Stolen firearms
recovered by
sheriff ’s deputies

GALLIPOLIS — Property reported stolen following a
break-in at a Gallia County residence on Wednesday was
recovered by Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputies on Thursday
evening at a home in Gallipolis.
According to the police report, the 10 firearms were reported missing by the victim on August 22 from a home in
Gallia County, along with several boxes of ammunition, a
sharpening stone and four knives.
Reportedly, following an investigation, deputies received
information that the stolen goods could be located at a residence located on Mill Creek Road within the City of Gallipolis.
Officers with the Gallipolis Police Department were dispatched to the residence and, after receiving permission to
search the home, assisted deputies in the search — locating
the 10 rifles in the cellar of the residence.
Deputies located the knifes and other items inside the
home.
The property was transported to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, where it was positively identified by the victim
in this case and later returned to the victim.
No individuals were arrested in connection with this
case, and the names of the possible suspects or suspect
have not been released.
According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, charges are pending consultation with the Gallia County Prosecutor’s Office.
Gallia meth lab discovery
marks third this month
Amber Gillenwater
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com
KANAUGA — An anonymous citizen complaint led
to the discovery of a methamphetamine lab on Wednesday
— the third lab discovered in
Gallia County this month.
The lab was discovered
and later neutralized by a
Gallia County Sheriff’s Office meth lab technician, with
the assistance of a meth lab
technician of the Middleport Police Department, at a
residence located on Burnett
Road in the Kanauga area of
Gallipolis Township.
Reportedly, a deputy arrived at the residence at approximately 7:30 p.m. on
August 22, and, after being
given consent to search the
residence, discovered an active “one pot/shake and bake”
meth lab inside the home,
along with paraphernalia indicating that the illegal drugs
had been manufactured and
used within the residence.
The home was cleared,
and the Gallipolis Fire Department was dispatched to
standby at the residence during the cleaning of the lab.
Following the neutralization of the hazardous materials, the remnants of the “one
pot” lab were properly disposed of by the officers.
The names of the suspects
in this case have not been released, and no arrests have
yet been made.
Charges, including the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, are pending
consultation with the Gallia
County Prosecutor’s Office
and positive lab results of the
illegal drugs from the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.
According to the police report, the manufacturing was
occurring at the home in the
presence of two juveniles,
ages eight and nine years.
The illegal manufacture of
methamphetamine is generally classified in the Ohio justice system as a felony of the
second degree, but is elevated
to a first degree felony when
it is manufactured in the presence of juveniles or within
the vicinity of a school.
A previous meth lab was
neutralized by sheriff’s office
deputies on Saturday, August
19 after the “one pot” lab was
found in a duffel bag next to
Johnson’s Ridge Road in Addison Township.
As of press time, no arrests
have been made in connection with the discovery of
this lab.
In a third unrelated case,
three individuals were arrested following the discovery of
a meth lab at their residence
on August 15.
Travis Klein, 23, Lisa J.
Klein, 43, and Ashley L.
Hamilton, 28, all of 908
Story’s Run Road, Cheshire
Township, have been charged
in the Gallipolis Municipal
Court with the illegal manufacture of drugs.
Cases against all three of
the defendants are expected
to be bound over to the Common Pleas Court of Gallia
County where a grand jury
with hear charges against the
suspects.
To report suspicious behavior related to the possible
illegal manufacture of drugs,
contact the Gallia County
Sheriff’s Office tip-line at
(740) 446-6555 to leave an
anonymous tip.

GALLIPOLIS — A weekend Gospel event brought
blessings to those in attendance in the form of song
and testimony. The 23rd Annual Gallia County Gospel
Sing was held Friday and Saturday at the Gallia County
Junior Fairgrounds.
The event was held from 5 p.m. to midnight both
evenings. Singers from as close as Gallia County and
as far as neighboring states participated in the event,
with 20-25 gospel groups and soloists taking part.
Audience members came from all over the Ohio Valley — including Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties —
with lawn chairs in tow. The event was free to those
who came to listen. Sandwiches, bean soup and homemade desserts were available at the concession stand.
Soloist Terry McKinniss took the time on Friday
evening to praise God — and thank the local community — for healing and supporting him and his family
during his battle with cancer.
“I have boys — strapping, eat-everything-in-front-ofthem boys — and this community fed those boys when
I was sick,” said McKinniss. “And those same communities held fundraisers to assist my family financially
during that time.
“There were 100-200 churches taking part in comStephanie Filson | OVP Group munity prayer for this one body,” added a grateful

How do I adjust to his dramatic personality? — R.G.
Dear R.G.: No one ever said that
couples have to be on the same emotional plane, but I can see how it
might help in a long-term relationship.
If you’ve ruled out worrying about his
stability and haven’t encountered a
mood that seems out-of-control, mean
or violence-prone, that’s a good thing.
As you get to know him even better,
you should be careful to watch out for
red flags that might indicate that he is
suffering from a mental disorder. Of
course, there are people who simply
feel things very deeply and respond on
an emotional level to just about everything. That sounds like what you are
encountering when you spend time
with your guy.
If his volatile and emotional personality leaves you feeling exhausted
and overwhelmed, it would be a good
idea to talk to him about your differences. He may even try to draw you
out a bit. In the meantime, let him
know that you don’t want to squelch
his feelings in any way, but you might
point out to him when he is going a bit
overboard or when he needs to look at
something through more logical eyes.
Don’t expect a sea-change, though. If
you really connect despite your differences, just put on your safety belt and
enjoy the ride.

Court upholds block on
graphic cigarette warnings
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The federal government can’t
require tobacco companies to put large graphic health warnings on cigarette packages to show that smoking can disfigure and even kill people, a divided federal appeals court
panel ruled Friday.
In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington
affirmed a lower court ruling that the requirement ran afoul
of the First Amendment’s free speech protections. The appeals court tossed out the requirement and told the Food and
Drug Administration to go back to the drawing board. The
decision is considered a blow to one of the Obama administration’s major public health initiatives, raises the prospect
of another U.S. Supreme Court tobacco battle and opens the
door to further challenges of FDA’s regulatory scheme.
Some of the nation’s largest tobacco companies, including
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., sued to block the mandate to
include warnings to show the dangers of smoking and encouraging smokers to quit lighting up. They argued that the
proposed warnings went beyond factual information into
anti-smoking advocacy.

Letters to The Editor:
Reader impressed
with man’s integrity
Dear Editor,
Each day we are bombarded with stories
about people treating other people badly,
but my story is just the opposite. Mason,
W.Va. resident John T. Kearns, Jr. is someone who went out of his way to treat others
well.
Last weekend, he found some of the contents of a wallet along the road, including
cash, gift cards and a check with my name
on it. These valuables had been blown out
of an open convertible driving along the
road. Rather than keeping them for himself, Mr. Kearns used the phone number on
my check to contact me and explain what
he had found. He insisted that he mail the
valuables to me, and they arrived in today’s
mail.
I appreciate Mr. Kearns’ honesty, his willingness to do the right thing when he could
easily have kept them for himself, and the
example he has set for the rest of us.
Sincerely,
Christine Rice Koenig

Vice President Biden’s
history mix-up
Dear Editor,
Vice President Biden in a speech recently
got his history mixed up about the Republicans putting the blacks in chains. The Dems
were the ones that put them in slavery for
about 200 years. Republican Abraham Lincoln stated it was wrong to be one-half
free and one-half slavery and fought a war
to free the blacks. Approximately 600,000
Union soldiers lost their lives to free them,
and 400,000 Rebels lost their lives to keep
them in slavery. After the war, about eight
or nine southern states kept the blacks in
slavery about another 100 years. Remember, the solid south? Now, they have a twoparty system, and the blacks are no longer
in chains, thanks to Abe Lincoln and the
Republican party.

Legalization of
marijuana would
turn economy around
Dear Editor,
Let me be frank … Until we legalize our
largest agricultural cash crop, marijuana, our
economy will contiue to be sluggish, at best.
We cannot expect our economy to prosper as long as we keep the biggest agricultural commodity America has ever known
illegal. It’s not going to happen, folks.
On the other hand, if we legalize marijuana, our economy will go right through the
roof … off the charts! Marijuana is huge, already developed, already in place, all ready
to go in all 50 states.
Legalize marijuana — recession is over,
immediately and permanently. We need legal weed!

Democrat and Republican
hummingbirds?
Dear Editor,
It is twenty to eight and my Democrat and
Republican hummingbirds are still trying to
get enough to eat before they go to roost
for the night. I know one is a Democrat and
the other a Republican because they both
want exactly the same thing. When one
hummingbird lands to drink the sweet water and the other sees him, he chases the
other away. If he lands on the opposite side
where he can’t be seen by the other, they
both drink together. If one notices that the
other is getting some of the sweet water,
they both fly away fighting.
This is exactly what the Democrats and
the Republicans are doing. They both want
peace and a prosperous America but they
continue to fight each other like the hummingbirds because they do not understand
that money is a public utility and must be
intelligently managed.

Summer of 2012
should illustrate climate
change reality
Dear Editor,
This summer of 2012 should be sufficient
evidence to persuade skeptics that climate
change is a reality. Literally thousands of
heat records were broken in our country
alone.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration notes that the spring of
2012 “marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States.”
As Leonardo da Vinci observed, Nature
doesn’t break her own laws. Unfortunately,
human beings do — with droughts, wildfires and other grief as consequences.

Growth, not gifts: A
solution to student loans
Dr. Joseph J. Horton
President Obama has been arguing for
a number of plans to reduce the burden of
student loans such as artificially low interest rates and allowing for some loans
to be discharged through bankruptcy.
Many young adults are struggling with
student loan debt. The president’s solutions may temporarily help some, but it
will help neither students nor the country in the long run.
I have personal experience with the
challenges of student loans as I finished
grad school with significant loans. Borrowing for college should not be taken
lightly. In my role as an academic advisor, my students often talk with me about
student loans when they are considering
graduate school. Considering debt before jumping into things is prudent.
I tell my students that student loans
are like power tools. With a nail gun you
can shingle your roof more efficiently, or
you can nail your hand to the roof. So
often when discussing student loans,
we hear about the people who seem to
have nailed a hand and both feet to the
roof—$100,000 borrowed for a bachelor’s degree in women’s studies? Where
were the parents? There is no bachelor’s
degree from any school that is worth that
kind of debt.
Most students do not graduate from
college with a six-figure debt. The typical student has just over $25,000. Is a
typical level of debt a good investment?
Most people focus on earning potential.
Earning potential is important. Without
a good salary, paying off debt is challenging at best.
Another consideration, however, is
whether the loans allow for an enjoyable career. When I finished my Ph.D.,
my student loan debt was a bit higher
than my starting salary. The debt definitely cramped our style. The upside was
that I had a job I loved. I was happy to
get up for work every day. I had the joy
of doing just what God called me to do
and was probably a better husband and
father as a result. From a purely financial
perspective the student loans might or
might not have been a good investment.
From a life satisfaction perspective they
were well worth it!
We did make sacrifices. In addition
to controlling our spending, I did extra
work when I could get it. Sometimes this
meant teaching a class during the Janu-
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.
ary intersession between semesters. For
two summers I worked weekends at the
local pool. I had supervisor in my title,
but among my tasks was scrubbing toilets. Yes, as a Ph.D., I scrubbed toilets
to help make ends meet. Now, with my
loans paid off, I no longer professionally
clean toilets, but no honest work is beneath me just because I spent a long time
in school.
The challenge for today’s graduates
is finding well-paying, honest work.
With the economy in shambles it is hard
enough to get a full-time job, let alone
some extra work to help pay off student
loans more quickly. In addition to the
poor job market, the Federal Reserve is
keeping interest rates artificially low.
This makes it harder for colleges to invest prudently and generate money for
scholarships. Yes, low interest rates
make student loan payments smaller, but
scholarships do not have to be repaid.
Allowing young adults to discharge
loans through bankruptcy would remove
weights from their backs. However that
bankruptcy will follow them for years.
Therefore financial goals such as buying a home will not be made easier by
bankruptcy. Furthermore, if student
loans become easy to discharge through
bankruptcy, fewer students in the future
will be able to borrow money for college.
They will have the choice of whether or
not to use the power tool of debt taken
from them. Students from poor families
with parents who cannot cosign loans
would be hardest hit as they would not
be able to invest in themselves to create
economic opportunity.
There is a solution to the student loan
problem for typical borrowers—economic growth. As young adults and those
who love them consider the presidential
race, I hope they will consider that a low
interest rate on student loans is not helpful when people cannot find good jobs.
People who borrowed prudently do not
need wealth redistributed to them. We
need leaders who will create conditions
in which graduates can get good jobs and
have the satisfaction of using their God
given talents. People go to college to
make something better of themselves. A
thriving economy will let people accomplish their goals and pay off their loans.

