Wright, 3 months $2.00 SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2013 Vol. 47, No. 13 Grube seeks to appeal conviction with Ohio SC Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A notice of appeal in the case against a Gallia County woman currently serving a life sentence for the murder of her infant son was recently filed with the state’s highest court. Kansas D. Grube, 27, who is currently incarcerated in the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, Ohio, filed a notice of appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court earlier this month after the Fourth District Court of Appeals affirmed her conviction in a decision released last month. According to the memorandum in support of jurisdiction filed with the Ohio Supreme Court on March 12, Assistant State Public Defender Katherine A. Szudy argues that, “This Court should grant jurisdiction to reinforce that an individual must be afforded a fair trial before being deprived of his or her liberty. Unless proper procedures are followed in every case, no one is safe from wrongful conviction.” Grube, who was charged in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County with aggravated murder, murder and endangering children, maintained her innocence throughout court proceedings following the death of her infant son on February 12, 2010. Two-and-a-half month old Jaxson Grube, who is identified within court documents as “J.G.,” was found unresponsive by first responders who arrived on scene at the Grube home on Ohio 218 at approximately 11 p.m. on February 12, 2010. Initially, the infant was thought to have suffered from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) due to the lack of any outward physical abnormalities present on the child; however, after an autopsy was performed, a standard procedure in the death of an infant, two skull fractures were found on the child’s head, on being on the left side above the ear and the other on the back of the skull.

Answering the call Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A couple who have called Middleport home for the past 30 years will be leaving soon in answer to a call from God to go into missionary work. AI Hartson, pastor of the Middleport Church of Christ since 1983, and his wife Donna, will be moving to Louisville, Ky. soon to become event coordinators for Team Expansion, a missions ministry with more than 340 missionaries in 46 countries at this time. “Team Expansions’ goal is to reach the unreached people and groups around the world by targeting specific ethnic groups, many in southeast Asia, northern Africa, the Middle East and India,” said Hartson. He said their work in the Louisville headquarters will involve handling the logistics and planning for training events for those missionaries who will be moving into the mission fields According to Hartson there are 16,700 people who do not have any sustainable Christian witness to share with See CALL |‌ A2 Al and Donna Hartson MIDDLEPORT — While the Meigs County Commisisioners are officially taking over the operation of the Rutland water and sewer system tomorrow, the anticipation is still that Middleport Village will be assuming that responsibility within the next few weeks. However, effectively immediately, the Commissioners will handle all the responsibilities including water distribution, sewage collection and treatment, and maintenance, as well as collections for service, and maintenance of the system. The Commissoners, Middleport officials and their respective attorneys have been in negotiations about the best way to handle the maintenance and operation of the system for several months and a contract between the two is being reconciled to make it acceptance to both parties. As it stands now Middleport village will have a third reading on ordinance pertaining to the contract at the April 8 meeting. Assuming it passes then it will be adopted and then referred to the Commissioners for their action. An effort to move the process along was taken at the March 25 meeting by giving the ordinance not only the second reading but by declaring it as an emergency measure so that it the third reading could be passed and the ordinance adopted and sent to the Commissioners for their action. Council members Rae Moore, Sandy Brown, Craig Darst and Emerson Heighton voted to do that, while Penny Burge asked for addition time to review the document and Roger Manley voted against the action. Since the vote was four in favor and two against, that being a majority, it was assumed it passed. However, Mayor Michael Gerlach soon found out that while the Ohio Revised Code required only a majority for emergency action on ordinances, it’s different in Middleport. He said he was looking over the Rules of Council which are adopted every year and that it clearly states to set aside the three readings requires a vote of five Council members. He said he consulted with Mick Barr, solicitor, and both that Monday’s action was invalid and that the contract (ordinance) needs to await the third reading.

Anthony has completed his jail sentence and been released. A spokesperson with the Southwestern Regional Jail in Holden confirmed Anthony’s sentence expired on March 7 at which time he was released. The spokesperson said there was no probation or alternative sentencing involved with Anthony’s release. In short, he served his time and was free to go. Anthony was sentenced to 18 months in jail for four misdemeanors back in May which was 10 months ago. The spokesperson for the Southwestern Regional Jail said inmates with sentences over six months are allowed to work as maintenance trustees or attend special classes to get credit applied as deductions of time from their sentence — this was the case for Anthony which allowed for an earlier release. Last year, Anthony’s attorney filed a motion on his behalf in Mason County Circuit Court for consideration of alternative sentencing — i.e. home confinement or day report. Anthony later withdrew this motion before it was ruled upon. Anthony was not convicted of any felonies when he agreed to a plea agreement which included conviction on the misdemeanors of brandishing, shooting near a dwelling, fraudulent scheme and embezzlement. Anthony was also required to relinquish his law enforcement certification to the state of West Virginia, resign from office, withdrawal from seeking reelection in the May 2012 primary, not seek any other elected office in the future, and write an apology to the citizens and officer holders — all of which he has done.

One of the major accomplishments during Hartson’s tenure as pastor of the Middleport Church of Christ was construction of the the Family Life Center across the street from the church. Opening in May 1997, it has been a place for many community activities as well as church events. The spacious building features a large auditorium/ gymnasium for meetings and athletic events, a stage for performance, a complete kitchen where food can be prepared for free dinners for the hungry or community gatherings, and several smaller rooms for educational or social gatherings on the mezzanine. In addition to his work as the church pastor, Hartson has been active in community Christian events and organizations particularly those involving youth. He is a past president of the Middleport Ministerial Association and the Meigs County Right to Life organization, and has been active with the Prayer Task Force and the Opiate Task Force. He served on the Board of Directors at the Ohio Valley Christian Assembly Camp, and was involved with the Fellowship of Christian Students at Meigs High School. He also helped with the Youth League Baseball and Don Vaughan’s group of boy scouts. His wife has also been active over the years in business and community events while rearing the couple’s three children. As for their future plans, Hartson said they hope to work eight to 10 years in the mission program and then return to Middleport to retire. Meanwhile, their daughter and her family will be living in the Hartson homeplace. After commenting about how much the family has enjoyed living here, Hartson concluded by saying that, “going into missionary now is what the Lord has called us to do.” regular meeting will be held on Monday, April 8. Gerlach explained that the third reading at a regular meeting , in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, requires only a simple majority vote. “I don’t see a problem with this, just a delay in getting the project under way,” he said. Once Middleport approves the contract, it will go to the Commissioners for their action. The operation of the Meigs County Water and Sewer System fell to the County Commissioners when Rutland defaulted on the loans and the Environmental and Protection Agency (EPA) and the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP) became involved. Middleport Village, because of its efficiency in operating its own water and sewer systems, was singled out by the Commissioners sometime ago as the best resource for assuming the on the basis of insufficient evidence,” the entry reads. “The trial court and defense counsel both failed to recognize that the jury should have been instructed as to the lesser-included offenses of reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter. Moreover, the trial court and defense counsel allowed Kansas to be convicted based upon inadmissible and prejudicial prior-bad-act and character evidence. Accordingly, Kansas’ conviction for the aggravated murder of J.G. cannot stand.” Following a three-day trial whereby the defendant herself took the stand, vehemently upholding her innocence, Grube was found guilty by a jury of aggravated murder and child endangerment on October 1, 2010. The jury deliberated for approximately five hours before returning with their verdict. A sentence of life imprisonment was subsequently handed down in this case, with an additional eight year sentence for child endangerment and Grube began serving her sentence on October 7, 2010. An appeal in this case was later filed in this case with the Court of Appeals of Ohio, Fourth Appellate District, and in a decision signed by presiding judge Matthew W. McFarland, the appeals court affirms the judgement in this case, while also causing this case to be remanded to the trial court (the Gallia County Common Pleas Court) based on Grube’s argument that aggravated murder and child endangerment are allied offenses in this case and must be merged for the purposes of sentencing. Allied offenses, or offenses that could have occurred from the same act by the defendant, must be merged at sentencing under Ohio law. Upon consideration of this argument, the appeals court upheld that the common pleas court must look once again at this case and re-sentence Grube after considering whether the child endangerment charge was committed separately from the aggravated murder charge. The entry states, “If the offenses were not committed with a single state of mind, they will not be merged. This may be a difficult determination to make, based on our review of the evidence contained in the record. Accordingly, we sustain Appellant’s [Grube’s] third assignment of error …” The court further over- Health Check Clinic RACINE — The Southern Health Clinic will be offering fasting cholesterol and blood sugar testing on April 9 and 10 from 8 to 11 a.m. each day.

