Phillip A. Lawson, 34, entered a plea of guilty to one count of drug possession and two counts of trafficking in drugs on Monday and was subsequently sentenced as per a negotiated plea agreement. Lawson had originally pleaded not guilty to four counts of possession of drugs, five counts of trafficking in drugs and one count of receiving stolen property for alleged offenses that occurred in January and July 2010. Moreover, Lawson failed to appear for a scheduled jury trial in December 2010 in this matter and was later arrested by U.S. Marshals in Columbus on a warrant for failure to appear. He has remained in custody in the Gallia County Jail since January 3, 2011. On Monday, Lawson pleaded guilty to one count of possession after he was in the possession of 1.92 grams of crack cocaine, a fourth degree felony, on July 25, 2010; and to two counts of trafficking in drugs, a third degree and fourth degree felony, respectively, after he prepared 5.1 grams of crack cocaine, as well as Oxycodone for shipment or distribution on Jan. 19, 2010. In consideration of the guilty plea, the court dismissed the remaining seven counts of the indictment. Lawson was sentenced to 11 months imprisonment for possession of drugs, four years incarceration for trafficking in crack cocaine and 11 months See Charges, A5 BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM COLUMBUS — The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit regarding an application filed by Gatling, Ohio LLC which has mining operations in the Racine area. This spring, Ohio EPA officials held a public information hearing at Southern Elementary School to take comments on the permit which deals with Gatling’s Bowman Run portal project and the Wolf Run project. Gatling amended its original application to remove discharges described in a new coal refuse disposal area originally printed in a legal notice. Ohio EPA is in charge of issuing or denying only the NPDES permit which mandates chemical, physical and biological monitoring of discharge into waterways. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is evaluating other Gatling permits to expand underground mining operations and is the lead agency regulating mine activity in Ohio. As previously reported, the first proposal is for the Bowman Portal site, on CR 29, and relates to discharging to an unnamed tributary to Bowman Run. The second proposal is for the Wolf Run site, off SR 124 which relates to discharging to an unnamed tributary to Wolf Run. A new proposal of the Yellowbush Mine project was just received by Ohio EPA last month and therefore may take longer to review. At Wolf Run, the application proposes a new air shaft and mine entry, three new ponds (two to collect runoff water for parking, office and topsoil areas and one for temporary storage of See EPA, A5 �Tuesday, May 24, 2011 A S K D R . B RO T H E R S Stepdad doesnʼt know how to discipline Dear Dr. Brothers: I recently remarried, and my new husband has never had kids. I have two young kids, and the transition has been tough for him, especially when it comes to disciplining them. He doesn’t really know what role he should play, and I don’t either. I want him to be involved, but it makes me uncomfortable to see him yelling at my kids for something that I would have let slide. What role should he be playing in disciplining my kids in our new family? — S.R. Dear S.R.: It can be very difficult for new stepparents to figure out their role in relation to their stepchildren, especially if they don’t have kids of their own. The natural progression over time as one learns to be an effective parent is compressed down into a short span of time, and lacks the biological imperative to care for one’s own offspring. No matter how much he loves you, it may take your husband a little while to form a great relationship with your kids. The main thing is for you two to keep the lines of communication open. If you see him doing something that makes you uncomfortable, you have to tell him. He may think he’s doing the right thing and supporting you, so you have to figure out clear rules and stick to them. In terms of the role he should be playing for your children, it is more realistic and healthier if he takes a secondary role to you in terms of discipline, especially at the beginning. He can act as more of a counselor and friend than a policeman, at least until he’s developed solid bonds with your kids. Once you’ve established the rules you’re going to enforce, make sure you’re consistent, and communicate those rules with your kids so they know what to expect. Your husband should support your efforts at discipline but avoid being the one to directly discipline the kids. This will make their relationship altogether easier and more comfortable. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: With everything in the news recently about the nuclear disaster in Japan, I’ve started worrying about my own exposure to radiation Dr. Joyce Brothers and its effects on my mental health. I know people are exposed to radiation every day in different amounts, but I don’t know what to be wary of and what to shrug off. Can radiation cause psychological problems, and if so, what sources of radiation should I try to avoid? — G.W. Dear G.W.: Radiation exposure, or even the threat of radiation exposure, certainly can have detrimental effects on your psychological state. Mostly the effects are brought about by stress — the more time you spend worrying about the exposure and your health, the more stressed out you become. This can lead to anxiety and even depression if you can’t gain control of the situation. Then there’s the emotional trauma that’s brought on when a disaster — a one-two punch of earthquake and tsunami, in this most recent case — causes the potential radiation exposure. In terms of daily exposures to radiation, there’s not a lot to worry about. Sources of radiation abound in our lives — from bananas to airport scanners to radon-filled basements — and only very few of these sources cause enough exposure to worry about. You should be vigilant about radiation exposure from repeated X-rays or CT scans, as well as constant cellphone use near your head — try a hands-free headset instead. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is common in certain parts of the country, so if you have a basement, be sure to check it regularly to ease your mind about exposure. Outside of these few sources, there is very little radiation that you’ll be exposed to on a regular basis, so there’s nothing for you to worry about.

