Stephen Bush, 63, Gallipolis, was arrested on Thursday evening following an ongoing investigation by deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of agents working as part of the Crimes Against Children Unit of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. Bush was arrested on one charge of rape after he was questioned for several hours by investigators on Thursday evening. He is currently being held in the Gallia County Jail. The alleged crime is said to have occurred between August and September of this year. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) is a branch of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. The Crimes Against Children Initiative was started by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in late 2011. Agents assigned to the unit focus exclusively on preventing crimes against children and investigating suspects who have committed such crimes. The initiative has taken a priority through his office, according to DeWine, and has helped to bring charges against multiple suspects alleged to victimized a child. “This suspect was a trusted friend of this young victim’s family,” he said. “It has always been my number one priority to protect children in this state, and people who comcrimes that may mit these heinous have been comcrimes against mitted against our youth will children in the be arrested and community, acprosecuted.” cording to Gallia Agents with County Sheriff the crimes Joe Browning. against children “Crimes like unit were called this strike at the into to assist Stephen Bush very heart of a Gallia County community, and deputies in this case.

Friday night, the group met at Bossard Library, and Henny Evans, president of the local society, talked about inventorying the cemeteries in Gallia County, told a few funny stories and talked about the local chapter located at 57 Court Street. Evans also reported on galliagenealogy.org and said that to date the number of stones added since about 2005 is more than 12,000 growing to almost 45,000 on the cemetery database. Of those, over 18,000, or 40 percent, are linked to photos. Also, quite a few are linked to obituaries. Mark Morton showed slides featuring a cemetery in Bellville, Ohio which he and Jay Russell restored. On Saturday, the group headed to Bob Evans Farms where John and Vicky Walters from Indiana were already set up and waiting. The demonstrations were informative as they took stones completely apart to level them, used fill dirt and reset the pieces one by one. Broken stones were reset and mortared and lightly sanded where there were Those in attendance at the cemetery workshop use a tripod to carefully place the repaired stone on its foundation. crevices.

The Pomeroy project was one of 11 in the state included in the program which has two segments. Both are funded through the Ohio Housing Trust Fund. The first, a Capital Improvements Program (CPI), carries a cost of $942,457. It is for minor renovations and maintenance on aging properties which are funded by the Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMNH), and includes five facilities, two of which have more than one location. The second part of the funding program amounts to $2.8 million and comes through the Housing Development Assistance Program (HDAP) which is aimed at providing flexible, low interest financing for affordable housing developments. Funding for the HDAP projects come from the Federal Home program and the Ohio Housing Trust Fund. The program has four designated projects in Ohio, including the Pomeroy Cliffs. The figure for the Pomeroy Cliffs’ work on the four residential buildings and the community building has been set at $750,000. The work on the housing project, according to a release from the OHFA Board, will include new windows, doors cabinets, flooring, plumbing fixtures and electrical components along with masonry and foundation repairs. The Ohio Housing Finance Agency is described as a “quasi-public agency governed by an 11-member board.” The agency uses See GRANT ‌| A2 Riverbend Arts Council holds talent show set for Friday Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — “Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child” is the theme of the annual talent revue to be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, on stage at the Riverbend Arts Council on North Second Street in Middleport.

Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A3 Money Matters The Market and Next Steps Stan Evans Registered Investment Advisor The stock market took it on the chin the last couple weeks, reflecting several intertwined post-election themes: Bets on a Romney win were likely unwound, investors are trading in and out of perceived sector winners and losers, while many investors are also bracing for coming tax increases. Financial, energy and technology stocks have been particularly hard-hit — driven by the regulatory landscape. Ideally, what does not happen is a repeat of August 2011, when markets went into riot mode during the debtceiling debacle and subsequent downgrade of US debt by Standard & Poor’s. Unfortunately, it is a distinct possibility. I do expect the markets — more likely on the stock side — to play an important role as a messenger to our politicians. Fiscal cliff in sharp focus Dominating the conversation as we wind out the year is the “fiscal cliff.” At this stage, there are many possibilities: 1. Fall off the cliff entirely; 2. Short-term deal with only partial Bush tax-cut expiration and delays or deals on other components; 3. Grand bargain; 4. Full kick-the-can; 5. Kick-the-can, but strike outline of eventual deal as “down payment.” It’s our perspective that the full kick-thecan option may be even less favorable for the market and economy than falling off the cliff altogether. Frankly, cankicking has become a sport played too often in Washington. Look, we know what the problems are — waiting for some period of months won’t provide new solutions. We have a model for the perils of perpetual can-kicking and it’s the debacle that is the Eurozone. Coiled springs I do see some coiled springs in the economy that could be loosened if/when a deal on the fiscal cliff comes to fruition. We’ve seen several phases of meaningful economic traction since the Great Recession ended in mid-2009, only to be squashed by oftenpolitical forces. Busi- nesses have been hoarding a record amount of cash as they await more certainty on the tax/ spending front. I do fear, however, that more market rioting may be needed before our politicians are forced into action. What should you do? Six easy steps: 1. The biggest decision you will make is how much to allocate to different investment categories (Equity, Fixed, Cash). Asset allocation is all about finding the mix of investments that is right for your situation. Goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance are some of the key factors that should be taken into consideration when allocating assets. 2. Diversify, diversify, diversify. Have assets spread across large and small cap growth, large and small cap value, International large cap growth and value, taxable and tax exempt bonds, and cash equivalents. 3. Lower your costs. Do not own expensive products like variable annuities or mutual funds, unless your retirement plan requires it. The costs of owning a fund is called the expense ratio. (This is distinct from the costs of buying a fund, which is the sales loads.) The expense ratio (paid by you every year!) represents the percentage of the fund’s assets that go purely toward the expense of running the fund. The expense ratio covers the investment advisory fee, the administrative costs, 12b-1 distribution fees, and other operating expenses. The nifty thing about the expense ratio is that it wraps all these various costs and expenses into one number so that you don’t have to do a lot of math. Currently the typical expense ratio for an actively managed mutual fund is about 1.5%, and that number has been going up lately. 4. Do not purchase long term bonds. Keep a maturity from 1-8 years. I can assure you, if you buy long term bonds in this low interest rate environment your principal will get hammered when Mr. Bernanke and the Fed inch up interest rates. 5. Maximize your contribution to your 401(k), 403(B), or IRA. 6. Meet with your advisor and talk about #1-4 above. Stan Evans is a fee-based financial planner and registered investment advisor.

