Southern administrators present at Capital Conference
Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

COLUMBUS — Three Southern Local administrators were selected to present at the
Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA)
Capital Conference and Trade Show earlier
this week at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus.
Presenting on the topic of the headlining theme — PRIDE: A Student Incentive Program — were Kent Wolfe, grades
4-8 Principal, Tricia McNickle, Pre-K to
Grade 3 Principal, and Scott Wolfe, Federal Programs/Special Education Director
at the Southern Local School District.
The group was chosen based on the recent success of the Southern Elementary
School, which has remained highly rated
as either “Effective” or “Excellent” over the
past five years of the program. Each of the
Southern participants stressed that it has
been a team effort of community, parents,
students, and teachers buying into and
working hard at establishing change and

implementing new programs at Southern.
The Capital Conference features nationally acclaimed speakers headlining the
General Sessions, Early Bird Workshop,
luncheons and other events. Breakout sessions and informational seminars examine
creative solutions and proactive approaches to a broad spectrum of public educational challenges. Southern Local has exhibited
techniques that are among those proactive
approaches advocated by the OSBA.
Other Capital Conference highlights
include the Student Achievement Fair,
boasting 100 booths displaying innovative
student programs, as well as top student
entertainment groups from each of OSBA
s five regions; the Trade Show, offering
more than 650 exhibits of the latest in
education-related goods and services; and
countless opportunities to share ideas
with school leaders from across Ohio.
Also attending the conference were
Southern Superintendent Tony Deem,

POMEROY — The renovation of
the Farmers Bank building on West
Second Street in downtown Pomeroy into Corporate Headquarters has
been completed.
The location at 211 West Second Street
previously housed Pomeroy’s Retail
Branch along with the corporate offices.
However, as the bank expanded and
grew over the years, Paul Reed, president and CEO of Farmers Bank, said it
became apparent that additional space
was needed to accommodate employees
and for expanding drive-thru facilities.
The decision was made to build a
new Farmers Bank building on East
Main Street and then to renovate the

GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man accused
of shooting and severely
wounding a man Wednesday evening in the Cherry
Ridge area of Rio Grande,
posted bond for his release
on Friday afternoon following a hearing before
Gallipolis Municipal Court
Judge Margaret Evans.
Michael Merry, 49,
Thurman, was present in
the municipal court with
his attorney Jeff Finley
Friday afternoon and was
charged with one count of
felonious assault, a second
degree felony, after he allegedly knowingly caused
or attempted to cause
physical harm to David
Michael Canter by means
of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordinance — a 12
gauge Remington shotgun
— on November 13.
The defendant was reportedly arrested by Gallia
County Sheriff’s deputies
who responded to the 2,000
series of Cherry Ridge
Road in Raccoon Township
at approximately 9:45 p.m.
on Wednesday evening after he had allegedly shot the
26-year-old victim.
Charges filed with the

court on Friday in this case
and signed by Gallia County
Sheriff Browning state that
911 dispatchers received
a call from a third party on
Wednesday evening who
stated that someone had
been beating on his door
asking for help. This individual did not open his door
as a precaution until law enforcement arrived, but it was
presumed that the person
knocking on the door had
been Canter, who had made
his way to the residence and
was subsequently found by
deputies in the driveway of
the home.
The victim, who was
reportedly in severe pain,
had one gunshot wound to
his torso and was flown to
a trauma center.
The defendant was later
questioned by deputies,
and, according to the complaint, “admitted to shooting several shots toward
the victim to scare him and
struck the victim in the
torso area.”
Further details surrounding the shooting have not
been released by authorities at this time.
Merry’s bond was set
at $75,000, 10 percent, by
Judge Evans during Friday’s hearing. A prelimiSee MERRY | A2

ATHENS — An historical marker was recently dedicated at the Athens County Fairgrounds that commemorates the location where, 150 years ago, Milton Holland
raised Company C of the 5th United States Colored Infantry regiment. The ceremony took place this Veterans Day,
Nov. 11, 2013.
The keynote speaker for the dedication was Bennie
McRae of Trotwood, Ohio — a nationally known expert
on African American military history. The emcee was
Douglas McCabe of the Ohio University Archives who
has done extensive research on Milton Holland. Also during the ceremony, Brian Schoen, associate professor of
history at Ohio University, read a proclamation issued by
the governor and mad brief remarks. Ada Adams, a local
African American historian, also spoke.
A highlight of the dedication ceremony was the presence of African American re-enactors, who portrayed
the 5th United States Colored Infantry, as well as local
reenactors from Townsend Camp 108 and Cadot-Blessing
Camp 126 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
Anthony Gibbs of Canal Winchester reenacted Holland.
Clark Morgan of Toledo reenacted John Mercer Langston, a civilian who was instrumental in helping Holland
with his organizational efforts. Langston was later the

and Southern School Board
members Denny Hill, president;
Denny Evans, Peggy Gibbs and
Paul Harris.
Kim Halley, Director of Elementary Education at Hilliard
City Schools, was the moderator for the Southern session.
Halley introduced the Southern
presenters and moderated questions for the trio from the many
participants in the audience.
Kent Wolfe began the presentation, highlighting school district demographics and outlining where the school had been
academically six years ago to
where it has performed over the
past five years.
Wolfe noted, “Our incentive
program is just a part of our success. We have incorporated the
incentive program into many other strategies that we have taken
to our staff, and that the staff has
embraced to make our students
better prepared for the future.”
Scott Wolfe commented on
Southern’s transition to a “full
inclusion” type classroom in the
K-8 grades, and how that had
helped students with special
needs increase test scores and
grow academically.
“We have incentive programs
within the Special Education
department that are within the
PRIDE schoolwide incentives.”

Scott Wolfe noted. “Students like
to compete and we try to give
them something to shoot for.”
The Special Education Director added, “One of the main
positives over the past three
years has been our teachers’
growth and our teachers’ ability
to Co-teach at a highly effective
level. Co-Teaching is one of our
strengths, and I praise our staff
for doing a great job. With the
coming of the new State Report
Card, we are going to have to
raise the bar again for both our
teachers and our students.”
Kent Wolfe then broke down
the many incentives that the
school has incorporated. Wolfe
noted, “We have done everything from ‘sleep-on-the-roof’
to ‘kissing a pig’ to taking our
students on field trips to reward
them for a great effort. Our kids
are really competitive and they
respond to the incentives. Everyone wants to win.”
Southern has regularly rewarded students with trips to
Kings Island, Cincinnati Reds
games, trips to Camden Park,
and trips to Zoombezi Bay
Water Park among many other
reward trips. These trips were
widely made possible through
efforts from the Southern PTO,
area businesses and other fundraising efforts.
After Wolfe broke down all
the various student incentives

from class/grade level incentives
to individual incentives, from
District to classroom incentives,
Math Coach and now K-3 Principal Tricia McNickle spoke about
the Math Coaching Program.
McNickle noted that Southern
began the Math Coaching Program seven years ago and that
from that time Southern math
scores had raised from percentages in the “teens” to over 80
percent at some class levels.
“The very first year, some
teachers sat their text books
aside. We began a different way
of teaching and took a different
approach to teaching math,”
McNickle said. “The next
year—when textbooks were up
for adoption— we purchased
books (Everyday Math) that fit
the Math Coaching philosophy.”
“Each year we saw the student scores rise significantly.
The coaching philosophy is
based on building critical thinking skills rather than just memorizing facts. It took some huge
adjustments from everyone at
first, but our students are now
working math problems in a
more effective way,” she added.
McNickle has since become
a statewide Math Coach and is
now in charge of 22 school districts with math coaching programs in the southeast district.
The Mathematics Coaching Program (MCP) is currently work-

ing with over 60 schools across
Ohio, most of which are mathematically low-performing urban
and rural schools and is funded
from multiple sources with additional sources pending.
The initial and primary
funder is the Ohio Department
of Education. ODE funding is
awarded with the understanding that the MCP will follow
research-based guidelines for
effective professional development and instruction and base
program content and instruction on state and national mathematics standards.
The MCP, centered at The
Ohio State University, is a professional development intervention
implemented on-site in schools.
The program pursues multiple
objectives in those schools
including improving student
achievement and strengthening
teacher and coach mathematics
content knowledge.
Keynote presenters at the
2013 Capital Conference included Ohio native Wil Haygood, a prize-winning Washington Post staff writer; whose
article was the inspiration for
the Movie “Lee Daniels, the
Butler”; Dr. Yon Zhao, nationally known author; and John
Ratzenberger, Emmy-nominated actor, who is best known
for playing the character Cliff
Clavin on the sitcom “Cheers”.

