RUTLAND TWP — A
single-engine plane crash
left one dead on Friday in
a remote wooded area of
Meigs County.
Gerald
Chamberlain,
72, of Raeford, N.C., was
pronounced dead at the
scene by the Meigs County Coroner Douglas Hunter, according to a news release from the Ohio State
Highway Patrol.
Chamberlain, the pilot,
was the sole occupant of
the 2007 Escapade singleengine, fixed-wing aircraft.
Crews discovered a red
and white, single-engine
plane near Zion Road just
after 1 p.m. on Friday.
The plane was found in
a wooded area following
a search by several firefighters on four-wheelers
in the area between Zion
Church Road, Smith Run
and New Lima Road.
Danny Davis of the
Rutland Fire Department
said that a call had been
received of a low-flying
plane which made a left
hand turn before the engine stalled at approximately 11:42 p.m. The
caller then heard an explosion in the area where
crews began the search.
A news release by the
Ohio State Highway Patrol added that the witness said the engine
sounded like it was sput-

tering then wet silent seconds before going down
in the wooded area.
The Rutland Fire Department, Meigs EMS,
Meigs Sheriff’s Office
and the Ohio State Highway Patrol were on scene
early Friday afternoon. A
staging area was set up at
Fort Meigs to control the
scene.
The crash remains under investigation by the
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration (FAA). Investigators believe the cause of
the crash was a mechanical failure based on a witness statement.

POMEROY — A Pomeroy business that was
owned and operated by
Nease family members
for over a half century has
been sold.
The Fabric Shop on
West Main Street operated for the past 20 years
by Becky Nease Anderson
has been sold to Kathy
Reed and Karen Walker,
retired teachers, and to
Cathy Cooper, a current
employee. The new owners announced that they
will continue the operation
much as it has been in the
past, while gradually expanding some of the current merchandising and
services.
More emphasis will be
placed on teaching sewing skills with additional
classes being offered in
basic sewing skills, beginning and advanced quilting, and other stitchery
skills such as embroidery.
The new owners said they
plan to add another quilting machine since that is
a growing business, and
also plan to add a line of
quality sewing machines.
Materials, patterns and notions will be expanded as
the need occurs.
The other services, like
alternations, dry cleaning and tuxedo rental will
continue to be provided by
The Fabric Shop.
Ada Nease and her
mother, Amber Warner,

years in the business repairing sewing machines

a.m. on Friday, July 20, 2012, at the St. Mary’s Medical
Center in Huntington, West Virginia. Born October 27,

Romney plans foreign trip,
audition as U.S. leader
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney auditions on
the international stage next week as he travels to England, Israel and Poland looking to establish credibility
as a potential commander in chief in his challenge to
President Barack Obama.
For the Republican presidential hopeful — a former
private equity executive and Massachusetts governor
with little formal experience overseas — it’s a chance
to demonstrate competence in settings often occupied
by presidents. He’ll hold formal meetings with foreign
leaders, give public speeches and visit historic sites.
Aides say it’s a chance for the candidate to forge
links with strong U.S. allies and show that he’ll stand
up for shared values.
There’s also risk: Romney, sometimes prone to misstatements, faces higher stakes wading into delicate
diplomatic disputes than he does on the more familiar
campaign trail at home. And executing a complicated
trip through three countries over a weeklong span
presents the most difficult logistical challenge Romney’s campaign has yet faced.
The centerpiece of the trip is a politically delicate
visit to Israel, where he meets with top leaders who
are closing in on a critical decision about whether to
launch a military strike on Iran that is opposed by the
Obama administration. The relationship with Israel
and the question of what to do about Iran’s suspected
nuclear weapons ambitions represent one of the starkest contrasts between Obama and Romney, who mostly has defined his foreign policy largely in terms of his
opponent.
“If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. And if you elect Mitt Romney, Iran will
not have a nuclear weapon,” Romney said last year at a
GOP primary debate focused on foreign policy.
The Israel visit comes on July 28, when Romney will
meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S.
Ambassador Daniel Shapiro and President Shimon
Peres. Romney advisers won’t say if he will visit the
West Bank, but he does plan a meeting with Salam
Fayyad, the Palestinian Authority prime minister.
The trip will be Romney’s fourth visit to Israel — he
visited in 2011 and gave a speech at the Herzliya Conference in 2007, an address his advisers say will guide
his visit next week.
“I believe that Iran’s leaders and ambitions represent
the greatest threat to the world since the fall of the Soviet Union, and before that, Nazi Germany,” Romney
said during his 2007 speech.
The trip will also allow him to reach out to Jewish
voters in the U.S. — and also to evangelical Christians,
a critical portion of the Republican base traditionally
zealous about protecting the Jewish state.
“I think, by and large, you can just look at the things
the president has done and do the opposite,” Romney
told an evangelical Christian group in June when asked
how he would approach the American relationship
with Israel.

Private student loans parallel subprime
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— Risky lending caused
private student loan debt to
balloon in the past decade,
leaving many Americans
struggling to pay off loans
that they can’t afford, a government study says.
Private lenders gave out
money without considering
whether borrowers would
repay, then bundled and resold the loans to investors
to avoid losing money when
students defaulted, according to the study released
Friday.
Those practices are closely associated with subprime
mortgage lending, which
inflated the housing bubble
and helped bring about the
2008 financial crisis.
“Subprime-style lending
went to college, and now
students are paying the
price,” said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, whose
department produced the
report with the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau.
Duncan said the government must do more to
ensure that people who received private loans enjoy
the same protections as
those who borrow from the
federal government.
Student loans fall into two
main categories: Loans directly from the government
and those offered by banks
and other private financial
companies. The report focused on private student
loans, which spiked from $5
billion in loans originated in
2001 to more than $20 billion in 2008. After the financial crisis, as lending standards tightened, the market
shrank to $6 billion in 2011.
American consumers still
owe more than $150 billion
in private student loan debt,
the study said. Including
federal loans, Americans
now owe more than $1 trillion in student loan debt,
according to the CFPB. It
has surpassed credit card
debt as the biggest source
of unsecured debt for U.S.
consumers.
Private student loans are
riskier than federal loans,
the study said. They often
carry variable interest rates,
which can cause monthly
payments to rise unexpectedly. Federal loans offer
fixed interest rates.
In many cases, if a borrower is unable to repay,
federal loans can be postponed or reduced. Those
options are rare for private
loans, the study said.
Students often did not
understand the difference
between federal and private
loans, the study said. That
caused many to take out
costly student loans when
they were eligible for cheaper, safer government loans.
The study highlights a
unique feature of student
debt: Unlike other credit
card balances and most
other debt, it is nearly impossible to cancel student
debt by filing for bank-
ruptcy. That leaves many
borrowers trapped, behind
on loans that lenders are unwilling to modify, the study
said. There are more than
850,000 private loans in default, worth more than $8.1
billion, it said.
“Too many student loan
borrowers are struggling to
pay off private student loans
that they did not understand
and cannot afford,” said
Richard Cordray, director
of the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau. The
CFPB was created in the
wake of the financial crisis
to protect people against unfair loans, unexpected fees
and other financial threats.
Lending standards for
private student loans were
loose during the credit
bubble of the mid-2000s,
the report said. Because
private lenders marketed
directly to students, bypassing school financial aid officers, schools did not review
borrowers’ financial needs
or enrollment status. As a
result, many borrowed far
more than they needed to
pay for tuition. The loans
went to people with increasingly weak credit scores,
making repayment less likely, the study said.
The head of a trade group
representing for-profit colleges said in a statement that
private loans sometimes are
necessary for people to complete their degrees.
“These loans provide students access to higher education opportunities that
they would otherwise not be
able to pursue,” said Steve
Gunderson, president and
CEO of the Association of
Private Sector Colleges and
Universities.

Security increased at
movies following shootings
Dear A.V.: Having children surely
isn’t for everyone, and the age at
which you decide to settle down and
start a family can vary widely depending on career goals, how your parents
handled things and a whole host of
other complicated attitudes that you
can never even hope to sort out. There
is always keen interest in which course
is better — going childless or having
kids — and if marriage needs to be a
part of it. As you can imagine, this is
quite a controversial topic, and one
that has no right answer. So, knowing
yourself and your partner (if you have
one) is really key, because no survey
or study will tell you what you should
do.
That said, a recent report by the
Population Association of America
revealed that of thousands of adults
worldwide, parents seem to be getting
happier in the years since 1995 when
compared with childless couples. The
best time for parents was during the
time of anticipating a baby and its first
year of life. If they lose enthusiasm at
some point, it normally doesn’t sink to
the level of being unhappy. Throughout the years, there have been many
such studies, and the popularity of
parenting has waxed and waned. Survey your own feelings when the time
comes.

