TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Unclear whether Irene could affect Pomeroy funding BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – Since the Federal Emergency Management Agency has placed restrictions on projects from previous and current disasters to ensure funds are immediately available in the wake of Hurricane Irene, it remains unclear whether the funding for flooding projects in Pomeroy will be affected. For months now, Pomeroy has attempted to find funding to repair drainage, sewer and flooding issues in the village. Since President Obama declared 21 counties in Ohio a disaster area due to spring flooding, Pomeroy has been working with the officials at the state level to obtain Federal Emergency Management Agency funding to fix these problems. According to Pomeroy Village Administrator Paul Hellman, a representative from FEMA was in Pomeroy on Aug. 24 to assess the damage, inspecting areas like Monkey Run, State Street, Mulberry Ave. and Main Street, among others. All the projects that need funded total around $1.75 million, Hellman said. Of course, since then, Hurricane Irene has happened and FEMA has placed funding restrictions on longer-term repair, rebuilding and mitigation projects from previous and current disasters that are funded through its Disaster Relief Fund, in order to make sure the agencies have the resources to continue supporting the immediate needs of states affected by Hurricane Irene, as well as to continue providing aid for current and recent disaster survivors. According to a spokesperson from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency which assists in processing and developing FEMA applications at the state level, representatives with Ohio EMA continue to work with Pomeroy to develop a “subgrant” which details the project; this grant will then go before a review at the state level and if approved goes on to the federal level with the state dispersing federal funds. When asked if Hurricane Irene will affect funding for Pomeroy’s project, the Ohio EMA spokesperson referred The Daily Sentinel to FEMA in Washington, DC. In a statement from FEMA released to The Daily Sentinel, the agency states under this strategy of restricting funds, the Disaster Relief Fund continues to fund individual assistance payments for disaster survivors and public assistance funds that help states and communities prepare for or respond to a disaster, such as payments for first responders, evacuations, police barricades, and other needs. The only funding that gets temporarily put on hold are resources for new longer-term recovery and rebuilding projects that were not already submitted by states to FEMA. In short, whether or not the funds for Pomeroy’s disaster areas will be delayed, at least tem- Lovin’ it Live First Annual Ohio River Live fills Court Street with music JobsOhio rollout CHILLICOTHE – The Appalachian Ohio rollout of JobsOhio which will introduce Oho’s new economic developent strategy to a 25-county region, will be held on Thursday, Sept. 8, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the PACCAR Medical Education Center Kenworth auditorium.

They take an immense amount of pride in this town, as do I.” Despite Saturday’s brutal temperatures, an enthusiastic group of music lovers gathered on Court Street in Gallipolis to participate in the all-day music festival. The musical line up featured performances by local musicians Paul Doeffinger, Neon Nickel, Soul of the Machine, Blue Sky Falling, Valley Road, Blitzkrieg and the Magic Mama Band — all leading up to a performance by singer/songwriter Matt King. King brought along a band of world class musicians to perform on the Ohio River Live stage — accomplished guitarist and session musician Dan Cohen, bassist and Grammy Award-winning engineer Adam Odor, vocalist and singer/songwriter Meagan Jones and on-demand drummer/percussionist Josh Center. “Thank you Ohio River Live for letting us be here,” King said. “I wish you many, many more successful nights and years to come.” Friends remember fallen teen with fundraiser BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM WEATHER porarily, remains uncertain but at least in process at the state level. Several other entities in Meigs and Gallia Counties also applied for this disaster relief aid after spring flooding events. FEMA’s funding strategy which incorporates these temporary restrictions is called Immediate Need Funding. Historically, when the balance in FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund has been under the range of $1 billion, the agency has employed this strategy, which, again, places restrictions on longerterm repair, rebuilding, and mitigation projects for previous and current disasters that have not already been submitted by states. The strategy is not new, having been used in 2003-06 and 2010, according to FEMA. RACINE – Friends of a Portland teen who died as a result of injuries he sustained in a car crash last month are gathering to support that teen’s family through a fundraiser. A car show and motorcycle/car run has been organized to honor the memory of John Jacob “JJ” Gray, who was 17 years old when he passed away, leaving behind many grieving friends and family. The car show and motorcycle/car run is set for Saturday Sept. 24 at Southern High School. Registration for the car show begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m., costing $10 per entry. Judging is from 1-2 p.m. and trophies will be handed out by 3 p.m. At the conclusion of the show will be a motorcycle/car run which is $10 per entry though cars which paid to be in the car show do not have to pay to participate in the run. The run will travel to Athens and then head south through Tuppers Plains where it will disperse, according to Scottie Trussell, a friend of Gray who is organizing the event. Trussell said all proceeds from the event will go to Gray’s family to assist in covering medial and funeral expenses. Trussell hopes to raise at least $1,000 for the family. Gray was the son of Vince and Brenda Gray and he played several sports for Southern High School, including football and track. Gray would’ve been a junior this year at SHS. Trussell, who is a graduate of Eastern High School, said what he hopes people know most about his late friend is, “he was an all-around good kid…he put everyone else first and he was the last person he thought about.” For information on the car show or bike/car run, call Trussell at 416-0288 or Angie Guinther at 4163078.

