Jay Holsinger, 36, Rio Grande, was reported missing in May and was only later spotted in Washing- Holsinger in custody following alleged theft ton, Missouri, Franklin County, early in August. Reportedly, Holsinger had been living with a female in Missouri under an assumed alias after meeting the victim on an online dating site. Holsinger subsequently came under investigation by the Washington Missouri Police Department after he was alleged to have stolen property from the female on or about Aug. 2. Following the incident, offi- cials with the police department reported that no charges against Holsinger had been filed in regard to that incident, and they were seeking information in regard to the suspect’s whereabouts. On Oct. 4, Holsinger was arrested by officers and incarcerated after he allegedly stole a computer and several gaming systems from a female in Jefferson County, Missouri — located just of south of Saint Louis, Mo. According to Sgt. John Wolf of the Jefferson County Missouri Sheriff’s Office, Holsinger was arrested in Marshal, Mo., at a psychiatric facility after he checked himself in. Reportedly, Holsinger had met a second woman via the Internet and had begun a romantic relationship with her. He subsequently allegedly stole over $500 in items from the female and fled the area.

In keeping with the theme of Sunday’s celebration, members and guests are invited to dress in attire of earlier times. They are also invited to submit family histories and letters of church memories to be included in a time capsule which will be put in place at the New Year’s service at the church. The history of the church goes back to 1859 when four men got together and decided to form a Free Will Baptist Church. It was organized in 1861 but construction of a church building was delayed by conditions brought on by the Civil War.

POMEROY — Election Day is just a month away, and Tuesday is the deadline to register to vote in the general election. Boards of Elections in Gallia and Meigs counties will be open extended hours Tuesday to allow those not registered to do so. Meanwhile, voters across Ohio have begun to cast absentee ballots in advance of Election Day, through the state’s no-fault early voting provision. Both elections board offices will be open until 9 p.m. Tuesday to allow voter registration. Voters in Meigs County may also register to vote at a number of locations throughout the community, including the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Department of Job and Family Services, all public libraries, the WIC office and the county treasurer’s office at the courthouse, according to Becky Johnston, deputy director of the Meigs County board. The board began mailing out absentee ballots and accepting absentee applications in office on Tuesday. Voters may cast absentee ballots at the board of elections during regular business hours or request a mail ballot by contacting the board. Nov. 7 is the final day to cast an absentee ballot. Nov. 5 is the last day the board can mail an absentee ballot, and the board offices will be open that day, as See VOTER, A2 RioB Grande business hopes for permitted beer sales A G y mber illenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com RIO GRANDE — “I don’t see why we should have an empty business. Why not make a business thrive again with life in this economy,” Rio Grande Village Mayor Matt Easter said in regard to the upcoming local liquor option that will allow one local business in Rio Grande to sell alcohol. According to Tanya Sheets, co-owner of the Rio Mini-Mart facility located at 100 Ohio 325 in Rio Grande, the site-specific license will allow beer sales at her store — carry-out only and no Sunday sales. “I don’t even really like to have the word ‘liquor’ in there because it’s beer only, carry-out only,” Sheets said. Sheets, along with her husband James Winston Sheets, opened the store 21 years ago and operated a thriving business for 17 years. According to Sheets, a liquor option was placed on the ballot when the business first opened but did not pass. Once again, after approaching the Rio Grande Village Council about this issue in November 2010 and asking for their approval, the Sheets are asking Rio Grande residents to approve the option on the ballot this November. “We wanted everybody’s blessing because we’ve had so many memories in Rio Grande,” Sheets said. “Our kids were raised in Rio Grande, [and] we’ve watched kids grow up. … After 21 years, we’re not going anywhere.” According to Easter, for a business to operate in Rio Grande with a carry-out license is not a new concept.

Oct. 9-15 marks Fire Prevention Week with this years theme, “Protect Your Family From Fire,” which focuses on preventing the leading causes of home fires — cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Through the use of life-saving technologies and planning, it urges people to protect their homes and families. “In 2009, 2,565 people died in home fires. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions like having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan. Also, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed. Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by anticipating the hazards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fires each year,” said W.Va. State Fire Marshall, Sterling Lewis, Jr., in a recent press release. Though the the amount of fire deaths and civilian fire injuries rose by nearly four percent from 2009 to 2010, the National Fire Protection Association reported that the amount of structure fires has seen a significant decrease from 1,098,000 structure fires in 1977, which was when the NFPA implemented its current survey methodology. “We have made tremendous progress in reducing the fire problem in the United States since we began looking at these numbers in the late 70’s,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Communications for NFPA. “But this report shows us that more must be done to bring See FIRE, A2 �Sunday, October 9, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Man Faith He later checked himself into a psychiatric institution where we he was found by investigators. According to Wolf, in addition to the alleged thefts in Jefferson and Franklin Counties, Holsinger may be connected to a third and similar theft case in Saint Louis County, Mo. Holsinger is being charged with a class “C” felony county of theft and will appear at a later date in a circuit court in Jefferson County for a preliminary hearing in relation to the charge. A class “C” felony in Missouri, according to Wolf, can invoke a five to seven year prison sentence. No charges against Holsinger in relation to alleged theft in Franklin County were listed on Franklin County Circuit Court’s docket as of press time. the first lot at the corner of Sixth and Palmer to the church and a 30x50 foot frame structure was built and dedicated to the worship of God on Oct. 28, 1866. Timbers for the belfry, built by members, came from a railroad bridge on Leading Creek. The first church bell was rung for the first time 29 years later on Christmas Day, 1895. The church continued as a Free Will Baptist Church until Nov. 20, 1912 when under the pastorate of Rev. George C. Sprouse, it applied for membership in the Ohio Baptist Convention and the Pomeroy Baptist Association. The first Baptist Church of Middleport was incorporated on May 8, 1916. In June 1917, the congregation voted to erect a new building at the present location and on Oct. 17, 1917 the congregation met for the last time in the old building.

The number of absentee ballots cast prior to Election Day continues to increase now that the state no longer requires a valid reason to request such a ballot. Next month’s general election is largely local in nature, with township trustees and fiscal officers, local school board members, mayors and council members on the ballot. The ballot will also include several local tax issues, including renewal of a onemill levy for the county health department. Three state issues, including a proposal to overturn the controversial S.B. 5, will also be on the ballot. In Meigs County, voters will determine the outcomes of two contested mayor’s races — in Pomeroy and Middleport — and elect members of council in each of the county’s five villages. www.mydailysentinel.com From Page A1 Sales From Page A1 “There is a lot of mixed feelings about this,” Easter said. “What a lot of people fail to realize is: alcohol is already in the village of Rio Grande.

Work on the new building was delayed at times because of World War I, and the finished building (free from debt) was dedicated on July 15, 1923. In 1954 the Permastone facade was place on the church building, and in 1991 a new addition which included the fellowship hall was built. Hanging in the sanctuary is a plaque which lists the names of the young men and women from the congregation who served their country in the Armed Forces of the great wars. Over the years many gifts, some in memory of loved ones, have been given to the church. Included is a beautiful painting of Christ stepping into the Jordan River which was painted by Ross Wiley and given to the church in May 1929. It still hangs in the church sanctuary. A lot of people don’t realize that, so, we’re doing nothing different. We’re just allowing a business to open up.” Additionally, according to Easter, many arguments have been made against the allowance of the sitespecific license within Rio Grande, many of those arguments surround the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College.

If you smoke, smoke outside. Tips to keep your family safe if there is a fire in your home: Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home — including the basement. Interconnect them so that when one sounds, they all sound. Smoke alarms should be tested at least once a month and replaced every 10 years or sooner if they stop working. Consider installing home fire sprinklers if you are building or remodeling your home.

Why are we sending our tax dollars (NFIRS) to determine how often specific fire circumstances occur and where we can most effectively focus our efforts.” The recent report found in 2010 a fire department responded to a fire every 24 seconds and about 85 percent of all fire deaths occurred in the home.

According to Broden, no one may possess alcohol Ask Dr. Brothers anywhere on campus, and alcohol is only served to overage persons on campus during sanctioned school events.

But I am worried about my daughter, who is 50 and recently divorced. She seems to be on a drastic diet and is talking about plastic surgery. She eats so little that I think she may be heading for trouble. She says she wants to stay youthful and have a chance in the dating pool. What in the world am I supposed to do to help NLY!

