At its regular meeting, council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Michael Gerlach to complete the paperwork necessary for the project to progress. Extending water lines along Powell Street and Leading Creek Road and into the Hobson community will cost an estimated $802,000, according to Fiscal Officer Susan Baker. The village has received approval of 40-percent loan forgiveness through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s loan program, and has applied for additional grant funding from the Community Development Block Grant program for the balance of the project’s cost, Baker said. It has been over 20 years since Hobson was annexed into the village proper, and when that took place, residents were promised water service. It was never delivered, but council now plans to make it happen. Work will likely begin in early 2012. Council authorized Gerlach to execute the necessary documents for financing, and to enter into a contract with Choice One Engineering for the remainder of the engineering work to be performed with the project. Gerlach said the project is somewhat complicated from an engineering and construction standpoint, because it will be necessary to bore under both Leading Creek and the railroad line. The new waterline construct will affect 17 households. Eight of them already have village water service but the lines are considered Playing soldier… undersized, and the households have no fire protection. The remaining nine do not have village water and some wells have been found to have bacterial contamination. The village also hopes the project will provide an opportunity for economic development in the area. In other business, council held the first reading on a series of ordinances to address the depths of private swimming pools and hot tubs. Gerlach said the changes are necessary because of the growing prevelance of larger, inflatable swimming pools, which, along with hot tubs and spas, require a sixfoot fence. Council approved a transfer of $500 from a Neighborhood Stablization grant received several years ago into the general fund, because the project was completed under the grant and money remained. She said she had spoken to a state examiner who recommended the council action, because the balance remaining is small. The transfer will be the start of a reserve the village hopes to build to use for demolition of con- demned buildings when the owners are unable or unwilling to pay for the work. Council took action to earmark building permit fees to build the fund as well. Baker said the village collects approximately $3,000 a year in those fees, and that property owners are required to repay any money the village pays up front as part of their property taxes. Gerlach reminded residents that the village provides free brush pickup at the curbside, but said arrangements must be made in advance through the water office. Some residents have complained that their neighbors’ brush piles are being collected while theirs are not, and Gerlach said that work is scheduled around street department projects and must be done so in advance. Council also approved a contract for health insurance for village employees with minor changes in coverage. Also attending were President Rae Moore and council members Sandy Brown, Julia Houston, Craig Wehrung, Shawn Rice and Emerson Heighton. Asbestos removal next step in hospital site redevelopment By Brian Reed BReed@mydailysentinel.com The Civil War soldier’s monument next to the Meigs County Courthouse inspired a group of boys to play soldier. A Halloween pail became a helmet for one young man, who was returning fire at an imaginary enemy. His friend took a pause from battle, and sat at the base of the 150-year old statue, taking in the action from the sideline. Brian Reed/photos “Safe and necessary” says speaker on oil and gas drilling By Charlene Hoeflich hoeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — “Safe and necessary” was how Rhonda Reda, executive director of the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program, described drilling issues when she spoke recently at a meeting of the Meigs County Tea Party at the Mulberry Community Center. Having worked 25 years in the oil and gas business, Reda shared extensive facts about the industry, which she said is now under attack. Last year, for instance, the industry received a 50 percent tax increase, although a 700 per cent increase was proposed, she said. She saw business owners “laying off their own family members. It’s absolutely ridiculous.” Far from opposing gas and oil drilling, Reda said that every community that “consumes should produce.” The United States “consumes 20 million barrels of crude oil per day,” she said. The speaker described a gas- and oildrilling procedure called hydraulic fracturing. She said the process involves placing tiny grains of sand and liquids into a rock formation to open fractures in the rock and allow gas to flow. This process usually happens once in the life of a well. Hydraulic fracturing, she said, got its start in 1953, when it replaced the use of dynamite to break up a rock bed and let the gas gush. The process is used worldwide. She noted that multiple taxpayer-funded studies on hydraulic fracturing have been done, and no problems have been found. “To say ban fracking really means to say ‘ban oil and gas’,” she concluded. Also speaking at that meeting was Glenn Newman, president of the Marietta 9-12 Project, who shared concerns about the rate increases requested by American Electric Power. He urged people to call the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and say “no” to an increase. The PUCO regulates providers of all kinds of utility services, he noted referring to the website, and was created to assure Ohioans adequate, safe, and reliable public utility services at a fair price. Newman said the increase is scheduled to go into effect in January. “We’re at the eleventh hour, and it will be over,” he commented. POMEROY — Removal of asbestos will be the next step as county commissioners redevelop the site of Veterans Memorial Hospital for future use. County Commissioner Tim Ihle said Monday the commissioners plan to proceed with plans for the eventual demolition of the 50 year-old hospital building on East Memorial Drive, but no specific time schedule has been established. The building has been vacant for 10 years, and has suffered the damage of time and neglect. Commissioners feel the building is no longer in a condition to be renovated. A leaky roof has caused structural damage, and vandals have taken their share from it. A public auction Saturday grossed around $11,000 for the county’s general fund. The sale of building materials salvaged from the hospital, office furniture and kitchen equipment was the first step in preparing the building for demolition. Much of the building’s content was distributed to villages and public agencies; the remainder was purchased by the general public. Ihle said an evaluation of the building’s asbestos content must now be completed, and arrangements must be made for its removal. He noted that the Ohio Department of Corrections performs this type of work using inmates from the state’s prison