Noel, 75 50 cents daily TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 149 Attorney questions why C8 remains unregulated Callie Lyons Special to Heartland Publications OHIO VALLEY — Despite lawsuits and health studies, the controversial manufacturing substance C8 remains unregulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Cincinnati attorney Rob Bilott is urging the agency to take swift action in light of recent findings from the C8 Science Panel. Eleven years ago, C8, also known as PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid, was detected in area water supplies. At that time, Bilott notified the EPA of the presence of the “previously undisclosed threat to human health” — C8 contamination that had been making its way from DuPont Washington Works and into local drinking water for decades. Since that time, the chemical compound, which is used to make Teflon and thousands of other consumer applications, has been the subject of litigation in four states. A class action lawsuit filed by Bilott on the part of local water consumers developed into a settlement intended to resolve the debate over potential human health outcomes. The case involved the consumers of several public water supplies, including Lubeck and Mason County, West Virginia and Belpre, Pomeroy, Tuppers Plains and Little Hocking, Ohio. As a result of the settlement agreement, nearly 70,000 people were recruited to participate in the C8 Health Project and to have their data analyzed by the C8 Science Panel. Recently, the panel announced some of their conclusions — linking the manmade substance to pregnancy-induced hypertension, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer and kidney cancer — diseases Bilott says have impacted thousands of Mid-Ohio Valley residents. The panel’s final results are expected before the end of October. See QUESTIONS ‌| 5 Meth lab discovered Saturday morning Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Flag lined many of the streets in downtown Pomeroy on Monday, a symbol of the Labor Day holiday. Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel Honoring achievements of American workers Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com OHIO VALLEY — Labor Day, which is celebrated the first Monday in September, traditionally marks the end of summer and the start of many things including the school year (in many places) and the NFL and NCAA football seasons. But that is not the reason the holiday was created more than 100 years ago. According to the US Department of Labor, the holiday was created by the la- bor movement in the 1880s and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of the country. The first Labor Day observance was in New York City on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day on Sept. 5, 1883. Labor Day was moved to the traditional first Monday of September in 1884 and was celebrated as a “workingmen’s holiday.” Labor Day was first recognized by the government in 1885 and 1886 with the passage of ordinances by municipalities. Oregon became the first state to pass legislation to recognize the holiday in 1887. Congress passed an act in 1894 making the first Monday of September a legal holiday. Since that time celebrations have ranged from parades to speeches by union leaders and business leaders. MEIGS COUNTY — A “shake and bake” methamphetamine lab was discovered on Saturday morning by Meigs County Sheriff ’s Deputies. The lab was discovered inside a duffel bag taken during a Saturday morning arrest. Ryan Miller, 25, of Lovett Road, Portland, was taken into custody on outstanding warrants. According to Sheriff Robert Beegle, his office received a report of vehicles around the church at Olde Town. When deputies arrived on the scene there were no cars, but an individual, with a duffel bag, was found sleeping at the edge of the lawn. Deputies learned the individual, Miller, had multiple outstanding warrants. A warrant from Meigs Teen rock band ‘New Hollow’ performing Friday Staff report Remembering Jenkins’ Raid Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — When we think of the Civil War and its relevance to Meigs County, we think of Morgan’s Raid and the Battle of Buffington Island. But there was another invasion of Confederate troops on Union soil in Meigs County, according to local historian Keith Ashley. And now that we are in the midst of the sesquicentennial commemoration of the War of the Rebellion, more commonly known as the Civil War, Ashley brings our attention to the fact that Meigs County had a unique place in the war being the location of the first invasion of Confederate troops on Union soil known as “Jenkins’ Raid.” That raid preceded the more famous Morgan’s Raid by almost a year. A commemoration of that event is set to be held at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8, at the military monument of the Racine American Legion Post at its post headquarters. The event is being spon- sored by the Ohio Commander Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States — the oldest Civil War organization in Ohio. Both Union and Confederate groups are slated to participate. A history of the raid will be given. A member of the family of Confederate General, Albert Gallatin Jenkins, is slated to participate. Local civic, patriotic, and veterans’ organizations are invited to participate by the presentation of a wreath at the ceremony. Groups wish- ing to do so should contact Ashley 992-7874 for details. The public is invited to attend the commemorative event. The Ohio Historical Society announced last week that the once missing historical marker recognizing Brigadier General Albert G. Jenkins raid into Ohio in 1862 has been restored to its proper place at Buffington Island State Memorial. It is located near the new exhibit kiosk at the park on State Route 124 in Portland. Candidates for Party in the Park Queen County Court was from Jan. 2011, when Miller failed to appear for a preliminary hearing on the charge of receiving stolen property. A warrant from Meigs County Common Pleas Court was also outstanding for failure to appear on a summons on an indictment for breaking and entering in June 2011, as was a Dec. 2011 warrant from Juvenile Court was for failure to appear at a hearing. Deputies discovered the meth lab while completing an inventory of the duffel bag at the Sheriff’s Office. The bag and contents were immediately taken outside. Gallia County Deputy Fred Workman and Middleport Officer Rick Smith, both certified to handle meth labs, came to the scene and disposed of the chemicals. Miller is being held in the Meigs County Jail. mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com RACINE — Teen rock band New Hollow will perform on Friday evening at Racine’s annual Party in the Park. The band became the first unsigned teen rock band with no radio play to top Billboard’s 2011 Hot 100 Physical CD Singles Sales Chart with their first three singles charting at the No. 1, 3 and 4 positions. The band’s first single, “SiCK,” released on Nov. 1, 2010, debuted at No. 1 in its first week. According to Billboard, “SiCK” sold more physical CD singles in two weeks than all other artists for the entire year of 2010. The band’s first single sold over 140,000 in less than six weeks, making New Hollow No. 1 in Physical CD Single Sales for all of 2010. The 2012 Party in the Park Queen will be crowned at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the festival. Seven seniors from Southern High School have been selected as queen candidates for Racine’s annual Party in the Park. These girls are all active in school and community functions. The candidates will be interviewed individually by a panel of judges, who will select a Queen as well as Miss Congeniality. The candidates are, front row, from left, Kyrie Swann, Jennifer McCoy and Stefanie Pyles. Back row, from left, are McKayla Powell, Makayla Findley, Shelby Pickens and Angie Eynon. Emily Ash was the 2011 Party in the Park Queen. Submitted photo New Hollow The three band members, Mick Clouse, 17 (lead vocal, guitar, keyboard), Evan West, 17 (lead vocal, keyboard, bass, guitar), Chad Blashford, 16 (drums, back-up vocal), are all self-taught musicians and vocalists. In addition to being skilled at multiple instruments, they also write their own music. With two strong lead vocalists and an equally strong backup singer who occasionally pops in an unexpected rap overlay, New Hollow is known for melodic harmonies and a unique approach. Their sound has been referred to as fresh, pop rock with a retro flare. When it comes to writing, they find inspiration from their own life experiences. “It’s our way of expressing ourselves.

