Stocker, 71 June Stout, 71 Downtown projects topic of Merchants discussion By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Structural improvements coming to downtown Pomeroy, along with spring beautification projects, were the emphasis of the discussion at Tuesday morning’s meeting of the Pomeroy Merchants Association at Farmers Bank. Meeting with the merchants to discuss village projects and answer questions concerning timing were Paul Hellman, Pomeroy village administrator, and Luke Ortman, Pomeroy Village Council member. Helman reported that the street and sidewalk project will go up for bid sometime in May and hopefully be awarded in June since the funding will be available in July. That would allow the work to be- gin in August. Several of the members had questions concerning the scope of the proposed work with Helman, inviting them to give input at the bid information meeting that is open to the public. He said public involvement, particularly from the merchants, is welcome. Also discussed at the meeting was the removal of utility poles on the Main Street sidewalk. Two years ago, AEP installed new poles on the center strip between Main Street and the parking lot, and moved its electric lines to the new poles. At that time it was reported that the cable and telephone lines on the AEP poles on the sidewalk would be moved to the new poles so that the ones on the sidewalk could be removed by the power company. That hasn’t happened. It was decided that AEP would be contacted to encourage some action toward getting the cable and telephone companies to remove the lines so that the old poles can be taken down. Ortman and Hellman talked about plans for sprucing up the downtown area, mentioning covering the electrical boxes with something attractive, power washing areas where needed, replacing damaged flower pots in front of the stores, planting of flowers downtown, and developing a summertime youth program. The projects would be a combined effort between the village and the Merchants Association along with Imagine Pomeroy. The crack in the lower parking lot wall was also discussed and it was decided the Corps of Engineers should be contacted about possible repair. Hellman volun- teered to take care of that. Plans for the Pomeroy Merchants Association’s annual community Easter egg hunt were announced by Brian Howard, president. The hunt will be 1 p.m. Saturday at the Dream Field, located on the hill near the former Salisbury School. Jenni Dunham will again chair the event where hundreds of colored eggs are hid in three different areas. Children will be divided into age groups and will hunt eggs in an area specified for those in the age range. As in previous years, after the children complete the hunt they will turn their finds in for a prize. In each of the three areas, there will be one golden egg. The children finding the golden eggs will receive a giant Easter basket filled with trinkets and candy. Again this year, Meigs Prayer Task Force members will be at the site at noon to serve hot dogs to the children and to present an Easter skit. During the meeting, Howard distributed an agenda of events for the Sternwheel Festival slated for Sept. 11 to 13. New events planned include boat and carriage rides, a walking history tour and crafter’s village. The duck derby, a project of the Merchants Association, disbanded last year but will return to the agenda this year. The new Sternwheel Festival committee includes Howard, Juanita Green, Susan and Toney Dingess, Paige Cleek, George Wright, Luke Ortman, Brandoin Bartee, Tom Reed, Jackie Welker, Brenda Roush, John Musser, Jane and Larry Banks and John Thomas. Free income tax preparation available locally By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com Photo by Brenda Davis The pinwheels along Ohio 7 near Middleport serve as a reminder that protecting kids from abuse and neglect is everyone’s responsibility. Child Abuse Prevention month MEIGS COUNTY — Driving along Ohio 7 near Middleport, it is difficult not to notice the addition of dozens of pinwheels. But why they are placed there may remain a question to some. April is National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month. The pinwheels are sponsored by the Meigs County Family and Children First Council and are a visual representation of the number of reports of child abuse and neglect in Meigs County in 2013. There were 275 reports last year. The goal is to increase awareness of child abuse and neglect prevention. Pinwheels were purchased through the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund, whose mission is to prevent child abuse and neglect by investing in strong communities, healthy families, and safe children. The theme for this year is “Pause for a Child. Protect. Reflect. Report.” The pinwheels serve as a reminder that protecting kids from abuse and neglect is everyone’s responsibility. The hotline for reporting abuse is displayed on the banner. Anyone can report child abuse or neglect and remain anonymous at (800) 992-2608. The mission of the Meigs County Family and Children First Council is “creating a community, through collaborative services and programs, where children and families are valued and supported.” By supporting families and promoting their social and emotional well being, the agency hopes to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. For more information on the Family and Children First Council, contact Brooke Pauley at (740) 992-2117 ext. 104, or meigsfcfc. weebly.com. POMEROY — With the income tax deadline just days away, residents are reminded that free assistance with preparation of both federal and state tax forms is available at the Meigs Senior Citizens Center.

