Sheriff Robert Beegle said the couple had been “of interest” to the Major Crimes Task Force for several months. Beegle reported the arrest of Charles Joey Thomas, 60, and Tresa Thomas, 47, on charges of trafficking in a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. Robbie Clonch, Middleport, who was a visitor at the Thomas home at the time the warrant was executed, was arrested on a warrant from Middleport Mayor’s Court, Beegle said. Middleport police officers, sheriff’s deputies and the Major Crimes Task Force assisted in the investigation and arrests. In addition, two minor children in the home were placed in the protection of Meigs County Children’s Services. The suspects were placed in jail pending a court appearance early this week. Beegle also reported the recovery of several items stolen from a tool trailer owned by David Cline. Cline reported the tool trailer stolen from a worksite on Success Road. The stepladders, gutter breaks, ice chest, gasoline cans, and other materials were recovered in another stolen trailer owned by Pat Mullins. It was found in Lebanon Township and investigation into the tool thefts continues, according to Beegle. OBITUARIES Page A5 • Paula J.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2010 www.mydailysentinel.com Study: C8 may cause higher cholesterol in children, teens water supply in the Ohio River Valley, including the Tuppers Plains-Chester and Pomeroy water systems in Ohio and Mason County water system in West Virginia. After enrolling in 2005 or 2006, the children and teens submitted blood samples. Higher PFOA levels were associated with increased total cholesterol and LDL or “bad” cholesterol, and PFOS was associated with increased total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL or “good” cholesterol. There was no association between either compound and triglyceride levels. On average, the onefifth of children and teens with the highest PFOA levels had total cholesterol levels 4.6 milligrams per deciliter higher and LDL cholesterol levels 3.8 milligrams per deciliter higher than the one-fifth with the lowest PFOA levels. In addition, there was an average difference of 8.5 milligrams per deciliter in total cholesterol levels and 5.8 milligrams per deciliter in LDL cholesterol levels between the one-fifth of participants with the highest and lowest PFOS levels. Meigs County ʻRelayʼ teams Finance committee working with Eastern board BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A medical journal is reporting that children and teenagers with higher levels of C8 and other related chemicals are more likely to have higher cholesterol. The youngsters included in the research were selected from participation in the C8 Health Project. The research was conducted by scientists at West Virginia University. The September issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the Journal of the American Medical Association archives journals reported the latest finding relating to exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonate through drinking water and other exposure. Perfluoroalkyl acids are used during the manufacture of fluoropolymers, which give non-stick heat resistance to cookware and breathable, waterproof properties to fabrics and upholstery. PFOA and PFOS may also result from the breakdown of compounds used as coating for commercial food packaging, factory treat- ments for fabrics and carpets and manufacturer pretreatment for stainresistant clothing. Animal studies have identified the liver as the primary organ affected by perfluoroalkyl acid exposure, with potential effects in human including alterations in cholesterol levels. West Virginia University School of Medicine assessed serum lipid levels in 12,476 children and adolescents included in the C8 Health Project, which resulted from the settlement of a class-action lawsuit regarding PFOA contamination of the drinking Please See STUDY A5 BY BRIAN J.

Veterans observance set for Saturday BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A parade, speakers, and recognition of all those who have faithfully served their country in times of war and disasters will be features of the Veterans Appreciation and POW/MIA Remembrance Day observance Saturday in Pomeroy. This is the second year for the observance sponsored by Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion. Last year’s event saw hundreds of people lining village streets in tribute to veterans. The 10 a.m. parade to kickoff the event will include patriotic floats, bands from several Meigs, Mason and Gallia schools, along with one from Wirt County, W. Va. which was here last year, fire equipment from area departments and military and veteran marching units. Grand marshall of the parade will be Mick Williams of Post 39 who has served as an officer in several state and national positions with the Legion. Residents are reminded that floats must have a patriotic theme and that no political units will be permitted. The parade will form near the football field beginning at 8:30 a.m. in preparation for moving out and through the downtown area at 10 a.m. In addition to honoring veterans, this year’s event will include a special tribute to the first responders and those who lost their lives in the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. Among those honored will be Alan Wallace, formerly of Middleport, who was a responder when a plane plowed into the Pentagon on that fateful day in September. Following the parade, there will be a time for special recognition, and speeches from military personnel and others on the parking lot stage, a 21 gun salute, the laying of a wreath on the river, and a display of military units for viewing. While a military flyover has been approved, chairmen Bill Spaun and Del Pullins, report that final arrangements have not been completed.

