Adoptive father pleads guilty in child rapes
CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio man
accused of raping young boys in his care
has pleaded guilty to six rape counts
in one western Ohio county while still
facing seven related charges in another
county.
The 40-year-old man had been
charged with 31 counts of felony rape
in his home in western Ohio. Prosecutors say he had been caring for three
boys and a girl and has adopted them
all except for one of the boys, whom
he was in the process of adopting. The
children range in age from 9 to 12.
The Associated Press isn’t naming
the man to protect the children.
The Miami County prosecutor in
Troy said Friday that the man will testify in the trial of Jason Zwick, who is
accused of raping one of the three boys
who was in the care of the adoptive father.
Prosecutors in Miami County dropped
25 counts and agreed Thursday to recommend a sentence of 60 years to life
in prison for the adoptive father, who
could have faced life in prison without
the possibility for parole. Seven related
charges including rape and complicity
to rape remain against him in nearby
Montgomery County.
Nick Gounaris, the attorney for the
man, said Friday that one of the main
considerations for his client taking the
plea agreement was that “it will keep
his children from having to testify in
court against him.”
Gounaris declined to comment on
whether any plea agreement was under
consideration in Montgomery County.
Messages were left for the Montgomery
County prosecutor.
The agreement in Miami County
calls for the man to testify in the trial
of Zwick, scheduled for Tuesday, Miami
County Prosecutor Gary Nasal said.
Zwick, 30, of Beavercreek, and Patrick
Rieder, 32, of Dayton, were arrested
earlier on rape charges related to what
authorities say was the prostitution of
a boy under the age of 13 in meetings
arranged by the adoptive father. Rieder
was indicted in a Montgomery County
court in Dayton on four counts of rape
of a child under 13 after authorities say
the adoptive father brought the boy to
Rieder’s home and both men engaged
in sexual conduct with him.
Rieder was indicted last week in
Montgomery County on child pornography charges that include 49 counts of
pandering sexually oriented material
involving a minor.
Attorneys for Zwick and Rieder did
not immediately return calls for comment Friday.
Dinner
From Page A1
ments marked with humor,
Arnott spoke of change in the
Chamber operation, the need
to face the reality of today’s
economy, and the support
needed to move forward.
“We look forward to continuing positive momentum in
2013 with new ideas to help
foster a better business environment,” he said, adding
that none of that is possible
without the Chamber director and team work from the
Board of Directors.
Arnott described the
“Entrepreneur of the Year”
award as one given to “an
entrepreneur who has shown
tremendous growth in the recent past and has established
himself as a solid business
person in the community.
The plaque went to Matt
Stewart and Fox’s Pizza Den.
On July 29 Stewart opened
his business started in 2008
in a brand new building on
Main Street.
The “Economic Impact”
award, given to a business
in a refurbished or newly
constructed facility leading
to higher employment, went
to Family Healthcare, Inc.
which constructed a $2.4
million Meigs County facility
in the Rock Springs area. On
behalf of Family Healthcare,
Inc. the award was accepted
by Mike Russell. The new
health care building which
opened earlier this year after
operating a clinic in Middle-
port for the past several
years, provides affordable,,
high quality health care without discrimination.
The “Best First Impression” award is given to the
business that leaves the customer or client with the best
impression in the areas of
outer appearance, entrance
to the business and reception
by personnel. That award
went to the Farmers Bank
and Savings Co. for its new
office building in Pomeroy. Accepting the award
on behalf of the bank were
Paul Kloes, chairman of the
Board of Directors, Edna
Weber, Branch manager, and
Des Jeffers, assistant branch
manager. Farmers Bank’s investment in the new 10,000
square foot facility was $2.7
million. This year marked
the second that a bank has
won the award. Last year’s
recipient was Home National
Bank of Racine.
The “David P. Baker
Award” is given to an outstanding Board member or
community individual who
has supported both local
business and the Chamber
of Commerce. That award
went to Joan Wolfe who began her banking career with
Pomeroy National Bank in
1961 as a teller and continued through the years in the
Court and Second Street corner building through the sale
to Bank One and then Peoples Bank. She remained as
office manager through 2009
and then stepped down into
the role of business service
specialist where she stayed
until she retired on June 20,
2012.
Eric Gnezda, a singer/
songwriter described as a
motivational speaker and
performer, entertained the
group with a combination of
humorous stories and songs,
some of which involved
those attending the event. As
a word of wisdom he reminded his audience that “greatness is not defined by who
you are or what you have,
but by whether you are doing
the right thing, looking out
for one another, and reaching out to help each other in
your everyday life.” A keen
storyteller, Gnezda put forth
stories which conveyed in a
humorous fashion, lessons in
life. He talked about people
working together to help
each other, despite different
philosophies, to build better
communities where everyone wins.
The dinner was prepared
by Middleport Church of
Christ members and served
by Honor Society members
from Eastern, Meigs and
Southern.

Thank
You
Words can never express our appreciation for the kindness that was shown to our family
during the loss of our beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother, Virginia Irene
Bloomer. It was a complete gift to our family to have her one week less of 91 wonderful years,
and your recognition of our painful loss is truly appreciated.
Thank you to Reverend Stan Howard of Oak Hill Evangelical Community Church for all
of your visits and encouraging words for such a perfect service for our dear mother. Your words
about her and to us were perfect in every way, and helped us get through a very difficult day
knowing that her heart and soul truly shined through in your inspired words.
Thank you, also to Pastor Bob Isaacs of the Church of Christ in Christian Union for each
visit you made to our dear mother or to us. Time and prayer are the keys to healing our pain, you
offered them both to us. Your giving nature and unselfish ways are a blessing to everyone who
knows you. May life bring you a reflection of the kindness you have shown to others.
To all those who sent flowers, provided food, the many cards, phone calls, donated Bibles
in her memory, or came to the funeral home to pay your respects, we are deeply grateful and
humbled by your acts of kindness. Our Mother and our families are truly blessed with amazing
friends and family who are always there quickly with support anytime they are needed.
Thank you to the staff of Riverside Hospital, Holzer Clinic, and the Holzer Medical
Center for providing her medical care through the years. also thank you to the Willis Funeral
Home for your expert service and compassion extended to our family and friends during this
difficult time in our lives.
Thank you again for all the acts of kindness and all the remembrances given in memory
of our mother, Virginia Bloomer. She would have been very pleased and honored with these
generous acts of kindness and thoughtfulness. She was a special lady and a wonderful mother.
She will be terribly missed, but will be remembered for that warm, cheerful smile. A smile, that
if it was a star in the sky, it would light up the darkest night.
We will hold on to all of those wonderful memories, and let them be our guide during
this difficult time. It is hard to understand why our loved ones are taken from us, but we find
comfort in knowing that we were all a special part of a very well-lived life. God’s love will give
us strength and peace in the days ahead. We have no doubt that our precious mother is one of
God’s beautiful angels walking the streets of gold.
Miss and loving you always,
Your Children,

We want to thank everyone that made our
50th Anniversary a very special day for
us. We received so many beautiful cards
and gifts and thanks so much for them.
To be made Racine’s Hometown Hero
that same day was a special event. To be
made the heroes, we could not have done
the things we have done without all the
help of our groups and organizations and
are very thankful for the members of these
groups. To everyone that helped in any
way with our party, you are very special
to us. We live in a beautiful town with
wonderful people, who are so caring of
others and their town. God Bless each one
of you and please continue to help others
as you have helped us.

Letters to the Editor:
It’s time again to ‘fall
back’ … and
refresh smoke
detector batteries
Dear Editor,
Sunday, November 4th is that
time of year … time to change our
clocks back one hour and change
the batteries in our smoke detectors.
Having working smoke detectors
cannot be stressed enough. Smoke
detectors simply save lives. We have
recently witnessed their live saving effects in our own community.
The fire department recommends
having at least one working smoke
detector on each level of your home
and one in each bedroom and hallway. Interconnected detectors,
either hard wired or wireless, give
residents the earliest warning of an
impending fire.
With the approach of colder
weather, now is also the time to
have your heating system checked
by a qualified technician. Having
your system checked now can help
prevent future fire hazards involving furnaces. With colder weather,
some may utilize portable electric
“space” heaters or kerosene heaters. While these heaters have their
place, it is very important to use extra caution when using such heaters. Do not place portable heaters
close to any combustible material
and educate children about placing toys and other items close to
portable heaters. Do not use portable heaters when they are going to be left unattended or when
you are asleep. These heaters are
best used as temporary heat when
they can be monitored by an adult.
Anytime a natural gas, propane or
kerosene heater or furnace is used,
your home should also be equipped
with a working CO detector. CO,
or carbon monoxide, is known as
the “Silent Killer”, it is a tasteless,
scentless, invisible gas that can occur in any home at any time.
Carbon Monoxide detectors, just
like smoke detectors, are a small
price to pay for something that
could very well save your life, or the
life of a family member.

