THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Cost of gas exceeding village budget BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The rising cost of gasoline is affecting everyone — including small municipalities like Pomeroy. This month, the gasoline bill for the village was $4,200 which includes fuel for the public works department and police department. The Village of Pomeroy has, to date, spent $17,200 on gasoline this year, according to Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Hysell. Gasoline appropriations for the entire year are placed at $55,000 which averages out to $4,583.33 a month. Unfortunately, spending $17,200 in the first three months of the year averages $5,733.35 per month, indicating the fund for gasoline could run dry before the year ends. Pomeroy is in the same boat with many other local government entities which are fighting for every dollar to keep operational. Gasoline budgets for local villages are getting hit particularly hard with the US Department of Energy predicting prices for regu- lar unleaded will average $3.86 per gallon through the summer — up 40 percent from last year. Of course regular unleaded has already surpassed $3.86 per gallon at some gas stations in Meigs County and in neighboring Mason County, W.Va., motorists are paying dangerously close to $4 per gallon with regular unleaded at $3.95 in some places. The US Department of Energy also reports an average price for regular unleaded is $3.79 nationally which is up 10 cents from last week and 93 cents from a year ago. The highest average prices for r eg u l a r unleaded are found on the West Coast which is currently averaging $4.03 for regular unleaded and in California which currently averages $4.16 per gallon for unleaded. The Midwest region is averaging $3.80 per gallon for regular, up 12 cents from last week and 97 cents from last year.

Battling domestic violence: Used cell phones needed BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Cell phones can be a lifeline, particularly for those in domestic abuse situations. The Meigs County Victims Assistance Office deals with its fair share of domestic abuse victims; victims which are often in need of a cell phone for emergency use. For this reason, staff from the victims assistance office are asking for donations of old cell phones to be distributed to domestic abuse victims for use in emergency situations only. Melissa Rizer, advocate with the office which is an arm of the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, said no talk or text minutes are added to the old phones which can only dial 911. When SIM cards are removed from the old phones, no matter what number is dialed, the call goes to the nearest 911 center. This is obviously important for domestic abuse victims who often cannot stay at home with their abuser or use a traceable landline See Phones, A5 Rio Grande students entertaining at Riverbend BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — A combined program of entertainment and education will be presented Saturday evening by the University of Rio Grande at the Riverbend Arts Council Center in Middleport.

Key Facts and Resources Working families need child care and supportive employer policies to be able to meet the needs of their young children throughout the day. • In the United States the majority of mothers with children under age 18 work, including 59% of those with infants and 74% of those with school-aged children. • Approximately 13 million infants, toddlers, and preschool children are regularly in non-parental care in the United States, including 45% of children younger than one year. • The Census Bureau reports that approximately 50% of working families rely on child care providers to help them care for their children while they work; 25% rely on relatives for child care; and nearly 25% arrange work schedules so that no child care is needed (e.g. parents work different hours or days; one parent works during school hours and is home after school). Children, especially those from low-income families, need better access to high-quality early childhood programs. • Research shows that high-quality early childhood programs help children–especially those from families with low-incomes develop the skills they need to succeed in school. However, most programs in the United States are rated mediocre, and fewer than 10% meet national accreditation standards. Across the nation child care fees average $4,000 to $10,000 per year, exceeding the cost of public universities in most states. Yet nationally only 1 in 7 children who are financially eligible for child care subsidies is being served, and only 41% of the 3 and 4 year old children living in poverty are enrolled in preschool, compared to 58% of those whose families have higher incomes. • Communities are becoming increasingly diverse and in order for early childhood educators to be effective they must be sensitive and responsive to children’s cultural and linguistic backgrounds. If current population trends continue, by the year 2010 55% of America’s children will be white, 22% will be Hispanic, 16% will be black, and 6% will be Asian or Pacific Islander. Too many children in the United States live in poverty, without good nutrition and health care. • In the United States 18% of children under age 18 and 24% of children under age 6 live in poverty. It is estimated that 12 million children do not have enough food to meet their basic needs and approximately 3.2 million are suffering from hunger. • In the United States 15% of children under age 18–and 24% of those living in poverty–are not covered by health insurance. • Approximately one-third of children and nearly one-half of black children born in the United States have at least one health risk at birth. • More than 20% of 2-year-olds in the United States are not fully immunized. What can be done? Federal, state and local government, communities, parents, and the private sector must share in the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of children and families. We can and must do more to create opportunities that help all children and families succeed. We can invest now in our children and families and enjoy long-term savings, with a more vibrant nation of healthy, achieving children and more stable families. Or we can fail to make the investment and pay the price: increased delinquency, greater educational failures, lowered productivity, less economic competitiveness, and fewer adults prepared to be effective, loving parents to the next generation of children. The Week of the Young Child is an opportunity for programs, NAEYC Affiliates, related organizations, communities, and states to focus on the needs of young children and their families. There are countless ways to celebrate the week, which is first and foremost a grassroots effort.

