Markley, 92 Fred ‘Cork’Taylor, 84 Tagg Romney campaigns for dad in Pomeroy Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — Speaking on behalf of his father, Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney, Tagg Romney spoke to a crowd of approximately 35 people at Wild Horse Café in Pomeroy on Friday afternoon. The eldest son of the presidential nominee, Romney spoke a little about policy, but more about the man running for the office. “Most of what you hear is about the policies,” said Romney. “I’m going to talk more about Mitt Romney the man and why I think he is a good man.” Romney highlighted two reasons why he believes his father should win the upcoming election — his policies and the type person he is. “My dad wants to restore the principles of free enterprise and pulling ourselves ahead,” said Romney. “He’s got an economic plan that cuts the taxes for the middle class and for all Americans and gets us to working … He wants to strengthen the military, not cut half a trillion dollars out of the military. “He wants to make this land a land of energy. We have so many resources here; there is no reason we can’t be energy independent,” added Romney. “Instead of making coal the enemy, we need to figure out ways to use coal that helps America, and create good jobs here in America.” Asked by The Daily Sentinel what a Romney presidency would mean for the coal industry — which is prominent in the area with four coal burning plants in the tri-county — Romney said, “My dad’s plan wants to get us independent of foreign sources of oil, and he is going to do everything he can to promote domestic energy production. He has talked a lot about coal country and strengthening coal country, and he wants to bring back good jobs for all Americans, all across the country.” Sarah Hawley |Daily Sentinel Speaking of the support from Tagg Romney, right, speaks with Meigs County residents Kay the opposing party his father has Hill and Bill Spaun during a campaign stop at the Wild Horse See ROMNEY ‌| A2 Cafe on Friday afternoon. Sheriff investigating jail inmate death Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of an inmate at the Gallia County Jail. The incident occurred early Saturday morning. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, William E. Mullins, Jr., 38, of Gallipolis, was found hanging in a cell at approximately 4:35 a.m. Saturday. Mullins had been arrested at approximately 2:30 a.m. earlier on charges of domestic violence by the Gallipolis Police Department. He was brought to the Gallia County Jail for booking and incarceration. Approximately two hours later, the on-duty jail staff was notified that there was an incident in the cell block. “As is common in these types of cases, Ohio BCI&I has been brought in to conduct an investigation into the incident,” added Browning. This case remains under investigation.

The chair is a physical symbol of the thousands of American service members who remain unaccounted for from all the wars and conflicts involving the Untied States. Each item on the table bears some significance, including the single rose in a vase that signifies the blood the soldier may have shed in the sacrifice of freedom, as well as the family and friends who await their return, and a slice of lemon — a reminder of their bitter fate. ‘Let us not forget’ Gallia County Vietnam Veterans of America recognize POW/MIA Day Amber Gillenwater National POW/ MIA Recognition Day is one of six days throughout the year when the black and white POW/ MIA flag must be flown above government buildings. The Gallia County Veterans who gathered for a ceremony in the Gallipolis City Park on Friday, saluted the flag as it was raised above the nearby Vietnam Veterans Memorial. mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — Next to Veterans Day or Memorial Day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day is a holiday that many Americans may not be aware of, but the third Friday of each September, veterans across the county pause to remember over 83,000 of their comrades that remain missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, Iraq and other conflicts. During a solemn ceremony organized by the Gallia County chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America and held in the Gallipolis City Park on Friday, a small group of community members gathered to recognize the sacrifices of the nation’s prisoners of war and those who are still missing in action and their families.

Late last year, Terry Greenwald-Hill and Amy Leach, former human resources and marketing directors, respectively, for PVH, filed the wrongful termination suit. In their complaint, Greenwald-Hill and Leach say they feel the “true reason” for their termination was “because they are lesbian, because Defendants perceived them to be lesbians and/or because they do not conform to traditional sex or gender stereotypes acceptable to Defendant Board Members.” As previously reported, the suit claims William Barker, vice-president for business development at PVH, and Thomas Schauer, PVH’s chief executive and financial officer were “involved in, conspired, aided and abetted and participated in the [Board of Trustees’] decision” regarding the termination of the two women. Along with Barker and Schauer, PVH’s Board of Trustees, of which there are 19 members, were initially named as a co-defendant in the suit. Since the lawsuit’s initial filing, a voluntary motion to dismiss at least some of the trustees was approved. Dismissed from the case were Alex Scott Barnitz, Mike Bartrum, Dorsel Keefer, William Knight, Clayton Faber, Stephen Rerych, M.D., James Rossi, William Tatterson and Lannes Williamson.

The garment ensembles include a full suit, with breathing apparatus, protective gloves and footwear, all of which must be worn to provide the necessary protection when working around hazardous materials. The gift of the 16 suits came as the result of a request from Middleport Police Officer Shannon Smith who made an appeal to Blauer for the protective clothing. He cited the increasing number of meth labs being operated in the area and the need for officers to have protection from destrucSee CLOTHING ‌| A3 Middleport Police Officer Ricky Smith, wearing one of the new protective ensembles, is pictured with Chief of Police Bruce Swift and Officer Shannon Smith of Middleport and Officer Chris Gill and Sheriff Joseph R.

