Adjacent property owners must now connect to new Mercerville Sewer County Commission purchases Davis Hall lot Future use of site uncertain BY AMBER GILLENWATER BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM MERCERVILLE — Property owners in Mercerville may now connect to the newly installed Mercerville Sanitary Sewer Project, according to Gallia County Administrator Karen Sprague. Notification letters were mailed out on Wednesday to the approximately 44 entities that are required to connect to the sewer. Property owners will have 90 days from the notification date to connect — from June 22 until September 20. According to information provided by Sprague, the overall construction of the project is not complete; however, operational acceptance from the contractor has been given, and “final acceptance” will occur later when additional aspects of the contractor’s work, including ditch re-grading, reclamation, re-seeding, pavement replacement and repairs are accepted. Due to grant funding, no tap fees will be incurred for sewer customers; however, all service lines will be have to installed at the homeowners’ expense and all construction work is required to be performed by a licensed sewer contractor with the GALLIPOLIS — During a special meeting of the Gallipolis City Commission held on June 21, the commission passed an emergency ordinance accepting and awarding a bid for the purchase of the Davis Hall property.

The structure, which was utilized as a dormitory for students of the Holzer School of Nursing until 1981, was brought down in September 2010. The building was purchased by the city in 1999 with a loan of $350,000 for both the purchase and renovation of the facility. Initially, the structure was going to be refurbished for the use of the Gallipolis administrative offices and municipal court; however, due to the expense of the proposed project and recent changes to building requirements, the project was never completed and the building was demolished. The lot was subsequently advertised for sale at a minimum bid of $200,000. The measure passed unanimously by the city commission on June 21 was an emergency ordinance “accepting and rejecting bids for real property known as ... Davis Hall property and awarding the bid for the sale of said property to the Board of Gallia County Commissioners.” “We put the Davis Hall property up for sale on sealed bids.

The 3rd Annual Everyday Heroes Awards Breakfast, co-sponsored by the Gallia County Red Cross and the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, honored 10 individuals and one couple for their dedication to and investment in the people of Gallia County. Award recipients included: Dorothy Casey, Heritage Hero; Howard Waugh, Military Hero; Monsignor Myers, Samaritan Hero; the county, and we just now passed an ordinance that will accept that bid and they, whenever it goes to closing, they will then own the Davis Hall property,” City Commission President Jim Cozza stated during the meeting. “The ordinance that we put it up for sale with said minimum bid of $200,000 ... $206,050 was their bid; examining all their options before determining how that representation will be funded. The new contract with the Ohio Public Defender — for the first time — does not include provision of counsel in Common Pleas Court. That, according to Herman Carson of the OPD’s Athens office, is because no attorney is willing to commit to working in the felony court. Commissioners have other options, and Bartrum said Friday they will get down to business next week, after all three are back to work from out of town meetings and other obligations, in order to consider how they will fulfill their obligation to provide court-appointed attorneys to accused felons unable to afford legal counsel — which is most of them, according to Carson.

