Poling, 91 Dixie Smith, 92 Chuck Wood, Sr., 57 Murder trial continues in Gallia County Defense expected to begin its argument Tuesday Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — Testimony continued on Friday during day five of the trial in the case against a man charged in the February murder of a Morgan Township woman. Lee A. Hawkins, 48, Bidwell, stands accused of the strangulation death of Betsy Ball, 67, at her residence on February 29 and the subsequent rape and disposal of her body at a nearby farm. The prosecution lead by Assistant Gallia County Prosecutors Eric Mulford and Britt Wiseman called three expert witnesses to the stand on Friday to testify before the jury on their involvement in the case. Special Agent Stephanie Russell Herron, a crime scene investigator with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI), was the first to take the stand. Herron assisted fellow forensic scientist Special Agent Shane Hanshaw in processing evidence found at the Ball residence at 75 Wilder Road, as well as on the farm on Piper Road where her body was found on March 1. Hawkins, who worked for the Balls as a farm hand, was arrested on March 13 in connection with the murder and subsequently pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated murder, murder, tampering with evidence and the gross abuse of a corpse. The defendant has remained in the Gallia County Jail since his arrest in March. During her testimony on Friday, Special Agent Herron outlined her role in photographing and collecting evidence, including fingerprints and DNA samples, at both crime scenes. During cross examination by attorney for the defense, Barbara Wallen, Herron reported that she arrived at the Ball residence at approximately 7 a.m. on March 1 and traveled to Piper Road that afternoon to assist in the examination of the body. Upon questioning by Wallen, Herron also stated that she was not present when either scene was secured by local law enforcement, nor was she aware of what occurred at the two locations prior to her arrival. Forensic Scientist Heather Williams, a firearm and tool mark examiner at BCI — experts who often also examine tire impressions — reported on her involvement in examining the cast of tire tracks taken from the Piper Road location, the markings found on the victim’s jacket and the her efforts to compare these tracks with the tires of the suspect’s vehicle. According to Williams the partial impressions found at the scene showed similarities in tread size See TRIAL ‌| 3 Gallia Sheriff responds to report of shots being fired One brother allegedly fires AR-15 rifle at other Stephanie M.

See GONE ‌| 3 Alleged Gonzalez ‘shooter’ asks for new attorneys Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — The man who law enforcement alleges pulled the trigger and killed Rene Gonzalez of Gallipolis Ferry has asked the court to appoint new attorneys in his case. Steven L. Adkins, Jr. 26, Apple Grove, recently appeared in Mason County Circuit Court via video teleconferencing from the Western Regional Jail. Adkins requested his court-appointed attorneys Rebecca S. Johnson and Pancho Morris be replaced. Judge David W. Nibert has been presiding over the case and granted Adkins’ request, though with caution to the defendant. Nibert’s order, filed recently in the office of Mason County Circuit Clerk Bill Withers, states Adkins had formed a belief that his counsel were conspiring to cause him to be convicted. The order also says Adkins was refusing to cooperate with his counsel. Nibert responded by saying he had presided over cases wherin both Johnson and Morris had represented defendants for a number of years. He said each attorney is able counsel who “zealously represent their clients.” Nibert went on to write, “even if the defendant believes counsel are not representing his interest, he is incorrect.” In other words, as the judge put it, the attorneys “would not participate in any activities, conspiracy or otherwise, that would be contrary to the best interest of their client.” Though Nibert found no grounds existed to replace counsel for Adkins, he stated circumstances presently exist where Adkins will not communicate with counsel. Due to this refusal to communicate, Nibert granted Adkins’ request though cautioned if Adkins continued to refuse to participate with counsel, any new requests to change counsel would not be granted. Nibert wrote, “defendant’s refusal to communicate with and cooperate with his new attorney would indicate to the court there is no reason to believe that the defendant would communicate with any counsel.” Therefore, Nibert appointed Bryan Escue and Elizabeth Sunyog as Adkins’ new attorneys. Also, there is a status conference on the Adkins case scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Oct. 18 in Mason County Circuit Court. See SHOOTER ‌| 3 MORGAN TWP — Just ten days after a domestic violence call resulted in the shooting of a Gallipolis law enforcement officer, the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office was again faced with a call allegedly involving a firearm late Thursday night. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, deputies responded to a residence in Morgan Township at approximately 10 p.m. Thursday following a call reporting a domestic dispute in which gun shots were fired. Two of the men involved in the incident were brothers, according to Browning. The dispute allegedly took a violent turn when one brother, Shannon Wolford, brandished and discharged a firearm on the scene. “One brother allegedly fired shots from an AR-15 rifle at the other,” said Browning in a statement to The Gallipolis Daily Tribune. In addition to the 9-1-1 caller’s report of a discharged weapon, Browning said that Gallia County 9-1-1 dispatch claimed they could hear gunfire during the emergency call. However, according to Browning, no weapon had been discovered at the scene as of midnight. Wolford was then taken into custody on charges of domestic violence and menacing. Further charges are pending the case review of the county prosecutor.

The job fair is open to anyone — not just those in Meigs County — looking for employment or post secondary opportunities. Theresa Lavender, assistant program administrator at the Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services, encouraged those attending to “dress to impress” as some employers attending the job fair will be looking to hire right away. All those attending the job fair are encouraged to bring resumes to give to employers and to be prepared for interviews to take place that day. Some of the local high schools will also be bringing students to the job fair, giving them the opportunity to meet with potential employers and post secondary education institutions. Employers and post secondary schools will be coming from around the region to meet with potential employees and students.

