Of course many say the run is already the biggest in the area, and with well over 1,000 bikes often showing up from all over the Ohio Valley region and beyond to ride on Memorial Day Weekend, who would argue? This year, the 27th Annual Meigs County Memorial Run takes place on May 27 once again, with bikes arriving at noon to the Pomeroy parking lot. The run officially begins at 1 p.m. However, there are some changes this year with the run ending where it begins for the first time in 27 years — in Pomeroy. This year, several Meigs County bike clubs have teamed up with originators of the run, the Meigs County Bikers Association, to make the run epic. Plans have been in the works for months and even include shutting down a portion of Ohio 833 in Pomeroy along Main Street to allow more parking for even more bikes when they inevitably overflow the parking lot. In addition, there will be local vendors on site selling food and beverages. Also, organizers point out all the vendors who will be joining the bikers on the parking lot will be from Meigs County to keep local dollars, local.

GALLIPOLIS — A possible extension of a flood clean-up program funded by a National Emergency Grant (NEG) in Gallia County was recently discussed by the Gallia County Board of Commissioners and a representative of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). During a regular meeting on Thursday, Lori Collins, the ODJFS State National Emergency Grant Representative, was present to discuss the flood clean-up program thus far. The program, which began in mid-October of last year through a $2.2 million grant, employs dislocated workers and long-term unemployed individuals to clean flood debris from local creeks and streams, thereby preventing future flooding. The program hires individuals within a pay range of $11$11.53 per hour for a period of 1,040 hours and is being administered through the Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services and the Gallia County Economic Development office. Workers enrolled in the program also have access to free training, protective clothing and applicable equipment. The program will end on September 30, 2012, according to Collins, and she is willing to file for an extension for the program in Gallia County once 70 percent of the grant is utilized. “Once we reach that 70 percent mark, I will go back and ask for an extension, as well as additional funds. It’s likely that we will get that. There will be a few scary moments are far as timing goes. This grant ends September 30, so I am hoping we are about 70 percent spent out by August so I can start the process,” Collins said. “The last projects I have worked on have ranged from 24 to 36 months in their entirety.” Collins further reported that an extension is likely as, by September 30, flood clean-up will still be needed in the area and local workers will still be seeking employment opportunities. “As long as we can make a justification that there are people still needing jobs and that there’s still work, that is floodbased, needing to be done, then it’s only fair that we get an extension and additional funds,” she said. Gallia County Commission President Harold Montgomery reported that he believes that the program has been a great benefit to the area workforce and he supports continuing the program. “I don’t think we will deplete need and I think it would be a good thing for the workforce,” Montgomery said. “It may be an issue later finding participants, [but,] other than that, I think we can continue to move forward.” Family Healthcare’s Meigs Center to hold open house Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — An open house for the Family Healthcare, Inc.’s new Meigs Center, a 10,714 foot square facility constructed at a cost of $2.4 million on land located near the intersection of U.S. 33 and State Route 7, will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday. Tours of the facility with introduction to the medical and support staff will take place during the open house hours, and refreshments will be available for visitors. Family Healthcare, Inc. (FHI) moved from the Middleport building where it has operated since 2008 as a place for low-cost medical care into its new building located on 13 acres of land owned by the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) across from the First Southern Baptist Church on Pomeroy Pike. In addition to providing medical care, five dental stations have been added. Earlier this month, the Appalachian Dental Clinic in Middleport, operated by the Meigs County Health Department, was closed, and Family Healthcare began providing the service. The Meigs facility is one of five community health centers built and operated by Family Healthcare Inc. Others are in Vinton, Hocking, Perry and Athens counties. An emphasis of the company is to “fill in holes in medical care,” according to an earlier statement by Mike Bridenbaugh, executive director. He noted that patients who are uninsured or underinsured are charged on a sliding fee basis, and that Medicaid and Medicare payment benefits are accepted. The clinical site manager for the Meigs site is Mike Russell with Wanda Edwards as the site manager. The staff includes four front office people, four nurses, two medical providers, two dental assistants, one dental hygienist, one dentist and a dental director. Other medical personnel for both the family medical and dental departments are currently being recruited, according to Edwards. The new building is located in a premium development area, located less than a mile from the new Meigs High School where a new athletic complex is nearing completion and the Meigs Middle School and the Rio Grande ComSee CENTER |‌ A5 �Sunday, April 22, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Ask Dr. Brothers Meigs County Briefs Revival Services WILKESVILLE — Revival services will be held April 2429 at the Point Rock Church of the Nazarene located on SR 689 between Route 32 and Wilkesville.

Living arrangements of daughter bother mom Dear Dr. Brothers: My daughter is in her 20s and has to travel around the country for month-long stays. Someone at her office offered a house owned by her divorced father, who only stays there a few days a month. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of my daughter being in the house alone with a middleage man. When I brought it up, my daughter got quite upset at my “dirty mind.” Is there something wrong with me thinking this way? Or do I have reason to be concerned? — T.F. Dear T.F.: Obviously you want your daughter to be safe and secure at all times, and just because she is in her 20s now and is on her own doesn’t mean you can easily overcome years of thinking about “stranger danger.” Independent young people like your daughter do tend Dr. Joyce Brothers Syndicated Columnist to feel invulnerable, but for the most part they have good instincts and are able to cope with what comes their way. It is your position as a far-away parent that makes you feel so helpless. If you sit down and analyze the situation, your daugh- ter isn’t really dealing with the unknown. She is friends with the daughter, and the family has opened its home to her. In fact, your daughter could just as easily be viewed as the “stranger”! I don’t think it is being irrational to feel uncomfortable about this situation, but I don’t think there’s reason to panic about it either. Perhaps you could ask her to call when the father is in residence, and it would ease your mind. Or have her invite a friend to stay overnight. If your daughter travels regularly and stays by herself in hotels, I believe she probably is a lot more vulnerable to situations with actual strangers on her other trips. She probably has all sorts of skills to handle people that you aren’t even aware of. So stay in touch, but have some faith.

