Following the National Anthem by the River Valley Show Choir, Phoenix, Class of 2011 Salutatorian Kelcie Carter gave the opening remarks. “It seems every moment of the last few years has been spent anticipating the next,” Carter said. “We wait for the first day of school, football season, then homecoming, basketball season, prom and on and on. But, maybe, just for today, the rest of this ceremony, we can sit here and enjoy the moment,” Carter encouraged her classmates. “As we look back over the past four years, it becomes clear that time goes by far too quickly.” Carter concluded by saying, “set goals and don’t let anything or anyone stop you from achieving them. The future is ours. Enjoy the journey.” River Valley High School Principal Rochelle Browning-Halley introduced the Gallia County School Board members, River Valley High School faculty and staff and Gallia County Superintendent Dr. Charla Evans. The RVHS show choir sang Open Arms following the remarks by Dr. Evans. Honor Students and scholarship winners were announced by Halley.

Valedictorian Carissa Wolfe gave the graduation address to her fellow classmates. “Now it is up to you to make your own decisions, to write your own story, to prove you exist,” Wolfe said to her classmates. “Every moment of every day you are offered a miracle, the opportunity to be someone better, to change your life, or to change someone else’s,” Wolfe added. Wolfe asked her classmates to take the hand of the person beside them, “remember that at this moment you were both doing the same thing,” she said. “Now let go, every contact leaves a trace,” See RVHS, A5 Amber Gillenwater/photo BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — “Class of 2011, it’s time to show the world what we’re made of!” This was the sentiment of Gallia Academy High School graduate Kelly Yeager, speaking on behalf of her class during a graduation ceremony on Friday evening in the high school gymnasium. “I have great faith, guys, that we are ready to embrace the multitude of changes that await us,” Kelly Yeager said. “It is truly incredible to reminisce on how far we have come as a class.” The successes of the Class of 2011 were also echoed in the sentiments of Gallipolis City Schools Superintendent Jack Peyton. “This is really one of those special classes, that comes along every once in a while. ... They have some tremendously gifted students — academically, artistically, musically, athletically,” Peyton said and further told the class to move forward throughout the rest of their lives with passion. “If I could give you one word to go with you the rest of your lives it’s passion,” Peyton stated. “Whatever you do, whatever you become, where ever you work, whatever your dreams are, just be passionate.” Samantha Yeager, who, in addition to Kelly Yeager, represented the top 10 percent of the class, also spoke on behalf of her fellow graduates. She told the very determined and talented class of 2011 to look at the future as a fresh start in their lives. “This is an opportunity to start anew and truly find yourself,” Samantha Yeager said. “This is by no means a negative reflection of our capable experience, but, rather, a positive look to our bright future. No matter what happens to us in our futures, this class, as a whole and individually, has the heart and dedication to pursue our dreams.” The GAHS Madrigals also performed during the ceremony and 2011 graduate Lindsay Pennington performed “America the Beautiful.” Those students entering the United States Armed Forces were honored during the ceremony and received a standing ovation from their fellow graduates, as well as the crowd.

Some have struggled to succeed in academics, athletics or arts, while others have been beset with more personal trials. Yet through everything we have faced these past four years, we have persevered and reached success.” She concluded by reminding her fellow graduates that “success should not be measured by income but by personal happiness.” In his speech co-valedictorian Brady Bissell, told the graduates that high school graduation is “not an end ...but only the beginning. That whether going off to college for the next few years, taking a job straight out of high school or joining the armed forces, the choice of what to do with the rest of your life is in your own hands.” “Our time is now,” he said. “What we do with it is up to each of us.” He then called on the students to aspire to “achieve something great....to rise up and take on the challenges that lie ahead.” Salutatorian Shannon McLaughlin listed the attributes of “patience, persistence and perspiration” as the “unbeatable combination for success.” She stressed the need to “push on despite obstacles” and cited “having to work hard on something adds some much-needed purpose to an otherwise numbing routine. It keeps you honest about just how dedicated you are to the path you have chosen.” she conclud- ed. The graduates attired in maroon and gold gowns entered the Larry R.

