REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Proposed cuts to state funding for county departments of Job and Family Services could have farreaching effects locally, but local officials are holding their breath until a state budget is actually approved. Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle said Friday commissioners hope to join Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe in a trip next week to Columbus, to meet with economic development leaders and legislators. One of the topics they hope to discuss is how to maintain a local economic development pro- gram with limited resources and dwindling state support. County Commissioners set aside $50,000 annually for the operation of their economic development office, overseen by Director Perry Varnadoe. Those funds come from the county’s Temporary Assistance to Needy Families allocation. TANF is expected to see a 28 percent cut if the proposed state budget is approved. The state plans to lose $80 million in TANF money next year due to a loss in federal stimulus funding and penalties imposed by the federal government.

This year’s bereavement camp to be held June 17-18 will be held at the Ohio Valley Christian Assembly near Darwin in Meigs County. The goal of the overnight camp, according to Amber Johnson, director of Senior Services for Holzer Hospice and coordinator of the event, will be to provide a variety of fun activities for the children and young adults who have all experienced the death of a beloved family member, friend or pet.

Nathan Harvey, who was selected in December 2009 by his peers as deputy of the year, will now be serving the county as a detective, supplementing the efforts of the investigations department. “The promotion of Detective Nathan Harvey is a much needed asset to the Sheriff’s Office,” Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning commented. “It brings our total detective staff to three full-time and one part-time personnel.

Local officials are not sounding a loud alarm yet about how these cuts could effect their economic development arm, but the county, partly due to state cuts already made and others proposed, has no money to spare. For the first time in several years, there have been hints of departmental budget cuts and even layoffs if budget trends continue. The proposed budget, in addition to significant cuts in DJFS programs, also includes 25 percent cuts in local government revenue for two years. That Local Government Fund money is paid into the county’s general fund to offset county government operating expenses. “It is important to keep in mind that the budget as it is proposed may be nothing like that which is ultimately passed in May,” Varnadoe said. Other proposed DJFS cuts include a 15-percent cut in child support enforcement funding, 10 percent for income maintenance, 10 percent in social services, 10 percent in child, family, and adult programs, and 10 percent in adult protective services. In addition to allocating TANF money for economic development, the county also sets aside $25,000 in general fund money each year for its tourism office, which maintains a website, prints and distributes a visitor’s guide, and otherwise promotes visitors to the county. A part-time tourism director is paid through that appropriation, and he also serves as the chamber of commerce’s director, under contract. worker. According to Johnson, the children attending, age 6 to 15 coming from Meigs, Gallia, Jackson and Athens Counties, will many times be from homes where a Hospice worker has assisted with the care of a parent or other relative. Referrals are also taken from family members, friends, churches or community organizations. At last year’s camp 15 children attended. This year Johnson said the hope is for 30. While planning for Camp Beaver is still underway, Johnson said there will be a variety of activities including scavenger hunts, games, and even swimming. Registration will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 17, and a closing ceremony with parents invited will take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Volunteers to work in the program are needed since the goal is to have one volunteer for every child “so that they have a friend.” Johnson said that organizations and schools will be contacted to solicit volunteers for Camp Beaver which is supported through grants and donations. For additional information or an application to attend Camp Beaver contact Johnson at 740-441-3406 or johnsona@holzer.org. OVRDC Gallia County Caucus set for April 14 Harvey From Page A1 children in Gallia County. After a series of meetings and extensive planning, Snack Pack began its outreach in February 2008 at Rio Grande Elementary School by distributing 85 packs of food to school kids who were enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program. Since that time, Snack Pack has grown to include all seven elementary schools in Gallia County, serving more than 1,500 children enrolled in free and reduced lunch programs. Snack Pack is an entirely volunteer-driven organization with no paid staff. It is a 501C3 non-profit group, which means any donations to the group are tax deductible. Smith said area churches, civic groups, businesses and good-hearted individuals have donated food, money and their time to help make the program a success. She said there are about 100 or so active members, 25 of which form the central committee that oversees Snack Pack. Smith said Snack Pack delivers food packages to students once a month. The packs include non-perishable items like macaroni and cheese, cereal packs or bars, pop-top meals, peanut butter, crackers, pudding and fruit cups, fresh fruit (when available), fruit juice and shelf-stable milk. Smith said all food donated to Snack Pack is stored at the former CVS Pharmacy facility located next to Foodland on Jackson Pike. The building is owned by Holzer Clinic, which donates the space at no cost to Snack Pack. For information about the Gallia County Snack Pack Organization, contact Nancy Smith at 446-3939.