Massachusetts was facing a $3 billion budget deficit. In Massachusetts, the Democrats were all saying the same thing — we got to raise taxes, that’s the only way out of this, we got to raise taxes,” said Romney. “My dad said no, instead of raising taxes, we’re going to cut taxes, and we’re going to cut spending,” said Romney. “He cut taxes 19 times while he was there and left the state with a $2 billion surplus.” “Whether it was Bain, the Olympics or Massachusetts, he has always done the same thing,” Romney noted. “He has come into trouble situations, turned them around and made them better. I think he’s going to do the same thing as President.” “He believes that with a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of hard work you can “We need to win Ohio, we are counting on Ohio to help us win the Presidency, and southeast Ohio is an important part of that. We expect to do very well here, and we are hopeful that people will come out and vote for us.” — Tagg Romney son of Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney do hard things, and there is no challenge too great to be overcome,” Romney said of his father. “Whenever the tough stuff happens, he faced it head on, and he rolled up his sleeves and got to work and fixed it. Some problems are tougher than others; the problems we are facing right now in this country are big.” Romney thanked all those in attendance for taking time out of their schedules “to hear a son brag about his father.” Romney was campaigning in Ohio for two days before moving on to West Virginia, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania. Of the busy campaign season, Romney added his wife told him, “You know there is a lot you can do for our kids, but there is nothing you can do that would be more important to their future than getting your dad elected.” Tagg Romney is the father of six, ranging in age from his daughter, 17, to four month old twin boys. He joked that he had done something his father had not, as he has five boys and a girl. (Mitt Romney has five sons). “I feel so lucky to have been blessed with the parents I was,” said Romney. “They are good people. In addition to doing good things as President, they will be a great President and a great First Lady. They will be people we can be proud of.” Romney concluded by emphasizing the importance of getting everyone out to vote on election day, and working together to campaign for his father. “Lets go win this thing together,” he said. “We need to win Ohio, we are counting on Ohio to help us win the Presidency, and southeast Ohio is an important part of that,” said Romney speaking exclusively to The Daily Sentinel. “We signifies the thousands of Americans who remain unaccounted for from all the wars and conflicts involving the United States. Commander William Mangus of the VFW Post #4464 of Gallipolis served as the speaker during the ceremony and provided the crowd with a brief history of the treatment of prisoners of war since World War I and the expense the United States now takes to recover those individuals who still remain missing. According to Mangus, possibly the most significant time period that ex- ists in this history of POW/ MIAs is the Vietnam War. “The Vietnam War is significant because it established the promise that all possible measures would be taken to recover the POWs and MIAs and their remains or to provide explanation if this is not possible,” Mangus said. “The POW/MIA bracelet, the POW/MIA table and flag become symbols [during this period] of the fullest possible accounting of our comrades.” Mangus also honored known local WWII prisoners of war, as well soldiers of Gallia County who re- main missing in action from World War II. The following is the list of names read by Mangus: • 1st Lt. Justin Daily, a bombardier on a B-24, was shot down on April 16, 1944. • Sgt. Silas Hamilton, 179th Infantry Regiment, Company D, was captured on February 11, 1944, and escaped on February 17, 1944. • Sgt. John J. Jeffers, a flight engineer on a B-17, was released as a POW on May 2, 1945. • Pvt. Robert O. Wiseman, “Big Red One” (1st Infantry Division), was captured on November 30, 1944, and was released in May 1945. • Sgt. William F. Betz, 15th Air Force Division, 376th Bomber Group, 512th Squadron, was a ball turret gunner on a B-24 Liberator and was captured on July 3, 1944, and released on September 13, 1944. • 2nd Lt. William W. Lambert, 8th Air Force Division of the U.S. Army Air Corps, 26th Bomber Group, was a bombardier on a B-17 Flying Fortress and was shot down on December 21, 1943. • Albert Monroe Sheets, 36th Infantry Division, was a POW for 22 months. • PFC Dingus Banks, 28th Division, 110th Infantry, Company A, was captured on November 12, 1944, and released on May 5, 1945. Mangus also read, during his presentation, a list of Gallia County’s fallen heroes of the Vietnam War, they are: Russell Hamilton, John O. Finnicum, Charles Neal, Wendell Hickman, Russell Blanton, Archie Hayman, Paul Yost, Cecil Matthew, Jr., Leslie Brucker, Roger Hawley, Fred Mooney, Albert Lee, Kevin Griffin and Richard Criner. “Let us not forget what this day represents,” Mangus said. Also to speak during the ceremony was the Rev. John Jackson who provided a closing prayer. Serving as master of ceremonies was Jim Cozza, who represented Gallia County Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 709. He provided a closing statement for the event. “This is a lot of think about and a lot to digest. It’s very serious business, and we pray that the government continues to search for those who are missing or may be prisoners of war so those families who have lived years and years with not knowing can have some closure and finally have some peace,” Cozza said. The following information concerning POW/MIAs is provided by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Prisoner of War/ Missing Personnel Office (DPMO): A total 73,681 soldiers remain unaccounted for from WWII. A total of 16 million Americans served in WWII and, of those, more than 400,000 died during the war. At the end if the war in 1945, 79,000 Americans were unaccounted for, including those buried with honor as unknowns, offi- Sarah Hawley |Daily Sentinel Tagg Romney speaks with members of the Martindale family during Friday’s campaign event at the Wild Horse Cafe in Pomeroy. expect to do very well here, and we are hopeful that people will come out and vote for us.” Romney added that Ohio will see a lot of the Romney family in the coming weeks, with the presidential nominee, his running mate and four of the five Romney sons planning to make stops in the state.

A total of 7,946 Americans remain unaccounted for from the Korean War. While some remains have been returned to the United States since the conflict from 1950-1953, the U.S. government continues to pursue opportunities to gain access to sites within North Korea and South Korea to uncover the remaining Americans who are unaccounted for from that conflict. Since 1973, the remains of more than 900 Americans killed in the Vietnam War have been identified and returned to their families for burial, and, while joint field activities between the U.S., Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia continue in an effort to recover the missing Americans, a total of 1,655 Americans are still unaccounted for from that conflict. The Cold War era left a total of 126 service members unaccounted for. These service personnel worked to contain the threat of communist expansion and collected intelligence on the Soviet Bloc, the People’s Republic of China and North Korea during the Cold War. A total of six American remain missing from what is known as the Iraq Theater — the most recent conflicts involving the United States. One American soldier remains missing from an operation known as El Dorado Canyon of 1986, while two service personnel were lost during Operation Desert Storm of 1991. Three department of defense contractors have never been recovered after they were lost during Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2003-2010. According to the DPMO, so far this year, the remains of 49 service members who were once missing have been recovered.

Schauer’s statement ends with: “My decision to terminate Terry Greenwald-Hill and Amy Leach was not based upon their gender or any perception regarding their sexual orientation. I did not have any knowledge or belief regarding Ms. GreenwaldHill’s sexual orientation, nor did I care. I consid- based on sex — including discrimination based on sexual orientation, as well as discrimination based on negative sex or gender stereotypes. The initial complaint also stated the two women are asking for an award of damages including front pay and back pay, as well as compensatory damages for emotional distress, an award of punitive damages and reinstatement to their jobs at PVH. Friday, Sept. 28 Lawsuit lawsuit are now Pleasant Valley Hospital, Inc., Pleasant Valley Board of Trustees Peter Allinder, Annette Boyles, Charles Lanham, Mario Liberatore, Jack Buxton, O.D., Randall Hawkins, M.D., C. Dallas Kayser, Michael Lieving, James Lockhart, D.D.S., R. Michael Shaw as well as Barker and Schauer. The case has been assigned to David W. Nibert, chief judge of the fifth judicial circuit court which includes Mason County. Earlier this month, Nibert responded to counsel for Greenwald-Hill and Leach who asked the court to summarize the potential conflict it may have in presiding over the case as it relates to the trustees of PVH. Of the remaining co-defendants, Nibert wrote he would not feel comfortable presiding over the case if Kayser, Lieving or Shaw remain defendants in any capacity other than a representative capacity. “In other words,” Nibert wrote, “if the plaintiffs are proceeding against any of those three individuals for personal liability, I would not preside over the case.” Nibert elaborated, saying Kayser was a former brother-in-law and father of Nibert’s nephew. Lieving is Nibert’s current brother-in-law. Shaw is an attorney practicing before the bar of the fifth judicial circuit court. Also earlier this month, an order was filed stating Greenwald-Hill and Leach agreed not to seek monetary relief from Barker and Hawkins, but to only proceed as against Barker and Hawkins for injunctive relief. The order says, “Based upon such agreement and stipulation, the ‘Motion to Enforce Bankruptcy Stay’ filed on behalf of Barker and Hawkins is moot.” This meant the court ordered all claims for monetary relief against Barker and Hawkins were dismissed. It is further ordered Greenwald-Hill and Leach can proceed against Barker and Hawkins for equitable relief only. Also in the case filings from earlier this year is a notarized affidavit from Schauer in which he states on March 18, 2011, upon his directive as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Greenwald-Hill and Leach were terminated as employees at PVH, based upon his belief that their terminations were in the best interests of the hospital. Schauer states the decision to fire the women was his and his alone. “I did not discuss my decision to terminate Plaintiffs with any member of the Board of Trustees either before or after Plaintiffs were terminated. I recall that I advised the Board that following an investigation, I terminated some employees. I do not recall mentioning Plaintiffs by name to the Board or any Board member asking me which individuals terminated.” This affidavit also states under the corporate bylaws of PVH, the only employees the Board of Trustees have the authority to hire and fire ered Amy Leach a friend and had met her partner several times.” Greenwald-Hill and Leach have alleged a double standard of misconduct by PVH male employees and certain male board members which did not result in the termination of these employees or board members. Greenwald-Hill and Leach claim that no misconduct or lesser misconduct by the plaintiffs resulted in their termination. Their initial complaint goes on to state: “Holding Plaintiffs to a standard of conduct different from those of the Defendants’ male employees and certain male Board Members is discriminatory against Plaintiffs based upon their gender, female.” The complaint alleges the termination of the two women is in violation of the West Virginia Human Rights Act which prohibits against discrimination Is the Economy Jeopardizing Your Health?

