Attack survivor wants condemned Ohio killer ·spared 'By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS - Bruce Graham was driving to Cincinnati one day in June 1983 when he stopped to pick up a hitchhiker carrying a red gas can. The tra\'eler, Michael Bcuke, pulled out a gun. ordered Graham to dri,';"e him to a secluded area, then shot him as soon as Graham stopped the car. Almo::.t three decades later. as Beuke faces execution next month for a related fatal shooung. Graham has forgiven his attacker and wants him spared. "I do not think one more life taken at this point would solve anything," Graham said in a letter to the Ohio Parole Board earlier this month. It's rare , but not unheard of. for family members of murder victims to ask for mercy for condemned killers. Graham's is a more unusual gesture, in part because few victims of c-ondemned inmates survive to make such requests. Graham says he came to his conclusion after meeting Beuke face-to-face in prison la:-.t month. "I wanted to know if he \\as reformed and had been rehabilitated.'' Graham said in his letter. "After meeting him and seeing him in person. 1 could tell he was sincere in his apology." Relatives of Beuke's other victims aren't so forgiving. Susan Craig. whose husband. Robert, was shot and killed by Beuke June I. 1983. said he took away her best friend. "Michael Beuke should not be granted clemency," she told the parole board. "He should ne,·er be allowed to walk w1th people again.'' Gregory Wahoff. who also survived an attack by Beuke but was seriously wounded. spent the rest of his life mostly paralyzed and in a wheelchair. He died in 2006 at age 51. His widow, JoAnn Walhoff, told the board Beuke shouldn't be spared. The board ruled unanimously against mercy for Beuke, saying the brutality of his crimes outweighed his personal and spiritual growth behind bars. Graham. of Rising Sun. Ind., has an unlisted phone number and did not respond to a letter seeking comment. Sewral Roman Catholic ministers and other prison volunteers say Beuke is a changed man who has become a model prisoner and is extremely remorseful for his crimes. Gov. Ted Strickland has the final say for Beuke, who is scheduled to die May 13. In Florida. SueZann Bosler fought against the death sentence that Jamc.S Campbell received for stabbing to death her father, the Rev. Billy Bosler, in 1986. Campbell also stabbed SueZann Bosler five times but she survived by playing dead. Campbell's death sentence 'vas overturned and he's now sen ing life in prison. Bosler, 47, knew her father was opposed to capital punishment and had once told her if he were murdered he wouldn't want a death sentence for his killer. Though she fought for his release from death row, Bosler said it took several years to truly feel she forgave Campbell. She felt unexpected freedom when she did, "I wa-. finally letting myself live life again after that moment," said Bosler. of Hollywood , Fla. Many family members of murder victims forgi'c perpetrators to let go of their anger and move on with their lives, said Beth Wood. executive director of Washington. D.C.-based Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation. That doesn't always mean they oppose a death sentence, since people differ over how to hold perpetrators accountable, Wood said. For people like Graham and Bosler, "What distinguishes them is they don't understand how the dealh penalty is going to fulfill any of their needs,'' Wood said. In Indiana in the 1980s, Bill Pelke led successful efforts to spare Paula Cooper. sentenced to die for stabbing Pelke's grandmother to death in her Gary home in 1985. In Illinois, sisters of murder victim Nancy Bishop Langert pushed to abolish the death penalty. Ln Texas, relatives of Andrew Lastrapes Jr. unsuccessfully opposed the 2004 execution of his killer, Dominique Green. In Ohio in 2002, family members of Emily Murray, a Kenyon College student shot by a pizla shop coworker. asked unsuccessfully that her killer receive a life sentence to spare the family further pain. In 2009. Strickland spared Jeffrey Hill, who robbed and killed his mother in a cocaine-induced rage. after Hill's relatives pleaded for mercy. Around Ohio Ohio teachers win big in lottery LANCASTER.

Tape of 1970 Kent St. shootings to be analyzed KENT (AP) - An analysis will be done on a tape that could answer a lingering ques- tion in the 1970 Kent State University campus shootings that killed four students. Nine other students were wounded by Ohio National Guardsmen during an antiwar protest. Three years ago shooting victim Alan Canfora reviewed a copy of an audio recording and said it show.s Guardsmen were ordered to shoot. The tape has dense background notse and it's not clear who's speaking. Now. a high-tech analysis is planned on the original May 4, 1970, recording made by Terry Strubbe.

The suspects are charged with conspiracy to commit sedition, or rebellion against government. and the weapons violations. Defense lawyers spent two days trying to persuade U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts that their clients should be released from jail until trial. A decision could come this Wl.!ek, Roberts challenged prosecutors on Wednesday to show how the group was launching an "irnminem lawle~s action.'' a key condition under a 1969 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors. howe,er, said the judge instead should refer to the case of Omar Abdel-Rahman. a blind sheik who \\a~ convicted in 1995 of urging follower; to commit violence against U.S. landmarks in New York and New Jersev. A federal appeals court found that Abdei-Rahman was encouraging others to take. a violent path and was not protected by the First Amendment. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Waterstreet said. In the Hutaree case, "the prosecution of the defendants for conspiracy is appropriate in order to prevent the conspiracy from ripening into actual violent actions,'' Waterstreet said in (. a filing 'thursday. Prosecutors say the mili tia plotted to kill police officers as a first step toward broader violence. Defense lawyers say it's just a case of irrational speech, not sedition. William Swor. the lawyer for Hutaree leader D~vid Stone of Clayton, Mich., urged Roberts to disregard the government's latest filing, noting the judge did not invite additional arguments when she closed the detention heann¥ Wednesday. Meanwhile, Roberts on Thursday released an audio CD that was played in court Tuesday, along with a transcript. The conversations were secretly recorded Feb. 20 by an undercover agent who had infiltrated Hutan::e. Prosecutors played it as evidence that Stone and his allies were intent on killing police officers. "I think \\'C gotta just sta. huntin' ·em here pretty soo ... They're easy to find, they're sittin' alongside the road and they got these red and blue lights on top of their car.'' Stone tells five others and the undercover agent. Michael Meeks, 40, of Manchester, Mich., replied: "It's like a Kmart super special or whate\er." At times. they laugh, imitate the nobe of guns and talk about poison. strippers, Chinese troops and United Nations forces - people in "magical blue helmets.'' But they don't refer to specific people they might be targeting.

