Sunday, September 11, 2011 Pomeroy man accused of kidnapping pleads to lesser charge, released Witnesses recant stories BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM ATHENS — A Pomeroy man who was charged with allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend in May has agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of abduction after the ex and the man’s brother recanted their stories in the case. Joseph B. King, 25, Pomeroy, was released from the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail on Thursday on an own recognizance (OR) bond until his sentencing, which has been set for 2 p.m., Nov. 8. King will be sentenced on a lesser charge of abduction, a felony of the third degree. He was initially charged with kidnapping, a felony of the first degree, back in May. King’s OR bond, the sto- Page A5 • John E. Thomas • Roger Barron • Samuel Vinton Wamsley • Shirley E. Voiers WEATHER ries being recanted and the plea deal containing the abduction charge, were confirmed by a spokesperson with the Athens County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. As reported in May by The Daily Sentinel, King’s ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Rutter of Buchtel, reportedly told deputies with the Athens County Sheriff’s Office the incident began at a Marathon gas station parking lot in Chauncey. At that time, Detective Jack Taylor with the Athens County Sheriff’s Office told The Daily Sentinel that Rutter claimed she got into King’s car, but he then refused to let her out. King’s brother was also an occupant in the car at the time, according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. Rutter allegedly told authorities she was then dri- Oregon Elks member cycles across U.S. for veterans BY STEPHANIE FILSON SFILSON@HEARTLANDPUBLICATIONS.COM GALLIPOLIS — On Labor Day, with rains heavy enough to close outdoor events early and flood local roads, 47-year-old Oregon Elks Club member and veteran Marine Scot King rolled into the Gallipolis Elks Lodge with little more than his bicycle — one of many such stops across the country aimed at drawing attention to the needs of wounded veterans. King is the founder and president of Remember the Wounded Ride, Inc., a nonprofit organization with a vision to help educate the public about the lasting effects of war and a mission to improve the lives of combat wounded men and women and their families. “A lot of people don’t understand that when a person is wounded in combat, the entire family of that person suffers,” King said, adding that aside from physical pain, families must struggle with issues like income loss, relocation and intense stress. So, in an effort to help more people understand the plight of wounded veterans and their families, King set out on a personal quest to gather state flags from each of the lower 48 state capitals with a plan to present them to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon, during a special ceremony on Veterans Day 2013. Each flag will represent the combat wounded veterans of its respective state and will fly for an entire year. The first leg of his two-year cycling journey began in Salem, Oregon in May 2011 and will conclude in Washington, D.C. in October 2011 — a trek that will cover more than 30 states and 8,000 miles. King said that he recently hit the 5,000-mile mark and that West Virginia would be his 21st state. In May 2012, he will ven away from the gas station and allegedly physically assaulted before being dropped off on Hebbardsville Road in Athens County. Since then, Rutter — as well as his brother — have recanted the initial version of events. This preceded the plea agreement presented in Athens County Common Pleas Court Thursday. Bomb threat closes Gallia County Courthouse Friday ODYSSEY OF FAITH See Odyssey, A5 OBITUARIES $1.50 • Vol. 45, No. 37 BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM Stephanie Filson/photos Scot King, president and founder of Remember the Wounded Ride, Inc., recently made a stop at the Gallipolis Elks Lodge during the first leg of his nationwide, 20,000-mile bicycle journey, which focuses on educating the public about the struggles of wounded veterans and their families. King is on a mission to retrieve a state flag from each of the lower 48 states to be flown at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon in honor of wounded veterans across the nation. GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Courthouse shut its doors to the public on Friday afternoon following a bomb threat to one of the county offices. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, the bomb threat came in shortly after 11 a.m. on Friday, and, following a group decision, the courthouse offices closed their doors at 12 p.m. as a precautionary measure. A preliminary investigation indicated that the bomb threat was just that — a threat. Browning reported that the sheriff’s office is continuing to look into the incident. “We are using all available technology to track the bomb threat back to the person responsible and to file charges,” Browning said. Only essential staff remained on site on Friday afternoon and, according to Browning, the courthouse is expected to reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday. Former fugitive sentenced in Meigs meth case BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A Middleport man charged in a methamphetamine raid near the Gallia/Meigs county line and later considered a fugitive has been sentenced to six years in prison. Mark Rathburn was captured near Rutland in May after being at large for several weeks. He was sentenced in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on two counts of illegal manufacture of drugs and permitting drug abuse. Rathburn was sentenced to 10 years on one count of illegal manufacture of drugs, which was suspended, five years on another count and one year for per- mitting drug abuse. Rathburn, 49, was arrested after deputies spotted him riding in a pickup truck on McCumber Road May 26. Rathburn had been at large and wanted since he fled through a secondfloor window during the late February raid of a house on Lower Ohio 7, where investigators dis- covered meth and materials used in its manufacture. He was one of five charged in that case and was indicted for illegal manufacture of metamphetamine and a related charge of permitting drug abuse. A 13 year-old girl was removed from that residence during the investi- gation. Deputies were on their way to search Rathburn’s alleged residence on McCumber Road last week when they saw him riding in a pickup truck, Sheriff Robert Beegle said. A portable meth apparatus was allegedly thrown from the vehicle, and Rathburn was arrested. Serenity House launches ‘Sponsor an Hour’ campaign BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM High: 76 Low: 59 INDEX 2 SECTIONS — 16 PAGES Classifieds B4-6 Comics B7 Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. GALLIPOLIS — A local shelter that provides a myriad of services to help homeless women and victims of domestic violence rebuild their lives is in dire need of funding to continue its services to the community. Serenity House, a shelter located in Gallipolis, is currently launching its “Sponsor an Hour” campaign in an attempt to raise additional funding to maintain basic functions of the shelter. “It costs about $600 a day, or approximately $25 per hour, to run the shelter, so we are asking people if they can sponsor an hour or two or more or a day,” Serenity House Director Melissa Kimmel said. Serenity House provides not only a roof and safety for women and their children in need in Meigs, Gallia and Jackson Counties, but also advocacy, referral services and education about domestic violence and homelessness to the community. “We provide shelter for homeless women and victims of domestic violence. It’s a dual shelter and, in that, we provide basic needs, food, personal hygiene products, 24hours staffing, a crisis line and help with goal attainment,” Kimmel said. Serenity House is a 1012 bed facility, depending on the ratio of adults to children, according to Kimmel, and throughout the summer the shelter has remained at or above capacity. Due to this, Kimmel reported that, as with other public assistance agencies, Serenity House is in need of donations. “We receive money through three different state grants and we have some local funding, with marriage licenses fees and United Way funding, and we are very grateful for that, but the rest of it, we rely on donations,” Kimmel said. “Like every other social service agency, we are struggling.” From January to July of 2011, Serenity House provided shelter to 59 women and children for a total of nearly 1,100 bed nights. This equates to having food at hand for over 3,500 meals. Kimmel stated that she is hopeful that the “Sponsor an Hour” campaign will become an ongoing fundraiser that will raise $10,000 a year or more for the shelter. To “Sponsor and Hour,” make checks payable to Serenity House, P.O. Box 454, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Serenity House is also always in need of paper products, frozen food items and laundry soap and is currently in need of bed and bath linens. To contact Serenity House, call (740) 4466752. “We appreciate the support,” Kimmel commented. “We have sponsors who are exceptionally generous, and we appreciate them everyday.” �Sunday, September 11, 2011 Meigs Calendar of Events Public meetings Monday, Sept. 12 POMEROY – Regular meeting of Meigs County Agricultural Society, 7:30 p.m. at the Coon Hunters Building on the Rocksprings fairgrounds.