Visit us online @ mydailytribune.com or mydailysentinel.com 60367882 60371352 �Sunday Times-Sentinel Opinion Ohio was crucial politically for Abraham Lincoln, too Dan Sewell, The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Long before Mitt Romney and Barack Obama wrestled over Ohio, it was also a crucial political battleground state for Abraham Lincoln. So much so that when he received word of the results of the state’s 1863 elections, Lincoln said in a message: “Ohio has saved the Nation.” “Ohio was almost a civil war unto itself,” said historian William B. Styple, whose latest book focuses on a Cincinnati politician who was an influential aide to Union Gen. George B. McClellan, who ran against Lincoln in 1864. “There was a lot of turmoil in that state.” Ohio was home to some of the Union’s most successful generals, led by Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman and Philip Sheridan, as well as Lincoln’s secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, and treasury secretary, Salmon Chase. Lincoln brought Chase into his Cabinet after the former Ohio governor lost his bid for the Republican nomination in 1860 to Lincoln, as recounted in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s best-selling book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.” Much of Stephen Spielberg’s new “Lincoln” movie, opening widely Friday, is drawn from the book. But Ohio also was a home to McClellan, his adviser Col. Thomas M. Key, and other critics of Lincoln such as former U.S. Sen. William Allen and Rep. Clement Vallandigham. Vallandigham would lead the stridently anti-war “Copperhead” movement. Many Ohioans, especially along the river, had roots, relatives and friends in Virginia or other parts of the South, and considered the issue of slavery a matter of states’ rights. And even after Southern states seceded and Confederates shelled U.S. troops at Fort Sumter, S.C., there were differenc- es in Ohio over the goals of going to war. Historians say that some Ohioans worried the state would be flooded with newly freed slaves if the war resulted in emancipation, that there was sometimes-violent opposition to the federal army draft, and that others simply thought there should be more efforts at peaceful compromise. “If you were on the north side of the (Ohio) river, in real time, during that war, you would have found a very, very deeply divided populace,” said University of Cincinnati history professor and author Christopher Phillips. Ohioans contributed to the Union Army in high numbers, and McClellan, Philadelphia-born but a Cincinnati resident who was Ohio’s militia commander, led some of the Union’s first successful engagements of the war. Lincoln soon put him in command of the Army of the Potomac, which McClellan helped build up and train. But McClellan, who warned that emancipation of slaves would undermine the Union effort, and Key, a Kentucky-born judge and lawyer in Cincinnati, were Democrats who had supported Stephen Douglas for president against Lincoln in 1860, Styple writes. Historians say McClellan privately referred to Lincoln as “a gorilla,” and Goodwin’s book has accounts of McClellan keeping the president waiting, including once going to bed while Lincoln sat expecting to see him. Lincoln grew impatient with McClellan for other reasons — the general’s cautious approach to the war and failure to pursue Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army after the bloody 1862 battle of Antietam in Maryland. Styple was researching a biography of his New Jersey hometown’s namesake — Union Gen. Philip Kearny, killed in another 1862 battle — when he found letters and accounts that led to his interest in Thomas Key.

During the war, Lincoln worried about what he called “the fire in the rear” — opposition within the North. Vallandigham led Peace Democrats, or Copperheads, in Ohio, denouncing “King Lincoln” until he was finally arrested and exiled by Lincoln to the South. He made his way to Canada and was the Democrats’ nominee for Ohio governor in 1863. Chase, Lincoln’s treasury secretary and former Ohio governor, returned to Ohio to campaign for the pro-Union candidate John Brough, Goodwin writes. When Brough won in a landslide, Lincoln wired his congratulations: “Glory to God in the highest. Ohio has saved the Nation.” McClellan jumped into politics as the 1864 Democratic presidential candidate, with Cincinnati Congressman George Pendleton as his running mate. Union battlefield victories including the Sherman-led capture of Atlanta rallied support for Lincoln in the North and among the troops, and he handily carried Ohio with 56 percent of the vote in his re-election. Lincoln thus kept up what would become a historical trend that he began when elected the nation’s 16th president in 1860 — that a Republican presidential candidate has never won the White House without winning Ohio. That trend continues today, after Republican nominee Romney’s loss to Democrat Obama in Ohio, a state both sides made a focal point of their 2012 campaign. Page A4 Sunday, November 18, 2012 Letters to the Editor: Congress must maintain existing tax provisions Dear Editor, The American dream isn’t about working hard, investing wisely and spending sensibly in order to leave something for Uncle Sam. But farmers and other family business owners will be required to do just that unless Congress acts to maintain existing provisions of the federal estate tax. When it’s time to meet our maker, what’s left behind should be for our kids, not the IRS. A Tax Foundation survey of more than 2,000 Americans rated estate taxes the most unfair of all taxes. Sixty-four percent of Ohioans supported last year’s elimination of the state’s death tax. Nobody likes Washington double-dipping. Farmers and family business owners have already paid income, sales, capital gains, real estate and sometimes even previous estate taxes on everything they’ve built over a lifetime. A tax that exists just to tax again is just plain wrong. This is also a jobs issue. Farm and family business earnings are poured back into land, buildings and equipment, which boosts the local economy, but often leaves insufficient cash to pay the death tax when the owner passes away. Heirs are forced to sell all or part of their heritage to cover the government’s covetous tab, which results in fewer local businesses to hire local employees. Overly burdensome estate taxes kill jobs. When a lifetime of paying taxes comes to an end, fairness demands legacies be handed down to families, not handed over to the tax man. Please join Ohio Farm Bureau in asking Congress to maintain existing provisions of the federal estate tax. John C. (Jack) Fisher, Executive Vice President Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Reader tired of Point Pleasant’s double standard Dear Editor, On November 13, 2012, I attended the city council meeting here in Point Pleasant to address the issue of “the project” at 209 9th Street. I had taken the trouble to make visual presentations. I took photos of properties owned by the Historic Landmark Council members that are in bad disrepair. I also took pictures of projects done by these same members to their own properties that were similar to the work, now stopped, on 209 9th Street. Granted, the pictures I took, their property projects were on a much larger scale, but similar. I’ll bet they weren’t met with any resistence by either council — city or historic. I also took a photo of the only landmark visible by way of Viand Street — the graveyard — which proves to me 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. that this council is all about money, state and federal grants, income tax credits and rebates, and not so much about history. The is now a statue of a monster in what’s now no longer Gunn Park. During my short research in W.Va. zoning laws, I found that the city council has the power to give this property owner a little thing called a “spot zone” change, which would end this. My presentation was met with zilch, except for the smirk-like grin on one of the councilmen’s faces. It could have been gas, I don’t know, but it was the same man who knocked on their door for a vote! There is undue and money-fueled influence in every city, but I believe we have the lion’s share right here. How could they have done the work on their own properties then pass ordinances so that no one else can? This is only a little of the filth I dug up. It felt like a joke when we all stood for the Pledge of Allegiance. No more 14th Amendment rights for property owners in this town, run by self-important know-it-alls and cowards, in my opinion. Teresa L. Nibert Point Pleasant, W.Va. Reader disgusted with Boehner’s antics Dear Editor, John Andrew Boehner, Speaker of the House of Representatives, should understand that half of America does not belong to the wealthy and half of this great country does not belong to the middle class and the poor; we are all united for the common good and purpose to make this great nation work for all. In this modern world in which we all live, paying our fair share of taxes should not divide us. In my opinion, it is an insult to the intelligence of all Americans when John A. Boehner made the claim that half of the people in America making over $250,000 are small business owners; and therefore should not pay more taxes. This claim does not hold water; many of the small business owners, Republicans and Democrats, voted to reelect President Obama. It is time for Speaker Boehner to stand up to the right wing elements in the House of Representatives. The voters that gave President Obama a second term are very much aware of the stonewalling that existed in President Obama’s first term; the right wing elements wanted Obama to fail to prevent a second term. Obama won; and it’s time for the House of Representatives to restore some trust by working for the people to avert the “Fiscal Cliff. “ It is in their hands to undo their damage.