II Cor. 12:9 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at, man looks at the outward appearance, the Lord looks aJ the heart. 2 Samuel16-7b j,J / �PageA7 The Daily Sentinel Friday, April 30, 2010 A Hunger for More Many Christians today, it seems to me, live a life of wandering. They wander from teaching to teaching, to drift to what sounds most like at they want to hear about God. .. e world, and themselves. But they also wander from experience to experience, seeking something that wtll satisfy them on the one hand without requiring full surrender on the other. Christianity that is characterized by shallow and self-absorbed worship and teaching is reminiscent of the spirituality of Cain in Genesis chapter 4. Cain was a "religious·· man. He worshiped, he tithed, he had what could be called a "relationship wjth God." In terms ofpracti<;e. he is probably as good an example in ancient times to a typical Christian in our Post-Modern one. Of course. Cain's "practice'' was the outflow of his heart's attitude. His "practice'' can hardly be said to be more than mediocre and was therefore unfulfilling to himself and unremarkable to its intended recipient. God. It had more to do with ritual (religious habit devoid of passion) than it did with genuine worship. It had more to do with the easement of God (the minimum . essary to 1'get God off his back'') . .n it did with atonement (the bridging of the distance that his sinful nature created with God). His worship had onl) to do with obliging God (fulfilling his obligation) and nothing whatsoever with pleasing His Creator. This lackluster fa9ade of false spirituality pales in comparison to a life authentically given over to its Maker. that of Abel. Cain's little brother. Abel, seems to really "get it,'' in contrast to Cain, who quite clearly doesn't "get it." Abel's life resonates with worship that is a melody of genuine devotion and delight in God. His heart's desire is for more than a "touch of God" but of close and sustained communion with Him. This attitude of worship outshines Cain's offering as brightly as does the sun outdo the faint glow of an open cell phone. Abel d6es not want to just fulfill his obligation. he craves to surpass it and please God with his focu~ed and lavish worship. When God looked on Abel's offerthe genuine nature of it was .r because Abel gave his best and st dibs" to God (see Genesis 4:4). Cain presumably surmised that God was not taking Cain's offering at ' face value but was judging it based on what Abel was giving (as if God preferred sirloin steak to garden salad with scallions and bacon bits - or vise-versa). It's that age-old habit of ours to assume that estimations of our worth are derived from comparisons with others. But it doesn't work that way. Our value is not relative to others; it is absolute and the Lord's estimation of our worth is independent of how others are behaving, what they can do. or Thom Mollohan what they may be giving. The fact is that the "what" is less important to God than the "how." God would not overlook the fact that Cain's worship was lukewarm at best nor docs He do so now. Some might give this passage in Genesis a shallow reading. To them it might suggest that God favors sheep ranchers to dirt farmers. but that would be as silly as saying that the Lord likes plumbers over restaurant managers (or restaurant managers over plumbers), doctors over information technologists (or the reverse), and so on. But take it from a former career counselor, Cain's "vocation" was not the problem. His problem was his heart's attitude. No doubt you have heard the story of Cain and Able. Cain became jealous of Abel's favor with God. Basically, Abel was getting something out of h1s "religion" that Cain was not. Cain started jealous and then became <;uspicious. imagining in his heart that Abel's wonderful spiritual life was all pretense and pride. Maybe. in a typically human wa) of underestimating God, he c\en wondered if Abel was doing something down and dirty behind Cain's back to get God to like him. Who knows? What we do know is that. as his bitterness festered and grew in his heart, he moved from being suspicious to injurious. exploding in an eruption of violence that left Abel dead. I doubt, b) the way, that it was a murder of passion. My inclination is that it was calculated ... although stupid - as if God wouldn't notice or hadn't seen what had happened. Cain did not comprehend the "ever-present" and ''allknowing" nature of God. But God sav.. He knew. Just as He sees and knows today what is going on in our hearts and minds. "Cainitic spirituality" abounds today but it still has a knacJ< for being shortsighted. Not only that, it leaves us thoroughly unsatisfied. Sadly, instead of submitting to the grace that. God gives us through His Word in challenging our attitudes as His Spirit strives to help us see the roadblocks that lie within us (e.g., anger, see verses 6-10), we imagine that the fault lies with the one who is spiritually alive and passionate: he evidently has some sort of satis- . faction that we crave for· ourselves, a rich and passionate experience with God, so we become seeded with jealousy. Just as in Cain's case. it produces in time a crop of injury against our brothers through unjust criticisms, disassociations. or violence. This is not to say that we do not engage error or attitude that grieves God's Spirit or that leads the unsuspecting from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. On the contrary! But churches often have a way trying to snuff out the "Abels" among them. because their desire for ''more of God" and their generous spirit towards the Lord makes others feel uncomfortable with their own ho-hum religious life. Folks often despise being reminded that there may be something missing that they really do want, but to possess must be willing to give up everything. In the end, of course. God deals with Cain's murder of his brother by sending him away. Cain ventures out east of the garden of Eden to the land of Nod ("Nod" means wan.dering). In a way, Christians today are dwelling in their own "Land of Nod." In ancient times. Cain and his descendents built a great civilization. It grew and spread and seemed to be flourishing. But it at last came to nothing when the destruction of the great Flood swept over the earth after a lengthy process of increasing immorality, anarchy, and futility. But another son was born to Adam and Eve. trumping the evil that Cain intended when he killed Abel. Through Seth the Abelitic spirit of worship was preserved even through the cataclysm of the Great Flood of Noah ·s day. It was the descendents of Seth who shone in a spiritually dark society (the civilization of Cain's lineage) by "calling on the name of the Lord" (see verse 26). proclaiming Him even though those around them had descended into wickedness and perversion. What kind of Christian do you want to be? A "Cainitic Cliristian" or an "Abelitic Christian?" One who is lukewarm and does only what is minimally necessary or one who lavishes upon God the best he has to offer? One who contents himself with the meager fruit of a nominal Christian life or one ~ ho hungers for more of Guu in thi::. life? In a world full of "Cains," God is looking for more "Abels." It is time to leave the Land of Nod and embark upon the greatest adventure of all. Open your heart to God. give Him your life. and let Him make Himself known to you as you follow His Son ... in Spirit and in truth (see John 4:23-24).

