The township spent $4,689 on 21 cell phone payments for former Trustee Roger Watson during 2014 and 2015. Watson photographed roads and projects with the cell phone to help the township secure financial assistance from outside agencies. For each cell phone payment, Watson provided the township with the first two pages of the bill from Verizon, which include the total plan charges but no further details, according to Yost’s office. Auditors obtained the complete phone bills and discovered three-fourths of the amount paid by the township was for two additional phone lines, one of which was used by Watson’s wife, Cindy Hager. All three lines on the account were in Hager’s name. “Under no circumstances should taxpayers foot the cell phone bill for an elected official’s family members,” Auditor Yost said. “I’m glad to see the township has taken preventive measures to guard against future losses.” A $311 finding for recovery was issued against Watson for excess reimbursements he received See PHONE BILL | 2A Coolville man released on bond Miranda Wood | OVP Pictured in the radar simulator classroom at the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center are Jack Fowler, the executive director of the river museum and Ruth Fout, the museum’s administrative assistant.

Michael B. Smith, 22, was arraigned in Meigs County Court earlier this week on charges of importuning and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. Both charges are fifth-degree felonies which are the lowest level. Both charges state that the alleged acts were committed while a law enforcement officer was posing as the juvenile, and not for any alleged actions committed with the juvenile. It is unknown what additional charges, if any, may be presented to the grand jury. Judge Steve Story set bond in the case at $5,000 with 10 percent permitted, which was posted, and Smith was released from custody to await future hearings. According to previous Sentinel reports, deputies arrested Smith on Jan. 6 outside a residence where he was allegedly going to meet at 13-yearold in order to engage in sex.

It also provides a sober reminder that trends in retail sales and shopping, while not always applicable to this area, do and will continue to decide the access and delivery of goods to local consumers. Not that I profess to be an expert in this particular field, but while you can accept what’s going on in business today, an operation like Kmart and its place in the community is vital. That’s because there Kevin are shoppers who like to go into Kelly Contributing a store due to its carrying a certain piece of merchandise, to take columnist advantage of sales or simply go in and browse. And while there is no doubt that online shopping has eroded store traffic, especially when Christmas looms, there is still something familiar and comforting about wandering the aisles yourself when seeking out that something special. Or at least it is to me. There was a twinge of nostalgia at the announcement of the local closing because the Kmart had only been open a few weeks when I first came to Gallipolis as a summer intern at the Tribune in June 1979. Personally, it was gratifying to have another shopping choice when you needed something beyond groceries, a new shirt or an item to dress up the rental space where you stayed that could be easily transferred to Not that I profess to your living quarters in college when you be an expert in this returned to complete particular field, but your studies. In a while you can accept larger sense though, what’s going on in Kmart’s presence made a statement business today, an operation like Kmart about the economic vitality of the area and its place in the at that time, that community is vital. Kmart wouldn’t have opened here unless it was confident the Gallipolis location would be a moneymaker. I have no figures to back up this contention, but the local Kmart must have been profitable despite the changing economy and expansion of Wal-Mart into Gallipolis in 1998. The Kmart has co-existed with the retail giant in this community simply because it had that most treasured of attributes, a loyal customer base, and in the fact it was an alternative. Older concerns in town like G.C. Murphy Co. had closed their doors by the ’90s, and newer operations like Hills didn’t survive, but the Kmart remained open because it had over the years created its customer base in the tri-county area and beyond. Again, we are reminded that the Gallipolis store’s closing was a decision on the corporate level, and certainly not a local choice. This is not to say that other retailers and stores of local origin can’t meet the needs of consumers. They do so rather well. And they too serve as alternatives that deserve your patronage, because a little competition can’t hurt. The loss of any business diminishes the community and we are left to wonder what, if anything, will take up the slack. For the closing of the Kmart puts local people, some of them friends and neighbors, out of work, so it is incumbent on our leadership and economic development experts to find and attract a new opportunity, new employment and continue those workers’ ability to contribute to the local economy. At least we can hope so if Wall Street’s big show of confidence as a new administration takes over in Washington spreads to our shores of the Ohio River. The big box retail store will continue to be a part of the national scene for some time to come despite the inroads of using the Internet to buy things. That’s kept a whole new industry busy meeting those needs, along with the Postal Service, UPS and FedEx as far as delivery goes. But there is still an attraction, not here but everywhere, to frequent a store and see what it has to offer without the benefit of a computer screen. It’s like using e-readers to access books; it’s easy and addicting, but there are enough of us old-schoolers around who still like the feel of a book or magazine (or newspaper, for that matter) in our hands. So it goes with shopping. And hopefully, a similar business will take the place of the soon-to-bemissed Kmart in that Upper River Road location we came to know so well.

