As of press time, the name of the victim and details of the accident had not yet been released by the Mason County Sheriff’s Department which is investigating the accident. The accident occurred near 4 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon with witnesses saying the passenger vehicle went beneath one of the tractor trailers near the center of the bridge. Another media outlet was reporting the driver of the passenger vehicle was killed, attributing this information to Mason County officials, though this information had not been confirmed by the Point Pleasant Register. What has been confirmed is the vehicles were traveling from the West Virginia side to the Ohio side of the bridge, causing the northbound lanes to be closed for two hours. The closure of these lanes caused major traffic headaches in the area, including causing traffic to come to a standstill on the Bartow Jones Bridge in the southbound lanes and extending north through Point Pleasant. A secondary traffic accident was also reported on the Bartow Jones Bridge shortly after the fatality. Though it was not known if there were any injuries from this accident, witnesses say it appeared to be a fender bender. Responding to the scene were emergency personnel from the Point Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department, Mason County EMS and the Mason County Sheriff’s Department. The Point Pleasant Register will continue to update this story in print and on its website, www.mydailyregister.com, as information becomes available.

Comforting the disadvantaged Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — When you look at the women seated at sewing machines or the quilting frame busily sewing and tying as they create colorful comforters, you instinctively know that they are passionate about helping others. It’s been more than 20 years since the Comfort Club was organized at the first location of the Meigs Cooperative Parish on Condor Street. When the Parish purchased the Pomeroy Elementary School, a special room was set up for the faithful few with a goal of giving a comforter to anyone in need of one when the warm weather passes and winter sets in. The sign on the door reads “Comfort Club.” Inside there are stacks of material, every color, every design, and skeins of yarn just waiting to be turned into a comforter for a double or twin size bed, a lap robe, or a baby blanket. There seems never a shortage of materials being donated to the project which makes it possible for the club members to continue their volunteer work. Recently the Comfort Club reached a milestone.

Middleport Officer Ricky Smith and Athens Deputy Jim Heater, both certified to do meth lab cleanup, processed the residence and the garage neutralizing the chemicals. They also packaged some of the items for submission to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation lab. Children Services was also called due to a child being involved. POMEROY — Progress reports on the state mandated teacher evaluation program, the bullying prevention program in the schools, and the organization of a youth basketball program were presented at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education. As for the teacher evaluation, each of the principals gave a report on the progress being made toward implementing Ohio’s teacher evaluation program which is mandated by the state in an effort to move forward toward the hallmark of effective teaching which is judged by student learning. While the program does not become mandatory until next year when all districts in the state must be involved, Superintendent Rusty Bookman said that the Meigs Local principals opted for getting a head start in the evaluation process now. He described the process as a “normal evaluation using a new system” but one which requires lots more time to get completed. “While it isn’t mandatory until next year, our people decided to get started right.” He also noted that 50 percent of the evaluation score of each teacher is based on student performance. For those who can’t meet the state requirements there is a process for removal from the classroom, Bookman said. He complimented the principals for beginning the process now and the Meigs Local Teachers Association for being cooperation which expedites the process. The ultimate goal as stated by Charlotte Danielson of ODE is that “A principal or a superintendent must be able to say to the school board and the public: ‘Everyone who teaches here is good and here’s how I know.’” David Deem, Meigs Middle School assistant principal, reported on bullying in the schools and what efforts are being made to curb the problem. During the summer, Deem attended a seminar on the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program which offered ways to identify a bully and the victim and then to get involved and do something about it. The emphasis, said Deem, is to identify those who bully and those who are bullied and then work on a plan of action to eliminate the issue. ‌See REPORTS| 2 �Thursday, October 25, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Community Calendar Thursday, Oct. 25 POMEROY — The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors will meet in regular session at 11:30 a.m. at the district office at 33101 Hiland Road.

Kight described it as a Saturday program run by volunteers. The program will start near the end of November and go into February. Several parent volunteers were present for the meeting and expressed their support for the program. Board Member Ryan Mahr noted that the Board “doesn’t govern youth leagues since no school funding is involved and therefor the matter is not a Board issue.” The matter of equal opportunity was brought up by Larry Tucker, who stressed his concern that “every kid be given the same opportunity” mentioning boys and girls, as well as those from economically depressed homes. He was assured by Kight that arrangements could be made through the parent volunteers to assure equal opportunity.

