POMEROY — Local governments in Meigs County, including the county’s operating budget, and those of villages and townships, will not lose revenue from the state after all, if the Senate passes a budget approved Friday by the Ohio House. State Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Athens, said counties like Meigs which Page 5 • Ardith V. Hart WEATHER “As it now stands as passed in the House, any county receiving less than $500,000 last fiscal year through Local Government Fund will not see a reduction,” Phillips said. Last year, Meigs County’s general fund received $260,000. LGF money is also distributed to the county for payment to villages and townships. Local officials at all levels were sweating over proposed 25-percent reductions in local government revenue from the state, taking those proposed state-level cuts into consideration alongside other revenue reductions due to the general economic condition. Susan Baker, fiscal officer for Middleport, said the reduction in LGF revenue was just par of a bigger concern the village has over its budget.

Around 10 members of the team made the trip to Alabama after being alerted by the United Methodist Organization for Relief which provides members emergency training and is affiliated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The SEOM Emergency Response Team responded with its own trailer filled with donated items - the trailer was purchased by Racine United Methodist Church, one of four churches which make up the SEOM. The trailer was purchased and team organized after being inspired by all the help and support received in the area during the Athens and Reedsville tornadoes. The local team, comprised of volunteers, left for Alabama on May 4 and returned on May 8. Pastor Bill Marshall of East Letart and Racine UM Churches, said he’d never seen such devastation in one area as witnessed in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Ala. While the team was on the ground in Alabama, members cut trees and helped tornado victims gather what items they could though Marshall said there was little to be found. Marshall described the area as resembling Hiroshima after the atomic bomb. “There was just nothing left,” Marshall said.

POMEROY — Sending a child to public school is just one way of educating a child. There are other ways and it was to make parents aware of alternatives to public school that the first Education Options Fair was held this week at the Pomeroy Library. Informational displays relating to other ways of educating chil- dren, ranging from traditional homeschooling and virtual forms of home instruction, to church affiliated schools, were presented at the fair. Representatives of the various organizations offering options were on hand to enlighten parents as to programming methods and materials needed to carry out homebased or other alternative forms of education.

Northups address Gallia County garden clubs spring meeting BY MAXIE OLIVER SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE GALLIPOLIS — Representatives from Gallipolis, Floral Friends, Open Gate and Cheshire Garden Clubs and guests, met at the Holzer Senior Care Center for a spring meeting. Katie Shoemaker, Gallia County Chairperson, called the meeting to order, and observed a moment of silence for our previous regional director who recently lost her husband to cancer. A short business meeting was held, and then Mrs. Shoemaker introduced the speakers for the evening for a program on Goat Farming and Gardening. Richard and Sara Northup are owners of a 300 acre farm on Raccoon Creek where they raise several breeds of goats which are sold to people who want to breed the goats for various reasons. Some unknown facts about goats were that they are important domestic animals in many parts of the world. They also provide substance in the form of food and clothing. The rising demand for goat meat, milk, and cheese offers commercial goat production opportunities. Goats are wonderful to raise for pure enjoyment or hobby, especially the Pygmy goat. The type of goat selected depends on desired purpose — hobby, show, or commercial production of meat, milk, or mohair/ cashmere. Seventy percent of the meat consumed in the world is goat meat and is the preferred food for growing ethnic groups in North America. The Nubian goat is raised for their milk, the Boer goat for their meat, the Angora goat for mohair, and Pygmy goats as a hobby. Sara is enthusiastic about raising different plants and vegetables for health and exercise. As Richard and Sara Northup a registered nurse, she is well aware of the benefits of an active life and gets all the exercise she needs working on the farm and taking care of her many pets. We then had roll call and a report from Phyllis Mason, President of Gallipolis Garden Club, of the regional meeting held at The Plains on Saturday. Our own Jackie Davis of the Open Gate Garden Club was nominated to be the next regional director and will be installed at the regional meeting to be held in Gallipolis in October. A list of upcoming activities planned by OAGC was passed out and everyone was encouraged to attend the Convention at Shawnee State Park, Portsmouth, Ohio on July 18-20. The theme this year will be “Island Paradise.” Registration deadline is July 1, 2011. Floral Friends prepared refreshments and door prizes were given to all present.