Members responded in agreement and with applause to the comments of the Meigs County preacher. Blackwood stated that the nature of the problem in the United States is not political but spiritual. In the past, public leaders and candidates were held accountable for adhering to Christian values, he said.

(AP) — Photographer Michele Coleman contrasted a rugged Appalachian hillside with the refined skills of a cello-playing teenager, offering a fresh perspective of a region accustomed to being portrayed through gritty images of squalor. Her photo took top prize in a contest sponsored by the University of Kentucky’s Appalachian Center. It shows a high school senior from Marietta, Ohio, with her arms draped around the classical music instrument while perched on the hillside. “You could see a talented young individual,” said Coleman, a professional photographer from Parkersburg, W.Va. The West Virginia native said she tires of seeing old photos reinforcing stereotypes of Appalachia, and hopes she did her part to show there’s a much different side to the 205,000square-mile region. “If you Google ‘Appalachia,’ you see these horrid images ... portraying this region as backwoods, hillbillies,” she said by phone. “And we’re not. We’re full of creative, intelligent, artistic people and we just happen to live in this rugged area of valleys and mountains.” Zak Pence said he wanted to chip away at those stereotypes with the new photo contest dubbed “Re-Imaging A p p a l a c h i a .” Contestants were urged to offer non-stereotypical representations of Appalachian life. “I really wanted to push Appalachian people to see themselves in a more realistic way,” said Pence, a West Virginia native who is communications director for the UK Appalachian Center in Lexington. 2 charged in murder of Ohioan found in septic tank LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — The husband and father-inlaw of a woman found dead in a septic tank have been indicted on murder charges in southeastern Ohio, a prosecutor said Monday. A grand jury on Friday indicted Summer Inman’s estranged husband and his father on two counts of aggravated murder and one count each of murder, kidnapping, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse, Hocking County Prosecutor Laina Fetherolf said in a release. Summer Inman was found strangled March 29 in neighboring Athens County. Her estranged husband, 26-year-old William Inman II, and his 47-year-old father, William Inman, previously pleaded not guilty to charges alleging they kidnapped and abducted Summer Inman March 22. William Inman II pleaded not guilty to the new charges against him at an arraignment Monday, Fetherolf said. His father was expected to be arraigned Tuesday. Attorneys for both men did not immediately return calls. Summer Inman’s motherin-law, Sandra Inman, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to kidnapping and abduction charges. No new charges against her were presented to the grand jury on Friday, Fetherolf said. for their support. “As a class, we have shared numerous memories — good and bad — and have grown in many ways.

