Napper family sues over W.Va. mine death
Sarah Hawley

shawley@heartlandpublications.com

POMEORY — A wrongful death
lawsuit was filed in Meigs County
Court of Common Pleas on Thursday
afternoon by the father of the late
Joshua Napper.
Thursday marked the two year anniversary of the explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal,
W.Va., which killed Napper and 28
other coal miners.
The explosion began as a methane
gas ignition then turned into a massive,
chain-reaction blast fueled by combustible coal dust that had been allowed to
accumulate. Ventilation and equipment
problems reportedly contributed to the
blast, which traveled seven miles of underground corridors.

Scott R. Napper, of Langsville, as
administrator of the estate of Joshua
Napper, filled a 47-page complaint
against David Stanley Consultants,
LLC, with the Meigs County Clerk of
Courts office.
The complaint states that, at
the time of the explosion, Napper
was employed by the defendant.
David Stanley Counsultants was
cited for two contributory violations in December 2011 by the
federal Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
The complaint states that while
working as an employee of the defendant, Napper was exposed to specific
unsafe conditions that presented a
high degree of risk and a strong probability of serious injury or death, and
that the unsafe conditions were cre-

ated by the acts and/or omissions of
the defendant and others.
David Stanley Consultants, LLC,
is a limited liability company in West
Virginia, authorized to do business
in Ohio, as well. The company maintains a regional office in St. Clairsville, Ohio, with primary office in
Fairmont, W.Va.
In all, MSHA’s final report on the
disaster detailed 369 safety violations at Upper Big Branch, including
12 it said contributed to the explosion.
MSHA labeled nine of the violations that led to the accident as flagrant, the most serious designation,

and child case manager spent time over the week to turn
the kids’ work into a stunning piece of art. April was first
declared Child Abuse Prevention Month by presidential

Man chooses to hang out with
girlfriend instead of buddies
Dear Dr. Brothers: One
of my good friends is like
a different person when he
has a girlfriend. When he’s
single, we hang out all the
time, and he’s a lot of fun.
When he’s dating someone,
though, he never spends
any time with his friends
or even acknowledges that
he has friends besides his
girlfriend. He just started
dating someone new, and
all of our friends want to
try to break this pattern.
How can we get him to stop
choosing his girlfriend over
us? — J.D.
Dear J.D.: Striking the
right balance between our
romantic relationships and
our friends can be difficult
for everyone, but some
people have more trouble
with this than others. Since
it sounds like this is a recurring pattern for your friend,
it might be hard to get him
to change significantly or
quickly without enlisting
his girlfriend’s help. First,

Dr. Joyce Brothers
Syndicated
Columnist

though, you should make
sure that he knows that
you’re concerned and want
to spend time with him. It’s
possible that he removes
himself from spending
time with friends — especially single ones — when
he’s committed because he
doesn’t think his company
is as fun if he can’t go out

and act like a single guy.
Make sure you talk to him
and convince him that you
still want to spend time
with him when he has a girlfriend. Those of you who
also are dating can ask the
couple to double-date with
you.
If this doesn’t work, you
may have some success
not only by befriending
his girlfriend, but also by
recruiting her to help him
stay social. If she’s as interested in spending time with
his friends as he is, then it
might be easier to persuade
him to be sociable. Also,
convincing her that you’re
friendly and good people
may ease any fears she has
about what her boyfriend
is doing when out with
his single friends rather
than spending time with
her. Make your case in a
friendly and open way, and
you should have your friend
back — at least for a few
hours.

Arthur Wayne Allison
Arthur Wayne Allison, 76, of Bidwell, Ohio, passed away
Thursday, April 5, 2012. He was born to the late Ray and
Eva Allison, brother to the late Harold and David Allison,
and husband to the late Mary Allison Caperton.
Arthur was confined to a wheelchair since 1969; yet
his strength, courage, and strong faith in God helped him
accomplish a feat that proved an inspiration to many. On
October 30, 2000, he began ‘rolling’ the halls of his nursing home after residents had gone to bed. Friends and family tracked his mileage as he ‘virtually’ traveled across the
USA, which he documented daily on his website, with one
working finger and one good eye.
Eighteen months later, he completed his ‘journey’ in a big
way! Arthur was flown to New Jersey to ‘actually’ roll his
last mile across the Boardwalk in Liberty State Park, escorted by cruisers and police officers, with the N.Y. skyline in
the background. On September 26, 2003, another celebration took place in Gallipolis City Park to honor ‘Arthur Allison Day,’ proclaimed by the Board of Gallia County Commissioners. Arthur continued his nightly ‘Buckeye Express’
wheelchair travels, attempting to roll around the world. In
2011, he made it all the way to Australia before stopping
due to illness.
Surviving are his two sons, Henry Wayne of Texas and
Arthur Ray of North Carolina. Also surviving are several
nieces and nephews, cousins and many longtime friends
and family.
A private burial of his ashes is being planned at a family
cemetery in Vinton. Although Arthur’s rolling around the
world was cut short, his journey continues. He traded his
broken body and wheelchair for angel wings, allowing him
to soar places far more beautiful.
The McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel,
Gallipolis is honored to be handling the arrangements for
the Allison Family.

