During the past year, Attorney General Mike DeWine said his office has received more than 50 tree-trimming complaints, most of which involved a door-to-door or word-of-mouth solicitation. “If a tree trimmer comes to your door and wants to cut down your trees right away, be careful. It could be a scam,” he said. “Under Ohio law, most door-to-door sellers, including tree trimmers, must give you a three-day right BEWARE OF A TREE to cancel and must wait until TRIMMER WHO: that period — Comes to your door ends before unexpectedly starting the — Says your trees are diseased work. Don’t — Requires a large down trust a tree payment trimmer who — Accepts only cash or check doesn’t honor — Says nothing about your your rights right to cancel under the law.” — Starts work immediately The Gallia County Sheriff’s Office earlier this year noted on its website that several tree-trimming scams had been occurring in the area. Also, a Bidwell man was arrested in April and accused of scamming residents in Mason, W.Va., after allegedly promising to complete tree trimming work he started but failing to finish it. Complaints often follow that typical pattern, DeWine said. A tree trimmer knocks on doors while passing through the neighborhood, offering a competitive price for his services, takes payment in cash or check only, and then cuts down a few trees in the consumer’s yard. The tree-trimmer usually leaves the stumps in the ground and limbs scattered across the lawn. The tree trimmer leaves, promising the homeowner that he will return to complete the job once he secures additional needed equipment or once inclement weather subsides. Despite the promises, DeWine said the tree trimmer never returns to finish the work, he said.

The mother allegedly was driving the pair on a Honda UTV at about 7 p.m. Thursday on their own property and made a sharp turn, resulting in the vehicle flipping on its side. Both sustained severe lacerations, according to a Gallia County Sheriff Office’s report. No other information was available at press time. RIO GRANDE — The village of Rio Grande held its 145th annual bean dinner at the Bob Evans Farms shelterhouse Aug. 8. The event started at 11 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. Children 10 and older cost $4 and 9 and younger got in free. A bucket of beans cost $5, a dollar more than the previous year. U.S. military veterans ate free. The event was sponosred by the Rio Grande Memorial Association, a nonprofit group with the purpose of continuing the memory of American veterans and their history. The flag-raising ceremony was conducted at 11 a.m. and led by Veterans of Foreign Wars post 4464. Jenny Dyer Henchey led the National Anthem. Rio Grande mayor Matt Easter said a few welcoming statements. At 11:15 a.m., volunteers served beans, crackers, coffee, water, homemade corn bread, pies, soft drinks and sausage sandwiches. At noon, Robert Leith, RGMA member, spoke to crowds about the history of the event. Using seven black kettles, David Morgan and James Blazer cooked up a bean mixture using 50 pounds of ham and 210 pounds of beans. According to RGMA members, between 240 and 270 individuals were served that day. Randy Skaggs, RGMA member, said the recipe for the beans is a “wellguarded secret.” He did say the bean recipe mixture uses “ground up bacon ends, onions, pepper and salt” among some of its ingredients. Leith said bean dinners originally started as a means for the public to show appreciation for American Civil War See DINNER | 6A �LOCAL/NATION 2A Sunday, August 16, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel Top secret emails include drone talk OBITUARIES COLUMBUS — Glendon O. “Cap” Evans, 92, Columbus, passed away Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2015, at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus.

