McBrayer, 29, Gallipolis, who has been charged with one count of felonious assault and two counts of child endangerment, was scheduled to appear in the Gallia Coun- Briefs recently filed in McBrayer case ty Common Pleas Court on January 12 for a jury trial in this matter; however, following a motion filed on January 11 accusing misconduct on the part of the special prosecutors filed by McBrayer’s defense counsel Charles Knight, the trial was continued. Furthermore, the court ordered Knight, as well as special prosecutors, Melinda Kowalski and Emily Pelphrey of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, to submit “simultaneous briefs regarding the issues raised in Defendant’s motion to regulate discovery and sanctions…” In a brief filed by Knight on January 25, he maintains that the special prosecutors be removed in this case “in an attempt to institute a fair and level playing field for the defendant.” Within the entry he cites prosecutorial standards of the American Bar Association, as well as a law review article which discusses prosecutorial disclosure obligations. In his original motion, Knight stated that the state did not provide full and timely disclosure of evidence to the defense and that only upon prompting from the defense just prior to the jury trial did the state disclose its witness list for the upcoming trial. In addition, Knight argued that the state, after affirmatively replying that proposals of settlement would be considered, denied the defendant’s plea proposal and has offered no alternative to their long-standing plea proposal. The most recent supplemental brief suggests that the court remove the special prosecutors in order to pro- vide a fair opportunity for the defendant in this case. It states, “Remedies for this misconduct include dismissal of these charges although the dismissal of these charges would deny the opportunity for justice and a fair day in court for the State of Ohio. The defense is not requesting such a drastic action. However, the defendant needs to be assured that a fair and level playing field and justice is going to be offered to the defendant by the State of Ohio as is their duty. Therefore, it is the belief of the defendant that this can only be accomplished by the removal of these prosecuting attorneys as a ‘reset’ of this case where full, fair and total disclosure by the State of Ohio and the defendant can occur in an open justice system not prejudiced either against the defendant or against the State of Ohio.” In a response filed by the state on January 25 and signed by Kowalski, the prosecution maintains that the defense counsel has made inaccurate accusations against the prosecution.

Comedy lineup features local performer By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Meigs County’s Dixie Sayre is one of five women featured in a production of the “Dixie Swim Club” by the Actor’s Guild of Parkersburg to be presented at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in the 724 Market Street Theatre. The play is a comedy about early friendships and the annual reunions of five friends over a period of many years. It reflects the humor and sorrow that comes from the reality of life lived in an imperfect world. It tells a story of loyalty and support maintained over the years as the five women gathered on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and even meddle in each other’s lives over the period of 33 years. Those gatherings provided a time for sharing glimpses into each other lives, a constant thread in their relationship. Sayre has been a regular on Meigs County stages for many years. Along with appearing in Actors Guild’s productions, she has been on stage with the Ohio Valley Summer Theater in Athens and the River City Players in Meigs County. Frances Gibser is the assistant director and Dave Warner is a crew member. Both are Meigs Countians involved in local productions. PVH holds annual Hospice Tea Staff report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com POINT PLEASANT — The 14th Annual Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) Hospice Tea was recently held at the Mid Ohio Valley Center in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. PVH Home Health and Hospice employees, along with friends of the community, were in attendance for the lunch and celebration. “Hospice is so often thought of as being about death. The reality is that hospice focuses on life — the quality of a patient’s life, regardless of how long that might be,” said Mistie Best, RN, MSN, MHA – Director of Home Care Services. “Through effective management of a patient’s illness, he or she can live their remaining time to the fullest. Hospice isn’t just about the illness, though. Hospice is a very holistic approach to providing treatment to patients and families. All aspects are addressed – mind, body, and spirit. The hospice tea is held each year so that those who have been affected by a terminal illness to gather and share their experiences with others. Anyone in the community is welcome to attend, especially those who have lost a loved one or have had a loved one on hospice services.” “Hospice is end-of-life care focusing on management of symptoms of a terminal illness. However, it is so much more than that. Often members of the community who receive our services tell us that they had no idea such a wonderful service exists. Patients and families refer to hospice services as a ‘Godsend’ in their time of need,” said Tia Wooten, RN, Hospice Team Leader. “Hospice is one of the most monumentally significant but grievously underutilized health services being offered to the community. Hospice is a wonderful service that helps patients and families to arrive at a level of peace, comfort, and reassurance they would not otherwise achieve. Unfortunately, not enough people are aware of the benefits hospice truly has to offer. See TEA ‌| 3 for 51 percent of the total deaths caused by it.