This provides many opportunities for new businesses and the expansion of many small/new farms. More consumers are demanding “fresh from the farm” when it comes to food safety and their health. Biofuels and other farm related alternative energy sources are becoming the norm. With all of this consumer interest — what can farmers do to sell locally grown products to meet these needs? They can start a new crop on the farm — whether it’s meat goats, cheese, honey, berries or vegetables. And at this conference — landowners can learn about the marketing and management that goes with a farm business. One farmer will even share his experiences using solar on the farm to power many of his daily activities. These are the things to be explored at the 2011 Mid-Ohio Valley Agriculure Opportunities Coinference on Saturday, April 16, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Washington State Community College, 710 Colegate Drive in Marietta. 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. After the main session — participants can find sixteen different sessions during the day which will help them find their niche in the new agricultural economy. There will be presentations on livestock, fruit, vegetables, plants, activities, marketing and management, 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 and at New York City’s Green Markets. Registration is $40 and includes lunch along with a Conference Proceedings with details from all presentations from the entire conference.

Dear Dr. Brothers: Our son is the captain of the junior-high wrestling team. He takes his sport very seriously, almost as a religion. Last week he came back from school very depressed. He told his dad that in this next match, his opponent is going to be a girl, and he doesn’t want to wrestle her. I was shocked to hear my husband tell him that he is supposed to do anything the coach asks of him. I think my son is right — what do you think? — S.E. Dear S.E.: In a perfect world, wrestling between the sexes might be confined to young siblings having pillow fights, or couples engaging in some playful foreplay. But in the real world of the 21st century, there are some instances in which boys and girls are scheduled to wrestle against one another on school teams. Apparently there aren’t enough girls interested in the sport to form their own leagues in more than a few states, so if they are determined to wrestle, they will be doing it in whatever forum is allowed them. And this does raise a lot of issues for guys like your son. It’s something your husband should think about. As a young teenager, your son is just forming his concepts of masculinity, femininity and appropriate behavior. It may go against all his instincts to be rough and physical with a girl — he may even still be at the stage where he’s uncomfortable socializing with them! Add to that the obvious physical difficulties should the wrestling match light a fire to his hormones, and you have an extremely unpleasant situation. You might suggest that your son talk to the coach about these issues, but you should be prepared to back him up should he be unable to resolve his negative feelings about the match. In any case, you should be proud of him for being sensitive enough to stop and think. Sometimes just following orders isn’t the best idea. Dear Dr. Brothers: I know you have heard it all before, but when my son comes home from school and says the teacher hates him, can I take him seriously? Or is this just something kids say? I went to a conference with Dr. Joyce Brothers the teacher in question, and it is true that she didn’t really have much to say about my son other than that he sometimes “indulges in attentionseeking behaviors.” That’s how she talked. Anyway, what can I do to help my son change his attitude? — L.B. Dear L.B.: I believe that there definitely is a chance that your son and the teacher have a bit of a personality conflict. Although everyone likes to think that teachers are perfectly neutral or that they secretly like our kid best, it is hard to come to terms with the idea that your child is seen as obnoxious or needy or in any way unappealing when you love him unconditionally. But if you are going to face facts, you will have to acknowledge that your son probably is going to have to make an effort to win over the teacher if he wants to succeed in her class. This doesn’t mean sucking up to her, but as you recognized, he may need an attitude adjustment. Explain to him that the teacher doesn’t hate him at all, but that she is having a difficult time teaching the class when some kids interrupt or have the other kids looking at them instead of at the teacher. Help him to see the class from her point of view and imagine what he would do if someone kept jumping up or calling out or making funny sounds while he was trying to teach. Ask him to sit through just one class only listening and responding to the teacher, and have him tell you how he does. And then ask the teacher to acknowledge his efforts in class if he improves his listening skills. With some positive reinforcement on all sides, your son eventually should have ample reason to believe that the teacher likes him after all.

