Unemployment a mixed bag in Tri-County
Beth Sergent

bsergent@heartlandpublications.com

OHIO VALLEY — The
latest numbers released
this week show unemployment is on the rise in Mason County and declining in
Meigs and Gallia counties.
On the West Virginia side
of the Ohio River, Mason
County’s
unemployment
rate for May was at 11.1
percent, up from April’s
10.4 percent unemployment rate. Last May, Mason

County had an unemployment rate of 11.3 percent,
virtually the same as it is
one year later. Mason County ended up in the “top four”
counties in the state when
it comes to unemployment
rates and counties which
have more than 11 percent
unemployment.
Those
other counties are Webster
with 12 percent, Boone
with 12.5 percent and Pocahontas with 14.4 percent
unemployment. Counties

with the lowest unemployment rates and rates below
six percent were Putnam at
5.8 percent, Jefferson at 5.3
percent and Monongalia at
5 percent unemployment.
Unemployment
was
also on the rise across the
Mountain State, raising
two-tenths of a percentage
point to 6.9 percent in May.
The number of unemployed
state residents rose 1,900
to 55,600. Total unemployment was down 7,500 over

the year. Within the goodsproducing sector, employment declines of 1,400 in
mining and logging and 400
in manufacturing offset a
gain of 800 in construction.
Within the service-providing sector, employment declines included 700 in trade,
transportation and utilities,
400 in professional and
business services, 300 in
leisure and hospitality, 200
in educational and health
services and 200 in other

services. Employment gains
included 400 in financial activities and 100 in government.
On the Ohio side of the
river, unemployment was
on the decline in both Meigs
and Gallia counties though
Meigs was ranked at number two in terms of having
the highest unemployment
rate in the state. In May,
Meigs’ unemployment rate
was at 11.7 percent, down
from April’s 12.2 percent.

Meigs came in behind Pike
County which once again
had the highest unemployment rate in the state at
12.6 percent. Filling out the
“top five” in terms of high
unemployment in Ohio are
Scioto County at 10.5 percent, Morgan County at
10.4 percent and Jefferson
County at 10.1 percent.
Gallia County’s unemployment rate for May was
8.6 percent, down from

Commissioners
approve formula
fund application

POMEROY — Following
a final public hearing during Thursday’s meeting the
Meigs County Commissioners approved a resolution to
apply for formula funds and
the Neighborhood Revitalization grant.
The county was notified
earlier in the year that the
Ohio Department of Development Office of Community Development of the
availability of $116,000 in
formula funds and $300,000
in funds through the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Neighborhood Revitalization program.
The approved applications/budget for the CDBG
Formula Allocation Program would fund four projects in the county. A total
of $21,200 would go to the

Dozens of volunteers, including
Jenny Ridenour and her daughters, Heather (left) and Hannah,
participated in the annual Ohio
River Sweep on Saturday morning
in Meigs County. Boy Scout Troops
and Girl Scout Troops, including
Junior Troop 1333, cleaned up various areas around the region. Each
year, more than 21,000 volunteers
from public organizations, civic
groups, recreational clubs, and the
general public in six states bordering the river come together to
collect more than 20,000 tons of
trash and other debris from the
banks of the Ohio River and tributaries.

POMEROY – Everything
changes, and just a year
ago the Department of Agriculture, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion,
made considerable changes
in the percentages of different food groups to be used
as a guide for daily food
choices.
The Food Pyramid, which
has been the recommended
guide to food choices for
years, was replaced by “My
Plate.”
Influencing the change

was the obesity not only in
the adult population, but in
children, both pre-school
and in school. The pyramid
was heavy on bread, cereal,
rice and pasta calling for 6
to 11 servings a day, and
somewhat lighter on fruits
and vegetables, recommending three to five servings of vegetables and two
to four servings of fruit.
The plate changes the ratio
of different types of foods
for a better balanced meal.
For example what is described as the “Great Plate
for Kids” consists of one-

