Williams, 69 Gallia BOE considers Rife Sheriff candidacy Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — After deliberating on Thursday, the Gallia County Board of Elections decided to continue a hearing regarding a protest brought against Jack G. Rife’s bid for Gallia County Sheriff in the 2012 November election. Rife, who initially filed as a Republican candidate, withdrew his petition as a candidate for sheriff prior to a protest hearing before the board in early January. Rife later refiled as an independent candidate on March 5 — on the deadline date for filing peti- tions as a independent candidate in Ohio — a day prior to the primary election. The protest in this matter surrounds Rife’s eligibility to run for sheriff in the State of Ohio. Rife, a Gallia County resident, previously worked for the Santa Ana and San Bernardino Police Departments and obtained his Ohio peace officer training certificate through Collins Career Center. According to the Ohio Revised Code, a person running for sheriff must, have been employed as a full-time peace officer within a four-year period immediately prior to their bid for election and have at least two years of supervisory experience within a five year period of their qualification date and/or at least two years of post-secondary education. The protester in this matter, Gallia resident Carole Roush, represented by attorney Dave Riepenhoff alleged that Rife, a part-time employee of the police academy at Collins Career Center in Chesapeake and a “special” or auxiliary deputy of the Gallia County and Lawrence County Sheriff’s Offices, is not a full-time peace officer, in according with the Ohio Revised Code, with either the Gallia or Lawrence County Sheriff’s Offices and is, therefore, not eligible to run for sheriff in Gallia County. “This case is relatively straightforward. We’re here to discuss whether the employment experience that the prospective candidate has is sufficient for the Ohio Revised Code,” Riepenhoff said. “There are two underlying theories here regarding the experience he identifies on his application: one being that he’s identified himself as a teacher for a career center and teachers are not peace officers under the law; and the second being that he has identifies some auxiliary or special duty experience for the Gallia and Lawrence County Sheriff’s Offices. Special duty, auxiliary officers, as the evidence presents, are volunteer, they are not employees.” Steve Sloan, attorney for Rife, reported on a recent case in Pickaway County whereby the Ohio Secretary of State recently broke a tie vote of the Pickaway County elections board, ruling that an independent candidate in that county is qualified to run for sheriff. “You’re not dealing here solely with an employee versus volunteer. What we have here and what is important is, the fact that Jack [Rife] is on call 24 hours, seven days a week as a deputy sheriff. The authority I have explains, and the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio Attorney General have found, that a special deputy sheriff is a deputy sheriff. A deputy sheriff is a peace officer within the state of Ohio,” Sloan said. “A special deputy, under the law in Ohio, is the same as any other deputy and his training is the same as any other deputy. He can be called at anytime to do the duties that are set forth in the Ohio Revised Code for a peace officer.” Sloan further cited an opinion of the Ohio Attorney General recently filed in a case in which an on-call county emSee SHERIFF ‌| A5 CAA emergency assistance program coming June 1 Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com Stephanie Filson/photos The first scheduled car show of the Ole Car Club of Gallipolis drew approximately 20 entries and a steady stream of admirers Friday night during the first ever Aaron’s Rental Cruise-In, held in the lot of Aaron’s Rental on Eastern Ave. in Gallipolis.

CHESHIRE — Due to the warmer than normal winter, the Gallia Meigs Community Action Agency has announced that the application period to assist residents through the 2012 Emergency Summer Crisis Program will begin June 1.

Edwards said that the required medical forms to be filled out may be picked up at any of the Community Action offices. She also stressed that priority for service will be given to elderly residents. When coming for an appointment Edwards said eligible clients must bring the following documentation (without exception) proof of income (3 months/13 weeks) which show income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines; names, birth dates and Social Security Cards of all household members, with a birth certificate for the applicant; electric bills in the name of the applicant or spouse; medical documentation or disconnect if under 60 years of age. “Those who do not bring the required documentation will not be assisted,” said Edwards. She listed the annual income eligibility for 1 person in the house at $22,340; 2 persons, $30,260; 3 persons, $38,180; 4 persons, $46,100; 5 persons, $54,020, and 6 persons, $61,940. For households with more than six members, add $7,920 per member. Edwards said that applications will be taken from 8:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday in the Cheshire Office at 8010 N. SR7, Cheshire, Ohio.

Dr. W. Luther Tracy The Rev. Dr. W. Luther Tracy, 98, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, May 17, 2012, at Holzer Assisted Living, Gallipolis, after a brief illness. Born on October 3, 1913, in Adams County, Ohio, he was the son of the late Frank and Gertrude Tracy and was preceded in death by one brother and five sisters. Luther graduated from Portsmouth High School (Ohio), Rio Grande College, Denison University, and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He pastored Baptist churches in Pomeroy, Bellevue, and Centerville, Ohio, before returning to Rio Grande, where he served as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church from 1955 until 1966. Luther was also an assistant professor at University of Rio Grande, where he taught a variety of religion and philosophy classes as well as many English courses. To honor his service at the University of Rio Grande, Luther was made a Professor Emeritus in 1979; he was inducted into the Educator’s Hall of Fame in 2002; and in 2005, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service from URG. A devoted community volunteer, Luther was active in the Gallipolis Kiwanis Club, holding several offices including president. He had volunteered as a Boy Scout troop leader in several communities. He served as volunteer chaplain at Holzer Hospital more than 22 years, and Ohio’s former first lady Mrs. Hope Taft awarded him the Presidential Lifetime Service Award in 2006 to honor his more than thirty thousand hours with RSVP. Before his retirement, Luther was active on many committees in the Ohio Baptist Convention on both the state and association levels and directed many OBC summer camps. Luther always enjoyed gardening, traveling, and serving his many friends who will greatly miss him. Those who knew Luther will remember his loyal support of URG athletics, his stories, math puzzles, and how he would pull out the pencil tucked behind his ear to illustrate a point. Luther had been married to Margaret Davis Tracy for 28 years until her death in 1969; he was then married to Arlene Saunders Roush Tracy for 39 years until her death in 2010. He was preceded in death by his son, Mark Luther Tracy and his step-son, David D. Roush, husband of Karen L. Roush. Luther is survived by his daughter, Margaret Tracy Williams, her husband Randy, and their children Meg Williams, wife of Kevin Hackenberg, and their two children, Asher and Jake; Beth Buckwalter, wife of Steve Buckwalter; Drew Williams and his wife Hannah and their son Luke.