GOP shrinks from battles
with unions in Midwest
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) —
Fifteen months after taking
control of Minnesota’s Legislature, Republicans have put
a gay marriage ban on this
November’s ballot, moved to
expand gun rights and cast
dozens of votes to cut state
spending. But there’s one issue where they failed to get
traction: watering down the
strength of organized labor
with a right-to-work law.
The problem isn’t so much
opposition from Democrats.
And it isn’t a lack of enthusiasm for the idea, which many
conservatives consider essential for creating a businessfriendly economic climate.
The problem lies with Republicans who fear triggering
a huge rebellion among opposition labor unions and sending a surge of sympathetic
voters to the polls in November to vote Democratic.
In Minnesota and elsewhere across the Midwest,
the question of what to do
about the right-to-work issue
is pitting Republican against
Republican, straining relationships among longtime
allies and weighing cherished ideals against political
tactics.
“We wait and we wait and
we wait, and then if we get
the opportunity and we fail

to take it, then the issue is
done,” said Michelle Benson,
a frustrated Republican state
senator from suburban Minneapolis who sounded off
after House and Senate leaders’ recently decided not to
move on the issue.
The passage of a rightto-work measure in Indiana this year emboldened
supporters in Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin
and Missouri to try to carry
the initiative across the Rust
Belt. But many GOP leaders
were instead more impressed
by the furor that the unions
kicked up in defeat. Throngs
of protestors mobbed the
state capitol in Indianapolis
and Democratic lawmakers
periodically disrupted the
legislative session with boycotts. Huge demonstrations
also came after Wisconsin
Republicans stripped public
employees of collective bargaining rights last year.
“Whether you agree with
right to work or not, you’ve
got to agree there’ll be millions of dollars coming in
from other states, and thousands of people,” said Minnesota state Rep. Tony Cornish,
a Republican who opposes
trying to pass a bill. “Buses
emptying out, banners, people camping.”

The Minnesota proposal
had one committee hearing
last month — provoking a
labor protest and AFL-CIO
sponsored TV ads. Although
union membership has declined nationally in recent decades, organized labor remains
a political force in Minnesota,
with the AFL-CIO boasting
about 300,000 members. A
big Democratic turnout this
November could make it more
difficult for Minnesota’s GOP
to defend the more than 30
state House and Senate seats
they seized from Democrats in
the 2010 election.
But some conservatives respond with another question:
If not now, when? Republicans hold more legislative
sway in the Midwest than
they have in years as a result
of that 2010 landslide. Their

We will always remember your kindness.

US hiring slows amid Gallia County Easter services slated
economic uncertainty
The following is a list of
Easter Sunday church services that will be held in
Gallia County on April 8:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market slowed in March as companies hit the brakes
on hiring amid uncertainty about the economy’s
growth prospects. The unemployment rate
dipped, but mostly because more Americans
stopped looking for work.
The Labor Department said Friday that the
economy added 120,000 jobs in March, down
from more than 200,000 in each of the previous
three months.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent,
the lowest since January 2009. But the rate
dropped because fewer people searched for jobs.
The official unemployment tally only includes
those seeking work.
Despite the pullback in March, the economy
has added 858,000 jobs since December — the
best four months of hiring in two years.
A mild winter may have partially influenced
the disappointing job numbers in March. January and February were unusually warm, which
allowed construction firms and other companies to hire people for outdoor work several
weeks earlier than usual, effectively stealing jobs
from March.
But the job market might have bigger problems. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
and other economists have warned that the
economy is not growing fast enough to sustain
strong job growth and tumbling unemployment.
Slower economic growth has led some ana-

lysts to scale back their forecasts for corporate
profits in the January-March quarter.
Weak job growth could threaten a recent rise
in consumer confidence and dent investors’ enthusiasm for stocks. It also could prove a setback
for President Barack Obama’s re-election hopes.
But economists noted that it’s just one weak
month after three solid gains. Many were encouraged by strong job growth at factories,
hotels and restaurants — industries that reflect
the health of the economy.
And government hiring was little changed in
March, a positive sign after months of job cuts
at the state and local level.
“We are disappointed,” said Anthony Chan,
chief economist at JPMorgan Wealth Management. “But when you go inside and lift the hood,
the numbers look a little better.”
Obama emphasized that the economy is still
improving, if fitfully.
“It’s clear to every American that there will
still be ups and downs along the way and that
we’ve got a lot more work to do,” Obama said
during remarks at a White House forum on
women and the economy.
Treasury yields and stock futures dropped
sharply after the report came out. The yield
on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to
2.09 percent from 2.20 percent, while Standard
&amp; Poor’s 500 index futures fell 1.1 percent to
1,374.

