McTurner, 65 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 154 Free parking no longer available in Pomeroy Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — Effective immediately, free parking on the Pomeroy parking lot will no longer be available. That was the decision made on Monday evening by Pomeroy Village Council. Bags, which had covered the meters, were removed on Tuesday morning. Ten spaces, to be selected at a later date, will be es- tablished for free parking. President of the Pomeroy Merchants Association Dan Short spoke with council concerning the free parking during Monday’s meeting. Free parking had been in place on the parking lot since mid-March. Members of council, Short and Police Chief Mark Proffitt noted that while the parking has allowed for customers to park, it has been abused by some, as well. Short and Proffitt mentioned that some of those living above the downtown businesses were using the free spaces on a regular basis, along with a few employees and business owners in the downtown area. Short suggested to council that — instead the current plan, which made parking on the side away from the river free — 10 spaces throughout the lot be designated as free spaces for customers to park. Spaces for free parking will be marked by permanent signs to be placed when the free parking is made available. The village has, in past years, also provided free parking in the downtown area from Thanksgiving to Christmas as part of the holiday shopping season. It is unclear if the free spaces being designated on the parking lot will affect the traditional free holiday season parking. Parking spaces along the river side of the parking lot are avail- able as reserved spaces with the purchase of a permit. The permits may be purchased at Pomeroy Village Hall. Present at the council meeting were council members Jackie Welker, Robert Payne, Dru Reed, Ruth Spaun, Phil Ohlinger and Vic Young, as well as Mayor Mary McAngus and clerk Sonya Wolfe. More on Monday’s council meeting will appear in an upcoming edition of The Daily Sentinel. Heartland Publications’ papers to join Civitas Media, LLC Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Sentinel The firefighters pass beneath the American flag in their march to the riverfront amphitheater. 9/11 Memorial March honors lost firefighters POMEROY — A 9/11 Memorial March in remembrance of the 343 New York firefighters who lost their lives in rescue efforts following the enemy attack on the World Trade Center, was held Sunday by the New Haven Volunteer Fire Department. Area firefighters joined the march which began at New Haven, moved down the river, across the bridge, and into Pomeroy where they marched down Main Street led by the honor guard of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion. As the firemen walked toward the riverside amphitheater they passed beneath a large American flag extended high in the air from the ladders of the Pomeroy and Middleport fire trucks. Once in the amphitheater a short ceremony was held with patriotic music and readings in tribute to the lost firefighters after which a memorial wreath was placed in the Ohio River. PHILADELPHIA, PA — Versa Capital Management, LLC, a private equity investment firm, today announced the creation of Civitas Media, LLC, a new community news media company. Civitas, pronounced Si-vi-tas, a Latin word meaning “community” or “citizen”, combines four media entities owned by Versa: Freedom Central, Heartland Publications, Impressions Media and Ohio Community Media. Group member Heartland Publications previously owned the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel in Ohio and the Point Pleasant Register in West Virginia. “We have assembled an excellent group of community news publishers over the past 15 months, and combining them together under the Civitas umbrella is a logical and value-enhancing result,” stated Versa’s CEO Gregory L. Segall. “Community-based media has remained profitable and largely avoided the level of financial pressure experienced by large daily metros in recent years. They are the principal source of information and news content, as well as the primary advertising vehicles for their communities, whether in print or online, and we see a more stable and resilient future for this sector.” Civitas, which now employs 1,650 people at 99 locations across 12 states in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South, serves its communities through its dedication to the delivery of local information, including news and advertising solutions, across a variety of platforms. These communities are served by 35 local daily newspapers, including 28 with weekend editions, as well as 63 weekly products. These papers have a combined average weekly circulation of 1.6 million. Civitas also serves these communities with numerous free, advertisement-supported publications and a growing online presence. In addition, Civitas publishes specialty products such as local community directories, See CIVITAS ‌| 2 Southern Accent ABOVE, Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion, honor guard leads the 9/11 Memorial March firefighters onto the Pomeroy parking lot.

