Watson, 90 $2.00 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2012 Vol. 46, No. 43 Unemployment falls in tri-county region Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com OHIO VALLEY — For the first time in a long time, unemployment has fallen in the tri-county area as a whole. Mason County in West Virginia as well as Gallia and Meigs counties in Ohio all report lower unemployment rates for the month of September, according to WorkForce WV and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, respectively. In Mason County, the unemployment rate has continued to fall for the last three months of available statistics. In July, the unemployment rate was 12.1 percent, in August it dipped to 10.7 percent and for September it fell to 9.6 percent. For a county which has repeatedly claimed the top spot for the highest unemployment rate, in September, Mason County found itself ranked seventh in terms overall unemployment. The “top 10” counties with the highest unemployment rates in West Virginia are: Clay, 13 percent; Webster, 12.1 percent; Boone, 11.5 percent; Roane, 10 percent; Grant, Wetzel and Mingo counties, 9.9 percent; Logan, 9.8 percent; Mason, 9.6 percent; Pocahontas, 9.3 percent; Braxton, 9.2 percent; Calhoun and Wirt counties, 8.9 percent. Counties with the lowest unemployment rates in West Virginia are Monongalia, and Jefferson counties, five percent; Putnam, 5.6 percent; Preston and Monroe counties, 5.8 percent; Lewis and Pendelton counties, 5.9 percent. Meigs County seems to be perpetually ranked at number two in terms of the highest unemployment rate out of Ohio’s 88 counties, but, for the third month in a row, unemployment has fallen there. Meigs had an unemployment rate of 12.5 in July, then it dipped to 11.1 in August and fell to 10.7 in September. Gallia County’s unemployment rate has been more up and down in the last three months, though by a small margin. In July, Gallia County’s unemployment rate was 8.3 percent, in August it rose slightly to 8.4 percent and then in September fell again to 8.2 percent. Gallia County is currently ranked 15th out of 88 counties in terms of unemployment rates. Ohio counties with the lowest unemployment rates include Mercer, 3.9 percent; Holmes, 4.4 percent; Delaware, 4.8 percent; Auglaize, 4.9 percent; Putnam, five percent. Unemployment rates for September for other counties of interest are: Vinton, 9.1 percent; Jackson, 7.9 percent; Athens, 7.5 percent; Franklin, 5.8 percent; Cuyahoga, 6.9 percent; Hamilton, 6.4 percent. Pike County once again had the highest unemployment rate at 11.5 percent. Ohio’s overall unemployment rate was down from 7.2 percent in August to seven percent in September - West Virginia’s overall unemployment rate was up one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.6 percent in September. The U.S. unemployment rate is down, going from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September which means both West Virginia and Ohio are still below the national average when it comes to unemployment rates.

The event was sponsored by the Gallia County Economic Development Office, the Gallia County Board of Commissioners and the Gallia County Workforce Opportunity Center. “We were taking about these [employment] challenges one day, and we said, ‘Why don’t we have a job fair?

Civil War exhibit opens in Marietta museum Meigs moves forward on 2013 re-enactment plan Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A Civil War exhibit in place at the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta is sure to be of special interest to Meigs Countians and other regional history buffs since that war’s only battle fought on Ohio soil took place in July 1863 at Buffington Island in the Portland community of Meigs County. That exhibit marks the beginning of a number of events planned for the sesquicentennial observance of the Civil War. The exhibit is titled “Touched by Conflict: Southeastern Ohio and the Civil War.” It will remain on display through 2015 and is a cooperaSee EXHIBIT ‌| A2 First of C8 personal injury claims filed Callie Lyons, Special to the Sunday Times-Sentinel OHIO VALLEY — Mid Ohio Valley residents with health problems linked to C8 exposure may soon have their own days in court. A Charleston, West Virginia attorney has filed the first three C8 personal injury lawsuits. It is the start of what could potentially be thousands of cases in the aftermath of an epidemiological study that established probable links between C8 exposure and several different types of human disease. It all came about as the result of a class action lawsuit filed in Wood County Circuit Court by area residents against DuPont over the contamination of local water supplies with the manufacturing chemical C8, otherwise known as PFOA or Charlene Hoeflich | Sunday Times-Sentinel perfluorooctanoic acid. The An eight-panel kiosk tells story of the Confederate Gen.

In 2002, local water consumers in several Ohio communities including Belpre, Tuppers Plains, Little Hocking and Pomeroy discovered that the substance had made its way into their wells and aquifers. The contamination was also found in public water supplies in Lubeck and Mason County, West Virginia. Last December, the C8 Science Panel linked C8 to pregnancy-induced hypertension. In April, the panel linked the man-made substance to kidney and testicular cancer. In July, the panel linked C8 to thyroid disease and ulcerated colitis. The C8 Science Panel is expected to release their final findings on October 29.

Using artifacts and contemporary accounts, the display focuses on southeastern Ohio and explores events in the state leading up to the Civil War, including local support of the war effort, recruitment, service in various campaigns, and the personal lives of officers and private soldiers as they performed in numerous campaigns with various army corps. Many of the objects in the exhibit come from the collection of Strayer, one of the foremost collectors of Civil War photographs in the United States. Some of the unique objects on display in the exhibit include: The only known photograph of the U.S.S. Moose, a Union vessel that played a key role in the Battle of Buffington Island during Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s Raid through Ohio in 1863; The restored flag of the 14th Corps commanded by B. D. Fearing. Fearing entered the war as a private and advanced to the position of Brigadier General by the war’s conclusion. Funding to restore this flag was made possible through the development of the exhibit and the efforts of Marietta College; A rare photograph of Fearing’s house with Fearing and the 14th Corp flag in the photograph. Included in the Museum’s Civil War exhibit is a detailed diorama of the battle of Gettysburg, designed to make the experience of battle understandable for children. In conjunction with the exhibit, Campus Martius is sponsoring a number of related events. It holds a Civil War roundtable on the third Thursday of every month. Campus Martius is also planning a symposium on southeastern Ohio’s involvement in Morgan’s Raid. Also in the planning stage is a two-day field trip to Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Md. Nov. 3 and 4, which will include Civil War experts and numerous battle-related stops throughout the two days. For information about events taking place at Campus Martius, call 740-373-3750. Over the past several years, the Ohio Historical Society has collaborated with the Meigs County Historical Society, the Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation, the Ohio Civil War Trail Commission, and the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program to raise awareness of the Buffington Island battle. Since that battle occurred in July of 1863 July of 2013 will be special time for recognizing Meigs County’s role as the location of Ohio’s only Civil War battle. Tentative plans have been made for a three-day reenactment of the move of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan and his Raiders across Meigs County and into Portland where they were confronted by Union forces in the Buffington Island battle Confederate and Union cavalry and infantry reenactors are expected to arrive in Meigs County with artillery and wagons of supplies, camp out at the Rock Springs Fairgrounds, and then move out to race the path Morgan and his men took to the site where they encountered Union soldiers and engaged in battle. Those interested in gaining a better knowledge of the history of the Civil War are encouraged to visit the Buffington Island Memorial Park in Portland where an eight panel kiosk tells the story of Morgan and his men from the time they entered Meigs County, through the days of battle with Union forces, the escape of Morgan with some of his men, and his eventual capture. Currently, a project is under way in an effort to amend the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Buffington Island Civil War battlefield in Portland. As it now stands the registry only encompasses the four acres in the Buffington Island State Memorial Park. Recent studies, however, have determined that the battle took place over 1,200 acres in the Portland bottom area. The recommendation is that the Registry include the entire battle area.

