Announcement of the change in the school lunch program where only those who qualify financially for free or reduced price lunches to a place of where everyone is given free lunches, regardless of family income, was made at a meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education Tuesday night. According to Chrissy Musser, food service director, funding for the free lunch program is coming through the Community Eligibility Option (CEO). She said the program was recently enacted through the Ohio Department of Education to provide more meals to all children in low income communities. “Certain criteria has See LUNCHES | 5 Submitted photo Meigs County K-9 Deputy Zach is pictured with Sheriff Keith Wood, left, and Deputy Brandy King on July 17.

SCIP/LTIP grant application deadline nearing Staff Report ‘Old squad’ turned mobile meth lab Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A new vehicle to haul equipment and clothing used when going out on a drug bust has been provided to Middleport by the Meigs County Commissioners. Commissioners Randy Smith and Tim Ihle, who met recently with the Middleport officers, described the vehicle as an “old squad” (1992) no longer suitable for use in emergency situations. Since receiving the vehicle, it has been cleaned, painted and equipped with supplies used in dismantling meth operations and the gear they wear to protect themselves from contamination. Officers Shannon Smith and Rick Smith are both trained in meth dismantling, neutralizing the hazardous material and disposing of it, along with the cleanup work that follows. Having everything they need to do that in one place is a big advantage, the officers said. Shannon and Rick Smith who have had extensive training in drug work, are the only two officers in the county qualified to neutralize hazardous material. As for the area they serve, the officers said they go “anywhere we’re needed” — Meigs, Gallia, Jackson and Athens — and said this has resulted in trading services among the area agencies which contributes to better and The protective suits worn by officers to dismantle and dispose of meth are air tight to prevent contamination. To make it easier for the officers to stand the heat inside Janet Cleland and John Ambrose donated back packs which hold containers of water with an attached hose for the officers to drink from. Here officers Shannon Smith assists Rick Smith in showing how back packs are worn. safer communities. There has been a huge increase in the number of meth operations in the area recently, according to the officers. They attribute that to demand for meth which is relatively inexpensive to make and/or buy, and which is extremely addictive. Meth producers who are caught are charged with a second degree felony and taken into custody at the time of the drug bust, according to the officers. Commissioner Smith and Ihle both spoke in appreciation of the Middleport officers and their will- ingness to work on the major drug problem in the county. They commended the Middleport drug unit for being community-minded and commended them for providing aide to other communities which works as a benefit to everyone. The refurbished truck has compartments for the officers’ special meth protective suits which were donated about a year ago to the Middleport Police Department, the supplies and equipment they use in dismantling and disposing of meth, and adequate seating for use as needed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Wednesday that the Pentagon may have to mothball up to three Navy aircraft carriers and order additional sharp reductions in the size of the Army and Marine Corps if Congress doesn’t act to avoid massive budget cuts beginning in 2014. Speaking to Pentagon reporters, and indirectly to Congress, Hagel said that the full result of the sweeping budget cuts over the next 10 years could leave the nation with an ill-prepared, under-equipped military doomed to face more technologically advanced enemies. In his starkest terms to date, Hagel laid out a worst-case scenario for the U.S. military if the Pentagon is forced to slash more than $50 billion from the 2014 budget and $500 billion over the next 10 years as a result of Congressionally-mandated automatic spending cuts. The Pentagon has been ratcheting up a persistent drumbeat about the dire effects of the budget cuts on national defense, and as Congress continues to wrangle over spending bills on Capitol Hill. Going from 11 to eight or nine carrier strike groups would bring the Navy to its lowest number since World War II. And the troop cuts would shear the Army back to levels not seen since at least 1950, eroding the military’s ability to keep forces deployed and combat ready overseas. Detailing options, Hagel said America may have to choose between having a highly capable but significantly smaller military and having a larger force while reducing special operations forces, limiting research and cutting or curtailing plans to upgrade weapons systems. Traffic Advisory MEIGS COUNTY — Meigs County Road 10 (Carpenter Hill Road) will be closed for approximately one month beginning July 29. County forces will be replacing a culvert with a new bridge on County Road 10 at a site approximately 2,000 feet north of County Road 17 (Cotterill Road). MEIGS COUNTY — Ohio 325 will be closed right before the junction of Metheny Fairplay Road due to a culvert replacement project. The road will be closed beginning Thursday, July 11 through August 16. ODOT’s official detour is Ohio 124 to Ohio 160 back to Ohio 325. MEIGS COUNTY — Ohio 143 (located just 0.25 miles south of State Farm Road) will be reduced to one lane to allow for a bridge replacement project. During construction there will be a 10’ width restriction. Traffic will be maintained with a portable traffic light. Weather permitting, both lanes of Ohio 143 will be open September 1, 2013. MEIGS COUNTY — The westbound lane of Ohio 124 (located at the 63.91 mile marker, about 1.5 miles north of Reedsville) will be closed to allow for a bridge replacement project. Traffic will be maintained by traffic signals and concrete barriers. Weather permitting, both lanes of Ohio 124 will be open November, 1 2013.

