The poll said SB 5 would be voted out by 24 points, 56 percent to 32 percent. However, like the weather, polls don’t always reflect the outcome and neither do July headlines for a November election — just ask Harry Truman who was “defeated” during his reelection campaign by challenger Thomas E. Dewey. The poll also shows Gov. John Kasich’s popularity numbers continue to fall to an even 50 percent who equally approve and disapprove of the way he’s governing Ohio — those who disapprove of SB 5 are quick to tie Kasich’s falling numbers to the controversial legislation. During a week where anti-SB 5 rhetoric was once again at fever pitch, the pro SB 5 group, ‘Build a Better Ohio’ showed support for the legislation in various statements to media, via spokesperson Jason Mauk. Mauk was quoted as saying ‘Build a Better Ohio’ will campaign for SB 5 because it gives communities tools to create jobs and keep spending under control. As previously reported, on Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said the group ‘We Are Ohio’ collected 915,456 valid signatures, See SB5, A5 OBITUARIES Page A5 • Elizabeth Lohse • Neal D.

The event will be held at the Vinton Community Park following a parade slated to run from Vinton Elementary to the park beginning at 10 a.m. The event, which was once sponsored by members of the Grand Army of Republic, a union veteran organization, is now sponsored by American Legion Post 161. The event commemorates veterans of the Civil War and also serves as a homecoming event for former residents. Live music will be provided by the Coal Valley Ramblers; games, sponsored by the Ladies’ Auxiliary, will be available for the children; and bingo will also be an attraction. This event is one of four such historical events in Ohio.

The brothers will use the twin 50-gallon iron kettles to cook the “mess” of beans and large wooden paddles to stir them. Mystery surrounds disappearances in Mason County BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM SOUTHSIDE, W.Va. — The mystery surrounding the disappearances of three people in Mason County has caused anguish for families, an official police investigation and a grassroots movement to assist in solving the case. Mason County Sheriff David Anthony confirms husband and wife William “Jeff” and Ashley (Baird) Crawford, as well as Ashley’s cousin Tonda (McCarty) Nelson, have been missing since around June 17 and remain missing persons. The Mason County Sheriff’s Office continues to follow up on several leads to solve the case with Anthony explaining there are “a lot of rumors floating around about the case but no factual evidence to prove where they are.” Deputy T. Powell is the lead investigator on the case. Where they are remains the big question. What is known is the Crawford’s mobile home located on Jeffers Ridge in Southside, W.Va. was destroyed by what investigators called a “suspicious” fire in the early hours of June 17. A few days later family members reported the couple missing, Nelson was reported missing shortly afterwards — she was said to have been last seen with Ashley around June 16. Investigators state there’s been no cell phone or bank activity from any of the three individuals since they went missing. The Crawford’s vehicle, which was located by investigators reportedly in Mason County, has been impounded by the sheriff’s office. Investigators are dealing with various scenarios, including: foul play being involved in the disappearances; the trio hiding out from some danger; or the trio starting a new life based on initial reports from family and friends who say the See Missing, A2 Classifieds C2-4 Comics C5 Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