In July 2012 Farmers Bank moved

While the building was being renovated, seven different bank departments
worked in the Community Room
above the retail location.
All of those departments have now
moved into their new home in the former Farmers Bank building which inside and out has taken on a completely
new look in design and furnishings. The
renovation of the building was done by
Karr Contracting.

management and support for all five of
the bank locations. It will also house a
business branch that will handle enhanced commercial business offerings.
Those offerings, according to Reed, will
roll-out with the opening of the branch
which will take place once regulators
approve the space.
He announced plans for an evening
open house to celebrate the opening
of Corporate Headquarters and also
to commemorate 109 years of Farmers Bank continued growth, noting
that it will be held during downtown
Pomeroy Christmas events, the date
to be announced.
Commenting on the Corporate Headquarters renovation, Reed said “Farmers Bank is happy to make the investment in Meigs County and our future,”
and added that, “the bank is already
seeing a return with higher employee
efficiency and with their happiness.”

�&amp;�îAC@A@D6DîC65F4:?8î3:@7F6=î&gt;2?52E6
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Obama administration on Friday
proposed to reduce the amount of
ethanol in the nation’s fuel supply
for the first time, acknowledging
that the biofuel law championed by
both parties in 2007 is not working
as well as expected.
While the proposal highlights the
government’s struggle to ramp up
production of homegrown biofuels
that are cleaner-burning than gasoline, but is unlikely to mean much for
consumers at the pump.
The change would require almost 3
billion gallons less ethanol and other
biofuels to be blended into gasoline
in 2014 than the law requires.
The 2007 law tried to address
global warming by requiring oil
companies to blend billions of gallons of biofuels into their gasoline
each year. But politicians who
wrote the law didn’t anticipate fuel
economy to improve as much as it
has in recent years, which reduced
demand for gasoline.
Meanwhile, next-generation bio-

fuels, made from agricultural waste
such as wood chips and corncobs,
have not taken off as quickly as
Congress required and the administration expected.
President Barack Obama has
championed biofuels since his days
as an Illinois senator, and his administration has resisted previous
calls to lower biofuel volumes or
repeal the law.
EPA officials said they were still
committed to alternative fuels as
part of a comprehensive energy strategy. If the EPA stuck to the volumes
mandated by law, the amount of biofuel required would generate more
ethanol than many engines can safely
handle, officials said.
“Biofuels are a key part of the
Obama administration’s ‘all of the
above’ energy strategy, helping to
reduce our dependence on foreign
oil, cut carbon pollution and create jobs,” said EPA Administrator
Gina McCarthy.
Biofuel supporters, however, said
the proposal marked a departure for

the Obama administration.
“This is the first time that the
Obama administration has shown
any sign of wavering,” said Brooke
Coleman, executive director of the
Advanced Ethanol Council.
Bob Dinneen, the head of the Renewable Fuels Association, the Washington group that lobbies on behalf of
the ethanol industry, said the proposal “cannot stand.”
“An administration committed
to addressing climate change cannot turn its back on biofuels,” Dinneen said.
The ethanol mandate created an
unusual alliance between oil companies, which have seen ethanol cut
into their share of the gasoline market, and environmental groups that
oppose planting more corn for fuel.
A recent AP investigation found that
corn-based ethanol’s effect on the environment is far worse than the government predicted or admits.
The oil industry lobbied hard for a
reduction.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— Crooks beware! Batkid
is fighting crime Friday
on the mean streets of San
Francisco.
With the help of the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation and the city, 5-yearold Miles Scott, aka Batkid, took off from Union
Square in the morning in
one of two Batmobiles —
black Lamborghinis with
Batman decals. Police
escorted the Lamborghinis and closed off roads
as they sped to their first
caper: a damsel in distress
on a cable car track.
By midday, the Batkid’s
adventure had become a
sensation on Twitter, with
even the White House
chiming in with its support.
At the cable car rescue, hundreds of people
jostled for space, as the
boy dressed in a Batman
costume and accompanied
by an adult Batman impersonator emerged from the
Lamborghini to rescue a
woman. Miles is a leukemia patient who’s now in
remission.
He looked overwhelmed
and was bashful, though
he was seen later in the
day giving high-fives to
onlookers. The damsel sat
on the street in a dress and
thigh-high black boots.
She had a handkerchief

around her mouth and her
hands were bound behind
her back. Batman and
Batkid sprang into action,
with the aid of a trampoline, as the crowd roared.
They
rescued
the
woman and disabled a
plastic replica bomb she
was tied to.
The two masked superheroes then took off to nab
the Riddler as he robbed a
downtown bank.
A flash mob will summon Batkid later in the
day for another crime
— the diabolical kidnapping of the San Francisco
Giants mascot — Lou
Seal — by the Penguin.
A grateful Mayor Ed Lee
will give Miles a key to
the city after the crooks
are corralled.
“When you have an illness, it’s very important to
know you have a support
system,” said Gina Futrell,
51, who was going to take
part in the flash mob.
Futrell has multiple sclerosis. “I have an extremely
strong support system,
and I hope he does too.
He’s such a little hero.”
Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far Northern
California, didn’t know
what was in store for him
and thought he was in
San Francisco just to get
a Batman costume so he

could dress like his favorite superhero, KGO-TV
reported.
He was diagnosed with
leukemia when he was
18 months old and ended
treatments in June.
His father, Nick Scott,
thanked the Greater Bay
Area Make-A-Wish Foundation and the estimated
7,000 people who will
help make his son’s wish
come true.
“All the doctors, nurses
and all the other parents
that have to deal with the
same thing we’re going
through. I hope they get a
conclusion to their illnesses like we’re getting,” Nick
Scott told KGO-TV.
Make-A-Wish has fulfilled similar wishes across
the country. In Anaheim,
a child became Batman’s
sidekick, Robin; and in
Seattle a child was a secret
agent, said Jen Wilson, a
spokeswoman for the local
organization.
The San Francisco
Chronicle, KGO-TV and
thousands of volunteers
were participating in the
event. Miles was supposed
to see a broadcast in the
morning with Police Chief
Greg Suhr calling for his
help.
The Chronicle planned
to distribute special-edition newspapers with the

headline, “Batkid Saves
City,” in Union Square,
where the flash mob was
set to gather.
“This has turned into a
full blown phenomenon,”
Suhr said Thursday.

gion is clear in his professional,
community, and personal work.
We look forward to celebrating
him on December 6th.”
A welcome reception will begin at 11:30 a.m., with the main
program and luncheon at noon.
Individuals wishing to attend the
luncheon can find more information on the event or purchase
tickets by visiting the Foundation’s website at www.appalachianohio.org.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brushing aside a White House
veto threat, the Republican-controlled House voted by a
healthy bipartisan majority Friday to weaken a core component of “Obamacare” and permit the sale of individual health
coverage that falls short of requirements in the law.
In all, 39 Democrats broke ranks and supported the legislation, a total that underscored the growing importance of
the issue in the weeks since millions of cancellation notices
went out to consumers covered by plans deemed inadequate
under government rules.
The final vote was 261-157 as lawmakers clashed over an
issue likely to be at the heart of next year’s midterm elections. The measure faces an uncertain fate in the Senate,
where Democrats seeking re-election in 2014 are leading a
move for generally similar legislation.
“For the last six weeks the White House stood idly by ignoring the pleas of millions,” said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich.,
chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee
and lead sponsor of the legislation.
“Our straightforward, one-page bill says, if you like your
current coverage, you should be able to keep it. The president should heed his own advice and work with us, the Congress, as the founders intended, not around the legislative
process.”
But Democrats said the measure was just another in a
long line of attacks on the health care bill from Republicans
who have voted repeatedly to repeal it.
“It would take away the core protections of that law. It
creates an entire shadow market of substandard health care
plans,” said Rep. Henry Waxman of California.
The vote came shortly before President Barack Obama
welcomed insurance company CEOs to a White House
meeting, and one day after he announced a shift toward
making good on his oft-repeated promise that anyone liking
his pre-Obamacare coverage would be able to keep it.
In brief opening remarks, he did not refer to the House vote,
and showed no give in his commitment to the program known
by his name. “Because of choice and competition, a whole lot
of Americans who have always seen health insurance out of
reach are going to be in a position to purchase it,” he said.
The events capped a remarkable series of politically inspired maneuvers in recent days. The president and lawmakers in both parties have sought to position themselves as
allies of consumers who are receiving cancellation notices
— yet have made no move to cooperate on legislation that
could accomplish that.
Neither Obama’s new policy nor the bill passed in the
House would ensure that anyone whose policy is canceled
will be able to keep it. Instead, both would permit insurance
companies to sell coverage renewals if they wish — subject
to approval by state insurance commissioners.
The White House meeting came as the industry and state
commissioners began adjusting to the president’s one-dayold change in policy.
Under the shift, Obama said insurers should be permitted
to continue to sell to existing customers individual coverage
plans that would be deemed substandard under the health
care law. Without the change, many existing plans would
have been banned beginning next year, and the president’s
announcement was an attempt to quell a public and political
furor triggered by millions of cancellation notices.
The House measure went one step further. It would give
insurance firms the ability to sell individual plans to new as
well as existing customers, even if the coverage falls short of
the law’s requirements.
Democrats sought to substitute a plan of their own that
consisted largely of Obama’s new policy, but failed on a party-line vote.
Even so, the combination of the president’s announcement and his party’s alternative apparently siphoned off a
large number of Democratic votes from the GOP measure.
In a veto threat Thursday night, the White House accused
Republicans of seeking to “sabotage the health care law,”
and said their measure would allow “insurers to continue
to sell new plans that deploy practices such as not offering
coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, charging
women more than men, and continuing yearly caps on the
amount of care that enrollees receive.” A veto would come
into play only if both houses approve legislation and send it
to the White House for the president’s signature.
Political calculations were evident as Obamacare produced yet more controversy.

