REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A Syracuse man has filed suit against the Syracuse police chief and two sheriff’s deputies, alleging he was injured when the men struck him with tasers. Tasers are considered electroshock weapons that use electrical current to temporarily subdue perpetrators by interrupting muscle control. The lawsuit, filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, alleges physical injury and other damages as a result of police misconduct. Paul D. Clay filed the suit through his attorney, Charles Knight. Chief Gary Freed, and deputies William Gilkey and Andy Myers, the Village of Syracuse and Meigs County are named as codefendants in the case. According to the complaint, Freed, Gilkey and Myers entered Clay’s property to place him under arrest, and all three officers fired tasers at Freed, causing “extreme pain, agony and suffering.” Clay was then removed from his property and confined to jail, “although suffering injuries clearly visible to the defendants.” Knight, in his complaint filed on Clay’s behalf, alleges the officers used excessive force and had no probable Bobbi Holzer honored at 90th birthday celebration GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Local Schools board of education meeting has been changed from Aug. 22 to Aug. 29, 7 p.m., Administrative Office, 230 Shawnee Lane, Gallipolis.

However, when statewide and national economic storms persist, as they have since 2008, these lifelines are too often the first to lose the funding they require to adequately help their communities. That is why the Gallia County United Way — and the United Way on a national level — is now more important to the organizations and communities they support than ever before.

The squash bug is being seen in both commercial fields and homeowner gardens feeding on the forming fruit. If the infestation is great enough fruit scarring may be quite evident. On a small garden scale you can place wooden boards near the pumpkin/squash patch. Lift up the boards in the morning to discov- er a multitude of the bugs hiding underneath. Use the soles of your shoes to stomp on the bugs before they scurry off. Chemically spray your plants with a permethrin, pyrethrin, bufenthrin esfenvalerate or endosulfan chemical for some control and protection. Remember to follow label instructions, especially the pre-harvest interval (PHI). ••• Do you have problems with the tomato hornworm munching your tomato plant leaves. Take just a few minutes each evening and morning to monitor your plants. The hornworm is easily found by following the eaten leaflets and the resulting trail of frass (manure). Grab the hornworm and drown it in a solution of water and dishwater soap. Some fishermen like to have a jar of live hornworms to use as bait. If the hornworm has a series of white oval shaped balls on their back leave them alone on the plant. A parasitic wasp has laid her eggs on the hornworm. Her young will hatch and will use the hornworm as their breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. ••• There is still time to plant a grass pasture, a new lawn or hay field. However, don’t wait too long as the grass roots need to be established before the ground freezes to prevent their heaving out of the ground when cold weather arrives.

Though six districts were on academic watch, no district was in academic emergency. Gallia County Local School District met 24 out of 26 indicators, putting the district at a 92.3 percent. It was designated as “excellent.” Dr. Charla Evans, Gallia County Local School District Superintendent, said that the district works to align everything they do with two main goals — to keep kids safe and to help all students improve their achievements in the core content areas. She said the district needs to improve on student achievement for students with individual education plans throughout the new year. “We will continue, as budget allows, to do everything we can to expand the opportunities that these students have for quality instruction,” she said. “By that, I mean United Way From Page A1 ambitious goal of raising $100,000 during this three-month time frame. The Senior Center and Holzer Hospice are only two of the 12 local organizations supported by the Gallia County United Way. Others include: Gallia County Girl Scouts, Gallia County Boy Scouts, the Gallia County Red Cross, the Gallia County Outreach Center, FACTS/New Alternatives of Gallipolis, Woodland Centers, the GalliaMeigs Community Action Agency, Serenity House, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Southeast Ohio, and the Gallia County Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Gallia County United Way Executive Director Judy Walters said that she feels it is important for potential sponsors and the public to know that all of the funds collected through their annual fundraising efforts will be used to serve Gallia County residents. “Everything we collect in Gallia County stays in Gallia County, and we allocate it ourselves to those agencies,” said Walters. “We don’t get any direction from the state or national agencies. It is all completely locally controlled.” Although all 12 agencies supported by Gallia County United Way are tied directly to Gallia County, a few — such as Gallia-Meigs Community Action — also serve adjacent counties that do not have county-based United Way organizations. Walters explained that her organization sometimes serves as a conduit for state-level funds collected from Meigs and other counties without their own United Way organizations and that these collected funds are allocated proportionately. Walters and her board understand that their annual goal is a lofty Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A3 we will reduce the student-teacher ratio as we have done in the past for those students to address their individual needs. That’s what having an IEP means, and we’ll continue to do that.” Gallipolis City School District met 19 of 26 indicators and was rated as “effective.” Within the district, Washington Elementary increased 2.7 percent on the Performance Index and Gallia Academy received a 100 percent, which gave them an “excellent” rating. For the year, the district will focus on math and science, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Beth Covey said. “I know that we’re excited that this is the first year that Gallia Academy has been rated as ‘excellent’ and the fourth year that Green has been rated ‘excellent.’ We saw some progress in our other buildings, and so we are excited for this upcoming year, having new buildings — and also with our new Superintendent — getting to ‘excellent’ as a district,” Covey said. In Meigs County, Meigs Local School District met 12 out of 26 indicators with a Performance Index of 91 percent, which leaves the district with an “effective” rating — a rating Superintendent Rusty Bookman said the school has failed to meet in the past. “That was really good from the standpoint that we were on continuous improvement, and this is the first time that Meigs Local was ever rated “effective” since the inception of district report cards,” Bookman said. Though the district was rated as “effective,” he said they were very close to being rated “excellent” and plan to continue to focus on the students with disabilities subgroup. “We were excited about the report card results from the standpoint that it shows that we are definitely growing as a district. I don’t want to paint you the wrong picture, because we’re not where we want to be yet. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re moving in the right direction,” Bookman said. “If you look at the Performance Index, it has been on an upward trend in the last five years in our district, so that’s a good thing.” Following an “excellent” rating the past two years, Southern Local School District received a rating of “effective,” meeting 24 out of 26 indicators with a Performance Index of 99.5 percent. Superintendent Tony Deem said that after being rated “excellent” for a few years on the value added information, it becomes harder for the schools to maintain it because it becomes challenging to continue going over expected growth gain. “This year, even meeting 24 out of 26 indicators and having that Performance Index of 99.5 percent, we end up rating ‘effective’, which I think is hard to understand at times because you would think being that well off that you would be rated as an ‘excellent’ school district,” Deem said. “For us, we set goals and our goal was to reach 100 on the Performance Index, and I think had we reached 100 percent as a school, we would have reached that ‘excellent’ again. But still, our goal was to reach 24 indicators, and we did that, so I’m pretty pleased with that.” Improvements were seen in this year’s state report card at Eastern Local School District, as well. From last year, the district met five more indicators than the previous year and gained roughly a point in the Performance Index. The district’s overall rating remained the same with an “effective” rating, but it met 20 out of 26 indicators with a Performance Index of 95.4 percent and met the value added data. Broken down between the high school and elementary, the high school received an “excellent” rating, while the elementary school remained with an “effective” rating, Superintendent Scot Gheen said. “I was happy overall with our results, but there’s always room for improvement. We’ll continue to work hard to meet the indicators and the goals set for us by the state,” Gheen said. “But overall, I was proud that we had increased our indicators met.” In West Virginia, an AP news release showed that during the 2010-2011 school year, less than half of public schools met their federal yearly progress requirements. Due to the more rigorous nature of WESTEST2 in comparison to the original WESTEST, students needed to score higher in 2010 than in previous years to be considered proficient under No Child Left Behind. Results show that 48 percent of 692 schools met the progress requirement. Despite the results, the West Virginia Department of Education said reading and language scores improved 77 percent and math scores improved 55 percent. In 2009, Mason County School District was ranked 44 out of 55 counties. This year the school saw an improved rank of 33 out of 55 counties, Superintendent Suzanne Dickens said. “We’ve had an intensive look at our structures and our focus is on instruction,” Dickens said. “We are pleased with the results, and and we expect to do even better next year.” one, but they are also confident that it can be done — despite tough economic times. “We’ve been setting our campaign goal at $100,000 every year, and a few years ago we were very successful in meeting that, but last year, for instance, we raised only $66,000,” said Walters. “I still would like to keep the goal at $100,000 because needs are greater than ever before. With all of the downsizings and all of the people out of work, we are getting more and more requests for help,” Walters added. “We are going to have to work much, much harder to raise as much as we possibly can in order to support these organizations.” Walters said that the Gallia County United Way reaches out to potential donors in a number of ways including one-on-one appeals, presentations and the acceptance of online donations through their secure web site (www.unitedwaygallia.or g ), among other methods. Since United Way is a 501©3 organization, all donations are tax deductible. “We like to do presentations to companies, if we can, because the very easiest way to donate is through payroll deduction,” said Walters. “Even a couple of dollars each payday makes a great difference.” The Gallia County United Way has a local office located in the lower level of the U.S. Bank building on Court Street — a kindness provided rent-free by the bank and its representative, Jeff Bassett, who will also be serving as the organization’s honorary campaign chair this year. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to the office at: P.O. Box 771, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Longtime board member and past honorary campaign chair Bob Hood — who also serves as the Gallia County Visitors and Convention Center Executive Director — knows that each campaign is an uphill battle, but he firmly believes in the mission and local impact of the United Way. “We are going to have to get out there, hit the bushes and visit people to get our numbers up. In order to build income, we have to build our people,” said Hood. “It’s also going to take those organizations that we do support to tell their stories so that the public understands the local impact of their generosity.” For further information or to volunteer, visit the Gallia County United Way web site at www.unitedwaygallia.or g or call (740) 446-2442.