Missing work benchmark for welfare may cost Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio is asking federal regulators to reduce or waive millions of dollars in penalties the state faces because not enough residents who collect welfare meet federal requirements to be working or pursuing employment. The work-participation rate is 23 percent, meaning less than a quarter of Ohio adults collecting welfare meet the requirements, The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday. The newspaper said that rate is the lowest since 1997, when strict work guidelines for welfare recipients were imposed. Ohio has been hit with $136 million in penalties by federal regulators because it did not meet the work-participation benchmark of 42 percent in the past four years. That doesn’t include a penalty for 2010, which has not been assessed. The money would be deducted from the annual $727 million the state gets to pay for Temporary Aid to Needy Families and help counties administer the welfare program. Federal regulators told the newspaper they are considering the state’s request for a reduction or waiver of the penalties. Ohio, California and Maine are the only states that have missed the work-participation mark three years in a row, according to the U.S. Department of health and Human Services. Benefits are supposed to be suspended if welfare recipients don’t meet the work requirements. Ohio lawmakers might allow guns in stadiums, bars COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio lawmakers are considering allowing people to have concealed firearms in bars, sports stadiums and other venues that serve alcohol, though it’s not clear if Gov. John Kasich would sign such legislation. Supportive lawmakers say by passing the measure, Ohio would be joining dozens of states that have varying rules to let people take firearms into facilities that offer alcohol, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported Sunday. But the proposal on concealed weapons in Ohio is more wide-reaching than such measures in most other states, said Brian Malte, director of state legislation for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington. “What Ohio wants to do is totally different from what we’re seeing elsewhere,” partly because sports stadiums would be included, Malte told the newspaper. Under the proposal, a person couldn’t legally carrying a concealed weapon and be drinking or already drunk. Proponents say it would give people with concealed carry permits a last-resort option to defend themselves if they faced violence in a bar or restaurant by an illegal gun user. They also say restaurants, stadiums and other facilities still would have the option of posting their own bans on weapons. “Saying that we are trying to authorize guns in bars is a complete misrepresentation,” said Jeff Garvas of Ohioans for Concealed Carry. “We didn’t go out and write a bill to say we need a bill that allows us to have a gun in bars. The whole purpose is to go to a restaurant which just happens to serve alcohol and not have to leave my gun in the car.” Opponents argue the proposal is unnecessary and could create safety threats. “We just don’t think alcohol and guns mix,” said Richard Mason of the Ohio Restaurant Association. “We believe the current law is working just fine.” The Republican-led Ohio House and Senate have approved similar bills on the issue but have not sent one to Kasich. House Speaker William Batchelder of Medina has said he expects the governor to sign the legislation, and a Kasich spokesman said that’s likely. But Kasich isn’t giving FBI: 5.5 percent drop in violent crime WASHINGTON (AP) — Crime levels fell last year compared to 2009, continuing a downward trend that saw a 5.5 percent drop in the number of violent crimes last year and a 2.8 percent drop in the number of property crimes. Figures released by the FBI Monday also showed that there were declines in all four categories of vio- lent crime in 2010 and all categories for property crime went down as well. “In a word, remarkable,” said James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University. In Fox’s view, the declines signify success for aggressive law enforcement and corrections programs and comprehensive crime prevention efforts. He said the crime levels could easily rise if the current environment of state and local budget cutting extends to the law enforcement measures that are working. Nationally, murder and non-negligent manslaughter declined 4.4 percent, forcible rape decreased 4.2 percent, robbery declined 9.5 percent, and aggravated assault was down 3.6 percent. the O.K. just yet. “I have to see what it is,” he said last week, referring to himself as “a Second Amendment fan” who wanted to look at the details of the legislation. Southern Local School District. “Living in such a small, close-knit community, I have grown to appreciate all that the people of our town do for us,” Manuel said. “The closeness of the people is really a comfort and provides me with many people to seek advice and confide in. Having been raised in church, it has all been important to me and my development.” Manuel also said being involved in so many local activities and participating in local athletics had taught him the “importance of leadership and how important character can be.” In closing, Manuel reflected back on the years that has passed for himself and his classmates, joking: “I wonder how we graduates have made it here today. Through the dangerous dissections in the science labs, to the exploding gummy bears in chemistry. We have gone through some tough times as a class but I will always remember Alice’s last supper in the lunch room and our senior picture together.” Valedictorian Trevor Mark Flint then gave his address to classmates, also remarking on his gratitude towards family, friends, classmates, teachers and above all, God. “If it wasn’t for the strong, Christian morals that I received from God, then I would not be half the man that I am here today on this stage,” Flint said, crediting parents, Mark and Angela, with teaching him those Christian morals. Flint then went on to encourage his classmates to “make the very most of our lives.” He added: “The Southern Local School system and our parents and guardians have done their part and now it is up to us to push ourselves to meet our full potential. As you look upon the fine men and women on this stage tonight, just remember that as some stay here in Racine, others will go to further their education at a college or university of their choosing, and the rest may go and travel the world to find themselves, but as for my prayers and wishes for this class, I only hope that each and every one of us will have a positive and helpful impact upon the world of tomorrow.” In closing, Flint also reflected on times spent with his classmates: “People always say high school is the best four years of your life, and well I couldn’t agree with them more; from taking a lap in gym class, to watching a certain video in biology, and even singing in physics class; this whole high school experience has been one big roller coaster ride that had me intimidated at first but left me begging for more at the end. I once heard someone say that “you only live once, but if you do it right, once is all you need.” I know that I have made my mistakes and I have regrets, but if there is one thing I am sure proud to be, that is to be valedictorian of the 2011 graduating class of Southern High School.” Next, Principal Daniel Otto made special recognitions in the class.

