(Charlene Hoeflich/photo) POMEROY — Sheriff’s deputies and investigators with Meigs County’s Major Crimes Task Force busted another suspected methamphetamine laboratory Thursday night. It is the third operation discovered in Meigs County since February, and a Pomeroy woman was arrested for manufacturing the toxic drug. Sheriff Robert Beegle said law enforcement investigators continue to work on the case, and additional arrests are expected. It is the first time a meth lab has been discovered in town, and that puts neighbors at greater risk because of the volatile elements used to make the drug. Jennifer Michael, 51, Pomeroy, was arrested on charges of illegal manufacturing and assembly of chemicals, according to Beegle, and she was jailed in Middleport Thursday night. Investigators discovered items commonly used to manufacture meth and the toxic remains of three “one-pot” meth labs at Michael’s home on Lincoln Heights. Rick Smith and Deputy Fred Workman, of the Major Crimes Task Force and the Gallia County Sheriff’s Department, respectively, were on the scene. Both are certified in investigating clandestine meth labs. They removed the hazardous items from the residence, and Chem Pack Services, Mt. Gilead, responded to the scene for recovery and disposal of the hazardous materials. Beegle said the Pomeroy fire department also assisted in securing the scene and protecting neighboring residences from possible damage from a fire or explosion, See Meth, A5 �Sunday, June 19, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Chautauqua funds secured Visit set for July BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM CHESTER — Though it went down to the wire, the Chester-Shade Historical Association raised enough funds to secure Ohio Chautauqua’s visit to Chester Commons in July. On Friday, Mary Powell of the CSHA said fundraising efforts had recently stalled with $2,000 left to raise but, luckily, a benefactor had agreed to make up that difference with a donation set to be made some time this week. “People are good to us,” Powell said. “When they see our backs are against the wall, they come through for us.” The Ohio Humanities Council, which sponsors Ohio Chautauqua, requires host communities to kick in $7,500 towards Chautauqua’s visit with the annual program costing the OHC around $175,000. For months now, the CSHA has been attempting to raise that $7,500 to secure the visit and with June being the deadline to submit funding, coming up with the cash became a mad dash to the finish line - but the pertinent fact is, the finish line was crossed and on time. “We have met our goal and everything is ok for Chautauqua to visit” Powell said. B r i n g i n g Chautauqua will not only affect the CSHA but tourism in Meigs County. During Chautauqua’s last visit in 2005, Chester Commons saw hundreds of visitors from 22 Ohio counties and 12 states, according to CSHA members. Ohio Chautauqua more recently visited Gallia County. As for the visit to Meigs County, it will happen July 12-16 at Chester Commons and have a Civil War theme which many believe make it well-suited to the area considering Meigs County is home to the Civil War’s only significant land battle fought in Ohio. As for how Chautauqua works - first of all, it’s free and includes a tent which houses 500 people. The program typically begins in early evening with around 30 minutes of music and a scholar/actor portraying a historical figure for around 45 minutes. The audience then has a opportunity to ask questions of the scholar/actor while they’re in character, afterwards, the audience can ask the scholar/actor questions while out of character. During the day, Chautauqua offers free educational programs geared towards both adults and children - these events will be held at the Pomeroy Library, Syracuse Community Center, Riverbend Arts Council and Chester Courthouse. Again, all events are free. This year’s Chautauqua characters are: President Abraham Lincoln; surgeon, POW and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Mary Edwards Walker; physician, jour- Addison resident expresses concerns over KA Sewer project BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — A resident of Addison was present during a regular meeting of the Gallia County Board of Commission on Thursday in Gallipolis to express his concern about the Kanauga-Addison Sewer Project. Larry Eblen, a resident of Lila Drive, asked the commission about the state of his property and when progress would be made to fix the area. “I was given the understanding that when these people came through with this sewer that they was going to do this on the township right-of-way,” Eblen said. “When they came through and they put that sewer line in — which isn’t done — they had their machinery sitting on my property. I have no problem with that, but they tore up my yard.” Eblen further reported that on Thursday, prior to the meeting, he had spoken with a representative of Trimat Construction, the project contractor, who assured him the problem would be fixed. “It’s my property. I’ve got no problem with improving it, and I don’t care to pay for it, but it was so bad I took my lawn mower over there this spring and tried to mow and got my lawn mower hung up on a piece of flat ground. I had to take my four-wheel drive truck over there to get it out,” Eblen said. “Now, that’s what kind of condition they left it in. Mister, I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t do that you, him, her, nobody in here.” Project engineer, Gary Silcott of Stantec Consulting of Logan, Ohio, was also present during the meeting and reported that workers with Trimat were currently on Addison Pike doing restoration work and he expected that they would continue restoration south of Addison Pike. “I would assume that within the next week or so they would be on Lila Drive, getting that resorted, cleaned up,” Silcott said and also discussed Trimat’s obligation to restore land damaged due to construction. “Part of their contract is to restore it to existing or better condition,” Silcott stated. “Whatever you have there, they should try to put it back to at least what you had if not better.” Silcott also reported that during the last construction meeting held with the contractors, the contractors were asked to make significant strides toward completion of the project. “We’ve been on the contractor since last fall about getting this done, and at the last construction meeting we instructed them that they have 10 days to make a significant run at getting things done and if they didn’t, we were going to hire a contractor to get it done,” Silcott said. “They’ve assured us that they are going to get stuff done and they are in the process, I guess, of doing it.” Furthermore, Silcott discussed the fact that as project contractors, Trimat could not be specifically directed but he could make suggestions to them in regard to the project. “The problem we have is we can’t direct them. It’s their job. They’ve got to run it how they want to run it,” Silcott said. “We can kind of give them suggestions. We’ve given them many sugges- tions and they’ve chose not to accept our suggestions.” The county commissioners advised Eblen to report back to them or to Silcott if progress was not made on his property within the near future. nalist and highest-ranking African American Union soldier, Maj.

Battery acid, household chemicals, and over-thecounter decongestants are just some of the ingredients used to make the drug. Last month, agents with the Major Crimes Task Force, Gallia County deputies and investigators with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification arrested a man and woman suspected of operating a mobile meth lab on Leading Creek Road near Middleport. Tony Jacks, 24, and Mary Schuler, 27, are charged in that case. Deputies discovered drug paraphernalia in their vehicle, and when their mobile home was searched, investigators found and seized several “shake and bake” labs and destroyed them, At that time, Smith said the “shake and bake” labs, which consist of bottles, tubing and other items, are being more commonly used to manufacture the drug, and they are more frequently found alongside roadways in the rural parts of the county, since leaving them roadside is safer. “Ditch dope,” Smith said, often looks like kitchen trash, but the fumes from the labs are toxic, explosive, and could kill in seconds. The materials are often hidden in coolers and other containers, and anyone finding such items along a rural road should not approach them but call the sheriff’s office at once, Smith said. In February, five were arrested on various charges relating to the manufacture and use of meth at a home on Lower Ohio 7 near the Gallia County line. All the meth cases remain pending in Meigs County’s courts. where she was found hiding in the master bedroom closet, with a blanket over her head. She was arrested on two warrants through the Gallipolis Municipal Court and a felony indictment on drug-related charges. She also allegedly denied breaking into the residence on Ohio 554 and reported to the deputy that she had been at the victims’ residence in an attempt to sell the homeowner a motorcycle. The motorcycle was seized along with a gray bag containing motorcycle boots, a chest protector and gloves. This case is currently under investigation and no items were reported missing from the victims’ home. Burns is currently being held in the Gallia County Jail. Ashland Inc.

COMMUNITY PEOPLE QUALITY HEALLT THCARE �Page A4 OPINION A bad case of national amnesia Southern Baptists approve path to legal status BY TRAVIS LOLLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Southern Baptist Convention approved a new resolution at its meeting in Arizona this week advocating a path to legal status for illegal immigrants, in a move that policy leader Richard Land described as "a really classic illustration of gospel love and gospel witness." The resolution passed Wednesday also calls on Southern Baptists to minister to all people and to reject bigotry and harassment toward all people, regardless of their country of origin or immigration status. "I think Southern Baptists understand it's just not politically viable to send an estimated 12 to 15 million undocumented immigrants back where they came from," said the Rev. Paul Jimenez, pastor of Taylors First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., and chairman of the SBC's resolutions committee. "It's not humane either." A motion to strike the reference to a path to legal status was narrowly defeated by a vote of 766 to 723, according to the SBC's Baptist Press. When the resolution was amended to say that it was "not to be construed as support for amnesty for any undocumented immigrant," it passed by a wide margin with a show of raised bal- BY RICH LOWRY lots. The resolution calls for "appropriate restitutionary measures" from any immigrants seeking legal status. It also calls on the government to prioritize border security and hold businesses accountable for their hiring. Many attending the SBC's annual meeting in Phoenix where the resolution was adopted may not have known that it echoes the denomination's official position on immigration as outlined by the SBC's public policy arm, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. "I've been saying for a couple of years now that this is where a majority of Southern Baptists are at," said Land, the president of the ERLC. "Some people in the media have been somewhat doubtful. ...Then this year we voted 80-20 supporting it." Land said the fact that the resolution only got broad approval after the addition of language denouncing amnesty showed that many people don't understand what amnesty is. "Restitution is not amnesty," Land said. All Southern Baptist churches are independent, so the resolution is not binding on them, but it does represent the will of the Nashville-based Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest protestant denomination, with over 16 million members. The resolution was one of several signs at this year's meeting that the SBC, which has been declining in membership and baptisms in recent years, sees ethnic diversity as one of the keys to a turnaround. Delegates at this year's meeting also passed a resolution that seeks greater participation among what it sometimes calls its "non-Anglo" members in the life of the convention, particularly in leadership roles. And they elected an AfricanAmerican to the position of first vice-president for the first time, possibly setting up the Rev. Fred Luter Jr. to be elected president at next year's convention in his hometown of New Orleans. Jimenez said the two resolutions were not coordinated but both stemmed from the same impulse. "I think what it does say is that we are now thinking of our convention's reach beyond just ... white Southern churches," he said. The fact that the convention was held in Arizona, a state that many groups boycotted after it passed a tough immigration law last year, was part of the impetus for the resolution, but not the main part, Jimenez said. "The most important reason of all is that we see these individuals as people who so desperately need to hear the gospel." 1966 – Shiv Sena a political party in India is founded in Mumbai. 1970 – The Patent Cooperation Treaty is signed. 1974 – A female resident of Bellevue, Washington, becomes the first person to be saved by the Heimlich maneuver. 1978 – Garfield appears in his first comic strip. 1982 – In one of the first militant attacks by Hezbollah, David S.

Sunday, June 19, 2011 The Declaration of Independence is a poor excuse for an obscure historical document. It's not Magna Carta or the Peace of Augsburg. Its name is so straightwordly functional, it almost makes you wonder why the Founders weren't more imaginative. Yet only 35 percent of American fourth-graders know the purpose of the Declaration of Independence, according to the 2010 results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The findings of the test -administered to representative samples of fourth-, eighth and 12th-graders – are another dreary recitation of the historical ignorance of America's students. Only 20 percent of fourth-graders, 17 percent of eighth-graders and 12 percent of 12thgraders were proficient in history. More than half of 12th-graders were categorized as "below basic." Only 22 percent of 12thgraders knew that North Korea was allied with China during the Korean War. Education expert Diane Ravitch notes with dismay that 40 percent of these students were already eligible to vote when they took the test, and all of them will be eligible within a year. They are the symptoms of a country engaged in a long process of erasing its memory. For decades, we have been congratulating ourselves for a broad-mindedness that is really a self-destructive national amnesia. It's no accident that the teaching of American history became ascendant during the surge of national self-confidence in the wake of the Civil War. The late sociologist Samuel Huntington reported in his book "Who Are We?" that just Rich Lowry six states required the teaching of history prior to the Civil War. By the turn of the century, 23 did. Back then, we infused the endeavor with an unabashed love for America. The historian Merle Curti writes that the schools "emphasized the importance of presenting vividly and attractively to children the glorious deeds of American heroes, the sacrifices and bravery of our soldiers and sailors in wartime, the personalities of the presidents, who might properly be regarded as symbols of the nation in the manner in which royal personages of Europe were regarded." A study of 400 textbooks published between 1915 and 1930 found almost all of them were robustly nationalistic, or as one scholar commented: "The American is taught to respect and to venerate his forebears and the institutions which they designed and developed." How appropriate. How passe. Today, we're lucky if students can pick their forebears out of a lineup. The content of education began to change in the middle of the 20th century, and eventually tipped into embarrassment and self-abasement. Huntington cites a study of 22 grade-school readers published in the 1970s and 1980s. Out of 670 stories and articles in the books, only five were patriotic. All of the stories dated from prior to 1780. Four of them focused on a girl. Three of them involved the same girl, Sybil Ludington, the female Paul Revere. As this transpired down below in the elementary schools, the professional historians worked to kill American history from above. They suffocated it first in datadriven "social history" and then in multiculturalism, until it seemed fit only for obsessives about race or gender. This pincer movement has degraded our collective store of self-knowledge. Ravitch points out that students score better on math, reading, science, civics, writing and geography than on history. It is practically going the way of home ec. The neglect of history leaves on the cuttingroom floor all the entertaining, instructive and inspiring material involved in the world's most daring and (ultimately) successful experiment in self-government. Worse, it robs us of one of the most important constituent parts of our national identity. Historian David Lowenthal says of heritage: "By means of it we tell ourselves who we are, where we came from, and to what we belong." Increasingly, we don't know and don't want to know. "Never forget" is an appropriate admonition for victims of atrocities. "Never remember" is a strange and ominous admonition for a nation somebody or other once called "the last best hope of earth."

