Slack, 90 Jennifer Waugh, 22 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 59 Middleport Council struggling with new position By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A lively discussion about an ordinance passed as an emergency measure by Middleport Village Council at its March 24 meeting to establish a grant writing position, and also to hire Fred Hoffman as a grant writer for the village, resulted in a vote at Monday night’s meeting to rescind both actions and introduce new legislation. At that earlier meeting, Councilman Roger Manley claimed emergency status for the ordinance to create the position so that all three readings could be handled in one meeting, and Hoffman could be hired as grant writer without further delay. While the emergency status was questioned at the time by Mayor Michael Gerlach and Susan Baker, clerk/financial officer, Manley insisted on moving forward because of past delays on both passing the ordinance and hiring Hoffman. The mayor contended that the right way to hire someone into a management position was to open up the job to applicants through newspaper advertising. At that March meeting, both the ordinance establishing the position and the legislation claiming the emergency status to create the position by giving it all three required readings, and hiring Hoffman into the position, passed by a vote of four to one. Doug Dixon, Sharon Older and Richard Vaughan joined Manley in favor, while Emerson Heighton voted “no” on both issues. Penny Burge was absent. When questioned about the legality of the action, Manley gave as his authority Steve Smith, a Columbus attorney, who was conducting a training session for new council members. Man- ley, who has been on Middleport Council for several years, accompanied Dixon, Older and Vaughan to Columbus for the session. All four were emphatic at the March 24 meeting of Middleport Council that that they were told by Smith that “everything they wanted to do could all be handled as an emergency measure in one session.” Smith reacted in a letter and in a telephone call to the mayor. He said that the information given by the council was not accurate, that he never gives legal advice to anyone on a specific legal issue unless retained — and that was not the situation with Middleport — and that only the village’s attorney, who is paid a fee, is in a position to do that. In Smith’s conversation with the mayor, he asked for a retraction and requested that the inaccurate information as provided by Manley, Dixon, Older and Vaughan at the council meeting which had been reported in this newspaper be clarified. At that point, Manley acknowledged that specific information on the Middleport issue had not been given.

Cleaning up the library landscape By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — There is value in volunteering and students from the three high schools are getting some experience. Some weeks ago, Meigs High School students assisted with grocery distribution in Rutland to families in economic distress. A couple weeks ago, Eastern High School’s National Honor Society students helped prepare food for a community dinner in the Family Life Center in Middleport. And last week, vocational agriculture students at Southern High School conducted an outdoor cleanup session around the Pomeroy Library. The library project was arranged by Joy Bentley, who is on the library board of trustees. She called teacher Jinna Gilliam to suggest the project and with permission from her principal, the students worked from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. around the library building pulling weeds from the flower beds and gathering up debris Ryan Billingsley, Jacob Dixon, Jesse Connolly, and Tanner Roush, left to from around the building. Then they ap- right, raked and scraped and put down peat moss to get the beds ready for planting flowers. plied fresh mulch to the beds. GALLIPOLIS — A former caretaker was sentenced Monday in Gallia County Common Pleas Court after he reportedly abused or neglected a disabled person. After pleading guilty to a fourth-degree felony charge of patient abuse, William Crane, 35, of Middleport, was sentenced by Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans to two years of community control. Following Monday’s hearing, Assistant Gallia County prosecuting attorneys Eric Mulford and Britt Wiseman said the case would have, prior to the passage of Ohio House Bill 86, elicited a prison term. “The sentence of community control, rather than prison, is required under House Bill 86, which changed the law on felony sentencing as of 2011,” Mulford said. “If the defendant violates the terms of his community control, we expect him to be sentenced to 17 months of prison.” An indictment was filed Sept. 12, 2013, following the alleged abuse that occurred on Aug. 29, 2012, according to the indictment. The indictment further specifies that Crane, being the owner, operator, administrator, agent or employee of a care facility, did “knowingly commit abuse against a resident or patient of the care facility …” Following the filing of his indictment last year, Crane was arrested on a warrant and appeared for an arraignment hearing with his appointed counsel, defense attorney Barbara Wallen. He was later released on an own recognizance bond. Crane subsequently entered a guilty plea during a hearing last month in common pleas court and, during Monday’s hearing, as a condition of his community control sentence, Crane was further ordered to pay $50 a month while on probation, perform community service and register with Ohio Employment Services, if unemployed. He was further ordered to have no contact with the residents or property of Porter Road Group Home. Wiseman reported following the hearing that the matter was taken seriously by the prosecution as it not only involved the abuse of a patient, but a disabled patient. “Even though the assault would have been a misdemeanor if the victim had not been disabled, we take this offense very seriously and insisted on a guilty plea to the charge rather than a lesser offense,” Wiseman said. Mulford and Wiseman thanked the Gallia County Board of Developmental Disabilities and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for their “diligence in investigating this matter.” Crane was given credit for a total of two days jail time credit served and was ordered to pay the costs of prosecution.