Love Rachel,Jason, Josh,Brandy & Bill �Page A4 OPINION Sunday, May 29, 2011 Ala. tried to close home NYC project IDs more where twisters killed 7 than 4,000 Civil War BY JAY REEVES ASSOCIATED PRESS ASHVILLE, Ala. — The government sued last fall to close an assisted living facility where nine elderly, disabled people lived in two double-wide mobile homes parked in a valley miles from the nearest town. Yet the facility was still open April 27, when a tornado smacked the mobile homes and killed four residents along with the owner, his daughter-in-law and 7-year-old granddaughter. The state filed suit because Shoal Creek Valley Assisted Living didn’t have a license — the fact that it was illegally operating in mobile homes wasn’t even mentioned in the complaint. But months passed, winter turned to spring, and the place remained open. Then came the day tornadoes killed more than 200 people across Alabama. One of those tornadoes, an EF-4 with winds as strong as 180 mph, wiped out the homes in a direct hit, leaving only twisted metal, splintered wood and seven bodies scattered across a horse pasture. That nondescript plot of land about 45 miles northeast of Birmingham was the site of the South’s largest cluster of deaths on that epic day of misery. While other cities and counties suffered more total fatalities in the twisters last month, state emergency management officials across the Southeast said they know of no other single location where more people died in the April outbreak. However, the destruction was so total in some places that it’s impossible to determine exactly where some people died, and other victims remain hospitalized. No one will ever know if the seven people who died in the assisted living center would have survived in a more substantial structure, but 71 patients escaped without injury when another tornado struck the brick-and-masonry La Rocca Nursing Home in Tuscaloosa about 90 minutes before Shoal Creek Valley’s trailers were demolished. This week in Missouri, a larger and more powerful tornado killed 10 residents and one worker when it reduced a Joplin nursing home to a pile of rubble. However, about 80 other residents survived, as did more than 100 at a nearby facility that was also heavily damaged. Friends and family of the Alabama facility’s owner, 56-year-old Ronnie Isbell, described him as loving and concerned, a man who dedicated much of his life to caring for the aged and infirm. Isbell filled a void in the rural area by taking Alzheimer’s patients other places couldn’t or wouldn’t accept, they say. “What was going on? Helping the elderly age with grace and dignity!” Kelly Ward, a relative who has served as a spokeswoman for the family, said in a message exchange through Facebook. An attorney who represented Isbell, Charlie Robinson, conceded the business lacked the required state license and was operating illegally, but he denied that anyone died simply because it was located in mobile homes. Nearby brick homes were reduced to rubble, too, he said. “If it was anything short of the situation room at the White House it would have been destroyed,” Robinson said. He called Isbell one of the best people he’s ever known. Jim Callahan saw a different side of Isbell and his business. Callahan claims his mother was physically abused at Shoal Creek before she moved to another assisted living home last year. “I don’t see how (Isbell) could have loved those people,” Callahan said. Even after Isbell’s death, Callahan plans to go ahead with a lawsuit filed last year over the treatment of his mother. Isbell first opened an assisted living facility with his now ex-wife in the 1970s in nearby Ragland, and about 20 years later he moved the center to Shoal Creek Valley, in St. Clair County. Not far from Neely Henry Lake, the narrow valley is sprinkled with a mix of farms, large brick-and-wood houses and mobile homes. Court records show two nurses from the Alabama Department of Public Health knocked on the door at the assisted living center on June 3 to investigate a complaint. They said they found nine elderly residents, eight of whom had Alzheimer’s disease and weren’t able to walk, requiring skilled nursing care. They also found Isbell, who told the nurses he was the owner but didn’t have a license. Apparently unknown to the state — which was acting on a hospital’s tip about a patient who developed bad bed sores at Shoal Creek Valley — Callahan’s mother already had sued four months earlier claiming she had been mistreated at Isbell’s home. Laverne Callahan, who was 83 when she died in February, had deep bed