FREE & TAX DELIVERY SALE �Page A4 OPINION Sunday, June 26, 2011 Layoffs, housing data Come Home, America! point to chronic problems (and build windmills!) BY DEREK KRAVITZ & MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP BUSINESS WRITERS WASHINGTON — Sour reports Thursday on the number of people who sought unemployment benefits and buyers of new homes illustrate what Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged Wednesday: Many factors weighing on the economy are proving to be more chronic than first imagined. The poor housing and employment data contributed to a bleak day of economic news. The European Central Bank chief also renewed warnings about Europe’s debt crisis and stocks tumbled. And 28 countries agreed to boost global oil supplies. Ultimately, that will provide some relief to consumers who have been paying higher gas prices since January. But it also forced energy stocks lower, contributing to the sell-off on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 166 points in afternoon trading. “We have had a worrisome string of soft numbers which is painting a fairly bleak picture of the recovery,” said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. “The labor market is weakening according to the jobless claims numbers, confidence appears to be slipping among households and small businesses and home sales are still very depressed.” Applications for unemployment benefits rose last week by the most in a month, a sign that layoffs remain elevated. Applications jumped by 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 429,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the second increase in three weeks and the 11th straight week that applications have been above 400,000. New-home sales fell in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 319,000, the Commerce Department said. That’s far below the 700,000 homes per year that economists say must be sold to sustain a healthy housing market. Housing remains the weakest part of the U.S. economy, analysts say. Sales of new homes have fallen 18 percent in the two years since the recession ended. Last year was the worst for new-home sales on records dating back half a century. Analysts said the reports served to highlight the Fed’s decision this week to cut its economic outlook for growth and employment this year. It also supports worries expressed by Bernanke that many of the economy’s troubles could last into next year. Applications fell as low as 375,000 in February, a level that signals sustainable job growth. But applications surged in April to an eight-month high of 478,000 and have shown only modest improvement since that time. The four-week average for unemployment benefit applications, a less volatile measure, was unchanged last week at 426,250. The economy needs to generate at least 125,000 jobs per month just to keep up with population growth. And at least twice that many jobs are needed to bring down the unemployment rate, which rose to 9.1 percent in May. Companies pulled back on hiring in the spring in the face of higher gas and food prices. That has cut into consumer spending on other discretionary items, such as furniture and appliances, which help boost economic growth. Employers added only 54,000 net new jobs in May, much slower than the average gain of 220,000 per month in the previous three months. “We need initial claims to fall back below 400,000 to signal stronger economic growth than the area we seem to be mired in,” said analysts John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros at RDQ. Though new homes represent only about 20 percent of the overall home market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each new home creates an average of three jobs and $90,000 in taxes, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Larger down payment requirements, tougher lending standards and high unemployment are preventing people from buying homes. Many people who can afford to buy are holding off, worried that prices have yet to bottom out. Fed officials said in a statement that they think the main causes of the economy’s slowdown, such as high gas prices and supply disruptions from Japan’s disasters, are temporary. Once those problems subside, Fed officials said the economy should rebound. But at a news conference after the statement was released, Bernanke acknowledged that some of the problems slowing the economy could persist into next year. He cited continued weakness in the financial sector and persistent problems in the housing market. US and others plan biggest release of reserve oil BY CHRIS KAHN & JONATHAN FAHEY AP ENERGY WRITERS NEW YORK — The United States and other nations that depend on oil imports will release and sell 60 million barrels of crude from emergency stocks in an effort to ease the strain of high oil prices on the global economy. The release by the International Energy Agency, a group of more than two dozen countries, covers only what the world uses roughly every 16 hours. But it was enough to send oil prices lower, at least for the moment. In addition to helping the struggling economies of the U.S. and Europe, analysts said the move was meant as a rebuke to OPEC, which has refused to increase oil production to bring down prices. It will be the largest sale of crude ever from world strategic reserves and only the third since the IEA was formed in 1974 after the Arab oil embargo. The IEA released oil in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina and in 1990 and 1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Half the oil will come from reserves in the U.S. Refiners who turn crude into gasoline will be able to bid on the extra oil and have it shipped to them from the salt caverns along the Gulf Coast where it is stored. The IEA said high oil demand and shortfalls of oil production caused by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa threatened to “undermine the fragile global economic recovery.” The uprising in Libya has taken 1.5 million barrels of oil per day off of the market — half a million barrels less than will be released each day by the IEA for 30 days. The price of oil rose to nearly $114 per barrel in at the end of April, the highest since the summer of 2008, has fallen 20 percent since then to about $91 a barrel on Thursday. Analysts questioned how much relief the move would provide the economy, and for how long. One analyst, Andrew Lipow, said the timing of the announcement, a day after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered a negative outlook on the economy, suggests that industrialized countries are grasping for solutions. He said Americans should expect the price of gasoline to fall, but not dramatically, in coming weeks. “Fifteen or 20 cents a gallon of relief is not enough to make people feel good about their job prospects or losses on the stock market or our general economic slowdown,” he said. The IEA and the White House said they were acting to increase the supply of oil available during the peak summer driving season. “We are taking this action in response to the ongoing loss of crude oil due to supply disruptions in Libya and other countries and their impact on the global economic recovery,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said. BY RICH LOWRY As commander in chief, Barack Obama doesn’t just blow an uncertain trumpet -- he barely blows a trumpet at all. Judging from his speeches, America gets into wars solely so it can “end them responsibly.” Gen. Douglas MacArthur was wrong. There is a substitute for victory. It’s “ending wars responsibly.” In his Afghanistan drawdown speech, President Obama struck his version of a Churchillian note when he warned, “This is the beginning -- but not the end -of our effort to wind down this war.” A cruder, more simplistic president from a bygone era might have couched the war in terms of our effort to win. For Obama, the paramount goal is ending, not winning. But ending “responsibly” -- which in the case of Afghanistan may mean ending with enough of an interval of relative stability that our exit doesn’t seem an obvious defeat. Obama’s anti-war supporters trotted out the old chestnut from the late Sen. George Aiken during Vietnam and advised that in Afghanistan he should “declare victory and get out.” As it happens, their counsel was much too hawkish: Obama would never allow himself to declare victory, even insincerely and opportunistically. There’s a chance our military can stretch and improvise to keep the enemy at bay even as 10,000 troops come out by the end of the year and the 20,000 remaining surge troops leave by next summer. But Obama has put the gains won at the cost of their blood, sweat and tears at greater Rich Lowry risk for no reason other than his own ambiguity about their mission. Say this for the president: He has remained true to the spirit of his deeply conflicted 2009 speech announcing the Afghan surge. In it, our fearlessly ambivalent commander in chief portrayed the surge as a temporary detour on the way to “a responsible transition of our forces out of Afghanistan.” He told West Point cadets in that speech that “America will have to show our strength in the way we end wars and prevent conflict -- not just how we wage wars.” Of course, ending wars is only superficially in our power. We are now on a faster path to ending our part in the Afghan War, but the Taliban, the Haqqani network, alQaida and other extremists have no intention of ending theirs. They lack the sophistication to realize that winning is “out” and ending is “in.” These groups also lack keen re-election-minded political advisers. The end of the surge will -predictably -- come right before the November 2012 elections. Obama isn’t even willing to see through the entire 2012 fighting season, which stretches into the fall, but wants all the surge forces out by the summer. No military strategist would ever endorse that timetable. Gen. Axelrod trumps Gen. Petraeus. Chairman Plouffe outranks Chairman Mullen. The point Obama’s speech built toward was his insipid exhortation, “America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home.” This sentiment -- as cliched as it is jejune -- represents Obama’s deepest strategic impulse. It’s George McGovern’s call to “come home, America,” wedded to subsidies for windmills and electric cars. It is shot through with declinism about our role in the world and fantastical beliefs about the powers of industrial policy at home. Obama cited the cost of the war and the need to “live within our means.” Only when it comes to the Afghan War is the president interested in fiscal retrenchment. Whatever the incremental savings of a swifter drawdown of the surge than our military commanders recommend, it will be a blip compared with our $1.4 trillion annual deficit. The path to national solvency does not run through the Hindu Kush. There’s no denying that the Afghan War has been long, frustrating and costly in blood and treasure. Ending it without success, though, will leave a dangerous caldron of disorder in the region. America can always come home; she can never again be sure her enemies won’t follow.

Hoyt and Lareva Mullins owned and operated the Lafayette Mall and raised their two sons Vic and James here. Due to the failing economy and Hoyt’s failing health they closed their business and retired in 2003. While here they were pillars of our community being involved in the Grace United Methodist Church, the Rotary Club, the Philomathean Literary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and many other civic endeavors. The South Central Ohio Preservation (SCOPS) awarded them a Certificate of Recognition for the outstanding community betterment involving restoration and preservation in the early 1970’s when they purchased the Lafayette Hotel and turned it into The Lafayette Mall, which included Bernadine’s Dress Shop, which they already owned and had purchased in the 1960’s from the estate of Paul Jarvis, My Sister’s Closet, the Bastille and the Alcove. The Mullins’ came here from Lesage, W.Va. in 1958 when he was associated with Evans Grocery Company. Evans sold out to Thorofare and Thorofare opened their store Pennyfare, which was located at Third and Court Street. It went into bankruptcy in 1982. Reva and Hoyt are now living in their lovely apartment at the Masonic Home complex in Springfield, Ohio, in the independent living area to be near family. Since arriving, however, Hoyt had the misfortune to fall and break a hip and a shoulder, so he is in the Critical Care Unit and is receiving physical therapy and is doing well. I wanted everyone to know what wonderful people we had for those many years who served our community so well that we owe them an Award of Appreciation for their service. Sincerely, Mary Beth Cherrington P.S. I am sure they would love hearing from you.