People keep telling me it’s the new 40 but I’ve been 40 and, honey, this isn’t it. While getting old sure beats the alternative, you’ve still got to admit that the basic body warranty is up. Coverage expires because of: 1. Mileage or 2. Length of ownership. Of those two choices, I’ll take mileage. Like the character from William Congreve’s play “The Way of the World,” I’m resigned to the fact that time might “wear and waste” me but I vow that time will “never rust in my possession.” I’ll put everything I’ve got to good use. I’d scribbled Congreve’s line in my journal when I was feeling terribly old. I was 21 and felt as timeworn as Congreve’s play, written in 1700. Ah, as another poet put it, but I was much older then; I’m younger than that now. Such are the rewards of survival. I’m not as worried about the warranty as I once was: While various bits have become shaky and rattle and while I might need to remain in idle a little longer to warm up, I’ve acquired a better sense of direction, created a more focused route and I intend to enjoy the road ahead without spending much “We Gotta Get Out time looking in the Gina Of This Place”? rearview mirror.

THEIR VIEW Campaign rally disguised as farewell address Barack Obama formally ended his presidency the way he came in, talking to adoring fans about how lucky we are to have him in our lives. Indeed, given the hand-wringing over how Obama’s successor is all about entertainment and theatrics, it was somewhere between ironic and absurd to watch the outgoing president hold a campaign rally for his “farewell address.” And yet, we’ve become so inured to this kind of self-serving pomp and circumstance that no one seems to care. From what I can tell, no liberal commentators minded at all, and most conservative reviewers went straight to the substance — or the title “The lack thereof — of Jonah Address of GenObama’s remarks.

To voluntarily relinquish power — power Washington never wanted in the first place — for the benefit of democracy was one of the most radical acts of political humility in history. During the Revolutionary War, King George III asked the American painter Benjamin West what Washington would do if he won independence for the colonies. West replied, “They say he will return to his farm.” George was stunned: “If he does that,” the king replied, “he will be the greatest man in the world.” See RALLY | 5A �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, January 15, 2017 5A TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Jan. 15, the 15th day of 2017.

Of course, the era of radio and television necessitated — or created the perception of necessity — that presidents farewell address the people directly. Whether that amounted to progress is for others to decide.