MIDDLEPORT — A South Point firm is the apparent low bidder to complete Middleport’s expansive new sewer improvement project. Village Council is expected to take action on the bid next week. Bids were opened on the project Friday, and have been referred for action to village council. Its next meeting is Sept. 12. “The project will be a great improvement at no cost to the village,” Gerlach said. “We are already planning a groundbreaking ceremony.” Mike Enyart & Sons submitted the low bid of $6,33,138.60. “The project will be a great improvement at no cost to the village,” Gerlach said. “We are already planning a groundbreaking ceremony.” The project will not cost residents anything, since the state funding agency associated with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has granted total loan forgiveness. The project will reduce the number of “outflows” into the Ohio River in keeping with current EPA standards, and finance a new vaccuum truck and storage building. The truck will allow the village to adequately clean the system to eliminate maintenance issues, according to Gerlach. The project has been in the planning and engineering phase for several years, since the EPA mandated the separation of storm and sanitary sewers and a reduction in Ohio River outflows. The village mapped and filmed the entire sewer system as part of the project. �Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Obituaries Rhea Norris Rhea Jean Norris, 81, Albany, passed away Monday Sept. 5, 2011, at Brookside Rehabilitation section of Hickory Creek, The Plains.

Boy stuck with needle in movie theater COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police are trying to figure out who purposefully wedged a needle into the back of an Ohio movie theater seat, sending an 8-year-old boy to a hospital. WBNS-TV reports that the child was stuck by the needle Sunday and was taken to a Columbus hospital, where his condition was not available. Put police say he is expected to be fine. His name hasn’t been released. Police say the device turned out to be a pen in which the ink cartridge had been replaced with a sewing needle. The needle and pen have been taken to a crime lab. Police went seat-to-seat inside the theater to look for any other needles. The Columbus theater’s management has not returned calls for comment as of Monday afternoon Ohio man on a mission to buy American PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has made it his mission to buy only goods made in America. Retired teacher Dave Pitts spends hours in local Port Clinton shopping malls looking for items made in the USA. So far he has amassed American-made lawn chairs, salad bowls, bath mats, T-shirts, rawhide chews for his dog and other goods. The 56-year-old Pitts tells the Sandusky Register that his mission started in August 2010 when he was shopping in a store “whose name rhymes with mall cart.” Pitts says he started looking to see where goods were made and the store “was like a Chinese trade fair.” That’s when he launched his campaign to rebuild America’s manufacturing base. He says he worries about how the decline in American manufacturing has hit the middle class. www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Schools in Ohio try to fill Meigs County Forecast need for truck drivers 76. Chance of precipitaTuesday: Rain likely. AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A nationwide shortage of truck drivers has truck-driver schools in Ohio working to help trucking companies fill that need with newlytrained drivers. Trucking organizations’ estimates on the need for drivers over the next couple of years range from 100,000 to 500,000, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. Industry officials say the aging of the current driver population and increased trucking regulations are some of the reasons contributing to the tight market. The shortage is forcing companies to look more at hiring students from schools, even though carriers typically prefer drivers with one or more years of experience, said Kreigh Spahr, program manager at the Euclid-based truck-driver school at Cuyahoga Community college in northeast Ohio. “Every major carrier is hiring,” Spahr told the newspaper The founder of the Hamrick Truck Driving School in Medina County says most trucking companies he deals with come to the school to recruit. First-year pay typically is in the low $30,000 range, Denver Hamrick said. Many trucking companies also will reimburse new drivers for tuition, starting at about $100 to $140 a month, if they stay with the company for a set time, Hamrick said. Schools say many students are turning to trucking as a second career. Gladys Tejada, 37, of Cuyahoga Falls, previously worked in quality control at a Summit County business, but expects to graduate from Hamrick’s school in September and start driving a truck for a living. While it’s been more difficult than she expected, Tejada said it’s what she has always wanted to do. “Every time I drive, I like it more,” she said. Scott Shy, driver recruiter for Maverick Transportation LLC in Little Rock, Ark., recently attended an open house at the Hamrick school aimed at matching students and drivers with employers. “There’s just not enough drivers to fill the needs of the public,” said Shy. Maverick provides extensive training for new drivers, but turnover among its drivers is 73 percent every three months, Shy said. Rusty Napier, of Napier Truck Driver Training Inc. in Hamilton, told The Associated Press that the school in southwest Ohio gets calls from companies around the country, but doesn’t always have students available. “Most students — once they have their license — have companies waiting for them,” he said The school’s five-week classes cost $4,195 and only have about 10 or 12 students, “but these companies pay people to come talk to them,” Napier said. The shortage is not expected to ease soon. Many current drivers will be retiring over the next several years, and industry officials say not many young people want to enter the industry. Those with young families don’t want to be away from home for weeks at a time, said Chris Kemmer, founder and president of CK Commercial Vehicle Research in Columbus. “Truck driving’s hard. It’s tough,” Kemmer said. New trucking regulations with stricter rules on hours and quality have also contributed to the shortage by limiting the number of available drivers, and a lot of trucking companies won’t hire drivers with bad driving records or questionable backgrounds. Some of the new federal rules could eliminate as many as 250,000 drivers who habitually violate regulations, making them uninsurable and ineligible to renew their commercial driver licenses, Spahr said. Companies are trying to find ways of attracting more drivers. Some are upgrading their rigs to include microwave ovens, refrigerators, televisions and showers, said recruiter Dave Mayfield of Panther Expedited Services Inc. in northeast