First off, it doesn’t take a whole crew to clean up one limb that has fallen from a tree. Second, I did not say that McClure’s or Speedway didn’t look good. I just stated that the businesses uptown should take care of cleaning up in front of their own business; therefore, I asked that the Association go down to McClure’s or Speedway and take care of their lots. Also, in all of that cleaning of brush that you pulled the mowing crew for, I still have a pile of brush that has been called in approximately three times in the last two months. Good thing I didn’t leave it in my grass that I mow once a week, every week so that my yard always looks nice. By the way, the name of the cemetery is Riverview not Riverside. Why should I volunteer when you have several employees riding around doing nothing, which everyone in town sees, and you seem to have a problem hiring anyone from Middleport (local). Keep making excuses. Dave Tyree, Middleport Dear Editor, [I am writing] in reply to your recent article about the GFD Resident Fireman position. My dad was resident fireman from the mid 50's to mid 60's. We lived in the apartment at the station at 518 Second Ave. Around 1963, my dad suffered a major heart attack while on duty, which ended up forcing him to retire on disability. I do not know his salary, but I can tell you from my approximately 10 years living at the station that I’ve seen my dad jump in the middle of the night when the fire phone rang, him getting dress and running down the stairs and heading off to a fire, still not fully awake. I understand that today all fire calls go through 911. It was not so when dad was the resident. He had to deteremine in seconds the situation of the fire, and if his truck could handle it or if additonal trucks were needed. It was dad’s responsibility on every fire call to inform the police dispatcher how many men to call out and have someone either come take another truck on the run or man the station. I don't think dad or anyone else realized the stress this placed on anyone. Your article mentioned that the current situation could result in the resident fireman [who currently makes] $35,000 per year ending up making $300,000. I do not know how things are done now, who determines how many men and trucks to respond to a fire, but I do not think you can put a dollar amount on the stress that is placed on the resident fireman. Incidently, the heart attack my dad suffered on duty was the first of six he had before passing away in 1980 after bypass surgery. Dad struggled to make ends meet on his small Social Security pension. The small settlement the State of Ohio gave him did not even cover half of the medical bills from the first attack. When a fire call comes in, your resident fireman is the very first responder. He is rarely certain what danger he faces when he gets on [the] scene or if he will make it back to the station alive or end up in an emergency room. I do not live in Gallipolis, but I know the curent resident and fire chief and several of the volunteers and I think there has never been one of them in the past 150 years that was paid what they should be paid.

The great cohabitation revolution has begun. The divorce rate for married couples with children is almost back to the levels of the early 1960s, before the run-up that crested in the early 1980s. Considering the decades of social turbulence buffeting the institution of marriage between then and now, this is a notable restoration. But it only means that marriage is unraveling in a different way. According to a new study by the Institute for American Values and the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, cohabitation has increased 14-fold since 1970. About 24 percent of children are born to cohabiting couples, more than are born to single mothers, while another 20 percent experience a cohabiting household at some time in their childhood. On the face of it, this doesn't seem alarming. At least there are two adults there for the kids. Except the research says it isn't enough. Children in cohabiting households tend to lag children in intact married families on key social indicators and Rich Lowry are not much better off than children in single-parent families. We want to believe that all relationships, so long as they are loving and wellintentioned, are equal. It feels like an offense against 21st-century mores to say otherwise. Who are we to make invidious distinctions among loving adults? But there is simply no substitute for marriage, for the relative stability and commitment it provides, and for the environment it creates for children. As a general matter, compared with married couples, people across the gamut of cohabiting relationships report "more conflict, more violence, and lower levels of satisfaction and commitment," in the words of the National Marriage Project study. This basically holds true of unmarried biological parents who are living together. Cohabiting couples are more likely to be depressed and less likely to pool their income. They are in altogether more tenuous relationships. Cohabiting couples with a child are more than twice as likely to break up as married parents. Only 24 percent of children of married parents experience a change in the relationship status of their mothers by age 12. The figure for the children of cohabiting couples is 65 percent. This is especially consequential for the affected children. The study notes "an emerging scholarly consensus that family stability in and of itself is linked to positive child outcomes." Children who experience a divorce or some other -- to use the jargon -- "maternal partnership transition" are more likely "to experience behavioral problems, drug use, problems in school, early sex, and loneliness." Our pop culture tends to celebrate what one sociologist calls "the carousel of intimate relationships" that adults are constantly hopping on and off. Although "Modern Family" has replaced "Leave It to Beaver" as the TV sitcom paradigm of American family life, children have more trouble in complex households formed by people unrelated by birth or marriage. "Children in stepfamilies," according to the study, "are more likely to experience school failure, delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and incarceration than children growing up in intact, married families." Children turn out to benefit from the structure, rituals and identity that come with a lasting marriage between their parents. And the very act of committing to the norms of marriage makes adults better marital partners and parents. One of the more affecting pieces of data in this study is that fathers committed to marriage are more likely to hug their children than fathers who aren't. One of the more disturbing is that children in cohabiting households are more likely to be abused than children both in intact, married families and single-parent families. The advantages of marriage run much deeper than merely having two adults in the house. It is an irreplaceable source of social capital. As we move away from it and social scientists study the consequences, we learn more about why it was such a timeless institution -- once upon a time.