Wireless tech improves care
Regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, race, education or location, the number of Americans
who are obese, diabetic or suffer from heart and other chronic diseases continues to rise.
But new technology is helping
to improve patient wellbeing.
By using mobile health
products and services, such as
those offered by mHealth, the
wireless industry is dramatically reforming healthcare via
the three pillars of reformation:
improving access and quality
of care while decreasing costs.
According to CTIA-The Wireless Association’s semi-annual
survey, there are more wireless
devices (322.9 million) than
Americans (315.5 million),
so it makes sense to connect
health and wireless technology.
Wireless health

appointments. If there are irregularities with the patient’s
health, doctors are made
aware via wireless monitoring,
and can properly address the
matter by alerting their patient
to visit the emergency room,
or prescribe medication.
In a field in which every
second counts, doctors can
improve care by receiving realtime delivery of medical tests
and other vital information.

With these tech innovations,
patients can be prompted by
text message to check their
glucose level or take their
blood pressure. Remote monitoring also means medical
professionals can detect health
problems such as cardiac arrhythmias.
Wireless healthcare benefits for patients
• A recent CTIA and Harris
survey found that physicians
believe more than one quarter
of their patients would benefit
from wireless services. In addition, 80 percent of doctors
and 89 percent of specialists
said they want to see continued investment in mHealth as
wireless technology is able to Pictured are, from left: T. Jack Estep, Paul S. Beatty and Paul Saunders.
improve and promote better
healthcare.
• Wireless medical devices
are especially beneficial for
people in rural and remote areas who do not typically have
readily available access to the
best healthcare professionals.

URG, Ohio Precious Metals
create internship program
RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande (URG)
and Ohio Precious Metals
(OPM) have partnered to create a new internship program
designed to give students enrolled in the departments of
Chemistry and Environmental Sciences an exciting opportunity to apply traditional
academic classroom learning
to hands-on work experience.
The program will begin
this summer, offering one
or two paid internship positions that will allow the
students to work as part of
a team with experienced
professionals. For students
interested in working during the academic year, the
program will continue yearround, allowing students a
flexible intern work schedule as to not conflict with
their coursework.

OPM, based in Jackson,
Ohio, was founded over 35
years ago and provides precious metal refining to a
variety of industries. Conor
Dullaghan, Vice President of
OPM, is excited about the
opportunities that surround
the creation of this program.
Such a partnership gives
his company a direct line of
communication with the academic departments that may
be training many of his future
employees.
In terms of the benefit to
students participating in the
program, Dullaghan explains
that “everyone needs that
first break in their career. Participating in this internship
program may very well be the
first break a student needs to
really launch their career. It is
very gratifying for our company to be involved in giving

good students in this area that
opportunity.”
John Means, Assistant
Professor of Chemistry and
Chemistry Program Coordinator at URG, is also very
excited about the partnership. Means explains that
interns will “observe the applications of chemistry and
environmental science in a
state-of-the-art industrial setting. OPM is applying really
neat science in their facility,
and interns will be utilizing
high-end
instrumentation
and laboratory techniques to
analyze metals and other related products.”
Representatives from OPM
will be conducting internship
interviews at URG with student candidates on Wednesday, April 25. For more information, contact John Means
at 245-7165.

Thursday night in a 4-2 loss to TriValley Conference Ohio Division foe
and host Athens.
The Lady Bulldogs (5-1, 2-0 TVC

with a pair of runs in the bottom of the

home. MHS did bring a run home in
the top of the fourth after a triple by
Lisa Marie Wise.
A two out triple by Destiny Mullen
sparked the Lady Marauders in the

Blue Devils baseball edge Fairland, 3-2
Bryan Walters

bwalters@mydailytribune.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — Nothing like
a little two-out lightning.
Brandon Taylor legged out an infield hit in the bottom of the seventh
and allowed Bryant Bokovitz to score
from third, giving the Gallia Academy
baseball team a 3-2 victory over visiting Fairland Thursday night in a nonconference matchup at Bob Eastman
Ball Field in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils (7-3) never trailed
in the contest, but the Dragons (5-2)
stayed even with the hosts through
much of the night. Gallia Academy
claimed a slim 6-5 edge in the hit column and also committed the only error of the night.

GAHS led 1-0 after one inning of
play, but the guests countered with a
run in the third for a tie through three
complete. The Blue Devils again added a run in the fourth for a 2-1 edge,
but Fairland answered with a run of its
own in the sixth to draw even at 2-all
through six complete.
FHS starter Alex Thackston recorded consecutive strikeouts to start the
bottom of the seventh, but Bokovitz
answered with a triple on Thackston’s
first offering — giving the Blue Devils
a potential winning run standing just
90 feet away.
Taylor — batting in the eight spot
— dribbled an 0-2 offering down the
right side of the field and legged out
the infield hit, all while Bokovitz was
headed home safely — giving the
hosts a 3-2 triumph.

