Second meeting on tax, fee increases held
Sarah Hawley

shawley@heartlandpublications.com

POMEROY — The second public meeting on the
proposed sales tax and
conveyance fee increases
was held on Friday evening
at the Meigs County Courthouse.
For the second straight
week, local residents gathered in the Common Pleas
Courtroom to hear from
the commissioners on the
need for the tax and fee increase.
Commissioner Tim Ihle
explained that the county
does not have the money to
pay the bills and make the

needed repairs to existing
facilities.
The
commissioners
have proposed a one half
percent increase on sales
tax in the county and a
one mill ($1 per $1,000 of
sale price) increase to the
conveyance fee.
The increases would be
put in place by an emergency resolution and
would require unanimous
approval from the three
commissioners.
Going on the numbers
from 2011, an increase
of one half percent in the
sales tax would bring in
approximately $687,000.
The conveyance fee in-

crease would generate
approximately
$30,000
(according to 2009 numbers).
The conveyance fee
is on the actual value of
property sold.
Ihle highlighted some
of the problems with infrastructure which have
been unable to be fixed
due to lack of funds. Ihle
noted that the old hospital’s roof has fallen in, the
roof on the annex leaks,
and the air conditioning
is not working properly.
Even after cleaning up
all the spending and old
accounts in the county,
the county just broke even

last year, with very little
carry over remaining.
Without a transfer of
funds ($75,000) back into
county general from by order of Judge Dale Crawford,
there would have not be the
carry over or all the bills being paid.
There is also the continued rise in insurance costs,
which last year had to be
passed on to the individual
employees. Ihle added that
insurance costs are once
again expected to increase
this year.
Local resident and businessman Horace Karr questioned if cuts and layoffs
had been made, which the

commissioners said layoffs
had not taken place on the
already low staff.
Karr also asked about
the collection of delinquent
taxes. Commissioner Tom
Anderson stated that the
county is going after those
who do not pay, setting
up payment arrangements
when needed. Karr noted
the poor timing of the meeting, with it being held on a
holiday weekend.
Pomeroy resident Floyd
Cleland asked if anyone
had gone to the state to ask
them to cut foreign aid. The
commissioners noted that
as members of the County
Commissioners Association

of Ohio, they are represented in matters concerning
the state budget and foreign
aid.
Ihle said that the state is
supposed to give money to
each county from the casinos which are opening in
the state, but it is unclear
how the money will be distributed.
Dan Lantz asked about
the CDs the county has in
the local banks. Lantz asked
about the possibility of taking a small amount from the
CDs to uses rather than increasing the sales tax.
Ihle said that while it
could be done, it would be

King Ace Hardware celebrates 60 years
King Ace Hardware celebrated 60 years of
business in the Meigs County area during a
customer appreciation party in the downtown streets of Middleport Friday night.
The business was started by the late Bob
King in the spring of 1952 in Bradbury as
RV King Construction, then later changed
to King Builders Supply and most-recently
became King Ace Hardware. The business
spent a decade in two locations in Bradbury before moving to Middleport in 1962,
then moved to its current location in 1972.
King Ace Hardware is currently operated by
Bob’s son, Tim, and his wife Edie. Pictured
above, from left, are Libby King, Tim King,
Edie King, Sue King, Lily King and T.J. King.
Besides prizes and free popcorn, King Ace
Hardware also brought in a band, Remember
Then, to entertain the very large crowd that
showed up. Kathy Thomas, right, is all smiles

Mitt Romney ready to
claim GOP nomination
CRAIG, Colo. (AP) —
Mitt Romney is poised to
clinch the Republican presidential nomination after
Tuesday’s Texas GOP primary, a largely uncontested
election that will formalize
the former Massachusetts
governor’s status as President Barack Obama’s general election challenger.
While Romney’s nomination has been virtually assured for a month, the day
marks the culmination of
several years of work, dating back to his unsuccessful
2008 effort, and perhaps far
earlier.
“It’ll be a big day tomorrow,” Romney told reporters aboard his campaign
plane Monday evening. “I’m
looking forward to the good
news.”
But Romney’s focus Tuesday will be hundreds of
miles north of Texas, where
he’s scheduled to court voters and donors in Colorado
and Nevada during a twostate swing punctuated by
a Las Vegas fundraiser with
conservative businessman
Donald Trump.

The evening event, set
for the Trump International Hotel, comes amidst
fresh criticism from Republicans and Democrats
over Trump’s continued
questioning of Obama’s
citizenship. Romney hasn’t
condemned Trump’s false
claims, offering a fresh example of the presidential
contender’s reluctance to
confront his party’s more
extreme elements. There
have been other examples
in recent weeks that underscore Romney’s delicate
push to win over skeptical
conservatives while appealing to moderates and
independents who generally deliver general election
victories.
Asked Monday to weigh
in on Trump’s support for
the so-called birther movement, Romney declined to
condemn Trump’s latest
suggestion that Obama was
born in Kenya.
“I don’t agree with all the
people who support me.
And my guess is they don’t
all agree with everything

Ask Dr. Brothers

Should he just cut his losses?
Dear Dr. Brothers:
I have a question about
breaking up with my girlfriend, who has been with
me in my home for four
years. She never worked,
but that was OK with me at
the time. Now I am being
downsized, we are breaking
up and she has gotten a job.
I am fine with all this, but
when I add up all I spent on
her (she contributed nothing), I get very upset, and I
want some of the money repaid. I don’t know whether
to stir this pot or try to let
it go. I don’t want to end up
hating her. — H.N.
Dear H.N.: Not many
couples who cohabitate for
a few years without plans
for marriage or a roadmap
for the future make detailed
financial plans together.
What usually happens —
and probably did in your
case as well — is that the
one with more resources invited the other to move in
with him or her. But it’s not
unusual for one partner to
be left holding the bag when
the formerly happy couple
decide to part, and it’s not
a surprise that it’s the one
with the greater resources
who ends up with a hole in

his or her walductive. Good

you can work with what
you’ve already got, and get
your goals straight for the

Beryl expected to dump rain along SE coast
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP)
— The former tropical
storm Beryl was expected
to bring up to 10 inches of
rain to parts of the southeast coast before it heads
out to sea again, where it
could regain some strength.
Forecasters said Beryl,
downgraded to a tropical depression after losing
wind strength Monday,
could dump up to 4 inches
of rain in coastal South
Carolina, where a flash
flood warning was in place.
Southeast Georgia and
northern Florida could get
as much as 10 inches.
Meteorologist Brett Cimbora of the National Weather Service in Charleston,
S.C., said the risk of flash
floods was greater because
much of the area has been
dry and sudden rain could
run off the hard soil instead
of soaking into the ground.
Meanwhile, with the official start of hurricane
season coming Friday, U.S.
officials are reviewing their
disaster plans — especially
since a tropical storm already swept ashore this
week.
While Beryl, which hit as
a tropical storm, left little
damage after making landfall with 70 mph winds early Monday at Jacksonville,
Fla., it gave the city the
chance to put its natural disaster plans to the test.
“You can call it a dry run,
but we were prepared,”
Mayor Alvin Brown said.
The city will assess the
damage before deciding
how much federal and state
aid to seek, Brown said.
About 20,000 customers
remained without electricity in the city Monday evening.
Although the Atlantic’s
six-month storm season officially begins Friday, the
season got off to an early

