Dillon, 78 Richard Dotson, 79 Marsha K. Jeffrey, 57 Charles G. Pyatt, 62 Defense seeks change of venue in officer shooting Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The defense in a case against a man who is alleged to have shot a Gallipolis Police Officer last September and who was found last month fit to stand trial, recently filed a motion for a change of venue due to what the defense calls “extensive” pretrial publicity. In an entry filed on June 5 and filed by William Eachus, attorney for Cole C. Miller, 29, Gallipolis, the defense outlines its case for a change of venue to a courtroom other than the Gallia County Common Pleas Court — a request it says will ensure the defendant receives a fair trial before an “untainted” jury. The entry reads, “A change of venue is necessary in this case because of extensive and ongoing pretrial publicity makes it preemptively impossible to seat an impartial jury in this county. … Extensive media coverage coupled with this degree of public engagement exponentially expands the depth and breadth of the prospective jurors’ knowledge of what they perceive to be the facts of this case, and, un- doubtedly, the firmness with which many now hold opinions about Defendant’s purported involvement in the same. A presumption of prejudice is well-established by the volume and content of the media’s coverage of this case.” Miller was arrested during the early morning hours of September 24, 2012, after he allegedly fired upon police officers who had responded to his residence on McCormick Road in reference to a neighbor dispute. Prior to the arrival of officers that evening, Miller had confronted his neighbors and had reportedly shot a car parked outside of the residence. Gallipolis City Police Officers were requested to respond to the scene by the only Gallia County Sheriff ’s Deputy on call that night while he traveled back to McCormick Road from his position in the southern portion of the county. Upon the arrival of the city police officers, Miller allegedly refused to exit his residence, and, just as the sheriff ’s deputy arrived on scene, the suspect reportedly fired shots at the three officers located outside his home. Patrolman Jamie Bartels with the Gallipolis Police Department was wounded during the incident, receiving a gunshot wound to the arm, and was rushed to the Holzer Medical Center Emergency Room by a fellow city police officer who quickly arrived on scene after shots were fired. Miller, who exited the residence and surrendered to the officers remaining on scene, was taken into custody without incident. Bartels was later transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital where he remained for several weeks for See SHOOTING ‌| A2 More festival fun with Kickin’ Summer Bash Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com Photos by Charlene Hoeflich The concessionaires were in place and the cookers were fired up Friday for the weekend festival.

(AP) — The courts have spoken, and former Navy SEAL trainee Dustin Turner remains locked up for a 1995 slaying that another man has confessed to committing alone. Not content to let the Virginia Supreme Court have the final word, a Richmond filmmaker and former Navy special warfare operator is putting the final touches on a documentary contending Turner is innocent and portraying the state’s judicial system as either flawed or outright corrupt. “Dusty’s story has been exactly the same from the first time I interviewed him,” J.D. Leete said in an interview. “I have no doubt he’s telling the truth.” Leete makes the case for Turner in “Target of Opportunity: The US Navy SEALs and the Murder of Jennifer Evans.” The documentary will be shown for the first time at a Richmond theater Thursday night.

Finley Justice Louis Brandeis once called the right to privacy “the right most valued by civilized men.” Sadly, it has become increasingly clear that, despite pronunciations about “change” and “transparency,” the Obama administration is continuing down the path so dangerously started by former President George W. Bush. First, the Supreme Court decided that it is not a violation of the Fourth Amendment if police collect DNA from people who have merely been arrested, not convicted, of a crime. Although the Court specified that this practice, already occurring in more than half of the states, should only be done to those who are arrested for “serious” crimes, no definition of what constitutes a serious crime was provided. I wonder whether we should begin preparing ourselves simply to open our mouths whenever a police officer approaches. Whether you are rightly or wrongly arrested, your DNA from that cheek swab will go into the database and, as far as we know, remain there in perpetuity. While defenders maintain that the practice will help exonerate innocent persons, the risks are huge. Ultimately, the power goes to police, a scary kind of power in the hands of those who do not always use it fairly. In January, President Obama signed into law the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act, which creates grants to help states pay for the expanded DNA databases, and thus we can expect that more will indeed do so.

