BY BETH SERGENT POMEROY — Meigs County once again has the dubious distinction of having the second highest unemployment rate in Ohio for the second month in a row while neighboring Mason County, W.Va. had the highest unemployment rate in the state, again Gallia County ranks near the middle of the pack. According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, for July, Meigs County had an unemployment rate of 14.4 percent, up slightly from June’s 14.2 percent. Meigs was doing slightly better than Pike County which had the highest unemployment numbers in the state at 15.6 percent.

REED MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council awarded a contract to Karr Construction, Pomeroy, to construct the new village hall there. Bids on the project were opened last week, and at Monday evening’s regular meeting, council accepted the Karr company’s low bid and awarded the firm a contract. The local firm bid the project at $688,000. Other bidders were:Banks Construction, Pomeroy, $897,760; Kinsale, Pomeroy, $723,798, Hoon, Athens, $744,783 and Davis Construction, Blanchester, $990,999. The original architect's estimate for the project was $750,000, so even considering increases in building costs since that time, the project will be completed below the anticipated cost. Village officials have maintained the new village hall, to also include a 12-bed jail, will not cost the village residents directly, because the jail is expected to generate outside revenue enough to retire the village’s debt. The village issued bonds for the construction, which were purchased by the Farmers Bank and Savings Co., Pomeroy. Village officials expect the new village hall to be completed and occupied by the end of the year. Council approved a resolution authorizing Mayor Michael Gerlach to apply through the Community Development Block Grant program for assistance in financing a waterline extension on Powell Street to the Hobson area. Council also passed a nondisplacement ordinance required to apply for those funds. Council also approved payment of bills in the amount of $7,587.43, and approved a 10-year contract with Suddenlink allowing the company to provide cable television service in the village.

Come on East Coast, we have those for breakfast out here!!!!” wrote Dennis Miller, 50, a lifelong California resident whose house in Pleasanton sits on an earthquake fault line. On Twitter and Facebook and over email, people circulated a photo of a table and four plastic lawn chairs in a serene garden setting. One of the chairs flipped on its back. The mock image carried the title “DC Earthquake Devastation.” All the more laughable for some were the images of people fleeing buildings — the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to do in a quake. “Hey East Coast, the entire West Coast is mocking you right now,” tweeted Todd Walker, an Anchorage TV anchorman. The tough earthquake talk comes from a coast that is apparently jaded by its own seismic activity — or perhaps not as experienced as it imagines itself to be. Tuesday’s quake was the East Coast’s largest since 1944. California alone has seen 35 quakes of that size since then, and since Japan’s massive 9.0 quake on March 11, that country has experi- aged greater Los Angeles. Joanne Razo, a legal assistant who lives in Washington, D.C., has lived through an earthquake in Los Angeles and said she knows that a 5.8quake is mild by West Coast standards. But for her, the scary part was not the ground shaking but that “this area is not equipped to handle anything like this.” Andrew Lakoff, a University of Southern California anthropology and sociology professor who studies cultural responses to disasters, said West Coasters seemed to be reacting to scenes of East Coasters losing their cool over the quake. In California, where there is firsthand knowledge of what large quakes look like, something magnitude-5.9 is a enced 93 aftershocks that registered more than magnitude-6.0. The flippancy partly disguises how serious the quakes are taken in California, Alaska and other earthquake-prone parts of the country. Many West Coast residents are trained to dive under desks and tables when the shaking starts and there is a recognition that temblors of similar size to the one that hit Virginia have caused deaths and millions of dollars of damage here. Despite the frequency of middling temblors, many people haven’t experienced a truly earthshaking quake. The last major metropolitan-scale disaster was all the way back in 1994, when the magnitude-6.7 Northridge quake rav- relatively minor threat. “A perverse consequence of living with the ongoing specter of catastrophe is this sense of pride,” he said. Marcus Beer, a video game critic who moved to Los Angeles in 2002 after growing up in the seismically stable British nation of Wales, said he didn’t unleash his own smartalecky tweet about the quake until he saw that it hadn’t caused any major damage or harm. He said he was amused by how much media attention was being seized by a quake of a size that — barring serious damage — would prompt little more than a few nervous chuckles on the West Coast. “For me, it was just ironic that the major news centers being based on the East Coast finally got hit by what we consider a temblor and it’s, ‘Oh my God!’” Beer said. “We get those all the time, and we’re so used to them.” Some East Coasters seemed to understand the eye-rolling from the West Coast. On Foursquare, a service that lets people tell others where they’ve been, users all over the East Coast checked in to made-up locations such a s “Earthquakepocalypse,” just as they checked in to “Snowpocalypse” during winter storms. Sarah Atkinson, a manager for a marketing firm in San Jose, was unimpressed by all the excitement. “5.9? That’s what us Californians use to stir our coffee with,” she tweeted. Ohio couple says US citizenship effort worth it HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — In a large courtroom in downtown Cincinnati, 70 people of three dozen nationalities became United States citizens this summer. For some there, being a U.S. citizen was an inheritance. For others, it was the culmination of years — decades, in some cases — of living, working and paying taxes in the United States while still being considered an alien. Daniela Ott, of Hamilton, arrived in the U.S. from Germany when she was 25 with her new husband, Kevin, 19 years ago. “You would go window shopping (in Germany), but you’d always look behind you,” she said. “But I did not leave Germany because I didn’t want to live there. I left Germany because I married Kevin and love him.” Although she had a green card, Mrs. Ott faced the same threat undocumented workers do: deportation. “When I saw ads targeting legal immigrants, it was like, ‘Wait a second,’ “ she said. “Then you realize they can revoke your green card at any