Participating towns receive benefits ranging from making the town a better place to live, work, play and visit, to increased civic pride to increased property values. You can learn all about America in Bloom, get help to organize your town’s participation efforts, and also check out the registration process at www.americainbloom.org. (You can also look at the list of towns or cities that have already signed up!) Registration fee is on a sliding scale based on population size and participants can receive a 25 percent discount for each new town they recruit. Between May and August, judges spend two days in each town providing oneon-one consultations and coaching. They develop an extensive written evaluation that provides feedback on where towns excel and suggestions for further initiatives. To date, participants include nearly 200 towns and cities from 40 states. For some towns, participating in the annual America in Bloom awards program has become a way of life, as volunteers look forward to working together on visible improvements. Contest Chairman and AIB board member, Jack Clasen, PhD, said, “I’m excited about the 2012 program because we have assembled the best team of experienced, professional judges in the history of the program. This year we’re introducing a new, streamlined evaluation form that features four cornerstones: environmental awareness, heritage preservation, horticultural efforts, and community involvement. Our towns and cities raise the bar of excellence every year.” To register, go to www. americainbloom.org. Federal budget deficit to dip to $1.1T WASHINGTON (AP) — A new budget report released Tuesday predicts the government will run a $1.1 trillion deficit in the fiscal year that ends in September, a slight dip from last year but still very high by any measure. The Congressional Budget Office report also says that annual deficits will remain in the $1 trillion range for the next several years if Bush-era tax cuts slated to expire in December are extended, as commonly assumed. The report is yet another reminder of the perilous fiscal situation the government is in, but it’s commonly assumed that President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Congress that little will be accomplished on the deficit issue during an election year. The first wave of statements from lawmakers had a familiar ring as each party cast blame on the other. “Four straight years of trillion-dollar deficits, no credible plan to lift the crushing burden of debt,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., “The president and his party’s leaders have fallen short in their duty to tackle our generation’s most pressing fiscal and economic challenges.” “We will not solve this problem unless both sides, Democrats and Republicans, are willing to move off their fixed positions and find common ground,” said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D. “Republicans must be willing to put revenue on the table.” The CBO study also predicts modest economic growth of 2 percent this year and forecasts that the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent this year and next. That is based on an assumption that President Barack Obama will fail to win renewal of payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits by the end of next month. That jobless rate is higher than the rates that contributed to losses by Presidents Jimmy Carter (7.5 percent) and George H.W. Bush (7.4 percent). The study predicts unemployment to remain above roughly 5 percent until 2016. The agency also predicts that unemployment will remain at 7 percent or above through 2015 The new figures also show that last summer’s budget and debt pact has barely made a dent in the government’s fiscal woes.

Defense Counsel no only misquotes and misinterprets alleged ‘facts’ in his motion, but he attempts to quote the prosecuting attorneys in this case to better suit his client and his motive. It is the State’s contention that the Defense has not made any attempt to comply with the a legally proper discovery request, but instead filed a motion alleging misconduct and asking for removal of the special prosecutors, in order to delay the trial and attempt to obtain a more favorable plea offer. It continues to be the State’s assertion that there was not a good faith basis in this motion.” Within the brief, Kowalski outlines Knight’s allegations, stating that the state did disclose all statements received from witnesses to either defense counsel Knight or previous counsel, William Conley, as promptly as that information was provided to the state. In addition, the brief states that criminal rules do not dictate at what time a witness list be provided and concedes that the state was unaware of a local court rule requiring the filing of the witness list with the clerk of courts. Moreover, the said list was provided to the defense on January 9 and, according to Kowalski, the defense has no proof that the state “willfully” withheld the witness list. The memorandum also addresses the issue of the settlement offer in this case and upholds that “there is neither case law nor a Criminal Rule that states that an offer must be considered by the State.” Furthermore, the brief maintains that the plea offer presented by the defense was not appropriate: “The State has reasonable belief, and in the pursuit of justice, that the Defense’s offer for resolution was neither adequate nor appropriate in this matter. Simply put, Defense did not like the State offer, so now Defense is complaining.” Lastly, the prosecution asks the court to consider the least severe sanction in this matter — a continuance and “an order to give defense counsel access to the State’s file.” As of press time, no further journal entries had been filed by the court considering a resolution to this matter.