Ready to party? ʻParty in the Parkʼ this weekend BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE — Former American Idol finalist Bucky Covington, laser tag, amusement rides and Ronald McDonald are just a few of the attractions planned for Racine’s Second Annual Party in the Park this weekend. Covington headlines the event at 6:15 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 11 at Star Mill Park though the actual “party” begins at noon on Friday, Sept. 10 when amusement rides and games open at the park. Last year’s Party in the Park saw thousands of people show up for a free concert by Joe Diffie, prompting organizers to expand the event from one to two days. Like last year, the first 500 people through the gate at the event will receive a free, commemorative T-shirt. Admission is free though there is a fee to participate in the games and to take a spin on the amusement rides. Parking is free, though not permitted at the park. Shuttle service will be provided from designated parking areas. This year’s complete itinerary of events is as follows: Friday, Sept. 10: noon, amusement rides, games and video arcade open; 13 p.m., Rockin’ Reggie performs; 3-3:45 p.m., Party in the Park Queen and Court announced; 4:45 p.m., Country Five performs; 5-6 p.m., Ronald McDonald entertains; 6:15-7 p.m., Titus Canbe performs. Students from Southern Local will also be visiting the events during the school day on Friday. All events on Friday take place at Star Mill Park. Saturday, Sept. 11: 9 a.m., 5-K run begins at corner of Third and Main Streets; 9:45 a.m., flag raising at Southern High School; 10 a.m., parade kicks off at Southern High School with grand marshals consisting of Ohio State Highway Please See PARTY, A5 TUPPERS PLAINS — A finance committee will begin work again this fall to control rising costs in the Eastern Local School District, according to Superintendent Rick Edwards. Edwards said the rising costs of health care, in particular, have begun to create a financial hardship on the district, particularly when combined with the costs of utilities and other expenses of doing business as a school district. Edwards said the district’s revenue sources have remained the same, while the economy is forcing up the cost of operating the district. Last spring, the Eastern Board of Education established the finance committee to consult with representatives of the Ohio Department of Education dealing with district finances. The committee is made up of two members of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees, two members of the Eastern Local Education Association, Edwards, Board President John Rice and Treasurer Lisa Ritchie, as well as two members of the business community. “The district is doing all right financially at this point, but we do anticipate some potential problems in a year or two,” Edwards said. “The committee has been appointed with the hope of addressing costs before they cause problems for the district.” In particular, Edwards said, the board has growing concern over the increase in health insurance costs for its 110 employees. The district was handed a 20-percent increase in its $1.2 million health insurance premiums this year. “Anyone can do the math and tell that this cost increase and others like it can have a significant impact,” Edwards said Tuesday. “The committee will play a pro-active role by reviewing financial records, revenues and expenditures and making recommendations to the board,” Edwards said. “That will allow us to maintain fiscal responsibility before we get to a point of a fiscal emergency.” �Wednesday, September 8, 2010 www.mydailysentinel.com Race on the River attracts nearly 100 STAFF REPORT RACINE — Mother Nature cooperated perfectly providing a cool, dry morning for the inaugural Race on the River Triathlon and 7K run/walk held recently at Star Mill Park in Racine.

The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Fur Peace event benefits Red Cross STAFF REPORT POMEROY — The Fur Peace Ranch will host a benefit “Bluegrass and Barbecue” concert for the American Red Cross on Saturday. The Infamous Stringdusters will perform. Red Cross chapters in Athens, Gallia, Meigs and Vinton counties will benefit from the concert by the Infamous Stringdusters. The ranch will be opened for tours, as well, and food will be available. The ranch opens at 6 p.m., and the concert will begin at 8 at the Fur Peace Station Concert Hall. Tickets for this benefit are $25 and can be purchased through the Ranch’s website or by phoning the Ranch at 992-6228. Tickets are also available at Blue Eagle Music and Haffa’s Records. The Infamous Stringdusters are a six-piece group that bridges the gap between classic and modern Bluegrass. Although all members are schooled in traditional Bluegrass they are also able to attract fans of Jam-grass music. Their debut CD in 2007, “Fork in the Road,” was the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Album of the Year. At the same awards they also were honored for the number one Song of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year. All of the members of the group have had illustrious careers as backup and session players. Dobro player, Andy Hall, has toured with Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton and Charlie Daniels and was also an award winner as the best dobro player at the IBMA awards.

SIMPSON, D.O., M.B.A. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF FAMILY MEDICINE OHIO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE Question: The son of a close friend killed himself a few months ago, and it’s so hard to understand. Is there anything that can be done to help prevent suicides among our high-school aged kids. It is so tragic. At that age they are so young and have so much to look forward to. Answer: This is an excellent question. In fact, one of my colleagues lost a son to suicide several years ago, and the young man’s mother has worked tirelessly ever since to increase suicide awareness and prevention. Her efforts have been focused through an excellent program run by the Yellow Ribbon International Suicide Prevention Program. Before I give you more details about this program, here are some basic facts. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people ages ten to twenty-four, and the second leading cause of death for college students. It is the sixth leading cause of death in children from 6 to 9 years old. A major cause of suicide is a treatable psychiatric illness. In fact, ninety percent of teens who commit suicide have been diagnosed with a psychiatric problem. One of the most common of these is depression. Yellow Ribbon says there are “warning signs” that can help you spot depression in teenagers. They are: feelings of sadness or hopelessness, feeling angry or moody, crying easily, chronic worrying, difficulty concentrating, declining school performance, loss of pleasure or interest in activities that used to be fun, sleeping too much or too little, and changes in weight or appetite. Yellow Ribbon — sponsored by the Auxiliary to the American Osteopathic Association — emphasizes the fact that suicide is most often not a wish to die, but a desire to end the pain of living. If teens ask for help and have an opportunity to talk about their feelings, it can lessen this pain. Yellow Ribbon has developed an effective method to encourage teens to take that first step and ask for help. Yellow Ribbon distributes cards to teenagers that they can use as a “lifeline” to seek adult help when they don’t have words to express their feelings. One of these cards says at the top in big letters “THIS CARD IS A CRY FOR HELP.” It tells the person who receives the card to stay with the teen, because “you are their lifeline.” It asks the recipient to listen, to take the issue seriously and to get help immediately. At the bottom of the card is a help-line phone number. Even if you’re not given one of these lifeline cards, there are still ways you can help the teenagers you know. First, remember the warning signs of depression I mentioned earlier. Second, take his or her words and actions seriously. Don’t ignore any talk of suicide, hopelessness or despair. Ask about the teen’s home life. Situational stress such as the death of a parent or abuse can lead to thoughts of suicide. Seek professional help. Remember that depression is treatable both with drugs and counseling. To educate yourself about teen suicide, log onto www.yellowribbon.org, visit your local library, or look in the phone book for support groups. (Family Medicine® is a weekly column.