Gallia treasurer
outlines delinquent
tax payment plans
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to
inform landowners of their options for paying delinquent taxes.
Landowners may have been misinformed regarding their options.
This explanation will clarify any
misleading information regarding
how payments can be made.
Option 1: A five-pay plan which
takes 2.5 years to become current,
one-fifth of delinquent taxes plus
current one-half year taxes.
Option 2: A 10-pay plan which
takes five years to become current,
one-tenth of delinquent taxes plus
current one-half year taxes.
Extra payments can be made at
any time as long as your payment
is made for your first half and second half taxes. Any extra will be
adjusted at the end of the payment
contract. These payment plans
keep taxes current so penalty and
interest does not calculate.
Option 3: If you cannot make
payment on either of the two above
plans, you can make weekly, biweekly or monthly payments. I accept any payments the landowners
can make to get their delinquent
taxes paid. This option does not
stop penalty and interest.
The [Gallia County] Treasurer’s
Office is willing to work with any
landowner to resolve your delinquent taxes. If you have any further
questions, feel free to contact my
office staff from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday at (740)
446-4612 ext. 252.
Thanks for your time and consideration regarding this matter pertaining to Gallia County delinquent
taxes.
Respectfully,
Steve McGhee
Gallia County Treasurer
Gallia County Treasurer:
A sister’s request
Dear Editor,
The general election is soon approaching, and many of us will be
headed to the polls to place our
votes. These votes will be on the
national, state and local levels. It
is my prayer that all vote, which
makes our country, state and county better for all. It is also my wish
that the voters not rely on so much
slander and libel. This year it seems
to be worse than most.
Maybe it is because I am so
close to the election on the local
level, and especially the position
of the Gallia County Treasurer. My
brother, Steve McGhee, is seeking
re-election of this position.
Steve has been in the position for
many years now, and he has successfully run a tight ship during this
time. There are so many rumors,
both verbally and written about
him without facts backing them.
Steve has become a first-hand
advocate for your county. He is
your treasurer 24/7. His job never
stops. This I know first-hand. He
is constantly connecting, meeting
and traveling to keep in contact for
your county and for your state. The
people in Columbus need to know
we exist.
He runs his office with great integrity and honesty. He is an honest
person, and he cares for all. Steve
takes great pride in his position as
the Treasurer of Gallia County.
I am not going to write about
and defend the rumors, because
people that know Steve know the
truth. After all, it is a political race. I
am, however, going to agree to one
that has been mentioned.
Steve McGhee is no Bud McGhee. Well, you better believe he is
no Bud McGhee because our parents taught Steve, Vicki and me to
be our own person.
Steve has lived in Gallia County
his whole life and has never let it or
you the citizens down. We, along
with our sister Vicki, were raised
to give and take care of where we
live. Stevie, as I call him, deserves
another successful term as your
Gallia County Treasurer. Please do
not let him down.
Proudly for my brother and the
betterment of Gallia County,
Beth McGhee-Frazier
An open letter
to Mitt Romney
Hello Mitt:
We are informed conservatives
who have the courage to accept
the truth. The truth is that Ohio
Governor John Kasich has proven
himself to be an embarrassment to
the Republican party, the Tea Party,
Conservatives and Ohioans.
Please keep this and the following in mind the next time you consider having Kasich join you in your
campaigning throughout Ohio:
For keeping quiet about a child
molester, the NCAA fined Penn
State $60 million, took away future
scholarships, imposed a four-year
bowl-game ban, and invalidated
112 wins. Those who knew about
the child molester were fired, and
Joe Paterno’s statue was removed
out of disgrace. Lawsuits will
surely follow and people will likely
be prosecuted for Child Endangerment, Criminal Negligence, Deception, Cover-Ups, etcetera.
Worthington Christian Schools
(WCS) got caught harboring several child molesters during the
private school’s deliberate 10-year
Conspiracy of Child Endangerment, Criminal Negligence, Deception, Fraud, and Cover-Ups as
committed against thousands of
parents (including John and Karen
Kasich) and students (including
Emma and Reese Kasich). See the
web site ‘The ABCs of Betrayal’ at
http://ABCsOfBetrayal.com for the
overwhelming and irrefutable evi-
dence including audio recordings.
But Ohio Governor John Kasich
let that private school get away with
their crimes and the WCS administrators remain in power, remain
as a serious threat to unsuspecting consumers and children, and
remain as terrible examples to all
past, present, and future students
on how to treat your business customers and your fellow man. This
is disgraceful and needs to be investigated and those who are clearly
guilty prosecuted and imprisoned.
Thank you,
Tim Ball
Powell, Ohio
Resident unhappy with
Charlie Wilson’ record
Dear Editor,
There he goes again, Charlie
Wilson is telling tall tales and outright lies. The Ohio Election Commission already said with probable
cause that Wilson has lied about
Bill Johnson’s record. Wilson even
admitted to a newspaper that his
ads were untrue!
In recent letters to the editor,
Wilson and his supporters continue
to lie about Bill Johnson’s record.
Wilson’s claim that Johnson only
recently moved here, well, that’s
a slap in the face to every veteran
who has served our country. While
Wilson never lived within his own
district during his entire time in
Congress, Bill Johnson lived all
over the country serving our nation for over 26 years in the United
States Air Force.
Johnson is far more one of us
than Charlie Wilson ever was. Just
look at all the times Wilson voted
with Nancy Pelosi rather than
standing up for his constituents,
like Obamacare and the War on
Coal. Charlie Wilson, like Nancy
Pelosi and Barack Obama have no
record to run on and must resort to
lies and untrue statements to get
elected. We already fired Congressman Wilson once and we don’t
need to rehire him again on November 6. I will be supporting Bill
Johnson because he has been fighting for our area and will continue to
do so if he is elected again.
Dale Colburn,
Pomeroy, Ohio
Reader endorses Obama
for four more years
Dear Editor,
What a dilemma! Do we vote for
the party that created the disaster
or vote for the party that failed to
clean up the whole disaster in only
four years? Or, put another way
— do we vote for the party that
outsourced to Afghan warlords the
capture of Bin-Ladin, or vote for
the party that actually killed BinLadin using Navy Seals? Or — do
we vote for the party that pulled
troops from Afghanistan (the country that killed Americans) and sent
those troops to Iraq to fight Al Qaeda, where there was no Al Qaeda
— a country that had harmed no
Americans?
That folly drew Al Qaeda into
Iraq like flies to honey and allowed
the Taliban to reconstitute itself
and to become today’s problem.
Obama has ended our longest war
— one having a cost of $800B. He
is now ending the Afghanistan war.
Economy is moving forward and
optimism is growing. Automobile
manufacturing has been saved and
jobs are improving overall. The
housing market is making good
recovery and will steadily bring improvements to the economy. The
DJIA and S&P 500 stock indexes
have gained more than 60 percent
during the Obama administration
– 401Ks invested in stocks and mutual funds have done well, reflecting current investor confidence in
the economy.
Compare our situation to The
Great Depression beginning in
1929 and lasting into 1941 (12
years); recovery made possible only
by WW-2 (which began in Europe
several years before U.S. entered
the war in 1941). WW-2 provided
America the opportunity to supply
allies with huge amounts of war
machinery, thereby giving impetus
to U.S. recovery, without which
recovery would have been much
delayed. The choice is, therefore,
clear: With Republican Congress
approval rating at 13 percent, and
zero evidence Republicans earned
your vote: Four more years for
Obama!

Reader is concerned
about Medicare
Dear Editor,
As the son of elderly parents,
I am concerned about the future
of Medicare, and I am disturbed
about claims made by the Bill Johnson campaign. The truth is that
he supports vouchers,and, Charlie
Wilson does not. The facts are that
Congressman Johnson voted twice
for the Ryan Budget bill that would
turn Medicare into a voucher system. Check the record. Facts are
facts. Don’t be fooled by slick ads
paid for by out-of-state interests. Be
an informed voter. Our seniors deserve the preservation of their hardearned benefits.
Thank you.

Vote intelligently, responsibly for the common good
Paul Sebastian
The presidential election
is less than a week away and
each American voter has a
very important decision to
make. This is probably the
most important election
in history. How should we
go about making this decision? Obviously, citizen responsibility demands that
we study the background
and qualifications of each
candidate … his character,
principles, personal integrity, experience, leadership
qualities, etc. Is he willing to risk losing the next
election, face criticism and
opposition for the sake of
doing what is right? What
is his record? What are his
past accomplishments that
might indicate future success as the Chief of State
and Commander in Chief
of the military? Learn about
the candidates … newspaper, TV, internet, brochures,
etc.
Where does he stand on
the issues? Read up on the
issues, the candidates, the
debates, etc. Does he fight
fairly or with blatant attack ads that try to destroy
the person with little or
no basis? Do his proposals
for solving the nation’s ills
have substance or are they
simply vague generalities?
Is he honest and factual in
what he says in debates and
campaign speeches? Is he
realistic or is it simply pie
in the sky with something
for everybody, saying what
the electorate wants to hear
with no real commitment
to back up what he says if
elected? Is the candidate
REALLY interested in the
common good, in serving
the people, or is he mainly
interested in serving himself
for the power, the prestige,
and personal gain or wealth?
Where is he on the political spectrum? What is
his philosophy of governing? Is he on the far left
that tends toward outright
socialism with centralized
federal control and regulation; government ownership and/or control of the

means of production; a
dependence upon Big Government to solve our social
problems and achieve social
justice; mainly government
responsibility for helping
the poor in a welfare state,
sometimes at the expense
of individual and religious
liberty as well as traditional
values.
Or is he more towards
the center, a liberal who believes in free enterprise, but
tends towards the left and a
dependence upon Big Government to solve our social
problems and help the poor?
To what extent?
Is he on the far right?
That position tends towards
laissez faire with ownership
and control of the means of
production almost exclusively in private hands with
little or no government control against abuses such as
business corruption, exploitation of the worker and the
consumer, unsafe working
conditions, neglect of environment, etc. This type of
person wants less taxes and
less government spending
while being indifferent toward the plight of the poor
… “Cut these lazy people off
from welfare and they’ll find
work”.
Or is he more towards
the center, a conservative
who believes strongly in
free enterprise, individual
liberty, and the principle of
subsidiarity, expressed in
the papal encyclicals since
Leo XIII. That is limited
government which should
only intervene when lower
entities such as state and
local governments, the private sector, churches, community organizations, and
individuals cannot or will
not do the job. Decisions
should be made as much
as possible at the state and
local levels, businesses, and
individuals. The role of the
federal government should
be limited with less federal
spending. Nevertheless the
responsible
conservative
believes that Government
must control against abuses,
corruption, and blatant ex-
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.
ploitation of the worker. The
role of the Federal Government should be to facilitate
free enterprise and to assure
that it runs smoothly, help
small business to be able to
compete, foreign relations,
the military, etc.
How does each candidate
stand regarding traditional
family values … the Right to
Life, sexual morality, marriage? Which candidate is
more likely to make significant progress in working for
peace? A strong military?
Negotiations,
diplomacy,
and international cooperation?
While studying and reading about the candidates,
discuss the issues with
friends and acquaintances
on the left and the right.
It’s a copout to have the attitude: “I’ll discuss anything
except religion and politics”. So vote intelligently
and know who you are voting for, not simply following
family tradition, the Union,
the party, friends, relatives,
etc. An ignorant vote may
be worse than no vote at all.
The churches usually
do not endorse candidates,
but they do preach moral
principles as human dignity,
human rights, religious freedom, the sanctity of life from
conception to natural death,
marriage between a man
and a woman, social justice,
the common good, a preference for the poor, peace,
etc. Any voter or candidate
who professes to be a faithful Christian must profess
these principles. The question is: How do we achieve
these goals? Through Big
Government or through
individual
responsibility,
depending upon business
social responsibility, community organizations, the
churches, charities, and individual generosity? True,
the private sector often is
not responsible, but must
be constantly taught and
formed to be socially responsible as good citizens.
We are our brother’s keeper.

Will Big Government take

If we want to shove our
responsibilities upon Big
Government to help the
poor and want more government services, then accept
higher taxes. If we want
less taxes, then be satisfied
with less government services and accept individual
responsibility for helping
the poor and solving our social problems by more community volunteering and
charitable giving. You can’t
have both more government
benefits and less taxes. It’s
impossible unless the Government keeps increasing
its debt until the economy
is on the verge of a deep
recession and/or a financial
collapse which are threatening some European countries. Simply soaking the
rich is not the answer since
their investments provides
jobs and their charitable
gifts and foundations help
the poor. The affluent have
a tremendous moral and
social responsibility to not
only provide for themselves,
but also to use their assets
for the common good. After

Many Christian organizations, including Family
Research Council, 40 Days

the American Family Association, etc., are mobilizing
both Christians and Jews
to fast and/or pray for the
remaining days until the
election so that God would
enlighten the people to vote
for the best candidates according to His will … for
life, religious freedom, and
for the values taught in
the Bible. See http://www.