John Kasich’s school funding proposal and restores his small business tax plan passed a GOP-led Ohio Senate panel on Wednesday, as the massive bill edges closer to clearing both chambers of the Legislature. The Senate Finance Committee voted along party lines to clear the $61.7 billion, two-year spending plan. The full Senate planned to vote Thursday. A committee of lawmakers from both the House and Senate is expected to sort out differences between their versions of the budget before it reaches Kasich’s desk. The Senate panel made a host of changes, including adding a provision to ban public hospitals from having agreements with abortion clinics to transfer patients. Abortion rights advocates say the move will force many facilities to close, limiting access to abortions. “If safe, legal clinics can no longer provide abortion care in Ohio, where will women turn?” Kellie Copeland, executive director of the NARAL ProChoice Ohio, said in a statement. State health department regulations require all ambulatory surgical facilities in Ohio, including abortion providers, to have transfer agreements with hospitals that would take patients in case they experience medical complications. State Sen. Joe Ueker, a Loveland Republican, offered the amendment because he said it tightens Ohio’s prohibition on using public money to support abortions. He said the agreements left open the chance for public hospitals to complete the procedure, should something go wrong at an abortion clinic. “Someone has to stand up for the rights of the unborn,” he said. Senators also kept a House-added provision to send Planned Parenthood to the back of the line for public family-planning money. Supporters say other providers of women’s health care have sprung up around the state and the move would give those centers a chance at government funds. But critics, including Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Democrats, argue Planned Parenthood provides needed preventive health care to low-income women that would be jeopardized by the bill. Underlying the debate is Planned Parenthood’s role as a provider of abortions, a procedure backers of the bill oppose funding with public dollars. Republicans tabled an amendment from Democratic Sen. Charleta Tavares that would have removed the family-planning and transfer agreement changes. “We don’t need paternalistic, controlling government in our lives,” Tavares, of Columbus, told the committee. Other Democratic proposals that failed to get traction would have delivered $406 million over the two-year period to local governments and sent schools $34 million each year for safety and security enhancements. While the governor’s budget proposal called for an expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care law, the Legislature has largely kept the idea separate from the budget bill. State lawmakers continue to examine ways to change the federal-state program for the poor and disabled, which already provides health care for one of every five residents in the state. Senate Finance Chairman Scott Oelslager told reporters he expected the expansion debate to be kept out of budget negotiations between the House and Senate. The Senate plan sends an additional $141.6 million in direct state aid to schools, compared with the funding formula the House passed in its version of the budget. Senators also directed $100 million to the governor’s proposed Straight A fund, which will deliver grants to school districts for innovation and efficiency measures. Early childhood education also would get an additional $20 million over the budget period. Taxes will be among the top issues that negotiators in the House and Senate will have to sort out when they meet later this month to reconcile their budget differences. The Senate version of the spending plan scraps the House’s income tax cut proposal, while giving tax relief to small businesses.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Neil Armstrong’s name is attached to a lunar crater, an asteroid, more than a dozen schools and a museum, but not a single NASA facility is christened in honor of the man whose “giant leap” made him the first to walk on the moon. All that could soon change on the fringes of the Mojave Desert, where leaders at the space agency’s top flight research center are mulling the consequences of a proposed name change at the place where Armstrong was a test pilot. The push by some in Congress to strike the name of former NASA executive Hugh Dryden from the facility has brought with it some questions: Is it justified to substitute one accomplished figure for another? At a time of squeezed budgets, is it worth the cost? And, besides: How long before the next space hotshot upends the world’s first moonwalker? Managers at the Dryden Flight Research Center have no say in what they’re called — final approval rests with the U.S. House and Senate — and so they have left the soulsearching to others. “I’m happy with the name Dryden Flight Research Center, but I’ll be equally happy with Armstrong,” center Director David McBride said. “Both men were leaders in the field.” Though not a done deal, brainstorming is already underway: Welcome signs bearing the Dryden logo would have to be updated. Research aircraft would need their sides repainted. Letterhead and pamphlets would have to be recycled. And then there’s the obligatory dedication ceremony.

Former JobsOhio chief donated $25K to House GOP COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The California venture capitalist hired by Republican Gov. John Kasich for a dollar to help jump-start Ohio’s job-creation efforts donated generously to House Republicans on his way out the door. Mark Kvamme, Kasich’s friend and former economic development adviser, contributed $10,000 to Republican House Speaker Bill Batchelder’s 2012 campaign and $15,000 to the House GOP campaign fund on Nov. 1, state campaign finance records show. That was the day after Kvamme left the helm of the state’s private nonprofit job-creation entity, which has been the subject of legal and political disagreements since it was created in 2011. On Nov. 5, Kvamme gave $34,000 to the Ohio Republican Party’s state candidate fund. Under Batchelder, House Republicans spearheaded legislation creating JobsOhio and just last week fast-tracked a measure shielding JobsOhio’s private dollars from public audit. The bill specifically defined proceeds of JobsOhio’s $1.5 billion bond deal — which Kvamme helped craft — as private money. The amendment, signed into law by Kasich on Tuesday, drew criticism from Ohio Auditor Dave Yost, Kasich’s fellow Republican, as well as legislative Democrats. Batchelder’s spokesman said contributions play no role in what legislation is pursued, and that holds for the JobsOhio audit measure. Spokesman Mike Dittoe said the speaker and the caucus passed the amendment to clarify the Legislature’s initial intent that only the public side of JobsOhio’s books would be subject to public audit. An independent audit is conducted of the entity under another part of the law. “It had zero to do with any type of financial contribution from Mark Kvamme, none whatsoever,” Dittoe said. “I would go even further as to say that people provide financial contributions to the individual caucuses because they believe in what the caucuses are doing, not because they are seeking something to be done. We are not in the business of accepting contributions and then turning that into legislative priorities for those people.” Since leaving JobsOhio, Kvamme has co-founded a Columbus-based venture firm, Drive Capital LLC, with a fellow alum of Sequoia Capital. Reached Friday, he said he wasn’t immediately able to comment. State and federal filings show Kvamme also gave politically while working at JobsOhio. He listed himself as a special limited partner at Sequoia Capital when donating to state Rep. Mike Duffey in November 2011. Duffey, a Worthington Republican, sponsored the original legislation creating JobsOhio. Dittoe said Kvamme knows Duffey very well. “Mark Kvamme has gotten to know a lot of the legislators in his time here and believes in what they’re trying to accomplish, and is not making contributions for any sort of improper reason whatsoever,” Dittoe said. “And certainly the caucus isn’t accepting anything improper, either.” US employers add 175K jobs, rate up to 7.6 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May— a steady pace that shows strength in the face of tax increases and government spending cuts if not enough to reduce still-high unemployment. The unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent from 7.5 percent in April, the Labor Department said Friday. The rate rose because more people began looking for work, a healthy sign, but only about three-quarters found jobs. Analysts said the less-than-robust job growth would likely lead the Federal Reserve to maintain the pace of its monthly bond purchases for a few more months. The bond purchases have been intended to ease long-term borrowing costs and lift stock prices. Investors appeared pleased by the evidence that job growth remains steady. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 172 points in late-afternoon trading. Friday’s job figures provided further evidence of the U.S. economy’s resilience. The housing market is strengthening, auto sales are up and consumer confidence has reached a five-year peak. Stock prices are near record highs, and the budget deficit has shrunk. The U.S. economy’s relative strength contrasts with Europe, which is gripped by recession, and Asia, where once-explosive economies are now struggling. Many analysts expect the U.S. economy to strengthen later this year. “Today’s report has to be encouraging for growth in the second half of the year,” said Dan Greenhaus, an analyst at BTIG LLC. Employers have added an average of 155,000 jobs the past three months. But the May gain almost exactly matched the average increase of the previous 12 months: 172,000. Reflecting a trend in recent months, many of the jobs added in May were lower-paying ones. That means they aren’t likely to fuel as much consumer spending and economic growth as higher-paying jobs that have disappeared. Yet Americans appear to be more optimistic about their job prospects: 420,000 people started looking for work in May. As a result, the percentage of Americans 16 and older either working or looking for work rose to 63.4 percent from a 34-year low of 63.3 percent in April. This is called the labor force participation rate. Higher participation can boost the unemployment rate. That’s because once people without a job start looking for one, they’re counted as unemployed. Labor force participation has been falling since peaking at 67.3 percent in 2000. That’s partly the result of baby boomers retiring and dropping out of the work force. Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities, thinks an improving job market will encourage more Americans to look for jobs. He predicts that the participation rate will level off at around 63.5 percent. The unemployment rate is derived from a survey of households. This survey found that more people started looking for work in May. Since some didn’t find jobs right away, the number of unemployed rose 101,000 to 11.7 million. The job gain for the month is calculated from a separate survey of employers. Some signs in the report suggested that the government spending cuts, which began taking effect in March, and weak growth in much of the rest of the world are weighing on the U.S. job market. Weakness overseas has slowed demand for U.S. exports. Manufacturers cut 8,000 jobs. The federal government, which is carrying out deep spending cuts in domestic and defense programs, shed 14,000. Both were the third straight month of cuts for those industries. Over the past three months, the federal government has cut 45,000 jobs. The number of temporary jobs rose about 26,000. The economy has now added temporary jobs for eight straight months. That suggests that employers are responding to more demand but aren’t confident enough to hire permanent workers.