Ohio’s Seville. “We never have enough drivers,” Mayfield said. New Ohio livestock rules widely praised COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — New rules on the handling of Ohio farm animals that take effect later this month will make the state a leader in setting standards for livestock care, according to state officials, industry representatives and animal welfare advocates. The Ohio Department of Agriculture is midway through holding meetings around the state to introduce the new requirements for feeding, restraining, housing and maintaining the health of a full range of animals including poultry, cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats and alpacas. Ohio becomes the first state to adopt sweeping standards for livestock management, transportation and slaughter, state Agriculture Director Jim Zehringer told The Columbus Dispatch. With Zehringer’s signature, the rules will officially go on the books on Sept. 29, more than two years after the Humane Society of the United States proposed asking Ohio voters to set detailed restrictions on the treatment of animals. The standards are the product of a 2010 deal brokered by then-Gov. Ted Strickland that saw the Humane Society and other welfare groups drop their bid for a ballot issue in exchange for farming interests agreeing to support tougher livestock laws. The head of the Humane Society said Ohio handled drafting the rules more comprehensively than the agreement called for. “In general, we’re very pleased how the farm-animal (rules) turned out,” said Humane Society president Wayne Pacelle. “We’re hoping this sets a model for the nation in negotiating instead of a bitter political battle.” The standards, to give a few examples, state that: electric prods may not be used on poultry; horses must be transported in vehicles large enough for them to stand in a natural position without hitting their heads; and that, beginning in 2018, veal calves must be housed in enclosures with enough room for the animals to turn around. Minor violations can bring fines of up to $1,000, while major, Anderson McDaniel repeat violators can be fined up to $10,000.

State Briefs As human swimmers leave, Ohio pools open for dogs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — With most people abandoning public swimming pools as the weather cools down, those pools are opening themselves up for canine customers. The Columbus Dispatch reports that more and more central Ohio public pools are hosting open swims for dogs. The chlorine content is reduced for the canines, and pool staff thoroughly cleans the filters before opening for humans the next summer. Nobody seems to know where the practice started, but in recent years it has become widespread, the newspaper reports. Becky Berger, who recently went with her two golden retrievers, says the event is like “Christmas — or Disneyland” for her pups.

Fuel prices rose as recent storms impacted refineries on the East Coast, and now-tropical storm Lee has caused oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico to halt production. “A Place to Call Home” Foster Parents Needed In Your County!!! $25 - $45 a day for the care of a child in your home.

JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: I have a great dad who raised me by himself, but now that I have finished college, I was hoping to be out of the house. I can’t find a job, so I’m still at home, and the problem is that my dad has gotten very strict about my dating. I am used to living in the dorm and doing what I want, and he won’t let me have any privacy with guys. His policy is “doors open” if anyone visits, and it’s just embarrassing. I don’t want to fight with him. He seems mad all the time. I’m miserable. — L.S. Dear L.S.: There are a couple of quick fixes to this problem, but they involve things that are pretty much beyond your control right now. You can redouble your efforts to find a job, or take on a couple of part-timers until something you want opens up. But that could take a long time. The goal is to be able to live on your own. You can network with friends, and even if it’s a closet, team up and rent a place you all can afford. But until then, you have to live with your dad and get along with him and his “it’s my house, and you’ll follow my rules, young lady” mentality. In your case, being raised by a single dad and having a good relationship can make this situation even a little harder. You dad is feeling very protective of you — he’s probably worried about keeping you safe all your life. In addition, he’s feeling uncomfortable admitting that you are an adult and have a sex life. All this is sure to make him grumpy. If I were you, I would try to avoid conflict during this time. Hopefully your dates will have their own places, or as two adults you will need to figure out something else if you want some privacy. Don’t jeopardize your relationship with your dad because of a temporary glitch on the way to your own mature life. I know it is difficult, but the sooner you can get some income and get your own place the better, so focus on that instead of on how miserable you are. Give your dad a hug, and let him know you still love him. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My Dr. Joyce Brothers wife’s parents were pretty wealthy and have generously left a sizable amount of money to my 16-yearold son, their only grandchild, after their death. It is in a trust until he turns 18, but it seems he is counting the days until he becomes a fat cat sitting on his butt instead of working. We’ve tried to impress upon him that he needs to go to college and have a good work ethic, and we’ve pointed out that all his friends have part-time jobs. How do we unspoil him? — J.V. Dear J.V.: Unspoiling is difficult, especially if you haven’t spent the first 16 years instilling some kind of values in your son that include working for the things he wants. He sounds like he will be in a position similar to the lottery winners who become millionaires and blow through their fortunes in a couple of years and end up bankrupt. I am afraid you made a big mistake when you revealed to your son that he would be inheriting a great deal of money on his 18th birthday. It might have been better, under the circumstances, to keep that fact to yourselves and spend these next two years trying to increase his motivation and pride in working. But even though you let the cat out of the bag prematurely, you still have two years to work on him. I would begin by making sure you and your wife are good examples — handle your money properly, and let your son know that you value the effort it took to make it. Give him some solid basic education in financial planning — talk about credit cards, debt, saving and all the rest — so that he has at least a fighting chance to keep and grow that income and not waste it. Let him know that that is what his grandparents deserve, and that you expect him to respect their memory.