ODOT District 10 nets first ‘Golden Hard Hat’ award
MARIETTA — The Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT) District 10 was recently named the recipient of
the first “Golden Hard Hat” award within the agency.
This prestigious award is given out to recognize and
honor outstanding safety accomplishments by a district
throughout the year.
“Safety is something we take very seriously in the district,” District 10 Deputy Director T. Steve Williams said,
“Our employees go above and beyond when it comes to
safety.”
The employees of District 10 continuously receive safety
training during the year and recognize the importance of
applying what they’ve learned to their job as well as other
aspects of their lives.
“The safer we perform our jobs, the better the conditions
for the traveling public,” Williams said.
The award was given at ODOT’s annual statewide maintenance conference.

opportunity for donors
Thanks to the generosity of two foundations, Southeastern Ohio Food Bank, a division of Hocking Athens Perry
Community Action, will receive $10,000 in donations.
Hussman Foundation, through a partnership with Feeding America, and the Southeastern Ohio Hunger Fund will
each donate $5,000 to the food bank as part of a matching
program to help generate additional donations to the food
bank by Aug. 15.
The Southeastern Ohio Hunger Fund generously
matched the $5,000 challenge grant from The Hussman
Foundation.
Southeastern Ohio Hunger Fund founders Jeff and Helen Davidson and co-adviser Rev. David Maze hope to spur
additional donations up to and beyond the $10,000 total
challenge amount by Aug. 15. Donations may be made online at www.hapcap.org or by mail to Hocking Athens Perry Community Action, P.O. Box 220, Glouster, OH 45732.
Please make checks payable to HAPCAP.
“I like to thank both the Hussman Foundation and
Southeastern Ohio Hunger Fund for their generosity,”
said Tracy Galway, HAPCAP Food and Nutrition division director. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to have up
to $10,000 in match money from any donations received
through Aug. 15.”
The Hussman Foundation’s intent is to leverage its
support to enhance fundraising efforts in smaller food
banks, while making an impact in high-need service areas.
Southeastern Ohio Food Bank has been named as one of
10 Feeding America network members selected to receive
this funding, based on a combination of food insecurity
rate, operating budget and fundraising revenue data.
The mission of the Hussman Foundation is to provide
life-changing assistance through medical research, education and direct aid to vulnerable individuals having urgent
needs or significant disabilities.
The Davidsons, longtime Dublin, Ohio, residents, are
both CPAs who worked in tax and financial management
positions for years. They believe that nothing one accomplishes in the business world is as important as giving
back to people who haven’t had the same opportunities in
life that they had.
In October 2007, Jeff Davidson made a trip to Logan
and was moved and humbled by all that he experienced
and knew that he could never accept the fact that people
in Ohio are struggling to put food on their tables.
Because of those experiences, the Southeastern Ohio
Hunger Fund was created. It is administered through the
Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, P.O. Box 456, 35 Public
Square, Nelsonville, OH 45764.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The
deadly shooting spree in Colorado
consumed the presidential campaign
Friday, sidetracking a bitter political
contest with a tragedy that at least
temporarily brought the candidates
together in common purpose.
“There are going to be other days
for politics,” a somber President
Barack Obama said.
The president and likely Republican challenger Mitt Romney rushed
not only to respond to the killings but
to distance themselves from a campaign that has become increasingly
petty and bitter. Obama limited his
campaign appearance in Fort Myers
to remarks of less than eight minutes,
devoted exclusively to the tragedy.
“It reminds us of all the ways that
we are united as one American family,” he said. He paused at one point to
ask for a moment of prayer that lasted
20 seconds. A baby’s cries pierced the
silence.
Romney embraced the same sentiment of unity in Bow, N.H., where he
had been scheduled to campaign.
“We’ll all spend a little less time
thinking about the worries of our
day and more time wondering about
how to help those who are in need of
compassion most,” he said in brief
remarks to a subdued audience. “The
answer is that we can come together.
We will show our fellow citizens the
good heart of the America we know
and love.
Obama canceled a second appearance scheduled near Orlando, Fla.,
and was returning to Washington.
Romney, too, canceled some media
interviews. Both candidates moved
to pull all their political ads airing in
Colorado, and they cancelled appearances by their surrogates on the Sunday morning television talk shows.
Obama was notified at dawn at his
hotel near West Palm Beach, Fla., by
his counterterrorism adviser, John
Brennan. The White House said there
was no apparent connection to terrorism.
Obama, Vice President Joe Biden
and top White House aides were to
receive a briefing on the investigation
from Brennan and FBI Director Robert Mueller in the Oval Office Friday
afternoon, upon Obama’s return from
Florida.
“Our time here is limited, and it is
precious,” Obama told supporters in
Fort Myers. “What matters at the end
of the day is not the small things. It’s
not the trivial things which consume
us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it’s
how we choose to treat one another,
and how we love one another. It’s
what we do on a daily basis to give
our lives meaning and to give our lives
purpose.”
Romney said he joined the president and first lady in extending condolences “for those whose lives were
shattered in a few moments, a few moments of evil in Colorado.”
“I stand before you today not as a
man running for office, but as a father and a grandfather, a husband, an
American,” he added. “This is a time
for each of us to look into our hearts
and remember how much we love one
another and how much we love, and
how much we care for our great country. There’s so much love and goodness in the heart of America.”
For Romney, the tragedy was a moment to express himself as a national
consoler, a sad and grim task every
president in recent decades has had
to play.
“Today we feel not only a sense
of grief but perhaps also of helplessness,” he said. “But there is something
we can do. We can offer comfort to
someone near us who is suffering or
heavy laden. And we can mourn with
those who mourn in Colorado.”
The assault apparently by one
shooter killed 12 people and injured at
least 50 others in one of the deadliest
mass shootings in recent U.S. history.
The enormity and horror of the
incident immediately injected a new
tone to the campaign, essentially demanding that both candidates for the
time halt politics and attend to the nation’s shock at the tragedy.
Obama sought to temper the campaign spirit of those at his event to
fit the mood of the day. He thanked
his supporters and said he had looked
forward to talking about the differences between Romney and him, saying instead: “This, I think, is a day for
prayer and reflection.”
Nevertheless, as the end of his remarks about a nation that supports
its own and appreciates its blessings,
Obama’s supporters added a political
touch by chanting “Four more years!”
It remained to be seen whether the
episode would inject the volatile issue of gun rights — an issue largely
missing throughout the months of
campaigning so far — into the elec-
tion debate.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in a radio interview, admonished
both the president and his challenger
to forcefully address gun violence.
“You know, soothing words are
nice, but maybe it’s time that the two
people who want to be president of
the United States stand up and tell
us what they are going to do about it,
because this is obviously a problem
across the country,” he said.
Obama said he viewed the moment
through the eyes of a parent. He and
his wife have daughters who turned
14 and 11 this year.
“What if Malia and Sasha had been
in the theater?” he asked. “Michelle
and I will be fortunate enough to hug
our girls a little tighter tonight, and
I’m sure you will do the same with
your children. But for those parents
who may not be so lucky, we have to
embrace them and let them know we
will be there for them as a nation.”
The shooting brought a halt to political events around the country.
Many were canceled or postponed
Friday, from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s news conference on Capitol Hill to a Democratic
event in Reno, Nev., on funding for
an alert system for missing children.
Biden canceled a fundraiser in Texas,
and first lady Michelle Obama did the
same for planned campaign events in
Virginia. Romney’s wife, Ann, called
off her scheduled event in Michigan.
The tragedy inspired unifying
statements, rather than partisan pronouncements, from the nation’s leaders.
“I join President Obama, and every
American, in sending my thoughts
and prayers to the victims of this awful tragedy,” said House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio. “We will all stand
with them, as one nation, in the days
ahead.”
“The thoughts and prayers of all
members of Congress are with Coloradans this morning,” said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
In Fort Myers, there was none of
the customary music to usher the
president out. People seemed sad as
they left.
Said Diane Buckley of Fort Myers:
“I liked that someone in a position of
leadership can be as emotional as that
and take a moment to value the people
we love and to reach out to others.”
Unemployment rates rose in 27 US states in June
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Unemployment rates rose in
27 U.S. states last month, the
most in almost a year and a
reflection of weaker hiring
nationwide.
The Labor Department
DO NOT SELL TO ANYONE
UNTIL YOU GET OUR
ABSOLUTE HIGHEST OFFER!
GOLD • SILVER • COINS
said Friday that unemployment rates fell in 11 states
and Washington, D.C. — the
fewest since August. Rates
were unchanged in 12 states.
Nationwide,
employers
added only 80,000 jobs last
month, the third straight
month of weak job growth.
The national unemployment
rate stayed at 8.2 percent.
Still, 29 states added jobs
in June, up from 27 in May.
Unemployment rates can rise
even if more jobs are created
if more of those out of work
start looking for jobs. The
number of Americans searching for jobs nationwide increased last month.
Nevada recorded the high-
est unemployment rate, at
11.6 percent, the same as
the previous month. It was
followed by Rhode Island at
10.9 percent and California
at 10.7 percent
North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate at 2.9
percent. It followed by Nebraska at 3.8 percent.
Several states reported big
increases in unemployment.
Rates rose 0.4 percentage
points in Alabama and New
Jersey, to 7.8 percent and 9.6
percent, respectively.
Some states kept hiring
at a healthy pace in June.
California added 38,300 jobs
and Ohio added 18,400, after
similar gains in both states in
May. And North Carolina rebounded after losing jobs in
May, adding 16,900 jobs last
month.
Still others lost jobs. Wisconsin shed 13,200 positions, the most of any state. It
was followed by Tennessee,
where employers cut 12,100
jobs.
The economy is struggling
to generate enough growth
to boost hiring and consumer
spending from subpar levels.
Job growth slowed to
75,000 a month from April
through June, down from
healthy 226,000 pace in the
first three months of the year.
Unemployment is stuck at
8.2 percent.

