Local officials react to GKN expansion
Project expected to generate 50 new jobs

GALLIPOLIS
—
Thursday’s exciting announcement by GKN
Sinter Metals that 50 new
jobs are on the horizon in
conjunction with a $10
million expansion project
was made at a conference
abuzz with excited energy, regional camaraderie
and hometown pride.
The press conference
was held Thursday afternoon with local, regional
and state officials in attendance, as well as GKN Sin-
ter Metals management.
Matt Daniels, Gallipolis plant manager, said
the project is expected to
add 50 full-time jobs and
generate up to $20 million
in additional sales for the
company over the next
two to three years. The
expansion will include
the installation of a new
750-metric-ton, powdercompaction press, along
with other capital equipment to launch production
of differential-gear components developed at the plant.
“Certainly this media
day is an opportunity for
us to announce this very
significant group of incentives. In total there are
five incentives with a total
value for GKN of approximately $800,000,” said
Daniels. “It is a very significant investment in the
county and in this facility.”
Daniels said the incentive package provided by
local, regional and state
government and development entities will help to
leverage a total investment of approximately
$10 million.
“We will be able to increase our sales by roughly
$20 million,” said Daniels
of the expansion project.
“That’s a fairly significant
percentage for us — about
a 50 percent increase
from where we’re at today.
With that, obviously there
comes jobs — the whole
reason we are here. We expect to be able to increase
our employment by roughly 50 full-time jobs that will
be split between our hourly
and salary workforce.”
Daniels said that the
expansion project at hand
is really a continuation of
growth that has been happening over the course of
the last few years years.

RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. — Workers, local officials
and others from around the region were given a chance
earlier this week to experience flying the most advanced military aircraft currently being constructed.
Lockheed Martin showcased the F-35 Lightning
II mobile cockpit demonstrator to state and local
officials, employees and members of the media on
Wednesday at the Constellium plant in Ravenswood,
W.Va.
“We’re delighted to be able to demonstrate the capabilities of the F-35 Lightning II, the world’s most
advanced military aircraft, here in West Virginia,” said
Danny Conroy, Lockheed Martin, Director, USAF
F-35 program. “The employees here in Ravenswood
are producing critical components for the F-35s flying today, and we’re excited to offer an opportunity to
showcase this fighter’s superior performance capabilities to them.”
Constellium is a key supplier of aluminum plates
used for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II program.
“The F-35 aircraft posed a unique challenge for Constellium. In order to meet a critical need for very large
monolithic components for the F-35 aircraft, we needed to produce very large plates of previously unheardof dimensions. We believe we achieved this feat by
combining our unique manufacturing capabilities and
tailored product range. We are excited to be a part of
this ground-breaking program,” said Kyle Lorentzen,
CEO of Constellium’s Ravenswood operation.
More than 800 of Constellium’s Ravenswood employees contribute to the manufacture of aluminum
plates for the aerostructure of the F-35.
According to Lorentzen, approximately 950 people
are employed at the plant. Of those, around 15 percent
are Ohio residents, many of whom reside in the Meigs
County area.
The program brings jobs to the plant which help
to provide sustainability and growth in the plant and
the local economy according to Lorentzen. The F-35
Lightning II program will support 60 full time posiSee F-35 | A2

TUPPERS PLAINS — The
Meigs County Sheriff’s Office has
identified Chad Rennicker as a suspect involved in the robbery of the
Farmers Bank located In Tuppers
Plains.
Deputies from the Meigs County
Sheriff’s Office assisted by the Jackson County West Virginia Sheriff’s Chad Rennicker
Office, Ripley Police Department
and the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team executed a
search warrant Friday at Rennicker’s
mother’s home on Grasslick Road,
Ripley. Deputies however were unable to locate Rennicker at the home.
Rennicker is wanted by the Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office, along with
the Belmont County Ohio Sheriff’s
Office and the Perry Township Police Department in Stark County Michaela Jean Fritz

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallipolis Police Department
announced on Friday that
the death of an active duty
sailor found dead in a Gallipolis apartment last Sunday afternoon was not the
work of several individuals
as widely rumored on local
social media sites, but the
result of an assault involving
one suspect.
The body of Steven A.
Perry, 22, of Mason County,
W.Va., was found by authorities at approximately 12 p.m.
on Sunday, May 26 in an
apartment located at 151 Upper River Road in Gallipolis
after they were dispatched
to the scene in reference to
a subject who was unresponsive and had no pulse — a
subject later identified as
Perry.
Gallia County Coroner Dr.
Daniel Whiteley later reported to the scene and indicated
that the victim had not died
of natural causes. His body
was later sent to the Montgomery County Coroner’s
Office for an autopsy.
Following the discovery of
the body, rumors circulated
locally about a possible altercation on Saturday night
in Gallipolis involving Perry,
however, officials could not

CENTENARY — A very accomplished Gallia Academy High
School class of 2013 changed
their tassels on Friday evening
during a crowded commencement ceremony held in the high
school gymnasium.
The faculty and staff bid farewell and handed diplomas to the
over 130 high school seniors — a
group of students who, according
to Zachary Stewart, one of the
representatives of the top 10 percent of the class, made their mark
on the history of the school.
“The unique individualism each
student has contributed to this
class has allowed us to do things
that other class could never have
done or will ever do,” Stewart
said while describing the many
accomplishments of his peers,
including league titles in football,
track, tennis and baseball, an un-
defeated regular season in tennis,
state awards for the Madrigals
and symphonic band, as well as
the class’s “black-out” for cancer
campaign that raised over $3,000
for cancer research.
In addition, Stewart pointed to
the fact that the members of his
class are the first to have attended
all four years of their high school
career at the new building in Centenary — a facility that was completed in 2009.
Stewart also pointed to the people who have made a difference
in his life, as well as in his classSee GAHS | A3

confirm or deny the rumors.
According to the release
issued by the police department on Friday, an investigation has revealed that there
was only one suspect involved in a confirmed assault,
which reportedly led to Perry’s death, and not multiple
suspects as discussed widely
on social media outlets.
The name of the person of
interest in this case has not
been released and, according
to an official with the police
department, further details
as to the events that led to
Perry’s death last weekend
will be released following the
completion of the autopsy.
The release issued by investigators further reads, “While
many questions about this
matter have been answered,
there are still several which
need to be resolved. The Gallipolis Police Department will
continue to investigate this
matter, and the case remains
open at this time.”
At the time of his death,
Perry, who was an active duty
sailor with the U.S. Navy, had
reportedly returned home on
temporary leave for a short
period after an eight-month
deployment in the Persian
Gulf. He was reportedly
scheduled to return to service
within the next few weeks.
Anyone with possible information in regard to this case
is encouraged to contact Gallipolis Police Department dispatchers at (740) 446-1313.
tions at the plant.
He added that Lockheed Martin has been a
long-standing customer of
the plant which supports
Jackson County, W.Va. and
neighboring counties.
There are approximately
125,000 direct and indirect
jobs tied to the F-35 program nationally, generating
an estimated $16.8 billion
in total economic impact.
The program builds
fighter jets for the Air
Force, Navy and Marines.
“Jobs and the economy
are top priority,” said
Congressman Bill Johnson. “The plant employs
a lot [of people in] the
district, and it is a great
opportunity for the region
[in terms of] employment
and to contribute to national security.”
Johnson entered the
U.S. Air Force in 1973,
and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after a distinguished military career of
more than 26 years.
Several officials from
Meigs County were also
in attendance at the event,
with a specific focus on
what the program could
mean to local residents in
the county where unemployment continually ranks
among the highest in the
state.
During the event, attendees received an up-

program, as well as the
opportunity to “fly” the
F-35 cockpit demonstrator to experience stealth
capability, fighter agility
and integrated information through the eyes of
a pilot. The cockpit is
visually and audibly interactive and provides a
realistic look at the F-35’s
performance,
air-to-air
and air-to-ground capabilities, sophisticated sensor
fusion and advanced computational capabilities.
The F-35 program has
more than 1,400 suppliers in 46 states and
Puerto Rico, building
and sustaining a highly
skilled workforce criti-
cal to national security
and economic prosperity.
Additionally, thousands
more are employed in the
F-35 program’s partner
countries, which include
the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Australia,
Denmark and Norway.
The F-35 Lightning II
is a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced
stealth with fighter speed
and agility, fully-fused sensor information and network-enabled operations.

