Sunday, October 30, 2011 $1.50 • Vol. 45, No. 44 Gallia woman enters plea in Harrison Twp. theft case By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — A proposed guilty plea has been filed in the case against a Gallia County woman accused of stealing over $30,000 from Harrison Township. A negotiated plea filed with the Gallia County Clerk of Courts and signed by Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, the defendant Brenda K. Cremeens, 63, Gallipolis, and her attorney William D. Conley, includes a guilty plea to a fourth degree felony theft charge and a third degree felony tampering with records charge. The plea further states that, “In consideration of the Defendant’s plea of guilty to Counts I and II of the indictment, the Defendant shall be sentenced to three (3) years of community control. As a condition of the Defendant’s community control, the Defendant shall be evaluated for any psychological problems and follow any recommendation of the counselor. … Further, the Defendant shall pay restitution in the amount of $34, 337.20 and restitution in the amount of $6,563.00 (for the cost of the audit) for a total amount of $40,900.20 to Harrison Township.” A victim’s statement filed on Oct. 26 and signed by Ronald J. Slone, Harrison Township Trustee, states, “I, Ronald J. Slone, Harrison Township Trustee, victim in the matter of the State of Ohio v. Brenda K. Cremeens, do hereby agree that the Defendant plead Guilty to Theft, Count I, a Felony of the Fourth Degree; and Tampering with Records, Count II, a Felony of the Third Degree.” The defendant will be scheduled at a later date to appear before presiding Judge Fred W. Crow, III, for a plea hearing. Cremeens, the wife of Harrison Township’s fiscal officer, is accused of stealing $34,337.20 from the township between Septem- ber 15, 2006, and December 24, 2009. In addition, the indictment in this case alleges that Cremeens tampered with evidence — a Harrison Township bank statement — on or about Jan. 29, 2010, the said document, a statement kept by or belonging to a governmental entity. According to the prosecutor, recovering the funding for the township in this case was his main concern, as well as the largest concern of township officials. “My concern was getting the money back for the township.

Elections boards: 2,300 absentees cast in Gallia, Meigs By Brian J. Reed BReed@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Interest in the November general election is considerable if figures from the first weeks of absentee voting is an indication. Those who wish to cast a ballot prior to the Nov. 8 election must do so this week, under changes imposed this year by the Ohio Secretary of State, and voters have only this week to vote early. According to Becky Johnston, deputy director of the Meigs County Board of Elections, the board has received 1,030 requests for absentee ballots as the general election draws near. That’s a lot, considering this year is considered an “off year,” Johnston said. Local elections in villages and townships are being closely watched, and at least one state issue is drawing offyear voters to the election. Gallia County’s director, Jeff Halley, said that office has received around 1,300 absentee ballot requests since early voting began in September. The state no longer requires absentee voters to provide a reason for voting prior to election day, and applications can be requested by telephone and mailed to the voter, or filed and ballots cast at board offices during regular business hours. The last day to cast an absentee ballot is Friday, and the board offices in Meigs and Gallia counties will be open until 6 p.m. to allow those last-minute absentee ballots, Johnston and Halley confirmed Friday. The boards have been accepting applications and allowing absentee voting since early September. In past years, voters could cast absentee bal- See Elections, A5 Pomeroy native Carole Dale’s book of vignettes on life to be read at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Meigs Library. Meigs author reflects on life experiences By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — Author Carole Dale, who was born in Monkey Run and spent much of her young life visiting with her relatives here, will be returning to Pomeroy Saturday for a 2 p.m. book reading and signing at the Meigs County District Public Library. Her book titled “This Life and the Fireworks” is a compilation of 52 vignettes on her life experiences. Many of the stories relate to her memory of time spent here over the first 25 years of her life. She absorbed what she describes as “”the magical spirit that comes from the Ohio River and affects all who live in Pomeroy.” Dale recently reconnected with Annie Chapman who after reading her book insisted she come to Pomeroy for a book reading at the library. The short stories related by Dale in the book tell of her grandmother who rose above tragedy to hold the family together and give rich descriptions of her aunts and uncles who encompassed the charm and drama of life in the German-speaking neighborhood of Monkey Run.While her family moved to Belle, Va. when her father took a position with the Dupont factory, there were frequent visits to Pomeroy. Dale’s career took her from Washington, D. C. where she was in the same security category as President John F. Kennedy, to the position of special events in the office of Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University. She spent 31 years at the Ohio State University and while there embraced the study of American Foreign Policy aimed at creating a grassroots education project there. Dale was a member of “Women at Play” who wrote and performed their own plays for 12 years and then transformed into “Wild Women Writing” who do public readings of their own works in Columbus. The most recent performance was Oct. 10 at the James Thurber House on the theme of “Far Away Places.” �Sunday, October 30, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2 Gallia County Community Calendar Spouse makes her feel like a dumb blonde Card Showers Dear Dr. Brothers: Please don’t tell me to change my hair color. I’m a natural blonde and proud of it! But I am aware that my hair color signals to others that it is perfectly OK to make insulting jokes about my intelligence. This is bad enough from comedians or teasing friends or even perfect strangers, but lately my husband has been making some cracks when I mess up in some way. He knows this bothers me, but he does it anyway. Is it silly to let this upset me? — E.J. Dear E.J.: Surely the last person you want to consider you a “dumb blonde” is your husband. This stereotype is one that almost every fairhaired maiden has had to endure from time to time. Most people are able to laugh it off, or are proud enough of their intellectual skills that they know it is nothing personal. If you have any doubts about your ability to think on your feet or compete with others of a different hair color — which is as silly as it sounds — then you may be a little more sensitive than other women in your position. By this time in your life, you should be comfortable enough in your own skin (and hair) to have developed a few snappy comebacks to remarks by others — or look them up online. But hearing such cracks from your husband calls for more than just the latest Dr. Joyce Brothers Googled response. It is especially hurtful to be mocked by a loved one, and this is something you need to nip in the bud. Let your spouse know that his cracks are hurtful, and point out that you don’t make jokes about his nose or his lack of patience or whatever else he may feel self-conscious about that could be a target for ridicule. A lack of mutual respect is one thing that can sink the most promising relationship, and for this reason I wouldn’t just try to adjust. * * * Dear Dr. Brothers: I am worried about how my friend is setting up her little boy to be hurt in football. Our kids are seven, and hers is already looking forward to playing for the local university.

The coaches are trying to treat these little boys carefully, but some parents like my neighbor are so over the top. How could I approach her about this? — L.L.