He did the next best thing and held a campaign rally as if he were running again. Obama is never more comfortable than when he’s in front of an audience that already agrees with him and shares his stunning self-regard, which helps explain why his was the longest televised presidential farewell ever. The whole speech seemed written to be the final chapter of the “Collected Speeches of Barack Obama,” which is why he concluded by referencing his 2008 “Yes We Can” speech. No wonder the substance of Obama’s farewell was a high-flown rehash of his greatest hits. He spoke again of Congress being “dysfunctional” in the abstract, but what he surely meant is that Congress isn’t working properly when it declines to do what he wants it to do. Hence the insinuation that disagreement with his views on climate change is contrary to the “spirit” of America and the Enlightenment. He called for a “new social compact” that was indistinguishable from his legislative agenda and insisted that the essence of democracy is the commitment “that we rise or fall as one.” That is not the spirit of democracy at all; it’s the spirit of the “tribalism” and “nationalism” he’s come to disparage. But that has always been the spirit of Obamaism. When people agree with him, that’s democracy working. When democracy rejects his counsel, that’s the bitter Bibleclingers rejecting the better angel of his nature.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Unfortunately for Gallia Academy, Friday the 13th was unkind to these Devils. That’s because the visiting Fairland Dragons, ranked ninth in the Associated Press Division III statewide poll, rallied back from an early seven-point deficit — en route to rolling the Blue Devils 75-48 on Friday night in an Ohio Valley Conference boys basketball tilt. In downing the Blue Devils after being down early, the Dragons dialed in for 11 threepoint goals —all without their six-foot, eight-inch standout center Kollin Van Horn. Fairland led for the final 20-and-a-half minutes — spearheaded by outscoring Gallia Academy 25-9 in the tide-turning second quarter. The onslaught continued in the second half, when the Dragons outpointed the Blue Devils 16-9 in the third frame —before finally amassing 23 more points in the fourth. Fairland’s largest margin was with 1:23 remaining — at 70-42 thanks to Ty Staten splitting a pair of free throws. With the win, the Dragons raised their record to 10-1 — and remain atop the OVC at a perfect 5-0. Gallia Academy dipped to 6-4 — and 3-2 in the league. In playing extremely well for the final 28 minutes and 20 seconds, and after missing their first 10 shot attempts and 12 of their first 13, the Dragons drilled 29-of-65 (45-percent) field-goal attempts —and forced 25 Blue Devil turnovers and committed only eight. As the Dragons reversed their early course, Gallia Academy possessions resulted in turnovers and transition points the other way —often from behind the three-point line. “That’s what hurt us. A lot of it wasn’t necessarily throwing the ball away…four times See DRAGONS | 2B Marauders fall at Vinton County, 64-56 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com McARTHUR, Ohio — All good things must come to an end. The Meigs boys basketball team had its eightgame winning streak come to an end on Friday night, as Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host and unbeaten Vinton County claimed a 64-56 victory on its home court. The Vikings (11-0, 5-0 TVC Ohio) rolled out to a 18-to-11 lead, eight minutes into play and increased their advantage to 34-23 by halftime. Meigs (8-5, 3-1) cut the deficit to 10 points, 53-43, by the end of the third period. The Marauders outscored VCHS by a 13-to-11 clip in the final quarter, but it was too little, too late, and the Vikings claimed the 64-56 victory. MHS senior Luke Musser led the Marauders with 17 points, followed by Dillon Mahr with 11. Jared Kennedy and Christian Mattox both marked eight points, Zach Bartrum added four, while Devon Hawley chipped in with three. Weston Baer and Zach Helton both scored two points, while Bailey Caruthers rounded out the MHS total with one marker. VCHS was led by Derick Jones with 21 points and Tristan Bartoe with 19. Naylen Yates posted eight points in the win, Jake Speakman and Eli Griffith both chipped in with six points, while Caleb Montgomery and Bryce Damron both added two points. Both teams shot 75 percent from the charity stripe, Meigs on 12-of-16 shooting and Vinton County on 9-of-12. The Vikings made seven trifectas in the win, three more than the Marauders. Meigs will have a shot to avenge this setback on February 3, when the Vikings visit Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Marauders return to the court on Tuesday, when they visit Point Pleasant in nonleague play. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Just fundamental things like that,” said Gallia Academy coach Gary Harrison. “They made some threes to get on their run, and we didn’t post the ball or really execute our gameplan. But Fairland is a really good team. They are ninth in the state for a reason. And they live and die by the three.” On Friday night, the 13th in fact, the Dragons lived. Fairland finished with 11 three-balls — four by Luke Thomas and three apiece by Isaiah Howell and Gunner Short. Thomas with 20 points, Howell with 19, and Short with 17 combined for 56 of the Dragons’ 75. Thomas tallied eight total field goals, Howell seven and 2-of-2 free throws, and Short five and 4-of-4 foul shots. And, even without Van Horn —who suffered a broken nose in practice and is expected to miss at least three weeks —the Dragons didn’t allow the Blue Devils’ size to make a major impact. Justin Peck — Gallia Academy’s 6-5 senior forward — scored 16 points on seven field goals and 2-of-4 free throws, but was saddled with foul trouble and picked up his fourth only two-and-ahalf minutes into the third. Zach Loveday, the Blue and White’s 6-11 freshman center, only amounted a thirdquarter field goal. Both big Blue Devils grabbed nine rebounds apiece, but were neutralized on Friday night overall. “Fairland played really well. We had two bigs, but we didn’t post and they did a good job on our bigs. I thought we could have done a better job of controlling the game if we would have posted it better, or if we could have gone on a big run really early in that first quarter. But we didn’t do either of those,” said Harrison. “We’re still young, we’re still learning, and we’re still at that point of where we are jelling together.” Conversely, the Dragons are a veteran club capable of overcoming a slow start. Gallia Academy, in the opening 4:25, posted the first seven points —before Kedrick Cunningham got Fairland on the board just 15 seconds later. The Blue Devils did lead at 9-2, but the Dragons closed the quarter on a 9-4 burst. Fairland kept extending its advantage once it captured the lead, which occurred with four-and-a-half minutes left in the second period — when Cunningham converted an old-fashioned threepoint play off a steal to make it 21-20. In the final 4:40 of the first half, the Dragons reeled off an 18-2 run — which was only interrupted at the 3:11 mark by a Cory Call field goal for Gallia Academy. That made the score 24-22 in favor of Fairland, as the Dragons then scored the final dozen points of the half — punctuated by Short swishing a corner-pocket threepointer at the buzzer. Loveday ended the Blue Devils’ epic drought — which spanned exactly six minutes and 25 seconds. Fairland then led by 18 points (42-24, 44-26 and 47-29) three times —before Short scored, stole a pass, and bagged a another trifecta for a 52-29 advantage. “The past couple of games, we had it down to 12 or 13 turnovers. But when you have 25 turnovers, you’re not going to be in many games,” said Harrison. “And we didn’t rebound very well. I thought a lot of times, they got to the loose balls instead of us. Just things we have to get better at. I think as a young team, we will.” Call, on five total field goals and a split of two freebies, collected a dozen points. Justin McClelland made three field goals and a pair of foul shots for nine, while Miles Cornwell canned a pair of treys. McClelland, Call and Dondre Armstrong all made a three apiece. The Dragons held a 29-19 advantage in total field goals. Gallia Academy returns to action on Tuesday night — when it makes the short trip to non-league rival River Valley.