While the lobby of the Tuppers
Plains Branch of the Farmers Bank
and Savings Co. was closed to business on both Friday and Saturday
following Thursday’s robbery, Paul
Reed, president and CEO of Farmers Bank, said the facility will be
back into full operation Monday.
“First and foremost, I want to
emphasize that our main priority is the safety and well-being of
our Farmers Bank employees and
customers. We are grateful that no
one was hurt,” Reed said in a prepared statement. “Now, I just hope
for peace of mind for all involved.
You never want something like this
to happen, but we diligently train
employees to handle situations like
this. I commend our Tuppers Plains
staff for following procedures to ensure everyone was safe.”
Reed said bank employees
have been working closely with
local authorities since the incident occurred, and he thanked
them for their immediate response and continued ongoing
investigation efforts.
Reed said that while it was
frightening experience for the six
employees, four behind the counter, one at a desk in the lobby and
another in the office, their reaction to the incident and security
system was well handled.
“They did just what they were
trained to do. Everything worked
as it should have, and I’m very
proud of the way our employees
responded,” said Reed.
He was also complimentary of
the work of the responding officers from the Meigs County Sheriff’s office, the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation and Identification
(BCI) and other officials.
“While they were focusing on
catching the individual, they were
also concerned about the well-being
of our employees,” he commented.
There were no customers in the
bank when the robbery occurred,
Reed said.

not been idle,” said Daniels. “That level of success
— there’s no way it would
be possible without the diligence and persistence of our
community, our suppliers,
our employees, our parent
company, and most importantly, our customers.”
Ohio State Rep. Ryan
Smith also spoke briefly
at the announcement
event.
“It’s an exciting day.
We are very thankful for
GKN’s commitment to our
area,” said Smith. “They
certainly understand and
recognize the strong and
dependable
workforce
we have here in southern
Ohio, and I certainly appreciate that.”
Smith took the time to
recognize a number of
people and organizations
that brought the project to
fruition.
“This has been a team
effort; there has been a
lot of moving parts,” said
Smith. “I’m really proud of

thing hot,” said Cremeens.
“We’ve always trusted Randy, so we did what we felt
was in the best interest [of
the community].”
Cremeens went on to
praise GKN for being a
good neighbor in Gallipolis.
“We are so proud to
have GKN as such a good
neighbor of ours,” said
Cremeens noting that even
GKN’s manicured landscaping reflects a sense of
pride in the community.
“A day like today is one
of the best times to be
president of the city commission,” Cremeens remarked.
Gallia County Commission President Harold
Montgomery, who served
as emcee for the event,
took the opportunity to
thank a number of people involved in the GKN
expansion project, but
paused to offer special
thanks to Gallia County
Economic Development
Director Melissa Clark.
In closing remarks,
Montgomery looked back
at his early impressions of
the plant which stands in
stark contrast to GKN’s
current state of affairs.
“I have a couple memories regarding this facility,
and at the time, neither
one of them was very
good,” said Montgomery. “I think it was back
in about ‘97 with a previous owner, Borg Warner,
and they were planning
on closing the plant down
and moving to Romulus,
Michigan. They had a sister plant there.”
Montgomery said the
local community rallied
at that time, as well, and
negotiations were ultimately successful.
“We were able to exercise the enterprise zone
that we had in place, and
we convinced [Borg Warner] to do the expansion
of [the part of the facility
where the event was being
held],” Montgomery said.
“Then again we went
through downturns and
what have you, and we
kept hearing about this
place, Romulus, Michigan. It was becoming kind
of a thorn in our side,”
said Montgomery. “It was
relayed to us that they
were thinking about may-
be closing again — combining the two plants and
going to Romulus.”
Montgomery said that
with the help of many
regional leaders and lawmakers, specifically Don
Branson, executive director of the Southern Ohio
Agricultural and Community Development Foundation (SOACDF), also
known as the Tobacco
Foundation, the team was
able to deter the loss.
“From that point, today
is especially gratifying.
We’re not here trying to
save the plant; we’re here
to enjoy the expansion of
this facility,” said Montgomery. “Matt [Daniels],
we thank you. We thank
the company, and welcome
to Gallia County.”
Other participants in
the press conference included John Molinaro,
president and CEO of the
Appalachian Partnership
for Economic Growth;
Larry Kidd, JobsOhio
board member; Tammi
Brabham, president of the
Gallia County CIC; and
Don Branson, executive
director of the SOACDF.

this team taking advantage
of it and coming together.
Everybody shared the
same goal and that’s to get
jobs in this community and
to the region.”
Smith noted that these
aren’t minimum wage positions.
“There are 50 families
in this community that
will directly benefit from
[the expansion], and that
is huge. We certainly don’t
want to diminish that effect — especially when you
are talking about jobs with
benefits at an average of
$45,000 per year — that’s
fantastic,” Smith added.
Speaking from a local
perspective, Gallipolis City
Commission President Jay
Cremeens told those in attendance that economic development issues sometimes
take a certain measure of
confidentiality and faith.

Fellow top 10 percent
representative, Robert Canady, also spoke during Friday’s graduation ceremony
— focusing his speech on
the days that lie ahead of
the graduating seniors.
“Whether your future is
straight into a job, the military or on to college, we
are at a crossroads … There
will be many of these crossroads in our future and
which decision we make
will not only affect us, but
also those around us [and]
we might not always take
the right path, but I encourage you to step out of your
comfort zone and make
some mistakes,” Canady
said. “Everyone will make
a few no matter how great
your intentions. Sometimes
a decision will help you
grow. Mistakes teach you
valuable lessons. The real
test is how you handle
things. If you learn something from it and change
your direction, that’s what
builds your character.
“Never give up no how
bad the situation is,” he
said.
Canady concluded his
speech by quoting from
“The Dash,” a poem that
describes a man speaking
at a funeral of a friend.
In the poem, the man refers to the importance of
the “dash” on his friend’s
tombstone between the
date of her birth and the
date of her death — a
dash that represents all
the time that each person
spends on earth.
Referring
to
this
poem, Canady encouraged his classmates to
make the most of their
own “dashes.”
In addition to the class
of 2013, one additional
person in attendance received a diploma during
Friday night’s commencement — a “full-fledged
blue devil,” according to
Gallipolis City Schools Superintendent Roger Mace,
who spoke before handing
out this honorary diploma.
The
superintendent,
who told the graduates to
remember the moments in
life as moments become
memories, outlined four
main points, or attributes,
to the graduates that will
help them succeed in life:
giving back to their community, finding their purpose, being determined to
make the most out of life,
and supporting their families — the most important
aspect of one’s life.
“There’s a person here
tonight who has been an
example of all these attributes. This person has
been dedicated to the
community, they have volunteered at many events,
especially sporting events.
He has been a servant to the
sports program at Gallia
Academy. He has done the
little things which made a
difference,” Mace told the
crowd. “He has been loyal
to the blue devils and blue
angels. He has videotaped
and volunteered his time
with the Gallia Academy
boys basketball program for
over 42 years.
“He cherished his time
and has many moments
that are memories … He
can tell you the history of
Gallia Academy like no other. This individual bleeds
blue,” Mace said before calling David “Red Dog” Johnson to the stage to present
him his honorary diploma.
Johnson, who received
a standing ovation as he
made his way to the stage,
spoke briefly to the crowd.
“I’d like to thank everybody. This is the greatest
honor I’ve ever had,” he
said.
Retiring Gallia Academy High School Principal
Tim Massie, who spent his
career at GAHS as a vocational agricultural instructor, a guidance counselor,
assistance principal and, finally, principal, was among
the last to speak during Friday’s event.
“It’s hard to believe that
35 years have come and
gone. Now just like this
wonderful group of students seated in front of
me, it’s time for me too to
graduate and enter the next
phase of my life,” Massie
said. “Thank you very
much to everyone — the
parents and the community,
the school board members,
my fellow administrators,
my Gallia Academy High
School family, and, most of
all, you students. I wish you
many successes and much
happiness in the future.
Congratulations and good