A hearing on Thomas S. Fitch’s motion, filed by his retained counsel, Charles Knight, Pomeroy, will be held Monday in Common Pleas Court, to determine if the evidence was seized illegally. Fitch is charged in a 2011 indictment with illegal manufacture of drugs and possession of drugs. Knight says in his motion that 203 plants seized in August, 2009, during an eradication mission, and a receipt from the sheriff’s department issued to Steve Fitch, cites those plants, a suspected grow light and See Hearing, A5 �Sunday, July 24, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Hot Shooting Funds From Page A1 From Page A1 From Page A1 inviting seniors to spend time with them in their airconditioned locations. Alva Clark, director of the Meigs Cooperative Parish, is encouraging seniors and others to come at Mulberry Center and suggests they bring games or projects they can work on to pass the time while cooling off in the airconditioned building. The Center is open from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and his invitation is “Come, be cool.” Another place to hang out in air-conditioned comfort is the Meigs Senior Center, open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. At the center food and beverages are always available, there is a variety of things to do and others to make conversation with while cooling down. According to the Red Cross, in recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods. When heat waves are combined with high humidity, seniors are said to be particularly vulnerable to illness. They are being encouraged to take extra precautions not only during this heat wave but for the remainder of the summer when predictions are for periods of high temperatures. Heat-related illnesses can be avoided by taking special precautions, but in the event of an emergency, Ohio EMS Executive Director Jeffrey Learning says “EMS personnel are prepared to respond to heat-related illnesses.” In addition to the elderly, Learning cautioned parents and caregivers to pay close attention to children and anyone suffering from illness. The Division of EMS offers the following tips to follow during times of extreme heat: • Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun. • Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as libraries, schools, movie theaters, shopping malls, and other community facilities. Circulating air can cool the body by increasing the perspiration rate of evaporation. • Eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals. Check on family, friends, and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone. • Drink plenty of water and limit the intake of alcoholic beverages. • Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible. • Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles. • Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day. Take frequent breaks. • If you believe that you or someone may be suffering from heat stress, call 9-1-1 or consult a physician. McCallister and Woods are currently being held in the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville. All three suspects are being charged with first degree murder. Gonzalez’s body was found at approximately 3:10 a.m. on July 11 near the front of his residence located on Huntington Road in Gallipolis Ferry. The victim died of multiple gun shot wounds. According to Detachment Commander Sgt. E. B. Starcher, McCallister allegedly hired Woods and Adkins to beat and rob the victim — a beating that turned into homicide. “The more we worked the case, the more information we received. ... and that lead us to the conclusion that Chad McCallister had a beef with the victim due to a [previous] altercation. ... Chad got Woods and Adkins to go rob and beat the subject up, and that, in turn, lead to a homicide,” Starcher said. The Mason County Detachment took the lead on the case Tuesday, and during a press conference on Wednesday, the state police asked for assistance from the public in identifying a “vehicle of interest” that would help them gather further information about the case — information that later aided in the apprehension of the three suspects. According to Starcher, investigators are no longer seeking information regarding this vehicle. Officials have not released further details on a motive surrounding the murder, and, although lead investigator Cpl. B. L. Keefer described Gonzalez as a person involved in the “drug world” during Wednesday’s press conference, he emphasized that the victim’s criminal history could in no way justify recent events. “What Mr. Gonzalez did up to this point is what he did,” Keefer said Wednesday. “No one deserved to die the way that Mr. Gonzalez died. Regardless of his vocation, regardless of his history, no one deserved to be murdered.” After days of intense investigation, Starcher praised the dedication of Keefer and state police investigators, as well as other local law enforcement officials who aided in this case. “They grabbed this case and they worked hard on it. They worked straight through, and a lot of thanks goes out to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Department,” Starcher said. “The Gallia County Sheriff’s Department was impeccable. They were very crucial to solving this case, as well as the Point Pleasant Police Department and the Mason County Sheriff’s Department. ... All agencies were working together, and we ended up having a good outcome thus far.” ject, along with the purchase of the nearby Cox property, will total approximately $2.6 million — an amount that is subject to change based upon various factors. The city will borrow funding for the project and will make bi-annual payments over a 25 year period. A 25 year long for $2.6 million dollars with an estimated 5.21 interest rate would incur a bi-annual payment of approximately $90,000. According to Evans, the special project fund is set aside from a portion of fees paid to the court. The fund can be used for a variety of projects and have been used to purchase supplies and equipment and for other projects. “It can be used for anything really that the court needs,” Evans said. “The bulk of it, though, in my mind, has always been reserved for the building. ... There’s no questions that we spend out of there for computers and other things that we need, but we’ve been trying to save some money so when we got to this, we’re able to help out.” Additionally, Evans reported that she will use $250,000 from the special projects fund to purchase a security system and court furnishings, as well as a generator for the justice center that will insure the continued operation of the entire facility in the event of power loss. The Gallipolis Municipal Court moved to its current home at 49 Olive Street in May 2010 and Evans reported that she is thankful to have the Olive Street facility but is looking forward to moving to the new justice center in an environment suited to the court’s needs. “I’d like to thank the city commission for being willing to move ahead on this. ... We’ve tried to make due [with our facilities] and, even, right now, we don’t have attorney conference rooms, although though this building is much better than what we had before,” Evans said. “It’s going to be an asset for the community to have a place that everybody in the county who has some kind of dealings with the municipal court can come and be comfortable and where we can service their needs in an appropriate manner. It’s going to be nice to process everybody respectfully and in a decent building.” The city justice center, which will house the municipal court, city police department and solicitor’s office, will be located at 518 Second Avenue — the former location of the Gallipolis Municipal Building. During a special meeting of the Gallipolis City Commission on Tuesday, Project Engineer Randy Breech reported that the facility may not be completed until July 2012 and not June 2012 as previously reported. “Last winter we discussed the possible run-down on a schedule proposal,” Breech said. “I really think, at this point, our finish up date, instead of June 2012, is probably July of 2012, I don’t think it will really hurt us.” It was also reported by City Manager Randy Finney, that the project is expected to go out to bid the week of July 24. Breech reported that, in order to meet the completion date, a roof will have to be in place at the facility prior to the onset of inclement weather so workers can complete interior construction. “The sooner we go out to bid the better if we are going to make this thing happen by next year,” Breech said. “We’ve got to have that building under roof before, probably, by mid-December or all bets are off.” Bids for the project will be due to the city in early September and Breech reported that he is hopeful that contractors can begin work on the project by mid-September. Reportedly, by approximately 20 companies have shown interest in bidding on the project. “I have been contacted by ... 20 or so companies — only one from Gallia County, all the others are from all over — all very interested in bidding this project,” Breech said. “So, I think we are going to have a lot of bidders. It is going to be interesting to see how it comes out.” Missing From Page A1 Crawfords expressed a desire to leave the area and move south, possibly to South Carolina or Alabama. However, family and friends have obviously become concerned these plans to move were foiled because no one has heard from the Crawfords or Nelson since their disappearances. Jeff’s mother reportedly told the sheriff’s office her son had changed his mind about leaving which has only deepened the mystery as to the trio’s whereabouts. In addition to the investigation being conducted by the Mason County Sheriff’s Office, family members have also begun a grassroots campaign to assist in finding answers to the whereabouts of their loved ones, using flyers and Facebook. The family of Nelson, 27, has flyers on Facebook which describe her as a “mother of three, 5’ 6” tall, 135 pounds, blond hair, blue eyes, last seen with Ashley.” The flyer asks those with information to contact Connie and Johnny McCarty, 304-675-1351. The family of Jeff Crawford, whose 29th birthday was June 29, has been circulating a Facebook post asking that anyone with information on Jeff, Ashley (who is 26 years old) or Tonda can contact them anonymously with their information or tips at PO Box 73, Point Pleasant, WV, 25550. Of course the Mason County Sheriff’s Office remains the lead, official investigative body in this case and personnel are also asking the public call them with information and/or leads at 304-675-0850. SB5 From Page A1 Husted said the group ‘We Are Ohio’ collected 915,456 valid signatures, meeting the necessary requirements to take the issue to voters — petitioners needed 231,147 signatures which means they had 684,309 valid signatures to spare. Husted’s office further stated as part of the total number of signatures needed to place the measure on the ballot, petitioners also needed to collect signatures from at least 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, and within each of those counties, to collect enough signatures equal to three percent of the total vote cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election in 2010. SB 5 petitioners met this requirement in all 88 counties. Communities in urban areas and southeast Ohio had the best turnout in terms of the percentage of signatures gathered to take the issue to voters in November. Meigs County reportedly had 2,499 valid signatures while Gallia County racked up 2,535 valid signatures. Sandy Perry of Gallia County organized the collection of signatures in her area for ‘We Are Ohio’, while Liz Shaw, a resident of Meigs County, was the local ‘We Are Ohio’ organizer who helped collect signatures in her area. “Meigs County has certainly done its part to get SB5 on the ballot as have all the Appalachian Ohio counties,” Shaw said. “I’m especially proud of southeast Ohio as many of the top 30, in terms of percentages, were from our region.” �Sunday, July 24, 2011 Meigs County Calendar A S K D R .

