Cheshire village cracks down on speeders
By Michael Johnson

michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com

CHESHIRE — It’s been called
“speed trap,” a “money machine” and
a “racket.”
But no matter what it’s called,
there’s a new watchful eye in this
small village in northern Gallia County — and it’s watching for speeders
along Ohio 7.
The village installed a DLS-10S
portable trailer system. Basically, it’s
a speed enforcement system that issues tickets to motorists who exceed
a speed limit determined by its operator. The system tracks the speed
of passing motorists via laser tech-

nology that covers both lanes of Ohio
7. Two cameras are mounted atop the
portable unit that also covers both
lanes.
During a recent meeting of the
Cheshire village council, a few area
residents turned out to voice their
opposition to the portable traffic device.
Mike Hagy, of Cheshire, said
he’s concerned about the traffic
camera, which is in an area with a
posted speed limit of 35 mph.
“I don’t see the need to slow
down to 35 (mph) because where
all the houses are, it speeds back
up to 50 (mph). To me, (the traffic
camera) is giving the town that we

have a terrible black eye,” he said.
“Everybody that I’ve talked to calls
it a speed trap.”
And as the name implies, the portable trailer system can be moved anywhere the village council sees fit. At
the moment, it’s currently positioned
where Ohio 7 and Ohio 554 meet —
in front of the Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency building.
Fines for speeding through the
traffic camera are $100, but the ticket
doesn’t show up on a driver’s record,
according to information Hagy said

Man wanted for robbing
Amish arraigned in court

University of Rio Grande Class of 2014 students celebrate earning their Bachelor’s Degrees during Rio Grande’s
138th Commencement on Saturday in the Lyne Center on the Rio Grande campus.

addresses the Class of 2014 at the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Community College during the 138th
Commencement ceremony on Saturday.

RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Community College celebrated its
Class of 2014 with its 138th Commencement on Saturday.
The ceremony honored 391
graduates who earned 413 degrees
— 219 associate degrees, 158
bachelor’s degrees and 36 master’s
degrees.
“This is an achievement that
represents hard work and accomplishment,” said keynote speaker
and Ohio Supreme Court Justice
Judi French. “I feel honored to have
shared this day with you. I hope
it is one of many you will enjoy
throughout your professional life.”

The ceremony was held inside
the Lyne Center on the Rio Grande
campus due to rain. But while
Mother Nature darkened the sky,
Rio’s graduates shined bright with
friends and family there to celebrate
their wonderful accomplishment.
Commencement also included
the reading of the class poem, a tradition of Rio Grande President Dr.
Barbara Gellman-Danley. The president’s 2014 poem was titled “Ride
The Rainbow,” a fitting tribute on a
rainy day in southeastern Ohio.
“I believe life is a rainbow — celebrate its beauty. Embracing opportunities is actually your duty,”
Gellman-Danley said. “You’ve done
that by committing to earn your
degree. For the rest of your lives, it
can set you free.”

GALLIPOLIS — A man wanted for robbing a local Amish store at gunpoint nearly two
years ago recently appeared in the Common
Pleas Court of Gallia County this past week to
face armed robbery charges.
Zebulun S. Lane, 34, of Huntington, for- Zebulun S.
merly of Portsmouth, recently appeared be- Lane
fore Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans and
pleaded not guilty to one count of robbery, a second degree felony
— a charge with a gun specification.
According to the report filed with the Gallia County Sheriff’s
Office, deputies were dispatched to Yoder Lumber, located in Walnut Township, at approximately 7 a.m. on May 14, 2012, after
receiving a call of an alleged armed robbery.
Upon arrival, the victim reported that two males, one a thin,
white male and the other a tall, black male wearing hoodies, had
robbed him as one of the men wielded a large revolver. The men
reportedly got away with a brief case containing checks written
out by the business for deposit, as well as a approximately $200 in
cash and a handgun of an unknown make or model.
The men reportedly fled north on Ohio 775 in a small, fourdoor, black car with no license plates.
While in route, deputies reportedly took various routes to the
location to intercept the vehicle, but had no luck.
An indictment in this case was later filed against Lane on Sept.
12, 2013, following a lengthy investigation into this case and a
warrant was issued for the defendant’s arrest.
The indictment specifies that Lane, on May 14, 2012, in “attempting or committing a theft offense, or in fleeing immediately
after the attempt or offense, did have a deadly weapon or dangerous ordinance on or about his person or under his control.”
According to court documents, Lane was arrested on this warrant on indictment until earlier this month.
During his arraignment hearing this past week, Lane appeared
with his retained counsel William Conley and pleaded not guilty
to the charge against him. A $20,000, own-recognizance bond,
with an additional bond of $1,500, 10 percent secured was set in
this case and Lane was later released from the Gallia County Jail.
Lane is scheduled to make his next court appearance on June
24 in relation to this case. A negotiated plea agreement may be
filed with the clerk of courts by July 25 and a jury trial has been
set for Aug. 26.
No information on the other alleged assailant described by the
victim in this case has been made available.

Man confesses to killing soldier from Ohio
By Amanda Lee Myers
Associated Press

CINCINNATI — A man
in Iraqi custody has confessed to killing a U.S. soldier whose remains were
found in 2008, four years
after he was kidnapped
by insurgents and a video
showed him surrounded by
armed captors, an Army
spokeswoman told The Associated Press on Friday.
A hearing in the case is
set for Tuesday in an Iraqi

killing Sgt. Matt Maupin

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio
(AP) — Trustees at
Youngstown State University voted Friday to offer
the president’s job to former Ohio State football
coach Jim Tressel, who
started his college coaching career there.
Tressel could not immediately be reached for comment. School spokesman
Ron Cole said the appointment won’t be official until
a contract is signed. The
board chairman and vice
chairman were authorized
to begin negotiations.
Tressel became a popu-

lar figure in the area while
coaching
Youngstown
State’s football team from
1986 to 2000, a run that
included four Division I-AA
national titles, and serving
as the Penguins’ athletic director for part of that time.
In picking the school’s
next leader, trustees chose
the
61-year-old
Tressel over the president of
Southern Oregon University and the chancellor of
the University of North
Carolina Wilmington.
“After fully examining
each and every candidate
and reviewing the input

from hundreds of individuals across the campus and
the community, the Board
of Trustees believes Mr.
Tressel is the right individual at the right time to lead
Youngstown State University,” board chairman Sudershan Garg said in a statement. “Mr. Tressel has the
personality and leadership
skills, in addition to widespread community support,
to dramatically raise YSU’s
profile and prominence
across Ohio and the nation.”
Tressel recently was a finalist for but was not chosen to be president at the

