King, 43 Paislee Rae Nickels, infant Billy Joe ‘Fluff’ Williams, 56 Former sheriff’s secretary charged with theft Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Nearly a year after rumors of missing funds from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office began to circulate, an indictment has been filed in the case with the Meigs County Clerk of Courts. Mary Kimes, 44, of Middleport — who was formerly employed as the Sheriff’s secretary under sheriffs Ralph Trussell and Robert Beegle — was indicted by the grand jury earlier this week on eight counts of theft in office. Kimes has not been employed with the department since last summer. The indictment was filed by Special Assistant Prosecutor Sarah V. Schenck on Wednesday according to court records. The Daily Sentinel reported in January that Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s Office was conducting an investigation regarding former Meigs County Sheriff’s Office employee Mary Kimes. At the time, Jill Delgreco, a representative of the Attorney General’s office, confirmed that the office has assigned a special prosecutor to handle the case. Counts 1, 3, 5 and 7 of indictment allege that between the period beginning on Jan. 1, 2011, and continuing through June 30, 2012, that Kimes committed the crime of theft in office. Counts 2, 4, 6, and 8 of the indictment allege that between the period beginning on Jan. 1, 2011, and continuing through June 30, 2012, that Kimes committed the crime of theft in office. The four counts go on to state that the property or service involved was owned by the state, any other state, a country, municipal corporation of political subdivision. Each count states that the amount of the theft was equal to or greater than $7,500. Combined, the eight counts would add up to a minimum of $56,000. As charged, theft in office is a felony of the third degree. Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of three to five years. If convicted on all eight counts, Kimes could serve 24-40 years in prison. According to officials with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Kimes was employed with the Sheriff’s Office from 2004 until May 2012. Kimes reportedly submitted a letter of resignation from her position after being placed on administrative leave. Kimes is scheduled to be arraigned at 1 p.m. on June 24 in Meigs County Common Pleas Court Indictments filed in Meigs Motel murder Sarah Hawley TDSnews@civitasmedia.com Stephanie Filson/photos Ohio Hill Country Honey’s Fred Burdell answers beekeeping questions as students swarm around his honey bee exhibit. Celebrating Agriculture Awareness Day in Gallia Stephanie Filson Managing Editor sfilson@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Droves of Gallia County students were pleased the rain held off Friday when they converged at the Gallia County Fairgrounds for the Gallia County Farm Bureau’s 12th Annual Agriculture Awareness Day. Students from Gallipolis City Schools and Gallia County Local School District traveled to the fairgrounds to meet with a variety of exhibitors who represented a wide array of agricultural facets. Exhibits included a petting zoo, a hay ride, 4-H, feeds and seeds, the Gallia County Soil and Water Conservation District and beekeeping, among several others. The students were served lunch on site, courtesy of the Farm Bureau. As part of the festivities, students participated in a T-shirt design contest with the winner’s design printed on shirts distributed at the event.

Last awards ceremony held in old Southern gym Carrie Gloeckner Special to the Sunday Times-Sentinel GDTnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE – Students filed in two by two in cap and gown for the last senior awards ceremony at the Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium Friday. Students, staff, parents and relatives were welcomed to the ceremony honoring the graduating class by Southern High School principal, Daniel Otto. Throughout the ceremony, it was noted the curtain closes not only on the class of 2013, but the end of an era as the high school building that has been a part of the school district for 52 years has seen its last class. “This building has served the purpose and done its job well,” Otto said. In addition to commenting on the last year for the building, he also recognized retiring teachers from the district which included POMEROY — Indictments have been filed in the murder of Wallace “Randy” Chafin last week at the Meigs Motel. In indictments filed Friday, Ryan A. Cozart, 32, has been charged with aggravated murder, tampering with evidence, and aggravated robbery. Aggravated murder is a special felony, tampering with evidence is a felony of the third degree, and aggravated robbery is a felony of the first degree. Ariel R. Smith, 22, has been charged with complicity to felonious assault a felony of the second degree, and tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree. Sara J. Craig, 33, has been charged with tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree; obstructing official business, a felony of the fifth degree; and receiving stolen property, a felony on the fourth degree. All three defendants are scheduled to be arraigned at 9:15 a.m. on Monday, May 20, in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Preliminary hearing scheduled in Meigs County Court earlier on Friday were not held due to the indictments. According to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood, officials with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, and the Meigs County Coroner responded to the Meigs Motel soon after midnight on Thursday, May 9. Upon responding, officers found evidence of an altercation and a homicide. The victim was identified as Wallace R. Chafin, 57, of Meigs County. According to the complaint filed last week in Meigs County Court, Chafin was stabbed. Cozart and Craig were arrested early Thursday morning after returning to the crime scene in the victim’s car. Smith was arrested at a home in Portland, Ohio. All three appeared in Meigs County Court last Friday to be arraigned on charges connected to the murder. At the time Cozart was charged with murder, while Smith and Craig were charged with complicity to commit murder. Bond was set last week in Meigs County Court for Cozart and Craig at $1 million cash, while bond for Smith was set at $750,000. All three were remanded to the custody of the Meigs County Sheriff. Cozart is being held in the Washington County Jail, Smith is in Southeast Ohio Regional Jail, and Craig is in the Middleport Jail.