I don’t know if it was all the intense studying or what, but I really feel I’m done with the whole world of anthropology. I have one more year till graduation, and I am beginning to panic. Please help. — S.B. Dear S.B.: I suppose it is not too unusual to feel like you are burnt out with so much concentration on one field, with much of being it resultsoriented and academic. Before dumping your chosen field, it might be a good idea to talk to some people who are five or 10 years removed from the college classroom and see if the kind of life they are leading and the work they are doing appeal to you at all. If you have a chance between now and graduation, can you do some work in the field — something that will approximate the kind of job that might be out there for you?

I am sure you are aware of how terrible the job market is out there for recent college grads, and how few of you are finding work in your chosen fields anyway. Unpaid internships to gain experience seem to be popular even after college, but if you can sit down with a counselor or even friends and family to figure out what you really are interested in and try to get an internship before graduation, you will at least have a start going in another direction.

Mail Subscription Inside 12 Weeks 26 Weeks 52 Weeks BY SAMANTHA GROSS ASSOCIATED PRESS Stocks closed lower Tuesday following new worries about Europe’s debt problems. Treasury prices rose and gold settled at a new high as investors sought out safe assets. U.S. stocks followed European markets lower after news reports said banks in Europe may have more risky government debt on their books than was disclosed during “stress tests” earlier this year. That could mean fees from regulators and more capitalraising by the banks to bolster their balance sheets. Shares of major European banks including Barclays PLC and UBS fell, and the dollar rose against the euro. “The soundness of stress tests are, and continue to be, in question,” said Brian O’Reilly, president of the Collingwood Group. Uncertainty about the tests could be a drag on the market until European regulators provide some more transparency about exactly what figures were included in the test, O’Reilly said. The reports renewed worries about European government debt, which had flared up earlier this year following a fiscal crisis in Greece that spread to other weak European economies and helped bring stocks down worldwide. Stocks had been doing well last week, rallying on improved news about job growth and gains in manufacturing in the U.S. and China. The better economic news helped the market end higher for the week, breaking three straight weeks of losses. Many investors still have faith the economy is growing, but the pace of that growth is in question. Economic reports have been inconsistent, leaving traders overreacting to every bit of news. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 107.24 points, or 1.0 percent, to close at 10,340.69. Broader indexes also fell, making for a weak start to a week shortened by the Labor Day holiday on Monday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 12.67, or 1.1 percent, to 1,091.84, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 24.86, or 1.1 percent, to 2,208.89. About three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume was very light at 3.2 billion shares. Volume often starts to pick back up after Labor Day when traders return from summer vacations. But Brian Peardon, a wealth adviser at Harrison Financial Group, said many investors might continue to stay out of the market even when they get back because of uncertainty about the global economy. Uncertain investors continue to pour money into Treasurys. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 2.60 percent from 2.71 percent late Friday. Its yield is often used as a gauge to set interest rates on mortgages and other consumer loans. Gold also rose as investors took money out of stocks and sought out other assets seen as having more stable value. Gold for December delivery rose $8.20 to settle at $1,259.30 an ounce. Several reports later this week could shed more light on the U.S. economy including the “beige book” report from the Federal Reserve coming out on Wednesday and weekly unemployment numbers due out on Thursday.

