According to a release issued by the the commissioners on Friday, the $3.5 million check was received on October 5 and has been deposited into the KA Sewer Project fund for the comple- tion of the system. Negotiations for the completion of the project began after the original contract for the sewer was terminated with Trimat Construction, Inc., in January of this year. The commission issued a seven-day notice of termination to the company on January 12, citing a “continued failure” to meet schedules and an “excessive amount of claims” placed on the project. After the termination, the project was turned over to the former contractor’s bonding company, the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, for completion. A letter issued on September 20 by the Gallia County Commissioners to the property owners affected by the sewer states that the the $3.5 million amount will allow for “adequate funding for project completion.” With the tendering of the check, the bonding company relinquished its responsibility for the completion of the project, handing that responsibility to the county commission. In the time since the termination of the original contract, the bonding company hired an outside company to “camera” and clear the entire gravity collection system in order to discover the areas of the project that need replaced. Reportedly, the entire system consists of 60,000 linear feet of sewer line and there is approximately 13,000 of that line that will need to be reconstructed as it, reportedly, does not meet project specifications. The letter issued to residents on September 20 further states that “Gallia County will also reclaim the areas disturbed by the Down home farm fun original project construction that are not within the areas that need reconstruction work. In the areas where reconstruction work is necessary, reclamation will be completed shortly after the construction work.” Friday’s release states that the commission is currently negotiating with contractors for the project completion and notices for connection to the southern-most areas in Kanaugua and on Ohio 7 to the bowling alley — areas served by lift stations “one” and “two” — will be forthcoming in See SEWER ‌| A2 CCA announces Emergency HEAP start date Staff report sfilson@heartlandpublications.com Photos by Amber Gillenwaterl Daily Sentinel Kids of all ages made their way to Rio Grande this weekend to take in the sights and sounds of the 42nd Annual Bob Evans Farm Festival. The view overlooking the amphitheater was breathtaking on Friday afternoon as lovers of Bluegrass stopped to enjoy the tunes of Marty Raybon & Full Circle. CHESHIRE — Gallia Meigs C.A.A.’s Emergency HEAP Program will begin on Nov. 1 and continue through March 31, 2013, Sandra Edwards, Emergency Services Division Director, announced today. She said that while the weather has turned colder and the agency is anxious to assist customers, the first day the CCA will be taking calls for appointments is Friday, Oct. 26, at 8 a..m. She said residents seeking assistance may either call or walk in to book an appointment, but cautioned that “an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off.” Edwards explained that Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas and up to $450 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/ bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750.

RIO GRANDE — One of the newest faculty members at The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College is making a worldwide impact. Alisa Neeman, Ph.D., an assistant professor of computer science at Rio Grande, is developing and upgrading software that can be used by scientists around the world. Earlier this year, the Athens resident was selected to take part in a $2 million National Institutes of Health grant project. The grant is titled, “Computational design of specific binding proteins using Leave-OneOut.” Neeman is working with principal investigator Chris Bystroff, a researcher at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, on the project. Neeman’s job is to help Bystroff’s team share use of his protein design software, which runs on a supercomputer at the Institute. A job she says is much easier said than done. In order to allow other scientists around the world to design proteins, special software had to be used to enable access to the supercomputer from remote locations. Enter Neeman. Neeman installed the Web server software and configured it to provide remote access. She worked with IT staff at Rensselaer Polytechnic’s supercomputing center, the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI), to create multiple levels of protection and keep the data secure.

Early-Retirement Withdrawals Stan Evans Registered Investment Advisor The recent recession has hit older workers disproportionately. Older workers generally spend a longer time looking for jobs once they’ve lost them. The sad result is that individuals are tapping retirement accounts to stay in their homes and fund other living expenses, as well as to pay for major life changes such as relocation or further education. IRA-withdrawal rules are particularly complicated, so this article will focus on one aspect of them in-depth: withdrawals based on the so-called 72(t) exception. Although it’s almost never ideal to raid your retirement accounts prematurely, this type of withdrawal may be useful for people who need additional cash to carry them through a specific period in their lives—before they’re eligible for a pension or Social Security, for example. In a nutshell, the 72(t) exception allows individuals who are younger than age 59 1/2 to avoid the 10% early-withdrawal penalty for premature IRA distributions. (It does not help you circumvent any taxes owed on the IRA, however; just the 10% penalty.) To take advantage of 72(t), individuals must receive their IRA assets in what the IRS calls “substantially equal period payments” for a period of at least five years. The payments must continue until the age of 59 1/2 or until five years have elapsed, whichever is longer. The net effect of that rule is that everyone using this exception will need to take withdrawals for at least five years, and younger folks will have to take distributions over many years. A 50-year-old woman, for example, would have to spread her distributions over 9 1/2 years, until she’s 59 1/2. Meanwhile, a 57-year-old man who initiates 72(t) distributions would need to take the distributions for five years until he turns 62, well after he’d already hit the 59 1/2-year mark. If you’ve begun taking 72(t) distributions but later determine you want to stop, you’ll owe the IRS the 10% penalties for early IRA distributions, plus interest. For that reason, it’s crucial to be will be assisted up to $350 also. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The income guidelines for both programs are the same, Edwards said. However, she explained that Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month period or three-month period for the test is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College is creating a new children’s theater group and is inviting young people from around the region to join. Greg Miller, Ph.D., director of cultural advancement at Rio Grande, explained that anyone between the ages of 6 and 16 who is interested in theater is encourage to join the new organization. No acting experience is necessary for those who want to join. All that is needed is an interest in theater and performing, the ability to attend rehearsals, and the willingness to work diligently as part of a group. The first production by the new group will be “Schoolhouse Scholars.” This brand new theater production will be based on the stories of area residents who attended one-room schoolhouses. Greg Miller and Lucia Colley are collecting stories from local residents who attended these schools, and are inviting people who would like to share their mem- ories of these schools to contact them. Miller and Colley are looking for people who would like to talk with them about items such as what their typical day was like at school, what some of their assignments were, what they did for lunch, what the buildings were like and what they did for fun. They are also putting together images of one-room schoolhouses in the region, and will use the photos in the production The production will also feature poems and songs that would have been common in the old one-room schools. The new play will be a fun way for audience members to learn more about an important part of our region’s history. It will also be an entertaining production that will also be a great learning experience for the cast members. A children’s theater group is a great way to learn about theater, but it also teaches those involved about public speaking and helps them gain self-confidence and selfesteem. This play promises to be a fun production for the cast members, and it income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these type situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also required that you provide a birth certificate for the primary applicant, social security cards for ALL household members and proof of Student ID or Report Card if over 18 and living in your household. You will also be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 200% calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a 1 person household is $22,340, 2 persons $30,260, 3 persons $38,180, 4 persons $46,100, 5 persons $54,020, and 6 persons $61,940. Households with more than six members should add an additional $7,920 to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP said. These experiences are helpful for students to understand how to apply the principles they are learning in the classroom. While Neeman is understandably busy she is still finding time to meet her new students and colleagues during her first semester teaching at Rio Grande. “It rocks,” Neeman said about her new university. “The students here are very engaged and motivated; they are probably the most respectful students I have ever met,” she added. As for the grant project, State University of New York at Buffalo’s Center for Computational Research is providing the Web server, server hardware, environmental power, cooling and support for the project under a grant from NYSTAR (New York State Division of Science, Technology and Innovation).

Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. and from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. However, she reminded that the agency cannot assist in the Emergency HEAP application process until Nov. 1.

It won’t make sense for those who need a lump sum to start a business or buy a vacation home because the whole point of 72(t) is that you’re receiving payments during a period of at least five years. Nor will 72(t) usually make sense for Roth IRA holders, who have a lot more flexibility in taking withdrawals than do traditional IRA holders. Finally, those who leave their former employers at age 55 or after and have assets in their old 401(k)s can take penaltyfree withdrawals directly from their accounts; rolling the assets into an IRA in order to facilitate 72(t) distributions wouldn’t be necessary.

Rio Grande announces children’s theater group CCA From Page A1 sure that substantially equal periodic payments will work for you. You don’t have to liquidate all of your IRA assets to take advantage of 72(t); if you have separate IRA accounts, you can withdraw from some and leave others alone. It’s also possible to reposition your assets in advance of a 72(t) distribution—that is, leave some money in an IRA to compound and grow while repositioning other assets in short-term securities for 72(t) distributions. Furthermore, though the majority of people using this distribution method are doing so with traditional IRA assets, it’s also possible to apply this distribution method to Roth assets. (This won’t often be desirable, however.) In general, 72(t) withdrawals will tend to make the most sense for people who need income during a certain period of time. And at the risk of stating the obvious, they’ll also be best for folks who have an alternate source of retirement funding besides the amount that they’re paying themselves through 72(t). On the flip side, using this withdrawal method can be complicated and paperwork in- ABUNDANT LIFE MINISTRIES Special Singing Each Night 60359361 Jared Sheets and is a vocalist in the Mudfork Blues Band, is a member of the Bobcat Swim Club, and attends the Harrisonville Presbyterian Church.