Local Briefs Band practice begins POMEROY – Meigs Marauder Band practice will begin Monday, June 27, at Meigs High School. Practice will be held frm 9 a.m. to noon as the band prepares to participate in July 4 celebrations. After that it will be another week before band camp begins. Anyone with questions can contact Toney Dingess, director, at 740-591-2260. ʻPartyʼ parade entries RACINE —Organizers of Racine’s Annual Party in the Park are searching for parade participants. Lineup for the parade is at 10 a.m. and step off is at 11 a.m. on Sept. 10 in Racine. Organizers have already sent letters out to 15 marching bands and hope to make the parade the largest yet. Call Jordan Pickens for more information at 416-9667. Participation in the parade is free. Museum has fundraiser project POMEROY – The Meigs County Museum is working with the Pomeroy Pizza Hut in a project to raise money for operational expenses. On July 1 from 10:30 a.m. until closing, 20 percent of proceeds from purchases will be donated to the museum if the purchaser has a qualifying coupon. The coupons can be picked up at the Museum. Road closed precincts each. In Middleport, the three precincts include 506, 563 and 530 registered voters; in Pomeroy, the three precincts include 342, 515 and 301 registered voters. Though this provision, if passed, would obviously affect precincts in Meigs, just how it would affect them remains to be seen, just as a vote in the Ohio House and signature by Kasich remains. HB 194 also moves the 2012 presidential primary from March to May in Ohio and prohibits counties from mailing absentee ballots which are unsolicited - many smaller counties which cannot afford this practice will save money while larger ones argue it will result in longer lines at the polls on election day. Poll workers will also not be required to help voters find their correct precincts. Another bill which requires voters present a photo ID before casting a ballot may be introduced into the Ohio Senate next week, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Johnston said right now, voters are required to present some form of identification before casting ballots. The Ohio Secretary of State’s Office currently says the following forms of identification are accepted: • For early in-person and absentee voting, voters can present any of the following - the last four digits of voter’s Social Security number; or driver's license number; or a copy of a current and valid photo identification, (i.e. Ohio driver’s license, state ID card, government ID, the photo identification must show name and address); or a copy of a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and current address (including from a public college or university). • On election day voting, the following identifications are accepted: a current and valid photo identification (i.e. Ohio driver’s license, state ID card, government ID, photo identification must show name and address and does not need to be current address for driver’s license or state id card); or a military identification (does not need to show name or address); or a copy of a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and current address (including from a public college or university). Defender From Page A1 In Gallia County, a non-profit organization contracts with the county to provide those services. Other counties pay attorneys by the case, once a request is approved by the presiding judge. Bartrum said commissioners’ have more options than they might have first thought, in that the state legislature is expected to approve a budget that will guarantee Local Government Fund revenue to counties receiving $750,000 in such funding last year. Those funds were threatened under earlier proposals, and then it appeared they would be guaranteed only to counties receiving $500,000. In the meantime, the county will pay court-appointed attorneys in Common Pleas Court on a case-bycase basis, as they are needed, Bartrum said. Heroes From Page A1 Roy Jones, Fire Hero; Dorothy Smith, Senior Hero; Beverly Smith, Blood Service Hero; and Tom and Heidi Blodgett, Youth Heroes. Recipients received engraved plaques, which were sponsored by area businesses. In addition, the Red Cross presented the ‘Rollie’ Award to Jeff Mullins, of American Electric Power in honor of his outstanding contribution to the mission of the organization. The award is named after long-time volunteers Ollie and the late Ronald Paxton. Ollie presented the award, noting Mullins’ many demonstrations of good will. “Thanks to Jeff’s assistance, AEP/Gavin has helped purchase safety equipment and has sponsored many classes for the local fire departments, boy scout leaders, 4-H counselors and many other members of our community,” said Paxton. Many award winners were joined by friends and family, including Senior Hero Dorothy Smith whose fellow Grace United Methodist Women’s Club members made up a two-table cheering section. President of the women’s club, Barbara Moore, captured a sentiment that many supporters seemed to share in regard to all of the recipients. “The write-ups in the newspaper and the wonderful recognition today are only a drop in the bucket when considering Dorothy Smith,” said Moore. “She is truly a special and wonderful lady.” Sammy Lopez, publisher of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, urged those in attendance to take inspiration from the event and apply it where they live. “Reach out, and ask your friends to volunteer in church, civic, and community efforts,” said Lopez. “It is up to each of us to work together to build a better community.” CHESTER — CR 36 (Sumner Road) will be closed intermittently between Ohio 7 and Keebaugh Road during the week of June 27 due to culvert replacement, according to Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett.

Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) will soon be emerging from the soil, so get your coffee cans filled with water and soap to pick off the first ones. This pest was introduced to the United States in 1916 on nursery stock imported from Japan. It is now one of the major homeowner calls extension offices east of the Mississippi receive each summer. The adult pest eats the foliage and fruit of many of our garden plants, however even greater plant damage occurs from its larva (grub) stage. The grub lives and feeds underground on the roots of grasses especially grass lawns from August until the following May. The Japanese beetle is a green bodied beetle covered with coppery colored wing covers. Notice the distinctive white tufts of hair along the side of the beetle. The beetle’s life cycle begins as an adult beetle in mid to late June in our region. Over the next two months it will feed, mate and lay eggs from in July through late August before it dies. The eggs are laid by the female beetle in grassy areas. The eggs hatch into larvae which burrow into the root zone of grass plants. Then iit starts feeding for the next nine months on grass roots. When soil temperatures become cool they burrow deeper into the soil to hibernate and resume feeding next spring. In May, the larvae become large enough to form a pupa. The pupa stage allows the larva to transform itself into an adult Japanese beetle to renew the life cycle. Control measures include both non-chemical and chemical methods. Some homeowners use pheromone attractants, milky spore disease, and old fashion but reliable pick and squash method. Pheromone attractants use the female scent used to attract males to fly into a bag apparatus which holds the beetles until they are killed and removed. Keep the bag fifty to one hundred feet away from the plants you are trying to protect. Milky spore disease is a fungus spore that infects and kills the larvae stage of the pest. Apply in early August and water the spores into the surface of the soil. Check the date on the container, it must be dated for use in this year. When the larva is small is the best stage to apply the fungus spore onto the grassy area. In smaller gardens, pick off adults and place into a container of water in which vegetable oil or detergent has been added. Chemical sprays may be applied to protect the foliage of plants. Carbaryl (Sevin), permethrin (Eight) and malathion are the most common spray materials applied to foliage before the Japanese beetles begin to Hal Kneen eat. Just remember to read label directions before applying. For further information read our factsheet, # 2504 “Japanese Beetle”, located on our web site www.ohiol ine.osu.edu –––––––––––––––– Another invasive beetle, the Asian Longhorned Beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), has been discovered in Ohio joining the now infamous Emerald Ash Bore which continues to spread across Ohio. In the mid 1990’s the Asian Longhorn Beetle was found in Brooklyn, New York and surrounding states. In 1998, it was found in Chicago with the cooperation of the public, local and federal governments was effectively eradicated. It continues to pop up throughout our responded with personnel on the scene to assess the extent of the infestation and to develop and implement a management plan. As its name indicates, ALB is native to Asia and is considered a serious pest in China. It is well known that the beetle is capable of hitch-hiking across the globe in wood packing material (e.g. infested pallets). Trees that are preferred by ALB include all species of maples (e.g. sugar, silver, red, Norway, box elder) as well as birches, elms, willows, horsechestnuts, and buckeyes. Trees that may be hosts to ALB, but are rarely attacked include: ashes, European mountainash, hackberry, London planetree, mimosa, and poplars. ALB is a large, striking looking beetle with very few look-a-likes found in North America. Indeed, many of the North American infestations, including the Worcester infestation, were discovered by people finding beetles rather than diagnosing the tree mortality caused by the beetles. Adults measure 1-1 1/2" in length. They are dark blue to bluish-black and covered with around 40 irregularly-shaped and sized white dots.

