The year was 1909 anda young physician namedCharles E. Holzer —only about 22-years oldat the time — beganworking as a resident sur-geon at what was thenknown as the OhioHospital for Epileptics inGallipolis. We now knowit as the GallipolisDevelopmental Center.

About a year later, theyoung, but exceedinglyvisionary Dr. Holzerestablished a private hos-pital in Gallipolis. Thebudding private health-care facility — first of itskind in the Mid-OhioValley — boasted justseven beds and waslocated at 507 FirstAvenue, overlooking theOhio River.

And the rest, as theysay, is history.

Dr. Holzer continued todevelop what hasbecome Holzer HealthSystems by opening a 25-bed facility in 1917 thatbecame known as HolzerHospital. It was locatedon Cedar Street in

Gallipolis.Three years later, in

1920, the Holzer Schoolof Nursing opened tobegin training nurses toserve in the hospital andcommunity at large.

The hospital wasexpanded to 53 beds in1926 as Dr. Holzer’svision for the future of

healthcare in the areacontinued to grow. In1949, the hospital wasdonated to the communi-ty and the HolzerHospital Foundation wasestablished. HolzerClinic was also an out-growth of Dr. Holzer’svision, opening in 1950,with his son, Dr. Charles

E. Holzer, Jr., as one ofits founding fathers.

Dr. Holzer’s vision ofgrowth for our region wasnot just limited to thehealthcare industry. Heestablished the first airportto serve our local area,Holzer Field, in 1927.

CHARLESTON —The special election forthe late Robert C. Byrd’sU.S. Senate seat attracted15 candidates before thefiling period endedFriday, with DemocraticGov. Joe Manchinremaining the perceivedfront-runner.

The Mountain Party’sJesse Johnson entered therace on the final day asdid an 11th Republican toseek the seat, Frank T.Kubic of Charles Town.The Mountain Party isthe only third party withballot status in WestVirginia.

Manchin, a popularcentrist in his second

term, is among threeDemocrats who filed.The others are 95-year-old Ken Hechler, a for-mer congressman andsecretary of state; and ex-Republican state law-maker Sheirl Fletcher.

The best-known of the10 other GOP hopefulswho filed include JohnRaese, an industrialist andmedia owner, and recent1st U.S. House Districtcandidate Mac Warner.

The remainingRepublicans are ThomasRessler of FallingWaters, Kenneth A. Culpof Summersville, CharlesG. “Bud” Railey ofBridgeport, Harry C.Bruner Jr. of Charleston,Lynette KennedyMcQuain of Rivesville,

Buckhannon residentsScott H. Williams andDaniel Scott Rebich, andAlbert Howard of SanPedro, Calif.

For the Record


MARIETTA, Ohio —The USS LST 325, aWorld War II TankLanding Ship, will visitMarietta Sept. 8-14, coin-ciding with the annualSternwheel Festival week-end.

This 328 foot long shipwill be docked near theSternwheel gathering. Itwill be available for toursThursday, Sept. 9through Tuesday, Sept.14, 2010.

These ships could carry20 Sherman tanks in thegiant hold within theship.

They were the onlyships ever made thatcould go anywhere in theworld and deposit theircargo onto a hostile beachand then return for anoth-er load. On the main deckthey could also carry 30to 40 trucks, tons of fuel,ammunition and supplies,plus up to 500 soldiers.The LST’s were used dur-ing World War II, Korea,and the Vietnam conflicts.

This ship was atOmaha Beach on D-Day,June 6, 1944, and made44 subsequent tripsacross the EnglishChannel carrying vehi-cles and supplies toFrance and returningwith wounded soldiersand prisoners of war.

USS LST 325 was oneof the first to be built andserved in three European

campaigns; Sicily,Salerno and Normandy.After duty with the GreekNavy from 1964 to 1999it was repatriated andsailed back to the USA in2001 by a hardy group ofNavy Veterans, the aver-age age of which was 72.It is the only fully intactand operational LSTremaining in the UnitedStates out of over 1051produced. It was built in1942 at the PhiladelphiaNaval Shipyard.

Due to the quantityrequired for war duty,five inland river ship-yards were contracted tobuild these vessels. Since

they were shallow draftwith flat bottoms for dri-ving directly onto beach-es, they could be builtinland and sailed downmajor rivers to theMississippi and then toopen sea.

270 of these ships werebuilt in Pittsburgh byboth the Dravo andAmbridge shipyards.Other shipyards wereJeffersonville, IN,Evansville, IN, andSeneca, IL on the IllinoisRiver. In addition toMarietta, LST325 willvisit Wheeling, WV andPittsburgh, PA beforeheading back to its Home

Port of Evansville, IN. Marietta and regional

area citizens, visitors andschool groups, are in fora once-in-a- lifetime treatwith tours of the shipassisted by crew mem-bers, as well as other fes-tivities. This is truly apiece of world historyand is also listed on theNational Register ofHistoric Places.

This will be the firsttime an ocean going USNaval ship of this typehas been seen in Mariettasince 1945 when theytraveled downriver fromPittsburgh to NewOrleans and the open sea.

W.Va.’s 2nd oldest bridge being retiredM A R T I N S B U R G

ON THE GULF OFMEXICO (AP) — Shipsrelaying the sights andsounds from BP’s brokenoil well stood fast Fridayas the leftovers ofTropical Storm Bonnieblew straight for the spillsite, threatening to forcea full evacuation thatwould leave engineersclueless about whether amakeshift cap on thegusher was holding.

Vessels connected todeep-sea robots equippedwith cameras and seismicdevices would be amongthe last to flee and wouldride out the rough weath-er if possible, retiredCoast Guard Adm. ThadAllen said.

“If conditions allow,they will remain throughthe passage of thestorm,” Allen said inNew Orleans.

Bonnie made landfallsouth of Miami earlyFriday as a feeble tropi-cal storm with top sus-tained winds of 40 mph.It broke apart as itcrossed Florida and was atropical depression as itmoved into the Gulf, butforecasters expected it tostrengthen slightly androll over the spill sitearound midday Saturday.

Some of the dozens ofvessels working at thewell site were leavingFriday evening. By day-break, all but a handful,including those provid-ing video images, wereexpected to remain. Allensaid individual captainswould decide when toleave, based on weatherconditions. The shipsholding the robots wouldbe among the first toreturn if forecasts forcethem to leave, but theycould be gone for up totwo days, said Allen, thefederal government’sspill chief.

The mechanical plugthat has mostly containedthe oil for eight days willbe left closed, Allen said.But if the robots arereeled in, the only wayofficials will knowwhether the cap hasfailed will be if oil pool-ing on the surfaceappears in satellite andaerial views — providedthe clouds aren’t toothick.

