Walker, 73 50 cents daily THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 99 DuPont report: C8 detected in filtered water Tiny but detectable amounts of C8 found in treated Ohio Valley water Callie Lyons Special to Heartland Publications OHIO VALLEY — Despite the installation of technology meant to filter C8, very small amounts can still be found dripping from the taps of households served by some local water systems, according to the reports from DuPont to the EPA. Sampling results obtained from the EPA reveal that small but measurable amounts of the controversial manufacturing chemi- cal routinely break through some of the filtration systems. DuPont has provided the means to reduce the concentration of C8 to nondetectable levels, but the court-mandated process lacks regulatory oversight. Filtration is even more important to those living in the impacted communities because while DuPont’s C8 emissions have reportedly been reduced by more than 98 percent, levels of C8 in untreated water have continued to increase in places like Belpre and Little Hocking. In April, the C8 Science Panel released findings linking C8 exposure in local residents to two types of cancer. Like some household filtration systems, the industrial filtration facilities built for Belpre, Little Hocking, Pomeroy and Tuppers Plains use granular activated carbon to capture contaminants. The purity of the water is dependent upon regular changes of the filtration material because, See WATER |‌ 5 SSJCF grant cycle open to applicants Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com Nathan Jeffers/photos 95 competing teams and an estimated 300 spectators gathered at the Mason Levee and park for the 22nd Annual Bend Area C.A.R.E Catfish Tournament.

Catfish Tournament deemed a success Nathan Jeffers njeffers@heartlandpublications.com MASON, W.Va. — This past weekend, fishing teams traveled up and down the Ohio River in search of that monster fish that would help them win first place at the 22nd annual Bend area C.A.R.E. Catfish Tournament. Probably the most coveted of all the awards at the tournament is the ‘Big Cat’ award for the largest catfish. Winning first place in the ‘Big Cat’ category was 10-year old Joshua Lange, with a catfish weighing in at 53.38 pounds. Elvis Zerkle with the tournament’s event staff stated Lange was the youngest ‘Big Cat’ winner and the catfish was the second biggest catfish they’ve had in the history of the tournament. Winning second place ‘Big Cat’ were John Gibson and Terry Legg See CATCH ‌| 5 Pictured are Larry and Joshua Lange with their award winning catfish weighing in at 53.38 pounds, the second largest catfish in the history of the tournament.

Middleport sewer line replacement nearing completion Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — In less than two weeks, the sewer line replacement work on North Second Street in downtown Middleport will be completed, and while the streets will remain rough for a time yet, the inconvenience of having to take detours and trying to avoid moving heavy equipment will be over. All of the work in the business district is being done at night so that stores can be open during their regular hours of operation. Mayor Michael Gerlach worked out that arrangement so that it wouldn’t put an additional hardship on the businesses. New sewer lines have been laid in several sections of the village already, and Gerlach reports that the $7 million project that got under way last November is scheduled to be finished in October. While the work has created in- conveniences for residents and even those traveling through the village, the sewer upgrade project had to be done in order to prevent raw sewage from getting into the Ohio River during heavy rain storms. Doing something to correct that situation came not as a choice for the village, but as a mandate from the Environmental Protection Agency. The entire cost of the project is being paid for with outside funding including grants and a loan from the Environmental Protection Agency which has granted the village “full forgiveness.” That means there is no cost to the village nor to its residents for the required sewer upgrade. The sewer lines went right through Diles Park which for years has been swampy for days after a rain. When the work started there, village officials had to move the playground equipment out of the way. This actually created an op- portunity for them to move it from in front of the stage and relocate it to the other side of the depot which allows more space for seating at community events. As for complaints about the condition of some of the streets, Gerlach assures that when the project is completed the streets will be repaired. His plea now is for patience from the public. “Remember it was a project we were required to do and got $7 million of free money to pay for it. That means the residents don’t have to pay for it. You just can’t dig 20 feet deep trenches in town without making a mess. We are using the street sweeper to contain as much dirt as we can,” Gerlach said. Meanwhile, Columbia Gas has come to town to replace gas lines. As for the streets they have to take Charlene Hoeflich/photo up to do the required work, the gas Night after night, the work of replacing sewer lines in downtown Middleport goes on. company will make the repairs. �Thursday, June 7, 2012 Traffic stop nets $23K in illegal drugs GALLIPOLIS — An Ohio man is facing felony drug charges after Troopers with the Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol seized over $23,000 in contraband from his vehicle following a traffic stop on Tuesday afternoon. According to a release issued by the Gallipolis Post, the stop occurred at 12:10 p.m. near milepost 17 on U.S. 35 in Gallia County. A 1994 Pontiac Firebird driven by Heath A. McGarvey, 26, of Chillicothe, was stopped for a marked lanes violation. The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Reportedly, criminal indicators were observed by troopers at the stop and a consent search revealed 149 Opana tablets, 25 grams of cocaine and 105 grams of heroin. McGarvey was charged with the possession of heroin, a first-degree felony, as well as the possession of cocaine and the possession of Opana, both second-degree felonies. The suspect was arrested at the scene and is currently incarcerated in the Gallia County Jail. According to the release, Heath A. McGarvey if convicted, McGarvey could face up to 26 years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine as a result of the incident. term runs through 2014, and he faces a state that’s still bitterly divided over his move to end collective bargaining rights for most public employees. “It’s time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward,” Walker said in an interview minutes after his victory. “I think it’s important to fix things, but it’s also important to make sure we talk about it and involve people in the process.” Walker planned to invite all members of the Legislature to meet as soon as next week over burgers, brats and “maybe a little bit of good Wisconsin beer.” GOP’s Wisconsin win signals opportunity for Romney MILWAUKEE (AP) — Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s recall victory in Wisconsin sets the stage for what’s now expected to be a hard-fought presidential battle for this Midwestern state. The Republican’s solid victory served as a warning for President Barack Obama about the potential hurdles he faces as he fights to hang onto a traditionally Democratic battleground he won comfortably in 2008.

You may decide that this is a good path for you to continue to follow, but trying to hide the reason from your friends probably is not the best path for you. I’m sure they will still like you if you don’t drink, and if not, you may want to rethink some of your relationships. You should be able to do what you feel is right for you and have a group of friends who support you. There are groups of teens in similar positions, where you can find some common experiences and feel that everyone understands what you are going through. You also can find a friend or two who don’t drink, and work on building relationships with others who won’t judge you. But you will be most content when you stop worrying about following in your parents’ footsteps and find the self-confidence to make decisions for yourself without so much fear.

