REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Marijuana plants and items allegedly used to cultivate them, seized from near the residence of a man later indicted for growing the plants, will be allowed as evidence in a trial set to begin Tuesday. Judge James Luce ruled on a motion filed by Thomas Fitch, Long Bottom, through his attorney Charles Knight, to allow the evidence to be presented. Knight had filed a motion to suppress evidence in the case, on the basis that the plants, tools and other items were seized illegally and not on Fitch’s property to begin with. A hearing on the suppression motion was held last month, in which the state argued Fitch had no standing to object to the seizure of the plants, because they were removed from someone else’s property. According to Luce, in his entry filed Tuesday in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation observed growing marijuana near Fitch’s residence, and a search warrant was signed to seize the 203 plants and tools on Aug. 27, 2009. “A search warrant was not even necessary because the growing marijuana plants were in plain view as observed from the air,” Luce wrote in his entry. “Open fields are not constitutionally protected.” “It is common for criminals to grow marijuana on other people’s property.

In this case, the state will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that (Fitch) was cultivating the plants, regardless of whose property the plants were growing on.” Prosecuting Attorney Colleen S. Williams has filed a motion to continue the trial, but no continuance had been granted as of Friday afternoon. MIDDLEPORT — Bids on a $7 million project designed to upgrade Middleport’s sewer system will be opened later this month. Prospective bidders met with village officials last week to learn about the projects in preparation for bids. The village has also received word of funding for an expansion of the village’s water service into the Hobson community, where residents have been waiting for more than 20 years for water service. The village qualified for total grant funding for the sewer overflow project, which was mandated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. It will reduce the number of “outflows” into the Ohio River in keeping with current EPA standards. The waterline extension along Powell Street to Hobson will provide water service to a handful of homes in an area annexed by the village in the 1980’s. When they agreed to the annexation, residents there were promised water service, but it was never provided, mainly because of the limited number of cus- tomers who would be served. “This project will provide a source of safe drinking water to Hobson area residents that they were promised twenty one years ago,” Mayor Michael Gerlach said. “It will also provide fire hydrants and could allow for possible economic development in that part See Sewer, A5 Gallia, Meigs students headed back to school this week BY: ANNA MARIE HARTENBACH AHARTENBACH@HEARTLANDPUBLICATIONS.COM OHIO VALLEY — After three months away from the classroom, summer break comes to a close for many students around the area as they gear up to head back to school for the 2011-2012 school year.

Jay Holsinger, 36, Rio Grande, has reportedly been missing since Wednesday, May 4, but has recently been identified in Washington, Missouri (Franklin County), where Holsinger officials with the Washington Police Department are still on the look out for the missing individual. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, Holsinger had been, reportedly, living with a female in Missouri under an assumed alias after meeting the victim on an online dating site. Subsequently, Holsinger is allegedly to have stolen property from the female on or about Aug. 2. “He had been living with her, giving her a different name, and then he, allegedly, took off with some of her property,” Browning said. “When she reported that to the police, the car he was driving, the tag came back to him, and the description she had was Jay.” According to an official with the Washington Missouri Police Department, the case remains under investigation, and no charges against Holsinger have been filed at this time. No warrant has been issued for Holsinger’s arrest, but officials are seeking information in regard to the suspect’s whereabouts. In addition, Holsinger has two pending first See Missing, A5 60228285 �Sunday, August 21, 2011 Washington Elementary announces homeroom assignments GALLIPOLIS — Washington Elementary’s homeroom assignments for the 2011-2012 school year are as follows: Kindergarten Cindy Grimm — 105 Adams, Bo; Angel, Madison; Borden, Zamara; Carper, Aaron; Collins, Kyra; Darnbrough, Joey; Hamilton, Ava; Harmon, Trenton; Henry, Anthony; James, Robert Jr.; Johnson, Ahnya; Kincaid, Casey; Mayse, Abigail; Petrie, Benjamin (Ben); Pryor, Kylie; Sheets, Dylan; Thomas, Carlos (C J); White, Savannah.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution YO U R O P I N I O N Vietnam Vets must file claims by Aug. 30 Dear Editor, Vietnam veterans who have medical diagnosis for three presumptive conditions related to Agent Orange exposure need to file their claims for service-connected compensation by the Aug. 30, 2011, in order to qualify for retroactive benefits. The three presumptive conditions related to Agent Orange exposure or other herbicides during the Vietnam War are: ischemic heart disease, hairy cell and other B-cell leukemia’s, and Parkinson’s disease. Vietnam veterans who suffer from any of these three presumptive conditions can apply for disability benefits at any time. But they need to apply by the Aug. 30 deadline in order to possibly get benefits retroactively. First-time claims or new claims filed for these conditions and received after the Aug. 30 deadline will have an effective benefit start date that would begin the first day of the month following the month the claim was received by the VA. Claims filed for these conditions previously or old claims that were denied need to be reopened. The effective date for benefits for these particular claims would basically be the date the original claim was first filed. To file a claim, come to the Veterans Service Office at 1102 Jackson Pike. If you have questions concerning veterans benefits call (740) 446-2005. Keith Jeffers, Executive Director Gallia County Veterans Service Office Please leave gifted trees standing Dear Editor, Because of my love for my adopted village and for my impressive parents-in-law, I can't resist writing this note. The two beautiful trees the county plans to cut down (near where the former School of Nursing once stood), were given to Dr. and Mrs. Holzer by one of Ohio's most famous authors, Louis Bromfield, a friend for many years. At his beautiful Malibar Farms estate, there were many such stately locusts, among a variety of trees. A favorite tree also, I was told, of Humphrey Bogart, who was visiting the Bromfield's at the same time as the Holzer's on one occasion. Until I spent an hour on the computer last night, I had no idea what a large part the Black Shipmast Locust had played in our country's early history. As I finished my computer education, I could only hope that the county might be willing to spare them. Although they seemed doomed, only a small footage of land given to the French Art Colony might save them.