GOP candidate stands by rape comment INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Wednesday that he is standing by his statement that when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape “that’s something God intended.” He says some people have twisted the meaning of his comment. Mourdock said in a news conference that he abhors any sexual violence and regrets it if his comment during a debate Tuesday night left another impression. He said he firmly believes all life is precious and that he abhors violence of any kind. “I spoke from my heart. And speaking from my heart, speaking from the deepest level of my faith, I would not apologize. I would be less than faithful if I said anything other than life is precious, I believe it’s a gift from god,” Mourdock said Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and other Republicans have distanced themselves from Mourdock’s stance. Mourdock, who has been locked in one of the country’s most expensive and closely watched Senate races, was asked during the final minutes of a debate Tuesday night whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest. “I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen,” Mourdock said. Mourdock maintained at the news conference that he was misunderstood. “I think that God can see beauty in every life,” Mourdock said. “Certainly, I did not intend to suggest that God wants rape, that God pushes people to rape, that God wants to support or condone evil in any way.” Mourdock became the second GOP Senate candidate to find himself on the defensive over comments about rape and pregnancy. Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin said in August that women’s bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of what he called “legitimate rape.” Since his comment, Akin has repeatedly apologized but has refused to leave his race despite calls to do so by leaders of his own party, including GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte can- celed her plan to campaign Wednesday with Mourdock. Ayotte’s spokesman, Jeff Grappone, said that the senator disagrees with Mourdock’s comments, which do not represent her views. More than two dozen Indiana Republicans met for the Mourdock fundraiser Ayotte was supposed to headline Wednesday afternoon. Speaking inside the fundraiser hosted by the Indianapolis Women’s Republican Club, state party chairman Eric Holcomb declined comment on Mourdock’s refusal to apologize. “I think he covered it,” Holcomb said. Asked if Ayotte’s cancellation would hurt Mourdock’s fundraising, Holcomb said “I think we’re full steam ahead.” Mourdock also was scheduled to appear at a Republican fundraiser Wednesday night in the wealthy Indianapolis suburb of Carmel. Other Republicans were split on their reaction to Mourdock Wednesday morning. Indiana gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence, who has been a leading social conservative in Congress, said Mourdock should apologize for the comment. Spokeswomen for the two Republican women running for Congress in Indiana, Jackie Walorski and Susan Brooks, said they also disagreed with Mourdock’s comments. But the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has invested heavily in Mourdock and Indiana, said the candidate’s words were being twisted. “Richard and I, along with millions of Americans - including even Joe Donnelly - believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous,” NRSC Chairman and Texas Sen. John Cornyn said in a statement. It was not immediately clear what effect Mourdock’s comments might have during the final two weeks in the increasingly tight race against Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly. But they could prove problematic. Romney distanced himself from Mourdock on Tuesday — a day after a television ad featuring the former Massachusetts governor supporting the GOP Senate candidate began airing in Indiana. “Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock’s com- ments do not reflect Gov. Romney’s views. We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told The Associated Press Wednesday. Romney aides said his ad supporting Mourdock would not be pulled from Indiana’s airwaves. National Democrats quickly picked up on Mourdock’s statement and used it as an opportunity to paint him as an extreme candidate, calling him a tea party “zealot.” DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz described Mourdock’s comments as “outrageous and demeaning to women” and called on Romney to take his proMourdock ad off the air. Mourdock has consistently opposed abortion, with the exception of cases where the mother’s life is in danger. His stark antiabortion stance earned him the endorsement of Indiana Right to Life in the Republican primary and the general election. In response, Donnelly said after the debate in southern Indiana that he doesn’t believe “my God, or any God, would intend that to happen.” Mourdock, who ran un- successfully for Congress three times before becoming state treasurer, became one of the tea party’s biggest winners of the 2012 primary season when he knocked off veteran Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar in a brutal campaign. Initially, national Republicans stayed out of the Indiana race because the race had appeared to be a likely win for the GOP. But as the race grew tighter in recent months, Mourdock changed his tune and started trying to woo moderate voters. At the same time, top Republicans began stumping for Mourdock around the state in a push to break open the high-stakes Senate race. Republicans need to gain three seats, or four if President Barack Obama wins reelection, and seats that were predicted to remain or turn Republican have grown uncertain. Donnelly, a moderate Democrat who opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is in danger, has spent much of his campaign highlighting Mourdock’s tea party ties and trying to accuse him of being too extreme even for conservative Indiana. Two Ohio nurses get probation in malnutrition death CINCINNATI (AP) — Two Ohio nurses were sentenced to probation on Wednesday in the malnutrition death of a 14-yearold girl who had cerebral palsy and weighed 28 pounds when she died, avoiding a sentence of up to one-and-a-half years in prison. Mary Kilby of Miamisburg and Kathryn Williams of Englewood were sentenced to up to five years of probation in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas in Dayton on Wednesday stemming from the March 1, 2011, death of Makayla Norman. Authorities say the teen had numerous bed sores and was liv- ing in filthy conditions when she died from nutritional and medical neglect complicated by cerebral palsy in what a coroner said at the time was the “worst malnourished child” his office had ever seen. Kilby, 64, and Williams, 43, had pleaded no contest to charges of failing to provide for a functionally impaired child and could have faced up to 18 months in prison at their sentencing. As part of Wednesday’s sentence, handed down by Judge Mary Katherine Huffman, both