Meigs County Local Briefs Walker looks to mend Wisconsin political divide over brats, beer MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker, fresh from becoming the nation’s first governor ever to survive a recall election, wants to go about mending Wisconsin’s political divide in an egalitarian way: over brats and beers. Walker defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett on Tuesday for the second time in year and a half, turning back a recall effort that began with the collection of more than 900,000 signatures seeking his ouster. It was only the third gubernatorial recall in U.S. history. Now the rising Republican star is focusing his message on what lies ahead. His Meigs County Community Calendar 93 Columbus Rd.

Stay safe this summer while visiting Ohio State Parks Use these tips to make swimming experiences fun and safe COLUMBUS — With the arrival of summer fast approaching and more sunny seasonal weather on the horizon, many people turn to a day of refreshing swimming fun at an Ohio State Park beach. Making the day safe is just as important as enjoying the visit, which is the focus of SwimSafe!, the state park beach safety program. SwimSafe! is a program which focuses on the importance of parental supervision for children, as well as preparation, awareness and personal responsibility for swimmers of all ages. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) implemented this safety campaign in 2000. To fully enjoy a safe outing at a park beach, follow these tips: ● Keep a sharp eye on young children while they are in the water; ● Lakes are not swimming pools, the water is murky and people may not notice where it becomes deeper, so exercise caution; ● Bring a cell phone to make an emergency call if necessary. Check that cell phone service is available at that location before swimming; ● Swim only in designated areas of the beach and the lake; ● Use the buddy system and designate one member of the party to remain on the beach to keep watch on the others while they are swimming; ● Enjoy the fun that water offers, but take regular breaks and relax on the beach; ● Alcohol and swimming do not mix. Leave alcoholic beverages at home when coming to the beach; and ● It cannot be emphasized enough — watch children at all times. “Safety is vital for family outings in our parks,” said Glen Cobb, chief of Ohio State Parks. “Keeping children safe around wa- ter is a top priority, and all parents and adult guardians should know where their children are during an outing to a state park beach.” Ohio State Parks offer 78 beaches on 47 inland lakes in addition to nine beaches on Lake Erie. There are also 20 swimming pools in the state park system. Last year, more than 4.1 million people visited state park beaches and pools across Ohio. Ohio State Parks are operated by ODNR’s Division of Parks and Recreation. Syria crisis causes spike in draft-dodging Dog left at Missouri rest TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) — Approaching his 18th birthday, Hamza, a merchant sailor from Syria, resigned himself to the fate awaiting him when he reached adulthood: A year and a half of mandatory military service. Then last year, the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted with demonstrations calling for change. Troops dispatched by Syria’s autocratic regime shot protesters and shelled opposition towns, killing thousands of civilians. That altered the plan for Hamza, and for a growing number of young Syrians who are dodging the draft out of fear that military service will force them to kill their countrymen — or get killed themselves. “I couldn’t go because the army is supposed to protect people, but all this army does is protect Assad,” said Hamza, now a wispy-bearded 19-yearold with thick biceps from his work at sea. He fled Syria this year to Tripoli, a city on Lebanon’s Medi- terranean coast. Unable to work, he lives in hiding in a small apartment here with six other draft-dodgers. Young Syrians have long avoided the draft by traveling abroad, cooking up medical excuses or using connections and bribes to get their names off the rolls. But anti-regime activists in and outside Syria say the number has shot up during the 15-month conflict that the U.N. says has killed more than 9,000 people. In Mass., few are forced to pay insurance penalty BOSTON (AP) — It’s the single most contentious element of President Barack Obama’s health care law: the requirement that nearly everyone have insurance or face a financial hit. But in Massachusetts, the only state with a so-called individual mandate, the threat of a tax penalty has sparked little public outcry since the state’s landmark health care law was signed in 2006 by the governor, Mitt Romney. Romney, now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, pushed for the mandate saying it would discourage “free riders,” those who can afford health coverage but instead rely on emergency rooms for free care and drive up insurance premiums for everyone else. “What we are mandating is that individuals have personal responsibility either to pay for their own health care bill or to receive insurance,” Romney said at the time. As a presidential candidate, Romney has tried to draw a line between his law and Obama’s, in most instances saying that states and not the federal government should decide whether to impose the requirement. Silhouetted speck of Venus travelling across sun HONOLULU (AP) — Filtering the sun’s light to a miniscule fraction of its true power allowed sky-gazers over the world to watch a silhouetted Venus travel across Earth’s closest star, an extremely rare spectacle that served as a reminder of how tiny our planet really is. After all, the next transit is 105 years away — likely beyond all of our lifetimes but just another dinky speck in the time- line of the universe. “I’m sad to see Venus go,” electrical engineer Andrew Cooper of the W.M. Keck Observatory told viewers watching a webcast of the transit’s final moments as seen from the nearly 14,000foot summit of Mauna Kea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. From Maui to Mumbai, Mexico to Norway, much of the world watched the 6-hour, 40-minute celes- tial showcase through special telescopes, live streams on the Internet or with the naked eye through cheap cardboard glasses. “If you can see the mole on Cindy Crawford’s face, you can see Venus,” Van Webster, a member of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society, told anyone who stopped by his telescope for a peek on Mount Hollywood. STARTS 8PM FREE area waits for two days HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) — A 9-monthold Yorkie wasn’t about to leave a Missouri rest stop without his master. Mistakenly left behind by an Arkansas truck driver, Rambo waited there for two days until his owner was able to track him down. Rambo jumped out of Michael Siau’s rig when Siau stopped at a rest area near Hannibal on Friday, the Hannibal Courier-Post reported. “Didn’t even cross my mind that he might jump out. He never has before,” Siau said. “I jumped back in the truck, put it in gear and drove off. And I just thought he was in the back asleep.” Siau made it all the way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 170 miles to the north, before he realized Rambo was gone. But he knew if he turned around, his schedule would be thrown off and his job jeopardized. Siau was heartbroken. In October, Rambo’s father, Ollie, who also accompanied Siau on trips, was run over and killed. Siau was so distraught he took six months off work, and the thought of losing another dog was too much to bear. Siau said he was “freaking out” as he tried to determine where Rambo was lost. He finally concluded the puppy must Ohio school withholds diploma because of cheering CINCINNATI (AP) — A suburban Cincinnati high school is withholding a graduate’s diploma and requiring community service as punishment for what it describes as overly boisterous cheering by his family during his graduation ceremony.