Roush, husband of Cathy Roush and their daughters Jessica and Alison. The family would like to thank the people who have given Luther loving care the past five years.

Largest protests yet in Syria’s biggest city ed when government forces fired tear gas and live ammunition to disperse the rallies. “It’s a real uprising happening in Aleppo these days,” said Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Thousands of people elsewhere in the country also staged anti-government rallies in solidarity with Aleppo. Friday is the main day of protests across Syria and this week’s demonstrations were dedicated to “The Heroes of Aleppo University.” Opposition activists said security forces opened fire on protests in several locations, including the Damascus suburbs and the central city of Hama. They also said the regime shelled the central town of Rastan, which rebels have controlled since January. Amateur videos posted online Friday showed shells whizzing through the air and slamming into residential areas in Rastan, sending up clouds of smoke. The Observatory also reported three people shot dead by security forces in the al-Tadamon neighborhood in southeast Damascus. More than 200 U.N. observers are in Syria as part of a peace plan to end the crisis. The head of the observer mission cautioned Friday that neither his mission nor armed force can stop the bloodshed without genuine talks between the two sides. No number of observers can achieve “a permanent end to the violence if the commitment to give dialogue a chance is not genuine from all internal and external actors,” Maj. Gen. Robert Mood told reporters in Damascus. International powers have pinned their hopes on the peace plan for Syria that special envoy Kofi Annan brokered in April. The plan paved the way for the U.N. observers, and it calls for a cease-fire and dialogue to end the conflict. The U.N. estimated in March that the violence in Syria has killed more than 9,000 people. Hundreds more have been killed since then as a revolt that began in March 2011 with mostly peaceful calls for reform has transformed into an armed insurgency. Both sides have flouted the cease-fire, raising concerns that the peace plan is French 500 Free Clinic Thursday, May 24th • Gallia residents 18 years and older without health insurance • No appointments are necessary and it is first come, first serve • 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. Proudly Supported By: French 500 Free Clinic located at 256 Pinecrest Drive off of Jackson Pike in Spring Valley. 60317668 BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian forces on Friday fired on protesters holding the largest opposition marches yet in Aleppo, a sign of rising anti-regime sentiment in the country’s biggest city, which has largely remained supportive of President Bashar Assad throughout the 15-month uprising. The head of the U.N. observer mission in Syria warned that neither his team nor armed action could solve the country’s crisis, and called on all sides to discuss a solution. But the regime kept up its assaults on opposition areas and protests, while the head of Syria’s largest exile opposition group dismissed the U.N.’s plan as unrealistic. Anti-regime protests in Aleppo have been growing since a raid on dormitories at Aleppo University killed four students and forced the temporary closure of the state-run school earlier this month. The May 3 raid was an unusually violent incident for the northern city, a major economic hub, where business ties and large minority populations have kept most residents on the side of the regime — or at least unwilling to join the opposition. On Thursday, some 15,000 students demonstrated outside the gates of Aleppo University in the presence of U.N. observers, before security forces broke up the protest. Even bigger numbers took to the streets Friday. Aleppo activist Mohammad Saeed said it was city’s largest demonstration yet, with more than 10,000 people marching in the Salaheddine and al-Shaar districts and nearly as many more elsewhere in the city. “The number of protesters is increasing every day,” Saeed said. He added that several people were wound- ineffective and the violence is spinning out of control. Annan’s spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi, said in Geneva that the envoy would be visiting Syria soon, but did not give a date. A highranking military adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Babacar Gaye, arrived in Damascus on Friday. But dialogue seems a distant hope. The opposition says it will accept nothing less than the regime’s ouster, and the government brands its opponents as terrorists. On Friday, the head of Syria’s largest exile opposi- tion group, the Syrian National Council, said he had little hope for Annan’s plan. “We have no illusions on this mission,” Burhan Ghalioun told The Associ- ated Press in Paris, where he is based. “In reality, it’s a mission which was done in order to hide the lack of international consensus. That’s all.” Mercerville/Hannan Trace Alumni Sat May 26 Hannan Trace Elementary School Doors open 4:30pm-Dinner 6:30pm $18.00 per person Jerry Waugh, Speaker Adria Stapleton, Entertainment Reservations Call by May 23 Katie Mullins, Treasurer 740-446-7379 �Sunday Times-Sentinel Opinion Page A4 Sunday, October 9, 2011 Global leaders seek to Lower oil prices ease load corral Europe crisis on consumers and Obama Christopher S. Rugaber David McHugh Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of eight of the world’s biggest economies meet this weekend outside Washington, seeking to keep Europe’s debt crisis from spiraling out of control and jeopardizing fledgling recoveries in the U.S. and elsewhere. The turmoil in Greece is draining confidence in the 17 countries that use the euro. Borrowing costs are up for the most indebted governments. Depositors and investors are fleeing banks seen as weak. Unemployment is soaring as recession grips nearly half the eurozone countries. And global markets are on edge. All that forms a tumultuous backdrop as representatives of the G8 countries — the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Japan, Russia, Italy and Canada — head to Camp David. Standing in the way of a breakthrough are disagreements over how to bolster Europe’s economy and avoid a broader catastrophe. In advance of the talks, German Chancellor Angela Merkel struck a conciliatory note this week. She said in a television interview this week that she was open to measures to help stimulate Greece’s economy as long as the country honors its commitments to shrink its debts. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner applauded the softer tone emerging among European leaders. “You are seeing them talk about a better balance between growth and austerity, meaning a somewhat more gradual, softer path toward restoring fiscal sustainability,” Geithner said. The shift shows that European leaders recognize that countries can’t increase their economic growth if they’re forced to focus solely on cutting spending and reducing debts. Geithner said European countries would benefit from investment in public works proj- ects, like roads and schools. At this weekend’s talks, non-European leaders will seek assurances that European leaders could contain the damage from a banking meltdown in Greece. They worry about a panic that could spill into Portugal, Spain and other indebted European countries — and to nations outside the continent whose banks are connected to Greek banks. “If there was a bank run in Greece … would they know how to prevent it from spreading to other countries?” said Jacob Kierkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. U.S. officials will be “looking for assurances that the Europeans are aware of what’s needed to keep the euro together and are willing to take those measures.” The meetings begin Friday evening with an economics-focused summit at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin mountains. They will end Saturday evening. Most of the officials will join a larger group of international leaders in Chicago for a national-security oriented NATO summit Sunday and Monday. Investors have been shaken by the power vacuum in debt-stricken Greece. They fear the consequences if Greece refuses to impose deep spending cuts agreed to under a bailout deal. They worry that the bailout could collapse, toppling Greece’s economic and banking system and forcing the nation from the eurozone. Should that happen, larger governments in Spain or Italy that are struggling to ease their debt loads might soon fail. The eurozone itself could splinter. The result could be a global crisis to rival the one that followed the 2008 collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers. Behind the turmoil is a growing realization that cost-cutting alone won’t solve Europe’s crisis.