Weather permitting, both lanes of Ohio 124 will reopen August 31, 2013. a Praise Band concert will That second option, he said, would likely result in the U.S. military using older, less effective equipment against more technologically advanced adversaries. And it would have a greater impact on private defense companies around the country. The U.S., said Hagel, risks fielding a military force that in the next few years would be unprepared due to a lack of training, maintenance and upgraded equipment. And, even if the Pentagon chooses the most dramatic cuts, Hagel said it would still “fall well short” of meeting the reductions required by the automatic budget cuts, particularly during the first five years. While noting that no final decisions have been made, Hagel laid out a few specific ideas under consideration. He said that to achieve the savings by shrinking the force, the Pentagon might have to cut more than 100,000 additional soldiers from the Army — which is already planning to go from a wartime high of about 570,000 to 490,000 by 2017. And the current plan to reduce the size of the Marine Corp to 182,000 from a high of about 205,000 could also be changed — cutting it to as few as 150,000 Marines. He added that the Air Force could lose as many as five combat air squadrons as well as a number of other bomber and cargo aircraft. “This strategic choice would result in a force that would be technologically dominant, but would be much smaller and able to go fewer places and do fewer things, especially if crises occurred at the same time in different regions of the world,” said Hagel. Another option, he said, would be to make fewer cuts in the size of the force, and instead cancel or curtail many modernization programs. In addition he said that the Pentagon is taking a close look at cuts to health care benefits, military housing allowances, cost-of-living adjustments and civilian pay raises. Hagel repeated his plans — announced two weeks ago — to cut top Pentagon and military staff and spending by 20 percent. The savings, which will apply to his office, that of the Joint Chief’s chairman and also the Pentagon headquarters offices of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps., could total between $1.5 billion and $2 billion over the next five years and will target personnel, including civilians and contractors. The details Hagel described Wednesday are the result of a lengthy review by top Pentagon and military leaders that looked at the impact of budget cuts on the department and developed a series of options to deal with them. The budget cuts stem from a law enacted two years ago that ordered the government to come up with $1.2 trillion in savings over a decade. The law included the threat of annual automatic cuts as a way of forcing lawmakers to reach a deal, but they have been unable to do so. As a result, come January, the Pentagon faces a cut of $54 billion from current spending if Congress fails to reverse the automatic cuts, according to calculations by Capitol Hill budget aides. The base budget must be trimmed to $498 billion, with cuts of about 4 percent hitting already reduced spending on defense, nuclear weapons and military construction.

During the talks, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to visit the region “on a regular basis” to check on progress, said Michael Ratney, the U.S. consul general in Jerusalem. John Allen, a retired U.S. general, will work closely with the negotiators on security arrangements, Ratney said. Israelis and Palestinians are trying to reach agreement on the terms of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. In two previous attempts, in 2000-2001 and in 2007-2008, the two sides made progress on drawing a border between Israel and a state of Palestine, but negotiations broke off — each time under disputed circumstances — before they could close a deal. The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war, but have said they are ready to swap a small part of the occupied lands for Israeli territory. This would enable Israel to annex some of the dozens of settlements it has built in the West Bank and east Jerusalem since 1967. Some 560,000 Israelis live there. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas initially insisted he would not return to talks unless Israel either halted settlement building or recognized its pre-1967 war line as the starting point for border talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected both demands and said the Palestinians should raise the issue of settlements in negotiations. In the end, the Palestinians resumed negotiations without Israel meeting either of those demands. Abbas has said he has received assurances from Kerry that the U.S. views the 1967 line as the basis for border talks. The U.S. sided with the Israeli view that the fate of settlements should be dealt with during the negotiations. “We said it many, many times (that) we don’t accept the legitimacy of continued settlement activity,” Ratney told Palestinian reporters Wednesday. “This is a core issue that the parties need to sit down and discuss.” Abbas has said that during Kerry’s attempt to restart negotiations, Israel proposed at one point to freeze construction in settlements that fall outside its so-called settlement blocs, or clusters of settlements, all but one of them relatively close to the 1967 line. Israel intends to keep the blocs in a final peace deal. Abbas has said he rejected the idea because the Palestinians — in line with most of the international community — view all settlements as equally illegal, regardless of location. An Israeli government official confirmed Wednesday that Israel raised the possibility of a partial freeze at one point, but that the Palestinians rejected the idea. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with briefing regulations. Despite the wide gaps between the two sides, Ratney said the U.S. believes the sides can “achieve something in nine months” if they work hard. “We never set a deadline, but we have clearly set a target,” he said. In two decades of intermittent negotiations, such timelines have been ineffective in prodding negotiators. Prosecutor: Sentencing to prove Castro is monster CLEVELAND (AP) — When Ariel Castro was first arrested and charged with imprisoning and raping three women in his house on a tough Cleveland street over a decade, his attorneys said evidence would show that he was not a monster. The county prosecutor says the facts he’ll present Thursday at Castro’s sentencing, where Castro faces life in prison plus 1,000 years, will prove the lawyers wrong. “You’ll make the same logical judgment when you see the facts,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said Friday after Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including aggravated murder, kidnapping, rape and assault. “You have not seen the evidence yet.” McGinty hasn’t said whether the three women will testify in person. The legal team representing the women’s interests declined to comment on whether they would testify or send statements to the court. The women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 ‘You’ll make the same logical judgment when you see the facts. You have not seen the evidence yet.’ — Tim McGinty Cuyahoga County Prosecutor and 20 years old. There was no immediate comment Wednesday from Castro’s defense team. Many horrific details of the women’s ordeal have already emerged, including tales of being chained to poles in the basement or a bedroom heater or inside a van, with one woman forced to wear a motorcycle helmet while chained in the basement and, after she tried to escape, having a vacuum cord wrapped around her neck. Castro repeatedly starved and beat one of the victims each time she was pregnant, forcing her to miscarry five times. He forced the same woman on threat of death to safely deliver the child he fathered with another victim on Christmas Day 2006. The same day, prosecutors say, Castro raped the woman who helped deliver his daughter. Prosecutors will ask the judge to prohibit Castro from ever seeing his daughter, now 6. McGinty says experts will also discuss the Stockholm syndrome to explain how Castro was able to keep the women captive for so long. The syndrome describes situations where hostages and victims of abduction begin to sympathize with their captors and even defend them. It was named for a 1973 bank hostage situation in Stockholm, Sweden. Castro so terrified the women that the day they were rescued, two of the victims were initially afraid to emerge even with five police officers in the house, McGinty said. When they did, they clung to police so tightly the officers couldn’t use their flashlights, he said. “That told me what fear this man put into these women and how much courage it took to survive this ordeal,” McGinty said. He also referred to the “mental and physical bond and barrier” that the first woman who escaped, Amanda Berry, had the courage to break. McGinty hinted last week at some of the conditions found inside the house, including keeping the lights turned off and using curtains as sound barriers. Berry, 27, made a surprise onstage appearance at a rap concert last weekend, and a second victim, Gina DeJesus, 23, made a few televised comments as a privacy fence was being erected around her house. The third victim, Michelle Knight, 32, appeared with Berry and DeJesus in a video in early July thanking the community for their support. The Ohio public safety chief leaves office COLUMBUS (AP) — The man who led Ohio’s public safety forces and served for many years as the state watchdog stepped down from his post Wednesday. Republican Gov. John Kasich announced the departure of Ohio Department of Public Safety director Tom Charles, 70, on Twitter: “We’ll miss you, Col. Charles! For nearly 50 years, you served Ohio well as a dedicated public servant. Best of luck on your retirement.” The administration said Charles was in discussions about serving in an advisory role at the JobsOhio economic development office, perhaps involving ethics. Wednesday was a key retirement benefit deadline under state pension reform. Kasich picked Ohio State Highway Patrol Superintendent John Born to replace Charles. He was swiftly sworn in Wednesday, and selected Col. Paul Pride to lead the patrol. Before he was appointed by Kasich to lead the Public Safety Department in 2010, Charles served for 13 years as Ohio’s inspector general, investigating corruption and wrongdoing inside state government. His office led several high-profile investigations, including one earlier that same year into the agency he was chosen to lead. That probe was considered a key factor in the resignation of thenPublic Safety Director Cathy Collins-Taylor. Charles was long viewed as nonpartisan in his investigations, having been appointed and reappointed state watchdog by both Republicans George Voinovich and Bob Taft and Democrat Ted Strickland. And his investigations turned political tides in the bellwether state. “No single Ohioan has done so much to keep Ohioans safe and enforce the law as Tom Charles,” Kasich said in making the announcement. “It’s been a pleasure to serve Ohio with him and an honor to have him on my Cabinet. He provided a steady hand for the patrol when it was needed and once again showed us all what principled leadership means.” Charles’ office led the three-year investigation into a state investment scandal that began with rare coins and eventually stretched to include the convictions of Taft, Taft’s chief of staff and 17 others. In the scandal’s wake, Democrats won four of five statewide elections in 2006, including the governor’s office. Charles also took a leading role in the probe of sexual harassment allegations at the state attorney general’s office, which prompted the resignation of Democratic Attorney General Marc Dann in 2008. Fallout from the scandal, along with the poor economy and disgruntlement with the Democratic president, contributed to Democrats losing every statewide office in 2010. Before becoming inspec- tor general, Charles served 31 years with the Highway Patrol and four years as executive director of the Office of Legislative Inspector General. Born spent 25 years rising through the ranks of the highway patrol. He was named superintendent in 2010. Kasich said Born is highly respected and a solid replacement for Charles. “While Col. Born has some big shoes to fill, he is more than capable of doing it,” the governor said. Pride has worked for the highway patrol for 24 years and is seven-year U.S. Marine veteran. He has been assistant superintendent since 2012. Mason County 52nd Annual Fair 6 Big Days!