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Education: States accountable for doing more to reach students MIAMI (AP) — In its initial review of No Child Left Behind waiver requests, the U.S. Education Department highlighted a similar weakness in nearly every application: States did not do enough to ensure schools would be held accountable for the performance of all students. The Obama administration praised the states for their high academic standards. But nearly every application was criticized for being loose about setting high goals and, when necessary, interventions for all student groups including minorities, the disabled and low-income or for failing to create sufficient incentives to close the achievement gap. Under No Child Left Behind, schools where even one group of students falls behind are considered out of compliance and subject to interventions. The law has been championed for helping shed light on education inequalities, but most now agree it is due for change. Indiana’s proposal to opt out of the federal law’s strictest requirements was criticized by the Education Department for its “inattention” to certain groups, like students still learning the English language. New Mexico’s plan, a panel of peer reviewers noted, did not include accountability and interventions for student subgroups based on factors like achievement and graduation rates. In Florida, the department expressed concern that the performance of some groups of students could go overlooked. The concerns were out- lined in letters sent last December by the administration to the 11 states that have applied for a waiver. Since then, state and federal officials have been talking about how to address the concerns; some states have already agreed to changes. The letters were obtained by The Associated Press for all of the states except Tennessee and Kentucky, which declined to provide them until an announcement is made on whether a waiver is granted. The Education Department has previously said it expected to notify states by midJanuary. “Our priority is protecting children and maintaining a high bar even as we give states more flexibility to get more resources to the children most in need, even if that means the process takes a little longer than we anticipated,” said Daren Briscoe, a department spokesman. Jack Jennings, president of the Center on Education Policy, said federal officials are in a challenging spot. “The current law means that each group of kids, whether they are children with a disability, or African-American, or poor kids, have attention paid to them, because the schools are accountable for each and every group,” said Jennings. “But what the states are asking is that they all be lumped together.” The Bush-era law is aimed at making sure 100 percent of students reach proficiency in math and reading by 2014, a goal states are far from achieving. As that year draws closer, more and more schools are expected to fall out of compliance, subjecting them to penalties that range from afterschool tutoring to closure. While there is bipartisan agreement the 2002 law needs to be fixed, Congress has not passed a comprehensive reform. President Barack Obama announced in September that states could apply for waivers and scrap the proficiency requirement if they met conditions designed to better prepare and test students. The 11 states that applied for the first round of waivers were Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico and Tennessee. Many more states are expected to request waivers in the second round meaning all eyes will be on the first approvals. The Center on Education Policy analyzed all the waiver requests and found that in nine of the 11 states, almost all decisions on penalties and interventions would be based on the performance of two groups: all students and a “disadvantaged” group that would replace the current system of separate categories of students according to race, ethnicity, income, disability and English language proficiency. Those separate categories are at the heart of what No Child Left Behind aimed to correct vast achievement gaps between white, black and Hispanic students, between the affluent and low-income and what most agree is the prob- lem with the law: If any one of these groups of students does not meet the state’s annual benchmarks for proficiency in reading and math, the school is labeled as “failing.” In a letter sent Jan. 17, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., urged Education Secretary Arne Duncan to require strong accountability measures and ensure civil rights and educational equity gains under No Child Left Behind are not lost. “We fear that putting students with disabilities, English language learners and minority students into one ‘super subgroup’ will mask the individual needs of these distinct student subgroups,” they said. In the feedback provided to states by a panel of peer reviewers in December, many states were praised for plans to institute college and careerready standards and develop teacher evaluation systems that take into account student growth two hallmarks of the Obama administration’s education policy. The panel’s concerns varied, but meeting the needs of all groups of students was one consistent theme. In New Mexico, for example, the U.S. Education Department expressed concern about a lack of incentives to close achievement gaps and hold schools accountable for the performance of all students. In a follow-up letter sent late in January, subgroup accountability was still an area of concern. If Gingrich loses in Fla., can he come back again? ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Can Newt Gingrich come back a third time? If he loses Tuesday in Florida’s primary, Gingrich will spend the next month trying to prove the answer is yes. “We were dead in June and July . but we came roaring back and we will again,” Gingrich said. Still, the former House speaker, who has pledged to fight on until the GOP convention this summer, faces a tough road out of Florida. He plunges next into a scattershot series of state contests where he has little organization and must overcome steep odds to win. Gingrich was hoping to ride a wave of enthusiasm to a win in Florida and beyond, stoked by his decisive victory in South Carolina. But unless he pulls off an upset Tuesday, he will have squandered that momentum heading into states that look favorable for leading rival Mitt Romney. After being battered by the wellfunded Romney political machine, the Gingrich campaign will redouble its efforts to “tell the truth about Romney faster and more efficiently than he can