Garrett Barringer led the Eagles with two assists. “We’re relying on Jett Facemyer way too much, other guys have to step up and start playing basketball,” Coach Hill said. “They help our ball club in different ways, but you can’t have one scorer, one defender and one rebounder, it doesn’t work. We’re going to mend our minds and our mentality right now. We’re going to need the biggest tourniquet to stop the bleeding and do it quickly, or we’re going to be in for another one of those rotten seasons.” The Eagles will have their chance to avenge this setback on February 17, when these teams clash in Racine. Both teams are back in action on Tuesday, with Eastern visiting Miller and Southern hosting league-leader Waterford.

With the loss, River Valley slipped to 2-11 — and 2-4 in the TVCOhio. Vinton County raised its record to 5-7 —and 3-2 in the league. The Raiders, once again, got overwhelmed from the opening tip. Jackson, Maggie Campbell and Jaden Neal all scored first-period baskets, while Jackson made a three-pointer and a free throw in the second. Jackson finished with five deuces and three treys, while Beth Gillman garnered four field goals towards nine points. She sank the squad’s only other three in the third frame. Vinton County held a 23-16 advantage in total field goals, and drilled six triples including three by Cassie Bentley. Bentley —on three twos, three threes and 2-of-2 free throws — bagged 17 points to pace the winners. Erin Jones dropped in a trifecta in the second canto, and added six twopointers for 15 points. Darian Radabaugh, on two twos and two threes, recorded 10 points. Samy Thompson, Josie Ousley and Tyra Prater posted two field goals apiece, while Thompson tacked on the Vikings’ only other free throw. The Lady Raiders return to the road, and return to non-league action, on Monday night at Belpre. River Valley was scheduled to travel to sister school South Gallia on Saturday.