Search the Scriptures '~hey searched the scriptures daily, whether these things were so" "For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning. that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope" (Romans 15:4). For us, in our time. to correctly and faithfully serve God. there are things we must learn from the Old Testament writers. Today. we'll look at two principles we can learn from "things written · aforetime." One thing we learn from "things written aforetime" is God is a jealous God. He will not share a person's heart with another "god,'' whether that "god" be a graven image. another person, wealth, power, or prestige. Hear Him: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, ... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for r the Lord thy God am a jealous God ... .''(Exodus 20:3-5b). God has never left man without a law. In past columns, we've looked at both the Patriarchal law and the Mosaic law. Upon leaving Egypt, Israel could have entered the promised land in a short time. However. 10 men so discouraged the nation that because of"unbelief' (Heb. 3:17-19). they wandered 40 years until the men aged 20 years upward died. Of the group who left Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb entered the promised land; they believed God would give them the land, and urged obedience to God's command to take it (Num. 13:17 through 14:45). At the end of the 40 years. and under the leadership of Joshua, God assured them He had given them victory over the city of Jericho. God told them all the gold, silver, the vessels of brass and iron found in Jericho were to be consecrated to Him (Joshua 6:18.19). " ... Achan took of the devoted thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel" (Joshua 7:lb). Joshua, not yet aware of Achan's sin, sent 3000 soldiers to take the little city of Ai. Israel was defeated in that battle, for God was not with Israel due to Achan 's sin (Joshua 7: 11.12). A second thing we learn from "things written aforetime" is that the ~in of a few can bring down God's wrath upon an entire nation. Thirty-six soldiers of Israel died at Ai because A chan did not follow God's command that all valuables from Jericho be consecrated to Him. Joshua 7: 16-26 records Achan's fate. What about us today? Do we feel we have a right to live our individual lives as we choose? Laws made by our federal, state. and local officials protect us and others. There arc laws regarding speed on the highways. laws regarding safety of our foods.laws regarding workplace safety, to name a few. We understand the importance of obeying such laws. God says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; ... " (Psalm 33: 12); "Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people'' (Proverbs 14:34); "the wicked shall be turned into. hell, and all nations that forget God'' (Psalm 9: 17). May each of us learn the lessons v.'hich were written aforetime. Citizens who search the scriptures and bring their life into line with God's commands will be a blessing to America.

May 3. at ~the Sacred Heait Catholic Church. Young new pastor at Trinity UMC PORTER. Ohio ~ The Rev. David Young is the new pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Potter. A native of Waynesville. Ohio. Young served in the U.S . .Marine Corps prior to completing a bachelor's degree in theology and a master's degree in patoral counseling. Young married his high school sweetheart. Spring. and they have three children. Andrew. Joshua and Samuel. The Youngs believe the ministry is a way of life and share the calling as a couple. Together. they have 22 years of ministerial experience. The Youngs maintain an open door polic) at the parsonage and say they love to have company. Young and his sons recently started a Christian-themcd martial mts class for children that meets each Saturday morning at Trinity UMC and each Monday and Thursday during the after-school program at River Valley Middle School. Young also ministers at Simpson Chapel lJnited :V1ethodist Church in Rio Grande. On occasion. high school umpires make a wrong base call or they miss the correct call for a pitch. However. the truth of the matter is that fans and coaches· are more often wrong in their judgment of strikes and balls. and of safe and out. The key factor for coach and fan bias has to do with angle. Angle is everything when it comes to applying fair and accurate judgment. What brings this to mind actually comes from Scripture. but this Scriptural point is exemplified by a recent on-field example. I was working the plate when ·a batter hit a shot \.Vi thin approximately five feet of the third base line .. It v,·as obviously fair. and I pointed into fair territory - as is the expected umpiring mechanic - to communicate fairball. After playing action was completed. the opposing coach. who was located in the dugout along the first base line. came out to the plate, and asked. "Are you sure that was a fair ball'? My third baseman was all the way in foul territory." I replied. "Coach, that ball was clearly in fair territory." Later. as his team was preparing to bat. he walked by me, and commented. ··I didn "t have the right angle from where I was for that call. but I thought i would ask." I replied again. "Coach. that ball was so far in fair tenitory I \.VOI'Idered why you even had to ask." But, the problem was proper angle. I had it. He did not have it. The exact same concern factors in with the issues or' life that so often confront us. Paul tries to get us to recognize the importance of con·ect spiritual angle as he \\TOte. "We glory i!1 tribulationS', knowing that tribulation works patience. and patience works experience. and experience works hope." Paul could make such a Holy Spirit inspit:ed assessment that it \.vas right ' to glory in tribulations because he had the right spiritual angle. Paul understood that the tribulations we go through are more valuable than we may consider. and he sought to show the spiritual angles by which we may be comforted when we go through difficult times. The truth of the matter is all too often the people of the church demonstrate selfish atti- Ron Branch tudes during times of discomfort to the body. mind, and soul. The flip-side of the coin is that such times should produce Christian results and .Christian attitudes. That is why we should understand ourselves that tribulations are actually good for building patience. which refers to perseverance. During times of tribulation. we Jearn the priority of faithfulness from begin~. ning to end. That is why we sho understand ourselves that · perseverance· is good for building experience, which refers specifically to character. God expects that the character of Christ become more prominent in our lives. That is why we should understand ourselves that character, builds hope. When one has hope. one has stability in the heart and mind. Do you absolutely have hope in the truths and promises of God? Those are the sources for being in possession of Christ-like stability. Not all things are good, but God always works out good for those that love Him. Therefore. it is imperative that \ve view our difficulties from a Godly angle. The rub is that some people have it, and bring glory to God in the process. By -c trast. others do not hav and show themselves to merely whiners and complainers. But. then again . even proper angle does not mean much to some fans. During a game this week. a certain lady was sitting directly behind home plate. The pitcher delivered a fast ball belt-high on the batter right down the middle of the plate. A moment after I made the strike call, her little voice rather wafted with . "I just don't believe that was a strike:· Both the batter and catcher turned toward me, and. together, we just shook our heads. It was funn). (Ret.