system, but he said commissioners have not yet made a determination of how the work completed. Ihle said there are also more items in the hospital building to be salvaged, but said another sale is unlikely. Specific plans for the site have not been made, though commissioners have indicated there are a number of possible uses for the land. Ihle said at least one local health care provider has expressed interest in the past in expanding on the site. It could also be used by the county for some purpose, he said. The building was vacated in 2001 by Consolidated Health Systems, the parent company of Holzer Medical Center, who had taken over the hospital’s operation from a county-appointed board of trustees. Later efforts to attract an operator for the hospital, or another health care organization to operate services there, were unsuccessful. Commissioners are now hoping to continue development of a health care campus on land the Community Improvement Corporation owns at the junction of Ohio 833 and U.S. 33 near Rocksprings. Family Healthcare, Inc., a non-profit family health practice, is now in the process of building an outpatient medical facility there. HUD awards Ohio $2.5 million for job training High: 71 Low: 52 Meigs gets $7,365 Index By Charlene Hoeflich hoeflich@mydailysentinel.com 1 SECTION — 10 PAGES POMEROY — Of the $2.5 million given to Ohio by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help low income families receive job training and employment, the Meigs County © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Housing Authority received $7,365. The plan, according to a HUD release, is to help public housing agencies retain or hire service coordinators to work directly with families who participate in HUD’S Classifieds Comics Editorials Sports www.mydailysentinel.com A6-7 A5 A4 A7-8 Housing Choice Voucher program. The coordinators will assist these voucher recipients to find employment resources and job training opportunities to put them on a path toward self-sufficiency. “In today’s economy, it’s never been more critical to help families obtain the skills that lead to jobs,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. “With HUD’s help, these housing agencies will be able to assist families in finding employment, increasing their earning potential and putting them on a path to self sufficiency.” Currently Meigs County’s unemployment rate stands at 14.3 percent. According to the HUD plan, the money going to the counties is to be used to hire coordinators. The responsibility of the coordinators is to “link adults in the HCV program with welfare agencies, schools, businesses and other local partners to develop the skills and experience to enable them to obtain jobs that pay a living wage.” The local organizations typically provide participating individuals job training, childcare, counseling, transportation, job placement and home ownership counseling. Participants in the HCV-FSS program sign a contract that requires the head of the household will get a job and the family will no longer receive welfare assistance at the end of the five-year term. As the family’s income rises, a portion of that increased income is deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account. If the family completes its FSS contract, the family receives the escrow funds that it can use for any purpose, including a down payment on a home, paying educational expenses, starting a business or paying back debts. Other southeastern Ohio counties receiving funding were Athens, $41,276; Marietta $44,222; Jackson $40,640; Morgan, $21,341; and Vinton, 38,728. �The Daily Sentinel Ask Dr. Brothers By The Bend Kids use sports to manage anger Dear Dr. Brothers: I just had my first child, and my aunt keeps encouraging me to read to her as much as I can. I barely have time to think, much less read stories to my baby, who can’t understand even the simplest book. I know that starting education early is helpful for kids, but it seems like overkill before they can even talk. Is there really any point to reading to babies when they don’t understand? — V.H. Dear V.H.: You may be underestimating not only your baby’s ability to learn and understand, but your own ability to teach your daughter simply with your actions. What parents do with their kids before they learn to talk actually can have even more of an effect on whether they’re ready when they enter formal schooling than their social background does. Kids who are taken to the library or own many books as 2-yearolds score higher on tests when they enter elementary school. So, no, they’re not browsing the stacks for the latest bestseller, but you’re teaching them that books and learning are valued in your family. Your daughter is still quite young, but this gives you a chance to prepare the best possible early-childhood education for her to be ready for school when it comes time. Preschool can be particularly beneficial when she reaches the right age. But even now, exposing her to a wide range of activities will set her up for success. In addition, reading together — even if it’s something (appropriate) you’d be reading anyway, not necessarily a kids’ book — can promote bonding and help her learn vocabulary and speech. She’ll learn how to express herself and communicate earlier, and this will guard against any problems integrating into the school environment later. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I have two teenage boys, and I’m nervous about them playing sports. I’m afraid they’re going to get hurt or get into trouble. They both insist that not only do they love playing, but it helps them relax and get out their anger and frustration in a useful and perfectly legal way. To me, this sounds a bit like an excuse that their coaches told them to sell me on, but I can’t be sure. Does playing sports really help kids get out their aggression and anger in a positive way? — D.J. Dear D.J.: While there certainly are things to worry about when your kids play sports, the benefits surely outweigh the harm. First, you have to take into account the physical benefits from fitness and learning to live a healthy lifestyle. But there also are cognitive, emotional and behavioral benefits for kids who play sports, as your sons can well attest to. Being part of a team and playing sports can help kids improve selfcontrol and discipline, as well as decrease their overall feelings of anger and aggression. Not only does playing sports require concentration and focus, but regular training actually can decrease the negative emotions that can lead to outbursts and misbehavior. Interestingly for your kids, boys have a much stronger positive response to playing sports than girls do. There is little change in girls’ feelings of aggression after playing sports, but that’s likely because they generally don’t have as many problems with anger management in their teen years as boys do. The main thing is finding some activity that your kids are passionate about that is also productive and requires focus and commitment. A strong connection with any kind of activity — whether sports or painting or music — can give kids a sense of purpose that decreases the amount of misbehavior you’ll see from them.

