POMEROY — High achievers in all three school
districts of Meigs County were recognized and honored at the Academic Awards banquet held Thursday
night at Meigs High School.
“Education: Your Passport to Success” was the
theme of the banquet which is held annually to honor

GALLIPOLIS — Later this month, the Gallia County
Common Pleas Court will consider judicial release in a case
against a Gallia County woman who is currently serving a
four year and 11 month prison term for burglary and attempted burglary — a motion for judicial release that has
been recommended by the prosecution.
Amber L. Coughenour, nka Amber L. Dennis, 32, Gallipolis, will appear before Judge Michael W. Ward, judge
by assignment, in the common pleas courtroom on Friday,
May 24 for a judicial release hearing.
Dennis was sentenced on June 9, 2011, to three years of
incarceration for burglary in a 2010 case and one year and
11 months of imprisonment for two counts of attempted
burglary in a 2007 case in which she had previously been
sentenced to two years of probation.
A memorandum in support of a motion for judicial release filed by Dennis’ defense attorney Jeffery L. Finley on
April 12 states, “[the defendant] has extensive family ties
in this area and will have a strong support system in place.
She intends to renew her pursuit of her college education.
She fully intends to seek gainful employment upon her release and to become a productive member of society.”
A response to the defendant’s motion for judicial release
subsequently filed by Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney
Jeff Adkins on April 25 states, “Through plea negotiations
the State of Ohio agreed to recommend Defendant’s motion for judicial release after the Defendant has served two
(2) years incarceration. Defendant was given credit for jail
time served in the amount of 22 days. The defendant has
served approximately 2 years of her sentence. Therefore,
the State recommends defendant’s motion for Judicial Release.”
Dennis was indicted one count of burglary in her most
recent case following a burglary that occurred on September 27, 2010, at a residence in Gallia County.
Johnny R. Coughenour, 32, Gallipolis, and Bryan K. Riffle, 29, Gallipolis, were also charged in connection with this
case in which the culprits were captured on surveillance
video burglarizing the residence and stealing thousands of
dollars worth of property from the victim.
Both Coughenour and Riffle were sentenced to four
years in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and CorSee RELEASE ‌| A2

RIO GRANDE — The clouds
broke, rain ceased and sunshine
blessed the 407 graduates of
the 137th Commencement of
the University of Rio Grande/
Rio Grande Community College on Saturday.
One by one — Valerie
Cangemi, Masters of Business
Administration, to Nathan
Young, Associate’s of Power

Plant Mechanical Maintenance
and Welding — the graduates
crossed the stage gracing the
lawn in front of Allen Hall on
the Rio Grande campus to receive their personal congratulation from President Dr. Barbara
Gellman-Danley. In total, 439
associate’s degrees, bachelor’s
degrees and masters degrees
were conferred, with 329 recipients in attendance.
Festivities began at noon
with Concert on the Green,
compliment of the Symphonic
Band and Grande Chorale.

Friends and family of the graduates gathered to celebrate the
accomplishments and savor the
memories.
Among the many highlights
was the traditional closing performance of the alma mater,
The Red and White, led by the
Grande Chorale and accompanied by the Class of 2013.
“It’s really bad singing,” Professor and Commencement
Grand Marshal Dr. Raymond
C. Matura chuckled. “A lot of
people don’t really know all the
words, but it’s a tradition that is

somewhat unique. It’s been going on for well over 100 years.”
Saturday also featured a
couple firsts for Rio Grande.
Bradley Altier, Sheri Marcum,
Andrea Merry and Whitney
Smith became the first Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry
recipients, while Amanda Fretus, Michael Gilliland, Brittany
Haislop and Brandi Pinkstock
became the first graduates produced by the McArthur Center
in Vinton County.

rection for their role in
the 2010 burglary. Riffle
was also sentenced to four
years of imprisonment for
a second unrelated count
of burglary, however, this
sentence was ordered to be
served concurrently for a
total of four years.
According to the Ohio
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s
website, Coughenour is
scheduled to be released on
September 22, 2014, while
Riffle’s release date is listed
as October 24, 2014.
Additionally, as a condition of their sentences,
Coughenour, Riffle and
Dennis were each ordered
to pay restitution in the
amount of $4,263.59 to the
victim of the September 27,
2010, burglary.

Prior to this most recent
prison sentence, Dennis
had been sentenced to 36
months of imprisonment
in September 2007 for
two counts of attempted
burglary and one count of
receiving stolen property.
Judicial release in this case
was subsequently granted
after the defendant had
served approximately two
years of her sentence.
Following her release,
Dennis was placed on
community control — probation that was violated
through her involvement in
the 2010 burglary.
As a result of this, an
additional one year and
11 month sentence was
ordered to served along
with her three year sentence for burglary during
her final appearance in

court on June 2011.
In a journal entry filed on
May 7, Gallia County Common Pleas Court Judge D.
Dean Evans voluntarily recuses himself from this case
due to a potential conflict.
Retired Athens County
Common Pleas Judge Michael W. Ward was subsequently assigned to preside
over all proceedings held in
Dennis’ case.
A judicial release hearing
has been scheduled for Friday, May 24 in the common
pleas courtroom.
The Sheriff of Gallia
County was further ordered
to convey the defendant
from the Ohio Reformatory for Women to Gallia
County so that she may be
present for the hearing.

WASHINGTON,
DC
— Last year, the Ohio
Medicaid program spent
more than $918 million on
prescription medicines.
While most prescription pain medicines are
used as prescribed, some
criminals and addicts are
defrauding the Medicaid
system by attempting to
acquire multiple prescriptions and filling them
at multiple pharmacies
— undermining taxpayers and efforts to combat
prescription drug abuse.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
(D-OH) announced a
plan today to combat
prescription drug abuse
and diversion by targeting doctor-shopping and
pharmacy-hopping.
“We can save taxpayer
dollars — and countless
lives — by stopping criminals and addicts from illegally using Medicaid
cards to fill false prescriptions for addictive drugs,”
Brown said. “As the death
toll from prescription
drug overdoses has tripled
in our state, we increasingly see the need for a national, coordinated effort
to combat this epidemic.
That’s why I’m working
to establish a Medicaid
lock-in program to help
stop those enrollees who
have been misusing their