Ohio Briefs Man gets time in homeless beating, death of woman CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio man has been sentenced to four years in prison in the beating of a homeless man sleeping under a Cincinnati bridge and the unrelated shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend. Michael Hesson was among four men charged in the April 2010 attack on the homeless man. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports his Friday sentence in Hamilton County also included a weapons charge accusing him of giving friend Riley Feller the gun that killed his girlfriend. Feller, an ex-soldier from Fort Knox, Ky., is serving five years in the homeless man’s beating and was sentenced Friday to 12 years for the reckless homicide of the woman and her fetus. Authorities say Feller, Hesson and the woman were in Hesson’s suburban Cincinnati apartment in January when the gun accidentally fired. Cleveland accused of away toddler couple giving CLEVELAND (AP) — A couple tried to give their 2-year-old daughter to a neighbor, saying they were going to drug rehab, and kept giving excuses for dumping the child, police said Friday. Officers received an anonymous tip Thursday that Gavin Aldridge and Courtney Followay had given away their daughter. They found an emaciated pit bull and feces on the floor at the couple’s house in Cleveland. The neighbor told police that he had cared for the girl for at least 10 days. He said the parents didn’t go to rehab and, after a week, gave other excuses for leaving the child. Police say the girl was treated at a hospital for scrapes and an eye infection and was released to her grandmother. The couple was jailed overnight and released pending an investigation. Requests for comment to Aldridge and the grandmother weren’t immediately returned. The Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services agency received a tip on Sept. 8 about possible neglect involving the child and tried to contact the parents more than 13 times, making phone calls and visits to multiple home locations, agency spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan said. She said the parents were determined to duck social workers trying to contact them about the child’s welfare. “The parents are skilled at evading authority,” she said. Social workers met Friday to discuss the Bureau lowering Ohio workers’ comp rates COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s bureau of workers’ compensation says it will lower rates next year, saving taxpayers and estimated $22 million. The bureau voted Friday to lower the rates for Ohio’s 3,900 public employer taxing districts by 5 percent beginning Jan. 1. Bureau Administrator Stephen Buehrer says the rate reduction is meant to help local communities cut costs in tough economic times. Workers’ compensation is the system by which employees injured on the job through no fault of their own have their medical expenses reimbursed and lost wages paid while they recover. In general, they receive the benefits in an agreement to not sue their employer. Court: No extra time for Ohio map repeal COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Democrats won’t have extra time to try to repeal Ohio’s new congressional districts under a Thursday state Supreme Court decision. The court denied Democrats’ request to re-start the 90-day clock to gather signatures to put the map before voters in 2012. Democrats asked for extra time after the court stated on Oct. 14 that they had the right to try to repeal the GOP-drawn congressional map. Democrats argue that the map unfairly favors Republican candidates. Ohio’s Republican elections chief and state attorney general had denied that effort when Democrats submitted their initial request on Sept. 26. The court’s decision means the 90-day clock started ticking in September instead of October, giving Democrats until Christmas day to collect the needed 231,000 signatures. The court gave no explanation for its decision. Illegal novelty contact lenses still sold in Ohio DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Novelty contact lenses designed to make the wearer’s eyes look like a cat’s or zombies’ are still being sold without a prescription in Ohio, despite their being illegal since 2005.

Multiple media outlets report that Kent State University professor Julio Pino shouted the comment on Tuesday after trading barbs with former Israeli diplomat Ishmael Khaldi. Pino reportedly asked how Israel could justify providing aid to countries with “blood money” that came from the deaths of Palestinians. Kent State President Lester Lefton issued a statement calling the comment “deplorable,” but defending Pino’s right to say it. Pino has been a controversial figure on campus.

Ohio students protest racially-based costumes COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio student group is asking its peers to avoid costumes based on racial or ethnic stereotypes this Halloween. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Students Teaching About Racism in Society at Ohio University has launched a campaign in advance of this weekend’s Halloween party, which draws tens of thousands of revelers to Athens. The campaign features five posters showing students holding up pictures of racially-insensitive costumes. One shows a white student in blackface and another a student dressed as an Arab suicide bomber. Other posters depict Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans. All of the posters show a member of the race being stereotyped holding the photos with text reading “We’re a culture, not a costume,” and “This is not who I am and this is not okay.” Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A3 Important aspects of an oil and gas lease By Richard Stephens OSU Extension Educator, Gallia County Ohio Valley EERA Over the past couple years; there has been an oil and gas “rush” in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Eastern Ohio. The Marcellus and Utica Shale developments under the ground are thought to be holding large quantities of natural gas and oil deposits. These shale deposits are resulting in large lease agreements between land owners and energy companies as well as royalty payments and other bonus payments. The payments are reaching into the thousands of dollars per acre. It is being speculated that the Marcellus Shale does not reach into southern Ohio all that far. And preliminary reports do not show it in Meigs or Gallia County. However, it is thought that the Utica deposit does come through Meigs County and into Northern Gallia County. There are pitfalls however. Landowners that are not educated on their rights in how to maneuver through the leasing process are putting many things at risk. Their financial well-being is at the top of that list, as well as their land and natural resources, and their water sources. There are tools out there for you to use. One of the major OSU Extension tools is www. guernsey.osu.edu for this type of information. Click on Agriculture and Natural Resources on the left side of the page and then click on “Important Information.” Cliff Little, ANR Educator, is on the forefront on this issue and has been compiling online tools and fact sheets for landowners. According to Cliff, before signing any lease, it is in everyone’s best interest to consult an attorney. Once a lease is entered into with a private company, it becomes the property of that company. Some companies are presenting generic or blanket leases to individuals. These leases may or may not be in the best interest of the landowner. As a landowner, you have the right to specify certain items in that lease. By knowing the specifics of this, your property and the future owners of your property can be better protected. Another very helpful tool is http://lookbeforeyoulease.wordpress.com/. Here you will find landowner tool kits, questions that should be asked before entering into a lease and much more information about the drilling and leasing process. It is very important that landowners do their homework and find information that is available to them. There are speculators attempting to purchase and lease property and mineral rights in southeastern Ohio on the assumption that drilling will come this way soon. Those same companies hold the right to be able to sell that lease to the high- est bidder. If you do decide to enter into a lease, please research the company thoroughly. Leases are not always a bad thing. In fact, in eastern Ohio, many leases have been quite lucrative to many families, but it is with long negotiations that this occurs. According to Cliff Little, it is imperative to have some things in place before the lease is signed. One is you need to know what you have to be able to put a value on it. Water quality, drill site placement, length of lease, and potential royalty earnings all need to be considered. To better help the public understand some of these issues; OSU Extension — Gallia County will be holding an informational program on oil and gas leasing and the impact of the drilling process on November 21 at 6 p.m. The location of the program has yet to be determined. Please check our website at www.gallia. osu.edu for more details. If you have specific questions please email me at stephens.163@osu.edu. Ohio Farm Bureau will also be holding a meeting November 16 at 7 p.m. at Buckeye Hills Career Center.