start with Tropical Storm
Alberto forming earlier in
the month off the coast of
South Carolina.
Then
Beryl
swept
ashore. Beach trips, backyard barbecues and graveside Memorial Day observances got a good soaking
in southeastern Georgia
and northern Florida.
Jacksonville, because of
its location on an inward
curve in the Florida coast,
rarely takes a direct hit
from a tropical storm or
hurricane.
“I hope this is not a sign
of things to come,” said
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson. “It’s
quite unusual, if you look at
the history of the tracks of
hurricanes, that you would
have one come straight
into Jacksonville from the
Atlantic. … Normally the
hurricanes are forming out
in the Atlantic and as they
come toward the coast of
the United States, the Gulfstream has a tendency to
turn them north.”
By Tuesday morning,
Beryl had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph (45
kph). It was centered about
115 miles (185 kilometers)
west-southwest of Savannah and was moving northeast near 5 mph (7 kph).
The National Hurricane
Center in Miami says the
depression’s center was
expected to near the South
Carolina coast by Wednesday morning, then veer
back over the Atlantic
where it could regain tropical storm strength.
Joyce Connolly and her
daughters left their home
in Hurricane, W.Va., to
head south for a Memorial
Day vacation in to Jacksonville Beach, Fla. — and
ended up in the center of
Tropical Storm Beryl.
The storm wrecked
much of Connolly’s trip.

She skipped a graduation ceremony because
powerful winds kept her
and her daughters from
venturing past the beach
boardwalk when the storm
approached Sunday. She
also postponed their drive
home Monday as Beryl,
downgraded to a tropical
depression, continued to
dump rain near the Georgia-Florida state line.
“It definitely changed
our vacation to unfortunate circumstances that
we’re not happy with. But
you just have to live with
it,” said Connolly, who at
least found the irony of her
hometown’s name “pretty
funny.”
Beach lifeguards turned
swimmers away from the
ocean because of dangerous
rip currents from Jacksonville to Tybee Island, Georgia’s largest public beach
140 miles to the north.
Skip Sasser, who oversees
the island’s lifeguards as its
fire chief, said beach traffic was unusually thin for
a holiday. The ocean was
declared off-limits to swimmers for a second day in a
row.
“It’s been raining intermittently, so it’s chased
a lot of them off,” Sasser
said. “There was a lot of
traffic this morning heading westbound out of Tybee.”
Veterans groups, meanwhile, carried out outdoor
Memorial Day ceremonies
despite the grim forecast.
At Savannah’s historic
Bonaventure Cemetery —
made famous by the book,
“Midnight in the Garden
of Good and Evil” —
American Legion members
worked through a downpour to make sure its plot
for veterans had a small
American flag planted by
each headstone.

“When we were setting
up, I had a different shirt
on and I got soaked to the
skin. My socks and my underwear probably are, too,”
said Jim Grismer, commander of American Legion Post 135 in Savannah.
“I had so many people trying to talk me into moving
it inside. But I said then
you can’t have the live firing salute and the flag raising.”
Aside from ruining holiday plans, the rain was welcome on the Georgia coast
for bringing some relief
from persistent drought.
According to the state climatologist’s office, as of
May 1, rainfall in Savannah
was 15 inches below normal for the past 12 months.
Emergency officials said
minor flooding was reported near the coast, but the
ground was quickly soaking up the water. And the
winds had died down considerably.
“We’ve needed it for a
long time,” said Ray Parker, emergency management director for coastal
McIntosh County south
of Savannah, who said the
worst damage came by
trees falling on two homes
overnight. “We were lucky
that we didn’t get 3 to 4
inches in 30 minutes. Most
of it soaked right in before
it had a chance to run off.
It fell on an empty sponge.”
Florida Gov. Rick Scott
said much progress was
made repairing Beryl’s
damage, including removing trees and restoring
power to homes and businesses.
“We’re very fortunate
this did not become a hurricane,” he said. “If it had
been a couple of months
later, we could have had a
Category 3 hurricane.”

URG/RGCC announces
summer schedule
Staff report
RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio
Grande/Rio Grande Community College
has switched to its summer hour schedule,
and most of the campus is now closed on
Fridays.
During the summer hours, most buildings on campus are open for extended hours
Mondays through Thursdays, but are then
closed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Rio Grande offices are now opening at 7
a.m. and are remaining open until 5:30 p.m.
Monday through Thursday.
The hours will remain this way until Rio
Grande shifts back to its regular hours at
the beginning of the fall semester,
The campus will have a few exceptions to
the summer hours, as some buildings may
be open on Fridays and on the weekends
at times. The Lyne Center, for example, is
open Mondays through Fridays, as well as
on Sundays to accommodate area residents
who want to use the fitness center, swimming pool, racquetball courts, basketball
courts or other facilities.
All Rio Grande classes are held on Mondays through Thursdays during the summer
months. Rio Grande offers summer classes
in a wide range of academic areas each year,
and the summer classes are becoming more
and more popular.
The summer schedule is changed each

year for several reasons, including the opportunity to save on energy costs. By reducing the number of days the campus facilities
are open each week, Rio Grande is able to
reduce its energy usage and save money on
its utility bills. Some classroom buildings
are also closed for the summer in order to
save even more on energy costs
The summer hours also are designed to
better serve area residents who may not be
able to make it to campus during the traditional hours. By opening at 7 a.m. and not
closing until 5:30 p.m., Rio Grande is able
to be open for area residents to stop in before their work or other responsibilities begin for the day, and the campus is also open
after many people are finished working.
This allows area residents to pick up
their transcripts, register for classes and do
other work on campus around their schedules.
In addition, some campus facilities are
open on additional days and for extended
hours for the many musical, athletic and
academic camps held on campus during the
summer, as well as for the summer orientation sessions for new students.
For more information on the summer
schedule as well as for answers to where
different classes and programs are being
held during the summer months, call 1-800282-7201.

URG Academic Excellence Initiative
features research, programs
$35 million available for
self-employment programs
Staff report

RIO GRANDE — Working on special programs
and research projects during the 2011-2012 academic
year, students and faculty
from the University of Rio
Grande/Rio Grande Community College made a
new film, produced a compact disc of original music,
worked on chemistry projects, used x-ray technology
for special programs and
worked on wide range of
subjects.
The research projects and
special programs were completed as part of the Provost’s Academic Excellence
Initiative at Rio Grande.
On Thursday, April 26 and
Friday, April 27, the students and faculty members
involved with the Provost’s
Academic Excellence Initiative presented the results of
their work before crowds
made up of students, faculty, staff, Provost Ken Porada, Ph.D., and Rio Grande
President Barbara GellmanDanley, Ph.D.
“We span all academic
disciplines,” Porada said
while welcoming the audience to the April 26 session.
He explained that this is the
second year for the Provost’s Academic Excellence
Initiative, which is designed
to enhance the academic
experiences for Rio Grande
students.
“This is awesome,” Gellman-Danley told the students who were preparing
for their presentations. “I
want to hear from you.”
The faculty members involved with each project
first explained the program
the students were working
on, and then the students
discussed exactly what they
did, what they learned and
how the project went. The
students also answered
questions about their work.
Faculty member Benjy
Davies, for example, explained that his students
used film, animation, timelapse photography, claymation and other methods to
create a series of short films
that were put together into
one longer film titled “Nothing on the Telly.”
Students Lisa Brooks,
Dane Eichinger, Rachael
Fraeser, Ryan Griffith, Kaitlyn Kay, Pearce Michal,
Erin Roach, Ashton Saunders and Kia Wright all
worked on the project, and
several of them discussed
their work during the presentation. The students ex-