They were tireless workers, demanding bosses and sticklers for detail. They were visionaries, too, who reshaped their respective industries. Their companies faced similar challenges when their iconic leaders left the helm. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., post Walton, has grown while carrying on with many of his traditions, including the hokey WalMart cheer. Microsoft Corp. carefully orchestrated Gates' departure over a two-year period to dampen the shock, but has since struggled to innovate. And now Apple Inc. is grappling with how to continue without Jobs, who after battling with health issues announced Wednesday he would step down and Tim Cook would run the company. Some analysts believe Apple will have a rough time without Jobs. His showmanship is essential since he was selling products that people might want but don't really need, said Charles Fishman, author of "The Wal-Mart Effect." "Wal-Mart was reliant on Sam's genius and insight — his charisma was a bonus," Fishman said. "The products that Steve Jobs is selling, you need charisma to sell them." Many companies have foundered without their founder. Starbucks Corp., for instance, had to bring back Howard Schultz to revitalize the brand, and Dell Inc. did the same with Michael Dell. Companies whose net worth is tied up in their CEO, instead of the product, are the most vulnerable. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., for example, has made an annual profit only once since 2003, when its namesake leader was charged with securities fraud. Apple is not quite so tied to its non-eponymous leader, some analysts say. Apple fans tend to want their iPhones, iPods and iPads simply because they think the product is superior — not because of Jobs' dramatic unveilings. So, if Apple can continue to introduce the best products, then it doesn't matter if it's Jobs or someone else is at the helm, they said. "The products speak for themselves," said Paul Argenti, a professor at Dartmouth College. One reason that companies like Wal-Mart and Microsoft have endured, analysts say, is that their founders weren't afraid to surround themselves with other strong leaders. That meant they left behind teams that could function without them. Gates, for instance, "used to get into screaming matches with some of his employees," said James Wallace, the author of two books about Gates, "Hard Drive" and "Overdrive." "But he was looking for people who were willing to stand up and scream back," Wallace said. Dave Thomas, the founder of the Wendy's hamburger chain, was constantly preparing Wendy's for the day when he'd leave, which made the transition smooth when he relinquished his daily responsibilities around the late '80s, said Denny Lynch, a company spokesman who traveled with Thomas for 20 years. "He was a man with a 10th grade education who surrounded himself with MBAs," Lynch said. "He understood the things he could do well and the things he couldn't." How Apple will fare without Jobs remains to be seen. But companies like Microsoft and WalMart can provide some clues. Sam Walton, Wal-Mart founder Walton's no-frills influence is still a part of the culture at Wal-Mart even though he relinquished the CEO role in 1988 and died four years later at age 74. The strategy, for the most part, has served the company well. Mike Hicks, a Ball State economist and author of "The Local Economic Impact of Wal-Mart", noted how Wal-Mart has expanded in the past two decades while many other discount chains, such as Kmart and A&P, have struggled. Wal-Mart had nearly $420 billion in revenue last year, more than seven times the $55 billion it netted in 1992, when Walton died. "A lot of companies grow with one visionary guy," Hicks said. "What is striking about Wal-Mart is that it continued to do so shockingly well after his death." Walton's image can be found throughout the corporate culture. The original Walton's Five and Dime is now the company's visitor center. It's a shrine to the founder, showing off the 1979 Ford F150 pickup truck he used to drive to work. And although current CEO Mike Duke didn't join the company until 1995, three years after Walton's death, he mentioned the founder's name at least four times at the annual shareholders' meeting in June. He also quoted from Walton's autobiography, "Sam Walton: Made in America." Wal-Mart officials have learned the price of straying away from some of Walton's key principles. The discounter's U.S. business has had an unprecedented nine straight quarters of declines in revenue at stores open at least a year, a key measure of a retailer's health, in part because it veered away from Walton's "everyday low prices" strategy and got rid of some popular products in an effort to declutter stores. Shoppers defected to rivals and now, Wal-Mart is scrambling to re-stock thousands of goods and has gone back to its low pricing model. Still, Wal-Mart has had to choose which parts of Walton's legacy to keep. It has expanded overseas and tried to reshape itself as an environmental leader, moves that Walton likely never imagined. It also has engaged critics rather than roundly ignoring them, as Walton did. And it has scaled back the Saturday meetings — which were held weekly — to once a month. Additionally, Walton saw his company as not a corporation but a mission, bringing low-cost goods to middle America. But as the company has grown, it's had to acknowledge that for many workers, it is just a job. It's faced criticism and legal disputes for some of its labor practices, including the wages it pays and the number of hours it expects store employees to work. "When it's a mission, it means you can get people to work six days a week," Fishman said. "When you're the largest (retail) company in the world you say, 'OK, we want the best talent so we can let people take Saturday off.' There's a little bit of growing up to do." Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder Gates took a long goodbye from Microsoft, the company he co-founded, and left it in the hands of one of his best friends. Gates handed the CEO job to his friend Steve Ballmer in 2000, and stayed on as "chief software architect." Ballmer by then was already a 20-year company veteran and widely considered the heir apparent. In 2006, Gates handed over the software architect role as well, and said he would leave his daily responsibilities in two years to focus on his philanthropic work. "One might say there was some sort of Vulcan mind meld between the two in the way they ran the company," Golvin said, referring to Gates and Ballmer. "So it was not a very big transition in some ways." Ballmer in 2005 had divvied up the company into three divisions, and given broad responsibility and autonomy to the presidents. The company noted this when it announced Gates' planned departure, and said that Gates' leaving was just the next step in a transition process that had been under way for several years. "It's hard to effectively transition when you've got a big personality who's always been there," said John Long, a retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon. "You can't say, 'That's no longer yours. I'd appreciate it if you came to meetings less and less.'" Since Gates' departure, Microsoft has struggled to come up with innovative and successful products, though it's difficult to determine if his leaving is a direct cause. Microsoft, which built its empire by selling software, is trying to figure out how to operate in a world where companies give away software for free. It hasn't kept pace with rival Apple's gadgets like the iPhone and iPad. Microsoft introduced a tablet computer in 2002, but the product was too expensive and too heavy, and as a result, it didn't take off.

He was a member of Faith Baptist Church, Rodney; a member of IUOE Local #18; a former member of Vinton American Legion #161, and a former member of Meigs DAV, as well as a U.S. Army Veteran serving during World War II. In the closing years of World War II, Ish served as a first gunner under Lieutenant General Troy H. Middleton in the famous “Thunderbird”, the 45th Infantry Division of the U.S. Seventh Army. Ish was initially drafted on January 8, 1944. After boot camp at Camp Wolters, TX, he was transported to Naples, Italy, where he landed on July 17, 1944, and was believed their actions would not be properly monitored by supervisory officers and that misconduct would not be investigated or sanctioned, but would be tolerated.” “The custom demonstrated a deliberate indifference on the part of the policymakers of the county and village.” Clay’s wife, Dora, is a co-plaintiff.

Soon Ish was sent to Epinal, in northeastern France, which fell to the Thunderbird on September 24. A week later, the 45th crossed the Moselle River and entered the foothills of Vosges Mountains of Alsace Lorraine. On November 25, the Thunderbird began its push through the Maginot Line. In early January 1945, the 45th fought defensively against a counterattack along the German border. Then in February, the 45th moved north and broke through the Siegfried Line crossing the Rhine on March 26. Finally, in early April of 1945, the Thunderbird began its devastating push across the middle of Germany to the Danube. Following his service to his country, he returned home to Ewington to raise his family.