By Sunday morning, he had learned Hannibal had jurisdiction over the rest area. Hannibal animal control officer Tim Ledbetter was sent to the site. Sure enough, little Rambo was there, sitting patiently. But he might not have been there much longer. Ledbetter said a family that had stopped at the rest area was just about to adopt the apparently lost puppy. “In about 60 seconds, he would have been gone,” Ledbetter said. Siau was in Hannibal Tuesday to pick up his buddy and thank those at the animal shelter who found Rambo and took care of him. When a shelter worker brought the dog out for the reunion, Rambo heard Siau call his name and began to whimper, tremble and squirm. Once in Siau’s arms, Rambo climbed up his shoulder and began kissing the back of his neck. “You’ve never been this excited,” Siau said. Siau and Rambo then left for the next stop, Tennessee. From now on, Siau said, he’ll always make sure Rambo is on board.

Stock prices are down to 2011 levels and news on the European debt front is menacing. What’s a Democrat to do? Ride it out, as President Barack Obama tried to do on Friday in the aftermath of particularly dreary economic reports. “We will come back stronger,” he said in Golden Valley, Minn. “We do have better days ahead.” Or conjure fears of an even worse fate. The Republicans’ “only plan is to hand more tax breaks to millionaires, Big Oil, special interests and corporations that ship jobs overseas,” said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. Whatever the merit of Obama’s optimism or the truth of Pelosi’s charge — one was challenged by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the other by GOP congressional leaders — no Democrat was claiming they can take the place of a strong economic recovery when it comes to the party’s political fortunes. Yet after 3½ years in office and uncounted battles with Republicans, it isn’t obvious what type of stimulus measures might be available to Obama and his allies in Congress. “Businesses have pulled in their horns, given the growing amount of uncertainty,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University. He said the administration and Congress must immediately address a “fiscal cliff” approaching at year’s end. That’s when tax cuts first enacted during the administration of George W. Bush are set to expire, acrossthe-board spending cuts are scheduled to take effect and government borrowing is due to hit the debt ceiling. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that expiration of the tax cuts and implementation of automatic spending cuts would “represent an additional drag on the weak economic expansion.” The result would be a 1.3 percent economic contraction in the first half of 2013 and “probably be judged to be a recession,” it said. It’s a threat that Sohn and others cited Friday as a reason that companies are putting the brakes on hiring. Yet Obama and Republicans have staked out dramatically different positions on tax cuts and spending reductions, and barring a change, there is no significant possibility of compromise legislation before the November elections to address any of the issues raised by Sohn. Obama and most Democrats want to allow tax cuts expire at year’s end for wealthier wages earners as a way to cut future deficits. Republicans generally oppose any tax increases. Both sides seem content to submit their disagreement to the voters this fall. On spending, Republicans want to avoid the across-theboard reductions cemented into place last fall when the two sides failed to agree on an overall plan to attack the nation’s ever-escalating debt. The GOP warns that the impact of the cuts on the Pentagon would be detrimental to the nation’s security. Democrats accuse Republicans of seeking deeper reductions in social programs and are opposed. That issue, like taxes and a possible increase in the debt limit, probably will be handled in a postelection session of Congress this fall, if not in 2013. The short-term outlook turned gloomy late last week. The Labor Department said the economy produced only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year. The unemployment rate rose from 8.1 percent to 8.2 percent. No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Great Depression has won a new term with joblessness that high. The construction industry cut 28,000 positions, its worst monthly performance in two years. Manufacturing activity slowed, although a measure of new orders rose to a 13-month high in a suggestion of better times ahead. Sales of new homes climbed 3.3 percent in April to the second highest level in two years, but the rate is still just half the level that economists consider healthy. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 200 points and closed down for the year. The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the officials with the biggest influence over the shortterm fate of the economy are in Europe, struggling with a debt crisis and in China, struggling with a slowdown. “The Europeans have to figure out a way to keep Greece in the eurozone, at least for the next six to 12 months,” he said. The worry is that a disorderly Greek exit from the eurozone could cause a loss of investor confidence and risk a spread of weakness to Spain. “The Spanish banks have announced more loan losses and it is clear they don’t have sufficient capital reserves to cover those losses and it is not clear where they are going to get that capital,” Zandi said. The risk is a crisis akin to the one that froze the U.S. banking system in 2008, feeding the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. If there is little that can be done to affect the economy itself in the short-term, there’s plenty of competition to shape public sentiment. “This crisis has been going on for 40 months,” Romney said told CNBC on Friday. “The job of the president is to get America back to work.” But while Romney tries to make the election a referendum on Obama, Democrats have different ideas. “The natural state of a presidential election is to be a referendum on the incumbent. … The natural strategy of the incumbent in this case is to turn it from a referendum to a choice,” said Mark Mellman, a pollster who works for Democrats. Obama’s campaign has invested heavily in advertising in about a dozen pivotal states, attacking Romney’s claim that his business experience qualifies him to lead the economic recovery. In some of the states, North Carolina and Nevada among them, unemployment is higher than the national average. In others, including Iowa and Ohio, it is lower. In many, the polls are close, mirroring the national surveys. P. Solomon Banda, Associated Press FORT CARSON, Colo. (AP) — In 1943, an enraged Gen. George S. Patton slapped a battle-fatigued U.S. soldier at a military hospital and accused him of cowardice, an episode that nearly ended Patton’s career. Nearly 70 years later, two filmmakers — one of them Patton’s grandson — are trying to help soldiers cope with what is now called post-traumatic stress disorder by getting them to tell their war stories through a movie. “Their generation just didn’t understand what this meant,” said Ben Patton, who takes his grandfather’s violent reaction as a sign that he too may have been suffering PTSD. “And that’s my call to action.” With a growing demand for ways to treat the psychological damage of war, one Army pilot project is encouraging soldiers to take control of their own stories in a filmmaking class titled I Was There Media Workshop. The Fort Carson program began last year under the auspices of Patton, a New York documentary filmmaker, and Scott Kinnamon, a Denver educational filmmaker. Some 20 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars so far have attempted to organize their combat experiences in video as a way to fight PTSD. “You can put everything into a video or a movie, a small movie about what you want to tell people — your story,” said 1st Sgt. Jason Gallegos of Fountain, Colo., who deployed to Iraq three times and has now produced a short film called “From Hero to Zero.” “If they want to watch it, great. If they don’t, then don’t. But I don’t have to go through the process of the ‘angsting’ up to tell somebody something, just for them to be interested for a minute,” Gallegos said. Some 2.3 million men and women have served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan in the past decade. The Rand Corp. said as many as 300,000 veterans of those wars may have suffered PTSD or major depression. The Pentagon and the Veterans Affairs Department have been ramping up therapy options for several years now and the effort continues as some troops continue to go undiagnosed or untreated. Gallegos was a tank commander in Iraq and vividly recalls what he felt after his first engagement with insurgents in 2003. He ordered a tank gunner to fire on a man who had launched a rocket propelled grenade at his tank, and he watched through nightvision goggles as the bullets cut through the man. Another reminder of the pain of war is a picture of Army Cpl. Gary Brent Coleman, of Pikeville, Ky., that Gallegos keeps on his Facebook page. Coleman was 24 when he died in an accident that tipped a Humvee under Gallegos’ command into a canal near Balad, Iraq, in November 2003. Gallegos and another soldier in the Humvee survived and Coleman died despite desperate efforts by Gallegos and the other solider to find him in the murky water.