So, a thought experiment: What if we were governed by a sophisticated transnational elite that operated outside of normal political channels as much as possible and, sharing similar values, forged compromises relatively easily? What if the elite were highminded and visionary? What if they succeeded in doing "big things"? In Europe the past couple of decades, this hasn't been a fanciful hope, it's been a reality. A political and financial overclass engineered the adoption of the euro, based on one of the world's most foolhardy delusions since the fall of the Berlin Wall: that you can have a common currency without a common country. The euro fueled the sovereign debt crisis that has brought Europe to the brink, and threatens to take the American economy down with it. Our double dip may come courtesy of people named Jacques and Wim who were brilliant -- and desperately wrong. As the euro began to become a reality in the Rich Lowry 1990s, the chief economist of the German Bundesbank rudely pointed out that "there is no example in history of a lasting monetary union that was not linked to one state." But what is history compared with the dream of guys around a conference table sipping Evian? In his excellent primer on the euro crash, "Bust," Matthew Lynn notes that there were two answers to this objection. One was that the euro would be the forerunner to a unified Europe -- or create the currency first, worry about the nation later (details, details). The other was that Europe was an "optimal currency area," where economic efficiency would be served by a single cross-border currency. As the euro expanded to the periphery of Europe, the currency area got steadily less optimal. The euro foundered on differ- ences of national culture and interests. The Swabian housewife -once invoked by German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a symbol of austere common sense -- does not live in Athens. She never will. The euro nonetheless made it possible for countries like Greece and Portugal to borrow at essentially the same low rates as Germany under the illusion that they were just as safe. It's one thing for Germany to borrow at German rates, since fiscal tough-mindedness is practically the country's state religion. It's quite another for Greece, with an ingrained habit of spending what it doesn't have, to do so. True to form, Greece lied about its fiscal indicators to get accepted into the euro, and kept right on lying once it joined the currency. Its national motto could be a paraphrase of the famous "Animal House" line: "You messed up, you trusted us." The low costs of borrowing in countries like Greece spurred massive binges by consumers and government. The bubble felt good on the way up, but it's been brutal on the way down, and Europe -- which is to say Germany -- is ultimately on the hook for all the unsustainable debt. Traditionally, Greece would devalue its currency in its desperation to get out of its current predicament. The euro makes it impossible. The Greeks have accepted a crushing deflationary program imposed by the EU that makes growth impossible and probably only delays the inevitable default. And the contagion spreads to Spain and Italy, raising the prospect of a crisis in countries too big to bail. The euro locks them all into a Germanapproved currency despite the fact that only one of them is Germany. As Ambrose EvansPritchard writes in The Daily Telegraph, "These countries were thrown together into monetary union by high-handed politicians before there was any meaningful convergence of productivity, growth patterns, wage bargaining, inflation proclivities, legal systems, or sensitivity to interest rates." The handiwork of the splendidly effective euro-crats should be undone. Greece is a basket-case country. It deserves a basket-case currency. Bring back the drachma.

But the math isn't so simple. The number at the heart of the battle cry of the Republicans and their tea party allies — that federal spending has risen to an alarming 25 percent of the economy — is skewed by recession dynamics. In recessions, federal spending always goes up and tax revenues go down. And the economy contracts in recessions, shrinking the gross domestic product, which is the total output of goods and services and the broadest measure of the economy's health. Republicans are calling for sweeping spending cuts and want to hold the line on taxes, even as the U.S. struggles through one of its slowest recoveries since the Great Depression. The jobless rate has been stuck for months at more than 9 percent. With the economy slowing again, the odds of a new recession seem to be increasing. While spending's share of the GDP might be at a post-World War II high, tax revenues have fallen to 14.4 percent of the index, the lowest since 1950. This disparity between what comes in and what goes out plays into the Republican argument about runaway spending. But it also reflects the mathematical reality that during recessions, tax revenues go down sharply because people and companies make less money and so pay less in taxes. Federal spending goes up, even before stimulus programs, with an increasing demand for govern- ment help from food stamps and unemployment compensation and other safety-net programs. At the same time, the negative economic growth associated with recessions lowers the GDP number on the bottom of the equation, further boosting the ratio of spending to GDP. Since 1970, federal spending has averaged just over 21 percent of GDP while tax revenues have averaged over 19 percent. The last time since World War II that federal spending exceeded 23 percent of GDP was in 1982 and 1983, when it rose to 23.1 percent and 23.5 percent, respectively, during what was then called the worst recession since the Great Depression. A Republican, Ronald Reagan, was president, and he was hardly anyone's idea of a tax-andspend liberal. Federal spending is even higher now as a percentage of GDP, but not by much — just between 1 and 2 percentage points. That reflects the fact that the most recent recession was far deeper than the 1981-82 downturn, which lasted 16 months. Much of the present large gap between tax revenues and federal spending comes not from political decisions but from what happens to a nation's finances during any deep recession, economists suggest. But you wouldn't know it from some of the recent campaign rhetoric. The Republican candidates all want to shrink government's role by slashing spending and taxes, and repealing or suspending regulations. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney asserted that, because of the rise of the ratio of government spending to GDP on President Barack Obama's watch, "We're inches away Visit us online at from no longer having a free economy." Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum: "We're now at almost 25 percent (of GDP) ... the problem is spending, not taxes." Reps. Ron Paul of Texas and Michele Bachmann of Minnesota insisted they would never vote to raise the U.S. debt limit and they decried the rise in federal spending. The recent bipartisan debt deal, which includes a big spending-cut component, won the support of many tea party-aligned lawmakers, however. Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would commit a "treasonous" act if he "prints more money" before next November's elections. "We would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas," Perry told an Iowa audience. Economists generally credit Bernanke with helping save the nation's financial system by stimulating it with a flood of new money. Economist Bruce Bartlett, who worked in the administrations of both Reagan and President George H.W. Bush, said some of the statements by Republicans make him cringe. "And what sometimes makes me cringe more is the silence from their competitors." Bartlett includes the solid opposition to any tax increases from the entire GOP field, citing the recent debate when not a single Republican participant would agree to accept even a mix of $1 in new taxes for every $10 in spending cuts. "It's the cowardice of people who know they're wrong when they say these things that disturbs me more than the fact that some people say crazy things," Bartlett said. He said the Republicans were clearly playing to the party's conservative base for the primary elections "but when you repeat these things, they tend to get solidified." He added, "The same is true in both parties. It's just that there's no primary race on the Democratic side." The intense focus by Republicans and some conservative Democrats on cutting spending to reduce the national debt, now at nearly $14.5 trillion, helped put deficit reduction high on the priority list for both parties. But polls continue to show that people are more concerned about the lack of jobs than they are the deficit. Nearly 15 million are jobless in the U.S. Obama, now on vacation, plans a major speech on the economy after Congress returns in September, trying to emphasize jobs and help the poor and middle class, aides said. The plan is expected to contain a mix of tax cuts, construction projects and steps to help the long-term unemployed. Even though the pace of recovery is painfully slow, any improvements in the jobs situation will help spur stronger economic growth, leading to more tax revenues and lower federal spending. "If the economy starts to get better, then everything gets better," said Democratic strategist Mark Mellman. But it will be a slog. As the recession that began in December 2007 intensified, federal spending increased from 20.7 percent of GDP in 2008 to 25.0 percent in 2009, according to figures compiled by the White House budget office. And while the recession was officially declared over in early summer 2009, overall federal spending was 23.8 percent of GDP last year and is projected to come in at 25.3 percent for 2011 amid fears of a new, or "double dip," recession. mydailytribune.com and mydailysentinel.com �Sunday, August 21, 2011 Obituaries Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis School Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 Gallia-Meigs Forecast From Page A1 Gary J.