Dear Dr. Brothers: My
sister is a school principal
and had to be hospitalized
recently with an unknown
illness. She tried to make
her own decisions about
tests and everything else,
even though she was in a lot
of pain and heavily sedated.
My brother and I tried to
help by asking questions of
nurses and doctors, and every time we did, our sister
was furious and accused us
of trying to manage her life.
She is better now, but there
is a bit of a rift between us.
How can we make her understand? — H.B.
Dear H.B.: It would be a
shame to carry on a family
crisis just because your sister wanted to be responsible
for her own health decisions
and you siblings wanted to
be helpful in any way you
could. All of you wanted
to do the right thing, but it
caused a lot of consternation instead. That’s what
you all get for being grownups. You all did what you felt
you had to do. But now that
the immediate crisis is over,
consider reviewing the situation with your sister, if she
will talk freely with you. Just

thoughts, they may be quite
uncomfortable, especially
when you find yourself considering the topic repeatedly. Even though death is one
of the greatest mysteries of
every age and an eternal
philosophical topic of discussion, it carries with it a
lot of baggage. It’s definitely
scary to think about, and
most people simply avoid it.
People assume that those
who frequently think about
death are depressed or suicidal. If you know that this
is not the case but that you
are facing a fear, or wondering about a mystery, or just
speculating about life and
death in a religious or philosophical perspective, there
is little reason to try to stop
it unless it is a compulsive
habit. Then it wouldn’t
matter so much what you
were obsessing about. You
may wish to seek counseling so that you could be
more in control of your own
thoughts. The subject alone
is not cause for alarm, but
don’t forget to savor and appreciate life.

Ohio comedy promoter:
Cited for ‘crippled’ quip
CINCINNATI (AP) — A man who says he
was charged with disorderly conduct after using the word “crippled” to promote a comedian
with muscular dystrophy claims Cincinnati
police violated his free speech rights, and the
comedian agrees.
Forest Thomer, of Cold Spring, Ky., is to appear in a Cincinnati courtroom on the charge
Wednesday. He was cited by Cincinnati police
last month at a park after he and comedian Ally
Bruener say he asked people if they wanted to
“laugh at the crippled girl.”
The question was not intended to demean
his friend Bruener, but to promote her next
comedy show and her allybruener.com website, the two said Monday. Bruener, who is in a
wheelchair because of the degenerative muscle

disorder, said she would approach people after
Thomer asked them the question, tell a joke
and talk about her next performance. Thomer
also would record some of the public’s responses for use on Bruener’s website, showing
people saying: “I laughed at the crippled girl.”
Thomer, 25, was cited May 23 on a disorderly conduct charge alleging that he walked into
people and shouted obscenities at them, according to court records. Thomer was asked to
stop his behavior but “persisted in yelling and
shouting, causing annoyance and alarm to others,” according to the complaint in Hamilton
County Municipal Court. Thomer could face
up to 30 days in jail if convicted of the fourth
degree misdemeanor charge, a court official
said.

Opinion

GOP on health care: Repeal
quickly, replace slowly
AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Congressional
Republicans
intend to seek quick repeal of
any parts of the health care law
that survive a widely anticipated Supreme Court ruling,
but don’t plan to push replacement measures until after the
fall elections or perhaps 2013.
Instead, GOP lawmakers
cite recent announcements
that some insurance companies will retain a few of the
law’s higher-profile provisions
as evidence that quick legislative action is not essential.
Those are steps that officials
say Republicans quietly urged
in private conversations with
the industry.
Once the Supreme Court
issues a ruling, “the goal is
to repeal anything that is left
standing,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a member of the
party’s leadership.
Beyond that, “we ought to
go step by step to lower the
cost” of health care, he added,
a formula repeated by numerous other Republicans interviewed in recent days.
Across the political aisle, neither President Barack Obama
nor congressional Democrats
have said how they will react
to a high court ruling that
could wipe out the legislation
they worked so hard to enact.
“We’re not spending a whole
bunch of time planning for
contingencies,” Obama said
this spring at the annual meeting of The Associated Press.
He expressed confidence the
court would uphold the law,
and neither he nor his aides
have said what fallback plans
are under discussion. “We will
be prepared in any eventuality,” White House aide David
Plouffe said Sunday on ABC’s
“This Week,” although he declined to elaborate.
Among Republicans, aides
to Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell and other key lawmakers have convened a series
of meetings in recent weeks to
plan a post-ruling strategy.
A Supreme Court ruling is
expected within the next two
weeks on a challenge to the
law, which has drawn fierce opposition among most Republicans for its requirement that