lie about us,” Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said. The calendar works against Gingrich rebounding anytime soon. After a steady march through four state contests in January, the pace quickens before taking a long breather next month. There are seven elections in February, which kicks off with Nevada’s caucuses Saturday. That will be followed by contests next week in Colorado, Minnesota and Maine as well as a nonbinding primary in Missouri. A 17-day break will be capped by primaries in Arizona and Michigan on Feb. 28. The schedule benefits a candidate, like Romney, with deep pockets and a sophisticated ground game and able to compete on multiple fronts at once. Gingrich, who failed to even get on the ballot in his home state of Virginia for the March 6 Super Tuesday primary, is playing catch-up. “We’re behind the eight-ball,” acknowledged George Harris, a Las Ve- gas restaurant owner who serves as a national finance chair for Gingrich and is helping his efforts in Nevada. Romney has had staff in the state since June and has already begun running ads there. And he’s a known quantity in the state, having won it when he sought the GOP nomination in 2008. Gingrich dispatched six staffers to Nevada just days ago and they have rapidly built the operation from the ground up. Maine is in the former Massachusetts governor’s backyard and, in a show of force, he has 40 state legislators backing him. Another candidate, Ron Paul, also has a strong network of support in the state, a holdover from his 2008 presidential run. Gingrich aides are aiming to hang on. “We’re getting a late start here,” said John Grooms, Gingrich’s grassroots director in Maine, who until December was backing Herman Cain. “The goal here is to have a good, respectable showing.” Romney grew up in Michigan and is still looked at as something of favorite son among Republicans in the state. Romney claimed both Colorado and Michigan in 2008 and maintains networks in each state. Just 10 days ago, an ebullient Gingrich touched down in Florida, fresh off his win in South Carolina and drawing cheering crowds of thousands. It was a far different tone as he wrapped up his campaign Monday with a lap around the state. Crowds were far sparser, and although Gingrich kept up the attacks on Romney, he sometimes sounded tired as he raced from Jacksonville to Pensacola to Fort Myers. The Gingrich camp sought to put a positive spin on what is expected to be a disappointing showing in Florida, where the winner will scoop up all 50 delegates. On Tuesday, the campaign said he had raised more than $5 million in January, more than half of it coming since his South Carolina win. Aides said he had raised about $10 million in the last three months of 2011. That’s his largest total to date, but still far behind Romney’s take of $24 million in the period. At a polling place in Orlando, Gingrich predicted the race would continue for another six months. “Unless Romney drops out earlier,” he quipped. A memo from Gingrich political director Martin Baker made the case that moving forward, delegates will be awarded proportionally, meaning that even if Romney racks up wins the delegate count could remain tight so long as the races are competitive. Baker noted that no matter who wins Florida, only 5 percent of the 2,288 national convention delegates will have been awarded. “The campaign is shifting to a new phase where opportunities are not limited to a single state,” Baker wrote. Gingrich aides also said they had succeeded in effectively making the race a two-man contest, with Gingrich surviving as the conservative alternative to Romney. Rick Santorum, who had been splitting the conservative vote with Gingrich, is trailing badly in Florida. Gingrich’s prospects improve when the race sweeps back to the South on Super Tuesday. The Bible Belt is his sweet spot and his onetime home state of Georgia is in the mix with its 76 delegates. “The math doesn’t get better for us until much later in the game,” Hammond acknowledged. Gingrich will have to survive until then. He fought his way back into the GOP race last year after his top aides resigned en masse in the spring. He rallied again in South Carolina after a barrage of attack ads knocked him from front-runner status in Iowa. Harris, in Nevada, says a repeat won’t be impossible. “The thing I love about Newt is that he’s a fighter,” he said. “Every time you think you’ve knocked him down he gets back up and knocks you in the face.” �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Greek debt deal may not equal Wall Street relief By Joshua Freed and Matthew Craft AP Business Writers NEW YORK (AP) — Greece and the investors who bought its bonds have the beginnings of a deal that could avert a disastrous, long-feared Greek default on its debt. But don’t expect a celebration on Wall Street this week. If the deal holds and works, it will help prevent a potential shock to the world banking system. It will also remove one of the biggest threats to the impressive rally in U.S. stocks this year. The problem for investors is that good news — like real improvement in Greece’s long-term finances — is likely to develop in slow motion. Bad news, like a breakdown in the debt talks or a spasm of market fear, would be faster. Punch-in-the-nose fast. “I think they’ll probably be happy, but I don’t really see this accomplishing very much in the long term,” says Michael E. Lewitt, editor of The Credit Strategist, an investor newsletter. “They’re not solving any of these problems,” he says, so if things go wrong, “it’s likely to be a much worse sell-off.” Under the tentative agreement, announced Saturday, investors holding €206 billion in Greek bonds, or about $272 billion, would exchange them for bonds with half the face value. The replacement bonds would have a longer maturity and pay a lower interest rate. The deal would reduce Greece’s annual interest expense from about €10 billion to about €4 billion. When the bonds mature, Greece would have to pay its bondholders only €103 billion. It is unclear how investors who buy and sell the bonds of other debt-burdened countries, such as Italy, Spain and Portugal, will react. If they drive up borrowing costs for those