Medicaid cards from continuing this costly and
dangerous practice. Ohio
taxpayers will not finance
criminal activity or feed
drug addiction.”
Brown announced plans
to reintroduce the Stop
Trafficking of Pills (STOP)
Act today, legislation that
would crack down on the
fraudulent use of Medicaid cards to obtain and fill
prescriptions for addictive
pain medications. The bill
would create a “Medicaid
lock-in program” — which
would limit the number of
doctors and pharmacies
visited by convicted prescription drug abusers or
high-risk prescription drug
users — and prevent the
abuse, diversion, or re-sale
of prescription drugs.
A General Accounting
Office report outlined how
Medicaid fraud is contributing to the prescription
drug epidemic. In the report, the GAO found:
About 65,000 cases in
which Medicaid beneficiaries visited six or more
doctors and up to 46 different pharmacies to acquire
prescriptions — a practice
known as “doctor-shopping” that allows purchasers to exceed the legal limit
of drugs.
Sixty-five doctors or
pharmacists writing or fill-

graphs or sketches of areas
they would like to landscape with native plants
and he will assist them in
creating a design and selecting the plants.
For those who have questions or want additional
information prior to the
open house, he said they
may contact him at porterbrooknative@yahoo.com
or at 740-247-4565.
Those interested in
purchasing his book, ”

ing prescriptions after being banned from Medicaid,
some for illegally selling
such drugs.
About 1,800 prescriptions written for dead patients and 1,200 prescriptions “written” by dead
physicians.
Following
the
call,
Brown released a map of
sites available throughout the state where Ohioans can safely dispose of
unwanted
prescription
drugs. Last month, during National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day,
Ohioans safely disposed of
more than 16 tons – more
than 32,300 pounds – of
unused prescription drugs,
up from 13 tons last year,

according to the Attorney
General’s office.
Prescription drug abuse
is an epidemic in Ohio.
Prescription pain medications, such as oxycodone,
morphine, and methadone,
are largely responsible
for increasing numbers of
overdoses and deaths in
Ohio. Medicaid lock-in programs can be effective by
limiting the doctors from
which a high-risk patient
can receive prescriptions,
as well as the pharmacies
from which the patient
can obtain medicines. This
enables the kind of close
monitoring needed to
prevent high-risk patients
from personally abusing
or selling opioids.

Homebuilders can’t find
enough qualified workers
Alex Veiga

AP Real Estate Writer

U.S. builders and the subcontractors
they depend on are struggling to hire fast
enough to meet rising demand for new
homes.
Builders would be starting work on
more homes — and contributing more to
the economy — if they could fill more job
openings.
In the meantime, workers in the right
locations with the right skills are commanding higher pay.
Consider Richard Vap, who owns a drywall installation company. The resurgent
housing market has sent builders calling
again. Vap would love to help — if he
could hire enough qualified people.
“There is a shortage of manpower,” says
Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall in Littleton, Colo. “We’re probably only hiring
about 75 or 80 percent of what we actually
need.”
The shortage of labor ranges across occupations — from construction superintendents and purchasing agents to painters, cabinet makers and drywall installers.
The National Association of Home Builders says its members have complained of
too few framers, roofers, plumbers and
carpenters. The shortage is most acute in
areas where demand for new homes has
recovered fastest, notably in Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado and Florida.
The problem results largely from an
exodus of workers from the industry after
the housing bubble burst. Experienced
construction workers lost jobs. And many
found new work — in commercial building
or in booming and sometimes higher-paying industries like mining and natural gas
drilling — and aren’t eager to come back.
Hispanic immigrants, largely from Mexico, who had filled jobs during the boom
were among those who left the industry
and, in some cases, the United States.
Dave Erickson, president of Greyhawk
Homes in Columbus, Ga., lost an employee who took a job this year in Texas. The
former employee is now installing fiberoptic cable and earning 30 percent more
than he did as a construction supervisor.
“I think he’s frustrated with the cycle we
went through in recent years,” Erickson
says.
A shortage of labor in a well-paying
industry might seem incongruous in an
economy stuck with a still-high 7.5 percent unemployment rate. But it reflects
just how many former skilled construction
workers have moved on to other fields.
In 2006, when the boom peaked, 3.4
million people worked in homebuilding.
By 2011, the figure had bottomed at about
2 million. As of last month, about 2.1 million people were employed in residential
construction.
Jobs in the industry did rise 4.1 percent
in April from a year earlier, faster than
overall U.S. job growth. But they’d have
to surge 24 percent more to reach 2.6 mil-

lion, their 2002 level — “the last time the
market was normal,” says David Crowe,
chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.
For now, the industry is building faster
than it’s hiring. In February, builders began work on single-family homes at the
fastest pace in five years. And in March,
new home construction broke the 1 million mark for the first time since June
2008. Permits for future construction are
also near a five-year high.
In the 12 months that ended in March,
housing starts surged 47 percent. Yet over
the same period, the industry’s employment grew just 3.7 percent.
Normally, a rebound in home construction helps propel an economy after a recession. But even with the steady gains in
housing starts, sales and prices since last
year, the industry remains below levels
considered healthy.
The National Association of Home
Builders says nearly half its members who
responded to a survey in March said a
scarcity of labor has led to delays in completing work. Fifteen percent have had to
turn down some projects.
“I can’t find qualified people to fill the
positions that I have open,” says Vishaal
Gupta, president of Park Square Homes in
Orlando, Fla. If not for the labor shortage,
“I would be able to build more homes this
year and meet more demand than I can
handle today.”
Gupta’s company is facing a side effect
of the labor shortage: Demand for higher
pay from qualified workers. On some occasions, he says he’s been outbid by rivals
that need contractors for their own projects. Gupta’s preferred paint contractor
left for a rival that paid more. His new cabinet contractor is about 10 percent more
expensive than the one Gupta used before.
The higher pay they’re handing out
helps explain why builders have been
gradually raising prices on new homes.
The median price was $247,000 in March,
up about 12 percent from the same month
in 2011, the Commerce Department says.
The industry may have to look more
aggressively for workers at vocational
schools, federally funded programs like
Job Corps and elsewhere, says Crowe of
the homebuilders group.
“We’ll have to recruit more,” he says.
Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall,
rode out the downturn after the housing
crash in part by relying on commercial
construction projects. He cut his residential construction staff from 244 in 2006 to
80 in 2009.
This year, Vap has hired 15 field employees for residential construction and says
he needs to hire 35 more to do the work
he foresees in 2013.
During the 2005-2006 housing boom
years, Gupta had to bring in workers from Texas because there weren’t
enough employees in Florida to keep up
with construction. He doubts many of
those veterans will return.