OPINION

Andrea’s legacy
Aimee Wilson

#:/-3+6�&gt;9��3@3&gt;+=��/.3+

How do I begin the story of Andrea Bailes? That’s the question I
have wrestled with for weeks. Every
time I sit down to write about her, I
see the smiling face of a girl all too
eager to speak; a girl whose mission
in life was to spread laughter and
joy to everyone she met. Though
she is gone from this earth, she is
still spreading joy and awareness
through the legacy of her life.
Andrea had a heart for serving others. She was always ready to help anyone in need. She cared about the happiness of those around her and looked
for opportunities to make a difference
in the lives of her family, friends, and
even strangers. She had wanted to
grow up to be a nurse or a veterinarian because she also had a great love
for animals. Though some may find it
unusual to share ice cream with a dog,
Andrea found it quite normal and that
was just one of the ways she treated the
ones she loved so dear.
Though Andrea had no way of
knowing that her time on Earth
would be cut short, she lived her life
as if she was soaking up every last
moment and trying not to waste what
she was given. Her birthday (July 29)
was not just a piece of cake and some
candles. It was a huge party extravaganza planned by Andrea herself and
it would last an entire week so as not
to leave out anyone that was willing
to commemorate another year on this
planet with her. The parties were not
about Andrea being the center of attention. For her, it was about finding
an excuse to make memories with the
special people in her life.
I asked her mother, Deana Nibert
Spaulding of Point Pleasant, to tell
me about the car crash that took her
life. She briefly told me that on November 18, 2011, Andrea and her best
friend, Sami Sheets, went to the movies escorted by her friend’s father, Paul
Sheets. On the way home, Paul’s car
was struck head on by a drunk driver.
The impact caused major injuries to
Sami and Paul. Unfortunately, it took
Andrea’s life.
“But,” added her mother, “I really
want to tell you about the days leading
up to it.”
Andrea was a talented gymnast and
spent many hours practicing for competitions. The Saturday before the crash,
Andrea’s mother, Deana, was scheduled to help with a birthday party at
the gym where Andrea practiced. After
the party, Andrea begged her mother
to allow her friends to come over while
Deana cleaned up from the festivities.
Andrea was supposed to have gone to
the movies that day, but the plans fell

The late Andrea Bailes and great-grandfather John Zimmerman.

through for her. Instead, seven little
girls jumped, laughed, danced and had
the time of their lives that evening.
On Wednesday, Andrea made another
request to her mother. This one was
quite unusual. She asked to stay home
from practice that evening because
she was exhausted. This was odd due
to the fact that Andrea rarely missed
practices and attended them five days
a week. Her mother agreed. However,
she didn’t rest. Instead, Andrea made
a visit to her great-grandparents and
spent the evening beside her papaw’s
bed. Upon leaving, she made a point
to kiss her great-grandmother goodbye and tell her that she loved her and
insisted that she, “Tell papaw I love
him too.” Thursday came and Andrea
made one final request to her mother.
She asked her mom if she could give
one of the leotards she had outgrown
to her “twin”. She was referring to an
eight year old teammate named Taylor
that was similar in every way to Andrea. Though this was Deana’s favorite
leotard and she wanted to keep it to
remember Andrea’s years in gymnastics, she gave in and allowed her to gift
it to Taylor. That evening as Andrea
proudly handed her little friend the leotard, she said, “I am giving you wings”
and pointed to the angel’s wings that
graced the back of the shiny white
bodysuit. I can’t imagine how priceless
that simple piece of clothing must be to
her special friend today.
After the crash Deana tried to
make sense of what happened to her
daughter. She knew that the man that
hit them was drunk. She knew that he
had also died in the crash. What she
didn’t know until much later was that
he had nine DUI offenses on his record. The questions flew at her fast.
Why was he allowed to continue this
behavior? Why wasn’t he in jail? How
was she supposed to live with what
he did to her daughter? Researching
West Virginia’s DUI laws, she could
find no provisions that would have
prevented this from happening. She

took the initiative and began emailing politicians that she felt might
give her some kind of assistance in
understanding this tragedy. Though
many responded quickly with their
sympathy, no one had answers except Delegate Brian Savilla. Delegate
Savilla expressed his sincere apologies for what happened and told her
that he had been working on a bill to
address this issue. “Andrea’s Law”
aimed to enforce stricter laws for repeat DUI offenders, was introduced
in the 2012 session. Unfortunately, it
didn’t receive enough votes for passage. However, Delegate Jim Butler
took on the task of reintroducing this
bill during the 2013 session.
Upon speaking with Deana, I can
tell you that the community’s loving
response to her family has helped tremendously in dealing with the loss of
Andrea. Volunteering time at assemblies against drinking and driving,
praying for her and her sons, sharing
stories about Andrea and spreading
the word about “Andrea’s Law” have all
been ways in which they have helped.
Their continuing support is amazing
and she appreciates everything that
has been done.
If you would like to help also, there
are upcoming events that you can
choose to assist or attend to show your
support. At 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 16-17,
the first “Andrea Bailes Gymnastics Invitational” will be held in Athens, Ohio
at the community center and hosted
by Andrea’s gym, Southern Ohio Gymnastics Academy. There are about 250
gymnasts expected to compete and
is a great number for the first year of
this meet. In December of 2013, the
Second Annual “Andrea Bailes Indoor
Tournament” will take place. West
Virginia teams from Ripley and Point
Pleasant and Ohio teams from Gallipolis and Athens are expected. Both of
these events will have booths displayed
to inform others about the dangers of
drinking and driving. Also, Andrea’s
law still needs support. Write your
representatives, make phone calls, and
talk to others about this bill. You can
visit this link to check out the status of
this bill: http://www.legis.state.wv.us/

3&amp;sessiontype=rs&amp;btype=bill
In 2016 which was Andrea’s anticipated graduation year, the “Andrea
Bailes Honorary Scholarship” will be
given out to one of her classmates. It’s
expected to be a bittersweet moment
for everyone involved. It is my sincere
hope that the person that receives the
scholarship understands what a special girl Andrea was. Her shine never
stopped the day she passed from this
Earth. It just got brighter.

Reader: Abortion is not health care
Dear Editor,
In its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the U.S. Supreme Court
invented a hitherto unrecognized “constitutional” right to
have an abortion. With Roe’s companion decision, Doe v.
Bolton, The Supreme Court also provided the legal basis for
establishing the abortion industry by striking down requirements to perform abortions in hospital settings.
Thus, the stage was set for the establishment of a nation-wide
network of “clinics” for the performance of abortion on demand
for any reason. In these centers, women burdened with a crisis
pregnancy, are given cursory information by the staff, prepped
for the abortion, and typically meet the abortionist, for the first
and last time, on the surgery table — so much for having an
abortion “in consultation with this your doctor.”
Women, who have any complications following an abortion
in these “clinics”, almost always end up in other, reputable
medical facilities in the community for any additional care.
“Clinics” that are unwilling or incapable of providing followup care to the women injured in their facilities can hardly be
considered “practicing medicine” in the usual sense.
In West Virginia, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has
pointed out that West Virginia’s abortion facilities are “neither
licensed nor regulated by the state,” and he has called for comments on this situation. The Vice Chairman of the Obstetrics
and Gynecology Department of West Virginia University School
of Medicine’s Charleston Division, Dr. Byron Calhoun, wrote to
Attorney General Morrisey describing his concerns about the
care women are receiving at Charleston abortion facilities.
“We commonly (I personally probably at least weekly) see
patients at Women and Children’s Hospital with complications from abortions at these centers in Charleston: so much
for ‘safe and legal.’ These patients are told to come to our hospital because the abortion clinic providers do not have hospital privileges to care for their patients, so we must treat them
as emergency ‘drop-ins.’ No other medical providers are allowed to care for patients, have no backup coverage, and then
abandon them to the emergency rooms. We would be held ethically and legally liable. The fantasy of women’s reproductive
health care seems to allow these individuals who perform the
abortions some special dispensation to provide substandard
care. Veterinarian clinics and tattoo parlors must comply
with more regulations and inspection than an abortion clinic
where lives are ended. This is substandard care for women
and needs to end.” (The Charleston Gazette, 9/2/2013).
Abortion is not health care. It doesn’t cure; it kills innocent
children — 55 million since 1973 in this country alone. And
it certainly should not be funded by West Virginia tax dollars through Medicare or under the new Affordable Care Act
(ObamaCare) in the health care exchange.