PETERSBURG, Fla. — Four years ago, St. Petersburg’s struggles with some of the most rampant homelessness in the country reached a crescendo when police officers with box cutters slashed up a makeshift tent city near downtown. The raid become a national public-relations disaster and didn’t make a dent in the growing crowd of people living on the city’s streets. Enter Robert Marbut, a former San Antonio councilman and White House staffer who came to town last fall wielding what he likes to call a “velvet hammer.” City leaders hired the $5,300a-month consultant after buying into his idea of forcing the homeless off the streets but taking them someplace better — a sprawling, one-stop complex where people could be housed, fed and start to get help with mental illness, addictions and the other problems that put them on the streets. More than a just big shelter, it would be a “transformational campus” like the one Marbut helped establish in San Antonio. St. Petersburg started getting tough last year with a panhandling ban and talk of limiting the frequent public feedings downtown thrown by churches and charities that had become a magnet for the homeless, a move that has drawn grumbling from those groups. Those who get caught sleeping on the sidewalk, having an open beer or relieving themselves in public have been getting a free ride to the new, 500-bed Pinellas Safe Harbor, instead of a trip to jail. This summer, the onceubiquitous crowd of homeless hanging out and sleeping all over downtown streets dwindled to just a handful. Marbut, who says he has studied approaches to homelessness in hundreds of U.S. cities over the last four years , said St. Petersburg had one of the worst and most visible problems he’d ever seen. That was thanks to the poor Florida economy, a wave of discharged military veterans with mental health issues, easy access to prescription painkillers through “pill mill” pain clinics and other factors. Plus, this city — like many in the South — had a reputation as an easy place to live on the streets, with gentle winters and an abundance of help agencies and public feeding programs. “What was incredible to me was how much money was being spent, how much energy was being spent and there was no success,” said Marbut, a one-time aide to President George H. W. Bush. The 2007 tent city raid — police said crime and open fires had made it unsafe — became a chamber of commerce nightmare after a cellphone video of officers slashing tents showed up on YouTube and TV. A faith-based shelter with a sanctioned tent city opened afterward and quickly filled to its 250bed capacity. Even as the city worked aggressively to build cosmopolitan credibility with new worldclass museums and trendy restaurants, homeless people were still everywhere on the streets of the low-rise, waterfront downtown. Visitors couldn’t walk around without dodging panhandlers and stepping over street people. Businesses complained. Politicians fretted. The city sanitation department had to spray sidewalks with disinfectant to cover the stench of urine. “We as a county were just dealing with it, we weren’t solving it,” said Bill Foster, the first-term The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Sleeping homeless people once lined the sidewalk every night in front of The Princess Martha, a grand 1920sera apartment building for seniors, leaving litter and human waste that had to be cleaned up by a staff member every morning. Residents avoided the park across the street. All that’s changed. “It’s night and day,” executive director David Nutt said by telephone one recent morning. “I’m sitting in my office right now looking across at the park, and it’s gone from hundreds lying around on the grass to a halfdozen.” Marbut was the architect and first CEO of a similar shelter compound in San Antonio called Haven for Hope. The 22acre, $100 million complex with room for about 1,000 was built with private and public money. It opened last year and is filled to capacity. Haven for Hope’s finances are an issue — some of the nonprofit charities involved are scrambling to raise money for operations now that state and federal funding is being reduced. Critics there and in St. Petersburg also question Marbut’s firm contention that the time-honored tradition of do-gooders bringing food, blankets and other handouts to people on the street is enabling and has to stop. Instead, he asks churches and other faith-based groups to get involved at the shelter. St. Petersburg officials who visited the San Antonio shelter last year were impressed and pushed hard to hire Marbut to shepherd the opening of Safe Harbor, a converted bus barn next to the county jail north of the city. It’s operated with grant money and contributions from a broad coalition of municipalities and state and local agencies. It’s run by the sheriff’s office, with the cooperation of the prosecutor’s and public defender’s offices. “If you give somebody an alternative and hook them up with services, maybe you get some folks who change their ways, get a job even,” said Bernie McCabe, the chief prosecutor for the region that includes St. Petersburg. “We weren’t accomplishing anything before except moving some nuisances around.” The idea is to get them in to clean up, sleep, get