Dining for health with family BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My kids’ school recently made a bunch of changes to the school lunch program, to make it healthier and to encourage the students to eat well. In the process, I realized that when we eat at home, I’m just as guilty as the school was of choosing convenience food. I’ve now learned a bit about nutrition, but I still have trouble finding the time for shopping and cooking healthy meals every day. How can I make it easier for my whole family to eat healthy at home? — P.P. Dear P.P.: Planning high-quality meals for you and your family takes both the knowledge of nutrition that you’ve already gained, as well as the motivation to invest your time in this important endeavor. For those parents who are already overcommitted between work and their kids and attempting to maintain a healthy personal life, investing your time can be one of the hardest things to do, but in this case a little time can go a long way toward making your kids healthier. Convenience may be enticing, but when it comes at the cost of nutrition, it’s not worth it. The key to serving healthy meals and avoiding the temptation of prepackaged junk is in planning menus. When you take the time to plan ahead, you’re less likely to stop at the drive-thru window for a quick dinner fix. You can make up a menu for the whole Dr. Joyce Brothers week on the weekend, and note when you’ll need to stop at the market for fresh ingredients. This can make shopping easier and quicker, and you won’t need to get groceries more than two or three times per week. There are software packages and programs you can find online that make this kind of planning even easier. With the average American family eating fast food four times a week, your attempts to make a positive change for your children will be well appreciated. Dear Dr. Brothers: My parents are firstgeneration Asian immigrants, and both my mother and I are prone to depression. I’ve been treated, but she remains skeptical. I’ve described my therapy to her, but in particular she has a problem with trying to focus on positive emotions and actions. She claims that blocking any emotions only makes her feel worse. Is it possible that our different generations or cultural upbringings could cause this difference? Or is this all just personal? — R.D. Dear R.D.: Depression, and the treatment for it, is extremely personal, and every person experiences symptoms and therapies differently. So, there definitely is a personal component to any effective therapy, and it is part of the job of the therapist to be attuned to each patient’s specific needs. That being said, there do seem to be some large cultural trends that can point us in the right direction. A new study published in the journal Emotion indicates that the cultural differences between Asians and Americans can influence how we should approach therapy for members of these groups. According to this study, psychotherapy that focuses on positive emotions to relieve stress and depression might not be effective for Asians. We have to be careful not to impose Western values onto all patients, and take care to look into not only their personal background, but how this background might be shaped by different cultural norms. For Asians, it may be more beneficial to practice mindfulness, or focus on all emotions — both good and bad — and train the mind to realize that all emotions are fleeting and will dissipate. This “everything passes” mentality is more pervasive in Asian cultural traditions than in the American psyche. The best thing you can do is help your mother accept that she needs treatment specifically tailored to her.

The retailer is liquidating its 399 remaining outlets and letting go nearly 11,000 employees. Gone will be the era when no shopping-mall parking lot in America seemed complete without an adjoining Borders, offering up its capacious aisles to browse for books you had no idea you needed. Nostalgia aside, the extinction of Borders is the very model of a freemarket economy at work. The store fell victim to the unyielding injunction of a truly creative economy: “Adapt, or die.” It failed to keep up with evolving technology and shifting consumer preferences, and so has been forced to make way for more adept competitors. This ruthlessly efficient reallocation of resources took place because Borders wasn’t big or politically connected enough to get a bailout; because its employees didn’t belong to a powerful union favored by the White House; and because it didn’t sell something, like green energy, deemed worthy of taxpayer support. The upshot of the changes that buried the store, and were allowed to unspool without governmental interference, will be cheaper and more readily available books. The story of Borders has been repeated again and again by all the countless American companies that have risen to prominence only to disappear. It started with an inspired innovation only to be overtaken by subsequent innovations. It had an advantage that, in new conditions, became a liability. It lost its footing on the free market’s ceaseless wheel of change. Read about Borders circa 1995 and it is lauded as “a chain that seems as attuned to the new world of technology as the refined old world of literary society.” It had a state-of-the-art inventory system. It stocked its enormous stores with tens of thousands of titles. Borders thrived by providing choice and convenience, two of the pillars of the consumer economy. Then it didn’t recognize quickly enough the new ways of delivering them. It had to rely on Amazon to sell its books online, a boost to the online retailer that would do so much to make the Borders model obsolete. It branched out into sales of CDs and DVDs, an initially profitable move that backfired when the music Rich Lowry industry went digital. It missed out on e-books. Locked into leases at uneconomical locations, its voluminous real estate began to weigh it down. “a chain that seems as attuned to the new world of technology as the refined old world of literary society.” Barnes & Noble, in contrast, developed a website to sell its books online itself and marketed its own e-book reader, the Nook. It secured a prized partnership with Starbucks for the coffee at its cafes. It lost $59 million last quarter, but it’s still standing. In the late 1990s, the romantic comedy “You’ve Got Mail” was built around the heartlessness of a mega-bookstore moving into a New York neighborhood and killing off a small family bookshop. Now, it’s the turn of the mega-bookstores to be eaten, with delivery of a $9.99 e-book just a few clicks away. In a free economy, the top dog always has to run scared. Does anyone fear Microsoft anymore, the behemoth that government spent so much time and energy trying to cut down to size in the late 1990s? The same thing, eventually, will befall Google and, yes, even Facebook. Government exists in an entirely different plane, characterized by stasis and the lack of market or any other kind of discipline. USA Today reports that “federal employees’ job security is so great that workers in many agencies are more likely to die of natural causes than get laid off or fired.” Washington is locked in a debate over whether health-care programs designed in the 1960s can ever be reformed to account for new realities. If Borders were a government agency, its budget would have been fattened up during the past few years, and it’d survive in perpetuity, whatever its merits. (Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@ nationalreview.com) (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate New York Universityʼs School of Continuing and Professional Studies summer students prepare for publishing jobs BY HILLEL ITALIE AP NATIONAL WRITER NEW YORK — Book publishing may be an industry that never stops predicting its own demise or mourning better days, but it remains golden enough for young people such as Lindsay Neff. “It’s the big time, it’s where everything happens,” says Neff, 22, a Stow, Ohio, native who recently graduated from the College of Wooster with a double major in English and philosophy. “I’ve always loved reading and I’ve always loved writing and I’ve always enjoyed analyzing texts. So that’s what really did it for me and made me want to be in publishing.” Neff is among some 100 young women and men who attended the Summer Publishing Institute at New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, where CEOs, editors, booksellers, agents and recruiters give talks and teach seminars, and students immerse themselves in a business that has changed, and not changed, in profound ways. For decades, college graduates eager to break into publishing have been attending programs at NYU, Columbia University (formerly based at Radcliffe College) and the University of Denver. Alumni include publishing executives Morgan Entrekin of Grove/Atlantic and the Weinstein Company’s Judy Hottensen, Alfred A. Knopf editor Gary Fisketjon and HarperCollins sales president Josh Marwell. The programs remain in high demand even through the worst of news about the industry. The decline and impending liquidation of the Borders superstore chain has not deterred NYU student Ben Zarov, a graduate of Grinnell College in Iowa. Borders’ fall makes Zarov “fear that people don’t care about books,” but he still believes that it’s possible to “make things better” and he wants a career in publishing. “It seems like an excellent way to engage in the world of ideas. I like reading and it (publishing) is a way to participate in the national conversation, what people are talking about and what people are reading,” says Zarov, 23 and a native of Portland, Ore. The students share an old-fashioned love of books and a modern willingness to read them in new ways. E-books are now more than 20 percent of the overall market, more than the double the rate of a year ago, and a simple show of hands at NYU demonstrates the advance. On the first day, students were asked who owned e-reading devices; most raised their hands. Last year, only a few did. Publishers and school officials also say students are more business-minded and better informed than a decade ago. Lindy Hess, who directs Columbia’s book program, says most students initially wanted to be editors, but by the end were also considering marketing, sales and other departments. NYU publishing student Darcy Latta, who majored in English literature at the University of Pittsburgh, says she is interested in publicity because she loves how “business departments combine the creative and commercial aspects of the industry.” “When I first met with students, they all wanted to be on the editorial side,” says Jane Friedman, the former CEO of HarperCollins who cofounded the digital publisher Open Road Integrated Media. “Now, they’re all thinking about marketing and even if they want to be an editor eventually, they’re willing to try different things.” “Kids today, they seem to know a lot more about our business than they did 10 years ago,” says Paul Bogaards, director of publicity at the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, a division of Random House Inc. “They have a lot more access to it, through what they read on the Internet. They’re able to get a real-time perspective.” The summer programs have evolved with their students, devoting far more time to digital issues than even a few years ago, but one tradition has lasted: The vast majority of attendees are women. Andrea L. Chambers, executive director of the NYU publishing institute, suspects the reason is part of a larger story about the industry itself. “It’s a very tough question because the trend dates back many years to industries that were more ‘open to women,’ like teaching and nursing,” Chambers says. “All of that is changing, but certain industries are slower to change.” “It’s never surprising to me that there are a lot more women,” says John Sargent, CEO of Macmillan Publishers. “If you look at literature majors, you could guess that most of them are women.” Two principal speakers at the NYU program were men. Tom Allen, president and CEO of the industry trade group the Association of American Publishers, celebrated the book’s ongoing importance and said publishing welcomed “literate, engaged and interesting people.” Perseus Book Group CEO David Steinberger imagined the industry in 2020, when the Internet will enable anyone to be a publisher, but not necessarily to be a good one. “Quality will always matter,” he said. “It actually matters if the book is good.” Students learned about editing, marketing, advertising, design and other parts of the business. They not only were told the basics, but practiced them. They were split up into 10 teams of 10 and asked to develop their own imprints, with industry executives judging the results. Neff was Web director for Monkey Tails Press, specializing in books for children and adults. Zarov served as publicist for Crime Scenes Press, an imprint for true crime books and graphic novels. Latta was named editorial director of Pomegranate Publications. “We wanted to create an imprint for the modern woman that dealt with relationships, but avoided the cliches,” Latta explained. “We developed texts that were humorous, irreverent and edgy that would encourage honest discussions of love, sex and relationships. We chose the title Pomegranate Publications because of the mythological significance of pomegranates, the lush red color and because pomegranates frequently leave permanent stains, just like relationships.” �Sunday, July 24, 2011 Obituaries Local Briefs Elizabeth Lohse Elizabeth Bradford Lohse, 94, Pomeroy, Ohio, passed away on July 21, 2011, at Rocksprings Rehabilitation Center, Pomeroy.

