John Kasich signed Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) into law amid boos, applause and definitely controversy — a controversy local legislators knew all too well. SB 5 deals with collective bargaining rights of public employees and last week passed the Ohio House by a 53-44 vote and a 17-16 concurrence vote in the Senate which sent the bill to Kasich’s desk. Local legislators from Meigs and Gallia counties voted mostly along party lines on the issue with Sen. Jimmy Stewart, R-Albany, and Sen. David Daniels, RGreenfield, voting to pass the measure, while Rep. Debbie Phillips, DAthens, voted against it. Rep. John Carey, RWellston, who represents Gallia County in the 87th House District, broke ranks with the House GOP in his opposition to SB 5. Carey was one of five Republicans to oppose the measure. “I did not vote for Senate Bill 5 because I do not agree with its prescriptive nature, along with the elimination of National Public Health Week Special sing at Crown City C.C. Prendergast said. Stinson’s testimony pointed to inconsistencies between Rizer’s account to police of the moments leading to her husband’s death and what she later told him in a two-hour October, 2009 interview. In two interviews, one with Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Trussell and the second with Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation Agent Larry Willis, Rizer said she and her husband had a happy relationship, GALLIPOLIS — “I’ve been approached by a representative of a couple of people who want to possibly put in a subdivision out on [Ohio] 160 which is 0.2 miles from our sewer line that goes to the industrial park,” Gallipolis City Commissioner Matt Johnson said during a special meeting of the commission on March 29. “This representative wanted to know if it would all be feasible to possibly tap into that line if they do all the work to get to that junction.” The commissioners discussed the possibility of allowing this subdivision to tap into the city sewer line that provides sewage services to the Dan Evans Industrial Park on Ohio 850 and the implications therein. The city initially provided sewage only to the businesses located within the industrial park, however, in March 2010, the commission approved an ordinance that allows industrial and commercial hook-ups to the city’s sewer line outside the industrial park on a limited basis with specific authorization of the city. According to Johnson, the involved parties of the subdivision plan — who were not identified — expect to create 25-30 three acre lots with the appropriate septic tank hook-ups. However, if the subdivision were able to connect to the sewer system, a total of 50 one acre lots could be in place within the subdivision. Furthermore, Johnson pointed to the approximately $4,000 connect fee for each home connecting to the sewer and the possible substantial revenue that would be created each year in user fees as an incentive for the city to allow the users to connect the sewer. In addition to extra revenue, Johnson discussed other benefits to the city for such an endeavor. “By having an extra 50 people close to the hospital, do we have 50 new doctors come to town? Do we have people actually wanting to come to town to spend money,” Johnson said. Commission President Jim Cozza, however, posed the question of how the city would limit those individuals or entities that would be eligible to con- See Trial, A5 See Sewer, A5 Amber Gillenwater/photo Officials with the Gallia County Health Department were present during a regular meeting of the Gallia County Board of Commissioners on Thursday in Gallipolis in recognition of National Public Health Week. The commission issued a proclamation to urge all Gallia County residents to observe the week of April 4-10, 2011, as public health wek and to educate themselves and the community about issues affecting public health.

Meigs Co. leaders: Health stats just part of big picture OBITUARIES New health facility, school programs part of focus on wellness WEATHER BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Meigs County ranks low statistically in the recentlyreleased County Health Rankings, but local officials working to improve public health say they have made positive strides at improving the community’s wellness, particularly among the county’s youngest. The report, completed last year, ranks Meigs County — and Gallia, too — among the state’s low- est in rankings of health outcomes and health factors, 83rd and 85th, respectively, out of the state’s 88 counties. Michael Bartrum, president of the Board of County Commissioners, Health Commissioner Larry Marshall and Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe were asked to address state health leaders last week about ways the county is addressing a lack of health care providers, high disease risk factors and other issues affecting the public’s health. Bartrum and Marshall said raw statistics paint a grim picture, but they pointed Thursday to programs in local schools and communities, and efforts of local leaders to increase health care services, as positive indicators. “This ranking provided Meigs County leaders with an opportunity to discuss with lawmakers and state officials about how the county is s physicianshort area and that is sometimes difficult to see a doctor when needed,” Bartrum said. To complement the location and planned expansion of the Family Health Care center, which is expected to be completed at Rocksprings in a year, commissioners and their economic development office are working to attract an emergency room and other health facilities at the same location. “This year, we will continue to focus on these efforts and to address See Health, A5 Rizer asks for third murder trial Trial attorneys admit ‘oversight’ BY BRIAN J.

Melissa Prendergast, assistant public defender, filed a petition to vacate her sentence imposed by Judge Fred W. Crow III, after a jury convicted her of murder. Rizer is serving a life sentence in the Marysville Correctional Institution for killing her husband. Rizer’s first trial, for aggravated murder, ended in an acquittal. She was found guilty of murder in January, 2010. She shot her husband, Kenneth Rizer, multiple times at their Lebanon Township home in 2009, and claimed at trial she had been a victim of domestic violence and was acting in self defense. According to the petition Prendergast filed in Common Pleas Court, Rizer alleges she was denied effective counsel. Her attorneys, the petition says, failed to object to the violation of Rizer’s Fifth Amendment rights by a state expert witness who called Rizer’s selfdefense claim a “double defense.” The petition also says Rizer’s court-appointed attorneys failed to object to Crow’s “faulty” selfdefense jury instruction. “Testimony from Dr. Robert Stinson at trial and the state’s heavy reliance on that testimony in closing argument violated Rizer’s rights,” �Sunday, April 3, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Extension Corner Are you interested in changing the focus of your farming activities? Are you wanting to learn more about the local foods movement? Plan to attend the 2011 Mid-Ohio Valley Agriculture Opportunities Conference on Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Washington State Community College, 710 Colegate Drive in Marietta, Ohio. This event is sponsored by OSU Extension Buckeye Valley EERA. The keynote presentation is titled, “Are You Market Ready?” This presentation will include an in depth look at the necessary steps needed for a farmer to expand their markets: Relationship building, packaging, labeling, pricing, and more. The rest of the day’s sixteen sessions will also address consumer interest in local foods and farm fresh — what can farmers do to sell locally grown products to meet these needs? How to start a new crop on the farm — whether it’s meat goats, cheese, honey, berries or vegetables! At this conference — landowners can learn about the marketing and management that goes with a farm business. One farmer will share his experiences using solar on the farm to power many of his daily activities. A special afternoon general session is titled “Farm Marketing Tips for Farmers Markets & More” by Eric Barrett and Hal Kneen. These Extension Educators will share their research on farmers markets from 17 farmers markets across the state of New York. Registration is only $40 and includes lunch along with a Conference Proceedings with details from all presentations from the entire conference.