We are an African-American family who live in an all-white subdivision, and it seems like our little girl will never get the same experience I had as a child. Where I grew up, all our family lived on the same block, attended the same church and listened to the same stories at our weekly block parties. How important is racial identity to a child’s well-being? — R.P. Dear R.P.: You don’t mention if your daughter has made friends in the neighborhood, or if she has friends of her own race and others at school. If she seems lonely or unhappy, you might have an issue, but if she is comfortable moving in and out of various circles, there’s little reason for you to be concerned about her wellbeing. It is great that you have good memories of your childhood and a close-knit set of friends. Your daughter’s experience undoubtedly will be different, but not necessarily worse. Still, there is much to be said for your daughter being exposed to other African-American children and forming friendships within her own racial group. In fact, some research just reported in the journal Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology has emphasized the importance to happiness of identifying with a racial identity. The key is to keep the lines of communication open so you know how she’s doing. Dr. Joyce Brothers ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: One of my good friends is very prone to making her life as dramatic as possible. She turns everything into a major event, so it’s sometimes difficult to tell when there’s really something wrong. Last week, she got into a minor fender-bender. Both she and the car were pretty much unharmed, but the way she’s been acting, you would think she cheated death. I feel I’m consoling her way too much for something so minor — but what would be the alternative? — K.F. Dear K.F.: It seems in every social group there is always at least one drama queen — and let me guess, this woman probably is not too happy unless she is the center of attention. These types seem to feed off their reflected glory, which is what you are dishing out to her when you give her excessive amounts of attention. But you already know that. It’s really not your fault; when someone makes everything into such a big, dramatic deal, it’s hard to shrug it all off. You risk looking like a cold-hearted, fair-weather friend, and now she has a new drama to exploit!

Kidsʼ author to speak at Bossard Library STAFF REPORT GALLIPOLIS — Award-winning children’s author David M. Schwartz will speak at the Dr. Samuel L. Bossard Memorial Library at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. Schwartz is the author of “How Much is a Million?” and almost 50 other books, including “If You Made a Million,” “G is for Googol,” “Q Is for Quark,” “If You Hopped Like a Frog, and the “Look Once, Look Again” science series. His recent book “Where In the Wild?” is the winner of many awards, including the prestigious SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books, sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Subaru. A popular speaker for children and educators, Schwartz emphasizes the importance of mathematics in everyone’s life, and the many connections between math, science and literacy. “Children love numbers,” Schwartz says, “and when they see how numbers connect to their everyday lives, they can get really excited about math.” At schools, he uses amusing props to make mathematical concepts come alive as he leads his audience on a fascinating journey through a world better understood through mathematics. In his presentations, as in his books, Schwartz is both entertaining and educational. His assembly programs often leave children laughing, even screaming, with excitement. Teachers comment that students are inspired in both math and writing. With his insights on linking math and science with literature, Schwartz has often been invited to be a keynote speaker at conferences for teachers, librarians and other educators all over the United States. He has spoken at hundreds of schools around the world. Since its publication in 1985, Schwartz’s first book, “How Much Is A Million?,” has become a classic of children’s mathematical literature. Illustrated by Steven Kellogg, it has won many awards and was featured on Public Television’s “Reading Rainbow.” It was a main selection of the Children’s Book of the Month Club. Inspired by Schwartz’s book, children in hundreds of schools have undertaken projects based on the number 1,000,000 (one million). At some schools and public libraries, children have attempted to read a million pages and have gained local or national fame along the way. Other schools have collected a million pennies and used the money to buy books for the school library.

