After more than two months of uncertainty, the grant funding to construct a new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Meigs County is now back on. The Meigs County Commissioners and the EOC Committee meet on Thursday to discuss plans for moving forward with the project now that the funds are in place. The county had been awarded the $700,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the West Virginia Public Port Authority to construct a new EOC. The grant agreement between the Port of Huntington TriState, Area Maritime Security Committee and Meigs County Emergency Services Agency had been signed on March 8, 2012, to award the funding to the county. The grant was part of the 2009 funding year monies, which called for a final draw down of funds by Sept. 30, 2012. At the time of the agreement, it was believed by the county that an extension was in place until 2014. Late last year, it became apparent that the extension was not in place. Given the scope of the project, it was not possible for the project to progress without an extension being granted. That extension is now in place. The extension did not come without a battle. Commissioners and other committee members have contacted many officials, department heads and government representatives in an effort to gain the extension they believed was already in place. The project, according to the extension, must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013. Plans are to have the 5,000-squarefoot EOC constructed on property provided by the Community Improvement Corporation and located near the newly built Family Healthcare medical office on Pomeroy Pike.

Southern inducts first Hall of Fame class Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The Southern Local School District inducted its first class into the Southern Local School District Hall of Fame at Friday evening’s basketball game. In January, the Southern Local Board of Education approved the establishment of the hall of fame. According to Superintendent Tony Deem, the purpose of the Southern Local School District Hall of Fame is to recognize Southern Local School District graduates, employees and major contributors who have distinguished themselves by their individual contributions in scholarship, athletics, career, community service and/or society as a whole. The permanent honor of being elected to the SLSD Hall of Fame will represent individuals who, through their individual actions, have contributed to the established vision of the Southern Local School District. Individuals can be nominated by anyone, but must be approved by the selection committee. The committee voted on the confirmed candidates and selected five individuals for the inaugural induction. A plaque in their honor will hang in the new high school, outlining their accomplishments and contributions. The 2013 Hall of Fame inductees include: Charles W. Hayman Charles W. Hayman graduated from Otterbein College Southern Local Superintendent Tony Deem, High School Principal Daniel Otto, and Elementary Principal Kent Wolfe presented plaques to inductees during Friday’s ceremony. in 1925 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French.

Blevins, who took the 2011 PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) as a junior back in the fall of 2011, was recently notified by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, one of the agencies that sponsors the test, of his achievement as a National Merit Finalist, or one of the 15,000 students scoring in the top one percent of the approximately 1.5 million individuals who took the test. “I just don’t know how to say that this is a big deal,” Ohio Valley Christian School’s Chief Administrator Patrick O’Donnell said on Friday of the achievement. “This is a big deal. This is a big deal for our area, for southern Ohio. I can’t remember the last time we had a National Merit Semifinalist in the area, but it’s been a little while, it hasn’t been since I have been an administrator, I believe, and certainly I can’t remember the last time there was a National Merit Finalist that came out of this area.” The Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is a standardized test generally taken by students in their third year of high school as a practice test before taking the SAT (a widely-used college entry exam), as well as a means by which to enter the National Merit Program and gain recognition, scholarships and preparation for college entry, according to O’Donnell. “It’s not only a practice for the SAT, but it also helps kids understand areas of growth that they may want to concentrate on for the upcoming school year and shore up as they go into See FINALIST ‌| A2 Meigs Local superintendent retires, only to be rehired Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs Local Board of Education voted to accept the resignation of Superintendent Rusty D. Bookman, submitted for the purpose of initiating earned retirement benefits, and then re-employing him for another two years following the end of his current contract on July 31, 2013. The vote on the retirement/ re-employment of Bookman as superintendent, was taken following an executive session at Tuesday night’s meeting. The Board members, Ryan Mahr, Ron Logan, Todd Snowden and Roger Abbott voted in favor while Larry Tucker voted “no.” Bookman’s new contract will begin on Aug. 5, 2013 and will continue through July 31, 2015. While his current salary is $90,000, under the new contract it will be at the reduced figure of $75,000. A public hearing on the retirement-reemployment of Bookman, as required by law, was held earlier. In other business, Reports on telephone changes geared to improve contacts with emergency units and with the parents of students where bus pickup schedules have been changed were given at Tuesday’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education. Matt Simpson, technology coordinator, reported on progress to convert all phones in the schools, from which now only interior calls can be made, so that emergency 9-1-1 calls can be made from anywhere in the buildings. He said that the emergency system alert will be completely wireless and that he anticipates that the change will be completed in all three buildings later this year. Dean Harris, transportation coordinator, talked about developing a telephone system programmed to notify parents of students living in a specified area when the bus or buses for some reason or another cannot travel on a specific day or days. Ron Hill, athletic director, presented the fall sports report to the Board which indicated an increase in attendance and gate receipts. He noted that the biggest gate at a football game was at the Southern-Meigs game. The total of gate receipts was $32,563 with expenditures of $14,490. He talked about the positive comments on the new field and said that the biggest attendance was at the SouthernMeigs games. He also report on the security at the stadium which is being handled this year by the sheriff’s department. As for the other programs, Hill showed receipts of $5,516 for volleyball with expenditures of $2,600, cross country, $604 with expenses of $890. During the meeting the annual membership with the Ohio School Board Association in the amount of $5,824 was approved as was $320 to renew the annual Briefcase/School Management News subscriptions for this year. As recommended by Bookman, Travis Abbott was hired as quiz team advisor at Meigs High School with Board member Roger Abbott abstaining; Bryan Zirkle as junior varsity softball coach, Josh Eddy as junior varsity baseball coach, and Derek Miller as volunteer baseball coach, and Marcia Kitchen as a substitute personal assistant for the remainder of the school year. �Sunday, February 17, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2 Finalist From Page A1 college,” O’Donnell said of the test that focuses on critical reading, writing and math. “It gives you a little indication about how you might perform on the SAT, but it is also is qualifying test for these scholarships, as well.” It takes a year for the scores to return from the PSAT and, in September of the following year, approximately 50,000 of the 1.5 million students who compete in the National Merit Scholarship program are recognized as having the highest scores in all three areas of the test. Of those, approximately two-thirds, or 34,000, receive letters of commendation in recognition of their achievement. The remaining 16,000 students are named as semifinalist, and, of those, the 15,000 finalists, who have met high academic standards and other requirements, are notified in February of the following year that they have advanced to the next round of the competition. Winners of the National Merit Scholarship awards are then chosen from among the finalist group based on their abilities, skills and accomplishments. Winners of the competition have access to wide variety of scholarships and awards, but so do finalist, and Blevins, who was just recently notified of his achievement, is already enjoying the fruits of his hard work. According to O’Donnell, due to his standing as a finalist, Blevins will have his full tuition and other expenses paid to attend Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. The National Merit Corporation maintains partnerships with division one schools throughout the country that offer scholarships based on the competition, and, because of this, Blevins choice of a university was made easier and he was led to the division one, Christian school, Liberty University — the right fit for his academic needs. “I’ve been there several times, and it’s always appealed to me greatly. The atmosphere around it is fantastic,” Blevins said of his college choice. “I just really like what they are doing. They are growing all the time.” Blevins, a humble scholar athlete who is leaning toward a major in finance when he enters Liberty University this fall as a freshman, has not only excelled on the soccer field as a OVCS Defender, but has also excelled in the classroom. When speaking of his achievements on Friday, Blevins thanked his parents and teachers for their positive influence on his life and education. “I’m very proud of [the achievement], to be totally honest. Obviously, it’s something to strive for, and it’s an achievement I’m pleased with, and I’m pleased to bring this school some recognition,” Blevins commented. “Both my parenting and my schooling have raised me in a way to think critically and make my own opinions on things instead of just accepting what I’m told. A lot of that, and a lot of the logic that has been instilled in me, is what has helped me with this test-taking ability that I’ve got. It’s a blessing from God, and everyone has their own abilities, and that’s mine, so I’ve just got to use it.” O’Donnell, who knows the Blevins family well as Jennifer, Josh’s older sister who is currently attending Otterbein University, graduated from OVCS in 2012, and Eric, Josh’s younger brother, is a freshman at his school and is also a student athlete, commended their parents, Dr. David and Paula Blevins. “I think Josh is ‘Exhibit A’ of good parenting and owning his own responsibility for his learning,” O’Donnell said. “Josh is very serious about his studies, and I think that is hugely important in the field of education, and I think he has had a good school to go to, too, with good teachers.” OVCS, a private institution located at 1100 Fourth Avenue in Gallipolis, pulls students from across the tri-county area, and the school’s chief administrator further commented that Blevins is not only an exemplary student at his institution, but also an exemplary leader who will be missed by the OVCS family. “Our desire here is we want to provide an academically excellent, distinctively Christian education to our kids, and I think Josh is an example of what can happen if a student applies themselves here at this school,” O’Donnell said. “I think the the sky is the limit for them academically, but also as far as their Christian character and conduct. Josh is a great guy. He just really is. And, it’s like he said, ‘to God be the glory.’ All of this wouldn’t be possible without Him.” Class From Page A1 one sectional-district championship and one trip to the state tournament in 1933.