plugged into services and assigned to a master caseworker who monitors their progress. A rewards system allows them to improve their station within the shelter as they work toward permanent housing and, in many cases, employment. In the first six months of the year, Safe Harbor signed in 1,350 different people, according to Marbut’s report to the city council. More than 300 moved out to some sort of more permanent housing or to another facility for specialized services. Some stayed one night. Some have been there for months. But the focus is always on attacking the causes of homelessness and trying to move the residents forward. Violence is the only thing that can get them permanently kicked out. Those who break the rules are banished to mats in the outside courtyard with a chance to earn their way back inside to the air-conditioned living areas. Those who continue to behave properly can move up from mats on the floor to bunk beds and more privileges. There is a curfew, but residents can come and go as they please during the day. About a third Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution have jobs. “They put you on a schedule. I really, really needed that,” said 29year-old Nicole Gaskins, who was among the first residents of Safe Harbor. She stayed for about five months and credits the place with getting her into treatment for an addiction to prescription painkillers. She’s since managed to get a telemarketing job and move into an apartment. “There is no sleeping all day long,” she said. “They make you get up first thing in the morning. If you want to eat, you better get out of bed. You got to ‘do’ to survive. A lot of us who have been living out here (on the streets) for a while, we don’t have that. We don’t have guidelines or boundaries.” Critics of Safe Harbor say that forcing people to go to one location for services amounts to treating them like animals and accomplishes little more than getting them off the streets so the public can’t see them. And Marbut has gotten some push-back from local nonprofits who feel like they are being elbowed out after all these years. Homeless advocates say there is still a lack of transitional and affordable housing for people who manage to get out of the shelters. And there needs to be more services to help the increasing number of families with children who are victims of Florida’s depressed economy. “I think (Safe Harbor) is part of the answer, I don’t think it’s the whole answer,” said Sarah Snyder, executive director of the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless, a group that develops policy and determines how federal grant money is distributed countywide. “We can’t force people to become better. We can only show them how much better their lives could be if they made some changes.” Analysis: Cheney vigorously defends war in Iraq BY STEVEN R. HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — Dick Cheney’s autobiography presents a robust defense of his push for the U.S. invasion of Iraq without critically examining two issues central to America’s nearfailure in the war: the Bush administration’s decision to disband the country’s army and banish all members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party. Cheney has said that “In My Time” would cause “heads to explode” in Washington, and it is juicy reading for its harsh criticism of two secretaries of state, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, and one defense secretary, Robert Gates. Not surprising was Cheney’s adulation of Gates’ Pentagon predecessor, Donald H. Rumsfeld, the vice president’s political mentor. Cheney’s parting shot after decades of public service comes in the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The book has rekindled debate over the rationale to attack Iraq in 2003 and the cost in American lives and dollars. It also has focused attention on whether the war diverted U.S. attention from catching al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and eradicating the group’s hide-outs in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Cheney and former President George W. Bush had said invading Iraq and removing Saddam was imperative after Sept. 11. They insisted Saddam was working with bin Laden and that Iraq had amassed weapons of mass destruction to use against its neighbors or to give to al-Qaida for use against America. But the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission, which Congress created, found “no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaida cooperated on attacks against the United States.” Despite that and other solid evidence to the contrary, Cheney insists that Iraq was a nexus of terrorism and Saddam was working hand-in-glove with bin Laden. Confronted by the failure to find weapons of mass destruction, Cheney does accept that Saddam did not have such armaments, an error that Cheney blames on faulty U.S. intelligence. Some critics say he carefully selected intelligence material that made the case for Saddam having those weapons while ignoring evidence on the other side. Cheney virtually ignores the conduct of the war effort to the point where the Bush administration began to realize that the U.S. was on the verge of failure in 2006, three years after the invasion.