Since the positions the Hartsons are going into are non-salaried, they have been working for several months to raise the financial support they will need.

The proposed contract calls for the Commissioners to pay all expenses involved in the operation , including maintenance, the salaries of new employees as needed, any overtime work for Middleport village workers, and any equipment purchases if needed. Middleport’s role as described in the contract would be to operate and maintain, as well as to handle all accounting and billing aspects and maintain the system new employee as needed. It has been repeated been stressed that the village of Middleport must benefit financially from the project. It has been estimated that $18,000 annually will be generated from taking on the operation of the Rutland system. If it does not work out to the benefit of the citizens of Middleport, then there is a clause in the contract which provides that Middleport can discontinue handling the entire project. Appeal From Page A1 The fractures were sustained from an “unusual amount of force,” according to expert witness testimony at trial. The memorandum filed on Grube’s behalf with the Ohio Supreme Court further explains that the appeal in this case involves a “substantial constitutional question” and should be heard by the state’s highest court. “Kansas Grube did not purposefully cause of the death of her two-monthold son, J.G., and the trial court entered a conviction against Kansas for the aggravated murder of J.G.

Pursuant to this decision of the court of appeals, the Gallia County Common Pleas Court subsequently scheduled a hearing in this case on April 17 to determine whether or not the convictions were based on a single act of the defendant. However, in an subsequent entry, Assistant Gallia County Prosecutor Eric Mulford moved the court to continue the hearing based upon the fact that the defendant had filed a notice of appeal of the Fourth District Court of Appeals decision with the Ohio Supreme Court. A journal entry filed on March 26 and signed by Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans orders the hearing scheduled for April 17 to be continued until further notice. �Sunday, March 31, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Twice-threatened Ohio base gets new mission, jobs Gallia County Local Briefs Road closure HARRISON TWP. — Gallia County Engineer, Brett A.

The state Senate unanimously passed a bill Friday that would allow local health departments to charge people for tests for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The health departments will charge on a sliding scale and will continue to provide free testing for those that cannot afford it. Local health departments had been providing those tests free of charge. But in the last two years West Virginia has lost more than $600,000 in federal funding for its HIV-AIDS program.

I hope this letter finds you all well and able. I’m writing because someone needed to … The other evening while sitting waiting on my son to emerge from yet another of the many extra-curricular activities to which we (his mother and I) seem to be endlessly taking him and his younger sister, one of those songs came on the radio. You know the one. It hung in the air and whispered long forgotten memories of you and me and how thirty-five years ago we played together in that cold winter of 1977/78; our senior year at Gallia Academy. As I sat there transfixed with that song washing over me, I went crashing back through a myriad of memories all flashing round me … and how I thought of Teresa and Lynne and Christie and Kim and Cathy and so many of you all in that instant. It seemed strange to me how I could just drive off to college that hot summer afternoon in August of 1978 not knowing that I might never again make Gallipolis my residence. It also occurred to me, all in that same instant, that Gallipolis will always be my real home … the place where we grew up and learned to make our way in the classroom and then the playground and then the neighborhood and then the town and then the world. How in that winter of thirty-five years ago we all went through our days transfixed on the things our music spoke of with little real-world experience yet to show for these things we could not yet know of, but now we all know too well; things like real love, deep laughter, old friendships, as well as birth, death, loss, pain, suffering and so many things that our lives have since taught each of us. And while my life taught me these things on a road very different than many of yours, that road began and continues to reflect back on Gallipolis and GAHS. So now, I am older, fatter, have less hair, more wrinkles and less time than I had back then. And yet I still think of all of you with great fondness and reflection because you were the folks that walked with me from the time I was a boy to that point where I reached the edge of town and had to go out into the world and make it on my own. You were my friends during the most informative and inspirational years of life. You are more than a series of posts and IMs from Facebook and we should see to it that we do not allow that to be all that we will ever be again. So what is he saying, you may ask. It’s been thirty-five years now. If not now, then when? I don’t want to be just that solitary still photo in the Facebook list and the occasional “Like” to something someone else posts. Yes, right now we sit here in early spring, but like that spring of 1978, this season too will fade and fly away to another summer. Let’s swim at Cora Falls; let’s all eat at Remo’s; let’s drive the loop from the Shake Shoppe to the landing and back again for hours on end. Let’s do a pickup football game in the park and go to Mound Hill and gaze down on our home town together. Let’s find each other one more time before we lose any more of us to time itself. Gather the clan from 1978 and any of those surrounding classes that were like classmates to us. Let’s drink cold beers and burn wood at Terri’s riverbank. Let’s come from all the places we now call home to overrun the town we all will always call home; and many still do – Gallipolis.

Brian Griffin – GAHS ’78 Reader: No good deed goes unpunished Dear Editor, My name is Penny Litman. I managed the Perennial Cat Shelter from January 16 to July 16, 2012. First I would like to thank my volunteers and the public support I received while there. Before I became manager/director of the shelter, I volunteered there, transported cats to the vet, fostered several, Facebook page, and many other duties. When I fostered, I paid my own vet bills, food for kittens and meds for them — I never turned in a bill for this. I resigned due to not having the support of the board. After the previous director left, I was met with much opposition. This came from certain people, and I will not mention names. Since I left the shelter, I have been confronted with many things. I go to vets offices, and I’m told about how they have came in and run their mouths. (Again no names.) I have had a police report filed stating that I stole from the shelter; I have nothing that belongs to the shelter. I have been accused of taking food, cages and other items from the shelter. I was told by a friend where this stuff is. I have purchased items for my cats. I have 23 and love them — every one. As for the building being unlocked, there some people who had keys that had not been turned in. They still have them even though the lock has been changed. This building was found unlocked by several of us. They said I took money from the vet boxes July 31, and I turned my keys to the treasurer on July 15 and left the shelter keys in drawer at shelter like I was told to do. I was even accused of stealing cats when it is a fact everyone there has adopted cats with no fee. Part of volunteering there. Groups wonder why they get no support. This is the reason why: You get a swift kick in the pants when you don’t kiss butt and that’s putting it nicely. Penny Litman Rio Grande, Ohio Reader upset by taxes, calls for federal budget Dear Editor, The U.S. Senate wants an income tax increase, in order for the Senate to do their constitutional duty by passing and implementing a federal budget. President Obama was elected in 2010 and enjoyed a Democrat-controlled Senate and House of Representatives from 2010 to 2012. In those two years, the United States did not have a budget, but in 2010 the Democrat-controlled Senate and House passed an income tax increase. I call attention to “Pub 15 (circular E), Employers tax guide, (2011),” that my $417 a week, small pension check, my federal income taxes were raised from $15 to $26 a week, an $11 or 58-percent tax increase. With this 58-percent federal income tax increase, my West Virginia state income tax increased an additional five percent. In 2011, the people of West Virginia, had a federal income tax and a West Virginia state income tax increase and still did not receive a federal budget from the Democrat controlled White House, Senate or House of Representatives. Last year, Congress increased income taxes on the rich. Of course, West Virginia added an additional five percent of this increase to its state income tax. We now have had two more tax increases for a total of four income tax increases and still no budget out of the Senate. Now, in 2012, Congress added a fifth income tax increase by increasing our Social Security and Medicare taxes. We now have had five income tax increases and still no budget out of the Senate. 2013, brings the call from the Senate for a sixth federal income tax increase, with a seventh income tax increase by the state of West Virginia adding an additional five percent to this federal income tax increase. I would believe that three federal income tax increases along with two West Virginia state income tax increases, with an additional federal and state income tax increase looming, that enough is enough. Also, let’s not forget that in two years, company-provided health insurance will be taxed as income. Another two federal and West Virginia income tax increases. And, still no Federal budget? To our two West Virginia United States Senators and to the West Virginia state legislature: would you folks mind terribly if my wife and I eat tonight?