It also means the election season is in full swing. This year, I am proud of the steps we are taking in each of the state’s 88 counties to ensure busy schedules won’t keep hard-working Ohioans from participating. In fact, starting on October 2, you can vote any hour of the day and without ever leaving your homes. Registered voters should keep an eye out for an official absentee ballot application in the mail. This election marks the first time applications will be sent to all voters across the state. You’ll know it by the official Secretary of State seal and because it will have your name and address pre-printed, just as it appears in the voter file. By simply completing the three security fields and mailing it back to your county board of elections in the envelope provided, you’ll be slated to receive your ballot in the mail. No juggling schedules. No waiting in line. Your kitchen table can be your voting booth and you’ll have more than 750 hours to complete your ballot at the time that works best for you. Though many surrounding states don’t offer this method of voting, voting by mail has become increasingly popular in Ohio. It’s both convenient and secure. Completed ballots can be sealed and mailed back to be included in the Election Day tally, or, if you prefer, you can drop them off at your local board of elections (no later than Election Day on November 6, 2012). Why does marriage matter so much? Mary Jo Kilroy For the happy couple in love, marriage means solidifying their commitment to one another, declaring that that their love is strong and lasting. It means standing before family and friends and becoming a new family that is also a part of each other’s extended family. Marriage means that through good times and bad, sickness and health, they are committed to be there for each other, to stay together through old age, ‘til death do us part. The importance of the bond of marriage for raising a family together and for providing companionship and comfort in senior years is recognized by our society in the form of the myriad of laws, and benefits, covering everything from adoption, health care, inheritance, pensions and social security. The meaning of marriage is no different for heterosexual couples and couples of the same gender, except Ohio law bans same gender civil marriage and civil unions. This prohibition denies so many loving couples the benefits and protections of marriage simply because of whom he or she fell in love with and wants to marry. Our United States Constitution grants each of us the equal protection of the laws, yet this inequality and discrimination continues in Ohio. More and more states have enacted marriage equality through legislation, but Ohio cannot do so because of the marriage ban that was voted into Ohio’s Constitution in 2004. It is time to rectify that situation and Freedom Ohio has begun an initiative campaign to put the issue once again before Ohio voters. Freedom Ohio is gathering signatures to place an amendment to Ohio’s Constitution on the ballot in 2013 that simply allows an adult couple to marry regardless of the gender of the person he or she loves, provided they do not have another spouse and otherwise follow Ohio’s laws on marriage. The amendment explicitly applies only to civil marriage. The amendment provides that religious institutions would continue to decide for themselves whether or not to perform or recognize a marriage, thus respecting religious freedom, while providing fairness to those couples who are now forbidden to marry. Since 2004 when the Ohio marriage ban was put in place, there have been huge changes in public opinion with President Obama recently announcing support for same-sex marriage and 11 states allowing either civil union or marriage for same-sex couples. Gay and lesbian couples who have been together for decades should not have to wait any longer to marry the person he or she loves. Children who are being parented by a gay or lesbian couple should have the security of a law permitting both partners to adopt them, something now precluded by the marriage ban. Each of these situations leaves the surviving partner and children without the protections of social security, pension, and estate tax laws that benefit heterosexual couples. This form of discrimination inflicts damage in these and many other ways. Ohio voters can choose fairness and justice for all of Ohio’s families. Where there is love, let there be marriage. Mary Jo Kilroy formerly represented Ohio’s 15th Congressional District. She is helping to lead the Freedom Ohio campaign for marriage equality.

(AP) — A business executive who gunned down a police officer responding to a trouble call at his suburban Detroit house committed suicide, an autopsy found Tuesday. Ricky Coley, 50, killed himself with a gunshot to the mouth, said Dr. Cheryl Loewe of the Oakland County medical examiner’s office. Authorities said Coley fired through a wall and door as police approached his room Sunday night, killing Officer Pat O’Rourke and precipitating a 20-hour armed standoff that ended Monday with Coley dead in a weapons-strewn bedroom. The businessman, who Ricky Coley, 50, and his wife had recently divorced and federal authorities filed a lawsuit accusing him of mishandling employees’ insurance funds. was going through legal and marital turmoil, shot O’Rourke as officers re- sponded to a report of a possible suicide attempt at his home in the affluent community of West Bloomfield Township. About 15 families were evacuated from nearby homes during the standoff. Coley and his wife had recently divorced and federal authorities filed a lawsuit accusing him of mishandling employees’ insurance funds. Coley worked at Ford Motor Co. and at General Motors, which employed him in its information technology section from 1996 to 2001, said GM spokesman Greg Martin. The U.S. Labor Department recently filed a lawsuit accusing Coley of mishan- dling money that was supposed to cover employee insurance at a Bad Axe, Mich., trucking company, Translogic Auto Carriers, which has been controlled by Cole’s private equity company CNC Holdings since 2008. West Bloomfield Township police said they were also called to his home about a month ago because he was reportedly suicidal. O’Rourke, a West Bloomfield officer for 12 years, was married and had four children. A vigil for O’Rourke is planned for Tuesday night outside the West Bloomfield Township police station. A funeral Mass is scheduled for Friday.