Jimmy Clagg was the winning
pitcher of record, allowing two earned
runs, five hits and two walks over
seven innings while striking out five.
Thackston took the loss after surrendering three earned runs, six hits and
three walks over 6.2 innings while fanning 10.
Ty Warnimont led GAHS with two
hits, followed by Bokovitz, Taylor,
John Faro and Justin Bailey with one
safety apiece. Taylor and Bailey each
drove in an RBI, while Bokovitz,
Warnimont and Faro each scored one
run in the decision.
Thackston led Fairland with two
hits and scored once. Eric Riley and
Josh Ross both drove in an RBI, while
Evan Russell also scored once in the
setback.

Blue Angels top unbeaten Fairland, 3-2
Bryan Walters

bwalters@mydailytribune.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — A threerun third inning ultimately gave the
Gallia Academy softball team all the
offense it needed Thursday night
during a 3-2 victory over visiting
Fairland in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County.
The Blue Angels (5-3) snapped a
three-game losing skid with the decision, but the previously-unbeaten
Lady Dragons (7-1) did not make
things easy for the hosts. Both
teams had four hits and were issued
two walks apiece, and each squad
also committed three errors in the
contest.
The difference in the scoring,
however, came in the bottom of the

third frame, as the hosts produced
two hits and also benefited from two
errors and a walk. Kendra Barnes
reached safely on a walk, then Mattie Lanham singled and Barnes advanced to third on an error — giving GAHS runners on the corners
with nobody out.
Heather Ward sacrificed Barnes
home for a 1-0 edge, then Rachel
Morris sacrificed Lanham home
for a 2-0 cushion. Maggie Westfall
reached safely on the second FHS
error, then Violet Pelfrey tripled
home Westfall for a 3-0 advantage
through three complete.
The score remained that way until
the top of the sixth, as Fairland produced three hits and two runs to pull
within one at 3-2. Chelsea Stanley
led the frame off with a single, then
Mackenzie Riley delivered a one-out

double that plated Stanley for a 3-1
game. Haley Woodall followed with
a two-out triple that plated Riley for
a 3-2 deficit.
Caitlin Stone reached safely on an
error with two outs in the seventh,
but that potential tying run never
left first base. Ward induced Stanley
to ground out, which wrapped up
the one-run triumph.
Ward went seven innings for the
winning decision, allowing two
earned runs, four hits and two walks
while striking out six. Chandler
Fulks surrendered two earned runs,
four hits and two walks over six
frames while fanning nine.
Lanham led the Angels with two
hits, followed by Pelfrey and Chelsy
Slone with one safety apiece. Stanley, Riley, Woodall and Kerie Napier
each had a hit for the guests.

Universtiy of Rio Grande softball splits twinbill
By Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Katie
Fuller’s run-scoring single in the
bottom of the seventh gave the
University of Rio Grande a dramatic 5-4 win over 24th-ranked
Campbellsville in the first game of
a Friday afternoon doubleheader,
but the Tigers rebounded to post
a 4-2 win over the RedStorm in
the back end of the Mid-South
Conference twinbill at Rio Softball Park.
The split left Rio Grande with
a 15-14 record overall and a 7-9
mark in league play, while Campbellsville went to 30-14 overall
and 12-3 in the MSC.
In the error-filled opening game,
both teams coughed up two-run
leads before the RedStorm mounted their game-winning rally in the
home half of the seventh.
Junior Kaylee Walk (Unionville
Center, OH) led off the inning
with a walk and moved to second
when freshman Jessi Robinson
(Wilimington, OH) hit a grounder
under the glove of Campbellsville
starter Courtney Turpin for a single to center. Fuller, a junior from
Hamilton, Ohio, plated Walk with
the game-winning run by ground-

ing Turpin’s first pitch into leftcenter for a base hit.
Campbellsville took a 2-0 first
inning lead with a pair of unearned runs against Rio senior
starter Anna Smith (Hamilton,
OH). Bailey Dillender had a twoout RBI double to score Emma
Napier, who reached on an error
to begin the game, before Jennifer
England singled to right to score
Dillender.
The RedStorm tied the game
in the second thanks to three Tiger errors and used another CU
miscue in the third to score twice
more and take the lead.
In the second, Smith reached
on an error before being forced
out at second on a fielder’s choice
grounder to shortstop by senior
Nicole Sargent (Pataskala, OH).
A wild pitch moved Sargent into
scoring position and, one out
later, junior Kaitie Stewart lined a
run-scoring single to left. On the
same play, two more throwing errors allowed Stewart to come all
the way around with the tying
run.
Rio’s go-ahead spurt in the third
began with a one-out bunt single
by Walk, an infield hit by Robinson and a fielder’s choice grounder to first by Fuller which loaded