most individuals carry health
insurance.
While three big insurance
companies announced plans
this past week to retain certain
protections for an estimated 40
percent of all individuals who
receive their coverage through
work, there has been no advance word from the drug
industry on how prescription
costs for older people might be
affected by a finding that the
law is unconstitutional.
Even so, Republicans say
they have no plans for assuring
continuity of a provision that
reduces out-of-pocket costs for
seniors with high drug expenses. This coverage gap is known
as “doughnut hole.”
“I don’t think anybody intends to get involved” in the
portion of Medicare that provides prescription drug coverage. The program is “working
better than we designed it,”
said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.,
referring to studies that show
the program’s cost is lower
than was originally estimated.
The drug industry has yet to
disclose its plans.
House Republicans have
voted 30 times to eliminate,
defund or scale back parts or
all of the health law, most recently approving a measure
to wipe out a tax on medical
devices.
Senate Democrats have
blocked nearly all of the previous attacks. Forcing another
vote would allow Republicans
to signal a continued commitment to supporters of repeal,
while simultaneously requiring Democrats to take another
stand on a measure that has
failed to generate significant
public support and might by
then also have been found deficient by the Supreme Court.
“Democrats don’t want to
talk about health care between
now and the election, especially Obamacare,” said Don
Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell, referring to the law
signed in 2010.
Many members of the GOP
rank and file campaigned on a
motto of “repeal and replace”
in 2010 when it came to the
law. But now, nearly two years
later, they express no urgency
to replace a law drafted by
Democrats, and one they hope
the court will kill, with a different one of their own.

“We’re not going to repeat
the mistakes made by the
Democrats who run Washington when they passed a 2,700page bill that no one had actually read,” said Michael Steel,
a spokesman for Boehner,
R-Ohio.
While Republicans say the
recent insurance industry announcements eased the political pressure on them to act,
some cited other reasons for
moving carefully on replacement legislation.
With the party united
around repeal of the existing
law, they said they want to
avoid an internal squabble over
the details of any replacement
legislation, at least until after
the elections this fall.
In addition, they want to
wait until they know whether
GOP presidential candidate
Mitt Romney wins the White
House in November.
Romney has provided few
details about his plans for
health care legislation. He supports repeal of the current law,
in part citing a requirement for
individuals to obtain coverage,
even though as governor of
Massachusetts he signed a law
with a similar provision.
On one big-ticket item,
Romney and House Republicans already have parted company.
Both criticize Obama and
Democrats for cutting Medicare by $500 billion over the
next decade as part of the
health care law.
But Romney’s aides say he
wants to restore the money
to Medicare, while the budget
that the Republicans pushed
through the House would instead put the money toward
deficit reduction.
In interviews, several Republicans drew attention to
recent announcement from a
few insurers pledging to retain
some recent changes regardless of a court ruling.
UnitedHealth Group, Humana and Aetna said that regardless of the court’s ruling,
they will continue to cover preventive care such as immunizations and screenings without
requiring a copayment. They
also said children up to age 26
may be covered through their
parents’ insurance plans.

Budget turnarounds: Some
states socking cash away
Paul Davenport
Associated Press

David Espo,

Page 4

PHOENIX (AP) — States
starting to turn the corner
on their Great Recession
budget woes are taking the
cautious approach, socking
away millions of dollars in
rainy day funds rather than
restoring spending for education, health care and social
services.
At least 21 states, including Arizona, Michigan and
Ohio, are putting parts of
their surpluses into reserves,
an approach championed
mostly by Republican governors and lawmakers who say
the return of revenues to prerecession levels doesn’t mean
it’s time to spend.
They also cite still-tepid
economic growth, potential
costs that could flow to the
states under the federal health
care overhaul’s Medicaid expansion and the possibility
that federal deficit-reduction
efforts will force states to
shoulder more costs.
“We’ve moved from the
Great Recession to the Great
Uncertainty,” said Todd Haggerty of the National Conference of State Legislatures,
which recently found that 21
of 29 states projecting surpluses planned to put parts
of them into reserves. Other
uses include building projects
and paying off debt.
A twice-yearly survey of
proposed state budgets by the
National Governors Association and the National Association of State Budget Officers
projected that rainy day balances would increase to $38.8
billion in the fiscal year beginning July 1 in nearly all states,
up from $25 billion two years
earlier.
It forecast total tax revenue
to rise 4.1 percent to $690.3
billion in the 2013 budget
year, the third straight year
of revenue growth. Total state
spending, however, would increase only 2.2 percent and
remain below pre-recession
levels. That means budgets
are expected to remain tight,
with hiring unlikely to make a
dent in the more than 650,000
state and local government
jobs lost since August 2008.
“They want to make sure
they have some money in the
bank in case things get worse
again,” said Scott Pattison,

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.