Earnhardt Jr. drove the No. 3 twice in 2002 in NASCAR 's second-tier series. and Richard Childress, who controls the number, is allowing his grandson, Austin. to use it in the Truck Series this season. ''This was an idea that came up as a way to pay tribute to my dad," Earnhardt Jr. said. "The Wrangler car is definitely in the top- I0 of coolest cars that have ever been on the race track. A lot of people identify with it, and 1 can't think of a better way to honor my dad and celebrate his induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame than to bring the Wrangler colors back with the No. 3 on the side.'' Earnhardt will be inducted as part of the inaugural Hall of Fame class on May 23. The idea to bring the No. 3 back was a collaborative effort between Earnhardt Jr., who will use a car from JR Motorsports, Teresa Earnhardt, who controls her late husbands' legacy, and Richard Childress Racing, the . team Earnhardt drove for during the bulk of his career. The appearance together Hendrick tells Gordon, ~ Johnson to smooth things Over at HMS • BY DAN GELSTON ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA - Fourtime defending N ASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson says team owner Rick Hendrick told him and teammate Jeff Gordon not to Jet their bubbling feud start ''breaking apart the organization.'' Johnson. Gordon and Hendrick spoke together on the phone this week to smooth over a rough patch in the relationship between the drivers. The pair of four-time Cup champions and Hendrick Motorsports teammates tangled on the track in successive weeks, leading Gordon to lash out at Johnson after Sunday's race at Talladega Superspeedway. Johnson said Hendrick understood they are competitive drivers who just want to win. But Hendrick didn't want the rivalry to split apart the race teams that work so closely together. Johnson said Hendrick told him, "You guys need to voice your opinions. handle things on the track as you see fit, but let's not Jet this carry on too far and affect the race shop." Johnson made a mistake that ultimately led to Gordon's wreck at Talladega. That came a week after the two had a run-in at Texas Motor Speedway. Johnson says he was surprised that Gordon. also a four-time Cup champion, lashed out at him on national TV after Sunday's race. He says his relationship with Gordon has changed over the years. They were close friends who "were running hard, having a blast" as single guys, but are now more likely as married family men to discuss diapers and strollers. In Philadelphia on Thursday to promote the May 16 Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway, Johnson said he didn't mind having Gordon as his rival. "The tension at times, it makes you dig in deeper and fighter harder and work harder." he said. "The more competitive we are, as a team, the better we· re going to make our organization. We've got four awesome drivers." Johnson already took the blame for a mistake that caused Gordon to crash at Talladega. Gordon who drove his damaged car to a 22ndplace finish, was furious with his teammate after the race. "The 48 is testing my patience, I can tell you that,'' Gordon said Sunday at Talladega. ··It takes a lot to make me mad." Johnson said that after their conversation, he realized Gordon was speaking out of frustration. · "He's had such a good year going. A few victories have slipped through his fingers, wrecked cars late in the race," Johnson said. ''I was like the straw that broke the camel's back. When the microphone w~s there, it was easy just to go." Thursday was the first time Earnhardt Jr. has been in public with his stepmother since announcing in 2007 he was leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc .. the team his late father started but had been run by Teresa Earnhardt since his death. Asked how things might be different if her father were still alive, Earnhardt's sister, Kelley. said the DEI relationship would still be going on. .. If he was here, I'm pretty sure we'd all still be together ... Dale Jr. would have never left DEL" Kelley Earnhardt said. Keselowski hit up for 50 points AssociATED PREss CHARLOTTE, N.C.- NASCAR docked Brad Keselowski 50 points in the Nationwide Series because his car failed inspection following his win at Talladega Superspeedway. Keselowski 's lead in the Nationwide standings dropped from 60 points to 10 after Wednesday's penalty. The penalties were 25 points each for an unapproved left-front spring and an unapproved right-front shock when Keselowski's Dodge was inspected following the victory Sunday. His win stands . Crew chief Paul Wolfe was fined $20,000 for the two infractions, and Jodi Geschickte1m, who is listed as the car owner because of a points swap he made with Penske Racing, was docked 50 points in the · owner standings. Penske Racing president Tim Cindric said the team will not appeal the penalties, but believes part failures contributed to the failed inspection. "We are confident that there was no intent on behalf of Paul Wolfe, or any other member of the No. 22 team. to circumvent NASCAR 's rules," Cindric said in a statement. . NASCAR confiscated the shock and spring after the race. Montoya on a mission to make the chase BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Juan Pablo Montoya followed the numbers on a detailed chart last season, when his crew chief mapped out exactly how the driver needed to finish each race to qualify for his first Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The plan worked to perfection as Montoya, racing conservatively, improved at nearly every track and earned one of the coveted 12 spots in the Chase field. It would make sense, then, for Montoya to again rely on crew chief Brian Pattie's color-coded blueprint to contend for his first NASCAR championship this season. Only problem? All that carefully calculated math went out the window when Montoya finished 34th or worse in four of the first eight races this season. "He isn't even looking at the numbers now, I can tell you that," Montoya said. "After (Texas), I asked where are we, he said 'I don't knqw, I don't care, let's just go out and try to win some races."' That's the exact opposite of how Pattie persuaded Montoya to race last season, when aggressive setups and on-track gambles were shunned in favor of smart driving big-picture thinking. and Rutland Bottle Gas Serving you for over 60 years 740-742-2511 1-800-837-8217 www.rutlandbottlegas.com Gallipolis • The Plains • Jackson Torch • Logan • McConnelsville • Rutland Montoya entered his third season resemble a "checkers-or-wreckers" ground last weekend at Talladega, of Sprint Cup racing with a grand season.