President Connie Largent welcomed everyone, giving them a bag of prizes and including a number for a drawing later in the day. They sang the doxology as the blessing before the meal, and also sang “Happy Birthday” to Lydia Mayers who as celebrating her fourth birthday. Following the dinner, there was athletic competition with prizes going to the winners. There were also prizes for guessing the closest number of items in jars. The Olympic spirit winners were Ashley and Delaney Zimmerman. Gifts were given to the following: Maurita Miller, 94, the oldest; Sophia Mayers, 19 months, the youngest. The traditional Staneart family trivia game was won by Maurita Miller, answering 13 of 15 questions correctly. The new question added this year was, “Why did Joel leave Tuscawaras County and come to Meigs County?” The answer is yellow fever. Of the 13 children of Joel and Lydia Staneart, three were represented at the reunion. Twentythree descendants from Nicholas, one from Comfort and one from Lydia Ann. A few family heritage forms were received from those who couldn’t attend this year. When all are present, at least six siblings of Joel and Lydia are represented at the reunion. The Staneart family reunion group picture was taken. Other past pictures of reunions were displayed along with the more recent albums made by Paula Pickens. Thanks to Connie Largent, more family photos and other mementos were laid out for all to see and if desired to have a copy made. Those attending brought items for a silent auction. Antiques included were a large metal thermometer and a corn shucker. A silent auction was held and prizes were awarded.. Patriotic songs were sung, and it was mentioned that Lt. Col. Robert C. Allen, son of Marilyn Staneart Allen and grandson of Cecil D. Staneart, has officially retired from the Army after 27 years of active service. Family members were encouraged to send him a note of thanks for his many years of service to our country. The death of Keith Staneart on May 5, 2012 was reported. Those reported who need get-well cards were Bill Kirkendall and Jerry Woodruff. Next year our reunion will be held on Saturday, July 27, at the VFW Albany Post.

Pre-convention tussle: Are Americans better off? CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — In an overnight reversal of rhetoric, President Barack Obama’s top allies insisted Monday that Americans are surely better off than four years ago despite a slow economic recovery and joblessness of 8.3 percent. Republicans countered that the president has failed on the fundamental question of this election. On Labor Day, Republican Mitt Romney said in a statement: “For far too many Americans, today is another day of worrying when their next paycheck will come.” “We’re worse off,” declared Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus, speaking on CNN in the warm-up to the Democratic National Convention. “There’s half a million more people unemployed today than three or four years ago, not to mention the underemployed, people who aren’t making what they should make.” Obama, for his part, sought to highlight the economic gains of the past four years by visiting with Toledo autoworkers before heading to Louisiana to survey damage from Hurricane Isaac. He sat down to breakfast with three workers before a scheduled address at a United Auto Workers rally, underscoring the turnaround of the U.S. auto industry on his watch. Vice President Joe Biden seconded the message at a Labor Day rally in Detroit and put the blame for the country’s economic woes squarely on the Republicans, declaring, “America is better off today than they left us when they left.” Then he struck up a chant: “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.” Democratic supporters went into overdrive to put a glossy sheen on economic progress after offering a more muddled message over the weekend about whether Americans are better off under Obama. “Absolutely,” said Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, speaking on NBC’s “Today” show. “By any measure the country has moved forward over the last four years. It might not be as fast as some people would’ve hoped. The president agrees with that.” Martin O’Malley, Maryland’s Democratic governor, had answered the same question with a “no” on Sunday before turning the blame to Obama’s Republican predecessor. Appearing Monday on CNN, O’Malley tried a more positive turn of phrase, saying: “We are clearly better off as a country because we’re now creating jobs rather than losing them. But we have not recovered all that we lost in the Bush recession. That’s why we need to continue to move forward” under Obama. Democrats have plenty of convincing to do. In the most recent Associated Press-GfK poll, 28 percent said they were bet- ter off than four years ago, while 36 percent said they were worse off and 36 percent said they were in about the same financial position. While the official convention program doesn’t start until Tuesday, delegations were gathering across Charlotte on Monday for state breakfasts and a festival in downtown Charlotte hosted by the Democrats featuring singer James Taylor and actor Jeff Bridges. At a breakfast with the Iowa delegation, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the chair of the convention, told about 60 members of the state’s contingent that Romney and running mate Paul Ryan would pursue massive tax cuts that would benefit only the very wealthy — stances that he said were far removed from their GOP predecessors. “Ronald Reagan would turn in his grave listening to some of these people,” he said. “They’re so far out