B RO T H E R S She feels husband ruined her life BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: Five years ago, I was in a happy marriage and was on top of the world. Then my husband got involved with another woman, and my world fell apart. Now I've been divorced for two years, and I can't seem to move forward. I have feelings of bitterness and hatred toward my ex-husband, and I can't seem to find happiness in anything I do. I know this attitude isn't good for me and wonder if it can affect my health, which hasn't been so good lately either. — M.N. Dear M.N.: Although you have been divorced for only two years and it takes a different amount of time for different people to heal from a shattered relationship, it seems as though you have not been able to begin the recovery process in a way that is allowing you to feel good about yourself and let go of some of your bitter feelings. Since you are wondering if this can affect your health, it might be interesting to look at a study recently published by researchers at Concordia University. The study suggests that persistent bitterness — that is, blaming others for unfortunate occurrences — can indeed result in physical illness. They found that failure affects people in profound ways if they are unable to move past their emotions to a more positive place. This can affect physical health as well as make your life an emotional train wreck. Other psychologists have even suggested the existence of a Dr. Joyce Brothers post-traumatic embitterment disorder. The key is to be able to regulate your emotions, make a conscious decision to let go of the bitterness, even if you feel it is justified, The study suggests that persistent bitterness — that is, blaming others for unfortunate occurrences — can indeed result in physical illness. and be able to forgive your husband. You may not feel he deserves it, but neither do you deserve to live a dysfunctional life. But it is up to you to change it. * ** Dear Dr. Brothers: I'm single and in my mid30s, looking for a good relationship. I recently moved to a new town and joined a lively political discussion group. Right away, I was attracted to this man who was very outgoing and a bit flamboyant. We started dating, and I enjoy his eccentric ways. But every time I mention him Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis to my girlfriends in the group, they roll their eyes and smirk. I have the idea that they think he's sort of a joke. Now I am wondering if I am wrong to date him.— I.H. Dear I.H.: It's always disconcerting when our friends question our judgment, and I can see why you are having second thoughts. The qualities that attracted you to this guy probably are the same ones that rub your girlfriends the wrong way -- or perhaps, knowing that they have a longer history of dealing with him than you do, at least on a superficial level, there's a question in your mind about what they might know that you don't. It would not be unreasonable to confront them in a pleasant way and ask if they have some specific objection to your dating him that you should hear. That is not to say that you should live your life based on others' opinions. What you are really upset about is questioning your own judgment. Maybe you have rushed into something that will end badly because you didn't take the time to get to know much about this new man in your life. Do a little investigating. If you find that it is only his personality that bothers other people but you find him nice, kind and stable, as well as charming and fun, stop secondguessing your decision. As you get to know him, your heart and mind will tell you if he is right for you — those are the resources you really should put stock in, not the eye-rolling of your friends.