Easter Egg Hunt Sunday 2pm 60186579 �OPINION Page 4 Thursday, April 14, 2011 Budget pact barely touches current-year deficit BY ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS AP-GFK POLL Are your taxes fair? Most say yes BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER ASSOCIATED PRESS For all the complaining this time of year, most Americans actually think the taxes they pay are fair. Not that they’re cheering. Fewer people expect refunds this year than in previous years, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. But as Monday’s filing deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared with 46 percent who say they are unfair. Should taxes be raised to eat into huge federal deficits? Among the public, 62 percent say they favor cutting government services to sop up the red ink. Just 29 percent say raise taxes. That’s sure to be a major issue as Congress takes up budget legislation for next year and the 2012 presidential campaign gets under way in earnest. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama revived his proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help reduce government borrowing. In the poll, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to think their tax bills were fair. Liberals and moderates were more likely to think so than conservatives. Women more likely than men. Most whites thought their tax bills were fair; most non-whites didn’t. The young and the old — adults under 30 and seniors 65 and above — were much more likely to say their taxes were fair than those in their prime earning years. Surprisingly, there was little difference in the perception of fairness across income levels. But just because people say they pay a fair amount doesn’t mean that they think others do. Sandra Jennings, a retired teacher in South Bend, Ind., said her federal taxes are fair, but she thinks rich people get off too easily. Rich people, she said in an interview, “get all these loopholes. The middle class does not have loopholes.” Mari Lemelson of Edison, N.J., said, “I have a big problem with the millionaires, at least what I understand to be the millionaires’ tax breaks.” Jim Martel, an electrician from Weymouth, Mass., said his tax bill is already unfair, but he would be willing to pay more if he thought the money would be spent wisely. He’s not optimistic. “If I thought people in office had the right thing in mind and they were doing the right thing with the money instead of blowing it and wasting it and funding these stupid projects that are totally ridiculous, I wouldn’t have a problem with it,” Martel said. “But they don’t, so that’s what bothers me.” Monday is the filing deadline for federal tax returns — three days later than usual because a local holiday is being observed in the nation’s capital on Friday, the traditional deadline. Federal tax receipts are projected to hit their lowest level in 60 years when measured as a share of the overall economy. Tax receipts dipped during the recession and have stayed low in part because Congress has extended Bush-era tax cuts at every income level, leaving federal rates unchanged for much of the past decade. Residents in many states, however, have faced higher taxes because — unlike the federal government — states, school districts and municipalities must balance their budgets each year. The share of the public believing their tax bills were fair was nearly identical to an AP poll taken in 2007, even though fewer people than in the past said they expect to get refunds this year. Fifty-one percent of those polled said they expected refunds this year, down The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Many people who don’t expect refunds could be in for a pleasant surprise. Through March 25, about 87 percent of the individual returns processed by the Internal Revenue Service qualified for refunds. That’s about the same rate through the same period as last year. Ultimately, about 85 percent of individual returns qualified for refunds last year, totaling about $360 billion. The refunds averaged $3,000, about the same amount as so far this year. Economists say tax refunds typically provide a boost to the economy each spring. This year, however, more people say they plan to save, invest or use their refunds to pay down debts. Only 27 percent of the people surveyed said they plan to simply spend their tax refund, down from 38 percent in 2009. Forty-five percent said they would save or invest their refunds, compared with 35 percent in 2009. Forty-four percent said they would pay down debt, compared with 37 percent in 2009. “A lot of people got caught with too much debt going into this recession and may well take this as an opportunity to reduce their debt level rather than go out and rent that summer house,” said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor’s in New York. “When they’re scared, they are more likely to save it than if they are happy and feel like the good times will continue