A place of mourning. A place people pass by on their way to grab lunch. It’s a place where tourists crane their necks to snatch a glimpse around barriers walling off an enormous construction site — which is also what it is. Ground zero. Depending on whom you talk to, it’s a scar on this city where horror still lingers, a bustling hive symbolizing the resilience of a nation, or simply, for those who live and work nearby, a place where life goes on. In recent weeks, as debate has raged over the placement of a planned Islamic cultural center and mosque a couple of blocks from the construction, Americans have been reminded of just how many people lay claim to this place, the focal point for all those who have a stake in the legacy of Sept. 11. Almost everyone has a stake. Gesturing at the land he helped clear in the weeks after 9/11, Louis Pabon believes he knows who owns it: “This is mine.” Today he is wearing his hard hat again, standing at the gates of St. Paul’s Chapel, hawking the photos that he took of the wreckage. Tourists stop in the sun to look at the images of smoky desolation. Take a walk around ground zero, and you can get lost in the throngs. Among the tourist crowds at St. Paul’s, a block away, a woman sipping a strawberry smoothie walks past an altar covered with photos of the dead. Outside, beneath cranes that glint red in the sun, construction workers cluster. A woman in a business suit and white sneakers speeds down the sidewalk. Burger King is full, and at Century 21 department store, across from the construction, polo shirts are 85 percent off. This place was once a giant plaza filled with businesspeople and tourists and shoppers and commuters rushing to the subway. Then, on one sunny September Tuesday in 2001, it became suddenly a place of history and loss. Within 24 hours, someone had dubbed it ground zero, and it was never the same. After 9/11, there were weeks, and months, of coming to grips. Everyone had lost something. A child. An acquaintance. A skyline. A sense of safety. A center of business. A solid stock portfolio. A feeling that we knew where everything was heading. The city’s Muslims, many of them, lost a willingness to speak out. They had enjoyed a kind of anonymity — a knowledge that they were just another ingredient in the hearty stew of New York. But since Sept. 11, they have felt an unwanted spotlight, and some have been afraid. “Now no one can talk about Islam ... because Islam became like equal to violence,” says Noureddine Elberhoumi, a cab driver who says that after Sept. 11 he stopped volunteering information about his religious affiliation. “In their mind, Islam is always going back to Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11 — that’s it.” In the days after the attacks, the nation was in a wrenching, gripping catharsis. We were mourning our dead. We were mourning the accustomed path, whatever it was, that had been ripped out from under us. We were on a new, uncertain course. Before the week was out, the pastor at St. Paul’s began calling the site of the devastation “sacred ground.” On Sept. 20, Katie Couric told TV viewers it “should be hallowed.” For the family members of more than 1,100 of the victims whose remains were never recovered, it is the only gravesite they have. “This pit of evil and doom,” Sally Regenhard calls it now, her voice shaking nine years after the death here of her firefighter son, Christian. “My son’s beautiful remains are forever scattered,” she says. “Ground zero is a burial ground.” Since that awful day, the story of the site has been through what seem like endless chapters. There were battles over the land — over the prolonged search for victims’ remains that kept turning up more tiny body parts in the soil five years later. The developer and insurance companies fought over payouts. The state and the developer haggled over financing and how many towers would be rebuilt. Some families successfully challenged the creation of a freedom museum at the site, and some questioned whether a planned performing arts center there is appropriate. How best to pay respect to the dead? Now, most everyone is staking out a position on the planned Islamic cultural center, to include a mosque, auditorium and other facilities about two blocks from the construction barriers. Some say the location should be moved out of sensitivity, because the Sept. 11 hijackers claimed to act in the name of Islam. Others say that moving the mosque would be bowing to intolerance and curtailing religious freedom. Through all of this conflict, ground zero has been shuttered. Few have walked on its soil, except for the workers who cleared the site and those who are rebuilding it. Family members and others invited to the yearly memorial ceremonies have been allowed in, as was the pope on his 2008 pilgrimage. But most have been unable to enter. At first, some people walked up to the barricades to post pictures of the missing, others to keep watch on the dead. More came. Out-of-towners started filling the sidewalks at the edge of the construction, holding up maps and asking passersby: What’s the best spot to see ground zero? With so few allowed in, everyone who journeyed to this untouchable space could make of it what they would. So what happens after the planned memorial opening on Sept. 11, 2011 — when the public is allowed inside the walled-off space? Although the rules haven’t been finalized, one could imagine a jogger passing through and pausing to take a drag off her water bottle, a group of kids breakdancing for tips, a businessman unwrapping his sandwich for lunch on a sunny bench. Sacred or no, in many ways this space will belong to the American people — those who come to mourn the most personal of losses, those who come for all the other reasons, and even those who don’t come at all, but know this place is now no longer just a hole in the ground. The memorial was always intended to become a vibrant space again — to “be stitched back into the grid of lower Manhattan,” says professor James E. Young, a member of the panel that selected the memorial design. “Short of turning the whole thing into a cemetery with fences and saying this is somehow inviolable ... we knew that even sacred spaces live in public use,” he says.Some proposals had called for the footprints of the twin towers to be cordoned off, with only family members of the victims allowed there. But that “suggests that only the families of victims own it,” Young says. “What about those who were injured? What about those who escaped? What about the rest of the city, which also felt surely violated and even victimized by the attacks?” Many around the nation — even around the world — felt that they had been hit, too. A newspaper headline in Paris said after the attack: “We’re all Americans.” How much reverence will be given to this open space in the city’s maze, which still carries for many the memories of screams and dust and panic? Can it stay sacred? That question was answered long ago, says a family member. “The memorial museum is selling souvenirs, for God’s sake,” says Diane Horning, who lost her son, Matthew. “You can’t stand in ground zero without seeing Century 21’s big banners advertising whatever their special is. ... This hasn’t been sacred space since the day they put the first rivets in something. It’s office buildings, it’s places to eat, it’s everything but sacred space.” There’s even a strip club three blocks from the construction site. At New York Dolls Gentlemen’s Club, a woman in a red sequined G-string takes a break from platform dancing and leans over to rub her calves. In the background, Alicia Keys sings on a recording about New York’s concrete jungle. Outside, where William Dean is handing out flyers promoting the dancers, he says he’s used to people yelling at him about the unseemly proximity to ground zero. His answer: “We’re making a buck like anyone else.” Just one block closer to ground zero, it’s still uncertain whether the cultural center and mosque known as Park51 will be built. But this would-be neighbor has aroused a reaction unlike any of the other disputes over this land. The mosque furor has brought 9/11 back to the fore of America’s consciousness. It had been quiet for a long time, bogged down in the bureaucracy of what would be built, for how much and when. Amid all the disputes and all the compromise, the World Trade Center site had lost some of its hold on the public’s imagination. Freedom Tower, the site’s signature skyscraper, rising a symbolic 1,776 feet, was renamed One World Trade Center, thought a better draw for corporate tenants. Even the ethereal design imagined by architect Daniel Libeskind came back to earth, restrained by the boundaries of physics and financing. The plan for the memorial pools set in the footprints of the towers, though, remains. At the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site at ground zero, a mob of visitors is snapping pictures, clustering in around a small-scale model of what this place is supposed to become. There are the footprints, with lines standing in for what are to be the largest manmade waterfalls in the nation. There are tall, elegant buildings. There are tiny trees, each miniature trunk no thicker than a pushpin. It looks peaceful. And it looks ready to come to life. �Wednesday, September 8, 2010 Obituaries Paula J. Dillon Paula J.