South Gallia falls to Miller, 76-58 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — A slow start led to a bad finish. Visiting Miller went on a 23-9 first quarter run and ultimately never looked back Friday night during a 76-58 victory over the South Gallia boys basketball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The host Rebels (1-10, 0-6 TVC Hocking) surrendered a season-high in points allowed as the Falcons (3-7, 3-4) had four different players reach double digits while snapping a five-game losing skid. SGHS, with the setback, dropped its third straight outcome in the 18-point decision. Seattle Compston scored 10 points as part of Miller’s opening period charge, while the Red and Gold mustered only two field goals and a handful of free throws en route to an early 14-point deficit. Caleb Henry and Austin Stapleton combined for 12 points in the second canto as a part of an 18-12 surge, allowing the hosts to close to within 35-27 headed into the break. Four different MHS players contributed four points apiece during a 20-13 third quarter run that allowed the Purple and White to increase their lead back out to 55-40 headed into the finale. Stapleton scored half of the Rebels’ 18 fourth quarter points, but the guests ended regulation with a 21-18 run to wrap up the final outcome. Four of South Gallia’s 17 made field goals came from behind the arc and the hosts were also 12-of-22 at the free throw line for 55 percent. Caleb Henry paced SGHS with 20 points and followed by Stapleton with 17 points. Eli Ellis and Austin Day were next with seven markers apiece, while Josh Henry chipped in four points. Curtis Haner and Colton Bowers respectively rounded out the Rebel tally with two points and one point. The Falcons netted all 27 of their made field goals from inside the arc and also went 22-of-35 at the free throw line for 63 percent.

While people seem to enjoy making New Year’s Resolutions, the truth is that – according to various researchers – anywhere from 88 to 92 percent of resolutions fail. In fact, for most of you reading this, chances are pretty good that your resolutions have already failed. If you are one of the 8-12 percent whose resolutions stick – give yourself a pat on the back. Most resolutions are nothing more than lofty hopes without clearly In The defined goals, deadOpen lines or a plan to Jim attain them, and Freeman they are a set up for failure. That fitness center that is packed the first few weeks of 2017, will be mostly empty by the beginning of February, much to the relief of the usual crowd that sticks with it year-round. That’s pretty much why I don’t make them. However, if you love nature and the outdoors, let me offer some pain-free resolutions for this year. It’s not too late. After March 1 you can buy the 2017 Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp. For $15 you will receive the collectible stamp, a window cling, and a commemorative card. The stamp proceeds support: habitat restoration, land purchases and conservation easements; keeping common species common; endangered and threatened native species; educational products for students and wildlife enthusiasts; wildlife and habitat research projects. For $5 or $10, depending on how you purchase, you can also get a year-long subscription to the Wild Ohio magazine. Wild Ohio is an add-free publication delivered to your mailbox six times a year, including a calendar issue, and features articles about game and non-game species, recipes, and lots of photos. For more information about the legacy stamp or Wild Ohio, visit http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov You can do all of that and barely lift a finger. Sure it won’t take away pounds, but you’ll have helped Ohio wildlife and that’s pretty good, too. Also in the upcoming month you can buy some trees from your local conservation district. It doesn’t take too much cash and effort to try to beautify your own environment. I will have more information about area tree sales in the upcoming weeks. No matter where you live, resolve to buy a fishing license and try to go fishing a few times. Even if you don’t actually make it out to go fishing, you’ll have directly helped fund and protect your state’s wildlife resources. If you do all of this, and still decide you want to be a new you for 2017, just wait a few months and you’ll probably be able to score a sweet deal on barely used exercise equipment.

To see your dreams come alive before your eyes is worth all the sacrifice to some though. Deborah Kuhn, a 1985 Gallia Academy High School graduate, is one such person. Kuhn currently lives in New York, N.Y., with her husband of the last three years, and has spent the better part of life living her passion, even when it was not the simplest road to take. In late October, Kuhn took home the award of Best Supporting Actress for her part in the short film called “As Life Shifts” at the International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema in Berlin, Germany. She served as the supportive neighbor of the main character Miranda, diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The disease causes muscle weakness, paralysis and respiratory failure as a progressive neurodegenerative disease. While struggling with the disease, the mother must raise two sons. Kuhn played the role of a friend and confidante Ingrid, supporting Miranda though her struggles as a parent. The film is roughly 18 minutes long and is not available for release as it is still being released to yet more international festivals for competition. “When I was in Gallipolis and going to high school, there was always ABOUT THE ROLE In “As Life Shifts” Deborah Kuhn portrays the supportive neighbor of the main character Miranda, diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