Counterterrorism officials have been working around the clock to determine whether the threat is accurate, and extra security was put in place to protect the people in the two cities that took the brunt of the jetliner attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon a decade ago. It was the worst terror assault in the nation's history, and al-Qaida has long dreamed of striking again to mark the anniversary. But it could be weeks before the intelligence community can say whether this particular threat is real. Security worker Eric Martinez wore a pin depicting the twin towers on his lapel as he headed to work in lower Manhattan on Friday where he also worked 10 years ago when the towers came down. "If you're going to be afraid, you're just going to stay home," he said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, too, made a point of taking the subway to City Hall. Briefed on the threat Friday morning, President Barack Obama instructed his security team to take "all necessary precautions," the White House said. Obama still plans to travel to New York on Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary with stops that day at the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. Washington commuters were well aware of the terror talk. Cheryl Francis, of Chantilly, Va., said she travels over the Roosevelt bridge into Washington every day and doesn't plan to change her habits. Francis, who was in Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, said a decade later the country is more aware and alert. "It's almost like sleeping with one eye open," she said, but she added that people need to continue living their lives. Late Wednesday, U.S. officials received information about a threat that included details they considered specific: It involved up to three people, either in the U.S. or who were traveling to the country; a plan concocted with the help of al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri; a car bomb as a possible weapon and New York or Washington as potential targets. Officials described the information to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive matters. Counterterrorism officials were looking for certain names associated with the threat, but it was unclear whether the names were real or fake. The intelligence community regularly receives tips and information of this nature. But the timing of this particular threat had officials especially concerned, because it was the first "active plot" that came to light as the country marked the significant anniversary, a moment that was also significant to alQaida, according to information gleaned in May from Osama bin Laden's compound. The U.S. government has long known that terrorists see the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and other uniquely American dates as opportunities to strike. Officials have also been concerned that some may see this anniversary as an opportunity to avenge bin Laden's death. Britain, meanwhile, warned its citizens who are traveling to the U.S. that there was a potential for new terror attacks that could include "places frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers." Acutely aware of these factors, law enforcement around the country had already increased security measures at airports, nuclear plants, train stations and more in the weeks leading up to Sept. 11. The latest threat, potentially targeting New York or Washington, prompted an even greater security surge in those cities. U.S. embassies and consulates abroad had also boosted their vigilance in preparation for the anniversary. At Penn Station in New York, transit authority police carried assault rifles and wore helmets and bullet proof vests as they watched crowds of com- muters. Police searched passengers' bags as they entered the subway, and National Guard troops in camouflage fatigues moved among riders, eyeing packages. Retired kindergarten teacher Roseanne Lee was in town from Islip, N.Y., to visit her son and said her taxi was stopped twice at police checkpoints on its way from the Upper East Side to Penn Station. Police looked in the windows of the cab, but did not ask questions, she said. At one checkpoint, police were searching a moving van. "But I don't care," said Lee, 64. "It's better to be safe. You can't stop doing what you're doing because of these threats. You just have to be careful." In Washington, Police Chief Cathy Lanier warned that unattended cars parked in suspicious locations or near critical buildings and structures would be towed. Blackout a reminder of power grid vulnerabilities SAN DIEGO (AP) — A blackout that swept across parts of the Southwest and Mexico apparently began with a single utility worker and a minor repair job. How it then rippled from that worker in the Arizona desert, to southern California and across the border, plunging millions of people into darkness, has authorities and experts puzzled, especially since the power grid is built to withstand such mishaps. However it spread, Thursday's outage was a reminder that the nation's transmission lines remain all too vulnerable to cascading power failures. "There are a lot of critical pieces of equipment on the system and we have less defense than we think," said Rich Sedano at the Regulatory Assistance Project, a utility industry think tank based in Montpelier, Vt. There have been several similar failures in recent years. In 2003, a blackout knocked out power to 50 million people in the Midwest and the Northeast. And in 2005, a major outage struck the Los Angeles metropolitan area. That same year, Congress required utilities to comply with federal reliability standards for the electricity grid, instead of self-regulation. Layers of safeguards and backups were intended to isolate problems and make sure the power keeps flowing. But that didn't happen on Thursday. The Arizona Public Service Co. worker was switching out a capacitor, which controls voltage levels, outside Yuma, Ariz., near the California border. Shortly after, a section of a major regional power line failed, eventually spreading trouble further down in California and later Mexico, officials said. And the lights began to go out in a border region of roughly 6 million people. The outage knocked out traffic lights, causing gridlock on the roads. Two reactors at a nuclear power plant along the coast went offline after losing electricity. More than 2 million gallons of sewage spilled into the water, closing beaches in the nation's eighth-largest city. Many had to spend the night, on both sides of the U.S-Mexico border, struggling to fall asleep in the high temperatures. Federal investigators are trying to determine what caused the blackout and how future problems can be prevented. If regulatory violations are found, the government could issue fines of up to $1 million per day for every violation, officials said. Among the questions they will be asking is why the safeguards to keep power flowing appeared to work, at least at first. There was a roughly 10minute gap between the time the power line failed and customers lost electricity, said Daniel Froetscher, vice president of energy delivery for Phoenix-based APS. The line has been "solid, reliable" with no history of problems, Froetscher said. San Diego Gas & Electric Co. should have isolated the problem by shutting down the 500kilovolt Southwest Powerlink as it did during 2007 wildfires, said Michael Shames, executive director of the advocacy group, Utility Consumers' Action Network. "If a fire breaks out in the kitchen, the first thing you do is shut the door to the kitchen to stop it from spreading," he said. He also questioned why the San Onofre nuclear power plant was forced to shut down, and why other back-up energy didn't kick in. Shames said blaming the Arizona utility worker would be like overlooking the role of wooden buildings and inadequate firefighting protection in Chicago's 1871 fire. "It's sort of like saying the main reason for the Great Chicago Fire was the cow. The cow started the fire by kicking over the lantern but that's not what caused it," he said. Michael Niggli, SDG&E's president and chief operating officer, said the company had no time to shut down the line because it had no warning. Niggli said automatic circuit-breakers at San Onofre prevented the blackout from spreading to Southern California Edison, which serves 14 million people in the Los Angeles area. At a news conference Friday, Niggli compared the power grid to a quiet pond. "When somebody throws a rock in there, it causes ripples. Depending on how big that rock is, those ripples are going to affect everyone that's in that pond," he said. Experts say the problem could have been made worse by the way power flows into California. California imports huge amounts of power from Arizona and other states. When the voltage fluctuations caused the San Onofre nuclear station to shut down to protect itself, it deprived the grid of a huge source of Californiagenerated power. Normally, a loss of that power would result in more flowing from Arizona. But that power was already off line, depriving the region of power. Ex-auto chemical CEO sentenced in NY stock scheme NEW YORK (AP) — An Ohio lawyer convicted of helping to drive an automotive-chemical company to bankruptcy and loot it of millions of dollars in a stock manipulation scheme was sentenced Friday to seven to 21 years in a New York prison. A judge called the episode "a case of greed" that belied the attorney's claims that he was misled and betrayed by the company's former CEO. The lawyer, James Margulies, called his involvement with Industrial Enterprises of America Inc. the worst choice of his life, portrayed himself as the inexperienced dupe of a sophisticated businessman and told the judge he had a daughter with special needs who needed him at home. "My actions were wellintended at the time. By the time I recognized the potential harm of these actions, it was too late to do anything about them," Margulies said, speaking quickly but steadily. "I'm a corporate attorney. I was never trained to deal with or expect that my client would lie to me." That client, former Industrial Enterprises CEO John D. Mazzuto, has pleaded guilty to plundering the company he built. But state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro said Mazzuto's crimes didn't negate Margulies' role in a scheme that netted him $7 million to bankroll private jet travel, expensive homes and other plums. "I constantly hear that he was the architect, but you were certainly the engineer, the builder, who put together the mechanism," the judge said. "Without you, this crime would have never taken place." The Cleveland lawyer took on New York-based Industrial Enterprises as a client in 2004, excited to be representing a publicly traded company for the first time, he said. Briefly traded on the Nasdaq exchange, the stock now trades for pennies a share on the over-the-counter market. The company was the creation of Mazzuto, a former bank director and Yale University baseball bene- factor who started acquiring a series of car chemical companies in 2002. Industrial Enterprises' subsidiaries made antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid and other chemicals at plants in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In 2005, Mazzuto said he planned to retire and wanted to groom Margulies as his successor, Margulies said. "He was persuasive. He was Yale-educated. He was Wall Street-trained," said Margulies, who eventually became the company's finance chief and, briefly, its CEO. "I accepted the challenge. It was the absolute worst decision of my life." According to prosecutors, Mazzuto and Margulies issued millions of shares of a type of stock that can legally be given only to employees as part of a benefit plan, but the two funneled the shares instead to themselves, relatives and associates. Then the stock was sold and the money channeled back to Mazzuto and Margulies. They improperly recorded much of the money as revenue, which boosted the company's balance sheet, inflated its stock price and lured investors, prosecutors said. Margulies issued most of the illegal shares, and he tried to cover up the scam with sham transactions and phony consulting agreements for the stock recipients, prosecutors said. "Every single day, he knew what he was doing was illegal and wrong and in complete violation of his ethical and professional duties as an attorney," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Garrett Lynch said Friday. Ultimately, the company collapsed. Investors — including an Ohio teachers' pension fund and the Methodist Church — lost more than $100 million, according to prosecutors. Mazzuto and Margulies, meanwhile, gained millions, prosecutors said. Margulies used his illgotten money to buy $1 million-plus homes, a $350,000 diamond ring for his wife, a $500,000 vacation club membership and other luxuries, prosecutors said. Egyptians break into Israel Embassy in Cairo CAIRO (AP) — A group of about 30 protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo Friday and dumped hundreds of documents out of the windows after a day of demonstrations outside the building in which crowds swinging sledge hammers and using their bare hands tore apart the embassy's security wall. Hundreds of protesters converged on the embassy throughout the afternoon and into the night, tearing down large sections of the graffiti-covered security wall outside the 21-story building housing the embassy. Egyptian security forces made no attempt for hours to intervene. Just before midnight, a group of protesters reached a room on one of the embassy's lower floors at the top of the building and began dumping Hebrew-language documents from the windows, said an Egyptian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. In Jerusalem, an Israeli official confirmed the embassy had been broken into, saying it appeared the group reached a waiting room on the lower floor. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to release the information. No one answered the phone at the embassy late Friday. Since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in February, calls have grown in Egypt for ending the historic 1979 peace treaty with Israel, a pact that has never had the support of ordinary Egyptians. Anger increased last month after Israeli forces responding to a cross-border militant attack mistakenly killed five Egyptian police officers near the border. Several large protests have taken place outside the embassy in recent months without serious incident. Friday's demonstration, however, quickly escalated with crowds pummeling the security wall with sledge hammers and tearing away large sections of the cement and metal barrier, which was recently put up to better protect the site from protests. For the second time in less than a month, protest- ers were able to get to the top of the building and pull down the Israeli flag. Protesters also clashed with police and set fire to a police truck outside the embassy. Crowds also tried to attack a nearby police station but were turned back by the military. State radio reported that 163 people were injured. Thousands elsewhere protested for the first time in a month against the country's military rulers. Seven months after the popular uprising that drove Mubarak from power, Egyptians are still pressing for a list of changes, including more transparent trials of former regime figures accused of corruption and a clear timetable for parliamentary elections. Egyptians have grown increasingly distrustful of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took control of the country when Mubarak was forced out on Feb. 11 after nearly three decades in power. The council, headed by Mubarak's defense minister, Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi, has voiced its support for the revolution and those who called for democracy and justice. But activists accuse it of remaining too close to Mubarak's regime and practicing similarly repressive policies, including abusing detainees. The trials of thousands of civilians in military courts has also angered activists. "In the beginning we were with the military because they claimed to be protectors of the revolution, but month after month nothing has changed," said doctor Ghada Nimr, one of those who gathered in Tahrir Square. One banner in Cairo read, "Egyptians, come out of your homes, Tantawi is Mubarak." Demonstrators in Cairo also converged on the state TV building, a central courthouse and the Interior Ministry, a hated symbol of abuses by police and security forces under Mubarak. Protesters covered one of the ministry's gates with graffiti and tore off parts of the large ministry seal. Protests also took place in Alexandria, Suez and several other cities. �OPINION Page A4 Sunday, September 11, 2011 825 Third Avenue • Gallipolis, Ohio (740) 446-2342 • FAX (740) 446-3008 www.mydailytribune.com Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution No more mail? What would Ben Franklin think? BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Imagine a nation without the Postal Service. No more birthday cards and bills or magazines and catalogs filling the mailbox. It's a worst-case scenario being painted for an organization that lost $8.5 billion in 2010 and seems headed deeper into the red this year. "A lot of people would miss it," says Tony Conway, a 34year post office veteran who now heads the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers. Businesses, too. The letter carrier or clerk is the face of the mail. But hanging in the balance is a $1.1 trillion mailing industry that employs more than 8 million people in direct mail, periodicals, catalogs, financial services, charities and other businesses that depend on the post office. Who would carry mail to the Hualapai Indian Reservation in the Grand Canyon? To islands off the coast of Maine? To rural villages in Alaska? Only the post office goes to those places and thousands of others in the United States, and all for 44 cents. And it's older than the United States itself. Ernest Burkes Sr. says his bills, magazines and diabetes medication are mailed to his home in Canton, in northeast Ohio, and he frequently visits the post office down the street to send first-class mail, mostly documents for the tax service he runs. As his business increased over the past three decades, so has the load of mail he sends, and it's still pretty steady. "I don't know what I'd do if they'd close down the post offices," said Burkes, who doesn't use rival delivery services such as UPS or FedEx. "They need to help them, just like they helped some of these other places, automobiles and others." Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe is struggling to keep his money-losing organization afloat as more and more people are ditching mail in favor of the Internet, causing the lucrative first-class mail flow to plummet. Donahoe has a plan to turn things around, if he can get the attention of Congress and pass a series of hurdles, including union concerns. "The Postal Service is not going out of business," postal spokesman David Partenheimer said. "We will continue to deliver the mail as we have for more than 200 years. The postmaster general has developed a plan that will return the Postal Service to financial stability. We continue to do what we can on our own to achieve this plan and we need Congress to do its part to get us there." He acknowledged that if Congress doesn't act, the post office could reach a point next summer where it doesn't have the money to keep operating. That wouldn't sit well with Mimi Raskin, a wine and antiques store owner in Grants Pass, Ore., who likes her birthday card mailed. "If you get a birthday card on the Internet, it's like, well, I didn't care about you enough to go to a store, buy a card that suited your personality, and mail it," she said. Donahoe and his predecessor, John Potter, have warned for years of the problems and stressed that the post office will be unable to make a mandated $5.5 billion payment due Sept. 30 to a fund for future medical benefits for retirees. A 90-day delay on the payment has been suggested, but postal officials and others in the industry say a long-term solution is needed. Donahoe has one. It includes laying off staff beyond the 110,000 cut in the past four years, closing as many as 3,700 offices, eliminating Saturday delivery and switching from the federal retirement plan to one of its own. Cliff Guffey, president of the American Postal Workers Union, called the proposal "outrageous, illegal and despicable."