Charlene Hoeflich/photo Ohio Briefs Federal grant allows Ohio cities to rehire police COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A $16 million federal grant allows eight Ohio police departments to rehire officers laid off due to budget cuts. The grant from the U.S. Department of Justice allows 67 laid-off Ohio police officers to resume their jobs for at least three years. The money will cover full salary and benefits for the rehired officers. The biggest winners in Ohio are Cincinnati and Cleveland which received $6.8 million and $5.8 million respectively to recall 25 police officers each. Middletown received $1 million to hire back four officers, while the city of Lima and Lorain and Ashtabula Counties were all awarded around $400,000 to hire back two officers apiece. Cleveland Public Safety Director Martin L. Flask says the returning officers are all well-trained and ready to resume duty. Ohioan forms group attacking Kentucky’s governor FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — An Ohio attorney has gotten involved in the Kentucky governor’s race through a political committee that’s bashing the incumbent Democrat and promoting his Republican challenger. Jim Rutledge, chairman of the political committee Restoring America, filed paperwork last week with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance to enable the group to make independent political expenditures in Kentucky. Rutledge is from Columbus, Ohio. In a series of ads, the group blames Gov. Steve Beshear for more than 90,000 lost jobs since he took office and blames him for long rides on school buses for Louisville students. One says Beshear’s GOP challenger, state Senate President David Williams, is ready to lead Kentucky out of the shadows. At least two Kentucky TV stations have declined to run the attack ads. Rutledge declined to comment. Ohio chief justice backs lifting judge age limit COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s chief justice is urging voters this fall to support raising the mandatory retirement age for judges from 70 to 75. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor tells The Associated Press she endorsed Issue 1 on Wednesday because she views judicial age restrictions as discriminatory. She says someone can run for governor at 100, or for a House or Senate seat at 93 — writing laws they’re deemed too old to interpret. O’Connor, who is 60, says mechanisms are in place to deal with judges who have “aged out of their ability to do the job.” They can be disbarred or have their license suspended. Those with addiction or mental health issues can receive intervention. O’Connor can also recuse a judge from a case for performance history at an attorney’s request. Ohio EPA: algae treatment successful in lake COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A toxic algae treatment in Ohio’s largest inland lake over the summer was successful, the state’s Environmental Protection Agency director says. The agency has released a report that says the 3.3 million gallons of the chemical alum dropped into Grand Lake St. Marys was more successful than anticipated, killing 56 percent of phosphorous in the treated area. Phosphorous feeds the blue-green toxic algae, which produces a nerve toxin that can sicken humans and kill pets and animals. Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally calls the results “absolutely exciting,” saying the lake was able to stay open all summer because of the treatment. The toxic algae have caused lake closures and advisories against swimming and boating in the past, leading to decreased tourism at the lake, which sits between Dayton and Toledo. Ohio inmates: execution process unconstitutional COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nine condemned Ohio inmates are once again asking a federal judge to find the state’s rules for carrying out executions unconstitutional. Attorneys for the death row prisoners say the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction continues to use an arbitrary process with undertrained executioners and potentially cruel and unusual injection methods. The prisoners argued in a 102-page court filing Wednesday that the process still gives the state too much discretion to abandon its rules at the last-minute during an execution. U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost halted an execution in July after agreeing that the process is haphazard. He has yet to rule on the state’s updated procedures meant to address his concerns. Gov. John Kasich has postponed two executions and granted mercy to a third inmate since Frost’s ruling. Sinkholes near Ohio mine sites prompt monitoring GYPSUM, Ohio (AP) — Sinkholes have popped up for years near longabandoned gypsum mines near Lake Erie, including a couple that run under a busy highway, and now the state plans to fill in some of the tunnels before the holes reach the road. Fences have been put up around the depressions, which resemble bomb craters. State highway officials said that within a few days crews will install cables carrying an electronic signal to monitor for shifts in the ground beneath parts of state Route 2. The sinkholes are likely related to the gypsum mines carved out in the 1950s and ’60s and are now mostly flooded, said Todd Audet, a deputy director with the Ohio Department of Transportation. “We just haven’t had any holes open up under our road yet,” he told The Blade newspaper in Toledo. “We’re not taking any chances with that happening.” The sinkholes are several feet wide. The ones closest to the highway are still at least several hundred feet away from the road, said Bill St. Leger, Ohio plant manager for U.S. Gypsum Corp. The company mined the area for gypsum rock, used in plaster and drywall, more than 50 years ago and later sold some of it to the state for the highway. The abandoned gypsum mine in northern Ohio beneath Route 2 is very deep and stable, making it unlikely that a sinkhole would develop in the road, St. Leger said. The most recent hole opened up after a contractor drilled a hole and failed to cap it properly, he said. The highway is a busy four-lane route that sees a lot of traffic in the summertime, carrying traffic between Port Clinton and Sandusky to the Lake Erie islands and Cedar Point amusement park. It’s also an alternate route for truckers who want to avoid tolls on the Ohio