Sisson has served as a member of council for the past eight years, having been re-elected for the final time in November 2009. In a copy of the resignation letter given to The Daily Sentinel, Sisson writes, “It is with deep sadness that I hereby submit my resignation as council member for the Village of Pomeroy effective immediately. As a member of council for the past eight years, is has been my pleasure to help make Pomeroy a better place to work and live. I have never had an agenda to profit from me being a member of council.” “The past six months have been very difficult for me and my family. There has been a publication on the Internet that stated blatant lies about me and another council member. Although I have a pretty good idea who was involved with this publication, no one will profit from me calling more attention to these allegations.

There was no second to the motion, with council deciding the vacant seat and resumes should be listed as part of the council article to be published in The Daily Sentinel. Council President Jackie Welker then nominated Dru Reed for the vacant seat, with McAngus stating that council had agreed to take resumes and a nomination should not be made. Council member Phil Ohlinger seconded the motion by Welker, leading to a vote on the nomination. Reed’s appointment was approved by a 4-1 vote, with council member Ruth Spaun voting no. Spaun stated that her vote did not concern the person being nominated, but the manner in which the action was taken. “Dru would make and excellent person (for the seat), we are just moving too fast,” said Spaun. On Tuesday, Welker stated that he had spoken to Reed who was excited for the opportunity. The next council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on May 24, moving the meeting from the fourth Monday of the month which is Memorial Day. More on Monday’s council meeting will appear in the Thursday edition of The Daily Sentinel.