Andy Harris answers Medicare questions before his Maryland constituents even ask them. Clear across the country, fellow freshman GOP Rep. Paul Gosar does the asking, in very generic terms. "Did your own personal health care (concerns) get heard?" Gosar asked about 40 people gathered to hear him speak in Tusayan, Ariz. "No," came the answer. Democrats are spending big money to generate public outrage at the Republican plan to replace fee-for-service Medicare with government vouchers, but Harris' and Gosar's on-camera town halls were holler-free. For these two lawmakers, mission accomplished. The town hall techniques Republicans have honed are no accident. Gosar and Harris both say the 87-member freshman class routinely trades tips on how to manage, or avoid altogether, the town hall spectacles that Democratic campaign material is made of. "That's one thing about the freshmen lawmakers, we do talk," Gosar said. "We spend some time (on) 'What happened to you, did you have a town hall, how'd it go, what was the major issue of the day, how did you respond?'" Six months into their jobs, the newcomers are acclimating to their roles, to Congress, to their constituents and to the reality that the 2012 election, when every House member is on the ballot, is under way. On this year's budget, next year's budget, Medicare and Medicaid changes, national security and the nation's debt, these GOP freshmen are coming to terms with a few facts of congressional life. Most decisions aren't as simple as the tea party's "cut-it-or-shut-it" motto. The Senate can be maddening. Leaders some- times must compromise. Revolutionizing Congress doesn't happen overnight. So when Republican leaders acknowledged that their plan to overhaul Medicare and Medicaid stood no chance of surviving Democrats in the Senate and the White House, the GOP freshmen, so uncompromising in January, did not rebel. Divided government is just reality. So is this: Democrats already are making the Medicare proposal the leading theme of the elections, with a battery of automated calls and radio ads lambasting Republicans by name. So the first-termers traded town hall tips on how to defend their votes for the GOP budget and its Medicare plan. Capitol Hill veterans, the old guard that was part of the same Congress the rookies trashed in the campaign last fall, are watching with patience as the newcomers climb the learning curve. Home in Idaho during a recent recess, GOP Rep. Mike Simpson recalled watching television with his wife and seeing footage of a Republican freshman trying to conduct a town hall, and getting hollered at about the GOP's budget. "Maybe," Kathy Simpson remarked, "they're learning that this job isn't as easy as they think it is." The freshmen have seen footage like that, too. Some have starred in it. On May 16, Rep. Ben Quayle showed the GOP's budget presentation, "Path to Prosperity Restoring America's Promise," to about 225 people gathered for a town hall in Anthem, Ariz. Quayle identified Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare as expenses that drive the country's debt and pointed out that the GOP budget proposes to privatize government health care for people under age 55. When they reach retirement age, they would get a government subsidy to buy private policies rather than participating in the current government-run system.

