The area where the water lines were installed was annexed into Middleport Village many years ago with a promise to the residents that they would be provided with village water and fire protection. An Ohio EPA grant of $192,699 and a zero percent loan of $296,614 to be repaid in bi-annual payments of $4,892 made it possible for the village to proceed. TAM Construction handled the water line extension phase which extended into Leading Creek, Clonch Road, Lagoon Road, and Powell Road of the Hobson area, and the installation of 13 fire hydrants. Six and eight inch water lines were installed. The hydrants put in place are individually designed to produce from 500 to 990 gallons of water per minute. Different colors are used to designate output, according to Faymon Roberts, village administrator. It was noted that while all of the water lines have been laid, some connections to houses remain to be completed. Among those participating in the ribbon cutting ceremony were Mayor Michael Gerlach, Middleport Council members Sandy Brown and Rae Moore; Curtis Strickland, Rural Community Assistance Program, who worked on project funding; Don Hysell, field supervisor for Middleport’s Public Works Department;Kurt Montle, president of TAM Construction; and Debbie Gerlach, president of the Middleport Community Association. A certification of congratulations on completion of the water project was received from Senator Sherrod Brown.

Dear J.M.: What might seem to you to be the most direct and drama-free way to approach this situation — by mentioning something to your friend the next time he offends — actually may backfire on you. If you confront your friend — especially if it’s in front of a group — directly after he says something you see as inappropriate, he’ll likely just turn it around on you and make fun of you or act like you have no sense of humor. It sounds as if that’s not the problem, and that others find him offensive and inappropriate as well, so you can turn to the rest of your friends for help. Talk to your other friends one-onone, apologize for this friend’s crudeness and mention that you’ve seen a better side of him that you’re trying to encourage. Persuade your friends to remain silent the next time he delivers an offensive joke, and this might start to send the signal that not everyone finds him funny. You also can try having a deeper conversation about the issues that come up in his jokes, and help him start to understand why he feels the need to be rude, especially if he knows that it bothers you. Emphasize those parts of his personality that you do appreciate, and remind him that he doesn’t have to go for a shock to make an impression.

Event From Page A1 son (Gallipolis City Commissioner), Steve Marxen, Jimmy Wiseman (former Gallia County Chamber of Commerce president), Shayna Chapman and Mark Ward were the founders of Ohio River Live. They represent a cross section of the community ranging from business leaders to musicians to governmental leaders. “The intent is to provide a fun event here in our town that promotes tourism, possibly bring some people from outside our community … but provide an outlet for our people to able to hear some live music without having to travel,” Wiseman explained when the group was still getting off the ground. According to the committee, one year later, that goal is being realized as the festival continues to grow and the word continues to spread. “We’ve noticed that there have been quite a few out-of-town visitors to our events,” said Marxen, now secretary of the ORL committee. “We are really glad for that [visitors] and for the dedicated local and regional residents who support these events,” said ORL committee president Rick Van Gundy. The third annual Ohio River Live event will feature Elizabeth Cook, who recently graced the David Letterman stage and has performed hundreds of times at the Grand Ole Opry. She owns the stage with a unique blend of Park From Page A1 She was recently nominated for Retro Artist of the Year in the Artists Music Guild and will be attending the award ceremonies at Heritage USA in South Carolina in November. Arnold said she was surprised to be on the list of nominees which included such artists as Dottie Rambo, Barbara Mandrel, Pat Boone and Terri Gibbs, as well as the Cathedral Quartet and The Platters. “What an honor for me just to be on that list with such great artists,” she commented. In October she will be returning to Branson, Mo. to sing for the CGMA award ceremonies. She will be there a week singing with a praise and worship team. Arnold, who writes music and plays guitar as well as sings, became a member of the CGMA in 1998. She markets her own CDs and can be booked for local performances at 740-416-2131. Arnold says she remains “true to gospel” in her singing From Page A1 career. country, bluegrass, mountain music and rock. Making a return to the Ohio Valley for the event after headlining it last year is singer/songwriter Matt King. King wowed a crowd of die-hard music lovers last September, as temperatures soared around 100 degrees. He quickly made a place for himself here in Gallipolis, and comes back again and again. “Your hometown welcomes me like one of its own,” said King in a Friday interview with the Sunday TimesSentinel. “And musically, I feel like the people relate to me there. It’s a special place.” Also performing Saturday are local bands Open Rail and Stillwater. StillWater is a band that was formed in 1992 by the brother duo of Kevin and Kent Jolley. The band’s early beginnings were rooted in classic rock and country, but the brothers decided to broaden their musical scope and incorporate some contemporary rock and heavy metal music into the band’s musical scope. Rusty Ballinger was added as a lead vocalist and the band thrived in the tri-state area. After years of doing their own thing, and with the addition of BJ Rocchi behind the kit, StillWater is planning on doing several reunion shows this year and hopes to rekindle the magic of 20 years ago. Open Rail is a progressive bluegrass band based in Gallipolis, Ohio. In 2010 the band was selected to be the Historical Ariel Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Center’s home band. After a lengthy stint with the Ariel, the band has been focused on performing all over the country. Perry Cardwell plays upright bass. Don Titus plays banjo. Roger Pup Harrison is the lead vocalist and guitarist. John Cardwell provides vocals and mandolin. Brian Ison provides vocals and guitar. “Elizabeth Cook and Matt King, paired with Gallipolis’ own Open Rail and Stillwater will be a truly exceptional show,” said Mark Ward, production manager for Ohio River Live. “We are thrilled to have such an incredible lineup, and I definitely think this is a ‘must-see’ event.” Other performers will include Bill Hawks and Joe Simms. Another notable point about this year’s festival is that the price of admission has been cut in half. “We listened, and we lowered our ticket prices. We’ve heard what the community wanted, and we did that. So come on out! It’s going to be a great show,” said Marxen. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by going to the Ohio River Live web site www.ohioriverlive.com. The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 11:3o p.m. Saturday, September 8. Gates open at 3 p.m. Food, beer and merchandise available for purchase. Bring lawn chairs. No Coolers allowed. ID is required to purchase beer. Kids ages 10 and under are free. Best The five hometowns are selected within the five regions by the editors of Ohio Magazine.

It’s a way for us to tell our story.” According to Hood, representatives with the magazine visited Gallipolis in August — touring the city and attending events in the area — and were happy with what they found. “They were very impressed and very pleased with what they saw here,” Hood said. Hood further stated that editors with the publication will visit the area on several occasions in the coming months, and, in addition to the November issue, Gallipolis will be featured in the upcoming January and July editions of the magazine. Additionally, at a date yet to be announced, an official award presentation will be held and Gallipolis will be presented with an award signifying their status as one of Ohio’s best hometowns — an honor that Hood hopes residents and citizens in the area continue to be proud of and celebrate throughout the year. “Everybody in Ohio is passionate about their own town, everybody is passionate about where they live, and I think this is just an opportunity to show the state what we have,” he said. �Sunday, September 2, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Teaming up to help Submitted photo Local residents Lou and Jeff Martin are pictured with Congressman Bill Johnson and Clerk of Courts Diane Lynch.

