Keith Little, sanitarian for the Meigs County Board of Health. told Meigs Cout1ty Commissioners Thursday the health department will embark on two more programs to fmther eradicate scrap tires. On Oct. 3, the health depattmcnt will offer a tire ' amnesty day, allowing residents to bring in up to 10 ,20-inch tires for free recycling.

He said I large tire dumps are mostly a thing of the past. "We think we have most, if not alL of the. major dumps cleaned up:' Little said. "In the past 12 years, we have had amnesty days, issued orders for cleanup and taken whatever action we could take to address the large dumping areas.''

MORGANTOW'\J, W.Va. ,·- A group of ~outhern West Virginia residents has sued four coal companies over the strip mining that helped build ·the King Coal Highway, claiming it has contributed to ·devastating flooding. Twenty families along Pigeon Creek have filed property damage cases. in Mingo County Circuit Court, naming as defendants Alpha Natural Resources of Abingdon, Va., and three subsidiaries, 'Nicewonder Contracting, . White Flame Energy and Cobra Natural Resources. : Alpha, however, denied · any wrongaoing late Friday and said that it was not cited for any stormwater runoff 1 violations after the spring · 'flood that damaged thou:sands of homes. ~ ''It was a natural disaster caused by exceedingly high rainfalls and ground' saturation," said company spokesman Ted Pile, adding that 4.5 inches of rain fell between Ma); 8 and the morning of May 9. "It was an act of God, not an act of man." ' A motion filed with the lawsuits Thursday says they are the first of dozeris to come. with 'at least 20 more • expected by people who live along Mate Creek. The plaintiffs want their cases transferred to a mass litigation panel appointed by the state Supreme Court. The lawsuits claim Alpha is taking advantage of both the highway project and legal loopholes to avoid regulations that would ordinarily require stricter floodcontrol measures. By building flat highway beds for the state to pave, Alpha is spared the typical burden of restoring the land to its approximate original contour after it is done mining. State and federal laws that normally cover coal mining operations don't apply when that mining is considered incidental to highway con~truction. The plaintiffs, however, argue it was the other way around: They contend the highway construction was incidental to the real goal of mining coal "without following regulations intended to protect the public from just the sort of catastrophe that occurred." "They were going to mine the coal anyway," said plaintiffs' attorney Kevin Thompson. "This was a pretense to avoid environmental regulation." Pile said the plaintiffs' assertion is "just not true,'' and that state law clearly weighs the value of theincidental coal against the overall amount of eat1h to be moved for the road before allowing it to proceed without the usual permits. ''The fact of the matter is, the reserves that are there on that land are unable to be developed and probably wouldn't be· able to be touched unless there had been some peneficial use like the 'lighway," he said. Working with Alpha on the 11-mile stretch from Red Jacket to Gilbert has saved the state $300 million and may have helped get the road built sooner, said Michael Mitchem, executive director of the King Coal/Tolsia' Highway Authority in Gilbert. "There's no way you could do it without the coal companies;· he said. Though the partnership with Alpha is the authority's first with a coal company, Mitchem said. it won·'t be the last. Consol Energy, based in Canonsburg. Pa., has won approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to build another S-mile section. · The King Coal part of Highway I-73/74 will eventually be 95 miles, with about 12 miles finished by next year, Mitchem said. It will then connect with the 55mile Tolsiff Highway, which is about 10 percent built. In about 20 years, when both parts are finished, the highway will stretch from Huntington to Williamson. But residents like Melissa Lester, one of the Pigeon Creek plaintiffs, claim it's being built at their expense.· The lawsuits contend "inadequate or nonexistent stormwater control, failure to return the land to approximate original contour and other deviations from accepted standards of care" and argue that the practices dramatically increased peak water flows and caused severe flooding problems for people downhill. Lester and the other plaintiffs contend Alpha knew more than a year ago that its operations were causing property damage, but did nothing. They are demanding damages for property damage, negligence, nuisance, trespass and deliberate infliction of emotional distress. Lester, in particular, endured two floods in the spring of 2008 before the third on May 9 that destroyed her home. That flood caused widespread damage in the southern coalfields, destroying 300 structures in Mingo County and causing damage to about 3 ,000. In Wyoming County, about 250 structures were damaged. Alpha employees were among those affected, Pile said, and the company committed hundreds of labor hours to thv cleanup in the weeks afterward. from domestic offenders domestic violence offender possesses? ·'You're on the honor sysLOUISVILLE, Ky. - A tem," said Vincent. president once-discarded proposal to of the Kentucky County strip domestic violence Attorneys., Association.