Asteroid buzzes, misses Meigs County Local Briefs Earth — unlike meteor Youth League signup CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A 150-foot asteroid hurtled through Earth’s backyard Friday, coming within an incredible 17,150 miles and making the closest known flyby for a rock of its size. In a chilling coincidence, a meteor exploded above Russia’s Ural Mountains just hours before the asteroid zoomed past the planet. Scientists the world over, along with NASA, insisted the meteor had nothing to do with the asteroid since they appeared to be traveling in opposite directions. The asteroid is a much more immense object and delighted astronomers in Australia and elsewhere who watched it zip harmlessly through a clear night sky. “It’s on its way out,” reported Paul Chodas of NASA’s Near-Earth Object program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Asteroid 2012 DA14, as it’s called, came closer to Earth than many communication and weather satellites orbiting 22,300 miles up. Scientists insisted these, too, would be spared, and they were right. The asteroid was too small to see with the naked eye even at its closest approach around 2:25 p.m. EST, over the Indian Ocean near Sumatra. The best viewing locations, with binoculars and telescopes, were in Asia, Australia and eastern Europe. Even there, all anyone could see was a pinpoint of light as the asteroid buzzed by at 17,400 mph. As asteroids go, this one is a shrimp. The one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was 6 miles across. But this rock could still do immense damage if it ever struck given its 143,000-ton heft, releasing the energy equivalent of 2.4 million tons of TNT and wiping out 750 square miles. By comparison, NASA estimated that the meteor that exploded over Russia was much smaller — about 49 feet wide and 7,000 tons before it hit the atmosphere, or one-third the size of the passing asteroid. Dear U.A.: The economy surely has wreaked destruction on the retirement plans of so many in recent years. You are wise to review all of your financial options and not go off in any unrealistic directions, even though it’s a big blow to your longheld dreams. It sounds as though you are planning to retire in a year or so, but if your health and circumstances permit, consider working a bit longer. It might give the economy time to turn around and your finances to recover somewhat, but it also would give you an opportunity to thoroughly discuss your future and not rush into anything you might regret. It sounds as though you could use some extra time to negotiate with your husband, as well. I wonder if your husband is suddenly wrapped up in plans for a travel trailer as a way to stave off any permanent move right now. With this home on wheels, he may reason, you two can see the country and fulfill some of your travel desires without having to settle down at any one address or in any one lifestyle. He may see this as an interim step before “real” retirement, where you sit on a porch in a rocking chair, sharing your memories.

So we will have to wait until they meet again in May to hear their final decision. Well okay, at least they haven’t completely caved to political pressure and the perverted homosexual lobby — yet. But the fact that they are even considering such a decision is a cowardly and tragic move that, if it ultimately becomes BSA’s official position, will destroy the Boy Scouts and many young lives in the process. By taking this abrupt Uturn in the strong stance they have taken against homosexuality for over 100 years, BSA’s leadership makes a mockery of its own official statement on its web site regarding “youth protection,” to wit: “While no current screening techniques exist that can identify every potential child molester, we can reduce the risk of accepting a child molester by learning all we can about an applicant for a leadership position …” Honestly, how do they expect to reduce the risk of child molestation by allowing open homosexuals to lead and camp out with innocent young boys? Hasn’t the BSA learned anything from the Catholic Church’s pedophilia scandals and BSA’s own past problems in this area? As a former Scout, Cub Scoutmaster, uncle of two Eagle Scouts, and father of a Scout now only one rank away from Eagle, I and my family protest BSA’s waffling on this issue in the strongest and loudest possible terms! BSA violates its own Boy Scout Oath and Law, i.e., “To keep myself … morally straight” and “A Scout is … clean,” by moving in this direction. How can we expect a Scout to be clean and keep himself morally straight when the organization he is a part of and the leadership he looks up to condones, accepts and perhaps soon openly exhibits unclean and immoral behavior? Let me be clear. This is solely a sexual behavior issue; it has nothing to do with who someone is, it’s only how they choose to behave. Yes, God made us all different and unique, but it’s the behavioral choices we make that make us who we are. He gave us all the same set of instructions to not sin in His Word, the Holy Bible. And sexual behavior is like any other behavior, right or wrong — you can choose to do it or not. You can choose to kill or not. You can choose to overeat or not. You can choose to help a neighbor or not. You can choose to behave morally or immorally. You can choose adulterous behavior or that of a faithful spouse. You can choose to perform homosexual acts or not. You choose to sin or not. And by the way, attempts to equate the fight for homosexual “rights” with the struggle for racial equality are blatantly offensive to all people of color. Black people cannot choose to change the color of their skin, or hide their skin color in the closet Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Make no mistake: this is a behavorial, not civil rights issue! Next it’ll be the pedophiles, sadomasochists and bestiality lovers demanding their right to join the Boy Scouts. Please visit www.scouting.org or call the national BSA headquarters at 972580-2000 (let it ring a long time, they’ll eventually answer) to let them know how you feel about this critically important issue. Please urge them to stand fast against the liberal media and the spineless corporate sponsors who are withholding major BSA donations due to pressure to conform to the relentless demands of the depraved homosexual lobby. Homosexuality is evil and wrong and will spell the end of the BSA if they proceed to accept it. The BSA must stop pursuing this dark direction and reverse course now!

