Wagonrod, 92 50 cents daily THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 68 Pomeroy man killed in U.S. 33 crash Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com ATHENS COUNTY — A Meigs County man was killed early Wednesday morning following a two-vehicle crash involving a semi-trailer on U.S. 33 near the Athens-Meigs county line. According to information re- leased by the Ohio State Highway Patrol post in Athens, the crash occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. Wednesday after a GMC Sierra driven by Tommy R. Reuter, 74, of Pomeroy, turned east onto U.S. 33 from County Road 89/Rainbow Lake Road and was struck by a semi traveling at about 55 mph in the west- bound lane on U.S. 33. The semi, driven by Gilbert G. Woods, 41, of Mansfiled, Ohio, as well as Reuter’s truck were engulfed in flames as a result of the crash, according to troopers. Woods was reportedly not injured as a result of the crash, while Reuter was pronounced dead at the scene and was taken to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office by Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home staff. Woods was reportedly wearing his safety belt at the time of the incident. It is unknown whether Reuter was using his seat belt. U.S. 33 was reportedly closed for about three hours as investigators finished se- curing the scene and crews cleaned up. OSHP was assisted on scene by the Athens County Sheriff’s Office, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Athens Fire Department, Richland Area Volunteer Fire Department, Athens County EMS and the Athens County Coroner’s Office.

Board of Elections issues Primary Election voter information By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — When Meigs County voters go to the polls Tuesday, they will be asked to select one of five ballot styles — Democrat, Green, Libertarian, Non-partisan (issues only) or Republican. Becky Johnston, director of the Meigs County Board of Elections, said the election official on site will be asking voters which ballot style they would like. She said it is a requirement that voters tell the official which ballot they would like to vote. As usual, the polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at all polling locations, which are the same as they were last year except in Rutland, according to Johnston. This year, the Meigs Local selected for state’s summer food program By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs Local School District has been selected by the state as one of six organizations to participate in a summer food program for children in lowincome families. Announcement of the funding from Gov. John Kasich noted that summer meals will be provided for some of Ohio’s most at-risk children, including 400 enrolled in the Meigs Local School District. In partnership with the Governor’s Office of FaithBased and Community Initiatives, the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, Meigs Local School District will set up an innovative delivery method for providing meals to children who live in remote, rural areas without access to traditional summer food service program sites. Chrissy Musser, Meigs Local’s food service director, said she is extremely grateful for Kasich’s support, as well as the interest of his wife, Karen, who recognizes the importance of good nutrition for Ohio’s children. She added that “maintaining children’s nutrition in the summer months is crucial to their ability to be focused learners when they return to school in the fall.” Musser, who carried out a similar program for Meigs Local students last year, said she is excited about the program and what it will mean for the Meigs Local children and their families. See PROGRAM | 2 Rutland Civic Center will not be used as a polling location. All three Rutland precincts will be voting at the Rutland Nazarene Church Fellowship Hall at 460 Main St. in Rutland. Meig County’s Local and district candidates on the ballot include: For County Commissioner Tim Ihle, incumbent; for County Auditor, Mary T. Byer-Hill; incum- bent; for Common Pleas Judge/ probate and juvenile, L. Scott Powell, incumbent. For State representative, the candidates for the 94th District are Debbie Phillip, Democratic Party; Yolan G. Dennis and Daniel W. Lantz, Republican. For Representative to Congress for the 6th District, the candidates are Jennifer Garrison and Gregory D. Howard, Democratic Party; Dennis Lambert, Green Party; and Bill Johnson, Republican Party. The only issue on the ballot is Issue I, which pertains to the Infrastructure Captial Improvement Program that provides money for infrastructure programs across the state. Johnston said the deadline for people who want to file a petition as an “Independent” candidate for any of the local races is 4 p.m. Monday. She also said the Board of Elections office on Mulberry Heights in Pomeroy (in the Meigs