Facebook raises IPO price as offering nears NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook is raising the price range at which it plans to sell stock to the public. The social networking company said in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it expects to sell its stock for between $34 and $38 per share. That’s higher than a previous range of $28 to $35. The increased range is a sign of high demand from investors to own a piece of the world’s most popular social network. The initial public offering is the most hotly anticipated in years and would value Facebook at more than $100 billion. The IPO is expected to be completed late Thursday, with shares to start trading Friday. Facebook has more than 900 million users who log in at least once a month. Facebook also adjusted the timetable for finishing its $1 billion acquisition of Instagram. In Tuesday’s filing, Facebook said it expected the deal to close sometime in 2012. Previously, it had said it expected to complete the deal in the second quarter. Some have speculated that the acquisition of the photo-sharing network would come under regulatory scrutiny. If the deal doesn’t close by Dec. 10, Facebook could have to pay Instagram a breakup fee of $200 million. Facebook Inc.’s IPO is expected to be the largest ever for an Internet company. It is expected to raise more than 10 times as much as the $1.67 billion raised in Google Inc.’s 2004 IPO. �Wednesday, May 16, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com The FAC sets audition dates OU offers summer for summer productions international program GALLIPOLIS — The French Art Colony’s (FAC) Riverby Theater Guild, now in its third season, has set audition and performance dates for summer 2012 productions. Auditions for all productions will be held at the French Art Colony, 530 First Avenue, Gallipolis. No prior stage experience is needed to audition and the group actively seeks new participants in each project. Those wishing to audition for any RTG production must be prepared to provide complete rehearsal availability for the entire rehearsal period at the time of audition. Rehearsal availability is a crucial factor in casting actors for roles. Some limited conflicts may be accommodated, at the discretion of the director. The first production to hold auditions will be, “Laura Ingalls Wilder; Voice of the Prairie”. The play with music tells the amazing life story of one of the best known American authors, Laura Ingalls Wilder, creator of the Little House on the Prairie books. Auditions will be May 17 and 21, at 6 p.m. each night. Various roles are available for teens and adults. Limited youth roles are available. This production will include the use of a small chorus. The chorus will be cast with singers, age 10 and older. Auditions for the chorus will take place on the scheduled audition dates as well and music may be picked up in advance at the French Art Colony. The production is directed by Lori Sanders. “Laura Ingalls Wilder; Voice of the Prairie” will perform at the Bob Evans Farm Amphitheater, in Rio Grande, July 27 and 28, at 7 p.m., and July 29 at 3 p.m. The RTG summer youth production is, “Fairy Tale Courtroom”. The comedy is fun for the whole family, and dramatizes the trials of two of fairy tale’s most dastardly, and possibly most misunderstood villains; the Big Bad Wolf and the Wicked Witch. The audience joins in the fun as they serve as the jury in both cases. Numerous roles for youth, teens, and a few adults are available in this production. Auditions for “Fairy Tale Courtroom” will be held June 14 at 6 p.m. and June 16 at 11 a.m. Auditions packets may be picked up in advance at the French Art Colony, beginning June 1. Advance preparation is suggested, but not required. The production will be directed by Joseph Wright and Christina Cogar. “Fairy Tale Courtroom” will perform on the lawn at the French Art Colony, on Friday, August 17 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, August 18, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The classic O. Henry tale, “The Ransom of Red Chief” will come to life in a September production by the Riverby Theater Guild. Directed by Ron Siders, the hilarious comedy has great roles for children, teens and adults. Auditions will be July 26, at 6 p.m. and July 28, at 11 a.m. The production will perform on Saturday, September 29 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., and September 30 at 3 p.m. The Riverby Theater Guild’s Puppet Playhouse will perform various times throughout the summer, including “The RTG Puppet Playhouse Summer Spectacular”, scheduled for Sunday, June 10 at 3 p.m., at the French Art Colony. The event will include puppet performances, puppet-making activities, and more. RTG Puppet Playhouse team is seeking volunteer youth, teen and adult puppeteers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A private organization established to run a third-party candidate in this year’s presidential elections has thrown in the towel, saying no one mustered sufficient support for such an effort. Kahlil Byrd, chief executive officer of Americans Elect, said in a statement that under the rules his group approved for an online primary, the process was ending Tuesday. Third party presidential candidacies have rarely succeeded in U.S. politics, and Americans Elect had hoped to conduct the “Americans Elect Online Convention” this June. But Byrd said that “as of today, no candidate has reached the national support threshold required” to enter the online convention. He added that there still is “an almost universal desire among delegates, leadership and millions of Americans who have supported AE to see a credible candidate emerge from this process.” The group was counting on a flood of candidates to compete for its valuable ballot space. To ensure someone credible emerged in the end, the group’s bylaws required prospective nominees to demonstrate support up front. Established political and business leaders needed to get preliminary votes of support from at least 1,000 people in each of at least 10 states; lesser-known people faced a bar five times higher. To date, a draft movement for Republican Ron Paul was the closest. Of declared candidates, former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer was the leader but still more than 4,000 votes shy. Americans Elect canceled three rounds of voting that was to precede a national online convention. Now organizers are trying to figure out what to do next. mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com Third party group gives up seeking a candidate ATHENS — Ohio University is offering to area high school students a program called “Go International,” a one-week multicultural event giving students a taste of university life in an international setting. The Ohio Program of Intensive English (O.P.I.E.) is geared to 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. In the program students will have the option to live in an Ohio University dormitory with Japanese students; learn basic Japanese and cross-cultural commu- nication by studying and socializing with high school students from Tokyo, and have fun by participating in afternoon activities and field trips. Each one will receive a certificate for completing the program. This year two one-week sessions are being offered and students can attend one or both. The first session will be held from Monday, July 23 to Friday, July 27, and the second session will be held from July 30 through Friday, Aug. 3. There are two options on cost, $230 which includes room Sunday night through Friday afternoon, meals, classes and activities, or $60 for those who live in the Athens area and choose not to stay in a dorm, also including classes, lunch, activities and field trips. For more information or to register for the program, contact Nicholas Norman, Special Programs Assistant, Ohio Program of Intensive English, Ohio University, Athens; telephone 216-4061520 or e-mail Normann@ ohio.edu Plans for URG Bob Evans play announced RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/ Rio Grande Community College and Bob Evans Farms are creating a new play about the life of Bob Evans and are looking for help from area residents. “We are looking for some people who knew Bob and would like to share some of their personal stories about him,” said Greg Miller, Ph.D., Director of Cultural Advancement at Rio Grande. The project is a collaboration between Bob Evans Farms, Rio Grande, the Rio Grande Theater Department and the Madog Center for Welsh Studies. The Evans family is also cooperating with the project. The play producers have already collected several stories about Evans that they can use in the play, but they are looking for more from area residents. Stories can be from Evans’ childhood, his work, times from when he was hunting or fishing, his work with 4-H, his service as a political figure, his travels or anything else that helps to tell about his life. The play producers will then take the different stories, and weave them together into a play that will be staged at Bob Evans Farms on July 13 and 14. Jeanne Jones Jindra, di- Bob Evans rector of the Madog Center, said that the play producers also plan to use video interviews from a special program that a Welsh television station did on Evans. The interviews will be shown during the play, and will allow audience members to hear from Evans himself. Many people around the country know a little bit about Bob Evans and his success in the business world, but this play will let them know more about Bob Evans the person. He has a fascinating story, and area residents now have the opportunity to help tell the story by sharing their own personal experiences with him. The producers are especially looking for the out-of-the ordinary stories from Evans’ life in southern Ohio. He was a well-known and popular figure in the re- gion, and many people may enjoy discussing the different times they spent with him. After all of the stories are collected and the play has been written, the producers will then enlist local actors for the production. Additional details on the July 13 and July 14 productions of the play will be announced as the dates draw closer. All area residents who know Evans are strongly encouraged to share their stories about him, even if they do not think the stories might be unique. All area residents who would like to share their stories about Bob Evans should call Greg Miller or Jeanne Jones Jindra at 1-800-282-7201. Area residents can also send an email to Miller at gmiller@ rio.edu, or send an e-mail to Jindra at jjindra@rio.edu. The play producers will also hold a special session on May 22 in the Rio Room at the Bob Evans restaurant in Rio Grande, and area residents will be able stop in between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.to share their stories.