sores and a black eye when her son removed her from the mobile homes, he said. Jim Callahan said the assisted living home cost his mother $1,500 a month, which ate up all her government checks plus additional money from him and his brother. He didn’t like the idea of her living in a mobile home full of elderly, bedridden people in the tornado-prone Southeast, but he said he had little choice. Empty summer in the city for kids hit by cutbacks BY SAMANTHA GROSS ASSOCIATED PRESS This story is the latest installment in a joint initiative by The Associated Press and Associated Press Managing Editors on the fiscal crisis facing U.S. states and cities, how state and local governments are dealing with severe budget cuts, and how American lives will change because of it. NEW YORK (AP) — When his parents couldn't afford to send him to summer camp, Port Lau settled in for a summer at home: Eating. Sleeping. Playing video games. With no one supervising him most of the time, it could have felt like a summer of leisure in New York City. Instead, it was excruciatingly boring. That's the kind of school break a rising number of kids can look forward to this year as budget crises in places such as New York, Washington, D.C., Houston and Detroit rob children of the activities and programs that have long defined summer in the city for urban youngsters. Swimming pools are being closed; recreation centers are locking their doors; library summer reading programs are suffering; openings for short-term jobs have evaporated. Lau's vacations of boredom ended the summer he was 14, when a cityfunded program got him his first job — doing filing and clerical work at the state Supreme Court in Brooklyn. Now 18, the college freshman credits the experience with landing him a string of jobs and internships — including one for which he'll be traveling to Germany this summer. But in New York City, the youth-employment program that got him the job is facing a cut of more than $15 million, which means that this year the program is slated to have 10,000 fewer spots for young people from the ages of 14 to 24 — a reduction of nearly onethird. To Lau, it's one cutback that just doesn't make sense. "We are the students of the future. We're going to be the ones who make New York prosper," he said. "So why are they trying to limit us?" The stories are similar elsewhere. In Washington, D.C., a summer camp for children whose families come from Ethiopia is losing its city funding, as are more than half the city-funded summer-camp programs serving low-income communities. In Detroit, the youth summer-jobs program is expected to be down to just 1,200 spots — cut from 7,500 two years ago. graves BY CHRIS CAROLA ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The first Civil War casualty to be buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn was a 12-year-old drummer for a New York regiment. Clarence McKenzie, a local boy fatally wounded in an accidental shooting in Maryland, was buried June 14, 1861, two months after the Union garrison at Fort Sumter surrendered to Confederate forces. He was followed to the grave 12 days later by Adolph Vincens, a 23-year-old London-born jeweler who was the first Civil War battle casualty buried at Green-Wood. By the time the war ended four years later, about 200 other soldiers and sailors who died in the Civil War were buried at Green-Wood, established in 1838 in what was then a rural section of Brooklyn. In the decades after the war, thousands of others would join their comrades — and even some of their one-time enemies – at the historic cemetery. Today, the 478-acre expanse of greenery and statuary covering the cemetery’s rolling hills is believed to be the final resting place of about 8,000 Civil War veterans. A team of volunteers and Green-Wood staff has spent nearly a decade trying to identify all those graves. When the project began in September 2002, cemetery officials figured they had, at most, 500 veterans of the nation’s bloodiest war buried here. Using the cemetery’s own burial records, plus government, military and privately owned documents available online, Green-Wood’s project has identified the graves of about 4,600 Civil War veterans. Green-Wood historian Jeffrey Richman estimates 3,000 to 4,000 more are scattered among the cemetery’s more than 560,000 total interments. The Civil War dead buried at Green-Wood include unknown privates and famous officers, buglers and Medal of Honor recipients, Yankees from Maine to Iowa, fathers, sons and brothers, and even 75 Confederates, including two generals. None of