The class action settlement agreement indicates that DuPont may not dispute that C8 can cause the specific diseases which the C8 Science Panel has linked to exposure. Attorney Kathy Brown, who this week filed three personal injury suits on behalf of area residents, explained that with the class action coming to an end impacted residents are seeking justice for themselves. “This is entirely different from the earlier class-action lawsuit. This is so different that these personal injury claims were specifically separated and carved out from the class-action seven years ago,” Brown said. “These lawsuits are for people who have one of those reported diseases and are seeking justice. My co-counsel and I are continuing to screen cases and talk to people throughout the area about their injuries and what remedies they may have.” One of those suits was filed for Virginia Morrison on behalf of her husband who died of injuries related to kidney cancer in 2008. “We lived on DuPont Road for years,” Morrison said. “Only this year did we find out that the water we were drinking may have made my husband sick.” The other two lawsuits claim injuries involving thyroid disease and ulcerative colitis. Brown is working with the law firm of Cory Watson Crowder & DeGaris of Birmingham, Alabama. She has scheduled a series of town hall meetings this month to give residents information about their legal rights. On October 28, at 1 pm a meeting is scheduled Gallia Academy Middle School Basket Games Cafetorium 20 games for $20 Saturday November 3rd Doors open at 11am Games start at Noon Concessions & Baked Goods Presale Tickets Available Now For special drawing entry Basket Themes and Prizes Gallia Academy Ohio State 60366248 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia at the Lowe Hotel on Main Street.

At 6 pm there will be a final session at the Lubeck Volunteer Fire Department on Harris Highway. “Where you now live does not matter if you were exposed to the potentially contaminated water from any of those areas for at least one year prior to December 3, 2004. If you did live there and you have suffered or are suffering from any of the conditions which the Science Panel has linked to C8, you should contact a lawyer to explore your rights,” said J.C. Conlin, lead attorney handling the matter on behalf of Cory Watson. Attorneys representing the class members in the C8 class action lawsuit are not pleased with Brown’s outreach. “For what it’s worth, the folks who put out that press release have never previously participated in a single C8 case anywhere,” said class counsel Harry Deitzler. “They are out of town Alabama lawyers fronted by a neophyte Charleston attorney whose only claim to fame is that she is a former TV newscaster.” Deitlzer said only three law firms have been designated by the court to represent class members in the C8 class action litigation. They include: Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee & Deitzler of Parkersburg and Charleston, Taft, Stettinius & Hollister of Cincinnati, and Winter & Johnson of Charleston. However, Conlin insists that the class portion of the litigation is at an end. And, while the class action resulted in the C8 Health Study, the C8 Science Panel, water filtration systems, and medical monitoring, it does not cover personal injuries. “For people who have an injury, the responsibility is on them to seek counsel,” Conlin explained. “They are not limited in who they can see or who can help them.” t c e l Belinda e BURNETT GALLIA COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS 60359911 panel has been appointed to decide what monitoring or screening might be ap- propriate for members of the class in light of the findings.

According to Clark, dozens of employers and at least 375 job seekers participated in the event that ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday. “I think a lot of people were shocked by the number of people here, but it didn’t really surprise me,” said Dana Glassburn, director of Gallia County Job and Family Services and the Gallia County Workforce Opportunity Center. “This area is in need of employment, and it was nice to see them come together in the same place. I feel really great about it.” Those looking for employment, like Crown City resident Justin Higgins, were pleased with the opportunity, as well. “It was very well put together and organized,” said Higgins. “I don’t think they could have done a better job.” Higgins said that the employers on site that most interested him were GKN Sinter Metals of Gallipolis and Mark Porter Auto Sales in Pomeroy. “I’ve been an independent contractor for a long time, and I’m just looking for better work,” said Higgins, who has worked as a mechanic, as well as in construction. “It’s rough. You go a month or so at a time without working and then it’s nonstop. You just never know. I’m looking for something more steady.” Employers on site encompassed many diverse fields including health care, retail and even Tupperware sales. Clark was providing information at the event about the National Emergency Grant (NEG) program, which provides short-term, wellpaying employment to unemployed or underemployed residents of Gallia County. Participants can work 1,040 hours or approximately six months under the criteria outlined in the grant that funds the program. Clark’s office is administering the program. “We are still hiring,” said Clark. Clark said that she felt the event was well-attended and that bringing employers and employees together could certainly be a benefit to both, but the implications of such a huge crowd weren’t lost on her. “When you sit back and look at it, I think it is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s good that we have employers here that are hiring, that are looking for employees here in the area. I think it’s good that there has been such a good turnout, and maybe they have been able to see a wide variety of applicants, but in the same respect, to have this many people showing up means that they are unemployed, underemployed or looking for another job. I think it makes holding these events that much more important,” said Clark. Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A3 Election season can affect relationships Dear Dr. Brothside) and ask them for some advice.

Dear M.C.: You do have some background that will give you a great deal of insight into depression. What you might bear in mind, though, is that the symptoms can be different for various individuals. While you and your daughter both found yourselves crying a lot, you must consider that the elderly don’t always show the same symptoms. Your mother may not feel as emotionally overwrought as you two did, or she may do all her crying in private and take pains to show her “happy face” to you and the family. She may be having trouble going to sleep or staying asleep. On the other hand, her issues may lead her to sleep too much. If your mother is dropping out of her activities and there is nothing medically amiss, that could be a warning flag. The elderly living in senior communities often are mourning lost friends, and they more easily lose interest in activities. You may see changes that you think are part of aging but that actually are contributing to depression, such as lack of interest in eating, trouble concentrating and increased fatigue. Why not spend some one-on-one time with your mother, and judge for yourself just what is happening? I know you can handle it from then on. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate From Page A1 in the OHSAA rescinding two forfeitures for the EHS football team. The two victories will be reflected Sunday when the OHSAA’s final football computer points ratings are released at OHSAA.org. Court filings in both Ohio and Florida prove that legal proceedings to effect the custody of the student had commenced before his participation in any contests for the school. “We are happy for the family and the school that these new documents were submitted,” Dr. Dan Ross, OHSAA Commissioner, said. “Forfeitures, especially in a sport like football where not every team qualifies for the postseason, can be a difficult process. However, that cannot prevent the OHSAA from following the bylaws established by our member schools, including Eastern. I commend our staff for doing a thorough job and being willing to take the criticism that came with this particular situation.” Eastern will still face sanctions, including a significant monetary fine and follow-up education, for violation of Bylaw 4-1-1 Ad- ministrative Error. As was announced by the OHSAA Thursday, Eastern administrators did not request an eligibility ruling for a transfer student, and when they did submit documentation, they told the OHSAA that a proper change of custody had occurred. However, it was discovered that the proper documents did not exist and that student did not meet either a residency or transfer bylaw exception, which resulted in the initial ruling of EHS forfeiting two victorious contests in which the ineligible student participated. “We at Eastern Local are very happy about the decision of OHSAA and highly respect and appreciate their efforts in working with us through this difficult situation,” said Scot Gheen, superintendent of Eastern Local Schools. “We believe this was a fair and equitable resolution for both parties. We look forward to the continued membership with OHSAA and will use this process as a guide to better enhance the correct protocols in the future.” The Eagles faced Meigs County and TVC Hocking rival Southern at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. 60364209 Eastern Christmas in NASHVILLE Departs Gallipolis December 10-11-12 TWO NIGHTS/THREE DAYS This includes: Roundtrip motorcoach transportation, 2 nights at the magnificent Gaylord OPRY LAND Hotel, complimentary shuttle service to Opry Mills Mall, Grande Ole Opry and transportation to downtown Nashville on Broadway.

