Of the eight bids pre- sented for the facility that will house the Gallipolis Municipal Court, Gallipolis City Solicitor’s Office and Gallipolis Police Department, the lowest and best bid came in from the Kinsale Corporation of Chester, Ohio, at $1,467,334. “You’re getting an excellent, excellent, excellent deal,” Project Engineer Randy Breech said. “It would be pre- pared, if we can be ready in time, in about three weeks, to begin construction.” The structure will be located at 518 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, the former location of the Gallipolis Municipal Building which once housed all of the city offices. The structure was demolished earlier this year to make way for the new 12,000 square foot facility. Breech further reported that, in his experience, the city commission should good service from the contractor. “In my experience with them, it used to be Wesam Construction ... I’ve had nothing but good luck with them and they’ve done projects at Ohio University, University of Rio Grande and, from what understand, everything has gone fine,” Breech said. A day of remembrance Tribute to veterans planned for Sept. 10 WEATHER BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion, along with other veterans organizations are moving forward on plans for another day of appreciation and remembrance of all those who have faithfully served their country in times of war. This third annual observa n c e o f Ve t e r a n s Appreciation and POW/MIA Remembrance Day will be held Saturday, Sept. 10. it will kickoff with a parade down Main Street in Pomeroy led by the Legion Color Guard and Grand Marshall Nathan Biggs, a World War II veteran. Several high school bands, military units, veterans organizations and fire equipment of the area’s volunteer fire departments are expected to participate. Those wishing to take part are asked to contact Bill Spaun, (740) 416-5995, or Del Pullins, (740) 9853669. It is requested that entries be of a patriotic nature. Political units are not being accepted, and throwing candy or other said. “It’d be different if every child was required to take it.” Eastern Local School District Superintendent Scot Gheen agreed with Deem in the idea that the results can be skewed depending on the kids that take the tests. But, he said Ohio’s average is above the national average because of the state’s curriculum. “I think Ohio has a lot of strict mandates and regulations to our classes lining up to what the standards are in comparison to what the ACT wants. I think Ohio is just POMEROY — The state’s crime investigative agency’s new office in Athens will be of great benefit to their work, local law enforcement officials said Friday. Sheriff Robert Beegle, Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams, agents with the county’s major crimes task force and others attended an open house at the new Athens headquarters of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation Thursday. The office is located near the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s headquarters on Columbus Road. The office will receive evidence from local law enforcement agencies, and evidence will be returned there for pickup later, according to Williams. It will also serve as a site for interviews, and will have a full-time polygraph investigation unit. “The new office will definitely benefit Meigs County,” Williams said. “Our officers will save time on the road, normally spent transporting evidence. BCI agents assigned to our local cases will have a closer home base, allowing easier access to information.” “This will make our communications and our cases stronger.” Beegle said transporting crime scene evidence or witnesses to BCI’s main office in London for polygraph examination is costly and time consuming. He typically pays an officer for a 10-hour day when trips to the main London lab are required, so having access to BCI services just 30 minutes away will save the county considerable money. Beegle also agreed that the local office will increase efficiency for local law enforcement, because sometimes evidence accumulated before it was taken to London for analysis, delaying prosecutions. Attorney General Mike DeWine announced his plans to open a southeastern Ohio office for the BCI, which falls under his authority, in May, shortly after he took office. The office will serve 23 counties in southeastern Ohio, a territory to which a six-person narcotics team and a 12person major crimes/crime scene investigation unit. It will also allow a location for a statewide team assigned to investigate See ACT, A3 See BCI A3 File Photos American Legion members pay tribute to veterans with a parade float for freedom at last yearʼs Veterans Appreciation and POW/MIA Remembrance Day.

I think if everything went according to plan, the way we laid it out, we could potentially have up to 80 percent [land area] or more of the county covered by the end of three years.” Over the past several months, JB-Nets has been in contact with county officials discussing the prospect of leasing space on county-owned communications towers located on Boggs Road, Hamilton Road and Mound Hill Cemetery to expand high-speed Internet service to areas in the central and southern portions of the county. During a regular meeting of the Board of Gallia County Commissioners on Thursday, Kline was present to outline his company’s plan to extend this service. JB-Nets currently supplies Internet coverage to the northern portions of the county and, according to Kline, by utilizing county-owned towers, high-speed Internet coverage could be extened immediately with additional small secondary towers being placed over the next three years to implement coverage in some harder-to-reach areas. “We currently have approximately 30 percent covered with our current system,” Kline said. “The addition of the three towers, which would definetly give us some coverage in the southern part of the county, probably would expand an additional 20 See Broadband, A3 Area school officials react to low national ACT score report ANNA MARIE HARTENBACH AHARTENBACH@HEARTLANDPUBLICATIONS.COM High: 89 Low: 62 INDEX 3 SECTIONS — 18 PAGES Classifieds C2-4 Comics C5 Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Results of the test show only 28 percent of students who took the test in the Class of 2011 at Ohio public and private high schools met college readiness standards in English, reading, science and math. This percent- age is in comparison to 25 percent of national student test-takers. The average state composite score was 21.8. College science courses seem to be the area in which Ohio graduates are least prepared. In the 2011 graduating class, 35 percent scored high enough on the test to predict a C or better if they were taking a typical freshman biology course. Jon Erickson, Interim President of ACT’s Education Division, said in a statement that there are still too many students falling through the cracks in the educational system. Student test-takers at Southern Local School District fell around the state composite score, Superintendent Tony Deem said. The school, which generally has 50 to 60 students in their graduating class had 39 for the year. Deem said this makes it hard to paint a true picture of the scores when compared to schools that have 200 to 300 kids in their graduating classes. “ACT is such a different animal compared to OGT testing. Is it the measure of everything? That’s hard to say because not every student takes the ACT,” Deem �Sunday, September 4, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Extension Corner Hal Kneen Are yellow jackets becoming more numerous around your yard and outdoor eating areas? Homeowners are calling in with complaints that they are being stung by yellow jackets as they have been cutting the lawn, walking in the yard, or attempting to have a picnic outdoors. As we enter their feeding and nesting areas in the late summer the yellow jacket adults are more protective in their territory. Yellow jackets have lance-like stingers that can be repeatedly used to sting intruders, unlike honey bees whose stingers are barbed and can be used only once before it dies. Unfortunately, as it stings, the yellow jacket releases a pheromone (chemical odor) to signal to her sisters that an attacker is near by and please help her defend the nest. Soon we are stung by several other yellow jackets. The nest may be underground, in a wall/tree cavity or in a protected spot above ground. Each nest reaches its highest number of occupants (one thousand to five thousand adults) in late summer and early fall as food is plentiful. Late season adults feed on plant nectar, fruit, and tree sap, larvae waste products and even soft drinks. Immature larvae are fed protein (insects, meats, fish etc) regurgitated by foraging adult yellow jackets. Avoidance and remaining calm is still the best measure to prevent being stung. Clean up garbage, fallen fruit, and pop cans around outdoor playing and eating areas. Avoid wearing insect attractants such as heavy perfumes, scented soaps, and hair sprays. Watch wearing bright colors when yellow jackets are known to be in the area. If you are sensitive to their venom make sure you carry a “Medic Alert” wrist band or necklace. Carry an emergency kit with the appropriate medicine. Remain calm if a yellow jacket finds its way into a moving car. They will tend to fly to a window to escape. Pull over the car and roll down the window to release it. If a nest is in a well traveled area of the yard they may be controlled chemically using a dust of carbaryl (Sevin), bendiocarb (Ficam) or pyrethrin (Drione). Apply the dust in the entrance of the nest during cool temperatures: either early morning s or late evening hours. Avoid applying at the heat of the day when they are most aggressive.

Enjoy a great day learning about a native fruit! *** Fall is just around the corner. Each evening we are serenaded by male katydids calling for their mates. Joyce Williams in Gallia called the extension office as she found an unusual pink colored katydid on her back screen door. Normally, katydids are green in color, but pink and brown ones can be found in nature. The adult female katydid will soon lay small green sesame seedlike eggs on oak, cherry, apple, and maple twigs and leaves. These eggs will hatch next spring into small katydids to start their life cycle again.