MEIGS COUNTY — A former Ohio State University football player was recently sentenced to 36 months in prison on drug charges. Raymond A. Small, 27, of Columbus, previously entered a guilty plea to one count of felony third-degree aggravated possession of drugs in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Small was indicted in March 2013 on three felony counts following a traffic stop by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Small was charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the second degree; aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the third degree; and carrying a concealed weapon, a felony of the fourth degree. According to the indictment, Small was in possession of 117 bundles of heroin, a schedule I substance, and the amount of the unit doses equals or exceeds 100 unit doses but less that 500 unit doses. He was also allegedly in possession of 243 oxycodone tablets, a schedule II substance. The alleged crime occurred on or about Feb. 26, 2012. According to a report at that time, Small was arrested Feb. 26, 2012, by troopers with the Gallia-Meigs Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. He was arrested along U.S. 33, 3.5 miles west of the William S. Ritchie (Ravenswood) Bridge. At the time it was reported that Small was found with 243 pills believed to be oxycontin, an undisclosed amount of suspected heroin, some hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes and a loaded .25-caliber pistol. Columbus-based attorney Eric Brehm represented Small in the case. Small has also been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to a drug trafficking charge in Franklin County. The Associated Press reports that the sentences are expected to run concurrent. In Franklin County, Small was charged after police found heroin and prescription pain and antianxiety pills while searching his apartment last year. He was a wide receiver for Ohio State from 200609. He was among the players involved in the memorabilia scandal that led to the forced resignation of coach Jim Tressel. �Page 2 The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, April 16, 2014 For the Record Rutland Fire Department RUTLAND — The Rutland Fire Department responded to the following calls March: one structure fire; one mutual aid structure fire; one emergency landing zone set up; three brush fires; one automobile fire; three cancelled en route; 23 emergency squad runs; a total of 33 runs.

If allowed to run dry, that could set back or shut down projects across the country, force widespread layoffs of construction workers and delay needed repairs and improvements. Anthony Foxx kicked off an eight-state bus trip in Ohio to whip up public support for congressional approval of legislation to keep federal transportation aid flowing to states for another four years, and possibly longer. But Congress will have to act fast. The trust fund — the source of much of the aid — is forecast to essentially run dry sometime before the end of the federal fiscal year Sept. 30, and possibly as early as late August. If that happens, the government will have to slow down or even halt payments to states, which rely on federal aid for most major highway projects. Uncertainty over whether there will be enough funds in the coming months is already causing officials in states like Arkansas, California and Colorado to consider delaying planned projects. Foxx’s warnings this week echo ones by President Barack Obama, who cautioned in February that unless Congress finished a bill by summer’s end then “we could see construction projects stop in their tracks.” But there is little interest among politicians in an election year to consider raising gasoline taxes. Many transportation insiders, including Foxx’s predecessor, Ray LaHood, predict Congress will wind up doing what it has done repeatedly over the past five years — dip into the general treasury for enough money for to keep programs going a few weeks or a few months, at which point the exercise will have to be repeated all over again. But keeping highway and transit aid constantly teetering on the AP Photo A section of the $500 million I-75 Phase II modernization project is under way in Dayton. On the road in a tour bus this week, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx is urging Congress to quickly approve legislation to pay for highway and transit programs amid warnings that the U.S. governments Highway Trust Fund is nearly broke. If allowed to run dry, that could threaten to set back or shut down projects across the country, force widespread layoffs of construction workers and delay needed repairs and improvements. edge of insolvency discourages state and local officials from moving ahead with bigger and more important projects that take many years to build. In 2012, Congress finally pieced together a series of one-time tax changes and spending cuts to programs unrelated to transportation in order to keep the trust fund solvent for about two years. Now, the money is nearly gone. “Tell Congress we can’t slap a Band-Aid on our transportation system any longer,” Foxx urged state and local officials at a stop Monday to view one of Ohio’s biggest construction projects. Other states on the tour are Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Foxx is promoting Obama’s fouryear, $302 billion plan to shore up the trust fund with savings from proposed changes to corporate tax laws. The White House has said as much as $150 billion could come from its proposal to close corporate loopholes, such as ones that encourage U.S. companies to invest overseas. “I feel it’s clearly a crisis,” Fox said in an interview, “but