Market From Page A1 ing, and they have to, at least, be making some money in order to keep coming back,” Bodimer said. “So, we thought it would be good idea to have the market at a different location once a week to try to get some more traffic for the vendors, attract more vendors and to also make more people aware that the farmers’ market is still in town because there are still are a lot of people who don’t even know that there is a farmers’ market in Gallia County.” The Medical Shoppe location was chosen, according to Bodimer, not only because the area near the intersection of Jackson Pike and Ohio 160 is one of the most heavily traveled areas of the county, but also because of the Medical Shoppe’s willingness to work with the farmers’ market board. “They are very great to work with and are very excited to have us out there,” he said of the location where just two markets have been held this season. “And, steadily it will pick up as time goes on.” Despite the decision to move, Bodimer reported that is it still important for the farmers’ market to support the downtown Gallipolis area and to provide the opportunity for the growth of two separate markets with different vendors, and thus, different goods each week. “The downtown market will grow as well, but I think you are going to have two totally different markets, in my opinion,” Bodimer stated. The non-profit that began initially with the help of several influential people and organizations, including the Gallia County Agriculture Center Board, is always seeking to raise funds according to Bodimer, but has basically been self-sustaining thanks to the vendors who continue to sell their goods at the market. “Obviously, we take donations, but we do charge our vendors $50 for a one-year pass, or if someone wants to come down and try it out, they can set up for $10 a day, and that’s either at the park or at the Medical Shoppe location,” Bodimer reported. Bodimer also reported that, through the board’s continual efforts to improve the market, they have hired a new market manager for the 2013 season after working through the season last year without a manager. Through the interviewing process, Bodimer reported that the board chose Christina White, a life-long Gallia County resident who has an expansive history of volunteerism. “We’re really excited to have her on board. She is very organized and really enjoys this type of work. She’s been very good so far and very good to work with,” Bodimer stated. “I really think that will be beneficial to us this year, as well as moving the market to a different location once a week.” Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A3 White reported on her desire to see new vendors, as well as new customers visit the farmers’ market under her watch. “We’re always looking for new vendors,” White said. “If anyone is interested in renting a spot at either location, they can contact me. We follow the ‘cottage food rules’ for vendors and that basically means that all items bakery-wise have to be labeled and say that product is home produced and have a list of ingredients that is in the item.” White further reported that the number of vendors who come to the markets to sell their goods fluctuates throughout the season with more and more vendors selling produce through the summer months, with a fewer number of vendors selling their goods this early in the season. “It is very early within the growing season. Right now we have a lot of vegetable plants, hanging baskets, baked goods, jellies, fresh herbs, kale — very early produce — but as the summer progresses and the growing season progresses, we hope to have a wider variety of fruits and vegetables,” she said. Bodimer also reported that anyone can sell items at the farmers market including many of those residents in Gallia County who maintain their own gardens and would like to sell any extra vegetables that they may produce this summer. “It definitely provides an outlet for somebody who wants to try sell some of the produce out of their garden that they would otherwise throw away, or maybe they would want to grow a little more so they can make a little money in the summer, or maybe they are retired and want to do something like that,” Bodimer said. “I think it’s a great venue to provide fresh produce that is grown here locally or regionally.” Bodimer further stated that, as the farmers’ market continues to grow, the board hopes to only include those items that are strictly produced or grown within the county and not those items that are currently sold at the market that a provided from a regional source. “Right now, we allow stuff that doesn’t have to be locally grown, but eventually we’d like to get to the point where it all has to be locally grown because that’s the main goal,” Bodimer said. “Our slogan is ‘from seed to table, grown in Gallia County.’” The Gallia County Farmers’ Market is held every Saturday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on the State Street side of the Gallipolis City Park and every Thursday from 3 p.m.-7 p.m. at 101 Jackson Pike, behind the Medical Shoppe building.