After studying the candidates, one may try to project
what each candidate would
do if elected and what results we could expect in the
next four years.

County Commissioner
During my term as county Commissioner I have strived to keep
my promises to the tax payers of Gallia County. I have created a
presence in the office establishing regular hours so that those
of you who wish to speak to a commissioner can do so. I have
worked as part of a team with the other commissioners and
elected officials to provide quality services to the county.
Four years ago I knew my job would be tough, the economy was
spiraling out of control and the state was struggling to balance
their budget. Overall, the county general fund experienced a
reduction of $804,919.01 in revenue line items.
As a commission we have worked hard to maintain services to the
county. All Departments under County General are mandated in
one way or another so therefore their budgets receive equal
consideration.
I promise to continue as I have the past four years , to be fair,
trustworthy and work hard for the people of Gallia County.

Steve McGhee —Candidate for Gallia County Treasurer
Steve McGhee, your
Gallia County Treasurer,
was born and raised in
Gallia County and is the
son of the late Myron,
“Bud” McGhee and Dona
McGhee. McGhee has
been married to Karen for
over 20 years, and they
are the parents of three
daughters. Amanda, age
20, is a student at Marshall University, majoring
in education. Jessica, 19,
is also a Marshall student,
studying political science
and pre-law. Allison, 14 is
in the eighth grade at the
Gallia Academy Middle
School.
Did you know that McGhee has a major responsibility of the collection of
various taxes? The largest
dollar amount collected
comes from real property
taxes. Other taxes collected by the Gallia County
Treasurer are manufactured home, inheritance,
hotel-motel, as well as
special assessments.
McGhee’s duties do
not stop there. Treasurer
McGhee is the collector and safe-keeper of all
taxes collected in taxing
districts such as schools,
cities, townships and villages. As the tax collector
for these various districts,
McGhee must efficiently
and effectively account
for all monies collected
in these districts in a
timely manner. Time is of
the essence, because the
faster the tax dollars can
be account for the faster
the taxing districts can
receive their income from
tax monies collected. Taxing districts operate from
the dollars collected by
the Treasurer, and McGhee receive all monies
collected by various other
county departments for
fees and keeps a record
of these deposits. Daily
financial statements of
these deposits are prepared and submitted to
the Gallia County Auditor. A monthly financial
statements must be prepared and balanced with
the Auditor. McGhee
redeems all warrants
(checks) issued by the
county auditor.
Additionally, McGhee
invests undisbursed funds
of various periods of
time which earns money
for the county’s general
operating fund. As your
treasurer, McGhee must
continually monitor investments and maintain
short term investments to
have enough monies readily available to pay current operation expenses
from day to day.
As treasurer, McGhee
must be a leader in the
area of fiscal management and accountability.
Accounting records must
be current and accurate.
McGhee works closely
with the state auditor’s
examiners when implementing new accounting
procedures or modifying
current accounting principles and practices to
enhance and progress in
the area of tax collection
accountability.
McGhee serves on the
Board of Revision with
the auditor and a county
commissioner. Taxpayers
who feel their property
values are too high have
an opportunity to file a
complaint with the board
and are able to appeal to
the board for property
value reduction.
Your treasurer also
serves on the Budget Commission with the County
Auditor and County Prosecutor. The Budget commission meets with all
taxing districts, such as
schools, cities, townships
and villages to establish
and approve pending levels. This Commission also
projects the revenue for
the county and submits
those results to the Gallia County Commissioners. Based on the Budget
Commission figures, the
county commissioners allocate those monies to the
various county offices for
their operating expenses.
McGhee is one of seven
members that serve on
the county’s Data Processing Board. This board
determines the necessary
computer need for the
county and its various
departments. The board
also approves or disapproves request form various departments on purchases of hardware and
software packages. The
board serves as the major
control over computerization of departments and
must insure that tax dollars are spent wisely to
meet major computerization goals for the whole
county.
Along with two county
commissioners,
Treasurer McGhee serves on
the Investment Board.
This board establishes
investment policy and
procedure for the county.
McGhee provides the
board with financial data,
investment instruments,
financial forecasting, current and future interest
rate schedules, and must
advise the board on investments that will provide the best return on
its monies, while keeping
safety and liquidity a primary goal.
McGhee, Gallia County
Treasurer, offers several
programs to the public.
One is the Real Estate
Escrow Program, which
eases the burden of the
large semi-annual tax bill
by allowing taxpayers
who sign up for the plan
to make payments of any
amount at any time over
a period of six months.
There is no service charge
and no worry about being
caught short when the
next semi-annual tax bill Steve McGhee

Point tames Tigers, earns 5th straight playoff berth
Andy Layton
Special to OVP
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. —
There’s a first time for everything.
Last year, it was the first time that
the Point Pleasant Big Blacks had
made the playoffs four years in a
row. The previous longest streak was
three seasons.
This year, the senior class rose the
bar one level higher. Make it five seasons now.
The Big Blacks cruised to another victory on senior night over the
Chapmanville Tigers 48-15 to clinch
yet another playoff berth.
The win ensures that the Big
Blacks will be in the 16 team playoff
field and will probably be playing
against Morgantown High School on
the road.
The Big Blacks had another big of-
fensive night, rolling up 526 yards of
total offense. The rushing attack had
439 of that total.
Senior running back Marquez
Griffin continued his tear with his
first career 200 yard rushing game
– carrying the ball 10 times for 203
yards and one score.
Other ball carriers included Chase
Walton (5-66), Aden Yates (7-61),
Tylun Campbell (10-42), Cody McDaniel (2-20), Cody Mitchell (2-18),
Teran Barnitz (3-17), and Cody Marcum (1-12).
Sophomore quarterback Aden
Yates continued his sensational sophomore season with another solid
night – completing 7 of 9 passes for
87 yards. He threw for three touchdown scores in the game – two to
Chase Walton and one to Brycen
Reymond.
Walton was the leading receiver in
the game with 2 catches for 53 yards,
both scores. Reymond had two grabs
and Marquez Griffin had two catches
for 7 yards.
It was another sluggish start for
the locals. Point scored the first score
just over one minute into the game
when Chase Walton ran in from ten
yards out. The Colin Peal kick was
good.
Chapmanville had a long drive that
lasted nearly seven minutes and ended with a touchdown when Dustin
Smith caught a pass from Max Spradlin. The extra point was good.
After that, it was no looking back
for the Big Blacks. On the very next
play from scrimmage, Marquez Griffin ran 70 yards for a score with 11:32
left in the first half. After a quick
Chapmanville turnover, Yates found
Walton for a 36 yard touchdown

Buffalo dropped its second

in the ratings race and will
be on the road for its opening playoff encounter.
The Wahama victory was
the fourth in a row over its
Putnam County rivals and

(15-21) — who set a

managed just 34 points
the rest of the way as the
Lady Wildcats finished
with three straight victories to secure a spot in
the semifinals.
Point Pleasant —
which had just three
match wins last fall —
had five times as many

rounded things out with
two points.

with eight kills and a teamhigh four blocks. Davis
added four kills to the setback, while Leach contributed three kills and Beth

and 97 yards on the
ground to pace the WHS
offensive attack. Crandal
Neal added 84 yards on
the evening with Trenton Gibbs scoring one
touchdown and passing
16 yards to Austin Cole
for another as the White
Falcons quieted a lot of
its critics that the Bend
Area team plays a weak
schedule in the Tri-Valley
Conference.
Wahama fell behind
by a 13-7 score midway through the second
quarter before Coach
Ed Cromley’s charges
exploded for 34 unanswered points for the
huge victory. The play of
the Falcons’ offensive line
experienced a phenomenal outing in allowing
WHS to control the line
of scrimmage and enable
the Mason County team
to rush for 331 yards on
the night.
Juniors Zack Killingsworth, Joshua Haddox,
Weldon Sparks, Tyler
Nutter and Wesley Harrison along with sophomore Benny Youkers,
sophomore Brent Larck
and freshmen Jesse Hesson and Clayton Sines
provided the White Falcons with the necessary
front line thrust to propel
Wahama to the crucial
regular season ending triumph.
Buffalo gained an early
7-0 advantage with an 11
play, 71 yard drive that
culminated in a 16 yard
touchdown pass from Levi
Jordan to Jordan Tucker
late in the opening period. Wahama answered the
call after gaining great
field position following a
41 yard kickoff return by
Roush to allow Wahama
to set up shop at its own
47 yard line. Nine plays
later Wamsley bulled his
way in from three yards
out with the senior running back also booting
the point after kick to
knot the score at 7-7 with
9:43 to play in the half.
Buffalo again began a
long drive behind Jordan
with the Bosons riddling
the Falcon defensive
seemingly at will. Jordan
connected on five consecutive passes for 62 yards
during the series before
taking the pigskin into
the end zone from three
yards out with 4:49 left in
the second canto.
Kane Roush then came
up with what was likely
the turning point in the
game on the ensuing kickoff. Roush hauled in the
kick at his own 15 yard
line and broke free down
the far sideline. Roush
juked the final Buffalo
defender at midfield and
rambled the final 40 yards
untouched for an 85 yard
kickoff return. Wamsley
added the PAT kick to
give Wahama its first lead
of the night at 14-13 with
4:45 to play in the half.
The White Falcons
would tack on two more
scores before the half
concluded with Wamsley
capping a 55 yard drive
with a four yard run at
the 1:05 mark. On the ensuing kickoff Austin Cole
forced a Bison fumble
with Crandal Neal falling on the loose ball at
the Buffalo 31. Six plays
later quarterback Trenton
Gibbs was not to be denied when he found the
end zone on a determined
13 yard run to extend the
Bend Area teams lead to
27-13 with: 16 remaining
in the half.
Wahama pushed its
edge to 35-13 following the Falcons opening
possession of the third
quarter. Behind the running of Crandal Neal and
Wamsley the White Falcons marched 69 yards in
seven plays with Roush
Tigers

score at the 11:02 mark.
Almost two minutes later, Yates
found Reymond for a 12 yard touchdown hookup, giving Point the 28-7
lead with 9:12 left in the first half.
Point would add one more score in
the first half with Walton catching his
second touchdown pass of the day at
the 4:39 mark to set the halftime score
at 35-7.
On the first play of the second half,
Marquez Griffin had another big run
but was taken out at the one yard line
where Teran Barnitz ran it in for the
score.
Chapmanville would add a score
with :01 left in the third quarter as
Brady Cox caught a touchdown pass
from Brandon White. The two-point
conversion would be good.
Point Pleasant added their final
score when Chase Walton ran one in
from 42 yards out. The extra point
was no good – kicker Colin Peal’s
going the final three yards
for the touchdown at the
9:16 mark. Wyatt Zuspan
tossed a successful point
after conversion pass to
Colton Neal to strengthen
the WHS lead.
The final score of the
night came in the final period when Wahama began
a time consuming drive
at its own 28 yard line.
It took ten plays to cover
the distance with Gibbs
tossing a 16 yard scoring strike to Austin Cole
for the final points of the
game and give Wahama a
41-13 gridiron win.
Jordan connected on 16
of 22 passes for 197 yards
for Buffalo with Laythen
Good grabbing six aerials
for 76 yards. Gabe Garrison caught four Jordan
passes for 65 yards with
Jordan Tucker emerging
as the Bosons leading
ground gainer with 59
yards in eight carries.
Nine Falcon gridders
completed their high
school careers on senior
night at the Bend Area
school with Brandon
Rickard, Benny Youkers,
Louis Mendendez, Zack
Wamsley, Austin Jordan,
Crandale Neal, Justin Tillis, Trenton Gibbs and
Austin Cole all performing for the final time in
a regular season football
contest at Bachtel Stadium.
Both Wahama and Buffalo must now await the

