Shawn E. Petrie, 35, Cheshire, appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Aug. 1 to enter his plea of not guilty to one count of rape, a felony of the first degree, one count of kidnapping, a felony of the first degree and a count of sexual battery, a felony of the third degree. Petrie’s bond was set at $10,000 personal recognizance, $100,000 surety, $100,000 appearance bond with 10 percent permitted. As of press time, Petrie was being housed at the Washington County Jail after being booked there on Aug. 2. The Middleport Police Department initially arrested Petrie on July 26 who was then charged in Meigs County Court with gross sexual imposition — this charge was dismissed out of county court and the case later considered by the grand jury. The police report filed in the case was not immediately available for review. A Meigs County Grand Jury later handed down a secret indictment against Petrie filed with the Meigs County Clerk of Courts Office on July 28. Contained within the charges was language which described the victim as “under the age of 13 or mentally incompetent.” When contacted about clarification on the victim’s status, Meigs County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Amanda Franzmann would only say the victim was “not juvenile.” A pretrial conference has been set for 11:45 a.m., Aug. 29; a final pretrial conference at 10:15 a.m., Sept. 12; the jury trial has been set for 9 a.m., Sept. 27 in Meigs County Common Pleas Court.

BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — There was plenty of action on the Rocksprings Fairgrounds Friday as preparations began for the 147th annual Meigs County Fair which kicks off tonight with opening ceremonies, a parade and the crowning of fair royalty. The junior fair building was bustling with activity as 4-Hers worked to get their booths ready for displaying project work, Tractors and other equipment for display were moving into the Thompson-Roush building. And the shuttle wagons were out, canvas roofs and signage in place, in preparation for transporting fairgoers from the lower level parking areas to the hilltop midway. Food booths began opening up Friday, carnival rides began arriving, and fair board personnel hustled about getting buildings and display areas ready for the start of judging on Saturday. Opening ceremonies will be held tonight (Sunday) at the grandstand just after the 4-H fair parade and before the 2011 Meigs County Fair King and Queen are announced. Prince and princesses will also be recognized. After that the Meigs County Ministerial Association will have a program of music and commentary to conclude the evening’s activities.

Hopefully, some other group of people is going to go, ‘they did this, therefore — guess what? — we can put on our own deal,’” ORL member Matt Johnson said. “It might not necessarily be music; it might be arts and crafts or sculpture ...

They are the nests of the Fall Webworm (Hyphantria cunea). Fall Webworms likes to gather in large numbers and spin a collective nest on a wide variety of trees: walnut, ash, baldcypress, birch, cherry, crabapple, hawthorn, hickory, sweetgum, and willow. Fall webworm caterpillars feed as skeletonizers on leaves enveloped by their silk. They only feed on leaves within their nest. As caterpillars grow in size, they enlarge their nests by casting silk over more leaves to accommodate their expanding appetites. First genera- tion nests formed inlate Spring are not noticed. However, the second generation nests are usually much larger because female moths often lay their eggs on or near the nests from which they developed. Second generation nests typically reach their maximum size in the fall, which accounts for the common name. Our extension consumer horticulture team states that there are two types of fall webworms, known as “races,” and both races are found in Ohio. The two races differ in coloration, host Wendyʼs bringing HQ back, adding 50 jobs DUBLIN — Wendy’s Co. is bringing its corporate headquarters back to Dublin along with 50 jobs – and $12 million in state and local incentives in hand. The fast food chain Thursday announced plans for an $11 million renovation of its 35-yearold Dublin office complex and the return of 50 executive-level jobs that were moved to Atlanta after the company’s 2008 acquisition by Triarc Companies Inc. “This could’ve happened in Georgia,” Gov. John Kasich said at a press conference announcing the move. “There was a choice.” Wendy’s spokesman Denny Lynch said afterward that the company considered Atlanta, Dublin and other Ohio locations for the 50 jobs. The company also considered Dublin and other Ohio locations for the 388 jobs currently in Dublin, but chose to reinvest in the current facili- ty. It did not consider moving jobs in Dublin to Atlanta. Kasich said the returnon-investment for the state’s $4 million in incentives is positive for Ohio and its taxpayers. Kristina Clouse, assistant director of the Ohio Department of Development strategic business investment division, also said the exact return to Ohio isn’t yet known but is in the millions. The payroll of the returning jobs is estimated at $10 million. One of the state’s incentives is a 55 percent credit on the payroll taxes of those jobs. Dublin is offering $8.2 million in incentives of its own. “From our point of view, Wendy’s never left,” Dublin Mayor Tim Lecklider told the assembled crowd. He said the company was one of Dublin’s first major corporate tenants and is a key component to its Bridge Street Corridor plans for the area stretch- ing across the Scioto River and through historic Dublin. Wendy’s CEO Roland Smith said the $11 million investment in the 249,000-square-foot headquarters will give Wendy’s a more modern corporate office and better working conditions for all. Improvement plans include a redesigned main entrance and lobby, upgrades to common areas like bathrooms and hallways, a complete renovation on Building Five on the complex, which will include a new boardroom, additional meeting space in its innovation center, a new meeting center that will hold up to 700, and an oncampus fitness center, a first for the company. BHDP Architecture, which has offices in Columbus, Cincinnati and Durham, N.C., is the architect on the project, which is expected to be substantially completed by mid-2012. suburban Cleveland on Feb. 12, 1992, and for killing Sharon Kostura in the same apartment complex the next day.

Other charges were dropped in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are under a judge’s order not to comment outside court. A judge ruled earlier this year that Liske was competent to stand trial despite a history of mental illness. Court documents show Liske’s father tried to help his son and that the younger Liske would sometimes stop taking medication for mental illness. plant preferences, nesting behavior, and the timing for spring adult moth emergence. Caterpillars of both races have two generations per year and they spend the winter as pupae in cocoons located in leaf debris or in the upper layer of the soil. The socalled “black-headed race” webworm caterpillars have black head capsules and two rows of black bumps (tubercles) running the length of their yellowish-white bodies. Black-headed caterpillars typically feed in a common web until they are half- grown, then they may separate to produce small, elongated, wispy nets along tree branches that envelope only a dozen or so leaves. Black-headed race moths usually emerge from overwintering cocoons in mid-to-late May in Ohio. *** See you at the Meigs County Fair, August 1520.

The sheriff’s department says in a statement 48-year-old William Backus of Akron were driving in a Chevrolet HHR crossover when the moose ran out of the woods. Backus says he had no time to avoid the moose. Backus was treated at the scene for minor injuries caused by glass from the broken windshield. No one else in the car was injured. The car was totaled.

The Ohio River Live Music Festival will be held on Saturday, Sept. 3, on Court Street in downtown Gallipolis. Beginning at 1 p.m., six local acts, who have huge fan followings in their own right, will perform, leading up to the headlining act, Matt King, a nationally known singer/songwriter. King, a Nashvillebased musician has an “Americana” sound that, according to the organizers, will fit well with the other groups performing that night and will allow the festival goers to hear an artist who would not normally travel to the southern Ohio area. “They are going to be able to see an act that they wouldn’t normally be able to see,” ORL member Steve Marxen said. Tickets for the event on are on sale now, and while the $15 price may seem hefty, concert goers will be treated to an entire day of live music. In addition, children 10 years of age and under get in free, and ticket holders can come and go as they please throughout the all-day event. The music festival will kick off with Point Pleasant-based musi- cian Paul Doeffinger at 1 p.m., followed by five-piece band Neon Nickel, Gallipolisbased Soul of the Machine, guitar driven Blue Sky Falling, Meigs County music veterans Blitzkrieg, southern rockers Valley Road, followed up by the soulful sound of the Magic Mama Band. Matt King will hit the stage at 8 p.m. for a two-hour show. In addition to the yearly, all-day music festival, ORL is hopeful to begin quarterly live music events at various venues throughout the county. “We don’t want this to be just a once a year thing,” Marxen said and emphasized that the ORL members want to incorporate every genre of music into their events. “We want to do something quarterly where we bring in whoever at different times for different events.” Tickets are available at www.ohioriverlive.ticketleap.co m/mattking or at Coach’s Corner, 328 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio. Festival attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair. Individuals interested in donating or vending at the event can call (740) 441-7189 for more information. Ohio River Live can also be contacted via Facebook. “People in Gallipolis are always complaining that there’s nothing to do here,” ORL member Rick Van Gundy said. “We’re trying to create something to do, so the community needs to support it.” ���� ���� � Serving You Since 1933 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A3 Public meetings Monday, Aug. 15 LETART –Letart Township Trustees, 5 p.,m. at the office building.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution YO U R O P I N I O N Give a hoot, don’t pollute Dear Editor, Over the past several weeks, I have either taken a walk or rode my bicycle downtown to the Gallipolis City Park and back home almost every day. Almost every day, I have picked up various types of trash (paper, plastic bottles, cans, etc.) that others have discarded onto the street and sidewalk. It amazes me where all this trash is coming from. Who is it that does not care whether they discard their trash on public or private property? Do they not realize how ugly this trash that is discarded on the streets and sidewalks makes out community look? They must not have any respect for their community or others in the community when they discard their trash onto public and private property. This also includes people who discard their cigarette butts, as well. Do people not have and civic pride for their community anymore? There are state and local laws regarding discarding litter on the streets, highways and sidewalks of a community. Under Ohio law, litter is any trash thrown, discarded or dropped by a person onto public property, private property not owned by the individual, or into Ohio’s waterways. The Ohio Revised Code prohibits littering, regardless of whether or not it was intentional. Numerous laws prohibit littering and illegal dumping. Littering is a serious offense, punishable by fines of up to $500 and 60 days in jail. Michael W.