there.” Villaraigosa told the Iowans that he spent 25 years as a community organizer and urged them to register new voters and recruit volunteers to help re-elect Obama. “We’ve got our work cut out for us. We know that,” he said. “The country is evenly divided. It has been for a long time. So what are we going to do? This is going to be a working convention. Every one of you can sign up as a volunteer. In fact, I know you’re already going to volunteer.” In Boulder, Colo., on Sunday, Obama warned a college crowd that “the other side is going to spend more money than we’ve ever seen in our lives, with an avalanche of attack ads and insults and making stuff up, just making stuff up.” “What they’re counting on is that you get so discouraged by this, that at a certain point you just say, you know what, I’m going to leave it up to somebody else.” Obama did not mention his own side’s arsenal of negative advertising. The Republican convention behind him, Romney was staying low for a few days, preparing for the October debates as Democratic conventioneers gathered for the opening of their event Tuesday. Younger voters gave Obama a big boost four years ago and he can ill afford to see their support drop off in a tight election where the sluggish economy is the dominant issue in the nation and a specific drag to many young people coming out of college or trying to afford it. But his campaign surely has a more immediate need for young people, too — helping to fill the seats for Obama’s address Thursday. With 6,000 delegates at the convention and thousands more attached to the event, Democrats hope to pack a nearly 74,000-seat outdoor stadium for the prime-time speech. Another disaster brings candidates to Gulf Coast NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mitt Romney wasted no time after accepting the GOP presidential nomination in heading to Louisiana to see the damage from Hurricane Isaac, changing his schedule on the fly to get there the very next day. President Barack Obama also tweaked his travel plans to make sure he gets there Monday, ahead of his own nominating convention. This for a Category 1 storm that killed seven and swamped low-lying areas of Louisiana and dumped more than a foot of rain on its way north — a disaster, to be sure, but one that will never rival the biggest to hit the Gulf Coast. In a region with a storied culture and a history of human suffering, natural and manmade catastrophes, and struggles with government ineptitude and indifference, it’s just another turn in front of the cameras as the perfect political backdrop. Call it the Katrina effect: Presidents, and would-be presidents, can’t afford to get panned like George W. Bush did in the days after Hurricane Katrina crippled New Orleans and the Mississippi and Alabama coasts in 2005, killing more than 1,800. Bush’s decision to observe Katrina’s flooding of New Orleans first in a flyover in Air Force One instead of putting his feet on the ground gave critics an opening to argue that he was indifferent to the suffering below. He later set the standard for what not to do in a disaster when he infamously patted the back of former Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Michael Brown, tell- ing him he had done a “heck of a job, Brownie,” as tens of thousands languished at New Orleans’ convention center. “I dare say, before Katrina there’s no way that you would have the president and Romney here within days of one another in a storm of this relatively small magnitude — not to diminish the impact of it (Isaac),” said Robert Mann, the director of the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs at Louisiana State University. For many of the people who call the Gulf Coast home, it doesn’t matter if it’s a storm that submerges the streets, or a busted oil well spewing millions of gallon of crude: the political posturing doesn’t make them feel like relief is coming any faster. “We just want our lights on,” said Eddie Cooley, a 56-year-old chemical warehouse worker drenched in sweat as he worked on his truck’s engine in the Lower 9th Ward, the New Orleans neighborhood flooded to rooftops during Katrina. Over the weekend, parts of the neighborhood remained without electricity, days after Isaac passed. “We don’t care who gets elected and who doesn’t,” Cooley said. “We just want power.” Presidents have been coming to the Deep South for decades to score political points. Herbert Hoover rode his way to the White House following his heroics in response to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. In the aftermath of Hurricane Betsy in 1965, U.S. Sen. Russell Long urged President Lyndon Johnson to journey south, telling him that if he got down to New Orleans “by the end of the day, you’ll never lose another election in this state,” Mann said. Johnson went to New Orleans with Cabinet members to “see with my own eyes what the unhappy alliance of wind and water have done to this land and to its good people.” He met with hurricane victims, ordered water to be delivered to shelters and pledged the federal government’s full resources to help New Orleans get back on its feet. As it turned out, Johnson decided not to run for re-election in 1968. Still, “Politicians never stop thinking about politics. Never stop thinking about taking advantage of any situation,” said Mann, who served as spokesman to then-Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco during Katrina. For national politicians, a crisis like those on the coast presents an opportunity to demonstrate leadership. Or to bring disaster on themselves if they don’t handle it right.