Critics of Ohio lottery privatization, slots grow COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A chorus of critics across the political spectrum is rising up against plans by Ohio Republicans to privatize day-to-day operations of the state lottery and expand its reach into slots-like video lottery terminals at horse tracks. On Friday, the American Policy Roundtable and the Ohio Roundtable condemned an agreement between the state and Rock Ohio Caesars, the operator of planned casinos in Cleveland and Cincinnati. The conservative policy groups, which opposed the 2009 constitutional amendment that authorized four casinos in Ohio, said they anticipate multiple lawsuits challenging GOP Gov. John Kasich’s deal with the developer as well as lottery privatization. “Of course we’re going to litigate,” said David Zanotti, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, “and so are a bunch of other people. You can rest assured Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 what they’re opening up is a Pandora’s box of lawsuits that is going to go on and on and on — because you can’t go about trying to make fixes the wrong way. You can’t do what they’re trying to do.” Pointing to the Ohio Constitution and other provisions of state law, the groups say the lottery must be run by a state agency, its proceeds can’t be diverted from education, casino fees can’t be adjusted without a constitutional amendment, the governor doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally authorize VLTs at tracks and a tax on businesses’ commercial activity can’t be applied differently to various businesses or industries. Zanotti accused Kasich of backroom dealing that’s thwarting the public, describing it as “some amazing political corruption.” Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols defended the governor’s efforts as striving to secure better deals from casinos for Ohio taxpayers. “We don’t comment on litigation,” he said. “Regardless, the governor is very pleased with the deal reached with Rock, with the additional $110 million coming to the state, and with the significant number of jobs and substantial economic development provided for under the agreement.” The deal the governor struck dictates how the state’s commercial activities tax will apply to casino revenues and laid out rules for slots-style VLTs at Ohio’s seven horse tracks. In exchange, the company agreed to pay an additional $110 million to the state over the next 10 years and increase its investments in the state from $500 million to $900 million. VLT licenses would cost $50 million, with revenues taxed at 33.5 percent. Gambling opponents aren’t the only ones disparaging changes proposed for the Cleveland-based Ohio Lottery Commission. Innovation Ohio, a think tank led by former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland’s chief policy adviser, said the VLT proposal Strickland laid out two years ago was a better financial deal for Ohioans than what Kasich and ROC CEO Dan Gilbert have agreed to. That plan was sidelined by a lawsuit. The think tank pointed out that Strickland’s plan called for a 50 percent tax on operators of video lottery terminals at racetracks plus $65 million in licensing fees. “While we applaud the Governor’s pressing them for more money, we believe the deal he struck with ROC poses some significant questions concerning what Ohio got versus what it gave up,” Innovation Ohio spokesman Dale Butland said in a statement. As of Friday, Penn National Gaming Inc., the operator of two other casinos authorized in the 2009 amendment, also had not yet signed onto the deal. It also owns a pair of tracks in the state that would be eligible under the ROC agreement to operate VLTs. Henry L. Mabry, Jr. Henry L. “Jim” Mabry, Jr., 68, of Culloden, W.Va., died June 17, 2011, at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, June 19, 2011, at Mt.

OSHA seeks applications for $4.7 million in safety and health training grants WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is soliciting applications under the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, through which a total of $4.7 million is available to nonprofit, community and faith-based organizations, employer associations and labor unions. The grants will fund training for workers and employers to recognize workplace hazards and appropriate control measures, and to understand their rights and responsibilities under OSHA’s regulations and standards. “The Department of Labor is committed to ensuring that businesses and workers are fully aware of health and safety rules,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “The programs funded by these grants will supply small businesses, hardto-reach workers and those in high-hazard industries with the knowledge and tools they need to support safe and healthful workplaces.” There are four types of safety and health training grants available: capacity building pilot; capacity building developmental; targeted topic training; and training and educational materials development. Capacity building pilot grants are intended to assist organizations in assessing their needs and formulating a capacity building plan before moving forward with a full-scale safety and health education program. Capacity building developmental grants are for organizations that already provide occupational safety and health training, education and related assistance to their constituents, and are seeking to expand their capacity. Targeted topic grants and training and educational material development grants support the development of quality training materials and programs for workers Campaign gives Ohio dairy farmers compelling voice, opportunity to showcase their modern dairy farms COLUMBUS – Each year, the month of June is officially designated as National Dairy Month – a month to celebrate nutritious milk and dairy foods and the farmers who produce them. In Ohio, Dairy Month is sponsored by the American Dairy Association Mideast (ADA Mideast). “There are more than 3,200 dairy farms in Ohio that produce approximately 5.270 billion pounds of dairy foods annually ranking the state 11th in the nation in milk production,” said Scott Higgins, ADA Mideast CEO. “With that volume of production comes a similarly large commitment for the state’s farmers to provide excellent animal care and environmental responsibility to provide nutritious, high-quality milk and dairy foods for our consumers.” Recognizing that the majority of Ohioans are generations removed from the farm, the leaders at ADA Mideast are continuing a campaign to showcase real Ohio dairy farmers and give consumers a firsthand look inside the operations of today’s dairy farms. The campaign focuses on raising consumer awareness of cow and calf care on dairy farms, environmental responsibility and management of natural resources by Ohio dairy farmers and the commitment dairy farmers have to milk and dairy food safety from the farm to the table. Now in its third year, the campaign includes a redesigned website featuring three new videos on milk safety, new dairy farmer profiles, additional videos and e-postcards. The site also provides answers to commonly asked questions and concerns consumers may have about dairy. In addition, the site features many educational opportunities for students, including a dairy quiz, kids’ video, “Meet Our Team” page, and a section to learn more about Daisy the Holstein and her other dairy cow friends. The campaign will be promoted through TV commercials that will air on television stations throughout the state from June 13-27. The commercials explain the steps that Ohio dairy farmers take to ensure responsible animal care and to provide safe, affordable milk for their consumers. The commercials also encourage consumers to visit OhioDairyFarmers.com to learn more.

First, all employees should fill out a W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, when starting a new job. This form is used by employers to determine the amount of tax that will be withheld from your paycheck. If you have multiple summer jobs, you’ll want to make sure all of your employers are withholding an adequate amount of taxes to cover your total income tax. “A good way of ensuring that your withholding is correct is by using the automated Withholding Calculator on the IRS website, www.IRS.gov,” Jenkins said. Next, if you received a refund of all withheld federal income taxes for 2010 and you expect the same for 2011, you may claim “exempt” on your Form W-4 when you’re hired. That can increase your paycheck and possibly let you avoid having to file a 2011 federal tax return. If you claim exempt status, your employer should withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from your wages but not federal income tax. “The Withholding Calculator on www.IRS.gov can also help you determine if you are exempt from having federal income taxes withheld,” noted Jenkins. Whether you are working as a waiter or a camp counselor, you may receive tips as part of your summer income. All tip income you receive is taxable income and is therefore subject to federal income tax. Many students do odd jobs over the summer to make extra cash. Earnings you received from self-employment are subject to income tax. These earnings include income from odd jobs like babysitting and lawn mowing. Estimated tax payments can be made by submitting Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, along with your payment. If you have net earnings of $400 or more from self-employment, you are subject to selfemployment tax. “The self-employment tax pays for your benefits under the Social Security system. Social Security and Medicare benefits are available to individuals who are selfemployed as well as to wage earners who have Social Security tax and Medicare tax withheld from their wages,” Jenkins said. The self- employment tax is figured on Form 1040, Schedule SE. “If you have federal income taxes withheld or made estimated tax payments, you may be entitled to a refund, but you must file a tax return in order to get it. You’ll also need to file a tax return if you meet the filing requirements,” stated Jenkins. When tax season arrives, Jenkins advises that working students consider electronic filing using the Free File or e-file programs available on www.IRS.gov. “E-filing is safe, easy, fast and accurate,” she added. Grant will help homeowners in danger of losing their homes COLUMBUS — The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) has been awarded $1,461,561 to continue supporting the availability of foreclosure counseling and prevention services across the state. The grant was awarded through the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling (NFMC) Program, created by Congress in 2007, to help families at risk of foreclosure by connecting them to trained housing counselors. The NFMC Program is administered through a competitive application process by NeighborWorks America. NeighborWorks America is an independent, Congressionally-char- tered non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., with a mission to provide access to sustainable homeownership and safe, affordable rental housing. To date, OHFA is the state’s largest recipient of NFMC funding, with over $9 million awarded since April 2008. “OHFA uses NFMC funds to partner with local housing counseling agencies located throughout the state to provide counseling services and negotiations with loan servicers on behalf of homeowners,” said Doug Garver, Executive Director for the Agency. “Since 2008, OHFA grantees have utilized NFMC funding to provide counseling ser- vices to nearly 22,000 Ohioans facing mortgage distress. This grant will provide services to an estimated 5,000 distressed homeowners.” NFMC awarded $31.7 million to 37 housing finance agencies and $36 million to 101 organizations in this round of funding. Funding through the NFMC pro- gram has provided foreclosure counseling to more than 1.1 million households. An estimated 184,000 families nationally are expected to be helped with the most recent round of awards.

Transportation Secretary announces up to $175 million in ʻlivabilityʼ grants WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced the availability of up to $175 million in livability grants to help urban, suburban and rural communities develop transit options to better connect people to where they live, work and play. Local transit agencies will be able to compete for livability dollars from the pool of up to $175 million. The competitive grant program will begin accepting applications when announced in the Federal Register during the week of June 20. The announcement comes on the second anniversary of the cre- ation of the federal Partnership for S u s t a i n a b l e Communities. Livability grants are aimed at assuring that transportation and housing decisions are made jointly and recognize the unique character of each community. “Coordinated transportation and housing planning can make the best use of scarce federal dollars and can help create jobs, lower transportation costs and reduce our dependence on oil,” said Secretary LaHood. “Communities where people have access to affordable housing and different forms of transportation to get to places that are important to Marine reservist in custody after Pentagon scare ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — A Marine Corps reservist carrying a backpack containing what authorities said were suspicious materials briefly fled police Friday before he was detained in the middle of the night near the Pentagon. Yonathan Melaku, 22, of Alexandria, Va., was discovered after 1 a.m. Friday inside Arlington National Cemetery, hours after it had closed. He was detained for trespassing after becoming uncooperative, authorities said, though he has not yet been charged with anything. Authorities believe Melaku acted alone. Investigators in protective white suits and bomb-sniffing dogs were going through his brick town-home in suburban Washington and removing evidence. Melaku is a naturalized citizen originally from Ethiopia. Nothing suspicious was found in Melaku’s car, a red 2011 Nissan that was parked in bushes near a Pentagon parking lot, authorities said, but they became alarmed by several items in his backpack. Melaku had a bag with a substance that appeared to have contained a couple pounds of ammonium nitrate, a chemical compound widely used in fertilizers and can be used in explosives with the correct concentration, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the investigation. The official said there was nothing else in the bag that could have contributed to an explosion. The FBI said the items were non-explosive, but were undergoing further testing at the laboratory in Quantico. Melaku joined the Marine Corps Reserves in September 2007 and is currently listed as a lance corporal and motor vehicle operator, according to the FBI. He has not been deployed overseas. He has received the National Defense Service Medal and the Selected Marine Corps Reserve Medal. Neighbors said they had seen Melaku and his father occasionally driving taxicabs but did not know them well and never saw anything unusual. 417 2nd Ave., Gallipolis 740-446-1761 • www.myinsplus.com them are communities where people want to live.” The Partnership for S u s t a i n a b l e Communities is a collaborative effort among the Departments of Transportation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency to help American families gain better access to affordable housing, better transportation options and lower transportation costs. The three departments created the highlevel interagency partnership to better coordinate federal transportation, environmental protection, and housing invest- ments. “In addition to the need for affordable housing, the Obama Administration recognizes the necessity for safe, convenient and affordable transportation,” said Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff. “We’re helping to better connect communities and create reliable transit choices so that people can make it home from work in time to sit down to dinner with their families or help their kids with homework.