(AP) — Federal regulators have denied a plan by Cliffs Natural Resources to pump inert gas into part of a southern West Virginia coal mine that's been idled by elevated carbon monoxide readings. Cliffs said Friday it's appealing the regulators' denial of the plan for the Pinnacle Mine while the company evaluates other options. Cliffs evacuated and closed the mine after detecting elevated carbon monoxide near its main production area May 19. Carbon monoxide can indicate fire, but it's unclear what caused the problem at Pinnacle. Cliffs says if its options don't initially work out, it doesn't expect to resume underground operations. 417 2nd Ave., Gallipolis 740-446-1761 • www.myinsplus.com IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

The Horizon League Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year as a senior, the 6foot-2, 170-pound Norris averaged a team-leading 21.7 points, 5.3 assists and 2.2 steals. He was second on the team in rebounding at 5.8 per game and scored in double figures in all 36 games he played. Cole is Cleveland State’s all-time leader in games played (140), consecutive starts (105) and minutes played (4,114) and is second in school history with 90 wins. Bogdanovic chosen No. 31 overall in NBA draft MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Heat have drafted Croatian guard Bojan Bogdanovic with the first pick of the second round in Thursday’s NBA draft, the 31st overall selection. The 22-year-old Bogdanovic was picked as part of a multi-team trade that was expected to land Miami the No. 28 overall pick, guard Norris Cole of Cleveland State. Bogdanovic was one of the top scorers in the Euroleague last season, and may remain there at least one more season. The 6-foot-7, 195-pound Bogdanovic has a strong midrange game and has shown NBA 3-point range, but his European contract presumably had NBA teams shying away from him with a late first-round choice. Cavaliers trade 2nd-round pick to Orlando INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers traded the rights to second-round pick Justin Harper to Orlando for future draft picks. The Cavaliers selected the 6-foot-10 Harper with the No. 34 overall pick before sending the forward to the Magic for the club’s second-round picks in 2013 and 2014. Considered one of the best outside shooting big men in this draft, Harper averaged 17.9 points and 6.9 rebounds as a senior. He made 44 percent of his 3-pointers last season. There have been some questions about Harper’s willingness to play inside, but it’s his perimeter game that intrigued the Cavs. Cleveland still has the No. 52 overall pick. Blazers select Diebler with 51st pick PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers selected guard Jon Diebler out of Ohio State with the 51st pick in the NBA draft. Diebler, at 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds, averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists with the Buckeyes last season. He is the Big Ten’s leader for career 3-pointers with 374. He set Ohio State’s record for 3-pointers in a game with 10 against Penn State this past season. Diebler set Ohio’s prep scoring record with 3,208 career points at Upper Sandusky High School. Cavaliers take Serbian forward in 2nd round INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers used their final pick in the second round of the NBA draft to take Serbian forward Milan Macvan. The Cavs selected the 6-foot-9 Macvan, who averaged 7.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in Europe last season, with the No. 54 overall pick. Earlier in the second round, they drafted Richmond forward Justin Harper before trading his rights to Orlando for second-round picks in 2013 and 2014. Macvan is somewhat of an unknown, and the Cavs figured they’d take a shot with him.

Irving didn’t show up with a multimillion-dollar shoe contract, proclamations of greatness, nicknames or tattoos, either. Cleveland’s newest No. 1 draft pick is far different than the last one. He’s hardly like LeBron James. And that might be exactly why the Cavaliers love him. “He’s something special,” said coach Byron Scott. Irving, who left Duke for the NBA after just one injury-shortened freshman season, was introduced Friday by the Cavaliers along with Texas forward Tristan Thompson, the club’s No. 4 overall pick. During a 20-minute question-and-answer session, Irving displayed some of the cool and confidence that convinced Cleveland the point guard was the perfect choice to lead them back into contention. Dressed sharply in a tailored gray suit accented with a pale blue tie, the fresh-faced Irving handled queries about expectations, the league’s labor issues and other topics with the ease of a seasoned veteran. As he does on the court with the ball in his hands, the 19-year-old ran the show. “He takes his time and makes it look easy,” said Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant, who shared the stage with Irving, Thompson and Scott. “I was saying to myself, he’s a lot better than I am.” As first impressions go, Irving was flawless — well, almost. The Cavaliers were in the process of presenting Irving and Thompson with their respective wine-and-gold home jerseys — Irving will wear No. 15, Thompson No. 13 — when Drederick Irving noticed his son’s pants were unzipped. Without causing a scene, he simply nodded and lowered his eyes at Kyrie, who got the sign and quickly fixed things to avoid an embarrassing moment. No one seemed to notice. Kyrie smiled at his dad for another loving assist. On Thursday night, when his name was called by commissioner David Stern as the Cavaliers’ choice, Irving had to summon all his strength not to become too emotional and break down. After all, Drederick Irving was the one who taught him how to play, the one who had raised him to be his own man, the one who had to take over after his beloved wife, Kyrie’s mother, Elizabeth, died suddenly 15 years ago. This was their dream, and the path to it wasn’t always easy. “After my name was Ed Suba Jr./Akron Beacon Journal/MCT Cleveland Cavaliers fans cheer at Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, after the team selected University of Texas power forward Tristan Thompson with the fourth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Thursday. called,” Irving said. “I wanted to hug my father for 10 minutes, knowing that all the hard work had led to this moment.” Even a day later, Drederick Irving’s head was still spinning. “It’s still surreal,” he said as his son posed for photos with school kids the Cavaliers invited to the news conference. “It’s a surreal moment for Kyrie. It couldn’t be better for any other person than Kyrie. He’s a hard worker, a good kid. He gets it. He got the blueprint with what I tried to instill in him as a kid. “You guys are getting a gem and I’m not just saying that because I’m his father. He has another gear that people haven’t seen. He’s a special kid.” The Cavaliers, one season removed from James’ departure, have known that for a long time. Although there was speculation they considered taking Arizona forward Derrick Williams with the first pick, the choice was really Irving all along. He was on top of their draft board all season, and after winning the lottery in May, it was inevitable he would be the selection. Irving’s arrival gives Scott a dilemma at point guard. Does he start Baron Davis, the seasoned veteran? Or Irving, the gifted rookie and franchise face? “We’ll let them fight it out,” Scott said, smiling. “There are no expectations on Kyrie as a starter or anything like that. We expect Kyrie to come in, work hard and get better each and every day, learn from some of the veterans we have. There is opportunity because of the way I coach, he’ll probably be playing with Baron as 148th Meigs County Fair FREE TAX & DELIVERY SALE Tope’s is paying the tax and delivery fees on all merchandise currently marked 35% to 40% off 151 2nd Ave. Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 740-446-0332 - www.topefurniture.com GOOD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Good Food August 15-20 Amusement Rides For complete schedule and info go to www.themeigscountyfair.com CHRISTIAN MORRIS CONSTRUCTION, INC.