Reed’s last Op-Ed column comes to light This time last fall, my friend and fellow writer, Brian J. Reed, was facing a major heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Brian dealt with heart disease for several years, though he continued working as a reporter at The Daily Sentinel in Pomeroy, Ohio, right up until his untimely death last November at the age of 44. In the last few weeks of Brian’s life, he was working on his last Op-Ed piece which has only recently come to light and into my possession. When I first read it, I felt like I had my friend back for a moment, and I hope others who knew and loved him feel the same. I suppose it doesn’t matter if you knew Brian or not when reading his last piece. It doesn’t matter because we all know life doesn’t always work out as we plan, but the hope that it will keeps us moving forward. Peace be with you, BJR. Beth Sergent is a staff writer at the Point Pleasant Register and formerly worked alongside Reed at The Daily Sentinel. ··· ‘Invincible Summer’ Albert Camus wrote that in the depths of winter he finally learned there lay within him an “invincible summer.” Last June or July, I scribbled that — my favorite quotation — on a scrap of paper and stuck it on the wall above my desk. In the bright and hopeful days of last Reed summer, it reminded me of how happy I was in that season. As fall arrived and I grieved the end of yet another memorable and happy summer, I lost the significance of that quotation. Last long winter, I glanced at it from time to time and smiled, but in the cold days it didn’t, ironically, ring as true. For me, this summer we bid farewell to has brought about changes, disappointments, illness. It didn’t shimmer for me like the last one, or so many others before it. As often as not, July felt like January in my world. As this summer turns to autumn, I face frightening uncertainties. The quotation is still on the wall, and I’m beginning to understand why I put it there. It was for the same reason I made certain changes, why I uncharacteristically pursued unlikely new friendships just because they seemed right, why I worked harder to be myself, but kinder, and to forgive more. It was to prepare for what was ahead a year later. And here I am. We all have our stark winters and for your writer, this summer has been one. But I remind myself today that regardless of what the calendar says, another brilliant and invincible summer is just days away. Brian J. Reed was a staff writer for The Daily Sentinel and Sunday Times-Sentinel. He was a native of Reedsville, Ohio, and lived in the Pomeroy-Middleport area. Reader: Christians should not support same-sex marriage I am writing in reference the article in the September 12 issue of Gallipolis Daily Tribune: “Why Does Marriage Matter So Much?” by Mary Jo Kilroy. She wrote correctly on the beauty of the wedding ceremony and on marriage itself. However she seemed to have succumbed to pressure of the homosexual community. I want to state up front that I do not agree with the practice of homosexuality. I also want it known from the outset that on a personal basis, we should not mistreat those who do. As persons, they deserve the same respect as all others and that I expect from others. I am not a “homophobe” (a made up word to put people like me on the defense). However, because some choose to practice homosexuality does not mean that the whole of society must endorse, approve, nor change civil lawsbecause of their choices. We all have the liberty to live as we please, but we do not have the privilege of having the State of Ohio alter its laws to mold to our choices. If a couple of males or a couple of females decide to cohabitate and after a number of years decide to call it “marriage,” the people of the State of Ohio should not then enact a law calling it such. If they chose to call their situation a marriage that doesn’t affect the rest of the state. The whole population should not write a law approving it. Ms. Kilroy cites the fact that some states have caved in and due to the nature of politics some officials and the President have endorsed same sex marriages as a reason for the State of Ohio to do the same. The discussion should go much deeper than that. For example, what does nature teach us? Two men or two women can’t reproduce, but in order to have it appear as a normal relationship, they adopt a child (created by one male and one female). That may give it the appearance of a normal marriage, but they would have to have the help of a natural relationship to produce that child. In addition, that child must grow up not knowing father and mother role models, and the State of Ohio, through civil law, would be party to that situation all because two same sex individuals chose to cohabitate. This may not seem to be a problem with Ms. Kilroy, but well over 70 percent of the population in the State of Ohio claim Christianity as their faith. While some may be nominal Christians, they still claim the Bible as their guild. She is saying to them that they should vote for a law or politicians that support what their faith calls sin. I do not wish to be mean spirited but do want to defend my belief that God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve, and that was by creative design. If someone wishes to practice drug use, they have the liberty to do so, but we don’t need to change civil law to support and endorse it. If some want to practice homosexuality and lesbianism they have that liberty also, but we don’t need to change a law in Ohio to encourage it. I know that Ms. Kilroy wants to be “politically correct” because she has served as representative in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District. I also know she is serving with a group called the Freedom Ohio campaign for marriage equality (pushing same sex marriage) which may be why she submitted her article. My motive is not to be “politically correct,” nor to push some new organization.