Turnpike. Collapsing coal mines have been a problem for years in eastern and southeastern Ohio — the state has estimated more than 6,000 have been abandoned. In 1995, an abandoned mine caused a giant sinkhole on Interstate 70 near Cambridge that closed the highway for three months. Water that has filled the abandoned gypsum mines in northern Ohio since they were shut down has dissolved some of the underground gypsum rock, which likely caused depressions and sinkholes. Filling in part of the mine won’t cause problems the company because it no longer mines in that area, St. Leger said. Work on that part of the project is expected to start by the end of the year, and could force some lane closings. �Thursday, September 29, 2011 Cantaloupe outbreak is deadliest in a decade WASHINGTON (AP) — Health officials say as many as 16 people have died from possible listeria illnesses traced to Colorado cantaloupes, the deadliest food outbreak in more than a decade. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that 72 illnesses, including 13 deaths, are linked to the tainted fruit. State and local officials say they are investigating three additional deaths that may be connected. The death toll released by the CDC Tuesday — including newly confirmed deaths in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas — surpassed the number of deaths linked to an outbreak of salmonella in peanuts almost three years ago. Nine people died in that outbreak. The CDC said Tuesday that they have confirmed two deaths in Texas and one death each in in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Last week the CDC reported two deaths in Colorado, four deaths in New Mexico, one in Oklahoma and one in Maryland. New Mexico officials said Tuesday they are investigating a fifth death, while health authorities in Kansas and Wyoming said they too are investigating additional deaths possibly linked to the tainted fruit. Listeria is more deadly than well-known pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, though those outbreaks generally cause many more illnesses. Twenty-one people died in an outbreak of listeria poisoning in 1998 traced to contaminated hot dogs and possibly deli meats made by Bil Mar Foods, a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corp. Another large listeria outbreak in 1985 killed 52 people and was linked to Mexicanstyle soft cheese. Listeria generally only sickens the elderly, pregnant women and others with compromised immune systems. The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78 and that one in five who contract the disease can die. Dr. Robert Tauxe of the CDC says the number of illnesses and deaths will probably grow in coming weeks because the symptoms of listeria don’t always show up The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 www.mydailysentinel.com right away. It can take four weeks or more for a person to fall ill after eating food contaminated with listeria. “That long incubation period is a real problem,” Tauxe said. “People who ate a contaminated food two weeks ago or even a week ago could still be falling sick weeks later.” CDC reported the 72 illnesses and deaths in 18 states. Cases of listeria were reported in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The most illnesses were reported in Colorado, which has seen 15 sickened. Fourteen illnesses were reported in Texas, 10 in New Mexico and eight in Oklahoma. The outbreak has been traced to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., which recalled the tainted cantaloupes earlier this month. The Food and Drug Administration said state health officials had found listeria in cantaloupes taken from grocery stores in the state and from a victim’s home that were grown at Jensen Farms. Matching strains of the disease were found on equipment and cantaloupe samples at Jensen Farms’ packing facility in Granada, Colo. FDA, which investigates the cause of foodborne outbreaks, has not released any additional details on how the contamination may have happened. The agency says its investigation is ongoing. The Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes from Jensen Farms were shipped from July 29 through Sept. 10 to Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. The recalled cantaloupe may be labeled “Colorado Grown,” ”Distributed by Frontera Produce,” ”Jensenfarms.com” or “Sweet Rocky Fords.” Not all of the recalled cantaloupes are labeled with a sticker, the FDA said. Unlike many pathogens, listeria bacteria can grow at room temperatures and even refrigerator temperatures. The FDA and CDC recommend anyone who may have one of the contaminated cantaloupes throw it out immediately and clean and sanitize any surfaces it may have touched. About 800 cases of listeria are found in the United States each year, according to CDC, and there usually are three or four outbreaks. Most of these are traced to deli meat and soft cheeses, where listeria is most common. Produce has rarely been the culprit, but federal investigators say they have seen more produce-related listeria illnesses in the past two years. It was found in sprouts in 2009 and celery in 2010. While most healthy adults can consume listeria with no ill effects, it can kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is also dangerous to pregnant women because it easily passes through to the fetus. Dr. Tauxe of the CDC said the type of listeria linked to the cantaloupes is not one that is commonly associated with pregnancyassociated illnesses, however. State and federal health authorities have not definitively linked any miscarriages, stillbirths or infant illnesses to the current outbreak. Symptoms of listeria include fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms. Victims often become incapacitated and unable to speak. Debbie Frederick said her mother knew something was wrong when her father, 87-year-old William Thomas Beach, collapsed at his home in Mustang, Okla. and couldn’t get up. He died a few days later, on Sept. 1. The family later learned his death was linked to eating the cantaloupe and sued Jensen Farms. “First you just kind of go into shock,” said Frederick. “Then it settles in that he would still be alive if this hadn’t happened. It’s a life, for what?” Obituaries Virginia B. Heilman Virginia B. Heilman passed away Monday, 26 September 2011, in the Canton Christian Home at the age of 97.

