Leport, 64 Ronald Knotts, Jr., 66 50 cents daily TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 161 Some motorists see increased speed limits More than 600 miles of highway to see speed limits increase Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Commuting motorists in Ohio may now gain a little time as the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) overhauls applicable speed limits across the state. For those traveling through Gallia and Meigs counties, this means faster travel on sections of Ohio 7, U.S. 33 and U.S. 35. The section of U.S. 35 between Gallipolis and Rio Grande, a section heavily traveled by motorists en route to and from West Virginia, is now 70 miles per hour, while sections of U.S. 33 and Ohio 7 in Meigs County have been raised to 60 miles per hour. In Athens and Jackson counties, U.S. 50 is now 60 miles per hour, as well. For the second time this year, speed limits on some Ohio road- ways are about to go up, this time on certain sections of U.S. and state routes. More than 600 miles of roadway will be affected as a result of new legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly earlier this year. The speed limit changes were effective as of Sunday, September 29. “Raising speed limits is not something the state takes lightly,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “We put much time and consideration into identifying roadways where speed limits could increase while maintaining a safe commute for Ohio motorists.” The legislative changes re- quire ODOT to produce 1,100 new highway signs at a cost of $114,845. Most of the signs – 580 in all – will be completely new and placed along the roadway, while the rest – 520 – are simply overlays that will cover a portion of an existing speed limit sign. The costs include materials and labor for producing the new signs. Most of the signs are already fully installed and visible to motorists. The legislation also establishes uniformity in speed limits for both cars and truck so that each vehicle is permitted to go the same speed on any Ohio roadway. In order to comply with the legislation, speed limits on some roadways may stay the same for cars, but will increase for trucks. Seventy mile per hour speed limits are not new to Ohio. On July 1, speed limits on 570 miles of rural Ohio interstates increased from 65 to 70 miles per hour for both cars and trucks. Motorists were already legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour on all 241 miles of the Ohio Turnpike. And according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 34 other states in the nation have some posted speed limits of 70 miles per hour or higher including Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia.

PHS grad releases new book on parenting OHIO VALLEY — Teen drivers remain one of Ohio’s most at risk groups when it comes to becoming involved in a traffic crash. From 2010-2012, teen drivers were at fault in 100,871 traffic crashes, resulting in 44,458 injuries and 299 deaths on Ohio’s roadways. Teen drivers were at fault in 10 percent of all fatal crashes during the same time period. While crash causes may vary, speed-related circumstances accounted for 57 percent of crashes caused by teen drivers. That is why it is important for teen drivers and their parents to be aware of the dangers new drivers face and for these new drivers to make safe and responsible decisions while driving. “No one else is in control of the vehicle except for the person behind the wheel,” said Lt. Max Norris, commander of the Gallia/Meigs Post. “That is why responsibility, awareness and safety are so important for our youngest drivers.” Teen drivers are inexperienced and at times can make poor decisions. As a result, in August 2012, the Patrol partnered with the Ohio High School Athletic Association to launch a program to educate Ohio high school students and student-athletes about the dangers new-drivers face. The You Are In Control program emphasizes the importance of decision making and reminds students that they are in control when behind the wheel. While education and awareness are extremely important, the Patrol also aims to change driver behavior through traffic enforcement. From 20102012, 62 percent of the citations issued to teen drivers were for speed-related violations and 18 percent were for failure to wear a safety belt. Teen drivers are encouraged to plan ahead when traveling to or from school or school events in order to eliminate rushing from one location to another. They are also reminded that safety belts save lives and they should encourage everyone in their vehicle to buckle-up, every time. Keller crowned EHS Homecoming Queen Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com In Coach Bob Springer’s newly released book “Go Ahead and Break Your Child’s Heart,” the author takes readers on a personal journey of his career as a football coach and shares the lessons he learned over the years about the lifelong effect of relationships between children and their parents. He talks about the need for consistency in discipline, an issue many times not addressed by parents because they reason there is no need to “upset my child who, after all, is only young once,” an attitude which Springer contends can lead to disaster — hence the book’s title. In the book, he relates his experience of witnessing a reversal of control between parents and their children and seeing the adverse effect it can have on a child’s development and ability not only to cope in adverse situations in life but also in his or her relationship with other people. Springer’s premise in the book is that too many parents today are “managed” by their son or daughter, and too many permit what he describes as “politically active and aggressive parents of other children” to run everyone’s life. He relates his experience of witnessing the results of this reversal of control between parents and their children and the negative result, and he calls on parents to step up to their responsibility of managing their children’s lives, unpopular as it may be. Thus the title of the book “Go Ahead and Break Your Child’s Heart.” Thirteen pages in the book are devoted to a section called “Leadership Considerations.” It is a program covering facets of bringing up children for parents to work through. The book includes a delightful fiction story called “Back Home.” It’s written in “coach talk” and is the story of going back home to a 30th class reunion, and the happenings of that weekend to which many of us can relate. Springer is a 1960 graduate of Pomeroy High School.