Perry Varnadoe, Meigs County’s Economic Development director, advises that the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation, along with USDA Rural Development, sponsors the “It Starts Here” revolving loan fund to assist current and aspiring entrepreneurs to start or expand their business. “This low interest loan,” said Varnadoe, “will help Meigs Carpet and Decorating increase their on-hand inventory in order to better compete with big box stores, while still providing the excellent service that defines our local business community.” Meigs Carpet and Decorating has been operating in Meigs County for 37 years. Varnadoe explained that the It Starts Here Fund makes loans to qualified entrepreneurs at competitive rates, and prefer- ably in cooperation with a local bank. The current interest rate is one percent. The goal is that one job be created or retained for each $10,000 borrowed. Loan proceeds, he said, can be used to purchase machinery and equipment, inventory, or for working capital. The funds can not be used, however, to purchase or renovate real estate. Applicants must have acceptable credit, a solid business plan, and adequate loan security, according to Varnadoe. There are additional reporting requirements for the life of the loan, he said. Anyone interested in more information on the “It Starts Here” loan program is asked to contact Brenda Roush at the Meigs County Economic Development Office at 992-3034, or brendar@meigscountyohio.com. It was noted that the funds are limited and the expectation is that applications will exceed available funds. An “It Starts Here” loan was recently made to the Snowville Creamery which is in the process of expanding its line of yogurt products to go along with other milk products.

Two Ohio casinos see gains after revenue drop CINCINNATI (AP) — Two of Ohio’s four casinos bounced back from significant revenue decreases in April and posted gains last month, while the other two continued to see drops in profits, according to a report released Friday by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Revenues at the state’s newest casino in downtown Cincinnati increased from about $17.8 million in April to just over $19.6 million in May. That’s a 10 percent increase, although still down about 6.6 percent from its opening month in March, when it raked in $21 million. Cleveland’s casino gained very slightly in May, with revenues of $20 million, compared with $19.9 million in April. That’s still down from $24.5 million in March. The casinos in Columbus and Toledo continued to see drops in their revenues. Columbus’ revenues fell to $16.7 million in May, a 7.4 percent drop from April and a 20 percent drop from March. In fact, May was the least profitable month at the Columbus casino since it opened in October. Toledo’s revenues fell to $15.8 million in May. That’s a nearly 4 percent drop from April’s posting of $16.4 million and a more than 11 percent drop from its March revenues of $17.8 million. But Toledo has seen worse. The casino was drawing under $15 million each month be- tween October and February, with an all-time low of $13.6 million in November. The four casinos opened within 10 months of each other starting a year ago in Cleveland and Toledo and ending in March with Cincinnati’s. Voters approved the casinos in 2009 after proponents sold it as a way to boost Ohio’s economy and add jobs. Ohio collects 33 percent in taxes from the casinos and distributes them to the state’s 88 counties, its school districts and host cities, among others. In the past year, casinos have drawn almost $688 million in revenues. That amounts to about $227 million in taxes. ATTENTION: DENTURE SUFFERERS!