Federal money helps Ohio medical providers Death Notices CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio doctors and other care providers are using millions of dollars of federal money to build electronic health records systems. Ohio has received $531.3 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as of March 1, the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer newspaper reported Friday. The money has gone to more than 12,500 physicians, hospitals and others. Ohio is sixth in the country for the number of providers receiving support. “The goal of the electronic health records network is for treatment and diagnostic information to follow patients wherever they choose to seek care,” Dan Paoletti, CEO of the Ohio Health Information Partnership, told the newspaper. Providers seeking the federal money can each receive as much as $44,000 over five years from Medicare or $64,000 over six years from Medicaid, said Catherine Costello, project manager for Ohio Health Information Partnership. They are permitted to draw from only one of the two government health care funds. According to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, the initial cost for a provider to set up an electronic health records system is $15,000 to $80,000. Care providers are not required to have electronic records, Costello said, but if they haven’t adopted the technology by the end of 2014, they could face cutbacks in their Medicare reimbursement starting in 2015. “The goal is to move away from record keeping strictly for documentation and billing and toward using the information to measure improvements in health,” Paoletti said. Providers taking the federal money must report annually to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services three required clinical quality measures and three other measures that fit their patient population. For example, an internal medicine doctor serv- ing adults is required to track tobacco use, blood pressure and weight management, as well as three others, such as the number of patients tested for diabetes, cardiac failure and those over 50 receiving flu shots. Electronic records will not change how doctors and patients make decisions about care, Costello said. Patients still will have to give permission for their electronic health records to be accessed by any caregiver or institution. Ohio has about 183 hospitals and 23,000 practicing physicians. Paoletti said Ohio has the potential to receive a total of $1 billion to convert to electronic records. South Africa: Mandela making progress in hospital JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela is making “steady progress” while being treated for a recurring lung infection and he had a full breakfast on Friday, South African authorities said. The office of President Jacob Zuma released a statement in which it said the former president and anti-apartheid leader was in good spirits after being taken late Wednesday to a hospital in the capital, Pretoria. “The doctors report that he is making steady progress. He remains under treatment and observation in hospital,” the statement said. “We would like to repeat our appeal for the media and the public to respect the privacy of Madiba and his family,” it said, using Mandela’s clan name, a term of affection. It is 94-year-old Mandela’s third trip to a hospital since December. At that time, he spent three weeks in a hospital in Pretoria, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones.

ON DIGITAL SERVICES FOR YOUR HOME Earlier this month, he was hospitalized overnight for what authorities said was a successful, scheduled medical test. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been particularly vulnerable to respiratory problems since contracting tuberculosis during his 27-year imprisonment for fighting white racist rule in his country. President Barack Obama said Thursday he was concerned about Mandela’s health, but noted he was as strong physically as he has been in leadership and character. Obama said he was sending his thoughts and prayers to Mandela, and he described him as a hero and an inspiration who gave everything to his people. Zuma’s office said Thursday that doctors were acting with extreme caution because of the advanced age of Mandela, who has become increasingly frail in recent years. Mandela, who became South Africa’s first black president in 1994, is a revered figure in his homeland, which has named buildings and other places after him and uses his image on national bank notes.

That makes arguments weighing the cost against the health benefits politically potent. The proposal to reduce sulfur in gasoline and tighten auto emission standards, released Friday, would raise gasoline prices by less than a penny per gallon, the Environmental Protection Agency says. But the oil industry points to its own study putting the cost between 6 and 9 cents a gallon. The EPA also said its proposal would add about $130 to the price of new vehicles, beginning in 2025. The administration says the costs to consumers are worth the payoff: billions of dollars in health benefits from reductions in smog- and soot-forming pollution. The agency predicts $7 in health benefits for every dollar spent to implement the new rules. The agency must hold public hearings before finalizing the rules. It plans for them to take effect in 2017. The proposal was praised by environmentalists and health advocates, as well as automakers who say it will help the U.S. catch up with the cleaner fuels used in other nations. California already uses the sulfur standard. EPA Acting Administrator Bob Perciasepe said the proposal is designed to “protect the environment and public health in an affordable and practical way.” Opponents say gasoline prices are stubbornly high already and Americans shouldn’t have to pay more. The oil industry, Republicans and some Democrats had urged the EPA to hold off on proposing the tighter regulations. “With $4 a gallon gas the norm in many parts of the country, we cannot afford policies that knowingly raise gas prices,” House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton said Friday. Instead, the Obama administration should work to increase energy supplies by approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada and other projects, said Upton, R-Mich. Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., who is chairman of the energy and power subcommittee, called the sulfur rule “another example of an overzealous EPA” and said lawmakers would give it a hard look. Environmentalists hailed the proposal as potentially the most significant in President Barack Obama’s second term.

The investigation is still very much in its early stages,” Bradley said. Harrington voluntarily gave up his license, closed his offices in Tulsa and suburban Owasso, and is cooperating with investigators, said Kaitlin Snider, a spokeswoman for the Tulsa Health Department. He faces a hearing April 19, when his license could be permanently revoked. “It’s uncertain how long those practices have been in place,” Snider said. “He’s been practicing for 36 years.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is consulting on the case, and agency spokeswoman Abbigail Tumpey said such situations involving dental clinics are rare. Last year a Colorado oral surgeon was accused of reusing needles and syringes, prompting letters to 8,000 patients, Tumpey said. It wasn’t clear whether anyone was actually infected. “We’ve only had a handful of dental facilities where we’ve had notifications in the last decade,” Tumpey said. The Oklahoma Dentistry Board lodged a 17-count complaint against Harrington, saying he was a “men- ace to the public health by reasons of practicing dentistry in an unsafe or unsanitary manner.” Among the claims was one detailing the use of rusty instruments in patients known to have infectious diseases. “The CDC has determined that rusted instruments are porous and cannot be properly sterilized,” the board said. Health officials are sending letters to 7,000 known patients but cautioned that they don’t know who visited his clinics before 2007. The letters urge the patients to be tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV — viruses typically spread through intravenous drug use or unprotected sex, not occupational settings. Harrington could not be reached for comment Thursday. A message at his Tulsa office said it was closed, and the doctor’s answering service referred callers to the Tulsa Health Department. Phone numbers listed for Harrington were disconnected. A message left with Harrington’s malpractice attorney in Tulsa, Jim Secrest II, was not immediately returned. Harrington’s Tulsa practice is in a tony part of town, on a row of some of the city’s most upscale medical practices. The white-and-green stucco, two-story dental clinic has the doctor’s name in letters on the facade. 60398709 TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The crisp, stucco exterior of an Oklahoma dental clinic concealed what health inspectors say they found inside: rusty instruments used on patients with infectious diseases and a pattern of unsanitary practices that put thousands of people at risk for hepatitis and the virus that causes AIDS. State and local health officials planned to mail notices urging 7,000 patients of Dr. W. Scott Harrington to seek medical screenings for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Inspectors allege workers at his two clinics used dirty equipment and risked cross-contamination to the point that the state Dentistry Board branded Harrington a “menace to the public health.” “The office looked clean,” said Joyce Baylor, who had a tooth pulled at Harrington’s Tulsa office 1½ years ago. In an interview, Baylor, 69, said she’ll be tested next week to determine whether she contracted any infection. “I’m sure he’s not suffering financially that he can’t afford instruments,” Baylor said of Harrington. Health officials opened their investigation after a patient with no known risk factors tested positive for both hepatitis C and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Robinson said the rules would reduce asthma, respiratory problems and premature death. “We know of no other air pollution control strategy that can achieve such substantial, cost-effective and immediate emission reductions,” said Bill Becker, executive director of the National Ohio man accused of whipping mentally disabled man WAYNESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio landlord charged with whipping an adult tenant with a belt on his buttocks for falling behind on his rent has been accused of whipping another man with a belt and a paddle, according to court records obtained Friday. In a lawsuit filed in southwestern Ohio’s Warren County on Tuesday, Mark Neace accuses Ronald Kronenberger of spanking him on four separate occasions while Neace worked as a volunteer in Kronenberger’s grocery store in Waynesville. The lawsuit, which describes Neace as mentally disabled, says the whippings caused him “severe emotional distress.” Kronenberger’s home phone number does not accept messages and the number at his grocery store in Waynesville rang busy Friday. His Dayton attorney, Lawrence Greger, declined to comment. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, but Neace’s attorney said he thinks it’s worth up to $100,000. “This guy cried in my office,” attorney Eric Deters said. “People with a disability like this have an innocence about them and that innocence being shattered is really sad.” 60386725 �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2013 mdsports@civitasmedia.com INSIDE Sports QB Braxton Miller making headway with Buckeyes B3 RedStorm, Shawnee divide softball twinbill Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande softball team ran its winning streak to 11 straight games before rival Shawnee State parlayed a dazzling pitching performance by Allie Chapman and some shoddy defense by the RedStorm into a MidSouth Conference doubleheader split, Thursday afternoon, at Rio Softball Park. Rio Grande posted a 5-0 win in the opener, while the Bears rolled to a mercy rule-shortened 8-0 win in the nightcap. The twinbill split left the RedStorm at 12-7 overall and 3-5 in the MSC, while Shawnee State moved to 4-8 overall and 3-3 in league play. In the game one victory, Rio Grande pushed across a first inning run without the aid of a base hit and added four more runs in the fourth inning to back a strong pitching performance by reigning MSC Pitcher of the Week Kimber Hazlett. The Utica, Ohio freshman right-hander scattered six hits and did not walk a batter in the shutout win. She also struck out five batters. Rio’s first inning run was the result of four walks issued by Shawnee starter Ali Thompson to the first five batters she faced – the last of which, to sophomore Haley Gwin (Troy, OH) – forced in a run. That’s how things stayed until the fourth inning when the Bears com- mitted all four of their errors - to go along with three RedStorm hits - and Rio scored four times. Gwin opened the inning with a double to leftcenter and scored as a result of a throwing error on freshman Kim Rollins’ (Liberty Township, OH) sacrifice bunt attempt. One out later, senior Jaymie Rector (Heath, OH), Rollins’ courtesy runner, stole second and moved to third on a single to right-center by freshman Mattie Lanham (Rio Grande, OH). Rector scored moments later on perfectly executed squeeze bunt by freshman Claudia Farney (Rio Grande, OH) and Lanham, who had advanced to second base on the throw home following her single, moved to third. Senior Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH) followed with a bunt single to score Lanham and ended up at third base after a pair of throwing errors on the same play. Walk scored moments later to make it 5-0 when sophomore Jessi Robin- son’s grounder to shortstop was errored. Rollins also added a double in the winning effort for Rio Grande. Ericka Leighty and Abbey Barrett had two hits each in a losing cause for Shawnee State. One of Leighty’s hits was a double. Thompson allowed just six hits and two earned runs in suffering the loss, but also issued five walks. She also struck out seven.