At least four veterans were killed in the collision Thursday afternoon. The float took the full force of the train at a railroad crossing in Midland. Some managed to jump clear as the train bore down on the float decorated with American flags. Horrified spectators could only watch as the carnage unfolded. Pam Shoemaker from Monroe, La., said she and her husband, a special operations veteran, were on the float ahead of the one that was struck. Shoemaker described how the celebration so quickly turned sour. She said her truck had just crossed the tracks and was moving slowly but never stopped. All around, the crowds lining the parade route cheered. “It was beautiful,” she said Friday. “There were lots of people with signs. Children yelling ‘thank you!’ waving flags.” Then they heard the train coming. There was no warning — she hadn’t seen or heard it until it was upon them. The Shoemakers jumped from their truck and ran toward the other one, knowing it would be hit in a matter of seconds. The crossing barriers had just started to come down, she said. “We started to jump off of our trailer. We saw people jumping from the other trailer and then there was the impact,” Shoemaker said. Sudip Bose, who was a frontline physician in Iraq, said Friday that the immediate aftermath reminded him of a combat triage situation. Veterans were already tending to the wounded when he reached the crash site. Bystanders tried to help with the limited medical supplies available. “Instincts kicked in. They were applying tourniquets, holding pressure to the wounds,” said Bose, who served in Fallujah and Baghdad and was volunteering at the parade. Sixteen other people were hurt in the crash. “It was a scene of total chaos,” said Bose, of nearby Odessa. Shoemaker credited the training and courage of the veterans who jumped to help the injured. Her husband, Tommy, resuscitated one person and applied a tourniquet to a bleeding woman. “They are trained for tragedy,” Shoemaker said. Spectators described their horror and helplessness as the train hurtled toward the flatbed tractortrailer that was unable to move because of other floats in the parade. Gulf rig fire leaves four workers critical, two missing Shop Locally & Save Locally fire, but Cubanski said 11 people were flown from the platform to area hospitals or for treatment on shore by emergency medical workers. Taslin Alfonzo, spokeswoman for West Jefferson Medical Center in suburban New Orleans, said four injured workers were brought to the hospital in critical condition with second- and third-degree burns over much of their bodies. Two were sent by ambulance to the Baton Rouge Burn Center. Two others were to be sent later. She could not release identities or any other information. The production platform owned by Black Elk Energy is about 25 miles southeast of Grand Isle. The Coast Guard said 26 people were aboard the platform at the time of the explosion. The platform is for oil production from an established well, unlike the Deepwater Horizon rig, which was drilling an exploratory well for oil giant BP in mile-deep water when it blew up and triggered a massive oil spill in 2010. That site is well to the east of Friday’s explosion. Cubanski said the platform appeared to be structurally sound. After the April 2010 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon, that rig burned for about 36 hours before suffering structural collapse and sinking to the Gulf floor. The Black Elk platform is in 56 feet of water. Cubanski said 28 gallons of oil were in the broken line. The Coast Guard got the call about the fire at 8:42 a.m. CST. A federal official in Washington said a team of environmental enforcement inspectors was flying to the scene. David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said the team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the Coast Guard was noti- fied of the emergency. Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion. Black Elk is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company’s website says it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms. Associated Press Writer Kevin McGill in New Orleans contributed to this story. 60372088 VENICE, La. (AP) — An explosion and fire ripped through a Gulf oil platform Friday as workers used a cutting torch, sending four people to a hospital with critical burns and leaving two missing in waters off Louisiana. Coast Guard Capt. Ed Cubanski told a news conference in New Orleans the well was not producing at the time and no oil was leaking. A small amount of oil spilled from the rig when workers using a torch cut into a 75-foot-long, 3-inch-wide line on the platform. Cubanski said a sheen one-half mile long and 200 yards wide was reported in the area. “It’s not going to be an uncontrolled discharge from everything we’re getting right now,” Cubanski said. The fire had since been extinguished, Coast Guard spokesman Drake Fore said. He said Coast Guard aircraft and boats were searching for two missing people.

Friday’s decision by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati affects fewer than 2,000 of the more than 200,000 provisional votes cast on Nov. 6. It puts on hold a lower court’s order that Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted issue a new directive from his office regarding the ballots. At issue is whether voters or poll workers should record the form of ID used on provisional ballots, such as military ID or a utility bill, when voters don’t bring proper ID. An order by Husted the Friday before the election put the burden on voters, and the appeals court ruling upheld that. Husted complained that a ruling by federal judge Algenon Marbley Operation Christmas Child Drop-off Location GALLIPOLIS — A new drop-off location for Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts is the French City Baptist Church, 3554 Ohio 160, Gallipolis, Ohio.

The appeals court dismissed claims by voter advocates that Husted’s pre-election order would cause permanent harm to voters lacking proper ID or was a dramatic policy shift. Instead, the court called it “a modest clarification of a policy that was in place for months.” The court added: “Changing the rules by which votes are counted after they have already been cast compromises the interest of Ohio, the Secretary, and the general public in fair and orderly election procedures.” It was the second time in two weeks that the appeals court overruled Marbley to side with Husted on a provisional ballot dispute. Husted in a statement called the ruling “vindication” and said Ohio ran a smooth, legal and constitutional election.

Joiner poured in a career-high 27 points and the University of Rio Grande survived a second half comeback effort by Cumberland University to pull away for a 74-55 win over the Bulldogs, Thursday night, in the Mid-South Conference men’s basketball opener for both schools at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm, who won their conference season opener for the first time since join- ing the MSC four years ago, improved to 3-2 with the victory. Cumberland, which was making its debut as a full-time member of the league - in addition to playing Rio Grande for the first time in school history — saw its overall record even at 2-2 with the loss. Rio Grande used a 9-0 first half run to open up an 11-point lead inside the game’s first nine minutes and extended the advantage to as many as 18 points before settling on a 37-21 edge at the intermission. The RedStorm lead reached 19 points, 40-21, one minute into the second half, but the Bulldogs mounted a methodical comeback over the next 11 minutes and closed the gap to just eight, 53-45, following a three-pointer by Lester Gude with 8:18 left in the contest. Rio responded, though, with a 7-0 run of its own over the next minute-and-a-half to build the advantage back to 15 points and led by no less than 13 points the rest of the way. Head coach Ken French’s team enjoyed its biggest lead of the night, 74-53, after a bucket by Joiner with nine sec- onds left to play. Joiner scored 16 of his points after halftime in helping the RedStorm slow the Bulldogs’ comeback attempt. He also finished with six rebounds and a pair of steals. Rio Grande, which shots 45.5 percent (25-for-55) as a team in the win, also was the beneficiary of an 11-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist outing from junior guard Jermaine Warmack. Brian Blackmon was the only double-figure scorer for Cumberland, finishing with 12 points. The Bulldogs shot just 33.9 percent from the field overall (19-for-56), including 8-for-26 from three-point range, and were outrebounded 40-32. Creshaun Holt led CU with five rebounds. Rio Grande closes out its season-opening six-game homestand on Saturday when the University of the Cumberlands visits for a 3 p.m. tipoff. The Patriots, who were ranked 25th in the MSC preseason coaches poll, edged Shawnee State, 67-63, in their MSC opener on Thursday night.