the bases. Smith followed with a
grounder to shortstop which was
errored, allowing both Walk and
Robinson to score.
Campbellsville tied the game at
4-4 in the fifth when Jordan Cornett led off with a single to left,
moved to second on a groundout
and scored on a single to center
by Kristen Benton. Dillender followed with an infield single to
second to score Benton, who advanced into scoring position on
the throw home, all the way from
second.
The RedStorm put runners on
the corners with one out in the
sixth and the Tigers had runners
at first and second with two out
in the seventh, but neither team
was able to score, setting up the
dramatic finish in the Rio seventh.
Robinson and Stewart had two
hits each for Rio, while freshman
Allison Hurst added a double.
Smith allowed seven hits and a
walk in a complete game effort,
striking out four in the process to
improve to 10-8.
Dillender had two hits in the
loss for Campbellsville. Turpin
also allowed seven hits and a
walk, while striking out four in a
losing cause.
Game two saw the Tigers turn

five Rio Grande errors into four
unearned runs, three of which
came in the second inning.
Heather Oakley reached on a
one-out error and Brooke Boils
followed with an infield single
before Sara Paragon’s fielder’s
choice grounder to third forced
Boils at second and left runners
at the corners. An errant throw on
Kacie Vincent’s grounder back to
the circle allowed Oakley to score
and Napier followed with a tworun single to center to make it 3-0.
The RedStorm, who stranded
runners in scoring position in
each of the first two innings
against CU starer Taylor Wroe,
finally scored a breakthrough and
sliced the deficit to one in the
fourth. Fuller led off with a single
to center and rode home on a
double to the gap in left-center by
Smith. After a groundout by Sargent moved Smith to third, Hurst
followed with a liner to second
that was initially dropped, allowing Smith to score from third as
Hurst was retired at first to pull
Rio within 3-2.
That’s how things stayed until
the top of the sixth when Oakley
reached on an error to begin the
inning, was bunted into scoring
position and scored on a single to

right by Paragon to give the Tigers a two-run cushion.
The RedStorm mounted a mild
threat in the sixth by putting runners at first and second with two
out, but Wroe induced Hurst into
an inning-ending groundout and
then retired the side in order in
the seventh to seal the victory.
Wroe limited Rio to just four
hits and a pair of walks, while
striking out five in a route-going
performance. Napier and Paragon
had two hits each in the winning
effort.
Smith allowed six hits and one
walk, but was turned into a hardluck loser thanks to the quartet of
unearned runs.
Rio Grande will close out the
home portion of its schedule on
Saturday afternoon when rival
Shawnee State visits for a Senior
Day doubleheader beginning at 2
p.m. Prior to the game, Rio’s three
seniors – Smith, Sargent and Allison Mills (West Chester, OH) will
be honored in on-field, pre-game
ceremonies.
A webcast of the twinbill will be
available at www.ihigh.com/redstorm beginning at 1:45 p.m.

Acid-mine drainage ‘doser’ helping balance local stream

By Jim Freeman
In the Open

People living along state
Route 143 or Bailey Run
in Meigs County may have
noticed the new acid-mine
drainage “doser” in operation along Thomas Fork. I’ll
get to what the doser actually does here in a bit, but
first let me give you some
background information.
The doser resembles
a large green silo and it
straddles a small stream
that runs along Bailey Run
Road. The stream, which
doesn’t even have a name
(In technical terms it is
referred to as “TF 15”) is
nonetheless an important
player in the health of the
Thomas Fork watershed.
We at the Meigs SWCD just
call it the “Unnamed Trib.”
The Thomas Fork watershed is located in central
Meigs County and drains
roughly 32 square miles of
land from Flatwoods Road,
the Rock Springs Fairgrounds, as well as the Wolf
Pen, Laurel Cliff and Bradbury communities. Thomas
Fork the stream is divided
into two portions with West
Branch Thomas Fork (identified as “Dirt Creek” in old
topographic maps) draining the area out state Route
143 and East Thomas Fork
draining the Laurel Cliff
and Rock Springs areas.
The two streams merge just

east of the junction of state
Routes 7 and 143.
To put it plainly, the Unnamed Trib is a nasty little
stream, the worst; from
where it meets the west
branch of Thomas Fork to
where Thomas Fork meets
Leading Creek behind
Middleport some 7.5 miles
downstream, it sows death
to most aquatic life in the
form of acid-mine drainage,
water that flows year-round
from numerous pipes and
seeps.
The biggest problem lies
in the acidity of the water
coming from the Unnamed
Tribe and since acids and
bases can cancel each other
out, the fix - at least for the
time-being, until the technology changes - is simple
chemistry.
Acidity and alkalinity is
measured in pH. A pH of
7 is neutral, anything lower than 7 is an acid while
anything above 7 is a base
or alkaline. The scale is
logarithmic, meaning that
something with a pH of 8
is 10 times more alkaline
than a 7, while a 9 is 10
times more alkaline than an
8, and so on. Accordingly,
water with a pH reading between 2 or 3 (like that from
the Unnamed Trib) is anywhere from 10,000 times to
100,000 times more acidic
than distilled water, which
generally has a pH of 7.
In short, the Unnamed