City College and a researcher with The Center for Vision
& Values.

DENVER (AP) — Newly filed court
records allege that the man accused of
opening fire on an Aurora movie theater told a classmate he wanted to kill
people four months before the shooting.
Prosecutors made the allegation in
a motion released Friday seeking access to James Holmes’ records from
the University of Colorado Denver’s
neuroscience graduate program.
Holmes “had conversations with a
classmate about wanting to kill people
in March, 2012, and that he would do
so when his life was over,” attorneys
for the state wrote.
Prosecutors said Holmes left the
program in June after also making
unspecified threats to a professor that
month and failing his year-end final.
Holmes’ attorneys argue that prosecutors should have no access to his
student records. The papers they filed
in response to prosecutors do not address the allegations of threats.
Holmes is charged with killing 12
and wounding 58 during the July 20
attack on a midnight showing of “The
Dark Knight Rises.”
Holmes’ defense lawyer, Daniel
King, has said Holmes is mentally ill,
setting up a possible insanity defense.
But arguments at a hearing Thursday by Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Pearson revealed a possible motive: Holmes’ anger that he was failing
at school, “at the same time he’s buying an enormous amount of ammunition, body armor and explosives.”
A gag order has been issued in the
case. Prosecutors argued that gaining
access to the school records would
establish a motive by showing what
Holmes hoped to accomplish at CU
and the “dissatisfaction with what occurred in his life that led to this.”
They also want to see records from
campus police and a campus threat
evaluation team similar to those established across the country after the 2007
Virginia Tech University shootings.
Ohio man’s beating by bored teens sparks two rallies
NORTH
COLLEGE
HILL, Ohio (AP) — The
brutal beating of a man by
a group of young teenagers
who said they did it because
they were bored has shaken the Cincinnati suburb
of North College Hill and
drawn unwanted attention
in the form of a group of selfdescribed white separatists.
Five members of the National Alliance, considered
by the Southern Poverty
Law Center to be a neo-Nazi
group, held a “solidarity” rally on a main thoroughfare of
the small, quiet, blue-collar
community two weeks after
the beating on Friday, caus-
ing traffic jams and drawing
dozens of counter-protesters
who derided the small group
and yelled at them to get out
of their city.
“Go away! Take your
hate and leave!” screamed
Audrey Able, a 37-year-old
mother of four who has
lived in the city for about
19 years. “That would make
people in this little community of North College Hill
very happy.”
On Aug. 11, six black teenagers attacked and beat Pat
Mahaney, who is white, as
the 45-year-old was returning home with a six-pack of
beer, North College Hill Po-
lice Chief Gary Foust said.
Mahaney was attacked
from behind and had done
nothing to provoke it, Foust
said, adding that police consider the attack a random
act by the group of 13- and
14-year-olds, who said in
separate interviews that
they were bored and looking
for something to do.
Mahaney had extensive
internal and external injuries, and was hospitalized
for four days.
The teens, who are
charged with felonious assault and aggravated rioting,
had been scheduled for trial
Friday but it was postponed;
five of them are under house
arrest and the sixth was in
custody. A new date was not
set.
Robert Ransdell of Florence, Ky., the Cincinnati
coordinator for the National
Alliance, organized Friday’s
rally and called on white
people to speak out about
“hate-crime hypocrisy.”
“They call me a racist,
they call me a supremacist,
and black people are called
civil rights leaders,” he
shouted as four supporters
stood quietly behind him,
holding signs saying, “Diversity is not what it seems —
it is anti-white.”
Board rejects mercy for Ohio death row inmate
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A
condemned killer who shot two
men in the head execution-style in
eastern Ohio appears headed for execution following the Ohio Parole
Board’s unanimous decision Friday
to reject clemency.
Donald Palmer did not request
mercy from the board, a relatively

Gregory Scott Stanley, 49, of Proctorville, Ohio, died rare move among death row inmates, and the board said it found
Wednesday, August 22, 2012, at home.

“There is no doubt of Palmer’s

determined that Palmer received
a fair trial,” the board wrote in its
opinion.
The board also noted that Palmer didn’t provide evidence that he
should not be put to death, and said
his behavior in prison “has been far
from exemplary.”
Palmer, 43, scheduled for execution Sept. 20, was convicted of fatally shooting two men in the head
along a Belmont County road in
eastern Ohio on May 8, 1989.
Palmer’s attorney David Stebbins
presented a short statement to the
parole board that said Palmer was
not asking for clemency. He said
Friday by email that Palmer’s wishes must “regretfully” be followed.
“He seems to be competent so his
choice controls,” Stebbins said.
Gov. John Kasich has the final
say, but Stebbins says he expects
the execution to proceed.
Ohio has 146 inmates on death
row, and 10 additional executions
are scheduled through March 2014.
Breivik, survivors welcome Norway prison term
Prosecutors had asked for
an insanity ruling, which
Breivik rejected as an attempt to deflate his radical anti-Muslim views. He
smiled with apparent satisfaction when the five-judge
panel declared him sane and
sentenced him to a 21-year
prison sentence that can be
extended for as long as he’s
considered dangerous to
society. Legal experts say
that likely means he will be
locked up for life.
“He has killed 77 people,
most of them youth, who
were shot without mercy,
face to face. The cruelty is
unparalleled in Norwegian
history,” Judge Arne Lyng
said. “This means that the
defendant even after serving
21 years in prison would be
a very dangerous man.”
In his final words, Breivik
regretted not killing more
people, apologizing to other “militant nationalists”
for not achieving an even
higher death toll. He said
he wouldn’t appeal the ruling because that would “legitimize” a court he said got
its mandate from a political
system that supports multiculturalism.
Prosecutors also said they
would not appeal, bringing the legal process for
Norway’s worst peacetime
massacre to an end and providing closure for victims’
families and survivors, who
have had to endure weeks
of testimony from Breivik
describing the victims as
traitors for embracing immigration.
“I am very relieved and
happy about the outcome,”
said Tore Sinding Bekkedal, who survived the Utoya
shooting. “I believe he is
mad, but it is political madness and not psychiatric
madness,” Bekkedal said.
“He is a pathetic and sad
little person.”
From Europe’s far right,
the reaction was mixed.
Some argued that Friday’s
verdict played into their
core beliefs, though they
have spoken out against his
violent rampage.
“It was obviously wrong
what he did, but there was
logic to all of it,” said Stephen Lennon, the 29-yearold leader of the English
Defense League, an antiMuslim group. “By saying
that he was sane, it gives a
certain credibility to what he
had been saying. And that is,
that Islam is a threat to Europe and to the world.”
Frank Franz, a spokesman
for the German far-right party NPD, distanced his party
from Breivik.
“We consider his deeds to
be those of a murderer, it’s as
simple as that,” Franz told
AP. “For us, it had nothing
to do with politics.”
During the trial, Breivik
said the reason for his massacre was to draw attention
to a manual of far-right terrorism that he released on
the Internet just before the

OSLO, Norway (AP) — It
was during breaks between
marathon video game sessions in his mother’s apartment in Oslo that Anders
Behring Breivik drafted his
complicated and chilling
plan. He would kill indiscriminately with explosives
and guns, surrender to authorities if he survived, then
prove himself sane in court
— all to publicize a manifesto accusing Muslims of destroying European society.
By any account, it went
exactly to plan. A court
ruled Friday that Breivik
was sane when he killed 77
people, most of them teenagers, in attacks that shook
Norway to its core.
“His goal was to be declared sane, so on that point
he is satisfied,” Breivik’s
defense lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said.
The Oslo district court
found the 33-year-old rightwing extremist guilty of
terrorism and premeditated
murder for the twin attacks
on July 22 last year. Breivik
first bombed government
headquarters, killing eight
people, before going on a
shooting massacre on Utoya
island that left 69 dead at
a summer camp for young
members of the governing
Labor Party.

Money Matters
Asset titling
Stan Evans
Registered Investment Advisor
Many people have no understanding of the way that the titling of an asset directs its flow
in their estate. They may have
received a cover letter from their
attorney detailing the steps needed to re-title their assets to complete their estate planning, but
often it gets filed away with the
documents and never addressed.
When you do your review of your
estate plan, make sure that the
investment assets are titled properly and remember to check out
other assets, especially real estate.
Don’t rely on your memory — actually check the deed.
The Most
Common Misperceptions
Many clients think that all
their assets will be distributed
at their death according to the
terms of their will or trust. It
is important to understand that
many assets—maybe everything you own — could pass
outside your estate, depending
on the way the assets are titled.
It’s not uncommon for couples
to have wills that set up bypass
trusts, and at the death of the
first spouse, they discover there
are no assets to fund the trust
because they are all jointly
owned and bypass the estate
completely
Problems such as these result from failing to understand
the importance of titling. Assets that are owned “joint with
right of survivorship” or “ten-
ants by the entireties” will automatically pass directly to the
survivor. Also, any asset with a
beneficiary designation will go
directly to the named beneficiary. The most common examples
are IRAs, other retirement accounts, life insurance, and annuities.
Titling Options
The three primary types of
ownership are fee simple, tenancy
in common, and joint tenancy
with right of survivorship:
Fee simple is ownership by
one individual, who owns all the
property and can give it away,
sell it, or leave it on death. The
property is subject to probate at
death and will flow into the client’s estate to be distributed according to the terms of the will.
Fee simple property can also be
titled in the name of an individual’s living trust to avoid probate.
Tenancy in common means that
there is more than one owner, and
each owns a share of the asset.
Each owner has less control of the
whole property than an individual
who owns a fee simple interest,
but does have the right to give
away, sell, or leave his or her share
at death.
Joint tenancy with right of
survivorship is commonly used
by married couples, but can be
used by two or more individuals as long as they each have an
equal interest and they acquire
that interest at the same time.
Each co-owner owns all of the
property with the others. They
can sell or transfer their interest
during life, but cannot bequeath
the interest at death. This type
of ownership does not allow the
deceased’s share of the property
to pass into his estate; rather, it
transfers automatically to the
other owner(s).
Other Titling Methods That
Bypass the Estate
A titling technique that is becoming more widely used for
bank and investment accounts
is “transfer on death” (TOD) or
“payable on death” (POD), where
the account owner names a beneficiary. We have seen this used
by individuals who want to make
sure that someone, usually a child,
has access to liquid assets immediately upon their death.