Filmmaking as a way to document or cope with the lasting emotional impact of combat is not a new concept. In Los Angeles, ex-U.S. Marine filmmaker Garrett Anderson is making a documentary film with video from pocket digitial cameras that was captured during the November 2004 battle of Fallujah. The 2010 Academy Award nominated “Restrepo,” by author Sebastian Junger and photographer Tim Hetherington, tells the story of a platoon in combat in Afghanistan and its resulting emotional impact on the soldiers. What’s different now is that the Army is looking at filmmaking as possible therapy. Maj. Christopher Ivany, a psychiatrist and former head of Fort Carson’s behavioral health services unit, approved the trial classes to supplement more-established therapy programs for returning veterans. The goal, he said, is to encourage soldiers to “take control of the things that happened in the past and paint that in a specific way that makes sense.” “And hopefully do that in a way that allows them to think about that as a more productive or positive and more realistic past event, and then go forward in their life easier,” Ivany said. In the case of Gallegos, making the film “From Hero to Zero” was a way for him to cope with what he describes as a letdown feeling sparked by his pending return to civilian life — which was brought on by a diagnosis for leukemia. The “Hero” refers to his combat experiences in Iraq. The “Zero” depicts him learning about his leukemia and trying to deal with the end of his military career. “My time in the Army is coming to an end, and I take a lot of pride in what I did over there,” Gallegos said. The results of video as therapy haven’t been scientifically validated. Kinnamon and Patton are working with medical researchers and the military to develop a way to study the possible benefits of filmmaking. Barbara Rothbaum, a psychiatry professor and PTSD expert at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, said there’s little to no data on filmmaking for PTSD but that it may follow a proven treatment known as exposure therapy. The idea is that exposure to the memory, like other methods that include talking to a therapist who might record a conversation and replay it, can eventually help a soldier face the traumatic experience at the core of distressing memories. Ivany noted that some therapy treatments, such as sports and exercise, “were relatively new and seemingly out of left field probably eight to 10 years ago.” The term PTSD wasn’t even formally adopted until 1980, five years after the Vietnam War ended. “It’s a real thing,” Patton said.

Ohio teen indicted in three Ohio higher ed leaders urge school shooting deaths campus bans on tobacco CLEVELAND (AP) — A 17-year-old boy has been charged with three counts of aggravated murder in the school shooting deaths of three students and the wounding of three others, according to an indictment released Tuesday. The indictment was returned by a Geauga County grand jury against T.J. Lane in the Feb. 27 attack at Chardon High School east of Cleveland. A judge ruled last month that Lane must be tried as an adult. Lane could face life in prison if convicted. He was indicted on three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. No motive has been established. One of Lane’s attorneys, Mark DeVan, said there would be no comment. Lane’s arraignment was scheduled for Friday in Chardon. Killed in the attacks were Demetrius Hewlin, 16, Russell King Jr., 17, and Daniel Parmertor, 16. Minors aren’t eligible for the death penalty in Ohio. Had his case been routed to juvenile court, the maximum possible penalty would have kept him jailed until he turned 21. The judge who sent the case to adult felony court rejected a defense request to release Lane on a $500,000 bond and said Lane would pose a risk to flee and a safety risk to the community. A psychiatrist who examined Lane testified earlier that Lane sometimes loses touch with reality and suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies. But Dr. Phillip Resnick said none of the symptoms detailed in a mental evaluation would prevent Lane from understanding the case against him and helping in his defense. Under a new state law, a child can be found competent only if he or she is able to grasp the seriousness of the charges and understand the proceedings. Resnick said Lane also has experienced migraine headaches, a narrow range of emotions and withdrawing from people. Lane attended an alternative school for students who haven’t done well in traditional schools; he had been at Chardon waiting for a bus. Prosecutor David Joyce said Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to the high school and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table at the start of the school day. CLEVELAND (AP) — A measure urging a ban on tobacco on Ohio’s public college campuses will be presented to the state’s higher education board, the board chairman said. Ohio Board of Regents Chairman James Tuschman plans to introduce the resolution at a regents meeting this month, The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/M41eQi) reported Monday. “It’s the right thing to do,” Tuschman said. Trustees at each of the state’s 14 universities and 23 community colleges would have to make the decision on whether to impose a stricter ban on their campus. Many colleges in Ohio banned smoking in buildings even before a state law that went into effect in 2007 restricted smoking inside most public places and workplaces. People can smoke on college greens and other open areas on most of the state’s campuses. The resolution, supported by Chancellor Jim Petro, was influenced by a plea to regents last month from Dr. Toby Cosgrove, chief executive of the Cleveland Clinic. “Universities take a great deal of thought, time and expense to educate the brain,” Cosgrove told the regents. “You have to think about educating the bodies.” Cosgrove, who says 20 percent of people in the United States continue to smoke, told regents that 37 percent of college students who smoke begin after they enroll because of factors including stress, drinking and social pressure and weight control. Petro said he began smoking a pack a day at Denison University and smoked five or six cigarettes daily for 40 years before quitting four years ago. At least one doctor told him the laryngeal cancer he was diagnosed with in 2009 could have been caused by smoking, said Petro, who is now cancer-free. The number of smoke-free college campuses across the nation has grown from a handful to around 700 since Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights in Berkeley, Calif., began tracking information a decade ago, that organization’s associate director, Bronson Frick, said. Arkansas, Iowa and Oklahoma have banned smoking on all state college campuses. Ohio regent Vinny Gupta said several college presidents told him they feared losing enrollment to other Ohio colleges if they ban tobacco on their campuses. But Frick said enrollment and employment have not been affected at smoke-free campuses and many schools save money on health costs. Miami University in southwest Ohio is the only public university in Ohio that bans smoking on campus, the newspaper reported. A spokeswoman for Miami University in Oxford said the smoke-free policy instituted campus-wide in 2008 has not been detrimental there and people “are happy not to have to walk through smoke.” People who smoke at Miami do it in their cars or walk outside campus boundaries, spokeswoman Claire Wagner said. The University of Toledo bans all tobacco products but allows their use in seven huts around campus and in personal vehicles on campus. Notre Dame College in South Euclid and several other private colleges in Ohio have smoke-free campuses. Catch From Page 1 with a catfish weighing in at 34.74 pounds.