John Arthur of Cincinnati, who is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease, won the right to be listed as married on his death certificate and to have his partner of more than 20 years listed as his surviving spouse. The federal judge’s order Monday came after Arthur and his partner, Jim Obergefell, sued state and local officials to ensure that they can be buried next to each other in Arthur’s family plot, which is in a cemetery that only allows descendants and spouses. At least four similar lawsuits are pending in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Nevada. On Friday, a Louisville couple filed a federal challenge to Kentucky’s ban on samesex marriage, contending the state doesn’t treat them and similar couples equally with other married couples. Ohio banned gay marriage in 2004 with 62 percent of the vote; Arthur and Obergefell, both 47, got married in Maryland on July 11 and wanted it recognized in their home state before Arthur’s death. The couple’s attorney, Al Gerhardstein, plans to request that the pair be able to file a joint tax return and get other benefits that other married couples enjoy. “And I cannot see how they will not be granted,” Gerhardstein said. In his decision ordering the marriage to be recognized on Arthur’s death certificate, federal Judge Timothy Black said Ohio law historically has recognized out-of-state marriages as valid as long as they were legal where they took place, citing marriages between cous- ins and involving minors. “How then can Ohio, especially given the historical status of Ohio law, single out same-sex marriages as ones it will not recognize?” Black wrote. “The short answer is that Ohio cannot.” While Arthur and Obergefell have unusual circumstances because of Arthur’s poor health, Black predicted that similar cases soon will emerge as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last month to strike down part of an anti-gay marriage law. While that decision “is ostensibly limited to a finding that the federal government cannot refuse to recognize state laws authorizing samesex marriage, the issue whether states can refuse to recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages is now surely headed to the fore,” Black said. In his strong dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia predicted just that. “As far as this court is concerned, no one should be fooled; it is just a matter of listening and waiting for the other shoe (to drop),” he wrote. “The majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition.” Harvard Law School professor Mark Tushnet said that hundreds of gay married couples living in states with gay marriage could file lawsuits similar to Arthur and Obergefell’s. “There’s a social movement here at work,” said Tushnet, who has written about the legal strategy of civil rights lawyers. “And these cases, they’re already beginning to bubble up and almost certainly a fair number of them are going to be decided in favor of the married couples.” Most of the 35 states that ban or limit gay marriage, if not all of them, recognize lawful marriages performed in other states and that will lend success to other lawsuits, said Camilla Taylor, an attorney who specializes in mar- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Phil Burress, president of the Ohio-based anti-gay marriage group Citizens for Community Values, said the decision allowing the gay couple’s marriage to be recognized in Ohio is an isolated one that amounts to “judicial activism” that likely later will be struck down by an appeals court. “This one man, unelected, appointed by Obama, who wants same-sex marriage, is forcing this upon the rest of the people of Ohio, and he’s violating our state constitution and it’s wrong,” Burress said. “If they want same-sex marriage in Ohio, then do it the way we did it and go to the polls, and we’ll decide,” he said. Gay marriage supporters are seeking to get the issue put on Ohio’s ballot next year or in 2016. A Pennsylvania couple, Ed Hill, 67, and David Palmer, 65, of Bangor, worry that when one of them dies, the other will have to pay high estate taxes. The retired couple have been together for more than 25 years and got married in Maine in May because “as seniors, they worried that they might not live to see the day when they could marry at home,” according to their lawsuit, filed July 9. “Ed and David have talked about moving to another state where their marriage would be recognized and they would have more financial security,” the lawsuit says. “But they do not want to leave their home and community. They want to grow old together in the place where they met 25 years ago.” Obergefell said that he and Arthur “would be thrilled if this turns into something bigger.” “I’m honored that we could be at the start of this, and I’m sad that it took John’s health, his impending death, to generate this,” he said. “But simply put, it was the right thing to do.” of Wisconsin-Superior.