WalMart helps Outreach Center to restock food

With the assistance of the Walmart Supercenter of Gallipolis, the Outreach Center has been able to provide emergency food baskets to those
individuals in need. Pictured, from left, are: Gary Fenderbosch, president
of the Outreach Center board of directors; Linda Tackett, part-time
employee and full-time volunteer at the Outreach Center; Lewis Taylor,
co-manager of the Gallipolis Walmart, Gallipolis; and James Cochran, a
member of the Gallipolis Walmart management team.
GALLIPOLIS — The
Walmart Supercenter of Gallipolis recently joined with
the Outreach Center in a
campaign to help restock the
shelves of the Outreach food
pantry.
According to Outreach
board member Sherrie Fenderbosch, in an act of “neighbor helping neighbor,” the
management of Walmart
came to their aid immediately
following the recent storm
that affected so many people
in Gallia County, leaving them
in need of food.
“They have been helping us
in every possible way,” Fenderbosch stated. “They’ve been
fantastic in helping to feed
our emergency patrons.”
The supercenter has been
helping to supply bread, pastries and other items for the
emergency baskets compiled
at the Outreach Center and
the customers of the store
have also been generously donating food items by purchasing them and leaving the food

on donation tables stationed
throughout the store.
Fenderbosch reported that,
in the extended power outage
in late June and early July, the
Outreach Center, located on
State Street in Gallipolis, lost
all of their frozen foods. Additionally, the Second Harvest
Food Pantry, where the Outreach Center traditionally purchases its food for donation,
also lost all of the food that
had been available to supply
the 20 county food banks they
serve in southeastern Ohio.
The food bank, located in Logan, Ohio, had 200 cases of
nonperishable food to divide
been the 20 food pantries, according to Fenderbosch.
Fenderbosch reported that,
with the aid of Walmart and
other community members
and organizations, the pantry
has been able to supply food
only in emergency situations.
“We’re doing the best we
can. We can’t do regular food
baskets, we just don’t have it,”
Fenderbosch said. “However,
we’ve not turned away anyone
who truly needs help.”
While the initial response
of the community has been
more than appreciated, Fenderbosch stated that additional
assistance is still needed in
that, due to the shortage at
Second Harvest, the Outreach
Center is currently purchasing food at retail price, a situation that leaves the shelves of
the pantry nearly empty.
Donations of perishable
items, such as meat and larger
entree items, as well as monetary donations would be of
great assistance, according to
Fenderbosh.
Without community help,
the pantry of the Outreach
Center is not expected to be
fully replenished until late
October or November of this
year.
Donations can be dropped
off at the Outreach Center
located at 275 State Street,
Gallipolis. Normal business
hours are from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday.
The center can be reached
at (740) 446-7555. Arrangements can be made for those
wishing to donate after hours.

Gunman kills one at Empire State Building, nine wounded
two police officers, a detail
regularly assigned to patrol city landmarks like the
1,454-foot skyscraper since
the 9/11 terror attacks, officials said.
Surveillance video footage shows Johnson reaching into a bag, pulling out
a .45-caliber pistol and
pointing it at officers, Kelly
said. The officers drew their
weapons and started firing,
killing Johnson, Kelly said.
“These officers … had
absolutely no choice,” Kelly
said. “This individual took a
gun out very close to them
and perhaps fired at them.”
Kelly said authorities believe police may be responsible for some of the injuries because of the limited
capacity of the gunman’s
weapon.
Erica Solar doesn’t know
who shot her in the back of
the knee while she walked
to get coffee on her way to
work, said her brother, Louis Lleras.
“She just heard shots
and she fell to the ground a
couple of steps forward and
noticed that she was shot,”
Lleras said.
The wounded victims included five women and four
men, aged 20 to 56, authorities said.
Ercolino’s profile on the
business networking site
Linkedin identified him as a
vice president of sales at Hazan Import Corp. It said he
was a graduate of the State
University of New York at
Oneonta.
A man who answered the
phone at Ercolino’s home
in Warwick, northwest of
Manhattan, said he was too
distraught to talk.
“He was a good son, that’s
all I can say,” said the man,
who didn’t give his name.
The two officers fired a
total of 14 rounds at Johnson, Kelly said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said some
of the nine wounded may
have been shot by police
in the mayhem. Johnson’s
semi-automatic
weapon
was equipped to fire at least
eight rounds; at least one
round was left in the clip,
police said. Another loaded
magazine was in his briefcase.
Johnson worked at the
company near the building
for about six years and was
laid off because of downsizing, Kelly said.
Guillermo Suarez, the
72-year-old superintendent
at Johnson’s apartment
building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, said he lived
alone in a one-bedroom
apartment that he was subletting from someone else.
He called him a “very likeable guy,” who always wore
a suit.
“We were just working here and we just heard
bang, bang, bang!” said Mohammed Bachchu, 22, of
Queens, a worker at a nearby souvenir shop. He said
he rushed from the building
and saw seven people lying
on the ground, covered in
blood.
Queens resident Rebecca
Fox, 27, said she saw people
running down the street and
initially thought it was a celebrity sighting, but then
saw a woman shot in the
foot and a man dead on the
ground.
“I was scared and shocked
and literally shaking,” she
said. She said police seemed
to appear in seconds. “It
was like ‘CSI,’ but it was
real.”
Hassam Cissa, 22, of the
Bronx, said he saw two bodies on the ground and police
applying a white cloth to a
man’s stomach wound.
Gunshots so close to one
of the city’s leading tourist attractions immediately
prompted fears of terrorism, but federal officials
said that wasn’t the case,
and a guard at skyscraper
said it didn’t involve the
parts of the building where
tourists gather to visit the
skyscraper.
The gunfire came less
than two weeks after a
knife-wielding man was
shot dead by police near
Times Square, another
tourist-saturated part of the
city. Authorities say police
shot 51-year-old Darrius
Kennedy after he lunged
at officers with a kitchen
knife Aug. 12. Kennedy
was smoking marijuana in
Times Square on a Saturday afternoon when officers
first approached, police
said. It was the beginning
of an encounter that would
stretch for seven crowded
blocks.
In 1997, a gunman opened
fire on the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State
Building, killing one tourist
and wounding six others be-
fore fatally shooting himself.
Metal detectors and
bag searchers have been
standard at the 102-story
skyscraper since the 1997
shooting.
Millions of tourists visiting New York ascend its
heights to gape over the city
from its observation deck,
made famous in films such
as “Sleepless in Seattle.” It
was 1933’s “King Kong” that
showed a giant ape clutching Fay Wray and fending off
airplanes atop the tower.
The skyscraper and its observatories remained open
throughout the mayhem Friday, the building’s owner said.
“This unfortunate event
had nothing to do with
the Empire State Building
and with terrorism,” said
Anthony Malkin of Malkin
Holdings.

NEW YORK (AP) — A
women’s accessories designer fatally shot a vice president of the company that
laid him off near the Empire
State Building Friday, causing a chaotic showdown
with police in front of one
of the world’s best-known
landmarks. Police killed the
suspect and at least nine
others were wounded, some
by stray police gunfire, city
officials said.
The gunshots rang out on
the Fifth Avenue side of the
building at around 9 a.m.,
when pedestrians packed
sidewalks and merchants
were opening their shops.
“People were yelling ‘Get
down! Get down!”, said
Marc Engel, an accountant
who was on a bus in the area
when he heard the shots. “It
took about 15 seconds, a lot
of ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, one
shot after the other.”
Afterward, he saw the
sidewalks littered with the
wounded, including one
person “dripping enough
blood to leave a stream.”
Some of the wounded
were just grazed by bullets,
and all were expected to
survive.
Wearing a suit and tie and
carrying a briefcase, Jeffrey
Johnson fired three times
at his 41-year-old coworker
outside Hazan Imports,
shooting him in the head,
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Johnson, 58, and the
victim, identified by city
officials as company vice
president of sales Steven
Ercolino, had traded accusations of harassment when
Johnson worked there, and
law enforcement officials
said that Johnson had been
angry that Ercolino wasn’t
promoting his products.
Johnson walked away,
and a construction worker
who saw the shooting followed Johnson and alerted

Teachers must make the
grade under new guidelines
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When Ohio’s
new teacher evaluation system kicks in
starting next year, teacher Tammy Schmidt
may be joining her third-grade students in
preparing scrapbooks of their classroom accomplishments.
Teacher portfolios, which could include
lesson plans, student work, photographs
— even videos, are among the tools that
states are considering as a way to better
rate educators, and to meet the conditions
for federal funding. Other approaches being developed and tested across the nation
may include parent reviews, student surveys, classroom observations and student
growth measures including standardized
test scores.
Teachers with consecutive poor ratings
will first get help, and then could lose their
tenure. Teachers who consistently excel
would be evaluated less frequently.
The push for reform has emerged from
a growing bipartisan consensus — joined
by the Obama administration — that the
old advancement model based on tenure
and seniority wasn’t always working, with
union-negotiated agreements viewed as
sometimes protecting bad teachers or
blocking opportunities for young talent.
Tim Melton, legislative director for the
education reform group StudentsFirst, said
parents and teachers alike had become frustrated with evaluations that ranged from
lackluster to nonexistent.
“The biggest factor in school by far is an
effective teacher in the classroom,” he said.
“Everyone in the building knows who those
people are. The difference now is there is a
lot of robust data to show how things are
going. The question is once you have it,
what are you going to do with it?”
Most states pledged to establish new
teacher and principal evaluation systems
to gain points on their applications for the
Obama administration’s Race to the Top
grants. States that wanted a waiver from
some of the No Child Left Behind law’s requirements also had to pursue certain policies, including basing teacher evaluations
in part on student achievement.
Michelle Exstrom, education program
principal at the National Conference of State
Legislatures, said in most states, teachers
weren’t evaluated annually and, when they
were reviewed, almost all received satisfactory ratings.
“These evaluation systems are meant to
be much more authentic in assessing how
students are doing,” she said. “And make
no mistake: Teachers, parents and students
all want this. It doesn’t do a teacher any
good to get a positive evaluation that’s not
accurate.”
But measuring good teaching isn’t easy
— particularly when nearly 8 in 10 public
school educators nationwide don’t teach
subjects measured using standardized
tests. When the U.S. Department of Education offered waivers last summer to extend
the deadline for states to start up their
evaluation systems, more than half of states
applied, according to a department spokeswoman.
In Ohio, Schmidt, who teaches in the Columbus suburb of Hilliard, is one of nearly
109,000 teachers statewide who will fall
under new teacher evaluation criteria that
kick in next July.
The evaluation system the state is developing will base half a teacher’s rating
on student growth, measured through test
scores and other criteria; the other half will
be based on teacher performance, as measured by more frequent classroom observations, among other things.
Schmidt said her district doesn’t currently plan to use student surveys as evaluation
tools, but she has a hard time imagining
how that would look for other educators of
8-year-olds.
“As teachers, we respond to student
feedback on a constant basis,” Schmidt
said. “It’s that look on their face like, ‘Oh
my gosh, I have no idea what you’re talking
about,’ to, are they engaged in this unit or
are they daydreaming?”
She said parent feedback — another
tool Ohio districts are weighing whether
to use — could be just as variable, with
those unhappy with a child’s poor grade or
a teacher’s demeanor potentially turning in
low marks.
James Martinez, a spokesman for the National Parent-Teacher Association, said it’s
valid nonetheless.
“Parents’ perspectives should be considered in every kind of decision and in any
kind of evaluation, not even just teachers,”
he said.
Michele Wimship, an education reform
consultant to the Ohio Education Association teachers’ union, said decisions on how
Ohio’s evaluation system will look is being
delegated to local school boards. She fears
that will produce a patchwork of approaches for different types of teachers across the
state.
“It’s going to be very complicated and
confusing,” she said. “We are watching with
interest given the fact this new law was
passed with no input from teachers, no input from administrators, and no input from
the state Department of Education.”
In Missouri, after months of deliberations, the complexity of the issue prompted
state lawmakers to leave for the summer
without passing their teacher evaluation
bill. Last winter, Virginia lawmakers rejected Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell’s
proposal to make it easier to fire teachers
by phasing out continuing contracts, which
are akin to tenure, and replacing them with
three-year contracts.
Elsewhere, teachers’ unions and reform
groups are waging legal battles over the
movement.
In Florida, the statewide teachers’ union
and two individual teachers have filed suit
over the new state plan, which replaces
seniority with merit pay. They argue it’s
vague, arbitrary and doesn’t match the law
that was passed. The state contends it conforms to the 2011 law, which also ends tenure for newly hired teachers.
A judge in Los Angeles ruled preliminarily that the city school district is violating
state law by not including student achievement measures, including test scores, in
teacher evaluations. The suit was filed by
an anonymous group of families sponsored
by EdVoice, a Sacramento-based education
reform group, and awaits a final outcome.
Behind such fireworks, states and districts are hard at work hammering out how
exactly the new evaluation systems will
work.
Pennsylvania’s new law replaces the current performance evaluations for public
school teachers that are based solely on
observations by superiors. The new system would rely on those observations for
half of the rating, and the other half would
be based on multiple measures of student
achievement, including standardized test
scores, classroom activities and quiz scores.
Colorado’s law, passed in 2010, lays out
four ratings for teachers: highly effective,
effective, partially ineffective, and ineffective. It says half the ranking should be
based on student test scores, and that
teachers ranked ineffective for two straight
years would risk losing tenure, the status
that protects them from getting fired.
Texas has developed a new, tougher standardized test — the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR
— to measure for how well students, teachers and school districts perform. Starting
next year, teachers and school districts will
be evaluated on students’ passing rate.
The new exam is designed to be far more
difficult than its predecessor, and critics say
it puts even more pressure on teachers to
teach to high-stakes standardized tests.
Defenders of the exam, including those
in the business community, say it’s the only
way to ensure Texas has a workforce that’s
properly educated for the jobs of the future.
Missouri woes are latest
for GOP in Senate quest
WASHINGTON (AP) —
It’s not just Todd Akin. The
fallout from the Missouri
Senate candidate’s “legitimate rape” comment was
the latest signal that the Republican path to the majority in the Senate may have
just gotten tougher.
Democratic
prospects
have improved in states
where Republicans had long
been favored, like North Dakota and Arizona. And Republicans also now face the
possibility of losing a seat in
Maine.
The GOP argues that
it still has a strong path
to power, given improved
prospects in states like Wisconsin, Nevada and Connecticut.
On Capitol Hill, Republicans are expected to keep
control of the House and
need to gain four seats
claim the Senate majority—
or three if Mitt Romney is
elected, making Wisconsin
Rep. Paul Ryan the tiebreaking vote.
Which party controls the
Senate has vast influence
over the future of major
policies, such as President
Barack Obama’s health
care law and the tax code,
as well as the makeup of
the Supreme Court. Four
of nine current justices are
over the age of 70.
If Republicans win control of the Senate and hang
onto the House majority, a
second-term Obama would
find it difficult to pass any
major legislation without
great compromise. On the
other hand, if Republican
Mitt Romney wins and the
GOP controls Congress,
Romney could have an easy
time pushing through his
agenda to repeal Obama’s
health care overhaul and
Wall Street regulations.
Multiple factors appeared
to be working in Republicans’ favor as this campaign
cycle began. One-third of
the Senate is up for grabs
every other year, and this
year, Democrats have 21
seats to defend, while Republicans have just 10.
A still-sluggish economy,
high unemployment and a
Democratic president with
an approval rating under
50 percent offered the GOP
reasons for optimism.
But the Senate terrain
now looks less dreary for
Democrats.
The latest blow for Republicans came Sunday.
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, widely regarded as
the most vulnerable Democrat up for re-election this
year, watched her opponent,
Rep. Akin, start to implode
when he said in an interview that women’s bodies
can shut down pregnancies
in cases of what he called
“legitimate rape.” Although
Akin repeatedly apologized,
top Republicans demanded
he drop out and vowed to
deprive him of funds should
he stay in the race, as Akin
has vowed to do.