executive director of budget
officers’ group.
Arizona, for example, begins its new fiscal year next
month with an $8.6 billion
budget that stashes $450 million into a rainy day fund that
was completely drained in the
recession.
Democrats have complained that some of the money should be spent to restore
children’s health care, school
textbooks, parks projects,
adult education and other
services that were slashed to
help balance budgets during
the recession.
“They should be investing the $450 million they are
hoarding,” Rep. Steve Farley
said.
An advocate for children’s
programs said the fund deposits represent hypocrisy
by lawmakers who refused to
restore services but approved
hundreds of millions of dollars of business and investor
tax cuts.
“They’re claiming there’s
no money” to restore child
care subsidies and health
care for children, said Amy
Kobeta, vice president of the
Children’s Action Alliance.
“There’s value in planning
for our future but it needs to
be part of a comprehensive
plan.”
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder
made a priority of rebuilding
the state’s emergency fund,
which had only $2.2 million
left in 2010-11. The state added $362.7 million a year ago
and now plans to deposit an
additional $140 million under
the recently approved budget.
“We’ll be prepared. It’s
smart. This is what we do
at home and this is what we
do in business. Let’s do the
same thing in government,”
the Republican governor said
in February as he pitched his
plan with a YouTube video.
Michigan Democrats complained the money should be
spent on public education and
other needs. One lawmaker
plunked her rubber boots on
the House podium to make
the point that it’s raining now.
Ohio put nearly $250 million in its fund as Democrats
said the state should instead
be doing more to help school
districts that have had to increase class sizes and local
governments that have had to
cut services.

“We’re at that point. We’re
actually turning off streetlights now,” Rep. Matt Lundy
said. “We need to start giving priorities again to our
local governments, our local
schools.”
Minnesota’s budget surpluses poured about $881
million into the state’s reserve and cash flow accounts
since November, bringing
both funds to full strength at
roughly a combined $1 billion.
Mississippi’s new budget
socks away $200 million in
reserves. Democratic state
Rep. Cecil Brown tried unsuccessfully to increase K-12
education spending, saying it
didn’t make sense to put $200
million in reserves when the
state’s education formula was
short $250 million.
Oklahoma nearly drained
its $600 million rainy day
fund in 2010 to fill a budget
hole but now has $249.2 million in the account and will
add an additional $340 million if revenue estimates hold.
“Oklahoma now has a savings account with hundreds
of millions of dollars that
can provide relief should the
state experience an economic
emergency,” said Aaron Cooper, spokesman for Republican Gov. Mary Fallin.
The emphasis on making
big deposits in reserve funds
is premature given that many
states have yet to restore
spending for important programs, said Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow at the
Center for Policy and Budget
Priorities, a liberal research
group.
“It certainly makes sense to
rebuild your rainy day funds
when your economies build
up again, but we are a long
way from getting out of the
hole that the recession put us
in,” McNichol said.
Joseph Henchman, vice
president of state projects for
the conservative Tax Foundation, said the counter argument is that states could be
at risk if they overcommit to
spending.
“Caution is the name of the
game, especially when committing to expenses that will
continue year after year,” he
said.

One of the biggest misconceptions
about President Obama’s health care
overhaul isn’t who the law will cover, but
rather who it won’t.
If it survives Supreme court scrutiny,
the landmark overhaul will expand coverage to about 30 million uninsured
people, according to government figures. But an estimated 26 million U.S.
residents will remain without coverage
— a population that’s roughly the size
of Texas and includes illegal immigrants
and those who can’t afford to pay out-ofpocket for health insurance.
“Many people think that this health
care law is going to cover everyone,
and it’s not,” says Nicole Lamoureux,
executive director of the Alexandria,
Va.-based National Association of Free
&amp; Charitable Clinics, which represents
about 1,200 clinics nationally.
To be sure, it’s estimated that the Affordable Care Act would greatly increase
the number of insured Americans. The
law has a provision that requires most
Americans to be insured or face a tax
penalty. It also calls for an expansion
of Medicaid, a government-funded program that covers the health care costs
of low-income and disabled Americans.
Additionally, starting in 2014, there
will be tax credits to help middle-class
Americans buy coverage.
The Supreme Court is expected to
hand down a decision this month on
whether to uphold the law completely

Ricki Holmes, 37, died Sunday, June 17, 2012.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., Thursday, June 21,
2012, at the Corinth Church with Rev Calvin Minnis officiating. Burial will follow in Corinth Cemetery. Friends may

Home (formerly Kuhner-Lewis) of Oak Hill.

