Wanted: Employers, youth for summer jobs program
Amber Gillenwater

mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia
County Department of Job and
Family Services (DJFS) is currently reaching out to businesses
in Gallia County to assist them in
a summer youth subsidized employment program.
The program allows area business to hire local youth for the

summer and be completely reimbursed for the wages expended for
the youth involved.
According to Jamie Eplin, who
works on youth services and programs through the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) at DJFS,
a total of 42 youth have already
been placed with several local
business, and, as additional TANF
(Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families) funds have been award-

ed through the Ohio Department
of Job and Family Services, Gallia
County DJFS is seeking to double
that number.
To fully utilize these funds, according to Eplin, more businesses
and youth need to communicate
their willingness to participate in
the program that benefits both the
area youth and local employers.
“We are desperately seeking
employers that are willing to hire

a youth for the summer and get
their money back 100 percent,”
Eplin said.
The program lasts through August 31, 2012, and is available to
not only teenagers but for all individuals, ages 16 to 24.
“It’s a great thing for college
kids — a great opportunity,” Eplin said. “Some of the jobs are
keepers. Some of jobs will train
you and want to keep you if you

are a good employee. Most of jobs
are just exactly what the program
is — just summer jobs.”
Eplin reported that any business in Gallia County that would
be willing to train a temporary
worker in their particular skill or
trade would be eligible to participate in the program.
The participating youth will be
paid between $7.70 and $10 per

Local talent to take fair stage

MASON COUNTY — The Mason
County Fair is taking a chance on
something different this year by giving popular local acts the main stage
on Wednesday night during fair week.
Wednesday night has typically
been reserved for a major country
music act but this year the fair has
three of those scheduled on different
nights with Jerrod Niemann taking
the stage at 9 p.m., Saturday, Aug.
11; Pam Tillis taking the stage at 9
p.m., Friday, Aug. 10. and Georgette
Jones (daughter of George Jones and
Tammy Wynette) taking the stage at

9 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 9.
This “Local Night” at the fair will
showcase three popular, local draws
— Paul Doeffinger, Bunk Hammer
and Joey D and the Dub V’s.
Taking the stage first and at 6 p.m.,
Wednesday, Aug. 8 will be Doeffinger who has performed all over the
tri-state area and beyond. Doeffinger
stays especially busy in the summer, playing festivals up and down
the Ohio River and is popular year
round at clubs, weddings and private
parties. Doeffinger performs original songs and remixes the classics
like “Shakin” by Eddie Money and a
certain Jimmy Buffett song which remains near and dear to several lonely

hearts. Armed with just a guitar and
a cheer for a “team drink” (or two),
Doeffinger is sure to have the crowd
in a good mood when Bunk Hammer
takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. that same
night.
Bunk Hammer is a rock and blues
band comprised of local talent Steve
Thomas, Culley Thomas, Rob Jarrell
and Ray Oldaker. Steve says those
coming to the fair’s Bunk Hammer
show will get straight up “rock and
roll” with songs by everyone from
Foo Fighters to Ted Nugent. With so
much blues and rock and roll coming
out of the speakers, there definitely

AG announces recovery rate
of missing children in 2011
COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced recently that the Ohio Missing Persons
Unit, along with local law enforcement agencies, had a
98.4 percent recovery rate of missing children in 2011.
“I am pleased that of the nearly 19,000 children reported missing in Ohio last year, Ohio’s local officers
and our Missing Person’s Unit helped bring almost every child home,” said DeWine. “When it comes to Ohio’s
children we must do everything possible to reunite kids
with their parents or rightful guardians.”
The Attorney General’s Office released its Missing
Children Clearinghouse 2011 Annual Report last week,
in conjunction with National Missing Children’s Day.
The clearinghouse documented 18,961 reports of
missing children in Ohio in 2011:
• Runaways — 11,720
• Lost, injured or otherwise missing — 7,138
• Family abductions — 81
• International family abductions — 7
• Non-family abductions — 3
Some children, including those who are recovered
quickly or are the subject of frequent custody disputes,
may not be included in the statistics. The majority of
the 1.6 percent of children still missing at the end of
2011 are suspected runaways.
The Ohio Missing Person’s Unit, which operates the
Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse, was created by
DeWine in 2011 to better coordinate and convey information about services related to missing children. The
unit is a division of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Right now, there are 734 missing children in Ohio.
Employees of the Ohio Missing Person’s Unit orchestrated a balloon launch today with students from the
Columbus Preparatory Academy to launch a balloon for
each missing child in the state.
The Attorney General and the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children encourage parents to
take 25 minutes to talk with their children about staying safe.
• Make sure kids know how and when to use 911.
• Remind children it’s OK to say NO to anything that
makes them feel scared or uncomfortable.
• Teach children never to approach a vehicle unless
accompanied by a trusted adult.
• Instruct children to keep the door locked and not
to open it to talk to anyone when they are home alone.
• Teach kids that if anyone tries to grab them to kick,
scream and make a scene.
Photos of today’s balloon launch and the full Missing
Children Clearinghouse 2011 report can be found on
the Ohio Attorney General’s Website.