Dear D.B.: Being supportive at this difficult time in her life will be helpful, and you can let her know that you think she may be going off the deep end. But she probably will not be in the mood to listen to you unless she is beginning to feel some ill effects from dieting, and perhaps not even then. Realize that your daughter has been hit with a double whammy — turning 50 often is a difficult milestone for women, and the fact that she recently divorced probably also has taken its toll on her selfesteem. She probably has been panicking about aging, and no amount of nagging or concern from you is likely to have much effect if she thinks she is at least looking better. You might not be surprised to learn that eating disorders can hit middleage women as well as young girls. In fact, an Australian study recently reviewed by the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Clinic revealed that an obsession to be thin can follow women into later life, or be an entirely new phenomenon as they age. The majority of the middleage and older women in the study said they felt very or moderately fat, and 4 percent fit the criteria for having an eating disorder. So be supportive, but gently let her know that she may be heading for trouble. *** Dear Dr. B ro t h e r s : My daughters are 11 and 12, and I have always let them choose what they wanted to do after school, be it hanging out with friends or just chilling at home. Now I am wondering what they are learning by watching TV in the afternoon — they seem to be obsessed with all the stars they see, most of whom are not particularly worthwhile people, from what I can tell. Is there any harm in having these actresses and other celebrities as teen idols, or am I off base? — A.H. Dear A.H.: There is no particular harm in young people getting caught up in the celebrity culture if they see it for what it is, so a healthy dose of reality is what you need to be serving up to counterbalance the lifestyles of the rich and famous. This means that your girls need to know that these creatures are creations of the media, and that while it is fun to watch their antics on TV, the girls and women they may find fascinating are not people to emulate. Banning TVwatching or badmouthing celebrities probably won’t have much effect on your daughters, but teaching them your own core values and setting up ways for them to lead lives they can be proud of might. A new UCLA study confirms that your daughters are in the mainstream: It found fame to be the leading value emphasized by TV shows that are popular with girls your daughter’s ages. Kindness and helping others, community feeling and tradition dropped dramatically as values projected by the shows in recent years, and have been replaced by fame, popularity, financial success, image and achievement. So you have your work cut out — society has changed, and your daughters will need to develop the kind of interests and lifestyles that will point them in a better direction. Perhaps it’s time to structure their after-school experiences a little differently.

Issue Three about freedom, Tea Party says By Charlene Hoeflich CHOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Terri Blackwood discussed the three statewide issues which will be on the November ballot with emphasis on Issue Three at Tuesday night’ s meeting of the Tea Party held at the Mulberry Community Center. Her emphasis was on Issue Three which is a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution that would free Ohioans from forced insurance. The ballot says the amendment is to “preserve the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care coverage.” She encouraged members to contact registered voters and emphasized that “this is not a partisan issue, but about freedom.” The Tea Party also heard from Brian Duffy, who reaches out of state with his podcasts and blogs who shared concerns over two recent developments in the United States government, one being the formation of a new “Super Congress.” The Super Congress, he said, is a joint committee of 12 members of Congress and Senate, plus the President. Its task is to “identify further spending cuts” and to do so by Thanksgiving. On a handout, Duffy wrote that the Super Congress “places a tremendous amount of power in the hands of 12 people (plus one).” When the group presents its recommendations, Duffy said Congress may not debate or change the recommendation, and the Senate may not filibuster on the issue. Congress may simply give a yes or no vote. “This group is setting a precedent,” Duff said. Congress changed the rules mid-term on how it runs things, and the rules are unconstitutional. He encouraged listeners by holding up a Bible and reminding them that “the last chapter says we win. Be not afraid.” The Meigs County Tea Party meets at 7:30 the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the Mulberry Community Center in Pomeroy.

In taking this step, the Columbus Zoo is launching their plan to host one of the largest non-profit solar energy systems in the nation — perhaps the largest solar zoo installation in the U.S. Third Sun Solar Founder and President Geoff Greenfield is enthusiastic about the importance of this project in demonstrating the progress that Ohio has made in adding solar to the state’s energy mix. “We are excited to team up with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to bring the power of the sun to this world-class institution. Ten years ago, the Zoo hired Third Sun Solar to install a twenty-panel demonstration project; today, we are developing a project that will put thousands of panels in a location that receives 2.3 million visitors annually.” While the design and planning process has already begun, construction won’t occur until 2012. This highprofile project will not only be an on-site power plant, but will serve as an important educational feature and a very visible icon of sustainability for the Zoo and its partners. bachelor’s degree from the University of Rio Grande (URG) in 1983 and obtained her Master’s degree in Classroom Teaching with an emphasis in Learning Disabilities from URG in 1994.

According to newly released Teacher Leader Model Standards, shared leadership in schools is the current model in education, and teacher leadership is the most powerful approach. This requires a shift in the culture of schools and makes newly organized structures and roles in schools necessary to meet the needs of 21st century learners. Teacher leaders must have specific knowledge, skills, and competencies. These include: fostering a collaborative culture to support educator development and student learning; utilizing research to improve practice and student learning; promoting professional learning for continual improvement; facilitating improvements in instruction and student learning; promoting the use of assessments and data for school and district improvement; improving outreach and collaboration with families and community; advocating for student learning and the teaching profession. Teacher leaders can enhance the capacity of the principal and support strategies and behaviors linked to increasing student achievement. Lead teachers are needed to support the new Teacher in Residency Program. These teacher-leaders demonstrate expertise in teaching by meeting the distinguished indicators of the Ohio Educator Standards. They have the skills to work with adult learners, to facilitate and lead change, to manage conflict and to coach and mentor teachers at all stages of their career. Do you have a backyard orchard? Do you have disease and insect problems in the orchard? Reduce their activity next year by improving sanitation around your plants this fall. Extension’s home, yard and garden newsletter suggests that raking up leaves, stems, and fruit will reduce the number of disease spores and insect eggs and adults that overwinter on dead plant material. In particular, apple scab, pear scab and pear leaf spot overwinter on old dead leaves on the ground. Collect and destroy all leaves in the fall, including those from nearby flowering crabapples. Cedar apple rust spores that infect apple trees come from galls produced by the fungus growing on cedars (juniper) especially the native upright red cedar, Juniperus virginiana. Select less susceptible apple varieties (Liberty, Freedom, Sundance, Enterprise, Williams Pride, and Redfree) in our area due the multitude of red cedar found in our countryside. Where red cedars are part of an established landscape, remove and destroy all galls caused by the rust fungus on cedars in the late fall. Inspect the red ce- dars again in the early spring during or just after a rain when the orange, gelatinous fungus growth from any remaining galls is highly visible, and remove them. S t o n e fruits, such as peaches and cherries fruit are susceptible to brown rot fungus in mid July. The spores of the disease overwinter on old mummified (dried out) fruit left hanging on the tree or on the ground droppings. After harvest or in the spring before the buds open, collect and destroy all mummified fruits beneath the trees and any still hanging on the trees. Do the same for any fruits that fall prematurely or show symptoms of brown rot during the season. Never allow rotting fruit to remain on or under the trees. Peach leaf curl, a fungal disease on peaches, is best control with one fungicide spray after leaf drop, but before bud break. For more information on cultural management techniques and spray schedules of home fruit plantings, please refer to OSU Extension Bulletin 780, “Controlling Insects and Diseases in Home Fruit Plantings.” *** Improve your lawn by leaf removal, fertilizing with a high nitrogen fertilizer, and applying the last broadleaf herbicide application or dandelions, creeping Charlie and clovers. It is too late to control annual grasses like crabgrass and barnyard grass. Wait until early spring to apply a preemergent herbicide for their control. Herbicides applied now will cleanup broadleaf perennial weeds that germinated throughout late spring and summer. Match up the weedkiller with the correct weed. Be sure the weather will be frost-free for 2 days before and after application. As long as temperatures are above 45F perennial plants will effectively absorb the herbicide as they prepare for dormancy. Frosted plants will not absorb the herbicides overly well, and it takes a couple of days for plants to recover, even from a light frost. *** Are you interested in commercial grape and wine production?