Knives are often overlooked,
but are very important
Jim Freeman
In The Open
about selecting a knife is to make it
match its intended purpose; you don’t
need a huge knife to dress game, but you
want one that fits your hand and is big
enough to get the job done.
With that being said, when I teach
hunter education one of the portions of
the class is about field dressing game. I
generally produce a small pocketknife,
with a blade perhaps two inches long, and
ask if it can be used to field dress a deer.
The answer is yes it can, the point being
that the sharpness of the blade is more
important than the size of the blade.
The main purpose in promptly field
dressing a deer is to prevent spoilage of
the meat; obviously you will need a sharp
knife for that purpose. When doing this,
be on the lookout for broken arrows or
broadheads; last fall one of the hunters in
my group shot a deer that was carrying a
complete arrow in its shoulder.
Other things to remember about
knives:
Never run with an open or unsheathed
knife.
Never try to catch a falling knife. If you
drop it, let if fall. This is harder to do
than you might imagine, it is almost instinctive to try to catch something if you
drop it, but trying to catch a falling knife
can lead to some nasty injuries.
Never use your blade as a screwdriver
or for any other chore for which it is not
designed. You can break the tip of the
blade, or ever worse injure yourself.
You are more likely to cut yourself with
a dull knife than with a sharp knife. A
dull blade may cause you to pull, yank
or “saw” with the blade, making it more
likely to cut yourself.
Never cut towards yourself.
A knife is a tool, not a toy.
Always give a knife back the way you
got it; if someone hands it to you open,
hand it back to them open. If they hand
it to you folded closed, then return it that
way. Always hand a fixed-blade knife over
handle first. Make sure the other person
has control of the knife before you release
it.
After hunting season, I usually sharpen
my blade, wash the knife in the dishwasher and oil it with vegetable oil or some
other edible sort of oil.
Here’s hoping that you and especially
the younger hunters in your group have
the opportunity to use their blades this
deer season.

One of the most overlooked, yet necessary, items in every sportsman’s kit is
the basic knife. Every hunter and angler
carries one, but they don’t get a lot of
consideration.
Some people form a bond with their favorite knife; they grow attached to it. It
is an omnipresent companion, almost an
extension of themselves - well-worn from
years of riding in a jeans pocket or on a
belt sheath, and well-loved.
I sometimes wish I had some really
heartwarming pocketknife story, but I
don’t. I am not that person, but I do confess to having owned some knives that I
appreciated more than others. There are
a lot of expensive knives on the market,
but to me a knife is simply a necessary
tool; an expensive knife is just tempting fate - you never lose a cheap knife.
Furthermore I am not convinced an expensive knife will do the job any better
than a decent quality blade, however I do
acknowledge there are blades so cheap,
so poor in quality that they are suited for
little more than sharpening a pencil.
For the most part I have been fond of
some of the Schrade knives, i.e. the Old
Timers or Uncle Henrys. There was one
I carried for years before losing it, it had
the simulated deer antler handles and
three stainless steel blades; and then I
had a lock-blade folder that I somehow
managed to lose as well. So perhaps my
personal knife experiences all revolve
around losing good ones.
My current deer hunting fave is a fixed
blade Old Timer with a drop point and
a gut-hook. I’m not sure they make them
anymore so I bought a second one which
remains in the box as insurance against
the day I lose my current one.
What I like about that particular knife
is the sturdy carbon-steel blade which is
thick and heavy, holds a good edge and is
easy to sharpen. Plus it just feels right in
my hand.
I am not a big fan of stainless steel
(except for “multi-tools” that combine
a knife blade with such handy tools as
screwdriver tips and pliers), and I don’t
like serrated blades, which I feel are difficult to sharpen - these are just my personal preferences, you are welcome to
have your own.
Like I mentioned before, a decent knife
has been an essential part of every hunter
or angler’s outfit since the first time our
ancestors started carrying around sharp
first miss of the night.
Chase Walton scored four touch- rocks. The perfect knife is hard to find,
downs on the night – two in the air and once you do it can be a friend for life.
One important thing to remember
and two on the ground.

Steelers-Giants game to go on as scheduled
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) — The NFL game between
the Super Bowl champion New
York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday will be played despite transportation and power
issues and growing concerns for
weary and heartbroken residents
displaced and devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
Commissioner Roger Goodell
spoke with New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie spoke on Friday
and Christie assured him that
game would not divert any major
resources from relief efforts.
Speaking at news conference
in Brick at the opening of a
FEMA office, Christie said only
a few state troopers are assigned
to the game and it was really a
decision for the NFL to make.
“If they are ready, absent any
change in circumstances, that we
should go ahead with the game
on Sunday,” Christie said, adding that during a tour of storm
damage in nearby Moonachie, no
one asked him to postpone the
game and a couple of Giants fans
urged him not to do that.
There have been 53 deaths associated with the storm in New
York and New Jersey and more
than 2 million people were still
without power on Friday. There
have been long lines to purchase
gas throughout New Jersey and
New York and power is still being restored. There will be no
rail service to MetLife Stadium,
the Giants said.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin
always felt the game would take
place, and believes his team will
be ready to lift the spirits of the
people of New Jersey and New
York.
“I think the mission will be
quite clear,” Coughlin said. “Trying to provide a few hours of enjoyment for so many that have
been devastated. I think they’ll
do a good job of that.”
The Steelers changed travel
plans because the hotel they
booked in New Jersey did not
have power. The team will fly in
Sunday morning and leave after
the game.
Coughlin said the Steelers’
decision not to stay in a hotel
overnight was “noble” because it
will give space to those who lost
their dwellings.
“When you look at it, it’s a minor inconvenience considering
what those people in New York
and New Jersey went through,”
Steelers offensive tackle Max
Starks said Friday. “You have
seven million people without
electricity, and a football game
pales in comparison to that. You
just hope you can do your best to
take their minds off such a travesty for a couple of hours by playing some football.”
Pittsburgh defensive end Brett
Keisel said the one-day trip is
nothing compared to what those
hit by the storm are handling.
“Not having power to go to
and from work, they’re really
fighting through it, so this is minor compared to what they’re going through,” Keisel said.
The Giants urged fans attending the game car pool and arrive
early for the 4:25 EST game.
There will be no train service
to MetLife Stadium, which nor-
mally brings some 9,000 fans to
the stadium.
Free parking and shuttle service will be provided from two
nearby locations.
Once at the stadium, fans
can donate non-perishable food
items, which will be donated to
the Community FoodBank of
New Jersey.
The Giants (6-2) are placing a
high priority on this game, and it
goes beyond football.
The team was given its marching orders Friday by Gen Ray
Odierno, the Army chief of staff.
A long-time Giants fans and
New Jersey resident, Odierno
toured areas in both states hit
by the storm, visited with some
of the 10,000 servicemen in the
area, then watched practiced.
He relayed his experience to the
players.
“Today I saw firsthand the
destruction in New York City,
and along the shore lines of New
Jersey,” Odierno said in a statement emailed to The Associated
Press. “I witnessed the Army,
city and state officials, and organizations from across the nation
come together. Both New York
City and New Jersey will look to
their team, the NY Giants, for inspiration. I told the team today
that playing the game to the best
of their abilities will show fans
their toughness, their strength
and their resiliency at a time
when they need it the most.”
Goodell will be at MetLife Stadium briefly Sunday afternoon
to meet with first responders,
then will fly to Atlanta for a previously scheduled fan forum.
The Giants have adjusted their
football schedule since the storm
struck Sunday, but many players
have had to live without power
at home.
Punter Steve Weatherford,
wife Laura and their three children, including a newborn,
stayed at the home of placekicker Lawrence Tynes and his
family. Guard Kevin Boothe, his
wife Rosalie and their two young
children did not lose power in
their home and hosted tight end
Martellus Bennett and his wife,
Siggi.
“I think everybody just kind of
texted one another to make sure
everyone was OK,” Boothe said.
“We were able to help Martellus
and his wife out last night. So
that’s why we’re here, that’s why
we’re teammates. It was great.
“‘My son (2-year-old Dante)
loves him,” Boothe said. “I think
he thought Martellus was there
solely to play with him, so they
had a great time. They were
painting and doing a whole
bunch of other things.”
Giants middle linebacker Mark
Herzlich understands some of
the desperation felt by those affected by the storm. His life was
thrown into turmoil roughly
three years ago when he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone
cancer. He missed the 2009 college season.
“I think it in some ways it does
because you have to start all
over,” Herzlich said comparing
the storm and his illness. “You’ve
basically put your life on hold.
You take everything, and it stops
in its track. You say, ‘Now where
am I going to go from here?’
“You lose your house, you lose
everything that you’ve ever had,
you have to put it in the tank and
say, “That’s it. That’s my life,” or
you can say, “where do I go from
here. How do I fight back?,” Herzlich said. “How do I regain my
possessions? How do I rebuild
my life?” I think that’s the same
thing that cancer patients and
cancer survivors have to do. If
they get a bad diagnosis, are they
going to let it destroy them and
defeat them or are they going to
take one foot and put it in front
of the other and fight back.”
Veteran defensive tackle Chris
Canty, who has been involved
in charitable work in New York
City, believes the people in the
area are resilient.
“Just understanding, when we
take the field on Sunday, hey, we
represent those folks,” Canty
said. “That was the (general’s)
message. It was a timely message and it was an important
message.”
Canty said playing for those affected by the storm is an honor
and a privilege.
“To represent the people of a
great city and two great states,
all our fans, especially with all
the loss, all the damage and destruction, just to be able to provide a sense of normalcy, even
for a couple of hours. They can
know their football team is going
to play hard and it’s going to be
tough, and fight. I think that is
important. It’s important for our
football team to understand.”
Impact transfers on the rise in college basketball
Luke Meredith
The Associated Press
Fred Hoiberg returned to
Iowa State from the NBA in
2010 and inherited a roster
in dire need of talent.
The
rookie
coach
brushed off the old axiom
that transfers were often
bad fits, bad teammates and
bad apples. He embraced
guys like Royce White
and Chris Allen, talented
players that many other
coaches wouldn’t touch because of their supposedly
checkered pasts, and the
Cyclones won 23 games in
reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time in
seven years.
Hoiberg is hardly the
only coach to jump on the
transfer bandwagon. It’s
getting crowded.
Whether it’s to restock a
thin roster, get an instant
boost at a position of need
or simply take advantage of
the increasingly transient
nature of college basketball, coaches appear to be
competing to sign transfers
more than ever. According
to NCAA statistics, about
40 percent of men’s basketball players won’t be playing for their original school
by the end of their sophomore year.
“First of all, you look at
the number of transfers
right now. When you get
guys that have had good
seasons before that leave
the program for whatever
reason, there’s a lot of interest in them,” said Hoiberg,
who has two more impact
transfers this season in
forward Will Clyburn and
guard Korie Lucious and
recently added former USC
team MVP Maurice Jones
for 2013-14. “It’s all across
the country….any time a
good player comes on the
market, there’s going to be
a lot of competition.”
Not everybody is thrilled
about it.
NCAA President Mark
Emmert announced last
spring the establishment of
a subcommittee designed
to work on transfer rules.
Suggested changes could
be announced as soon as
the next week. Spokesman Christopher Radford
told the Associated Press
that the NCAA has identified permission to contact
rules, the one-time transfer
exception and academic
concerns as the three main
areas to explore.
The NCAA on Friday
said athletes who want
to play immediately after
changing schools to be closer to an ailing or injured
family member must transfer to a school within 100
miles of the family member.
Any further changes
wouldn’t be in place until
next season. So for this
season, newcomers figure
have an immediate impact
across the country.
Missouri is ranked No.
15 largely because of three
new transfers from highmajor programs. Blue
bloods like Arizona, Louisville and Kentucky figure to
lean prominently on transfers this season.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski recently welcomed
just his fourth major college
transfer in 32 years — but
second since 2009 — when
Rodney Hood joined the
program from Mississippi
State. He will be eligible
next season.
For many schools, it’s
more about the one-anddone senior than the oneand-done freshman. Most
of those players can use
their final year of eligibility
somewhere else if they find
a school that offers a graduate program their old one
didn’t.
Former Connecticut center Alex Oriakhi is among
the nation’s most high-profile senior transfers. He was
eligible to play immediately
at the school of his choosing after the NCAA ruled
UConn was ineligible for
this season’s tournament.
The 6-foot-9 center
picked Missouri from
among a number of suitors, and second-year coach
Frank Haith likened him
to a “Christmas present.” Oriakhi joins fellow
transfers Earnest Ross
(Auburn), Jabari Brown
(Oregon) and Keion Bell
(Pepperdine).
“The time when we got
the job, we couldn’t sign
quality enough high school
kids I thought could come
help us compete at the level
we were playing. We were
fortunate enough to get a
couple of transfers to help
us balance our classes out,”
Haith said.
For many senior transfers, a move gives them one
last chance to impress professional scouts. For their
new schools, it offers an instant talent upgrade that’s
worth risking any shakeup
in team chemistry.
Arizona coach Sean Miller landed perhaps the most
promising senior transfer
around in Xavier’s Mark
Lyons.
It’s not often that a team
can instantly add a player
who’s been in three NCAA
tournaments and averaged
15.1 points last season, and
Miller jumped at the chance
to bring Lyons aboard.
“Adding him to our team
is very unique because he
is a talented player. But the
experience I described is
really difficult to put into
words,” Miller said. “He
gives us competitiveness,
toughness, and he’s been
in the arena in a big game,
and to me he is somebody
who knows to play both offense and defense.”
It used to be more common for players to transfer
to smaller schools in search
of bigger roles. These days,
there appears to be more
lateral and even upward
moves than ever.
Ironically, Iowa State
suffered from this trend
worse than anyone when
Wesley Johnson jumped to
Syracuse. He was named
the Big East Player of the
Year in 2010 and got picked
fourth in that spring’s NBA
draft.
Aaric Murray turned a
strong sophomore season
at LaSalle into an opportunity to join coach Bob Huggins and West Virginia.
Guard Ryan Harrow
jumped from North Caro-
lina State to Kentucky.
Not to be outdone by the
rival Wildcats, Louisville
brought in former George
Mason standout Luke Hancock.
Former McDonald’s AllAmerican Trey Zeigler,
who scored more than
1,000 points in just two
seasons playing for his father Ernie at Central Michigan, was one of 15 players
to get a waiver from the
NCAA to play immediately
at Pittsburgh after his dad
got fired.
The list goes on and on
— and it’s bigger than ever.
“A lot of guys maybe
aren’t happy with the situation that they’re in, so they
decide to find a better situation. I’m starting to see
that more and more,” said
Lucious, who transferred to
Iowa State from Michigan
State. “It’s basically doing
whatever you can to better
yourself.”