Of the companies and organizations that lost people that day, none was harder hit than the financial services firm that occupied the 101st to 105th floors of the north tower at the World Trade Center. Out of 960 employees in New York, 658 were killed — no employee in Cantor’s offices at the time survived. Whole divisions were decimated. Led by CEO Howard Lutnick, those who were still alive made a decision — the company would survive. They wouldn’t let what they had worked so hard to create crumble. And they would honor those they had lost. Ten years later, Cantor has regained its size and then some. The company and a spinoff, BGC Partners, employ 1,500 people in New York City and have other offices in countries around the world. Cantor has kept its word to the families of those employees lost on 9/11 — distributing millions of dollars of the firm’s profits to them, and covering health care costs for the past 10 years. “The best way to show someone you love them is to care for the people they love,” Lutnick said. On the day of the attacks, Lutnick was delayed getting to the office because he had taken his son to his first day of kindergarten. That delay spared him. Others escaped the attacks because they happened to schedule an out-ofoffice trip for that day, or were in the building but hadn’t yet made it up to the offices. When the first plane hit the north tower at 8:46 a.m., it destroyed the stairwells, making it impossible for anyone above the point of impact around the 94th to 98th floors to descend. The north tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. Lutnick said, “I didn’t think there was a choice. Either we take care of our friends’ families or I’m not a human being.” Lutnick made it to the scene after the first plane hit and was there when the tower fell. He can still feel and see the horror of that day. “It was black outside, there was no air outside, so I knew that people inside the trade center couldn’t possibly be alive,” Lutnick said recently from the company’s offices in midtown Manhattan. Among them were his brother, Gary, and his best friend, Doug Gardner, Cantor’s CFO. When the smoke cleared, the towers lay in rubble. So did parts of Cantor. “What we had was secretaries that had lost their bosses, divisions of 86 who had only four remaining,” Lutnick said. “There were many divisions we couldn’t rebuild.” But they returned to work, even as families and friends grieved for those who were suddenly gone, to get their systems running again. “We were faced with that horror in every moment of our day but we had this tremendous task in front of us,” said Joseph Noviello, Cantor’s executive vice president and chief product architect, who at the time was the chief technology officer and had been scheduled to go on a daytrip on Sept 11. “You were looking for friends, you were hoping and praying that people were just going to find their way and get in contact with you, and while that was going on we were working around the clock to bring back the systems,” he said. They were back online in days. As Cantor’s surviving employees returned to work, it was with a new purpose. “My goal after 9/11 was to take care of the families of the people we lost, and that was the most important thing,” Lutnick said. That translated into a big financial commitment — 25 percent of Cantor’s profits for five years were set aside to be distributed to the families, which in the end amounted to $180 million. Their health care costs were to be covered for 10 years. And the company marked every Sept. 11 as a day for charity, a day when every dollar made would be given to good causes. “We all had to commit to doing something different,” Lutnick said. “It changed our outlook about what was important about business.” The attacks “just created sort of that bang of what type of human being are you right here, right now,” Lutnick said. “I didn’t think there was a choice. Either we take care of our friends’ families or I’m not a human being.” Of those who survived that day, only about 150 are still at the company. But the impact of the attacks runs through Cantor, Lutnick said. The company’s yearly commemoration goes a long way toward helping new employees understand that, he said. Every year, family members of those lost are invited to speak about their loved ones. “Together, we celebrate their lives,” Lutnick said. “At the end of the night, the brand-new employee? They get it,” he said. “It’s not trying to leave the past behind but it’s not allowing the past to define you. It’s bringing the families with us and going forward together, not seeking closure but seeking friendship.” 9/11 victim 0001: Father Mychal’s message The body bag marked “Victim 0001” on Sept. 11, 2001, contained the corpse of Father Mychal Judge, a Catholic chaplain with the Fire Department of New York. When he heard about the disaster at the World Trade Center, he donned his Catholic collar and firefighter garb and raced downtown. He saw people jump to their deaths to avoid the inferno over 1,000 feet above. At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower collapsed, and the force and debris from that mass of steel, concrete, glass and humanity as it hit the ground is likely what killed Father Mychal. His was the first recorded death from the attacks that morning. His life’s work should be central to the 10thanniversary commemorations of the Sept. 11 attacks: peace, tolerance and reconciliation. One of the first vigils held this year was in honor of Father Mychal. About 300 people gathered last Sunday in front of the St. Francis Church where Judge lived and worked, just down the block from the Ladder 24/Engine 1 Firehouse. The march followed Father Mychal’s final path to ground zero. The man behind the annual remembrance is Steven McDonald, the former New York police detective who was shot in 1986. He was questioning 15-year-old Shavod Jones in Central Park. Jones shot McDonald, leaving him paralyzed for Amy Goodman life. I caught up with McDonald as he led the procession, rolling down Seventh Avenue in his wheelchair. He talked about what Father Mychal meant to him: “He, more than anything ... reaffirmed my faith in God, and that it was important to me to forgive the boy who shot me. And I’m alive today because of that.” Father Mychal had managed to get Jones on the phone with McDonald and his wife. He apologized from prison. Taking the lessons of reconciliation, McDonald joined Judge in a trip to Northern Ireland, where they worked together to try to help end the violence there. Father Mychal was well-known to the poor and afflicted of New York City and New Jersey. He helped the homeless, and people with HIV/AIDS. As a member of the Franciscan order, he would often wear the traditional brown robe and sandals. But there was a half-known secret about him: He was gay. In his private diaries, the revered Catholic priest wrote, “I thought of my gay self and how the people I meet never get to know me fully.” The diaries were given to journalist Michael Daly by Judge’s twin sister, Dympna, and appear in Daly’s book “The Book of Mychal: The Surprising Life and Heroic Death of Father Mychal Judge.” Brendan Fay is a longtime Irish-American gay activist who was a friend of Judge’s. He produced a film about the Franciscan friar in 2006, called “Saint of 9/11,” and is finishing up another one called “Remembering Mychal.” Fay told me this week: “He was one of the priests at Dignity New York, an organization for gay and lesbian Catholics. ... He ministered to [us] during the AIDS crisis, when there were few priests available to our community.” I first interviewed Fay in October 2001, after an Associated Press photo appeared showing a U.S. bomb before being dropped on Afghanistan, with the words scrawled in chalk, “High Jack This, Fags.” The offensive slogan forced the military to order its sailors to pen more “positive” messages on their bombs. On Sept. 20, 2001, President George W. Bush addressed a joint session of Congress. He declared, famously, “They hate our free- doms.” He welcomed Lisa Beamer to the Capitol, the widow of Todd Beamer, the passenger on board United Flight 93 who was heard to say, “Let’s roll” before attacking the hijackers. Beamer’s fellow passenger, Mark Bingham, a rugby player and publicrelations consultant who also joined in the fight to prevent the hijackers from using the plane as a weapon, was openly gay. As was David Charlebois, the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon. A decade later, Brendan Fay reflects on the life of his friend: “On 9/11, the one thing we can take from Mychal Judge is, in the midst of this hell and war and evil and violence, here is this man who directs us to another possible path as human beings: We can choose the path of compassion and nonviolence and reconciliation. Mychal Judge had a heart as big as New York. There was room for everybody. And I think that’s the lesson.” Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

Member SIPC. Odyssey From Page A1 cycle through the southern states on his way back to Salem, covering an estimated 12,000 additional miles. King set out with a mapped route but no specific lodging plans. He said that the generosity and brotherhood of Elks lodges and their respective members across the country has been remarkable. He said he has visited with the membership of about 50 Elks lodges across the U.S. along the course of his trip so far. “This has been a very humbling experience, and doing it as an Elk is awesome,” said King. “We wouldn’t be able to do this had it not been for their support. I didn’t realize how many nice people there really are out there. Patriotism is very much alive.” With so many hurdles to overcome each day, it seems difficult to define “success” in terms of the journey — but King was quick to sum it up. “My only wish is that I might help in some small way to take the demons away from those veterans that can’t sleep at night,” explained King, wiping a tear from his cheek. “If I can do that, I’ve done my job.” To support Remember the Wounded Ride or for more information about the tax-deductible organization, visit their website at: www.rememberthewoundedride.com.