With a mi~sion statement based on the commitment to ..creating successful lives," Buckeye Hills Career Center has become one of the premier career and technical education institutions in Jhe state of Ohio and the l\IidOhio Valley region. Under the leadership of Superintendent Kent D. Lewis and Director Truman e, BHCC has expanded roster of educational erings for students at the schools it serves. "We help create successful lives through the quality of our staff working on that same 1111SSiOn to make sure students are prepared to enter whatever level of education or career they wish to pursue," Noe said. The Gallia-Jackson-Vinton Joint Career-Technical School District, which Buckeye Hills serves. includes the . following school districts: Gall ia County LocaL Gallipolis City, Jackson City, Oak Hill Union LocaL Vinton County Local and Wellston City. Buckeye Hills unveiled a $20 million renovation project during the school's annual expo held the weekend of April 17-18, 2010. According to Lew·is, the Ohio School Facilities nrnission (OSFC) proed 75 percent of the • ding for the project while Buckeye Hills was responsible for the other 25 percent. He said good planning allowed the district to conduct the project without having to tum to local residents for dollars through a levy. ' "We foresaw our ability to participate in the (OSFC) program about 6-7 years ago," Lewis said. "I could see our chance coming and every year I took a little bit of money over to the side so we were able to come up with our match by squirreling it away over about 6-7 · years." Lewis said Buckeye Hills students come from seven high schools in the six school districts it serves. v. ith primary focus on juniors and seniors. The following 2-year technical prorams are available for high chool students: l • • Administrative Office Assistant • Agricultural and Diesel ~kchanics • Architectural Computer Aided Drafting • Auto Collision Technology • Auto Service Technology-Tech Prep • Building Trades • Bulding and Grounds Maintenance • Business/Computer Technology-IT Tech Prep • Child Care • Computt!r Aided Drafting/Computer Aided Manufacturing/CNC • Cosmetology • Culinary Prep • Electronic Communications Systems-IT Tech Prep • Food Preparation • Health Academy: Diversified Health Occupations and Diversified Cooperative Health Occupations • Into to Health Information Management Tech Prep • Patient Care Technician Tech Prep • Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning/Plumbing/Ele ctrical • Public Safety • Precision Machining Technologies • Retail and Marketing • Welding .. Students in those programs spend half of their day in their career-technical laboratory teacher; the other half of the day in their academics," Lewis said. "Each student will get a math, science. social science and English credit each of the two years." Lev.•is said Buckeye Hills also reaches out to several of the high schools in its district. providing programs on the school campuses. "We do agriculture at Oak Hill and Gallipolis City and we do information technology in six different high schools," he said. ··we do some home economics in Wellston. We do IT in Yinton County, so we're kind of spread out that way. Most people don't even realize those are our teachers and that's how we "Want it, so the) blend right into those programs." Lewis the original intent of Buckeye Hills programming was to help young people gain the skills needed for entry level employment, but the mission has expanded over the years. "In the last 10 years, the focus has become entry level employment and preliminary training for advanced training to an associate degree," he said. "That's where the term 'tech prep' comes from: two years of career/technical. two years of an associate degree." Lewis said Buckeye Hills also focuses on providing industry-recognized, credentialed instructors who will help the students reach their goals even faster. "For example, a welding_ student, if they can leave with an American Welding Society credential and meet their test, 1t's much more meaningful to an employer," he said. "Our nursing students can get phlebotomy certification, State Tested Nurse Aid, EKG certification. In our high school public safety program, students could get the Ohio Peace Officers Private Security (credential), EMT and Level I Firefighter Training. For each of thos~, we hire in someone with the right credentials." Buckeye Hills also offers a unique program for low incidence special education students that is not available at any other JVS in the state of Ohio. "We've got five units of multiple impaired, one emotional disorder unit, hearing impaired and we do the physical tht:rapy for all of our districts." Lewis said. "It has a heavy emphasis on community, integration. Then we're able to walk them into career and technical training programs.'' Lewis said the program has allowed Buckeye Hills to integrate many children with special needs into career and . technical programs who may never have had the confidence to leave their horne schools. "That's a big difference for a vocational school to be involved in special education the way that we are," Lewis said. Lewis said Buckeye Hills also provides a variety of educational and training opportunities for adults in southeastern Ohio and the Mid-Ohio Valley region. The following programs are offered through the Adult Center for Lifelong Learning at Buckeye Hills: • Business/Computer • Business/Industry Customized Programs Mta~ie ~etarrs aa~ecatre eernterr~, ·\\. ' • Health • Human Services • Industryffechnology • Public Safety • Service Programs "Generally speaking. the adult programs will tend to mirror the high school programs. but not to a one-toone relationship," Lewis said. "Welding is pretty much a direct mirror. But in health, we tend to go to a higher level in the 7tdult program. In health, we do practical nursing (LPN) instead of State Tested Nurse Aid.

The group serves as a support system for parents of autistic children. from very mild to quite severe. While Cundiff herself does not ha\e an autistic child, she recognized that parents have a lot to deal with when raismg an autistic child. which is why she stressed the importance of the support group. Cundiff described the group as being somethi:1g to help ease the day to day life of parents with <)utistic children. "I try to help them by giving them a topic and then I let the parents expand on it.'' she said. "Autism is· really growing. We are seeing a lot more diagnosis.