More people are choosing to drink raw County Forecast milk these days and Ohio State University researchers are hoping to find out why? OSU researchers are seeking participants who live on a dairy farm and drink their own raw milk or live on a farm and drink pasteurized milk. The farm can be any size or type. Participants must be eighteen years or older. Volunteers will be asked to meet with researchers to complete a written survey, and take part in a 1.5 hour long focus group session. They will be paid $25 for their time and trouble.

Memorial Drive, Pomeroy. The first half hour will be a general discussion on perennials and an open question and answer session. The exchange begins at 1:30 p.m. Bring your plants and seeds to the exchange with identifying labels, help will be there to identify those unknown plants. Both indoor and outdoor plants are welcome. Join the fun even if you don’t have plants yet to exchange, there are always more plants looking for a new home. See you there! ••• We have had snow three times since the forsythia has begun blooming so according to local folklore, Spring should be here! Make sure you cut last year’s growth on your ornamental grasses. Now is the time to spread a pre-emergent crabgrass herbicide on the lawn to prevent the crabgrass seedlings from sprouting.

POMEROY — Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle has been named defendant in a civil action filed in Common Pleas Court. Lisa Watson and Donny Mick, both of Coolville, claim they are the owners of $12,910 turned into the sheriff’s department. In their complaint, Watson and Mick allege that the money was removed from beneath a shed on their property by their neighbor’s dog. They state they left for a weekend trip in January, 2011, and the dog had taken the money, contained in a bag, from the hiding place. They claim the dog, owned by John Burdett, has taken items from their yard in the past. Burdett turned the money into the sheriff’s department, and Beegle said Thursday he had no authority to release the money until a court order allows him to do so. cials and employers regarding Senate Bill 5, I found that they were not against reforms, but wanted more flexibility than the bill allowed. I am sorry that this debate turned so ugly, but my conscience is clear. I am not afraid to take tough votes if I believe it is the right thing to do. I respect those who disagree. For me, I did the right thing.” Stewart, who represents Meigs County in Ohio’s 20th Senate District, said back in February he would only vote for the final bill if it contained common ground for all his constituents. At March’s Lincoln Day Dinner sponsored by the Meigs County Republican Party, Stewart received palpable applause for voting for the bill though, according to Stewart, constituents from both sides of the issue inundated his office with emails, phone calls, etc. Daniels, who represents Gallia County in the 17th District, kept his promise of voting for SB 5 — a promise made to The Sunday Times-Sentinel also back in February. At that time Daniels said he hoped the version of the bill which emerged would be something everyone could agree upon but if that couldn’t be achieved, he would still vote for the bill. At the time, Daniels said his vote would come down to making a decision which was best for all taxpayers, not just a certain group. Phillips, who represents Meigs County in the Ohio House’s 92nd District, hasn’t wavered from her opposition to the bill, even holding a town hall meeting to discuss it at the Athens Community Center after some citizens protesting the vote were denied access to the Ohio State House. Phillips has told The Sunday TimesSentinel SB 5 was a distraction from the real issues of job creation and balancing the budget — she staunchly believes it will not balance the budget. She also said she felt it was an “attack on the middle class.” Ohio Republicans have formed a website, www.SB5truth.com, to dispel what they feel are rumors concerning the legislation. Those who have opposed SB 5 are beginning the fight to place the issue on the November ballot to take it to voters, hoping they’ll overturn it. ties therein. “If you limit it to some type of structured [plan] — if you fall under these guidelines, then, yes, you can come to us and approach us about that and we will consider it but not just the one-offs,” Bailey said. The commission also discussed the impact an additional 50 users would have upon the industrial park sewer system and the sewage treatment plant. According to City Manager Randy Finney, the industrial park sewer system is operating at three to four percent capacity with an eight inch line that could accommodate additional users. However, Cozza questioned whether adding additional users outside of the industrial park could hinder the possi- bility of a larger commercial business within the industrial park from connecting to the sewer. “If it gets to the point where somebody wants to bring a big user into the industrial park and we have to say, ‘we don’t have the capacity to accommodate you, you’ll have to go somewhere else,’ we’re going to look pretty stupid,” Cozza said. Also, Cozza pointed to the water treatment facility and the future upgrades and impact more sewer users would have on the facility and the city residents. “The thing that makes this complicated is this is all happening in the county but the treatment plant belongs to the city and whatever costs are incurred because we keep adding to what it processes is a burden for the occupants of the city of Gallipolis. It’s not a burden to the occupants in a development out on 160, well outside the city,” Cozza. “I want to see the county grow. I’m as big a supporter to grow this county as anybody; but, I also have a responsibility to the citizens of the city of Gallipolis that everything that’s done isn’t on the back of our citizens.” improve the community’s health, and the figures should not be allowed to stand strictly on their own in gauging the community’s wellness. “Those figures serve as a reminder, and they keep us on goal, so we are working together to continue to improve the community’s health and wellness,” Marshall said, “We have a challenge and we are meeting it head-on.” Part of that challenge, Marshall said, that local government can address is preventing disease and promoting wellness among the next generation, and he pointed particularly to wellness programs in the public school systems, immunizations programs state funding allows, nutrition education and fitness programs. He said efforts are underway to supplement playground and sports equipment at school facilities. The Southern health center, Marshall said, has proven to prevent absenteeism and promote wellness among students, and public access to the FHC services, which will include dental services along with primary care services at its new 10,000 square-foot clinic, will also go a long way. Even at the county courthouse, Bartrum noted, wellness has taken a larger role. Over 100 county employees attended wellness screenings there last week, sponsored by the county’s health insurance carrier.

Jennifer Wolford, 31, Jackson, was sentenced on March 18 to 11 months in the Ohio Reformatory for Women and received credit for 11 days served. Wolford was originally sentenced to 24 months of community control in March 2010 following a guilty plea to one count of theft. In October 2010, Wolford was arraigned on community control violations. On March 18, the defendant’s community control was revoked and she was sentenced to prison for theft. Meigs County 911 Domestic • Divorce complaint filed by Kaitlin K. Brooks against Aaron M. Brooks.