Results of an evaluation completed in June were never made public. Williams first pled innocent to the l 0 charges against him, but later changed his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity. Tires from Page At will be established to assist the trustees in their efforts, so the only additional cost to the townships will be the cost of transporting tires to the collection point. In February and early March, Little said, more than 7 ,000 scrap tires were collected, with the assistance of trustees in some Meigs County townships. Sutton Township Trustees turned over 400 in for ,Jecycling, and Salem Township more than that. For an upcoming clean-up campaign, trustees in Lebanon, Olive,· Rutland, and Salem townships have expressed interest in a program to take place in October and November. Little said. Other townships are expected to cooperate. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has made over $5 million available to private landowners who discover tire dumps on their properties. The EPA's grant allows for the cleanup. "smaller'' dumps of betw 100 and 2,000 tires in one privately-owned location.

I am sick of playing cards and going to flea markets when I'd rather be horseback riding or out · taking photos. - B .L. Dear B.~.: I think the best strategy for you to adopt ~ne that Will be usable in any circumstance in which you ~md yourself u~able to say no to at;~ activity you dislike IS to start makmg counter su~gesttons. If you enjoy photography, why not ask your fnends to take a class with you - or j~st go on a ''people-watching" excursion in a busy park wtth your cameras? Ask around and find out if there's ~nyone you hang out with who would like to try trail ridmg. It sounds as though you are always on the receiving end of the plan, instead of the initiator. ' You probably will find, though, that once you start doing the asking, you will get a few "nos" in return. Notice how th~y make you feel. Uninterested in continuing the friendship? Probably not - you won't take the rejection personally, knowing that your friends simply may not be interested or may need some time to get used to the idea. What you can take from this is that if you start saying no - and you should, right now - your friends are not going to abandon and reject yo':l. In fact, they just might start finding you a more mterestmg person - one who has her own set of ills and hobbies. Some of_ them might even like the same • uff you do! So, start takmg turns suggesting activities, and you won't end up feeling resentful yet afraid to offer your own ideas. as~s ••• i Dear J?r. Brothers: I am an average guy in my 30s. I'm not marned yet but hope to meet someone pretty soon with ;.vhom I can settle d~wn. What I was wondering is if there IS a way to be happier. I am not sad or depressed; I just don't se.em to find much joy in life. I was wondering if small thmgs can make someone happy, or does it have to be the big things, like getting a better job, getting married, losing a lot of weight or things like that? What can I do to be happier? - A.V. Dear A.V.: I'm glad you are thinking about being happier and know that this ability lies in your own hands. At the same time, it tells me that you realize you don't have to win the lottery to have an experience that will increase your happiness quotient. So, you know there are things you can do to make yourself feel better, and you know they don't have to be gigantic. You have a realistic attitude and the motivation to do something to make the changes happen. At the same time, you aren't afraid to keep big goals in front of you - goals like marriage, someday. So how do we get you started on this journey that begins with one small step? You may be interested to hear the results of a study just ublished in the journal Emotion, based upon work by the niversity of North Carolina. Analyzing the results of a onthlong effort by more than 80 people to write "emotion pons;' the researchers concluded that focusing C1n small satisfactions in the present and cultivating positive emotions helped develop resiliency, which in turn led to the ability to ward off depression and stress. It wasn't necessary to have a lack of negative emotions, but to balance them with a larger number of daily positive ones. What this boils down to is that paying attention to the little things in your life that bring .you pleasure on a daily basis can be the building blocks to greater happiness.

For the GOP, the sight of Baucus standing alone on Wednesday as he unveiled his legislation was all they could have asked for. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party leader, worked for months to dissuade fellow Republicans from reaching across party lines. Having succeeded. he accused . Baucus of authoring a "partisan proposal" that would raise taxes and reduce Medicare spending. While Democrats demanded changes, Baucus projected confidence. "I am guessing that by an'd large there will be a couple of changes. But I don't think there will be any changes in the core provisions of the bill," Baucus said in an Associated Press phone interview ~ Montana.