D.B. Stuart, Pomeroy, Ohio Page A4 Sunday, February 17, 2013 NY town of 9/11 workers wages gas pipeline fight Mary Esch The Associated Press MINISINK, N.Y. — After four months helping in ground zero recovery post-Sept. 11, New York City Police Officer Nick Russo sought respite by moving with his family to the rolling hills of Orange County, on the northern fringe of the metropolitan area. The county has gotten a reputation as a haven for generations of retired or commuting police and firefighters from the city; the hamlet of Westtown wears the nickname “Guns & Hoses.” “I had restricted lung breathing, stomach problems” related to breathing toxic dust at ground zero, Russo said. “I just wanted to get away from all the pollution in the city.” Now, Russo and others in the town of Minisink are battling what they say is another health threat. He has banded with other residents to fight the $43 million Minisink Compressor Project on the Millennium Pipeline, designed to help ease the power crunch in New York City, an hour’s drive to the south. “So I move up here, next to the beautiful cows and farms,” Russo said. “And now here I am fighting a compressor station on farmland right down the road.” Compressor station opponents in the town of about 4,400 residents wants the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reconsider a proposal by the residents to put the industrial facility on a more remote company-owned site that’s farther from homes and farms. Their last-ditch lawsuit pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals seeks to halt construction and revoke the commission’s permit. A decision is expected by the end of February. Opposition to natural gas development using high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to tap gas-rich shale deposits has been the primary focus of environmental groups in New York for years. While the state doesn’t allow shale gas development yet, there are many battles against the growing number of pipelines and compressor stations needed to bring gas from around the country to meet New York City’s insatiable demand for it. Compressor stations are needed at intervals along a pipeline to pressurize the gas and keep it moving. Opponents in Minisink worry about air emissions of acidic gases and small particles that would fall on Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. nearby farmland. The station would also cause ground vibrations and noise from the compressors, which the company says are “whisper quiet.” Some people living near compressor stations in other parts of the country have reported chronic sore throats, headaches, nosebleeds and other ailments. There haven’t been any scientific studies linking illness specifically to compressor stations, but a major study in Fort Worth, Texas, found that large compressor stations might exceed some pollution standards. Millennium, based in Pearl River, N.Y., received final approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September for the plant, which resembles a large green barn with two silos. The “silos” are actually smokestacks for the two 6,130-horsepower natural gas-powered compressors that will take gas from a 30-inch pipeline and send it at a higher velocity into a 24-inch one. The pipeline, which spans 182 miles across southern New York, carries gas from fracking in neighboring Pennsylvania as well as gas from Louisiana, Texas, and Canada. It went online in 2008. “This project has undergone a rigorous review and passed,” Steve Sullivan, a spokesman for Millennium Pipeline Co., said of the Minisink station. “One of the main points of the review was the impact to air quality.” Sullivan said it’s important to note that overall air quality in the Northeast is improving as natural gas replaces coal in power plants. Health experts say coal-burning power plants produce far more pollution linked to respiratory health problems than natural gas-fired plants produce. President Barack Obama has strongly endorsed natural gas as a clean energy source, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said more natural gas is critical for the city to improve air quality and public health. A report released this month by the RAND Corp. estimated the cost to health and the environment from shale gas development emissions in neighboring Pennsylvania at $7.2 million to $32 million in 2011, with up to 75 percent of it related to compressor stations. To put that in perspective, the report said the single largest coal-fired power plant alone produced $75 million in damage in 2008.

And they’re not wasting any of it, promising to redouble their efforts to scour Hagel’s record and to pressure senators to vote against him. While Senate Republicans have succeeded in delaying a confirmation vote on Hagel’s nomination, they signaled that they would eventually relent and allow an up-or-down vote after they return from their recess on Feb. 25. But that leaves an uncomfortable gap for Hagel and the White House, which doesn’t want any surprises popping up that would further delay or possibly derail his confirmation. But the fuss has underscored a key dynamic: Even if Hagel is confirmed, his relations with House and Senate Republicans could be frostier than the Obama administration might have hoped. “You need a strong secretary of defense, and I think through this process he’s been weakened and it might be better to just go back to the drawing board,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon told reporters on Friday. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday that the delay was a political tactic and that Obama is still confident Hagel will be confirmed. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there are additional politics that are injected into this circumstance,” he said. “It is extremely unfortunate.” The GOP-leaning Americans for a Strong Defense plans to take full advantage of the lull. Spokesman Ryan Williams said the organization is stepping up a grassroots campaign to flood Senate offices with calls from constituents who want to see Hagel’s nomination rejected. It also will push for greater disclosure of financial information about Hagel’s paid speeches and foreign donors to private organizations and businesses that the former Nebraska Republican lawmaker was affiliated with after he left the Senate in 2009. “We’re going to be ramping up our grass-roots efforts, speaking to local community leaders in states where senators have not said how they will vote on the final nomination,” Williams said. While Hagel has said he’s a strong supporter of Israel, his past reference to “the Jewish lobby” and opposition to a military strike against Iran antagonized pro-Israel groups. The Emergency Committee for Israel said it will continue to try to convince a major- ity of senators that there are better choices than Hagel to lead the U.S. armed forces and manage the federal government’s largest bureaucracy. “The nomination process has moved faster than the disclosure process, and it’s likely we still don’t know everything we should about Hagel’s record,” said Noah Pollak, the group’s executive director. “The upcoming week is a chance to catch up.” Hagel’s nomination was met with intense opposition from GOP senators, who challenged his past statements and votes on Israel, Iran, Iraq and nuclear weapons. But Hagel’s criticism of the President George W. Bush’s administration simmers beneath any policy disagreements, Earnest told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One. Earnest read a transcript of an interview Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., gave to Fox News on Thursday in which McCain said “there’s a lot of ill will” toward Hagel because he “attacked President Bush mercilessly” and said the surge of U.S. troops in Iraq “was the worst blunder since the Vietnam War.” Meigs County Community Calendar Sunday, Feb. 17 NEW HAVEN — 680 and Slug Match, noon, at the Broad Run Gun Club.