Falcons shock Rio volleyball in finale
Randy Payton
Special to OVP
RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande’s bid to close
out a perfect regular season home
schedule didn’t go as planned.
Notre Dame College dealt head
coach Billina Donaldson’s squad its
first setback in nine home outings this
season, shocking the RedStorm with
a 3-0 (25-21, 26-24, 25-15) decision,
Friday evening, in the Lyne Center
Lower Gymnasium.
The visiting Falcons won for just
the sixth time in 27 outings this season.
Rio Grande, which had won 17 of
its previous 20 matches, finished its
regular season at 20-9. The RedStorm
had won each of their eight home
dates prior to Friday’s loss.
Incidentially, Friday’s match was
also the only home event that Rio
did not play inside the Newt Oliver Arena. The match was played
in the Lyne Center’s auxiliary gym
as a result of the Giovanni’s Tipoff
Classic basketball tripleheader
being played in the Newt Oliver
Arena.
Rio Grande finished with a .200
hitting percentage for the match,
including a .063 figure in the third
and final game.
Senior outside hitter Whitney
Smith had a team-high 13 kills,
13 digs and three service aces in
her final home appearance, while
sophomore middle blocker Betsy
Schramm added 10 kills of her own.
Junior setter Kayla Landaker added
19 assists in the loss, while junior setter Kelsey Martin finished with 13 of
her own. Senior middle blocker Erin
Sherman contributed two blocks in a
losing cause.
Rio Grande returns to action next
Thursday in the quarterfinal round
of the Mid-South Conference Tournament at the MidAmerica Sports
Center in Louisville, Ky. The opponent and game time is still to be determined.
Cup leader Johnson on Texas pole, Keselowski 8th
FORT WORTH, Texas
(AP) — Jimmie Johnson
finished his qualifying run
at Texas with the fastest lap
on the day, then stayed in
his car while waiting to see
if anybody would knock him
off the pole.
It turned out the same
way it did a week earlier in
Martinsville.
When the Sprint Cup
points leader finally climbed
out of the cockpit of his No.
48 Lowe’s Chevrolet more
than 30 minutes later Friday,
after Brad Keselowski and
the rest of the field failed to
top his lap of 191.076 mph,
he was the polesitter for the
second week in a row.
“I was ready to get out,
and my engine tuner stuck
his head in and said, ‘Hey,
man, you’re going to be sitting here a long time this
week,’” Johnson said. “Oh
yeah, that’s right. I’m not superstitious, but I’ll sit here.
… It doesn’t mean anything,
but at this point in the season, you have to pull out all
of the stops.”
Johnson’s 29th career
pole is his first at Texas,
where he was the runner-up
in April.
With his win from
the pole at Martinsville,
Johnson regained the series points lead, by two
over Keselowski.
Johnson was the 20th car
on the track for Texas qualifying.
“It was a while-knuckle
lap. I can say I didn’t leave
anything on the table with
that one,” Johnson said. “A
couple of opportunities to
kind of lose control there,
but staying on the throttle
definitely kept the car pointed in the right direction and
blasted off a great lap.”
Keselowski was the
44th of 46 drivers who did
qualifying runs. His lap of
189.534 mph was good for
the eighth spot. He also
qualified eighth his last two
races at the 1-mile highbanked track, where he has
never had a top-10 finish.
It was the best qualifying
effort for Keselowski since
the 12-driver championship
chase started two months
ago. He’s trying to win the
first Sprint Cup championship for Roger Penske.
“We’re in strong position to control our own
destiny as far as the Chase
is concerned and having a
shot at winning it,” Keselowski said. “That’s really about all you can ask.
Certainly you’d like to
have a big lead, but that’s
not very realistic when
you’re racing the best and

competing against the

Johnson has finished
in the top 10 in 13 of his
18 starts at Texas Motor
Speedway, where all around
the facility are election-style
signs touting the top two
challengers for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship with three races left.
In April at Texas, Johnson
was the runner-up to Greg
Biffle, who will start his No.
16 Ford on the front row
Sunday after qualifying second at 190.382 mph.
Kyle Busch qualified third,
just ahead of Clint Bowyer,
who is third in the Sprint
Cup standings behind John-
son and Keselowski.
Kasey Kahne, who is
fourth in season points,
qualified 13th.
And Johnson was sitting
much of the time watching
everybody else during qualifying.
“I was just watching everybody go by and catch a
glimpse of the Jumbotron
over there and see where
they pop up on the board,”
he said. “I’ve watched more
interviews where a guy
climbs out of a race car to
a microphone, and just at
that point in time, they fall
to second. I didn’t want it to
happen. I knew I put down a
good lap.”

Browns activate
DT Phil Taylor
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ defense
got a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot healthier.
Massive tackle Phil Taylor was activated Friday from the physically-unable-to-perform list
and will play Sunday against Baltimore.
It will be Taylor’s season debut after missing
Cleveland’s first eight games after undergoing
surgery on a torn chest muscle he hurt lifting
weights in May. The 335-pounder practiced all
week and coach Pat Shurmur said Friday that
Taylor’s “ready to go” against the Ravens. Taylor’s return will help offset the loss of underrated
tackle Ahtyba Rubin, who will miss his second
game in a row with a calf injury.
A first-round pick in 2011, Taylor made 16
starts as a rookie in 2011 and made 59 tackles
and four sacks. The Browns have missed his size
inside, where they’ve had to use rookies Billy
Winn and John Hughes.
“It’s great to have Phil back,” defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said. “As of now, he’ll certainly rotate into the game. We’ll see how much
he can go. We don’t want to overdo it. He’s had
two weeks of work and it’s been a long season.
He’ll definitely work in, and we’re really excited
about seeing him back.”
Also, the Browns placed Brian Sanford on
injured reserve. He spent the first seven weeks
on the club’s practice squad, before playing last
week in a win over San Diego.
Defensive lineman Ronnie Cameron was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.
Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi practiced
all week and will likely play Sunday. He has missed
the last five games with a hamstring injury.
Reds OF Ludwick, RHP
Madson become free agents
CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick became a free agent Wednesday after declining his $5 million
contract option for next season, looking for a bigger deal after
his strong second half played a big role in Cincinnati winning
the NL Central title.
The 34-year-old Ludwick was the Reds’ top hitter while first
baseman Joey Votto missed 48 games with a knee injury, batting .340 with 12 homers and 36 RBIs. Ludwick hit .275 overall in 125 games with 26 homers and 80 RBIs. He went 6 for
18 (.333) with three homers, four RBIs and four walks in the
division series loss to World Series champion San Francisco.