Slowdown in Medicare
spending extends trust fund
Reader opines on cemetery
maintenance, letters to editor
Mary Agnes Carey
Kaiser Health News
Slower
growth
in
spending is helping extend the life of Medicare’s hospital trust fund
to 2026, two years beyond last year’s estimate,
officials said Friday.
They also reported,
however, that Social Security’s disability trust
fund, which pays monthly
benefits to disabled workers and their families, is
expected to be exhausted
by 2016. Social Security
will begin to run out of
money in 2033, nearly the
same timeframe as predicted last year.
Spending on Medicare
and other entitlement
programs remains a flash
point in the ongoing debate over federal spending
and deficit reduction, but
Democrats and Republicans have widely different
views of how to strengthen the financing of those
programs. Medicare’s six
trustees, who include
Treasury Secretary Jacob
Lew and Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius, urged
lawmakers to address the
financial challenges of
both Medicare and Social
Security as soon as possible, an unlikely outcome
in the ongoing partisan
environment.
Nearly 50 million people
are enrolled in Medicare,
the health care program
for the nation’s elderly and
disabled. Enrollment is expected to grow to 80 million by 2030.
The Medicare spending
projections also encompass areas of current law
that are not likely to remain, such as a 25 percent
payment cut for Medicare
physician services scheduled to take effect on Jan.
1 that trustees say “is
highly unlikely.”
Trustee Robert Reischauer said it would be
a mistake to make too
much of the two-year extension on the life of the
Medicare hospital trust
fund. The Medicare projections involved a lot of
uncertainty, he said, both
on the legislative front
— Congress will likely
stop the scheduled Medicare physician payment
cut, for example — and
from the cost impact that
new technologies, drugs
and medical devices will
have. Those “historically
have tended to push up
costs,” he said.
Medicare trustees said
the improved solvency
estimate of the trust fund,
which covers Medicare
Part A payments for inpatient hospital services
and other facilities, was
due largely to lower than
expected spending on
Medicare services — especially for skilled nursing facilities — and lower
projected costs for the
Medicare Advantage program, where private insurers provide health benefits to about 27 percent
of Medicare enrollees.
The growth of individual beneficiaries’ costs also
declined to an historic
low of 1.7 percent a year
between 2010 and 2012
and is expected to remain lower than the rate
of economic growth over
the next decade, Sebelius
said at a news conference.
She also announced
that the lower overall Medicare spending
means that premiums for
Medicare Part B, which
covers physicians visits and other outpatient
services, “won’t increase
a single dime” in 2014
over their current level
of $104.90 a month.
Sebelius and other
administration officials
said Friday that the 2010
health care law played
a major role in the improved Medicare projections. Medicare spending

“With the health care
law, our goal was to put
the Medicare program on
more stable footing,” Sebelius said. “Not by cutting
benefits, but by putting
reforms in place to ensure
that Medicare dollars were
spent more wisely.”
Paul Spitalnic, the acting chief actuary for the
Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services,
echoed earlier actuarial
concerns when he noted
a potential problem. Over
the long term, he wrote,
some of the health law’s
changes would cause
Medicare payment rates
for home health, hospital
and other services to drop
below those now paid by
the Medicaid program,
“which have already led
to access problems for
Medicaid enrollees.”
Mary R. Grealy, president of the industry
group Healthcare Leadership Council, said the
report’s core message
was that the program’s
“financial future remains
in jeopardy and structural
reform is essential.” But
rather than further reduce
provider payments, “Congress needs to move forward with improvements
that drive greater value
and cost containment by
investing Medicare beneficiaries with greater powers of consumer choice,”
she said in a statement.

Dear Editor,
I’d like to opine on two separate issues.
First it annoyed me that Gilmore Cemetery hadn’t been mowed just prior to Memorial Day.
Shifting gears, a pronouncement regarding a selected structure in the publishing
criteria for letters. Although it’s clearly
stated that thanks to organizations and individuals won’t be printed, this rule doesn’t
seem to be uniformly enforced.
Recently a family expressed appreciation
to Holzer Senior Care and named several
individuals. I have no problem with such
letters. In fact I think such ought to be
printed, but a few years ago when a sister
died (a much valued employee of the ambulatory surgery unit), and I submitted a
similar epistle, the office rejected it.
It suggested that since my opinion was
personal and not a community interest, I
might consider purchasing a box announcement, a rationale that mystified me.

Support you local golf course
Dear Editor,
The Meigs County Public Golf Course
has operated under new management for
several months.
During this time, John and Kristin McGee, along with their employees, have
worked hard to improve the course. The
greens are in excellent condition, and new
equipment has been purchased to better
maintain the fairways and tee boxes. The
irrigation system has been repaired and
used extensively.
The public is fortunate to have this improved facility, and I encourage everyone
who might be interested to check it out.
The golf course is well suited for players of
all ages and women as well as men.
My son recently told me that introducing
him to the game of golf as a youngster was
one of the best things that I had ever done
for him as he continues to enjoy the game
with friends and family. It is also great to
see people in their 70s, 80s and even 90s
still enjoying the game.
The Meigs County Golf Course is owned
by Meigs County.

Reader: We should be concerned about bee population
Dear Editor,
Bees are an important part of the food
chain, and therefore their diminishment
should properly concern us. The recent
dwindling of bee populations is sometimes
ascribed to “colony collapse disorder,” in
which worker bees abruptly depart from
the hive and never return.
It’s surmised that certain pesticides
called “neonic” prompt this bizarre behavior. And these pesticides are applied
to much of American farmland. (Source:
www.progressive.org)
Probably much besides “neonic” effected
the damage wrought. Yet the global decrease of wild and domesticated pollinators
should arouse the curiosity of the scientific
community and the general public.

Dentist disappointed
with broken BWC
Dear Editor,
The BWC was created to help injured
workers to recover and find new jobs or return to old jobs with adaptations as needed.
Everyone knows that any recipient of BWC
services has to hire a lawyer to get help with
such things as tooth repair, medical needs
and most of all rehabilitation services to get
back to work. We were in a position to help a
man with broken out teeth but even though
he had a lawyer, BWC would not pay for this
very needed service. How would you like to
go on interviews with broken out front teeth
due to an industrial injury?
This agency is broken and has been stealing money from the injured workers as well
as small business employers who were overcharged for years. They need to repay every
cent owed now. They need serve injured
workers without the necessity of legal intervention. If they cannot do that because they
are ill equipped, I think the BWC should be
abolished completely and all injured workers
referred to the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (BVR) where they can obtain substantial help to get a job. BVR services include medical restoration, job training, and
help with job placement including modifications in the workplace. Injured workers can
easily qualify for these services.
As a small business owner I have been
overcharged for eight years. I could have
put that money into hiring new people or
providing additional training for my staff.
As everyone knows small business is the engine that drives our economy and is the basis for the large companies that have grown
out of small ones. Instead of new hiring I
have been forced to cut back on four positions. That means four more people out of
work. We need to change this now!