For Breast Cancer Awareness day on Oct. 18th. I think this is a great thing, my mother is a breast cancer survivor, as well as other members of my family and the message of early detection early cure is an important one to send. What’s bothering me about this is the plan to release hundreds of pink helium filled bal- loons into the air. In a county where all we really have to brag about is the natural beauty and amazing wildlife of the area, we’re going to sanction and allow something so environmentally unfriendly? These balloons burst and the slivered Reader provides vote of confidence for Ryan Smith Dear Editor, I am very impressed by Ryan Smith and want to take this opportunity to share with the voters in this area my experience with Mr. Smith. After “The Storm” on June 29, 2012, our emergency management director was doing all he could do to get supplies to our area that were needed for the people of Vinton County, without much success. Ryan Smith and Josh Mandel came to Vinton County to check on the damages and to see what was needed. Our County Auditor Cindy Owens-Waugh informed them that we were having [trouble] getting ice. Mr. Smith dropped what he was doing and immediately started making phone calls. He found us a truck load of ice and a way to get it delivered to us. On July 4, while most people were having a picnic and spending time with their families and friends, Mr. Ryan Smith, came to McArthur to make sure the truck load of ice was delivered. There were volunteers there from all parts of Vinton County to get this much needed ice unloaded and squared away. This ice was unloaded, bag by bag, into a freezer as other ice was being distributed to needy people. Mr. Ryan Smith joined the volunteers in helping us unload 20 pallets of ice. He worked side-by-side with the volunteers until all of the ice was unloaded. In my opinion, if Mr. Smith worked that hard on July 4, I feel he will work very hard for our area. I ask that you vote for Mr. Ryan Smith for State Representative. Thank You, Randy Yates Vinton County, Ohio pieces of latex fall as trash on the ground and into our waterways. Animals confuse them for food and eat them, or get tangled up in the ripped pieces of latex. I’m sure that there is some other way our young children can show their support for this worthy cause, while being shown how to do it in a way that is friendly to their environment, and to the county in which they live. Melissa VanCooney Pomeroy, Ohio Wilson takes stand for coal Dear Editor, For those of us in southeast and east Ohio, the coal industry has always been a way of life. Our fathers, grandfathers or sons have worked in the mines. Maybe we knew a neighbor or former classmate who worked at one of the many power plants that operate along our river. The economic impact, much like the coal itself, runs as a vein through our communities. This is our industry, and right now it is under attack. When I was in Washington, I fought to protect our coal industry. Burdensome EPA regulations impact more than just our mines. Over regulation is an assault on our local economy, property values and ultimately endanger our children’s schools. What Washington bureaucrats fail to realize is that when one mine is closed, the entire community pays the price. I fought in Washington sponsoring HR 6113 — a bill that would block the EPA from using federal funding to shutdown Appalachian mines. I stood up to my own party and voted against the disastrous Cap and Trade Bill that would apply an energy tax and have devastating affects on our power plants and ultimately our mining operations. I took this vote not as a Democrat but as a Congressman who was sent to Washington by his constituents to represent their best interests. My family has operated a small business in Belmont County for 114 years. Among my earliest memories was riding with my father, who operated our local ambulance to carry injured miners to the hospital. What outsiders fail to understand is that mining is a part of our entire community, not just a community unto itself. The War on Coal is a war on our way of life. I am proud to have the endorsement of the United Mine Workers of America and will continue to work to eliminate EPA overregulation when I return to Washington. Sincerely, Charlie Wilson Candidate for Congress 6th District Reader addresses Mormon questions Reader poses question: Are we being bamboozled? Dear Editor, Regarding a letter you received saying the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday-Saints (slang names, “Mormon and LDS”) believe their church leader is a living prophet of God; and his or her question of how that would effect Mitt Romney if he were elected. The person was correct, President Thomas S. Monson (the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is an actual prophet of God. The person then asked what Romney would do if elected. However, I don’t believe that was the real question. I believe the real question was what would the prophet say if Romney were President. God has consistently told his prophets (from the prophet Joseph Smith to President Monson) that: 1. We are to defend the freedoms of every individual in this country with all the energy we would to defend our own freedoms. 2. Church and state are to be separate. Period! 3. We are to love God Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate. If you know of an error in a story, please call one of our newsrooms.

I believe we are. While there is much debate about ObamaCare and what may be hidden in it, in my opinion this is just a smokescreen to pull our attention away from the more important issue. You don’t need to take my word for it. Check it out for yourself — I’ll tell you how. Go online and pull up Obama’s birth certificate. Examine the long form (finally) released by the White House. Notice there is no seal. Read all the reports. Long forms are issued by both hospitals in Hawaii; see what the staff has to say about Obama being born there. 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. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona personally commissioned a tenpage report. It’s there for you to read along with the conclusion drawn by three retired CIA agents. Don’t own a computer? Go to your local library. Someone there will help you’ pull up the information on one of their computers. It is your duty to be well informed before casting a vote for the president of our great nation, so check it out! Are we being bamboozled? You decide. And don’t forget to pray that God will continue to bless America. Ms. Juanita Wood Gallipolis, Ohio Sunday Times Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 200 Main Street Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Lopez Publisher Stephanie Filson Managing Editor �Sunday, October 14, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A5 Obituaries John Timothy Evans John Timothy Evans, 86, Gallipolis, Ohio, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, passed away October 11, 2012. An era came to an end with the passing of Tim Evans, the final survivor of the six founders of Bob Evans Farms. Tim was born in Gallipolis September 21, 1926. His business career was in place by the time he was 14, when his father would send him to West Virginia to bid on, and buy cattle for their farm. After graduation from Gallia Academy High School, he went straight into the business world, working at The Evans Packing Company, of which he became President, and retained that position until he retired in 1974. He remained very involved with Bob Evans Farms until 1991 when he retired from the Board of Directors. He then turned his attention to the pure bread angus business, as owner of Sunset Valley Farm. Tim was known and respected nationally as one of the premier cattlemen. He raised, bred and owned the national champion female in 2002, and was named Breeder of The Year in 2005. Tim was a pillar of the community. He served on the Boards of University of Rio Grande, Holzer Hospital, and Gallia County Jr Fair. He was a long time member of Grace United Methodist Church. Tim gave generously to many causes for the betterment of southeastern Ohio, and assisted and inspired many youngsters, several of whom were interested in raising cattle. In 1946, Tim married the former Betty Lou Rothgeb, who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by his parents, John Everette Evans, Jr. and Elma Reese Evans; and two sisters, Elma Louise Evans, and Bess Evans Grace Davis. He is survived by his wife Wylodine (Deanie) Evans, one daughter, Martha (Dr. Robert) Huestis, of Columbus, and one son David Timothy Evans, Ft. Lauderdale.

The Southern football team defeated Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Waterford 21-0 Friday night, giving the Tornadoes their first shutout since week three of 2010, their first back to back wins since 2010, and their first victory over Waterford since October 16th of 2009. Southern has not won a game in Waterford in over 10 years. The Tornadoes (3-5, 3-3 TVC Hocking) got things started early in the night, as Tyler Barton found paydirt from nine yards out at the 7:20 mark of the first period. Trenton Deem added the point after touchdown and gave Southern the 7-0 lead. Tyler Barton scored his second touchdown of the night with 1:38 remaining in the half on 14 yard run. Deem added the PAT and the Tornadoes led 14-0 at half. The second half was all about defense for the purple and gold. With just under seven minutes remaining in the game Waterford (2-6, 1-5) was held out of the en- dzone despite four attempts from inside the five yard line. The SHS defense struck again with 2:40 remaining in regulation, as Tyler O’Conner returned an interception 60 yards for the touchdown. Deem added the extra point and Southern took the 21-0 victory. Tyler Barton led the SHS rushing attack with 87 yards on 18 tries with two scores. Paul Ramthun had 17 yards on four carries, Jack Lemley had nine yards on one carry, Deem ran six times for eight yards, and Tristen Wolfe had six yards on eight carries. Wolfe was 4-of-6 passing for 60 yards on the night. Deem finished with a trio of grabs for 44 yards, while Paul Ramthun had one catch for 16 yards. Jacob Stewart led Waterford with 44 yards on six rushes, while Devon Patterson was 5-of-10 for 56 yards through the air. Mitchell Ginther had two receptions for 37 yards to lead the Wildcats. Southern had an 11-to-7 advantage in first downs on the night, and a 188-to-127 advantage in total yards. The Tornadoes gained 128 yards on 39 carries on the ground, to go with 60 yards through the air. WHS had just 71 yards on 34 attempts on the ground, to go with 56 yards passing.