"I'm not making these things up," Quayle said at one point, according to the Arizona Republic. The scene in Maryland was somewhat milder last week for Harris, a doctor and professor who served in the Legislature for 12 years before going to Congress. After consulting with colleagues, Harris settled on a presentation: show four slides that establish the drag of entitlement spending on the economy; emphasize that GOP budget proposal would change Medicare only for people under 55; acknowledge that it's a tough plan, but insist that it's necessary if the United States is to remain economically viable. Then, he asks for questions. He got some, including some challenging the GOP's opposition to cancelling tax breaks for rich people and oil companies. But on Medicare? None. "What we find is that if we explain those to people, they usually don't have any more questions about it," Harris said later. It didn't work that way at an earlier town hall meeting in Ocean City. Resident George Benton told Harris that the GOP budget plan would "kill Medicare as we know it," according to Ocean City Today. Thousands of miles away in Tusayan, Gosar doesn't bring up Medicare by name and doesn't get any questions on it, even though he's one of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's targets. "Congressman Gosar has made all the wrong choices," reads the script of an automated call to Gosar's constituents and those of 41 other House Republicans who voted for the GOP budget plan. "He actually voted to end Medicare, rather than end taxpayer giveaways for Big Oil." Page A4 Tuesday, May 24, 2011 Bin Laden seemed to stick to schemes he knew best BY EILEEN SULLIVAN & MATT APUZZO ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — For Osama bin Laden, who spent years in seclusion with little to do but devise new ways to kill Americans, the first big plans to emerge from his compound paint a picture of a terrorist who stuck to what he knew best and what worked before: planes, trains and ships. The computer files hauled from his hideout in Pakistan have provided intelligence officials with an unparalleled glimpse into the mind of al-Qaida's founder. But perhaps most surprising about the first two attack scenarios to surface in those documents is just how predictable they were. He hoped to attack trains, just as terrorists had done in Mumbai, India, and Madrid. He retained his fascination with attacking airplanes. And, according to U.S. officials and a law enforcement bulletin Friday, he wanted to hijack oil tankers and blow them up at sea. The fact that they were old ideas made them no less deadly. Yet with no specific plan in motion and after so many warnings about similar plots over the past decade, the revelations were met with little more than a shrug by many in the security business. Oil prices weren't affected. Shippers said it was business as usual. "This is nothing new," said Christopher Davidson, a professor of Middle East politics at Durham University in northern England. "This is just confirmation of what most security and terror analysts had guessed." In short, bin Laden wanted to attack just where the U.S. figured he would. Part of that is due to the billions of dollars that the U.S. has spent on intelli- 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gence and security since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. So much has been spent on secret wire taps, satellite surveillance and new spies and analysts that the U.S. isn't supposed to be caught by surprise. Anything less than foreseeing and preventing an attack is a failure. But the predictability of bin Laden and his commanders is one reason why the core group of alQaida is no longer the gravest threat to America. That has fallen to the alQaida affiliate in Yemen, where operatives have proved more clever and nimble than the terror group's founders, now forced deep into hiding by CIA drone attacks. The Yemeni group has come perilously close to carrying out two major attacks on U.S. targets. In the first, the group stitched a bomb into a terrorist's underwear on Christmas 2009 and outsmarted years of airline security improvements. Passengers on the Detroit-bound flight subdued the suspected bomber; authorities believe his sweat interrupted the bomb's chemical reaction. The second was last year's attempted bombing of U.S.-bound cargo planes. The bombs were shrewdly wired into printer cartridges, which passed unnoticed through security. The bombs nearly went off before intelligence officials, acting on a tip, discovered and defused them. "The organization has a very fast learning curve, quickly adjusts and improvises, and is very adept at exploiting opportunities," Christopher Boucek, a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told Congress in March. Before Sept. 11, alQaida was made up of veterans of the Afghan guerrilla war against the Soviet Union. The hierarchy was military in nature. Attacks originated with the leaders or were approved by them. Al-Qaida in Yemen is younger and less committed to such a rigid structure. Its master bombmaker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, is 29. The country's top al-Qaida commander, Nasser alWahishi, is 34. Anwar alAwlaki, the Americanborn cleric who has become a leading figure in the organization, is 40. Bin Laden was 53 and had spent the past several years holed up in a walled compound when Navy SEALs killed him this month. His likely successor, Ayman al-Zawahri, is 59. Bin Laden's writings show that, to the end, he remained committed to carrying out spectacular attacks on high-profile targets. The Yemeni branch has embraced the idea of recruiting terrorists over the Internet, providing them with bombmaking instructions and letting them pick their own targets. Bin Laden liked symbolic targets and dates. AlQaida in Yemen has selected targets of convenience. The suspected Christmas bomber, for instance, picked Detroit only because it was the cheapest ticket. That's why the question of who will replace bin Laden is also a question about the future of alQaida. Will it continue to try for massive strikes on the biggest, most predictable targets or will it look for ways to be more nimble? Which is worse for the United States? In February, Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, alluded to this in February when he told Congress that bin Laden and his cohorts in alQaida's core were weakened. "I think, to some extent, that's quite good. It reduces the likelihood, again, of a large-scale organized attack," he said.