OPEC keeps oil
output target at 30
million barrels
VIENNA (AP) — OPEC oil ministers reached quick
agreement Friday on keeping output targets steady
but deferred solutions on how to deal with surging
U.S. shale oil production and internal rivalries denting the organization’s image of unity.
The 12-nation oil cartel’s decision on keeping the
status quo on production of 30 million barrels a day
was expected. The price for internationally traded
benchmark oil is over $100 a barrel, a level most
OPEC countries are happy with.
That’s not the case for OPEC’s customers. With Europe
fighting a stubborn economic downturn and recovery
weak in many other parts of the globe, most governments
consider oil pricey, as do consumers at the gas pump.
But OPEC Secretary General Abdullah Al-Badry
said much of the end price was due to add-ons beyond
producers’ control.
“‘You fill your tank with cost of oil plus taxes,” he told
reporters. “If governments want to…. do something to
the price, they should reduce their taxes.”
In a post-meeting statement, the ministers suggested they could hold an emergency meeting on
reducing output should market prices fall substantially. Analysts, however, said such a sharp drop in
the markets was unlikely in the short run, despite
generally tepid global economic growth.
“Geopolitical tensions are holding the price of oil high,”
said John Hall of Alfa Energy, alluding to turmoil in Syria
and tensions over the nuclear program of OPEC member
Iran. “OPEC doesn’t have to act; the market is acting for it.”
On Friday, the price of oil was down slightly, in line
with global markets. Brent crude, a benchmark contract
for many international oil varieties, was 70 cents lower at
$101.49 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Beyond prices and output, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries faces more complex issues.
The rise in shale oil production in the U.S., the world’s
biggest economy, has an impact on OPEC as the country
remains a main market for OPEC. Shale oil, which is extracted by combining horizontal drilling with a practice
called hydraulic fracturing, helped lift the U.S.’s total output to a daily 7.4 million barrels per day this month.
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.
(AP) — Despite an unresolved dispute over Asian carp, states that
surround the Great Lakes hope
to develop a common strategy for
battling invasive species during a
meeting of governors and other
top officials that began Friday.
The sometimes contentious issue
is among several up for discussion
during a weekend gathering of the
Council of Great Lakes Governors
on this Lake Huron resort island.
From New York to Minnesota,
there’s broad agreement that invasive species — particularly zebra and quagga mussels — have
wreaked havoc on the lakes’ ecosystems and the regional economy. But
the states have largely gone their
own way in dealing with them.
“We’re talking about the largest
body of fresh water in the world,”
said Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, the
council’s co-chairman along with Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. “It is important
that we work hard to protect it.”
In addition to Snyder and Quinn,
governors expected to attend the
meeting included Mike Pence of Indiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin.
Ohio sent Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. Environmental regulators and other of-
ficials from Minnesota, Pennsylvania
and New York were on hand, along
with Premier Kathleen Wynne of the
Canadian province of Ontario and
provincial officials from Quebec.
The council was established three
decades ago during another Mackinac Island gathering inspired largely
by concern that Great Lakes water
might be piped or shipped to arid regions. Off-and-on negotiations eventually produced a compact prohibiting most water diversions.
Snyder, convening the first gathering of the governors since they
signed the compact in 2005, said he
hoped they could unite on invasive
species policy as well but acknowledged differences remain.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylvania filed an unsuccessful federal lawsuit against Illinois over a Chicago-area network of
canals and rivers that could provide a
pathway to Lake Michigan for Asian
carp. The huge, voracious fish have
infested the Mississippi River and
its tributaries. Scientists say if they
reach the Great Lakes, the carp could
damage the $7 billion fishing industry by crowding out native species.
Illinois officials, backed by the federal government, contend an electric
barrier is keeping the carp at bay.
The other states are pushing for separation of the Mississippi and Great
Lakes watersheds at Chicago.
Snyder told reporters no public
negotiations were planned on the
matter, although he and Quinn might
discuss it privately. The meeting is
designed to seek a strategy on which
all the states can agree even if some
issues remain unresolved, he said.
“This is a common-ground opportunity … to say where can we advance and where can we show progress,” Snyder said.
Marc Miller, director of the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources,
said his state had arranged for commercial fishermen to harvest 700
tons of Asian carp on the Illinois
River in recent years.
“That takes the pressure off the
electric barrier and buys all of us
some time in finding a long-term
solution,” which could include some
type of watershed separation, he said.
The states also will look for agreement on the best way to regulate
ballast water dumped by oceangoing
cargo ships, the primary vehicle by
which aquatic invasive species have
reached the Great Lakes.
Four firefighters killed in Houston motel fire
HOUSTON (AP) —
Four firefighters searching for people they
thought might be trapped
in a blazing Houston motel and restaurant Friday
were killed when the part
of the structure collapsed
and ensnared them, authorities said.
At least five other firefighters were hospitalized
in the blaze that became
the deadliest in the 118year history of the Houston Fire Department.
Flames were shooting from the roof of the
Southwest Inn, along one
of Houston’s most heavily traveled freeways, U.S.
Highway 59, and black
smoke was blanketing the
area as firefighters tried to
extinguish the fire.
Three firefighters were
killed at the scene, while
the fourth died at a hospital, according to the
mayor’s office and a medical examiner. Five other
people were injured and
were hospitalized for
treatment of chest pains
or leg injuries.
“We took the highest
amount of risk possible because we thought we had
civilians in the structure,”
Fire Chief Terry Garrison
said. “The structure collapsed and our members
who were trying to save
lives were lost.”
Garrison said everyone
else has since been accounted for. A cause of
the blaze hasn’t yet been
determined.
The loss of life is the single worst in the history of
the department, which had
counted 64 firefighters lost
since the city began paying
firefighters in 1895. Twice
previously, two firefighters
were killed in a single fire,
in 1953 and most recently
in 2000. Three firefighters
died in 1929 when a train
slammed broadside into
their engine.
“Unfortunately,
the
building had much more
fire in it than we originally
thought,” Garrison said.
“We do know there was a
collapse and it caused our
firefighters to get trapped.”
When a flag-draped
body was removed from
the smoldering remains
around 4 p.m., some four
hours after the blaze
broke out, firefighters
— working in swirling
winds, steamy humidity and temperatures
exceeding 90 degrees
— paused and saluted.
A procession of ambulances, under police motorcycle escort, left the
scene about 90 minutes
later and made a ceremonial drive past the fallen
firefighters’ station, by
then draped in black.
“We will provide appropriate services to our fallen
firefighters and full honors, but there is nothing
we can do that will heal the
hurt that we all feel today,”
Mayor Annise Parker said.
“I ask for every Houstonian
to offer their prayers to the
families of these fallen firefighters, and also to think
about what the job of firefighter is and the dangers
they face every day.”
The fire department
identified the dead firefighters as Capt. Matthew Renaud, 35, an
11-year veteran of the
department;
Engineer
Operator Robert Bebee, 41, who joined the
department almost 12
years ago; Firefighter
Robert Garner, 29, who
joined the department
12½ years ago; and Probationary Firefighter Anne
Sullivan, 24, who graduated from the department’s
training academy in April.

Meigs County Sheriff’s Office begins house check program
shawley@civitasmedia.com
MEIGS COUNTY —
A new program by the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Office can provide peace
of mind to those who are
away from home.
Meigs County Sheriff
Keith Wood said on Friday that his office would
begin conducting home
checks for Meigs County
residents who are away
from home for an extended period of time.
Those interested in
participating in the home
check program can register by completing a form
on
www.meigssheriff.
org. The form takes less
than five minutes to com-
plete and is submitted
directly to Meigs County
Sheriff’s Office officials.
As part of the program,
road deputies will check
houses or properties at
random throughout the
day.
The program can be
utilized by those going
on vacation, being hospitalized for a period of
time or any other reason which may require a
person to be away from
home.
According
to
the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Office website, the program does not guarantee
that someone will be the
house 24 hours a day;
the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office is not liable
for anything that would
happen to the property;
Deputies will check the
house when they are
available, depending on
call volume; and house
checks will be incorporated into their routine
patrol.
Major Scott Trussell
of the Meigs County
Sheriff ’s Office stated
that four individuals had
signed up for the service
in the first day that it was
available to residents.
In
addition,
Sheriff Wood encouraged
neighbors to look out
for neighbors and to report anything suspicious
to the office by calling
(740) 992-3371.
Judge orders
Google to give
customer
data to FBI
60420309
Sarah Hawley
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— A federal judge has ruled
that Google Inc. must comply with the FBI’s warrantless demands for customer
data, rejecting the company’s
argument that the government’s practice of issuing
so-called national security
letters to telecommunication
companies, Internet service
providers and banks and others was unconstitutional and
unnecessary.
FBI
counter-terrorism
agents began issuing the
secret letters, which don’t
require a judge’s approval, after Congress passed the USA
Patriot Act in the wake of the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The letters are used to
collect unlimited kinds of
sensitive, private information, such as financial and
phone records and have
prompted complaints of
government privacy violations in the name of national
security. Many of Google’s
services, including its dominant search engine and the
popular Gmail application,
have become daily habits for
millions of people.
In a ruling written May
20 and obtained Friday,
U.S. District Court Judge
Susan Illston ordered
Google to comply with the
FBI’s demands.
But she put her ruling
on hold until the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals
could decide the matter.
Until then, the Mountain
View, Calif.-based company
must comply with the letters unless it showed the
FBI didn’t follow proper
procedures in making its
demands for customer data
in the 19 letters Google is
challenging, she said.
After receiving sworn
statements from two topranking FBI officials, Illston
said she was satisfied that
17 of the 19 letters were issued properly. She wanted
more information on two
other letters.
It was unclear from the
judge’s ruling what type
of information the government sought to obtain with
the letters. It was also unclear who the government
was targeting.
The decision from the
San Francisco-based Illston
comes several months after she ruled in a separate
case brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation
over the letters. She ruled
in March that the FBI’s demand that recipients refrain
from telling anyone — including customers — that
they had received the letters was a violation of free
speech rights.
Kurt Opsah, an attorney
with the foundation, said it
could be many more months
before the appeals court rules
on the constitutionality of the
letters in the Google case.
“We are disappointed
that the same judge who declared these letters unconstitutional is now requiring
compliance with them,”
Opsah said on Friday.
Illston’s May 20 order
omits any mention of
Google or that the proceedings have been closed to
the public. But the judge
said “the petitioner” was
involved in a similar case
filed on April 22 in New
York federal court.
Public records show that
on that same day, the federal government filed a “petition to enforce National
Security Letter” against
Google after the company
declined to cooperate with
government demands.