time.” And so, after 19 years of living in the U.S., Ott and her husband began to piece together nearly two decades of records to prove they were married and lived together. In early May, they brought bags filled with documents and photos to the immigration offices and turned in their paperwork. The effort was necessary — it provided peace of mind. “I tell the people I work with, ‘The United States doesn’t deport citizens,’” Hamilton-based immigration lawyer Jorge Martinez said. “If you’re a legal permanent resident and find yourself at the wrong place at the wrong time — messing with drugs or something — you’re gone.” Martinez, himself a Colombian immigrant on a work visa, has been involved in more than 100 immigration cases since opening his practice Additionally, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services must perform various checks and processes — something that could take more than half a year. An applicant also must have experience in the U.S., which takes the form of having lived in the country for at least five years. Status technicalities — marriage and military service, for example — also exist, but all involve a form of contribution to the United States. All the prerequisites and fees on top of test anxiety and a pass-or-fail policy may discourage would-be citizens, Martinez said. Gathering documentation of an entire life in a foreign country proved to be frustrating for Salvation Army Maj. Wilder Garcia as well. A Guatemalan-born former entrepreneur, Garcia, 58, of Hamilton, has been in the United States for more than 20 years — most of them serving in the Salvation Army. He earned three in 2008. Despite figures showing immigrant productivity, fiery rhetoric has stigmatized them, Martinez said. “The depiction of the immigrant as a person who wants to take advantage of the system is the worst misconception of all,” he said. If anything, Ott said she was trying to keep the system from taking advantage of people like her: those looking to stay in the U.S. legally. She and Kevin have lived in the U.S. and obeyed the rules for nearly two decades. “I thought, ‘I’m working three jobs, I pay taxes and I’ve done everything by the book,’” Ott said. “I don’t see how they could have refused.” Naturalization can be a long process: Any applicant must be a legal permanent resident of the U.S. (a green card holder) and go through the steps of submitting an application; taking an English, history and American politics test; and finally going in for an interview. diplomas in Guatemala and currently runs the Hamilton chapter of the Salvation Army with his wife, Dora. Garcia got a green card at the urging of his mother-in-law. He sent in the papers and shortly thereafter received a call from the Guatemalan embassy: His family needed to be in the United States, so Garcia, then 35, brought his wife and four children to the U.S. on a trip that cost $12,000. The plan was to stay in the U.S., recoup the money and be back to Guatemala within five years. By his second year in the U.S., Garcia found the Salvation Army, something he said supports and augments his Christian evangelist upbringing. With a green card and a new calling, Garcia began training to be an officer. But, like Ott, Garcia found himself fearing deportation — legal resident or not. “The very first time I thought I should be a citizen was Sept. 11, 2001,” he said. “When we heard they might revoke the residencies, we thought it was time.” He had never seriously considered becoming a citizen before that — he had never run into any problems because of his status. But the worry persisted. In 2010, he began preparations to gain his citizenship. The Salvation Army and the community made donations to help cover the fees, which total more than $600. “The (Salvation Army) advisory board learned about it and, through the kindness of their heart, set up a fund,” Garcia said. Garcia earned his citizenship July 1. And although it took hundreds of dollars and months of collecting records, both Garcia and Ott said, in the end, for their own reasons, it was worth it. They’re both U.S. citizens. They did it, they said, the right way. County in Ohio boasts shortest covered bridge Plans under way for Annual Tribute to the River ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio county that’s home to the nation’s longest covered bridge now also has what’s considered to be the shortest one. An 18-foot span with a wooden roof opened this week in Ashtabula County, in the state’s far northeast corner. It replaces a deteriorating bridge in Geneva, about 45 miles northeast of Cleveland. The new bridge will have its formal dedication in October during the annual Covered Bridge Festival in the county, which now has 18 of them. Festival spokeswoman Betty Morrison tells The Star-Beacon newspaper the new bridge is so short that tour buses passing through it will look like hot dogs in a bun. The longest U.S. covered bridge — 613 feet long — was dedicated in Ashtabula County three years ago. POINT PLEASANT — It is once again almost time for the Tribute to the River Celebration.

Ohio town frets its huge, old flagpole is a hazard Hart family has reunion RAVENNA, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio community wants to wash its hands of a towering flagpole well over 100 years old that officials fear is a tempting hazard. Within the last year, two people thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs climbed up the 150foot flagpole in front of the Portage County Courthouse in Ravenna. Ravenna Township Trustee Patsy Artz says both were lucky to survive and calls the flagpole “an accident waiting to happen.” The Record-Courier newspaper reports the township is asking that either the city of Ravenna or the county take responsibility for the steel flagpole, which resembles a broadcast antenna. Artz said Tuesday the township should tear it down if no one else wants the responsibility. So far, city officials say they’re not interested. Ohio briefing local officials on gas well boom COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State officials are visiting eastern Ohio this month and next to brief local government officials about the expected boom in natural gas drilling. Energy companies have been exploring two shale formations that contained trapped supplies of natural gas extracted by blasting chemical-laced water into the shale. Thousands of wells in the Marcellus Shale formation have been drilled in Pennsylvania, while the Utica Shale deposit is expected to be more promising in Ohio. Officials from state departments including natural resources, environment, health and taxation are meeting with county commissioners, state lawmakers and others to answer questions about drilling and its economic impact. The state planned to meet Wednesday in New Philadelphia with Portage, Stark and Tuscarawas officials.