By Bradley Klapper and Ken Dilanian Associated Press WASHINGTON — Neither of the two emails sent to Hillary Rodham Clinton now labeled by intelligence agencies as “top secret,” contained information that would jump out to experts as particularly sensitive, according to several government officials. One included a discussion of a U.S. drone strike, part of a covert program that is widely known and discussed. A second conversation could have improperly referred to highly classified material, but it also could have reflected information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence told The Associated Press. Still, it’s looking increasingly likely the issue of whether Clinton mishandled classified information on her home-brew email server will have significant political implications in the 2016 presidential campaign. Clinton, who has been seen from the outset as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, agreed this week to turn over to the FBI the private server she used as secretary of state. And Republicans in Congress have seized on the involvement of federal law enforcement in the matter as a sign she was negligent in handling the nation’s secrets. On Monday, the inspector general for the 17 spy agencies that make up what is known as the intelligence community told Congress that two of 40 emails, in a random sample of 30,000 messages that Clinton gave the State Department for review, contained information deemed “Top Secret,” one of the government’s highest levels of classification. While neither of the emails was marked classified at the time they were sent, they have since been slapped with a “TK” marking, for “Talent Keyhole,” suggesting material obtained by spy satellites. And they also were marked “NOFORN,” meaning information that can only be shared with Americans with security clearances. The two emails got those markings after consultations with the CIA and other agencies where the material originated, officials said. Some officials said they believed the designations were a stretch — a knee-jerk move in a bureaucracy rife with over-classification. The officials who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity work in intelligence and other agencies. They wouldn’t detail the full contents of the emails because of ongoing questions about classification level. Clinton didn’t transmit the sensitive information herself, they said, and nothing in the emails she received makes direct reference to communications intercepts, confidential intelligence methods or any other form of sensitive sourcing. The drone exchange, the officials said, begins with a copy of a news article about the CIA drone program that targets terrorists in Pakistan and elsewhere. While that program is technically top secret, it is wellknown and often reported on. Former CIA director Leon Panetta and Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, have openly discussed it.

Many of the 30-second spots end with rays of sunlight peeking out from clouds as an upbeat female narrator says, “There are people who still believe opportunity lives in America, and we call ourselves Republicans.” That’s the sort of theme the GOP should take to voters, the Republican National Committee found in its assessment of why Mitt Romney lost to Barack Obama in 2012. “Very powerful, uplifting and unifying,” Ari Fleischer, one of the GOP report’s authors and a Thankful for Family and Friends God Is Good All The Time John 15:14-17 I am so thankful for so many family and friends that have supported me and my family during the past months.

No problems with Ohio roller coaster that fatally struck man SANDUSKY (AP) — A safety inspection found no major problems with a roller coaster that struck and killed a man who entered a restricted area to look for a lost cellphone at Ohio’s Cedar Point amusement park, a spokesman said Friday. Police say 45-year-old James A. Young had just finished riding the Raptor on Thursday and jumped over a fence to retrieve something he dropped during the 57 mph ride. The Erie County coroner says it was his cellphone. Sandusky police said Young was struck by the ride or some- one on it. No one else was hurt. Phil Long, an assistant chief with the Sandusky police, said Friday that the department had received at least a few calls from people who might have witnessed what happened or had information about it. Long said an initial police report wasn’t available for release. The ride was examined overnight by state safety officials and found to be in safe working order, so it resumed operating Friday, park spokesman Bryan Edwards said. He wouldn’t comment on wheth- er officials are considering any changes to the Raptor or the area around it. “Safety is always our highest priority here at Cedar Point, and we will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to provide an enjoyable, safe experience for all of our guests,” he said.