Official: Police officer
said TSA victim was dead
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An airport security officer lay
helplessly bleeding after a gunman opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport as paramedics waited 150 yards
away because police had not declared the terminal safe to
enter, according to two law enforcement officials.
It would be 33 minutes before Transportation Security
Administration Officer Gerardo Hernandez, who was about
20 feet from an exit, would be wheeled out by airport police
to an ambulance, said the officials, who were briefed on the
investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity because
the probe was still ongoing into the Nov. 1 shooting.
For all but five of those minutes, there was no threat
from the suspected gunman — he had been shot and was
in custody, they said.
While it’s not known when Hernandez died or if immediate medical attention could have saved his life, officials
are examining what conversations took place between police and fire commanders to determine when it was safe
enough to enter and whether paramedics could have gone
into the terminal earlier, one of the officials said.
The head of the TSA union on Friday said he was appalled at the news. American Federation of Government
Employees president J. David Cox Sr. called the situation
“very concerning” and said there should be a serious reexamination of TSA security policies.
Formal conclusions could take months, but what’s
known raises the possibility that a lack of coordination between police and fire officials prevented speedy treatment
for Hernandez and other victims.
TSA workers at LAX have been wondering the same
thing, said Victor Payes, who works at the airport and is
president of the local union.
“I basically think there’s a lack of coordination between
entities at this airport. That lack of coordination may have
led to something that shouldn’t have happened,” Payes
said. “We may be talking about Officer Hernandez as a
survivor.”
Marshall McClain, president of the Los Angeles Airport
Peace Officers Association, agreed that the incident highlights a failure in coordination and a power struggle between policing agencies. He said there were four command
posts set up during the incident and no sense of who had
command once the LAPD rolled in.
Representatives of the Los Angeles Police Department,
Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Airport Police said they couldn’t comment on the ongoing investigation until extensive reports are finished.
Authorities say that Paul Ciancia entered Terminal 3
with a duffel bag, pulled out an assault rifle and started
shooting. They said he had a note in his bag that said he
wanted to “kill TSA” and that he wanted to stir fear in
them, criticizing their searches as unconstitutional.
He was shot by airport police officers four times, in the
mouth and leg, before being taken into custody. He remains in fair condition at a hospital and his doctors will
determine when he’s fit to appear in court.
In the chaotic moments after the gunfire began, as travelers dove to the ground or scrambled for cover in restaurants and stores, officials worried there could be bombs in
the terminal and tried to determine whether the gunman
had any accomplices. In the first 30 minutes, there was also
an unfounded report of two suspicious people on an adjacent parking garage roof, one of the officials said.

Rubio seeks to reconnect with the right
MIAMI (AP) — Stung by
conservative backlash earlier this year, Marco Rubio
has spent months seemingly
trying to convince skeptical
fellow Republicans that he’s
more than just the Florida
senator who championed
comprehensive immigration
reform.
He joined the drive to
defund President Barack
Obama’s health care law,
though his voice grew softer
as the resulting government
shutdown and his party sank
in polls. He then turned to
championing social issues
like legislative prayer.
On Saturday, Rubio will
deliver the keynote address
at a fundraiser for the Florida Family Policy Council, an
evangelical group that led
the successful 2008 effort
to ban gay marriage in the
state. And next week, the
potential presidential candidate plans to deliver what
aides described as a major
foreign policy speech at the
conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Taken together, Republicans say the actions suggest two things: that Rubio
is trying to reconnect with
activists still smarting over
his support for an immigration overhaul that included
a path to citizenship for
millions of immigrants living here illegally, and that
he’s trying to find an issue
that resonates with conservatives, in the way Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz is linked to
fighting “Obamacare” and
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
to criticizing the president’s
use of drone strikes.
That’s important if Rubio wants to stand out in a
potentially crowded GOP
presidential field, where he
is generally viewed as less
strident than Cruz and former Sen. Rick Santorum but
more conservative than New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Rubio’s advisers say the senator long has emphasized
his conservative positions
and would benefit from the
fact that, unlike others, he’s
able to talk about them in
a way that doesn’t turn off
voters from other parts of
the political spectrum.
“There is still a space
in the Republican primary
field for someone to emerge
as the conservative alternative to Christie,” said Scott
Reed, a Republican who ran
Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign.
“Rubio’s at the front of the
line, if he chooses to run.”
To do so successfully, Rubio would need to rekindle
the conservative fire among
the tea party voters who elevated an obscure state legislator into a national sensation — and who are poised
to help christen the next
GOP standard-bearer. Right
now, Rubio is so closely associated with the stalled
immigration bill that at a
conference of conservatives
this summer he was heckled
with cries of “No amnesty!”
These days, he rarely
mentions immigration. And
after months of arguing for
the passage of the comprehensive bill he helped write,
Rubio says he now favors
the piecemeal approach of
House leaders, who have
focused primarily on border
security and enforcement.
He has said he’s being “realistic” about the prospects
of far-reaching changes in
the Republican-dominated
lower chamber.
Meanwhile, Rubio has
used his perch on the Senate

foreign relations and intelligence committees to push
for stiffer sanctions on Iran
and greater accountability
on foreign aid.
He’s also emphasizing his
right-leaning positions on
social issues, which aides
say is simply a reflection of
the Florida senator’s conservative passions; he is a devout Catholic who wears a
bracelet highlighting his opposition to abortion rights.
“Sen. Rubio is a committed movement conservative
who is active on almost every front in the fight for the
values that make America
great,” said spokesman Alex
Conant. “The values and
principles he’s fighting for
right now are the same ones
he’s been fighting for as long
as he’s been in public office.”
Last month, Rubio won
standing ovations from activists at the Values Voter
Summit in Washington
when he affirmed his Christian faith and denounced
what he called a “rising tide
of intolerance” toward social

conservatives.
“I’ve also been lectured,
as many of you have, about
how we need to stop talking about social issues if
we want to win elections,”
Rubio told the crowd. “But
if we’re serious about saving the American dream,
we can’t stop talking about
these issues. …The moral
well-being of our people is
directly linked to their economic well-being.”
As the Supreme Court
considered a case about the
constitutionality of prayer in
government meetings, Rubio wrote op-eds for Christian and conservative media
outlets defending the role of
public religious expression.
In interviews, Rubio backed
the town of Greece, N.Y.,
which sought to overturn
an appeals court ruling that
barred the Rochester suburb
from beginning its council
meetings with mostly Christian prayers.
This month, he opposed
Senate legislation that would
prohibit workplace discrimi-

nation against gay, bisexual
and transgender Americans.
In a statement, his office said
Rubio was concerned the bill
could result in “frivolous lawsuits” for small businesses
and wanted to ensure that
“religious freedoms under
the First Amendment are
protected.” Last week, he cosponsored a bill that would
ban abortion after 20 weeks
of pregnancy.
Some of the actions have
drawn criticism.
In recent months, Rubio
quietly withdrew his support for the nomination of
a Miami judge who would
have been the first openly
gay black man on the federal
bench. Although he initially
backed William Thomas for
a seat on the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida last year, a
spokeswoman said further
review raised concerns
about the judge’s “judicial
temperament and his willingness to impose appropriate criminal sentences” in
two cases.