Neither is any meaningful improvement in the economy. That’s the picture that emerges from an Associated Press survey of leading economists who have grown more pessimistic in recent weeks. They say high unemployment and weak consumer spending will hold back the U.S. economy into 2012. Their gloominess comes at a time when Europe’s debt crisis threatens to infect the global financial system. It also coincides with an annual economic conference late this week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and speculation about whether Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will unveil any new steps there to help the economy. Worries that another recession is nearing and that the European crisis will spread have led to a roughly 15 percent drop in U.S. stock prices in the past month. Economists say the Great Recession ended in June 2009. What makes a solution so difficult is that the fear gripping investors isn’t just a symptom of economic distress; it’s also a cause of it. Sinking stock prices frighten consumers and businesses. They then spend and invest less. Investors respond to lower corporate sales by selling stocks, worsening the market declines. Each day that the stock market sinks “puts another nail in the coffin of the recovery,” says Beth Ann Bovino, senior economist at Standard & Poor’s. “I had been saying it was a half-speed recovery; now, it’s a quarterspeed recovery,” Bovino says. She is among 43 private, corporate and academic economists surveyed this month by the AP. As a group, they are more downbeat than when surveyed eight weeks ago. Among their conclusions: • The likelihood of a recession within the next 12 months is 26 percent. In June, the economists had put the likelihood at 15 percent. • The economy will inch ahead at an annual rate of 2 percent in the July-September quarter and 2.2 percent from October through December. Though stronger than the growth for the first half of 2011, that isn’t enough to lower the unemployment rate much, if at all. And next year will barely be stronger. • Weak consumer spending poses a “major” risk to the economy. In June, Americans cut their spending for the first time in nearly two years. And consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of the economy. • The unemployment rate will end this year at 9 percent and 2012 at 8.5 percent. Those rates are slightly less than July’s 9.1 percent. But they’re more consistent with a recession than a recovery. — The Fed’s efforts to keep interest rates at record lows may not succeed in promoting growth or easing unemployment. But its low-rate policies will likely boost stock prices. The economists do foresee economic growth, job creation, consumer spending and home prices all rising over the next year. But the gains they expect are so slight that many Americans won’t notice. For months, the Fed and private economists had clung to hopes that a slowdown in spring and early summer would prove temporary. They initially blamed temporary factors — especially higher oil prices and an earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan that disrupted factory production. But the economy has kept worsening. U.S. home prices remain depressed. Job growth is weak. Workers’ pay is barely rising. The economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent in the first half of 2011 — much The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The benefits of the government’s $862 billion stimulus are fading. No more stimulus is likely. And in June, the Fed ended a $600 billion Treasury bond-buying program that was designed to help keep rates low to spur spending and increase stock prices. Then Europe’s intensifying debt crisis and Congress’ standoff over raising the debt ceiling undermined consumer confidence and spooked the markets. Consumers and investors foresee more gridlock ahead as a congressional committee seeks ways to cut at least $1.2 trillion in debt. That means government spending, which normally helps economies climb back from recessions, will likely instead restrain growth. A committee from the National Bureau of Economic Research decides when recessions begin and end. They define recession as “a significant decline in economic activity (that) spreads across the economy” and lasts for a “few months to more than a year.” Earlier this month, the Fed pledged to keep short-term rates near zero until mid-2013 if necessary to combat economic weakness. The Fed also seemed to suggest it might be open to another round of bond purchases. Many are waiting with anticipation for Bernanke’s speech Friday in Jackson Hole at a conference held by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. At last year’s conference, Bernanke set the stage for the Fed’s $600 billion Treasury-buying program. But the economists in the AP survey are skeptical of the Fed’s ability to improve economic conditions substantially. “The Fed can’t do anything at this stage that’s going to be meaningful,” says Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc. BY AMY GOODMAN The White House was rocked Tuesday, not only by the 5.9 Richter-scale earthquake, but by the protests mounting outside its gates. More than 2,100 people say they’ll risk arrest there during the next two weeks. They oppose the Keystone XL pipeline project, designed to carry heavy crude oil from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. A “keystone” in architecture is the stone at the top of an arch that holds the arch together; without it, the structure collapses. By putting their bodies on the line -- as more than 200 have already at the time of this writing -these practitioners of the proud tradition of civil disobedience hope to collapse not only the pipeline, but the fossilfuel dependence that is accelerating disruptive global climate change. Bill McKibben was among those already arrested. He is an environmentalist and author who founded the group 350.org, named after the estimated safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of 350 ppm (parts per million -- the planet is currently at 390 ppm). In a call to action to join the protest, McKibben, along with others including journalist Naomi Klein, actor Danny Glover, and NASA scientist James Hansen, wrote the Keystone pipeline is “a fifteen hundred mile fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the continent, a way to make it easier and faster to trigger the final overheating of our planet.” The movement to oppose Keystone XL ranges from activists and scientists to indigenous peoples of the threatened Canadian plains and boreal forests, where the tar sands are located, to rural farmers and ranchers in the ecologically fragile Sand Hills region of Nebraska, to students and physicians. Asked why the White 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Amy Goodman House protests are taking place while President Barack Obama is away on a family vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, McKibben replied: “We’ll be here when he gets back, too. We’re staying for two weeks, every day. This is the first real civil disobedience of this scale in the environmental movement in ages.” Just miles to the east of Martha’s