He’s not expecting to be given the starting job because of where he was drafted. And although there may be external pressure to live up to others’ ambitions, Irving first needs to satisfy his own. “I hold myself at such a high standard that the expectations people put on me, I try to exceed those,” he said. “And more importantly, I try to exceed mine. Right now, I’m really just focused on this opportunity and being part of the Cleveland organization and just contributing as much as I can. This season coming up, I’m really focused on being one of the leaders on the team along with others. This is a young team and I’m really happy to be a part of it.” Thompson’s selection was viewed as somewhat of a surrpise by draft experts, who think the Cavaliers may have “reached” by taking the 20-year-old. Thompson played just one season with the Longhorns and was thought to be a late first-round pick. Grant, though, said the club has been scouting the 6-foot8 power forward since high school and had him rated among this draft’s best. “We actually had him ranked much higher than fourth,” Grant said. Scott can’t wait to get his two new players on the floor. After enduring a 63-loss season, the Cavaliers want to move forward and Scott believes Irving and Thompson can quicken the team’s rebuilding project. “We said going into the draft, if we can get these two guys at No. 1 and No. 4, it would be a home run,” he said. “Well, we hit a home run.” Kentucky's only professional theatre east of I-75 offering productions year round at both the Jenny Wiley Amphitheatre and surrounding venues. �Sunday, June 26, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B3 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Cavaliers begin Heat complete trade for point guard Norris Cole new era with Irving INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Kyrie Irving didn’t know if he was going to be the No. 1 pick until NBA commissioner David Stern called his name. “I was as surprised as anyone,” he said. You’re going to Cleveland, kid. Moving further away from LeBron James’ maddening departure, the Cavaliers selected Duke’s versatile point guard with the top pick in Thursday’s draft, an expected-and-safe selection for a franchise that had to endure a 63-loss season after being abandoned last July by James short of a championship. Irving played only 11 games last season for the Blue Devils because of a toe injury, but that didn’t scare off the Cavaliers, who strongly considered Arizona forward Derrick Williams before settling on the 6-foot-2 Irving, the class of what is considered one of the weakest drafts in years. “He was No. 1 on our board all season long,” said Cavaliers coach Byron Scott. “He’s definitely the guy. What I like about Kyrie is that he’s an intelligent player. He has a very good understanding about what the game is all about, and very good understanding about what he is about as well.” Irving is the third point guard taken first overall in the past four years, joining John Wall, who went to Washington in 2010 and Derrick Rose, chosen by Chicago in 2008. In a league being dominated by backcourt stars, the Cavs are counting on Irving to become an elite playmaker and Cleveland’s newest star. He’s up for the challenge. “It’s something that I’ve been dreaming about for a while,” Irving said on a conference call from New Jersey. “I know they’ll embrace me. I just want to bring a lot of wins to the city of Cleveland.” One summer after James’ decision, the Cavaliers are making all the choices. After taking Irving, the Cavaliers used the No. 4 pick on Texas forward Tristan Thompson, a selection that was viewed as a bit of a surprise. The team was reportedly interested in Lithuania center Jonas Valanciunas, but may have been turned off by his uncertain contract situation with a pro club in his home country. The 6-foot-8 Thompson, who is from Toronto, only played one year with the Longhorns, averaging 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds. Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant was thrilled to land both Irving and Thompson. “They’re the two best talents and two best humans that fit our team,” Grant said. “The further we went along in the process, the higher they went up.” Thompson’s addition could mean the Cavaliers, who also have the Nos. 32 and 54 picks, are seriously shopping power forward J.J. Hickson, an immense physical talent who has shown flashes of stardom but whose on-court lapses frustrated Scott last season. Thompson has been friends with Irving since they were in high school, and he’s excited about the chance to play with someone he considers a brother. “I think we’ll complement each other real well,” Thompson said. For the Cavaliers, this draft signals the start of a new era — one they hope will someday end with owner Dan Gilbert being handed the Larry O’Brien Trophy. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but in the 19year-old Irving, the Cavaliers believe they have the player who can take them back to where James had them before bolting as a free agent. Irving has drawn comparisons to New Orleans guard Chris Paul, one of the league’s premier playmakers and a player Scott coached with the Hornets. In Cleveland, Irving will join a crowded backcourt, which already includes guards Baron Davis, Ramon Sessions and Daniel Gibson. Irving’s excited about the prospect of being groomed by Davis, who came to Cleveland last February in a trade from the Los Angeles Clippers. In the second round, the Cavaliers selected Richmond forward Justin Harper before trading his rights to Orlando for second-round picks in 2013 and 2014. With their final pick, they took Serbian forward Milan Macvan, whom Grant described as one of “the toughest, nastiest forwards I’ve seen.” The Cavaliers kept their draft plans under lock and key. They closed their player workouts to the media and Grant adopted a bunker mentality in the days leading up to the event. He may be feeling extra pressure to get it right for Gilbert, who famously predicted his team would win a title before James does. There was no margin for error, which is why the Cavaliers took their time before finally settling on Irving. Cleveland was the only team he worked out for, and when he visited, the Cavaliers put him through a grueling 2?-hour workout and did extensive medical tests to make sure his foot was fully healed. During his visit, Irving took on Scott in two shooting contests, with each winning one. “He probably won’t admit it,” Irving said. “He won the second one — by luck.” Scott disputed Irving’s claim. “I had to let him win one,” Scott said, laughing. Gilbert has acknowledged making some mistakes with James, and is determined to avoid any future problems as he rebuilds his basketball team. MIAMI (AP) — Norris Cole’s speed stood out to the Miami Heat, so they moved quickly to get him. Completing a deal that was struck in principle a day earlier, the Heat formally acquired Cole from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday afternoon in exchange for the rights to Croatian guard Bojan Bogdanovic, a second-round pick in the 2014 draft and cash. Cole was drafted 28th overall by the Chicago Bulls, who then sent him to Minnesota. The Heat simply could have waited with hopes of snaring him at No. 31 — the pick they used for Bogdanovic — but feared Cole would already be gone. So the deal was made, and after some logistics involving Minnesota’s trade of Jonny Flynn to Houston were worked out Friday, the NBA signed off on the move. “I’m just going to be myself,” Cole said. “Stay humble, work hard, earn the respect from the veteran guys there and the coaching staff. That’s the most important thing.” The Heat had Cole rated as the draft’s 18thbest player, and bypassed several other point guards to get him. “Norris was ahead of all of these guys for us because of a specific skill set that he has,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “He has tremendous speed and tremendous acceleration and great control of the ball while he has that acceleration. ... His speed, his acceleration, his ability, I think, to be a game-changer and a pace-changer is what we wanted.” Cole played his college basketball at Cleveland State, and scored 22 points to lead the Vikings past then-12th-ranked Wake Forest 84-69 in the first round of the 2009 NCAA tournament, on the same court the Heat call home. It was during that postseason run when Cole began becoming a star for Cleveland State, and he capped his college career by averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists as a senior for a team that finished with a 27-9 record. “Playing there my sophomore year and winning in the NCAA tournament, it comes around full circle,” Cole said. “It makes that game that much more special.” Cole was the Horizon League’s player of the year and defensive player of the year, and that more than piqued Miami’s interest. Riley said the team essentially traded up three spots because it did not “want to get left at the altar,” adding that the consensus in the Heat draft room was that Cole was the right fit for the Eastern Conference champions. “We’re intrigued by a Why Not Mow with the has arrived. “I can’t be out there star-gazing,” Cole said. “At this level, we’re all pros, and as a competitor you can’t get out there if you’re going to have doubts and if you’re going to be star-struck. This league is not for those type of players. So I’m going to get out there and work hard with the ‘Big 3,’ earn their respect in practice, so that they can trust me so that we can make plays and contend for a championship.” Enrolling Students for the 2011-2012 School Year. • Pre-K4 • Kindergarten • 1st-12th Grades CALL 740-446-0374 O'Dell's Case XX Knives 20 % OFF O'Dell True Value Lumber 61 Vine St. Gallipolis 740-446-1276 M-F 7-6, Sat 8-5, Sun 10-4 Rotary Mile Entry Form The Gallipolis Rotary Club is pleased to sponsor the ANNUAL ROTARY MILE.