All returns are prepared with tax software and can be filed electronically without charge. Volunteers are available Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon to assist in preparing both federal and state returns. While the emphasis is on assisting seniors, others are welcome to take advantage of the service if they fall within the low or moderate income category, according to Rhonda Rathburn, of the Council on Aging staff, who is in See FREE | 3 Boots taken from Crime Victim display Planting Seeds of Hope, a native plant conference By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — “Planting Seeds of Hope” is the theme of the native plant conference, a program of the Ohio State Extensive Service, scheduled for 9 a.m. April 17 at the Mulberry Community Center, located at 260 Mulberry Ave., in Pomeroy. It was noted that this year’s conference will deal with creating a passion among youth for things of nature, described by Dr. Frank Porter, of Porterbrook Native Plants, as “being a topic that is too often neglected by native plant enthusiasts.” Porter said that the conference is a step in that direction, and that “it is incumbent on each of us to take responsibility to pass on to these children and young adults our knowledge and passion for the wonders of nature.” He called parents, children, elders and friends to come together to once again learn and share the basic principles of gardening and understand the importance of biodiversity, working together to share ideas, labor and the harvest wrought from the sweat of their brows.” He added that the underlying goals of this confer- ence are “to inspire a return to a greater measure of self-sufficiency; a re-enforcement of family togetherness with a renewed bond, and with an understanding of nature. “ Featured at the conference will be five speakers. The keynote speaker will be Deborah Perryman , a teacher of biology and environmental science, whose topic will be “Misunderstood Critters.” Bridgid Trimble, who is a biology teacher, will speak on “Moving Youth to Action,” to be followed by Susan VanderHaar who will emphasize the importance of “Empowering Children to be Stewards of the Earth.” Other speakers will be Jenny Richards, a naturalist at Shawnee State Park, whose topic will be “Bringing Children to the Forest.” The final speaker will be Julia Lilegren, a Regional Education Advocacy manager for the National Wildlife Federations’s Great Lakes Regional Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. There is a $35 fee to attend the conference, which includes lunch and other refreshments. For more information, contact the Extension office at 992-6696 or e-mail porterbrooknative@yahoo.com. Submitted photo A display that was to honor and remember victims of crime in Meigs County now has a piece missing after the boots of one homicide victim were taken earlier this week. Theda Petrasko, director of the Meigs County Victims Assistance Office, said the boots of James W. Gardner had been placed by his family as part of the National Crime Victims’ Rights Week display on the Pomeroy parking lot. The victim’s family states that their deceased father was not an extravagant person, but to the deceased victim, this was an extravagance that he allowed himself to buy and wear. Event organizers are asking that the boots be returned.