Many may have unknowingly signed their right to lose property value if they consider selling property with an existing gas/oil rights lease attached. Secondary market banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America will not issue mortgages on property with oil/gas leases. In some cases, owners may no longer be covered by their title insurance. Probability of water well pollutions, toxic spills, and even home evacuations has skyrocketed, as gas drillers use high-volume horizontal slick-water hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking. Vertical fracking (conventional drilling) has been used for over four decades, where serious problems occurred at a frequency level which was tolerated; hydrofracking (unconventional drilling), which in its present state using horizontal drilling since 2002 and “slick water” since 2007, magnifies the risks of operation many times from one wellhead location. Where sending 100,000 gallons of water down the pipe used to be the norm per fracking instance, now one to five million gallons is used per horizontal fracking instance (or frack). Fracking fluid contains a cocktail of chemicals, most considered highly toxic, and since 2005 ALL exempt from disclosure (except diesel, if used) under the Safe Water Drinking Act (signed by Nixon in 1974). Much of the returning fracking fluids have been laced with naturally-occurring underground radioactive heavy metals. In Ohio, gas and oil drilling are regulated at state level, and local governments have no jurisdiction. Six communities have formed symbolic ordinances where they demand a moratorium on hydrofracking in their community until it is properly researched and proven reasonably safe by the US EPA.

From kilotons to millisieverts: Japans nuclear legacy BY AMY GOODMAN In recent weeks, radiation levels have spiked at the Fukushima nuclear power reactors in Japan, with recorded levels of 10,000 millisieverts per hour (mSv/hr) at one spot. This is the number reported by the reactor's discredited owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., although that number is simply as high as the Geiger counters go. In other words, the radiation levels are literally off the charts. Exposure to 10,000 millisieverts for even a brief time would be fatal, with death occurring within weeks. (For comparison, the total radiation from a dental X-ray is 0.005 mSv, and from a brain CT scan is less than 5 mSv.) The New York Times has reported that government officials in Japan suppressed official projections of where the nuclear fallout would most likely move with wind and weather after the disaster in order to avoid costly relocation of potentially hundreds of thousands of residents. "Secrecy, once accepted, becomes an addiction." While those words could describe how the Japanese government has handled the nuclear catastrophe, they were said by atomic scientist Edward Teller, one of the key creators of the first two atomic bombs. The uranium bomb dubbed "Little Boy" was dropped on Aug. 6, 1945, on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, the second, a plutonium bomb called "Fat Man," was dropped over the city of Nagasaki, Japan. Close to a quarter-million people were killed by the massive blasts and the immediate aftereffects. No one knows the full extent of the death and disease that followed, from the painful burns that thousands of survivors suffered to the later effects of radiation sickness and cancer. The history of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is itself the history of U.S. military censorship and propaganda. In addition to the suppressed film footage, the military kept the blast zones off-limits to reporters. When PulitzerPrize-winning journalist George Weller managed to get in to Nagasaki, his story was personally killed by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett managed to sneak in to Hiroshima not long after the blast and reported what he called "a warning to the world," describing widespread illnesses as an "atomic plague." The military deployed one of its own. It turns out that William Laurence, the New York Times reporter, was also on the payroll of the War Department. He faithfully reported the U.S. government position, that "the Japanese described 'symptoms' that did not ring true." Sadly, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his propaganda. Greg Mitchell has been writing about the history and aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for decades. On this anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing, I asked Mitchell about his latest book, "Atomic Cover-Up: Two U.S. Soldiers, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and The Greatest Movie Never Made." "Anything that nuclear weapons or nuclear energy touches leads to suppression and leads to danger for the public," he told me. For years, Mitchell sought newsreel footage shot by the U.S. military in the months following the atomic blasts. Tracking down the aging filmmakers, and despite decades-old government classification, he was one of the journalists who publicized the incredible color film archives. As part of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, the film crews documented not only the devastation of the cities, but also close-up, clinical documentation of the severe burns and disfiguring injuries suffered by the civilians, including children. In one scene, a young man is shown with red, raw wounds all over his back, undergoing treatment. Despite the massive burns and being treated months late, the man survived. Now 82, Sumiteru Taniguchi is director of the Nagasaki Council of ABomb Sufferers. Mitchell found recent comments from Taniguchi in a Japanese newspaper linking the atomic bombing to the Fukushima disaster.

She was lent to her parents Sharla and Brian for a brief 18 years before her return home on August 4, 2011. As a child in a military family, Linzi was able to see and live in numerous states and different countries throughout the world. From the time she was born, Linzi was an intelligent girl. She graduated from Mountain Home High School with High Honors. She was awarded a special distinction in Debate and was also selected by the Mountain Home Idaho Ladies’ Auxiliary of the American Legion to attend Girls State. With Linzi’s grades and accomplishments, scholarships were offered to her to attend college, but it was her passion for hair that kept her vacillating back and forth between the University of Idaho and the Paul Mitchell Academy. Never judgmental, never questioning of character, always willing to help regardless of person or circumstance, her mother Sharla says it best, “Linzi’s greatest distinction was her passion for people.” No matter if it was for fun, to share tears, or to lend a helping hand, Linzi was there to share her compassion. She will always be her Daddy’s “Scooby Doo”, her Grandmas’ “Honey Bunny” and “Linny B,” her Mommy’s little girl, Sister and Cousin’s “Link.” She will be an irreplaceable loss to us all. We will remember Linzi for her ambition and general love of life. She loved listening to music, being with friends and family, camping, riding 4-wheelers, turning boring moments into fun ones, being outdoors, and laughing. She is survived by her parents, Brian and Sharla; sister, Hailey; brothers Robert and Bradley, of San Antonio, Texas; grandparents, Garn and Sue (Bingham) Dye, of Mackay Idaho, and Bobby and Hazel Dudding of Racine, Ohio; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Funeral services were held on August 9th, 2011, in the Lost River Valley at the Moore, Idaho LDS Stake Center with her final resting place at the Lost River Cemetery. Pauley Anne Beaver Pauley Anne Beaver, 86, beloved mother of Jo Ann Hoover and Patricia Kincaid, passed away on Aug. 7, 2011, after an extended illness. She was the daughter of the late John W. and Cecil Kincaid and the wife of the late John I. Beaver. Her brothers, who preceded her in death, were William Keith Kincaid and John P. Kincaid. She is survived by her daughters, as well as two grandsons, David and Jeffrey Hoover. She was born in Middleport on Nov. 12, 1924. She graduated from Middleport High School and went on to attend The Ohio State University. Pauley Anne had an impressive career with the railroad, beginning with the New York Central, and retiring from Conrail. She was one of the strongest, most courageous women one could have the privilege of knowing, and she will be greatly missed. Interment will be at Suncrest Cemetery in Point Pleasant, W.Va. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made, in her memory, to the American Lung Association at American Lung Association National Headquarters, 1301 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20004. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.bakerstevensparramore.com. Lahoma J. Crum Lahoma J. Crum, 76, Bidwell, Ohio, passed away Friday, August 12, 2011, in Holzer Medical Center, Gallipolis. She was born December 17, 1934, to the late John Henry and Lyla Bartoe Collins in Holden, West Virginia. She was a member of the Freewill Baptist Church. She is survived by her husband, Donald Crum, whom she married December 1, 1952, in Holden; seven children: Donna Crum, Bidwell; Kenneth (Sandy) Crum, Wheelersburg, Ohio; Ron (Teresa) Crum, Mooresville, N.C.; Jim Crum, Bidwell; Tim (Kathy) Crum, Mount Pleasant, N.C.; Joe Crum, Gallipolis; and Susan Crum, Bidwell.