Nick Wilson and Joe Taranto will represent the RedStorm on the men’s side, while Kayla Renner will be among those vying for the women’s crown.

Renner earned her way to the national championship meet by finishing seventh in the MSC championship. The senior finished the 5K course in a time of 19:43. “The kids are excited and I’m excited for them,” said Rio Grande head coach Bob Willey, shortly before departing with the trio on Tuesday night for a Wednesday morning flight to nearby Portland, Oregon. “I think Nick, in particular, has a chance to be an All-American. His times have gotten progressively better as the year has gone on. Joe and Kayla both could get there, too, if they continue to run well.

The Bulldogs, who were making their debut as a full-time member of the MSC, closed the first half on a 37-8 run and overwhelmed the RedStorm, 92-56, at the Newt Oliver Arena. Cumberland improved to 5-0 overall with the win, while also avenging a six-point loss to Rio Grande last season. The RedStorm slipped to 2-2 with the loss. Rio Grande trailed just 19-15 following a jumper by junior forward Kate Hammond with 11:49 left in the first half, but the Bulldogs set sail on their lopsided scoring spurt to open up a 56-23 lead at the intermission. Cumberland continued to pull away after the break and led by as many as 49 points, 82-33, after Casie Cowan hit one of two free throw attempts with 6:56 remaining in the game.

The report will include deer killed by longbow, crossbow, shotgun, handgun and muzzleloader. Most of us who hunt as youngsters, we learned to hunt from an older family member generally a father or uncle, but of course today there are a greater number of outdoorswomen who are also passing along the tradition of enjoying the outdoors to their sons and daughters. The techniques and equipment have changed a lot over the years; when I was growing up a store-bought deer stand was a rarity and four-wheelers didn’t exist, but my how things have changed. My co-worker Jenny came into the office earlier this week and showed us a video of her daughter harvesting a dandy southeastern Ohio buck, with the experience captured dutifully captured on her smart phone and promptly put up on Facebook for all of her friends and family to see. It’s a commonplace occurrence these days; everyone it seems has a smart phone to capture photos and video of everything (and that could be a topic for another day), but my point is that it still marks an important rite of passage for a young person and a shared memory for young and old alike. So if you get the chance, make sure to take a youngster along and share the wild. Set the example and hunt legal, hunt smart and hunt safe. Dr. Stephen Shy D.O.

Little wonder there’s such unrest in Kansas City. Long one of the NFL’s most passionate fan bases, Chiefs supporters have turned increasingly hostile in recent weeks. Twice fans have paid for banners to be flown behind airplanes asking for general manager Scott Pioli to be fired — they haven’t gotten their wish yet — and this Sunday, they’re expected to come dressed in black to mourn another lost season. They should blend in well with all the Bengals fans dressed in black and orange. “We’re frustrated. Everybody is frustrated. None of us envisioned this, or none of us want to be 1-8, and the fans are frustrated as well,” said Cassel, who lost his job to Brady Quinn, only to get it right back when Quinn sustained his second concussion three weeks ago. Quinn still had not been cleared early in the week, meaning Cassel will start Sunday. “At the same time, we have a job to do,” Cassel continued, “and we’re going to go out there and do our job to the best of our ability. Hopefully, that results in a win and we can change the atmosphere and the environment around here.” The environment is slowly starting to change in Cincinnati. The Bengals (4-5) made the playoffs last year for only the third time since the 1990 season, which is also the last time they won a postseason game. They haven’t made it in back-to-back years since 1981-82, something that seemed all but written off just a week ago. Cincinnati started off 3-1, the only loss coming at perennial contender Baltimore, but then came a string of four straight losses that left some cynics saying, “Same ‘ol Cincy.” Well, the Bengals showed last Sunday that’s not the case. Facing the defending Super Bowl champions, Cincinnati roughed up Giants quarterback Eli Manning, forced four second-half turnovers and saw second-year QB Andy Dalton throw a career-best four touchdown passes — each to different receivers — in a 3113 rout. “If you look at all our games and just evaluate us on a game-by-game basis, we felt that was the standard of how we should play each week,” Bengals cornerback Chris Crocker said. “You can always every week make adjustments and get better. That’s the thing this week, it’s coming out and playing just like we played last week, and just try to build on it.” The Bengals still have plenty of work left — they’re two games behind second-place Pittsburgh in the AFC North, and three back of the Ravens. But they’re also beginning a stretch of five games against teams with sub-.500 records, starting with lowly Kansas City. “We had a good attitude going last week,” Dalton said. “The way we started the game, we started fast, scoring quick. We’ve just got to use that as momentum. We’ve got to keep it going, we’ve got to take it into this week and take it on the road against Kansas City. “We’ve got to come out and play the way we did on Sunday.” Submitted Photo Pictured above are the 2012 fall scholar athletes for River Valley.

(AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals firmly believe they’re still on the road to respectability, just as the Kansas City Chiefs are wondering if they’ll ever hit rock bottom. One thing is certain: There could be a lot of people wearing black inside Arrowhead Stadium when the teams meet on Sunday. The Bengals, coming off a confidence-boosting win over the Giants last weekend, visit a disheveled Chiefs team that’s floundered to six straight losses. Kansas City still has only led in regulation once this season, and its only win came after a franchise-record comeback. “They’re going to come in here and feel like they have a good chance to win another game,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said, “but if we work on our attitude, our effort and the things we did Monday night, clean up one or two things, I think we’re going to play good. That’s the focus.” Been the focus all season, too. It hasn’t mattered. Kansas City’s latest letdown came last Monday night, when it rallied in the final minutes to force overtime at Pittsburgh. Matt Cassel promptly threw an interception after the Chiefs won the coin toss, once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The Chiefs (1-8) were expected to contend for the AFC West this season. Instead, they’ve committed a league-leading 30 turnovers, suffered season-ending injuries to three starters, had both of its quarterbacks go down with concussions, and shown a startling lack of professionalism.