women had to agree to surrender their nursing licenses and will no longer be allowed to practice in Ohio. They both still face misdemeanor charges in a juvenile court that could carry prison time and have a status conference scheduled for Monday. The trial in that court has not yet been scheduled. The nurses’ attorneys argued that they had much less significant roles in Makayla’s death than the teen’s mother and another nurse. Her mother, Angela Norman of Dayton, was sentenced to nine years in prison stemming from the death. The other nurse, Mollie Parsons, is set for trial Nov. 5 and has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter, failing to provide for a functionally impaired child and tampering with records. Prosecutors say the teen was supposed to be cared for by her mother and Parsons, whose job was to administer care to the girl six days a week. Williams was to supervise Parsons, visit and inspect the living conditions, and do a physical assessment of the girl every 30 to 60 days, and Kilby was scheduled to visit every six months to check on conditions in the home and assess the girl’s health, needs and care, prosecutors say. Brad Baldwin, Williams’ at- torney, said his client “is very, very heartbroken and remorseful.” “Throughout Kathryn’s nursing career, she’s done many good things and helped many people,” he said. “This is a case where things went terribly wrong, but she does take full responsibility for her involvement in this tragedy.” Dennis Lieberman, who represents Kilby, said the retired grandmother also regrets Makayla’s death. “If Mary could go back in time, she would have done things differently,” he said. Scientists make embryos with 2 women, 1 man NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists in Oregon have created embryos with genes from one man and two women, using a provocative technique that could someday be used to prevent babies from inheriting certain rare incurable diseases. The researchers at Oregon Health & Sciences University said they are not using the embryos to produce children, and it is not clear when or even if this technique will be put to use. But it has already stirred a debate over its risks and ethics in Britain, where scientists did similar work a few years ago. The British experiments, reported in 2008, led to headlines about the possibility someday of babies with three parents. But that’s an over- statement. The DNA from the second woman amounts to less than 1 percent of the embryo’s genes, and it isn’t the sort that makes a child look like Mom or Dad. The procedure is simply a way of replacing some defective genes that sabotage the normal workings of cells. The British government is asking for public comment on the technology before it decides whether to allow its use in the future. One concern it cites is whether such DNA alteration could be an early step down a slippery slope toward “designer babies” — ordering up, say, a petite, blue-eyed girl or tall, dark-haired boy. Questions have also arisen about the safety of the technique, not only for the baby who results from the egg, but also for the child’s descendants. In June, an influential British bioethics group concluded that the technology would be ethical to use if proven safe and effective. An expert panel in Britain said in 2011 that there was no evidence the technology was unsafe but urged further study. Laurie Zoloth, a bioethicist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., said in an interview that safety problems might not show up for several generations. She said she hopes the United States will follow Britain’s lead in having a wide-ranging discussion of the technology. While the kind of diseases it seeks to fight can be terrible, “this might not be the best way to address it,” Zoloth said. Over the past few years, scientists have reported that such experiments produced healthy monkeys and that tests in human eggs showed encouraging results. The Oregon scientists reported Wednesday that they have produced about a dozen early human embryos and found the technique is highly effective in replacing DNA. The genes they want to replace aren’t the kind most people think of, which are found in the nucleus of cells and influence traits such as eye color and height. Rather, these genes reside outside the nucleus in energy-producing structures called mitochondria. These genes are passed along only by mothers, not fathers. About 1 in every 5,000 chil- dren inherits a disease caused by defective mitochondrial genes. The defects can cause many rare diseases with a host of symptoms, including strokes, epilepsy, dementia, blindness, deafness, kidney failure and heart disease. The new technique, if approved someday for routine use, would allow a woman to give birth to a baby who inherits her nucleus DNA but not her mitochondrial DNA. Here’s how it would work: Doctors would need unfertilized eggs from the patient and a healthy donor. They would remove the nucleus DNA from the donor eggs and replace it with nucleus DNA from the patient’s eggs. So, they would end up with eggs that have the prospective mother’s nucleus DNA, but the donor’s healthy mitochondrial DNA. In a report published online Wednesday by the journal Nature, Shoukhrat Mitalipov and others at OHSU report transplanting nucleus DNA into 64 unfertilized eggs from healthy donors. After fertilization, 13 eggs showed normal development and went on to form early embryos. The researchers also reported that four monkeys born in 2009 from eggs that had DNA transplants remain healthy, giving some assurance on safety. Mitalipov said in an interview that the researchers hope to get federal approval to test the procedure in women, but that current restrictions on using federal money on human embryo research stand in the way of such studies. Ex-megachurch employee sought in fatal shooting COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — A church volunteer leading prayer was shot and killed Wednesday inside the chapel of a Georgia megachurch, and authorities were searching for a former church employee suspected in the shooting. The shots were fired just before 10 a.m. at the chapel on the campus of World Changers Church International, which says it has 30,000 followers in College Park, a suburb south of Atlanta. The church’s prominent founder and leader, the Rev. Creflo Dollar, was not at the church at the time of the shooting, Fulton County Police Cpl. Kay Lester said. Authorities identified the suspect as Floyd Palmer, a 52-year-old former facilities maintenance employee at the church. Lester said Palmer, who should be considered armed and danger- ous, had resigned from his job at the church in August. About 20 to 25 people were gathered in the chapel Wednesday morning, when authorities say the gunman walked in and began shooting. No other people were wounded in the shooting and the gunman fled in a black Subaru station wagon with tinted windows. “He left as calmly as he came,” Lester said. Authorities were working to determine if the suspect and the victim knew each other. Investigators were interviewing witnesses inside the church. Shop Locally & Save Locally Ohio suicide survivor dies during trial CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio man who shot himself three times in a suicide attempt last year has died — right in the midst of his trial on criminal charges stemming from the standoff with police who tried to help him. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Wednesday that Robert Settle of Harrison made it through jury selection Monday, but the 52-year-old was taken to the hospital and died Tuesday. His Cincinnati attorney, Rhett Baker, said that all indications are that his client died of natural causes, adding that Settle had been in failing health for some time after surviving cancer a number of years ago. An official cause of death was not yet known, and the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office did not immediately return a call for comment on Wednesday. Settle had pleaded not guilty to three charges each of attempted murder and felonious assault for firing at police officers who came to his aid in September 2011 in an incident that lasted hours, resulted in a major interstate being closed and required the response of a SWAT team. Baker said that although Settle was charged with attempted murder, he wasn’t trying to injure any officers. In court on Monday, Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Charles Kubicki Jr. noted that Settle looked to be in failing health; his skin was ashen and he was struggling to breath.

Some 850,000 jobs in this critical battleground state are tied to autos and Obama’s campaign constantly reminds voters they’d be jobless if not for the decision to inject taxpayer dollars into General Motors and Chrysler. However, the move has not translated into automatic support for the president, even in areas that depend on the industry. Republican Mitt Romney also is pitching these voters hard with his message that Obama hasn’t balanced Washington’s checkbook the same way voters must. One in eight jobs in Ohio can be linked to the auto industry — whether it’s working on a factory floor or selling groceries to plant workers. The presidential race’s outcome could boil down to whether voters interpret Obama’s move as saving Detroit or bailing it out. But like other flashpoints in this rough campaign, there is little middle ground between the versions of events and what it means for voters’ neighbors. “I couldn’t imagine what Lordstown would be,” said Brian Axiotis, a 37-year-old Obama supporter who works in information technology and lives in nearby Newton Falls. “A lot of folks would lose their houses. Consider the mess that would have resulted. It’d be a ghost town all over the area.” Since its restructuring, the General Motors plant in this town of 4,000 people southeast of Cleveland has added a third shift — and 1,200 new workers with it — to produce the popular compact Chevy Cruze. GM has pledged $220 million in updates to the factory and to keep the 4,500 workers, suggesting this town in the former steel-heavy Mahoning Valley has some stability ahead. Romney volunteer Frank Perrotta still finds Obama’s decision to loan automakers billions a misuse of public dollars. Between calls to voters at Romney’s office in Stow, he shakes his head when talking about the government’s move to prevent the collapse of GM and Chrysler. The bailout began in 2008 under Republican George W. Bush and Obama extended it. “I have to run my business responsibly. No one is coming to bail me out if I get into trouble,” said Perrotta, a 63-year-old Hudson resident who runs a medical imaging business that employs nine workers. “The bailout was just not fair.” Romney opposed using government money to save the car companies in a 2008 op-ed piece in The New York Times, titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” Romney preferred a managed bankruptcy, without federal money, and has maintained the rescue was unfair, unnecessary and political payback to labor unions. “If we had taken your advice, Gov. Romney, about our auto industry, we’d be buying cars from China instead of selling cars to China,” Obama said in Monday’s presidential debate. His statement sparked one of the most con- tentious moments of the evening, with the two interrupting and arguing over one another about what impact Romney’s idea would have had. “I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry,” Romney said, touting his affection for American cars, his Detroit roots and his father’s leadership of American Motors Corp. Obama insisted Romney was “trying to airbrush history” and suggested voters should check the record. While GM paid back its loan and the government took an ownership stake, the Treasury Department estimates Washington might lose about $25.1 billion on its investment. It smacks of government waste for its critics. “They should’ve followed the bankruptcy process that applies to the rest of us who don’t have union bosses for friends. They bailed out their buddies,” said Loretta Hurite, a 74-yearold Romney supporter from Cuyahoga Falls working the phones in Stow. And so it continues through the state, where polls are close and both campaigns are in overdrive. No Republican has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio, and John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign was the last Democratic effort to win the presidency without it. Voters here are bombarded with campaign ads and candidate visits, mail at the ends of their driveways and phone calls at all hours. Obama’s allies never hesitate to raise the bailout in visits to the state. “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,” Vice President Joe Biden roars at rallies, always a sure-fire applause generator. Obama’s team even has former President Bill Clinton making the point. “It’s important to remember than one in eight jobs in the state of Ohio is tied to the auto industry,” Clinton told voters in Parma last week. “When you were down and you were out, the president had your back. Now, you’ve got to have his.” Not so fast, says Dennis Muniak, a 60-yearold Parma resident who attended the Clinton rally near Cleveland. “Seven out of eight jobs aren’t auto jobs,” countered Muniak, who is drawing disability benefits. Back in Trumbull County’s city of Warren, just across the railroad tracks from the Lordstown plant, General Motors retiree George Vukovich cast his ballot early for Obama. “In this valley, we are autos. Obama took care of us. He kept his promise. Now, we have to have his back,” the 61-year-old Vukovich said before acknowledging the auto industry’s heyday might be in its past. Across the street from the early voting site, weeds are growing high at a car audio shop that has shut its doors. A retail plaza next door is vacant. “We were lucky. We worked through the glory days of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s,” Vukovich said. “Those days are over. But I have great insurance and I have a great retirement.” Thanks to the taxpayers, Chuck Wirebaugh clucks.