That receipt is expected to be questioned in Monday’s hearing because the plants, Knight says, were not on Fitch’s property, but on adjoining real estate owned by two others. The motion to suppress, filed last month, cites an affidavit filed by Sheriff Robert Beegle, who stated aerial surveillance observed growing marijuana but did not state it was on Fitch’s property. “No marijuana was located on property owned by (Fitch) and the affidavit purposely and knowingly declined to inform the issuing magistrate of the fact that no marijuana was observed on the property owned or occupied by (Fitch). Such intentional misleading of the magistrate causes the affidavit and search warrant issued from it to violate the U.S. and Ohio Constitutions,” Knight wrote. “Any marijuana seized by virtue of the improper and illegal search and seizure executed by the sheriff’s office must be declared to be improperly seized in violation of Fitch’s constitutional rights and must be suppressed from evidence and not used against him.” Knight also cites Ohio criminal law and the Ohio Revised Code as requiring issuance of a receipt for evidence and said no receipt was issued to the property owner from which the plants were seized. Since the marijuana did not belong to Fitch, his lawyer asserts, the receipt was not issued to the property owner from whom the evidence was taken. A mere observation of the county’s official records would immediately have informed the sheriff’s department and their agents of the fact that the marijuana was not on Fitch’s property, Knight said, and he will present photos of boundary line fences to prove property ownership along with plat maps and deed records. Adjoining property owners, named in Knight’s motion to suppress, are among those witnesses Knight said he plans to call at trial, in an answer to discovery he filed June 30. The state did not file a response to Knight’s motions. You’ll Feel Right At Home. Home National Bank is large enough to handle all of your financial needs, but small enough to know your first name.

The rumor mill, however, has both Logan and Chillicothe headed to either the Mid-State League or the Ohio Capital Conference in the near future, while Warren, Jackson, Portsmouth and Gallia Academy are independently headed to either the Tri-Valley Conference, the Southern Ohio Conference, the Muskingum Valley Conference, or the Ohio Valley Conference. To this date, however, only Chillicothe has expressed an open interest in leaving the SEOAL — as CHS Principal Jeff Fisher told The Chillicothe Gazette in late June that the Cavaliers are considering a move to the OCC or MSL after the current contract with the SEOAL expires in 2013. Logan, Jackson and Warren have all stated in recent weeks — for the record — that they have no intentions of leaving the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League. Logan recently listened to a proposal by the MSL, while Warren and Jackson have both applied — and been denied — membership to the TVC in the last four years. That leaves only two schools — Portsmouth and Gallia Academy — to answer what the future holds for their respective athletic programs.

Investigators said they found no evidence that Ohio State failed to properly monitor its football program or any evidence of a lack of institutional control, according to a letter sent to the university and released Friday. NCAA investigators also said they have not found any new violations. “Considering the institution’s rules education and monitoring efforts, the enforcement staff did not believe a failure to monitor charge was appropriate in this case,” the NCAA said in the letter sent Thursday. The notice clearing Ohio State of the most serious of institutional breaches is a big break for the university, which will meet with the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12. That committee could accept penalties Ohio State already placed on itself or could pile on recruiting restrictions, bowl bans and other, stiffer sanctions. Ohio State also will overhaul its compliance office by the end of the year, creating a centralized office that will oversee athletics as well as other university departments, one of its trustees announced Friday. The move will strengthen oversight of all aspects of the university, said trustee Robert Schottenstein. The NCAA also said in its letter released Friday that it investigated a Sports Illustrated report that said nine more players sold memorabilia to the tattoo parlor owner, but confirmed that only one had any dealings with the man.