(AP) — A routine bail hearing for George Zimmerman took a surprising turn into remorse and explanation Friday when the neighborhood watch volunteer got on the witness stand and told Trayvon Martin’s parents: “I am sorry for the loss of your son.” “I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am. I did not know if he was armed or not,” Zimmerman said, marking the first time he has spoken publicly about the Feb. 26 shooting of the unarmed black 17-year-old. Obama tour to focus on student loan rate hikes WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will make a three-state swing next week to call on Congress to prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling. The White House says Obama will speak at universities in North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa. All three are key general election battleground states. College-aged voters are also a critical constituency for the Obama campaign. The interest rate on a popular federally subsidized student loan will double in July unless Congress acts. The rate hike affects new subsidized Stafford loans, which are issued to low and middle income undergraduates. While in North Carolina, Obama will also make his first appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show. NBC says the show will tape a special broadcast Tuesday at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The hearing wrapped up with a judge ruling Zimmerman can be released from jail on $150,000 bail while he awaits trial on second-degree murder charges. He could be out within days and may be allowed to live outside Florida for his own safety once arrangements are made to monitor him electronically. Defendants often testify about their financial assets at bail hearings, but it is highly unusual for them to address the charges, and rarer still to apologize. An attorney for Martin’s parents, who were in the courtroom when Zimmerman spoke, spurned the apology. The parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, had no comment as they left. “This was the most disingenuous and unfair thing I’ve seen,” said attorney Natalie Jackson. “This was the most unmeaningful apology.” In a measure of how volatile the case has become, Zimmerman appeared to be wearing a bulletproof vest under his suit and tie, and his parents and wife testified via telephone because of fears for their safety.

He’s not incriminating himself. He is setting up his self-defense claim.” In agreeing to let Zimmerman out on bail, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said he cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. Zimmerman also surrendered his passport. Zimmerman will need to put up 10 percent, or $15,000, to make bail. O’Mara said he expects the family to come up with the amount. Zimmerman’s father has indicated he may take out a second mortgage. MathCounts Local stocks AEP (NYSE) — 38.33 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 18.50 Ashland Inc.

The Team Round is a group effort to solve multi-step word problems. The Countdown Round is a fast-paced, oral competition that pits two contestants against each other and the clock. Jared Kennedy of Meigs Middle School participated in the Countdown Round and, as a result, was invited to participate in the Ohio MathCounts Competition in Columbus. He won a fifth place trophy in the regional competition. Representing Meigs Local as members of the MathCounts Team were Abby Eads, Rainey Fitchpatric, Andrew Johnson and Kennedy. Jake Roush and Tyler Williams represented Meigs as individual competitors. Jullian White was the Eastern Local representative in the competition, and Parker Hill and Joseph Morris who participated in the Countdown Round, represented Southern Local. The coach for the Eastern team was Sarah Lee, TAG teacher. MathCounts was established 29 years ago as a way of inspiring excellence, confidence and curiosity in middle school students through fun and challenging math programs. Leadership comes from the National Society of Professional Engineers at the local and state levels and provides today’s students with the foundation for success in science-, technology-, engineering- and mathematics-based careers. The MathCounts program has received two White House citations as Submitted photos Andres Johnson, Abby Eads, Jared Kennedy, Jake Roush, Tyler Williams, and Rainey Fitchpatrick, left to right, were on the Meigs Local team taking part in the MathCounts competition. Submitted photos Jillian White, coached for the rigorous competition of MathCounts by Sarah Lee, talented and gifted teacher, represented Eastern schools. an outstanding private sector initiative. An emphasis of the program is to provide the extra incentive and the perfect atmosphere for students to push themselves to achieve more in mathematics. Consisting of fun and creative problems that promote critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, the MathCounts competitions feature written and oral rounds, as well as individual and team components. Though challenging and non-routine, the compe- tition problems focus on the 6th through 8th grade standards of the National Council of Teachers in Mathematics. All of the preparatory materials for the teachers and students to use as they prepare for competition are provided. Participants advance through school, regional and state competitions until the final 224 students are selected from 56 states and territories to advance to the MathCounts National Competition which is held in May. want information about this can call Sonya Wolfe at 7421116. The deadline is May 18. T-shirts for the run are available now at River City Sports Bar and Gloeckner’s in Pomeroy. There will also be primitive camping in the area behind River City Sports Bar and the old Sugar Run Mill during the event. In addition, local fire fighters will raise their ladders in Pomeroy, creating an arch for bikers to exit the parking lot to begin the run. Local American Legion members will also be involved in the festivities to recognize the Memorial Day Weekend. In addition, the Pomeroy Eagles will again be offering a biker breakfast the day of the run. Organizers hope by embracing the old as well as implementing these new changes, the Memorial Day Run will continue to roll and roar on for years to come. Bike Run From Page A1 and bike games will take place on the lower end of the parking lot after the run. Live music will also be featured. Organizers of the bike run have received permission from the Village of Pomeroy for their plans, and if all goes as scheduled, it could be a boom for Pomeroy’s downtown businesses and local economy, in general. The run, which remains free of charge, is open to anyone with any bike and will return to its original route this year. The original route travels from Pomeroy through Middleport then to Rutland where it hits New Lima Rd. on to Harrisonville and Pagetown to Ohio 681 where it will then go to U.S. 33 and travel back into Pomeroy. The original route passes the graves of many fallen bikers whose family members often wait along the route to cheer the bikers on — bikers who are not only remembering their fallen friends but are raising money for needy children in Meigs County. The run began, and remains, as a means to raise funds to buy Christmas presents for less fortunate kids in Meigs County. These funds are made by selling commemorative T-shirts at the run and holding cash drawings. Without the run, many children go without during the holidays. Joining the Meigs County Bikers Association this year in organizing the run are the Christian Motorcycle Association, the Devils Diciples, the Reveltorz Benefit Riders and Backroad Bikers. Organizers are also offering an opportunity for others to honor those they’ve lost by placing their name on a memorial banner which will hang on the gazebo on the parking lot and will hang at subsequent runs through the years. It costs $25 to place a person’s name, birth and death dates on the banner.