Extension Corner �Sunday Times-Sentinel Opinion Page A4 Sunday, October 9, 2011 A job is becoming a dim memory for many unemployed B C S. y hristopher Rugaber and Martin Crutsinger AP Economics Writers WASHINGTON (AP) — For more Americans, being out of work has become a semi-permanent condition. Nearly one-third of the unemployed — nearly 4.5 million people — have had no job for a year or more. That’s a record high. Many are older workers who have found it especially hard to find jobs. And economists say their prospects won’t brighten much even after the economy starts to strengthen and hiring picks up. Even if they can find a job, it will likely pay far less than their old ones did. The outlook is unlikely to improve on Friday, when the government issues its monthly jobs report. Economists predict it will show that employers added a net 56,000 jobs in September. That’s far fewer than needed to reduce unemployment. The unemployment rate is expected to remain 9.1 percent for a third straight month. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke last week called long-term unemployment a “national crisis” and said it should be one of Congress’ top priorities. When people are out of work for a year or more, their skills often decline. Their professional networks shrink. Companies hesitate to hire them. The problem feeds on itself. “It’s a serious threat,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “A growing proportion of the labor force is becoming disenfranchised.” Long-term unemployment sets this recession and weak recovery apart from any other period since the Great Depression. Though the economy has endured “jobless recoveries” before, in no previous recovery has such a high proportion of the unemployed been out of work this long. Labor Department figures show that for roughly the past year and a half, one in three of the unemployed have been without a job for at least a year. That’s more than double the previous peak after the 1981-82 recession. Businesses would have to start hiring much faster before a larger proportion of the long-term unemployed would find work. Many employers see them as riskier than other potential hires. Some might need additional training. Companies aren’t likely to take such risks until the economy shows consistent strength. Brian Wedding, a roofing contractor based in Baton Rouge, La., acknowledges that he spends more time evaluating job applicants who have been unemployed for long periods. “A flag’s going to come up, for sure,” says Wedding, CEO of Jasper Contractors, which employs about 800 at nine locations nationwide. “We’ll have to dig a little deeper into what’s going on.” Those who have been out of work for many months describe troubling experiences. Linda Evans, 59, a home health care worker in Washington, D.C., has struggled to find work since her last employer left the area three years ago. She applies for openings online and attends job fairs. But she’s found it difficult even to get interviews. “I don’t know if it’s my age or what,” she said. “I never expected to be in this situation. And I’m scared.” Long-term unemployment affects the economy in key ways: — It lowers skill levels, making it harder to match the unemployed with avail- Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Harry Holzer, a Georgetown University economist, said that once hiring picks up, employers tend to complain that they can’t find people with the new skills they need. Companies are already having trouble filling advanced manufacturing jobs, Holzer said. — More people rely on government benefits. Unemployment benefits were extended during the recession to a record 99 weeks in states with the highest unemployment rates. The number of people receiving food stamps topped 45 million in May. That’s another record. Older workers unable to find jobs often draw their Social Security benefits earlier. Many also have health problems and end up on government disability programs. — The long-term unemployed who do find jobs again will likely do so at lower pay. A study by the Congressional Budget Office found that the long-term unemployed earn, on average, 20 percent less when they finally find work. Still, it’s hard to predict the economic outcome because no one has seen such levels of long-term unemployment before, said Steven Davis, an economist at the University of Chicago. “We’re in uncharted territory,” he said. “Those people are going to have inferior outcomes in earnings and employment well beyond the current weakness in the labor market.” During the recession, the proportion of the unemployed out of work for more than a year rose, as it typically does during a downturn. Yet even as the economy has modestly recovered, the figure has worsened. Several factors help explain why. With the economy still struggling just to grow, unemployment has stayed chronically high. The rate has been 9 percent or higher in every month but two since the recession ended in June 2009. That’s the longest such stretch since World War II. Another factor is the aging of the workforce. The huge generation of 78 million baby boomers is nearing retirement. Though older workers are less likely to lose their jobs, when they do, they typically struggle more to find work again. That’s because older workers frequently have skills specific to their former jobs, which they typically had held for decades. “When they get laid off, those skills are not worth as much to a new employer,” said David Wyss, former chief economist at Standard & Poor’s and a visiting fellow at Brown University. President Barack Obama last month proposed steps to try to aid the long-term unemployed. His proposals include a tax break for companies that hire them and a ban on discriminating against them in hiring. But some economists think more drastic action is needed. Brian Bethune, an economist at Amherst College, favors permanently reducing the Social Security tax, a portion of which employers must pay for each of their workers. Bethune would replace it with a sales tax. “If you want to attack (the problem), you have to do something dramatic,” he said. “It cries out for some fairly significant change.” Letters to The Editor A helping hand Dear Editor, Today my aunt and I visited Gallia County searching for old cemeteries where our ancestors are buried. We ended up having to ask for help from many people we across during our search. To the person, they out of their way to help us locate cemeteries we were looking for there. What kind, helpful and friendly people live in Gallia County! Thanks to all of you for helping two “old ladies” find their ancestors. Most sincerely, Joyce Gerhardt and Maxine Winkhart Dayton, Ohio Motorist recognized for kind actions Dear Editor, Meigs County has lots of caring people and one of them is Paul Morrison. Over the summer, I cut my arm with broken glass from a storm door and was losing a large amount of blood. I flagged down a motorist who was Paul and asked if he would tie a belt on my forearm to reduce the flow of blood. He was more than willing to help in anyway he could. He called my sister and also the squad. He wouldn’t leave until help arrived. I’m thankful for his help in my time of need. Once again, thanks. Linda Marie Rapp Racine, Ohio Advocating for older foster parenting Dear Editor, I’m writing this letter to you to gather attention for a subject that is particularly close to my heart. I have recently learned that in order to become a foster parent, you have to be less than 65 years of age. I find this age limit a bit unfair to older men and women, like myself. I am interested in becoming a foster parent myself but with this age restriction, I may not be able to do so. I personally believe that there is nothing wrong with older men and women who want to be foster parents, if certain circumstances allow. Retirement age isn’t even 65 years old, so we are still forced to work until we meet retirement age. Even if you look in the school system, there are older teachers and aides that instruct and help look after children. It’s becoming a popular trend for more and more women to wait until later in life to have children. Due to their lifestyle, career or personal opinion, women find many reasons to wait until later in their lives to becomes mothers. Not only is this trend popular for women, but men are also waiting until later in life for marriage and children. With parents often working and often not being able to have proper child care for their children, many grandparents and older relatives are looking after their children. It’s also a popular trend that grandparents and older relatives are raising their grandchildren or children related to them for many reasons. The advantage of older foster parents, like I would like to become, are able to stay home more with the children, don’t have to worry about working and child care. We are able to be more attentive to the needs of a child rather than other individuals. We are less likely to hold a busy lifestyle than younger foster parents. Being older doesn’t mean that we are less qualified. Many politicians and even some presidents have been well over 65 years old and they are the ones running our country. If they are capable of that responsibility, they why can’t people over 65 become foster parents? Many of us have raised a family ourselves and even our grandchildren. To be able to make a difference in a child’s life and provide them with things that they may not have otherwise had, would mean the world to people like us. I appreciate you taking your time to read this letter and if you wish to publish it, it would mean a lot to me. If you agree with this letter, or think that this law should be changed please contact your local and state representatives. Louise Waybright Parsons, W.Va. A fall legislative update By Rep. John Carey COLUMBUS — With the House of Representatives back in session, we have recently dealt with topics such as congressional redistricting and other headline-grabbing issues, but there are many other bills being considered that do not garner that much attention. Regardless, I thought I would share some of them with you. House Bill 218, sponsored by Representative Jay Hottinger, updates Ohio law to match current federal guidelines concerning off-label drug use. Off-label drug use means that the drug is used for a different medical condition or given in a different way than than which the original purpose of the drug was developed. The House concurred with Senate amendments and the legislation is now headed to Governor Kasich for his signature. House Bill 97, presented by Representative Rich- ard Hollington, gives state employees increased opportunity to participate in health savings accounts. It also saves the state money and benefits the employee in certain circumstances. Meanwhile, another piece of legislation, sponsored by Representative Cheryl Grossman, helps to streamline adoptions of children by legal guardians. Adoption is a policy that Ohio as a state, as well as the federal government, promotes. These bills both passed the House overwhelmingly with bi-partisan support and now are moving to the Senate for further consideration. Senate Bill 101, sponsored by Senator Tom Patton, designates May as Substance Abuse Awareness Month. This bill also passed the House with bi-partisan support and is headed to the governor for his signature. We certainly do not need a designated month to understand how bad the problem of substance abuse is in our area and state. We are starting to see some results from House Bill 93, which is designed to shut down pill mills and more closely monitor prescription drugs. This is a crisis that is taking more and more attention to address. I am working with my colleagues and local officials to continue to fight this disease. It has hit almost every family, whether it is from relatives with addiction or those who are victims of crime. I wanted to let you know that, while you may hear rancor and discord on television, there are many instances that legislators are able to come together from both sides of the aisle. In Columbus, we have passed a balanced budget and we are continuing to work together on many issues like those I mentioned above. Rep. Carey may be reached by calling (614) 466-1366, e-mailing District87@ohr.state.oh.us, or writing to State Rep.