countries, the debt crisis could get worse. Private investors hold twothirds of Greece’s debt, which is equal to an unsustainable 160 percent of its annual economic output. By restructuring the debt, Greece hopes to make it a more manageable 120 percent by decade’s end. Greece’s public creditors — the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank — want the government to cut public salaries further to bring the national budget in line. That proposal has been met with resistance by Greek politicians afraid of losing elections this spring. But they also worry Greece will be denied €130 billion in bailout money if it can’t cut its deficit. The restructuring of Greece’s private debt could still fall apart. If it does, that could mean trouble in the U.S. markets, which have enjoyed a placid January of steady gains. The Dow Jones industrial average is up 3.6 percent in the young year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has gained 4.7 percent, roughly half its average gainfor a full year. If the Greek talks break down, “the stock market could probably lose half its gains for the year,” Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, said last week, before Greece and the private investors reached their tentative deal. On paper, it’s hard to see how Greece could take down financial markets in the U.S., the world’s biggest economy, with $15.2 trillion in goods and services churned out every year. Greece’s annual economic output is €220 billion. That translates to $285 billion, on par with the economy of Maryland. The U.S. sells $1.6 billion in weapons, medicine and other products to Greece each year, a minuscule 0.07 percent of exports. U.S. banks say Greece on its own poses no danger to them. Unlike European banks, they’re not major lenders to Greek businesses and aren’t saddled with Greek government debt. In its most recent report, JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., said it had just $4.5 billion at risk in Greece, Ireland and Portugal combined. That’s about what the bank makes in revenue in two and a half weeks. Some investors worry that U.S. banks would struggle to cover the $68 billion in insurance contracts they sold on Greece’s government debt. That’s hardly enough to pull down the banking system. And the banks have offset all but $3.2 billion of those con- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In other words, pocket change. “The direct impact of a Greek default is almost zero,” Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, told CNBC on Thursday. So what’s everybody — well, everybody but Jamie Dimon — worried about? A breakdown in talks could trigger steep losses in stock markets in Europe and the U.S. It could cause borrowing rates for Portugal and Italy to jump, pushing those much larger countries closer to defaults of their own. A Greek default could unleash a host of larger problems. While some are already anticipated, others are likely to blindside even the closest observers, says Nick Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group. “In any complex system, you’re going to have unintended consequences,” he says. He compares it to the collapse of Lehman Brothers investment house in September 2008: Some analysts saw it coming, but the fallout still caught them by surprise. For a time, even super-safe money market funds were suspect. At a conference on sovereign debt this week in New York, Steve Hanke, professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University, predicted that even commodity prices would plunge in response to a messy Greek default. Traders seeking safety would immediately sell euros and buy dollars, Hanke said. The dollar would soar and prices for commodities like oil and wheat would collapse. A single dollar would buy much more oil or wheat. “If the bomb is set off by Greece, commodity prices will collapse,” Hanke said. Hanke, who has advised governments around the world on managing their currencies, argued that Greece appears bound to collapse under its debts as its economy shrinks. “Greece is doomed,” he said. Hans Humes, president of Greylock Capital Management, warns that if banks and investment funds that hold Greek bonds take steep losses, then Portugal, Italy and other countries shouldering heavy debt burdens can be expected to follow Greece’s lead. Page 4 Wednesday, Febriaru 1, 2012 Enjoy London’s Olympic spirit without a ticket By Sylvia Hui, Associated Press LONDON (AP) — No tickets for the 2012 Olympics? Don’t despair: You don’t need one to enjoy the games and the party atmosphere in London this summer. Although most sporting events take place in ticketed Olympic venues, there is plenty to see and do elsewhere in the run-up to and during the games. From live Olympic screenings in Hyde Park to world music performances by the River Thames, a huge list of free and affordable events promises that visitors — sports fans or not — can get a taste of Olympic excitement without spending a fortune. The festivities kick off months ahead of the July 27 start of the games, as soon as the Olympic torch arrives in Britain from Greece in midMay. Street parties are expected across the nation to cheer on the torchbearers, who will make a 70-day relay through hundreds of towns before reaching the Olympic Stadium in east London. The parties will pile on in early June, when Britain celebrates Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee with spectacular pageants and a flotilla of hundreds of boats parading on the Thames. As for watching the sporting events themselves, London offers several ways to take part on the cheap. The Olympic marathons, which take place in early August, and road cycling races do not require a ticket and can be watched in the streets for free — provided you arrive early to find a good vantage point. Both begin and finish on The Mall, near Buckingham Palace, a spectacular backdrop that’s sure to attract thousands of spectators. Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park and Victoria Park are the other key spots to go to find lively crowds to watch the games with. Big screens will be set up with live coverage of all medal events, and live music and other entertainment will be provided for free as well. One way to set foot in an Olympic venue without a ticket — and even burn some calories — is to visit the Lee Valley White Water Center, which is open for the public to canoe and raft until April and then again after the games. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. The structure, located about 12 miles (19 kilometers) north of the Olympic Park, will host the canoe slalom events during the games, but visitors are welcome to ride the Olympic-standard rapids before the athletes arrive to battle for gold. Be warned that it’s not exactly a budget option, though — tickets to a session of rafting costs $77 (49 pounds). If that sounds too extreme, or if you fancy a break from all that adrenaline, tourism officials have planned dozens of free arts and culture events to coincide with the Olympics. The London 2012 Festival — the official arts festival complementing the games — has music, plays, and carnivals galore, and it promises to let 10 million people attend events for free. One of the highlights of the festival, which opens June 21, is the “River of Music” on July 21-22. It’s a weekend of free music performances representing all 205 participating Olympic nations at iconic landmarks along the Thames. Expect to see the Americas represented at the Tower of London, and musicians from Asia taking the stage at Battersea Park. The other major arts event of the year is the World Shakespeare Festival, which begins on the Bard’s birthday, April 23. Its large program features a major exhibition at the British Museum and productions by companies from Brazil to Russia, including an interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet” set in contemporary Iraq. The productions will be shown across the U.K., and some of the tickets are priced at as low as $4.70 (3 pounds). Special programs aside, visitors on a budget who want to make the most out of their trip to London should consider the many free arts and cultural offerings regularly available in the city. Most of London’s top museums have free permanent collections to suit all interests, while many historic churches around London organize free lunchtime concerts on a weekly basis — try St. Martin-inthe-Fields, next to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. The city’s two best-known churches — St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey — don’t offer free concerts, but they both welcome visitors to their evensong services. Visiting to worship is free of charge (though donations are welcome), and is an economical way to admire the architecture inside these majestic buildings. Most churches post concert and service schedules on their websites. West End musicals and plays are generally not cheap, but there are ways to scrimp. The Royal Opera House and some theaters sometimes have standing tickets in the gallery that cost as little as $8 (5 pounds), while most venues also release returned tickets for a steal to people willing to line up just before shows start. Simply visit theaters early on the day of the show and ask about last-minute options. Rather be outdoors? London is a fine walking city, and visitors often don’t realize how easy it is to skip the bus or the Underground and simply walk from one attraction to the next. Don’t miss taking in the south bank of the Thames, which is always bustling with activity in the summer. One of the best ways to enjoy it is to start at the riverside Tate Modern, an art museum housed in an iconic power station. From there, either walk east along the river toward Tower Bridge, or west toward the National Theatre, which hosts a series of free circus, music and other arts events on its grounds every summer. Both walks are suitable for families and take under 30 minutes. Finally, there will probably come a point in your trip when you yearn for a moment of quiet away from all the activity. To escape the madding crowd (and save on eating out), pack a picnic and enjoy London’s superb green spaces. Buy lunch at supermarkets or Borough Market, the city’s biggest food market, and head to one of London’s many centrally located parks. Relax amid the rose gardens, picturesque ponds and manicured gardens of Regent’s Park, or venture a little farther out — about half an hour by tube — to north London’s vast Hampstead Heath for longer walks, kiteflying or even outdoor swimming in its ponds. Once at the heath, hike up a gentle slope up to Parliament Hill for a breathtaking view of the entire city. It’s possibly the best vantage point for London — and there are no lines or entrance fees.

The host Lady ‘Cats (14-3, 13-0 TVC Hocking) shot 46 percent from the field and limited the Lady Rebels (13-4, 10-4) to single-digit scoring in each of the four quarters en route to ending the guests’ nine-game winning streak. SGHS shot just 32 percent from the field and also committed 25 turnovers, more than twice as many as Waterford’s final tally of 12 giveaways. WHS stormed out to an 18-7 lead after eight minutes of play and never looked back, as the hosts used a 17-8 second quarter surge to take a 35-15 advantage into the intermission. South Gallia never came closer the rest of the way, as the Lady ‘Cats went on runs of 15-7 and 14-2 over the final two periods to wrap up the 40-point decision. Waterford also led 50-22 headed into the finale. The triumph, besides clinching a share of another league title, also gave Waterford a season sweep of SGHS. WHS won in Mercerville by a 60-45 margin back on Dec. 19. South Gallia was 11-of-34 from the field overall and also went 0-for-2 from three-point range. The guests were outrebounded 33-15 in the setback and also went 2-of-8 at the free throw line for 25 percent. Chandra Canaday led the Lady Rebels with eight points, followed by Meghan Caldwell with six points and Ellie Bostic with five markers. Rachel Johnson and Jasmyne Johnson rounded out the scoring with three and two points, respectively. Waterford was 29-of-63 overall from the field, including a 2-of-11 effort from three-point range for 18 percent. The hosts were also 4-of-8 at the charity stripe for 50 percent. Chelsey Paxton paced WHS with a game-high 18 points, followed by Emily Brown with 13 and Kaitlin Pottmeyer with 10 markers.