(AP) — Marshall freshman quarterback Rakeem Cato was efficient and appeared poised beyond his years, making coach Doc Holliday’s decision to start him in the season opener a solid one. Cato was one of the few bright spots for Marshall in a 34-13 loss at No. 24 West Virginia on Sunday in a game that was stopped for good with 14:36 left in the fourth quarter due to lightning. Cato, selected the starter over sophomore A.J. Graham five days before the game, completed 15 of 21 passes for 115 yards without an interception in his college debut. “I thought I did a good job coming into the game,” Cato said. “I still have things to work on. I thought for a freshman I played well. I wanted to come into the season mistake free. I want to continue doing that throughout the season.” Also standing out for Marshall was the play of sophomore Tron Martinez, who was a game-time decision by Holliday to start at running back over freshman Travon Van. Martinez led all rushers with 76 yards on 10 carries, including three carries of at least 14 yards. But Marshall couldn’t muster any offensive touchdowns, the Thundering Herd’s secondary got picked apart, and the storm-related delays meant an even longer ride back to Huntington with a short week ahead before Saturday’s home game with Southern Mississippi. “We left a lot on the field,” Martinez said. “It was a little disappointing.” Holliday was a longtime assistant coach at West Virginia before leaving two years ago for the Thundering Herd. It was his first trip back to his alma mater and his first time in the visitor’s locker room. He said Cato didn’t let him down. “I thought he did some really good things,” Holliday said. “Number one, he didn’t turn the ball over. I thought he handled the atmosphere well. There were some things, but he didn’t do anything today to tell me he isn’t going to be a really good player.” The Thundering Herd’s lone touchdown came on an 87-yard punt return by Andre Booker to open the scoring. Booker was called to duty after Troy Evans, last year’s regular punt and kickoff returner, was arrested earlier in the week on armed robbery charges. The game was stopped after two lightning delays totaling of 4 hours, 22 minutes. A joint statement issued by the schools’ athletic directors said the decision was made to stop the game following consultations with the Big East and Conference USA commissioners’ offices and the teams’ medical staffs. Player fatigue and the forecast for more storms also was a factor. “It went exactly like we thought it would go tonight,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said, laughing. “I’m proud of the kids (for) the way they handled this situation.” Despite difficulty running the ball, West Virginia improved to 110 against its cross-state foe, including six wins since the series resumed in 2006. West Virginia’s Geno Smith completed 26 of 35 passes for 249 yards, including first-half scoring tosses of 4 yards to Ivan McCartney and 15 yards to Stedman Bailey. “At times, I didn’t like our tempo and didn’t like our aggressiveness,” Smith said. “But I think the thing that I liked the most was they were all on the same page and knew what to do.” The offenses that Holgorsen built the past three years as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State and Houston produced average scores of 58-9 in season openers. On Sunday, the Mountaineers had plenty of offensive plays. It just didn’t equate into that many yards, especially on the ground. Now Holgorsen has a short week to figure out how what to tweak before Saturday’s home game against Norfolk State. “Marshall put a lot of pressure on us,” Holgorsen said. “There were times that we didn’t pick things up and there were some times where we didn’t run our routes fast enough for Geno to get the ball out.” West Virginia freshman Andrew Buie got the start over three other running backs but was limited to a team-high 30 yards on 15 carries. He left in the third quarter after taking a hard hit, his arm dangling at his side. On West Virginia’s next series, freshman Vernard Roberts was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 near midfield. Marshall took over and drove inside the West Virginia 10 but settled for Tyler Warner’s third field goal. Tavon Austin extended West Virginia’s lead on the ensuing kickoff, weaving 100 yards into the end zone to put the Mountaineers ahead 2713. After Tyler Bitancurt’s extra point kick, play was stopped the first time as heavy thunderstorms moved in. Some in the sellout crowd gathered in the concourse, others went to a nearby indoor practice facility — and a steady stream of fans got in their cars and left. Roberts capped West Virginia’s only possession after the first delay with a 1-yard score. So far, so good for Ohio Stateʼs two quarterbacks COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Doubters said Ohio State’s two quarterbacks didn’t add up to one really good one. Based on Saturday’s 42-0 victory over Akron in the 18th-ranked Buckeyes’ season opener, maybe Ohio State isn’t so bad at the position after all. Fifth-year senior Joe Bauserman passed for three touchdowns and ran for another and true freshman Braxton Miller survived a rocky start to have a solid first outing with a TD pass of his own. “Those guys work great together,” said Luke Fickell, who won his debut as head coach after taking over when Jim Tressel was pushed out for violating NCAA rules. “They’re not going to be distracted by the things that are outside and all the outside influences. We know we’re going to need them both. We’re just going to put them in situations and see how they handle it, and let them compete.” Bauserman was 12 of 16 for 163 yards passing, with all three scores going to Jake Stoneburner, who became the first Ohio State tight end with that many touchdown receptions in a game. Bauserman also ran six times for 32 yards. “I felt like I went out there and tried to lead the guys best I could,” the 25-year-old said. “Jake happened to be running the routes so I threw it to him.” Miller, who graduated from high school early so he could enroll at Ohio State last January, didn’t get much help on his only series of the first half. He kept for 2 yards, had a pass dropped that would have gone for a first down, and then All-American center Mike Brewster made a bad snap that Miller fell on. Things got better in the second half. Miller showed a steady hand and completed 8 of 11 passes for 130 yards including a 14-yard scoring strike to fellow freshman Devin Smith. He also carried six times, gaining 30 yards. “When I was in high school I did the same thing, then I went out in the second