plained that they learned a
lot working on the film, and
said that Davies is able to
encourage his students to
want to learn through his
special projects and classes.
The students also showed
the film, which was very
popular with the audience.
Faculty member Dr.
Donna Martin had a very
different presentation with
her students, as they studied the different chemical
properties of paints used in
artworks, and also studied
how the paints would last
over time, how vibrant the
colors would be and how
the paints would react to
different surfaces.
The project, “Chemistry
and Art: Determining Qualities and Analyzing Perspectives,” featured the work of
students Kris Kleski, Hannah Hirst, Holly Huntley,
Andrea Young and Logan
Black. The students all gave
presentations on the different parts of the research
project. Black, for example,
discussed the paints artists could use for skin colors, and also explained the
chemical reactions involved
with the paints.
Hirst discussed several
other aspects of the paints,
including which types were
used in prehistoric times,
the type of paint used in
Egyptian tombs, and how
one paint was actually discovered by accident.
For her project, Radiologic Technology Program
Director Tracey Boggs had
her students working on
special x-ray technology images. The project featured
the work of students Loretta Bandy, Thomas Bentley,
Tammy Harrison, Amber
Holsinger, Richard Johnson,
Casey Love, Kaitlyn Lowry,
Heather Mahan, Hannah
Newsom, Amanda Parise,
Mary Schramm, Tierany
Tobert, Jennifer Tschudy
and Tara Young.
As part of the presentation, the students showed
x-ray images from patients
suffering from different
health problems, and then
explained how they took
the x-ray images. The students also answered questions from audience members about the images and
the health problems the patients were suffering from.
For the project that Fine
Arts professors Scott Michal and Dr. Chris Kenney
worked on, Rio Grande students composed their own
songs, and then performed
and recorded them. The

songs were then put onto a
compact disc that features
songs from a wide range of
musical styles. The talents
of the Rio Grande students
shines through on the compact disc, which is very entertaining and very professional.
The students involved in
the project included Derrick
Adkins, Logan Black, Byron
Brammer, Kayla Dowell, Jason Hampton, Cody Greer,
Aryn Gritter, Devin Lear,
Shelby Merry, Pearce Michal, Cody Nordine, Tessa
Roach, Naveen Sharma, Regan Spires, Andrew Toohey,
Mason Traylor, Clay Webb
and Nathan Wood.
“I was having a really
good day, and I decided that
I wanted to write a song
about it,” Black said about
one of his songs on the album.
Merry told the audience
that she was inspired to
write one of the songs when
her best friend’s mother was
critically ill.
“I wrote this song for
her,” Merry said.
Scott Michal, who is also
a professional musician and
composer whose songs have
been performed around
the world, said he was impressed with the songwriting and musical abilities of
all of the students.
The other projects also
featured fascinating presentations by Rio Grande students and faculty members,
discussing the work that
they did during the school
year. These projects included: Dr. Kent Williams and
students Donn Ballenger
and Agnes Hapka presented
their project, “A Labor Upward into Futurity: Perspectives of Donn Ballenger and
Agnes Hapka.” Dr. Jacob
White and students Brad
Altier, Sheri Marcum, Andrea Merry and Whitney
Smith presented their project, “A High-Impact Professional Learning Experience
for Chemistry Majors.” Dr.
Sarin Williams and students
Allyson Johnston, Nattalie
Phillips, Tyler Phillips and
Nathan Wood presented
their project, “American
Choral Director’s Association Central Division Collegiate Honors Choir.” The
students were all part of the
honors choir.

Ohio Department of Job and Family
Services receives $1,238,931
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor announced the availability of $35 million in funds to develop,
enhance and promote Self-Employment
Assistance programs in all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition,
guidance released today clarifies that
states may enroll participants who are
currently receiving or eligible for federally funded Emergency Unemployment
Compensation and Extended Benefits.
This announcement is the latest in a
series of innovative reforms to the Unemployment Insurance program made
possible through the Middle Class Tax
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012,
which was signed by President Obama in
February.
“Self-Employment Assistance has
proven to be a valuable tool in helping
many unemployed Americans realize the
dream of business ownership,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “These
grants will help states improve and expand the program while strengthening
the economy and creating new jobs as
more startups launch and grow.”
Participants in these voluntary programs are provided with financial assistance equal to their Unemployment
Insurance benefits while they receive
important entrepreneurial training and
resources to help launch their own busi-

nesses. In order to allow participants
to devote full-time attention to creating
new businesses that have the potential to
create additional jobs, state work search
requirements are waived.
Grant money can be used by states to
implement a new Self-Employment Assistance program or improve the administration of current programs, as well as
to promote programs and enroll eligible
participants. In order to receive federal
funding, states’ UI laws must meet the
Labor Department’s requirements. Five
states (Delaware, Maine, New Jersey,
New York and Oregon) have active SelfEmployment Assistance programs and
are eligible now to apply for these grant
funds. The other states have until June
30, 2013, to submit complete applications to the department.
The Labor Department will work with
interested states to assist them in developing legislation as needed, and to
implement Self-Employment Assistance
programs. The department also will
work with states on outreach strategies
to identify potential entrepreneurs who
are good candidates to start their own
businesses. Additionally, the department
is partnering with the Small Business
Administration to provide technical assistance to states and to ensure that SBA
resources are leveraged as states design
Self-Employment Assistance programs.

Hemlock Grange meets
Hemlock Grange met recently at the Grange Hall
with Rosalie Story conducting the meeting. County
Deputy Patty Dyer was
there for the inspection of
the grange.
Agricultural Legislative
Chairman Roy Grueser gave
a report on corn crop. Dry
weather in parts of the US
Corn Belt and surging soy
bean prices could undercut
government projection for
a record-beating corn crop
this year. Farmers have been
increasing the number of
acres they plant with corn
in response to historically
high prices. The amount of
rainfall will determine the
corn crop.
Adell White, FAC Chairwoman, reported on the

various contests available.
The grange turned in 42
pounds of pop tabs; 227
used hearing aid batteries;
381 points in Campbell
Soup Labels and 37 pairs of
eyeglasses and cases to the
state grange. Voting on delegates to the state convention was held.
The annual grange banquet was held April 27 in
honor of Grange Month.
The dinner was served at
the American Legion Hall
on Pomeroy Pike. Ed Cochran was the speaker.
Kim Romine, Lecturer,
used as her topic, “The
Sage Plant.” Sometimes
called “sage the savior.” It is
native to the Mediterranean
Region; it has a long history
of medicinal and culinary

uses; it comes in several
varieties with different colors of leaves, flowers and
leaf types and sizes. The
kitchen sage is used in flavoring fatty meats, poultry
and stuffing.
Medicinal uses are for:
excessive sweating, antibiotic, anti-fungal, colds,
coughs, gingivitis, tonic,
diuretic and many others.
Sage may be toxic in large
doses. To conclude the program everyone was given
sage plants grown by Romine.
The Deputy’s response
for inspection was given as
very favorable.
The May meeting will be
preceded by a spaghetti dinner, open to all members.