The Big Blacks (2-4) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts jumped out to an early 4-0 lead through three innings of play. Both teams plated a run each in the fourth and sixth frames, which allowed PPHS to secure the fourrun decision while improving their season mark at home to 2-2 overall. Both Point Pleasant and Scott produced five hits and three errors apiece in the contest. Besides the run output, Point stranded six runners on the bags while the Skyhawks (1-3) left four runners on base. The Big Blacks struck first blood in the bottom of the second after plating three runs on a pair of hits, a walk and a hit bastman. Bruce McDermitt started things with a one-out single, then Kodi Stranahan walked and Steven Porter was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Alex Somerville delivered a two-RBI single to plate McDermitt and Stranahan for a 2-0 contest, then Tylun Campbell hit into a fielder’s choice that plated Porter for the early 3-0 edge. Austen Toler came up with a two-out double in the third and later scored on a McDermitt single, which gave the hosts a 4-0 lead after three complete. Scott finally broke into the scoring column in the top of the fourth after a leadoff single by Forrest Spurlock turned into a run after a pair of Point Pleasant errors made it a 4-1 contest. PPHS responded with a one-out single by Somerville, who later scored on a sacrifice fly by Jacob Gardner — giving Point a 5-1 edge after four complete. Spurlock added the guests’ final run of the game in the sixth with a leadoff home run to left, making it a 5-2 contest. A walk and an error allowed Somerville to plate the finale score of the night — wrapping up the four-run triumph. Toler went the distance for the complete-game victory, allowing one earned run, five hits and a walk while striking out five. Spurlock took the losing decision after surrendering five runs (four earned), five hits and three walks over four innings while fanning four. McDermitt led the hosts with two hits, followed by Somerville, Campbell and Toler with a safety apiece. Somerville and Gardner each drove in two runs, while Somerville led the hosts with two runs scored. Spurlock had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run for Skyhawks. Logan Phillips and Cody Brown also had a hit each for the guests.

Sissonville fends off Lady Knights, 6-5 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — An opportunity missed. The Point Pleasant softball team had multiple chances to knot things up in the bottom of the seventh, but ultimately left the game-tying run stranded at third base Thursday night during a 6-5 setback to visiting Sissonville in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The host Lady Knights (1-2) led 2-1 after two innings of play, but the Lady Indians (42) rallied with five consecutive scores to secure a 6-2 cushion midway through the fifth. PPHS countered with three runs in its half of the fifth to pull within a run with two innings left in the contest. Point — which retired SHS in order in each of the last two frames — left a baserunner stranded in the sixth, then had its golden opportunity arrive in the top of the seventh after Megan Davis and Karissa Cochran led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Bekah Darst grounded into a fielder’s choice, which advanced the runners to second and third with just one out in the inning. Kaci Riffle followed by striking out on three straight pitches, and Sissonville picked up the win after Madison Barker grounded out to first for the final out. Point Pleasant — which outhit the guests by a 10-8 overall margin — stranded eight runners on base, while the Lady Indians left nine on the bags. Both teams committed two errors apiece in the contest as well. Afterwards, PPHS softball coach Kent Price noted that the final outcome was a little disappointing — but it wasn’t for a lack of trying.

CATHARINE, Ky. — St. Catharine College rallied from an early one-run deficit and held on down the stretch to post a 3-2 win over the University of Rio Grande, Friday afternoon, in the opening game of a Mid-South Conference weekend series at Edelen-Haydon Field. The Patriots improved to 25-10 overall and 6-4 in the MSC with the victory. Rio Grande dropped to 18-15 overall and 6-9 in league play. Six of the RedStorm’s nine conference losses have been by one run. Senior Ryan Robertson (4-4) was the hard-luck loser for Rio, scattering 10 hits in a complete game effort. The left-hander from Waverly, Ohio walked two and struck out one. The RedStorm managed just four hits in the loss, three of which belonged to senior Zach Dumler (Vandalia, OH). Senior Vince Perry’s (Cypress, CA) RBI double in the eighth inning was the team’s only other hit. St. Catharine starter Bruce Tolliver earned his fourth win in seven decisions, but had to survive wildness throughout his 5-1/3 inning stint. He allowed just the three singles by Dumler and one run while striking out five, but also issued six walks. Matt Wagner allowed one hit, one walk and a run over the final 3-2/3 innings to pick up the save. He also struck out three. Both teams stranded 11 runners on base. Of the runners left stranded by Rio, seven were left in scoring position. The RedStorm left the bases loaded in the second inning, strand- ed runners at second and third in the sixth, left a runner at second in the eighth and stranded runners at third in both the fifth and ninth innings. Rio Grande took a 1-0 lead in the second when freshman Chris Ford (Athens, OH) led off with a walk before being forced out at second on a grounder to shortstop by sophomore Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH). Freshman Kirk Yates (Chillicothe, OH) was then hit by a pitch, setting the stage for a run-scoring single to center by Dumler. One out later, sophomore Tyler Donaldson (Dayton, OH) drew a walk to load the bases, but senior Kyle Perez (Casselberry, FL) grounded out to shortstop to end the inning.