Biden, in Ohio tour, says it feels like home CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — He buddied up with bikers, posed for countless pictures at a pizza place and downed an ice cream cone at a Dairy Queen. Joe Biden loves Ohio. The only question now is whether Ohio loves him — and President Barack Obama. The vice president toured the state by car over the weekend in a journey that was part campaign rally, part family road trip. Biden, accompanied by his sister, Valerie, and former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a longtime friend, said rural southern Ohio reminds him of northeastern Pennsylvania, where he grew up in Scranton. “This is kind of like coming home,” he told a crowd in Portsmouth, near the Kentucky state line. “I feel really comfortable here. I’ve been here a lot — and I plan on coming back a lot.” Biden makes good on that promise Wednesday, when he campaigns in Dayton — his third trip to Ohio in the past two weeks. Biden’s frequent visits underscore Ohio’s role as a crucial battleground in the race for president. No Republican has won the presidency without winning Ohio, and Biden and Obama are doing everything they can to make sure the state’s 18 electoral votes stay in the Democratic column. Both Republicans and Democrats say internal surveys show a tight race in Ohio, with Obama narrowly ahead. Biden’s two-day tour through central and southern Ohio took him through parts of the state where Obama is faring the worst. Largely white and working class, towns such as Portsmouth and Zanesville were hit hard by the recession and have keenly felt the loss of manufacturing jobs in the past decade. The Obama campaign believes Biden’s middle-class roots and Everyman style fit rural Ohio, and they have tapped him as a top ambassador to working-class families. In a fiery speech before about 500 people at Zane Grey Elementary, Biden accused Republican Mitt Romney of pursuing policies that would crush the auto industry and other manufacturers. “Do the folks in Ohio really think that Gov. Romney, with his views on outsourcing, with his views on General Motors and Chrysler and beyond that, do they honestly believe that if he had been president the last four years that today, that there would be today 115,000 auto jobs in Ohio?” Biden said at the school in Zanesville, a town which won brief fame last year as the place where lions and tigers were released from private cages and then killed. Zanesville is about 55 miles east of Columbus. While his speeches were filled with attacks against Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, Biden also took time to make a more informal connection with Ohio voters, as he stopped — sometimes for more than an hour at a time — at restaurants and a local campaign office. His visit to a Seaman, Ohio, diner instantly became a famous campaign moment, after an Associated Press photo of Biden cozying up with a female biker went viral. At that stop and others, Biden hugged supporters, joked about interrupting their meals and listened intently as Ohioans told him their stories. He declined no photo requests through two full days — and always there was a search for connection. “Where’d you live in Delaware? Newark? You’re kidding me!” he told a voter in Chillicothe, in southern Ohio. “I’m glad you know what team you’re on. I’m on your team.” Biden was speaking to the man by cellphone after he grabbed it from a campaign volunteer who was making calls as part of a “weekend of action” to round up support for Democrats in Ohio’s coal country. Biden initially was talking to the man’s wife, but demanded to speak to her husband after learning he was originally from Delaware. Biden, a former Delaware senator, had an animated conversation as a roomful of reporters and campaign volunteers looked on. Minutes later, the man, Jack Woods, showed up at the campaign office — just as Biden had requested. “He knew me when,” Biden said as he and Woods posed for a picture. Earlier, during a visit to a pizza parlor in Jackson, Ohio, Biden faced a tougher crowd. “All you wanted was a quiet dinner and the vice president shows up,” he said to no one in particular as he entered Cardo’s Pizza. The restaurant’s customers were friendly to Biden and some posed for pictures with him. But many at the restaurant in the heavily Republican area said they had no plans to vote for Obama and Biden. The store’s owner, John Moore, a father of four who has owned Cardo’s for 23 years, politely chatted with Biden, but said later that he does not support the Democratic ticket. Moore opposes abortion. Moore quipped about the VP’s visit: “Someone asked me if this happens every Saturday night. I said: ‘World leaders come here every Saturday night.’” Sydney