Ex-FBI agent, litigator vie to face Ohio’s Kasich COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Endorsed Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Ed FitzGerald faces a May primary contest against Larry Ellis Ealy, an unemployed self-proclaimed civil rights activist with a history of runins with police. The winner faces Republican Gov. John Kasich this fall in one of the nation’s most closely watched races. FitzGerald, 45, of Lakewood, was elected to lead populous Cuyahoga County, home to Cleveland, in 2011. Voters selected the former FBI agent and assistant county prosecutor to clean up and rebuild government after a corruption scandal. Ealy, meanwhile, has filed dozens of lawsuits in Ohio courts — mostly against police, judges and mental health officials, an Associated Press review found. He dropped out of high school in the 11th grade an records show he’s done community service and time behind bars over the years for generally minor infractions. He ran unsuccessfully for Dayton mayor in 2009. Ealy , 51, of Trotwood, and running mate Ken Gray, of Cincinnati, entered the race on filing day. Ealy has no campaign website, has reported no fundraising and operates his campaign from a personal cellphone. Those are signs the candidate has little chance of besting the well-funded and amply staffed FitzGerald campaign on May 6. At last report, FitzGerald had about $1.4 million on hand, compared with Kasich’s $7.9 million. FitzGerald’s running mate is Yellow Springs lawyer Sharen Neuhardt, who has offered geographic and gender diversity to the ticket after an earlier running mate was forced to step aside amid revelations of outstanding business and personal tax liens. Neuhardt, a former congressional candidate, has mostly appeared sepa- rately from FitzGerald as the two blanket the state in campaign appearances and fundraising events. They have offered key contrasts to Kasich in the areas of women’s health and abortion rights and in calling for more transparency at JobsOhio, the private job-creation office championed by Kasich and controlled by his appointees. Ealy told the AP he wants to legalize marijuana and create a new tax base from it to help educate and house the homeless. He said that if elected, he would relaunch a high-speed rail project that was abandoned when Kasich took office. The federal government had allotted $400 million for passenger train service linking Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland, a project supported by former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland but killed by Kasich. Ealy, who is black, said he was running for office because he believes minorities are being oppressed and enslaved. “This is why I’m making the move that I’m making, so I can free black people from oppression and the poor as well,” he said. The volume of lawsuits Ealy has filed against the establishment over the years prompted him to be declared a “vexatious litigator.” Ealy said many of the cases are a result of a pattern in which “the Dayton police are designed to use force against AfricanAmericans.” Ealy acknowledged that voters might know little about him but said they also might not know much about FitzGerald. “I didn’t know he was running until mid-December,” he said. “I just happened to Google the Internet and see who was all running for governor and then there his name was. So I don’t know nothing about the guy. All I know is that he’s a Cleveland executive.” tween $870 and $1,000 each: A Caring Place Children’s Advocacy Center, Wintersville; Children’s Advocacy Center of Guernsey County; Children’s Advocacy Center of Licking County; Cleveland Rape Crisis Center; East Liverpool Law Director’s Office; Help Hotline Crisis Center, Youngstown; Lighthouse Youth Services, Cincinnati; Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office; Townhall II, Kent; YWCA of Van Wert.

Ohio candidate calls for more heroin treatment COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state needs to treat the problem of heroin abuse as a public health crisis by ramping up prevention and treatment efforts and toughening penalties for dealers, including homicide charges if an overdose results in death, the Democratic candidate for Ohio attorney general said Tuesday. Money from Ohio’s expanded Medicaid funding should be directed to addiction treatment, David Pepper said, adding the state should also return local government dollars to communities dealing with the crisis. He called the current crisis, which includes record numbers of heroin overdose deaths, “one of the most predictable crises you’ve ever seen.” He said Ohio authorities should have known a recent crackdown on illegal painkiller clinics would drive addicts to heroin. “Ohio has played this game of whack-a-mole, where we went af- ter it in one place with the criminal sanction, we didn’t provide the underlying treatment, and now we have a crisis frankly that’s arguably even bigger, with heroin which is cheaper and more dangerous,” Pepper said. Among other proposals, Pepper would: —Create a multiagency task force including public health officials, community leaders and police to develop an anti-heroin strategy. —Push the use of proven prevention programs, provide more money for treatment and