Meanwhile, the Meigs County- Fair Board has increased the number of hand-washing stations from the two or three at previous fairs to five this year. They are located outside the animal barns and are open for use to not only exhibitors but the general public. Since the outbreak of swine flu in Butler and Gallia counties, which occurred following county fairs, prevention is being stressed in Meigs County, and steps are being taken to prevent further spread of the virus at the Meigs County Fair which officially opens tonight. Four cases of the swine flu were confirmed in Gallia County fol- lowing the fair. All four individuals had direct contact with swine at the fair, according to the latest report from Gerald E. Vallee, MD, Gallia County Health Commissioner. That report also noted that 200 suspected cases have been reported, 69 of which tested positive for Influenza A (not the swine flu), and samples from others are being sent for further testing. “When it comes to numbers, of both suspected and confirmed cases, the situation is very fluid,” said the health commissioner, adding that “symptoms have usually been mild and have not lasted long.” He emphasized that it is safe to attend county fairs. Sherry Wilcox, R.N. advises that the Meigs County Health Department has had 12 reported cases where swine flu is suspected, but none have been confirmed. Since swine flu is initially contracted through animal to human contact, she stressed that frequent hand-washing with soap and water is the best deterrent to picking up any virus which an animal might be carrying. Wilcox described the symptoms of swine flu as being very similar as for Influenza A. She stressed that transmission of the swine flu is animal to person a n d that’s why frequent hand washing is so important for anyone coming in contact with pigs, and why food should not be taken into the animal barns where it might get contaminated. “Just follow precautions such as washing your hands after being around animals and not eating or drinking around animals or in the barns, and you’ll probably be just fine,” said Wilcox. In answer to questions being asked by the public, Wilcox says cooked pork is perfectly safe to eat, and “no” the regular flu shot will not prevent swine flu.

Welsh icon visits Rio in search of family history Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com RIO GRANDE — A Welshman in search of the history of his distant ancestor recently made a stop in the Village of Rio Grande, a small town known for his Welsh heritage. It just so happens, however, that this Welshman is a legendary pop icon in his home country — a musician who has brought along a film crew as he retraces the route of his ancestor who had a small, but significant role in the history of America. Gruff Rhys, frontman of the Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals — a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter who is revered for his work in Wales — stopped in Rio Grande on Wednesday to take a tour of the small Ohio university town with Welsh roots. Rhys is currently on an “investigative concert tour” that follows the route of John Evans, a young Welshman who traveled throughout North America between 1792 and 1799. “I’m a distance relative of John Evans, so my father is obsessed with the story. I grew up with the stories since I was a kid — this larger-than-life character that came to America and had the ‘wild west experience,’” Rhys commented. Evans came to America in search of a mythical Welsh-speaking tribe of Native Americans. These Native Americans, whose existence Evans later proved to be untrue, are the mythical descendants of Prince Madog, who, according to Welsh folklore, sailed to America in 1170, over 300 years before the voyage of Christoper Columbus in 1492. According to Rhys, John Evans landed in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1792 at the age of 22 and made is way through Pennsylvania, into Pittsburgh, down the Ohio River to Cincinnati then to St. Louis. While there, he joined an expedition up the Missouri River where the Welsh-speaking Native Americans were rumored to roam. While on his journey, Evans navigated the passage through the native tribes and eventually entrenched himself with the possibly Welsh-descended Mandan tribe, who Evans found were not the mythical descendants of Prince Madog. Evans true impact on history came not from his search of the descendants of Madog, but from his extensive mapping of the Missouri basin — maps later utilized See HISTORY ‌| A2 mdtnews@mydailytribune.com NELSONVILLE — Agriculture Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Doug O’Brien announced today that the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) would receive funding through the USDA’s Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) Program. At FAO’s offices in Nelsonville on the Public Square, FAO was awarded a $200,000 grant to provide technical assistance to nine Appalachian communities located in Gallia, Guernsey, Harrison, Jackson, Meigs and Morgan counties. “We are so excited for the opportunities these resources will create in Appalachian Ohio,” said Cara Dingus Brook, president and CEO of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. “One of the Foundation’s primary goals is to ensure every community in Appalachian Ohio is served by a locally-directed community foundation. These resources are a huge boost to seeing that goal accomplished and to our ability to serve the region in this way.” FAO’s grant will support the community foundation in working in Appalachian Ohio counties without a local source of community philanthropy in addition to supporting the Foundation’s larger work to create sustainable, widely-shared prosperity for the region. By providing technical assistance and training, FAO will be working with local communities and their community foundation funds to grow or establish funds to support local community and economic development projects. “A strong rural America will bring increased economic opportunity to rural residents and communities,” O’Brien said. “The RCDI Program is designed to support organizations like the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio in their efforts to create economic opportunity and strengthen ruSee GRANT ‌| A2 Meigs County Fair opening ceremonies tonight Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — With the exhibits in place, the livestock in their stalls, and the new show ring properly dedicated, the 149th annual Meigs County Fair will officially begin at 6:30 p.m. tonight with ceremonies in front of the grandstand.

RCDI helps community-based development organizations, federally recognized Indian tribes, and other groups promote economic growth in low-income, rural communities. The grants are awarded to public or nonprofit intermediary organizations who then work with recipients, which must be located in eligible rural areas. Recipients are required to obtain matching funds, which increase the value of the grants. “With matching funds from our partner the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth, FAO is able to maximize this development opportunity for our communities and our region,” added Brook. “We look forward to working with all of our community foundation funds as part of this effort.” USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an active portfolio of more than $170 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers, and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is a regional community foundation serving the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio with the mission of enriching the region’s current and future quality of life. A 501(c)(3) public charity, the Foundation attracts contributions for programs and endowment, makes grants for charitable and civic purposes, and supports local efforts for positive change.

Remember, ing me crazy. All they do the kind of clique they is complain constantly have set up has positive about everything.

When I don’t group with common join in, they sort of shun experiences, and they me. I take most things in Dr. Joyce Brothers feel that their little famstride, and I was taught ily gives them the warm Syndicated that complaining to coand fuzzy aura of beColumnist workers or friends and longing. They even may family is just rude. Is there some way feel a sense of power. to deal with these people without If you want to try to change things alienating them? — R.G. within the group, become the kind Dear R.G.: It may not be possible of leader who distills the problems to separate yourself from this group down to things you can influence, of complainers without alienating and ask the complainers to work as them. After all, their favorite pastime a group (or with a buddy or a small at work is complaining, and each new committee) to actually address some issue is their meat and potatoes. So of the wrongs they’d like to see made don’t expect to be able to have your right. If they are uninterested, you can be sure that complaining is a coping mechanism to help get them through the day at a job they may dislike. At that point it’s time to cut the apron strings and disassociate yourself from them. Find a new crowd or even one individual who sees things the way you do, and concentrate on forging healthy work bonds. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: The time has come for my mother to transition into a nursing home, and my husband and I are unsure how important the staff are at these places. One place we looked at is elegant and new, but the people we met didn’t seem very friendly. The other place is much older, and the people who work there seem a lot nicer. I don’t really know which is more important, but it seems we can’t have both. How much say should Mom have about this? Can you offer some insight? — K.B. Dear K.B.: Depending on how interested your mother is in selecting her new home and how capable she is of physically going through the process of visiting and analyzing them, the more engaged she will feel in taking ownership of her living space and new social setting. So feel free to encourage her to get involved, and give her the power to make some of the decisions. Don’t wait until you are putting your mother in a home and therefore withdrawing her control over the very fabric of her own existence. She may focus on the location, the food, the activities, the facilities, the clients or the staff, so take her opinions into account. A recent survey by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center of 45,000 nursing-home residents and 7,400 workers concluded that those facilities in which the staff felt a sense of cohesion actually resulted in better medical care for the clients. History From Page A1 by Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the Pacific Ocean. “When Spanish-Louisiana became part of the U.S.A., his maps were passed on to President Jefferson who passed them on to Lewis and Clark and they used Evans’ maps to negotiate their way through the Missouri basin,” Rhys said. “So, he is kind of a footnote in American history.” Evans died in the year 1799, at the age of 29 in New Orleans, presumably Tee Time Call (740) 446-4653 60339963 100 Cliffside Drive Gallipolis, Ohio of the Cholera outbreak that year or possibly due a recurrence of Malaria which he contracted while traveling along the Mississippi River. While the Evans’ legend permeated his youth, Rhys reported that the spark that ignited his interest in his distant relative did not occur until years later when he was asked to write music for a theatre group performing a play about Evans’ life. The music Rhys composed some 12 years ago was never used in the play, but he stated that his interest in Evans never died and, nearly a year ago, he contacted his booking agent in New York to set up a concert tour along the route that Evans took dur- ing his time in America. The 10-concert “American Interior” tour began on August 2 at the Yale University Beinecke Library — where Evans’ original maps are kept — and will continue through August 22, where the last concert will be played in New Orleans, Louisiana — Evans’ resting place. Along the way, a film crew is following Rhys who is documenting his discoveries about the true John Evans, his role in American history and the continued existence of the Welsh culture in the United States. “In small cultures have to romanticize their stories and existence, so, this tour is trying to verify what BIDWELL HARDWARE Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home 8997 St. Rt. 160 Bidwell, Ohio 45614 PHONE: 740-446-8828 $149.95 Part of your community since 1937 60339967 TRADITION - VALUE - SERVICE $179.95 Adam McDaniel - James Anderson Directors 740-992-5141 • 740-949-2300 60340810 7th Annual Annual 8th French City Chili Fest , Come Hungry!

It’s honor to have my town be a part of it and just a fantastic thing for not only Rio Grande, but for Gallia County.” Easter further encouraged individuals interested in Wales and the impact it had on the United States to follow Rhys’ progress on the documentary.