Yet when money is tight and borrowing costs are high, governments have little ability to quickly stimulate growth. Speaking to business leaders before leaving for the G8 summit, British Prime Minister David Cameron warned Thursday that the eurozone must “make up, or it is looking at a potential breakup.” “Either Europe has a committed, stable, successful eurozone with an effective firewall, well-capitalized and regulated banks, a system of fiscal burden sharing, and supportive monetary policy across the eurozone — or we are in uncharted territory, which carries huge risks for everybody,” Cameron said in a speech in Manchester. The Obama administration is also concerned that shocks from Europe could slow the U.S. economy and threaten President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects. Yet it’s also aware there’s no simple solution. European countries are straining under high borrowing costs. Their lending rates are high because investors are nervous about their debt loads relative to the strength of the economies. Under pressure from Germany, Europe’s strongest economy, governments have laid off workers, cut pay for others, reduced spending on social programs and imposed higher taxes and fees to boost revenue. Yet as economies have shrunk, countries’ debt as a percentage of their economies has worsened. Leaders are increasingly recognizing that budget-cutting must be paired with steps to invigorate Europe’s economies. The United States, along with Japan and Canada, is expected to push Merkel to do more to spur growth in Europe. Germany has begun to accept such an approach after the election of pro-growth Francois Hollande to the French presidency and the fall of a pro-austerity Dutch government. Jonathan Fahey Paul Wiseman AP Business Writers NEW YORK (AP) — A threat that’s been hanging over the economy is starting to look a lot less menacing. Oil and gasoline prices are sinking, giving relief to businesses and consumers who a few weeks ago seemed about to face the highest fuel prices ever. President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects could also benefit, especially if prices keep falling as some analysts expect. A majority of Americans disapproved of Obama’s handling of gas prices in an AP-GfK poll early this month. But that was before the full effect of the recent drop had reached drivers. The average U.S. retail gasoline price has dropped 21 cents a gallon to $3.73 since hitting a 2012 peak of $3.94 on April 6. The economy could gain, too. Consumers who spend less on fuel have more to spend on other purchases, from autos and furniture to appliances and vacations, that could help drive economic output and job growth. The price drop will likely boost consumer confidence. It also comes at a timely moment: Ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, a busy one for travel and entertainment spending. “It’s extra money in the wallets of most American consumers, and that’s going to help,” said James Hamilton, an economist at the University of California, San Diego who studies oil prices. Lower oil prices also mean cheaper diesel and jet fuel for shippers and airlines. Crude oil, which is used to make gasoline, is at a seven-month low of $92.81 a barrel. It’s down nearly 13 percent since May 1. Behind the steady drop are larger fuel stockpiles, easing fears about Iran and expectations 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. of lower demand as the global economy slows. The average national gasoline price is expected to fall as low as $3.50 a gallon this summer. It could even dip near $3 in some states. The national average is being propped up by refinery problems in California that have lifted prices well above the national average there, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. A 50-cent drop in the gasoline price would save consumers roughly $70 billion over a year. Earlier this year, oil and gasoline prices were jumping from already high levels. Global demand was rising. And production outages were reducing supplies. Tensions between Iran and the West over Iran’s nuclear ambitions raised fears that output from the world’s third-biggest exporter would plunge. The price of U.S. benchmark oil rose to about $110 a barrel from $96 in the first three weeks of February. The price for international oil, used to make most of the gasoline in the United States, spiked even higher: to $126 per barrel from $110 over roughly the same period. Gasoline prices in the U.S. appeared on track to soar past $4 a gallon nationwide. Confidence among U.S. consumers, already suffering from high unemployment and scant wage growth, would have likely worsened. “People were prepared emotionally for $4.50 or $5 gasoline, so there’s a sense of relief,” Kloza says. No one is yet overflowing with glee over current prices. So far this year, gasoline has averaged $3.67 a gallon nationwide. If sustained all year, that would be the highest annual average ever. John Heimlich, chief economist at Airlines for America, a trade group, is among those who aren’t ready to cheer. Jet fuel prices dipped below $3 per gallon for the first time in months Tuesday, he said. “I need more than one day below $3,” Heimlich said. “I need weeks and weeks and weeks.” John Tillman, who runs Certified Carpet Care in Wesley Chapel, Fla., spends $4,000 a month on fuel for his vans that crisscross the state, visiting restaurants and other clients. He says gasoline prices are still way too high and he thinks the government should do more to protect small businesses from high fuel prices. But he’ll take any drop he can get. “It’s helped some,” he said. Hamilton and other economists say high unemployment and a weak job market are more important to the health of the U.S. economy than gasoline prices. Still, voters tend to blame presidents for high fuel prices, even if there’s little a president can do to influence them. It’s less clear that voters give a president credit when gasoline prices fall. Michael Dimock, associate director at the Pew Research Center, suspects that voters won’t exactly thank Obama for $3.75 a gallon gasoline. Still, it dulls a weapon that his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, would like to use to unseat the president. And Obama can look forward to further help this fall. After Labor Day, refiners can begin using cheaper ingredients to make gasoline because wintertime clean air rules are less stringent. That should push gasoline prices lower between Labor Day and Election Day, barring hurricanes that can disrupt supplies or other global events, says Kloza. “History will be working on behalf of the Democrats,” he said.