I Once you get him past the panic didn’t hurt my son, but he did sulk for a while. What do you think of all this? — R.L. Dear R.L.: People seem to be much more willing to step up and speak out today when it comes to physical discipline in public. Those who are brave enough not only will comment on your actions or give you a dirty look, but might even videotape the whole incident and post it on YouTube or send it to child protective services. It’s enough to make most people think twice before laying a hand on their children. Yet researchers studying the issue at Michigan State University were recently surprised by the amount of physical correction by caregivers at public places. So you are far from alone. But it might be a good time to rethink things. In the study of more than 100 discipline interactions with children 3 to 5 years old, nearly a quarter of caregivers were observed giving “negative touches.” Those who gave positive touches, such as hugging and patting, were able to get the children to comply more often and more promptly, without sulking afterward. Although the stereotype is that dads are the disciplinarians, the fathers were particularly good at this positive approach. Next time, keep this study in mind before you grab an arm, and try a hug instead. It will get better results, you won’t get dirty looks and your children will think you’re cool instead of hoping you don’t hurt them. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Trial From Page 1 and tread design to the tires that were found on the Ford pickup truck owned by the victim and impounded by the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office during their investigation of the murder. During cross examination, Wallen requested that Williams read a portion of the report of her findings to the jury. “These findings indicate that the partial impressions may have been made by the tires mounted on the Ford pickup truck,” Williams read. “However, the lack of individual characteristics precludes any conclusive determination of identity.” Wallen then questioned Williams’ findings from her examination of the tires. “So, your test is basically not conclusive, am I correct?” “It is inconclusive for positive identification, yes,” Herron answered. A BCI forensic scientist in the latent print section, Robin Roggenbeck, was the next to take the stand on Friday morning. Roggenbeck discussed three latent prints — or prints not readily visible — that were lifted from the passenger side door and hood of a Subaru found inside the Ball’s garage by crime scene investigators. The garage attached to the Ball resident is believed to be the site of the murder. Roggenbeck reported that the defendant could be positively identified as the source of the two sets of prints lifted from the front passenger door of the vehicle, however, a palm print lifted from the hood of the vehicle was not a match. According to Roggenbeck, the left little, left ring, left middle and left index fingerprints from the first set of prints and the right ring and right little finger from the second set of prints were both positive matches to the fingerprint card bearing the name of Lee A. Hawkins. During questioning by Wallen, Roggenbeck reported that there is no way to determine the length of time a print will last on any particular surface. “We can’t determine how long a print can remain on a surface. It depends on the external environment and other conditions, but, yes, it could remain on surface for a very long time,” she stated. Roggenbeck further stated that, in this case, a time frame for when the prints were made by Hawkins could not determined. “There’s no way to determine when the fingerprint is made by the testing that is performed, am I correct?” Wallen asked. “In this particular case, no, I could not determine a time,” Roggenbeck answered. Wallen also pointed to the fact that the third sample, the source of the palm print taken from the hood of the vehicle could not positively be identified. “The palm print did have sufficient ridge detail for comparison or elimination but did not match the known palm prints of card bearing the name of Lee Hawkins,” Roggenbeck said. “That was the only available record that I had to make a comparison to.” In his redirect, prosecuting attorney Britt Wiseman reiterated that there were, in fact, six prints that matched the defendant as their source. “There were six distinct fingerprints that matched the defendant Lee Hawkins on the Subaru vehicle from which these prints were lifted, correct?” he asked. “That’s correct,” Roggenbeck answered. Hannah Cox was the last BCI forensic scientist to testify on Friday. Cox discussed her work in the forensic biology section of BCI and her examination of evidence from this case for the possible presence of biological or bodily fluids. Cox reported that she positively identified the presence of trace amounts of seminal fluid on a towel that was found near the victim’s body on Piper Road, as well as the presence of semen on samples taken from Ball’s body. Additionally, a positive color change test on the towel indicated the possible presence of blood on that item. “In this particular case, after swabbing some of the staining that was on this towel, I saw that color change. That color change can also occur from other fluids besides blood — from different fluids found in nature, different plants and, also, rust,” she stated. “It could be, but I’m not saying conclusively that it is blood.” Cox also reported that she did not perform any analysis on the samples she examined, but forwarded the samples on to a DNA specialist who examined the evidence further. During cross examination, Cox stated that she had received and examined evidence in this case that did not contain traces of blood or bodily fluids. “There were items that were submitted that contained no blood or bodily fluids that were identified, correct?” “Correct,” Cox answered. “Specifically, the front seat cover from a Ford Pickup truck was submitted and nothing was found on that seat cover, am I correct?” Wallen asked. “I did not find any semen or stains for analysis on that item,” she answered. Cox also stated no evidence was found on two buttons that were also submitted for testing. The case against Lee Hawkins will continue at 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday in the Gallia County Common Pleas Court. The state is expected to present its final witness on Tuesday with the defense beginning its case thereafter. Shooter From Page 1 Most recently in the Gonzalez case, Matthew C. Woods, 25, Gallipolis Ferry, pleaded guilty to second degree murder as part of a plea agreement. Woods, along with Chad W. McCallister, 30, Apple Grove, and Adkins, were charged in the July 2011 murder of Gonzalez. Woods agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge, second degree murder, which basically removes the deliberate element of first degree murder. He also agreed to cooperate with the prosecution by providing “truthful testimony” in relation to the other two men charged in the murder indictment. McCallister’s trial is set for Dec. 11 and there has been no trial date set for Adkins at this point.

There are no guarantees that we will continue to be a free and respectful society if we continue down the same path we have already come, ignoring our spiritual and political responsibilities, and falsely believing that all will be well for the future of our children and grandchildren. President Barack Obama and his liberal administration have continually pushed this country toward financial and moral decline. On his third day in office, President Obama nullified the pro-life “Mexico City Policy”, making organizations that perform and promote abortion as a method of family planning overseas, eligible for U.S. foreign aid funds. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) into law, which will provide funding for health plans that pay for abortion on demand, and will lead to the rationing of lifesaving medical treatments. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius already issued rules requiring all insurers, including selfinsured churches, to provide, free of charge, all birth control devices, even those that cause abortions. A person enrolled in an abortioncovering plan cannot opt out of paying the “abortion surcharge” even if she is opposed to abortion. (wvforlife.org) Where is the respect for the First Amendment? Do we want an “Independent Payment Advisory Board” (IPAB) telling you and your doctor what health care you can get and how expensive it can be? (even if you are willing to pay for it yourself) Sad to say, our own WV Senator Joe Manchin, whom I once trusted to stand by the unborn, voted on February 2, 2011 against repealing ObamaCare. On April 24, 2011, Senator Manchin voted against blocking funding of ObamaCare. Again on April 14, 2011, Senator Manchin voted to continue giving our tax dollars to abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood, the largest provider and promoter of abortions in the country. Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in 2009. Is this what West Virginians elected Joe Manchin to do? I don’t think so. Does this record reflect the wishes of West Virginians? Certainly not mine. Mitt Romney stated that ObamaCare will violate that crucial first principle of medicine: “do no harm.” He believes that ObamaCare must be repealed. (Statement on Mitt Romney’s website) Mitt Romney also said “I will support efforts to prohibit federal funding for any organization like Planned Parenthood, which primarily performs abortions or offers abortion-related services.” John Raese stated, “If elected to the U.S. Senate, I would immediately introduce legislation to repeal ObamaCare!” Another quote by John Raese was “The Federal Government should never fund an organization such as Planned Parenthood! Planned Parenthood would and should be defunded permanently.” It’s up to the voters to decide which way we want our country to go. However, if we do not get registered and vote, then a small number of people who do vote, will make the decisions for us whether they represent our beliefs or not and our children and grandchil- Reader Services Our main numbers are: Tribune • Gallipolis, OH (740) 446-2342 Sentinel • Pomeroy, OH (740) 992-2155 Register • Pt.