Both quarterbacks have to answer to unsightly interception numbers. Other than that, Dallas and Cleveland are in very different places going into Sunday’s game at Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys (4-5) made it through the difficult, road-heavy part of their schedule with their playoff path barely navigable, but navigable nonetheless. Tony Romo and company now get five of the season’s final seven games at home, and only one of those opponents — Pittsburgh — has a winning record. The Browns (2-7) have more reason to think about next season than postseason as they come off their bye week. After the Cowboys, Cleveland and rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden still have the Steelers twice and a visit to Denver against Peyton Manning. “I think you try to stay away from the schedule, whether it’s good or bad,” Dallas tight end Jason Witten said. “You really can’t worry about what’s outside, and what record, and who’s playing who. You’ve got to worry about your opponent that upcoming week. This league’s too hard to try to do anything else other than that.” Two weeks ago, Romo was far ahead of Weeden and the other four rookie NFL starters with 13 interceptions. But Weeden and some veterans are closing in after Romo had consecutive turnover-free games against Atlanta and Philadelphia. The Cowboys didn’t beat the Falcons, but they rallied past the Eagles sparked in part by a Romo scramble and completion that kept Dallas from trailing going into the fourth quarter. Dallas fans have always wondered what would happen if Romo ever combined risky magic acts with stingy ball protection, and they might find out in three straight home games ending with a Philadelphia rematch Dec. 2. “Every week he’s going to be challenged the same way,” coach Jason Garrett said. “We never want to get to the point where he’s got it down pat. He doesn’t have it down pat. Nobody does. That position is too challenging. So you’ve got to make sure you’re thinking about it the right way every week, you’re taking care of the ball every week and you pick your spots every week.” Every week seems to bring on new issues for Garrett. He spent the week before the Cowboys beat the Eagles addressing questions of whether suspended New Orleans coach Sean Payton would take his job after a report that the NFL had voided his contract with the Saints. He also had to answer criticism from his old coach, Jimmy Johnson, about whether the Dallas practice facility was a “country club.” On the day of the Philadelphia game, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had to respond to a report that ousted Cleveland president Mike Holmgren was interested in Dallas after he said he might return to coaching when the Browns let him go. It’s no secret that Jones and Holmgren are close, but Holmgren emphatically said he would never show interest in somebody else’s job while they still had it. The Philly win quieted the chatter, but a loss to last-place Cleveland wouldn’t help Garrett. “All your focus has to be on this week and getting one win,” Witten said. “I thought we did a good job of that amongst the distractions outside.” Browns coach Pat Shurmur has a stronger case for distractions than Garrett. He has a new owner, a new president, and a 6-19 record in his second season. His roster is young and promising, starting with rookies Weeden, an olderthan-usual newcomer who has 12 interceptions but is showing improvement, and receiver Josh Gordon, who leads first-year receivers with 417 yards and is tied for first with four touchdowns. Trent Richardson is third among rookie running backs with 575 yards. Whether playing for Shurmur or playing for pride, the Browns say they’ll play. “Playoffs or not, when you’re out there, you never want to get beat,” Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. “People in here … rock, paper, scissors, you don’t want no one to beat you. It’s just the nature of the NFL, that no matter when you’re out there, you’re fighting to win.” If Shurmur doesn’t keep his job, Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan could be a candidate to replace him. Ryan was the defensive coordinator in Cleveland for two seasons prior to coming to Dallas, and the reunion has been a hot topic this week. Ryan’s first season in Dallas wasn’t good, but the Cowboys are holding Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Karen Schiely l Akron Beacon Journal l MCT photo Cleveland Browns tight end Alex Smith and head coach Pat Shurmur look up at a replay of a controversial run back call during the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns Stadium on September 9 in Cleveland, Ohio. steady at eighth in total defense despite losing star linebacker Sean Lee and safety Barry Church for the season, along with extended absences for several other key players. “I don’t think we’ll be able to take a whole lot away from his time here because really, I mean, the personnel is nearly, totally different,” said Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas. “I know guys on the defense love playing for him. He’s a guy who’s tough to prepare for because of how detailed he is and how he calls his games.” While the Cowboys prepare for a rare rash of home games, there is debate about whether cavernous Cowboys Stadium is much of an advantage. Dallas is 1-2 this season and 14-13 since the $1.2 billion showplace opened — with just two November wins. Local radio chatter is filled with complaints that the place people go to worship the Cowboys is about as loud as a church on Sunday. “That’s all on us,” said cornerback Brandon Carr, who had his first interception for the Cowboys and his first career touchdown on the return against the Eagles. “We have to create the atmosphere. We’ve got to defend our home turf. Once you start doing that, then the fans will take some pride in us playing at home.” �Sunday, November 18, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B6 Gordon’s anger at Bowyer dates back 7 months HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — When Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon made contact in the closing laps at Phoenix, Gordon was overcome by a grudge he’d been carrying at least seven months. The four-time NASCAR champion retaliated by intentionally wrecking Bowyer, triggering a garage-area melee. Gordon’s reputation took a hit among his peers and he was fined $100,000 by NASCAR. But he avoided suspension and will race Sunday in the season finale at HomesteadMiami Speedway, where he’ll celebrate his 20th anniversary with sponsor DuPont and Hendrick Motorsports. He admitted Friday that DuPont had initial concerns NASCAR would park him this weekend for his actions Sunday at Phoenix, but he never worried he wouldn’t race at Homestead and he’s not sorry for wrecking Bowyer. “The thing that I regret and the thing that I messed up on is that I allowed my anger and my emotions to put me in a position to make a bad choice,” Gordon said. “I felt like Clint needed to be dealt with, but that wasn’t the right way to go about it, certainly not the right time. And what I hate most about it is that other guys were involved with it and it affected their day.” The wreck collected Joey Logano and Aric Almirola, and championship points leader Brad Keselowski had to dodge his way around the accident scene. It also triggered a brawl in the garage between Gordon’s crew and Bowyer’s crew that has received as much attention as the championship race between Keselowski and five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. It has also thrust the 41-yearold Gordon into the headlines at the end of yet another disappointing season. He was docked 25 points for Sunday’s bad behavior, which dropped him to 11th in the Sprint Cup Series standings in this one-win season. He hasn’t won a championship since 2001, and teammate Johnson, who came on board in 2002, will race for his sixth title Sunday. So his actions on Sunday were certainly that of a frustrated driver, and he admitted wrecking Bowyer sent a message to the garage. “I don’t think they’re going to be messing with me for a little while. I think they realize that that message was sent pretty clear,” Gordon said. “Throughout the last couple years, I feel like one thing that maybe I haven’t done enough of is show the fire inside me that I have to want to win and want to win championships. And I think that while I would have liked to have gone about it differently on Sunday, I think it did show that that fire and passion is inside of me in a big way.” So big that he’d been angry with Bowyer since Martinsville in April, when Bowyer played a role in costing Hendrick Motorsports its 200th victory. The race had been dominated that day by Gordon and Johnson, and a late caution had set up a restart with the teammates lined up sideby-side at the front. Bowyer re-started in the second row, on new tires, and got a shove from behind from Ryan Newman. He dove to the inside of Gordon and Johnson, made contact, and all three wrecked. It was a crushing defeat for the Hendrick camp, which was moments away from celebrating a historic victory at Martinsville, site of some of the team’s most significant triumphs and its most heartbreaking tragedy. A Hendrick plane crashed en route to a 2004 race at Martinsville, among the 10 people on board were Hendrick’s brother, son, twin nieces, key team personnel and a DuPont representative. At the April race with Hendrick, for the first time since the 2004 plane crash, were the widows of Hendrick’s brother and the DuPont executive. “We were all wanting to win more than anything, more than any championship. The 200th win at Martinsville meant so much to all of us because we lost so much there,” Hendrick said Friday. “And that was taken away from us. Both of our cars were wrecked on the last lap and next to last lap and it was by the 15 car (Bowyer). I have never hurt as bad in my life leaving the race track as I did that day. It took me a week or so to get over it just because we had it in our grasp. And that’s just emotions that we carry and nobody else. So I think that situation, along with some other things that happened along the way, you know, you don’t forget it.” Bowyer and Gordon spoke at the track that day, and Bowyer texted Hendrick after the race. The two drivers have had other on-track incidents between them this season, including another run-in at Martinsville last month, but they had a conversation after that, too. But something made Gordon snap late in Sunday at Phoenix, when enough was finally enough when he and Bowyer got together. When Gordon retaliated, it mathematically eliminated Bowyer from championship contention, but Gordon said Bowyer has to accept responsibility for putting himself in that position. “If you’re contending for the championship, you’ve got to be as smart about the things you do on the race track as the guys that you’re racing that might be outside the championship,” Gordon said. “And there was absolutely no reason to run into me.” Bowyer was still angry Friday about the Phoenix incident and didn’t want to discuss Gordon. “I don’t want to talk about it. I really don’t,” he said as he walked from pit road to his team hauler. Asked how long it would take for him to get past his anger, Bowyer said he didn’t know, “It’ll be a while.” And when told he’s not one to usually hold a grudge, he replied, “I’m usually not a guy that usually causes any trouble, either.” The only thing Gordon feels badly about is Logano getting collected in the accident. He said he spoke to Logano on the phone and “I can’t say it went exactly very well” and he’d like to follow-up at the track. Logano agreed the call did not go well. “I reached out for an apology and I didn’t get one, and I got hung up on,” Logano said. “But he did text me, and I’m sure we’ll meet up at some point. We’re going to be able to go out and figure it out. We’re big boys.” As for what’s next, Gordon doesn’t know. But he understands the attention on the incident with Bowyer, and the effect it might have on the season finale. “I would tune in the following Sunday and see what happens,” he said. New faces, same old stakes for Ravens and Steelers years after he won one, the former first round draft pick will take the snaps when the streaking Steelers (6-3) host the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) with first place in the AFC North on the line. Watching good friend and teammate Ben Roethlisberger go down with a sprained right shoulder and dislocated rib isn’t the way Leftwich wanted to step back into the spotlight. Still, it’s what the 32-year-old signed up for when he decided to re-sign with the Steelers last summer rather than try and revive his career as a starter elsewhere. Leftwich relishes the opportunity to get back on the field. The end of life in relative anonymity? Not so much. “I joke with Ben all the time, I don’t miss this part of being a quarterback in the NFL,” Leftwich said. “All those conference calls, all those interviews. I tell him all the time I don’t really miss that part of it.” Maybe, but he better get used to it. Roethlisberger is out indefinitely, the latest familiar face to be rendered highly paid bystander to one of the league’s most heated rivalries. The Steelers will also be without star safety Troy Polamalu, who will miss his sixth straight game with a right calf injury, while Baltimore captain Ray Lewis remains on the injured reserve-return list with a torn triceps. “It’s definitely going to be different, a different feel,” Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “But once that whistle blows and the bullets become live, I don’t expect anything less than traditional Ravens/Steelers.” Suggs admitted he’s “disappointed” he won’t get a chance to chase after Roethlisberger, though he’ll find Leftwich to be a more stationary target. The big-armed seventh overall pick in the 2003 draft hasn’t started since playing three forgettable losses with Tampa Bay in 2009. His last victory in a game in which he took the first offensive snap came on Oct. 8, 2006 when Jacksonville crushed the New York Jets. “I haven’t heard that,” Leftwich said. “Really?” Really. It’s been even longer since the Steelers beat the Ravens with somebody other than Roethlisberger under center. Though he’s one of the most durable quarterbacks in the league, Roethlisberger has missed four games against Baltimore through the years. It’s not a coincidence the Steelers are 0-4 in those contests. Yet Leftwich is confident he can be effective even if he knows he’s can’t replicate the kind of play-extending heroics that have become Roethlisberger’s trademark. “Let’s be honest, I’m not going to run around, make 2-3 guys miss, roll all the way to the left and find Mike Wallace in the back of the end zone,” Leftwich said. “I’m not capable of doing that. But what I can do is get the ball in the right people’s hands and just be myself.” The Steelers believe that will be enough. Pittsburgh went 3-1 in 2010 when Roethlisberger sat out the first four games while serving a suspension for conduct detrimental to the league and Charlie Batch guided the Steelers to a 27-0 rout of St. Louis last December while Roethlisberger nursed a tender left ankle. “Sure, we went through some games without Ben ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� 60372075 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Byron Leftwich stared into the sea of cameras and started to laugh.