Dave Harris l Daily Sentinel Meigs sophomore running back Michael Davis, right, tries to elude a Wellston defender during Friday night’s Week 8 Homecoming contest at Holzer Field at Farmers’ Bank Stadium in Rocksprings, Ohio. Marauders fall to Wellston on Homecoming, 34-29 Dave Harris Special to OVP ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Wellston outscored Meigs 22-14 in the second half and defeated the Marauders 3429 in TVC football action Friday night at Holzer Field at Farmers Bank Stadium before a large cool Homecoming/Alumni crowd. The Golden Rockets rushed for 333 yards in picking up their first win of the season in the conference. Wellston jumped out to an early 12-0 lead in the first period. Noah Massie scored the first of his three touchdowns for the night from a yard out at the 2:44 mark of the first period for a 6-0 advantage. Three plays later, Massie stepped in front of a Kaileb Sheets pass and rumbled 34 yards for the score giving the Golden Rockets a 12-0 advantage with 1:176 left in the first period. The Marauder offense was having problems getting going in the early part of the game, but in a span of seven second made it a ball game. The Marauders put together a nine play, 56 yard drive to score late in the half. ON the scoring play quarterback Kaileb Sheets handed off to Dillon Boyer, Sheets slipped out of the back field pulled in a pass from Boyer, slipped a tackle at the 15 and went in for the score completing a 25 yard scoring play. That play came on a fourth and eight for Meigs. Sheets added the extra points to cut the Wellston lead to 12-7. On first down after the kickoff, Damon Jones stepped in front of a Jake Waldron pass and took it untouched 35 yards for the score. For the extra points Sheets hit Ty Phelps for the score with 1:03 left and Meigs took a 15-12 lead into See HOMECOMING |‌ B2 OVP Sports Schedule Monday, Oct. 15 Volleyball Point Pleasant, Oak Hill at Ravenswood, 6 p.m. Belpre at Southern, 6 p.m. Ironton St. Joseph at South Gallia, 6 p.m. Girls Soccer Point Pleasant at St. Albans, 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.16 Volleyball OVCS, Grace at Hannan, 6 p.m. Wahama at Chas.

Blue Devils bounce Warren, 52-21 Kevin Pierson Special to OVP VINCENT, Ohio — Just three times this year has an opponent held the Gallia Academy Blue Devils to less than 40 points. Never have the Blue Devils been held off the scoreboard, even playing against the likes of undefeated Licking Heights and Division IV powerhouse Ironton. So give an offense with that kind of resume five extra possessions, and it’ll lead to a pretty long night. The Warren Warriors lost three fumbles and threw two interceptions while Gallia Academy scored on its first five possessions of the ball game as the Blue Devils took a commanding 52-21 win at Warren High School Friday night. “We’ve had a habit of scoring points this year, so one of the things you want to do is limit our possessions. They weren’t able to do that,” said Gallia Academy football coach Mike Eddy. Instead of limiting the Blue Devils opportunities, the Warriors gave them every chance they needed and then some. Three times Warren put the football on the ground, losing all three fumbles, and twice more the Blue Devils were able to intercept quarterback Dylan Leffingwell’s pass. Of the five turnovers, four of them led directly to points for the Blue Devils as Gallia Academy scored 24 points off the miscues. “We gave them more help than they needed,” lamented Warren football coach Andy Schob. It didn’t take long for the tempo of the game to establish itself, as the Blue Devils took the opening possession 80 yards on five plays with junior Ty Warnimont running 59 yards to the end zone for a 7-0 Gallia lead with 10:03 in the first quarter. Warren answered that first score, as the ground game behind senior Austin Kuhn provided a counter-punch to the Blue Devil attack. Kuhn had carries of 12, 15 and 12 yards on the drive before Jake Scott finished it off with a fouryard plunge to even the game at 7-7 with 5:22 to play in the first quarter. Another touchback off the foot of Warren senior Chas Miller gave the Blue Devils the ball at their own 20, but again Gallia found the end zone in short fashion. A 16-yard run by quarterback Wade Jarrell capped another five play scoring drive for a 14-7 Gallia advantage. The ensuing kickoff saw the first of the Warrior fumbles, as Warren lost the ball at their own 35 after the Blue Devils’ poochkick. Four plays later, the third different Gallia player found paydirt as Cody Russell scored from one yard out with 1:18 in the opening stanza. The Warriors turned the ball over on downs on their next possession, and Gallia needed just three plays to put another dagger into Warren’s hopes on homecoming night as Nick Clagg scored on a 39-yard run. “We played horrible on defense in the first half,” Schob said. A missed field goal gave the ball back to the Blue Devils, and Jarrell found Russell on a 10-yard touchdown pass to give Gallia a 35-7 advantage. Warren scored as time expired in the first half when Leffingwell connected with Scott on a 3-yard pass to set the margin at 35-14 in favor of the Blue Devils. The Warriors scoring drive featured a change in mentality, as Warren threw the ball 11 times in the series and didn’t attempt a single run. Prior to that, Warren had attempted just six passes and ran the ball 16. Leffingwell completed 7-of-11 passes on the scoring drive and was 11-for-16 at the break, effectively keeping the Warriors in the game. “He was able t o sit in the pocket and find the guy he wanted to throw to,” Eddy said. However, the second half was a different story as Leffingwell completed just 6-of-14 pass atSee DEVILS ‌| B2 Eagles outlast Doddridge County, 21-14 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com WEST UNION, W.Va. —Lategame heroics on the road. The Eastern football team made it’s longest road trip of the year Friday night, traveling to Doddridge County to face the Bulldogs in a nonconference match up. The Eagles took the 21-14 victory after scoring a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The Eagles (5-3) wasted little time establishing their offense as Joey Scowden ran from one yard out for the score at the 9:04 mark of the first period. Less than five minutes later EHS was on the board again, this time it was Ethan Nottingham with a three-yard touchdown run at the 4:29 mark of the first quarter. With just three minutes left in regulation Nottingham found paydirt for the second time in the game, on a run from five yards out to give EHS the 21-14 victory over the Bulldogs (5-3). Joey Scowden led the rushing attack for Eastern with 123 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown. Nottingham finished with 69 yards on 13 carries with two scores. Joey Scowden also led the passing attack for Eastern, completing 4-of-5 pass attempts for 100 yards. Alex Amos was the Eagles leading receiver, with two grabs for 64 yards on the night. Amos caught another pass on the night, from the Doddridge County quarterback, and returned it 15 yards after the interception. Amos led the EHS defense with seven tackles and seven assists on the night. Eastern’s win snaps the Bulldogs two game winning streak. The Eagles have now won their last three road games. EHS returns to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division action next Friday as the Eagles travel to Stewart to face Federal Hocking. Doddridge County hits the road next week for the first time since week four. The Bulldogs take on Valley (Wetzel) next Friday night. �Sunday, October 14, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Shurmur, Browns need a first win CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are about to change owners. That may not be good for their coach. Unless he gets a win, Pat Shurmur’s days could be dwindling. With his team riding a franchise record-tying 11-game losing streak, Shurmur enters Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals needing a victory to help reinforce that the Browns are headed in the right direction under him. As the league’s only winless team, the Browns (0-5) are in jeopardy of having another of those seasons that ends with a head coach being fired. On Tuesday, truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III’s $1 billion purchase of the Browns from Randy Lerner is expected to be approved by NFL owners. It may not be long after that before the new boss begins putting his stamp on a franchise seeking end more than a decade of mostly deplorable football. Haslam has said he won’t make any personnel changes until after this season, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t already considering some. Shurmur is 4-17 with Cleveland, including an 0-8 mark inside the pitiless AFC North. Shurmur’s tenure has been hampered by the labor lockout, close losses, injuries, an inexperienced roster and the ownership switch, which was announced on the first day of training camp and has served as a distracting undercurrent for him and his staff. Shurmur’s young team — the Browns have 27 players with less than two years of experience — has shown steady improvement, but not enough to result in a win. With Cincinnati coming in, Cleveland has a chance to begin a turnaround. “This is a division game, so it is kind of a double-whammy there,” Shurmur said. “Winning a division game at home would be great for our young team.” And for Shurmur, who in recent weeks has begun to show signs of stress. Last week, a frustrated Shur- mur cursed and stormed away from reporters after he was pressed on why rookie running back Trent Richardson was absent from practice. Richardson had been excused to be with his girlfriend when she went into labor, but Shurmur would not address the topic on the record, creating an awkward situation. Then, following last week’s 41-27 loss to the New York Giants, Shurmur was defensive as he was questioned about a third-and-1 play in the first half when rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden threw a costly interception. Shurmur was irritated he was being second-guessed on calling a pass play instead of a run and seemed bothered by the line of questioning. Earlier this week, Shurmur was asked by Cincinnati reporters about his “chippy” relationship with Cleveland’s media. “I don’t know that,” he said on a conference call. “I would say that I’m a very competitive guy and I make all of my decisions on what’s best for our team. I don’t know about ‘chippy.’ That may be one person’s opinion. I try to answer the questions. I try to be honest and up front about my thoughts and opinions. At the heart of it, I’m trying to make all of the decisions based on what’s best for our team. “I do think it is fair to say that I’m very competitive.” Shurmur has admitted being “a hothead” and that fire has served him well in inspiring the Browns, who have been competitive in four games against a tough schedule. If not for a play here or a play there, the Browns would have that first win and Shurmur would not be under attack. This week, the Browns play a Cincinnati team that beat them 34-27 on Sept. 16. But Cleveland’s defense will have a different look with the return of cornerback Joe Haden, who missed the past four games while serving his suspension for violating the league’s policy on performanceenhancing drugs.

After Sheets was dropped for a loss of 18 in first down to the Meigs seven. Michael Davis slipped a tempts with two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, as Gallia Academy focused on slowing down the senior quarterback. “One of the things we talked to our kids about at halftime was being more aggressive on our pass coverage,” Eddy said. Down by three scores at the break, the Warriors attempted to make a ball game of it in the early going of the second half, taking their first possession of the stanza all the way down to the Blue Devils’ 5-yard line.