Stinson, a state rebuttal witness, said Rizer told him her husband had once pushed her off a farm tractor during an argument, and raised his hand to her during another. Those incidents, Rizer told Stinson in the Washington County Jail, were “not typical” of their relationship. Rizer increasingly relied in her second trial on charges her husband intimidated and struck her, and pressured her into uncomfortable sexual situations. However, Stinson noted that she frequently stood up for herself, had her own interests and hobbies, and an internet business, all activities her husband endorsed, she told him. Such situations are not typical in cases of battered women, Stinson said at trial, and Rizer’s allegations against her husband served as a double defense — if one story would not help her case, perhaps another would. According to and mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news Prendergast, in pointing out discrepancies regarding the defendant’s recitation of facts, and questioning the truth of her representations regarding her own level of fear, Stinson’s testimony exceeds proper forensic bounds, and the evaluator’s role becomes “essentially like that of an agent of the state recounting unwarned statements made in a post-arrest custodial setting.” “Dr. Stinson performed no testing but opined that Rizer did not suffer from battered-women syndrome,” Prendergast wrote, “and admitted he did not use tesing ‘because my evaluation was to get an abuse history and her version of what happened.’” Rizer’s attorneys, Herman Carson and Glenn Jones, filed identical affidavits with Rizer’s petition, stating, “my failure to object to the court’s faulty-self defense instructions was not part of a strategic trial, or theory of the case, but rather was an oversight resulting from a lack of specific analysis or decision making.” “My failure to object to the violation of Mrs. Rizer’s rights was not a product of trial strategy but rather a failure to properly analyze and place limitations on the state’s right to have an expert evaulate Paula Rizer when battered women’s self-defense was being raised.” “Because it is impossible to know whether the jurors rejected Rizer’s self-defense claim for proper reasons or for improper reasons, counsel’s ineffectiveness renders the result unreliable,” Prendegast said. Prendegast asks Crow in her petition to declare the verdict in the case void or voidable and grant her a new trial, or the conduct an evidentiary hearing. Rizer’s original appeal is still pending in the Fourth District court. The state has until Tuesday to file its brief, but Rizer’s counsel were granted extensions to file their original brief.

The misplaced confidence displayed by Tokyo Electric Power Co. was prompted by a series of overly optimistic assumptions that concluded the Earth couldn’t possibly release the level of fury it did two weeks ago, pushing the six-reactor Fukushima Dai-ichi complex to the brink of multiple meltdowns. Instead of the reactors staying dry, as contemplated under the power company’s worst-case scenario, the plant was overrun by a torrent of water much higher and stronger than the utility argued could occur, according to an AP analysis of records, documents and statements from researchers, the utility and the Japan’s national nuclear safety agency. And while TEPCO and government officials have said no one could have anticipated such a massive tsunami, there is ample evidence that such waves have struck the northeast coast of Japan before — and that it could happen again along the culprit fault line, which runs roughly north to south, offshore, about 220 miles (350 kilometers) east of the plant. TEPCO officials say they had a good system for projecting tsunamis. They declined to provide more detailed explanations, saying they were focused on the ongoing nuclear crisis. What is clear: TEPCO officials discounted important readings from a network of GPS units that showed that the two tectonic plates that create the fault were strongly “coupled,” or stuck together, thus storing up extra stress along a line hundreds of miles long. The greater the distance and stickiness of such coupling, experts say, the higher the stress buildup — pressure that can be violently released in an earthquake. That evidence, published in scientific journals starting a decade ago, represented the kind of telltale characteristics of a fault being able to produce the truly overwhelming quake — and therefore tsunami — that it did. On top of that, TEPCO modeled the worst-case tsunami using its own computer program instead of an internationally accepted prediction method. It matters how Japanese calculate risk. In short, they rely heavily on what has happened to figure out what might happen, even if the probability is extremely low. If the view of what has happened isn’t accurate, the risk assessment can be faulty. That approach led to TEPCO’s disregard of much of Japan’s tsunami history. In postulating the maximum-sized earthquake and tsunami that the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex might face, TEPCO’s engineers decided not to factor in quakes earlier than 1896. That meant the experts excluded a major quake that occurred more than 1,000 years ago — a tremor followed by a powerful tsunami that hit many of the same locations as the recent disaster. A TEPCO reassessment presented only four months ago concluded that tsunami-driven water would push no higher than 18 feet (5.7 meters) once it hit the shore at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex. The reactors sit up a small bluff, between 14 and 23 feet (4.3 and 6.3 meters) above TEPCO’s projected high-water mark, according to a presentation at a November seismic safety conference in Japan by TEPCO civil engineer Makoto Takao. “We assessed and confirmed the safety of the nuclear plants,” Takao asserted. However, the wall of water that thundered ashore two weeks ago reached about 27 feet (8.2 meters) above TEPCO’s prediction. The flooding disabled backup power generators, located in basements or on first floors, imperiling the nuclear reactors and their nearby spent fuel pools. The story leading up to the Tsunami of 2011 goes back many, many years — several millennia, in fact. The Jogan tsunami of 869 displayed striking similarities to the events in and around the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors. The importance of that disaster, experts told the AP, is that the most accurate planning for worst-case scenarios is to study the largest events over the longest period of time. In other words, use the most data possible. The evidence shows that plant operators should have known of the dangers — or, if they did know, disregarded them. As early as 2001, a group of scientists published a paper documenting the Jogan tsunami. They estimated waves of nearly 26 feet (8 meters) at Soma, about 25 miles north of the plant. North of there, they concluded that a surge from the sea swept sand more than 2 1/2 miles (4 kilometers) inland across the Sendai plain. The latest tsunami pushed water at least about 1 1/2 miles (2 kilometers) inland. The scientists also found two additional layers of sand and concluded that two additional “gigantic tsunamis” had hit the region during the past 3,000 years, both presumably comparable to Jogan. Carbon dating couldn’t pinpoint exactly when the other two hit, but the study’s authors put the range of those layers of sand at between 140 B.C. and A.D. 150, and between 670 B.C. and 910 B.C. In a 2007 paper published in the peerreviewed journal Pure and Applied Geophysics, two TEPCO employees and three outside researchers explained their approach to assessing the tsunami threat to Japan’s nuclear reactors, all 54 of which sit near the sea or ocean. To ensure the safety of Japan’s coastal power plants, they recommended that facilities be designed to withstand the highest tsunami “at the site among all historical and possible future tsunamis Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

But the authors went on to write that tsunami records before 1896 could be less reliable because of “misreading, misrecording and the low technology available for the measurement itself.” The TEPCO employees and their colleagues concluded, “Records that appear unreliable should be excluded.” Two years later, in 2009, another set of researchers concluded that the Jogan tsunami had reached 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) inland at Namie, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) north of the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The warning from the 2001 report about the 3,000-year history would prove to be most telling: “The recurrence interval for a large-scale tsunami is 800 to 1,100 years. More than 1,100 years have passed since the Jogan tsunami, and, given the reoccurrence interval, the possibility of a large tsunami striking the Sendai plain is high.” The fault involved in the Fukushima Dai-ichi tsunami is part of what is known as a subduction zone. In subduction zones, one tectonic plate dives under another. When the fault ruptures, the sea floor snaps upward, pushing up the water above it and potentially creating a tsunami. Subduction zones are common around Japan and throughout the Pacific Ocean region. TEPCO’s latest calculations were started after a magnitude-8.8 subduction zone earthquake off the coast of Chile in February 2010. In such zones over the past 50 years, earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater have occurred in Alaska, Chile and Indonesia. All produced large tsunamis. When two plates are locked across a large area of a subduction zone, the potential for a giant earthquake increases. And those are the exact characteristics of where the most recent quake occurred. TEPCO “absolutely should have known better,” said Dr. Costas Synolakis, a leading American expert on tsunami modeling and an engineering professor at the University of Southern California. “Common sense,” he said, should have produced a larger predicted maximum water level at the plant. TEPCO’s tsunami modelers did not judge that, in a worst-case scenario, the strong subduction and coupling conditions present off the coast of Fukushima 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.