The number of dead rose 14 percent, and wounded 28 percent, compared with January-June last year, UNAMA, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan, said in its mid-year report. It blamed the insurgency for 74 percent of the casualties, while the Taliban defended itself by claiming they were mostly legitimate targets because they were working for its enemy, the Western-backed government. Civilian casualties had dropped following U.S. President Barack Obama’s 30,000-troop surge. But UNAMA’s latest report cited an intensifying Taliban campaign to recapture lost ground as the coalition, which is preparing to complete its withdrawal by the end of 2014, hands over security responsibilities to a rebuilt Afghan military and police force. UNAMA said it counted 1,319 civilian deaths and 2,533 wounded from January to June, compared with 1,158 deaths and 1,976 wounded in the first six months of 2012.. It said most were caused by homemade bombs and mines on or near roads. Nine percent were attributed to the Afghan security forces and U.S.-led international military coalition, and 12 percent to ground engagements between pro-government forces and insurgents. The rest were either unattributed or caused by old explosive charges. Many died in ground engagements in the east and south where the U.S. launched its 2009 surge to roll back the insurgents’ significant gains. The renewed fighting “presents an increasing risk to Afghan children, women and men,” said Georgette Gagnon, head of human rights for UNAMA. The report found that 207 civilians died and 764 were injured in clashes between Afghan forces and the Taliban, a 42 percent increase from the same period last year. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said that Afghan forces are taking more casualties because they are doing more of the fighting against the Taliban. She said it was “inevitable that the numbers will probably rise because they’re taking on so much more capability. I think it’s 80 percent of all security operations now.” Most foreign forces are to leave this year and there are already fewer than 100,000, 66,000 of them American. Plans to leave some troops are on hold pending signature of a delayed U.S.-Afghan security agreement. Another cause cited by UNAMA for the intensified civilian bloodshed is a stepped-Taliban campaign against the Afghan Local Police, equipped and trained by the U.S. as a first line of defense in remote areas. These units live among the population, so civilians are more likely to be caught in the crossfire. UNAMA also recorded 103 attacks on civilians working for the government, in which 114 died — a 76 percent jump from the first half of last year. Amirullah Aman, an Afghan political analyst and former army general, said the rise in civilian casualties was no surprise. “The Taliban are using all their options, suicide attacks, organized attacks and roadside bomb attacks,” he said. “Civilians are the victims in most of those attacks.” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denounced the report as “baseless propaganda” driven by the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, and said the Taliban would keep targeting civilians it considers linked to the U.S.led coalition or the administration of President Hamid Karzai.

Fed’s dimmer outlook could mean longer bond buying WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve stopped short of signaling any timetable Wednesday for slowing its bond buying. Instead, it dropped hints that it might need to maintain its $85 billion a month in bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term borrowing rates ultra-low. In a statement after a two-day policy meeting the Fed: — Slightly downgraded its assessment of economic growth from “moderate” to “modest.” — Noted for the first time that mortgage rates, which have fueled home sales, “have risen somewhat” from record lows. — Pointed out that inflation has fallen “persistently below” its 2 percent target. The Fed’s bond purchases could help stop inflation from falling so low that it could pose a threat to the economy. Taken together, such factors could cause the Fed to delay any pullback in its bond buying beyond September. September is when many economists have thought the Fed would start to slow its purchases because of a strengthening economy. “I don’t think the Fed will be ready” to slow its bond purchases in September,” said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif. “Not only is growth running below their target, but inflation is below where they would like it to be.” The Fed does expect growth to pick up in the second half of the year. But it doesn’t appear ready to assume it will. Investors offered a muted reaction to the Fed’s policy statement. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 73 points an hour after the statement was released at 2 p.m. Eastern time. It had been up 13 points moments before. The yield on the 10year Treasury note fell to 2.62 percent from 2.66 percent just before the announcement. In its statement, the Fed said it will keep buying $85 billion a month in bonds to help lower long-term interest rates. And it says it plans to hold its key shortterm rate at a record low near zero at least as long as the unemployment rate stays above 6.5 percent Lunches From Page 1 to be met to participate in the program, with the Meigs Local School District meeting those requirements,” said Rusty Bookman, superintendent. He added that a major goal of the program is to encourage meal participation by all students. The program applies to every student in Meigs Local, regardless of family income. No applications are required, and as a result the free and reduced lunch forms that parents normally fill out at the beginning of every year will not be required this year. “The administration of Meigs Local understands the hardships our families face every day, and is happy to be able to provide this amazing opportunity to our students and their families,” Bookman said. This means that students will have the opportunity for two free meals every day - breakfast, which has been free to all students for several years, and now lunch which is free to all students. The superintendent commented on the financial relief this will provide to many families who have limited incomes and several children in school, but did not qualify financially for free or reduced lunches. It was pointed out by Musser that only the initial meal, which consists of up to five items, is free. Any extras, such as an extra beverage or second meals, will still have to be paid for. It was noted that parents can still send cash or a check to the school with their children to cover those extras, or can put money on the child’s account via credit/debit card on the school website. No additional personnel will be required to carry out the program, according to Musser, although larger numbers of the approximately 1,800 students enrolled, are expected to take the free lunches. Bookman said this is a one-year program and continuance will depend on the cost - whether or not the government grant takes care of the expense or it creates more expense for the school district. He described it as a “learn-as-we-go program.” In the spring the district qualified for a summer feeding program which will wind down before school starts. That program, according to Musser has been providing food to all families where one of the students enrolled in Meigs Local was on the no-or-low-cost lunch program. Musser reported that currently there are about 500 families in the Meigs Local School District on that program and went on to say that a few more families could be added before the program ends.