Vineyard, and almost exactly 170 years earlier, on Nantucket, Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave, abolitionist, journalist and publisher, gave one of his first major addresses before the Massachusetts AntiSlavery Society. Douglass is famous for stating one of grass-roots organizing’s central truths: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Demanding change is one thing, while getting change in Washington, D.C., is another, especially with the Republicancontrolled House of Representatives’ hostility to any climate-change legislation. That is why the protests against Keystone XL are happening in front of the White House. President Obama has the power to stop the pipeline. The Canadian corporation behind the project, TransCanada, has applied for a permit from the U.S. State Department to build the pipeline. If the State Department denies the permit, Keystone XL would be dead. The enormous environmental devastation caused by extracting petroleum from the tar sands might still move forward, but without easy access to the refineries and the U.S. market, it would certainly be slowed. TransCanada executives are confident that the U.S. will grant the permit by the end of the year. Republican politicians and the petroleum industry tout the creation of well-paying construction jobs that would come from the project, and even enjoy some union support. In response, two major unions, the Amalgamated Transit Union and the Transport Workers Union, representing more than 300,000 workers, called on the State Department to deny the permit. In a joint press release, they said: “We need jobs, but not ones based on increasing our reliance on Tar Sands oil. ... Many jobs could also be created in energy conservation, upgrading the grid, maintaining and expanding public transportation -jobs that can help us reduce air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and improve energy efficiency.” Two Canadian women, indigenous actress Tantoo Cardinal, who starred in “Dances With Wolves,” and Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in “Superman,” were arrested with about 50 others just before the earthquake hit Tuesday. Bill McKibben summed up: “It takes more than earthquakes and hurricanes to worry us -- we’ll be out here through Sept. 3. Our hope is to send a Richter 8 tremor through the political system on the day Barack Obama says no to Big Oil and reminds us all why we were so happy when he got elected. The tar sands pipeline is his test.” Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

Change ordered for funeral home in cremation error COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio regulators have ordered the new owner to change the name on a funeral home that cremated the wrong child’s body and had its license suspended. The Columbus Dispatch reports the state Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors approved a new license Tuesday for what had been the Marlan J. Gary Funeral Home in Columbus. But the panel said new owner Thor Triplett should use his own name and gave him two weeks to revise the home’s signs and website. Under its former owner, the home mistakenly cremated a 14-month-old boy against his parents’ beliefs. A judge last week stopped the funeral board from blocking the home’s takeover over the name issue. An attorney says Triplett still wants to keep the Gary name and may go back to court.

Reach out for knowledge, different opinions and new ways of looking at issues. Many of you will travel; others will meet people who, by their very lifestyle, present a different perspective. Some of you will decide to sign up for a workshop or a class. You will gain through groups and friends. If you are single, a friendship could become more. If you are attached, the two of you will socialize more, drawing you closer together. CANCER is loyal and nurturing. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) +++ Pressure builds, perhaps more because of your perspective than anything else. Your energy is so high, others might feel left behind. Express your caring in a way that counts with a boss. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Hang close to home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++++ Express the bottom line. Don’t settle for what doesn’t feel right. Detach and empathize, but don’t toss yourself into another person’s problem. You push hard to achieve certain results. Don’t be intimidated. Tonight: Hang out. Plan your weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) +++ Indulge, but with wisdom. You easily could go overboard. Knowing when to call a halt to a situation could be instrumental. Attempt not to spend as much right now, as you could be suppressing some upset that way. Tonight: Treat a friend to some munchies. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might want to do something very different from in the past. Your anger might mount and cause a problem where you least expect it. A domestic matter could be weighing you down. Don’t challenge someone. In the long run, it will be a bad decision. Tonight: Go for what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ The best action you can make is to pull back and take a muchneeded timeout. Sometimes you gain a lot more insight by not being in your normal environment. Be willing to update your perspective, even if you are vested in the matter. Tonight: A HOROSCOPE much-needed timeout. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ A meeting or group of friends could be more instrumental than you think. A strong male figure might push you very hard. Handle this person’s energy with the knowledge that he cares. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Pressure builds, and you react by being on the move. Is there a way of delegating or prioritizing? You might feel a lack of confidence from someone in your immediate circle. Use care with your attitude toward someone you have to answer to. Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ Be willing to take a risk, even if you might feel a bit negative. Work first on your mental perspective. Your attitude could put you in a makeor-break situation. Others will pick up the difference and respond accordingly — if not immediately, then soon. Tonight: Be imaginative. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Knowing when to cut your losses could be very important. After a meeting, what you have been trying to avoid smacks you in the face. Though you might not want to act, you see the need. An earthy, day-today pal has some ideas. Tonight: Go along with another person’s suggestion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ An associate might not stop harping on a situation until you acknowledge what is happening. Ask yourself if it would be easier to drop the game. Walk away from a combative person right now. Don’t let anyone ruin the moment. Tonight: Just not alone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Listen well. Make a point of taking extra time with key people in your daily routine. Sometimes we don’t realize the importance of these connections. Express your gratitude and appreciation. Tonight: Don’t push.