County Annex building) will continue to be open this week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for absentee voting. The last day to vote absentee will be 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday. Motorcycle-involved deaths down in Ohio OSHP focuses on motorcycle safety, enforcement By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia and Meigs counties had a combined 71 motorcycle crashes last year, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Throughout May, OSHP officials say special emphasis will be placed on motorcycle awareness in recognition of National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Now that spring has arrived in Ohio, more motorcyclists are taking to the roads. As always, OSHP officials say motorcyclists should ride endorsed, trained and sober. According to the report, there were 134 motorcycle-related fatalies in Ohio out of a reported 12,035 crashes statewide in 2013. OHP officials say the number is a decrease of 31 deaths from the year before — a 19-percent drop. Between 2011-13, motorcycleinvolved crashes resulted in 470 deaths and more than 11,078 injuries statewide. In Gallia County, there were 39 reported motorcycle-involved crashes, while Meigs County reported 32. Both counties are part of the OSHP Jackson District, which saw 685 total motorcycleinvolved crashes in 2013. The number of deaths and injuries as a result of the crashes, particularly in Gallia and Meigs counties, was not made available. The Jackson district also includes Ross (101), Pike (25), Scioto (91), Lawrence (78), Jackson (36), Vinton (19), Hocking (82), Athens (67), Morgan (34) and Washington (81) counties. The report states that motorcyclists were at fault in 54 percent of all motorcycle-involved crashes between 2011-13. For fatal crash- es, the report shows the number rises to 66 percent. And, in 47 percent of motorcycle-involved crashes, the motorcycle was the only vehicle involved. More alarming, 44 percent of motorcycle-involved crashes between 2011-13 were involved drugs, alcohol, or both. Taking a training class and riding with proper endorsements as a motorcycle rider can help protect yourself and others from injury or even death. Out of the 2,206 citations the OHSP handed out to motorcyclists in 2013, 22 percent were for operating a motorcycle without a proper license or endorsement. OSHP official say simple things like ensuring you have a valid motorcycle endorsement, receiving quality motorcycle training and wearing proper safety equipment can be key elements in staying safe. From 2011-13, only 29 percent of those killed in motorcycle-involved crashes was wearing a helmet.

(AP) — People were plucked off rooftops or climbed into their attics to get away from fast-rising waters when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast in the span of about 24 hours, the latest bout of severe weather that began with tornadoes in the Midwest. In the Panhandle on Wednesday, roads were chewed up into pieces or wiped out entirely. A car and truck plummeted 25 feet when portions of a scenic highway collapsed. Cars were overturned and neighborhoods were inundated, making rescues difficult for hundreds of people who called for help when they were caught off guard by the single rainiest day ever recorded in Pensacola. Boats and Humvees zigzagged through the flooded streets to help stranded residents. At the height of the storm, about 30,000 people were without power. One Florida woman died when she drove her car into high water, officials said. Near the AlabamaFlorida line, water started creeping into Brandi McCoon’s mobile home, so her fiance, Jonathan Brown, wrapped up her nearly 2-year-old son Noah in a blanket and they swam in neck-deep water to their car about 50 feet away. Then, the car was flooded. “Every which way we turned, there was a big ol’ pile of water,” she said. Brown called 911 and eventually a military vehicle picked them up and took them to a shelter. Kyle Schmitz was at his Pensacola home with his 18-month-old son Oliver on Tuesday night when heavy rain dropped during a 45-minute span. He gathered up his son, his computer and important papers and left. “I opened the garage and the water immediately flowed in like a wave,” he said. “The water was coming up to just below the hood of my truck and I just gassed it.” Schmitz and his son also made it out safely. In Alabama, Capt. David Spies of Fish River/ Marlow Fire and Rescue said he was part of a team who found two women and a young boy trapped in the attic of a modular home. Spies said they received the first call of help before midnight Tuesday but they couldn’t find the group until about 8 a.m. Wednesday. By then, the water was 2 feet below the roof. A firefighter used an axe to punch a hole through the roof and free them. “They were very scared, they were very upset. I would’ve been, too,” Spies said. There were at least 30 rescues in the Mobile area of Alabama. Florida appeared to be the hardest hit. Gov. Rick Scott said officials there received about 300 calls from stranded residents. Program From Page 1 She said that beginning the week of June 9 and continuing weekly for 10 weeks thereafter, participants will be able to pick up their food boxes at one of eight centrally located distribution points in the Meigs Local School District.