sue drugmakers who Pepper says marketed powerful drugs such as painkillers without fully disclosing the risks. —Crack down on suppliers and dealers, including tougher sentences for the worst dealers and homicide charges against dealers whose drugs result in overdose deaths. Pepper appeared at a news conference with Adams County COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In an escalating dispute, the leader of Ohio’s largest county asked federal investigators on Tuesday to determine if new state procedures for providing absentee ballots are intended to suppress Democratic and minority votes. Cuyahoga County executive and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald announced the request at a Cleveland news conference. He is challenging a recently passed law barring county elections boards and other public officials from mailing unsolicited, absentee-ballot applications to registered voters, as well as a budget bill amendment made Monday in the Republican-dominated Ohio House that would strip 10 percent of local government funding from counties that violate the law. A vote by the Cuyahoga County commissioners is scheduled for Tuesday on a proposal by FitzGerald for the county to assert its homerule powers to mail early ballots to all voters there. “As a former FBI agent, this is not a decision that I make lightly, but a thorough investigation is clearly warranted to examine the recent actions that would make it harder for working men and women to vote in 2014,” FitzGerald said. “I am especially disappointed that, unless they get their way, some politicians in Columbus are willing to hold hostage taxpayer funds that help ensure public safety here in Cuyahoga County.” Secretary of State Jon Husted said in a phone interview before FitzGerald’s announcement that a reasonable resolution was possible. He said Cuyahoga County’s intentions regarding absentee ballots were redundant and illegal, but he also criticized fellow Republicans in Columbus for threatening monetary sanctions. Under Ohio law, all voters will receive absentee ballots in the mail ahead of the November general election, Husted said. “There’s no reason for Cuyahoga County to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and violate the state law for a service that’s already being provided,” he said. “Having said that, it’s no reason to cut the local government fund and penalize the people there for the actions of their leaders.” House Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz told reporters Tuesday that the budget amendment could change, amid stern objections by Republican Gov. John Kasich. “We are looking at a range of possibilities that would include a different approach or a different timing even, too,” Amstutz said. Kasich told reporters after an event in Lockbourne that he didn’t support legislative efforts to penalize Cuyahoga County. “We don’t support that,” the Columbus Dispatch quoted Kasich as saying. “I just don’t think you use the local government fund — it’s not there to be used like that. I just think it was not a well-conceived idea.” In his letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach, FitzGerald said recent state laws signed by Kasich are cir- cumventing mechanisms the county had put in place to reach a population heavy with renters, transient residents and the homeless. That included same-day registration and voting, expanded weekday and weekend hours, and mailed absentee applications complete with postage-paid envelopes, FitzGerald wrote. “These solutions were successful,” he said. “The State, however, has jettisoned the very solutions that proved successful in resolving elections problems in Cuyahoga County.” With nearly 1.3 million residents, Cuyahoga County is home to about 11 percent of Ohio’s population. About a third of residents are black and a majority Democrat. Husted defended the uniform voting hours that Ohio has put in place across the state. “The state law, federal court rulings and common sense dictate that all voters should vote by the same set of rules,” he said. “That’s the definition of equality. It’s not ‘Animal Farm’: Some people are more equal than others.” Local health dept joining W.Va. chem spill lawsuit CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department plans to join the city of Charleston in suing over a chemical spill that contaminated 300,000 West Virginians’ water supply. County Health Department board members voted Tuesday to hire outside counsel and partner on a lawsuit. The city, which also has contracted outside lawyers, has not filed anything about the Jan. 9 spill yet. County Health officer Rahul Gupta said the department incurred more than $200,000 in costs while responding to the spill.

Pepper said the state and in particular Attorney General Mike DeWine have responded slowly to the epidemic of heroin abuse. DeWine has called the heroin problem an epidemic with as many as 11 Ohioans dying of overdoses a week. He’s created a special police unit to beef up investigations of heroin rings and has held town halls across Ohio to alert communities to the problem. Suburban communities are often reluctant to acknowledge the problem, DeWine said. He said he welcomes Pepper’s ideas. “We’ve never seen anything like it.