Those are just a few things made possible by military investments that paved the way for mainstream commercial applications benefiting millions of Americans. The same process is going on with the military and renewable energy. And what makes the process today all the more beneficial is the human lives saved and economic gain implementing renewable energy technologies can achieve. A new report prepared for the Civil Society Institute (CSI) shows that the Department of Defense has served as an incubator for some of our most important technologies. The CSI report – “Department of Defense: Renewable Energy & Tech Transfer” — had a collection of interesting findings, and framed the discussion of renewable energy in a different and distinct light. This “plus” for the American economy is significant, but the military’s groundbreaking focus on renewable energy also keeps Americans serving in combat safer. Transport lines — or convoy routes — required for fossil-fuel energy options are a prime target for enemy attacks and a source of troop deaths. Shipments are, on average, 50 percent fuel, 20 percent bottled water and 30 percent other necessary items, including munitions. According to an Army report published in 2007, there was one casualty per every 24 fuel convoys in Afghanistan and one casualty for every 39 fuel convoys in Iraq. Economically speaking, the total energy budget for the Department of Defense (inclusive of domestic and international installations and operations) ebbs and flows around $20 billion. Every $10 increase in price per barrel on the world market equates to an additional annual departmental energy cost of $1.3 billion. Many technologies being implemented at Forward Operating Bases, where the real human life savings will be realized, simply rely on the sun rising in the East — and last I checked there isn’t an OPEC authorizing international agency that regulates worldwide “sun” prices. As the CSI report detailed, the Department of Defense is in a unique position to have the breadth and depth necessary to acquire emerging technologies from the civilian sector and test them in real-world settings. Once the technology has been fine-tuned and widely used within the department, a transfer back into the civilian sector is fairly seamless. Better yet, the starting price for civilians is approachable, and within a few short years the price point will be further reduced. Presently, the DoD is beginning to incorporate renewableenergy technologies in both domestic and overseas operations. Senior military leadership recognizes the tactical and strategic advantages that reduced energy dependence affords them, and benefits to the civilian sector are forthcoming. Focus within the DoD has been placed on feasibly implementing various renewable energy technologies at Forward Operating Bases to reduce the “fully burdened cost” — human lives and economics. According to the CSI report, the Marine Corps has established an experimental forward base in Afghanistan to actually field-test various renewable energy technologies. Among the most promising technologies so far are the following:ReGenerator: Multi-fuel capable generator that can generate up to 1,200 watts of integrated solar, 2,400 watts of external solar and 1,200 watts of wind, along with managing fossil fuel generators. It also can store an additional 25.9 kilowatt hours in batteries that can support a charge from a 120 VAC or 240 VAC generator or grid connection. The integrated solar panels are adapted to harsh climatic conditions and have been field-tested.Oshkosh HEMTT-A3: Tactical hybrid truck that utilizes electricity generated from on-board diesel-electric generators to power each of the four axles. Functionality is not lost — it is capable of hauling 13 tons of cargo while cruising at 65 miles per hour. Arroyo 500: Perhaps the most intriguing technology in play — An airto-water generator where moisture is captured from the air and concentrated by a high-temperature desiccant wheel, collected and purified into potable water. Two generations ago, the military transformed American society by spearheading the advancement of non-whites into key positions, thus prompting corporate America to do the same and advance thousands of people of color. Today, the Department of Defense is demonstrating that a concerted national effort can lead to significant breakthroughs in clean energy and even greater fuel economy for transportation, as opposed to investing in cost-ineffective technology – such as expensive and risky nuclear power and non-existent “clean coal.” And as with antibiotics, jet travel, the Internet and GPS, what is good for our warriors is even better for our civilians. United States Air Force Emily Briley is also a senior energy and security analyst at the Civil Society Institute. She will complete her masters of Liberal Arts in Environment Management and sustainability at Harvard University in December 2011. Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: The (Youngstown) Vindicator, Oct. 21 … Terry Thompson, owner of the Muskingum County Animal Farm, may have once loved the animals he kept, but he surely knew he was condemning them to death when he set them free, just as he knew that he was endangering his neighbors and passersby, young and old alike. Because of the danger that Thompson visited upon his community, the deaths of those animals fall on him, not the deputies who were forced to pull the trigger. Interviews with Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz and several of his deputies clearly showed that they were grieving over what they had to do. But responsibility must be shared as well by a Legislature that has historically — and not just in recent history — been reluctant of infringe on what some perceive as a right of private individuals to keep exotic and dangerous pets. The idea that the framers of the Constitution saw as inviolate the ability of private citizens to keep lions and tigers and bears (or alligators, pythons and asps) is, frankly, bizarre. .. There is little doubt that our legislators are contemplating sundry initiatives in coming months that do not begin to compare with the need for Ohio to take action that would avert the next exotic animal tragedy. The General Assembly should get its priorities in order. ___ The Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. 23 Ohio’s election process was thrown into disarray this past week, and both political parties are squarely to blame for the mess — Republicans for cynically drawing new political district maps heavily tilted in their favor, Democrats for exercising the “nuclear” referendum option to halt the process and sow confusion. The result is theater of Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. the absurd — two primary elections, impossible candidate filing deadlines, and a Twilight Zone of shifting, disappearing congressional districts. The solution is as obvious as it is politically daunting: Ohio has to change the winner-takesall mechanism in which the majority party at the end of each decade gets to draw the maps its way for the next 10 years. This highly partisan process results in what Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican and a champion of redistricting reform, calls a “dysfunctional system” full of “partisan animosity.” … It’s time Ohio adopted an even-handed, transparent system to draw political maps. Husted says he has lawmakers in both parties willing to step up and push for a reform plan in the current General Assembly. Let’s hope so. This has to happen. Otherwise, Ohio could become entrenched as the electoral laughingstock of the nation. ___ The Columbus Dispatch, Oct. 24 The recent demise of a key provision in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul — with the admission that it’s unaffordable — ought to open an examination of the entire law, major portions of which are based on deceptive accounting, unrealistic assumptions and political gimmicks. After spending 19 months trying to make it work, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress last week that the federal government is giving up on the act’s long-term-care insurance program. This is significant because revenues raised from premiums American workers were to pay into this program were being counted on — through doublecounting — to help portray the health care overhaul as a deficit-reduction measure. … The plan would have collected premiums for five years before paying out the first benefit. This created a $70 billion pool of cash that the administration double-counted as an estimated $70 billion in deficit reduction. In reality, these “savings” were not a surplus but already were earmarked to be paid out later as benefits. The entire health care overhaul is based on such deceptive accounting. … Good intentions can be carried out only with good policy. Creating another unsustainable entitlement program and selling it based on dishonest cost estimates is folly. Americans deserve solutions that respect the limits of common sense and the laws of arithmetic. ___ (Steubenville) Herald Star, Oct. 21 Hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking, has been in use in the oil and gas industries for decades. During that time we recall hearing of no harm from it to people or the environment. Now, however, a few Ohio legislators want to ban fracking, at least temporarily, in the state. Bills are being prepared in both the state Senate and House of Representatives to declare a moratorium on fracking until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency completes a study of the practice. … If drillers are told they cannot use the most efficient methods available to get gas in Ohio, they will simply move their rigs elsewhere. The Buckeye State will miss out on a boost to the economy such as already has benefited many in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A variety of studies of fracking and other technologies used in gas and oil drilling already have been completed. To date none has cited any particular danger from the practice. … Both houses of the General Assembly should reject the fracking moratorium. At a time when Ohio’s economy needs all the help it can get — and Ohioans need all the jobs that can be brought to the state — such a ban makes no sense. �Sunday, October 30, 2011 Obituaries Landen Baisden Mr. Landen Baisden Sr., 83, of Dingess, was born January 5, 1928, at Marrobone, a son of the late Albert and Oma Dillon Baisden and Laura B.