Browns recover
lost championship
trophy from 1946
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Back in the day, the Cleveland
Browns ruled pro football.
And, finally, they have a trophy to prove it.
The team has recovered a lost championship trophy
from 1946, when the Browns won the first of four consecutive All-American Football Conference titles.
The handsome 3-foot-tall trophy, engraved with the
names of six Hall of Fame players as well as renowned
coach Paul Brown, was one of two awarded to the team
after the Browns won their first title in the defunct AAFC,
four years before they joined the NFL. It was found in a
box in the garage of the grandson of one of the team’s
former minority owners in Raleigh, N.C. A member of the
team’s staff retrieved the trophy this week and showed it
off while wearing white gloves on Friday.
Because the NFL didn’t award permanent trophies until 1966 — two years after Cleveland won its last title —
the 1946 trophies are the only ones believed to exist for
the team’s eight championships.
Alumni relations manager Tony Dick said it’s nice to
have some hardware inside the team’s facility.
“To me, it’s pretty special that we have something that
says we won a championship,” he said.
In 1946, the Browns beat the New York Yankees — not
the ones wearing pinstripes — to win the AAFC title.
They won again in ‘47, ‘48 and ‘49 and captured an NFL
title in their first year in the league in 1950.
The Browns have asked the Pro Football Hall of Fame
in Canton, Ohio, to help them clean the trophy and for
ideas on where it should be permanently displayed.

Eastern standout Jordan
Parker signed her national letter of intent Thursday to continue her basketball career at
Alderson Broaddus in Philippi
West Virginia.
“This is something I’ll never
forget,” said EHS senior Jordan
Parker. “Most people will never
get to do this so I take pride in it.”
Jordan has earned varsity letters in basketball and volleyball
three years, track and field two
years and softball one year. Parker averaged 12.5 points and 4.6
rebounds a game for the state
semifinalists Lady Eagles last
season. Parker scored 18 points
against Berlin Hiland in the Division IV state semifinal loss and
has been a two-time All-Ohio
honorable mention selection.
On the volleyball court Parker

helped the 2011 Lady Eagles to
the D-IV state semifinal, where
she had five kills against Tuscarawas Central Catholic. She
has been named to the district
13 volleyball first team twice in
her career. Parker was also a part
of two relay teams on the EHS
track and field team that competed at regionals last season.
“It’s exciting and nerve racking at the same time because you
don’t really know what’s going to
happen but you’re moving on and
ready for it,” Parker said. “Alderson Broaddus felt like home
because it’s out in the middle of
nowhere but there’s a town 20
minutes from there. It’s realll just
like home out in the country.”
Jordan is currently undecided
on what she will major in at
ABU. The Battlers are a member

of the Greater Midwest Athletic
Conference (G-MAC) in NCAA
Division II. Alderson Broaddus’
womens basketball team ended a
14 year postseason drought last
year and advanced to the second
round of the WVIAC tournament
in Charleston ninth year head
coach Josh Allen.
One thing is for sure, winning
has followed Parker throughout
her career as a Lady Eagle. Jordan has been a key part of two
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division Volleyball championships, two TVC Hocking basketball co-championships, two TVC
track and field championships
and one TVC Hocking softball
co-championship.

CENTENARY, Ohio —
From Blue Devil to RedHawk.
Gallia Academy right
handed pitching standout
Gustin Graham signed his
national letter of intent Friday at GAHS to farther his
baseball career with Miami
University.
“Miami has a beautiful
campus,” said GAHS senior Gus Graham. “God
directed me where he
wanted me to go and it
was really an easy decision
when it came down to it.”
Graham will join a RedHawks quad that was 26-30
last season with a 14-13
Mid-American Conference
record. Miami’s last MAC
championship was 2005,
which is also the last time it
competed in the NCAA tournament. Miami has three
MAC championships and
three NCAA appearances alltime (1983, 2000, 2005).
“He’s a solid guy and a well
rounded kid, a yes sir, no sir,
kind of guy that’s going to do
what you want him to do,”
said 10th year GAHS head
coach Rich Corvin. “I think
he’s a good example that if
you do it and do it the right
way then this is the kind of
stuff you get rewarded with.”
Graham has played two
varsity seasons with the Blue
and White and improved all
across the board.
“Coach Corvin has done
an absolutely great job with
me,” Graham said. “He’s
pushed me to be my best and
the atmosphere to get better
has always been here.”
In Gus’ sophomore year
he batted .311 with 19
runs batted in and 16 runs
scored. He went 0-1 on the
mound that season with a

Gallia Academy’s Gus Graham swings at a pitch during the
Blue Devils 2013 baseball season in Centenary.

7.88 earned run average for
the 22-7 Blue Devils.
Graham improved to a
.385 batting average his junior year with 28 RBI and
20 runs scored. In his junior
campaign Gus went 8-0 with
a 1.36 ERA in 46 innings
with 73 strikeouts on the
mound. Graham earned AllDistrict first team and AllSEOAL honors that season.
“Last year Gus really
shocked us at the plate, he
hit .385 and had probably
the best arm in our outfield,”
Corvin said. “He came back
from a year where he hadn’t
really been on the mound for
us to go 8-0.”
Perhaps the biggest of Graham’s eight victories came in
the Division II district semifinal when he earned the win
on the mound against Fairfield Union. Gus struck out
seven and allowed just two
earned runs and three hits in
that victory.
Graham is the 11th player

under head coach Rich Corvin to sign to play at the next
level, joining Caleb Warnimont (Akron) as the only
two players to commit to
NCAA Division I. Graham is
the 18th Blue Devil all-time
to play in college.
“My dad has never gave up
on me, we’ve had countless
fights because he always saw
something in me that I never
did,” Gus said. “My mom has
always loved me and played
the peacemaker; I’ve been a
lucky man.”
Gus played summer league
with Ohio Elite under head
coach Chris Valentine. Graham will look to lead GAHS
to more success this season
with a fastball in the upper
80’s. In Graham’s two seasons on varsity the Blue Devils have gone 47-12, winning
a share of the Southeastern
Ohio Athletic League both
seasons and advancing to the
Division II district tournament both years.

NEW YORK (AP) — All those who
marvel at Miguel Cabrera can only wonder what he might’ve done this year if
completely healthy.
Even so, Cabrera was a huge hit in Motown.
Despite being hobbled by all sorts of
ailments, the Detroit Tigers slugger won
his second straight American League
Most Valuable Player award Thursday,
once again beating Angels outfielder Mike
Trout by a comfortable margin.
A season after winning baseball’s first
Triple Crown in 45 years, Cabrera came
back to lead the majors in hitting at .348
and finish second with 44 home runs and
137 RBIs.

“I think this year was tougher because
of the injuries,” he said on a conference
call from the Miami area.
“It was the last two months. It was
tough to play through it,” he said.
The eight-time All-Star missed several
games after the break because of a bad
back, a sore left hip flexor, a strained lower abdomen, shin trouble and a groin tear.
He recently had surgery to fix the tear and
said he’ll be ready for spring training.
Still, Cabrera got 23 of 30 first-place
votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He became
the first player to win consecutive AL
MVPs since Frank Thomas for the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and 1994.

COLUMBIA, Ky. —
Sophomore forward Kasey
Crow became the first
University of Rio Grande
women’s soccer player in
two seasons to earn a nonacademic Mid-South Conference postseason honor
when she was named to
the MSC All-Conference
Second Team by conference officials on Wednesday.
Crow, a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, led the RedStorm this season in both
points (22) and goals (10)
and was tied for fourth on
the team in assists (2).
Crow was able to etch
her name in the program’s
history this season, as she
became Rio’s all-time leader in both points and goals
for a career.
Crow notched the 19th
goal of her career, surpassing the previous school
record of 18 goals set by
Beth Hoffman from 200507, against St. Catharine
back on October 16th.
An assist in the final
regular season game of
the season propelled Crow
to the top of the all-time
points leader list, previously held by Hoffman as well.
Also joining Crow with
conference honors was
Cumberland (Tenn.) head
coach Gavin McKinney,
Cumberland’s Taylor Nay
and Olvia Chu and Shawnee State’s (Ohio) Teresa
Welch.
McKinney was named
Mid-South
Conference
Coach of the Year, while
Nay was selected MSC
Player of the Year and Chu
was named MSC Freshman of the Year. Welch is
the Mid-South Conference