Instead, it figured the maximum at 8.6 magnitude, meaning the March 11 quake was four times as powerful as the presumed maximum. Shogo Fukuda, a TEPCO spokesman, said that 8.6 was the maximum magnitude entered into the TEPCO internal computer modeling for Fukushima Daiichi. Another TEPCO spokesman, Motoyasu Tamaki, used a new buzzword, “sotegai,” or “outside our imagination,” to describe what actually occurred. U.S. tsunami experts said that one reason the estimates for Fukushima Daiichi were so low was the way Japan calculates risk. Because of the island nation’s long history of killer waves, Japanese experts often will look at what has happened — then project forward what is likely to happen again. Under longstanding U.S. standards that are gaining popularity around the world, risk assessments typically scheme up a worst-case scenario based on what could happen, then design a facility like a nuclear power plant to withstand such a collection of conditions — factoring in just about everything short of an extremely unlikely cataclysm, like a large meteor hitting the ocean and creating a massive wave that kills hundreds of thousands. In the early 1990s, Harry Yeh, now a tsunami expert and engineering professor at Oregon State University, was helping assess potential threats to the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant on the central California coast in the United States. During that exercise, he said, researchers considered a worstcase scenario involving a significantly larger earthquake than had ever been recorded there. And then a tsunami was added. And in that Diablo Canyon model, the quake hit during a monster storm that was already pushing onto the shore higher waves than had ever been measured at the site. In contrast, when TEPCO calculated its high-water mark at 18 feet (5.7 meters), the anticipated maximum earthquake was in the same range as others recorded off the coast of Fukushima Dai-ichi — and the only assumption about the water level was that the tsunami arrived at high tide. Which, as is abundantly clear now, could not have been more wrong. Sunday Times-Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Fuselage hole forces Southwest emergency landing PHOENIX (AP) — A "gunshot-like sound" woke Brenda Reese as her Southwest Airlines flight cruised at 36,000 feet. Looking up, she could see the sky through a hole torn in the cabin roof. The Boeing 737 lost cabin pressure after the hole developed Friday, prompting frightened passengers to grope for oxygen masks as the plane made a terrifying but controlled descent. One passenger called it "pandemonium." Another watched as a flight attendant and another passenger passed out, apparently for lack of oxygen, their heads striking seats in front of them. Officials said Flight 812 lost pressure Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis because of a fuselage rupture. Federal A v i a t i o n Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the pilot made a "controlled descent from 36,000 feet to 11,000 feet altitude." His safe emergency landing at a military base in Yuma, about 150 miles southwest of Phoenix, drew applause from relieved passengers. No serious injuries were reported among the 118 people aboard although a flight attendant was slightly hurt, according to Southwest officials. The cause of the hole was not immediately known. The FBI called it a "mechanical failure," not an act of terror or other foul play. Legion fundraiser GALLIPOLIS — American Legion Post 27 will host a basket games fundraiser on Sunday, April 3.

The Eastern baseball team was held hitless for five innings on Thursday night, but a four-run, four-hit outburst in the top of the sixth ultimately allowed the visiting Eagles to rally back for a 5-2 victory over Federal Hocking in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Athens County. Eastern (2-1, 2-0 TVC Hocking) and the host Lancers (0-2, 0-2) both knocked out four hits in the contest, but FHHS ended up committing all four of the errors in Thursday’s matchup — Tenoglia Hendrix including a pair in that pivotal sixth frame. Trailing 1-0 through five complete, Eastern sent nine hitters to the plate in the top of the sixth. Luke Kimes, Tyler Hendrix and Ethan Nottingham started the frame with three consecutive singles to pull even with the hosts at one, then Ryan Shook singled in both Hendrix and Nottingham for a 3-1 advantage.

Raiders drop season opener to Point Pleasant, 7-2 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant baseball team rallied back from a 2-0 deficit to post its sixth consecutive victory of the 2011 season Thursday night with a 72 decision over visiting River Valley in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The host Big Blacks (6-1) struggled early on with the Raiders (0-1), who were making their 2011 debut at PPHS.

The salaries for Kansas City’s 27 players on its opening-day roster and disabled lists total $36.1 million, according to an analysis of major league contracts by The Associated Press. A-Rod alone makes $32 million atop the New York Yankees’ $201.7 million payroll. He is baseball’s highestpaid player for the 11th straight year. Overall, baseball salaries were nearly flat for this season, which started Thursday. The average salary for the 844 players on openingday rosters and disabled lists was about $3.3 million, up just 0.2 percent from last year. The increase was the lowest since a 2.7 percent drop in 2004. Kansas City’s payroll was cut in half from $72.3 million at the start of 2010. The Royals traded Zack Greinke, and Gil Meche retired. “I’m not worried that it’s too low,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “I look at it as something that gives us tremendous flexibility going forward as an organization to be competitive as we negotiate for players.” The Yankees, as usual, had the top payroll but dropped to $201.7 million from $206.3 million at the start of last season. Philadelphia, once considered a small-market team, was second at $173 million following the offseason signing of Cliff Lee. The Phillies began last year fourth at $141.9 million but have been given a financial boost by 123 consecutive home sellouts during the regular season. “We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the fans supporting us the way they supported us,” GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “It’s really plain and simple: We don’t sell out games, we don’t give ourselves a chance to be even in this stratosphere.” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira isn’t bothered by competition at the top of the spending list. “It’s great for baseball anytime you get teams willing to go out there and improve their team,” he said. “It’s great for baseball.” Boston is third on the salary list at $161.4 million, followed by the Los Angeles Angels ($139 million), the Chicago White Sox ($129.3 million), the Chicago Cubs ($125.5 million) and the New York Mets ($120 million). The totals don’t include salaries owed released players — Carlos Silva ($11.5 million for the Cubs) and Oliver Perez ($12 million) and Luis Castillo ($6.25 million for the Mets). The World Series champion San Francisco Giants are eighth at $118.2 million, up from $97.8 million. The AL champion Texas Rangers rose to 13th at $92.3 million from $55.3 million. “Obviously I don’t make the financial decisions, but as a manager you certainly appreciate how ownership stepped up and kept the team intact after a special year to try to give us a chance to do this again,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “I’ve been on the other end and seen clubs dismantled. It’s frustrating.” Tampa Bay, the 2008 AL champion, dropped from 21st at $71.9 million to 29th at $41.9 million, after shedding Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, Matt Garza and Rafael Soriano. Cleveland fell from $61.2 million to $49.2 million. Pittsburgh’s payroll went up from a major league-low $35 million to 27th at $46 million. San Diego’s increased from $37.8 million to $45.9 million. There were 453 players — nearly 54 percent of those in the major leagues on Thursday — making $1 million or more. That was up from 433 at the start of last season. Fifty-five players make the $414,000 minimum, up from 41 at the minimum last year. The median salary, the point at which at equal numbers are above and below, remained at $1.1 million, down from a record $1,125,000 in 2009. Behind A-Rod on the list of top-earning players was the Los Angeles Angels’ Vernon Wells at $26.6 million, followed by Yankees teammates CC Sabathia ($24.3 million) and Teixeira ($23.1 million), then Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer ($23 million) and injured Mets pitcher Johan Santana ($21.6 million). Figures include salaries and prorated shares of signing bonuses and other guaranteed income. For some players, parts of deferred signing bonuses and salaries are discounted to reflect present-day values.