I am not defending any new organization, but I am writing in support of Biblical truth which has served well for over 2,000 years helping millions escape sin and giving a defense against those who would try to lower its standards. Using the words “love,” “marriage,” and “companionship” in her article are touching, but they are used to sell an idea that is wrong even if practiced by some. In that Book I mentioned, we are told to watch out for those who “call evil good and good evil.” The bottom line is: Christians should not sign the petition to support same sex marriage. Denny Coburn Barnabas Ministries Gallipolis, Ohio Pharmacy student seeks support for diabetes association Dear community, businesses and friends, My name is Lauren Durst. I am a 23-yearold citizen of Mason, W.Va. and a graduate student at the University of Charleston School of Pharmacy. I am also a Type 1 Diabetic. Three days after my eighth birthday my world was changed forever. I was diagnosed with a chronic disease that is still a challenge to manage after 15 years. Science and technology has greatly improved my quality of life, and I now regulate my diabetes using continuous insulin pump therapy and a blood glucose sensor that monitors my blood sugar 24 hours a day. For ten years, I led a team in the annual Walk for Diabetes in Huntington, W.Va. Through support from friends, family and members of my community, I raised almost $50,000 for research and education for the American Diabetes Association. This disease affects a large percentage of our country and is one of the leading causes of death. As students of the University of Charleston School of Pharmacy, my classmates and I have decided to participate in the Walk for Diabetes this year in an attempt to find a cure for diabetes. As future pharmacists, we realize the impact that diabetes and other illnesses have on our community, economy and loved ones. Through funding for research and education, the quality of life for diabetic patients has greatly improved over the years. Patients can receive free education and attend free support group meetings through the American Diabetes Association. Programs such as these offer wonderful opportunities for patients and their families when learning to live with diabetes. Along with my classmates, I would like to ask your support in our attempt to raise money for the American Diabetes Association and people like me all over the country. The search for a cure gets closer with every dollar donated. As a class, we would like to be able to help our future patients by taking part in this opportunity. We will be taking donations through September 30 of this year, and we have set a goal of $4,000. Thank you very much for your consideration and we hope you can help take part in supporting our cause. Please make checks payable to the American Diabetes Association. Sincerely, Lauren Lynnette Durst 2013 Doctorate of Pharmacy Candidate P.O.

Reader: Land owners beware Dear Editor, Recently, my property has been vandalized with raw sewage. Someone drove onto my private property in the open fields and dumped massive amounts of sewage material. I am writing this letter to warn all other land owners to be extra observant and aware of the sick individual who is doing this. This is the second time my property has been trespassed on and vandalized. I do have a partial license plate and a description of the vehicle, due to video surveillance, but a positive ID has not yet been made. This letter is to ask and warn all decent, honest land owners of the community to pay a little extra attention to your surroundings, and be aware of any illegal activity, including thefts — of which there is a growing increase in our area — and report all violations to the appropriate authorities. Joann Haskins Georges Creek Road Gallipolis, Ohio Perennial Cat Shelter reorganizes, seeks support Dear Editor, Several months ago, I had the good fortune to be introduced to a Gallia County charitable organization known as The Perennial Cat, Inc. I often speak to members of the community about this organization, and I’ve learned two things. The community deeply appreciates this group, but seldom hears about our activities. As a volunteer, board member and officer, I would like to share the most current information. Our past president and manager, Jackie Keatley, retired on December 31, 2011. Jackie had been a strong leader, and her departure left a void that caused us to close briefly for renovation and re-organization. As we moved through the process, I identified four groups of superstars everyone should know about. The first group is the cats. We provide a temporary home to adoptable cats, and we strive to provide an environment in which they remain happy and healthy. Second is our local group of veterinarians. I can’t imagine a more dedicated and professional group than those Doctors of Veterinary Medicine who practice in and around Gallia County and help care for our cats. Third are our members and sponsors. Some have already renewed for 2013, and our mailing hasn’t even gone out yet. Last, but not least, is our volunteers. What a fantastic bunch of individuals! While our core group is strong, we could use a little more help. If you are a cat person who can’t have a pet at home due to landlords, family members’ allergies or other reasons, this is your perfect opportunity. If you can commit one-two hours per week to feed, water, pet and play with our feline friends, please visit our website at www.perennialcatinc.com or call 740-645-7275. Our shelter is located on State Route 325 south of Rio Grande. We plan to re-open on or around October 1, 2012. The Perennial Cat, Inc. is an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity and a member of the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce. Thank you, W.

Looking for yield Stan Evans Registered Investment Advisor Many investors use exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to get well-diversified, low-cost access to broad indexes of stocks or bonds, in order to fill gaps in their portfolios or take advantage of shorter-term market opportunities. ETFs can also be useful to investors seeking a stream of income. Given the low yields on so many investments at the moment, income-focused investors may want to consider every tool at their disposal to generate cash flow, and ETFs are a dynamic tool. Fixed-income ETFs When most investors think about income investments, they think about bonds or CD’s. Most bonds have a coupon, which means that they will distribute interest payments to their holders on a regular basis (often twice a year). The downside of holding individual bonds, especially corporate bonds, is the risk of default—the company that issued the bond might not be able to pay it back. One way to mitigate this risk is diversification—spreading your assets among a lot of different bond issuers. ETFs excel at diversification, because when you own an ETF you own a fractional share of a pool containing lots of different securities. It’s important to keep in mind that the value of a bond ETF will go up and down with the value of the underlying bonds in the portfolio, and it does not have a fixed maturity date like individual bonds do. As bonds in the portfolio mature, the ETF manager will reinvest the proceeds into other bonds. The exception is target maturity date bond ETFs, where the fund will close and liquidate on a set date (the year the underlying bonds all mature).

When most investors think about income investments, they think about bonds (the primary example of a fixedincome instrument). Most bonds have a coupon, which means that they will distribute interest payments to their holders on a regular basis (often twice a year).

The exception is target maturity date bond ETFs, where the fund will close and liquidate on a set date (the year the underlying bonds all mature). Below are various types of fixed-income ETFs you might consider for your income-focused portfolio. • Treasury bond ETFs. Yields on Treasury bonds are near historic lows at the moment, making these ETFs less attractive for income-sensitive investors. However, the essentially nonexistent risk of default on Treasury bonds still makes them an important piece of a portfolio. • Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) ETFs. TIPS pay low coupons, but their face values go up as inflation increases. The low coupons make them less attractive for most income-focused investors, but those concerned about inflation may still want to consider TIPS. • Investment-grade corporate bond ETFs. These funds invest in bonds issued by companies with good credit ratings, which are seen as unlikely to default. Investment-grade corporates are somewhat riskier than Treasury bonds, but they generally pay higher interest. • Municipal bond ETFs. If you are in a high tax bracket and you’re investing in a taxable account, be sure to consider municipal bond ETFs. These funds produce income that is generally free from federal income tax and even, in some cases, free from state income tax. If you expect to be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), take a look at funds that track AMT-free indexes. Note that the yields on municipal bonds tend to be lower than taxable bonds, but the tax benefits may make them more attractive on an after-tax basis.