Zerkle reported there are normally around 100 teams in the tournament, but participation had slightly decreased due to the recent economic struggles. But Zerkle stated participation is increasing again, stating there were approximately 300 other spectators present as well. “I feel it’s one of the best years as far as spectators go,” Zerkle said about the tournament. Zerkle also stated this year’s tournament also had most sponsors compared to previous years. Door prizes included several fishing rods and reels, coolers, hunting and fishing equipment, and several lawn chairs and gift cards. Also recognized at the tournament was Charles Zerkle.

Water From Page 1 in time, the carbon becomes saturated with contaminants and loses its ability to grab any more. In these filtration systems, water circulates through one large bed of carbon (the lead bed) and then through another large bed of carbon (the lag bed). The idea is that the first bed of carbon should reduce the C8 to non-detectable levels, but if anything does get through, the second bed would catch it. In order to insure proper operation of the facility, fresh carbon must be installed before the old carbon loses its effectiveness. DuPont is bound by the terms of a class action lawsuit settlement to provide for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the six local filtration systems — including fresh beds of carbon when they are needed. So, while the filtration systems are adequately constructed to reduce C8 to non-detectable levels, EPA reports indicate that in some locations, carbon change outs are not being performed frequently enough to prevent breakthroughs. One exception is the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA) — the place with the highest concentration of C8 contamination. Since the filtration plant’s construction, C8 levels in the association’s pretreated water have increased from four parts per billion in 2007 to 10 parts per billion in 2011. Even so, more stringent standards for carbon change outs have kept the contamination from ever breaking through the filtration system. The LHWA has a different permit for their filtration facility which requires a change out of carbon filtration material when the C8 in the lead bed exceeds 15 parts per trillion — and long before the substance can penetrate the lag bed. The filtration system at LHWA has been through 24 carbon change outs since November 2007. By contrast, DuPont’s quarterly monitoring reports to EPA indicate that in Belpre, Pomeroy and Tuppers Plains C8 is being allowed to break through both the lead and lag beds before a change out is performed. Initially, when contacted about the potential for C8 to break through the filtration systems, Sarah Wallace of Ohio EPA explained that DuPont performs monthly monitoring for PFOA or C8 in both lead and lag carbon filters to effectively prevent breakthroughs. “They sample after both filters, and there has not been a breakthrough on the second level,” Wallace said. “The filters’ media is replaced before that could happen.” OEPA officials claim C8 is no longer detected in the finished water of the four public water systems in Ohio that were impacted by the contamination from DuPont Washington Works. “Ohio EPA regulates these water systems, all of which continue to treat their water to remove C8 and conduct routine compliance monitoring to ensure no detectable levels of C8 are present in the treated water which is provided to their consumers,” reiterated a statement from OEPA on May 8. However, monitoring reports provided by DuPont to EPA revealed a somewhat different pattern — with breakthroughs occurring prior to every change out of the carbon filtration system in three communities dating back to 2007. Carbon filtration material is changed out at the Belpre facility an average of about twice a year — or 11 times since 2006. EPA data indicates that C8 contamination broke through both beds of carbon filtration material and into the finished water prior to nine of those change outs. The concentration of C8 in Belpre’s pretreated water was 0.23 parts per billion in 2006 but increased to 0.35 parts per billion by 2011. Monitoring indicates that despite the relatively low levels of C8 in the Belpre water, the chemical has repeatedly seeped through two layers of carbon filtration in amounts exceeding 0.015 parts per billion. The concentration of C8 in pretreated water in Pomeroy has fluctuated only a little from a high of 0.022 parts per billion in 2007 to 0.018 parts per billion in 2011. The filtration system built for Pomeroy has been through six carbon change outs from 2006 to 2011. Four of the change outs followed a breakthrough — three in non-quantifiable amounts and one exceeding 0.015 parts per billion. In sampling results for Tuppers Plains, a similar trend emerged with detectable but non-quantifiable amounts of C8 breaking through the carbon filtration system and into the treated water. From 2006 to 2011, the Tuppers Plains filtration system had 12 carbon change outs — an average of about two per year. Unlike Belpre and Little Hocking, the concentration of C8 in Tuppers Plains’ pretreated water decreased over time from 0.111 parts per billion in 2006 to 0.052 parts per billion in 2011. “Ohio EPA’s requirements (in the plan approval) state that the media needs to be changed out if there is a detection on the effluent of both filters (i.e., what’s going into the system),” explained Erin Strouse, public information officer for OEPA. “DuPont has done so on all occasions.” Strouse said since C8 is cur- rently an unregulated chemical, Ohio EPA does not have any regulatory oversight on the matter except to approve the treatment and ensure it continues to be operated responsibly. The filtration systems were built by DuPont as part of a class action lawsuit settlement agreement with local water consumers. Also as a result of the suit, in April the C8 Science Panel announced a probable link between C8 exposure and kidney and testicular cancer in local residents. Last December, the panel found a link between C8 exposure and pregnancy induced hypertension. The group of three epidemiologists is expected to release their final reports by the end of July — bringing this portion of the court case to an end. A medical panel has already been established to determine what medical monitoring will be made available to members of the class at a cost of $235 million to DuPont. In the meantime, a federal lawsuit brought by the Little Hocking Water Association against DuPont over the contamination of their aquifer and wellfield is ongoing.