George Grate George Grate, 81, of Rutland, died on Saturday, October IRS urges Ohio tax return preparers to test competency COLUMBUS — The Internal Revenue Service today urged 10,000 Ohio tax return preparers to immediately schedule their competency test or risk difficulty finding a date, time or location as the exam deadline nears next year. For most, the appropriate test will be the Registered Tax Return Preparer (RTRP) competency test. The RTRP test has been available since November 2011. Nationwide, more than 310,000 tax return preparers still need to pass the test before Dec. 31, 2013. Tax professionals who are Enrolled Agents (EAs), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), and attorneys are exempt from the test, as are certain nonsigning preparers and those who do not prepare the Form 1040 series. The RTRP test is being administered by Prometric, Inc., which has 260 testing sites nationwide, to include sites in metropolitan Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Akron, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown. However, if too many preparers delay, available seats will be scarce. The test is one phase of a multi-year effort by the IRS to increase oversight of the tax professional industry and help ensure minimal competency levels among those who are paid tax return preparers. More than 60 percent of taxpayers use a tax preparer. Under the new rules, all professional tax return preparers must register with the IRS, obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN), and adhere to ethical standards. Certain preparers must also pass the new test and complete 15 hours of continuing education each year. For these preparers the IRS created a new credential: Registered Tax Return Preparer. Starting Jan. 1, 2014, only Registered Tax Return Preparers, EAs, CPAs and attorneys will be authorized to prepare and sign individual tax returns. There are nearly 25,000 return preparers from Ohio who have obtained PTINs from the IRS. To date, about 630 Ohio preparers have taken the test and become credentialed Registered Tax Return Preparers. About 14,400 of the remaining 24,000-plus PTINholding return preparers are tax professionals who are exempt from the test, leaving some 10,000 who must still pass the RTRP test. The test is a 2.5-hour, timed exam. It must be taken at a Prometric site for control purposes. There are 120 questions which cover Form 1040 tax preparation issues, individual tax law issues and ethics. Preparers must pay $116 fee for the exam. CPAs, EAs and attorneys already must pass tests for their credentials. “This is another step in the process of registering and ensuring the competency of tax return preparers,” said Jennifer Jenkins, IRS media relations spokesperson for Ohio. “Currently, all tax return preparers are required to obtain and regularly renew their PTIN, plus earn continuing education credits. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, return preparers will be required to have passed an IRS competency test or the testing required for CPAs or attorneys. Return preparers who do not pass the appropriate test will not be permitted to prepare returns as of Jan. 1, 2014.” Next year, the IRS will launch a public listing for taxpayers and others to confirm preparers with professional credentials and valid PTINs. To learn more about the test or to begin the scheduling process, preparers should go to www.irs.gov/taxpros/tests. HOT DEAL 6, 2012, at his residence.

Throughout October, the agencies will provide tips on reducing energy costs as well as more information on energy assistance programs. “As we recognize Energy Awareness month, we encourage all Ohioans to find ways to increase their energy efficiency,” said Christiane Schmenk, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. “Using our energy resources more efficiently reduces the impact on our energy systems and our wallets.” During October, Ohioans are encouraged to review how they use energy in their homes and offices. Installing programmable thermostats; turning things off when not in a room such as lights, TVs, entertainment systems and computer; and washing only full loads of dishes and clothes are just a few ways to increase your energy efficiency. For Ohioans needing assistance in managing their energy costs, programs such as HEAP, HWAP and PIPP Plus are available and more information can be found at http://development.ohio.gov/is/ is_energyassist.htm. For Ohio businesses and communities interested in implementing energy efficiency measures, the Ohio Development Services Agency’s Office of Energy can provide low-interest loans for efficiency and advanced energy projects. More information on the Office of Energy programs can be found at http://www.development.ohio.gov/ bs/bs_energyloanfund.htm. “Energy Awareness month is a perfect opportunity for consumers to explore competitive supplier options for their electricity and natural gas service,” stated PUCO Chairman Todd A. Snitchler. “The PUCO’s Apples to Apples charts allow for a side-by-side comparison of supplier offers, allowing consumers to make informed decisions about their energy consumption.” More information on energy conservation also can be found on the PUCO website, http://www. puco.ohio.gov/puco/index.cfm/ consumer-information/consumertopics/energy-and-water-conservation-tips/. Prescription pills collected in Ohio COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced that Ohioans returned more than nine tons (18,721 pounds) of unneeded prescription drugs last weekend, during the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) fifth national Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office partners with the DEA and other local law enforcement agencies to warn residents about what can happen when pills are taken by those who do not have a prescription. “It only takes one pill to end someone’s life,” said DeWine. “Thanks to excellent community partici- pation in this event, thousands of pills will never get into the wrong hands.” There were 223 collection sites in Ohio. All of the returned pills will be incinerated. “The amount of pills returned by Ohioans is a strong indicator that they care very deeply about disposing of their unneeded prescriptions properly,” said DEA Columbus Group Supervisor Mark McHugh. “We are grateful to every resident in Ohio who took time out of their busy day on Saturday to bring their medications to a drop off location.” Communities in all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, participated in Saturday’s event.