Hope can be painful for families of missing kids
Jesse Washington
AP National Writer

CLEVELAND — The
miraculous rescue of three
missing women has given
hope to many families
whose loved ones have
vanished. Yet hope, when
searching for a long-lost
child, can be a dangerous
thing.
Thousands of children
are missing across the
country. The longer they
are gone, the smaller the
chance they will be found
alive. So when three women
who had been missing for a
decade or more emerged
from the house where they
had been held captive, it
provided an extraordinarily
rare happy ending.
“I would definitely say it
was a miracle,” said Kelly
Murphy, who founded Project Jason, after her own son
vanished, to help other such
families.
Murphy had worked with
two of the Cleveland families while their daughters
were missing. After they
were found, she heard from
many others who are still
searching.
“The general response is
that it gives us all hope,”
Murphy said. “I’m in the
situation, too, with my son
almost missing for 12 years
without a trace and without
clues. It definitely gives us
hope that there is a chance.
If it happened to those girls,
it can happen to us.”
“To have hope helps you
get through each day, hope
that there’s a good answer
instead of the answer that
nobody wants. It just helps
you keep going, because it’s
very difficult to have to live
with ambiguous loss.”
But how much does it
help to hope for a miracle,
which by definition is almost impossible?
Some, like Murphy, need
to keep that spark alive,
however small. Others, like
Jody Himebaugh, need to
protect their emotions.
Himebaugh knows about
what happened in Cleveland but has avoided the
details. His son Mark disappeared in 1991 at age 11.
“Every time I watch this
kind of stuff, it rekindles the
last 23 years,” he said. “All
it does, it just gives us hope
again.”
For Himebaugh, hope
hurts. Whether hope is
more painful than saying

a permanent goodbye —
that’s impossible to figure.
“For the past 23 years,
I’ve been happy for the
families over that time who
have recovered their kids,
dead or alive,” he said. “At
least they’ve got closure.
My biggest fear is I’m going to go to my grave and
never know what happened
to Mark, and why.”
The flip side of that fear
is hope — and the loved
ones of the missing hold
tight to every glimmer.
Advocates and others often speak of persistence, of
keeping missing children’s
images in the public eye,
of always working to make
sure the public stays alert
for the one tiny detail that
could end a family’s agony.
“What an amazing time
to be talking about hope,
with everything that’s happening,” Jaycee Dugard,
who was missing for more
than 18 years before being
rescued, said this week at
an awards ceremony where
she urged the audience not
to give up on missing children.
In Cleveland, several religious leaders spoke on that
theme Wednesday. Catholic
Bishop Richard Lennon
posted a video message
urging viewers to pray that
missing people “may have
the strength of the virtue
of hope and that their families also may never give up
hope.”
After a prayer gathering on the block where the
women were found, the
Rev. Larry Harris of Mount
Olive Missionary Baptist
Church said, “There’s a
hope that many, many more
will be coming back home.”
On the block where the
three women were found,
Tonia Adkins was wearing
a T-shirt printed with the
face of her missing sister,
Christina Adkins. Cristina
vanished in 1995 at age 17,
four blocks from the house
where the women were
held captive.
The arrests of three
brothers has given the Adkins family hope for Christina, but has also stoked the
dread that has been part of
their lives for 18 years.
“I do believe that they’re
gonna break open some
cases,” Tonia Adkins said.
“I’m scared that I’m gonna
get the news that my sister’s not alive.”

The space between hope
and resignation is a difficult
place.
“It’s an absolutely terrible
predicament to be in. I can’t
imagine what families go
through wondering — just
the lack of knowing,” said
Bob Hoever, director of
special programs with the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
He recommends hope
and sees this as the powerful lesson of the Cleveland
case.
“I believe this is a tremendous boost to families
giving them hope, that we
should never give up looking for their children,” Hoever said. “The National
Center never stops looking
for a missing child. As long
as they’re missing, we will
continue looking.”
But Sherry Hamby, a
psychology professor at Sewanee: The University of
the South who studies the
victimization of children,
said some families can
become frozen in time at
the point their child disappeared.
“At some point, after so
many years have gone by,
there’s a lot to be said for
closure,” Hamby said. “It’s
just not a natural state of
being for humans to be frozen in this time, waiting.
We can’t stay in that kind of
limbo forever.”
The most difficult decisions, Hamby said, can involve what seem like mundane details.
“Are you going to pack
up that child’s things? Are
you going to convert that
room to another use?” she
said. “I think the need for
psychological closure just
is necessary because of the
concrete limitations that we
are facing. It’s just hard to
go through life trying to not
make any changes.”
Murphy, of Project Jason, knows families who
have chosen to believe
their missing child is dead,
and she does not begrudge
them that choice.
But Murphy holds onto
hope, “because it keeps us
focused on the future.”
“It’s just unfortunate that
in our case,” she said, “we
don’t know what the future
holds.”

The
Commencement
speaker was State Rep.
Ryan Smith, of Bidwell,
who has passionately supported education and Rio
Grande since taking office.
While Smith praised the
graduates for their accomplishment and Rio Grande
for its commitment to
education and economic
development throughout
southeastern Ohio, he also
challenged the Class of
2013.
“This institution has prepared you to be successful
… (but) make no mistake,
you will fail at something
in your life,” Smith said.
“Your experiences in life
shape who you are as a
person. It is through failure
where we find our most
valuable lessons.
“When an opportunity
presents itself, take advantage of it. For opportunity
is not a lengthy visitor.”
Smith and University
of Rio Grande Board of
Trustees Chairman Gerald
E. Roach, Jr. each received
honorary Doctorates of
Public Service for their
unwavering dedication and
support of Rio Grande.