Baltimore is ranked 26th in the league in yards against and has registered just 16 sacks. In some ways, the balance of power has switched to the right arm of quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice. The franchise’s identity, however, remains firmly in the grasp of the defense, one that’s trying to find its way without Lewis’ emotional leadership and the playmaking ability of injured cornerback Lardarius Webb. “When you change something, change is permanent,” Suggs said. “You don’t want to do something one week and then not do it the next. So, we fared pretty well the last two weeks, and we’re just trying to keep it going. So, it’s nothing to be happy about. Then again, it’s nothing to not look at. So, we’re just going to keep trying to get better around here.” Something the Steelers have been doing over the last month since a miserable 2-3 start had critics touting the window for the core that’s been to three Super Bowls over the last seven seasons had finally closed. Pittsburgh responded by winning four straight behind a defense that again is tops in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and an offense that was humming along with Roethlisberger at the peak of his powers. He was on pace for career highs in attempts, completions and touchdowns when Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali pounded the quarterback’s right side into the Heinz Field turf on Monday night. Now he goes from MVP candidate to mentor, doing for Leftwich what Leftwich has done for him throughout the years. Not that Roethlisberger thinks a guy who was starting in the NFL when Roethlisberger was still in college needs a pep talk every time he jogs off the field. “Byron knows how to play this game,” Roethlisberger said. “He knows how to play at a high level and I’m just going support him and give him everything he needs.” Leftwich isn’t overwhelmed by the pressure. He knows what’s at stake. �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2012 Along the River C1 Pomeroy Fire Department — 1847 to 2012 Celebrating 165 years of community service Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — It was in 1847 — 165 years ago this month — after a major fire struck Pomeroy, that a small group of men got together to organize the Pomeroy Fire Department, one of the first volunteer units in the State of Ohio. Those first dedicated volunteer fire fighters, who had watched as a section of Pomeroy burned, set up stations in four sections of town, and for the next 50 years operated what might be described as a bucket brigade to fight fires that occurred. Near the turn of the century, The Barckoff Organ Co. moved into town and built a factory just off Spring Avenue in Pomeroy, which was then a growing and prosperous community. Barckoff wanted good fire protection, and to get it, his company provided the first real fire-fighting equipment for the Pomeroy Fire Department. It consisted of a steam pumper and a hose wagon and reel. The equipment was stored in the ward houses, and the horses to pull it were stabled at the rear of the old Pomeroy Village Hall located on a lot adjacent to what is now the New Beginnings Methodist Church on Second Street. In those early years when a fire struck, the tolling of the courthouse bell signaled the vol- Sentinel file photos This hose wagon was provided to the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department by the owner of the Barckoff Organ Co. just after the turn of the 20th century. The uniformed volunteer firemen were from the Second Ward which was located in the Condor Street area. unteer firemen to their posts. Records show that by 1908 the department had 77 volunteers on its Tom and Bob were Pomeroy’s first fire horses. They were stabled in the back of the old Pomeroy Village Hall building on Second Street. roll. About that time, more equipment was purchased to serve the population of the village which then exceeded 7,000. The department purchased its first piece of mechanized equipment in 1929 —a Seagraves pumper. Many things have changed in the 165 years since that first group of volunteers organized into a fire department. In the 1960s, the three companies merged into a main department headquartered in the old village hall building on Second. In the mid-1970s the move was made into a new brick building on Butternut Avenue which today houses modern fire equipment, along with providing a meeting room and recreation space. Over the years, Pomeroy has had perhaps more than its share of major fires destroying blocks of downtown businesses. Records show that in 1851, about one-third of the business buildings in the middle block of Pomeroy’s Main Street were destroyed. Just five years later, another major fire struck destroying many stores in the middle and lower blocks of the village. But business was good, the population was growing, and there was a flurry to rebuild and enjoy the prosperity of the times. The next major fire came on a hot August morning in 1927. That fire started in the Priode Livery Stable on Second Street, which at the time was located near the building later occupied by Powell’s SuperValu. It spread rapidly through the frame buildings on that block and then jumped across the street to consume all the buildings on the lower blocks of Second Street. It destroyed the work of a lifetime for many businessmen. Among the buildings destroyed were the Ewing Funeral Home, the G. W. Burson three-story brick hardware building, the J. R. Stark Tailor Shop, Pride Livery and Storage Stable, Sam Lathey Second Hand Store, the Root Brothers Tin Shop, a shoe repair shop opened by Philip Meier, the Huber Brothers soft drink establishment, the John Bentz Blacksmith Shop, O. H. Myers Store, barn and residence. Other building gutted were the Gribble building, office of “The Democrat,” Pomeroy’s newspaper at the time, the stock building of C. S. Curtis, D. H. Peoples’ prosecuting attorney’s office, Sargeant’s Restaurant, Phillip Sommer’s Shoe Shop, and Charles Dow’s Architect office. When it was all over, the view from just above Butternut Avenue to Mulberry was one of smoking shambles and a few brick walls, according to Katie Guth’s account to this reporter some 20 years ago. Then 92, she had worked in one of the businesses destroyed that day. While reminiscing about the devastation wrought she displayed newspaper clippings she had preserved about what she described as the “great fire.” Other fires have struck Pomeroy but none were as destructive as those in 1851, 1856 and 1927. Much of the credit for that goes to the volunteers of the Pomeroy Fire Department which this year observes its 165th anniversary. In the mid-1970s when the Butternut Avenue building was constructed the department had two pumpers, relatively new, a brush truck, a rescue truck and a boat. In 2008, they added a new $617,000 ladder truck purchased with federal fire act grant money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.) Many things have changed since that group of volunteers organized the Pomeroy Fire Department 165 years ago, but one thing has remained constant — that sense of security residents have in knowing there is a group of firefighters ready to respond. In 1929 the Pomeroy Fire Department purchased its first piece of mechanized equipment —a Seagraves pumper. Posing with the equipment for a picture were firemen of the 3rd Ward, including Otho Tracy, Walter Hamm, Charles Graber, Ralph Gilmore, Sheck Schoenleib, Henry Durst, Fred Rayburn, Shall Durst and Ed Durst. Others in the picture were not identified. Posing for a picture on the day the new $617.000 ladder truck arrived were the Pomeroy Fire Department officers and village officials.