Old home of Cleveland Indians will get a makeover CLEVELAND (AP) — A makeover is planned for what’s left of the old home of the Cleveland Indians and the 1945 Negro League champion Cleveland Buckeyes, as the city aims to return the site to its baseball glory days. League Park, east of downtown in the Hough neighborhood, hosted its first game in 1891 with pitching legend Cy Young on the mound for the Cleveland Spiders, but it was eventually converted into a park that later disintegrated. Now League Park and adjacent parkland will undergo $5 million in renovations, Ken Silliman, chief of staff for Mayor Frank Jackson, told The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/yB7yM6 ). Silliman said work will begin in late spring or early summer and be finished in about a year. City Architecture is wrapping up plans that include restoring the ticket house and a bleacher wall and creating a Major League-size diamond in the same place as the original. Home plate will go in the exact spot where it rested the day that Babe Ruth whacked his 500th career home run in 1929. Paula Gist, who heads the League Park Heritage Committee neighborhood group, said the project will provide a focus for an area that has seen dozens of new houses built in recent years. The committee wants to raise another $1.7 million for a track and other work. Gist, who grew up in Hough and remembers a vibrant middle-class neighborhood that existed prior to riots in the summer of 1966, said her father, now 94, attended Negro League games at League Park. “This is important to us, to our neighborhood,” Gist said. “We don’t want just a ballpark; we want a revitalization.” She hopes League Park also will become a regional attraction, hosting minor league baseball games and other special events. Plans also call for a community building with a museum, a youth baseball diamond and a field for football and soccer. WE NEED STORIES for our upcoming Faith Based Magazine Travis Heying photo/Wichita Eagle/MCT West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins yells at his bench in the first half of action against Kansas State at Intrust Bank Arena on Thursday, December 8, 2011, in Wichita, Kansas. WVU’s 3-game slide is longest under Huggins CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s freshman-dominated roster is showing its age. For the first time at his alma mater, Bob Huggins has lost three straight games. A combination of mishandled passes, poor shot choices, and a lack of hustle and ball movement has led to the slide. The Mountaineers (15-8, 5-5 Big East) are headed south in the conference standings but have a six-day stretch before its next game to work things out. It’s got Huggins hoping his team can make a lateseason run and qualify for its fifth straight NCAA tournament. “We haven’t played with any consistency all year,” he said. “We get on a run and we’re passing the ball and we’re playing pretty good and some guy will decide he’s going to show everybody he can’t dribble. Or we’ll do a pretty good job of rebounding and all of a sudden … the ball will bounce, and they’ll grab it and put it in and we’re just standing there.” The last time a Hugginscoached team lost three straight was in his only season at Kansas State in 2006-07. West Virginia got blown out at St. Johns last Wednesday, had a heartbreaking loss at Syracuse on Saturday, then fell to Pittsburgh for the fourth straight time, 72-66 Monday night. It dropped West Virginia into eighth place in the conference. A week ago, the Mountaineers were tied for second. Forward Kevin Jones said the loss against a St. Johns team that started five freshmen caused a chain reaction. “We can’t blame it on any- body but ourselves,” Jones said. “It’s hard, especially when you’ve got younger guys. They automatically want to put their heads down and kind of give up. You’ve just got to keep their spirits up and try to bounce back from it. We’ve got a week until our next game. That’s a lot of time to reflect and get better at things.” Guard Darryl “Truck” Bryant said he and Jones the team’s only two seniors plan to say something during a players-only meeting. “We need some wins and fast,” Bryant said. “It’s just rough right now. I know it’s rough for the young guys. It’s rough for me. I’m not used to losing.” It helps to have some luck, and the Mountaineers have been snakebit of late. In the closing seconds of the 63-61 loss at Syracuse, center Deniz Kilicli had a layup that appeared to touch the backboard blocked by Syracuse center Baye Keita, and Huggins said Keita should’ve been called for goaltending. Against Pittsburgh, Huggins was yelling at Bryant in the second half when the coach was called for a technical foul. The resulting free throws sent the Panthers’ lead to double digits. “In my career, 30 years, I’ve had a bunch of technicals,” Huggins said. “I’ve never had one for yelling at a player for not making a rotation.” The steady play of Jones, the Big East’s leading scorer and rebounder, hasn’t been enough to overcome the team’s problems. But during a trying season that’s included using seven freshmen, Huggins has gotten all he’s asked for out of Jones. Jones has at least 20 points in eight straight games, the first time that’s been done at WVU since 1972. He leads the Big East with 15 double-doubles this year. “You know he’s trying to win,” Huggins said. “I think the biggest mistake he can make is trying to do more.” West Virginia is shooting 40 percent from the floor over its last six games. Over that stretch, Bryant, the team’s