BY KATHY GANNON ASSOCIATED PRESS The twin towers in New York were still smoldering in September 2001 when Pakistan spy chief Gen. Mahmood Ahmed went to Afghanistan with the task of urging the Taliban to hand over alQaida leader Osama bin Laden. The message he actually gave Mullah Mohammed Omar was quite different: “Protect Osama. Hide him. We will help you,” according to former Taliban deputy interior minister Mullah Mohammed Khaksar. His version has been confirmed by U.S. officials and former Pakistani spies. A decade later, the U.S. has raised a stinging question: Did Pakistan’s premier spy agency, the ISI, know that bin Laden had been living for at least five years near a military garrison in Abbottabad? The answer is quite likely yes, according to ex-ISI agents, military men and analysts, but the issue is really who knew and how close they might have been to the top. A week after Navy SEALS killed bin Laden, the U.S. has demanded the names of ISI operatives from Pakistan to investigate what dealings they may have had with al-Qaida. An ISI official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no formal inquiry was being held, and that it was “no one’s concern” whether Pakistan investigated how bin Laden had lived under the nose of the military without detection. At the heart of the matter is the long, complicated relationship between the ISI and various militant groups. The ISI, which is part of Pakistan’s military, has a history of spawning and funding jihadi groups to fight India, in particular for the disputed territory of Kashmir. Pakistan’s military relies heavily on these groups in the absence of the conventional might to take on India, said defense analyst Ayesha Siddiqua. For example, Pakistan has hosted training camps for militants and has sent them across the border into India, according to U.S. intelligence reports. “How else do you fight?” Siddiqua asked. “It is the Pakistan version of private security guards.” However, some of these jihadi groups have links to al-Qaida and share with it a militant Islamic philosophy. Harakat-uljihad-Islam, the leader of the Illyas Kashmiri group against India, is also believed by Western intelligence to be al- Qaida’s operational chief in Pakistan. And Lashkar e-Taiba, which the U.S. calls a terrorist group, is thought to have close funding and operational ties to al-Qaida. Former President Pervez Musharraf long ago promised to cut off close ties with militants, but there is no evidence that he followed through. Pakistan also claims that it has purged religious extremists from the ISI over the past decade. The ISI did drop Gen. Ahmed soon after the 9/11 attacks, at the insistence of the United States, and Musharraf has handed over senior al-Qaida operatives such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubayda and Ramzi Binalshib to the United States. In a WikiLeaks diplomatic cable dating to May 12, 2008, a U.S. delegation asked Musharraf for his views on reports that the Pakistan army and ISI were complicit in allowing militant activities to continue. Musharraf did not give a direct response, but talked instead about the job of catching militants. “Musharraf said that it wasn’t as easy as it appeared,” the cable notes. “The mountainous terrain, poor communications, and local supporters impeded efforts to capture and kill these militants.” Despite his protests, experts say, Musharraf grew up under a religious regime and understands the power of religiously motivated uprisings. If anything, the ISI may be as fundamentalist as ever, partly because military personnel from a time when the army was openly involved with militants still work in operations, Siddiqua said. The ISI also falls under suspicion because bin Laden went undetected despite the many security guards and officers in Abbottabad, a leafy city of 400,000 people close to Islamabad. Al-Qaida has a history in the area: Senior Indonesian alQaida operative Umar Patek was arrested there in January, based on information from a captured al-Qaida member, an intelligence official said. And in 2003, raids were conducted in Abbottabad looking for al-Qaida senior lieutenant Abu Laith al-Libi, who was eventually caught not far away in Mardan in 2005. Retired military officer Lt. Gen. Talat Masood conceded that some people within the establishment were likely suspicious about the occupants of the whitewashed, three-story house in a middle-class area of Abbottabad. However, Masood said, most would The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Security officers at airports and border crossings in Pakistan are often bribed to ignore suspicious movements. “The most charitable explanation you can give is that it was at the local level of the police, or some local authority, or someone who carried a lot of weight and influence in the area,” Masood said. “He was paid handsomely to ignore who was living there.” The least charitable version, Masood said, is that bin Laden was given safe haven by former military ruler Musharraf, who was waiting until the appropriate moment to announce his capture. Civilian critics in Pakistan accused Musharraf of secretly aiding Taliban militants on both sides of the border, even as militants routinely accused him of siding with the West. Some analysts and intelligence officials questioned whether top ISI officials would have a good motive to hide bin Laden. It would not in any way help Pakistan, said Brig. Asad Munir, former ISI head for the frontier until 2003. “You at least have to look at motive...what does bin Laden have to offer?” Munir asked. “It doesn’t make sense.” Christine Fair, an academic expert who studies Pakistan and militant groups, agreed that the top leadership of the ISI was likely ignorant rather than complicit in the hiding of bin Laden. “I really don’t believe they knew,” said Fair, assistant professor at the Center for Peace and Strategic Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, who has done extensive research in the region. However, lower-level ISI operatives may well have been aware of bin Laden’s presence, Fair said. She cited the example of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, in which two junior ISI spies were