Audio surveillancegear left behind could tellBP whether the well isstill stable, but scientistswon’t be able to listen tothe recordings until theships return to the area.

Allen expressedincreasing confidence inthe experimental capdespite a few leaks thatinitially worried govern-ment experts. Scientistssay even a severe stormshouldn’t affect the plug,nearly a mile beneath theocean surface 40 milesfrom the Louisiana coast.

“There’s almost nochance it’ll have anyimpact on the well heador the cap because it’sright around 5,000 feetdeep and even the largestwaves won’t get downthat far,” said Don VanNieuwenhuise, directorof professional geo-science programs at theUniversity of Houston.

Crews of other ves-sels, including one bor-ing the tunnel meant tokill the flow of crude forgood, spent Friday haul-ing in their gear and get-

ting out of the storm’sway. Workers werepulling up a mile of pipein 40-to-60-foot sectionsand laying it on deck ofthe drilling rig so theycould move to saferwater, probably to thesouthwest flank of thestorm. “Preservation oflife and preservation ofequipment are our high-est priorities,” saidAllen, a veteran of theCoast Guard’s rescuemission after HurricaneKatrina.

Shell Oil also wasevacuating its operationsin the Gulf, moving outmore than 600 workersand shutting down pro-duction at all but onewell sheltered safely inMobile Bay.

At the spill site, thewater no longer looksthick with gooey tar. Butthe oil is still therebeneath the surface,staining the hulls of boatsmotoring around in it.

Strong winds andwaves could help breakup the oil further, but astorm surge also mightpush it into sensitive

marsh areas along thecoast.

“Those are two oppo-site consequences andwe’re prepared to moveout and aggressivelyattack this once the threathas passed through,”Allen said.

The foul weather hasstalled progress towardkilling the well and coulddelay until mid-Augustthe sealing of the nearlytwo-mile undergroundshaft using mud andcement, Allen and BPsay. BP had hoped to fin-ish drilling a relief tunnelFriday, but had to plug itWednesday to prepare forthe storm.

On the tiny resortisland of Grand Isle offthe southeast Louisianacoast workers packed upthe oil removal opera-tion, tearing down tents,tying down clean boomand loading oil-soakedboom into large contain-ers so it won’t pollute thearea if the storm causesflooding.

“Part of our severeweather plan is to removeall the equipment from

the beach,” said CoastGuard Lt. Cmd. NanBangs. “We don’t want totake a chance on some-thing damaging the sandberm or the houses alongthere.”

Before the cap wasattached and closed aweek ago, the brokenwell spewed 94 millionto 184 million gallonsinto the Gulf after theBP-leased DeepwaterHorizon rig explodedApril 20, killing 11 work-ers.

BP is likely to be finedper gallon spilled,although determiningthat could be difficult.Concentrations of under-water oil at least doubledlast month, according tothe National Oceanic andA t m o s p h e r i cAdministration.

Researchers at theUniversity of SouthFlorida said Friday theyhave the first scientificproof that two giantplumes of oil beneath thesurface of the Gulf camefrom the broken well. BPinitially denied theplumes even existed.

He was also a drivingforce behind the con-struction of the originalSilver Bridge, whichspanned the Ohio Riverbetween downtown PointPleasant and Kanauga.The structure opened totraffic in 1928, endingthe era of vehicles havingto be ferried back andforth between WestVirginia and Ohio.

Dr. Holzer, Jr., contin-ued to build upon hisfather’s vision, leadingthe hospital into the mod-ern era and overseeingsignificant expansion ofservices.

A major leap into thefuture occurred in 1972when Holzer MedicalCenter opened, offeringa state-of-the-arthealthcare facility toresidents of the region.Now, out of that visionof the Holzer family,Holzer Health Systemsoffers a wide range ofmedical services to thepublic, including cancertreatment, cardiovascu-lar services, homehealth, hospice, nursinghome and assisted liv-ing facilities, to namejust a few.

As Holzer HealthSystems celebrates its100th Anniversary in2010, we need to pauseand remember that itrequires vision toaccomplish great things.And it also requires

ambition, a good workethic and courage to seethe job done. TheHolzer family embodiedall those characteristicsand virtues. May wecontinue to build upontheir vision to create abetter future for ourfamilies.

Storm could take away sights and sounds of BP well

AP Photo/Dave MartinA worker prepares to secure cleaned and repaired oil retention booms at a stag-ing area in Grand Isle, La., Friday. Tropical Storm Bonnie is expected to makelandfall sometime Saturday along the Louisiana coast. BP has recalled much ofthe oil skimming efforts in anticipation of bad weather.

OPINIONOPINION

The grand lesson of the 20thcentury is that Big Governmentretards economic progress.

The evidence of this lessongoes beyond the socialist coun-tries and their dramatic eco-nomic failures. Several decadesago, as a young economist, Iencountered repeated studiesthat showed a high correlationbetween two macroeconomicphenomena: The larger the gov-ernment’s share of a country’sGDP, the slower the rate of eco-nomic growth tended to be.Conversely, economic growthflourished where governmentwas relatively small.

Many Americans seemed, andstill seem, impervious to thislesson despite our own history.The same correlation was evi-dent in the 1920s, whenPresident Harding cut the sizeof federal spending in half,leading to a decade of prosperi-ty, and in the 1930s, when theeconomy tanked underPresidents Hoover andRoosevelt and their hugeexpansions of government.

Despite this clear historicalevidence, President Obama iscommitted to growing govern-ment. He has increased federalspending to over 27 percent ofGDP, up from 20.5 percentwhen George W. Bush leftoffice.

Obama indisputably favorsthe public sector over the pri-vate. When Michelle Obamagave her famous speech a cou-ple of years ago, urging youngpeople to avoid working forprofit-seeking (i.e., private)companies, she was doing morethan simply expressing an opin-ion: She articulated her hus-band’s agenda.

It started on day one, whenObama staffed his cabinet andother top positions in hisadministration with a record-low percentage of people withprivate-sector experience —fewer than 10 percent (the his-torical average is near 40 per-cent).

Since then, he has consistent-ly worked to bring more andmore people onto the govern-ment payroll. He increased thenumber of paid positions inAmericorps by 224 percent;

Teach for America by 94 per-cent; Peace Corps, 24 percent.The health-insurance bill creat-ed dozens of new agencies. Thejust-passed financial reform billcreates a new bureaucracy withan initial budget of nearly a bil-lion dollars per year.