Complete results of the 2011 Ohio Valley Bank Invite are available at www.runwv.com Indians outslugged by White Sox CLEVELAND (AP) — Fausto Carmona dug the hole. The Cleveland Indians fell in. Making his first opening-day start, Carmona was rocked by Chicago for 10 runs in three innings, and the Indians fell behind by 14 before scrapping back and losing 15-10 in their home opener on Friday to the reloaded White Sox, who splurged during the offseason in an attempt to win the AL Central. Carlos Santana went 3 for 5 and hit a two-run homer for the Indians, who scored four in the sixth, three in the seventh, two in the eighth and one in the ninth but had too much to overcome. Chicago built a 14-0 lead after four innings for starter Mark Buehrle (10) and roughed up Carmona (0-1). Quentin and Dunn each hit two-run homers in the third, and the White Sox added eight runs in the fourth, when Indians manager Manny Acta mercifully pulled Carmona. The support was more than enough for Buehrle, who blanked the Indians for five innings before giving up five straight singles and four runs in the sixth. Starting his ninth consecutive opener, the left-hander allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings. Chicago’s motto this season is “All In,” a poker reference that also describes their spending spree this winter when their biggest moves were signing Dunn to a fouryear, $56 million contract and re-signing popular captain Paul Konerko to a three-year, $37.5 million deal. For four innings, the reloaded White Sox looked unbeatable. They pounded Carmona. When he was lifted by Acta in the fourth, Carmona was booed by a sellout crowd of 41,271 fans who are unsure what to expect this season from a team that lost 93 games last season. Carmona didn’t look prepared. Many of his pitches were high in the strike zone, and the White Sox pounced on them. �Sunday, April 3, 2011 Burn from Page B1 stolen bases into six runs and added some timely hitting to boot. “We’ve been preaching all winter and all pre-season about two-out hits,” said Gallia Academy coach Rich Corvin. “Our main goal is to try and get guys to second base as soon as we can get them there. “When we get a guy to second base, it changes our whole offensive philosophy,” he added, “and we did that pretty well tonight. We have some team speed and we try to take advantage of that. Sometimes when the offense isn’t going you have to have to kick-start it a little bit.” For a team that scored 10 runs, the Blue Devils didn’t get a slew of baserunners. They had nine hits and were granted three walks and a hit batsman by Logan pitcher Curtis Barkhurst, and a couple other batters reached on errors, but they only stranded three runners on base. In other words, they didn’t waste too many opportunities. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils didn’t give the Purple & White many opportunities of their own. Logan only had two hits and eight total baserunners, and two of those gained life on catcher’s interference calls when the Chiefs let their best chance for multiple runs slip away in the third frame. “They made plays and took advantage of every opportunity,” Logan coach Brian Breining said of the Blue Devils, “and they’re obviously a very well-coached and well-disciplined ballclub. We need to put the ball in play more; we put the ball in play and it opens things up. That’s what we need to do.” Sophomore pitcher Justin Bailey didn’t give the Chiefs many chances in his five innings on the hill, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out 11 and permitting just one run in earning the victory. “We have to ride him. He’s going to be a pretty good one,” said Corvin, noting Bailey was the Blue Devils’ top pitcher last season — in which they fell to Warren 6-5 in the SEOAL championship game — as a freshman. There’s “a big difference when you can get ahead on the count (with) first-pitch strikes. We preach that — it’s our pitching mind-set — and when we can do that we’re pretty good.” Bailey was pretty good Friday, continually getting ahead of Logan hitters, then finishing several of them off with a wicked curve ball the Chiefs oftentimes chased even as it dived into the dirt in front of home plate. Bailey, who threw around 80 pitches, struck out the side in the first two innings. Bryant Bokovitz finished up, giving up just one walk while striking out two in the sixth and seventh innings as darkness loomed. Gallia Academy took the lead for good in the opening inning when Casey Denbow singled Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis and stole second and scored on a line-drive single by Tyler Eastman. The Chiefs got the second out before Bailey chopped a ball off the plate that died in the heavy grass along the third-base line for a runscoring infield hit. Caleb Warnamount singled home Ben Robinson, who was hit with a pitch and stole second, in the second inning to extend the GAHS lead to 3-0. The Blue Devils then made it 7-0 with a fourrun fourth, getting a key two-run double off the bat of Drew Young and scoring the other two runs on a Logan error and a balk. Logan got runners on second and third with two out as the result of the aforementioned catcher’s interference calls and a sacrifice bunt by Kyle Hixenbaugh in the last of the third, but Bailey fanned the final batter to escape the jam. Logan plated its only run in the last of the fifth when, with one out, Hixenbaugh walked, stole second, was sacrificed to third by Michael Donaldson, and scored when Brian Cook singled to right. The only other Logan hit was an infield single by Kenneth Buckler in the opening inning. Gallipolis used a double-steal and a sacrifice fly to score twice in the sixth and got an RBI two-bagger from Bokovitz in the seventh to complete the scoring. “(Winning) the first league game is always nice,” said Corvin. Denbow led the Blue Devils with two singles, Bokovitz and Young both had a double, and Warnamount, Eastman, Jim Clagg, Bailey and Robinson all had a single. Eastman scored three runs and Tyler Davis and Robinson both stole two bases. “We know the areas where we need work,” Breining said. “I thought our defense was pretty solid today. We had a couple throwing errors, but that’s something we’ll work on. “When we have to take what they’re giving us instead of being aggressive at the plate, it changes the dynamic in the hitter’s minds,” he added. Barkhurst pitched well for the Chiefs despite the final score, walking three and striking out nine. “Barkhurst threw a good game (and) only allowed three walks,” Breining said. “We didn’t give them many opportunities, but they took (advantage) of those opportunities. “You’re never pleased with a 10-1 loss,” he added, “but we know the areas we need to work on. We see progress and the fight was there (from the players) the whole game. We’re down 10-1 and the kids have rally hats on and are still ready to go. I really respect that out of these kids.” The Chiefs travel to Portsmouth for an SEOAL game on Monday while the Blue Devils host Marietta.

