According to the Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the accident occurred on Van Zant Road in Cheshire Twp about 9:38 a.m. and involved a truck and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The 14-year-old male ATV operator was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not yet been released. The accident is under investigation.

(Charlene Hoeflich/photo) POMEROY — Residents in Appalachian counties turned out in force to sign petitions to place an issue on the November ballot which could eventually repeal Senate Bill 5. According to data supplied by the anti-SB5 organization “We Are Ohio,” out of the state’s 32 Appalachian counties, 21 were in the top 30 when it came to the percentage of registered voters who signed the petitions — not bad considering there are 88 counties in Ohio, total. Liz Shaw and Nate Hall, representatives from “We Are Ohio,” reported the rankings to The Sunday Times-Sentinel. Local organizers for southeast Ohio met on Friday, discussed the findings and asked why Appalachian Ohio had such a strong turnout. “We have a lot of middle class, working people this (SB 5) has affected and they’re coming out in droves,” Shaw said of the prevailing theory as to why residents living in Appalachia had such a strong showing on the petitions. Organizers needed signatures of three percent of those registered voters who voted in the last gubernatorial election — a percentage they received and then some when traveling through Appalachia. Monroe County ranked second in the state at 38.58 percent voter turnout, Athens ranked third with 33.44 percent, Adams ranked fourth with 33.44 percent, Jackson ranked sixth with 32.14 percent, Vinton ranked seventh with 29.53 percent, Meigs ranked eighth at 29.04 percent, Gallia ranked 18th with 22.94 percent. Other Appalachian counties in the top 25 include Lawrence, Pike, Scioto, Hocking. Lucas County in Northwestern Ohio, home to Toledo, had 39.52 percent of voters turn out to sign petitions — the highest percentage in the state. Cuyahoga County, home to Cleveland, came in at number five with 31.43 percent of voter turnout; Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, came in at number nine with 28.04 percent; Franklin County, home to Columbus, came in at number 12 in the state with 25.95 percent. Shaw said Appalachia and urban areas seemed to show some of the strongest voter turnout when it came See Petition, A3 �Sunday, July 3, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Design Intervention Extension Corner BY CARLA WAMSLEY BY HAL KNEEN I am officially obsessed with Bravo TV’s show “Million Dollar Decorators”. I find myself planning my entire evening around this show, (something I haven’t done since my kids were small and they had to be in bed before “Knot’s Landing” came on). Anyway, if you haven’t seen it, you should consider tuning in because it is rather fascinating. Basically it follows five Los Angeles based interior designers as they decorate for the rich and famous. Ok, so now you know… it’s another unrealistic reality show. It’s so far out there that I just find myself intrigued by the insane amount of money these people are spending. During the first few episodes these designers have decorated a $20 million home in La Jolla, an apartment for Sharon and Ozzy Osborne, and one of them is currently working on a beach house for Shannon Factor ( as in Max Factor Cosmetics), among many other projects with unending budgets. $30,000 here, $50,000 there… and these are just prices for the accessories! Amazing. So, back to reality, I mean real reality. Let’s face it; it’s entertaining, but real? Not in my world. I have never had a client with an unending budget, but I can dream, can’t I? And you can too, so I will suggest that you make time to take a peek at this show if you are thinking of a decorating project of your own. Not because I entertain the idea of your budget taking a leap into the stratosphere, but because the looks you see are pretty easily duplicated for much, much, much less. Most, if not all, of these designers have been on House Beautiful’s Top 100 designers list at some point, which gives you an idea of the caliber of design that we are talking about. This is a show that can really inspire you! Here in our corner of the planet we may not have million-dollar decorating budgets but we do have taste and a sense of style. There are things that we can do to update our homes and give them “the look for less”. A lot less. For instance, consider investing in some wonder- Local fresh grown vegetables, especially sweet corn are being harvested and sold at many of the local farmer stands and farmers markets. Several local growers have been selling produce that was grown in “High Tunnels- heatless greenhouses” to get a jump on field grown produce. Tomatoes, strawberries, lettuce, eggplant and peppers have been harvested for several weeks, and now the field production is ripening up. Locally grown produce does have a different taste, especially tomatoes. The new United States Department of Agriculture program, “My Dinner Plate”, is emphasizing the increased use of fresh vegetables and fruits to help us lose weight and keep it off. So do your part buy local produce and prepare your meals with healthier ingredients. *** Are you interested in raising sheep? The 2011 Ohio Sheep Day is scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 2011. It will be held at Blue Heron Farm, home farm of Cynthia Koonce, located outside of Lisbon, Ohio in Columbiana County. This is a commercial lamb operation. This year’s focus is on increasing the profitability of sheep operations upon which Dr. Richard Ehrhardt, Small Ruminant Specialist at Michigan State University, will be the keynote speaker. The programming for the day will also include EQIP programming, internal parasite control, manure management, farm tours, forage demonstrations, grazing management, and many other topics. There will also be a Trade Show dealing with several aspects of sheep production and management for the attendees to visit and purchase supplies and equipment. Ohio Sheep Day is Carla Wamsley fully comfortable downfilled throw pillows on your next sofa. Or if you aren’t in the market for a new sofa, just make a trip to your local furniture store and order some for your existing sofa. They are so obviously decadent looking and feeling and they won’t break the bank. Another very high-end look that you can duplicate for less is beautifully framed wall art. You will not believe what a difference it can make in the atmosphere of your home. I am talking “frames” here. You can find lovely pictures anywhere, but finding artwork that is aptly framed is something else entirely. Look for larger scale frames in updated finishes that have that museum-type feel to them. Now, don’t be afraid of my next suggestion: Animal print. Yes, there is a line that we don’t want to cross, but one strategically placed leopard chair, or zebra patterned rug, or even a faux mink throw can transform the ordinary room into extraordinary. The key word here is “one”. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing! Don’t be afraid to do something totally unexpected in a room. On a very simplistic level for example, if you are doing a monochromatic color scheme, try adding one accessory in a pop of color. If you are a bit more adventurous, how about mixing a couple of natural elements in with your more elegant rooms. For example, a gleaming glass table top on a driftwood base in a formal room can be very striking. Just start thinking about implementing some of the design ideas you see that seem very high-end. Try one or two of them, and before you know it, your home will look like a million!