After almost four years of futility in the friendly confines, the Hannan football team snapped a 17-game losing skid at home Friday night with a chester in a Week 7 non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Wildcats (2-4) made the most of their 2011 Homecoming contest, outgaining the winless Greyhounds (0-7) by a whopping 339-188 margin in total offense, which included a sizable 215-141 advantage in rush- 12 edge in first downs and scored the only points of the night off of takeaways, despite finishing minus-3 in turnover differential. More impressively, the Wildcats — who committed five first-half turnovers — played turnover-free See ROAR, B2 Marauders fall to Nelsonville-York, 41-14 By Dave Harris Sports Correspondent POMEROY, Ohio — Nelsonville-York broke open a close game late in the third period, and went on to defeat Meigs 41-14 in a TVC Ohio Division contest Friday Night at Bob Roberts Field in Pomeroy. The final score is no indication of how close the game was, it was a two touchdown contest with 4:34 left in the contest, but two late scores allowed the Buckeyes the 27 point difference in the end. For the most part the Marauder defense held the Buckeyes outstanding running back Dustin Young down. Young finished with 152 yards, but 116 yards of that came in the decisive fourth period, including 65 on one play. The Marauders kicked off to begin the contest, but Garrison Breeze couldn’t find the handle and Meigs recovered at the Buckeye 27. Meigs lost 13 yards however during the series and punted the ball away. The Marauders received another big play when Young fumbled and Jeffrey Roush recovered for Meigs at the Buckeye 30. Sis plays later Roush scored from 11 yards out, Charlie Barrett added the extra points and Meigs held the early 7-0 lead with 49 seconds left on the first period clock. Nelsonville-York took the kickoff and put together a 10 play 60 yard drive with Young scoring from two yards out. Nathan Dean added the extra points and the Buckeyes had tied the contest at 7-all with 7:46 left in the half. The Buckeyes drove to the Marauder four yard line with three minutes to go in the half, but Young was stopped a yard short by the Marauder defense on fourth and two at the Marauder three yard line. The Buckeyes took the lead for good with 5:07 remaining in the third period when Daniel Kline pulled in a 15 yard pass from Dean; Dean’s extra points made it a 14-7 contest. The big play in the drive was a 35 yard Dave Harris/photo Meigs’ Charlie Barrett carries the ball during Friday’s game against Nelsonville-York at Bob Roberts Field in Pomeroy, Ohio. scamper by Clint Handa to the Marauder 15. The Marauders then fumbled the kickoff with Jacob Blake recovering for the Buckeyes at the Marauder 16. Three plays later Austin North scored from two yards out. Kick was no good and the Buckeyes held a 20-7 lead with 3:56 left in the third period. The Buckeye defense held the Marauders on fourth down at their own 35 yard line, on first down Young raced down the left sideline 65 yards for a score. Dean hit Kline for the extra points and the Buckeyes were on top 28-7 with 6:47 left in the game. But the Marauders refused to quit on first down Roush raced 58 yards to the Buckeye eight. Four plays later Boyer hooked up with Alex Morris for the score from three yards out. Barrett pulled the Marauders to within 28-14 with 4:34 left in the game. Meigs went with the onside kick and Breeze recovered for the Buckeyes. Jacob Perkins scored from three yards out with 2:22 left to make it 35-14. The Buckeyes scored one last time with 1:34 left when Dakota Hook picked off a pass and returned it 26 yards for the score, Dean added the extra points to make it the 41-14 final. “The kids really gave great effort,” a disappointed Mike Chancey said after the contest. “We got beat by a good football team, but I can’t be any prouder of these kids, we hate to lose, but we have three weeks left See FALL, B2 BELPRE, Ohio —A different day, a different location, same result. The South Gallia football team extended its winning streak to four games on Friday night with a 62-7 victory at Ralph Holder Stadium in Belpre, Ohio. The 62 points scored by South Gallia was their highest point total since the turn of the millennium, and the 55 point deferential is the largest margin of victory this season for the Rebels. The Rebels — currently ranked third in the Division IV, Region 23 standings — are now 6-1 on the year and 4-1 in TVC Hocking play, while Belpre falls to 0-7 this season. South Gallia wasted little time putting points on the board in Friday’s game, taking a 7-0 lead just 66 seconds into the game. Cory Haner ran in from 32 yards out for the opening score and added the extra point kick. Ethan Spurlock added a 12 yard touchdown run at the 5:58 mark of the first quarter, with Jacob White scoring on a 15 yard run near the end of the opening period. South Gallia led 21-0 after the first quarter. The Rebels added three more scores in the second quarter for the 43-0 halftime lead. Austin Phillips took the ball 48 yards for the first score of the quarter, with Jacob White adding the two-point conversion run. At the 5:58 mark of the second, Haner connected with Josh Cooper for a 40 yard touchdown pass. Haner added the two-point conversion run to give SGHS the 37-0 lead. Just 29 seconds later, Haner picked off the Belpre pass, taking it 20 yards for the touchdown. The kick was blocked, giving the Rebels the 43-0 halftime lead. It was more of the same in the second half, with Spurlock adding his second touchdown run (25 yards) of the game at the 8:23 mark of the third quarter. Devin Lucas provided the first South Gallia touchdown of the fourth quarter on a 14 yard run, while Spurlock added a 54 yard touchdown run at the 8:39 mark. Belpre put its only points on the board at the 4:10 mark of the fourth quarter, with Manny Tullius hitting Todd Packard for the six See REBEL, B2 �Sunday, October 9, 2011 Devils From Page B1 on the board early to take a 13-7 edge into the intermission. The Blue Devils didn’t allow another point after the break, and the offense put another score on the board with 10 minutes left in regulation to seal the deal on the program’s first win at CHS since the turn of the millennium. Gallia Academy went right to work on its opening drive of Roar From Page B1 football in the second half, which allowed the hosts to rally back from a narrow 7-6 halftime deficit. HHS also went 4-for-5 on fourth down conversions and didn’t have a single punt in the triumph. For a team that hadn’t played at home since the last week of August, Hannan coach Keith Taylor sure was glad to see some familiar faces in the stands. He also enjoyed seeing a lot of smiles afterwards. “These guys really stepped it up this week and I just cannot say enough about these kids right now,” Taylor said. “This is a really good night for all of us, rather it be the kids, the coaches or the community. This one, and I think everyone would agree, feels good.” Both teams played to a scoreless draw in the first quarter, but the Wildcats struck first blood early in the second canto when Jacob Taylor hauled in an 89-yard scoring pass from Tyler Jenkins for a 6-0 advantage with 11:19 remain- FALL Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis the game, marching 14 plays to paydirt for an early 7-0 lead after Brandon Taylor scored from a yard out with 4:08 left in the first. The Cavs, however, quickly retaliated with a 3-play, 67-yard drive that resulted in a seven-all contest with 2:51 remaining in the opening period. Zach Johnson hauled in a 35-yard pass from Ryan Mathis to knot the game up at seven. The Blue Devils bounced right back, as Taylor scampered 42 yards to paydirt on the ensuing possession — allowing the guests ing in the half. Taylor came down with the jump ball at midfield, then shook off two defenders on his way to the endzone — capping a 1-play, 89-yard drive that lasted just 31 seconds. Manchester, however, quickly retaliated with a 6-play, 59-yard scoring drive of its own. Dalton West plunged in from 10 yards out on 2nd-and-goal at the 8:33 mark, which wrapped up a 1:40 drive for a slim 7-6 edge. Despite being plus-4 at the break, Manchester was outgained 187-113 in total yards in the first half. Both teams had seven first downs at halftime. Hannan went right to work with its opening possession of the second half, marching 44 yards in 11 plays while eating up 4:19 of clock. Jacob Taylor capped that drive on a four-yard scoring run with 7:30 remaining in the third quarter, allowing the hosts to take a 14-7 lead — and the Greyhounds would not come closer the rest of the night. MHS had a 12-play drive stall out at the Hannan 14, where the ‘Cats took over possession with From Page B1 with this group and we are going to get back to work in the morning for next week.” Young led the Buckeyes with 152 yards in 19 carries, Dean despite being under heavy pressure from the Meigs defense all night was 15 of 26 in the air for 199 yards. Kyle Freer caught five for 79 and Daniel Kline four for 58. Roush led the Marauders with 85 yards in 16 carries; Barrett added 46 in 11 tries. Dillon Boyer was five on nine in the air for 60 yards and two interceptions. Boyer caught five for 57 and Morris added his touchdown grab of three.