The NCAA may have other ideas. Jim Tressel was forced to resign as the Buckeyes’ coach on May 30 after admitting he learned in April 2010 that some of his players might have accepted cash and free tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. He knew about the potential violations for more than nine months but said nothing until he was confronted by investigators in January 2011. “I sense that (he will coach again),” Dick Tressel said after Tuesday’s practice at Ohio Stadium. “That’s just because that’s who he is, that’s what he does. There’s no reason to not think that, I guess.” Dick Tressel, brought to Ohio State in 2001 by his little brother after 23 years as the coach at Hamline University, remains on the Buckeyes coaching staff. Instead of answering to his sibling, he now serves as running backs and special teams assistant under interim coach Luke Fickell. There remain lingering questions that Jim Tressel knew of potential violations for months but would not have discussed them with his big brother/assistant coach. “I guess I can’t speak too much more to that issue,” Dick Tressel said when asked about whether he had any knowledge about the violations. “Everybody has their own opinion, so you guys are all with it. I’m here to talk about placekickers and snappers and all those type of things.” Ohio State’s program has been in the national spotlight since the U.S. Attorney’s office first brought the matter of signed memorabilia to Ohio State’s attention last December. There has been a steady drip, drip, drip of rumors, innuendo and allegations ever since. Tressel was forced out by Ohio State officials for knowingly playing ineligible players throughout the 2010 season. As a result, Ohio State has offered to vacate its 12-1 record last season, including its victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. On top of that, Ohio State also has proposed a two-year NCAA probation, several player suspensions and would give up $338,811 — its Big Ten share of bowl money. The university went before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12 and is expecting to hear what its final sanctions will be sometime between late September and mid-November. As part of its sanctions against Ohio State and Jim Tressel, the NCAA could levy a “show cause” penalty against the 10-year coach of the Buckeyes. That would mean that any college which wanted to hire him would have to in essence prove to the NCAA why he would be a worthwhile candidate and might not break rules again. No coach has ever been hired who was still under an NCAA showcause sanction. Dick Tressel was asked how difficult the ordeal has been on him. “Oh, not as hard as it’s been on Jim Tressel and a bunch of other people. I think that it’s been hard on everybody,” he said. “I don’t think that I should be singled out as it being harder on me. Because I maybe more than anybody else know that Jim Tressel is a special person and will want the Buckeyes to move forward.” When investigators first started looking into the allegations of improper benefits, loaner cars, cash for memorabilia and other NCAA violations, Dick Tressel said he never considered leaving. “I’m here, ready to go. The process was to help kids play, help kids become the best that they can be,” he said. “That’s how the program was last January and that’s how it is now. I’m just doing what I can do.” Officials at Ohio’s high school coaches association have suggested that all coaches in the state wear a white shirt and tie to the season-opening games this weekend in honor of Jim Tressel, known for wearing a sweater vest over a white shirt and a tie. Dick Tressel said he thought his brother would be touched by the gesture. “Certainly, Jim Tressel would have to feel honored in that regard. He’d be humbled by that,” he said. “Whether they do that or not, Jim Tressel understands how they feel about him.” Bengals get S Taylor Mays from 49ers CINCINNATI (AP) — Safety Taylor Mays is getting a chance to start over with a team that’s been interested in him since his college days. The Cincinnati Bengals acquired the second-year player from the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday in a trade for an undisclosed draft pick. Mays spent the morning trying to learn the playbook, then practiced with the team in the afternoon. The pass defense has been a problem in preseason drubbings against the Lions and the Jets. The Bengals tried to upgrade the safety position through free agency, but Donte Whitner signed with the 49ers instead. Mays was San Francisco’s secondround pick last year out of Southern California. He started six games early in the season, but played less as it went along. He played sparingly in the preseason, and the 49ers made it known they were interested in trading him. “It’s good not just for us, but for Taylor,” San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said. “I think it was a positive thing for Taylor. We’ve got a lot of respect for Taylor. I’ve been around him for three or four weeks now and I understand he’s a good football player. I respect him as a person. He’s a hardworking guy. I think it’s a better fit for him in Cincinnati, and I think he feels the same thing.” Mays knew the 49ers wanted to get rid of him. “It was tough at first,” Mays said. “It didn’t affect my confidence. I like to say I feel confident in the potential I had. That’s the mentality I had every day, and it didn’t change. I have that mindset and figure everything would work out, and I’m just fortunate that it did at this point.” The Bengals were interested in Mays coming out of college, meeting with him before the draft. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with Taylor,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He’s somebody that coming out of college, we did extensive work on and really felt like he was a good prospect. It gives us a younger player.” Safety Chris Crocker wasn’t sure what to make of the move and how it would affect the rest of the safeties. “I don’t know yet,” Crocker said. “He’s a new guy. He has a lot of catching up to do. It’s going to be a new playbook. He’ll have to establish his role. Who knows what that’s going to be.” Toledo, N. Illinois among MAC favorites DETROIT (AP) — The Toledo Rockets hope to make an earlier visit to Ford Field than they did last year. A better ending would be nice, too. Toledo finished second in the Mid-American Conference’s West Division in 2010, missing out on a trip to Detroit for the league’s championship game. The Rockets did end up in the Motor City in late December, however, after they were invited to play Florida Inter-national in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. That game featured one of the most exciting endings of the postseason when FIU converted a desperate hook-and-ladder on fourth-and-17 and later kicked a last-second field goal to stun the Rockets 34-32. It was a disappointing finish for Toledo, which was playing its first bowl since 2005, but the Rockets enter this season with high hopes. Toledo edged out Northern Illinois as the favorite in the West in the MAC’s preseason media poll. “They understand the expectations from the coaching staff,” Toledo coach Tim Beckman said. “They know what to expect, they know how we’re going to practice, they know how to act, they’re going to sprint on and off the field after every play. That was all new to them when we got here two and a half years ago.” Miami of Ohio was picked as the favorite in the East by just one point over Ohio. Northern Illinois won the West last year with an 8-0 conference mark and was ranked 24th in the country when it lost 26-21 to Miami of Ohio in the MAC title game.