disciplined for knowing about and possibly being involved in the operation. There is no evidence that knowledge of the attacks, which killed 166 people, extended higher up in the ranks. Mosharraf Zaidi, a private consultant in Pakistan who advises governments on public policy, said essentially the same thing. “I think there are people who would have known, but did the leadership know? The prime minister, the president, the army chief and intelligence chief?” he asked. “I don’t believe so.” If the top officials really did not know, that suggests an incompetence on the part of the ISI shocking to many in Pakistan. The agency is thought to have about 30,000 people, under six major generals and one lieutenant general. Its financial numbers are secret, but it doesn’t have the budget for sophisticated listening devices, for example. In some parts of the country Pakistan doesn’t even have the technology to monitor cell phones. “In general the ISI has an exaggerated profile of its capabilities,” wrote Shuja Nawaz, director of the South Asia Center at The Atlantic Council, in an email. “It is best in penetrating India. Worst at handling domestic politics.” The latest episode increases the strain between the ISI and the United States, already at a high because of the case of a U.S. contractor accused of killing Pakistanis. In past meetings, Washington has accused Pakistani leaders of harboring terrorists. “There was certainly a lot of finger-pointing, a lot of accusing us, both in meetings here and in Washington, of being in bed with the bad guys,” retired Gen. Mahmud Durrani, Pakistan’s former national security adviser, told the AP. “On one or two occasions they were very, very harsh.” Durrani refused to divulge details, such as whether bin Laden was mentioned, citing national security reasons. The ISI was born more than 60 years ago, with the job of gleaning information, mostly about India, from the army, air force and navy — thus the name, the I n t e r S e r v i c e s Intelligence, or ISI. In the early 1970s, then-Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto created a political cell within the ISI to keep tabs on his political opponents. Bhutto was overthrown in 1977 and hanged two years later. Gen. Mohammed Ziaul Haq came to power and, as an Islamic zealot, created a clerics corps in the army. Officers who had once sipped alcohol at the army messes were competing with each other to be seen by Zia at mosques praying, ex-military officers said. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the ISI worked with the CIA and Islamic rebels. The same rebels later would become Taliban, or join al-Qaida, or be redeployed by the ISI to India, and today some belong to U.S.declared terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Show us some peace instead BY WIM LAVEN PEACEVOICE “Show us footage of the raid!” “We want to see the body!” These comments are in the news, presumably, because we think it’s important. Important because we are skeptical — we don’t trust our government. If we don’t trust our government, how can we expect those afraid of us to? We don’t build trust through violence; we build trust by making and sticking to our agreements — something we could do by reaching out. Let the dust settle. Let Osama bin Laden’s death mark the end of the Global War on Terror. Listening to the mainstream media’s account of it all, however, you’d never know. For all of the fears that have been propagated in recent days, the public has been left to wonder — how afraid should we be? But why aren’t we talking about putting an end to the cycle of violence? To paraphrase Herman Goering: The people don’t want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders by challenging their patriotism. America’s bumper sticker philosophy, “These Colors Don’t Run,” seems to capture the sentiment clearly. We’ve convinced ourselves that a strong military — one with massive bases all around the world in other peoples’ nations — will protect us from threats, despite the fact we’ve always had a strong military and regularly been threatened. But, where has this left us? Agree or disagree — like it or not — there are people and parts of the world with the belief that the sins of Osama bin Laden pale in comparison to the sins of the U.S. We saw the mixed reactions to bin Laden’s killing in the Middle East, China, Central Asia, and elsewhere. Some regard him now as a holy martyr — he would have been just another criminal in jail if he had been captured instead of slaughtered. A continual return to the cycle of violence by us has only exacerbated this perception. Reaching out, however, can mitigate it. Even when Gen. Petraeus continued to ask for more non-combative operations, highlighting that they were more effective and cost less costly — both in dollars and human life, we never heard about it. The conversation about building peace isn’t made public. Our commitments to ideologies actually get in the way of making us safer; peace doesn’t make good politics, economics, nor media copy, apparently. Security is still our goal isn’t it? Do we get more of it by killing more people, or is that only fanning the peat bog smoldering fires of resentment? Osama bin Laden was wrong; he lead to the useless and unnecessary suffering of millions; he used terror as an instrument of war, and he targeted innocent people— the world is better off without such people. So, for as clear as this is — that violence is not the answer — why aren’t we putting an end to it? Is it because people don’t believe it will work, or because we don’t know how? If it’s the former, then all we need is an education — history is full of successful nonviolent struggles. If it’s the latter, why not start by trying the approaches already proven to work? The voice for peace has always existed, and it has always told us: violence isn’t the answer. Our generals remind us that the best way to support our troops — to bring them home alive — is with non-combat operations. Everyone needs to heal, and we need allies more than enemies. But, the voice gets lost and drowned out when we don’t listen for it. (Wim Laven is an adjunct professor of Conflict Resolution at Portland State University.)