Browns’ Fujita hasn’t lost fight amid scandal BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns linebacker Scott Fujita admitted being in New Orleans’ locker room when former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams delivered his brutal pregame speech imploring the Saints to target players. Fujita said Tuesday he was escorting former teammate Steve Gleason, who is afflicted with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, in San Francisco last January when they attended New Orleans’ playoff game against the 49ers. Fujita, who has been suspended three games by the NFL for his role in the Saints’ bounty program, had not previously mentioned witnessing Williams’ vicious rant, which became public after it was released by a documentary filmmaker. Fujita reiterated he feels Williams’ comments were “highly inappropriate.” “I’m not proud of things that were said by Gregg Williams and at the same time he’s a man I respect and loved playing for, so there’s definitely a conflict with all that,” Fujita said after the Browns opened their threeday minicamp. Fujita was with the Saints from 2006-09 before he signed as a free agent with Cleveland. He has appealed his suspension, but Monday’s ruling by an arbitrator that commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to discipline players for their part in the pay-for-hits program was a blow to his chances of getting his penalty reduced. “It’s certainly disappointing, but this is a part of the process,” he said. “You’ve just got to be patient and respect that process and just keep hoping for a positive outcome.” Fujita has maintained he never contributed money to the Saints’ pool since being implicated in the scandal along with three other suspended players: linebacker Jonathan Vilma, defensive end Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay, and Saints defensive end Will Smith. Vilma, who has been suspended for all of next season, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Goodell. Fujita’s trying to remain upbeat during a personally challenging period when his reputation as an advocate for player safety has been questioned. The 32-yearold serves as an executive member for the NFLPA, a position he has no plans of leaving. “I accept that responsibility,” he said. “I was nominated a few years ago for a reason. I wanted to be a part of that culture change and help in pushing forward more health and safety measures, getting new benefits for the players and I take that seriously.