Big Blacks hammer South Point, 57-0
Andy Layton
Special to OVP
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. —
The Point Pleasant Big Blacks
opened the season at home with
a 57-0 win over the South Point
Pointers to start the 2012 campaign.
“We came out and did exactly
what we wanted to do, pounce
on them early” said Head Coach
Dave Darst. “We knew it was
important to come out fired up
and ready to play in our opener.”
To say they were fired up
would be an understatement.
The Big Blacks finished with
2 rushers over the 100 yard plateau – junior Teran Barnitz with
121 and senior Anthony Perry
with 107, and two other rushers
with stellar nights – senior Tylun Campbell with 88 and senior
Marquez Griffin with 79 yards
on the night.
“All of our running backs did
a fantastic job and our young
quarterback was poised and had
some big plays” said Darst.
The young quarterback –
sophomore Aden Yates – was
in his first start at quarterback,
taking over for the departed Eric
Roberts.
Yates completed 4-5 passes on
the night for 105 yards – not bad
for a first start.
“Aden is just going to get better and better as the season goes
along. He had a great first start
and we expect his contributions
to increase more as the season
goes along.”
Yates’ main target – junior
Chase Walton – caught two
passes for 86 yards on the night,
including one 72 yard reception.
The Big Blacks were leading
the game 44-0 at halftime and
were able to add on two more
touchdowns after halftime.
Walton had a big night both
receiving and rushing – scoring one on his long touchdown
reception and two more rushing
touchdowns that were the first
two scores of the game. Senior
Marquez Griffin also had three
scores on the night – all rushing.
Marquez Griffin added on a 27
yard score with 10:49 left in the
first half and after that, the scoring just seemed to pile up.
Walton caught his touchdown
just 3 minutes later in the game
and just seconds later the team
was able to score a safety when
the ball rolled out of the endzone.
Teran Barnitz scored his first
touchdown of the season – a 32
yard score – with 5:09 left in the
first half. Griffin added one more
touchdown for measure from six
yards out with 1:24 left in the
first half.
After intermission, it was
Griffin with another 36 yard
dash to the end-zone with 2:33
left in the third quarter. Senior
Anthony Perry scored his first

RACINE, Ohio — Both
Southern and River Valley
football teams went into Friday night’s game at Roger
Lee Adams Memorial Field
in Racine with one thing
in mind, to get a victory in
week one.
With just 20 seconds remaining in regulation and
the Raiders ahead by one,
no one was sure which
team would get that victory.
Southern was on the River
Valley five yard line when
a host of RVHS tacklers
stripped and recovered the
football ensuring the 13-12
win.
Southern (0-1) junior tailback Tyler Barton punched
through the line and into
the end zone for six capping
off a 13 play 65 yard drive
on the Tornadoes’ opening
possession. The drive that
started with the opening
kickoff lasted 5:46 seconds
and featured a 24 yard pass
from Tristen Wolfe to Paul
Ramthun to set SHS up
with first and goal.
River Valley (1-0) senior
quarterback Austin Whobrey was the main feature of
the Raiders’ first drive completing four passes for 37
yards and rushing once for
five yards. RVHS senior running back Burnie Stanley
took over where Whobrey
left off, blasting through the
line and into the end zone
from two yards out. The
Raiders drive lasted 3:11
and went 66 yards in seven
plays.
Neither team’s second
drive of the game was as
successful as their first,
both teams managing just
one first down each. Penalties slowed both offenses
through the remainder of
the first half and the score
was set at 6-6 for the second
half.
River Valley was working on a 10 play drive that
began on their own 34 yard
line when the Tornadoes’
defense swarmed on the
fumbled football and gave
momentum to the home
sideline.

Meigs junior wideout Blaine Perry (81) attempts to break a tackle by Coal Grove defender Alex Bare (4) during the first
half of Friday night’s Week 1 non-conference football game at Farmers Bank Stadium Holzer Field in Rocksprings, Ohio.
Coal Grove spoils Marauders’ home opener
Dave Harris
Special to OVP
ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A
new era was ushered in Friday
night at Meigs High School.
The beautiful new Holzer Field
at Farmers Bank Stadium was
dedicated and the head coaching career of Mike Bartrum
started, the Coal Grove Hornets
were not the best quest however
as they defeated the Marauders
24-6.
The Hornets scored a touchdown in all four quarters, and
their defense held the Marauders to only one score despite the
Marauders being in the red zone
four times. “The kids played
hard,” Bartrum said. “Execution is the key; we were in the
red zone three times and didn’t
score. I need to be a better
coach, and put Kaileb (Sheets)
in better position to make plays
at quarterback.
Coal Grove took the opening
kickoff and put together a 10
play, 55 yard drive with Brandon
Hogsten going the final 23 yards
for the score at the 7:07 mark of
the first period.
Meigs came right back however and drove 69 yards in nine
plays with Jordan Hutton going
the final 11 yards to tie the game
at 6 with 3:24 left in the period.
Meigs was driving at the end
of the first period and drove
to the Coal Grove three. But
Sheets’ fourth down pass fell incomplete ending the threat.
The Hornets took a 12-6 lead
when Isaiah Gunther scored
from two yards out with 3:27
left in the half, and that is the
was the game stood at intermission.
Meigs took the second half
kickoff and Dillon Boyer on
the first play, reversed his field,
breaking tackles ran it 44 yards
to the Coal Grove 15. But the
Hornets defense stiffened and
once again Sheets’ pass on
fourth and five from the 10 fell
incomplete.
Coal Grove scored with just
four seconds left in the third on
a 28 yard pass from Alex Bare
to Aaron Wilson to make it an
18-6 contest heading into the final period.
Coal Grove capped off the scoring on a seven yard run by Kyle
Estep with 2:32 left in the game
and make the final 24-6 in favor of
Coal Grove.
Hogsten led the Hornet ground
attack with 11 carries for 93 yards,
Estep added 20 carries for 83
yards as the Hornets rushed for
272 yards. Bare was perfect in his
four pass attempts for 47 yards.
Gunther caught two for 23 yards
and Wilson one for 24 and a score.
Boyer led Meigs with 81 yards
in 16 tires, Hutton added 22 in
four tries and Andrew Burt 17 in
three tries. Sheets the freshman
Marauder quarterback was five
of 16 with an interception for 70
yards, Boyer was one for one for
25 yards. Michael Davis caught
three for 42 yards and Ty Phelps
two for 32.
Meigs will host Fairland next
Friday night at Holzer Field and
Farmers Bank Stadium.

picked up 346 yards in total offense
with the Bend Area team running for
210 yards and passing for another 136.
The locals scored on its first five
possessions of the opening half with
Gibbs beginning the first quarter
scoring onslaught by finding a wide
open Colton Neal behind the Fayetteville secondary for a 38 yard scoring
pass. Zach Wamsley booted the point
after, his first of five straight successful kicks on the night, to give WHS an
early 7-0 advantage with 7:57 to play
in the first canto.
Less than two minutes later Gibbs
followed up the Falcons’ first score by
scrambling 61 yards into the end zone.
Wamsley added the PAT kick to make
it 14-0 with 5:59 to play in the first
period.
On its next possession Gibbs found
Austin Jordan along the far sideline
with Jordan making the grab and
walking into the end zone. Wamsley’s
boot made it 21-0 with 1:26 to go in
the quarter.
The White Falcons took to the
ground for its two second period
touchdowns with Crandal Neal finding the end zone on a nine yard sprint
at the 9:21 mark before Wamsley com-
pleted the Mason County teams scoring by racing 19 yards for the locals’
final touchdown with 6:59 left in the
half.
Fayetteville marched deep into Wahama territory on three successive
occasions late in the game but was
successful on only their final offensive
series. Hunter Pullins capped a six
play 49 yard drive for the Pirates with
a two yard burst into the end zone to
escape the shutout.
In addition to Trenton Gibbs’ big
offensive night the White Falcons
received 62 yards on the ground by
Wamsley and 35 by Crandal Neal.
Wyatt Zuspan caught one pass for 36
yards and Crandal Neal one for 20
yards to join Colton Neal and Austin
Jordan’s 38 and 33 yard grabs.
Aaron Krise paced the Pirates
ground game with 53 yards with Pullins notching 50 and Tasheem Collins
49. Krise was successful on just two
of six aerials for 15 yards with Louis
Mendenez picking off a Krise offering
for Wahama.
Wahama (1-0) will again hit the
road for the second straight week