Trib is really bad for fish
and bugs downstream.
So the water-powered
doser, which is filled with
calcium oxide (commonly
known as quicklime or
burnt lime) is essentially a
giant antacid for the creek;
it neutralizes the acidity
coming from the Unnamed
Trib with a heaping helping
of lime. The water flowing
into from the stream into
West Thomas Fork now
boasts a pH of around 11
(which is pretty high) but
it quickly dilutes as it goes
downstream and continues
to have a buffering effect for
pretty much the remaining
length of Thomas Fork.
The doser has been in
operation since Jan. 27 and
has made an almost-immediate impact on Thomas
Fork. Preliminary monitoring shows the doser is
doing its job, but the real

measure of success will be
if the fish and aquatic macroinvertebrates, which have
been absent for generations,
return to the stream. Hopefully that can happen as
soon as this spring. There
will always be a small “mixing zone” where fish and
bugs may not return, but
practically all of the stream
should benefit.
To the casual observer,
there is a ‘sandbar’ of limestone forming in Thomas
Fork; while unsightly the
lime is pretty harmless and
actually helps provide backup pH buffering should the
doser break down or fail to
operate for a couple days.
The doser project is a
long-term cooperative effort
between the Meigs SWCD,
the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources’ Division of Mineral Resources
Management and the U.S.

MLB ticket prices flat for 1st time in 2 decades
CHICAGO (AP) — Major
League Baseball ticket prices are
flat for the first time in two decades.
The average is $26.92 this year,
up 1 cent from last season and the
smallest increase in the survey’s
21-year history, the Team Marketing Report said Friday. That’s a
1.5 percent increase in 2010 and
1.2 percent last year.
The average was $77.36 in the

NFL last year, and $57.10 in the
NHL and $48.48 in the NBA in
their current seasons.
Boston has the highest average for a nonpremium ticket at
$53.38, followed by the New York
Yankees at $51.55.
Moving into their new ballpark,
the Miami Marlins had the highest rise, a 36.5 percent increase
to $26.02. Pittsburgh’s average
increased 15.3 percent to $17.74

and Kansas City’s went up 15.2
percent to $21.84.
The Chicago White Sox cut
their average 28.7 percent to
$29, and the Los Angeles Dodgers slashed theirs 24.1 percent
to $23.22 after seeing attendance
drop last season under owner
Frank McCourt, who is in the process of selling the team to Magic
Johnson’s group. The New York
Mets, coming off three straight

losing seasons, dropped their average 15.5 percent to $27.24.
San Diego has the lowest average at $15.67, just beneath Arizona’s $15.74.
Among premium tickets, the
Yankees lead at $305.11, followed
by the Dodgers ($222.38), Boston ($172.51) and Washington
($166.25). San Diego is last at
$37.83, and the MLB average is
$87.16.

TMR’s Fan Cost Index, which
includes four average-price tickets, two small draft beers, four
small soft drinks, four hot dogs,
parking, two programs and two
adult-size caps, averaged $207.34,
up 2.3 percent. The FCI ranged
from $336.99 for the Red Sox to
$145.94 for the Diamondbacks.
The FCI is $427.29 in the NFL,
$326.45 in the NHL and $301.06
in the NBA.

Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino didn’t want 911 call, called security

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
(AP) — Moments after
their motorcycle accident,
Bobby Petrino and a female
employee told a passer-by
not to call 911, then got a
ride back to Fayetteville
where the Arkansas football
coach was met by a state
trooper who provides his
personal security during
the season.
New details of the immediate aftermath of Petrino’s
crash were in a 911 call released Friday by the state
police. The passer-by, Larry
Hendren, describes coming
upon the accident scene
Sunday evening just after
Petrino and Jessica Dorrell
“were getting up out of the
ditch.” He said Petrino was
“walking, but it looked like
his face was bleeding quite
a lot.”
“The rider and the passenger of the motorcycle
declined us to call 911,”
Hendren told a dispatcher.
“They got into a vehicle
and headed toward the hospital.”
Petrino was taken to a
Fayetteville intersection by
another passer-by. There,
Dorrell left in her own car
while Petrino was met by
Capt. Lance King, his personal security guard during the season. King took
Petrino to a hospital, where
he was treated for broken
ribs and a cracked neck vertebra.
State police said Friday
they planned to question