half and I was more comfortable,” Miller said. The vacancy arose at quarterback when Terrelle Pryor gave up his final year of eligibility to jump to the NFL. Suddenly, Ohio State was left with triggermen who had never really run a collegiate offense with a game on the line. Four candidates — Bauserman, Miller, Kenny Guiton and Taylor Graham — battled it out in the fourman competition through spring ball, summer workouts and August practices. The field narrowed to Bauserman and Miller two weeks ago, and Bauserman gained the edge enough to take the first snap. Against Akron, both Bauserman and Miller made good decisions on when to run and when to pass. Both had a good touch on short to medium-length passes. (The Buckeyes had no need to throw deep). The Zips, coming off a 1-11 season, were overmatched in personnel no matter who was under center. Next up for the Buckeyes is another in-state MidAmerican Conference foe in Toledo, picked to be the top team in its league. Fickell and his staff will be keeping a close eye on the top two quarterbacks in the days ahead. They’ll be monitoring how they handle hardships, how they can make decisions on the fly and how they perform as the pressure of the season mounts. “We’ve told them nothing goes unnoticed,” Fickell said. “Those are the things we’re watching. We want to see how guys handle it, their body language, how they come to the sideline and work together.” It could take a while to decide which is the clear starter. “They know we have confidence in them, but they’re willing to work together,” Fickell said. “We’ll see how it grows.” ASHTON, W.Va. — The Hannan Lady Cats volleyball team fell to Sherman and Grace Christian in a tri-match held at Hannan High School. Sherman defeated the Lady Cats by scores of 2516 and 25-21, while Grace Christian won by scores of 25-16 and 25-19. Samantha Blain led Hannan with 15 points and three aces in the two matches, while Katie Ellis had 13 points and one ace, Tiffany Adkins and Megan Hocker each added 11 points, Jasmine Wiese had nine points, Jazzi Casto had eight points and Heather Ellis had four points. Casto led the team in digs with 19, followed by Katie Ellis with 18, Blain with 12, Wiese with 10, Heather Ellis with five, Hocker with four and Tosha Stover with three. Blain led the team in spikes with 19 and Katie Ellis added 10. Hocker was the leading setter with 29. The Lady Cats travel to Teays Valley Christian on Tuesday. Rio Grande Fall Basketball Academy opens Sept. 11 BY RANDY PAYTON SPECIAL TO OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING RIO GRANDE, Ohio — While the 2011 football season is just getting underway, the sounds of basketball will soon be heard on the campus of the University of Rio Grande. Registration is currently underway for the Rio Fall Basketball Academy, which will run for four consecutive Sundays beginning September 11 and concluding on October 2 at the Newt Oliver Arena. The league features two divisions - a senior division (10-foot goals) for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students and a junior division (9-foot goals) for third, fourth and fifth grade students for both boys and girls. The league will also offer instruction in team concepts and fundamentals in a controlled game atmosphere. Each team will receive coaching instruction from the University of Rio Grande men’s and women’s basketball players. “We’ve developed the academy over the past few years as a way to promote the game of basketball,” said URG men’s basketball head coach Ken French. “It’s an hour of instruction and an hour of 5-on-5 game play. Our staff sets up the day, almost like a regular practice day or a camp day, and we try to teach them some things. The object is to not only improve, but for the kids to work on fine-tuning their fundamentals in the fall before the new season rolls around.” The session for boys will run from 2-4 p.m., while the girls session is set for 4-6 p.m. In addition to the instruction and game play, participants will receive a reversible jersey and a complimentary pass to regular season home games. Space is limited and participants are encouraged to register in advance. “This is a great way for us to showcase our players and our program,” French said. “We have some great young men in our program and we’ve had players develop some friendships with kids that they’ve coached, not only in our camp, but through the academy. This allows them to become close to some of the families in our community. It’s a win-win situation for us.” Women’s basketball head coach David Smalley agreed. “The academy has been a great success for us in a ton of ways,” he said. “Number one, we create such a great relationship with the young girls who attend. We’ll have a handful of them come to our games and sit on the bench with us as an honorary coach, which is a great way to have fellowship and develop friendships. Plus, I think it’s great way for both the men’s and women’s programs to give back to the community. We saturate the area with our needs as far as fundraising goes and there are people who bend over backwards to help us out. While this is a fundraiser for us, we’re also giving back to the youth of the area and it’s a great skill development project for the kids. We try to teach them, but at the same time, they get to do what they really want and that’s play the game.” Those games do come with a twist, though. “We don’t keep score,” Smalley said. “But we might keep score if, in defensive transition, the defense gets back and gets set up before the ball crosses midcourt. When that happens, we give them a point. Or we may give them a point if they make more than three passes. We try not to let the scoreboard dictate whether or not a player has success.

A8 Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Lady Eagles win third straight Athens Invite BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM THE PLAINS, Ohio — For the third time in as many seasons the Eastern volleyball team won the Athens Invitational. The Lady Eagles (4-0) earned wins of Warren and Athens to reach the championship match against Marietta. Eastern defeated Warren by scores of 25-13 and 2521 in the opening match. The Lady Eagles took the early lead 6-1 after serves by Brenna Holter and Ally Hendrix, before Warren tied the first set at six. The Lady Eagles held an 18-13 lead before six straight points by Hendrix gave the Lady Eagles the 25-13 win in the first set. In the second set, Eastern held an 11-4 lead, with Warren pulling to within two points 19-17 late in the set. The Lady Eagles never trailed in the match, although there were multiple ties.