The remaining funds come from the Alternatives Analysis Program, which provides money to help communities evaluate and select the best transit options to meet their transportation needs. The money can be spent on a broad range of projects within those two categories. FTA’s Alternatives Analysis grant program is the first key milestone in obtaining federal investments in new capital transit projects. The alternatives analysis is complete once a locally preferred alternative is selected and adopted as part of the affected region’s long-range transportation plan. �Sunday, June 19, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A8 Ohio amusement park celebrates 125th birthday CINCINNATI (AP) — It began as an apple orchard, grew into a picnic grove, blossomed into a riverside resort and then became a full-scale amusement park. Along the way, it survived devastating floods, the Great Depression, polio scares, a long desegregation battle and competition from bigger theme parks to become a summertime tradition for generations of greater Cincinnatians. Coney Island, the 75acre amusement park on the banks of the Ohio River, is marking its 125th anniversary this year — and its status as the sixth-oldest amusement park in the country. The biggest celebration of the season is happening all day Saturday, with discounted admission after 4 p.m., $1.25 concession specials, free birthday cake, live music, a memorabilia display and fireworks over Lake Como at 10 p.m. “There’s a long-term love affair with Cincinnati and Coney Island,” said Tom Rhein, the park’s vice president of food operations and its resident historian. “People really want it to be successful. That’s kind of a neat feeling.” Originally called “Ohio Grove, Coney Island of the West” — a nod to the Coney Island of the East, in New York — the park was founded on June 21, 1886 by a steamboat captain named William F. McIntyre and his partners. They paid $17,500 for what was then a picnic grove and riverside resort with a dance hall and a few rides and games, to which visitors arrived by steamboat. The pivotal year for the park was 1925, Rhein said. George F. Schott and Rudolph Hynicka, who had purchased the park the year before, built a new Island Queen steamboat to bring visitors to the park after the original was destroyed by fire; Moonlite Gardens, where some of the biggest names in big band music and early rock ‘n’ roll performed; a midway; and the enormous Sunlite Pool. Containing 3 million gallons of water, it remains the world’s largest recirculating swimming pool. Coney became regarded as one of the best-run amusement parks in the country. Walt Disney himself visited the park in 1953 when he was planning Disneyland. “It was a microcosm of the way we all played and relaxed,” said Gary Wachs, the grandson of George Schott and the assistant park manager and vice president from 1961 to 1970. “The old advertising slogan was ‘Ride, swim, dine and dance at Coney Island.’ Some people would literally go through the whole routine.” Sunlite Pool was the only part of the park that remained open in 1972, a year after park owners Taft Broadcasting shut it down to open Kings Island in Kings Mills, which many believed meant the end of Coney Island. But even after families began flocking to Kings Island, Coney made a comeback. Owners gradually reopened the picnic groves and the miniature golf course, built a dance hall and added rides. The newest is the child’s swing ride called the Swing-A-Round that opened this year. “In essence, it’s kind of the park that refused to die,” said Jim Futrell, the historian for the National Amusement Park Historical Association. “It’s unprecedented. It really speaks to the love that Cincinnati has for that place.” Although Coney does not release attendance numbers, 2010 was the park’s best attendance year, and it’s on track to match or exceed that this year, said Mary Schumacher, senior vice president for sales and marketing. Attendance normally approaches 1 million, she said. On any given day, you can find visitors and employees whose families have been coming to the park for decades. Lifeguard supervisor Krista Howard, 41, has worked at Coney since she was 16 and met her husband, Mike Howard — now the park’s vice president of operations — there. She now oversees more than 100 lifeguards, 54 of whom are working on any given day. One of those regulars is Dick Devine, 72, of Anderson Township, who has been a regular since he was about 10 years old. Three of his four children swam on Coney’s team and went on to become lifeguards, and he also officiated swim meets. Today, he brings his grandchildren to the pool weekly. “Over all these years, most of the people down here I know, at least by sight,” he said on a recent Friday at the pool. “I’ve enjoyed being involved down here and watching kids grow up, become adults and raise their own kids. This is really a generational pool.” Kathleen Weichman of Forest Park also grew up going to Coney Island with her family, always on Price Hill Day. (On Price Hill Day in 1948, when she was 6, her family won free admission to the park and got their picture in the Cincinnati Post because they were the 500th family to enter.) Weichman went to Moonlite Gardens on dates as a teenager and brought her own children and grandchildren there. She said its size and crowds are smaller compared with bigger theme parks, so she never worries about her grandchildren’s safety. “At the time when I was a kid, it was exciting because it was the biggest park around,” she said. “Now, I like it because it’s not the biggest park around.” But there are still those who remember a time when Coney Island wasn’t open to every family. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the integration of Sunlite Pool on May 29, 1961, six years after the park opened its doors to black visitors. Civil rights groups had been pressuring Coney to admit African-Americans since 1952. Former Cincinnati City Councilwoman Marian Spencer of Avondale, now 90, was a key part of that effort. But even after the battle was won, she had little interest in going to the park, and she thinks many other African-American families felt the same way. “I think there’s a residue that occurs from history,” she said. “It took a long time and a big fight with the NAACP to make those changes ... and even though the change had occurred, that kind of thing was passed down.” Coney’s gradual integration, Rhein said, was “a work in progress reflective of the times and the individuals involved.” “We certainly are a richer, more diverse park today,” he said, “because the people of that time found a way to make it so.” COUPON $5.00 Gift Card with new or transferred prescriptions.

Pa. health chief wants to analyze drilling areas HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett’s top health adviser said Friday that he wants to make Pennsylvania the first state to create a registry to track illnesses in communities near heavy drilling in the Marcellus Shale natural gas formation to determine what kind of impact, if any, the activity has on public health. Health Secretary Eli Avila told Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission that creating such a registry is the timeliest and most important step the Department of Health could take, and that his agency is not aware of anything like it in other drilling states. Collecting information on drilling-related health complaints, investigating them, centralizing the information in one database and then comparing illnesses in drilling communities with non-drilling communities could help refute or verify claims that drilling has an impact on public health, he said. The aggregation of data and information also would allow the Department of Health to make its findings public, in contrast to the privacy that surrounds its investigation into individual health complaints and the findings that may result. The Marcellus Shale formation, considered the nation’s largestknown natural gas reservoir, lies primarily beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio. Pennsylvania is the center of activity, with more than 3,000 wells drilled in the past three years and thousands more planned in the coming years as thick shale emerges as an affordable, plentiful and profitable source of natural gas. The rapid growth of deep shale drilling and its involvement of highvolume hydraulic fracturing, chemicals and often-toxic wastewater are spurring concerns in Pennsylvania about poisoned air and water.

The Top 10 of 2010-11 You like a good story? Sure you do, and who doesn’t? With the end of the 2010-11 school year coming a few weeks ago, I took some time to look back at what all happened this sports season in the Ohio Valley Publishing area — which pertains to Meigs, Gallia and Mason counties. What I found in my research was a sports year that featured a lot of amazing stories, way too many to try and list one-by-one. In revisiting all the stories from the last 10 months of high school competition, I came away with what I believe to be the 10 very best stories to come out of the 2010-11 sports campaign. And that is what I will share with you, starting now. 10. MEIGS COUNTY HOOPS. Howie Caldwell accepting the Federal Hocking boys basketball coaching job a few weeks ago is worthy of being a top-10 story, although it isn’t. Actually, it just adds more flavor to this story. After graduating four starters and losing roughly 80 percent of an offense from a team that went 20-2 and won the TVC Hocking, the Eagles had some major question marks entering the 2010-11 campaign. Caldwell, in response, possibly turned in his greatest coaching effort ever with the Green and White after guiding the Green and White to a second straight TVC Hocking crown in impressive fashion. The Eagles — behind a rocksolid defense and a group mentality — overcame just about everything thrown at in the regular season, as Eastern went on to win the league title by a threegame margin en route to an 18-4 overall mark. The 2010-11 campaign ended up being Caldwell’s 13th and final season at Eastern after serving 13 years at Southern previously. With over 375 career basketball wins (exactly 200 at Eastern) to his name, even Caldwell was a little stunned at how well this year’s team performed. “One thing I will always remember (about the team) is they liked each other. A lot of teams do not like one another. These kids do not care who shoots it, they do not care who rebounds it, you know what they want to do, they want to win,” Caldwell said. “A lot of people would see this club and would think how in the world would Bryan Walters they win 18 games? They did it by playing together.” Ironically, Eastern had its twoyear winning streak at home snapped in the regular season finale — which proved to be Caldwell’s final game at the Eagles’ Nest. Still, Caldwell leaves Eastern with one state appearance (2001), two district titles (2001, 2005), 10 sectional championships and five TVC Hocking crowns. Caldwell also has 59 basketball wins over the last four year — the most for any program in the OVP area. Howie Caldwell and Eastern, however, weren’t the only major basketball stories to come away Meigs County this winter. Southern advanced to its fourth straight district tournament under Jeff Caldwell, who has amassed 58 wins total in his four seasons with the Tornadoes — including at least 12 in each season. And then there was Meigs — a program that lost 19 straight last year en route to a 1-20 overall record. The Marauders ended the 2010-11 year with an overall mark of 11-11, but MHS finished second in the TVC Ohio and also earned its first sectional title since 1998. And the Eastern girls, well, they are coming up a little later on. 9. WELCOME TO THE CLUB. Take note River Valley. Moving to the Tri-Valley Conference can be a very enjoyable experience. Wahama and South Gallia each had productive runs through their inaugural seasons in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division, as both schools combined for all but four non-losing records in their first year of league play. Wahama’s inaugural campaign in the TVC Hocking was a magical one, as the White Falcons went unbeaten in both football and baseball en route to winning league championships. The boys basketball team also finished second in the league at 11-5 and — like the football and baseball programs — also quali- fied for the regional tournament. The Lady Falcons didn’t fare nearly as well in their first season in the TVC Hocking, as only the softball team managed to post a winning record while finishing tied for third in the league title chase. Wahama girls basketball went 6-10 and finished atop the bottom half of the standings, while the volleyball program went winless in league play this past fall. South Gallia, despite not winning a single league championship in boys or girls competition, still had a strong showing in its first-ever year of league play. The Lady Rebels were fourth in volleyball with an 11-5 mark, and both the girls basketball and softball teams had nine league wins while placing fifth in the Hocking Division. The softball team also won its firstever sectional title. The Rebels were fifth in football with a .500 mark, while the boys basketball team tied Belpre for sixth place with a 7-9 league mark. The baseball team ended its first season in eighth place, ahead of only Miller, with a 2-14 record. The basketball team, however, did win its first sectional title since the 2006 campaign. River Valley, currently a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, will officially become the 16th member of the Tri-Valley Conference in the fall of 2014 after being unanimously accepted by league voters in December 2010. Gallia Academy sent a total of 14 individuals to the state level this season, which included 12 athletes in track, three in cross country, two in wrestling and one swimmer. Matt Watts also had the rarest of senior seasons, qualifying for state in three different sports (cross country, wrestling, track) in one school year — a feat believed to be a first in GAHS history. Excluding the football team — which we’ll get to a little later — Wahama sent a total of seven individuals to state, as seven track members and one grappler reached the top level in their respective sports. River Valley had five individuals make it to state, which included four appearances in swimming and two more in track and field. Southern also joined the ranks of state qualifying in an individual sport this year, as Kody Wolfe became the first runner to qualify for state in both cross country and track since at least the turn of the millennium. Eastern also sent three athletes to the state track meet, which will be mentioned a little later on. And don’t forget about Ohio Valley Christian, which batted a thousand this year after sending all four of its varsity sports — soccer, volleyball, boys basketball and girls basketball — to the OCSAA Final Four in each of those respective tournaments. 8. STATE-BOUND. As was just noted, the OVP area had a pretty good sports season at the state level. Coming away with a prize, however, proved to be a little more difficult. Of the 68 individual qualifiers, only 26 came away with podium honors in their respective sports. In track and field, finishing on the podium results in scoring points for your team total ... and Point Pleasant had 15 athletes — Marquez Griffin, Zach Canterbury, Preston Rairden, Anthony Darst, Charles Walton, JeWaan Williams, Orrin Chason, Rogan Park, Ken Livingston, Andrea Porter, Chelsea Keefer, Allison Smith, Morgan Pethel, Cara Hesson and Mary Mullins — contribute scoring at the state meet. The Big Blacks finished fourth in Class AA with 42 points and the Lady Knights were 18th with 11 points. Wahama’s Kelsey Zuspan also scored 24 points by herself in Better to be last at the state level than never compete in it at all. Anything after that is a bonus. Qualifying for state as an athlete is a pinnacle achievement in itself, and the OVP area had more than its fair share of participation at that level during the 2010-11 season. In fact, the numbers were quite staggering in counting up the state competitors from the tri-county area — as 68 individuals and seven teams marched on to the top level of prep competition. Point Pleasant sent 25 athletes to the state track meet alone, and also had a pair of girls make it in tennis while golf and cross country were also represented for a total of 27 individual state qualifiers. And that is not including the efforts of the wrestling and boys basketball squads, which we’ll get to a little later on. 7. SCORE ONE FOR THE TEAM. Please see Top 10, B8 �Page B2 • Sunday Times-Sentinel Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Speakers, presidents have complicated social ties WASHINGTON (AP) — Dwight Eisenhower got along better with Democrat Sam Rayburn than with leaders of his own party. Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan famously would bury political differences after 6 p.m. Newt Gingrich felt snubbed by Bill Clinton on Air Force One. Presidents and House speakers have a history of complicated relationships. On Saturday, President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner will add their own chapter on the golf links, political opposites each trying to put a ball in the same hole. Boehner and the president have a courteous, but not a social relationship. Their interactions are so businesslike that their decision to play golf together has been given significance far greater than it probably deserves. While the president’s frequent golf outings occur outside the prying eyes of the press, White House spokesman Jay Carney announced Friday that journalists this time will at least get to glimpse — and a chance to photograph — Obama and Boehner with their game faces on. “They both play golf. A lot of Americans play golf,” Carney said. “And this is an opportunity that I think has value beyond the game, great value beyond the game.” Perhaps. Past president-speaker relationships have been defined by specific moments. O’Neill and Reagan shared evening martinis at the White House and exchanged Irish tales. Rayburn gave Eisenhower a heifer for the president’s Pennsylvania farm. Gingrich complained that Clinton forced him to exit through the rear entrance of Air Force One during their 1995 trip to Israel for the funeral of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In these days of hyper partisanship, O’Neill, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Reagan, a Republican, are often held up as models of civility. They had drinks, traded stories and worked out a deal to extend the life of Social Security. But O’Neill also was combative, using charged language to underscore his positions. Reagan’s son Michael wrote recently that when the president confronted O’Neill on his tough attacks, O’Neill replied: “That’s politics buddy. After 6 p.m. we can be friends. Before six, it’s hardball.” Underlying the presidential and speaker relations is the constitutional power the two institutions represent. Congress and the presidency are co-equal branches of government, a status House speakers jealously protect. Sam Rayburn, who was speaker on and off between 1940 and 1961, told an interviewer years later: “I never served under any President. I served with eight.” In his biography of Rayburn, Alfred Steinberg described how Eisenhower would invite Rayburn and then Senate Majority leader Lyndon Johnson to the second floor White House residence for a drink and a canapé, angering Vice President Richard Nixon, who complained to friends that during Eisenhower’s eight years as president, he never invited Nixon upstairs at the White House. But if party opposites sometimes attract, same party speakers and presidents haven’t always fared so well. O’Neill and President Jimmy Carter, both Democrats, had a cool relationship from the start. In his autobiography, O’Neill recalled how he had asked Carter aides to accommodate friends and family members at an inauguration gala only to see them seated in the last row of the second balcony. A Carter staffer apologized, but O’Neill con- Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/MCT President Barack Obama delivers a statement after meeting with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) at the White House on Wednesday, April 6, in Washington, D.C.