Oh, yeah, there was a shutout after all, right? The Big
Blacks defense stepped up with a nice defensive effort, allowing just 148 total yards. Big contributions were made
from senior Kodi Stranahan, Andrew Williamson, Hunter
Bellamy, and Anthony Perry. Other solid defensive efforts
came from Marquez Griffin, Brycen Reymond, Robby Wallace, Gage Buskirk, Teran Barnitz, and Cody Mitchell.
The Big Blacks offense ended up totaling 587 yards on
the night – 477 on the ground – and featured 11 different
ball carriers – Barnitz, Perry, Campbell, Griffin, Walton,
Mitchell, Cody McDaniel, Cody Marcum, Hunter Trent,
Austen Toler, and Aden Yates.
Four different Big Blacks caught passes – Walton, Barnitz, Campbell, and Mitchell.
After a big week one home victory, it is time to go on
the road for the next month plus. The Big Blacks will
travel to former conference rival Tolsia next Friday night.
“We had a great start to the season tonight but it’s just
that, a start” said Darst. “It’s time to start focusing on
Tolsia and try our best to get to 2-0.”
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Here’s a truly digital look at the
2012 Ohio State Buckeyes, by the
numbers:
7,000,000—In dollars, the cost
of the new scoreboard at Ohio Stadium and other updated electronic
gadgets around the old place on
the banks of the Olentangy. The
11-year-old scoreboard was a measly
30 feet by 90 feet. The new one is
42 feet by 124 feet and will feature
a high-definition that which utilizes
“Surface Mount Diode LED technology.”
4,200,000—In dollars, estimate
of how much Urban Meyer gets paid
for the calendar year 2012 under the
six-year contract he signed with the
university. That does not include
so-called “retention payments” of
$450,000, $750,000 and $1.2 million — separate from his escalating
contract — he’ll get if he’s still the
coach at the end of January in 2014,
2016 and 2018, respectively.
1988—Last time the Buckeyes
had a losing record (4-6-1) before
last year’s 6-7 mark.
1897—Last time Ohio State lost
seven games in a season prior to
2011.
560—Face value, in dollars, of a
season ticket to Ohio State football
this fall ($70 per home game).
223—Number of new high-def
TVs around the stadium concourse
and press box, also part of the $7
million electronics makeover.
165—Difference
in
weight
between the heaviest player
(340-pound DL Chris Carter) and
the lightest (175-pound DB Vince
Petrella).
127—Yards per game passing by
the Buckeyes in 2011, which ranked
115th of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
107—Where Ohio State ranked
in total offense of the 120 teams in
the Football Bowl Subdivision in
2011.
80—Height, in inches, of the
tallest Buckeye, 6-foot-8 tight endturned-lineman Reid Fragel. That’s
exactly a foot taller than his shortest
teammate, CB Adam Griffin.
79—Length of the suspension,
in days, of senior LB Storm Klein.
Initially charged with domestic
violence after an incident with
the mother of his child, Klein was
kicked off the team July 7 by Meyer
for a violation of the program’s “core
principles.” Klein pleaded guilty to
a lesser misdemeanor Wednesday,
appealed to Meyer, and was reinstated Thursday night. He will sit
out at least the first two games.
Raiders
Using that momentum,
and with the aid of some
costly penalties be the
Raiders, Southern began
to march toward the end
zone. From 24 yards out
Wolfe completed a pass to
junior wide receiver Trenton Deem for six points
and the lead. Southern’s
drive spanned 74 yards in
12 plays.
The Tornadoes defense
forced two consecutive
three-and-outs but the offense couldn’t expand on
the 12-6 lead. With just under six minutes remaining
in the game Southern was
forced to punt and RVHS
senior Austin Davies gave
his team superb field position with a 15 yard return
to midfield. Three plays
later the Raiders found
themselves tied, as Whobrey completed a 22 yard
pass to Chris Clemente for
six points. With a chance to
take the lead on the point
after River Valley’s Jacob
Leach split the uprights and
gave the Raiders 13-12 lead.
Southern began it’s drive
at midfield with five 4:58 remaining in regulation. After
10 plays the Tornadoes had
a second and goal from the
five yard line with 22 seconds left. RVHS managed
to recover the loose football
and run out the clock, taking the 13-12 victory.
The Raiders compiled
197 yards of total offense in
their victory, while South-

Crager leads East past Rebels, 36-28
bwalters@heartlandpublications.com
MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— Simply put, Justin Crager was a one-man gang Friday night.
The senior quarterback
accumulated 364 of the
visiting Tartans’ 402 total
yards of offense and scored
every single Sciotoville
East point en route to a 3628 victory over South Gallia
in a Week 1 non-conference
contest in Gallia County.
The Tartans (1-0) relied
heavily on Crager, who
rushed 38 times for 355
yards and five touchdowns
overall in the first-ever
contest at the new Rebel
Stadium. Crager had 21 of
the Tartans’ 24 rushing attempts in the second half,
including 17 straight touches over the final 16:29 of
regulation.
That constant feeding
of the ball to Crager in the
second half resulted in four
touchdowns and 30 points,
which allowed Sciotoville
East to break away from a
six-all tie and secure the
season-opening victory.
The host Rebels (0-1)
never led in the contest, as
the Tartans put up the first
score of the night in the
first quarter. Crager capped
a 7-play, 85-yard opening
drive with a five-yard scamper for a 6-0 lead with 7:02
remaining.
The score remained that
way until the 6:17 mark of
the second period, as Landon Hutchinson gave SGHS
its first-ever points at the
new stadium with a six-yard
run to paydirt. Hutchinson’s historic score capped
a 9-play, 74-yard drive and
knotted the game up at six
headed into the half.
With the defenses starting to tighten up in the
second half, East decided
to go the distance with its
big gun. Crager first of 17
straight carries came at
the 4:29 mark of the third
quarter, when he plunged
in from six yards out to cap
a 6-play, 47-yard drive for a
12-6 edge. Crager added a
successful 2-point conversion run to give the guests
a 14-6 advantage.
Following an interception by Taylor Appling to
start the fourth, the Tartans put together an 8-play,
71-yard drive that gave the
guests their biggest lead of
the night at 22-6. Crager
capped the drive with a 23yard scoring run and a twopoint conversion run with
7:28 left in regulation.
The Rebels, however, responded with a 7-play, 65yard scoring drive that cut
the deficit down to eight after Jacob White plunged in
from a yard out for a 22-14
contest with 4:50 remaining.
On the first play from
scrimmage after the ensuing kickoff, Crager rumbled
71 yards to paydirt to give
East a 28-14 edge with 4:36
remaining.
The Rebels answered
with a 6-play, 78-yard drive
on its next possession,
which resulted in points after Hutchinson scored on a
run from two yards for a 2820 contest with 2:54 left in
the game.
East looked like it drive
the final nail in the coffin
at the 1:25 mark, as Crager
capped a 3-play, 57-yard
drive with a 48-yard scoring
run — giving the guests a
36-20 advantage.
Ethan Spurlock, however, took the ensuing kickoff 80 yards to the house,
allowing the hosts to pull
back to within a possession at 36-28 with 1:14
left in regulation.
SGHS failed on its ensuing onsides-kick attempt,
East ran two plays to gain
a first down and then took
two kneel-downs to wind
out the clock.
The Rebels amassed
359 yards of total offense
in the setback, including a
ground effort of 207 yards
on 45 carries. SGHS had
152 passing yards and
claimed an overall advantage of 19-16 in first
downs. The hosts also
committed the only two
turnovers in the contest,
including one mistake
that led to eight Tartan
points.
Hutchinson led the Rebels with 84 yards on 24
rushes and also went 7-of16 passing for 152 yards
and one interception.
White added 75 rushing
yards on 10 totes, while
Spurlock had 10 carries for
48 yards.
Kane Hutchinson led the
SGHS wideouts with 71
yards on three grabs, while
White hauled in two passes
for 34 yards, Jared Northup
(42) and Brandon Campbell
(5) also added a reception
apiece.
The Tartans accumulated
393 rushing yards on 46 attempts and also went 1-for5 passing for nine yards.

Second-half surge lifts Devils past Athens, 52-34
Bryan Walters
bwalters@heartlandpublications.com
THE PLAINS, Ohio —
Now that’s a halftime adjustment.
Trailing 28-21 at the intermission, Gallia Academy
rallied for 31 second-half
points — including the final 24 points of the game
— Friday night during a
come-from-behind
52-34
victory over host Athens
in a Week 1 non-conference
matchup at Rutter Field in
Athens County.
The visiting Blue Devils
(1-0) found themselves in a
28-14 hole midway through
the second period, but a
late touchdown just before
halftime allowed GAHS to
pick up some momentum
headed into the second half.
Gallia Academy kept
things rolling its way after
the break, as the guests
scored on their opening
drive of the third quarter
to pull even at 28 with the
Bulldogs. Athens (0-1)
responded with its only
points of the second half on
its ensuing drive, giving the
hosts their final lead of the
night at 34-28 with 2:30 left
in the third.
GAHS followed with 24
unanswered points down
the stretch to turn a onepoint game into an 18-point
triumph.
Gallia Academy’s offense
was the main story of the
night, amassing 505 yards
of total offense — including 320 rushing yards on
50 carries. The Blue Devils’
defense, however, also came
up big, surrendering just
320 total yard of offense —
including a mere 93 rushing
yards on 26 totes.
GAHS took its first lead
of the night with 9:41 left in
the opening canto, as Cody
Russell plunged in from a
yard out for an early 7-0 advantage.
AHS quarterback Joe
Burrow followed with a
seven-yard scamper to pull
the hosts to within 7-6 at
the 4:16 mark, by Ty Warnimont countered with a 60yard run to paydirt with
2:49 left in the opener for a
14-6 lead.
Ryan Luehrman hauled in
a 10-yard scoring pass from
Burrow with just 26 second
left in the quarter, then the
duo hooked up successfully
on a two-point conversion
pass to pull the game even
at 14-all through one period
of play.
The Bulldogs took their
first lead of the night with
9:12 remaining in the first
half, as Burrow found Tyler
McIntosh on a seven-yard
scoring pass for a 20-14
cushion. Luehrman hauled
in another scoring pass
from Burrow at the 5:24
mark, giving Athens a 26-14
edge. Skylar Schwarzel added a successful two-point
conversion run, giving AHS
its biggest lead of the night
at 28-14.
The Devils managed to
trim that deficit in half at
the 3:07 mark of the second period, as Luke Pullins
rushed into the endzone
from a yard out for a 28-21
contest headed into the intermission.
GAHS pulled even with
7:04 left in the third quarter, as Clagg plunged in
from two yards out for a 28all contest. Trae Williams
gave the hosts the lead one
final time, scoring on an
eight-yard scamper with
2:30 remaining for a 34-28
edge.
Clagg hauled in the tying score from Jarrell with
a dozen seconds left in the
third, and Dylan Saunders
connected on the ensuing
extra point to secure a permament lead of 35-34 for
the guests.
Jarrell found Cody Russell on a 13-yard scoring
pass with 8:47 remaining for a 42-34 edge, then
Saunders nailed a 20-yard
field goal with 1:43 left in
regulation for a comfortable
45-34 cushion. Warnimont
concluded the scoring with
a 36-yard jaunt with 56 seconds remaining, allowing
GAHS to come away with
the 18-point decision.
Gallia Academy claimed
a small 16-14 edge in first
downs and committed just

also had both turnovers in
the contest.