State Briefs Ohio weatherization jobs to be cut as funding ends COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Hundreds of homeweatherization jobs are expected to be lost in Ohio as federal stimulus money runs out for programs that help low-income and elderly Ohioans with home-energy improvements runs out. The Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies in Columbus told the state this week that agencies providing services for the Home Weatherization Assistance Program expect to lay off about 700 employees in the next six months. Association Executive Director Philip Cole says the expected layoffs will include crew workers and contractors working for weatherization providers across the state. He says the jobs are expected to disappear with the last of $267 million in federal stimulus money that Ohio began receiving in June 2009. The money was part of $5 billion allotted for weatherization under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Ohio’s Cedar Point to build $1M dino attraction SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s Cedar Point amusement park will build a $1 million animatronic dinosaur attraction expected to open next summer. Officials at the park in Sandusky in northern Ohio said Friday that the life-sized dinosaurs in Dinosaurs Alive! will roar and move. Some also will have interactive consoles to allow guests to guide their movements. The walk-through attraction will feature about 50 dinosaurs, including one nearly 40 feet tall and 72 feet long. Park officials say the dinosaurs will be handcrafted and covered with skin-like materials replicating their external features. The attraction also will offer fossil displays and a paleontological dig. Admission will be an extra $5 per person over the park admission. Cedar Point officials say a mat-racer slide complex also will be added at the adjacent Soak City waterpark. Patrol doubling sobriety checkpoints in ‘11 COLUMBUS (AP) — A federal grant is allowing the State Highway Patrol to run nearly twice as many sobriety checkpoints on Ohio roads this year. Officials say the stepped-up efforts not only are removing impaired drivers from the state’s highways but also are deterring others from drinking and driving. As part of a late-summer crackdown on drunken driving, the patrol planned to operate 27 sobriety stops throughout the state this weekend. The Columbus Dispatch reports the number is part of an expected 100 checkpoints troopers will man through the end of this year. The patrol will be able to set up almost twice as many checkpoints as it did during 2010 with the help of roughly $450,000 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. vides the base formula for schools to calculate the amount of school lunches. Food Service Supervisor Donna Corsi said that Board of Education made the increases to comply with the law. Meigs Elementary students will now pay $2.50, Meigs Middle and High School students will pay $2.75 and adult lunches will be $3.25. Those qualifying for reduced priced lunches will pay 40 cents. All three schools will also see menu changes in accordance with the law, which specifies nutritional values of free lunches, which foods and beverages can and cannot be served and what is acceptable to sell in vending machines, Corsi said. Ala carte items also have very specific guidelines as well. “Chocolate is out, cookies are out and chips have to meet certain requirements,” she said. Change will also come into play for the new school year at Eastern Local School District. This year, classes will begin at 7:55 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m. David Tennant was hired as the new head football coach at Eastern High School. Additionally, Shawn Bush is now principal for grades 7-12 and Jody Howard for grades K-6. Bush said he plans to continue with the progress that was made during the 2010-2011 school year. “We were rated excellent by the Ohio Department of Education and the students met 11 out of 12 indicators so I just want to continue that this year,” Bush said. Like students at Meigs Local School District, students at Eastern Local School District will also see an increase in lunch prices. Approved by the Eastern Board of Education and in compliance with the Equity in School Lunch Policy Section 205 of the Child Nutrition Authorization Act a mandate by the Ohio Department of Education, lunch prices will increase five cents. Free and reduced-priced meals or free milk is offered to children of families with annual falling below or at federal guidelines. To apply for the free or reduced meals an application, which was mailed to all homes, will be required. An open house will be held on Monday, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for both the elementary school and high school. Southern Local School District will also return to school on August 24, with an open house on Monday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for students and parents in the first through eighth grades. Kindergarten orientation will be held on Tuesday, August 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The school year will bring several changes to faculty and staff, with additional vacancies to be filled. Changes include – Ms. Megan Edwards, seventh and eighth grade math; Mrs. Elizabeth Graham, high school math; Mrs. Dawn Hill, first grade; Ms. Ashli Thompson, preschool; Mr. Kyle Wickline, seventh and eighth grade social studies; Mr. Chris Stout, intervention specialist; Mrs. Lisa Schenkelberg, intervention specialist; Mrs. Pierrette Morales, Spanish; Mr. Sean Riffle, ASK social worker. Though the school has yet to receive the results of their state report card, preliminary results indicate that the elementary school met 14 out of 15 indicators and the high school met 11 out of 12 indicators, according to initial reports to the Southern Local School District staff. The report goes on to say that the district could be rated excellent for the third consecutive year, depending on additional data. “I’m looking forward to another successful year,” Southern Local School District Superintendent Tony Deem said. In other action, the Gallipolis City School District, grades 1-12 will also report to school on August 24. James R. Craft, director of communications for Gallipolis City Schools said the board looks forward to the return of students and staff for the new year. “This is an exciting time to be an educator, and the start of school is always the most exciting time of each year,” Craft said. Parents of kindergarten students will be required to transport their students to their respective buildings for an orientation on Wednesday, with regular bus transportation and classes starting on Thursday, August 25. An open house and orientation will be held for all incoming freshman or new students of Gallipolis City School District at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, August 22 in the Gallia Academy High School Auditorium. One change in the district for the 2011-2012 school year is the hire of Roger Mace as the new superintendent of Gallipolis City Schools. Mace starts officially on September 12, with Denise Shockley serving as Interim Superintendent for the time being, Craft said. “We are thankful to have Denise with us for this short time, and we are very excited for Roger Mace as our new Superintendent of the Gallipolis City Schools. Roger is a high energy individual with tremendous experience, and he is ready and well prepared to take us to new heights,” Craft said. ”As a school district, we have been blessed with an outstanding staff who care deeply for the students we serve. After all, it’s all about the students. Working together, this will be a great school year as we continue to improve toward our goal of excellence.” Sunday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Sewer From Page A1 of town.” Gerlach said the village expects to open bids on the long-awaited sewer project on Aug. 30. In addition to providing a separation of the village’s sanitary and storm sewer system, the funding will allow the village to purchase a vacuum truck to periodically clean the system, and a building in which to store it. “In the past we have used a water jet that would just blow a clog from one point to stick elsewhere,” Gerlach said. The improved sewer system can also remove a million gallons of mine runoff a day, which must be treated by the village’s system. “Currently, we all share the cost of pumping and treating that runoff in our sewer system,” Gerlach said. Ohio has 2 of Forbes’ best cities for cheap living SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Ohio is home to two cities on a web site’s new list of the 10 best places to live cheaply. Sandusky tops the Forbes.com list, while Springfield comes in at No. 8. Midwestern cities fared well on the list, which included Monroe and Bay City in Michigan and the Kokomo and Elkhart-Goshen areas of Indiana. Forbes looked at housing prices, the cost of living, the violent crime rate, the unemployment rate and school quality when making the list. Springfield’s community director tells the Springfield News-Sun she’s not surprised that the cost of living is low, attributing it to population loss and an abundance of open housing. She says the city is a good place to raise a family in a cost-effective way.