She stressed the necessity of having the ability to market oneself as presentation is important in the world of acting. “You can be the greatest actor, but you have to have a social media following and you have to sell yourself,” said Kuhn. When Kuhn made her way to New York, she landed a spot in a national commercial within a few months. She still works with Delta Airlines, however. Going on 30 years with the business, Kuhn stressed the importance of being able to work if needed while working to fulfill a passion. “The role (of Ingrid) for me is multiple things,” said Kuhn. “I’m very close with my family. I feel like a friend is a friend and you would do anything for them. So, I was a neighbor helping out a friend. The most important thing was my uncle had just passed away from ALS a year ago. Any disease, cancer or death, anything that puts heartache into a family and you’ve experienced it yourself … knowing what my family went through and having a close family, I treated (the main character) as a sister.” Kuhn said she attend- Actors often must have a head shot to go along with auditions.

Kuhn said that five years ago, criticism might have put her in tears. Now, she lets it go. Constantly auditioning and facing criticism can teach one what is important to pay attention to, and what to disregard. For Kuhn, her pursuit of acting was worth the chase. She stresses that pursuing one’s dreams do have a price and one needs to be prepared to pay it.

Pull the bedding off, down to the mattress, and then look in all the seams and folds for bugs, fecal spots, or blood spots. Also inspect any crevices in the headboard and frame of the bed as well as the nightstands beside the bed, and dressers/drawers. Thoroughly check and clean any second hand items before bringing them into your home. Furniture, pictures and frames, appliances, clocks, radios, lamps, anything could harbor a bug or eggs. You may want to forgo second hand items that cannot be thoroughly inspected. Clothing and textiles from yard sales and thrift stores should be immediately washed and dried on high heat settings. If the items cannot be immediately laundered, keep them in a tightly sealed bag or containers until they are ready to be washed. If you discard an infested piece of furniture or mattress, spray paint “BUGS” on it or mark it in some way that others will not pick it up and take it home unknowingly. What to do if prevention fails The official position of the Ohio Department of Health is that the only way to eradicate an infestation is to hire professional exterminators that are certified by Ohio Department of Agriculture to treat for bed bugs. The reason for this stance is because the chemicals that are most effective against bed bugs aren’t allowed to be sold to the general public. The insecticides that are available on the market offer little or no effect on the eradication of bed bugs. Some treatment options, like bed bug bombs, can actually make the problem worse by causing the bugs to spread out to other rooms in the house or to other apartments in a building. When it comes to bed bugs, you don’t have to have a dirty home to get them, but you do have to have a clean home to get rid of them. The first step in treatment, whether you hire a professional or try to handle it on your own, is to thoroughly clean. Eliminate all clutter. Wash all textiles, and store in sealed plastic bags until infestation is under control. Vacuum daily, and remove or empty the bag/cup to prevent the bugs from crawling back out. Break down the bed and use the vacuum crevice tool to thoroughly clean the frame, headboard, mattress and boxed spring.

As for the rubbing alcohol, look for the highest percentage of alcohol you can find. Most are 70 percent, which is ok, but 90 percent would be better. Alcohol only works on contact, so if you see a bug, you can spray it, but don’t think you can saturate a mattress and it will kill them for a week, it doesn’t work that way. The alcohol will evaporate quickly, and after that the effectiveness is gone. Another caution when using alcohol is that it is extremely flammable. Do not use it while smoking or near open flame.