The White Falcons tied the gave in the bottom half of the third inning. The game would remain tied until the top of the sixth inning. An Ethan Martin tworun homerun gave Southern a 6-4 lead after the top half of the sixth inning. The White Falcons tied the game at six on a two RBI hit by Zac Warth, and took a two run lead after Bond hit his second two-run homerun of the game. Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision. Bond pitched three innings for the White Falcons, allowing four runs and four hits, while walking six and striking out seven. Tyler Roush pitched the final four from Page B1 for the Blue Angels, who wound up sending 18 batters to the plate. Logan took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning when Bailey Topf singled, stole second and scored on a Jen Hog groundout. After Gallia Academy tied it in the second, Kassie Cremeans socked a home run over the left-field fence as Logan regained a 2-1 lead. In a back-and-forth game, Gallia Academy scored twice in the third to regain the lead but Logan scored four times in the last of the inning, getting a runscoring hit from Hoag and a steal of home by Alyssa Meyer in the process. Both teams scored twice in the fourth — Olivia McBride doubled in a run for the Lady Chiefs — and each team scored single runs in the fifth. Morgan Leslie hit a home run for Gallipolis and Emily Figgins tallied on a wild pitch for the Lady Chiefs. Logan committed 12 errors in the game.

Silver Dollars ~ Plus Door Prizes ~ 12 Dealers Holiday Inn SR7N • Gallipolis, OH �Sunday, April 3, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B5 BYU’s Fredette, GAMS’ Stevens wins state wrestling title Notre Dame’s Brey get AP awards HOUSTON (AP) — Jimmer Fredette became a one-name star in his senior season at BYU. Leading the country in scoring helped as did being on a team that spent the second half of the season ranked in the top 10. On Friday, Fredette — excuse me; Jimmer — was selected The Associated Press’ player of the year. “It’s been quite a ride and it’s been a lot of fun and I wouldn’t take anything back,” Fredette said. “I had quite the career at BYU. There were a lot of ups and downs, but there were a lot more ups this year.” The Cougars won the Mountain West Conference regular-season title and lost to San Diego State in the tournament final. A No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, they lost to Florida in overtime in the round of 16 and finished with a 32-5 record. “I just knew right from the beginning we could have a very good year with the guys returning, and it was one of the most talented teams I’ve ever played on,” said Fredette, who averaged 28.5 points. “Then we started to play well and beat Arizona, and I knew from there we could be a force. That’s what happened because we stayed hungry all year, and that’s what separated us from other teams.” Notre Dame’s Mike Brey was selected the coach of the year as he led the Fighting Irish to a second-place finish in the Big East and a No. 5 ranking in the final poll. “The personality of this group was so stable whether it was a big win or a loss, they stayed stable,” said Brey, who has been at Notre Dame for 11 seasons. “When they had great wins it didn’t change them. When they had a tough loss it didn’t change them. Stable is the word.” Fredette received 48 votes from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament. Kemba Walker of Connecticut was second with 11 votes. Nolan Smith of Duke had five and Jared Sullinger of Ohio State one. “To see Jimmer progress and become a leader of his team, that will be his basketball legacy,” BYU coach Dave Rose said. “He is driven not just to be the best player he can, but it was how he helped his teammates to win. He always found a way. That’s what I’ll remember most.” Fredette is the first BYU player to win the award and the first from the Mountain West since Andrew Bogut of Utah in 2005. Next up for the 6foot-3 Fredette is the NBA draft. “I just feel like as long as I can get into the right situation I can be successful, but it’s all about the situation,” he said. “Hopefully when I get in that situation I’ll prove that I can play and earn the respect of my teammates, coaches and general manager, everybody involved, and hopefully play well for them.” Brey led the Fighting Irish to a 27-7 record, their second-most wins in a season. Their 14-4 mark in the Big East tied their record for conference victories. Notre Dame was a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, losing to Florida State in the third round. Brey drew 28 votes, 14 more than runner-up Steve Fisher of San Diego State. Brey is the first Notre Dame coach to win the award, and he is the second straight Big East coach to get it following Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim last year. Winning an early season tournament in Orlando, Fla., let Brey know he had the makings of a good team. “I made sure we cut the nets down in Orlando and the Disney people said ‘We don’t do that.’ I said ‘You do this year. Get a ladder.’ As an independent for so long we didn’t have a lot of chances to cut the nets down. For the big picture and this year. That was a huge confidence boost.” Submitted photo Gallia Acadmey Middle School student Jared Stevens won the state title at the Winning Our Way State Wrestling Championship held at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio.