Clock ticking with new plan to fight Alzheimer’s WASHINGTON (AP) — The clock is ticking: The first National Alzheimer’s Plan sets a deadline of 2025 to finally find effective ways to treat, or at least stall, the mind-destroying disease. The Obama administration finalizes the landmark national strategy on Tuesday, laying out numerous steps the government and private partners can take over the coming years to fight what is poised to become a defining disease of the rapidly aging population. But some of the work is beginning right away. Starting Tuesday, embattled families and caregivers can check a new one-stop website — www.alzheimers.gov — for easy-to-understand information about dementia and where to get help in their own communities. The National Institutes of Health is funding some major new studies of possible therapies, including a form of insulin that’s squirted into the nose. “These actions are the cornerstones of an historic effort to fight Alzheimer’s disease,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. She was announcing the steps Tuesday at the NIH. The first National Alzheimer’s Plan comes as the world’s top Alzheimer’s scientists are gathered at the NIH this week to debate what research needs to be given priority in order to meet that ambitious 2025 deadline. They said it may be time to start testing potential therapies differently, before people have fullblown Alzheimer’s symptoms, when it may be too late to help. “There’s a sense of optimism” thanks to some new discoveries, Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told scientists at the Alzheimer’s Research Summit on Monday. But, “we need to figure out exactly where is the best window of opportunity” to battle back Alzheimer’s, Collins said. He noted that cardiologists don’t test cholesterol-lowering drugs on people already near death from heart failure. It’s clear that Alzheimer’s quietly brews in the brain, killing off cells, for 10 years or more before symptoms appear, Dr. Reisa Sperling of Harvard Medical School told the meeting. She called that time period an important opportunity to try to stave off the disease, at least postponing the memory loss and other symptoms. Already, 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Barring a research breakthrough, those numbers will rise significantly by 2050, when up to 16 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimer’s. Already, it’s the sixth-leading killer, and there is no cure. Treatments only temporarily ease some symptoms. Beyond the suffering, it’s a budget-busting disease for Medicare, Medicaid and families. Caring for people with dementia will cost the U.S. $200 billion this year alone, and $1 trillion by 2050, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates. Even that staggering figure doesn’t fully reflect the toll. Sufferers lose the ability to do the simplest activities of daily life and can survive that way for a decade or more. Family members provide most of the care, unpaid, and too often their own health crumbles under the stress. So the National Alzheimer’s Plan, required by Congress, takes a two-pronged approach: focusing on future treatments plus help for families suffering today. “There is a reinvigorated focus on this disease,” Donald Moulds of HHS told The Associated Press. Among the first steps: —A planned $8 million study of an insulin nasal spray that pilot-testing suggests could help Alzheimer’s. It’s based on growing evidence that diabetes and Alzheimer’s are related, damaging how the brain is fueled. The insulin nasal spray can reach the brain without affecting bloodsugar levels. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Yo-Yo Economics? Exports from hell By Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson President Obama recently referred to free-market economics as “you’re-onyour-own economics.” It’s a catchy phrase—rhythmic, alliterative, clever. Too bad it’s bunk. The only genuine “you’re on your own economics”— let’s call it “yo-yo economics,” for short—is known as “Robinson Crusoe economics.” It applies only to those who really are on their own, like sole inhabitants of islands or hermits. Apart from those oddities, human beings don’t live in solitude, but are interdependently connected in a social division of labor. In a free-market economy, individuals typically prosper to the extent that they contribute economic value to others. Those who earn high incomes are generally producing more of what people value than those earning lower incomes. To President Obama and his ideological kindred, social justice consists of government overseeing a compulsory redistribution of property from the productive to the less productive. Disdaining free markets as “yo-yo economics,” Obama advocates a radically different agenda—what we might call “we’ll always take care of you” economics, or, to use another child’s toy as an acronym, “BB economics” (as in “Big Brother economics”). We may concede to the president that, in a free market, some people will be in need. These include children, the sick and disabled, and even some healthy, involuntarily unemployed adults. It is a non sequitur, though, to conclude that the federal government must provide economic support to those people. Relatives, friends, neighbors, churches, voluntary community organizations, etc., can address those needs at far less cost and with a much more personal touch than can federal bureaucracies. Even if one believes that government must be involved, local, county, and state governments are closer to the situation than Uncle Sam. The declaration that federal programs are not essential is anathema to the president’s belief in BB economics. According to him, yo-yo economics “has been tried in history and it hasn’t worked. It didn’t work when we tried it in the decade before the Great Depression. It didn’t work when we tried it in the last decade.” Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Let’s correct those errors with facts. 1) What the president belittles as “yo-yo economics”—that is, a system characterized by voluntary economic transactions— predominated for the first 125 years of our history. The glaring and regrettable exception, of course, was slavery. The salient historical fact here is that during the period of yo-yo economics, the United States developed into the richest country in the world. Contrary to the president’s counterfactual statement, “yo-yo economics” did work. 2) Later in our history, in the 1920s and 1930s, the superiority of the free-market/ yo-yo over the governmentintervention/BB model was clearly demonstrated. The depression of 1920-21 was as severe and rapid an economic contraction as any in U.S. history. Unlike the contraction in 1929-30 that eventually persisted for 12 years, the severe depression in the early ‘20s ended in 1922. By 1923, the economy was firing on all cylinders. Why? The policy response of the Harding-Coolidge administration was to cut tax rates and slash government spending—basically to get government out of the way to let free markets make the necessary price adjustments. In the 1920s, yo-yo economics was an indisputable success. Obama’s insistence that “it didn’t work when we tried it in the The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In stark contrast to the successful policy response in the early ‘20s, Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt opted for BB economics: massive tax increases, government spending, new regulations. The result was the 12 years of made-in-Washington misery that became known as the Great Depression. Ignoring that grim historical lesson, Obama has persisted in pushing 1930s-style, debt-financed, “stimulus” spending and a huge expansion of government power over economic activity. 3) President Obama’s third historical inaccuracy was that “we tried [yo-yo economics] in the last decade” under George W. Bush and “it didn’t work.” Here, the president is halfright. It’s true that the last decade’s overall economic performance was inferior. The problem with the president’s statement is that George W. Bush’s policies were the antithesis of yoyo economics—everything from the addition of a new federal entitlement (Medicare Part D) to Wall Street bailouts to expanding the annual federal budget from $2 to $3 trillion per year in only eight years. The president’s aggressive historical revisionism is no mere academic debate. We’re not dealing here with inconsequential trivia like his 2008 gaffe about having visited 57 states. The stakes are much greater. Obama has contrived a historical narrative that justifies the kinds of economic policies that retard rather than promote prosperity. The truth will make us free—and falsehood will make us less free. Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and fellow for economic and social policy with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. By Bruce Ferguson The U.S. is destroying itself to feed foreign energy markets. Anyone who has witnessed the coal extraction process known as mountaintop removal (MTR) has been shocked. The name is perfectly descriptive—tops of mountains are blasted away and bulldozed into valleys to expose underlying coal seams that can be cheaply and efficiently extracted. MTR is violence and destruction on a scale we associate with war, not industrial activity. As in any war, there are lots of explosions—every day in central Appalachia thousands of tons of high explosives are detonated. And there are casualties— dozens of people have been killed by floods, mudslides, and overloaded coal trucks. One threeyear-old boy was crushed in his bed when a boulder from an MTR site crashed through his home as he lay sleeping. The mining company called the death an “act of God” and paid a fifteen thousand dollar fine for illegally operating the equipment that dislodged the boulder. These are the obvious casualties. It’s much harder to count the number of premature deaths from cancer, kidney failure, liver failure and birth defects caused by breathing the polluted air and drinking the contaminated water that are the natural byproducts of MTR. By the end of this 2012, it’s estimated that more than twelve hundred square miles of Appalachian forests will have been wiped out by MTR—that’s an area the size of the state of Rhode Island. The impact on human health, biodiversity, air, and water quality is so extreme that you have to assume that the U.S. is permitting MTR only Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