Blue Devils sweep Jackson in SEOAL finale, 17-7

CENTENARY, Ohio — A Senior Night to remember.
Gallia Academy baseball
capped its historical three-year
reign over the Southeastern
Ohio Athletic League in style
Thursday night following a 17-7
victory over visiting Jackson in
the league finale for both squads
at Bob Eastman Ball Field in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils (22-3, 9-1
SEOAL) matched the school

record for wins in a season, set
just one year ago when GAHS
advanced to the Division II district championship game against
Miami Trace. The hosts also
claimed a season sweep of the
Ironmen after posting a 5-1 triumph at JHS back on April 10.
Gallia Academy — which captured the program’s first-ever
three-peat in SEOAL history this
spring — outhit the Ironmen by
an 11-9 overall margin and committed just one of the three errors in the contest. GAHS left 11
runners on base, while the guests

stranded nine on the bags.
Jackson (6-4 SEOAL) led 2-0
after an inning and a half of play,
but the Blue Devils responded
by sending a dozen batters to the
plate in the bottom of the second
— which resulted in seven runs
on four hits and four walks for a
7-2 GAHS advantage after two
complete.
The Ironmen answered with
three runs in the top of the third
to close to within 7-5, then both
teams traded two runs apiece
for a 9-7 Gallia Academy lead
through four full frames. The

Blue Devils went on to score the
last eight runs of the contest —
including a five-run sixth — to
wrap up the mercy-rule decision.
Jimmy Clagg was the winning
pitcher of record after allowing
seven runs (five earned), nine
hits and one walk over five innings while striking out seven.
Justin Bailey also worked an inning of relief for GAHS, striking
out two and walking two.
Stanley took the loss for
JHS after surrendering seven
earned runs, three hits and
four walks over 1.1 frames.

LeMaster, Leach and Massie
combined to work the final 4.1
frames of relief.
Bobby Dunlap led the hosts
with three hits, followed by
Clagg and Cody Russell with
two safeties apiece. Bailey, Gage
Childers, Gustin Graham and
John Faro also had a hit each for
the victors.
Clagg drove in a team-high
four RBIs, while Russell and
Dunlap each added three RBIs.

WINFIELD, W.Va. — In another evenly-played game
with Winfield, a pair of Point Pleasant errors ultimately
made the difference again.
The Big Blacks handed host Winfield an unearned run
in the first, then both teams played even the rest of the
way Thursday night during a 3-2 Winfield victory in a
Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 championship game at the
Leon McCoy Athletic Facility in Putnam County.
Point Pleasant (18-14) — which surrendered two errors
and two unearned runs Wednesday night in a series-opening 2-0 loss — committed both of Thursday’s miscues in
the bottom of the first, which allowed the Generals (1416) to claim an early 1-0 advantage.
Josh Bumgarner reached safely on a two-out error, stole
second and later scored on an error that allowed Bryan
Bosley to reach safely, giving the hosts a one-run lead after one complete.
PPHS countered with a pair of runs in the top of the
second to claim a 2-1 edge, its only lead in the best-ofthree series. Jacob Gardner walked and Levi Russell
reached on a fielder’s choice, then both came home on a
single by Gage Buskirk for a one-run lead.
Winfield countered with a run in its half of the second
after Tanner Bailey led off the frame with a single and
later scored on an RBI groundout by Jonah Sneeringer,
tying the game at two through two complete.
The Generals plated the game-clinching run in the
bottom of the fourth after Sneeringer singled and later
scored on a two-out single by Jordan Clark — making it a
3-2 game through four full frames.
Point Pleasant — which was outhit 7-3 overall in the
contest — left a runner stranded in the fifth and left two
more on the bags in the sixth before going down in order
in the seventh. Both teams committed two errors in the
contest, with PPHS leaving seven on base while the hosts
stranded nine.
Brett Adkins was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two earned runs, two hits and four walks over four
innings while striking out two. Casey Frye picked up the
save after allowing one hit and one walk over three frames
while fanning one.
Evan Potter took the loss after surrendering two earned
runs, seven hits and two walks over six frames while fanning six. Buskirk led the Big Blacks with two hits and two
RBIs, while Trevor Porter added the other safety in the
setback.
Clark and Bailey paced WHS with two hits apiece, followed by Bumgarner, Bosley and Sneeringer with a safety
each.
It was the final game for PPHS seniors Tylun Campbell,
Nathan Chapman, Jacob Gardner, Steven Porter and Kodi
Stranahan in the Red, White and Black. Point Pleasant
ended the 2013 campaign with a four-game losing skid.

CENTENARY, Ohio — It’s going to be pretty tough
to top this one.
The Gallia Academy tennis team wrapped up an unprecedented unbeaten regular season in style Thursday night after defeating visiting Chillicothe 3-2 to
win the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championship outright on Senior Night in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils completed the 2013 campaign with

Whalen earned a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Joseph Sebastian.
Tjaye McCalla and Riley Nibert dropped a 6-1, 2-6,
4-6 outcome to Piekarski and Preston in first doubles,
but the GAHS duo of Varun Sharma and Zach Stewart
clinched the league title outright with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Gilliland and Hirsch in second doubles.
Gallia Academy — which posted a 3-2 win at Chillicothe back on April 17 — went 7-0 at home this spring
and won all 10 of its road matches, including the 2013
Circleville Tiger Invitational.
GAHS completed its road schedule Wednesday

also defeated MHS by a 3-2 count back on April 11
in Centenary.

St. Albans shuts downs
Lady Knights, 6-0
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Everything was going smoothly for the Point
Pleasant softball team through five innings of play Thursday night. Then, the
Lady Knights ran into a few bumps the
rest of the way and ultimately lost their
wheels.
Visiting St. Albans — which had one
hit through five frames — plated three
runs apiece in the sixth and seventh innings to secure a 6-0 victory over the
Lady Knights in a Class AAA Region 4
semifinal in Mason County.
The Lady Red Dragons (28-4) outhit
PPHS by a small 7-6 overall margin, but
the guests played an error-free contest
and left only three runners stranded on
base. Point Pleasant (17-8), conversely,
stranded seven on the bags and committed the only error of the contest.
Both teams went hitless through the
first three innings of play, but Mariah
Caudill doubled in the top of the fourth
to produce the first safety of the game
before being stranded at third.
Megan Davis produced the Lady
Knights’ first hit to lead off the fourth,
but was later doubled-up on a pop-up by
Kaitlin Liptrap. Bekah Darst followed
with a single and advanced to third on
a double by Karissa Cochran, but both
runners were left stranded after Madi
Marshall made a diving grab on a bullet
hit by Makinley Higginbotham to end
the inning.
Madi Chandler singled to lead off
the sixth, then Marshall singled with