The Lancers (5-2, 4-1 TVC Hocking) began got the ball first and proved that their record was no fluke, scoring on a six yard from Kyle Jackson to Delbert Crum. Wahama (7-0, 6-0) blocked the extra point attempt and trailed 6-0. The White Falcons tied the game up at the 3:08 mark of the first period on a three yard touchdown run by Zach Wamsley. The point after touchdown attempt failed and the score was knotted at six after the first period. WHS senior Crandal Neal broke the tie at the 8:57 mark of the second period with an 18 yard rushing touchdown, putting Wahama up 12-6. The point after attempt again failed and WHS held the 12-6 advantage at halftime. After the half Wamsley broke a 27 yard run for his second score of the game, and Wahama held the 18-6 lead with 5:40 remaining in the third period. Coaltan Neal returned an interception for a touchdown with 6:45 remaining in the game, giving WHS the 24-6 lead. The two point try failed but the White Falcons claimed victory 24-6. Wamsley led Wahama with 102 yards on 23 carries with a pair of scores. Crandal Neal finished with 77 yards on nine carries and one score, while Kane Roush had 46 yards on seven tries.

Alex Hawley l Point Pleasant Register Members of the Southern football team ring the victory bell after the Tornadoes 49-6 homecoming victory over Miller Friday night in Racine Tornadoes maul Miller, 49-6 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE, Ohio — A nice way to spend homecoming. The Southern football team hosted Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Miller Friday night at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field for the Tornadoes homecoming game. SHS compiled 407 yards on its way to a 49-6 win over the visiting Falcons. Miller (1-6, 1-4 TVC Hocking) received the opening kick off and began driving on the Tornadoes (2-5, 2-3), making it down to the SHS 25 yard line before penalties and sacks halted the MHS drive. Southern took possession of the ball for the first time at 5:57 mark of the first period on its own 27 yard line. On the third play of the drive tailback Tyler Barton took the ball off of the right tackle and through the Miller defense for a 52 yard touchdown run. On a fake field goal play Trenton Deem completed the pass to Dennis Teaford for the twopoint conversion, putting the purple and gold on top 8-0 at the 4:38 mark of the first. Just three plays into the Falcons’ next drive Garrett Sinift’s pass was intercepted by Southern freshman Tyler O’Conner, who returned it 27 yards for the touchdown. Deem added the extra point kick, putting SHS up 15-0 at the 3:28 mark of the first. After forcing a three-andout the Tornadoes offense came back on the field with 1:10 remaining in the first period.

Blue Devils blast Portsmouth on Homecoming, 49-21 Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Now that’s taking care of business. Gallia Academy racked up 429 yards of total offense, recorded seven sacks and had four different players score at least once Friday night during a 49-21 throttling of visiting Portsmouth in a Week 7 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup at Memorial Field. The Blue Devils (5-2, 2-0 SEOAL) celebrated Homecoming in fashionable style, as the hosts rallied back from an early 7-0 deficit by scoring six consecutive touchdowns over a 16-minute span to take a 42-7 advantage early in the third period. The visiting Trojans (1-6, 0-2) responded with back-toback scores to pull within 42-21 at the end of the third quarter, but they never came closer the rest of the way. GAHS tacked on its final TD of the night early in the fourth to wrap up the 28-point decision. Gallia Academy rushed 27 times for six touchdowns and 352 yards, and the hosts added another score with 77 yards through the air — all of which are impressive numbers on the offensive side of the ball. But early on, it was PHS that looked like an offensive juggernaut. After Wade Jarrell was picked off by Alex Dickerson on the Blue Devils’ opening drive, Portsmouth put together a seven-play, 36-yard scoring drive that ended at the 4:09 mark of the opening stanza after Dicker- son hauled in a 12-yard scoring pass from Brandon Wedebrook for an early 7-0 advantage. Gallia Academy’s next drive stalled and the Blue Devils were about to punt the ball away facing a fourth-and-four, but the Trojans were whistled for an illegal substitution — which gave the hosts a first down. Three plays and 48 yards later, the Blue and White were tied at seven following a 30-yard run to paydirt by Jarrell at the 2:14 mark of the first period. The game was never the same following that penalty. Gallia Academy forced a PHS punt on the ensuing possession, and the hosts needed just one play from scrimmage to take their first lead of the night. Ty Warnimont took a handoff and See DEVILS ‌| B2 Tomcats spoil Eastern homecoming Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS — Five turnovers by the hosts resulted in three of Trimble’s six scores in Friday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division homecoming game at East Shade River Stadium. Neither Eastern (4-3, 4-2 TVC Hocking) or Trimble (6-1, 5-1) gained a first down in the first two series, with Eastern moving the ball down field with a steady running game on its third possession. Quarterback Joey Scowden lead the Eastern offense on an 11 play drive from the Eastern 30 yard line to the Trimble 16 yard line, but a fourth and one yard to go running play did not gain the needed yardage sending the ball back to the Tomcats. An 84 yard pass from Austin Downs to Wyatt Deak on an option play gave the Tomcats there first touchdown of the night. The extra point kick by Jon Stevens secured the 7-0 advantage for the guests with 25 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Eastern would not gain a first down on its next possession, punting the ball back to the Tomcats. Trimble took less than three minutes to reach the end zone for a second time, scoring on a fourth down pass play from the 32 yard line. Quarterback Konner Standley connected with Deak for the score. The extra point kick was no good, resulting in a 13-0 lead for Trimble. The Eagles once again moved the ball into Trimble territory midway through the second quarter. Joey Scowden’s pass was intercepted by Deak at the Trimble eight yard line giving the guests the ball back with 6:18 remaining in the first half. A 12 play drive by Trimble moved that ball into Eastern territory before stalling at the Eastern 42 yard line where Eastern regained possession after a failed fourth down conversion. With more than half the field to go and time running out the Eagles turned to the passing game. Five consecutive pass plays gave Eastern one first down, but the Eagles could not convert on a fourth down and six with 30 seconds remaining in the half. Trimble received the opening kick- off of the second half, but fumbled the ball on a fourth down play to give Eastern the ball at the Eagles 23 yard line. Three plays into the drive Scowden’s pass was intercepted by Jacob Koons. Trimble would capitalize on the turnover, scoring on a three yard run by Casey Degamore. The next possession for the Eagles looked very similar to the previous one, with Koons intercepting the Scowden pass. Trimble once again capitalized on the turnover. Koons scored on an eight yard run with 59 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Trimble would add two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one on a six yard run by Standley, and the second on a 25 yard run by Koons. Trimble fumbled the ball six times in the game, losing the ball only once as a result. The lone fumble lost by the Tomcats was on a punt on the last series of the game. The kick was fumbled by Trimble and recovered by Eastern’s Matthew Durst to give Eastern a first down.