Gov’t shutdown enters second week WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown entered its second week with no end in sight and ominous signs that the United States was closer to the first default in the nation’s history as Speaker John Boehner ruled out any measure to boost borrowing authority without concessions from President Barack Obama. The uncompromising talk rattled financial markets early Monday with the Dow dropping more than 100 points in early trading. Just 10 days before the threat of default would be imminent, animosity among congressional leaders marked the stalemate and resolution seemed elusive. A statement from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Coach Springer, a PHS graduate, tells it like he sees it. us to be refreshed, restored, refueled, and re-fired. Wright is a former Pastor of Maranatha Fellowship Church in St. Albans, West Virginia, where one of the greatest revivals broke out and lasted about 30 weeks with over 300 people saved. Boehner of a credibility problem and called on him to allow a vote on a straightforward bill to reopen the government. “There is now a consistent pattern of Speaker Boehner saying things that fly in the face of the facts or stand at odds with his past actions,” said Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Reid. “Americans across the country are suffering because Speaker Boehner refuses to come to grips with reality.” In response, Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, said it was “time for Senate Democrats to stow their faux outrage and deal with the problems at hand. The federal government is shut down because Democrats refuse to negotiate, and the debt limit is right around the corner.” A defiant Boehner insists that Obama must negotiate if the president wants to end the shutdown and avert a default that could trigger a financial crisis and recession that would echo 2008 or worse. The 2008 financial crisis plunged the country into the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. “We’re not going to pass a clean debt limit increase,” the Ohio Republican said in a television interview Sunday. “I told the president, there’s no way we’re going to pass one. The votes are not in the House to pass a clean debt limit, and the president is risking default by not having a conversation with us.” Boehner also said he lacks the votes “to pass a clean CR,” or continuing resolution, a reference to the temporary spending bill without conditions that would keep the government operating. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned that the budget brinkmanship was “playing with fire” and implored Congress to pass legislation to re-open the government and increase the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt limit. Lew reiterated that Obama has no intention to link either bill to Republican demands for changes in the 3-yearold health care law and spending cuts. The shutdown has pushed hundreds of thousands of workers off the job, closed national parks and museums and stopped an array of government services. Exchanging From Page 1 Meigs Extension Educator to the 30 people or so attending. Local plant exchanges are held twice annually — one in the spring and the other in the fall — by the Meigs County Master Gardeners and Extension office personnel. Participants may bring plants from home and exchange them for something different. Or, if you have no plants to bring, you come and get some to take home. The goal is to encourage the hobby of gardening through the practice of sharing plants and learning how to grow them through the educational tips offered by Kneen. At last week exchange session, Kneen answered questions about flowers — the best locations for planting them, when to do it, the space involved and whether they can be grown in a pot instead of being planted in the ground. Among the plants he talked about were pansies, the hardy ones, and mums which sometimes while classified as annuals “over winter,” and the Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Information on when, how and where to plant things that grow was given by Hal Kneen, extension agent. care of dahlias which need to be dug up and stored in boxes over the winter until they can be planted again in the ground again in May.

(AP) — The state Department of Education is urging more than 13,000 West Virginians to complete their GED before the test changes. On Jan. 2, 2014, an electronic version of the high school diploma equivalency test will debut. The new version’s content will align with the national Common Core standards. People who have not completed the existing GED by Dec. 31 will have to start over, West Virginia head GED administrator Debra Kimbler told the Charleston Gazette (http://bit. ly/1bPCcUP ). Another change is the cost. West Virginia is one of only four states that offers the $50 test for free. The Legislature voted in 2008 to provide state funding for GED vouchers to cover the cost, Kimbler said. The state funding is not enough to cover the $120 cost of the new electronic GED, Department of Education spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro said. “In addition to the current form of the GED test expiring, there were some financial concerns because the cost of the test was going to go up, and it was unknown if the state could continue to pick up the bill,” Cordeiro told the newspaper. “At this point, there are solutions in progress, including re-bidding the test to another vendor that would not cost additional monies, and therefore current allocated state monies could cover the costs.” Cordeiro said the test will remain free for West Virginians until at least the end of the year. “Having the GED paid for … it’s made a huge difference. We didn’t have free GED testing when I first took the job as an examiner, and I went from testing once a month to testing every week,” Kimbler said. “This is literally a life-changing event for the students, because it opens doors of opportunities that were once closed, and we hope the Legislature will continue that.” She said about 4,000 people in West Virginia received their GED. The passing rate was 76 percent, compared to 69 percent nationally. Ohio schools’ levy campaign collections questioned confident it’s legal. David Lampe, an attorney for the school district, says a provision in state law allows public school districts to use a portion of the contributions to defray any costs associated with making them. Two local prosecutors say they will review the practice at districts under their jurisdiction, while another has declined to look into two districts — Kings and Mason — that employ the practice.