State Issue 1 program begins new funding cycle; applications available GALLIA COUNTY — The State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP), better known as the State Issue 1 Program, the Small Governments Capital Improvement Program, and the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) are beginning their Round 26 funding cycles. Through these programs, financial assistance for public infrastructure projects is available to subdivisions in District 15, which includes the following southern Ohio counties: Adams, Brown, Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Counties, cities, villages, townships and certain special water and sewer districts may submit applications for funding. Eligible projects include the construction, repair, or replacement of roads, bridges and culverts — along with water, wastewater and stormwater systems. Financial assistance is available in the form of grants, nointerest loans and loan assistance (payment of interest on loans from other funding sources for a two-year period). The programs are competitive, as projects compete for funding with each other for a set allocation of funds. Each project is scored using an objective rating system, and funds are awarded on the basis of those scores.

That also includes paving some additional space across the street should you choose to do so.” Also during the meeting, the city commission made a motion to allow paperwork to be completed in regard to the loan that will be issued by a local bank to pay for the construction of the facility. Gallipolis City Auditor Annette Landers presented bids for interest rates for the loan and told the commission of her confidence in the city’s ability to pay for the construction of the facility. “I think the way it is right now, we’re going to be okay,” Landers said. “We’re going to be okay with the problems that are coming down the road. I feel confident of this or I would not even endorse this to you.” The city commission agreed to have an ordinance prepared regarding a 20 year 3.91 percent fixed rate interest loan from U.S. Bank that is expected to be brought before the commission during their regular meeting on Sept. 6. “Three point nine-one percent is awesome at almost anytime,” Landers said. “If you were go out in 10 years and finance this, you would have trouble financing it for less that 3.91, I believe.” A regularly scheduled Gallipolis City Commission meeting will be held at 7 p.m., Sept. 6, in the Gallipolis Municipal Courtroom, 49 Olive Street. to 25 percent coverage immediately — within probably 30 to 45 days. As we add these secondary towers — which we don’t have a real good idea of exactly where they are going to go because we definetely have to negotiate with land owners and things — we have proposed thirty of those ... in areas that currently don’t have the coverage. These smaller towers would help to procure coverage in that area.” In addition, Kline reported that, while the 80 percent land coverage area is a good goal, he is hopeful that his company will eventually exceed that mark. “Geographically we can cover 80-plus percent. We’re hoping that as we find places to put these smaller secondary sights, we might be able to bump that number up some,” Kline said. “Eighty percent is a good number. We probably can do better than that, but it’s one of those things where you under sale and overachieve.” Kline also stated that he is hopeful that the funding secured from new customers who will be covered following the connection of the countyowned towers, will help to move the process forward of placing the secondary towers throughout the county. “You can have all the vertical assests in the county used, whether it be water tanks or MARCS, but when it comes right down to it, you’re still Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A3 going to have valleys and nooks and crannies that you’re going to have to put small repeaters into and its going to take quite a bit of effort,” Kline said. “We kind of figured that the last 25 percent of the county is going to be the most expensive part to cover.” While JB-Nets will be looking to find property to locate their smaller repeater towers — towers that, reportedly, take up minimal space — Kline cautioned that rent for the towers would in no way be similiar to rent given to property owners from cell phone companies. “Our company itself, we can’t support something like that if we’re going to only get 35 or 40 customers off of that particular sight,” Kline said. “We do run into that hurdle quite a bit but a lot of people are pretty open to work with us especially the people who don’t have other options.” Kline further reported that the addition of his equipment to the county’s communication towers would not interfere with the radio communication signals currently broadcasting from the towers. “We actually are currently co-located on a couple of other towers that are running frequencies very similiar to what you guys are ... We cohabitate pretty easily,” Kline said. “We’ve never run into that in the past and to the best of knowledge the frequently range that we are using is excluded from any of that just for that particular reason.” The county commission and JB-Nets are expected to begin negotiations surrounding a lease agreement for the county-owned towers within the next few weeks. ACT From Page A1 a little bit ahead of that curve in my opinion. I think we use so many things that all gear together,” Gheen said. In terms of composite scores, Meigs Local School District was at 21.2. “Since 2007, our ACT composite scores have actually climbed all the way through last year. Our average is slightly below the state. The state average composite score is 21.8 and ours is 21.2,” Superintendent Rusty Bookman said. Gallia County Local School District Superintendent Dr. Charla Evans said the schools’ average have been consistently at or below the state level. Last year, the district began administering the PLAN, which is a precursor to the ACT test, she said. The PLAN is given to sophomore students as a way to better prepare students who plan on taking the ACT as well as to provide feedback to teachers on their curriculum. “We did that last year, and despite of the fact that we’ve had significant budget cuts, we have left that in place for this current year. We also are implementing an ACT component in our web-based Study Island program. That is a commercial program we use to really enhance our instructional program,” Evans said. “We believe that compared to where they are and where they need to be that we can work on bridging that gap.” Gallipolis City Schools met the state’s average in preparedness, with 28 percent of students test-takers meeting readiness standards, said Beth Covey, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Gallipolis City Schools. The district’s composite score was 21.5. In West Virginia, an AP news release shows that ACT test-taking, students performed better in some areas than their peers nationwide on the 2011 exam. Results show that 70 percent of 11,500 of students who took the test were ready for freshman level English courses, while the national rate was 66 percent. Compared to 52 percent nationally, 53 percent of West Virginia students were ready for freshman level reading. In terms of preparedness for college English, reading, math and science, only 17 percent of the state’s students met or surpassed the test’s benchmark measures – down from 18 percent in 2010. The state’s average composite fell from 20.7 in 2010 to 20.6 in comparison to the national composite of 21.1. Though the composite score in Mason County School District is below the state’s average, it is up .5 percent. Last year, Mason County had a 19.4 composite score and this year it was up to 19.9. Becky Hatfield, Director of Instruction and Curriculum, said last year the district trained the high school teachers to implement reading in all courses to help students improve in that area and this year they plan to work on writing across the curriculum to bring their success up in that area as well. “Mason County scores Thank You were up, and we have really been concentrating Tom Karr of on instruction in the last Karr Contracting couple of years,” Hatfield said. “We hope that the for purchasing scores keep rising, and my 2011 we had 166 students takMarket Goat ing the test in comparison with 151 the previous year.