Now it must wait up to 12 weeks to find out how it will be penalized for rules broken by its football program. A memorabilia-forcash scandal that resulted in player suspensions, coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation and the departure of star quarterback Terrelle Pryor also led to Ohio State’s hearing before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Friday. Apparently, Ohio State officials felt the penalties they had self-imposed earlier — Tressel’s departure, vacating the 2010 season including a victory in the Sugar Bowl and a two-year NCAA probation — were not enough to mollify the NCAA’s version of judge and jury. Athletic director Gene Smith said that in addition to those previous sanctions, Ohio State will forfeit its $338,811 share of the Big Ten’s payment for having played in the bowl game. Previously, Smith had said Ohio State had already offered “severe” sanctions. Smith also said he looked forward to hearing Ohio State’s final penalties in 8 to 12 weeks — much longer than the 6-to-8 week window he mentioned previously. Tressel declined to answer questions as he hustled with his attorney through the hotel’s lobby. He did leave behind a news release. “I had an open and constructive exchange with the committee on infractions,” the statement read. “They were well prepared and will now go about their work in deliberations. Again, I would like to apologize to the Buckeye nation, most especially to the players, staff and fans who remain so dear to me.” ESPN.com reported earlier this week Ohio State had received a letter from the NCAA saying it was looking into additional allegations. But Smith, reading from a statement, said, “The NCAA staff concluded that the evidence at this time does not warrant additional allegations and that our joint review of any remaining items did not necessitate a delay to today’s hearing.” The central point of the hearing was the contention — admitted by Tressel — that he alone among Ohio State officials broke NCAA bylaws when he learned some of his players had accepted improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner in April 2010. He then declined to tell Ohio State or NCAA officials for more than nine months, contrary to his contract and other NCAA rules. In effect, Tressel knowingly played ineligible players throughout last season. Tressel’s decision led Ohio State to pressure him to step down in May after 10 seasons, a 106-22 record, seven Big Ten titles and the 2002 national championship. It also sparked the NCAA investigation. The NCAA committee will determine if Ohio State’s sanctions went far enough. It could tack on a bowl ban or limit the Buckeyes’ number of recruits, among other possibilities. The NCAA has informed Ohio State that the two most serious findings it could hit the school with — lack of institutional control and failure to monitor players and coaches — are off the board based on information it has received so far. Six Ohio State players were suspended for the first five games this fall for trading memorabilia for cash and discounted tattoos. Pryor, one of those suspended players, gave up his final year of eligibility for a shot at playing in the NFL. One other player has left the program; yet another player will sit out the season-opener. Smith told The Associated Press earlier this week that the investigations into the players’ actions and those of Tressel have cost Ohio State’s athletic department about $800,000 so far. The hearing took place in the large Indiana ballroom on the first floor of the downtown Marriott. The room had 38 microphones placed on tables set up in a square. There were guards preventing the public or media from entering any of the 14 doors along two sides that open to a common hallway of the hotel. Ohio State and its NCAA consultants, The Compliance Group, met for almost 5 hours on Thursday night to discuss its case. The 10-member committee on infractions, chaired by Mideastern Athletic Conference Commissioner Dennis Thomas, heard testimony and asked questions. When the committee’s recommended penalties are expected announced, Ohio State can appeal the verdict. Ohio State officials have worked closely with the NCAA since last December in a climate where several bigtime football (Southern California, North Carolina) and men’s basketball (Tennessee, Connecticut) programs have been or are in trouble, there is an undercurrent that the NCAA may choose to take a hard line on the Buckeyes’ violations. The most recent spate of rule-breaking at Ohio State overlapped with probation remaining from when the men’s basketball program committed major violations under then-coach Jim O’Brien in 2004. That makes Ohio State a so-called repeat violator and could affect the school’s treatment by the NCAA. JUST ARRIVED!

The league has informed its 32 teams the supplemental draft is Wednesday, but the former Ohio State quarterback is not on an approved list — at least so far — that includes several other players. An NFL official with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press on Thursday that four players have been declared eligible. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has said an official announcement on the draft will not be made until after it takes place. The eligible players are former Georgia running back Caleb King, former Northern Illinois safety Tracy Wilson, former Western Carolina cornerback Torez Jones and former Lindenwood University defensive end Keenan Mace. The league could still expand the list before the draft. The supplemental draft allows qualified underclassmen who did not request early entry into the regular draft to have a chance to enter the NFL. Pryor's agent Drew Rosenhaus wrote on his Twitter feed Tuesday that the NFL told him "no decision has been made yet Terrelle's eligibility for the supplemental draft." A star with the Buckeyes for three years, Pryor and several teammates were suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for receiving improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. The quarterback subsequently left school, hoping he'd be eligible for the supplemental draft. If the NFL says Pryor is not eligible, he would have to wait until next April for the 2012 draft. �Sunday, August 14, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B5 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Reggie, the Dog of a Thousand Tears (Conclusion) The old black Labrador just laid there happily thumping his tail and winced just a little bit at the first injection, then almost instantly settled back down as we comforted him. We took advantage of the very short time we had remaining, talking to him and petting him. I laid there on the ground next to him there in the yard, as Mary and I stroked and petted him, and he rolled over onto his back for one final belly rub. He loved the attention and the belly rubs, so I rubbed his old gray tummy and talked to him, told him he was a fine dog as he fell asleep, deeply comforted that his final sensation was that of lying there enjoying a good tummy rubbing, surrounded by people he loved. Too soon, his breathing settled into the deep, slow rhythm of sleep. Kelly administered the second injection, and within moments it over. Reggie gave a final, deep sigh and then moved no more. It really wasn’t that bad; he just went to sleep and never woke up - his light was snuffed, the spark extinguished. It was a peaceful and dignified end for a beloved family pet. It wasn’t a hard decision, but the only decision, and it was one I don’t regret. Dogs as pets give us so much in their short lives that they don’t deserve to suffer the indignities we as humans are often forced to bear in our old ages. I hear people condemn lethal injection as cruel In the Open Jim Freeman or inhumane, but the truth is we should all be so lucky to go that peacefully. (For the record, I have not read or seen Marley and Me. I have refused to watch it; if this story sounds similar it is because I have lived it.) Mary and I gently picked him up and set him in the wheelbarrow and I carted him over to a portion of the old pasture long since designated as the pet cemetery where he would join two other dogs, a cat and a cockatiel. My wife, God love her, had started work on a large hole and had already selected a large, flat rock to lay over Reggie’s resting place. I asked Mary if I should remove his collar, now that he was free, and she said, “No, it belongs to him, he earned it.” I laid him gently in the hole and he looked like he was sleeping. I covered him with feed sacks, covering his head last, pausing to give it a final stroking before that too was covered. Finally we laid the large slab flat over the top of the mound, allowing some extra dirt for settling. Mary didn’t want anything to disturb where he lay. It was a somber little gathering. Sobbing unashamedly, the only words I could think to say were “He always tried to be a good dog.” If I could, I would carve that on his rock, “He always tried to be good.” The other dogs paid little attention to the proceedings; our miniature schnauzer, Dash, was clueless, but I swear that Julie sulked for several days, mourning in her own way. The scars to the house, where Reggie tried to gnaw his way in during thunderstorms, remain. I will never hear another thunderstorm approaching in the distance and not think about Reggie. Reggie was The Dog of a Thousand Tears. People who really know me have accused me of being like a well-done marshmallow, a little crusty on the outside but soft in the middle. In any event, you haven’t truly tasted life if you have never loved something enough that you haven’t cried when it was taken away. I still miss that friendly old dog, and can see his familiar face just as clearly in my mind as I could that heartbreakingly beautiful November day. In my years I have seen and experienced many things and places in this harsh world, and have grasped the real nature of mankind. Therefore, it’s an unfortunate and sad truth that there are many people in this world I care about a great deal less than I did that old dog. The Lord will just have to forgive me. Life goes on. Mary, the girls and I, we are all “dog people” so there are other dogs in our life now. The aforementioned Dash remains, as does Mars (a strange unidentified-breed of dog) and even another miniature schnauzer, Lily. Julie sadly enough has joined Reggie underneath the old pasture beneath her own pile of stones. And to this day, I still haven’t been allowed to pick out another puppy. Dash, Mars and Lily will someday have their own stories, but for the time-being, to steal a line from Neil Young, long may they run. This, however, was Reggie’s story, and if there was one thing I will always remember about Reggie, it’s that he always tried to be a good dog. Invite from Page B1 for a team score. The victory allowed Gallia Academy to improve its season record in competition to a perfect 22-0, something that sits very well with fourth-year GAHS coach Corey Luce. But, as Luce noted, there is still a lot of golf to be played this season. “Our guys played well today. We set a goal this week, and with this win we are one step closer to accomplishing that goal,” Luce said. “I’m happy with how we are playing thus far, but I am more pleased with our attitude and dedication to getting better. “It’s been a good week for us so far, but we still have a lot of work to do to get better. We cannot be satisfied with where we are just yet.” Nick Saunders led the Blue Devils with a par round of 72, followed by Robert Canady with 77 and Boeing Smith with 80. Corey Arthur rounded out the winning tally with an 87, while Derrick Gilmore added an effort of 91. Austin Bagshaw of Hillsboro won medalist honors with a 3-under par round of 69. Saunders and Ironton’s Josh Zornes were corunners-up with matching 72s. Only nine golfers shot 80 or better on the day, and three of those accomplishments were turned in by Blue Devils.