Before you get started with your spring cleaning, perhaps another matter deserves some dusting off — that long-term financial plan. April is National Financial Literacy Month — the perfect time to spring into action when it comes to planning your financial future. If you already have a plan, this is a great opportunity to take another look at it and make sure you’re still “on track” to reach your financial goals. According to a 2013 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, the past few years have seen a sharp decline in Americans’ confidence about their retirement savings. Only 13 percent of workers feel very confident about having enough for a comfortable retirement and 28 percent are not at all confident. More than half of workers have less than $25,000 in total savings and investments. Twenty-eight percent of workers have saved less than $1,000. If you haven’t begun saving for retirement, now is a good time to start — no matter what your age. If retirement is near, you’ll want to jump into the fast lane right away. If you’re younger and retirement seems a life- time away, it’s still in your best interest to begin saving now. Here’s how much the magic of compound interest will work to your advantage. For example, a 25year old who begins saving $100 a month and earns a modest 5 percent interest will have more than $150,000 at age 65. Save $200 a month and you’re looking at more than $300,000. Experts agree that saving when you’re young will make a world of difference when the time comes to draw on your retirement savings. Don’t just take our word for it. You can check out the numbers yourself. A great way to start figur- A tax reformer’s uphill push By George Will The Sisyphean task of tax reform should be tried only by someone who will not flinch from igniting some highly flammable people — those who believe that whatever wrinkle in the tax code benefits them is an eternal entitlement. Tax reform’s Senate champion is Ron Wyden, the affable, cerebral and tall Oregon Democrat who once wanted to be the NBA’s greatest Jewish power forward since … never mind. Anyway, a serious Republican reform plan has been produced by Rep. Dave Camp, who is retiring from Congress but will probably be succeeded as chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee by Paul Ryan, who has a wholesome monomania about promoting economic growth. Conservatives should rejoice that the Senate’s most important chairmanship, that of the Finance Committee, has come to Wyden, whose progressive credentials are impeccable but who says: “We like expanding the winners’ circle.” And who believes that economic growth of 4 percent is not only feasible but urgent. Furthermore, the Congressional Budget Office might do “dynamic scoring” rather than “static scoring” of tax reform. That is, the CBO would consider probable behavioral changes — by workers, business executives, investors, savers and consumers — when projecting the revenue results of reforms that change incentives. If the reforms were likely to increase economic growth, the CBO would estimate increased government revenues, reducing resistance to tax cuts. Although Wyden, 64, is in only his third full term, in January he will be the Senate’s seventh-most senior Demo- crat. If Republicans then control the Senate, Wyden will be the ranking Democrat on Finance, which probably will be chaired by Utah’s Orrin Hatch, who is the most senior Republican and second-most (behind Vermont Democrat Pat Leahy) senior senator. Wyden comes from Portland, the Vatican of progressivism, so Democrats may tolerate him collaborating with Hatch and Ryan — adult supervision for the congressional sandbox — in crafting tax reforms that respond to the CBO’s recent ominous economic outlook for 2014-2024. It projects growth through this year of about 3 percent. This would be “the largest rise in nearly a decade” but would be anemia continued, considering that the unprecedentedly weak recovery from the recession has left median household income 3.3 percent lower than when the recovery began almost five years ago. The CBO says that after 2017, “growth will diminish to a pace that is well below the average seen over the past several decades.” It cites “long-term trends — particularly, slower growth in the labor force” as the population ages. The CBO also mentions other reasons the growth potential is “much slower than the average since 1950”: “Changes in people’s economic incentives caused by federal tax and spending policies set in current law are expected to keep hours worked and potential output … lower than they would be otherwise.” Growth-igniting tax reform is required to rescue the nation from a “new normal” of appalling underemployment. Wyden, whose state produces wood products, says “housing is a very real economic multiplier — it cannot be outsourced,” so The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Wyden’s party will insist on preserving the deductibility of state and local taxes, a nearly $80 billion benefit that encourages state and local spending. Unions, especially, will fight for the $260 billion benefit of not taxing as compensation, which it obviously is, employer-provided health insurance. “You never,” says Wyden equably, “get to start from scratch in Washington.” Of the nation’s embarrassing down-at-the-heels infrastructure — roads, airports, harbors — Wyden says, “You can’t have a big-league quality of life and big-league economic growth with little league infrastructure.” He has a plan (“Build America Bonds”) for getting “billions of private dollars off the sidelines” and into infrastructure investments. In addition to minimizing growth-suppressing economic distortions, tax simplification would reform politics by shrinking opportunities for transactions between private factions and the political class. This class confers favors as much with the tax code as with appropriations. “You can drain the swamp,” says Wyden. “They did it in ‘86.” Yes, Congress simplified the code, eliminating preferences to pay for lower rates, but the swamp was unimpressed: Since then, the code has been re-complicated more than 15,000 times. Still, Wyden, ebullient in the face of daunting evidence, will, like Sisyphus, roll the reform boulder up the mountain, challenging the axiom that tax reform cannot be done in an election year or the year before one, which are the only years we have. ing out how much you will need for retirement is to use Social Security’s online Retirement Estimator, which offers an instant and personalized estimate of your future Social Security retirement benefits based on your earnings record.