In fact, Bill Johnson has supported every bill and amendment offered to restrict unions and labor organizations. He voted to restrict the National Labor Relations Board, end collective bargaining, and mandate a 60-day waiting period before union elections. Many of these policies are the driving force that allow us to organize in the work place. Many men and women depend on organized labor to protect their interests on the jobsite and their ability to provide for their families. The fact that Johnson would try to portray himself as a friend to labor is laughable. Johnson and Kasich are cut from the same Republican party cloth. These are not our values. Sincerely, Larry Broyles International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Local 667, Retired Gallipolis, Ohio Reader: Election will boil down to economics Dear Editor, The upcoming presidential election likely will be decided based upon our view of the future of our economic system. Socialism is an economic system of social organization by which the means of production and distribution are controlled, managed or owned by the government. If we believe that this is the correct course of action for our country, we should vote for President Obama. Capitalism is an economic system based upon the ownership of land, factories and other means of production by private individuals who compete with one another, using the hired labor of other persons, to produce goods and services for a free market for whatever profit may be obtainable. IF we believe that this he correct course of action for our country, we should vote for Governor Romney. James Duvall, Worthington, Ohio Obama reminds reader of ‘Uncle Dave’ Dear Editor, I listened to the presidential debate the other night, it took me back to my childhood some seventy years ago. In our neighborhood, there was a man we called him Uncle Dave. Every time he came around we would say, “Uncle Dave tell us a story.” Boy, he could tell some big stories — some of them was half true, but most of them was not. After listening to President Obama’s stories, I thought, “Man, Uncle Dave is still alive.” George M. Gill Letart, W.Va. Reader supports Noreen Saunders Dear Editor, Visiting the license bureau probably doesn’t top your list of favorite things to do. But, if you live in Gallia County, it is plain to see that the experience has become much more pleasant throughout the last 15 years. It is likely that a variety of factors contributed to this change, but we are confident that the hard work of our Clerk of Courts Noreen Saunders has been significantly vital. But the pleasant atmosphere she has created at the license bureau only demonstrates part of the skill set Noreen possesses. She is dedicated to serving Gallia County in the courthouse on a daily basis. If you’ve ever served as a juror in a Gallia County court, Noreen and her staff do their best to make your experience better. Do we need change in the Clerk of Courts Office? As a family in Gallia County, we certainly think not. The McFanns stand behind Noreen Saunders. Please join us on November 6th and help us reelect Noreen Saunders as Gallia County Clerk of Courts. Thank you, Rick and Lena McFann, Cheshire, Ohio Reader recommends ‘no’ vote on Issue 2 Dear Editor, At this November’s election, Ohioans will be voting on State Issue 2, which is the constitutional amendment that changes the way the state draws legislative and congressional maps. I urge a NO vote on this constitutional amendment. There is a serious problem with this proposed constitutional amendment. It interjects the judiciary directly into the legislative and politically charged process of drawing legislative and congressional district maps. It undermines the important constitutional doctrine of the separation of powers in that it provides that judges of the appellate courts select those who will draw the maps. It makes judges and the courts more vulnerable to political influence. This is not a roll in which judges should be engaged. Their role is to fairly and impartially consider legal disputes. The Ohio State Bar Association and the Ohio Judicial Conference together with other organizations oppose this proposed constitutional amendment on these bases.

While there is much debate about Obamacare and what may be hidden in it, in my opinion this is just a smokescreen to pull our attention away from the more important issue. You don’t need to take my word for it. Check it out for yourself, I’ll tell you how. Go online and pull up Obama’s birth certificate. Examine the long form (finally) released by the White House. Notice there is no seal. Read all the reports. Long forms are issued by both hospitals in Hawaii, see what the staff has to say about Obama being born there. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona personally commissioned a ten page report. It’s there for you to read along with the conclusion drawn by three retired CIA agents. Don’t own a computer? Go to your local library. Someone there will help you pull up the information on one their computers. It is your duty to be well informed before casting a vote for the president of our great nation, so check it out. Are we being bamboozled? You decide. And don’t forget to pray that God will continue to bless America. Sincerely, Juanita Wood Gallipolis, Ohio Reader encourages ‘yes’ vote on Issue 2 Dear Editor, What is Issue 2? I would wager that most voters in this state have no clue how the legislative boundaries are drawn. Everyone assumes that the legislative districts are “fair”. They are not. They don’t know that every ten years, after the census, the political party in power controls the “apportionment board” which gets to draw the lines. The “apportionment board” consists of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the State Auditor, a member selected by the Speaker of the Ohio House and the senate leader of the same party, and a member selected by the house and senate leaders of other party. Republicans have used their major- ity on the apportionment board to skew the boundaries so that republicans win a majority are by design, Republicans make no apologies for taking full advantage of a flawed system. But what alternative is there? Issue 2 is that alternative. The sponsors are a coalition led by League of Women Voters of Ohio. Issue 2, the Ohio Redistricting Amendment, would require the districts to be drawn by a citizens commission. The Independent Citizens Commission will operate with openness and transparency. The Commission will empower voters to choose their politicians instead of politicians picking their voters. This citizens commission is tasked with fairly drawing the districts in an open forum where any citizen can submit a plan for consideration. Passage of Issue 2 will change politics in Ohio forever. George L. Yerkes Wadsworth, Ohio Reader supports Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Dear Editor, As many of your readers know, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. What most people do not know is that October is also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. While I am a supporter of breast cancer research, I understand it is important that the community be made aware of the devastating effects of breast cancer, however it saddens me that while most business are proudly displaying the pink breast cancer awareness ribbons, I have not seen a single business display a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness ribbon. I gave birth to my son Matthew March 19, 2004. He was born premature at just 22 weeks and passed away two days later. I have many friends who have all also suffered the devastating loss of a child. Shouldn’t we get as much support from our community as those fighting cancer or who have lost loved ones to cancer? I am sure that I am not the only one in the baby loss community who feels the same. Next October I would like to see things change a bit. There is plenty of room in our community to display both awareness ribbons. If any of the local business are interested in becoming a part of helping us mothers/ fathers of baby loss spread awareness also, please contact me. I will give my email address at the end of this article. November is also Prematurity Awareness Month. This subject is close to my heart as mention earlier, my son was born at just 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. 22 weeks. One in eight babies in born prematurely in the United States. Many of these babies will face lifelong health problems and some are born too small to survive. The birth of a preemie changes the lives of families forever. It changes our communities and it changes our history. Who could say what that premature child could have grown up to be or could have accomplished if not for being born too soon? I did not write this article to diminish breast cancer awareness but merely to bring to light another subject of equal important that deserves the same attention and importance. I urge members of my community and those all over to become aware of this taboo subject and support awareness during October, November and throughout the year. If anyone would like to contact me on how you can help, please email me at mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com. Thank you for reading. Michelle Glick, Addison, Ohio Reader impressed with Holzer Halloween Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to convey special thanks and commend Holzer Health System for organizing and carrying out their annual Halloween Treat Street held on Tuesday, Oct. 23rd. Simply put, Holzer’s went above and beyond average expectations for a trick or treat event held for kids and family members. I hope everyone who attended this event realizes the amount of volunteer service time and extra work the administration and staff at Holzer’s gave so selflessly in carrying out this event. It was quite evident that many went to great lengths to make the evening a huge success! I also applaud all of the departments that participated in the event to provide a safe and entertaining evening for the community. As literally hundreds and hundreds of children went from booth to booth for treats and/or entertainment, there was no need to worry about the safety of any of the candy being handed out by the employees. Finally, administration and employees with passion and dedication to give of themselves to their community so selflessly speaks volumes and should not go unnoticed. Therefore, I want to thank you again and praise all of those involved in providing a fantastic and engaging evening for nearly 2000 people throughout our community.