CRAIG WEHRUNG, VICE PRESIDENT MEIGS TEA PARTY 9-12 PROJECT We, the Meigs Tea Party, feel the need to explain to local voters why the stalemate on raising the debt ceiling occurred. This issue is the greatest philosophical debate since the Civil Rights Act of 1963. The Tea Party was being painted by liberal Congressmen as “unfit to govern” and “unyielding”. It is true that our government has been largely based on legislative compromise. But, we must realize that compromise is not a cure-all in legislative affairs, as we saw with the unfortunate compromise on slavery in the mid 1800’s. Congressional compromise has long been based on giving “earmarks”. However, the ability to use “earmarks” as bargaining chips (pork-barrel spending) has thankfully been eliminated with impetus from the Tea Party movement. This wasteful spending had been used for decades to buy-off Congressional votes to achieve “compromise”. It was a corrupt system and deserved termination thanks to the push by newly-elected members of Congress. The rest of Congress has to rely on their huge donors who donate millions so that, in return, Congress will give them millions of dollars in the form of tax loopholes and government contracts. Believe me, they do not rely on the general population of voters. The House of Representatives required a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution as a condition for raising the debt ceiling. The reason this amendment is necessary is because the GrammHollings-Rudman Act (1985) to stop this kind of spending has been circumvented. A stronger requirement is needed. Over 70 percent of the American people support this amendment, and many liberal Congressmen have voiced their support as well. Ask yourself, “Why do Liberals adamantly reject a Balance Budget Amendment?” The answer is that Republicans and Democrats in Congress have become addicted to spending. Liberals do not want to be caught voting against this popular amendment. Therefore, they prefer that a Balanced Budget Amendment never be brought forward in the first place. Since the 1930’s, Congress has successfully “addicted” much of the public to socialism by giving away money. The greatest example is Social Security. It was never intended, nor set-up, as a retirement system with private accounts. The government simply takes Social Security tax money from current workers’ FICA withholdings and hands it to those already on Social Security — many of whom may never have paid any significant money into the system. Those on the far left (liberals) want more taxation, but they cannot define what level of taxation is fair. By failing to do so, they choose whatever amount is deemed “suitable”. We Americans already work nearly five months each year just to pay our tax bill. Isn’t this enough? Changes to the incometax law and raising the tax-rate were being demanded by President Obama to offset his huge budget deficit. However, 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax whatsoever. Even if taxes were raised, the amount of revenue generated would be miniscule compared to the deficit. So, ask yourself, “Why did he want this increase?” Simply it was another magician’s trick to divert your attention away from his massive spending ($3 million a minute all day long). He, and his minion, tried to make you think that [a lack of] tax revenue is the problem. The President and Senator Harry Reid used fear tactics in an attempt to force you to pressure Congress into giving up on spending-cuts and the Balanced Budget Amendment. They told us our credit rating would be downgraded from the long-standing AAA status. Folks, it was going down whether, or not, the budget ceiling was raised because Standard & Poor’s believed that our excessive spending and huge debt warranted a downgrade — the first time in the history of our nation. The government receives enough tax revenue each month to pay Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, the military, and the interest on the debt — so there was no chance of a default. Agreed, some less critical obligations may not have been paid. The priority of payments was up to President Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Now, some of the Liberals are screaming, “Well, the Tea Party almost caused us to default!” — as if almost falling down is the same as actually falling down. It all comes down to this — Do you want to make some sacrifice now, or lose it all in a few years? We cannot keep up this ever-faster rate of spending and not face a day of reckoning. Let’s be proactive and demand the elimination of deficit spending now. The Tea Party is sincere in its desire to see our great nation operate responsibly as our founding fathers intended, We Mike Rowe pleads for jobs to Senate Committee Mike Rowe, best known for celebrating the jobs most people avoid through his weekly "Dirty Jobs" television show, testified May 11, 2011, before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the need for more skilled labor. The Sunday Times-Sentinal is publishing his testimony in honor of Labor Day. Chairman Rockefeller, Ranking Member Hutchison and members of this committee, my name is Mike Rowe, and I want to thank you all very much for the opportunity to testify before you today. I'm here today because of my grandfather. His name was Carl Knobel, and he made his living in Baltimore as a master electrician. He was also a plumber, a mechanic, a mason, and a carpenter. Everyone knew him as a jack-of-all-trades. I knew him as a magician. For most of his life, my grandfather woke up clean and came home dirty. In between, he accomplished things that were nothing short of miraculous. Some days he might re-shingle a roof. Or rebuild a motor. Or maybe run electricity out to our barn. He helped build the church I went to as a kid, and the farmhouse my brothers and I grew up in. He could fix or build anything, but to my knowledge he never once read the directions. He just knew how stuff worked. I remember one Saturday morning when I was 12. I flushed the toilet in the same way I always had. The toilet however, responded in a way that was completely out of character. There was a rumbling sound, followed by a distant gurgle. Then, everything that had gone down reappeared in a rather violent and spectacular fashion. Naturally, my grandfather was called in to investigate, and within the hour I was invited to join he and my dad in the front yard with picks and shovels. By lunch, the lawn was littered with fragments of old pipe and mounds of dirt. There was welding and pipe-fitting, blisters and laughter, and maybe some questionable language. By sunset we were completely filthy. But a new pipe was installed, the dirt was back in the hole, and our toilet was back on its best behavior. It was one of my favorite days ever. Thirty years later in San Francisco, my toilet blew up again. This time, I didn't participate in the repair process. I just called my landlord, left a check on the kitchen counter, and went to work. When I got home, the mess was cleaned up and the problem was solved. As for the actual plumber who did the work, I never even met him. It occurred to me that I had become disconnected from a lot of things that used to fascinate me. I no longer thought about where my food came from, or how my electricity worked, or who fixed my pipes, or who made my clothes. There was no reason to. I had become less interested in how things got made, and more interested in how things got bought. At this point my grandfather was well into his 80s, and after a long visit with him one weekend, I decided to do a TV show in his honor. Today, Dirty Jobs is still on the air, and I am here before this committee, hoping to say something useful. So, here it is. I believe we need a national PR Campaign for Skilled Labor. A big one. Something that addresses the widening skills gap head on, and reconnects the country with the most important part of our workforce. Right now, American manufacturing is struggling to fill 200,000 vacant positions. There are 450,000 openings in trades, transportation and utilities. The skills gap is real, and it's getting wider. In Alabama, a third of all skilled tradesmen are over 55. They're retiring fast, and no one is there to replace them. A few months ago in Atlanta I ran into Tom Vilsack, our Secretary of Agriculture. Tom told me about a governor who was unable to move forward on the construction of a power plant. The reason was telling. It wasn't a lack of funds. It wasn't a lack of support. It was a lack of qualified welders. In general, we're surprised that high unemployment can exist at the same time as a skilled labor shortage. We shouldn't be. We've pretty much guaranteed it. In high schools, the vocational arts have all but vanished. We've elevated the importance of "higher education" to such a lofty perch that all other forms of knowledge are now labeled "alternative." Millions of parents and kids see apprenticeships and on-the-jobtraining opportunities as "vocational consolation prizes," best suited for those not cut out for a four-year degree. And still, we talk about millions of "shovel ready" jobs for a society that doesn't encourage people to pick up a shovel. In a hundred different ways, we have slowly marginalized an entire category of critical professions, reshaping our expectations of a "good job" into something that no longer looks like work. A few years from now, an hour with a good plumber (if you can find one) is going to cost more than an hour with a good psychiatrist. At which point we'll all be in need of both. I came here today because guys like my grandfather are no less important to civilized life than they were 50 years ago. Maybe they're in short supply because we don't acknowledge them they way we used to. We leave our check on the kitchen counter, and hope the work gets done. That needs to change. My written testimony includes the details of several initiatives designed to close the skills gap, all of which I've had the privilege to participate in. Go Build Alabama, I Make America, and my own modest efforts through Dirty Jobs and mikeroweWORKS. I'm especially proud to announce "Discover Your Skills," a broad-based initiative from Discovery Communications that I believe can change perceptions in a meaningful way. I encourage you to support these efforts, because closing the skills gap doesn't just benefit future tradesmen and the companies desperate to hire them. It benefits people like me, and anyone else who shares my addiction to paved roads, reliable bridges, heating, air conditioning, and indoor plumbing. The skills gap is a reflection of what we value. To close the gap, we need to change the way the country feels about work. �Sunday, September 4, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Obituaries Deaths Roger Barron Roger Barron, 85, Bastiani Drive, Gallipolis, passed away at 11:40 p.m., Thursday, September 1, 2011, in Arbors at Gallipolis.

Lee hauled in a pair of scoring tosses from Trenton Gibbs covering 56 and 47 yards in addition to running for a 44 yard score as Wahama tallied 22 unanswered points in the second half to pull away for the win. The victory was the second straight TVC triumph over the Tomcats and was the Falcons 12th consecutive regular season win. Trimble falls for the second week in a row after dropping a 42-6 decision to NelsonvilleYork in its season opener last week. Wahama jumped out to an early 14-0 lead after scoring twice in the opening quarter before Trimble battled back with 15 unanswered points to take a 15-14 edge. A 56 yard strike from Gibbs to Lee was followed by a 28 yard run by Anthony Grimm for the first two Wahama scores with Zack Wamsley tacking on the points after with a pair of PAT kicks. Trimble answered with a five yard run by Austin Keith and a 28 yard pass play from Justin Jewell to Konner Standley. Standley also caught a two-point conversion following the Tomcats first score with Jon Stevens booting the extra point after the second Trimble touchdown. The game was interrupted late in the first half when the lights went out due to a power outage that lasted some 30 minutes with both teams agreeing to continue after only part of the lights returned.