the original gravestones for the Confederates gave any indication they had fought for the South, an intentional omission being rectified by the installation of new granite markers provided by Veterans Affairs. Some of the gravestones and other markers at the previously known burial plots indicate that a person was a Civil War veteran, but most don’t bear information or an insignia that would tip off researchers, Richman said. Some of the grave markers are so worn the inscriptions can’t be read, while others are overgrown by grass or have sunken below ground level. Many of the veterans lie in unmarked graves, and it’s only by checking the cemetery’s detailed maps that individual burial plots can be located. Part of the project includes placing new granite markers at the graves, marked and unmarked, of 2,000 of the Civil War veterans. So far, about 1,300 of the VA markers have been installed. This Memorial Day weekend, the cemetery is hosting a three-day commemoration that includes re-enactors’ encampments, an evening procession past the candlelit graves of the Civil War veterans and a gathering of some of their descendants, who will read their ancestor’s name during a ceremony on Monday. Jeanne Vincens, whose ancestor was mortally wounded at Big Bethel, Va., plans to take part in the ceremony. She helped acquire a VA marker for Adolph Vincens’ grave several years ago. So, she knows what some of the other descendants will be experiencing when they see their ancestor’s grave and remember the sacrifices made 150 years ago. “It’s very, very emotional,” said Vincens, a 57-year-old information technology manager from Richmond, Va. “It’s really a culmination of a lot of family history, and then being able to honor this person to make sure they’re going to be remembered.” The cemetery’s project includes compiling brief biographies for each Civil War veteran interred at Green-Wood. Some 4,600 are included on a compact disc the cemetery is selling for $10 each. According to the information on the CD, burials of Civil War veterans at Green-Wood continued through the 1930s and into early 1941, when 94-year-old Henry Stamm and 101year-old Joseph H. Smith of East Orange, N.J. were laid to rest. With several thousand graves still to be identified, Richman said it’s unclear if Stamm and Smith were the last in a long blue and gray line to be buried at the cemetery, a line led 150 years ago by the drummer boy from Brooklyn. This Week in The Civil War Lincolnʼs troops off Virginia, shots fired President Abraham Lincoln, moving to enforce a previously declared blockade on Southern seaports, bolsters Union forces at Fort Monroe near Hampton, Va., one key to his strategy to cut supply lines to secessionists and dominate the coast off Virginia and the Carolinas. Both sides are on edge. A correspondent for The Associated Press reports from Fort Monroe in late May that the area bristles with Union troops: "A force of 7,500 men, including a few regulars and 4 pieces of artillery, formed to-day ... near the mouth of the James River, about ten miles from Fortress Monroe." The dispatch adds: "The rebel battery fired four shots ... and though over three miles distant, the shot fell but little short, indicating that the guns of the rebel battery are of the heaviest calibre." Other dispatches report a number of runaway slaves are streaming to the fort from the Virginia countryside and Union commanders are holding them as "contraband of war." One escaped slave is quoted in a May 27 dispatch of the Boston Journal as saying: "We heard that if we could get in here we should be free, or, at any rate, we should be among friends." Experts say bear may have hibernated in NE Ohio TWINSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Wildlife experts have released what they say is evidence that a black bear may have settled down for the winter in northeast Ohio, a region the animals typically only roam into from home areas in Pennsylvania or West Virginia. The local parks agency says photos taken by naturalist in February appear to show bear tracks in the snow at Liberty Park in Twinsburg. Agency spokesman Nate Eppink tells the Akron Beacon Journal that means it's very likely a bear hibernated in the park, which has caves and rocky cliffs. The photos are part of a report issued this week. Eppink says the Ohio Division of Wildlife didn't want it released while snow was still on the ground out of fear that gawkers might track and bother the bear. �Sunday, May 29, 2011 Obituaries Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 RVHS From Page A1 Carol W.