Man didn’t use trash to mask smell of body MEDINA (AP) — An Ohio man charged with corpse abuse after a cable technician found his daughter’s decomposed body in a crib didn’t put garbage in the room to mask the smell or plan to flee the state as alleged, his attorney said in a request for a lower bond. Those points and Eric Warfel’s lack of a criminal record should be taken into account and his $1 million bond should be decreased, attorney Michael O’Shea said in the request filed Thursday in Medina County court. Warfel was arrested after the body of 21-month-old Ember Warfel was discovered in late July. A medical examiner hasn’t ruled on how or when she died. Warfel, 34, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity on charges of corpse abuse and tampering with evidence. He was expected to undergo a psychological evaluation. The new bond request says police provided misleading information about Warfel to a municipal court magistrate who set bond. Warfel denies telling police that he left trash in the room to hide the smell and that he intended to flee, the request said. Relatives told police Warfel had indicated he was considering moving to Illinois, but the reason was to get better government assistance for his children, the filing said. O’Shea said he has reached out to authorities to discuss bond and documentation in the case but hasn’t received a response or copies of police documents and photos. “There is little question that the state of Ohio cannot provide any empirical reason to justify a $1,000,000 bond,” O’Shea wrote. County Prosecutor Dean Holman acknowledged the allegations about the trash might be incorrect but said Warfel still deserves a high bond, The Medina County Gazette reported. “Even if my office was unintentionally provided mistaken information, the fact remains that there was trash in the apartment that had the effect of masking the smell,” Holman said. He also suggested Warfel should be considered a flight risk, noting that Warfel was unemployed and had talked about moving and that Ember’s autopsy results are pending, the newspaper said. Couples gather in Times Square to re-enact kiss at war’s end By Karen Matthews Associated Press NEW YORK — With a countdown of “five, four, three, two, one, smooch,” couples from across the world puckered up in Times Square on Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of the famous kiss celebrating the end of World War II. A 25-foot sculpture depicting Alfred Eisenstaedt’s photograph of a sailor kissing a white-uniformed nurse towered over the commemoration of V-J Day, when Japan’s surrender to Allied forces was announced. Ray and Ellie Williams, Navy veterans who married the day after V-J Day, kicked off the anniversary of the kiss Aug. 14, 1945. “Ellie and I are deeply honored and privileged to represent the greatest generation here today,” said Ray Williams, 91, of Blairsville, Georgia. Williams remembered jubilation breaking out on V-J Day all over the country, including in Gainesville, Georgia, where he and his bride-to-be were stationed. “We were doubly excited about celebrating the end of the war and also our marriage,” he said. Roel van Dalen and Beatrijs Smulders, visitors from Amsterdam, said they were happy to take part in the commemoration. “It’s very beautiful to commemorate such an incredible event,” van Dalen said. “Especially for us. We come from a country which was occupied by the Germans ... and we’re still faced with all the horrifying stories of the war.” Smulders said she was struck by the image of the Bebeto Matthews | AP kiss. Married couple Kenji and Kristen Kawasaki, far left, join others as they re-enact Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic 1945 kiss photo Friday, in “I think it’s really a beautiful symbol of peace and New York’s Times Square.

Local officials are working hard to solve this problem, and yet newly published images from a NASA satellite detect thick algal blooms across the middle of Lake Erie’s Western Basin. Fortunately, last week, the Senate passed the Drinking Water Protection Act, a bill I introduced with Senator Sherrod Brown that will help protect Lake Erie and other fresh bodies of water. This important legislation directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and report to Congress a strategic Algal Toxin Risk Assessment and Management Plan within 90 days. This plan is required to evaluate and identify the risk to human health from drinking water contaminated with algal toxins and recommend feasible treatment options, including procedures on how to prevent algal toxins from reaching local water supplies and mitigate any adverse public health effects of algal toxins. I am very pleased that my legislation, which previously passed by the House of Representatives with the leadership of Congressman Bob Latta, is now on its way to the president’s desk. It is one step towards stopping these toxic algal blooms and the health dangers they represent. I will continue to fight to ensure that all levels of government are committed to fighting this threat.

Call us at: 8 AM Leads Dinner Advertise your business in this space, or bigger TODAY Be skeptical of very low prices. If a tree trimmer quotes a price that is dramatically lower than prices other businesses are offering, be wary. The tree trimmer may later demand more money or do shoddy work. Don’t pay in advance. Be wary of tree trimmers who ask you to pay before the work has started. They may take your money without completing the job. Take time to think about the offer before signing a contract or making any payments. Get a detailed written contract. Insist on a written contract detailing the costs, the work to be done, and the starting and end dates. If the contract resulted from a door-to-door sale, make sure it includes notice of your cancellation rights. Consider paying with a credit card. Paying with a credit card generally gives you greater protections to dispute unauthorized charges. On the other hand, if you pay in cash, it will be very difficult to recover your money if something goes wrong. DeWine said he has taken civil and criminal action against tree trimmers and other contractors who take advantage of consumers. For example, in June, he filed a civil lawsuit against a Springfield man accused of doing shoddy, incomplete work and failing to give consumers notice of their cancellation rights.