(AP) — West Virginia leads the nation in the rate of fatal drug overdoses, and a report released Monday says that rate is now six times higher than it was about a decade ago. But the Trust for America’s Health also gives West Virginia high marks for trying to tackle the problem, noting the state is using eight of 10 promising strategies to curb prescription drug abuse. It says only two strategies are lacking: Good Samaritan laws that offer immunity or lighter sentencing for people who are trying to help themselves or others from overdosing; and a rescue-drug law that would give lay people access to naloxone, a drug that can be used to counteract an overdose. The report found 28.9 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2010 in West Virginia, the majority of those involving prescription drugs. That’s 605 percent higher than in 1999, when the fatal overdose rate was just 4.1 per 100,000 people. The other states in the top three were New Mexico, with 23.8 per 100,000 people, and Kentucky with 23.6. Nationwide, the report says, prescription drug overdose deaths now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined. And in 29 states, including West Virginia and the District of Columbia, more people die from drug overdoses than from motor vehicle accidents, the report says. “The rapid rise of abuse requires nothing short of a full-scale response — starting with prevention and education all the way through to expanding and modernizing treatment,” the trust’s executive director, Jeffrey Levi, said in a statement. “There are many promising signs that we can turn this around, but it requires urgent action.” Levi said abuse of prescription painkillers alone is costing the country an estimated $53.4 billion in criminal justice and medical costs, as well as lost productivity. The report also says only 1 in 10 Americans with a drug problem receives treatment. The trust says some strategies to curb the problem appear to be working, including public awareness, more treatment options, and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs that provide real-time interstate information that can help identify so-called problem prescribers and so-called “doctor shoppers,” people who visit multiple doctors to get more prescriptions for the same drug. The report, funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, says a national survey found the number of Americans abusing prescription drugs dipped from 7 million in 2010 to 6.1 in 2011. But earlier this year, authorities involved in efforts to crack down on the prescription drug dealing in West Virginia said they were seeing an alarming increase in heroin trafficking as users began seeking less expensive drugs. U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said that while prescription drugs are the biggest crime problem in West Virginia’s southern district, heroin seizures by drug task forces more than quadrupled from 2011 to 2012. His office did not immediately comment Monday. Ohio opens case in $100M charity fraud case CLEVELAND (AP) — A onetime fugitive went on trial Monday on charges of masterminding a $100 million multistate fraud under the guise of helping Navy veterans, with prosecutors calling him a lying thief and the defense detailing his charity work. The 67-year-old defendant calls himself Bobby Thompson, but authorities have identified him as Harvardtrained lawyer and former military intelligence officer John Donald Cody. Assistant Ohio Attorney Brad Tommario called the defendant a thief who cannot tell the truth and said he had siphoned nearly $3 million from Ohio donors. Defense attorney Joseph Patituce used a white board to detail the defendant’s charity work, which it has defended as legal. A jury was selected last week, and testimony is expected to begin later Monday. The defendant is charged with defrauding donors to a reputed charity, the United States Navy Veterans Association based in Tampa, Fla. He could face 40 years in prison if convicted. The judge mentioned the possibility of a plea deal last week, but both sides discounted that possibility. The judge rejected a renewed defense request to subpoena testimony from leading Ohio Republicans includ- ing U.S. House Speaker John Boehner. The defendant has showered politicians, often Republicans, with donations, and the defense wanted to show that they were legal. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, also the subject of a subpoena move, said the alleged crimes can be proved without delving deeply into his political giving. DeWine’s office is handling the trial. Besides Boehner, political gifts went to almost every member of the state’s GOP congressional delegation and to former state Attorneys General Jim Petro and Betty Montgomery, both of whom were defense subpoena targets.

When a bald eagle dies, she sends the federally protected remains to a special eagle repository near Denver that ships feathers and carcasses to Indian tribes for their sacred ceremonies.

So the volunteer wildlife rehabilitator put the 9-pound bird in the freezer alongside food for the owls, hawks and two live eagles recovering at her Medina home. “I’d like to get it out of there,” Pencille said. “We definitely need the space.” A week into a partial government shutdown, some messy stuff is stacking up.

Among 49 public school systems in southwestern Ohio, nine collect the voluntary contributions and forward the money to private campaign organizations, according to public records requests by one newspaper. Christopher Finney, attorney and founding member of a citizens group opposed to the practice, said it’s a blatant and illegal use of resources and personnel of publicly funded schools. He cited a state law that says boards of education shouldn’t use public funds to support or oppose school levies. “It’s outrageous because typically the abuse of tax dollars to advance the cause of bigger government is usually more subtle,” said Finney, of the Hamilton County-based Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, or COAST, a longtime critic and active litigator against various area school districts, Some state school officials agree with him, but officials in the school districts with the practice defend it.