Sure, there are plenty of forces pushing stocks higher — record corporate earnings, small investors finally buying again, signs the U.S. economy may be strengthening, central banks flooding the financial system with money. But you may want to spare a thought, and a healthy dose of worry, for what is one of the biggest, and least appreciated, reasons for the rally: buybacks. Flush with cash and a world of opportunity at their doorstep, companies have decided there’s nothing more attractive than themselves. So, they’re offering big money to buy back their own stock. This year, big U.S. companies have given the go-ahead for $286 billion of buybacks, up 88 percent from the same period last year, according to Birinyi Associates, a market research firm. If the pace continues for the rest of the year, the tally will exceed the record set in 2007. Every manner of company is caught up in the buying binge, including home-improvement chains, makers of farm equipment and jet engines, airlines, sellers of soft drinks and of hard liquor alike. Not one to miss a hot trend, Apple recently authorized as much as $50 billion of buybacks. Investors like buybacks because they suggest companies think their stock is cheap. They also help reduce the number of shares outstanding, which automatically increases earnings per share. And higher earnings per share often, though not always, lead to rising stock prices. But buybacks are also crucial to the rally for a reason that’s not widely known. Companies are one of the few big stock purchasers nowadays. Nearly every other big player in the stock market has been selling more than they’ve been buying. Pension funds have been selling. Local and state governments have been selling. Investment brokerages have been selling. And, yes, until recently, even Main Street investors. You can see this in the data released by the Federal Reserve each quarter, and it’s a sea of red — save for corporate buying, that is, buybacks plus purchases of other companies. In total, U.S. companies, not counting banks and other financial firms, have bought more than $1 trillion of stock in the five years through 2012, net of stocks they’ve issued. Experts note that companies may not spend all the money they have authorized on buybacks. But with investors clamoring for companies to return cash to them, either in dividends or buybacks, the odds are high that many will. However much they spend, each dollar of buybacks appears to be having a greater effect on raising the prices of certain stocks. That’s because fewer shares are changing hands each day. On Wall Street, it’s referred to as a “drying up” of liquidity. And like in any market, a purchase or sale when fewer people are trading can push prices up and down much more. DirecTV bought $1.4 billion of its own shares in the first quarter, or 7.8 percent of all trades in the company’s stock, according to data from Birinyi Associates. DirecTV rose 12.8 percent in the same period, two points more than the Standard and Poor’s 500. IBM bought $2.6 billion of its shares in the first quarter, or 5.6 percent of what was traded. It rose 11.8 percent. Stocks move up for all sorts of reasons, so the exact impact on prices of individual stocks when companies buy their shares is unclear. In any event, the total amount of buybacks doesn’t appear to be enough to have a big effect on the whole market. If companies in the S&P 500 follow through on their plans this year, the buybacks will amount to just 1 percent of total trading, estimates Robert Leiphart, an analyst at Birinyi. Still, companies that do buy back their own stock are seeing prices soar, and almost immediately.

I certainly appreciate her endeavor to draw attention to the Civil War in view of the Civil War sesquicentennial now going on. However, little about her dress was correct for the Civil War period. First of all, no lady in the Civil War would have ridden a horse in a Civil War formal dress — not only because it was incorrect but because hoops and multiple petticoats underneath would have made it impossible. Though the pictured dress may have had a modem hoop under it, a modern, formal dress hoop is not nearly large enough for the Civil War period. In addition, she is wearing a “day” dress, which is wrong for evening wear. Despite the Civil War being in the conservative Victorian period, an evening dress would have shown bare shoulders and cleavage. The shoes were totally wrong for a ball. Civil War period dress would have used slippers as evening wear-not high-top, laced shoes. Also, she had no gloves on. No lady in the Civil War would be caught dead without crocheted gloves. The statement in the article that hundreds died in the Battle of Buffington Island is also incorrect. The numbers of dead vary from 55 to 125 currently depending on your source. John H. Parker, a justice of the peace at Tuppers Plains, stated in his diary that there were 125 dead. With the anniversary of the battle nearly upon us, it is important to get the facts of the battle. However, I am sure I will hear many a protest that Gen. Morgan either ate supper with or stayed over night with ancestors of half the people of Meigs County, which, or course, never happened. Thanks to this teen for drawing attention to the Civil War. Keep working on that lady’s Civil War impression. Period Civil War dress is not as easy as many think it is. Sincerely Keith D. Ashley, Commander Ohio Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the U.S. (The oldest Civil War organization in Ohio) Pomeroy Minn. family impressed with local response Dear Editor, I would like to thank all who sent my daughter Mya information on your town.