Selected for Meigs were tailback and linebacker Jeffrey Roush, wingback and cornerback Zach Sayre, and tight end, guard and linebacker Blake Crow. Roush rushed for 824 yards for the Marauders last season, caught five passes for 188 yards he was also one of the Marauders top defensive players as was Sayre and Crow. Sayre was a threat out of the back field both receiving and rushing for Meigs; he caught 12 passes for 249 yards. He also returned 14 kickoffs for 319 yards and a touchdown. Crow started the season as tight end but moved to the interior line after the first couple of games. He caught one pass for five yards and a score before moving to guard. The 40-player rosters will be coached by Mike Dawson from Ritchie County for West Virginia and by Andy Schob of Warren for Ohio. This year’s game will mark the first time the BACF Football Classic has been played not only in Marietta, but also back at Don Drumm, since its inception 18 years ago in 1994, when the inaugural Ohio versus West Virginia matchup featuring high school seniors from both sides of the Ohio River was held with Ohio winning 10-7. This year’s game will mark the first time the BACF Football Classic has been played not only in Marietta, but also back at Don Drumm, since its inception 18 years ago in 1994, when the inaugural Ohio versus West Virginia matchup featuring high school seniors from both sides of the Ohio River was held with Ohio winning 10-7. The series was only 6-5 in West Virginia’s favor after an 18-7 Ohio win at Williamstown in 2004. But West Virginia has forged a 12-6 series lead since then by winning six of the last seven games, including last year’s 14-0 victory with both touchdowns coming on a pair of fumble returns for scores. All proceeds from the game donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for research into finding a cure for the disease. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League opened their 2012 season this past Monday at the Hidden Valley Golf Course in Point Pleasant. The sun was shining, the golf course was green and the participants were enthused and ready to play. It was a fun and exciting day. The 10-and-under age group did not have any players so all future participants did not lose any ground in the chase for the championship. The winner in the boys division of the 11-12 age group was Jonah Hoback of Racine. Jonah’s score was a fine 44 for the nine holes played. The winner in the girls division for this age group was Sydney Cleland of Racine with a score of 54. Jacob Hoback, Jonah’s older brother, was the winner in the 13-14 age group. Jacob turned in a score of 48 for the day. The competition heated up in the 15-17 year old age group. The order of finish was not determined until the last player completed his round. Seth Jarrell from Crown City won this age group with a fine score of 40. Gus Slone from Crown City was a close second posting a score of 41. The third place position was secured by Ryan Schenkelberg from Syracuse with a score of 47. Ethan Swain from Crown City finished fourth with a score of 52. Jordan Howell from Gallipolis, Zach Morris from Vinton and Cuyler Mills from Crown City also played in this age group. David Michael from Crown City won the top honors in the 18-19 age group with a score of 41. The winner of each age group earned 10 points in the race for the best player of the year award. 8 points are earned for second place while third and fourth positions earn 6 and 4 points respectively. All other participants receive 2 points regardless of the score posted. The tournament schedule continues on Monday, June 11 at the Cliffside Golf Course in Gallipolis, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and play starts at 9 a.m. There is a small fee per player, which includes lunch after play is completed. Both girls and boys are welcome regardless of their experience. James’ season on the brink in Boston, again MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James appreciates the irony. Matching up against the Boston Celtics, on the road, with the season on the line. He faced it in 2008 and lost. He faced it in 2010 and lost, removing his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey for the final time as he left the floor that night. And now in a championshipor-bust season for the Miami Heat, James heads back to Boston for another win-or-else game. “It is fitting,” James said. The Celtics lead the Heat 3-2 in the Eastern Conference finals, and on Thursday night will look to clinch a third trip in five years to the NBA finals. If they succeed in Game 6 — or Game 7, if it comes to that — all three of those most recent Boston trips to the title round would come at James’ expense. His first five games at Boston resulted in three wins. His 19 games there since have also resulted in three wins. No team, maybe no other building, has befuddled James as much as the Celtics and the arena they call home. He’s had a 45-point effort there in a loss, a 42-point effort there in a loss, a 27-point, 19-rebound, 10-assist effort there in a loss. Another loss on Thursday, and his ninth season will end as the previous eight did — without a championship. “I know how much pain this team has given me over the years,” James said. “So I guess it’s only right that we would be going up there in an elimination game. In order for us to keep our season going, we’ve got to win See SEASON |‌ 7 Michael Laughlin/Sun Sentinel/MCT photo Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett is guarded closely by Miami Heat forward LeBron James during the third quarter in Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, Tuesday, June 5, 2012, at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida. Mattia, Lower named to CoSIDA all-academic team Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – A pair of runners representing the University of Rio Grande have been named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-District women’s track & field/cross country teams by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Senior Cassie Mattia (West Chester, OH) and junior Amy Lower (Lancaster, OH) were recognized for their combined performances in the classroom and on the track for the RedStorm. CoSIDA’s Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the first year that the program has expanded from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) to separate teams for NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and College (a combination of NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools). Rio Grande is part of the District I College Division. Mattia and Lower were both members of theRedStorm’s 4x800 relay squad which re-wrote the school record book throughout the course of the indoor and outdoor season, although Lower was hampered by an injury for a good portion of the outdoor campaign. The quartet, which also included seniors Kayla Graves (Chillicothe, OH) and Kayla Renner (Galloway, OH) and freshman Samantha Barnes (Gallipolis, OH), captured the Mid-South Conference championship by finishing in a time of 9:20.75 – a mark that eclipsed the previous school-best time they’d set in March at Coastal Carolina University’s Shamrock Invitational by nearly eight full seconds. It was almost 28 seconds faster than the previous MSC meet record. The foursome, including Lower as an alternate, advanced to the NAIA National Championship two weeks ago, but narrowly missed qualifying for the finals in the event. Mattia also set a new MSC meet record in the 800-meter run with her finish of 2:16.37, bettering the old mark of 2:17.20 that she had established one year earlier. That time, however, was nearly two seconds slower than the school-best 2:14.71, which she ran on April 21 at the Eastern Kentucky Open – a mark which qualified her for the national championship. Her finish in the EKU Open bettered her previous school record of 2:14.94 which, earlier this year, erased the previous school record of 2:15.20 set by Rio Grande Hall of Famer Perri Martin 32 years ago. Unfortunately, Mattia also narrowly missed qualifying for the finals at the national championships. Lower, an Intervention Specialist major, carries a 3.85 grade point average, while Mattia, a Communications major, had a 3.77 GPA. Student-athletes were required to carry a minimum 3.30 GPA in order to be considered for the honor. Mattia and Lower now advance to the All-America ballot. First-, second-, and third-team selections on a national level will be announced later this month. �Thursday, June 7, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio teen runner helps carry competitor to finish CINCINNATI (AP) — A western Ohio high school runner who helped a struggling competitor finish their race is being praised for her sportsmanship and trying to cope with the attention it has sparked. Meghan Vogel appreciates the accolades but said Tuesday that she is a bit overwhelmed by the praise that has been pouring in since Saturday’s track meet in Columbus. The 17-year-old West Liberty-Salem High School junior was in last place in the 3,200-meter run as she caught up to Arlington High School sophomore Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of zipping past McMath to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath’s arm around her shoulders, half-dragging and half-carrying her about 30 meters to the finish line. Vogel, who pushed McMath over the line before crossing it, has been getting Facebook and Twitter messages and mail from friends and strangers saying she has inspired them with her sportsmanship. It’s an honor and very humbling,” Vogel said in a telephone interview from her West Liberty home. “I just thought I was doing the right thing, and I think others would have done the same.” But McMath, 16, of Findlay, said in a telephone interview from her northwestern Ohio home that she’s not so sure. “I’ really don’t think just everyone would have done that,” she said. “I just couldn’t believe what she did — especially pushing me in front of her — and I’m so grateful.” Both girls are a little hazy about the details. “The last thing I remember was seeing Arden fall and then trying to get her to the finish line,” Vogel said. McMath remembered feeling like she was “blacking in and out” and falling a few times before Vogel helped her. Vogel, who had won the 1,600-meter race earlier, said she was emotional and tired from that when she began the longer race. She also felt “a little woozy” afterward and found herself next to McMath in the training room, where the Arlington student was being treated. McMath says her sodium levels apparently were low, but she has recovered. Vogel’s mother, Ann Vogel, is West Liberty-Salem’s track and field coach. Technically both runners should have been disqualified, but the official decided not to make that call, she said. Neither runner scored any points, so team standings weren’t affected. McMath finished 14th, and Vogel finished 15th. Ann Vogel said she’s very proud of her daughter, and the response has been amazing. Season in their building. So that’s what it’s about.” It’s no secret that the expectation — both internally and externally — for the Heat is to win championships. That’s what James famously vowed to get when he came to Miami in July 2010, and after losing in last season’s finals to Dallas, it’s been the only goal for the Heat in what the team has steadfastly referred to as a no-excuse season. James won his third MVP award this season. He’s averaging 29.9 points in the playoffs, six points better than his pace from a year ago and one-tenth of a point away from Kobe Bryant for the league’s postseason lead in that department. And if Miami loses on Thursday night, the Heat season — and James’ — will go down in most circles as a failure. “We have to do this together,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. “He’s going to do what he’s supposed to do, and we’re going to do what we’re supposed to do. We’re going to do it together. We live and die together. You can’t just single him out. People have to stop doing that. It’s a team sport. If he performs, he’s going to perform, and he’s going to do his job.” Even with the Heat down in the series after a 94-90 home loss the previous night, Wednesday’s practice ANNOUNCEMENTS SERVICES Business ANNOUNCEMENTS SERVICES in Miami did not have a funereal mood. James was chatting and laughing as he shot free throws with some teammates toward the end of the workout, not far from where Heat President Pat Riley sat at his customary table to watch the proceedings. Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem teased each other about how much the other read, or didn’t read, while enrolled at Florida. Mario Chalmers and assistant coach David Fizdale were talking about nuances of Boston guard Ray Allen’s game. “I think we’re all disciplined enough to compartmentalize and focus on the challenge that we have ahead of us,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It never is easy on your journey to try to be an NBA champion. You’ll always have these tough moments where you have to come together and go through that moment together. You can’t skip it. There isn’t an easy way.” There usually isn’t an easy way against Boston, which is why this core of James, Bosh and Dwyane Wade came together in the first place. James wanted to increase his odds of winning a championship. Bosh wanted to get in the mix for one. When the Heat lost a first-round series to Boston in 2010, Wade vowed that Miami would get back to title-contending or he would go elsewhere. “We got together, we want to compete for a championship, we want to win a championship every year,” Wade said. “To us, it’s not about outside expectations. It’s our own expectations. You think if we lose, you guys are hurt by it? No. We are hurt by it. “This is what we love to do,” Wade added. “This is what our families love us to do. It’s what we work all year for. We put a lot into it, obviously, as well as the other teams in the NBA. This is our job. So we’re going to try to go out there and do our job and try to get a win.” That burden will largely fall on James, of course. “No one said it was going to be easy,” James said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge, me personally. I’m looking forward to it more than probably anyone on the team. So I’m going to lead these guys in the right direction, and hopefully it results in us winning.” Otherwise, it’ll be another long summer. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to try to come through for our team,” James said. “(Tuesday) night I felt like I could have made a couple more plays, and I didn’t. But at the end of the day, if you play hard, you go out there and lay it on the line, the numbers will take care of itself. And you can be happy with it.” Scandal From Page 6 walk away from the players on that.” Because of his higher profile, Fujita realizes he may have been targeted more than another player. However, the 10-year veteran said he wouldn’t conduct himself any differently. “I don’t have any regrets for anything I’ve ever done,” he said. “You look back and you say things in meetings occasionally. Again, the pregame hype speech and bravado, it’s all kind of funny the next day and you laugh about it. Again, I don’t regret anything. It’s a part of the growth as a man and a football player. “Again, I’d like to keep this about football as much as possible and eliminate those distractions. Because if you let all that come in and take away from your focus, then you lose perspective.” Fujita refused to discuss filmmaker Sean Pamphlion’s recent assertions that the linebacker and Saints quarterback Drew Brees knew about his recording of Williams’ speech and pushed for him to release it to help clear the players’ names. Pamphilon is filming a documentary about Gleason’s struggle with the incurable disease. “A lot of things are personal matters and I’m just going to leave it at that,” Fujita said. “Sean Pamphilon is a very good filmmaker who absolutely wants to affect positive change when it comes to health and safety in this game and I absolutely respect that.” Fujita acknowledged the past few months have taken a toll on him. However, he has no immediate plans to retire. He said a recent trip to New York with Gleason allowed him to re-evaluate his situation and regain any lost perspective. They attended a United Nations summit to promote new technologies for ALS patients when they met a young man who in two years raised $75 million to bring clean water to Africa. “Things like that gives you a sense of perspective, and as much as I’m worried about (my) reputation and all that kind of stuff, We buy Gold and Silver FINANCIAL Located at Roush’s Body Shop in Portland 740-843-5310 300 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 Lost & Found Please leave a message FINANCIAL 300 SERVICES LOST-Three yr old male beagle wearing a faded orange collar, with a tag saying Colgate Woods Vet, has ID & phone number and answers to Flea, has white tip on tail.