At the very least, the author of an oped published in the Washington Post last Friday — former South African Supreme Court Justice Richard Goldstone — sure looked foolish as he all but acknowledged being incredibly naïve and irresponsible when he authored a harshly critical report for the United Nations Human Rights Council after Israel’s 2008-2009 war with Hamas in Gaza. It seems the lead author of the Goldstone Report has experienced a severe case of second thoughts or buyer’s remorse. Presumably, that is due at least in part to a belated appreciation of the immense damage caused by his misbegotten handiwork. As the jurist put it in his essay, “If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document.” He is not the only one who is reconsidering or should be — what they are about. Unfortunately, as in the case of the Goldstone Report, in most instances where buyer’s remorse is set- Frank Gaffney, Jr. ting in, there is really no excuse for the actions to be taken in the first place. Consider several examples: Let’s start with Justice Goldstone’s opus. In it, he assailed the Israel Defense Forces for engaging in “potential war crimes” and “possibly crimes against humanity” by purposefully attacking non-combatants. In so doing, his report established a moral equivalency for the Jewish State with the terrorists of Hamas and contributed mightily to international efforts to stigmatize and delegitimize Israel. Yet, Goldstone now acknowledges, based on subsequent investigations conducted by others (including the Israeli government), that “civilians were not intentionally targeted [by Israel] as a matter of policy.” Welcome as this vin- dication of Israel is, it cannot undo the immense damage done by charges made eighteen months ago, when there was ample reason not to tar the Israelis with the same brush as Hamas. Justice Goldstone now avers, “That the crimes allegedly committed by Hamas were intentional goes without saying — its rockets were purposefully and indiscriminate ly aimed at civilian targets.” There is, however, no excuse for him not knowing and affirming at the time that Israel had adopted a wholly different approach. No amount of remorseful op.ed. articles will obscure that reality, or mitigate the damage done by his moral equivalence. Second thoughts are much in evidence at the moment in official Washington about the Obama administration’s responses to the wildfires that have been raging in recent weeks throughout North Africa and the Middle East. The original view was that these were spontaneous “awakenings” in which peoples long denied freedom were rising up, asserting their demand for democracy, inspired and fanned by Westerninnovated social networking media. As such, they were widely seen to be causes that warranted strong U.S. support. It is becoming increasingly clear that in virtually every case, these fires were set by arsonists, not democrats. The instigators were Islamists seeking to impose the supremacist, totalitarian politico-military legal program they call shariah. In those few instances where such Islamists were not actually among the catalysts, they are certainly emerging as the principal beneficiaries of the revolts thus set in train. American policies encouraging the overthrow of regimes that were (more-or-less) aligned with the United States are having the effect of clearing the way for successors deeply hostile to us, our allies (most especially Israel) and interests. These include not just Muslim Brotherhood operatives but al Qaeda terrorists, some of whom have returned to the fight after being released from Guantanamo (another practice sorely in need of reconsideration!) The Obama administra- tion is reportedly cutting off arms sales to Hezbollah-dominated Lebanon; it should exercise similar restraint with respect to the present impulse in some quarters to supply weapons to the socalled “rebels” of Libya. Andy McCarthy calls the latter the Libyan mujahideen, a group perfectly capable of turning their weapons on us, as their counterparts in Afghanistan did after we collaborated in defeating the USSR there in the 1980s. Now would also be a good time, with Congress and the executive branch poised to effect deficit reduction on the backs of U.S. servicemen and women, to engage in some second-thoughtstyle reflection — before the Pentagon budget is reduced any further. After all, we are at war in three different theaters. Our enemies are already sensing our weakness and irresolution and emboldened by it. And the past costs of reconstituting military capabilities unwisely and irresponsibly dissipated have proven — time and time again — vastly to exceed the savings. At the very least, we should resolve to apply any resources freed up by ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse in the Defense Department, to addressing yawning shortfalls in the military’s modernization, research and development and operations and maintenance funding. Monday, President Obama declared his candidacy for reelection. While his decision was no surprise, whether the American electorate will decide to give him a renewed mandate next year seems an open question. For millions across the country, the answer may rightly turn on second thoughts they have had — and will have between now and November 2012 — about him and his policies, among others the foregoing directly related to keeping us safe and secure.