Supported in part by REI, Family Hiking Day is an opportunity to introduce families to the Appalachian Trail (A.T.), and all of the benefits that come from being active and spending time outdoors. The event will be held on National Public Lands Day and coordinating with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Initiative. Family Hiking Day, a program developed by the ATC, is an initiative to get people of all ages and experience levels outside and active. Hiking on the A.T. is a good source of physical exercise that provides a space for exploration of local natural resources and the opportunity to create lasting memories that will encourage long-term appreciation of protected public lands. The ATC will be providing resources, games and activities, and a list of hikes for families to use in order to explore the A.T. in a fun, safe and engaging way. In addition, the ATC is also encouraging families to submit their stories online for a chance to win prizes and have their story shared with the A.T. community. “The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is excited to launch this effort to get families outdoors and active on the Trail,” stated Jeanne Mahoney, Volunteer Resources Coordinator of the ATC. “Hiking with your family is an adventure, and there is plenty to see and do on the A.T. Having a brief, fun hiking activity can enhance the experience for all. Whether your Trail leads to a stream, wetland, field, or forest, you will find a whole new world to explore with your senses, even if you think you already know the place well!” The A.T. is one of the longest continuously Ohio governor, GOP leaders stage union law meeting marked footpaths in the world, measuring roughly 2,180 miles in length. The Trail goes through 14 states along the crests and valleys of the Appalachian mountain range from the southern terminus at Springer Mountain, Georgia, to the Trail’s northern terminus at Katahdin, Maine. Known as the “A.T.,” it has been estimated that 23 million people visit the Trail every year. Completed in 1937, the A.T. is a unit of the National Park System. It is managed under a unique partnership between the public and private sectors that includes, among others, the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service, an array of state agencies, the ATC, and 31 local Trail-maintaining clubs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A standoff over a collective bargaining overhaul showed no sign of abating Friday as Gov. John Kasich dangled a compromise meeting before union leaders, who rejected the invitation as disingenuous and urged repeal of the bill. Kasich and fellow Republican legislative leaders planted themselves in a state conference room they had reserved for the meeting, which union leaders pledged not to attend. Placards bearing the names of major unions — AFL-CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, the Ohio Education Association and others — were set on a facing table in front of empty chairs. “Woody Allen said, ‘Ninety percent of life is just showing up,’” Kasich said after an hour had passed. “Well, they obviously flunked that test today.” House Speaker William Batchelder said, “This was a complete abdication of moral responsibility on their part.” We Are Ohio, the campaign seeking to overturn the bill on Nov. 8, said their call for repeal is based on the fact the process of passing the bill was tainted by “political tricks.” In a statement peppered with quotes from their supporters, the group said the GOP-controlled Legislature removed legislative members who opposed the bill from committee appointments; locked the Ohio Statehouse when throngs of protesters were gathered; and declined to allow all those who showed up to testify. Though no labor leaders showed Friday, media outlets from across the state crowded into a nearby hallway to see what would happen. We Are Ohio, the coalition mounting the November repeal effort, said Kasich never directly approached them about talks. Instead, he issued the invite in an open letter Wednesday shortly before holding a news conference. Campaign director A.J. Stokes issued a return volley Thursday, sending letters to Kasich, Batchelder and Senate President Tom Niehaus that called for a “fresh start” that would begin with the bill being repealed. We Are Ohio spokeswoman Melissa Fazekas said repeal is the necessary first step to any negotiations. State lawmakers are on summer recess and any such vote is unlikely before Aug. 30, the deadline for pulling the issue from the ballot. As the appointed time for the meeting came and went Friday, proponents of the law and union supporters took to Twitter. The law’s supporters accused unions of dishonest dealings, while opponents accused Kasich of staging an event for the media attention. We Are Ohio is seeking to roll back the law, which limits the negotiating powers of 350,000 unionized public workers, bans public strikes, and introduces a meritpay system for public school teachers. Keeping Meigs & Gallia informed Sunday Times-Sentinel Natural gas driller opens office in northeast Ohio CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An energy company tapping a major natural gas deposit in eastern Ohio has opened an office in Canton and expects to create more than 70 jobs. The local newspaper reports Friday that Chesapeake Energy will use the office as an interim operations base until it finds a permanent field office for drilling in the Utica shale formation. Last month Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy said it believes the 1.25 million acres it has leased above the Utica Shale formation in eastern Ohio is worth $15 billion to $20 billion. Natural gas is extracted from shale by hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, a process that blasts chemicallaced water into the ground. Environmentalists have raised concerns about potential groundwater contamination. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A6 Meigs • 992-2155 Gallia • 446-2342 JUST ARRIVED!

The Yellow Garden Spider, Argiope aurantia, that is found in late summer gardens capturing its prey in its orb shaped web. This orbweaving spider is one of Ohio’s largest, measuring over 2 inches between the tips of its legs. It is characterized by bright yellow to goldenyellow markings on a black abdomen and its zigzag pattern on its web. It weaves a round web, ‘orb’ ,with both non sticky and sticky threads. Normally its web is found three to six feet height to maximize its ability to capture insects. It attracts the unsuspecting insect using the zigzag marking in its web that appears to most insects as a large flower. The unfortunate insect caught in the web is soon captured by the yellow garden spider and drained of bodily fluids.

Joe Boggs, state entomologist is warning homeowners that now is the time to spot the young brownish-red instar nymphs of the Magnolia scale, Neoloecanium comuparvum, crawling from old growth onto this year’s growth. This soft scale sucks the sap out of the magnolia twigs as its food source. Large numbers of scale will cause the twigs to die back. They are difficult to see unless you look carefully along the stem. The female adults are helmet shaped and brownish purple in color. The scale also attack tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Magnolia scale is also notorious for exuding copious quantities of “honeydew.” The sticky honeydew may drip onto the leaves and stems of the host plant as well as plants beneath an infested tree,sidewalks or cars. Honeydew is a growing medium of black sooty molds. These molds do not harm plants however the sticky goo combined with the molds can produce an unsightly mess. Many other sucking insects (aphids, planthoppers, etc.) also exude honeydew. Magnolia scale eggs remain inside the female’s body until the eggs hatch which gives the appearance that the females are “giving birth” to live young. Egg hatch may occur continuously from early August into early October. Boggs states that “ this presents a serious challenge to the traditional approach to scale management which focuses on tar- $�GLIIHUHQFH�\RX�FDQ�EDQN�RQ� � � � � � Hal Kneen geting the unprotected crawlers with topical insecticide applications. The extended egg hatch means multiple applications are required to kill all of the crawlers produced this season. Neonicotinoid systemic insecticides are an effective alternative with control being achieved in a single application. A soil drench application of imidacloprid (e.g. Merit), dinotefuran (e.g. Safari), or clothianidin (e.g. Arena) from September into November will suppress this scale.” Most homeowners will find these chemicals hard to come by unless a professional arborist sprays. Homeowners will have to apply several applications of carbaryl, malathion or insecticidal soaps to get satisfactory control. If the infestation is small, just cut out or prune the infested branches. *** Are you managing your woodland to maximize its growth potential?

In the 5k, Matt Michno set a new record with a WVU: 1st beer sold at football games to cost $7-9 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University football fans can buy beer at home games for $7 to $9 this fall, depending on whether it’s a domestic, an import or a locally made craft brew. Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced Thursday that AnheuserBusch, MillerCoors and Morgantown Brewing Co. will supply the suds in 51 locations at Mountaineer Field for the first time in its history. Concession operator Sodexo will sell beer until there are 7? minutes left in the third quarter, then shut down. This week, it’s training 500 people in how to manage the sales, ID checks and intoxicated fans. The mass-produced beer will be sold in plastic bottles, with only the craft beer in 16-ounce cups — and only in the north end zone. There won’t be any hawkers in the stands or sales in the student section. Officials with Morgantown Brewing Co. didn’t immediately return a telephone message about what the deal means for their business, but WVU expects beer sales overall to generate $500,000 to $1.2 million a season in revenue, depending on the weather, attendance and team performance. The season opens Sept. 4 at home against Marshall. Beer has never been sold for general consumption at Mountaineer Field, although it’s been served in the private, individually leased suites since 1994. Luck has said that allowing beer sales may help WVU get a handle on the binge drinking that has long gone on before games and at halftime. It has also ended a longstanding “pass-out” policy, which has for decades allowed fans to leave during day games, drink heavily and return to the stadium. Most colleges ended the practice long ago. Event staff would have discretion about allowing people to leave for family or medical emergencies. WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts, who is in his 26th year of working football games, said officers will increase screening at the gates, and extremely intoxicated fans may not get in the stadium even if they hold tickets. Once inside, drunken and rowdy fans could be asked to leave. “Alcohol has always been at Mountaineer Field,” said Roberts, with problems peaking in the late 1980s.