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As the Browns
stretched before practice on Friday, a
peculiar song blared from the four loudspeakers lining one side of the team’s outdoor field.
Lionel Richie’s voice filled the air.
Usually, the musical selection on such
days is by artists like Jay-Z or Eminem
or Kanye West, something current and
upbeat to help get the players loose.
But as the Browns went through final
preparations for their biggest game of
the season on Sunday in Cincinnati,
they listened to something much softer
— Richie’s “Hello.”
The strange choice turned out to be a
joke aimed at starting quarterback Jason
Campbell, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the smooth singer-songwriter.
Following practice, Campbell was greeted
with a photo of a smiling Richie taped in
his locker.
“I’m going to find out who did this,”
Campbell promised, pulling off the picture
and taking the playful gag in stride.
Richie’s photo was accompanied by a
famous — and fitting — lyric from his hit
song: “Is it me you’re looking for?”
As it turns out, Campbell could be exactly who the Browns have been looking
for this season.
Overlooked and all but forgotten earlier
in the season, the veteran quarterback has
emerged as somewhat of a savior for the
Browns (4-5), who can close the gap in the
AFC North on Sunday with a win over the
first-place Bengals (6-4).
Campbell’s strong performances in the
past two games — a close loss at Kan-

sas City and win over Baltimore — has
helped push Cleveland to the precipice of
a possible playoff push. The 31-year-old
has never sought the spotlight, but it has
found him nonetheless, and after enduring
a career of highs and lows, Campbell is savoring every moment.
“I am in my ninth season,” Campbell
said, “and I have stressed and pressured myself before in the past and
now it is just about having fun and win
games and do the best I can to help this
young football team grow and continue
to keep competing.”
Typical Campbell. He’s humble, hardworking, generous and loaded with experience. After signing as a free agent with
Cleveland in March, he was beaten out by
Brandon Weeden in training camp and
passed over by third-stringer Brian Hoyer
after Weeden was injured. But the Browns
had no choice but to turn to Campbell
when Hoyer suffered a season-ending
knee injury and Weeden struggled.
Campbell has delivered, throwing five
touchdown passes without an interception
in two starts. He has stabilized a turbulent
position — he’s Cleveland’s 20th starting
QB since 1999 — and given Browns fans
hope that the dark days are dwindling.
And perhaps above all, Campbell has
provided leadership to a young team needing guidance.
“He’s a true pro, man,” said Browns cornerback Joe Haden. “He controls the O.
He’s a really good leader. I look at him like a
big-brother figure. He carries himself really
well and you can just tell that he’s used to
being a leader. He’s doing a really god job.”

The 49ers at the Saints,
a battle for NFC supremacy.
That’s what the script
might have called for, except that the Seahawks
have trumped both of them
so far. And nobody wants
to go to Seattle in the postseason.
So San Francisco and
New Orleans will do every-

thing possible to get lined
up behind Seattle should
the Seahawks stumble.
The Saints are in much
better shape in that regard
because the Niners (6-3)
have to travel to the Big
Easy, one hard place to
play.
“You can definitely see
offensively they are machine-like and really have

things going and oiled up,”
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh
said. “Same defensively,
they are doing a very good
job of getting stops, getting turnovers and creating negative plays.”
After blowing out Dallas, the Saints (7-2) know
the chore will be more difficult against the defending NFC champs, who

Minnesota is at Seattle,

Detroit at Pittsburgh,
Washington at Philadelphia, Oakland at Houston, the New York Jets at
Buffalo, Green Bay at the
New York Giants, Arizona
at Jacksonville, San Diego
at Miami, and Atlanta at
Tampa Bay.
Monday night has New
England at Carolina.
Off this week are Dallas
(5-5) and St. Louis (4-6).
In Thursday night’s
game, Indianapolis once
again dug itself an early
hole before climbing out.
Donald Brown ran for
two touchdowns, Andrew
Luck added another and
the Colts rallied yet again,
this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 after
trailing 14-0 in the first
quarter.
Adam Vinatieri kicked
three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby
Fleener had a career-high
eight catches for 107 yards
to help the Colts (7-3)
bounce back quite nicely
from a 38-8 home loss to
St. Louis.
The Titans (4-6) lost
their second straight and
fifth in six games, scoring
a touchdown with 1:54 left
but failing to execute on
onside kick for the second
straight game.
———
Kansas City (9-0) at
Denver (8-1)
A game so enticing NBC
got it flexed to prime time,
this one matches teams
with the best combined
winning percentage this
late in the season since the
merger.
Denver, with Jack Del
Rio as interim coach while
John Fox recovers from
heart surgery, is on a record scoring pace, averaging 41.2 points a game.
But Peyton Manning,
who has 3,249 yards passing, the most through nine
games, and 33 touchdown
passes, is plagued by a
high ankle sprain.
And the Chiefs are as
stingy as they come on
defense, the first team to
allow 17 points or fewer
in each of their first nine
games since the 1977
Falcons. They already
have 36 sacks and 23
takeaways.
“We always have confidence in our defensive
backfield, no matter who
we play,” cornerback Brandon Flowers said. “We feel
we match up pretty good
with them.”
———
Minnesota (2-7) at Seattle (9-1)
The Seahawks feel the
same way, and they have
an intimidating defense,
too. They rank third overall and second against the
pass.
Winning at Seattle has
been impossible recently
and the Seahawks go for
their 13th straight home
win, which would be a
franchise record.
Minnesota’s best chance
for an upset is turning
Adrian Peterson loose.
Last season, Peterson
rushed for 182 yards on
just 17 carries against the
Seahawks including runs
of 74, 28 and 24 yards.
———
New England (7-2) at

Carolina (6-3), Monday
night
A surprisingly juicy
Monday night matchup
thanks to the Panthers’
surge. They have won five
in a row, including an impressive 10-9 victory at
San Francisco last week.
They lead the league in
time of possession, a key
against Tom Brady and the
Patriots.
New England comes off
a bye and has not been
dominant most of the time
despite its gaudy record.
In his last game, though,
Brady had a season-best
432 yards passing and four
TDs.
———
Baltimore (4-5) at Chicago (5-4)
An overtime win to break
a three-game slide was encouraging for the Ravens,
but they aren’t performing
anything like last season’s
champions. They can’t get
the run game in gear and
Joe Flacco has been sacked
30 times.
Banged-up
Chicago
might not have the horses
to put that kind of pressure
on Flacco, and it also is using second-string quarterback Josh McCown for the
injured Jay Cutler. But McCown has played well this
year, and he has weapons
in WRs Brandon Marshall
and Alshon Jeffery, and RB
Matt Forte.
———
Cleveland (4-5) at Cincinnati (6-4)
A win makes Cleveland
a contender for the AFC
North crown and also for a
wild card. The Browns can
match their win total from
2012; they haven’t won
more than five games in a
season since 2007. Their
defense has been staunch
and veteran Jason Campbell is giving them steady
quarterback play.
Cincinnati has lost two
straight overtime games;
no team has done it three
successive times. But the
Bengals are 4-0 at home
this season, outscoring opponents 116-55.
———
Detroit (6-3) at Pittsburgh (3-6)
Winning at Chicago
boosted the Lions to sole
possession of the NFC
North lead. However, this
is not a place they can be
confident of success. Detroit’s last victory in the
Steel City came in 1955.
The Steelers have gone
3-2 since an 0-4 start,
though their 3-6 record
is the franchise’s worst
through nine games since
2006. They need to solidify an offensive line that has
yielded 35 sacks.
———
Washington (3-6) at
Philadelphia (5-5)
Now is the time for the
Redskins to make their run
to the playoffs. At least,
that’s what they did last
year, beating the Eagles as
the first of seven consecutive wins. Washington’s
running game leads the
league with 5.1 yards per
rush.
Philly is just behind that
and LeSean McCoy leads
the NFL with 932 yards on
the ground. Even better,
Nick Foles has thrown 16
TD passes and no interceptions. And the Eagles’
defense has come on.
Still, their last win at
home was 11 games ago.