In addition to winning the 100 meter, Zuspan took first in the 200 meter dash and fourth in the 400 meter dash. Zuspan becomes Wahama’s first state champion in track BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Awesome. Of all the words that could be used to describe Saturday’s WVSSAC State Track and Field Championships, for Wahama sophomore Kelsey Zuspan, one word summed it up best. After winning the qualifying events in the 100 meter and 200 meter races on Friday, Zuspan had three chances to give Wahama its first state champion since the 1998 baseball team and the third state title in school history. Zuspan’s first attempt for the title came in the opening race of Saturday’s championships, the 400 meter dash. Zuspan — who was in the second of two heats — ran a time of 1:02.93 to finish fourth in the event. South Harrison’s Gretchen Lantz won with a time of 1:00.14. Zuspan’s time beat the time of all eight runners in the first heat. Three hours after her first race, Zuspan took to the track again, this time in the 100 meter dash. The 100 meter dash final was one heat, with the top eight runners from Friday’s trials competing. Zuspan took first in the race (12.96 seconds), crossing the finish line .25 seconds ahead of Gilmer County’s Jessica Montgomery (13.21), and running straight into the arms of Wahama’s Crystal Hendricks who was photographing the event for the school. She had made school history. Zuspan is believed to be the first individual champion from Wahama High School in any sport. The school’s only other MINFORD, Ohio — Hello old friend. For the third consecutive season the softball teams from Eastern and Leesburg Fairfield came face to face in the district semifinals at Minford High School. Also, for the third straight time the winning team tossed a shutout. Fairfield defeated the Lady Eagles 1-0 in 13 innings in the first meeting two years ago, while the Lady Eagles earned the 10-0 win last season. On Friday evening, it was the Lady Lions of Leesburg Fairfield who shutout Eastern, 8-0. Leesburg Fairfield held the Lady Eagles without a baserunner for the first four and two-thirds innings of play. The Lady Lions took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, the result of two Eastern errors and a base Johnson Rawson hit. Fairfield added two more runs in the fourth inning. Five runs — including a home run — in the bottom of the sixth inning sealed the victory for the Lady Lions. Eastern’s first hit came in the fifth inning, with a two out single by Hayley Gillian. The Lady Eagles had one hit in each of the final two innings. Fairfield out hit the Lady Eagles 12-3 in the game, while holding the Lady Eagles scoreless. In addition to the 12 hits, the Lady Lions took advantage of seven Eastern errors. Brooke Johnson hit a double for the Lady Eagles, while Allie Rawson and Gillian each had a single. Shelby Smithson paced the Lady lions with three hits, including a homerun. Lauren Larrick added three hits, Whitney Hanenkrat had two hits and Danielle Butler, Abby Thackston, Kortney Paris and Kylie Bates had one hit each. Larrick earned the win for the Lady Lions and Brianna Hensley took the loss for Eastern. This was the final game for Eastern seniors Allie Rawson, Megan Carnahan and Britney Morrison.