Two independent financial firms say the Marcellus isn’t just the biggest natural gas field in the country — it’s the cheapest place for energy companies to drill. One of the reports adds that the Marcellus reserves that lie below parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and New York are far larger than recent government estimates, while another said the powerful combination of resource, cost and location is altering natural gas prices and market trends across the nation. The Marcellus could contain “almost half of the current proven natural gas reserves in the U.S,” a report from Standard & Poor’s issued this week said. Another recent report from ITG Investment Research, a worldwide financial firm based in New York, found that a detailed analysis of Marcellus well production data suggested that federal government estimates of its reserves “are grossly understated,” according The new information increases the likelihood that natural gas will be used for more and more energy needs, such as city buses, industrial use, and electric power generation, according to Manuj Nikhanj, the head of Energy Research at ITG. And though low wholesale prices have squeezed drilling companies’ revenue, the S&P report says the Marcellus has the lowest production cost of any natural gas field in the nation, adding to the likelihood of a continued boom. “The amount of resource that’s available at relatively low cost is fairly enormous,” Nikhanj said. The Marcellus is a gas-rich formation thousands of feet below much of the four states, but current production is centered in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Earlier this year, the federal Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Energy Information Administration sharply lowered its estimates of Marcellus reserves, from 410 trillion cubic feet down to 141 trillion cubic feet. That adjustment was widely reported, including by The Associated Press. But that lowered estimate doesn’t correspond with actual well production, said Nikhanj. He said their analysis shows that the Marcellus contains about 330 trillion cubic feet of gas, more than double the size of the next largest field in the nation, the Eagle Ford in south Texas. Some financial firms and critics of gas drilling had suggested that the EIA estimates supported theories that Marcellus production might decline more rapidly than expected, and thus be far less profitable for energy companies. But Nikhanj said a review of actual Marcellus well data shows that on average they’re producing more gas than expected, not less. Jonathan Cogan, a spokesman for the EIA, pointed out that its reports have always noted that Marcellus estimates “are likely to continue evolving as drilling continues and more information becomes publicly available.” Serious drilling in the Marcellus began only a few years ago, and many areas still have few or no wells, which makes the task of estimating reserves more difficult. The S&P report said the growing output from the Marcellus is putting pressure on energy companies in Canada and the Rocky Mountains, which have traditionally exported large amounts of gas to the lucrative Northeast market. But it appears that in the near future, the Northeast will get most or all of its gas from the Marcellus. The S&P report also said Marcellus production also means there will likely be more and more pipeline construction in the Northeast. “As people get more comfortable with the total amount of resource that has now been discovered, as that starts to sink in, I think natural gas will continue to be a fuel of choice,” Nikhanj said. Even critics of gas drilling should accept that it isn’t going away, said the head of one leading Pennsylvania environmental group. “We should realize by now this is not going to be a short play. It’s going to be here, probably for generations, because it’s so productive,” said George Jugovic Jr., president of PennFuture. That’s a mixed blessing for environmental groups, Jugovic said. “It lengthens the horizon. It means that we have time to get it right because they’re not going to be in here and out,” Jugovic said of drilling companies, yet “at same time that it raises the imperative of getting our regulations in order.” Ironically, the vast production coming out of Marcellus wells in Pennsylvania and West Virginia may have given some breathing room to New York, where residents, government officials and gas drillers are engaged in an extended debate over whether to allow the new gas production method known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking is under moratorium in New York until the debate is resolved. Hydraulic fracturing has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has also raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas. Regulators contend that overall, water and air pollution problems are rare, but environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn’t been enough research on those issues. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, and many rules on air pollution and disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking are being strengthened. “This excess production has really taken the pressure off New York’s moratorium. It’s given them more time” to decide whether to allow drilling, Jugovic said. Nikhanj said that strictly from a market standpoint, New York’s share of the Marcellus may not matter.