I could see that this was just the beginning of my problems with these guys.” The Obama-Boehner golf outing comes as the White House and Congress negotiate a longterm deficit reduction plan while they set the stage for increasing the government’s borrowing authority. Republicans have insisted on significant cuts of about $2 trillion over 10 or 12 years before agreeing to increase the current $14.3 debt ceiling, which the government says it will surpass Aug. 2. The outing “is meant to be an opportunity for the speaker and the president, as well as the vice president and Ohio governor, to have a conversation, to socialize in a way that so rarely happens in Washington,” Carney said. “I would expect they will talk about some of the very important issues that have to be dealt with by this administration and this Congress.” John Feehery, who served as a top aide to former Speaker Dennis Hastert, said such private sessions are useful but that speakers must be wary. It’s a doubled edged sword,” he said. “It’s important to establish trust with the person you’re negotiating with. When you have a speaker and a president from different parties, it’s all about negotiation. But it also can be dangerous if you get too charmed.” Hastert replaced Gingrich as speaker and had a better relationship with Clinton. “They had a good personal chemistry and got along pretty well, Clinton was good with Hastert,” Feehery said. “But Hastert also had to avoid missteps with his conservative wing.” Boehner and Obama do not appear to have much in common. The speaker is gregarious, a creature of Washington with an emotional streak; Obama has a small circle of friends and a cool demeanor. But they have their similarities; both grew up in working class families, both are known to enjoy a cigarette, though aides say Obama has quit. And both have their golf. “The fact that he and Obama both play golf, smoke and drink merlot — they have some common ground,” Feehery said. “What you’re trying to do is find the sense of humanity of each person and find a sense of, ‘Is this someone I can do business with?’” CHRISTIAN MORRIS CONSTRUCTION, INC.

In locations like Gallia and Meigs counties, a bear sighting generally creates a bit of a local sensation, especially if they happen to wander through a residential or populated area. The bear’s course through our area can often be tracked by sightings phoned in to local sheriff’s offices or the Ohio Division of Wildlife. I recall a particularly bear that traveled through Meigs County back in the 1990’s, when I was working as a cub reporter at The Daily Sentinel. This bear traveled through Pomeroy and eventually worked its way along the Ohio River toward northeastern Ohio before disappearing most likely vanishing into West Virginia. The Ohio River is little obstacle for these bears. In 2010, approximately 31 different black bears were confirmed in the Buckeye State according to the ODNR Division of Wildlife. The division does not anticipate the population of Ohio’s largest mammal, a state endangered species, to exactly increase in 2011, but it does believe that sightings of the burly creatures are expected to rise in the summer months. During spring and summer months, young male black bears disperse on a quest to find their own territory. Scott Peters, wildlife management assistant supervisor for northeast Ohio explained, “Dispersal occurs annually when an adult female bear (referred to as a sow) boots her one-and-a-half year old cubs out of the family unit so she can breed and raise a new litter of In the Open Jim Freeman cubs.” Young females have smaller ranges and seldom venture as far as males to establish territories. The Division of Wildlife estimates the Buckeye bear population at about 60 black bears living in Ohio year round. During 2010, a total of 164 reported sightings of black bears occurred in 23 Ohio counties. Most sightings occurred in northeast and southeast Ohio. In 2009 there were two black bear sightings in Meigs County and none in Gallia County. A confirmed report is defined as tracks, sightings, or other reliable evidence that provided the Division of Wildlife investigator with reasonable assurance that a bear was present. The Division of Wildlife has formally documented black bear observations in Ohio since 1993. If you see a black bear, enjoy the opportunity (without doing anything stupid like approaching it or feeding it) and report the sighting to the Ohio Division of Wildlife District 4 office at 740589-9930. Obviously things like trail camera photos, clearly defined tracks or other sign will help move the sighting from the “reported” to “confirmed” column. Efforts to monitor the Ohio black bear have been supported by the Wildlife Diversity and Endangered Species fund, which receives donations from Ohioans through the state income tax checkoff program and by the purchases of cardinal license plates and Wildlife Legacy Stamps. The black bear is protected by state law. E RRORS REPORTED O HIO FISHING REGULATIONS ON TURTLES AND FROGS Anglers need to be aware of a typographical error in Publication 84, Ohio fishing regulations 2011-12 regarding the opening day of turtle season and the bag limit on frogs says the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. The correct opening date for turtle season is July 1, 2011, not the second Friday in June (June 10) as printed in the regulations. Also, the bag limit on frogs should be 15, not 10 as printed.

Frank McCourt must first receive Major League Baseball’s approval of a 17-year television contract with Fox reported to be worth up to $3 billion. Under the settlement, McCourt would receive $385 million upfront, most of which would be used for Dodger-related expenses. B a s e b a l l Commissioner Bud Selig has given no indication if he would approve the deal, but McCourt said MLB officials have asked him to meet select criteria. “Baseball has been very clear,” McCourt said outside court. “They wanted to see this divorce settled, and all this white noise gone, or they wanted Jamie’s consent for the Fox transaction or they wanted a judge to give them an order to move forward. Today we have achieved all three.” MLB spokesman Pat Courtney declined comment. Dennis Wasser, an attorney for Jamie McCourt, hopes the TV deal will be finalized early next week. If MLB doesn’t approve the TV transaction, the settlement is null and void. “I am just hoping for resolution, and I hope this is a step in that resolution,” Jamie McCourt said. Some observers said the settlement gives Frank McCourt the legal firepower he needs to get MLB to sign off on the TV transaction. “There are now no impediments and if the TV deal isn’t approved, it’s for other reasons than what (MLB) has stated before,” said Los Angeles family law attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer, who is not involved in the McCourts’ case. The decision to reject the deal would then be “personal” on MLB’s behalf and serves as a springboard for Frank McCourt to sue the league, she added. In addition to the TV deal, the settlement called for a one-day “characterization” trial Aug. 4 to determine if title to the Dodgers is in Frank McCourt’s name or if the team should be considered community property and sold. If Jamie McCourt prevails at trial, the team, stadium and surrounding property — worth hundreds of millions of dollars — would be split between the former couple and “be sold by the parties in an orderly manner under the court’s supervision,” according to the settlement. If the Dodger assets are deemed to belong to Frank McCourt, he would give his ex-wife $100 million and she would retain six luxurious homes. He also will continue to pay monthly spousal support up to $650,000, the agreement said. Frank McCourt said all other issues in the divorce were settled, and a hearing set for Wednesday where Jamie McCourt was expected to ask Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon to order the sale of the team was canceled. In April, Major League Baseball took the extraordinary step of assuming control of the troubled franchise. Former Texas Rangers President Tom Schieffer was appointed to monitor the Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B3 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis team on behalf of Selig, who said he took the action because he was concerned about the team’s finances and how the Dodgers are being run. Frank McCourt also has had to contend with meeting team payroll. He’s managed several times since the beginning of the season to pay the team’s bills — he took a $30 million loan from Fox earlier this year — but has to account for deferred compensation for some former players by the end of June. Among them is retired slugger Manny Ramirez, who is owed nearly $7 million on June 30 as part of a two-year, $45 million contract he signed with the Dodgers. The former couple’s lavish lifestyle was exposed in court documents where it was revealed that they took out more than $100 million in loans from Dodgers-related businesses. Their spending habits were likened to using the money from the team as though it was their personal ATM or credit card. When pressed by a reporter about whether he has enough money to cover team expenses without MLB’s approval of the TV deal, McCourt sounded confident. “We’re going to proceed and do and meet all of our obligations as we always have, yes,” he said. In December, Gordon deemed invalid a postnuptial marital agreement that gave Frank McCourt sole ownership of the Dodgers. That cleared the way for Jamie McCourt, who served as the team’s CEO and was fired by her ex-husband two years ago, to seek half the team under California’s community property law. The McCourts’ lawyers had spent several sessions in front Gordon to reach an agreement and they worked throughout the night before striking a deal shortly before Friday’s hearing began. Despite Frank McCourt’s earlier pledge that none of the upfront TV money would be used toward his divorce, the settlement terms show otherwise. About $50 million would be placed in an account subject to Gordon’s orders, while another $10 million would be used for attorneys’ fees, the agreement said. About $80 million would go toward paying off debt and each of the McCourts would receive $5 million for their own personal use. The remainder of the money — about $235 million — would be used for the Dodgers, including repayment to McCourt for money the agreement says he advanced to the team this year that is not to exceed $23.5 million.

(AP) — One of Dana Holgorsen’s first acts after taking over as West Virginia’s head football coach was to get away from his official duties. Holgorsen spent time fishing in southern West Virginia this week with a group that included several boosters and basketball coach Bob Huggins. Holgorsen also went skydiving, taking a tandem jump over the New River Gorge with a U.S. Army parachute team “It was very calm,” Holgorsen said at a news conference Friday. “There were no houses. There was no traffic. There was no motor boats, so there was some peaceful time that I could sit back and reflect on what’s going on.” Holgorsen was hired away from Oklahoma State in December as offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting, then took over when Bill Stewart resigned June 10 following a meeting with athletic director Oliver Luck. It capped a tumultuous two weeks in which both Holgorsen and Stewart made headlines for the wrong reasons.