According to Sloan, the attorney general ruling was that said employee was a full-time employee based due to the employee’s on-call status. “If you are on call 24-7, regardless of how many times you are called in, regardless of what you are paid, regardless of what your hours are, if you are on call 24-7, you are a full-time employee, based upon that we believe Jack falls within the statue and we believe he should be on the ballot,” he said. Among those called to testify during the hearing were the Lawrence County and Gallia County Sheriffs. Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless confirmed Rife’s commission as a special deputy in Lawrence Country and explained the process by which individuals are commissioned as “special” depu- ties within Ohio, and also stated that these auxiliary officers can be called upon 24 hours a day, seven days a week if necessary. Lawless further commented that he does not regard Rife as a full-time employee of his office. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning reported that Rife had first obtained a commission as special deputy in 2007 or 2008 in Gallia County during the term of previous sheriff, David Martin. Rife was again recommissioned as an auxiliary officer with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office at the beginning of Browning’s term in early 2009. Browning further reported that special deputies are available to assist agencies with special duties, events and/or emergencies when needed and are volunteers and not compensated by the county government as full-time and part-time employees are within the sheriff’s office.

Sloan later called Rife himself to testify before the board. Rife stated that he had worked as a special deputy transporting prisoners for the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office and had previously worked within the Gallia County Jail as a special deputy for the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office. Upon questioning by Ri- epenhoff, Rife did admit to never being compensated by Gallia or Lawrence counties and to never being full-time employed by either sheriff’s offices.

In postseason baseball, however, that is a luxury not afforded to just those who play well. Gallia Academy had its historic season come to a heartbreaking end Thursday night during a 4-2 setback in eight innings to Miami Trace in the Division II district championship game at Paint Stadium in Ross County. The top-seeded Blue Devils (22-7) — who won their second straight outright SEOAL title this spring en route to the program’s first-ever 20-win campaign— came up just short in their quest for the program’s first district title, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort.