Tri-County Junior Golf Tour wraps up season BY FRANK CAPEHART SPECIAL TO THE TIMES-SENTINEL POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Tri-County Jr. Golf Tour for 2011 closed the season with the Gala Awards-Fun Day on Monday at Hidden Valley Golf Course. Playing with handicaps as computed from seasonal scoring, it was clear that many of the young golfers had improved during the tour and some fine net scores came from golfers other than the division champs. The best gross scores of the day were posted by Kevin Back, of Hartford, W.Va., with a fine two-over 38, Dakota Sisk, of New Haven, W.Va., at 41 and David Michael, of Crown City, Ohio, at 42. Best net scores included a 26 for Nick Taylor (Point Pleasant, W.Va.), a 29 for Andy Welch (Crown City, Ohio), Gus Slone (Crown City, Ohio) with a 32, Ethan Swain (Crown City, Ohio) with a 34 and David Michael (Crown City, Ohio) with a 35; all under par in the 15-17 age group. In the 13-14 division, Zach Graham (Gallipolis, Ohio) led with a 33 net, Jacob Hoback (Racine, Ohio) had 34, Zack Morris (Vinton, Ohio) netted a 35, and Michael Edelmann (Gallipolis, Ohio) had a 41. Jonathan Burns (Point Pleasant, W.Va.) garnered 34 for low in the 11-12 age group. Addison Stanley (Gallipolis, Ohio) had a 44 and Bryce Tayengco (Point Pleasant, W.Va.) right behind. For the 10-and-under players, Dylan Tayengco (Point Pleasant, W.Va.) and Jasiah Brewer shot 43 a piece, actual, but Brewer won low net with 32. Maddux Camden (Rio Grande, Ohio) had 34 and Tayengco netted 37. After the nine holes of play, lunch was welcomed by all, and then came awarding the prized plaques to the 2011 Division Champions and top finishers. In the premier 15-17 bracket, David Michael (Crown City, Ohio) was champion, ahead of runner-up Boeing Smith (Gallipolis, Ohio). Third place went to Gus Slone (Crown City, Ohio). Champion of the 13-14 age group was Zach Graham (Gallipolis, Ohio), while Michael Edelmann (Gallipolis, Ohio) was runner-up and Jacob Hoback (Racine, Ohio) was third in a tight race. In a very close finish, Bryce Tayengco (Point Pleasant, W.Va.) was crowned champion just ahead of Jared Parissi (Gallipolis, Ohio), while Addison Stanley (Gallipolis, Ohio) was a very close third in the 11-12 division. The 10-and-under group was another title won on the final week by Dylan Tayengco (Point Pleasant, W.Va.), with Jasiah Brewer (Pomeroy, Ohio) a very close second spot, and Maddux Camden (Rio Grande, Ohio) earning the third place spot. WASHINGTON (AP) — The NFL was stuck in a holding pattern Friday as the players studied the owner-approved proposal to end the lockout and tried to determine when — and even whether — to vote on it. As it is, clubs already were being told not to expect players to begin arriving at facilities Saturday, the day owners said gates would open. “Now it’s just waiting,” Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said at an Atlanta hotel where team executives were being briefed on new rules for next season. “Be flexible and wait and see what happens.” The two sides were expected to be in contact as they tried to iron out remaining hang-ups preventing a deal. Owners ratified the tentative terms 31-0 — the Oakland Raiders abstained — on Thursday, provided players would give their OK, too, and re-establish their union. But players decided later Thursday not to hold a vote, saying they hadn’t had a chance to see a finished product. By Friday, it was in hand. “Player leadership is discussing the most recent written proposal with the NFL, which includes a settlement agreement, deal terms and the right process for addressing recertification,” NFL Players Association president Kevin Mawae said in a statement released by the group. “There will not be any further NFLPA statements today out of respect for the Kraft family while they mourn the loss of Myra Kraft.” NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith attended Friday’s funeral in Newton, Mass., for Kraft, the wife of New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft. Even when players decide they’re OK with a final agreement, their approval process is more complicated than the owners’ was. The 32 team reps will have to recommend accepting the settlement. Then the 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ lawsuit against the league — including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — must officially inform the court of their approval. Eventually, all 1,900 players would take a majority vote to approve returning the NFLPA to union status. When talks broke down in March, allowing the old collective bargaining agreement to expire, the players dissolved the union, turning the NFLPA into a trade association. That’s what allowed the players to sue the owners in federal court under antitrust law. Only after the NFLPA is again a union can it negotiate certain parts of a new CBA. Among those items that are of most concern to players: —the league’s personal conduct policy; —drug testing; —benefits, such as pension funds, the disability plan, and the “88 Plan,” which provides money for care of former players with dementia or Please see NFL, B2 �Page B2 • Sunday Times-Sentinel Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis First Place Sunday, July 24, 2011 Second Place Point Pleasant Stadium golf tourney Point Pleasant Stadium Committee’s 2nd Annual golf tourney took place July 3, at Riverside Golf Course, in Mason W.Va. This tourney was to help with Phase 2 of the stadium, Field house, Rest Rooms, Tennis Courts, and Concession Stands. This tournament started out as the “Hell’s Bells tournament”, formed by the Class of 1976, after Coach Dick Ware, because he always said “ Hells Bells……” On some of the holes were famous sayings from the coach. The class asked the Stadium Committee if this could be a fundraiser for the new stadium. Alumni from many years from PPHS supported the tourney with a great turnout. Definitely, it will be even bigger next year and the years to come. Think of it as a mini reunion with your classmates and bring your family and friends. The team coming in first was: Charlie Stearns, Jeremy Vickers, Sammy Ferrell, and Bob Humphreys. Second place went to Scott Hussell, Corey Miller, Derek Yorker, and P. J. Gibbs. Third place went to Mario Liberatore, Tom Dotson, Pat Harbour, Jim Gress. Winners were Longest putt: two holes-Russ Wood, Boo Perry, Mario Liberatore, Longest Drive: B. J. Gibbs, Chris Sommerville, Closest to the pin: Randy Riddle, Chris Sommerville, Rick Tolliver. Make plans now to attend next year weekend of July 1, 2012. SEOAL was also an original charter member of the SEOAL, but left the league for a while before returning to the SEOAL in the fall of 2006. Portsmouth also expressed little interest in leaving the SEOAL, as was noted by current athletic director Joe Albrecht. “We’re happy in the SEOAL. There are good teams and good people, and it’s very organized and very well ran,” Albrecht said. “I hope nothing major is going to happen, I really don’t, because it’s an excellent league and it’s been around for a long time. There’s good competition, there is no question.” As it stands, the SEOAL is preparing for its first season with a six-team format since the league expanded in the fall of 2006. The SEOAL has lost Athens, Zanesville, Ironton and Marietta in the last five years, but that doesn’t mean that the league is in dire straits. In fact, as history as shown, it may be an open door for the SEOAL to explore adding new members to the league — which could be discussed at the monthly SEOAL meeting in August. The important thing in considering new members will come down to enrollment figures. Logan is currently the biggest school in the SEOAL with 913 students (478 boys and 435 girls), while Portsmouth is the smallest with 335 students (179 boys and 156 girls). Chillicothe (339 boys and 367 girls) has 706 students, Warren (356 boys and 320 girls) has 676 stu- Gallia Academy athletic director Craig Wright, upon hearing the rumors that the Blue Devils and Blue Angels are leaving the SEOAL for another conference, said that GAHS has no intentions of departing the league that it has been a part of since its inception in 1925. “Gallia Academy High School is a charter school of the SEOAL and we will proudly continue to be a charter member school,” Wright said in a statement on behalf of the school. Gallia Academy, Jackson and Logan are all charter members of the SEOAL that have been with the league since 1925. Portsmouth NFL from Page B1 Alzheimer’s disease. The major economic framework for a 10-year deal was worked out a week ago. That included how the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues will be divided (about 53 percent to owners and 47 percent to players over the next decade; the old CBA resulted in nearly a 50-50 split); a per-club cap of about $120 million for salary and bonuses in 2011 — and at least that in 2012 and 2013 — plus about $22 million benefits; a salary system to rein in spending on firstround draft picks; and unrestricted free agency for most players after four seasons. Commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners expressed hope Thursday night that their vote would lead to a speedy resolution to the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. They called it an equitable deal that improves player safety and allows the sport to prosper even more. “It is time to get back to football,” a weary Goodell said. Already, one game is sure to be lost: The league called off the Hall of Fame exhibition opener, scheduled for Aug. 7 between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams. dents, Jackson (295 boys and 282 girls) has 577 students and Gallia Academy (258 boys and 245 girls) have 503 students. Possible SEOAL invitees would include schools that are not bigger than Logan and not smaller than Portsmouth. Those pos- sibilities might include Athens (589), Vinton County (534), Waverly (461) and Ironton (335). Only time will tell if the SEOAL is in real trouble, but as for now — the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League is still going strong ... regardless of what some internet folk might have you believe.