One source recently reportedthat Team Obama is revokingcontracts with private firms andtransferring the work to govern-ment employees. The govern-ment even hires former employ-ees of the private contractors,giving them significant pay-and-benefit hikes. That may begood for them, but at a time ofrecord budget deficits, findingways to increase the costs ofgovernment doesn’t make eco-nomic sense.

In his compact 1944 classic,Bureaucracy, economistLudwig von Mises explainedwhy bureaucracies are inherent-ly uneconomical. Whetherunder socialist or democraticgovernments, bureaucracies arenot disciplined by the profit-loss calculus. Insulated from thecompetitive marketplace, theybecome bloated and inefficient.

When private businessesserve customers poorly, theirrevenues decline. If their lossesare severe enough, they fold.Exactly the opposite happenswith bureaucracies. If they failto get the job done, Congresstypically appropriates morefunds for them. We saw thiswith FEMA after HurricaneKatrina, and the same dynamicwill play out with Obamacare,too, unless it is repealed. It’s thenature of the beast.

No society can afford to bearthe costs of many bureaucra-cies. As much as Obama prefersgovernment workers, most peo-ple need to be in the private sec-tor generating the wealth thatgovernment appropriates for

bureaucratic functions.This implies that Obama has

veered down a dead-end detour.He wants government agenciesto be in charge of this, that, andthe other thing, but how can wepay for it all? A bureau-centricpolicy agenda inevitablyimpedes economic growth.

Obamanomics, in short,ignores two economic truths:Expanding government’s shareof GDP cripples economicgrowth. So does a proliferationof new government bureaucra-cies. From this we may predictthat Obama’s policies will sad-dle us with continuing econom-ic sluggishness.

Given that Americans tend toreplace presidents when theeconomy is struggling, can wepredict that Obama will be aone-term president? I don’tthink so. The presidential cam-paign of 2012 could be a repeatof 1936 (FDR’s first run for re-election). The historical recordshows that many voters in 1936were disappointed about the ter-rible shape of the overall econo-my after four years of New Dealprograms. Many who wereunhappy about the economyvoted for Roosevelt anyhow.Why? Because they were bene-fiting personally from his mas-sive spending programs.

Obama’s stimulus plan hasbeen and will continue to bespent in ways that benefit tar-geted groups. His recent requestfor another $50 billion to giveto teachers, firefighters, andpolice (traditionally, these havebeen locally funded publicemployees, and therefore inde-pendent of Washington) is justone example of Obama’s politi-cally strategic spending.

Obama has ignored the eco-nomic lessons of history, but hehas taken to heart the politicallesson of FDR’s formula forelectoral success. It would beprudent and timely for us citi-zens to grasp both the economicand political lessons of our his-tory.

BY KELLEY B. VLAHOS

Tensions between press tryingto cover the biggest environmen-tal catastrophe in U.S history andthe gatekeepers — the federalgovernment and BritishPetroleum — are mounting, andare not likely to dissipate as longas the public is seen as “theenemy,” and restricted accessunder the guise of “safety” and“security” cloaks the real scope ofthe disaster.

Welcome to today’s post-9/11emergency management, whereevery domestic disaster responseis militarized for effect. Everyproblem requires a military solu-tion, and too often in these crises,the people are the problem.

It’s not only in the commandstructure of the response — wefirst saw this in the aftermath ofHurricane Katrina — but in theway the public is treated, likechildren and potential criminals.We already live in a hyper-crimi-nalized society where lawenforcement is given special dis-pensation beyond that of any citi-zen. Throw in a domestic crisis,put the military (and the multi-national corporation that causedthe spill) in charge, and watch ourcherished notions of free speechand the “public right to know”float down the river like oilypatches of blackened detritus.

Earlier this month Adm. ThadAllen, national response com-mander of the Deepwater Horizonoil spill, announced new restric-tions that would have made it aClass D felony for anyone,including press, to come within65 feet of any boom or clean-up

vessel along the Gulf Coast.“You’d have to mount a tele-scope” to your camera to get apicture, said photographerMatthew Hinton.

Even before the new pressrules, journalists and activists hadbeen pulled over and questionedby BP security and local policebecause they might be “terror-ists.” Photographers were kickedoff public property, detained,harassed, forced to hand overtheir pictures — and their SocialSecurity numbers, too. They’vebeen prevented from flying below3,000 feet over the coast and keptfrom interviewing clean-up work-ers.

“Anytime you have [the] kindof militarization…that claimsinformation crackdowns are forsecurity purposes…it raises seri-ous questions,” said law professorJonathan Hafetz. “What is espe-cially troubling is how ‘nationalsecurity’ has been broadlydefined… [it’s] more about cover-ing up government misconductand malfeasance rather than actu-ally restricting information forany valid purpose.”

With the U.S Coast Guard incharge, restricted access to spillsites has become a security issue,making it difficult for reporters todo their jobs. “It feels like newsreporting is being criminalizedunder thinly veiled excuses,” saidAP photographer Gerald Herbert.“The total effect of all theserestrictions is harming the pub-lic’s right to know.”

While BP stands accused ofputting profits before safety, thefederal government takes an equalshare of criticism for not engag-

ing in proper oversight and regu-latory control. So both have plen-ty of interest in downplaying theworst effects of the disaster on theeconomy and the environment.

Allen initially said the ruleswere necessary to establish a“safety zone,” claiming local offi-cials had asked for the buffer(though that’s been denied by var-ious local leaders). CNN’sAnderson Cooper challenged thecrackdown on air, saying, “We’renot the enemy here... Frankly, it isa lot like in Katrina when theytried to make it impossible to seerecovery efforts of people whodied in their homes.” He mighthave hit a nerve, because on July12, Allen amended his directive,allowing “special permission” forreporters to work in the “safetyzone” as long as they follow“simple procedures for credential-ing” and “certain rules and guide-lines.” Sounds a lot like the so-called embeds subject to militarydirection in the warzone.

For nearly 10 years we have putthe military in charge of our prob-lems abroad and given it increas-ing influence in resolving ourcrises at home. Now as we facethe greatest environmental disas-ter in U.S history, a military cul-ture is “in charge,” if not the mil-itary itself. The public — nowseen as “the enemy” — is left inthe dark, while BP and negligentfederal regulators disguise thetrue nature of the devastation.

TO DAY I N H I S TO RY

MarkHendrickson

Dear Dr. Brothers:There’s no two waysabout it — I’m going tobreak up with myboyfriend. We reallydon’t get along, and thisyear our schedules don’teven match up that much,so we’re only in one classtogether. Anyway, I don’twant a lot of drama, so Iwas going to text him totell him — but myfriends are all like,“That’s not cool.” He’sinto me, I know, and isprobably not going to betoo happy anyway, sowhat difference does itmake if it’s face to faceor not? — M.J.