Year of youth and nuclear weapons taxes — where are our priorities? BY ROBERT DODGE, M.D. The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2011 the International Year of Youth. This is in recognition of children’s rights throughout the world and to realize the potential of children everywhere. The resolution proclaiming the Year signifies the importance the international community places on integrating youth-related issues into global, regional, and national development agendas. Under the theme “Dialogue and Mutual Understanding,” the Year aims to promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and solidarity across generations, cultures, religions and civilizations. This happens at a time of continued economic challenge the world over and here at home. Our Congress is struggling to pass a budget that addresses the nation’s priorities. What are these priorities? Ultimately in the words of Sojourner’s Rev. Jim Wallis, “budgets are moral documents.” How we spend our tax dollars speaks volumes about who we are as a people. In this year of youth, how are we demonstrating our commitment to our children and the future? Is it through improved education and health guaranteeing access for all? Is it through ensuring a safe environment helping to promote a safe tomorrow? In today’s economy are we providing employment opportunities and encouraging full participation of young people in public life? These investments in our future must be carefully weighed to realize the most benefit from our precious dollars. Where do nuclear weapons factor in this priority? This tax season the U.S. will spend roughly $54 billion dollars on nuclear weapons programs. This does not include the DoD budget, nor the expenditures on the current wars being fought in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Nor does it include the massive government subsidies to the nuclear power industry. This is for nuclear weapons programs only. These expenditures on weapons that can never be used and that threaten Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

These massive outlays are proposed to grow by $8.4 billion annually over the next 10 years as part of a proposed stockpile modernization program. This unbelievable addition was worked out in an 11th hour deal with nuclear weapons proponents during last year’s START Treaty negotiations. Do these proposals really represent our priorities? This year’s nuclear weapons expenditures per county across the nation are enormous and in my state of California range from $164 million for Ventura County to Los Angeles County’s $1.729 billion. The poorest county in the nation, Buffalo County, South Dakota, with its 2091 residents and a poverty rate of 51.9 percent will spend more than $133,000 on nuclear weapons. Does this really benefit their 1,000 children under the age of 25? The State of Wisconsin with its budgetary drama will spend over 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.

Has anyone suggested working to eliminate or at least reduce nuclear weapons expenditures? Surely reallocating these dollars would go a long way toward alleviating many of the proposed draconian cuts in services to our most vulnerable citizens. So, in this tax season as we fund our nation’s priorities, we must be vigilant in identifying our most pressing needs and providing for the future of our children. We can no longer treat nuclear weapons programs like entitlement programs. We must let our voices be heard and demand that our leaders work to verifiably eliminate these immoral weapons the world over. The loss of resources presently squandered on them represents our greatest security risk. (Robert F. Dodge, M.D. is a family physician practicing in Ventura, California.

Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Lawn aeration involves the removal of small soil plugs or cores out of the lawn. Although hand aerators are available, most aeration is done mechanically with a machine having hollow tines or spoons mounted on a disk or drum. Known as a core aerator, it extracts 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch diameter cores of soil and deposits them on your lawn. Aeration holes are typically 1-6 inches deep and 2-6 inches apart. Other types of aerators push solid spikes or tines into the soil without removing a plug (spiking). These are not as effective because they can contribute to compaction. Core aeration is a recommended lawn care practice on compacted, heavily used turf and to control thatch buildup. As lawns age or sustain heavy use from play, sports activities, pets, vehicle traffic and parking, soil compaction can result. Soil compacting forces are most severe in poorly drained or wet sites. Compaction greatly reduces the pore space within the soil that would normally hold air. Roots require oxygen to grow and absorb nutrients and water. Compaction reduces total pore space and the amount of air within the soil. It has a negative impact on nutrient uptake and water infiltration, in addition to being a physical barrier to root growth. This results in poor top growth and lawn deterioration. Core aeration can benefit your lawn by: • Increasing the activity of soil microorganisms that decompose thatch. • Increasing the water, nutrient and oxygen movement into the soil. • Improving rooting. • Enhancing infiltration of rainfall or irrigation. • Helping prevent fertilizer and pesticide runoff from overly compacted areas. If in doubt about aeration, remove a square foot section of lawn at least six inches deep. If grass roots extend only into the first one to two inches, your soil may be compacted and could benefit from core aeration. Expect a seasonal effect with cool-season grass roots being shortest in late summer and at their greatest depth in late spring. Other reasons to aerate include: • Your lawn is heavily used or driven upon on a regular basis, causing the turf to thin or look unthrifty. • The thatch layer is in excess of 1⁄2 inch. • You have a heavy clay soil. A lawn that is not exposed to soil compacting events will likely grow well and may not need aerification. Winter freezing and thawing cycles and earthworm activity can help loosen slightly compacted soils. If the lawn has a thatch layer in excess of 1⁄2 inch, then core cultivation can be used as a preventative approach to control excess thatch build up. Newly seeded or sodded lawns should not be aerated in the first year. The best time to aerate cool season lawns of tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass is in late August to mid September. This is when these lawns are coming out of summer dormancy and beginning a period of vigorous growth. Lawns will recover quickly from aeration at this time. Competition from weeds is also minimal during this time. Warm season lawns like bermudagrass and zoysiagrass are best aerated during June and July, as this is their period of rapid growth. Aerators may be rented at many garden or rental centers. Some lawn or landscape companies will perform the service for a fee. Be sure that the machine has hallow tines or spoons to bring the soil core to the surface. Look for machines with deeper tines and weight over the tines for better penetration into the soil. Busy rental times include most spring and fall weekends; reserve early or plan on weekday use. These machines are large and heavy; they will require special handling and larger vehicles for transport. Many people cooperate with neighbors and make it a group effort, thereby also lowering the overall cost. If renting, be sure you are instructed in and comfortable with the operation of the machine before bringing it home. • The soil should be moist but not wet. • Lawns should be thoroughly watered two days prior to aerating, so tines can penetrate deeper into the soil and soil cores easily fall out of the tines. • If aerating after prolonged rainfall it is important to wait until the soil has dried somewhat so soil cores do not stick in the hollow tines. • Thorough watering means one inch of water from irrigation or rainfall. An inch of water can be measured by marking the side of a pet food can placed in the lawn. • Applying one inch of water may be difficult to achieve in a single watering, given the slow infiltration rate on most soils. Therefore, smaller amounts of water applied every three to four days may be required to allow water to enter the soil without causing runoff. • Aerate the lawn in at least two different directions to insure good coverage. Be careful on slopes, especially steep ones, as well as near buildings and landscape beds. • Aeration helps to control thatch. • It is extremely difficult to core aerate heavy clay soils or soils that have stones, rocks or tree roots below the soil surface. • Be sure to mark sprinkler heads, shallow lines from sprinkler, underground utilities, cable, and septic lines before aerating so they will not be damaged. • Soil cores are best left on the lawn surface; they typically work back into the grass in two to four weeks. • Lawns may be fertilized and seeded immediately following aeration with or without further soil top dressing. • If your soil is heavily compacted, you can apply stable, mature compost 1⁄4 inch deep. Rake the compost over the lawn, filling the aeration holes. • Lawns can be aerated once a year, especially under heavy use conditions. Contact your local Extension office and speak with an Extension Agent or Master Gardener volunteer for more advice and information on upcoming lawn and landscape classes and seminars in your area. Federal shutdown avoided, 2012 budget fight looms BY JIM KUHNHENN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A last-minute budget deal forged amid bluster and tough bargaining averted an embarrassing federal shutdown, cut billions in spending and provided the first major test of the divided government that voters ushered in five months ago. Working late into Friday night, congressional and White House negotiators finally agreed on a plan to pay for government operations through the end of September while trimming $38.5 billion in spending. Lawmakers then approved a measure to keep the government running through next Friday while the details of the new spending plan are written into legislation. Obama signed the short-term measure without fanfare Saturday. Congressional approval of the actual deal is expected in the middle of next week. “Americans of different beliefs came together again,” President Barack Obama said from the White House Blue Room, a setting chosen to offer a clear view of the Washington Monument over his right shoulder. The agreement was negotiated by Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The administration was poised to shutter federal services, from national parks to tax-season help centers, and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands of federal workers. All sides insisted they wanted to avoid that out- come, which at times seemed inevitable. Shortly after midnight, White House budget director Jacob Lew issued a memo instructing departments and agencies to continue normal operations. Boehner said the deal came after “a lot of discussion and a long fight.” He won an ovation from his rank and file, including the new tea party adherents whose victories last November shifted control of the House to the GOP. Reid declared the deal “historic.” The deal marked the end of a three-way clash of wills. It also set the tone for coming confrontations over raising the government’s borrowing limit, the spending plan for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 and long-term deficit reduction. In the end, all sides claimed victory. For Republicans, it was the sheer size of the spending cuts. For Obama and Reid, it was casting aside GOP policy initiatives that would have blocked environmental rules and changed a program that provides family planning services. Not all policy provisions were struck. One in the final deal would ban the use of federal or local government funds to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia. A program dear to Boehner that lets District of Columbia students use federally funded vouchers to attend private schools also survived. Republicans had included language to deny federal money to put in place Obama’s year-old health care law. The deal only requires such a proposal to be voted on by the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it is certain to fall short of the necessary 60 votes. The deal came together after six grueling weeks as negotiators virtually dared each other to shut down the government. Boehner faced pressure from his GOP colleagues to stick as closely possible to the $61 billion in cuts and the conservative policy positions that the House had passed. At one point, Democrats announced negotiators had locked into a spending cut figure — $33 billion. Boehner pushed back and said there was no deal. During a meeting at the White House this past week, Boehner said he wanted $40 billion. The final number fell just short of that. In one dramatic moment, Obama called Boehner on Friday morning after learning that the outline of a deal they had reached with Reid in the Oval Office the night before was not reflected in the pre-dawn staff negotiations. The whole package was in peril.