The Gallia Academy boys basketball team grabbed a 32-to-23 rebounding advantage Friday night en route to a 48-46 victory over Southeaster Ohio Athletic League foe Chillicothe in Gallia County. The Cavaliers (7-14, 5-5 SEOAL) jumped out to an early 9-2 lead in the opening 3:15 but GAHS (8-13, 4-6) answered with a 7-4 run to end the first. The Blue Devils went on a tare in the second period, out scoring CHS 15-to-4, including a 10-to-1 run that ended the half. Gallia Academy out rebounded Chillicothe 12-to-2 in the second period and GAHS held the 24-17 lead at the break. The Blue Devils kept it going after halftime with a 10-to-4 run that gave them a 13 point lead 4:30 into the second half. Chillicothe answered with a 10-to-5 run that cut the lead to 39-31 headed into the finale. “We played solid in the second quarter and really if you look at the first few minutes of the third quarter we were really solid,” Gallia Academy coach Tom Moore said. “I made a couple bad substitutions and we went from being up 13 to being up six. We got it to eight by the end of the quarter but it was a fight to the end.” Chillicothe rallied for 15 points in the final period, its best quarter of the night.

Goodell paid more than $29 million by NFL in 2011 NEW YORK (AP) — Commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $29.49 million by NFL owners in 2011, nearly triple his compensation from the previous year. According to the league’s most recent tax return, most of Goodell’s pay comes in the form of a $22.3 million bonus. His base pay was $3.1 million. The NFL was scheduled to file the return Friday. While the league declined comment on specifics, it must, by law, make the return available upon request. In 2011, Goodell helped the league reach a new 10-year labor deal and work out lucrative TV contracts. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank issued a statement calling the NFL the “most successful and best-managed sports league in the world,” and it “is in no small part due to Roger’s leadership.” He added that Goodell’s “compensation reflects that.” Goodell earned $11.6 million in 2010. Goodell’s compensation was first reported by Sports Business Journal.

Ousley, a center, scored 11 points in the opening quarter, allowing WHS (11-10) to storm out to an 18-8 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Lady Defenders (3-13) were never closer the rest of the way, as Ousley scored eight of the hosts’ 16 second quarter points en route to a 34-18 lead at the intermission. OVCS managed to keep pace in the third period, as Wellston used a small 16-12 spurt to increase it lead to 5030 headed into the finale. Ousley netted 19 points down the stretch, which led the Lady Rockets to a 29-17 fourth quarter run while concluding the 32-point triumph.

Joiner scored five of his career-high 42 points in the second overtime period to lead the University of Rio Grande past the University of the Cumberlands, 78-69, Thursday night, in Mid-South Conference men’s basketball action at the O. Wayne Rollins Center. The RedStorm improved to 9-17 overall and 4-12 in the MSC with the victory, their first on the road this season. The win also kept head coach Ken French’s club in the hunt for the final spot in the upcoming MSC Tournament with just four regular season games remaining to be played. Cumberlands, which opened the season with 12 straight wins and, for one week, was the topranked team in NAIA Division I, slipped to 17-10 overall and 8-9 in conference play. Joiner was magical from the outset for the RedStorm, who were playing their second straight overtime contest. The Columbus, Ohio native scored 16 points in the first half, 19 in the second half, two in the first overtime period and five in the second extra session. He finished 15of-24 from the field overall, including 9-for-16 from three-point range, while also adding six rebounds and three assists. Joiner’s 42 points established a new Mid-South Conference single-game high for the season and his 15 field goals tied the single-game season mark in the MSC, equaling the feat established by Campbellsville’s Vernon Payne against WVU Tech on Feb. 4. Joiner’s nine threepoint goals were also one shy of the school record set by P.J. Rase in a 9551 win over Virginia Intermont on November 27, 2009. Both teams took turns at holding the upper hand in a see-saw affair that featured seven ties and 15 lead changes. Rio Grande led by as many as seven points in the opening half, while also enjoyed a seven-point lead with 9:52 remaining in regulation. The RedStorm rallied, though, and took a 59-57 lead on a three-pointer by sophomore guard Evan Legg with 2:15 left, but the Patriots tied the game just over a minute later on a driving layup by Antonio Bumpus and too a 61-59 on a bucket by Benito Santiago, Jr. with 46.6 left. Joiner connected on two free throws with 32.7 seconds left to tie the game again, while Bumpus missed a pair of shots in the final five seconds to send the game to overtime. A pair of free throws by sophomore guard Travis Elliott gave Rio Grande the lead just under two minutes into the first overtime, but UC responded with six straight points of its own and led 67-63 after Santiago, Jr. hit one of two free throw tries with 1:16 left. Joiner’s running jumper with 58.9 seconds left cut the deficit in half and a pair of free throws by senior center Dominick Haynes knotted the score at 67-all with 44.6 seconds showing on the clock. Rio Grande had a final opportunity for a dramatic win after the Patriots missed a would-be gamewinner with three seconds remaining, but a heave from Joiner just inside the midcourt stripe hit off the rim as the buzzer sounded sending the game to a second overtime. Joiner scored on an offensive rebound 41 seconds into the second extra period and added a threepointer with 2:40 remaining to give the RedStorm a 72-67 edge and, while UC’s Shaquille Lowery hit a pair of free throws 18 seconds later to make it a three-point game, the Patriots got no closer. Rio Grande closed the game on a 6-0 run to nail down the win. Aside from Joiner, no other Rio player reached double figures. Haynes and Legg added nine points apiece, while junior forward Bruce Komakech snared a game-high 10 rebounds. Santiago, Jr., the son of the former MLB All-Star catcher, had 26 points to lead Cumberlands. He also had seven rebounds and a game-high five steals. Bumpus added 23 points and Lowery netted 11 in a losing cause for the Patriots.