A bad snap on a punt attempt gave GAHS the ball at the Portsmouth 12-yard line, and the hosts needed just three plays to cover that distance for a 21-7 edge. Cody Russell plunged into the endzone from five yards out to cap the drive with 7:11 remaining in the half. After a sack that caused a loss of downs for PHS, Jarrell ran 84 yards to paydirt on the first play of a new drive — giving GAHS a comfortable 28-7 lead with 4:11 left before halftime. Gallia Academy again took over possession at the PHS 40 with just 18 seconds remaining until the break, and Jarrell found Reid Eastman on the receiving end of a 40-yard scoring bomb that gave the hosts a 35-7 lead with 8.8 seconds left until halftime. The Blue Devils held a 266150 edge in total yards at the break, including a whopping 199 rushing yards on just a dozen carries. Both teams also threw an interception in the opening 24 minutes of play. GAHS picked up right where it left off in the second half, as the hosts needed just three plays and 60 seconds to cover 71 yards for its sixth straight scoring drive of the night. Warnimont ran 26 yards to paydirt at the 10:56 mark of the third for a sizable 42-7 advantage. Portsmouth finally ended its scoring drought at the 2:33 mark of the third when Wedebrook found Dickerson on the receiving end of a 21-yard TD pass — capping an eight-play, 73-yard drive to pull the guests to within 42-14. The Trojans forced a punt on the ensuing drive, then marched 18 yards in just two plays to cut the deficit in half at 42-21 with 1.2 seconds left in the third after Johnie Charles rumbled 18 yards to paydirt. The guests never came closer the rest of the way. Jarrell ran for his third and final score of the evening on the opening drive of the fourth quarter, scrambling 30 yards to paydirt with 10:34 remaining in the game for a 49-21 cushion. Jarrell’s scoring run capped a three-play, 54-yard drive that ultimately concluded the scoring. The Blue Devils finished the night plus-1 in turnover differential and increased their winning streak to four straight, while the Trojans dropped their fifth straight overall decision. PHS did claim a 24-15 edge in first downs and was penalized twice for 20 yards, compared to six flags and 60 yards for the hosts. Following the game, GAHS coach Mike Eddy noted that it wasn’t a perfect night for his troops. But then again, his Blue Devils did more than enough to offset a less than perfect performance. “We knew Portsmouth would be tough from the get-go because they have a lot of talent on that football team, regardless of what their record is,” Eddy said. “We always talk about bringing our best effort every week, because there is nobody in this league that you can take for granted. And we had to have a little gutcheck there in the third quarter after we got a comfortable lead. “Overall tonight, we did what we needed to do. These kids are hungry and they want to be champions. We are playing well right now and I am proud of them for that.” Conversely, Portsmouth coach Curt Clifford was more optimistic about his team’s effort in the second half — because there just wasn’t much for the Trojans to focus on in the first half. “At halftime, all I told the kids is that the true measure of a man is what he does when he is down,” Clifford said. “Our kids didn’t quit, and they chose to keep fighting. We have nine starters out because of injury or suspension, but I’m so proud of the kids for continuing to battle. “I want to give credit to Coach (Mike) Eddy and those kids from Gallia Academy. Those guys are one tough football team, and I told our guys that if they wanted to beat Gallia Academy — we would have to match them toughness for toughness. We did a much better job of that in the second half.” Jarrell led the GAHS rushing attack with 191 yards and three scores on seven carries, followed by Warnimont with 95 yards and two scores on three attempts. Nick Clagg had four carries for 35 yards, Luke Pullins added 21 yards on nine totes and Cody Russell had seven yards on three tries. Logan Allison also rushed once for three yards. Jarrell completed 6-of-12 passes for 72 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception. Cody Call was also 1-for-1 for five yards passing. Eastman led the wideouts with one catch for 40 yards and a score, followed by Justin Bailey with one grab for 20 yards. Clagg and Warnimont both had one receptions for five yards, while Russell hauled in a twoyard grab. Johnie Charles paced PHS with 120 rushing yards on 16 carries, while Dickerson added nine yards on four tries. Wedebrook was 17-of-26 passing for 219 yards with two picks and two TD passes, and Dickerson led the receivers with seven grabs for 77 yards and two scores. The GAHS defensive line made Wedebrook’s night a nightmare, sacking the Portsmouth signalcaller seven times for minus-38 yards. Warnimont recorded two sacks, while Mark Allen, Austin Gragg, Briggs Shoemaker, Tyler Byus and Jose Roberts each recorded one sack. Justin Bailey and Cody Russell each came away with one interception for the hosts. Dickerson had the lone takeaway for PHS on a first quarter interception. Both kickers were perfect on extra-point attempts. Dylan Saunders was 7-for-7 on the night for GAHS, while Zach Delotell was 3-for-3 for the Trojans. Gallia Academy will begin a two-game road trip starting next Friday when the Blue Devils travel to Vincent for a Week 8 SEOAL matchup against Warren. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. From Page B2 Joey Scowden led the hosts with 62 yards in the air and 70 yards on the ground in the game. Alex Amos led all Eastern receivers with 40 yards on three catches. Zach Scowden had one catch for 13 yards, Max Carnahan had one catch for nine yards, and Ethan Nottingham had one catch for no gain. On the ground, Nottingham had eight yards, Triston Goodnite added six yards, Daschle Facemyer had one yard, Chase Cook had one carry for no gain, and Carnahan had two carries for a negative five yards. Trimble was led by Standley with 78 yards passing and 62 yards rushing in the contest. Downs added 84 yards in the air. Koons had 61 yards rushing, Bryce Smathers added 55 yards, and Degamore had three yards. Deak led the Trimble receivers with 116 yards. Downs added 29 yards, Terry Simerly had eight yards and Koons had nine yards. The loss snaps Eastern’s three game winning streak, while the victory extends Trimble’s winning streak to five.

Southern’s drive that took 1:26 off the clock was capped off by Deem’s extra point kick. Southern was driving again just before the half but an ineligible man down field cost Southern another score. The Tornadoes led 36-0 at halftime. Southern got the ball after the half and picked up right where the offense left off before halftime. Five straight handoffs to Tyler Barton to begin the drive had the Miller defense up in the box. Wolfe rolled out of the pocket on third down from the 27 yard line and found Deem on a curl route near the left side line.