Special to OVP
RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande jumped to a big lead
early in game one and pulled away late in
each of the next two games to post a 3-0
“Senior Night” sweep of Bluefield (Va.)
College, Thursday night, in Mid-South
Conference volleyball action at the Newt
Oliver Arena.
The RedStorm defeated the Rams by
identical scores of 25-16, 25-16, 25-16 to
win for the 17th time in their last 20 outings.
Rio Grande improved to 20-8 overall
and 11-3 in league play, moving into a
three-way tie for second place in the conference standings with Campbellsville and
Lindsey Wilson.
The Rams, who managed just a .149 hitting percentage for the match, fell to 16-21
overall and 4-9 in the MSC with the loss.
Rio jumped to a 12-6 lead in game one
and, after a Bluefield timeout, extended
its cushion to 19-7. The Rams drew to
within 21-13, but got no closer the rest of
the way.
The RedStorm grabbed a 4-0 lead in
game two, before BC sliced the deficit
to 13-12. Head coach Billina Donaldson’s
squad put down the rally, though, scoring
12 of the game’s final 16 points to win going away.
Game three stayed close for a while before Rio finally opened up a 17-13 edge.
The Rams scored back-to-back points after
calling a timeout to cut the deficit in half,
but the RedStorm scored eight of the final
nine points to complete the sweep and remain undefeated in eight home matches.
Senior outside hitter Whitney Smith
(Albany, OH) - one of three seniors recognized in pre-match ceremonies - had a
match-high 11 kills and three service aces
to go along with a team-high nine digs in
the winning effort.
Smith’s fellow honorees also figured
into the victory.
Defensive specialist Lauren Raines (Albany, OH) also had nine digs for the RedStorm, while middle blocker Erin Sherman (South Webster, OH) had nine kills
and two blocks.
Junior setter Kayla Landaker, who was
also honored because she will graduate
in the spring and will not return next
fall, had a match-high 19 assists and tied
Smith with three aces.
Junior setter Kelsey Martin added 15
assists, while sophomore middle blocker
Morgan Daniels and freshman middle
blocker Alex Phillips tied for team honors
with three blocks each.
Jasmine Morrow had nine kills and Cheznee Daily tallied 17 assists in the loss for
Bluefield.
Steffi Dutton and Colby Combs added
eight digs each for the Rams, while Amber
Taylor-Inge finished with two blocks.
Rio Grande closes out its regular season
schedule on Friday, hosting Notre Dame
College (5-21) for a 5 p.m. first serve.
As a result of the Giovanni’s Pizza Tipoff
Classic being played inside the Newt Oliver Arena, Friday’s regular season finale
against the Falcons will be played in the
lower gymnasium at the Lyne Center.

Brandon Stokley cringes
a bit at miracle catch
ENGLEWOOD,
Colo.
(AP) — Cincinnati Bengals
coach Marvin Lewis isn’t
the only one haunted by the
“Immaculate Deflection.”
So is Brandon Stokley,
the wide receiver who
caught the batted ball and
raced 87 yards for the score
with 11 seconds left, giving
Denver an improbable 12-7
win at Cincinnati in the
2009 opener.
Lewis, whose Bengals
(3-4) host the Broncos (43) Sunday, said, “Brandon
runs through my mind all
the time.” Stokley said he,
too, has bad dreams about
that play in which he cradled cornerback Leon Hall’s
deflection at midfield and
outraced linebacker Dhani
Jones into the end zone.
It was the longest winning play from scrimmage
in the final minute of a
game in NFL history.
When Jones started to
pull up, Stokley had the
presence of mind to tick an
extra four seconds off the
clock by veering right and
running parallel to the goal
line for several strides before stepping into the end
zone.
Although Stokley was
lauded as a heady veteran
for the savvy move, he admitted this week that he’d
do things differently today.
“I just kind of saw that
nobody was behind me
chasing me. I saw a guy
kind of give up on it. I knew
there wasn’t a lot of time
left, so I thought why not
try to run some time off?”
Stokley said. “And then the
next day, I kind of started
having nightmares about
it: What if I’d have gotten
caught? What if I had fumbled? What if somebody
would have hit me? I think
next time I’ll probably just
get in the end zone.”
The “Immaculate Deflection,” as it was immediately
dubbed, sparked the Broncos to a 6-0 start that season.
“Well, we got lucky, plain
and simple,” Champ Bailey said of that outlandish
touchdown, which came
after the Bengals had gone
up 7-6 on Cedric Benson’s
1-yard TD run with 38
seconds left. “Stokley, he’s
a crafty vet. He just made
a play. He was in the right
place at the right time.”
If his eyes had deceived
him, however, or he flubbed
the football somehow before scoring, Stokley would
have been more like Leon
Lett and not like Don Beebe, the protagonists in the
famous Super Bowl play
in which the Buffalo Bills
wide receiver knocked
away the ball from the Dallas Cowboys lineman as he
prematurely celebrated a
touchdown return two decades ago.
“I just thought it was
kind of smart to waste
some time,” Stokley said.
“But crazy things happen.”
Stokley saved the ball
and gloves, which he has
in his home office in Castle
Rock, Colo., along with
a couple of photos of him
and his teammates celebrating the implausible
touchdown.
All winter, that might
as well have been a shrine
to Stokley’s career, which
he figured was over after
a thigh injury led to his
release from the New York
Giants after two games and
just one catch last season.
Peyton
Manning
changed all that this spring.
The four-time MVP was
preparing for his comeback
after missing all of last sea-
son with a nerve injury in
his neck and he needed
some targets to throw to as
he worked his way back.
He dialed up Austin Collie, Dallas Clark and Stokley, whom he played with
in Indy from 2003-06, and
invited them to his workouts at Duke University,
where he was throwing under the tutelage of his college offensive coordinator,
Blue Devils coach David
Cutcliffe.
Manning promised them
Duke-North Carolina tickets, but only if they worked
out all three days with him.
“Easy sell. I mean, DukeCarolina is a bucket-list
thing for a lot of them,”
Manning said. “But that
was the deal: It was all
three days. It wasn’t half
a day here, or I can’t go
Friday, it was, you had to
throw Thursday, Friday and
Saturday for tickets to the
Saturday night game.”
Stokley began the threeday workout with no idea
how he’d hold up and ended
it thinking he might just
have a 14th NFL season left
in him.
“I hadn’t run in 3 months
really. So, I didn’t know
how my quad was going to
do, how I was going to feel,”
Stokley said. “So, I definitely wasn’t running full speed
that first day because that
was a big perk for me. I’m
a big Duke basketball fan
and so to be able to go to
that game was something
special.”
The last thing he wanted
was to pull a hammy or
tweak his damaged thigh
and find himself on a flight
home before ever getting
inside Cameron Indoor
Stadium. But after that first
day, he felt fine and then he
really turned it loose.

NYC Marathon off, Wade
donates to relief effort
Tim Reynolds
The Associated Press
The New York City Marathon is
off, and a marathon ride into the
city prompted Dwyane Wade to
help those still dealing with the horrendous aftermath of Superstorm
Sandy.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the cancellation of the
marathon on Friday, just hours after
insisting that the race needed to be
run Sunday as scheduled to help the
city continue recovering from the
massive storm. Instead, Bloomberg
said the “controversy and division”
about whether the race should be
run caused the change of plans.
“We cannot allow a controversy
over an athletic event — even one
as meaningful as this — to distract
attention away from all the critically important work that is being
done to recover from the storm and
get our city back on track,” Bloomberg said.
Wade had similar sentiments.
After questioning who was assisting the victims of the storm — and
why he and the rest of the Miami
Heat were even in New York to play
the Knicks on Friday night with so
many people still facing so many
difficulties because of the massive
system — Wade said he would give
the equivalent of his paycheck from
the game to relief efforts.
That gift: Roughly $210,000, before taxes.
“I just felt there were bigger
things to be concerned about than
us being here to play a basketball
game,” Wade said Friday, one day
after the Heat needed nearly three
hours for the 6-mile ride from the
airport to their hotel. “Obviously,
sports is things that takes people’s
minds away from things, but, you
know, I think there’s bigger things
that need to be done here in the
city.”
After the Knicks-Heat game
on Friday, the Brooklyn Nets will
make their delayed home debut at
Barclays Center on Saturday night
against the Toronto Raptors.
The lone NFL game in the greater
New York region also will be played
as scheduled on Sunday, when the
Pittsburgh Steelers visit the New
York Giants. The Steelers are planning to fly in for the game Sunday
morning because of a lack of available hotel rooms.
Hotel issues also were going to
affect the marathon, and some of
those registered to run on Sunday
were being urged to donate their
rooms to area residents whose
homes were either lost or damaged
— just so they would have a place
to go over the weekend.
Meanwhile, from Florida to California and plenty of places in between, the storm has been in the
minds of teams who weren’t even
directly affected.
The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to generate $150,000 for the
American Red Cross to assist Sandy’s victims. The team said Friday
it’s giving $50,000, and will match
donations of up to another $50,000
from fans.
“Although the devastation caused
by this hurricane was thousands of
miles from Southern California, we
consider the Lakers to be part of a
much larger community,” said Janie
Drexel, the Lakers’ director of charitable services.
Miami Hurricanes football coach
Al Golden taped an appeal this
week for fans to give to the United
Way’s storm relief fund. Golden’s
family has deep ties to the Jersey
Shore — one of the hardest-hit
areas in Sandy’s path — and his
brother Shaun Golden is the sheriff
of Monmouth County, N.J., which
was heavily damaged.
“We know friends that have nothing left,” Golden said. “So it’s tough
for everybody. … You can’t even describe it.”
The Minnesota Vikings and
owner Zygi Wilf’s family pledged
$100,000 toward the recovery effort, and NASCAR driver Jimmie
Johnson is joining with his Hendrick Motorsports team and primary sponsor Lowe’s to donate to
disaster relief for the communities
affected by the storm.
Lowe’s has made a $1 million
pledge, and also will match Johnson’s earnings in Sunday’s Sprint
Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway with a minimum donation of
$250,000 to the American Red
Cross. Johnson, who is the polesitter for the race, and Hendrick
will together donate an additional
$48,000.
Johnson and his wife, Chandra,
own an apartment in Manhattan, but neither of them was there
during the storm. The Sprint Cup
points leader said the building was
evacuated after the bottom two
floors were flooded and the main
lobby was damaged.
“It’s impacted us in a small way,
to many others in a much greater
capacity,” Johnson said in Fort
Worth, Texas. “It’s a wild, wild
deal up there. We’ve talked to our
friends and the experiences they’ve
had, and to know how many people
through Manhattan and all the surrounding areas that are dealing
with all the water issues, it’s a sad
thing.”
Also Friday, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball
Players Association announced
plans to donate $1 million to the
American Red Cross, the Salvation
Army and Feeding America to assist relief efforts. Commissioner
Bud Selig called it “a privilege” to
be part of such a contribution.
“Natural disasters know no
boundaries, and this one was a direct hit that affected many in the
MLBPA’s office personally,” union
chief Michael Weiner said.
On Thursday, the NFL and its
players union announced a $1 million gift, the same amount that the
NBA and its players union have
pledged. Also, along with Wade’s
donation, the Heat said they were
planning to make a donation to relief efforts.
Athletes were even some of the
first responders to the storm.
On Tuesday morning, USA Luge
athlete Joe Mortensen was on the
ice in Lake Placid, N.Y., 300 miles
north of New York, training. Later
that day, Mortensen — a sergeant
in the Army National Guard — was
summoned to duty, and wound up
helping evacuate patients from Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
U.S. bobsled team members Nick
Cunningham and Dallas Robinson were also called to duty. Like
Mortensen, they are Army reservists.
“I don’t even know the word to
describe the amount of damage
that was done,” Mortensen said.
“You could see how high the water
rose in certain areas. It was astonishing.”
A slew of high school and college
games along most of the East Coast
have been affected by the storm as
well, including many fall-sport playoff matchups.