The seventh-seeded Panthers (12-11) started the game with a leadofff walk to G.W. Wallace, who was sacrificed over to second on the ensuing at-bat. Austin Schoellkopf delivered a one-out single to put runners on the corners, then Brady Ward followed with an RBI single that plated Wallace for a 1-0 edge. MTHS added to its lead in the top of the fourth, as Blake Baldwin singled with two outs to get something started. After an error allowed Ryan Detty to reach safely and advanced Baldwin to third, Trevor Haines laid down a suicide squeeze to perfection — allowing Baldwin to score for a 2-0 edge through four complete. GAHS — which had only two hits after four innings of play — finally had its bats come to life in the bottom of the fifth, which led to the Blue Devils’ first score of the night. And their first heartbreak. Brandon Taylor received a leadoff walk to start the frame, then Bryant Bokovitz singled to left to move Taylor to second with nobody out. Ty Warnimont laid down a sacrifice bunt to advances the runners into scoring position, then John Faro received a walk that loaded the bases. Justin Bailey did his job by lifting a sacrifice fly to center, which allowed Taylor to tag up and score. The throw to the plate got past the catcher, and Bokovitz — who was originally at second — was waived home. The ball ricocheted off of the concrete barrier at the base of the backstop and straight into the hands of Wallace, who was backing up the throw home. Wallace turned and fired a strike to his catcher, who applied the tag on a sliding Bokovitz in time — ending the inning with Miami Trace clinging to a 2-1 cushion after five complete. The score stayed that way until the bottom of the seventh, and the Blue Devils were down to their final out before their big break finally came to them. Warnimont reached safely on an infield error, then stole second to get the tying run into scoring position. A passed ball allowed Warnimont to move to third, and an errant throw in an attempt to gun down Warnimont at third ended up in left field — allowing Warnimont to score and tie the game at two at the end of regulation. An error allowed Schoellkopf to reach base safely to start the top of the eighth, then Brady Ward followed with a triple to right-senter field. Schoelkopf, however, was gunned down at the plate in an 8-4-6-2 manner — keeping the contest tied at two. With one out and Ward at third, Griff Ward laid down the Panthers’ second successful suicide squeeze of the night — which brought Brady Ward home with the eventual gamewinning run. John Phillips singled home Griff Ward one batter later, wrapping up the game at its final 4-2 outcome. GAHS — which was outhit by a 6-5 overall margin — had the tying run at the plate with no- body out in the eighth, but ultimately couldn’t get a run or two home. The Blue Devils also committed two errors in the contest, compared to three by the Black and Gold. Emotionally distraught afterwards, GAHS coach Rich Corvin could only focus on how his group fought until the very end. “We believed right up until the final out. We were resilient, we never quit and we just kept battling. Things just didn’t work out for us tonight, but it wasn’t because of effort,” Corvin said. “I’ve never coached a set of guys like this, they just don’t know when to quit. I, like them, hate to see this come to an end, but it’s truly been a great run.” Wallace was the winning pitcher of record, allowing one earned run, five hits and four walks over eight innings while striking out four. Taylor took the tough-luck loss after surrendering four earned runs, six hits and three walks over 7.1 innings of work while fanning eight. Justin Bailey also struck out one in two-thirds of an inning of relief. Warnimont, Bailey, Bokovitz, Drew Young and Gus Graham each had a hit for GAHS. Bailey drove in an RBI, and both Warnimont and Taylor scored a run apiece in the setback. Brady Ward paced the Panthers with two hits, a run scored and an RBI. It was the final game for seniors Drew Young, Brandon Taylor, Kyle Saunders, Bryant Bokovitz and Zach Thomas in the Blue and White. Corvin — with a proud face behind a few small tears — noted that this squad shouldn’t let this last outcome take away from anything that was accomplished on the diamond this spring. “These guys have put their stamp of greatness on this program. They’ve left their mark and it’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of,” Corvin said. “These guys will be the target of all the future teams at Gallia Academy, which means our standards will have to go up to match them. That’s not a bad legacy to leave.” Bryan Walters/photos Above, Gallia Academy sophomore Winston Wade takes off after a baton exchange with Michael Edelmann in the 4x800m relay event held at Davis Stadium in Oak Hill, Ohio.

The Lady Rebels’ Canaday broke through with a two-out hit and later scored to tie the game up at two apiece. Fairfield again escaped a big inning, leaving a pair of Lady Rebels on base. Three South Gallia errors paired with one hit and two walks allowed the Lady Lions to score three runs in the fourth and take the 5-2 lead. After sitting South Gallia down in order in the fourth Fairfield’s first two runners in the fifth reached base. The Lady Rebels got three straight outs and escaped unscathed.

Fairfield Union edges Angels in district final, 2-1 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications. com OTWAY, Ohio — A pitcher’s duel to the very end. Through eight innings Gallia Academy and Fairfield Union combined for just seven hits and three runs, as the Lady Falcons took the 2-1 victory and the Division Two District title Friday night in Scioto County. After a scoreless first inning the Blue Angels’ (198) Mattie Lanham came around to score after being hit by a pitch. Fairfield Union broke through for the game’s first hit in the top of the fourth inning but failed to make anything happen on the scoreboard. Gallia Academy’s first hit came in the top of the fifth off the bat of Kendra Barnes, but GAHS could not expand on its one run lead. FUHS put a couple of hits together in the top of the sixth to tie the game up at one. Neither team had the luxury of a base runner in the seventh and the game was forced into extra innings. With two outs in the eighth Fairfield Union sophomore Kylie Cisco took the first pitch she saw over the left-center field fence to earn her third hit of the game and give FUHS the 2-1 lead. Brittany Lloyd opened the home half of the eighth with a single but was thrown out at second on the choice. Gallia Academy couldn’t answer and fell to FUHS 2-1. “I thought both teams played really well,” said GAHS head coach Jim Niday. “The pitching was outstanding.” Heather Ward was credited with the loss after giving up just two runs on five hits and a walk. Ward struck out five batters in eight innings of work. Ward sat down FUHS in order in four innings including the first three. Hope Bondurant earned the victory after giving up just one unearned run on two hits and two walks. Bondurant struck out six batters in eight innings of work. Barnes and Lloyd had the lone hits for the Blue Angels, while Lanham scored the only run. Barnes and Megan Cochran each drew a walk in the game, while Lanham was hit by a pitch. Cisco led the Lady Falcons with three hits including the go-ahead home run in the eighth inning. “Just a great game,” Ni- day said post game. “Unfortunately one team had to lose and one team is over there celebrating now, and we’re the ones that had to lose.” Gallia Academy is losing a successful group of seniors that have won three Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championships and one district title. GAHS has won a combined 82 games over the past four seasons. The departing seniors are: two-time SEOAL Player of the Year pitcher Heather Ward, two-time All-league selection catcher Mattie Lanham, All-league in- fielder Rachel Morris, AllSEOAL honorable mention outfielder Kanessa Snyder, and second baseman Brittany Lloyd. “We’re not an easy team to beat,” Niday said, “They were good enough to do it tonight, so congratulations to them.” Above, Blue Angels’ senior Mattie Lanham (12) slides into second base under Fairfield Union’s Amanda Drumm (11) during Gallia Academy’s 2-1 loss to the Lady Falcons in the district final on the campus of Northwest High School Friday night. At left, Galia Academy senior Heather Ward bats during the first inning of the Blue Angels’ 2-1 loss to Fairfield Union in the division two district finals at Northwest High School Friday night. 60314282 �Sunday, May 20, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B4 INSTRUMENT/ELECTRICIAN TECHNICIAN HOURLY POSITION Business Business Hershberger Fresh Notices PUBLIC NOTICE: PROVIDENCE CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY DECORATIONS Decorations shall be removed 30 days after the Memorial Day Holiday with the exception of flowers that are located on the monument and do not create a problem during the maintenance of the cemetery.