Feds to probe Akron officer’s videos
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Federal authorities have
agreed to re-examine whether
a former Akron police officer
broke any laws when he used
a pen camera clipped to his
shirt pocket to record arrests
and other police activities.
Donald Schismenos, 47,
used the pen camera and a
dashboard camera to record
thousands of hours of video
and audio, along with photographs, that were found on
a police computer system in
July 2011. Schismenos was
placed on paid leave the following month and resigned in
December 2013.
The discovery of the files led
to investigations by Akron police, the Summit County prosecutor’s office and the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Investigation, along with reviews by the
FBI and U.S. attorney’s office
in Cleveland. No disciplinary action was taken against
Schismenos and no criminal
charges were filed.
The latest investigation

comes at the request of Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic,
who in a statement referred
to Schismenos’ recordings
as “rogue actions.” Akron
ministers complained about
Schismenos’ activities after
a series of articles about the
former officer appeared in
the Akron Beacon Journal.
Schismenos used the
pen camera to not only record police activities but
also discussions with colleagues and court proceed-

ings, including one in federal court where recording
devices are not permitted,
a county official said.
According to the Akron
Beacon Journal, investigators found nearly 2,000 videos and 38,000 images that
Schismenos had uploaded to
police computers. The files
were found after the computer system began acting
sluggish because Schismenos’ files took up one-third
of its storage capacity.

University of Akron, where
he has been an administrator for two years. He took
the job after being forced
out at Ohio State following
a scandal in which players
sold memorabilia for cash
and tattoos, leading to an
investigation that resulted
in sanctions against the
team and Tressel.
While making his pitch

for the president’s job to
faculty, staff and students
at Youngstown State, he
told reporters he was
not planning to return to
coaching and would accept his next position with
the understanding that it
would be long-term.
The faculty union at
Youngstown State supported his bid to be president.

The 13,500-student school
launched its search for a
new leader after President
Randy Dunn accepted a
job leading the Southern
Illinois University system.
Tressel received a bachelor’s degree in education
from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1975 and a master’s
degree in education from the
University of Akron in 1977.

and the look on Galarraga’s face when
Joyce proclaimed Donald safe told it all.
Joyce acknowledged his gaffe and made
a very public apology to Galarraga, who
was never really the same after that. Up to
that point, Galarraga was considered one
of the better pitchers in the majors. He’s
now pitching in the Chinese Professional
Baseball League in Taiwan.
I love that instant replay will — hopefully — eliminate any future instances of
incorrect calls costing someone a chance
to place their name in the history book
or keep a team from winning a championship. And because of all the camera at
ballparks these days, baseball has become
much calmer because of it.
Maybe I’m just old-school and too accustomed to watching the game played the
way it used to be played. I grew up in an
era when the Sparky Andersons, Earl Weavers and Billy Martins of the world weren’t
afraid to kick up a little dust and go noseto-nose with the ump — and get thrown
out of a game or two — in defense of their
players on what they felt were “bad” calls.
Change is difficult and, I suppose, I will
grow to like it more as time wears on. At least
we still have YouTube to watch the good-old
days of manager-umpire confrontations.

Letter to The Editor
SWCD seeks help
from local churches
Dear editor,
A big thank you goes to the area churches for reaching out to the community in so
many ways already.
The Gallia Soil and Water Conservation
District is coordinating Farm City Day for
Saturday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Our theme is “Gallia County Harvest: Sustainable Living,” and some of the possible
topics will be gardening, preserving food,
pollinator friendly pesticides, a bluebird trail
along OOMPD’s walking trail, flower bulb
exchange, kids’ activities, free food, etc.
We would love to have you join us that
day. We need your help to make this event
successful again. If your church could help
by donating pies or help serve the pies for
this event, that would be fabulous. Last year,
they guessed about 500 people were in attendance, so we estimate the need of 63 pies.
There will be other organizations setting
up displays and you are welcome to do so,
too. Just let us know what size table you are
bringing or how much space you need. We
will try to send out more information as it
becomes available.
Call 446-6173 for more information.
Thanks so much for being a part of the event!

Imagining the ‘unimaginable’ all too common
By Michael N. Nagler
The quiet town of Waseca,
Minn., narrowly avoided becoming
“one more in a long list of school
shootings” (I will come back to
this language of the CNN report).
A boy, 17 years old, had plotted to
kill his family and bomb the town’s
junior and senior high school, to
“kill as many students as possible”
and then be killed by a SWAT-team.
Thank God a neighbor caught
on to his suspicious behavior and
called the police. It turns out he
had already planted a couple of
crude bombs in neighborhood playgrounds that, by grace or good fortune, did not go off.
Throughout the coverage of the
boy’s nick-of-time arrest, the expression used by one police officer
became a refrain: we have averted
an “unimaginable tragedy.”
But the problem is, it was all too
imaginable.
Teenagers in particular —
though not they alone — spend

more hours consuming media
than they ever did in school, more
than they spend hanging out with
friends or in any kind of human
interaction. This would be harmful
even if the content of those media
were not so disturbing, so damaging to the human image.
The choice seems to be violence,
sex, or both (and sex, the loveless
way that it’s presented in most of
these formats, is just another form
of violence). By contrast, most examples of a potentially uplifting alternative, where human beings are
presented with dignity and their
connectedness acknowledged —
the would-have-been reality check
on all this alienating stuff — are
sappy and unrealistic.
This is new in human evolution.
Our ancestors would sometimes
listen to war epics at an annual
festival, but we are putting the fire
of artless violence in our minds upwards of five hours a day.
Once we’ve made violence imaginable, and for some an idée fixe

which at some point they can’t
help acting out, we also make sure
the tools of violence are readily
available. Anyone can learn how
to make a bomb on the Internet;
we have become a nation armed
against itself, full of people who harbor weapons in a desperate attempt
to find some meaning and some security — which, as we almost saw
yet again last week in Minnesota,
has the opposite effect.
And so for this 17-year-old,
who idolized the mass murderers
of Virginia Tech, Columbine and
Newtown, such violence was all
too imaginable. And for how many
others? In a nation where CNN can
almost off-handedly refer to “one
more in a long list of school shootings,” how can children feel safe in
their schools?
And if they cannot feel safe, how
can they learn?
On the whole, I think we would almost be better off not even hearing
about those massacres; but that is
not what I’m advocating. Of course,