After telling GQ magazine that he didn’t want to come to Philadelphia to be a third-string quarterback following his release from federal prison two years ago, Vick clarified his remarks on Thursday. to me that this was the place I wanted to play and resume my NFL career. The commissioner never told me to sign or not sign with particular teams. Again, I want to make it perfectly clear that this was a decision I made and, as I have said numerous times before, I’m very happy with the way it has worked out for me and my family.” Big Ten says no current plans to expand PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP) — The Big Ten Conference is not looking at another expansion — for now. The 12-team league said Friday that its Council of Presidents/Chancellors met recently and there is no plan to “actively” engage in expansion now “or at any time in the foreseeable future, barring a significant shift in the current intercollegiate athletic landscape.” Of course, there is that possibility. Texas A&M confirmed this week that it is interested in leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference — a move that would almost surely set off another round of conference realignment. The SEC, which has won the last five BCS championships in football, on Sunday reaffirmed its 12-school membership while leaving the door open to expansion. Earlier this week, Big East Commissioner John Marinatto said has been in contact with Dan truth,” Vick says. “I didn’t want to come to Philadelphia. Being the third-team quarterback is nothing to smile about. Cincinnati and Buffalo were better options.” Vick also says in the article that he’s happy he ended up in Philadelphia because it’s “the right situation.” Vick played sparingly in 2009 behind Donovan Vick, who rejuvenated his career with the Eagles and started in the Pro Bowl last year, says in the September issue that commissioner Roger Goodell was among those who convinced him Philadelphia was the right destination. “I think I can say this now, because it’s not going to hurt anybody’s feelings, and it’s the McNabb and Kevin Kolb. McNabb was traded to Washington in April 2010, and Vick eventually replaced Kolb after he was injured in the season opener last year.

Little League, Almonte feel impact of age saga Beebe, his counterpart at the Big 12, and John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Big Ten made the announcement as Nebraska prepares to play its first season since joining the league from the Big 12 in July. The Big 12, which also lost Colorado to the Pac12, has said it wants to keep Texas A&M, but if the Aggies leave it would “aggressively move forward to explore expansion,” presumably by adding one or three schools if possible. Last December, Big Ten Council Chairman Michael McRobbie, the Indiana president, said the board “believed the expansion process had reached its natural conclusion. “We’re about as comfortable as we can be with where we are,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said Friday. “We’ve said that we will continue to monitor the landscape, but we have closed down active expansion and have no plans to seek new members.” S O U T H WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The box score that shows Danny Almonte pitched a perfect game at the Little League World Series is tucked in a binder atop a metal filing cabinet. Otherwise, that game in 2001 never officially happened — at least not after Almonte was proven to be 14, too old to play Little League ball. A decade later, the repercussions of that bigleague-level scandal still resonate through Little League, where birth certificates might now be tracked as closely as balls and strikes. As for the youngsters at the time, Almonte lives in New York, playing in an adult league and working at a restaurant, his former high school coach there said. And the group of then-pre-teens from central Pennsylvania he helped beat have moved on to get college degrees and start careers. The 65th annual World Series begins Thursday here at Lamade Stadium, painted dark green with a steep grassy hill above the outfield, a picturesque venue for a tournament in which organizers preach sportsmanship and fair play. But with ESPN cameras capturing every pint-sized player’s every move, a standout performance can turn a participant into a Little League celebrity. So it was with Almonte, who helped carry his team from New York City to the World Series in 2001. The hard-throwing lefty with a 70-mph slider tossed a perfect game and struck out 16 in a 5-0 shutout of Apopka, Fla. He then pitched a one-hit shutout, clocking pitches at 77 mph, before his team was eliminated in a rematch against Florida in the U.S. championship game . But the drama was only beginning. Days later, Little League said Almonte was under investigation after officials were shown a document by a Sports Illustrated writer indicating Almonte was born in 1987 in the Dominican Republic, which would have made him 14. His team had a document that showed Almonte was 12, or born two years later, in the same country. At the time, Little League rules prohibited any player born before Aug. 1, 1988, from competing. The investigation drew international attention, and even President George W. Bush’s administration intervened to ask 60232992 Stop by or call today!

I always felt he was as much victimized as anybody,” Little League president Stephen Keener said in his office overlooking the field where Almonte tossed his perfect game.” COMING SOON!

(AP) — Two Miami players said Friday they were trying to focus on the coming season and not possible sanctions after a dozen teammates were implicated in a scandal that could alter the future of Hurricanes football, Center Tyler Horn and running back Mike James were the first Miami players to meet reporters since convicted Ponzischeme architect and former university booster Nevin Shapiro claimed that he provided money, prostitutes, cars and gifts to some current and former Hurricanes in a story Yahoo Sports published Tuesday. The NCAA has been investigating Miami for five months, and the school is bracing for the possibility of stiff penalties at some point. “Well, of course, it was a shock to hear those allegations,” Horn said. “But we’re focused on football. That’s all we can focus on. That’s all we can control.” Miami’s decision to allow Horn and James to take the first questions posed to players since the scandal broke was not entirely coincidental. Not only are they among the most expressive Hurricanes, but neither is among the current players implicated in the report. “Life is easy regardless,” James said. “We just know we don’t pay attention to outside things. We just focus on us, and that’s about it.” Horn and James were the only two speakers before Miami’s practice Friday morning. Coach Al Golden opted to take a day off from briefing reporters, clearly weary of discussing the scandal. Golden was not implicated in the story, since all the events Shapiro detailed to Yahoo Sports allegedly took place between 2002 and 2010. Golden was hired in December, months after Shapiro was placed into custody for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme. The scandal broke just days after NCAA President Mark Emmert led a group of university presidents — including Miami’s Donna Shalala — in drafting an outline for change in college sports. “She’s been a terrific leader in higher education, and I have great respect for her,” Emmert told The Associated Press on Friday. “I can only imagine how much she’s struggling with this, like I would have been if this had happened on my watch.” Shalala released a statement earlier this week, as did Miami athletic director Shawn Eichorst, but neither has fielded questions because of the ongoing investigations. Shapiro is serving a 20year prison sentence. He has also been ordered to pay more than $82 million to bilked investors. He was in the midst of being transported by federal officials from Atlanta to a still-undisclosed final destination — possibly South Florida — on Friday, according to his attorney, Maria Elena Perez. Neither Horn nor James would say if they spoke to any of the current players who were implicated by Shapiro about the scandal. Shapiro claims he threw lavish parties at his home and on his yacht, provided cash to recruits and paid for 39 players to have sex with prostitutes. Among those named by Shapiro include NFL stars Jon Beason, Frank Gore, Devin Hester, Andre Johnson, Kenny Phillips, Antrel Rolle, Jon Vilma and Vince Wilfork. Most of the NFL players named in the story have either declined comment or denied the claims made by Shapiro. “I am concerned,” Rolle said this week. “I am concerned because this is bringing unnecessary drama to the program that doesn’t need to be. I am a Miami guy at heart and I always will be a Miami guy at heart. I just want these players to have the same fortunate career as I had and other people had. But right now there is a lot of drama going on and it’s all caused by one guy, one angry guy.” Those current Hurricanes listed in the story include quarterback Jacory Harris, safeties Vaughn Telemaque and Ray Ray Armstrong, receivers Travis Benjamin and Aldarius Johnson, defensive linemen Marcus Forston, Olivier Vernon, Marcus Robinson and Adewale Ojomo, tight end Dyron Dye, defensive back JoJo Nicholas and linebacker Sean Spence — many of whom are expected to play key roles for the team in 2011. “That’s something I don’t speak on,” James said. “I just worry about football and let coach and the NCAA handle that.” All Miami players were involved with practice Friday. Nicholas returned after missing part of Thursday to tend to a family matter unrelated to the investigation. Horn said players were not fretting about the possibility that some of OOMPD Fall Youth Soccer Signups Gallipolis MFL signups will then be seeded to play in a tournament style playoff series.