The commission split, 22, on whether to uphold or reject a decision by an independent nuclear licensing board. The board voted last year to block the Energy Department from withdrawing its application for Yucca Mountain, a remote site 90 miles from Las Vegas. The licensing board said the government failed to make a scientific case for why the application should be withdrawn. Despite the split vote, the NRC said in an order Friday that the licensing board should continue steps to close out work on Yucca Mountain by the end of the month, citing "budgetary limitations." The Energy Department has not requested additional funding for Yucca Mountain, and NRC spending on Yucca expires at the end of the month. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A7 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis The NRC decision appeared to be a victory for NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko, who last year ordered NRC staff to halt work on the Yucca project. Jaczko, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Yucca Mountain's leading congressional opponent, has made a series of decisions to delay or halt work on the Nevada dump since becoming chairman in 2009. His actions have infuriated congressional Republicans, who accuse Jaczko of carrying out the wishes of Reid and President Barack Obama, who appointed Jaczko as NRC chairman and promised in the 2008 campaign to kill the Yucca Mountain project. The NRC vote may not be the last word on the issue. Two top leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee said in a statement Friday that the NRC's action "means the Yucca Mountain license application remains alive." GOP Reps. Fred Upton Alzheimer support group to meet Thursday of Michigan and John Shimkus of Illinois said the tie vote means the June 2010 decision by the independent Atomic Safety Licensing Board is not overturned and the DOE's motion to withdraw the Yucca Mountain application is not granted. Upton chairs the Energy and Commerce panel, while Shimkus heads an environment subcommittee. NRC Commissioner William Ostendorff agreed with Upton and Shimkus. Ostendorff, a Republican, supports using Yucca Mountain for storage of nuclear waste and has clashed with Jaczko over the NRC's handling of the issue. "In my discussions with senior NRC attorneys, a 22 split is legally unambiguous" and leaves the licensing board's decision intact, Ostendorff said in an email. Ostendorff said the NRC order "acknowledges the current fiscal realities" and directs the licensing board to take steps to close out its review of the project. The monthly meeting of the Gallia County Alzheimer’s/Dementia Family Caregiver Support Group will be held on Thursday, September 15, at 1:30 p.m. in the Holzer Education and Davis Family Conference Center, located on the Ground Floor at Holzer Medical Center. The facilitator for the meeting is Melissa Dever, BSW, LSW, Southeastern Ohio Branch Program Manager for the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. September’s program will feature information on Early Diagnosis/ Younger Onset of Alzheimer’s and other dementia, to raise awareness of the impor- tance of early diagnosis. This is a direct result of the announcement on August 23, 2011, by Pat Summit, legendary University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach, of her diagnosis with early-onset dementia. An explanation of what is younger-onset Alzheimer’s, how it can affect a person’s life and career and the issues faced by people with youngeronset Alzheimer’s and their families will be reviewed, including services and support available for people with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. Also, Dever will have the latest information on the September 17 walk in Portsmouth, with the theme, “The End of Alzheimer’s Starts with You.” Participating in the walk will be the Gallia County Survivors’ Walk Team. Holzer Long-term Care Division offers supervised care of individuals with dementia during the meeting, at no charge, so caregivers may attend. Arrangements should be made in advance by calling Amber Johnson at (740) 441-3406, to make a reservation. Refreshments will be served. This support group serves families in Gallia County and the surrounding area, with regular monthly meetings on the third Thursday of each month. Caregivers are urged to attend. Report: DNA method helpful in seeking Asian carp TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Federal officials promised Friday to improve two crucial weapons in the fight to prevent Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes: an electric fish barrier near Chicago and an early-warning system that detects carp DNA in waterways. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a report by four independent scientists who analyzed the "environmental DNA" process that government and university scientists have used the past two years to search for the carp on both sides of the barrier. The study concluded the means of detecting the carps' genetic material in water samples is fundamentally sound but should be refined to answer questions such as whether the DNA came from live carp and, if so, how many. Research to improve the system is under way, Army Corps officials said. The Corps also announced it was turning up the juice on the barrier network in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, a man-made link between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River system. The barrier is designed to prevent Asian carp and other fish from migrating between watersheds and competing with native species for food and living space. A touch of nerves over security at NY Fashion Week 60242536 NEW YORK (AP) — A touch of nerves over a terrorist alert permeated Day 2 of Fashion Week as the industry ran to and fro Friday through stepped-up security on road and rail. "It's kind of scary," Christian Siriano said as he madly put the finishing touches on his Saturday show. "We're just kind of pumping through it." National Guard troops Gallipolis Daily Tribune and transit police with assault rifles watched crowds at Penn Station and stopped vehicles at the 59th Street bridge in Manhattan after counterterrorism officials received a tip of a possible al-Qaida car bombing in New York City or Washington around the Sept. 11 anniversary Sunday. "We're taking the threat seriously and are in con- stant contact with city and police officials," said Zach Eichman, a spokesman for IMG, which runs the eight-day series of spring previews at Lincoln Center. A London student, 20year-old Jessica Anuna, who also edits an online fashion magazine, is staying in a Times Square hotel during her first turn at Fashion Week.

Homes and businesses swamped in Pa., NY BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) — The swollen Susquehanna River began returning to its banks Friday in Pennsylvania and New York after swamping thousands of homes and businesses in some of the highest floodwaters ever seen. But most of the 100,000 people forced from their homes could do little more than worry as they waited for the all-clear. "I haven't even been able to get close to it to see what's left. I don't know what we're going to do," said 68-year-old Carolyn White of West Pittston, Pa., who is disabled and uses a scooter to get around. Her son managed to get close enough to see that the first floor of her house was flooded, but that was about all she knew. The Susquehanna and its tributaries raged out of control after the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped heavy rain on the already-soggy Northeast on Thursday. In many places, the river broke the highwater records set nearly 40 years ago in the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Agnes. Swirling brown waters carried off at least 10 houses in Pennsylvania alone, spilled into basements, lapped at doorsteps and filled some homes to the rooftops, forcing rescues by boat and helicopter and putting severe strain on the floodwalls that protect some towns. Downstream, communities in Maryland awaited the worst from the still-rising river. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett issued a stern warning to evacuated residents to stay away: "This is still a dangerous time, even though it's nice and sunny out." At least 14 deaths have been blamed on Lee and its aftermath: six in Pennsylvania, three in Virginia, one in Maryland, and four others killed when it came ashore on the Gulf Coast last week. President Barack Obama declared states of emergency in Pennsylvania and New York, opening the way for federal aid. The central Pennsylvania town of Bloomsburg endured its worst flood in more than a century as the Susquehanna inundated hundreds of homes, destroying some of them. The high water prevented fire crews from reaching blazes in a high school maintenance shed and the town's recycling center. The river crested at nearly 42.7 feet Thursday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — beyond the design capacity of the region's levee system and higher than the record set during Agnes in 1972. Officials said the levees keeping back the Susquehanna were under "extreme stress" but holding, and crews scrambled to shore up weak points. Corbett toured the region by helicopter and scolded residents who scaled the weakened levees or walked across partially flooded bridges to get a closer look at the river. "There were many people out on the street oblivious to the danger they were in," he said. About 135 water and sewage plants in Pennsylvania were flooded, causing sewage to spill into streams and rivers. The state capital of Harrisburg evacuated 6,000 to 10,000 residents in low-lying areas, while about 70,000 people were ordered to leave the Wilkes-Barre area. As the northernmost reaches of the Susquehanna began retreating, the first of about 20,000 evacuees in the city and suburbs of Binghamton, N.Y., returned to their homes to survey the damage from what the mayor called the worst flood in more than 60 years. Robert Smith made it back home around noon. Mud and debris covered the pavement, and water still blocked streets closest to the river. But he said he felt inspired by the time he spent in a shelter. When a woman collapsed on the floor there, he said, strangers rushed to tend to her.

The Rebels — who had double digit wins in the first two games of the season — were making their first trip to Trimble as a member of the TVC Hocking. The Tomcats were looking for their first win of the season after 20-plus point losses in the first two weeks. South Gallia took the early lead in the game with a 28 yard touchdown run by Ethan Spurlock at the 10:51 mark of the first quarter. The two point conversion attempt failed, giving the Rebels the 6-0 lead. It did not take long for the Tomcats to tie the game, with a one yard touchdown run by Justin Jewell at the 6:05 mark of the first quarter. South Gallia appeared ready to ad to its lead in the third, but several penalties pushed the Rebels back deep into their own territory and forced a punt. More penalties help to give the Tomcats excellent field position on their next drive, which resulted in the go ahead score. Austin Keith ran the ball in from five yards out to give Trimble the 12-6 lead following the failed extra point. Trimble maintained the six point lead into the fourth quarter. At the 8:47 mark of the fourth quarter, South Gallia’s Austin Phillips pushed the ball in from one yard out to give the Rebels their second touchdown of the game. Spurlock added the two point conversion to give South Gallia the 1412 lead. The lead was brief, as Trimble scored on its first play of the next drive. The Tomcats setup a reverse play with Konner Standley throwing a 63 yard touchdown pass to Wyatt Deak for the go-ahead score. Trimble led 18-14 after the failed two point conversion attempt.