The Trouble with Twoness Gallipolis is already blooming

Winslow Myers

The single most powerful idea that needs
to be seeded into world culture as rapidly as
possible is that we are one interdependent
whole on this planet. Difficult as the implications may be for us to grasp, it will have only
a salutary effect upon world politics, economics, cultural diversity, and religious practice.
Going further, it could be asserted that
the internalization in the human mind and
heart of this idea is the way evolution itself
will manifest itself at this unfolding moment
of history.
For relief from such headache-inducing abstractions, I often walk a path that takes me
along a tidal river to a midden, a cliff-high
mound of oyster shells left from the summer
gatherings of indigenous Americans over millennia. The midden slopes to a beach where
horseshoe crabs forage along the sandy shallows — a species so resilient that it has sustained itself unchanged for 445 million years.
The process that has allowed horseshoe
crabs to flourish for so long has operated instinctually, on “automatic,” in a roller coaster
ride up into breathtaking diversity and down
into five vertiginous moments of mass extinction, as life-forms jostled for their place in the
ecosystem. Those forms that adapted survived. Those that did not disappeared, leaving only their fossil remains. Scientists tell us
we are into a sixth dizzying plunge as thousands of species go extinct around us. Natural
selection continues to operate at full throttle.
Meanwhile an “unnatural” factor, human
consciousness, entered the scene. In what has
been only an instant of evolutionary time, it
became dominant — rather, it has assumed
dominance over the system while in reality remaining totally subject to the system’s every
law and principle. The “other” in the twoness
of self and other is not only the perceived enemy or opposing viewpoint. The other is also
the natural world that until now we have perceived as an infinite resource subject to our
command and exploitation, rather than as the
ground of our own sustained vitality. We can
be no healthier than it.
If the Chinese continue to operate their
coal-fired power plants, the largest single
source of carbon emissions in the world,
the military-economic competition between
China and the United States will become at
best irrelevant and at worst a potential disaster. If the United States continues to use up
a third of all global resources, it will matter
little whether Iran produces a nuclear weapon
or not.
These ecological realities behind our conflicts rarely surface in political campaigns
because we are entranced by obsolete competitive metaphors: our politics are not the
civil contribution of workable ideas based in
interdependency. Instead they are a Superbowl contest.
Superbowl twoness is the obsolete thoughtparadigm that informs everything we do. We
compete from birth to death. We compare
ourselves endlessly with others. We envy

those who are wealthier or better looking
or apparently happier, and look down upon
those less fortunate than ourselves with a distancing pity or contempt. In a thousand daily
ways, we take sides. Especially in the United
States our politics, our legislatures and courts,
executive leaders, and mass-media discourse
are dominated by polarized allegiance to conservative or progressive opinion.
A Republican president and vice-president
administer a torture program of global reach,
a program that would subject them to potential criminal trial by Nuremburg standards,
but they have enough support among both
Republicans and Democrats — given our fear
of the terrorist “other” — to receive a pass.
A Democratic president supervises a drone
program that violates the sovereignty of other
nations and kills innocents at his personal
command, also a program that could arguably subject him to potential criminal trial
by Nuremburg standards. But he too enjoys
enough support to receive a pass. We citizens
whose collective will our leaders are sworn to
enact continue in our moral ambivalence —
our troubled twoness. Instead of the practical imperative of the Golden Rule, that bow
toward the truth of interdependence found in
all the major world religions, we live by the
half-truth of “you’re either with us or against
us.”
At the fateful moment in October 1962
when superpower competition, in the form of
the Cuban Missile Crisis, brought the planet
as close as it has been to thermonuclear annihilation, who was the enemy? Who was the
“other”? Was it not war itself? Was it not ignorance itself? Why is this not equally true
in every competitive confrontation from the
international to the intimately personal?
We humans emerged from a uni-verse. This
is the single context out of which came all our
religions, all our cultural and ethnic diversity,
our constantly calibrated sense of twoness.
The great next step of the evolutionary process is from twoness to oneness, not as a New
Age bromide but as an evolutionary necessity.
This step can only take place in the way individual humans feel and think, as we, we upon
whose decisions rests the fate of all life-forms
on the planet, mature into willingness to look
into how we can contribute to the health of
the whole system.
Frost’s couplet distills the depth to which
competition is structured into evolution. But
we are awakening to the fundamental unity
behind our twoness. As a Peace Corps volunteer once said, “The earth is a sphere, and a
sphere has only one side. We are all on the
same side.” Muslims, Christians, Alawites,
Sunnis, Iranians, Jews, fans of Limbaugh,
fans of Maddow, horseshoe crabs — we’re all
in this together.

Dear Editor,
Judging for the 2012 America in Bloom
Awards Program is happening right now
all across the United States. The results of
this year’s program will be announced on
Saturday, September 22th at the America
in Bloom Symposium &amp; Awards in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
What is apparent to us, your judges,
is that Gallipolis is already blooming …
Blooming with volunteers and community
pride, with good government, with beautiful landscapes and parks, blooming in
countless other ways. It was a pleasure to

meet so many dedicated and passionate
residents, business people, and government
workers. We genuinely appreciated the opportunity we had to visit and we enjoyed
learning about Gallipolis; its past, present,
and future.
Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for
all everyone is doing to continue to improve
the quality of life in Gallipolis. We were truly impressed with what we saw.
All the best!
Diane Clasen and Bill Hahn

Reader responds to political article
Editor,
The June 8 article, “Frustrated liberals want more
from Obama,” a person
quoted complains that
Obama has “succumbed to
the corporate influence as
much as anyone else.” Indeed. And this is why I left
the Democrats. Exit Stage
Right, back to the Republicans as a moderate. Over
two years ago, I gave clear

indication that I was headed
in this direction. As a farewell to the wheezing burro
loaded down with corporate
largess I’ve borrowed Bogart’s parting shot to Bergman between takes: Here’s
looking at you kid.
The Right considers
Obama a socialist. Is Citadel
Investment Group socialist? The Blackstone Group?
Barely a year ago Obama

had more Wall Street contributions than all the GOP
candidates combined.
Also not long ago, John
Boehner remarked that
he had “Gotten about 95
percent of what he wanted
from Obama.” Is Boehner
a socialist? Obama a socialist? Only if Wall Street is
socialist.