Patriots cruise past Rio women, 88-55 Randy Payton special to OVP WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. ­ — Jill Herman equaled a season-high with 26 points, while teammate Jackie Alexander dropped in 20 points of her own to lead the Univesity of the Cumberlands in an 88-55 win over the University of Rio Grande, Thursday night, in Mid-South Conference women’s basketball action at the O. Wayne Rollins Center. The Patriots, who were among the team’s receiving votes in this week’s NAIA Division I coaches poll, won for the fifth time in seven outings to improve to 16-10 overall and 9-8 in league play. Rio Grande (6-20, 0-16) lost for the seventh straight time and the 12 time in its last 13 tries. The RedStorm led 13-10 after a bucket by freshman guard Sarah Bonar with 15:11 left in the first half, but the Patriots reeled off 10 straight points over the next four minutes and never looked back. Rio Grande did close the gap to just four points on two occasions - 27-23 following a three-pointer by sophomore forward Janie Morris with 6:02 left and 29-25 after a layup by Morris with 5:12 remaining before the intermission - but UC responded with a 12-3 run to open up a 16-point cushion inside the final minute of the half. The Patriots settled for a 14-point halftime lead and, while Rio Grande sliced the deficit to 11 in the opening minute of the second stanza, the RedStorm got no closer the rest of the way. The deficit stood at 6552 after a jumper in the lane by sophomore center Morgan Daniels with 9:26 left to play, but the bucket would be Rio’s final field goal of the night as UC closed the game on a 23-3 run. The 33-point final margin was the Patriots’ biggest lead of the night. Herman, who also had a game-high six assists, scored 16 of her 26 points in the second half. Alexander, who also had eight rebounds, had 11 of her 20 in the opening stanza. Cumberlands, which is coached by former Rio Grande assistant coach Melissa Irvin, also got 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds from Vernisha Moss and 12 points from Dace Bicane. The Patriots shot 52 percent from the field for the game, including 54.8 percent (17-for-31) in the second half. Rio Grande, which shot just 29.2 percent in the second half (7-for-24) and 32 percent for the game (16for-50), was led by senior guard Shardai MorrisonFountain with 15 points and three steals.

The Bison (16-3) snapped a twogame losing skid in impressive fashion, as the guests hit 15-of-21 shot attempts in the first period to secure a sizable 36-11 advantage after eight minutes of play. The host White Falcons (8-12) — who committed seven of their 18 turnovers in the opening period — were never closer than 23 points the rest of the night. BHS hit 8-of-11 shots to start the second canto, which led to a 53-18 cushion at the 4:28 mark — the Bison’s largest lead before the break. Wahama closed the half with a small 14-10 spurt to pull within 63-32 at the intermission. Buffalo committed just three turnovers and was 26-of-42 from the field in the opening 16 minutes, which included an 8-of-14 effort from threepoint range for 57 percent. WHS, conversely, had 12 turnovers and was 13-of-36 from the floor for 36 percent, including a 3-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 23 percent. BHS cooled off a bit in the second half, but the Bison still shot a respectable 47 percent over the final two periods while growing their lead to as many as 43 points on three separate occasions in the third period. An Aaron Lewis jumper at the 1:34 mark gave Buffalo its final 43-point edge of the night at 87-44, but the White Falcons closed the final 1:23 on an 8-0 surge to close to within 8752 headed into the finale. Wahama twice pulled to within 33 points down the stretch, but never came closer than the final margin of victory. Gabe Garrison hit a lefthanded layup at the 3:08 mark to push the guests over the century plateau for an impressive 100-60 lead. WHS closed regulation with a 7-0 run. Buffalo, with the win, claimed a season sweep of the White Falcons after posting a 75-56 home victory back on December 14. The Bison fin- ished the night with just eight turnovers, half of which came in the final eight minutes of play. Wahama finished the night 27of-72 from the field for 38 percent, including a 9-of-31 effort from threepoint range for 29 percent. The hosts also netted 4-of-8 free throw attempts for 50 percent. Austin Jordan led WHS with 17 points, followed by Hunter Rose with 12 points and Hunter Bradley with 11 markers. Wyatt Zuspan and Trenton Gibbs also chipped in seven and six points, respectively. Derek Hysell and Jacob Ortiz each contributed five points to the losing cause, while Dakota Sisk and Preston Hudnall added two markers apiece to round out the scoring. Buffalo connected on 41-of-74 shot attempts overall, including a 12-of23 effort from behind the arc for 52 percent. The guests were also 6-of-10 at the charity stripe for 60 percent. Laythen Good — who did not play in the fourth quarter — paced the Bison with a game-high 33 points, followed by Levi Jordan with 15 points and Isaiah Robinson with 12 markers. Point Pleasant sweeps Panthers, 64-49 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HAMLIN, W.Va. — There’s a first time for everything. The Point Pleasant boys basketball team won its season-best fifth straight decision and also moved above the .500 mark for the first time all season Friday night following a 64-49 nonconference victory over host Lincoln County. The Big Blacks (10-9) — who lost eight of their first nine games this winter — have now won nine of their last 10 decisions overall, and PPHS also picked up a season sweep of the Panthers (9-11) in the process. Point Pleasant claimed a 51-43 home win in the first contest back on January 18. Early on, however, LCHS appeared to have Point’s number, as the hosts stormed out to an 11-6 advantage after eight minutes of play. Alex Somerville netted a pair of trifectas for the guests in the opening period, but the rest of Point Pleasant was held scoreless during that span. The Big Blacks found their rhythm in the second canto, as Point made a 20-14 run to secure a slim 26-25 edge at the intermission. PPHS kept that momentum going into the third canto by making a 20-13 charge, allowing the guests to claim a 46-38 lead headed into the finale. Lincoln County was never closer than two possessions the rest of the way, as Point closed the fourth with an 18-11 run to wrap up the 15-point triumph. Alex Somerville led PPHS with 20 points, followed by Dillon McCarty with 16 points and Wade Martin with 15 markers. Aden Yates was next with eight points, while Garrett Norris and Nate Chapman respectively rounded out the scoring with three and two markers. Point Pleasant — which committed 13 turnovers in the contest — was 9-of13 at the free throw line for 69 percent. T.J. Arbough paced the Panthers with a game-high 21 points, followed by Schylar Kelley with 10 points and Tate Bragg with nine markers. LCHS was 8-of-18 at the charity stripe for 44 percent.