we have to read about these horrors,
but we also have to learn from them
— and from the relentless scientific
studies that show how media violence and, for that matter, the mere
image of weapons, makes people
more aggressive. And, for that matter, from our own experiences.
When I was very young, and had
already seen my share of cowboy
and gangster movies, I had a bad
dream one night that I was being
chased by a fiendish giant. But I
somehow had a gun, and turning
around I frantically pulled the trigger. Nothing. Click, click. It was a
dud. At that point I woke up, but I
remember to this day how I would
have given anything in that dream
moment for a gun that worked.
So I sympathize with the fears of
gun owners, and I can sympathize
with the hunger of television and
movie viewers, with video game
players who may be seeking some
excitement from the drab realities
of everyday life or giving themselves the feeling that violence will

make them strong and protected.
But the difference is, I woke up.
I call out to gun lobbyists and gun
buyers, to movie producers and
viewers of media where the human
image is degraded and mayhem extolled, to wake up from their nightmarish fascination with violence.
Maybe a kind of awakening is beginning. Former New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg is setting up
a $50 million fund to counteract
some of the political muscle of the
NRA, which is an interesting first
step. But most politicians, when in
office, are apparently unprepared to
listen to this kind of reason. When
that happens, it is opportune to
start small — simply don’t expose
yourself to violent media and try to
live in trust instead of fear.
We make a difference as individuals, and we must make our difference in the right direction.

come a professional in the
art of cooking over a fire.
Not that it requires great
skill with 18 boy scouts, as
they will pretty much each
bark if you fry it and put
ketchup on it. But I prided
myself on the many hours of
outdoor cooking experience
I had, and the many recipes
I had grown proficient in
cooking over an open flame.
I had never used a gas
grill, but I knew it couldn’t
be much different than a
campfire, except, perhaps, a
thousand times easier. After
all, the temperature could be
controlled with the turn of a
knob. On a campfire, the
heat is controlled by careful
placement of wood so as not
to get it too hot. I had mastered this as well as it could
be mastered, and I was excited to turn those skills to
a gas grill.
I was determined to make
it a meal my family would
always remember. I started
preparations the day before.
I bought some of the leanest
cuts of steak and marinated
them overnight. Though
they cost half our week’s
grocery budget, I figured
that, for this historic occasion, it would be worth it.
When the day arrived, I
cut potatoes into wedges
and brushed them with oil
and a slight bit of garlic
salt. I sliced onions, tomatoes, peppers and other
vegetables to fry. Once I had

everything ready, I prepared
to light the grill.
It was one of those fancy
kinds where you just push
the button and it fires up.
I turned on the gas and hit
the button, but nothing happened. I punched the button
about 50 times like I was trying to surf to a channel that
would light, but all to no
avail. I checked the wire and
found that when I had put
the rest of the grill together,
I had missed connecting the
wire to the sparker.
I climbed under the grill
to rectify my error. It was
an easy fix, and I soon had
it connected. I stood up in
front of the grill and hit the
button. Since the gas had
been on the whole time I had
been working on the switch,
a ball of fire shaped like a
micro atomic bomb shot out
of the grill, and evaporated
my eyebrows and helped my
already receding hair line recede further.
Undaunted, I entered the
house to retrieve the food
I had prepared. When my
wife saw my changed appearance, she kindly asked
if I wouldn’t prefer she cook
everything on the stove.
I laughed. “Are you kidding? This is going to be
great!”
I loaded the main level of
the grill with steak, and the
upper rack with potatoes
and other vegetables. I had
no sooner done so than a

wind came up and blew out
the fire. I turned the knob up
slightly and relit it. Again,
the wind blew out the fire.
I turned the knob up a lot,
and relit it once more.
The wind kept blowing
the flame all over the place,
so I closed the lid. I realized
I had forgotten the long
fork and tongs I had purchased to use with the grill,
so I went inside to retrieve
them. Unaware that my
smallest daughters had decided my new grilling tools
were toys for their sandbox,
I hunted for them in vain for
quite some time. Finally, in
desperation, I grabbed a regular fork and a spatula, and
headed back outside.
The smell that filled the
air around the grill was
something akin to a possum caught in a forest fire.
Even the dog was laying
on the ground covering his
nose. I opened the lid and it
released a large burst of billowing black smoke.
I reached the short table
fork in to turn the charcoal
steaks, and the fire removed
any semblance of hair from
my arm. I turned the knob
to reduce the flame, and
the fire went out. I quickly
turned the steaks, and relit
the fire. I spent a frustrating
hour turning knobs and restarting the fire, but finally,
I decided the steaks were
done.
As we sat down to eat,

one of my small children
complained. “Daddy, I don’t
want to eat the black part!”
I told them they could eat
what they were served or
they could go without dessert.
“Did you make the dessert on the grill, too?” one
of my teenage daughters
asked. “If so, I would probably be good with not having any.”
Everyone else laughed at
her unfunny joke, but I held
firm. However, when we cut
into the first steak, as black
as it was on the outside, it
was red enough on the inside to still moo. Defeated,
I scraped off what charcoal
I could and stuck them all in
the oven. I helped my wife
fix up some more potatoes,
and we loaded them in the
oven as well.
Finally, an hour or so later,
we again sat down to some
semblance of a meal. When
we finished, and my mother
was on her way home, she
summed up everyone’s feelings quite succinctly.
“Well, when you get that
grill figured out, feel free to
invite me back for dinner.”

Cheshire
From Page A1
For each $100 ticket
issued by the camera,
Cheshire keeps $60 while
the remaining $40 goes
to OptoTraffic, the company through which the
Cheshire council purchased the camera.
Hagy questioned what
the council do with the
money generated from the
tickets.
“They go to improve the
roads, mowing, blacktop
for the roads, mosquito
spraying,” said Cheshire
Mayor Roy Allen Taylor.
Taylor said according to
statistics provided by OptoTraffic, 105,000 vehicles
pass through Cheshire
each day. The traffic camera, he said, has clocked
many drivers passing
through the 35 mph zone
from as little as 49 mph to
as much as 69 mph.
Why such a difference
between 35 mph and 49
mph? The village set a
13 mph “buffer” — the
aforementioned “predetermined” speed limit — before the traffic camera will
issue a speeding ticket,
but village officials say
that will change soon once
people get used to the camera’s presence.
The camera operates on
a two-laser beam system.
Dorian Grubach, a representative from OptoTraffic, said the laser covers
both lanes of traffic. If a
driver exceeds the camera’s predetermined speed
threshold, the camera