Despite a second straight halftime lead, the Big Blacks were defeated on the road by the Oak Hill Red Devils by a score of 34-14. The Big Blacks struggled containing Oak Hill star running back Jalen Jones all night long but mostly in the second half. Jones, who already had over 1,000 yards on the season, continued his big season with 312 yards rushing. Despite the big total, Jones was mostly contained in the first half outside of two big runs, but it was the two nonscoring drives of the Big Blacks that hurt the most. Point was driving in the final minutes of the half and set up for a field goal with less than a minute left and missed the field goal. Point would get the ball first after the half, drive the length of the field, and come away with nothing yet again. It proved to be the most pivotal point in the game as Oak Hill started putting points on the scoreboard and the Big Blacks just could not keep up. Point was without leading rusher Tylun Campbell, who was forced to sit due to injury. Junior Teran Barnitz led the way with 42 yards on 13 carries. Chase Walton had 32 yards on 8 carries, Marqeuz Griffin had 27 yards on 9 carries, and Cody Mitchell had one carry for 5 yards. Sophomore quarterback Aden Yates had his first non-100 yard passing game of the season with just 92 yards passing. He was 7 of 11 passing. Walton was his leading receiver with 5 receptions for 54 yards. Anthony Perry had one catch for 32 yards and Brycen Reymond had one catch for 6 yards. The first scoring drive of the game came when Yates found Walton for a 14 yard touchdown throw with 2:46 left in the first quarter. The Colin Peal kick was good, giving Point the early 7-0 lead. Oak Hill’s Jalen Jones would break tackles and run 66 yards down the sideline with 5:24 left in the half. The extra point was no good. Oak Hill took the lead for good with 5:15 left in the third quarter when Deon Marion ran it in from one yard out. The extra point was no good again. Oak Hill would find another scored with 46 seconds left in the third quarter as Goodman took it in from 8 yards out. The two-point conversion was good, giving Oak Hill the 20-6 lead. Point would answer quickly with a drive that ended with a Teran Barnitz 3 yard touchdown run. The kick was good, giving Oak Hill the 20-14 lead with 9:57 left. Oak Hill would get a big play out of Jones on the next drive but he was brought down by Point’s Gage Buskirk, in what 2011 Buick Lucerne CXL 2 2011 Volkswagen Jetta 2012 Chevy Traverse LT Leather, White White, Factory Warranty!, 2 in stock W $ AWD, White, Factory Warranty! $ 20,900 $ 14,400 2011 Toyota Sienna LE 2 2011 Infiniti G37 4x4, Factory Warranty! $ V-6 Black, Factory Warranty!! $ $ 21,700 would be a huge play as Oak Hill fumbled the ball on the next play. The Big Blacks were set up with plenty of time on the clock before a game-ending interception touchdown by the Red Devils would end any hopes of a Big Blacks comeback.

The Lady Raiders (8-9, 8-2 OVC) honored seniors Rylie Hollingsworth, Noel Mershon, Alicia Ferrell, Cady Gilmore, Randi Wray, Josie Vanco, Justyce Stout and Tracy Roberts before the contest for their years with the program, then the hosts rode that momentum to a trio of nine-point decisions. The victory allowed the Silver and Black to secure a share of their 10th OVC volleyball crown in 11 seasons, dating back to their entrance into the league back in the fall of 2002. RVHS shared the 2012 crown with Coal Grove, who managed a repeat championship in league volleyball play for the first time since 1986. River Valley coach Heather Priddy coached the Lady Raiders during the 2010 season, which was the last of nine straight OVC crowns. Priddy took last year off after giving birth to a child, but came back this fall to restore the Silver and Black back where they belong. After a 2-2 start in league, the Lady Raiders won their final six league matches for a return to the top. Priddy was proud that the girls never quit and that all of the hard work paid off in the end. “We knew all week that we had to win these last two matches with Coal Grove and South Point to get a share of the league title. This is a really exciting time for us right now knowing that we have accomplished that,” Priddy said. “These girls have fought hard and battled back while playing really well, and now we know that we have achieved one of our goals this season. I’m proud of them for what we’ve been able to do.” RVHS trailed only once in the first game at 13-12, but rallied with a 13-3 run to close things out for an early 1-0 match lead. The Lady Pointers again claimed an 8-7 edge in Game 2, but the countered with an 18-8 surge for a 2-0 advantage. SPHS led 2-0 to start the finale, but RVHS reeled off four of the next five points and led the rest of the way. Hollingsworth and Gilmore both paced the River Valley service attack with 13 points apiece, followed by Mershon with 12 points. Leia Moore added seven points to the winning cause, while Stout chipped in two service points. Roberts led the RVHS net attack with 13 kills and five blocks, followed by Ferrell with five kills and Moore with four kills. Stout contributed three kills and Bryant also had one kill. Moore, Mershon and Stout also added a block each in the win. Hannah Carrey led SPHS with six service points, followed by Andrea Bradburn and Bonnie Hileman with five points apiece. �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 Along the River C1 Charlie’s Place in the Foothills Rustic barn converted into Mudfork Blues Band home Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com HARRISONVILLE — They call it “Charlie’s Place in the Foothills” — that century-old barn on the Sheets family farm which has been converted into an inviting rustic theater for artistic performance. Charlie’s Place, located in the center of the 550-acre Sheets family farm, is a restored and renovated 1830 Pennsylvania Dutch bankbarn with 3,600 square feet of total covered space featuring a large performance stage and an elevated seating area in the 60x60 foot structure. It is now home to the Mudfork Blues Band. The farm has been owned by the Sheets family since 1928 and the new facility was named for the first owner, Charlie Sheets. He was the father of Jim Sheets who is the father of Jared, Aaron and Adam Sheets. While the Sheets family hosted the very successful weekend Foothills Festival for the past six years, they opted for scaling down this year from a full fledged festival of entertainment and arts to a theatre venue. They remain dedicated to the goal of the Foothills Music Foundation, of which Jared Sheets is president, “to enrich the quality of life in the foothills region of Southeastern Ohio by encouraging, promoting and supporting music and the arts.” Sheets described Charlie’s Place in the Foothills as a “barn with a vivid history having sheltered Morgan’s Raiders, Prohibition Bootleggers, countless chickens, cows, and horses which has now been converted into the region’s finest music and art facility.” It is suitable for three season use by artists in a variety of disciplines. The renovations of the barn include structural changes along with electrical rewiring to support all new lighting.