Ocheltree leads Riverside
seniors after two weeks
Staff Report
mdrsports@mydailyregister.com
MASON, W.Va. — Jack Ocheltree of
Point Pleasant has a two-point overall
lead in the standings after two weeks of
play in the second half of the 2012 Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League.
Ocheltree — with 44 total points —
is currently two points ahead of Russ
Holland (42), while both Skipper Johnson and Earl Johnson are tied for third
place just four points back with matching totals of 40.
A total of 92 players were on hand for
Tuesday’s event at Riverside Golf Club,
making a total of 23 points available
with 23 four-man squads on the course.
The low score of the day went to the
foursome of Ocheltree, Jim Gress, Paul
Somerville and Roger Putney — who
combined to shoot a 10-under par round
of 60 on the day.
There was a three-way tie for second
place, as a trio of quartets fired matching rounds of 9-under par 61. The three
runner-up pairings consisted of Carl
Stone, Phil Hill, Roger Manuel and Russ
Holland, Steve Safford, Skiiper Johnson,
Dave Shinn and Aaron Groves, and Don
Corbin, Bob Stewart, Earl Johnson and
Claude Proffitt.
The closest to the pin winners were
John Williams on the ninth hole and Jim
Gress on No. 14.
The top-10 standings through two
weeks are: Jack Ocheltree (44), Russ
Holland (42), Skipper Johnson and Earl
Johnson (40), Jim Blake (39.5), Claude
Proffitt (39), Paul Somerville and Roger
Putney (38), and John Williams, Jack

CHARLESTON,
W.Va.
(AP) — Forget the ugly
reminders about their clay
court pasts. Pete Sampras
and John McEnroe are looking forward to swapping
stories and some hard volleys at an exhibition match
in West Virginia.
The Hall of Famers
will meet in the inaugural
Greenbrier Champions Tennis Classic on Sept. 22.
“To play next to John, to
hang out with John is always fun for me,” Sampras
said. “We get to talk about
the game or what’s going on
with our lives.”
The pair last met at a
Champion Series event last
October in Las Vegas when
Sampras won 6-4.
Starting in 1993, Sampras spent more than seven
years ranked No. 1 on the
ATP World Tour and won
14 Grand Slam singles titles, a record until broken
by Roger Federer.
McEnroe captured four
U.S. Open singles titles and
three at Wimbledon.
Yet neither are among the
all-time greats in tournaments played on clay. Neither won singles titles at
the French Open, although
McEnroe won the Over 45
Legends doubles title with
brother Patrick there in
June.
“You’re covering half the
court, so that makes it a

Olympic buzz takes off
London welcomes the flame
LONDON (AP) — With the flame comes the games.
After years of preparation and months of buildup, London’s Olympic moment finally arrived Friday night.
Royal Marine Martyn Williams carried the Olympic
torch as he rappelled down from a Royal Navy Sea King
helicopter into the Tower of London on the shore of the
River Thames. The commando’s grand entrance plunged
the symbol of the games into the city’s historic heart, bringing Olympic pageantry to the British capital that last held
the event in 1948.
Crowds lined the city’s famed river banks to see the torch
arrive, while Yeoman warders — the ceremonial Tower
guards popularly known as Beefeaters — looked on from
inside the landmark’s grounds.
For Londoners, the arrival of the torch ignites a time of
excitement — as well as four weeks of extreme crowds and
transport strains.
Organizers have tried to smooth the way. London Underground subway lines are festooned with large magenta and
pink signs pointing routes to the Olympic venues. Cartoony
ads with wide-eyed horses and beefy musclemen warn commuters to remember that Olympic competitions are taking
place and to rethink their daily journeys. Barriers are being erected to mark the special traffic lanes for Olympic
vehicles — disparagingly dubbed “Zil lanes,” after the limousines granted exclusive use of special lanes on Soviet-era
highways.
Londoners who already struggle to get to work on any
given weekday aren’t convinced all will be well — and
haven’t been shy about saying so. The atmosphere of gloom
has been segmented by the never-ending rain and a constant stream of headlines about the failure of security contractor G4S to provide enough guards.
The mayor has a message for the naysayers: “Put a sock
in it.”
Speaking at a ceremony at the Tower of London, Boris
Johnson said the arrival of the torch would “dispel any last
remaining clouds of dampness and anxiety.”
“It will spread the crackling bushfire of Olympic enthusiasm throughout this city and the country,” he said, as Kelly
Holmes, a British double gold medal winner in 2004, toured
the ramparts of the landmark, with the torch held aloft.
Ready or not, the games are a reality. Olympic banners
in hot pink, acid yellow and lime green have painted Lon-

Meigs unveils new stadium to public
Bryan Walters

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — If you build it, they will come.
After seven years of planning and painstaking work, a
field of dreams became reality Friday night during an open
house unveiling of the Farmers Bank Stadium Holzer Field
complex on the campus of Meigs High School.
After spending its first 44 football seasons calling Bob
Roberts Field home, both the Marauders and their supporters officially took their first glimpses of their new
home during a two-hour walk-around at the new facility.
Several hundred people from the Meigs school district
showed up to take in the unveiling, despite heavy rainfall
during the opening minutes of the open house. What those
guests witnessed was something that they had ultimately
never seen before at MHS.
And that was something that simply added to the special
night, according to Meigs athletic director Ron Hill.
“This is very exciting for our community. It’s really nice
to have some new facilities that will allow us to hold some
home track meets and also host football games in our own
backyard, not to mention all the extra things that we have
added and can add later,” Hill said. “This is definitely a
great time to be a Marauder, and it’s been a long time coming. It’s a dream come true and it’s the gem that this community has been looking for for quite some time.”
The new stadium is located behind Meigs High School,
standing just next to the current baseball facility where

See BUZZ | B3 Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, Friday, April 20.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Homer Bailey knew his history against the Milwaukee Brewers was a case of bad
and worse. For the first time, he came
away a winner.
Bailey matched his career high with
10 strikeouts while pitching eight innings for his first career win over Milwaukee on Friday night, leading Cincinnati to a 3-1 victory that preserved
the Reds’ lead in the NL Central.
Zack Cozart, Jay Bruce and Scott
Rolen hit solo homers as the Reds won
nine of their last 11 games, moving 13
games over .500 for the first time this
season. But it was Bailey who got the
attention.
“He works at it,” manager Dusty
Baker said. “He wants to be great.”
Bailey (9-6) has beaten the defending World Series champion Cardinals
and the defending division champion
Brewers in his last two starts. He’s
won four straight starts for the first
time in his career.
“I’ve kind of established a little bit
of a routine,” Bailey said. “I’m getting
better at knowing what I need to do
to prepare every day and now it’s just

School in Rocksprings, Ohio. The men’s facility has four stalls, the old football practice field
and track used to sit.
six urinals, four sinks and a heating unit.
The old track was made
of asphalt and had only six
lanes, which made it unable
to hold anything other than
quad meets according to
OHSAA regulations. The
old football practice facility
also had field goal posts that
were either torn down or
missing critical pieces, such
as uprights.
All of those things were
ripped away during the rebuilding process, as well as
60328520
the small bleachers that sat
on the side of the hill so that
parents and fans could have
somewhere to sit during
practices.
In place of those outdated
pieces, the new Farmers
Bank Stadium Holzer Field
complex consists of a rubberized eight-lane track that
meets OHSAA regulations,
a state-of-the-art football
surface made of grass and
the installment of new home
and visiting bleachers on
both sides of the facility.
The Marauders’ new
home also boasts a new
field house that will have
several updated amenities,
including a modern concession stand and more than 20
working toilets — at least 10
apiece for each gender.
The facility also has a new
press box that is equipped
with dual coaching boxes on
each side, as well as access
to the roof for additional
coaching needs and filming.
A new scoreboard will be in
place by the start of the season, and the entrance to the
complex is lined with personalized bricks that were
sold to help fund the facility.
At first glance, it’s not
hard to see the obvious improvements that will benefit many Meigs athletes
for years to come. There is,
however, more to this facility than just what meets the
eye.
“This is a win for everyone in our community, not
just the football team,” Hill
said. “We now have a cross
country course toward the
back of the facility, and we
already have a bid in to host
one of the four TVC track
meets this spring. If that
happens, we’ll have 15 TVC
teams coming to our community to compete for the
first time that I can ever remember.
“All of those guests will be
coming to our communities,
our businesses, our concession stands. Bringing all of
those people to our area will
only benefit our area. That
means nothing but good
things for the area, all the
way around.”
Another boost to the
facility is the previouslystanding locker rooms that
are located in the original
field house, on the outside
of the school’s weight room.
By utilizing that relativelyclose complex, Meigs was
able to avoid any extra costs
for those otherwise needed
spaces on Friday nights.
Hill noted that having
all of these new additions
to watch over will probably make his AD job a little
tougher this season, but he
also said that he was more
than ready to take on that
challenge.
“We may have to make
some of it up as we go this
year, but what a great problem to have,” Hill said.
“Some TVC teams like
Nelsonville-York and Athens, who have gone through
opening new facilities in recent years, have been very
helpful in what to expect.
We are hoping for a smooth,
positive transition into the
new building and those fellow TVC programs have
been very cooperative in
helping us try to make that
a reality.”