Rhys and the documentary film crew came to Rio Grande while en route to Cincinnati for a concert on Thursday night. This visit was not coincidental as Rhys has a direct connection to the village where his friend and fellow Welshman Haydn Jones, who also has a passion for the history of Evans, attend college. According to Rhys, he has heard about the small village in Ohio for many years, but was not prepared for what he found in the Village of Rio Grande. “It’s incredible. I’ve heard of Rio Grande through Haydn over the years, but I didn’t have really a concept of it. I didn’t expect to see a town in Ohio with red dragons draped everywhere. It’s completely incredible and unbelievable and more people should know about it,” he said. Taking the rock star on a tour of the village was Rio Grande Village Mayor Matt Easter.

From childhood Evans suffered with the dreaded mental illness of schizophrenia, which has no cure. As time passed, the disease took more of Evan away from us; voices tormented him, friends deserted him, and family avoided him. With many medicine changes requiring hospitalization, he spent many lonely hours, with tears from hurts, disappointments and his struggles. Those who did take time to know him expressed that they were a better person for knowing him, speaking of his limitless compassion he had for everyone. Trusting God, Evan never gave up. He looked inward finding his talents in music and writing. He was an excellent pianist, keyboardist, accordion player and was a published poet. A memorial to honor Evan has been placed at the Woodland Centers Yellowbush apartments in Racine by those he helped and loved. We were blessed to have you for our son. You are sadly missed by mom and dad, sister Jana, brother Owen, nieces and nephews. To be normal and accepted became his goal. In Evan’s own words: “The one thing I want out of life is just a good day; a peaceful and good-feeling day”. Son, you now have that with God where you prayed to be. 60343638 60343353 r e m m u S r u o Y e g n a Ch S N PLwA ith a new home!

Now it’s ready for a road trip. The nine-time Tony Award-winning musical opens its first national tour in Denver this month after its creators have gently prepared the little sister version to stagger off without them. “Doing a musical is like having a kid,” says Trey Parker during a break in rehearsals in New York. “It’s out there alive somewhere. It’s not like a movie or a TV show where what we intended is what everyone will see. The kid can act out. The kid’s going to do what it wants to do.” Parker, with fellow “South Park” writer Matt Stone and “Avenue Q” co-creator Robert Lopez, have left little to chance, showing up every day to make sure the touring company is up to snuff. “It does need a parent sometimes to come in and say, ‘Hey!’” says Parker. “In a way, each production is kind of like a kid, too, because they do have a little bit different personality and there’s different things you have to worry about.” Jokes Stone: “I think I’m going to like my third kid the best.” “The Book of Mormon” was crowned best musical for its offensive yet good-natured look at two missionaries who arrive in Uganda and get way more than they bargained for, including gun-toting warlords and a running gag about maggots in a man’s scrotum. It quickly became the hottest ticket on Broadway — last week it was again sold out and had Broadway’s highest average ticket price at $186. The show also won a Grammy Award and recouped its $11.4 million capitalization after just nine months. A tour made sense, especially since box-office numbers haven’t softened since it opened in March 2011. The tour, led by Gavin Creel, plays the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver from Aug. 14 to Sept. 2, and then it hits more than 15 cities including Los Angeles; San Francisco; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; Des Moines, Iowa; Minneapolis; St. Louis; Rochester, N.Y.; Detroit; Pittsburgh; Boston; Toronto; Buffalo, N.Y.; Cleveland; and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., by next summer. There’s more on tap: Another production is slated to open in Chicago in December and by March 2013 all the silliness will be available at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. “Once they do it on Carnival Cruise Lines, we’re done,” jokes Parker. So far, there are no plans to turn the property into a film. Parker says they might if the movie version was “totally different and its own thing,” adding: “People won’t necessarily expect what it turns out to be.” The creators have made no changes to the story or score for the touring stage version, although they did have to make a slight tweak to accommodate the much larger venues the show will now play in. “We added a couple of Africans to populate Africa a little bit. But that’s it. The show’s the show,” says Parker, who adds, straight-faced: “We’ve written pure gold. It’s hard to screw it up.” While that may be hard to deny, the trio insist they had no idea “The Book of Mormon” would become the massive hit it has become when they first delivered their baby on Broadway. Parker just hoped it didn’t close quickly. His secret wish? That it became “biggish.” Stone also was risk-averse: “I didn’t want to fail. Maybe that’s a year and a-half or a year.” Parker says all three are used to being on the outside looking in, whether it’s with the foul-mouthed kids from “South Park” or the foul-mouthed puppets of “Avenue Q.” “We’ve never been the top dog. We’ve always been the weird little show over here flipping off the teacher,” he says. “And so to be, all of a sudden, The Show? We’re not totally comfortable. We don’t know what that feels like.” Jokes Lopez: “I’m still not OK with it.” Parker and Stone first met Lopez after a performance of his “Avenue Q,” the funny, often raunchy musical tribulations of twentysomethings. Lopez credited the “South Park” guys with laying the groundwork for his quirky, profane musical and they, in turn, told Lopez he had inspired them. “I kind of had counted Broadway out for dead. It was all remakes of movies. It was always something rehashed,” says Parker. “If nothing else, I’ll be most proud if we somehow change Broadway just a little bit and make more original stuff come out.” The three have discussed working together again, but so far a story like the one that tumbled out organically about Mormon missionaries hasn’t emerged. “We’ve thought of it. We just haven’t thought up the idea,” says Lopez, who is working on a comedy project with his brother for ABC. Adds Stone: “We’re just waiting for ‘aha!’” Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Reader responds to Rep. Bill Johnson’s article Dear Editor, This letter is in reference to an incident that happened in Pageville, Ohio. A few weeks ago, some people went to my parked [vehicle] and took clubs and beat all my windows out, including the windshield, headlights and mirrors. I don’t know [who] they were, but they know. I have never did anything to anybody to deserve this. I am 75 years old and on Social Security. My insurance won’t cover it, and it is costing over $1,000 which I haven’t got because I have a lot of health issues and must go to the doctor. If anyone over in Pageville has any names for me, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Libby Moodispaugh Coolville, Ohio Dear Editor, I would like to respond to an article that appeared in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune on July 24, 2012. The article was written by Rep. Bill Johnson called, “Empower, Don’t Punish, Job Creators.” Mr. Johnson, you are very naive or else too dumb to see the truth when it is laying in front of you. You took President Obama’s message about job creation completely out of context. Listen to the whole message. You might fool some of your constituents, but not all of us. Some of us know differently. Everyone of us need some help sometimes, but maybe you refuse to help. That could be your problem. The only person that you listen to seems to be Grover Norquist. Tell us about your commitment to him. Did you sign the pledge with him? Who do you represent? I think we need to remind you that you are there to represent the people in your district for whom you were elected, not Grover Norquist. All we ever hear from you and the Republican Party is cut taxes and social programs. Because of the Bush Tax Cuts, the jobs have disappeared, there should be jobs everywhere, where are they, Mr. Johnson? You look those poor, hungry children in the eye and tell them we cannot give them anymore food stamps because we have to give the top 2 percent a tax break. Shame on all of you. I think if you would go back and look at previous years, we had a much better economy when ‘everybody’ pad their fair share of taxes. This is where Grover Norquist comes in — are you scared of him? You worry about defense spending. How many times do we have to kill the world just to prove we can do it? I think all you need is one time. No one ever got killed negotiating a peace treaty. You complain about regulations on businesses. Have you already forgotten about the collapse of Wall Street and the taxpayers bail out of Wall Street? You talk about the EPA. Thank goodness someone is trying to clean up the water and our air. Remember, we live in the Ohio Valley, better known as “cancer valley”. We need to have someone to at least keep our environment clean. These businesses that do not want to be regulated, let them build them in Mr. Norquist’s and your back yard. I think with some negotiation, we can come to a workable solution with all concerned. C ongress only has around a 10 percent approval rating at the present time. That is not good enough to maintain a job in Washington. We couldn’t pay you minimum wage because you are all not worth it. Mr. Johnson, you are the “red tape” in Washington. The Gallipolis Daily Tribune gave you a very sizeable space. I just hope they will allow me the same courtesy. Sincerely, Bud Crothers, A registered voter Reader says we must return to God’s ways Dear Editor, Now that the Supreme Court has failed the American people, we must take our case to the court of the Most High — the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Man will fail us but God will not if we confess our unworthiness and pray that He will give us leaders who rely on His Word. The Bible tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my Name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” The only answer to America’s problems is to return to the Bible and do things God’s way. In the Old Testament, God’s Word tells us over and over how His chosen people (the Jews) received His blessings when they followed His directions. Then after several years of blessings, they repeatedly turned to other gods and He would crush them. They would repent of their sins and His blessings would return. God has blessed America in so many ways, but our judgment is coming. Lester Plymale Gallipolis, Ohio Why not combine three Ohio Valley newspapers? Dear Editor, I was thinking why not just have one paper? Put Mason, Gallia and Meigs news all into one paper. Everyone either works in Ohio or West Virginia or knows someone. Then we would have a nice paper.