The Wildcats put together a remarkable 17-play, 86-yard drive that lasted 8:44, and that drive turned to fruition at the 5:10 mark of the fourth when Tyler Jenkins plunged in from seven yards out — giving the hosts their biggest lead of the night at 20-7. Manchester responded with a quick 4-play, 40yard scoring drive to pull back to within a possession, as Travis Combs hauled in a 15-yard scoring pass from Dalton Walters for a 20-14 contest with 3:51 remaining in regulation. Instead of going for the onside kick, MHS elected to kick it deep and play the field position game. After Hannan’s ensuing drive stalled at the Manchester 42, the guests took over possession with 2:09 remaining in the contest. However, on the third play of that MHS drive, James Brumfield recovered a fumble at the MHS 28 with 1:54 left in regulation — giving the hosts the ball with a lead.

Deer checking questions answered During my recent hunter education course a question came up concerning the checking of deer. It was noted that deer must be permanently tagged by 11:30 p.m. on the date of harvest, but the question was what if the hunter does not find the deer until the next day? What time do you report? Do you report the time you shot the deer or the time you physically recovered it? As stated before, deer must be checked in via telephone or internet by 11:30 p.m. on the day they are killed. However it frequently happens that evening Need to advertise? Call The Daily Sentinel 740.992.2155 archery hunters are unable recover their kills until the next day. In that case, according to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the hunter should report the harvest on the day they temporarily tag the animal, and then complete the automated game checkprocess and permanent tagging process by 11:30 pm on that day, the day they actually found and tagged the deer. So how about for deer shot on the last day of the season and not found until the following day, after the season is closed? The answer to that question, according to the ODNRDivision of Wildlife, is in that unlikely event hunters who have not been able to recover a deer taken on the last day of a season should inform their county wildlife officer or wildlife district office. The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District and the Leading Creek Watershed Group are holding their annual tour of the Leading Creek Watershed on Saturday, Oct. 22 Participants will meet at the Meigs SWCD office at 10 a.m. and head out from there to various sites including the Thomas Fork Doser Project and the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area. Van space is limited, so give Raina Fulks a call at 992-4282 weekdays to make reservations. The tour is free and lunch will be provided. The Thomas Fork Doser Project is located on Bailey Run Road near State Route 143 and when completed later this year will “dose” an unnamed tributary of Thomas Fork with lime dust to help address acidmine drainage there. Lime dosers are currently being used in several acid-mine streams in southeastern Ohio and are used in other states as well. Thomas Fork from the “unnamed trib” downstream to Leading Creek in Middleport is essentially a “dead” stream with very little aquatic life. The hope is that fish and aquatic mac- roinvertebrates (i.e. bugs) will be able to return the stream. The Thomas Fork subwatershed of Leading Creek consists of approximately 50 square miles and drains land from the Five Points, Rock Springs, Laurel Cliff and Bradbury areas. It also consists of Ball Run, Hysell Run and Bailey Run creeks and numerous unnamed tributaries and seeps, many of which are affected by acid-mine drainage. The inaugural Howl-OWeen 5K Trail Run/Walk will be held Saturday, October 29 at 10 a.m. at the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area. This fun, pet-friendly Halloween-themed event will showcase the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area, which is located on New Lima Road between Rutland and Harrisonville. Medals will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in running and walking divisions and ribbons will go to top three males and females in age group divisions. An additional medal, the “Top Dawg” award will go to the fastest human/canine team. Proceeds will benefit the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area. For more information or to register contact the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District at 740992-4282 weekdays from 7-4:30 p.m. or visit www. meigsswcd.com and download a registration form. Registration is $15 in advance or $20 the day of the race. Race-day registration and packet pick-up will begin at 9 a.m. at the picnic shelter with the event to begin at 10 a.m. Free kids’ races will begin following the 5K race, followed immediately by the presentation of awards.

(AP) — West Virginia first-year coach Dana Holgorsen only has to look at the tape of last year’s game to realize no rousing speeches will be necessary before the Mountaineers play Connecticut on Saturday. The turnover-filled overtime loss ended the Mountaineers’ BCS hopes, and reliving the pain was all the nudging the players needed this time around. “Without having to use a bunch of motivational tactics this week, our guys realize that the game last year against UConn didn’t end up the way that they wanted it to,” Holgorsen said. Heading into their Big East opener, things are different for No. 16 West Virginia (4-1) and Connecticut (2-3) since the last meeting. West Virginia is outscoring opponents nearly 2-1 and the Mountaineers are keeping the mistakes to a minimum. The Huskies are a year removed from their Fiesta Bowl appearance but lost to non-BCS school Western Michigan last week under first-year coach Paul Pasqualoni. West Virginia lost four of seven fumbles and scored one touchdown in last year’s 16-13 setback to Connecticut. One of those fumbles came on the 1-yard line in overtime. UConn then kicked a field goal to win the game. Quarterback Geno Smith was among the guilty parties, losing a fourth-quarter fumble that led to a tying touchdown. “We had them, but we let it slip out of our hands,” Smith said. “Any loss is tough to deal with. We want to get out on the field and prove ourselves once again.” Beating West Virginia began a five-game winning streak that allowed UConn to capture the conference title, and quarterback Johnny McEntee is counting on another turnaround this year. “We know last year we were 3-4 and people were talking how they are now, that we’re not going to make a bowl,” McEntee said. “And when we beat West Virginia, we turned it around. So we all know that and nobody’s given up on the season. We know we could still win the Big East.” To do that, McEntee will have to have a big role. The walk-on who had played in two games over the past two years outdueled two others to become UConn’s starter four games into the season. In last week’s 38-31 loss to Western Michigan, McEntee completed 22 of 39 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. But a defense that returned nine starters allowed Western Michigan’s Alex Carder to throw for 479 yards and five scores. “We will certainly try as best we can to tighten up our coverage this week and hopefully do a better job of rushing the passer,” Pasqualoni said.

Until that point the Mountaineers had averaged 75 yards as a team. Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis “West Virginia’s ability to run the ball, West Virginia’s ability to throw the ball, they have you spread out across the field,” Pasqualoni said. “It just makes it really, really hard. It’s just a huge challenge.” UConn will again be without cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson, who injured a knee two weeks ago against Buffalo. That leaves the Huskies even more susceptible against Smith, who’s throw- ing for 342 yards per game, and a trio of receivers each averaging at least five catches. Besides Garrison, the game will feature another one of the Big East’s up-and-coming rushers. Freshman Lyle McCombs has three 100-yard games for Connecticut and has scored five touchdowns. He’ll go up against a West Virginia defense allowing a league-worst average of 127 yards on the ground. Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B6 Pasqualoni went 8-6 against West Virginia as Syracuse’s coach from 1991-2004, including a 3-2 mark in Morgantown. “It is an intense place to play,” he said. “There’s no question about that.” But a sellout isn’t guaranteed, something that irked Holgorsen last week when there were at least 16,000 empty seats in the cold and rain against Bowling Green. So Holgorsen called out the fans to fix it. “Whatever our expectations are with our players as far as preparing every week and going to the game and playing our best, I highly encourage our students and our support to take the same approach,” he said. “You only get seven opportunities a year.” ___ Associated Press writer Pat Eaton-Robb in Storrs, Conn., contributed to this report. Superstar Soccer Classic a success for all By Randy Payton Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio – For one night, it truly was “the beautiful game”. The University of Rio Grande men’s and women’s soccer teams hosted the Gallipolis Developmental Center for the 1st Annual Superstar Soccer Classic, Thursday night, at Evan E. Davis Field. More than 20 residents from the center, which houses nearly 200 developmentally disabled adults from an 11-county area in southeastern Ohio, joined forces with the URG soccer programs for two, 20-minute halves of action under the lights on the home pitch of the RedStorm. The groups were evenly divided into two teams – the RedStorm and the Golden Eagles – and all participants received t-shirts with the logo representing their team. For the record, the RedStorm held on for a 7-6 win in a game that came down to the final possession. But for the event’s organizers and participants, everyone went home a winner. “It was great,” said Mike Fitch, the superintendent of the GDC. “This is something that our individuals would have never had the opportunity to do and we really appreciate Rio Grande for inviting us out. We had a great time. It was unbelievable.” Rio Grande men’s soccer assistant coach Tony Daniels and Matt Easter, the mayor of Rio Grande and a 19-year employee at the GDC, collaborated on organizing the game and both were pleased with how things turned out. “I think there are a couple of things we can work on toward next year but, overall, I thought it was great,” Daniels said. “The primary thing is both the GDC and the kids from our university had a great time. I want to see more people come out next year, via the school, to support it because it’s a great cause. We all need to stand behind our county and what we’re trying to do here.” “I just want to thank the administration at the university for everything they did. It’s great to have an administration that’s openminded enough to try something like this,” said Easter. “I was a little nervous about it because you never know what you’re stepping into, but to see it go off without a hitch was top-notch.” Daniels said he was particularly proud of the student-athletes who participated, pointing to the event as a perfect example of what the NAIA’s “Champions of Character” initiative is all about. “For a lot of my guys, especially the ones internationally-based, this was good for them,” he said. “There are special needs people all across the world and to see them giving back, just like the kids we have here from the United States, was great to see.” One of those internationally-based players, sophomore forward Orlando Zapata (Medellin, Columbia), understood the importance of the players’ participation. “If we have the ability, we have the responsibility,” Zapata said. Fitch and Easter are both excited about the prospect of making the event bigger and better come 2012. “It turned out even better than we imagined and it’s something we’d love to do every year,” Fitch said. “Our individuals were as happy as they could be. They’ve never had the chance to do anything like this before. It was a great success.” “I’m just so thankful to the players who were out here tonight,” said Easter. “They allowed the clients to be the stars and that was absolutely fantastic. I’m so grateful to every one of them. They all need a pat on the back. We learned a lot about how to make it better next year. Still, we had two buses from the GDC here and some folks from the community came out to watch. This night is going to be the subject of a lot of conversations for our residents for a long, long time.” Rio Grande concludes Fall Basketball Academy By Randy Payton Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio – For one night, it truly was “the beautiful game”.