Durant loves competing against LeBron James HOUSTON (AP) — Kevin Durant wanted to set the record straight once and for all about his relationship with LeBron James. “I hate him,” he said before breaking into laughter. Then he got serious. “We’re actually really good friends,” he continued. “I think people want us to hate each other so bad just because we’re battling against each other.” That doesn’t mean he has any good feelings toward him when they pair face each other. “I like the friendly competition, but when we’re on the court we’re the furthest thing away from being friends,” he said. “We don’t take it easy on each other.” That much was never more evident than when the two competed in last year’s NBA Finals, which the Heat won in five games. James led his team in scoring in each game, and Durant paced the Thunder in all but Game 4. Soon after that, the two met up once again to play for the U.S. in the Olympics in London. “He’s going to go down as one of the best of all time,” Durant said about James. “I don’t think anyone will be like LeBron James. I’m glad I get a chance to compete against him year in and year out, and I’m also glad I was on his team to win the gold medal.” James and the Heat beat Durant’s Thunder 110-100 on Thursday night. James entered the game having scored 30 points with 60 percent shooting in an NBA-record six straight games. James had 39 points in that game, but the Thunder took some solace in keeping him below 60 percent shooting. “I’m glad we held him under 60, but he still shot 58 percent on us,” Durant said. “But I’m glad his streak didn’t continue. He’s such a great player. He’s somebody I look at as competition, and look at as a guy that I’m chasing every single day. Him and Kobe Bryant and Carmelo (Anthony), those are guys I look at and feel like I’m chasing and trying to be as good as them.” James said his relationship with Durant doesn’t affect the competition at all. “People always want to talk about the friendship me and KD have. It’s a new era,” James said. “It starts with how long we’ve been competing against one another since we were kids. You don’t have to hate somebody to compete against somebody. People get that twisted. Did you watch the game last night? It wasn’t friendly at all. We’re competing, but we respect each other. “Before me and D-Wade came together, everyone remembers the battles me and D-Wade had. But our friendship was one of the best we had, too. People just don’t have anything to talk about, so they want to try to make a story.” ————— FASHION STAR: When Heat star Dwyane Wade was putting together an ensemble that included super skinny jeans before meeting the media for the All-Star game, he failed to realize that he’d have to climb a riser of about three feet to get to the podium. “I don’t know if I can get up here,” he said looking around with a pained expression. “My pants are too tight.” He was finally able to gingerly hoist himself up to the podium to face the throng of reporters. Fittingly, the first question was about his style. Wearing a white Moschino button down shirt, a blazer and Gucci glasses, he said he doesn’t take his cues on dressing from anyone, preferring to cultivate an individual style. But he does appreciate the wardrobe choices of some of his fellow players. “Tyson Chandler’s a very good dresser,” Wade said of about the Knicks’ player. “That’s somebody that I look at and I like some of the things he wears. There’s a couple of guys that I look at and I think: ‘Hey, I like their style,’ and see what they’re doing.” ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � ����������������������������� �������� �� �� 60394243 BIDWELL, OH 9039 State Rt. 160 MON-SAT 8AM - 9PM SUN 9AM - 7PM 740-446-0818 Jackson, OH 71 E Huron St MON-SUN 8AM - 9PM 740-286-5586 Pomeroy, OH 700 W Main St MON-SAT 8AM - 9PM SUN 10AM - 9PM 740-992-2891 Waverly, OH 705 W Emmitt Ave MON-SAT 8AM - 9PM SUN 10AM - 9PM 740-947-3611 We accept WIC, EBT, Debit Cards, Visa, MasterCard & Discover ©February 2013 Moran Foods, Inc.

However, in the middle of this long winter, something beautiful is blooming at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbus, Ohio — “Orchids!” “Orchids!” is the name of the conservatory’s latest display which includes hundreds of orchids arranged in the warmth of the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. Visitors can walk through row upon row of the delicate flowers in a design inspired by Aurora Robson’s suspended sculptures on view in “Sacrifice + Bliss” in another part of the conservatory. Robson’s display consists of plastic debris, excess packing and junk mail to create art and awareness about plastic pollution. Orchid chandeliers hang from the ceilings, suspended above rows of ornately arranged counterparts in gardens and on string, ascending the walls in a vertical fashion only to stop at the ceiling or emerge into an arch of color. A mid-winter escape, “Orchids!” features many of the 25,000 species of the flower which grow on six continents. Known for their beauty and exotic character, the meaning of orchids have evolved through the years to include love, beauty, luxury and strength. To Greeks, orchids suggested virility; in Victorian England they were a symbol of luxury.

Sonshine Circle plans fund raisers RACINE — A donation to the Meigs County Council on Aging was made, and plans were completed for fund raising activities during the recent meeting of the Sonshine Circle held at Bethany Church. Discussed was a bake and rummage sale to be held on Feb. 21 and 22 at the church for the benefit of maintenance expenses of the church. Plans were also made to make noodles for an Easter sale in March. Martha King presided at the meting which opened with devotions including scripture Romans 4:8 and a reading of ‘Jesus is a Friend’. Kathryn Hart opened the business meeting with secretary and treasurer reports by Mary Ball and Ann Zirkle. Edie Hubbard reported that 99 cards had been signed by members and sent.

The children’s program is closing in on the kind of rarified digital milestone usually reserved for the likes of pop stars and cat videos. “Sesame Street” will soon pass 1 billion views on YouTube and it’s celebrating the mark with a campaign to put itself over the hump. “Sesame Street” on Thursday will post a video featuring the character Telly Monster, urging viewers to click the show past the final 20 million views and unlock a “top secret video.” Naturally, for the nonprofit children’s series, it’s a teaching moment, too. Don’t be surprised if Count von Count shows up to ponder such a big number. For “Sesame Street,” the milestone — a first on YouTube for a nonprofit or U.S. children’s media outlet — reflects the increasingly multimedia nature of kid entertainment. Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch are now about as likely to be watched on an iPad, phone or laptop as they are on PBS. “We have this theory that if we get content on multiple platforms and devices, it gives kids and families a chance to reinforce and experience the curriculum multiple times,” says Terry Fitzpatrick, executive vice president of content and distribution for Sesame Workshop, who emphasizes videos are best co-viewed with child and parent. “It blows me away to think about how popular and strong a platform (YouTube) has become for us.” “Sesame Street,” a mainstay on PBS since 1970, launched its YouTube channel in 2006, but has continually expanded its mindfulness of online and mobile viewers. Sesame Workshop last year integrated its digital media group into its TV production, so that digital and interactive elements are considered from the start of an idea. Its most popular video is “Elmo’s Song,” which has been watched nearly 86 million times since being uploaded in 2009. More recently, another PBS hit, “Downton Abbey,” was parodied in “Upside Downton Abbey,” a video where British muppets have trouble drinking tea and eating crumpets because, well, they’re upside down. Caitlin Hendrickson, strategic partner manager for YouTube’s educational realm, YouTube EDU, says that education is one of the fastest growing content categories on the Google Inc.-owned site. “Sesame Street” reaching 1 billion views, she said in a statement, “is proof of their outstanding leadership in this space and their creative use of YouTube.” Visit us online @ www.mydailytribune.com & www.mydailysentinel.com located at 260 MulberLook outside, and ry Avenue, Pomeroy it appears that winter from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. is still here — cold on March 28.