Today’s movie princesses
want more than a prince
Sandy Cohen,

AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For modern movie
princesses, looking pretty and marrying a
prince isn’t enough.
Take “Mirror Mirror,” where Snow White
rescues her prince from an evil spell, or “Snow
White and the Huntsman,” where she becomes
the hunter who avenges her father, marries
none of her suitors and confidently runs her
kingdom alone.
Further upending the Cinderella syndrome
at a theater near you this weekend is Pixar’s
first ever female protagonist, the feisty Scottish Princess Merida of “Brave,” who demands
to forge her own independent future. She’s
also a far better shot than any of her would-be
princes.
This new breed of big-screen princess not
only reflects the independence — and athleticism — of young women today, but also Hollywood’s increasing willingness to tell their
stories.
The success of “Bridesmaids,” ”The Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Hunger
Games” showed us that audiences respond to
well-drawn heroes, regardless of their gender,
thus setting the stage for the classic literary

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.

convention of the princess to get a modern
makeover.
“It is time for a new paradigm,” said “Brave”
producer Katherine Sarafian. “We’ve got an opportunity to make more characters that are relatable to modern girls” and audiences at large.
These empowered young princesses point
to a gradual undoing of the so-called Cinderella syndrome or Cinderella complex, a theory
developed in the early 1980s that says that, like
Cinderella, many women seek something external — such as a rich and handsome prince
— to change their lives and harbor a deep desire for dependence.
“It’s not enough for women in the 21st century just to sit around and wait and be pretty,”
said Karen Sternheimer, a professor of sociology at the University of Southern California. “An
empowered heroine encountering a challenge
reflects the whole mythology of individualism.
What’s new is the means of achieving success.
It used to be through beauty or marriage only.
That hasn’t gone away, but now it can also be
through a skill or encountering a challenge that
traditionally we’ve heard in stories about men.”
In developing Princess Merida’s story in
“Brave,” Pixar writers and artists thought more
about character than gender, Sarafian said.

hour — wages that will be reimbursed
100 percent to the employer every
month.
Participants must work between
30 and 40 hours per week depending
upon their age.
“The whole point of the program
is to teach these kids how to be a
good employee,” Eplin said. “Teaching worth ethic is the main thing, but
learning a trade is also important.
There’s so much the kids can learn
from these people that have the experience just by being there and by giving
them a chance to see different kinds of
businesses and different types of jobs.
They will see things that maybe they
haven’t considered.”
Additionally, the participants will
be directed to apply and interview for
a particular position with each respec-

tive business — just as in a real-world
situation — solely for as a learning
process, according to Eplin.
“It’s a good program — it really is
— and the kids learn a lot,” she said.
Youth who participate in the program must live in a household with
an income limit based upon the 2012,
200 federal percent poverty level.
The 2012, 200 percent federal poverty level rates are as follows and are
based upon monthly income (figures
do not include child support): household of one — $1,862; household of
two — $2,522; household of three —
$3,182; household of four — $3,842;
household of five — $4,502; household of six — $5,162; household of
seven — $5,822; household of eight —
$6,482; household of nine — $7,142;
household of 10 — $7,802.
Additionally, to be eligible, there
must be someone in the household of

the participate who is under 18 or the
age of 18 and still in high school.
Those youth applying in the program must fill out an application
available at DJFS, 848 Third Avenue,
Gallipolis, and provide all household
members and gross income for the
past 30 days.
Participants must also provide a
copy of their social security card, birth
certificate and a photo identification.
Eplin encourages any interested employers or area youth to contact her at
the department of job and family services as soon as possible
“I’ll be happy to answer any question that anybody has if they want to

Industrial Commission of Ohio hosts OPERS seminar AP sources: U.S.
mulls new covert
raids in Pakistan

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
With a growing number of
questions regarding legislation that will make changes
to the Ohio Public Employ-

ees Retirement System (OPERS), state employees recently attended an OPERS
informational seminar to find
answers.

On behalf of the Industrial
Commission of Ohio, Chairman and CEO Karen L. Gillmor hosted the seminar Friday morning in the William
Green Building Auditorium
in Columbus.
“As the General Assembly
prepares to make numerous
changes to state retirement
systems, public employees
have many questions regarding the changes,” Gillmor
said. “The purpose of this
interactive forum was to explain the proposed legislative
changes and answer questions.”
OPERS
representatives
spent two hours discussing
recommended benefit changes proposed in Senate Bill
343 and how the changes will
affect state employees and
their families. They discussed
the challenges that OPERS
must overcome, while providing a detailed list of proposed
changes to pension and
health care plans. After the
presentation, representatives
took part in a Q&amp;A session
with the 350 attendees.
“Impending changes to
the OPERS system will affect the majority of our state
employees,” Gillmor said.
“The goal of this event was
to keep public employees upto-date on the magnitude of
the changes so that they can
make informed decisions
that will affect themselves

and their families.”
State employees from the
Ohio Department of Health,
Ohio Ethics Commission,
Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, Ohio Department of
Youth Services, Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Services and the
Ohio Department of Administrative Services were also
invited to attend the event.
“With so many meaningful and impactful changes
being proposed by OPERS,
we invited our neighboring
agencies to participate in this
forum,” Gillmor said.
The Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, the
largest of Ohio’s five state
retirement systems in asset value, is the 12th largest
statewide retirement system
and the 16th largest U.S. retirement plan. During the
presentation, OPERS representatives issued a legislative
call to action because continued legislative delays not only
affect the ability to continue
health care benefits, but also
have caused OPERS to forfeit
more than $700 million in potential savings — nearly $1
million per day.
“Our employees need to
make informed decisions
about their futures because
changes to OPERS may dramatically alter retirement
plans and employees’ options,” Gillmor said.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— U.S. military and intelligence officials are so
frustrated with Pakistan’s
failure to stop local militant groups from attacking
Americans in neighboring
Afghanistan that they have
considered launching secret joint U.S.-Afghan commando raids into Pakistan
to hunt them down, officials told The Associated
Press.
But the idea, which U.S.
officials say comes up every couple of months, has
been consistently rejected
because the White House
believes the chance of successfully rooting out the
deadly Haqqani network
would not be worth the intense diplomatic blowback
from Pakistan that inevitably would ensue.

Clark wins 2nd W.Va. Open title
SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (AP) — Jonathan Clark got the win that narrowly escaped him the last time the West
Virginia Open was held at Edgewood
Country Club in Sissonville.
Clark used a strong start to post a
6-under-par 65 Friday for a six-stroke
victory.
Clark went 5 under on the front
nine alone to win rather comfortably
over Charleston pro Christian Brand
and three-time defending champion
David Bradshaw.