Hendrix had 15 points in the championship match, Local runners fare well at Warren Point, GA compete at Geico Blue Angelsʼ Adkins takes second in Class AAA race BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM BY KEVIN PIERSON SPECIAL TO OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING VINCENT, Ohio — September is usually the time that temperatures start dropping, and the sun begins to ease up in its steady beating on all those who venture out into it. Saturday was anything but a cool September day as more than 400 athletes hit the trails at Warren High School for the 25th annual Scenic Hills Lions Club Invitational. Temperatures had reached 95 degrees in Vincent before the middle school boys had even started their run, giving athletes a steady dose of summer one more time. Heat and high humidity caused considerable problems for athletes and organizers of the annual event, as several kids succumbed to the heat at the finish line. A few more needed treatment on the trails as athletes struggled to run the three or two miles necessary for high school or middle school cross country. With heat and humidity such an issue, organizers of the event had a large basin full of ice to dunk athletes in once they finished if they were over heated while EMTs from the Barlow Township Volunteer Fire Department were also on hand. But while some athletes were succumbing to the heat, those who have been around the trails a little while longer knew how to prepare and were still putting up strong times. The Marietta Tiger cross country team began its hydration process on Thursday, knowing full well it would be needed on Saturday. Fort Frye senior Sarah Biehl, who won the girls race, did the same and was dumping water on herself prior to the start of the race to keep her tempera- Johnson added five points, Hayman had four points, and Holter, Collins and Jamie Swatzel added three points each. Jamie Swatzel had 13 kills in the match, followed by Rigsby with seven Parker and Holter with four each, Erin Swatzel with three and Kelsey Myers with one. Eastern as a team was 101-126 passing (.802), 104-116 spiking (.897), and 99-107 setting (.925). The Lady Eagles return to the court on Tuesday as they host South Gallia at 6 p.m. in a TVC Hocking contest.

Invitational at Warren High School. ture in check. Keeping the heat in check, those athletes turned in outstanding performances as the Lady Tigers claimed the overall girls title while the Lancaster Golden Gales claimed the overall boys title over second place Marietta. The conservative strategy had the Lady Tigers place six girls in the top 20 and five in the top 15 to outdistance second place Athens by 27 points. Fort Frye’s Lady Cadets finished third. East Fairmont was fourth while Warren was fifth in its home meet. Trimble, Meadowbrook, Eastern, Alexander and Belpre completed the top 10 teams. Marietta had four girls finish from 10th to 15th as the Lady Tigers stuck together on the trails and after beginning conservatively to compensate for the heat, the Marietta girls began moving up as they rolled to the win. Biehl, who led for the duration of the race, claimed the title in the Scenic Hills Invitational for the third consecutive year. Her freshman year Biehl did not run cross country, so every appearance that she made at Scenic Hills ended in victory. The Fort Frye senior actually began the race at a slightly faster clip than she intended, but was still pleased with her overall run as she rolled to the win, finishing ahead of runnerup Katie Blodgett of River Valley by more than 30 seconds. Biehl needed to make good time on the course. After she was done running circuits around the cross country trails, she had to hustle to Marietta for the annual Washington County Fair where she had a cow to show by 3 p.m. Speed on the course wasn’t easy, however, as athletes had to compete on an already challenging course that includes several hills as well as two creek crossings. “I kind of forgot about all the hills,” Biehl laughed. “I got to the hills and was like, man, there’s a lot more hills than I thought.” Those hills weren’t fun for anyone, and certainly put a dent in times as runners got past the first mile. Not everybody minded the hills and the mud that goes with the creek crossings. The hills were actually a home course advantage for Wes Cochran and also helped runner-up Kody Wolfe, of Southern, over the dominant Golden Gales. With a trio of Lancaster runners in front of them, Cochran and Wolfe stayed patient over the first mile before making their move in the second mile to finish almost 30 seconds ahead of the Golden Gale runners, who began the race in front. “Let them do all the work that first mile, then use the hills to my advantage,” Cochran said of his strategy. That strategy certainly paid dividends, as Cochran finished with a time of 17:17.9, more than 18 seconds ahead of Wolfe and nearly 40 seconds ahead of third place Brannon Kidder, of Lancaster. “He (Wolfe) kept me going. He had me till about the second mile,” Cochran said. “I was happy with Kody being there. He kept me going.” Cochran’s run, his last on his home course, was pleased with his finish, but the time was a little below what he was looking for. Given the heat, that was somewhat to be expected, however. While Cochran claimed the individual title, the Golden Gales pulled away from Marietta to claim the overall team title as Lancaster claimed third, fourth, fifth before rounding out their five-man lineup with a 14th and 18th place finish. Marietta, which finished in sixth, ninth and 15th, ended up 14 points behind Lancaster in second. Warren finished in third while Magnolia was fourth and Fort Frye was fifth. Southern, Athens, Belpre, Meigs and Meadowbrook rounded out the top 10. The 25th annual Scenic Hills meet welcomed teams from 18 different schools and concluded with the middle school girls and boys races.