Political ads stir Patz suspect’s mental
health care horror illness history could be key
Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar,
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) —
They’re throwing granny off
a cliff!
That’s the not-so-subtle
message Republicans and
Democrats appear to be converging on for political ads on
health care this year, featuring
heavy doses of what each party alleges the other one plans
to do to wreck Medicare.
From cost controls in President Barack Obama’s health
care law to GOP Rep. Paul
Ryan’s privatization plan for
future Medicare recipients,
there’s something about
health care that makes it a
breeding ground for the wildest allegations.
Families feel vulnerable to
the catastrophic costs of serious illness, and few understand the labyrinth of private
and government insurance,
allowing partisans to play to
their worst fears. Add to that
the belief among political pros
that health care worries can
drive the votes of seniors.
“It is easy to deceive on the
issue because the knowledge
base of the electorate when it
comes to the complexities of
health care is relatively low,”
said Kathleen Hall Jamieson,
an expert on political communication at the University
of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg
Center.
It would be hard to top
Sarah Palin’s now-debunked
assertion that “death panels” lurked in the recesses
of Obama’s law, but don’t be
surprised if that happens this
year.
“Many people believe crazy
things about health care because they want to believe
them,” said Drew Altman,
president of the nonpartisan
Kaiser Family Foundation.
Some of today’s outlandish
claims remind him of fears
about fluoridated drinking
water in the 1950s.
Sound far-fetched? It’s already started.
A few months ago, former
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum lent
credence to an unfounded rumor that the Obama administration would deny advanced
medical treatment to stroke
patients over the age of 70,

allowing only comfort care.
It didn’t seem to matter that
two doctors’ groups and the
Health and Human Services
Department were shooting
down the rumor.
And as for throwing granny
off a cliff, two political ads are
already depicting just that —
one from the left and one from
the right. Both dramatizations
are getting steady attention
on the Internet.
The ad from the left, by
The Agenda Project, features
an actress playing an elderly
woman in a wheelchair. Pushing her is a younger man acting the part of Ryan, R-Wis.
It looks like an outing to a
scenic overlook, but then he
steers for the edge of the cliff
as she tries to fight him off.
He thrusts her over the side
with “America the Beautiful”
playing in the background.
The caption urges viewers
to let Ryan know America
wouldn’t be beautiful without
Medicare.
The ad from the right, by
AmericanDoctors4Truth,
shows an elderly woman in a
wheelchair being pushed off a
cliff, this time by an actor representing Obama, after she
demands a pacemaker recommended by her doctor.
The ad takes things to another level by using a snippet
of Obama’s voice. It comes
from a rambling response the
president gave in 2009 to a
woman who wanted to know
how his health plan might affect patients like her mother,
who got a pacemaker at the
age of 100 and enjoyed a good
life.
A transcript of the town
hall-style meeting shows that
Obama didn’t directly answer
the question. At one point
he suggests if there’s waste
involved it would be better
to tell doctors and patients
“you know what, maybe this
isn’t going to help, maybe
you’re better off not having
the surgery, but taking the
painkiller.”
That snippet gets used in
the ad. Later in the 2009 appearance, Obama said that
maybe patients like the questioner’s mother should get a
pacemaker faster, if that helps
keep them healthy. “I mean,
this can cut both ways,” he
said. But those words aren’t

in the ad.
Jamieson, who directs a
fact-checking project, says
both ads are examples of
“deceptive dramatization.”
Ryan’s plan would not affect
people currently on Medicare,
she said. And the doctors’ ad
makes it sound as if Obama
is cutting current Medicare
spending, when his law merely slows the program’s future
growth. And it’s unrealistic to
suggest that either party believes it can afford to antagonize older voters.
Erica Payne, a former Democratic Party fundraiser who
founded the New York-based
Agenda Project, said she
stands by the Ryan ad. “It’s
dramatic, but it’s accurate,”
she said. Her organization is
a public policy and advocacy
group.
Ophthalmologist
Jane
Lindell Hughes, a founder of
Texas-based AmericanDoctors4Truth, defended the
Obama ad as a parody that
responds to Payne’s commercial. “It was absolutely a valid
use of the president’s voice,”
she said.
People targeted by health
care distortions say the attacks can accomplish two
things: turning an individual
into a pariah and shutting
down legitimate consideration of new ideas.
Pediatrician and health care
expert Don Berwick, Obama’s
first Medicare chief, said he
was never able to overcome
the label of “rationer in chief”
pinned on him by GOP critics of the health law, no matter how often he said he was
against rationing.
“When a myth gains traction … it creates a terrain of
silence,” said Berwick. “A
new kind of calculus is needed
here, in which people believe
engagement about the truth is
wise.”
Economist Douglas HoltzEakin was GOP presidential
candidate John McCain’s
policy chief in 2008 when the
campaign unveiled a plan for
a health insurance tax credit
financed by a limit on the taxfree status of employer health
insurance. It got pounded
even though the idea had
support from some prominent Democrats, and analysis
showed it could work.

Jennifer Peltz,
Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Pedro Hernandez has confessed
to killing the 6-year-old boy
at the heart of one of the nation’s most prominent missing-child cases, police say.
And he has schizophrenia
and a history of hallucinations, his lawyer says.
Court-appointed doctors
are still assessing Hernandez’s mental state, and it’s unclear how much it will factor
in the case charging him with
the 1979 murder of young
Etan Patz.
But if his psychiatric record becomes an issue, he’ll
encounter a justice system
that seeks to strike a balance
between recognizing mental
illness and holding people
responsible for their actions
— a balance that has shifted
back and forth over more
than a century and a half.
Hernandez, 51, remained
in a psychiatric hospital Tuesday as authorities continued
trying to flesh out his startling admission in a case that
galvanized the movement
to publicize the problem of
missing children. Meanwhile,
Etan’s father made clear that
the attention to the case since
Hernandez’s arrest last week
had taken a toll, telling reporters they had “managed
to make a difficult situation
even worse.”
“It is past time for you to
leave me, my family and my
neighbors alone,” Stan Patz
said in a note posted on his
apartment building’s door.
Police encountered Hernandez, who worked in a
nearby convenience store,
shortly after Etan vanished
on his way to school on May
25, 1979. But investigators
never considered Hernandez a suspect until a tipster
pointed them his way this
month, saying he had made
incriminating statements. He
responded with an emotional
and gruesome confession: He
said he strangled the boy, hid
his body in a bag and a box
and dumped it near some
trash, police said.
His statements launched
police and the Manhattan
district attorney’s office into
a complex process of building a 33-year-old case with,

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.

Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All

Letters should be in good taste, addressing
issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be
accepted for publication.

so far, no physical evidence.
And it has started the
courts on a parallel path
of exploring Hernandez’s
mental health. After defense
lawyer Harvey Fishbein told
a judge that Hernandez was
schizophrenic, bipolar, had
had visual and auditory hallucinations, and had been
on psychiatric medication
for some time, the judge ordered an examination to see
whether he was mentally fit
to stand trial.
The results aren’t yet
known, and the judge may ultimately hold a hearing to decide whether Hernandez can
go to trial. If not, he would be
sent to a psychiatric hospital
and evaluated periodically to
see whether he had improved
enough to go to court.
Such exams aim to assess
whether someone is well
enough to participate in a trial and aid his or her own defense. They are separate from
an insanity defense, which
revolves around the defendant’s psychological state at
the time of the alleged crime.
In New York and many
other states, defendants have
to prove they were so mentally ill that they didn’t know
what they were doing was
wrong. If successful, they are
sent to psychiatric hospitals
until judged well enough for
release, if ever.
Fishbein, who didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday,
hasn’t said whether he might
pursue an insanity defense. It
could be challenging to portray Hernandez’s mindset so
long ago, potentially involving digging up decades-old
medical records, tapping
friends’ and relatives’ memories of his behavior at the
time, or both.
“The closer you can bring
his mental health and treatment issues to the time of the
crime, the more plausible it
becomes that he was suffering from mental disorder at
the earlier time,” said Stephen J. Morse, a University
of Pennsylvania law and psychiatry professor who’s not
involved in the case.
Insanity defenses are venerable — they date to a case
in 1840s England — and all
but a handful of U.S. states allow them. But they are rare.
They are offered in less than