Justice finally served
Gallipolis celebrates grand
opening of new Justice Center
Amber Gillenwater
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com
GALLIPOLIS — After years of waiting for a
much-needed new facility
to conduct the business of
the City of Gallipolis, employees of the Gallipolis
Municipal Court, Gallipolis City Police Department
and City Solicitor’s Office,
along with many other city
officials, gathered together
during the grand opening
of the Gallipolis Justice
Center on Thursday afternoon to thank those individuals who played a role
in the development of the
building that will soon become a permanent fixture
in the community.
Gallipolis City Commission President Jay Cremeens made opening remarks during a ceremony
held inside the state-of-theart municipal courtroom
and praised the work of
those involved with the
construction of the justice
center, including the work
of the previous commission.
“This is a project that
has been in the works for
over three years. I want to
thank the previous commission, who served before us, in getting the ball
rolling as far as beginning
discussions of the replacement of the old building
at 518 Second Avenue,”
Cremeens said. “So, the
previous commission got
the ball rolling, and the
present commission took
off with the ball and kept
running with it to what we
see today.”

The state-of-the-art Gallipolis Municipal Court is the jewel in the crown of the new justice

The city’s police force has now completely settled in to their new home in the justice center
located at 518 Second Avenue. In addition to several offices, interview rooms, a patrol room

and insignia of the United
States Marine Corps, on
Rick’s grave. This special
plate was later given to the
family as a keepsake of the
day’s visit to Fairview Cemetery. With open arms, the
Moore family welcomed
my dad into their lives
as if they had known him
forever, just as their loved
one had some 40 years ago.
The family now had a face
to put with the name that
had appeared in so many of
their late loved one’s letters
sent home from the War.
As the family shared Rick’s
personal, handwritten letters sent to them from
Vietnam, the late Lance
Corporal’s voice was heard
again that day as he spoke
of his dreams, his delight
at Ohio State’s Rose Bowl
win on New Year’s Day
1969, and most poignantly,
his friendship with fellow
Ohioan Joe Mingus from
Athens County.
The late Lance Corporal’s mother, who was in
her nineties at the time of
this visit, held my Dad’s
hand as she shared these
letters and memories with
her late son’s friend from
forty years ago. Before
concluding their visit, they
marked the occasion by
posing for a photo together. In the background of
the photo taken that day in
the Moore family home is
a fireplace mantel. On that
mantel, the family proudly
displays the military photo
of a twenty year old hero in
his United States Marine
Corps dress blues. This
hero was a son, a brother, a
United States Marine, and
my Dad’s brave friend who
gave ALL for his country.
This hero is Lance Corporal Richard A. Moore
(1948-1969).
I am sharing this personal family story with
readers today in honor of
my father, Corporal Joseph Mingus, recipient of
multiple Purple Hearts; in
honor of Lance Corporal
Richard A. Moore, recipient of the Bronze Star; and
in honor of “all who gave
some; some who gave all,
and all who are currently
serving”.

plished something that I
think you are going to be
very proud of and I can’t
wait for you to look at.”
The longest serving current commissioner, Jim
Cozza, also spoke briefly
about the sometimes arduous process of discussing
and planning for the new
facility at 518 Second Avenue.
“I believe it was worth
the three years we spent
arguing about what we
were going to do because,
I think, what we wound up
with is something that we
can all be proud of,” Cozza
said. “I think this building
will serve the citizens well
for many years to come,
and I am proud to have
been a part of being able
to put together this facility
for the citizens of Gallipolis and surrounding communities.”
In her remarks, Judge
Margaret Evans emphatically thanked all those
individuals involved in
the process of constructing the Gallipolis Justice
Center.
Evans spoke of the work
of Project Engineer Randy
Breech, project contractors Garrett Karr and Brian Morrison of the Kinsale Corporation, as well
as City Manager Randy
Finney.
“[Finney] came in and
worked just a little while
in that old building and
knew we could not stay
there. It was not stable
structurally, environmentally stable. He pushed
this through, and I appreciate that,” Evans stated.
“He’s been honest, flexible and wonderful to work
with.”
Also mentioned by Evans was her court staff,
including Chief Proba-
tion Officer Mike Smith
who worked closely with
Finney, Breech and Kinsale to incorporate the
needs of the court within
the construction plans.
Additionally,
Evans
thanked all past and present city commissioners
involved in the project for
their leadership and vision
in making the building a
reality, as well as the community for pushing the
commission to construct
the much-needed facility.
“I thank the community
for coming to the meetings and letting the commissioners know what
you wanted out of this
building, because it is the
community’s building. It
is the city, it is the court,
it is the police, but it is
everybody’s building,” Evans said. “The community
was behind us, and it was
wonderful.”
“This is as showy a place
as we have here. I would
not be embarrassed, as
matter of fact, I would be
proud to show this building to any other judge in
the State of Ohio,” Evans
said. “We have a showplace here, and it’s because
we all pulled together and
got it done.”
Randy Finney also gave
his heartfelt thanks to
former city manager Joe
Woodall who passed away
earlier this month. Woodall had been working as
the project coordinator for
the city.
“He helped bring about
this building,” Finney stated. “He did a lot for this
city no one knows about.
He was the man behind
the scenes. He knew a lot
about what was going on in
this city, and I learned a lot
from him. I want to thank
him also and his family for

Blake Shelton pulls off
surprise win at CMAs
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Winning the Country Music
Association Awards’ entertainer of the year is a top honor and
always counted as a career high point. But for Blake Shelton it
wasn’t even the most memorable moment of an amazing Thursday night.
“The Voice” star took home three trophies, including his third
straight male vocalist victory, but nothing compared to sharing
song of the year with wife Miranda Lambert. The pair wrote
“Over You,” about the death of Shelton’s brother Richie in a car
wreck 15 years ago. He said that trophy will always have a special
place in their Oklahoma home.
“For me as a songwriter that is as personal as I can get,” Shelton said. “So that songwriter award, song of the year award, it will
have its own shelf. It will have spotlights on it and an alarm and
everything. Trip wires and there will be a land mine if you walk
towards it. It is a real big deal to Miranda and I.”
Shelton’s entertainer win was the biggest surprise of a night
full of them. Even he couldn’t believe he’d won the award in a field
that included Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and
Brad Paisley.
“I didn’t think about that tonight. I was thinking there’s Taylor
Swift right there,” he said of the two-time entertainer of the year.
“Really, this is pretty dumb that there’s anyone else even nominated.”
The reality, though, is Shelton capped one of the most impressive career reboots in country music history with the win. About
three years ago, he was searching for a hit or a gimmick that
might return him to the top of the charts, without much luck. He
scored a novelty hit with Trace Adkins called “Hillbilly Bone,” began a run of hits and then joined “The Voice” in a move that made
him an instant celebrity outside the country world.
He hasn’t sold as many records as Swift, whose “Red” just
moved 1.2 million copies in its first week, or as many concert
tickets as Chesney or Aldean. But his leading-man looks, wicked
sense of humor, Twitter presence and mellow baritone have made
him one of country’s top stars.
Justice