Community should recognize graduates’ achievements Dear Editor, As spring blossoms into summer, graduates from local schools, institutions, and universities start on a new journey in life. I wish the best to all graduates and their families. As the graduation ceremonies excite the community, we, as a community, have a rare opportunity to reflect on the students achievements. As the graduation season fades into summer vacation, our elected officials and school administrators have an even rarer opportunity to reflect on the education and knowledge that these graduates have retained. In reflection, officials and administrators must consider the effectiveness of resources, the quality of instruction, and the level of preparedness of the graduates. Are the graduates truly prepared for the struggle of collegiate coursework? Are the graduates truly prepared to work in a competitive and evolving Page A4 Sunday, May 19, 2013 marketplace? I recently read a study that discussed the fact that an abundant number of college graduates are underemployed. College graduates are who have spent numerous years and thousands of dollars only to finish their education with debt and in a career field that does not support the dreams they had imagined. So, I sincerely hope that people with the power to change educational policy are able to reflect on the importance of preparing young people for stable employment at respectable wages in honest careers. I challenge them to think in divergent and creative ways to assess the effectiveness of their education; therefore, our educational institutions will have the ability to make critical changes that will allow future generations of students to thrive. If we cannot do that, then we unfortunately accept the fact that graduates may not be prepared. However, if we can do that, then our talented young people will have the confidence to live in southeastern Ohio and feel as though they can make a positive difference in this community. Steven Mahr, Gallia County Gun control failure reflects widespread attitude Dear Editor, The NRA is only a group of citizens who have came together to let their government officials be aware of what they want. As for the NRA (a group of citizens) being stronger than the presidency — NO!! It is the legislative representatives doing what most of their electorates want them to do. The presidency has to have checks and balances; that is why our founding fathers set up the democracy this way. Otherwise you would just have a dictatorship which our forefathers were more aware of than us. I keep hearing about 90 percent of the people and the leaders in Washington wanting gun controls. This is absurd; wake up, people. If this were so, it would be a done deal. All the legislators would automatically pass it because they know if they don’t the people who voted them into office would vote them out. Then they would not have their cushy well paid jobs with power and prestige. The “gun control bill” that failed in the senate is a good example of people reaching out to their representatives. Carl Saunders, Gallipolis, Ohio Reader eyes Pomeroy Public Works’ funding To the customers of Pomeroy Public Works, Have you noticed the uniform style work clothes the employees are now wearing? It’s no coincidence they all look alike, except for Supervision, who chose a different color. Why? Because you’re footing the bill for them. That’s right, we’re now paying to lease work clothes. With automatic yearly rate increases in place and a five dollar monthly surcharge on each bill, Council has decided that it would be a wise decision to spend money on clothes instead of blacktop or limestone or some other foolish item. Since they’re apparently awash with money, I’d propose that the automatic increase be abolished, and finances be reviewed each year to see if an increase would be in order. The five-dollar fee was to be for loan repayment or matching money for grants or something along those lines. Since they have so much money, let’s get rid of that, too. Or they could lease straw hats because everybody knows how brutal that summer sun can be. Finally, I’d like to ask the newspaper; why haven’t we read anything about this or much of anything else from Council meetings?

The River Valley softball team had its historic season come to a close Friday night following a heartbreaking 3-2 setback to host Fairland in a Division III sectional final contest in Lawrence County. The sixth-seeded Lady Raiders (16-12) — who set a school record for wins in a season — outhit the third-seeded Lady Dragons (19-7) by a small 7-6 overall margin, as the guests found themselves clinging to a 2-1 advantage after five innings of play. Fairland, however, rallied with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to secure a 3-2 lead and eventually held on to wrap up the one-run decision. FHS will face Westfall in a D-3 district semifinal at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Unioto High School. The Lady Dragons claimed an early lead after Molly Morris singled and later scored on a bases-loaded ground out by Chelsey Stanley, making it a 1-0 contest after one complete. The Lady Raiders countered with two runs in the top of the fourth after Maddie Branham delivered a two-RBI single that plated both Alexis Hurt and Ashley Gilmore, giving RVHS a 2-1 lead. The score stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth, as the hosts got a leadoff single from Chandler Fulks. Haley Woodall singled to put two aboard, but a Fulks was forced out at third on a fielder’s choice. Jaimie Phillips and Ellen Hinshaw followed with consecutive RBI doubles to plate Woodall and Phillips — giving Fairland a 3-2 edge. Fulks was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs, seven hits and three walks over seven innings while striking out 11. Noel Mershon took the tough-luck loss after surrendering three runs, six hits and three walks over six frames while fanning two. Branham led River Valley with two hits and two RBIs, followed by Mershon, Chelsea Copley, Libby Leach, Ashley Cheesebrew and Bethany Gilbert with a safety apiece. The guests also committed one error in the setback. Fulks, Woodall, Phillips, Hinshaw, Stanley and Morris each had a hit for the victors, who committed two errors in the contest. It was the final softball game for seniors Noel Mershon and Ashley Cheesebrew in the Silver and Black. The Lady Raiders captured what is believed to be their first winning season in school history this spring.