More recently, a reporter said Stewart had approached him shortly after Holgorsen’s hiring to “dig up” dirt on his eventual successor. Holgorsen held his first team meeting on Tuesday, then met with his coaches and support staff Friday to discuss the program’s future. “Six months ago when I sat here, I knew what was ahead of me and I felt very good about it due to the fact that I had a tremendous trust” in Luck and university President James Clements, Holgorsen said. “I knew it was going to happen eventually. We just expedited the process.” Holgorsen’s offenses at Oklahoma State and Houston have been prolific, and he made a point to recognize the head coaches he’s worked under, specifically Houston’s Kevin Sumlin and former Texas Tech coach Mike He’ll have to hire a new recruiting coordinator and another assistant coach, something he’s currently in the process of doing. Holgorsen said one of his first tasks will be getting to know the defensive players better, something he didn’t have to do as offensive coordinator. “Players are more resilient than any coach or fan, because they can come in and get back to work,” Holgorsen said. “It doesn’t linger with them.” All players are expected to report and be ready for summer workouts by June 27. Leach. Holgorsen said he picked up aspects of the profession from those coaches. “It’s all about what’s ahead,” Holgorsen said. “You don’t look back. You use that as a resource, but you don’t use it to sit back and say that you’ve made it. It’s all about what you can do going forward.” Holgorsen doesn’t plan to make scheme changes on the offense, defense or special teams this season in order to make the transition more seamless. He will continue as offensive coordinator and call plays in 2011. »»» reen Go G »» Save Money on Your T No V o P OC Utility Bills with oll ute Thermal Insulating Paint for HOME • INDUSTRY • TRANSPORTATION Gheen’s Painting Inc. “T Long Bottom, Ohio hi No 1-800-554-5582 n Pa ne 1-740-949-0405 in rs t ” 1-740-590-3700 ater W anup Cle Why Not Mow with the That’s Gravely #1 An American Workhorse Since 1916 Flip - Manning - Butch Proud to have sold Gravely Equipment for 34 years.

A month following the tragic and unexpected death of quarter-century coach Jim Derrow, Chris Graham has been hired as the new bench boss of the Golden Rockets. Graham got the official nod in a special meeting of the Wellston City Schools Board of Education on Monday night. “It’s an honor to take over the program. I feel like I can step in and may not fill Coach Derrow’s shoes, but continue a good tradition. I want to pass Coach Derrow’s dedication and passion and hard work onto these kids,” said Graham in an interview with The Jackson County TimesJournal. “I told Coach Derrow when I was his assistant coach that I wasn’t much of an assistant. I was more of a head coach than an assistant coach. And he agreed at the time. We kind of laughed about it at the time. But I thought he (Derrow) was going to be around here (Wellston boys basketball coach) forever. I think we all did.” Graham inherits the Wellston boys program after the prominent Derrow — the school’s boys basketball coach of the past 25 seasons and all-time winningest coach in the sport — passed away on May 16. Graham, along with newly-hired Wellston head baseball coach Jonathan Ervin, eulogized Derrow at his funeral service. Derrow guided the Golden Rockets to 286 career victories in 24 full seasons and two games of the 2008-09 campaign. Under his tutelage, Wellston won three TriValley Conference championships, including outright titles in 1989-90 and 2002-03. He captured six sectional championships as well, including three consecutive from 1989 thru 1991 with his final one coming this past season. Graham, a shooting specialist and standout at Wellston in the late 1980s, played on two of Derrow’s three TVC championship teams. He graduated in 1990, but has coached in Derrow’s program for nearly a decade, including eight years at the junior high level after one season as a varsity assistant. He was also the varsity assistant on the baseball squad in Derrow’s first three seasons (2007, 2008 and 2009) as the Golden Rocket skipper. The 2007 squad shared the TVC-Ohio championship with Alexander and Meigs, as the 2009 club captured the Division III district runner-up. But basketball is what Graham will focus on exclusively now. He said he “takes to heart a lot of what we did in the early years of Coach Derrow’s program.” “We want to carry on Coach Derrow’s tradition, and I want to bring some of my own personality to it,” said Graham. Derrow’s teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s were affectionately nicknamed the “Runnin’ Rockets” because of their distinctive up-tempo style of play. The current Rocket roster returns intact minus one graduated senior, and is coming off an 11-11 season which included the program’s first sectional championship since 2003. He said the coaching staff will return intact as well, which includes — for the upcoming academic year — volunteer varsity assistants Tim Dyson, Terry Gill and Rob Ervin. Derrow’s son, Brant, will be the reserve coach, with Chris Wallis returning as the freshman coach. Graham said statistician Roger Scott and scorekeeper Roger Rader, Derrow’s scorekeeper for all 25 seasons, return also. “Everybody that was in the varsity program last year is back. The only change is me for Coach Derrow,” he said. Wellston will also be the only team in the TVC-Ohio with a new head coach this season.

As the school anxiously awaits potential NCAA sanctions and further public shame from the tattoo-formemorabilia scandal that has already claimed coach Jim Tressel and quarterback Terrelle Pryor, schools like rival Michigan, Big Ten newcomer Nebraska, and reawakened Notre Dame could be poised to tear a few chunks off the battered Buckeyes. Recruiting, you see, is a bloodsport all its own. Though it’s too early to fully assess what impact Ohio State’s present problems — and any future troubles it may face once the NCAA has its say — will have on recruiting, it’s clear the Buckeyes could take some major hits. They may have already. On Friday, Tom Strobel, a 6-foot-6, 245pound junior defensive end from Mentor, Ohio, committed to the Wolverines, who under new coach Brady Hoke figure to benefit from Ohio State’s mess more than any other school. Although Strobel said Michigan’s academics ultimately swayed him to choose the Big Blue over the Buckeyes, the team he’s cheered for since his childhood, threatening storm clouds enshrouding Columbus certainly didn’t help Ohio State’s cause. “When I filled out Strobel’s evaluation card after talking to him, I wrote down, ‘95 percent going to Ohio State,’” CBS College Sports recruiting analyst Tom Lemming said. “I thought he was a lock and I thought the Top 10 recruits in Ohio would all end up going to Ohio State. “But now, with Tressel gone and so much uncertainty hanging over the program, I’m not so sure.” What’s clear at this point is that Ohio State has an image problem, one that could potentially turn off prospective players — mainly ones from outside Ohio — who, like everyone else, have spent the past several weeks watching a college football giant dropped to its kneepads. Tressel’s resignation, followed just one week later by Pryor’s decision to bolt before his senior season, have tarnished the program. And things could get much worse for Ohio State after a meeting in August, when the school is scheduled to appear before the NCAA’s committee on infractions. There could be longterm consequences. It’s possible the Buckeyes will be banned for several years from postseason play, suffer a substantial reduction in scholarships, and perhaps even be stripped of conference titles. Whatever the outcome, Ohio State may not seem as inviting to blue-chippers, who could be turned off by what has transpired or what lies ahead. “Kids go to Ohio State because of its tradition, the chance to play for and win a national championship and maybe to someday go to the NFL,” said Lemming, who has charted recruiting’s growth from underground curiosity to bigtime business over the past 32 years. “What has happened there could turn away kids if they want to play in a bowl game or if the scholarships are taken away and they are no longer among the elite. “There’s a lot at stake.” Well, one man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity, as the saying goes, and other schools could benefit from Ohio State’s dramatic fall. “Michigan, man,” said Doug Plank, a former Ohio State and NFL defensive back now working for NCSA, a recruiting firm that connects athletes and their families with schools. “They are back in the recruiting business in Ohio.” For 10 years, Tressel owned the state. He made it a priority to keep Ohio’s best playing in their backyard. However, his departure has created a huge opening for Hoke, the Wolverines’ first-year coach who laid the foundation for recruiting in his home state when he was a Michigan assistant and obviously sees it as a priority. Hoke has already landed several Ohio stars, and is making a hard push for Cincinnati Taft’s Adolphus Washington, a defensive end considered by many to be the biggest prize in the Buckeye state. “There’s no doubt he’s going after Ohio kids,” Strobel said, “and I think he’s going to be able to get a few.” Not long after Tressel stepped down, Kyle Kalis, a 6-foot-5, 305pound junior offensive lineman from St. Edward High outside Cleveland decided he was moving on, too. He called interim Ohio State coach Luke Fickell intent on telling him he was de-committing from the Buckeyes. Kalis, though, was persuaded to stay following a 45-minute conversation by Fickell, who may find himself having future talks with waffling recruits. Fickell’s not concerned about the torrents of negativity directed at the Buckeyes. He’s going to continue promoting his alma mater’s finest qualities. “It’s about something so much greater than just one situation, one player or one coach,” Fickell said during his introductory news conference this week. “We’ve recruited that for the last 10 years and we truly believe that Ohio State will continue to attract the best student-athletes around the country. We’re looking for a few good men and ones that can stand up and understand what Ohio State is all about.” During recent on-campus visits with recruits and their families, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald has noticed an increase in questions about the school’s values, discipline, accountability and internal expectations — all queries he believes are a direct result of Ohio State’s situation. The Buckeyes’ issues may allow the Wildcats to recruit players they otherwise would have passed up or had no chance of signing. “As a staff, we talked about kids that are interested in Ohio State that are high-academic kids (who) may now open up the recruiting a little bit more in the state of Ohio,” Fitzgerald said. “Maybe, (Ohio State) might lose a few battles with a school and a school fills up, then we might win a few battles because of just the numbers game. I think it’s way too early to tell, but I think you can at least hypothesize on what might happen.” Wanting kids is one thing, getting them is another. Just because Ohio State’s reputation has taken a pounding and more hard knocks could be coming, recruiting experts agree there will be a large group of players who will remain loyal to the scarlet and gray much the way Alabama-born players stuck by the Crimson Tide and California kids stayed true to USC during tumultuous times at those schools. “Ohio State has a huge stranglehold over the elite players in the state,” said Allen Wallace, publisher of SuperPrep Magazine. “Most of the kids who grew up in Ohio want to be a Buckeye, and 90 percent of those kids don’t care what’s going on right now down there. I don’t think they’re worried about what happens there in the future because it’s something that will go away — and it will. “A lot of those kids will look at it and say, ‘Ohio State needs me now more than ever.’ And Ohio State will be able to tell kids, ‘We really need you’.” It’s in out-of-state recruiting where things could change for Ohio State. Wallace believes Fickell and his staff will target only non-Ohio players whom they feel already like the school because of pre-existing ties through a family member or friend. Wallace said Ohio State can combat any backlash caused by the scandal by being more selective. In fact, Wallace feels Ohio State could emerge on the other side with few recruiting scars. It may take the NCAA several months to reveal its findings, time the Buckeyes can use to their advantage. “At this stage, it’s still Ohio State, a highly formidable recruiting power,” Wallace said. “They will still be able to load up with players.” So far, that’s the case. As he prepared to play in this week’s Big 33 Football Classic, an annual all-star game pitting Ohio’s top high school players against Pennsylvania’s elite, linebacker Ejuan Price from Woodland Hills (Pa.) High School said nothing has shaken his commitment to go to Ohio State. “I know what kind of people they are,” Price said. “Everybody makes mistakes. They’re still good people.” Sunday, June 19, 2011 Reaching a deal not a done deal NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL. Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They’ve been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks. Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks. Still, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, the faction of unhappy owners that exists isn’t yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners’ meeting specifically scheduled to deal with the lockout. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are not supposed to be made public, said a new CBA is not imminent. O w n e r s , Commissioner Roger Goodell and lead negotiator Jeff Pash have been silent about recent developments, citing an agreement with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan not to discuss mediated talks. Players association chief DeMaurice Smith and several players on hand for the negotiations also have avoided comment. Earlier this week, Goodell responded to a letter he and Smith received from two Congressmen calling for the NFL to adopt a “thorough testing program for HGH.” Goodell said in his reply dated June 13 that testing for HGH “is a critical element of an effective and credible drug testing program” and the league is insisting on “immediate implementation of HGH testing” in the negotiations. Whether or not such a provision makes it into the CBA, it’s clear that deadlines are approaching. Training camps normally would open in about five weeks, and any lengthy delays in striking a deal will endanger them and the preseason. The first pre- season game is at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions; the Bears and Rams are scheduled to play Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio. “I know that we’ve been talking pretty extensively over the last few weeks,” said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, one of 10 players on an antitrust suit brought against the league on March 11, hours before the lockout began. “It seems like things are moving in the right direction, which is very positive. It’s what we always hoped for as players because obviously we’re getting to crunch time here. We’re nearing July and there’s a lot of work that needs to be done (footballwise) between now and when the season will start, and obviously we’d love to have a settlement in place.” One item of contention likely is the minimum teams can spend on salaries each year and how it is determined, a key for small-market franchises such as Buffalo, Jacksonville and Cincinnati. Under rules of the previous CBA negotiated in 2006 — owners opted out in 2008 — teams were allowed to spread guaranteed signing bonuses over the duration of a contract. That reduced the salary cap hit each year. The Bills, however, preferred to count bonuses as dollars spent for each specific season no matter the contract’s length, so their payroll essentially was limited to all the salaries on their books for that one season — including potential bonuses and salaries owed to players that had been cut or bought out. Whether teams would have that kind of flexibility in the next CBA is important to the lowerrevenue franchises. Until now, the owners have appeared unified, from when they opted out to when they locked out. But as negotiations have ramped up, a faction of owners skeptical about the dynamics of a new deal has appeared. That will make next week’s owners’ meetings critical as July approaches.