But for the event’s organizers and participants, everyone went home a winner. “It was great,” said Mike Fitch, the superintendent of the GDC. “This is something that our individuals would have never had the opportunity to do and we really appreciate Rio Grande for inviting us out. We had a great time. It was unbelievable.” Rio Grande men’s soccer assistant coach Tony Daniels and Matt Easter, the mayor of Rio Grande and a 19-year employee at the GDC, collaborated on organizing the game and both were pleased with how things turned out. Police: Ohio player pricked opponents in handshake GREENFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Police in southern Ohio say a high school football player pricked players from the opposing team with something sharp in a postgame player handshake. The visiting team from the Washington Court House high school had just won a game Friday when police say the suspect stuck 27 McClain High School players with what was most likely a tack. The players received tetanus shots and were to have blood tests. The Washington Court House Record Herald reports that Greenfield police say the 16-year-old suspect was ineligible to play but was on the sidelines during the game. Police say the Highland County prosecutor will decide if charges are warranted. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Washington High School’s principal says he has handled the situation but cannot provide details due to student confidentiality. “I think there are a couple of things we can work on toward next year but, overall, I thought it was great,” Daniels said. “The primary thing is both the GDC and the kids from our university had a great time. I want to see more people come out next year, via the school, to support it because it’s a great cause. We all need to stand behind our county and what we’re trying to do here.” “I just want to thank the administration at the university for everything they did. It’s great to have an administration that’s open-minded enough to try something like this,” said Easter. “I was a little nervous about it because you never know what you’re stepping into, but to see it go off without a hitch was top-notch.” Daniels said he was particularly proud of the student-athletes who participated, pointing to the event as a perfect example of what the NAIA’s “Champions of Character” initiative is all about. “For a lot of my guys, especially the ones internationallybased, this was good for them,” he said. “There are special needs people all across the world and to see them giving back, just like the kids we have here from the United States, was great to see.” One of those internationallybased players, sophomore forward Orlando Zapata (Medellin, Columbia), understood the importance of the players’ participation. “If we have the ability, we have the responsibility,” Zapata said. Fitch and Easter are both excited about the prospect of making the event bigger and better come 2012. “It turned out even better than we imagined and it’s something we’d love to do every year,” Fitch said. “Our individuals were as happy as they could be. They’ve never had the chance to do anything like this before. It was a great success.” “I’m just so thankful to the players who were out here tonight,” said Easter. “They allowed the clients to be the stars and that was absolutely fantastic. I’m so grateful to every one of them. They all need a pat on the back. We learned a lot about how to make it better next year. Still, we had two buses from the GDC here and some folks from the community came out to watch. This night is going to be the subject of a lot of conversations for our residents for a long, long time.” Steelers’ injuries keep piling up PITTSBURGH (AP) — Counting the preseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have used nine different combinations of starting offensive linemen in nine games this season. They’re also facing the possibility of being without their two most prominent running backs for their next game on Sunday. Pittsburgh’s All Pro outside linebacker and five-time Pro Bowl nose tackle certainly won’t play. The Steelers’ former Pro Bowl defensive end, starting left guard and upand-coming second-year linebacker? Out, out and out. Oh, and then there’s star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. At least he will play — albeit while hobbled on a sprained left foot that had him walking in a boot earlier in the week. Things have become so bad that a player who was signed Tuesday, Max Starks, will apparently start at left tackle against the Tennessee Titans (3-1) on Sunday. Other than that, all is well on the injury front for a team that went to the Super Bowl last season but is reeling at 2-2. “This is professional football; you know injuries will happen,” said Lawrence Timmons, who was moved from inside linebacker to the outside because of the broken orbital bone of All Pro James Harrison. “Coach Tomlin always tells us, ‘The standard is the standard,’ and if you look at our team the past few years, even when we went to the Super Bowl, that’s been the case. No reason it can’t be the case this year, too.” Yes, Pittsburgh did have its share of injuries during the Super Bowlwinning seasons of 2005 and 2008, and again last season when it lost to Green Bay in the Super Bowl. But nothing like this. Start with Starks, the former starter who was released by the team when the lockout ended after spending the offseason rehabbing from a neck injury that knocked him out of the final nine regular-season games and the playoffs last season. He was re-signed on Tuesday — and all indications are he will start Sunday. “A game vs. practice, of course it’s a little different, a little more energy,” Starks said. “So, we’re going to monitor (the snaps) as the game goes on. We may do some things just to make sure I’m fully acclimated and not being thrown completely into the fire.” This marks the second consecutive game the Steelers will start a left tackle who formerly played for them but was out of football with no other team signing them throughout the entire time the Steelers were in Latrobe, Pa., for training camp. Trai Essex, signed in late August, started last week when the Steelers could not establish a consistent running game and allowed Roethlisberger to be sacked five times in a 17-10 loss at Houston. Roethlisberger was injured late in that game, but he practiced fully Thursday and Friday and will start Sunday. Bowyer joins 3-car team at Michael Waltrip Racing KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Clint Bowyer was in a strange predicament a couple months ago. The veteran driver already had lined up sponsorship for next season, no easy task in a sluggish economy, but he couldn’t seem to work out an agreement to remain with Richard Childress Racing. So, Bowyer looked elsewhere and took his sponsorship right along with him. On Friday, Michael Waltrip Racing announced that it had signed Bowyer to a three-year deal to drive the No. 15 Toyota next season. The sponsor, 5-hour ENERGY, will come on board for 24 races beginning with the Daytona 500, leaving the team with a dozen sponsorship dates left to fill. “I see their performance improving week-in and week-out. I had to work my butt off to make sure I was on top of them,” Bowyer said of his new team during a news conference at Kansas Speedway. “I see this as a wonderful opportunity for me to prove myself.” Bowyer’s contract with RCR will quietly expire after a moderately successful six-year run that included four wins and three Chase appearances. Bowyer said he took his potential sponsor to Childress a few months ago but could never get an assurance about his status for next season. “It’s a shame. I owe a great deal to Richard,” Bowyer said. “I’ve never been in a situation where I had a sponsor that came to me and said, ‘We would like to have you. You’re the asset.’ So I felt a responsibility to go to an organization where I can build a brand.” That wound up being Michael Waltrip Racing, where Bowyer will join a team, featuring David Reutimann and Martin Truex Jr., that has never qualified for the Chase. “It was the No. 1 thing on our radar screen at the start of this year. We felt we had built our organization to where we felt we could contend for Chase spots,” Waltrip said. “Having guys like David and Martin and Clint, we’re poised. We’re on the brink of that.” News of the deal began leak- ing out last weekend at Dover, but Bowyer wanted to wait until the Cup series came to Kansas Speedway to make a formal announcement. The native of Emporia, Kan., considers the 1-mile trioval to be his home track. Bowyer still holds several records at nearby Lakeside Speedway from his dirt-track days, and the location allowed many of his friends and family to attend the announcement. Scott Miller, RCR’s director of competition since 2003, also will be joining Waltrip’s team. “We now believe we’re structured exactly how we want to be,” Waltrip said. “We’re bringing a guy in Scott Miller aboard who has guided teams to the Chase and competed for championships.” Waltrip’s team still has plenty of ground to cover before that happens. Since expanding to a full-time operation in 200, the team has just two wins, and the closest it has come to qualifying for the Chase was Reutimann’s 16th-place finish in 2009. Reutimann has struggled much of the season, running second at Kentucky but netting one other top-10 finish. “We’re adding cars and sponsors, and a lot of teams haven’t been as fortunate,” Reutimann said. “It should help on the competition side, and it never hurts to have teammates out there.” 60251553 �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel C1 Sunday, October 9, 2011 By Brian J. Reed BReed@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — The 1950’s and ‘60’s were busy times in Pomeroy, and the photographic archive left behind by one of the community’s most prominent men has preserved those days for 21st century history students. Judge John Bacon presided over Meigs County’s Common Pleas Court for years, but he was also known as a talented photographer. He pursued his hobby passionately, even operating a darkroom from his third-floor courthouse chambers. His photos show streets filled with shoppers, landmarks under construction, floods and other developments, but they also capture a way of life that many now consider gone forever. Those were the days when one could be a complete suit of clothing in downtown Pomeroy, stop at one of several restaurants, buy hardware and shoes and even catch a bus out of town from the Court Street station. Bacon was at the construction site at Veterans Memorial Hospital in the early 1960’s, as construction workers dug footers, laid block and built the hospital that will eventually be torn down. His photos also include many of local businesses, few still operating, and the familiar faces of people living their everyday lives. The collection is now the property of Bob Graham, himself a photographer preserving history in our own day. Who were they? What were they laughing about? This boat man seemed happy to visit with two young ladies on the Pomeroy riverfront. Originally a Dairy Queen, the Dairy Valley, known by all as “Adolph’s,” remained a Pomeroy staple until construction began on the Bridge of Honor. It was demolished to allow construction of the bridge approach. Workers lay block at the hospital construction site. Mid-century life in Pomeroy is reflected in this photo from the collection of Judge John Bacon, now owned by Bob Graham. Veterans Memorial Hospital, first named Meigs Memorial, was under construction and under roof when Judge John Bacon took this early 1960’s shot. �Sunday, October 9, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Heads up on concussion prevention and assessment By Dr. Kelly Roush Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician/ Certified Athletic Trainer, Director of Sports Medicine Services at Holzer Clinic What is a concussion? A concussion is a brain injury which results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. Approximately 140,000 high school athletes suffer a concussion in the US each year. Concussions occur most often in football but can occur in any sport and are also common in soccer, wrestling and basketball. The athlete may complain of headache, nausea, balance problems or dizziness, sensitivity to light, feel overly fatigued/ tired, have trouble concentrating, be more easily confused, complain of blurred or double vision, have ringing in the ears. Athletes, however may not always tell you if they are experiencing these symptoms for fear of being removed from participation. Therefore it is important to observe all athletes for the following signs: the athlete appears dazed or stunned, forgets plays, appears unsteady, is slow to answer questions or appears more confused than normal when answering questions, loses consciousness, shows irrational behavior or has personality change, can’t recall events prior to or after taking a hit to the head or jolt to the body, has a drop in grades suddenly or has a lack of concentration. As a Spine and Sports Specialist, I recognize the danger of concussion as I have evaluated numerous concussed athletes both on the field and in my office. Concussion is a hot topic in the media right now and I often get asked the following questions:Is it safe to play contact sports and what can we do to prevent a serious head/neck injury? Sustaining one concussion is not typically the area of concern. It is the accumulative effect of repetitive blows that you need to be concerned about. The best thing you can do is to be educated on the signs/ symptoms so that you are aware when an injury has occurred and the most important thing is making sure that the athlete does not return to participation until the brain has had time to heal. Make sure that the athlete is in good physical shape through proper conditioning and works on neck strengthening. As an athlete fatigues, they start dropping their head when hitting and this makes them more prone to injury. Make sure that the athlete uses proper technique, that their protective equipment fits properly and do not give any athlete aspirin products when they are participating in sports as it makes them more prone to have a brain bleed if they do sustain a concussion. Why is it so important that an athlete not return to play until they have completely recovered from a concussion? Athletes who are not fully recovered from an initial concussion are significantly vulnerable for recurrent, cumulative, and are more susceptible to a life -threatening condition called second impact syndrome. Such difficulties can possibly be prevented if the athlete is allowed time to recover from the initial concussion.If the CAT scan or MRI is normal, does that mean that the athlete did not have a concussion? No. A CT scan and/or MRI is helpful in identifying life-threatening brain injuries (skull fractures, bleeding, swelling on the Submitted photo A concussion is a brain injury which results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function.