Every year, millions of people participate worldwide and help to improve lives of millions others through volunteerism. We’ve all had a renewed spirit of pride in America since September 11, 2001, and Make a Difference Day is a great time to show it each year. We can accomplish a lot if we all work together. This would be a great time to begin a good habit, which will carry through the coming years. Of course, our real motive in designating one day to volunteer is the hope that people will enjoy the experience and want to volunteer regularly. Nearly all our local non-profit agencies need volunteers to help with administrative work, painting walls, building a wheelchair ramps, sorting clothing, organizing a food pantry, etc. Volunteering is always a positive experience, and you may find that making a difference for someone else makes a difference in your life, as well. If you volunteer only one day a year, please make it this day. Join the action on Oct. 26, 2013, the 23rd annual Make A Difference Day, the nation’s largest day of community service. On Make A Difference Day 2013, millions of volunteers will unite to improve the lives of others in their communities. Whether you want to help a local organization or organize a project of your own, you will be helping someone else in the patriotic spirit this day was founded upon. Your project doesn’t have to be something big. Just help an elderly neighbor clean up the yard or winterize their home, go grocery shopping for a shut-in, or do some painting or small carpentry job for a neighbor. Local Boy Scouts and United Way are sponsor- ing a flag sale on the day. They will be offering outdoor flags for sale at cost and will collect any worn flags being replaced. At the end of the day, the Boy Scouts will perform a flag retirement ceremony for the old flags. This is a very meaningful and impressive ceremony. This is a good opportunity for local citizens to brighten up their exteriors and show their patriotic spirit. The flags are outdoor-quality permanylon fabric, 3x5’, with grommets for mounting. The flags will be sold in the front of Central Supply on Court Street from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 26. Early orders will be accepted this week, and the flags will be delivered on Saturday, October 26. Worn flags which need to be disposed of will be collected at this time. The flag retirement ceremony will be conducted by Boy Scouts at the Gallipolis river front at 7:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Judy Walters at 740-441-7408 or Terry McKinniss at 740-339-2165. Guns and domestic violence: A lethal mix Laura Finley, Ph.D. The Supreme Court has now agreed to hear a case involving whether persons convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors should be prohibited from possessing guns. The case involves James Castleman, who in 2001 pleaded guilty under Tennessee law to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence against the mother of his child. In 2009, Castleman was found in possession of several guns, which was prohibited by a 1996 law that made it illegal for those who have misdemeanor convictions of domestic violence involving physical force or a deadly weapon to possess guns. Allegedly, Castleman was purchasing weapons and selling them illegally. An appeals court in Cincinnati, Ohio ruled that the federal law does not apply in Castleman’s case because his domestic violence conviction did not involve physical force. As a long-time domestic violence advocate and scholar who has written extensively about the subject, I am deeply concerned about the implications should the Court overturn the federal legislation. First, we know that guns and domestic violence are a lethal mix. Numerous studies have found that the chance of a homicide increases dramatically in domestic violence cases in which the perpetrator has a gun. For instance, a study reported in the journal Trauma, Violence & Abuse found that domestic violence assaults were 12 times more likely to end in a fatality when a gun was involved. Of all females killed with firearms, almost two-thirds were murdered by intimate partners. Another study by Jacqueline Campbell of Johns Hopkins University found that guns were used in 88 percent of homicides sampled, while David Adams, author of Why Do They Kill? Men Who Murder Their Intimate Partners, found that guns were used in 92 percent of domestic violence murder-suicides. The Violence Policy Center reported that, in 2010, more women were shot and killed by partners than by strangers using all other weapons combined. Second, many offenders are able to plea down to misdemeanor offenses when what they really did would be a felony. Were the Supreme Court to exclude misdemeanors that do not involve physical force, the result might be that some very dangerous people who were able to use the ubiquitous plea bargain system in the U.S are allowed to possess lethal weapons.

Amelia is part of a large research project outside the nation’s capital that is decoding the DNA of hundreds of infants. New parents in a few other cities soon can start signing up for smaller studies to explore if what’s called genome sequencing — fully mapping someone’s genes to look for health risks — should become a part of newborn care. It’s full of ethical challenges. Should parents be told only about childhood threats? Or would they also want to learn if their babies carried a key gene for, say, breast cancer after they’re grown? Could knowing about future risks alter how a family treats an otherwise healthy youngster? And how accurate is this technology — could it raise too many false alarms? This is the newest frontier in the genetic revolution: how early to peek into someone’s DNA, and how to make use of this health forecast without causing needless worry. “This was something that was looming over the horizon,” said Dr. Alan Guttmacher, a pediatrician and geneticist at the National Institutes of Health. Last month, NIH announced a $25 million, five-year pilot project in four cities — Boston, San Francisco, Chapel Hill, N.C., and Kansas City, Mo. — to start answering some of the questions before the technology is widely offered for babies. Today, the 4 million U.S. babies born annually have a heel pricked in the hospital, providing a spot of blood to be tested for signs of at least 30 rare diseases. This newborn screening catches several thousand affected babies each year in time for early treatment to prevent death, brain damage or other disabilities. It’s considered one of the nation’s most successful public health programs. A complete genetic blueprint would go well beyond what that newborn blood spot currently tells doctors and parents — allowing a search for potentially hundreds of other conditions, some that arise in childhood and some later, some preventable and some not. “If I truly believed that knowing one’s genome was going to be transformative to medicine over the next decade or more, then wouldn’t I want to start generating that information around the time of birth?” asked Dr. John Niederhuber, former director of the National Cancer Institute who now oversees one of the largest baby-sequencing research projects to date. At Niederhuber’s Inova Translational Medicine Institute in Falls Church, Va., researchers are mapping the genomes of newborns, along with their parents and other relatives for comparison.