Hart Ardith V. Hart, age 94, of Athens died Wednesday morning May 11, 2011, at Kimes Nursing & Rehab Center in Athens. Born March 6, 1917, at Pratts Fork, she was the daughter of the late Glen V. and Eunice Cuckler Hart. She was a graduate of Shade High School, a 40 year employee of Woolworth’s, being first a floor walker and then personnel director. She was a member of the Richland Methodist Church and Athens Senior Citizens. She is survived by a niece, Shirley Milona of Fort Meyers, Fla.; nephews, Dale (Anna) Colburn of Pomeroy, Charles (Theresa) Colburn of Fort Myers, Fla. and Reid (Juanita) Hart of Athens; a special grand nephew, Jase Hart and several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by a sister, Murl Colburn; a sister-in-law, Ethel Hart; brother, William T. Hart; brother-in-law, Ralph Colburn; and a nephew, George Hart. Funeral services will be conducted at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, May 14 at Jagers & Sons Funeral Home, Athens, with Pastor David Cogar officiating. Burial will be in Burlingham Cemetery. Friends may call from 6-8 p.m., Friday at the funeral home. Please share a memory, note of condolence, or sign the online register book at www.jagersfuneralhome.com. Council From Page A1 ers-in-law), Welker could not vote on accepting Tenoglia’s opinion and the subsequent motion it was based on at the last meeting. Welker amended the minutes from the last meeting to reflect abstaining from the motion - this did not affect the motion’s passage. The motion read as follows: “Council members may not contact department heads regarding employment of family members nor may they participate in the hiring and firing or disciplining of that family member employee; they also may be excused from executive sessions dealing with the family member and may not vote or issue any other opinion regarding employment of said family member.” Other business: Council unanimously voted to approve the third reading on an ordinance to change the bulk water rates. Now, the village will charge $7 for each 1,000 gallons of bulk water purchased - this is normally used by people with swimming pools. The price was $4.75 per 1,000 gallons of bulk water. Resident Kenny Klein complained his sister, who lives on Liberty Lane, still had not been assigned a street address after asking council about it over seven months ago. Musser said he needed notification from the homeowner and didn’t have a phone number for Klein or had seen him since that meeting. Village Administrator Paul Hellman also told Klein the village is aware of the slip on Liberty Lane and is attempting to find funds to fix the area. Council approved additional funds to repair the Pomeroy Fire Department’s Pumper Three. Chief Rick Blaettnar asked for $2,500 to replace additional valves for a total of around $13,491 in repairs on Pumper Three. Approved the following sealed bids — Shannon Smith, $251 for 1988 GMC truck and Sam Terrazopolis, $500 for a 1998 GMC Sonoma. Increased appropriations by $139,205.14, a loan with the Ohio Water Development Authority for the Combined Sewer Overflow upgrade project mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Discussed using a community grant check from Volunteer Energy for $900 to restock Mulberry Pond. Fishing at the pond does not require a license because it’s owned by the village, not state. Approved entering into a contract with Capital Recovery System to recover old fines from mayor’s court. The collection agency gets 100 percent of the fine plus $30 which it keeps at no cost to the village. council will soon have to consider whether it can afford to even keep the lights on along village streets and in parks, because revenue from one levy voters refused to renew is lost. Income tax proceeds are down, Baker said, because unemployment is even higher than usual. Fines are down. “We are desparately looking for ways to reduce expenses in the police department without cutting our force,” Baker said. “Middleport has the strongest level of police protection in the county, and it is a priority for council to retain as many of those services as possible for the residents.” The county’s budget commission and board of county commissioners have received two bits of positive news recently. Last week, they learned real estate tax collections for the first half of this year were up by $800,000 over last year. Friday’s vote to guarantee their LGF revenue for two years was also good news.

In addition, the team delivered homemade quilts from the Comfort Club at the Meigs Cooperative Parish and Helping Hands group from Racine UM Church. Though only 10 members went to Alabama, the local team consists of around 40. Some team members solicit businesses for donations, others prepare those donations and then there is the actual response team. The SEOM team is one of four in the state of Ohio which UMCOR provides for FEMA and other emergencies - there are teams in Toledo, Decatur and Cincinnati. Teams are immediately dispatched to disasters within 100 miles of its area as well as being on a FEMA call list. As for what’s next for the team, Marshall said: “We get ready for the next one because it takes a lot of time, resources and hard work in preparing for these disaster responses. However, when you see God using you as a blessing to others, it makes it all worth while.” The response team has been placed on the “Alert” list for the Mississippi floods. If it happens in this area, it is also ready to respond. The local SEOM Emergency Response Team is beginning a membership drive next Monday and anyone in the county can join and go through training.