The game was made even more exciting due to the fact the scoreboard was not operating and fans were kept in the dark of the time. The officials kept time on the field and did a good job keeping both benches informed of the time. Fairland received the kickoff to start the contest and the Marauders held. Jesse Smith blasted through the line and blocked Colten Bell’s punt, but the ball went past the line of scrimmage and was touched by a Meigs player. Bell recovered for the Dragons at the Dragon 43. Two plays later however, Fairland fumbled and the Marauders Chris Jones, picked the ball out of the air and returned it five yards. Ten plays later the Marauders took a 6-0 lead when Dillon Boyer hit Zach Sayre on a fourth and 12 from 23 yards out and the score. Meigs was driving at the end of the first period, and scored on the third play of the second period when Jeffrey Roush scored from six yards out. Boyer’s pass was no good, but the Marauders held a 12-0 lead. Fairland took the kickoff and drove to the Marauder 35, but once again Smith came up with a key play sacking quarterback Kyle Sowards for a 10 yard loss and forcing a fumble, which Smith recovered. One second down Boyer hit Sayre down the right sideline for a 39 yard pass that Sayre bobbled and pulled in while he was falling to the turf and the Dragon 10. Two plays later Roush blasted over from six yards outs. Roush added the extra points and Meigs went in to the locker room with a 20-0 lead. Meigs received the kickoff, but on second down the Marauders started making the mistakes the hampered them last week in their loss at Coal Grove. Meigs fumbled and JB Lange recovered for the Dragons at the Meigs 35. Three plays later Sowards scored from six yards out. Cody Midkff added the kick and the Dragons had cut the Meigs lead to 20-7. The scored fired up Fairland who forced a three and out, and forced a Meigs punt. Seven plays later Tyree Cesar blasted up the middle 31 yards for the score. The extra points were no good, but the Dragons had pulled to within 2013. But Zach Sayre brought the Maroon and Gold fans to their feet on the kickoff.

Rebels shut out Southern, 34-0 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM MERCERVILLE, Ohio — It had been nearly three years since the South Gallia football team (2-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) had held an opponent scoreless. On Friday evening they did just that, against the same opponent they had last shut out. South Gallia’s last shut out came on September 5, 2008, at Southern High School, and nearly three years later the Rebels once again held the Tornadoes scoreless. The Tornadoes (0-2, 0-1 TVC Hocking) were not with- out scoring chances in the game, but never moved the ball inside the South Gallia 10 yard line in the game. The Rebels took the opening possession, with a 15 yard penalty on the Tornadoes giving South Gallia the ball just across midfield. Starting at the Southern 47 yard line, it took the Rebel offense just six plays to put the ball in the end zone. Senior quarterback Cory Haner ran the ball 26 yards for the opening score, with the extra point kick going wide right. The Rebels led 6-0 at the 8:24 mark of the first quarter. Southern could not move the ball on its first possession, punting the ball to the Rebels. The Tornadoes quickly got the ball back, with the Rebels fumbling on the third play of their second drive. The Tornadoes looked to tie the game, starting their next drive at the South Gallia 34 yard line. Multiple carries by Austin Barton and a 19 yard pass from Danny Ramthun to Trenton Deem put the Tornadoes at the 10 yard line. After a loss of three yards the Tornadoes were faced with fourth down at the 13 yard line of the Rebels.

Smith and junior Rob Canady fired matching 2-under par rounds of 35 to earn co-medalist honors for the SEOAL champion Blue Devils. PATASKALA, Ohio — What goes around, comes around. One week after Athens spoiled its season opener with some fourth quarter magic, the Gallia Academy football team returned the favor to host Licking Heights Friday night — scoring 10 unanswered points down the stretch to claim a hard-fought 17-7 victory in a Week 2 non-conference matchup in Licking County. The visiting Blue Devils (1-1) never trailed in the contest, jumping out to an early 7-0 advantage in the first quarter. The host Hornets (0-2) countered with a touchdown score in the second canto, which tied the game at seven headed into the intermission. After a scoreless third quarter, the Blue Devils found their offensive rhythm in the fourth — which resulted in 10 consecutive points that allowed the Blue and White to come away with their first victory of the 2011 campaign. For a second consecutive week, the Gallia Academy defense held its opponent to under 266 yards of total offense. But unlike last weekend against Athens, the Blue Devil offense managed to churn out some yardage. GAHS outgained Licking Heights by a 215-203 edge in total yards after producing just 71 yards offensively a week ago. That sizable difference was noticeable Friday night, particularly down the stretch. Tied at seven in the fourth canto, Brandon Taylor gave GAHS the lead permanently after nailing a 40-yard field goal at the 9:29 mark — making it a 10-7 contest. LHHS was forced into a punting situation on its ensuing drive, but the snap wasn’t handled properly by Sherard Pollard. Pollard picked up the ball on the botched play and tried to run for a first down, but was pulled down just short of the first down marker — allowing GAHS to take over possession due to a loss of downs. The Blue Devils then found themselves in a small bit of trouble on their ensuing drive, as the guests faced a 4th-and-9 at the hosts 23-yard line.