Being friendly at lunch or on the playground would make the child feel welcome, and you can suggest this to your son. Some schools use role-playing games in which the children pick different disabilities and go through the class time as though they were the disabled individual. You could do this at home. It’s important to have a dialogue about what’s happening, how the child feels and how your son thinks a disabled person would feel. It shouldn’t be very difficult to impart your values to your child on this topic, emphasizing that the classmate has feelings, just like your son, and that it is never acceptable to make fun of or bully another student. You can tell him how proud you would be for him to be the boy’s friend, and how his other friends probably would follow his lead. This may be more than your son has considered, and it will help open his eyes to the feelings of others. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Ohio’s economic picture offers political dilemma COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Gov. John Kasich warned Wednesday of an economic slowdown happening in the swing state ahead the presidential election, even as Huntington bank announced it is bringing 250 jobs to Ohio. The Republican governor praised the additional jobs at a news conference with legislative leaders and Huntington CEO Stephen Steinour. But the announcement highlighted the political dilemma that Kasich faces of promoting the state’s recovery as a model while saying President Barack Obama’s policies are holding Ohio back. “There’s so many people just on the sidelines, holding off,” Kasich later told reporters, noting what he said was uncertainty from Washington and the outcome of the presidential election. “We know things are slowing down a little bit,” he said. Regional bank Huntington Bancshares Inc. said Wednesday it plans to add 250 jobs to its Ohio operations over the next four years to help build its credit card business. The positions would be in customer service and marketing, among other areas. Steinour said a bipartisan bill passed by the state Legislature helped clear the way for the bank to create the jobs. Huntington is develop- ing its own line of business and consumer credit cards. Because some states allow financial institutions to charge higher interest rates and other fees than Ohio, the bill allows Ohio-chartered financial institutions to charge rates and fees above the state’s current maximums under law. Columbus-based Huntington operates almost 700 bank branch offices in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Kasich told reporters that most businesses would rather do nothing than risk new investments while it’s unclear what will happen with health care, taxes and the nation’s debt. “I’m not Police arrest teen Quilts in Colo. girl’s death From Page 1 WESTMINSTER, Colo. (AP) — A teenager who lived just a mile from a 10-year-old Colorado girl who was abducted and killed earlier this month has been arrested in her death, along with a May attack on a runner, authorities said Wednesday. Police in the Denver suburb of Westminster said they arrested 17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg on Tuesday night after receiving a phone call, apparently from his mother, that led them to Sigg. Reached by phone Wednesday, Sigg’s mother told The Associated Press he turned himself in. “I made the phone call, and he turned himself in. That’s all I have to say,” said Mindy Sigg, before she broke down in tears and hung up. Police announced the arrest as agents searched Sigg’s home, but they have released few details about the investigation.

Ohio’s unemployment rate ticked down to 7 percent last month — its lowest in four years — after three consecutive months of holding steady at 7.2 percent. It remains below the national rate of 7.8 percent. Kasich said Wednesday that too many people in Ohio remain out of work. “We’re doing really well, but we have a long, long way to go,” he said.

Fostoria St. Wendelin, struggling because of few players all season, had just 11 healthy bodies available for Saturday’s Christian Athletic League of America game against the Battle Creek (Mich.) Apocalypse. So the school got approval from the league and an OK from the OHSAA to play eight-man football. “In playing this year against some of the other teams, the comment had been made: ‘Hey, coach, if you get a couple of injuries and you want to whittle this thing down to an eight-man game, we can work something out,’” said St. Wendelin coach Jim Bodart. “We were always able to keep 11 guys on the field, but after we had a few more injuries, it was like, ‘Well, if we’re going to finish this season, there’s no other option.’” QB Austin Reinhart scored on runs of 90 and 26 yards and Zach Miller, one of the injured St. Wendelin players cleared to play just before the game, returned two interceptions for TDs as St. Wendelin earned its first win of the season, 38-14.

With the loss Jackson would finish its season without a winning record for the first time since 2008 (55). JHS is coming off it’s worst offensive performance of the season in its loss to Chillicothe. GAHS has outgained SEOAL opponents 1,519-to-1,007 in total yards this season. Prior to last week Jackson had scored over 30 points in three straight contests. JHS is 3-1 on the road this season while GAHS is 3-1 at home. A win would guarantee the GAHS its first playoff berth since 2006 and could also clinch a home game for the Blue Devils in the Region 12 playoff bracket. at River Valley Raiders (2-7, 1-3) Last Week: Fairland 50-7 win at Rock Hill; River Valley 43-19 win vs. South Point.