we have a responsibility to put a proposal out there that casts a longer-term vision, that helps Congress and the country quite frankly think past our noses, and that’s what we’re doing.” It would also be a one-time fix, but it would generate enough money to ratchet up transportation for several years. Rep. David Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House’s tax-writing committee, has also proposed a one-time, $126.5 billion infusion into the trust fund over a period of eight years. But his plan is part of a much broader rewrite of corporate laws, which would require heavy-lifting from Congress at any time, but especially in the hyper-partisan atmosphere of an election year. “There doesn’t seem to be much of an appetite to go after corporate tax reform this year, which is the only long term funding source that has been proposed by both the administration and Congress,” said Joshua Schank, president of the Eno Center for Transportation, a Washington transportation think tank. But Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, told reporters last week that “what seems to be coming forward as a consensus is a piece of tax reform” rather than shifting money from the general treasury or raising fuel taxes. Foxx cited the modernization of Interstate 75, which rumbles through the heart of this middlesized Ohio city, as an example of the kind of much needed improvements communities want but may have to forgo. The $381 million project is intended to expand the highway’s capacity, reduce traffic congestion, and eliminate dangerous and confusing left-hand exits. More than a third of the project’s cost is being paid with trust fund dollars. The interstate highway program, launched in 1956, has been funded primarily through federal gas and diesel taxes under the principle that users of the system should pay for its construction and maintenance. But it’s been clear for nearly a decade that fuel taxes haven’t been keeping pace with transportation needs as the nation’s population grows and its infrastructure ages. The 18.4 cents a gallon federal gas tax was last increased in 1993 as part of a deal between President Bill Clinton and Congress to raise money to help reduce the federal deficit and pay for transportation programs. Clinton was fiercely criticized by Republicans as a tax-raiser, and the issue was one of several reasons Democrats lost control of the House and Senate the following year. It was a lesson lawmakers in both parties took to heart. “People don’t want to vote to increase the gas tax,” LaHood, a former Republican congressman, said in an interview. With encouragement from Congress, some states are stepping up their use of tolls to help pay for projects. But tolls aren’t practical for all projects. “Congress is stymied,” said John Horsley, former executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. “We’re all scratching our heads.” Council From Page 1 The mayor gave extensive information, some of which was taken from a state poster, regarding the handling of ordinances, including the legal aspect of claiming emergency status and time for reaction from the public. It was also noted that council did not have the right vote count to take it to the emergency status or to eliminate it from the status since five of the six council members must be in agreement. Burge was not present when the vote was taken. With that, council voted to make void the ordinance passed by emergency measure on March 24. Manley, who voted for rescinding the ordinance, claimed there were errors in the original ordinance — including the number of hours to be worked, saying it should have been 20 hours a week, not a month, and that the job title should have been economic development director, not grants administrator. He had presented his recommendations for the job to the mayor and clerk to be included in the new ordinance prepared by the clerk. It was given a first reading and passed by the required majority. Included in the economic development director’s job listed in the ordinance is “to research into ways and means of benefiting the village in a positive monetary manner; to report on the results of this research and request permission from village council to pursue matters that will result in thee economic improvement of the village, and shall be required to show how the performance of his or her duties financially beneficial the village.” To be in compliance with the law, Burge made a motion that the position be advertised so that everyone has an opportunity to apply for the job. To speed things up, Manley suggested a special meeting for giving a second reading, although he did not make a motion to that effect. Therefore, the second and third readings of the proposed ordinance will be held at the next two regular meetings after which council can move on hiring an economic development person. During the meeting, reports were heard from each of the department heads on activities, problems and solutions. Chief of Police Bruce Swift reported receipts of $9,265 in March with 27 cases going through mayor’s court. He also noted training programs taken by officers on handling meth lab containers, crisis intervention and sover- eign citizen training. Also giving reports were Mony Wood in regard to the jail operation, Faymon Roberts, village administrator, reported on water leaks and the work being done to solve those problems, and Mike Hendrickson, building inspect and floor plane administrator, had a report. It was announced that Don Vaughan, and Cass and Hank Cleland will be at the next meeting to discuss FEMA’s changes in the flood insurance program and the village’s role in the process.