or strike down parts or all of it. If it
survives, about 93 percent of all nonelderly, legal U.S. residents will be covered by 2016. That’s up from 82 percent
this year.
Still, millions of illegal immigrants
won’t qualify for coverage. This population will account for roughly 26 percent
of those who will remain uninsured, according to Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank.
And many legal U.S. residents will
go without insurance, too. About 36
percent of the population that remains
uninsured will qualify for Medicaid but
won’t sign up for various reasons. Others likely will make too much money to
qualify for assistance but be unable to
afford coverage.
Here’s a look at some of the groups
that will likely remain uninsured if the
law survives:
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
More than 11 million unauthorized
immigrants live in the United States,
according to the Pew Hispanic Center,
a nonpartisan research center. That
amounts to nearly 4 percent of the total
population. But there are no provisions
that address illegal immigrants in the
health care law.
They won’t be able to sign up for Medicaid. They won’t be eligible for the tax
credits to help buy coverage. And they
won’t be able to use online marketplaces
that the government will set up in order
for people to get coverage in a process
that’s similar to buying plane tickets on

travel web sites. Those online exchanges, much like the tax credits, will require
proof of citizenship.
“They will still need to find alternative ways to seek care because nothing
in the law really expands coverage and
affordable coverage options for undocumented immigrants,” says Sonal Ambegaokar, a health policy attorney with
the National Immigration Law Center in
Los Angeles.
The topic is a politically divisive issue. On one side, there are people who
say that the government should provide
health care for all U.S. residents — legal or not. The other side contends that
doing so could take valuable resources
away from U.S. citizens.
“Because of the limited supply of
health care, we’re almost in a sociological triage,” says Bob Dane, spokesman
for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a national group that
calls for stricter immigration laws. “It
begs the question, ‘Who do we serve,
who do we serve first and who is not
entitled?’”
Researchers have found that immigrants tend to use the health care
system less than legal residents. Illegal
immigrants, in particular, tend to avoid
using the health care system until they
have to, favoring home remedies first
or making cash payments to providers
when they need care. That population
also is younger, so it generally has fewer
health care needs, says Timothy Waidmann, a researcher with Urban Institute.

Court backs Ohio State in open records lawsuit
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The
Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday
sided with Ohio State University
in an open records lawsuit brought
by ESPN over documents it sought
from the university related to the
2011 football team scandal and
NCAA investigation.
The network had sued the university alleging it violated state public
records law by denying requests for
items regarding the forced resignation of football coach Jim Tressel
and star quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
Among records sought were correspondences referring to Ted Sarniak, reportedly a mentor of Pryor
in his hometown of Jeannette, Pa.

Ohio State had already released
hundreds of pages of documents
to ESPN and other media outlets,
including The Associated Press, by
the time ESPN filed its lawsuit in
July and argued that the university
improperly cited a federal studentrecords privacy law in denying
some records and improperly removing names from others.
But the court said unanimously
Tuesday that for the most part the
university properly shielded records
covered by the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act.
The university annually receives
about 23 percent of its total operating dollars, more than $919 million,

from federal funds, the court noted.
“Therefore, Ohio State, having
agreed to the conditions and accepted the federal funds, was prohibited
by FERPA from systematically releasing education records without
parental consent,” the court said.
The court also rejected ESPN’s
argument that the university improperly shielded some records on
the basis of attorney-client privilege.
The court did rule that Ohio
State initially violated state open
records law when it denied some
of ESPN’s requests as either too
broad or because the university
would not release any records

about the ongoing NCAA investigation.
Although the court said Ohio
State properly removed names from
documents it did release, the court
ordered it to release the few records
that were withheld entirely under
the federal privacy law as long as
students’ names were removed.
Those records include an email
chain between Tressel, the Ohio
State athletics department official
in charge of compliance, attorneys,
and other officials scheduling a
meeting.
Another document refers to
one person’s request to obtain
a disability-insurance policy on

behalf of a student-athlete.
The university said it appreciated
the court’s recognition of the way
Ohio State interprets federal privacy laws. It also said it takes open
records laws seriously.
“The university provided ESPN
with thousands of pages of records
during the course of our NCAA investigation, and as now affirmed by
a unanimous court, it acted responsibly in responding to the many
varied and broad public record requests it received,” the university
said in a statement.
Messages left for ESPN’s attorney Tuesday were not immediately
returned.

Tomlinson signs 1-day
contract with Bolts, retires
SAN DIEGO (AP) — LaDainian
Tomlinson was in the midst of saying goodbye to the NFL when his
young son, Daylen, wandered across
the dais and tugged on his pant leg,
wanting a little attention.
Tomlinson reached down and lifted him up, holding him as carefully
as he used to carry the football.
Joined by his family and several
former teammates, Tomlinson ended his brilliant 11-year NFL career
the same way he started it — with
the San Diego Chargers.
Tomlinson signed a one-day contract with the Chargers on Monday
and then announced his retirement.
“It wasn’t because I didn’t want to
play anymore. It was simply time to
move on,” Tomlinson said.
Tomlinson rushed for 13,684
yards, fifth all-time, and scored 162
touchdowns, third-most ever. His
145 rushing touchdowns are secondmost in history. He also passed for
seven touchdowns.