Miss America returning to roots in Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Miss America, Atlantic City’s prodigal pageant, is coming home, and the spectacle that became synonymous with the New Jersey seaside resort is being assured all is forgiven after a six-year fling in Las Vegas. The pageant will be back where it started 93 years ago and where it was a fixture until 2006, when organizers moved to Nevada in the hopes of attracting a younger TV audience. “It was always my dream that this would return here,” said Art McMaster, president and CEO of the Miss America organization. “Sadly, this organization went west for a while. That sadness is over. We are back to the city where the Miss America pageant began, where the Miss America pageant was raised, and where the Miss America pageant belongs.” Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson, who worked with Gov. Chris Christie’s office to entice the pageant, said having Miss America anywhere but Atlantic City just felt wrong. “Can anyone separate the Mummer’s Parade from Philadelphia, or the Rose Bowl from Pasadena?” he asked. “Miss America is Atlantic City, and she’s coming home.” New Jersey’s lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, made the official announcement Thursday morning inside Boardwalk Hall, the historic arena in which the pageant will take place during yet-undetermined dates in September. She said Atlantic City and the pageant have a handshake agreement to move back here for at least three years, but said final details have yet to be ironed out. One thing is for sure, though: the contestants will don elaborate footwear and participate in the traditional pre-pageant Boardwalk parade, in which spectators yell out “Show us your shoes!” The announcement came the same day that another Boardwalk icon, Trump Plaza, was sold to a California company for $20 million, the lowest price ever paid for a casino in the beleaguered resort city. Boosters spun it as a heartening sign that the city was still attractive to investors. Guadagno said no taxpayer money was part of the incentives offered to lure Miss America back to New Jersey. Liza Cartmell, president of the Atlantic City Alliance, said her casino-funded group is among those providing financial incentives, but would not say how much it might contribute. She said individual casinos are contributing as well, and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority could use some of the funds casinos are obligated to pay to it for Miss America-related purposes. Guadagno and Cartmell said the return of the pageant is expected to generate at least $30 million in economic activity for Atlantic City and the surrounding region. But the psychological boost, and the free publicity of having the national broadcast set in Atlantic City, is price- less, they added. Cartmell said 6,000 to 7,000 people associated with the pageant will need hotel rooms, meals and other expenditures during their time in Atlantic City. “We will be showcasing all the attractions we have in Atlantic City,” Cartmell said. The pageant contestants “will be climbing the lighthouse, they’ll go to Gardner’s Basin, they may go dolphin-watching — all the fun things people do when they come to Atlantic City. The amount of free media for us is great.” The Miss America pageant left Atlantic City in 2006 after deciding it was just too expensive to stage its production there. It went to Las Vegas, where the current Miss America, Mallory Hagan, was crowned last month at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Hagan will have her reign cut short when the pageant is broadcast in September, but will be paid for the full year, pageant officials said. The move to Las Vegas came amid sliding TV ratings for the pageant, as it tried to interest a younger demographic and incorporating elements of reality television programming. McMaster said the content of the show is still being worked on, adding he expects a mixture of modern television elements and traditional pageant staples such as evening wear and swimsuit competitions, and talent competitions. The format is being jointly developed with the ABC television network, which will broadcast the pageant for the next three years, he said. The Miss America pageant started as little more than a bathing suit revue. It broke viewership records in its heyday and bills itself as one of the world’s largest scholarship programs for women. But, like other pageants, it has struggled to stay relevant as national attitudes regarding women’s rights have changed. The contest originated in 1920 as the Fall Frolic, which became the InterCity Beauty Contest the following year. In 1921, a high school junior named Margaret Gorman was one of approximately 1,000 entrants in a photo contest held by the Washington Herald. She was chosen as the first Miss Washington, D.C., and her prize was a trip to Atlantic City, where she won the top prize: the Golden Mermaid Trophy. The next year, Gorman was expected to defend her title. But when the Washington Herald selected a new Miss Washington, D.C., Atlantic City pageant officials didn’t know what new title to award Gorman. Since both titles she won in 1921 — Inter-City Beauty, Amateur and The Most Beautiful Bathing Girl in America — were considered somewhat awkward, it was decided to call her Miss America. The pageant was conceived by the Businessmen’s League of Atlantic City as a way to extend the summer tourism season in Atlantic City for another week, being held the weekend after Labor Day weekend, when temperatures were generally still warm. �Sunday, February 17, 2013 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Sunday, February 17, 2013 BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Feb. 18, 2013: This year you have a unique opportunity to expand your horizons.

Weekend unofficial start of SC spring tourism CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — This weekend marks the unofficial start of the spring tourism season in South Carolina, a year in which tourism officials expect the $15 billion industry will return to levels of before the Great Recession. There are a number of new events and tourism attractions around the state this year in addition to the yearly events that have become traditions for both South Carolinians and out-of-state visitors. The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition opened its threeday run in Charleston on Friday. More than 500 artists and exhibitors are attending the event that each year brings about 40,000 visitors to venues around the city. The expo, now in its 30th year and which started in 1983 with about 100 exhibitors and 5,000 attendees, attracts visitors to see everything form sporting dog competitions to displays of wildlife and exhibits of wildlife art. In Myrtle Beach, the weekend brings the Myrtle Beach Marathon. That event last year drew about 8,000 runners to a number of different races held in conjunction with the marathon. Taylor Damonte, the director of the Brittain Center for Resort Tourism at Coastal Carolina University, reports the center’s weekly survey of area accommodations shows occupancy could be close to 80 percent with the combination of the marathon, Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day weekend. That would be up almost 11 percent from the same weekend a year ago. There are a number of new attractions and events across the state. The first Bulls Bay Nature Festival - From the Forest to the Sea, will be held at conservation centers, wildlife refuges and parks near Awendaw northeast of Charleston on March 23. It’s to raise awareness of the state’s coast and will feature everything from a fishing derby to crabbing and cast netting. This spring in Greenville, Greenville B-Cycle is starting a bike sharing program. The plans call for six bike stations and 28 bikes that can be shared by residents and visitors. In April, the Clemson Blues Festival will be held in various venues in Clemson and Central. Not far away, in Pendleton, the Bart Garrison Agriculture Museum of South Carolina is scheduled to open in June. The museum will include five distinct exhibit areas and a changing exhibit focusing on South Carolina’s agriculture heritage. In Lake City, the last two weeks in April bring Artfields, a new arts show featuring art from around the Southeast with cash prize of $100,000. The event will also feature concerts, chef and artist cooking demonstrations and artist workshops. At Carowinds on the state line just south of Charlotte, ground was broken recently on The Grove, a new event venue that will be able to hold 15,000 people. In addition, the amusement park is opening Dinosaurs Alive! this spring. That attraction will feature 32 animatronic dinosaurs in a wooded 5-acre site. Myrtle Beach this summer celebrates the 75th anniversary of the community’s incorporation. Officials are making plans to have an air show along the shoreline including the Air Force Thunderbirds and other flying teams. The show is being planned for June 28 through June 30. The celebration will also include music by the U.S. Army Band. Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Visit us online @ www.mydailytribune.com & www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M. Lopez Publisher Stephanie Filson Managing Editor I’ve introduced my special needs daughter Aurora several times in this column. What I’ve not discussed is how being the sibling of a diagnosed autistic brother affects her behaviorally and socially. Not only does she suffer the stress of her brother’s behaviors and outbursts on a daily basis, but she exhibits many autistic traits herself. For children to be diagnosed with autism, they must exhibit a certain number and severity of traits. This can be complicated when a child has multiple comorbid conditions that can interfere with the examiner’s observations. Many children, some studies quote up to 50 percent of siblings, exhibit impairing autistic traits yet do not quality for a diagnosis. Aurora often doesn’t show empathy toward others; she has difficulty forming relationships with peers, exhibits extreme distress over minor changes in routine and has an overly narrow area of focus when playing or a restricted range of interests. She flaps her hands and beats her hands with her hands (classic autism traits). But still, I had her evaluated twice for autism, and each time she didn’t meet the criteria. Her sensory needs require many ultra-soft blankets and expensive custom clothing beyond our budget. We have provided her with many stuffed animals and a sensory swing for comfort. Like many special needs parents, I have a wish list of items I could get her like the labrador puppy she craves for companionship and anxiety help – but the cost of lifelong cost of vet bills and food are too much. She is behind on her e-school lessons for the year, mainly due to stress, health issues and doctor appointments. Her Asperger’s brother qualifies for up to$20,000-year through a state scholarship for autistic children to attend a school specifically for Aurora autism. Aurora does not. From: Many Children With Autistic Traits Go Unnoticed Medical News Today Article Date: 21 Jan 2009 No Author noted “Research has already established there are a lot more school-age children with mild but measurable autistic traits or ‘social communicative deficits’ than there are children clinically diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). But what was not clear was how many such children there might be and how possessing such deficits might hamper their development and adjustment. The research showed that: This impairment was linked with functional impairment at school, and particulary with hyperactivity and conduct disorders.” From: Autism Plays Hide-And-Seek in Family Genes Wired.com By Bruce Bower, Science News “Four times as many boys as girls meet psychiatric criteria for autism. But the inclusion of mild autism traits narrows that ratio to three boys for every two girls. Subclinical autistic traits deserve close scrutiny for possible detrimental effects on children,Constantino adds. Kids with undiagnosed autism-related social deficits may find it hard to make friends and could experience a worsening of other conditions such as learning disabilities and attention-deficit disorder. Subclinical traits may have benefits as well, he adds. Disinterest in social activities and a focus on details might boost math, science and computer skills.” Due to these restrictions, I find myself purchasing materials at my own expense in the middle of a divorce to take over what I consider to be the roles of the school and covered by our medical insurance. An iPad would benefit my daughter greatly, but it’s not going to happen on our budget. I’m trying to assemble a sensory room, but that’s very difficult on a limited budget. Our entire family suffers her daily meltdowns and cries for help. I feel that science and therapists are, in essence, ignoring many children, mainly girls. Coping skills are just one piece of the autism puzzle. What about these children’s social, academic and family relations? Where will they be in 10 to 20 years? It’s time we stopped ignoring these borderline children and provide them with the services they deserve. Many of the children are girls (who have better coping skills as proven in multiple studies) and siblings of autistic children. At current, there are no laws being considered or fundraising being done to help or protect these helpless children. You may follow the author on Twitter @ JhobbsSaunders.