He gets those moments in life, those ordinary and Malin Rising periods of change.” Associated Press Transtromer (TRAWN- STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Nobel Prize in literature was awarded Thursday to a psychologist who used his spare time to craft sparsely written poems about the mysteries of everyday life — commuting to work, watching the sun rise or waiting for nightfall. Tomas Transtromer, Sweden’s most famous poet, had been a favorite for the prize for so many years that even his countrymen had started to doubt whether he would ever win. Now 80 and retired from writing, he finally got the call as he sat down to watch the prize announcement on TV. Asked how it felt to be the first Swede in four decades to win the literature prize, he told reporters: “Very good.” He gave mostly one-syllable answers to questions, the result of a stroke more than two decades ago that left him partially paralyzed and largely unable to speak. His wife, Monica, filled in the details. “It was a very big surprise,” she said. “Tomas, I know you were surprised. Despite the speculation for so many years, you haven’t really taken it seriously.” Most of all, she said, Transtromer was pleased to see the prize go to poetry for the first time since Wislawa Szymborska of Poland won in 1996. Transtromer’s surrealistic works are characterized by powerful imagery that explores the mysteries of the human mind. His poems are often built around his own experiences and infused with his love of music and nature. He also writes about history, existential questions and death. “His poems have a kind of stark, piercing inwardness that’s very striking,” said Robert Hass, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who edited Transtromer’s “Selected Poems.” “There are lots of poems written about driving back and forth to work, poems about dawn, poems about stroh-mur) has long been recognized as the most influential Scandinavian poet of the post-World War II era. His work has been translated into more than 50 languages. But many thought his nationality stood in the way of receiving the prestigious, $1.5 million Nobel from the Swedish Academy, which has often been accused of bias in favor of literature from mainland Europe. Seven of the last 10 winners have been mainland Europeans. “The Swedish modesty, or the Swedish fear of being Swedish, has postponed Transtromer’s award by at least 10 years,” Swedish poet Bob Hansson wrote on his blog after the announcement. The last Swedes to win the literature prize were Eyvind Johnson and Harry Martinson, who shared it in 1974. Peter Englund, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, acknowledged that the group is especially cautious about recognizing Swedish writers out of concern that doing so might suggest the members favor their own countrymen. “I think we’ve been quite thoughtful and haven’t been rash,” he said after Thursday’s announcement. Some critics of Transtromer’s writing have questioned its lack of social commentary, so often found in the works of other Nobel winners, including last year’s laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa of Peru. Humble and unpretentious, Transtromer has always avoided political debates and has stayed out of the public eye. He is considered a master of metaphor, weaving powerful images into his poems without much embellishment. His focus on simplicity is also mirrored in the way he led his life. “A lot of great poets don’t do anything but write poetry,” said Swedish author Lars Gustafsson, a longtime friend. “But here you have a man who has worked really hard his entire life as a psychologist and who has been writing on Saturday afternoons and in his spare time, often in small, cramped rooms. “I think his readers also experience him in that way. His poetry is very elementary. It is about things that nearly all people share, such as dreams,” Gustafsson added. Staffan Bergsten, who wrote a biography of Transtromer published this year, said his work is characterized by a combination of the ordinary — people, nature — and the feeling that “there’s something secretive underneath.” “No strange words, nothing like that. Anyone can understand it at some level,” he said. “But then there are other dimensions.” Born in Stockholm in 1931, Transtromer was raised by his mother, a teacher, after she divorced his father, a journalist. He started writing poetry while studying at the Sodra Latin school in Stockholm. His work appeared in several journals before he published his first book of poetry, “17 poems,” in 1954. It won acclaim in Sweden. He studied literature, history, poetics, the history of religion and psychology at Stockholm University. Transtromer’s most famous works include the 1966 “Windows and Stones,” in which he depicts themes from his many travels, and “Baltics” from 1974. After his stroke in 1990, he largely stopped writing, but he published “The Sorrow Gondola” in 1996 with work that had been written before the stroke and the “The Great Enigma.” For decades, Transtromer has had a close friendship with American poet Robert Bly, who translated many of his works into English. In 2001, Transtromer’s Swedish publishing house, Bonniers, published the correspondence between the two writers in the book “Air Mail.” Earlier this year, Bonniers released a collection of his works between 1954 and 2004 to celebrate the poet’s 80th birthday. Three women share Nobel; led change in Africa, Mideast tap him and say, ‘Sir, I just won the Nobel Peace Nobel peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Liberia’s warlords. In 2003, she led hundreds of female protesters — the “women in white” — through Monrovia to demand swift disarmament of fighters who continued to prey on women even though a peace deal ending 14 years of near-constant civil war had been reached months earlier. “You’re supposed to be our liberators, but if you finish everyone, who will you rule?” Gbowee asked rebel official Sekou Fofana during one march that year. Gbowee was honored by the committee for mobilizing women “across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections.” Gbowee works in Ghana’s capital as the director of Women Peace and Security Network Africa. The group’s website says she is a mother of five. She said that although she had never considered herself worthy of the prize, “women have important roles in peace and security issues and I think that this is an acknowledgment of that.” “The world is functioning on one side of its brain” because women’s skills and intelligence are “not being used to advance the cause of the world,” she said. The Harvard-educated Sirleaf took a different path toward change in Liberia, a country created to settle freed American slaves in 1847. She worked her way through college in the United States by mopping floors and waiting tables. Jailed at home and exiled abroad, she lost to warlord Charles Taylor in elections in 1997 but earned the nickname “Iron Lady.” A rebellion forced Taylor from power in 2003, and Sirleaf emerged victorious in a landslide vote in 2005. Even on a continent long plagued with violence, the civil war in Liberia stood out for its cruelty. Taylor’s soldiers ate the hearts of slain enemies and even decorated checkpoints with human entrails. The conflict had a momentary lull when Taylor ran for office in 1997 and was elected president. Many say they voted for him because they were afraid of the chaos that would follow if he lost. Though Liberia is more peaceful today, Sirleaf has critics at home who say she hasn’t done enough to restore roads, electricity and other infrastructure devastated during the civil strife. Her opponents have accused her of buying votes and using government funds to campaign for re-election, charges that her camp denies. Liberia’s truth and reconciliation commission recommended that she be barred from public office for previously giving