The athletic shoe and clothing company will pay $25 million in customer refunds to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission that it falsely advertised that its “toning” shoes could measurably strengthen the muscles in the legs, thighs and buttocks. As part of the settlement, Reebok also is barred from making some of these claims without scientific evidence. “Settling does not mean we agree with the FTC’s allegations,” Dan Sarro, a Reebok spokesman, said in a statement Wednesday. “We do not. We have received overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback from thousands of EasyTone customers.” It’s the latest controversy surrounding so-called toning shoes, which are designed with a rounded or otherwise unstable sole. Shoemakers say the shoes force wearers to use more muscle to maintain balance and consumers clamored for them, turning toning shoes into a $1.1 billion market in just a few years. Companies such as Reebok, New Balance and Skechers have faced lawsuits over their advertising claims. But the FTC settlement, announced Wednesday, is the first time the government has stepped in. Reebok International Ltd. makes a range of toning products, including its RunTone running shoes, EasyTone walking shoes and flip flops and some clothing. The company, which is owned by Adidas AG, said that its toning shoes were one of its most popular product launches ever when they debuted in 2009. The company marketed them heavily with ads featuring women in short shorts and with shapely bottoms; one ad even said the shoes would “make your boobs jealous”.

Still behind bars, the American is a changed woman, family and friends say — more mature, more wary of people around her, increasingly anxious as an appeals court verdict approaches. The transformation they describe is seen on the outside. Gone are the Beatles t-shirt, the cocky demeanor, the irreverent smile. Now 24, Knox is conservatively dressed, thinner, clearly worn out — although detractors say she’s merely putting on an act. “When she walked in for the (2009) verdict she was actually happy,” says her friend Madison Paxton, “like she thought she was going to be on a plane home in 12 hours, and was running to the courtroom. She wasn’t even remotely prepared for what she heard.” “This time you see it manifest in her body and the way she physically responds to it — she is … terrified,” Paxton told The Associated Press, sipping an iced cappuccino in a bar in Perugia, a stone’s throw from the courthouse. Knox was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher, a British student in Perugia, and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who was Knox’s boyfriend at the time of the crime, was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 25 years. Sollecito has also appealed. One person unconvinced by Knox’s new image is the lawyer of a man she unjustly accused in the early stages of the investigation. Carlo Pacelli told the appeals court this week that Knox has a “talent for lying” and is an “experienced actress.” Over the course of two hours, Pacelli called Knox a “demonic, satanic, diabolical she-devil,” and “spellcasting witch, a virtuoso of deceit.” Pacelli’s client, Diya “Patrick” Lumumba, was unjustly accused by Knox of being the murderer and was briefly jailed as a result of that claim. Knox maintains police pressure led her to accuse Lumumba, a Congolese national in whose bar in Perugia she occasionally worked. Knox will know her fate within a week: She hopes to be freed after four years in jail, her accusers are asking the court to stiffen her penalty to life in prison. The appeals court may issue a decision as soon as Saturday, capping a nine-month trial where Knox has appeared at times tense, wornout and tearful. Paxton says she can’t eat or sleep properly as the date of the verdict approaches. When she entered the spotlight in 2007, with her fair hair, blue eyes and photogenic looks, Knox immediately fascinated audiences. Some called her an “angel face” devil, others saw a naive innocent caught in a catastrophic judicial mistake. British tabloids took to calling her “Foxy Knoxy” — an old nickname that didn’t help her image even as her family insisted it stemmed from her skillful moves on the football pitch. Throughout the case, depending on whom you asked, she was a femme fatale or a naive, lovestruck girl. Recently a defense lawyer likened her to Jessica Rabbit — not bad, just drawn that way. With her life dissected in countless articles, books and even some movies, Paxton says, Knox “has had to learn how to not rely so much of what other people say about her” — an experience that has made her stronger and at peace with herself. During the first trial, she would smile to the court, and keep a breezy, even flippant behavior throughout hearings that inevitably discussed a gruesome murder. In her first public statement to the court, Knox took on a casual, almost amused tone in discussing the presence of a sex toy — a pink rabbit-shaped vibrator — in the Perugia house she shared with the victim. “It was a joke,” she said then, gesturing with her hands to indicate the size of the toy. Even as her family maintained she was always respectful and aware of the seriousness of the charges against her, Knox’s behavior didn’t help her cause in the eyes of Italian public opinion. Now, she looks down as she enters the court. In recent hearings she held her hands The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

She has abandoned the “All You Need is Love” T-shirt she once wore in court for Valentine’s Day for satin blouses and black trousers. Early into the appeals trial, she gave her longest, more passionate defense to date, saying with tears in her eyes she hadn’t killed Kercher, who was a friend she had been honored to meet. Skeptics argue that this time around, she is being carefully coached to come across as sober and humble. “Some investigators do believe that she has been told about the negative publicity and headlines which initially her relaxed manner in court prompted,” said John Follain, author of the forthcoming book “Death in Perugia.” “They have noted this change in behavior which they believe is part of her defense strategy to portray her as a more settled, more mature young woman. Of course anybody would change in four years, especially four years in prison,” said Follain, who has covered the case for the past four years. Knox still commands attention. Flashlights and cameras are all for her as she enters the courtroom, with reporters trying to get a glimpse of her past the wall of cameramen. Those who are close to her say the changes go