But she was not done, yet. “It feels pretty awesome,” Zuspan said after winning the 100 meter dash. “We haven’t had a track for a long time and we just practice in the parking lot, so it just feels like we are exceeding our goals and achieving new things for the school’s records.” Two hours after the victory in the 100 meter, it was time for the 200 meter — a race Zuspan was not projected to advance to the finals in according to runwv.com. “I’m shooting to go for the 200 champion,” added Zuspan after her first win. In one of the closest finishes of the day, Zuspan inched out Charleston Catholic’s Alexandrine Ratnani by .04 seconds. Zuspan ran a time of 27.09, while Ratnani recorded a time of 27.13. Two first place finishes and a fourth place finish gave Zuspan 24 points for the championship, landing the team in seventh overall and putting herself in fifth among all individual scorers. South Harrison’s Gretchen Lantz was the Class A girls top scorer with 36 points. So. what does Zuspan expect with two years remaining in her high school career? “I expect my times to go down, work more thru the summer and get my legs strong,” she said.

The 4x100 team members are Cara Hesson, Allison Smith, Morgan Pethtel and Chelsea Keefer. “It’s amazing,” senior Cara Hesson said after winning the first heat. “We worked on our handoffs all year and they’ve been rough, we’ve had different people in. We finally got everybody all together, and this is like the second time we’ve ever done it and we did great.” Mary Mullins scored the final point for the Lady Knights in the discus, placing sixth (89-6).

The fifth-seeded Eagles (12-9) earned the program’s fifth district title overall and first since making consecutive appearances during the 2007 and 2008 campaigns. The Eagles’ other district crowns came in 2002 and 2005, all of which have come under current EHS baseball coach Brian Bowen. The Eagles will face a familiar foe at Beavers Field on Thursday, as the Green and White will take on Meigs County counterpart Southern in a D-4 regional semifinal contest at 5 p.m. The Tornadoes — who are making their fifth straight regional appearance — won both TVC Hocking matchups this spring. Eastern never trailed on Friday and led by as much as 5-1 after two innings of play, but the seventh-seeded Jeeps answered by scoring four runs combined in the third and fourth frames — knotting things up at five after four full frames. The Eagles countered with a run in the fifth to pull ahead for a 6-5 lead, but SWHS answered with a run in the top of the sixth to pull even again at 6-all. EHS, however, made its biggest charge of the night in the bottom of the sixth, as four walks and two hits led to five scores — which gave the hosts a commanding 11-6 advantage headed into the top of the seventh. South Webster started its seventh off with a leadoff double, but EHS reliever Max Carnahan retired the next three batters — allowing Eastern to secure its third regional berth over the last five postseasons. South Webster committed just one error in the setback while the Eagles made two fielding miscues in the triumph. Both teams also produced seven hits in the contest and Eastern left six run- Submitted photo The Eastern baseball team won its third district title in five years on Friday evening at Chillicothe’s Paint Stadium, setting up a regional semifinal meeting with Meigs County rival Southern on Thursday evening at Beavers Field in Lancaster, Ohio. ners stranded on base, while the Jeeps left nine baserunners on the bags. An error, a walk and a hit allowed the Eagles to establish an early 3-0 advantage in the first, but SWHS countered with two hits and an error to pull back to within 3-1 after an inning and a half of play. Eastern answered with two more runs in its half of the second, as two hits, a hit-batsman and a fielder’s choice led to a 5-1 edge after two complete. SWHS retaliated with three runs in the third for a 5-4 deficit, then pulled even with Eastern in the fourth after a run made it a 5-all contest. Tied at six headed into the bottom of the sixth, Eastern ended up sending 10 batters to the plate — which resulted in five runs on two hits, four walks and a fielder’s choice. Jacob Parker led the inning off with a triple, then Brad Stone was issued a walk to put runners on the corners with nobody out. Tyler Hendrix followed by grounding into a fielder’s choice, which ultimately led to the gamewinning run being scored. Hendrix’s ground ball was field by pitcher Brice Patterson, who threw home attempting to prevent Parker from scoring. Parker, however, dislodged the ball from catcher Zack Wright — giving the Green and White a 7-6 edge with two on and nobody out. Chris Amsbary, Ryan Shook and John Tenoglia followed with consecutive walks, which allowed both Stone and Hendrix to score for a 9-6 cushion. Jay Warner followed with a one-out, two-RBI single that plated both Amsbary and Shook — wrapping up the scoring at 11-6. Parker and Ethan Nottingham led the Eagles with two hits apiece, followed by Hendrix, Amsbary and Warner with one safety each. Nottingham and Warner both drove in two runs for the victors. Patterson, Fuller and Courtland Bowman led the Jeeps with two hits apiece in the setback. Max Carnahan was the winning pitcher of record after allowing a run and two hits over 3.1 innings of relief while fanning five. Josh Shook started and worked 3.2 innings, allowing five runs and five hits while striking out two. Patterson took the loss for South Webster, which used four hurlers in the contest. The Jeeps issued eight walks and hit a batter over six innings on the mound.