But in fact, the acceleration of MTR over the past two decades has accompanied a robust coal export market that has expanded rapidly in the past five years. It turns out that we are destroying entire regions of our country to meet the energy demands of other nations. Welcome to America, the new third world. It’s astonishing that the tragedy of MTR continues to be ignored by our political leaders and the press. If more than a thousand square miles of America had been laid waste by a foreign enemy, or some cataclysmic act of nature, it would be the media story of the century. But coal corporations are systematically obliterating central Appalachia, and it’s as if the destruction is invisible, or is happening somewhere else, not in our own backyard. Now, rather than moving to stem MTR, the U.S. is about to embark on another ruinous enterprise, one that will also pollute the air, poison drinking water, and may trigger an unprecedented health crisis. And once again, it’s all about exports. That is to say, it’s all about money. High-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF, or fracking) is a relatively new technology first tested in the Barnett Shale fields of North Texas in the late 1990s. The basic principle is simple—and frightening. Inject millions of gallons of toxic fluids underground and create enough pressure to pulverize the rock that contains the deposits of oil or gas. In MTR, the rock is smashed in the open air; in HVHF, it’s smashed thousands of feet below the surface. The underground injection of vast quantities of toxic fluid has obvious risks, and HVHF has already been linked to over a thousand instances of water contamination around the nation. A peer-reviewed scientific study has shown that the extraction and transmission of shale gas releases so much methane into the atmosphere that it actually has a greater greenhouse emissions footprint than coal. Another peerreviewed study has shown drinking water wells near shale gas wells are seventeen times more likely to be contaminated with methane than other wells in the area. The industry is waving the flag of energy independence to get Americans to overlook the risks and buy into fracking, but the rush to produce shale gas has little to do with domestic energy needs. At the same time, the industry is sounding patriotic themes, it is also planning to build the infrastructure that will allow it to ship huge quantities of shale gas to overseas markets, where it will command prices that are five, or six, or seven times higher than they are here at home. In a few years the U.S. will go from being an importer of natural gas to being a major exporter. In fact, we may end up exporting shale gas to countries, such as France, that have decided that fracking is much too risky to be permitted. But France doesn’t have to worry, it can always protect public health and its environment by relying on shale gas from that sacrificial energy colony across the Atlantic—the United States of America.