Kerry’s folly, Chapter 3 By Charles Krauthammer When has a secretary of state been involved in so many disastrous, self-initiated negotiations? First, John Kerry convenes — against all advice and holding no cards — Geneva negotiations to resolve the Syria conflict and supposedly remove Bashar alAssad from power. The talks collapse in acrimony and confusion. Kerry’s response? A second Geneva conference that — surprise! — breaks up in acrimony and confusion. Then, even as Russian special forces are taking over Crimea, Kerry goes chasing after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov — first to Paris, then Rome, then London — offering a diplomatic “offramp.” Lavrov shrugs him off. Russia annexes Crimea. The crowning piece of diplomatic futility, however, is Kerry’s frantic effort to salvage the Arab-Israeli negotiations he launched, also against all odds and sentient advice. He’s made 12 trips to the region, aiming to produce a final Middle East peace within nine months. It is month nine. The talks have gone nowhere. But this has been a fool’s errand from Day One. There never was any chance of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas concluding a final peace. Now in the 10th year of a four-year term (there never was a re-election — he just stayed in office), Abbas doesn’t have the legitimacy. With half of Palestine (namely Gaza) controlled by his rejectionist mortal enemy Hamas, he doesn’t have the authority. And he doesn’t have the intention. Abbas openly refuses to (a) recognize Israel as a Jewish state, (b) yield the so-called right of return (that would flood Israel with millions of Palestinians, destroying the state demographically) and (c) ever sign any agreement that ends the conflict once and for all. Any one of these refusals makes a final peace impossible. All three make the entire process ridiculous. Kerry has given up trying to get a final agreement. He’s given up on even getting a “framework agreement.” He’s reduced to simply trying to keep the moribund talks going. At a price, of course. For Israel. It is supposed to keep releasing imprisoned terrorists simply to keep the Palestinians at negotiations that they themselves say have achieved nothing. Abbas wants to call off the farce so he can go to U.N. agencies for recognition — 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.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. a strategy of achieving statehood without negotiations with Israel that contradicts every agreement the Palestinians have signed since the 1993 Oslo Accord. For their part, the Israelis are tired of the diplomatic Ponzi scheme in which they are required to release terrorists to keep Abbas at the table. Until when? Until every murderer has been freed — at which point Abbas will go to the U.N. anyway? To keep stringing along the Israelis, some genius decided to dangle Jonathan Pollard. What’s he got to do with anything? Why is he being offered as an incentive for Israel to accept otherwise unacceptable conditions? Normally, the United States facilitates agreements by offering Israel compensation for the security risks it takes upon giving up territory, because the Arabs either cannot or will not offer security guarantees of their own. Thus the U.S. might try to re-establish the military balance with advanced weaponry or access to timely intelligence. But Pollard? He is an American traitor who is up for parole next year anyway. It has long been a mistake for Israel to agitate for his release. He disgracefully betrayed his country. What kind of corrupt and cynical quid pro quo is this? One that Abbas is trying to make irrelevant. On Tuesday, he essentially turned over the negotiating table by signing on to 15 U.N. and international conventions as the “State of Palestine,” thus publicly undermining the essence of the U.S. peace process and humiliating the hapless secretary of state. Kerry will likely ignore the insult and carry on regardless. Uselessly. Instead of trying to stave off Abbas’ U.N. bid with the release of Palestinian terrorists and an American spy, perhaps the administration could simply stop fighting Congress, which developed a far more effective method. Under law, any U.N. agency that recognizes “Palestine” has its U.S. funds cut off. The Obama administration keeps trying to restore funding for UNESCO, which in 2011 defied the U.S. in recognizing Palestine. What kind of signal is this to the rest of the world? Financial sanctions are precisely the kind of pressure that can support diplomacy. Yet this administration seems intent on removing sanctions that might thwart Palestinian moves toward unilateral statehood, the latest Palestinian strategy for getting land without offering peace. After all, that would be diplomacy with teeth. So 19th century.