Raider Field will be the site of the first game between two Gallia County programs since 2001 when RVHS hosts Gallia Academy in a Week 2 non-conference matchup in Bidwell, Ohio. Raiders, Blue Devils to meet on Week 2 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL — It’s been 14 years, but Gallia County is about to get reaquainted with itself. Gallia Academy picked up a 10th game for the 2015 football season, and the Blue Devils can thank in-county rival River Valley for making that happen as the two programs have officially signed off on a Week 2 contest this fall at RVHS. The Raiders entered the 2015 campaign with a Week 2 affair at Ross Southeastern, while GAHS did not originally have an opponent for the second week — due mainly to the Blue Devils trying to accomodate two different leagues (SEOAL and OVC) in conference play. However, after numerous discussions between now third-year River Valley athletic director Richard Stephens and a pair of GAHS athletic directors over the last 12 months, the two schools discussed the local benefits of having each other on the gridiron schedule for 2016 and 2017. As the discussions more recently intensified, Stephens and new GAHS athletic director Rich Corvin realized that making this game happen now would really be in the best interests of all parties involved — with Gallia County primarily in mind. “Last summer, (then GAHS AD) Brent Simms and I started having discussions about a Week 2 opening that we both had in 2016. We went ahead and scheduled a home and home series and that was it,” Stephens said. “Then, when Gallia Academy decided to join the OVC late last year, their Week 2 game came open again for this year and we started conversations about beginning the series now. “We have struggled to find Week 10 games the past few years for a non-league contest, which is why we are headed to Shadyside this year. It also meant that we had six road games and four home games for 2015. Economically, this makes more sense for us because now we have five home games and get to host what will probably be a big Gallia County crowd in Week 2. Plus, Gallia Academy now has 10 games this year, so everyone wins locally.” In order for these new developments to take place, River Valley had to get in contact with both the OHSAA and Ross Southeastern in regards to getting out of its original Week 2 contract. RVHS was notified that the contract could be bought out for a sum in excess of $6,000 — which in turn heads to SEHS for lost revenue from the original Week 2 game. The Raiders, coincidentally, defeated Southeastern in their Week 2 opener last fall by a 34-6 count. The Panthers were also winless (0-10) during the 2014 campaign. RVHS, however, was fortunate in not getting stuck with the bill — and this is where the story takes a very proud turn within the community. Both schools and athletic directors joined forces in talking with community leaders and the people with Ohio Valley Bank. OVB ultimately came up with a plan and the funds to allow RVHS to open up its Week 2 schedule while also giving Gallia Academy a full slate of games this fall. “I can tell you that when Rich Corvin started as AD, we were very much in regular contact and meeting with people while trying to make this game happen,” Stephens said. “It took a lot of effort from both of us and our schools, but it happened — and we all have Ohio Valley Bank to thank for that. They stepped up and helped us get out of our contract with Southeastern so that this game could be played. They helped renew this county rivalry.” It’s been since Week 7 of the 2001 campaign that two Gallia County programs faced off in a regular season game on the gridiron, which the Blue Devils won by a 56-0 count over River Valley. GAHS is 9-1 all-time against the Raiders, with the lone RVHS victory coming in Cheshire back in 1996. Corvin was very praiseful of the efforts by the folks at River Valley, noting that without them — GAHS would still have an open date on this year’s schedule. He also believes that this game will be bigger and better for everyone involved, which should serve as a benefit to Gallia County moving forward. “It was a lot of hard work, but I have to tip my hat to Richard Stephens and everyone up there at River Valley that helped make this happen,” Corvin said. “Obviously, it’s a big monkey off of our back getting that 10th game this year, but I also think that having that little extra incentive to want to win the ‘county game’ is something that every high school kid wants to experience. “It’s a win-win for all the kids at River Valley and Gallia Academy, as well as those communities, those schools and the county. That’s what will make this special. It’s something that almost all of Gallia County can take an interest and a pride in.” Corvin also noted that the Gallia Academy community was both humbled and appreciative for the efforts made by Ohio Valley Bank. “Before the game takes place, Ohio Valley Bank is definitely the most valuable player in this thing. They were the ones that made it happen from the financial side, and I know both schools are very appreciative for them helping to make this a reality,” Corvin said. “Knowing how big they are in the county and how much they support the communities they serve, it will be nice to have them serve as the official game sponsor that night. It’s just another feather in their cap.” Along with several other supported causes within the tricounty area, Ohio Valley Bank also currently holds the naming rights