Indeed, Wellston was in need of a renovation at C.H. Jones Field. “I’ll be honest. When I first came here and I saw these facilities, my heart sank,” mechanical engineer and television personality Deanne Bell, cohost of ESPN RISE UP, told the crowd of an estimated 600 people outside the stadium Saturday night. “You have been through so much with the limited resources that you have. I know it’s been tough for you guys, but we saw this and we knew that you guys deserve this opportunity. I have the honor of telling you that those (difficult) days are over. It has been our utmost pleasure to be here in Wellston. It has been the outpouring of kindness and to see how this project has transformed your community. You guys have rallied together around RISE UP.” ESPN RISE UP, specifically co-host and ESPN college football analyst Chris Spielman, originally announced Wellston on May 27 as a selection for its television series. The announcement occurred just 11 days after the passing of longtime Wellston boys basketball coach Jim Derrow, and at a time when Wellston is suffering through financial hardship, empty storefronts along Ohio Avenue, and overall poor facilities. Spielman, a former Ohio State Buckeye, National Football League standout and northeast Ohio native, said “we were inspired by your story and we’re inspired by your spirit.” “When we heard about Wellston’s story, we heard about the many challenges that this town faces, its sports teams face and that your families face. Deanne (Bell) and I were both touched by your story,” Spielman spoke to the crowd. “The downloaded on our website, AHAMA ALL OF h t t p : / / w w w. o o m c i n t y r e parkdistrict.org AME MEETING For more information please contact: Mark Danner at 446MASON, W.Va. — The 4612 ext. 255 Wahama high School Athletic Hall of Fame Board of Trustees will be conducting a meeting at EET THE 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16 EAMS NIGHT at the high school.

You don’t quit. You keep fighting and pull together as opposed to pulling apart. That’s the Wellston spirit.” Spielman and Bell’s remarks were met with loud and appreciative applause each time. Inspired by ESPN RISE’s mission to engage and elevate high school athletes through recognition, resources, information and inspiration, the series chronicles the renovation of a different school each week. Each episode, as stated in an ESPN press release, will follow as community members come together to refurbish the one thing that ties an entire town together — the local high school athletic program. In Wellston’s instance, C.H. Jones Field is most identifiable, as the site is along the main street through the city — Pennsylvania Avenue. A long line of fans, donned in the school’s colors of Blue and Gold, waited with excitement outside of the stadium Saturday night. “There are many schools that deserve help. But there is something special about this community. I was impressed, but I wasn’t surprised. I knew Wellston would rally around this and make it happen,” Spielman told The Jackson County TimesJournal in a post-reveal interview. “Football and sports are a great way to galvanize a community. Hopefully, this will do it.” One would have to agree. After opening speeches by Bell and Spielman, the crowd filed into the new-look facility for a ceremony. Bell presented Wellston with its “new field with a new sprinkler system and a foundation of soil that is built to last for years to come.” A sod surface has been installed with an irrigation system, replacing the natural grass surface that was watered with the antiquated “rain train.” The crown in the 8th Meigs County Fair 4 1 August 15 - 20 Mon., Aug. 15 ...................

Easily the most visible changes — or additions — are a paved surface which encircles the field and large vinyl graphics, which greatly decorate the bleachers on both sides. Large artwork with “Home of the Golden Rockets” is now on the outside of the visitors’ bleachers. Similar graphics and artwork are on the inside, including “Golden Rockets”, “Mission Control” and “Bob Walton Press Box” on the two-tier press box itself, which remained the same. From that same press box is a new state-of-theart public address system, in which Wellston PA announcer Walter “Bub” Norris tested it out. The imaginary play Norris called — a Jaylen Prater pitch to Noah Massie around the right end — resulted in a touchdown run of at least 40 yards, much to the delight of the fans in the re-painted home stands. Speaking of paint, there was also an obvious overhaul to the lockerrooms and weightroom. Both the home and visitors’ sides were re-done with colorful paint jobs, plumbing work and new rubber flooring. The fieldhouse features a new equipment room and new equipment, as well as a re-done coaches’ office and conference room. There are also two large video “smartboards”, which are extremely useful for players and coaches. “I’m just kind of in awe to come in and see the great things that they have done.

I never thought I’d see anything quite like that here at Wellston,” said Wellston head football coach Chris Hutchinson. “The weightroom is completely re-done. The coaches’ office, the locker-room, the equipment room, everything is so nice and clean. We have ‘smartboards’ in there, a conference room, all those things that help us as coaches and players.” Andy Graham of BrenMar Construction of Jackson, the local company which worked with RISE UP, said “I am very satisfied with how this project turned out.” “All of the sod was stripped off, new topsoil was put on, an irrigation system was put in place, and of course new sod. The city (of Wellston) was kind enough to give us a tap and a 12-inch water main for the irrigation system. We also had G&J paving come in and pave around the field for everybody. We noticed our goalposts weren’t regulation either. So we decided to cut those off and put regulation goalposts up,” said Graham. “Inside the fieldhouse, there wasn’t a lot of structural work or code work, but it was painting, rubber flooring, new vinyl wraps, new equipment and new uniforms.” Speaking of new uniforms, Russell Athletic donated new uniforms to all of the Wellston sports teams except the cheerleaders, which had their uniforms donated by Varsity. Wellston City Schools Superintendent Karen Boch said the makeover left her “speechless.” ”I’m going to be honest, I’m kind of speechless, I’m sorry. I never dreamed that it could look like it does. We take great pride in what we have and we do the best we can with what we have. To have somebody come in and actually design for the Wellston Golden Rockets, it’s breath-taking. I just can’t describe it,” said Boch. “I’m just so excited for our kids. Because of (Wellston City School Board member) Gretchen Crabtree planting the seed, that really got the ball rolling and from there, it was really everybody working together to make this happen. I can’t thank our community members and all of the communities around us enough for all that they have done to help us gain this facility.” Spielman said he was happy for the Wellston athletes as well. “It’s special to see the kids’ eyes light up when you walk into the room and they see what they have now compared to what they used to have,” he said. “But these kids never complained about their situation. They just said here is our story. There wasn’t any begging or pleading. They said this is what we have and what we would like to have. If you can help, great! If not, we’ll still be here.” Hutchinson hailed the work on behalf of his players. “The kids of course love it. They asked me if we could have a midnight lift tonight (Saturday night). I think they were in awe too. They were really pumped up about it,” he said. “We came off a long camp, we came off a hard week of two-adays. We can use this as a shot in the arm right before the season. We’re looking forward to working in there and being here.” The Golden Rockets had been practicing and The Duck Derby � �� ��� � � � ������ �� � ��� conducting workouts at Gettles Industrial Park, but are — as of Monday Hutchinson said Saturday night — back at C.H. Jones Field. Ever since the May 27 announcement, ESPN had been super-secretive about exactly what renovations were occurring, wanting to maintain the element of surprise. Despite her position as the school district’s leader, Boch said she wasn’t even aware. “People can’t believe I didn’t know what was going on. But I didn’t know what was going on. I was not allowed in,” she said. “They wanted me to be just as surprised. It’s like Christmas. You don’t want to spoil all of the surprises.” And for Wellston, that “Christmas” came courtesy of a Santa Claus called ESPN RISE UP. “We would like to thank ESPN RISE UP for selecting Wellston, Ohio,” said Graham. In his closing remarks to the crowd, Spielman said: “On behalf of RISE UP, you are the epitome of what a community is. Even in tough times, you don’t feel sorry for yourself, you rally around each other. When trials and tribulations keep coming, you keep fighting.