Maybe it was a case of opening-day jitters, but the Ohio Valley Christian soccer team was lucky to get away from St. Cloud Commons Tuesday night with a 2-2 season-opening draw against host Grace Christian. The visiting Defenders (0-0-1) never led in the contest and trailed 2-0 just 15 minutes into the first half before rallying back over the final 65 minutes just to earn a tie, literally. With the host Soldiers (0-0-1) clinging to their 21 intermission advantage, OVCS caught the break it was looking for when T.G. Miller came up with the game-tying goal with less than 30 seconds left in regulation. Miller took a pass from Chance Burleson and netted it in the waning moments, allowing the Defenders to earn their first tie score of the entire evening. Burleson earned an assist on the all-important goal. Ethan Perry started the scoring in the fifth minute after netting a pass from Brandon McClay, which gave the hosts an early 1-0 advantage. Ten minutes later, Grace grabbed a 2-0 lead after Aaron Weber took advantage of a bad breakdown in the OVCS defense. The Defenders, however, responded in the 20th minute after Richard Bowman headed in a crossing pass from Paul Miller — making it a 2-1 contest headed into the half. Ohio Valley Christian outshot the Soldiers by a slim 15-14 margin. Peter Carman made 12 saves in net for the Defenders. OVCS also had a 6-3 edge in corner kicks. Ohio Valley Christian will open its 2011 home season Thursday when it hosts St. Mary’s at 5:30 p.m. Blue Devils go ʻover the hillʼ at Cliffside BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Turning the big four-zero never felt so good. The Gallia Academy golf team improved its season record to a perfect 400 Tuesday with a 25-stroke victory over Logan in a dual match at Cliffside Golf Club in the Old French City. The Blue Devils — making only their second home appearance this fall — were practically untouchable in their ninth match of the season, firing four sub-40 rounds en route to an even par team score of 148 over nine holes. GAHS also had five of the top seven individual efforts in the triumph, including the four best scores. The Chieftains finished the day with a team score of 173 and did not have a single golfer shoot a sub-40 round. The nine-hole dual was not an ordinary day on the course, as both teams played holes 1-6 before finishing on 16, 17 and 18 due to wet conditions on the front-9 greens. The makeshift round made par 37 for the afternoon. Gallia Academy notched its eighth medalist honor in nine attempts this year, as junior Rob Canady shot a blistering 3-under par round of 34 to post the low score of the day. Canady went without a bogey on the day, recording three birdies and six pars. Nick Saunders and Boeing Smith added matching par rounds of 37, while Corey Arthur closed out the winning tally with a 39. Derrick Gilmore and Daniel Rees added respective efforts of 42 and 47 for the hosts. Jordan Fizer — playing as the team’s No. 6 golfer — provided a spark for the Chieftains after leading the Purple and White with a 41. Kris Cummings was next with a 42, followed by Jacob Berry and Caleb Cummings with matching efforts of 45 to close out the team tally. Tristan Meyers and Logan Holbrook also had identical rounds of 46 for LHS. Gallia Academy fired its second sub-150 team score in its last three outings. Logan lost to the Blue Devils last Tuesday at Brass Ring Country Club by 17 shots. Tennesseeʼs Summitt has early onset dementia BY DOUG FEINBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS Pat Summitt made it clear. She won’t accept a “pity party.” The winningest coach in women’s basketball just wants to focus on getting Tennessee back on top. Summitt surprised the sports world with her announcement Tuesday that she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia — the Alzheimer’s type. The Hall of Fame coach appeared stoic during a minute-long video posted on the school’s website. “I plan to continue to be your coach,” the 59year-old said in the video. “Obviously, I realize I may have some limitations with this condition since there will be some good days and some bad days.” There is no cure for the disease and even Summitt’s icy glare that has struck fear in many an opponent, official or Lady Vols player, won’t be able to stop its advances. Still she said she won’t have her time at Tennessee turn into a “pity party.” Summitt isn’t sure how much longer she will coach only saying that she would do it “as long as the good Lord is willing”. Before Tuesday’s news, Summitt was trying to figure out a way to end a three-year drought of missing the Final Four — one of the longest in her 37-year tenure at the school. She does have one of the top recruiting classes coming in this year as freshmen. She met with her team Tuesday to discuss her diagnosis. Junior guard Taber Spani said the meeting was businesslike, with Summitt telling the Lady Vols nothing would get in the way for their quest of a ninth national title this season. “It’s shocking, just because you don’t expect that to happen to someone you look up to,” Spani said. “I admire her, and just seeing her just gave me more confidence in her as a coach. We’re going to rally.” Summitt will rely more on her assistants — Holly Warlick, Dean Lockwood and Mickie DeMoss — but they aren’t sure exactly how things may change. “We’re here to help Pat as far as coaching and will help this program continue its tradition. And I’m here for Pat as a friend,” Warlick said. “I know she’s going to be here coaching, but she is quick to say this is Tennessee basketball. We’re going to carry on the tradition no matter what.” Warlick said Summitt also wanted to crush any speculation about her health after the announcement. “We got on the phone immediately and called kids and commitments and had nothing but a huge amount of support,” Warlick said. “I think it’s one thing to see it on the (TV news) ticker. It’s another thing to hear from Pat Summitt that we’re here, we’re going to be here and nothing is going to change about Tennessee basketball.” Summitt’s family and closest confidants have known about her condition since she first learned of it, but the Hall of Fame coach first revealed the news publicly to the Washington Post and Knoxville News Sentinel. She also told her former players early Tuesday morning. “As a player, we know coach is the type who’s not going to give up. She’s going to fight, she’s going to do everything she can,” said Michelle Snow, who played for Tennessee from 19982002. “She’s probably going to be the best patient they ever had. She’s a fighter and she’s been through a lot. She knows how to fight and she’s going to continue to do that.” As the stunning news swept across the women’s basketball world Tuesday, the reaction was simple: she’ll meet the disease head on. Indiana Fever coach Lin Dunn first met Summitt 40 years ago at Tennessee-Martin. The two used to play softball in the summer together and were sorority sisters. She was floored this morning