1 percent of felony cases nationwide and successful only
about 20 percent of the time,
according to Richard E. Redding, a professor at Orange,
Calif.-based Chapman University School of Law.
Among the hundreds of
thousands of criminal cases
closed in New York state each
year, an average of only about
40 end with either an insanity acquittal or both sides
agreeing on an insanity plea,
according to state statistics.
That statistic might not capture some insanity acquittals
that get reported simply as
acquittals.
Legal standards for insanity defenses nationwide
have loosened and tightened
at points over the decades,
with a significant tightening
after John Hinckley Jr. successfully offered an insanity
defense in the 1981 shooting
of President Ronald Reagan.
Many states stopped allowing insanity defenses for conduct people knew was wrong
but couldn’t control, among
other changes.
Instead of an insanity defense, Hernandez could invoke psychiatric problems to
say his confession wasn’t valid or voluntary, notes Bryan
Konoski, a New York criminal defense lawyer who has
worked on insanity defenses.
He isn’t involved in Hernandez’s case.
“One of the psychiatric issues you really have in this
case is whether his confession is a false confession,”
Konoski said.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly has said Hernandez gave specific details that
persuaded investigators his
confession was true. He also
told people long ago that he
had “done something bad”
and killed a child in New
York City, according to the
commissioner.
One of Hernandez’s sisters, Norma Hernandez, said
Tuesday that she went to
police in Camden, N.J., years
ago to report a rumor he had
confessed at a prayer group.
Camden police declined to
comment on her remarks.
Kelly said Tuesday that
detectives were speaking
to Hernandez’s siblings and
members of the prayer group
— and listening judiciously.

Tool-wielding
robots crawl in
bodies for surgery
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Imagine a tiny snake robot
crawling through your body,
helping a surgeon identify
diseases and perform operations.
It’s not science fiction.
Scientists and doctors are
using the creeping metallic
tools to perform surgery on
hearts, prostate cancer, and
other diseased organs. The
snakebots carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and
even more advanced sensors
are in the works. For now,
they’re powered by tethers
that humans control. But experts say the day is coming
when some robots will roam
the body on their own.
“It won’t be very long before we have robots that are
nanobots, meaning they will
actually be inside the body
without tethers,” said Dr.
Michael Argenziano, the
Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia
University Medical Center
in New York.
Argenziano was involved
with some of the first U.S.
Food and Drug Administration clinical trials on robotic
heart surgery more than
10 years ago. Now he says
snake robots have become
a commonly used tool that
gives surgeons a whole new
perspective.
“It’s like the ability to
have little hands inside the
patients, as if the surgeon
had been shrunken, and was
working on the heart valve,”
he said.
But Argenziano and experts in robotics say the new
creations work best when
they’re designed for very
specific tasks. “The robot is
a tool. It is no different in
that sense than a scalpel. It’s
really a master-slave device,”
he said.
Howie Choset has been
researching and building
robots, particularly snake
robots, at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University for
years.

I believe in,” Romney
told reporters before flying from California to
Colorado Monday evening. “But I need to get
50.1 percent or more. And
I’m appreciative to have
the help of a lot of good
people.”
Polling suggests that the
election between Romney
and Obama will be very
close, ultimately decided
by several swing states,
Colorado and Nevada
among them. Romney will
begin campaigning Tuesday in the northern Colorado town of Craig before
flying to Las Vegas for an
afternoon rally before the
Trump fundraiser.
The Texas primary offers 152 delegates; Romney is just 58 delegates
shy of the 1,144 needed
to become the nominee.
His Republican rivals
Rick Santorum and Newt
Gingrich already have
endorsed Romney, while
Texas Rep. Ron Paul has
stopped actively campaigning. Gingrich is
expected to attend the
Trump fundraiser.
Under similar circum-

stances last week, Romney swept all the delegates
in GOP primaries in Kentucky and Arkansas and
picked up more endorsements from party leaders.
But Romney’s meeting
with Trump may generate
as much interest, or more,
than his tightened grasp
on the Republican nomination.
“I do not understand the
cost benefit here,” conservative
commentator
George Will said over the
weekend. “The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious,
it seems to me.”
“Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if
your net worth is high
enough, your IQ can be
very low and you can still
intrude into American
politics,” Will continued.
“Again, I don’t understand
the benefit. What is Romney seeking?”
Trump revived the false
claims about Obama’s
birthplace late last week,
citing a discredited story
about a literary agency
that mistakenly listed that
Obama was born in Kenya.
While Romney briefly
addressed the issue Mon-

Choset believes that his
snake robot and others like
it help reduce medical costs
by making complex surgeries faster and easier. Choset
says his new design is smaller and more flexible than
earlier models: The diameter
of the head is less than the
size of a dime.
The size of surgical robots
allows surgeons to operate
with far less damage to the
body, helping the patient
heal faster. For example,
instead of opening the entire chest up during heart
surgery, a small incision is
made, and the robot crawls
inside to the proper spot.
Dr. Ashutosh Tewari of
Cornell University Medical Center has used robotic
tools to perform thousands
of prostate operations. He
said the precision of the tiny
robotic tool is vital not just
to cutting out cancerous tumors, but to seeing exactly
what nerves to leave intact.
Tewari said he’s most excited about the potential for
surgical robots to do things
humans can’t do. He said the
variety of sensors available
for surgical robots keeps
expanding, even as they get
smaller. He said they may
one day be able to test chemicals or blood in the body, or
even the electrical connections in nerves.
Argenziano noted that
robots aren’t a magic cure.
“The robot is good at certain
things and it’s not good at
other things,” he said. Some
studies have found that the
cost effectiveness of surgical robots varies greatly.
In smaller hospitals, the
high cost of purchasing and
maintaining a robot may not
make sense.
Choset has also built larger snake robots designed for
search and rescue, or just
exploration. They can climb
poles or trees and then look
around through a camera in
the head, and slither through
places humans can’t reach.

NATO kills senior
al-Qaida leader
KABUL, Afghanistan
(AP) — The U.S.-led
NATO force in Afghanistan killed al-Qaida’s second-highest leader in the
country in an airstrike in
eastern Kunar province,
the coalition said Tuesday.
Sakhr al-Taifi, also
known as Mushtaq and
Nasim, was responsible for
commanding foreign insurgents in Afghanistan and
directing attacks against
NATO and Afghan forces,
the alliance said. He frequently traveled between
Afghanistan and Pakistan,
carrying out commands
from senior al-Qaida leadership and ferrying in
weapons and fighters.
The airstrike that killed
al-Taifi and another al-Qaida militant took place Sunday in Kunar’s Watahpur
district, the coalition said.
A follow-on assessment of
the area determined that
no civilians were harmed,
it said.
The coalition declined
to reveal the name of alQaida’s top leader in Afghanistan “due to ongoing
operations and security
concerns.”
The U.S.-led invasion of
Afghanistan was carried
out because al-Qaida chief
Osama bin Laden used the
country as his base to plan
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks
in New York and Washington.
Most of al-Qaida’s senior
leaders are now believed
to be based in Pakistan,
where they fled following the U.S. invasion. The
terrorist organization is
believed to have only a

nominal presence in Afghanistan.
Many senior al-Qaida
commanders have died
in U.S. drone attacks in
Pakistan’s northwest tribal
region, and bin Laden was
killed by U.S. commandos
in the Pakistani town of
Abbottabad last May.
Bin Laden advised alQaida militants to leave
Pakistan’s North and
South Waziristan tribal
areas because of the threat
of drone attacks, according to letters seized from
the compound where he
was killed. The documents
were later released by the
U.S.
In one of the letters,
bin Laden recommended
they go to Afghanistan’s
Kunar province because
of “its rougher terrain; too
many mountains, rivers,
and trees that can accommodate hundreds of brothers without being spotted
by the enemy,” according
to the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point,
which published the documents.
Elsewhere in Pakistan,
two would-be suicide
bombers riding in a vehicle
packed with explosives in
eastern Nangarhar province were killed when the
vehicle exploded prematurely, said a local government official, Shakrulla.
Three others in the vehicle
were severely wounded.
The explosion occurred
on the main highway between Jalalabad city and
Torkham, a town on the
Pakistani border.