It’s much more than just a lost preseason game for the northern Ohio community with deep football roots. The labor dispute between NFL owners and players forced the league to call off the annual Hall of Fame game between Chicago and St. Louis scheduled for Aug. 7. Everything else will go as planned, including the enshrinement on Aug. 6. It’s a financial blow to the Hall of Fame, which could lose about $1.5 million out of its $20 million annual operating budget. And it’s a big loss for the community, which gets more than just a financial boost from the event. Pride also comes into play. “We’re such a football community,” said Joanne Murray, director of the Hall of Fame festival for the local Chamber of Commerce. “From the staff to the man on the street, I doubt you’d find a single person who would say they’re not disappointed. “We’re just going to have to get through this unusual year and embrace the other events.” A day after the game was cancelled, the city was feeling the sting. “We have more than 4,000 volunteers in the community that help with the events,” said Joe Horrigan, a vice president with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “So there are people who have been working very hard with us on game preparation — that’s their event. They’re very disappointed. “But I think it’s more the feeling of losing a little bit of tradition. This is middle America here, and we like tradition. I think that’s part of it.” The Hall of Fame game started in 1962, a year before the building opened. There was no game in 1966, but it has been played every year since. Last year, nearly 20,000 tickets were sold for the enshrinement. The 22,000-seat stadium was packed for a game between Dallas and Cincinnati. An estimated 6 million people watched the enshrinement on television, and the game turned out to be one of the highest-rated shows of the week with 11.4 million viewers. The Hall of Fame gets ticket and merchandise sales from the game, plus increased visits to the museum. The Hall is in the midst of a $27 million renovation to be completed in 2013. It’s offering refunds for game tickets. Ticket sales for the weekend were down compared to other years — roughly 14,000 had been sold for the game and 8,000 for the enshrinement. The 2011 induction class includes Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders and Chris Hanburger. Horrigan attributes the reduced demand to the uncertainty over whether there would be a game. Fans can buy packages that include admission to the enshrinement, the game and other events. “Now that the uncertainty’s gone, we expect a spike,” he said. A survey five years ago by the Chamber of Commerce estimated a $31 million annual impact on the region from the events. “We’re going to have a notable financial impact,” Murray said. Located about an hour’s drive from Cleveland, the city has a rich football history. The Canton Bulldogs were formed early in the 1900s and were coached by Jim Thorpe. They won championships and intertwined the city’s reputation with football. The Hall of Fame game was the first casualty of the labor dispute. Horrigan said attendance at the Hall of Fame has been normal this summer, while players and owners jostled over a contract. “When the Browns left town for Baltimore (in the 1990s) and when there was some labor unrest in the ‘80s, we saw a direct correlation with our business,” he said. “We’ve been fairly consistent (this summer). If we’re down, we’re down more because the cost of gasoline spiked. I feel we have not seen a negative response from our visitors.” Unlike the locals, visitors to the Hall of Fame on Friday didn’t seem to mind losing a preseason game. “Your good pros don’t even play anyway,” said Ed Nettleton, a 43-yearold truck driver from the Chicago area who was watching the NFL Network’s recap of negotiations. “Any of these preseason games are more limited to finding the players you want.” Ed Kusher from Rochester, N.Y., went through the Hall of Fame wearing a Tom Brady jersey. His wife, Julie, wore a John Elway Broncos jersey. Their 6-year-old son, Tyler, also had a Brady jersey. Kusher expects the players and owners to get a final agreement soon. The protracted negotiations haven’t soured him on the NFL. “Not yet,” he said. “If it held up the season, then yes, I’d be real upset.” More Asian carp DNA found near Lake Michigan TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Analysts have discovered more genetic material from Asian carp beyond an electric barrier designed to prevent them from invading the Great Lakes, renewing a debate over the federal government’s strategy for protecting the region’s waters from the voracious fish. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported this week that nine water samples taken in May and June from Chicagoarea waterways contained DNA from silver carp, one of the Asian species threatening to enter the lakes after migrating northward for decades in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. That brings to 81 the number of positive DNA hits beyond the barrier since sampling began in 2009. Hundreds of other samples taken in the area have contained no carp DNA. Still, environmentalists said the findings showed the barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, the manmade linkage between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi basin, isn’t getting the job done. They favor construction of physical barriers to sever ties between the two watersheds. “The Army Corps and a number of other agencies have tried very hard to convince the public that their efforts have gotten the problem under control,” Thom Cmar, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, said Thursday. “It’s clear that there are still some (Asian carp) present in the waterway system and we need to be acting more quickly to permanently solve the problem.’” Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said the federal government needs to speed up its long-range analysis of how best to stop aquatic species from migrating between the Great Lakes and other water systems, where they compete with native species for food and habitat. “We don’t need any more studies,” Schuette said. “We need to act.” John Goss, the Obama administration’s Asian carp program coordinator, told The Associated Press it remains unclear whether the “environmental DNA” findings signal the presence of live fish — and if so, how many. The genetic markers could have come from dead fish or from bilge water picked up by boats on the other side of the barrier, which consists of three separate electric fields, he said. Measuring the effectiveness of the barrier network, about 25 miles from Chicago, is a top priority this year for the government’s Asian carp task force. Technicians have implanted ultrasonic transmitters in 166 fish on both sides of the electric field to trace their movements and none have passed through, Army Corps s p o k e s w o m a n Jacqueline Tate said. Underwater sonar cameras have recorded images of some fish approaching the barrier but none traversing it or even making the attempt, Goss said. “All the information we have is that the barriers are effective,” he said. Seven of the nine water samples that tested positive for silver carp DNA were taken in Lake Calumet on Chicago’s South Side, Tate said. Lake Calumet, linked to a river that flows into Lake Michigan, is where the only live Asian carp found beyond the barrier was netted in June 2010. The other two samples came from the Chicago River. Federal agencies have taken two additional sets of water samples from those areas as required by their “rapid response plan.” Both are being tested to determine whether additional measures such as spreading fish poisons or steppedup commercial netting are needed, a spokeswoman for Goss said. The Army Corps and other agencies are planning to complete their study of possible invasive species solutions — including separation of the Great Lakes and Mississippi basins — in 2015. Critics say that’s too slow. A federal lawsuit filed by Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin demands quicker action. Legislation pending in Congress would require the Army Corps to report within 18 months on the feasibility of separating the two systems. The Alliance for the Great Lakes, an environmental group based in Chicago, urged supporters Thursday to lobby their representatives to support the bill. Experts disagree on how damaging bighead and silver carp would be to the Great Lakes. Some say the aggressive filter feeders, which eat plankton that forms a crucial link in the food chain, would jeopardize the $7 billion fishing industry. Others say the lakes’ cold waters and a lack of suitable food would limit their spread. tHE ST.