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Cincinnati on behalf of six gay Ohio couples who say they are in love and want to get married. “We are just like any other couple,” said Gary Goodman, who proposed to his longtime partner, Karl Rece Jr., in 2011 and is hoping to marry him on Christmas. “We love each other dearly. I would die for him,” Goodman said. “We just want the simplest thing: We want to be able to marry here in Cincinnati, in the state of Ohio, and we want it to be something that we share with our friends and our family because it’s right.” Like other successful challenges to statewide marriage bans across the country, the attorneys who filed the lawsuit are arguing that Ohio’s ban, passed by voters in 2004, violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the U.S. Constitution. “A consensus is finally emerging: the Constitution protects the right of consenting adults to love whoever they want,” the lawsuit says. “It is time for Ohio to do the same.” Lisa Peterson Hackley, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Mike DeWine, said in a statement that the office “is prepared to defend the state’s constitution and statutes regarding marriage.” Rob Nichols, a spokesman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich declined to comment “except to say that the governor believes that marriage is between a man and a constitutional rights and “unenforceable in all circumstances.” “The record before this court … is staggeringly devoid of any legitimate justification for the state’s ongoing arbitrary discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,” Black wrote. His order stopped short of forcing Ohio to allow gay couples to wed in the state. Although most of the ruling is on hold pending DeWine’s forthcoming appeal, Black did order Ohio to immediately recognize the marriages of the four couples by listing both spouses in each relationship on their children’s birth certificates. In a similarly narrow order in December, Black ordered Ohio to recognize gay marriages on death certificates. Separately from the flurry of court action, FreedomOhio is seeking to put gay marriage back on the Ohio ballot as early as November, asking voters to require woman, and he supports Ohio’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.” Along with Wednesday’s lawsuit, attorneys are asking federal Judge Michael Barrett to issue a temporary restraining order forcing Ohio to issue marriage licenses to the couples named in the lawsuit, record their marriages and grant them same rights that other married couples in the state have. Hackley said the attorney general’s office will ask the court to deny any requests for immediate action “to maintain the status quo while the case is being litigated.” Wednesday’s lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed a February suit that led federal Judge Timothy Black to order Ohio to recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages. In his April 14 order, Black said Ohio’s refusal to recognize gay marriage is a violation of that all legally valid marriages be treated equally under the law, while keeping clergy from being forced to perform same-sex marriages. Phil Burress, who led the effort to ban same-sex marriage in Ohio, has said his group, Citizens for Community Values, is prepared to fight any ballot initiative to repeal the ban and is confident that appeals courts will overturn recent rulings across the country in favor of gay marriage. Gay marriage is legal in 17 states and Washington, D.C. Federal judges recently have struck down gay marriage bans in Michigan, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia, though stays have been issued pending appeals. Similar to Ohio’s ruling, judges in Kentucky and Tennessee have ordered state officials to recognize out-of-state gay marriages. Both those orders also have been put on hold. Court upholds conviction of ex-Ohio official AP Photo Nettie Shoemaker and her husband, Victor Shoemaker Sr., pose for a photograph holding a picture of their son in their home in Leesburg, Va. Twenty years after Victor Dwight Shoemaker Jr. vanished while playing with two cousins along a West Virginia mountainside, his parents hold the belief that their only child is still alive. The boy known as J.R. had been in the woods behind his grandfather’s mobile home in Hampshire County when two cousins emerged without him on May 1, 1994. No trace of him was ever found. Parents