Charlie Sheen pays for injured teen’s therapy dog MILWAUKEE (AP) — There’s a 15-year-old Florida girl who didn’t really know much about Charlie Sheen before this week — but does now. The actor wired $10,000 to Teagan Marti and her family on Thursday for a therapy dog to help in her rehabilitation from injuries sustained when she plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010. “I think he’s a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous,” Teagan Marti said by phone Thursday from her home in Parkland, Fla. Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries in July 2010 when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on a free-fall ride were not raised. She had convinced her family to make the trip from Florida to Extreme World in Wisconsin Dells after seeing the amusement park’s Terminal Velocity ride on the Travel Channel. She was hospitalized in Wisconsin and Florida for three months. She initially had no use of her arms or legs but through physical therapy is able to walk again with a walker. Teagan Marti’s mother, Julie Marti, said they are financially in trouble from the medical bills and her recent divorce. Their house is being foreclosed upon and insurance isn’t covering physical therapy anymore, she said. She had no idea how they would pay for the English Golden Retriever puppy. “I’m in such disbelief,” Julie Marti said. “I was crying. … What a guy. What a guy.” The dog is being trained in Fond du Lac to turn on lights, pick up objects and be the teen’s constant companion. Lucia Wilgus, of Eau Claire, became friends with the Martis after hearing of the accident and has spearheaded fundraising and helped find the dog and arrange training. She sent a letter this week to Sheen through Sheen’s godfather, who is a Wilgus family friend and Benedictine brother in the Benet Lake, Wis. She estimated the training and related costs would be around $6,000. Sheen said he decided to give more for extra costs. The request had a “personal vibe” since it came through his godfather, and “if there’s a need for more I told them to call me,” he said. “I like to pay it forward,” Sheen said Thursday in a phone interview from Los Angeles. “People come into your orbit for a reason. You don’t always know what that is ahead of time, but if I ignore these requests then I don’t have any opportunity to see where these things lead us, or lead me.” He said he doesn’t like to publicize most of his donations, but wanted to talk about this one to inspire others to donate. Teagan Marti gets the dog on her birthday in September but hasn’t made up her mind on a name. “I think they should name the dog Charlie,” Sheen joked. Havana restores monument to victims of USS Maine HAVANA (AP) — It was a little before 10 p.m. that February night in 1898 when a fiery explosion roiled the normally calm waters of Havana Harbor, blowing out windows in the city and sinking the USS Maine to the bottom of the bay, just the mast and some twisted metal wreckage left to poke above the waves. Havana’s monument to the 266 U.S. sailors who died that night was dedicated 27 years later as a tribute to lasting CubanAmerican friendship, a thank-you for Washington’s help in shedding the yoke of Spanish colonial rule, which was known for its cruelty. The years since have been unkind to the twincolumned monument, and to U.S.-Cuba ties. But while relations between Washington and Havana remain in deep freeze, the monument, at least, is now getting a facelift. The restoration project is fraught with symbolism, with the monument’s scars telling the story of more than a century of shifts in the complex relationship and changing interpretations of the marble structure. “Of the monuments in Havana, that’s one that really is struggling to contain all of these different historical episodes,” said Timothy Hyde, a historian of Cuban architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. “It doesn’t just symbolize any longer this single moment of the sinking of the Maine. It symbolizes all these periodic moments of antipathy and hostility and challenges between the two nation-states.” Soon after the USS Maine’s suddenly sank off the coast of this Caribbean capital 115 years ago Friday, the United States accused Spanish colonial authorities of responsibility in the blast. “Remember the Maine!” became a rallying cry in the States, and after the U.S. victory in the threemonth Spanish-American war, Spain ceded control over Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. The Maine monument was inaugurated in 1925 and bears the names of all 266 sailors. Two statues standing shoulder-toshoulder at the base represent a maternal America guiding the maiden Cuba into independence. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