Dear M.J.: It is awhole new world ofsocial networking, andthe unwritten rules youand your friends havegrown up with are vastlydifferent from those ofolder generations when itcomes to dating andbreaking up. Texting def-initely has taken theplace of many face-to-face meetings, and eventhe hours that teens usedto spend on the phonehave given way to tweetsor short text messages.So it is perfectly naturalfor you to think that tex-ting is your normal modeof communicating withyour friends, boyfriendincluded. And it definite-ly would be easier tobreak up with him viatext message, especiallyif you won’t even runinto him during the dayor have to sit next to himin a class.

But the easy way oftenis the least satisfactory inthe end. While you don’thave to rely on the opin-ions of friends when itcomes to your personallife, in this instance Ithink they are trying topoint you in the rightdirection. So would any-one in a more experi-enced age group — what-ever changes the Internetand cell-phone use havebrought, there’s still nosubstitute for having thecourtesy to break up inperson. To do so long-distance when you can doit face to face is justtacky. I’m sure it will bemore embarrassing anddifficult, but afterwardyou stand a good chanceof not feeling bad aboutyourself, and your ex-boyfriend will respectyou for it.

• • •Dear Dr. Brothers:

For the past six months,I’ve been dating some-one I wouldn’t havethought existed a yearago. He’s truly every-thing I am looking for —funny, affectionate, hand-some and stress-free. ButI’m beginning to feel likea fraud. I’ve recentlybeen diagnosed with apersonality disorder,which gives me a ratherdim outlook for being awife. I really don’t wantto freak him out or any-thing, but I feel like I

need to be honest withhim. Any idea what Ishould do? — S.B.

Dear S.B.: I am sorryabout your condition, butit is good that you havebeen able to face yourproblems and get somehelp. You may find thatafter a course of treat-ment, you are able tomanage your symptomsand adjust to your diag-nosis. The goal of thera-pies — medical andcounseling, which oftenare much more effectivewhen used in concert —is to allow you to have asnormal and happy a lifeas possible. So I don’tthink you should takeyourself out of the datingpool as some kind ofdamaged goods, espe-cially when you havefound someone whoseems like such a goodmatch.

Having said all this, itis not going to be easy foryou to move forward.Surely in the past sixmonths you have had achance to discuss someof your issues and prob-lems with yourboyfriend, and he musthave some inkling thatthere are things you needto work on. If not, he isnot very observant, youdo a good job of hidingthings, or you aren’tspending the kind ofquality time together thatserious couples do. Inany case, now definitelyis a good time to levelwith him. Let him knowhow much you valueyour relationship, butdon’t beg him to staywith you or try to guilthim into it. Those are notthe kind of tactics youwould be happy witheven if they succeeded —and they probablywouldn’t, for long. Takeit one step at a time.

BY SUE MANNINGASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Tomilk a camel, you needwarm hands, a gentletouch and quick timing— camels give milk onlyin 90-second bursts.

Gil and Nancy Riegler,owners of the nation’slargest camel dairy nearSan Diego, said the extrawork pays off with milkthat is therapeutic, nutri-tious and delicious.

It’s also illegal to sellin the United States.

That hasn’t stopped theRieglers’ enthusiasm fortheir unusual dairy, sell-ing other products suchas camel milk soap, giv-ing tours and taking their22-camel herd on theroad to educate others.

In a few years, theyhope, the U.S. Food andDrug Administrationmight establish a test oncamel milk that wouldallow them to makemoney in other ways.

“If we could sellcamel’s milk right now,we would have to charge$40 to $60 a liter,” saidNancy Riegler, who liveswith her husband on their34-acre dairy in Ramona,northeast of San Diego.

That’s because there areonly a few thousandcamels in the UnitedStates — mostly at zoosand wild animal parks —and few of them are breed-ing, which makes camelmilk a rare commodity.

It costs about $12,000to buy an adult femalecamel, and $5,000 for ababy.

Still, the Rieglers aresold on what they say arethe benefits of camel milkover cow milk. They saidit has more vitamin C,more anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflamma-tory properties and con-tains an insulin-like pro-tein that works well in thedigestive tract.

Most camel milk istraded informally aroundthe world, but in the

future it could be worthroughly $10 billion, saidAnthony Bennett, dairyofficer for the Food andAgriculture Organizationof the United Nations.

“In Russia, Kazakhstanand India, doctors oftenprescribe it to convalesc-ing patients while, inAfrica, it may be recom-mended for people livingwith AIDS,” Bennettsaid. “Research is alsoongoing into the roleclaimed for camel milk inreducing diabetes andcoronary heart disease.”

The FDA allows peopleto drink camel milk, but itcan’t be imported or soldin the U.S. until a test fordrug residues is validat-ed, said FDA spokesmanMichael Herndon.

That could take awhile, Herndon said, not-ing water buffalo milkwas allowed in 2003 butit took another six yearsbefore all the tests werevalidated and accepted.

Can’t wait? A Dubaicompany offers a camelmilk chocolate bar, but itsells at a San Franciscoshop for $12 for just 2.5ounces.

Despite the price, shopowner Jack Epstein saidthe camel bar is a steadyseller. He favors it overbars made with milkfrom goat and sheep.

“The camel milk doesn’thave any kind of earthytaste,” said Epstein, ownerof Jack Epstein’s CoveredChocolate. “In fact, itseems a little caramelly.”

Experts caution,though, against expectinga boom in U.S. camelmilk sales, in partbecause they produce solittle milk.

A cow produces six orseven gallons of milk aday while the Rieglers arelucky to get a gallon a dayfrom one of their camels.

“Camels are the mostadaptive hoofstock on theplanet, but they are not

designed for bulk produc-tion,” said Rod Owlett, ananimal care manager atthe San Diego Zoo.“Cows have been specifi-cally bred for giving vastamounts of milk.”

Until the FDAapproves camel milksales, the Rieglers arefinding other ways tomake a living — he cutsgems and she showsbirds. Together they domonthly open houses,offer camel rides, fairexhibits, private parties,turkey stampedes andschool visits.

Jomay Stillman of SanDiego had seen theRieglers’show at a fair andliked it so much she tookher family to the dairy onMother’s Day this year.

“They are happycamels. They remindedme of a bunch ofLabrador dogs with theirdispositions and howthey follow themaround,” she said.

Sydney Eddisonbelieves you can weed outloads of demanding yardwork as you age withoutreducing the enjoyment ofgardening. The 78-year-old author says it’s simplya matter of gardeningmore wisely.