difficult, and then the money
would be gone and the county
left where it was to begin with.
Lantz stated that he would
like to see the increase in the
tax be temporary if it had to
go into effect.
“I will be watching every
penny of it, and would be
happy to lower it if we can,”
said Ihle.
Candidate
for
Meigs
County Commissioner Randy Smith asked where the
$75,000 which was transferred late in 2011 had been
spent.
The commissioners reassured Smith and those in
attendance that none of the
money had went for raises or
bonuses, but simply to pay the
bills which other wise would

not have been paid by the end
of the year.
Smith also asked about the
cost of housing prisoners and
the negotiation of the contracts for such housing. The
commissioners noted that the
contracts must all be approved
through their office, and that
the cost is fairly uniform from
one location to another.
Those in attendance for the
meeting were Commissioners
Anderson and Ihle, clerk Gloria Kloes, Horace Karr, Floyd
Cleland, Rhea Lantz, Daniel
Lantz, Randy Smith and Jane
Ihle.
Action on the increases
could be taken as early as this
Thursday’s Meigs County
Commissioner meeting. The
weekly meeting will be held
at 1 p.m. on Thursday at the
Courthouse.

day, his senior aide Eric
Fehrnstrom also declined
to condemn Trump’s remarks in a recent interview.
“I can’t speak for Donald
Trump … but I can tell you
that Mitt Romney accepts
that President Obama
was born in the United
States,” Fehrnstrom said.
“He doesn’t view the place
of his birth as an issue in
this campaign.”
Romney has been criticized on several occasions
for failing to speak out
against extreme rhetoric
from his party. The reluctance stands in contrast to
the 2008 GOP presidential nominee and current
Romney supporter, Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz.,
who once corrected a supporter who called Obama
a Muslim.
And
on
Tuesday,
Obama’s re-election campaign surfaced a new television commercial directly
accusing Romney of failing to stand up to “the
voices of extremism” in
his party.
The ad takes the former
Massachusetts governor
to task for failing to speak
out against real estate

mogul Donald Trump, a
supporter who has consistently charged that Obama
is not a U.S. citizen. It
opens by showing 2008
nominee John McCain
brushing aside a woman
who raised the citizenship
issue at a town hall-style
meeting, and the commercial asks the viewer, “Why
won’t Mitt Romney do the
same?”
Campaigning in Cleveland earlier in the month,
Romney did not initially
respond to a supporter who suggested that
Obama should be tried for Kody Wolfe of Southern High School
treason. He said after the
rally that he didn’t agree.
He was also slow to
condemn conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh,
who said a college student
defending Obama’s contraception policy was “a
slut.” At the time, Romney
Thursday, June
initially declined to weigh
in on the issue before saying “it’s not the language”
he would have used.
And he was initially silent on violent rhetoric
from classic rocker Ted
Nugent before a spokeswoman said Romney “believes everyone needs to
be civil.”

At the conference a college fair allowed the students to become familiar

Masters champion Bubba Watson is no longer MIA
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) —
Bubba Watson had a 3-iron,
a small audience and a point
to prove.
The flag was 251 yards
away, with a light wind out
of the right. With an open
stance, he hit a high cut
and begged it to carry the
bunker, which it barely did.
Next, he aimed some 15
yards to the left of the green
and hit a bullet with a slight
hook that landed on the
back corner of the green.
“Still got it!” Watson jokingly proclaimed.

He hasn’t forgotten how
to play. He hasn’t been gone
from the game that long,
though it sure seems that
way.
It has been just more than
seven weeks since Watson
hit that wild hook with a
wedge out of the Georgia
pines and onto the 10th
green to win the Masters
in a playoff. He became
an overnight sensation in
a green jacket, and then
he virtually disappeared
from the golf scene. He has
played only one tournament

since, in New Orleans, and
only because he was the defending champion.
The reminder of how
long Watson has stayed
away from golf came on the
practice range Tuesday at
Muirfield Village. With the
U.S. Open only two weeks
away, players were still congratulating him on winning
the last major two months
ago.
That’s not necessarily a
bad thing.
Winning majors can be
a life-changing experience

for everyone except those
who seem to win them all
the time. Few, however,
had this many life-changing
moments away from golf
as Watson in such a short
time.
He and his wife, Angie,
adopted a baby boy just
two weeks before he became a Masters champion.
The adoption process is
still not finished, though a
few months doesn’t seem
like much considering they
began thinking about adoption four years ago. Watson

is selling two houses and
trying to find a home in Orlando, Fla. (The baby was
born in Florida.)
And if that’s not enough,
he has organized “Bubba
Bash” on Tuesday night
with some 10 Christian
bands to raise money for
a hospital in Kenya. Typical of a guy named Bubba,
he has arranged for Waffle
House to provide the backstage meals.
“A lot of stuff going on in
our life,” Watson said. “A
lot of positive things, noth-

ing bad. But it’s just different changes.”
Perhaps it shouldn’t be
surprising that Watson replied to a fan on Twitter
on Friday during The Players Championship that he’s
“not missing golf at all.”
“You can turn your phone
off or lock down yourself at
Isleworth and nobody can
get to you, and just spend
time with the family, play
golf when I want to,” Watson said. “It’s been a good
thing. It’s been relaxing, reSee MASTERS ‌| 10

Bobcats hope draft
lottery answers a
cry for help
NEW YORK (AP) — After the worst season in NBA
history, the Charlotte Bobcats could use a player such
as Anthony Davis.
Unfortunately for Michael
Jordan’s team, it’s been a
long time since lottery luck
shined on the team needing
it most.
The Bobcats hope that
trend ends Wednesday,
when they have the best
odds of earning the No. 1
pick in next month’s draft.
Charlotte has a 25 percent chance of victory, the
reward for its 7-59 record
that was the lowest winning
percentage (.106) in league
history. Davis is the college
player of the year after leading Kentucky to the national
championship. He is considered the top prize available.
Not since 2004, when
the Orlando Magic drafted
Dwight Howard, has the
team with the worst record
won the lottery. Minnesota
dropped a spot to second
last year, when the Cleveland Cavaliers moved up
with a pick owed to them
by the Los Angeles Clippers
and took Rookie of the Year
Kyrie Irving.
The
Bobcats,
who
dropped their final 23
games, appear in much
more dire straits than some
teams that were able to recover from their lottery letdowns.
“You could make the case
that they don’t have, at any
position, a top-15 player at
their position. So they’re
not in the top half of starters
at any place on their roster,
which is a tough place to be
and that’s why a guy like Anthony Davis, if they do draft
him, he’s going to be expect-