I quietly sat in the passenger seat and observed what the officer did during a shift. One of those times was in Gallipolis. It was a great experience to see what challenges local law enforcement face on a daily basis. The experience in Gallipolis was especially interesting because the officer worked with a K-9 unit. Recently, Syracuse Chief Jeff Morris announced that a dog has been donated to the village. This brought back memories. I had the chance to talk with Chief Morris at the Meigs County Fair. He told me about the dog. He could see the clear need to have one in the area. He did not know my background or probably who I am, but I know how much we need a K-9 unit in Meigs County. It is a special bond a K-9 cop (because they are considered cops just like their human partners) and the person who works with them. It involves training for both dog and human. It involves discipline. It involves a great commitment to always be ready when duty calls. I remember watching K-9 check around a car which was suspected of having drugs. I have watched the interaction between students and police when they have come into classrooms for demonstrations. I have seen the difference these wonderful creations of God make. We need this dog, Meigs County. We need this dog trained. We need it. We need it for our children. We need it for our grandchildren. We need it for our fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, sisters, mothers, wives and daughters that put on the uniform with that little metal badge as they go out to protect and serve us everyday. We need this dog for our schools. Our teachers, principals and superintendents need this as they battle the affliction of drugs upon our youth. We need this dog. Many times I have stated we need to stand up for change. Many times I have said we need to not keep silent while evil triumphs. Many times I have said we need make a difference. Well, this is one of those moments. As reported in The Daily Sentinel, Chief Morris is looking for funding to get the K-9 unit going. According to the article by Sarah Hawley, the dog would be “trained in the detection of marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.” Well, let’s make a difference, even if it is five dollars, do something! Skip a cup of coffee or a milkshake, but get the word out and get moving on this! I know times are tough. Think about how tough it is for law enforcement when they know something is up, but they can not do anything about it. That is the moment they will be able to call in the K-9 unit. It is the extra help our men and women in blue need! Get behind it and help make a real difference in our area! If nothing else share this information with a friend that may be able to help! Anything, but let us quit complaining about the problems and get behind the solutions! God did not intend for us to be complainers of the Word or in life, but doers! Donations are being accepted at Home National Bank. Just tell them it is for the “Syracuse Police Department K-9 Fund” and the donations will be accepted at all Home National Bank locations. If you want to mail it in send it to: P.O. Box 457, Racine, Ohio 45771. Seriously, let us stop complaining and do something. The drugs are not going to go away on their on. Stand up and be counted for this worthy cause and let our actions speak of living a life of Grace Out Loud! Carrie Wolfe Racine, Ohio Reader questions school guidelines for attendance Dear Editor, I have a four year old daughter, who has been talking about her first day of preschool for close to five months. Asking every night before bed, “Mommy tomorrow do I get to ride the bus to my new school?” So I completed a sign-up form, mailed it to the Heart of the Valley School and received a phone call back saying they got her form and gave me the days of the week she would attend school, the bus times and date school started. I was told to stop in before that date and fill out a few forms and give all of her information. I returned a phone call to check their hours to go do this, when I was told that due to our family of fives’ income being over “guidelines” our daughter would be put on a waiting list. I didn’t think I understood correctly, but after numerous questions and explanations that I couldn’t believe, our daughter would not get to go to school. Due to the fact that myself and husband work, our child cannot go to school. I’ve contacted the superintendents office, where I was told the same thing. Meigs School district has no preschool. Only this federal and state funded preschool and headstart, that my child cannot attend because her Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. parents have income. I cannot begin to explain to you how hard it is to have to tell your child she cannot go to school. Furthermore, I cannot believe that this is just ignored, and nothing done about it. I have contacted the federal and state levels who handle this, and I will not rest until my daughter is allowed to go to a school. Whether it be preschool or high school, I live in Meigs County District they should provide a school for every child. If they are not, they are failing at their jobs.

Misery in La. as Isaac flooding leaves power out NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Isaac sloshed north into the central U.S. on Friday after flooding stretches of Louisiana and knocking out power, leaving entire waterlogged neighborhoods without lights, air conditioning or clean water. It will be a few days before the soupy brown water recedes and people forced out of flooded neighborhoods can return home. And the damage may not be done. Officials were pumping water from a reservoir to ease the pressure behind an Isaac-stressed dam in Mississippi on the Louisiana border. In Arkansas, power lines were downed and trees knocked over as Isaac moved into the state. The earthen dam on Lake Tangipahoa could unleash a 17-foot flood crest downstream in Louisiana if it were to give way, which prompted evacuations in small towns and rural areas Thursday. Officials released extra water through the dam and were considering punching a hole in it to lower the rain-swollen reservoir. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was headed to Louisiana to tour the damage. Romney scheduled a last-minute visit Friday to Lafitte, La., with Gov. Bobby Jindal. Lafitte was the site of rescue efforts when Isaac’s tidal surge pushed in through the night Wednesday and into Thursday. Shortly after Romney said he would visit Louisiana, White House spokesman Jay Carney announced that President Barack Obama would visit the state Monday to examine water and wind damage from Isaac. New Orleans, spared any major damage, lifted its curfew and returned to its usual liveliness, although it was dampened by heavy humidity. “I have a battery-operated fan. This is the only thing keeping me going,” said Rhyn Pate, a food services worker who sat under the eaves of a porch with other renters, making the best of the circumstances. “And a fly swatter to keep the bugs off me — and the most important thing, insect repellent.” The heat was getting to Marguerite Boudreaux, 85, in Gretna, a suburb of New Orleans. “I have a daughter who is an invalid and then my husband is 90 years old, so he’s slowing down a lot,” she said, red in the face as she stood in the doorway of her house, damp and musky from the lack of air conditioning.

(AP) — Chairman Ben Bernanke made clear Friday that the Federal Reserve will do more to boost the economy because of high U.S. unemployment and an economic recovery that remains “far from satisfactory.” He also argued that the Fed’s moves so far to keep interest rates at record lows and encourage borrowing and spending have helped bolster the economy. Bernanke stopped short of committing the Fed to any specific move, such as another round of bond purchases to lower long-term rates. But in a speech at an annual Fed conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Bernanke said that even with rates at super-lows, the Fed can do more. After Bernanke’s comments were released at 10 a.m. Eastern time, stocks initially gave up most of their earlier gains. But as investors digested the speech, stocks bounced back. By late morning, the Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 100 points. Broader stock indexes also surged. Bernanke noted that further action carries risks but says the Fed can manage them. The Fed “should not rule out” new policies to improve the job market, he said. The most dramatic step the Fed could take would be another round of bond buying. This is known as quantitative easing, or QE. In two rounds of QE, the Fed bought more than $2 trillion of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Many investors have been hoping for a third round — QE3— to be unveiled as soon as the Fed’s next policy meeting in September. In light of Bernanke’s comments Friday, some analysts said that might be a stronger possibility now. “Bernanke has taken a further step along the path to more policy stimulus, most likely a third round of asset purchases (QE3) to be announced at the mid-September FOMC meeting,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. At the same time, the Fed chairman avoided hinting of any one policy move or any timetable. “This is really all he could say,” says Steven Ric- chiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities. “He is not at liberty to promise anything without the (policy) committee’s approval, and there seems to be various opinions on the committee about the best way forward.” In his speech, Bernanke cited studies showing that the Fed’s first two rounds of bond purchases created at least 2 million jobs. “It is important to achieve further progress, particularly in the labor market,” Bernanke said. “The Federal Reserve will provide additional policy accommodation as needed.” That remark echoed what the Fed had said in a statement after its most recent policy meeting, July 31Aug. 1. Since then, some- what stronger economic news had led some analysts to say the Fed might now feel less urgency to act. But Bernanke’s reiteration Friday of the Fed’s readiness to provide more help suggested that his economic outlook remains dim. The U.S. economy is still struggling to grow. It expanded at a tepid 1.7 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the government estimated Wednesday. The minutes of the Fed’s July 31-Aug. 1 policy meeting showed that officials spoke with increased urgency about the need to provide more help for the U.S. economy. The policy committee decided that action “would likely be warranted fairly soon” unless it saw evidence of “a substantial and sustainable strengthening” of the economy. After it meets in mid-September, the Fed’s policy committee will meet once more, in late October, before the November elections. QE3 isn’t the Fed’s only option. It already plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero through late 2014 unless the economy improves. It could settle for extending that pledge into 2015. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, is among those who think the Fed will extend its timetable for record-low rates into 2015 at the September policy meeting. And unless the economy improves, Zandi expects the Fed to launch another round of bond purchases after the election. Bernanke’s comments Friday made clear that the economy has a long way back to full health. “Unless the economy begins to grow more quickly than it has recently, the unemployment rate is likely to remain far above levels consistent with maximum employment for some time,” he said. At the end of every August, economists and central bankers convene in the Rocky Mountains at a symposium organized by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. They present papers and argue about economic issues. But mostly, they wait to see what the Fed chairman has to say. In August 2010, Bernanke hinted during his remarks at Jackson Hole that the Fed might begin a second round of bond purchases, a policy called quantitative easing, or QE2. The Fed started buying bonds three months later. Many analysts think a third round of bond purchases — QE3 — would include both Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities.