“I knew so manyfriends older than myselfwho drove themselvesaway from the land theyloved and then promptlydied,” said Eddison, whoopted to remain alone onher secluded but cele-brated four-acres-plus inConnecticut after herhusband’s death, ratherthan move to smaller sur-roundings.

She has shaped thewooded property, withhouse and barn, into acountry showcase overthe last half-century, giv-ing tours and writing ahalf-dozen books abouther experiences. Yetsomething had to give,and that something waspainstaking garden main-tenance.

“I threw my body at thegarden over the years andgot away with it, but Ihave to watch it now,”Eddison said.

First, she had to have ahip replaced, and thenshe developed a cyst onher back, leaving herbedridden for a time. “Ihad a horrendous winter,but it made me realizethere’s nowhere I’drather be but here,” shesaid. “I couldn’t do any-thing last year, but now Ican at least stake tallplants and weed.”

She gets the job donewith some help fromfriends, and by applyingmany of the shortcutsdescribed in her mostrecent book, “Gardeningfor a Lifetime: How toGarden Wiser as YouGrow Older” (TimberPress, 2010). A few ofher “gleanings”:

• Reject perfection.“Nature does not cleanup every dead leaf in thefall and gardeners don’thave to either. Deadleaves left under shrubsserve as a mulch, whicheventually breaks downand contributes nutrientsto the soil.”

• Thin the perennials.“In my garden, thesquare footage devotedto flowering perennialsdemands more time andenergy than the rest ofthe acre and a half undercultivation. The greaterthe variety of perennialsyou grow, the more workyour border will entail.”

• Switch to shrubs.“Shrubs afford morevalue for less work.Some rarely need prun-ing.”

• Shade gardens aregood. “Shade-tolerantplants are easier to main-tain than sun lovers. Oneof the reasons is thatweeds are also sun

lovers. In the shade, theybecome feeble and can becontrolled by a layer ofmulch.”

• Incorporate your sur-roundings: “If you owneven a scrap of wood-land, you can make it anextension of your gardenby edging it with a fewberried and floweringshrubs. Naturalize daf-fodils on the forestfloor.”

• Miniaturize. “There isnothing fake about a con-tainer garden. It is thereal thing. And for any-one who can’t do theheavy labor of in-the-ground gardening, gar-dening in containers canprovide much of thesame pleasure.”

Gardening can bephysically and emotion-ally rewarding as yougrow older, and there aremany ways to overcomethe challenges of a deteri-orating body.

“If your vision is fail-

ing, choose tools withbright handles,” saidRebecca Haller, directorof the HorticulturalTherapy Institute inDenver. “Be more carefulwith trip hazards —uneven paving stones orhoses lying across a path.Grow vertical so youdon’t have to stoop. Putthings on wheels ratherthan pushing or pulling.Garden closer to thehouse so you don’t tire somuch coming and going.Have a spot where youcan rest. Pace yourself.”

Making the most of thetime you have left is oneof the older gardener’sprimary tasks, Eddisonsaid.

“How beautiful canyou make your gardenwith the resources youstill have at your com-mand?” she said. “This isthe question I keep ask-ing myself. I don’t havethe answer, but I’mworking on it.”

Extension NewsBY RODNEY M. WALLBROWN

Primarily a pasture pest, face flies tend toavoid livestock in confined areas except in coolweather. Often they will leave an animal as itenters a building, only to sit in wait on fences orvegetation for the next one that exists. Theyfirst emerge in the pasture during April afterspending the winter months in protected areas,such as woodland trees or cracks and creviceswithin buildings. Following emergence theymate and lay eggs in the “cow patties” dottingthe pasture.

The eggs take a while to hatch during thosecooler days of April, but as the season progress-es, those eggs may hatch within the span of a day.The emerging larvae feed and mature within thedung for more than a week after which theycrawl into the ground to pupate. The entire life-cycle, from egg to adult, may take two to threeweeks depending upon the temperature.

Upon first glance, the emerging adults resem-ble houseflies, and while the face fly is slightlylarger, the two species are very difficult to distin-guish between. Face flies are most commonlyfound around the eyes or nostrils where they con-sume the mucus released by the eyes and nostrils.Sometimes they may be found in other areas,such as around the mouth, where saliva is moreprevalent. While houseflies may occasionallydevelop this behavior (in the driest of circum-stances), face flies always frequent these areasregardless of environmental conditions. Only thefemale annoys the animal in this way. The malefeeds on nectar.

During August, face fly populations swell, andduring the daytime, face flies are most prevalentbetween the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. As tem-peratures begin to drop below 50 degrees, theinsect becomes less of a problem.

As far as rate of gain numbers are concerned,face flies are usually a “non-event” and hardlyever cause problems. However, their feeding isknown to transmit the organism responsible forpink eye from infected animal to infected animal.This happens as livestock, plagued by this pest,bunch together in an effort to avoid the fly prob-lem.

Few management options actually exist for theproducer. While chemical treatments do exist,neighboring files from untreated areas will oftenreinfest a pasture. Ear tags, prone to the develop-ment of insecticide resistance, can be used withlimited success along with feed treatments, butall too often these pests are a common and diffi-cult nuisance to manage.

QB Pryor says he’s ready to goCOLUMBUS, Ohio

(AP) — Ohio State quar-terback Terrelle Pryorcan’t wait for the presea-son to start next month.

The junior pronouncedhimself 100 percenthealthy after surgery inFebruary to repair somedamage in his left knee.

“It was minor surgery,”he told The AssociatedPress. “It’s never going tobe 100 percent ever againfor anybody who gets anytype of surgery or any-thing like that. But youshould definitely bounceback and be a high per-centage and keep going.That’s where I am rightnow, I feel pretty good.”

Pryor also said he’s lost10 pounds this year,down to 225 on his 6-foot-5 frame.

Pryor conceded that hewas limited by the kneeinjury in the last fewgames of last season, but

said he has been workingout with his receivers thissummer and is anxiouslyawaiting Aug. 5, whenthe Buckeyes report tocamp.

He said he won’t belimited in any way.

“No, because once mymind gets in the gameand I’m focused, noth-ing’s going to get in myway and nothing’s goingto get in my mindset,” hesaid. “Not a leg injury.”

Coach Jim Tressel saidhe has no concerns aboutPryor’s health. Tressel,going into his 10th year,says his biggest concernis that Pryor — consid-ered by many as one ofthe top contenders in theHeisman Trophy race —spends too much timeworking out and watch-ing film.

“The only reservation Ihave is I’m not so sure hedoesn’t train too much,”

Tressel said. “It seemslike he’s there all day.He’s just a worker.”