Silver From Page A1 er gotten any money back,” Adkins stated and reported that any violation of the defendant’s probation sentence would result in prison time. “With the two charges she plead to, she’ll be on community control, and she would have a third degree felony sentence and a fourth degree felony sentence; so, she could have up to four and half years over her head if she was to violate her probation in the next three years,” he said. In addition, Adkins reported that the stolen funds were much-needed in Harrison Township and have been repaid, and the defendant’s bond dictates that she is to have no contact with Harrison Township property. “Part of her bond is that she not be around any township property, and the books aren’t to be at his [the township fiscal officer’s] house either or anything relating to the township,” Adkins said. “And the money has all been paid back including the money for the audit.” Adkins further stated that the defendant remained cooperative throughout the investigation into her activities. “From the beginning from 1957-1976 he served as a Sergeant First Class, first as a Communication Specialist and later as Chief Clinical Psychology Specialist. He served in the Korean Conflict from 1950-53 and in the Vietnam War in 1969 until 1970. He was a graduate of St. Martin College in Olympia, Washington, and was a member of the Southern Baptist Church in Pipe Creek, Texas. He also was a published author with his book entitled, “Panmunjom, Korea-The Meeting Place.” He was awarded the Bronze Star in 1970 and the Vietnam Merits Service Award. He is survived by his three daughters, Mary Jane (Erin Meshell) Medley, Bidwell, Patricia Ann (John) Luthy, Abilene, Texas, and Carol (Chuck) Craft, Puyallup, Washington; three step-sons, Charles (Martha) Davis, Jr., El Paso, Texas, Terry Lee Davis, El Paso, Texas, and Freddie Joe Davis, Los Angeles, California; 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; brother, Curtis Medley, Apple Valley, California; special friend, Lillian Debord, East Millsboro, Pa.; and his special canine friend, “Skoshi”.

Lonnie was a devoted Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A5 From Page A1 when the investigators first went down there, she actually had everything, all the paperwork and just handed it to them and said, “here’s what I did, and I stole it and it was about $34,000. I did it,’” Adkins said. “She cooperated with them and admitted everything.” Cremeens previously pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated theft and eight counts of tampering with records in two separate common pleas cases on Oct. 20, 1993, and was sentenced to a period of incarceration in the Ohio Reformatory for Women of not less than three years and not more than 15 years for both cases, sentences that were ordered to run concurrent with one another. The indictment in the defendant’s first 1992 case alleged that Cremeens stole $177,500 from Ohio Valley Bank (OVB) during a period of time between Jan. 1, 1981, and Oct. 2, 1992. In her second 1993 case, Cremeens was charged with eight counts of tampering with records after she allegedly falsified writings, data or records of various tellers at OVB at different times between September 1990 and October 1992. The indictments in these two cases were later tried together as the offenses could have been joined in a single indictment. Cremeens began serving her sentence on Oct. 22, 1993, and on Dec. 16, 1993, her attorney filed a motion for shock probation as the defendant, among other reasons, had paid full restitution to Ohio Valley Bank and had no prior criminal record. On Jan. 7, 1994, Cremeens was present in the common pleas court and was granted five years of shock probation in lieu of further jail time. Shock probation, according to court documents, was also granted in this case as the victim, OVB, was not opposed to the sentence. The shock probation section of the Ohio Revised Code was later repealed by the Ohio General Assembly. In connection with her probation, Cremeens was ordered to perform 2,080 hours (one year) of community service and ordered to pay the costs of the special prosecutor, George Ellis, in the amount of $2,000 in this case. county to another or from one precinct to another in the same county. This fall’s election ballot includes village mayors, council seats, school board positions, and township trustees and fiscal officers.

The Pughs have also made it a priority to hire local contractors and purchase necessary items and supplies locally, whenever possible. Although the couple have met a number of challenges throughout the process of reopening the theater — including adding the recent birth of their daughter, Piper, into the busy mix — Robbie Pugh said that the community support his family readily receives has more than made up for the hard work. “We get emails from people all the time — people who don’t even know who we are — saying ‘thank you’ for what you are doing in our community,” said Robbie Pugh. “It’s a pretty good deal.” The new theater is easily the closest place to catch a newly released film for Gallia County residents in Ohio and Mason County movie buffs in West Virginia, and it provides another op- tion for Meigs County, Ohio residents, as well. Aside from Silver Screen VII, the nearest theaters are found in Athens and Jackson in Ohio and Huntington, W.Va. The cost to see an evening feature will be $7 for adults and $4.50 for kids age 12 and under. According to Robbie Pugh, movies featuring 3-D will carry a $2 surcharge, as is legally required. Tickets can be purchased at the theater or through the Silver Screen VII web site at: www.silverscreenvii.com. �Sunday, October 30, 2011 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A6 Ohio Valley Weather Seasons aren’t the only things that change Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 55.