up to $10,000 to a rebel group headed by Taylor. Liberia’s legislature has not approved that recommendation, and Sirleaf has said that if she should apologize for anything it is for “being fooled” by Taylor in the past. African and international luminaries welcomed Sirleaf’s honor. Many had gathered in Cape Town, South Africa on Friday to celebrate against white racist rule in South Africa. “She deserves it many times over. She’s brought stability to a place that was going to hell.” U2 frontman Bono — who has figured in peace prize speculation in previous years — called Sirleaf an “extraordinary woman, a force of nature and now she has the world recognize her in this great, great, great way.” Karman is a mother of three from Taiz, a city in southern Yemen that is a hotbed of resistance against Saleh’s regime. The daughter of a former legal affairs minister under Saleh, she has been dubbed “Iron Woman, “The Mother of Revolution” and “The Spirit of the Yemeni Revolution” by fellow protesters. Long an advocate for human rights and freedom of expression in Yemen, she mounted an initiative to organize Yemeni youth groups and opposition into a national council. On Jan. 23, Karman was arrested at her home. After widespread protests against her detention — it is rare for Yemen women to be taken to jail — she was released early the next day. During a February rally in Sanaa, she told the AP: “We will retain the dignity of the people and their rights by bringing down the regime.” Karman now lives in the capital, Sanaa. She is a journalist and member of the Islamic party Islah and heads the human rights group Women Journalists without Chains. Jagland noted that Karman, 32, is a member of a political party linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist movement sometimes viewed with suspicion in the West. Jagland, however, called the Brotherhood “an important part” of the Arab Spring. Yemen’s uprising has been one of the least successful so far, failing to unseat Saleh as the country descends into failed state status and armed groups take increasingly central roles. The leaders of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya lost power following popular uprisings this year, but all three countries remain in turmoil. Hardliners remain in control in Yemen and Syria, and a Saudi-led force crushed the uprising in Bahrain, leaving an uncertain record for the Arab protest movement. Jagland noted that while it was hard to discern the leadership of the Arab Spring, Karman “started her activism long before the revolution took place in Tunisia and Egypt. She has been a very courageous woman in Yemen for quite a long time.” Jagland called the oppression of women “the most important issue in the Arab world” and stressed that the empowerment of women must go hand in hand with Islam. “It may be that some still are saying that women should be at home, not driving cars, not being part of the normal society,” he said. “But this is not being on the right side of history.” Award creator Alfred Nobel gave only vague guidelines for the peace prize in his 1895 will, saying it should honor “work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Last year’s peace prize went to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first woman to win a free presidential election. Tawakkul Karman began pushing for change in Yemen long before the Arab Spring. They share a commitment to women’s rights in regions where oppression is common, and on Friday they shared the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored women for the first time in seven years, and in selecting Karman it also recognized the Arab Spring movement championed by millions of often anonymous activists from Tunisia to Syria. Prize committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said it would have been difficult to identify all the movement’s leaders, and that the committee was making an additional statement by selecting Karman to represent their cause. “We have included the Arab Spring in this prize, but we have put it in a particular context,” Jagland told reporters. “Namely, if one fails to include the women in the revolution and the new democracies, there will be no democracy.” Karman is the first Arab woman ever to win the peace prize, which includes a 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award that will be divided among the winners. No woman or sub-Saharan African had won the prize since 2004, when the committee honored Wangari Maathai of Kenya, who mobilized poor women to fight deforestation by planting trees. “I am very, very happy about this prize,” said Karman, who has been campaigning for the ouster of Yemen’s authoritarian President Ali Abdullah Saleh since 2006. “I give the prize to the youth of revolution in Yemen and the Yemeni people.” Sirleaf, 72, won Liberia’s presidential election in 2005 and is credited with helping the country emerge from an especially brutal civil war. She is running for re-election Tuesday in what has been a tough campaign, but Jagland said that did not enter into the committee’s decision to honor her. “This gives me a stronger commitment to work for reconciliation,” Sirleaf said Friday from her home in Monrovia, the capital. She said Liberians should be proud that both she and Gbowee were honored. “Leymah Gbowee worked very hard with women in Liberia from all walks of life to challenge the dictatorship, to sit in the sun and in the rain advocating for peace,” Sirleaf said. “I believe we both accept this on behalf of the Liberian people and the credit goes to them.” Gbowee, who took a flight to New York on Friday, said she was shocked to learn she had won. “Everything I do is an act of survival for myself, for the group of people that I work with,” she said. “So if you are surviving, you don’t take you survival strategies or tactics as anything worth of a Nobel.” One of the first people she told was a fellow airline passenger. “Sat by a guy for five hours on the flight and we never spoke to each other, but I had to �Sunday, October 9, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2011 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 10, 2011: This year the unexpected occurs within a partnership.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ You might need to focus on certain details and complete calls before you deal with an associate or get involved in a meeting. Be clear that others cannot and will not wait. Move quickly and efficiently through your must-do’s. Tonight: Meet others’ demands. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ You might want to understand what is happening with a child or loved one. Explaining that it is a workday and that you need to move on might not be as popular as you would like. Open up to another approach. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++++ You have answers, and they keep coming in. Your creativity remains your strong suit. The unexpected corrals your attention. Be sensitive to the costs of proceeding in a key direction. Tonight: Let your hair down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ You might feel the need to revise a personal situation or make a necessary change. Your caring warms up what could be a difficult person. This person understands; he or she feels your concern. Tonight: Head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ You have a jovial style that emerges with ease. Your personality comes forward and helps others through the unpredictable. A partner is there for you, and lets you know he or she understands. Be open to possibilities. Tonight: Let a talk flow into dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ Your caring will evolve to a new level if you remain open. Your instincts carry you through a bad moment or two. A friend could change his or her mind, leaving you a bit stunned. Don’t make a so-so decision. Tonight: Your treat.