Wood added that Deputy Zach had done his normal routine of training without issue Tuesday morning, and the problem began later Tuesday evening. Deputy Brandy King, who had been selected as the officer for the K-9 Unit, had been working with Zach on her own time over the past few weeks and was expected to begin formal training with the dog next week. Officers held a service and burial Wednesday morning for Zach, and a wreath has been placed near the flag pole at the office with the flag at half staff. Zach was to be trained as a dual purpose officer, able to detect drugs and aid in apprehending criminals. It has been approximately five years since the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office has operated a K-9 unit, something Wood spoke of the need for when he took office back in January. Wood said his office plans to move forward in looking for another K-9 officer. He said that it had taken about two months to get the this point with Deputy Zach, and it will take time to move forward with the acquisition of a new dog. A fund to benefit the Meigs County Sheriff’s K-9 Program was established earlier this summer to assist in the funding of the program. A fund has been established at Farmers Bank to receive donations, or they can be sent to the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at 104 East Second Street, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769. and the inflation outlook remains mild. Stronger job growth has fueled speculation that the Fed could start reducing its purchases as soon as September. But economic growth remains sluggish and unemployment high at 7.6 percent. At its June meeting, the Fed had described economic growth as “moderate,” and forecast that growth could be at least 2.3 percent for the year. In the Fed’s sometimes arcane language, “moderate” is stronger than “modest.” Chairman Ben Bernanke said after the June meeting that the Fed could slow the bond purchases later this year if the economy and job market continued to strengthen. But after Wednesday’s meeting, the Fed described the economy as expanding only at a “modest pace.” Earlier Wednesday, the government said the economy grew at a subpar 1.7 percent annual rate from April through June. The pace was an improvement from than the previous two quarters, which were revised lower. Still, growth remains sluggish and has been below 2 percent for three straight quarters.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Redwood City, Calif., company can’t invoke the 1st Amendment to shield it from the players’ lawsuit. The legal action was filed in 2009 by Sam Keller, a quarterback who played for Arizona State before transferring to the University of Nebraska. It argues for class action status to represent all current and former players and has been combined with a similar lawsuit filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon against the NCAA. EA said it plans to appeal the ruling. The company has claimed its college-based sports games were works of arts deserving freedom of expression protection. The court disagreed, ruling the avatars used in the company’s basketball and football games were exact replicas of individual players. The court concluded that the company did little to transform the avatars into works of art and said EA’s NCAA Football game was too realistic to be considered a new art form. “Every real football player on each team included in the game has a corresponding avatar in the game with the player’s actual jersey number and virtually identical height, weight, build, skin tone, hair color, and home state,” Judge Jay Bybee wrote for the divided three-judge panel. See APPEAL | 8 David Eullitt | Kansas City Star | MCT photo Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14) scores a second quarter touchdown on a 1-yard run against the Kansas City Chiefs during NFL action on Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Dalton more in charge during Bengals camp CINCINNATI (AP) — When receiver Cobi Hamilton dropped a sideline pass during a training camp practice, quarterback Andy Dalton sought him out and gave the rookie an encouraging and emphatic slap on the helmet. Cincinnati’s young quarterback is acting more like a leader. The Bengals made him a team captain last year after coach Marvin Lewis challenged him to be more assertive. Dalton was forced to spend much of his first two seasons just learning the offense and making sure he was doing everything right. Now, he’s making sure everyone around him is doing the right thing, too. “I feel like I’m not just leading by example out there, I’m also being vocal out there,” Dalton said. “Now that I’ve played a couple of years, I’ve got some notches on my belt, so I feel like everybody knows that they can trust me. They know how hard I work and how much I study to get prepared for these games. “I feel like I’m able to be a really good leader for this, not only offensively, but for