And for many years the Relay for Life has worked to raise funds to promote cancer awareness as well as to hopefully one day find a cure for the disease. Locally, a group known as “Charlie’s Angels” has worked for the past five years to raise money for the cause. The group has conducted several Relay for Life activities in support of the American Cancer Society, including the annual Charlie’s Angels Golf Benefit. Charlie’s Angels work to raise funds in memory of local teacher, Angela “Charlie” Lilly, who died from breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 38. Lilly was an active member of the community as she was employed by the Mason County Board of Education, where she taught for 14 years as a special education teacher. She also was a member of the First Church of God in Point Pleasant. In addition, Lilly had two children, Gage Peaytt, now 11, and Dustin Peaytt, now 20; two sisters, Wendy Lilly and Jackie Stewart; and one brother, Eugene Lilly.

However, he also notes that the chance to further his education is the best part of this deal. “This is a really big day for me. I am about to venture into something I’ve never done before and there was a lot of thought in this process, but I do feel in the end that it was the right choice for me,” McKinniss said. “The athletic side of this is one thing, but KCU also makes every program a double major with a bible degree — which is something that I have always been interested in.

But they made a nice defensive play and turned a good double play — and got themselves out of the inning. Then, we let it get away from us in the seventh.” Highlighting the seventh, Gallia Academy’s Drew Young slugged a two-run homer. Both Russ Dennison and Ben Saunders also drove in a run, and another Blue Devils score came on a wild pitch. GAHS starting and winning pitcher Brandon Taylor went six innings on the hill, striking out six and walking three. Offensively for the Blue Devils (5-2, 3-0), Saunders had three hits and two RBIs; and Tyler Eastman and Young chipped in with two knocks. “We got guys over to third and got some timely hits,” said Gallia Academy head coach Rich Corvin. “We preach situational hitting, bunt them over, get them to third and get them in. “Taylor did a great job (pitching). If we can get our starting pitchers to Saunders Taylor give us at least five, we’re happy.” Tim Grosel and Justin McElroy each had two hits for the Tigers. And, Ben Bricker and Cameron Bronski plated one run apiece. Righty Eli Lenington started and suffered the mound setback. Gallia staked itself to a 2-0 first-inning advantage when Eastman triple home leadoff batter Caleb Warnimont, and then scored himself on Jimmy Clagg’s sacrifice fly. On Eastman’s hit, MHS center fielder Grosel narrowly missed making a spectacular shoestring catch. Leading off the third, Warnimont beat out a bunt off Lenington, and Casey Denbow followed with a walk. Both Blue Devils moved up a base on Eastman’s sacrifice bunt. Warnimont then scored on Clagg’s groundout, and Denbow legged it home on a wild pitch to make it 4-0. In the bottom half of the frame, Marietta’s Justin Futrell walked and later came around to score on Bricker’s RBI groundout. Grosel, who had a single in the inning, also scored on Bronski’s run-scoring double to left, making it 4-2. The Blue Devils stretched their lead to 5-2 in the fourth on Saunders’ RBI hit. But the Tigers got that run back in their at-bats when Corey Spanner, running for a singling McElroy, advanced to third on a two-base throwing error by Taylor, and then raced home on a wild pitch. In the fifth, Ga. got another run on a passed ball and led 6-3. Capitalizing on walks to Bronski and Connor Hess, a wild pitch and McElroy’s run-scoring double, Marietta cut it to 6-5 in the bottom of the sixth. The Tigers threatened to score even more runs and even had the tying run on third, thanks to a pinch single by Coleman Hupp. But Taylor got out of the jam when he got Futrell to hit into a 6-4-3 double play. In the seventh, Gallia roughed up Tiger relievers’ Evan Sawyer and Joe Roberts for five big runs to win going away. Blue Devil reliever Warnimont pitched the seventh and closed out the game. “Gallia is a good team and one of the better teams in our league,” Thrash said. “We’re going to be battling them and a couple of other teams for the top spot in the league. Next times, we’re going to have to be less generous to them.” Said Corvin, jokingly, of the close game, “We don’t like to put teams away real well. We get pretty complacent at times.” Ron Johnston is the sports editor of the Marietta Times in Marietta, Ohio.