Rory Lewandoski, Athens County Educator suggests that summer pasture management generally requires a different mindset compared to the spring season. As both air and soil temperature increase, our cool season grasses will grow slower and recover from a grazing pass slower. Just how much slower that growth and recovery is depends upon rainfall and grazing management. Up to this point at the end of June our rainfall has been good and we have even had some stretches of cooler temperatures so our pasture growth has remained good. Your summer management should focus on meeting two goals: do not over graze pasture paddocks and provide some paddocks to stockpile forage for winter grazing. The first management goal is to insure that pastures are not overgrazed. During the spring flush, pastures are growing so rapidly that the management strategy generally is to just top the grass off and keep moving quickly through the paddocks. During the summer, managers need to keep an eye on residual grass height. You need to know when to get livestock out of a pasture paddock. The goal should be to leave about Visit us online at mydailytribune.com and mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news Hal Kneen 4 inches of pasture height when livestock are moved to the next paddock. On the other end, begin grazing a paddock when there is around 8 to 10 inches of forage height. Provide a rest period to allow pasture paddocks to re-grow to the 8 to 10 inch height before they are grazed again. Pasture paddocks that maintain a 4 inch residual will regrow more quickly than paddocks grazed lower. Those paddocks have cooler soil temperatures and lose less soil moisture by evaporation as compared to paddocks grazed lower. They will be ready for another grazing pass sooner. The second management goal is to begin to look ahead during the summer period and follow a grazing management plan that allows some pasture paddocks to get stockpiled beginning in August, or by mid-August at the latest. Stockpiling through the fall will also allow pasture plants to store adequate carbohydrate reserves for the winter period. Identify those pasture paddocks that have the best soil drainage. They will work better than poorly drained paddocks for grazing winter stockpiled forage. Remember that tall fescue is our best grass species for stockpiling if the plan is to use this forage for winter feeding, so identify pasture paddocks with a high percentage of fescue. These paddocks will also need to be clipped to remove the seed heads and reset the plant into vegetative growth. To accomplish the goal of stockpiling, it may be necessary to include a plan to feed some hay in the late summer to early fall period to free up some paddocks for stockpiling. This may be a wise use of some low quality first cut hay that will leverage the growth of some higher quality forage for winter feeding. That low quality hay will probably be adequate to meet the needs of any livestock that have weaned their young and are now dry without any further supplementation. Feeding that same hay field in the winter as gestation requirements increase and winter temperatures place additional nutrient burdens on the animal will require expensive supplementation. In most cases, stockpiled forage will be adequate to meet those winter needs without supplementation. The point here is that planning and management in the summer is necessary to make this happen. *** Remember that the Meigs County Fair is just six weeks away, August 15-20.

Corrections officers will use a kit, such as the one pictured, to acquire a DNA sample via a cheek swab. The sample will then be sent to the Ohio Bureau of Identification and Investigation in London, Ohio, where the information will be entered into a state-wide database. “The more scientific evidence they have, the better off law enforcement is going to be to get unsolved crimes solved,” Adkins said. “You might not have a suspect or know who possibly could have done something but, if DNA showed up somewhere where it shouldn’t have been or there was no explanation for it, it certainly gives us a better chance to prosecute a case after it’s investigated.” From Page A1 Clinic From Page A1 economic stimulus program and a $1.3 million USDA/Rural Development loan for construction of its new facility. Waiting on the approval of the USDA loan put the project around nine months behind the original schedule, Bridenbach said, but original estimates at groundbreaking remain in place for a January occupancy. FHI saw 2,000 patients at its Meigs County center in 2009, during 8,600 visits to the downtown Middleport office. Because of its easy access, expanded services and additional staff, the new center is expected to see an increase in patients once it opens early next year. Privately-insured patients make up around 30 percent of the Meigs County practice. Forty percent of the patients are uninsured, and receive care on a sliding fee scale. Last week, county commissioners announced their plans to liquidate and demolish the 50-year-old Veterans Memorial Hospital building, which has been deemed unsuitable for renovation and outdated for use as a hospital. They hope to partner with an existing healthcare provider — possible a Federally-Qualified H ealth Center operator like FHC — to operate a 24-hour emergency room and even possibly a small inpatient ward, on land on the same site but remaining in the hands of the Community Improvement Corporation. The CIC sold the land Family Healthcare is using for its project, and site preparation work has been ongoing on that portion of the property in preparation for any expanded facilities.

Current law now dictates that all arresting agencies throughout Ohio must take a DNA sample of all individuals being charged with a felony offense upon their booking into a detention facility, regardless of whether or not they are later convicted of the felony offense. The DNA samples are taken from cheek swabs that are sealed by jail officials and sent to BCI where they will be housed in the state database. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning reported that the added step of taking DNA samples from all felony inmates that are housed in the Gallia County Jail is a task that his staff is prepared to do. “It seems to be a very simple procedure; it doesn’t look like its going to cause any disruption with the staff,” Browning said. Browning said DNA samples should provide an additional tool for his investigative staff and allow charges to be filed in other unsolved cases throughout Ohio. “It’s going to be a help in building the database and it’s going to be a great investigative tool for case investigators and detectives that have pending cases or future cases where there may be DNA evidence that is not identified,” Browning said. “I hope that they’re going to be able to clear other cases, as well, that may be pending, not only here in Gallia County but across the state. It seems like it’s a good resource for law enforcement to have.” Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins is also hopeful that the change in Ohio’s DNA laws will allow prosecutors to more readily get convictions in criminal cases. �Page A4 OPINION Sunday, July 3, 2011 Wind beneath my wings Lincolnʼs declaration The making of a hit song. BY LARRY HENLEY "CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL: COUNTRY MUSIC" "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit." -Richard Bach Song written by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar Recorded by Bette Midler, Gary Morris, Lou Rawls, Gladys Knight and others I was at the writers' office on Music Row one day, and I walked past Jeff Silbar's office. He was strumming his guitar, and after a particular chord, I said, "Play that again." He said, "Play what again?" And I said: "That chord you just played. I just want to hear it one more time." And when he struck that chord, my mind went, "It must have been cold there in my shadow." I wasn't even sure what it meant really. This was around 1982. I had been working on "Wind Beneath My Wings" for a couple of years, and I couldn't figure out how to get it started. We wrote a little bit on it that night. We wrote the first couple of lines and the first line in the chorus, I think. Then Jeff's mother came in, and he had to go with her somewhere. I was leaving for Texas the next day to go fishing. And I couldn't get the song off my mind. It was driving me crazy. I kept trying to write it in my head. I stayed up all night trying to write that. The next morning, my friend and I went fishing. We were about 50 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. We'd been fishing for an hour without a bite, and I told him, "I don't think we're going to catch any fish." Then I said, "Do you have a piece of paper and a pencil?" He brought me a paper sack and a pencil. And I finished "Wind Beneath My Wings" on that paper sack. Then I signed it and gave it to his wife and said, "Keep this, because it might be worth something someday, because I think it's the best thing I ever wrote." When we demoed the song, Roger Whittaker happened to be cutting and Chet Atkins was producing him, so our publisher took the song right over to him. He was the first one to cut it. I don't think he released it as a single, unless it was released in Europe. Then we did a mass mailing to everybody we knew who was recording, and they all cut it! We thought Lee Greenwood was going to have the biggest single on it, but then Gary Morris heard about the song, and he sent somebody from Warner Bros. over to get a copy of the tape. The next thing we knew, Gary Morris was going to put it out as a single. I didn't even know who Gary Morris was at the time, but he did a great job on it. I won Song of the Year for it, and Gary won Single of the Year, too. Then, in 1989, they were looking for songs for the movie "Beaches," and Bette Midler was going to star in it. I think her hairdresser told her about the song. The next thing I knew, they called me and told me Bette had cut our song. By that time, it had been cut so many times I didn't get that excited about it anymore. I knew they were going to use it in a movie, but I didn't even know if the song fit with the movie. I had a few songs that were in movies before, and nothing really ever came of them. When I heard Bette's version, I didn't really like the way she had changed the lyric. She changed a couple of the lines and she made it fit the movie. And after it came out in the movie, it charted on the pop charts. It came out at like No. 50 and then it moved up very quickly. By the time it got to about No. 20, I thought, "Well, maybe it's not so bad that she changed the lyric after all." By the time it hit No. 1, I had completely forgotten what I was even mad about. And it did fit the movie perfectly. The next year, the song won a Grammy. A few years after that, a friend and I were taking a pot-bellied stove to a church in the jungle in Hawaii. We went into the church and put the stove down, and I looked up on the mantle of this church, and someone had written down the lyrics to my song on the mantle of this church. I said, "Where did you get that?" He told me somebody had mailed it to him from Brazil. He didn't even know it was a song; he just thought it was a poem. And I said: "Let me sign that for you. I wrote that song." He didn't want me to have it. He thought I was lying, I guess. But I finally did take it apart and signed it for him. But just to think that I found the lyrics to my song out in the middle of the jungle like that was incredible to me. Visit our Web site: www.chickensoup.com. (c)2011 by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen BY RICH LOWRY When Abraham Lincoln began his speech at the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery in 1863 with those words redolent of the King James Bible, "four score and seven years ago," he referred back to 1776, not 1787. It was the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, that animated Lincoln's project to return mid-19th-century America to our "ancient faith." For Lincoln, the path of salvation for a country torn by contention over slavery ran through the past: "Our republican robe is soiled, and trailed in the dust. Let us re-purify it. Let us turn and wash it white, in the spirit, if not the blood, of the Revolution." In the prelude to and during the Civil War -- the 150th anniversary of which we mark this year - Lincoln clung to the Declaration as the fundamental statement of the nation's purpose. The Declaration, according to Lincoln, easily could have enunciated the practical reasons for our split from Britain, and left it at that. No ringing philosophical statements, no invocation of "unalienable rights." But Thomas Jefferson's handiwork was meant for the ages. Lincoln praised him for possessing the foresight "to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression." Lincoln made precisely this use of the Declaration. Prior to the passage of the KansasNebraska Act in 1854, Rich Lowry overturning the Missouri Compromise and allowing slavery into all the territories if the people wanted it, he referred to the Declaration in public only twice. In the ensuing crisis, it became a staple of his rhetoric. Lincoln's historic debates with Illinois Sen. Stephen Douglas, the author of the KansasNebraska Act, were at bottom an argument about the Declaration. Under his doctrine of "popular sovereignty," Douglas wanted to allow the extension of slavery in blatant disregard of the belief that "all men are created equal." Douglas denied that the Declaration had universal meaning. The Founders merely meant to say that as British subjects in North America we were equal to British subjects in Britain. What appeared to be a ringing statement of eternal truth was in reality a dubious assertion that all men are British. Worse, Douglas and his ilk -- Chief Justice Roger Taney and all the apologists for the slave power - also fell back on the argument that blacks weren't men. If so, Lincoln wondered, why did the country permit half a million blacks their freedom? "How comes this vast amount of property to be running about without owners? We do not see free horses or free cattle running at large." The popular sovereignty of Douglas depended, ultimately, on believing the Declaration a lie. One of the reasons Lincoln said he hated slavery was "that it forces really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty -- criticizing the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self- interest." This view threatened the foundation of freedom. "A free people cannot disagree, or agree to disagree, on the relative merits of freedom and despotism," the great Lincoln scholar Harry Jaffa writes. "If the majority favors despotism, it is no longer a free people, whether the form of government has already changed or not." Lincoln lost the 1858 Senate election, of course, but he succeeded ultimately in vindicating the Declaration. It should remain today what Lincoln fought to establish it as: the timeless object for our national aspiration. "They meant to set up a standard maxim for free society," Lincoln said of the Founders, "which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence, and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere."