everybody as a whole.” If the Bengals are going to end one of the longest playoff victory droughts in NFL history, Dalton is going to have to lead the way. The second-round pick from TCU is the only Bengals quarterback to reach the playoffs in each of his first two seasons. He has thrown 47 touchdown passes, trailing only Dan Marino (68) and Peyton Manning (52) for most in the first two seasons. His biggest shortcoming has been two subpar playoff performances resulting in losses at Houston, leaving Cincinnati See DALTON | 8 Bailey takes shutout into 9th in Reds win SAN DIEGO (AP) — Homer Bailey came within two outs of a five-hit shutout to end his fourstart losing streak and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 Wednesday to snap a five-game skid. Brandon Phillips homered and Joey Votto hit a two-run double for the Reds, who avoided a three-game sweep and ended San Diego’s fourgame winning streak. Bailey had allowed just five singles going into the ninth, when Everth Cabrera reached on a fielding error by first baseman Votto leading off the inning. The right-hander got Chris Denorfia to fly out before Chase Headley doubled in Cabrera. Manager Dusty Baker pulled Bailey, and Aroldis Chapman got the final two outs for his 25th save in 29 chances. The performance by Bailey was just what the Reds needed to end a 10game West Coast trip on a positive note. Not only had the Reds lost five straight after winning the first four games of the trip, but Bailey hadn’t won since throwing the second no-hitter of his career July 2 at home against San Francisco. Three of his four losses since then had come on the road. Bailey (6-10) allowed six hits and one unearned run, struck out seven and walked none. Phillips homered to center field off lefty Eric Stults (8-10) leading off the second, his 13th. The Reds added three more runs in the seventh, all unearned because of third baseman Headley’s throwing error on Derrick Robinson’s grounder. The error put runners on first and third, and Chris Heisey singled to left to score Zack Cosart, aboard on a leadoff single. Votto followed with a double to right to bring in Robinson and Heisey. Stults allowed four runs, one earned, on 10 hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out five and walked none. NOTES: The Reds are off Thursday before opening an eight-game homestand with the first of three games against the NL Central rival St. Louis Cardinals. RHP Bronson Arroyo (9-8, 3.26 ERA) is scheduled to start against RHP Shelby Miller (10-7, 2.79). Kyle Robertson | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde (34) carries the ball up field against Michigan State in the second half at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011. Hyde suspended for at least 3 games COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde was suspended Tuesday for at least three games and will be required to meet additional obligations before he plays again for the Buckeyes. Hyde had been suspended indefinitely after he was named a person of interest in an investigation into an alleged assault of a woman at a downtown Columbus bar. But police said earlier Tuesday that the case had been dropped. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer then announced Hyde’s punishment “for conduct not representative of this football program or this university.” There was no word in the release on what Meyer meant by the “additional obli- gations” that Hyde would have to complete before he was allowed to play in another game. Hyde, a 6-foot-2, 242-pound senior from Naples, Fla., scored 17 touchdowns to lead the Buckeyes to a 12-0 record last fall. He gained 970 yards on 185 carries. Ohio State opens its fall camp on Sunday. The Buckeyes’ opener is Aug. 31 against Buffalo, followed by another home game against San Diego State and then a trip to California to face the Golden Bears. Police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said Tuesday that the alleged victim chose not to pursue charges against the Buckeyes’ leading scorer and second-leading rusher a year ago. “We were in the middle of our investigation,” Weiner said. “The most important thing left to do was interview the (alleged) victim. She met with investigators on Saturday and informed officers that she didn’t want to pursue charges.” Weiner said the case against Hyde was officially closed. At the time of Hyde’s suspension — the same day three other Buckeyes were disciplined for off-the-field legal problems — Meyer said: “I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and are expected to honor. There are also expectations with regard to behavior. I expect our players See HYDE | 8 OVP Sports Briefs Southern junior high volleyball practice RACINE, Ohio — Southern junior high volleyball practice will start Monday, August 5, at the elementary gymnasium from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. For more information, contact Alan Crisp at (740) 444-3309.