the trooper, looking for “any
information Captain King
may have learned about the
crash” during conversations
with Petrino.
“While the inquiries have
no direct correlation to the
investigation of the motor
vehicle crash, the questions
are legitimate and worthy
of answers,” state police
spokesman Bill Sadler said.
King has been asked to detail “his involvement with
coach Petrino and other
individuals who’ve been
identified within the crash
investigation.”
The developments came
as Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long considered the
future of the football coach,
whose salary averages more
than $3.5 million.
Long appears to have
everything he needs to fire
Petrino, but the question
now is whether he will actually get rid of the coach,
who failed to mention having Dorrell with him during
the accident and acknowledged having “a previous
inappropriate relationship.”
Petrino was not cited by
state police, and was described by troopers as cooperative after the accident
on a rural road 20 miles outside Fayetteville.
What has him in trouble
is his attempt to keep anyone from finding out he
was riding with Dorrell, a
25-year-old former Arkansas volleyball player whom
he hired just last week. A

clause in Petrino’s contract
gives Long the right to
suspend or fire the 51-yearold coach for conduct that
“negatively or adversely affects the reputation of the
(university’s) athletics programs in any way.”
That language gives Long
plenty of leeway to punish
Petrino, who is on indefinite paid leave after reviving Arkansas’ football program over four seasons and,
until now, steering clear of
off-field blemishes.
“That (contract) is very
favorable to the university,”
said Matt Mitten, director
of the National Sports Law
Institute at Marquette. “It
gives them a pretty broad
range of discretion in determining what negatively
affected the university’s athletic program or what they
think is conduct inconsistent with the head coach.”
The accident and attempted cover-up has become the
latest scandal to hit major
college athletics following
shocking child sex abuse
allegations against assistant coaches at Penn State
and Syracuse last fall. The
Penn State case resulted in
the firing of revered head
football coach Joe Paterno,
while head Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim
kept his job.
The Razorbacks have become a national contender
under Petrino, but next season is an afterthought — at
least for now — after the

stunning admission by the
married father of four.
Long only learned Dorrell was on the motorcycle
shortly before state police
released the accident report on Thursday. Petrino
initially said he was riding
alone after a day off with his
wife at a lake.
Petrino declined further
comment on Friday through
his agent, Russ Campbell.
“At this point, it is in the
university’s hands,” Campbell wrote in an email.
Long has not offered
a timeline for his review,
though he did promise to
move expeditiously. It is expected to include an investigation into how Dorrell was
hired.
Dorrell, who has not returned messages seeking
comment, was previously
a fundraiser for the Razorback Foundation before
being selected March 28
as the student-athlete development coordinator for
Arkansas football. She is
in charge of organizing oncampus recruiting visits for
the team, including initial
eligibility for each incoming player.
Long has been through
tough decisions before, including firing basketball
coach John Pelphrey last
year and guiding the football program through the
unexpected and sudden
death of backup tight end
Garrett Uekman from a
heart condition in December. But he now faces the
difficult choice of keeping

a tainted coach who has
raised the school’s profile or
letting him go.
“They kind of have a
problem if they don’t terminate for cause because then,
if he subsequently does
something else, it kind of is
an indication the university
didn’t take all that seriously
its ability to terminate for
cause when it had an opportunity to do it,” said Ray
Yasser, a law professor at
the University of Tulsa who
specializes in sports law.
Long joined the Arkansas
program in late 2007 before
taking over as athletic director to begin 2008. Previously, he worked at Pittsburgh, where he hired Dave
Wannstedt after Walt Harris left for Stanford in 2004.
Nothing in Long’s career,
however, approaches this
crisis.
“To be honest, I haven’t
stopped and thought about
whether I’ve had these
things,” Long said Thursday night as he announced
Petrino’s leave. “I haven’t
taken a chance to sit back
and think about if I’ve had
this in my past experience.
I can’t recall that I’ve put
somebody on administrative leave from a coaching
position.”
The scandal is likely to be
a distraction for days if not
weeks as the Razorbacks
wrap up spring practice.
It is discouraging news
for fans who have watched
Petrino put up a 34-17
record while becoming a
power in the Southeastern