The Southern baseball team remained unbeaten this season with a solid blend of offense and defense Friday night during an 11-1 victory over visiting South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at Star Mill Park in Meigs County. The Tornadoes (18-0, 11-0 TVC Hocking) outhit the Rebels (3-9, 2-9) by an 8-3 overall margin, but the hosts also benefitted from seven walks and three SGHS errors in the contest — which allowed Southern to rack up runs as the game progressed. SGHS, however, managed to put the first run of the game on the board, as the Rebels claimed a 1-0 advantage in the first after an RBI double by Cory Haner allowed Seth Jarrell to score. SHS retaliated with five-run outburst in the first for a four-run cushion after one complete, then tacked on three runs in the second for a sizable 8-1 advantage through two full frames. Southern added a run in the fourth for a 9-1 edge, then Danny Ramthun delivered a two-RBI double in the fifth to wrap up the mercy-rule decision. The triumph also allowed the Tornadoes to claim a season sweep of the Rebels, whom SHS defeated 17-1 in Mercerville back on March 28. Andrew Roseberry led Southern with two triples, three total hits and three runs scored, while Ramthun added two safeties and a pair of RBIs. Hunter Johnson, Ethan Martin and Adam Pape also added a hit each to the winning cause. Trenton Deem was the winning pitcher of record after allowing just one earned run, three hits and one walk over five frames while fanning eight. Andrew Wood took the loss for SGHS after surrendering five runs, two hits and three walks over an inning of work. Wood also struck out one. Haner led the Rebels with two hits and drove in a run. Ethan Spurlock also had a hit in the losing effort, while Jarrell scored the guests’ lone run.

The Lady Eagles (13-3, 9-1 TVC Hocking) broke through in the bottom of the first with one run coming off two hits. Eastern added two more runs in the home half of the third frame with a two-run home run by Hayley Gillian. The EHS offense exploded in the fourth with six runs on eight hits highlighted by a two-run home run by Amber Moodispaugh. The Lady Eagles added a run on the RBI single by Kiki Osborne that sealed, which sealed the game give Eastern the 10-0 mercy rule victory. Cierra Turley earned the victory for EHS for the Lady Eagles after giving up five hits and two walks in six scoreless innings. Turley faced the minimum number of batters in three innings. Federal Hocking’s Carie was credited with the loss after pitching six innings in which she gave up 10 runs on 15 hits and one walk. The Lady Eagles hitting was led by Tori Goble with three hits in the contest while Brenna Holter, Cierra Turley, Grace Edwards, Amber Moodispaugh and Kiki Osborne each finished with two hits.

Order forms are available at the Meigs SWCD at 33101 Hiland Road, Pomeroy or by calling 740-992-4282, weekdays 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The fish will be delivered to the Meigs SWCD office 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8 and must be picked up at that time. The eighth Leading Creek Watershed Day Camp, for youngsters entering fifth through eighth grades, will be held June 1314 at the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area near Rutland. The day camp has come a long way since the first one held in 2004. That year, campers and volunteers alike were crammed into the newly purchased Conservation Area, and it was rustic to say the least. In subsequent years the camp was held in donated tents, pop-up shelters and underneath trees which more or less failed to provide much shelter from the elements. Of course the area has seen much improvement over the years, and this year is no exception as campers should get the opportunity to “christen” the new permanent latrine facility. Registration forms are available at the Meigs SWCD office or from the district website at www.meigsswcd.com. As usual, camp is free but you must register by May 31.