He was born August 4, 1929, in Columbus, Ohio. He was the son of Esther Baird and Reverend Charles Baird, an Episcopal minister who served in the 1940s at a parish in Pomeroy. Charles played on the Pomeroy High School football team and graduated from high school in 1947. He attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and graduated with degrees in English and History in 1951. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy to serve his country during the Korean War. Charles met his future wife, Nancy (Hall) Baird on a blind date while stationed in Boston. They married on December 22, 1955, and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, where Charles achieved a Masters in Education from the University of Cincinnati. He eventually moved his family to Madison, Wisconsin, to accept a teaching position with the Madison Metropolitan School District. He achieved a Masters in School Counseling degree from UW-Whitewater in the early 1970s, and he subsequently worked for the Madison schools for many years. Upon retirement, Charles and Nancy became enamored with the warm climate and hospitality of the south. They retired to Etowah, North Carolina, in June of 1996, and for many years he was very involved serving with his wife at their church, the Hendersonville Church of God. Charles played the piano for his church for a number of those years, and he could often be found playing numbers by ear, using his musical gift to worship the Lord. He is survived by his wife, Nancy Baird of Hendersonville, NC, David Baird of Portage, Wisconsin, John Baird of Madison, Wisconsin, Katherine Chavez of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Mary Lee Morkved of California, along with eight grandchildren.

Money Matters Three-step checklist for turbulent markets Stan Evans, Registered Investment Advisor When the stock market experiences extreme volatility, an investor’s best bet is to focus his/her energy on factors that can be controlled. Unfortunately, many investors panic-sell and lose their money. 60364455 Not available in all states financial forecast.

Jackson, OH 71 E Huron St MON-SUN 8AM - 9PM 740-286-5586 When the market rebounds, many investors are left wondering if it’s the right time to get back in. Your best bet during turbulent markets is an investment of time. You want to invest in time to see where you stand now, and, if you determine changes are in order, thoroughly research your options. Here is a three-step checklist to manage your investments during turbulent markets. Step 1: Check adequacy of cash reserves. The best way to manage your portfolio during volatile markets is to make sure you have adequate cash on hand to cover your nearterm needs. This way, your long-term stock investments can ride out the market ups and downs, but you can take comfort in knowing that they won’t affect your ability to fund short-term cash needs. Step 2: Check your long-term positioning. Once you’ve done the liquidity check, the next step is to check the asset allocation of your long-term assets. Market sell-offs can be alarming for retirees and people getting close to retirement simply because they typically have more money invested, compared with their younger counterparts. Checking your long-term positioning helps you put things into perspective so that you can make sound investment decisions for your future. Step 3: Initiate defensive hedges with care. During turbulent markets, investors may initiate defensive strategies like selling out Pomeroy, OH 700 W Main St MON-SAT 8AM - 9PM SUN 10AM - 9PM 740-992-2891 of stocks and buying into the so-called “safe” investments like gold. Gold and treasuries can serve as a legitimate defensive role in a portfolio; however, these investments may have already enjoyed a sizable run-up. If you’re moving into either, do so with caution, and only after you’ve checked your existing exposure to those asset classes. Treasuries are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to the timely payment of principal and interest. Debt securities are subject to credit/default risk and interest-rate risk (they have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates). In general, the price of a debt security tends to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Gold/commodity investments will be subject to the risks of investing in physical commodities, including regulatory, economic and political developments, weather events, natural disasters, and market disruptions. Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the investment to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds.