Ave. Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 An online guest registry is available at waugh-halleywood.com Sandra Kay McDaniel Sandra Kay McDaniel, 46, of Racine, Ohio, left this life and was lifted to heaven on August 10, 2012. She was born on June 9, 1966, in Manchester, Kentucky, to Harrison and Mallie Collett. As a teenager, Sandra met the love of her life and best friend, Jackie McDaniel, who survives. Also surviving are her four loving children of whom she was so proud, Kimberly and Adam who now reside in Gallipolis, Ohio, Jonny from Rio Grande, Ohio and Tiffany, from Racine. Sandra and Jackie were married on her birthday in 1982. In the early years of their marriage, Jackie and Sandra were drawn to live in Meigs County, Ohio, by a relative, and so they moved, eventually living near Racine. Their thirty year marriage was filled with many challenges, but their love for one another prevailed. One of their challenges was Sandra’s diagnosis of MS in 1989. This debilitating disease affected her in so many ways. But even though she was unable to live the life she wanted, Sandra was given such grace. We never heard her question why she had to live with MS. Instead, she allowed God to use her as an example of how to live life to the fullest through trials that most of us can never imagine. She has been unable to walk for several years and most recently, her breathing became affected, causing numerous hospitalizations. Sandra was a true living testimony and she showed us how to live with both grace and gratitude. Many friends remember visiting Sandra for the purpose of uplifting her, only to realize that we were the ones being cheered by her unwavering faith and living testimony. One of her last wishes was to let everyone know that she tried her best to live the life God planned for her, and that she was devoted to caring for her four children and husband Jackie who became her very dedicated primary caretaker. When she was physically able, one of Sandra’s favorite pastimes was to go shopping for clothes and costume jewelry,and she usually returned home with bargains no one else could find. She loved to dress up and look beautiful. Her family and friends will always remember that even though she was suffering, Sandra had a gorgeous smile and radiant beauty. Mixed with that wonderful Kentucky accent, she was a friend and relative that will not be forgotten. Jackie and Sandra are both members of the CarmelSutton United Methodist Church. We all know that she is now in heaven, and that her special wish has been granted. That wish was to be free of the pain and suffering she has endured from the MS, and to be able to run and play on the streets of gold. She has pictured that vision in her mind for many years and now wants those who knew her to imagine her there, running freely and with no pain. Sandra’s fervent hope was that other family members will make the decision to ask forgiveness and dedicate their lives to Jesus so they can eventually join her as she runs and plays. Sandra was preceded in death by a brother, Darrell Collett. Other survivors include her brothers, Harold, Ricky, Keith (Turkey), Bobby, and sisters, Carolyn Collins, Lois Owens, Brenda Edwards, Diane Collett and Cathy, all from Kentucky, plus numerous aunts, uncles and extended relatives. In addition, she is survived by many friends, including her church family and numerous caretakers, who have done their part to make her life a little more comfortable. And for that, she was always grateful. Services will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 13, 2012, at the Sutton United Methodist Church on Bashan Road with Pastors Arland King and Dewayne Stutler officiating. Burial will follow in the Carmel Cemetery. Visitation will be held for family and friends from 4-7 p.m. on Sunday, August 12, 2012, at the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Racine. These services will include many songs that Sandra chose in advance. Her husband Jackie has so often given her a private concert of singing and playing on his guitar songs like these. She loved music.

A months-long undercover investigation by the sheriff’s office has resulted in felony charges against the men and 613 letters being sent to the people who obtained the certificates, which are required to apply for concealedcarry licenses. Scott told the local newspaper that more licenses could be affected as the investigation continues. Scott said that his office began its probe in April and used undercover agents to buy illicit training certificates from the operation, which relied heavily on word of mouth. The men arrested in the case were identified as 42-year-old Adam Chaykin of Columbus, 48-year-old Ken Fouch of Columbus and 62-year-old John Marshall of Madison Township. Each has been charged with one count of complicity to falsification to obtain a concealed-carry permit. They could face up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine if convicted. All three men have posted bond. Employment records show that Fouch is a Franklin County court security officer. Marshall, a certified firearms instructor, sold signed training certificates to Chaykin and Fouch, Scott said. He said that Chaykin and Fouch, who aren’t trained firearms teachers, conducted sessions that also fell far short of the required training, which includes at least 10 hours of class time and two hours of range time. In some cases, they conducted no training at all but provided the certificates for $200 to $300. penses.

Army Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, a Muslim, was planning a religious mission seeking justice for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a recorded jail conservation with his mother played for jurors at trial. U.S. District Judge Walter Smith allowed Abdo to represent himself at Friday’s sentencing after the 22-year-old told the judge last month that he and his attorneys weren’t communicating effectively. Abdo, who was sentenced to two life terms plus additional time, sat in court with a white cloth bound over his mouth and a black mesh covering his hair and face. He has previously been accused of spitting what he thought was HIV-infected blood on agents escorting him. Referring to Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused in the fatal shooting of 13 people at the Fort Hood military COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state’s top education official said Friday that new acting schools superintendent Michael L. Sawyers’ admitted misuse of district credit card is a “nonissue” and likely won’t affect his candidacy if he applies for the permanent job. Sawyers said he mixed up credit cards and accidentally used the district card for more than $800 in personal purchases when he was superintendent of Perry Local Schools in northeast Ohio. He repaid the money and was reprimanded by the district in 2010. The Ohio Board of Education was aware of the mistake when it unanimously voted to hire him as an assistant state superintendent in 2010, board president Debe Terhar said. She termed it a “non-issue” that likely won’t come up if Sawyers applies for the permanent position. She said he’s done a “wonderful job” as deputy. “Michael made restitution, there was an audit done,” Terhar said. “He acknowledged it was an error, he paid it back and everything was finished.” Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton said Sawyers was “upfront about it from the beginning.” Sawyers’ credit card mistake, reported by The Columbus Dispatch Thursday, comes to light again following the resignation of Superintendent Stan Heffner amid allegations of ethical violations. A report last week by the state’s inspector general found Heffner was on the payroll of a Texas-based testing firm when he lobbied state lawmakers last year on a bill that benefited the company. The report also found Heffner misused his state email, cellphone and staff to pursue the testing job. Sawyers said in a telephone interview Friday that his district card and personal cards looked similar, and he simply mixed them up. “I was basically not paying attention,” he said. “It was the same color card.” He said the district brought the mistake to his attention and gave him a chance to repay the money. He said he apologized to the school board and the community. The Dispatch reported that over a period of two years Sawyers bought pizzas and paid for a bottle of wine during a dinner with a Perry board member that was supposed to have been charged to a different bill. He also used a leftover Disney World meal card originally purchased for student band members. As a result, the local school district tightened its credit card policy. Sawyers was named deputy superintendent in 2011 after Heffner’s appointment. The board is scheduled to talk about how to move forward at an Aug. 20 meeting. Sawyers said Friday he didn’t know yet if he will apply for the top job. 60340293 Hogg and Zuspan Material Co. MS 170 STIHL CHAIN SAW OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) — Hundreds of people streamed into a Wisconsin high school Friday to pay their final respects to six worshippers gunned down by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee. Somber, tearful mourners, most wearing scarves on their heads in the Sikh tradition, greeted victims’ family members with hugs at the Oak Creek High School gymnasium. Six open caskets were arranged inside the gymnasium, with flowers adorning the bodies. A large video screen flashed photos of those killed and injured. Mourners took their seats as Sikh singers sang hymns in Punjabi, an Indian dialect. One of the singers paused to translate some lyrics into English. “Dear God, you have given me this body and this soul. This body is doing whatever you want me to do. You take this soul, this is your soul,” he said. 60340335 Mike Sigler Sales Phone: 304-674-8022 Email: mike@abcontractingwv.com www.abcontractingwv.com 5533 Ohio River Rd., Point Pleasant, WV 25550 ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � � WE CAN GET YOU OUT OF DEBT QUICKLY � WE CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS � WE CAN HELP YOU AVOID BANKRUPTCY CREDIT CARD RELIEF for your FREE consultation CALL 888-838-6679 Not available in all states ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� Over $10,000 in credit card bills?

Scott Walker addressed the crowd, telling mourners the Sikh community has shown others that the best way to respond to hate is with love. “Today we mourn with you, we pray with you, we support you,” Walker said. Several dozen police officers stood by in the gym, watching the service. The wake and visitation, initially scheduled to last for two hours, was extended by another two to accommodate mourners who traveled from abroad and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder as a last-minute speaker. Other dignitaries expected to attend include Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan. After the service, mourners planned to return to the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin where the six died and three others were critically wounded Sunday morning. There, priests will read the Sikh holy book from cover to cover in a traditional rite A B Contracting Modular Home Division ONLY $179.95!! BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT? post, Abdo said that he lived in Hasan’s shadow despite “efforts to outdo him.” Abdo said he would continue his jihad — an Arabic term for holy war — “until the day the dead are called to account for their deeds.” He spoke in Arabic several times during his allocution, and then translated it for the court. “I do not ask the court to give me mercy, for Allah is the one that gives me mercy,” he said while reading from notes. A federal jury convicted Abdo in May on six charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when arrested with bomb-making materials last summer at a Fort Hood-area motel. He also was found guilty of attempted murder of U.S. officers or employees and four counts of possessing a weapon in furtherance of a federal crime of violence. There is no parole in the federal prison system. After the sentencing, U.S. Attorney Robert Pitman compared Abdo’s plot to recent mass shootings at a movie theatre near Denver and a Sikh temple in suburban Mil- waukee. “In the wake of the tragic events in Colorado and Wisconsin, this is yet another reminder that there are those among us who would use or plan to use violence to advance their twisted agenda,” Pitman said. In a recorded police interview, Abdo said he wanted to carry out the attack “because I don’t appreciate what my unit did in Afghanistan.” His plan, according to what he told authorities, was to place a bomb in a busy restaurant filled with soldiers, wait outside and shoot anyone who survived — and become a martyr after police killed him. According to testimony, Abdo told an investigator he didn’t plan an attack inside Fort Hood because he didn’t believe he would be able to get past security at the gates. Abdo grew up in the Dallas suburb of Garland and at age 17 decided to follow Islam. He enlisted in the military in 2009, thinking that the service wouldn’t conflict with his religious beliefs. But in an essay that was part of his conscientious objector status application filed in June 2010, Abdo wrote that he reconsidered as he explored Islam further. Abdo said in his discharge request that other soldiers harassed him about his religion during basic and advanced training. As he neared deployment, he said he studied Islam more closely to learn “whether going to war was the right thing to do Islamically.” Abdo’s unit was deployed to Afghanistan without him. He said he would refuse to go even if it resulted in a military charge against him. His conscientious objector status was put on hold after he was charged with possessing child pornography in May 2011. Two months later, during the Fourth of July weekend, Abdo went AWOL from the Kentucky Army post. In the essay included in the conscientious objector status application, Abdo described the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage that left 13 dead and more than two dozen wounded as “an act of aggression by a man and not by Islam.” Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted in the Army post shootings. His court-martial is set for later this month at Fort Hood. Hundreds gather for Sikh temple shooting memorial 800.282.7201 • www.rio.edu 312 6th Street, Pt Pleasant, WV 304-675-8989 • M-F 8-5 • Sat 8-12 Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A6 ����������������������������� �������� �� �� �� � � ��� ���������������� � ������� ������ ������� honoring the dead called “Akhand Path.” That process takes 48 hours. “We want to pay homage to the spirits who are still in there,” said Harpreet Singh, a nephew of one of the victims. Earlier Friday, about two dozen worshippers milled around the temple, where blood-stained carpet had been replaced and some walls had been freshly painted by members allowed inside the day before. One bullet hole in a door jamb leading to the main prayer hall was left unrepaired as a memorial to the shooting victims. Kuldeep Chahal, 35, a Sikh teacher from Toronto, arrived at the temple Friday with several other people after driving for 12 hours. Chahal brought banners and cards that temple members in Canada had signed for families of the victims. “The reason we came down is because we definitely what to show the community how much we support them,” Chahal said. Federal investigators may never know why 40-year-old Wade Michael Page chose to attack strangers in a holy place. What they do know is that the Army veteran opened fire with a 9 mm pistol at the temple, shortly before Sunday services were due to begin. Page killed five men and one woman, and injured two other men. Authorities say he then ambushed the first police officer who responded, shooting him nine times and leaving him in critical condition. A second officer then shot Page in the stomach, and Page took his own life with a shot to the head. The officer who was injured, Oak Creek Police Lt. Brian Murphy, was upgraded Thursday to satisfactory condition. The dead included Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65, the temple president who was shot as he tried to fend off Page with a butter knife. The other victims included: — Ranjit Singh, 49, and his 41-year-old brother, Sita Singh, two priests whose families were back in India and whose lives in America revolved around their faith; — Suveg Singh Khattra, 84, a former farmer in India who was a constant presence at the temple; — Prakash Singh, 39, a priest who was remembered as a fun-loving personality who enjoyed telling jokes; and — Paramjit Kaur, 41 who worked 66 hours a week to provide for her family, but also found time to pray every day for at least an hour. The FBI roped off the temple for four days while agents conducted their investigation. They handed the keys back to Sikh leaders Thursday morning.