for the new outdoor athletic complex at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Hands down. “I don’t even justify that. There’s no need,” he said Thursday night at AT&T Park. “That’s without saying.” The 51-year-old home run king said he feels a huge sense of relief since federal prosecutors dropped what was left of their criminal case against him last month after a nearly decade-long steroids prosecution. “I can say yes, there’s a lot. Because it’d be not true if I said there wasn’t some weight lifted off my shoulders,” Bonds said in an interview with The Associated Press, his first since the government announcement. “I’ve never been much of a talker. That’s never been my game. I don’t have time to put people down, I don’t have time to do all that stuff. I don’t care to. If people want to say negative things, that’s their opinion,” the former San Francisco Giants star said. The government’s pursuit of Bonds ended July 21 with a one-paragraph motion by the U.S. Department of Justice announcing Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. would not ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the appellate decision that overturned Bonds’ obstruction of justice conviction. “That’s why I say God is good. Every player who’s ever played against me knows my ability, and that’s something I will never, ever have to explain,” Bonds said. “I’m not insulted by anything. I don’t hold grudges. I’m not going to hold a grudge. I know what I brought to the game. I’m proud of that. That’s all, I’m proud of that.” Bonds, the seven-time NL MVP, broke Hank Aaron’s career home record of 755 on Aug. 7, 2007, in the last of the slugger’s 22 big league seasons. Bonds hit 762 homers in all. In his third year on the Hall ballot in 2015, Bonds received 202 votes for 36.8 percent from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. A player must garner at least 75 percent of the vote to be elected. Bonds realizes there are plenty of people who still won’t like him or ever consider him a Hall of Famer, those who will always assume he cheated by using performance-enhancing drugs. He knows his legal victory doesn’t assure him a spot in Cooperstown, either. Or change his legacy, whatever that winds up being. “I don’t mind if people get on me at times, I don’t mind that stuff,” Bonds said. “That’s part of the game, that’s part of the business. I know now that I’m retired more so than when I was playing.” “I think when you’re playing and you’re giving all you can, you want people to praise you more than being negative toward you. After being away for a while, some people just say you mature a little bit later. Got it after the fact,” he said. Bonds also acknowledged how he wasn’t always the nicest guy to be around during his playing days, but, “I was preparing for my job. I thought at that time it was in my way in what I needed to do to go to work. So I was a little more standoffish or whatever you want to call it.” A jury found Bonds guilty in 2011 for giving a meandering answer to a federal grand jury in 2003 when asked whether his personal trainer gave him anything that required a syringe for self-injection. An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that conviction this past April.

LeBron, Akron making college possible for kids SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James is giving kids from Akron — ones with challenging backgrounds like his — the chance to go to college for free. The NBA star has partnered with the University of Akron to provide a guaranteed four-year scholarship to the school for students in James’ “I Promise” program who qualify. The scholarship will cover tuition and the university’s general service fee — currently $9,500 per year. It’s the latest example of James, who often refers to himself “as just a kid from Akron” giving back to a community that helped raise him. “It’s the reason I do what I do,” said James, who announced the program Thursday while hosting an event for students at Cedar Point Amusement Park. “These students have big dreams, and I’m happy to do everything I can to help them get there. They’re going to have to earn it, but I’m excited to see what these kids can accomplish knowing that college is in their futures.” The school and the LeBron James Family Foundation are still finalizing the criteria for the scholarships. The students will have to graduate high school within Akron’s public school system and achieve standard testing requirements as well as fulfill a community service obligation. James has had a longstanding relationship with the university. As his celebrity soared in high school, James played many game on the school’s campus and the four-time MVP deepened his connection with Akron soon after he turned professional. “It means so much because, as a kid growing up in the inner city and a lot of African-American kids, you don’t really think past high school,” said James, who bypassed college to jump to the NBA. “You don’t really know your future. You hear high school all the time, and you graduate high school and then you never think past that because either it’s not possible or your family’s not financially stable to even be able to support a kid going to college.” In recent months, James and members of his foundation met with Akron President Dr. Scott Scarborough hoping to establish a program that would have long-term impact on the community. The result was an initiative they believe will inspire the area’s youth to achieve and reach their potential.