State funding will be used to assist the construction of offices to attract and house advanced energy companies. “This is good news for Meigs County, and will support the hard work that local officials are doing to help bring jobs to the county. Our region has been hard hit by the national economic downturn, and 40 new jobs will be a great boost for Meigs County,” Rep. Phillips said. “This funding will continue to assist the CIC’s efforts in economic development while making southeastern Ohio more attractive for advanced energy investment. The CIC was first notified of the award in March. Then, Meigs County’s Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe said the building will be marketed to light manufacturing companies, specifically emerging advanced energy businesses from Ohio University. Construction of the building is expected to begin by mid-year. Thursday: A slight chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming west between 5 and 8 mph.

The Lady Knights defeated Ravenswood in the Region 1, Section 4 final, winning two games to zero. Point Pleasant also played Ritchie County in the regional tournament last season, with Ritchie County winning. Astros avoid sweep; beat Reds 4-3 HOUSTON (AP) — Cincinnati’s Edinson Volquez is still struggling to throw strikes. Volquez had his shortest outing of the year, going just four innings allowing three runs on three hits with three strikeouts, but he walked five. The Reds came back to tie it in the seventh, but the Astros won with a tiebreaking RBI double by Hunter Pence in the ninth to give Houston a 4-3 win Wednesday. “He drives in runs when they need them,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Pence. “He uses the whole field. He plays hard.” Volquez didn’t factor into the decision, but he knows he has to give the Reds more than he did Wednesday. “I’ve got to find a way to throw strikes,” Volquez said. “My breaking ball and my changeup were good today, but I didn’t have my fastball.” On the season, the right hander has walked 33 in 42 1-3 innings. Volquez said he didn’t know what the problem was, but sometimes it feels like his arm is too strong. “I feel good,” he said. “Sometimes I throw strikes and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I feel strong, but it’s too strong you can’t control it. Today I didn’t have my fastball command. I threw four innings and threw 88 pitches. I think everybody wants to go deep in the game — eight or seven innings. I want to go deep in the game.” Baker said Volquez isn’t reluctant to throw strikes. Volquez is aware of the walks and Baker knows that other teams know he is struggling with it. Volquez wasn’t the only Reds pitcher with command issues. Cincinnati walked nine batters total on Wednesday. Sam LeCure pitched two scoreless innings after Volquez left before Logan Ondrusek took over for the seventh inning. After falling behind 31, the Reds tied it with back-to-back homers in the seventh by pinch hitter Chris Heisey and Drew Stubbs. Cincinnati then loaded the bases off Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez with two outs, but Jonny Gomes’ grounder up the middle was stopped by diving second baseman Matt Downs, who flipped shortstop Clint Barmes for the third out. “The key play of the game was that play by the second baseman on Gomes,” Baker said. “We had a chance to take the lead at the time. We fought to get back, but it is very difficult to win when you give up nine walks. Three of their four runs were walked.” Before Pence hit the winner off Mike Leake (3-2) in the ninth, Pence nearly started a two-out rally in the seventh by legging out a double. Brett Wallace was intentionally walked, and Chris Johnson walked to load the bases before Logan Ondrusek induced a fly out by Downs to end the inning. “He can hit the ball out of the ballpark,” Stubbs said. “When you get a guy like that, he’s dangerous to start with. On top of that, he can run. He caught me sleeping on one, and he took the extra base. He’s a threat to hurt you at the plate.” Cincinnati’s first run came when Joey Votto tripled and scored on a groundout by Brandon Phillips with no outs in the fourth inning to make it 3-1. Ramon Hernandez singled with two outs but Rodriguez struck out Jay Bruce to escape the inning. Houston added a run in the third inning when Wallace scored on a sacrifice fly by Downs. Volquez walked Pence before he was out on a force out by Wallace. Johnson followed with a double to left field to send Wallace to third before Downs’ sacrifice. Volquez walked three straight with one out in the second before retiring Rodriguez to set up Michael Bourn’s twoout, two-RBI single. Phillips robbed Johnson of a hit for the second time in the series when he made a leaping, midair catch for the first out in the second inning. On Monday, Phillips made a nifty diving catch Goodell thinks NFL labor dispute could be settled CINCINNATI (AP) — Commissioner Roger Goodell told Cincinnati Bengals season tickets holders on Wednesday that “not enough negotiation is going on.” Goodell is convinced the owners and players can settle their differences if they can get out of the courtroom. The NFL’s labor dispute was the most popular topic Wednesday during a conference call that lasted more than a half-hour. Goodell has done similar question-and-answer sessions with ticket holders of other teams. The league has locked out the players as part of their dispute over a collective bargaining agreement. A federal appeals court has scheduled a June 3 hearing on whether the lockout should be allowed to continue. “It’s more litigation right now and I think that’s unfortunate,” Goodell said. “I think we need to get back to negotiations because that’s how this will get settled.” U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson in Minnesota issued an injunction lifting the lockout on April 25. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals then put a temporary hold on the order, meaning that players can’t work out or sign contracts with any team. The players are asking the appeals court to uphold Nelson’s decision ending the lockout. Goodell didn’t provide any new details about the labor dispute. He told Alberta Davis, the first caller, that he was positive the season would be played once litigation ended. “Once we get back to negotiations, we can settle our differences,” Goodell said. “There is an opportunity for us here to continue to grow this game and address the issues. But the sooner we get back to the negotiation table, the more we can address those issues in a timely fashion and get to what everyone wants, which is football.” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis also participated in the conference call after Goodell was finished. Lewis declined to tell season ticket holders whether the Bengals are willing to trade quarterback Carson Palmer, who wants to leave one of the NFL’s most dysfunctional franchises. Palmer asked the team to trade him after a 4-12 season. The Bengals have only two winning records in the last 20 years. Palmer then told the team he’ll retire if he’s not traded. The Bengals took quarterback Andy Dalton from TCU in the second round of the draft last month, preparing to play without Palmer. that ended in a belly flop. NOTES: Paul Janish was back in the lineup Wednesday after missing the previous four games with a sprained right ankle. ... Houston OF Jason Michaels, who is on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, could be activated on Friday when Houston opens a series with the Mets. Locals fare well at NYHS Invite BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM NELSONVILLE, Ohio — The track and field programs from River Valley, Southern, Wahama and Meigs all took part in the 2011 Nelsonville-York Invitational held Friday night at Boston Stadium in Athens County. There were 15 teams present in both the boys and girls competitions. Of the eight local teams present at the 17-event invitational, only one — the Lady Raiders of River Valley — had a top-five team finish. The Lady Raiders placed third in the girls division with 81 points, which was 25 points behind eventualchampion Fort Frye (106). Logan won the boys competition with 181 team points. The River Valley girls were led by Katie Blodgett, who was the high-point scorer (29.25 points) in the girls meet. Blodgett won both the 1600m run (5:32.53) and 3200m run (11:49.45), and also placed second in the 800m run with a mark of 2:32.19. Jessica Hager picked up a pair of first-place efforts in the 300m hurdles (47.79) and 200m dash (26.49), both of which were stadium records. The 4x400m relay team of Hager, JaiNai Fields, Kelsey Sands and Sheyan McGrath won first with a time of 4:20.60. Kaitie Roberts was second in the discus event with a throw of 105-5, while Fields placed third in the 100m dash with a mark of 13.56 seconds. The quartet of Blodgett, Sands, McGrath and Keyana Ward also placed fourth in Blodgett Wolfe the 4x800m relay with a time of 11:00.61. Patrick Williams was the lone River Valley boy to record a top-four effort, placing second overall in the 200m dash with a time of 23.93 seconds. The Raiders finished 12th in the boys competion with 16 team points. The Southern boys placed 10th with 27.33 points and was led by Kody Wolfe with a firstplace effort in the 3200m run (9:55.31), while Wolfe, John Gray, Andrew Ginther and Justin Hettinger placed third overall in the 4x800m (9:02.33). The Southern girls finished 15th overall with 4.33 team points. Kelsey Zuspan was the lone Wahama trackster to earn a top-four effort, doing so three times in the girls meet. Zuspan won the 100m dash (13.07), placed second in the 400m dash (1:03.29) and was also third in the 200m dash with a mark of 27.43 seconds. The Lady Falcons placed 12th with 24 points, while the White Falcons were 15th in the boys competition with three points. Meigs did not have an athlete place in the top-four in either division. The Marauders were 13th overall with 13 points, while the Lady Marauders were 13th with nine points. Tribune - Sentinel - Register C L A S S I F I E D MARKETPLACE Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice LEGAL NOTICE Columbus Southern Power Company (CSP) and Ohio Power Company (OPCo) are subsidiary electric utility operating companies of American Electric Power Company, Inc. They conduct their combined business in Ohio as “AEP Ohio,” and they are proposing to merge into one company. AEP Ohio has filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) Case No. 11-351-EL-AIR and 11-352-ELAIR, In the Matter of the Application of Columbus Southern Power Company and Ohio Power Company, Individually and, if Their Proposed Merger is Approved, as a Merged Company (collectively, AEP Ohio) for an Increase in Electric Distribution Rates. AEP Ohio has also sought to amend its tariffs and obtain accounting approval in connection with the proposed rate increases, through its filing in Case No. 11353-EL-ATA