John Kasich’s plan to privatize some corrections work. The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says privatizing the prisons will save $6.6 million annually and provide communities with new tax revenue. The companies submitting bids Friday are Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America, Boca Raton, Fla.-based GEO Group, Inc. and Centerville, Utah-based Management and Training Corporation. Two of the five prisons, North Coast Correctional Treatment Facility in Grafton and Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Conneaut (KAW’-nee-awt), are already privately run, though the state owns the buildings Additional facilities include a closed juvenile prison in Marion, Marion’s North Central Correctional Institution and Grafton Correctional Institution. Contracts will be awarded by Sept. 1. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio has a record corn crop in the ground as farmers have recovered from a cold, wet spring that delayed planting. Many farmers were able to do all their planting during four warm, dry days in June, said Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association spokeswoman Natalie Lehner. As a result, U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates show Ohio has an all-time high 3.5 million acres planted with corn, up from 3.45 million acres last year. “That is amazing considering how late farmers started planting this year,” Lehner told The Columbus Dispatch. While farmers don’t expect a record level of corn grown per acre, they do believe yields could at least be average, the newspaper reported Friday. The Agriculture Department said farmers nationwide have put in the secondlargest corn crop in nearly seven decades. Record-high prices for corn have encouraged farmers to use more acres for the crop and less for soybeans and wheat. “Thirty years ago, this would not have been an option,” Mark Wachtman, president of the Ohio growers association, told The Dispatch. “Technology, such as using GPS to guide planting, allows us to plant quickly and do it right the first time. “Also, biotech seeds make it possible to have a shorter growing season during adverse weather conditions.” Farmer Fred Yoder of Plain City said he planted his corn crop over four days in early June. “The weather so far has been good,” he said. “I’ve never seen corn grow this fast. ... Usually it’s waist high now, but there is still a good chance that we’ll get a good crop.” Wheat farmers have also made a rebound, and the USDA estimates they have planted more crops than last year. In Ohio, the department said, 890,000 acres were planted with wheat this season, compared with 780,000 acres in 2010. Pierce Paul, an Ohio State Extension specialist and plant pathologist, said the crops still may not fare well. “This has not been the best season for wheat,” he said in a statement. “Farmers faced everything from flooded wheat fields and disease issues to prevented spring nitrogen applications because of the severity of conditions.” 3 accused of selling fake amusement park tickets MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) — Three people accused of making and selling fake tickets to an Ohio amusement park have been arrested on theft and forgery charges. Middletown police say the two men and woman arrested Thursday were making and selling counterfeit tickets to Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky in northwest Ohio. Authorities discovered the alleged scam after a man who police say paid $220 for fake tickets in a store parking lot discovered they were counterfeit when arriving at the park. Police say another person in Middletown paid $175 for fake tickets. Cedar Point spokesman Robin Innes says the arrests came after a three-week investigation during which some victims helped park authorities trace the sales to southwest Ohio, where Middletown police became involved. �Sunday, July 3, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Obituaries Dick Ash Dick Ash, 84, of Syracuse, Ohio, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus, at the Overbrook Center on July 1, 2011, after an extended illness.

Imagine you’re enjoying a nice Independence Day holiday weekend on the Ohio River, tooling along with family and friends on your pontoon boat, and then suddenly getting whacked in the head by a 40-pound fish that seemingly appears out of nowhere. Sound like a farfetched scenario? Well, for the time-being it is, but it might not always be the case. Some readers have perhaps read of the Asian carp, particularly the bighead carp or silver carp, that have spread their way into portions of the Mississippi River watershed — which includes the Missouri and Ohio rivers — where they have been causing a bit of ecological and even some physical mayhem. The bighead carp and the silver — or flying carp — were introduced into southern states for controlling algae in catfish farm lagoons, or for food fish. However, as is almost always the case, the fish managed to escape into the native ecosystem where they out-compete native fish by growing fast and reproducing quickly — essentially eating native species out of house and home while growing too big to be food themselves. The recent flooding in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers may aggravate the situation by furthering the spread of these fish. The bighead carp is a "filter feeder" with a large, scale-less head, a large mouth and eyes located very low on the head. In the Mississippi River watershed they can get up to about 40 pounds in weight, but in their native habitat they In the Open Jim Freeman get substantially bigger. Its cousin the silver carp, also a filter feeder, is the one you may have seen on television or on the internet jumping crazily from the water as boats motor past. These fish also can grow to about 40 pounds, but they can also jump up to 10 feet into the air. It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that a 40 pound fish jumping into a boat going 15 miles an hour — or faster — has the potential to cause some serious injury. Since these fish are filter feeders they don’t take bait, but are occasionally shot by bowfishermen or snagged with weighted treble hooks. The silver carp has spawned a sort of niche industry, extreme aerial bowfishing, where archers on boats attempt to skewer these fish in the air. There are also videos of people walloping these fish with baseball bats, garbage can lids and even an armored water skier flailing about with a sword. I am not generally one to claim the sky is falling, but it pays to be aware of the possible threats. The IllinoisIndiana Sea Grant has published a list of things boaters can do to help protect themselves. Most of them are common sense, but of the I- didn’t-think-about-that sort such as protect your throttle controls (if the throttle is hit by a flying carp, your boat may accelerate rapidly), clip the kill-switch to your clothing (in case you get knocked unconscious or get knocked out of the boat), protecting valuable equipment from flying carp and not water-skiing, tubing or jet-skiing in infested waters. As of now, biologists don’t seem to agree if the Asian carp can reproduce in northern waters or in the Great Lakes, but they do agree that they don’t want to find out the hard way. Currently the Chicago River is considered the front-line in the battle of keeping these fish out of the Great Lakes, but if they are capable of migrating and spreading up the Ohio River there are other backdoor routes into the Great Lakes such as the Ohio River/Muskingum R i v e r / L o n g Lake/Cuyahoga River Route. As always, anglers and boaters can help prevent the spread of non-native, invasive species by not transporting bait fish from one body of water to another, and by thoroughly cleaning out their livewells, boats and motors to keep from inadvertently transporting non-native species. But in the meantime, have a happy Independence Day weekend. Jim Freeman is wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Rio Grande holds ‘Hard Work’ Basketball Camp TIMES-SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The boys’ summer basketball camp at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College continues to attract more players from around the region every year. The basketball camp, which was held June 1924, is one of several ath- letic, musical and other camps held at Rio Grande every summer. “This was our largest basketball camp ever,” explained Ken French, head coach of the men’s basketball team at Rio Grande. The camp is for boys between the ages of 9 and 16, and 276 players from around the region participated this year. Jared Kennedy, 12, of Meigs County, said