SUNDAY TELEVISION GUIDE MONDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �Page B6 • Sunday Times-Sentinel Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday, April 3, 2011 VanDerveer hopes week ahead ends with NCAA title UConn’s Maya Moore leads STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Tara VanDerveer woke up restless at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday and decided it was time to get to work studying up on Stanford’s next opponent. Bring on the game film. Four hours of it, in fact. Sleep, she says, will come later. “I just woke up and said, ‘Hey, might as well. I was thinking about it so I might as well just watch it. ... Why fight it, you’re thinking about it anyway,’” VanDerveer said. “I can sleep later. I feel like I have to immerse myself in watching as much as I can to really understand the team. For me that helps me the most.” VanDerveer should have quite a week ahead. Her top-seeded Cardinal (33-2) put their 27-game winning streak on the line Sunday against No. 2 seed Texas A&M in the national semifinals at Indianapolis in their fourth straight Final Four. She could be named to the Naismith Hall of Fame on Monday night. Then, she and her players hope, VanDerveer could capture her third career NCAA championship on Tuesday. VanDerveer already has a lengthy resume. She joined the elite 800 wins club back in December and coached the United States to Olympic gold at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Still, VanDerveer is pushing as hard as ever in her 32nd overall season as a college head coach, and her 25th at Stanford. Never mind that she owns a remarkable 674-146 record — that’s an .822 winning percentage — with the Cardinal and seems to have had this winning thing down pat for years. “I am very focused on preparation. For me, I really feel like I do the best job I can do when I really know a team,” VanDerveer said. “Other stuff to me, that’s something like maybe you look at a scrap book when you’re done. This is what’s real and interesting and challenging for me.” VanDerveer has acknowledged how tough it was to fall short of the Final Four several times during a 10-year drought that ended during Candice Wiggins’ sensational senior season four years ago. The veteran coach said she wondered at times if the program would ever get back to basketball’s biggest stage. Now, it’s about doing the work to make the Final Four an annual trip. Four in a row is quite a run, with Louisiana State, UConn and Tennessee the only other women’s teams to accomplish it. “There aren’t very many other programs that have done it,” VanDerveer said. “We’re in great company. (Connecticut) had their chance to win it and now we want to go back there and do that.” Especially after losing in the championship game two of the past three years, including blowing a halftime lead in last season’s title game won by the Huskies. Stanford hasn’t won it all since 1992. VanDerveer regularly gets her team geared up for the pressures of March by scheduling a preseason lineup that resembles an NCAA tournament bracket played in November and December: Rutgers, Gonzaga, Texas, DePaul, Tennessee, Xavier, UConn. Her Cardinal, coming off their 11th straight Pac10 regular-season crown and fifth consecutive title in the conference tournament, haven’t lost since back-to-back road defeats at DePaul and Tennessee in mid-December. As much as VanDerveer wants to win the championship for a team that is so special to her, her players feel the same way about doing it for their coach. “That would be amazing,” senior Kayla Pedersen said. “She definitely deserves it. To get all of those accolades, along with this team award (title) in one year would just be incredible for her and I know it would mean a lot to her, too.” VanDerveer became the fifth Division I coach to reach the 800 wins mark with a victory at San Francisco against firstyear Dons coach and former Stanford star Jennifer Azzi on Dec. 22. While bittersweet, Azzi could hardly be upset — she got to see her former coach and mentor make history. Earlier this year, VanDerveer appeared in a red Stanford singlet and headgear and hit the mat to help promote the school’s wrestling team. She promotes her players just the same, and said from the start of this NCAA tournament that she wanted to keep this close-knit group together for as many more games as possible. VanDerveer felt the same way about Wiggins as her time at Stanford wound down. “We’d be just as happy for her as she would be for us,” Pac-10 Player of the Year point guard Jeanette Pohlen said. VanDerveer has reinvented herself along the way but stuck to her basic approach of concerning herself most with her own FINAL 4 FOUR players and getting them ready than worrying about any possible distractions that come with a certain opponent. The woman who nearly became a lawyer has said she’s still having so much fun now in her career that she might try to stick around to win another 800 games. “Coach VanDerveer does a tremendous job and they have one of the best programs in the country year in and year out. To keep that level of consistency — I’m amazed that Geno (Auriemma) has been able to do that every year — is so hard,” said St. John’s coach Kim Barnes Arico, whose team lost to Stanford in the second round. “People like Tara and Geno that do that year in and year out, I just have the utmost respect for. The players in this program at Stanford are tremendous. They really play well as a team, their chemistry is really great. They have people that can do multiple things on any given night. They’re going to be fighting for a national championship. I’m completely impressed in how they do things.” VanDerveer has never hidden the fact Stanford sometimes gets overlooked — there have been several cases when she thought her team deserved a top seed in the tournament — playing out West. She also considers it her responsibility to raise the level on the left coast. And she keeps grinding, bringing in top players from around the country who fit her system. “There are a lot of things I’m proud of with our program. Consistency is one of those,” VanDerveer said. And it all starts right there, with the top woman in charge. The early bird. AP All-America team again BY DOUG FEINBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS Make it a perfect 4 for 4 for Maya Moore. The Connecticut star became only the second four-time All-American when she was honored by The Associated Press on Tuesday. She was joined on the team by Baylor’s Brittney Griner, Stanford’s Jeanette Pohlen, Texas A&M’s Danielle Adams and Ohio State’s Jantel Lavender. “It’s really special and something that I’m sure I will really appreciate more when I look back on it years from now,” said Moore, who along with former Oklahoma star Courtney Paris are the only four-time recipients. “I’ve been blessed to have had really good teammates to play with over my career.” Although Moore played down the achievement, her coach Geno Auriemma had plenty of praise for his star. “You take the points she’s scored, rebounds, steals, you add it all up, you would be hard pressed to find somebody who’s had a better career than that at Connecticut or anywhere else for that matter,” Auriemma said. Moore received 195 points and was a unanimous choice by the 39member national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25. Voting was done before the NCAA tournament. It’s the third straight year that Moore was a unanimous choice. Griner, a second-team All-American last season, helped Baylor win the Big 12 championship for the first time in six years. The 6-foot-8 sensational sophomore changes the game on both ends of the floor with her ability to alter shots and to finish on offense. Lavender earned AllAmerican honors for the second straight year. The Ohio State center put up huge numbers all season long for the Buckeyes, who had a roller-coaster year. Ohio State won its third straight Big Ten tournament championship before falling to Tennessee in the regional semifinals. “We went through some struggles this season, and I think that helped me stay focused and become an even better leader for my team,” said Lavender, whose team lost 4 of 5 games in the middle of the regular season. Adams became the first Texas A&M player to make the first team. She has helped guide the Aggies to their first 30win season and second trip to the regional finals. The 6-1 senior forward came to Texas A&M after spending two years at a junior college. Pohlen helped guide Stanford back to the Final Four for the fourth consecutive year. She had a career-high 31 points to lead the Cardinal to their victory over Connecticut that snapped the Huskies’ record 90-game winning streak. The second team consisted of Oklahoma senior Danielle Robinson, Xavier senior Amber Harris, Gonzaga senior Courtney Vandersloot, Stanford junior Nnemkadi Ogwumike and Duke senior Jasmine Thomas. The third team was: Tennessee junior Shekinna Stricklen, Miami junior Shenise Johnson, Kentucky senior Victoria Dunlap, Xavier senior Ta’Shia Phillips and Notre Dame sophomore Skylar Diggins.