Lady Tigers tame Southern in semis, 9-0
Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — At the
end of the night, the most important
thing for the Lady Tornadoes was
that they were simply there.
Southern made its first regional
appearance in a girls sport in over
three decades Thursday night, but
visiting Strasburg Franklin ultimately needed just one-half inning to
spoil the return following a 9-0 decision in a Division IV regional semifinal matchup at Pickerington High
School Central in Fairfield County.
The Lady Tornadoes (18-11) were
outhit 9-4 overall in the contest and
committed all four errors in the contest, each of which came in the first
three innings of play. The Lady Ti-
gers (27-5) took advantage of those
early miscues while establishing an
8-0 cushion after three full frames.
Southern managed its first baserunner of the night with a leadoff single in the fourth from Ali Deem and
later got a one-out single from Baylee
Hupp in the fifth, but both runners
were unable to score — making it an
8-0 contest through five complete.
SFHS tacked on an insurance
run in the top of the sixth after Ariel Jones singled and later scored to
make it a 9-0 advantage.
Southern’s best scoring opportunity came in the bottom half of the
sixth, as Halley Hill delivered a oneout single and Deem doubled to put
runners at second and third with two
away. SHS, however, followed with
an infield pop-up to end the threat,
then went down in order in the seventh to wrap up the nine-run setback.
Strasburg Franklin will face Newark Catholic in the D-4 regional final
at PHSC at noon Saturday.
As for the Lady Tornadoes, they
end a season that saw the school earn
just its third regional appearance in
a girls sport — with the other two
coming in softball (1982) and basketball (1983). It also marks the final
game for seniors Maggie Cummins,
Kyrie Swann and Jaclyn Mees —
who each played an integral role in
getting SHS to this point.

LANCASTER, Ohio —Southern out hit Newark Catholic Thursday night but the Tornado defense dropped the
ball.
The Southern baseball team committed eight errors
and surrendered 11 unearned runs in the Division IV regional semifinal at Beavers Field where SHS fell to the
Green Wave 12-2.
The Tornadoes (24-7) got on the board in the top of the
first inning when Hunter Johnson scored on a two-out
single by Adam Pape. The Green Wave (21-10) answered
with a pair of runs in the home half of the first to take the
lead. NCHS plated four more runs in the second inning to
go up 6-1 despite having just two hits.
Southern’s Zac Beegle singled to lead off the top of the
third inning and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Danny
Ramthun. The lone earned run given up by the Tornadoes
came in the fourth inning when Hunter Nance drove in
David Meurer to push the NCHS lead back to five runs.
The Purple and Gold were retired in order in the top
of the fifth and the Green Wave picked up where it left
off in the bottom half. Newark Catholic scored four runs
on one hit and three errors in the home half of the fifth
frame, pushing the lead to 12-2 and securing the mercy
rule victory.
“Being down changed how we would have played some
situations but we scored a couple runs,” Southern coach
Ryan Lemley said. “Offense and pitching were right where
I expected us to be but the bottom line is defensively we
didn’t get it done.”
Senior Danny Ramthun was the losing pitcher of record
and he falls to 10-1 on the season. Ramthun gave up five
hits and one earned run, while walking one batter, hitting
two and striking out five.
NCHS senior James Thomas earned the victory after
giving up two earned runs on six hits and two walks in
four innings of work. This was just the first career start
for Thomas, who struck out three batters. Drew Buchanan pitched a perfect fifth inning for the Green Wave and
struck out one batter.
The Tornadoes offense was paced by the number nine
hitter Beegle with a 2-for-2 effort, while Johnson, Pape,
Chandler Drummer and Brandon Moodispaugh were
each 1-for-2. Pape and Ramthun each marked one run batted in, while Johnson and Beegle each scored a run.

RUSHVILLE, Ohio — Meigs County will be
sending a total of eight athletes from two different
schools to six different state events next weekend
following the conclusion of the 2013 Division III
Southeast Regional Track and Field Championships Friday night at Fairfield Union High School.
The Eastern Lady Eagles qualified for three more
state events on Friday night, which pushed their
grand total to five events during the two-day championships at Jesse Owens Stadium. Southern also
got a state berth from Kody Wolfe, the lone boy from
Meigs County to qualify out to the state level.
The Lady Eagles had already qualified for state in
the 4x800m relay (Taylor Palmer, Keri Lawrence,
Maddie Rigsby and Asia Michael) and in the high
jump (Rigsby) as of Wednesday night, and EHS
added to that total by advancing to Columbus in another relay and two individual events.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The

could be fired for any more verbal

Trustees warned Gordon Gee that

his message across June 8 when he’s
scheduled to give the commencement address at St. Frances DeSales
High School in Columbus, a Roman
Catholic school.
Gee has a history of headlinegrabbing remarks, though none
of those elicited such a strong response from trustees.
In 2011, it was revealed that then
football coach Jim Tressel had known
for months of allegations that some
players had traded memorabilia for
cash and tattoos, but failed to tell his
superiors in violation of his contract
and NCAA regulations.
Asked if he would consider firing Tressel, Gee said: “No, are
you kidding? Let me be very
clear: I’m just hoping the coach
doesn’t dismiss me.”
In 2010, Gee belittled several top
football programs by saying they had
weak schedules he likened to playing
the “the Little Sisters of the Poor.”
He later apologized and made a donation to the religious order.
In their March letter, the trustees laid out steps Gee must take
including issuing personal apologies, getting help from professionals to revisit his personal communications and speechwriting
processes, and rethinking what
speaking engagements he accepts.
Trustees told Gee that his attempts “to bring a bit of levity” to
significant issues have had the opposite effect at times.
“As a result, instead of your words
promoting and uniting us, they have
sometimes embarrassed and divided us,” said board Chairman Robert Schottenstein and Trustee Alex
Shumate, who led the search committee that hired Gee in 2007, in the
three-page letter obtained through a
public records request.

The quartet of Maddie Rigsby, Keri Lawrence, Jenna Burdette and Savannah Hawley are
headed to state in the 4x400m
relay event after placing fourth
overall with a time of 4:09.60.
Taylor Palmer qualified for
state in the 1600m run with a
fourth-place time of 5:26.89,
while Cassidy Cleland earned a
state spot after finishing second
in the discus event with a heave
of 115 feet, 8 inches.
Lawrence twice missed out on
qualifying in hurdles events, placing fifth overall in both the 100m
(16.23) and 300m (47.53) contests. Lawrence missed fourth
place in the 100m hurdles by fourone-thousandths of a second.
Rigsby was sixth in the 800m
run with a time of 2:25.26, while
Palmer placed 14th in the same
race with a mark of 2:37.78. Burdette was also eighth overall in the
long jump with a leap of 15 feet,
4.25 inches.
Asia Michael was sixth in
the 3200m run with a time of
12:11.98, while Katie Keller was
seventh in the discus event with a
throw of 102 feet, 10 inches.
The foursome of Burdette, Hawley, Jordan Parker and Kelsey Johnson finished seventh in the 4x100m
relay (53.48) and was eighth overall in the 4x200m relay (1:54.04).
The Eastern girls finished as the
overall runner-up with 50 points,
finishing behind only eventual
champion Columbus Academy
and its 63 points. Southern finished 35th overall out of 43 scoring teams with three points.
Jennifer McCoy accounted
for the three Lady Tornado
points after finishing sixth
in the 1600m run with a time
of 5:39.78. McCoy was also
ninth in the 3200m run with a
mark of 12:31.85.
Senior and future Ohio Bobcat
Kody Wolfe scored all eight of the
Tornadoes’ points after finishing
second in the 3200m run with a
mark of 9:39.24, which was good
enough for a state berth. Southern tied with Valley, Riverdale and
South Central for 21st place with
eight team markers.
South Gallia junior Jacob
White made school history by
finishing seventh overall in the
shot put event with a distance of
47 feet, 4 inches. It is the highest regional finish for a SGHS
track athlete and the most
points ever scored at a regional
meet, as White’s two points surpass the one point and eighth
place finish by Steven Call in the
1600m run back in 2007.
The Rebels, with their two
points, finished in a three-way
tie for 37th place with Waterford and Crestline. Columbus
Academy (89) and Seneca East
(60) were the top two teams
out of 41 scoring squads.