Gentile offers budget amendments COLUMBUS — State Senator Lou Gentile (DSteubenville) reacted to the passage of the two year budget plan for the State of Ohio on Friday. Dozens of amendments were put forth for deliberation on the Senate floor that would have made improvements to Ohio’s public education system, public safety, community investment, workforce training programs, and the health and wellness of all Ohioans. House Bill 59 passed the Senate by a vote of 23-10. “There were several opportunities today to give back to the people of Ohio for the sacrifices they’ve made in recent years,” Gentile stated. “Local leaders continue to struggle to keep police and firefighters on the streets, and teachers in the classroom. The Ohio Senate failed to invest in Ohio’s communities and children.” Among the amendments offered during today’s budget debate, Senator Gentile proposed the following changes: • To increase funding for local communities by a total of $406 million dollars for police, fire, and safety services, job growth and providing critical services to Ohioans. • To prohibit the Department of Corrections and Youth Services from privatizing food services in order to protect worker safety and prevent job loss. • To increase the Coal and Mine Safety Fund by $2 million dollars to ensure that that the safety of our miners is not jeopardized. “Strengthening Ohio’s communities and schools should be our top priority,” Gentile said. “Local communities play a critical role in helping spur economic growth and development. I will continue my efforts to improve our communities and strengthen our schools.” Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A7 Authorities: Texas actress arrested in ricin case DALLAS (AP) — A pregnant Texas actress who told FBI agents her husband had sent ricin-tainted letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been arrested for orchestrating the scheme herself, a law enforcement official said Friday. It was not immediately clear what charges would be filed against Shannon Guess Richardson of New Boston, Texas, a mother of five who has played bit roles in television shows. She was arrested around noon Friday, said Davilyn Walston, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in the eastern district of Texas. Walston declined further comment, saying she wasn’t in position to provide details. The FBI in Dallas declined immediate comment. FBI agents wearing hazardous material suits were seen going in and out of her house Wednesday in New Boston, about 150 miles northeast of Dallas near the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders. Officials have said the search was initiated after Richardson contacted the FBI and implicated her husband, Nathaniel Richardson. An attorney for Shannon Richardson, 36, couldn’t immediately be found.

(AP) — The crash of a medical helicopter that killed three crewmembers in southeastern Kentucky on Thursday was the fourth deadly accident in the past decade for Air Evac Lifeteam, a Missouri-based company that operates from 114 locations in 15 states. The helicopter that crashed Thursday night crash in Clay County had been completely refurbished just over a year ago making it “more powerful and capable of carrying higher gross weight,” company spokeswoman Julie Heavrin said. “We are devastated at this loss,” company president Seth Myers said in a statement. “These were members of our family. Our focus at this time is on providing support for the family and friends of these crewmembers.” There was no patient on board. WHAS radio reported that the helicopter, a Bell 206 LongRanger, came down in the parking lot of Paces Creek Elementary School outside Manchester, which is about 90 miles southeast of Lexington. Witnesses described a light fog, though forecasters said there was no severe weather in the area. The last fatal Air Evac Lifeteam crash was in Arkansas in 2010. All three crew members were killed when that helicopter, a Bell 206 built in 1978, went down in Van Buren County. Heavrin said Air Evac Lifeteam has had two other fatal crashes in recent years. One in Indiana in 2008 killed all three crew members, as did the other in Alabama in 2007. There have been 32 crashes in the U.S. involving Bell 206 helicopters since June 2011, with a total of 12 fatalities occurring in seven of the crashes, according to data from the National Transportation Safety Board. The most recent crash recorded was May 10 in Hartford, Ky. The pilot was not injured after the craft struck a power line. The company identified the crewmembers as pilot Eddie Sizemore, flight paramedic Herman “Lee” Dobbs and flight nurse Jesse Jones. They were on their way back to base in Manchester after transporting a patient to a hospital in London, Ky. Laurel County Sheriff’s spokesman Gilbert Acciardo told the Lexington Herald-Leader that Sizemore had retired as a deputy from the sheriff’s office, but returned in 2011 before leaving the position to become a pilot for Air Evac Lifeteam. “He enjoyed flying,” Acciardo said. “That was his passion.” Air Evac Lifeteam President and CEO Seth Myers said the company is devastated by the loss of the crew. Federal air safety officials planned to investigate the accident. The Missouri-based company has been providing medical transportation for 26 years. Its flight crews typically consist of a pilot, registered nurse and paramedic. Besides its fleet of helicopters, Air Evac Lifeteam also uses planes, including one based at the nearby Williamsburg-Whitley County Airport in southeastern Kentucky. Judy Owens, former head of the University of Kentucky Center for Rural Heath in Hazard, said the mountainous terrain of central Appalachia makes helicopter transport a must if patients are to arrive at major hospitals within the so-called “golden hour” that can determine whether they live or die. Owens said the flight crews are considered heroes in central Appalachia.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Ramirez, the demonic serial killer who left satantic signs at murder scenes and mutilated victims’ bodies during a reign of terror in the 1980s, died early Friday in a hospital, a prison official said. Ramirez, 53, had been taken from San Quentin’s death row to a hospital where authorities said he died of liver failure. He had been housed on death row for decades and was awaiting execution, even though it has been years since anyone has been put to death in California. At his first court appearance, Ramirez raised a hand with a pentagram drawn on it and yelled, “Hail, Satan.” His marathon trial, which ended in 1989, was a horror show in which jurors heard about one victim’s eyes being gouged out and another’s head being nearly severed. Courtroom observers wept when survivors of some of the attacks testified. Ramirez was convicted of 13 murders that terrorized Southern California in 1984 and 1985 as well as charges of rape, sodomy, oral copulation, burglary and attempted murder. Satanic symbols were left at murder scenes and some victims were forced to “swear to Satan” by the killer, who entered homes through unlocked windows and doors. Ramirez was finally run down and beaten in 1985 by residents of an East Los Angeles neighborhood while attempting a carjacking. They recognized him because his picture had appeared that day in the news media. The trial of Ramirez took a year, but the entire case which was bogged down in pretrial motions and appeals lasted four years, one of the longest criminal cases in U.S. history. Because of the notoriety of the case, more than 1600 prospective jurors were called. After his conviction, Ramirez flashed a two-fingered “devil sign” to photographers and muttered a single word: “Evil.” On his way to a jail bus, he sneered in reaction to the verdict, muttering: “Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland.” The black-clad killer, unrepentant to the end, made his comment in an underground garage after a jury recommended the death penalty for his gruesome crimes. Inexplicably, Ramirez, a native of El Paso, Texas, had a following of young women admirers who came to the courtroom regularly and sent him love notes. Some visited him in prison, and in 1996 Ramirez was married to 41-year-old freelance magazine editor Doreen Lioy in a visiting room at San Quentin prison. Relatives called Lioy a recluse who lived in a fantasy world. In 2006, the California Supreme Court upheld Ramirez’s convictions and death sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court refused in 2007 to review the convictions and sentence. Two years later, San Francisco police said DNA linked Ramirez to the April 10, 1984, killing of 9-yearold Mei Leung. She was killed in the basement of a residential hotel in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood where she lived with her family. Ramirez had been staying at nearby hotels. Ramirez previously was tied to killings in Northern California. He was charged in the shooting deaths of Peter Pan, 66, and his wife, Barbara, in 1985 just before his arrest in Los Angeles, but he was never tried in that case. �Sunday Times-Sentinel INSIDE Sports SUNDAY, JUNE 9, 2013 mdsports@civitasmedia.com Tess Phelps inks letter of intent ...