takes a photo of the offending vehicle’s rear license
plate.
Tickets are issued by OptoTraffic, which retrieves
the information on each
speeding motorists. Tickets are signed by a certified
police officer elsewhere in
Ohio. No member of local
law enforcement signs the
tickets that are issued by
the system, Grubach said.
The camera system was
first installed March 5. Between that date and April
30, about 1,600 tickets
have been issued, according to Taylor, who retrieved his statistics from
information provided by
OptoTraffic.
“It’s a racket,” Hagy said.
“It’s a speed trap. That’s all
there is to it.”
Hagy said he doesn’t like
the idea of cameras issuing
traffic tickets based on the
Sixth Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution.
“I believe it says we have
the right to face our accuser,” he said. “This is a
camera. How does it know
I was even driving the vehicle? I got one; that’s why
I’m here.”
Hagy said his ticket was
the result of driving about
50 mph in Cheshire’s 35
mph zone.
Rich Haft, of Gallipolis, said he drives through
Cheshire every day en
route to his job in Athens.
He told the council he has
received three tickets.
“My first one was March
16, March 19 and March
24,” he said. “Do you know

when I received them?
April 12 … in the mail … all
in the same day.”
Haft said he was ticketed for driving 49 mph in
the 35 mph zone at about
5:30 a.m. on one of the
aforementioned mornings.
“I’ve been driving to
Athens for 15 years. There
have been sheriff’s deputies and state troopers
posted there and I’ve never
had a ticket.”
Hagy and Haft both said
they don’t plan to pay their
speeding fines.
“To me, this is nothing more than a money
machine for your village,”
Haft said.
Grubach said people
who don’t pay their fines
risk being reported to a
credit bureau or having
their driving privilege revoked.
“The arguments I am
hearing from everyone is
that it’s no big deal to drive
fast through here,” he said.
“The village has said there
have been a number of accidents and they can only
afford so many hours of law
enforcement each month.
Where there are cameras,
accidents go between 20
percent to 30 percent.”
“I’ve asked the village to
put one (of the portable
cameras) on my street,”
said village council member Mandee Roush, “because people fly ridiculous
speeds and my daughter
was almost hit in our yard
— and that is a residential
street. (The camera’s current location) is on a main

thoroughfare.”
Roush said she doesn’t
understand the argument
for driving faster through

the area, with or without a
camera.
“As far as it being a
speed trap and being a
money maker for our village … this isn’t about
trapping local people. It’s
about the law … the posted
speed limit,” she said. “Basically people are saying,
‘Well, I’ve driven 60 mph
through here forever and
it’s never cost me a penny,
and people just need to
say out of our way.’ That’s
ridiculous. Why shouldn’t
the village benefit from
people who drive these ridiculous speeds?”
Hagy and Haft each challenged the legality of cameras taking photographs of
speeding drivers, but Ohio
law currently allows it as
long as two provisions are
met: There must be signage on all roads entering
a jurisdiction employing
such devices alerting driv-

ers to a camera’s presence;
and at an intersection
where a red-light camera is
in operation, the yellow (or
amber) light time must be
increased by one second.
There is current draft
legislation sponsored by
state Sen. Kevin Bacon,
R-District 3, to regulate
the use of traffic law photo-monitoring devices by
standardizing the use of
red light and speed enforcement cameras. The
proposed legislation would
allow all townships in Ohio
to implement automated
enforcement programs.
Roush
said
people
will get the hint about
Cheshire’s speed limits
once they receive a ticket
in the mail.
“People will eventually get the point that (the
camera) is there for a reason,” she said.

Soldier
From Page A1
judge refused to name the suspect or give more information about him and said no date had been set for the new
trial.
If the man confessed in 2009, Maupin’s father, Keith
Maupin, didn’t know about it.
Keith Maupin, 63, of Cincinnati, said that an official
with the Army’s Office of the Judge Advocate called him
six weeks ago to tell him about the confession.
“It was truly a surprise. I figured it was going to go
away,” he said. “It won’t change what happened, but this
guy will have to be held accountable soon. … If that means
he’s put to death then so be it.”
Maupin said he will travel to Washington, D.C., to attend Tuesday’s hearing via video teleconference and will
ask U.S. officials for more details about the man.
Maupin, who had fought for years to find out what happened to his son, said seeing his killer meet justice isn’t
about revenge.
“They can’t hurt him no more and that’s what’s important to me,” he said.

Wolfe signs with
IUPUI swim team
River Valley senior Trenton Wolfe will be continuing his swimming career after signing with Division I Indiana UniversityPurdue University of Indianapolis recently. Wolfe’s times
drew the attention of the Jaguar coaches early in the season.
However, his second place finish in the 100 freestyle along
with his fourth place 200 freestyle at Ohio’s High School State
Championship meet, solidified the deal. Wolfe is a four-time
state qualifier at the Ohio High School D-2 State Championships. His four trips to the podium as a top-8 finalist make him
the most decorated swimmer coming out of River Valley to
date. Trenton’s 100 freestyle time at the D2 Ohio High School
Championship earned him the honor of Academic All American
by the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association of America. While over 342,786 students are involved in
aquatics at the high school level in over 15,824 boys and girls
programs in the nation, only two percent of these students
reach All American status. Wolfe is pictured with his parents
Keith and Cindy Wolfe on his left. On Trenton’s right are his
USA club coaches Tom and Heidi Blodgett, who have coached
Trenton since he began swimming at age 5.

the high school level in her 200 and 500 freestyle events,

The center of the 2013 Meigs offensive line, Blaine Perry, committed to join the Marietta College football team next season.
“It’s close to home, my coaches really liked it and I feel like I have a good chance to play there,” Blaine Perry said on his decision. “Meigs was more like a family this year, we really bonded.” Perry was a special mention All-Southeast District selection
this past season and he helped Meigs to a 7-3 record, the best record of the Maroon and Gold since 2008. “My expectation for
him is to be a starter within one or two years,” MHS head coach Mike Bartrum said. “Marietta has a good program, all these
D-3, D-2 schools do. That’s football, and they’re getting their education which is the most important thing.” Blaine currently
holds a 2.89 GPA at MHS and is 52nd in the senior class. Perry will be an education major at Marietta College. Pictured, sitting
in the front from left, are Vernon Perry, Blaine Perry and Jesse Metzger. Standing in the back are MHS principal Steve Ohlinger,