Burke bounced back from a scoreless first half to score 23 points, including a long, never-a-doubt 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation, and Michigan rallied to beat Kansas 87-85 in overtime in the South Regional semifinals Friday night. The fourth-seeded Wolverines wiped out a 10-point Kansas lead in the last 3 minutes of regulation, and Burke gave them their first lead since early in the game with another long 3 to open Michigan’s scoring in overtime. “This guy was a champ all the way through it,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. They’ll certainly remember this one in Ann Arbor for a while. The Wolverines (29-7) reached the regional finals for the first time since the Fab Five era 19 years ago, the last time they were in the round of 16. Ben McLemore had 20 points to lead the Jayhawks (31-6), who looked to be on their way to a third straight regional final before Michigan’s improbable rally. Instead, they became the third No. 1 seed to fall in this tournament, joining Gonzaga and Indiana. The Wolverines were down five when Tim Hardaway Jr. missed a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left, but Glenn Robinson III won a scramble for the ball and hit a reverse layup to force Kansas to win the game at the free throw line. The Jayhawks couldn’t do it. Burke’s tying shot — he pulled up from well beyond the arc just right of key — came with 4.2 seconds left after Elijah Johnson missed a free throw moments after hitting two to keep the Kansas lead at five. Burke had scored on a layup to get Michigan back to within three. “I’m so proud of my team because a lot of people say we’re young, but we stuck with it tonight,” Burke said. “I’m just so happy right now. We stayed together and we got the win.” The lead changed hands five times in overtime — the first OT game of the tournament — the last when Mitch McGary, who led Michigan with 25 points and 14 rebounds, hit a short jumper with Johnson in his face to put Michigan ahead for good 83-82. The Jayhawks got a stop and had about 9 seconds to tie or win, but a jumbled possession ended with Naadir Tharpe missing a running jumper at the buzzer. “Well, this will go down as one of the toughest games obviously that we’ve been a part of … and I’ve been a part of,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. The Wolverines wiped out a 10-point Kansas lead on a 14-4 run in the final 2:52 of regulation. Burke had eight points, including two 3-pointers, in the stretch. Burke gave Michigan its first lead since early in the game with his long 3-pointer to make it 79-78 early in overtime. He hit a jumper on the next possession as well. Burke was scoreless in the first half for the Wolverines, then got his team going by scoring eight straight points early in the second half to momentarily cut the deficit to two. “In the second half, coach told me to be more aggressive so I looked for my shot more,” he said. But Kansas restored a 10-point lead built on dominating inside in the first half, this time with a 3-pointer and a tomahawk dunk on a breakaway by McLemore and a three-point play from Johnson. Johnson, who picked up three fouls in just three minutes of playing time in the first half, gave Kansas its biggest lead at 68-54 with a 3-pointer from the corner with just under 7 minutes left. Travis Releford had 16 points for the Jayhawks, while Jeff Withey had 12 points and eight rebounds. Patriots From Page B1 Adrian Garica led off with a single, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch, and scored on a single to right-center by Jeremy Turpin. One out later, Turpin scored as a result of back-to-back singles by Carlos Hernandez and C.J. Englestad. St. Catharine made it 3-1 in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Garcia. After getting the tying runs in scoring position but failing to score in the sixth, the RedStorm drew to within a run in the eighth when Dumler reached on a two-out walk and scored on Perry’s double deep down the left field line. Wagner retired Donaldson on a fly to left moments later, though, to strand courtesy runner Ethan Abell (Mount Vernon, OH) and keep the Patriots in front. Rio threatened one final time in the ninth when Perez was hit by a pitch to open the inning and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) and a two-out balk by Wagner, but Ford grounded out to second to end the game. Hernandez and Garcia had three hits each in the win for SCC. The two teams will close out the series with a doubleheader on Saturday.

The Irish completed the 12-2 victory with a pair of runs in the sixth inning to enforce the mercy rule. Hunter Bradley was credited with the loss after starting and pitching 2.1 innings in which he gave up eight runs, four earned, on six his and a walk. Tyler Nutter threw 1.2 innings in relief and gave up two runs on two hits and two walks. Wyatt Zuspan also threw 1.2 innings out of the bullpen and he gave up a pair of runs on five hits. Bradley and Zuspan each struck out two batters, while Nutter fanned one. Bradley hit three CCHS batters, while Nutter and Zuspan each hit one. Kane Roush and Garrett Miller both went 1-for2 to lead Wahama’s offense, while Zuspan went 1-for-3 from the plate. Roush had the team’s lone run batted in, while Miller and Roush each scored a run. Roush had the lone WHS stolen base and was the only Wahama player to be hit by a pitch in the game. Nutter drew Wahama’s lone walk.

Chapman also finished with eight strikeouts. Yates had a first inning sacrifice fly, Tara Prater had an RBI single in the second and Barrett had a run-scoring hit in the third to give the Bears a 3-0 lead after three innings.

Victories of any kind have been even rarer lately for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Evan Turner scored 23 points and the 76ers beat Cleveland 97-87 on Friday night, sending the Cavaliers to their seasonhigh seventh straight loss. Philadelphia, which is 2-16 on the road since Jan. 2, took control in the second half to keep its faint playoff hopes alive. “Our guys are playing to win, which is great,” coach Doug Collins said. “The spirit of the team is good, which I really like. This was a good win, and I’m very proud of our guys.” Philadelphia is ninth in the Eastern Conference, but sits 6 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot with 10 contests to play. Turner, who had three points at halftime, scored 13 in the first seven minutes of the third quarter and knocked down several timely shots to help the Sixers build their lead. “Any type of win is a great win,” he said. “I got in a good rhythm coming right out of halftime. Any time when I’m attacking, I feel like I can be successful. The shots started falling, which was definitely cool.” The last few weeks have been anything but cool for the Cavaliers, who played again without their starting backcourt of Kyrie Irving (bruised shoulder) and Dion Waiters (sore knee). Cleveland, which has the third-worst record in the East, was officially eliminated from postseason contention Thursday when Milwaukee defeated the Los Angeles Lakers. In addition to injuries, the Cavaliers’ previous three losses were particularly frustrating. Cleveland squandered a 27-point lead in the second half and lost to Miami at home, was blown out by 38 points in Houston the following game for its worst loss of the season and let a 14-point lead with eight minutes to play get away at home and lost at the buzzer against Boston on Wednesday.