Bybee noted that EA omitted putting the names of players on the avatars. “EA can hardly be considered to be ‘reporting’ on Keller’s career at Arizona State and Nebraska when it is not even using Keller’s name in connection with his avatar in the game,” Bybee concluded. Judge Sidney Thomas dissented. She warned that the majority’s stance will jeopardize the rights of authors, movie makers and others to use real people in fictional settings. “Absent the use of actual footage, the motion picture ‘Forrest Gump’ might as well be just a box of chocolates,” Thomas wrote. “Without its historical characters, ‘Midnight in Paris’ would be reduced to a pedestrian domestic squabble.” EA no longer makes a college basketball game. The NCAA said two weeks ago that it won’t seek a new contract with EA Sports when the current deal expires in June 2014. EA said it intended to continue making a college football product without NCAA logos. The decision upheld a lower court ruling. In a separate ruling, the same panel tossed out Jim Brown’s lawsuit against EA, even though Brown made similar — but not identical — allegations as Keller.

Front St. Police looked into the allegation but Weiner said the case came to an end when she declined to pursue charges. Besides Hyde, the other players disciplined on July 22 were star cornerback Bradley Roby and freshmen recruits Marcus Baugh, a tight end, and defensive lineman Tim Gardner. Each was involved in a separate incident. Roby was arrested in Bloomington, Ind., and is facing preliminary charges of misdemeanor battery resulting in bodily injury for making contact with a bar employee. He was prevented by Meyer from representing Ohio State at last week’s Big Ten football meetings in Chicago. eryone follows the script, which is one of the next steps that coach Marvin Lewis wants to see. “It’s not about Andy, but let’s make sure these other 10 guys are exact,” Lewis said. “We have a lot of comfort in Andy to get us in the right spots and where we want to go. The other guys now have to adjust and move forward. To me, that’s the thing.” It’s been evident during the first six practices of training camp. “I think I’ve really taken control of this offense,” Dalton said. “I have an understanding of everything that we’re doing. Everything that they’re asking me to do at the line of scrimmage — changing plays, changing protections, changing routes — whatever it may be, I have full control of that. “All of that is going to make this offense better, and make me better as a player.” Dalton From Page 6 without a playoff victory since the 1990 season.

You will note that in general, they seem to have a quirky or unpredictable quality to them. Emphasize your long-term desires, but be willing to fulfill your goals in a less-traditional manner. If you are single, you could meet someone through a friend, or a friendship could become more. If you are attached, as a couple you might head in a new direction and love every moment of the change. GEMINI might appear to be a bit flaky, but he or she really is there for you. 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) You might express a strong interest in someone’s hobby or major interest. This person will be delighted to share more of this pastime with you. Just make sure that he or she doesn’t misread your intention and take it in a way that would not be accurate. Tonight: With friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What you might think is a good idea and an excellent investment will be the opposite of what a friend or loved one thinks. You could have a lot of conversations ahead, until you see eye to eye. You also will gain insight into this person. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will feel like blazing a new trail. Pressure builds around a particular part of your daily life. Relax, and work with others. Focus on a sudden turn of events. You might not believe what a friend decides to do. Take a step back and just observe. Tonight: Where the fun is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to move past a hassle marks the day. You also seem to be more sensitive to others, and you know when to take action or pull back. Use your instincts and your creativity, especially when dealing with an unpredictable boss or relative. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Let go of a problem. If you keep your eye on the big picture, you will not make a mistake. Someone’s response could encourage a pause in your day, as you’ll need to rethink a situation. It is good to be able to stop, reflect and be surprised. Tonight: Open up to different thinking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be taken aback by a partner or loved one’s reaction. Take some time to rejuvenate as you carefully consider where he or she is come from. This person keeps you from being locked into your own way of thinking. Tonight: Others remain responsive when you call. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out for new information. The more you know, the better you will be able to handle a situation. Make a call to someone at a distance; you could get a fresh perspective from this person. You also respect his or her judgment. Tonight: Get ready for a surprise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll want to understand where someone else is coming from. You could be taken aback by a series of independent and erratic actions. You also might want to see a situation differently. A discussion with a close associate will result in a change of attitude. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to others, and you’ll find out what is needed in order to balance someone’s demands. Sometimes this person makes sense to you, but he or she has a tendency to do the unexpected. Ask questions if need be. Tonight: Observe a loved one’s spontaneous behavior. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen well to news, and be open to a different approach. An element in the way you structure your day could be subject to change. At first, you might feel uneasy about this, but eventually you’ll see the positive benefits of the alteration. Tonight: Run some errands. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) While everyone might seem very serious and determined, you’ll have an open mind for the possibility of a change. You also could see many more benefits and positive outcomes than others do. A new friendship could be a source of excitement. Tonight: Let the good times roll. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll need to deal with an important financial matter; try not to shake up the status quo in a negative way. Taking a risk might be OK now, if you can sustain a loss. Only you know for sure. A family matter or personal issue dominates the moment. Tonight: Happiest at home.