But the experimental tests will turn up some gene mutations already well-known to cause serious ailments, and participating parents must choose upfront whether to be told. They don’t get a full report card of their baby’s genes. Only ones that cause treatable or preventable conditions — so-called medically actionable findings — are revealed, to the family’s doctor. That means in addition to pediatric diseases, parents also could learn whether a baby carries a particular breast-cancer-causing gene, information useful once she reaches young adulthood. Nurse Holly Sloan was eager to enroll daughter Amelia, although she thought hard about how she’d handle any bad news. “If it was something that we could hopefully prevent through diet or exercise or some kind of lifestyle change, we could start with that as early as possible,” said Sloan, of Warrenton, Va. “I guess I’m just the type of person, I would rather know and address it.” Five months after Amelia’s birth, she hasn’t gotten any worrisome results. Until now, genome sequencing has been used mostly in research involving curious adults or to help diagnose children or families plagued by mysterious illnesses. But many specialists say it’s almost inevitable that DNA mapping eventually will be used for healthy young children, too, maybe as an addition to traditional newborn screening for at least some tots. It takes a few drops of blood or a cheek swab. And while it’s still too costly for routine use, the price is dropping rapidly. Whole genome sequencing is expected to soon come down to $1,000, what it now costs for a more targeted “exome” sequencing that maps only certain genes and may be enough. The NIH decided this was a window of opportunity to explore different ways this technology might be used. One of the four teams — at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City — will test rapid gene-mapping to speed diagnosis of sick babies in intensive care. Another will look for narrow sets of genes important in childhood, such as those involved with immune disorders not detected by today’s newborn screening or that alter how a child processes medication. “It’s not going to be some sort of fishing expedition throughout the genome,” said Dr. Robert Nussbaum of the University of California, San Francisco. The two other projects — at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill — will go a step further by enrolling healthy infants as they explore what kind of information parents want about their babies’ future.

Senate Democrats moved to introduce legislation to raise the nation’s debt limit without the unrelated conditions Republicans have said they are seeking. The White House signaled it would accept even a brief extension in borrowing authority to prevent an unprecedented default by the United States. On Sunday, speaker John Boehner had ruled out a vote in the House of Representatives on a straightforward bill to increase the government’s borrowing without concessions from President Barack Obama. Lawmakers have until Oct. 17 to reach a deal on increasing the nation’s debt ceiling. Failure to strike a deal could cause the United States to miss payments on its debt. The Treasury warned last week that a default could push the economy into a downturn even worse than the Great Recession. “Everything now is predicated on Washington,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential. “That is what the market is focused on completely, getting a deal done to avoid a default.” The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 14.38 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,676.12. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 136.34 points, or 0.9 percent, to 14,936.24. The Nasdaq composite fell 37.38 points, or 1 percent, to 3,770.38. The losses were broad. Nine of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 dropped. Phone companies were the only sector to advance. Until now, the stock market has mostly moved sideways since the shutdown began at the start of the month, indicating that investors still expect lawmakers to come up with a deal. The S&P 500 is down 0.3 percent in October. In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.63 percent from 2.65 percent. The yield has fallen close to its lowest in two months. Investors have bought Treasurys on concern that U.S. economic growth will slow as the budget impasse drags on. There were also other signs that investors are getting gradually more nervous about the debt ceiling deadline. The VIX index, which rises when investors are getting more concerned about stock fluctuations, rose to its highest in more than three months. The dollar fell against the euro and the Japanese yen. The dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against other currencies, fell for the seventh day in nine. The gauge is close to its lowest since February. One of the reasons stocks haven’t fallen more is that some investors see the current stall as a blip rather than a change in the long-term trend. The Federal Reserve continues to keep up its unprecedented stimulus of the economy, a strategy that has helped support a fouryear surge in stocks. The stock market climbed to record levels in September after the Fed said it would keep buying $85 billion of bonds a month to support the U.S. economy. Many investors had expected the central bank to start reducing its stimulus. Minutes from the September meeting will be published Wednesday, giving investors insight into the central bank’s thinking. “We would encourage investors with a long-time horizon to think of this as a buying opportunity,” said Kristina Hooper, U.S. Head of Investment and Client Strategies at Allianz Global Investors. Many investors, who bought bonds after the financial crisis and the Great Recession, still hold too many bonds in their investment portfolios, she said. Investors will also be keeping an eye on earnings reports. Companies start releasing financial results for the third quarter this week. S&P 500 companies are projected to report slowing earnings growth for the fourth straight quarter, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. The data provider predicts that earnings in the July-through-September period rose 3.1 percent, compared with growth of 4.9 percent in the previous quarter. Among stocks making big moves: — Cooper Tire & Rubber fell $3.79, or 12.8 percent, to $25.72 after the company filed a complaint in a Delaware court on Friday asking that the Indian company buying it quickly close on the deal. Investors took the news as a sign that the deal is in jeopardy. — Mattel slipped $1.40, or 3.3 percent, to $41.15 after a Goldman Sachs analyst cut his earnings estimates for the toy maker. The investment bank also cut its estimates for Hasbro, which fell 80 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $46.53. Goldman is predicting a tough holiday season for the toy makers as children favor video games. — Apple rose $4.72, or 1 percent, to $487.75 after a Jefferies analyst raised his rating and price target on the stock, saying improving margins should help the business until the launch of the iPhone 6. Online delays signal strong demand for health care SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Overloaded websites and jammed phone lines frustrated consumers for a second day as they tried to sign up for health insurance under the nation’s historic health care overhaul. That was putting pressure on the federal government and the states that are running their own insurance exchanges to fix the problems amid strong demand for the private insurance plans. “I think I’m through with Hawaii Health Connector,” said Richard Gamberg, 61, of Honolulu, after tweeting messages to officials and complaining to state lawmakers on Wednesday. “They’ve got ads in the newspaper, they’ve got ads on the TV — it just flabbergasts me.” He was among the would-be customers in Ha- waii who were still unable to buy insurance policies online Wednesday, forcing them to turn directly to insurance companies to examine their options. In Oregon, officials said a faulty online calculator would not be fixed until late October. ating. Burial will follow in Mound Hill Cemetery, Gallipolis.