Marauders’ multi-sport standout Damon
Jones signed his letter of intent to join
the Muskingum University football team
next season. “Coach Bartrum and Coach
Willford got my name out there and one
day I got a call from Coach Logan,” said
Jones,” He came down here and visited us
and then I went up for a visit. I really liked
the community so I think its a good place
for me.” Jones earned a special mention
selection on the 2013 All-Southeast
District team and helped Meigs to its best
record since 2008. Damon was named
third team All-Southeast District for the
Marauder basketball team this past season. “Football is something I think I can
succeed at and play at the next level,” said
Jones. “There’s a lot of teamwork here, it’s
a big family thing and it means a lot to me
that these guys helped us be successful
enough for college coaches to look at us.
Without everybody on this team I wouldn’t
be where I am today.” Jones holds a 2.75
GPA and is ranked 67th in the class of
2014. Damon plans on majoring in Communications and minoring in psychology.
“Damon has really grown as a man,” said
MHS head coach Mike Bartrum. “He was
a boy that wasn’t making good decisions
and now he’s a man making really good
decisions and going on to play college
football.” Pictured, sitting in the front are
Damon Jones and Marauders coach Mike
Bartrum, while standing in the back row

BELPRE, Ohio — Sometimes all it takes is one.
The Southern softball team needed just one run Friday
night to take the shutout victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre.
It took nearly the entire game but the Lady Tornadoes
(14-4, 13-1 TVC Hocking) broke through in the top of the
seventh inning when Hannah Hill singled home Haley Hill
with one out. Belpre (6-17, 5-9) loaded the bases in the
bottom of the seventh but Southern survived the scare
and took the 1-0 triumph.
Jordan Huddleston earned the victory after allowing
just four hits in seven shutout innings, while striking out
eight and walking one. Dye suffered the loss after allowing one run on nine hits, while striking out three in seven
innings.
The Lady Tornado offense was led by Caitlyn Holter
and Hannah Hill with two hits each, while Baylee Hupp,
Haley Hill, Cierra Turley, Ali Deem and Huddleston each
had one hit. Haley Hill scored the lone run on the Hannah
Hill RBI. Haley led the way with two stolen bases, both
in the seventh inning, while Holter and Turley each had
one steal.
Elkins, Bell, Hager and Bennett each marked a hit for
the Lady Golden Eagles.
The Lady Tornadoes also defeated BHS on April 17, in
Racine, by a 15-0 count. This is the third one run victory
for SHS this season and the third shutout, including a
shutout win over Waterford on Thursday. The Purple and
Gold have won four straight games and seven of their last
eight, dating back to Easter. Belpre had won back-to-back
league games for the first time since April 5.

CHESHIRE, Ohio — A late
rally propels Fairland passed the
Lady Raiders.
The River Valley softball team
scored the first three runs of
Thursday night’s Ohio Valley
Conference tilt, but Fairland outscored the Silver and Black 9-1
over the remainder of the game

to take the 9-4 triumph.
The Lady Raiders (6-14, 3-5
OVC) scored twice in the opening inning, first when Chelsea
Copley scored on an error and
then when Alexis Hurt drove
home Libby Leach. Katie Mares
drove home Leach in the third
inning to extend the lead but
back-to-back two run innings
by FHS put the Lady Dragons
in control.

The Lady Dragons (8-10, 5-5
OVC) added five runs in the
sixth inning to push the lead to
9-3. Leach scored her third run
of the game in the bottom of the
seventh but Fairland took the 9-4
win.

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Party crashers.
Visiting Ripley spoiled senior night festivities for the
Point Pleasant baseball team
Thursday night following a
3-2 decision in a non-conference matchup in Mason
County.
The host Big Blacks (159) honored seniors Austen
Toler, Brycen Reymond,
Evan Potter, Nick Templeton, Levi Russell and Alex
Somerville for their collective years of service to the
program, but the Vikings
(19-11) managed to ruin the
fun after taking a 3-0 lead
through four complete.
Ripley plated two runs in
the third and added another
in the fourth, but PPHS
countered with two runs in
the fifth to close to within
3-2 after five complete. Neither team, however, scored
the rest of the way — allowing RHS to sneak away with
the slim one-run triumph.
Ripley outhit the hosts
by a 4-3 overall margin and

committed five errors in the
contest, compared to two errors by the Big Blacks. Point
Pleasant stranded 10 runners
on base, while the guests left
just five on the bags.
Austen Toler suffered the
setback after allowing two
earned runs and three walks
over seven innings while
striking out six. Easton Berry got the win after allowing
two runs, two hits and five
walks over 5.2 frames while
fanning eight. Luke Layhew
struck out one, walked one
and gave up one hit over 1.1
innings of work for the save.
Somerville, Potter and Russell each had one hit for Point
Pleasant. Russell drove in a
run and both Toler and Potter
scored once in the setback.
Chris Jordan and Johnny
Stepp each had two hits
for the Vikings. Stepp had
the team’s lone RBI, while
Berry, Trevor Tucker and
Cody Pittenger scored a run
apiece for the victors.
RHS salvaged a season
split as Point Pleasant won
the first matchup between
these teams at PPHS by a
10-9 count on March 31.

Harvick sets track record to win Kansas pole

#2J?2C5îH:56?Dî
(:G6CD:56î)6?:@CDî=625

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)
— Kevin Harvick has a second
straight shot at winning from the
pole at Kansas Speedway.
Harvick was back on top at the
1.5-mile track, posting a track record
to help propel him to his second
pole of the season. Harvick posted
his record 194.658 mph lap Friday
in the second round of NASCAR’s
knockout qualifying format. His No.
4 Chevrolet hit 194.252 in the third
round to give him two straight poles
at Kansas, after he won from the top
spot at October’s race.
“It was ‘Freaky Fast’ today, so
just have to put it all together
tomorrow night when it counts,”
Harvick said.
Harvick has two wins this season and won from the pole at Darlington. He will lead the field to
green Saturday under the lights
for the first time in a Sprint Cup
race at Kansas. Joey Logano
joined Harvick on the front row.
Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Kyle Larson rounded
out the top five.

Staff Report

MASON, W.Va. — Paul Maynard of Point Pleasant has
opened up a six-plus point lead after five weeks of play
at the first half of the 2014 Riverside Senior Men’s Golf
League being held every Tuesday at Riverside Golf Club
in Mason County.
Maynard has a total of 52.5 points after the latest round,
which puts him 6.5 points ahead of current runners-up
Charley Hargraves and Carl Cline — both of whom have
46 points.
A total of 63 players took part in Tuesday’s round,
which made 16 points possible with 15 foursomes and
one three-man squad. The quartet of Charley Hargraves,
Randall Thornhill, Phil Burgess and Chet Thomas posted
a winning score of 11-under par 59 on the day.
Second place went to the foursome of Carl Stone, John
Bumgarner, Cliff Rice and Dick Stone, who fired a 10-under par round of 60. Four teams tied for third with matching efforts of 7-under par 63.
The closest to the pin winners were Willis Dudding on
the ninth hole and Carl Cline on No. 14.
The current top-10 standings are as follows: Paul Maynard (52.5), Carl Cline and Charlie Hargraves (46.0), Cliff
Rice (42.5), Rudy Stewart and Albert Durst (42.0), Willis Korb (41.5), Russ Holland (41.0), Delson Keidaisch
(39.5) and Dale Miller (38.5).