Tressel said he felt theinjury might just makePryor a better player —and the Buckeyes a betterteam.

“It was valuable forhim that back third of theseason, when he wasinjured,” he said. “Hereally couldn’t take offand run and do some ofthe things that maybe hehad counted on (before). Ithink the rest of the guysknew he was a little bitlimited and they steppedup and our running gameand our offensive frontcame along.”

Ohio State, coming offan 11-2 season thatincluded a fifth straightBig Ten title and a RoseBowl victory overOregon, opens its seasonSept. 2 at home againstMarshall.

COLUMBUS, Ohio —The Ohio High SchoolAthletic AssociationBoard of Directors todayvoted to award both StarkCounty and Columbusthe opportunity to hostthe state football finalsfor two years each begin-ning with the 2012 sea-son. The vote took placeduring a special Boardconference call meetingand was in response to arecommendation from an11-person state footballfinals subcommittee.

Stark County, whichhas hosted all or portionsof the finals for the past20 years and has twoyears remaining on thecurrent contract to hostthe finals, has beenawarded the 2012 and2013 championships,while Columbus willhost the finals in 2014and 2015. As part of themotion to approve therecommendation, theBoard also gave itself theopportunity to discussoption years for hostingthe finals in the future.

Stark County will con-tinue to utilize CantonFawcett Stadium andMassillon Paul BrownTiger Stadium as the sitefor the six championshipgames in a two-day for-mat rotating between thetwo facilities andColumbus will host allsix finals at OhioStadium on the campusof The Ohio StateUniversity also in a two-day format.

The OHSAA originallyreceived proposals tohost the state finals fromgroups in Stark County,Columbus, Cincinnati,Akron/Akron and KentState, Bowling Greenand Toledo, and on April26 the finals subcommit-tee heard in-person pre-sentations from all butthe latter two groups.

After the potential hostsites were trimmed toStark County andColumbus, members ofthe subcommittee visitedthe facilities in Cantonand Massillon in StarkCounty on June 2 andColumbus on June 8.Meetings were held witheach group the week ofJune 28 to finalize theirproposals. The subcom-mittee, which conducteda conference call meetingJuly 14 to first attempt tofinalize a recommenda-tion for the OHSAABoard, reconvened via aconference call todaybefore agreeing upon afinal recommendation.

The subcommittee wascomprised of three

OHSAA Board ofDirectors members, fiveOHSAA administrativestaff members and threeofficers from the OhioHigh School FootballCoaches Association.

“We sincerely thankthe six groups that wereinterested in hosting thestate finals,” saidOHSAA CommissionerDaniel B. Ross, Ph.D., amember of the subcom-mittee. “When we nar-rowed down our choicesto the final two groups,the subcommittee feltthat there was no ques-tion that both would doan outstanding job inhosting the champi-onships and that both hada lot to offer. We feel likeusing both locations willgive us the best of bothworlds and that the realwinners will be our par-ticipating schools andtheir fans.

“In Stark County, thehospitality extended tothe participants and theirfans is second to none andthe tradition and experi-ence they have in hostingthe finals are also key fac-tors. The subcommittee isalso confident thatCentral Ohio has tremen-dous qualities of its ownand that the energy andenthusiasm shown by theGreater Columbus SportsCommission and the staffat Ohio State will help uscreate outstanding newtraditions. So we feel pro-viding each group theopportunity to host thegames will result in awin-win situation foreveryone.”

“I want to thank thefootball finals subcom-mittee for its work and forconducting a thoroughreview of the proposals,”said Steve Stirn, presidentof the OHSAA Board ofDirectors, superintendentof the Logan-HockingLocal Schools and a

member of the subcom-mittee. “I also want to sin-cerely thank the groupsthat submitted proposalsfor not only their interestbut also for their tremen-dous efforts in puttingtogether impressive pre-sentations. Because thepresentations from StarkCounty and Columbuswere equally outstanding,it only makes sense thatthey both be given thechance to host, and theBoard is in concert withthe subcommittee’s rec-ommendation.”

The championshipswere first held in StarkCounty in part in 1990and entirely in 1991. Priorto that, 37 state footballchampionships were heldin Ohio Stadium inColumbus between 1982and 1989. Of the 190 totalstate football finals heldin the 38-year history ofthe tournament,Massillon’s Paul BrownTiger Stadium has hostedthe most title games (79),Canton’s FawcettStadium is second with 38and Ohio Stadium is thirdwith 37.

The games during theforeseeable future will beheld the weekend afterThanksgiving weekend,which in most cases is thefirst weekend inDecember.

Buckeye players happy toshare in Pobolish’s finale

BY SETH STASKEYTIMES LEADER SPORTS EDITOR

Ron Pobolish has saidsince he accepted thepost as Ohio head coachfor this weekend’s 65thannual Rudy MumleyOVAC All-Star Classicthat he didn’t want theweek to be all about him.

The highly successfuland equally personableformer Buckeye Localhead coach announcedhis well-documentedretirement prior to lastseason and then —because the Pantherswon the OVAC 4-A title— he was afforded theopportunity to coach inthe annual summer bi-state clash, which is setfor Sunday evening at7:15 p.m.

“It’s no big deal tome,” Pobolish said. “Ijust think you knowwhen it’s time and thiswas my time. We’re try-ing to do the best we canto end (my career) with avictory.”

Pobolish admits he wasleery at first to accept theassignment he’s held fourother times during hiscareer, which hasspanned two terms atBuckeye Local, Cadiz,Harrison Central, JohnMarshall.

However, when he satdown and thought aboutthe chance to coach atleast four of his playersone more time and spenda week with most of hiscoaching staff one moretime, Pobolish becamemore and more receptive

to the idea before he for-mally accepted theOVAC’s offer early thisyear.

Pobolish — who ledthe Panthers to a DivisionII state runnerup finish in1994 — took the confer-ence up on its Ohio ruleand chose four of his ownplayers.

And the likes of BobbySpence, Joe Rine, RylanPyciak and BrandonBartrug aren’t here strict-ly because Pobolishcoached them, butbecause they earned it.

“This is a great timeand I am glad I get to behere for Coach Pob’s lastgo-around and happy toshare in that with him,”Spence said. “We decid-ed we’re going to give itone more run and CoachPob decided to comewith us.”

For Bartrug, the oppor-tunity to play for many ofthe same coaches andwith the other threeaforementioned playershas conjured up plenty ofmemories.