Another loss for the host Raiders. River Valley dropped its fifth straight gridiron decision on Homecoming Friday night following a 28-6 setback to previously winless Rock Hill in a Week 8 Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Gallia County. The host Raiders (1-7, 0-3 OVC) never led in the contest and were outgained in total yards by a 423-254 overall margin, and the Redmen attempted only one pass the entire night — which came on a successful twopoint conversion. Rock Hill (1-7, 1-2) — which ended an eight-game losing streak — led 8-0 at the intermission and forced RVHS into committing three second-half turnovers, which helped the guests keep the clock running with a lead. RHHS finished the night plus-1 in turnover differential and also had a nearly 4-to-1 ratio in rushing yards. After a three-and-out by the Raiders to start the game, Rock Hill marched 81 yards in nine plays for the only score of the first half. Redmen quarterback Gabe Marzicola rumbled 52 yards to paydirt with 5:11 remaining in the opening quarter for an early 6-0 edge. RHHS went for two and converted on a halfback option, as Chance Blankenship took a pitch, rolled right and threw a strike to Austin Collins for an 8-0 Rock Hill advantage. Neither team scored again in the first half, and neither team committed a turnover before the break. Rock Hill had a small 7-5 edge in first downs and a 143-121 advantage in total offensive yards at halftime. Rock Hill’s final punt of the night came on its opening drive of the third quarter, and the Raiders made the most of their ensuing possession — which started at the RVHS 43-yard line. The hosts marched 57 yards in six plays to get to paydirt, capped by a 13-yard scoring run by Kyle Brown with six minutes left in the canto. River Valley went for two on its PAT chance and came up short on a pass attempt, allowing Rock Hill to maintain an 8-6 advantage midway through the third. The Raiders never came closer the rest of the way. The Redmen retaliated with an eight-play, 81-yard scoring drive on their next possession, capped off by a 28-yard scamper by Shane Harper at the 1:43 mark for a 14-6 cushion. Harper — who bounced off two RVHS defenders on his up-the-middle TD run — added a successful run on the two-point conversion to give the guests a 16-6 lead. RHHS again took over possession just moments before the third quarter ended, then went 92 yards in nine plays to establish a 22-6 advantage. Chance Blankenship scored on a 26-yard run with 7:43 left in regulation, but the two-point conversion was stopped to keep the game at two possessions. And then, the turnovers came to life. River Valley put together a drive that started at its own 22 and the hosts moved the ball down to the RHHS 39-yard line. Dayton Hardway completed an 18-yard pass to Chris Clemente, but Rock Hill jarred the ball loose after the catch and recovered the fumble at its own 17 with 6:20 remaining. The Redmen ran a little over three minutes off the clock before a Harper fumble gave the Raiders the ball back at the guests 36 with 3:16 left. RVHS, however, missed three straight passes and came up four yards short of a first down before losing the ball on downs with 2:48 showing. Harper redeemed himself on his next carry from scrimmage, rumbling 79 yards to paydirt with 2:10 left in regulation for a 28-6 score. Harper’s second TD run of the night capped a three-play, 83-yard drive that also concluded the scoring. River Valley threw interceptions on its next two drives, while Rock Hill committed a fumble in between those takeaways. RHHS took a knee with its final play of the night to put an end to their winless 2012 campaign. The Redmen outgained the Raiders by a 280-133 margin in the second half and also claimed a 12-9 advantage in first downs after the break. Overall, Rock Hill gained a 19-14 edge in first downs and committed four second-half penalties for 50 yards, compared to eight flags for 59 yards for the hosts. RVHS also had four punts in the setback, twice as many as the visitors. River Valley amassed 107 rushing yards on 22 attempts and added another 147 yards through the air. The hosts had only three rushes for double-digit yardage, while the Redmen more than tripled that total with 10 runs of 10 yards or more. RVHS also had five pass plays go for 10-or-more yards. Brown led the RVHS rushing attack with 67 yards on 16 carries, followed by Hardway with 33 yards on five totes. Austin Davies also had one run for seven yards. Hardway finished the night 11-of-27 passing for 147 yards to go with two interceptions. Austin Bradley led the wideouts with four catches for 75 yards, followed by Davies with three grabs for 27 yards. Clemente (18), Brown (6), Ethan Dovenbarger (12) and Jacob Leach (9) also hauled in one pass apiece. Rock Hill finished the night with 423 rushing yards, with Harper leading the way with 224 yards on 25 carries. Chance Blankenship was next with 137 yards on 21 tries, while Marzicola added five totes for 48 yards. Jordan Blagg had five tries for 11 yards, Corey Depriest had two carries for three yards and Brandon Blankenship had one rush for zero yards. Tyler Twyman and Justin Mabe had fumble recoveries for the Raiders, who haven’t won a Homecoming contest since beating Alexander 29-6 in Week 4 of the 2007 campaign. RVHS has also dropped seven straight decision overall this fall. Chance Blankenship had a fumble recovery and an interception for the guests, while Austin Collins also came up with an interception in the triumph. River Valley returns to OVC action next Friday when it hosts South Point on Alumni Night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT? ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� Over $10,000 in credit card bills?

South Gallia’s Landon Hutchinson (right) and Ethan Spurlock (left) run the option during Friday night’s 57-6 loss to Wahama. Spurlock broke numerous tackles and raced 73 yards for the visitors lone score of the evening. Spurlock totaled 75 rushing yards with Kenny Wroten notching 44 and Jacob White 29 for South Gallia. Freshman signal caller Landon Hutchinson completed one of four passes for the Rebels for 33 yards with Kane Hutchinson owning the lone reception. WHS scored one touchdown in the opening quarter on a three yard Wamsley run to gain a 7-0 edge before the White Falcons exploded for three scores in the second period. Roush reached paydirt on all three Falcon touchdowns during the second period with runs of 64 and 15 yards and a 16 yard TD reception from Gibbs to extend the Bend Area teams lead to 26-0 at the half. The Falcons would blow the game open with two touchdowns in the third stanza as Wamsley burst through the middle on a 13 yard run prior to Roush rambling 60 yards to increase the WHS lead to 38-0. In the final canto Roush scored his fifth touchdown of the night on a 31 yard scamper before Colton Neal raced 63 yards for another score to increase the Falcons lead to 51-0. Spurlock tallied the Rebels lone six pointer of the day on a nifty 73 yard gallop to make it a 51-6 contest before Pedro Allerano concluded the nights scoring activity with a 15 yard run for the White Falcons. Wahama, with an open date in its schedule next week, has already clinched its fourth consecutive postseason playoff berth and hope to clinch the TVC, Hocking Division title for the third year in a row succession in two weeks when the White Falcons travel to Miller. South Gallia will conclude its 2012 TVC grid card by hosting Waterford next Friday.

Mason W.Va. — Kane Roush ran rampant Friday Night in leading the Wahama White Falcons to its eighth straight win after scoring five touchdowns and rushing for 249 yards in 12 carries as the Bend Area team defeated winless South Gallia by a 57-6 margin. Roush entered the TriValley Conference, Hocking Division outing just 223 yards shy of becoming the 20th Wahama running back to accomplish this feat in the last 35 years. The elusive, fleet-footed junior topped the 1000 yard plateau for the Mason County team on a 31 yard touchdown run with 10:16 to play in the final quarter. The gridiron victory clinched at least a tie for the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division league title for Coach Ed Cromley’s second ranked White Falcons as Wahama extended its unbeaten string to 8-0 on the year and 7-0 in conference action. WHS has now captured 29 straight regular season contests and is a perfect 23-0 in TVC, Hocking Division play since joining the league in 2010. An extremely young South Gallia squad saw put forth a gallant fight against the league leaders before succumbing by the onesided margin. The setback dropped the Rebels 2012 season record to 0-8 overall and 0-7 in Hocking Division play. Wahama tallied an impressive 516 yards on the ground against South Gallia while throwing for another 115 yards for a net total of 631 offensive yards. Roush enjoyed scoring runs of 64, 15, 60, and 31 yards on his way to a 249 yard rushing night in addition to grabbing a 16 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trenton Gibbs. Gibbs connected on five of nine aerials in the outing for 115 yards and a score with Roush catching three passes for 69 yards to pace the locals in that category also. Austin Cole had one reception for 39 yards and Wyatt Zuspan one for seven yards for the Bend Area eleven. Wahama picked up 22 first downs on the evening with Zach Wamsley rushing for 59 yards and two scores while Colton Neal added a 63 touchdown gallop and Pedro Allerano a 15 yard scoring run. Crandal Neal ran for 57 yards on the ground while Demetrius Serevicz added 52 yards in only one carry for the hosts. South Gallia tallied 152 yards on the ground and 33 through the air for a net offensive total of 185 yards.