Wahama had 17 competitors — a dozen boys and five girls — qualify in a total of 13 state events next weekend at Laidley Field, which includes 11 boys events and two girls contests. The Wildcats will also have one male athlete competing at the state level next weekend. The White Falcons finished fifth overall out of nine teams in the Region 4A meet with 61 points, and the Red and White also earned a pair of individual regional titles along the way. Jacob Ortiz was a double-winner in the 100m and 200m dashes with respective times of 11.50 seconds and 23.71 seconds. The 4x100m relay team of Ortiz, Jacob Buzzard, Benny Youkers and Crandale Neal was second with a time of 45.81 seconds, while the 4x200m squad of Ortiz, Buzzard, Ortiz and Michael Hendricks ended up as a regional runner-up with a mark of 1:36.12. Colton Neal of Wahama and Ryan Meadows of Hannan both tied for second in the high jump event with matching heights of 5 feet, 6 inches.

Angels 2nd, Devils 5th at SEOAL track meet Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com VINCENT, Ohio — A fitting farewell for a family full of champions. Peyton Adkins was part of four league titles Saturday at the 2012 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League Track and Field Championships at Warren High School, allowing the Gallia Academy senior to earn her first Athlete of the Year honors as highpoint scorer in the girls competition. Adkins won three individual titles in the 800m run (2:27.79), 1600m run (5:18.51) and 3200m run (11:45.83), and was also a late addition to the 4x400m relay squad that captured gold. Adkins — who replaced Andrea Edelmann — teamed with Kathleen Allen, Abby Wiseman and Hannah Watts to post a winning time of 4:15.94. That extra event, and win, amounted to 2.5 extra points (10 points split 4 ways) for Adkins — giving her a total of 32.5 points at the meet. That extra half-point allowed Adkins to edge out Chillicothe’s Megan Osborne (32) for Athlete of the Year honors in the SEOAL. Adkins’ latest four crowns brings her SEOAL career record to 10, which places her one track title ahead of her sister Lauren (9) and two ahead of her mother Andrea with eight. All three ladies also attended or plan to attend Ohio University for collegiate competition. But as good a day as it was for the Adkins clan, it was also just as positive for the Blue Angels — who finished second overall with 110 team points. Chillicothe won the girls team crown with 145 points.