(AP) — When Tim Peterson finished planting his 900 acres of winter wheat last week, the usually market-savvy Kansas farmer unexpectedly found himself struggling to make critical marketing decisions without being able to access to vital agricultural reports, casualties of the federal government shutdown. “We have no clue what is going on in the market,” said Peterson, who farms near Monument in northwest Kansas. He typically protects his investment in seed and fertilizer by “locking in” the price his wheat crop will fetch next July with a futures contract that shields farmers from market fluctuations by guaranteeing a price while the crop is in the ground. Farmers and livestock producers use the reports put out by the National Agriculture Statistics Service to make decisions — such as how to price crops, which commodities to grow and when to sell them — as well as track cattle auction prices. Not only has the NASS stopped putting out new reports about demand and supply, exports and prices, but all websites with past information have been taken down. “It is causing a direct void in information that is immediate,” Peterson said. This worries him far more than his other problem: When will his $20,000 subsidy check from the government, which usually comes in October, arrive? Since the U.S. Agriculture Department’s local farm services offices also have been shuttered, farmers can’t apply for new loans, sign up acreages for government programs or receive government checks for programs they’re already enrolled in. And at a time when researchers who are seeking new wheat varieties and plant traits should be planting experimental plots, all work has ground to a halt. Kansas Farmer’s Union president Donn Teske, a grower in the northeast Kansas town of Wheaton, worried about payments he’s owed for idling some environmentally sensitive land under the Conservation Reserve Program. “I always look forward to that check coming in the mail,” the 58-year-old said. But all of that, farmers say, pales in comparison to the lack of agriculture reports, because farmers today depend far more on global marketplaces than government payouts. The reports, for instance, can alert them to shortfalls in overseas markets or if there’s a wide swing in acres planted, both of which would prompt U.S. growers to plant extra crops to meet those demands or hang on to a harvest longer to get a better price. “That information is worth a lot of money, a lot more than $20,000 a year,” Peterson said, a reference to his subsidy. Major commodity players can pay for crop size estimates usually provided in the NASS reports from “private sources,” said Dalton Henry, director of governmental affairs for the industry group Kansas Wheat. “Producers aren’t going to have that same luxury,” he said. During the shutdown, the USDA won’t provide sales reports from Oklahoma livestock auctions that are used to help set prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, state Department of Agriculture employee Jack Carson said. “We are working. They are not,” Carson said. Another ripple effect is that farmers may see a delay in checks they’re owed from federal support programs, said Wisconsin agriculture secretary Ben Brancel.