ODNR offers special deer hunts on seven state nature preserves Permits to participate in controlled hunts will be awarded by lottery COLUMBUS — In an effort to control deer populations impacting native plant communities, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, in conjunction with the ODNR Division of Parks, will again coordinate special gun and archery deer hunts at seven state nature preserves across the state. High quality habitats at several state nature preserves including Goll Woods, Lawrence Woods, Christmas Rocks and Lake Katharine have been negatively impacted by over-browsing deer. For example, large flowered trillium — Ohio’s state wildflower and once commonly seen — have nearly disappeared from many sites because of foraging deer. “Special management hunts are an excellent tool we can utilize to protect native plant communities in Ohio’s best natural areas,” said Ryan Schroeder, preserve manager at Goll Woods State Nature Preserve. “These hunts allow Ohio’s hunters to assist us with our land management activities while giving them a chance to see and appreciate some of Ohio’s highest quality natural areas they may never see otherwise.” Application for the hunts this year will be handled at the local level by individual preserve managers. Hunters must attend individual meetings if they are interested in particular hunts. At that time, hunters can enter the drawing (up to five entries per hunter will be allowed with a $5 fee for each entry). Hunters must possess a valid 2012-13 hunting license in order to purchase tickets. Names will be ran- Second Grade: Room 109, Mrs. Cochrane — Madison Adkins, Gage Brooks, Hannah Chapman, Isaiah Cooper, Tyler Dahse, Allison Dailey, Keagen Daniels, Savannah Friend, Morgan Gibson, Landon Goheen, Ethan Hartley, James Holt, Emma Mayes, Eve Minshall, Kylie Plantz, domly drawn, and hunting pairs will be assigned a two week block of time to hunt. The orientation for the hunters will be conducted immediately following the drawing. Each special archery hunt permit will be good for two hunters for the two week period, although only one of the two hunters must attend the drawing and orientation. These hunts are “doe first” hunts, meaning a buck can be taken only after an antlerless deer is harvested. This helps ensure that the deer herd is impacted. Special regulations will be addressed at the orientation meetings following the drawings. All ODNR Division of Wildlife rules and regulations will be followed, including bag limits and tagging procedures. The Lake Katharine Gun hunt drawing will be conducted in the same manner as the archery hunts, except that the orientation will not be held the same day as the drawing. Pairs of hunters will be drawn for one of two possible two-day hunts during the weeklong statewide gun season. Orientations for the gun hunt will occur on the first morning of the hunt period. Hunters may apply for hunts at multiple sites, but they must attend the meeting for each hunt in order to enter the drawing. Do not mail entry forms.

(AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney tapped Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate on Saturday, turning to the architect of a conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending. Romney made his announcement to supporters via a phone app. “Mitt’s Choice for VP is Paul Ryan,” it said and implored backers to spread the word. The ticket-mates arranged their first joint appearance later in the morning at a naval museum, the initial stop of a bus tour through four battleground states in as many days. In a written statement issued a short while later, Romney’s campaign said that Ryan had worked in Congress to “eliminate the federal deficit, reform the tax code and preserve entitlements for future generations.” In a statement issued Friday night, Romney’s campaign said only that the running mate would be present at 9 a.m. EDT at the Nauticus Museum. The USS Wisconsin is berthed there — offering a hint about Ryan’s selection. Ryan’s selection — as well as Romney’s own nomination — will be ratified by delegates to the Republican National Convention that begins on Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden will be nominated for a second term at the Democratic convention the following week. At 42, Ryan is a generation younger than the 65-year-old Romney. His conservative credentials are highly regarded by fellow Republican House mem- bers, while numerous polls found that Romney’s own were suspect among the party’s core supporters during the primaries of winter and spring. A seventh-term congressman, Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee, and primary author of conservative tax and spending blueprints that the tea party-infused Republican majority approved over vociferous Democratic opposition in 2011 and again in 2012. It envisions transforming Medicare into a program in which future seniors would receive government checks that they could use to purchase health insurance. Under the current program, the government directly pays doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Ryan and other supporters say the change is needed to prevent the program from financial calamity. Critics argue it would impose ever-increasing costs on seniors. Other elements of the budget plan would cut projected spending for Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, as well as food stamps, student loans and other social programs that Obama and Democrats have pledged to defend. In all, it projected spending cuts of $5.3 trillion over a decade, and cut future projected deficits substantially. It also envisions a far reaching overhaul of the tax code of the sort Romney has promised. In turning to Ryan, Romney bypassed other potential running mates without the Wisconsin lawmaker’s following among rankand-file conservatives, including Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Homeroom From Page A7 Chloe Rodgers, Gracie Rucker, Alyssa Sargent-Holland, Levi Smith, Ethan Wilhlem, Carl Willis, Luke Willis.

Fox’s 92.0 points leads second place John Williams of Leon by only a half point. Holding down third place is Point Pleasant native Roger Putney with 84.5 points for his efforts. There are just seven weeks remaining in the second half of play. A total of 90 players were on hand for Tuesday’s play making up 21 teams of four players and two teams of three players. The low round of the day was a 13 under par 57 shot by the team of Mick Winebrenner, Jim Gordon, Gene Thomas and Dale Miller. Finishing second on the day with a score of 61 was the team of Bob Oliver, Dave Seamon, Mitch Mace and Fred Dailey. There was a two way tie for third place on the day at 62 between the team of Willis Korb, Roger Putney, Phil Burgess and Jerry Arnold and the team of Cuzz Laudermilt, Tom McNeely, Bob Hysell and Jack Fox. The closest to the pin winners were Kenny Greene on the ninth hole and Willis Dudding on the 14th. The League will continue play through the month of September on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. Jack Fox leads the way with 92.0 points followed by John Williams (91.5), Roger Putney (84.5), Bill Yoho (83.5), Dale Miller (81.5), Paul Somerville (81.5), Dave Seamon (78.5), Bob Humphery (78.0), Earl Johnson (78.0), and Russ Holland (77.0). Gary W. Green/Orlando Sentinel/MCT photo Ohio State freshman quarterback Braxton Miller (5) drops back to pass against Florida in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, Monday, January 2, 2012. Florida defeated Ohio State, 24-17. Braxton Meyer looks for game-breaker in both scarlet and gray COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer won two national titles at Florida by spreading the field and getting the ball into the hands of a quick, strong, gamebreaker. Now the most sought-after coach in college football has taken his act up to NCAAsanctioned Ohio State and the Big Ten, a team without the jaw-dropping playmakers Meyer had with the Gators. Don’t expect him to change a thing. “Sure. I just hope someone steps up to take one of those positions that we need,” he said after a recent practice when asked if he can do with the Buckeyes what he did on offense at Florida. “The answer is yes.” Meyer’s arrival at Ohio State would have been the sport’s biggest story line headed into this season if no one had ever heard the name Jerry Sandusky. Out of coaching for a year because of health problems and stress, Meyer was lured back to his home state after former coach Jim Tressel got deposed for hiding that players were trading Ohio State memorabilia for cash and tattoos with a suspected drug dealer. The Buckeyes will sit out a bowl this season as a result of the scandal, but Meyer isn’t waiting to put his stamp on the program. The secret is finding the new Percy Harvin, the former Gators and now Minnesota Vikings star. Meyer used him at Florida at tailback, in the slot, out wide, at tight end — even taking snaps at quarterback. Ohio State saw him at his best up close and personal in the 2007 BCS national championship game when Meyer’s offense befuddled the Buckeyes in a laughably lopsided 41-14 rout. Ever since that painful but perhaps instructive loss in the Arizona desert, Ohio State has longed for a quickstrike offense like Meyer’s. Now they have the man with the plan. The Buckeyes just need some players to run it. Meyer spent all of spring practice trying to find a speedy player he could put in the open field who could make an opposing team pay for a missed tackle. The first few days of learning the new offense he said were a “clown show,” with linemen running into each other, backs going the wrong way, fumbles, interceptions and dropped passes. Asked how far the offense has progressed since then, new coordinator Tom Herman all but bursts out laughing. “Light years,” he said three times. “We actually can throw and catch a football. If we were at a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10 coming out of the spring in terms of throwing and catching, we’re up to a 4. We’re still not real good, but we’re still a lot better than we were at the end of the spring. That’s a testament to our guys and how much they worked in the offseason.” Meyer thought he had a speedster to build the offense around in Jordan Hall, a small but fast tailback who was seldom utilized in Tressel’s system. Point Pleasant making upgrades at OVB Field Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Consider it a progression in progress. As Point Pleasant High School prepares for its transition up to Class AAA this season, the Big Blacks are busy making some small additions to Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field that will make a big difference in the coming months — and years —for the community. A new concession stand and restrooms are currently being constructed in the northwest endzone, which will bring the now four-year old stadium complex one step closer to its overall completion. OVB Field — which opened in August of 2009 — has had to make due with port-a-potties and limited concession areas since its inception, but the latest addition to this multi-purpose complex will remedy that problem for quite some time. The new facility will provide a pair of spacious restroom areas for both men and women, and the new concession stand will provide not only an updated space for food preparation and sales — but also an extra room for storage of both refrigerated and dry goods. This new addition will not only be useful for the football, soccer and track teams that play inside See FIELD ‌| B2 Bryan Walters/photo A view of the new door and windows installed in the Big Blacks’ locker room at the Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field athletic complex located in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