second-leading scorer, has made just 26 percent of his shots. Huggins also is looking for smarter play from the youngsters, including freshmen guards Jabarie Hinds, Aaron Brown, Gary Browne and Paul Williamson and forwards Keaton Miles and Tommie McCune. West’ Virginia’s depth in the post is also being tested. Backup center Kevin Noreen broke his ankle in the Pittsburgh loss. The Mountaineers already were without 6-11 Pat Forsythe, who played in seven games before a back injury ended his freshman season. It leaves junior college transfer Dominique Rutledge as the lone option behind Kilicli. Rutledge is averaging 1.3 points and 1.6 rebounds. “Dom doesn’t know what he’s doing and it’s not all his fault because we haven’t been able to get him any reps,” Huggins said. “We’ve got to try to get him up to speed.” West Virginia resumes play on Sunday at last-place Providence (12-10, 1-8), but that doesn’t guarantee a win the Mountaineers are just 1-5 on the road. Huggins said he’ll give his players a few days of rest before regrouping. “They are probably as tired of me as I am of them,” Huggins said. “So two days off will be pretty good.” 1 0-0 2, Bunni Peters 1 0-0 2, Olivia Vanmeter 0 0-0 0, Taylor Templeton 1 0-0 2.

Charisma, wit and energy make a close to irresistible mix. Those in creative fields manifest much more dynamic energy and ingenuity. For the most part, your work flows. If you are single, romance might be on your mind more than ever before. You could have several potential sweeties in your life in the next year. Date and make sure you want the person you choose. Someone better easily could be around the corner. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like young lovers. People delight in being around you, as you remind them that romance can stay alive with a commitment. GEMINI is always fun to be around. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Listen to the feedback you get; you might not have seen what others see. Accept different opinions graciously, even if they are not given graciously. The unexpected occurs out of the blue. Curb a tendency to be sarcastic or nasty. Tonight: Where the action is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Stay on top of a situation and be clear about what is going on. You might want to have a discussion involving finances, with an eye to change. Remember, you need someone’s agreement to make this happen, so cut any sharp comments. Tonight: Out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your smile might not work magic in the morning, but by the evening it will. You might not want to repeat the same conversation verbatim — a little change could spark another person’s interest. Examine the possibilities with an open mind. Use care with those who seem to be on edge. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Know that sometimes it is better to back up rather than get in the middle of a major conflict. Your interests will be better served. Someone you look up to becomes difficult and unstable. Accept the situation, as you might not be able to change it. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Look toward making a difference where it counts. Your happy and caring side emerges when dealing with others, especially in a group. You note a conviviality that you rarely see. Let go and enjoy the moment. Don’t allow a difficult situation to develop. Tonight: Only where the fun is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Realize what you are expecting from someone you look up to. Perhaps you don’t see this person realistically. Could that be possible? Rather than scrap about a situation, take responsibility for your side of the issue. Tonight: Others notice you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll get results by pulling back and dealing with a problematic situation through detachment. Plunge right in. You could have a problem. You could discover that a partner or loved one acts in a most unexpected manner. Tonight: Try something unusual or different. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be surprised by what is happening with a close partner or loved one. You work very hard to clear out an issue. Accept the unexpected at work. Work with new technology. Your efficiency and flex count. Tonight: Curb sarcasm. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others have a way of challenging you. Be aware of what is going on with a child or loved one. There might be a side of you that wants no problems. You cannot avoid the inevitable. Confusion surrounds a personal decision. Tonight: Let another person make the final choice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You have been working way too hard for your taste. Be aware of another’s effort; don’t listen to hearsay about this person. Avoid those who are sarcastic and demanding, if possible. You could have quite a shake-up or realization. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You simply cannot help yourself — you feel good and are light and lively. Use care with your finances, as you might not be seeing the situation clearly, could miscount your change or might actually be deceived. Understand your limitations, and remain upbeat. Tonight: Let the fun begin. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might not be as present as you might like to be when dealing with another person. Laughter in your mind surrounds a decision that could make you feel a little silly, mainly because you have worried about it for quite a while. Tonight: Order in.