forever.” The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted March 24-28 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,001 adults nationwide and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution A new budget estimate released Wednesday shows that the spending bill negotiated between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner would produce less than 1 percent of the $38 billion in promised savings by the end of this budget year. The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would cut federal outlays from non-war accounts by just $352 million through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in immediate cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending. When war funding is factored in the legislation would actually increase total federal outlays by $3.3 billion relative to current levels. To a fair degree, the lack of immediate budget-cutting punch is because the budget year is more than half over and that cuts in new spending authority typically are slow to register on deficit tallies. And Republicans promise that when fully implemented and repeated year after year, the cuts in the measure would reduce the deficit by $315 billion over the coming decade. Still, the analysis is an early lesson about Washington budgeting for junior lawmakers elected last year on promises to swiftly attack the deficit. The House began preliminary debate on the measure Wednesday with it easily advancing over a procedural hurdle by a 241-179 vote. The measure appears on track to pass the House and Senate this week before a stopgap spending measure expires Friday at midnight despite opposition from some of the GOP’s most ardent budget cutters. The budget deficit is projected at $1.6 trillion this year. The CBO study confirms that the measure trims $38 billion in new spending authority relative to current levels, but many of the cuts come in slow-spending accounts like water-and-sewer grants that don’t have an immediate deficit impact. A separate CBO analysis provided to lawmakers but not released publicly says that $5.7 billion in savings claimed by cutting bonuses to states enrolling more children and reducing the amount of money available to subsidize health care cooperatives authorized under the new health care law won’t produce a dime of actual savings. CBO believes they are simply cuts to spending authority that is unlikely to be used anyway. But those cuts to mandatory benefit programs, while producing no deficit savings, can be claimed under budget rules to pay for spending increases elsewhere in the legislation. All told, $17.8 million in such savings is claimed but just a tiny portion of it would actually reduce the deficit. But CBO does credit a move to eliminate yearround Pell Grants with generating more than $40 billion in deficit reduction over the coming decade from both mandatory and appropriated accounts, though just slightly less than $1 billion this year. Still, the measure halts and begins to reverse large increases for domestic agency operating budgets that have been awarded during Obama’s first two years in office. “With this bill we not only are arresting that growth but we are reducing actual discretionary spending by a record amount, nearly $40 billion in actual cuts in spending that has not ever been accomplished by this body in its history, in the history of the country,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky. “The cuts in this bill exceed anything ever passed by the House.” Republicans say they wish the measure would cut more but that the cuts negotiated by Boehner are about as good as can be expected giver that Democrats hold the Senate and the White House. In his February budget, Obama pressed a freeze on domestic agency accounts. “We continue to push this president to places he never said he would go,” said House GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy of California. “The president said he would freeze spending. Our Speaker negotiated, outnumbered 3-1,” he said, referring to Boehner’s negotiations alone in the oval office with Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “We have cut spending."

Plans were discussed for the Association’s annual duck derby held in conjunction with the Sternwheel Riverfest in September and ways of increasing interest in the event. At the suggestion of Dan Short, president, a fourwheeler will be the grand prize this year for the numbered ticket holder of the first duck floating down the river to cross the finish line. Ticket sales at $10 each will begin in June. The vehicle will be displayed around town and at the festivals. The awarding of the grand prize will be contingent on the sale of a minimum of 400 tickets. The holder of the winning ticket does not have to be present to win the prize. Susan Clark-Dingess reported that the new banners for the period lamp posts will be arriving in May. One set is done in different colors and marked with a large “P” for Pomeroy, while the other set depicts current business activities.