The Eastern volleyball team is headed to its 11th straight district final this weekend following a 25-13, 25-11, 25-2 shelling of Leesburg Fairfield Thursday night during a Division IV district semifinal at Jackson High School. The top-seeded Lady Eagles (23-1) fell behind 1-0 in the opening game, then never trailed again at any point in the match as the Green and White reeled off three consecutive double-digit victories to secure a spot in Saturday’s D-4 championship contest. EHS will face third-seeded Waterford (20-4) for the third time this season in the district final at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Apple City. Eastern, currently ranked ninth in the D-4 coaches poll, won both previous matchups in four games this fall and it is also a rematch of last year’s district championship contest. The Lady Eagles recorded 55 service points, 38 kills and seven blocks as a team in the rout, and the Lady Lions (14-6) also managed just seven service points in the entire match. EHS led by as much as 14 points in each of the first two games, then stormed out to a 12-0 advantage in the finale before closing out the contest with nine straight service points from Erin Swatzel. In all, it was a pretty good night for the Lady Eagles — who are aiming for the program’s eighth district championship in school history on Saturday. EHS coach Howie Caldwell, who is now 17-2 alltime in district play, was pleased with the overall effort on Thursday night. He also noted that there is still a lot of work to be done. “This time of year, the more-aggressive club is usually the more successful club. I thought we played very aggressive tonight and did some things very, very well,” Caldwell said. “I told the girls after the game that people don’t train years and years for the Olympics to come home with the silver medal — they train to win gold. That’s exactly what our focus needs to be and that’s what we are going to See LADY |‌ B2 Photos by Bryan Walters l Daily Sentinel Eastern volleyball coach Howie Caldwell, center, instructs his troops before the start of Thursday night’s Division IV district semifinal match against Leesburg Fairfield at Jackson High School in Jackson. Photos by Bryan Walters l Point Pleasant Register Dave Harris Meigs sophomore Ty Phelps, left, delivers a stiff arm to an Alexander defender during one of his three touchdown runs Friday night in a Week 10 TVC Ohio football contest in Albany. Meigs conquers Spartans in season finale, 26-14 Dave Harris Special to OVP ALBANY, Ohio — Ty Phelps scored three first half touchdowns, and Meigs held off Alexander in the second half to post a 26-14 road win over the Spartans in the season finale for both teams. Phelps caught two touchdown passes, an extra point and then added a touchdown run just before the half as the Marauders built a 20-0 halftime lead. The Marauders got on the scoreboard with 2:22 left in the first period when Phelps caught a pass from Kaileb Sheets, and behind some good open field running scored from 21 yards out. The extra points were no good, but the maroon and gold held the early 6-0 advantage. The Spartans were driving and on the second play of the second period, Tyler Smith was stopped by the interior of the Meigs line on a fourth and inches at the Meigs 20 just short of the marker. Meigs made it a 14-0 ballgame with 3:52 left in half when Sheets hooked up with Phelps, this time from 15 yards out. Sheets dialed up Phelps once again on the extra points. On the ensuing kickoff, the Spartans bobbled the squib kick with Isiah English recovering for Meigs at the Alexander 44 yard line. Nine plays later, Phelps took the handoff, looked like he wanted to pass, but the sophomore kept the ball and stiff armed the final Spartan defender scoring from nine yard out. The extra points were no good but Meigs went int6o the locker room at the half on top 20-0. The Spartans took the second half kickoff and put together a nine play, 72 yard drive capped off when Gage Miller scored from 21 yards out. Chase Meeks added the extra points and the Spartans had cut the Meigs lead to 20-7 with 8:04 left in the third period. Meigs was driving at the end of the third period and Andrew Burt plowed in from a yard on fourth and goal from the one. The extra points were no good, but Meigs held a26-7 lead with 7:23 left in the game. The Spartans scored the games final touchdown when Josh Barnes scored from 22 yards out, once again the extra point by Meeks was good and the Spartans had pulled to See MEIGS |‌ B2 OVP Sports Schedule Monday, Oct. 29 URG Sports Volleyball at Pikeville, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30 URG Sports Volleyball vs. Bluefield, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31 Volleyball Pike Eastern-South Webster winner vs. Hilliard 1 winner at Lancaster HS, 6 p.m. Eastern-Waterford winner vs. Hilliard 2 winner at Lancaster HS, 7:30 p.m. Gallia Academy football coach Mike Eddy, right, gives the victory bell a ring after the Blue Devils clinched the SEOAL title outright Friday night following a 30-27 triumph over Jackson at Memorial Field in Gallipolis. Blue Devils beat Jackson, win SEOAL outright Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A champion is crowned. The Gallia Academy football team defeated arch rival Jackson 30-27 Friday night at Memorial Field in Gallia County to give the Blue Devils their first Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championship since 2004, and their first outright title since 2003. “This is what it’s all about,” said fourth year Gallia Academy coach Mike Eddy after the triumph. “These guys have thought of nothing else since last winter.” The Blue Devils (8-2, 5-0 SEOAL) also earn their first trip to the postseason since 2006 with the victory. Early projections indicate that GAHS will host Cincinnati Archbishop McNicholas Saturday night in the Division III region 12 bracket. The final seedings will be made official late Sunday morning by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. GAHS has not hosted a playoff game since 2005 when Sheridan defeated the hosts 42-35 in overtime. “(Making the playoffs) is a great accomplishment for this entire community,” Eddy said. “This town is this football team and we’re proud to gift that to the community again and get back in the playoffs.” Eddy who was previously 0-3 against the Ironmen (5-5, 3-2) commented that he’s been waiting four years to hear the victory bell ring after defeating Jackson. 2008 was the last time the Blue Devils defeated JHS, also it was the last time the Ironmen finished with a non-winning record. “These young men deserve it,” said Eddy. “Of all the championships I’ve been involved with, this is the best group of champions I’ve seen in my life.” Fortune seemed to be smiling on Gallia Academy in the first quarter as they recovered Jackson’s fumble on a punt return which gave the Blue Devils great field position at the JHS 35 yard line. On the eighth play of the drive senior runningback Nick Clagg took the pitch right and ran by the Jackson defense and in to the endzone from 10 yards out. Dylan Saunders added the point after touchdown, Gallia Academy quarterback Wade Jarrell rolls out of the pocket during Friday night’s win over Jackson at Memorial Field. capping off the eight-play by giving the Blue Devils the 7-0 lead with 7:12 remaining in the first. The Jackson offense came on the field for the first time in the game at the JHS 35 yard line. The Ironmen controlled the ball for the rest of the opening stanza, and GAHS led 7-0 after one period. However, on the first play of the second quarter the Red and White got on the board with a 10 run up the left side by quarterback Steven Kearns. Jimmy Voiles added the extra point, knotting the game at seven apiece after Jackson’s 13-play 65 yard drive. The Blue Devils wasted little time returning to See DEVILS ‌| B5 Wahama goes unbeaten in TVC Hocking again Gary Clark Special to OVP HEMLOCK, Ohio — As was expected second ranked Wahama experienced little trouble with host Miller Friday evening as Kane Roush scored four touchdowns while running for 129 yards in only six carries to lead the Bend Area team to a convincing 71-19 road win over the Falcons. Following a bye week during its 2012 fall schedule the White Falcons returned to action and never missed a beat in its Tri Val- ley Conference, Hocking Division win against Miller. Crandal Neal and Zach Wamsley joined Roush in the offensive assault with Neal tallying three touchdowns and topping the 100 yard mark with 109 yards in nine touches and Wamsley adding a trio of scores and five point after kicks in the one-sided victory. The Mason County team raced to a huge 59-12 halftime edge before coasting in the final two quarters to conclude the conference portion of its season with a perfect 8-0 record. The TVC win locks up the Falcons’ third consecutive Hocking Division title and was the Bend Area team’s 24 successive league win since joining the TVC three years ago. Overall the second rated White Falcons improved to 9-0 on the fall campaign while extending its unbeaten regular season winning string to 30 straight games. Miller concluded its 2012 football season at 1-9 overall and 1-7 inside the TVC. WHS exploded for 33 points in the opening 12 minutes before adding another 26 points during the second stanza to remove any doubt in the game’s final outcome. Roush tallied scoring runs of 18, 10, two and 56 yards, all in the first half, with Neal adding a 28 yard touchdown reception from Trenton Gibbs and a 17 yard burst down the right sideline. Wamsley added TD gallops of 21 and 11 yards in addition to returning an interception 52 yards for another score during the contests first two quarters.