All we can do is come out here and play as hard as we can.” Added James: “We’ve got tunnel vision.” Some around the program wonder if the distractions will simply be too much for the Hurricanes, in their first year under Golden and coming off a disappointing 7-6 season. Or it could bring the team closer. “It’s going to be usagainst-the-world,” Horn said. “That’s all we can focus on. The only thing that matters is the people that are inside that Hecht (the facility housing the Hurricanes’ football complex). All the people that matter are the people on this football field playing every day. Those are my brothers and we’re going to stick together.” Miami joined a growing list of schools with major football programs to be investigated by the NCAA for rule-breaking in the past 18 months. Others include Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU. Shapiro began making his allegations about a year ago. He told Yahoo Sports that 72 football players and other athletes at Miami received improper benefits from him in the past decade. The NCAA’s four-year statute of limitations doesn’t apply when there is a pattern of willful violations that continues into the past four years. WE PUMP SEPTIC TANKS!

It’s made itself relevant, though, with another tactic — investigating the current bowl-game system and filing complaints about corruption and waste. By obtaining public records, analyzing tax filings and mounting an aggressive public relations campaign, Playoff PAC has repeatedly put the Bowl Championship Series on the defensive, despite raising less than $20,000 in nearly two years and failing to make a single campaign contribution. Just last week, the PAC filed complaints against the Fiesta Bowl in nine states, claiming that payments the bowl received from an Arizona visitors bureau for placing teams in hotels, and for other services, amounted to “kickbacks.” Bowl officials strongly denounced the accusations as off base, countering that the arrangement was not only legal but advantageous to the schools — and a spokesman at least one school, Connecticut, said that the university was satisfied with the deal it got. Nonetheless, Playoff PAC had succeeded in putting an anti-BCS item on the agenda of attorneys general across the country. When it launched in 2009, the PAC said its goal was to help elect members of Congress who would pressure college football to replace the BCS with a playoff. But the money didn’t flow in, and the group shifted its tactics: focusing on investigations instead of donations. Several of the PAC’s founders and board members are young lawyers, who donate their time and legal expertise to their goal of dethroning the BCS. The public face of Playoff PAC is Matthew Sanderson, a boyishlooking 30-year-old campaign finance lawyer in Washington who worked for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. He and fellow attorney Trevor Potter teamed up to represent Stephen Colbert before the Federal Election Commission, prompting the comedian to crack that the two lawyers “will go down with the greats of American duos: Lewis and Clark, Sacco and Vanzetti, Harold and Kumar.” Sanderson is a graduate of Utah, which was denied a chance to play for the national championship in 2009 despite going undefeated. That helped motivate him and his friends to start Playoff PAC. Under the BCS, the champions of the six powerhouse conferences have automatic bids to play in top-tier bowl games, while the other five conferences don’t. The teams ranked No. 1and No. 2 under a formula devised by the BCS play in a national title game. Notably, the system is not governed by the NCAA, which stages playoffs for the lower divisions of football. Non-BCS college football rankings, including The Associated Press’ Top 25, can select a different champion. Playoff PAC and other critics call the BCS unfair, and even though Utah is moving into one of the six powerhouse conferences this year, Sanderson hasn’t lost his zeal. “By the time Utah committed to the Pac-12, we’d already seen too much,” he said. “Misconduct plagues the status quo, and we couldn’t in good conscience let that continue.” The BCS doesn’t have a political action com- mittee, but it has hardly ceded the political arena to Playoff PAC. Congressional lobbying reports show that the BCS spent about $100,000 in the last three-month reporting period, the second quarter of 2011, on “issues related to college football playoff.” Playoff PAC has filed several complaints and reports that have attacked three of the four BCS bowls. The group’s actions include: — Reviewing tax records to highlight what it calls excessive salaries and perks to the CEOs of the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange Bowls; — Calling for a probe into possible wrongdoing at the Fiesta Bowl, based on reporting by The Arizona Republic, which triggered an investigation by the Arizona attorney general’s office that is still ongoing. The allegations were also looked at by a special committee established by the bowl, which went on to document apparently illegal campaign contributions and inappropriate spending, leading to the firing of CEO John Junker. — Using public records requests to show that nine of the 11 members of an NCAA panel voting on whether to revoke the Fiesta Bowl’s license had attended a bowl-sponsored retreat that included free meals, resort rooms and golf outings. (The panel let the bowl keep its license, but put it on one year’s probation.) Through these and other revelations, the PAC has been effective in generating media exposure, which has given it a voice even without much money. “We’ve been successful in attracting press attention, not successful in getting donations,” Sanderson said. “We thought it would be the opposite.” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said he thought that the PAC’s impact on the discussion of postseason college football has been “little to none.” But Scott McKibben, executive director of the Rose Bowl — the one BCS bowl that has escaped the PAC’s criticism — said the group has “stirred up the dust with fans” on the question of whether a playoff would be better than the BCS. “I don’t think there’s any question that they have, just from a pure fan awareness and media exposure perspective, brought that up a notch or two,” he said. It didn’t start that way. In 2009, ESPN announced the news of the PAC’s formation with mockery. “Forget health care,” ESPN anchor Stan Verrett said with a dismissive wave of his hand. “Even when they’re really really sick, you know all people really want is for their team to get a fair shot at the title.” The reaction wasn’t all that different at Sanderson’s own law firm. One of his bosses, partner Joe Birkenstock, recalled that some of the other partners were saying, “Look, isn’t this just a waste of time? We don’t want to start throwing elbows in that corner of the world. You gotta be kidding, the college football system needs a political action committee?” Birkenstock, a former chief counsel for the Democratic National Committee, said that he and Sanderson argued that it was an important issue that many people cared about. Since then, other lawyers at the firm have contributed their time to the effort: Birkenstock and fellow partner, Marcus Owens, former director of the IRS exempt organizations division, both joined Sanderson in signing an IRS complaint accusing the Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls of violating their taxexempt status.