The days I spent down there on my tour of the campus were a blessing, just getting to talk to the professors and the people on campus. I’m really looking forward to this opportunity with KCU.” Kentucky Christian is in the process of building its own home football facility, which should be completed during the next four years. For GAHS football coach Mike Eddy, having McKinniss move on to the next level made for another bright day for the Blue Devil program. “There’s quality football at all levels and if you have a desire to play, there is a spot for you somewhere. Morgan is one of those kids,” Eddy said. “This time last year, Morgan wasn’t even playing football. He played when he was younger, tried some other sports and decided to come back for his senior year and fell in love with it all over again. “I’m glad to see him continue on with it, because his attitude and work ethic will allow him to be successful at whatever he does at KCU. He’s always upbeat and he’s always prepared to do whatever you ask of him, and those are the things that will carry him on to better days at the next level.” McKinniss served as a tight end and defensive lineman for Gallia Academy last fall, but did not start regularly at either position. Still, McKinniss always took pride in doing whatever was needed of him to help make the Blue Devils better each week. The soon-to-be GAHS graduate will be taking on a very similar role in the very near future with the Knights. “In talking with the current coaches and players at KCU, there is a collective mentality that we are going to go into next season and nobody is going to stop us. It’s very similar to what I had here at Gallia Academy with coach Eddy,” McKinniss said. “It’s a great mentality to have as long as you can back it up. From what I’ve seen at KCU, it’s very likely that it will be backed up ... and I’m very excited about being a part of that.” McKinniss, who currently resides in Gallipolis, plans to major in education. He is the son of Terry and Faith McKinniss.

It depends on your perspective BY MARK WILLIAMS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES-SENTINEL One of the ironies of being a soil and water conservation district wildlife specialist is working with individual landowners on wildliferelated issues, landowners who frequently have totally different wildlife goals. For instance, some property owners want more wildlife and they are generally interested in programs and assistance in improving wildlife habitat, often times for a (pardon the pun) targeted wildlife species such as deer or wild turkey, but frequently for a variety of wildlife both game and non-game such as songbirds. These people are eager to arrange habitat to suit a variety of birds and animals, and don’t think twice about planting food plots or grasses that provide food or cover for animals. Other landowners, generally farmers (producers, in the conservation biz) think they have enough wildlife, particularly whitetail deer, and are tired of feeding them with their crops, produce or trees. Frustrated homeowners frequently fall into this category as they see their prized shrubs and flowers become fodder for hungry critters. These people think their crops and plants are being used as food plots against their wishes. Most people sort of fall into the middle, they enjoy watching birds and animals on their property – and have some tolerance for crop damage – but are sometimes frustrated when they perceive the damage is too great to their garden or plants. So who is right: the landowner wanting to enjoy more wildlife, or the farmer who is tired of feeding the deer in his soybean field? Well, both of them actually, it really just depends upon the individual’s goals and perspective, and there is usually room for both to coexist. For those who want to see more wildlife, just remember that habitat is the most important factor in wildlife survival – and it often requires little effort or cost to make improvements in wildlife habitat. In town you can plant shrubs, bushes and trees in areas near bird feeders to create cover for feeding songbirds. In smaller lots outside of town landowners can create woodland openings, “feather” field borders and build brush piles using little more than a chainsaw and some sweat equity. Tractor-mounted mowers can be used to create woodland openings, and fields can be mowed in portions, leaving some two-tothree-year-old areas to provide shelter and nesting cover for wildlife. Instead of feeding wildlife with feeders consider planting perennial food plots, using legumes like alfalfa and clover that will come back for sev- In the Open Jim Freeman eral years, or annual “winter survival” plots for songbirds. Then there are programs like the Conservation Reserve Program or Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program that may be available through your county’s Natural Resources Conservation Service office. Of course not all landowners will be eligible for those programs. When it comes to problem wildlife, there are several attitudes and options as well. One option is doing nothing, accepting that occasionally critters are going to munch, trample or rub some of your plants and crops, and generally be a nuisance from time to time. For residential and ornamental plants, homeowners should find that spray-on repellents are very effective for preventing browse damage; however they must be reapplied on a regular basis according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Deterrents such as human hair or soap around plants aren’t so effective. Fencing is also a very effective method of keep deer, rabbits and other animals out of flower beds and gardens. Especially for people who want more wildlife, but want to keep it out of their gardens and such. Some of these landowners may be the same ones who want to see more wildlife, but want it to stay outside of their gardens. Generally speaking, if you don’t fence it, you are sharing it. For agricultural producers, deer damage permits can be helpful but really aren’t intended as a means of population control or as the first choice of preventing crop damage, but as a tool producers can use to address crop damage at the time it is occurring. Obviously there are situations where deer damage permits are not practical or legal, such as in builtup areas or inside corporation lines where the discharge or firearms is illegal, unsafe or both. When it comes to population control, the best method is to promote the harvest of antlerless deer on your property. One thing that is for sure, when it comes to wildlife and human interaction, there is little consensus on how much is too much.