Roush and Barrett both ran for career highs, Roush 205 yards, while Barrett added 111 as Meigs played their first home game, in the last season for Bob Roberts Field. After 61 years, Meigs will be playing next year at the new stadium at the high school. The Raiders received the opening kickoff and after picking up a first down, Blake Crow picked off an Austin Whobrey pass. Six plays later Roush scored from nine yards out. Barrett added the extra points for a 7-0 Meigs lead with 7:08 left in the period. On the Marauder next possession, the maroon and gold drove to the Raider 18, but the drive came up short and Meigs turned the ball over on downs. River Valley drove to the 36 and Meigs held and Jacob Leach punted 35 yards to the Meigs 29. On first downs Roush went around the right end, broke a tackle and went 71 yards for the score. A bad snap on the extra point, but Dillon Boyer picked up the ball and ran it in for a 15-0 Meigs lead at the 11:46 mark of the first half. Two other times I the half, Meigs drove into Raider territory, but each time the raider defense stiffened and held on downs, and Meigs took a 15-0 lead into the locker room at the half. Meigs took the second half kickoff, and put together an 11 play, 59 yard drive with Roush scoring from a yard out. Barrett added the extra points for the 22-0 final. The Raiders were in Meigs territory on once, and that was with 7:22 left in the contest, taking over at the Meigs 47 after a Marauder punt. The Raiders drove to the Marauder 30, but Roush picked off a Whobrey pass to end the threat. “I’m proud of the kids,” Marauder coach Mike Chancey said. “I think we are getting better every week. But we have to continue to cut down on our mistakes and penalties (14 for 125). We will enjoy this and work hard to get ready for a good Minford team next week.” Roush led Meigs with 205 yards in 23 carriers, Barrett added 111 in 23 tries, Dillon Boyer added 55 in seven tries, Zach Sayre 22 in six and Andrew Burt 12 in three tires, Boyer was one of six in the air a 15 yard pass to Sayre.

BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM RACINE, Ohio — The Southern football team came to play Friday evening, taking a 130 lead less than six minutes into the game. The Tornadoes (1-2, 1-1 TVC Hocking) held on for the 20-14 victory over visiting Belpre (0-3, 0-1 TVC Hocking) in the league matchup. For the second straight season, Southern’s first win came against the Golden Eagles. Southern won at Belpre last season by a 16-0 score. With Danny Ramthun moving over from quarterback to running back and Tristen Wolfe getting his first start under center, the new look Southern offense proved strong in the early portion of the game. After holding the Golden Eagles to just four plays on their first drive, Southern wasted little time putting points on the board. Five consecutive rushing plays were capped off by a 28 yard touchdown run by Danny Ramthun. Ramthun also added the extra point kick to give Southern the 7-0 lead at the 8:17 mark of the first quarter. Belpre gained just two yards on its next series, and was once again forced to punt the ball away. Southern’s Devin Dillard blocked the Belpre punt, allowing the Tornadoes to take possession at the Belpre 12 yard line. On the next play Ramthun broke two tackles on his way to the end zone for the 12 yard touchdown run. The extra point kick failed, giving the Tornadoes the 13-0 lead. Belpre pieced together a 12 play drive on its next possession, moving the ball from its own 20 yard line to the 30 of the Tornadoes.

The White Falcons received a 158 yard rushing performance by senior fullback Anthony Grimm with junior Crandale Neal adding 115 yards on the evening.

In short, there is no magic date to pinpoint, nothing you can circle on a calendar or pass down in folklore. Hummingbirds are beneficial to humans because they aid in plant pollination, plus they are really cool to watch as they feed; we get a chance to help them out in turn by feeding them and helping them prepare for their annual migration. The birds need that high-energy food for their long trip south. It is hard to envision hummingbirds as long-distance travelers, but many of them make the long trip across the Gulf of Mexico to Central America or even down to South America where they spend the winter before returning again next spring. The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District’s annual meeting and banquet will be held Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Meigs High School cafeteria. Guest speaker Tom Tugend, deputy chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Mineral Resources Management, will discuss drilling for Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale natural gas. A veteran ODNR employee with nearly 30 years of service, Tugend is responsible for overseeing the state’s oil and gas program as it relates to the division’s regulatory authority. Tickets for the meeting and banquet are $13 each and are available at the Meigs SWCD Office at 33101 Hiland Road or from Meigs SWCD employees and supervisors. Eligible voters will also select two of three candidates for the Meigs SWCD Board of Supervisors at the meeting with voting beginning at 6 p.m. Non-resident landowners with property in Ohio will now have to pony up for non-resident hunting and fishing licenses, tags and permits. A new Ohio law that went into effect on July 1 will affect out-ofstate hunters who own land in Ohio. Here in Meigs and Gallia counties the change will particularly affect West Virginia residents who own hunting land in Ohio. The new law requires non-resident owners of land in Ohio, and their children and grandchildren, if applicable, to purchase non-resident hunting licenses, permits and tags, and fishing licenses even to hunt or fish on property that they own. Prior to July 1 Ohio landowners with residency status somewhere other than Ohio did not have to purchase licenses or permits to hunt, trap or fish on land they own. So now the only landowners who will get license exemptions are those who also live in Ohio, and of course that is only while hunting or fishing on their own land. This change in Ohio law also nullifies a reciprocal agreement with Indiana, which means that Ohio residents with land holdings in Indiana are required to purchase a nonresident hunting license, deer or wild turkey permit, fur taker permit, or nonresident fishing license in that state. Generally speaking, most states other than Ohio until now have required out-of-state landowners to purchase non-resident hunting and fishing licenses. In Ohio, a resident is considered, by law, a person who has resided in the state of Ohio for the past six consecutive months. For questions or clarification contact the Division of Wildlife at 1-800-WILDLIFE or visit its website at www.wildohio.com. The new law doesn’t affect the 1968 reciprocal agreement between West Virginia and Ohio concerning waterfowl hunting and fishing on the Ohio River. That agreement allows licensed residents of either state the right to hunt waterfowl or fish on the Ohio River and its embayments without the purchase of the other state’s license. This agreement applies to the Ohio River mainstem, shoreline and the shorelines and open waters of Ohio River tributaries and embayments. More information on that agreement is located in Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife or West Virginia Division of Natural Resources publication 404, Waterfowl Hunting and Fishing on the Ohio River.

Southern led 13-0 at the break. The Tornadoes took the opening kickoff on the second half, and started its drive near midfield. On the second play of the half, the Tornadoes fumbled a hand-off, with Belpre’s Jaime Barrett recovering the ball. Belpre took just three plays to put the ball in the end zone. Nate Teeters ran in from three yards out to put Belpre on the board. Adrienne Blair added the extra point kick to make the score 13-7. Just like it’s previous possession, Southern fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Barrett. Belpre took possession of the ball at its own 44 yard line and quickly moved the ball deep inside Southern territory. The Golden Eagles had first and 10 at the Southern 11, but the Tornadoes defense held Belpre to a combined seven yards on the next four plays to keep them out of the end zone. The Golden Eagles next drive lasted more than five minutes, but the Southern defense once again kept them out of the end zone. The Tornadoes took possession of the ball at its own 15 yard line with 8:55 remaining in the contest. On the second play of the drive, was intercepted by Belpre’s Manny Tullius to set up a second Belpre touchdown. Tullis returned the interception to the one yard line and — after a five yard penalty — Teeters ran the ball in for the game tying touchdown. The extra point kick by Blair gave Belpre its first lead of the contest, 14-13. The Southern offense refused to go away quietly, with Danny Ramthun taking control of the next drive. Three consecutive plays with Wolfe handing off to Ramthun moved the Tornadoes to within the 20 yard line of the Golden Eagles. A nine yard gain by Tyler Barton gave the Tornadoes first and goal at the 10. Three Scoring Summary Fremont Ross 32, Tol. Rogers 16 Ft. Loramie 53, Tol. Christian 0 Gahanna Cols. Academy 35, Cols.