Dr. H. Keith Spears. dean of Adult and Extended Education. .opened the center's office 111 1994 with limited hour(.;. A core of five courses \\as established for the fall semester. From th.lt point on, steady growth has occurred. For example. the center has expanded to pro' ide graduate programs. According to Dr. Rudy Pauley, assocwte vice principal of outreach and continuing studil·s. the center will be offering graduate course work in leadership studies, which is for those wishing to be school adminic;trutors and those rested in obtaining • 1r school principal certifications. ln addition, the center will offer classes in reading education, which are geared tow ani school teachers who would like to obtain their reading spccialilation.. MOVC alc;o offers course work toward a full masters degree in elementary or secondary education. ''This is a degree for currently licensed teachers or practicing teachers." Paule) said. Aside from education studies. the center offers course work toward three masters degrees in the nursing program, including nursing education. nursing administration and nurse practioncr. According to Pauley, the center also has a variety of general education classes a\ailable. "We offer the 2:eneral education core courses for most decrees at MOVC: Students ~can get the first two years of their general education requirements at MOVC and then they can go to the main campus to complete their special degree requirements:· he said. Homer Preece. president of MOVC. stressed that when students go from MOVC to attending Marshall\ main campus. there is no paperwork required as t\10\'C is not a separate entity of Marshall Universi- ty. Preece also sa1d that he was pleased the center is now offering graduate course work. ''I'm ~o very happy that we have the opportunity to work with the graduate college and to expand the opportunities here ~ this is really a great opportunity to the tri-county area:' he added. The center also expanded in 2007 with a nursing and science addition. With the addition, students arc offered cour~es in biology. chemistry and physical science in a state-of-the-art facility.

We live in a society that'~ growing increasingly isolated. What we want to do is have our kids be involved in real people-topeople contact." OVCS operates as a chartered, non-public school by the Ohio Department of Educatron (as of July 28, 2006). O"Donnell said OVCS excelled in all areas of its charter preparation from its philosophical statements of Christian education. its teachers· professional degrees and qualification. its curriculum and its community relationships and ministry. O'Donnell said OYCS students enjoyed a 100 percent passage rate on the Ohio Graduation Test. Additionally. OVCS students scored an average of 23.82 on the ACT compared to the Ohio average of 21.6. OVCS has expanded its usc of technology, O'Donnell said. adding more computers and "smart boards" to assist students and teachers. "'We want to familiarize our kids with technology and the tools that are available to them ... he said. "I want all of our kids to be computer literate when they leave here."

Following are some accomplishments during th~ past year as well as plans for the near future. Digital Mammography system purchased O'Bleness Memorial Hospital added a new accredited digital mammography systen1 in November. The state-of-the-art system was purchased with S500.000 in funds raised during a two-year campaign conducted by the O"Blene.ss Development Council. a p of about 70 volun. Through the fundrais•1 e efforts. equipment and digital software were purchased that allow computerized mammographic images to be created, displayed and stored through a filmless system. Since a digital image can be transferred immediately to a radiologist to interpret. information can be sent to the prescribing physician and results !!iven to the patient in a very short time. The digital system has proven to have additional enhanced benefits for patients and physicians. OveralL digital mammography has been shown to be more effective than conventional film mammography for early detection of suspicious lesions in some youn.ger populations of women . Digital mammogincreases the rate of detection of some canand enhances images to detect disease in dense breast tissue. Mammography technologists at O'Bleness are credentialed and have completed specialized training in digital mammography. Recognized as a certified Pink Ribbon Facility. O"Bleness recently joined an elite group of facilities across the country that share the commitment to raising the standard of care for every patient. O'Bleness performed about 4.000 mammograms during the past year at its imaging satellite in the Castrop Center ncar the hospital. The mission of O"Bleness· breast care program is to reach more women with improvements in the early detection of breast cancer. O'Bieness Emergency Department enhancing capabilities O'Blene!>s' Emergency Department (ED) is improving capabilities for providing quality care to patients. These improvement::. include equipment upgrades, bedside registration · and additional patient space. The ' O'Blcness Development Council currently is raising funds to cover the costs - expected to be $500.000. Various projects have begun. as charitable gifts of $13 7,000 have been committed already. One room has been renovated for treatment of patients with eye, ear. nose and throat (ENT) problems. Also in the plan is creating new space for triage. as well as for examinations. In addition, a space has been designated to isolate pat1ents with infectious symptoms from patients in the main waiting area. Recent expenses include $35.000 for two new cardiac monitor/defibrillators as well as S II ,ooo·for ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes used with ENT patients. A Iso planned are 12 new cardiac monitors that will allow a dot.en patients to be monitored simultaneously through a central station. Bedside registration for patients brought to the hospital by a...mbulance is improving the tlow of patients through the ED.