that he likes the way the coaches challenge the players and he liked playing in so many games. Justin Ross of Huntington works as an athletic trainer and helps out at the camp every year. “I love this camp,” Ross said. “It’s the Hard Work Camp.” The camp is known as the Hard NFL lockout already hurting fantasy companies LAS VEGAS (AP) — The NFL lockout has led Bruce Taylor to take some painful steps: He has scrapped publication of a fantasy football magazine that sold 161,000 copies last year, laid off an employee and took out a home equity loan. Although players and owners are still trying to figure out how to divide $9.3 billion in revenue and save the regular season, it’s already too late for some of those who make their living from the widely popular fantasy football industry. Usually by now, thousands of the estimated 24 million people who play fantasy football each year have already begun preparing for their leagues of made-up teams, with fortunes resting on real-life individual performances of their favorite NFL stars. But as NFL franchises and players skip offseason workouts and free agents go unsigned amid the labor unrest, companies that depend on fans poring over statistics and incremental personnel moves to form their fantasy teams have had to cope with the reality of lost revenue. The fantasy football industry brings in about $800 million a year. While everyone involved hopes that most of that money will still be there if the NFL resolves its labor dispute, some — including magazines that help fantasy players select their teams — are already declaring 2011 a lost year. “We’ll be lucky if we make one-third of what we make in a normal year,” said Taylor, the 46-year-old co-owner of Seattle-based Fantasy Index Magazine, Inc., which is not publishing its Fantasy Football Index magazine for the first time in 25 years. “It’s tough because we’ve had to lay somebody off — I’ve got another employee that I should lay off but I don’t have the heart. We’re a small company,” Taylor told The Associated Press. “I try and be philosophical about it because when you hitch your wagon to somebody else’s horse, you’re going to take your lumps.” “It’s a lot of money — they should fight over it — but I wish they’d fight over it faster,” he said. About 32 million people in the United States and Canada play fantasy sports each year, a number that has grown 60 percent in the last four years, according to an Ipsos Public Affairs poll commissioned by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, the industry’s largest trade group. In fantasy sports, participants assemble teams made up of real players and gauge success on how well those players perform in actual games, sometimes putting money on the line against their opponents. Football is by far the most popular fantasy sport, though players participate in leagues year-round for many sports. The pastime’s popularity has become far more visible recently, with high profile players like Maurice Jones-Drew bragging about drafting themselves, a cable sitcom called “The League” that follows friends playing together, and an entire pregame show on ESPN dedicated to fantasy roster decisions. Paul Charchian, the trade group’s president, said companies aren’t as jittery now as they will be in August without a resolution (although the NFL and its players are working this week to come to an agreement). Even now, Charchian says, they are already starting to see lost business. “It’s still June, but normally right now, revenue is already starting for the football season,” he said. “Once hockey and basketball end, a lot of people start turning their attention to football.” Charchian said his company, LeagueSafe, which lets fantasy owners pay league fees online, has seen less than half the revenue so far this year than it had collected at the same point last year. Taylor said his company is down to the equivalent of four full-time employees from six last year, with one layoff and another unfilled vacancy. To keep Fantasy Index operating, Taylor and his business partner took out home equity loans a few weeks ago, he said. “If we crash the ship into the rocks, we can at least have lines of credit to get it afloat again,” Taylor said. Charchian said the industry has about 150 companies, including 15 publishers printing 25 magazines. Most are not printing this year, including those run by larger companies, including ESPN, he said. CBSSports.com, an online arm of the CBS television network, has begun offering fans partial or full refunds depending on how many games are played this season. One possible result of the lockout is that the NFL could play a shortened season. That would throw off fantasy leagues, which usually schedule playoffs that coincide with the final games of the NFL’s regular season. The offer from CBS Sports promises players a prorated refund of league fees if games go unplayed, with a full refund if more than half the season is lost. A spokesman for CBS Sports declined comment. Charchian said nearly all fantasy sports companies have been adjusting to try to keep players from hesitating to organize leagues. “Companies don’t necessarily want to say, ‘Were not taking any money right now,’” Charchian said. “They’d rather take the money and then offer a refund.” Chris Fargis, a 31year-old options trader from New York who plays in about four fantasy leagues each year, said he’s not worried about the NFL lockout in terms of picking up fantasy winnings, but he’d hate to miss out on the games that bring him together with friends. “Football season, and a big part of that being fantasy football, is a really fun thing that we all enjoy,” Fargis said. “The social element of it is so big for me.” Taylor said Fantasy Index plans to release versions of its information through the company’s website, and he thinks most armchair players will come back to the magazine next year. “I don’t care who wins or who loses” the lockout, he said. “As long as they get it resolved by next year — and hopefully by this year. Everybody wants football.” Work Camp because the coaches make the players work hard and keep them busy all week long. “Here at this camp there is one main focus, getting better at the game of basketball as much as you can,” Ross said. He added that he enjoyed working with the kids and the coaches all week and said the camp was very successful. French agreed that the camp is focused on hard work and basketball, but said there is one other main goal for the week for the campers. The Rio Grande camp is a great opportunity for young players to work with coaches from Rio Grande, as well as other college and high school coaches from around the region. Rio Grande play- ers also assist at the camp. The campers become better players, become more mature and have a great time during the week. The highlight of the week is the triple-elimination tournament held at the end of the week. It is believed to be the only triple-elimination tournament held in the country at a camp. Indians put closer Perez on bereavement list CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cleveland Indians put closer Chris Perez on the bereavement list for the start of their weekend series against the intrastate rival Cincinnati Reds. Perez went to Florida following the death of his grandmother. He's 19 of 20 in save opportunities, having converted his last 13 in a row. The Indians expect him back for the final game of the series on Sunday. The Indians called up right-hander Josh Judy from Triple-A Columbus. Judy was 2-2 with 12 saves and a 3.30 ERA in 27 appearances for Columbus. He was with the Indians from May 21-25 and made his debut against the Reds, pitching one scoreless inning before being sent back to the minors. Please!!