The U.S. already has a similar missile site and radar in Alaska. Previous intelligence assessed that Iran would have an ICBM capable of menacing Europe and the United States sometime between 20 12 and 20 15, another U.S. government official said. The a~sessment changed because Iran has not been conducting the kind of observable development and testing that would be expected to accompany a robust long-range missile program, the second official said. The new assessment is contained in a classified May 2009 National Intelligence Estimate. The secret • report is called "Foreign Ballistic Missile Development and ·Threat Through 2020.'' National Intelligence Estimates contain the consensus judgment of all 16 American intelligence agencies about critical national security issues. Thomas Fingar, the former chairman of the National Intelligence Iran's Council, said progress - or lack thereof - on its ballistic missile program can be readily observed. "There's been a lot of testing. They learned from the tests and we learned from the tests," Fingar said. Fingar, who spearheaded the controversial 2007 national intelligence esti-' mate that disclosed Iran had halted its nuclear weapon design work in 2003, was not privy to the new intelligence. But he said Iran may be working on short-range missiles because they are easier to build than large, long-range missiles, and lessons learned in their development can be applied to larger missiles. He also said Iran may not be aggressively pursuing an ICBM because it has cerned its most likely ad sarles are in the region. shorter missiles have more immediate utility for offensive attacks or deterrence . The new Obama plan would deploy systems designed to shoot down short and medium-range missiles, with construction in phases to begin around 20 II . Systems to counter longer-range missiles would be in place around 2020. �Sunday, September 20, Obituaries . l e Mildred L. Pennington Mildred L.

Bar files new lawsuit against Ohio's smoking ban COLUMBUS (AP) - Ohio's workplace smoking ban is unconstitutional because it is not equally enforced throughout the state, a bar owner claims in a lawsuit against the state's top law official. Richard Allen, owner of Zeno's, a bar facing $28,000 in fines for violating the smoking ban, is teaming up with a conservative policy group to fight the law after being sued by Attorney General Richard Cordray. In a countersuit filed this week in Franklin County Common Pleas Court, the group said the law is too vague in ordering that business owners take "reasonable steps" if a patron is caught smoking and that the Ohio Department of Health is not properly interpreting the Jaw. · "The smoking ban represents one of the greatest univer sal deprivations of property rights in Ohio's histo~y," said Maurice Thompson, a lawyer for the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solution in Columbus. This is the Buckeye Institute's second smoking-related lawsuit in a month. In mid-August, Thompson sued the state on behalf of the Pour House in Cincinnati, arguing that enforcement of the Jaw is requiring bars to exercise c control over the actions of customers. e smoking ban was approved by voters and took effect May 2007. ·. . Holly Hollingsworth, a spokeswoman for Cordray, satd there's no reason to believe that any parts of the law are unconstitutional. The legal challenges began after Cordray filed a lawsuit ·last month against Zeno's and O'Neal's Tavern in pncinnati, accusing each of repeatedly flouting the Jaw. In the countersuit, Zeno's argues that it has complied with the ban by posting signs, removing ashtrays and · telling patrons not to smoke there. . But city health department officials say Zeno's patrons consistently smoke in full view of employees and the owner, often with employee-supplied plastic cups for ashtrays.

' Sharon Cogar Rizer Airman's bracelet lost in World war 11 returned Bv DAN JouNG ASSOCIATED PRES$ WRITER A:\TCHORAGE, Alaska - Jack Harold Glenn was a World War II fighter pilot who was killed during a firefight as he flew a mission over Germany in 1944, his body coming to rest in a field in a rural village. The silver bracelet Glenn was wearing was given to a 16-year-old boy who helped retrieve his body. He held onto the bracelet ever since, a remembrance of the fallen American airman. Sixty-five years later, the bracelet is returning to Glenn's sister in Alaska thanks to an eQterprisil:)g World War II veteran who uncovered the relic on a recent trip to the German village. Helen Glenn Foreman of Anchorage says she will receive her brother's bracelet in a week or so and plans to send it ·to a museum in Matagorda County, Texas. where Glenn grew up. "Anything that's gone to the museum may inspire or make people grateful or add to history," Helen Glenn Foreman said Wednesday. "I think we're all better peopie if we know and appreciate history."