thanked Gallipolis Municipal Court Judge Margaret
Evans who has greatly assisted the city in paying
for the construction of
the approximately 12,000
square-foot structure.
“We owe Judge Margaret Evans a considerable
amount of praise,” he said.
“Through the generosity of
the judge — through her
court fees and court costs,
she is a very frugal person
— she was able to save
massive amounts of dollars
that she, herself, put into
this facility. It would not be
as functional, and it would
not be as nice as it today
if it wasn’t for you, Judge,
and I appreciate you.”
Cremeens, who served
on the Gallipolis Police Department as a patrolmen in
the late 1970s, also spoke
of the exemplary work of
those officers who work in
the City of Gallipolis and
occupy one portion of the
new building.
“There are so many
things these guys do that
we don’t know about,” he
said. “They are long-deserved of what they have
here in this police department.”
Patrolman Jamie Bartels, who was present at
Thursday’s ceremony, was
also recognized by Cremeens as an example of
the men and women who
serve their community as
officers of the law.
Bartels was severely
wounded in the line of
duty at the end of September and is currently recovering from his injuries.
“I pray for him every
day, and I ask that each
of you pray for him every
day. He’s got a long way to
go with his recovery,” Cre-
meens said. “He’s served
our community well.”
While continuing to
speak about the police department, Cremeens also
recognized the work of
the late John Taylor who,
during his service to the
community, worked as the
police chief, as a captain
on the fire department, as
well as a city commissioner. A plaque in commemoration of Taylor is in place
by the flag pole at the new
facility.
Additionally, Cremeens
also recognized former
police chief Joe Owens,
who was in attendance on
Thursday, as well as the
late Steve Wilson, who
also served with Cremeens
on the police force.
Also recognized was David Poling who died in the
line of duty in May 2007.
Poling had served as a Gallipolis Municipal Court
Probation Officer, a Gallipolis City Police Officer
and a Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputy.
“We honor those guys
today and people like Jamie Bartels who about
lost his life serving our
community,” he said. “We
thank you all, and this is a
building owned by the citizens of Gallipolis. We hope
it stands the test of time.”
City Commission Vicepresident Steve Wallis also
spoke briefly on Thursday’s open house at the
justice center.
“I just want to thank everybody for working with
us. It was a community effort. This is not something
that just the five commissioners did, along with the
manager and everyone just
in the city departments
themselves,” he commented. “It was a community
effort, and we’ve accom-
A color guard comprised of the officers of the Gallipolis Police
Department raised a flag donated by the Gallipolis Neighborhood Watch above the justice center during Thursday’s ceremony. The guard, led by Lt. Matt Champlin, included Ptl. Scott
Adkins, Ptl. Adam Holcomb, Ptl. Andrew Holcomb, Ptl. Shallon
Schuldt, Ptl. Justin Rice, along with Ptl. Mark Still performing as the snare drummer. Gallia Academy High School band
member Michael Moore performed “Taps.”
what they did for us.”
Among the last to speak
was Police Chief Clint Patterson who commented
briefly about the reality
of the new facility and the
length of time those who
have served the city have
been looking forward to inhabiting the well-deserved
building.
“Twenty-six years ago,
I came to the Gallipolis
Police Department as a reserve officer. On the day I
was sworn in as a reserve
officer, Joe Owens was
the chief of police and he
was there to swear me
in. After we were done,
he went to his desk and
pulled out a set of plans
and said, ‘they haven’t
given final approval yet
for this, but we are going to get a new city
building in the next few
years,’” Patterson said to
chuckles from those in
attendance. “He told me,
‘wait, we’re going to be
in a great place.’ Well, I
think that’s happened. It
took a little longer than
he envisioned. It has
been a long journey.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
Nov. 5, 2012:
This year your family and love life
become even higher priorities. You set
the tone in everyday situations, and
you’ll be a role model to others. Your
ideas will be deemed good for the most
part. Sometimes you might want more
privacy, but because of your increasing
popularity, this could become a burden.
If you are single, you manage to meet
people with ease, and you could meet
someone of significance this year.
If you are attached, do your best to
include your significant other in a few
of your many activities. LEO likes your
mysterious ways.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Your sharpness and ingenuity are increasing multifold. Your
communication style also excels, as
you seem to say the right words at the
right time. You often might find yourself
stumbling into brainstorming situations.
Tonight: Ever playful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Know what you want regarding a personal matter. Try to clear up
problems, hassles and misunderstandings by noon. You might want to know
more of what is happening behind the
scenes with a child. Ask the right questions, and everything will come out.
Tonight: Stay centered.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You have a lot to say,
and you will say just that. Investigate
your alternatives more thoroughly.
You might be quite verbal once you
grasp the depth of an issue. Perhaps
the wise action would be to say little
until you are entirely sure of yourself.
Tonight: Talk up a storm.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Use the morning well, when
you are a powerhouse and feel close
to invincible. You could be overserious
and not willing to take a risk. The unexpected works for you — just remember
to slow down if you become upset.
Tonight: Treat time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Honor your desires, and
remain sure of yourself. Someone
could push you beyond your limits.
Incoming news opens your eyes to a
different perspective. The words of an
expert or someone in the know will surprise you. Tonight: All smiles.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Use the daylight hours to the
max in order to accomplish tasks that
involve others. Be aware of your innate
limits. You might want to understand
more. Pull back and listen. You could
be surprised by how much is revealed.
Tonight: Have a chat with a friend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Zero in on what you want,
whether it is professionally or personally. You’ll want to take care of your
finances, so try not to get overcommitted. A risk at this point could backfire.
You might feel centered, until someone
acts in a strange manner. Tonight:
Where your friends are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Take a stand and remain
secure when dealing with others who
you believe have more experience
and/or knowledge than you. You could
feel quite jittery about everything that
is happening. You might feel as if an
obstacle is in your way. Tonight: A
force to be dealt with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Keep reaching out to
someone at a distance. A conversation
in the morning points to how important
this person is to you. He or she understands you better than many people
do in your life. An important discussion
could occur as a result. Tonight: Where
there is music.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You finally can relate to
one person directly and discuss your
authentic feelings; now you both can
drop the act. A friend or loved one continues to jolt you with his or her behavior. Know that this individual might be
coming from a slightly depressed perspective. Tonight: Where your friends
are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Let others seek you out —
that is, if you have enough patience.
You will hear much more if you allow
them to initiate interactions instead
of you. Though you might have a
naysayer very near to you, just ignore
this person. Tonight: Say “yes” to an
invitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Your creativity dominates the
morning, while your concentration rules
the evening. If you can blend the two
together, you will succeed. What you
accomplish as a result could be awesome and unusual. You might decide
to go off and choose a fun happening.
Tonight: Not in the mood to stop.

AAA7: November is Family Caregiver Month
OHIO VALLEY — National Family Caregiver
Month is observed every
November around the
world to draw attention
to the many challenges
facing family caregivers,
to advocate for public
policy to address family
caregiver issues, and to
raise awareness about the
community programs that
support family caregivers. The first presidential
proclamation to promote
the celebration of family
caregivers began in 1997,
and every year since then,
a proclamation has been
issued to express appreciation for caregivers. Day in
and day out, more than 65
million family caregivers
in the United States fulfill
this vital role. Today, family caregivers are supporting our entire healthcare
system by providing more
than 80 percent of all
homecare services.

Disney unlikely to change ‘Star Wars’ brand
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Naysayers
would have you believe Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm can only mean one
thing: Bambi and Mickey Mouse are
sure to appear in future “Star Wars”
movies taking up lightsabers against
the dark side of the Force.
Not so, say experts who’ve watched
Disney’s recent acquisition strategy
closely. If anything, The Walt Disney
Co. has earned credibility with diehard fans by keeping its fingerprints
off important film franchises like those
produced by its Marvel Entertainment
and Pixar divisions.
“They’ve been pretty clearly handsoff in terms of letting the creative
minds of those companies do what they
do best,” says Todd Juenger, an analyst
with Bernstein Research. “Universally,
people think they pulled it off.”
Though the Walt Disney Co. built its
reputation on squeaky clean family entertainment, its brand today is multifaceted. Disney, of course, started as an
animation studio in 1923 with characters such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit,
Steamboat Willie and Mickey Mouse.
Over the years, the company ventured
into live action movies, opened theme
parks, launched a fleet of cruise ships
and debuted shows on TV.
By way of acquisitions over the last
few decades, it has ballooned into a
company with $40.9 billion in annual
revenue and a market value of $88
billion. Disney bought Capital Cities/
ABC in 1995 for $19 billion, Pixar for
$7.4 billion in 2006, Marvel for $4.2
billion in 2009 and this week, it said it
will purchase Lucasfilm and the “Star
Wars” franchise for $4.05 billion.
Disney’s acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in 2009 offers the best example of how it might treat Lucasfilm
and the “Star Wars” universe.
Marvel was in the midst of a storyline that would span several films
following the smash hit success of its
first self-produced movie, “Iron Man,”
Satterfield-Tucker
engagement
in 2008. When Disney bought it a year
later, it continued reading from the
comic book giant’s playbook, releasing in subsequent years “Iron Man
2,” ”Thor,” ”Captain America” and
then this year, “The Avengers,” which
brought heroes from those movies together in one giant film that grossed
$1.5 billion at the box office.
Now, “Avengers” director Joss
Whedon is working on the sequel and
developing a Marvel-based TV series
for Disney-owned ABC.
Rick Marshall, a journalist and blogger who writes about the comic book
and movie industries, was skeptical
when Disney bought Marvel. But his
doubts quickly melted when it was
clear Disney wouldn’t taint the Marvel
universe by getting too involved.
“I was the first one to say there’s
going to be a Goofy-Wolverine crossover,” Marshall said. “We haven’t seen
that… Disney was able to step away.”
Recent history ought to assuage
“Star Wars” fans who fear the Disney
empire. But that hasn’t stopped many
of them from posting an array of video
and pictorial mash-ups and jokes online as they poke fun at their darkest
fears: Luke Skywalker staring into the
distance at a mouse-eared sun and
Darth Vader telling Donald Duck that
he’s his father.
What Disney did with Marvel was
merely amplify its presence in theme
parks, stores and theaters, observers
say.
Disney’s formula for success with
Marvel was not to tamper with storylines, but to bring the existing franchise under its corporate umbrella.
Before it was acquired, Marvel paid
Paramount Pictures a percentage of
movie ticket sales to advertise its movies, make film prints and get them into
theaters. Disney has those capabilities,
so now that money doesn’t go out the
door. Disney also has a worldwide network of staff that help put Marvel toys
on store shelves, expanding their reach
and saving the money that Marvel
used to pay third-party merchandise
middlemen.
Owning Marvel also gives Disney a
steady flow of super hero cartoons for
its pay TV channel, Disney XD. These
kind of logistical savings allow Disney
to profit from ownership while not interfering in the creative process.
“Marvel does seem like it’s running
pretty independently and staying pretty close to its roots,” said Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible.
Disney’s recent acquisitions have
also filled gaps in its creative portfolio.
CEO Bob Iger has said the company’s
$7.4 billion purchase of Pixar in 2006
was partly an investment in talent and
a way to “grow and improve Disney animation.” The deal brought John Lasseter, a former Disneyland employee,
back into the fold as its chief creative
officer of both Disney and Pixar’s animation studios.
The purchase of Marvel helped Disney add characters that would resonate
with boys at a time when the company
was becoming known more for princesses, fairies and its fictional teenage
rock star Hannah Montana.
The “Star Wars” franchise fills a hole
in Disney’s live-action portfolio, which
suffered an embarrassing $200 million
loss on the sci-fi flick “John Carter”
earlier this year. The box-office bomb
caused an executive shuffle at the
studio that brought in former Warner Bros. president Alan Horn, who
oversaw the hugely successful runs of
“Harry Potter” and “The Dark Knight”
movies.
It’s in Disney’s best interest to maintain the integrity of film franchises that
come with a built-in fan base. Disney
chief Iger has said the plan is for “Star
Wars” live-action movies to replace
others that may be in development,
and to keep its production slate at a
modest 7 to 10 movies per year.

Hurricane Sandy
washes away much
of ‘Jersey Shore’ town
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — The waterfront rides on Casino Pier are gone, swallowed by the sea. A roller coaster bobs lazily in
the waves. Sand, leaves and debris choke roads
lined with houses that rest on their sides.
The barrier island home to Seaside Heights
and other communities where legions of vacationers from New Jersey and beyond made summer memories is a scene of devastation days after superstorm Sandy’s surge enveloped it.
Seaside Heights, where families have walked
the boardwalk, eaten fried dough and ridden
amusement park rides for generations, is in
ruins. The boardwalk made famous by MTV’s
hit reality show “Jersey Shore” has been destroyed, with parts of it sticking straight up.
Sand pushed up from the beach fills the road
parallel to it.
The rides at Casino Pier, a waterfront amusement park, vanished under the Atlantic Ocean’s
power. A roller coaster from the Funtown Pier
sat in the ocean. Roofs were ripped off houses,
and utility poles were snapped in two, with
their power lines tangled like shoelaces.
The house where the “Jersey Shore” cast
lived appeared to avoid any damage. But elsewhere on the island — technically a long, narrow peninsula — boats had been tossed like
toys, resting atop houses and cars. One lay next
to a motel.
About 300 people have been taken off the island since the storm passed, public safety officials said. About 70 remain and will be ordered
to leave and not allowed to return to the island
until at least the weekend.
“We have to get everyone off the island
because there is total devastation,” Seaside
Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd said
Wednesday at a news conference.
In Ortley Beach, a section of the community
of Toms River, sinkholes swallowed roads, roofs
caved in and homes lay on their sides, separated from passable roads by pools of water.