They’re all costly to taxpayers and the next president presumably will have to address them to one degree or another. Yet GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney made no mention of those issues Thursday in his wide-ranging acceptance speech that closed the Republican National Convention. The address was Romney’s most sweeping attempt yet to outline the case for his candidacy. It was no time to get into the nitty-gritty of federal budgeting and solutions to the nation’s ills. But Romney did find ways to talk about an array of other issues, some of them sensitive for him personally and politically. Romney did, for example, pledge to “protect the sanctity of life,” a reference to abortion, even though there are clear differences on the issue between him and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. He referred to his family as Mormons, a rarity for a candidate who typically refers to his religion as “my faith.” And Romney even showed emotion, which he seldom does in public, when he spoke of longing to wake up again with a pile of children in the bedroom he shares with wife Ann. But there was much Romney did not say, areas he didn’t address. And those unmentioned topics say a lot about the challenges that face the Republican ticket in the final three months of the presidential campaign. Democrats were quick to point out the omissions. “Thursday was Mitt Romney’s big night to tell America his plans for moving forward, yet he chose not to,” the Obama campaign said in a web video Friday. “When you learn about the Romney plan, is it any wonder he doesn’t have much to say.” Here are some examples and some clues about why Romney may have chosen to skip them: —WHAT TO DO ABOUT WAR. Polls show that most Americans want to get American troops out of the costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and President Barack Obama is generally seen as a president who is doing just that. Obama began drawing down the force with a plan to have all out by the end of 2014. While Romney has occasionally criticized Obama for signaling when the drawdown in Afghanistan would happen, he also has endorsed the 2014 end to U.S. combat in Afghanistan, subject to conditions at the time. Romney has criticized Obama’s withdrawal plan but offered few details about how he would change it. —GOVERNMENT AID: On Social Security, Romney has not talked specifics about what we would do with these budget-busting entitlement programs other than to say he would gradually raise the retirement age on the massive program for aid to seniors. He generally has steered clear of proposals to touch Medicare and Social Security in the short run, which leaves a relatively limited portion of the $3.6 trillion federal budget to cut. His addition of Ryan has caused Romney a headache as Democrats seek to make him own Ryan’s budget proposals that call for Social Security benefits based on workers’ needs and optional private alternatives to Medicare. —ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: It’s a touchy subject for both Romney and the Republican Party. Challenged on the right during the primary season, Romney struck a tougher stance on the issue than he had in the past. He emphasized his support for a U.S.-Mexico border fence and his opposition to education benefits to illegal immigrants, sometimes in sharp tones that caused some Hispanics to turn away. That’s potentially problematic because Republicans are trying to narrow the advantage Democrats have among Hispanics, the nation’s fastest-growing ethnic minority group. It represents large chunks of the voters in swing states like Florida and Colorado. Some 12.2 million Hispanics are expected to vote in November. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sports SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2012 mdsports@heartlandpublications.com INSIDE Point Pleasant tears up Tolsia Rebels, 40-2 Page B3 Tornadoes hold off late South Gallia charge By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications. com Alex Hawley | Times-Sentinel RACINE, Ohio — Turnovers can prove vital in the outcome of any game. Such was the case on Friday evening as the Southern Tornadoes (1-1, 1-0 TVC Hocking) held off a rally from the visiting South Gallia Rebels (0-2, 0-1) to score their first win of the 2012 season. A combined five lost fumbles and three interceptions proved to be the difference maker in the TVC Hocking contest at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field. The hosts took the open- ing kickoff, taking nine plays to put six points on the board. A drive of an opening pass play followed by 10 rushing plays, was capped off with a three yard touchdown run by Tyler Barton. The extra point kick failed, leaving Southern with a 6-0 lead less then five minutes into the game. After a four and out by the Rebels, Southern took possession at the own 24 yard line. Three plays into the drive, quarterback Tristen Wolfe’s pass was intercepted by the Rebels Seth Carpenter. South Gallia took advantage of the turnover, marching down field to tie the game. Ethan Spurlock scored on a six yard touchdown run. The two point conversion failed, leaving the score tied at six with 1:44 remaining in the first quarter. The game would not remain tied for long, as Southern took six plays to put an additional six points on the board. Wolfe hit Trenton Deem for the 54 yard touchdown reception 12 seconds into the second quarter. South Gallia appeared ready for its second scoring drive, but two consecutive penalties brought back what would have been first down runs. A fumble just past midfield was recovered by Southern’s Paul Ramthun to give Southern the ball. Neither team would reach the end zone again in the first half, leaving the hosts with a 12-6 lead at the half. Each team moved the ball into the other team’s territory with turnovers late in the have ending drives for both teams. Jacob White recovered a fumble for the Rebels, while Wolfe intercepted the Ethan Spurlock pass. Back-to-back series to open the second have resulted in punts, before the Rebels started a long march See TORNADOES ‌| B2 Eastern quarterback Joey Scowden (left) runs the ball past Miller’s Garrett Sinift (right) during the first quarter of Friday night’s 47-6 Eagles win in Meigs County. Eagles soar past Miller, 47-6 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern football team came out firing on all cylinders Friday night as it went up 21-0 after the first quarter and never looked back. The Eagles went on to win 47-6 over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Miller in Meigs County. Eastern (1-1, 1-0 TVC Hocking) wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as Joey Scowden took the first play from scrimmage 65 yards to the end zone on the quarterback keeper. After forcing the Falcons into a three-and-0ut EHS put a 63 yard, eight-play, drive together capped off by a six yard touchdown pass from Joey Scowden to Ethan Nottingham. The Falcons began their next drive on the 30 yard line and managed a first down before getting intercepted by Eastern’s Alex Amos. The interception set the Eagles up in prime position to get back in the end zone. Nottingham broke a 24 yard touchdown run on the fourth play of the drive, giving EHS the 21-0 lead. The Eagles defense again allowed just one first down to the opposition before forcing a turnover, and for the fourth consecutive drive EHS found pay dirt. This time it was Chase Cook receiving the five yard pass from Joey Scowden that gave the Eagles the score, and after the fourth consecutive extra point made by Max Carnahan, the 28-0 lead. Miller began driving down the field when Zach Scowden intercepted a pass from quarterback Garrett Sinift and took it 44 yards the other way for the touchdown. The point after attempt was blocked by the Falcons and Eastern held a 34-0 lead. Eastern’s Ross Keller recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and it looked like the Eagles would find the end zone again. However the Falcons’ defense stepped up and forced EHS to punt. Neither team could manage to find the end zone the rest of the half and the Eagles went into the locker room with a 34-0 lead. Miller received the ball after the half and quickly gained a first down. The Falcons were driving deep into EHS territory when Amos stripped the ball from the MHS runner and recovered it. The Eagles drove 65 yards in five plays and Nottingham capped it off with a seven yard touchdown run. Carnahan made the extra point to give The Eagles the 41-0 advantage. EHS forced Miller into a three-and-out and regained control on the Falcons’ 46 yard line. An eight-play drive capped off by a four yard touchdown run by Joey Scowden. The point after attempt failed and EHS led 49-0 at the end of the third quarter. Miller began it’s drive on its own 42 yard line and put together its first scoring drive of the night. Running back Kalib McKinnis punched it in from four yards away to give the Falcons six points. Neither Eastern nor Miller were able to find the end zone despite both having lengthy drives and Eastern took the 47-6 victory. Eastern held a 18 to 12 advantage in first downs on the night, as well as holding a 418-192 advantage in total yards.