ed to turn it around. But
there are no quick fixes,”
former NBA coach and current ESPN analyst Jeff Van
Gundy said Tuesday during
a conference call.
The Washington Wizards
have a 19.9 percent chance
of picking first, while Cleveland (13.8 percent) and
New Orleans (13.7) have
the next-best chances.
The lottery is back in New
York for the first time since
1993, moving to the Disney/
ABC Times Square Studio
from its longtime home in
Secaucus, N.J. because the
NBA Entertainment facility there no longer houses a
television studio.
Maybe that’s a good omen
for the Nets, who are also
going from New Jersey to
New York. The now Brooklyn Nets have a 7.5 percent
chance of moving up from
the No. 6 spot to land the
top pick, and if they don’t
end up in the top three their
selection goes to Portland
as part of this season’s Gerald Wallace trade.
The Nets are one of the
recent teams that came up
empty after a dismal season,
settling for the No. 3 pick
two years ago after a 70-loss
season. Though there are
occasional complaints about
the format, NBA Commissioner David Stern has said
there’s been little call to
change it.
Van Gundy, like many,
thinks it’s a way to police
teams from trying to lose in
hopes of securing the No.
1 pick and even argued for
dropping the weighted system that gives the Bobcats
250 out of 1,000 chances,
taking away even more inSee BOBCATS ‌| 10

Point Pleasant baseball coach James Higginbotham, third from right, talks with his infield during a meeting on the mound
in the seventh inning of the Big Blacks’ 6-3 victory over Magnolia in the Class AA Region 1 championship game last week in
Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Point looking to finish on a good note
Bryan Walters

bwalters@mydailytribune.com

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — And so,
it all comes down to this.
As Point Pleasant prepares for
its shift to Class AAA this upcoming fall, the baseball program finds
itself in a very familiar place for one
final time — playing for a Class AA
championship at Appalachian Power
Park in the final weekend of the high
school sports season.
The Big Blacks (25-7) enter their
final weekend as a member of the
Class AA ranks with one simple goal
— win two games and one illustrious title that has eluded this program both over the years and most
of this school year.
“We often talk to the kids about
how football is the only sport you
can go out with a win in and not win
a state title. Of course, we get to the
state final this fall and lose,” PPHS
coach James Higginbotham said
after its 6-3 win over Magnolia last
week in the regional final. “We’ve
had a lot of near-misses. Football
gets to the finals this year, boys
basketball reached the state quarterfinals and the boys track team
finished second at the state meet
recently. Wrestling has had success,
but they are the only ones that seem

to have any luck at winning a state
title as a team.
“This will be our fifth trip to state
in six years and we’ve twice played in
the state final, only to come up short
in the end both times. We, particularly the players that have been here
before, want to change all of that this
weekend. We want to leave Class AA
on a good note and we know it will
take a lot of hard work and good fortunes to make that happen.”
The Big Blacks finished as state
runners-up in baseball both in 2008
and 2009, suffering losses to eventual champions Logan (13-3) and
Lincoln County (6-2) in those respective championship contests.
PPHS also lost semifinal contests to
Grafton (3-2) in 2007 and Braxton
County (9-6) in 2010.
Point’s previous appearance at the
state baseball tournament before the
2007 campaign was 1972. Also, the
last three teams to eliminate PPHS
in the state tournament have gone
on to win the Class AA crown.
Point Pleasant — which has won
12 of its last 14 contests — will face
a familiar foe in the second AA semifinal Friday when it battles Herbert
Hoover (26-8) at approximately
12:45 p.m. The first AA semifinal at
10 a.m. features Wyoming East (275) and Liberty Harrison (10-21),

with the winners advancing to Saturday’s finale.
The Big Blacks have had the Huskies’ number so far this spring, as
Point claimed a 13-4 home win on
April 24 and a 4-1 decision at HHHS
back on May 1. In fact, only two instate teams at the Class AA level has
managed a to score a win over Point
Pleasant this season — Chapmanville posted a 10-6 win over the Cardinal Conference champions back on
March 31 and Wayne earned a 10-8
decision back on April 16.
Point’s other five losses this season are to Wahama twice (3-0 and
14-9), Charleston Catholic (5-1) and
Buffalo (3-1), as well as a 6-4 setback
to Westfield (Va.) at the Mingo Bay
Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The
Big Blacks have twice owned sixgame winning streaks this year and
are currently riding a three-game
win streak headed into the weekend.
Point Pleasant has outscored opponents this spring by a 316-145
margin, and 10 of its 25 wins have
been by 10-or-more runs. The Big
Blacks have also scored at least once
in every game this season, with the
exception of a 3-0 setback to Wahama in the third game of the regular
season.
The Huskies enter Friday with an

was a football decision made with the
blessing of owner Stephen Ross.
“Our owner supported this decision
but in no way, shape or form forced
us to make the decision,” Philbin said
in South Florida following an offseason practice Tuesday. “It’s a chance

to show the new direction and identity of this football team, where we’re
headed, and at the same time connect
with our past, the great tradition and
heritage we have here in Miami.”
This season marks the 40th anniversary of the Dolphins’ undefeated
championship squad — the last NFL
club to win the Super Bowl with a perfect record. Miami’s most recent title
came a year later, in 1974.
“Hard Knocks” was not produced
last year because of the NFL lockout.
In 2010, the Dolphins’ AFC East rivals, the New York Jets, were the subject of the show, making coach Rex
Ryan a reality star.
“It’s a great opportunity to connect
with our fans, for the people who aren’t
going to be able to come out here daily

in 110-degree heat index weather and
watch our guys participate in training
camp,” Philbin said.
This is the first time “Hard Knocks”
will feature a rookie head coach. Philbin was the Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator the past five years,
tutoring Aaron Rodgers and winning
a Super Bowl. Philbin has a heartwrenching back story — his 21-yearold son drowned just before the longtime NFL assistant took the Dolphins
job.
Miami will likely have a highly drafted rookie quarterback competing for
playing time. Ryan Tannehill was the
eighth pick overall, joining a franchise
desperate for QB stability since Dan
Marino retired.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
for
Wednesday, May 30, 2012:
This year you become more active
than in many years. If you have an
ounce of creativity, it will manifest
itself without effort. If you are single,
that creativity could double, allowing a
romantic bond to form that reflects your
energy and needs. Married folk will
rediscover the fun that exists between
two people in love. Your biggest issue
will be power plays and control games.
You will not win, so don’t play. LIBRA
always knows what to say and do.
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)
HHHH Defer to others whenever
you can, especially if you find that
too much is going on in too many
places. Unexpected events and reactions could run riot through your plans.
You’ll walk into a situation where you
have the opportunity to demonstrate
your abilities and management skills.
Tonight: Decide if you want to go out
first.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Your even pace and
straight responses define the Bull.
Your nerves are slightly fried, so your
reactions could take on a new dimension. Not only are you capable of
shocking yourself, but also others.
Tonight: Get some rest. Ask for a foot
massage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You could be unusually
playful, though your humor could be
lost on others in a meeting and at other
points throughout the day. You could
come off a lot harsher than you realize. Be careful with a difficult partner
or friend. Tonight: Paint the town red.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You come from a very solid
and stoic place, but your fuse is a lot
shorter than you realize. A partner
might be controlling. By now, you know
how to deal with it. Let it roll over you
like water. Don’t push yourself so hard.
Tonight: At home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Not that you need help
getting energized, but there is a lot
going on. A child or new love interest
could trigger changes and feelings
you never expected. Reorganize your
plans accordingly. You might not be
sure what to do. Be careful if you are
spending a lot. Tonight: Hang out with
a pal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHH Tune into yourself more
often and question what is going on
within. You could be very tired because
of a certain situation. Instead of using
sarcasm, claim your power and act on
it. Handle whatever is ailing you. If you
need suggestions, look to a trusted
pal. Tonight: Your treat.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You are all personality, and
you can make your way through any
problematic situation. News, whether it
is factual or not, could trigger all sorts
of reactions. Do not lose your temper
unnecessarily. Work with a difficult
associate. Tonight: Whatever makes
you smile.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Be careful when interacting
with others. What you think is OK
and what you believe should be OK
could end up backfiring. Be ready to
adjust and find a different path. Your
versatility will come into play. Remain
positive and optimistic. Tonight: Not to
be found.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Zero in on what you feel
is significant. You could be unusually tired, as you attempt to deal with
an unpredictable friend or loved one.
Remember to keep your eye on the
big picture. You might need to bypass
someone you look up to. Tonight:
Where you friends are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH At the last minute, it seems
that others need you to do various
jobs for them. Walk in someone else’s
shoes before you decide to toss it all
in his or her face. You seem more and
more unpredictable. Tonight: In the
limelight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Pull back if you become
triggered, but still honor a long-term
desire. You have pushed far beyond
the norm to work with someone.
Remain calm if a situation blows up
in your face. Flex with unpredictability. Tonight: Take off to see a favorite
person.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH A partner appreciates
your extra attention. Sometimes you
wonder why you do what you do.
Despite sarcasm and pressure, the
bond between the two of you is warm.
A friendship seems to be changing
as your desires change, too. Tonight:
Make it intimate.