Welcome to the majors, rookie. “I felt it would happen,” Heisey said. “As the season went on last year, I kind of heard talk that it would happen. All the rookies were talking about what we would be dressing up as.” Making the rookies wear outlandish outfits for a road trip or fix a ham sandwich for a veteran is as much baseball tradition as batting practice and curtain calls, a time-honored way of reminding the newcomers where they rank in the clubhouse pecking order. While other sports struggle with the question of when rookie hazing crosses the line, it remains part of baseball’s fabric — though not nearly as outlandish as some of the stunts in other sports. “I think it’s worse in football,” said Colorado’s Todd Helton, who played quarterback as a two-sport star at Tennessee. “When I was in college football, they shaved me bald — the whole incoming freshman class. A bunch of big guys grabbed you and shaved your head.” The Jacksonville Jaguars banned rookie hazing this year, saying it had gone too far. In recent years, rookies had been taped to goal posts, covered in baby powder, tossed in a cold tub and forced to accept ugly haircuts. The Jaguars can still hold their annual rookie talent competition and veterans are allowed to make the newcomers carry their equipment. But that’s the limit. Last year, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant created a stir when he refused to carry a veteran’s pads, challenging the rookie hazing tradition. In professional baseball, rookies get a much milder treatment — no shaving, no forced haircuts, no taping to stationary objects. “I don’t even know if hazing would be the proper term to use as far as baseball is concerned,” said Rockies manager Jim Tracy, whose rookie indoctrination involved wearing a gaudy suit. Whatever it’s called in baseball, it’s changing, too. With young players taking on more prominent roles, they’re getting treated more like equals in the clubhouse these days. Veterans say the latest rookie classes have been singled out far less than in the past. “Because the game seems to be getting younger and younger, a lot of that stuff has totally changed,” said Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo, who was forced to fetch drinks for veterans during the middle of the night at team hotels when he was a Pirates rookie. “There’s a lot less going on.” And most welcome it. “It’s changed,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “In fact, I’m kind of glad it changed. I’ve never been a big fan of the whole thing.” Marlins infielder Wes Helms had to carry veterans’ luggage onto team flights and serve them on the plane when he was a rookie. “There’s definitely less than when I came up,” Helms said. “Now, you don’t really have anything as far as making them do anything stupid throughout the year to embarrass themselves. “It definitely has calmed down over the years. Rookies are a little different nowadays. When I came up, you didn’t say a word until you had two or three years in the big leagues. Now guys come up and it’s like they’re already comfortable.” How rookies are treated depends upon the veterans in charge. Most teams force rookies to dress in embarrassing costumes for a road trip late in the season. They might be ordered to sing or dance at the front of the team bus. “The closest thing we have is the guy with the least service time in the bullpen has to carry the backpack of candy or drinks and find out what the bullpen guys want,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We do some things at spring training just as bonding with guys, not really hazing. You give them projects or you ask them to do a report Prosecutors say Clemens should face second trial WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors in the Roger Clemens perjury case said Friday they had made an honest mistake in showing jurors inadmissible evidence and that shouldn’t save the baseball star from facing a new trial. The prosecutors filed arguments disputing Clemens’ position that a second trial would violate his constitutional protection against double jeopardy by making him face the same charges twice. Clemens had argued the showing of the evidence was a deliberate ploy to invoke a mistrial because the prosecutors’ case was going badly. But the prosecutors say their case remains strong and Clemens wants to “gain an unwarranted windfall from this inadvertent error.” The prosecutors said it was an oversight when they showed jurors a video clip that mentioned that Clemens’ teammate told his wife that Clemens admitted using performance-enhancing drugs — evidence the judge had ruled inadmissible. The filing is the prosecutors’ first public admission of wrongdoing in the case and first explanation of what went wrong. The prosecutors wrote it was their duty to make sure that evidence was not included in their exhibits. “The government accepts responsibility for its oversight, and regrets the burdens that error has placed on this court and defendant,” they wrote, but argued the mistake was due to the press of other trial matters and was not intentional. That’s an important point for the prosecutors to make to the judge, who has scheduled a Sept. 2 hearing on the retrial debate. Normally, when a defendant requests a mistrial, a second trial is not considered double jeopardy. The exception would be when the judge finds prosecutors intentionally provoked a mistrial. But the prosecutors pointed out the sudden ending to Clemens’ trial came only on the second day of evidence in what was supposed to be a four- to six-week case. It came before prosecutors called crucial witnesses such as Brian McNamee, the pitcher’s longtime trainer, who said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone, or showed their key physical evidence — needles that McNamee said he used to inject Clemens and which the prosecutors said contained Clemens’ DNA and traces of the drugs. The defense planned to dispute both vigorously, arguing that McNamee is a habitual liar who fabricated the evidence to blackmail his former boss. But jurors only had hints of that dispute in opening arguments and had seen no evidence of it yet. �� ������� ����� ��� ������ ���� proudly presents The Duck Derby � �� ��� � � � ������ �� � ��� GRAND PRIZE ������ � � � ����� ��� �� ������� � ���� ���� � �� �� ���� ������� ���� � ����� � �� � � �� ���� � ��� ���� � �� �� Gheen Rentals Why Invest?

So I think it depends on who’s king of the hill and whether those people are reasonable.” Some if it depends upon how the rookies accept their special treatment. “If you take it the right way, it doesn’t happen twice,” Helton said. “Usually when a guy fights back is when the problems arise. My rookie year, I was the only rookie. When they told me to, I’d make them ham sandwiches that year. I just kept my mouth shut and did what they said.” Paul Konerko of the White Sox thinks rookie hazing shouldn’t make a newcomer feel uncomfortable. “I remember when I was a rookie, people made me feel uncomfort- able, maybe crossed the line,” said Konerko, who broke in with the Dodgers in 1997. “When that happens, when that player gets older, he says, ‘I’m not going to do that because I know how it felt.’ Or, ‘I can’t wait to do it to someone.’ It’s one of the two, and I think I’m the first one.” A lot of players see baseball’s rookie treatment as something to be appreciated. “There’s a deeper history in the game of baseball and things like that,” Twins reliever Matt Capps said. “You try to carry that history over. “It’s a fine line. As long as you have fun and the guys that do get hazed know that it’s all in fun and in the right manner, I think it’s great.” As soon as the rookies are done wearing those dresses, they think about sticking around long enough to see the next generation do the same. “Hopefully that continues,” said Heisey, in his second season in Cincinnati. “Hopefully I can play long enough to do those fun things with the rookies at some point in time.” Got Migraine Headaches?