Humphreys, an 11-yearold cheerleader who was eating dinner with her family, said “it was pretty cool” to meet the vice president. But she, too, said she is not a supporter. She’s a Romney fan. Biden took little notice of his hosts’ political leanings, hugging or high-fiving nearly everyone he saw after four formal campaign speeches and an equal number of informal stops. He frequently noted red-clad Ohio State Buckeye fans, out in force on a football Saturday. Chatting with a football coach in Jackson, Biden said: “The most exciting night of my life was Friday night. That’s when I’d play ball.” Cathy Pool, 48, of Chillicothe, sporting a red Ohio State T-shirt, told Biden that she and her partner of nearly 25 years, Mendy Yates, were celebrating their anniversary this year. Ohio law prohibits them from marrying, but Biden told Pool, “It’s going to happen.” Biden’s words “meant everything in the world to me,” said Pool, a nurse who started volunteering for Obama a month ago after Romney visited Chillicothe. “It’s nice to be acknowledged.” While crowds at Biden’s speeches were small — he spoke to fewer than 2,600 people over two days — they were enthusiastic. Strickland, the former governor, traveled with Biden all weekend and introduced him at all four speeches. Obama doesn’t have to win southern Ohio for the intense effort here to pay off, Strickland said. “If we can increase the percentage (of the Obama vote) from 39 percent to 43 percent, that may be enough” to win the state, he said. The winner in Ohio, he said, is likely to be the winner nationwide. 6 federal courthouses in South to close WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judiciary said Tuesday it will close six courthouses in the South because of inadequate funding from Congress and the prospect of more drastic cuts. The courthouses to be closed are in Gadsen, Ala.; Pikeville, Ky.; Meridian, Miss.; Wilkesboro, N.C.; Beaufort, S.C.; and Amarillo, Texas, the Judicial Conference said. The closures are expected to save $1 million a year in rent. The judiciary said it could see its budget cut by more than $500 million if Congress fails to reach a budget deal and automatic across-the-board spending cuts kick in next year. None of the facilities to be closed has a judge who is based there. Instead, judges travel from larger cities as needed. They were chosen from among 60 courthouses in 29 states. There are 674 federal courthouses around the country. The closings were ordered by the Judicial Conference of the United States, a group of 27 judges led by Chief Justice John Roberts that sets policy for the federal courts. The group met Tuesday at the Supreme Court. With Pre-Need Planning, You make the most important decisions about Your service So Your Family doesn’t have to.

The host Lady Eagles (6-1) won their third straight match of the season and their sixth straight decision over the Lady Marauders, who fell to 0-5 over- all this fall. Meigs last defeated Eastern on September 9, 2009 by a 22-25, 25-10, 25-20, 25-20 margin at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Lady Eagles struggles early on from the service line, recording four of their six misses in the opening game. EHS, however, managed 21 of their 44 kills in that opening game — which resulted in a four-point win and an early 1-0 lead. The hosts never looked back from there, winning the final two games by eight and a dozen points to wrap up the 3-0 match decision. Ally Hendrix led the EHS service attack with 15 points, followed by Maddie Rigsby with 10 points and Kiki Osborne with seven points. Erin Swatzel contributed six points to the winning cause, while Gabby Hendrix and Jordan Parker rounded out the respective totals with three and two points. Parker led the net attack with 12 kills and three blocks, while Swatzel chipped in 11 kills and a team-high four blocks. Rigsby added nine kills and a block, followed by Osborne with six kills and Katie Keller with four kills and two blocks. Ally Hendrix had two kills to go along with a team-best 52 assists. Gabby Hendrix also had a teamhigh 27 digs. The Lady Marauders finished the night 48-of-53 from the service line while also recording team totals of 19 kills and four blocks. Brook Andrus and Brooke Reynolds both paced MHS with five service points apiece, followed by three each from Lindsay Patterson and Emily Kinnan. Olivia Cremeans and Alyson Dettwiller rounded out the respective point totals with two and one. Kinnan led the net attack with eight kills and three blocks, followed by Andrus with five kills and Mercadies George with three kills. Hannah Cremeans added two kills and a block, while Olivia Cremeans finished things out with a kill. Patterson also had a teamhigh 15 assists in the setback.