The viewing area remains an open space providing for seating of 200 or the use of tables and chairs. The exterior is well lighted with lots of parking places for patrons in the adjacent area where the former festival activities took place. Sheets describes Charlie’s Place as a “work in progress.” Two areas near the entrance are open and available for expansion or development as the need occurs. Work on the old barn began in March and on Sept. 8 the facility was initiated with an appreciation program for supporters and contributors to the Foothills Music Foundation.

The Foundation remains a 501C3 organization, and the programming will continue its emphasis on promoting music and art, according to the Sheets family. On October 13 a free concert of the Mudfork Blues Band, composed of Sheet family musicians, Jennifer on keyboard, Jared playing guitar, and Adam on harmonica, with John Lohse, playing bass, and Ken Carley, drums, will be on stage at Charlie’s Place from 7 to 9 p.m. The invitation from Jared, the leader of the band, is, “Come see the new face of Foothills Music.

Holzer to host healthy cooking demo GALLIPOLIS — In preparation for the upcoming holidays, a healthy cooking demonstration, instructed by Holzer Health System dietitians and chef, will be held on Wednesday, November 14 at the Gallipolis Medical Center at 100 Jackson Pike, Gallipolis, Ohio. These demos are open to anyone who may be interested in preparing healthy foods while maintaining the nostalgia of favorite foods for the holidays. The demonstration is open to the community. Taste testing is available for the foods prepared, as well as a meal featuring the delicious dishes prepared during the demonstration. This is the fourth cooking demonstration Holzer has provided, with each one being a wonderful educational and social event for those in attendance. “Learning how to cook healthy and why we need to choose healthy foods is what we are striving for our communities to learn,” WASHINGTON (AP) — Madeline Stevens knows what it’s like to be a military brat. “The first week of school, it’s really hard,” said Stevens, a 17-year-old from Jacksonville, Fla., who has moved eight times with her naval aviator father and attended 10 different schools. “You sit by yourself at lunch; you try and make friends in classes. When you’re younger it’s easier because, you know, you just share crayons, and you’re new best friends.” But in high school Stevens said she’s had to integrate herself into sports and clubs to make friends, many of whom already have known each other most of their lives. The shuffle also has been a strain academically. Moving can be tough for any child, but it can be even harder for children of military families, who, like Stevens, may relocate more frequently. They must leave friends behind and get acclimated to new schools that may have a different curriculum than the one they left behind.

River Sweep poster contest deadline Dec. 14 Gallia, Meigs and Mason county residents eligible Sweep will be held Saturday, June 15, 2013. River Sweep is a one-day cleanup project for the Ohio River and its tributaries. The Sweep covers nearly 3,000 miles of shoreline from Pittsburgh, PA, to Cairo, IL, and averages more than 20,000 volunteers a year. Trash collected during the Sweep has included cars, tires, furniture, toys, a piano and a variety of other items. All trash collected is either recycled or placed in approved landfills. River Sweep is held to create an awareness of water quality problems caused by litter and illegal dumping. The poster contest, held in conjunction with River Sweep, is one way to spread the word about litter prevention. Posters submitted for the contest should reflect this goal and focus on encouraging volunteer participation. The deadline for the River Sweep Poster Contest is December 14, 2012. River Sweep is sponsored by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO). ORSANCO is the water pollution control agency for the Ohio River and its tributaries. Other agencies participating in the River Sweep include Illinois EPA, Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, Kentucky River Authority and West Virginia Make It Shine Program. Voluntary contributions from industries provide major funding for the Sweep.

As a result, your juggling skills become critical. Your unusual resourcefulness and creativity emerge and allow many different opportunities to open up. Some of you could become involved in higher education, publishing and/or travel. A foreigner or someone very different might suddenly appear in your life, which could cause you to permanently alter your thinking. If you are single, this person could become more than just an acquaintance. If you are attached, travel could play a very important role in your year; it also might draw the two of you closer together. CANCER is emotional, and you often feel a need to respond. 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) HHH You might need to depend on someone else, which could make you uncomfortable. You simply cannot be everywhere at once. Consider an option that comes too late this time but perhaps just soon enough for next time. In the meantime, be patient. Tonight: Mosey on home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Reach out for a key person who has been evasive lately. If this individual continues in this manner, revamp your approach or simply choose not to deal with him or her. Your clarity and sense of direction remain assets. Count on change and new developments. Tonight: Share a different perspective about an investment and/or an expenditure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You offer a lot. Your creativity might be at a standstill, but this will last for only a short period of time. Your optimism flows and helps open up many different options. Your sense of humor carries you through the most difficult moments, and also helps lighten the mood. Tonight: Avoid extremes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Tension builds. Allow greater give-and-take, and remember to center yourself. Take a risk and trust your sixth sense; you will like the end results. Touch base with a family member, as this person might have some important news. Tonight: Whatever works for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Time works in your favor, though impulsiveness might be your initial reaction. Know that an immediate decision most likely would backfire. Tomorrow, you could get different results. A meeting adds enthusiasm and will be instrumental in getting you to spread your wings. Tonight: Get extra R and R. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You benefit from hearing what people around you have to say. You might not be sure as to what decision or choice to make, so get as much feedback as possible. You need to understand where others are coming from. With more empathy and understanding, you’ll head down the right path. Tonight: Catch up with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Meet responsibilities head-on. Your willingness to step up to the plate is what identifies you and separates you from others. Your unique perspective and ability to detach play into the situation and are two of your strengths. News from a distance makes you smile. Tonight: Take the first step in making a dream happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out for experts. Do some research on your own, too, and you will have a greater understanding when speaking to others. One person gives you feedback that hits home. You finally know which way to go. You are lucky with money right now — consider buying lottery tickets. Tonight: Listen to passionate music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Deal with a key person directly who has an impact on you personally and/or professionally. At times, you might find that your guard goes up when this person shares. A meeting or a friend helps you keep your goals in mind. Many different people come toward you with ideas. Tonight: Togetherness works. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Let others express what they want. You are anchored and know how to deal with various suggestions. By encouraging such exchanges, others will feel more comfortable and be willing to share with you. This is how you build loyalty and support. Also, you’ll gain access to many good ideas. Tonight: Go with the flow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Focus on accomplishments and getting a project completed. Your creativity surges and might distract you, but if you funnel it into what you’re doing, it could help you complete and/or add a little more imagination to that project. A loved one would like more of your time. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Brainstorm and share more with others. At the same time, you do not want to reveal too much about a particular person. Your willingness to be vulnerable is OK, but not if it exposes someone else. A purchase or a matter involving your personal life puts a smile on your face. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Elks donate to Snack Pack N.Y. broadway producer says he was fraud victim NEW YORK (AP) — The psychological thriller “Rebecca” was a hit for author Daphne du Maurier and filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. Leave it to Broadway to one-up the master of suspense. A planned New York production of the 1938 novel as a musical collapsed this week amid questions about its financial backing, and a growing suspicion that one of its primary investors — a secretive businessman named Paul Abrams who had supposedly pledged $4.5 million, then suddenly died of malaria — never existed. The FBI has launched an investigation. Private investigators are on the case. The full truth may take some time to come out, but the lead producer of “Rebecca,” Ben Sprecher, says he now believes he was taken in by an elaborate fraud. “I never made up any investor. I never made up Paul Abrams. I never made up any of this,” Sprecher said in a brief interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. But two months after the “death,” Sprecher’s lawyer, Ronald Russo, said he has concluded that Abrams and the three other investors in the musical were indeed works of stagecraft, propped up by forged documents and bogus correspondence. “Rebecca’s” troubles began last winter, when the producers postponed a planned spring opening because of problems lining up financing for the $12 million show. It was the second setback for Sprecher, a theater veteran who is trying to produce his first big-budget Broadway show, after past work as a theater owner and manager, and producer on revivals including “A Moon for the Misbegotten” and “American Buffalo.” Submitted photo Past Exalted Ruler Nelson Dray presented a check for $2500 to Snack Pack Chairperson Nancy Smith to help with the purchase of food for children in need.