Swedish composer headlines holiday concert RIO GRANDE — The Masterworks Chorale and Symphonic Band will unite for a special holiday concert at the University of Rio Grande on Sunday, Nov. 18. The special event also features a performance of “Christmas Cantata” by Swedish composer Nils Lindberg. The cantata fuses big band jazz and choral music into a memorable piece that area fans won’t soon forget. The performance be- gins at 3 p.m. in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center and includes a wide range of holiday songs, including Christmas favorites where audience members are invited to sing along. “It’s an interesting combination,” Masterworks Chorale Director and Rio Grande professor Sarin Williams said. “The holiday concert promises to be a special performance.” The cantata is divided into four parts with several solos and small group performances. Soprano Aryn Gritter and baritone Andy Knipp will provide vocal solos during the piece, while James Sundquist will perform a piano solo. Gritter and Knipp have been working with Rio Grande professor Valerie Tanner to prepare for the show. The Masterworks Chorale consists of about 30 members and is comprised of Rio Grande students, faculty and staff, as well as Shoemaker inducted into 4-H Hall of Fame RIO GRANDE — The annual 4-H Advisors Banquet was held October 16 at the Buckeye Hills Career Center. Each year, the Gallia County 4-H program inducts outstanding 4-H supporters into their 4-H Hall of Fame. This year two outstanding ladies were inducted, including Katie Shoemaker. Shoemaker started out her 4-H experience as a 4-H member back in 1953; she was a member of the Gallia County Horse Club, which was the very first horse club in Gallia County. Later she became a 4-H Advisor for her son’s 4-H club, The Little Kyger Valley Boys Club, which at the time was an all boys club. Later, Shoemaker started a girl’s component for the club. She remained advisors until her son was out of school; but 4-H was in her blood and she soon was back in 4-H as an Advisor of the Rio Hopefuls 4-H club, along with her son Mike Shoemaker, daughter-in-law Sharon Shoemaker and her husband Paul Shoemaker. During Shoemaker’s 35 years as FAO launches 2012 student writing contest NELSONVILLE — “Dreaming, innovating, believing, and achieving!” If you could invent something for your community, what would it be and what problem would it solve? The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) invites all 4th through 8th grade students who live and attend school throughout the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio to answer that question for its 6th Annual Child of Appalachia Writing Contest. “At the Foundation, we believe one of the most critical things we can do is encourage our region’s young people to believe in their ability to succeed,” said Cara Dingus Brook, FAO president and CEO. “Through the Child of Appalachia Writing Contest, FAO is working to prompt thoughts and conversation in classrooms across the region with positive messages to instill the mindsets and confidence necessary for success.” Awards will be available for winning students and their teachers, from each grade level in each of the 32 counties in Appalachian Ohio (384 total awards available). FAO will provide each winning student, one per grade level in each county, with two tickets to COSI, Great Lakes Science Center, or the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and Science, depending on their county of residence. Additionally, the Duke Energy Foundation’s generosity will provide the teacher of each winning student with an iPad to be integrated into his or her classroom curriculum. “This project can have a long-term, positive impact not only on students, but also on the region. It’s a great fit for the Duke Energy Foundation because it directly addresses our focus areas of education and environment, and it’s a great fit for the students who may one day be a part of our workforce,” said Karen Monday, vice president of the Duke Energy Foundation. This year’s prompt asks students to write about an invention they would create and tell about the problem it would solve for their community. All submissions must be postmarked no later than Friday, Dec. 21. Detailed information on the 2012 contest, including guidelines and entry forms, can be found at www.appalachianohio.org. Questions may be directed to Wendy Harbarger, Foundation Services Assistant, at 740-753-1111. The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is a regional community foundation serving the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio with the mission of enriching the region’s current and future quality of life. A 501(c)(3) public charity, the Foundation attracts contributions for programs and endowment, makes grants for charitable and civic purposes, and supports local efforts for positive change.