White Falcons whip Trimble, 25-12 Gary Clark Special to OVP GLOUSTER, Ohio — Kane Roush led the Wahama White Falcons to a hard fought 25-12 gridiron win over host Trimble Friday night before an overflow crowd at the Athens County School. The win boosted the Falcons 2012 football slate to 2-0 on the season in addition to giving the Bend Area eleven a 1-0 Tri-Valley Conference record. Wahama has now claimed 22 straight regular season wins and is undefeated in league action with 17 consecutive victories. Roush scored on an exciting 51 yard run late in the third quarter to give the Bend Area team an 18-6 lead and finished the evening as the games leading ground gainer with 76 yards in eight carries.

The host Blue Angels (3-0, 1-0 SEOAL) stormed out to leads of 1-0 and 2-1 in the match, but the Lady Warriors countered with terback Trenton Gibbs enjoyed another tremendous night offensively by completing six of 11 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Gibbs tossed a first quarter 23 yard touchdown strike to Crandale Neal to open the nights scoring activity before adding a 71 yard bomb to Wyatt Zuspan in the final period. Wahama also received stellar play from its interior line. Trimble ran out a starting front five that averaged 250 yards per man and the small White Falcon contingent captured the battle in the trenches. Junior Zack Killingsworth, Wesley Harrison, Josh Haddox, Tyler Nutter and Lane Sparks all performed admirably in the WHS victory. The Bend Area team jumped out to an early 6-0 advantage in the opening quarter after taking advantage of an early gamble by the Tomcats. Trimble took the opening kickoff and moved to its own 42 yard line where they faced a fourth and one situation. The Tomcats elected to go for the first down and the interior line of Wahama came up with a huge stop to give the Falcons great field position. Following a 15 yard run by Roush and a three yard loss Gibbs connect- ed with Roush on a seven yard pass play. Gibbs scrambled to the right on the following play before finding Crandale Neal all alone in the end zone for a 23 yard scoring toss. The PAT was blocked and Wahama led by a 6-0 margin with 8:08 to play in the first quarter. Penalties hampered WHS throughout the remainder of the half which led to Trimble wrestling the momentum from the White Falcons. The Tomcats took advantage of a 15 yard WHS penalty and drove 41 yards in four plays with Konner Standley tossing a 36 yard pass to Wyatt Deak to set up a two yard Jacob Kish TD burst. The point after kick was blocked and the score remained 6-6 with 3:01 left in the half. The beginning of the second half saw Roush return the kickoff 55 yards to the Trimble 38 yard line. 11 running plays and nearly seven minutes later Zach Wamsley bulled his way into the end zone from less than a yard out on fourth down to put Wahama in the lead for good.

After both teams traded possessions to start the second half, the Hornets drove the proverbial nail into the coffin with its second drive of the third quarter. Kendall Bradley scored on a 22yard run with 4:47 remaining in the canto, capping an 8-play, 55yard scoring drive that resulted in the guests’ biggest lead of the night at 21-0.

Dylan Saunders added the successful PAT kick to make it a 21-7 contest, but the hosts never came closer the rest of the way.

The Blue Devils (1-1) — playing in front of the home crowd for the first time this season — found themselves in a scoreless tie throughout most of the first half. That is, until a pair of lucky breaks went the way of the Hornets (2-0) in the final three minutes before halftime. Licking Heights managed only one first down through roughly 21 minutes of play, and then the flood gates opened. Facing a third-and-14 at its own 29, Hornets quarterback Taylor Curtiss zipped a short pass outside to David Lancaster just in front of a GAHS defender. Lancaster managed to haul in the pass, break a tackle, and sprinted 71 yards down the left sideline for an early 7-0 LHHS advantage. That touchdown capped a 3-play, 67-yard scoring drive with just 2:32 remaining until halftime. Gallia Academy was forced to punt with less than a minute left on its ensuing drive, but Jake Foley rumbled 49 yards on the punt return — giving LHHS a firstand-10 at the Blue Devils’ 16-yard line with 35.8 seconds left until intermission.