These days, Buffington Island at Portland in Lebanon Township is a calm destination with a memorial park surrounded by corn and tomato fields which blossom in summer months. Upon first sight, drivers would never guess a fierce, historic battle took place nearly 148 years earlier. Though many locals know “something” happened during the Civil War at Portland, not all are aware of the details and why Meigs County is a major “hot spot” when talking about the war and Ohio. According to accounts and local historians, on July 13, 1863, Confederate cavalry under Morgan crossed into Ohio from Indiana at Harrison. They were being pursued by Union cavalry under the direction of Generals Henry M. Judah and Edward H. Hobson. On July 19, Union forces caught up to Morgan’s raiders and the Battle of Buffington Island was fought near Portland on the Ohio River. Of the 1,700 Confederate troops engaged, 900 were killed, wounded or captured. Only 25 of the 4,700 Union troops became casualties. Morgan escaped the Buffington Island engagement with about 400 men and was captured on July 26 near Salineville in northeast Ohio while trying to find a safe place to cross the Ohio River. During the Ohio raid, Morgan’s men captured and paroled nearly 6,000 Union soldiers and militia, destroyed 34 bridges, disrupted railroads at more than 60 places and diverted tens of thousands of Union troops from other duties. For years, historians and reenactors have flocked to Buffington Island each summer to recreate the past, including a full-scale recreation of Morgan’s Raid across Meigs County. The last reenactment of the Battle of Buffington Island happened in 2009 and this year, there are plans for events at the memorial park. On July 9, visitors to Buffington Island Memorial Park can learn about the lifestyle of infantry men through a living history presentation by the 91st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. There will also be a memorial service conducted by the Sons of Union Veterans in remembrance of Confederate and Union soldiers who died during the battle in 1863. The Ohio Historical Society along with the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities at the Cleveland State University Department of History has partnered to bring the public the Ohio Civil War 150 project, which includes a website, www.ohiocivilwar150.org , containing information on events across the state commemorating Ohio’s role in the war.