Member SIPC. By Marcus Geiger Social Security District Manager, Gallipolis, Ohio Many people enjoy watching the changing seasons, and in many parts of the country we find ourselves at that time of the year when the shifting from one season to another seems most enjoyable. In many parts of the country, the lush green foliage gradually fades to an autumn rainbow of yellow-orangered-brown. Cool air brings light jackets out of closets. Pumpkins and decorative corn begin to appear on porches and doorsteps. But seasons are not the only things that change. When it comes to some changes, we at Social Security need to know about them. If you receive Social Security benefits, there are certain things that we need to know about you in order to continue paying your benefits. Here is a reminder of some of the most important reporting responsibilities for people who receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Your address. Even if you receive your payments by direct deposit or debit card (as most people do), we still need a good mailing address so we can get in touch with you when we need to. You can inform us of a change of address, as well as telephone number, at our website, www.socialsecurity.gov. Your direct deposit information. If your payments go to your financial institution for direct deposit, you need to notify us of any changes. If you change your account information without letting us know, your payment could go to the wrong place. You can change your deposit information at our website, www.socialsecurity.gov. Your work, if disabled. If you receive disability benefits, we need to know about any work you do. If you start work, stop work, or have any change in your work, hours, or pay, we need to know. Your living arrangements, if you receive SSI. People who receive SSI are paid, in part, based on financial need. Payments may change based on your living arrangements. Because of that, we need to know how many people are in your household and how the expenses are shared. There are other things we need to know about, such as if you’re institutionalized, if you’re no longer able to handle your finances, or if you’ve been convicted of a crime.

Tax scam targets Ohio Social Security recipients Q: My elderly uncle lives on Social Security and has very little income. He hasn’t prepared a federal tax return for several years, but recently a tax preparer told him he needs to file. Is that true? A: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) income tax filing requirements are based on age and filing status. Depending on your uncle’s age and income level, he may not be required to file a return. Generally, for those age 65 and over, the 2010 income thresholds for filing were $10,750 (single), $13,450 (head of household), $16,150 (qualifying widower) and $20,900 (joint - both spouses 65+) Your uncle should be on guard against tax scams promoted by individuals trying to persuade people to file false returns. Q: What should my uncle know to guard against such a scam? A: The IRS has noted an increase in tax-return-related scams involving unsuspecting seniors and others who normally do not have a filing requirement. The scammers try to convince taxpayers such as your uncle to file a return with the IRS for money to which they are not entitled. Scammers are currently posing as tax return preparers, targeting the elderly and others receiving Social Security benefits. The scammers promise large tax refunds and lure unsuspecting victims into paying for the preparation and filing of fraudulent tax returns claiming false withholding, credits, refunds or rebates. If your uncle falls victim to this scam, he will not only be out the money paid to have the false return prepared by the scammer, but he’ll also have compromised his personal and financial information, opening the door to ID theft. Q: How has this scam been working? A: Flyers and advertisements for free money from the IRS have been circulated at community organizations including churches and organizations that assist seniors, exploiting their good intentions and credibility. The flyers suggest that taxpayers can file a return and get a refund with little or no documentation. Once their returns have been filed, scam victims discover either that they do not qualify for a refund or that the refund barely exceeds what they paid the scam promoter. Such fraudulent schemes are often spread by word of mouth among unsuspecting and well-intentioned people who tell their friends and relatives. Q: How can my uncle and others avoid such scams? A: Taxpayers should be very careful when choosing a return preparer. It is important to remember that even if someone else prepares your return, you are ultimately responsible for all the information on your tax return. If you are approached by someone you suspect may be a scam promoter, you should contact the local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center. Also, if you have questions about tax credits or refunds, you should visit the IRS website at www.IRS. gov or call the IRS toll-free number at 1-800-829-1040. of New York, Buffalo, New York.

Rebels fall to Symmes Valley; likely playoff bound By Sarah Hawley shawley@mydailytribune.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Postseason bound? In all likely hood, the answer is yes. Despite suffering a 21-8 loss to top seeded Symmes Valley on Friday evening, unofficial rankings have South Gallia playing in week 11. Unofficially, the Rebels are the seventh seed in Division VI, Region 23, meaning South Gallia could travel to face Buckeye Central. The official playoff pairings will be released on Sunday morning by the OHSAA. Sloppy field conditions and a slippery football made for difficult ball control during Friday’s regular season finale. Combined, the two team fumbled the ball 12 times in the game, mostly Sports Correspondent POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Despite a slow start from the Point Pleasant Big Blacks, it was another convincing 41-7 win on Friday night over conference rival Herbert Hoover. “It took us a while to get our offense clicking” said Head Coach David Darst. “Our defense kept us in the game and made some big plays and finally our offense got going.” The defense – the top defense in AA statistically speaking – allowed just one touchdown on the night and allowed just 119 yards of total offense and just five first downs. The offense, even with the early struggles, still totaled nearly 400 yards of total offense. Senior quarterback Eric Roberts passed for 145 yards and the lead- See LOSE, B2 on handoffs and snaps. Of the 12 fumbles, only one resulted in a change of possession. South Gallia started off the game with a 13 play drive, which took nearly six minutes off the first quarter clock. Two penalties deep in Viking territory pushed the Rebels into a fourth and long situation, with the pass attempt falling incomplete and Symmes Valley taking possession for the first time. It did not take the Vikings long to capitalize, with Tyler Rowe taking the ball in from the 15 yard line for the score. The two-point conversion attempt failed, giving Symmes Valley the 6-0 lead. South Gallia was forced to punt on its next possession. Symmes Valley’s Jacob Graybeal blocked the kick, with the ball recovered in the endzone by Tanner Mays. D.J. Miller added the two point conversion run, making the score 14-0. South Gallia once again moved the ball into Symmes Valley territory as the first quarter came to an end. The Rebel drive stalled near the 25 yard line, with the fourth down pass play falling incomplete. Once again, Symmes Valley seized the opportunity.

Meigs finishes at 6-4, 2-3 in the TVC, Alexander finishes 7-3 and 3-2. By Dave Harris Sports Correspondent POMEROY, Ohio — The Meigs Marauders saw their season come to an end Friday night with a 14-0 loss to Alexander. And another era came to an end at the last game ever to be played in the 61 year history of Bob Roberts Field in Pomeroy. The Marauders will play next year in a new stadium on the campus of Meigs High School. Meigs went into the contest with playoff hopes alive, but the Spartans ended that on a muddy sloppy with horrible playing conditions for both teams. The field was already wet from rains the last few weeks, but Friday’s rain and rain throughout the contest left the field with standing water on it. The Spartans scored two second period touchdowns, and their defense made it stand for the win. Meigs hold the all time record in the series with a 23-3-1 advantage. Alexander took advantage of a Meigs miscue to take and early 7-0 lead. A bad snap on a punt gave the Spartans the ball at the Marauder 44 after punter Cody Stewarts pass fell incomplete.