Included in the cast are four theatre students from Wales, as well as area adults, children and Rio students. The program is sponsored in part by the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, and Friends of the Davis Library, in observance of National Poetry Month and National Library Week, April 10-16. At 8 p.m. there will be a story theater performance “What is a Welshman?” which is a 45-minute program developed from the Welsh exchange students personal experiences, family stories, Welsh myths, legends and history. When the Welsh exchange students from the University of Wales arrived in January they were challenged to develop and perform a program titled “What is a Welshman?” using personal stories, family stories, local stories, myths and legends. The fundamental theme they were to explore in their stories was “personal dignity.” Actors in the presentation will be Dion Jones of Porthmadog in North Wales, described as a avid guitar player who enjoys singing, acting and working out; Ceri Lewis of Caernartfon in North Wales, a member of the National Youth Theater of the Urdd who performed in the National Eisteddfod of Wales; Laura Thomas, who comes from Clicennin and is a member of the Trinity Choir described as loving to talk, work, and sing. Others are Elin-Wyn Williams who grew upon a farm in North Wales who loves singing in the Trinity Choir and competing along with dance and acting; Lucy Hannah Thomas who grew up in a household of six girls in Nantycawswho graduated from Trinity College in 2009 and spent a summer as camp counselor in upstate New York and is now a volunteer intern at the Madog Center; and Nathan Woods of Gallia County, a music education major who traveled to Wales one summer to perform during the Trinity Arts Festival. There is no charge to attend either or both of the performances, according to Mary Wise, Riverbend Arts Council president. Shooting From Page A1 counts of discharge of a firearm on or near a prohibited premises. Price, then 19, was shot twice and a female juvenile was wounded in the leg in the shooting. Crawford is charged with shooting at the two as Price drove by and stopped in front of her home on County Road 10. Crawford was scheduled to go to trial on April 8, but an entry filed in the case continues it until a change of plea hearing on April 20. Crawford has been under house arrest since September, when she was permitted to post 10 percent of a reduced $170,000 bond. She was placed on house restraint, ordered to remain on her 170-acre farm, and be available to the court by telephone at all times. Crawford must pay any costs associated with her house monitoring. She was also prohibited from contacting the victims in the case. Deputies with the county sheriff’s department and investigators with Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation were among witnesses who received subpoenas to appear at the trial in Common Pleas Court. In an unrelated entry filed April 8, Magistrate Linda R. Warner permitted Crawford to attend church services on Carpenter Hill Road on Wednesday evenings, Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings until she appears in court for sentencing. Crawford is represented in the criminal case by Gallipolis Attorney William Eachus. Phones From Page A1 or established cell phone number — some high-tech cell phones can be used to follow a person’s whereabouts. The victims assistance office has been working with Meigs EMS and 911 as to how the phones would work. Rizer said with so many people upgrading to new phones, most everyone has an old cell phone laying around in an old drawer — these a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. There are guidelines for phone safety when it comes to use by abused or battered women. According to Helpguide.org, some of the following tips apply: When seeking help for domestic violence, call from a public pay phone or another phone outside the house if possible. Calls made to 911 can be made for free on most public phones. Avoid cordless telephones. If you’re calling from your home, use a corded phone if you have one, rather than a cordless phone or cell phone. A corded phone is more private, and less easy to tap. Call collect or use a prepaid phone card. Remember that if you use your own home phone or telephone charge card, the phone numbers that you call will be listed on the monthly bill that is sent to your home. Even if you’ve already left by the time the bill arrives, your abuser may be able to track you down by the phone numbers you’ve called for help. Check your cell phone settings. There are cell phone technologies your abuser can use to listen in on your calls or track your location. Your abuser can use your cell phone as a tracking device if it has GPS, is in “silent mode,” or is set to “auto answer.” So consider turning it off when not in use or leaving it behind when fleeing your abuser. Get your own cell phone. Consider purchasing a prepaid cell phone or another cell phone that your abuser doesn’t know about. Some domestic violence shelters offer free cell phones to battered women. Call your local hotline to find out more. For more information on donating or receiving a free cell phone for emergency use only, call the victims assistance office at 992-1720.