Clark, who is the head pro and general manager of Sleepy Hollow Golf
Club in Hurricane, finished with a
12 under total and earned his second
Open win. The other came in 2001.
Bradshaw shot 70 and Brand shot
71. Both finished at 6 under. Hurricane amateur Sam O’Dell was fourth
at 5 under.
It marked the best winning score
at the Open in relation to par since
1995, when Scott Davis finished at
12 under at Canaan Valley Resort.

The six-shot margin of victory was
the most since John Ross beat Clark
by seven in 1999 at Guyan Golf and
Country Club in Huntington.
Clark improved six shots from the
total he posted when he lost to Bradshaw by one stroke on the final hole
at Edgewood in 2004.
This year’s tournament was decided much earlier.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. talks with
a crew member in the garage following practice at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, February 25.

Road at Sonoma might be
welcoming for Earnhardt
SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. knows exactly where he stacks up on road courses.
“I don’t really take them lightly, but I know that’s not my
forte,” he said Friday. “That’s not really where my bread is
buttered.”
The statistics speak for themselves: In 12 career starts at
Sonoma, Earnhardt has never finished higher than 11th. At
Watkins Glen, the only other road course on the Sprint Cup
Series schedule, he has three top-10 finishes — but none
since 2005.
But he’s running so well this season, Earnhardt believes
he has a shot Sunday on the 10-turn, 1.99-mile scenic Sonoma course.
“We have had such a good season, and we come in here
and we want to continue that,” he said.
Earnhardt ended his four-year losing streak last weekend
at Michigan. He’d been steadily working his way toward Victory Lane all year, the most consistent driver through the
first 15 races. He leads the series with 12 top-10 finishes,
and he’s the only driver to complete every lap this season.
He’s wary, though, of what the good results mean.
“I don’t know really, momentum, whether it’s real or not,”
he said. “You just kind of keep going to the race track and
keep studying and keep testing and keep trying to learn and
take the best thing you can to the race track each week. If
you have a bad week, you’ve got to put it behind you and foSee SONOMA ‌| B2

How to make a playhouse
into a useful deer stand
Jim Freeman
In The Open

One of the nice things
about living in the country
is the freedom to do off-thewall sort of things; things
that a person just couldn’t
get away with inside city
limits.
Case in point: in our yard
there was a children’s playhouse, you know the sort,
constructed of two-by-fours
and decking, festooned
with ladders, slides and
swings with a canopy on
top. For some reason here
lately my 20-somethingyear-old daughters don’t
use it very often.
My thinking was that
- with just a few modifications - the playhouse could
make a dandy deer-hunting
platform, perfect for a little
pop-up hunting blind. The
idea was a textbook example of what I call “Appalachian practicality and
sensibility,” but coming up
with an alternate use for
the playhouse and putting
it into practice are two radically different things, and
the most obvious question
was how to get the heavy
wooden structure into the
woods in the first place.
Width-wise the playhouse
was going to be a snug fit for
my utility trailer, so my wife
and I removed the tattered
canopy and used a chain
saw to remove the “arms”
where the swings and rope
ladders used to hang, then
backed the trailer up close

to it and then plopped the
heavy structure into the
trailer on its side and fastened it onto the deck.
From that point on it was
going to be an easy trip
across the field, up the hill
and into the woods, or so
I thought. Once into the
woods, the Jeep bogged
down in a perennial wet,
muddy spot, which required
the use of the old tractor to
pull both the Jeep and the
trailer onto the hill to a
preselected location for the
new elevated hunting blind.
I am sure the sight of my
old Jeep pulling the playhouse into the woods would
have been a humorous one
to any onlookers, so for
that reason I was careful
to make sure there were no
witnesses to the hijinks.
Eventually we reached
the designated point, at
which time the question became how to unload it?
My immediate idea was
to back the whole contraption up to a tree, fasten a
strap to the top-most brace,
and then pull out from underneath it, dropping it in
the desired location. Too
simple, right? Of course
this is also there point
where anything could go
wrong.
“Watch this!” I called out
as I slowly pulled the Jeep
forwards. Of course everybody knows that “Hey y’all,
watch this!” are generally a
redneck’s final words.

LeBron James speaks to the media at the end of Game 5 as the Miami Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 121-106 in
the NBA champioship, at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida, Thursday.

(AP)
— On the same sidewalk

headed to the new downtown casino.
Just another summer

While James was in Miami celebrating his first
NBA title, fans in the city

Those days have long past.

“In a way I’m kind of

toward him — everyone

This city, yearning to
celebrate its first pro sport

two entering the final round but couldn’t match the pair
of 4-under 67s that he shot in the first two rounds. He
shot 75 and slid into a tie for fifth with Concord University assistant golf coach Darcy Donaldson, who shot 70.
Clark, Berner and Brand played in the final group Friday.
Clark had two early birdies, made eagle with a 25-foot
putt on the par-5 fifth hole and birdied the par-4 ninth
to move to 11 under, four shots ahead of Berner and six
ahead of Bradshaw and Brand.
Clark’s only blemish was a bogey at No. 12, a par 4. Berner bogeyed the same hole and couldn’t gain any ground,
becoming the latest host pro to fall short of winning the
tournament.
Clark’s lead over Berner grew to five strokes after a
birdie at the par-5 14th. Brand, the first-round leader, saw
his chances end after a bogey at No. 14.
Back-to-back birdies for Bradshaw on Nos. 14 and 15
weren’t enough. Clark wrapped up the win with an eagle
on the par-5 16th.
Both of Clark’s eagle putts made in the round came
from off the green. The only thing that slowed his momentum was a 15-minute lightning delay near the end of
the round.
Locally, three golfers made the cut at the open. Trent
Roush finished tied for 12th at three over par for the tournament. Ty Roush finished tied for 26th at seven over
par for the tournament, and Tony Dugan finished tied for
38th at 12 over par.