Head coach Billina Donaldson’s team picked up its 15th win in its last 18 outings and remained perfect in seven home dates, cruising to a 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-13) win over the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, Tuesday night, in Mid-South Conference action at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm improved to 18-8 overall and 9-3 in conference play, temporarily tying Campbellsville University for third place in the MSC standings. The tie will be broken one way or the other on Thursday, when Camp- bellsville hosts St. Catharine College. Tuesday’s win over UVA-Wise saw Rio essentially control the entire match. The RedStorm tallied a .444 hitting percentage in game one and led throughout. The Highland Cavaliers did hold a 17-13 lead in game two before Rio mounted a 12-5 run to close things out. The game was tied as late as 2222, but the RedStorm won it on three straight service winners by senior libero Lauren Raines (Albany, OH), punctuated by kills from senior outside hitter Whitney Smith on each point. Game three was never close, with Rio jumping to a 20-7 lead and never looking back. Hitting again told the tale, with UVA-Wise posting a .207 percentage (9 kills, 3 errors, 29 attacks) compared to a .538 showing by the RedStorm (16 kills, 2 errors, 26 attacks). Rio Grande, which entered the match ranked second in the MSC and seventh in the country with a .287 team hitting percentage, had a .412 percentage for the match. Smith had 17 kills, nine digs and a dazzling .708 hitting percentage to lead Rio in the win, while senior middle blocker Erin Sherman added 12 kills and a pair of blocks. Junior setter Kayla Landaker added 21 assists and two service aces to the winning effort, while junior setter Kelsey Martin had 19 assists of her own. Robyn Dougherty had 10 kills and two aces to lead the Cavs (7-22, 4-9), while Veronica Sanchez had 20 assists and two blocks. India Dillard contributed 11 digs and Maya Hamlett also had two blocks in a losing cause for Wise. Rio Grande returns to action next Monday, traveling to the University of Pikeville for a 7 p.m. first serve. �Thursday, October 25, 2012 ANNOUNCEMENTS Legals SERVICES Business • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 60353245 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Please leave a message Legals PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE: is hereby given that on Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

Is this a habit you really want to form? You have an abundance of energy and opportunities available to you. Why not funnel some of your burning energy into constructive causes? If you are single, you have a throng of potential mates to choose from. You will know when you meet Mr. or Ms. Right — just trust your intuition. If you are attached, reveal more of your emotional side, and you will note a greater responsiveness. PISCES helps carry your thoughts into a new realm. Let this process take hold. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You need to be aware of what ails a key person in your life; you probably can make a difference. Tension will build, so pull back and choose a relaxing activity in the meantime. Your understanding and insight will help this person. Tonight: An important talk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on a friendship that you really enjoy. This person gives you powerful feedback and often opens the path to good times. It appears as if pressure builds around a financial issue. You and someone else just do not see eye to eye. Tonight: Where the fun is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel as if you need to make an impression on a boss or someone you look up to. A person you care about could be quite fiery and difficult. You cannot put a lid on this situation, so you might as well listen to what he or she has to say. Tonight: Wherever you are, expect to be noticed. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You will want to detach and get to the bottom of a disagreement. What seems logical to one person might not be to someone else. Your instincts serve you well, and perhaps it would be a smart idea not to ask too many questions right now. Tonight: Where there is music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Stay close to a partner or associate. The two of you work better as a team. Your creativity flourishes with this person, and often he or she helps tame your ideas. Opportunities seem to come to you from out of left field. Test them out before saying “yes.” Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news over dinner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and you will find out a lot more. When you do that, the assumption is that you approve of a person’s performance or actions, which may or may not be true. Regardless, this person will relax, and you will see more authentic behavior as a result. Tonight: Ask for feedback. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Maintain a low profile, and you will see much more of what is happening around you. You have a lot to do and accomplish. Reach out to someone who demonstrates intellectual dependability and optimism. You put your essence into your work, a project and whatever else you are involved with. Tonight: Working into the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Listen to the blend of imagination and intellect within yourself. Express those thoughts in a way that someone else can understand. You will stir up a lot of excitement involving a strong associate. Someone comes to the rescue before you know it. Tonight: Ever playful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Anchor in and handle a domestic or investment issue. Trust that you will make a good decision that advances your interests. Opportunities bloom because of your serious attitude and willingness to open up. You express yourself with clarity and caring. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Remain sure of yourself when dealing with others. You have the ability to understand when someone is off in his or her decision and cannot see it. You’ll use the right words and help this person realize where there is a problem. Tonight: Meet with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be a bit extravagant with spending or with your emotions. No one will mind, except for a friend who might be just a tad jealous. Your very playful side emerges, which allows for great fun wherever you are. You verbalize some strong feelings. Others get it. Tonight: No one is stopping you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You smile, and others respond. Use your high charisma to draw in more of what you want. No one wants to argue with you; in fact, others wish they were you. A family member lets you know how very appreciated you are. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