Roush paced a trio of White Falcon running backs who topped the 100 yard rushing mark for the second week in a row. Zach Wamsley scored a pair of touchdowns while running for 169 yards while quarterback Trenton Gibbs ran for one score and threw for another in addition to collecting 158 rushing yards on the night. The two teams combined for 14 touchdowns and 995 yards in total offense during the nearly three hour affair. Wahama pounded the Wildcat defense for 576 yards on the ground and another 75 yards through the airways for a net total of 651 offensive yards in the win. Coach Ed Cromley’s White Falcons improved to 5-0 overall on the season while pushing its TVC Hocking Division record to 4-0 with Waterford falling to 1-4 overall and 1-3 inside league play. Roush recorded scoring runs of 7, 36 and 55 yards in addition to returning a Wildcat kickoff 79 yards for another six points. The junior speedster also came through with three point after conversions. Wamsley scored twice on the evening with a pair of long first period touchdown gallops. The punishing senior running back rambled 76 and 67 yards during a four minute span of the opening canto to help the White Falcons jump out to a quick 22-0 advantage. Gibbs also enjoyed another successful evening by scoring twice on runs of 7 and 60 yards in addition to tossing a 13 yard TD pass to Wyatt Zuspan to begin the Falcons huge offensive showing. Gibbs added a two-point conversion run as well for the local eleven. Waterford, although the Wildcats were never really in serious contention throughout the night, scored 35 points over the final 36 minutes and finished with 344 yards in total offense.

Eastern rolls past Rebels, 62-6 Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — If the E on the sides of their helmets didn’t stand for Eastern, the Eagles could have told people Friday night that it actually meant efficient. Eastern needed just 31 offensive plays to muster 62 points by the end of third quarter en route to a 62-6 thumping of visiting South Gallia in a Week 5 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at East Shade River Stadium in Meigs County. The host Eagles (3-2, 3-1 TVC Hocking) simply dominated the winless Rebels (0-5, 0-4) throughout the course of the evening, as the Green and White needed just nine offensive plays in the first quarter to build a 28-0 advantage. EHS added two more touchdowns in the second canto for a 42-0 halftime cushion, then tacked on 20 more points in the third stanza for an impressive 62-0 edge headed into the finale. SGHS — which mustered only 90 yards of total offense in the setback — ended its scoring drought midway through the fourth, as Brandon Campbell capped an eight-play, 69-yard scoring drive at the 7:20 mark with a 13-yard run to paydirt. All but 24 of the Rebels’ total yardage came in the fourth quarter. Eastern — which has now won two straight — amassed 533 yards of total offense, including 491 of those on the ground. The Eagles finished plus-2 in turnover differential and scored on nine of their 11 offensive possessions — and the only drives that ended without points were a pair of kneel-downs to conclude each half. The Eagles outgained the guests by a sizable 27513 margin in the first half alone, and Eastern needed just 21 offensive plays from scrimmage to reach that mark en route to a 42-point halftime lead. Ethan Nottingham started the onslaught with an 11-yard run at the 9:51 mark, capping a three-play, 59-yard drive for the early 7-0 edge. Joey Scowden followed with a 26-yard scamper at the 6:46 mark, ending a two-play, 26-yard drive for a 14-0 lead. Nottingham added his second rushing TD of the night on a 31-yard jaunt at the 3:50 mark, the lone play of the Eagles’ third drive en route to a 20-point advantage. South Gallia was facing a fourth-and-9 at its own nine and decided to punt, but the snap flew over Landon Hutchinson’s head before he could get a hand on it. Hutchinson ultimately fell on the ball nine yards deep in the endzone, which resulted in a safety at the 2:16 mark of the first for a 22-0 contest. After the free kick, Eastern needed just three plays to cover 43 yards for its fourth TD of the night — a 30-yard run to paydirt by Scowden at the 1:40 mark for a 28-0 advantage. Alex Amos hauled in a pair of touchdown passes from Scowden in the second canto, which turned the game into a 42-0 edge for the hosts at halftime. Amos capped a six-play, 48yard drive at the 9:51 mark on a 13-yard TD grab, then added a three-yard TD reception with 3:50 left in the first half to end a five-play, 68-yard drive.

The Gallia Academy football team racked up 455 total yards en route to a 40-12 victory over the visiting Vinton County Vikings, in a non-conference match up at Memorial Field. Gallia Academy (3-2) set up shop at its own 37 yard line to begin the game and showed a nice balance of the running and the passing game as the offense marched down the field. On third and goal from the six yard line quarterback Wade Jarrell found Reid Eastman in the back left corner of the end zone for six points, capping off the nine play drive.

WINFIELD, W.Va. — Sometimes, teams just refuse to lose, and that continues to be the story of the 2012 Point Pleasant Big Blacks. The Big Blacks pulled out an improbable 18-13 road win over the Winfield Generals, just two weeks after pulling off another late win over Lewis County. “Our kids just don’t like to lose,” said Head Coach Dave Darst. “We were in the same situation a few weeks ago when a few kids stepped up and made some big plays. We had the same thing happen tonight.” The Big Blacks – now 4-0 on the season – extend their regular season winning streak to 15 games in a row, dating back to the 2010 season. Although the go-ahead score was not as late in the game as a few weeks ago, the dramatics were still there. Winfield had taken the lead at the 5:38 mark in the 4th quarter to go ahead 13-12. It didn’t take long for the Black and Red to respond. Sophomore quarterback Aden Yates found senior Anthony Perry for a big catch that put the Big Blacks deep into Winfield territory. One play later, it was the quarterback keeping it for himself, and running 28 yards to the endzone with 4:02 left in the game. Another key defensive stand for the Big Blacks happened on the ensuing drive and it was all over at that point. Yates – making the 4th start of his career – managed another 100+ yard passing performance, his fourth in a row. He was 9/10 for 153 yards – his highest yardage total of the season. The running game did not produce a 100 yard rusher but had two solid per- Special to OVP formances from junior Teran Barnitz and senior Tylun Campbell. Barnitz had 14 rushes for 56 yards and Campbell had 10 rushes for 41 yards. Yates had 35 yards on 11 carries, including two scores. Junior Chase Walton, back from injury, had 3 carries for 27 yards but did not play in the second half. Marquez Griffin had 6 carries for 23 yards and a touchdown. Anthony Perry had 2 rushes for 4 yards as well. The big receiver on the night was Perry with 2 catches for 65 yards. Campbell had 3 grabs for 33 yards, Walton 2 for 28 yards, and Barnitz 2 for 27 yards. Defensively, the Big Blacks were anchored by senior All-State noseguard Conner Templeton, who had a big night rushing the quarterback and putting pressure on the Winfield interior linemen. Other key contributors to the defensive effort included senior Andrew Williamson, junior Teran Barnitz, senior Anthony Perry, senior Marquez Griffin, and others. The Big Blacks put up the first score of the game at the :21 mark of the 1st quarter when Yates called his own number and went in for the score. The Colin Peal kick was blocked, giving Point the early lead. Winfield stormed back on their next drive with some big passing plays and finally Toby Show found Chris Turner for a 20 yard strike. The extra point was good, giving Winfield the lead at the 9:53 mark in the second quarter. The score would remain the same until the 4th quarter when Marquez Griffin scored from 14 yards out with 11:54 left in the game. The two-point conversion was no good.