The Republican team of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would emphasize the need to curb rising tuitions and federal education spending that are burdening families and the government. The different approaches to coping with growing college costs highlight one way that Obama and the GOP ticket are competing for young voters. This important group leaned heavily toward Obama in 2008 and still prefers him, according to polls, though less decisively. Tuitions and fees for fouryear public colleges grew by 72 percent above inflation over the past decade, averaging $8,244 last year, according to the College Board, which represents more than 6,000 schools. Student loan debt in the U.S. has hit $914 billion; the average borrower owes more than $24,000, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York says. Democrats are sure to reach for the college vote at the party’s national convention in Charlotte, N.C., a week after Obama spoke to students in university towns in Virginia, Colorado and Iowa. Romney was counting on his youngest son, Craig, and the 42-year-old Ryan to court young supporters. In 2008, voters age 18 to 24 sided with Obama over GOP candidate John McCain by a 66-32 margin. A Gallup poll taken in July and August found that same age group preferring Obama over Romney by 56 percent to 36 percent, an edge that Republicans would love to erode further. Well before the party conventions, both sides had issued proposals directly affecting college students — and their parents — coping with those mushrooming costs. Obama would let the current $5,550 per year maximum Pell grant increase to $5,635 next year, as scheduled under current law. That figure has grown by more than $900 since 2008 for a program that is the largest source of federal aid for students, serving more than 9 million of them. Obama would make permanent the American Opportunity tax credit, created as part of his 2009 economic stimulus program. The credit provides up to $2,500 a year per student for college costs but is due to expire Jan. 1. Renewing it would cost an estimated $13 billion next year alone. Obama has also proposed tying some federal aid, including Perkins loans and subsidies for students’ work-study jobs, to schools’ abilities to curb tuition increases. The president’s proposals continue “the administration’s commitment to keep college affordable for students and their families,” his 2013 budget blueprint said. Separate plans by presidential nominee Romney and his running mate focus more on containing federal costs. In a May paper, Romney argued that even as federal spending for higher education has grown, the costs of attending college and student debt have ballooned. Obama initiatives making the government the direct source of federal student loans, creating the American Opportunity tax credit and boosting Pell grants have not worked, it said. “Flooding colleges with federal dollars only serves to drive tuition higher,” said Romney’s education paper, “A Chance for Every Child.” It said Romney would improve college access and affordability: “A Romney administration will tackle this challenge by making clear that the federal government will no longer write a blank check to universities to reward their tuition increases.” Romney would eliminate duplicative federal college financial aid programs, di- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It provides few details. He would put private lenders back in the business of issuing federally backed student loans, let companies compile data about lending and colleges for consumers and help families save for higher education. The paper says little about how. Campaigning in March, Romney was asked by a voter what he would do to make college more affordable. Romney replied that while it might be popular for him to answer that he would provide students with government money, “what I’m going to tell you is shop around.” Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who is chairman of the House Budget Committee, wrote a Houseapproved 2013 budget that would let the American Opportunity tax credit expire in January. It would freeze the maximum Pell grant at $5,500 for the next decade and it suggests rolling back some subsidies for student borrowers and recent provisions making the grants more widely available. Ryan’s budget says the Pell grant program, currently costing about $36 billion a year, is unsustainable. “Urgent reforms are necessary to enable the program to continue as the foundation of the nation’s commitment to helping low-income students gain access to higher education,” budget documents say. Obama also proposed keeping interest rates at 3.4 percent for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates. After initial Republican hesitation, Romney endorsed the idea and Congress eventually approved it. Ryan’s budget would have let the rates double to 6.8 percent, as was scheduled under previous law. Andrew Miga Steve LeBlanc Associated Press BOSTON — Mitt Romney, hoping to draw a sharp contrast on welfare, is citing a disputed charge that President Barack Obama is giving recipients a free ride, and he can point to his own record of pushing for tighter rules. Romney, Massachusetts governor from 2003 to 2007, fought to require single parents with children as young as a year old to work to get welfare benefits if they could obtain state-subsidized child care. He opposed efforts to allow time spent in job training or education programs to count toward the state’s 20-hour weekly work requirement for welfare recipients, and pushed for a five-year lifetime limit on welfare benefits. At the time, Massachusetts was one of only five states without a lifetime limit, instead allowing welfare recipients to claim benefits two years out of every five-year period. Despite his tougher stand, Romney also tried to shield welfare benefits from budget cuts as the state struggled with sinking revenues. “There are a number of areas where I feel significant cuts would be too difficult on such short notice. I did not cut welfare payments,” Romney said in a televised address in 2003 explaining his state budget proposal after just four weeks on the job. “In fact, the majority of state programs for the poor and elderly were not touched.” As the GOP presidential nominee, Romney has been criticized for shifting his position on everything from abortion and embryonic stem cell research to health care. But his stand on welfare has remained relatively constant. Despite his record as governor, his campaign has come under increasing criticism for leveling what Democrats and many independent fact-checkers say are dubious charges against Obama. Romney’s campaign alleges in remarks and TV ads that Obama is loosening welfare restrictions by ending a provi- 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.