The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 www.mydailysentinel.com Weather Gallia Co. CVB rolls out iPod tour BY ANDREW CARTER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) has added another lure to its tackle box in an effort to attract more tourists to the local area. The downtown Gallipolis iPod walking tour was instituted about six weeks ago, according to CVB Director Bob Hood. While tours of this nature are not new to Gallia County, Hood said the CVB borrowed the iPod-guided tour idea from some other cities and counties around the region. “A person e-mailed me a picture of a walking tour that was done in the Niagara Falls (N.Y.) area, and they thought it would be kind of a clever idea,” Hood said. “I thought, ‘We could do this.’ We went online and looked at other cities, some big, some small, that offer this type of thing.” Currently, Hood said, five sites in the downtown Gallipolis area are part of the tour: Gallipolis City Park, the Our House Museum, the French Art Colony, the Ariel Theatre and the Gallia County Historical and Genealogical Society on Second Avenue. Hood said a self-guided walking tour of Gallipolis has been made available to tourists for many years, but, because of changes and advances in technology, the CVB leadership believed it was time to upgrade its own tour and decided to begin using iPods, which are very light and portable. “We wanted to kind of keep up with modern technology by using the iPod,” he said. “We’re looking at being able to download (the tour information) to smart phones and put it on as an ‘app’ (application).” Funding for the project was provided through a grant secured by the Gallipolis Downtown Development Group, which is an offshoot of the former Main Street Gallipolis committee. Hood said the start-up Andrew Carter/photo Karen McCarty from the Gallia Co. Convention and Visitors Bureau displays the iPod that tourists use for the Downtown Gallipolis walking tour. Currently, five sites of interest are featured on the tour. cost for the tour was about $1,000. He said that total included purchasing the five iPods, signs at each site and audio production, which was provided by the University of Rio Grande and Sunny 93.1 radio station. Hood said the CVB leadership hopes to expand the use of iPod tours locally. “We’re looking at doing some tours in the county and cemetery tours,” he said. “There’s been a lot of interest in cemetery tours. I had some storytellers here last week and they said they thought it would be cool to take an iPod and go to a cemetery and hear stories about the cemetery, the history, that sort of thing.” Hood said visitor response to the iPod tour has been good, but not overwhelming. However, he thinks it could be a catalyst for future growth. “It’s peeked some interest in some other developments, like the cemetery tours and some other walking tours, some old driving tours that we used to do out in the county,” he said. He said information about the iPod tour is available on the CVB Web site at visitgallia.com. Tourists who take the iPod tour must pay a deposit, which is refunded at the conclusion of the tour.