Co~tennporarily . halts second execution attennpt ~ SY STEPHEN MAJORS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS - A federal judge on Friday temporarily halted an unprecedented second attempt at lethal injection of an Ohio inmate who said his execution attempt t!lis week was marred by painful needle sticks into his bone and muscles. U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost issued a temporary restraining order effective for 10 days against the state, preventing a second execution attempt on Romell Broom from going forward as planned Tuesday. Attorneys for the state consented to the request for a delay from Broom's attorneys, who will argue that the pain Broom experienced during the aborted attempt violates a constitution~! ban on cruel and unusual punishment. A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 28 on Broom's attorneys' request for a preliminary injunction against the execution. Tim Sweeney, an attorney for Broom, said his client is "relived," but noted there is still work to do. "There's still a state that wants to execute Romell Broom even though he's been through this horrific, tortuous 2 1/2-hour battle with the executioners on Tuesday, and it's our hope that we can convince the courts that once the state has tried once to execute this man and has failed, that they can't try again." Sweeney also filed an application for a stay with the U .S. Supreme Court on Friday in an attempt to get Broom added to an ongoing federal lawsuit against Ohio's lethal injection process. He filed another attempt to get the execution blocked with the Ohio Supreme Court. Sweeney hopes to achieve ,c lemency for Broom, but failing that , he will argue that his client shouldn't be executed until a new procedure can be put in place that ensures there will be no repeat of Tuesday's failed attempt. "Waiting to be executed again is anguishing," Broom said in an affidavit filed in federal district court in Columbus. "It is very stressful to think about the fact that the State of Ohio intends to cause me the same physical pain next week." While the state consented to the delay, the prosecutor in Cuyahoga County - where Broom's crime occurred 25 years ago - opposed it, saying the execution had never begun because the lethal drug cocktail never began flowing into Broom's body. "Broom's allegations of cruel and inhumane treatment are wholly unfounded," Bill Mason said. Broom was con vic ted in the 1984 rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl after abducting her at knifepoint in Cleveland while she was walking home from a football game with friends . Broom was being held Friday at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville where inmates are executed, but he will "very shortly" be transported back to the Youngstown prison where most death-row inmates are held, said his other attorney, Adele Shank. A central element of Broom's argument rests on statements made by the U.S. Supreme Court when it upheld Kentucky's lethal injection procedure in an April 2008 ruling. The court said that a "hypothetical situation" involving "a series of aborted attempts" at execution "would present a different case," Sweeney said in his federal court filing. Chief Justice John Roberts suggested at the time that the court will not halt scheduled executions in the future unless "the condemned prisoner establishes that the state's lethal injection protocol creates a demonstrated risk of severe pain." Broom told his attorneys he was pricked as many as 18 times Tuesday as prison staff tried to find a suitable vein. 1 "This is three guys in ,three years that have had these types of serious problems," said Sweeney, referring to the attempt on Broom and two other executions that were delayed after difficulty finding a suitable vein. "There's a pattern here now in this state." Broom's case marked the first time an execution in Ohio had to be halted and rescheduled for a later date. In 1947, an electrocution attempt of an inmate in Louisiana failed, and he was returned to death row for nearly a year. In an affidavit from Broom that was to be submitted as evidence in the federal district court filing , Broom said officials first tried three separate times to access a suitable vein in the middle of both arms. After the failed six attempts, he said a nurse tried twice to access veins in the left arm. "She must have hit a muscle because tl* pain made me scream out loud," Broom said. "The male nurse attempted three times to access veins in my right arm. The first time the male nurse successfully accessed a vein in my right arm. He attempted to insert the IV, but he lost it and blood started to run down my right arm. The female nurse left the room. The correction officer asked her if she was OK. She responded , 'No' and walked out. Riverfest begins Brian J. Reed/photos Pomeroy's Sternwheel Riverfest events gave new meaning to TGIF, as festival-goers got an early start on the weekend.

The win was the fourth in a row for Coach Ed Cromley's White Falcons but it was the winless Rebels who stole the show with a swarming defense that limited the visitors to its lowest point production of the year.

Although receiving a mild scare Wahama remained unbeaten on the season .with its fourth straight victory. South Gallia dropped its fourth consecutive decision to fall to 0-4 on the 2009 but coach Justy Burleson's team was well prepared for nearly everything that the White Falcons threw at them. South Gallia .took the opening kickoff and marched down the field behind the running of Logan Wamsley and Bryce Clary. The hosts fumbled away its chance at an early score at the Falcon J4 yard line to kill the drive. Wahama, on the streogth of a 55 yard run by Isaac Lee, drove to the Rebel one yard line but a stiff South Gallia front line stopped the Bend Area team three times inside the one to take over on downs.