Romney has told voters again and again he’d restore the work requirement to the federal program. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum made the attack line a big part of his speech to the GOP convention, saying that Obama “showed us once again he believes in government handouts and dependency by waiving the work requirement for welfare.” Yet numerous independent fact-checkers, including The Associated Press, have determined that Romney and his surrogates are distorting the facts. The White House says the waivers Obama approved for states recently would only allow them to drop the work requirement if they can accomplish the same goals using different methods. In Massachusetts, Romney clashed not only with Democratic leaders but also with advocates for those on welfare. Those advocates said some of his recommendations were harmful to children, particularly those requiring parents of young children, often mothers, to work up to 20 hours a week to maintain their benefits. In a state with a liberal reputation, Romney’s tough stand put him at odds with a Democratic-controlled Legislature. Yet it also placed him in line with some of his GOP gubernatorial predecessors in Massachusetts. Romney vetoed a proposal sent to him by the Legislature during his first year to allow welfare recipients to use time spent in training and education classes to satisfy the state work requirement. It later overturned Romney’s veto. During his second year, Romney took another stab at toughening welfare requirements, again pushing to require more parents currently receiving welfare benefits to go to work. By 2005, Romney sought to increase the pressure even more by proposing rules that would mandate welfare recipients with children as young as a year old to start working 20 hours a week to earn their state benefits. In his state of the state address that year, Romney outlined his efforts to bring what he called “real welfare reform to Massachusetts,” saying part of his goal was to help get those on welfare back into the workforce as quickly as possible. “People from both political parties have long recognized that welfare without work creates negative incentives that lead to permanent poverty,” Romney said. “It robs people of self-esteem.” Throughout his term, Romney often found himself at odds with welfare advocates, who said his tougher line would ultimately hurt the children of those on welfare and make it difficult for recipients to find jobs that would allow them to support their families. During his final year in office, Romney and Democratic lawmakers again clashed over the best way to overhaul the state’s welfare laws. The House and Senate passed a bill they said would require more welfare recipients to work, but critics, including Romney, said the plan didn’t go far enough, jeopardizing millions in federal welfare dollars. The Legislature’s bill would have required about 16,000 of the state’s 45,600 welfare recipients to work. Romney proposed a series of amendments he said would put more than 25,500 recipients to work. Among those was his push to require women with children between 1 and 2 years old to work if they could obtain state-subsidized child care. Romney also wanted to require disabled welfare recipients to meet the stricter federal definition of disability rather than a more lenient state definition. The Legislature ended its formal session that year without taking final action on the welfare overhaul bill. Asked for comment on his welfare record, Romney’s campaign cited his remarks this month in Iowa, saying he pushed for tougher work requirements for those receiving benefits.

The band’s first CD single “SiCK” (was written when the boys were 13 and 14), is a selfpenned teenage story of unrequited love from a guy’s point of view. Specifically, it addresses the angst that a teen boy feels when he is crushing on a girl, but she doesn’t even know he exists. “Boyfriend,” the band’s second single, (was written when they boys were 14 and 15), is about the unfortunate challenges of reality, related to a long distance relationship. Their third single, “Airplanes” is a cover of the original B.O.B. song featuring Hayley Williams from Paramore and highlights the unique rapping abilities of the drummer, Chad. New Hollow’s singles “SiCK”, Boyfriend” and “Airplanes” are available on iTunes and in Justice Stores nationwide and through all digital retailers. Their name, New Hollow, comes from the merging of “New” from their hometown of New Albany, with “Hollow” from a street sign they passed during a trip to Cleveland. Although the boys are all from different states, Mick by way of Dallas and New York City, Evan from Detroit, and Chad from the Los Angeles area, by some strange twist of fate they ended up attending the same school in New Albany, a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Looking back, the band has come a long way in a short amount of time. In 2010, New Hollow’s National Anthem performance on Thanksgiving Day at Cowboy Stadium before the Dallas-New Orleans game marked a milestone in the young teens’ career, making it their first television appearance ever in front of more than 93,000 fans and viewed by 30 million nationwide. The band was also selected as the opening act for Train at Clear Channel’s WNCI 97.9 Jingle Ball; the nation’s leading top 40 Station in the Midwest. Furthermore, New Hollow was named the 2011 Spokespersons for the Salvation Army and was the Headlining Act for their 2010 Rock the Red Kettle Concert. As awareness of the band continues to grow, in 2011 they were featured on Fox and NBC News, The CW and Access Hollywood. The band also starred in their very first TV commercial for ECOT (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow). In Spring 2011 they were asked to perform for many charitable and corporate events including the annual galas for both — Make-A-Wish A registry is available at www.andersonmcdaniel.com. Mary L.

In 2009, the agency issued an informal, provisional health advisory for human short-term exposure, but Bilott says the agency has “never issued any regulatory or otherwise enforceable limits on longterm exposure to PFOA in drinking water”. Bilott says he is concerned because he recently discovered EPA intends to delay actual regulatory activity until 2025 — or 24 years after he first requested action on the part of his Mid-Ohio Valley clients. “On behalf of our individual resident clients who have been and/or continue to be exposed to PFOA in their residential drinking water, we again urge U.S. EPA to take action more quickly to release appropriate limits and guidelines for PFOA in drinking water applicable to long-term, chronic exposures, particularly given the recent data confirming thousands of cases of serious human disease linked to such exposures among impacted residential communities,” Bilott said in an Aug. 20 letter to EPA. “Twenty four years is far too long to ask our clients to wait.” The EPA has committed to a nationwide monitoring program involving C8 and other substances of concern from 2013 to 2015, but regulatory limits seem little more than a distant possibility. Through a public information request, Bilott uncovered the agency’s intent to delay the process with data analysis scheduled for 2016 – 2017 and a regulatory determination to be proposed in 2020 – 2023 and finalized 2022 – 2025. The information was part of an email exchange from the office of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources to US EPA staff in response to an article by Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette. “It seems clear the EPA should be acting expeditiously,” said David Altman, attorney for the Little Hocking Water Association — whose water supplies measured the greatest amount of C8 contamination. In a separate action, the water association has filed a federal suit against DuPont over the corruption of their natural resources — their aquifer and wellfield. That case is ongoing. Altman said the EPA should regulate C8, but he cautioned “be careful what you wish for” because a hasty decision could be detrimental. He does not want to see a “rush to [arrive at] a number that doesn’t protect people.” 60350305 �The Daily Sentinel TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 Sports mdssports@heartlandpublications.com GAHS and PPHS compete at Cabell Midland CC Invite Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com ONA, W.Va — The Point Pleasant and Gallia Academy cross country teams traveled to Cabell Midland High School Saturday for the sixth annual GEICO Classic Cross Country Invitational.