Lady Eagles come up empty on Day 1 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Day 1 at Jesse Owens Stadium didn’t fare too well for Eastern on Friday, as the Lady Eagles went scoreless in three event finals and failed to advance to a fourth final during the 2013 Division III OHSAA Track and Field Championships on the campus of the Ohio State University.

Black bears becoming more frequent visitors to Ohio Jim Freeman In The Open Once totally extirpated from the state, June and July are peak months for black bear movement in Ohio, especially as young males move out in search of their own territory, according to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. As if to illustrate this point, in May a young male black bear was struck and killed by a vehicle on U.S. 33 in Meigs County, and just this Monday a black bear was found dead underneath a tree in a yard near Youngstown (foul play is not suspected). While bears and bear sightings may be relatively rare here in the Buckeye State, in coming years they may become more commonplace. In 2012 there were 224 reports involving an estimated 93 individual bears, which represents an increase in the total number of sightings in comparison with 2011 when 152 sightings involving an estimated 89 individual black bears were received. (The number of individual bears is a subjective judgment.) When critters start to make a comeback, one sure sign is that some of them are going to be killed See BRIEFS ‌| B3 on the roads. While it is unfortunate it provides positive proof of the species’ presence and offers researchers valuable information in the form of DNA and other records including measurements and teeth. In the case of the bear killed in Meigs County, according to the ODOW the motorist reported having hit the bear around midnight on May 14 somewhere between five and 10 miles after entering Ohio from West Virginia on US 33. The motorist loaded the 92-pound bear into his truck and drove to Columbus before contacting wildlife officials in the morning who secured the bear and collected the necessary measurements, tooth and DNA sample. In 2012 there were two sightings reported in Gallia County, and in Meigs County that same year there were two sightings with one of those being confirmed – confirmed means there was some evidence of the bear’s passage (i.e. scat, tracks, a photograph, etc.) in addition to the observer’s account. However, even unconfirmed reports are counted and added to the “big picture.” Black bear sightings were received during every month in 2012 and 80 percent of those were reported from May through September, and half during June and July coinciding with peak black bear breeding activity and dispersal of juvenile males. Statewide there were three sightings of a sow with cubs, and two additional sightings of lone cubs; none of these were confirmed. A sow with two cubs was reported from Adams, Ashland, and Ross counties and sightings of two lone cubs were reported from Ashtabula and Lawrence counties. According to Jim Hill, wildlife management supervisor for Ohio Wildlife District Four, the bear hit in Meigs County was a year-old or twoyear-old male bear. “This is a typical scenario,” Hill said. “We are getting into ‘bear season,’ and June and July are the busy months. I guess that bear was a couple of weeks ahead.” Hill emphasized the need for residents to not attract the bears – things like bird feeders, grease traps on barbecue grills, household trash and pet food can prove irresistible to young bears on the move. “Songbirds don’t need feeding at this time of year,” he said. “Trash should be kept secured, and pet food taken in before dark.” It was likely that the bear crossed into Ohio from West VirSee BEARS ‌| B3 �Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Page B2 • Sunday Times Sentinel Sunday, June 9, 2013 Tess Phelps inks letter of intent Submitted photos Pictured above are the 2013 spring sports South Gallia academic award winners.

Longtime Miami (Ohio) basketball coach Coles dies CINCINNATI (AP) — Longtime Miami (Ohio) basketball coach Charlie Coles, the school’s all-time leader in victories, died Friday in Oxford, Ohio, the school said. He was 71. No cause of death was reported immediately, but Coles had a long history of heart issues. Known for his colorful wit and a coaching competitiveness as the midmajor RedHawks often scheduled national powers for their nonconference games, the two-time Mid-American Conference coach of the year had 263 victories at Miami. He also was the MidAmerican Conference’s all-time leader in conference wins with 218. He had a career record of 355-308 over 22 seasons at Miami and Central Michigan. “The basketball world lost one of its great ambassadors in Charlie Coles today,” University of Kentucky coach John Calipari said in message via his Twitter social media account. “As a player, coach, mentor and teacher, no one was better than Charlie. He was a true, compassionate competitor who will be missed.” Coach Mick Cronin of Miami’s nearby rival, the University of Cincinnati, expressed condolences to Coles’ widow and family in a statement. “He was a great coach and even better person,” Cronin said. “Coach had the ability to make everyone smile and always wanted to help those around him … his passing is a tremendous loss for the coaching community.” We protect what you love MERCERVILLE, Ohio — South Gallia honored its spring sports athletes on May 28th in the school cafeteria.