He appreciated the visits to Victory

Earnhardt is NASCAR’s most popular

“I think it was good for us to see him

they’re on him.”
Not long after James’ victory, Twitter and other social media sites overflowed
with negative comments
directed at the three-time
MVP. But Cavs owner Dan
Gilbert, who accused James
of quitting on the Cavs and
promised his team would
win a title before the “socalled King” didn’t pile on.
“Great NBA season,” Gilbert posted on (at)cavsdan.
“Enjoyed playoffs. Congratulations to Miami &amp;
OKC for an exciting Finals.
Back to work on next week’s
promising Cavs draft.”
Instead of dwelling on
James, many Cleveland fans
are focusing on what appears to be a bright future
for the Cavs. The team has
the No. 4 overall pick in
next week’s draft, four selec-

tions in the top 34 and hope
to add some quality players
to put around guard Kyrie
Irving, the reigning rookie
of the year.
At last, it’s time to look
forward, not back.
“I think people have
moved on and are at peace
with it,” said Chuck Kyle,
coach of high school football
powerhouse Saint Ignatius.
“It’s been two years since
LeBron left. It hurt for a
while, but now it’s time to
forget it.”
While there are those
who will never forgive him,
James has a sprinkling of
supporters in Cleveland.
“My dad loves him,”
Darrin Cappy said of his
82-year-old father, Bruno.
“He’d love LeBron no matter
where he played. He loves
to talk about LeBron, and I
know that’s all I’m going to
hear about all weekend.”

The slack came out of the line as the Jeep and the trailer
with the playhouse on top slowly moved forwards until
the playhouse stopped against the back of the trailer deck.
Then ever-so-slowly the playhouse began to slowly right
itself up into the air until it reached the point where if it
fell forwards it could slam back down onto the deck of the
trailer or, if I continued advancing, it would fall backwards
onto the ground.
I continued pulling ahead. For a moment the whole structure tottered precariously like a drunk after last call, then
crashed the ground, tottered again as it threatened to continue rolling, then pitched back forward landing halfway
onto the trailer, which was unamused and yet unharmed
by the entire incident.
“Wooohooo!” I hollered in exultation.
From there it was a simple matter of pulling away from
underneath the playhouse, and then - since it hadn’t suffered enough indignation - backing into it with the trailer
to nudge it into the desired location.
So now I am waiting for deer season to approach so I can
put the converted playhouse to good use, but for now it is
just a plaything for the squirrels, birds and other critters.
Only 97 days to go.

Mattia was a member of

which re-wrote the school record
book throughout the course of the
indoor and outdoor season.
The squad — which also included seniors Kayla Graves and
Kayla Renner, junior Amy Lower
and freshman Samantha Barnes
— captured the Mid-South Conference championship by finishing
in a time of 9:20.75 – a mark that
eclipsed the previous school-best

URG Sports Information Director

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Cassie
Mattia, who recently completed
an outstanding career as a runner
at the University of Rio Grande,
has been named a third team selection to the 2012 Capital One
Academic All-America College
Division women’s track and field/
cross country team by the College
Sports Information Directors of
America (CoSIDA).
The West Chester, Ohio native,
who carried a 3.77 grade point average as a Communications major,

time they’d set in March at Coastal Carolina University’s Shamrock
Invitational by nearly eight full
seconds.
It was almost 28 seconds faster
than the previous MSC meet record.
The foursome, including Lower
as an alternate, advanced to the
NAIA National Championship,
but narrowly missed qualifying
for the finals in the event.
Mattia also set a new MSC meet
record in the 800-meter run with
her finish of 2:16.37, bettering the
old mark of 2:17.20 that she had
established one year earlier.

That time, however, was nearly two seconds slower than the
school-best 2:14.71, which she
ran on April 21 at the Eastern
Kentucky Open – a mark which
qualified her for the national
championship. Her finish in the
EKU Open bettered her previous
school record of 2:14.94 which,
earlier this year, erased the previous school record of 2:15.20 set
by Rio Grande Hall of Famer Perri
Martin 32 years ago.
Unfortunately, Mattia also narrowly missed qualifying for the
finals at the national championships.

CoSIDA’s Academic All-America program is divided into eight
geographic districts across the
United States and Canada. This
is the first year that the program
has expanded from recognizing a
University Division (Division I)
and a College Division (all nonDivision I) to separate teams for
NCAA Division I, NCAA Division
II, NCAA Division III and College
(a combination of NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools).
Student-athletes who are named
to the All-District first team then
become eligible for All-America
honors.

In the mid 1800s Lemuel and Lydia Winget purchased land from
the Story family and constructed this two story building which
for the past 112 years has been occupied by the Modern Woodman of America. Mildred Zeigler, 91, who has been secretary for
50 years, shares some memories with Dale Colburn.

Call it Burlingham
or ‘Bungtown’
Charlene Hoeflich
choeflich@mydailysentinel.com

BURLINGHAM — It
sometimes takes researching the history of a place
to come to an appreciation
of its background, and an
understanding of the influence it had on the lives
of its residents.
Take Burlingham, or
“Bungtown” as many of us
call it.
Today it’s a sleepy little
town along old Route 33
with a handful of residents
and no businesses.
In the mid-1800’s it was
a different story.
J. M. Hamilton opened a
jewelry store, Ellis Quivey
and John Devenny went
into the carpentry business, J. L. Hayes opened
a general story.C. L, Morris started a blacksmith
business, J. H. Thurston and J. A. Campbell
came to town to practice
medicine, M.M. Dewees
opened a photography
shop, William Clay offered
optical goods and was a
sales agent for Speciality
American Needle, and McGluchen and Tubbs began
operation of a saw mill.
By 1855 the Burlingham Grist Mill was in operation, and about 1873,
a third doctor, Dr. Harvey Winget (an ancestor
of the late Bob Wingett,
longtime publisher of this
paper) set up a practice in
Burlingham.
Soon after Lemuel and
Lydia Winget purchased
land from the Story family
on which some years later
they constructed the two
story building currently
owned and occupied by
the Modern Woodmen of
America.
As for how Burlingham became known as
“Bungtown” an article in
the Dec. 17, 1884 Meigs
County Telegraph tells
this story.
“Leroy Jones, one of the
first settlers of the township, had invited a number
of hands to assist in building a mill dam immediately above the village, and
of course Mr. Jones had
to set up the whisky. A jug
filled with the disturbing
element was procured at
the then unnamed village,
and fruits of a liberal indulgence were soon visible.
“Quarrels were stirred
up, one of which led to
blows. The parties to
this slugging match were
Meeks and Kirk, and it
seems that Meeks was the
underdog in the fight, hav-