Gallia Academy at Jackson Big Blacks defeat Herbert Hoover By Bryan Walters decidedly, 41-7 By Andy Layton Sunday, October 30, 2011 bwalters@mydailytribune.com JACKSON, Ohio — Perfection at its worst. Jackson churned out 376 yards of total offense and pitched a shutout for all but 20 seconds Friday night en route to the program’s seventh unbeaten gridiron campaign following a 27-6 victory over archrival Gallia Academy in a Week 10 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup at Alumni Stadium. The host Ironmen (10-0, 5-0 SEOAL) won their third straight decision against the Blue Devils (6-4, 3-2) while also claiming the school’s first 10-0 regular season since 1996. It was also the second consecutive outright SEOAL crown for Jackson, which has now won or shared 22 league titles in history. Jackson, with the triumph, clinched its second straight postseason berth, as well as the program’s ninth trip overall to the playoffs. The Ironmen will once again be the only SEOAL program in the postseason for a second straight fall. Jackson will be traveling to either Jonathan Alder or Athens next Friday for its Week 11 matchup in the Division III, Region 12 bracket. The final seedings will be made official late Sunday morning by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Third-year JHS coach Andy Hall, who is 3-0 against Gallia Academy, was thrilled to once again be headed to the postseason. More importantly, Hall was excited for his players after becoming both perfect in the regular season and undisputed league champs. “Give all the credit to the kids. The seniors sat down this summer and wrote out team goals, and almost to a man the goals were the same,” Hall said. “Win a conference championship, go 10-0, beat Gallipolis, beat Ironton at Ironton, and win a state championship. “You can only do those things one game at a time, and I think this year we learned to take things one game at a time. I don’t think we ever looked ahead and we knew exactly what we wanted to accomplish.” The Blue Devils, on the other hand, missed another opportunity to join Jackson as both SEOAL champions and playoff contenders in a regular season finale. Afterwards, third-year GAHS coach Mike Eddy was truly disheartened to have the season come to an end. “This is a team that wasn’t supposed to be here. This was supposed to be the group of kids that couldn’t win or couldn’t play together,” Eddy said. “What a great accomplishment for them to be in this situation coming into tonight. “It’s hard to say goodbye because we’ve spent the last three years growing up together. I just cannot express my gratitude enough for these young men. They overcame the odds all season long.” The odds, however, weren’t in Gallia Academy’s favor Friday, as the guests allowed defensive season-highs in points, total yards allowed and rushing yards allowed. The Blue Devils were also just 2-of10 on third down conversions, while Jackson made good on half of its eight plays on third down. Things started well for Gallia Academy, as the guests took the opening kickoff and marched 62 yards in nine plays — only to have the offense stall on a 4th-and-1 at the JHS seven. The Ironmen countered with an 8-play, 93-yard scoring drive that resulted in an early 7-0 lead after Austin Osborne scrambled 27 yards to paydirt with 2:47 left in the opening period. Jackson went 2-for-2 on third down conversions during that drive, which lasted 4:05. The Blue Devils were See GALLIA, B3 White Falcons win second straight TVC Hocking title By Gary Clark Sports Correspondent MASON, W.Va. — Anthony Grimm and Kane Roush scored three first half touchdowns apiece to lead the Wahama White Falcons to an easy 74-8 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division football win over visiting Miller Friday evening before a cold damp crowd on senior night at the Bend Area campus. Grimm ran for 128 yards in 10 carries while scoring on runs of 53, one and 27 yards with Roush adding 66 yards on the ground in just six tries in addition to reaching the end zone on runs of 20 and 10 yards and a 25 yard touchdown pass from Isaac Lee. J.R. Jewell also had a big night offensively for the White Falcons with two long touchdown runs of 54 and 58 yards and 115 yards in just three carries. The victory gave Wahama the outright championship in TVC Hocking Division play for the second year in a row as the Bend Area team remained unbeaten on the 2011 campaign with a 9-0 overall mark and a second straight 8-0 record in league play. Miller saw their season come to an end with a 1-9 record in all games and a 1-7 slate inside the TVC Conference. The Mason County team honored 18 senior football players, one senior cheerleader and eight senior band members throughout the night in addition to recognizing three successful former teachers and coaches.

The defense was led on the night by another strong performance from junior defensive end Andrew Williamson. Other players on the defense with strong performances included junior noseguard Conner Templeton, senior safety Layne Thompson, senior defensive tackle Jerrod Long, and senior linebackers Jason Stouffer and Josh Hereford. It was the final regular season home game for the Point Pleasant seniors, a class that has now clinched four straight playoff appearances, a first in school history.

By Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com JACKSON, Ohio — Sometimes the journey is greater than the final destination. The South Gallia volleyball team had its historic season come to an end Thursday night following a 25-21, 25-19, 25-19 setback to South Webster in a Division IV district semifinal match at Jackson High School. The fourth-seeded Lady Rebels (18-6) ran into a familiar foe during their firstever district appearance in volleyball, as the top-seeded Lady Jeeps (20-4) ultimately held on in straight games to clinch their third straight postseason victory over SGHS. The Lady Rebels, however, put up quite a fight in their inaugural district outing, as they never trailed by more than seven points at any time while also holding leads in the first two games. SWHS led wire-to-wire in Game 3 to complete the semifinal sweep. South Gallia matched the program’s best record with 18 wins, which was set by the 2009 squad. And after finishing third in TVC Hocking play behind a pair of district finalists (Eastern and Waterford) for a second straight season, winning a sectional title was a fitting end for a group that has now become the measuring stick for future teams to come. Afterwards, fourth-year SGHS coach Tracey Burnette was proud of what these Lady Rebels had accomplished this fall. She just wished something so special didn’t have to end. “These girls have worked so hard over the course of this season. They’re good kids that want to get better, but they have also stayed so level-headed throughout this year,” Burnette said. “That’s the thing that I have enjoyed the most with them. Their willingness to keep working together for a common goal.” The common goal early on was rallying back from a 7-2 deficit in Game 1, which the Lady Rebels did by going on an 8-2 run for 10-9 edge. The Lady Jeeps answered with four straight points to recapture the lead at 13-10, but SGHS again responded with a 11-7 spurt for a 21-20 advantage. South Webster, however, closed Game 1 with five straight points for a fourpoint decision in the opener. The Lady Rebels stormed out to a 10-5 edge in Game 2, but SWHS answered with a 7-2 run to knot things up at 12 apiece. The Lady Jeeps closed Game 2 with a 13-7 surge for a six-point decision and a 2-0 match lead. The Lady Jeeps jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the finale, but the Lady Rebels pulled back to within a point on three different occasions at 9-8, 12-11 and 13-12. SWHS again ran off six straight points for a 1912 edge, but South Gallia countered with a 6-4 run to get back to within five points at 23-18. South Webster won two of the next three points, allowing them to claim a 2519 win for the match decision. The Lady Jeeps will now face Pike Eastern in the district championship match Saturday at 5 p.m. The second-seeded Lady Eagles defeated Portsmouth Clay by a 25-16, 25-8, 25-7 margin in the second semifinal at JHS. Meghan Caldwell, Chandra Canaday and Lauren Saunders led the Lady Rebels with six service points apiece, followed by Ellie Bostic with five points and Chrissy Howell with two points. Caldwell led the net attack with 14 kills and seven blocks, followed by Shelby Merry with seven kills and two blocks. Bostic and Brynn Adams added four kills apiece, while Canaday and Tori Duncan added two kills and one kill, respectively. Bostic had three blocks, while Canaday and Adams added one block each. Haley Potter paced South Webster with 15 service points, while Brooke Scott led the net attack with 16 kills. Erin Homerosky had a game-high 25 assists as well. It was the final match for seniors Chandra Canaday, Lauren Saunders, Shelby Merry, Chrissy Howell and Tori Duncan in the Red and Gold. All five of those girls have been with the varsity program for at least three seasons. That quintet was an emotional subject for Burnette afterwards. “I’ve never had five seniors on a team at South Gallia before this season, and those girls have been a big part of this program over the last four years. They are, simply, great people … on and off the court,” Burnette said. “I am going to miss them terribly, but they have also mentored a lot of underclassmen along the way. We will be okay in the future, but I am going to miss those seniors. We all came in together.” This senior class has a combined record of 68-23 over four years at SGHS, easily the best in the volleyball program’s history. Need to advertise?