The Golden Bears had all of their runs and nine of their 12 hits in the third inning of a 7-0 victory in the opener, while rallying for three runs in their final at bat to post a 5-4 triumph in the back end of the twinbill. Tech improved to 28-15 with the sweep and finished the season with three wins in four outings against Rio Grande. The RedStorm, which saw its losing streak reach three straight in the sweep, slipped to 19-18. Head coach Kristen Bradshaw’s squad, which already lost junior third baseman Jaymie Rector to a season-ending injury, played without the services of freshman right fielder – and No. 2 hitter – Jessi Robinson, who suffered a badly sprained ankle in last Sunday’s doubleheader at Urbana University. Rio’s health woes continued in game two when senior pitcher Anna Smith, who had missed five straight games with a back injury before returning to the lineup as the designated player in Thursday’s opener, was forced to leave the game after lining out to shortstop to end the top half of the second inning. In the fifth inning, freshman Allison Hurst, who was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, suffered a knee injury while running the bases and left the game, leaving the RedStorm with the minimum of nine players. Still, Rio appeared as if it would find a way to salvage a split of the doubleheader. The RedStorm jumped to a 3-0 first inning lead thanks to run-scoring hits by senior Nicole Sargent and Hurst and a sacrifice fly by freshman Haley Gwin before the Golden Bears crept to within 3-2 by scoring single markers in the second and third innings against Rio freshman reliever Sydney Morris. Jordan Logan drove in Tech’s first run with a bases loaded single, while Dana Charley drew a bases-loaded walk in the third. Rio got one of the runs back in the fifth when, with the bases loaded and one out, URG Baseball snaps skid Randy Payton Special to OVP THIS SEASON I WANT SOMETHING RELIABLE FS 45 TRIMMER 00 159 00095 $$ Easy-to-use, well-balanced trimmer for homeowner use GLENVILLE, W.Va. — The University of Rio Grande built a four-run fourth inning lead, but needed a three-run pinch-hit home run by Tim Easterling in the sixth inning to pull away for a 7-3 win over Glenville State College, Tuesday evening, in non-conference baseball action at the Sue Morris Sports Complex. The RedStorm, which snapped a six-game losing slide, improved to 26-21 with the victory and veteran head coach Brad Warnimont moved to within one win of 600 for his career. The Pioneers, who suffered their ninth straight loss, slipped to 4-30. Rio Grande built a 4-0 lead by scoring twice in the first and fourth innings against Glenville starter Tyler Reid, but it was Easterling’s two-out blast in the sixth which gave the RedStorm some breathing room after the Pioneers had sliced the deficit to one run. Junior Kyle Perez and freshman Grant Tamane reached on consecutive oneout singles in the sixth and, one out later, Easterling – a freshman from Cincinnati, Ohio – cracked the first longball of his collegiate career to give Rio a 7-3 lead. Rio sophomore reliever Dylan Perego and freshman reliever Landon Hutchison limited Glenville to just two hits and three total baserunners – Hutchison hit a batter in the ninth inning – over the final three frames to nail down the victory. The RedStorm grabbed a 2-0 first inning lead when, after Perez and Tamane began the game with back-to-back hits, junior Shane Spies had an RBI double and freshman Kyle Findley added a sacrifice fly. The advantage grew to 4-0 in the fourth when senior Jacob Cooke led off with a single and scored on a double by junior Vince Perry, who later scored himself as a result of a passed ball.

The Pioneers continued their rally in the fifth, adding consecutive run-scoring doubles by Phillip Longnecker and Ethan Szabo to make it 4-3, but Perego came on to record the final two outs of the frame to keep the would-be game-tying run from scoring. The Redstorm finished with 13 hits, including a career-high four by Tamane. Perez and Perry both had two hits each, while Chapman was credited with the win. Szabo finished 3-for-4 for Glenville. Reid went the distance and suffered the loss. Rio Grande was scheduled to play at Miami UniversityHamilton on Wednesday night. MU-H rallies past RedStorm Randy Payton BG 55 HANDHELD BLOWER freshman pinch-runner Megan Hayslip scored from third base on freshman Maegen Pendleton’s foulout along the first base line – a play in which both the first baseman and the catcher went after the ball and no one covered home plate, allowing Hayslip to score. But just three outs away from a win, then came the fateful Tech seventh. Ashley Gibbard coaxed a walk from Morris to begin the inning and moved up a base when the throw to second looking for a force play on Lauren Hensley’s grounder to third was late and both runners were safe. Jackie Wood followed with a bunt back to the pitcher’s circle, but Morris’ throw to first hit Wood in the back for an error, allowing Gibbard to score and Hensley – who represented the tying run – to go to third. Stephanie Nickell drew a walk to load the bases and Charley walked to force in the tying run. After Emily Geldback struck out swinging, Logan lined Morris’ first pitch into the gap in left-center to score Wood with the winning run. Junior Kaitie Stewart had two hits in the loss for Rio. Logan had two of Tech’s nine hits, while Jessica Stapleton picked up the win in relief for the Golden Bears. In the opening game, Tech’s third-inning explosion against Rio senior starter Allison Mills was more than enough offense for Stapleton, who scattered seven singles and a pair of walks in a complete game effort. Kat Lively led off with a triple to right and Logan reached on an infield single before Katie Campbell brought home the game’s first run with a groundout to shortstop. After a single by Gibbard, Lauren Hensley had an RBI hit and Nickell added a two-run triple to right to extend the lead to 4-0. One out later, Geldbach reached on a bunt single and took second on defensive indifference, setting the stage for a two-run single by Charley. Lively added an RBI single to round out the scoring. Logan finished 4-for-4 in the win, while Lively had two hits. Junior Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH) had three of Rio’s seven hits. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Saturday, closing out its Mid-South Conference regular season slate with a doubleheader at the University of Pikeville. First pitch for the opener is set for 2 p.m. HAMILTON, Ohio — Mark Hildebrand and Eric Britton each had three hits and two runs batted in, helping Miami UniversityHamilton overcome a pair of early three-run deficits and defeat the University of Rio Grande, 11-9, Wednesday night, in a non-conference baseball matchup at Foundation Field. Three other players had two hits each and Jon Lasota drove in a pair of runs for the Harriers, who improved to 19-21 with the win, while avenging a loss to the RedStorm last month at Bob Evans Field. Rio Grande slipped to 26-22 with the loss, which also kept head coach Brad Warnimont one victory away from 600 for his career. Rio jumped on Hamilton starter Kurtis Watkins for three first inning runs thanks to an RBI double by junior Shane Spies and a two-run double by freshman Kyle Findley, but MU-H got all but one of the markers back in the bottom of the first against Rio freshman starter Mitch Martinez on a two-run single by Lasota. The RedStorm again assumed a three-run advantage in the second thanks to a throwing error by Watkins and an RBI single by Spies, but Hamilton scored twice in the second inning and twice more in the third – once against Martinez and once against sophomore reliever David Steele — to grab a lead it would never relinquish. Two-out RBI hits by Justin Carter and Austin Rooke plated the second inning runs, while Britton tripled home a run in the third and scored the go-ahead tally moments later on a single by Hildebrand. The Harriers extended their lead to 11-5 by scoring twice more in the fifth and sixth innings and added another run in the seventh. A throwing error on what would’ve been an inning-ending double-play ball off the bat of Anthony Clark produced the fifth inning runs against freshman reliever Heath Dettwiller, while Hildebrand had an RBI double and Antonio Dozier added a run-scoring single off of freshman reliever Landon Hutchison in the sixth. A two-out double by Britton in the seventh plated Clark, who had opened the frame with a two-base hit of his own. Rio did mount a late rally by scoring three times in the eighth inning and adding another run in the ninth, but the RedStorm couldn’t complete the comeback. Junior Vince Perry doubled home one run and a throwing error allowed two more to cross in the eighth, while freshman Tim Easterling had a run-scoring groundout in the ninth to set the final score. Spies, Perry, junior Kyle Perez and freshman Grant Tamane all had two hits for Rio, while Steele – the second of seven pitchers for the RedStorm – suffered the loss. Clark, Rooke and Carter all had two hits for Miami-Hamilton. Watkins survived his shaky start, working 7-1/3 innings, to earn the win. Mark Pitocco came on in the ninth after Perez reached on a leadoff walk and recorded the final three outs to earn a save. Rio Grande will host its final home series of the season beginning Friday, when Campbellsville University visits for a doubleheader. First pitch for the nine-inning opener is set for 1 p.m., with a seven-inning nightcap to follow immediately thereafter. Saturday’s series finale, which will be a nine-inning affair, is scheduled for 11 a.m. A webcast of all three games will be available at www.ihigh.com/redstorm, with airtime set for 10 minutes prior to the first pitch of each contest. �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2012 C1 Building strength Hundreds take part in Kaylyn’s Walk for Nemaline Myopathy POMEROY — More than 200 participants took part in “Kaylyn’s Walk” last Sunday afternoon, raising over $7,000 for ‘A Foundation Building Strength’. The walk began at the Pomeroy parking lot, with participants completing a 5k run/walk on the walking path along the Ohio River. The Southern High School Reconnecting Youth (RY) and After School Kids (ASK) programs organized and sponsored the event, with all proceeds benefiting ‘A Foundation Building Strength’. ”We chose ‘A Foundation Building Strength’ because it is the only founda- tion that directly funds research for Nemaline Myopathy,” said Amy Roush, RY teacher at Southern High School. The walk was organized in honor of Kaylyn Hill, the daughter of Jerod and Raberta Hill, who has Nemaline Myopathy. Reconnecting Youth is a life skills class that teaches students how to handle situations in a healthy and responsible way. According to Roush, one component of RY is school bonding. “Bonding students to the community, beyond RY class, increases their sense of See STRENGTH |‌ C2 Sarah Hawley/photos Southern Reconnecting Youth students took part in organizing a 5K walk/run to benefit ‘A Foundation Building Strength’ on Sunday in honor of Kaylyn Hill.

Seacrest is heir apparent to Clark’s pop influence LOS ANGELES (AP) — As a kid, Ryan Seacrest idolized Dick Clark. As an adult, he modeled his career after the entertainment giant and helped him carry on with his annual New Year’s Eve celebration after a stroke took its toll. He called the 82-year-old mogul who died Wednesday “one of the greatest influences in my life.” Now Seacrest — uncannily in the Dick Clark mold — is left to carry on the youthful vitality and innovative spirit that Clark used so effectively to meld music and media. And the 37-year-old is well on his way. Following Clark’s playbook, Seacrest started as a radio host before expanding to TV and eventually producing. He’s the voice of his nationally syndicated morning radio show and the international program “American Top 40.” He’s the face of “American Idol” and E! News. He’s the producer behind “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and its associated spinoffs, along with many other shows, including “Food Revolution” and “Shahs of Sunset.” He’s on the red carpet at the Grammys and Golden Globes. He’ll be an Olympic correspondent for NBC and has hinted that he could take on a role at the “Today” show. “Sometimes when I go home and turn on the hot water faucet, I think he’s going to come out. He’s everywhere,” said longtime Hollywood publicist Michael Levine. “In the short term it can provide some annoyance, but in long term just adds to his iconic stature.” Clark parlayed his early radio dreams into a nearly four-decade run of “American Bandstand.” He invested in the artists he promoted there and went on to produce hit shows like “The $25,000 Pyramid,” ”TV’s Bloopers and Practi- cal Jokes” and the Ameri- Ryan can create a ubiquity and a presence on many, can Music Awards.