The locals mustered 260 yards of offense on the night. It was a balanced effort with 160 yards rushing and 100 yards passing. The Big Blacks defense gave up 125 yards on the night – 121 yards on the ground and just 4 yards passing. Senior running back Tylun Campbell was the big performer on the night with 10 carries for 114 yards including a 77 yard run in the third quarter. Sophomore Aden Yates – making his second career start – finished the night 8 of 11 passing for 100 yards on the nose. Yates’ leading receiver was senior Anthony Perry with 2 catches for 46 yards, both touchdowns. Perry – who has been a significant member of the varsity basketball team the last two seasons – decided to come out for football his senior season and has continued to have a big impact. He had two touchdowns on offense – both receiving – and also had 58 yard interception return. The Tolsia Rebels received the opening kickoff and had their most successful drive of the night right away. The drive took up over half of the first quarter and drove the Rebels deep into Big Blacks territory. Point broke up a pass on 4th down from the 17 yard line and finally gave their offense the ball. Aden Yates connected with junior tight end Brycen Reymond on the first play of the game for a 13 yard hookup. After runs from junior Teran Barnitz, senior Tylun Campbell, and junior Marquez Griffin, a fumble on a reception inside the Rebels 20 yard line gave Tolsia the ball back. After the initial drive, the Big Blacks defense stiffened up and forced a quick three and out. Point then turned around and had a three and out on their second offensive possession. Both teams would trade offensive possessions again before Tolsia would take over on their own 12 yard line. A fumble would ensue on that possession – letting Point have the ball on the Tolsia 28 yard line. It didn’t take long for the Big Blacks offense to finally score their first touchdown. Tylun Campbell found the endzone on the fourth play of the drive from 3 yards out. Junior Colin Peal connected on the extra point to give Point the lead 7-0. The Big Blacks would have another big play on the next drive when junior lineman Luke Halstead forced a fumble that was believed to be recovered by Anthony Perry. Six plays later, it was junior Chase Walton finding the end-zone for the touchdown. The Peal kick would be good again. On the next kickoff, Tolsia had a nice return going when junior Austen Toler forced a big fumble and placekicker Colin Peal – all 5’4, 120 pounds of him – recovered the ball for the Big Blacks. A big scramble from Aden Yates early in the drive helped set Point up deep and helped him connect with Anthony Perry for a passing touchdown. The kick was no good – setting the score at 20-0 at the half. It was an ugly start to the second half – several penalties for the Big Blacks and a lost ball deep that resulted in the lone Tolsia score of the night, a safety. The next Tolsia possession began at their own 39 yard line and had them driving into Big Blacks territory when senior Kodi Stranahan forced a fumble and fellow senior Conner Templeton recovered. One play later, it was Tylun Campbell running down the sideline for a 77 yard score. The kick from Peal was good. The next Tolsia drive saw several nice defensive plays – one from Walton, one from sophomore Gage Buskirk, and the most notable – a 58 yard interception touchdown return from Anthony Perry. Tolsia went three and out on the next possession and Point came up with another score when Yates connected with Chase Walton in the end-zone, only to see Walton fumble the ball in the air and the ball bounced into Perry’s hands for his third score of the night. The extra point was no good. The next Tolsia drive was stalled when senior defensive lineman Conner Templeton had a big sack that halted the drive to put the game away for good. The rest of the game ended with each team putting in their second units and running the clock out. Despite the occasional lapses, the defensive played strong at times and had several strong performances. Senior Andrew Williamson, senior Hunter Bellamy, senior Anthony Perry, senior Conner Templeton, junior Levi Russell, and several others had good nights. For the Big Blacks next week, it will be another road test as they travel for the first ever meeting between Point Pleasant and Lewis County. Game time is set for the usual 7:30 p.m. start. Devils 3rd at home SEOAL golf match Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com Alex Hawley | Times-Sentinel Meigs senior Treay McKinney (left) putts on the second green at Kountry Hills Tuesday night, while teammate Taylor Rowe waits to putt, during a TVC Ohio victory over Athens. Meigs beat Bulldogs at Kountry Hills Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY, Ohio — That’s team consistency. The Meigs boys golf team counted four 46’s Thursday night to take the 184-187 victory over visiting Athens at Kountry Hills Golf Course. The match was contested under the play six, count four format and was a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division match-up. Treay McKinney, Taylor Rowe, Derik Hill and Gage Gilkey all shot a 46 making up the Marauders 184 total. David Daivs (52) and Chris Folmer (54) both played for MHS but didn’t contribute toward the team total. Earning co-medalist honors for the match were Athens’ Jake Pratt and Michael Frame, who each recorded a 41. Adam Cutright shot a 50 and Charlie Beetem shot a 55 to round out the AHS scoring. Zach Shrivers (64) and Ryan McCarthy (69) both played for Athens but did not contribute toward the team total. GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The road to a repeat took a nasty turn at home. Gallia Academy suffered its worst league finish in two years Thursday night after placing third overall at the fifth Southeastern Ohio Athletic League golf match of the season held at Cliffside Golf Course in the Old French City. The defending-champion Blue Devils — fresh off their first SEOAL match win of 2012 — finished nine shots off the pace fired by both Warren and Logan, who initially finished the contest with identical team scores. Both the Chieftains and Warriors posted matching low rounds of 160, while GAHS ended its day with a 169. Due to the tie atop the team scoring, the fifth-best score from each squad was to determine the difference — except both rounds were identical efforts of 48. In the end, each team’s lowest round was used for a second tiebreaker, which ultimately went in favor of Warren. With the win, the Warriors improved to 23-2 in league play and reclaimed a three-win edge over second place Gallia Academy, which fell to 20-5 overall in the SEOAL. Logan currently sits third overall with a 16-9 league mark, with the final SEOAL match slated for Thursday at Franklin Valley Golf Club in Jackson. Rob Canady led the Blue Devils with a 2-over par round of 38, followed by matching 43s from Dares Hamid and Brady Curry. Bruce Moreaux completed the hosts’ scoring with a 45, while Zach Graham and Sean Saltzgaber added respective efforts of 49 and 53. GAHS had four birdies on the day, including a pair from Canady. Zach McKenna led the Warriors with a 38, followed by Adam Lang with 40 and a pair of 41s from Steve Farley and Michael Sams. Reece Patton shot a 48 as the fifth scorer, while Alex Flesher won the second tiebreaker with a 52. Logan Holbrook led LHS with a medalist round of even par 36, followed by Tristan Myers with 39 and Jacob Barstow with 40. Nick Wyrick shot a 45 and Graham Keynes added a 48, followed by Parker Keynes with a 57. Jackson (7-18) was fourth overall with a team tally of 172, followed by Portsmouth (9-16) with 185 and Chillicothe (0-25) with a 189. Evan Massie led the Ironmen with a 40, while Brandon Jones paced the Trojans with a 45. Gabe Preston was the top Cavalier with an effort of 40. With one match left, Gallia Academy would have to win at Jackson and also have Warren finish at least fourth to clinch a share of its second SEOAL golf title. The Blue Devils and the Warriors are the only two squads that can win the 2012 crown headed into the Apple City next week.

The screech owl itself is occasionally preyed upon by Ohio’s larger owls. The Eastern Screech Owl breeds in February and March and the female lays a clutch of 3-8 eggs that takes from 26-34 days to incubate, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. The young fledge about four weeks after hatching, and are independent in about 8-to-10 weeks. The owls nest in a natural cavity or in man-made boxes. They are reported to be aggressive near the nest, even swooping down and striking people on the head if they venture too close to the nest. Landowners can invite the Eastern Screech Owl by installing nest boxes in the appropriate habitat. The preferred habitat for screech owl boxes is near the edges of deciduous forests near fields and wetland. Boxes should be placed at least 10 feet high, and can be placed on a metal pole with a predator guard to keep squirrels out. Plans can easily be found online, but the general dimensions are 8-by-8 inches and 12-15 inches high with a 3-inch entry hole. I feel it is safe to say that over the years there have been more than a few faint-hearted, young backyard adventurers sent running scared back to the house by a “ghost” or “mountain lion” after a screech owl has opened up nearby. In The Open Often heard but rarely seen, the Eastern Screech Owl The other evening, after sunset and before it was totally dark, twilight, I was standing outside of the house and heard, far off in the distance, the unmistakable sound of one of our most common owls: the Eastern Screech Owl. For the uninitiated, the eastern screech owl has a very eerie, spooky sound. I have heard it compared to a horse whinnying or to a woman crying. In my opinion, when I hear people talk about hearing “wildcats” crying in the woods, I wonder if what they were really hearing was the sound of a screech owl in full song. The screech owl, technically the Eastern Screech Owl, or Megascops asio, is likely Ohio’s most common resident owl and probably my favorite. They can be found in small towns, parks and woodlots throughout the state. Like most owls, they are heard more than they are seen. Its call is often called a “trill” or a “whinny.” It is substantially smaller than most other owl species namely the Greathorned Owl or Barred Owl, but it is not the smallest owl in Ohio. That distinction goes to the tiny Saw-whet Owl. If you do happen to see a screech owl - probably nestled close to the trunk of a tree - you’ll note its small size and prominent ear tufts or “horns,” and its large, yellow eyes. They are generally mottled gray or red in Ohio. They might be fairly small and cute to look at, but they are birds of prey and use their razor-sharp talons and Wahama Athletic HOF meeting MASON, W.Va. — The Wahama Athletic Hall of Fame Board of Trustees will be conducting an important meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, at Riverside Golf Club.