PARISH CENTER / LOURDES HALL Sunday, July 24, 2011 Details emerge in baseball beating case LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two men arrested in the beating of a San Francisco Giants fan made incriminating statements that implicated them in the attack, a law enforcement official said Friday. The arrests marked a dramatic development in the case because police previously arrested another man as the main suspect but did not file charges. The official, who has knowledge of the case but spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said police had no forensic evidence linking the new suspects to the case but were confident they have the right men this time. The two men arrested Thursday were identified as Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 30. Both are from San Bernardino County and were booked into Los Angeles police jail on $500,000 bail. The men’s names were first reported by the Los Angeles Times. A woman also was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact. She was later released on bail. Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck did not return numerous phone calls seeking comment on the arrests. Police previously arrested Giovanni Ramirez in the case. He remains in custody for a parole violation. Bryan Stow, 42, was nearly beaten to death by two men after attending the March 31 home opener between the Giants and Dodgers. He remains hospitalized in serious condition. The Times reported that Sanchez and Norwood both have violent pasts. Neighbors, however, described them as friendly, baseball-loving fathers. In March 2006, Norwood was convicted of inflicting bodily injury on a spouse or partner, the Times said, citing court records. Three years earlier, Louie Sanchez was found guilty of the same crime and was sentenced to 30 days in jail, according to the court records. In 2004, Sanchez was convicted of carrying a loaded firearm, while Norwood was found guilty of disturbing the peace in 2000, the records show. PROUD TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE.

Vinton Tigers Boys B-Ball team goes undefeated ALPE D’HUEZ, France (AP) — Luxembourg’s Andy Schleck captured the Tour de France yellow jersey Friday on the famed Alpe d’Huez, setting up a pulsating finish with a weekend time trial and final dash to the Champs Elysees in Paris. Schleck overtook Frenchman Thomas Voeckler on the final day of racing in the Alps, making up a 15-second deficit during a 68-mile, brutally steep stage. “My motivation is super, my legs are good, my condition is there,” Schleck said. “So I’m confident I can keep this till Paris.” Voeckler cracked on the first of three daunting climbs. He never caught the leaders despite a gritty struggle and gave up the yellow jersey after wearing it for 10 days. With the race ending Sunday in Paris, Schleck leads brother Frank by 53 seconds. Australia’s Cadel Evans is third, 57 seconds behind. Frenchman Pierre Rolland captured the 19th stage, rewarding thousands of wildly cheering French fans who packed the finish. He attacked near the end of the mountain’s 21 punishing bends, dropping three-time champion Alberto Contador and Olympic champ Samuel Sanchez. “I grew up watching Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani, watching how they climb the Alpe d’Huez,” Rolland said. “Now I’ve won the Alpe d’Huez. It’s going to take a minute to sink in.” Andy Schleck is considered one of the best climbers. But Evans still has every chance of beating both brothers in Saturday’s 26-mile time trial in Grenoble, the next-to-last stage. The time trial, an indi- vidual race-against-theclock race, has long been Schleck’s weak point. Evans is strong in this discipline, but it will take a superlative performance to make up 57 seconds and spoil the Schlecks’ dream of becoming the first brothers to finish on the winner’s podium together in the Tour’s 108-year history. “Everybody tells me it’s a time trial that suits me good, so I believe everybody and hope to show a good performance tomorrow,” Schleck said. In 2008, Evans beat Schleck by nearly two minutes in a time trial that was about six miles longer. Schleck was only 23 and riding in his first Tour. Since then he has put significant effort into becoming better in the specialty. “Of course, I’d like to take more time going into the time trial,” Evans said. “I’d much rather be in yellow, with five minutes” going into the stage. Evans will follow a simple strategy Saturday: “Start as fast as possible, finish as fast as possible, hope you’re fast enough.” Schleck , who lost the 2010 Tour by just 39 seconds to Contador, made good on Thursday’s promise to claim the yellow jersey. He had missed a chance to take the lead on top of the Galibier pass following a daring solo attack. On Friday, Schleck rode much of the time in a small group alongside Contador. But he chose not to follow the Spaniard when he attacked at the bottom of the 8.5-mile Alpe d’Huez. “I had no interest in chasing Contador or Sanchez,” Schleck said, with neither rider in contention for the yellow jersey. “Today I had bigger goals than to win the stage.” Submitted photo The Vinton Tigers Boys B-Ball team finished the season with a perfect 12-0 record.