That alone makes the Browns’ quarterback situation much more stable than the mess they had last year. A respected veteran with a golden reputation, but not many wins on his 12-year NFL resume, McCown was signed by Cleveland as a free agent to provide stability to their quarterback position and mentor Manziel, who couldn’t control his Johnny Football persona and nearly partied himself out of the league as a rookie. They share Texas roots, but McCown and Manziel have grown close in Ohio. “Josh is a pro, he’s been doing this a long time,” Manziel said Thursday night following Cleveland’s 20-17 exhibition loss to Washinton. “I’m always watching and trying to learn from him. He’s always giving me a lot of tips. I can hear him on the sideline even when he’s out (of the game) and I’m out there. “He has been very, very helpful, and it has been awesome having him around.” McCown hasn’t been officially selected as Cleveland’s starter for the Sept. 13 season opener, but the 36-year-old has done everything coach Mike Pettine has needed and appears comfortable in new coordinator John DeFilippo’s system. ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — The parents of a sprint car driver struck and killed last year by Tony Stewart believe a wrongful death lawsuit is the only way to hold the NASCAR star accountable. Pamela and Kevin Ward Sr. said Friday on “Good Morning America” they want “justice” for their 20-year-old son. “That’s what we want,” Pamela Ward said. “I don’t feel Tony meant to kill my son. But his actions killed my son. I think he lost his temper.” Kevin Ward Jr. was killed last August at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park when he exited his car under caution in an apparent attempt to confront Stewart. As Ward Jr. walked down the track, he was struck by Stewart’s car. The Wards believe Stewart revved his engine and swerved toward Ward Jr. “Tony races every weekend,” Kevin Ward Sr. said. “Well I know my son will never get to race again. He took a very, very big part of my family’s life.” A grand jury last September cleared Stewart of any criminal wrongdoing. The Ontario County district attorney also added Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night of the incident. “I do not believe my son was impaired,” Pamela Ward said. The wrongful death suit filed Aug. 7 seeks unspecified damages stemming from Ward Jr.’s potential future earnings and suffering at the time of the accident. Stewart has maintained the incident was an accident. He’s never publicly commented in detail on the sequence of events that evening, and has declined to discuss the lawsuit. “I wish he hadn’t gotten out of the car, more than anybody,” Pamela Ward said of her son’s actions. “But I also acknowledge the fact that if Tony would have stayed low on the track and not gunned his engine and headed for my son, my son would still be here.” Meet From Page 1B Obviously the communities, schools and administrators are happy with these recent developments, and the head coaches of each program are pretty much on the same level with everyone else. Jerrod Sparling enters his fifth season as Raiders head Sunday Times-Sentinel coach. He’s endured two different leagues during his tenure at RVHS, but says this is the closest thing to a rivalry game that he has known while leading the Silver and Black. “It’s really exciting for us in a lot of ways. We always felt like the odd man out in the OVC because we were so far away from everyone else locationwise,” Sparling said. “We’ve never really felt like we’ve had Ron Schwane | AP Cleveland Browns quarterbacks Josh McCown (13) and Johnny Manziel (2) warm up Thursday before an NFL preseason game between the Browns and the Washington Redskins in Cleveland. McCown doesn’t view Manziel as a threat, but as a teammate to teach. The veteran quarterback was signed by Cleveland to stabilize the position and help Manziel after his turbulent rookie season. So far, the plan has been flawless. line. He just showed tonight that he’s the ultimate professional.” Rewind to a year ago when Brian Hoyer and Manziel were locked in a day-to-day competition to win Cleveland’s starting job. There was tension as Hoyer, the hometown kid playing for family and a new contract, tried to hold off the former Heisman Trophy winner. It wasn’t healthy — for anyone — and the Browns recognized they couldn’t have a repeat this summer. On Friday, Pettine said he hasn’t wavered from putting McCown No. 1 on the depth chart. Against the Redskins, McCown finished 5 of 5 for 33 yards and threw a touchdown pass in his only series with Cleveland’s first-team offense. But even on the sideline, McCown kept working. “He was poised, focused,” Pettine said. “He was into it. Even after that series, the whole rest of the game, he had the ear piece in, he knew the call, taking the mental reps on the side- a true rivalry in either the OVC or even now in the TVC Ohio. For something local and this close to home, it is something really exciting for our program and allows the county to take pride in its kids. It’s something that all of these kids are going to remember forever.” Second-year GAHS head coach Josh Riffe agrees with his counterpart that the kids will really enjoy taking part in this matchup and these memories. He also hopes that this Week 2 game is just the beginning of something that won’t disappear anytime soon. “It is big for the community as a whole and is a game that should be played every year,” Riffe said. “The players are excited to get to play against guys that they know off the field, which adds an extra amount of rivalry to this game.” The other added feature to this Week 2 contest is that it will be played on a Saturday night, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Not only does Saturday night allow the other Gallia County school district (South Gallia) the opportunity to take in the game, but it also allows most of the surrounding areas to come and be part of the event.