(AP) — What some high school all-stars do after the Big 33 Football Classic might be just as interesting as what happens on the field Saturday in the annual meeting pitting some of Pennsylvania’s best players against a collection of top Ohio prospects. As is typically the case, a handful of allstars arrived at Hershey this week with commitments to attend Ohio State. But by midweek, something relatively unusual occurred when Pennsylvania linebacker Ejuan Price, of Woodland Hills, asked to be released from the letter of intent he signed in February with the Buckeyes. Ohio State has been reeling from a scandal that led to the resignation of coach Jim Tressel and the early departure of star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, a Pennsylvania native. It’s another story line to add to the relatively amicable prep rivalry between Pennsylvania and Ohio, two states that like to fancy themselves as influential high school football hubs. The series is tied at nine since Ohio became Pennsylvania’s Big 33 opponent in 1993 “It’s a natural rivalry. You have two states that are so very similar,” said Ohio coach Matt Dennison, of New Philadelphia. “If you look at states that care about high school football, Ohio and Pennsylvania care more about football in their (local) communities than any states in the country.” Among the more notable players who plan to suit up for Pennsylvania are two Penn State commits in defensive tackle Jordan Kerner of Fairview and massive 6-foot-9 Shawn Oakman, listed as an “athlete” on the roster. At practice earlier this week, Oakman was lined up at tight end, his athletic frame posing problems for opposing linemen. Oakman wasn’t shy about showing off where he was going to school, wearing a cutoff Penn State shirt over his training gear in the lunch room. With Oakman getting ready to report to Happy Valley later this month, Big 33 practice week was a good chance for him to get into better shape since the high school football season ended more than six months ago. “No matter how good a shape you’re in, you’re never in football shape,” said Oakman, who attended Pennwood High. “Since we’ve been away from it so long, your legs are sore, your arms are sore, everything is sore, so (it’s about) just getting back in motion.” His all-star teammate, Price, had said earlier in the week he was still planning to go to Ohio State before he apparently changed his mind on Thursday. As of Tuesday, another Ohio State recruit, Ohio defensive back Doran Grant of Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary hadn’t wavered. One of the state’s top prospects insisted he was keeping his commitment to the Buckeyes, reporting to Columbus on Sunday. “Not at all, the stuff that’s been going on is crazy because people are just trying to make it seem like Ohio State is just a bad place and that’s what Tressel was trying to do,” Grant said when asked if the scandal affected his perception of the school or recruiting. “But in reality he was only trying to protect his players and everything. ... We just have to stick together as a team.” Other Buckeyes commits on the Ohio allstar roster as of midweek included defensive lineman Chase Farris of Elyria and quarterback Cardale Jones of Cleveland Glenville. Jones plans to attend prep school this fall before enrolling at Ohio State in January. Jones, like other allstars, marveled about the experience in Hershey, which includes staying with volunteer “host families” and doing charity appearances. The Big 33’s slogan is “More Than a Game.” Saturday’s game will be about the 40th as either a spectator or coach for Pennsylvania head coach Tim Rimpfel of Cumberland Valley. Rimpfel thinks the week of preparation gives players an opportunity to gear up for their first college training camps. “For some, it’s a tough adjustment. They were the top dogs on their football teams,” Rimpfel said. “Now they’re facing competition here at practice and definitely on Saturday against some of the top talent in the country. It’s a wake-up call for some of these kids.” Notable NFL players who have played in the Big 33 include Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Joe Montana, along with recent stars including Orlando Pace, Marvin Harrison and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In one of those can’t-miss moments in sports, thousands of fans covered every inch of space on the hill behind the 10th green at Congressional. They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open. “It was Tiger Woods of 11 years ago,” Ian Poulter said. In some respects, it was even better. McIlroy, the sympathetic figure at the Masters, was as close to perfect as golf allows Friday during a stunning assault on the record book. The 22year-old from Northern Ireland became the first player in the 111-year history of the U.S. Open to reach 13-under par, and despite a double bogey into the water on the final hole, his 5under 66 was enough set the 36-hole scoring record at 131. He had a six-shot lead over former PGA champion Y.E. Yang (69), matching the U.S. Open record set by Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach for the largest margin at the halfway point. McIlroy went 17 holes without missing a green. He went 35 holes without making a bogey. “It’s very near the best I can play,” he said. Not since Woods destroyed his competition at Pebble Beach in 2000 for a record 15shot victory has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds. As if playing under complete control were not enough, McIlroy hit a wedge from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and into the cup for eagle. The only time he came close to making bogey was on the par-4 11th, when he blasted out of a bunker to 8 feet and made the putt. He tied the U.S. Open record of 12 under — previously held by Woods in 2000 and Gil Morgan in 1992, both at Pebble Beach — on the par-5 16th with a 4-iron from 223 yards that settled 8 feet from the cup. “I told him, ‘I don’t think you’ll see a better golf shot,’” his caddie, J.P. Fitzgerald, said. Then came the 17th, when McIlroy hit 7-iron from 175 yards that covered the flag, barely cleared the bunker and left him 15 feet below the hole for yet another birdie to go to 13 under. That number just isn’t seen on leaderboards at the U.S. Open. “It’s crazy, isn’t it?” Steve Stricker. “Pretty incredible what he’s done so far.” McIlroy knows better than to start the celebration before Sunday. He was buoyed by support coming into the U.S. Open because of the calamity at Augusta National from two months ago, when he led by four shots going into the final round of the Masters and shot 80, the kind of collapse that isn’t easily forgotten. “It’s been two very, very good days of golf,” McIlroy said. “I put myself in a great position going into the weekend. But I know more than probably anyone else what can happen. So I’ve got to stay really focused and try and finish this thing off.” The second round was halted for 42 minutes because of thunderstorms, and Yang held it together on the stronger back nine to at least stay in range. The South Korean is no stranger to big deficits in the majors. It was only two years ago, in the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine, that he trailed Woods by six shots going into the weekend and wound up winning by three. “I’m not going to chase anyone,” Yang said. “I’m just going to play my game.” Sergio Garcia had a 71 and joined Snedeker at 2-under 140 among those who finished the second round. Just his luck — and Garcia doesn’t have much of that in the majors — he is playing solid golf at a major where someone else is playing out of this world. Also at 140 were Matt Kuchar, Robert Garrigus and former Masters champion Zach Johnson. “It’s only two days,” Johnson said. “I’m not going to give it to him yet.” It was hard to ignore what felt like a coronation for McIlroy as he eased his way around the golf course. Toward the end of his round, the gallery in the grandstand gave him a standing ovation as the freckle-faced wonder boy with the bounce in his step simply walked onto the green. McIlroy played with four-time major winner Phil Mickelson, one of the biggest crowdpleasers in golf who simply was along for the ride. Mickelson, who also made double bogey on the 18th, shot a 69 to finish at 1-over 143. “He’s striking it flawlessly and putted great on the greens,” Mickelson said. “His first two rounds were very impressive.” During one stretch on the front nine, Mickelson made three birdies in four holes and didn’t make up any ground. McIlroy laid up from the rough on the par-5 sixth and hit wedge to 5 feet for birdie, then holed out for his eagle on the eighth. The burst of cheers when the ball dropped for eagle was enough to make the group ahead take notice as they stood on the ninth tee. There was Retief Goosen, hands on hips, looking over at the green. Stricker took one last look as he walked off the tee to confirm his suspicions on who hit the shot. Deep down, he knew it all along. “We figured it was probably him just the way he was going,” Stricker said. McIlroy wasn’t finished. From 190 yards, he hit a 6-iron to about 5 feet behind the hole at No. 14 for birdie, then finished with his backto-back birdies on the 16th and 17th to reach 13 under. Only four other players have reached 10 under or better at any point in a U.S. Open — Morgan, Woods, Jim Furyk at Olympia Fields in 2003 and Ricky Barnes at rainsoaked Bethpage Black in 2009. None of them got there after only two rounds, much less the 26 holes it took McIlroy. As for 13 under? “I didn’t see 13 under on this golf course after any day,” Snedeker said. McIlroy’s only mistake came on the last hole. From the left rough, McIlroy was aiming for the front right portion of the green away from the water. He turned it over just enough for the ball to bounce off the bank and into the water, and he failed to get up-anddown. He lost two shots, but not his perspective. This was golf at its absolute best, and the scoreboard showed it. Congressional was softened by overnight rain, which was obvious with the “splat” from balls landing on the green, instead of bouncing hard and into the rough as they so often do in this major. But the measure of great golf not always comes from the leader, but those chasing him. What made Woods’ record win at Pebble Beach so impressive is that he finished at 12under 272, and no one else was better than 3over par. Such was the case at Congressional. Among those who had finished 36 holes, only seven other players had managed to break par, and no one was within nine shots of McIlroy. “It’s been coming,” Poulter said. “It’s not a surprise to me, and I don’t think it’s a surprise to you. He’s that good.” In the last 14 rounds at the majors, McIlroy has been atop the leaderboard six times. He has been in the lead after every round except the one that matters. “I’ve played two really good rounds of golf, but I know I have to play another two really good rounds of golf if I want to win this tournament,” McIlroy said. “So that’s all I can really think about.” Chip and Seal Affordable and Durable Alternative to Asphalt Pavement 30% Less Call Today! 740-256-1985 Ask about our decorative stone driveways and sidewalks Meigs Wellness Center Excavation work includes: Driveways, Land Clearing, Ponds, Trenching, Reclamation, & Much More!