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Not even the
weather was going to rain
on Point Pleasant’s parade.
The Big Blacks stormed
out to a 14-0 first quarter
lead and never looked back
Friday night en route to a
41-14 pounding of visiting Logan in a Class AAA
opening round playoff contest at Ohio Valley Bank
Track and Field in Mason
County.
Point Pleasant (11-0)
shined in all three phases
of the game, particularly
in the opening moments
of the contest. The defense
recovered a fumble and returned it to the house for
an early 7-0 lead, then the
Wildcats (7-4) had a pair of
bad snaps on consecutive
punt attempts — which
resulted in a pair of PPHS
possessions inside Logan
territory.
The fourth-ranked Big
Blacks scored on the first
of those two opportunities
to secure a 14-0 cushion,
then traded second period
scores to claim a 21-7 edge
headed into the intermission. The 13th-ranked
Wildcats managed to
whittle their deficit down
to 27-14 headed into the
fourth, but Point closed
regulation with a pair of
sustained drives to wrap
up the 27-point triumph.
The victory was the first
for PPHS at the Class AAA
level since the 1979 season
and just the second ever in
the school’s history. The
Big Blacks — who are now
5-10 alltime in the playoffs
— also improved to 4-1
in postseason contests at
OVB Field.
Afterwards,
seventhyear PPHS coach Dave
Darst was very upbeat
about his squad’s overall
effort. He was glad to see
a group join his 1979 teammates while also securing
another postseason game
next weekend.
“That was a tremendous
effort out of our kids tonight. Offensively, what
can I say except that I don’t
know if I’ve ever seen our
running game move the
way that it is right now.
Our young linemen have
really grown up,” Darst
said. “Defensively, we
played well again tonight.
Logan has a pretty good
running back over there
and we gave up a couple
of big plays, but when you
only give up 14 points in a
playoff game … that’s doing
a good job.
“We’re very excited
about this win and we have
another game next week
at home to get ready for.
We’re excited about the
next challenge.”
The next challenge for
the Big Blacks will be fifthranked Wheeling Park after
a 55-34 victory over South
Charleston. Wheeling Park
is now 10-1 overall on the
season and the game will
be played at OVB Field,
but the date and time will
not be determined until
Sunday.
The Big Blacks wasted
little time in establishing
momentum, as Logan’s
sixth play on the opening
drive of the game provided
just the spark that PPHS

was looking for. A Wildcat
handoff was jarred loose
and straight up in the air,
which came down in the
hands of Jon Peterson.
Peterson took the fumble recovery and rumbled
56 yards to paydirt, giving Point Pleasant an early
7-0 advantage with 9:27
remaining in the opening
period.
LHS followed with a
seven-play drive on its following possession, which
resulted in a loss of downs
following a bad snap on a
punt. Punter Daniel Hanks
recovered the bad snap but
was tackled at the Logan
40, where Point took over
possession with 7:22 left in
the first.
Ten plays and 40 yards
later, Chase Walton extended the Big Blacks’
advantage to 14-0 after a
one-yard plunge at the 2:41
mark of the first.
The Wildcats countered
with a three-and-out on
their next drive, but another bad snap on a punt resulted in Hicks being taken
down at the LHS 20 with
1:07 remaining in the period. Point’s drive stalled inside the five, but the guests
were pinned deep in their
own territory when they
retained possession.
Those first five drives
of the game were monumental in helping Point
Pleasant seize control,
something that Darst acknowledged later on in the
night.
“That was the perfect
start for us, and we’ve pretty much done that all year,”
Darst said. “Our kids have
been very opportunistic on
defense, and it’s really set
the tone for what we’ve
done all year long.”
The sixth drive, however, was a quick wake-up
call — as Logan marched
95 yards in four plays to
produce its first points
of the night. A 45-yard
touchdown pass from Ryan
Miller to Clayton Marcum
with 10:03 left in the first
half allowed LHS to pull to
within 14-7.
Point Pleasant countered with a 10-play, 87yard scoring drive that was
capped by a six-yard TD
run by Cody Mitchell, allowing the hosts to secure
a 21-7 edge with 5:12 left
until the half. The score
remained that way, as each
team traded interceptions
before the break.
Point Pleasant owned a
slim 155-153 overall edge
in total yards at halftime,
including a 121-77 advantage in rushing yards. Both
teams had nine first downs
and PPHS was plus-1 in
turnover differential after
one half of play.
The Big Blacks opened
the second half with an
11-play, 57-yard drive that
led to points, as Mitchell
capped that drive with a
one-yard run at the 7:39
mark for a sizable 27-7 advantage.
Logan countered with
a seven-play, 72-yard scoring drive that ended with
a two-yard TD run by
Brynden “Worm” Street at
the 4:49 mark, making it
a 27-14 contest late in the
third quarter. The Wildcats
would never come closer
the rest of the way.

with a 12-play, 80-yard
drive that was finished off
with an eight-yard TD pass
from Aden Yates to Chase
Walton at the 11:19 mark
of the fourth, giving PPHS
a 34-14 lead.
Logan followed with a
three-and-out, then the Big
Blacks drove the proverbial
nail in the coffin on its next
possession. The host covered 61 yards in six plays
to claim a 41-14 cushion,
as Walton ran 19 yards to
paydirt with 7:39 left in
regulation to complete the
27-point outcome.
Logan’s last two drives
resulted in a loss of downs,
while Point Pleasant had
its only punt of the night
sandwiched in between
those drives — with the
PPHS punt coming around
the one minute mark of the
fourth quarter.
Point Pleasant finished
the night with a sizable
444-230 overall edge in total yards of offense, including a whopping 374-79 advantage in rushing yards.
The Big Blacks averaged
6.8 yards per carry on 55
attempts, while the guests
managed only 3.3 yards
per try on 24 totes.
The Big Blacks also
claimed a 23-11 overall
edge in first downs and finished the evening plus-1 in
turnover differential. Point
was flagged five times for
50 yards, while Logan was
penalized twice for 20
yards.
Cody Mitchell led the
PPHS rushing attack with
141 yards and two scores
on 26 carries, followed by
Chase Walton with 136
yards and two scores on 21
attempts. Cody Marcum
chipped in 35 yards on five
rushes as well.
Aden Yates finished the
night 7-of-10 passing for
70 yards, throwing one
touchdown and zero interceptions. Walton also
attempts two failed passes,
including a Hail Mary interception right before the
half. Yates also rushed for
12 yards on three carries.
Walton led the wideouts

with three catches for 29
yards and a score, followed
by Brian Gibbs with one
catch for 23 yards. Austen
Toler, Mitchell and Peterson also had a catch apiece
for eight, six and four
yards respectively.
Brynden Street led Logan with 109 rushing yards
and a score on 15 carries,
followed by Tyler Vernatter
with three carries for five
yards. Three other backs
combined for six carries
and negative 35 rushing
yards.
Ryan Miller finished the
night 9-of-24 passing for
151 yards, including one
TD and one interception.
Josh Rein led the wideouts
with four catches for 34
yards, while Clayton Marcum hauled in three passes
for 57 yards and a score.
Brynden Street also caught
two passes for 60 yards.
Cody Mitchell had the
Big Blacks’ lone interception of the night on a deflected pass late in the
second quarter. Colin Peal
was also a perfect 5-for-5
on extra-point kicks.
Point Pleasant — which
is now 28-3 alltime at OVB
Field — handed Logan its
sixth playoff loss in six
chances. It was also the
final game for 10th-year
LHS coach Gary Mullins,
who is resigning from the
head coaching position after this season.
Now Point Pleasant
must focus its attention on
Wheeling Park, a team that
some pundits consider a legitimate contender for the
Class AAA championship.
Coach Darst knows it will
be an electric atmosphere
at OVB Field next weekend, one that his troops
can hopefully survive.
“We’re expecting the biggest crowd that we’ve ever
had here next week. We’re
going to have an unbelievable football team coming
in and it’s going take a
tremendous effort for us
to get it done,” Darst said.
“If we do that, who knows
what happens from there.”

RUTLAND — This time
11 years ago, an overgrown
wooded area was situated
just off New Lima Road
between Rutland and Harrisonville — today it is a
174-acre conservation area.
The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation Area is
located just off New Lima
Road near Rutland, in the
Leading Creek Watershed,
and features outdoor activities for nearly everyone.
The
conservation
area is 174 acres that include wetlands, prairies,
streams and ridges. The
2.5-acre wetland was constructed in 2008 and is
home to many water creatures as the youth at the
camp discovered.
The area is open to the
public for general use,
hiking, bird watching and
other activities. There is a
1.5-mile hiking path and a
quarter-mile walking path
on the property that can
be used by the public. A
shelter house constructed
a few years ago can also be
used for picnics at the conservation area.
The project — to make
the conservation area what
it is today — began one year
before the official acquisition date of June 13, 2003.
On Oct. 24, 2002, Meigs

ABOVE, a group of local volunteers planted trees at the conservation area. AT LEFT, Joe Bolin, Meigs SWCD board member, and Vicki Morrow, former Meigs SWCD Educator, look at
a plat map of the area on Nov. 26, 2002, a few months before
the land was purchased by Meigs SWCD.

SWCD approved the Clean
Ohio Agreement for the
“Little Leading Creek Riparian Acquisition Project”
in the amount of $172,493,
with a donation from the
George Thompson, property owner, making up the
remainder of the balance
for the $229,990 purchase.
Meigs SWCD Wildlife
Specialist Jim Freeman
gave much of the credit for
the conservation area to
board member Joe Bolin
who found the property for
the project.