The Big Blacks — coming off losses to Brooke and Oak Hill — rebounded with their biggest offensive explosion since the early part of the season. Point had 435 total yards of offense with three players standing out the most – senior running back Tylun Campbell had over 100 yards rushing, sophomore quarterback Aden Yates had nearly 200 yards throwing, and junior wingback Chase Walton had 100 yards receiving. Campbell – who missed last week’s game versus Oak Hill – returned and had his best game of the year with 13 carries for 104 yards. Marquez Griffin narrowly missed the 100 yard mark with 12 carries for 87 yards. Other ball carriers on the night included Chase Walton, Teran Barnitz, Cody Mitchell, Aden Yates, Cody Marcum, and Cody McDaniel. Yates – coming off his lowest passing performance of the season – completed 12 of 16 passes on the night for 187 yards and passed for three touchdowns. Walton was his leading receiver with 6 grabs for 100 yards. Marquez Griffin had 2 catches for 43 yards, Andrew Williamson 1 catch for 20 yards, Cody Mitchell 2 for 17 yards, and Austen Toler 1 catch for 7 yards. Finally, maybe most importantly, it was the Big Blacks defense stepping up and playing one of their best games of the year, holding Ravenswood to just 124 yards of total offense on the night. Several big plays defensively – a 98 yard interception run (tripped at the 1 yard line) by Marquez Griffin, a sack by Luke Halstead, several great plays from Andrew Williamson – helped lead the Big Blacks to the victory. Chase Walton, Teran Barnitz, Cody McDaniel, Luke Halstead, and Brycen Reymond all had good nights defensively. Despite one big drive in the first quarter that resulted in no points, it took Point nearly the entire first quarter before finding their first score. After a big pass interference call negated a big Ravenswood gain, they were forced to punt, and on the first play of the drive Marquez Griffin raced 54 yards for the Jan Haddox l Point Pleasant Register score. The Colin Peal Point Pleasant senior running back Tylun Campbell (10) follows the lead block of classmate Les kick was good.

The South Gallia volleyball team traveled to face Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Miller Thursday night, and defeated the Lady Falcons in straight games during the regular season finale. The Lady Rebels (12-9, 8-8 TVC Hocking) took the first game 25-13, the second game 25-7 and the third game 25-18 to complete the season sweep of Miller.

Caldwell had 16 kills in the triumph, followed by Bostic with five, Adams with three, and Corbin with one. Bostic had five blocks to lead the Lady Rebels, while Caldwell and Haner each had one block. Lady Vikings edge Meigs in five Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com ROCKSPRIGS, Ohio — The Meigs volleyball team fell in its regular season finale Thursday night against visiting Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division foe Vinton County. The Lady Marauders (4-17, 1-9 TVC Ohio) took the game 25-23 but Vinton County (9-10, 2-8) bounced back to take the second game 25-16. MHS took the third game 25-20, however the Lady Vikings won the fourth game 25-17 and the fifth game 15-12 to win the match.

Kinnan, George and Hannah Cremeans each had one block in the match. This marks Vinton County’s second victory over Meigs this season. The first came on September 20th in McArthur in straight games. Reds have to decide on Baker after playoff exit CINCINNATI (AP) — Manager Dusty Baker has trouble even thinking about next year. “I don’t know, man,” he said, after the Cincinnati Reds’ season ended with a collapse. “I’m kinda numb in this situation.” Pretty much summed up the season. A team that had been able to overcome so many setbacks couldn’t get that one last comeback to make it something really special. A 6-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday knocked the NL Central champions out of the playoffs far earlier than expected.

Lady Eagles go unbeaten again in TVC Hocking Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications. com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The proof of consistency is in the numbers. The Eastern volleyball team captured its second straight unbeaten league championship on Senior Night Thursday following a 25-14, 25-14, 25-14 victory over visiting Southern in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division finale for both clubs at the Eagle’s Nest. The Lady Eagles (21-1, 16-0 TVC Hocking) honored seniors Kiki Osborne, Gabby Hendrix, Ally Hendrix and Katie Keller before the contest, then the hosts rode that momentum in handing the Lady Tornadoes (9-13, 5-11) a trio of 11-point losses. EHS also claimed a season sweep after claiming a 25-11, 25-16, 25-6 win at Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium on September 20. Southern never led in any of the three games and managed five ties overall, three of which came in the finale. Eastern broke a 9-all Game 3 by using a 16-5 surge to wrap up their second unbeaten crown in as many years. The win extended Eastern’s current match win streak to 19 straight this fall and also gave the hosts their 36th consecutive TVC Hocking triumph. The Lady Eagles have also won 28 straight home matches and 21 straight games headed into tournament play. Eastern, however, never led by more than 11 points at any time in the contest — which was something that did leave EHS coach Howie Caldwell a little frustrated about afterwards. He noted that, collectively, Southern played a fantastic match, but he wasn’t happy with how his troops let them hang around before pulling away late in each game. Caldwell also mentioned that that trend cannot continue into the postseason. “My main goal in life, rather it be a sport or in the classroom, is to get people to go at 100 percent, Bryan Walters/photo Southern junior Katie Jenkins (1) sets a pass in the air as Eastern’s front row of Kiki Osborne, Katie Keller and Jordan Parker, from left, wait to set up a blocking wall during Game 3 of Thursday night’s TVC Hocking finale for both teams in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. and maybe even over 100 percent. Sometimes, like tonight, I didn’t think that we completely gave 100 percent of an effort,” Caldwell said. “I don’t want anyone to think that we aren’t happy with where we are or what we’ve done over the last few years, because we are. But, we have to play at 100 percent or more each night out. It’s the only thing from here on out that we can do to assure that we have another match waiting for us. “Now I will say this. These girls have made a heck of a legacy for themselves so far this year. Last year’s state run doesn’t matter anymore. What we do from here on out will determine the legacy that this team leaves behind.” Maddie Rigsby led the EHS service attack with 10 points, followed by Kiki Osborne with nine points and Erin Swatzel with eight points. Ally Hendrix, Jordan Parker and Gabby Hendrix also chipped in five points apiece to the winning cause. Parker led the net attack with 16 kills and three blocks, while Swatzel and Rigsby respectively added 11 kills and eight kills. Osborne and Katie Keller both had three kills, while Ally Hendrix contributed two kills and a block. Keller also had a block for the victors. Ally Hendrix led the passing game with 43 assists, while Gabby Hendrix had a team-best 28 digs. Rigsby and Lindsay Wolfe also had 17 and nine digs, respectively, for the hosts. Katie Jenkins, Ali Deem, Baylee Hupp and Darien Diddle all had two service points for SHS, followed by Jansen Wolfe and Jordan Huddleston with one point apiece. Wolfe led the Southern net attack with six kills, followed by Madison Maynard with three kills and Celestia Hendrix with two kills. Deem and Huddleston also had a kill each in the setback. Wolfe and Huddleston also had a block apiece. Wolfe led the guests’ passing game with seven assists and Jenkins chipped in five assists. Wahama wallops Lady Cats Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com MASON, W.Va. —A senior night to remember. The Wahama volleyball team (6-13) defeated visiting Hannan Thursday night on the Lady Falcons’ senior night. WHS won by a count of 25-21, 25-11 and 25-13 on a night where both teams wore pink for breast cancer awareness. Sierra Carmichael led the Lady Falcons with 11 service points, followed by Mackenzie Gabritsch with 10 and Olivia Hill with nine. Paige Gardner had seven points, Emily Casto and Brittany Stewart each had four point, while Kelsey Zuspan rounded out the WHS service attack with three points in the triumph.

Tucked away against Point Pleasant’s flood wall is one such home — the A. F. Kisar Home. Since 2008, the historic home has belonged to the City of Point Pleasant and has been in the care of the Main Street Point Pleasant organization which is attempting to restore it to its former glory and make it one of the top tourist destinations in town. In recent years, Main Street Point Pleasant received funding to replace the home’s substantial slate roof and copper gutters. Now, the windows in the home, along with the heating and cooling system, is set to be revamped thanks to another grant. Main Street Point Pleasant Director Charles Humphreys said a Transportation Enhancement Grant for $240,000 will help fund even more updates to the home with bids possibly going out for the job this week. Humphreys estimated it will take at least three to six months to complete the job which is just the latest attempt to remove any “modern” additions to the home to bring it back to its original state. Improvements further down the wish list include working on the interior walls, floors and ceilings as well as tearing up the concrete surrounding the home for placement of period gardens. With all this work to be done and grants to be found, it could easily be at least another year before the home is opened to the public, if not longer. However, once the home is complete, Humphreys says he feels it’s going to be a “very good thing for the city and once it’s done, it will be there for another 100 years.” What about its first 100 years? The A.F. Kisar Home’s story begins with Kisar himself, a local jeweler who came to Point Pleasant in the late 1800’s with the home’s construction estimated to date back to the 1890’s. Kisar is said to have made three trips to England to select the colorful, flower patterned tiles which line the home’s walls of the dining room, foyer and staircase. The pastel-colored bricks on the outside walls are also of English design. Then, the late Wayne and Margaret Kincaid purchased the house in 1962 - the couple purchased the home for less than $20,000 but sank $60,000 into repairs just to move in. After several years of these extensive repairs, the Kincaids did move in and made the Kisar home, their home. For many years Wayne and Margaret operated a family-run grocery store on Main Street just a few yards from this house. One service of their store was to provide groceries to many of the towboats operating on the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. Though at first glace, the house may seem a bit like a museum with its high ceilings and antiques, it was “just home” to the Kincaid family which included children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Kincaid family also included Hezekiah, the giant griffin carved out of golden oak that stands guard in the foyer. Wayne salvaged Hezekiah from the Lowe Hotel where it had rested for many years as the newel post at the bottom of the hotel’s marble staircase. Hezekiah was said to be carved by local artist Jake Heib who also did the ornate word working in the Kisar home. The dark wood in the home is typical of the Victorian era. The doors, door frames, mantels and woodwork around the fireplaces are intricately hand carved. The foundaPhotos by Beth Sergent l Daily Sentinel tion of the house is sandstone.