Young Ko and Meili Cady, both of Los Angeles, previously pleaded guilty to mari- juana distribution charges. Federal Judge Algenon Marbley on Friday sentenced Ko to three years prison and Cady to one month prison and one year house arrest. The 37-year-old Ko, who served as a bodyguard on flights, has said he didn’t realize what he’d gotten himself into. The 25-year-old Cady, an aspiring actress the government considered a minor player, has said she made a bad decision. Her lawyer, Michael J. Proctor, says she’s “been given a wonderful opportunity with this sentence. I can assure you that she won’t waste it.” Survey: 18 percent of Ohio adults are uninsured COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A poll finds 18 percent of Ohio adults have no health insurance, up from the 12 percent who said they were uninsured in a similar poll five years ago. The Ohio Health Issues Poll, conducted by the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, did- n’t ask people why they didn’t have insurance. But foundation Director of Community Research Jennifer Chubinski tells the Columbus Dispatch the numbers reflect that fewer employers are offering health coverage.

Rio Grande From Page A1 Higher Education) has added 63 students when compared to this time last year. In addition to adding many general education courses, an EMT certification program was added along with more classes for those interested in careers in education and health care. Providing more options for students likely boosted enrollment, Long said, as did the center establishing a fan base of sorts. Long said a survey of students who were taking freshmen courses was done to determine how they learned about the Meigs Center and in addition to print and other media outlets, by far, several of those students said they had a friend or relative who attended the facility at some point. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A6 “Our students are by far our best marketing tool,” Long said. This year the ratio between the traditional freshman who just exited high school and the nontraditional adult student is more split than in the past. “We still have the majority of students who are non-traditional but we’re seeing more and more traditional students and the economy has a lot to contribute to this,” she said. “Gas prices are high and students are looking for more affordable options. Students recognize they can get a great education here without spending money to travel. It’s also comfortable here...the thought of going to a large campus makes some students anxious and they can transition here without a lot of stress.” One aspect of that transition is also one of the best kept secrets about URG’s Meigs Center — students who start at the center don’t necessarily have to finish there thanks to credits that transfer to other institutions. In short, the Rio Center has become a great starting place for students as well as a great final destination, depending on the student’s goals. Long says staff are ready to help students determine their next stop when continuing their education beyond the community college level. The future of the Meigs Center will likely include expanding even more educational opportunities for students beyond that community college level. Long said URG has a new academic structure and leadership which is determining how the facility can grow to possibly add baccalaureate programs and continuing education courses for education professionals. �Sunday, August 28, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Meigs County calendar Monday, Aug. 22 POMEROY – Meigs County Library Board will meet at 3:30 p.m. at the Pomeroy Library.

RIO GRANDE — For seniors in the area, early September usually brings a time of excitement for the annual Senior Expo that is sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7). Unfortunately for 2011, Senior Expo had to be canceled with the hopes of a return in the future. “We were so disappointed to cancel Expo for this year,” commented Pamela K. Matura, Executive Director of the AAA7. “Due to budget issues and a tightening of funding within our own Agency, it was in our best interest to cancel for this year. Even though it was a very tough decision as we know so many enjoy attending the event, we also knew that it was a good decision in order to focus on the services and programs we provide to seniors and those with disabilities in our ten-county district. We look forward to the opportunity of hosting Expo again in the future.” At this time, no decision has been made regarding Senior Expo for 2012. Once known, that information will be relayed to the community and AAA7 service providers. Your local Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. provides services on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Another 0-1 start to the gridiron campaign. Visiting Alexander racked up 436 yards of total offense while claiming its sixth straight Week 1 victory over Eastern on Friday night during a 41-6 non-conference decision at East Shade River Stadium in Meigs County. The Spartans (1-0) led 34-0 at the half and were ahead by as many as 41 points in the third quarter, as the guests ruined the head-coaching debut of first-year Eagles coach David Tennant. Host Eastern (0-1) — which hasn’t won a season opener since 2004 — mustered 188 yards of total offense in the setback, most of which came in the second half. In fact, the Eagles’ lone score of the night came with just 22 seconds left in regulation — as Ethan Steger rumbled 71 yards to paydirt to close out the 35-point outcome. The Spartans — who amassed 351 rushing yards on 52 carries — led 14-0 after the first quarter of play. Tyler Smith plunged in from three yards out with 5:54 left in the first for a 7-0 lead, then Michael Douglas gave the guests a 14-0 cushion with a fouryard run at the 1:58 mark in the first. Chris Grant gave AHS a 21-0 lead after a five-yard run with 4:58 left in the first half, then Grant added a one-yard scoring run with just 24 seconds left in the half for a commanding 28-0 edge. Following an EHS interception with three seconds left, quarterback Trey Bennett found Gage Miller on a 31-yard scoring strike as the first half time expired — allowing Alexander to take a comfortable 34-0 cushion into the intermission. Nathan Stover increased the Spartan edge to 41-0 with a 13-yard scoring run with 7:20 in the third, then the guests went without a point the rest of the evening. Alexander had a 21-9 edge in first downs and was also penalized nine times for 60 yards. Eastern was flagged five times for 37 yards. Both teams committed one turnover in the contest. Steger led the hosts with 71 rushing yards on one carry, while Ethan Nottingham churned out 36 yards on 10 attempts. QB Joey Scowden finished the night 4-of-10 passing for 44 yards, with one interception. Max Carnahan led the EHS wideouts with two grabs for 23 yards. Bennett led the guests with 111 rushing yards on 11 carries, followed by Benton Milum with 81 yards on 10 totes. Bennett was also 3-of-5 passing for 85 yards. Miller led the AHS wideouts with two catches for 40 yards. Eastern returns to action Friday when it travels to Corning for the TVC Hocking opener against Miller. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Alexander 41, Eastern 6 Please see SPARTANS, XX B1 Sunday, August 28, 2011 Raiders stop Federal Hocking, 13-12 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM BIDWELL, Ohio — Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Those committed can cost a team the game, but those forced can seal the win. The River Valley Raiders made the most of the five Federal Hocking turnovers during Friday’s season opener, but seven turnovers of their own almost cost the Raiders the win. In the end it was a River Valley interception of an Alex Nichols pass with :26 remaining that gave the Raiders their first win since last year’s season opener. River Valley earned the 13-12 victory. “Coming from where were coming from, yeah we made a lot of mistakes, we shot ourselves in the foot, but we never quit playing. And that’s all you can ask for. Mistakes are going to happen but we kept playing and I’m so proud of these guys right now,” said head coach Jerrod Sparling. The Raiders and new head coach Sparling proved they were ready to play from the opening kick off. The Raiders — who were kicking off to start the contest — recovered an onside kick, taking possession near midfield. A mix of running by Patrick Williams and shot pass plays from Austin Whobrey to Ethan Dovenbarger and Trey Noble brought the Raiders within the 10 yard line. Whobrey’s second and goal pass was intercepted at the goal line by Federal Hocking’s Kyle Jackson, giving the Lancers control of the Please see RAIDERS, B3 Sarah Hawley/photo The River Valley kickoff team kicks off to open the game and the 2011 season on Friday evening at River Valley football field in Cheshire, Ohio.