You often go back and forth in your mind about what you should do as opposed to what you want to do. Relationships might not be easy, but with patience situations ultimately will work out. If you are single, many people express interest in you. Don’t commit until you are 100 percent sure. If you are attached, misunderstandings happen out of the blue. Improve your listening skills. Learn to confirm what you hear. PISCES can be challenging, but you have similar core issues. 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) ++++ Different aspects of your life vie for control. Meetings remain instrumental, though you might need time to get some work done. Close your door so you can attend to daily matters. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++++ Allow yourself to listen to associates. Meetings provide information and could demonstrate the difference in how others view situations. A child or loved one seems to need more attention. Let this person know when you will be there for him or her. Tonight: Until the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) +++ Demands seem to appear left and right. You will need to talk to a higher-up in order to confirm his or her priorities, which you probably need to make your own. Nevertheless, domestic matters require your attention. Juggle as much as you can. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ++++ You are juggling two different needs or people. A neighbor or sibling seeks you out frequently, and, of course, there is no stopping him or her. Make calls to those at a distance. You need some information. Tonight: Escape from all the chatter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Juggling your financial concerns with the needs and commitments of others keeps you busy and overwhelmed. It becomes obvious that there is a need to revamp your daily situation. Discussions lead to good ideas. Tonight: Don’t let your pride interfere. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HOROSCOPE ++++ You have your hands full. Others keep seeking you out. Stay on top of the situation, if possible. Establish limits as to what you will do. Tonight: Decide who, if anyone, you want to socialize with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ You might feel a bit tired and drawn handling a work or personal matter. Others keep asking you to pitch in or help. The end result is that you feel quite overwhelmed. Take a walk midday to clear your mind and help you prioritize. Tonight: Try vanishing early! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ Emphasis is on creativity, children, a risk and/or a loved one. You clearly want to go off and enjoy yourself, but responsibilities call. Meetings demand your attention. If you want to realize a certain goal, you cannot drop the ball now. Tonight: Time for some fun! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ You need to deal with a personal matter. All arrows point to that direction. You have professional or other responsibilities. If you relax and fine-tune your schedule, you will see a path. Recognize that for some of you, the personal issue must be resolved in order for you to flourish elsewhere. Tonight: Just go with the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++++ If you really must get a job done or focus on a matter, you might want to turn off your phone and not get caught up in the moment and what is going on. Eventually you will need to deal with all the activity, but at your own pace. Tonight: Catch up on everyone’s news. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You have your hands full juggling different concerns. Many of these issues surround finances; some have to do with other people. A partnership also might be involved. Don’t make a final decision yet, or else you could be very sorry. Tonight: Let someone else make the first move. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Today’s Full Moon spotlights you. Everyone likes the limelight, but with it comes many requests and responsibilities. Fortunately, this is a passage, not a daily given. Knowing that, honor what is happening. Enjoy the popularity. Tonight: Remember that you call the shots. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. �Page B8 • Sunday Times-Sentinel Gallia from Page B1 the fourth quarter. After a defensive stand forced a GAHS punt, the hosts — playing their first-ever home game at the newly-renovated C.H. Jones facility — took over possession with 3:34 remaining. The Rockets marched down to the Gallia Academy 31, but a 4th-and-5 pass from Jaylen Prater to Austin Craig was caught out of bounds — resulting in a loss of downs. Gallia Academy ran out the remaining 2:19 of regulation, allowing the guests to come away with the narrow two-point decision. The final outcome also allowed the guests to win their 10th straight game against Wellston. Offense was aplenty for the Blue and White in the first half, as the Devils owned a 10-2 edge in first downs at the half. GAHS produced 144 rushing yards and 14 passing yards in the opening two cantos, while Wellston mustered only 40 rushing yards and six passing yards. A large reason for the first half discrepancy was GAHS senior Brandon Taylor, who had 114 rushing yards and two touchdowns by the break on 15 carries. Taylor’s first score came from two yards out with 10:31 left in the second quarter, capping a 6play, 30-yard drive that allowed the Devils to take a 7-0 advantage. The GAHS defense forced a three-and-out on its ensuing possession, then the Devils needed just four plays to go 73 yards for their second score of the opening half. Taylor ran for a 63-yard gain on the first play of the drive, then Taylor plunged in from four yards out three plays later for a 14-0 edge with 6:41 left until the intermission. Gallia Academy was plus-two at the break and turned one of those giveaways into points. Ty Warnimont sacked Prater and forced a fumble at the WHS 30 late in the first quarter, which resulted in the opening score of the game. GAHS also ran 33 offensive plays in the first half, compared to just 15 for the hosts. The second half, however, turned into a defensive battle for the Blue Devils — who made several key stops down the stretch to secure the narrow decision. The Rockets outgained the visitors by a 200-111 margin in total yards during the final two periods. Prater returned the second half kickoff 31 yards to midfield, then carried the ball six consecutive times for 50 yards to get the Rockets on the scoreboard. Prater’s plunge from a yard out with 8:40 left in the third made it a 14-6 contest. Wellston’s next possession went eight plays and 35 yards, but Prater was held a yard short of the first down on a 4th-andseven situation — allowing GAHS to take over on downs at its own 29yard line. The Rockets regained possession near the end of the third quarter, then marched 80 yards in six plays to pull within 1412. Ernest Brown hauled in a 55-yard scoring pass from Prater with 7:34 left in regulation, making it a two-point game. WHS went for the two-point conversion, but Justin Bailey intercepted the PAT pass to keep the score at 14-12. Gallia Academy’s offense once again went stagnant on the ensuing possession, which later turned into a punt. Wellston took over on downs with 3:34 left, but the Devil defense made one final stand to wrap up the victory. Nick Clagg gained 28 yards and helped move the chains twice over the final 2:19 of regulation, which allowed the guests to run out the clock by twice taking a knee in victory formation. Gallia Academy finished the night with a 269-246 edge in total offense while also claiming a 16-11 advantage in first downs. The Devils were penalized 11 times for 115 yards, while Wellston was flagged three times for 25 yards. The guests also finished Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis the night plus-two in turnover differential. GAHS amassed 255 rushing yards on 52 attempts, led by Taylor with 151 yards on 26 rushes. Nick Clagg was next with 70 yards on 10 totes, while Cody Russell added 38 yards on six carries. Wade Jarrell finished the night 2-of-4 passing for 14 yards, with Bailey leading the wideouts with one catch for 11 yards. Taylor, who accounted for all 14 GAHS points, also had one catch for three yards. Wellston had 29 rushes for 119 yards and added another 127 yards through the air. Prater led the rushing attack with 66 yards on 13 attempts and also went 8-of-14 passing for 127 yards and a score. Brown led the Rocket wideouts with two catches for 70 yards, including one touchdown.

Special Section Sunday, September 11, 2011 Attack on normal seeming morning $1.50 • Vol. 45, No. 37 ‘Freedom Tower’ rising By Cris Ritchie Heartland News Alliance Ten years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, construction continues at the site where more than 2,600 people lost their lives in the worst strike on American soil in the nation’s history. In November 2001, as Americans across the country continued to mourn the many lives lost, then New York Governor George Pataki began the process of renewal with the establishment of a board to oversee the reconstruction of buildings lost at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan. Chief among them was 1 World Trade Center, formerly dubbed the “Freedom Tower.” Though several were initially considered, the final design for the Freedom Tower calls for the structure to reach 1,776 feet into the air. It will offer 2.6 million square feet of space for offices, restaurants and other venues. The exterior design of the building incorporates a glass panel facade with tapered corners. Construction began on the tower in April 2006, with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey taking over development of the project in the fall of that year. By December 2006, the first concrete was poured to prepare the foundation on a project that is expected to come with a final price tag of $3.1 billion. A completion date for the tower is By Cris Ritchie Heartland News Alliance It was a clear and seemingly normal Tuesday morning in America. The New York City buses and subway trains were running on schedule. President George W. Bush sat in a Florida classroom, visiting with elementary students. Todd Beamer, Sandy Bradshaw and 43 others boarded United Flight 93, bound for California. It was business as usual at the World Trade Center as well, where nearly 50,000 people were employed. All in all it was an uneventful September morning. And then the clock ticked 8:46 a.m. That’s when a hijacked American Airlines jet traveling nearly 500 miles per hour and loaded with 10,000 gallons of fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. America as it had been quickly and without warning emphatically changed. Eighteen minutes after the first plane struck, a second jetliner roared above the New York City skyline before it ominously turned toward the south tower. The resulting collision produced a massive fireball as the plane disappeared from view and glass and concrete rained down. Everyone on board was killed, as were several inside the building. Dark, thick smoke billowed from the twin towers. The nation was under attack, but the enemy wasn’t done yet. An hour after the first Boeing 767 crashed into the north tower, a third plane zoomed low over Washington, D.C. before it crashed See TOWER, Page 2 Point Pleasant Jr./Sr. High holds 9/11 ceremony See ATTACK, Page 2 By Anna Marie Hartenbach ahartenbach@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — “September 11th – we still remember that day,” said Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley. “September 11 will never and should never just be another day in the hearts and minds of the American people.” Handley addressed students and teachers at Point Pleasant Jr./Sr. High School and Mason County Career Center during a 9/11 ceremony in observance of the 10th anniversary of the attacks. The ceremony began as student officers carried in and raised the flag while hundreds of students and teachers stood somberly. Following various speakers, student volunteer first responders were recognized in correlation with the first responders who lost their lives in 2001. The demeanor of the ceremony was one of gratitude and respect as it closed with a moment of silence in remembrance of those who lost their lives that day. United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into the south tower at 9:03 a.m., 18 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower.