W.Va. traveling softball CENTENARY, Ohio — Gallia Academy High School has tentatively rescheduled its Fall Sports BIDWELL, Ohio — River Valley Middle School and High School will be having their annual OHSAA winter sports parent meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, in the RVHS cafeteria. Parents should attend to fill out necessary paperwork for their child to participate in their respective sport, as well as meet with their respective coach for the upcoming 2012-13 season. An OHSAA mandatory video will be shown as well discussing roles of the parent, eligibility, regulations, and concussions. closing the game with a small 7-5 run for a 1-0 match lead. FHS managed a tie at one-all in Game 2, but Eastern followed with a 23-9 surge for a 24-10 lead before trading points for a 2-0 match edge. Ally Hendrix started the finale with 11 straight service points en route to a 12-0 lead, then the Lady Eagles led 16-2 before serving up the final nine points of the match. Ally Hendrix led the EHS service attack with 24 points, followed by Erin Swatzel with 12 points and Maddie Rigsby with nine points. Gabby Hendrix added five points to the winning cause, while Jordan Parker and Kiki Osborne chipped in respective point totals of three and two. Rigsby led the net attack with 16 kills, followed by Parker with nine kills and Osborne with six kills. Swatzel had four kills and four blocks, while Katie Keller added three kills and a block.

Sydney Corzatt paced Fairfield with three service points, followed by Sarah Putnam with two points. Makennah Corzatt and Brenna Simmons both had one point apiece in the setback. Eastern has now won 22 consecutive matches this fall and has three-game sweeps in its last eight contests, as well as wins in its last 27 games played. The last team to win a game against the Lady Eagles was Waterford, which came in the opener of a 20-25, 25-10, 25-21, 25-22 decision at WHS back on September 27. Caldwell knows that the Lady ‘Cats are talented and capable of competing with his troops, but he also feels that his Lady Eagles are hungry and want to keep playing volleyball this season. “We are starting to peak at the right time and you can tell that the girls are excited about playing right now,” Caldwell said. “They realize that the better teams are starting to play now and they are looking forward to that. “These girls like playing in big games and I know we will be ready to play in a big game on Saturday.” NOTES: Eastern volleyball last lost in the D-4 district semifinals to North Adams back in 2001. The Lady Eagles have district championships in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011, and all of those titles have come under Caldwell — who did not coach the program in 2008.

The White Falcons will put its unbeaten 9-0 record on the line next week when the Bend Area team entertains seventh rated Buffalo for an important grid encounter that has huge playoff ramifications for both teams. A victory by Wahama would likely insure the locals the benefit of hosting all of its post-season playoff games while a win by Buffalo could mean as many as two home playoff dates for the Bison.

The point after attempt failed and but GAHS still had the 13-7 lead at the 11:15 mark of the second period. After a long kickoff return by Jackson’s Gabe Griffiths, the Ironmen needed just three plays to tie the game once more. Kearns found his way by the Blue Devil defense and into the endzone from 23 yards out knotting the game at 13. The extra point failed and the score remained tied with 10:15 remaining in the half. GAHS drove down the field on it next possession but a false start penalty inside the five yard line forced the Blue Devils into a field goal situation. Saunders split the uprights from 26 yards out and Gallia Academy had its third lead of the game over Jackson. The half ended before either of the teams could add more points to the board and the Blue Devils led 16-13. After forcing a turnover on downs on the opening drive of the half the Blue Devils sent their offense out to set up shop at their own 42 yard line. Five plays into the drive GAHS had tacked on another touchdown, this time on a 15 yard run by quarterback Wade Jarrell. Saun- ders added the kick and the Blue and White led 2313 with 6:09 remaining in the third period. Jackson got back to its running game toward the end out the third and just over two minutes into the fourth, Kearns was in again. He got by the GAHS defense on a run left from 18 yards out to cap off the 10-play 52-yard drive. Down just three points Jackson carried the momentum form offense to defense forcing Gallia Academy to punt with 7:59 remaining in the contest. On the fourth play of the drive Kearns was gone again, giving JHS its first lead of the game on a 46 yard touchdown run. Voiles added the extra point and JHS led 27-23 with 6:40 remaining. It seemed that Gallia Academy was back on top after the opening play of the ensuing drive went all the way to the endzone but an illegal forward pass set the Blue Devils back to their own 31 yard line. GAHS bounced back from the devastating penalty and just four plays later Jarrell broke a 42 yard run for the score. Saunders added the point after touchdown and the Blue Devils led 30-27 with just 5:22 remaining in regulation. JHS fumbled away possession on its next drive and Gallia Academy looked to but the game to rest. After having a touchdown called back for a block in the back GAHS turned the ball over on downs with 1:46 left in the contest. The Blue Devil defense stuffed Jackson’s chances of victory on and GAHS regained possession with 46 seconds remaining after forcing a turnover on downs. The Blue Devils were in victory formation and a pair of kneel downs by Jarrell ended gave GAHS the 3027 victory. Jarrell led the rushing attack for GAHS with 118 yards on 17 carries with two scores. Russell finished with 78 yards on 11 tries with a touchdown, while Logan Allison had 22 yards on two attempts.