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Walk From Page A1 diagnosed each week. Internationally, MS affects about 2.5 million people. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society works with a vast network of volunteers to raise funds for MS research. One of the largest efforts is the annual Walk MS event. The local Walk MS: Gallipolis 2011 event is scheduled for Saturday, April 16 at Haskins Memorial Park in Gallipolis. Event organizers will begin registration at 8:30 a.m. with the walk slated to begin at 10 a.m. This year’s Walk MS ambassador is Deidre Wilson of Gallipolis. Wilson, 30, was diagnosed with MS in 2006. She said that the disease has affected every facet of her life. “I am unable to continue in the career I was trained. I have a hard time walking and functioning normally at times,” she said. “I have a son who was only 7 when I got sick and at the time I was a single parent and realized that I now cannot go run around, play ball, hike or even take a walk anymore. “At that age he understood as good as a 7-year old could. He is now 11 and loves taking care of me,” she added. Wilson is involved with the National MS SocietyOhio Valley Chapter and participates in the Walk MS event with her group Deidre’s Divas. “I felt the need to help assist in the effort to raise awareness for the ailment I am now very close to,” Wilson said. “The experience can only be described as overwhelming due to the amazing response from our community. I am proud to say Deidre’s Diva’s has participated for three years now.” Wilson said she encourages everyone to participate in Walk MS. “It’s important to be aware of all the things that could become a part of your life or someone you love,” she said. “Being involved in such a cause will help you to make a difference in someone’s life.” For information about the Walk MS: Gallipolis 2011 event, contact event manager Eddie Rauen at (513) 769-4400, or e-mail eddie.rauen@nmss.org.

This is because the West Virginia Athletic Commission must train referees and judges and adopt rules for the competitions, Commission Chairman Steve Allred said. The Legislature specified that the sport’s unified rules must be used in West Virginia. The unified rules are those used in every state where mixed martial arts have been sanctioned. “This is a matter of the commission getting together with our legal counsel,” Allred said. “We’ve not been deeply involved with rule writing in the past.” Among other things, the rules prohibit certain types of holds and establish weight classes and round lengths, said Sam Minardi, a former member of the state Athletic Commission and a lobbyist who pushed for the legalization of the sport in West Virginia. In mixed martial arts, two combatants employ techniques from several sports, including boxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu and judo. The sport has become very popular over the past decade with promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce selling millions of dollars in tickets and generating even more cash through payper-view sales. The Ultimate Fighting Championship, a subsidiary of Zuffa, has been pushing for legalization of president of regulatory and government affairs with the UFC. The company also lobbied here, and its promotion, which is the most popular in the sport, is hoping to bring an event to West Virginia when the rule-writing process has been completed. “We want to give the commission a chance to wrap up the rules and get some refs and judges trained,” Ratner said. He said the Charleston Civic Center would be a “perfect” spot to hold a mixed martial arts event. The Mardi Gras Casino and Resort as well as The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs are other ideal locations. Although the event likely would not be a major pay-per-view show, Ratner thinks it would be broadcast on cable TV. The larger, pay-per-view shows are normally held in large venues such as those in Las Vegas. Ratner, who was the director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission for 14 years, believes an event in West Virginia would have a major impact on the local economy, despite the fact that it would be held at a smaller venue than those in a fight Mecca like Las Vegas. “When we come in for a television show, we have about 200 people involved between the fighters, their trainers and family and the television crew,” Ratner said. “And they’re in a town for about three days.” The ticket sales for such an event could fall between $500,000 and $700,000 depending on how the gate is priced, he ize amateur bouts in the state. He said it’s hard for amateurs to move to professional when they have to travel out of state to compete and hone their skills. “We only have a handful of pro fighters in the state right now,” Hiles said. There will be a learning curve involved in holding mixed martial arts