The head coach’s job was vacated. Now a bunch of 20somethings coming off summer vacation are left with the previously unfathomable task of picking up the pieces at tattered Ohio State. “We still hold ourselves to a high standard,” says Joe Bauserman, an unknown backup quarterback who now may hold the Buckeyes’ season in his hands. “We expect to win and that’s what we’re going to do.” But expecting to win and actually doing it are two dramatically different things heading into the most troublesome of Ohio State’s 122 seasons of bedrock football. The program has never faced anything like this. Luke Fickell, a linebackers coach the previous nine years at his alma mater, is the interim head coach. He calls the last few months “a whirlwind, exciting, crazy, emotional.” Now that all the accusations and allegations have given way to actually taking the field and practicing, the next few weeks figure to be all of that and more. Even without the controversy, the NCAA investigation, the suspensions and the departures, this would be a tumultuous preseason. The Buckeyes must replace seven starters on defense and four on offense, not to mention being without four prime contributors (leading rusher Dan Herron, top receiver DeVier Posey, starting offensive lineman Mike Adams and backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas) who were suspended for the first five games of the fast approaching season. First on the to-do list is quarterback, where Pryor had taken almost every snap for the past two years. There are four candidates to replace him, each with his own distinct qualities and shortcomings. Bauserman, a former minor-league baseball player who is an avid hunter, has his sights set on the job. He’s the most experienced. Kenny Guiton, a redshirt sophomore, is more mobile and just as good a passer. Secondyear freshman Taylor Graham is tall and has a strong arm, just like his father Kent, a former Ohio State quarterback. Neither he nor Guiton have ever really faced opposing fire. Braxton Miller, the prize of the newest recruiting class, is raw and talented. He looks lost at times during drills but shows great potential. Guiton might be the safest bet because he is the most versatile candidate. “I feel like I’ve done some great things out there; I feel like I’ve done some things I need to work on,” he said, echoing words that could be used to describe all four of the quarterbacks. “I’ll get better.” Another critical area is wide receiver, where the Buckeyes lost MVP Dane Sanzenbacher. Until Posey gets back on the field, those green quarterbacks will have to rely on replacements who have a combined 12 catches in their college careers. On defense, holes left by graduated linemen Dexter Larimore and Cameron Heyward, linebackers Ross Homan and Brian Rolle and backs Chimdi Chekwa, Aaron Gant, Jermale Hines and Devon Torrence are gaping. There are plenty of worthy fill-ins, but much like the situation with the NCAA, no one knows for sure how it’ll all work itself out. Despite questions about personnel, Fickell said there are no doubts about the Buckeyes’ motivation. “The attitudes are right. Guys are working together as a team,” he said. “They understand it’s all about each other. They’ve got the right focus.” Almost no one outside of the locker room expects much of the Buckeyes, winners of a record-tying six straight Big Ten titles until last year was erased from the memory banks. With the months of turmoil in their past, the specter of more NCAA penalties hanging over the program and the loss of all those departed stars, many are predicting four, five or even more losses. Ohio State hasn’t lost six in a season since 1999. “Yeah, it drives us a little bit because it’s always in the back of your head,” fullback Zach Boren says. “We’re so used to being, you know, the Big Ten champions and stuff like that, or ranked No. 1 preseason or whatever. But we look it as kind of fun. It’s kind of fun being the underdog for once. It’s a change of scenery.” After the past few months, a change of scenery in Columbus is welcome. It remains to be seen if it’ll be fun. Nebraska already marked team in Big Ten volleyball LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — This Nebraska-Penn State rivalry is about to get really fun. The volleyball season hasn’t even started and Nittany Lions coach Russ Rose already is tweaking the Huskers, picking the Big Ten newcomers to win the conference championship. This comes from the coach of the program that has won four straight national championships and eight consecutive Big Ten titles. “Well, you can ask Russ Rose how many sandbags he has and tell him thanks for putting that on us,” Nebraska coach John Cook said Wednesday. Responded Rose: “I don’t sandbag and I don’t ever blow us up. I’m past the point in my life where I’ve got to play (mind) games. It’s just my opinion. It doesn’t mean I’m not going to try to win. We’re going to try to be the best we can be.” Cook said he didn’t fill out a preseason coaches poll ballot because he isn’t familiar enough with the personnel in the Big Ten. Results of the poll come out next week. Nebraska, which won last year’s Big 12 title and six of the last seven, has more than just Penn State to worry about in the Big Ten. Eight Big Ten teams were in the NCAA tournament last year, six made it to the regional semifinals and a record eight teams won 20 matches or more. “We’ve arguably been the best conference in the country for five, six, eight or nine years,” Michigan coach Mark Rosen said. “There are arguments for other conferences, but we’d be in the discussion. Nebraska takes the argument out. You’re adding a top-five premium program with great crowd support and tradition.” Nebraska goes into its new conference ranking No. 2 in all-time wins and with three national championships. Cook said he knows everybody in the league will have its match against Nebraska circled on the calendar — especially Penn State. Nebraska hasn’t played the Nittany Lions since losing a five-set match to them in the 2008 NCAA semifinals in Omaha. The Huskers have won 11 of 17 matches in the series. Though more than a thousand miles separate the schools and until this year they played in different conferences, tension between the two is palpable. “We’ve had some great matches with them,” Cook said. “The 2008 match kind of cemented that rivalry, if you want to call it a rivalry. If there was volleyball on ESPN Classic, that would be a match being played.” Rose graduated from Nebraska and says the Huskers are his secondfavorite team in every college sport. But he has been critical of Cook for not bringing the Huskers to State College, Pa., in their pre-Big Ten days, and in 2008 Rose refused to grant a release to a player who wanted to transfer to Nebraska. “Russ and I — I wouldn’t say we’re best friends, but we have a good relationship,” Cook said. “It’s hot and cold. It’s like dating.” The Huskers lost three All-Americans from last year’s 29-3 team that lost at Washington in the NCAA regional semifinals. But they have back first-team All-American Brooke Delano, Big 12 defensive player of the year Hannah Werth and the Big 12 newcomer of the year in setter Lauren Cook. “But over a third of our team is new, has never played for Nebraska, and three-quarters of my coaching staff is new,” he said. � �� � ���� �� �� ��� ��� � ��� FRIDAY 8/26 5:30pm Broken Ring 6:30pm The Mudfork Blues Band 7:30pm Jazz Spoken Here 8:30pm C&S Railroad 9:30pm Sam Lamont Blues Band 10:30pm Sit Down Baby �" '�� ����'& �%! �(&' #�� �'�'� �'� ��� ���% ��%%�&#")� �� �� � ��!�&&�#" SATURDAY 8/27 Electric Stage � ��!$�"� �#% 12:00pm Duke Junior and the Smoky Boots '�� �"'�%� *����"�� 1:15pm Sit Down Baby 2:30pm Magic Mama Band �# � �&& #'' �& � ��&�� 3:45pm Dennis McClung Blues Band 5:15pm Ellie Lee & Blues Fury 6:45pm The Mudfork Blues Band #+�"& #� �%'�&�"&� 7:45pm James Armstrong Blues Band #"��&&�#"&� (" �!�'�� 9:15pm Larry Garner Blues Band 10:45pm The Jimi Vincent Band $�%��"� � ��!$�"�� Acoustic Stage 12:45pm/2:00pm Todd Burge 3:15pm/4:45pm The Bob Stewart Band 6:15pm/7:15pm Izzy and Chris !#%� �"�#%!�'�#" �)�� �� � #" #(% *��&�'� ***��##'�� &!(&���#%� � ������ Ohio State-Michigan to play in Indiansʼ ballpark CLEVELAND (AP) — The bitter Ohio StateMichigan rivalry is about to get really icy. The two schools, sworn enemies in just about everything, will play the first outdoor college hockey game in Ohio at Progressive Field — home of the Cleveland Indians — on Jan. 15. The matchup, dubbed “The Frozen Diamond Faceoff” will be the marquee event as part of the Indians’ second “Snow Days” promotion at the ballpark, a two-month winter-themed experience that drew more than 50,000 fans in its first year. The Buckeyes and Wolverines will play on a regulation-sized rink situated on the Indians’ infield, stretching from the area around home plate down the first-base line. The AP first reported the event in June. Indians president Mark Shapiro is hoping the 43,000-seat ballpark will be packed. “We think it’s going to be sold out,” Indians president Mark Shapiro said. “You have avid fans from Michigan and Ohio State, and you’ve got a rivalry that’s meaningful.” The teams will meet in Columbus on Jan. 13 before traveling to Cleveland in what will be a Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) home game for Ohio State. The Wolverines have already played in a wildly successful outdoor game. Last December, they hosted cross-state rival Michigan State in “The Big Chill at the Big House,” a game that drew over 100,000 fans to Michigan’s mammoth football stadium. “It’s a great way to promote college hockey,” said Josh Richelew, Michigan’s director of hockey operations. “There’s no better way than taking the MichiganOhio State rivalry and bringing it to a wonderful facility. This is one of the premier ballparks in the country. We’re very excited about it.” Both schools will sell tickets on campus, and they each get a share of the gate.