(Submitted photo) QB Braxton Miller making headway with Buckeyes COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller laughs long and hard when asked if he’s bought up every available copy of the recent Sports Illustrated that had him on the cover. No, he said eventually, he didn’t corner the market. But he’s comfortable being a cover boy and readily accepts that if he continues to develop and the Buckeyes continue to win, then things such as a Heisman Trophy and other forms of individual recognition are inevitable. “You work hard for it and little things like that, it pays off,” he said Thursday night after a spring workout. “You just keep working, you never know.” Miller leads a Buckeyes offense that welcomes back nine starters, including almost everyone who touched the ball on a regular basis last season when Ohio State put up a surprising 12-0 record. Now Miller, already a starter for two full years, is prepping for his junior season at the controls of coach Urban Meyer’s offense. He knows big things are expected of the Buckeyes — and of him. “I’ve been hearing (about the high expectations) every time I go somewhere, ever since the last game of the season,” he said. “Finishing 12-0 was big. I’ll live with the expectation and keep working hard.” Late last season, Meyer and quarterbacks coach/ offensive coordinator Tom Herman agreed that Miller needed to get better at fundamentals such as footwork, throwing motion and decision making. Miller, an acclaimed high school recruit out of nearby Springfield, Ohio, has all the physical tools. He can run like the wind, can elude tacklers and has a strong arm. Now it’s necessary to get better. Immediately. “I would say if he was at a 1 this time last year and a 4 at the end of the season, he’s at a 6 right now,” Herman said. “He could be an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. It’s just a matter of the process and the teaching progression has to be at a pace where he can feel good about where he’s at. And then take the next step, and get really good at whatever he’s working on at that point, and then take the next step and the next step.” Miller finished fifth in the Heisman balloting a year ago after being selected as the Big Ten’s player of the year. He set a school record with 3,310 yards of total offense last fall, rushing for 1,271 yards and 13 touchdowns and passing for 2,039 more with 15 TDs and only six interceptions. The bar is raised constantly, it seems. Once Miller achieves something, the coaches expect more. Once he meets that standard, he’s asked to do something else. Meyer is satisfied with his pace of development, but makes it clear the 6-foot-2, 215-pounder still hasn’t scratched the surface. Miller learned a lot of bad habits when he was pressed into duty two years ago during Ohio State’s dreadful 6-7 season, starting as a freshman and learning while getting tossed to the wolves each Saturday. “He’s doing good. Not great, but he’s doing very good,” Meyer said earlier this week. “Not that he didn’t do good last year, but you wish you didn’t have to play him that first year. He wasn’t ready to play. And he still was Big Ten freshman of the year. It just tells you how talented he is. But his quarterback development is behind a little bit.” Miller worked with a Kyle Robertson l Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer and Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5) celebrate a 17-16 win over Michigan State Spartans, while singing Carmen Ohio, at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan, Saturday, September 29, 2012. passing-game guru in Los Angeles over the holidays and plans on getting more instruction this summer. His teammates say he’s improving by leaps and bounds. His freshman year, he was overwhelmed by everything. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t learn some valuable lessons. “In some ways it was good,” he said. “Being a young guy, coming in, stepping in, taking the first snap as a freshman. (Having to handle) the pressure. Taking the snaps in front of all those fans. It’s big.” During his second season, he was trying to learn a new offense and get to know a new coaching staff. Now he’s finding his foot- ing — literally. “I just think he’s got a great grasp of the offense right now,” said his backup and good friend, Kenny Guiton. “Last year around this time we were just trying to learn it. Having a year in, I think he’s learned it and now he’s just going out and having fun with it instead of thinking.” NEW 2013 Plus tax, title & fees 800-446-0842 252 Upper River Rd., Gallipolis, OH www.norrisnorthupdodge.com 60405264 �Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B4 Notices Miscellaneous Business Consulting Professional Services Foster Caregivers “A Place to Call Home” D&Y Carpentry Gallia, Jackson, Meigs Counties.

Paul Randolph was born in 1923, graduated from Wahama High School and lived in Mason County his whole life except for his service in the U.S. Navy. Randolph joined during World War II in March 1943 and soon left for Little Creek, Va. to do boat training, then was shipped to Florida for even more training and then to New York to prepare to depart for the Normandy invasion. As chance or fate would have it, Randolph became ill, and his unit left for Normandy without him. Had he gone, would his life have been different? Would he have made it home at all? Those questions will have to remain unanswered. What is known is Randolph recovered, was placed with a new unit and shipped off to England and then to France. Part of his travels were spent on the enormous troop ship the Aquitania. Randolph said traveling with thousands of servicemen on a huge boat wasn’t hard to get used to — the vomiting from seasickness was another matter, he joked. However, like all situations, you either make the best of it by getting used to it or continue to be seasick. As Randolph put it, he Submitted photo Randolph is pictured here in his U.S. Navy uniform. He joined in 1943 and learned to pilot smaller Landing Craft Mechanized boats. “got used to it.” Randolph did see his training to pilot the smaller Landing Craft Mechanized boats put to use in Cherbourg France when a German U Boat sunk an American ship in the Cherbourg Harbour. Randolph said his crew was only able to save three men from the sunken ship due to the icy, winter water. Also, Randolph helped pull one of the unexploded German bombs from the Cherbourg Harbour to shore and away from fellow servicemen. Had he gone to Normandy, would someone else have been there to do these chores? Again, another question arises about the powers of fate and circumstance and how one life affects another. Randolph eventually achieved the rank of Second Class Boatswain Mate. Still, he doesn’t feel he did “anything particularly special” while in the service and didn’t want to come across as bragging about that “anything.” “I don’t want to go back, but I’m glad I went,” Randolph joked about his adventure far from home when his country needed him and so many others. Homesick from the day he left West Virginia to the day he returned from the war, fate or coincidence stepped into his life once again. A photo of he and his brother, George, who served in the South Pacific, appeared in the Point Pleasant Register, as a type of announcement about their service in the U.S. Navy. Randolph’s future wife, Alice Wolfe, saw the photo in the newspaper and declared, “I’m going to marry him,” in reference to Paul. At that time, Alice and Beth Sergent l Daily Tribune Paul Randolph of Point Pleasant, pictured, will turn 90 on March 31. Randolph served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and by chance, or fate, was knocked out of being in the Normandy invasion. Paul hadn’t met or knew each other but as fate or chance had it, Paul saw her at restaurant one day in New Haven and sat down beside her — they were married for nearly 60 years before she passed away. Did the photo in the newspaper set the stage for a marriage of nearly 60 years? Or, did fate already have it planned whether Alice saw her husband’s face before she actually met him or not? Again, ques- tions which can never be answered about turning left instead of right — about sitting down next to a girl in a restaurant, or not —are left hanging in the air. Paul and Alice had two daughters, Stella Krebs and Pauletta King, both of Point Pleasant, and of course, grandkids followed, and life began to unfold either by chance or according to that master plan, depending on a person’s perspective. This Sunday, Paul will turn 90. When recently speaking to the Point Pleasant Register, he sat and talked about his life and how he understood how many in the younger generations didn’t understand the realities of his generation. “I wouldn’t have (understood) either if I hadn’t been there,” he said with a smile. After all, if you don’t show up, neither does chance or fate. Randolph joined during World War II in March 1943 and soon left for Little Creek, Va. to do boat training, then was shipped to Florida for even more training and then to New York to prepare to depart for the Normandy invasion.

Monroe, Eisenhower letters to be auctioned NEW YORK (AP) — Marilyn Monroe’s letter of despair to mentor Lee Strasberg, and Dwight D. Eisenhower’s heartfelt missives to his wife during World War II are among hundreds of historical documents being offered in an online auction. Monroe’s handwritten, undated letter to the famed acting teacher is expected to fetch $30,000 to $50,000 in the May 30 sale. “My will is weak but I can’t stand anything. I sound crazy but I think I’m going crazy,” Monroe wrote on Hotel Bel-Air letterhead stationery. “It’s just that I get before a camera and my concentration and everything I’m trying to learn leaves me. Then I feel like I’m not existing in the human race at all.” The 58 Eisenhower letters, handwritten between 1942 and 1945, range from news of the war to the Allied commander’s devotion to his wife, Mamie. They are believed to be among the largest group of Eisenhower letters to survive intact and could bring up to $120,000, said Joseph Maddalena, whose Profiles in History is auctioning the items. They are among 250 letters and documents being sold by an anonymous American collector. Selected items will be exhibited April 8-16 at Douglas Elliman’s Madison Avenue art gallery. Also included is a typed, undated draft letter from John Lennon to Linda and Paul McCartney that reflects the deep animosity between the two Beatles around the time of the foursome’s formal 1971 breakup. The two-page letter is unsigned and contains corrections. A photographic logo on the stationery shows Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono within a circle with their lips almost touching. “Do you really think most of today’s art came about because of the Beatles? I don’t believe you’re that insane — Paul — do you believe that? When you stop believing it you might wake up!” Lennon writes. It’s expected to fetch $40,000 to $60,000. Other highlights include two large photo albums that Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini exchanged prior to War World II. “When Mussolini and Hitler visited each other before the war, they would each have their photographers document their trips,” Maddalena said. “They really documented the regalia, the flags, the uniforms, tanks and all the pomp and circumstance, and them speaking and reviewing the troops.” The leather-bound albums, containing hundreds of images, have a pre-sale estimate of up to $50,000. The sale is the second of several planned online auctions of the anonymous collector’s artifacts. The entire collection contains 3,000 items. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence. Colorado last week became the first Western state to ratchet back gun rights in response to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Connecticut. Opponents warned that the gun controls would hurt hunters, especially an expansion of background-check requirements to apply to personal and online gun sales. Republican opponents of the new background-check law said it would make criminals of hunters lending each other weapons for weekend hunting trips. In response, Democrats changed the bill to give people a 72-hour grace period to share guns without triggering backgroundcheck requirements. Republicans then said the bill would imperil weeklong hunting trips. Gun rights advocates who said hunters would boycott Colorado in protest say they are following through on their threats. Michael Bane, a freelance producer for The Outdoor Channel, announced he will no longer film his four shows in Colorado. Hunting outfitters say people began canceling trips after the legislation passed, The Gazette of Colorado Springs reported. Northwest Colorado hunting guide Chris Jurney expects more state defections in a major tourism industry. Out-of-state hunters accounted for 15 percent of hunting licenses last year, 86,000, compared with 489,000 for residents. “There’s a united front of sportsmen that are tired of having their freedoms and liberties and fundamental rights taken away from them,” said Jurney, vice president of the Colorado Outfitters Asso- ‘America’s Most Wanted’ won’t be back on Lifetime NEW YORK (AP) — “America’s Most Wanted’ may have come to an end after 25 years. Lifetime network has confirmed it won’t be picking up the crimefighting series for another season. But the network says it’s developing a pilot for a new project with John Walsh, who created “America’s Most Wanted” in 1988. Hosted by Walsh, the series was a fixture on the Fox network until its abrupt cancellation in June 2011. During that run, the show helped bring almost 1,200 fugitives to justice. Lifetime revived the series in December 2011, ultimately airing 44 episodes. It most recently aired on the network last October. Walsh originally launched his crime-busting crusade in 1981, in the aftermath of the abduction and murder of his 6-year-old son, Adam. Shot Pakistani teen Malala Yousafzai writing book LONDON (AP) — Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot in the head by the Taliban as she returned home from school, is writing a book about the traumatic event and her long-running campaign to promote children’s education. Publisher Weidenfeld and Nicolson announced it would release “I am Malala” in Britain and Commonwealth countries this fall. Little, Brown and Co. will publish the 15-year-old’s memoir in the United States and much of the rest of the world. “Malala is already an inspiration to millions around the world. Reading her story of courage and survival will open minds, enlarge hearts, and eventually allow more girls and boys to receive the education they hunger for,” said Michael Pietsch, executive vice president and publisher of Little, Brown. A Taliban gunman shot Malala on Oct. 9 in northwestern Pakistan.