ABOVE RIGHT, Vinton Furnace Experimental State Park training center. AT LEFT, this butterfly enjoys the benefits of a healthy sunflower. Woodland, prairie pollinators abound By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — In the past, prairies and meadows dotted Ohio’s landscape and provided a natural habitat for butterflies and insects. These pollinators have an important role in the ecosystem, that of moving pollen while collecting nectar. An estimated three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants depend on pollinators to reproduce. With their habitat threatened by human expansion and pesticides, many are disappearing from the landscape. Long-term population trends have seen a decline in pollinators. An example is the estimated 50 percent decrease in adult Monarch butterflies in Ohio. At Vinton Furnace State Experimental Forest, named for the Vinton Iron Furnace, a charcoal furnace built on the property in 1854 to produce iron from local ores, researches are dedicated to restoring Ohio’s diverse ecosystems. Their efforts involve creating and improving pollinator habitat across the state and increasing conservation awareness. Four miles off the main road in Vinton County near McArthur, the drive to the training center winds through the 12,089-acre forest. Considered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry to be one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the United States, the area has been dedicated for forest use and sustainability research since 1952. The collaboration between Mead Corp., the forest’s previous owner, and the USDA Forest Service provided more than 50 years of ongoing forest research. The data collected has been cited in hundreds of scholarly papers on forest ecology, forest management and wildlife. Now owned by the Ohio Department of Forestry, the site continues to be used for research and is open to the public. Hiking trails and campgrounds offer visitors the opportunity to explore and enjoy this forest. The Education and Demonstration Subcommittee of the Vinton Furnace State Forest offers a “2nd Friday Series” that provides an opportunity for Ohioans to learn how Courtesy photos This sign designates a Wildlife Area. ABOVE, bumblebees serve an important role in pollination. AT LEFT, butterflies thrive on flowers that have multiple sources of nourishment like this zinnia. FAR LEFT, monarch butterflies are attracted to milkweed flowers. important open areas and forest habitats are to native species of plants, animals and insects. According to OSU Forestry and Natural Resource Specialist David Apsley, the forest is a special and unique place. “Two-thirds of Ohio’s forests are in the southern part of the state and there were very few programs for the people in those areas.” Ansley said. “And what better place to do so than in Vinton Furnace State Experimental Forest.” The program is presented with support from the Ohio State Extension Agent David Ansley, the University Extension, ODNR-Divisions of Forestry and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Vinton County Soil and Water Conservation District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Hocking College, National Wild Turkey Federation, Glatfelter and Ohio’s SFI Implementation Committee. This week’s topic for the “2nd Friday Series” featured woodland and prairie pollinators. With prairies, meadows and other open spaces currently filled with blooming flowers, it was a good time for participants to see butterflies and bees in their natural habitat. Marci Lininger, from the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, presented information on the project. The goal of the Initiative is to educate the public and assist with creating habitats. Lands can be public or private properties and are part of a large-scale effort to reclaim areas that are currently underused. Ways of promoting the Initiative are community outreach, education, coaching and training through visual presentation and workshops centering on habitat creation, conservation and management. The group is developing a partner list, a network of people who can help advise groups or individuals interested in establishing a prairie or meadow. The effort takes strategic planning to ensure the viability of such areas. “It needs to be a group effort to make it happen,“ Lininger said. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is responsive to the development of these areas, and has some already in place. One is in Ross County on State Route 207, where two acres of native grass has been planted. Licking County has one in progress on State Route 13. While the effort requires changing mowing schedules and spot herbicides instead of mass spraying, the trade-off is less mowing and spraying during the year for the department. It is a process to establish the prairies and the area may not look good during the first few years of planting. Sometimes there is public push-back. “It can look like an unmowed area instead of a habitat in progress and so there are complaints,” Lininger said. A participant in the group posed the question, “As I drive by an area, how would I know if I were seeing a prairie in process as opposed to a site that isn’t mowed?” “There is signage,” Lininger responded. “Signs are posted that say “Prairie in Progress.” There is a four-year visual representation when an area is established, and the signage will say ‘Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative’ and list who partners with the initiative.” She encourages people to call ODOT if they like what they are seeing. Lininger closed by saying,”This project can be a winner for everyone involved.” Wildlife biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Jennifer Finfera, presented photos of butterflies found in Ohio. She shared examples of the diversity of the butterfly population in the state and encouraged participants to establish their own record and collect data of observed specimens.