(AP) — West Virginia hit the fastforward button on the Dana Holgorsen era. There were no complaints from the former Oklahoma State offensive coordinator, whose first head coaching job coincides with higher expectations with the Mountaineers. West Virginia has not gone to a Bowl Championship Series game or compiled a 10-win season since 2007. “I’m really excited about the fact that we’re able to do this a year early,” Holgorsen said. He got that chance because seven months after Holgorsen was hired as offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting, coach Bill Stewart was forced out in June. Stewart had been scheduled to step down after the 2011 season. It was one of many offseason distractions that included an intoxicated Holgorsen being escorted out of a casino, the university being placed on two years’ probation for major rules violations, and the dismissal of linebacker Branko Busick following his arrest on an armed robbery charge. The start of fall practice couldn’t have come sooner. “As a team, we really didn’t focus on a lot of that outside stuff,” full- Stephen M.

With third all-time leading rusher Noel Devine and all-time leading receiver Jock Sanders gone, finding the best playmakers to complement quarterback Geno Smith is Holgorsen’s biggest challenge heading into the Sept. 4 season opener against Marshall. “Offensively, we’re still a work in progress,” Holgorsen said. “We’ll take what we got and figure out who our best players are, and we’ll figure out how to play them and get them the ball. You never have exactly what you want, but we’ll take what we have and find a way to make it work.” West Virginia’s fortunes start with Smith, who threw for 2,763 yards with 24 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in his first year as a starter. Devoted Ohio State fan sculpts ʻThe Coachʼ FOSTORIA, Ohio (AP) — Andy Sacksteder is an Ohio State fan through and through. He graduated from OSU with a degree in landscape horticulture in 1978 and now owns Linden Landscaping Company in Fostoria. Originally from That State Up North, Sacksteder comes from a family of Michigan fans, but his alma mater turned him into a Buckeye for life. “There’s so much energy around the game of football down there,” Sacksteder said. “I’ve never seen it before. It’s like going to a rock concert or something.” With two sons now attending Ohio State, Sacksteder keeps an eye on the Buckeyes during football season when he’s not busy with work. For the past four years during the winter months, however, when landscaping and football come to the end of their seasons, Sacksteder took up a new passion: sculpting. He started small, making first a hand, then a small mermaid, then progressing to a couple busts. Sunday, August 14, 2011 Last year, he was ready to graduate to his first life-size bronze statue. Without being commissioned, the decision of what to sculpt was a big one. Not only is the production of such a work a long, laborious process, it’s expensive. Once finished, the bronze icon will last for hundreds, even thousands, of years without decay. So after a decent amount of thought, and a healthy dose of disapproval from well-meaning family and friends, Sacksteder’s choice seemed easy. Naturally, he would sculpt the legendary Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes. “I’ve just always been an Ohio State fan, for as long as I can remember,” Sacksteder said. “And a lot of people don’t understand it, but (Hayes) just had a huge passion. And maybe he was over the top, but that’s what passion is I think.” Wayne Woodrow “Woody” Hayes coached the Buckeyes from 19511978. He was well known for his interaction with students, his love of Ohio State, and his extreme passion for football.

Coming soon: A new livestock showring Ridenour family gift to Meigs Fair BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@ MYDAILYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – A halfcentury of participating in the Meigs County Fair so inspired James L “Jim” Ridenour of Ridenour Gas Service that he and his wife decided to make a donation to the Fair Board for construction of a new pavilion-type structure to replace the current 40year-old showring on the Rock Springs Fairgrounds. “This donation makes it possible for a much needed upgrade in the place where hundreds of animals are shown year after year,” said Ed Holter, Fair Board president, adding that without the Ridenour donation it would have been a long time before the Fair Board could have gotten enough money together to replace the old showring. Holter said the site work and construction of the new 60x100 foot structure, to be named the “Ridenour Livestock Arena,” will begin this fall. The plan is to had a dedication ceremony on the opening day of the 2012 Meigs County Fair. While the old 60x60 foot showring, built in the 1970s, has served fair activities well, Holter was enthusiastic at the thought of having a bigger and better place in which to show animals and hold various other activities. “But without this donation from the Ridenours we couldn’t be looking forward to that right now,” he commented. Ridenour was sentimental as he talked about his participation at the fair the past 50 years. He recalled that his first year there was the 100th anniversary of the fair. “I’ve never missed one since,” he said. “I’ve always had a display in the commercial building and bought several animals at the livestock sale.” He also traditionally sponsors two days at the fair - Kiddie Day and Senior Citizens Day. He proudly displays in his business the sale banners and pictures of himself with the animals he’s purchased. For the last two years he has bought animals and then donated them to an organization which does the processing and returns the meat to a Meigs County food pantry for distribution to needy families here. Ridenour Gas Service has been owned by James L. Ridenour for 57 years. He started the business in 1953 with a T.V. and Appliance Sales and Service store, and then in 1966 became a Doxol Propane dealer before going independent in 1988. He now provides service to residential and commercial customers in six counties in Ohio and three in West Virginia. The business is a member of the NPGA (National Propane Gas Association) and the OPGA (Ohio Propane Gas Association.) “Our customers are our number one priority. We are supporters of the youth of Meigs and Athens counties, along with local charities around the community,” said Ridenour. The donation toward construction of the new showring is just more evidence of his community spirit. Holter said the new arena will be twice the size of the current building. It will extend from the animal washing area to the fence near the tick- Banners and photos hanging in Jim Ridenourʼs business in Chester tell the story of his livestock purchases at the Meigs County Fair. et taking entrance. Features will include a drive through weigh-in area allowing animal trailers to move right through the building. The bleachers will be portable and easily transition from one location to another inside the open pavilion so as to accommodate whatever activities might be going on there. There will be special lighting, like that used in gymnasiums, a fire alarm system, a new champion alley for animals at one end of the building, and an office for use by the Meigs Junior Fair Board. “But it takes people like the Ridenours to keep the fair sustainable with capital improvements,” said Holter, “because without donations like this the fair board wouldn’t be able to make major improvements like constructing this new showring.” This old 60x60-foot showring built more than 40 years ago will be torn down after the fair closes and a new 60x100-foot open pavilion-type showring will be built. Fair Board members Ed Holter, Sam Evans and Mike Parker, seated in the old showring, look over plans for the new livestock arena to go under construction this fall. �Sunday, August 14, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C2 Gallipolis Elks presents cerebral palsy grants GALLIPOLIS — Exalted Ruler of Gallipolis Elks Lodge 107, Georgio Alderigi, presented cerebral palsy grants to Kay Davis, Director of Education, Meigs County Board of Mental Retardation/ Developmental Disabilities (MR/DD), and Susan Eachus, Principal, Guiding Hand School, Gallia County Board of MR/DD. The grants are provided by the Ohio Elks Cerebral Palsy Fund Board which is administered by the Ohio Elks Association. This year, the Ohio Elks Cerebral Palsy Fund Board provided $228,800 to 35 Cerebral Palsy treatment centers throughout Ohio. The term cerebral palsy refers to any one of a number of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination. Even though cerebral palsy affects muscle movement, it isn’t caused by problems in the muscles or nerves. It is caused by abnormalities in parts of the brain that control muscle movements. The majority of children with cerebral palsy are born with it, although it may not be detected until months or years later. The most common are a lack of muscle coordination when performing voluntary movements (ataxia); stiff or tight muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity); walking with one foot or leg dragging; walking on the toes, a crouched gait, or a “scissor” gait; and muscle tone that is either too stiff or too floppy. Cerebral palsy can’t be cured, but treatment will often improve a child's capabilities. Many children go on to enjoy nearnormal adult lives if their disabilities are properly managed. In general, the earlier treatment begins the better chance children have of overcoming developmental disabilities or learning new ways Advertising slowing down with economy uncertain LOS ANGELES (AP) — While many businesses have been searching for signs of an economic recovery, big media conglomerates were enjoying a robust revival — until quite recently. For the likes of Disney, CBS, NBCUniversal and News Corp., advertising revenue growth —which slumped during the Great Recession — had come roaring back in 2010. But now, as consumer sentiment dampens and the economy shows signs of another recession, ad revenue growth is beginning to slow again. Two advertising agencies have cut forecasts in the past month. Media companies head into an uncertain final half of 2011, as investor worries have sent their stock prices tumbling. “We’ve had this great advertising market, which everybody’s been benefiting from,” said Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst with media company research firm Wedge Partners. “The term I keep using is, ‘Is this as good as it gets?’” In 2010, the mid-term congressional elections generated hundreds of millions of dollars in political ad spending. Retailers and auto companies increased their spending late last year, as well. That robustness a year ago will make it 00 tough to show growth in the second half of this year. Economic uncertainty will make it even tougher. When the economy slows, advertising spending by companies does as well. The deepest trough in the ad market and in media companies’ stocks came in March 2009 as companies pulled back marketing expenditures and the U.S. economy collapsed. The Dow Jones Media Titans 30 Index, which tracks media company stocks, hit a low of 128.81 on March 9, 2009. The index, whose top components include The Walt Disney Co. and Time Warner Inc., came back strongly as the economy rebounded, cresting at 300.78 on July 5 of this year. But in recent days, economic news hasn’t been good. Consumer sentiment hit a historic low. Job growth is not enough to dramatically lower U.S. unemployment. And, the housing market remains in the doldrums. At its close at 252.74 points on Friday, the index is down 16 percent from its peak. ZenithOptimedia, a unit of advertising agency parent Publicis Groupe, recently trimmed its forecast for ad spending growth in the U.S. in 2011 to 2.1 percent from 2.5 percent. Pictured, from left to right, are: President Georgio Alderigi; Susan Eachus, Director of Guiding Hand School, Gallia County Board of MR/DD; Kay Davis, Director of Education, Meigs County Board of MR/DD; and Richard Borton, Trustee Chairman. palsy as its major state project and has over the years contributed to clinics, hospitals, and youth camps to provide early treatment of Cerebral to accomplish the tasks that challenge them. The Gallipolis Elks Lodge, in conjunction with the Ohio Elks Association, has established cerebral Palsy. Locally, the monies provided to the Gallia County Board of MR/DD will help purchase iPads to help the children with sensory training. The Meigs County Board of MR/DD in Syracuse, Ohio, will also apply the grant towards sensory training for the students. Banker appointed to panel COLUMBUS — Erin Krawsczyn, Human Resource Director at Farmers Bank & Savings Company, Pomeroy, has been appointed to serve on the Ohio Bankers League’s Next Generation Advisory Board. Krawsczyn is one of 14 bankers selected to serve on this statewide panel. The Board was set up to give high—caliber young bankers an opportunity to guide the direction of the banking industry and Ohio’s leading financial institution trade association. “Finding and nurturing future leadership talent is a primary concern for most industries and banking is no different,” commented OBL Vice President of State Government Relations Mike Adelman. “It is clear we have an enthusiastic core of young bankers in Ohio who are waiting for the opportunity to become more involved with their industry.” The group will meet quarterly to discuss current banking develop- ments and share best practices. About the Ohio Bankers League The Ohio Bankers League is the trade association for the Ohio banking industry — and is Ohio's only organization focused on meeting the needs of all banks and thrifts in the Buckeye State. For more than 100 years, the OBL has been the voice of the Ohio banking industry fostering a cooperation that has made it one of the strongest and most reputable financial trade associations in the country. By linking banks, bankers, and industry experts — and by pooling their intellectual and capital resources — the OBL serves as a powerful creator of knowledge and collective resources. The nonprofit association is comprised of 200 FDIC-insured financial institutions including commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations ranging in size from more than $1.3 trillion to just over $13 million in assets.