Most motorized vessels would be banned under a proposed whale protection zone sought by three conservation groups. Puget Sound orcas face multiple threats, including pollution, lack of prey and impacts from boats. The zone is a commonsense approach that can be implemented immediately, Orca Relief Citizens’ Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity and Project Seawolf said in a petition filed with NOAA Fisheries. The agency announced Thursday it is seeking input from industry, tribes, government agencies and others on the November petition before deciding whether to proceed. NOAA Fisheries said studies indicate that the whales forage less in the presence of boat traffic. The orcas rely heavily on underwater sounds to find food and communicate, and boat noise may disrupt that process. Killer whales can be found in many oceans, but this small distinct population can typically be found in Puget Sound from spring to fall. They use unique calls to communicate with one another and eat salmon rather than marine mammals. The orcas were listed as endangered in 2005. NOAA Fisheries says they’re among the species most at risk for extinction in the near future. With the loss of seven animals in 2016, the population is down to 78. “We’re looking at every option and every opportunity to address the threats to these whales,” Barry Thom, administrator of NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region, said in a statement Thursday. NOAA Fisheries considered a similar no-go zone in 2011 but declined to move forward, citing strong opposition at the time. “The petition presents an opportunity to revisit that idea and get input from the public on this type of protection for the whale,” Lynne Barre, NOAA Fisheries recovery coordinator for the southern resident killer whales, said in a statement. Jeff Friedman, U.S. president of the Pacific Whale Watch Association, told KING-TV in Seattle that the primary challenge the whales face is lack of salmon. “This petition is a really big distraction for the real issues facing the southern resident killer whales,” he told the Seattle station. In 2011, the agency adopted rules requiring boats to stay 200 yards from the whales and out of their path. But the petitioners say those protections and voluntary measures haven’t been sufficient to protect the whales. They’re proposing a zone larger and wider than the one considered in 2011. They’re also asking for an additional ¼-mile buffer to give the whales “more quiet and rest” in their key habitat area and for the rules apply between April 1 to Sept. 30.

For more news and sports coverage, visit MyDailyTribune.com 60 years since publication of famous travel guidebook 60700094 NEW YORK (AP) — This year the legendary travel guidebook writer Arthur Frommer celebrates 60 years since the publication of his 1957 book, “Europe on $5 a Day.” Frommer began writing about travel while serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s. When his book of travel advice for American soldiers sold out, he launched what became one of the travel industry’s best-known brands. Frommer’s philosophy — stay in inns and budget hotels, sightsee on your own, eat in small cafes instead of fancy restaurants — had a huge impact on the way Americans traveled in the mid- to late 20th century. His message of authentic bargain travel encouraged average people — not just the wealthy — to vacation abroad. There was a time when you couldn’t go to a tourist attraction in Europe without encountering Americans clutching Frommer’s books. It didn’t hurt that his books hit the market as the rise of jet travel made getting to Europe easier. But as the cost of travel increased over the decades, the titles changed too. The “$5 a Day” edition became $10 a day, $20 a day and so on. The series ended in 2007 with “$95 a Day” guides. By then, Arthur’s daughter Pauline had joined the family business, and the brand continued. There are now 101 Frommer’s guides available to destinations around the world. Today, though, Frommer’s is one of many sources of travel information in a crowded field, competing not just with free online advice but also with other bestselling travel guidebooks like Rick Steves and Lonely Planet. Still, Frommer’s brand has survived in the digital world, with ebooks, a Frommers.com website and podcasts of a weekly radio show that Arthur and Pauline do live from New York. Arthur Frommer, 87, recently shared his story with The Associated Press. Q. How did the Frommer’s brand begin? A: I was drafted into the Army at the time of the Korean War. But luckily enough and to my great surprise, instead of being sent to fight in Korea, I was sent to Europe because I had certain linguistic abilities. … And while in the army overseas, I was always struck by the fact that my fellow GIs did not travel. They were scared to travel. They were worried about how you would pay for various items. What currency would you use, where would you live at night, and I decided to do a guidebook. And in my last three weeks in the Army, I wrote a little book called ‘The GI’s Guide to Traveling in Europe,’ which was circulated to the various PXs in Europe on the day that I left Germany and returned home. … And immediately I got a cable from Europe that the book had sold out overnight. Q. You returned to New York to practice law but decided to write another guidebook for civilians. How did you do it? A. During a one-month vacation, I returned to Europe and I went running to 15 different European cities, getting up at 5 a.m. in the morning, hitting the streets, going from one guesthouse to another, from one low-cost restaurant to another, and I then wrote a book called “Europe on $5 a Day.” I printed 5,000 copies of the book, the book went on sale and again it sold out. Q. Do you ever fly firstclass? A. I fly economy class and I try to experience the same form of travel, the same experience that the average American and the average citizen of the world encounters. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