In the weeks after approval by the board, representatives from Meigs
SWCD walked portions of
the property and had the
property surveyed.
On June 13, 2003,
the district officially acquired the property from
CETM Inc., represented
by Thompson and Brian
Christman. Representing
the Meigs SWCD Board
of Supervisors were Supervisors Bill Baer and Joe
Bolin. The property was
purchased for $229,990

of which $172,493 came
from the Clean Ohio Green
Space Conservation Fund
with the remainder donated by Thompson, which
comprised the “match” for
the matching grant.
Since that time, a great
deal of work has went into
making the conservation
area what it has become.
When the Meigs SWCD
first acquired the Conservation Area, the property
was in pretty rough shape.
The open areas were overgrown with several years’

worth of brush, there were
piles of debris apparently
from earlier logging and
other activities around the
entrance to the property,
and trails were practically
non-existent with the exception of ATV paths. Essentially it was extremely
neglected, yet had plenty
of potential.
In July 2003, the district
enrolled into a cooperative
hunting agreement with
the Ohio Department of
Natural
Resources-Division of Wildlife. Also that

same year, Jenkins and
Freeman walked the property boundaries, putting
up the “hunting with permission only” signs, taking
photographs and marking
the property boundary
with flagging and spray
paint. In many places the
property lines are hard to
determine and can only be
found by looking for old
trees with pieces of barbed
wire growing through
them, and other indicators

like old fence posts or rows

The first event held at the
Conservation Area was the
Leading Creek Watershed
Day Camp on June 16-17,
2004, under the direction of
Leading Creek Watershed
Coordinator Cynthia Bauers. Topics and activities
included: water quality testing stations, discovering
the critters in the creek, fish
sampling demonstration, exploration of wildlife, water
beneath our feet – the importance of groundwater, fun nature crafts, nature hikes with
tree and plant identification,
recycling activities, wetlands
and other activities.
The parking lot was made
later that same year.
On April 20, 2006, the district installed a sign near the
entrance to the Conservation
Area. Prior to that, there was
nothing there to distinguish
the Conservation Area from
any other property in the
area. The sign was made
by Meigs High School FFA
students and reads “Meigs
County Soil and Water Conservation Area.” The sign
was installed as part of a
larger work project which
involved staff members, volunteers, board and auxiliary
members. The group spent
at least one day and part of
the next cutting and clearing
a path to create an addition
to existing paths on the property; when completed the
new trail was approximately
1.5 miles in length and made
a continuous loop from the

field near the parking lot, up
the valley to the path along
the face of the high wall,
around the hill and back
down again to the beginning.
The path that was made in
2004 became sort of a shortcut path cutting through the
middle of the loop.
That year saw the return
of the Leading Creek Watershed Day Camp, which has
been held every June since.
The new trail was dedicated on Aug. 10, 2006 and
named the Pauline H. Atkins
Memorial Trail in memory of
a lifetime of dedicated community service. Mrs. Atkins’
daughter and son-in-law,
Sharon and Robert Jewell,
joined by local Boy Scouts
and other community members cut a ribbon officially
opening the trail to the public.
In March 2007, PDK Construction Company of Pomeroy installed a guardrail at
the north side of the parking
lot to keep vehicles off of
the trail. A gate (which was
later stolen) was purchased
using money provided by
the Buckeye Hills RC&amp;D.
Also that spring the district
planted nearly 200 American
chestnut seedlings on the
property with the assistance
of Meigs Elementary School
fifth-graders.
Groundbreaking on the
wetland was held on Aug.
2, 2007, and it was designed
with education in mind; two
viewing “peninsulas” were
installed as well as a small
island, and two rocky areas
were put in to provide habitat and shelter for aquatic

creatures. The summer was
so dry that water had to be
hauled in for compaction of
the “keyway” and dam. A
water-level control structure
was donated by the AgriDrain Corp. which allows
for manipulation of the wetland’s water levels. By the
middle of November the wetland was complete but empty, but by spring, 2008 it was
completely full and being
used for educational purposes. The cost of the wetland
was approximately $12,000
with the biggest portion of
that coming from the WHIP
program and the remainder
as “in-kind” match and labor.
In 2008, the district planted a warm-season prairie in
the area between the wetland and the county road.
That prairie sprang up quickly, unlike the warm-season
grass demonstration plots
which were broadcast-planted across the road around
the same time. Also that
year, members of Boy Scout
Troop 299 put up bluebird
and bat boxes and a wood
duck box, along with benches near the wetland and on
the Atkins Trail.
The Meigs County Health
Department came through
in 2009 and funded the construction of a quarter-mile
long, handicapped-accessible
limestone walking path adjacent to the parking lot. The
cost of the walking path was
approximately $5,000.
Construction of the 36-by50-foot shelter house began
in the fall of 2010. Completion of the shelter house
marked a huge milestone

in the Conservation Area;
before that time the district
would use portable canopies
or pop-up shelters for events
like picnics or watershed
camp, and sometimes we
didn’t even have those. The
shelter makes it possible to
put a large number of people
under-roof and partially out
of the weather.
The shelter house, which
cost approximately $12,000
with the cost shared between
the district and AEP was
completed that winter and
dedicated in spring, 2011.
That spring, a former district
supervisor built and donated
towards the construction of
three large picnic tables and
built a fourth one which the
district paid for. He later
cleared brush around the
old cannery and built a small
bridge between the shelter

If you or a loved one suffer with hip pain, hip replacement may be in your future. Modern advances in
medical technology allow improved range of motion and decreased risk of dislocation when compared to
traditional implants. Combined with Wright’s SUPERPATH™ Hip Technique, patients may also feel minimal

house and wetland. The picnic tables, which are 16-feet
long, were an important addition to the pavilion.
A block latrine was constructed in 2012 for $34,400
from a Community Development Block Grant secured
by the Meigs County Grants
Office. Since 2004, every
time the district wanted to
have some sort of function
at the Conservation Area it
had to rent porta-johns and
handwashing stations. The
new waterless latrine is of
the “pit” type and features
two separate rooms and an
adjoining storage room. The
latrine is connected to the
parking lot and picnic shelter
by a concrete sidewalk. Staff
and volunteers also constructed a “rain garden” next
to the picnic shelter.
This year, 2013, the Conservation Area received a
donation from the Ohio
River Valley Chapter of the
National Wild Turkey Federation which was used to
purchase a water tap and install waterline and a frost-free
hydrant at the picnic shelter.
In addition, upgrades and
improvements to the Atkins
Trail were made using a
$600 donation provided by
the Buckeye Hills RC&amp;D.
Over those past 10 years,
hundreds of children and
adults have attended field
trips, day camps, nature
hikes and other events at the
Conservation Area.
“The Conservation Area
is a special place for SWCD
employees, and especially to
myself,” added Freeman. “I
have spent numerous enjoyable hours here and have special memories of the Conservation Area, its trails, woods
and other areas. I know
it’s owned by the people of
Meigs County, but I definitely take a measure of pride in
ownership in what we have
created here, and keep it
strictly in charge to maintain
this land for the people of the
county and for those generations yet to come.”
Despite the changes over
the years, the Conservation
Area remains true to the
original intent to leave the
land in a natural state so it
can be used for educational
purposes and so other people can enjoy its quiet, natural beauty by strolling along

its trails, watching wildlife
or just connecting with the
world out-of-doors. You
won’t find any ball fields or
playground equipment there,
which is partly due to the
conditions imposed by the
Clean Ohio Grant.
Before you visit the Conservation Area, the Meigs
SWCD staff makes the following recommendations:
Wear weather-appropriate
clothing and footwear suitable for outdoor activity;
bring adequate sunscreen
and insect repellent; Anticipate steep hills, mud,
water, rocks, briars, poison
ivy, bugs, snakes and other
natural hazards; Avoid playing near high walls and
NEVER enter old coal mining auger holes or other entrances; There are NO RESTROOMS unless reserved
in advance; Generally, cell
phones DO NOT work at the
Conservation Area; People
with physical disabilities,
very old or very young, or
just simply out of shape will
find portions of the Meigs
SWCD Conservation Area to
be inaccessible. Know your
limitations; Other people or
hunters (in season) may be
using the Conservation Area
at the same time as you; be
courteous and respectful to
others you find enjoying the
Conservation Area; Absolutely no ATVs are permitted. Park only in designated
areas; Please leave the Conservation Area cleaner than
you found it. Take only photographs and leave only footprints.
The Meigs SWCD Conservation Area is open to the
public and permission is not
needed for general use, hiking, bird watching and other
non-consumptive activities.
Group and school activities
including educational field
trips, “field days” and other
outings should be scheduled
through Meigs SWCD Education Coordinator Jenny
Ridenour who may be able
to assist you or help avoid
potentially troubling conflicts.