“I just keep thinkingabout what we were ableto accomplish the lastcouple of years,” Bartrugsaid. “To be here is anhonor and since this isthe last time I will beputting the pads on andbeing allowed to hitsomeone, I plan on mak-ing the most of it.”

The four formerPanther players are see-ing a slightly differentPobolish than they’reaccustomed to from theregular season last fall.

“He’s a pretty intenseguy all of the time, but Ithink he’s taking it easieron us because he wants togo out with a win and leteveryone have a goodtime,” Spence said. “Hedoesn’t know the kids aswell as he knew our team(at Buckeye), so he does-n’t want the kids to reactdifferently since they’reused to it. It’s gone wellso far.”

Despite his attempts tosell the public, playersand media that this year’sOVAC Game isn’t abouthim, Pobolish receivedtwo standing ovations atWednesday’s GeorgeStrager Evening With theStars dinner and hasdrawn constant ravereviews from his WestVirginia counterpart,Tom Bruney this week.

It’s been quite a fewweeks for Pobolish, whodoesn’t like the limelight.A couple of weekendsago, Pobolish’s familysurprised him with aretirement party and nowthe entire OVAC is tip-ping its cap to him.

There have beenmoments where the sternhead coach has seeming-ly gotten a little chokedup already.

However, he’s beenschooling his players allweek on keeping theiremotions in check untilgame time Sundayevening. However, hemay have a tougher timekeeping his own in checkcome Sunday night whenhe leaves WheelingIsland Stadium.

so we needed to closethat game out,” managerDusty Baker said. “Wedidn’t have any lengthhad they tied that gameup and went to extrainnings. So the guyscame in and they knewwhat was at stake, theyknew the Cardinals hadlost, they knew that wewere short in the ‘penand the guys camethrough.”

In the sixth, Pence’stwo-run homer to theCrawford Boxes in leftfield scored Carlos Leeand tied the game at 4.

“You got a hot HunterPence tonight. That wasjust good hitting,”Baker said. “Every timea guy hits a home runit’s not necessarily amistake like peoplethink. He knows thatit’s good hitting on hispart.”

Houston managerBrad Mills agreed.

“Hunter getting fourhits like he did, that’sspecial,” he said.

Keppinger followedthat shot with a doublethat dropped just shortof the wall in left centerfield, but Reds starterTravis Wood retired thenext three batters.

Joey Votto had a solo

homer that landed in thefirst row in right field tomake it 4-2 in the fifthinning.

Houston starter BudNorris sailed throughthe first three innings,retiring nine of the first10 batters, before he gotinto trouble in thefourth. Orlando Cabrerasingled before consecu-tive walks by Votto andJonny Gomes loadedthe bases. A sacrificefly by Bruce scoredCabrera to tie it at 1.Norris then hit Cairowith a pitch beforeVotto was out at homeon a force out.

Ryan Hanigan hit atwo-run single to giveCincinnati a 3-1 lead.

“I got a little sloppythere, but I made somepitches,” Norris said.“You got to make pitch-es and compete and bat-tle. I got to come outtomorrow and get bet-ter. There’s been abunch of starts thathave gone that way, butI’m learning and tryingto get better every day.”

Pence drove in a runwith a single in the firstinning that made it 1-0.Pence got Houstonwithin 3-2 when he beatthe throw home on asacrifice fly by ChrisJohnson in the fourthinning.

Wood gave up ninehits and four runs with

four strikeouts in sixinnings. Norris gave upfour hits and four runsin six innings.

NOTES: Astros aceRoy Oswalt addressedreports that he hasdemanded that anytrade require a team topick up his $16 millionoption for 2012. “Themoney part I can workout with anybody,” hesaid, without confirm-ing or denying thosereports. “That’s no bigdeal. We can work ondoing different thingsas far as restructuring,whatever they want todo. I think the biggestdeal is trying to make itfit for both of us.” ...Gary Matthews Jr., whois currently playing forTriple-A Louisville, canopt out of his deal if heisn’t brought up to themajors by Saturday.Baker didn’t say if hewould be brought up,but did say he hopes hedoesn’t opt out.

If you are a member ofa hunting family, it’s apretty safe bet that youhave firearms in yourhome, but do you putmuch thought into whatthose guns are doingbetween the monthsbetween hunting sea-sons?

For the most part, hunt-ing and target shootingare very safe recreationalpursuits and firearm acci-dents in the field are veryrare. More firearm-relat-ed incidents happen inthe home than at theshooting range or afield.Firearm safety isn’t verycomplex and most of it iscommon sense.

Every person who hasbeen through hunter edu-cation class has beenintroduced to the fourbasic rules of firearmsafety:

First, keep the muzzle(that’s the business endof a firearm) pointed in asafe direction.

Second, treat every gunas if it were loaded;check it yourself to makesure. Dad always told me“unloaded” guns are theones that shoot people; ofcourse they weren’t trulyunloaded, but someoneassumed they were.

Third, be sure of yourtarget and what is beyondit; don’t point a gun atanything you don’t wantto shoot and make sureyou know what is behindit. This rule applies evenif you are certain thefirearm is unloaded.

Finally, keep your fin-ger off the trigger untilyou are ready to fire.

One thing almost everyfirearm-related accidenthas in common is thehuman element; someperson, either throughcomplacency, foolishnessor inexperience, initiateda complex string ofevents that resulted in atragedy.

In hunter educationclass I usually come upwith a scenario. The

details don’t really mat-ter; it simply has toinvolve someone beinginadvertently shot.

During the discussion,I point out how someonehad to handle the firearmand load ammunitioninto it before it could fire,it had to be pointed in anunsafe direction to hurtsomeone or shoot someunintended target, and(barring a mechanicalmalfunction) someone orsomething had to pull thetrigger. Break any step inthis chain and nothingwill happen.

That’s because a trulyunloaded firearm is littlemore than a club, andeven a loaded gun willjust sit there until some-one handles it. The gundoesn’t have a mind of itsown, someone has topick it up, load it, point itin an unsafe direction(either intentionally orunintentionally) and thenpull the trigger.

Following a few addi-tional simple guidelinescan make firearms evensafer, for instance keepfirearms locked up out of

the reach of children andirresponsible adults (afirearm safe makes agood storage place, andalso helps protect yourguns from theft). Teachchildren in your homehow to properly handlethe firearms and don’ttreat them with an air ofmystery because we allknow that youngsters arevery curious and wenever know where theymay encounter firearms.

Furthermore, keepyour ammunition secure-ly locked up in a separatelocation from yourfirearms. Remember,without shells or car-tridges a gun is littlemore than a club.

Also, make sure yourfirearms are kept in goodworking condition andreceive regular care andmaintenance.