Making a trade was much simpler for the Heat, and Cole addressed one of the team’s major needs. The Heat do not have a point guard guaranteed for next season, though Mario Chalmers is a restricted free agent, is expected to be Miami’s starter next year and wants to be back. Riley said Cole worked out about 10 days before the draft and left a major impression. “This was his audition, this was his job interview, this was his opportunity to get into the NBA and there wasn’t anybody that I think we’ve had in a number of years that took it more seriously and competitively than this guy,” Riley said. “He just dominated the practice with his effort, his hustle, his conditioning, his quickness.” A native of Dayton, Ohio, Cole said he can’t help but feel slightly overwhelmed by the chance to play with LeBron James — whose arrival in Miami from Cleveland generated slightly more fanfare than Cole’s will — and Dwyane Wade next season. Cole finished last season with 780 points, 210 rebounds, 191 assists and 80 steals. No other Division I player in the last 15 seasons had totals like that in all four categories. He increased his steal numbers in each of his final three college seasons, and his rebound total as a senior nearly matched what he grabbed in his first three years at Cleveland State combined. “One common comment that the various NBA teams have had when I have spoken with them is how hard Norris works defensively,” Cleveland State coach Gary Waters said. “That is the difference between him and many of the other players in the draft.” Cole finished his career as Cleveland State’s record holder in games and consecutive games played (140 each) and minutes (4,114). He ranks second on the school’s all-time list with 90 wins and is third in scoring with 1,978 points. He’s looking forward now, not back. When the Heat were in the NBA finals, he said he was thinking about having the chance to play with Miami, and a couple weeks later that chance �Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2011 OVP Football Composite WEEK 1 WEEK 4 FRIDAY, AUGUST 26 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 Belpre at Paint Valley Alexander at Eastern Federal Hocking at River Valley Miller at Waterford South Gallia at Sciotoville East Symmes Valley at Southern Athens at Gallia Academy Meigs at Coal Grove Unioto at Vinton County Hamilton Township at Chillicothe Logan at Lancaster Warren at Philo Oak Hill at Chesapeake Fairland at Portsmouth West Rock Hill at Zane Trace Minford at South Point Sissonville at Chapmanville Herbert Hoover at Ravenswood Poca at Nitro Scott at Tolsia Wayne at Magnolia Valley Fayette at Hannan Wahama at Belpre Waterford at Eastern Southern at Federal Hocking South Gallia at Miller Trimble at Coal Grove Alexander at Frontier Chillicothe at Athens Minford at Meigs Nelsonville-York at Bishop Ready Vinton County at Waverly Oak Hill at Wellston Marietta at Gallia Academy Jackson at Logan Portsmouth at Warren Chesapeake at Valley Fairland at Wheelersburg River Valley at Fort Frye Portsmouth West at Rock Hill Point Pleasant at South Point Chapmanville at Poca Tolsia at Herbert Hoover Sissonville at Scott SATURDAY, AUGUST 27 Nelsonville-York at Trimble Wellston at Jackson, 8 p.m. Portsmouth at Wilmington, 7 p.m. WEEK 2 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 Fort Frye at Belpre Eastern at Miller Federal Hocking at Waterford Southern at South Gallia Trimble at Wahama Huntington Ross at Alexander Coal Grove at Athens Meigs at Fairland Vinton County at Piketon Wellston at Minford Big Walnut at Chillicothe Gallia Academy at Licking Heights Jackson at Waverly Pickerington North at Logan Portsmouth West at Portsmouth Warren at Marietta Wayne at Chesapeake Symmes Valley at River Valley Rock Hill at Valley Green at South Point Chapmanville at Herbert Hoover Ravenswood at Poca Tolsia at Point Pleasant Liberty Raleigh at Sissonville SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 Nelsonville-York at Trimble Hannan at Hundred, 1 p.m. WEEK 3 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 Belpre at Southern Wahama at Eastern Sciotoville East at Federal Hocking Miller at Crooksville South Gallia at Trimble Fort Frye at Waterford Unioto at Alexander Athens at Warren River Valley at Meigs Berne Union at NelsonvilleYork Jackson at Vinton County Gallia Academy at Wellston Chillicothe at Ironton Logan at Reynoldsburg Wheelersburg at Portsmouth Chesapeake at Symmes Valley Valley at Coal Grove Tolsia at Fairland Rock Hill at Oak Hill South Point at Portsmouth West Scott at Chapmanville Wayne at Herbert Hoover Poca at Buffalo Point Pleasant at Sissonville Hannan at Green WEEK 5 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 Belpre at Federal Hocking Eastern at South Gallia Miller at Trimble Waterford at Wahama Southern at Meigs Logan at Nelsonville-York Alexander at River Valley Athens at Waverly Point Pleasant at Vinton County Fairland at Wellston Chillicothe at Portsmouth Ironton at Gallia Academy Portsmouth West at Chesapeake Bishop Ready at Coal Grove Wheelersburg at Rock Hill South Point at Valley Logan (WV) at Chapmanville Poca at Scott Sissonville at Wayne Winfield at Tolsia Hannan at Buffalo SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 Jackson at Warren WEEK 6 Point Pleasant at Poca Scott at Wayne Mingo Central at Tolsia Manchester at Hannan SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8 Cin.