The Who, Spice Girls to rock Olympic closer LONDON (AP) — The London Games are set to end in a blazing tribute to British pop and pizazz, with a closing ceremony that will see stars from the Spice Girls to The Who turn Olympic Stadium into a giant jukebox of musical hits. Two weeks of sporting drama wrap up Sunday with what music director David Arnold has called “the greatest after-party in the world.” “If the opening ceremony was the wedding, then we’re the wedding reception,” Arnold told the Daily Telegraph — with everyone from the Pet Shop Boys to Annie Lennox and Fatboy Slim on hand to get people dancing. Although organizers have tried to the ceremony under wraps, many details have leaked out in the British media — and some of the performers have let the cat out of the bag themselves. The Who, George Michael, Muse and Ed Sheeran have all said they will take part in a show that will include performances of 30 British hit singles from the past five decades. Tips and photos have emerged from the rehearsal venue, an old car plant in east London. The Spice Girls were photographed dancing atop black London taxis, so a rendition of their biggest hit, “Wannabe,” seems certain. So does an appearance by surviving members of Queen, whose “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” have been ever-present at the games. And Ray Davies of The Kinks is tipped to perform his majestic London ballad “Waterloo Sunset.” Paul McCartney has already performed at the opening ceremony, but it’s inconceivable that there won’t be a bit of Beatles music in a tribute to the best of British pop. And organizers will want to include younger acts such as Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Emeli Sande and the Kaiser Chiefs. Organizers have said they want the ceremony to be a “cheeky” reflection of modern Britain, so expect touches of Monty Pythonesque humor — perhaps even Python Eric Idle leading a mass rendition of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” The Daily Mail newspaper published photographs of what it said was the set, involving reconstructions of London landmarks such as St. Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge. The show won’t be short on spec- tacle. Director Kim Gavin has overseen tours for the band Take That and directed London’s 2007 Princess Diana memorial concert. Designer Es Devlin has created sets for everyone from Lady Gaga to the Royal Opera. As with director Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony, London is aiming for a plucky, irreverent tone far removed from Beijing’s 2008 Olympic closer, which was heavy on precision displays of fireworks, acrobatics and dancing. “It’s not anything desperately profound,” London games chief Sebastian Coe said. “It’s not the opening ceremony but I think it will be great. It’s basically a tribute to British music over the last few decades. It’s fun.” There will also be a section of song and dance created by the next Summer Games host country, Brazil. And of course there will be ceremonial elements, including an athletes’ march, the raising of the flags of Greece — birthplace of the Olympics— current host Britain and 2016 games host Brazil, speeches and the extinguishing of the Olympic cauldron, marking the handover of the games to Rio. But the main event will be a mashup See CLOSER ‌| B2 �Sunday, August 12, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Meyer Field From Page B1 From Page B1 But a piece of glass delayed that grand experiment. The university says Hall was walking around outside his apartment complex in his bare feet in late June when he stepped on some glass, severing a tendon in his right foot. He underwent surgery and is making progress, but likely won’t be available to play until late September. Of course, quarterback Braxton Miller will initiate the offense. Even though he is a shifty runner, he is too valuable to the Buckeyes to take a whole lot of hits. Meyer’s attack has been at its best with a mobile quarterback — Alex Smith at Utah, Chris Leak and Tim Tebow at Florida — who can run when needed but who can get the ball in open space to his receivers. So Meyer continues to seek someone who can be both a deep threat and dangerous on the bubble screen. Receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer have the speed but so far haven’t taken the next step. Running back Carlos Hyde is quick — for a 235-pounder. He doesn’t fit the mold of the tall, lithe Harvin or Utah’s Paris Warren, versatile players who could sidestep a tackler or beat a defender off the snap. They were also stellar receivers, in addition to being fast. Hyde, used mostly as a battering ram out of the backfield, caught all of 10 passes a year ago. There are other candidates out wide, including Corey Brown and Devin Smith. Although it’s difficult to compare preseasons, many observers say Meyer’s presence has added a tad more intensity this year. He has stressed one-on-one drills, playing beyond the whistle and lots and lots of competition — in almost everything the team does. The fundamental play of the new attack is the quick pass. “It’s more uptempo, kind of catching the defense off guard,” Brown said. “There’s more complex passes, more crossing routes, downfield routes. Coach Meyer and coach Herman are really trying to emphasize getting the best athletes in space.” Now the goal is to determine who are the best athletes. Meyer readily acknowledges that his old conference, the SEC, has faster players than the Big Ten, particular off the corner on defense but also at the skill positions. He also knows that at his previous stops on the coaching carousel there might have been more individual speed. “You can adapt. That’s what we’re going to have to do,” he said. “I didn’t have exactly (the player to fit that mold in) Paris Warren at Utah — not to keep going backwards, I need to keep going forward. He was a 4.7-second guy in the 40 but he played so fast. I just want guys to play fast.” Hyde may not be that guy, but he still loves the new play-asecond philosophy. “I’m excited ‘cause I’m going to be out in the open, just one-on-one,” he said. “I won’t have to worry about two or three guys chasing me, I can be one-on-one, make that guy miss, and it’ll be off to the races.” the OVB Field complex, but the facility will also be accessible for the same purposes for baseball, softball, and soonto-be tennis squads that have their stadiums located on campus. The new facility has openings in both the front and back of the building, which will allow concessions to be sold for all outdoor sports — regardless of the season. The building, itself, is centered in between the baseball, softball and football complexes, allowing fans at any of the three venues to pick up a snack while taking in a game. The building also has restroom entrances on both sides of the facility, again allowing spectators of any outdoor sport on campus the luxury of a little relief if it is needed. The facility is also located close to the future homes of the athletic field house and tennis courts, which will be added a little later on down the road as part of the original OVB stadium project. And while the new concession-restroom facility will officially be completed shortly after the start of the 2012 season, there are also some private additions going on at the campus that will greatly improve athletics at Point Pleasant. The football boosters raised around $12,000 for some additions to the football locker room — which in years past had also served as a classroom, a wrestling training room and a prep area for track and field.

The ceremony is just the cherry on top of London’s weekend of gold-medal parties. It’s about time, say some social observers, who claim that London’s party scene has been muted during the games, dragged down by economic recession. Britain’s economic gloom means nightclubs and popup venues have had to work to lure athletes and celebrities.

But now, with the near-completion of the wrestling room at the opposite end of the football room, everything is in place for all to enjoy. PPHS football coach Dave Darst — who is preparing for his sixth season at the helm — says this extra addition will greatly aid his program for its upcoming transition to Class AAA. “We had the opportunity to make this building our own when the wrestling team upgraded their facility at the other end of this building. In the past, we’ve generally had to share this building with three or four other sports - but now we have a place of our own,” Darst said. “With the move to Triple-A, we wanted to do something really special for these kids and let them know that we are going to be ready for this move. We feel we’ve made ourselves a Triple-A school and we have given our kids the absolute best in regards to athletics.” The new football additions include updated shower and restroom facilities, as well as carpeted flooring throughout the building. The old locker room — which doubled as a wrestling room — is now entirely dedicated as a weight room and a classroom for the school. The old weight room is now the new locker room, allowing swarms of football players to get ready for either a game or practice without feeling cramped. The building will have air conditioning throughout the place, making a comfortable en- A view of the remodeled weight room at the Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field athletic complex.