A Social Security card and number lesson Marcus Geiger Social Security District Manager Gallipolis, Ohio Are you looking to replace your Social Security card just because you don’t have it? Then rest assured: you really don’t need to replace it. What’s most important is that you remember your Social Security number. Remember, during your formal education, when you used to memorize passages from a book, or answers for a test? In the same way, you should memorize your Social Security number. Knowing your Social Security number is important when it comes to work, taxes, banking and other types of business. Treat your number as confidential information, and keep it protected. Memorizing your number means you don’t need to carry your Social Security card with you unless you need to show it to your employer. Keep it in a safe place with your other important papers. If you really do need to get a replacement card, it’s easy to apply for a new one. Simply complete an Application for a Social Security Card (Form SS-5) and show us original documents proving your U.S. citizenship or immigration status, age and identity. The application includes examples of documents you may need; you can find the application at www.socialsecurity. gov/ssnumber. Then, take or mail your completed application and documents to your local Social Security office. We will mail your Social Security card to you. If your card is lost or stolen, you can apply for a replacement for free. However, with some exceptions, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime.

(AP) — State tourism officials are inviting fans of film and history to walk in the footsteps of Steven Spielberg and his “Lincoln” stars at the Virginia Capitol, the Confederate White House and the Dixie Restaurant in Petersburg, where the menu includes the “Spielburger.” “The Lincoln Movie Trail” made its debut Thursday as the state tourism office launched a website and self-guided tour of the locations used by Spielberg and his all-star cast in his epic on the nation’s 16th president, which is released nationally on Friday. The movie, the third he’s made in Virginia, was filmed entirely in the state and primarily in Richmond and Petersburg. The trail got a Hollywood-style launch community members. The Symphonic Band, led by Director Gary Stewart, is similar in size and composition at the chorale. The band, however, draws members from the throughout the region, including Point Pleasant, W.V.

The industry’s total economic impact was up 14.5 percent to more than $394 million in 2011. ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia outmuscled little green army men for a spot in the National Toy Hall of Fame. “Star Wars” action figures join centuries-old dominoes in the class of 2012, which was announced by the Rochester hall Thursday. A national selection committee chose them from among 12 finalists, plucking the most ancient and most modern toys from the list. “Star Wars” action figures went on the market in 1978, following the 1977 release of the 20th Century Fox movie. The 3 3/4-inch figures of Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and company were sold until 1985 and again from the mid-1990s to today. Museum officials say their phenomenal popularity inspired other toy makers to tie their products to movies and television series and they note the toys’ appeal extends to adults who continue to collect them. “They are a force to be reckoned with,” said Patricia Hogan, curator at The Strong museum, which houses the Toy Hall of Fame. More than 20 lines of “Star Wars” figures have launched, propelling the film series’ merchandise sales to $20 billion over the past 35 years. The action figures were first made by Kenner, which was bought by Tonka and later Hasbro. Dominoes originated in China in the 1300s and appeared later in Europe in a slightly different form. A standard set of 28 tiles represents all possible results when rolling a pair of six-sided dice, with the addition of two blank sides. Although there’s a variety of ways to play with them, the cascading toppling of lined-up tiles put the “domino effect” into the American lexicon. The toys beat out plastic green army men, the board game Clue, the FisherPrice Corn Popper, LiteBrite, the Magic 8 Ball, the pogo stick, sidewalk chalk, the electronic game Simon, the tea set and Twister. Officials at the Toy Hall of Fame say anyone can nominate a toy and thousands of suggestions come in every year. An internal committee of curators, educators and historians chooses the finalists and then a national selection committee votes for the winners. To date, 49 toys have made the cut. They range from classics, like PlayDoh and Slinky, to the less obvious, like the stick and cardboard box. Longevity is a key criterion for getting into the 14-year-old hall. Each toy must be widely recognized, foster learning, creativity or discovery through play, and endure in popularity over generations. �SundayNovember , november 2012 Sunday, 18,18, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 19, 2012: This year a partner you regularly deal with keeps you optimistic.

Nike to sell Cole Haan brand for $570M BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Nike is selling its Cole Haan brand to private equity firm Apax Partners for $570 million, part of its effort to focus on core brands. The sneakers, clothing and sports gear maker said in May that it wanted to sell the leather shoe and bag division and its Umbro soccer jersey brand to cut costs. Nike is focusing on its namesake brand, Jordan, Converse and Hurley. The Cole Haan deal completes the Beaverton, Ore., company’s sale plan. Last month it announced that clothing licensing company Iconix Brand Group Inc. would buy Umbro for $225 million. Nike had bought Umbro in 2008 for $582 million. Nike acquired Cole Haan in 1998 in a deal then worth $95 million. Cole Haan traces its roots to Chicago in 1928, when it was making flapper-friendly leather shoes. Its current incarnation as a purveyor of men’s and women’s leather shoes and bags based in Yarmouth, Maine, began in 1975. Like most consumer product makers, Nike Inc. has faced rising costs for packaging, fuel and other raw materials. Nike shares rose 69 cents to $91.52 in morning trading.