For instance, have you ever imagined what would happen if suddenly, inexplicably, all the people in the world just disappeared? That's the premise behind Life After l>eople, a History Channel series that outlines the changes that would take place starting the instant that the human race vanishes without a trace (no explanations are given for the cause of the disappearance and it isn't important to the program). A continuous theme throughout the series is that without human upkeep and maintenance, our infrastructure and artificial landscapes would quickly fall into disrepair, slowly erode and eventually be incorporated back into the natural landscape with little remaining to show that we humans ever existed. How many of you have been hunting and came across a neglected old homestead, its boards weathered or rotted through, holes in the roof with maybe even some trees growing them? Once home to people, it is now only inhabited by woodchucks, raccoons and other animals. In a few short years you can't even tell there was a house there, and ~n time the only things remaining will be some worn field stone foundation blocks and a little black dot on an outdated topographic map. This phenomenon takes place all of the time; the day-to-day version of nature taking back man-altered landscapes is called natural or ecological succession, and any sportsman over the age of 30 has witnessed it first-hand. In a few short years, old pastures and farm fields revert into brushy areas; · soybeans and alfalfa yield to grasses, forbs, shrubs and young trees. The saplings in time grow into pole timber and young forest, and eventually the undergrowth begins to thin out as the for- BY RICK SIMPKINS SPORTS CORRESPONDENT SOUTH POINT - Senior Nathan Roberts accounted for 246 all purpose yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Point Pleasant Big Blacks to a convincing 35-0 win over the South Point Pointers in a non-league game played here last night.

We made some POINT adjustments to our offense after our game against Sissonville a couple of weeks ago and tonight we really benefited from those changes. Most of those came up front, where we moved some personnel around. The offensive line opened some holes for our running backs and gave our quarterback time to throw the football. The way we played tonight, I guess I know how Sissonville felt a couple of weeks ago," continued the third year mentor. As good as the offense, was,. the defense was probably better. Point alJowed the South Point eleven just 105 total yards, including just seven yards and no first downs in the first half. Several Point defenders had good games including junior lineman Casey Hogg-, who amassed some 13 tackles. Junior linebacker Michael Musgrave and Nathan Roberts each had 12 tackles, Brock McClung had 10 tackles, Layne Thompson had 9 stops, Derek Pinson had 8. JaWaan Williams was credited with 6 tackles and a fumble recovery, while Orrin Chason had 3 tackles and he picked off an errant South Point pass. " Our defense was super," said Darst. "We played good team defense tonight. We switched to a 50 defense and the boys were pretty comfortable with that package. I think it showed."

On the next Tornado possession the Hannan defense was able to get their first stop of the game by forcing a fumble . The Wildcats would not be able to take advantage of the miscue. The Southern defense held the Wildcats fo just one first down through two quarters. The second half started very similar to the first for the Southern defense.

Five of those came on their two possessions of the third quarter. But, while the Pointers were showing signs of life, • proud Red and Bla defenders were eager for the shutout. South Point managed to get to the Point 14 yard line on their second possession, but Derek Pinson sacked quarterback Kyle Dickess for an 11 yard loss on a fourth down play and that was as close as they would get the rest of the way. Anthony Darst tacked on the final score of the night when he scored on a nifty 28 yard run in the final canto. "We have two big games, coming up the next two weeks and this will definitely help us get.ready for those games," said Darst. "We go to Warren Local next week and then return home to face Wayne. Both of these teams will run the same offense that we saw tonight. They might run it better, but if we play like we did tonight, then I like our chance. concluded Darst. The game next week against Warren Local has been moved to Saturday night, so be sure and mark that on your calendar.

Brock McClung's extra point kick made it 7-0 before a lot of the crowd had time to sit down. "We wanted to jump on them quickly, we just didn't anticipate doing it that quickly," explained Darst. "That touchdown gave our boys a lot of confidence, while allowing us to be a little loose." That touchdown was the only one in the opening stanza, but a three touchdown explosion in an eight minute span of the second quarter effectively put the game away for the Big Blacks. Blankenship tallied the first of those when he scored his first touchdown of the season with eight and a half minutes left in the half. Blankenship's bolt over right tackle capped a 5-play, 61 yard drive that used just two minutes of the clock. McClung was true on the extra point and the Big Blacks had a two touchdown lead. Nathan Roberts tallied the next two touchdowns, one on a 44-yard pitch and catch from younger brother Eric and the other on a nifty 67yard run on his only carry of the night. The touchdown pass followed a South Point punt and was the only play of the drive. James Fielder gave the locals good field position when he returned the punt from his own 10 to the Pointer 44 yard line. The long touchdown run capped a 2-play drive that started on the Point 28 yard line after yet another South Point punt. Blankenship picked up 5 yards on first down and then Roberts did the rest, racing 67 yards on second down to pay dirt.