“Such comments are not befitting a great university like
Ohio State or its leadership,” the letter continued. It added:
“Although we do not believe that you intended harm, such
comments risk diminishing the effectiveness of our collective
efforts and of your good work.”
The letter said Gee is making progress on the board’s list of requirements.
“Your willingness to seek guidance and counsel on multiple levels,
from a variety of sources, on how to adapt and grow is a hallmark of
your leadership style and one that we value highly,” the letter said.
University and athletic conference officials have almost universally called Gee’s remarks inappropriate but also said his
apology has been accepted.
After receiving the March 11 letter, Gee began to publicly address
his occasional misspeaking, such as these remarks on March 29 at
the downtown Columbus Metropolitan Club.
“Even as my world view has greatly expanded, I have at times
misstepped,” he said.
“It is no secret that my attempts at humor, to break the tension,
to ease myself into a challenging moment, to establish rapport, have
sometimes had quite the opposite effect,” Gee continued. “But let
me just say this: Those kinds of off-hand comments do not reflect
my own thinking and certainly they are not the Ohio State ideals.
Twentieth century values have no place in a forward thinking world,
and I take that very much as my own responsibility as a leader.”
His choice of the Metropolitan Club was telling. It was there, on
Jan. 11, 2012, he talked about the problem of coordinating 18 divisions such as independent schools and colleges. “It was kind of like
the Polish army or something,” Gee said in that speech.

went 2-for-2, pacing the
victors, while Mitch Lohr
was 1-for-1 off of the
bench. Meurer scored
three times, while Mike
Lohr and James Thomas
each crossed the plate
twice. The RBI leader
for Newark Catholic was
Nance, with three.
Southern has had it’s
season ended by NCHS for
seven consecutive seasons,
including twice with a shot
at the final four on the line.
“When we’ve come up
here and haven’t played
Newark Catholic we’ve
won,” said Lemley “So
it bothers me a little bit
but at the same time that
is an extremely talented,
well coached team that
really may be one of the
best in Division IV.”
This marks the third
time in the seven year
stretch where NCHS has
defeated Southern via
mercy rule, and the first
time since 2009.
The Green Wave defeated Tuscarawas Central
Catholic 10-0 in six innings
Friday night to secure their
ninth trip to the state tournament since 2002.
This marks the final
game for the SHS seniors Danny Ramthun,
Adam Pape and Cole
Graham. Pape and Ramthun finish their senior
seasons with a combine
18-2 pitching record.

“It’s tough right now, especially for the seniors, but these
kids have certainly raised the
bar for this softball program,”
Crisp said. “Anything in the
next few years that isn’t a district championship is going to
be considered a bad year, and
that’s a good thing to have headed into the future.
“With that said, I cannot say
enough about my three seniors
and the leadership they’ve
given us this year. We didn’t
have any problems and we just
played the game, so those returnees have some really big
shoes to fill next year.”
Strasburg Franklin sent 10 batters to the plate in the top-half of
the first, which led to five runs
on five hits and two SHS errors.
The Lady Tigers scored twice in
the second and added another
run in the third for an 8-0 edge,
and a run from each of those two
frames resulted from an error.
Kristina LaRocca was the win-
ning pitcher of record after allowing four hits and zero walks over
seven innings while striking out
three. Jordan Huddleston suffered the setback after surerendering nine runs (four earned),
nine hits and two walks over
seven frames while fanning one.
Deem led Southern with two
hits, followed by Hupp and Hill
with one apiece. SHS stranded
just two runners on base, while
SFHS left four on the bags.
Karly Dibacco and Mariah
Crites paced the Lady Tigers
with two hits apiece, followed
by Jones, Ray, Tea Burlingame,
Amanda Dreher and Caitlyn Gesoner with a safety apiece.
Crisp noted that in getting
to regionals, he feels that his
program has earned some long
overdue respect. Now, he simply
wants things to go forward from
where they are right now.
“It’s been nice to join the
baseball team in having people talking about what we’re
doing at regionals this time
of year. We had signs from
here to Athens on the way
up here tonight,” Crisp said.
“It’s just been a great year for
the program and the kids, and
I am really happy and thankful that we had the opportunity for this to happen. Now
we just need to build on what
we’ve done this year.”
SHS finished the year with a
12-4 mark in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division, which
was good enough for sole possession of third place behind cochamps Eastern and Wahama.

Dover CEO McGlynn explains JGR’s penalties appeal
McGlynn said the panel
entered the appeal “thinking with more flexibility”
because penalties against
Penske Racing had been
reduced a week earlier
by chief appellate officer
John Middlebrook.
NASCAR
discovered
during the post-race inspection that one of eight
connecting rods in the engine at the April 21 race
did not meet the minimum
weight requirement. The
part was too light by 3
grams, less than the weight
of an envelope.
Kenseth was stripped
of 50 driver points, lost
bonus points for the win,
and his win didn’t count
toward his eligibility for
a wild-card berth in the
Chase. Crew chief Jason
Ratcliff was suspended six
races and fined $200,000.
Owner Joe Gibbs had his
license suspended, among
other penalties.
Toyota, which supplies
the JGR engines through
Costa Mesa, Calif.-based
TRD, accepted responsibility and insisted one light
rod did not give Kenseth
a performance advantage.
The panel of McGlynn,
Mark Arute, general manager of Stafford Motor
Speedway in Connecticut
and Jack Housby, who
fielded cars in the 1970s
and ’80s, agreed Toyota
was to blame.

THE PLAINS, Ohio —
One thing is certain after

OVP area lands 17 on SE District baseball teams
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
The Ohio Valley Publishing
area had a total of 17 Ohioans
chosen to the All-Southeast
District Baseball Teams for the
2013 season, as voted on by the
baseball coaches within the respective district.
All six Ohio programs —
Gallia Academy, River Valley,
Meigs, Southern, Eastern and
South Gallia — each had at
least two selections in their
respective divisions. The Blue
Devils led the way with five
choices, including the area’s
only coach of the year honoree.
GAHS skipper Rich Corvin
shared coach of the year honors in the Division II South
ranks with Waverly’s Jeff
Noble, both of whom met in
the district final at Bob Wren
Stadium. The 10th-year mentor guided the Blue Devils to
a program-best 25-4 overall
mark and a third-straight outright SEOAL championship.
Ty Warnimont, Jimmy Clagg
and Gus Graham were all
named to the D-2 South Division first team, while Tiffin
University signee Justin Bailey
was also selected to the honorable mention squad.
Meigs finished the year with
a 15-13 overall mark and also
picked up its third consecutive
sectional title in the process.
The Marauders had two first
team selections on the Division
III South in Taylor Rowe and
Treay McKinney.
River Valley picked up a rare
postseason victory on its way
to a 6-17 overall mark this past
spring. The Raiders landed
Nick Jeffers on the Division III
South second team and Trey
Farley came away with an honorable mention choice.
Southern won its second
straight TVC Hocking crown
and advanced to its eighth
straight regional tournament
while also posting consecutive
20-win seasons for the first
time in school history with a
24-7 overall campaign. The
Tornadoes landed Danny Ramthun and Adam Pape on the D-4
South first team, while Hunter
Johnson was chosen to the second team.
Eastern finished second in
the TVC Hocking and won its
eighth straight sectional title
this season with a 17-4 overall mark. The Eagles had D-4
South first team selections in
Joey Scowden and Christian
Speelman, while Ethan Nottingham was chosen to the second team.
South Gallia finished the
year with a 6-15 overall mark
and also picked up a tournament victory in the Division IV
postseason. The Rebels were
represented by Ethan Spurlock
on the first team and Gus Slone
as an honorable mention choice
in Division IV South.
Jason Wright of Oak Hill and
Phil Faires of Trimble were respectively named coaches of
the year in Division III and Division IV for the South District.