His qualifying spins over, Keselowski worked hard defending
himself from drivers — like former champion Jimmie Johnson
— who said he didn’t need to
race so hard when he was out of
contention Sunday at Talladega
Superspeedway.
Keselowski fell six laps off the
pace while his car was repaired
from an earlier accident. When he
returned to the track, he decided
to race hard with the leaders in an
attempt to slowly get his laps back
and maybe put himself back in position to win.
Keselowski eventually spun in
the middle of the pack to trigger
a 14-car accident that wrecked
former champions Jeff Gordon,
Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and
Johnson.
“You have to think being six
laps down you are not going to
get back on the lead lap,” Johnson
said Friday. “There is an opinion,
if you are on the race track you
deserve a right to go race regardless how many laps down you are.

I’m sure that is probably a smaller
percentage of people have that
opinion. It’s very easy when you
are caught up in that wreck is to
go, ‘Why were you racing? You are
six laps down.’ It just depends on
where you are.”
Keselowski brushed off the
barbs from his rivals.
“That’s his right,” Keselowski
said. “We all hold the steering
wheel. There’s 43 of us out there
and we all hold it a little bit differently and make different decisions. It would be quite lame to
watch if we all did the same thing
and had the same ideas and personnas.
“I’d say in most cases, I probably wouldn’t have done it. But
in that case, I felt like it was the
proper thing to do with having
the potential to race the 1 car
(Jamie McMurray) and get back
in sequence. If we got back in sequence, we had enough speed in
our car, with yellows, to have a
shot at winning the race. I wasn’t
ready to give up.”

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
A day of celebration dissolved into confusion for
the Browns.
Hours after quarterback
Johnny Manziel’s arrival
had Cleveland’s football
pulse racing faster than it
had in years, a report that
star wide receiver Josh
Gordon may be facing an
indefinite suspension shattered the city’s collective
joy.
As the second round of
the NFL draft was set to
open Friday, ESPN reported that Gordon, who led
the NFL in yards receiv-

Q:

ing last season, had failed
another drug test for marijuana and could be banned
for a year. The ESPN report, based on anonymous
sources, described letters
the Pro Bowler received
about the failed test.
The Browns deferred
any comment on Gordon’s
situation to the league office. Gordon’s agent, Drew
Rosenhaus, declined comment.
Gordon was suspended
without pay for the first
two games last season
for violating the league’s
substance abuse policy

for the second time, but
still led the league with
1,646 yards receiving in 14
games. He had 87 catches
and nine touchdowns.
Gordon, who was taken
in the 2012 supplemental
draft, entered the league
with a history of substance
issues. He was excused
from Baylor’s team for
twice failing drug tests and
he also failed a test after
transferring to Utah.
The Browns have been
pleased with the easygoing
Gordon’s maturity and his
off-the-field progress. The
team had the 23-year-old

involved in many of their
offseason activities this
winter, including him in
meetings with free agents
and keeping him apprised
of their plans.
At last week’s voluntary mini-camp, first-year
Browns coach Mike Pettine praised Gordon for
his game-breaking abilities
and his willingness to accept his role with the team.
Gordon spoke to a small
group of reporters away
from the TV cameras and
said he was pleased to be
so entwined in the team’s
offseason regimen.

“It was actually big. I
was surprised by it,” Gordon said. “It was good to
have that camaraderie, we
never really had that before. Nobody really tried
to instill that in this group,
but hopefully that brings
us all together.”
Gordon was expected to
be the top playmaker for
either Manziel or incumbent starter Brian Hoyer.
It’s not known if the
Browns were aware of
Gordon’s possible ban before Thursday’s opening
round, when they traded
out of the No. 4, sending
that pick to Buffalo for the
No. 9 pick and a first- and
fourth-rounder in 2015.
Buffalo used the fourth selection on Clemson wide
receiver Sammy Watkins.
If Gordon is suspended,
the Browns are in big
trouble at wide receiver.
Greg Little and Nate Burleson would be the most
experienced players at the
position with newly signed
Andrew Hawkins at the
slot position.
Burleson underwent surgery last week to fix a plate
in the left arm he broke
in a car accident last year
when he was with Detroit.
“I’m just fine,” he said in
a text message to the AP.
“I had a minor surgery to
fix the plate in my arm so
I’ll be ready well before
training camp. If today
were the playoffs, I would
be playing.”
The Browns were expected to address their
depth at receiver before
the report on Gordon sur-

faced. But Cleveland went
in a different direction in
the second round, taking
Nevada offensive tackle
Joel Bitonio with the No.
35 overall pick.
At 6-foot-4, 302 pounds,
Bitonio can also play guard
and has been described as
“nasty.”
“I like to play hard,” he
said. “Football is played to
the whistle and you have
to play as hard as you can
every snap. If you can play
that hard every play, then
there’s a good chance that
if you’re equally talented
and use your technique
well, you’ll be able to
beat the guy you’re going
against. I want to play as
hard as I possibly can. I
know the AFC North is
a tough, hard-nosed division, and I hope I can a little bit of that to the team.”
The Browns passed over
wide receivers — seven
were drafted in the second round — again in the
third, when they selected
Iowa linebacker Christian Kirksey. The 6-foot-1,
233-pounder played outside
linebacker last season for
the Hawkeyes, but Cleveland’s coaching staff envisions him playing inside.
Later,
the
Browns
moved back into the third
round and picked Towson
State running back Terrance West. Cleveland sent
a fourth-rounder (No. 106)
and sixth-rounder (No.
180) to San Francisco for
the No. 94 pick to take
West, who rushed for
2,509 yards and 41 touchdowns last season.