This year will bring a diverse mix sure to please the most discerning musical palate. By Stephanie M. Filson SFILSON@HEARTLANDPUBLICATIONS.COM SCOTTOWN — When driving the narrow and curvy southeastern Ohio roads that lead to the hidden gem that is Eden Valley, it is difficult to imagine that in less than two weeks, thousands of die-hard music lovers will make the same trek, converging upon the peaceful and pristine farm that — as the result of one family’s vision, camaraderie and sheer will — is transformed annually into a Bluegrass paradise. Traditional Bluegrass is only one facet of music to be enjoyed at the 11th Annual Appalachian Uprising, however. As farm owner and festival spearhead Steve Cielec explained, “The Uprising is Bluegrass for the next generation.” And, so it is. Ricky Skaggs A Cleveland-area native, Cielec bought the farm, so to speak, about 15 years ago with a dream of hosting the kind of music festivals he had frequented at Blossom Music Center, located in a more urban area of northeastern Ohio. “Those shows just had a certain energy to them,” said Cielec. “I thought, ‘How great would it be to bring that here?’” So, in 2001, he and his family set out to bring the lush valley to life with the music of Bluegrass legend, Sam Bush, and a whole host of others. The festival has continued to redouble in attendance each year, despite its remote location near Scottown in Lawrence County. Festival-goers soak up the sun and great, live music at a previous Appalachian Uprising event, nestled in the hills of southeast Ohio. “I think we had about 300 people come out that first year,” said Cielec, smiling. “Last year, though, we had about 5,000. I really don’t know what kind of turnout to expect this year, but it is definitely growing.” The Gallipolis Daily Tribune caught up with Cielec and a small team of friends and family a couple of weeks ago when they were wrestling with the enormous festival tent that serves as a shelter from rain and sun during the annual music festival. Included in the team was Cielec’s son-in-law, and fellow festival organizer, J.D. Smoot. Smoot, like Cielec, spoke about the festival’s special brew of loyalty to traditional Bluegrass and fearless exploration of what he calls ‘Newgrass’ — a recipe that seems to have struck a chord with a wide cross section of folk music lovers. Steve Cielec “We’ve always tried to be on the cutting edge of Bluegrass,” said Smoot. “It’s everything from what my mom and dad listened to on chosen for the Uprising reflects the personal tastes of family and friends that make up the festival’s organizational committee. Punch Brothers the porch when we were kids to what today’s kids listen to. That’s really what we pride ourselves on. We try to cover the whole spectrum.” This year, festival organizers — who also include Duane Wilson and Jim Hays — decided to mix things up a bit by replacing 10-year Uprising veteran Bush with some new performers, including the legendary Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, and perhaps the lesser known, but certainly unforgettable, Punch Brothers. Also highly anticipated this year by organizers and fans alike are The Infamous Stringdusters and Mountain Heart. “I think this year is probably one of the most diverse,” said Smoot of the 2012 lineup. “We’re all over the map.” Smoot said that the diversity of the acts ultimately “I’ve always been a live music fan. I just loved music, but when I was first introduced to Bluegrass, I thought only of traditional Bluegrass, with performers singing through their noses,” said Smoot. “Then, the first year my wife and I were dating, we came out here, and the Avett Brothers were hanging out backstage getting ready to go on, so we mosey down to the stage … and I was just floored. I thought, ‘This is what I’ve been missing for the last 20 years of my life.’” The mix of music inherent to the diplomatic process of committee vote means that musicians of widely varying experience levels share the same stage throughout the weekend event. Gallia County is being represented this year by local favorite, Billy Two Shoes, which features Gallipolis native James Gettles on stand-up bass. The band is unique in that, since its inception, all proceeds have gone to regional food pantries. To date, the band has raised thousands of dollars to fight hunger. The festival, which runs from May 31 - June 2, is chock full of talent, both on and off the stage. Festival-goers will tell you that part of the charm of Uprising is the campfire jam sessions that pop up all across the valley. Many who travel to the Uprising do so with kids in tow, as well. Organizers are proud of the family-friendly atmosphere. “It goes back to the fact that it is a family-run organization, so we convey that kind of a feel,” said Smoot. One thing is for certain. This organization is onto something here — something exciting and positive. “People come out for the first time, and they are like, ‘How did we not know about this before?’, and it’s hard to get that part of the festival across to people, because you don’t really understand it until you experience it.” The 2012 lineup for the 11th Annual Appalachian Uprising includes: Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Punch Brothers, The Infamous Stringdusters, Mountain Heart, Don Rigsby and Midnight Call, The Dave Mayfield Parade, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Melvin Goins and Windy Mountain, Johnny Staats and The Delivery Boys, Chris Jones and The Nightdrivers, The Vespers, Cumberland River Band, Sasha Colette and The Magnolias, Rumpke Mountain Boys, Atomic Duo, Billy Two Shoes and Tyler Childers. Appalachian Uprising festival organizer J.D. Smoot and Eden Valley Farm owner Steve Cielec erect a large tent in preparation for the music festival that is less than two weeks away. The 11th annual event will run from May 31 through June 2, 2012.