Attorney Omar Tarazi is seeking $10 million in a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Columbus to compensate him for damage he alleges was done to his reputation. Tarazi represented the parents of Rifqa Bary, a Christian teenager who fled to Florida, saying she feared harm from her Muslim mother and father. Bary was returned to Ohio last year and placed in foster care while a juvenile court judge tried unsuccessfully to reunite Bary and her parents. Bary left the custody of Franklin County children services when she turned 18 last month. Police investigations in Ohio and Florida found no evidence she would be harmed. Bary, who emigrated from Sri Lanka with her family when she was 5, was an illegal immigrant until last week when she gained her green card, her attorney, Kort Gatterdam, said Tuesday. In his lawsuit, Tarazi said blogger Pamela Oshry wrongly linked him to Hamas, considered a terrorist group by the U.S. government. He said she also falsely said he was appointed to represent Bary’s parents by the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR is a Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d Islamic advocacy group. On her website, Atlas Shrugs, Oshry, who also goes by Pamela Geller, repeatedly refers to Tarazi as a lawyer appointed or selected by CAIR. Her website also includes links to sites alleging CAIR is a terrorist front. Geller also leads an organization called Stop Islamization of America that placed ads on New York City buses last spring offering information to those wishing to leave Islam. And she is organizing a protest on Sept. 11 in New York against a proposed Islamic cultural center to be built near ground zero. Tarazi says Orlando, Fla., attorney John Stemberger, who represented Bary in Florida, defamed him by calling him unqualified and also alleging in a December TV interview he has terrorist ties. Stemberger said Tuesday he was still reviewing the lawsuit but was comfortable with comments he has made about Tarazi. Oshry, who also goes by Pamela Geller, said by e-mail she had not seen the lawsuit. Tarazi said he has never worked for CAIR or been appointed by the group to represent Bary’s parents, which he said he did pro bono except for some minor expenses his clients paid for. Tarazi said his mother volunteered as a secretary with CAIR-Ohio in Columbus but left that position three years ago. Tarazi says the comments about him have damaged his reputation permanently, in part because Internet searches of his name turn up “accusations of perjury, conflict of interest, being unqualified as an attorney.” Individuals are supporting Bary financially as she makes decisions about her future, said Gatterdam, who would not identify the people or say where Bary was or what she was doing. “It’s been a very traumatic last nine or 10 months,” Gatterdam said. “Now she’s sitting back and planning her future.” Gun stolen in 1987 in Ohio turns up in Wash. state OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — A gun stolen from an Ohio home has been recovered 23 years later at a pawn shop in Washington state. There is no way to tell how the .45-caliber Colt 1911 series pistol ended up more than 2,000 miles away from the Oxford Township home where it was stolen in 1987, township police Chief Michael Goins said. Goins said he was surprised when a Lakewood, Wash., detective contacted him several months ago saying he may have found the gun stolen more than two decades ago in the southwest Ohio township. The police chief said he wasn’t sure how the detec- tive came across the gun. Goins initially did not remember the case, but looked it up in the department’s records and found that he was the officer who took the report from gun owner Ralph Rud. The chief said he compared the serial number from the original report with data on a Dallas-based com- puter system that collects information from pawnshops and other businesses. He then compared data from that system with data on the FBI’s secure National Crime Information Center computer system that stores details about crimes. The serial number from Rud’s gun had been entered in the FBI system the day after the pistol was stolen, and Goins was able to confirm the gun in Washington state belonged to Rud. “I was absolutely amazed that, after 23 years, it was still on the books,” Rud, now living in Connersville, Ind., said. Goins said he expects to get the gun back from Washington soon and let Rud know when he can come and pick it up. “It’s a shame we can’t follow it all the way back, so we would know who broke into the Ruds’ home all those years ago,” Goins said. Six other guns taken in the 1987 theft have not been recovered. convention of black mayors from across the country that was scheduled for this week in Cincinnati has been canceled. A spokesman for Mayor Mark Mallory said Tuesday that he was informed over the weekend that the 36th National Conference of Black Mayors meeting was canceled by the group’s president due to low registration. Mallory is a member of the group, which includes some 650 mayors. The convention was initially planned to coincide with MLB’s annual Civil Rights Game weekend in May, but was pushed back due to budget constraints in participating cities. In recent years Cincinnati has attracted several predominantly black convention groups, including the 2008 NAACP national meeting, after being subjected to a boycott soon after 2001 racial violence.

Ohio Briefs Experts testify in 5-state carp lawsuit CHICAGO (AP) — The reliability of genetic testing to detect the presence of Asian carp is the focus of the first full day of expert testimony in a five-state lawsuit. Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylvania want a federal judge to close Illinois shipping locks to prevent the invasive fish from overrunning the Great Lakes. The first witness called by the states Tuesday was a biologist who found traces of Asian carp DNA in Chicagoarea waterways near Lake Michigan. David Lodge says the DNA most likely came from live carp. Others have suggested the carp DNA could have been transported in the ballast water of barges and so the positive test don’t necessarily mean the fish is present. But Lodge says that and other explanations are far less plausible. Ohio Marine killed in Afghanistan COLUMBUS (AP) — The girlfriend and parents of an Ohio Marine say they were informed over the weekend that he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Twenty-three-year-old Sgt. Jesse Balthaser of Columbus served with the 1st Marine Division, 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion, and was based at a camp in southern Afghanistan. Parents Rick and Nancy Balthaser say they received word Saturday that their son had died the day before. Girlfriend Erin McSweeney says the family was told Sgt. Balthaser stepped on a roadside bomb and was killed instantly. His loved ones had expected Balthaser to return home in November, when his current tour was scheduled to end. National mayorʼs group cancels Cincy meeting CINCINNATI (AP) — Officials say a major COLUMBUS (AP) — The mother of an Ohio man who was fatally mauled by a bear has thrown her support behind an exotic pet ban being written in the state. Deirdre Herbert says in a letter dated Saturday to Gov. Ted Strickland that keeping wild animals as pets is a “prescription for more tragedies.” The Humane Society of the United States, which is pushing for the ban, posted her letter on its website. Twenty-four-year-old Brent Kandra died after an Aug. 19 attack as he fed the bear owned by another man at a suburban Cleveland animal facility. Herbert urges Strickland to closely examine whether current owners of dangerous pets — such as bears, lions, tigers, chimpanzees and big snakes — should be able to keep the animals after the ban takes effect.