Moments later, he knelt and kissed the Centre Court grass, while his entourage bounced giddily in unison, huddling in a tight circle up in Djokovic’s guest box. Clearly, it meant so much to all of them that Djokovic beat 12th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-7 (9), 6-3 Friday in an entertaining and engaging semifinal filled with diving volleys and showmanship. What would mean even more: If Djokovic, who is 47-1 in 2011, can beat defending champion Rafael Nadal for the title Sunday at the All England Club. As a kid in war-torn Serbia, Djokovic recalled, “I was always trying to visualize myself on Sunday, the last Sunday of Wimbledon. Being in the Wimbledon final — it’s ‘the thing’ for me.” Top-seeded Nadal extended his winning streak at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 20 matches by ending the latest so-close-yet-sofar bid by a British man at Wimbledon, eliminating No. 4 Andy Murray 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. It’s the third consecutive year Murray has lost in the semifinals. The last British man to win Wimbledon was Fred Perry in 1936, and the last to even reach the final was Bunny Austin in 1938; since then, the host country’s men are a combined 0-11 in semifinals. “I feel sad for Andy,” said Nadal, who showed no signs of being hampered by the aching left heel that he’s numbing with painkilling injections as he seeks a third Wimbledon championship and 11th Grand Slam trophy overall. No matter Sunday’s result, the Spaniard will be overtaken in the ATP rankings Monday by twotime Australian Open champion Djokovic, who’ll rise from No. 2. It will be the first time since February 2004 that a man other than Roger Federer or Nadal has been No. 1. “Both of them are incredibly consistent with their success and so dominant the last couple years. They don’t give you a lot of chances to become No. 1,” said the 24-year-old Djokovic, beaten in last year’s U.S. Open final by Nadal. “So I guess you need to lose only one match in seven months to get there. If you can do that, then well done.” Yes, Djokovic deserves to hear a “Well done!” or two for his surge, which he says stems in part from the confidence and pride he gained while leading Serbia to its first Davis Cup title in December. His two wins against France during the final series at Belgrade started a 43-match streak that ended with a semifinal loss to Federer at the French Open a month ago. Otherwise, Djokovic has been perfect. He won the first seven tournaments he entered this year — including the Australian Open in January — and beat Nadal in four finals. “His total game is really complete,” said Nadal, who is 16-11 against Djokovic, including 5-0 at Grand Slam tournaments. “Good serve, very good movements. ... His eyes are very fast, and he can go inside the court very easy playing very difficult shots.” That sounds like a pretty accurate scouting report for Nadal, too. He, though, was merely very good at the outset against Murray, who was downright excellent while winning the first set with high-risk, high-reward shotmaking and nearly perfect serving. Yet their semifinal changed complexion completely early in the second set, with Murray ahead 2-1, and Nadal serving at 15-30. On his heels, Nadal sent back a floater that should have set up an easy winner, but Murray flubbed a forehand, pushing it long. Instead of a break point for Murray, it was 30-all, and the Scot missed forehands on the next two points, too, starting a seven-game run for Nadal. “Probably,” Nadal said, “the turning point of the match.” Murray’s take? “I was going for it,” he explained. “Against Rafa, you have to go for big shots. I slightly over-hit that one.” As Nadal seized control — making a hard-tobelieve total of three unforced errors in the last three sets, 28 fewer than his opponent — all those cries of “Come on, Andy!” from some of the 15,000 or so of Murray’s flag-waving countrymen in the stands began to morph from words of support to words of supplication. “It’s tough. But I’m giving it my best shot each time. I’m trying my hardest. That’s all you can do,” said Murray, a threetime runner-up at other major tournaments. “I can’t explain exactly how I feel.” Djokovic had trouble explaining his joy after joining Tsonga in putting on quite a display in Friday’s first semifinal. The highlight-reel points were numerous, starting in the sixth game, AP photo Serbia's Novak Djokovic leaps in the air during the match against South Africa's Kevin Anderson at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on Thursday. when Tsonga dove to his right for a forehand volley that Djokovic stretched to volley back. Somehow, Tsonga sprang up in time to knock home a volley winner, drawing a smile and applause from Djokovic. Tsonga walked toward the Royal Box — where past Wimbledon champions Bjorn Borg and Goran Ivanisevic were among the guests — and raised his arms overhead, basking in the raucous applause. At 1-1 in the third set, both players wound up on the turf, with Tsonga diving to his left for a backhand volley, Djokovic sprawling as he stretched for a shot, and Tsonga then launching himself back to his right for another tumble, only to see his last shot land long. Four games later, they were at it again, with both men ending up face-down on the grass. “This is the only surface you can really dive,” Tsonga observed, “because on the others, if you dive, you go directly to the hospital.” In the end, the outcome hinged on Djokovic’s steadiness — he made only 13 unforced errors, 16 fewer than Tsonga — and a remarkable ability to extend points, often sliding as if there were clay underfoot, his legs nearly doing the splits. “I can beat everybody today, but not Djokovic,” said Tsonga, who upset six-time champion Federer in the quarterfinals, “because he just played unbelievable. He was everywhere.” On Wednesday, Tsonga became the first man to overcome a two-set deficit against Federer in a Grand Slam match, and he dug himself that same hole against Djokovic. But when Tsonga saved two match points — with an overhead winner, then a 123 mph ace — en route to winning the third-set tiebreaker, suddenly this match no longer seemed so lopsided. “I tried to talk to myself on the changeover between sets,” Djokovic would say later, “and tried to focus and be calm and hold my emotions, not allow him to come back.” Djokovic is quite an excitable character, one who gained attention a few years back with his spot-on impersonations of top tennis players — YouTube is filled with clips of him lampooning Nadal and others — and whose temper occasionally flares, such as when he mangled a racket by whacking it on the ground three times during a match last week. He also used to run into problems in the latter stages of majors, either because of a dip in play or quitting because of injuries or allergy problems, and was 0-2 in Wimbledon semifinals before Friday. But against Tsonga, he collected himself at the start of the fourth set, taking the first eight points and a 2-0 lead with a service hold, then break. Soon enough, Djokovic was closing out the victory with a 118 mph service winner — the serve is the part of Djokovic’s game that’s improved the most this year — then reveling in the moment. “When I finished the match, I didn’t know how to show my emotions. I was really happy. This is one of those moments where you can’t describe it with the words,” Djokovic said. “You remember all your career, all your childhood, everything you worked for.” Jamison: NBA players more unified than in ‘98 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Antawn Jamison was stunned in 1998 when he stumbled into the last NBA lockout as a rookie. He found the players disorganized, uninformed and unprepared for what lay ahead. “You had guys saying one thing and you had other guys going behind their back and saying another thing,” Jamison said. “The owners knew then they eventually would buckle.” Now one of the few players still active who experienced the last work stoppage, the Cleveland Cavaliers veteran forward senses a different atmosphere. It’s why just as the NBA was officially announcing Thursday night it was locking out its players, Jamison predicted the labor dispute will either be settled before games are missed — or the entire season will be lost. “I think in ‘98-99, we didn’t think it would be a long, drawn out process,” Jamison said after speaking to children at a school in his hometown. “Just the unity, the guys understanding what we’re facing and what we’re up against is totally different than what it was when I first got into the league.” Nearing the end of his career and due one of the largest salaries in the league next season — about $15 million — Jamison would have plenty to lose if next season is wiped out. But Jamison insists there’s unity from the rookie draft picks to the league’s stars. “You’ve got the LeBron Jameses and the Dwyane Wades and all those guys who are really taking a stand and being a face of this movement,” Jamison said. “I think back then we really didn’t have the superstars that were together as the superstars are now. I think it’s making a difference.” Jamison said the NBA Players Association is already setting up gyms around the country where players will be able to work out and get instruction and treatment. He said players are constantly getting updates from the union and there was a strong push that started “three or four years ago” to get players to save money and prepare for the worst. “Let’s be honest, there are going to be guys who did it and there are going to be guys who didn’t,” Jamison said. “You’re going to hear stories about guys that didn’t save their money and so forth, but I think collectively guys have done a good job being prepared for this lockout.” Jamison indicated that wasn’t the case after he left North Carolina a year early and was the fourth overall pick in the draft before being traded to Golden State. “You were on your own,” Jamison said. “We weren’t prepared for it and I didn’t know what to do.” Jamison said he worked out at North Carolina, but when an agreement finally was reached in January, he wasn’t prepared for the rushed start a 50-game season. It showed, as he averaged just 9.6 points before doubling that total in the full season that followed. “It was probably the worst ever. I wasn’t mentally prepared for it,” Jamison said of his rookie year. “It was just one of those things that was a tough process and it definitely affected me throughout that season.” Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B5 NBA lockout begins as sides fail to reach new deal NEW YORK (AP) — The memories of a thrilling NBA season might have to last for a while. There’s no telling when basketball will be back. The NBA locked out its players early Friday when its collective bargaining agreement expired, becoming the second major pro sport shut down by labor strife. The players and owners remained far apart on just about every major issue, from salaries to the salary cap, revenues to revenue sharing. “We had a great year in terms of the appreciation of our fans for our game. It just wasn’t a profitable one for the owners, and it wasn’t one that many of the smaller market teams particularly enjoyed or felt included in,” Commissioner David Stern said. “The goal here has been to make the league profitable and to have a league where all 30 teams can compete.” It is believed to be only the second time that two leagues have been shut down simultaneously by labor problems. In 1994, both the NHL and MLB were idle from October through the end of the year. The NHL locked out its players from October 1994 until midJanuary 1995 and reduced the 1994-95 season from 84 games to 48. MLB endured a 232-day strike from August 12, 1994 until April 2, 1995, which led to the cancellation of the entire 1994 postseason and World Series. The NBA’s long-expected lockout puts the 201112 season in jeopardy and all league business on hold — starting with the free agency period that would have opened Friday. The NBA’s summer league in Las Vegas already has been canceled, and teams were prohibited from having any contact with their players. The lockout comes exactly one year after one of the NBA’s most anticipated days in recent years, when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the rest of the celebrated class of 2010 became free agents. That free agency bonanza — highlight by the James, Wade, Chris Bosh trio in Miami — got the league started on a season where ticket and merchandise sales, ratings and buzz were all up. That success contradicted the owners’ argument that the system was broken beyond repair, but it also demonstrated why they wanted changes, with Stern saying owners feel pressured to spend as much as possible to prove their commitment to winning to fans. LeBron’s move to Miami and Dirk Nowitzki’s title in Dallas couldn’t hide a simple fact: Owners insisted they were losing money, perhaps $300 million this season, and weren’t interested in subsidizing a system they felt guaranteed they’d keep losing more. The last lockout reduced the 1998-99 season to just a 50-game schedule, the only time the NBA missed games for a work stoppage. “I think we’re either going to not miss any games or we’re going to miss the whole season,” said Cleveland Cavaliers veteran forward Antawn Jamison, a rookie during the last NBA lockout. But union chief Billy Hunter Hunter said it’s too early to be concerned about that. “Obviously, the clock is now running with regard to whether or not there will or will be a loss of games,” Hunter said. “I’m hoping that over the next month or so that there will be sort of a softening on their side and maybe we have to soften our position as well.” Hunter said he hopes the two sides will meet again in the next two weeks, after the union has looked at some additional documents it requested. The players’ association seems unlikely, at least for now, to follow the NFLPA’s model by decertifying and taking the battle into the court system, instead choosing to continue negotiations. Hunter said last week he felt owners believe the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, which is debating the legality of the NFL’s lockout, will uphold employers’ rights to impose lockouts. Despite a three-hour meeting Thursday and a final proposal from the players — which NBA leaders said would have raised average player salaries to $7 million in the sixth year of the deal — the sides could not close the enormous gulf between their positions. “The problem is that there’s such a gap in terms of the numbers, where they are and where we are, and we just can’t find any way to bridge that gap,” union chief Billy Hunter said. Owners want to reduce the players’ guarantee of 57 percent of basketball revenue and weren’t moved by the players’ offer to drop it to 54.3 percent — though players said that would have cut their salaries by $500 million over five years. They sparred over the league’s characterization of its “flex” salary cap proposal — players considered it a hard cap, which they oppose — and any chance of a last-minute deal was quickly lost Thursday when league officials said the union’s move was in the wrong direction financially. “I don’t think we’re closer; in fact it worries me that we’re not closer. We have a huge philosophical divide,” Stern said. The NBA appeared headed this route from the start of negotiations. Owners took a hard-line stance from the start, with their initial proposal in 2010 calling for a hard salary cap system, reducing contract lengths and eliminating contract guarantees, as well as reducing player salary costs by about $750 million annually. Though the proposal was withdrawn after a contentious meeting with players at the 2010 AllStar weekend, the league never moved from its wish list until recently, and Hunter said he believes negotiations never recovered from that rocky beginning.

Cromley was recently selected as the W.Va. Coach of the Year by the state coaches association. Pictured with Cromley are (from left) County Administrator John Gerlach, Commissioner Rick Handley, Commissioner Miles Epling and Commissioner Bob Baird. Wahama’s Cromley named state Coach of the Year Mason County Commissioners recognize Cromley for feat BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM For Head Coach Ed Cromley and the Wahama White Falcons the 2010 football season was a historic one. The White Falcons made their first trip to the state title game, completed an undefeated regular season and earned the TVC Hocking title in their first season as a league member. For Cromley, the historic run earned him the TVC Hocking Coach of the Year award and, more recently, the W.Va. Coaches Association Football Coach of the Year award. The state award is presented annually to one coach among all three classes. On Thursday, Cromley was recognized by the Mason County Commissioners for his achievements at the helm of the Red and White. The Commissioners congratulated Cromley on his award, the outstanding 2010 season and outstanding coaching career he has put together at Wahama. Cromley received the state award during the North-South Football game held in Charleston, W.Va., on June 18. Cromley joined 11 other coaches from around the state to receive the honor in their respective sport. “It was a great surprise, just a fantastic honor to be chosen among all the head coaches in the State of West Virginia for football,” said Cromley. “It’s got to be a reflection on the assistant coaches that I’ve had and the players even from many past years that have had the experience. I can’t just be given to one person; it’s got to be a group acceptance.” The head coach — in his 16th season — earned coaching victory 120 for his career at Wahama in the final game of the 2010 regular season against Buffalo. This past season marked the 11th playoff appearance for Wahama under Cromley, and the third time his teams have reached the final four. Cromley’s postseason record moved to 11-11 all-time with the state championship loss to Wheeling Central Catholic. Cromley and the White Falcons will open the 2011 season on September 2, as they host TVC Hocking foe Trimble. Indians hit 3 HRs in rout of Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Three innings, three Cleveland homers. Justin Masterson had waited a long time for something like that to happen. Savor it? Absolutely. Grady Sizemore hit the first of Cleveland’s three homers off Bronson Arroyo, and the Indians remained perfect against their intrastate rival, beating the Cincinnati Reds 82 on Friday night. Cleveland is 4-0 against Cincinnati, which has struggled mightily against the American League. The defending NL Central champs are 5-11 in interleague play and have lost their season series to Cleveland for the first time since 2005. “We took the series, and hopefully we can take a few more games,” Masterson said. Masterson (6-6) went eight innings for his first win since April 26. He allowed four hits, including the first of Brandon Phillips’ two solo homers. The long drought was mainly a function of Cleveland’s offense. The Indians scored only 22 runs in his last 11 starts and were shut out twice. “He understood,” manager Manny Acta said. “The pitching coach and myself let him know he was pitching great, but it’s a team effort and he can’t control what we did offensively.” Sizemore hit his first homer since June 8 to start the early rally. Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana also connected, giving Masterson room to maneuver for a change. “He’s been great all year,” Sizemore said. “The biggest thing has been the offense scoring runs for him.” The Indians swept Cincinnati in Cleveland from May 20-22, when they were at the peak of their startlingly strong start. That sweep pushed their AL Central lead to a season-high seven games. It’s been a struggle since. Following their 30-15 start, the Indians dropped 22 of their next 34, a swoon that knocked them out of first place. The Reds? They have stagnated within a few games of .500 since that sweep in Cleveland, unable to put together a winning streak or measure up against the AL. They got manhandled again. Sizemore’s eighth homer got the Indians going in the second inning. He later added an RBI double off Arroyo (77), who gave up eight runs in 4 2-3 innings. The right-hander has allowed seven homers in his last two starts and 24 homers overall, most in the NL. “It’s been a strange year for me as far as feeling up and down on the mound,” Arroyo said. Arroyo seemed to have an advantage going in: Shin-Soo Choo was out of Cleveland’s lineup with a broken left thumb. Choo hit four homers off Arroyo last season — the most by any batter off the same pitcher in the majors. And, with no designated hitter available, the Indians’ lineup also was missing Travis Hafner. No matter. The Indians pounced on his misplaced pitches just the same. Arroyo gave up four homers — tying his career high — in a 10-5 victory in Baltimore on Saturday. The Indians kept the trend going, giving Masterson a chance to get that longawaited win. “The way it’s been going lately on my part, I’m pretty happy with,” Masterson said. “You can’t let the score dictate how you pitch, but it’s nice to see those runs on the board.” Sizemore hit a down- Hot dog champion eats 20K calories NEW YORK (AP) — Hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut estimates he eats about 20,000 calories in one shot at food competitions, but he says his doctor doesn’t mind. “In the long run I’m really not consuming that many more calories than most people,” the four-time Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest champion said Friday at an appearance ahead of the yearly Fourth of July eat-off. “I run. I really try to stay healthy. I count my calories rigorously when I’m not doing the contests.” The San Jose, Calif., resident said that at 27, he’s young enough to get away with his competitive binging for a few more years. His doctor checks his blood work and has told him not to worry as long as he gives himself time to recover, doesn’t gain weight and doesn’t develop diabetes, Chestnut said. Chestnut is 6’1” and weighs 218 pounds. A physically active man of his age, weight and height should be eating 3,200 calories a day to maintain his weight, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2009, the contest’s reigning champion set a world record when he ate 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. This is the first year Nathan’s is holding a separate eat-off for women. Sponsor Pepto Bismol has created ornate championship belts for the winners — one in mustard yellow and one in pepto pink. the-middle, two-strike pitch for a solo homer. Cabrera added a two-run shot in the third, and Santana homered two pitches later for a 4-0 lead. By contrast, Masterson has been adept at keeping the ball down and in the park. Phillips led off the fourth with only the fourth homer allowed by the right-hander this season — the first by a righthanded batter. It ended his streak of 36 1-3 innings without giving up a homer. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL commissioner and the boss of the league’s locked-out players stood together this week and addressed the league’s rookies, a picture of cooperation that raised hopes pro football would soon be back in business. This, however, is the reality: The league’s longest work stoppage has now stretched into July, with gaps that still must be bridged before teams can be assembled and training camps can begin. The next bargaining session has been scheduled for after the holiday weekend, putting the end point of this labor dispute - now well past the 100day mark - ever closer to the preseason. The negotiating teams led by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith met for a couple of hours Friday morning at a Minneapolis law firm with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, following a 15-hour Thursday session that stretched past midnight and gave the negotiators a short night’s sleep. Several people familiar with the situation said the talks would resume Tuesday in New York City. The people all spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because Boylan has ordered the details of the talks to be kept confidential. Goodell, Smith, their colleagues and constituents all appeared in good spirits as they left the office building where they met and either walked away or climbed into black cars waiting by the doors. But they had little to offer for an update. “We’ll continue to meet next week, and the goal is to get a deal done,” Smith said on his way out. Said NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash: “We’ll be back at it again next week.” Friday marked the fourth straight day of discussions, with a handful of owners and players joining their lawyers and leaders for the last two days. The two sides have been trying to figure out how to agree on the division of revenues for this NOTEBOOK $9 billion business that has steadily grown in popularity, power and wealth over the last couple of decades as the NFL has become the nation’s dominant pro sports league. The revenue split, a major sticking point all along and particularly over the last couple of weeks, is considered a domino that must fall for a deal to get done. There are several other issues to iron out as well, since the two sides are essentially creating a new collective bargaining agreement from scratch. The old one expired March 11, and the lockout began the next day. That’s also when the NFLPA declared an end to its union status, a move the owners have protested as strategically convenient and have contested in court. Among the players in Minneapolis this week were Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts and Brian Waters of the Kansas City Chiefs, with Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and John Mara of the New York Giants part of the group of owners. For weeks, owners, players and their representatives have been crisscrossing the country, holding unannounced meetings in spots ranging from a Chicago suburb to the Maryland shore. This week began with optimism stemming from the joint trip Smith and Goodell took to Sarasota, Fla., to address incoming rookies at an orientation symposium Wednesday morning. But they still left Minneapolis without a deal, and time has become more of a factor in this process. Training camps start in about three weeks, with the preseason-opening Hall of Fame game scheduled Aug. 7 between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams. Even missing an exhibition game or two would begin to really cost the league money, not to mention testing the faith of the fans that have made this sport so big. �C1 ALONG THE RIVER Sunday, July 3, 2011 Curator’s Awards PURCHASE AWARD — Karrie Davison, pictured right, representing Holzer Foundation, purchased “Communal Feast” for the Gallia County Convention and Visitors’ Bureau collection, represented by Amanda Crouse, pictured left.