The popular, free program began this season in June and ended this past Thursday with a pool party at London Pool. Between June and a free dip in the pool, 195 local children registered as part of the program which included a weekly “event” to expand on this year’s theme “One World, Many Stories.” Emily Sanders, children’s services coordinator with the MCDPL, said this year young readers were treated to interactive, live events which took place weekly and intertwined with this year’s theme. Children were exposed to the drums of West Africa, the didgeridoo instrument from Australia, Appalachian music and a lesson on exotic reptiles from home as well as around the world. As for why the program continues to be successful from year to year, Sanders said, “It’s an activity that’s close to home and kids can enjoy for free.” Sanders also said summer reading “exposes kids to at least a couple of different cultures they normally wouldn’t have a chance to be exposed to in our area.” The popular program will return in 2012...at no charge.

(Beth Sergent/photo) These summer readers take a turn off the low dive at London Pool which was the sight of the year-end bash for those who participated in the childrenʼs summer reading program. (Beth Sergent/photo) One of the most endearing aspects of the summer reading program is its appeal to not only children but their families. (Beth Sergent/photo) (Beth Sergent/photo) Sisters Alicia Lyons, 10 months, and Kimberly Cross, 4, of Reedsville, take a dip in the kiddie pool during the year-end bash for the childrenʼs summer reading program held last week.

The free program will return next year. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Times-Sentinel Page C2 • Sunday P O L I C I E S �POLICIES� Ohio Valley Publishing reserves the right to edit, reject or cancel any ad at any time. ¾Errors � Must Be Reported on the first day of publication and the TribuneSentinel-Register will be responsible for no more than the cost of the space occupied by the error and only the first insertion.

W eeds The Big C Weeds The Big C �Sunday, July 24, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page C5 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 25, 2011: This year, an aura of confusion surrounds communication. You could be exhausted from having to clear up misunderstandings often. Learn techniques like echoing, confirming, etc. Ultimately, you can only gain. Vagueness surrounds work, which could make you uncomfortable. If you are single, your willingness to step up to the plate and assume responsibility catches someone’s eye this year. You might want to explore what kind of tie exists between the two of you. If you are attached, the two of you will need to make time for each other, as work or another responsibility demands so much of your time. TAURUS can demand a lot. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) +++++ A conversation is inevitable. Talks could take interesting twists and turns. Clarify, if need be. Echo what you think you are hearing. Confusion seems to be the nature of the moment. You could feel pulled between two choices. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++ Be careful with your spending. You could cause yourself a problem out of the blue. Confusion might surround a friendship. This person’s expectation doesn’t mesh with your ideas. Somehow, a misunderstanding has been brewing without your knowledge. Tonight: A talk is inevitable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) +++++ You find your energy and seem to be on top of your game. You might not intend to cause confusion, but somehow you do it anyway. Just when you get a situation straightened out, you have a surprise of sorts. Tonight: Be willing to start sorting through a mess. CANCER (June 21-July 22) +++ Know when to pull back and do something totally new. The time to start a project isn’t now. Take in information, do research and ask yourself just how involved you want to be. Your honesty now can make or break this matter. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Circle the wagons around a key goal or long-term desire. You are more in touch with your goals than you have been in a long time. A partner could misinterpret your words and actions. Try to be as clear as possible. HOROSCOPE Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++ Take a stand and be willing to lead others. Far more people respect you and your decisions than you thought. Try to clarify rather than stay on the same course. You need for others to understand your ideas. Tonight: Till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ Keep reaching out for more information. At some point, you might feel that all the facts are creating more confusion. Actually, there is a discrepancy in the story, which is why there is an element of chaos. Tonight: Detach; take a deep breath. Think and look carefully at information. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Dialogue closely with partners or key associates. You’ll feel far more connected and understand where others are coming from. It really doesn’t matter what you are talking about; there is a sense of unity. Tonight: Go for a close encounter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Others seek you out.

The chaplain who asked a cow to be his best man BY CHRISTINA REXRODE AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK — Adam Moore once drove 500 miles just to eat a burrito at a Chipotle he'd never been to. Alan Klein is working on a smartphone app to help fellow enthusiasts track down the transient McRib sandwich. And Ben Skelton made an unusual choice for best man in his upcoming wedding: the Chick-fil-A cow. "I've already told my best man that he's going to be my second-string best man," said Skelton, a 28-year-old chaplain's assistant in the Air National Guard. "I just haven't told him that he got beat out by a cow." Call it fanaticism or simply dedication, but these are the type of ultra-enthusiastic fans that every restaurant craves. Restaurant groupies have always been around, but they're more valuable at a time when the economy is forcing consumers to choose carefully when they eat out, and a few online posts can inform the opinions of thousands. While there are no known statistics on these fanatics or even agreement on who qualifies as one, restaurant chains realize that influencing a few hyper-excited fans with free food and T-shirts can sometimes be more effective — and much cheaper — than a big advertising campaign. "You really can't buy publicity like that," said Chris Arnold, spokesman for Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., referring affectionately to "lunatic customers" who do things like dress up as burritos to score free meals at the Coloradobased chain. He adds that the company tries to cultivate "loyalty and, in extreme cases, even evangelism." Fast food has indeed become the gospel for many. About 23 percent of Americans eat fast food at least 20 times a month, according to Jeff Davis at Sandelman & Associates, and another 20 percent indulge 12 to 19 times a month. But few restaurants inspire cult-like dedication. Those that do usually offer only one or two main products, or they're able to create an aura of scarcity. That's why the ubiquitous McDonald's usually sells its pork sandwich, the McRib, in only a few markets at a time. Last year, when McDonald's briefly made the McRib available at all U.S. locations, it said that the "obscure availability," as well as the barbecue sauce, led customers "to perform extraordinary feats" for a taste of the sandwich. McDonald's Corp. said the McRib helped fuel November sales, but declined to give details. Perhaps no one knows that better than Alan Klein, a 29year-old meteorologist in the Minneapolis area. He'd never go out of his way for a Big Mac, which are hawked at every McDonald's. But he loves the McRib because it's hard to get. He even created a website, the McRib Locator, so fellow fans could report sightings. "That's the whole lure of it," said Klein, whose enthusiasm for the pork sandwich started when he was a child, growing up in a hog-raising family. "If it's around, you never know when it's coming back." Every house has a hole in it. Enroll Today!