New doors and windows were installed to make the building more economical, and a second entrance/exit door was added to the building for game night conveniences. An additional athletic trainer’s facility was also installed for quicker injury treatment on game nights. There are still some planned additions for this football room down the way, but Darst sure is proud of what he now has to work with. And given the community support that has made this a reality, he cannot help but be humbled as progress takes shape. “We still have plans to add a player lounge that can double-up as a meeting room or a winter workout room, which will hopefully make this facility a place that kids will want to spend a considerable amount of time at,” Darst said. “A lot of this work was done by our coaches, and the boosters gave us enough funding to make this project a reality. Most of the people working on this are Point Pleasant grads, so we share the same vision and want to make this something really nice for these kids. “We’re not done with the additions, but we’re getting closer and closer every day … and it’s really nice to see it as it unfolds. And honestly, a lot of the thanks go to the athletic boosters and the Point Pleasant community.” Point Pleasant officially kicks off its 2012 football season on Friday, Aug. 24, when it hosts South Point in a non-conference matchup at 7:30 p.m. Zara Phillips, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and a member of Britain’s silver medal-winning equestrian eventing team, was spotted drinking champagne and dancing shoeless at the club. “I’ve heard it’s not been easy for a lot of venues in London, but we’ve been very lucky,” said Chinawhite club manager James Spallone. He said the venue was designed to be “a safe haven for athletes to let their hair down.” “They are amongst their peers. They know everybody,” he said. Swimmers have not been the only athletes blowing off steam. Cyclist Bradley Wiggins tweeted pictures of himself celebrating with a drink in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral after winning gold in the road race. “Getting wasted,” he tweeted. Another cyclist — 20-yearold Gijs van Hoecke of Belgium — was sent home af- ter photos appeared of him looking very drunk while leaving a London nightclub. Still, that was all prologue to the final weekend’s blowout, which certainly won’t be confined to Olympic athletes. Some of the action will center on national hospitality houses set up by the Dutch, the Russians and the French, among others. A lucky elite, however, will take to the water for a handful of yacht parties. Nearly a dozen of the world’s most luxurious vessels, including the 413foot (126-meter) Octopus, owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, are docked in east London near the Olympic site. “It’s going to be a big party, no doubt,” said Benjamin Sutton, director of communications for “superyacht concierge service” MGMT. “Security is tight.” ‰†�Š‰ ‹� �ŒŠ Ž�‘’“”��“­•‰ ��–†‹�—‚�•†‰ Ž��� ����������������� ��������������������� ����� � �������������� ��� �� � �� � �� ������� �� ������� ���������� �� ���� ����� � ����� ��� ����� �� ����� � �� †�� ��� ��� ���‡ � �� �‡‡‡ ��� ���‚ ˆ ��� �� � Baum Lumber’s Power Store ������������������������ ����� ����­������€� 45996 Pomeroy Pike, Chester, OH ���������������� ‚��������ƒ� � 740-785-3302 • www.baumpowerstore.com �� ���� ��� ������� ����­�������€ ��‚�ƒ�ƒ„�ƒ��ƒ�ƒ„�� � ���� �� � ������ �� �������  �������������€ ����� �� Joe Moore Sarah Evans Moore Hot Tub - $3,895 COLLECTIBLES: NICE SELECTION OF BEAUTIFUL QUILTS, MC.

Putting up a tree stand is hard work when you consider all the steps that are involved. Fortunately there is still time to get out and do some walking or shed a couple of pounds before hunting season. As always, talk to your doctor before you start any serious fitness program. One thing you should do is get out in the woods and visually inspect your hunting areas; your favorite tree stand tree may have blown down, or trees may have fallen across your access roads – especially this year after the big derecho. Of course someone may have put in a new logging road or new house right next to your hunting grounds. There may not be much you can do about the new-found situation, but at least you will be spared an opening morning surprise. With slightly less than a month remaining between now and the beginning of hunting season here in Ohio, and a couple of months until archery season, it is time for hunters to begin gearing up and getting ready to hit the woods this fall. Most hunters have their own pre-season rituals but there are a few things that every hunter should do to get ready to avoid surprises, some of which may even be potentially dangerous, and I’ll cover a couple of those now. On the other hand, if you like surprises and danger, then you can stop reading now. First, honestly ask yourself if you are actually ready to head into the woods or to climb a tree; sedentary lifestyles and poor fitness and dietary habits have a way of interrupting your plans the first time you have to hike into and out of the woods, drag a dead deer, Changes can also alter wildlife travel and resting habits; windfalls may allow more light into the understory creating the opportunity for more undergrowth and vegetation. These are mostly natural changes and create a little diversity of habitat. If you are like most hunters you are probably going to rely on an all-terrain vehicle or utility vehicle to haul you and your hunting equipment into the woods. Most ATVs are very reliable but that doesn’t mean you should neglect basic maintenance like checking or changing your oil, maintaining your tire pressure, checking or replacing your brakes or making other recommended changes and adjustments. The time to find out you have a bad battery is not when you loading or unloading your ride into the back of your pickup truck. A little TLC will help ensure your steed doesn’t let Eight selected to 2012 GAHS Athletic HOF class Staff Report mdsports@heartlandpublications.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Seven former Gallia Academy High School athletes and longtime coach Jim Osborne were nominated for the school’s 11th athletic hall of fame class during the HOF committee meeting in the GAHS cafeteria on Thursday. Nominated were: Coach Osborne, who completed 41 years at the school in 2010; Brenda Wilson, 1975, basketball and volleyball; Dan Beabout, 1954, track, football; Jamie Lane, 1983, basketball; Tom Meadows, 1968, football, baseball and booster; the late Russ Smith, 1955, baseball, football and basketball; Todd Slone, 1986, football, baseball and basketball and Kirk Jackson, 1987, football. The nominees will be introduced prior to the Chillicothe-Gallipolis home football game on Friday, Sept. 28 and be inducted on Saturday, Sept. 29 in the GAHS cafeteria following a banquet catered by the Park Front Café. Honorees will be guests of honor. The committee is seeking to add new members to the group to replace terms that expired recently. Nineteen attended Thursday’s nomination session—Tom Meadows, president; Tom Young, vice president; Randy Finney, secretary; Lora Young, treasurer; Rusty Saunders, immediate past president; Tim Massie, principal; and other committee members Brent Simms, athletic director; Jan Edelmann, boosters club president; committee members John Milhoan, Hobart Wilson, Jr., Jim Osborne, Jimmy Noe, Renee Barnes, Sara Evans-Moore, Karen Sprague, Brent Saunders, Keith McGuire, Jack Payton, and Tom Morgan. you down when you need it the most. If your bow or gun hasn’t been out of the closet since last fall you’ll need to get it out and, first, make sure it is in safe working order, properly cleaned and tuned, sighted in or adjusted. Then invest a little time and ammo in making sure it’s still shooting straight. One thing many aging hunters don’t consider is that their eyes may have changed over the past year, or they have a different glasses prescription or new lenses that drastically change the way things appear through a scope or through sights. In any event, you want to make sure you are capable of making a good shot and a swift, humane kill. Tree stands? Check them out carefully, paying particularly close attention to any weight-bearing straps or cords that may have abraded or rotted during the off season. Practice putting it up, and don’t neglect checking out and adjusting your harness. Don’t forget to purchase your hunting license and any necessary tags! Familiarize yourself with any changes that may have taken place in the game check or licensing systems in your state. Peruse the updated hunting laws and seasons because there may have been changes during the past year. The above is by no means an all-inclusive list of pre-hunting season activities, but they should be at least a good starting point to help make sure you and hunting buddy have a safe and enjoyable season!

Backup quarterback Shaun Hill led two touchdown drives in the first half to put the Lions (No. 11 in the AP Pro 32) ahead 14-3 in the first half. When all of the reserves for both teams took over in the second half, the Browns outscored Detroit 16-3. Jeff Wolfert’s 45-yard field goal with 28 seconds left won it for Cleveland (No. 30) after the Lions stopped Adonis Thomas on a 2-point conversion with 6:05 left to keep the lead, but keep the ball to seal a win. Detroit’s last shot ended when rookie Kellen Moore heaved a pass that was in- tercepted by David Sims at the Cleveland 36 with 34 seconds left. “Regardless of whether or not they count, it is always more fun to win,” Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur said. “I told our guys that, and they made some plays to put us in position to do that.” The banged-up Browns won, but might have another loss on their depleted roster. Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi left the game with a concussion after catching rookie Brandon Weeden’s first pass and didn’t return. “We followed league protocols,” Shurmur said. “When he’s healthy he will play again. Not before that.” Massaquoi was limited the past two seasons because of concussions, including one he had that knocked him out of a game last October. The Lions didn’t risk Stafford getting hurt for very long, allowing him to play less than a quarter. Stafford is coming off a breakout season in which he threw for 5,000-plus yards and 41 TDs while ending the franchise’s 11-year playoff drought. But he was far from spectacular against the Browns. His first drive of the preseason ended when Joe Haden broke up a pass. Stafford seemed to throw a pass early, sensing pressure that didn’t appear to be there, and his pass intended for Brandon Pettigrew was picked off by Sheldon Brown to stop Detroit’s second possession. “I had to cut it loose earlier than I wanted to,” Stafford said. “Pettigrew and I weren’t on the same page.” Stafford provided a flashback to last year, throwing a 27-yard pass to All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson, on his third and final drive that ended quietly at midfield. Hill, who won’t play much if Stafford stays healthy during the regular season, was See BROWNS ‌| B8 BUNDLE & SAVE! ON DIGITAL SERVICES FOR YOUR HOME For conditions treated. For lives made better.