While legal possession of high-capacity magazines is grandfathered in, officials want to make sure they are still legal to use. “We believe there’s the potential for impact. That’s out of our control,” he said. “Hunting is a tool to manage wildlife populations, and we do not believe the impacts will affect that part of our mission.” Jurney said he expects the actual impact of gun regulations on Colorado hunters will be small. Varmint hunters tend to use high-capacity magazines, so they might be limited. The head of the Colorado Tourism Office, which tracks travel spending in Colorado, told The Associated Press there was no immediate data showing any impact from a hunting boycott. Al White said Colorado has the region’s friendliest licensure process for out-of-state hunters and a waiting list for big-game licenses. White touted the nation’s only over-the-counter licensing for elk hunting by out-of-state visitors. “You can’t do that in Wyoming. You can’t do that in Montana,” he said. Jeff Lepp, owner of Specialty Sports, a gun and hunting shop in Colorado Springs, predicts hunters are going to choose to visit other Rocky Mountain states. “Small mountain towns and rural towns in this state are going to lose a lot of money because you’re not going to see the number of outof-state hunters coming here,” he said. “Other states are going to see a growth.” Stephanie Filson Managing Editor sition to educating girls. The shooting sparked outrage in Pakistan and many other countries, and her story drew global attention to the struggle for women’s rights in Malala’s homeland. The teen even made the shortlist for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” in 2012. Malala was brought to the U.K. for treatment and spent several months in a hospital undergoing skull reconstruction and cochlear implant surgeries. She was released last month and has started attending school in Britain. Malala said in a statement Wednesday that she hoped telling her story would be “part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. “I hope the book will reach people around the world, so they realize how difficult it is for some children to get access to education,” she said. “I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can’t get education.” Publishers didn’t reveal the price tag for the book deal. �Sunday, March 31, 2013 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Sunday, March 31, 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, April 1, 2013: This year you will tend to be more adventuresome than in past years. You have unusually high energy and need a positive outlet. You communicate with excellence; people respond to you. If you are single, you are like a magnet — several admirers cannot stay away. You could be interested in someone who has a very unusual lifestyle. If you are attached, form a habit of jogging or walking every day, or else you could find yourself fighting with your sweetie. Your frustration level might be a problem. SAGITTARIUS encourages you to take risks. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Once more, you are energized and ready to go. Others respond to your efforts. Opportunities pop up left and right; know that you are fortunate. Trust yourself to know which way to turn. A call comes in from out of left field that makes you smile. Tonight: Hang out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Go with the moment, but be sure to include a friend or loved one in your plans. You might be in the throes of anger and trying to suppress your feelings. Know that they will come through anyway. The other party happily will work through this rift with you. Tonight: Togetherness. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer to a partner or an associate who seems to have a lot to share. This person might want to have an open discussion with you. Relate to him or her directly, especially if you feel angry or frustrated. Clearing the air will energize you. Tonight: Go for what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to approach a personal matter differently. You’ll open up to a positive change, mainly because your sixth sense pushes you in that direction. You are in a period where you make the right choices. Tonight: Back away from a controlling authority figure. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal issue.

Friends are a source of good news. Tonight: Ever playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension builds around a family member, real estate or a matter relating to your home. You can only push so much.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Be aware of your limits. By honoring boundaries, everyone will get along much better.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH You have a tendency to go overboard. Hold back, as you might not be interested in what comes down your path in the long run. What is behind your sudden desire to go wild? You might gain more self-control when you find that answer. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You beam and draw many people toward you. When you see your options more clearly, the way you handle a personal matter could change radically. A person who seems to bring you luck will suddenly appear. Be happy for the ease at present. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You could feel off-kilter right now. Assume a low profile — at least for a little while. Observe what is happening on the home front. You might wish for a change of pace and/or a more peaceful atmosphere. Just go with the moment. Tonight: Nap, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities. Someone you interact with could find you to be very touchy or difficult to deal with. This person lets you know what he or she feels in no uncertain terms. Do you really want a fight? Let go of the issue. Tonight: Try to make it an early night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A boss could anger you. You might not feel free to really express what you are thinking. Follow your intuition, and give the situation some time. Get feedback from a trusted friend or an adviser. Timing can make all the difference. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