After a three yard set back GAHS quarterback Jarrell rolled right out of the pocket and completed a long pass to tight end Seth Atkins, who broke through several tackles and into the end zone for six points.

VCHS was driving down the field on its next possession but Long threw his third interception of the game, this time in the end zone, and the hosts took over at the 20 yard line.

I don’t get caught up with who’s in the stands or who’s not in the stands. None of that stuff really matters.” Spiller’s strong start has been significant. With 292 yards in two games, he leads the league in rushing and he’s averaging an eye-popping 10.1 yards per carry. Only the magnificent Brown’s 11.3 yard average after two games in 1963 is better among players with at least 25 attempts. Spiller also has a higher per carry average (5.4 yards) than any player in Buffalo’s history, ahead of another Hall of Famer, O.J. Simpson. Not bad for a guy who was backing up Fred Jackson last season. “It’s a humbling experience to be mentioned with those two guys,” Spiller said of his connection to Brown and Simpson. “Those are two of the greatest running backs to ever play the game. But I can’t dwell on the success we’ve had because it’s a long season. Our main goal is to make the playoffs.” That’s big talk from the Bills, once perennial postseason performers who haven’t been to the playoffs in 12 years, the league’s longest active drought. But an impressive 35-17 win at home over Kansas City last week has renewed hope this could be a bounce-back season for Buffalo, which went 6-10 in 2011. However, before the Bills can start dreaming of snow-covered playoff games at home, they’d better solve their issues on the road. Buffalo has dropped eight straight away games, a string that dates back to last season’s opener at Kansas City. “That is not a good stat,” said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. “It is obviously too long, too many games in there that we have lost on the road. I do not know if you can pin it on one thing. It is always easier playing at home, tougher going to play an opponent at their place having to handle the crowd noise, the distractions and everything that goes with it “That’s something which hopefully we break that trend in a hurry because if you do not win games on the road, then you are not going to be very successful.” The Browns need a win anywhere they can get one. Cleveland’s lost eight straight games dating to last season, and are in jeopardy of dropping to 0-3. With upcoming road games at Baltimore and the New York Giants, the sense of urgency could be reaching the crisis stage for coach Pat Shurmur, whose future hinges on his club making major improvements in his second seasons. With the Browns about to be taken over by new owner Jimmy Haslam III, Shurmur may need a few wins to bump up his resume. “It’s important we win,” Shurmur said. “We’ve got to win. We all understand the urgency of that and regardless of what’s happened to this point, there are other teams in this league that are in our situation that are fighting to get their first victory in Week 3. That’s where the coaches and players are mentally, physically, emotionally — doing what you can to get a victory in Week 3.” There were encouraging signs for the Browns last week. Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden recovered from a four-interception debut by passing for 322 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-27 loss at Cincinnati. Although the 28-year-old’s impressive outing didn’t lead to a victory, it did boost Weeden’s confidence and gave the Browns hope that better days are ahead. Weeden knows the only progress that matters shows up in the win column. “You don’t want to put yourself in a hole where you’re digging yourself out,” Weeden said. “Even though this isn’t a conference game, it’s still nice to get on a right track. You’ve got to kind of build some momentum before we play Baltimore on a short week. You want to win them all, but playing right at the right time is what’s most important in this league. We’ve got to start winning games. That’s all there is to it, and what better week to start than this week.” For Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson, Sunday’s game will be a chance to impress Brown, who labeled him as “ordinary” leading into April’s draft. He was anything but ordinary against the Bengals, rushing for 109 yards and scoring two touchdowns, one of them on a 23-yard reception on which several Cincinnati players seemed afraid to hit him. “They don’t want to tackle him,” Browns wide receiver Greg Little said. It was the same way for Brown, Cleveland’s franchise rushing leader and the greatest Brown of them all. Richardson can’t wait to show Brown he’s extraordinary. “Just going into the game and knowing he’s going to be there now, it raises the stakes up higher,” Richardson said. “It’s going to be an honor just to be on the same field as him. He’s going to be out there watching me and hopefully he’ll give me a few words of wisdom while I’m out there. So I can’t wait to meet him, and I can’t wait to play in front of him.” Shootout alert: Robert Griffin III, Redskins host Bengals, Dalton WASHINGTON (AP) — Robert Griffin III’s first two NFL games were shootouts. The way things are going, he should get used to it. The Washington Redskins are scoring and allowing 30-plus points per game, and they’re about to face a Cincinnati Bengals defense that’s been just as leaky. “I was under the impression in the NFL you could win games 14-7,” the reigning Heisman Trophy winner said. “But it’s whatever the game calls for. Sometimes the defense struggles; sometimes the offenses are clicking and you have shootouts. “It’s funny: 31-28 is a shootout in the NFL. In college, it’s a low-scoring game. I’m used to it.” Actually, the pros are emulating the colleges more and more, with NFL teams scoring at a record pace so far this season. Two of the culprits, from the defensive standpoint, are the Bengals (1-1) and Redskins (1-1), who have disappointed big-time after ranking in the top half of the league last season. “All we’ve got to do is hold up our end of the bargain,” Redskins defensive tackle Barry Cofield said. “The offense is playing great.” Washington’s defense was supposed to hold down the fort this year while Griffin learned his way, similar to how the Bengals defense carried its bit of extra weight in 2011 during Andy Dalton’s rookie season to help spur the team into the playoffs. But, right now, those players in stripes just don’t look the same. It seems as if the Bengals have crammed a season’s worth of bad defense into two weeks. They’ve already allowed 37 plays of 10 or more yards. “I think we’ve just got to settle down,” Bengals defensive lineman Domata Peko said. “It seems like everybody’s eyes have been too wide open, like a deer in the headlights.” Now they have to visit Washington on Sunday and contend with Griffin, a multidimensional threat like few others. He already has 124 yards rushing with two touchdowns on 20 carries, in addition to his three touchdown passes. “Obviously there’s a lot more to prepare for,” Bengals safety Jeromy Miles said. “You’ve got two different aspects, so you have to break them down separately and hope that everything you’re taught for each specific one, you go out there and execute to the best of the team’s ability.” The Redskins defense is on the Bengals’ heels for underperformance, allowing 34 plays of 10-plus yards. It has shown itself to be vulnerable whether playing man-to-man or zone, whether blitzing or staying back.

An additional 38 were registered as helpers and volunteers. As of Wednesday, a total of $22,164.76 had been raised through the ride, raffles, and donations. Riders are given a few additional days to turn in money raised, so that number could rise. A banner placed near the entrance to the field displayed the total amount of funds raised before this year, $145, 741.25. That total now stands at more that $167,000. A memory wall was also set up to remember those who helped with or took part in the trail ride over the years and have since passed on. Those honored on the memory wall were Larry Hoschar, Sherry Bailey, Shaker John Cain, Jo Joyce Frye and Butch Cornelius Phillips.