one out to put runners on the corners.
Caudill doubled in Chandler for a 1-0
advantage, then Marshall scored on a
bunt single by Alyssa Bonham to again
put runners on the corners.
Bonham attempted to steal second
base, and the throw was cut off before
being relayed again to second before
eventually ending up in centerfield. The
PPHS error allowed Caudill to score
and making it a 3-0 St. Albans lead.
Ali Haynes added a three-run homer
to right in the top of the seventh, giving the Lady Red Dragons a sizable 6-0
cushion headed into the finale.
Liptrap singled and Darst walked
in the home half of the sixth, but both
were left stranded at first and second
with only one out in the inning. Josie
Fisher walked and Sarah Hussell doubled with two outs in the seventh, but
neither managed to make it plateward.
Haynes was the winning pitcher of
record after allowing six hits and two
walks over seven innings while striking
out two. Madison Barker — who had a
single in the fifth — took the loss for
PPHS after surrendering five earned
runs, seven hits and two walks over
seven frames while fanning four.
Davis, Liptrap, Darst, Cochran,
Barker and Hussell each had a hit for
the Lady Knights. Caudill and Chandler paced SAHS with two hits each.
Haynes drove in three runs and Chandler scored twice for the victors.
It was the final softball game for
PPHS seniors Kaci Riffle, Josie Fisher,
Sarah Hussell, Megan Davis and Kaitlin
Liptrap in the Red, White and Black.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Tyler Eifert lined
up here, there and just about everywhere
during his first practice with the Cincinnati
Bengals. Felt like old times.
The Bengals got started on their new tight
end-heavy passing game Friday at the start
of a weekend rookie minicamp. A lot of the
focus was on Eifert, chosen in the first round
to give quarterback Andy Dalton another target.
Eifert lined up in a lot of different spots at
Notre Dame. Judging by the first day of prac-

tice in Cincinnati, he’s going to be doing the
same thing in the NFL.
“A lot of the things I’m learning are a lot of
the same plays we had in with two tight ends
— move me around in different positions,”
Eifert said. “Today I was out in the slot quite
a bit. I think I’m picking it up pretty fast.”
With Dalton watching from the sideline,
Eifert made a nice one-hand catch during the
morning workout, a preview of what he can
bring to an offense that’s been overly dependent upon receiver A.J. Green.

Wahama HOF Meeting

MASON, W.Va. — The Wahama High
School Athletic Hall of Fame Board of
Trustees will be conducting a meeting at
the Riverside Golf Club at 6 p.m. Tuesday,
May 13.
The main topics on the agenda will be
the business completion of the recently
concluded fundraising golf tournament
and the approaching Wahama Hall of
Fame Athletic Scholarship to be awarded
to a WHS senior athlete later this month.
All HOF Board of Trustee members are
urged to attend this meeting as well as
anyone wishing to participate in the Bend

Meigs Youth Football Camp

Bengals get started on two tight-end offense

hunting license or permit
between 10 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, and 8 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 8.
The system outage
may end before 8 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 8, if the
scheduled maintenance is
completed sooner than expected.
With winter holding on
and the sudden onset of
spring, there has been a
great increase in the number of farmers out there
on the roads hauling their
equipment from farm to
farm. These trucks and
tractors hauling plows,
planters, mowers, lime and
fertilizer spreaders and
other pieces of equipment
are usually wide, heavy, big
and slow, meaning you can
be on them in an instant, so
motorists need to be aware
and on the lookout for farm
equipment on the roads.
Also, motorists should
be on the alert for motorcyclists, bicyclists, youngsters and others out there
on the roads enjoying these
beautiful spring days. Bicyclists and pedestrians have
the same rights to use the
roads as motorists. After
all, the life you save might
be mine.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The 2013
Meigs Youth Football Camp will be held
on Saturday, June 1, at Holzer Field,
Farmers Bank Stadium on the campus
of Meigs High School. The school is
located at 42091 County Road 25 in
Pomeroy. Registration for the camp will
begin at 8 a.m., and the camp will run
from 9 a.m. until noon.

The camp is open to any child who will
be in grades 1-8 this fall, and will focus
on attitude, effort, hard work, teamwork,
fundamentals, technique, individual drills
and group drills.
Instruction will be provided by current Meigs Marauders players and coaching staff, including Meigs coach Mike
Bartrum and longtime National Football
League veteran. Also scheduled to attend
is Marshall and New England Patriot Hall
of Famer Troy Brown — a three-time SuperBowl champion. Other various college
football coaches and players will also be
adding instruction.
There is a cost for the camp. If you preregister by May 18, children are guaranteed a camp T-shirt. Registration accepted
after the deadline, including the day of the
camp, will not be guaranteed a camp Tshirt.

Bryan Walters | Point Pleasant Register

Point Pleasant senior Sarah Hussell belts out a double during the seventh inning of
Thursday night’s AAA Region 4 softball semifinal against St. Albans.

The Free Family Outdoor Day, sponsored by
the Meigs ACTT (Active
Conservationists Teaming
Together) will be held Sunday from 1-5 p.m. at Forked
Run State Park, which is located along state Route 124
between Long Bottom and
Reedsville.
Activities include the
NASP archery trailer and
3D targets, the National
Wild Turkey Federation BB
shooting trailer, a helicopter ambulance display and
Passport to Fishing classes
at 1:30 and 3:30, and of
course plenty of opportunities to do some fishing.
The event coincides
with Ohio’s free fishing
days (Ohio residents only)
so parents can join their
youngsters in fishing at the
lake.
It is amazing how many
people from our area have
never been to Forked Run
State Park or Forked Run
Lake, which is probably
why the park is sometimes
called “Ohio’s Best-Kept
Secret.” The lake itself consists of just over 100 acres
and has numerous coves
and fishing holes.
Free food and refreshments will be provided.
The Meigs ACTT is a
coalition of Meigs County’s
outdoors clubs. Currently
the group is loosely orga-

nized but its default leader,
Meigs County wildlife officer Chris Gilkey, says that
is all going to change with
more structure and organization.
Hunters and anglers who
need to buy a license or permit or check a wild turkey
on Tuesday, May 7, need
to be aware of a scheduled
computer system outage,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The ODNR Division of
Wildlife’s automated computer system will be down
from 10 p.m. on Tuesday,
May 7, until 8 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 8. The
outage will affect all Internet and license vendor
transactions during this
time only.
License buyers who want
to hunt or fish on Wednesday, May 8, are asked to
make a purchase prior to 10
p.m. on Tuesday, May 7.
Turkey hunters need to
be aware that checking a
turkey at a license agent or
on the Internet should be
finished prior to 10 p.m.
on the evening of Tuesday,
May 7. The phone option to
check a turkey is still available after 10 p.m. for those
who have a permit number.
Landowners and others
not required to purchase a
turkey permit will have to
check turkeys prior to 10
p.m. Turkey hunters will
not be able to purchase a