Most bear sightings in Ohio are from the northeastern part of the state where bears wander in from Pennsylvania. Hill said that people observing a bear in Ohio should enjoy the sight and give it plenty of room, and call the Division of Wildlife at 1-800-WILDLIFE. The division is currently tracking bear movement in the state. No matter what, he stressed, don’t feed the bear; bears that become dependent on handouts lose their fear of humans and eventually have to be relocated or destroyed. “A fed bear is a dead bear.” Jim Freeman is wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District and a long-time contributor to the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Stern’s 30-year reign as NBA Commissioner will end Feb. 1, making this Miami-San Antonio series the final championship matchup of his tenure overseeing a league that has grown into a wildly successful international corporate giant under his watch. Still, there’s plenty of items remaining on Stern’s to-do list, which is one of the reasons why he hasn’t turned his final months into a victory lap of sorts. “I’ll savor it when it’s over,” Stern said Thursday in his annual pre-Finals news conference. “I’ll look back on it. I do know every day that I have the best job in the world … and I will remain committed to the continued success of the NBA. That’s the thing I think about more than I think about looking backwards. I’m actually looking forward to helping the NBA in any way possible as it rises to continued new heights.” His last Finals might help the league reach those heights. The Miami-San Antonio series features four former NBA Finals MVPs in Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. It will almost certainly have a tremendous international following, because James is a global marketing icon, Wade wears shoes from a Chinese company and more than half of the Spurs’ players were born outside the United States. “I would say this is probably the most anticipated Finals in, who knows, 30 years,” Stern said. “We’ve had a great run up to it.” Under Stern’s watch, the league has become a $5 billion annual indus- try, with the NBA Finals broadcast in 215 countries — instead of being shown on tape-delay, as was the case in the early 1980s. The NBA had 23 teams when Stern began; it now has 30. The Heat weren’t even an idea when Stern began his tenure, and they’re now a global brand themselves, having made the title round four times in the last eight seasons. “He saved the league,” Heat forward Shane Battier said. “People forget how drug-riddled and really on how much thin ice the league was on in the 1980s. Obviously, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and Larry Bird were the talents sort of behind that movement, but without David’s marketing genius the league wouldn’t be in its present form. He turned a small, professional, struggling league into a global giant. And it’s not just about basketball anymore.” Stern announced last year that he would retire and be replaced his longtime deputy, Adam Silver, who has worked with him in five different capacities over the last 22 years. Silver, in Stern’s eyes, is more than ready for the job, and the current commissioner said providing for a plan of succession was vital. “At some time an organization can use an infusion of different ideas,” Stern said. “And at the same time, along the 30 years, there are a group of colleagues that now work at the NBA who have been doing it for a while, but they’re very, very young at heart and push us and push each other. And I think it’s their turn to shine as well a little bit more. So it’s time to step down and step aside, while at the same time being willing to assist in any way I can, particularly internationally.” The global game has been of importance to Stern for years. He has often spoken of the idea of having European teams in the NBA, which many people in the league believe will eventually happen. NBA players have starred in the Olympics since 1992, the league has had over 100 games contested in international cities, and Stern will keep trying to expand the league’s reach abroad after he retires. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has already seen Stern’s fingerprint on the game around the world. “I’ve seen that when we go to the Philippines every summer,” said Spoelstra, who is of Filipino descent. “You go into any sports store now anywhere in the world, you see NBA paraphernalia. And just the interest worldwide, how our game has grown globally, not only international players but the interest outside. Even though I was just a kid, I remember what the NBA was like before. And it was a far cry from right now. He deserves a large part of the credit.” Stern touched on a number of other issues, including: —The league is looking into changing how it handles replay reviews in-game, including possibly having them handled off-site in a broadcast center. “We’ve got to find a way to make it a little smoother,” Stern said. —Flopping, which was a key point of emphasis for the league this year, will be discussed again at the league’s competition committee meeting in San Antonio next week. “There’s always a challenge of getting it right,” Stern said. —He called coaching changes, which have been plentiful since the regular season ended and even including the league’s reigning coach of the year in Denver’s George Karl, “a natural consequence” of a team having expectations to win immediately.

Sunday, June 9, 2013 60423672 �Sunday, June 9, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B7 At 37, Duncan appreciating success more than ever MIAMI (AP) — For all the playoff slugfests he has endured over the years, for all the elbows to the ribs he’s taken in the post, for all the postseason runs between this NBA Finals and his last one, precious little has changed for Tim Duncan. His expressive face looks remarkably similar in 2013 to the one that helped the San Antonio Spurs to their first championship in 1999. His game is still built on fundamentals and smarts more than athleticism and speed. And he still plays for the same coach, in the same system and with the same two stars by his side that brought three titles to the River Walk in five years. You see Duncan in Game 1 against Miami on Thursday night, controlling the paint, finding the open man and cleaning up the boards like he’s always done. And then you realize he’s 37 years old, and his last trip to the NBA Finals was six years ago. That may not seem so far back to most players. To Duncan, it felt like an eternity. And now that he’s finally here, with a chance for title No. 5, he’s playing with the urgency of a man that doesn’t know how many more chances he’s going to get. “It felt like a long time,” Duncan said on Friday, one day after posting 20 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and three assists in San Antonio’s 92-88 win over Miami in Game 1. “I definitely appreciate being back out here, to see the finals banners all around and to see the patch on the jersey and all those little things, the last couple of days it’s really been sinking in. “I think I really do appreciate it more now, having been gone so long.” That Duncan, the most understated of stars, is focusing on Miscellaneous Firewood FREE: Lots and Lots of free firewood.