Lady Eagles win first D-3 district track and field title OVP area sending 14 athletes to regionals BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM OAK HILL, Ohio — The Lady Eagles haven’t landed. In fact, they’ve just taken to new heights. The Eastern girls team came away with the program’s first-ever district championship Saturday following the conclusion of the 2011 Division III district track and field championships held at E.E. Davis Stadium on the campus of Oak Hill High School in Jackson County. The Lady Eagles — who won the outright 2011 TVC title — rose above the other 32 schools represented at the massive girls competition, beating the field by double digits en route to capturing the program’s first district title under EHS coach Josh Fogle. Eastern tallied a winning total of 66.5 team points, which was a little over 10 points ahead of runner-up Wheelersburg with 56 points. The Lady Tornadoes placed 21st overall with seven points, while the Lady Rebels did not score. Neither Southern nor South Gallia advanced a female competitor to the regional level. Eastern advanced nine girls to the regional level in eight different events, and also came away with one district championship in the 17 individual events held. Senior Emeri Connery made the third time the charm in the 800m run, as the two-time reigning district runner-up finally struck gold with a winning mark of 2:22.83. That time set a new district record that was formerly owned by Kayla Cook (2:25.40) of South Webster. Connery, Maddie Rigsby, Jenna Burdette and Savannah Hawley combined to finish second in the 4x400m relay event with a time of 4:19.67. Hawley was the 400m dash runner-up with a time of 1:02.13, Ky. Connery Gray while Burdette placed second in the long jump event with a leap of 16 feet, 4 inches. The final Saturday qualifier for the Lady Eagles came in the 4x100m relay event, as the quartet of Hawley, Burdette, Keri Lawrence and Jordan Parker placed third with a mark of 52.96 seconds. The 4x800m squad of Connery, Hawley, Katie Keller and Kori Collins advanced to regionals earlier in the week, as did Rigsby (high jump) and Ashley Putnam (shot put). On the boys side of things, South Gallia, Southern and Eastern all competed in the Division III South competition — which was won by Coal Grove with 137 points. Belpre placed second overall with 73 points. Southern had the highest finish locally in the 17-school field, placing sixth overall with 53 points. Eastern was eighth with 49 points and South Gallia finished 13th with five points. The Tornadoes advanced five athletes to regional competition in five events, while the Eagles will have three athletes advancing in five events. The Rebels did not have a top-four finisher in any of the 17 events and will not be sending an athlete to regionals. EHS senior Kyle Connery came away with a pair of district championships in the 200m and 400m dashes. Connery set a stadium district record in the 400m dash with a time of 50.31 seconds and also won the 200m dash Sarah Hawley/file photo The Eastern Lady Eagles track team, pictured here in a preseason team photo, won its first district title on Saturday at the Division III Track and Field Championships at Oak Hill High School. with a mark of 22.76 seconds.

Klint Connery also advanced in the 400m run after finishing third with a time of 52.83 seconds. SHS sophomore Kody Wolfe earned runner-up honors in both the 1600m run (4:36.06) and 3200m run (10:20.65), which advanced Wolfe to regionals. John Gray came away with Southern’s lone dis- trict title in the 800m run following an effort of 2:04.35, while Jesse Cope advanced to regionals after placing fourth in the 300m hurdles (43.34). The quartet of Wolfe, Gray, Justin Hettinger and Andrew Ginther qualified for regionals earlier in the week in the 4x800m relay event.