Just as importantly, he helped the
Chargers dig out from one of their
worst stretches to become a force
in the AFC West. He played his first
nine seasons with San Diego and the
last two years with the New York
Jets.
Tomlinson, who turns 33 on Saturday, said he knew at the end of last
season that he’d probably retire. He
said he was still physically capable
of playing but mentioned the mental
toll it takes to play at a high level.
Tomlinson didn’t shed any tears,
as he did two years ago after being
released by the Chargers.
L.T. recalled the news conference
in 2006 when former teammate Junior Seau announced his first retirement.
“He said, ‘I’m graduating today.’
I’ve been playing football 20-some
years and so at some point it almost
seems like school every year where
you sacrifice so much and there is
so much you put on the line, men-

tally and physically, with your body,
everything,” Tomlinson said. “So today, I take the words of Junior Seau:
I feel like I’m graduating. I really do,
because I’ve got my life ahead of me,
I’m healthy, I’m happy with a great
family and I’m excited to now be a
fan and watch you guys play.”
Seau, who committed suicide on
May 2, came out of retirement a few
times to play for the New England
Patriots.
Tomlinson said this is it for him.
Tomlinson said he has special
memories even though the Chargers
never got to the Super Bowl during
his time with them.
His most memorable moment
with San Diego came on Dec. 10,
2006, when he swept into the end
zone late in a game against the Denver Broncos for his third touchdown
of the afternoon to break Shaun
Alexander’s year-old record of 28
touchdowns.

Friend hopeful for elusive W.Va. Open win
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Bob
Friend has one of those glass half
empty or half full ways of looking at
his results in the West Virginia Open.
He’s finished in the top 10 seven
straight years but has yet to win the
tournament.
When the Open begins Wednesday at Edgewood Country Club near
Charleston, Friend is simply hoping
for the best despite his custom of playing no competitive golf leading up to
the tournament.
Friend, the 48-year-old director of
golf operations at Pikewood National
Golf Club in Morgantown, said between practice shots on the course
Tuesday that it’s a little frustrating he
hasn’t come out on top.
He finished second by a stroke in
2007, lost in a three-hole playoff last
year, missed going to a playoff by a
stroke in 2005, and finished fourth in

2009 after being tied for the lead entering the final round.
“I should have won it at least once
by now,” Friend said. “You never
know. This might be my week. The
only thing I can do is prepare myself
mentally and take another good look
at the golf course.”
Friend once again has to get past
David Bradshaw, who will be going after his seventh championship. That’s
second only to Sam Snead’s 17 wins.
“David Bradshaw is the guy to beat
this week,” Friend said. “My chances?
Obviously I like my chances, otherwise I wouldn’t come down here. I
seem to be playing pretty well right
now. I just don’t play a whole lot of
competitive golf anymore. When the
gun goes off, I should be able to summon all the mental acuities I need to
be able to win on Friday.”
Bradshaw is looking to become the

first golfer to win four straight state
Opens since Snead, who did it in the
late 1950s-early 1960s and again in
the early 1970s.
Bradshaw said he actually didn’t
like the way his overall golf game was
last year, so he put away the clubs for
a few months last fall, and for the first
time this spring he coached a high
school golf team at his home base in
San Diego.
“I had more fun doing that,” Bradshaw said. “It really brought me back
to the days of enjoying the game.”
That different turn in his career has
reflected well in Bradshaw’s scores, although, like Friend, he has put in very
few competitive rounds.
“This spring I’ve been shooting consistently under par. It’s been refreshing,” Bradshaw said. “I found what
works for me. Last year I spent searchSee OPEN ‌| 7

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — The Tri-County
Junior Golf League has

been in existence for more
than 30 years. The league
has now been renamed in
honor of one of the original founders, Frank Capehart. Hundreds of area
young men and woman
have participated in this
league over the years. It
has existed for the sole
purpose to provide an
outlet for the area youth
to learn and develop their
golf skills. Many of the
young people have gone
on to play for their respective high schools as
well as their college golf
teams. This year’s tour
begins on Monday, June 4,
at the Hidden Valley Golf
Course in Point Pleasant.
The age groups are 10 and