Edible flowers: Eat flowers only when you are positive they are edible. Wash all flowers thoroughly before you eat them. Introduce flowers into your diet in small quantities one species at a time. Remove pistils and stamens from flowers before eating. Separate the flowers petals from the rest of the flower just prior to use to keep wilting to a minimum. Eat only the flower petals for most flowers. Do not eat flowers from florists, nurseries or garden centers. In many cases these flowes have been treated with pesticides. Do not pick flowers from side of the road. Just because flowers are served at a restaurant does not mean they are edible. Edible Flowers — Tuberous begonias: eat leaves, flowers, and stems. Wax begonias: leaves and flowers are edible. Marigolds are a wonderful edible flower. Flavors range from spicy to bitter, tangy to peppery. Carnations can be steeped in wine, candy, or used as cake decoration.

If your young senior is collecting monthly Social Security benefits, here’s one more thing to add to your “Back-toSchool” checklist. To make sure that Social Security benefits continue beyond age 18, eligible students must obtain certification from school officials that they are still in high school and provide it to Social Security. Otherwise, monthly Social Security benefits automatically stop when a student turns 18. For more information about Social Security student benefits, visit www.socialsecurity.gov /schoolofficials. The website outlines how the process works with instructions on what the student and school official must do to ensure that benefits continue past the student’s 18th birthday. With the appropriate certification, Social Security generally does not stop benefits until the month before the month the student turns 19, or the first month in which he or she is not a full-time high school student, whichever is earlier. Some students receive Social Security survivors benefits because a parent is deceased. Others may get dependent benefits because their parent receives Social Security retirement or disability benefits. Benefits for minor children generally continue until age 18 — or 19 if they’re still in high school. The only excep- tion to this rule is if a student is disabled and eligible for childhood disability benefits. In that case, a separate application for benefits is required. Social Security’s website also includes: • A downloadable version of the required Student’s Statement Regarding School Attendance (Form SSA1372) that must be completed by the student, certified by the school, and returned to Social Security; • Answers to frequently asked questions for school officials and students; and • A field office locator to find the address of your local Social Security office. So as you’re buying school supplies, trying out back-to-school fashions, and figuring out when the holiday break begins, don’t forget the important step of visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/schoolofficials. Terrorist attacks: A universal television event NEW YORK (AP) — The first indication of the horrors to come was a single camera shot that suddenly appeared on television sets throughout the world: a skyscraper bathed in the morning sun, smoke pouring from a ragged hole in its side. The images grew even worse, as the entire world witnessed the death and destruction of Sept. 11, 2001. Whether in a bar in Tahiti or office building in New York, television was the central gathering place for people to experience 9/11. The Associated Press spoke to some viewers who watched it all unfold on TV, and to some people who were part of conveying the event and its aftermath to the world. Tom Brokaw was relieved to be in New York Sept. 11 and not out of town on assignment when the biggest story of his career broke. NBC News’ chief anchor found out later just how huge a relief it was to be. Ten years later, that day still seems surreal. “For those of us on the air, we were out there without a net of any kind,” he said. “We had no idea what was going to happen next. No one else did either.” At one point as the twin towers burned, Brokaw remarked on camera that they would have to be demolished when the fires went out. He wondered whether he had gone too far. Minutes later the first tower collapsed on its own. “It took everything I knew as a journalist and as a father, a husband and a citizen to get through that day,” Brokaw said. “And I was very grateful for the fact that I was 61 years old when it happened, to be given the responsibility that I had, because it took everything I had ever learned to get through that day. If I’d been 40, who knows?” Most Americans learned what happened on Sept. 11 and the ensuing days through three men: Brokaw of NBC News, Peter Jennings of ABC News and Dan Rather of CBS News. All three anchors were veteran reporters with two decades of anchoring experience and uniquely suited for the roles they had to perform. Brokaw is now semiretired, making documentaries and occasionally offering onscreen wisdom during big news events. Rather left CBS unpleasantly following a bungled story about George W. Bush’s military service and now has his own news show on HDNet. Jennings died of cancer in 2005. On the rainy night of Sept. 10, 2001, Brokaw attended a reception for a blind mountain climber. Later, the event’s organizer told him that it had been rescheduled because Brokaw was unable to make the original date. That was to have been Tuesday morning, Sept. 11 — at the Windows on the World restaurant on top of the World Trade Center. Nicole Rittenmeyer remembers screaming at Brokaw on Sept. 11. Not him personally. Seven months pregnant and with a toddler under foot, she was watching the coverage in Chicago and saw the first tower crumbling into a cloud of dust and a tangled mass of steel and concrete. Brokaw didn’t see it as quickly, and perhaps Rittenmeyer figured yelling at the TV set might get his attention. She’s seen that collapse countless times since. Starting with the “Inside 9/11” documentary she made for National Geographic in 2005, the filmmaker estimates she has spent five years of on projects about the terrorist attacks. Her latest, a sequel to the memorable “102 Minutes That Changed America” film of 2008 that focuses on the days after Sept. 11, premieres on the History network on Sept. 10. Hundreds of hours of attack footage exist. Rittenmeyer suggests it was the most filmed news event ever, and there’s probably much more hidden away in sock drawers. What does watching so much of 9/11 do to your mind? “There’s a process that you go through that automatically puts up a kind of barrier, because you’re working on it,” said Rittenmeyer. “There are certain pieces of footage that make the hair on my arms stand up or bring tears every time and probably always will.” One was shot by two college students who started filming out their window without really knowing what was going on, and caught the second plane knifing into the World Trade Center. They freaked out, an experience so visceral “it’s like you are them and they are you and you’re reliving this experience,” she said. “I feel like it’s really a privilege to have had that experience of reliving something like that, as awful as it is, through hundreds of people’s eyes,” she said. “Nobody gets that opportunity. It’s one of the reasons I do what I do. I’m clearly drawn to history and that kind of epic moment.” Dan Rather had little time to think about it when David Letterman asked him to be part of the first “Late Show” since the attacks. The night turned out to be one of the memorable television moments of the weeks after the attacks. The idea of resuming life had become a delicate issue in itself, with events such as the resumption of Major League baseball and a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden important milestones in that journey. The tone was particularly important for a New York-based comedy show and Letterman nailed it with the raw anger of his opening monologue. During 9/11 coverage, Rather worked hard to keep his emotions in check while on the air for CBS News. It was a grueling stretch that had the veteran anchor, then age 69, awake for 48 hours at one point. But with Letterman, Rather briefly broke down in tears twice. “The combination of being off of my own turf and the emotional hammer to the heart that was 9/11 that hit most people while it was unfolding just suddenly descended on me,” he recalled. “I was surprised, maybe even astounded, at how it went. “I was just engulfed, consumed by grief,” he said. “I’ve never apologized for that — didn’t then and I don’t now. Because, one doesn’t apologize for grief.” Rather, who said he hasn’t seen a tape of the appearance in years, did apologize in a way at the time. During the second breakdown, the oldschool newsman asked Letterman to go to com- WE PUMP SEPTIC TANKS!