RIDE Page22 """ Friday, April 30, 2010 Mason County Schools embraces digital age POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. ·'The Information Age. also commonly known as the Computer Age or Information Era, is an idea that the current age will be characterized by the ability of individuals to transfer information freely. and to have instant access to knowledge that would have been difficult or impossible to find previously. The idea is linked to the concept of a Digital Age or Digital Revolution, and carries the ramifications of a shift from traditional ' industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialiLation. to an economy based on the manipulation of infonnation.'' So says Wikipedia. a popular online encyclopedia found at tittp://w~w.wikipedia.org. The Mason County Board of Education and administration recently established several new initiatives that embraces the idea of an Information Age or Digital Age as well a-; expanding already existing methods of utilizing advanced technology. The district has made extensive use of student and financial data management systems as well as email for several years. In additiOn. electronic scheduling and grading is well established in the disttict. In recent years. the district has added Edline which is an Intern t-based communication system between the school. teachers and parents. Edline is a school-based web page application that allows parents to see their child's grades. view assignments and communicate with the teacher The district's web page (http://www.edline.net/pages/mcbo ewv) also has a variety of infonnation such as calendars. board policies. board meeting agendas and minutes, staff directory infonnation as well as information about specific departments within the district. Recently. the Board of Education has approved the implementation of a series of advanced technologJes that will provide for a more efficient and effective operation of the district. Some of those technologies include: • Board Docs - Board Docs is an Internet-based syste.m that will allow the district to go paperless in the area of board agendas and minutes. The Board Docs system will contain all the information that the Board of Education traditional receives for its meetings but will be completely online. The system will also allow parents and citizens to access the basic board agenda online even at home. Also, the board minutes will be accessible through the Board Docs system. • NEOLA - The Board of Education has extensive board policies to deal with all aspects of the school system. Keeping these upto-date and readily available is a daunting task. The district recently entered into an agreement with, NEOLA - Tools for Schools which is a document management system that will organize and make available online board bylaws and policies, administrative guidelines and procedures. forms, student/parent handbooks. and staff handbooks. There are several committees currently working on reviewing existing board policies to ready them for implementation into the NEOLA system. Implementation is expected yAugust2010. Transfindcr - This is a school bus routing software system that includes GPS fleet tracking. fleet maintenance. and field trip management for pupil transportation. Transfinder is scheduled for implementation for the 20 l 0-2011 school year. • School Messenger - Ensuring that timely notifications are made to parents on school related issues is always a challenge. The old fashion "telephone tree" is simply ineffective today. The School Messenger is a system that will call all parents and guardians either on a district basis for school closings and other district-related events or individual schools for Put ASp i ~g Back II Your Step... r·me To See Us! school-related events. Jt is important that parents and guardians keep the schools informed of telephone number changes as the system utilizes the school-based student data for phone numbers. • Smartfind Express Srnartfind Express is an employee notification system that allows employees to utilize either their phone or a computer to notify the district and school of their absence. The system also notifies the appropxiate substitute employees of the positions available on any given day and allows them to indicate that they· will accept or decline that assignment. • ERO (Electronic Register Online) - ERO is an online application and approval system for professional development that is integrated with the Smartfind Express employee notification system. When an employee applies for professional leave through ERO it automatically provides appropriate information to the SmaxtFind system. Both of these systems are also integrated into the district's payroll system making electronic data sharing possible and the payroll process more efficient. • identiMetrics Another process that schools often strugg. with is the identification of st dents going through the June line. Some students pay full price while others receive a Federally subsidized free or reduced pJice lunch. Being able to identify the students in each category in an efficient and confidential manner is important. The Mason County Schools implemented identiMetrics. a biometric finger scanning process a few years ago that accomplishes this task while maintaining complete confidentiality. It is efficient. fast and completely accurate. "Going Green" is a popular buzz phrase in America today. The Mason County School District is doing their part in this effort to have a positive impact on our environment by reducing the amount of paper consumed made possible by the use of technology.

When many think of allergies and allergic disease, they often think only of hay fever, a condition characterized by itchy. sneezy. stuffy, runny nose apd itchy eyes. Many don't realize that the majority of asthma is due to alle1·gies. Other conditions such as atopic dermatitis or eczema are predominantly caused by allergies. People can develop allergies to medication::.. foods or even insect stings, all of · which can be very serious.

The cost of these conditions to the health care system is staggering in terms of lost work and school days. decreased ability to work \Vhen on the job and direct costs such as doctor visits and medications. The treatment of allergic disease has advanced quite a bit in recent years.

Ohio GKN Sinter Metals traces its root back to the picturesque countryside of !\6uthem Wales. \\here. in 1759, the company started a' the Dowlais Iron Co., which was founded and owned by the Guest family. By the early 1900s. the company had grown and formed a partner::.hip wJth the Patent Nut & Holt Co .. owned by Arthur Keen. and Nettletolds Ltd. The three then joined forTes to become Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds. thus GKN was born. It 4uickly became the largest producer of iron, steel and coal in the Umted Kingdom and received royal recoytition in July 1912 when King George V vi-,ited Dowlai<; to v1ew the operation. Since that merger in 1905. GKN has expanded to become a global leader in producing part!:> for usc by the aero::.pace and automotive industries.

Ohio Born out of Plant Manage1 Annette Hope's desire to see Ohio Valley Electric Company's Kyger Creek Plant more involved in community service, the Kyger Creek Community Action Committee was formed in October 2009. Their first project. a Christmas Angel Tree for Gallia County needy children, was small but an overwhelming success. Committee Vice President Wanda Jordan said the entire plant chipped in to help and names disappeared off the tree soon after being placed. In addition, the committee donated money to a Meigs County foodbank, the HaitRelief Fund and ourners Care Network. reasurer Melanie Simpson said due to the plant's current work load, time to meet and decide on future projects has been limited. However, they are still managing to raise money through split-the- pot drawings to help build the committee's fund. "Besides our committee, there are people here who just give and give.''' said Simpson. In addition to community projects. OVEC employees take care of their own through benefit dinners and donations for employees struggling with a sick loved one. Committee President Adam Loveday· said the committee plans to branch out to more children and possibly other communities with the 20 l 0 Angel Tree project, will donate to the hriners Hospital for Chilen and Sojourners Care etwork and are planning a . t ......... -~~- .~-~~----~--..._~-- RIDE Friday, Apri1•30, 2010 t --..........- -- ----....----- walk for charity. ''Everybody is just generous beyond belief." said Simpson. "Had it not been for the employees that work here, we would have nothing," said Loveday. "It doesn't matter what your raising money for or how many times you ask, the employees donate. You've never met a more gracious bunch of people than what you'll find here at this plant." The plant is also in the process of restarting the Kyger Creek Little League Tournament for Little League boys and Junior girls. Employees are in the process of revamping the ballfield and is planned for mid-July. While the plans are still in the beginning stages, Jake Richie said the tournament committee is working on the tournament rules, contacting coaches and looking for sponsors for the tournament. "The tournament is for all regular season teams:· said Richie. "No all-star teams.'' For more information on or to sponsor the Little League Tournament contact Richie at (740) 578 6169. On December 5, 1955, three years and one day from the date that Ohio's Governor Frank Lausche broke ground, the fifth and last unit at the Kyger Creek plant located in Cheshire. was rolled with steam for the first time. The five units have a capability of 1.075,000 KW, which was equal to more than one-sixth of the combined capacity of all power plants in the state of Ohio in 1 1956. At the time. the Kyger Creek plant and its sister plant, Clifty Creek (located in Madison. Ind.) also had the distinction of being the largest power plants in the world ever built by private enterprise. September 1956. In according to the Federal Power Commission, the Kyger Creek plant earned another distinction as being the most efficient steamelectric generating station in the world with a heat rate of 9,110 BTU/KWH of net generation. Each of the 1 I story boilers contain 150 miles of high pressure piping and are capable of generating over one million lb/hr steam at 1050°F. . The five boilers were retrofitted with the following additional pollution control equipment: Flakt precipitators in 1980 and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCRs) & Ammonia On Demand (AOD) system in 2002-2003. Overland conveyor, landfill and Flue-gas-desulfurization (FGDs) are present~ ly under construction with an expected start-up in 2011. Until April 30, 2003, 100 percent of the plant's generation was used by Department of Energy (DOE) for uranium enrichment operations at the Piketon facility. Since then, the entire generating capacity has been available to the Sponsoring Companies (AEP, First Energy. Buckeye Power. Allegheny Energy, Dayton Power & Light, Duke Energy & EON) and is dispatched based on competitive market pricing.