We know there are family graves to be decorated, alumni reunions to attend, friendships to be renewed, and lots of conversation with schoolmates to be enjoyed, all in one weekend. This week I have heard from several people who will be making their way back to Meigs County next weekend for a time of reflection on those good old days of growing up in small towns along the Ohio River. You know the older you get the more nostalgic you become, and the more you want to get together for “remember when” sessions. MHS alumni Beverly Perrin, who I haven’t seen for years, e-mailed me Thursday to let me know she was coming back for the alumni reunion and thought it would be nice to get together while she was here. In the e-mail she talked about the Big Bend Minstrel shows which Bob (my late husband) produced and in which she performed for a number of years while growing up in Middleport, and the lasting influence it has had on her life. Charlene Hoeflich Bob, who worked with hundreds of young people as well as adults over the 40 years he produced Bend-area benefit shows, was known for what he described as “disciplined fun” when it came to practice time and excellence when it came to performing. Maybe that was what stayed with Bev all these years. Anyways, I’m looking forward to joining a few of those old song and dance people for some reminiscing about the shows this weekend. While I’m not an alumni of any school here, I am an alumni of the Big Bend Minstrel Association shows, and so are they. *** Leon Jordan, a PHS grad, will be among the many returning to Pomeroy for the Memorial Day weekend. On Friday night he will be emceeing a “sock hop” at the Racine American Legion Hall from 8 to 11 p.m. The music will be from the 50s and 60s on CDs converted by Leon from his collection of old 45s. Many will remember Leon as one of a teen trio who traveled the area hosting sock hops in the late sixties. *** Longtime song and dance man Bruce Wolfe of Racine, who for the past 20 years has been a cast member at the Walt Disney World Resort, has been traveling between Florida and Ohio for weeks in preparation for the 25th anniversary performance of the Midnight Cloggers at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre in Gallipolis, June 16 and 17. Bruce organized the group 25 years ago and some of the local cloggers who will be performing go way back to the days when clogging was really hot. He performs with the group and describes the upcoming “25th Anniversary Silver Spectacular” as a “knee slappin’, toe-tappin’, foot-stompin’ fun event.” That’s sure to delight the audiences. Tickets are now on sale at the Ariel. Social Security Column Why young workers should care about Social Security Marcus Geiger Social Security District Manager Gallipolis, Ohio Summer will be here before we know it. That means millions of high school and college students will be searching for jobs. Whether a new worker is beginning the career of a lifetime or just earning some extra money for the school year to come, there is one question that is likely to be on each new worker’s mind when they see their first pay stub: Where’s the rest of my money? Generally, employers are required to withhold Social Security and Medicare tax from a worker’s paycheck. The amounts you pay in Social Security and Medicare taxes are matched by your employer. Usually the money that is withheld is referred to as “Social Security taxes” on the employee’s payroll statement. Sometimes the deduction is labeled as “FICA taxes,” Healthy eating can cost less WASHINGTON (AP) — Is it really more expensive to eat healthy? An Agriculture Department study released Wednesday found that most fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods cost less than foods high in fat, sugar and salt. That counters a common perception among some consumers that it’s cheaper to eat junk food than a nutritionally balanced meal. The government says it all depends on how you measure the price. If you compare the price per calorie — as some previous researchers have done — then higher-calorie pastries and processed snacks might seem like a bargain compared with fruits and vegetables. But comparing the cost of foods by weight or portion size shows that grains, vegetables, fruit and dairy foods are less expensive than most meats or foods high in saturated fat, added sugars or salt. That means bananas, carrots, lettuce and pinto beans are all less expensive per portion than French fries, soft drinks, ice cream or ground beef. “Using price per calorie doesn’t tell you how much food you’re going to get or how full you are going to feel,” said Andrea Carlson, scientist at the USDA’s Economic Research Service and an author of the study. For example, eating a chocolate glazed donut with 240 calories might not satiate you but a banana with 105 calories just might. In the comparisons, the USDA researchers used national average prices from Nielsen Homescan data, which surveyed a panel of households that recorded all food purchases over a year from retail outlets. The cost of eating healthy foods has been the subject of growing debate as experts warn Americans about the dangers of obesity. More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, according to the government, and researchers expect that number to grow to 42 percent by 2030. “Cheap food that provides few nutrients Extension Corner Bugs, bugs and more bugs and Wildlife, US Forest SerBugs, bugs and more bugs! vice, Vinton County Soil and Have you found empty shells Water Conservation District, (exoskeletons) of insects on Ohio State University Extentree trunks, shrub stems, sion, US Fish and Wildlife buildings or perennial stems?

In the event that you die young, your dependent children and spouse may be able to receive survivors benefits based on your work. Today you probably have family members — grandparents, for example — who already enjoy Social Security benefits that your Social Security taxes help provide. You may be a long way from retirement now, so you may find it hard to appreciate the value of benefits that could be 40 or 50 years away. But consider that your Social Security taxes could pay off sooner than you think. Social Security provides valuable disability benefits — and studies show that a 20-year-old has Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Researcher: Plants able to ‘remember,’ adapt to survive research, Fromm and his team compared reactions of plants stressed by withholding water to those that got water. The ones that went without water — the trained or stressed plants — bounced back more quickly the next time they got dehydrated. Those that got water — the untrained or non-stressed plants — wilted faster and their leaves lost water at a faster rate than the trained ones. There were changes at a molecular level when the trained plants were deprived of water again. When water was then made available, the changes reverted back to normal levels. That changed, though, after subsequent periods of drought as the plants “remembered” their molecular response to stress. “There’s a connection between the environmental stress, the drought, and the plant response with not only physiological changes but developmental changes,” Fromm said. “That’s a decision the plant makes that we think this process can influence.” The mustard plant forgot the previous stress “memory” after five days of watering, but the researchers said other plants’ memories could be different. “It kind of backs up what a lot of people have thought,” Texas Tech horticulture professor Thayne Montague said. “Once a plant is exposed to stress, drought … it can be a beneficial response short term. Now, long term that hasn’t really been looked at.” One Lubbock woman, president of the city’s 60-member master gardener program, said she thinks a plant’s roots are keys to drought survival. The shorter the root, a result of overwatering, the less the plant will tolerate drought. “Plants don’t think,” Barbara Robertson said. “It almost has to have something to do with the root system. A stressed plant with deep roots is going to do better.” The Nebraska research team’s results could be transferred to row crops, such as corn, cotton or wheat, but that potential is still about 20 years away, Fromm said. Ideally, the goal would be to have the memory last from growing season to growing season. “That may or may not exist,” Fromm said. “Our discovery goes just a few days.” Murray Coulter, a genetic biologist who taught at Texas Tech University for more than three decades, said Fromm’s research isn’t saying plants have a central nervous system and can think. But if it’s just one gene that needs modifying, he said, he thinks the technology could be in crop fields in five years. That would help producers in the world’s largest continguous cotton patch, on the South Plains. “Having a dry season would not impact them economically,” Coulter said. “The less water they use the more profit they make.” �Sunday, May 20, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Sunday, May 20, 2012 BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS 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, May 21, 2012: Sometimes you act as if someone has lit a fire under you, as you display a compulsive, driven quality this year.