VINTON — The Vinton Chapter of the Books and
Friends Book Club was notified last fall that the group
had won a copy of Justin Kramon’s new book, The Preservationist, along with a visit from the author himself.
Kramon arranged for members of the Vinton and Gallipolis chapters of the Books and Friends book clubs to
purchase hardback copies at a reduced cost. Kramon and
his wife, Lynn, were the guests of honor at the April 28
book club meeting held at the Common Grounds Café in
Vinton. Prior to the book discussion an Italian meal was
enjoyed by all.
The author opened the discussion with some background information about himself, including not only
what inspired him as a writer but also how he develops
book and character ideas. The many teachers and parents
in the room were happy to hear that he had been encouraged to read at an early age that inspired him to continue
reading, to love reading, and probably to eventually become a writer. He told the group that “reading opens up
paths for writing.”
The Preservationist is a page-turning psychological
thriller told in alternating points of view. The main characters are all dealing with loss but in dysfunctional ways.
The author pointed out to the group that there is irony at
the center of The Preservationist in that preservation and
destruction are opposite forces.
Justin Kramon is also the critically acclaimed author of
Finny and is a graduate of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop.
Justin has published several short stories and lives in
Philadelphia. You can learn more about his books at www.

A German shepherd, Lt. Col. Lexy, sits at the feet of Van Woodruff, former Sgt. 1st Class who received a medical retirement.
Therapy dogs like Lexy are changing the lives of U.S. Army soldiers being treated for physical and psychological injuries. Maj.
Christina Rumayor, a psychiatrist at the 82nd Airborne Division, says Lexy is one of her most important tools.

Dog helps troops deal with postwar stress
By Lolita C. Baldor
Associated Press

FORT BRAGG, N.C. —
After three deployments to
Iraq and three to Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Dennis Swols
is agitated, prone to bouts of
anger and unable to really
talk about his time on the
battlefield.
But as Swols sits in a
small office in the Robinson
Health Clinic at Fort Bragg,
his hand drops to the furry
head beside him and his
mood brightens. Settled at
his feet, Lexy, a 5-year-old
German shepherd, gives
Swols a few moments of distraction.
It’s her job. And, according to Swols, she’s good at it.
“I have a hard time talking
to people about my deployments and everything,” says
Swols, who is with the 82nd
Airborne’s 4th Brigade Combat Team. After taking part
in the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the march
into Baghdad in 2003, he’s
been diagnosed with posttraumatic stress. “But having her here, I just pet Lexy.

Or I’m just sitting here and
we won’t talk about deployments, we’ll just (talk) about
the dog. … My day is better
every time I come in.”
For 82nd Airborne psychiatrist Maj. Christine
Rumayor, Lexy is a partner, a conversation starter
and a living, breathing
medical tool that can calm
a patient and make a therapy appointment a little
more enjoyable.
A slowly evolving form of
treatment, animal therapy
is used in only a few other
Army installations, including Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center
in Bethesda, Md. A small
number of dogs like Lexy
are being used almost as cotherapists. Others routinely
work as service animals and
are often used for animalassisted therapy, including
in visits to patients in the
hospitals.
Lexy’s move into therapy
was unexpected. Rumayor
decided to put her new
puppy through the training
when she realized Lexy was
less of a guard dog and more

of a calm cuddler. So, Lexy
went through about 2½
years of training before she
was able to pin on her rank
— she’s a lieutenant colonel
— and become certified as
Fort Bragg’s only therapy
dog.
As the Army struggles to
address the broad swath of
stress disorders and mental
health problems brought on
by more than a decade of
war, one of the biggest hurdles is getting soldiers to put
aside the bravado and seek
treatment. Lexy, it turns out,
is particularly good at that.
Van Woodruff, who was a
sergeant first class, went to
his scheduled appointment
just a few days before he was
set to get his medical retirement and move out of the
Army after 13 years in the
service.
“It’s hard for me to come
to these appointments. I
can’t really sit in the waiting room,” said Woodruff,
who suffers from obsessivecompulsive disorder. “I don’t
look forward to this whole
process of being here. … The
whole process of being here

Thanks, Mom, For LIFE !

Gallia County Right to Life

is something that’s agitative
to my diagnosis.”
But on a sunny Wednesday morning, the Alabama
native is sitting in Rumayer’s
office. “This is the only one I
look forward to going to because of Lexy. I love dogs.”
Rumayor, who wrote the
Fort Bragg policy that allows her to use Lexy in her
practice, said there was resistance at first.
“You don’t want everybody to think they can just
bring their dog to work,”
she said.
Rumayor also has seen
what an asset the dog can
be in getting soldiers to seek
out therapy and consistently
attend their appointments.
Walking around the
base, she uses Lexy as a
lightning rod to attract soldiers, then draws them into
conversation. On any given
day, she and Lexy will wander over to the motor pool
or anywhere troops might
gather, to see who might be
interested in having a chat.
“Stigma is one of the huge
things the military is trying
super hard to overcome —
behavioral health stigma being the biggest one, I think.
And Lexy is probably the
biggest asset I have in overcoming that stigma,” Rumayor said. “There’s nothing better than coming to
an appointment where you
get to have a warm fuzzy
thing that you get to pet all
the time. People don’t want
to come in the door. When
they see her coming in, it
makes them want to come in
the door.”
And often the soldiers reward her.
On her vest, Lexy sports
an Army Ranger tab and a
spray of other badges and
patches that she got from patients. The special forces tab
came from a soldier who had
been injured in a roadside
bomb blast, and Lexy and
Rumayor visited him in the
hospital.
Navy Capt. Robert Koffman, the senior consultant
for behavioral health at the
National Intrepid Center of
Excellence in Bethesda, has
a therapy dog of his own,
named Ron. And he’s seen
the broad impact the dogs
can have.

Marine overcomes sniper’s
bullet to bike in race
By Rick Scoppe
Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, N.C.
— After being shot by a
sniper in Afghanistan in
2010, Marine Maj. Matthew
Kutilek had no idea the bullet that severed two of the
three arteries in his right leg
and left him with an open
compound fracture of his
tibia would lead him three
years later to sit on a bicycle
seat “the size of a piece of a
pie” and ride 6,300 miles.
Far from it.
Kutilek, whose wife
was expecting their third
daughter at the time, was
just hoping to survive.
And then maybe not lose
his leg.

Kutilek said he should
have died and “certainly”
should have lost his leg. But
he didn’t. He not only survived but later this month
the 34-year-old, 5-foot-10,
165-pound infantry officer
stationed at Camp Lejeune
will take part in the brutal
Dirty Kanza, a 200-mile bicycling endurance race in
Emporia, Kan.
More than 1,000 bicyclists are expected to compete in the May 31 race,
which includes vast weather extremes that range from
not just wind and rain but
hail as well as 100-degree
temperatures and 12,000
feet of climbing.