Eagles fall to Symmes Valley in opener, 28-13
Bryan Walters
bwalters@heartlandpublications.com
TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
You could say that Eastern let
one slip away.
Then again, you could also say
that the Vikings simply ran away
with it.
Symmes Valley rushed for 364
yards and outscored the host Eagles by a 22-7 margin in the second half Friday night to secure
a 28-13 Week 1 victory during a
non-conference matchup at East
Shade River Stadium in Meigs
County.
The visiting Vikings (1-0) never trailed and pounded out all but
one yard of their total offense on
the ground, but the Eagles (0-1)
managed to keep pace through 24
minutes — as both teams found
themselves deadlocked at six en-
tering the intermission.
Symmes Valley, however, gradually whittled away at the Eastern defense in the second half,
which resulted in a 14-6 edge
headed into the finale. SVHS increased its lead to 21-6 with 9:53
remaining in regulation, but the
hosts put together one last courageous comeback effort with 6:22
left after Max Carnahan hauled
in his second TD catch of the
night to get back within a possession at 21-13.
The Vikings ultimately drove
the final nail into the coffin
with 4:46 left in the contest, as
D.J. Miller rumbled 46 yards to
paydirt — giving the guests a
28-13 lead that would never be in
jeopardy the rest of the way.
SVHS — which accumulated
365 yards of total offense in the
triumph — limited Eastern to
just 141 yards of total offense,
including a mere 81 rushing
yards on 35 attempts. The guests
claimed a small 13-10 edge in
first downs, and both teams committed two turnovers apiece in
the contest.
After a scoreless first period,
Symmes Valley struck first blood
with 1:23 left in the half after
Alec Herrell scrambled 55 yards
to paydirt — giving the guests an
early 6-0 advantage.
The Eagles countered with a
score just before the break, literally, as Carnahan came up with a
six-yard scoring pass from Joey
Scowden with no time on the
clock — allowing EHS to pull
even with the guests at six headed into halftime.
Symmes Valley wasted little
time getting the lead back, as
the guests scored on their open-
ing drive of the second half after
D.J. Miller scored on a 10-yard
run with 7:44 left in the third —
making it a 12-6 contest. Herrell
added a successful two-point conversion run for a 14-6 lead.
Herrell opened the fourth quarter scoring with a 49-yard scamper to paydirt, giving the guests
a 21-6 lead with 9:53 left in regulation.
Carnahan’s second TD reception from Scowden cut the deficit
down to 21-13 midway through
the fourth, but then came Miller’s
heartbreaking jaunt that returned
the deficit back to 15 with 4:46
to play. SVHS took over possession with three minutes left and
ultimately ran the clock down to
triple-zeroes to wrap up the decision.
Joey Scowden led Eastern’s
rushing attack with 22 carries
for 40 yards, while Chase Cook
added 19 yards on three totes.
Scowden was also 9-of-19 passing for 66 yards with two touchdowns. Carnahan finished the
evening with four catches for 42
yards, while Alex Amos had three
grabs for 18 yards.
Herrell led the Vikings with
156 rushing yards on 18 tries,
followed by Miller with 151 yards
on 15 carries. Quarterback Tyler
Rowe was 1-of-3 passing for one
yard and also had 10 rushes for
31 yards. Kyle Vallance had one
catch for a single yard.
Both teams were penalized
four times in the contest. Eastern
was flagged for 28 yards, while
Symmes Valley lost 41 yards on
penalties.
Eastern returns to action Friday when it hosts Miller in a TVC
Hocking matchup at 7:30 p.m.

tee, community involvement
has been key throughout the
process of planning and constructing the stadiums.
All three athletic complexes feature newly constructed press boxes, bleachers, concession stands, grass
fields with drainage systems,
tracks and other facilities.
OHIO VALLEY — As the
football season kicked off
around the region this past
Friday, two teams opened
their new stadiums. A third
will open its new home in
week three.
While the completed stadiums speak for themselves,
it took a great deal of time,
effort, planning and money
to make the three dream
stadiums the reality they are
today.
The stadiums at Meigs,
River Valley and South Gallia have not only provided
new homes for the teams,
but have brought several in
the community together to
work on the projects.
From the Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation to the
Gridiron for Gallia commit-
Meigs Local
Five years in the making, the new stadium at
Meigs High School officially
opened its doors just two
days ago with the recognition of several who made the
complex a reality.
The Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation (MLEF)
was formed in 2007 to improve the quality of the
Meigs Local School District
and surrounding communities.
From the fund raising to
the hundreds of volunteer
hours, members of the community has been involved
in numerous aspects of the
complex’s planning and
completion.
The approximately $2 million project was completed
through donations from in-

dividuals and businesses, as
well as multiple fund raising
efforts.
Many local suppliers and
contractors helped in the
building of the facility. From
the design to the plumbing
and the heating and cooling
systems, the work has been
done by local businesses and
community members.
Contractors helping in
“fulfilling the dream” were

Field”, as approved by the
Meigs Local Board of Education in January.
The MLEF requested the
naming of both the field and
the stadium based on recent
financial contributions to
the project.
The MLEF leased the
property where the stadium
now stands from the district for the purpose of constructing the new stadium.
The lease expired on June
30, 2012, at which time the
property and the stadium
were returned to the district.
Gallia County Local
While the stadium at
Meigs has been funded
through the MLEF, the
stadiums at River Valley
and South Gallia have been
funded in large part by the
district.
Gallia County Local
Schools Superintendent, Dr.
Charla Evans said the district had been planning and
saving toward the project,
having about $3 million to
put toward the project. The
funds came through the Permanent Improvement Fund.
The remainder of the project was financed through an
agreement with Ohio Valley
Bank.
Funds have also been
raised by the Gridiron for
Gallia committee through
various fund raising efforts,
including the annual Jamboree Game between River
Valley and South Gallia. Local businesses and individu-
als have also played a role
in making donations to the
projects.
Each stadium required approximately $2.5 million to
complete.
The stadium complex at
South Gallia and River Valley also included the construction of locker rooms, a
weight room and coaches’
offices.
Trimat Construction completed both stadiums, as well
as the field at River Valley.
Crown Excavating completed the field at South Gallia.
Fanning Howey Architects from Dublin, Ohio,
completed the design work
on the two stadiums, which
are very similar aesthetically.
Construction work began
in January 2011, with planning beginning about a year
before that, according to
Evans. In addition to fund
raising efforts, the Gridiron
for Gallia committee helped
with the planning of the
sports complexes.
“We hope to be able to
construct new baseball and
softball fields on the campuses of both high schools
in the near future,” said Evans. “It is simply not ideal
for RVHS students to be
travelling to Cheshire for
practice and games. SGHS
fields are located on the
Hannan Trace Elementary
campus, but these fields
need to be relocated and updated, as well.”

Are you needing additional pasture for your livestock? OSU research has shown that an application
of nitrogen (50 pounds of nitrogen
per acre) applied in late August or
early September to fescue based
pasture may greatly improve pasture yields for grazing after frost.
This assumes that phosphorus and
potash levels are in adequate supply.
This may be the year to make sure
you have taken a recent soil sample
to see what deficiencies may exist
in your pasture. Soil sampling may
be the best fifteen dollars you have
spent, in determining your farm’s
specific nutrient needs.

Phyllis Diller blazed trail for female comedians
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Long before Kathy Griffin was languishing on the
D-list, Roseanne Barr was
calling herself a domestic
goddess and Joan Rivers
was asking audiences if
they could talk, wild-haired
housewife-turned-comedian Phyllis Diller was dishing one-liners about her
husband, Fang.
“I should have suspected
my husband was lazy,” she
once joked. “On our wedding day, his mother told
me, ‘I’m not losing a son.
I’m gaining a couch.’”
Diller was the template
for self-deprecating female comedians. She not
only motivated a generation of funny women, such
as Ellen DeGeneres and
Whoopi Goldberg, her
silver-tongued zingers —
often punctuated by her
trademark cackle — paved
the way for them. And she
inspired funny guys, too.
“Loved her,” wrote Andy
Richter on Twitter on Monday. “Sad to hear she died.
A hero of mine.” Dane Cook
called her “a funny human
being that brought tons of
laughs to this world,” while
Patton Oswalt said she always seemed “genuinely
tickled and happy” during
her near century of life.
Diller passed away Monday morning in her Los
Angeles home at age 95.
She faced the end, fittingly,
“with a smile on her face,”
said longtime manager Milton Suchin. The comedian,
who suffered a near-fatal
heart attack in 1999, was
found by her son, Perry
Diller. The cause of her
death has not been released.
She wasn’t the first woman to crack jokes on stage;
Gracie Allen had been getting laughs for decades playing dumb for George Burns.
But Diller was among the
first who didn’t need a man
around. The only guy in her
act was a husband named
Fang, who was never seen
and didn’t exist.
“Please recognize she
paved the way single handedly for years for us female
comedians,” wrote Griffin
on Twitter.
The Friars Club released
a statement Monday noting that in 1988 Diller was
among the first women admitted — legitimately. A
few years earlier, she had
snuck in for a Sid Caesar
roast, dressed as a man.
Born Phyllis Driver in
Lima, Ohio, she married
Sherwood Diller right out
of school (Bluffton College) and was a housewife
for several years before getting outside work. She was
an advertising writer for
a radio station when the
Purple Onion helped launch
her. She made her network
TV debut as a contestant
on Groucho Marx’s game
show, “You Bet Your Life.”
Diller, asked if she was
married: “Yes, I’ve worn a
wedding ring for 18 years.”
Marx replied: “Really?
Well, two more payments
and it’ll be all yours.”
She credited the self-help
book, “The Magic of Believing” by Claude M. Bristol,
with giving her the courage
to enter the business. Over
the years, she would recommend it to aspiring entertainers, even buying it for
them sometimes.
Diller worked steadily for
decades, in nightclubs and
on television. She built her
stand-up act around the persona of the corner-cutting
housewife (“I bury a lot
of my ironing in the backyard”) with bizarre looks,
a wardrobe to match (by
“Omar of Omaha”) and the
faithful Fang.
Wrote Time magazine
in 1961: “Onstage comes
something that, by its own
description, looks like a
sackful of doorknobs. With
hair dyed by Alcoa, pipecleaner limbs and knees just
missing one another when
the feet are wide apart, this
is not Princess Volupine. It
is Phyllis Diller, the poor
man’s Auntie Mame, only
successful female among
the New Wave comedians
and one of the few women
funny and tough enough to
belt out a ‘standup’ act of
one-line gags.”
“I was one of those life-ofthe-party types,” Diller said
in 1965. “You’ll find them in
every bridge club, at every
country club. People invited
me to parties only because
they knew I would supply
some laughs. They still do.”
She didn’t get into com-
edy until she was nearly
40, after her first husband,
Sherwood Diller, prodded
her for two years to give
up her advertising career.
Through it all, she was also
a busy mother. “We had
five kids at the time. I don’t
how he thought we’d handle
that,” she said in 2006.
A Chicago Tribune columnist, describing her appearance at a nightspot
there in 1958, noted she
was from San Francisco,
hailed her as “the weirdest,
wildest yet” — and made
sure to mention her five
youngsters.
Her husband managed
her career until the couple’s
25-year marriage fell apart
in the 1960s. Shortly after
her divorce she married entertainer Warde Donovan,
but they separated within
months. Through both marriages and other relationships, “Fang” remained.
“Fang is permanent in
the act, of course,” she
once said. “Don’t confuse
him with my real husbands.
They’re temporary.”
She also appeared in
movies, including “Boy, Did
I Get a Wrong Number”
and “Eight on the Lam”
with Bob Hope. Diller had
a cameo in “Splendor in the
Grass” and was among the
voices in the animated “A
Bug’s Life.”
In 1966-67, she was the
star of an ABC sitcom about
a society family trying to
stave off bankruptcy, “The
Pruitts of Southampton.”
Gypsy Rose Lee played a
nosy neighbor. In 1968, she
was host of a short-lived variety series, “The Beautiful
Phyllis Diller Show.”
But standup comedy was
her first love. Although
she could be serious during interviews, sooner or
later a joke would pop out,
often as not followed by her
outrageous cackle: “AHHHA A A A A A A A A A A AHA-HA-HA!”
“It’s my real laugh,” she
once said. “It’s in the family.
When I was a kid my father
called me the laughing hyena.”
Her looks were a frequent
topic, and she did everything she could to accentuate them — negatively. She
wore outrageous fright wigs
and deliberately shopped
for stage shoes that made
her legs look as skinny as
possible.
“The older I get, the funnier I get,” she said in 1961.
“Think what I’ll save in not
having my face lifted.”
She felt different about
plastic
surgery
later,
though, and her face, and
other body parts, underwent a remarkable transformation. Efforts to be beautiful became a mainstay of
her act.
Commenting in 1995
about the repainting of
the Hollywood sign, she
cracked, “It took 300 gallons, almost as much as I
put on every morning.” She
said her home “used to be
haunted, but the ghosts
haven’t been back since
the night I tried on all my
wigs.”
She recovered from a
1999 heart attack with the
help of a pacemaker, but
finally retired in 2002, saying advancing age was making it too difficult for her to
spend several weeks a year
on the road. “I have energy,
but I don’t have lasting
energy,” she said in 2006.
“You have to know your
limitations.”
Diller continued to take
occasional small parts in
movies and TV shows
(“Family Guy”) and pursued
painting as a serious hobby.
She published her autobiography, “Like a Lampshade
in a Whorehouse,” in 2005.
The 2006 film “Goodnight,
We Love You” documented
her career.
When she turned 90 in
July 2007, she fractured a
bone in her back and was
forced to cancel a planned
birthday appearance on
“The Tonight Show With
Jay Leno.” But it didn’t stop
her from wisecracking: “I
still take the pill ‘cause I
don’t want any more grandchildren.”
Her other books included
“Phyllis Diller’s Housekeeping Hints” and “Phyllis
Diller’s Marriage Manual.”
“Don’t get me wrong,
though,” she said in a 1982
interview that threatened to
turn serious. “I’m a comic.
I don’t deal with problems
when I’m working.”
“I want people to laugh.”
Navy SEAL Book on bin Laden raid coming out Sept. 11
make sure that no classified material is revealed.
The book, titled “No Easy
Day” and scheduled to be released next month on the 11th
anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, comes amid a
heated debate over whether
members of the military — both
active duty and retired — should
engage in political battles.
“I haven’t read the book and
am unaware that anyone in the
Department has reviewed it,”
said Pentagon press secretary
George Little. White House and
CIA officials also said the book
had not been reviewed by their
agencies.
The book announcement
comes just as a group of retired special operations and
CIA officers have launched a
campaign accusing President
Barack Obama of revealing
classified details of the mission and turning the killing of
bin Laden into a campaign centerpiece. The group complains
that Obama has taken too much
credit for the operation.
Their public complaints drew
a rebuke from Gen. Martin
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, as well as other
special operations forces, who
called the partisan criticism unprofessional.
Dempsey said that such public
political involvement by members of armed services erodes
public confidence and trust in
the military.