Lauron | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5) runs around the Miami (Ohio) defense in the second quarter at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, September 1, 2012. Ohio State prevailed, 56-10. Miller makes Meyer’s debut a winner, 56-10 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Devin Smith made the catch of his life to finally light the fuse for Urban Meyer’s shiny new offense. Then Braxton Miller took over and Ohio State’s first game with its new coach turned into one long party for the Buckeyes. Miller rushed for 161 yards, a record for an Ohio State quarterback, running for one touchdown and throwing for two more on Saturday to lead the way to a 56-10 victory over Miami (Ohio). But it was Smith’s leaping, twisting one-handed grab in the end zone that jump-started the Buckeyes. “That was a moment that ignited the stadium,” Meyer said. “The stadium got quiet, our sideline got quiet — we were waiting for a play to happen. And he went up and made a play.” With the Buckeyes trailing 3-0 early in the second quarter, Smith’s spectacular reception turned the game around. Taking over at their own 17 after a punt, the Buckeyes needed just four plays to cover the distance and take the lead for good. Miller used a play-action fake to freeze the defense before hitting Corey Brown for a 38-yard gain to the Miami 23. Miller then threw high and hard into the right corner of the end zone where Smith leaped in front of defender Dayonne Nunley, snagged the ball with his right hand and pulled it in as he crashed to the ground. “It looked like it was going out of bounds. I just stuck my hand up there and caught it,” Smith said. “When we lined up, Braxton looked at me and shook his head like, ‘Let’s go!’ And then we made the play.” If the highlight-reel reception ignited the Buckeyes, Miller took it from there. After the offense mustered only 48 yards in the first quarter it rolled to 297 in the second and then never slowed down. Miller transformed the game into a rout. He stutter-stepped a defender for a 65-yard score just 17 seconds into the second half. In addition to his 161 yards on 17 carries, he ended up 14-of-24 passing for 207 yards. He also had a 5-yard scoring pass to Corey Brown. “One of the things about Braxton Miller that I really had to see and that I did see today is that (he went from) an athlete playing quarterback to a quarterback who manages (the game),” Meyer said. “He has to manage basically the entire offense, he’s got to stay positive, he has to be a leader — and he showed that.” Miller scored just 17 seconds into the second half, juking and then speeding past the Redhawks’ D.J. Brown down the left sideline. “I was just trying to get away from a guy,” Miller said. Miami coach Don Treadwell was impressed by what he saw. “He’s an exceptional athlete,” he said. “Most of the times you can get a guy like that in space one on one, you’re probably going to take those chances.” Moments after Miller’s long run, a high snap tipped off the fingertips of Miami punter Zac Murphy, with Bradley Roby winning a scrum in the end zone for the touchdown and a 35-3 lead. That wasn’t the end of the Buckeyes’ big performers. Travis Howard had two interceptions and Carlos Hyde scored on 4- and 8-yard runs for Ohio State. Miller and Hyde, who had 82 yards on 17 carries, helped the Buckeyes roll up 294 yards on the ground and 244 through the air. The first quarter — four punts in as many possessions — seemed like a rewind of spring practice, when Meyer said the offense’s fits and starts looked like “a clown show.” “We came out slow, but once we got on a roll we got going,” Hyde said. “It was exciting once we started to put it all together.” The RedHawks also bumbled their way through the early going. Zac Dysert, who completed 31 of 53 passes for 303 yards and one touchdown with the two interceptions, was victimized by dropped throws again and again. Three times it appeared the RedHawks had a first down after a catch when the ball abruptly came loose. “We should have scored a couple of touchdowns early but it didn’t happen,” said Dysert, whom Meyer called a future NFL quarterback. “Those are plays you’ve got to make.” See MILLER ‌| 8 Paul Boggs | Submitted Photo Southern senior Kody Wolfe runs at the Wellston CC Invitational on August 25th.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com �Tuesday, September 4, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com Rio volleyball wins Briefs home opener Wahama Athletic HOF meeting Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande volleyball team jumped to a quick lead and never looked back, rolling to a 3-0 (25-14, 28-26, 2514) win over Lourdes University, Friday night, at the Newt Oliver Arena. With the win, the RedStorm rebounded from a season-opening setback at the University of Northwestern Ohio on Wednesday night. Rio blew open the first set with 10 consecutive points to snap a 10-10 tie and appeared on its way to an easy win in set two, taking a 24-17 lead. Lourdes (4-7) stormed back, though, once it got the serve following a hitting error by the RedStorm and Chelsea Haas reeled off seven straight winners to give the Gray Wolves a 25-24 lead. Rio finally regained the lead at 27-26 thanks to a kill by senior outside hitter Whitney Smith and the RedStorm secured the set thanks to a Lourdes hitting error on the ensuing serve. Set three also proved close for a while, with Rio holding just a 13-9 edge midway through. Junior defensive specialist Nicole Ogg fired off seven consecutive service winners, the final two of which were punctuated by Smith kills, to give the RedStorm a 21-9 lead. The Gray Wolves got no closer than 11 the rest of the way. Smith led Rio Grande with 11 kills, while senior libero Lauren Raines added 16 digs and freshman middle blocker Alex Phillips finished with seven blocks. Junior setters Kelsey Martin and Kayla Landaker had 15 and 13 assists, respectively. Katie McKenty led Lourdes with 15 kills, while Michi Jiminez added 17 assists and 18 digs. Rio Grande will host Union (Ky. ) and Cincinnati Christian on Saturday, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. Lourdes will face Union (Ky.) at 9 a.m. and Cincinnati Christian at 11 a.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Miller’s rushing total eclipsed the previous record of 146 yards set by Cornelius Greene against Wisconsin in 1974. “This is a different type of offense,” Miller said. “You expect big yards in this type of offense.” Meyer, who won two national titles at Florida, is unbeaten in 11 season openers. He had worked as a TV analyst a year ago after stepping down from the Gators job due to health and family considerations. Meyer took over a battered program that was nailed by suspensions and NCAA investigations last year while going 6-7 last year, the program’s first losing record since 1988. As a result of NCAA violations committed under the Jim Tressel regime, the Buckeyes are banned from playing in a bowl game after the season. After all the program had been through, Meyer was hoping for the best. It just took a little longer than he might have expected. “I just wanted it to be a good day for Ohio State football,” he said. “And I believe it was.” Wolfe From Page 6 James Jackson, who finished 27th with a time of 20:07.0.