So did the Orlando Magic. A new beginning for both awaits. It took four teams, 11 other players, five draft picks and countless rounds of talks over many months, but finally, the Magic decided the time was right to start over without the NBA’s best center and end a saga that has dogged the franchise for what seems like an eternity. Howard is off to play alongside Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, after a megadeal was worked out Thursday and completed Friday after the NBA reviewed and approved the particulars. “It was just a very tough situation for everybody to let go,” Howard said. “I’m finally glad that it’s over with. Myself and the Magic organization, we can all start over and begin a new career. Today is a fresh new start for all of us.” As far as the other headliners involved, Andrew Bynum leaves the Lakers for Philadelphia and Andre Iguodala is heading to Denver. “Are we taking a step back? Absolutely, we are,” Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “But we’re taking a step back with a vision.” Even while otherwise busy at the London Olympics, Bryant quickly proclaimed that the Lakers are “locked and loaded to bring back the title.” “I told him this is a great place for him,” said Bryant, who talked to Howard on Friday morning. “You talk about all the great centers this team has had. Now he’s the next in line.” Bryant said the Lakers should be poised to win now. The Magic, they might not be saying that for years. After an offseason when the Magic fired coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith, they’re now truly beginning anew. In 1996, the Magic watched Shaquille O’Neal sign as a free agent with the Lakers. Alligator Jack’s Flea Market 740-416-4650 STURDI-BILT STORAGE BUILDINGS 60340803 St. Rt. 7, Pomeroy Open All Year! Friday 10-5 Sat & Sun 9-5 At least this time, when they lost someone with the “Superman” nickname, they got something back. “Next season, and really subsequent seasons, are going to be about getting better every day,” Hennigan said. Orlando got guard Arron Afflalo and forward Al Harrington from Denver, forward Moe Harkless and center Nikola Vucevic from Philadelphia, and forward Josh McRoberts and guard Christian Eyenga from the Lakers. The Lakers acquired Howard, guard Chris Duhon and forward Earl Clark from Orlando. The Magic also traded guard Jason Richardson to Philadelphia. Orlando also gets five draft picks over five years. “There will be no panic,” Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. “There will be no chaos.” The Lakers pulled off the deal and somehow kept Pau Gasol in the process — something many didn’t expect when the Los Angeles first started getting mentioned in the Howard trade mix. “It makes the NBA that much more exciting,” Knicks forward and U.S. Olympian Carmelo Anthony said. Not everyone shared that sentiment. “I really don’t care,” Thunder star Kevin Durant said. The trade was announced during the Spain-Russia semifinal matchup at the Olympics. Gasol scored 16 points, helping the Spanish team reach the gold medal game with a 67-59 win. Afterward, that seemed secondary. He was still with the Lakers, and now has the game’s most dominant big man alongside him. For a moment, gold-medal talk was pushed aside for NBA title chatter. “I think it’s something that puts us in a position of being an extremely powerful team and a team with all the chances of going for the ring again,” Gasol said. The 76ers got involved in trade talks about a month ago, first reaching out to the Magic to inquire about landing Howard themselves. Not long after realizing that wouldn’t happen, the talks grew. And when Denver got involved, the pieces fell into place. “One of the things we needed to do was we needed to get a post presence, a guy who can score on the low block, give us size, rebounding, defense,” said 76ers coach Doug Collins, in London working with NBC as an analyst for Olympic basketball. “We think that Andrew is one of the top two NBA centers in the league, so we’re thrilled about doing that. And we’re sad to lose Andre. He helped us win a lot of games and in the two years that I’ve been with him.” Collins won’t wait long to see Iguodala in another uniform: The Nuggets open the season in Philadelphia on Oct. 31. “The Red Carpet Treatment” Serving SE Ohio & Bend Area Since 1986 Marty O’Bryant Owner 1-888-992-7090 1-740-992-7090 www.redcarpettreatment.org 3 Rooms Sofa, Loveseat Each Additional & Chair Room $3000 Cleaned* Add Hall or Bath* Cleaned* $ 95 $ $ 00 1000 109 149 60342085 * Call Today for Details Scott Strazzante/Chicago Tribune/MCT photo The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard (12), after months of speculation, is reportedly on the move to the Los Angeles Lakers in a fourteam trade on Thursday, August 8, 2012. The other teams involved are the Philadelphia 76ers (who add Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson) and the Denver Nuggets (who add Andre Iguodala). Orlando receives four players and three first-round draft picks. Philadelphia believes it would have a chance to keep Bynum long-term, noting that he’s a native of neighboring New Jersey. “We’ve gotten bigger, we’ve gotten stronger and we’ve gotten more athletic than we were at this time last year,” 76ers President Rod Thorn said. “Andrew is the best center in the East. Anytime you have the best center, it’s a real plus. This is still a game that big men are very, very important in.” For the Lakers to get Howard, they needed to give up the All-Star center — Bynum — they’ve nurtured since he was a 17-year-old draft pick. After two straight second- round exits from the playoffs, the Lakers tore apart a very good team this summer in an attempt to build a great one — a team that can give Bryant, a five-time NBA champion who turns 34 next week, the chance to match Michael Jordan’s six rings next year. The Lakers already made one splash in this offseason, getting Steve Nash from Phoenix. So they got better at point guard, and did the same at center. Owner Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak may have a roster that would rival the NBA champion Miami Heat, Western Conference champ Oklahoma City and the rest of the NBA’s best. 60340848 60342194 60343311 �Sunday, August 12, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B5 OVP Sports Briefs Meigs Middle/High School Golf Team Golf Scramble ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs Middle School and High School Golf Teams are holding a Golf Scramble at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy Ohio on Saturday August 18th.

Other than that, there wasn’t much in his Jets debut. Certainly nothing to spark any mania back in New York. And that goes for the Jets’ new offense as a whole. Tebow had his best moments while scrambling behind reserves on the Jets’ line Friday night. He completed only four passes and threw an interception on his final try during the Cincinnati Bengals’ 17-6 preseason victory. The Jets (No. 17 in the AP Pro32) let their celebrated newcomer play the second quarter and most of the third. He led the Jets to a field goal and completed 4 of 8 passes for 27 yards with one interception, which translated to a passer rating of 18.2. The Bengals (No. 14) got a lot of pressure on Tebow and the rest of the Jets quarterbacks, giving them little time to do much of anything except scramble. “I did some things pretty good,” Tebow said. “Obviously I want that last throw back. I tried to put it low and outside. Just a stupid play by me.” Tebow also ran three times for 34 yards, avoiding sacks each time. “I liked the poise he showed,” coach Rex Ryan said. “Obviously, (he) made some big runs and that’s what we say he can do. If you want to come after him, you better get to him. In time, he’ll kill you running and that’s what he did.” All of the Jets’ quarterbacks ended up moving around as the Bengals’ blitzes threw a few speed bumps into New York’s first game under new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. The Jets didn’t show any of the wildcat-style packages they’ve installed during training camp. “The big plays will come to us,” said Mark Sanchez, who went 4 of 6 for 21 yards in the first quarter. “The running game will get going and things will open up in the passing game. We’re not game-planning for this, so a cou- ple of things caught us off-guard.” The Bengals got a pair of touchdowns from reserve running back Cedric Peerman, who recovered a blocked punt in the end zone and scored on a 1-yard run. The crowd of 44,161 at Paul Brown Stadium booed loudly, and photo flashes went off around the stadium when Tebow jogged onto the field. He got the same reception in 2010, when he made his pro debut in a preseason game with Denver in Cincinnati. That game ended with Tebow leaving a mark. He ran over Kyries Hebert for a 7-yard touchdown scramble on the final play of the game, leaving the safety woozy in the end zone with his mouthpiece on the ground. He rumbled around Paul Brown Stadium again on Friday, though the Jets were more interested in seeing him complete throws. Tebow completed his first pass, a 12-yarder to second-round draft pick Stephen Hill, who’s aiming for a starting spot across from Santonio Holmes. Tebow scrambled twice for a total of 24 yards on a drive to Josh Brown’s 42yard field goal. Tebow started the third quarter and forced a throw that linebacker Vontaze Burfict intercepted. Perhaps his worst moment came after the Jets’ first series on offense, when he forgot that he was supposed to get onto the field and protect the punter — a new role for him in camp. “I thought, ‘Oh, shoot, I’m out there,’ so I just sprinted out there and got out there a few seconds late because for the first time in my life, I was out there on special teams,” he said. “So I’ve got to remember that.” The Bengals’ came away with concerns about three starters lost to injuries. Left guard Travelle Wharton appeared to be the most seriously hurt. He went down while pass blocking on Cincinnati’s third play and was taken off the field on a cart with an injured right knee. Clint Boling replaced him. Wharton signed with the Bengals as a free agent last March. On the next series, middle line- backer Rey Maualuga and defensive end Carlos Dunlap limped off with assistance after hurting their right knees. Maualuga didn’t return, but walked around the sideline freely. The linebacker said after the game that he thinks he’ll be all right. “We’ve got a couple of injuries that we’ll have to deal with,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “I’m not going to elaborate more right now.” The Bengals are looking for an outside receiver to complement Pro Bowler A.J. Green. Armon Binns had a diving 16-yard catch in the second quarter. Brandon Tate stretched for a 14-yard reception later in the same drive. Both receivers finished with two catches for 24 yards. “You can see they’re talented and they’ve got a chip on their shoulders,” Green said. Pro Bowl quarterback Andy Dalton played the first quarter and completed 4 of 9 for 54 yards with a passer rating of 64.1.

Third-string quarterback Seneca Wallace avoided a rush, stepped up and made a 12-yard pass to rookie fullback Brad Smelley to pull Cleveland within four points midway through the third quarter. Backup kicker Derek Dimke’s 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter gave Detroit a 17-10 lead. Thomas ran for a 3-yard score to pull the Browns within a point and their defense got the ball back for fourth-string quarterback Thaddeus Lewis to lead the game-winning drive. The Browns were without rookie running back Trent Richardson, the No. 3 pick in the draft, as expected because he had surgery on his left knee earlier in the week. Weeden was 3 of 9 for 62 yards with an interception and a fumble. “I know my numbers didn’t look good, but I’m not a numbers guy,” said Weeden, the 22nd pick in the NFL draft. “This was my first time out, and there was some good and some bad.” The 22nd pick in the NFL draft ended his first possession as a pro by fumbling, a turnover forced and recovered by Willie Young. Cleveland defensive tackle Scott Paxson (knee), defensive back Dimitri Patterson (ankle) and tight end Jordan Cameron (back) each were injured in the first half. Detroit, meanwhile, seemed to get out of its first of four preseason games relatively healthy. 60340705 Athens: 1-740-594-6632 Monday - Thursday • 9am-7pm / Friday 9am-6pm / Saturday 9am-5pm Closed Sunday Taylor Dealerships is a team of stores in Athens, Ohio.

Livestock Report the world of “The Hobbit.” Jackson is obviously confident that all of this material taken together can sustain three films and hinted in his announcement at what narrative elements will be incorporated to fill out the trilogy. The first installment in the trilogy, subtitled “An Unexpected Journey,” hits theaters Dec. 14, 2012.” If you are interested in reading The Hobbit before viewing the movie release in December, Bossard Library has this book available for you to enjoy. For all book-readers out there, I encourage you to read this book, as well as others, before viewing the film versions, so you will have many of the details of the storyline that may be omitted on-screen. Likewise, for those who do not normally read the book – but instead take in the movie, I encourage you to delve a little deeper into the storyline and enjoy the book. Throughout the years, I have found if helpful to pair the book with the film, particularly when reading the classics, such as Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities. It was by viewing the film, along with reading this classic work, that I gained an understanding of this novel on the French Revolution. Your local library offers thousands and thousands of titles for you to peruse as you make your reading selections. After selecting your book, why not browse our DVD titles – you just may find the accompanying film version. Perhaps you can then decide if that old adage rings true for you, as you answer “is the book better than the movie?” Source: www.cnn.com.