The Blue Devils (24-3) answered in the home half of the first when junior Gustin Graham doubled home Ty Warnimont and Jimmy Clagg. The Blue and White tied the game in the bottom of the second inning when Brady Curry scored on Warnimont’s triple. After the second inning nether team managed run and with the darkness setting in for the night the game was suspended following the seventh inning. A walk and an error put a runner in scoring position for the Purple and Gold in the top of the eighth but two consecutive flyouts to the center fielder ended the threat. GAHS loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the eighth and Warnimont drew a full-count walk, plating Cody Russell and giving the Blue Devils the 4-3 win. Clagg earned the victory on the mound after pitching the eighth inning and allowing just a walk.

They consider it an advantage that the NCAA tournament is being held over the next two weeks at a Big Ten site, on courts they’re familiar with, before some fans, friends and family, and in the typically fickle seasonal weather in the Midwest. The Buckeyes are confident. “This team brings a lot to the table,” said another junior from the Columbus area, Peter Kobelt. “We’re pretty deep and pretty talented. I think everyone should be looking out for us.” Tucker recalls past NCAA tournaments played in 90-degree heat, requiring players who survived three matches in four days by getting fluids via IVs.

That’s particularly true at Ohio State, where people plan weddings and funerals around the start times of football games but are oblivious to just about every other team. Meanwhile, other thriving programs get lost in the shuffle. “When we talk to certain people and we mention tennis and our ranking and our history, we get some weird looks because they don’t expect such good results,” said Blaz Rola, a junior who is a native of Slovenia.

Almost no one else does, however — even on the Buckeyes’ own campus. “The college tennis public knows we’re a good, solid squad,” said hardnosed coach Ty Tucker, a former player for the Buckeyes. “But I think to be considered the real deal, you’ve got to have the big trophy.” The Buckeyes (33-2), seeded No. 5 as the NCAA tournament reaches this weekend’s round-of-16 matches at Illinois, have room in their trophy case.

A report Friday night from WBBH, an NBC television affiliate in Fort Myers, Fla., said Phelps will return to swimming with an eye toward competing at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The threeparagraph story on the station’s Web site was posted by news anchor Peter Busch, who is the son of Frank Busch, director of the U.S. national swim team. “The greatest Olympian of all time isn’t hanging up his swimsuit, after all,” the report said, without citing any sources. Phelps went on Twitter to downplay the report, but he didn’t specifically deny it either. “Why do I keep getting texts about coming back?” he wrote. “Do (people) really believe everything they hear or read? There are (too) many (people) in the world that think they have a ‘story.’” Busch followed with a tweet that said he felt “very confident with my info. Guess we’ll see.” Phelps has said repeatedly his swimming career was over after winning 18 gold medals and 22 medals overall, both totals far more than any other Olympian. He retired at the age of 27 immediately after last summer’s London Games. There was no other immediate com- ment from the Phelps camp. A message was left with one of his longtime agents, Drew Johnson. Officials at USA Swimming also didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Just last weekend, longtime rival Ryan Lochte was clearly skeptical that Phelps would stick with his decision to retire from a sport he dominated for the past decade, especially when so many swimmers are competing well into their 30s. “I can’t really talk about it,” Lochte said, breaking into a sly grin during a Grand Prix meet in Charlotte, N.C. “Who knows?” In an interview last December with The Associated Press, after beating out LeBron James for male athlete of the year, Phelps stressed repeatedly that he had no plans to return to competitive swimming. He said London, where he captured four gold medals and two silvers, was the perfect way to close his career. “I wanted to leave that way,” he said. “I’m sure I could come back in another four years, but why? I’ve done everything I wanted to do. There’s no point in me coming back. Everybody is like, ‘You’re going to come back.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not.’ I’ve done everything I wanted to do in this sport. I don’t know a lot of people who can say that.” Medical / Health Help Wanted General Medical Billing-If you are seeking full-time employment and possess these skills: Strong Organizational and follow up skills, Excellent communication,problem solving-analytical, computer and microsoft office software, ability to change and adapt.