day, the new stadium would
not be ready for kickoff.
The scoreboard and visiting
bleachers have yet to be installed, some barrier fencing
needs to be completed, and
both the concession stand
and restrooms still have a
few minor things that need
to be completed.
But, with a little under
five weeks left before the
opening week of the 2012
season, Farmers Bank Stadium Holzer Field is literally
getting closer to completion
every day.
According to Hill, that has
also added to the fun and
excitement of what this facility is — both to Meigs High
School and the communities
involved.
“All summer long, I’ve
been looking for excuses to
come up and see what the
latest thing to be installed
at the stadium is,” Hill said.
“We’re not completely done
yet, but seeing it get closer
to completion every day still
gets me excited. And honestly, I think every citizen
in the Meigs school district
has been the same way this
summer.
“It has really been a uniting force for our community
and we’re very excited about
getting this thing opened
this fall.”
Perhaps the biggest driving force to this stadium
project, new MHS football
coach Mike Bartrum, says
seeing a vision become reality is better than he could
have ever imagined. For a
former Pro-Bowler that has
played in a Super Bowl,
that’s quite a statement.
“This whole thing has
been a dream … not just for
me, but for a lot of like-minded individuals in this area
that wanted to have something better for our kids,”
Bartrum said. “Now here we
are, standing in this facility
— taking it all in for the first
time. I’m still speechless in
seeing it become a reality,
but I would say that this is
as good a feeling as any that
I have ever had on a football
field.
“I know that the kids and
the coaching staff are excited
about this place and the upcoming season, and a lot of
people seem to be the same
after being here tonight. All
I can really say is that we are
blessed with great people in
this community and that we
are really looking forward to
our future at our new home.”
The Marauders officially

don in neon. The tubby Cyclops-like mascots, Wenlock
and Mandeville, are dancing around central London
tourist attractions in a desperate bid to be huggable.
The city’s famous red double-decker buses are sporting ads flogging the last of
the unsold Olympic soccer
tickets.
The stadiums themselves
are nearly ready. At the athletes village, Cuba and Denmark have been the first to
drape flags off their balconies. The Olympic clock
ticking down the days in Trafalgar Square has reached
single digits.
Olympic historian David Goldblatt, co-author of
“How to Watch the Olympics,” said the flame’s arrival in London marks a key
turning point.
“I think it signifies the
moment when everyone,
whether for, against or indifferent, is thinking ‘Oh
Lord let’s just get the bloody
thing started,’ ” he said.
It was only weeks ago
that celebrations marking
Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee sent Britons
into a spasm of patriotic
flag waving and “God save
the Queen” singing as they
watched a flotilla of 1,000
boats on the River Thames.
Will the flame’s arrival inspire the famously inhibited
British to do it all again —
to cheer and wave and weep
and be inspired — as the
torch relay winds through
the city’s 33 boroughs?
Could be — if the first 62
days of the torch’s travels
are any indication.
The 8,000-mile (12,900
kilometer) torch relay has
already been a cultural happening across the length
of Britain, drawing crowds
out to meet it wherever
it goes. Spectators in rain
ponchos have flash-mobbed
to its side, hoping for that
once-in-a-lifetime chance to
touch a bit of history. Some
have even stood by the side
of the road to see the trucks
that carry the torch between cities, as it fulfills a
promise to travel within 10
miles (16 kilometers) of 95
percent of Britain’s population.
“Both the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics are
like carnivals or tribal festivals,” Kate Fox, the author
of “Watching the English,”
wrote in a British Airways
survey on the games. “We
behave in ways we wouldn’t
normally behave — dancing in the streets and waving flags and shouting and
cheering and indulging in
other wildly disinhibited
acts, such as maybe even
talking to strangers.”
Britons were even more
committed to the flame
before the last London
Olympics in 1948, when
the torch was actually run
in a relay from the site of
ancient Olympia in Greece.
Janie Hampton, author of
“London Olympics: 1908
and 1948,” said runners
traveled continuously day
and night. Crowds emerged
to see the 1948 flame even
in the middle of the night.
In Britain it was such a
draw that police outriders
had to push people back as
the flame neared the stadium to light the cauldron,
Hampton said.
“There is one event in the
Games which has captured
the imagination — the carrying of the lighted torch
from distant Olympia to the
Stadium at Wembley,” The
Times newspaper wrote on
July 28, 1948. “The torch
itself, quite apart from its
symbolism, is something
which, like a lance or a banner, a coat of mail or a jerkin of Lincoln green we can
love purely for its own sake.
It has a somber glory.”
This time the flame has
been to every corner of the
United Kingdom ahead of
its showcase moment at the
Olympics’ July 27 opening
ceremony. Friday was Day
63 of its 70-day journey,

leading to success.”
The latest win was perhaps the best measure of how far he’s come. The right-hander
had been 0-5 in 10 career games against
Milwaukee.
“Everybody knows when you’re a starting
pitcher, you always have teams you don’t do
well against,” Bailey said. “I knew I never
really did well against that team. You just
try to put it behind you and make some
pitches.”
Cozart, Bruce and Rolen homered off
Marco Estrada (0-4), who gave up seven
hits overall in seven innings. Bruce and Rolen connected on 2-0 pitches one out apart
to provide the winning margin.
Left-hander Aroldis Chapman struck
out two in the ninth for his 16th save in 20
chances, hitting 100 mph with two of his 13
pitches. Twenty-five of his last 31 outs have
come by strikeout.
Milwaukee came out of the All-Star break
looking to make up ground in a stretch of
games against Pittsburgh, St. Louis and
Cincinnati. The Brewers have won four of
seven and remain stranded in fourth place,
now 8 games back, matching their biggest
deficit.
Afterward, Estrada angrily tossed a towel
into his locker and stared ahead for a few
seconds with his head down, unhappy with
those two homers he gave up in the seventh
inning.
“We need these games, especially against
this team,” Estrada said. “They’re in first
place and we’re trying to catch up. When
you go out and make dumb mistakes in the
seventh inning, it kills you inside. Every
pitch counts now. I threw really bad pitches
at 2-0. It’s really frustrating.”
They couldn’t do much against Bailey,
who gave up six hits and matched his career high by fanning 10. Norichika Aoki’s
RBI double broke his shutout in the eighth.
Cozart’s homer barely cleared the wall in
left field with one out in the fourth. His first
homer since July 6 made it 73 consecutive
games with a homer at Great American Ball
Park, the longest streak since Coors Field
had 80 games in a row with a homer in
2002-03, according to STATS LLC.
Bruce hit his first homer since July 8 leading off the seventh inning. In his previous
at-bat, Bruce doubled to snap an 0-for-19
skid that matched the longest of his career.
One out later, Rolen hit his first homer
since June 22. The three homers were a season high off Estrada, who had allowed only
11 homers all season.
It was another solid but empty outing by
Estrada, who has made four appearances
since returning from the disabled list with a
strained right thigh. He has given up three
runs or less in each of those starts without
getting a win.
The Reds have struggled offensively since
Monday, when first baseman Joey Votto
learned he needed surgery to repair torn
cartilage in his left knee. He had surgery on
Tuesday and is expected to miss three to
four weeks. He was in the clubhouse on Friday to get treatment, moving around with
the help of one crutch.
The solo homers pulled them through.
Ryan Braun was back in the Brewers lineup after sitting out a game because of a sore
groin. He singled in his first two at-bats,
making him the 11th player in franchise
history with 1,000 career hits.

with Coach Jeff Caldwell
which has included travel
on boats, planes, horses and
hot air balloons. It’s been
carried by Olympians and
Paralympians. The queen’s
granddaughter,
Olympic
equestrian competitor Zara
Phillips, has shared the
honor with 84-year-old Moira Starkey, who walks with
two canes and was honored
for completing a marathon
last year by walking around
her town hall 1,876 times to
raise money for charity.
If the Beijing relay set up
the 2008 Summer Games as
China’s coming-out party
on an international stage,
London’s relay has set up
Britain as the community
Olympics — not flashy or
dashy, not big or spectacular, but warm and well attended.
Organizers had always assumed the world would be
excited about the games but
were not sure what people
in Britain would think —
particularly given that taxpayers will be paying 9.3
billion pounds ($14.7 billion) to host the event at a
time of economic austerity.
There’s also the fact that
so much activity is focused
on Olympic Park in London. There had to be some
sense that other parts of the
country were involved —
that the Olympics also belonged to Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland.
But the numbers —
some 9 million people have
viewed the torch so far —
speak for themselves. Britain has also poured more
money into crowd-control
plans for London during the
Olympics after acknowledging that it underestimated
the crowds that would turn
out to see the flame.
Whether they are coming just because it is a local happening, or because
people are moved by the
fairy dust of the games, it’s
hard to say. A torch leg features sponsor buses blaring
music, streamers and tambourines, cameras and media, cheerleaders shout “Go
torchbearer!”
It’s not really clear how
the capital will respond to
the hoopla. This is a place
where major events happen
with some frequency.
But one thing is for sure.
Flame(equals)Olympics.

Despite the heat, summertime memories are the best
Jim Freeman
In The Open
One of our favorite adult
pastimes it seems is complaining about the weather;
it’s always too hot, too cold,
too dry or too wet.
Have you ever noticed
though, no matter what the
weather is like right now,
it was always worse when
we were kids - it was colder
then, and definitely hotter
too, and those five-mile
walks to school really were
uphill both ways.
Of course it is summer
now, the time of year I call
high summer to be exact, so
when it comes to weather
the thought on everyone’s
mind is “(Insert expletive
here), it’s hot!”
Funny thing, I don’t remember ever complaining
about the heat when I was
a kid. I mean, I’m sure I did
complain about it, but looking back I can’t recall ever
being too hot. After all, did
it ever seem too hot to play
outside?
I recently asked some of
my friends on a popular
social networking site that
starts with “F” and ends
with “acebook” to share
some of their “favorite summertime rituals and memories for cooling out, cooking
out, chillaxing or camping”
and I received a variety of
responses.
Play after work was a
popular theme, with things
like stopping by a rope
swing after work for a quick
splash in the Ohio River.
One of my high school
classmates recalled getting
up at 4 a.m. to ride his bicycle, with fishing pole and
tackle attached, from Portland to Racine to work in
the tomato fields and then
stopping to fish on the way
home. I doubt many youngsters do that anymore. Or
how about going up to the
old Southern Junior High
School at night after a rain
to collect nightcrawlers
with your old man?
When there wasn’t the
river, there was always the
woods (shaded and cool),
doing things like going for a
hike after a rain, or looking
for yellow root or ginseng.
The nighttime was a good
time for keeping cool, doing
things like sleeping outside
(before having air conditioning), and who doesn’t
remember poking holes in
the lid of a big canning jar
to make firefly lanterns.
One of my daughter’s biggest recollections of camping and being outdoors was
trying to sleep with a stormpanicked 100-pound Labrador crawling on top of her.
That was because (and I
didn’t realize it at the time)
but I was actually a God of
Thunder, and whenever I
was outdoors for any length
of time the thunderclouds
would try to shower me
with devotion in the form of
lightning bolts and deluges.
It was just my family’s misfortune to be outdoors with
me at the time.
Perhaps the most novel
method of keeping cool was
this… “When I was little my
job was to sit on top of the
ice cream maker while dad
cranked. That cools your
butt down real quick.”
Some of my running
friends have their own
warm-weather rituals, like
getting up extra early and
logging a few miles before
it gets too hot. Those are
more in line with my interests these days, a cool run
or bicycle ride, or firing up
the motorcycle for a little
trip or free music along the
river.
No matter what you
choose to do, there is no
doubt that summer time is
the time for being outdoors,
and most of those activities involve water, shade or
food, or some combination
thereof - camping, s’mores,
the beach or the islands.
Memories of youth are the
best, especially getting to
do things that you just can’t
do anymore - like riding for
hours in the back of a pickup truck, “corning” or other
such activities. I did them; I
know you did too.
Of all those grand summertime memories, I noticed none of them involve
being indoors, sitting in
front of the television set.
Great memories are not
made of such things.
Sadly, for the youngsters,
summer is practically over.
Stores are holding their
back-to-school sales, sports
and band practice are underway, fairs are about to
begin and then it will be
time to head back into the
classroom. However, there
is still time, still time to
feel that thick rope, tight
in your grip, the whoosh of
the air as you arc out over
the river, and the sudden
drop and plunge into the
cool water, and the gasp for
air as you surface.
So get out there and make
some memories while there
is still some time.