Gallia Academy bitten by Bulldogs, 15-10 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — So much for the friendly confines of home. The Gallia Academy football team stormed out to a 100 advantage early in the third quarter Friday night, but visiting Athens countered with 15 unanswered points down the stretch to secure a 15-10 victory in the non-conference season opener for both programs at Memorial Field. The host Blue Devils (0-1) never trailed through three quarters of play, but the Bulldogs (1-0) put together a 12-play, 70-yard drive to start the fourth — which resulted in the Green and Gold’s first lead of the night with 7:36 left in regulation. The Blue and White had two more opportunities to recapture the lead, but neither offensive drive came to fruition. The first drive resulted in a loss of downs at the AHS 41 with 4:49 remaining, then Athens came up with an interception at the GAHS 37 with just 51 seconds left in regulation. The Bulldogs took a knee on the final two plays of the game, allowing Athens to come away from opening night with its second straight decision over GAHS at Memorial Field in three years. With the loss, the Blue Devils have not won a season opener at home since defeating Meigs by a 28-6 margin in 2005. For AHS coach Ryan Adams, this victory was all about believing in his players and sticking to a game plan — even though the Blue Devils tried their very best to knock things off course. “Gallia Academy had one heck of defensive game plan for what we wanted to do tonight. I didn’t think they would be able to do what they did to us tonight, and they did ... and they did a hell of a job of it,” Adams said. “Our game plan was to try and wear them out, and I Please see GALLIA, B2 S O U T H E R N R E M E M B E R S O N E O F T H E I R OW N Alex Hawley/photos Prior to Friday eveningʼs season opener at Southern High School, students, faculty, fans and players paused to remember Southern junior wide receiver J.J. Gray — who passed away as the result of an automobile accident on August 14. Several in attendance released balloons into the air, while members of Grayʼs family were presented his framed jersey. The 2011 Southern football team has chosen to dedicate this season to Gray. Following the ceremoy, the Tornadoes faced Symmes Valley in the season opener. The visiting Vikings won by a score of 34-21. Details of the contest will appear in a later sports edition of The Daily Sentinel, Point Pleasant Register and Gallipolis Daily Tribune. SCIOTOVILLE, Ohio — All’s well that ends well. The South Gallia football team rallied from an 18-14 halftime deficit by scoring 23 unanswered points in the second half en route to a 37-18 victory Friday night over host Sciotoville East in a non-conference matchup in Scioto County. The visiting Rebels (1-0) led 7-0 after one period of play and was ahead 14-6 early in the second canto, but the Tartans (0-1) countered with consecutive scores just before the break to take a four-point cushion into the intermission. SGHS, however, responded with an offensive onslaught in the second half — which allowed the Red and Gold to earn the program’s first season-opening triumph since the 2007 campaign. It was also the first time the Rebels beat East in headto-head competition since the 2006 season, snapping a three-game losing skid against the Tartans. The Rebels amassed 334 yards of total offense — which included an even balance between the rushing (166 yards) and passing (168 yards) games. SGHS also finished the night plus-2 in turnover differential, including a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown by Josh Cooper in the second half. Corey Haner, Ethan Spurlock and Jacob White each added a rushing touchdown for the guests, and Haner also hooked up with Cooper on a scoring pass in the first half. The Tartans scored all of their points in the second quarter, with Cody Belveal coming up with two of those scores. Belveal had an 85-yard TD run to pull the hosts within 7-6 early in the second canto, then hauled in a 40-yard pass from Justin Crager to pull East within 14-12. East caused a SGHS fumble just before the half, and a defender picked up the loose ball and rumbled all the way to the endzone — allowing the Tartans to take their only lead of the night at 18-14. Haner led the Rebels with 84 rushing yards on seven carries, followed by Spurlock with 72 yards on nine totes. John Johnson had one carry for 45 yards, while White added 32 yards on five attempts. Austin Phillips also had 16 yards on four tries. Haner finished the night 6-of-14 passing for 168 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception. Cooper had a gamehigh 158 receiving yards on three catches. Spurlock also had one catch for 10 yards. Austin Combs and Andy Welch also recorded an interception apiece in the South Gallia triumph. The Rebels return to action Friday when they host Southern in the TVC Hocking opener for both clubs at 7:30 p.m. No other statistical information from this game was available at presstime. �Page B2 • Sunday Times-Sentinel Gallia from Page B1 thought our conditioning really paid off in that fourth quarter. We showed a lot of determination in the fourth quarter, and that was the deciding factor in this outcome.” GAHS coach Mike Eddy, on the other hand, was pleased with how well his Blue Devils played in the season opener — even if the final outcome wasn’t the desired result. “I couldn’t have asked for any more effort or passion from these guys than what they gave tonight,” Eddy said. “These guys played their hearts out, and that’s what makes it hurt so much. We played well enough to win and put ourselves in a position to win, it just didn’t work out that way on the scoreboard.” The Bulldogs outgained Gallia Academy by a sizable 265-71 margin in total offense, which included a 111-24 edge in yardage at the half. But despite the one-sidedness of those stats, it was the Blue Devils who found themselves sitting in a nice position at the intermission. The only scoring in the first half came with 6:30 W.Va.

Taylor’s boot capped a 10-play, 35yard drive that lasted 4:19. Athens racked up 73 rushing yards and 38 passing yards in the first half, but that advantage was for not — as AHS committed the only turnover before halftime. GAHS, conversely, managed just 21 rushing yards on 22 attempts and also had three passing yards at the break. Athens forced a threeand-out to start the second half, but committed its second turnover of the night on its opening drive of the third quarter — which allowed Gallia Academy to take over possession at the Bulldogs 49yard line. The Athens defense held again and forced a punt, but Taylor picked off a Josh Skinner pass on the ensuing AHS drive that again gave the hosts possession at the Bulldog 28 with 6:22 left in the quarter. The Blue Devils needed four plays to march 28 yards to paydirt, as Wade Jarrell scrambled out of a broken play and ran 27 yards for the first touchdown of the evening. Jarrell’s jaunt came with 3:57 left in the third, allowing GAHS to take its biggest lead of the night at 10-0. The Bulldogs wasted little time to retaliate, putting together a sixplay, 78-yard scoring drive that lasted 2:04 to pull back to within a possession at 10-7. DeVon Sharp hauled in a 54yard bomb from Josh Skinner with 1:43 left in the third to get Athens back to within a field goal. Gallia Academy had a three-and-out series, then punted that ball back to Athens at its own 30 with 34.9 seconds left in the quarter. Twelve plays, 70 yards and 4:59 later, the Bulldogs captured the lead for good when Sharp plunged in from a yard out on third-and-goal. Sharp’s second TD of the night came with 7:36 left in regulation, allowing Athens to take a 13-10 cushion. The ensuing extra point almost turned into disaster for AHS, as the PAT hold was bobbled by Skinner. Skinner picked up the ball and scrambled to the left, then floated a lob pass towards Austin Ziolkowski. Ziolkowski successfully hauled in the two-point conversion, allowing the guests to take a 15-10 advantage.