Pleasant and under the care of the Main Street Point Pleasant organization. Several are made of marble. One unique feature of the house is parquet flooring and carved ceilings, some of which are attached with screws to be removed in the event of high water since, at the time it was built, there was no flood wall. The woodwork around the first floor doors is also attached this way. The foyer floor is covered in mosaic tiles, a small brightly colored tile. Originally, the dining room floor was the same, but, unfortunately was so badly damaged that it could not be restored. The Kincaid’s acquired over the years many pieces of antique furniture for their home, including a rosewood piano like the one in the Mansion House at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. Of course there is more to a home than its belongings or knowing where the tile was made. There are the stories of the people who made it a home, like Margaret who opened the home to visitors without hesitation. Though Wayne preceded her in death by a few years, before Margaret passed away in 2004, her wish was to keep the home open to the public if at all possible. After all, what’s the point of having a story, or a home, if no one’s around to share it?

California man behind film denies probation violations LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind the anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East denied Wednesday that he violated terms of his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction by using aliases and lying about his role in the movie. Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, made a brief appearance in a courtroom packed with media and quietly repeated “deny” when all eight probation violation allegations were read by U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder, who scheduled an evidentiary hearing for Nov. 9. None of the alleged violations have to do with the content of the movie or whether Youssef was the one who posted to YouTube the 14-minute trailer for “Innocence of Muslims,” which depicts Mohammad as a religious fraud, womanizer and pedophile. Federal authorities are seeking two years in prison for Youssef, who remains in custody and held without bail. Youssef fled his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos and went into hiding when violence erupted in Egypt on Sept. 11. The violence spread, killing dozens, and enraged Muslims have demanded severe punishment for Youssef, with a Pakistani cabinet minister offering $100,000 to anyone who kills him. “My client was not the cause of the violence in the Middle East,” attorney Steven Seiden said after the hearing. “Clearly, it was pre-planned and it was just an excuse and a trigger point to have more violence.” The First Amendment offers broad protections for filmmaking and other forms of expression. Jody Armour, a professor at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law, said he is troubled that the government went after Youssef only after the movie caused outrage in the Middle East. “They are saying we aren’t going after him on the content, but the reason you are zeroing in on this other behavior is because he was somebody who published a film that caused a violent reaction in another part of the world,” Armour said. “That’s why there’s almost this kind of a dog-whistle quality by this maneuver by the government.” Federal prosecutors did not comment after the hearing. Youssef was convicted of bank fraud in 2010 and sentenced to 21 months in prison. Authorities said Youssef used more than a dozen aliases and opened about 60 bank accounts and had more than 600 credit and debit cards to conduct the check fraud scheme. After Youssef was freed, he was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer. He also wasn’t supposed to use any name other than his true legal name without the prior written approval of his probation officer. At least three names have been associated with Youssef since the film trailer surfaced — Sam Bacile, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and Youssef. Bacile was the name attached to the YouTube account that posted the video Court documents show Youssef legally changed his name from Nakoula in 2002, though when he was tried he identified himself as Nakoula. He wanted the name change because he believed Nakoula sounded like a girl’s name, according to court documents. Among the violations Youssef denied Wednesday were using “Nakoula” as his name throughout his bank fraud case, obtaining a fraudulent California driver’s license and telling federal authorities that his role in the film was limited to writing the script. Prosecutors have previously said there is evidence showing Youssef had a larger role in the film, but they declined to elaborate. Seiden explained that Youssef denied all allegations on procedural grounds.

Space shuttle pauses on a 12-mile trip to LA museum LOS ANGELES (AP) — At its prime, the space shuttle Endeavour cruised around the Earth at 17,500 mph, faster than a speeding bullet. In retirement, it’s crawling along at a sluggish 2 mph, a pace that rush-hour commuters can sympathize with. Endeavour’s 12-mile road trip kicked off shortly before midnight Thursday as it moved from its Los Angeles International Airport hangar en route to the California Science Center, its ultimate destination, said Benjamin Scheier of the center. The shuttle rolled through the streets of neighboring Westchester for about three miles and then, in a massive feat of parallel parking, the 170,000-pound spacecraft was backed into a parking lot near a strip mall. At the airport, Endeavour was briefly delayed after a minor problem developed with its trailer, Los Angeles police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said. It reached the streets shortly after 2 a.m. Friday. The immense black-andwhite spacecraft, its sides weathered by millions of miles in space and two dozen re-entries, rolled slowly on a 160-wheeled carrier. Hundreds of people waiting in the predawn darkness snapped photos and gaped as it inched by with its tail towering over streetlights and its wings spanning the roadway. Some had pajamaclad children in tow. The shuttle made stopand-go progress, with some halts to check its balance and to prune trees in its path as it rolled past strip malls, storefronts, apartment buildings and front lawns. It arrived at the parking lot at around 5:30 a.m. — some two hours late. “It’s still a work in progress,” Scheier said of the journey. Ushering a shuttle through an urban core is a logistical challenge that took almost a year to plan. Guarded by a security detail reminiscent of a presidential visit, police enforced rolling street and sidewalk closures as early as Thursday night in some locations and discouraged spectators from swarming side streets. The behemoth transport has caused headaches for shopkeepers along the route who counted on cheering crowds jamming the curbs to boost business. In the days leading up to Endeavour’s move, the owners of Randy’s Donuts sold shuttle-shaped pastries emblazoned with the NASA logo and even hung a shuttle replica inside the giant doughnut hole sign visible from the busy Interstate 405. Co-owner Larry Weintraub planned to watch the shuttle creep by the roadside sign, which has been featured in several movies. But the store, which serves up sweets 24-7, will be closed Friday night. “I’m still excited, but I’m disappointed that people aren’t going to be able to stand in the streets and shout ‘Yay,’” he said. Saturday is typically the busiest day for James Fugate, who co-owns Eso Won Books in South Los Angeles. But with Endeavour expected to shuffle through, Fugate braced for a ho-hum day in sales. “We don’t close because we’re slow. That’s when you pull out a book to read,” he said. The baby of the shuttle fleet, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which exploded during liftoff in 1986, killing seven astronauts. It thundered off the launch pad 25 times, orbited Earth nearly 4,700 times and racked up 123 million miles. Last month, it wowed throngs with a dizzying aerial loop, soaring over the state Capitol, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood Sign and other California landmarks while strapped to the back of a modified 747 before finally landing at LAX. The last leg of Endeavour’s retirement journey skips the tourist attractions and instead, winds through blue-collar communities in southern Los Angeles County. While viewing will be severely curtailed due to sidewalk shutdowns, crowds are still expected. Moving the Endeavour required a specialized carrier typically used to haul oil rigs, bridges and heavy equipment. The wheels can spin in any direction, allowing the shuttle to zigzag past obstacles. An operator walks alongside, controlling the movements via joystick. Several spotters along the wings are on the lookout for hazards. To make room for the five-story-tall shuttle and its 78-foot wingspan, some 400 trees were chopped down, cable and telephone lines were raised, and steel plates were laid down to protect the streets and underground utilities. Endeavour will mostly travel on wide boulevards with some boasting as many lanes as a freeway. While there have been advance preparations, there is remaining work to be done during the move, including de-energizing power lines. Southern California Edison warned of outages in the suburb of Inglewood. One of the trickiest parts involves trundling through a narrow residential street with apartment buildings on both sides. With Endeavour’s wings expected to intrude into driveways, residents have been told to stay indoors until the shuttle passes. The route was selected after ruling out other options. Dismantling the shuttle would have ruined the delicate heat tiles. Helicoptering it to its destination was not feasible. Neither was crossing on freeways since the shuttle is too big to fit through the underpasses. The cost of transporting it cross-town was estimated at over $10 million. As complex as the latest endeavor is, Southern California is no stranger to moving heavy things. In 1946, Howard Hughes’ “Spruce Goose” aircraft was built in sections and hauled from Culver City to Long Beach, 30 miles away.