Kneeling in front, from left, are Scotty Wood, Marshall Hood, Phil Hollingshead, Evan Bowman, Rachel Haddad and Eric Blevins. Standing in back are T.G. Miller, Josh Blevins, Caleb McKitrick, Chance Burleson, Richard Bowman and OVCS head coach Jeff Patrick. Defenders headed back to Final 4 Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — And here we go again. The Ohio Valley Christian soccer team advanced to the Ohio Christian School Athletic Association Final Four on Saturday with a 2-1 overtime victory over the Christian Community Warriors in a regional final. The third-seeded Defenders never trailed in the contest, but both teams found themselves deadlocked in a scoreless tie at the intermission and knotted at one-all after regulation. OVCS, however, needed just five minutes in the first overtime to secure a return trip to Circleville, as senior Richard Bowman bounced the winner off the post for a thrilling 2-1 triumph. The Defenders — who last year finished as the OCSAA runner-up — will take on second-seeded Toledo Emmanuel Christian at 4 p.m. Friday in a state semifinal held at Ohio Christian University. Two-time defendingchampion and top-seeded Lakewood Hearts for Jesus Christ will face fourth-seeded Mansfield Temple Christian in the other semifinal at 2 p.m. All four of these teams were in the 2011 OCSAA Final Four. OVCS outshot the sixthseeded Warriors by a 13-7 overall margin and claimed a 5-3 edge in corner kicks, but both squads were scoreless through 56 minutes of play. Then in the 57th minute, senior Caleb McKitrick netted his 20th goal of the season and gave the Defenders a 1-0 edge after netting a pass from classmate Chance Burleson. John Liota, however, tied things with an unassisted goal in the 67th minute — which forced the first 15 minute OT session. Burleson found Bowman with a pass in the fifth minute, and Bowman’s shot from the right-corner of the box ricocheted off the opposite post. Upon impact, the ball bounced toward the back of the net and over the goal line — giving the Defenders a spot in this weekend’s Final Four. Freshman Marshall Hood made six saves in net for OVCS, which enters this weekend’s semifinal with a 10-5-2 overall mark. The Defenders earned a tie with host Calvary Christian Monday following a 1-1 outcome in the regular season finale. OVCS never led and trailed 1-0 at the break, despite gaining a 16-4 edge in shots on the goal in the contest. Calvary took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute after Trent Spears scored on a free kick, but the guests rallied to tie things in the 44th minute after Burleson netted a rebound on a shot by Bowman. OVCS had a 4-1 edge in corner kicks, and Hood made three saves in goal for the Defenders. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: C’mon, admit it: After Penn State lost its first two games you thought the Nittany Lions might not win at all. Yet coach Bill O’Brien’s first PSU team has won five in a row. The Nittany Lions, with the world watching after the sanctions that followed Jerry Sandusky’s atrocities in State College, Pa., lost its opener at home to Ohio’s Bobcats, 24-14. A week later, PK Sam Ficken missed field goals of 40, 38, 20 and 42 yards and Penn State lost at Virginia, 17-16. Most people thought the Nittany Lions were primed for an 0-12 season. Boy, were they wrong. In short order, they’ve beaten Navy 34-7, Temple 24-13, Illinois 35-7, Northwestern 39-28 and Iowa 3814. Suddenly, the Lions are getting votes in the national polls. Who would have thought it possible? Now O’Brien is considered a viable candidate for national and Big Ten coach of the year. He was asked this week if he can continue to pull the rabbit out of his hat even though Penn State faces a stiff series of bowl bans, scholarship limitations and other sanctions. “I feel like this is a very special place to play football and go to school. It’s a phenomenal education. It’s a great place to play football in front of 100,000 fans on national TV,” O’Brien said. “Scholarship limitations aren’t going to be easy to deal with but we’re going to aim to go out there every single day and compete and win games. That’s what our job is to do and that’s what we’re going to try to do.” BRAXTON’S HEALTH: QB Braxton Miller worked out with the team in Wednesday’s practice although, as is usually the case, he was not subjected to contact. Coach Urban Meyer said Miller was sore but has not shown any signs of a concussion or a more serious injury. So, unless there’s a setback, he should be available for Saturday’s 5:30 p.m. kickoff in Beaver Stadium. URBAN’S HEALTH: Urban Meyer twice stepped away from the head coaching job at Florida while citing health and family reasons. Here’s a checkup on him eight games into the season: “I’m doing great. A lot of the stress-related issues were that I was having some health issues (at Florida) that I wasn’t quite sure what they were,” he said. “Once they were diagnosed and I knew how to handle it and take care of it — esophageal spasms with medicine — and also (I learned to) just take care of yourself. That part of it, that was the biggest stressor. But I’m handling it fine. I’m doing great.” So, is he working any fewer hours? “Same hours. That had really nothing to do with it. Same hours,” he said with a laugh. “Offseason is much different than it has been in the past, but in-season it is what it is.” ball for much of the game, running 26 more offensive plays that Eastern. Southern had possession of the ball more than twice as long last week in Trimble’s victory. All three of Eastern’s touchdowns came on plays of over 30 yards last week.

River Valley’s last win over Fairland came in Week 10 of 2002, a 19-0 decision at home. RVHS — which posted a season-high 43 points offensively last week — has been outscored 343-151 overall this year, including a 157-90 discrepancy in OVC play. The Dragons snapped a two-game losing skid last week while scoring a season-high in points.