AT RIGHT, Aged cheeses must hang out in the cold for at least two months. C1 Submitted by Shaena Mallet Laurel Valley Creamery Small family farm thrives in Gallia County, hopes to inspire others Agnes Hapka Special to the Sunday Times-Sentinel GALLIPOLIS — Nick and Celeste Nolan are dedicated to the idea that not only can their family farm flourish here in Gallia County, but that it doesn’t have to be unique in its success. “I was raised under the paradigm that to do well you had to move away from this area,” Nick remembered. “But this land is so fertile and rich; people have the capacity to grow their own food here. We all have a lot to gain from being more connected to the food we eat. And it’s not some arcane idea that you can be successful at farming in this area.” However, the Nolans know that times have changed for family farms, and small farmers have had to adapt to an increasingly global food market. “People have become disconnected from the food they buy,” Nick noted, “and disconnected from the political and economic ramifications of buying food that is available globally. Lower cost mass-produced food is a false concept. You’re getting less for your money.” Nick’s origins are in Gallia County. “Nick’s grandparents moved here in 1947 from Boone County, West Virginia,” Celeste said. “They started dairy farming then and raised four kids. When Nick was a kid, there were over 150 dairy farms in Gallia County. Now there are eight. It was a thriving community.” “This area is perfect for dairy farming, but it has become harder to make money as a small farmer; there’s always a middle man. For every dollar you spend at the grocery store, only around 25 cents comes back to the farmer. So, I can see why those farmers went out of business. That’s why we started making cheese and selling it directly to our customers.” In 2001 after the Nolans got married, they bought a part of the farm. The plan was to build a new house while living in the farm house. At that time, Nick worked for General Mills in Wellston as a project engineer, but his job was outsourced in 2005, according to the couple. That was about three weeks after the birth of Gus, the Nolans’ second child. “He had severance pay for six months,” Celeste said, “and in November of that year we started milking cows; we had the infrastructure for it. We sold milk wholesale and milk prices were bad for us — between 12 and 20 dollars for a hundred pounds of milk. We figured out that it is more profitable to turn the milk into cheese.” The Nolans produce about 450 pounds of cheese per week, by milking around 20 cows, selling the cheese across the region in Athens, Columbus, Huntington and Cleveland. In Gallipolis, the cheese is carried by downtown Foodland and Merry Family Winery, and Celeste may be found at the farmer’s market most Saturday mornings starting in June and ending in October each year. “We make Mozzarella, Gruyere, fresh cheddar curds in various flavors, mature cheddar, pepper jack, Cora and Jersey Drover,” Celeste said. “I make cheese three days a week, both pasteurized and raw milk variety. Any of the fresh cheeses are made from pasteurized milk. The aged cheese is aged a minimum of two months. The pepper jack is made with local peppers. “We move milk from the milk house to the cheese house, which is about 600 feet.

Why read the fine print when booking hotels? NEW YORK (AP) — The next time you book a hotel room, read the fine print first. New fees and novel freebies continue to pop up on hotel bills. Knowing what’s included — and what you’re willing to pay for — can make a big difference when it comes time to settle the bill. More hotels are now charging for in-room internet access while others are providing free computers in the lobby, coffee in the room and even breakfast. Some downtown hotels have gone so far as to add airport shuttles, aiming to steal business from properties closer to the terminal. Often, budget hotels include more freebies while higher-end lodgings offer fewer. Five-star lodgings “feel their customers can pay for it. They’re either on an expense account or have the wherewithal with disposable income,” says Joseph A. McInerney, president of the American Hotel and Lodging Association, the industry’s trade group. The findings are part of a survey by travel research firm STR on behalf of the lodging association. STR contacted the 52,155 hotels in America and heard back from 23 percent. One of the biggest growth areas in fees is in-room internet access: 23 percent of hotels now charge for the service, up from just 15 percent four years ago. If you don’t want to pay for internet, go to the lobby. That’s where a whopping 78 percent of hotels — mostly upscale ones — offer complimentary internet access on computers. This trend started in 2008 with Sheraton hotels, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., and has spread to most competitors, says McInerney. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but breakfast is another matter. Some 79 percent of hotels now offer complimentary breakfast. At midscale chains, that number jumps to 97 percent. Vegetarians, however, are out of luck. Only 35 percent of hotels offer meat-free menu choices, down from 48 percent in 2008. Want to work off that breakfast? Most hotels have some type of fitness room — 84 percent overall and 95 percent for midscale hotels and higher. However, while gyms are increasingly common, more properties charge for their use. About 25 percent now assess some type of fee. Other findings from the hotel survey include: — 33 percent have at least one employee dedicated to managing social media. — 45 percent have highdefinition TVs in rooms, down from 50 percent in 2010. — 73 percent offer a microwave in rooms. — 96 percent offer inroom coffee makers. — 31 percent have a safe in the room but that jumps to 88 percent in the luxury market. — 63 percent have designated all of their rooms as non-smoking. In the economy bracket, that falls to 39 percent. — 23 percent offer a mobile app. But don’t expect to do much more than book a room with your phone. Only 3 percent said they allow the use of mobile devices to check-in. Barely any hotels — 1 percent — said guests can use phones as room keys. — 61 percent allow pets, mostly in the midscale and economy properties. There was a drop in fees for keeping a pet. Only 42 percent charge for it, down from 46 percent two years ago. — 76 percent offer a free newspaper to guests. That’s an 8 percent increase from 2010. Do we have you attention now?

(AP) — As Lisa Wolfe drove home from a frustrating day at work, Ann Romney’s voice blared over her car radio. Every word of Mrs. Romney’s speech to the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night made Wolfe angrier. “She just kept saying, ‘Trust him!’ And I’m like, ‘I want to, but speak to me intelligently. Tell me more about his solutions, not that other stuff I don’t want to know,” said Wolfe, 54, a Phoenix-area single mother who’s leaning toward voting for President Barack Obama for a second time. And what, precisely, was “that other stuff”? A selection of intimate scenes that the wife of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney chose to make public ahead of the long-awaited speech in Tampa, in which she honored her four-decade-long marriage. The time Mitt crawled into bed and curled up with his wife when, in 1998, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and became depressed. Several miscarriages. Craig Romney’s wrenching grief over one of his mother’s pregnancies when it ended after four months, a scene that apparently was news even to Mitt Romney as his wife related it in a TV interview. In the post-Oprah era of reality shows and TMI, Ann Romney communicates with a level of candor never seen from the spouse of a president or a man who might someday be one, experts say. “The reproductive aspect is unprecedented,” said Catherine Allgor, a history professor at the University of California Riverside who specializes in the roles of first ladies. “The use of the miscarriages, especially, shows that her handlers quite correctly understand how far they have to go to make (sure) this man, this woman, this family, is relatable.” Rather than draw inviolate lines between public and private life or merely invite the public in, Ann Romney has brought the details to American voters just when her husband is struggling to convince undecided voters that, despite dizzying wealth, he is concerned about the average Joe — or in 2012, Josette. All of that sharing sat just fine with Vicki Sciolaro and Arlene Krings, a pair of GOP delegates from Kansas who were in the hall Tuesday night when Ann Romney delivered her longawaited speech. The arena was packed to the balloons hanging from nets overhead, the audience riveted in silence by the lady in red when they weren’t on their feet cheering. “She really made me feel better,” said Sciolaro, 51, mother of four and the wife of a heart surgeon who has had to close some offices due to the recession. The speech “didn’t just humanize her,” Sciolaro added. “It made her more like us.” “I don’t think that middle America is uncomfortable with it,” Krings, who said she is over 65, said of Ann Romney’s revelations. “We’re not as stoic as people say. We like to see that the Romneys are real people too.” Out in Arizona, the intimate lead-up to the speech spoiled it for Wolfe. “It creeps me out,” Wolfe said of Romney’s sharing. “I don’t want to hear the intimate details of anyone’s life, unless it’s my best friends’ or my family’s.” Oversharing is a risk of intimacy politics, a mainstay of American electioneering for candidates trying to control their images in voters’ minds. For voters trying to assess who is behind the microphone, aspiring to represent them in Washington or Albany or Atlanta, the information revealed is a critical part of the process. For the candidates and their spouses, though, the light shone into the sanctuaries of their family lives can be uncomfortable, even painful. �Sunday, September 2, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Sunday, September 2, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s 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, Sept. 3, 2012: This year you will develop a key relationship, if you do not have one already.