Football officials meeting Rollins hits 3-run homer as Phillies beat Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Jimmy Rollins hit a three-run homer off Johnny Cueto during a cloudburst that sent fans scurrying for cover on Monday, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. John Mayberry Jr. added a solo homer off Cueto (17-7), who failed in his attempt to become the majors’ first 18-game winner. Cueto also lost a day game for the first time this season — he’d been 11-0 in 13 afternoon starts. Rollins’ 17th homer made it 3-1 in the fifth inning, when Cueto had trouble keeping his cleats clean on the muddy mound. It was Rollins’ 1,999th career hit. Rookie right-hander Tyler Cloyd (1-1) got his first major league hit and win. He singled ahead of Rollins’ homer to extend the inning. The 25-year- old pitcher gave up four hits, including Jay Bruce’s 30th homer, and struck out nine in seven innings. Jonathan Papelbon warmed up before the ninth, only a few hours after he gave up a threerun homer to Chipper Jones that sent the Braves to an 8-7 win in Atlanta. Instead of the Phillies closer, righthander Phillippe Aumont came on to start the inning and gave up Bruce’s two-out, RBI single while getting his first major league save. The Reds returned from a 5-1 road trip that gave them control of the NL Central. The next chore was to move Cueto one win closer to 20 victories, a mark no Cincinnati pitcher has reached since Danny Jackson in 1988. Cueto allowed only a pair of singles through the first four innings. Miscellaneous Steven Lerud and Cloyd had two-out singles in the fifth, when the remnant of Hurricane Isaac brought a short burst of rain. Cueto walked around the infield, trying to clear the mud from his cleats between batters. Rollins hit the first pitch into the right field stands, ending Cueto’s streak of no more than two runs allowed in any of his last four starts. The grounds crew came out and spread a drying material around the mound. Mayberry extended his hitting streak to five games with his 14th homer an inning later. It was only the second time this season that Cueto gave up two homers in a game, and only the fifth time in 28 starts that he allowed four or more runs. Cloyd gave up Bruce’s homer in the second in- ning, then allowed only one other runner to reach second base. Cloyd has taken the rotation spot of Vance Worley, out for the rest of the season with an elbow injury. Notes: The Reds will promote RH Todd Redmond and RH Pedro Villarreal from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. … Manager Dusty Baker said players getting September call-ups shouldn’t expect to play much right away. “Right now, these kids here are here to help us,” Baker said. “It’s not like last year when they were here to see what they could do. If we do clinch this thing, then I could play them some.” … Only three Phillies have reached the 2,000-hit mark — Mike Schmidt (2,234), Richie Ashburn (2,217) and Ed Delahanty (2,207). … Ryan Howard had a 13-pitch at-bat against Cueto in the fourth before grounding out. �Tuesday , sepTember 4, 2012 Tuesday, September 4, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 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 Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012: This year you often feel as though you cannot get certain elements of your life under control.

(AP) — A white towel draped over his shoulder, the new Penn State coach in the white polo shirt donned headphones to communicate with his assistants in the press box as he paced the sideline. These are now Bill O’Brien’s Nittany Lions — and they are off to a disappointing start. In front of 97,000 vocal fans eager to just watch football again, Penn State let an 11-point halftime lead slip away and Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton accounted for three second-half touchdowns to hand O’Brien a 24-14 loss in his coaching debut. “I thought it was a great atmosphere in the stands,” O’Brien said before stoically taking responsibility for the loss. “Again, it starts with me and coaching better and making sure we play better next time.” For many fans, just watching a game at Beaver Stadium represented a small victory following a trying offseason that included the death of former coach Joe Paterno, and crippling NCAA sanctions placed on the program for the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. “We are … Penn State,” the anxious crowd roared in the fourth quarter, even in the final minutes with defeat assured. It was the first loss to open a season for Penn State since falling 33-7 to Miami in 2001. “It got everyone back together,” fan Lisa Weller, 48, of Charlotte, N.C., referring to the team and the massive Penn State fan base, said about Saturday’s game. “Everyone is going to move forward.’ Matt McGloin threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns guiding Penn State’s new-look offense. There were some other changes, too: players’ names on the backs of the uniforms, and blue ribbons on the back of the helmets to show support for victims of child sexual abuse. Long a model for stability, the scandal lurched the program into a rebuilding project no one expected a year ago. Now Penn State is playing without someone named Paterno on the sideline for the first time since 1949. The late Hall of Famer arrived in Happy Valley as an assistant in 1950 and took over as head coach in 1966. The man known in these parts as “JoePa” stayed on the job for 46 seasons before his firing last November days after Sandusky, his former defensive coordinator, was arrested. Paterno’s widow, Sue Paterno, watched the game from a stadium suite. Paterno died in January, and as part of his employment agreement the family got use of the suite for 25 years. O’Brien took over in January after serving as offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. From his first day on the job, he promised to stay focused on the present and the future of Penn State football. O’Brien spent much of the afternoon pacing the same sideline that Paterno once walked with his trademark khakis and jet-black sneakers. With the towel, the new coach sported a look reminiscent of Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson. Even in defeat, Saturday was a huge first step. “We were