deeper than just appearances. “She’s been in prison for one sixth of her life,” her father Curt Knox noted in a recent interview. “She’s obviously matured very much in prison.” One main change, her father says, is that Knox has lost what he said was her ability to trust people. “No matter who you were, no matter how you looked she always thought there was good in you,” her Curt Knox said. Now she “really does not have that same trust level.” In prison, Knox spends her time reading, doing work with fellow inmates, studying German and creative writing, says Paxton, a friend from the University of Washington who has for a year moved to Perugia and visits Knox in prison six times a month. Reports describe her as a model prisoner. Knox keeps in touch with Sollecito through letters to comfort each other, but the two are no longer romantically involved. On Sept. 21 at 7 p.m., Troy Anthony Davis was scheduled to die. I was reporting live from outside Georgia’s death row in Jackson, awaiting news about whether the Supreme Court would spare his life. Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of off-duty Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989. Seven of the nine nonpolice witnesses later recanted or changed their testimony, some alleging police intimidation for their original false statements. One who did not recant was the man who many have named as the actual killer. No physical evidence linked Davis to the shooting. Davis, one of more than 3,200 prisoners on death row in the U.S., had faced three prior execution dates. With each one, global awareness grew. Amnesty International took up his case, as did the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Calls for clemency came from Pope Benedict XVI, former FBI Director William Sessions and former Republican Georgia Congressman Bob Barr. The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles, in granting a stay of execution in 2007, wrote that it “will not allow an execution to proceed in this state unless … there is no doubt as to the guilt of the accused.” But it is just that doubt that has galvanized so much global outrage over this case. As we waited, the crowd swelled around the prison, with signs saying “Too Much Doubt” and “I Am Troy Davis.” Vigils were being held around the world, in places like Iceland, England, France and Germany. Earlier in the day, prison authorities handed us a thin press kit. At 3 p.m., it said, Davis would be given a “routine physical.” Routine? Physical? At a local church down the road, Edward DuBose, the president of Georgia’s NAACP chapter, spoke, along with human-rights leaders, clergy and family members who had just left Davis. DuBose questioned the physical, “so- 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.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Amy Goodman that they could make sure he’s physically fit, so that they can strap him down, so that they could put the murder juice in his arm? Make no mistake: They call it an execution. We call it murder.” Davis had turned down a special meal. The press kit described the standard fare Davis would be offered: “grilled cheeseburgers, oven-browned potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, cookies and grape beverage.” It also listed the lethal cocktail that would follow: “Pentobarbital. Pancuronium bromide. Potassium chloride. Ativan (sedative).” The pentobarbital anesthetizes, the pancuronium bromide paralyzes, and the potassium chloride stops the heart. Davis refused the sedative, and the last supper. By 7 p.m., the U.S. Supreme Court was reportedly reviewing Davis’ plea for a stay. The case was referred to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who hails from Pin Point, Ga., a community founded by freed slaves that is near Savannah, where Davis had lived. The chorus for clemency grew louder. Allen Ault, a former warden of Georgia’s death-row prison who oversaw five executions there, sent a letter to Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, co-signed by five other retired wardens or directors of state prisons. They wrote: “While most of the prisoners whose executions we participated in accepted responsibility for the crimes for which they were punished, some of us have also executed prisoners who maintained their innocence until the end. It is those cases that are most haunting to an executioner.” The Supreme Court denied the plea. Davis’ execution began at 10:53 p.m. A prison spokesperson delivered the news to the reporters outside: time of death, 11:08 p.m. The eyewitnesses to the execution stepped out. According to an Associated Press reporter who was there, these were Troy Davis’ final words: “I’d like to address the MacPhail family. Let you know, despite the situation you are in, I’m not the one who personally killed your son, your father, your brother. I am innocent. The incident that happened that night is not my fault. I did not have a gun. All I can ask … is that you look deeper into this case so that you really can finally see the truth. I ask my family and friends to continue to fight this fight. For those about to take my life, God have mercy on your souls. And may God bless your souls.” The state of Georgia took Davis’ body to Atlanta for an autopsy, charging his family for the transportation. On Troy Davis’ death certificate, the cause of death is listed simply as “homicide.” As I stood on the grounds of the prison, just after Troy Davis was executed, the Department of Corrections threatened to pull the plug on our broadcast. The show was over. I was reminded what Gandhi reportedly answered when asked what he thought of Western civilization: “I think it would be a good idea.” *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 900 stations in North America.

Stop and ask yourself what that is about. Is it habit, or is it insecurity? Rebuild your sense of well-being and work on a more authentic presentation. Go out more often and volunteer for community projects. If you are single, you easily could meet someone through an interest or through a commitment. One or more suitors could emerge. Be careful not to be manipulative or passive-aggressive. Be real. If you are attached, have your mate point out when you are being possessive. The two of you can work this issue through if you remain open. Choose activities and make the choice of perhaps a little self-help to rebuild your security. Some of you might opt for some personal work with a therapist. It never hurts to address feelings that seem difficult. Internalizing or acting out can only lead to problems. SCORPIO might understand more about finances than you think.