Federal Hocking moved the ball quickly with Delbert Crum taking the first play 57 yards and into River Valley territory before being brought down by Trey Noble. The Lancers moved the ball inside the 30 yard line with rushes by Crum and passes by Nichols. River Valley’s Austin Davies intercepted a fourth down pass by Nichols at the River Valley 17 yard line with 4:14 remaining in the first quarter, returning it 83 yards for the first score of the game. The extra point kick failed, giving the Raiders the 60 lead. Multiple penalties on the next possession forced the Lancers to punt the ball back to River Valley. The Raiders used the mix of run and pass to take the ball to the Federal Hocking 22 yard line before turning it over. The Whobrey pass was deflected and intercepted by Federal Hocking’s Kelvin Santiago. Three plays later the Lancers made their way to the end zone. Nichols connected with Jackson for a 68 yard touchdown. The two point conversion attempt failed, tying the score at six. River Valley’s next possession ended on a fumble, which was recovered by the Lancers Laikwan Wilder. The Lancers could not capitalize on the turnover, with a sack by Kyle Brown and Cody Holley forcing Federal Hocking to punt. The Raiders next two possessions both ended in interceptions, with Wilder returning the first for a 25 yard touchdown. The Lancers took the 12-6 lead after the failed two point conversion. Federal Hocking looked ready to score again in the closing seconds of the first half, before Whobrey intercepted the Nichols pass at the River Valley four yard line. The Raiders took a knee, sending the game to the half. River Valley’s Trey Noble took the opening kick off of the second half back to the Federal Hocking 30 yard line, with a penalty moving the Raiders 15 yards closer. First and 10 and just 15 yards to go the Raiders once again had a chance to score, but as they had done in the first half, the turnovers proved costly. Federal Hocking’s Santiago forced and recovered a fumble on the first play from scrimmage, ending the scoring chance. Neither team moved the ball well over the next few possessions, until River Valley’s running game took over with 5:13 remaining in the first half. Three runs by the quarterback Whobrey and four by Williams give River Valley its second touchdown of the game. The score came on a 17 yard run by Whobrey as he dove over the goalline to tie the game. The extra point kick by Jacob Leach was good to give River Valley the one point lead. Federal Hocking’s next possession ended with a fumble in River Valley territory, with the next three series all ending in punts. As the Lancers took possession of the ball at the 5:32 mark of the fourth quarter, they placed the ball in the hands of Matt Pierce. Pierce carried the ball seven times on the final possession and caught one pass, moving the ball to the River Valley nine yard line.

Nichols attempted to connect with a receiver in the corner of the endzone, but River Valley’s Noble intercepted the pass to give the ball and the win. “Coach Wilcoxen and his staff do a great job and my hats off to them. Without the defensive staff we wouldn’t have won this game,” said Sparling. “When your defense scores its always a help and they did tonight. I can’t say enough about our staff and our players defensively. When the occasion came, they came up big.” The win was the first for River Valley since week one of last season at Federal Hocking. The Raiders had not won at home since the 2009 season opener (a forfeit win over Minford). Prior to that victory the Raiders had defeated Rock Hill in week 10 of the 2008 season. The 2008 season was also the last time the Raiders have won a game outside of week one — they were 3-7. “It’s nerve racking, but I’m glad we have it,” said Sparling after the win. “It”s a big relief.” The Raiders had 132 yards of total offense to 276 yards for the Lancers in the game. River Valley turned the ball over seven times to five for the Lancers. Federal Hocking was penalized 13 times for 115 yards, while River Valley had five penalties for 45 yards. Whobrey, Noble and Davies each had an interceptions for the Raiders, with Davies returning one for a touchdown. The Raiders will host Symmes Valley in week 2 in a non-league contest, while Federal Hocking travels to Waterford.

Point bested Wahama by six strokes, South Gallia by nine strokes and River Valley. Point’s final total was 178. Wahama shot a 184, while South Gallia finishing with a 187. River Valley’s 235 placed them fourth in the nine hole, play six, count four format. Because of course conditions, the match was played on holes 1-6 and 16-18 playing to a par of 37. The morning rains left the course very wet, as well as sloppy in some areas making scoring difficult for everyone except Opie Lucas. Lucas’ score of 34 included 5 birdies, 2 bogeys and 2 pars. He was, of course, medalist for the contest. Erik Allbright provided a 46 in support of Lucas. Kelsey Allbright and Denver Thomas each added a 49 to account for Point’s 4 scores that counted. Adam Thomas shot a 53 which was not included in the final count. Wahama’s players struggled with the course conditions with Kevin Back’s 43 the best score the team could post. Dakota Sisk added a 45, Michael MacKnight a 47 and Samuel Gordon shot the team’s 4th best score with a 49. Morgan Nottingham and Austin Ohlinger also played for the White Falcons, but their scores were not included in the final total. South Gallia, a new member to the TVC Hocking Division, is proving to be anything but a push over in their first year in the league. David Michael led his team with a 44 followed closely by Gus Slone’s 46. Seth Jerrell added a 48 with the 49 by Ethen Swain accounting for the 4 counting scores. Casin Roush and Andy Welch posted scores that were not added to the final count. The short handed and inexperienced team from River Valley was led by Dan Goodrich with a 46. Jordan Howell posted a 57 while Taylor Woolridge added a 64 followed by Zack Morris with a 68. The match between Wahama and South Gallia was an official TVC Hocking Division contest.

Cruising the woodlots for bushytails is a great way to do some scouting leading up to Sept. 24, when you can set aside the scattergun or rimfire and pick up your bow in search of whitetail deer. This is going to be a year of changes, big changes, for hunters in Ohio — especially the deer hunters – as we get used to negotiating a new game checking system using the telephone or internet. I had commented several months ago that check stations and metal tags were a thing of the past, and many hunters are about to run head-on into that fact here in a few weeks. Hunters must still report their deer harvest, but will no longer have to take it to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters will have three options to complete the automated game check: on the Internet at ohiogamecheck.com or wildohio.com, by telephone at 1-877-TAGITOH (877-824-4864) — this option will only be available to those who are required to purchase deer or turkey permits, or at any license agent. Landowners hunters who don’t have to buy a license and hunt only on their own land will be able to check deer or turkey that is harvested using the Internet or at a license agent. The phone-in method will not be available for landowner hunters who tag their game as a landowner harvest. Landowners will still need to make their own temporary tags in order to check deer or turkey. WE PUMP SEPTIC TANKS!

But in the end, the luck of the Irish allowed visiting Charleston Catholic to come away from Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field Thursday night with a 1-0 decision in Mason County. The host Big Blacks (1-2-0) — who were eliminated from the Class AA postseason by CCHS last fall — held the perennial powers scoreless in the first half, then kept the Irish without a goal for 26 minutes before the fates lined up against PPHS. In the 67th minute, Mitchell Stanley threw the ball in from the sidelines. The ball wasn’t cleared and bounced over the head of the defense, and Domenic Cipollone played the ball off the bounce to give the Irish a 1-0 edge. “I thought the ball was already across the line, untouched from the throw in,” PPHS coach Chip Wood noted afterwards. “The play should have been called dead, because you cannot score off a throw in. But I’m not the referee.” Charleston Catholic out-shot the hosts 18-3 in the contest and had a 122 edge in corner kicks. Point was whistled for nine fouls, while the Irish earned only three fouls. Brady Reymond made eight saves in net for the Big Blacks, while Keiffer Reed came up with two saves for CCHS. Point Pleasant returns to action Saturday when it travels to Weir for a non-conference matchup.