Call 304-674-6101 those little details that he never did before should come as no surprise. He’s never been one for the pyrotechnic pre-game introductions; never craved the spotlight that comes with playing for the championship. What he has stood for more than anything over the years is dependability. Everyone knows what he brings to the table, and the fact that he keeps bringing it year-in and year-out has earned him an unparalleled level of respect and admiration within the league — if not among the casual fan who craves soaring dunks and wicked crossovers. “The way he’s played his whole career, he’s continued to play that way,” Heat guard Ray Allen said. “In this world we live in, consistency is all we ask. You get paid a lot of money and you get respect by doing it.” Some fans want more. They want highlights and sound bites, big plays and bigger personalities. That’s never been Duncan’s style, and never been the Spurs’ way, which is why arguably the greatest power forward in league history so often gets overshadowed in his own time by the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Now in his 16th season in the league and producing like he’s fresh out of college, Duncan is reluctantly being thrust into the spotlight once more in these finals. He averaged 17.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in the regular season, becoming the second oldest player to earn All-NBA first team honors. And he’s built off that with a stirring postseason run. “Timmy is being recognized as one of the great, enduring Hall of Fame, top 10 players of all-time,” Commissioner David Stern said. “They’re getting what they deserve.” Duncan has long since handed over the reins to the Spurs offense to point guard Tony Parker, but his influence and impact hasn’t waned in the least. “This will always be Timmy’s franchise,” Parker said. “Always. Should do a statue for him outside the AT&T Center.” What would that statue look like? “Looking mean,” Parker said. “Something like that.” He shrugged off an 0-for-5 start to Game 1 by making eight of his last 14 shots in the game, giving Chris Bosh fits on the low block and forcing him out to the perimeter, where the All-Star forward was rendered almost obsolete. “Timmy is unbelievable,” said Parker, who couldn’t resist a chance to take a jab at his buddy. “At his age, 50, doing what he’s doing is crazy. It’s crazy. I don’t know how he does it, seriously. It’s unbelievable.” SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY Upholstery SNODGRASS UPHOLSTERY, we help you to recover you investments.

Described as an “intergenerational experience,” the program is about senior citizens and other volunteers teaching children the survival skills of many of their great-grandparents before the time of all the conveniences enjoyed today in the way of lighting, heating, running water and refrigeration. Those were the days when handmade quilts were used on the beds at night for warmth, when candles provided light for the home, when a well provided water carried to the kitchen in buckets, when much of the food the family ate was produced and preserved in cellars, and when bread and baked goods were made from scratch and baked in an oven on a coal stove. Up until a couple of years ago Yesteryear was offered through the Meigs County Council on Aging’s Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). But then government funding for the program was discontinued. The Chester Shade Historical Society which had donated to Yesteryear over the years felt the program was too beneficial to the children to be dropped, so members stepped in to conduct the program last year. Then this year the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (COAD) took over the RSVP programming for the county which includes not only Yesteryear but also the Seniors in School programs where Meigs County history is taught to third graders, as well as other senior service activities in the community. Katie Alexander was hired by COAD as Meigs County’s director for Center’s volunteer activities. Her first big project was handling the Yesteryear program for the over 200 fifth graders in the county. The handson activities of Yesteryear carried out this year included learning how to quilt, creating baskets from rag covered rope, making candles by dipping wicks into hot wax, making bread and noodles from scratch, and learning how to tin punch. The goal is not only to teach children about making things as their grandparents and great-grandparents did, but also to help them come to a greater appreciation of today’s conveniences while at the same time learning skills to be enjoyed in their leisure time. A stroll down memory lane using 16 drawings on clothe used to tell a story of the lives lived by generations past was also available as a teaching tool for the children. New this year to the program was a reading area where a variety of books were made available for the students. to read when finishing one project and waiting for the next to begin. Volunteering their time this year were RSVP volunteers, Alice Wamsley, Barbara Gheen, Betty Longenette, Dean Barnitz, Dolores Will, Doris Grueser ,Dorothy Anthony, Francis Hunnel, Jackie Frost, Jim Snyder, Marie Snyder, Penny Brinker, Rosalie Johnson, Rosalie Story, Rosanna Manley Jonathon Wilson practices quilting. and Shirley Coger, along with community volunteers Becky Coger, Deb McDaniel, Judy Harrison, Lori Miller, Luke Lawrence, Patty Nutter, Stephanie Alexander and Susan Eason. When the Yesteryear program was developed 28 years ago, it was a traveling exhibit and demonstration program which moved from school to school. But soon the hassle of hauling the display items, materials and supplies needed for creative projects, and then having to “make do” with whatever facilities were available became too much for the volunteers. It was decided after a couple of years of moving from place to place, that a permanent home was needed for the Yesteryear program. The Meigs Museum seemed just the right place, had the space, and the historical surroundings and atmosphere. So after conferring with Museum trustees about use of the facility and school superintendents about busing the children there, it became the first permanent home for the program. In 1987 the program moved to the museum where programs on pioneer skills and lessons in history were conducted two days a week for half-day sessions over a six week period. That first year fifth graders from Eastern, Meigs and Southern school districts, the Mid-Valley Christian School in Middleport and home schoolers participated. Yesteryear was held at the museum until 2002 when the number of participants expanded and more space was needed so that year it was moved to the Bradford Church of Christ’s spa- Photos by Charlene Hoeflich Drawings on cloth depict the life of Meigs County’s generations past.

Thousands of Meigs County’s fifth graders have had the opportunity of participating in Yesteryear and many volunteers have contributed hun- dreds of hours bringing alive for them the lifestyle skills of their ancestors. Through Yesteryear’s programming thousands of Meigs County children have had the opportunity to explore the pioneer lifestyle of their ancestors through hands-on experiences, and to come to a greater appreciation of the conveniences enjoyed today.