Sophomore Hannah Watts also posted her fastest time of the season in the 400m dash with a runner-up effort of 59.89 seconds. On the boys side of things, Logan came away with the team title after scoring 190 points. Warren finished second with 115 points, while Gallia Academy dropped down to fifth with 57 points. Frank Goff came away with two individual titles and was part of a third, as the Blue Devil senior scored wins in both the 100m dash (11.66) and 200m dash (23.28). Goff also teamed with Shaylin Logan, Casey Lawrence and Tyler Campbell to win the 4x100m relay event with a mark of 44.77 seconds. Campbell — the two-time reigning SEOAL runner-up — finally came away with gold in the long jump event, as the senior posted a winning mark of 21 feet, 1 inch. Campbell was also eighth as a freshman in the long jump event.

Former coaches Phillip Fulmer of Tennessee, Jimmy Johnson, who coached Miami and Oklahoma State, and R.C. Slocum of Texas A&M also were selected.

It was no different in voting for rookie of the year. Irving, who played beyond his years and above everyone’s expectations including his own, was chosen the NBA’s Rookie of the Year on Tuesday, winning an award he always believed was within reach. “It was a goal of mine,” he said. “I knew as long as we won some games and beat some great team that it was going to come.” Irving received 117 of 120 possible first-place votes from a nationwide media panel of writers and broadcasters. Irving finished with 592 points, way ahead of Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio (170) and Denver’s Kenneth Faried (129). Faried, San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard and New York’s Iman Shumpert received the other first-place votes, denying Irving’s bid to become the fourth player to win the award unanimously. The 20-year-old is the second Cleveland player to win the award, joining LeBron James in 2004. Irving’s win was expected. It wasn’t a matter of if, but when, it would happen. The No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, he was clearly the league’s top first-year player, leading all rookies — and the Cavs — in scoring with 18.5 points From Page 6 with assistant coaches, current and former players. Fundamentals, team concepts, and effort necessary for becoming a varsity basketball player will be taught. Camp features will include station work, skills games, and competitive team play. Each camper will receive a River Valley Basketball Tshirt & basketball. There are individual and family rates for the camp, and brochures can be picked up in the high school office. Payment must be received on or before first day of camp. Checks can be made out to RVHS Athletic Department. Registration will be held on first day of camp.

GAHS Spring Sports Banquet CENTENARY, Ohio — Gallia Academy High School will be hosting its 2012 Spring Sports Awards Ceremony in the high school gymnasium at 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 22. Cavs’ Irving selected NBA’s top rookie per game. He also led all rookies in field-goal percentage (46.8), was second in assists (5.4) and became one of just six rookies in league history to average at least 18 points and five assists. However, it was the other elements of his game — a nasty crossover dribble, a fearless desire to get to the basket, and a clutch, coldblooded instinct in the fourth quarter that separated him from the others. During a sometimes funny and emotional acceptance speech, Irving credited his father, Drederick, and his late mother, Elizabeth, for raising him. He donated a car given to him by Kia for winning the See IRVING ‌| 10 Apartments/Townhouses Apartments/Townhouses Apartments/Townhouses 1 & 2 bedroom apartments & houses, No pets, 740-992-2218 Clean freshly painted, 2BR, ground floor.

In fact, many people could find you closed or withdrawn. This period is about reflection and making better choices in the future. June could be unusually lucky for you. If you are single, check out any new suitor with care. This person might not be all that he or she claims to be. If you are attached, the two of you need more honeymoon-type weekends together.

Note the vote of confidence you receive. As you assume a prominent role, make sure you are not stepping on someone’s toes. Tonight: Adding excitement wherever you go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Let others step out and do their thing. You might feel as if you are in some form of quicksand, either emotionally or regarding a hot issue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities. The results will be beneficial to you in many ways.

Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your plate is full, and others would willingly add more. Recognize that not everything you are doing is necessary. Stop, reorganize and perhaps delegate a project or errands to others for now. Decision made afterward will be better for you. Tonight: You are a force to be dealt with. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Keep reaching for others who are very supportive and helpful before you get stuck. Your mind finds spending to be somewhat helpful in eliminating stress.

Someone you care about could be quite vocal. Tonight: Switch to play mode. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to check in on an investment or a family member. You’ll hear news that electrifies your mind to new possibilities. Suddenly you become optimistic and ready to claim your power. Tonight: Close to home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Keep conversations open. More information heads in that could surprise you. You are coming from a very secure position that allows more give-and-take. A partner could challenge you and hit a vulnerability. Be open. Tonight: Visit with a relative or neighbor. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of how much you share about a situation. You probably are not giving away too much if you do not feel regretful. No one can judge your decisions except you. Others often want to impose their belief systems on you so they can feel right.