Sunday, May 19, 2013 �Sunday, May 19, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Late nights at gym likely to pay off for Oladipo Alyssa Cremeans signs with Alderson-Broaddus golf team CHICAGO (AP) — Victor Oladipo mentions the late nights at the gym, the wear and tear on his key card, and he’s quick to point out he’s just a tad unusual, too. The Indiana product is also just a few weeks away from realizing a dream. The NBA draft is next month and Olapido figures to be one of the top picks after he helped lead the Hoosiers back to national prominence. “It’s surreal sometimes,” he said. It’s also the product of all those hours at the gym honing his shot and developing into something more than a defensive stopper. He spent so much time there he wore out his key card. Now, he’s in for a big payoff. “I’ll be honest with you, I’m a weird dude,” he said Friday at the NBA draft combine. “At Indiana, we’d just finish watching a playoff game … a late game, West Coast.” That didn’t stop Oladipo from going to the gym afterward. He swiped his key card so much it stopped working. Not Oladipo, though. With his infectious demeanor and relentless drive, he helped the Hoo- Alyssa Cremeans has signed a letter of intent to play golf for Alderson-Broaddus University in Philippi West Virginia. Cremeans was an honorable mention selection for the Lady Marauders on the Division II All-District golf team as selected by the area coaches in both her junior and senior seasons. Cremeans will be a part of the first women’s golf team at Alderson-Broaddus University “When I first met Coach Schiffbauer I could tell he was really excited about starting the new program., Cremeans said. I was on the first women’s golf team at Meigs High School and I thought it would be pretty awesome to also be a part of the first women’s golf team at Alderson-Broaddus.” Cremeans will be majoring in Early Childhood/Special Education, with a minor in Art. “What really made me decide though was my visit, Cremeans commented loved campus and it reminds me of my hometown, so it will be like my home away from home.

Indiana came into the past season ranked No. 1 for the first time since 1979 and spent more time at the top of the poll than any other team, with Oladipo and likely lottery pick Cody Zeller leading the way. Oladipo was a bit overlooked when he arrived at Indiana from high school power DeMatha in Hyattsville, Md. But he dazzled with his athleticism and defense and improved in each of his three seasons in Bloomington. ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � ����������������������������� �������� �� �� 0RQ�)UL��DP�����SP�‡�6DW��DP����SP�‡�6XQ���DP����SP�(67 7YV[LJ[�@V\Y�/VTL $99.00 Customer Installation Charge. 36-Month Monitoring Agreement required at $35.99 per month ($1,295.64).

Venturi, US Open champion and CBS analyst, dies Doug Fergueson The Associated Press Ken Venturi, who overcame dehydration to win the 1964 U.S. Open and spent 35 years in the booth for CBS Sports, died Friday afternoon. He was 82. His son, Matt Venturi, said he died in a hospital in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Venturi had been hospitalized the last two months for a spinal infection, pneumonia, and then an intestinal infection that he could no longer fight. Venturi died 11 days after he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He couldn’t make it to the induction. His sons, Matt and Tim, accepted on his behalf after an emotional tribute by Jim Nantz, who worked alongside Venturi at CBS. “When dad did receive the election into the Hall of Fame, he had a twinkle in his eye, and that twinkle is there every day,” Tim Venturi said that night. Venturi was all about overcoming the odds. 60417321 �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, MAY 19, 2013 Along the River C1 Doo-Wop on the Block A ‘remember when’ party Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitas media.com MIDDLEPORT — They call it Doo-Wop on the Block, invite everyone to come, and promise a good time for all who do. It’s the Middleport High School Alumni Association’s free outdoor public event which this year is centered around the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Middleport swimming pool. It will take place on the King Ace Hardware parking lot on North Second Avenue in downtown Middleport from 7 to 9:30 pm. on Friday. Tim and Edie King are hosting the Doo-Wop which will feature a “remember when” theme revolving around the pool which was built in 1953. Closed for several years now, it is under consideration for demolition. For the Kings the challenge of using the swimming pool equipment as props in the decorations came in the “rescue and restore” phase of retrieving it. They detached, loaded up, and moved everything they could get loose to their store where the pieces were cleaned up, brushed down , and refinished by Tim and Dano King. There is a diving board, a lifeguard chair, ladder rails, light fixtures, a bronze recognition plaque put in place when the pool was built 60 years ago, a concession stand stool, life preservers, buoys that divided pool sections, signs listing the pool rules, and, yes, even a men’s rest room trough now overflowing with colorful flowers. On Friday afternoon everything will be moved out to the parking lot to decorate the space where the party will be held. For many alumni just seeing the equipment is sure to bring back memories of hot summer days spent swimming in the Middleport Pool. Elevated signs displaying the dates of the MHS five year reunion classes this year will be placed around the parking lot for special class gatherings.