Stephen Fishler, chief executive of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles in New York, said Tuesday that the 1938 check was auctioned online to an unnamed buyer. “Two people were battling it out over the check,” he said of the furious last minute bidding that lifted the price from its start of $1 last month to the final bid Monday night. The check was made out to Siegel and Shuster and deposited. It includes a line item for $130 showing DC paid for full ownership and rights to Superman. is an injury or disease covered? Q: What is an “injury” for workers’ compensation purposes? A: In general, “injury” includes any injury received in the course of, and arising out of, the injured employees’ employment. However, the workers’ compensation statute specifically provides that “injury” does not include: psychiatric conditions, except where the condition has arisen from an injury or occupational disease; injury or disability caused primarily by the natural deterioration of tissue, and organ, or part of the body; an injury or disability incurred when an employee is participating voluntarily in an employer-sponsored recreation or fitness activity, provided that the employee has signed a waiver of compensation for injuries sustained in such activities. Q: Are there cases where workers’ compensation will not cover an employee’s injury? A: Yes. Several circumstances may preclude compensation for an injury, even where the injury may have occurred on the employers’ premises. These potential defenses include the following: Purposely Self-Inflicted Injuries; Intoxication; Horseplay and Fighting: Injuries sustained as a result of horseplay or fighting are not compensable where the injured employee instigated or participated in the horseplay or instigated the fight. Q: Will injuries sustained during work-related travel be compensated? A: Whether or not a travel-related injury will be compensated depends on the nature of the travel involved. Under the so-called “going and coming” rule, where an employee has a fixed place of employment, an injury sustained while traveling to or from that place of employment will not be covered. However, where travel is an integral part of the employment, and creates a risk greater than the typical commute, an injury sustained during the travel will be covered (e.g., a traveling salesperson with no fixed place of employment). Q: What about injuries in other common employment situations? A: Based upon the case law which has developed over the years, the following rules exist for determining whether or not injuries occurring in other common situations will be compensated through workers’ compensation: Parking Lot Injuries: The “going and coming” rule ends once the employee reaches the employer’s premises. Thus, where an injury occurs in a parking lot owned or controlled by the employer, it will generally be compensated. Where the lot is not owned or controlled by the employer, however, this rule will not apply. Lunch Hour and Break Time Injuries: In general, injuries occurring on the employer’s premises are covered. This rule of compensability extends to injuries sustained while an employee is on a lunch break or other break authorized by the employer. An injury sustained off-premises on a lunch hour, however, generally is not compensated, whether the break is paid or unpaid. Q: Are stress-related conditions covered by workers’ compensation? A: Recall that purely psychological conditions are not covered unless they arise from a work-related injury. Thus, a mental condition caused by work-related stress will not be compensated. Physical conditions caused by work-related stress are treated differently. Where work-related stress causes a physical injury (e.g., a stress-related heart attack), the injury will be covered where it is shown that the employee was subject to pressures greater than those occasionally experienced in most types of employment. Q: Is the aggravation of a pre-existing injury compensable? A: In general, the “substantial” aggravation of a pre-existing condition is a compensable “injury” for workers’ compensation purposes. Such an aggravation must generally be proven by objective diagnostic studies or clinical findings. Q: What is an “occupational disease?” A: An occupational disease is defined under the Workers’ Compensation Act as a disease contracted in the course of employment, wherein the nature of the employment puts an employee at risk of contracting the disease to a greater degree and in a different manner than would be true of a member of general public. A common occupational disease is carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by overuse of the hands in a job that requires extensive manipulative use of the hands. Q: I understand that the aggravation of a pre-existing injury is generally covered by workers’ compensation, but what about the aggravation of a pre-existing disease? Would that be covered? A: No. Unlike the aggravation of a preexisting injury, the aggravation of a preexisting disease condition generally will not be compensated, since the statute requires that the disease be contracted in the course of the employment in order to be covered. Law You Can Use is a weekly consumer legal information column provided by the Ohio State Bar Association. This article was prepared by Brian P. Perry, an attorney with the Cincinnati firm of Dinsmore & Shohl, L.L.P. Happy? Positive outlook may be good for your heart WASHINGTON (AP) — Be happy — it seems to be good for your heart. Scientists have long known that Type A personalities and people who are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks. Now a Harvard review of the flip side of that psychology concludes that being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease. Rather than focusing only on how to lessen heart risks, “it might also be useful to focus on how we might bolster