Ashleigh Banfield had become so practiced at pushing aside memories of Sept. 11 — “it was a bad day” was her stock answer, before changing the subject — that being asked to recall specifics brought some tears. She was working at MSNBC that day, and disregarded a suggestion that she go to the network’s New Jersey headquarters. Instead, she headed downtown in a cab as far as it would take her and then on foot. Banfield was close enough to be enveloped in the black cloud created as the second tower collapsed. A companion kicked in a nearby building’s door and she sought refuge with a police officer who was also looking for a safe place to breathe. She emerged when the cloud began to lift and flagged down a nearby NBC truck that could film her as she gave reports into a cell phone. “For whatever reason, I thought all of the buildings were coming down,” she said. “If these two were coming down, what was next? I was so scared. So many people said you were so brave to do that reporting that day and I think just the opposite. I was just so childishly scared.” Got Migraine Headaches?

But on Sept. 11, 2001, Katz was about as far away from New York as you can get: studying for a semester in the Australian capital of Canberra. It was shortly before 10 p.m. in Canberra, about 170 miles southwest of Sydney, and a friend brought him to a student lounge so he could watch “The West Wing” for the first time. The series was interrupted to show what Katz thought was a private plane crashing into the trade center. He watched as other images filled the screen. About 30 other people quietly streamed into the lounge behind Katz, the only American. To the others in the lounge, it seemed like a Hollywood movie. To Katz, it was home. He broke down and cried uncontrollably. “I pride myself on having a fair bit of self-control and I completely lost myself in this situation,” said Katz, now a ministry fellow at Harvard University. “I could feel all these eyeballs in the back of my head. But I didn’t care.” His friends told him he might hear some ugly things in the coming days and he did; some folks suggested the United States deserved what happened. Katz didn’t return to the United States until December, missing the surge of patriotism that happened after the attacks. CHRISTIAN MORRIS CONSTRUCTION, INC.

Locklear spokeswoman Sarah Fuller confirmed the engagement on Friday but offered no other details. The actress’ divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was finalized in April 2007. She had been dating Wagner since at least 2008. Locklear and Wagner worked together in the 1990s on “Melrose Place,” a spinoff of “Beverly Hills, 90210.” Locklear played Amanda Woodward. Wagner played Dr. Peter Burns. Locklear also starred on the prime-time soap opera “Dynasty” and the William Shatner police drama “T.J. Hooker.” Wagner isn’t just an actor. He sang the 1980s pop hit “All I Need.” And he’s an accomplished golfer who twice has won the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, an event usually won by professional athletes. Police explode briefcase left for literary agent BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — A writer desperate to get a movie script read suffered the ultimate rejection Thursday when police blew up a briefcase he said contained the screenplay after an agent refused to read it, police said. The bizarre story was set in Beverly Hills, where a man visited the office of the literary agent and left behind a briefcase that he said contained a computer, police Sgt. Brad Cornelius said. The man left instructions for it to be delivered to someone at the business, who told another person in the office, “This guy’s been kind of pestering me to read his stuff” and said he neither asked for nor wanted the briefcase, Cornelius said. A security guard took the case into an alley, and a Los Angeles County sheriff’s bomb squad was sent to investigate the suspicious package. Officials sealed off one square block and evacuated dozens of people from a handful of businesses on nearby Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard before blowing open the briefcase, which contained no explosives. Police detained the man suspected of leaving the briefcase and questioned him before he was released, Cornelius said. His name and other details were not immediately released. Lewis and the band Alien Ant Farm, which is known for its cover of Jackson’s song “Smooth Criminal.” The announcement came after more than two weeks of silence about performers for the Oct. 8 show at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. While the event is endorsed by the singer’s mother and some of his siblings, brothers Randy and Jermaine Jackson have protested its timing. The concert is scheduled during the trial of a doctor charged in Jackson’s death. The singer’s estate is also not affiliated with the concert. lows real-life gypsy women planning to get married. The September issue of Vogue magazine goes inside the supermodel’s July wedding to musician Jamie Hince. Moss says she was charmed by the extravagance of gypsy weddings with wedding gowns that are like “blinging butterflies times ten.” The 37-year-old’s nuptials were also no small affair. She had 16 bridesmaids and flower girls, a carnival tent and tepees for children, specialty cocktails called Kate 76 made with vodka, champagne, crushed ice and sugar and a gown designed by John Galliano. Moss admits in the article that planning the wedding made her “mental.” The September issue of Vogue magazine goes on sale Aug. 23.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences board voted this week to give Walsh its Governors Award at the Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 10 in Los Angeles. The honor goes to a person or organization that makes a substantial impact or demonstrates an extraordinary use of television. Walsh became a crimefighting activist after his 6-year-old son, Adam, was kidnapped and killed in 1981. “America’s Most Wanted” publicized fugitives and has claimed responsibility for nearly 1,200 arrests since its 1988 premiere. Fox canceled the show this spring. Television academy chairman and CEO John Shaffner says the show is an example of how TV can be used to convey an important message.

Ancient sea reptile gave birth, didnʼt lay eggs WASHINGTON (AP) — The remains of a giant sea creature are providing the first proof that these prehistoric reptiles gave birth to their young rather than laying eggs. Plesiosaurs, which lived at the time of dinosaurs, were large carnivorous sea animals with broad bodies and two pairs of flippers. Researchers have long questioned whether they would have been able to crawl onto land and lay eggs like other reptiles or gave birth in the water like whales. “This is the first evidence of live birth in plesiosaurs — an exciting find,” said geology professor Judy A. Massare of the State University of New York, Brockport, who was not part of the research team. The newly unveiled fossil was originally dis- covered in 1987 in Logan County in Kansas. Encased in rock, it had been stored in the basement of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County until resources were available to separate the bones for display at the museum. F. Robin O’Keefe of Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va., and the museum’s Luis Chiappe uncovered the bones of an adult plesiosaur and the remains of a fetus inside her. The museum dated the fossil, which is more than 15 feet long, to between 72 million and 78 million years ago. The researchers report on their analysis of the pregnant plesiosaur in Friday’s edition of the journal Science. O’Keefe said he had seen photos of the fossil, but was still surprised when he first saw it. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C10 “I wasn’t prepared for the emotional response I had,” he said in a telephone interview. “You don’t very often walk up to one and say: ‘That is a really cool fossil.’” “I walked around it for about a half hour, it excited me the way I used to get excited as a kid,” he said. There had been evidence of live births in an ancestor of plesiosaurs. But the lack of proof for plesiosaur birth has been puzzling, said R. Ewan Fordyce, head of the geology department at the University of Otago, New Zealand, who was not involved in the research. Fordyce said the researchers do a good job showing “that this is a fetus and not a young animal that has been eaten.” He said it was the right size for a fetus and in the right place, and there’s no sign that it had been eaten and digested. Herman and Norene Fisher Layne of New Haven. The couple is the parents of a son, Bruce (Marjorie) Adams of Spring, Texas. They also have two grandchildren, Michael of Bastrop, Texas, and Lori Adams of Huntington. They have three step-grandchildren, Joshua and John of Texas and Tara of Utah. In addition, they have three great grandsons, Chianti, Amari and Austin as well as two step-granddaughters, Kaylee and Alexia. The couple resides in New Haven. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