Big Ten: Commish won’t get power to fire coaches
PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP) — The
Big Ten Conference has no plans to
give its commissioner the power to
fire coaches.
In a statement released Friday,
the conference says “giving emergency powers to the commissioner
to fire personnel is not under consideration” by its 12 presidents and
chancellors.
The Chronicle of Higher Education reported this week that the
conference was considering giving
the commissioner power to punish
schools with financial sanctions,
suspensions and even the ability
to fire coaches in the wake of the
Penn State scandal. The Chronicle
posted an 18-page plan — titled
“Standards and Procedures for
Safeguarding Institutional Control
of Intercollegiate Athletics” — suggesting that in certain circumstances the commissioner would have
unilateral authority to “take any
and all actions” in the best interest
of the Big Ten.
The conference said that was “an
early draft put together by the Big
Ten staff in order to surface all of
the options available.”
After the report surfaced, Michigan’s athletic director, Dave Brandon, said the emergency power
proposal had come out of “left
field” and the president at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota, Eric Kaler,
said he doubted that individual
schools would be willing to give up
control over personnel.
Former Penn State assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky was
recently convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys, sometimes on campus.
A report commissioned by Penn
State said school leaders, including
coach Joe Paterno, ignored allegations more than a decade ago, al-
lowing Sandusky to prey on other
boys for years. Paterno’s family
said he never participated in an attempt to cover up wrongdoing.
The NCAA and U.S. Education
Department are investigating Penn
State for potential rules and policy
violations; the issue of “institutional control” is believed to be a
key part of the NCAA probe, since
problems there can lead to athletic
penalties.

At left, The Field of Hope Community Campus is based at the site of the former North Gallia High School (NGHS) located approximately three miles outside of the Village of Vinton on Ohio 160. At
right, As a nostalgic site in the community, remnants of the former NGHS are littered across what is now a true “field of hope.”
Faith, food
and future
FOHCC determined

Amber Gillenwater
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com
VINTON — With a vision of a better community, volunteers with the Field of Hope Community Campus (FOHCC)
are dedicated to the future complete restoration of the former North Gallia High School and surrounding grounds —
the site of the complete community outreach project.
Volunteers with the FOHCC have brought life back to the
building that has weathered in the just over 20 years since
its closure; and, during a recent tour of the campus, the
volunteers’ vision and dedication to it was palpable.
According to FOHCC Project Director Kevin Dennis, the Much of the former NGHS is in dire need of a new roof, including the former shop class. According to Kevin Dennis, project director,
effort is centered around three main goals: the establish- the replacement of the roof is high on the list of things to do if further grant funding becomes available.
ment of a large food pantry, a youth center and a rehabilitation center.
“There’s three main thrusts. One is an expanded food
pantry. We have the food pantry now at Vinton Baptist, and
we are out of space. The second is a youth center. The gym
will be the centerpiece for that. And, then, the third goal —
that is going to take the longest to develop — is going to be
the residential rehabilitation center for people caught up in
substance abuse,” Dennis recently commented.
Many of the volunteers with FOHCC are members of
Vinton Baptist Church, which supports the project and is
located across from the Field of Hope site on Ohio 160, and
Dennis reported that the beginnings of these three main
“thrusts” for the project can already be found at the church
in the form of the large food pantry, a huge youth ministry
and a rehabilitation program.
However, Dennis stated that input from community members, who are not necessarily church members, is more than
encouraged within the project.
“Many people that help with the food pantry, that are part
of the youth ministry and that are a part of Gallia Strong
Tower — which is our rehab program we have right now
— are not members of Vinton Baptist Church, and that’s
fine. We want this to be a community effort,” Dennis commented and further stated that, as the project expands, the
hope is to form a committee of both church and non-church
members, who will oversee the development of the outreach center.
“We want the outreach to be something that meets people’s needs where they are,” he stated. “We don’t have this
narrow plan of action. We have a plan of action to see what
the needs are and address those in the best way we can.”
In the few years since their acquirement of the 47-acre
North Gallia site, FOHCC members have worked to secure

Surviving the drought,
wind and rain
Has your backyard garden survived the drought, wind and rain
of the past few weeks?
If not, consider replanting seeds
of short cycled crops like bush
green beans, summer squash and
cucumbers. Turnip seed planted
now will provide greens and turnips throughout the fall. Look at
sowing seeds of broccoli and cabbage for mid to late August transplants in the garden. You can direct seed into your garden or patio
containers.
Try sowing lettuce, radishes,
spinach, kale, beets, Swiss chard
or peas starting in early August
and then again every couple of
weeks into early September. A
fall backyard garden can help you
with saving grocery monies, pro-
vide nutritious fresh vegetables
and provide a basis for healthier
eating habits. If you need seedlook in your leftover spring seed
packets, check your local garden
centers and hardware stores for
seed, or ask neighbor gardener
who may have extra seed.
If you decide not to replant your
garden consider planting a cover
crop of buckwheat or turnips now.
If some garden items are still viable but will be harvested in September, consider sowing barley,
wheat or rye in the early fall to
trap available nutrients and inhibit the growth of fall and winter
weeds.

Social Security Column
12 killed, 59 wounded in Colo. theater shooting
Social security goes country
AURORA, Colo. (AP) — A
gunman wearing a gas mask and
black SWAT gear hurled a gas canister inside a crowded movie theater during a midnight showing of
the new Batman movie Friday and
then opened fire, killing 12 people
and wounding nearly 60 others
in an attack so bizarre that some
moviegoers at first thought they
were watching Hollywood special
effects.
As smoke from the canister
spread, audience members watching “The Dark Knight Rises” at
the suburban Denver theater saw
the silhouette of a person materialize near the screen, point a gun
at the crowd and begin shooting,
apparently without a word.
New York City’s police commissioner said he was told the gunman had painted his hair red and
called himself the Joker — Batman’s nemesis — but Aurora police would not confirm that.
It was one of the deadliest mass
shootings in recent U.S. history.
The suspected gunman, identified as James Holmes, a 24-yearold doctoral student in neuroscience who was about to drop out
of the University of Colorado-Denver, was arrested near a car behind
the theater.
Authorities gave no motive for
the attack. The FBI said there was
no indication of ties to any terrorist groups.
“There were bullet (casings)
just falling on my head. They were
burning my forehead,” Jennifer
Seeger said, adding that the gunman, dressed like a SWAT team
member, fired steadily, stopping
only to reload. “Every few seconds
it was just: Boom, boom, boom,”
she said. “He would reload and
shoot and anyone who would try
to leave would just get killed.”
Police said 71 people in all were
shot. Among the wounded were
three members of the U.S. Armed
Forces.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates
said the gunman wore a gas mask,
a ballistic helmet and vest, and
leg, groin and throat protectors.
He said he had an AR-15 militarystyle, semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and two pistols.