During the week-long event that included stops at each of District 10’s nine county facilities, inspectors completed a 150-point inspection on all winter equipment used by the department in Meigs and Gallia counties. Meigs County ODOT County Manager John Burdette said the inspections throughout the district are completed by the district headquarters mechanics, allowing them to recognize any patterns of concern between the nine counties in the district. Burdette added that the dry run serves as a way to get things in shape for the winter and for snow plow drivers and loader operators to get in the mind set of handling snow and ice removal. He added that there is a slim change of flurries as early as next week. Safety is always ODOT’s biggest concern, and the annual inspections help to alleviate mechanical problems that would otherwise potentially cause threats to public safety, as well as to the safety of the equipment operators. Jim Kemp, District 10 equipment specialist, stated that the inspectors are looking for any and all equipment deficiencies and are also responsible for checking all fluid levels on the vehicles. Snow plows are also inspected for any damage from previous years. Systems are calibrated as $200 million in wages and paychecks, according to the report. The report says snowrelated shutdowns affect hourly workers the most. In all, Ohio workers could lose more than $205 million in direct and indirect wages, according to the research. Ohio could also lose vital tax revenue — as much as $11.4 million in state and local taxes, and $15 million in federal taxes — in just one day. “We feel like we are in really great shape this year,” said Hendershot. “The weather man says snow is possible as early Photos by Sarah Hawley l Daily Sentinel as this week. Motorists can rest assured that In addition to the maintenance of the truck, snow plows are inspected for any damage caused by the previous years of use. ODOT will be ready.” to control how much of the salt, brine and other materials are distributed on the roadway in an effort to combat snow and ice and clear the way for passenger and commercial vehicles. “It is better to make sure everything is working properly now instead of waiting for the first snow and ice event,” added Kemp. In addition to getting the vehicles highway ready, ODOT must be certain to have needed materials on hand, as well as assuring highway technicians are well trained. According to ODOT District 10 Highway Management Administrator Jamie Hendershot, Gallia County currently has 3,700 tons of salt on hand, while Meigs County has 2,300 tons. Since last winter was relatively mild, the salt usage for the two counties was very low, with 740 tons being used in Gallia County and 750 tons of salt being used in Meigs County. Hendershot also said that salt cost is down significantly this year in comparison to last year, with Gallia’s cost per ton being reduced from $61.23 to $52.68 and Meigs’ cost falling from $63.60 to $55.87. Hendershot also said that all highway technicians, whether new to ODOT or veterans of the agency, participate in refresher training prior to the start of snow and ice season. The Meigs County ODOT snow plow trucks were inspected on Wednesday during the agency’s annual winter preparedness event. According to a report by the American Highway Users Alliance, if Ohio’s transportation system were to shut down for one day due to a winter storm, the total economic impact would cause the state to lose more than $300 million in direct and indirect productivity. If Ohio’s transportation system shut down for even just one day because of snow and ice, Ohio workers could lose out on as much Inspector Clarence Brown checks the tires on one of the 12 snow plows in the Meigs County ODOT garage. Inspectors thoroughly checked both under the truck and under the hood during the 150-point inspection. A line of trucks are ready for inspection on Wednesday afternoon at the ODOT garage in Meigs County. �Sunday, October 28, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Submitted photos Pictured are, from left, the members of the Gallipolis FFA Rural Soils Team: Cody Call, Scott War- Pictured are, from left, the members of the Gallipolis FFA Urban Soils Team: Jimmy Clagg, Elizabeth Ours, Jordyn Benson and Thomas Holley. ren, Briggs Shoemaker and Chris Elliott Gallipolis FFA wins state and advances to Oklahoma The Gallipolis FFA of Gallia Academy High School participated in the State Soils Career Development Event. The Gallipolis FFA placed first in the Agricultural use event and fourth in the Urban event. In the Agriculture Use event, students will evaluate four sites to determine the slope, amount of erosion, texture of the surface soil, depth of soil, and natural drainage. The students then determine the land class, land use and make recommendations for conservation practices. During this event, students will also complete a general knowledge test and a test over soil survey information for the selected site. The Urban contest, which consists of four pits and two written tests, tests the ability of the student to determine the management practices to be used in a construction setting. For each pit, the student must determine the slope, the type of land form, subject to flooding, subject to slippage, the texture of the surface and the subsoil, the seasonal high water table, the depth of bedrock and if there is a hard dense soil layer. The management practices determine the suitability of a soil to build a building with basement, type of septic system needed, roads and driveway construction, and lawn and/or garden and landscaping establishment. About 185 students participated in the Agricultural Use contest and about 180 students competed in the Urban Use contest. Five schools from each district in Ohio were represented totaling about 50 schools in each contest. The Ag Use team included Briggs Shoemaker, Cody Call, Scottie Warren, and Chris Elliott. Briggs Shoemaker was the team high individual at 1st place in the state. The Urban Use team included Thomas Holley, Jordyn Benson, Elizabeth Ours and Jimmy Clagg. Thomas Holley was the team high individual placing second in the state. The contest was held at Malabar Farms in Richland County, Ohio. The top three teams in the Ag contest along with the top four teams from the Urban Use contest will be advancing to the national contest in Oklahoma in the spring. Agricultural Education is offered at Gallia Academy High School through the Gallia-Jackson-Vinton JVSD. Harold Benson and Jerrod Ferguson are the Gallipolis FFA advisors.

Panel: Pregnant women, get whooping cough shot ATLANTA (AP) — An expert panel is urging every expecting mother to get a shot preventing whooping cough, preferably in the last three months of her pregnancy to help protect her baby. The advice follows a frightening resurgence of the dreaded childhood disease. More than 32,000 cases, including 16 deaths, have been reported so far this year, and 2012 is on track to be the nation’s worst year for whooping cough since 1959. It’s only the second time a vaccine has been advised for all women during pregnancy. Flu shots were first recommended for them in the 1990s. The new advice was approved in a vote Wednesday by the government’s vaccine advisory panel. Federal health officials usually adopt the group’s guidance and promote it to doctors and the public. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious disease. Its name comes from the sound children make as they gasp for breath. �Sunday , OctOber 28, 2012 Sunday, October 28, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 29, 2012: Charisma and intensity mark this year.