King-Mellencamp ʻGhostʼ musical is ready for stage ATLANTA (AP) — Horror writer Stephen King’s first play, “The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” featuring haunting melodies by rocker John Mellencamp, is finally ready for the stage. The musical was originally scheduled for its debut at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre in 2009, but was postponed. It’s now set to open next April at the Alliance. Mellencamp and the play’s director weren’t getting along, King said Tuesday at the Alliance’s season preview presentation. The new director is Susan Booth, the company’s artistic director. The project originated about 11 years ago, King said. “John had an idea that he wanted to do a play about ghosts in a cabin and how sibling rivalries and resentments are carried down from generation to generation,” King said. He said Mellencamp told his agent he wanted a writer like Stephen King and discovered that the two had the same agent. They got together and agreed to try to write the play, King said. “One of the reasons to do it was because I never had, and John felt the same way.” King said he outlined a story incorporating live brothers and dead brothers. “John wanted it to be in the South because he’s a big admirer of Tennessee Williams. I was fine with that because I’d been reading a lot of William Faulkner, and those voices were in my head.” The show eventually may make it to New York, but King said he wasn’t thinking big. �Sunday, May 29, 2011 Search for tornadoʼs missing finds few amid debris JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Mike Hare has scoured the ravaged neighborhood where his 16-year-old son Lantz was seen last. He’s called hospitals from Dallas to Kansas City and taken dozens of calls offering advice, prayers and hopeful tips. None of the calls came from Lantz. None offered any hope he might still be alive. Hare has been looking for his son since Sunday, when much of the southwest Missouri city of Joplin was leveled by the deadliest single tornado since the National Weather Service started keeping records. “We know he’s hurt somewhere,” Hare said Wednesday, his voice breaking. “We just can’t sit and keep calling. You’ve got to be moving.” Hare is among an increasingly desperate group of people in Joplin pleading for help in tracking down one of the dwindling number of people still missing in the wake of Sunday’s storm. They’re scrawling signs in wreckage, calling in by the hundreds to local radio stations and posting on the Internet. They are inspiring city officials to continue search and rescue efforts: there is no talk yet of recovery. On Thursday, the state said 232 people are still considered “unaccounted for” in Joplin, and that some of those are among the 126 people killed by the storm. Others are believed to be alive, but have left the area or have been unable to reunite with family and friends since the storm. “Our goal is to get that number to zero,” said Andrea Spillars, deputy director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety. “We will dedicate as much state resources as needed around the clock to ensure those family who have loved ones that they cannot find are connected.” The state released a list of names, and urged those who are still alive to check in with authorities. “I am hopeful,” Joplin Fire Chief Mitch Randles said Wednesday. “We’ve had stories from earthquakes and tsunamis and other disasters of people being found two or three weeks later, and we are hopeful we’ll have a story like that to tell.” Randles and others leading the search effort say it’s impossible to know exactly how many people are truly missing, since many may have simply left the area without getting in touch with their families. They believe most will be OK. Amid that confusion, away from formal grid searches in the debris fields, children are looking for their parents and friends are searching for neighbors in any way they can. With erratic cell phone service throughout Joplin and travel hindered by damaged cars and blocked streets, many residents have turned to local radio stations as a hub of information, sifting through around-the-clock reports of missing family members. The Zimmer Radio Group, which operates seven radio stations in Joplin, abandoned its various music formats for 24hour tornado coverage starting late Sunday afternoon. Newscaster Chad Elliot, whose home was destroyed, slept in his office when he wasn’t on the air. His dog Rusty barked loudly behind a closed door. Study urges police to be cautious with stun guns HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police officers using stun guns should avoid shooting suspects multiple times or for prolonged periods to reduce the risk of potential injury or death, according to a new U.S. Justice Department study prompted by hundreds of police-involved deaths across the country. Coroners and other medical experts on the study panel concluded that while the effects of prolonged and repeated stun gun use on the body are not fully understood, most deaths officially attributed to Tasers and similar devices are from multiple or lengthy discharges of the weapons. The panel reviewed nearly 300 cases in which people died from 1999 to 2005 after police shot them with stun guns, but found that most of the deaths were caused by underlying health problems and other issues. Of those cases, the experts examined 22 in which the use of stun guns was listed as an official cause of death. The study released Tuesday by the department’s research arm, the National Institute of Justice, concludes that it’s appropriate for officers to use stun guns to subdue unruly or uncooperative suspects, as long as police adhere to “accepted national guidelines and appropriate use-of-force policy.” It also makes several recommendations, including medical screenings for all people shot with stun guns. The experts also noted that evidence shows the risk of