Social Security District Manager in Gallipolis
Note: It may seem crazy, but there are 20 country song titles or
lyrics in this column (including the one in this sentence). Can you
circle all of them?
You probably think of July 4 as Independence Day. Did you know
that it is also National Country Music Day?
A new holiday? Not by any means. In fact, you might even say it’s
been around forever and ever Amen. It was in the 1950s that the
Country Music Deejay Association decided to start the holiday. It’s
been celebrated every year since.
Social Security’s been around nearly as long as country music
— since the 1930s. Social Security was signed into law during the
same depression era that found Gene Autry singing “Take Me Back
To My Boots and Saddle.” Since its dustbowl beginnings, Social Security has helped many silver-haired daddies (and mammas who let
their babies grow up to be cowboys) get back in the saddle again.
By helping many older Americans stay out of poverty, Social Security is used to being told “I will always love you” and that “you
were always on my mind.” Not to mention, “If you’ve got the money, honey, I’ve got the time.”
These days, retirees live longer than ever. Today’s average 65-year
old can expect to live another 20 years. About 55 million Americans
will receive $760 billion in Social Security benefits this year; the
average monthly benefit for a retired worker in 2012 is $1,229.
But let’s give them something to talk about: Social Security is
more than retirement. The agency could cry, “People who say ‘Social Security Retirement’ never even called me by my name.” That’s
because Social Security also pays disability and survivors benefits,
as well as Supplemental Security Income, or SSI.
Whether you’re at the start of your career, working 9 to 5, or well
into mid-career, you should give some thought to planning your
future retirement. To help you plan, visit our Retirement Estimator
at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. It’ll help you determine how
much you need to save to harvest a comfortable retirement.
Are you at the end of a career? Ready to take this job and shove
it? There’s no reason to walk the line to your local Social Security
office, even if you are king of the road. The easiest way to apply
for retirement benefits is online, at www.socialsecurity.gov. Being
away from your friends at work may make you so lonesome you
could cry, but at least you can count on a monthly Social Security
payment. They may even begin to sing about the day of the month
“when our old-age pension check comes to our door.” Or, in most
cases, by direct deposit to your bank account.
Here’s a word of advice for Lucille and Ruby. You may have picked
a fine time to take your love to town, but if you were married for
ten years or more, and are not remarried, you may qualify for Social
Security benefits based on your ex’s work history — whether your
exes live in Texas or anywhere else.

challenge: find everything you need related to Social Security at

The suspect was not talking to
investigators, a law enforcement
official briefed on the investigation
said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in discussing
the ongoing case. The person also
said police found jars of chemicals
in Holmes’ booby-trapped apartment with wires nearby.
While some witnesses said the
gunman entered through a sidedoor emergency exit at the front of
the theater, a federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Holmes
bought a ticket and went into the
theater as part of the crowd. The
official said Holmes then apparently propped open an exit door in
the theater as the movie was playing, donned the protective ballistic gear and opened fire.
FBI agents and police used a
hook-and-ladder fire truck to reach
Holmes’ apartment in Aurora.
They put a camera at the end of a
12-foot pole inside the apartment
and discovered the unit was booby-trapped. Authorities evacuated
five buildings as they tried to figure how to disarm the flammable
and explosive material.
In New York City, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said:
“It clearly looks like a deranged
individual. He has his hair painted red. He said he was the Joker,
obviously the enemy of Batman.”
Oates would not confirm that information, but confirmed he had
spoken to Kelly. The two used to
work together in New York.
Some of the victims were treated for chemical exposure apparently related to canisters thrown
by the gunman. Those hurt included a 4-month-old baby, who was
treated at a hospital and released.
Holmes enrolled in a Ph.D. program in neuroscience a year ago
but was in the process of withdrawing at the time of the shooting, said University of ColoradoDenver spokeswoman Jacque
Montgomery said.
Police released a statement
from Holmes’ family: “Our hearts
go out to those who were involved
in this tragedy and to the families
and friends of those involved.”
The movie opened across the
world Friday with midnight showings in the U.S. The shooting
prompted officials to cancel the
red-carpet premiere in Paris, with
workers pulling down the display
at a theater on the Champs-Elysees.
Around the U.S., police and
some movie theaters stepped up
security for daytime showings of
the movie, though many fans waiting in line said they were not worried about their safety.
President Barack Obama said he
was saddened by the “horrific and
tragic shooting,” pledging that his
administration was “committed to
bringing whoever was responsible
to justice, ensuring the safety of
our people, and caring for those
who have been wounded.”
It was the worst mass shooting
in the U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009,
attack at Fort Hood, Texas. An
Army psychiatrist was charged
with killing 13 soldiers and civilians and wounding more than two
dozen others.
In Colorado, it was the deadliest
since the Columbine High School
massacre on April 20, 1999, when
two students opened fire in the
Denver suburb of Littleton, killing
12 classmates and a teacher and
wounding 26 others before killing themselves. Columbine High
is about 12 miles from the theater.
Friday’s attack began shortly
after midnight at the multiplex
theater, and audience members
said they thought it was part of
the movie, or some kind of stunt
associated with it.
The film has several scenes of
public mayhem — a hallmark of
superhero movies. In one scene,
the villain Bane leads an attack
on the stock exchange and, in another, leads a shooting and bombing rampage on a packed football
stadium.
The gunman released a gas that
smelled like pepper spray from
a green canister, Seeger said. “I
thought it was showmanship. I
didn’t think it was real,” she said.
Seeger said she was in the second row, about four feet from the
gunman, when he pointed a gun

the cleanup of the campus.
According to Dennis,
the $200,000 grant will be
utilized in asbestos removal throughout the building
and removal of minimal
petroleum contamination.
Currently, the first functional building is the former bus barn, where the
Wheels of Hope vehicle
repair shop is open for
business.
Wheels of Hope, as
a part of the non-profit
FOHCC, provides lowcost maintenance — oil
changes, brakes and other
vehicle maintenance — to
community members in
need.
The repair shop is open
five days a week and provides oil changes freeof-charge twice a year to
6
needy motorists. The shop
is supported through donations and the support of
local community members
and businesses.
According to Dennis,
all of the funding that is
garnered through Wheels
of Hope helps to provide
the materials needed in
the shop and wages for the
vehicle technician. The
remaining funding goes directly back into the larger
Field of Hope operation.
While much work still
needs to be completed
at the campus, Dennis is
hopeful that, if an additional community matching grant is received, much
progress can be made to
the facility in the next one
to two years.

Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp receives $25,000 Farm Credit gift
LOUISVILLE, KY. — Southern Ohio’s Canter’s Cave 4-H
Camp is the latest of the state’s
network of 4-H camps to receive
a major gift from Farm Credit
Mid-America. The $25,000
corporate donation received
its initial impetus from a Farm
Credit employee who experienced some of the camp’s needs
firsthand.
Heather Simpkins, a 4-H alum
and a loan officer with Farm
Credit’s Washington Court
House office, is a 4-H leader for
her children’s Cloverbud (kindergarten to second grade level) Club. While helping to lead
a work day at the camp, Simpkins recognized both a problem
and an opportunity.
“We went expecting to paint
two cabins,” she said. “But
there was so much work to be
done, we couldn’t even get one
finished. It quickly became
obvious to me that the camp
would be a good candidate for
Farm Credit’s stewardship program.”
Simpkins worked with camp
officials to complete the application and submitted it for
consideration. The request was
approved and the award was
presented at the camp on June
22. As soon as the summer
camping season is completed,
work will begin on replacing
roofs, fixing doors and other
refurbishing of five cabins on
the “Boys Hill,” which will be
re-named “Farm Credit Hill.”
4-H youth and volunteers will
provide a significant portion of
the labor for the renovation.
The camp, which is located
in northeastern Jackson County on 350 beautifully wooded