when she got the phone call with the news. “My first reaction was tremendous respect, how she was publicly acknowledging this disease. I know how tough minded she is, tremendous perseverance,” Dunn said by phone. “She will bring national attention to this disease and she can spearhead a move to try and fight it.” That sentiment was echoed by former Lady Vols star Candace Parker. “I don’t think she is going to let it affect her,” the Los Angeles Sparks star said. “I think she is going to continue on coaching as long as she can. She came out with (the news) and now we’re going to move forward.” Summitt’s biggest rival, Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma was shocked and saddened by the news. “You don’t necessarily associate dementia with people our age, so this announcement really put things in perspective,” he said. Summitt has won eight national titles at Tennessee and is 29 victories short of 1,100 — that would give her 200 more than former Texas coach Jody Conradt, who is No. 2 on the list. “It always seemed she had no vulnerability,” Conradt said. “She’s the solid rock everyone looked up to. ... I’m very happy she’s not going to walk off the court at this point. When you have made it your life, there needs to be transition.” Summitt has been bothered for a while by rheumatoid arthritis. Tennessee athletics director Joan Cronan said that the coach initially chalked up her memory problems to side effects from medicine she was taking to treat it. The coach first consulted local doctors, who recommended she undergo a more extensive evaluation. In May, she traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where doctors performed a spinal tap and other tests that eventually produced the diagnosis. Summitt’s first reaction was anger, but that soon gave way to determination. “She’s ready to fight this and move on,” Cronan said. “She had to come to grips with how she wanted to face it.” Talking about it was a big step and her son Tyler was instrumental in making that happen. “Tyler has been so courageous in this,” Summitt’s longtime associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “He encouraged her to come forward.” Tyler has been supporting his mother throughout this process; he went to the Mayo Clinic with her in May. And though he has been a great sounding board, the 20year-old said his mom’s revelation is a life lesson for everyone. “It seems like she teaches me something new everyday, and she is currently giving me one of the best life lessons of all: to have the courage to be open, honest, and face the truth,” he said. “This will be a new chapter for my mom and I, and we will continue to work as a team like we always have done.” Reds rally past Marlins 8-6 behind Alonso MIAMI (AP) — There’s no place like home. Reds manager Dusty Baker is a firm believer in that. Making his first start at first base for Cincinnait this season, Yonder Alonso took full advantage of the opportunity to play in front of more than 200 friends and family members Tuesday night. It was his first trip as a big leaguer back to his hometown, where he also played college ball at the University of Miami. Alonso homered and drove in four runs, including a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning that sent the Reds to an 8-6 victory over the fading Florida Marlins. “That’s why he was out there,” Baker said. “I told him he was going to play in front of his family. Usually guys play well in front of their families.” Alonso hit a solo homer, his second, in the second inning and had an RBI single in the third. He finished with three hits. “It’s funny because I went to dinner with my parents (Monday) and my mom told me that, ‘I have a feeling that you’re going to have such a good game’ and she’s right about a lot of things,” Alonso said. “She doesn’t say that too often so when she does say it I guess she blessed me.” Dave Sappelt tied the game at 6 with a two-run double and the Reds scored four times in the ninth off closer Leo Nunez (1-4), who blew his sixth save in 39 chances. They were the first career RBIs for Sappelt, who had three hits. “When they’re beating me with breaking balls, now you’re in a titanic struggle. But since they were just beating me with fastballs it was just one of them things where I’d eventually come out of it,” Sappelt said. Jay Bruce hit his 27th home run for the Reds. Emilio Bonifacio homered and drove in three for the Marlins, who have lost six in a row. They are 2-16 in their last 18 games. “We had a meeting (before the game) and the guys played extremely well,” Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. “I thought they were alive, there was some energy on the bench, guys were really pulling to pull this off. It looked like we had it, and then it went away.” With the Reds trailing 6-4 going into the ninth, Joey Votto walked and Brandon Phillips singled. Sappelt then laced a double to left field, scoring both runners. Three batters later, Alonso lined a two-run double to center.

It’s definitely very satisfying for us to do that.” Aroldis Chapman (3-1) picked up the win, striking out the only batter he faced. Francisco Cordero pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 27th save in 32 chances. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco struck out eight to move past Dontrelle Willis, now pitching for the Reds, to become the club’s career strikeout leader with 765. “It won’t sink in now,” Nolasco said. “Everybody’s frustrated. Personal goals aren’t going to mean anything right now when the team is scuffling like this.” Nolasco allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. “Overall, he did a On Your Side® 113 West 2nd.

Reds starter Johnny Cueto yielded three runs in five innings and issued a season-high six walks. “He never really settled in,” Baker said. “He was in trouble all of the time. That’s not like Johnny to walk people. He struggled, but he kept us close enough for us to come back and win the game.” NOTES: Nolasco has 127 strikeouts this season. ... Bonifacio’s only other multi-RBI game came against the Reds on May 1 when he also drove in three. Cordero recorded his 200th save in the National League. After the game, the Marlins recalled OF Logan Morrison from Triple-A New Orleans and designated OF Dewayne Wise for assignment. Willis, who played five seasons with the Marlins (2003-07), received a gen- erous ovation from the crowd when he was chosen to change the Sun Life Stadium game countdown after the fifth inning. The Marlins have 14 games remaining at Sun Life before moving to the new Marlins Ballpark next season. The teams will play a doubleheader on Wed-nesday in attempt to avoid potential inclement weather due to Hurricane Irene. Homer Bailey and Bronson Arroyo will pitch for the Reds and the Marlins will counter with Javier Vazquez and Chris Volstad. Bailey is 4-1 in his last five decisions and Arroyo will be looking for his first career win against the Marlins. He’s 0-3 in 10 games, seven starts.