Source: The Associated Press for the tower is currently expected in late 2013, and by the beginning of August 2011, the building stood nearly 80 stories tall. According to the New York Times, construction is progressing at about one floor per week. The building itself will include environmentally friendly technologies such as renewable energy and a water recycling system, but there will also be several safety features incorporated based on information gleaned a decade ago. When two Boeing 767 jetliners crashed into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center on 9/11, it took less than two hours for the buildings to collapse. A fire in both buildings, resulting from the impact of the airplanes, is believed to have caused the interior structures of the towers to weaken considerably. The new tower will include fireproofing materials in its construction as well as structural redundancy to add extra elements of support. There will also be fireproof elevators, biological and chemical filters in the air supply system, and triple-wide stairways. A greater emphasis was also placed on the facilitation of emergency response. The interior architecture of 1 World Trade Center will include enhanced emergency com- munication cables and a dedicated stairway for firefighters. “These safety measures can be used in conjunction with enhanced elevators, housed in a protected central building core, which will serve every floor of the building,” according to information from Silverstein Properties, the tower’s original developer. At present, four other buildings are planned at the World Trace Center site, while a fifth tower, 7 World Trade Center, became the first to open to the public at the site where the original structures were destroyed on September 11. �September, 2011 September 11 Commemorative Edition Page 3 CEREMONY , from page 1 The Mason County Career Center holds an annual flag-raising on September 11, so this year, in honor of the 10th anniversary, they decided to do something bigger, said Marty Reed, a teacher at the career center and high school. “I don’t want them [the students] to forget because, as I tell my kids, if you don’t know history it will repeat itself. That’s what I want them to remember,” Reed said. Remembrance was the theme of the morning and despite the fact that she was only seven and in the second grade during the time of the attacks, now the 17year-old senior Marissa Snyder said it was a day that impacted her life. Snyder recalls the day as one that started out in innocence as she and her fellow classmates were in the middle of class, reading The Boxcar Children, but ended in panic and worry. “Ten minutes before, we had been playing with toys and reading books and then — to see this attack on a place we knew — it’s daunting for a small kid to understand and try to think your homeland isn’t safe,” Snyder said. “All of our life we’ve been told, ‘We’re in the US, we’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ve got big guns, they’ve got nothing on us. Then to see a plane attack, like one of our own planes, go and just demolish a building and to see the people screaming — that was really a marking point in my life because I’m a senior now, and I remember everything about that day.” As the daughter of a former sergeant in the Army Rangers, Snyder said to her, that day taught her the necessity of protecting our country. Not only were the attacks prevalent in her mind, but committed to memory the patriotism shown throughout the country following the events. “It was really exciting, almost, to see how much people cared about other people after that. After 9/11 you could tell there was a different sense about everything; people wanted to make sure that everyone was okay and that there was a feeling of safety again,” Snyder said. For other students like 16-year-old junior Anthony Linger, who was only six and in first grade at the time of the attacks, the events of that day inspired him to enlist in the military, he said. “I just really respect our country, and I’d give my life for it; I’m going to go join the military,” Linger said. “I just wish people would do the same thing. Even if you don’t want to join the military, you still should do your best to appreciate it and respect it, because people don’t.” Linger, who will join the military the summer following his junior year, will be in the Army National Guard until he completes his education. He hopes that other students learned the importance of pulling together to be a country during the ceremony. “We have to work as a giant team to make everything work right. If they don’t respect the country and they don’t respect themselves then we won’t have anything,” Linger said. Through the commemoration of the day, Vickie Workman, Assistant Principal at Point Pleasant Jr./Sr. High School and Mason County Career Center, said that despite the importance of remembering the events of that day, it’s also important to have faith in times of fear. “I have a strong faith, and I have a walk with Jesus Christ — you have to have that so you don’t run scared and you’re smart. You just put your faith and trust in him that everything’s going to be okay so that when something like this happens again, he’ll give you the grace to go through it again – that’s what I taught my children,” Workman said. “That was completely out of our control, there was nothing we could do to stop it and we just have to know that God is in control of all things.” Anna Marie Hartenbach/photos Students march in the crowd with the flag for the raising.

The committee in years past has been able to include in the program speakers of distinction, including Jessica Lynch, an Iraq War POW. Veterans Remembrance Day has also recognized local veterans who served, were POWs and veterans who gave their all, most recently in the Iraq War. The Post has been successful in obtaining the services of the Air Force Reserve with fly overs to help salute the occasion. This year the fly over will be conducted by the West Virginia Air National Guard Reserve Unit.

Bossard Memorial Library in Gallipolis is prepared to educate the public about the most catastrophic event of the 21st Century. “We feel it’s important to make sure that there is the awareness and not to forget where we come from,” Bossard Library Director Deborah Saunders said. “It’s important that we are aware of what has happened in our country and the current issues relating to 9/11. If you weren’t living then and you are now, that affects you in some way or another. It’s important that we, just out of respect and as Americans, that we are aware of what happened on 9/11.” In remembrance of the event, the library staff has compiled a display near the entrance to the facility in an attempt to help educate the public — especially the youth — about the events of 9/11. “One of the reasons we wanted to do the display that we have up front, and the reasons we wanted it to be at the forefront when you first walk in the library during September, was so those people who didn’t live through that time period will be exposed to that,” Saunders said. The display is populated by works that patrons are encouraged to check out and, according to Saunders, many other books in the library’s growing collection of 9/11 materials are available for check out. These works include: 9/11: Stories of Courage, Heroism and Generosity, A History of the World Since 9/11, 9/11: The World Speaks, 9/11: What a Difference a Day Makes: Ten Years Later, and biographies such as Let’s roll!: Ordinary people, extraordinary courage. The library’s reference department is always at hand to help patrons locate information relating to 9/11 and can guide patrons through reference materials including the 9/11 commission report. In addition, library patrons can remotely access various databases including Salem History, for historical events relating to 9/11, as well as the NewsBank database, to view news articles relating to the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. Saunders further reported that she is hopeful that patrons will also take advantage of the library’s collection of audiobooks and, especially for the younger generation, DVDs. “I think it is important, even though I, as a librarian, I prefer the written word on things like this, sometimes I think it is important to reach generations now, not only through showing them through books and databases, but also to actually allow them to see the news accounts of what happened that day, to see what we saw if you didn’t live through that time period,” Saunders said. “For today’s youth that were too young or maybe are just unaware, we have DVDs that show the news coverage and the footage of what actually happened that day. Granted, some are difficult to watch but, at the same time, if we are really going to give them an idea of what happened — if they are of the age that they can handle that — I think it is good for them to see what we saw.” For those children too young or unable to handle video footage, Saunders reported that the library maintains a collection of juvenile literature on the Stephanie Filson/photos Bossard Library Director Debbie Saunders browses books currently on display at the library in honor of the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Saunders encourages patrons to not only check out books in the display, but also to look through the libraryʼs large collection of 9/11 materials, including biographies, juvenile literature, DVDs and audiobooks. Patrons can also request titles currently not owned by the library. subject. Additionally, Saunders encourages the library’s patrons to request books and other 9/11 related materials not currently in the library’s collection. “Some people like the more personal side, some like the fact side, some like footage, so we really have a little bit of all of that,” Saunders said. “If we don’t have what they are looking for we will make every attempt to try to get that for them. That’s what we’re here for. We’re a community resource.” This September 11, we reflect on a day that forever changed our lives and our nation’s history. Before September 11, 2001, many Americans felt sheltered from the reality of terrorism, never imagining such a devastating attack could take place on our soil. The tragic events of September 11 have made us more alert and cautious in our daily lives, and more protective of the precious freedoms that define our country. Though six years have passed, we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001 as if it were yesterday, and we continue to hold the heroes and victims close to our hearts. Please join us today in honoring the men and women who so bravely responded to the call of duty on the morning of September 11, as well as the victims who perished and their families.