death from a stun gun related incident is less than 0.25 percent, and there’s no conclusive evidence that stun guns cause permanent health problems. “What this study suggests is, indeed, lessthan-lethal technologies ... can be effectively used by law enforce- ment,” said John Laub, director of the National Institute of Justice. Justice Department officials said the study began more than six years ago after Amnesty International and other groups blamed many death of suspects in police custody on stun gun. Both Amnesty International and the United Nations Committee Against Torture have called the use of stuns guns a form of torture in some cases. More than 12,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide had issued about 260,000 stun guns to officers as of spring of last year, the study said. Of the more than 600 arrest-related deaths in the U.S. each year, there are very few cases in which stun guns are cited the cause or contributory factor, the report said. Officials at Taser International, the maker of the leading stun guns, said Thursday that there are no peer-reviewed medical studies that have found that prolonged or repeated use of Tasers cause death. In 2009, however, the company advised Taser users to try to avoid shooting people in the chest, because of a very low risk of a health problem. Alvaro Garzon, a 46year-old drug and alcohol addiction counselor from New Haven, said the study’s cautions about firing stun guns multiple times make sense. Garzon has filed a brutality complaint with New Haven police saying a city officer shot him with a stun gun four times last year during a domestic disturbance call. “After two times it should be enough,” Garzon said in Spanish on Thursday while his daughter, Lina, interpreted for him. “You don’t feel good after the second shot. I felt like I was burning inside.” Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A6 University of Rio Grande recruits for its Master of Business Administration Program with the assistance of a local businessman STAFF REPORT RIO GRANDE — Since its inception in 2007, the Emerson E. Evans School of Business’ Master of Business Administration Program has bestowed its degree upon thirty-six students. In August, six additional students will graduate and “Become a Part of the Tradition”. One of these students, Sarah Sang, is an employee of River City Outdoor Advertising of Huntington. Owner Wade Leslie, Vice-chair of the Emerson E. Evans School of Business Advisory Council, recognizing the MBA program’s benefit to the community, graciously donated six billboards encouraging others to “Become a Part of the Tradition”. The program is more than mere academics. In fact, the University of Rio Grande and Ohio State University’s South Center have created a partnership to provide experiential learning opportunities for the MBA students. OSU, the Small Business Development Center for the southeastern region of Submitted photo The billboard located at 671 Jackson Pike just past Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis is just one of six billboards currently in place to promote URGʼs MBA program.

(AP) — New Jersey is dropping out of the Northeast's program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Republican Gov. Chris Christie announced Thursday, calling the pact a failure at cutting pollution and a burden to taxpayers. The decision to withdraw from the 10-state cap-and-trade program at the end of the year marks a turnaround for New Jersey, a heavily industrialized state that was an early backer of efforts to curb the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming. Environmentalists were dismayed, while conservatives were thrilled. "This program is not effective in reducing greenhouse gases and is unlikely to be in the future," said Christie, a first-term governor and rising GOP star who has been widely mentioned as potential presidential candidate because of his combative stands on teacher unions, government spending and taxes. "It is a failure." The federal Environmental Protection Agency urged him to reconsider. "This is a disappointing step given New Jersey's legacy of leadership on environmental issues," said EPA spokesman Brendan Gilfillan. The EPA's administrator, Lisa Jackson, was chief of New Jersey's environmental agency when the state joined the pact, which went into effect in 2008. Christie is just the latest Republican governor to announce that his state would withdraw from a regional pact to reduce greenhouse gases. Similar agreements in the West and Midwest are struggling. And efforts by the Obama administration to establish a national cap-andtrade program have failed in Congress. The Northeastern pact, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI, sets limits on carbon dioxide emissions by fossil fuelburning power plants and requires them to buy permits to release such gases. The permits can be bought and sold among plants, giving them a financial incentive to operate more cleanly. The cap-and-trade pact "does nothing more than tax electricity, tax our citizens, tax our businesses with no discernible or measurable impact upon our environment," Christie said. Residential customers in states that participate in the pact paid an average of about 73 cents extra on their monthly electric bill to fund the program. Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, disputed the governor's assessment of the pact's effectiveness, saying it is working as designed. He said New Jersey's greenhouse gas emissions from electric power plants had declined 10 percent since 2009. He said the pact was responsible for creating 18,000 jobs in the region and generating $2.3 billion in economic benefits. The immediate effects of New Jersey's pullout could be small. After Christie's announcement, a majority of the other participating Northeastern states — Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont — indicated their intention to stay in the pact. And since global climate change is a worldwide problem, any reductions achieved by the Northeastern states were not expected to make a dent in overall greenhouse gas emissions. The program was largely seen as a test run for future national and international emissions trading pacts. �Sunday, May 29, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt. Pleasant, WV Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B5 www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailytribune.com �C1 ALONG THE RIVER Sunday, May 29, 2011 Finding (Fur) Peace in Meigs County BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Sometimes the last place people look for a little peace (and music) in their lives is right in their own backyard. Fur Peace Ranch and its Fur Peace Station Concert Hall remain a bit of the best kept secret to some of the people in Meigs County; though, to the people outside the county, it has become a major destination for that peace and, of course, that music. The Ranch is tucked outside of Pomeroy off US 33. Turning off US 33 onto Rocksprings Road, motorists then follow a trail on to St. Clair Road and just when they believe they’re hopelessly lost in rural Meigs County, there it is — a sign! The words “Fur Peace Ranch” and an arrow lead cars to a guitar made of rocks and a gate fit for any dude ranch — a ranch with free parking for concert goers. The interesting thing about the parking lot at Fur Peace Ranch is the license plates from outside Meigs County seem to far outnumber the ones from it — at least, at the recent, sold-out Suzy Bogguss show. License plates from surrounding counties in Ohio line the spaces as do plates from West Virginia and Kentucky — all of them on that path for a little (fur) peace and music which they can’t find in their backyards. With the path to the concert hall lit in tiki torches, a steel sculpture titled the “King of Strings” and Buddhist prayer flags hanging here and there, concert goers get the feeling they’ve stumbled on to a groovy family reunion; a reunion complete with Miss Kitty, the Ranch’s feline mascot — she puts the fur in Fur Peace. While Miss Kitty makes the rounds, the smells of organic coffee, veggie burgers or simply a good, old-fashioned hamburger hot off the grill hit the senses and settle under the picnic shelter and its rocking chairs. Here in the chairs concert goers might carry on a conversation with Queen Deb, who does all the cooking for the classes at the ranch — Queen Deb is the queen because, as she points out, it says so on her shirt. Once inside the concert hall, which is celebrating its 14th season, visitors get a sense of Grand Ole Opry cool with an amazing wood ceiling to carry the acoustics to as many backyards as possible. When the show starts, the intimate, 200-seat venue starts to get that family reunion vibe going again as Ranch Manager John Hurlbut and Ranch CoOwner Vanessa Kaukonen (as well as daughter Izze), talk to familiar faces in the crowd about kids, charities and of course, music. There’s no alcohol sold or permitted which promotes a family-friendly atmosphere. When the show beings, standing off in a corner is Vanessa’s husband and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member, Jorma Kaukonen, watching the show not just as the Ranch’s co-owner, but as a musician. On this Saturday evening, Bogguss brings songs to life from her “American Folk Songbook” CD and has the entire audience singing “Red River Valley” like its a campfire sing-a-long by the end of the night — like any memorable, musical and (fur) peaceful family reunion in any backyard. For more information on upcoming concerts at the hall call (740) 9926228 or visit furpeaceranch.com. The Fur Peace Station Concert Hall is an intimate, 200-seat venue which brings major, musical acts to rural Meigs County.

How were environmental issues considered? The Water Pollution Control Loan Fund program requires the inclusion of environmental factors in the decision-making process. Ohio EPA has done this by incorporating a detailed analysis of the environmental effects of the proposed alternatives in its review and approval process. Environmental information was developed as part of the facility plan, and associated documents, as well as through the facility plan review process and during site inspections. The Agency's preliminary Environmental Assessment found that the project does not require the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Study. Why is a Supplemental Environmental Study not required? Our environmental review concluded that significant environmental impacts did not result from the action. Any adverse impacts have either been eliminated by changes in the facilities plan or have been reduced by the implementation of the mitigative measures discussed in the attached Assessment. How do I get more information? A map depicting the location of the project is included as part of the Environmental Assessment. The Environmental Assessment presents additional information on the project, alternatives that were considered, impacts of the action and the basis for our decision. Further information can be obtained by calling or writing the contact person listed in the back of the Environmental Assessment. How do I submit comments? Any comments supporting or disagreeing with this preliminary decision should be submitted to me at the letterhead address. We will not take any action on this facilities plan for 30 calendar days from the date of this notice in order to receive and consider any comments. What happens next? In the absence of substantive comments during this period, our preliminary decision will become final. The municipality will then be eligible to receive loan assistance from this agency. Please bring any information that you feel should be considered to our attention. We appreciate your interest in the environmental review process. Sincerely, Gregory H.