Lee sent a 1-2 pitch from Jose Arredondo (03) into the seats in left field to end the marathon. It was Lee’s fifth home run, the first since May 8. Cincinnati missed a chance to take the lead in the top of the 12th when Joey Votto was thrown out at the plate trying to score from first on a twoout double by Jay Bruce. Mike Gonzalez (1-1) worked the 12th for the Orioles, who led 4-0 after four innings. Baltimore stranded 13 and went 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The Orioles improved to 4-6 in extra-inning games. Adam Jones homered for Baltimore, and rookie second baseman Blake Davis — who made a costly error Wednesday in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh — rebounded with his first major league hit: a two-run triple that made it 2-0 in the second inning. A sellout crowd of 45,382 watched Cincinnati’s first appearance in Baltimore since the 1970 World Series. During the 15 years that interleague play has been in existence, the Reds faced every AL team on the road except the Orioles. Reds starter Edinson Volquez gave up four runs, seven hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings. Volquez entered with a 13.85 ERA in the first inning, but he kept the Orioles scoreless despite walking two batters. In the second inning, however, Volquez surren- dered the game’s first run for the 12th time in 14 starts. Lee walked and took third on a double by Matt Wieters before Davis tripled to rightcenter. Jones led off the third with his 12th homer for a 3-0 lead. In the fourth, Wieters doubled and came home on a brokenbat bloop by J.J. Hardy. Cincinnati closed to 43 in the fifth against Orioles starter Chris Jakubauskas. Brandon Phillips hit a two-run, two-out double and scored on a double by Votto. In the bottom half, Baltimore got runners on second and third with one out before Sam LeCure struck out Wieters and Davis around an intentional walk to Mark Reynolds. The Reds pulled even in the sixth against Jason Berken, who yielded a double to Jonny Gomes and a two-out RBI single to No. 9 hitter Paul Janish.

After weeks of silence, the oversight panel for Ohio State — a school of more than 50,000 students — is beginning to comment on the memorabilia scandal. It will spend up to six weeks reviewing the athletic department’s entire response to the scandal, though members say they do not know of any other NCAA rules violations right now. “We have a lot to look at in sort of the soulsearching of what is most important in the game of life,” trustee Jerry Jurgensen, retired chief executive officer of Nationwide Insurance, said in remarks to the full board on Friday. “The cracks here weren’t really cracks of rules and procedures,” he said. “They were cracks in a value system.” Jurgensen, often an independent voice on the board, was quickly contradicted by board chairman Les Wexner, billionaire chairman and founder of Limited Brands and a major donor to the university. “I don’t think we have a lot of soul-searching to do, not at all,” Wexner said. “We have a lot of heart celebrating to do for the good that this university does.” Neither Wexner nor Jurgensen would comment after the board meeting. Ohio State President Gordon Gee took Wexner’s side, saying “the university is moving forward and we feel very strongly about the fact that we have much to celebrate today.” Tressel’s 10-year Ohio State head coaching career, which included a national championship and seven Big Ten titles, ended in disgrace when he stepped down May 30 after failing to tell alert Above Ground Swimming Pools From Only $1,695.00 his superiors that players were getting improper benefits under NCAA rules. The coach knew players received cash and tattoos for autographs, championship rings and equipment and did not tell anyone at Ohio State or the NCAA for more than nine months. NCAA rules — and Tressel’s contract — specified that he had to disclose any and all information about possible violations. Wexner defended the board’s silence Friday, saying that, rather than making public pronouncements, trustees decided to devote their energy to working with university administrators to make sure the proper processes, reviews and protocols were in place. “We’ve got a very sound process of work,” Wexner said. “I’m pleased and I think the board is pleased with the work to date and the way we’ve progressed that work in an orderly, focused and thorough manner.” Trustee Robert Schottenstein said on Friday that Ohio State’s athletic compliance program is good but there might be room for improvement. The program, with eight compliance officers, has added two positions since the scandal broke last December, but those positions were being discussed before the news of the memorabilia sales broke. The program oversees hundreds of athletes, including 85 football players on scholarship. “The NCAA has been in here a number of times and claimed that our athletic compliance process is outstanding,” Schottenstein said Friday. “They may be right. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to change it, though.” TREE CARE SPECIALISTS BBYFL Signups Now it's your turn to experience relief from all your migraine headaches-once and for all! reen Go G Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B5 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis SCOTT SWAIN OH-0825AU GALLIPOLIS OH 740-446-2015 YOUR TREES DESERVE THE BEST CARE!