Lesser-known Emancipation document gets spotlight WASHINGTON (AP) — Issued 150 years ago this month, President Abraham Lincoln’s initial proclamation to free Southern slaves is enjoying a public showcase to match its increased profile among scholars. Lincoln released his lesserknown preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862 — 100 days before the final version. The first of the two documents has gained importance among historians as a turning point in the Civil War. Slavery and its abolition were once treated by historians as minor parts of the story behind the Civil War, but that began to change after the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, said historian Edward Ayers, president of the University of Richmond. Since then, the steps that led to emancipation have been recognized for their importance — with the Sept. 22 proclamation being a prime example. “All our thinking about this has undergone remarkable recasting over the last 50 years,” Ayers said. “People begin now with slavery as the fundamental fact and emancipation and less with union as being the sole focus of attention.” Commemorations began Monday with a national forum moderated by Ayers at the Smithsonian Institution. The discussion was broadcast to 100 schools, museums and libraries. The National Endowment for the Humanities also organized readings at the Lincoln Memorial. Meanwhile, the only surviving version of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in Lincoln’s handwriting will make an eight-city tour of New York state this fall. The official government copy from the National Archives will be shown beginning Saturday in New York City at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Other exhibits will feature copies of the final version in the months preceding the Jan. 1 anniversary of its issuing. The preliminary proclamation served as a warning that if the Confederacy did not end its “rebellion” against the United States and voluntarily abolish slavery, then Lincoln would order the slaves freed on the first day of 1863. Lincoln believed it was a way to use his military powers to push to end slavery. Lincoln drafted the preliminary proclamation over the summer of 1862 but held off on releasing it because of Union defeats. He felt there was enough of a victory when Confederate forces turned back after the Battle of Antietam in late August that he went ahead. There was once skepticism among historians about Lincoln’s deliberate approach. For example, neither version of the proclamation covered five slave-holding Union border states that were freed in separate federal actions. But Ayers says most scholars now view Lincoln as shrewd. “What we used to see in some ways as a kind of political calculation, we now recognize as a necessary political ability to get things done,” Ayers said. Slaves also had decided by the time Lincoln was drafting his proclamation in the summer of 1862 that they had a role to play in the war, said historian Thavolia Glymph of Duke University. They were flocking to Union soldiers to declare allegiance with the North. “The preliminary Emancipation Proclamation essentially confirms, affirms what the slaves have been saying all along — that you can’t win it without us,” Glymph said. “Lincoln agrees.” Even before the preliminary emancipation, Lincoln floated several ideas about how to end slavery. In 1861, he put out a plan for Delaware and other border states that would pay people to free slaves they owned, though it was never enacted. He also was studying ideas about encouraging slaves to return to Africa or Central America to separate the races, historian Eric Foner of Columbia University said. His declaration that slaves would be freed was a turning point in a long process, Foner said. “No one person or one moment is responsible for the end of slavery,” he said. The government issued miniature copies of the preliminary emancipation that were distributed widely to soldiers in the field. Some survive and have been traded by collectors. The official U.S. copy with Lincoln’s signature was a paper booklet held together with a ribbon. It’s in relatively good condition at the National Archives but is rarely shown. It has been handled less than the final proclamation, which has endured long-term exhibition and exposure to light in the past, said Catherine Nicholson, an archives conservator. In recent years, researchers visiting the National Archives have become increasingly interested in seeing records related to emancipation, from the federal government’s Freedman’s Bureau and pension records for U.S. Colored Troops, said archivist Reginald Washington. Views on the history and impact of emancipation continue to evolve, Ayers said, while at the same time many people still separate black history and white history. “What historians have shown us over the past 50 years is that these are all part of the same history,” Ayers said. “Listening to just one of those stories is like listening to half a conversation. You can’t understand what was going on.” Visitors recently to the National Mall on a recent day, though, generally didn’t know much about Lincoln’s initial warning on slavery. Ray Morrison, a 64-year-old architect from Irvine, Calif., said he was familiar with the final version of the document but not its precursor. “I do recall that it was a tactic to focus the Civil War, because there were some defeats, to make it not a war of rebellion but a moral issue,” he said of the Jan. 1 document. Daniel Smith, 21, a student at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, said he had only been taught about emancipation coming in January 1863. “Nobody really knows what caused Lincoln to do the emancipating, so this gives more insight that he was planning on doing this,” Smith said. “This is just more knowledge we should know about.” Cause Disfigured Spain fresco rides global fame From Page C1 MADRID (AP) — The image appears on T-shirts and cellphone covers, coffee mugs and wine labels. And the 80-year-old pensioner who just weeks ago was mortified by the global stir she created with her botched restoration of a fresco of Christ is now looking to get a piece of the action. The church painting in the town of Borja was for decades a little-known piece of religious art by a minor Spanish artist. Now that Cecilia Gimenez has disfigured it, it has found a new fate as an international icon — used to sell products around the world. Gimenez’s lawyers have begun investigating whether all the notoriety may be turned to profit, albeit with an aim to help charity. The fresco depicts Christ with a crown of thorns before crucifixion, in a style known as “Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man). It stood in peaceful obscurity in the Misericordia Church sanctuary since it was painted in 1930 — until Gimenez, a longtime devotee of the work, decided it needed to be rescued from flaking caused by the damp church air. Word of the artistic travesty spread across the world, and the solemn Ecce Homo quickly took on a less dignified identity: “Ecce annual tradition, drawing participants from around the region. Isabel Dill said in the past, riders have come to the event from several neighboring counties — some camping for the entire weekend. Debbie Lewis of Mason, W.Va. was the top money collector for the event, raising $1,588. Jim Davis of Syracuse collected the second most money with $1,545, and Jerry Smathers of Athens was third in funds raised with $1,530. Prizes were awarded to each of the top three money collectors. Several participants make the trail ride a weekend event, with camping and a backward trail ride on Sunday. Dill said approximately 15 camped on Thursday evening, with around 40-50 camping on Friday and Saturday. Participants in the ride were eligible to win one of the 155 door prizes donated for the event. A raffle for items, such as a western saddle, Aussie saddle, cowboy bench, cooler with two chairs, saddle bags, a quilt and a saddle stand also helped to raise funds for St. Jude. “All in all, we had a great weekend. The Lord has really blessed this ride and all the riders,” said Dill. “This ride was so successful because of all the family and friends that pitched in to help. We can’t thank them enough.” The family plans to continue with the event next year. For more information on Saddle Up for St. Jude, visit mysaddleupforstjude.org or stjude.org. Mono.” Behold the Monkey. Then something unexpected happened. The town morphed into a tourism destination for people who want to see the restoration. The crush has been so big that the Sancti Spiritus foundation that owns the church and sanctuary recently started charging admission: one euro per visitor. Meanwhile, Internet entrepreneurs have quickly moved in to cash in on the phenomenon, printing “Ecce Mono” on a seemingly endless range of products to sell online. Gimenez’s lawyers say she has no interest in a cut of what the foundation is charging people to see the fresco. But they are investigating possible copyright infringements of what she created. If she has rights, said lawyer Antonio Val Carreras Rivera, Gimenez could pursue payments from those using the image to sell products, although whatever she earns would go to charity. She’s most interested in funding groups that help people with congenital muscular dystrophy, because she has a son with the disorder. The Sancti Spiritus foundation is stuck in its own legal bind about what to do with the fresco. Should it restore the painting to its original state? Or leave Gimenez’s image on the church wall? Or try, as experts say is possible, to separate the two? Gimenez herself is thankful for the many messages of support she’s received from around the world, her lawyers said in a statement. And she “regrets and deplores that commercial brands are financially exploiting a situation that began in total good faith, and which should be restricted to the human level beyond business or commercial interests,” the statement said. The nonprofit Sancti Spiritus foundation plans to seek a second opinion from art experts on what to do about the painting, before getting the view of lawyers, said foundation president Francisco Miguel Arilla, who is also the mayor of Borja, population about 5,000. “Everyone wants to solve this, but no one knows the solution,” Arilla said. While Gimenez could end up with ownership of what she painted on top of the fresco, the foundation isn’t sure who owns the original. It’s either the foundation or the 16 grandchildren of the painter, Elias Garcia Martinez. And Martinez’s heirs live all across Spain, Arilla said. “This seems like it’s going to be a long process,” he said. �Sunday, September 23, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday, September 23, 2012 BLONDIE Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Comics ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY Mort Walker FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s zITS Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 24, 2012: This year tension builds with your professional and community activities.