obviously emotional,” guard John Urschel said. “We’ve been extremely excited to get back to playing football, but at the same time, we managed our emotions once the game got going. We got back into football mode, just playing the game.” Ohio coach Frank Solich knew Saturday would be unlike an average game day. “We knew that we were going to have to take on a surge. That surge would come from their fans, come from their players, the atmosphere. We knew it would be a difficult atmosphere to play in,” Solich said. “What we told them is, ‘We just have to keep pounding fellas. This is a game that’s going to be a fourquarter football game.’” McGloin was 27 for 48 passing — both career-highs — with one interception, while sophomore Allen Robinson had a nice debut as the No. 1 wideout with nine catches on 97 yards. But the pesky Bobcats weren’t the typical season-opening pushover for Penn State. “I thought there was some definite good out there,” O’Brien said. “But we’ve got to be able to string plays together, and coaching on offense, it starts with me … When the defense is on the field, we’ve got to get stops.” Trailing 14-3 at halftime, Tettleton hit Landon Smith on a 43-yard touchdown pass that had first tipped off the hands of Penn State defensive back Stephen Obeng-Agyapong with 10:40 in the third quarter. Tettleton scampered in from a yard out to take a 17-14 lead almost seven minutes later. Tettleton finished 31 of 41 passing for 324 yards and two scores, and added 47 yards and a score on nine carries on the ground. Beau Blankenship had 109 yards on 31 carries. Penn State’s front seven — thought to be the strength of the team — got dented by Ohio’s fastpaced offense. Warm, humid conditions also seemed to tire players, and cornerback Stephon Morris later left with an ankle injury. “I think the line was able to take control of the game. I think we wore them down a little bit,” Solich said. “I think maybe our pace took a toll and did help us in the game.” Freshmen and other new faces played key roles all over the field for Penn State, necessitated in part by some transfers following the NCAA sanctions and other offseason departures. A huge cheer erupted after freshman linebacker Nyeem Wartman burst up the middle to block an Ohio punt that Penn State recovered at the Bobcats 18. Wartman was one of four freshmen to debut Saturday. Three plays later, junior tight end Matt Lehman, playing his first game, nearly lost his footing along the sideline before bursting into the end zone for a 14-yard score and a 14-3 lead. An offense that used a lot of no-huddle looked OK without 1,200-rusher Silas Redd and receiver Justin Brown, who elected to transfer following the NCAA penalties. But McGloin and the offense went scoreless after halftime and second-half defense hurt Penn State. A missed tackle by safety Malcolm Willis helped Smith get free for a 31-yard gain to the Penn State 5 on third-and-2 with less than four minutes left, one of several key thirddown conversations for the Bobcats. Tettleton’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Donte Foster in the corner of the end zone with 2:55 left put an exclamation point on Ohio’s first win over a Big Ten opponent since a 20-17 victory over Illinois in 2006. Ohio returned eight starters on defense, while Tettleton is one of the MAC’s top quarterbacks after setting 12 new school records last season. Richardson practices, could play in Browns’ opener BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson has practiced with the Browns. All that’s left is for him to play. Cleveland’s rookie running back returned to practice Monday for the first time since undergoing knee surgery on Aug. 9, a strong sign he will play in Sunday’s season opener at home against Philadelphia. With his dreadlocks flowing out of his orange helmet, Richardson took some snaps with Cleveland’s firstteam offense during the portion of practice open to the media. He had a black rubber sleeve on his repaired left knee, which has been operated on twice since he helped Alabama win a national championship in January. After the workout on a warm, humid morning, Browns coach Pat Shurmur sounded optimistic about Richardson’s chances of facing the Eagles. “If he’s ready to go, he will be our starter,” Shurmur said. “Trent looked good. He was in team (drills). I knew he’d be out here and he did a good job. It was his first day back in practice, so we did what we could do. Trent looked healthy running around.” Shurmur wouldn’t say when a decision will be made on Richardson making his pro debut . “Each person is different when they come back from injury,” he said. “We’ll see as we go. All along I’ve been hopeful that he’d be there.’ The Browns will have their only practice in full pads this week on Thursday, when they will work primarily on short-yardage situations. Richardson missed Cleveland’s four ex- hibition games and it will be important for him to take some hits before getting on the field against Philadelphia. Richardson was not available for comment. A team spokesman said the 22-yearold will likely speak with reporters Wednesday. The No. 3 overall pick in April’s draft, Richardson had been doing rehab, including some light contact work, behind the scenes since his operation. After stretching with his teammates, Richardson was taking part in some passing drills when Shurmur pulled him close for a brief chat, perhaps reminding his young star not to overdo it. Moments later, running backs coach Gary Brown called out a play and quizzed Richardson about his assignment. “What’s the key on the chip (block),” Brown asked before complimenting Richardson for answering correctly. With low expectations for a team featuring 15 rookies and facing a brutal schedule, the Browns will need Richardson to take on a heavy workload this season. But because he missed so much time during the preseason, they will likely limit his carries in the first few weeks. However, once Richardson is rolling, Browns cornerback Joe Haden said there may be no slowing him down. “He can be as good as he wants to be,” Haden said. “He can definitely be an AllPro. He has everything you need to be a good running back. He’s big, he can catch, he can pass block and he’s an every-down back.” John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $850!