We had a great crowd at Cliffside today, and we want to thank everyone for coming out to support the team,” Luce said. “I’m happy for these kids. This was one of our goals for this year and they have worked very hard to achieve this. I’m proud of what this team has accomplished together so far.” Rob Canady and Boeing Smith shared medalist honors with matching rounds of 35, which is 2-under par on the nine-hole course. Canady had three birdies and a bogey for GAHS, while Smith added an eagle, a birdie and a bogey. Nick Saunders was next with 38, while Corey Arthur closed the scoring with a 40. Daniel Rees and Derrick Gilmore also shot respective score of 42 and 48 for the Blue Devils. Warren and Logan tied for second with a team score of 172, but the Warriors’ fifth score was better — allowing WHS to earn second place. Jackson was fourth with a 184, while Portsmouth (194) edged Chillicothe by two shots for fifth. Zack McKenna and Michael Sams paced Warren with matching 42s, followed by Rees Patton and Steve Farley with identical 44s. Ian Zoller broke the tie with Logan with a 45, while Adam Lang added a 47 for the Warriors. Tristin Myers and Logan Holbrook led Logan with matching efforts of 42, followed by Jordan Fizer with a 43 and Jacob Berry with a 45. Kris and Caleb Cummings added respective efforts of 46 and 47 for the Chieftains. Alec Ray led the Ironmen with a round of 42, while Evan Massie added a 44. Tyler Williams and Cole Massie rounded out the scoring with matching 49s, and Logan Simpson also added a 54 for JHS. Levi Porter led PHS with a 44, followed by Drew Miller with 46 and Brandon Jones with 50. Joe Amburgey completed the Trojan score with a 54, while Jacob Call a second consecutive week — were on the plus end of turnover differential, as the guests went without a turnover in the triumph. Licking Heights committed one fumble, which proved to be the only giveaway of the night. Gallia Academy produced a 12-10 advantage in first downs and were flagged only three times for 27 yards, compared to eight penalties and 47 yards for the Hornets. The Blue Devils churned out 141 rushing yards on 49 attempts and added another 74 passing yards, while LHHS had 134 rushing yards on 24 totes and 69 passing yards. Brandon Taylor led the guests with a game-high 102 rushing yards on 29 carries, followed by Wade Jarrell with 13 yards on nine tries. Jarrell was also 6-of-9 passing for 74 yards, with Justin Bailey leading the receiving corps with one catch for 30 yards. Jeff Smith paced the Hornets with 38 rushing yards on five carries, followed by A.J. Mitchell with 36 yards on eight attempts. Strickland was 5-of-18 passing for 69 yards, with Wiafe leading the wideouts with two grabs for 61 yards. Gallia Academy — which is now 1-0 in road games this fall — returns to action Friday when it travels to Wellston for a Week 3 non-conference matchup. Kickoff at the new C.H. Jones Field is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page B3 Talk about embracing the number one spot: Point Pleasant crushes Tolsia BY ANDY LAYTON SPORTS CORRESPONDENT After another three and out forced by the Big Blacks defense, it was back to work for the offense. Senior quarterback Eric Roberts quickly connected with senior tight end Jason Stouffer after throwing on the run for a 32 yard strike. The Tolsia offense finally collected its first big play of the night with a nice run by Copley but it was a short lived possession due to penalties and big plays from the Big Blacks defense. Tolsia was forced to punt from deep in their own territory and senior Brandon Toler proceeded to return the punt for his first touchdown of the season. On the first play for Tolsia on their next possession, senior safety Layne Thompson recorded his first interception of the season. The next Big Blacks possession ended with Darst’s second touchdown, a 30 yard dash, of the night and it was 35-0 just one play into the second quarter. Tolsia was finally able to strike on offense with an 80 yard touchdown pass from Jacob Copley to Morgan Williamson. The success would be shortlived for the Rebels as that would be their last score until 7:08 left in the game. The rest of the first half featured three touchdown drives. Senior fullback Jerrod Long had a six yard run, followed by a Marquez Griffin 10 yard dash, and the half ended with a 71 yard scamper from junior Zach Canterbury. With all of that offense in one half, the second half was played mostly by the junior varsity squad, with every member of the team getting a chance to play under the lights. Senior halfback Anthony Darst ended as the leading rusher on POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The number one ranked Big Blacks rolled to a 63-16 victory over the Tolsia Rebels to start the 2011 season. The Big Blacks rolled to 522 yards of total offense and scattered the offense effort between several different players. “It was a great start for us,” said fifth year Big Blacks Head Coach Dave Darst. “We played well tonight but we have to continue to get better as the season goes on.” It was a great offensive effort from the start with the Big Blacks totaling 56 points before the second quarter ended. The offense was outstanding but it was the tough defense that held the Rebels to very little yardage throughout the first half. “Josh Hereford played an outstanding game — he set the tone from the start of the game with his kickoff return. The quarterback (Copley) is one of the best athletes in the state and we did a pretty good job of shutting him down all night.” Hereford — senior linebacker and tight end — caught the ball on the kickoff and proceeded to run over a Tolsia defender to start the game off, setting the tone from the start. The first drive of the game started with runs from sophomore Teran Barnitz and eventually resulted in an Anthony Darst touchdown, his first of three scores. On the kickoff, junior Josh Parsons kicked the first of seven — yes, seven — touchbacks on the night. The defense stood strong from the start with a quick three and out. The Big Blacks next possession resulted in a quick 63 yard touchdown by junior fullback Tylun Campbell. Please see POINT, B4 added a round of 61. Pierce Knisley led Chillicothe with a 45, followed by Gabe Preston with a 47 and Tyler Morrisey with a 49. W.P. Noah and Stephen Gilliland also had efforts of 55 and 60. With one SEOAL match left to be played at Franklin Valley Golf Club in Jackson, the Blue Devils find themselves with a 25-0 league record. Gallia Academy has also won medalist honors at 12 of the 13 competitions competed in this fall. Even with all the success, and now a league title, Luce says it is more important than ever to stay focused on getting better. After all, there’s still a month of golf that can be played — if properly prepared. “We still have work to do. We have to remain focused for next week’s league match at Jackson,” Luce said. “There’s a lot more golf to be played and we have more goals to accomplish.” Through five matches, Warren now sits in second place in the SEOAL standings at 18-7, followed by Logan (17-8), Jackson (10-15), Chillicothe (3-22) and Portsmouth (2-23). Thursday’s match at Jackson will determine second and fifth places. Gallia Academy and Jackson are locked in at first and fourth, respectively. The SEOAL finale will start at 4:30 p.m. Gallia Academy 17, Licking Heights 7 GA LH 7-0-0-10 — 17 0-7-0-0 — 7 Scoring Summary First Quarter GA — Brandon Taylor 4 run (Brandon Taylor kick) 8:08 Second Quarter LH — Andre Wiafe 33 pass from Darius Strickland (C.R.

After the opening play of the fourth quarter, the Vikings had all but closed the door on the hosts’ rally hopes. Symmes Valley scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, allowing the guests to turn a 26-12 lead into a comfortable 4012 decision over the Raiders in a Week 2 nonconference matchup at Raider Field in Gallia County. The Vikings (2-0) never trailed in the contest and led 20-6 after 12 minutes before taking a sizable 266 advantage into the intermission. The Raiders (1-1) rallied back with the lone third quarter score to pull within a dozen points with 2:19 left in the canto, but the guests went 54 yards to paydirt on the opening play of the fourth — which allowed SVHS to take a 32-12 lead with 11:50 left in regulation. RVHS never came closer the rest of the way, as the Vikings added a safety and another TD late in the contest — allowing the guests to come away with the 28point triumph. Symmes Valley outgained the Raiders by a 453-205 difference in total yards, which included a thunderous output of 353 rushing yards on 50 attempts. The guests also had twice as many first downs as the hosts (16-8), and both teams had one turnover on the night. River Valley’s offense stalled on the opening drive, which resulted in a three-and-out punt. The ensuing return by D.J. Miller went 82 yards to the house, allowing SVHS to take a 7-0 lead with 10:15 remaining in the opening quarter. The Raiders countered with their first score at the 4:26 mark, as Trey Noble hauled in a 62-yard TD Point from Page B3 the night with 7 rushes for 131 yards with three touchdowns. Junior Tylun Campbell had four rushes for 80 yards and Zach Canterbury had one rush for 71 yards. Copley — the standout quarterback for the Rebels — was held to just 13 yards rushing and 5 of 9 passing for 101 yards. The Big Blacks will play next Friday night on the road against the Sissonville Indians.

The scoring drive covered 80 yards in four plays and lasted just 54 seconds. Alec Herrell extended the Vikings’ edge to 13-6 with 3:03 left in the opening stanza, scrambling in from five yards out to cap a three-play, 14-yard drive that lasted 1:09. Herrell added a 68-yard jaunt with 1:02 remaining in the first quarter to give the guests a 20-6 cushion after one quarter of play. Herrell added his third and final rushing score of the night at the 2:16 mark of the second canto, rumbling 54 yards to paydirt for a 26-6 intermission advantage. The score stayed that way for most of the third quarter, but a Patrick Williams two-yard scoring run allowed the Silver and Black to pull back to within two scores at 26-12 with 2:19 remaining in the period. The Raiders, however, never came closer the rest of the way. Symmes Valley was facing a 3rd-and-11 at its own 46 to start the fourth, but Scott Dial hauled in a 54yard scoring pass from Cody Myers just 10 seconds into the finale — allowing the guests to take a 32-12 edge. SVHS added a safety when Grant Foster sacked Whobrey in the endzone at the 7:54 mark, making it a 34-12 contest. Tanner Mays also intercepted a Whobrey pass with 33 seconds left and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown — rounding out the final tally at 40-12. The Raiders — who had 137 passing yards and 68 rushing yards on 31 attempts — were penalized just four times for 36 yards, while the Vikings had nine penalties for 75 yards. RVHS had just two first downs in the second half, both of which came in the third period.