More on Zuspan later. Gallia Academy extended its girls scoring streak at state to at least 15 consecutive seasons after Peyton Adkins scored one point after placing eighth in the 3200m run at Jesse Owens Stadium. Jessica Hager also scored one point for River Valley for the second straight season after finishing eighth in the 300m hurdles. Gallia Academy also ended a threeyear scoring drought at state this spring after placing fourth in the 4x400m relay, which yielded five points for the quartet of Austin Wilson, Ethan Moore, Tyler Campbell and Jonathan Caldwell. The Eastern boys also had two athletes combined for 10 points at the state track meet. Point Pleasant junior Opie Lucas finished third individually at the Class AA golf championships this past fall, which is believed to be the best finish for a golfer at PPHS. Wahama freshman Kane Roush also placed sixth in the 140-pound weight class of the Class AA-A state wrestling meet, becoming the first double-digit scorer and podium finisher at a Class AA-A championship for Wahama since 2003. Point Pleasant wrestling sent 13 athletes to state (14 maximum) and had nine podium finishes (top-six) en route to capturing the program’s second straight Class AA-A title. Although you will here about this group again, the nine podium finishers were Zach Nibert, Rusty Maness, Donovan Powell, Casey Hogg, Noah Searls, Guy Fisher, Matt Cornell, Josh Hereford and Micah Powell. 6. BIRDS OF A DIFFERENT FEATHER. A pair of fours won’t go too far in the game of poker. For the Eastern boys track and field program, however, it was like possessing a royal flush. One year after the Eagles scored their first-ever points at Jesse Owens Stadium, the senior-junior duo of Kyle Connery and Tyler Cline raised the bar substantially for the boys program — as each contributed respective fourthplace efforts in the 400-meter dash and discus events to score a school-best 10 points at the Division III state meet. Connery, making his second consecutive state appearance, set a school and personal record in his 400m final with a time of 49.51 seconds. Cline, in his first state trip, captured fourth in the discus event with a heave of 154 feet, 10 inches. Each fourth-place finish at state is a school record for the track program, which yielded five points apiece for their efforts. That duo joined only Mike Johnson (2010) and Melissa Nutter (1986-1987) as the only podium winners from EHS. The Eagles — and their 10 points — tied them with Mineral Ridge, Sherwood Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Fairview and New Middleton Springfield for 23rd place in Division III, which is also the highest state finish in school history. The Lady Eagles also won their third league title in five years, becoming the first Hocking Division girls program since Waterford in 2006 to win the outright Tri-Valley Conference championship. Emeri Connery became just the third regional champion in Eastern history, joining only two-time high jump champion Mike Johnson in that elite club. EHS head track coach Josh Fogle has now sent 13 athletes to the state meet since his arrival in 2004. Eastern also has a regional champion in each of the last three postseasons. 5. SPARKLING DIAMONDS. If you are an aficionado of either baseball or softball at the high school level, then the OVP area was the place to be this spring ... when it wasn’t raining of course. The tri-county area — with 18 teams total — produced six league titles and nine sectional championships over a two-month span, which also included five regional appearances and a pair of regional finalists. For the first time in five years, the OVP area didn’t have a state qualifier — but it certainly wasn’t because of a lack of effort or talent. Two baseball programs — Southern and Point Pleasant — came within one win of advancing to the state, which is nothing new for either program. The Big Blacks (24-7) won the Cardinal Conference crown and posted a school-record for wins this year, despite not qualifying for the Class AA state tournament for the first time since the 2006 campaign. The Tornadoes (18-7), conversely, lost to Newark Catholic for the fifth consecutive postseason at the Division IV regional level, which includes the last two springs in the regional final. Wahama baseball went unbeaten in TVC Hocking play (16-0) and finished 27-6 overall before falling to Charleston Catholic in the Class A regional semis, while Eastern (12-10) surprisingly made won its first district championship in three years before being knocked off by Southern in the regional semis. Point Pleasant softball also competed in its sixth consecutive regional tournament this spring at the Class AA level. Obviously, those five programs came away with sectional titles ... but they weren’t the only programs to do so. Meigs baseball (17-3) — which won the TVC Ohio title — captured its first district appearance since the 2003 campaign, while the remaining trio of sectional crowns came on the softball side. Gallia Academy (22-2) won its second consecutive sectional title and went unbeaten in league play en route to capturing its third straight SEOAL crown, while Eastern (12-6) picked up its third straight sectional title in D-4 softball. South Gallia (13-7) posted a school-record for wins and also picked up the program’s first district appearance in D-4 softball as well. Gallia Academy baseball (17-5), like the GAHS softball team, christened its new field with a league title — a feat that the Meigs softball (11-6) program also pulled off this season. 4. WELCOME BACK. I wasn’t alive the last time the Point Pleasant boys basketball team accomplished what it did this winter. In fact, PPHS coach Richie Blain wasn’t even a teenager the last time the Big Blacks had this happen in hoops. For the first time since the 1974-75 campaign, Point Pleasant earned a spot at the boys Class AA state basketball tournament. The Big Blacks had waited 36 years to make a return trip to Charleston, but their journey was short-lived — as Scott defeated PPHS by a 57-38 margin in the Class AA quarterfinals. Still, regardless of the final outcome, it was a breakthrough season for the Big Blacks — who finished the 2010-11 camapign with a 1610 overall mark. PPHS became just the fourth squad in school history to reach the state tournament, joining the likes of the 1974-75, 1958-59 and 1925-26 teams that also accomplished that feat. Point Pleasant also made the third time a charm, as the Big Blacks were making their third consecutive regional appearance in as many seasons. But unlike the previous two years that saw PPHS go 0-2 in regional contests, the Big Blacks posted an impressive 66-41 triumph over Weir to advance themselves to the state level. Point Pleasant also knocked off Ravenswood in the sectional final by a 52-47 margin, allowing the Big Blacks to earn their first sectional crown since the 1995-96 season — their only other sectional title since the 1974-75 campaign. Ravenswood had defeated PPHS in the sectional final in each of the previous two postseasons. It was also the most wins for a Blain-led squad at Point Pleasant. For Blain, it was a particularly special accomplishment as he completed his 11th season as the frontman of the program. Not only in the fact that it had been so long since the Big Blacks had been to state, but also in the fact that boys basketball is not the most wellknown sport going at PPHS in the winter. Like the wrestling program, Point Pleasant boys basketball is looking to make a name for itself at the state level. Hopefully it won’t take another 36 years to do so. 3. TWO OUT OF THREE AIN’T BAD. The Eastern girls basketball program put together an historic season this past winter. So much so, in fact, that the journey led to a story that didn’t need to reach the state level to be big. But it almost did anyways. The Lady Eagles accumulated many program-bests during the 2010-11 season, which included a school record for wins after a 22-3 campaign. Eastern — which won a share of its first TVC Hocking title since 2001 — was one win away from the state tournament after appearing in its first-ever Division IV regional final, where it lost to eventualstate champion Harvest Prep by a 66-35 margin. The real magic, however, behind the Lady Eagles’ season came from three key matchups against six-time reigning TVC Hocking champion Waterford. EHS snapped the Lady ’Cats six-season, 48game winning streak in TVC Hocking play back on December 6 with a 57-55 win at the Eagles’ Nest, but Waterford avenged that setback with a 73-70 triumph on February 5 at WHS. Both teams went on to finish 15-1 in TVC Hocking play, which led to a share of the regular season crown between the squads. The all-important rubber match came on March 10 at Pickerington High School North, where the two teams hooked up in the Division IV regional semifinal. Waterford — making its sixth straight regional appearance — had lost only once to Eastern in its previous 15 head-to-head meetings. The third time, however, proved to be the charm for the Lady Eagles — who defeated Waterford by a 65-54 margin en route to making it to the Elite 8 for the first time in four attempts. It was also the first time that a TVC Hocking opponent had beaten WHS twice in the same season since 2004. The two Eastern seniors — Emeri Connery and Beverly Maxson — entered the 201011 campaign with an all-time record of 0-6 against Waterford, with those halfdozen losses coming by an average of 35.8 points. 2. WHITE FALCON FOOTBALL. The gridiron season started with Wahama’s first-ever TVC Hocking contest. The season ended with the White Falcons playing in their first-ever state final. And along the way, the firsts just kept adding up. Wahama took part in a magical ride through the fall of 2010, as the White Falcons set many numerous school records en route to playing in the OVP area’s first state championship game on the gridiron. The White Falcons started the 2010 campaign at Trimble, which had won 13 straight games against the TVC Hocking as the three-time defending champion. Wahama won 14-6, which ultimately decided the final outcome of the league title. Wahama went on to allow just 47 points over the next nine weeks, which included five shutouts, en route to a perfect 10-0 regular season and an undisputed TVC Hocking crown. Wahama then went on to win its first three playoff games by an average score of 41-17, which included a 73-38 beat- Sunday, June 19, 2011 ing of East Hardy in the quarterfinals — a West Virginia Class A record for points scored by both teams (111) and most points scored by a winning team (73). But despite outscoring opponents by a 585-141 margin on the season, posting six shutouts and a school-best 13 wins, the White Falcons ultimately came up short in their quest for a final first after dropping a 28-14 decision to Wheeling Central Catholic in the Class A championship game at Wheeling Island Stadium. Even in defeat, however, Wahama managed to gain one more piece of history that escaped most people. The White Falcons also became the first TVC Hocking member to ever play for a state title as a team. 1. STATE CHAMPIONS. In this business, there is no better story than that of a state champion. And since the competition cannot beat a state champion, neither can another story. Rather it be an individual title or a team crown, the thrill of being a state champion only comes to a handful of people in high school. And regardless of the sport, they are all equally important. There were four state championships won in the Ohio Valley Publishing area this school year, all which came from Mason County in West Virginia. Point Pleasant won a team and an individual state championship this calendar year, while Wahama made history as one athlete won a pair of titles all by herself. The Point Pleasant wrestling team ran away with its second consecutive Class AA-A team trophy this past winter, setting school records for both total points (181) and largest margin of victory (49 points) en route to nine podium finishes (top-six) at the annual threeday event. Rusty Maness, Casey Hogg, Micah Powell, Donovan Powell, Guy Fisher, Steven Porter, Noah Searls, Zach Nibert, Josh Hereford, Matt Cornell, Josh Hudson, Austin McBeath and Jerrod Long were the 13 PPHS qualifiers at the state meet. Maness, a senior, also capped a perfect career with the Big Blacks, becoming the only PPHS grappler to win four consecutive state titles after repeating in the 130pound weight class. Maness also became one of only 12 wrestlers to win four state championships in West Virginia prep competition. Sophomore Kelsey Zuspan increased Wahama’s state championship total from two to four in the span of two hours this spring, as Zuspan came away from the Class A state track and field meet with gold medals in both the 100m and 200m dashes. Zuspan, the first WHS female to win a state title, scored 24 points overall to net the Lady Falcons seventh at state. Zuspan also joined the 1996 and 1998 baseball teams with state crowns. �C1 ALONG THE RIVER Sunday, June 19, 2011 �Sunday, June 19, 2011 Right at Home: gifts for the modern dad UNDATED (AP) — Pipe and slippers? Today’s dad is more likely to be trail biking with the kids, downloading sports apps or jamming with his own weekend band. So this Father’s Day, consider giving him something that honors his creative, fun-loving and adventurous spirit. Cloud 9 Living is an “experience gift” company; they’ll organize a day’s adventure that’s sure to get the adrenaline pumping. Bungee jumping in Azusa, Calif.; caving in Marengo, Ind.; bike touring in Chicago; and bull riding in Denver or Houston are just a few of the offerings. There are tamer pursuits too, such as an hour with a golf pro or an archery lesson, but there are sure to be dads who’d relish the thought of a private ninja lesson or a ride on a stock-car track. Music lovers might appreciate a couple of hours with a real DJ learning how to spin vinyl. There are food, wine and brew tours as well. Cloud 9 offers experiences in or near many major cities. You can select a day’s adventure, or get Dad a gift certificate and leave the choosing to him. He has a year to use it — plenty of time to screw up his courage, if necessary. If Dad’s a “stuff” lover when it comes to gifts, there are several cooland-unusual items to consider. Restoration Hardware’s Aviator collection was envisioned by Chairman and Co-CEO Gary Friedman, who was fascinated by designs from the “Golden Age” of aviation. He wanted to reinterpret the sleek lines of those built-for-speed designs for a modern market. The Devon Spitfire chair is a swashbuckling swoop of stainless steel, aluminum and leather. Evoking a WWII airplane seat, it would be a neat homeoffice chair for the family’s paternal Snoopy. Gelaskins has interesting covers for the art lover’s iPad, including artist Philip Straub’s lush, fantastic landscape and architecture images, and former Marvel Comics artist Frank Miller’s art from “Sin City” and “300.” Is Dad a baseball nut, but already has every cap or jersey? Uncommon Goods has limited-edition pens crafted of wood from the old stadium seats of 15 famous ballparks, such as Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium. For a numbers guy, consider the very cool Geek Watch, with math formulas marking each hour; he’ll have to hide it from his hipster kids. Film buffs will love the Future Fossil concrete casts of 35mm and 16mm cameras, at HenryRoad. And for music aficionados, Los Angeles studio Bughouse has designed photoprinted vinyl-album stack shelves as wall art. They’re grouped by genre, so you can buy a panel of vintage rock or great jazz albums or ‘80s tunes. If Dad’s all about his MP3 player, check out iFrogz’s customizable headphones and ear buds. Choose colors and finishes for a personal sound accessory he’ll really dig. At MusicSkins, find art for most handheld electronic devices from TV series such as The Wire, and musicians such as John Lennon, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash and The Who. Or you can customize your own skin — maybe with dad’s garage band logo. From whittling to knitting, how modern men craft UNDATED (AP) — Crafts for men have come a long way since the days when “Popular Mechanics” advised returning World War II soldiers in the rustic arts of whittling and leather tooling. A compendium from the magazine’s postwar archives, “Man Crafts” (Hearst Books, 2009), celebrates male-geared hobbies of yesteryear. It reads like last year’s cheeky book by Amy Sedaris, “Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People” (Grand Central Publishing). “It’s meant more as an amusement and a fond look back, more than anything else,” says Jacqueline Deval, a Hearst Books vice president, although the instructions in “Man Crafts” are legitimate. The book throws into contrast how different things are today. Some of its nostalgic hobbies remain popular among women and men, although there might no longer be a market for tin-can candle holders and tin serving trays. But a quick glance at Etsy.com, an online avenue where people sell handmade goods and old-timey collectibles, also turns up men making soap, glass works and knitwear. Men designing T-shirts and other clothing. Men creating electrical gadgets and making art journals. And men brewing beer. According to the American Homebrewers Association, based in Boulder, Colo., nearly 750,000 people brew beer at home at least once a year in the United States. One of them is Mitch Larsen, of Lincoln, Neb., who likes the challenge of crafting a great-tasting beer. “It’s science-y,” says Larsen, 41. “There’s a lot that goes into making good beer. You can make beer with a kit at the store, but it’s not going to be good beer.” Good beer, according to Larsen, requires reading and research, talking with other home brewers, lots of taste testing and making unfortunate mistakes. “It’s a creative outlet for me because I formu- late my own recipes,” says Larsen. Joshua Zimmerman’s creative outlet is tinkering with small electrical projects. The 28-yearold, fourth-grade teacher in Milwaukee makes Altoid tin USB chargers and flashlights, and small robots from toothbrush heads and solar battery chargers. His creations usually can be made with a few bucks and a few parts, often from recycling old electronics. “I spend way too much time on researching this stuff for my own amusement,” Zimmerman says. He simplifies ideas he finds online, assembles them in kits, and sells them from his online shop, Brown Dog Gadgets, and at Etsy. He also posts the instructions for all of his projects, most of which take under an hour for a novice and require a little metal soldering. Many of the men who sell handmade wares on Etsy gravitate to the site’s “geekery” category, which includes practical jokes and quirky crafts, says Emily Bidwell, who works in merchandising for the online site, based in Brooklyn, N.Y. A recent perusal found more than 72,000 “geekery” items for sale, including “zombie Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C2 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Design Intervention BY CARLA WAMSLEY Last weekend I attended the Parade of Homes in the Columbus area. It happened to be a beautiful day, and it was an easy stroll through the neighborhood, visiting the eleven different homes that were on display. If you have never been to one of these events, I recommend going because it can be quite inspirational. You will see every aspect of design from the inside to the outside. Tile, countertops, flooring, siding, shutters, appliances, patios, decks, furniture, paint colors, window treatments and landscaping, just to name a few. As a matter of fact, if you are building a home, remodeling, or just thinking of redecorating, it would definitely be a worthwhile trip. In case you don’t get the opportunity to attend such an event, I will give you a brief rundown of what I thought were some of the more memorable elements of style. One very interesting area for us (my husband attended with me), was the outdoor living spaces. We happen to be working on that particular area of our home right now, so we were intrigued by what we saw in those areas of each home. Multilevel decks and patios created some wonderful expanded living spaces which included outdoor kitchens, gas log Carla Wamsley fireplaces, and comfortable furniture. Color was just as important outside as it was inside, which was evident in the beautiful outdoor friendly fabrics on the furniture as well as the bursts of color in the container gardens. Walkout basements were also part of these multilevel outdoor spaces that created even more flow from the inside out. Another very interesting concept was the upstairs family room area. This wasn’t always in the form of a bonus room either. These areas were sometimes centrally located outside of the second floor bedrooms as a gathering place to watch television, play games or do homework. The master suite generally had an extremely large shower with spa-like features and a closet the size of a small bedroom with cubbies for dozens of pairs of shoes (be still, my heart…). There were “his and hers” everything… sinks, closets, and shower heads. There were mudrooms, organized with hooks and bins and drawers. Wine cellars and wine coolers and built-in wine racks were prevalent. The pantry areas were situated so that they could be easily “shopped”. Storage and organization was the name of the game. These homes were destined to be clutter free! The garage floors gleamed with coatings and finishes that seemed too nice to consider parking a car on. They, of course, assured us that it is perfectly acceptable; after all, it IS a garage! However it does give you the feeling that these garages will never see leftover garage sale junk, bicycles with flat tires, or even a dirty car. I could go on about the yards and yards of beautiful fabrics that hung from the ceiling to floor windows or the very interesting “reclaimed barnwood” on the floors and furniture, or the beautiful glass tiles on the kitchen backsplash and bathroom walls, but this column just cannot go on forever. Besides, I don’t want to spoil it for you, in case you decide to go!