Your creativity and magnetism intertwine, which will open you up to more possibilities. As much as you might forge ahead, you also could feel as if you are lacking either financially or emotionally. If you are single, a relationship is yours to have, if you want it. In fact, you’ll have quite a selection of admirers to choose from. If you are attached, the two of you need more personal time as a couple, but be careful to not get to me-oriented. It takes two to tango. A fellow LIBRA demonstrates his or her creativity in a totally different way. 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 Sometimes others see your actions and decisions as bold. Someone who is not accustomed to your style could become angry. This person will let you know how upset he or she is. An apology or explanation is in order. Consider adapting your style for moresensitive folks. Tonight: With a favorite person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH A friend or loved one knows your Achilles’ heel and will use that weakness periodically. You might be stunned by this person’s words. You do not need to retaliate; instead, use this moment to look within yourself. Consider his or her commentary and internalize what is viable. Tonight: Join a friend or two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your creativity emerges in the presence of others’ energized, and sometimes bold, actions. You understand the forces at work here. Determine if and where you want to become involved. Your instincts will guide you with a loved one. Tonight: Time for a brisk walk. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You have a tendency to be moody. You acknowledge that fact, but when you look around, you might decide that you currently are on more solid ground than many of your comrades. Tonight: A child or loved one pulls you into a fun scene. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Use the morning to the max in order to deal with others accordingly. In the afternoon, an investment or domestic issue emerges. Give thought to how you could use this pivotal situation. This evolving matter could be the basis of a new beginning. Tonight: Home is your palace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You remain very caring with a relative or neighbor. Others note your compassion and also your ability to act on that quality. A long-wished-for opportunity to realign another important relationship might occur out of the blue. A new beginning becomes possible as a result. Tonight: Accept an invitation, hang out and visit with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Do your thing in the morning. You could become rather frustrated by a situation that keeps emerging. Detach by doing something totally unrelated to your present thoughts, and a solution will emerge. Focus on creating better security and more opportunities for yourself and others. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might be slow to start, like the turtle, with the hare leading in front. Don’t worry — your endurance and steadiness will pay off. By the day’s end, you’ll be the winner. Your process and style in the evening allow you to catch up and succeed in whatever you deem important. Tonight: Out on the town. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Check out what’s happening behind the scenes. You have so much energy, and it is close to impossible to hold you back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH In an attempt to be nonreactive, you might have swallowed a lot of anger. If you find that you are doing or saying something unusual or subtly hostile, look within yourself. It is important to express negative feelings, too, but in a palatable manner. As a result, you could experience a new beginning. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You are in the limelight, and you’ll make an impression on a boss or supervisor. The trail you blaze easily could lead to a new beginning, if you so choose. Your creativity flourishes, yet the cost of this self-expression could be high. Tonight: Could go into the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Use timing to facilitate your desires. Individual conversations will flourish in the morning and midday. Afterward, take a serious look at what is happening around you. You might want to do more research. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

The bride to be is studying at Marshall University while the prospective groom is employed by the New Haven Police Department. A May 2013 wedding on the family farm is being planned. BOO! Should teens be allowed to trick-or-treat? NEW YORK (AP) — Patti Woods-LaVoie loves Halloween and all things candy, but she has a hard and fast rule when it comes to teens and trickor-treating. Show up at her door in Trumbull, Conn., with a costume — and she means something more than a baseball hat and jersey — and her candy bowl is your candy bowl. Ring her bell in street clothes and you’ll get teabags, ramen noodles, shampoo samples or some other discard from her pantry or closets. “Some come in cars,” she said. “They park and go from neighborhood to neighborhood. My husband is just waiting for the day our house gets egged by someone who got a teabag.” When it comes to big kids with pillow cases begging for candy on Halloween, there seem to be three camps. The sure, why nots say they overbuy and are happy to let teens scarf up the leftovers so they don’t eat it all themselves. The No’s find it overly cynical when older kids aren’t in costumes that took some planning. And the middlegrounders believe teens aren’t in it just for the loot and still truly enjoy the ritual of dressing up and going door-to-door. So how old is too old for trick or treating? “I’m cutting mine off at 14, but if teens show up at my door and are polite I’ll give them candy,” said Betsy Tant in Knoxville, Tenn., mom to a 13-yearold daughter and two younger kids. Last year, when her daughter was 12, “someone said they felt it was inappropriate for her to be trick or treating, even though she was with her 4-year-old sister,” Tant said. “They assumed she was a teen because she’s tall. They were mad. I had to intervene and it was very uncomfortable.” Other candy givers who are also parents said it feels more like extortion than good fun when the older teens show up, especially hulk-sized boys mowing over toddlers to get to the door. “I also think it’s about adults not trusting older kids,” Tant said. “With teens, Halloween can be more about tricks. Teens tend to be more impulsive and less concerned with consequences.” Laurie A. Couture’s 18-year-old son, Brycen, said he went trick-ortreating with his mom until he was 15. He wanted to enjoy the holiday with her after his adoption at age 11. “I wanted to have that experience with my mom. I’ve always loved the idea of dressing up in funky costumes,” he said. Couture, in the Boston area, said they never had a candy refusal. “Once or twice an older person would say, ‘Aren’t you a little old to be trick- ortreating?’” Nielsen says 51.4 million people watched VP debate NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Ryan debating Joe Biden wasn’t quite the same television draw as Sarah Palin versus Biden was four years ago. An estimated 51.4 million people watched Ryan, the Republican challenger, debate Vice President Biden, a Democrat, on Thursday night, said Nielsen, the company that measures television audiences. Four years ago, just under 70 million people watched Palin debate Biden. But that was unusual; it was a debate that had more viewers than even any presidential contest dating back to 1992. Excluding 2008, the Biden-Ryan debate had a larger audience than any oth- er vice presidential debate since George Bush was matched up with Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, Nielsen said. Last week, an estimated 67 million TV viewers saw President Barack Obama in his first debate against Mitt Romney. The two men debate again next week. More people saw the vice presidential debate on Fox News Channel than any other network. It had an estimated 10.02 million viewers, CBS had 8.31 million, ABC had 8.29 million, NBC had 7.85 million, Fox broadcasting had 5.05 million, MSNBC had 4.38 million, CNN had 4.15 million and PBS had 2 million, Nielsen said.

Donald Trump’s back with 14 ‘Apprentice’ All-Stars NEW YORK (AP) — If at first you don’t succeed … NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” is bringing back 13 players fired from past “Apprentice” contests, plus one notable winner, in the first-ever “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.” “We wouldn’t have done the ‘All-Star’ concept unless we were able to get the right contestants back,” said Donald Trump, the host and boardroom boss who once again will be pronouncing each contestant’s fate. The series, which starts shooting this new season on Monday for a March 2013 premiere, announced its slate of 14 contenders Friday morning. They include: — country music star Trace Adkins. — actor Stephen Baldwin. — actor Gary Busey. — magician and illusionist Penn Jillette. — DJ artist and rap star Lil Jon. — NBA Hall- of-Famer Dennis Rodman. — Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. — actress and author Marilu Henner. — singer La Toya Jackson. — TV personality and actress Claudia Jordan. — reality star Omarosa, who competed in the first , pre - celebrity edition of “ The Ap prentice.” — actress and author Lisa Rinna. — Playboy Playmate of the Year Brande Roderick. — plus Poison frontman Bret Michaels, who in 2010 emerged as the winner despite lifethreatening ailments that included a brain hemorrhage and hospitalization for what doctors called a warning stroke. “They’re all very smart, and I think they learned a lot from their last goaround,” Trump told The Associated Press. “This time, some of them will change their game to fool their rivals — some for better, some for worse.” The winner, as usual, will collect $250,000 to donate to his or her chosen charity. Trump was asked whether, beneath the tough manner he displays for each contender in the boardroom, he has secret favorites in the race. “Absolutely, I do,” he replied. “Some people I like much more than others. I’m a human being, so I have my likes and my dislikes. But I don’t let that cloud my judgment. If I like somebody but somebody deserves to be fired, I’ll always fire them, as opposed to somebody that I don’t like if they don’t deserve it. I would lose total credibility if I did otherwise.” The upcoming season will be the 13th for the overall “Apprentice” franchise, a track record that amazes Trump. “Who would have thought?” he marveled. “When we first signed for it, they didn’t even take an option (for more seasons). No one thought it would go any further.” It did, catching on with its debut in winter 2004, as Trump introduced “You’re fired” to the treasury of TV catchphrases. Since then, he said, it’s been lucrative and fun. “My business is real estate, but the show has been an amazing experience,” he said, “good in every way.” It’s also been, in some fashion, a learning experience. The main thing he’s learned? “You can never predict,” he replied. “I’ll see a contestant come out, and you would say they’re going to win, on the first day. And then they’re the first one fired.” But there’s been one other thing he’s discovered: the impact of his exposure on TV. “I was very well-known before the show,” he said, “but, frankly, I used to be able to walk outside. I can’t even walk outside now! Overall I think the show’s great, but there are times when you’d like to have a little bit of privacy.” Then Trump laughed at a reporter’s facetious suggestion that he consider donning a disguise. “I could put on a real wig,” Trump joked. “A lot of people say, ‘He wears a wig.’ I don’t. But maybe I should wear one: a big black sucker!” American says it will work on seats on more planes DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines says it will modify seats on 49 more planes to prevent rows of seats from coming loose during flight. It’s addressing the same problem that caused the airline to ground 48 planes last week — the seat rows aren’t locking properly into tracks on the floor. Crews will add a “secondary locking device” to seats in most of American’s Boeing 767s, spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said Friday. Those are widebody planes used on international flights. Seats came loose on three U.S. flights involving two different Boeing 757s earlier this month. There have been no similar midflight incidents with the Boeing 767s, but the airline is reinforcing the locking systems as a pre- caution, Huguely said. Work started late Thursday and will be done by Oct. 21, she said. The work will be done overnight and the airline won’t have to cancel any flights this time. It canceled at least 94 flights because of seat problems with the 757s. American said the Federal Aviation Administration has approved its plan for working on the seats, including the ability to keep flying planes that have not yet undergone the modifications. The FAA did not immediately comment. The seats on both types of planes are made by Weber Aircraft LLC, which did not immediately return calls for comment. Loose seats on the 757s raised safety concerns and turned into a public-relations nightmare for American, the nation’s thirdlargest airline, which has been flying under bankruptcy protection since last November. American first gave one explanation for the problem aboard its 757s, then gave another two days later, saying pins that hold the seats to the floor had become gummed up over time from dirt and by passengers spilling sodas and coffee. � http://host69-005.meigs.lib.oh.us/files/original/0f360c2572edd1264f8abe2dcdf69da0.pdf 23b3fbe0fb9c29cd5ebd1e73d54d2d1e PDF Text Text WEEK OF October 13, 2012 - October 19, 2012 KA Sewer completion expected summer 2013 Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — After receiving funds earlier this month for the completion of the Kanauga-Addison Sewer Project from the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, the Gallia County Board of Commissioners are now expecting the total project to be completed by midsummer. According to a release issued by the the commissioners on Friday, the $3.5 million check was received on October 5 and has been deposited into the KA Sewer Project fund for the completion of the system. Negotiations for the completion of the project began after the original contract for the sewer was terminated with Trimat Construction, Inc., in January of this year. The commission issued a seven-day notice of termination to the company on January 12, citing a “continued failure” to meet schedules and an “excessive amount of claims” placed on the project. After the termination, the project was turned over to the former contractor’s bonding company, the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, for completion. A letter issued on September 20 by the Gallia County Commissioners to the property owners affected by the sewer states that the the $3.5 million amount will allow for “adequate funding for project completion.” With the tendering of the check, the bonding company relinquished its responsibility for the completion of the project, handing that responsibility to the county commission. In the time since the termination of the original contract, the bonding company hired an outside company to “camera” and clear the entire gravity collection system in order to discover the areas of the project that need replaced. Reportedly, the entire system consists of 60,000 linear feet of sewer line and there is approximately 13,000 of that line that will need to be reconstructed as it, reportedly, does not meet project specifications. The letter issued to residents on September 20 further states that “Gallia County will also reclaim the areas disturbed by the original project construction that are not within the areas that need reconstruction work. In the areas where reconstruction work is necessary, reclamation will be completed shortly after the construction work.” Friday’s release states that the commission is currently negotiating with contractors for the project completion and notices for connection to the southern-most areas in Kanaugua and on Ohio 7 to the bowling alley — areas served by lift stations “one” and “two” — will be forthcoming in the next few weeks with total project completion anticipated for midsummer 2013. The release also states that the settlement agreement with the bonding company will provide “no additional costs to the residents nor increase in monthly sewer bills. The settlement will also cover all of the county legal fees and additional engineering costs associated with the project. Further, there will be no tap fees for residents and businesses and funding will be available for on lot hook ups for low income qualified owner occupied residents.” See SEWER ‌| 2 CCA announces Emergency HEAP start date CHESHIRE — Gallia Meigs C.A.A.’s Emergency HEAP Program will begin on Nov. 1 and continue through March 31, 2013, Sandra Edwards, Emergency Services Division Director, announced today. She said that while the weather has turned colder and the agency is anxious to assist customers, the first day the CCA will be taking calls for appointments is Friday, Oct. 26, at 8 a..m. She said residents seeking assistance may either call or walk in to book an appointment, but cautioned that “an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off.” Edwards explained that Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas and up to $450 See HEAP ‌| 2 Down home farm fun ABOVE, kids of all ages made their way to Rio Grande this weekend to take in the sights and sounds of the 42nd Annual Bob Evans Farm Festival.