America: a patchwork of potato chip varieties Michele Kayal Associated Press You say potato, I say potah-toe … chip. And that’s just the start of it. Though thin and flat may be the national standard — and bestselling variety — of this ubiquitous snack, regional and sometimes hyper-local preferences for different calibers of crunch, thickness, seasonings and endless other elements have created a surprisingly diverse culinary patchwork of chip styles around the country. That’s right — the chips you nosh in the Northeast could be wildly different than those savored in the South. Midwesterners, for example, prefer a thicker, more substantial chip. Big, hearty chips also sell well in New England and the Rockies, though in the latter area those progressive mountain folk want theirs with artisanal seasonings. Southerners love barbecue flavor, chip industry executives say, but it needs to be sprinkled on thin, melt-inyour-mouth chips. Southwestern states predictably go for bold and spicy. Local flavors — such as New Orleans Cajun and Mid-Atlantic crab seasoning — find their way onto chips in those places. And people all across the country, it seems, love a curly, shattering kettle chip. “People like the potato chip they grew up with,” says Jim McCarthy, chief executive officer at the Rosslyn, Va.-based Snack Food Association, a trade group that represents the many denizens of convenience store shelves. “There’s a very strong brand recognition and brand loyalty to the chip you grew up with.” Potato chips are America’s number one snack, according to the group’s 2012 state of the industry report, and we spent $9 billion on them in 2010, 50 percent more than what we spent on the No. 2 snack, tortilla chips. More than half of those sales go to Plano, Texas-based Frito-Lay North America, whose original thin, crispy chip is the topseller. But hometown styles still claim their territory. In the Pacific Northwest, Seattle’s thick-cut Tim’s Cascade Style offers big bite and bigger flavors, such as jalapeno made from real peppers and a salt and vinegar chip that “makes you pucker” says Dave West, sales director for the company. Over in the Rockies, kettle-cooked Boulder Canyon chips pair their crunchy bite with artisanal seasonings such as red wine vinegar, spinach and artichoke, and balsamic and rosemary. Down the map in the Southwest, Arizona-based Poore Brothers offers two varieties of kettle-cooked chips with mouth-numbing heat from jalapenos and habaneros. “People in this region really tend to like this pepper, these stronger, spicier flavors,” says Steven Sklar, senior vice president of marketing at Phoenix, Ariz.based Inventure Foods Inc., which owns the Boulder Canyon and Poore Brothers brands. “You’ve got a hard bite with a strong flavor. The combination makes a big difference.” While Southerners like spice, industry executives say, the region’s traditional chip is thin and flaky. “The southern consumer prefers a lighter, thinner potato chip,” says Julie McLaughlin, director of marketing at Birmingham, Ala.-based Golden Flake Snack Foods, which makes Golden Flake Thin & Crispy Potato Chips. The company sells across 10 states in the Southeast, McLaughlin says, and its best-selling chip is “Sweet Heat Barbecue,” one of five barbecue varieties it makes. Golden Flake also offers a thick-cut, wavy chip, McLaughlin says, “for the transplants.” And then there are the niche chips, the hyper-local flavors that connect people to their culinary heritage. In New Orleans, Zapp’s makes “Spicy Cajun Crawtaters,” designed to mimic the flavor of a seafood boil. Nottingham, Penn.-based Herr Foods makes a Philly cheesesteak chip, as well as one meant to taste like boardwalk fries. For other Mid-Atlantic producers such as Hanover, Penn.-based Utz Quality Foods and the Mount Jackson, Va.-chippery Route 11 Potato Chips, crab seasoning is must, but may be for locals only. “If you’ve never had a blue crab experience, or been at a crab feast, you’re kind of like, ‘What is this?’” says Sarah Cohen, Route 11 president and co-founder. “If I see somebody ordering a lot of crab and they’re in Kansas City, we’ll call them up to see if they understand what the crab is. Usually they don’t, and they’re thankful that we called.” Advances in potato chip making technology and distribution have flattened what may once have been a much wider variety of regional chip preferences, some analysts and executives say. Potato chip making began in the mid-19th century with mom-and-pop operations in practically any small town with access to potatoes, oil and a kettle to fry them in. Today, the industry uses “chipping potatoes” grown specifically for the purpose, and has developed technology to produce a more uniform chip. Advances in packaging and the emergence of big box chains mean chips now can travel much farther, spreading once local tastes throughout the country. “Through the mass marketers, through Costco and BJs, Walmart, a lot of product that was regional has now become national,” says the Snack Food Association’s McCarthy. “You can find Utz potato chips in California and before you couldn’t.” For sure, standardization and competition from giant producers like Frito-Lay may have squeezed some smaller companies out of business, executives say. But it may be the predominance of those flat, massproduced chips that has also kept regional passions alive. “Trying to compete with the giants out there hasn’t been successful,” says Inventure’s Sklar. “That’s where regional players like Poore Brothers come in with a different product and then regional flavors to enhance that. Going headto-head with Frito-Lay on a flat chip just isn’t going to work.” But even Frito-Lay plays the regional flavors game. The company began experimenting a decade ago with flavors like “Chicago Steakhouse Loaded Baked Potato,” and “San Antonio Salsa.” Today, it offers roughly a dozen specialty flavors such as Wavy Au Gratin in the Midwest, Garden Tomato & Basil in the East, and a thick-cut Deli chip for Colorado. �Sunday, August 12, 2012 Sunday, auguSt 12, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 13, 2012: This year you become more resilient than ever before.

Not a single “he,” his” or “himself” appears. The golden age of the male pronoun was ending. According to a study released Thursday, the “he-she” gap in books — one that has always favored the masculine — has dramatically narrowed since the release of Friedan’s feminist classic. Drawing upon nearly 1.2 million texts in the Google Books archive, three university researchers tracked gender pronouns from 1900 to 2008. The ratio of male to female pronouns was roughly 3.5:1 until 1950, when the gap began to widen as more women stayed home after World War II, and peaked at around 4.5:1 in the mid-1960s. The ratio had shrunk to 3:1 by 1975, and less than 2:1 by 2005. “These trends in language quantify one of the largest, and most rapid, cultural changes ever observed: The incredible increase in women’s status since the late 1960s in the U.S.,” Jean M. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University and author of “Generation Me,” said in a statement. “Those numbers are quite staggering,” says James W. Pennebaker, author of “The Secret Life of Pronouns” and chair of the psychology department at the University of Texas in Austin. “Pronouns are a sign of people paying attention and as women become more present in the workforce, in the media and life in general, people are referring to them more.” During a recent interview, Twenge said that she and her fellow scholars — W. Keith Campbell, who heads the psychology department at the University of Georgia; and one of his students, Brittany Gentile — had been talking about the Google database as a resource for studying gender. They liked the idea of starting at 1900, because pronouns have not changed since “thee” and “thou” fell out of style in the 1800s. Google offers much more information than what was immediately available just a few years ago, Twenge notes, although the material is far from complete; the search engine’s archive contains just 4 percent of all books published in the U.S. since 1800. But Twenge and her colleagues concluded that gender was not a factor in which books Google included. “You have this huge sample, with no biases,” Twenge says. “And you have an agreed upon set of words.” “It seems very comprehen- sive and well done,” Pennebaker says. “There are two types of data, imperfect data and no data. If you’re going to wait around for perfect data, you are going to wait around forever.” From scholarly releases to popular fiction, books by and about women have proliferated in the past half century. Nine of the top 10 books on USA Today’s current best-seller list were written by women and publishers have long believed that more women than men buy books. According to the market researchers Simba Information, around 60 percent of those purchasing books are women. Ex-jail cells serve as artist studios in Detroit DETROIT (AP) — For Hugo Navarro, the 5-by-9-foot jail cell that serves as his studio in southwest Detroit is an admittedly creepy place to immerse himself in his work. Unlike jailhouse artists who find creative inspiration behind bars, however, the 56-year-old is there by choice. He paints at 555 Nonprofit Gallery and Studios, a decade-old arts organization that this year moved into its new home in the Detroit Police Department’s former Third Precinct station. The city closed the building in 2005 as part of a department-wide reorganization, and the former lobby where residents once could walk in to report crimes now is an airy gallery. Detectives’ offices now serve as classroom and studio space. And potentially claustrophobic cells — bars still on their doors — are fostering creativity. “I didn’t really have anything in mind before going to my jail cell,” said Navarro, whose colorful paintings of Detroit’s shuttered Michigan Central Depot and fires gutting homes adorn some of the cells near where he’s worked for the past few months. “I just let myself go and let my inside do the work.” The Third Precinct renovation is among a handful of projects na- tionwide converting old police facilities, including one in Chicago that is becoming live theater venues and one in Philadelphia that is being converted into homes. For Carl Goines, a co-founder of 555, says the project is a balancing act between preserving parts of the police station’s past and making it a welcoming place for artists. “This is a space that’s taking on a new life. It’s a space that’s becoming inspirational,” said Goines, a sculptor. “It pushes them to take their work to a new level.” 555 is leasing its new home from Southwest Housing Solutions, a nonprofit community developer that bought the former precinct in 2009 and spent about $2 million on the project. Garage space at the building houses Detroit Farm and Garden, a gardening, farming and landscape supply store. While Southwest Housing Solutions traditionally is involved in residential projects in southwest Detroit, developing roughly $100 million in housing and real estate, making sure the former precinct didn’t languish as vacancy in one of the city’s stronger neighborhoods made its reuse more important. “It’s exactly what we wanted it to be,” said Tim Thorland, the developer’s executive director. “The great thing about the gallery space is that it’s a continuous work in progress.” In Philadelphia, the former 26th Precinct Police Station, which sat vacant for years, is being renovated with the upper floors as apartments, said architect Victor Barr Jr. of VLBJR Architects Inc. Much of its history as a neighborhood law enforcement hub was erased by time and earlier reuse, but salvaged architectural details are being recreated to bring back some of its character. Arches in the basement, Barr said, mark where cells once stood. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