It’s unworthy of him.” Eastwood carried on a kooky, long-winded conversation with an imaginary President Barack Obama, telling him that he failed to deliver on his promises, and it’s time for Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to take over. “Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you have made when you were running for election, and how do you handle them? I mean, what do you say to people?” he said at one point to the empty chair. Twitter was instantly ablaze with comments mocking the Oscar-winning director of “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby.” “Clint has now eclipsed the total word count of his last three films,” tweeted film critic Richard Roeper during the speech, which was intended to last five minutes but went on for nearly 12. Howard Kurtz, host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” said “Clint’s empty chair act” was the “weirdest convention moment I have ever seen.” Joe Scarborough, the conservative host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” declared that “a great night for Mitt Romney just got sidetracked by Clint Eastwood.” Minutes after Eastwood began his speech, someone created an (at)InvisibleObama account on Twitter. It has already amassed 30,000 followers and counting. “I heard that Clint Eastwood was channeling me at the RNC,” tweeted comic actor Bob Newhart, known for his one-sided conversation bits. “My lawyers and I are drafting our lawsuit.” The 82-year-old actor and director also talked about Oprah Winfrey, Obama’s unfulfilled promise to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and lawyers. At one point, he referenced dismissing Obama and making a change. “When somebody doesn’t do the job, you gotta let ‘em go,” Eastwood said. The tough-guy actor of “Dirty Harry” fame then drew a finger across his throat. The Obama campaign shot back afterward by tweeting a photo of the back of the president’s chair, with Obama’s head peeking over it, along with the line: “This seat’s taken.” Romney’s wife, Ann, said she appreciates Eastwood’s support, even if the actor’s monologue isn’t earning rave reviews. Ann Romney said she did not know what to expect when Eastwood came on as a warm up act for the evening’s speakers. “He’s a unique guy and he did a unique thing last night,” she told “CBS This Morning.” Eastwood, a fiscal conservative who takes left-leaning stands on social issues such as gay marriage and environmental protections, made waves with conservatives earlier this year when he starred in a Super Bowl spot for Chrysler, a company that benefited from government support. Eastwood, who endorsed Romney earlier this month at a campaign event in Sun Valley, Idaho, and once served as mayor of Carmel, Calif., defended his appearance in the commercial, noting it had nothing to do with his politics. Inside the convention, the crowd cheered Eastwood’s entrance and shouted his famed catchphrase, “Go ahead, make my day.” But backstage, stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood’s remarks stretched on. After his speech, Romney’s camp defended Eastwood. Pentagon may take legal action against SEAL author WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s top lawyer on Thursday informed the former Navy SEAL who wrote a forthcoming book describing details of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden that he violated agreements to not divulge military secrets and that as a result the Pentagon is considering taking legal action against him. The general counsel of the Defense Department, Jeh Johnson, wrote in a letter transmitted to the author that he had signed two nondisclosure agreements with the Navy in 2007 that obliged him to “never divulge” classified information. “This commitment remains in force even after you left the active duty Navy,” Johnson wrote. He said Bissonnette left active duty “on or about April 20, 2012,” which was nearly one year after the May 2011 raid. By signing the agreements, Bissonnette acknowledged his awareness, Johnson wrote, that “disclosure of classified information constitutes a violation of federal criminal law.” He said it also obliged the author to submit his manuscript for a security review by the government before it was published. The Pentagon has said the manuscript was not submitted for re- view, although it obtained a copy last week. Johnson said that after reviewing a copy of the book, “No Easy Day,” the Pentagon concluded that the author is in “material breach and violation” of the agreements. The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint. The Associated Press purchased a copy Tuesday. Johnson addressed his letter to Mr. “Mark Owen,” using quotation marks to signify that this is the author’s pseudonym. His real name is Matt Bissonnette. � https://history.meigslibrary.org/files/original/4ca6c4e7c69603c1db977ad817bfb911.pdf d70142ab02fc1bf157a50a5a3b7f7be1 PDF Text Text WEEK OF September 1, 2012 - September 8, 2012 Gallipolis honored as one of Ohio’s best hometowns Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — It’s an honor that has been received by towns such as Marietta, Chillicothe, Athens and Cambridge in it’s seven-year history and, in it’s most recent installment, Gallipolis has been honored as one of Ohio’s Best Hometowns by Ohio Magazine.

Event marks completion of Hobson project Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — A ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of a $486,325 project of extending Middleport Village water lines and installing fire hydrants in the Hobson area was held Friday afternoon. The area where the water lines were installed was annexed into Middleport Village many years ago with a promise to the residents that they would be provided with village water and fire protection. An Ohio EPA grant of $192,699 and a zero percent loan of $296,614 to be repaid in bi-annual payments of $4,892 made it possible for the village to proceed. TAM Construction handled the water line extension phase which extended into Leading Creek, Clonch Road, Lagoon Road, and Powell Road of the Hobson area, and the installation of 13 fire hydrants. Six and eight inch water lines were installed. The hydrants put in place are individually designed to produce from 500 to 990 gallons of water per minute. Different colors are used to designate output, according to Faymon Roberts, village administrator. It was noted that while all of the water lines have been laid, some connections to houses re- main to be completed. Among those participating in the ribbon cutting ceremony were Mayor Michael Gerlach, Middleport Council members Sandy Brown and Rae Moore; Curtis Strickland, Rural Community Assistance Program, who worked on project funding; Don Hysell, field supervisor for Middleport’s Public Works Department;Kurt Montle, president of TAM Construction; and Debbie Gerlach, president of the Middleport Community Association. A certification of congratulations on completion of the water project was received from Senator Sherrod Brown. Small family farm thrives in Gallia County Agnes Hapka Special to the Sunday Times Sentinel GALLIPOLIS — Nick and Celeste Nolan are dedicated to the idea that not only can their family farm flourish here in Gallia County, but that it doesn’t have to be unique in its success. “I was raised under the paradigm that to do well you had to move away from this area,” Nick remembered. “But this land is so fertile and rich; people have the capacity to grow their own food here. We all have a lot to gain from being more connected to the food we eat. And it’s not some arcane idea that you can be successful at farming in this area.” However, the Nolans know that times have changed for family farms, and small farmers have had to adapt to an increasingly global food market. “People have become disconnected from the food they buy,” Nick noted, “and disconnected from the po- Aged cheeses must hang out in the cold for at least two months. litical and economic ramifications of buying food that is available globally. Lower cost mass-produced food is a false concept. You’re getting less for your money.” Nick’s origins are in Gallia County. “Nick’s grandparents moved here in 1947 from Boone County, West Virginia,” Celeste said. “They started dairy farming then and raised four kids. When Nick was a kid, there were over 150 dairy farms in Gal- lia County. Now there are eight. It was a thriving community.” “This area is perfect for dairy farming, but it has become harder to make money as a small farmer; there’s always a middle man. For every dollar you spend at the grocery store, only around 25 cents comes back to the farmer. So, I can see why those farmers went out of business. That’s why we started making cheese and selling it directly to our POMEROY — Again this year the annual chili cook-off will be a feature of the Sternwheel Riverfest “Rally by the River” scheduled to kickoff on September 13.

Decor Corner opens downtown Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — A new business in the business of home decor has opened on Main Street. Decor Corner, on the corner of Third and Main Streets in downtown Point Pleasant, had a special ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday. The business, a joint venture between Alia King and mother Pauletta R. King, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. Alia said she’s always been fascinated with interior design and has previous experience designing windows for stores like Kohl’s and Deb. Up until recently, she worked at the Wallpaper Outlet store on Main Street which closed earlier this year. Alia has taken what she learned at Wallpaper Outlet and stocked Decor Corner with a variety of wallpaper and wall murals as well as other home decorating options from pillows, to table settings, to curtains, to linens and more. The store has Park brand products, Home Collections Raghu, The Country House Collection and will eventually add Fiestaware. Alia said what sets her store apart from others is Decor Corner sells all its products under suggested retail. Another unique aspect of Decor Corner is its private parties where the store provides space for a hostess to invite friends to shop inside the store, typically after hours. At these parties there are light refreshments, a door prize and the hostess receives a store credit and a percentage of what is sold.