(AP) — An 85-year-old woman with dementia had a male stripper gyrate in front of her against her will at her suburban New York nursing home, according to a lawsuit filed by her family but the facility’s lawyer said Tuesday the performance had been requested by its residents. John Ray, the attorney for Bernice Youngblood and her family, said the woman’s son found a photograph of a man in white briefs dancing in front of his mother when he visited her in January 2013 at East Neck Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The photo, which Ray distributed to reporters, shows Youngblood putting money into the dancer’s waistband. Ray said Youngblood had been urged to participate and did so against her will. Franklin Youngblood, who attended the news conference outside the Long Island facility, said he immediately went to a nursing supervisor for an explanation. The lawsuit claims the nurse attempted to grab the photo from him. Ray said Bernice Youngblood, who herself had worked as a health aide for the elderly when she was younger, had her dignity taken away when “nursing home employees subjected her to this disgraceful sexual perversion.” Bernice Youngblood, who attended the news conference in a wheelchair with some of her relatives at her side, mumbled in a barely audible voice that she felt “terrible” and “ashamed” about what happened, but had no specific recollection of the details of the incident. Ray said he has yet to determine who took the photograph, or how it got in the woman’s bedroom drawer. Howard Fensterman, an attorney representing the facility, said a 16-member resident committee had requested the September 2012 performance and the nursing home paid the $250 fee. Fensterman said the facility’s management reserves the right to reject a request by the residents’ committee, particularly if the activity were deemed detrimental. “But in this instance these are adults who wanted to have this activity, they requested it, they voted on it and the nursing home approved of it,” he said. Al Sharpton says report of FBI cooperation not new after low-level mobsters warned him and others they would be harmed if they continued to compete for a stake in the music business — a claim he recounted in his 1996 book, “Go and Tell Pharaoh.” “We were threatened, and that’s not a new story,” Sharpton said. “It’s in my book.” Sharpton claimed that after the FBI targeted him in a failed sting, he “fought back and said, ‘I’m being threatened. These are the kinds of guys you should be going after.’” For about two years, the FBI enlisted Sharpton to record conversations with mob figures using a bug hidden in a briefcase, he said. His role, he said, was to try to get them to repeat the threats and also talk about any other crimes. He added: “I made the right decision. … The only thing I’m embarrassed by are those old fat pictures.” A spokesman for the FBI’s New York office declined to comment on Tuesday. The Smoking Gun report was based on court documents and FBI memos released in response to Freedom of Information requests. They included a draft affidavit by an FBI agent investigating allegations that the Genovese crime family had a lucrative “stranglehold” on music industry executive Morris Levy.

Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.cremeensfuneralhomes.com Big outside groups overshadow parties in key races WASHINGTON (AP) — Millionaires and billionaires are increasing their influence in federal elections, leaving political parties to play more limited roles, and raising questions about who sets the agenda in campaigns. In a handful of key Senate races, the biggest and loudest players so far are well-funded groups that don’t answer to any candidate or political party. That can make it hard for voters to know who is responsible for hard-hitting TV ads and other “messaging.” Candidates and parties acknowledge the outside groups, such as those financed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, can be helpful. And last week’s Supreme Court decision voiding overall limits on contributions to candidates, PACs and political parties may give the parties a modest financial boost. But some party officials say even friendly independent groups can be unpredictable, unaccountable and worrisome. “The difficulty with outside groups is they may not understand what’s happening inside a district,” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who oversees Democrats’ House races this year. He said he sometimes sees TV ads from pro-Democratic groups “and I cringe. I don’t know where they’re going.” Nicolle Wallace, a top aide in the 2004 and 2008 Republican presidential campaigns, echoed that view. “When you land in a battleground state, and you plan a speech the next day on, say, military spending,” she said, it can be Lawsuit: Male stripper did show at NY nursing home NEW YORK (AP) — The Rev. Al Sharpton admitted on Tuesday that he helped the FBI investigate New York Mafia figures in the 1980s, even making secret recordings that appeared to help bring down a mob boss. But at a news conference, Sharpton insisted he never considered himself a confidential informant, despite a report identifying him as the “CI-7” referenced in recently released court records. “I was never told I was an informant with a number,” Sharpton told reporters at his Harlem headquarters in response to the report posted Monday on The Smoking Gun website. “In my own mind, I was not an informant. I was