HARTFORD, W.Va. —
The Lady Bison keep rolling.
The Buffalo softball
team earned its 17 consecutive victory Thursday
night with a 13-4 triumph
over host Wahama in the
Class A Regional semi-final
in Mason County.
The Lady Bison (29-4)
didn’t waste anytime as
Ali Burdette doubled and
scored on the Chelsey Parkins triple in the top of the
first inning. Parkins came
around to score to put
BHS ahead 2-0. Wahama
(21-13) freshman Rachel
Roque began the bottom
of the opening with a solo
homerun to cut the Buffalo
lead to 2-1.
The Lady Bison expanded its lead to 4-1 in
the third inning as Parkins
and Whitney Dingess each
scored. Parkins scored
again in the fifth. Buffalo
broke the game open with
eight runs on three hits,

six walks, an error and a
hit batter in the sixth inning.
Lady Falcons senior
Kelsey Billups singled to
start the home half of the
sixth and scored on the
Morgan Harrison triple.
Shalyn Greer hit a two-run
homerun, scoring Harrison but WHS failed to
score again and Buffalo
claimed the 13-4 triumph.
BHS sophomore Ali Burdette earned the victory
after giving up just four
runs on five hits in six innings of work. Burdette
struck out seven batters
and walked two.
Kelsey Billups suffered
the loss after giving up
13 runs on eigh hits, four
walks and a hit batter in
5.2 innings. Greer walked
two batters in relief, while
Destiny Divers pitched .1
innings.
Greer and Roque each
blasted a homerun for Wahama, while Harrison had
a triple. Billups and Bailey Hicks each singled in
the game, while Elisabeth

Hendrick had the game’s
lone stolen base. Greer
marked two runs batted
in, followed by Roque and
Harrison with one apiece.
Roque, Billups, Greer and
Harrison each scored once
in the loss.
Parkins and Amanda
Christy each marked two
hits to pace Buffalo, followed by Burdette, Katie
Higginbotham,
Olivia
Dunn and Katie Allen with
one apiece. Parkins scored
a game-high four runs,
Burdette crossed the plate
twice, while Higginbotham, Dingess, Christy,
Dunn, Allen, Kayla Reynolds and Taylor Briscoe
each scored one run.
Buffalo finished with 13
runs, eight hits and one
error, while Wahama had
four runs, five hits and
seven errors.
The Lady Bison defeated Wahama twice in
the regular season, 11-0
on March 21st in Putnam
County and 11-2 on April
8th in Hartford.

Wahama track sending 13 to state meet
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — It’s going to
be a busy two days for the Wahama track
and field program next weekend at Laidley Field.
Wahama had a total of 13 athletes qualify for state in 12 events Thursday night in
the Class A Region 4 track and field championships held at the Erickson All-Sports
Athletic Facility at Parkersburg South
High School in Wood County.
Both the White Falcons and Lady Falcons qualified for six state events apiece,
with the boys sending nine different athletes to Charleston while the girls will be
represented by four competitors. Wahama, however, had nobody win a regional
championship in an individual event.
The Lady Falcons placed fifth overall
out of seven scoring teams with 29 points.
Williamstown won the girls Region 4 title
with 224 points, while Doddridge County
(117.5) and Charleston Catholic (92.5)
rounded out the top-three team scores.
The 4x100m relay team of Kelsey Zuspan, Kelsey Taylor, Karson Tolliver and
Olivia Hill placed fourth overall with a
time of 55.49 seconds, which earned an
at-large bid to state. Zuspan qualified for
state in three individual events, while Tolliver advanced to state in two other competititons.
Zuspan placed second in the 100m
dash (12.86) and third in the 200m dash
(26.96), then earned an at-large bid in the
long jump with a fourth-place leap of 15
feet, 7 inches.
Tolliver earned an at-large bid in the
300m hurdles with a fourth-place effort
of 51.46 seconds and also qualified in
the 200m dash after placing fifth with a

time of 29.02 seconds.
The White Falcons placed seventh
overall out of nine scoring teams with 20
points. Doddridge County won the Region 4 boys title with 177 points, while
Williamstown (130) and Buffalo (93)
rounded out the top-three team scores.
The 4x400m relay team of Justin Tillis,
Michael Hendricks, Ian Kapp and Jacob
Ortiz placed fourth overall and earned an
at-large bid with a time of 3:46.06. Hendricks, Kapp, John Ohlinger and Anthony
Howard also earned an at-large bid to
state in the 4x800m relay after finishing
seventh with a time of 9:10.23.
Ortiz was second in the 100m dash
(11.68) for an automatic berth to state,
then added a pair of at-large bids in the
200m dash (23.86) and 300m hurdles
(44.12) after respectively placing fourth
and fifth. Zack Killingsworth was also seventh in the shot put event with a heave of
42 feet, 11.75 inches — good enough for
an at-large bid.
The top-three finishers in each event
qualify for state, plus the four fastest times
from the combined four regional meets
earn at-large bids to the state tournament
at Laidley Field. The state meet will be
held Friday and Saturday on the campus
of the University of Charleston.
Adam Wilson of Hannan placed sixth
overall in the boys high jump, which led
to Hannan’s lone regional point at the
meet. Wilson did not qualify for state in
that event, but the Wildcats did finish in a
ninth-place tie with Parkersburg Catholic
in the team scoring.
Complete results of the 2013 Class A
Region 4 track and field championships at
Parkersburg South High School are available on the web at runwv.com

Bryant getting second chance with Browns
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Armonty Bryant was afraid
his NFL career had ended
before it even started.
The Browns, though,
are giving the troubled
seventh-round draft pick
one more chance — his
last chance.
Arrested last week for
driving under the influence in Oklahoma, Bryant,
who also had a felony drug
charge last October while
in college, participated Fri-

day with Cleveland’s other
new players and undrafted
free agents on the first day
of Cleveland’s rookie minicamp.
But before taking the
field, Bryant met with
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski and apologized.
“He’s very remorseful
for the things that have
happened,”
Chudzinski
said following practice.
“He understands me and
what I expect from him

and is ready to make
amends.”
Bryant, who was given
a deferred one-year jail
sentence after pleading no
contest to the DUI charge,
said he feared the Browns
might cut ties with him
following his latest arrest.
Meeting with reporters after the workout was moved
indoors by thunderstorms,
he vowed to make it up to
the Browns — and not disappoint them again.