Point Pleasant sending 18 to state tack meet Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com ELLENBORO, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant track and field teams are sending 18 athletes to compete against the best West Virginia has to offer at the Class AA State Track and Field meet. PPHS athletes qualified by finishing in the top four at the Region 1 tournament that was held at Ritchie County on May ninth. The boys team finished third place in the regional, with 115 points, and had 10 athletes qualify for state. Marquez Griffin finished first in the 100m dash (11.30) and the 200m dash (22.85), while Kenneth Livingston finished first in the shot put (45-08) and second in the discus throw (141-02). Cody Marcum took fist place in the 110m hurdles (16.80), while Caleb Riffle finished second in the 800m run (2:07.99). Jerrod Long qualified with third in the shot put (42-06) and Rogan Park qualified with fourth in the 300m hurdles (44.00). Taking first was the 4x100m relay team of Andrew Williamson, Anthony Darst, Charles Walton, and Marquez Griffin (45.44), the 4x200m relay team of Zachary Canterbury, Darst, Walton, and Marcum (1:34.63), and the 4x110m shuttle hurdle team of Darst, Marcum, Riffle, and Park (1:01.39). Finishing second was the 4x400m relay team of Walton, Riffle, Darst, and Canterbury. The Lady Knights finished third with 76 points and had eight athletes qualify for state. Andrea Porter finished first in the 800m run (2:29.94), third in the 1600m run (5:39. 90), and third in the 3200m run (11.55.15). Allison Smith qualified with a pair of second place finishes in the 100m dash (13.52) and the 200m dash (27.57). Kennedy Young took third in the 100m hurdles (16.96), while Morgan Pethtel took fourth in the 100m dash (13.83), and Whitney Layton finished Greenbrier owner says Woods will play in Classic CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Tigers Woods will be making his first appearance in the Greenbrier Classic this summer. The Greenbrier announced Monday that Woods has committed to play in the tournament, which began two years ago. This year’s tournament will be played July 2-8 on The Old White TPC Course at the resort in White Sulphur Springs. “We’re tickled to death. To me, he’s the most recognizable name in sports,” said Jim Justice, The Greenbrier’s chairman. The PGA Tour’s designation of the Greenbrier Classic as “Best in Class Tournament” was a factor in Woods’ decision to play. Another factor was The Greenbrier itself, Justice said. “He really loves the history of the place, the history of the golf course, especially, the history that the Hogans and the Sneads played there,” Justice said. The Greenbrier worked for two years to get Woods to play in the tournament. “I’m really happy that the people can come and see the biggest icon in sports. And, he’ll be here for six days,” Justice said. For Justice, Woods’ appearance shows that West Virginia is a top-tier place and the world needs to give the state a second look, or even a first look. “It’s really meaningful, it’s a validation to me … that our state is what I think it ought to be and that is top tier,” he said. It will be the third time in the last nine months that Woods plays a tournament for the first time as a pro. He played the Frys.com Open in October in San Martin, Calif., and the Honda Classic in March. Woods last played the Honda Classic as a teenager. Last week, Phil Mickelson announced that he is returning to the Greenbrier Classic for the second straight year. The field also includes Scott Stallings, who won last year’s tournament, Sergio Garcia, Kenny Perry, and Tom Watson, who is the resort’s golf professional emeritus. Todd Richards to stay as Columbus coach permanently COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When Todd Richards took over the woeful Columbus Blue Jackets in January after the firing of coach Scott Arniel, he was also interviewing for the job. “Todd had a three-month interview,” Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said. “He passed it with flying colors.” The Blue Jackets announced Monday that they were removing the word “interim” from Richards’ job title and had offered him a two-year contract to continue what he started in an upbeat second half of the 2011-12 season. Richards led Columbus for the final 41 games after being elevated from assistant coach, going 18-21-2. He had hesitated when the interim job was first offered to him. “It did seem at that stage an overwhelming task,” he said. But after the Blue Jackets turned things around a bit, he is now enthused and optimistic about the franchise’s future. Columbus still finished with the NHL’s worst record at 29-46-7. “I don’t think there was a lot of trust built up in our players from one to another,” he said of the awful 1125-5 record under Arniel. “We started to build up that trust. We started to play more as a group, started to play more as a team. That’s why I’m excited. Despite losing guys to trade or injuries — we had kind of a makeshift group — we had some young guys and a lot of guys up from the American (Hockey) League and we were finding ways to compete and win games.” Richards went 77-71-16 in two seasons in Minnesota before being fired last year. He then joined Columbus as an assistant. The Blue Jackets played their best hockey at the end of the season, going 16-14-1 in their final 31 games, with wins in seven of their last 11. The club was just 9-6-2 with a lead after two periods under Arniel but was 14-0-0 when ahead going into the third period under Richards. Howson and senior adviser of hockey operations Craig Patrick spoke directly or indirectly with about 10 people interested in the job after the season. “We looked at available head-coaching candidates and those we thought might become available, and we kept coming back to Todd as the right person to lead our team,” Howson said. “He took over our team under very difficult circumstances and then we kept losing players, either through injury or by trade — and our team kept getting better.” Patrick said Richards held up under intense scrutiny. “Todd has developed into an excellent NHL coach,” he said. “I watched him closely on the bench, in practice, on the ice, off the ice, on the road, in the locker room and with his staff and I was very, very impressed with the way he handled all aspects of that.” Richards served as an assistant coach with the San Jose Sharks in 2008-09, helping the club capture the Presidents’ Trophy with an NHL-best 53-18-11 record. He faces a daunting task with a team that could be facing a transitional period. Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash has requested a trade and the club will try to meet that demand. Howson declined to discuss whether he was still shopping Nash. fourth in the pole vault (7-00). Taking first was the 4x100m relay team of Cassie Jordan, Pethtel, Karson Tolliver, and Smith (52.98), while the 4x200m relay team of Pethtel, Smith, Jordan, and Tolliver (1:52.73) took second, and the 4x102.5 shuttle hurdle team of Tolliver, Young, Karli Gandee, and Jordan (1:11.44) took fourth.