Dielman retired in March

title in 2005 at Snowshoe
Mountain. He said being the
host pro this year adds a little
pressure to the week because
he wants the event to run
smoothly.
The last time a host pro
won the Open was Berry Hills
Country Club’s Barry Evans in
2008.
Evans will miss this week’s
tournament to compete in the
PGA Professional National
Championship in Seaside,
Calif. Also absent is 12-time
West Virginia Amateur champion Pat Carter, who is away
on business, and three-time
State Amateur winner Tim

Fisher, who is suspended from
West Virginia Golf Association events this year.
Other past winners in the
field are 2001 champion Jonathan Clark, who finished second by a stroke to Bradshaw
at Edgewood in 2004; fivetime champion Brad Westfall,
four-time winners Payne and
Scott Davis, and two-time
winner John Ross.
Bradshaw also should get
plenty of heat from Concord
University assistant golf
coach Darcy Donaldson, who
has three top 10 finishes since
2008, and former Marshall
golfer Christian Brand.

due to a concussion.
“I was a part of greatness,”
Dielman said of Tomlinson’s
career. “And it was awesome
to be a part of it. It was awesome to watch. I mean, I had
the best seat in the house. It
was a fun time.”
Rivers became the Chargers’
starter in 2006 after Drew
Brees was allowed to leave as
a free agent.
“He carried us,” Rivers said
of Tomlinson. “He had such
a calming effect on the huddle, on myself. When things
weren’t going good we could
always hand it to him. When
I was struggling a bit during
the first half of that season, it
was never, ‘C’mon, you’ve got
to get it together.’ It was just
like, ‘You’re good, keep going.’
I tend to get excited but the
game was slow for him. That
part was certainly appreciated
as a young player.”
Team President Dean
Spanos said few players have
had a bigger role or meant
more to the team and the city
than Tomlinson.
Spanos recalled being told
by then-general manager John
Butler on the day before the
2001 draft that the Chargers
had traded the No. 1 overall
pick to Atlanta for a package
that included the No. 5 overall
pick.
“I said, ‘Great,’ and then
asked him who he liked with
the fifth pick. I clearly remember him telling me, ‘Well,

there’s this great running back
from TCU who could help us.’
“It’s funny now, but I also remember asking him, ‘Is he any
good?’ And I remember that
John said, ‘Yeah, he’s going to
be something special.’ I wish
John was here today so I could
thank him for making what has
probably become the most significant trade in the history of
the San Diego Chargers.”
Butler died in 2003.
Spanos said no other Chargers player will wear Tomlinson’s No. 21, and that a retirement ceremony will be held
sometime in the future.
Tomlinson and Spanos both
signed the ceremonial one-day
contract.
“I didn’t even check how
much it was for. It was worth
it,” Spanos quipped.
“People and players like
LaDainian Tomlinson don’t
come around very often, if at
all,” Jets chairman and CEO
Woody Johnson said in a statement. “His humility and work
ethic made it clear why he will
be remembered as one of the
game’s best players. Without
question, his next stop will be
the Pro Football Hall of Fame.”
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum
said Tomlinson “never took
one day for granted when it
came to any aspect of his performance. His commitment
drew his teammates to him
and elevated everyone that
came in contact with him.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday,
June 20, 2012:
This year you will go from being an
excellent communicator to a more taciturn, reflective person. Your priorities
easily could change, though money will
continue to grow in importance. Curb
negativity and deal with it immediately
when it pops up. If you are single, you
could meet a lifelong friend or even
a partner during the later part of your
birthday year. If you are attached, the
two of you will interact with each other
better than ever if you spend quality
time together. Your sweetie needs his
or her share of your caring and attention. A fellow CANCER understands
you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Use the morning for handling important messages, errands
and communication in general. You
need to respond to certain situations.
Despite your best efforts, you’ll find
yourself in a control game or a situation where someone decides to use
his or her power. The less said about
the situation, the better. Tonight: Head
home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Be sure to make calls
regarding your finances and/or a
potential purchase first thing in the
morning. You will have to weigh the
pros and cons in your mind. The backand-forth about different issues could
be exhausting. Ultimately, you have
to do what feels comfortable. Tonight:
Speak your mind. Listen and evaluate.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You might not feel as energetic as you would like. A friend continues to cause uproar despite all your
attempts to try to project a semblance
of calm. Consider the pros and cons of
a purchase before removing it from the
category of impulsive buying. Tonight:
Stop and get a token of appreciation
for a loved one or friend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH You sense a new opportunity on the horizon. You have many
ideas and, with your charisma peaking, you’ll decide to take the chance to
present some of them. Some of you
might express an interest in a new
friend as well. Do not hesitate to take
the first step. Tonight: It is your call.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Important calls and situations
need to be handled early in the day;