Search From Page 1 7:25 a.m. The call came in from the U.S. Coast Guard after being notified by the towboat operator. Veith said the towboat operator reported seeing what appeared to be a white or light-colored SUV, noticing its red brake lights first, then the river’s current spun the vehicle around to show its headlines burning. The towboat tried to stay with the vehicle but eventually lost visual contact with it. Later in the day, the Gallia County Sheriff’s Department was able to spot a large object under the water consistent with the size of a vehicle about 30 to 40 feet off the bank near the West Virginia side of the river, though no visual contact had been made. This item was tagged and a dive team from the Cottageville Fire Department arrived to search the area, but with the deteriorating weather conditions, the search was called off Tuesday afternoon. Veith also reported a 2008 GMC Arcadia SUV was stolen from a residence on South Park Drive on Tuesday morning in Point Pleasant. Several other vehicles in the area were also broken into. Veith said at this point there is no proof the Arcadia is the same vehicle spotted in the Ohio River. Veith and personnel with the PPPD also traveled the length of the Ohio River north of Riverfront Park, going as far north as Camp Conley searching for a point of entry where a vehicle could’ve made it into the river. As of Tuesday afternoon, nothing suspicious had been spotted along this path. The city of Point Pleasant also has security cameras mounted at Riverfront Park and video was being reviewed. Veith said there had been no reports of any missing persons as of Tuesday afternoon. Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant was helping organize and lead the search for the vehicle from the riverbank. West Virginia has jurisdiction over the Ohio River in these types of situations. As of press time Tuesday evening, there was no word on when the search would resume. mo. for 12 months Not eligible with Hopper or iPad 2 offer. PACKAGES UNDER $50 Prices valid for 12 months.

All the naysaying in the world can’t drown out mounting evidence that the Affordable Care Act, President Obama’s signature domestic achievement, is a real success. Republican candidates running this fall on an anti-Obamacare platform will have to divert voters’ attention from the facts, which tell an increasingly positive story. A new report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that, despite all the problems with the HealthCare. gov website launch, 12 million people who previously lacked insurance will obtain coverage this year. By 2017 — the year Obama leaves office — the CBO predicts that an additional 14 million uninsured will have managed to get coverage. Why was the Affordable Care Act so desperately needed? Because without it, 54 million Americans would presently have no health insurance. Within three years, according to the CBO, Obamacare will have slashed the problem nearly in half. We should do better, and perhaps someday we will. Most industrialized countries have some kind of single-payer system offering truly universal coverage. But if you have to work within the framework of the existing U.S. health care system — which involves private health insurance companies and fee-for-service care — the Affordable Care Act reforms are a tremendous advance. Many Republican critics of Obamacare know, but refuse to acknowledge, that the reforms are here to stay. Does the GOP propose to let insurance companies deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions, as they could before the ACA? Does the party want to reimpose lifetime caps on the amount an insurer will pay? Tell young adults they can no longer be covered under their parents’ policies? I didn’t think so. More likely, Republicans will continue to mumble vaguely about “private-sector incentives” and “consumer choice” — without acknowledging that the ACA reforms offer plenty of both. And the GOP will continue to bray about “big government health care,” which is an out-and-out lie. Obamacare, to the contrary, will leave the present system basically intact. The CBO predicts that a decade from now, the great majority of non-elderly Americans will still obtain health insurance through their employers — an estimated 159 million, as opposed to 166 million if Obamacare never existed. Only about 25 million people are expected to get coverage through the federal and state health insurance exchanges. Even this coverage, mind you, will be provided by private health insurance companies, not the government. So, to recap: The Affordable Care Act is a cautiously designed set of reforms whose impact on most people is approximately zero. It is well on the way toward its goal of providing coverage to the uninsured. Given all the good news — including the fact that 7.5 million people have now signed up for insurance through the state and federal exchanges, more than projected — you’d think that Republicans might start looking for another issue to run on in the fall. But you’d be wrong. The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate. If you know of an error in a story, call the newsroom at (740) 992-2156.