From Page 8 award to the New Jersey Roadrunners, his former AAU team. Irving, who played only 11 games at Duke because of a toe injury before turning pro, regularly took over games down the stretch for the Cavaliers. He kept them competitive and in the playoff race until mid-March when the team’s front office decided to build for the future by trading his backup, guard Ramon Sessions, to the Los Angeles Lakers for a first-round draft pick. Once Rubio went down with a season-ending knee injury, Irving became the runaway favorite to win rookie of the year honors. And beyond his impressive statistics, Irving brought hope to the Cavaliers and Cleveland fans, who have spent the past two seasons trying to move past James leaving as a free agent before he could bring them their first league title. Irving appears to be the major piece the Cavs can build around, and they plan to get him some help next month with three of the top 34 picks in the NBA draft. The Cavs got lucky and won the draft lottery a year ago, paving the way for them to select Irving. He was clearly the perfect choice. “I can’t wait to add some pieces this summer and see what happens next year with him,” said Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who opened his downtown casino on Monday night. “He’s great and the way he carries himself is really remarkable. He’s 20 years old. That wasn’t me at 20 — or 40. He can’t have a drink legally or come into our casino but he can do everything else.” Despite having a limited training camp because of the labor lockout, Irving started the opener for coach Byron Scott, who has formed a strong bond with his young star. He believes Irving has just scratched the surface of his potential. “One of the easiest guys I’ve ever coached,” Scott said. “Last year was a learning experience for him and us. I expect so much more from him next Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT photo The Toronto Raptors’ Jose Calderon, left, fends off a steal attempt by Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving during the fourth quarter at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, December 26, 2011. season and beyond.” Although it was assumed Irving would start the season opener, Scott didn’t inform him until the day of the game so as not to pamper the playmaker. But Irving had earned the job and it didn’t take him long to show the Cavs and the rest of the NBA that stardom would be in his future. In just his third game, he had a chance to hit a game-winning layup at Indiana but rolled his shot off the rim. Still, Scott’s decision to give Irving the ball in that situation was a sign the Cavs were ready to put their franchise in the 19-year-old’s hands. Irving said that moment of failure was the one he’ll savor most from his first season. “It was a stepping stone for me,” he said. “It was a learning experience and I needed it.” A month later in Boston, with his father sitting in a courtside seat, Irving had perhaps the defining moment of his season. With the Cavs down by two, Irving, ignoring his failure in a previous situation, drove to the basket, split two defenders and flipped in a left-handed layup to beat the Celtics. The next day he handled his heroics with humility that was on display all season. “Just a shot,” he said. Irving arrived with none of the superstar trappings. There was no entourage or multimillion dollar shoe contract, no cameras chronicling his every move. He was a team player in the truest sense, often tossing the praise on others and minimizing his role in victories. Irving chose to blend in. He stepped away from the spotlight. At the Rising Stars game during All-Star weekend in Orlando, Irving made all eight 3-pointers to win MVP honors. Posing for a photograph afterward, Irving lowered the crystal he was presented and told the photographer, “Make sure you get the Cleveland” on the front of his jersey. “That wasn’t a publicity stunt at all,” Irving said when the season ended. “I just wanted to make sure they got the Cleveland uniform in it. We’re not as publicized as everybody else.” As long as Irving’s around, that will change. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