No. 18 OSU shuts out Akron, 42-0 BY RUSTY MILLER AP SPORTS WRITER COLUMBUS — Starting his first game in eight years, quarterback Joe Bauserman ran for a touchdown and threw for three to tight end Jake Stoneburner to lead No. 18 Ohio State to a 42-0 win over Akron on Saturday in a sweltering season opener. Luke Fickell made his headcoaching debut for the Buckeyes after being elevated from defensive assistant to take the place of Jim Tressel, who was shoved out in the wake of an ugly NCAA scandal. Stoneburner became the first Ohio State tight end to catch three TD passes in a game. Bauserman, starting for the first time since he was a senior in high school, ran for a 15-yard score and threw TD passes of 28, 11 and 2 yards to Stoneburner. The nearby Ohio State Medical Center reported around 20 people were treated for heatrelated illnesses. Buckeyes freshmen also had a big day. Heralded freshman quarterback Braxton Miller tossed a TD pass to another true freshman, Devin Smith, and classmate Rod Smith ran for a score. Bauserman, who spent the last two years on the sidelines watching Terrelle Pryor play, completed 12 of 16 passes for 163 yards and the three scores with no interceptions. Akron's offense managed just 90 total yards. The Zips, 1-11 a year ago, came closest to scoring when a 41-yard field goal just before the half went wide. In addition to the final score, every stat was lopsided in Ohio State's favor, including first downs (27-5), rushing yards (224-35) and sacks (5-0). Almost half the crowd was gone by halftime as the temperature soared to the high 90s with high humidity. One official had to leave the game due to dehydration. The first half lasted almost 90 minutes thanks to three lengthy video reviews. It was way too long for the Zips, that's for sure. The Buckeyes scored on their first possession and twice late in the half. Bauserman, a 25-year-old former Pittsburgh Pirates prospect as a pitcher, completed passes for 9 and 28 yards on the opening drive, capped by an Akron misplay. On a blown play, Bauserman turned to hand off the ball to a back but there was no one there. He sidestepped a defender and zigzagged through several more potential tacklers on a lumbering 15-yard touchdown — his first in college. The Buckeyes led 21-0 after Bauserman hit Stoneburner on scoring passes of 28 yards and 11 yards, the second coming after Andrew Sweat picked off a pass that was tipped by teammate Dominic Clarke. Not everything was golden for Ohio State. Acclaimed freshman tailback Rod Smith fumbled the ball away at the Akron 4 on the Buckeyes' second possession. Miller was ineffective, losing yards on his first series. And Bauserman could have been sacked several times but the Zips failed to wrap him up when they had a clear shot. But just about everything else went the Buckeyes' way. Ohio State went with one of its youngest starting lineups ever with just six seniors starting. Another reason for all the youth is the legion of NCAA problems surrounding the program. The Buckeyes were without seven players for the opener. Leading returning receiver DeVier Posey, top 2010 rusher Dan Herron, starting offensive tackle Mike Adams and backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, are all suspended for the first five games for accepting cash and tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking probe. They were also without linebacker Jordan Whiting, who will sit out only the first game for the same NCAA violation. This week the Buckeyes announced that starting tailback Jordan Hall, first-team cornerback Travis Howard and backup safety Corey "Pittsburgh" Brown were suspended indefinitely for receiving less than $300 in gifts from a charity earlier this year, also an NCAA violation. Ohio State has appealed to the NCAA for their reinstatement after one game, but no one knows when they'll return. Ohio State is already awaiting final sanctions from the NCAA after its hearing before the committee on infractions on Aug. 12. The school has vacated the 2010 season's 12-1 record because Tressel used ineligible players, will pay $338,000 in bowl money to charity and will go on two years of NCAA probation. In addition, Tressel was forced to resign on May 30 and star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, a focal point of a lengthy NCAA investigation into improper benefits, left the program to jump to the NFL. The 38-year-old Fickell is the sixth former Ohio State assistant to assume the head coaching job. Clayton Moore, a junior-college transfer making his first start for Akron, completed 6 of 16 passes for 54 yards when he wasn't being harassed by Ohio State's line. The road loss was the Zips' 15th in a row. Penn State overwhelms Indiana State 41-7 BY GENARO C. ARMAS AP SPORTS WRITER STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Chaz Powell set the tone by returning the game's opening kickoff 95 yards for a score and Silas Redd led an overwhelming Penn State ground game with two rushing touchdowns in a 41-7 win Saturday over Indiana State. Joe Paterno coached from the press box more than three weeks after suffering shoulder and pelvis injuries from an accidental collision in practice, though the Nittany Lions didn't miss a beat against the Sycamores — an FCS team. Redd ran for 94 of his 104 yards by the second quarter, including a 4-yard score for a 28-0 lead. Rob Bolden started at quarterback, splitting time with Matt McGloin. Indiana State managed 170 yards of total offense and got pushed around by a Penn State team anxious to rebound from last year's 7-6 campaign. Michael Zordich displayed the Nittany Lions' early physical superiority on back-to-back plays in the first quarter, throwing a devastating block up the middle to spring Redd loose for the tailback's first score, from 9 yards. On the ensuing kickoff, Zordich leveled Sycamore return man Leonard Riston near the sideline for a violent end to a 21yard return. Paterno, who made "toughness" the keyword for preseason camp, surely relished what he witnessed from the press box. He had pronounced himself "50-50" this week to coach from the sideline. The Nittany Lions got a nice warmup for next week's considerably tougher game — a visit from No. 2 Alabama. Both Bolden and McGloin got equal shots in what may well have been an extended audition for the starting gig against the Crimson Tide. Bolden, who started his second straight seasonopener, finished 6 of 12 for 37 yards. He could have thrown for more had a couple of nice throws downfield not bounced off the hands of receivers Derek Moye and Justin Brown, respectively. McGloin was 6 of 8 for 77 yards, with the offense looking crisper at times under his watch, especially in the 14-point second quarter. Indiana State quarterback Ronnie Fouch, a Washington transfer, spent much of the afternoon on the run. Sacked on his first play by Gerald Hodges and intercepted on his second series by Drew Astorino, Fouch finished 11 of 23 passing for 102 yards with two interceptions and a touchdown. On a warm, muggy day with temperatures in the low 80s, the Happy Valley party got started 13 seconds in after Powell sidestepped his way around defenders before sprinting down the field for his 95-yard return on the opening kickoff. After a three-and-out for Indiana State, Redd capped up the next drive with his 9-yard score, aided by Zordich's big block. Redd finished with 12 carries, spending much of the second half on the sideline with the game well in hand. Penn State ran for 245 yards on the afternoon. It wasn't the kind of start Indiana State coach Trent Miles was looking for, though it was hardly unexpected against the more talented Nittany Lions. The Sycamores are coming off a 6-5 season in 2010, which ended a staggering streak of 60 losses in 62 games. No David and Goliath-type upset on Saturday. At least Indiana State does get to return home with an estimated $450,000-$475,000, according to Miles, which will help pay bills for the entire athletic department. It wasn't entirely all smiles for Penn State. The offensive line struggled in pass protection, with Bolden and McGloin taking more hits than expected against a defense from a lower-division school. That doesn't bode well next week when the speedy Crimson Tide roll into town. The kicking game will need work, too. Evan Lewis, missed field goals from 38 and 47, along with an extra-point attempt in the third quarter. The presumed starting kicker, Anthony Fera, is on the bench because of off-field issues. �Sunday, September 4, 2011 Rebels from Page B1 quarterback/place kicker Danny Ramthun’s field goal attempt failed, leaving the Tornadoes scoreless. South Gallia began its next possession at its own 20 yard line. It took the Rebels just eight plays and in a span of two minutes and 34 seconds to put another touchdown on the board. After a 37 yard pass from Haner to Levi Ellis and a 10 yard run by Jacob White moved the ball to the two yard line, Haner ran in for the score. The two point conversion attempt failed, giving South Gallia the 12-0 lead at the 11:49 mark of the second quarter. After a Southern punt, the South Gallia Rebels took possession at their own 37 yard line. Nine plays later Ethan Spurlock found the end zone from 10 yards out for South Gallia’s third touchdown of the game. Haner ran in the two point conversion to make the score 20-0 at the 5:04 mark of the second quarter. South Gallia began its Meigs from Page B1 line by a Marauder defender and was picked out of the air by Nathan Campbell who raced 88 yards for an apparent score, but once again their was a flag on the play and the touchdown was called back for holding. Two more plays and a penalty on fourth down gave Meigs the ball on the Dragon25. Boyer took a knee and ran out the clock for the Marauders first win of Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis final drive of the first half with 2:19 remaining and 80 yards to go. The Rebels managed the clock perfectly, setting up a first and goal play with just 15 seconds remaining in the first half. An incomplete pas gave the Rebels another attempt at the end zone with 10 seconds remaining, but the ball was intercepted by Southern’s Tristen Wolfe to keep the Rebels from a fourth touchdown in the first half. South Gallia led 20-0 at the half. A 14 play and nearly seven minute drive to open the second half gave South Gallia its fourth touchdown of the game. A three yard touchdown run by Josh Cooper and the two point conversion run by White put the Rebels up 28-0 at the 5:10 mark of the third quarter. South Gallia was driving again as the third quarter came to a close. With fourth and goal at the one yard line to open the fourth quarter, Austin Phillips ran the ball in for the score. Southern made the next drive go deep into Rebel territory, moving the ball to the South Gallia 12 yard line. A fumble on the handoff was recovered by South Gallia’s Dalton Matney, ending Southern’s scoring chance. With 2:34 remaining in the game, South Gallia attempted its first punt of the game. The fielding attempt by Southern was fumbled, with South Gallia’s Haner recovering the ball at the Southern 36 yard line. The Rebels ran out the clock to earn the 34-0 victory over Southern. South Gallia now holds and 8-7 advantage alltime in the series, including wins in both TVC Hocking matchups. The Rebels put together 403 yards of offense in the game — 233 on the ground and 170 in the air — while Southern managed just 65 yards offensively. Haner led the Rebels with 170 passing yards and 69 rushing yards in the win. South Gallia was penalized 10 times for 95 yards and Southern had four penalties for 50 yards. Southern and South Gallia each turned the ball over twice in the game. South Gallia will travel to Trimble next Friday, while Southern will host Belpre. the season. “The bottom line is we got the win,” Marauder coach Mike Chancey said after the contest. “I thought our effort was good, but Fairland did a good job coming out in the second half and capitalizing on our mistakes. We will work and correct these mistakes, and we will work hard to get better.” Roush led the Marauders on the ground with 60 yards in 15 tries; Charlie Barrett added 16 in four tries. Boyer was 2 of 3 in the air for 62 yards, both to Sayre. Roush and Cole Turner had interceptions for Meigs. Evan Maddox led Fairland with 76 yards in 14 carries; Cesar added 74 in 12 and Eric Riley in 11 tries had 30. Sowards was two of four in the air for 24 yards; Maddox caught one for 14 and Cesar one for 10. Meigs will play their home opener next Friday evening when they host River Valley.