We sold milk wholesale and milk prices were bad for us — between 12 and 20 dollars for a hundred pounds of milk. We figured out that it is more profitable to turn the milk into cheese.” The Nolans produce about 450 pounds of cheese per week, by milking around 20 cows, selling the cheese across the region in Athens, Columbus, Huntington and Cleveland. In Gallipolis, the cheese is carried by downtown Foodland and Merry Family Winery, and Celeste may be found at the farmer’s market most Saturday mornings starting in June and ending in October each year. “We make Mozzarella, Gruyere, fresh cheddar curds in various flavors, mature cheddar, pepper jack, Cora and Jersey Drover,” Celeste said. “I make cheese three days a week, both pasteurized and raw milk variety. Any of the fresh cheeses are made from pasteurized milk. The aged cheese is aged a minimum of two months. The pepper jack is made with local peppers. “We move milk from the milk house to the cheese house, which is about 600 feet. I raise the temperature to 100 degrees and then cool it back down to 85 or 90 degrees. Then I add a culture that turns the lactose into lactic acid, and rennet which makes it coagulate. Then I cut the curd and drain off the whey, and put the curds into molds and press them. Then I have wheels Mike Bou-Nacklie | Daily Sentinel At the homestead — Celeste and Nick Nolan with their children Edgar, Gus, Lilah and baby Harlan. of cheese.” Nick began to learn the fundamentals of the business before he was out of grade school. “I started milking cows when I was about 10,” he said, “I always helped my grandfather Edgar Cook. He and my grandmother Betsy owned the place, and I was born and raised here. I graduated from Buckeye Hills and went to the University of Rio Grande where I earned a bachelor of science in industrial technology.” In 2009, Nick built the cheese house and the Nolans obtained their state-issued license to sell cheese. “We have a closed herd; we raise all our heifers here, Jerseys. I rotationally graze them, dividing up pastures into paddocks. We don’t used any herbicides or pesticides or antibiotics, which sets us apart, and all the milk goes into the cheese.” Nick milks around 20 cows twice a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. “I was raised and educated here. Philosophically, we are interested in keeping the benefits here in our community. We shop locally, and all the revenue from the cheese comes back to the local area,” Nick said. The Nolans also donate to programs like Donation Station, which distributes food to seven different food-based charities. And in the interests of educating the next generation of farmers, Celeste participates each year in Ag Awareness Day at the Farm Bureau. “We try to show by example that it is possible to make a living as a farmer here,” Celeste said.

It’s a way for us to tell our story.” According to Hood, representatives with the magazine visited Gallipolis in August — touring the city and attending events in the area — and were happy with what they found. “They were very impressed and very pleased with what they saw here,” Hood said. Hood further stated that editors with the publication will visit the area on several occasions in the coming months, and, in addition to the November issue, Gallipolis will be featured in the upcoming January and July editions of the magazine. Additionally, at a date yet to be announced, an official award presentation will be held and Gallipolis will be presented with an award signifying their status as one of Ohio’s best hometowns — an honor that Hood hopes residents and citizens in the area continue to be proud of and celebrate throughout the year. “Everybody in Ohio is passionate about their own town, everybody is passionate about where they live, and I think this is just an opportunity to show the state what we have,” he said.

Ohio River Live was born when a group of Gallia County residents banded together a year and a half ago to help promote tourism and economic development. Members of the grassroots Ohio River Live group set out to develop an annual music festival featuring a major headliner plus popular regional acts. Gallia County residents Rick Van Gundy, Matt Johnson (Gallipolis City Commissioner), Steve Marxen, Jimmy Wiseman (former Gallia County Chamber of Commerce president), Shayna Chapman and Mark Ward were the founders of Ohio River Live. They represent a cross section of the community ranging from business leaders to musicians to governmental leaders. “The intent is to provide a fun event here in our town that promotes tourism, possibly bring some people from outside our community … but provide an outlet for our people to able to hear some live music without having to travel,” Wiseman explained when the group was still getting off the ground. According to the committee, one year later, that goal is being realized ANNOUNCEMENTS Elizabeth Cook as the festival continues to grow and the word continues to spread. “We’ve noticed that there have been quite a few out-of-town visitors to our events,” said Marxen, now secretary of the ORL committee. “We are really glad for that [visitors] and for the dedicated local and regional residents who support these events,” said ORL committee president Rick Van Gundy. The third annual Ohio River Live event will feature Elizabeth Cook, who recently graced the David Letterman stage and has performed hundreds of times at the Grand Ole Opry. She owns the stage with a unique blend of country, bluegrass, mountain music and rock. Making a return to the Ohio Valley for the event after headlining it last year is singer/songwriter Matt King. King wowed a crowd of die-hard music lovers last September, as temperatures soared around 100 degrees. He quickly made a place for himself here in Gallipolis, and comes back again and again. “Your hometown welcomes me like one of its own,” said King in a Friday interview with the Sunday Times-Sentinel. “And musically, I feel like the people relate to me there. It’s a special place.” Also performing Saturday are local bands Open Rail and Stillwater. StillWater is a band that was formed in 1992 by the brother duo of Kevin and Kent Jolley. The band’s early beginnings were rooted in classic rock and country, but the brothers decided to broaden their musical scope and incorporate Business Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO. recommends that you do business with people you know, and NOT to send money through the mail until you have investigating the offering.

Be verbal, and ask for more feedback. You are likely to lose your temper more than usual. Others could be taken aback as a result. Choose your words with care; otherwise, you could cause yourself more problems. If you are single, you find yourself drawn to a suitor who might be emotionally unavailable. A friendship could develop into more. If you are attached, the two of you would enjoy scheduling a long-desired trip. Do so, and you will become closer. Be respectful of each other’s differences. ARIES makes a fun friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Once more, you are nearly unstoppable with your high energy. In fact, if someone stands in your way, you might feel like a freight train about to run him or her over. As a result you could become irritable and difficult. Tonight: Whatever is your pleasure. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You can express your feelings in a manner that lets you be heard. However, only someone who really cares about you might listen intently. You would be wise to say very little at this moment — just wait for the right time. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might want to look at a friendship in a new light. Somehow, others are not coming from the same place as you. You actually might feel pressured by a very assertive friend. Keep your chin up. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Venus moves into your sign today, adding extra allure and desirability. You find that others keep asking you to assume more responsibility in their lives. For some people, this request is authentic. For others, it is an excuse to have you closer. Tonight: Till the wee hours. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your fiery ways make a big difference with many people. Some people are intimidated by your energy, yet others find it to be contagious. Take comments with a grain of salt. Be careful of a new person you meet today. Tonight: Try something totally new. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be encouraged to deal with one individual directly. A sense of insecurity marks your interactions. You might feel pushed to the max. You’ll gain a sense of well-being by handling this important matter. Tonight: Keep togetherness in mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You know what is going on, but you can’t isolate yourself from dealing with the matter at hand. A situation could become increasingly difficult to handle. Perhaps you need to let go rather than try to take control. Someone lets you know how much he or she appreciates your efforts. Tonight: Sort through ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Realize that you are limited when it comes to how much you can accomplish. Understand what is happening with an associate or acquaintance you deal with on a daily basis. Open up to new thoughts and different approaches. Tonight: Easy works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be torn between two options. One allows you to feel much freer. The other one demands a certain amount of self-discipline. A child or new friend pulls you into a fun situation. Go along for the ride. Tonight: Let off some steam. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be directly impacted by another’s energy. He or she could be very pushy. For whatever reason, you think you need to step up to the plate and establish your boundaries. Just don’t allow a situation to become too demanding. Tonight: Happy to head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your words have punch to them — much more than you think. Turn around and observe the reactions around you, then you will realize your power. Do not withdraw, but try to take a more nurturing approach. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Share dinner with a pal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Someone you care about might be unusually affectionate. Nevertheless, dealing with an associate or partner tests your limits and helps you stay grounded. Negativity is contagious, or so you’ll discover. Tonight: Treat yourself well.