Space shuttle Endeavour takes to California skies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Space shuttle Endeavour took off Friday morning on a sightseeing tour of California, the last aerial hurrah before retiring to a Los Angeles museum. Hitching a ride on top of a jumbo jet, the pair departed Edwards Air Force Base, 100 miles north of Los Angeles, circling the high desert that gave birth to the shuttle fleet and headed north toward Sacramento. Thousands of spectators jammed rooftop buildings and streets around the state Capitol for a glimpse as Endeavour soared overhead. School children squealed as the shuttle looped around a second time. Endeavour was headed for San Francisco Bay area and several Los Angelesarea landmarks including the Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood Sign and Disneyland. At the Griffith Observatory, overlooking the Hollywood Sign, throngs of people — many dressed in shorts and flip-flops with kids in tow — camped out on beach chairs and blankets on the lush lawns, waiting for a flyover later in Endeavor’s journey. The nearly 5-hour flyover will culminate with an afternoon landing at the Los Angeles International Airport for an arrival ceremony — then, in a few weeks, a slow-speed journey across town through neighborhoods to its final museum home. Since Endeavour will buzz by some of the Golden State’s most iconic sights, law enforcement and transportation authorities warned motorists not to “gawk and drive.” “We want people to take in this majestic show,” Los Angeles police Cmdr. Scott Kroeber said earlier this week. “But if you’re driving, please drive and don’t try to take in the show simultaneously.” Extra officers will be on duty along the freeways near the airport to make sure traffic flows smoothly as the shuttle zooms overhead. Endeavour returned to its birthplace Thursday after an emotional crosscountry ferry flight that made a special flyover of Tucson, Ariz., to honor its last commander, Mark Kelly, and his wife, former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords, who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head, was “hooting and hollering” as Endeavour looped around her hometown, according to her former aide C.J. Karamargin. NASA’s shuttle fleet, which retired last year after three decades of flight, was assembled in Palmdale near Edwards Air Force Base. The military outpost 100 miles north of Los Angeles served as the original shuttle landing strip and remained a backup site in case of stormy weather at Cape Canaveral, Fla. “We’re so excited to be welcoming Endeavour home in grand style with these flyovers,” Jeffrey Rudolph, president of the California Science Center, said earlier this week. The youngest shuttle, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which blew up during liftoff in 1986. NASA lost another shuttle, Columbia, in 2003 when it disintegrated during re-en- try. Fourteen astronauts were killed. During 25 missions, Endeavour spent 299 days in space and orbited Earth nearly 4,700 times, racking up 123 million miles. On its maiden flight in 1992, a trio of spacewalking astronauts grabbed a stranded communications satellite in for repair. It also flew the first repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope to fix a faulty mirror. But most of its flights ferried cargo and equipment to the International Space Station, which is near completion. Under White House orders to explore beyond low-Earth orbit, NASA is hitching rides on Russian rockets to the orbiting laboratory until private companies can provide regular service. Endeavour is the second of three remaining shuttles to head to its retirement home. In April, Discovery arrived at the Smithsonian Institution’s hangar in Virginia. Atlantis, which closed out the shuttle program, will stay in Florida where it will be towed a short distance to the Kennedy Space Center’s visitor center in the fall. Endeavour will remain at an airport hangar for several weeks as crews ready the shuttle for its own road trip. Unlike Atlantis, it will creep through city streets to the California Science Center near downtown. Some 400 trees will be cleared along the 12-mile route to make room, a move that has riled some residents in affected neighborhoods. Museum officials have pledged to replant double the number of chopped trees. Mirren to reprise Oscar-winning royal role LONDON (AP) — Helen Mirren is returning to the regal role of Queen Elizabeth II in a new play about the monarch’s relationship with British prime ministers. The actress won an Academy Award in 2007 for her performance as the British monarch in “The Queen,” a drama about the aftermath of the death of Princess Diana. Mirren won praise for her turn as a monarch whose stiff upper lip hides a beating heart. She will play the queen again in “The Audience,” a play by Peter Morgan, who wrote “The Queen” and “Frost/Nixon.” The play imagines private meetings between the queen and the prime ministers of her 60year reign, from Winston Churchill to David Cameron. Directed by Stephen Daldry (“Billy Elliot”), the play opens at London’s Gielgud Theatre in February. Randy Newman writes new satirical, political song NEW YORK (AP) — Randy Newman is weighing in on the presidential election, and he’s playing the race card through a song he wrote called “I’m Dreaming.” The piano tune features the refrain: “I’m dreaming of a white president.” It is full of satirical, sarcastic — and signature — Newman anecdotes about someone who votes for the president because he is white. Newman, who is white, is openly supporting President Barack Obama. He says he wants the public to find comedic relief in the song, but to also know he’s serious about his thoughts that racism is well and alive in the world — and in the current presidential race. He called racism “the great issue of this country.” “I felt that that sentiment exists in the country,” Newman said in an interview Monday. “I don’t know how many people you can get to admit it. I think maybe zero.” The song will be released as a free download Tuesday and Newman is en- couraging listeners to donate to the United Negro College Fund. Newman, 68, has won multiple Academy Awards, Grammys and Emmys for composing music for movies such as “Cars,” ”Monsters, Inc.,” the “Toy Story” franchise and the TV series “Monk.” He often writes songs from the perspective of a character not like himself. “Short People,” the 1977 No. 2 Billboard hit, attacked short people. And “Sail Away” is a come on from a slave trader to a potential slave.