Candice Glover wins 12th season of ‘American Idol’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — The third time’s the charm for Candice Glover on “American Idol.” The booming 23-year-old R&B vocalist from St. Helena Island, S.C., won the Fox singing competition after auditioning a trio of times and making it to the finals this year. Glover looked stunned when “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest announced she bested soulful 22-year-old country singer Kree Harrison from Woodville, Texas. Glover said backstage after winning she learned to “have fun, live in the moment and be confident.” “Because in previous years I wasn’t, so that’s definitely the key if you want to audition for the show or have a career,” she said. After her crowning, an emotional Glover sobbed her way through her new single “I Am Beautiful.” Glover’s win marks the first time a female and a nonwhite singer has won the competition since Jordin Sparks dominated the sixth season in 2007. The previous five winners — Phillip Phillips, Scotty McCreery, Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen and David Cook — were all Caucasian guitar players, known to “Idol” fans as WGWGs, or white guys with guitars. The lack of a female champion for the past five years was mocked in a finale bit featuring the female finalists, in cahoots with Sparks, jokingly sabotaging this season’s five male contestants. “The good news is ‘Idol’ leftovers have been doing really well on ‘The Voice,’” Sparks teased. Besides the coronation of Glover, Thursday’s finale also served as a farewell for Randy Jackson, the show’s last remaining original judge who announced last week that he’s leaving “Idol” to focus on his record label and other business opportunities. Jackson served as a judge on all 12 seasons of “Idol.” He first appeared on the panel alongside Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul when the competition debuted in 2002, becoming famous for his easygoing “yo, dawg” rapport with contestants. “I love everybody that walked on this show,” Jackson said. He added, “Hopefully, I touched their lives a little bit. They certainly touched mine.” Grammy- and Oscar-winning former “Idol” finalist Jennifer Hudson returned for Thursday’s finale to duet with Glover on Natalie Cole’s “Inseparable.” “I look up to her and, honestly, she is so successful after this show, and I really admire her,” said Glover backstage. “I finally got a chance to not only meet her but sing with her.” Hudson was among the guest stars who helped fill out the two-hour finale show, including Psy, Frankie Valli, Emeli Sande, Jessie J, Aretha Franklin and former “Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez. Current “Idol” judges Keith Urban and Mariah Carey — along with Jackson on bass — also performed. Jackson previously declared Wednesday’s three-song showdown a dead heat between Harrison and Glover, who have both once been among the show’s low vote-getters during the finals. “The title is freaking amazing, and I’m so proud of Candice, but for me, I’m so thankful I could even stand next to her on the finale,” said Harrison, who now lives in Nashville, Tenn.

(AP) — When the producers of the Academy of Country Music’s annual television special approached Tim McGraw about the 2013 edition, the country music star immediately flashed on the program’s format. “They were tribute shows and I certainly didn’t want anything to do with that,” the 46-year-old McGraw said with a laugh. “I wasn’t ready for that yet.” Instead, McGraw decided to take the show in a new direction, recasting it as a summer tour preview for fans. “ACM Presents: Tim McGraw’s Superstar Summer Night,” taped one day after the ACM Awards last month in Las Vegas, will air Sunday on CBS (9 p.m. EDT). McGraw invited top country stars like his wife, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry to perform, but said he was most excited by appearances from pop- and rock-world acts like Ne-Yo, Pitbull and John Fogerty. “There were a lot of great country artists there, but I see those guys all the time,” he joked. McGraw serves as host, sings some of his own songs and joins his fellow artists for others. Most of the invited stars perform one of their own songs during the show. He and Ne-Yo team up on “She Is.” McGraw joins Pitbull on “Felt Good on My Lips,” and he teams up with Swift and Urban on “Highway Don’t Care.” The moment that really sticks with him, though, was joining Fogerty, Aldean, Urban and Bryan for Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Born on the Bayou.” “We were completely floored when he opened his mouth and started singing,” McGraw said of Fogerty. “We’re all Fogerty fans, CCR fans, all the stuff that he did that was fantastic. But when he started playing guitar and started singing ‘Born on the Bayou’ in that voice — I think he’s in his mid-60s, if I’m not mistaken. He can flat … sing. We just sort of stepped back and looked at each other and said, ‘Are you kidding me?’” �Sunday, May 19, 2013 Sunday, May 19, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun 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, May 20, 2013: This year you often fuss about details and even could become quite critical; however, you also express a carefree, intellectual attitude and a sense of fun.