You may contact Carla by visiting www.sittingprettydesigns.net. gnomes” and a “Tera Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator” ray gun (both made by men). Men’s crafts often fall into that comical, playful category, says Bidwell, or can be more traditional and serious: metal, wood, leather, ceramics, glass. And while men may share the same crafts as women, they often put a male spin on it, Bidwell says. For example, men are more likely to make leather and canvas courier bags, bicycle accessories and luggage. “It’s not like a pretty purse for a lady,” Bidwell says. “They’re making things that they want for themselves.” That explains the artwork of both Brian Kasstle, 50, and Joe Bagley, 26. Kasstle, of Long Beach, Calif., dabbled in scrapbooking and cardmaking before he hit upon art journaling, using mostly collage, painting and image transfers. Each page tells a story about his life, family or feelings, and he shares much of this at Brian Kasstle’s Blog. “I notice when I don’t (journal), I get cranky,” says Kasstle. “It’s just opened the world of art to me. I love it as a form of expression.” Keeping Meigs & Gallia informed Sunday Times-Sentinel Silver Bridge Plaza 740.446.3484 M-F 10-6 • Sat 10-2 Meigs • 992-2155 Gallia • 446-2342 �Sunday, June 19, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Extension Corner BY HAL KNEEN Are your trees and shrubs needing to be pruned? June is a great month to prune many plants in your landscape. The lush spring growth has slowed down and there is time for plants to heal from the pruning wounds. Evergreen shrubs such as yew (Taxus), false cypress (Chaemaecyperus) and juniper (Juniperus) may be trimmed back. More formal pruning can be done with hedge shearers or get a more natural appearance by pruning with hand shearers. Hand shearers take a lot longer but the plant will look less boxy in final appearance. Evergreen trees like pines (Pinus) and spruce (Picea) may be pruned now so that new buds will form on the remaining growth for next year’s growth. Remove up to two thirds of this year’s growth. Don’t prune back to last year’s growth or the tree will look bare when it loses it’s two and three year old needles this fall season. Prune out any double leaders. Flowering trees such as weeping cherries, magnolias, crabapples and hawthorns can be pruned to allow more sunlight into the interior of the plant and to limit their overall size. Prune off any crossing branches and upright sucker growth. Don’t cut off more than one quarter of the leaves in one year. If more pruning is needed, prune again next June. If Hal Kneen you pruned back your spring flowering shrubs, now is a great time to prune the arising shoots to force side shoots. Cut off about one third of the new growth. If you are looking for a great resource for learning how to prune buy a copy of: “ Pruning and Training: A Fully Illustrated Plant by Plant Manual” published by the American Horticultural Society. *** It is not too late to plant annuals and perennials in the landscape. The pansies look sad in the yard due to the hot temperatures so pull them out and replant petunias, marigolds or vincas in sunny areas or impatiens, begonias, and coleus in shady areas. Continue to “dead- head” (removal of dead blooms) off both annuals and perennials to allow the plant to put more of its energy into new growth. Rose bushes need another dose of fertilizer to continue their summer blooming if they are an everblooming type (i.e Carefree, hybrid teas, grandiflora or floribunda). Hanging baskets do need to be fertilized on a weekly basis due to the leaching out of nutrients from their containers. Enjoy the flowering baskets in the downtown areas, they do brighten up the streets. *** Take a ride through the country you will be surprised as to how fast the vegetable and field crop fields have responded to the hot weather since Memorial Day. Tomatoes, peppers and sweet corn are growing and so are the insects. Any silking sweet corn needs to be sprayed with insecticides on a regular basis for both the European corn borer and the corn earworm, as both moths are present in southern Ohio. Meigs County is part of a five state study for the expansion of a new pest, the Brown Marmorated Stinkbug into the Midwest. Several hundred stinkbugs were found in Middleport, Ironton and Portsmouth last fall. This new stinkbug feeds on peaches, sweet corn, lima beans, and several other vegetables and fruits.

Feds plan biomass projects in Ohio TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Agriculture Department will begin signing up farmers in four states this summer who are willing to grow a hybrid grass that can be converted into heat and electricity. Growing and processing the grass into energy has the potential to create 4,000 jobs in Ohio, Arkansas and Missouri, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said Wednesday. The government will spend $20 million over the next few years paying farmers in those three states and in three Pennsylvania counties near Ohio to grow the bamboo-like grass that can grow up to 13 feet high. It’s money well spent, Vilsack said, because the projects will create jobs, reduce dependency on foreign oil and allow farmers to use land that isn’t as suitable to growing corn and soybeans. “We’ve got to encourage people to take the risk,” he said. Agriculture officials are planning to spend $5.7 million this year to enroll farmers in seven counties in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Clevelandbased Aloterra Energy will operate a biomass plant in northeast Ohio near Ashtabula to process the grass into small pellets that can be burned at power plants. Two more projects are going to central and southwest Missouri. Farmers in those areas will feed into biomass conversion plants in Columbia and Aurora. MFA Oil Biomass LLC will operate both. Another project in northwest Arkansas will include farmers in seven counties and a biomass plant in Paragould, which also will be operated by MFA Oil Biomass. Estimates released by the Agriculture Department say the pro- Visit us online at mydailytribune.com and mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news jects could create 1,200 jobs in Ohio, a combined 1,900 jobs in Missouri and 750 jobs in Arkansas. Those include agriculture, bio-refinery and support jobs. The government will pay farmers 75 percent of the startup costs to begin planting the grass and then make annual payments in the following years, Vilsack said. “There are a lot of good reasons to do this,” said U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, who joined Vilsack in announcing the projects. The Farm Service Agency will oversee the program. Farmers can begin signing up next Monday. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C3 Ohio farmers rush to plant crops after wet spring COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio corn and soybean farmers whose planting was delayed by the cold, wet spring are scrambling to avoid smaller harvests and heavy losses later this year. Even with recent warmer, drier weather allowing farmers to get into fields that had been turned into swamps, planting is still far behind average, and “the economic impact continues to grow daily,” said Barry Ward, an assistant professor and an official with Ohio State University Extension. May’s heavy rains could cause nearly $1 billion in losses for the state’s corn and soybean farmers, Ward told The Columbus Dispatch. Estimated losses could reach $720 million for corn growers and about $260 million for those growing soybeans, he said. This spring was the wettest on record for the Cincinnati area in southwest Ohio, which got soaked with 24.78 inches of rain in March, April and May. Columbus and Dayton each had their third-rainiest spring on record, according to the National Weather Service office in Wilmington. As of last Sunday, U.S. Department of Agriculture data showed corn growers were still far behind the average year, with only 58 percent of the crop planted, and soybeans were at 26 Phosphorous concern TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A third of Ohio's farmland is loaded with too much phosphorus that comes from farm fertilizers and livestock manure and is known to feed algae. Ohio State University researchers tested a million soil samples from across the state and found that most of the samples tested over time showed the amount of phosphorus was actually being reduced. Farmers should begin by reducing how much fertilizer they use in the fall and eliminate use in winter when the ground is frozen, he said. "Phosphorus reduction is the best strategy," he said. "We think you'll see an almost immediate improvement." percent, The Lima News reported. The five-year average for corn planted by this time is 99 percent, and the five-year average for soybeans planted is 62 percent. Butch Schappacher, a farmer in southwest Ohio’s Warren County, usually has most of his crops planted by this time but says record high rains in April and May put him far behind. “We’re all at the mercy of the weather,” Schappacher told the Middletown Journal. Schappacher, who grows field corn, sweet corn, soybeans and pumpkin, said threefourths of his sweet corn needs to be in the ground now, but he only has been able to plant a quarter of that crop. Heavy rains prevented farmers across the country from planting about 1.5 million acres of corn, and the delayed planting schedules are likely to diminish crops by harvest time in September — keeping U.S. food prices high through next year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has said. Soybean supplies aren’t as tight, the agency said. Farmer Fred Yoder of Plain City, near Columbus in central Ohio, is more optimistic about planting prospects and thinks the break in the weather and high crop prices will provide a boost for the season. “Conditions today are ideal for getting crops started, and I think we’ll catch up to near normal if we get adequate rains throughout the summer,” Yoder told the Dispatch. Dwayne Siekman, CEO of the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association said the right growing conditions could help limit losses this fall. Farmers would need to have optimal conditions through the rest of June, July and August, he said. But Schappacher expects to file a claim with his crop insurance company at some point. “If it rains, people with regular jobs still get to work,” he said. “If it continues to rain for me, I don’t get paid.” Livestock Report GALLIPOLIS — United Producers Inc. livestock report of sales from June 15, 2011.