cooperating with an investigation.” The report’s timing became a distraction for Sharpton a day before he was to host President Barack Obama as the keynote speaker at the annual convention his civil rights group, the National Action Network. The MSNBC host complained that he was unfairly portrayed as a turncoat mob associate instead of a victim in front-page tabloid stories featuring headlines like “REV RAT” and 30-year-old photos of him when he was overweight and wore his hair in a bouffant. Sharpton said that he went to federal authorities Page 5 The Daily Sentinel Death Notices BILLY J. ‘HILLBILLY’ JONES RACINE — Billy J. “Hillbilly” Jones, 43, of Racine, passed away unexpectedly at 12:39 a.m. Monday, April 7, 2014, in the Emergency Department at Pleasant Valley Hospital in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Suddenly the campaign must prepare talking points, research and other materials it had not anticipated, Wallace said. The clout and proper place of the Republican and Democratic parties, which have dominated U.S. politics since the Civil War, are now more in doubt than they were a few years ago. “It obviously diminishes the roles of the parties because we have this large influx of outside money,” said Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee. Massive spending with no accountability, he said, is a scandal waiting to happen. The Supreme Court last week removed limits on the overall amount that wealthy donors can give to candidates and political parties. The two parties now can try to wring more money from rich donors who previously were limited in total donations each election cycle. But the court retained limits on how much a donor can give to any one campaign or party committee. More important, it didn’t touch the relatively new type of super PACs, such as the one funded by the Kochs. The court ruling may enable the political parties to raise more money in various ways. But the impact will be modest for each party’s three traditional committees, which focus on House races, Senate races and the overall party. As the outside groups have gained muscle, the leaders of both national parties concede they’ve taken on more technical and mundane duties. “I have to focus on the things that I most control,” said Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Those include “the mechanics, having boots on the ground, fixing the digital and data problems.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said: “We’re a lot more tactical and granular these days than we were a few years ago.” “Many years ago, we funded more national ads,” she said. “It was more top-down, with less connection to grassroots.” Gary Pearce, a long-time Democratic strategist in North Carolina, said: “it’s not the candidates who drive the campaigns today. It’s the outside groups that dictate the agenda.” North Carolina’s highly competitive Senate race is a testing ground for the outside groups. First-term Sen. Kay Hagan, DN.C., is struggling against an avalanche of attack ads. Most are funded by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-affiliated group. Hagan says voters don’t realize who pays for the ads. All major campaign players, she said, “need to disclose who their donors are, and be much more transparent.” Money raised and spent by the parties is subject to such disclosures. But the independent groups’ money is not. Republicans are hailing the court’s ruling as a triumph, while top Democrats denounce it. GOP Sen.

Both the boys and girls divisions had 20 different teams score at least one point, although more than 20 schools competed at the annual event. The Lady Eagles scored a winning tally of 88 points and beat the rest of the girls division by 25 points.

See EAGLES | 10 Rams take series with DH sweep of Rio BLUEFIELD, Va. — For the University of Rio Grande baseball team, Sunday’s doubleheader against Bluefield (Va.) College turned out to be far from the optimum follow-up showing to, arguably, the club’s biggest win of the season. The homestanding Rams rallied late to win game one and then never trailed in game two, sweeping the RedStorm, 5-4 and 5-2, in Mid-South Conference action at sunny Bowen Field. Rio Grande, which posted a 12-0 mercy rule-shortened win in the series opener on Saturday night, slipped to 1622 overall and 4-14 in league play with the losses. Head coach Brad Warnimont’s team finds itself 2-1/2 games out of eighth place in the league with only nine conference contests remaining. The top eight teams in the 10-team league qualify for the post-season tournament in early May. Bluefield, which improved to 24-11 overall and 8-9 in the MSC, currently sits in seventh place in the conference standings, two games ahead of the University of the Cumberlands and the University of Pikeville. However, the league’s near top-to-bottom logjam has the Rams just two games behind Campbellsville University and Shawnee State University, who are tied for second behind current leader Georgetown College. In game one, Rio Grande rallied from a 3-1 first inning deficit only to watch the Rams score twice in the bottom of the ninth for the win. Rio took a 1-0 lead in the first on consecutive two-out singles by junior Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH), senior David Steele (Kettering, OH) and sophomore Chris Ford, but Bluefield countered with an RBI double by Jakob Schober and run-scoring singles by Jacob Wright and Sawyer McLamb to go in front.