ing been knocked down
and had his eyes badly
‘bunged.’
“This occurrence suggested the name ‘Bungtown’ which was then given to the place by Joseph
Sloan.”
While Burlingham was
growing in population
and becoming more prosperous as the years went
by, so were other areas
of the country. The great
gold rush was going on in
the west and some Meigs
County
adventuresome
men were packing up and
heading out to join in the
search for gold.
One of those men was
Nelson Story, the youngest son of Ira and Hannah

from New Hampshire several years earlier. By the

Social Security Column

Summertime’s the right time for electronic payments
Marcus Geiger

Social Security District Manager
Gallipolis, Ohio

When you are away from home,
one thing you don’t want to worry
about is how you will receive your
next monthly Social Security payment. That is why it is important
for everyone receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) benefits to sign up
for electronic payments.
These days, almost everyone
gets benefit payments electroni-

cally. Today, about 90 percent of
all Social Security and SSI beneficiaries receive their payments
electronically. That number is increasing because the law requires
that by March 1, 2013 all federal
benefit payments, including Social Security and SSI payments,
be made electronically. Whether
you receive Social Security or SSI,
you can depend on your payment
arriving in your account on time,
every time. If you don’t already
receive electronic payments,
there are many good reasons to

sign up. For one, less money and
time spent driving to the bank to
cash your check helps you save.
Second, fewer paper checks, envelopes, and stamps, and less fuel to
deliver the checks means savings
for the government.
Hurricane season is here for
some areas of the country. Other
regions bear the brunt of flooding. Some areas of the nation are
plagued by tornadoes, and still
others must deal with wildfires,
severe thunderstorms, or even
earthquakes. If you are unfortu-

nate enough to be in the path of
a natural disaster, the last thing
you want is for your income to be
interrupted because of an evacuation or a missing mailbox. With
electronic payments, you know
your money will be in your account on time no matter what.
When on vacation, an electronic
payment ensures payments will be
deposited into your account on
time, so there’s no reason to worry about the safety of your benefit
or to ask a neighbor to look out
for your check when you are away.

As an added bonus, many banks
offer free checking accounts for
people who use direct deposit because it saves the bank the cost of
processing paper payments.
Skip the line at the bank, save
money, get your payment faster,
and know you can depend on
your payment being in the bank
no matter what happens or where
you are. You can do all of this with
electronic payments. Learn more
about it at www.socialsecurity.

Special Needs Parenting (SNP): I did NOT sign-up for this!
Jodi Hobbs-Saunders
Mother and home educator
to two special needs children

One of the worst days of
my life — and one that I
shall never forget — happened about a year and a
half ago when my daughter
was six years old. Let me
explain. I am a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at age 24 and had a
double mastectomy with
reconstruction
including
silicon implants. Watching
me exit the shower, she
calmly looked at me and
asked, “Mommy, how old
will I be before they cut my
chest off and give me my
implants?” I was horrified
and explained to her that
probably wouldn’t happen.
But the honest truth is, it
very well may. She, at such
a young age, knew instinctively what took our modern science years and many
research studies to find out
— that children of mothers diagnosed at extremely
young ages have very high
rates of being diagnosed
with breast cancer themselves.
In my last column, I introduced you to my autistic son, Connor. I am also
the fiercely proud mother,
advocate and teacher to
my angelic-faced daughter
Aurora. She is an extraordinary child who faces unbelievable challenges with
a courage and grace beyond
her years. Yet, Aurora is
our family’s second special
needs child. At the age of
seven, she battles medical
and psychological demons
no child should be forced to
suffer.
Aurora has been diag-

nosed with Rapidly Cycling
Bipolar Type 2, Generalized
Anxiety Disorder (GAD),
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD),
Pediatric Migraines with
Aura, Convulsions that may
be Nonepileptic Seizures,
and Leber’s Hereditary
Optic Neuropathy (LHON)
that is slowly destroying
her eyesight and may lead
to legal or complete blindness.
Those technical and terrifying diagnosis do not
define my daughter. Aurora
begged to learn to read,
and at the age of four, flew
through the Hooked on
Phonics program. She remains a voracious reader
who is physically attached
to her Kindle reader, which
allows her to touch any
word and see the dictionary definition. She devours adult poetry books
and read an adult Stargate
Universe Sci-Fi 800-page
novel in a week. When her
father and I sat her down
and explained the LHON
diagnosis and the fact she
might go totally blind, her
first and only words were
a request to learn Braille
as soon as possible so she
could continue to read. She
has proven to me she is the
pillar of strength I always
prayed my daughter would
be.
Aurora’s OCD focuses
in a peculiar manner. She
is obsessed with Sci-Fi
and particularly strong,
extremely intelligent characters in books and TV
series. To date, all of her
heroes are either scientists
or prodigies. Dr. Rush, the
brilliant scientist in Star-