Neither team would score in the remainder of the contest. Symmes Valley — despite being shutout in the second half — won by a 21-8 score. The two teams were nearly even statistically in the game, with South Gallia gaining 13 first downs and Symmes Valley gaining 12. The Vikings had 229 yards of total offense, while South Gallia had 206 yards of offense. Symmes Valley had the lone turnover of the game. “I think the boys second guess themselves sometimes about how good they are,” said Peck. “We shut out the state runner-up Wahama White Falcons the whole second half and it was 7-6 in the first quarter. We had a lapse against them in the second, and Symmes Valley — the number one team in the region — shut them out in the second half. We just got to get in the game early and take control early, then we’ll be on top.” The Vikings, as the top seed in Division VI, Region 23, will be at home for week 11.

Kane Roush hauled in a conversion pass from Lee after the first touchdown with Lee rambling in following the second score to increase the locals lead to 32-0 with just under six minutes left in the opening half. Two more touchdowns prior to the intermission break turned the contest into a rout early.

Drew Ervin plunged in from 10 yards out on 1st-and-goal with 4:09 left in the stanza. Gallia Academy finally converted a third down early in the fourth quarter, but that drive stalled out with 8:48 left in regulation. Two plays, 60 yards and 67 seconds later, Jackson claimed its biggest lead of the night after a 76-yard jaunt from Osborne made it a 27-0 game. Osborne was sacked by Dallas Moss on the opening play of the drive for a loss of 16 yards, followed by the longest play from scrimmage for either team on the evening. Osborne’s TD came at the 7:41 mark of the fourth. GAHS fumbled away its ensuing possession, but the defense got the ball back after forcing a loss of downs at the GAHS 25-yard line with 4:52 left. The Blue Devils needed 11 plays and 4:32 to cover 75 yards, but Zack Tackett’s three-yard scoring run with 19.2 seconds got the guests on the board at 27-6.

The two-time defending state champion Irish, secured another trip to the state tournament with a 2-0 win. The two teams battled back and fourth for the early portion of the first half, with Charleston Catholic attempting five shots in the opening 20 minutes of play. In the 23rd minute, Charleston Catholic’s Luke Smith scored off the free kick, placing the ball near the back post for the goal. PPHS goal keeper Brady Reymond was injured with a little over 10 minutes remaining in the opening half, but returned later to make several key stops for the hosts. After holding the 1-0 lead at the half, Charleston Catholic scored its second goal of the game in the 61st minute of the contest. Logan Shrewsbury scored on the assist of Will FarkasWorthey. “I’m really proud of them,” Point Pleasant head coach Chip Wood said of his team. “We played hard. Charleston Catholic is hands down the best team in the state, they are undefeated. I don’t see anyone coming close to touching them from here on out. this might be the toughest game they have at the end of the year. I think we probably played just as well as we could, wish we could have created a little more opportunities for ourselves.” Charleston Catholic had 25 shots in the game — 14 shots on goal — while Point Pleasant had one shot. The Black Knights lone shot was by Steven Porter in the first half. Reymond had 12 saves for the Black Knights, while Keiffer Reed had one saves for Charleston Catholic. Charleston Catholic had five corner kicks in the game, to just one for Point Pleasant. Each team was called for 10 fouls. “There were three players on the field tonight that made the Regional Olympic Development Program traveling team — Sam Revercomb, Tommy Trupo and Brady Reymond — so there was a lot of talent on that field tonight,” Wood added. Charleston Catholic will compete in the state tournament next weekend.