matches in the state, said Jerry Thomas, a fight promoter in Clarksburg. Thomas has held five mixed martial arts events in Ohio in the past few years. Thomas said he is exploring whether or not to organize mixed martial arts events in the state. Thomas owns and promotes the West Virginia Toughman Contest, an amateur boxing tournament brand name in North Central West Virginia. He has been promoting fights for 33 years. Thomas said the events in Ohio were very successful, and that success could extend to the Mountain State. However, he said a promoter would need to be familiar with the sport. For example, mixed martial arts competitions need an elevated spot for the matches. This is because competitors are permitted to grapple and can end up on the ground. That makes it difficult for spectators to watch if there is not an elevated platform or elevated seating, Thomas said. “That was something I learned when I held those matches in Ohio,” Thomas said. Thomas said he would like to see a mixed bag of combat sports, with boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts on the ticket. trainer Butch Hiles also believes the events would be a boon to the local economy. Hiles, a professional mixed martial artist, owns Butch Hiles Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA gym on Summers Street in Charleston. “I’m involved with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and it’s all about getting heads in beds,” Hiles said. “And MMA events would be a huge economic impact for the state.” Hiles believes an event would draw spectators from around West Virginia as well as surrounding states. Hiles, who has had his gym in Charleston since 2000, believes more gyms will start popping up. This could lead to more business and occupation taxes for cities where the gyms are located, he said. “It’s just going to get bigger and better here,” he said. However, Hiles said he has little faith in the Athletic Commission expediting the process because the organization vocally opposed legalizing mixed martial arts when the bill was up for debate. “We still have the same commission that didn’t want it here in the first place,” he said. Allred disagreed, saying although he opposed legalizing the sport, he had been charged with regulating it by the Legislature and that trumped any opinions he held. “It’s irrelevant what I think about the sport personally,” he said. “I work for the state.” Hiles also expressed MIDWAY, Ky. (AP) — As star-struck visitors approached a lush green paddock at Three Chimneys Farm, the stately thoroughbred Big Brown was right on cue. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner ambled up to the plank fence and calmly posed like a movie star on the red carpet. Jennifer Riggle stretched her arm, camera in hand, and clicked photos of the celebrity horse. Riggle, a high school senior from Huntington, Ind., spent spring break in Kentucky horse country with her mother and a teenage friend. They toured several horse farms, strolled around the Kentucky Horse Park and took in a day of racing at venerable Keeneland race track in nearby Lexington. Riggle, 18, said it was better than hanging out on a beach. “Getting a tan would be nice,” she said. “But this is so much better. It’s like going to Hollywood and seeing celebrities. I saw a horse that’s worth how many millions of dollars?” Sleek thoroughbreds are the stars in Kentucky’s bluegrass region, and there’s no better time to visit than spring, in the weeks before and after the May 7 Kentucky Derby. Foals are frolicking in pastures, their mothers hovering nearby. Flowers are blooming and trees are budding, adding splashes of pink, yellow and white to panoramic scenes of green pastures and black plank fences snaking along the rolling countryside. Fans flock to Keeneland race track, and later in the spring to Churchill Downs, the iconic Louisville track that’s home to the Kentucky Derby. “It’s the best time of year to drive through Kentucky and see all the farms and just experience what horse country really is,” said Jen Roytz, marketing director at Three Chimneys Farm, a popular destination. Three Chimneys covers about 2,300 acres, but public tours are limited to the stallion and breeding operation, where some famous names ply their trade in perpetuating the bloodlines that could produce the next Triple Crown champion. The hour-long walking tours are available Tuesdays through Saturdays throughout the year based on demand, with a few exceptions. The farm limits visits during the busy Derby week, but will offer an open house to the public on May 5 — the Thursday before the Derby. The open house, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT, will give visitors a firsthand look at the farm’s stallion operations. The peak time for public tours is in spring and again in fall when there’s live racing at Keeneland, a 10- or 15-minute drive away. The farm charges $10 per person for tours, and the proceeds go to charities. During the tours, visitors follow the footsteps of the stately stallions, with glimpses into their pampered lives.