Conference. Arkansas was
11-2 last season, finishing
the season ranked No. 5.
Petrino was welcomed
and embraced by the state,
even after his national reputation was smeared following a midseason departure
from the Atlanta Falcons in
2007.
Arkansas assistant Taver
Johnson, who was put in
charge of the program in
Petrino’s absence, spoke
briefly before the Razorbacks took the field for a
practice in front of several
hundred mostly quiet fans
Friday afternoon. He said
Arkansas held a short team
meeting and it was “business as usual” as the team
prepared for its scrimmage.
Players were not made
available.
Johnson was an Ohio
State assistant last season
when the Buckeyes were
dealing with a memorabiliafor-cash scandal that cost
coach Jim Tressel his job after it became clear he knew
players were improperly
selling Ohio State mementos but did not report it.
“I don’t know if you can
ever get prepared when
you’re going through tough
situations,” Johnson said.
“However, any type of
adversity, if you’ve been
through it in your life, that
definitely prepares you in
terms of making sure that
you’re mentally strong and
making sure you’re ready
to step up to a leadership
role.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce homered and drove in a pair of runs, and Johnny
Cueto dominated in his first opening-day
start, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-0
victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday before one of their biggest crowds.
Cueto (1-0) anchored the Reds’ first
opening-day shutout since 1980, when
Frank Pastore beat Atlanta’s Phil Niekro
9-0. The right-hander allowed only three
hits over seven innings, and a depleted bullpen finished it off.
Left-hander Mark Buehrle (0-1) gave up
Bruce’s sacrifice fly and Ryan Ludwick’s
RBI double over six innings. Bruce also
homered off Edward Mujica.
The crowd of 42,956 was the secondlargest at Great American Ball Park, trailing
only a playoff loss to Philadelphia in 2010.
The Marlins arrived at 3 a.m. after opening their new ballpark in Miami with a 4-1
loss to St. Louis on Wednesday night. They
managed only four hits off the defending
World Series champions, and weren’t any
better after a few hours of sleep in Cincinnati.
Florida managed only three hits off Cueto
and a bullpen depleted by the loss of closer
Ryan Madson and setup man Nick Masset.
Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect eighth,
and fill-in closer Sean Marshall retired the
side in order in the ninth.
Cincinnati’s traditional home opener
matched two of the majors’ biggest offseason spenders.
First baseman Joey Votto got a loud ovation during pregame introductions, a day
after he signed a new contract that gave
him an additional 10 years and $225 million

to be the cornerstone of the small-market
franchise.
Votto singled and got an intentional walk
in four plate appearances.
The Marlins also went on a spending
spree leading up to the opening of their
new ballpark, shelling out $191 million to
acquire NL batting champion Jose Reyes,
Buehrle and All-Star closer Heath Bell in
a move to make the franchise a contender
overnight. They also hired manager Ozzie
Guillen to oversee the fresh start.
Buehrle struggled with his control in the
first inning on a windy, 60-degree afternoon. He escaped a bases-loaded, one-out
threat by allowing only Bruce’s sacrifice fly
to the warning track in center. Doubles by
Scott Rolen and Ludwick made it 2-0 in the
sixth.
Both starters picked a runner off first, undercutting rallies.
NOTES: The Marlins were the only NL
team the Reds hadn’t played on opening
day. … Chris Coghlan started in LF for the
Marlins in place of Logan Morrison, who
missed time in March with a sore knee.
Morrison played on Wednesday night in
Miami and went 1 for 3. Guillen is being
careful with him at the start of the season.
… Reds manager Dusty Baker recalled that
Guillen was his batboy when he played on
a team in Venezuela in 1974. Baker gave
him a glove to show his appreciation. “He’s
a good tipper,” Guillen said. … Rolen, in
his first game back from shoulder surgery,
made two nice defensive plays at third base
to prevent hits. But he also committed an
error. … Hits king Pete Rose was among
those in the crowd.

Watson misses cut by just two
strokes at Augusta National
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —
Like Freddie Couples, Tom
Watson knows all about
turning back the clock.
He just couldn’t do it
again Friday at the Masters.
Less than three years after thrilling old guys everywhere by making a run at
his sixth British Open title
at 59, Watson had a chance
to hang around with the
kids for the weekend at Augusta National. He wasn’t in
the lead like Couples, but
was on the cutline with two
holes to play.
He bogeyed both 17 and
18 and finished at 7-over
151. The cut was 5 over, and
the 63 players who made it
were the most since 1992.
“It’s disappointing,” said
Watson, 61. “It’s very disappointing because I knew

what I had to do and I didn’t
do it.”
Watson said a bad drive
did him in on 17, and he
found mud off the tee on 18.
He needed to carve his second shot around a tree, and
“just didn’t have that shot.”
Asked if he took any consolation for playing so well
when most guys his age
were essentially done after
the front nine the first day,
Watson said, “I’d feel a lot
better if I made the cut.”
Among the others who
suddenly found themselves
with a free weekend were
former champions Mike
Weir, Jose Maria Olazabal
and Larry Mize, all of whom
joined Watson at 7 over.
Bernhard Langer, who has
two green jackets, finished
at 8 over. Japanese star Ryo

Ishikawa, who got a special
exemption to the Masters,
is headed home early after
finishing at 9-over 153. Sandy Lyle, the 1988 champion,
posted the worst score, a
20-over 164.
Randal Lewis, who at 54
was believed to be the oldest first-timer at Augusta
National, also missed the
cut. But the Mid-Amateur
champion, a financial adviser from Alma, Mich., did
break 80, shooting a 78 that
left him at 15-over 159.
Trevor Immelman, the
2008 Masters winner, made
the cut right on the number thanks to a birdie on
18. Kelly Kraft joined fellow amateurs Hideki Matsuyama and Patrick Cantlay
after making a clutch bogey
putt on 18.