Falcons from Page B1 three following an 11 yard scoring toss from Jewell to Wyatt Deak. Stevens extra point kick closed the gap to 25-22 with 2:29 to play in the third quarter. From then on it was all Wahama as the Bend Area team scored 22 points in the final period to seal the victory. Gibbs ran one in from 14 yards away at the 9:20 mark of the final quarter with Wamsley adding the point after kick. Lee then raced 44 yards for his third touchdown of the night with Tyler Roush going in for the two-point conversion to make it a 40-22 contest with 6:58 left. Crandal Neal then concluded the nights scoring with 1:35 remaining on a one yard burst with Terry Jewell adding the point after kick to give Wahama the surprising 47-22 season opening win. “We were in a war tonight,” Wahama coach Ed Cromley said following the win. “Our kids really wanted this one badly and they came through. Because of the size up front by Trimble we were forced to abandon what we had practiced on during the preseason and go to an offensive set that we used last year and for the most part our players adapted very well. We also received some quality play from several young players tonight the veteran grid coach added”. Neal paced Wahama on the ground with 92 yards in nine carries while Lee added 67 yards in eight tries, Wamsley 51 yards in seven attempts and Grimm 45 yards in only two carries. Kane Roush and Gibbs picked up 30 yards each in six and 18 tries respectively.

This year the small festival with the big following has booked one of country music’s most popular, rising stars — Jake Owen. Last week Owen was on top of the iTunes country music charts and has a hit with the song “Barefoot Blue Jean Night.” One of the best things about Owen headlining Racine’s Third Annual Party in the Park is the performance is free to concert goers. In fact, admission, parking and entertainment are all free at Party in the Park which sets up shop Sept. 8-10 at Star Mill Park along the Ohio River. Owen closes the festival with that free performance at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. So how can a community as small as Racine bring the biggest little festival in Ohio to life? A lot of volunteers and a lot of donations from local businesses, according to Mayor J. Scott Hill, who is also on the Party in the Park Committee. Hill said there’s no way the festival could happen without those volunteers and financial sponsorships. Though Party in the Park began in 2009, Hill and others had been attempting to organize one, large festival unique to Racine for several years. Prior to Party in the Park, there were several smaller festivals in the community throughout the year but by consolidating community resources into one festival, it didn’t put as much of a burden on volunteers or financial sponsors. Then, when Gatling, Ohio LLC opened its Yellowbush Mine outside of Racine, the village and company began talking about corporate sponsorship of an event, similar to other mining operations in other communities. Once Gatling was on board the festival began to take shape and the $40 – 50,000 a year it takes to stage it didn’t seem as farfetched. The other component which makes the festival a success is the money stays in the community. As Hill put it, there are several civic, school and church organizations which volunteer at the event or offer services and/or concessions to make money as a fundraiser. For example, also taking place at the event is the Seventh Annual Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show which raises money for scholarships given to graduating seniors of Southern High School. In short, the benefits are many for Racine without the expenditures to the village without doesn’t have a dime of taxpayer money invested in the festival. Money, as many know, is in short supply these days for municipalities and families which can enjoy free entertainment at the festival. As the festival grows in size, days and reputation, so do the events with larger amusement rides being offered this year than last, a video arcade, carnival games and a petting zoo, to name a few. Favorites like the 5K race and antique tractor show and tractor games along with the kiddie tractor pull competition also return. There is, of course, a charge for those who wish to ride the carnival rides, play games or buy concessions. The complete Party in the Park schedule is as follows: Thursday, Sept. 8 — 5 p.m. - 10 p.m., amusement rides, games, crafts, vendors, petting zoo and video arcade are open.

Kelley Williams-Bolar, of Akron, served nine days in jail earlier this year for falsifying information on records that she used to send her daughters to a school outside the city. She said her conviction for felony records tampering threatens her efforts to earn her teacher's license. The board said Williams-Bolar could have solved her schooling situation legitimately and was dishonest before and after her conviction. "Ms. Williams-Bolar was faced with a no more difficult situation than any other working parent who must ensure that their children are safe during, before and after school hours in their absence," it said in its unanimous ruling. "Most parents find legitimate and legal options to address this issue. Ms. Williams-Bolar's only response was to be deceitful." The board also rejected Williams-Bolar's arguments that her conviction harmed her future plans, noting that she has hardly made the efforts necessary to obtain a degree to teach. Williams-Bolar had told the parole board in July that she was remorseful for lying and would do things differently if given the chance. "I love my kids and I would have done anything for my children," an emotional WilliamsBolar told the board. An attorney for Williams-Bolar said Friday he was disappointed but confident that Gov. John Kasich, who has the final say, will see things differently. "Justice will ultimately prevail," David Singleton, executive director of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center, said in an email. The executive director of the citizen coalition C o l o r O f C h a n g e . o rg , which petitioned for Williams-Bolar's pardon, said the group will lobby Kasich as he makes his decision. "The ColorOfChange. org community was deeply moved by the story of Kelley WilliamsBolar. Many parents all around the country would act just as she did if it meant a safe, secure experience for their children and peace of mind with regard to their e d u cation," Executive Director Rashad Robinson said. "The parole board's lack of empathy is astounding, and now the decision rests fully with Gov. Kasich." Prosecutors defended the felony charges, saying Williams-Bolar willingly broke the law by using her father's address and misrepresenting other information on school documents for the nearby Copley-Fairlawn district. Officials there challenged her girls' residency in 2007, when they were 9 and 13 years old. Summit County chief assistant prosecutor Brad Gessner told the parole board that WilliamsBolar engaged in a pattern of deception when it came to falsifying documents. Gessner said she had options when school officials questioned her about her residency but instead changed her address on her driver's license and bank and employment documents. Williams-Bolar's older daughter now attends an Akron public high school, while her younger daughter got a voucher to go to a private middle school. WilliamsBolar continues to work as a teacher's assistant at Akron public schools. Kasich asked the parole board to hold the clemency hearing, but he has the last word. The case drew national attention as a high-profile example of schools getting tougher on parents who improperly send their children to other districts, usually with better-funded and higherperforming schools. Some people were outraged by WilliamsBolar's dishonesty. Others believed her prosecution and punishment were too severe. Kasich has used the case to highlight expanded access to educational alternatives, including vouchers, and it became a rallying point for advocates of school choice. Williams-Bolar, a single mother, said safety was her main concern when she enrolled her daughters in the CopleyFairlawn district. She said she was worried about leaving her daughters alone because someone had broken into her home. Parole board members asked her whether she had considered moving in with her father or having a neighbor watch her children on the days she attended night classes. They also raised questions about whether she had looked into voucher programs. Singleton has acknowledged that his client had made mistakes, including writing on a bill from the school that she was deployed overseas even though she is not in the military. The district's superintendent has said it was enforcing its enrollment policy. Since 2005, Copley-Fairlawn resolved conflicts with at least 47 other families over illegal student attendance but was unable to reach a resolution with Williams-Bolar and was forced to turn the case over to prosecutors, district officials said. US House Speaker in Ohio, economy 'stagnant' WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) — U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Friday's jobs report shows the nation's economy is "stagnant," and he hopes President Barack Obama and other Democrats will listen to Republican ideas to address the problem. The Labor Department report showed the U.S. unemployment rate remained at 9.1 percent as employers added no net workers in August. "... the American people are still rightfully asking the question: 'Where are the jobs?'" Boehner said as he spoke at a ribbon cutting Friday in his home town of West Chester, a Cincinnati sub- urb. "Republicans are continuing to listen to the American people and are focusing our efforts on removing barriers to job growth." Boehner said he looks forward to hearing Obama's plan for job creation. "But I'm hopeful the White House and Senate Democrats will work with us on our ideas that will help end economic uncertainty," he said. Boehner supports a House Republican approach focused on reducing government spending and regulations and lowering tax rates. He left without taking any media questions.