There is no sign that GOP strategists intend to let facts get in the way of their story. After spending so much time and effort trying to make “Obamacare” a synonym for “bogeyman,” Republicans have no graceful way to acknowledge that the program is actually a success. All the apocalyptic endof-freedom rhetoric that we continue to hear from the far right sounds increasingly ridiculous to moderate voters who have no strong party allegiance. But the GOP’s activist base continues to respond with campaign donations and raring-to-go enthusiasm — factors that can make the difference in a midterm election when moderate voters often stay home. To do well in the fall, Democrats have to infuse their most loyal voters with similar enthusiasm. The success of Obamacare will help. Already, polls are showing upticks in support for embattled Democratic incumbent senators in Louisiana, Arkansas and Alaska. Democrats control their own destiny in November: If they can get their voters to the polls, they’ll win. In the long run, no matter what happens in the election, I’m more convinced than ever that the Affordable Care Act will be seen as landmark legislation. With minimal immediate impact, the ACA does two tremendously important things. First, it shifts the incentive structure in the health care industry in ways that promise to hold down rising costs. And second, it establishes the principle that health care should be considered a right, not a privilege. Of course it’s not perfect. It’s a thing of beauty anyway. We have liftoff. It’s working.

Dionne An oligarchy, Webster’s dictionary tells us, is “a form of government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons.” It’s a shame that the Republican majority on the Supreme Court doesn’t know the difference between an oligarchy and a democratic republic. Yes, I said “the Republican majority,” violating a nicety based on the pretense that when people reach the high court, they forget their party allegiance. We need to stop peddling this fiction. On cases involving the right of Americans to vote and the ability of a very small The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Michael Johnson Content Manager number of very rich people to exercise unlimited influence on the political process, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and his four allies always side with the wealthy, the powerful and the forces that would advance the political party that put them on the court. The ideological overreach that is wrecking our politics is now also wrecking our jurisprudence. The court’s latest ruling in McCutcheon et al. v. Federal Election Commission should not be seen in isolation. (The “et al.,” by the way, refers to the Republican National Committee.) It is yet another act of judicial usurpation by five justices who treat the elected branches of our government with contempt and precedent as meaningless. If Congress tries to contain the power of the rich, the Roberts Court will slap it in the face. And if Congress tries to guarantee the voting rights of minorities, the Roberts Court will slap it in the face again. Roberts’s McCutcheon ruling is based on a political reality Roberts sweeps aside with faux naivete: Access and power come not just from relationships with individual members of Congress but from strong links to party leaders and party structures. Roberts writes as if he is defending the First Amendment rights of all of us. But how many people are really empowered by this decision? According to the Center for Responsive Politics, 1,715 donors gave the maximum amount to party committees in 2012, and 591 gave the maximum amount to federal candidates. The current estimate of the population of the United States stands at more than 317 million. Those using the word “oligarchy” to describe the political regime the Supreme Court is creating are not doing so lightly. Combine McCutcheon with the decision in the Citizens United case and you can see that the court is systematically transferring more power to a tiny, privileged sliver of our people. I keep emphasizing the word “power” because the Roberts decision pretends that the concept is as distant from this issue as Pluto is from Earth. The philosopher Michael Walzer, in his book “Spheres of Justice,” made the essential distinction: “Freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly: none of these require money payments; none of them are available at auction; they are simply guaranteed to every citizen… . Quick access to large audiences is expensive, but that is another matter, not of freedom itself but of influence and power.” In his McCutcheon opinion, Roberts piously declares: “There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.” This lovely commitment escaped him entirely last summer when he and his allies threw out Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. Suddenly, efforts to protect the right of minorities “to participate in electing our political leaders” took second place behind all manner of worries about how Congress had constructed the law. The decision unleashed a frenzy in Republican-controlled states to pass laws that make it harder for African Americans, Latinos and poor people to vote. Thus has this court conferred on wealthy people the right to give vast sums of money to politicians while undercutting the rights of millions of citizens to cast a ballot. Send in the oligarchs. �Wednesday, April 16, 2014 Obituaries Jayne Vail; grandchildren Chaz, Coree, Stephanie and Eva; brother Tommy (Suzanne) Mankin; sister Mary (Bob) Gloeckner; and nieces, nephews and many friends.