whether you get value.”
Here’s what to think
about:
Figure out your needs;
First, consider how useful
or enjoyable the service is.
Check out the sites’ Facebook and Twitter feeds to
see what others are saying
about them.
For arts-and-crafts activities, sites like Kiwi Crate,
Green Kid Crafts and Babbaco offer projects the companies say are selected by
panels of experts. These
projects, which are different
each month, range from papier-mache moons to paper
robots.
For services like these,
it’s important to be realistic
about how much time you’ll
be able to devote to the projects, which can take several
hours.
Do you really want to be
surprised?; Not all the services let you choose exactly
what you get. That may be
a bigger issue for clothing,
because it’s a more personal
purchase.
Some services try to customize the experience. FabKids personalizes the threepiece outfits for girls based
on a 15-question quiz. That
includes questions on size
and age but also the child’s
favorite color and even personality traits.
Based on that profile, FabKids emails you three top
outfit picks. If you don’t like
them, you can go to the site
to pick something else.
But if you like the luck
of the draw, you might be
better off with Wittlebee,
which sends six different
items each month. The site
targets newborns to 5-yearold boys and girls. Members
can specify style preferences
and needs. For example,
are you looking for pajamas
or socks? But the company
throws in a twist. Wittlebee’s CEO Sean Percival
says, “You get half of what
you want.” The other half is
a surprise.
Be clear on what you
get; Consider what you’re
getting in that box. For example, Kiwi Crate and Babbaco provide the first pair
of scissors in the first shipment, and always provide
glue. But for Green Kid
Crafts, you’re buying your
own. That service’s hook is
that all its materials are ecofriendly.
Green Kid Crafts and Kiwi
Crate both charge $19.95 a
month. Babbaco is $29.99,
but it also provides an item
tied to a monthly theme. So
to go with a moon and star
kit kids earlier this year, it
sent along a pair of binoculars.
As for clothing sites, are
you a brand snob? Wittlebee features such brands as
Calvin Klein, American Apparel and smaller labels like
Laughing Giraffe, for $39.99
monthly.
FabKids’
three-piece
outfits for a monthly fee of
$39.95 are designed by the
company. For style guid-
ance, FabKids has teamed
up with actress Christina
Applegate, a mom herself.
Is it really worth bypassing stores?; Jodi Furman, author of a blog called
Livefabuless.com, says parents looking to save money
on art supplies, rather than
trying to find unique projects, should just go to a store
like Wal-Mart or Target.
“Now is a good time to
stock up,” said Furman,
because of stores’ back-toschool sales. But Kiwi Crates
and Babbaco argue parents
waste money because many
times they buy art supplies
in bulk and then never end
up using them. The materials are also of high quality.
FabKids CEO Andy Moss
says his site offers the same
quality of clothing as you
might find at J.Crew or Gap
but for half the price.
Wittlebee’s Percival says
that each box has a retail
value of $100. When the
service was launched in February, it was selling a lot of
closeouts from brands but
now big clothing suppliers
are approaching the company and are willing to give
big discounts.
Look for flexibility; Poke
around to make sure you can
return the box of goodies
for a refund if you are disappointed.
At FabKids, you can skip
the month at no cost if you
don’t like any of the options.
You can also cancel your
membership at any time, as
in the case for many of the
sites.
Pay attention; Be careful
about keeping track of your
memberships. You can easily
forget to cancel the service
when you don’t want it anymore.
“That’s one more thing
that could get lost in the
fray,” Furman says.
left the military, is using the
pseudonym Mark Owen. And in
a news release from publisher
Dutton, an imprint of Penguin
Group (USA), Owen describes
the book as an effort to “set the
record straight about one of the
most important missions in U.S.
military history.”
He said the book is about “the
guys” and the sacrifices that the
special operations forces make
to do the job and is written in

WASHINGTON (AP) — A

team that killed Osama bin

the possible public release of

Authorities amend Natalie Wood’s death certificate
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Natalie Wood’s death certificate has
been changed to reflect some of
the uncertainties and lingering
questions surrounding the actress’ drowning more than 30
years ago in the Pacific Ocean
off Southern California.
The document was amended
earlier this month and shifts
Wood’s death from an accidental drowning to “drowning and
other undetermined factors,”
according to a copy of the certificate obtained Tuesday by
The Associated Press.
The amended document also
now states that the circumstances of how Wood ended
up in the waters off Catalina
Island in November 1981 are
“not clearly established.”
The changes occurred nine
months after sheriff’s homicide
investigators renewed their inquiry into Wood’s death shortly
before its 30th anniversary.
Chief of Detectives William
McSweeney said the decision to
amend the death certificate was
ultimately made by the coroner’s
office, which has been instructed
by detectives not to discuss the
case. “I would just say undetermined is descriptive,” he said.
McSweeney said detectives
still have work to do on the
case, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that a major shift is
coming.
“We don’t close these cases,”
he said. “These cases have ac-
tive periods and more passive
periods. We’re moving toward
the end of an active period.”
The changes to the death certificate were approved by Los
Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lakshmanan
Sathyavagiswaran in late June,
but they were not formally recorded until Aug. 1. The certificate wasn’t made public until
just recently.
Conflicting versions of what
happened on the yacht shared
by Wood, her actor-husband
Robert Wagner and their friend,
actor Christopher Walken,
have contributed to the mystery of how the actress died on
Thanksgiving weekend in 1981.
Authorities have said Wagner is
not a suspect in his wife’s death.
Investigators re-opened the
case last November but have released few details about its progress. They traveled to Hawaii to
inspect the Splendour, the yacht
the trio was aboard on the night
of Wood’s disappearance.
The renewed inquiry came
after the boat’s captain, Dennis
Davern, told “48 Hours Mystery” and the “Today” show
that he heard Wagner and Wood
arguing the night of her disappearance and believed Wagner
was to blame for her death.
Wagner wrote in a 2008
memoir that he and Walken argued that night. He wrote that
Walken went to bed and he
stayed up for a while, but when
he went to bed, he noticed that
his wife and a dinghy attached
to the yacht were missing.
Wagner has said through a
spokesman that he expects the
sheriff’s department to conduct
a fair investigation. An email
seeking comment Tuesday was
not returned.
Wood was nominated for
three Academy Awards during
her lifetime. Her death stunned
the world and has remained
one of Hollywood’s most enduring mysteries. The original
detective on the case, Wagner,
Walken and until recently, the
coroner’s office, have all said
they considered her death an
accident.

the hope that it will inspire young men to become SEALs.
If the book sticks to his
personal thoughts about
the job and the mission,
Owen may be in the clear.
But often special operations forces must sign
nondisclosure agreements.
And they are not allowed
to release classified information, such as intelligence data or military tactics and procedures used
to ensure success of the
May 2011 raid.
Christine Ball, a spokeswoman for Dutton, said
the work was vetted by a
former special operations
attorney provided by the
author.
“He vetted it for tactical, technical and procedural information as well
as information that could
be considered classified
by compilation and found
it to be without risk to national security,” Ball said.
Defense
Department
spokesman Lt. Col. James
Gregory said that if the
book reveals classified information about the raid,
the Pentagon would “defer
to the Department of Justice.”
According to Pentagon
regulations, retired personnel, former employees
and non-active duty members of the Reserves “shall
use the DoD security review process to ensure
that information they submit for public release does
not compromise national
security.”
The CIA also could
weigh in because the
agency ran the secret bin
Laden mission.
If there is classified in-
formation in the book, the
former SEAL could face
criminal charges. And even
if he donates the money to
charity, for instance, that
is unlikely to prevent the
Justice Department from
suing to collect any future
book proceeds.
Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled a CIA whistle-blower had to forfeit future money he earned from
a scathing book he wrote
about the spy agency after
he failed to get approval
from his former employer
before publication.
The CIA accused the

officer of breaking his secrecy agreement with the
U.S. The former officer,
who worked deep undercover, published the book
in July 2008 using the
pseudonym Ishmael Jones.
The CIA said his book,
“The Human Factor: Inside
the CIA’s Dysfunctional
Intelligence Culture,” was
submitted to the agency’s
publications review board
under a secrecy agreement
that covers books written
by former employees. But
Jones, who published the
book before the review
process was completed,
said it contained no classified information.
In 2010, the Defense Department claimed a former
Army intelligence officer’s
war memoir threatened
national security. The Pentagon paid $47,000 to destroy 9,500 copies of the
book, called “Operation
Dark Heart: Spycraft and
Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan —
and the Path to Victory.”
The book was written
by Anthony Shaffer, whose
lawyer said the Army Reserve cleared the manuscript beforehand but the
Defense Department later
rescinded the approval,
claiming the text contained classified information.
Shaffer and the publisher agreed to remove the
material.
Dutton,
which
announced the book’s pending release Wednesday, is
planning a major first print
run of 300,000 copies, Ball
said. The co-author, journalist Kevin Maurer, has
worked on four previous
books.

Bill would start Ohio schools after Labor Day
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Ohio lawmakers who want public
schools to wait until after Labor
Day to start classes say the state’s
tourism industry loses business
when kids go back to school too
early.
State Rep. Bill Hayes, a cosponsor of the proposed legislation, says one reason for the bill
was to see if having schools open
would help tourism, which he
says is the state’s third-biggest industry, The Columbus Dispatch
reported.
By extending the summer vacation season, the tourism and
recreation industry can “thrive
and generate revenue for the
economy that’s suffering so
terribly in the state,” according to Hayes. That would also
generate state revenue, part
of which gets passed down to
public schools, he said.
Ohio school districts now set
their own calendars, with many
starting in middle or late August.
The same bill also would determine the length of the school
year based on the number of
hours students are in class, not
the number of days. Under current Ohio law schools must be
open 182 days. That number,
Hayes said, includes days when
classes are not in session, such as
teacher conference days.
Representatives of the Ohio
School Boards Association and
the Ohio Association of School
Business Officials were among
those testifying against the bill
Wednesday before the House
Education Committee.
“If the goal is for our students
to be better equipped to compete
in a global economy, placing re-
strictions on when districts can
conduct school is not the answer,” said Damon Asbury, director of legislative services for the
school boards association.
The bill would require secondary-school students to be in class
a minimum of 1,001 hours during
the school year, with fewer hours
for younger students.
Marc Schare, a member of the
Worthington school board in suburban Columbus, testified that
the legislation is “essentially allowing us to shave five full weeks
off the school year” and could reduce the quality of education.
The Worthington board approved a resolution asking the
General Assembly and Gov. John
Kasich to reject or veto the legislation.
The bill would give school districts a way to opt out of the post-
Labor Day requirement if they
hold a public hearing and their
school board votes on a new start
date, Hayes said. Schools would
not be permitted to decrease
class hours without school board
approval.
Hayes, a Licking County Republican, said that he thinks the
bill will increase educational time
in many districts.
Hayes’ legislative aide, Sam
Smith, said Thursday that the
bill also would give schools more
flexibility in scheduling that
could result in reduced costs for
transportation and other school
operations.
Messages left Thursday for
Ohio Congress of Parents and
Teachers officials were not immediately returned.
Tammy Wallace, the mother
of two high school students in
Worthington, was not familiar
with the bill’s specifics. But generally “a longer summer is not going to be economically friendly to
working parents, especially those
with younger children,” she said
in a telephone interview.
“It would not have helped me
when my children were younger
because that’s another week or
two you have to arrange to send
them somewhere,” she said.
Jackie Arendt, whose two
high school-age children attend schools in northeast Ohio’s
North Royalton, wrote in an
email that she doesn’t “see any
logic to mandating state control
over the school calendar year.”
She believes local school districts
should be receiving more financial support from the state.
UK newspapers steer clear of naked Harry photos
tarnished the entire British
media.
With the inquiry considering whether to impose
stricter limits on press
freedom, many feel the tabloids are staying away from
kiss-and-tells and celebrity scoops that they once
would have relished.
Neil Wallis, a former
News of the World executive editor, said fallout
from the hacking scandal
had left newspapers “terrified of their own shadow.”
“In this post-Leveson era
… they daren’t do things
that most of the country,
if they saw it in the newspaper, would think ‘that’s a
bit of a laugh,’” Wallis told
the BBC.
While newspapers including The Sun and the
Daily Mirror proclaimed
that the naked photos had
been “banned,” that is not
strictly true.
Prince Harry’s office
confirmed it had contacted industry watchdog the
Press Complaints Commission, which in turn advised
newspapers not to publish
the pictures. Any paper
that ran them risks being
chastised by the commission, which can demand a
newspaper publish an apology, but has no power to issue fines.
They could also potentially be open to an
invasion-of-privacy lawsuit
from the prince.
Once, editors might have
risked it, arguing that pub-
lishing the images was in
the public interest because
Harry is a public — and
publicly funded — figure.
Satchwell acknowledged
there was a risk Leveson’s
inquiry could chill press
freedom. But he said newspapers were simply behaving responsibly over Harry.
“Of course freedom of
the press is vitally, vitally
important,” he said. “But
just because you can publish something doesn’t
mean that you should.”