Couple celebrates
35 years of marriage
GALLIPOLIS — Stanley and Brenda Evans,
of Gallipolis, recently celebrated 35 years of marriage. They were married May 5, 1979. Stanley
works as a financial advisor at Evans Wealth
Management in Gallipolis, and Brenda works
as a hospice nurse at Southern Ohio Medical
Center. They spend their free time with family
members on their farm.They have three children:
Daniel Evans (married to Jessica Evans), Johnna
Evans and David Evans. The couple was recently
blessed with a new grandson, Joseph Evans.

situation like that, they could use a special hug and that’s what we say about
the blankets. They just give a kid a special hug.”
Project Linus, a Bloomington, Ill.based organization that has chapters
throughout the country, was first created in 1995 and provides blankets to
children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need of a “sense
of security, warmth and comfort” that
a warm blanket — much like Linus’ famous blue one — can provide.
The idea to get the students who
participate in the local after school programs involved in Project Linus began
after Emily Dailey, Gallia-Vinton ESC
Education Consultant, heard Montgomery speak at her church.
Dailey subsequently brought each
after school center at Addaville, Southwestern and Hannan Trace elementary
schools, River Valley and South Gallia
middle schools and River Valley and
South Gallia high schools, 10 blanket
kits each.
Students, guided by their center staff
members, assembled the blankets and
they were recently presented to Montgomery at the Gallia-Vinton ESC office
in Rio Grande.
Montgomery, a retired art teacher,
reported that her own journey in Project Linus began through her church
community 10 years ago and she has
continued on that path ever since.
“Our church ladies group invited a
lady from Scioto County and she came
and talked to us [about Project Linus]

and I really got excited about. I kept
wanting somebody to do that, and, I
just felt like after no one else was volunteering, then it must be me that should
do it,” Montgomery said. “It just breaks
my heart to think some of things these
families have to go through. It just kind
of hit home, and I wanted to be able to
give back to our community.”
Montgomery reported that in this
10-year period, she has picked up the
counties of Ross and Jackson within
her coverage area and has placed over
1,600 blankets in local hospitals and
schools throughout those counties. She
has now added Gallia County to the
mix.
“I love it. The Lord just keeps blessing and blessing me and I just get a real
pleasure out of it,” she said while quoting a statement that is printed on all of
her Project Linus pamphlets.
“‘The best kind of sleep under heaven above, is under a blanket handmade
with love.’ I get chills just thinking
about it,” she said.
Montgomery further commented
that, prior to the recent donation by
Gallia County, she usually receives
donations of 40-50 blankets by various volunteers and groups who want
to help with the program — many of
them children who want to help other
children in need.
“It’s kids helping kids, and I’ve found
that they love doing it, and they love
receiving them,” Montgomery said.
Gallia-Vinton ESC Superintendent,
Dr. Denise Shockley reported that
her office, which manages numerous
programs and services in their cover-

age area in addition to the after school
programs, chose this service project for
the Gallia County Local School District
as it is accessible to every skill level and
also teaches children the value of volunteering.
“We always want to do community
service because it is important for various aspects of our society, and every
year we try to do one to two community
service projects,” Shockley said. “The
interesting thing about these blankets
is that all skill levels of children were
able to participate and be successful.”
The Gallipolis City School District
after school programs are also managed by Gallia-Vinton ESC and Shockley reported that, through these after
school programs, her office seeks to
not only enhance the students’ educational experience, but also teach them
valuable lessons in helping their communities.
“We’re always looking for community service projects that will address a
specific need in the community, and, at
the same time, teach our young people
skills to help them be a contributing
member of our society,” she said.
Shockley further stated that those
who may want more information on
the Gallia-Vinton ESC or any of the local after school programs can contact
any of the education consultants at
(740) 245-0593.
The blankets donated by the students of Gallia County Locals Schools
after school programs will be distributed to Gallia County children and
Holzer Medical Center.

Race
From Page C2
A year ago Kutilek (pronounced cue-ta-lek), who’s
been stationed at Camp
Lejeune since 2009, thought
about taking up the challenge but knew he wasn’t
ready. A year later he feels
he is.
“This race has a tradition as one of the hardest
races in the country. The
winner last year, to put it in
context, finished in just under 12 hours,” Kutilek said.
“So 12 hours on a bicycle in
May with all the elements
in Kansas from cold to heat
to win to tornadic activity. I
first heard about it about a
year and a half ago. It really
piqued my interest because
of the difficulty of it.
“But I knew I wasn’t ready
last year to do it because I
was relatively new to cycling.
So I made a concerted effort
to train for it since last May.”
The degree of difficulty
wasn’t all that sparked Kutilek’s interest in the Dirty
Kanza. While he was born
in Cincinnati, he grew up
in Wichita, Kan., where he
lived from the third grade

until he was 18 and “got
dropped off at The Citadel,”
where he graduated from in
2001 with a degree in history. Wichita is about two
hours south of Emporia.
Beyond that, the Dirty
Kanza, which draws competitors from several countries
and nearly every state, was
the perfect vehicle for a fundraiser Kutilek was doing for
the Semper Fi Fund, which
raises money for wounded,
ill and injured Marines and
sailors.
His goal: $20,000. So far,
he said he’s raised more than
half of that ($11,000).
How he decided on raising money for the Semper Fi
Fund, Kutilek said, is “a crazy story,” going back to his
days as an instructor in 2006
at The Citadel in Charleston,
S.C. The school staff wanted
to teach the students that
included future Marine officers about “giving back”
to the community, including
charities.
So the staff chose the
Semper Fi Fund.
“We actually brought
down some wounded Marines from Camp Lejeune to

The Citadel,” he said.
The goal was to raise
$5,000. In four months, Kutilek said, the ROTC unit at
The Citadel raised $94,000.
That, however, was only
Chapter I of the “crazy”
story. Chapter II begins in
southern Afghanistan - as
does the story of how he
took up bicycling. After
being shot, Kutilek was
medevaced to the Bethesda (Md.) National Naval
Medical Center, where
he spent eight weeks recuperating. It was one of
four hospitals where he
spent time during his recovery, which included
no less than 150 physical
therapy sessions.
“The first person I met
when I walked in that door
was a representative of the
Semper Fi Fund,” Kutilek
said, “and it was the same
people I had dealt with four
years prior raising money
for that organization. They
helped me out (and) my
family. They’re great. Ever
since I was in the hospital
I wanted a tangible way to
give back to them and raise
money for them.

“I was never physically
able to until I started recovering the last two years and
now I feel like there’s a great
opportunity to raise money
to give back to them. I chose
the $20,000 goal so it’d be
$100 per mile for the 200mile race.”
Without the suggestion of
a surgeon, however, Kutilek
might never have taken up
bicycling and might have
had to find another vehicle
to raise money for the SemAP Photo
per Fi Fund.
Later
this
month,