Teams from Eastern, Southern and Meigs will play two games each. The event will start at 4 p.m. with the 7th grade teams from Southern and Eastern. Thursday, August 25, 2011 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM The 2011 gridiron season officially begins for seven of the nine football teams in the Ohio Valley Publishing coverage area this Friday night, including a full slate of six contests on the northern side of the Ohio River. Meigs and South Gallia will be the lone teams playing on the road this weekend, while Gallia Academy, River Valley, Eastern and Southern will all host opponents in their Ohio openers. Hannan, the lone Mason County school playing this weekend, will be making its West Virginia opener at home. Both Point Pleasant and Wahama start the 2011 Mountaineer campaign with an open date. Here is a small breakdown of this Friday’s season-opening contests. All games will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ATHENS at GALLIA ACADEMY Friday will be the fourth consecutive season in which the Blue Devils and Bulldogs have met in Week 1, which has resulted in a 2-1 head-to-head record for GAHS over that span. The Blue Devils (7-3 in 2010) have won 7-of-8 decisions in the recent series — including a 3621 decision last fall — and own an alltime mark of 43-36-3 against the Bulldogs. Athens (5-5), however, spoiled the home-opener for then first-year coach Mike Eddy with a 21-0 decision in 2009. Athens returns both the offensive (Devon Sharp) and defensive (Mitch Rider) players of the year in the TVC Ohio last fall, as well as numerous regulars from a season ago. The Blue Devils have 26 players returning to a 38-man roster, which includes 15 seniors and 15 juniors. The experienced Blue and White also enter this campaign coming off their first winning season since 2006. ALEXANDER at EASTERN Friday will be the sixth consecutive season in which the Eagles and Spartans have met in Week 1, which has resulted in five straight wins for AHS. Alexander — since 2006 — has posted wins of 29-21, 17-13, 48-14 and 35-21 in this series, as well as last year’s 31-6 decision. The Spartans — who finished 8-3 last year — made the playoffs for a second straight postseason in 2010. Eastern — which finished 7-3 overall — has posted two straight winning seasons under Dick Tipton, who is now the defensive coordinator at Alexander. The Eagles are now under first-year mentor David Tennant. Graduation was particularly hard to both programs. Alexander lost running back Cody Lawson — the program’s all-time leading rusher, while Eastern graduate a majority of its skilled players on the offensive side of the ball. The Eagles haven’t won a season opener since 2004, which was a 41-6 victory over South Gallia. FEDERAL HOCKING at RIVER VALLEY Friday will be the second consecutive meeting between these two programs, as the Lancers and Raiders square off at Raider Field in a pivotal Week 1 matchup. Fed Hock — which finished 2010 with a 1-9 mark — has not won a season opener since the 2003 campaign, an 8-0 overtime victory over Fort Frye. RVHS also went 1-9 last season, with that lone win coming against FHHS in Week 1 by a 276 margin. The Raiders have won seven of their last nine season openers as they open the year under new coach Jerrod Sparling. Both teams return numerous letterwinners and are also looking to improve on last fall’s record. Federal Hocking has never played at Raider Field. The Raiders won by forfeit (1-0) over Minford two years ago at home, but haven’t actually won a season-opener at home since defeating Southeastern 30-20 in 2005. SYMMES VALLEY at SOUTHERN Friday will be the sixth consecutive season in which the Tornadoes and Vikings have met in Week 1, with Symmes Valley holding a 4-edge in this series. SVHS (9-2 in 2010) has won the last four contests in this matchup, with Southern’s lone season-opening win coming in 2006 by a 14-7 margin in Willow Wood. The Tornadoes (2-8) haven’t won a season opener at home since the turn of the millennium. It will be an emotional night at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field, as it will be the first game for Southern since the tragic passing J.J. Gray — a junior on the varsity squad. Symmes Valley has made the playoffs the last two falls and a total of six times under Rusty Webb, who enters his 11th season with a 66-41 career mark with the Vikings. Kyle Wickline — in his second season with the Tornadoes — will be making his home debut in a season opener. VALLEY FAYETTE at HANNAN Following a second consecutive 0-10 campaign, second-year Hannan football coach Keith Taylor will be looking for the Wildcats to end a 22-game regular season losing streak against the Greyhounds on Friday night. The Wildcats will have 24 players on their varsity roster, which will include 12 varsity letterwinners from last season. Taylor — who was the coach of Hannan in both 2007 and 2008, which includes the program’s last victory in 2008 — will be aiming for the ’Cats to fare better than a year ago against VFHS. COAL GROVE at MEIGS Friday will be the fourth consecutive season in which the Hornets and Marauders have met in Week 1, which has resulted in a 2-1 Coal Grove advantage over that span. Ironically, the winner of this contest has gone on to qualify for the playoffs in each of the last three years — so it is an important game early in the season. The Marauders — who finished 3-7 a season ago — lost the 2009 decision at CGHS by a narrow 4442 decision, then dropped last year’s outcome by a 53-13 margin at Bob Roberts Field. Coal Grove (8-3) went on to its second straight playoff appearance, where it lost to Oak Hill. Meigs — which won the 2008 game at Bob Roberts Field by an 18-7 margin — enters its 19th season under head foot- SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POMEROY, Ohio — So close.The Meigs Ma-rauders golf team fell just short on Tuesday afternoon against Nelsonville-York at Kountry Hills Golf Course in Meigs County, Ohio.

MHS has also won three of its last five season openers and enters 2011 with a 5-game losing skid. Coal Grove, which lost its last two games in 2010, will once again be led by head coach Dave Lucas — who has amassed a 203-92-1 record at CGHS over 28 seasons. SOUTH GALLIA at SCIOTOVILLE EAST Two programs with a pair of second-year coaches square off in Scioto County on Friday when the Rebels and Tartans meet in a Week 1 non-conference matchup. South Gallia (4-6) returns 15 seniors and an abundance of experience to the 2011 gridiron for head coach Jason Peck, while Todd Gilliland returns to the East sidelines following a 3-7 campaign. East enters Friday with a three-game winning streak in this series, including last year’s 25-8 victory at Rebel Field. South Gallia last defeated Sciotoville East in 2006 by a 16-12 margin, the last time the Rebels made the playoffs. SGHS hasn’t won a season opener since defeating Hannan by a 40-6 margin in 2007. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