The Gallia Academy football team held the top-ranked Belfry Pirates in check for 24 miuntes Friday night, but the Bluegrass State hosts scored 27 second half points to take the 41-19 victory and improve to 6-0. The Pirates (6-0) forced Gallia Academy (4-2) to punt on the game’s opening drive and just one minute into its opening drive Belfry found paydirt. A 41 yard touchdown run by Justin Johnson and extra point by Austin Woolum put BHS on top 7-0 midway through the first quarter. The Blue Devils answered with less than a minute to go in the first period with a Wade Jarrell 12 yard run for six. Dylan Saunders added the point after and the Blue and White pulled even with Belfry, 7-7 at the end of one quarter. After a pair of failed drives by each team in the second quarter Belfry finally found itself in scor- ing position with a minute until halftime. The Pirates main runningback Trenity Carr blasted into the endzone from one yard out and, following Wollum’s point after, put BHS on top 14-7 at halftime. Just two minutes into the second half Belfry quarterback Sani Warren found Keaton Taylor for a 31 yard touchdown pass and, with the Wollum extra point, increased the Pirates lead to 21-7. Three minutes later Warren connected with Taylor again, this time for a 29 yard touchdown that put Belfry ahead 27-7. Within two minutes of the fourth period Belfry’s Andrew Fletcher capped off the 51-yard drive with a six yard touchdown run and, after a Wollum extra point, gave the Pirates a 34-7 advantage. The Blue Devils answered with a 20 yard touchdown pass from Wade Jarrell to Logan Allison and GAHS trailed 34-13 with nine minutes remaining. Belfry increased its lead to 41-7 at the 7:07 mark of the fourth with a four yard touchdown run by Carr and an extra point by Vollum. With four minutes remaining Jarrell ran in his second touchdown of the game from nine yards out, but GAHS failed to gain anymore ground and fell 41-19 to Belfry. Wade Jarrell finished with 101 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 20 attempts, while throwing for 143 yards on 16-of27 through the air with a score.

You will start seeing the rewards late summer 2014. You become quite the conversationalist as well. You seem to drop the right phrase at the right moment. If you are single, your appeal is obvious. You might want to date several different people, as you determine who suits you best. If you are attached, the two of you will spend many happy hours together discussing the world, your family or whatever else appeals to you. SAGITTARIUS is fun. 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) You know that you must participate and be willing to work with an associate, yet you have so many other thoughts going on in your mind. You would be well advised to follow through on one of your many ideas later in the day. Tonight: Look to the future for pursuing a goal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do you feel bullied? That feeling is quite possible with today’s chaotic energy. You will choose to be kind and decide to view any issues that arise as a reflection of the present confusion. A partner could want your time. Listen. Tonight: Make time for a favorite person. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dive into a project quickly. You can accomplish a lot — and efficiently at that. You suddenly could be distracted by a fun event later in the day. Feel free to join in! You’ll be able to get past a hassle, as long as you do not brood on it. Tonight: Dream, then make it happen. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to news carefully and reconsider your choices. What feels correct at this juncture might change again. Your creativity might be stifled right now. Be willing to go for what you want, as long as you’re 100 percent sure you want it. Tonight: Take a brisk walk after dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could make an important decision involving real-estate. You will gain confidence as a result, and you’ll also be willing to be less uptight about a domestic matter. Allow more creativity and fun into your life on a regular basis. Tonight: Time for some fun with friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use the daytime hours to pursue an interest, but know that it could involve starting a difficult conversation. The other party might seem closed down, but the recent distance is a reflection of your attitude. A partner will change his or her tune. Tonight: Quiet time at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Work with someone directly, and know that you might have to say “no” to him or her. You could find this person to be difficult to co-exist with. Communication will excel by late afternoon. A partner could surprise you with a reversal. Tonight: Have an important discussion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have the ability to open up a conversation, but it is crucial that you drop your defenses. If you want to discuss a change, you too must be willing to make more of an effort. Your nerves could be fried by an unexpected development. Just handle it. Tonight: Your treat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have the ability to move past a problem. You also see someone more clearly than he or she sees him- or herself. Do not put yourself in the position of having to make a decision. Unexpected developments could force you back to square one. Tonight: Let your hair down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the morning to the max, when you feel as if you could conqueror your immediate domain, if not the world. True to form, you will hit an obstacle or two that will force your hand. By the afternoon, you will need a break. Tonight: Take some muchneeded personal time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The pressure is on, and you’ll deal remarkably well with a sudden change. In fact, you might enjoy it more than others realize. You can be very tenacious when you need to be, especially as others seem to head in a different direction. Tonight: Go with the flow. PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) Use your vision and knowledge when the unexpected occurs. If you keep your wits about you when others get a bit crazy, you not only will make the right choices, but you also will gain favor with a higher-up. Observers will be impressed as well. Tonight: Work late, if need be. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, October 8, 2013 Things county people like, Part 2 Buckeyes still rolling Jim Freeman In the Open Let me explain that there is a distinction between living in the country and being a country person, living in the sticks or being born in the country doesn’t necessarily make one a country person. There are many people who live in the country that really aren’t well-suited for country life. Country to me is a frame of mind, it’s giving more than you take and pulling your own weight, making do or doing without, being independent and self-reliant, and living by an unwritten code of honor. Are country people perfect? Heck no! But for the most part they are good people, even if they have an ornery side. But to continue from two weeks ago, here are more things that country people like: Clothing - Young suburban people prefer North Face apparel. North Face apparel has almost become its own parody with suburbanites who have never left a paved surface wearing clothing marketed towards presenting a sense of adventure and love of the outdoors. I recall seeing a Facebook meme with the caption, “Oh I see you have a North Face jacket; what adventures you must have.” In contrast, country people love Carhartt apparel, you know, that familiar brown, heavy duty denim that never seems to go out of style. It looks and feels rugged, and is. Of course anyone can wear it, but people who live in the boonies don’t have much time for putting on airs; they actually work in their clothes. Similarly, blue jeans (generally Levis or Wranglers, minus the bling) are always in style for country folk, along with work boots, denim or flannel shirts. Look for the Copenhagen ring on the back pocket. Camo – what else do I need to say? Hats – Generally a ball cap with a properly curved bill turned the proper way which keeps the sun and rain off your face, which is on the front of your head, not on the side or in the BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT? back. The exception is if you are riding a dirt bike or ATV in which case the hat may be turned backwards, but NEVER sideways and never with a flat bill. End of discussion. Vehicles – Red staters love their trucks. It used to be that a truck was a poor man’s vehicle, but no more; a fully loaded truck can easily cost around $50,000, more than many well-equipped luxury cars. When it comes to motorcycles, rural folk have several choices of what to ride: Sportster, Dyna, Softtail, Road King… all made by Harley-Davidson. County people love trucks. Dogs love trucks. Ergo, country people love dogs. When it comes to vice, we rural folk prefer drugs containing alcohol or caffeine. During the prohibition era the hollers and hills were the homes of moonshine stills. When it comes to wine there is nothing too fancy – dandelion, elderberry, you name it – if it makes a juice chances are someone makes it into wine. Shopping – In the boonies, people shop at Wal-Mart. I know in some circles it is hip to be anti-Wal-Mart but in the country it is convenient to be able to do most of your shopping in one place that is probably bigger than your entire hometown. To entertain a country man for hours at a time, just turn him loose in Tractor Supply, Rural King or Harbor Freight. In addition, men have been known to travel for hours to visit Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop. It’s a pilgrimage of sorts, like the boondock version of the hajj except the guys have to walk seven times around the giant indoor fish tank. Similarly, folks from the sticks love Myrtle Beach. If you go there will you notice that half the cars are sporting Ohio or West Virginia license plates. Conveniently a Bass Pro Shop is also located there. Country people genuinely love hunting and fishing. Perhaps it hearkens back to our pioneer days when hunting and fishing was necessary and put meat on the table, or it appeals to our sense of self-reliance. Skill in hunting and fishing, and related skills like marksmanship, boat handling or preparing jerky or sausage are greatly admired traits. Ever heard the song “Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr.? That pretty much sums it up. When you get right down to it, what real country people love most is each other, their families and their neighbors, and pride in their communities. They might themselves be critical of their hometown or county, but will always be the first to defend them.