The Minnesota Vikings receiver was listed as questionable on Friday for the game against Carolina, but Harvin said he intends to play through the pain again. “I’m not going to change the way I play…When I’m in there it’s 100 miles an hour,” Harvin said after practice. Things don’t appear to be as cut and dried with cornerback Antoine Winfield and running back Lorenzo Booker for Sunday. Both are listed as questionable as well. Winfield has a neck injury that has kept him out of the last three games while Booker is recovering from a concussion and has yet to pass the tests required to be cleared to play. Right guard Anthony Herrera is out with a left knee injury. Winfield tested his neck in contact drills on Thursday and practiced on a limited basis on Friday. Coach Leslie Frazier said his leader in the secondary has made some improvements, but they’re still waiting to see how he feels Saturday before making a decision. “He felt OK,” Frazier said. “Not to the point where he said, ‘Coach, I’m definitely ready to go.’ We’ll see how he does tomorrow.” The Vikings could sorely use Winfield to return against Cam Newton, Steve Smith and the Panthers. They will be missing cornerback Chris Cook, who was suspended earlier this week after being charged with felony domestic assault, and starter Cedric Griffin has struggled over the last few weeks. The decision to play is solely on Winfield, who said Thursday that he is being cautious given the dangers surrounding a neck injury. The Vikings (1-6) have a bye the following week, though Frazier said that will not factor into the team’s decision on who to play and who to sit. “If they’re able to play and they’re not at risk injury-wise, unless our trainers tell me otherwise, we’ll try to get our best players on the field,” he said. If Booker can’t play, the Vikings will have a difficult decision to make at kick returner. Harvin is the team’s first choice, but the Vikes could shy away from him to try to limit the hits on those tender ribs. Booker is the backup, but if he can’t play that would likely leave the duties to punt returner Marcus Sherels or Stephen Burton, a rookie seventh-round draft pick who will be making his NFL debut Sunday. With John Sullivan back at center this week after missing a game with a concussion, Joe Berger will move over to start at right guard in place of Herrera. DE Jared Allen attended team meetings on Friday morning, but missed his second day of practice to be with his wife, who gave birth to the couple’s first child on Thursday. Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring), running back Adrian Peterson (ankle), linebacker E.J. Henderson (knee), nose tackle Remi Ayodele (ankle), defensive end Brian Robison (shoulder), safety Jamarca Sanford (concussion) and safety Husain Abdullah (concussion) are all listed as probable and expected to play. By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer HOUSTON — Houston star receiver Andre Johnson will miss his fourth straight game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hamstring injury. Johnson returned to practice this week and the Texans had hoped he would be able to play. He made progress, but Johnson said Friday that he would sit out another week. “I don’t feel like I’m ready to play,” he said. “I’m not at full speed yet. I said I wouldn’t put myself out there until I’m able to run full speed.” He was injured on Oct. 2 against Pittsburgh and had a minor procedure to repair the right hamstring injury early that next week. Coach Gary Kubiak said it was difficult to make the decision to keep him out another game, but that it’s better to get him completely healthy than to rush him back and have problems later in the season. Johnson said there isn’t anything specific he can do to speed the process, but that he simply has to continue working with trainers to improve. “I just have to keep maintaining the rehab and keep pushing myself,” he said. “It gets frustrating because every week a game goes by that you wish you could be out there, but it’s just part of the process. I’ll just keep working hard at what I’m doing and hopefully next week I can get back on the field.” The Texans (4-3) lost to Oakland and Baltimore in their first two games without Johnson, before bouncing back with a 41-7 win over AFC South rival Tennessee to take the division lead behind a 115-yard rushing and 119-yard receiving day by Arian Foster. Foster’s 287 yards receiving in the last three games have led the team with Johnson out. Kevin Walter has added 168 yards and Jacoby Jones has 112 yards receiving in that span. Johnson said he’s prob- ably about 70 to 75 percent recovered and that it wouldn’t be smart for him to return if he isn’t close to 100 percent. “Who wants to go out on the field and see a half speed Andre Johnson? That’s not a good thing,” he said. “You will be out there hurting your team and you could have somebody out there who could go out there and give it all they’ve got and make plays for you.” Johnson isn’t in any pain, but said that he isn’t feeling like he did before the injury yet. “It’s just tugging, but that’s part of it,” he said. “Those things are going to happen when you have procedures done. You just have to get used to getting back to doing things that you normally do. It’s just part of the process and I’ll just keep working on it and trying to get better.” He had 25 receptions for 352 yards and two touchdowns in Houston’s first four games.

Tonight: Vanish if you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Knowing what you want is the first step in making your desires happen. You don’t really need agreement from others, but their support will only please you. Bring others together, whether it is with Halloween cookies at the office or some other idea. Tonight: Where the fun is. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.

It’s that time of year when the air gets crisper, the days get shorter, and for many youngsters, the excitement peaks. The anticipation begins long before Oct. 31 and grows until the darkest, spookiest holiday of the year passes. It’s also a time when retailers rejoice as the cash registers ring from the sale of decorations, costumes, candy and greeting cards. After all it is the second most popular holiday of the year. While decorations don’t quite measure up to those put in place at Christmas time, there are plenty in the Bend area to see. Not all Halloween decorations are about ghosts and goblins and frightful things. Many of today’s displays feature happy faces on pumpkins, smiling scarecrows and lighted fun arrangements. While Halloween has always been viewed as a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition, most people today think of it as just a day of fun for the kids, a time to get dressed up and go into neighborhoods to “trick or treat.” However, because of the history of Hallowee,n many Christians refuse to participate in the observance, wary of its pagan origin, with its dark ghoulish imagery and the lasting impression it might leave in the minds of their little children. Because of their concern some Christians opt to provide Halloween alternatives with church programs and parties where it can be celebrated without reference to pagan rituals or the occult. History tells us that Halloween was originally a pagan holiday to honor the dead and was referred to as All Hollow Eve dating back to over 2,000 years ago. It was observed on Oct. 31 which is the last day of the Celtic calendar. Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and North- Mulberry Ave., Pomeroy ern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was held on Oct. 31 to honor the dead. The celebration is fed on superstition with the Celts believing the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil ones. It was that practice which evolved into today’s custom of trick or treat. While today Halloween is second only to Christmas as the most celebrated holiday, its observance was extremely limited in colonial New England because of the rigid Protestant belief systems there. However, as the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups as well as the American Indians meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations were “play parties,” where the harvest was celebrated with dancing and singing and ghost stories were told. It wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that America began to dress up in costumes and go house to house with their message of “ trick or treat.” By the turn of the 20th century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. The focus was on games, foods of the season and festive costumes and lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones. Today, trick or treat is a thriving Halloween tradition with hundreds of children moving from house to house collecting things for their goodie bags. As a protective measure for the masked ones often traveling down dark streets, residents willing to participate turn on their porch lights. In Meigs County it has happened already in all communities but Chester. Tomorrow night it will be observed there from 6 to 7 p.m. HALLOWEEN North Third Ave., Middleport South Third Ave., Middleport Mulberry Ave., Pomeroy Charlene Hoeflich/photos �Sunday, October 30, 2011 Help Wanted- General FT Administrative Assistant Position Available Visit the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce website at www.galliacounty.org for a full description of the position (bottom of the home page).

Entertainment Briefs Defense expert: Jackson gave himself anesthetic LOS ANGELES (AP) — An anesthesia expert testifying for the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death says he believes the singer gave himself a fatal injection of an anesthetic. Dr. Paul White says he doesn’t see evidence supporting the prosecution theory that Jackson’s doctor was infusing the singer with propofol using an IV. He says the theory isn’t supported by evidence found at the scene or in Dr. Conrad Murray’s statement to police. White says the evidence recovered in Jackson’s bedroom was more consistent with him receiving the anesthetic through an injection. A prosecution expert had told jurors he believed Jackson’s doctor used an IV drip of propofol and said that was the only way to explain the high levels of the drug found in the singer’s body.