My music is based off the history of Appalachia, and there’s a lot of Depression-era content, like Bluegrass, but it has my slant on it, which is, obviously, a very hybrid version of Bluegrass and Rock ‘n’ Roll,” King said. “That’s the exciting part because I feel like I’m connecting with my own people by Magic Mama Band, 7 p.m. Valley Road, 6 p.m. Neon Nickel, 2 p.m. Blue Sky Falling, 4 p.m. coming here. It’s just the town’s name is different from where I grew up, but it’s my home — it’s Appalachia.” King, who grew up in the heart of Appalachia, outside of Ashville, North Carolina, signed with Atlantic Records after moving to Nashville in the 1990s. His first album was released in 1997 and a sophomore album was released in 1999. King continued to work throughout the 2000s as a music producer and writer, and his next solo album was not released until 2010. And, while, admittedly, King’s music might not be as well known in southern Ohio as it is in other areas of the country, he is excited to have the opportunity to introduce his music to the Ohio River Live audience. “I’ve been waiting for Ohio to raise their hand,” King said. “I’ve been waiting for this to happen. I’ve been waiting for Ohio to come to the party, and you guys were it. That’s what’s so exciting for me.” The festival, a grassroots effort to promote tourism and culture in Gallipolis and Gallia County, has been organized by a group of community-minded businessmen and women and musicians. The all-day event will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3 on Court Street in downtown Gallipolis and will continue throughout the day, leading up to Matt King’s performance at 8 p.m. The event will kick off with a performance by Point Pleasant native Paul Doeffinger, followed by southern rock and country band Neon Nickel at 2 p.m., Gallipolis-based Soul of the Machine will take the stage at 3 p.m., Point Pleasant hard rock quintet Blue Sky Falling will perform at 4 p.m., rock veterans Blitzkrieg will play at 5 p.m. and southern rockers Valley Road at 6 p.m. The soulful sound of the Magic Mama Band will fill the stage beginning at 7 p.m. King, a festival veteran, is honored to play at the event that will feature a talented line up of local acts. “It’s an honor, and I’ve played many festivals over the years. I’ve been doing this, so getting to headline one, as far as headling goes, to me, it Matt King, 8 p.m. just means it’s a bigger party, it’s more festive,” King said. “It gives us an opportunity, also, to feel like we’re a part of, hopefully, something annual in a community. When you have an opportunity to have an entire community embrace your music at once, you kind of automatically get a new group of people to follow your music. It’s two ways, we get fans and also we give back and get to be a part of something.” While the success of the festival is undetermined, the Ohio River Live committee is hopeful that the Sept. 3 event will help to fund a festival in 2012, as well as allow the committee to host quarterly live music events throughout the year. King, for his part, will be happy to connect to the community and event organizers, no matter what the crowd size. “Whether it’s fifty people or five thousand or fifty thousand, to know that we have had great night and the other bands are excited to be a part of it and to be able to connect with the other people performing and know that it’s just a big festival where everybody connects, to me that would be successful,” King said. “A lot of music venues, you pull up and you do your gig and you leave, but I love connecting with people, everybody from the stage manager to the sound engineers, to, not just the audience, but the other acts and the organizers. That’s always been my philosophy when I play, and it always will be. It’s always seemed to work.” Tickets for the Ohio River Live Music Festival are $15 and are available at www.ohioriverlive.ticketleap.com/m attking or at Coach’s Corner, 328 Second Ave., Gallipolis. Children 10 and under get in free, and ticket holders can come and go throughout the day as they please. Event goers should bring a lawn chair.

Ohio Catholic school cancels Muslim goodwill event CINCINNATI (AP) — A Roman Catholic high school dropped plans for a Ramadan dinner after hearing complaints about its partnership with a Muslim advocacy group that federal officials have linked to a terror financing case. Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr received “emotionally charged” emails — mostly from outside the area — and asked the girls school to cancel plans to host the Friday night dinner, Kirsten MacDougal, president of Mother of Mercy school, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. The dinner to build goodwill with Muslims will be held instead at a church parish center. There were no threats among the “heated” complaints over the school’s plans to cohost the meal with the local chapter of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations, but the archbishop didn’t want to take chances with children’s safety, Dan Andriacco, a spokesman for the Cincinnati archdiocese, told the Associated Press. “There was an elevated emotional temperature on the part of some people that caused the archbishop concern,” Andriacco said. He had not seen the complaints but believes they mostly centered on concerns over the national council. Schnurr was not available for comment. The school planned to co-host the dinner after some Mercy students and students linked with the council worked together on community service, and several families were planning to attend, MacDougal told the AP. “We share the concern over safety, but it is sad that this has distracted from our positive intent on both sides,” she said. MacDougal didn’t know how many complaints the archdiocese received, but said they were mostly emails from people who follow news about CAIR’s national office. The Washington D.C.-based Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization has been on the radar of federal agencies investigating terrorism for years, and the FBI no longer works directly with the group. Local agents do talk to CAIR officials and have investigated claims of civil rights violations against Muslims, said Mike Brooks, the FBI spokesman in Cincinnati. CAIR has repeatedly condemned terrorism, violence and religious extremism, national CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said. He said CAIR’s defense of American Muslims’ civil rights has made it “a target for hatemongers” and the group understands that “people get frightened and don’t want to be the subject of a hate e-mail campaign.” MacDougal said her school and the archdiocese still support interfaith dialogue, but the dinner’s proximity to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks also was a factor. Tom Tegenkamp — whose daughter wanted to attend the event — understands, but said it was a “shame this had to be canceled over security concerns.” Another Mercy parent, Kelly Jennings, told the Enquirer that she was glad it was canceled. “There were a lot of parents who were up in arms about it,” she said. Ramadan is the holiest month in Islam, a time when Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during the daylight hours but break their fast with a meal at night that is sometimes shared with non-Muslims. Roula Allouch, board president of the local CAIR chapter, said she considered canceling the event after learning of the school’s decision, but was grateful that a local group of lay Catholics rented the center for the meal.

Republican state Sen. Jane Cunningham, who sponsored the measure, said she already has been working with education groups on a potential compromise that would repeal the existing law and replace it with a lessspecific requirement for local school districts to develop policies about teacher-student communications. Cunningham said it’s important to make the change as soon as possible. “There’s no reason for us to punt on this thing and let it continue to simmer and draw attention from all over the world,” said Cunningham, who represents a suburban St. Louis district. The Missouri law would have barred teachers from using websites that give “exclusive access” to current students or former students who are 18 or younger. That would have meant that communication through Facebook or other social networking sites had to be done in public, rather than through private messages. The limits on Internet communications were included in a broader education bill passed earlier this year with the overwhelming support of the Legislature and various schools groups, including the Missouri State Teachers Association, which later filed suit over the social networking provisions. One of its main provisions, which was not challenged, requires schools to share information with other districts about teachers who have sexually abused students and allows lawsuits in cases where districts fail to disclose such information and teachers later abuse someone else. Nixon said he still supports those provisions and is not asking for them to be repealed. A public backlash began to build against the social networking provisions over the summer, as some teachers preparing for the new school year began complaining that the law could hamper both their classroom activities and school-related conversations that occur afterhours. “This particular issue took a national tone, and we started to hear from teachers not just in Missouri but from throughout the United States,” said Todd Fuller, a spokesman for the Missouri State Teachers Association. One third-grade teacher, for example, feared the law could prevent her class from communicating with one in Australia through a closed website. Others raised concerns about virtual classrooms in which students communicate with direct messages, Fuller said. In its lawsuit, the teachers association said websites such as Facebook and Twitter have become a common part of modern interaction between teachers and students and argued that restricting them would violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The judge said the teachers’ lawsuit had a 35-75 % OFF good likelihood of success. His order noted that social networking sites are used extensively by teachers and that the law would have restricted online communications even between family members in which teachers are parents. “The breadth of the prohibition is staggering,” Beetem wrote in his order, which blocks the law until Feb. 20 so that a hearing on a permanent injunction can be held. The judge’s order specifically assures teachers that they cannot be disciplined for engaging in private online communications with students while the injunction is in effect — even if it is later overturned. The attorney general’s office, which defended the law in court, declined to comment Friday. Fuller said that if lawmakers repeal the law, then the group’s lawsuit would become moot. “But until that happens we wouldn’t drop the suit,” he added.