Uh-uh. Not even close. Not for now, anyway. The Bengals were shredded in just about every way Monday night during a 44-13 loss in Baltimore that matched the worst opening-game defeat in franchise history. Joe Flacco threw for 299 yards in little more than three quarters, and the Ravens piled up yards with one big play after another. Stunning stat: Baltimore ran 58 plays and 20 of them went for at least 10 yards. “It was opening night, we were on national TV and we laid an egg,” running back BenJarvis Green-Ellis said. That egg was pretty scrambled, too. The Bengals (0-1) were ready for the Ravens’ no-huddle offense, prepared to see a lot of deep throws, expecting Ray Rice to get the ball when Baltimore needed a big play. They saw it all coming and couldn’t stop any of it. “There were no busted coverages or anything like that that I can remember,” cornerback Leon Hall said. “We just got outplayed.” It was especially troubling for a team that thought it was ready to take the next step. Cincinnati was one of three AFC North teams to reach the playoffs last season, going 9-7 en route to a wild card berth. The Bengals did it in part because of their favorable schedule — they went 0-7 against other playoff teams during the season, then lost to Houston in the first round of the playoffs. The opener against Baltimore was a chance to see if they’d made any progress that way. They were staggered on the opening play, a 52-yard completion to Torrey Smith. Flacco also had a 34-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin. In all, the Ravens had four plays that went for 20 or more yards. The worst part? Baltimore did nothing unexpected. The Ravens piled up 430 yards overall even though they went soft with a big lead in the fourth quarter. “It’s not like new math or anything,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “Those were things we expected to see.” It turned into one of the worst debuts in franchise history. The Bengals also lost an opener by 31 points in 1991, a 45-14 defeat in Denver. “Plain and simple, we got beat in all phases of the game,” middle linebacker Rey Maualuga said. “There’s no way else to put it. We just flat-out got beat and they took advantage of our mistakes, our turnovers, penalties. It’s just something that we have to learn from.” The defense wasn’t the only issue. An offensive line that’s already lost two starters to injury had trouble protecting Andy Dalton, who was sacked four times, fumbled once and threw an interception under pressure that Ed Reed returned 34 yards for a touchdown. Left guard Travelle Wharton tore up a knee during the preseason. Center Kyle Cook severely hurt his right ankle during the last preseason game, prompting the Bengals to sign free agent Jeff Faine, who hadn’t been with a team since March. Rookie Kevin Zeitler is starting at right guard. The Bengals expect to be much better on offense this season, now that Dalton and receiver A.J. Green have a year of NFL experience and the entire unit has had a whole season learning coordinator Jay Gruden’s West Coast offense.

Green-Ellis, signed as a free agent to diversify the running game, carried 18 times for 91 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Andrew Hawkins and Armon Binns provided a good complement to Green — Hawkins had eight catches for 86 yards, Binns four catches for 28. But just like last season, Miscellaneous when the Bengals had a chance to make a play and get that breakthrough win, they couldn’t do it. “I don’t think of it like a thud,” said Green, who had five catches for 70 yards. “It wasn’t consistent enough on offense, and that’s the biggest thing when you’re playing a veteran team like the Ravens.” They get a chance to fix a lot of things in the next few weeks, with the schedule loaded up with teams starting young quarterbacks. They play their home opener on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns (0-1), followed by games at Washington and Jacksonville, home against Miami and on the road against the Browns again. “Let’s get this out of the way and just get back to working,” Green said. �Wednesday, September 12, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, september 12, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012: You approach life with sensitivity, yet you demonstrate the ability to openly accept the many surprises that head down your path.