(AP) — Some of Doc Holliday’s recruits at West Virginia might end up haunting him. Holliday lured several high school standouts out of Florida to play for the Mountaineers in his two seasons as director of recruiting — now many are significant contributors for WVU. So Holliday, Marshall’s first-year coach, figures to be proud and regretful when the Thundering Herd (0-1) and West Virginia (10) play on Friday night in Huntington. Holliday is downplaying his relationship as the state’s only two FBS schools renew a series that could be called anything but a rivalry. West Virginia is 4-0 against Marshall since they resumed playing in 2005 and 8-0 all time. “All that stuff goes out the window once the game starts,” Holliday said. “If I have to make any plays out there on Friday night, we are probably in trouble. We have to make sure our players make plays. I don’t know if I could make a play right now.” Marshall couldn’t make many plays in a 45-7 loss to Ohio State last week, while West Virginia breezed past FCS Coastal Carolina 31-0 and moved up two spots to No. 23. Watching film of the Mountaineers, Holliday saw players making plays that he personally steered to Morgantown. Geno Smith completed 20 of 27 passes for 216 yards and two scores in his first start Saturday. Robert Sands, a 6-foot-5 safety, forced a fumble and was making big hit after big hit, so much that he had to leave the game after hurting a thumb and shoulder on consecutive plays. But he should be ready for Marshall. Stedman Bailey, a redshirt freshman and high school teammate of Smith’s at Miramar High in Florida, got his first start at wide receiver. “There are about four or five of them that I wish I hadn’t (recruited), because I would like to have them here right now,” Holliday said. That special bond still exists for the Mountaineer players, even if they want to give Holliday fits. “I’m happy for him,” Sands said. “He’s getting his first shot as a head coach. Every assistant coach wants to be a head coach someday. Doc’s been around the game for a long time, and he finally got his opportunity — he seized the moment.” Going to Marshall meant Holliday was taking all that knowledge of West Virginia’s system with him. Holliday was in charge of tight ends and fullbacks in addition to being WVU’s recruiting coordinator and associate head coach. Of course, knowledge means little when trying chase down Smith or speedy running back Noel Devine. “You have got to have great pursuit,” Holliday said. “All 11 players must be running to the ball relentlessly. Noel Devine at some point is going to make some plays.” Holliday grew up near current WVU assistant coach Steve Dunlap in Hurricane, about 30 miles from Marshall’s campus. The pair played high school football together and remain close friends. Dunlap’s sister even sent Holliday a text message before the Ohio State game. Meigs Glass also led the team in assists with 16, followed by Grueser with 13. Meigs was 67 for 72 (.931) serving in the game. The team totaled 30 kills, 29 assists, and one block in the win. Meigs also won the JV match by scores of 25-19 and 25-15 to improve to 2-0. The Lady Marauders will host Gallia Academy at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. from Page B1 points, and Miranda Grueser had three points. Stanley led the net attack with 10 kills, followed by Shellie Bailey with eight, Howard with six, Alison Brown with four, and Emily Kinnan with two. Howard had the team’s lone block. Rebels from Page B1 three blocks, Hill and Cummins each had two blocks, and Strang added one. The Lady Tornadoes were 72 percent passing for the game. South Gallia was led by Tori Duncan with 15 points. Chrissy Howell had 12 points, Tayler Title from Page B1 year’s tournament. Eastern claimed the title with scores of 25-19 and 26-24. Morrison and Jamie Swatzel each had six points to lead the team. For the tournament, Morrison led the team in points with 26, followed by Ally Hendrix with 22, Swatzel with 16, Beverly Maxson with 12, Brenna Holter with 10, Janae Boyles with eight, Baylee Collins with two and Brooke Johnson with one. Swatzel led the team at the net with 28 kills and four blocks. Maxson had 21 kills and one block, Holter added 15 kills, Morrison had six kills, Hendrix added six kills and two blocks, and Kiki Osborne and Kelsey Myers each had two kills. Hendrix tallied 48 assists in the seven sets. Swatzel added 26 assists and Breanna Hayman had two assists. Duncan had 11 points, Chandra Canaday added four points, and Ellie Bostic had three points. Southern hosts Trimble on Thursday at 6 p.m., while South Gallia will host Symmes Valley on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Wednesday, September 8, 2010 Boise State gains ground in AP Top 25 BY RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOCIATED PRESS More AP Top 25 voters are buying into Boise State as the No. 1 team in the country. Boise State gained seven first-place votes and closed in on No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State as the top three teams in the first regular season Associated Press football poll held their spots from the preseason. The Broncos remained third after a thrilling 33-30 victory against Virginia Tech on Monday night, receiving eight first-place votes and 1,399 points from the media panel, 13 points behind the Buckeyes. Ohio State received four first-place votes and 1,412 points. Alabama had 47 firstplace votes, down seven from the preseason poll, and 1,484 points in the rankings released Tuesday. TCU from the Mountain West Conference moved up two spots to No. 4, marking the first time since the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998 that two teams from conferences without automatic BCS bids have been in the top five. Boise State is the defending Western Athletic Conference champion. Texas remained No. 5 and