(AP) — Right now, Sammy Hagar is awfully glad he’s not in Van Halen anymore. The legendary rock band he led for more than a decade after replacing David Lee Roth in 1986 launched a tour in February with Roth back at the helm. But Van Halen on Thursday postponed dozens of shows this summer that had been scheduled for months, without giving a reason. Hagar thinks he knows why. “They’re hard people to get along with, those brothers,” Hagar told The Associated Press on Friday. “Otherwise I’d still be in the band. “I’m surprised it took this long” for the tour to experience major difficulties, he added. “I predicted this was going to happen a lot sooner. I lost money on that bet!” A source familiar with the tour who was not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that some of the band’s longscheduled performances this summer are being postponed. The group’s website lists active tour dates through June 26. Representatives of the band and AEG, which is promoting the concerts in some regions, did not respond to messages from the AP. Hagar actually had two go-rounds with Van Halen, but left each time after clashes with guitarist Eddie and drummer Alex Van Halen. Roth left the band in 1985 to launch a solo career after similar personality clashes with the Van Halens, but reunited with them in 2007. In February, the band released its first studio album together in 28 years, “A Different Kind Of Truth,” and has been touring to support it. US government sets new stiff tariffs on China solar panels WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration moved Thursday to impose stiff new tariffs on solar panels made in China, finding that Chinese companies are improperly flooding the U.S. market with government-subsidized products. The Commerce Department said Chinese producers had dumped solar cells and panels in the United States at margins ranging from 31 percent to nearly 250 percent. If the preliminary ruling is upheld, tariffs averaging 31 percent could be imposed on Chinese solar-panel imports. The tariffs would be in addition to fees ranging from 2.9 percent to 4.73 percent imposed in March after the department found that China is improperly subsidizing its solar manufacturers. The tariffs announced Thursday were higher than expected and could ratchet up trade tensions between the two countries. Several U.S. solar panel makers, led by Oregon-based SolarWorld, had asked the government to penalize China for dumping low-price products on U.S. markets. The companies are struggling against fierce competition from China as well as weakening demand in Europe and other key markets, just as President Barack Obama is working to promote renewable energy. U.S. companies’ complaints about their Chinese rivals have been amplified by the controversy surrounding Solyndra Inc., a California-based solar panel maker that went bankrupt last year after winning a half-billion-dollar federal loan from the Obama administration. Solyndra’s collapse embarrassed Obama and prompted sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and other Republicans who are critical of Obama’s green energy policies. Solyndra, which is not involved in the trade case, cited Chinese competition as a key reason for its failure. A majority of U.S. solar panel installers oppose tariffs on Chinese panels, arguing that less expensive imports have helped make solar panels more affordable for U.S. customers. The companies also worried that China could retaliate against U.S. companies, noting that Chinese authorities have announced their own probe into whether U.S. support for renewable energy companies hurts foreign suppliers. “This is the first step to a trade war between the U.S. and China,” said Jigar Shah, leader of a coalition of solar companies that oppose U.S. tariffs. The Commerce Department decision will increase U.S. solar prices “precisely at the moment solar power is becoming competitive with fossilfuel-generated electricity,” said Shah, president of the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy. Members of the coalition include California-based SunEdison, Recurrent Energy, SolarCity and Westinghouse Solar, as well as China-based Suntech Power Holdings Co., one of the companies affected by the Commerce case. SolarWorld president Gordon Brinser said the Commerce Department had merely confirmed that Chinese manufacturers have illegally dumped solar cells and panels in the U.S. market, giving their products an unfair advantage. The ruling “will re-establish a natural balance in pricing that does need to occur in the global marketplace,” Brinser said, adding that the U.S. solar market has been distorted by cheap Chinese imports. SolarWorld Industries America Inc., a subsidiary of Germany’s SolarWorld AG, is the largest U.S. maker of silicon solar cells and panels. The company was joined by six other manufacturers, including Wisconsin-based Helios Solar Works, in filing the unfair trade complaint. Shah and other critics say steep tariffs will lead to the loss of thousands of U.S. jobs, but SolarWorld’s Brinser dismissed that as “doomsday” talk. Solar power is growing rapidly in the United States, he said, adding that demand for solar panels will continue to rise as states set standards for renewable energy and consumers see benefits from solar power. Andrew Beebe, chief commercial officer for Suntech’s California-based subsidiary, called the duties “not justified by fact.” The ruling sets up “harmful trade barriers” between the U.S. and China, Beebe said, adding that he hopes the two countries engage in “constructive dialogue” to avert a solar panel trade war. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