Cannes film fest opens with DiCaprio, Spielberg CANNES, France (AP) — The art of the blockbuster took center stage on the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, with Steven Spielberg presiding over the festival jury and Baz Luhrmann presenting his big-budget “The Great Gatsby.” Cloudy skies did little to dim the frenzy of the start of the 12-day French Riviera extravaganza, where dozens of the world’s most artistically ambitious films are set to premiere on the festival’s global platform. Wednesday, though, was a day for star power. Spielberg has had films at Cannes before, including “E.T.” and “Sugarland Express,” but never in competition. His presence here is a rarity, and he was received like a visiting head of state, a king of cinema. He’s serving as president of a jury that will decide the prestigious Palm d’Or, given to one of the 20 competing films. (Entries include new works from the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne and Steven Soderbergh.) This year’s jury is an intimidating, starry bunch, including Nicole Kidman, Ang Lee and Christoph Waltz. “Everyone sits in judgment of us,” Spielberg said. “So it’s our turn.” Luhrmann’s 3-D adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is this year’s festival opener, a choice that surprised many since the film opened last week in North America. Cannes typically takes precedence over release schedules, but “Gatsby” sails onto the Croisette after a robust weekend haul of $51.1 million. After Luhrmann noted in a news conference that the film had pushed Fitzgerald’s novel to the top of the bestseller list (selling more copies in a week than in the author’s lifetime), DiCaprio added with a grin: “And a little film adaptation is doing quite well at the box office.” But while “Gatsby” is getting a victory lap on the Cannes’ red carpet, it comes to the festival with the sting of mixed reviews. Many film critics have taken issue with the movie’s stylistic flourishes. “I knew that would come,” said Luhrmann, noting Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel was also initially received poorly. “I just care that people are going out and seeing it. I really am so moved by that.” “Gatsby” plays out of competition at the festival, but Spielberg should have his hands full with a slate lacking any obvious favorite. Internationallyrespected filmmakers like Roman Polanski (“Venus in Fur”), Asghar Farhadi (“The Past) and Jim Jarmusch (“Only Lovers Left Alive”) are to premiere their films in competition. Every year, the Cannes jury president is psychoanalyzed to help predict the Palme d’Or winner. This year is no different, with onlookers guessing that Spielberg will either gravitate toward the kind of warm-hearted films he’s best known for, or seek to deliberately contradict that assumption with a more audacious choice. Exhibition of secretly shot photos upsets NYers NEW YORK (AP) — Residents of a New York luxury apartment building are livid over an exhibition of photos secretly snapped through their apartment windows. Photographer Arne Svenson pointed his camera at the oversized windows of the Tribeca building from his secondfloor apartment across the street. The images show residents doing mundane things like napping, cleaning and put- ting children to bed. The photos don’t reveal their faces. They’re on sale for up to $7,500 at the Julie Saul Gallery in Chelsea. The New York Post says some of the residents are considering legal action. One said she recognized her daughter’s bedroom. Svenson says his neighbors were performing “on a stage of their own creation with the curtain raised.” $1 million in jewels stolen near Cannes film fest PARIS (AP) — A French police official says jewelry worth about $1 million has been stolen from a safe in a Cannes hotel room, against the backdrop of the Riviera resort town’s film festival.

Gilbert TV-over-Internet service hits Atlanta next month NEW YORK (AP) — Aereo, the startup that offers live television broadcasts over the Internet starting at $8 a month, said it will start service in the Atlanta market on June 17, following an expansion to Boston on Wednesday. Until this week, the service had been available only in the New York City area. Aereo said Tuesday that it will offer 27 Atlantaarea broadcast channels, plus the Bloomberg TV cable channel. Service will be limited to residents of 55 counties in Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. Those who had preregistered will be able to start using Aereo on June 17. Others will be eligible a week later. Aereo converts television signals into computer data and sends them over the Internet to subscribers’ computers and mobile devices. Subscribers can watch channels live or record them with an Internet-based digital video recorder. They can pause and rewind live television, just like using a DVR. Aereo sells its service as a low-cost alternative to cable or satellite TV, and it plans to target those who have dropped pay-TV service or never had it. Aereo offers far fewer channels than most pay-TV packages, but it could appeal to viewers who already turn to Hulu, Netflix and other online sources for TV shows and movies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