RIO GRANDE — One of the newest faculty members at The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College is making a worldwide impact. Alisa Neeman, Ph.D., an assistant professor of computer science at Rio Grande, is developing and upgrading software that can be used by scientists around the world. Earlier this year, the Athens resident was selected to take part in a $2 million National Institutes of Health grant project. The grant is titled, “Computational design of specific binding proteins using Leave-One-Out.” Neeman is working with principal investigator Chris Bystroff, a researcher at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, on the project. Neeman’s job is to help Bystroff’s team share use of his protein design software, which runs on a supercomputer at the Institute. A job she says is much easier said than done. In order to allow other scientists around the world to design proteins, special software had to be used to enable access to the supercomputer from remote locations. Enter Neeman. Neeman installed the Web server software and configured it to provide remote access. She worked with IT staff at Rensselaer Polytechnic’s supercomputing center, the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI), to create multiple levels of protection and keep the data secure. Because the research is constantly evolving, Neeman must continuously adjust the Web interface and workflow software so it can use new algorithms and data. Neeman said it is satisfying to see her software being used in a research project designed to fight disease, and is looking forward to her next five years of project work. “I can talk with the students about my real-world experiences,” Neeman said. These experiences are helpful for students to understand how to apply the principles they are learning in the classroom.

For propane and fuel oil clients, the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/ bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750. Clients heating with wood or coal will be assisted up to $350 also. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The income guidelines for both programs are the same, Edwards said. However, she explained that Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month period or threemonth period for the test is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these type situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also required that you provide a birth certificate for the primary applicant, social security cards for ALL household members and proof of Student ID or Report Card if over 18 and living in your household. You will also be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 200% calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a 1 person household is $22,340, 2 persons $30,260, 3 persons $38,180, 4 persons $46,100, 5 persons $54,020, and 6 persons $61,940. Households with more than six members should add an additional $7,920 to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at all three (3) offices; Gallia C.A.A. Office, 859 3rd Avenue, Gallipolis, Central Office, 8010 N. SR 7, Cheshire or the Meigs C.A.A. Office at 369 Powell Street, Middleport, Edwards said. Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. and from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. However, she reminded that the agency cannot assist in the Emergency HEAP application process until Nov. 1. For further information, Edwards said that residents may contact the Cheshire Office at 367-7341 or 992-6629. 30, 2009, after the company presented the lowest bid for the project at $3,488,183.44. Current funding expended to date on the KanaugaAddison Sewer Project totals $5.39 million. As reported at the time of the original contract termination, the total cost for the project is $5.75 million and is being paid for through approximately $3 million in low-interest loans and $2.7 million in grant funding. According to Friday’s release, payment on the loan does not begin until the actual completion of the project. As for the grant project, State University of New York at Buffalo’s Center for Computational Research is providing the Web server, server hardware, environmental power, cooling and support for the project under a grant from NYSTAR (New York State Division of Science, Technology and Innovation). The project is using HUbzero, an open source software platform for creat- ing dynamic web sites that support scientific research and educational activities. HUBzero was created by researchers at Purdue University in conjunction with the NSF-sponsored Network for Computational Nanotechnology.

You will be able to answer that question this year. You often will feel overwhelmed. You might not know which way to go or what choices to make. Stay as level as possible, and be sure to express your authenticity and kindness. By centering yourself, you will make good decisions. If you are single, check out a potential sweetie with care. This person might be withdrawn or emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from being more vulnerable and open with each other. You will experience more warmth as a result. VIRGO makes an excellent healer for you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Communication is active, which presents you with many possibilities. Schedule a lengthy lunch with someone of interest, as you have much to share with this person. Your ability to get past a problem demonstrates once more an innate resilience. Tonight: Out with a couple of friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your creativity soars. Though some ideas might seem a little off-thewall, you’ll share them with someone who is open and willing to tell you his or her thoughts. You’ll hear from an individual who might be pivotal in the near future. Throughout the day, your softer side emerges. You’ll laugh with ease and share a lot. Tonight: Christen the weekend well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Be aware that you might be left to your own devices. Invite a friend to join you, or consider making other plans. The pressure you feel to always seem upbeat could become troublesome. Share your feelings more often. Others might think you are a handful, as you’ll want to let go and enjoy yourself. Tonight: Let your wild child out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Express feelings you normally hold back. Be direct with a family member. Your ability to share can only enhance the present situation. Do not worry about what is happening; you will land on your feet. You are like a cat with nine lives. Let your instincts guide you. Tonight: Out and about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others gravitate toward you. You could have mixed feelings about taking a risk with a recent expenditure. A loved one might like to pitch in and help you. Consider whether you can deal with the negative ramifications, then decide. Visit online Ad us goes hereat www.mydailytribune.com Horoscope Friends surround you. Tonight: TGIF with the gang. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH The Moon in Virgo highlights you, whether you’re dealing with a powerful figure in your life or just being yourself at work or at home. Others find your willingness to be vulnerable appealing. In the near future — if not today — you will receive an offer that might be too good to be true. You have earned it. Tonight: Lead the gang into the weekend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might not be comfortable with recent events. You could misinterpret what someone says and take away a different meaning than was intended. You smile, and others are drawn in. Are you willing to open up? Tonight: Do a quick vanishing act. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Picture yourself carrying Aladdin’s lamp and being granted three wishes. What would they be? You currently are in the position of manifesting an important desire. You might be surprised by what verbalizing a wish can do for a person. Tonight: A lot to smile about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Eyes tend to follow you. Are you being admired? Talked about or envied? Be aware that others are more observant than you initially thought, especially a boss. You might want to move forward with a project. This could be the perfect time for it, as long as you don’t make it personal or private. Tonight: Go where you want to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You want feedback from someone at a distance. Unless you ask, it might not be forthcoming. How you see a situation could change dramatically after detaching and/or once you let other perspectives in. Do not hold back with a friend; share your feelings. Tonight: Take off ASAP. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Rethink an important relationship in your life. How you handle a personal matter could change. You might not be ready to make a grand announcement just yet, but you will soon enough. Your creativity is on the upswing. Tonight: Your mood is contagious. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be unusually tense, as someone makes certain demands of you. Listen to a friend or loved one’s feedback, and express your feelings. Do not be intimidated — stand up for yourself. Your confidence could stop this person in his or her tracks. Tonight: Say “yes.” Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