The 2011-12 series marks the OVS’s 22nd season as southeast Ohio’s only professional orchestra. The five programs cover repertoire ranging from R&B to classical mainstays to holiday favorites. They also feature a lineup of world-class guest artists, including the world’s first electric harpist and a father-son team of trumpet virtuosos. That variety is key both to the OVS’s mission and its two decades of success, said Lora Lynn Snow, the orchestra’s founder and executive director. “Great music comes in all kinds of packages,” she said, “and we try to show people all the things an orchestra can do. It’s a lot more than just symphonies.” That will be clear enough to the audience from the first program, dubbed “Hip Harp” for soloist Deborah HensonConant. The Grammy-nominated performer, composer and songwriter has built a renegade image on her evocative singing voice and the 36-string, custom-built electric harness harp she plays. Her programs fuse theater, stories and virtuosic playing skill and cover genres from ballads to jazz to flamenco. For Ray Fowler, the OVS music director, HensonConant was an obvious choice. “This is a person who will reach right into the heart and soul of the audience,” he said. “She’s just so natural on stage.” It’s more than showmanship, he continued. “I was so impressed with how thoughtful she was about her choice of pieces,” Fowler said. “She wanted to choose just the right repertoire to reach our audience.” Henson-Conant’s performance opens the OVS season on Oct. 8 in Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School’s Wedge Auditorium. It’s the third year the orchestra has performed in Point Pleasant, including a concert to help dedicate the facility’s completion. “We can’t expect everyone to come to us,” Snow said, “so we’re happy to go to them to let them know about this organization.” The season’s other four performances will be at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre. The downtown Gallipolis landmark has been reborn thanks to a dedicated citizen-based restoration effort sparked by Snow. It was renamed to honor a gift by Meigs County native Ann Carson Dater, who wanted to ensure that the hall be a permanent home for the orchestra. The season’s other bookend shows a different kind of virtuosity in violinist Chin Kim. “He’ll reach the audience in a different way,” Fowler said, “and the story will be through the sounds.” Kim will play Max Bruch’s first violin concerto on April 28, 2012, as part of a program called “The Romantics.” The contrast between the two artists “is the extreme of the season,” Fowler said. It shows just how different music can be, all while touching people deeply. “The Romantics” also features one of the best-loved orchestral masterpieces of the 19th century, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4. It traces a hopeful journey against fate to a joyous finale. November brings pianist Lori Sims back to the stage of the Ariel to perform the second concerto of Johannes Brahms. Sims is “one of the best-kept secrets of the piano world,” according to Fowler. “Her playing has such integrity and such heart. She’ll bring the audience through the piece.” The Nov. 5 concert pairs the Brahms with the youthful Symphony No. 2 of Ludwig van Beethoven. For audiences who automatically equate Beethoven with forceful Romanticism, the second symphony is an eye opener full of wry humor and the kind of balance his teacher, Franz Joseph Haydn, would have approved. On March 10, 2012, the father-son team of Vincent and Gabriel DiMartino will raise the roof of the Ariel with a night of trumpet fireworks. Dad Vincent is one of the country’s most sought-after trumpet performers and educators. He’s played lead with Lionel Hampton and Chuck Mangione, and he chairs the music department of Centre College in Danville, Ky. Following in those footsteps, Gabriel -- what else could he play? -- is now a trumpet professor at New York’s Syracuse University. “For them to come together,” said Fowler, “it’s just so beautiful.” He said the closeness of their relationship comes through clearly in their performance. Besides shorter pieces showcasing their artistry, the DiMartinos will perform their own arrangement of Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Best known in Maurice Ravel’s orchestration, “Pictures” is actually a piano showpiece, and many people besides Ravel have taken on arranging it for larger groups. Audiences can safely expect the trumpet to play a prominent role in the DiMartino version. Rounding out the season is the annual “Christmas Show,” held this season on Dec. 3. Fowler has again assembled a smorgasbord of musical cheer for what has become a regional tradition. There will be arrangements of familiar carols -- including “Away in a Manger,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Silent Night” -- excerpts from seasonal films “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “The Polar Express,” and a surprise or two Fowler has discovered. Among those are the “Wassail Dances” of Philip Lane and “Bethlehem Down” by Peter Warlock. Though both English in origin, the two are very different, said Fowler. “The ‘Wassail Dances’ is a stunning piece. It totally gives me a jolt. And it appeals to the popular music lover.” By contrast, he said of the Warlock, “Bring a Kleenex! It’s so touching -- such sweetness and vulnerability.” Subscriptions to all five 2011-12 concerts are available through the Ariel-Dater box office, 426 Second Ave., Gallipolis, Call (740) 446-2787 or visit the OVS Web site, www.ohiovalleysymphony.org for more information.

She’s been sending gift packages for several years to soldiers — local ones she knew of and others whose addresses she got off the “any soldier” site on the web. However, things have changed now and the internet source with the addresses is no longer available to the public. Since Kathy definitely wants to continue the project she is now going to concentrate on remembering local men and women in the military. But to do that she needs their addresses. They can be sent to her at 38810 Township Road 404, Long Bottom, Ohio, or phoned in at 985-4184. Incidentally her project is supported greatly by the South Bethel Church with some assistance from the FEW (Federally Employed Women} of which she is a member, She says she occasionally gets a thank you letter from the soldiers receiving the packages and sometimes they tell of special personal needs not available where they’re stationed. Fleece blankets seemed to be particularly popular with some who wrote the thank you letters. Each of the boxes which Kathy mails out contain two Bibles, one for personal use, and the other to give away. ••• It seems like forever that I’ve been writing about the Heritage Trail markers which are to be placed along the trail which John Hunt Morgan and his Confederate soldiers traveled as they made their trip across Ohio to Buffington Island in Meigs County where the only significant battle of the Civil War in this state took place. Fifteen of those informational and directional signs are to be placed in Meigs County. Now for the past couple of summers I’ve reported that visitors coming to Meigs County would be able to travel here on the well-marked Heritage Trail. Wasn’t so. They never got in place as announced. However, last Charlene Hoeflich weekend at a meeting of Ohio Historical Society members and affiliates held here, the report was made that by late summer this summer all the markers will be in place. I hope so since we’re already into the celebration of the Civil War sesquicentennial. ••• While Steve Beha left his employment at Carleton School/Meigs industries a year or so ago, I find out now that he’s never lost his passion for providing services to the developmentally disabled. He’s just changed direction. His new business is called “Expanding YOUR Horizons” and is geared to programs which promote self-esteem, independence and choice through activities which lead to community inclusion. Actually what it involves is a non-medical transportation system operated by the Beha family where those with development disabilities are given the opportunity to expand their horizons through all sorts of activities. Providing door-to-door transportation the Beha family transports their clients to ball games, concerts, festivals and plays, on sightseeing trips, and provide them with opportunities to socialize not only with each other, but those with whom they come in contact with as they attend the various activities. The new program is Medicaid supported which means that it comes at no cost to the individual. Several counties, including Meigs, are included in Beha’s territory. ••• Who says there’s nothing new under the sun. Did you know that now there is neon dye for Easter eggs. Rio Grande women raise $2100 in “Hoops for Hope” cancer benefit RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College’s Hoops for Hope: Think Pink program raised more money this year than ever before to support the fight against breast cancer. The Rio Grande women’s basketball team led the project again this year, which marks the fourth year for the program on campus. Kirsten Roberson, computer specialist/assistant coach for the women’s basketball team, coordinated the program again this year, just as she has done every year that Rio Grande has been involved. “This year was a tremendous success,” Roberson said. The Hoops for Hope: Think Pink program at Rio Grande raised a record $2,100 this year. The Hoops for Hope slogan was inspired by the following quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., “If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all.” The Hoops for Hope: Think Pink program started small on campus, and it has raised more and more money each year. “This year, I wanted to expand it,” Roberson said. The most recent Hoops for Hope project involved the entire campus, as well as people and organizations from across the community. The focal point of the initiative was the Rio Grande Women’s Basketball game against Lindsey Wilson College. Both teams were given special warm-up shirts to wear, along with other items such as pink shoestrings and pink bracelets, to signify the importance of the fight against breast cancer. Also at the game, representatives from the American Cancer Society and the Holzer Health System set up booths and handed out information related to breast cancer awareness. Also during the game, the women’s basketball team took part in the “Shoot for the Cure” three-point shot fundraiser, as the three-point baskets earned additional donations for Hoops for Hope. In the week leading up to the game, several fundraisers were held on campus and in the community. The Miss Rio Pink Flamingo fundraiser, for example, worked by placing a pink flamingo in different offices on campus and then charging people a donation to remove the flamingo. Faculty, staff and administrators, headed by Phyllis Mason, all took part, and many also made additional donations for insurance so that the flamingo would not return to them.