the positive side of things,” said lead researcher Julia Boehm of the Harvard School of Public Health. Boehm reviewed dozens of studies examining a positive outlook — as determined by various psychological measurements — on heart health. Optimism in particular seems key, as a number of studies found the most optimistic people had half the risk of a first heart attack when compared to the least optimistic, Boehm said. Why? Previous work shows the stress associated with negative psychological traits can lead to damage of arteries and the heart itself. Boehm found that people with a better sense of well-being tend to have healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and weight, and are more likely to exercise, eat healthier, get enough sleep and avoid smoking. But she cautioned that it will take more research to tease apart if a positive outlook makes people feel more like taking heart-healthy steps — or whether living healthier helps you feel more positive. The review, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was published Tuesday by the Psychological Bulletin. More research is needed but that link between psy- chological and physical well-being makes sense, said Dr. Elizabeth Jackson of the University of Michigan and American College of Cardiology, who wasn’t involved with the review. Among her own heart patients, she has noticed that those who feel they have some control over their lives and are invested in their care have better outcomes. What if you’re by nature a pessimist? “That’s a hard question. There’s no magic happy pill,” Jackson said. Some research has found that asking people to smile helps put them in a better mood, Boehm noted, although long-term effects aren’t clear. “Sometimes it’s hard, particularly in tough economic times, but taking a moment to just relax and enjoy a sunny day might be good heart health,” Jackson said. several groups, including mild (typical), intermediate, severe and adultonset; however, these distinctions are somewhat ambiguous, as the categories frequently overlap. Respiratory problems are a primary concern for people with all forms of nemaline myopathy, and though in some severe cases they may threaten life expectancy, aggressive and proactive care allows most individuals to survive and lead active lives. ‘A Foundation Building Strength’ was established by Dana and Marc Guillet of California in February 2008, after their daughter was diagnosed with nemaline myopathy at seven months old. To date, the foundation has raised $750,000 for research into the disorder. Fundraising events such as walkathons and bike rides will be held accross the country in coming weeks. Race winners at the event were (male runner), Josh Fogle — first place, John Hayman — secnd place; (female runner), Erin Weber — first place, Laura Pullins — second place; (male walker), Rob Caldwell — first place, Eric Reed — second place; (female walker), Chantel Weisenmuller — first place, Bobbie Sowards — second place. Strength From Page C1 belonging and of having the power to make positive changes and benefit others as well as themselves,” said Roush. “An increased sense of connection will give them a stronger purpose in life and increase their level of school satisfaction.” The walk for ‘A Foundation Building Strength’ is one way students in the class have been able to bond with the community. The foundation raises funds to find treatments for nemaline myopathy, a disorder which is estimated to affect 1 in 50,000 people. Nemaline myopathy is a group of congenital, hereditary neuromuscular disorders that cause muscle weakness, generally non progressive, of varying severity. The most severe forms show up to a 66 percent mortality rate before the age of two. “Myopathy” means “muscle disease”, and a biopsy of muscle from a person with nemaline myopathy shows abnormal thread — like rods, called nemaline bodies, in the muscle cells. People with nemaline myopathy usually experience delayed motor development and weakness in the arm, leg, trunk, throat and face muscles. The disorder is often clinically categorized into �Sunday, april 22, 2012 Sunday, April 22, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 23, 2012: This year you find that your words can make or break situations.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Think Katy Perry and vinyl, and a hip-hugging dress might come to mind. The 27-year-old pop artist is among musicians going old school — releasing music on pressed vinyl records to help celebrate Record Store Day. Perry, who’s too young to have thumbed through 45-rpm singles when she was a girl, joins an eclectic mix that includes David Bowie, Paul McCartney, the Misfits, White Stripes, the late James Brown and The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends with special vinyl releases to celebrate the hometown record store on Saturday. All of that vinyl — more than 300 offerings — represents a bright spot for the roughly 2,000 indie music retailers facing stiff competition from online music sales and streaming music services. “There would be fewer stores, if it wasn’t for the resurgence of vinyl,” said Chris Brown from Bull Moose, a chain of 10 stores in Maine and New Hampshire, who hatched the idea for Record Store Day. Now in its fifth year, Record Store Day got off to a raucous start with Metallica in San Francisco in 2008, a year after the idea was tossed out by Brown at a conference of indie retailers. It’s evolved into an annual event that gave an 8 percent sales bump to stores last year and is now being celebrated around the world in countries including Brazil, Australia, Romania and Germany. For a time, it was unclear whether independent record stores would survive mega stores like Tower Records, and then the move to online sales with the ubiquitous iPod and now the growing popularity online services like Rhapsody, Pandora and Spotify.