Rousing re-enactment
Annual ‘Siege at Fort Randolph’ approaching
Nathan Jeffers

njeffers@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT — In addition to
the legendary stories of the Mothman,
Point Pleasant is also known for events
surrounding Chief Cornstalk and an annual event to commemorate that historical
time is set for next week.
Events with the annual Siege at Fort
Randolph will begin on Friday, May 17,
with the main event, the re-enactment of
Cornstalk’s visit to Fort Randolph in 1777
and the siege on the fort in 1778, taking
place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. Admission will be $3, and children under six
are free.
According to Craig Hesson, president
of the Fort Randolph Committee, this
year marks the 13th year of the annual
re-enactment of the siege. Hesson said
attendance varies from year to year, but
as a whole as continued to grow, saying
around 400-500 people typically attend
the outdoor drama reenactment. Hesson
added a larger crowd is expected this year,
since there are more presentations and activities for those attending.
“This area has a great history and we
want to continue to share it with visitors
to Point Pleasant,” Hesson said “We began this event to share the history surrounding the event of 1777 and Chief
Cornstalk’s death at the fort and also the
siege that the fort was placed under in the
spring of 1778. There are many myths and
legends surrounding Chief Cornstalk’s
death and we want to share the history of
what really happened.”
For any who don’t already know the
story, Cornstalk made a diplomatic visit
to Fort Randolph in 1777 and was detained by the fort commander. When
American soldiers were killed nearby by

unknown Indians, soldiers at the fort executed Cornstalk, his son Elinipsico, and
two other Shawnee Indians on Nov. 10,
1777. In May 1778, a war party of over
200 Shawnee warriors form a line stretching from the Ohio to the Kanawha River,
placing the fort under siege.
A schedule of events for the entire weekend is as follows:
Friday, May 17 — Gates open, 9 a.m.;
School tours, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.; Gates
close, 5 p.m.
Saturday, May 18 — Gates open, 9
a.m; Life Skills Demonstrations, 9 a.m. to
noon; Indian Blanket Trade, 12:30 p.m.;
Magistrate Court, 1 p.m.; The Siege at
Fort Randolph re-enactment, 2 p.m.; Running of the Gauntlet, 3 p.m.; Auction, 4
p.m.; Gates close, 5 p.m.
Sunday, May 19 — Gates open, 9 a.m.;
Church services, 10 a.m.; Break camp, 2
p.m.
Pictured is another group of re-enactors discuss the siege.
The outdoor re-enactment is the only
event where there is a charge for admission. Those attending are encouraged to
bring lawn chairs and wear sensible shoes.
Concessions will also be available.
Also, this year, thanks to a $10,000
grant from the Gordon and Mildred Jackson Foundation, a new 12-feet-by-14-feet
cabin will be constructed at the fort to
showcase the role women played in the
history of early America. The new cabin
will feature displays on looms, spinning
wheels, candle making, etc.
For more information, visit www.
fortrandolph.org, or contact Hesson
at 304-675-7933 or chesson1774@suddenlink.net. Information on the siege
and other events is also available from

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
May 13, 2013:
This year you aspire to accomplish
certain life goals. A friend or group
of friends encourages you during the
times when you are not sure of your
direction. Express your gratitude.
If you are single, you are idealistic
about romance. Be careful about putting someone you find appealing on
a pedestal, as you would be setting
yourself up for disappointment. If you
are attached, the two of you might
opt to partake in a special activity that
fulfills a long-term dream. Remember
to stay grounded. CANCER idealizes
your stability.
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)
HHH Tension rises because your
vision seems to be in direct conflict
with what is really going on. Deal with
a domestic situation head-on, as it is
taking you away from other important
matters. A serious discussion likely
will evolve as a result. Tonight: Stay
present in the moment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Someone keeps distracting
you. In the middle of a conversation,
you could find your mind drifting off
to other places. It might take some
time, but clear out the distraction as
soon as possible. Only then can you
be more receptive. Tonight: A partner
tries to be easygoing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH You might be witnessing the
aftermath of a very busy period. For
some reason, you can’t seem to complete everything that you feel needs
to be done. Recognize that you are
only human. Consider delegating part
of your work. Tonight: Put your feet
up and relax.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH Your mind might be drifting off to yonder lands, but realize
that you need to be present in the
moment. Call on your self-discipline.
If this wandering continues, you’ll
want to consider taking a trip with a
loved one in the near future. Tonight:
Lighten up the moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Take your time with a decision, especially if it involves family or
a loved one. At the present moment,
you might not be seeing the situation clearly, or perhaps you just don’t
have all the information you need and
want. Ask questions. Tonight: Weigh
the pros and cons.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHHH Zero in on what you
need to accomplish. You will want
to think through a question more
thoroughly. You might not be able
to see someone clearly at this point,
and you could be wondering what to
do. Reach out to others for feedback.
Tonight: Where your friends are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You could be taken aback
by someone’s unusual ideas and
direction. You might want to proceed
in a completely different manner.
Honor a change that forces you to
rein in your thoughts. Consider being
practical for a week or two. Tonight:
Out late with friends.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH You can let go of a difficult
situation if you so desire. Only at
that point will you be able to detach
sufficiently in order to gain a new
perspective. You might want to have
a long-overdue discussion once
you discover a different answer or
solution. Tonight: Brainstorm with a
buddy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Deal with a loved one
directly, and know full well that you
first must get a personal matter
resolved in your mind. You do not
need to agree, but you do need to
understand where the other party
is coming from. Be a good listener.
Tonight: Keep a conversation going.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH Defer to others. You
might want some time to explore a
unique idea, and you’ll want to make
some phone calls. A friend could be
unusually negative, and, in a sense,
you might feel as if this person is trying to rain on your parade. Tonight:
Say “yes” to someone’s offer.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH You could see confusion
developing over a money matter. You
might be wondering when would be
an appropriate time to establish stronger boundaries. A serious discussion
with a respected friend gives you a
good sense about which way to go.
Tonight: Remain nurturing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You might not be ready to
see a situation in its cold, stark reality. Make it OK to see only part of
what is happening, despite feedback
from others. Follow your intuition, and
it will guide you. As a result, you will
be able to gain some clarity. Tonight:
Relax with a loved one.