Pedro and Dana Jolley Meadows said that employees at Buckeye REC continually strive to keep operating costs low. She made a comparison of operating costs for 2007 and 2014 and found that controllable expenses increased by less than 5 percent during that period, almost half of which can be attributed to right of way clearing expenses. In addition to keeping costs down, Buckeye REC was able to return more than $1.5 million in capital credits in 2014, Meadows said. Meadows said that the cost of wholesale power has increased by more than 50 percent since Buckeye Power, the generation and transmission cooperative jointly owned by Buckeye REC and the other distribution cooperatives across Ohio, has invested approximately $1 billion in environmental controls at Cardinal Station, its power plant, as well as an additional $300 million at the Kyger Creek and Clifty Creek plants to comply with requirements from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “As a result, we now have one of the cleanest coal-fired generating plants in the world,” Meadows said. Craig Grooms, vice president of market operations for Buckeye Power and for Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives, the statewide association of electric cooperatives, also addressed the crowd, making reference to other recent actions by the EPA with potential future impact on members’ bills. On Aug. 3, the EPA released its Clean Power Plan, containing the final rules calling for a reduction by 2030 of carbon dioxide levels by 32 percent, compared to 2005 levels. The plan is targeted at existing power plants and takes a multi-block approach by increasing the efficiency of coal plants and by increasing the amount of electricity generated by natural gas combined cycle plants and by renewable energy sources. “As we all know, the end-use consumer of electricity will have to pay the bill for all of this,” Grooms said. Among the many concerns BP and OREC have over the EPA’s plan is whether the EPA has the legal authority to issue a rule that attempts to regulate the entire electric industry. “Also, we’re concerned about the costs of transitioning away from power plants that have multiple decades of useful operation life left to new resources that aren’t as reliable or cost-effective,” Grooms said. After the $1 billion investment in pollution control equipment to meet other EPA regulations, “for them to force new costs on to the distribution co-op members is not fair,” he said. “While we’re still reviewing the new rule, it’s likely that we’ll need your help to get the message out that affordable and reliable electricity is of great importance and that implementing these new rules will come with great costs and few benefits,” Grooms said. Buckeye REC serves more than 18,600 members in parts of Athens, Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton counties. Sunday Times-Sentinel Celebrating 50 years of Older Americans Act This year marks an important milestone in the history of how our country supports its older citizens. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Older Americans Act (OAA) into law in July 1965. Over the past 50 years, the OAA has provided the nation with programs that allow millions of older Pamela Americans to continue living and K. Matura thriving in the communities of their Contributing choice for as long as possible. Columnist Through a national network of aging services and funding, the OAA offers a wide range of supports, including homedelivered and congregate meals, caregiver support, preventive health services, transportation, job training, and elder abuse prevention. While the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) provides these types of services to older adults year-round, this anniversary offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the home and community-based services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities. The aging network throughout the country serves an average of 11 million people per year. According to the Administration for Community Living, over a five year period, the aging network provided over 130 million rides to doctors’ offices, grocery stores and other essential places; more than 1 billion meals served; over 60 million hours of homemaker services; nearly 20 million hours of case management, over 30 million hours of respite care; almost 248 million hours of community service; and more than 1.5 million individual consultations to long-term care residents and their families. Locally, the AAA7 can provide individuals with more information about these types of services and assist the community with determining eligibility requirements and understanding more about the resources available in their area that promote safe and independent living. The AAA7 covers ten counties in southern Ohio including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Depending upon eligibility, income and other factors, services can be paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, other federal and state resources, as well as private pay. Through a phone call and in-home assessment at no-cost, a specially-trained AAA7 nurse or social worker can engage in an in-depth conversation to help determine the needs of the individual, what they are eligible for, and what programs and services are available in the community to best support their health, safety and well-being.