Kourtney Ziercher took a picture of her dress in the store to send to her date, Michael George, for her prom last year at Barat Academy in Chesterfield, Mo. “I told him it was burnt orange, and he got the tie to match,” she said. “She knew that it was not a typical color, but the tie I got even had a little design on it that matched the design on the dress,” Michael said, referring to a light tiger stripe print on the fabric. “She was really excited about it. The girl’s dress is a big deal. If the outfit doesn’t go perfectly, if the guy isn’t matching, it’s a problem. I made sure it worked.” In Fort Collins, Colo., Amy Weintraub sent a picture of her chocolate brown dress to her date, Luke Siddens, and he used the image to get a matching tie and vest for their prom last week at Poudre High School. “I didn’t realize he wanted to match me,” Amy said. “He just kind of decided that on his own. It was a little lighter than the dress, but it matched pretty well.” For homemade dresses, ties can always be made from leftover fabric. For a 2010 prom at the Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada, Arielle Roberts made her own dress with the help of a grandmother and aunt. Her date’s mom sewed a matching tie “when the green bow-tie and cummerbund she’d ordered for him weren’t quite the right shade,” Arielle said. But with so many dresses store-bought these days, and with cell phone photos sometimes producing unreliable hues, stores often provide physical swatches to assist in color coordination. David’s Bridal, which expects to sell 110,000 prom dresses this year in 300 stores, sells fabric swatches for $1 with dress purchases. Sarah LaRue, a senior at Sheldon High School in Eugene, Ore., picked out a dress at the local David’s Bridal and was happy to have the fabric scrap to give her date. “It’s a turquoise blue, and with that dress, you need the exact color to match it,” she said. “If it was even a little bit off, it wouldn’t look right.” David’s Bridal also has a partnership with Men’s Wearhouse that makes it easy for young men to get accessories in coordinated hues for their dates’ dresses. Guys can order ties, vests and cummerbunds from Men’s Wearhouse using the same terms David’s Bridal uses to identify the dress colors — names like “watermelon pink” or “Malibu blue” — and be guaranteed an ensemble that works. Amanda Nohrenberg, store manager for David’s Bridal in Eugene, says “90 percent, if not 99 percent” of her prom customers want their dates to match. “If they aren’t coordinating, it’s because the guy is wearing a neutral color like black or white.” Many couples also plan matching corsages and boutonnieres. “The girls are saying, ‘This is what I’m wearing and I want it to match the flowers,’” said Pennylyn Kaine, owner of Blossom & Bee Floral and Event Design in Newfoundland, N.J. Sometimes the boys come in “either with their phone picture or a physical swatch, but now what’s happening more often is, the girls are coming in and picking it out in advance,” said Kaine. “They’re actually saying, ‘This is what I want. I’m going to send my boyfriend in and he’s going to pay for it.’” Kaine, who’s 32, added, “It’s not like when I was in high school and people didn’t care so much. You just got the white minispray of roses.” But sometimes, despite all the planning and purchasing, last-minute improvisations are required. Sarah Perreault’s date “had been obsessed with making everything perfect” to coordinate with her red dress for the 2010 prom at Brunswick High School in Brunswick, Maine. “We were going to dinner and he had forgotten his pocket square,” she said. “He was so upset. His outfit wasn’t complete. So a girl made him a pocket square out of a napkin, and he wore it the entire night.” Luckily, the napkin was red. Elaborate prom invites get new name: Prom-posals NEW YORK (AP) — Never mind a text that meekly asks “will u go 2 prom w/me?” Today’s teenagers are taking a cue from elaborately staged wedding proposals, inviting each other to prom with flash mobs, scavenger hunts, homemade music videos and even airplane banners flying over the beach. And while coming up with clever or romantic ways to ask someone to prom isn’t an entirely new concept, the effort and expense going into the big ask these days has given rise to a new term: Prom-posal. “This year is the first time we’ve done prom invitations,” said Remy Colin, owner of Aerial Messages, a company that charges $600 for a plane to fly a banner with a message on it. “It’s expensive as hell for a high schooler who doesn’t have any money, but we’ve done two in the past three months,” one in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and one in Tampa, Fla. Alex Chichkov, 17, arranged for a plane trailing “Come to prom with me, Kayla?” to fly over a student fundraiser his girlfriend Kayla Bennett was attending at King High School in Tampa in March. “I’ve seen it for weddings and I wanted to do something huge or unique,” said Alex, a senior who paid for the flyover with money he earned working at a family business. “I didn’t want to do anything generic. In the history of the school, no one has done anything that big. It’s going to be my only prom, first time ever, last time ever, with someone who’s been my girlfriend for two and a half years, so it deserves to be that big.” The plane flew over a student Relay for Life event, which raises money for the American Cancer Society, right before the talent show, while a sound system played a Michael Buble cover of the Frank Sinatra song, “Come Fly With Me.” “Everyone was cheering and she had the biggest smile on her face,” Alex said. Naturally, Kayla said yes. Rebecca Leet, 17, had an audience of over 250 people for a prom-posal from her boyfriend, Joe Nelson, 18. Rebecca and Joe both worked on a school performance of “Thoroughly Modern Millie” at Collierville High School in Collierville, Tenn. At the end of the show, their teacher, Keith Salter, told the audience to stay put for one more thing. Joe came out on stage, got down on one knee and pulled out a box with a ring in it. “It’s not what you think!” Salter quickly assured the audience, as some gasped, thinking it was a teenage marriage proposal. Then Joe popped the question — the prom question. “She got all teary and said yes,” Joe said. “It made my day just knowing I did something memorable and she really enjoyed it.” Nancy Darling, an Oberlin College professor of psychology who studies adolescent development, said teenage relationships go through stages, one of which is taking the romance public. “It’s a public declaration of ‘I really want to go to the prom, and I like you!’” she said. She added that despite stereotypes of teens “as sex-driven and aggressive,” data shows kids are now becoming “more conservative” socially, with less sexual intercourse than previous generations. “We’re back to being romantic,” she said. And while some prom-posals come from girls, most are planned by boys, letting them show off “this whole sweet side that doesn’t get a lot of chance to come up,” said Darling. “We’ve really underestimated the romance of guys.” The Heart Bandits, a “romance event coordinating company” that usually arranges marriage proposals, has, for the first time this year, gotten requests for help with prom-posals, said Michele Velazquez, co-owner of the company. The Heart Bandits created a scavenger hunt in Santa Monica, Calif., that led a girl to a classroom with candles, rose petals and her prospective date holding a “Will you go to prom?” sign. In Michigan, signs were posted on a road ending with an invitation to prom. Velazquez said she’s had inquiries from other teens, but most can’t afford the $300 pricetag. But many prom-posals are creative without costing a fortune. In East Greenwich, R.I., baker Michael Valente at Felicia’s Coffee got an order for a cake with a frosting heart and the words, “Juliana, Prom?” ”It was something new for me,” Valente said. “But I think it was so sweet.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