Here’s two examples of why it’s not easy keeping up with the first downs in Ohio high school football. Ada outlasted Bluffton 48-44 in a Northwest Conference shootout in which the two teams combined for over 1,100 yards totals offense. Ada’s Connor Baker completed 19 of 30 passes for 349 yards and two TDs. He also rushed for 115 yards and two TDs and teammate Kellen Decker rushed for 133 yards and three scores. Bluffton’s Hunter Joseph hit on 28 of 46 passes for 435 yards and six TDs, with Matt Gillette catching six passes for 114 yards and two TDs and R.J. Stratton pulling in seven passes for 137 yards and three scores. Also, Clayton Northmont and Lebanon combined for 863 total yards as the Thunderbolts prevailed, 40-33. Northmont’s Gaven Kenerly rushed for 140 yards and Joel Anderson’s last-minute interception sealed the victory for the T-Bolts. MORE PAYTON THAN PEYTON: St. Marys Memorial’s D.J. Manning rushed for 333 yards and four TDs as the Roughriders won the Battle of Grand Lake, 32-20 over Celina. It was Manning’s second 300-yard rushing game of the season and holds the top two spots in the school’s record book for most rushing yards in a game, having rushed for 366 yards in the season opener at Sidney. RUSH WEEK: Middletown Madison’s Jeff Clemons ran 29 times for 256 yards and a TD in a 35-19 loss to West Milton Milton-Union; Galion’s David Nay rushed for 241 yards and 2 TDs on 23 carries, and also caught three passes for 75 yards and a score, in a 37-7 win over Bucyrus; and Edon’s Shannon Geren ran for 209 yards and three TDs and Keegan Long threw for four TDs in a 64-34 win over Danbury Lakeside. AIR RAID: Middletown Fenwick’s Austin Gearing threw six TD passes and ran for another score in a 63-20 win over Purcell Marian; Archbold’s Evan Wyse threw four TD passes in a 51-0 win over Swanton; New Washington Buckeye Central’s Tyler Erwin set a school record throwing for 400 yards (exactly) in a 41-6 win over Mount Blanchard Riverdale, tossing five TD passes; Edgerton’s Brody Flegal threw for four TDs and had a TD reception in a 40-14 win over Haviland Wayne Trace; Hicksville’s Justin Miller threw four TD passes in a 68-0 win over Antwerp; Carey’s Brandon Distel intercepted three passes (giving him five in the last two games) and caught a TD pass in the Blue Devils’ 34-21 win over Tiffin Calvert; and Pandora-Gilboa’s Levi Hovest caught 13 passes for 146 yards and three TDs in a 40-23 win over Dola Hardin Northern. STREAK BUSTERS: Holgate QB Ryan Aelker rushed for 141 yards and four TDs, threw two scoring passes and scored the game-winning twopoint conversion in a 42-41 victory over Defiance Ayersville that ended a 19-game losing skid; unbeaten Wapakoneta broke a 10-game losing streak at Defiance with a 21-7 victory, its first over the Bulldogs since 1989, as Connor Pickens ran for 228 yards; Fostoria honored members of its 1996 state championship team and then snapped a 19-game losing streak with a 13-9 win over Otsego; and Trotwood-Madison (5-0) snapped a three-game losing streak to Springfield, 37-13 behind Ashton Jackson’s 242 rushing yards. HOLMES SWEET HOLMES: Millersburg West Holmes had never beaten Ashland, and was 1-9 last season compared to the Arrows’ 10-3 record. On top of all that history, West Holmes trailed Ashland 21-0 and 31-7. Then something happened. The Knights (4-1) ended up stunning the Arrows (1-4), 35-31. Gabe Snyder connected with Brady Arnold for a 20-yard TD pass with 7 seconds left for the game-winning points. “I saw 11 kids with no quit in them and determination that we were going to win this game,” Knights coach Kevin Maltarich said. “It was nothing but pure guts and glory for these kids. As a coach, in your mind, you never think it’s over. I was thinking, let’s make this respectable. But those kids never quit.” LATE NIGHT: Matt Yoho threw a 28-yard scoring pass to Hunter Clanin on the last play of the game to cut Columbus Bishop Ready’s deficit to Coal Grove to 22-21. When Coal Grove jumped offside on the tying conversion kick, Ready elected to go for two points and Yoho threw to Gregg Yoho for the winning two points with no time left. CLOSE CALL: Riley Bransteter ran in a two-point conversion to give Rockford Parkway a 36-35 win in overtime at Fort Recovery. Fort Recovery scored first in overtime on quarterback Jason Pottkotter’s schoolrecord fifth rushing touchdown. Bransteter ran for 121 yards and two TDs and passed for 209 yards and another score in the win. A IS FOR ATHENS: Three Athens County teams — Nelsonville-York, Athens and Alexander — are each 5-0. All three compete in the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division, and are set to face each other the last three weeks of the season. The six teams in the TVC-Ohio completed the non-league schedule with a combined 23-7 record. NOTEWORTHY: Bellbrook (2-3) blanked previously undefeated Franklin 21-0, with the Blue Devils defense not allowing a first down in the second half; Bascom Hopewell-Loudon quarterback Tyler Tyree rushed for three touchdowns (10, 5, 1 yards) and threw for three (13, 14 and 19) in a 44-12 win over Sycamore Mohawk; and Arcadia is 5-0 overall and 4-0 in the Blanchard Valley Conference for the first time since the league was formed in 1965.