gate Universe, and Charlie,
the math prodigy and CalSci Professor in “Numbers,”
are among her current obsessions. Stargate Universe
forced me to explain Faster
Than Light (FTL) starship
engines to a six-year-old.
“Numbers,” required a discussion on algorithms and
criminal profiling. Charlie’s
brother Don is a FBI agent
who once shot his gun in
the course of duty. Due
to her insistent inquiries
about the law, I spent half
a day googling FBI procedures on firearms.
Her Rapidly Cycling Bipolar Type 2 creates many
days where she’s hysterically giggling one moment,
and five minutes later she’s
deeply depressed, hostile
and uncooperative. Her
episodes of Bipolar mania
are causing her to storm
back and forth through our
house until she slams into
walls head-on to relieve
the unbearable stress. We
went through recent phases
where she was afraid neighbors were going to come
out of their open garages
during our evening walks
and “get her”, or the weeks
she wouldn’t sleep due to
fears strangers were going
to come through her bedroom window and hurt her.
During this school year, she
had a migraine every day
for 30 days straight and lost
her vision during two separate standardized tests.
So where does this lead
me as a mother and us as
a family? We have some
tough medical, educational
and social battles to fight.
Yes, my daughter is medically disabled and a special
needs child. But I could not

Aurora Saunders and the family cat, Rhea

have been prouder when
she independently requested to be placed in the Latin
class next year in the third
grade. She shares a childhood dream of mine to
grow up to become a writer.
Combating her anxiety of
strangers and groups of people, she is excited to attend
a children’s writing camp at
our local literary center in
a few weeks. The struggles
we share as a family raising Aurora are beyond a

hardship. Yet I am utterly
convinced my daughter is
a beacon in the night who
will contribute to society in
unbelievable ways. One day
in the future, she will take
her place as an amazing
journalist or the next great
American novelist.
Thank you, dear readers,
for allowing me to introduce my two children and
our remarkable, yet often
challenging, lives. Please
join me in upcoming col-

umns as I further explore
various other issues facing
families with special needs
children. I invite you to visit
my Facebook page for this
column, “I did not sign up
for this Special Needs Parenting,” for additional stories and pictures that space
restraints will not permit
me to share here.

WWE superstar John Cena grants 300th Make-A-Wish
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) —
WWE superstar John Cena granted his 300th wish to a 7-year-old
Pennsylvania boy with a spinal
condition, continuing his streak
as the most popular celebrity
granter in Make-A-Wish Foundation history.
Jonny Littman wanted to meet
his hero, and the WWE accommodated that wish Monday night
before an episode of “Raw” live
from New York’s Long Island. But
Jonny got a bonus to his wish.
On Wednesday morning, Jonny
was being interviewed on “Good

Morning America” when Sam
Champion asked him about his
green T-shirt. After Jonny told
him it was John Cena, Champion
asked if anyone knew the WWE
Superstar.
The pro wrestler and actor
walked out to Jonny’s surprise
and presented him with another
gift. This time it was tickets for
him and his family to attend the
1,000th episode of the WWE
show.
To put Cena’s 300 granted wishes in perspective, Michael Jordan
has granted around 200 and Kobe

Bryant is in the 100-wish range.
“I truly give hats off to Make-AWish for keeping statistics,” Cena
said Monday before the show.
“They had a nice little celebration
for me at 200, and I humbly said
we should do it at 1,000.
“We’re just getting started,” he
said enthusiastically.
But Cena was clearly touched
by the latest one.
“I’m just flattered completely
that I could be the wish,” he said.
Jonny, from Hop Bottom, Pa.,
has severe congenital malformation and spina bifida and uses a

wheelchair. He spoke to his hero
for a few minutes and took some
pictures with him.
He even put on his WWE
Championship belt. His mother,
Ruth, says his surgeons wore it
during his last surgery.
After signing T-shirts and
WWE merchandise and presenting him with a videogame system,
the superstar graciously walked
out of the room. Cena prepared
for his featured match, and Jonny
and his family waited to go into
the Nassau Coliseum for a live
televised weekly show, “Raw.”

After he left the room, Jonny
chanted: “Cena. John Cena.
Cena.”
Cena is following a WWE tradition of granting wishes. The organization grants about 140 wishes
per year between requests to meet
WWE Superstars or attend its live
shows. The tradition started in
the early 1980s with Hulk Hogan
being the most requested.
And while these wishes make
children with life-threatening
medical conditions feel good for
the moment, organizers say they
also have a lasting effect.

Ohio University, and had taught school.
He is said to have “succumbed to
the romance of the west, walked to the
Ohio River, worked out his passage to
St. Louis aboard a steamboat, took another steamer up the Missouri, and went
ashore at Fort Leavenworth in the Kansas Territory with $36 in his pocket.
It didn’t take long for Nelson to learn
about gold mines and stage coaches,
and men being robbed and killed, and to
know that he had to stay armed day and
night just to protect himself and his possessions. He got a job, worked for a time
and saved his money. He heard about a
land claim that he felt hadn’t been worked
properly so he bought it and the story as
his great nephew, Charles Henderson,
told in a magazine article years later, “he
produced $30,000 in gold which he exchanged for $20,000 in greenbacks and
headed out to buy some cattle. The year
was 1866.
Nelson bought 3,000 longhorns in
Texas, hired some cowboys and began
the drive north to Montana. During
the long drive, they repeated fought off
Sioux warriors before getting the cattle

to a ranch he had bought in Gallatin Valley. The drive, which according to all accounts should have been a disaster, became one of the West’s most memorable
success stories and was the basis for a
novel called “Lonesome Dove.”
The man who left Burlingham in Meigs
County penniless became the largest
breeder of cattle and horses in Montana,
and as his fortune grew, he expanded
into other businesses, established a bank
and a large flour mill, and began giving
back to his community where several
buildings bear his name today.
A dozen or so years ago, cousins of the
Story family, some of which still live in
Meigs County, gathered at the Modern
Woodmen Hall in Burlingham to celebrate Nelson Story Day. There was a
visit to the Burlingham Cemetery where
many members of the Story family are
buried and a walk across the road to the
old Burlingham church where many attended over the years.
Sunday services are still held in that
little old church first built with logs in
1843 and then rebuilt in 1889 after the
original log structure burned.