Inc .. and Stone Yard \vas founded in 1993 when Loren. who is now vice president of the company. purchased three pieces of heavy equipment· from his former employer Condor Grading. "I was a fon!1~1an for Condor Gradin!.! and the !.!entleman \VhO OWned it passed away. and I bought some equipment from the family and we started the business,'' Lore11 said. "We started with a dozer and a track hoe. and !lOW we've got J don't knov/'how man) pieces - 40 or 50 pieces probably." lnitially. the company did mostly residential v-.:ork. but then was hired to help with reclamation work at the Crown City mine after it was shut down. Jane said. "We took over the contract that the previous owner had at the mines doing (Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources) work," Lore"n added. "Jt started there and we just moved along. We did a lot of state work for ODNR." During the past 16 years, the business has shifted from doing pnmarily local jobs in the early years of the compan) to taking on bigger projects up and down the Mid-Atlantic con·idor in recent years. Some of their clients include Kentuckybased Davis H. Elliott Co. and Duke Energy in South Carolina as well as Southeast Power and Kentucky Utilities. "Probably about 90 percent of our v.·ork is out of Gallia County," said Jane. who serves as president of Crown Excavating. ''Last vear there was no residential, no commercial work in the county. People had no monev at all:· ''It's kind of been a back and forth type of thing." Loren added. "You just have to go where the work is.H ._ Locally, Loren said Crov.. n Excavating has done site work for Go Mart in Gallipolis, Hampton Inn in Gallipolis. American Electric Power and Holzer Clinic. AEP named Crown Excavating the Western Soil Conservation District Contractor of the Year for West Virginia in 2000. In 2004. Gallia Soil and. Water Conservation District presented the company with its Distinguished Serv1ce Award. In 1999. the Gallia County Fair Board honored Crown Excavating for its support of the junior fair and the youth of Gallia County. Jane said the backbone of company throughout its history has been its employees. "Without your employees. you don't have anything.'' she said. "Loren turns them loose for the day and tells them what to do and they do it. We get lots of nice letters that people write about our employ: ees."' "You're only as good as your employees,'' Loren added. "We feel like.we've got the cream of the crop." In recent years. the Coxes have rewarded their employees for their good work and loyalty by taking the whole crew and their families to Walt Disney World in Florida. The work force at Crown Excavating consists of 11 employees - nine plus Loren and Jane. Of that group. six have been with the company since its inception in 1993. Members of the crew are John Bevan. Rod Clary, B.J. Cox, Randy Cox, Carl Fitzwater. Jim Swindler. Judd Swindler. Bill Triplett and Ronnie Waugh. "We try to be good to them. They're good to us,'' Jane said.

A focus on efficiency Jed In May of 1999, Ohio Valley Bank announced its to the closing of one office intentions to purchase two and the opening of another Huntington National Bank in August of 2008. The branches in Barboursville Ohio Valley Bank office l I } located inside the Cross Lanes, W.Va., Walmart was closed. That same month, a new Loan Production Office opened its doors in the Walmart Plaza in Gallipolis (Ohio) and the Ohio Valley· Bank office inside the Gallipolis Walmart was remodeled. The new loan production office tmproved resources for the heavy traffic received at the Ohio Valley Bank inside the Gallipolis Walmart. At a time when other banks were starting to restrict their lending, Ohio Valley Bank made this bold commitment to show the community that it has money to lend. In fact. later in August, Ohio Valley Bank expanded its online lending services to include credit cards. Ohio Valley Bane Corp.'s leadership was recognized nationally in December 2008, when the American Bankers Association selected President and CEO Jeffrey E. Smith as one of only 100 bankers to serve on the national America's Community Bankers Council. Earlier in 2008, Smith received the Bud and Donna McGhee Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce. In 2009. Ohio Valley Bank proved to the community that it was a leader in local banking innovation by discarding the traditional 2:00 cut-off. From that point forward. transactions made at the bank today are processed today. The bank also completely renovated its credit card program into Visa Platinum Rewards, so that card usage results in travel discounts or free merchandise. The new card also features a 24/7 help line and online tools. In early 2010. Ohio Valley Bank was the first community bank in the area to push the envelope to offer a complete mobile banking solution including CellTeller mobi le web, text message banking. and its popular iPhone app. Ohio Valley Bank is not only a bank, but a tradition. A tradition that started right here on the banks of the Ohio River. A tradition that has used its 137 years of experience to become a successful leader in banking. ,,..