Bond movies have beat do-or-die odds for 50 years LOS ANGELES (AP) — Over the last 50 years, the owners of the James Bond movie franchise have had heart-stopping crises as thrilling as the ones that face their fictional secret agent. They’ve nearly gone bust more than once and have come close to losing all of their rights in court. But the franchise has survived and thrived under the family of late producer Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli, whose name has graced every official Bond intro since “Dr. No” in 1962. The son of Italian immigrants was a risk-taker, and his earlier ventures included farming the vegetable bearing the Broccoli name that his uncle brought to America. After years of hustling his way into Hollywood, Broccoli fought for the movie rights to the Ian Fleming novels and passed his faith in the British spy tales to his children. “Cubby used to say, ‘This is the goose that laid the golden egg, keep it safe,’ ” said Broccoli’s youngest daughter, Barbara, now the series’ co-producer, in a phone interview from London. “One of the things he said was we’re temporary people making permanent decisions. When you have a franchise, and you’re invested in it as emotionally as we are, you make decisions based on the health of the franchise going forward.” For five decades, the Broccoli family has held on to its 50 percent stake in the “007” movies, while studio partner Metro-GoldwynMayer Inc. owns the other half. The series is one of the longest running in history, having made $4.9 billion in ticket sales over 22 films. The 23rd Bond movie, “Skyfall,” is set to premiere Oct. 23 in London. It’s not like the formula for action, sex and intrigue has always worked perfectly. Some films fell flat, like “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” George Lazenby’s infamous oneBond wonder. The franchise has occasionally needed new blood to keep it fresh, and there have been six Bonds so far. For “Skyfall,” the family is making another noticeable change: it cast 31-year-old Ben Whishaw as Bond’s gadget guru, Q. The last two movies did without the longtime sidekick, who had been played by the late Desmond Llewelyn in an epic 16 Bond films. “The decision was made to make him a younger man, as would be the case these days,” said Michael G. Wilson, Albert Broccoli’s stepson who is also coproducer of the series, by phone. “Let’s hope he goes on as long as Desmond Llewelyn did.” It may seem a minor casting decision, but nothing is taken lightly by the family that has stuck with Bond this long. Their tribulations are brought to life in the documentary, “Everything Or Nothing,” which debuts Friday on EPIX. In one incident from the 1970s, the film explains, Broccoli’s Canadian co-producer, Harry Saltzman, had squandered his Bond fortune on outside investments. Instead of turning to his partner for help, Saltzman pledged their production partnership Danjaq as collateral on nearly $20 million in personal loans from Swiss bank UBS. Broccoli enlisted Wilson, a practicing lawyer, to prevent the production company from being foreclosed on by the bank. Wilson argued Saltzman couldn’t pledge 100 percent of the production entity without consulting his partner. In the end, the Saltzman-Broccoli partnership broke up. Saltzman bitterly sold his stake to United Artists, now a subsidiary of MGM, and was left penniless. Bond narrowly escaped unscathed. In another segment, the family faces off against real-life nemesis Kevin McClory, an Irishman whose early script work with Fleming allowed him to win the movie rights to “Thunderball.” The rights form the basis for “Never Say Never Again,” a 1983 remake. The film brought leading man Sean Connery back as Bond after a 12-year hiatus, and was a way for Connery to snub the producers that he felt had shortchanged him. That year, Connery’s Bond and Roger Moore’s Bond in “Octopussy” hit theaters just months apart, though “Octopussy” won the box office battle. Due to the bitter rivalry, “Never Say Never Again” isn’t included in Danjaq’s count of 23 Bond flicks. The documentary also explains why “Casino Royale,” Fleming’s first Bond book, was made twice. The first version debuted in 1967 and was a ridiculous mash-up featuring multiple Bonds played by the likes of David Niven, Peter Sellers and even Woody Allen. The spoof was possible because Fleming had sold that book’s rights to Columbia Pictures, now owned by Sony Corp., for a measly $6,000. Sony gave the rights back to the Broccolis in a legal settlement in 1999. Sony later became the distributor of the last two films and “Skyfall.” That’s why a Sony Vaio laptop is among Bond’s arsenal of gadgets these days, despite Sony’s former archenemy status. (Heineken, not a shaken martini, is also a new favorite Bond libation, thanks to the brewer’s corporate sponsorship.) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