acres, annually serves more
than 2,000 4-H members from
a nine-county area. In addition,
the facility also hosts a number of specialized camps for a
diverse clientele, including the
state’s 4-H Special Needs Camp
for youth with disabilities and
their caregivers. Canter’s Cave
is also the home of the Ohio 4-H
Shooting Sports Program.
This year the camp will serve
as a Camp Corral site for sons
and daughters of military par-
ents who have been disabled or
wounded while in the service.
And it will host another camp
for youth of parents serving in
the armed forces.
Connie Goble, who is an extension educator from Pike
County and a very active member of the camp’s board, said
the camp has a passion for trying to provide opportunities for
all youth, and didn’t hesitate
to offer her belief that Canter’s
Cave is “the best 4-H camp in
“When we submitted the application, I didn’t know what
was going to happen and it’s
just so exciting to see things fall
into place,” she said. “Projects
like this afford us the opportunity to give back to the communities we serve, for both our
members and non-members. I’m
a firm believer in 4-H, and like
many Farm Credit employees,
it’s an important part of my
background.”
the state.” She said that Farm
Credit’s gift would be invaluable.
“Farm Credit’s assistance will
be monumental to this project,”
said Goble. “We do our best to
be self-sufficient, but grants like
this help us get a lot of things
fixed that we couldn’t do otherwise.”
Farm Credit’s Simpkins said
she was glad for the opportunity to be a link in helping with
the restoration project.
Donations will send Ohio cancer patient to Disney
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP)
— A 4-year-old cancer
patient who was denied a
Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World by her father
will get to go after all.
So many donations have
poured in from around the
world that the girl’s mother and grandmother will
be able to pay for the trip
in August themselves and
give the rest to charity.
“We didn’t do this to
get rich,” the girl’s grand-
mother, Lori Helppie, said
Friday. “We did it to fulfill
her dream, and people’s
hearts just opened up.”
The young girl, McKenna May of Haskins, was
set to go to Disney this
summer, but her father
refused to sign off on the
trip because he said she
was in remission and the
Make-A-Wish trips should
go to children who are
sicker than his daughter.
The family said Make-
A-Wish requires signatures from both parents
if either have visitation
rights or is listed on the
birth certificate. McKenna’s parents never married or lived together,
but her father recently
received visitation rights.
Online
donations
topped $12,000 on Friday
and more money was being collected at banks in
northwest Ohio.
McKenna’s mother and
grandmother said they
decided to collect donations at local businesses
to pay for the trip after
the father wouldn’t go
along with the plan. Once
their story spread, money
and other offers began
overwhelming them. “I’ve
been offered cars, vacation homes,” Helppie
said.
They planned to shut
down the online donations
on Friday. They’re giving
Parallels between the film and the shooting
Associated Press
In “The Dark Knight
Rises,” a masked villain
leads a murderous crew
into a packed football stadium and wages an attack
involving guns and explosives. It’s just one of the
more haunting scenes in
what was one of the most
anticipated movies of the
summer, if not the year.
There is no evidence so
far that the motives of the
assailant in the Aurora,
Colo., killings on Friday
had any specific link to
“The Dark Knight Rises.”
It’s not clear why he chose
to enter the movie theater at 12:30 a.m., not far
into the midnight screening that marked the film’s
opening day. Several survivors remarked on their
initial confusion as the attack unfolded at seeing a
masked figure silhouetted
in a gaseous haze and the
sounds of real gunshots
mingling with the film
soundtrack.
In superhero movies,
violent attacks on the public by villains are key components of many plots,
including “The Avengers”
and “The Amazing Spiderman,” both in theaters
now. By Hollywood standards, the Batman movies
are more grim than bloody.
The Christopher Nolandirected “Dark Knight”
trilogy has been more dark
than that of typical superhero films, taking a cue
from the comic book series published by DC Comics, including “Detective
Comics” and writer Frank
Miller’s gritty 1986 take
on the character, “Batman:
The Dark Knight.”
There are general parallels to the Colorado shooting, “The Dark Knight”
and the comic book character:
— Bruce Wayne’s drive
to become Batman arose
from witnessing the deaths
of his parents, Thomas
and Martha Wayne, at the
hands of small-time criminal Joe Chill, who shot and
killed them after they had
left a movie theater.
— The Batman video
game called “Arkham
City” takes place in an
abandoned movie theatre
(The Monarch, outside of
which Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed).
— In the “Dark Knight”
graphic novel by Miller,
the Joker slaughters the
audience of a television
talk show with gas.
— In the same book,
a man beleaguered man
shoots up a porn theater
after being fired from his
job, killing three people
with a handgun.
— “The Dark Knight
Rises” features at least two
scenes where unsuspecting people are attacked in
a public venue: the stock
exchange and a football
stadium.
Shooting
at her face. At first, “I was just a deer
in headlights. I didn’t know what to
do,” she said. Then she ducked to the
ground as the gunman shot people
seated behind her.
She said she began crawling toward
an exit when she saw a girl of about 14
“lying lifeless on the stairs.” She saw
a man with a bullet wound in his back
and tried to check his pulse, but “I had
to go. I was going to get shot.”
Shayla Roeder said she saw a teenage girl on the ground bleeding outside
the theater. “She just had this horrible
look in her eyes. …. We made eye contact and I could tell she was not all
right,” Roeder said.
Sylvana Guillen said that when a
man appeared at the front of the theater clad in dark clothing looking like
a SWAT team member as Catwoman
made an appearance in the movie,
the audience “thought it was a joke,
a hoax.” Then they heard gunshots
and smelled smoke from a canister
he was carrying, and Guillen knew it
was real.
The gunman began walking toward
the seats and firing. Guillen said she
told her friend, Misha Mostashiry, “You
better get ready to be shot.”
“All you could do is hope he didn’t
come for you,” Mostashiry said.
The two ran for the emergency exit
and safely escaped. On their dash to
the exit, they saw a man slip in the
blood of a wounded woman he was trying to help.
Police, ambulances and emergency
crews swarmed on the scene after
frantic calls started flooding the 911
switchboard. Officers came running in
and telling people to leave the theater,
Salina Jordan told the Denver Post.
She said some police were carrying and
dragging bodies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
July 23, 2012:
Do not make your life any more
complicated than it is. In fact, this year
you have an opportunity to add clarity
to your life and ideals. If you are single,
you attract a host of people. Some, of
course, will be friends, but a romantic
and worthy relationship also could be
heading your way. This person communicates well. If you are attached,
the two of you need to go out more as
a couple and enjoy each other’s company. You do not always need to have
people around. Your sweetie seems
unusually attracted to you. LIBRA can
tell you to back off so nicely that you
might not even realize it for hours.
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)
HHHHH Others seem to fall in
line and do what you want. You might
not even need to say anything. Stay
centered, as many people bounce their
ideas off you. Recognize when someone hits a dead end, and diplomatically bring it to this person’s attention.
Tonight: Sort through offers.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Play it relaxed, and you’ll
notice that others center themselves
as well. You come up with some wild
ideas in a discussion. Hold some of
them back, as many people are not
in the same head space as you are.
Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight:
Relax.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH You cannot help but
express your feelings, especially about
a child or potential loved one. You
might be worried about being so vulnerable. Consider being open as your
best defense; it is hard to intentionally
hurt someone this way. Tonight: Act
like it is Friday night.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH Many of you could choose
to stay home and relax. You have
pushed hard and now are experiencing
more fatigue than usual. Slow down
before you become sick. Take care of
yourself, or else you will not be able to
help anyone. Tonight: Order in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH You do not have to push
hard if you ask the right questions.
Wherever you are, others seem
to want to get feedback from you.
Remain responsive, and make sure to
return all your calls and emails. Others
will appreciate it. Tonight: Meet a friend
Horoscope
for munchies, and catch up on news.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Work on gaining a realistic
attitude about money in your life. Do
not go to extremes, as that perspective
could be your downfall when handling
a touchy situation. Zero in on the pros
and cons of a certain meeting. Tonight:
Treat yourself on the way home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You beam and draw others
in. If ever there was a time where your
actions count, it is now. Do not let a
personal or domestic problem invade
other areas of your life. Be yourself,
and be responsive; the problem will
resolve itself. Tonight: Dream up what
you want.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HH Step back some from your life,
and enjoy being an observer rather
than a player. You might need some
time to regroup, think over recent
events and consider alternatives. A lot
has happened in the past few months.
Tonight: Make it a personal night.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Zero in on what is important. Your ability to take in the whole
picture without projecting too much
ego marks your interactions. A meeting could be more important than you
realize right now, for reasons not yet
known. Tonight: Where the fun is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You are an old hand at
accepting responsibility and managing situations that many other people
would flee from. Just because you
have these skills does not mean you
always need to step up to the plate
and help. Tonight: In the limelight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Your mind keeps drifting to
distant lands and other people. You
might not be able to center yourself
with your mind wandering. Recognize
this fact, and allow yourself a little
more understanding. Consider a trip
in the near future. Tonight: Put on a
favorite music track.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Relate on a one-on-one
level, especially if you want to accomplish something. People are highly
responsive to your attention and caring. Do not forget a personal matter
that you need to handle. It could be
something as simple as calling the
doctor for a checkup. Tonight: Dinner
with a favorite person.

Finding relief for common foot problems
W
FAMILY FEATURES
ith more than 26
bones, 33 joints
and more than one
hundred muscles,
tendons and ligaments, the human
foot is quite a complicated piece of
anatomy. A lot of people take their feet
for granted — until they start to hurt.
Unfortunately, most people will have
to deal with painful feet at some time.
The American Podiatric Medical
Association (APMA) says that 75 percent of Americans will have some kind
of foot problem during their lifetime.
Some problems are caused by congenital problems or disabilities, but
most come from general wear and tear,
as well as abuse.
Here are some common foot problems
and what you can do to treat them:
Plantar Fasciitis
This is an inflammation of the plantar fascia,
the band of thick, connective tissue that runs
from the heel bone to the toes, creating the
arch of your foot. When the plantar fascia is
overstretched or overused, it gets inflamed,
causing pain and stiffness in the bottom of
the heel, and sometimes aching or a burning
sensation in the bottom of the foot.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most
common orthopedic foot complaints, and
is seen in both men and women. According
to the National Institutes of Health, you’re
more likely to get plantar fasciitis if you
have foot arch problems, a sudden weight
gain, shoes with poor arch support, or if
you are involved in long distance running.
Treatments — See your healthcare
provider. He or she may start by
recommending:
n
Medication and/or ice treatments to
reduce inflammation
n
Stretching exercises for the heel
and foot
n
Rest
n
Night splints
n
Shoes with good support; shoe
inserts or a heel cup
Treatment can last anywhere from several
weeks to two years, though most feel better
in about nine months. Sometimes, more
drastic measures are called for, such as wearing a boot cast for several weeks, steroid
shots or foot surgery.
Bunions
A bunion occurs when the joint at the base
of the big toe gets enlarged due to the big
toe joint being moved out of place. The
toe is forced to bend toward the other toes,
which causes a painful lump of bone to form
on the foot. The joint itself can also become
stiff and sore, making it even more difficult
to wear shoes or walk.
According to the APMA, bunions are a
symptom of faulty foot development, and
are usually caused by an inherited foot type,
as well as the way people walk and the type
of shoes worn. Symptoms include redness,
swelling or pain near the big toe joint, a
firm bump on the outside edge of the foot
at the base of the big toe, and restricted or
painful motion of the big toe.
Treatments — You can relieve some of
the pain by:
n
Using a commercial, non-medicated
bunion pad
n
Wearing shoes with a wide, deep
toe box
n
Avoiding high-heeled shoes
n
Applying ice several times a day to
reduce swelling.
You should visit a podiatrist if the pain
persists. If left untreated, bunions can get
larger and more painful. Your doctor may
recommend padding and taping, antiinflammatory drugs or cortisone injections,
physical therapy or shoe inserts. Surgery to
remove the bony enlargement and/or restore
normal alignment may be necessary.

Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown nails are the most common nail problem.
When one or both of the corners or sides of the
nail curves, and grows into the flesh, it can lead
to irritation, redness and swelling. Ingrown toenails can be caused by heredity, improperly
trimmed nails, shoe pressure and crowding of
toes, or repeated trauma to the feet from everyday
activities such as running or walking.
Nonsurgical treatment options include:
Treatments — To relieve pain, immerse
your foot in a basin of warm salt water or
soapy water, then apply an antiseptic and
bandage the affected area. However, anyone
with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease or
other circulatory disorders should avoid any
type of self-treatment, according to the APMA.
Seek medical care as soon as possible.
If there is drainage, odor or excessive redness,
you may have an infection. See a podiatrist or
health care provider. For chronic problems with
ingrown toenails, a podiatrist can remove a
portion of the nail with a chemical, laser or
other outpatient procedure.
To prevent ingrown toenails:
n
Avoid tight shoes and shoes with narrow
or pointed toe boxes.
n
Do not rip or tear the edges of your nails.
n
Trim toenails by cutting them straight
across. Do not dig into the corners,
and only gently round off corners with
a nail file.
Hammertoes
A hammertoe is a toe that is curled because
there’s a bend in the middle joint of the toe.
It can happen with any toe, but is most often
the second toe. It’s caused by an imbalance in the
soft tissue, often due to shoes that are too tight or
shoes with high heels. These types of shoes force
the toe against the front of the shoe, bending the
toe unnaturally.
Symptoms of hammertoe can include redness
and inflammation, joint stiffness, corns, calluses
and open sores, and pain. If left untreated, symptoms can become worse, making it difficult to
walk and wear shoes.
Treatments — Treatment options for hammertoes range from the simple to the surgical.
n
Wearing wider shoes with lower heels
n
Doing toe exercises
n
Using padding, tape or splinting
n
Taking medication for the pain
n
Using orthotics
Up until recently, surgical treatment meant
partial or full removal of bone and cartilage in
the joint, and inserting a pin that protruded from
the toe for four to six weeks. This makes it
difficult for patients to work, bathe, drive or
sleep normally until the pin is removed.
However, a new surgical option, called nextradesis, is now available. The procedure uses a
micro-implant called Nextra, designed to straighten
a toe to a stable, natural position. Developed by
two prominent foot and ankle surgeons, Nextra
was reviewed and cleared by the US Food and
Drug Administration in 2011. With this procedure,
patients can return to work and normal activities,
bathe more regularly and sleep more peacefully
than with traditional pins. The risk of infection
and reoccurrence of a hammertoe is also reduced
significantly when bone healing occurs. Learn
more about the nextradesis surgical procedure at
www.myhappytoes.com.

Bronosky earns PVH employee of the month
POINT PLEASANT — Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) recently
announced the Customer Service
Employee of the Month for July is
Julie Bronosky, payroll clerk in the
Accounting Department. Julie has
been employed with PVH since October of 2003.
Bronosky’s nomination stemmed
from her positive attitude, according to PVH. If there is ever an issue with an employee’s timesheet or
payroll check, she quickly corrects
the issue with no complaints about
the extra work, according to a hospital press release. Bronosky is also
responsible for processing invoices
and keeping the vendors paid. The
accounting department recently
hired a new accounts payable clerk,
and Bronosky has been instrumental in training her. She is patient
and welcoming to the new member
of the PVH family, according to
PVH, and Bronosky maintains the
high level of controls in accounting
in regards to approvals, supporting
documentation and confidentiality.
This is important for legal matters
and the annual audit.
“It is such a joy working with Julie. She gives 110 percent to her job
every day. She takes pride in the
work she does. She lends a helping hand to her coworkers when
they need it, and she does it with a
smile,” said Dana Richardson, controller. “Pleasant Valley Hospital is
lucky to have her, the accounting

and I’m lucky to have her. Congratulations, Julie, you deserve it.”
Bronosky has two daughters,
Delaney and McKenna. Delaney is
a sophomore and McKenna is in
seventh grade with Point Pleasant
Junior/Senior High School. She enjoys traveling and supporting her
daughters in their athletics.
In this recognition, she received a
$50 check, cookies to celebrate with
her department, and a VIP parking
space. She will also be eligible for
the Customer Service Employee of
the Year award with a chance for
$250.
Lunch gear goes stainless, makes food safety easy
J.M. Hirsch
AP Food Editor
It’s entirely likely I spend too
much time thinking about the
lunches I pack for my 7-year-old
son. After all, he probably spends
all of 5 minutes inhaling my hard
work.
But this is a different era from
the days when I proudly toted
cheese and mustard sandwiches
on whole wheat in my metal
“Empire Strikes Back” lunch box.
For generations, lunch boxes had
been just that — boxes that food
got shoved into. And frankly,
those boxes were better suited
as weapons and shields in schoolyard scuffles than as food storage
containers.
Today, parents have choices.
Lots of choices. Lunch box styles
vary from utilitarian soft-sided
cooler bags to epicurean bento
boxes or even more worldly tiffin
canisters. Lunch boxes can have
built-in ice packs. They can be
microwaved. They can be made
from bisphenol-A-free, lead-free,
phthalate-free, PVC-free plastic.
They can be forged from 18-gauge
stainless steel.
And those changes and choices
reflect not just better lunch box
technology, but also social changes. What parents pack is different. In the day, my whole wheat
was just rebellious enough to
have the nuns who ran my school
aflutter (good boys ate Wonder
bread). Today’s lunches of sushi,
soy nut noodle salads, nachos and
samosas make it seem pathetically pedestrian.
So how does a busy parent
make sense of an era when brown
bagging it almost never actually
involves brown bags?
In my case, I turned it into an
obsession and blog (or in 2012
is that redundant?), LunchBoxBlues.com. I researched the many
(many!) lunch box options, the
many containers that can go inside those lunch boxes (plastic
sandwich bags are so passe), the
many ways of fitting foods into
those containers, and the many
ways of keeping the foods in those
containers warm or cold.
Along the way I’ve spied some
winning trends and products, and
discovered some handy tips for
making the most of them. The following are among my top choices:
— STAINLESS STEALS THE
SHOW
Metal boxes went out of fashion when soft-sided bags came
on the scene. And those insulated
bags (some of them startlingly
large) are still de rigueur. But for
the stuff inside the bag — from
thermoses to food containers and
even drinking straws — stainless
steel is where it’s at.
Stainless is easy to love. It’s
eco-friendly and won’t stain or
leach anything into food. It can
handle hot or cold, goes through
the dishwasher, and is nearly indestructible (even for kids). Stainless items are pricier upfront, but
think of all the plastic sandwich
bags you won’t be buying over the
next 180 days of school.
For food containers, LunchBots
rock. Available in a wide array of
shapes, sizes and colors, including multi-compartment divided
containers, LunchBots products
(starting at about $15) offer an
easy way to pack everything from
sandwiches and salads to fruit
and dips. The multi-compartment
containers even make it easy to
create bento box-style lunches
(think Lunchables, but with food
you choose).
The company’s all-stainless
(bottom and lid) models are not
watertight, but they recently introduced a line of stainless containers that have plastic lids that
do seal.
For an all-in-one approach,
check out PlanetBox, which looks
like a bento box crossed with a
lunch tray. These clamshell-style
containers (available in small
and large, starting at about $40)
have multiple compartments into
which a surprising amount of
food can be packed. Plus, because
the covers are integrated into the
one-piece design, there are no
lids for the little ones to lose.
Another cool stainless steel
lunch item — drinking straws.
They are exactly what they sound
like: drinking straws made out of
stainless tubing. They are made
by various companies (an online search will pull up dozens
of choices) and come straight
or with a slight kink toward the
top. If your kid is a straw fanatic,
these are awesome.
If you get the straws (sets of
four cost about $10), be sure to
also get some thin bristle cleaners to make it easy to scrub out
the insides of the straws now and
again. I found a set of cleaning
brushes for about $2.
— NO HEAVY METAL
Stainless not your style? The
bento trend has gone plastic, too.
The classic choice has been from
Laptop Lunches, which makes a
plastic snap-shut case that contains a variety of food containers.
The whole thing then fits snugly
inside an insulated bag. It’s rugged, made without any of the
aforementioned chemicals and
starts around $24.
The size of the Laptop Lunches
bento system makes it ideal for
younger kids. If you’re looking
for something a bit larger or with
more flexibility, check out Newell Rubbermaid’s new Rubbermaid LunchBlox kits, available in
snack, salad and entree sizes.
Each modular kit (priced from
$10 to $20) contains a variety of
bisphenol-A-free containers that
can be stacked in various configurations. Each also includes a customized freezer pack that stacks
and interconnects with the food
containers.
— IT’S ABOUT TIME
That’s what food safety all
comes down to — time. Knowing how long food will stay hot
or cold in a lunch box or thermos
is the best way to know that the
food you pack will be safe to eat.
As a general rule, perishable
cold foods must be kept below
40 F. Hot foods should be held
at above 140 F. If those temperatures aren’t held, you have a
two-hour window to consume the
food before it becomes unsafe to
eat. That sounds scary, but — if
you do your homework before
shopping for lunch boxes and
thermoses — it turns out to be
very helpful.
By homework, I mean figure
out what time of day your child
will eat the food you pack. Now
count backward to the time you
pack the lunch. This is how long
you need to keep the food hot or
cold.
Not so long ago, that information wasn’t much help. Parents
could do little more than guess
how long a thermos would keep
soup hot or a lunch box (even
with an ice pack) would keep food
cold. That has changed. Today, a
growing number of manufacturers are rating their products so
consumers know how long they
can hold a temperature.
Lands End, for example, says
its soft-sided lunch boxes maintain refrigerator temperatures
for five hours (with an ice pack).
Thermos’ Foogo stainless steel
food jar keeps things cold for seven hours and warm for five.
One tip about thermoses — before putting food in them, always
prime them to be hot or cold, depending on the temperature you
want to maintain. Packing soup?
Fill the thermos with boiling water for a few minutes to heat it up,
then dump out the water and add
the soup. Filling it with yogurt?
Toss the empty thermos in the
freezer for a few minutes.
— GO ORGANIC
I’m not talking about the food.
If you don’t like plastic, but don’t
want metal, don’t worry. There is
a buffet of lunch box gear made
from all manner of earth-friendly
substances.