Thursday, September 29, 2011 Blue Devils win sectional golf title By Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — Coaches often say that the postseason is an extension of what you do in the regular season. Gallia Academy golf coach Corey Luce said it at the beginning of the year. And his Blue Devils, well, they listened. After going 60-0 in 15 matches during the regular season, the Blue Devils knocked off 15 more opponents by a whopping 43 strokes Tuesday afternoon at the Division II sectional match held at Shawnee State Golf Course in Scioto County. Gallia Academy earned its fourth straight district berth while also capturing the program’s first sectional crown since 1999, the same year that GAHS last won the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League title before this fall. The Devils were 30-0 in six SEOAL matches this year. After another solid day at the office, Luce says the focus now is on the district meet in Circleville. “Our guys played great today, especially on a very tough course at Shawnee State Park,” Luce said. “A sectional championship is a great accomplishment and it was a great team effort. Now it’s time to get to work again and prepare for the district tournament at Pickaway Country Club.” The Blue Devils posted a team score of 308 and had the top three individual scores overall at the 16team event. Nick Saunders claimed his ninth medalist honor this fall with a 1-under par round of 71 over 18 holes. It was also the 15th time this season that GAHS had the medalist at a match.

A Volley for the Cure™ match is a regular season high school volleyball match that is designated as an awareness and fundraising match. The goal is to pack the stands with Pink! Players, coaches, parents and schools are encouraged to get involved! The Volley for the Cure™ program continues to grow. Matches are held in all corners of Ohio, and the idea is being replicated across the nation. To date, over 26,800 Ohio volleyball players have participated in Volley for the Cure™, donating over $1 million to local Susan G. Komen for the Cure® affiliates in the fight against breast cancer. As participation in the Volley for the Cure™ events increases, so does awareness of this terrible disease and the importance of education for all women and girls. Both the Lady Marauders and Lady Eagles will return to action on Thursday, with Eastern hosting Miller and Meigs hosting Athens. Both matches will begin at 6 p.m. and are league contests.

What a finish. Gallia Academy and Ohio Valley Christian battled through 77 scoreless minutes Tuesday night for the coveted Holzer Cup trophy, but the visiting Defenders scored with 2:09 left in regulation to post a 1-0 triumph in the sixth annual matchup between Gallipolis-based soccer programs. Ohio Valley Christian (10-1-2) secured just its second Holzer Cup victory in the six seasons of this event, both of which occurred over the last three years (2009). The host Blue Devils (0-6-0) were also swept in the season home-and-home after a suffering a 4-0 setback at OVCS back on August 30th in the Old French City. The Defenders outshot GAHS by an 18-11 margin, which kept pressure on both keepers to make plays throughout the contest. In fact, both teams managed to accidentally put a shot on its own goal twice. Yet, with all the shots — and all the effort — the defenses continued to keep the other team scoreless after 77 minutes of an 80-minute affair. And then, in the 78th minute, the big break came after Chance Burleson netted a direct kick from 20 yards out — giving the guests a 1-0 advantage with 2:09 left in the second half. Neither team managed a shot the rest of the way, allowing OVCS to sneak away with a hard-fought 1-0 decision. It was also the second win for the Defenders in as many days after an 8-0 win Monday over South Point. After having an eight-game winning streak snapped by Point Pleasant on Friday, followed by a tie with Teays Valley on Saturday — Defenders coach Jeff Patrick was pleased with how this group responded over the last 48 hours. And particularly, on Tuesday night. “I mentioned to my assistant that I would be happy with a one-goal win the way the game was going, and then Chance lifted that kick in the air a few moments later — and all I wanted to do was hold on for two minutes,” Patrick said. “Our defense played well and Pete Carman was solid again for us in net. It was much-needed team win. “We can definitely gain some momentum back after going through a little spell last week. We were focused again, and that was the most important thing.” GAHS coach Josh Simmons, conversely, was disappointed with the final score … but that was about it. Especially given how much more competitive the Blue Devils were in the rematch. “Honestly, I’m very pleased with the way we played tonight. I told the team that it is not about how we started the season, it’s about how we finish it,” Simmons said. “We’ve shown some quality improvement throughout the year, but the last few games have really shown us how far we have come this fall. “OVC may be a smaller Christian school, but they have a lot of good players that have played together for a lot of years. They have a good team and a good coach, and we have no regrets on what we tried to do against them tonight. We left everything on the field.” The Defenders outshot GAHS 12-7 in the first contest, which in- cluded a 7-1 edge in the first half that led to a 1-0 intermission lead before scoring three times in the second half. Patrick acknowledged afterwards that he knew Round 2 would not go so smoothly. “I told our guys that this would be a completely different game than the first time we played Gallia Academy,” Patrick said. “We knew after the first game that Coach Simmons would adjust them to what we do because he is a good coach. Gallia Academy has some solid, young soccer players over there, and they all adjusted well. They definitely put the pressure on us and showed a lot of improvement from a month ago.” Carman made 13 saves for the victors while earning his seventh shutout of the season. Nathan Wiseman made 19 saves in net for the Blue Devils. The guests had a small 2-1 edge in corner kicks. OVCS will host Grace on Friday at 5 p.m. Gallia Academy travels to Jackson Thursday for a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup at 5 p.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