Operation Christmas Child announces local collection locations OHIO VALLEY — While temperatures are still soaring into the 80s and 90s, Southeast Ohio Operation Christmas Child team members and volunteers are already planning ahead for Christmas. They are collecting gifts such as school supplies, hygiene items, small toys, hard candy and stuffed animals that will lovingly fit into the hands of needy and hurting children in lands ravaged by natural disasters, famine, war, disease and terrorism. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, is the world’s largest children’s Christmas project. In 2010, nearly 8.2 million children received a simple giftfilled shoebox with a message that they are loved and not forgotten. If these shoe boxes were stacked on top of each other, they would be 137 times taller than Mt. Everest. In 2010, donors in the ten-county southeast Ohio area — comprised of Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton Counties — contributed 23,618 of the 608,022 shoebox gifts that were filled in the Great Lakes Region, which includes Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and West Virginia. This year, generous children, families, businesses, churches, scout troops, schools, civic groups and others will fill their shoeboxes and deliver them to one of more than 2,900 dropoff sites in all 50 states and Puerto Rico during National Collection Week, slated for November 14-21, 2011. The sole drop-off site in Gallipolis will be at the French City Baptist Church, 3554 State Route 160. Pastor Mark Williams, the relay center contact for this site, may be reached at (740) 446-3331. Other drop-off sites in the Gallia County area include the Fellowship of Faith Church, 20344 State Route 554, Bidwell, with contact Nancy Blevins at (740) 2450900; and Hope Baptist Church, 570 Grant St., Middleport, with contact Bronwyn Williams at (740) 992-5334. In addition to the 140,000 volunteers in the United States, more than 360,000 volunteers in sister countries of Canada, Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom help prepare these lifechanging gift boxes. In 2011, Operation Christmas Child will reach more than 8.5 million children in more than 100 countries on six continents via train, plane, boat, mule, donkey, camel, elephant, dog sled and helicopter, just to mention a few conveyances. Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology that allows donors to “follow their box” to the destination country where their box is hand-delivered to a child who may never have received a gift before.

Ohio veteran yanks down restaurant's tattered flag SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — A Vietnam veteran in Ohio says the sight of a tattered American flag flying outside a fast food restaurant was enough to ruin his lunch. So he stopped eating his hamburger, took down the huge flag and hauled it over to the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall so that it could be disposed of properly. John Henderson of Marblehead tells the Sandusky Register the flag had rips that were a few feet long and looked like a rag. He says the flag is a living symbol of sacrifices soldiers have made and that he just couldn't let it go. Henderson says he won a Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam. A spokesman for the restaurant says they've gotten the flag back and it's being repaired.

There is very little you won’t try. Other times, words of caution stop you, but not as frequently as you would think. You are likely to network and expand your circle of friends and work colleagues. If you are single, you could meet someone quite significant to your life’s history. If you are attached, the two of you need to work on manifesting a key goal. No matter what your status is, greater contentment lies within a relationship. CAPRICORN reads you cold. 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) ++++ Your mind takes a vacation — it makes no difference where you are or with whom! Others find that you drop the ball in the middle of a conversation. Even though it is a holiday, make an attempt to rein yourself in. Perhaps these flights of fancy help you relax. Tonight: Finally present. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++++ A partner or potential loved one wants to “make nice.” Relax with the moment. Have more faith in your ability to move through issues. Your efforts make a substantial difference, especially if you listen. Tonight: Sign up for a one-day workshop. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ++++ Remain sensitive to others. Slow down. Have a long talk. You aren’t socializing as much as anchoring and understanding someone’s needs. Never underestimate the role of sensitivity and interest. Tonight: Have another discussion with a key friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) +++ Your focus on accomplishing and eliminating a frivolous project will help you complete some overdue tasks. Demonstrate your caring through action. It can be as simple as picking up the phone. Positive actions and thoughts open up a stale situation. Tonight: Time to exercise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Refuse to get stumped by a situation. You have the answers. Make plenty of time for a gathering of family and friends. Celebrate this special, lazy Monday. Someone you might not have seen in a while could trigger a strong reaction. Detach. HOROSCOPE Tonight: Slow your pace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You might decide the best place to enjoy yourself is at home. Throw a Labor Day barbecue. It can be spontaneous. Understanding evolves when dealing with a sometimes-caustic friend. Understand how different this person is from you. Tonight: You enjoy yourself more and more. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ Keep conversations moving and add a new dimension to a situation. An older friend or loved one could be irritating because of his or her demanding way. Another loved one or friend helps you get past this obstacle. Talk it through. Tonight: Head home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Whether entertaining at home or going elsewhere, make the most of the moment. Let someone know how you feel by indulging him or her. Choose a gesture that you know will have meaning. Conversations open up, possibly revealing a secret. Oops! Tonight: Return calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You seem to be the person who plans are centered around. You could take a different slant on a situation once you are around people. Once you indulge a little, you’ll feel much better. Tonight: Going overboard. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ You might be unusually quiet. Whether you need some time away or are mulling over a problem is irrelevant to others. They miss you. Take a nap if that helps you recycle. Make time for a late-afternoon gathering. Tonight: You enjoy every moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Use the daylight hours to the max. Find friends, and you’ll discover how very content you can be. You might pop from barbecue to barbecue, or if at home, you could be swamped by friends seeking you out. Tonight: Until the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Don’t rush if you are traveling. You will feel better and more relaxed. By the time you make it over to a friend’s, you will be a lot happier if you don’t cause yourself unnecessary stress. Listen to news with a grain of salt. Tonight: In the limelight.

Ohio amusement park to expand water park MASON, Ohio (AP) — A $10 million water park expansion opening next year at a southwest Ohio amusement park will more than double the size of the current water park to 33 acres. Kings Island officials announced the expansion of its water park on Friday. They say the expanded park will feature a 39,000-square-foot wave pool with a water depth of up to six feet and wave heights of more than four feet. There also will be an action river with new waterfalls and jets to create turbulent water effects. The Soak City water park also will include a new sand volleyball court area, more than 30 water slides, tropical lagoons and family activity areas. Soak City is scheduled to open in the spring of 2012 and will be included in the park admission.