tamed Britain’s once-rambunctious press.
Newspapers were exposed to a trial of public
opinion as Judge Brian
Leveson’s media ethics inquiry heard from celebrities, politicians and crime
victims who said their lives
had been turned upside
down by press intrusion.
The scandal has killed
one tabloid, the News of
the World — shut down by
owner Rupert Murdoch after revelations about its illegal eavesdropping — and
60339363
LONDON (AP) — The
prince has no clothes —
but British newspapers
aren’t running the pictures.
The country’s scandalloving tabloids devoted
many pages Thursday to
the story of Prince Harry’s
naked romp in a Las Vegas
hotel suite. But all heeded a
warning from royal officials
that printing the images —
already seen by millions on
the Internet — would infringe the prince’s privacy.
So while Ireland’s Evening Herald ran the starknaked prince on its front
page, British newspapers
made do with pictures of
holiday Harry in bathing
trunks and fedora hat.
The Sun tabloid came
up with the most creative
solution, getting a staff
member named Harry and
a 21-year-old female intern
to recreate the naked pose
under the headline “Harry
grabs the crown jewels.”

Executor is cool under Jackson family pressure
LOS ANGELES (AP) — While
family members squabble in public over Michael Jackson’s money,
the man who holds the purse
strings of the estate is a calm center of the storm.
As co-executor of Jackson’s will,
John Branca chooses to ignore the
erupting dramas and personal
attacks and keeps his eye on the
future, which he says belongs to
Jackson’s mother and children and
to the pop star’s musical legacy.
He and co-executor John McClain have been successfully pursuing projects to pay off a mountain of debt left by the superstar,
to assure the financial future of
his three children and to guarantee that Jackson’s music will live
forever.
“When Michael Jackson died,
he was near bankruptcy,” said
Branca, suggesting the future for
his three young children was uncertain. “Now we know the kids
will be OK.”
Branca sat down recently with
The Associated Press to discuss
the current state of the Jackson
estate and projects to preserve
Jackson’s image as the King of
Pop. But he resolutely refused to
address the elephant in the room
— recent attacks on him and McClain by some Jackson siblings
who were left out of their brother’s will.
They sent a lengthy letter that
became public accusing the executors of deceit and manipulation
of their mother and claiming that
Jackson’s will was a fraud. They
have not taken any court action
and legal experts say the time to
challenge the will, which disinherited them, is long past.
Branca and McClain issued a
statement calling the accusations
“false and defamatory,” adding
“we are especially disheartened
that they come at a time when remarkable progress is being made
to secure the financial future of
his children …”
Secure in his knowledge that all
four of Jackson’s wills named him
as executor, Branca continues to
make deals for the Jackson estate
that are generating millions in revenue. This week, they announced
an agreement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing to administer Jackson’s Mijac Music catalog, which
includes such hits as “Beat It” and
“Billie Jean.” The deal is expected
to generate enough revenues to
pay off a remaining $5 million
loan by year’s end.
Since Jackson’s death on June
25, 2009, Branca said the singer’s
personal debt of $200 million has
been paid off and another $300
million tied to his ownership of
the Sony and ATV catalogs has
been renegotiated.
“Michael had a will and a trust
and that’s what we follow,” he
said.
The estate pays Mrs. Jackson
$70,000 a month for the children’s
support, pays the rent on their
mansion in Calabasas, and is picking up bills for other expenses including renovation of their Encino
home.
Branca’s AP interview was his
indirect response to accusations
by Janet, Jermaine, Randy and
Rebbie Jackson that the estate
was being mishandled. Jermaine
later disavowed the incendiary
letter and called for peace in the
family. But Janet, Randy and Rebbie fired back with a letter of their
own reiterating their complaints.
Brimming with excitement,
Branca spoke of upcoming ventures he thinks would have delighted Jackson, especially a
permanent Jackson-themed extravaganza on the Las Vegas Strip.
It comes on the heels of the Cirque
du Soleil Jackson tribute show,
“Immortal: The World Tour.”
“The Lion King” theater at
the Mandalay Bay Hotel is being
rebuilt to house the still untitled
show, also a Cirque du Soleil production, which is set to open May
23, 2013.
“It will be highly theatrical and
completely different from the
arena show, which was more of
a concert,” Branca said. “We will
have the opportunity to create
something special and groundbreaking.”
Declining to reveal all of the
technical wizardry planned, he
said, “We’ve got all kinds of tricks
up our sleeves.”
Every seat will have its own
speakers, while the walls and ceiling will be used to create “a totally
immersive experience for the audience,” he said.
Unlike the touring show, there
will be no live band and all music
will come from remixes of Jackson’s recordings.
Branca and co-executor McClain, a reclusive recording executive, say they understand Jackson’s desires to take care of his
mother and children — Prince,
Paris and Blanket — financially
and keep his music alive.
“We feel Michael entrusted us
with his legacy and with the future of his mother and children,”
Branca said. “We’re honored and
proud and passionate about celebrating Michael. It’s a labor of
love for us. We love Michael.”
Branca met Jackson in 1980
when both were just starting out.
They would go on to legendary
success together but there were
also some rocky times. During
more than two decades together,
they had two three-year periods
of estrangement over business
disagreements.
Branca was rehired by Jackson
a month before he died, with instructions to draft an agenda for
future business deals. Branca
presented the plan a week before
Jackson died and it has been the
roadmap for the estate’s posthumous enterprises.
In addition to the upcoming
Las Vegas show, a new album and
a concert DVD will be released
soon celebrating the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s “BAD” album.
Then a two-hour documentary by
acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee on
the making of “BAD” will show at
the Toronto and Venice film festivals next month.
The anniversary promotions
include a deal with Pepsi to put
silhouettes of Jackson on a billion
cans of soda in 20 countries.
And this week, the Cirque du
Soleil traveling show begins an
international tour to Mexico, Europe and perhaps Asia.
Mitt Romney turns to Ohio amidst distractions
POWELL, Ohio (AP)

in November’s election.
The appeal came as the former Massachusetts governor
tried to shrug off a series of

entrepreneurs out there, if
we become president and
vice president, we want to
speak to you, we want to help
you,” Romney said with running mate Paul Ryan at his
side during an outdoor rally
that drew an estimated 5,000
people to the Columbus area.
“Women in this country are
more likely to start businesses than men. Women need
our help.”
The promise comes as
Republicans face difficult
questions about the party’s
position on abortion after a
Missouri Senate candidate’s
recent suggestion that wom-
en’s bodies can prevent pregnancy in cases of “legitimate
rape.”
It also comes less than
24 hours after Romney raising the discredited rumor
that Obama wasn’t born in
the United States. The comment, and Romney’s efforts
to explain it, overshadowed
his economic message as he
campaigned near his Michigan birthplace on Friday.
Romney did not repeat
the remark on Saturday, but
instead assailed the Democratic incumbent for failing
to deliver on his campaign
promises.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,
Aug. 25, 2012:
This year you could be overwhelmed by how much you do, or
have to do. The good news is that,
because you handle responsibilities
well, you could be in line for a pay
raise. You also seem to be able to
understand yourself well. If you are
single, you might attract someone who
is rarely understood by others, but who
you seem to get. You’ll enjoy that role.
If you are attached, you find weekends
away together to be good both for the
soul and for the bond between the two
of you. SAGITTARIUS often might
irritate 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)
HHHH Reach out for someone at
a distance, or make plans to visit this
person. You might have quite a few
people you have not spent time with
in a while. Expect a lot of activity, and
understand that you are the one who
triggered it. A serious partner seems to
lighten up. Tonight: Opt for adventure,
not the same old ho-hum thing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH A partnership (and maybe
not yours) demands attention. Whether
you’re helping a couple or actively
relating to a partner or loved one,
you have your hands happily full. You
might not have the fiery get-up-and-go
that others have, but you more than
make up for it today. Tonight: How
about dinner for two?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Make it your pleasure
to defer to a friend, family member
or loved one. You could afford to be
docile and supportive, as you also
demand a lot of support and feedback
at times. A child or loved one is overserious. You know how to help this
person lighten up. Tonight: Go with an
offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH Plunge into a project that
you feel has been on the back burner
for too long. Your ability to listen and
honor others’ ideas is high. Feel free
to reject their ideas as well. You have
a strong sense of what works for you.
Let go of an uptight attitude. Tonight:
Choose only what you want to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH You certainly know how to
take a day off and enjoy yourself. Your
choices vary according to your age
and lifestyle. Choose something you
absolutely love to do and share it with
someone else. Clearly, you understand
Horoscope
the benefits of give-and-take on all levels. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Share more often with a
roommate or family member. You want
the strength and support of that bond
to stay intact. An opportunity arises
surrounding a responsibility, a superior
and/or work. Trust your abilities to balance these different factions in your
life. Tonight: Time for some relaxation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH You continue to communicate as you always have, but you
discover that others now immediately
grasp what you are saying. See the
difference a day or so makes? A call
is packed with good news, which puts
a smile on your face all day long!
Tonight: Enjoy visiting over dinner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Do some price comparison
before buying a big item. You still
might go overboard, but at least
you’ll know why you chose what you
did. This realization might eliminate
any guilt. Do not let any negativity or
insecurity impact your mood. Tonight:
Treating again?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You whiz by others with a
smile and lots of energy. Sure enough,
certain people will want to know more.
Expect inquiries, calls and tentative
invitations. (The people doing the
inviting probably want to join you in
your good mood.) Tonight: Only what
makes you smile.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Take a step back from the
here and now, especially if you have
been negative or judgmental as of late.
Try to walk in someone else’s shoes
in order to understand where this person is coming from. You will be more
open-minded as a result. Tonight: No
crowds, please.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Go where your friends are
and where life at times seems silly yet
meaningful. Your group of pals is one
of the most important parts of your
life. Do not get into anything that could
prevent you from your primary agenda.
Tonight: Let the party continue.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Visit with an older friend or relative. This person enjoys your company and values your presence far more
than you might realize. If you want to
make other plans, do so, but only after
you make this trip. Good news occurs
on the homefront. Tonight: Visible and
loving the moment.