otherwise, you will get yourself tied up
in red tape. Information or news that
sounds bad really is not that awful.
Stay open-minded, and you will see.
Tonight: Vanish while you can.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Others look to you for solutions and ideas. Focus first on certain
high priority matters for yourself. Once
you take care of those and re-energize, then you can take time to listen
to others. Be frank with your opinions.
Tonight: Where the gang is.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH News filters through no matter what you do. Stop keeping a secret
hush-hush. You also can change
the direction of a situation if you so
choose. Skip over negativity and
decide to be positive. Tonight: Tune in
to an authority figure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Keep asking questions until
you understand where someone else
is coming from. You might want to step
back and consider how very different
you are, at least in your thought process. News proves to be interesting.
Play with that information. Tonight: Let
your imagination wander, then decide.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH It is your choice how you
handle various key people in your life.
You might feel, or even believe, that
others are trying to gain control. That
may be so, but the only way to win a
control game is not to play. Tonight:
Togetherness works.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Others tend to be unusually
challenging. Let them have their way
rather than explain what you see to be
the problem. They will discover it soon
enough. Tonight: Kick off your shoes
and enjoy whomever you are with.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Plunge into whatever project
seems like a high priority. Know that
you can get it done despite any uproar
that surrounds you. Just do not play
into the chaos — detach. Do not forget
to schedule an important appointment.
Tonight: Off to the gym.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH You are on a creative roll
at present. You might wonder which
path is best, but inevitably you’ll head
down the one you are most interested
in. You will be more alert and curious
as well. Avoid getting involved in a
power play. Tonight: Act as if it is the
weekend.

After low-key party, Junior focused on Sonoma
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Turns out the victory party for
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wasn’t much of
a party at all.
Earnhardt snapped a 143-race
winless streak at Michigan International Speedway, then celebrated at home in North Carolina with
friends and family.
“It was good, we went home
and some of the family and my
friends were there, and we just
stood around and talked about
the win,” Earnhardt told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “We
played some music, it was a pretty
good time.”
It was hardly the wild party
people expected from NASCAR’s
most popular driver, who was unaware of reports the nightclub he
owns in downtown Charlotte gave
away free drinks for an hour after
Sunday night’s win.
“That’s cool,” he said, laughing.
Next up for Earnhardt was
his first celebration at Hendrick
Motorsports since the organization began marking wins with
the ringing of a victory bell

his teammates rang the bell.
Once that’s over, it will be full
focus on Sunday’s race at Sonoma
Raceway, where Earnhardt has
always struggled. In 12 career
starts, his average finish is 22.2
and he’s led just nine laps on the
winding road course. His career
best finish is 11th, done three
times.
He’s set modest goals for this
weekend with crew chief Steve
Letarte, and is anxious to get on
with his summer with return trips
to Daytona, Pocono and Michigan
looming ahead.
“I’ve kind of got to reel it in a
little bit because of Sonoma, I
ain’t never had a top 10 there,” he
said. “I told Steve, ‘Let’s try to go
get a top-10, if that’s first place or
ninth place or whatever, let’s just
concentrate on going there to get
a personal best. And then I think
we can move on from that, whatever that result may be.”
But, there’s a part of Earnhardt
who isn’t ready to write off a good
day at Sonoma just yet.
Statistically, the start of his season is one of his best ever in the
Sprint Cup Series. He’s the only
driver to complete every lap, and
leads the series with 12 top-10s
through 15 races.
“There are stats I’m not used to
bragging about,” he said. “I have

to pinch myself just about after
race.”
His consistency, coupled with
the dominating win at Michigan,
now has him mentioned as a serious threat to win the Sprint Cup
championship. Earnhardt has
never won a Cup title, and hasn’t
challenged for one since his sixwin season in 2004, which he
considers the strongest year of his
career.
He laughed Tuesday at the sud-

den buzz over his title chances,
which have been validated since
Sunday by everyone from current
points leader Matt Kenseth to
NASCAR president Mike Helton.
Earnhardt believes he’ll have his
hands full with defending champion Tony Stewart, teammate Jimmie Johnson, and Roush Fenway
Racing drivers Kenseth and Greg
Biffle.
“I think everybody was just
kind of drunk with excitement

after the race,” he said. “Some of
my buddies that I race against,
Matt and Mr. Helton, everybody
was just excited about the end of
the race. But I do think we can put
our name in the hat. I don’t think
we are the top team, you’ve got
to look at probably Tony, Jimmie,
and Biffle and Matt.
“But we are going to be in the
Chase, and we’re going to go after
it.”