received one firstplace vote. No. 8 Florida dropped four spots after a sloppy 34-12 victory against Miami (Ohio) and No. 10 Oklahoma fell three places after beating Utah State 31-24. The rest of the top 10 is Nebraska at No. 6, followed by Oregon, which moved up four spots after beating New Mexico 720. Iowa is No. 9. No. 13 Virginia Tech dropped three spots after Boise State scored a touchdown with 1:09 left Devils from Page B1 goal scoring spree the rest of the first half to take a 3-1 advantage into the intermission. Cody Robinson tied the contest at one after netting goal, with Jared Lester recording an assist on the shot. Alex Lyles followed with a goal — thanks to an assist from Caleb McKittrick — that gave GAHS a 2-1 advantage. Gallia Academy would to beat the Hokies at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Falling out of the rankings after close opening losses were Oregon State, Pittsburgh and North Carolina. Moving in were No. 20 Utah, No. 24 South Carolina and No. 25 Stanford. But the big story is Boise State and the Broncos very well could be the talk of college football all season. They entered Monday with their best preseason ranking and a legitimate chance to be national championship contenders — if they could beat the Hokies and then flawlessly navigate a schedule with no games more difficult than the first. Boise State jumped to a 17-0 first-quarter lead, watched that lead evaporate, then needed a twominute drill capped by a 13-yard touchdown pass from Kellen Moore to Austin Pettis to win its 15th straight game. “This was no fluke,” said voter Brett McMurphy of AOL Fanhouse, who had Boise State No. 1 this week. “(The Broncos) outgained Virginia Tech and hung 33 on the Hokies. The last two teams to score more than 30 against (defensive coordinator) Bud Foster’s defense — Alabama in 2009 and LSU in 2007 — went on to win the national title. “Will Boise? Who knows, but the Broncos deserve the top ranking for this week anyway.” The Broncos have finished the last two regular seasons with perfect records, but neither time was it enough to earn them a spot in the national championship game. They were beaten out by teams from the so-called power conferences with BCS automatic bids, teams like Alabama from the Southeastern Conference and Ohio State from the never trail the rest of the way. Shortly before the end of the first half, GAHS increased its edge after Jonathan Caldwell netted a pass from Lawrence Wedemeyer for a 3-1 contest at the break. Gallia Academy kept that momentum going into the second half, as Robinson netted a pass from Lester for a 4-1 advantage. After Jackson came up short on a penalty kick — thanks to a great anticipation save by GAHS goalie Zach Northup — the Ironmen Joe Jaszewski/Idaho Statesman/MCT Boise State receiver Austin Pettis pulls down the game winning touchdown against Virginia Tech at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on Monday as Boise State beat Virginia Tech 33-30. Big Ten. This season could be different. Boise State doesn’t have to climb over scores of teams to get into position to contend for a spot in the BCS title game, spots determined in large part by the coaches’ poll and the Harris poll. Boise State was third in the coaches’ poll this week, moving up two spots. The coaches also had Alabama first and Ohio State second. The Harris poll is not released until October. “We’ve just got a long tough hard season, and the bull’s-eye will continue to grow, and it’s just going to be one game at a time,” coach Chris Petersen said. Not hard enough to satisfy some people. Boise State plays at Wyoming in two weeks and gets a visit from Oregon State, which opened its season by losing 30-21 to TCU, the week after. The Beavers from the Pac-10 look like the best team left on Boise State’s schedule, but the Broncos have lost one regular-season game on their blue turf home field since 2001. Toledo also visits Boise State. As for the Broncos’ WAC competition, well, it’s been almost no competition for the Broncos the past decade. Boise State has won seven WAC titles and is 73-4 against conference opponents from 2000-09, a .948 winning percentage that is by far the best of any major college team. Texas is second-best with an .841 percentage (69-13) in the Big 12 over that time. Feeling it has outgrown the WAC, Boise State will be leaving the league after this season and joining the Mountain West. The best teams the WAC can throw at Boise State this season are probably Nevada and Fresno State, though Hawaii and Utah State flashed potent offenses while losing their openers to ranked foes. Fresno State comes to Boise on Nov. 19. The next week the Broncos have a road game at highscoring Nevada that on paper seems to be their toughest remaining test. They finish with Utah State at home on Dec. 4, the same day the SEC and Big 12 play its conference championship games. finally got back on the board after Aaron Jones netted a ball in the goal, cutting the deficit to 4-2. Robinson, however, sealed the deal with less than five minutes remaining after scoring his third goal of the night, wrapping up the hat trick and scoring at 5-2. Gallia Academy had 14 shots on goal in the contest, compared to only nine by the guests. Northup made seven saves in net for the hosts. Nate Ewing started in goal for Jackson and came out shortly before the first half ended, with JHS trailing 3-1. Chandler Fout finished out the contest in goal for Jackson, with both goalies combining for nine saves. The scoreboard was non-functional during most of the night, so times were not available for each goal. The junior varsity contest ended in a 1-all tie, with Gallia Academy scoring late in the second half to knot things up. Gallia Academy returns to SEOAL action Thursday when it hosts Warren at 5 p.m. WEDNESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