King, Messiah: New baby
names suggest high hopes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Talk about
high expectations for a newborn: King
and Messiah are among the fastest-rising
baby names for American boys.
They’re just a little behind Major, the
boy’s name that jumped the most spots on
the Social Security Administration’s annual list of popular baby names.
Jacob is the most popular for boys —
again — and Sophia is the top name for
girls, according to the list released Thursday.
It was Jacob’s 14th straight year at the
top. Next were Mason, Ethan, Noah and
William. Liam cracked the top 10 for
the first time, coming in at No. 6. Daniel
slipped out of the top 10 for the first time
since 1998, to No. 11.
It was Sophia’s second year in a row at
the top for girls. Next were Emma, Isabella, Olivia and Ava.
But what about those rising boys’
names?
Typically, says Laura Wattenberg, author of “The Baby Name Wizard” and
founder of Babynamewizard.com, “You
don’t get a lot of Messiahs. You can have a
lot more Majors.”
“I have no doubt Major’s rising popularity as a boy’s name is in tribute to the
brave members of the U.S. military, and
maybe we’ll see more boys named General
in the future,” said acting Social Security
Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin.
Wattenberg said Americans have
long given their children “aggrandizing

names.” She noted that Noble and General
were on the list of popular boys’ names for
much of the 20th century, though neither
ever cracked the top 100.
“We’ve pretty much run out of presidential names, all the Jeffersons and Jacksons
and Madisons, so we’re moving on to the
aristocracy, I guess, or to the military.”
Jennifer Moss, author of “The One-ina-Million Baby Name Book” and founder
of Babynames.com, says she discourages
parents from giving children “expectation
names, like Justice and Chastity.”
“We feel that it kind of puts an undue
pressure on the child when you use those
kinds of grandiose or purity names,” Moss
said.
Chastity was in the top 1,000 for more
than two decades before dropping off the
list in 1994. Justice was on the list in 1880
but then fell off for more than 100 years.
The name reappeared in 1992 and was
No. 518 last year.
Jacob’s popularity endures because the
name has much of what parents look for in
a boy’s name, said Moss.
“It’s easy to pronounce, and it’s easy to
spell. It’s a solid manly name,” she said.
“It’s a biblical name, and biblical names
are always in style.”
On the girls’ side, Sophia first cracked
the top 100 in 1997. Isabella dropped off
the list from 1949 to 1990.
The Social Security Administration’s
website provides lists of the top 1,000
baby names for each year, dating to 1880.

YouTube’s new monthly subscription
channels go from campy to kids
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Roger Corman’s campy
B movies, children’s shows
like “Sesame Street” and
“Inspector Gadget,” and
inspirational monologues
by celebrities — these are
among the offerings on 30
channels that will soon require a paid monthly subscription on YouTube.
Although the world’s
largest video site has rented and sold movies and TV
shows from major studios
since late 2008, most people watch videos on YouTube for free.
It’s the first time YouTube is introducing allyou-can-watch
channels
that require a monthly fee.
The least expensive of the
channels at will cost 99
cents a month but the average price is around $2.99.
In the field of paid video
content online, YouTube
is playing catch up to services like Netflix, Hulu and
Amazon, all of which have
millions of paying customers.
But with a billion monthly visitors from around the
globe, the Google-owned
video service hopes to
quickly add subscribers
and add to the money it
already makes from online
advertising.
“This is just the beginning,” said Malik Ducard,
YouTube’s director of content partnerships. The site

plans to roll out a way for a
broad number of partners
to also launch pay channels
on their own soon.
Corman, a producer and
director whose influential
cult classics like “Deathrace 2000” and “Piranha”
earned him an honorary
Oscar in 2009, said he’s
kept his 400-film library
off of video streaming sites
until now.
In an interview with
The Associated Press, he
said he turned down an
offer from Hulu for about
$5,000 to $6,000 per film
several years ago, but
sees promise in the YouTube offering. His channel, “Corman’s Drive-in,”
will cost subscribers $3.99
per month for a rotating
selection of 30 movies,
refreshed with new interviews and clips from films
that are in production. It is
set to launch in June.
“I believed for many
years that the future of motion picture distribution,
particularly for the independents, is on the Internet,” the 87-year-old said.
“I think the time is now.”
YouTube
will
keep
slightly less than half of
the revenue generated by
the subscriptions.
Corman’s wife and
producing partner Julie
Corman said they were
taken aback at YouTube’s
potential after a clip of

their 2010 movie “Sharktopus” went viral with 11
million views.
If even 1 percent of
those viewers signed up
for a subscription, it would
amount to a healthy revenue stream, she said.
“The numbers are astonishing. We’re waiting for
the fireworks display,” she
said.
DHX Media Ltd., a
Canadian company that
owns the rights to 8,500
episodes of children’s TV
shows, is launching three
paid YouTube channels,
two for different age categories and one called
“DHX Retro” that replays
old programs such as “Inspector Gadget” and “Archie’s Weird Mysteries.”
It plans to launch in
10 countries and seven
languages — something
that is much easier online
than over traditional cable
or satellite networks, according to DHX executive
chairman Michael Hirsh.
“Clearing a channel
across 10 countries would
have taken a long time,”
Hirsh said. Doing it with
YouTube takes just a “metaphorical flip of a switch.”
As is the case with free
videos on YouTube, the
pay channels will be available for viewing on computers, mobile devices and
Internet-connected TVs.