Why this mother believes in unconventional holidays Jodi Hobbs Mother and home educator to two special needs students Happy Easter Sunday! Easter is a wonderful holiday regardless of whether you celebrate it for religious or simply traditional reasons. It conjures up visions of mountains of colored eggs and baskets stuffed with chocolate, marshmallow bunnies, chicks and all sorts of treats. However, we do things a little differently at our house and with good reason. To start with, my children will receive their goodies in laundry baskets. Why? Because their stuff never fits into those little tiny baskets they sell at the store anyway, and this method ensures I get new laundry baskets every year. Candy? NO. Not at my house. We battle cavities every year due in part to the fact that my children spend so much of the winter sick with strep, viruses, and other health issues that they are constantly sipping on Gatorade. That’s great for their bodies, but horrible for their teeth. The LA Times reports that 50 percent of children will have tooth decay by the age of 5. In addition, they report that oral infection is the number one chronic disease in children. Dinner. Well, currently I have two special needs children and an estranged husband who seemed unable to decide what to do about organizing plans for the children. My Asperger/ADHD/Asthma/ PANDAS Syndrome/Bipolar son was begging for a family dinner despite the fact we’re all in the whirlpool of a divorce. Four days before Easter Sunday, I found myself with unhappy children and no plans. So I made some executive decisions. Easter dinner is at 1 p.m. on Sunday. I informed everyone they would be partici- pating and then called my father-in-law, as well. I’ve been branded bossy, a helicopter parent and a lot of names the paper can’t print – but I get things done. At the end of the day, often that’s the most important thing for your child. So what are we doing? We will color eggs using dyes, shrink wraps, stickers and more. Then we’ll toss them. Because that dye can penetrate the egg shell and make my children sick. Our egg hunt will be indoors or outdoors depending on the weather with plastic eggs filled with coins to be put in their piggy banks for college. Where I really veer from the norm is their baskets. In my house, it’s a requirement that all Easter baskets contain books. I’m a firm believer that every holiday should include books for your child to read. We must promote reading and literacy with our children from the youngest age if we are going to raise an educated nation of inventors, artists and, more importantly, individuals who can think and reason for themselves. I include a mix of titles. I make sure there a few of the classics on their school reading list, a few novels from series, topics or authors they particularly favor and then I throw in a few wild cards — books that catch my eye, but I have no idea whether my child will like them. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they trade books. As long as they are reading, I’m happy! I love all those fluffy, Easter-themed stuffed animals, plastic cups and straws, yard signs and more at the store. But I’m working on an almost non-existent budget, and I want gifts that will inspire, educate or teach my children more about the world, themselves or their potential. I gave one gift early this year. My daugh- ter recently had her ears pierced. I can’t explain the love I felt as I put the gold bunny earrings I had worn as a child in my only daughter’s ears. This year my Asperger son who spends countless hours building, programming and reading engineering books will have a soldering iron and kit, a circuit board kit and a computer programming book. My Bipolar/ADD/ Aspergers/LHON/Anxiety daughter’s laundry basket will have a few crafts and an advanced dissection kit complete with nine preserved specimens and tool kit with scalpels, tweezers, and pins. She has attended the COSI Human Body exhibit, their Cow Eye dissection workshop and their Earthworm dissection workshop. Do I realize that many would be appalled by those gifts? Yes. Have I learned to realize that society’s opinion is less important than encouraging my children’s interest in STEM (Science, Math, Engineering and Technology)? Absolutely! Special Needs and autistic children have so many challenges facing them in life. Making a living and being able to provide for themselves, for high-functioning children, is of great importance. Current job projections already show that the U.S. will have more STEM jobs than we will have people educated and trained to fill those jobs. It may very well be the deciding factor for a high-functioning special needs job applicant who struggles with interview skills but has excellent educational and job skill qualifications that they get a job they might otherwise not be chosen for.

Megan Michaylee Bias of Vinton celebrated her seventh birthday on January 8, 2013, but celebrated with a party on January 12, 2013. She enjoyed her Hello Kitty-themed party with several friends and family members. Guests enjoyed homemade “pink” macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, goldfish crackers, chips, tuna, ham and chicken salad sandwiches. To complete the meal, the group devoured the tasty, beautifully crafted Hello Kitty cake, along with some delicious pink and blue iced cupcakes. The kids enjoyed several Kittyinspired games that lasted well into the evening. Those in attendance were Megan’s mommy and daddy, Brian and Angela Henry-Bias; nana, Lois Tipton-Henry; papaw and mamaw, Danny and Martha Shuler-Bias; cousin, Keerstin “KeeKee” Shaver; uncle, Mike Tipton; cousins, Heather and Cash Hunt; friends, Liz and Robbie Keeton; friends, Matt, Becky and Shyann Holcomb; friend, Becky Shaw and mom; friend, Michael and mom; friends, Suzy Arthur and Braylee and Hayley; Codi East and Gavin, Hunter, Kynnli, Jade and Lexie; friend, Nancy Cherrington; friends, Samantha Brooks Megan Mickaylee Bias and Jada and Rayhanna; friends, Josh, Grace, Abbie and A.J.

Greens announce birth POMEROY — Stephanie and Jonathan Green of Pomeroy, announce the birth of a daughter on Feb. 13. She has been named Kiley Rose Green. NBC’s Wolfe, Gosk, expecting baby in August LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Today” weekend anchor Jenna Wolfe says she and NBC news correspondent Stephanie Gosk are expecting a baby girl in August. A smiling, joking Wolfe made her announcement on NBC’s morning show Wednesday, saying, “I’m quite pregnant, actually.” The baby is due in mid-August, the 39-year-old Wolfe said. “You kept a secret pretty good,” ”Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie told Wolfe. In a blog posted on the “Today” website, Wolfe said she and Gosk, 40, were two years into their relationship when they realized they wanted to “share our adventures with a wide-eyed little person.” In a People magazine story out Friday, Wolfe discussed why the couple decided to share news of their pregnancy and relationship. As Wolfe put it: “I don’t want to bring my daughter into a world where I’m not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is.” Other TV journalists who have come out as gay include Anderson Cooper of CNN, Sam Champion of ABC and CNN’s Don Lemon. Gay marriage equality box spreads on social media NEW YORK (AP) — Bud Light said it with beer cans and Martha Stewart with red velvet cake as companies and celebrities from Beyonce to George Takei joined millions of social media users in posting and tweaking a simple red logo in support of gay marriage. A square box with thick pink horizontal lines (the mathematical equal symbol) was offered for sharing this week by the Human Rights Campaign as the U.S. Supreme Court took up arguments in key marriage rights cases. The image, replacing profile pictures on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and elsewhere, is a makeover of the advocacy group’s logo, usually a blue background with bright yellow lines. The HRC made it available in red — for the color of love — on Monday and estimated tens of millions of shares by Wednesday. “It shows the enthusiasm and the passion,” said Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Like viral campaigns of yore, supporting breast cancer awareness (pink), President Barack Obama (change your middle name to Hussein) and even Arab Spring (green), a bit of Photo by Jodi Hobbs fatigue set in on some Aurora Saunders’ Easter basket will have a few crafts and an advanced dissection kit complete social media streams by with nine preserved specimens and tool kit with scalpels, tweezers and pins. She has attended those questioning wheththe COSI Human Body exhibit, as well as their Cow Eye and Earthworm dissection workshop. er such efforts serve to change any minds or, put simply, are plain annoying. “My Facebook feed is a cascading aesthetic nightmare. Thanks, equality,” Washington Post writer Dan Zak wryly grumbled on Twitter. A photo of Justice Anthony Kennedy made the rounds with the quip: “Before we make a ruling, did enough people change their Facebook profile picture?!” None of that mattered to the masses of samesex marriage supporters. Some swapped matzoh for the pink lines as Passover got under way, or added frowny Internet star Grumpy Cat, who explained marriage equality would make her happy. Bert and Ernie showed up against the red background. (They’re best friends with no plans to marry, according to Sesame Street.) Another version featured Paula Deen atop the red square and lines turned a shade of yellow akin to her favorite fatty ingredient and the tagline: “It’s like two sticks of butter y’all.” Takei, a noted punster with nearly 4 million followers in Facebook, turned the equal sign into the division sign for those opposed to marriage equality. Beyonce, with more than 44 million followers there, played it straight, leaving the logo alone and adding a personal message: “It’s about TIME!!! (hash)EQUALITY (hash)MarryWhoYouLove. Fergie let the image speak for itself on Twitter, adding: “No words necessary.” Montana Sen. John Tester, a Democrat who endorsed same-sex marriage on Tuesday, put the logo up as his profile on Facebook while the clothing site Bonobos swapped its usual Facebook pic for the red square using fancy white pants for the equal sign. Martha Stewart’s Facebook page used a slice of red cake with white icing to make the image and the HBO page for “True Blood” added fangs. All in good fun? “There’s a lot of serious conversation going on and there’s an awful lot of important concepts that the Supreme Court justices are discussing,” Sainz said. “What this logo going viral means is individuals have reduced it to a very straightforward concept.” Steve Jones, a professor of online culture and communications at the University of Illinois at Chicago, wondered whether all the mash-ups muddle the message. “Once you throw it together with something like Grumpy Cat it’s fun,” he said. “But was this message intended to be fun?” � https://history.meigslibrary.org/files/original/01351f4a92fdd8ee00427fcee99d7a5c.pdf 98b07d65976d7be8be60f97fd6a7ebad PDF Text Text 2013 Spring Sports A supplement to �Friday, March 29, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Alex Hawle | Daily Sentinel Pictured above are members of the 2013 Eastern baseball team.