Ukraine: Military secures airport from attack KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) — In the first Ukrainian military action against a pro-Russian uprising in the east, government forces said they repelled an attack Tuesday by about 30 gunmen at a small airport. The clash came hours after Ukraine’s acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, had announced an “anti-terrorist operation” against the armed, pro-Russian insurgents who had seized control of numerous buildings in at least nine cities in Ukraine’s restive east. The central government has so far been unable to rein in the insurgents, who it says are being stirred up by paid operatives from Russia. The insurgents are demanding broader autonomy and closer ties with Russia, and, complicating the political landscape, many local security forces have switched to their side. The clashes Tuesday came at Kramatorsk airport, just south of the city of Slovyansk, which is 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the Russian border. The city has come under the increasing control of the gunmen who seized it last weekend. The precise sequence of events in Kramatorsk was mired in confusion amid contradictory official claims. Ukraine’s security services anti-terrorist unit chief, Gen. Vasyl Krutov, speaking outside Kramatorsk airport, said his men managed to thwart an attack by fighters in green military uniforms without insignia who tried to storm the facility in the late afternoon. An Associated Press reporter and camera crew at the airport heard rounds of gunfire at the time. After the armed standoff, hundreds of local people surrounded the airport in response to rumors that government troops were planning to launch a military operation on the city of Kramatorsk itself. Some in the crowd attempted to enter the military facility, prompting Ukrainian troops to fire bursts of warning shots. There were conflicting reports of casualties. Yury Zhadobin, coordinator of a pro-Russian defense force, said two people were slightly injured and were taken to a hospital. Russian media, without sourcing, claimed anywhere from four to 11 casualties at the airport. Ukraine’s government said there were no casualties and added that Ukrainian forces took an unspecified number of militiamen prisoner. In an attempt to defuse the standoff, Gen. Krutov came out to speak to the crowd of people picketing the airport but was attacked by them. While he spoke of repelling an attack, the new government in Kiev declared that its forces had recaptured the airport from militiamen. “I just got a call from the Donetsk region: Ukrainian special forces have liberated the airport in the city of Kramatorsk from terrorists,” Turchynov told parliament. “I’m convinced that there will not be any terrorists left soon in Donetsk and other regions and they will find themselves in the dock - this is where they belong.” The United States on Tuesday gave its tacit support to Ukrainian military action against pro-Russian militia. This is not the preferred option, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, but the Ukrainian government has to respond to what he said was an untenable situation. What was clear is that the area bordering Russia is getting increasingly armed and unstable. Russia itself also has tens of thousands of troops stationed along the border, which Western officials say is adding to the instability. Earlier Tuesday, an Associated Press reporter saw at least 14 armored personnel carriers with Ukrainian flags, helicopters and military trucks parked 40 kilometers (24 miles) north of the city. Other heavy military equipment appeared nearby, along with at least seven busloads of government troops in black military fatigues. “We are awaiting the order to move on Slovyansk,” said one soldier, who gave only his first name, Taras.