not just happy talk.”
Adjustments will be
made by both sides before
Saturday, of course. But at
this point, it’s more than
likely that the sides are
out of ways to tactically
surprise one another.
A play here, a play
there, that might be the
difference, and that sort
of thinking is shared by
both sides.
“It’s about effort,”
Pacers center Roy Hibbert said. “It’s about
who wants it more, who
wants to get that offensive rebound, who wants
to get that blocked shot,
who wants to get the
loose ball. We just have
to come out with more
determination. It’s not
anything the coaches can
tell us, it’s about what’s
in here. It’s lose or go
home right now.”
Sometimes, it’s not
even about what happens
on the court.
The Heat were losing 44-40 at halftime
on Thursday in Game
5, when veteran Juwan
Howard — who appeared in seven games
for all of 51 minutes this
season after being resigned by Miami — went
on a shouting spree in
the locker room. James
followed that up with a
fiery, slightly profane
speech of his own, and
Miami went on a 30-10
run not long afterward
that served as a springboard to victory.
“His purity, respect
level, the credibility that
he has, it resonates with
our guys and specifically
it resonates with the
guys in the locker room,”
Spoelstra said of Howard. “They hear what
he says. It means something. And it was raw
communication.
We’re
at that point right now
where it has to be real,
has to be raw, has to be
eye-to-eye. These are
desperate times. There’s
no looking back. It’s either us or them.”
James said Friday that
he couldn’t even remember specifics of some
things he had yelled the
previous night.
“Absolutely
not,”
James said. “You just let
the game speak for itself,
I guess.”
Vogel said he expects
that reserve forward
Tyler Hansbrough, who
sprained an ankle in the
second half of Game 5,
will be available on Saturday. Andersen, the
backup big man who is
15 for 15 from the floor
in the series and has
made his last 18 shots
overall, was suspended
Friday night for shoving
Hansbrough twice in the
second quarter, then not
backing away quickly
enough for a referee
who stepped in.
Dwyane Wade’s aching right knee is still
limiting him and Chris
Bosh’s numbers are nowhere near what the
Heat would want right
now, so the defending
champions aren’t exactly
at their best, either. Still,
the Pacers know that the
challenge they’re facing
now — needing to go 2-0
against Miami in a threeday span to get to the finals — is enormous.
“One game at a time,”
George said. “We have
to come home and play
a good game. Everybody
is going to have to step
up and play a huge role.
I know in the back of
their mind they want to
get the job done and be
finished. So we’re going
to have to come out and
bring it.”
Or else, the Heat will
be finals-bound, one
more time.
“The close-out game,”
Heat forward Shane Battier said, “is always the
toughest.”
60415652
MIAMI (AP) — Standing on the cusp of the
NBA Finals has tended
to agree with the Miami Heat in each of the
last two seasons. When
the Heat have gotten a
game away from the title
round, they’ve finished
the task as quickly as
possible.
And here they are
again.
A third straight Eastern Conference title is
now just one win away
for the reigning champions, though if the way
this series has gone so
far is an accurate indicator, that win will hardly
come easily. The Heat
— without suspended
forward Chris Andersen — will visit the Indiana Pacers on Saturday
night, leading the bestof-seven East finals 3-2
and in position to close
out their new rivals on
their own floor for the
second straight season.
“We’re desperate, too,”
Heat forward and fourtime NBA MVP LeBron James said Friday.
“We’re desperate to get
back to the NBA Finals.
So both teams are desperate in their own sense
of they’re trying to keep
their season alive and
we’re trying to advance.”
The teams have alternated wins and losses
through the first five
games, and if that trend
holds, then it’s the Pacers’ turn to prevail on
Saturday and send the series back to Miami for a
winner-goes-to-the-finals
Game 7 on Monday night.
If the Heat — who
have won each of their
last six potential seriescloseout games, including two in the 2011 and
2012 East finals — win,
then the championship
round against the San
Antonio Spurs will begin
in Miami on Thursday.
“You can’t start thinking about opening up the
invitation,” Heat coach
Erik
Spoelstra
said.
“That’s over there. You
can’t even think about
that.”
The Pacers saw their
season end a year ago on
their home floor, at Miami’s hand, in Game 6 of
a second-round series. So
Indiana’s biggest source
of motivation on Saturday may be the desire
to avoid the indignity of
watching Miami advance
in Indianapolis for a second straight season.
“Game 6 will really
determine how much
we’ve grown, because
we’ve been in the same
ditch, I guess, being in
the same predicament,”
Pacers star Paul George
said. “Going 2-2, losing
in Miami, then coming
back home and losing
at home. So we’ll see
where we’re at. We’ve
done well all year, especially in the postseason,
dealing with adversity
and overcoming games
where we didn’t play as
well as we wanted.”
The shirts in Indiana
say “Gold Swagger” for
a reason. Even down 3-2
against a team that hasn’t
lost back-to-back games
since early January, the
Pacers still have plenty of
confidence, and it starts
with a coach who came
into the series insisting
his club had genuine belief that it could knock
off the champions.
“It’s not just false talk,”
Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. “There’s a reason I’m confident. I like
to tell these guys that I’m
not an optimist. That’s
what my image is. I’m a
realist. And when I look
around at what I see in
the room when I’m talking to this team, and
what I see on the court,
and the level of execution
that we’re capable of … it
gives me real confidence
in this basketball team.
Our guys understand it’s

Big 12 Conference distributing $198M to 10 teams
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The
Big 12 Conference has gone
from the brink of collapse only
a few short years ago to record
revenue.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob
Bowlsby said Friday that the
league’s 10 schools will share
a record $198 million for
the 2012-13 school year, an
amount expected to increase
significantly going forward.
The eight continuing members of the Big 12 — Baylor,
Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas
State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma
State, Texas and Texas Tech
— will get about $22 million
each this time. Newcomers
TCU and West Virginia will
get half-shares for 2012-13,
about $11 million each from
their first year in the Big 12.
“We like the amount of money that we’re distributing on an
institution by institution basis. There’s a lot to like about
our current circumstance,”
Bowlsby said at the end of the
league’s spring meetings “And
I can understand some uneasiness, especially based on what
has gone on the last couple of
years. … I think our league is
rock-solid and we have done
everything we can, in the near
term and in the long term, to
keep this group of 10 schools
together in perpetuity. And I
think we also have done that
and maintained a full set of
prerogatives should circumstances change in the future.”
Big 12 teams shared $183
million in revenue in 201112, the last year in the league
for Texas A&M and Missouri
before their departures to the
Southeastern Conference.
TCU and West Virginia will
get higher percentages each of
the next two years before being fully-vested Big 12 members in 2015-16, by which time
Bowlsby said the league’s 10
teams should be getting about
$30 million each from the conference. That could reach $40
million within another decade
after that over the length of
the Big 12’s TV contract with
ESPN and Fox Sports.
And those figures don’t
even include third-tier broadcast rights, such as Texas’
agreement with ESPN for the
Longhorn Network. That 20year, $300 million partnership
between Texas and ESPN began before the 2011 football
season.