and 11-354-EL-ATA, In the Matter of the Application of Columbus Southern Power Company and Ohio Power Company, Individually and, if Their Proposed Merger is Approved, as a Merged Company (collectively AEP Ohio) for Tariff Approval, and Case No. 11-356-EL-AAM and 11-358-ELAAM, In the Matter of the Application of Columbus Southern Power Company and Ohio Power Company, Individually and, if Their Proposed Merger is Approved, as a Merged Company (collectively AEP Ohio) for Approval to Change Accoua In these cases the Commission will consider the request for approval of increases in the Companies’ electric distribution rates, effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012. It has been nearly two decades since CSP or OPCo filed base distribution rate cases for their respective service areas. This filing seeks to bring base distribution rates in line with the current investment required to provide safe, reliable distribution service to customers and to determine an appropriate return on equity. Costs reviewed in this case are based on a test year, considered to be the period from June 1, 2010, to May 31, 2011. In addition, proposals in the filing, if approved by the PUCO, will provide significant benefits in reliability to customers and expansion of new technology. The company proposes an investment component in this case that will provide capital funding for distribution assets, including but not limited to: support for the distribution asset management programs; distribution capacity and infrastructure additions driven by customer demand; and, the continued implementation of advanced technology and the gridSMART® program. AEP Ohio proposes changes to the Terms and Conditions of service, including the updated prices for miscellaneous distribution charges and pole attachments. In addition, the company proposes a storm deferral reserve and a Deferred Asset Recovery Rider (DARR). Riders being proposed or modified in this case and in conjunction with the pending Electric Security Plan cases (Case Nos. 11346-EL-SSO and 11-348-EL-SSO) include the Enhanced Service Reliability Rider (ESRR) and the Distribution Investment Rider (DIR). The proposed distribution rates are presented in two formats: one, as emanating from a combined company (pending the successful merger application of CSP and OPCo currently under consideration at the PUCO); second, as the individual companies CSP and OPCo. The average increase in total distribution revenue that each rate schedule would bear over the present rates if the proposed increase is granted in full would be: The average increase in total revenue to AEP Ohio if the proposed increase is granted in full would be: AEP Ohio proposes to recover other costs through riders; however, those costs and the subsequent rate impacts are not known at this time. AEP Ohio collects residential distribution revenues from customers through a fixed rate monthly customer charge and an energy charge that varies according to how much electricity a customer uses. A key point about AEP Ohio’s proposal is to recover more of its costs via a fixed rate (applicable to all customers regardless of the amount of electricity used), with a corresponding decrease in the costs recovered via an energy rate (based on how much electricity is used). Specifically, for Ohio Power customers the residential customer charge would increase from $3.82 to $8.40, and the energy charge would be 2.14 cents per kWh for all usage; for Columbus Southern Power customers the residential customer charge would increase from $4.52 to $8.40 and the energy charge would also be reduced to 2.14 cents per kWh for all usage. Recommendations that differ from this application may be made by the PUCO staff or by intervening parties and may be adopted by the Commission. Any person, firm, corporation or association may file, pursuant to section 4909.19 of the Ohio Revised Code, an objection to the proposed electric distribution rate increases by alleging that such proposals are unjust and discriminatory or unreasonable. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the main office of AEP Ohio, 850 Tech Center Drive, Gahanna, Ohio 43230, and at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, 180 East Broad Street, Docketing Division, 11th floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793. The application and supporting documents may also be viewed at the Commission's web page at http://www.puco.ohio.gov, by selecting DIS, inputting 11-351 in the case lookup box, and selecting the date the application was filed. 60200985 �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 10 Thursday, May 12, 2011 Devils 2nd, Angels 4th at Circleville Invitational BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy track and field teams finished second and fourth in the respective boys and girls meets held Friday night at the Circleville Invitational in Pickaway County. The Blue Devils finished the day with 145 team points, leaving them four points shy of eventual-champion Chillicothe (148.5). The Blue Angels — who scored 84.5 points en route to placing fourth — were 66 points behind girls’ champion Chillicothe (150.5). The GAHS boys captured eight of the 18 event titles held on the boys’ side of things, while the Blue Angels came away with just three individual race crowns. There were eight teams involved in each of the competitions. The Blue Devils had a pair of individual champions in seniors Matt Watts and Jonathan Caldwell.