It’s a league issue and we support, of course, the league and what it does, and when Scott’s back he will play.” Browns kicker Phil Dawson offered an even stronger endorsement of Fujita. After playing with him for two seasons, Dawson, who has been with the club since 1999, believes in Fujita’s honesty and integrity. “There’s not many teammates I’ve had through the years that I hold in higher regard than Scott Fujita,” Dawson said. “I haven’t been here, so I haven’t had the luxury to be able to hang out and talk to him about everything. But he has my full support and I hope this mess gets over soon. “He deserves that and we definitely want him out here with us.” Fujita is looking forward to the day when the scandal which has enveloped him is finally over. But until the muddled matter is resolved, he’ll continue to fight for his name and for the rights of the players he represents. His passion hasn’t diminished. “There’s a lot that I’ve seen on this journey,” he said. “There’s a lot I’ve been involved in, a lot of conversations and negotiations, and I have a friend now who’s faced with what many people would call a terminal diagnosis. I have a lot of friends who I’ve lost this year. There are a lot of challenges, a lot of conflicts with that. But I still love the game, I still love my teammates, I love playing on Sundays, and that’s what keeps me coming back.” SERVICES ANNOUNCEMENTS 60318100 60314880 From Page 6 Written sealed bids will be received on or before noon, EDT, June 15 ,2012 at the Law Office of Crow and Crow, Attorney at Law, •110 West Second Street, P.O.

Others find you to be unusually charming, but be careful about how you express your stronger feelings. Learn to handle your anger so that it does not explode under you. If you are single, you draw someone close to you with ease. Shop around a little, for your own sake. If you are attached, the two of you seem to understand each other better because of unique new methods of self-expression. Enjoy! You could be very attracted to a CAPRICORN. In some ways, he or she is the opposite of you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH An important meeting, whether it is with one person or many, could be exciting and invigorating. Your mind drifts to family and loved ones in the meantime, as there is a matter you want to take care of. Someone pushes hard to have his or her way. Tonight: Where your friends are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others listen to your suggestions and watch you take the first step. You must make a decision. With your finances, you could be luckier than you think. Still, be aware of the risk you might be taking. Tonight: Till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be quite irritated by a personal matter. Calm down, and know that the presently difficult situation will work out in your favor. Remain sensitive to a loved one at a distance. Tonight: Consider a weekend getaway. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You do best when dealing with one individual. You could be concerned about a conversation you think might have a volatile tone. Worry less — you are going to land on your feet. Note what is working in your life as well as what is not working. Tonight: Have a chat with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Others seek you out. You might take a comment a little too personally that was not intended to be hurtful. Get together with like minds in a meeting. There is an element of good luck that emerges from the combination of people. Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Use care with your temper. Whatever you say and do, you could end up apologizing for; however, the other party might remember for a long time. Focus on funneling your energy in a positive fashion. Tonight: Sign up for a class, or decide to get more exercise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH News from a distance causes you to smile. You feel as if a long-term concern can be let go. Be careful about swallowing your frustration or anger. You might not like the end result. Let someone know when he or she pushes too far. Tonight: Where there is music. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that a partner drops on your plate. You might need to put your hand up as if to say, “Halt.” A meeting might be very provocative, as someone is trying very hard to dominate it. This person wants everyone to agree with him or her. Tonight: Head home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are likely to state your case loud and clear. You could encounter a problem with an older relative or friend who does not see eye-to-eye with you. Listen to what is going on with this person. Ultimately, everything will fall into place. Tonight: With a favorite person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be overwhelmed when handling a financial matter. This issue could involve your day-to-day life or someone you care a lot about. Be aware if you detach too much, because the other party might feel as if you simply are not interested. Tonight: Stay within your budget. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You’ll put your best foot forward. To a partner or key person, your efforts seem irrelevant. This person needs to express his or her anger, but the issue might not really be about you. Give yourself space, and you’ll find that others are more open and creative. Tonight: Do what you love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH It is not really necessary for you to handle someone’s distress. Perhaps it would be better to let this person work through it on his or her own. A healthy distance might be good for both of you. A parent or loved one is extremely nurturing. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