Although photography was still in its early stages when the Civil War broke out in 1861, Mathew Brady had a vision to use this medium to capture this tumultuous period in American history. According to Wayne Youngblood and Ray Bonds, authors of Mathew B. Brady: America’s First Great Photographer, Brady’s reputation as a photographer grew when in February 1860, he photographed a relatively unknown Illinois attorney who was delivering a speech in New York City. That attorney, Mr. Abraham Lincoln, later credited Brady’s photographs of him as one of the reasons for his election to the White House. The authors further note that Brady’s success is also due to the work of his assistants and hired photographers. Brady’s images bring the Civil War to life as they provide us with a clear picture of life in the mid-late 1800’s. A few of the sample captions from the pictures included in the book by Youngblood and Bonds are: “The guns are about to roar at Fort Sumner 1862,” “A wagon train crosses one of the most photographed images of the Civil War at Antietam, 1862,” “After the battle, the gruesome sight of Confederate soldiers lying dead in a ditch, used as a rifle pit, Antietam, 1862,” “Their war is over…wounded Union soldiers, some suffering amputations, at Armory Square Hospital, Washington, D.C.” These are just a few of the many compelling captions that, along with their corresponding photographs, fill the pages of this comprehensive work. If you are interested in reading more about Mathew Brady and the Civil War, Bossard Library has an extensive collection of materials for your Debbie Saunders perusal. I recommend the following titles from our collection: • America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation (Goldfield). • Bloody Times: The Funeral of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for Jefferson Davis (Swanson). • Broken Promises: A Novel of the Civil War (Hoffman). • Driven West: Andrew Jackson’s Trail of Tears to the Civil War (Langguth). • Eye for Glory: The Civil War Chronicles of a Citizen Soldier (Bacon). • After the War: The Lives and Images of Major Civil War Figures After the Shooting Stopped (Hardin). • Brady’s Civil War: A Collection of Memorable Civil War Images Photographed by Mathew Brady and His Assistants (Webb). As Ohio commemorates the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, Bossard Library will host Mr. Mark Holbrook on Saturday, April 16 as he will portray Mathew Brady in “Mr. Lincoln’s Cameraman: An Afternoon with Mathew Brady.” This event, also made possible by the Ohio Humanities Council, will be held from 2-3 p.m. in the Library’s Switzer Room. Come hear the story from Matthew Brady himself as the world renowned photographer and chronicler of the American Civil War and the presidency of Abraham Lincoln shares some of his photographs and the stories behind them.

No cuddling, please 5 million Dear Dr. Brothers: I know it’s a question that’s probably been asked zillions of times, but I still don’t know the answer to it: Why do women desire cuddling, while it seems men couldn’t care less? I’m used to it by now — my husband and I have been married for 10 years, and he can’t stand to be held while he’s trying to sleep — but I’ve always been curious as to why this is. Maybe I think that if I know the reason, I can somehow still change his behavior. I don’t really know. — H.C. Dear H.C.: This is an ageold stereotype, especially regarding how the two sexes act post-sex. You’ve surely seen the image of the guy smoking a post-coital cigarette while the girl wonders if he really loves her. She’d like some reassurance in the form of cuddling and sweet talk, while he seems interested mainly in having a snack or rolling over and going to sleep. If these are the cultural norms, then perhaps we can blame our female and male physiologies for some of the responses we have to kissing, canoodling and cuddling. Women are said to be slower to warm up and cool down, and men are more interested in getting on with it due to their physical and sexual makeup. That is not to say that both sexes can’t learn to change their innate responses and become more like the other in the way they interact. You might not be able to change your husband’s behavior — many people don’t like physical contact while they Ohioans say ʻyes to Gift of Life BY TED. WYMYSLO, M.D. DIRECTOR, OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Dr. Joyce Brothers are sleeping — but you could concentrate on being more affectionate during your waking hours. Dear Dr. Brothers: My boyfriend went back home to where he grew up to take care of his sick mother. His first girlfriend still lives next door, and he said before he left that her family had invited him over for dinner. Here’s the thing: In the time he’s been gone, I have received a total of one e-mail, and no phone calls. I’m making myself crazy thinking about what might be happening there. — F.R. Dear F.R.: That’s the kind of assumption that you might feel goes without saying, but you’d be surprised how many people weather a separation and decide that they don’t miss their significant other half as much as they thought they would. He may be so tied up with things dealing with his mother’s illness that his lack of communication may be meaningless. Tell him you need to talk when he gets back. Anything more than that might backfire right now. Ohio is home to approximately 180,000 high school seniors, 4.6 million baby boomers, countless Buckeye fans, and now, five million heroes. In February, the Ohio Donor Registry reached a major milestone of 5 million men and women — 5,002,268 to be exact — who have said “Yes” to the life-saving decision to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. This is the first time the Ohio Donor Registry has exceeded five million donors since it was established by the Ohio legislature in July 2002. Yet even with millions of Ohioans making the potentially life-saving commitment to register as an organ donor, an urgent need remains in our state. More than 3,350 Ohio men, women and children are waiting to receive a lifesaving transplant right now. Thousands more depend on tissue donors to restore sight or mobility. Even with millions of people registered, 179 Ohioans died in 2010 waiting for a transplant that did not come in time.