Ohio school board debates sexual orientation rule By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — A proposal to protect schoolteachers from being fired or otherwise treated differently on the basis of sexual orientation is dividing the state school board. Backers of the proposed policy change told the Ohio Board of Education on Tuesday the move would encourage the hiring and retention of the brightest teachers and set an example of inclusion for gay, lesbian and transgender youths. “No person who possesses the knowledge, skill and passion for teaching and who abides by the code of professional conduct should ever be treated differently simply because of his or her age, color, ancestry, national origin, race, gender, religion, disability or veteran status,” Ohio Education Association vice president Scott DiMauro told the board. “The same must hold true for sexual orientation.” Columbus City Schools counselor Jimmie Beall recalled being fired from another district based on the administration’s suspicion she’s a lesbian. “I was not fired because I was gay. I was not fired because I was a lesbian,” she told board members. “I was fired because there were questions about my sexual orientation. That’s scary.” At issue is a proposal by board member Stephanie Dodd to amend language in Ohio’s operating standards for schools on nondiscrimination to add sexual orientation to the list of protected classes. Board member C. Todd Jones on Tuesday questioned whether adding such nondiscrimination language to the state’s education rules would impose unwanted requirements on parochial and Christian schools. He said the proposal “confronts directly another important freedom that is guaranteed in the United States: That’s free exercise of religion, the First Amendment.” Jones said it is part of the board’s job in setting state education policy to weigh the needs of families sending children to secular public schools and to parochial schools, where religion is part of students’ educational experience. “There are those who hold certain tenets of faith that would be contrary to a nondiscrimination provision,” he said. The board’s legal counsel also has recommended against the language change, noting that Ohio nondis- crimination law does not include sexual orientation on its list. The debate came a day after a federal judge in Cincinnati overturned a portion of Ohio’s 2004 gay marriage ban, ruling that Ohio must recognize out-of-state marriages between same-sex couples. Opponents of the ban are pursuing a ballot measure that would seek to overturn it. Equality Ohio executive director Elyzabeth Holford testified that Republican Gov. John Kasich has already signed an executive order applied to state workers that opposes discrimination based on sexual orientation. She said this would be an extension of that sentiment. “We need to make sure that we have the best and the brightest, and that includes all of us,” Holford said. “And the pool that we choose from is not one that we want to limit.” Dodd said she first brought forward her proposal eliminating discrimination based on sexual orientation 14 months ago.

Lady Knights blast Sissonville, 10-2 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com SISSONVILLE, W.Va. — It’s not how you start something, but rather how you finish it. The Point Pleasant softball team rallied from an early 1-0 deficit and claimed a convincing 10-2 victory over host Sissonville Monday night during a non-conference matchup in Kanawha County. The Lady Knights (10-5) found themselves in a 1-0 hole after an inning of play, but the guests rallied with a run in the top of the second to knot things up at one. A leadoff error allowed Madison Barker to reach second, then a ground out and a passed ball allowed her to score to even things up. PPHS found its offensive rhythm in the fourth after plating five runs on four hits and two errors, making it a 6-1 contest through four complete. SHS (9-4) answered with a run in the fifth to close to within 6-2, but ultimately never came closer the rest of the way. Point Pleasant added four runs on four hits and two errors in the sixth to secure a 10-2 edge, which ultimately ended up being the final margin of victory. The Lady Knights outhit the hosts by a 10-7 overall margin and committed only one of the six errors in the contest. PPHS left eight runners on base, while Sissonville stranded six on the bags. Karissa Cochran was the winning pitcher of record after allowing no walks and striking out 10 over six innings of work. Olivia Montgomery took the loss after surrendering nine runs, nine hits and one walk over 3.2 innings of relief while fanning two. Makinley Higginbotham and Karson Bonecutter led PPHS with two hits apiece, followed by Cochran, Barker, Payton Fetty, Megan Hamond, Cami Hesson and Michaela Cottrill with one safety apiece.

Copley followed with a solo home run in the second for a 3-0 cushion. Chesapeake scored twice in the fifth to close to within a run at 3-2, but RVHS answered with two scores in the sixth to reestablish a three-run edge. Copley delivered a two-out double and later scored on a single by Ashley Gilmore. Gilmore later scored on a Leach double for a 5-2 lead. Davidson hit a solo homer in the bottom of the seventh, but the hosts ultimately never came closer than the final two-run outcome.