(AP) — A new Missouri law prohibiting teachers from having private online conversations with students suffered a double setback Friday. First, a judge blocked it from taking effect because of free speech concerns. Then the governor called for its repeal. The law limiting teacher-student conversations through social networking sites such as Facebook had been scheduled to take effect Sunday. But Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem issued a preliminary injunction blocking it until at least February, saying the restrictions “would have a chilling effect” on free speech rights. A couple of hours later, Gov. Jay Nixon said he would ask lawmakers to repeal the restrictions during a previously scheduled special session that starts Sept. 6. Nixon’s request goes even further than the judge’s order, which was confined to private conversations on non-workrelated websites. The governor also wants lawmakers to reverse new restrictions on workrelated websites and abolish a requirement for schools to develop written policies by January on teacher-student communications. Nixon, who signed the legislation last month, said Friday that the provisions about online communication are “causing substantial confusion and concern among teachers, students and families” and thus should be stricken. “In a digital world, we must recognize that BUY 5 is prrooud to partner with FREE HEARING TEST Contact us today for FREE ESTIMATES on Energy-efficent Windows and Entry Doors. 740-446-1744 800-634-5265 28 CEDAR STREET, GALLIPOLIS, OHIO Is the Economy Jeopardizing Your Health? or M More ore ® W indows In Windows ug.

(AP) — Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s companies in 16 states will share more than $103 million in federal funding to help expand broadband Internet access to those areas of rural America that haven’t been reached by the high-speed service or are underserved, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Monday. Policymakers, public interest groups and telecom companies are seeking to bridge the digital divide by reaching even the most remote pockets of the U.S. with broadband internet, hoping to improve economic and educational opportunities there. “There’s a big gap that remains between rural and urban areas because it’s just hard to make a business case in rural areas,” said Jonathan Adelstein, the agriculture department’s rural utilities service administrator, in a conference call with reporters. “Rural areas’ future depends upon access to broadband and we’re not where we need to be today.” The states that will benefit from the funding are: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, O k l a h o m a , Te x a s , Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As many as one in 10 Americans can’t get Internet connections fast enough to engage in such common online activities as watching video or teleconferencing, and two thirds of schools have broadband connections that are too slow to meet their needs, the Commerce Department reported earlier this year. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission released a national broadband plan that set a goal of hooking up 100 million U.S. households to broadband connections of 100 megabits per second by 2020. That’s at least 20 times faster than many existing home connections. About 28 percent of rural America, or nearly 19 million people, lack access to Internet with speeds of three megabits per second or faster, compared with only 3 percent, or 7.2 million people, in non-rural areas, according to an FCC report titled “Bringing Broadband to Rural America.” Adelstein said rural areas lag behind the urban areas of the country when it comes to broadband Internet access because the more remote areas don’t have enough people, have rugged terrain, or it’s too costly for companies to serve them. One of the grants announced Monday will help provide Internet services to about 570 members of the Karuk Native American Tribe in a mountainous region of Orleans, in northern California. “It is a remarkably remote place. It’s one of the darkest places from space in the lower 48” states, said Craig Tucker, a spokesman for the tribe. Tucker said lack of reliable Internet services is a “limiting factor for economic development” for the tribe and the nonNative community that lives in the area as well. “There’s not really good cell phone service, or Internet service. Even electricity is a struggle/ A lot of people are off the grid entirely,” he said. Another grant will help rebuild the broadband infrastructure in Tushka, Okla., which was hit by a tornado in April that killed two people and destroyed or damaged numerous buildings in the community. Adlestein said there’s still a “long way to go” in terms of bringing rural America in line with the rest of the country, and he added that one of the challenges is that young people won’t stay in communities without broadband Internet access. “There’s not a future there for them,” he said. “Not only do they expect it, but they need it ... if young people want to stay rural areas where they grew up.” The majority of the funding comes in the form of infrastructure loans of totaling about $90 million for five broadband projects. These projects join others across the countries that are sharing $192 million in loans announced by the Agriculture Department in late July. About $13 million of the funding is through the USDA’s Community Connect program, which provides grants to rural, economically challenged communities. The funds can be used to build, buy or lease facilities to bring broadband access to community facilities such as schools and government offices, as well as residents and businesses. The USDA funding is just one of several federal, state and local programs working to expand Internet access to rural parts of the country. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C6 Ohio nuke plant radiation prompts more oversight TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Nuclear regulators plan to significantly increase inspections at a reactor near Cleveland where four contractors were exposed to radiation last spring. The plant along Lake Erie violated several safety regulations and failed to provide sufficient instructions to the workers, leading to low to moderate safety concerns, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Friday. The plant’s staff didn’t do enough to protect the contractors from being exposed to higher levels of radiation than are normal, said Mark Satorius, an NRC official who oversees plants in the Great Lakes area. The agency said there was no danger to Perry Nuclear Power Plant or the public. In addition to the stepped up oversight, the NRC said the plant’s operators also must develop corrective and preventive measures. The four workers were exposed to radiation on April 22 while they were trying to remove a monitor for measuring nuclear reactions. They had been brought in to help the plant shut down to refuel and were in a containment building underneath the reactor. They had to avoid a 6foot-deep hole in the floor when increased radiation levels forced them to flee the area, the NRC said last month. The workers also failed to follow procedure, according to the report. A k r o n - b a s e d FirstEnergy Corp., which owns the plant, said the highest radiation exposure to any of the workers was the equivalent of two or three chest X-rays. Company spokesman Todd Schneider said Friday that new safety procedures have been put in place and the plant was increasing oversight of contract workers. It also will develop a plan to improve human performance in all areas, he said. FirstEnergy will be required to pay for the increased inspections, Schneider said. The nuclear plant, about 30 miles northeast of Cleveland, had several safety problems several years ago, which led the NRC to monitor its safety operations every three months in 2005, when the plant was forced to shut down briefly because of problems with pumps that circulate coolant through the reactor’s core. Theater in Cincinnati to reopen with $3M makeover CINCINNATI (AP) — A 1928 theater in downtown Cincinnati has received a $3 million makeover and is set for a grand reopening next month hosted by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and featuring a performance by the Cincinnati Pops. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports upgrades to the Taft Theatre include a $1.3 million eco-friendly air conditioning system, larger seats and increased restroom capacity. The theater also features wall murals, ceiling rosettes, crown moldings, terrazzo floors and some original, craftsman-style light fixtures. The Orchestra took over Taft operations last September, upgrading to attract touring acts and provide a temporary home for the symphony and pops when their Music Hall is renovated beginning in 2013. The theater was built by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and is part of the Cincinnati Masonic Temple. Donors funded renovations. Ohio gives public chance at drawing political maps COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio is inviting residents to give suggestions on how state legislative district lines should be redrawn, but whether any will actually be incorporated into the final map is up to a panel that's not required to do anything with the input. The outcome has gone both ways in other states that have allowed the public to give suggestions during the during the once-per-decade redistricting process. California legislators are now required to incorporate suggestions from the public into their map, and residents say that has improved the fairness of the process. But voter advocates in Illinois are fighting the map legislators there came up with, charging in a lawsuit that the process was a farce. They say the map contained little, if any of the suggestions offered by residents. Ohio wraps up a week of 11 public hearings on Friday, joining the list of states that are adding more public involvement this year in the name of transparency. Residents still can send their ideas through a state website. Loyola Law School associate professor Justin Levitt, an expert on redistricting, said hearings open to residents are common across the country this year, after the process 10 years ago prompted backlash from voter groups in some states.