Who’s landing the big
interviews after Oprah?
NEW YORK (AP) —
Since
Oprah
Winfrey
packed up the couch that
Tom Cruise jumped on and
ended her daytime talk
show last year, no one has
truly filled her role as the
top go-to person in television for major celebrity and
news interviews.
Now someone is trying
to claim that spot — and
would you believe it’s Oprah
again?
Faced with the potential
failure of her money-pit cable network OWN, Winfrey
is working the phones hard
to secure big-name interviews for her show, “Oprah’s
Next Chapter.” Back-toback episodes last Sunday

featured the Kardashian
family and rapper 50 Cent,
and the Kardashians will be
back this weekend. Michael
Jackson’s daughter Paris
and the late Whitney Houston’s family made news with
their interviews in recent
weeks.
The open question is
whether she can have the
same cultural impact on
a smaller stage. Winfrey’s
daytime talk show was
generally seen by around 6
million people in her final
years; “Oprah’s Next Chapter” with the Kardashians
was seen by 1.1 million
viewers, according to the
Nielsen company.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Broadcasters anticipating a
major constitutional ruling
on the government’s authority to regulate what can
be shown and said on the
airwaves instead won only
the smallest of Supreme
Court victories Thursday.
The justices unanimously
threw out fines and other
penalties against Fox and
ABC television stations
that violated the Federal
Communications Commission policy regulating curse
words and nudity on television airwaves.
Forgoing a broader constitutional ruling, however,
the court concluded only
that broadcasters could not
have known in advance that
obscenities uttered during
awards show programs on
Fox stations and a brief
display of nudity on an
episode of ABC’s “NYPD
Blue” could give rise to penalties. ABC and 45 affiliates
had been hit with proposed
fines totaling nearly $1.24
million.
Broadcasters had argued
that the revolution in technology that has brought the
Internet, satellite television
and cable has made the
rules themselves obsolete.
The regulations apply only
to broadcast channels.
The justices said the FCC
is free to revise its indecency policy, which is intended
to keep the airwaves free of
objectionable material during the hours when children
are likely to be watching.
The agency’s chairman,
Julius Genachowski, said
the ruling “appears to be
narrowly limited to procedural issues related to
actions taken a number of
years ago. Consistent with

Anthony Kennedy said in
his opinion for the court
that “it is unnecessary for
the court to address the
constitutionality of the current policy.”
The narrow decision,
coupled with the more than
five months that elapsed
between the argument in
January and Thursday’s
decision, could mean that
the justices struggled and
failed to reach agreement
on a broader outcome.
Broadcasters argue that
viewers now have many
options, unlike the handful of channels they had
available in the 1960s and
1970s when the court last
weighed in on indecency on
the airwaves. In many cases, viewers don’t even know
when they are switching between the older broadcast
channels and cable.
Still, the regulated broadcast channels provide what
the government has called
a safe haven of milder programming, and those channels remain dominant, even
in the Internet age, the administration argued.
Paul Smith, a First
Amendment expert and
partner with the Jenner and
Block law firm in Washington, said the court should
expect more challenges until it rules definitively.
“The Supreme Court decided to punt on the opportunity to issue a broad rul-

of indecent material that
aired after the FCC explained its new policy.
“Once again the Supreme
Court has ruled against the
networks in their yearslong
campaign to obliterate
broadcast decency standards,” Winter said.
The material at issue in
Thursday’s decision included the isolated use of expletives as well as fines against
broadcasters who showed a
woman’s nude buttocks on
a 2003 episode of “NYPD
Blue.”
In December 2002, singer Cher used the phrase
“F—- ‘em” during the Billboard Music Awards show
on the Fox television network. A month later, U2
lead singer Bono uttered
the phrase “f——— brilliant” during NBC’s broadcast of the Golden Globes
awards show. During the
December 2003 Billboard
awards show on Fox, reality show star Nicole Richie
said, “Have you ever tried
to get cow s—- out of a
Prada purse? It’s not so
f———simple.”
But the challenge went
beyond just the penalties
for the use of fleeting expletives.
The broadcasters wanted the court to free them
from all regulation of content around the clock. The
court’s 1978 Pacifica decision upheld the FCC’s reprimand of a New York radio
station for airing a George
Carlin monologue containing a 12-minute string of
expletives in the middle of
the afternoon.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in a brief opinion
that she would have overturned the Pacifica ruling,
which she called wrong
even when it was decided.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor
did not take part in the
current case because she
was involved in an earlier
version while sitting as an
appeals court judge in New
York.
The case is FCC v. Fox,
10-1293.

ing on the constitutionality
of the FCC indecency policy. The issue will be raised
again as broadcasters will
continue to try to grapple
with the FCC’s vague and
inconsistent enforcement
regime,” said Smith, who
wrote a brief supporting
the broadcasters.
The case arose from a
change in the FCC’s longstanding policy on curse
words.
For many years, the
agency did not take action against broadcasters
for one-time uses of curse
words. But after several
awards shows with cursing celebrities in 2002 and
2003, the FCC toughened
its policy after it concluded
that a one-free-expletive
rule did not make sense in
the context of keeping the
airwaves free of indecency
when children are likely to
be watching television.
But Kennedy, in the ruling throwing out the fines,
said the commission did
not adequately explain that
under the new policy “a
fleeting expletive or a brief
shot of nudity could be actionably indecent.”
The stepped-up indecency enforcement, which included issuing record fines
for violations, also was
spurred in part by widespread outrage following
Janet Jackson’s breast-baring performance during the
2004 Super Bowl halftime
show on CBS.
That incident and the
FCC’s proposed fine of
$550,000 are not part of the
current case. The government has an appeal pending of a lower court ruling
that threw out the fine in
that case.
The 2004 Super Bowl
took place before the FCC
later that year laid out its
new policy and the possibility of fines for even onetime utterances of certain
words.
Tim Winter, president
of the Parents Television
Council, said he read the
new decision as a “green
light” for the FCC to rule
against broadcasters in the
many pending complaints