Barry Bonds found guilty of obstruction of justice SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal jury convicted Barry Bonds of a single charge of obstruction of justice Wednesday but failed to reach a verdict on the three counts at the heart of allegations that he knowingly used steroids and human growth hormone and lied to a grand jury about it. Following a 12-day trial and almost four full days of deliberation, the jury of eight women and four men could reach a unanimous verdict only on one of the four counts against Bonds. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston declared a mistrial on the others, a messy end to a case that put the slugger — and baseball itself — under a cloud of suspicion for more than three years. Bonds sat stone-faced through the verdict, displaying no emotion. His legal team immediately asked that the guilty verdict be thrown out and Illston did not rule on the request. She set May 20 for a hearing in the case. The case also represented the culmination of the federal investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroids ring. Federal prosecutors and the Justice Department will have to decide whether to retry Bonds on the unresolved counts. The counts that the jury could not resolve accused of Bonds of lying to the grand jury investigating BALCO in 2003 when he said he never knowingly took steroids or HGH, and when he said he was never injected by anyone except his doctors. The maximum sentence for the obstruction of justice count is 10 years in prison, but federal guidelines called for 15-21 months. For similar offenses in the BALCO case, Illston sentenced cyclist Tammy Thomas to six months of home confinement and track coach Trevor Graham to one year of home confinement. Bonds walked out of the courthouse with his lawyers, who instructed him not to comment because they said the case isn’t over. Impeccably dressed in suit and tie, Bonds flashed a victory sign to a few fans. “Are you celebrating tonight?” one asked. “There’s nothing to celebrate,” he replied. Lead defense attorney Allen Ruby said the prosecution failed to prove the heart of its case. The obstruction of justice count was a complicated charge that asked jurors to decide if Bonds was being evasive when making any one of seven statements to the grand jury. He was convicted on a single statement about his childhood as the son of major leaguer Bobby Bonds and his relationship with personal trainer Greg Anderson — it did not address performanceenhancing drugs. The government “has determined it’s unlawful for Barry Bonds to tell the grand jury he’s a celebrity child and to talk about his friendship with Greg Anderson,” Ruby said. The foreman of the jury, who would only give his first name, Fred, said if prosecutors want to “pursue this case, they’re going to have to do more homework than they did.” A juror who also gave just her first name, Amber, said that the final votes were 8-4 to acquit Bonds of lying about steroids and 9-3 to acquit him on lying about HGH use. The panel voted 11-1 to convict him of getting an injection from someone other than his doctor, with one woman holding out, she said. The so-called needle count accused Bonds of lying when he said that no one other than his doctors injected him with anything. His personal shopper, Kathy Hoskins, testified that she saw Anderson inject Bonds in the navel before a roadtrip in 2002. Hoskins was not sure what substance was being injected. Amber noted that Bonds’ former mistress, Kimberly Bell, testified he complained of soreness from injections. “That’s what kind of stuck out for me,” the juror said. The jury foreman said the woman who held out on the needle count did so because Hoskins was the only eyewitness. U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said prosecutors were gratified by the guilty count and had not decided whether to seek a retrial on the remaining charges. “This case is about upholding one of the most fundamental principles in our system of justice — the obligation of every witness to provide truthful and direct testimony in judicial proceedings,” Haag said in a statement. “In the United States, taking an oath and promising to testify truthfully is a serious matter. We cannot ignore those who choose instead to obstruct justice.” Now 46, Bonds set baseball’s career home run record with 762 while playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants from 1986-2007. The jury met less than two miles from the ballpark where the seventime NL MVP played for his last 15 years. Bonds was indicted on Nov. 15, 2007, exactly 50 days after taking his final big league swing and 100 after topping Hank Aaron’s career home run mark of 755. He also set the season record with 73 home runs in 2001 with the Giants. Illston would not let prosecutors present evidence of three alleged positive drug tests by Bonds because Anderson refused to testify and there was no one to confirm the samples came from Bonds. Bonds acknowledged that he did take steroids but said Anderson misled him into believing they were flaxseed oil and arthritis cream. Anderson was sentenced by Illston in 2005 to three months in prison and three months in home confinement after pleading guilty to one count of money laundering and one count of steroid distribution. The trainer was jailed on March 22 for the duration of the trial after again refusing to testify against Bonds. He was released last Friday. 2011 GALLIA COUNTY TRI-MEET RESULTS GIRLS Team scores: 1.