Transporting firearmssafely in a vehicle posesanother challenge. Thebest bet? Follow the lawsregarding the transporta-tion of firearms - in Ohiothat’s guns unloaded andcarried in a secure case,in plain sight in a gunrack with the actionopen, or in a compart-ment of the vehicle thatcan only be reached bygetting out of the vehicle.

Finally, remember thatguns and alcohol – or anyother drug that canimpair a person’s judg-ment – never mix. In myexperience there are fewthings as frightening as adrunken person with agun.

BORDEAUX, France(AP) — Even withouthis most importantteammate, MarkCavendish showed yetagain that few cantouch him when itcomes to sprinting.

The British rider cap-tured the 18th stage ofthe Tour de France onFriday while AlbertoContador of Spain drewcloser to victory. Thedefending championleads Luxembourg’sAndy Schleck by eightseconds enteringSaturday’s decisivetime trial, a day beforethe three-week raceends in Paris.

Cavendish won astage for the fourth timein this Tour and the14th time in just threeyears of competing incycling’s premier event.

He surged to the frontin the final couple ofhundred yards. He gave

himself such a lead thathe was able to lookbehind him a couple oftimes and then cross theline with his fist in theair.

Some Hollywood starpower was there togreet him. CameronDiaz and Tom Cruise,on hand to promotetheir latest film inFrance, joined Contadoron the podium toreceive his yellow jer-sey. Cruise raised theSpaniard’s hand andpatted him on the back.

Cavendish won with-out his usual leadoutman and roommate.Mark Renshaw wasexpelled from the raceafter the 11th stage forhead-butting an oppo-nent, and Cavendishdedicated his latest vic-tory to Renshaw. Hesays the Australian ridermade life easy, bringinghim to the front.

“ I ’ v em i s s e dM a r k , ”Cavendishsaid. “Im i s s e dhim in thePyrenees, Im i s s e dsomebodys u f f e r i n g

more than me. I missedsomebody to laughabout, about how hard itis.”

Second place went toJulian Dean of NewZealand and third toAlessandro Petacchi ofItaly. Petacchi took thegreen jersey given tothe leading sprinterfrom Thor Hushovd ofNorway.

Hushovd acknowl-edged that his fight toretain the sprint title hewon last year was over.

“It’s a big disappoint-ment, but I realized stepby step during the

sprints that I’m suffer-ing,” said Hushovd,speaking after duckinginto his team bus to takeoff the green jersey hehad been wearing. “Idon’t have the samelevel as Cavendish andPetacchi, and today wasjust another sprint thatdidn’t work out.”

Although Contadorhold what appears aslender lead, he isexpected to easily out-pace Schleck in the 32-mile time trial fromBordeaux to Pauillac.Last year, he won thetime trial held late inthe Tour and took 1minute, 45 seconds offSchleck.

Contador, as theleader, also has theadvantage of ridinglast, allowing him toknow how all his rivalshave done.

Saturday is the laststage in which the posi-

tions at the top canchange. Sunday’s finalstage into Paris is tradi-tionally a sprinters’stage and a daylongvictory procession forthe overall winner.

Still, Contador insistshis victory is not cer-tain until the time trialis over.

“This is a hard stagethat comes after 20days in the Tour, andthis isn’t a race for spe-cialists. I think tomor-row I will really have tofight a lot to win thestage and to defeat(Schleck).”

Schleck, for his part,has not given up hope.

“I feel good. I havenothing to lose,” he

said. “He’s better butI’m not bad, too. We’regoing to see a battletomorrow.”

In the race for thirdplace, Olympic roadrace champion SamuelSanchez of Spain holdsa 21-second lead overDenis Menchov ofRussia, the winner ofthe 2009 Giro d’Italia.

Among those hopingto win Saturday isworld time-trial cham-pion Fabian Cancellaraof Switzerland,Schleck’s teammate atSaxo Bank. Cancellaratook the race’s pro-logue time trial andheld the yellow jerseyfor six days early in therace.

National Sports BriefsBrowns sign McCoy, Lauvao

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Brownshave signed rookie quarterback Colt McCoy to a mul-tiyear contract, but have not yet reached an agreementwith first-round pick Joe Haden.

Terms of McCoy’s deal were not immediatelyknown.

McCoy was selected in the third round in April’sdraft. The former Texas star reported with the team’sother signed first-year players on Friday. TheBrowns’ veterans are not required to arrive until nextweek. Cleveland opens training camp on July 31.

The Browns say they have also signed offensivelineman Shawn Lauvao, who was taken seven picks— No. 92 overall — behind McCoy.

The team is continuing talks with the agents forHaden, the No. 7 overall pick. Second-round picks,safety T.J. Ward and running back Montario Hardesty,are also unsigned.

Cavs sign F Christian Eyenga CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers

have added their first player since LeBron James leftas a free agent, signing swingman Christian Eyenga.

Terms of the deal were not immediately known.The Cavs selected Eyenga in the first round, 30th

overall, in the 2009 draft, but the 21-year-old playedin Spain last season to develop his skills. He averaged3.9 points and 2.0 rebounds in 29 games for DKVJoventut Badalona.

The 6-foot-5 Eyenga played on the Cavs’ SummerLeague team earlier this month in Las Vegas and aver-aged 11.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in five games.

James’ departure for Miami left the Cavs with fewoptions in free agency. The team signed Houstonguard Kyle Lowry to an offer sheet that was matchedby the Rockets. Cleveland also offered a contract tofree agent forward Matt Barnes, but he turned it downand signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.

WVU volleyball coach to retireMORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Longtime West

Virginia University volleyball coach VeronicaHammersmith is stepping down after 35 years.

She has served as volleyball coach since 1975. Heroverall record is 580-574.

Hammersmith was named Atlantic 10 coach of theyear in 1991 and the Big East coach of the year in1997.

The university says it will begin a national searchfor Hammersmith’s successor.

Steelers, Tomlin agree on extensionPITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers

have signed coach Mike Tomlin to a two-year con-tract extension through the 2012 season, with anoption year in 2013.

The extension was expected because the Steelers’policy has been to sign a coach before he begins thefinal season of a contract. Tomlin is only the Steelers’third coach since 1969, following Chuck Noll (1969-91) and Bill Cowher (1992-2006).

Tomlin is 31-17 in three seasons. During the 2008season, he became the youngest coach — he was 36— to win the Super Bowl when the Steelers beatArizona 27-23.

The Steelers were 9-7 and missed the playoffs lastseason. They open training camp July 30 at SaintVincent College in Latrobe, Pa.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported July 13 thatTomlin had signed a three-year extension.