program will be holding
its third annual Blue Devil
Golf Shootout on Sunday,
June 24, at Cliffside Golf
Club in the heart of the Old
French City. There will be

a nine-hole scramble and a
nine-hole Florida scramble,
and the event will feature a
shotgun start time of 1:30
p.m. There is a fee for the
event — both for Cliffside
members and non-members
— and there will also be a
golfer lottery at 1:15 p.m. All
teams will be divided into
three-man groups, with a
fourth member coming from
a blind draw. That lottery
pick will be either a current
or former GAHS golfer. All
proceeds from the tournament goes toward facilitating the needs of the Gallia
Academy golf team. You
may register at Cliffside Golf
Club or by contacting GAHS
coach Corey Luce at either

eight-game winning streak,
which ironically began after
PPHS handed them a 4-1
loss at home back on April
16. HHHS has outscored
opponents 68-31 during
that winning streak and also
has nine wins by 10-or-more
runs this year.
Hoover has five guys hit-

ting over .350 for the season, led by Corey Bird with
a .491 average and 30 RBIs.
Zach Wright is hitting .407
with 32 RBIs, while Zach
Mullins is batting .397 with
team-bests of seven homers and 42 RBIs. Tristan
Fields is batting .375 with
three homers and 30 RBIs,
followed by Cody Bowen
with a .356 average. Hunter

White has also driven in 30
RBIs for the Huskies.
Wyoming East owns a
six-game winning streak
headed into Friday’s matchup with Liberty Harrison,
which currently owns only
its second two-game winning streak of the season.
Both two-game streaks have
also come in the postseason.

goes to what most people in
the NBA would do, but it’s
by design.”
The Cavaliers are hoping
lightning strikes twice.
Last year, owner Dan Gilbert’s 15-year-old son, Nick,
proved to be a lucky charm
when he represented the team
at the drawing in New Jersey.
The young Gilbert, wearing
hipster glasses and a bow tie,
endeared himself to Cleveland
fans after the team won the
lottery by looking into the
camera and saying, “What’s
not to like?” a catchphrase that
helped the city get over the
loss of LeBron James.
The Cavs are sending Nick
again along with the same
traveling party that brought
the team luck a year ago.
His dad recently joked that

his son better bring home a
winner.
“If he doesn’t get the first
pick, he will be grounded all
summer,” Gilbert joked. “This
is a very important draft for
us. We hope to add some key
pieces this summer.”
Irving also will attend the
lottery along with the Gilberts,
former Browns quarterback
Bernie Kosar and current
Browns players Josh Cribbs
and Joe Haden.
General manager Rich Cho
will be on stage for the Bobcats, whose odds are best (35.8
percent) of picking fourth. The
lottery sets the top three picks,
with the remainder of the 14
participants drafting in inverse
order of their records.
The draft is June 28 in Newark, N.J.

golf, and the trick is to stay
fresh for the most important stretches. No one has
mastered that better than
Woods over the years.
Just more than two weeks
ago, Watson tweeted that
he didn’t miss golf. So he
might be rusty now, but
at least he’s ready to play.
The Memorial is the start
of three tournaments in the
next month, ending with
the Travelers Championship, where he won his first
PGA Tour event.
“I got energized as soon
as I got here … looking
forward to the challenge of
being out here and beating
some of the great players,”
he said. “That’s what I’ve
been missing. I miss the
game of golf, miss playing,
miss competing, miss trying for championships.”
Watson will say he’s
doesn’t play golf for the attention, but there is a part
of him craving just that. He
is a showman at heart, and
he has a lot to show.
Henrik Stenson stopped
on the practice range to
watch Watson hit a selection of hooks and slices toward the green with a short

iron, all of them landing
near the flag regardless of
the flight of the ball.
“Let’s see you hit one
straight at the flag,” Stenson said.
Watson took dead aim
and the shot covered the
flag. He whooped it up and
turned to look at Stenson,
who already had walked off
and was 20 yards down the
range.
“He didn’t even watch because he knew I was going
to do it,” Watson said in full
banter mode.
These are the kind of
shots that represent “Bubba
golf.” Watson even talked
about having his own “Bubba School of Golf,” which
would be different from just
about any other golf school
on the planet. It would consist of a building where he
could invite customers to
“hit balls and just practice.”
“That’s all I’d tell them,”
he said. “And then I’d ask
for my money.”
He grinned in such a
way that it was hard to
tell if he was joking. That
much about Watson hasn’t
changed, and probably
won’t.

centive to lose. Though he
said the team played hard,
he used the word “tanking”
Tuesday, essentially accusing Jordan’s organization of
not trying to win this season.
“They have, I think, a very
poor roster by design,” he
said. “I think they are trying
to do what most people in
the front office would agree
with how they’re doing it.
Get bad to try to get good.
People have done it before.
San Antonio Spurs, I think
it was 18 wins when David
Robinson was hurt and they
got Tim Duncan (in 1997)
and for 15 years they’ve
been just phenomenal. So
what they’re doing I think

warding. It’s been fun.”
The Memorial boasts a
strong field, as usual, with
defending champion Steve
Stricker, Tiger Woods, Phil
Mickelson, Rory McIlroy
and Hunter Mahan leading the list of top players.
Dustin Johnson returns
from a back injury, his first
tournament since Doral the
second week of March.
Watson adds another
layer of intrigue, mainly
because he is a major champion who has accumulated
more rust than riches in the
last two months.
His agent, Jens Beck,
said interest in Watson has
been unrelenting since the
Masters: offers for endorsements and too many interview requests.
“For us, it hasn’t stopped,”
Beck said. “For him, the biggest change in his life has
been with the baby. I don’t
think people truly get that.
It was a huge life change for
him.”
Watson still faces a long
year with three more majors, the FedEx Cup playoffs
and the Ryder Cup. The season has become longer in