New TV series shows open adoption from both sides NEW YORK (AP) — Pregnant at 18, a high school dropout, Genavieve Diggs knew she wasn’t equipped to raise a child, but after surrendering her newborn for adoption, she nearly changed her mind. Under state law in Connecticut, where she lives, Diggs had 30 days to make sure the adoption was what she wanted. Such post-birth waiting periods are common in the patchwork of laws governing adoption around the country, in Diggs’s case an open arrangement where the two dads she had chosen had already agreed to grant her regular visits with her baby girl. The waiting period nearly melted her resolve. “The 30 days were just a rollercoaster of emotions,” she said in a recent interview. “I had just had the baby and all my hormones were going crazy. I had to struggle, to tell myself, you know, ‘You can’t take care of a child right now. You’re not ready. You’re not ready emotionally or financially.’” Diggs poured her sadness, longing and frustration into “The Baby Wait,” a new, six-part documentary series on Logo that focuses equal attention on agonizing post-birth waiting periods from the perspectives of both biological and adoptive parents. Mark Krieger and Paul Siebold, the Manhattan couple matched with Diggs, agreed to appear on the show to shed light on samesex couples who want to adopt. They were in the delivery room when baby Morgan was born and handed over to them first as Diggs lay sadly nearby. Later, after agreeing to the adoption but still in the 30-day wait, Diggs laments as she shops for baby clothes, camera rolling: “I honestly wish I could just take it back and be her mom.” She explodes in anger during a fight with her parents as the clock ticked, Krieger and Siebold already home caring for the baby. “It was a very vulnerable time,” said Siebold, who does public relations for a real estate company in Manhattan. “Genavieve, this is her baby, and she loves Morgan and anything could have really happened at that point. Thank goodness she had a certain amount of time to decide whether she was making the right decision.” Diggs moved ahead with the adoption after the 30 days passed and sees Morgan regularly. The show premieres with her story and that of Morgan’s two dads on Oct. 30, with other segments featuring other same-sex and heterosexual couples. The series, produced by Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, coincides with a heart-wrenching account of domestic adoption gone wrong in the October issue of Vogue magazine, headlined “The Long Wait.” New York writer Jennifer Gilmore chronicles her failed attempts to conceive with her husband and their two years of trying to arrange an open adoption, so their baby’s biological parents could be part of their lives. The difference: This story’s ending wasn’t a happy one for the childless couple. There were false starts with birth moms who chose other families, disappeared or decided to parent their babies after all. And there were many of them, including scammers looking for money. The desperate couple finally agreed to fly to St. Louis soon after a hurried contact with a woman who had just given birth two months prematurely and wanted to arrange an adoption. Holding the tiny baby hooked to wires and machines in the hospital, Gilmore and her husband, Pedro Barbeito, decided they couldn’t handle the newborn’s special needs and walked away, heartbroken. “In reality,” Gilmore writes, “there is no fairy tale. There are far fewer babies than those who so badly want them. And adoption, while often the best arrangement possible, is, by its very nature, about loss. Everyone is grieving.” Karen Vedder knows the loss firsthand. In 1967, at age 24, she surrendered a baby girl for adoption the old fashion way: knocked out cold during the birth, the infant whisked away at the hospital without so much as a chance for her to see or hold her, before Vedder even knew the gender. Reunited years later with her daughter, after raising four sons — one of whom is Pearl Jam drummer Eddie Vedder — she believes today’s prevalent open adoptions aren’t the perfect answer. Visitation arrangements often dwell in a gray area legally. If access is cut off or curtailed, it takes moun- tains of money for birth parents to fight back in court. And pre- and post-adoption counseling provided biological mothers is often skewed to favor surrender, said Vedder, who lives in Carlsbad, Calif., and is former president of the advocacy group Concerned United Birthparents. On TV and in movies, she said, “It just amazes me that we’re always these unsavory people who really don’t deserve to keep our babies. The sympathy is always with the adopting parents. If the mom changes her mind, nobody says, ‘Oh good, that baby’s going to be raised by his or her mommy.’ Everybody feels sorry for the couple that wanted the baby.” Openness in infant domestic adoption has become the norm, according to a report from the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. But such arrangements, with contact ranging from cards sent to biological parents once a year to regular visits, are often misunderstood by those outside of the adoption community, the report said. “In the case of open adoption, I think people might intellectually understand, but this show sheds light on the emotional and experiential level,” said DiSanto, “The Baby Wait” producer who with Gateley is behind such reality hits as “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant.” “This show sort of starts where most other shows would climax, so it starts with the birth and the handover, and the fact that that could change,” said DiSanto, himself a parent with his wife through a surrogate mother. “We thought to really tell the story the right way you need to have that parallel path and tell both sides. We look at this as being one way that a modern family is formed.” Come Nov. 1, Morgan will turn 1. Diggs will be there for a party planned by Krieger and Siebold two days later at the couple’s second home in Pennsylvania. Now 19 and about to earn her GED, she has no regrets but does have tearful moments of loss despite seeing her baby once or twice a month. “I’m in a great place,” she said, explaining that she’s back in touch with Morgan’s biological father, who now also visits the baby but is absent from the show. “It’s an amazing feeling that I still get to be her mother.” Norvin L. ‘Jack’ Carter Texas doomsday exhibit to demystify Maya calendar HOUSTON (AP) — Some might prepare for the end of the world by checking off items on their bucket list. But at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, curators are launching an exhibit designed to demystify the Maya and debunk the myth that the ancient culture predicted doomsday on Dec. 21, 2012. Visitors will walk darkened halls lined with pottery, jade carvings and blackand-white rubbings of jungle monuments, all tied in some way to the sophisticated Maya calendar. They’ll sit in replicas of large, mural-filled buildings that still grace the jungles of Mexico. And they should come away with at least one thought: The sun will rise on Dec. 22. “The calendar is there, and it will continue, so nobody ought to be afraid of what Dec. 21 will bring because there will be a Dec. 22 and, yes, there will be a Christmas,” said Dirk Van Tuerenhout, curator of the “Maya 2012 Prophecy Becomes History” exhibit opening Friday. Nearly every item on display circles back to the Maya calendars: complex, cyclical countdowns that helped an ancient people who dwelled in the jungles, mountains and coastal regions of Central America track crucial events — especially the rain — and build large cities, some with as many as 90,000 people. The exhibit takes visitors back nearly 3,500 years. Murals carefully reconstructed by Yale University depict images in the jungle monuments in Bonampak in the Mexican state of Chiapas — such as the Maya celebrating the induction of a new heir to the throne — all on a blood-red backdrop. Stone carvings and rubbings depict anniversaries and special events. Replicas of large pyramids explain how the Maya tracked the sun’s progress in the sky, giving ancient astronomers the power to know when the rainy season would begin and when to plant the corn. The exhibit explains the calendars through videos showing the wheels introduced by Europeans to wed the Maya count with their own, as well as Maya inscriptions and writings. It shows how the Maya calendars — while advanced and complex — largely focused on the daily needs of a society by counting what we call days, months and years. “So you could have time to get your festivals organized and your king ready to bleed and your sacrifices, so the astronomer actually controlled the timekeeping of the Maya,” said Carolyn Sumners, the museum’s vice president for astronomy, who helped create a 3D movie to accompany the exhibit. “The power of that priest and the power of that king depended on feeding these people.” The Maya did this with several calendars, each with a different count. The “ritual” cycle was 260 days long, the time between the planting of the corn, or possibly, the time from human conception to birth, experts say. They also had a 365-day calendar, similar to our own, and the two met once every 52 years, which also matched the average life expectancy of a person living at that time, said Rebecca Storey, an anthropologist at the University of Houston. The king, however, needed a “long count” to create a legacy, Sumners explained. It is this count, which begins with Maya creation and ends three days before Christmas Eve, that is the focus of the end-ofthe-world beliefs. This count is broken up into 13, 400-year segments, or baktuns. The last one ends on Dec. 21, 2012, and the ancient Maya believed that on Dec. 22 they would start counting again from zero, Storey said. The date coincidentally lines up with a rare event. In 2012, the sun will pass through the center of the Milky Way during the winter solstice, when it is at its weakest — an event that occurs every 26,000 years, Sumners said. This connection, experts believe, might be behind some of the doomsday scenarios; however, there is no evidence the Maya were aware this astronomical phenomenon fell on the same day as the end of their long count. “Most of the Maya scholars think it comes from the Christian West where the whole idea of doomsday and apocalypse is an important part of Christianity,” Storey said. “It’s mostly outsiders that have made that link that somehow the end of a time cycle can be a time of destruction.” The Maya ended their long count at 13 because it is, for them, a sacred number, Storey said. They believe the end of a count is a time of renewal, and this will be the theme of many of the modern-day Maya celebrations to be held in Central American cities on Dec. 21, she added. In reality, the Maya did suffer an “apocalypse,” said Sumners, but it occurred around 900 A.D., when the classic Mayan civilization collapsed. It appears years of drought had stopped the rain. “The reason it was such a catastrophe for them, such a collapse that they never really recovered from, it was that they overbuilt,” Sumners said. “They did not create a sustainable culture if the rains didn’t come, and that’s what we face today.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