UK’s Prince Philip enters hospital for operation LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II’s husband has been admitted to a London hospital for an exploratory operation, Buckingham Palace said Thursday. The palace said the operation on 91-yearold Prince Philip — which will take place on Friday — was pre-planned and comes after “abdominal investigations” that were carried out over the past week. “He is in good spirits,” said a spokeswoman for the palace. She declined to elaborate on Philip’s condition or when the decision was made to oper- ate, saying only that the queen’s husband is expected to be in the London Clinic for up to two weeks. The London Clinic — a private hospital and longtime favorite for celebrities and royals in need of treatment — declined to comment. Philip was driven by car to the hospital shortly after attending a Buckingham Palace garden party hosted by his wife. Footage from the party showed the queen’s husband smiling and chatting with guests as he walked around the garden.

Look for fuzzy grey growth on the underside of leaves, black lesions on stems and petioles, and coppery-colored lesions on fruit. Growers with tomatoes and potatoes in the field should also scout plants as soon as possible. Fungicides such as chlorothalanil (Bravo, Echo, Equus), EBDCs (Dithane, Penncozeb, Manzate) and copper-based products (Kocide, Champ, etc.) should be used on a protectant basis on a 7-10 day schedule under conditions not favorable for late blight and a 5-7 day schedule under favorable conditions if late blight has not been detected in the area. These fungicides also have activity against early blight. Some strains of the late blight pathogen are sensitive to mefanoxam (Ridomil). Some fungicides with activity against late blight that may be used in greenhouses or high tunnels are Manzate, Kocide, Champ, Cuprofix, and Previcur Flex.

If late blight is suspected, it can be confirmed by bringing or sending a sample to the OSU Vegetable Pathology Lab in Wooster (http:// oardc.osu.edu/sallymiller/ Extension%20Outreach/ index.htm).

Boston hospital cleaning 2,500-year-old mummy BOSTON (AP) — A 2,500-year-old Egyptian mummy came out of his coffin Friday to undergo cleaning and restoration at Massachusetts General Hospital. The mummy known as Padihershef has been on display at the third oldest general hospital in the United States since it received him as a gift from the city of Boston in 1823 as a medical oddity. He is one of the first complete mummies brought to the United States. A conservator trained in restoring ancient artifacts removed him from his coffin Friday and began using cotton swabs dabbed in saliva to wipe away salt deposits from his face. The salt has been slowly seeping out of his tissue, a result of the mummification process. Experts are also expected to do minor repair and stabilization work on his coffin. The whole process is expected to take three days. The mummy and his coffin will then be moved to a special horizontal case in which they will lie next to each other in the Ether Dome, a surgical amphitheater where William T. G. Morton demonstrated the first public surgery using anesthetic on Oct. 16, 1846.

Cheerios stands by TV ad showing mixed-race family NEW YORK (AP) — A mom sits at her kitchen table when her grade schooler saunters up with a big box of Cheerios. “Mom,” says the girl. “Dad told me Cheerios is good for your heart. Is that true?” Cut to dad waking from a nap on the living room couch with a pile of Cheerios on his chest (where his heart Your ears are ringing. Your nose is stuffy. Your throat is sore.

The message is in line with the company’s Heart Healthy campaign, except this 30-second ad features a black dad, white mom and biracial child and produced enough vitriol on YouTube last week that Cheerios requested the comments section be turned off. This week, the com- pany is standing by the fictitious family, which reflects a black-white racial mix uncommon in commercials today, especially in ads on TV, at a time when interracial and interethnic couples are on the rise in real life, according to 2010 U.S. Census data, brand strategists and marketing consultants. “The reality is that in general most big compa- Anil Gokhale, MD Board-certified otolaryngologist offering: • • • • Pediatric and adult care Saturday morning hours In-office sinus surgery Allergy testing and injections To schedule an appointment (740) 566-4660 Located at Castrop Center 75 Hospital Drive Athens, Ohio 45701 To learn more obleness.org Athens Medical Associates Ear, Nose and Throat Athens Medical Associates 60423197 nies don’t want to take a lot of risks,” said Laura Ries, who has written five books on marketing and brand strategy and consults for companies large, small and in between. “The ability for nameless, faceless people to get on the Internet is out there, and companies don’t like it when people yell at them,” she said. Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing for Cheerios, said it’s the first time the ad campaign that focuses on family moments has featured an interracial couple, with General Mills Inc. casting the actors to reflect the changing U.S. population. “We felt like we were reflecting an American family,” Gibson said. As a large company, Minneapolis-based General Mills is used to getting some degree of negative feedback and wasn’t surprised by the comments on YouTube, she said, but it was the first time the company requested the site turn the comments section off because of the vitriol. Another site, Reddit, filtered out negative comments on a thread started with a comment in support of the ad. The site left Cheerios defenders’ remarks online. The national ad will continue running as scheduled for several more months and Cheerios isn’t planning any changes, Gibson said. She declined to say whether the campaign would feature interracial ads going forward. Overall, Gibson said, the feedback has been overwhelmingly supportive: “Consumers are actually responding very positively to the ad.” With millions of ad dollars at stake, how seriously do big companies like Cheerios take racist backlashes? Very, said Allen Adamson, managing director of the branding firm Landor Associates, but caving to critics is just as dangerous to a company as large as Cheerios. “Advertisers for many years always took the safe route, which was to try to ruffle no feathers and in doing so became less and less authentic and real,” he said. “To succeed today, big brands like Cheerios need to be in touch with what’s authentic and true about American families.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