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Nearly five hours of tennis in one day caught up with Rafael Nadal, who couldn’t keep up with a much fresher Mardy Fish and lost 6-3, 6-4 at the Western & Southern Open on Friday. Fish’s first career win over the second-ranked Nadal sent him into the tournament’s semifinals for the second straight year. The American lost to Roger Federer in the title match last year. Fourth-seeded Andy Murray also reached the semifinals. In the wideopen women’s bracket, Maria Sharapova advanced in straight sets. Nadal’s tired legs and burned fingertips had something to do with Fish’s breakthrough win. A day earlier, the 25year-old Spaniard needed three tiebreakers and 3 hours, 38 minutes to beat Fernando Verdasco. That was followed by a 70-minute doubles match. Plus, his right hand was bothering him — he burned the tips of his index and middle fin- Sunday Times-Sentinel Meigs • 992-2155 Gallia • 446-2342 »»» »» Save Money on Your T No V o P OC Utility Bills with oll ute Thermal Insulating Paint for HOME • INDUSTRY • TRANSPORTATION Gheen’s Painting Inc. “T Long Bottom, Ohio hi No 1-800-554-5582 Pa nne 1-740-949-0405 in rs t ” 1-740-590-3700 tournament began, and had to play with them heavily bandaged. Fish knew everything was on his side this time in the lopsided rivalry — he’d never come close to beating Nadal in their six previous matches, winning a total of two sets. He kept the ball in play, moved Nadal around the court and waited for his running-on-fumes opponent to make a mistake. After only a few games on a sunny, 82degree afternoon, Nadal’s green shirt was soaked with sweat. Usually demonstrative on court, Nadal was subdued for most of the match, focused on mak- arms when his forehand passing shot from the baseline finished it off. Fish will play Murray, who advanced with a 63, 6-3 win over 10thseeded Gilles Simon of France. Murray, the 2008 champion, has beaten Simon in seven consecutive matches. In the injury-depleted women’s bracket, the fourth-seeded Sharapova advanced easily with a 6-3, 6-2 win over 10thseeded Samantha Stosur.

Sheriff’s Office focuses on bus safety As the start of the new school year approaches, officials with the Gallia County Sheriffʼs Office, Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Gallipolis Police Department are urging motorists to be cautious of school buses loading and unloading children, as well as to obey traffic laws in school zones. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, in the upcoming school year, due to a traffic safety grant, the sheriffʼs office will be assisting other local law enforcement agencies by stepping up traffic enforcement and targeting school zones to support bus drivers, the local school districts and to raise public awareness of school bus safety. Photo courtesy of the Gallia County Sheriffʼs Office Ohio Briefs New fence on Ohio bridge meant to stop suicides AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Years of discussion and concern have resulted in the installation of a fence meant to stop people from jumping off an Ohio city’s “Suicide Bridge.” That’s what some have called Akron’s “AllAmerica Bridge” or “YBridge,” from which dozens have leaped to their deaths since the mid-1990s. The local newspaper reports work is now under way following a delay due to a problem with the coating on the fence material. The fence will sit atop a low concrete wall and go up about 10 feet. It’s being added to the bridge as part of $6.2 million in upgrades for the span. McCartney show in Cincy makes $151K for county CINCINNATI (AP) — Paul McCartney’s recent performance at the Cincinnati Reds’ ballpark was music to the ears of county officials, because the event made about $151,000. The local newspaper reports that it learned through a public records request that the proceeds for Hamilton County included about $36,500 from parking and $50,000 from renting out Great American Ball Park for the Aug. 4 concert. The county and its taxpayers own the stadium. McCartney’s show was the first full-fledged concert held there since it opened in 2003. County stadium manager Terry Evans calls the event a “huge success.” The Enquirer reports the money will be placed into a fund dedicated toward stadium maintenance and construction. That account is facing a deficit projected to hit $15 million at the end of 2012. Ohio finds more mosquitoes carrying West Nile DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Health officials and pest controllers say this year’s Ohio weather patterns have meant more mosquitoes, including more carrying West Nile virus. Ohio Department of Health spokeswoman Shannon Libby says 248 pools of mosquitoes collected from traps have tested positive for the virus so far this year. That’s up from 78 by this time in 2010. Libby tells the local newspaper that Ohio has had no reports of human cases of West Nile, which can lead to coma, paralysis and death. An official with the public health agency serving Dayton and Montgomery County describes a “bumper crop” of mosquitoes because of the weather, which has served up a wet spring followed by a dry summer. A mosquito control company says the pests are more plentiful than in years. Is the Economy Jeopardizing Your Health? Cincinnati family finds 14-foot python in backyard CINCINNATI (AP) — A Cincinnati family suspected a snake was nearby when their dogs found large amounts of shed snakeskin in their backyard. But they didn’t expect it to be a 14-foot, 120-pound reticulated python. Nathaniel Allbright and his father, Alfred, tell the local newspaper one of their dogs found the snake Wednesday under a tarp. Nathaniel Allbright says he fashioned a noose out of pipe and rope to transfer the snake into a trash can. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals now has the snake and says it’s not clear how the python entered the yard. Reticulated pythons are named for the cross-hatching patterns on their skin. The largest recorded one was 32 feet, 9 1/2 inches long when it was killed in 1912 in Indonesia.

Most of the measures in question were passed in 1985 and cover registration, possession, display and sale of firearms within the city and ban carrying guns in city parks even if state allows it. The local newspaper reports the suit was filed Friday by Ohioans for Concealed Carry and Cleveland Heights resident Philip Mulivor. A 2006 state law blocks cities from passing tougher local measures, such as assault weapon bans and handgun registration requirements. Cleveland Heights law director John Gibbon says the city no longer enforces a park sign banning firearms. He plans to review the ordinances with an eye toward any needed repeals or changes. 100-mile canoe trip marks start of school year PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — Two Marshall University students decided they wanted to start their senior year in style, so they embarked on a 100-mile canoe trip to campus. Longtime friends Sam Kelch and Michael Tanner completed their four-day journey from Parkersburg to Huntington on Tuesday night. To pass the hours, they listened to music and tried to catch fish using a milk jug. At night, they pitched a tent along the river near Ravenswood, and the Ohio towns of Pomeroy and Gallipolis. Tanner tells the local newspaper the experience was “really cool” and he would do it again in a heartbeat. The biology majors start the school year next Monday. Kelch has plans to go to dentistry school, while Tanner plans to go to medical school. Ohio amusement park dumps criticized Halloween names SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio amusement park says it will have new names this year for two Halloween attractions that drew complaints from mental health advocates. The National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI, said Cedar Point promoted false stereotypes last Halloween by calling a haunted house “Dr. D. Menteds Asylum for the Criminally Insane” and a musical show “The Edge of Madness: Still Crazy.” The local newspaper quotes CEO Dick Kinzel of parent company Cedar Fair as saying the haunted house will keep the hospital theme but be renamed. He says Cedar Point doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. A park spokesman says the show will change to “The Edge of Madness: Six Feet Under.” NAMI Ohio chapter executive director Terry Russell says Cedar Point is moving in the right direction.

High court punts challenge to new Ohio jobs board COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has dismissed the lawsuit of a liberal policy group seeking to stall the start-up of the private job-creation board JobsOhio. The high court said Friday that ProgressOhio needs its action in another court and executive director Brian Rothenberg said the group is considering that option. Rothenberg said the court should have done more to delay work on JobsOhio while it considered whether its make-up and handling of state money were constitutional. He accused justices of playing politics by waiting until a day after Gov. John Kasich delivered his proposal to lawmakers for shifting state responsibilities to the board. Kasich created the board earlier this year with the intent of making Ohio more nimble at attracting new jobs. The transition will reduce 211 state positions. The Gallia County Gun Club received more than $12,000 from the Gallia Area Friends of the NRA at the 2011 fundraiser event. Pictured, from left, are: GAFNRA Chairman Larry Betz and Gallia County Gun Club President Bill McCreedy. The Mercerville Full Metal Jackets 4-H received $4,000 from the Gallia NRA group. Pictured are GAFNRA Chairman Larry Betz and 4-H Advisor Roy Jones. Low Cost and Value are smart decisions, especially in this economy.