Woods has lots of work to do to defend at Memorial
he so often does at Muirfield,
where he’s won more than $5
million in his 13 appearances.
Typically, he owns the par-5
holes. He was 8 under on them a
year ago while finishing 9 under
to hold off Andres Romero and
Rory Sabbatini by two strokes.
This year, he’s only evenpar on them after the first two
rounds.
The most costly error was
a messy double-bogey at the
reachable par-5 15th, a hole that
he birdied three times in winning a year ago but on which he
is 3 over so far in the two times
he’s played it. He pulled a windblown second shot left of the
green onto a hillside, chipped
through the green, lipped out
a short pitch and three-putted
from 5 feet.
“It’s the way this golf course
is playing right now,” Woods
said. “You have to take advantage of certain holes, the
downwind holes for sure.
Some of the par-5s are playing
a little more difficult than others, but you can shoot a round
under par here.
“You just have to really play
well.”
So far, he hasn’t met his own
lofty standards. After his opening 71, Woods said he wasn’t
happy with his accuracy with
an iron in his hands.
In blustery conditions on
Friday, he and playing partners Keegan Bradley and Fred
Couples each struggled to figure out the swirling winds. At
the par-3 fourth, Woods and
caddie Joe LaCava deliberated
for a full minute on what club
to use on the 181-yard hole. He
ended up with a relatively easy
two-putt par.
At his final hole, the difficult
ninth, Woods drove to an ideal
location in the heart of the fairway and had a lofted club to
the green. But a burst of wind
knocked the ball down as it came
out of a chute of trees that line
the fairway and it came up short
of the green. Woods then flopped
on a flop shot, leaving the ball in
the rough, before chipping onto
the green and making a bogey.
“With a couple of holes left, I
felt like I had a good chance to
at least get to even-par for my
round,” Woods said. “I caught
a huge gust on the last hole and
barely got over the water.”
Woods is usually primed for
the weekend at the Memorial.
In his wins, he has been on the
lead or within two shots four
times through 36 holes.
But in 2009, he had to make
a charge after trailing by six
strokes while tied for 24th going into Saturday. He shot a
68 in the third round to cut his
margin to four strokes, then
closed with a sterling 65 to
hold off Jim Furyk by a shot.
Despite the gap he faces this
year, Woods does not believe he
cannot win. He never does.
Asked if he ever looks back at
the midpoint of a tournament
and wonders if it just isn’t his
week, he smiled and said, “I
haven’t won every tournament
I’ve played in.”
Left unsaid was that he never
concedes anything at a place
where he has such a remarkable
track record.
“We’ll see what happens,” he
added.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Tiger Woods has won a record

Special needs parenting: I did NOT sign-up for this!
The lunacy of state
standardized testing
Jodi Hobbs
This is an open letter
to lawmakers, parents,
educators and the general
public. My bipolar/add/
LHON/anxiety eight-yearold daughter was pushed
into a mental nightmare
that no child should ever
endure. I almost lost the
life of my only daughter.
Statistically, it’s easy
and brief to explain what
mandatory state testing
of third through eighth
graders every fall and
spring has been proven to
predict or prove. Nothing.
I was unable to find a single, peer-reviewed study
that clearly demonstrated
that the testing provided
current or future educational benefits or indicators of student success in
college, graduate school
or entrepreneurship.
The victims of these
“achievement”
tests,
which are more pseudoscience than anything
else, are the growing
number of young children
suffering anxiety, depression and worse due to
the weeks and sometimes
months of classroom time
spent only on prepping
for the test. Children are
told again and again how
important their performance is to both themselves and the school.
My children’s e-school,
OHVA, gave the Ohio Academic Achievement Tests
(OAAs) in late April and
early May of 2013. My
special needs daughter had
an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) from the
previous year that granted
her accommodations, including but not limited to,
one-on-one testing by a familiar proctor and that she
be watched for signs of migraine/stress/vision loss/
etc. Her reading test was
scheduled for a Monday
morning, and we drove to
the testing site that had no
way to dim or brighten the
lights, another accommodation in her IEP. I personally spoke to the teacher
who was to give her the
test and left her in her
care. Under the terms of
her IEP, a parent was supposed to remain in close
proximity for medical reasons — but all parents
were told that we would
have to remain outside.
When she came out of
the building, the teacher
walked her out and stated
how well she did. We walked
over toward the playground
equipment where my Asperger/bipolar/ADHD/
PANDAS Syndrome son
was playing. In the bright
light, I saw the blood under my daughter’s hair and
all over her scalp. I knew
she was anxious about the
test, but she had dug lac-

fireblight (Erwinia amylovora), a bacteria disease is showing up in ornamental callery pears,
crabapples, apples and

the disease are the presence of blighted leaves
and blossoms near the
tips of branches. Initially

one took a torch to the
branch, hence the common name fireblight. Normally they are found
randomly throughout the tree.
Another characteristic is the forming of a
“shepherd’s crook” at the tip end. Stems will
develop a blackened ring at the base of the
blacked twig. If it continues into the trunk, look
for sunken cankers with cracks. The infectious
bacteria waits in these cankers until conditions
are again ready for the bacteria to spread (cool,
wet spring like weather). The disease cycle begins each spring as the overwintered bacteria in
the cankers ooze out and attract bees and other
insects. The insects then fly or crawl onto blossoms, fruit, shoots and leaves carrying the infectious bacteria on their legs and mouth pieces.
Pruning equipment can also spread the bacteria.
How to prevent the disease? Grow disease resistant varieties of the fruit trees and ornamental
trees (i.e. pears resistant to fireblight; Magness,
Maxine, Honeysweet).When pruning out fireblight infected twigs cut off at least 8-10 inches
below the blackened area on the stem. Between
each cut use either 10 percent solution of the
bleach or 70 percent solution of rubbing alcohol. Burn the cut infected branches. Commercial
growers spray their trees with copper material
sprays (i.e. Kocide) when the trees are dormant
to help kill the initial infection.

Just a quick update as to the progress of containing the foreign Asian Longhorned Beetle
discovered in June 2011 in Clermont County
Ohio (near Cincinnati).
Over 61 square miles of land have been declared a regulated area. Over 436,000 trees surveyed for possible damage and host trees for
the insect. Confirmed trees infested with Asian
Longhorned Beetles number 9.805 with 9,385
trees so far removed. For further information
go online to www.AsianLonghornedBeetle.com.
Do our US borders need to be watched better?
Just ask homeowners who are battling the Multicolored Asiatic beetle, Brown Marmolated Stink

(fruit fly).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
June 3, 2013:
This year you express a willingness
to experiment and head down a different path. You are very serious and
focused at times, yet others often find
you to be mystical and remote. Some
people could feel insecure about the
traits you exhibit. If you are single,
an admirer will pursue you because
of your multifaceted personality. If
this person doesn’t accept you as
you are, let him or her go. If you are
attached, the two of you will need to
communicate better in order to stay
on the same page. ARIES reads you
cold.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHHH An idea might seem
nearly magical in the way that it just
pops into your head. You have been
doing a lot of processing lately. Let
go of a need to be so rigid, and go
with the flow. The challenge will be to
stay appropriate while honoring your
uniqueness. Tonight: As you like.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You might not agree, but
the smart move is to say little and
remain focused on what you want.
Everyone has his or her special
uniqueness, as do you. Accept this
fact. The end results could be dynamic. Tonight: Play it low-key. Curl up
with a good book or relax to a movie.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You know exactly what you
want, and you refuse to be distracted.
Someone you work with could inspire
you to keep going toward a special
goal. Sometimes you are very hard
on yourself and question your abilities. Stop that! Tonight: Catch up on a
friend’s weekend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You might want to rethink
a situation. Try to be more careful
when making choices. A boss could
be observing far more than you realize. Understand what is happening
within a special friendship, and know
that you might need to delay a chat.
Tonight: On top of your game.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Your ability to identify with
others will emerge, though you could
feel conflicted in some way. Stop and
consider why this is before you make
any decisions. Check in with someone in the know who can give you
some good advice. Tonight: In the
thick of things.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH You might want to take
another look at a recent decision
you’ve made. Your actions can,
and likely will, have an impact. You
might want to open up a discussion
if you not done so yet. You might be
surprised by what the other person
shares. Tonight: Say “yes” to an
enticing offer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Evaluate what is going
on within you. Your sense of humor
emerges, which allows greater giveand-take with a personal matter.
Defer to a partner or an associate
who often demands the lead. Right
now, there might be little choice.
Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Think in terms of personal
gain. Lighten up, and the flow of a
conversation or interaction will be
much smoother as a result. A loved
one might be aching to have an
important conversation with you;
make time for this person. Tonight:
Squeeze in some exercise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You might want to reach
out to a child or potential new friend.
This person will appreciate your overture. Realize what is happening with a
family member, as he or she might be
holding back or trying to hide something. Plan a visit in the near future.
Tonight: In the moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Deal with a domestic issue
directly. You could have a bad case
of the blues. Your sensitivity will come
forward in a conversation. You seem
to know what is happening before it
occurs. Follow your intuition about a
personal matter, and you will be OK.
Tonight: Head home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH You’ll need to ask a
lot of questions in order to determine how much of a risk something
is. You might need to let this one
go. Your serious demeanor could
throw someone off in a conversation. Acknowledge what is going on.
Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH To others you might seem
so vague, yet to you, you are as a
clear as a bell. What you can tolerate
as far as specifics is much different
than others. Verify a financial offer
and make sure it is to your liking.
Otherwise, let it go. Tonight: Run
errands on the way home.