AP sources: NFL talks to be held again next week BY BARRY WILNER ASSOCIATED PRESS With training camps set to open in another month, NFL owners and players will resume negotiations next week, hoping to build on recent talks, two people familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press on Friday. While each side has acknowledged progress in the four-month-old lockout, a new collective bargaining agreement isn’t imminent. One of the two people who spoke on condition of anonymity said conference calls are being set up to discuss various issues, but not the major one of splitting revenues. The person said that was being negotiated “face to face.” The two people declined to be identified because the meetings were confidential. The sides completed two days of talks at a beachfront resort in Hull, Mass., on Thursday. On hand were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, owners John Mara of the New York Giants, Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers, Clark Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs, Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots and Dean Spanos of the San Diego Chargers. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith also was present along with several play- ers, including Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts, Tony Richardson of the New York Jets and Domonique Foxworth of the Baltimore Ravens. “Someone asked me whether I was optimistic,” Smith said. “I think we’re both optimistic when we have the right people in the room. We know we’re talking about the right issues and that we’re working hard to get it done.” Previous meetings took place in suburban Chicago, New York and the Maryland shore. Once the owners and players can agree on how to divide revenues — $9.3 billion last year — other issues such as a rookie wage scale, benefits for retired players, and player health and safety could fall in line quickly. Still, it’s almost July, and training camps are scheduled to open late next month. The first preseason game is Aug. 7 at Canton, Ohio. This week, two teams — the Ravens and Jets — said they would train at their regular-season facilities and not out of town. Baltimore canceled its camp at Winchester, Md., and New York did the same for Cortland, N.Y. “With all the variables presented by this unique offseason, we felt it was best for the Jets that we hold our training camp here at our practice facility,” general manager Mike Tannenbaum said Friday. Also this week, league owners were briefed on a plan that would give the players just under 50 percent of total income. An offthe-top expense credit of about $1 billion that went to the owners would be eliminated. Come on over to Bob’s... Fresh Summertime Produce Two Convenient Locations 1 Jenkins Lane, Gallipolis OH (740)446-1711 1/4 Mile North of Bridge of Honor Mason WV • (304)773-5323 Lift Chairs, Bathroom Safety, Urinary MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — David Bradshaw has won the West Virginia Open for the sixth time, beating Morgantown’s Bob Friend in a three-hole aggregate playoff Friday at The Pines Country Club. Bradshaw shot a 1over-par 72 in the final round, while Friend shot 70, including birdies on two of the final three holes to force the playoff with both players tied at 5 under. Both birdied the first extra hole, the par-5 16th. Friend bogeyed the next hole while Bradshaw made par, and both players parred the 18th. With the win, Bradshaw broke a tie with Grafton’s Brad Westfall, who has five Open titles. Bradshaw is second only to Sam Snead’s 17 wins. The last time the Open was held at the Pines in 2003, it also ended in a playoff when Westfall beat Pat Carter. That year the playoff was known more for its distractions. Carter, preparing to hit first, had to step away from the tee and looked toward Westfall, who was standing a few feet away with his back to Carter but moving his club in Carter’s line of site. Up at the green, Carter was interrupted again when Westfall made a noise with the Velcro of his golf glove. The pair had another discussion on the second playoff hole. This year, the only tensions were in the golfers’ minds. Bradshaw started the day with a two-stroke lead over Friend but Bradshaw bogeyed both par 3s in the first nine holes. Bradshaw, Friend and John Ross entered the back nine of the final round tied at 4 under. Ross, the Champions Tour veteran and state Open winner in 1997 and 1999, bogeyed the par-4 10th to fall a stroke back. All three players bogeyed the par-5 11th before making three straight pars. Bradshaw went ahead briefly with a birdie on the par-4 15th and he birdied No. 16, but Friend pulled into a tie with birdies at Nos. 16 and 17. Ross fell out of contention with another bogey at No. 17. He shot 74 and finished fourth at even par. Virginia Tech golfer Garland Green, playing one hole ahead of the leaders, birdied two of the first four holes to move to 3 under but gave those shots back with bogeys at Nos. 9 and 11. He shot 71 and finished in third place at 2 under. Pat Carter, Darcy Donaldson and Vincent Zachwieja tied for fifth at 2 over. The course surrendered nine under-par scores in the first two rounds but seven golfers broke par Friday. Charles Town’s Jason Robinson, a former Pines employee, had the low round of the day at 67.

POMEROY – “Stories at the River’s Edge,” a program funded as an Ohio River Border Initiative, a joint project of the Ohio Arts Council and the West Virginia Commission on the Arts, with support from the Riverbend Arts Council, will begin weekly programs in communities along the river on July 8 and continuing through the first week in August. Meigs County Storyteller Donna Wilson initiated the program three years ago in Meigs County after securing funding from the Ohio Arts Council. This year the funding was increased making it possible to expand the programming. Programs will be offered in libraries, museums, and parks in Pomeroy, Gallipolis, and Athens, in Ohio, and Ripley, Ravenswood, Mason, Sistersville, and St. Mary’s in West Virginia. Five different storytellers will be featured at various times during the summer months, and then two special programs, yet unannounced, have been planned for later, one at Halloween and the other at Christmas. The programs are open to all ages at no cost. Those attending will have the pleasure of hearing stories well told while using their own imagination to create images as the storyteller unravels a tale. Storytelling programs are a throwback to the days when families gathered on the front porch to pass the time of day. They sang, they laughed, and they told stories. Many of the stories told by today’s storytellers are a compilation of the wit and wisdom of yesteryear which originated at those front porch gatherings. “While once almost a lost art, storytelling is back and now taking its place as a traditional art form to be cherished,” said Wilson. As she explains in the program brochure, “in the past Appalachian people told tales as part of everyday life. Everything from tall tales, spooky ghost stories and legends, storytelling was part of the fabric of life. But over time storytelling died out as television and other popular entertainment took its place.” Humorist and Impersonator Stephen Hollen Today storytelling is experiencing a revival, not only as an entertainment form, but a way of educating a generation about life before their time. The storytellers will include Wilson who often reaches back into her experience of growing up in Meigs County; Susanna Holstein, known as “Granny Sue” who develops her stories from folklore and history as well as her Appalachian background; Stephen Hollen, a humorist, storyteller, per- former, writer and poet and a prominent Mark Twain Impersonator; Adam Booth who reaches back into his Appalachian and Jewish heritage for stories he heard from his grandparents; and Bizzie Vunderink, who looks into happenings of yesteryear for story content. Storytellers for the first programs, 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on July 8 and 15, to be held at Ripley and Ravenswood will be Adam Booth and Susanne “Granny Sue” Holstein.

"Female Force: Martha Stewart," a one-shot issue from Bluewater Productions Inc. to be sold in comic book shops, bookstores and online, will focus on how Stewart rose to become of the nation's best-known purveyors of home decor, cooking and confident but practical living. It's the latest in a line of titles from the Vancouver, Wash.based publisher, with previous subjects in the "Female Force" family of titles focusing on Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michelle Obama, Barbara Walters, Sarah Palin and Margaret Thatcher, among others. Publisher Darren G. Davis said the comic, written by C.W. Cooke, will look at all sides of Stewart, including her rapport with fans as well as her conviction on insider trading. Cooke notes that in addition to being a businesswoman, entrepreneur and famous brand name, Stewart has been a model and a small business owner.