(AP) — Ohio State had its hands full with Northwestern. The Buckeyes did enough to win. The Buckeyes ran the nation’s longest win streak to 18 games, rallying from 10 down in the second half for a 40-30 victory over Northwestern at a wet and loud Ryan Field on Saturday. Whether they helped their national standing is another issue, and that was one receiver Corey Brown really didn’t want to address afterward. “We’re not worried about any of the media stuff,” he said. “We’re just going to play for ourselves and keep winning and do what we do.” The Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0) are unbeaten since Urban Meyer took over as coach last season. They won all 12 games a year ago but were banned from a bowl game because of NCAA sanctions. Now, they’re eyeing a championship. The problem is that their out-of-conference schedule lacks a marquee opponent, and it’s not easy to turn heads playing in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes cleared two of their biggest hurdles by beating Wisconsin and Northwestern the past two weeks and have home games against Iowa and Penn State coming next. They don’t play another team currently ranked until the regular-season finale against Michigan. The Big Ten championship comes a week later, and they could go into the bowl season unbeaten. “You’d sit next to a guy who’s throwing a no-hitter and say hey dude you’ve got a no-hitter going,” Meyer said. “No I’m not even thinking about that. We’re just going to get ready for the stretch run.” The Buckeyes certainly looked like a team that could use some fine-tuning on Saturday, and they might have fallen if not for Carlos Hyde. All he did was run for a career-high 168 yards and three second-half touchdowns to lift Ohio State on a rainy night with a prime-time audience watching. Northwestern, a team trying to show it can beat the Big Ten’s best, looked like it just might do that with a 23-13 lead in the third quarter. Hyde, who was suspended the first three games for an alleged conflict with a woman in a bar this summer, made sure it didn’t happen. He scored on a 4-yard run late in the third and added two more touchdowns in the fourth to put Ohio State up by four. When Kain Colter got stopped on a fourth-and-1 at the Buckeyes’ 34 after recovering his own fumble in the closing minutes, that ended a scoring threat for Northwestern. And the game ended with Joey Bosa recovering a fumble in the end zone after the Wildcats lateralled. So it was enough for the Buckeyes. They’ll need more. They wasted two big opportunities in the first half, settling for field goals after driving inside the 10. There was also a fake punt that resulted in a 2-yard loss, giving Northwestern possession on the Buckeyes’ 30, and led to a field goal late in the second quarter. And there was Miller, not quite playing to the level he did a week earlier. He threw for 203 yards but also had an interception and two fumbles after matching a career-high with four touchdown passes against Wisconsin. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