want son’s disappearance solved Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The bedroom of Victor Dwight Shoemaker Jr. is frozen in time, right down to his 1990s cartoon-themed bedspread, as his parents hold out hope that their 5-year-old son who disappeared 20 years ago Thursday is still alive. The boy known as J.R. vanished while playing along a West Virginia mountainside on May 1, 1994. He never emerged with his two cousins from a road leading into the woods behind his grandfather’s mobile home in Hampshire County. No trace of the boy was ever found. There have been no arrests. No suspects have been identified, and police have found no indication of foul play or family involvement. “We’re hanging in there,” the boy’s father, Victor Shoemaker Sr., told The Associated Press. “But we sure would love to hear something. I would just like to say anybody that knows anything to let us know and get him back here.” Investigators who spent years pursuing the case are no closer to figuring out what happened to the boy wearing a red Bugs Bunny Tshirt, red shorts and white X-Men sneakers. State Police and the FBI hope the 20-year anniversary of his disappearance helps push the case further along. Investigators conducted several interviews of the cousins, who told police they lost track of J.R. Without physical evidence, the Shoemakers and state police have little more than theories to go on. Shoemaker believes someone abducted his son, but police have no evidence supporting that. “At this time, all investigative leads have been exhausted,” said FBI supervisory special agent Greg Heeb in Pittsburgh. J.R. was familiar with the mountainside and always knew his way back. His father is suspicious of the way the two cousins acted when they returned. Shoemaker said when he tried to talk to the other boys, “they wouldn’t say anything about it.” “I think they know what happened, but I don’t think the boys hurt him,” Shoemaker said. The cousins were 8 and 9 at the time, respectively. One’s family lived in a mobile home on the mountain, the other was from a small town in Pennsylvania. Victor Shoemaker and his wife, Nettie, haven’t spoken to the other families since. Repeated efforts to reach the cousins’ families were unsuccessful. None had listed telephone numbers. The search for J.R. was swift and hundreds joined in for five days in rainy weather with temperatures in the 30s before being halted. Over the next five months, National Guard and Army Reserve units used weekend training time to search for signs of the boy. In 1997, the FBI said it was made aware of a report that a darkcolored pickup truck had been spotted in the area the day J.R. vanished. But the tip never panned out. Another unconfirmed theory: instead of keeping its nose to the ground, a police dog looking for scents of the boy held its nose in the air as it traveled across a grassy field, leading to speculation that Outer Banks, NC Vacation Homes!

That is a cold case,” said former Sgt. B.L. Burner, a state police spokesman who retired in 2001. “There was nothing concrete. Everybody there had their suspicions.” Shoemaker can’t help but think that perhaps his son was brainwashed and is alive but living a different identity. “Still, something should ring a bell,” Shoemaker said. “That’s what we’re hoping for is that miracle.” The family’s home in Leesburg, Va., is filled with ceramic angels. Visitors are greeted by Rascal, the family dog J.R. has never met. His twin-size bed is covered with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bedspread. The packed bedroom also has a Nintendo game system, a bicycle with training wheels, miniature toy race cars displayed on a wall, and about a dozen wrapped Christmas presents containing Hess toy trucks. The living room wall has framed photos of J.R., including one at the time he disappeared and an ageprogressed depiction of him. His 25th birthday was March 30. Sgt. Robert Cooper, who has worked at the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations since 1998, declined to discuss specifics of the case, citing the open investigation. He said investigators have talked to the parents periodically as new information comes in, but not lately.

The Federal Investigation Agency in Punjab province said Amer Ahmad, 39, was picked up Monday at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore. A court ruled Tuesday that the agency can hold Ahmed for three days while it investigates him for fraud and reviews the authenticity of his travel papers. Usman Anwar, the agency’s local director, said Ahmad was traveling with $176,000, plus European currency worth about $17,000. His flight into Lahore, the capital of Punjab, arrived from Mexico, Anwar said. In December, the Harvard-educated Ahmad pleaded guilty to federal charges in an alleged kickback scheme at the Ohio state treasurer’s office.

Karl Schneider, Ahmad’s attorney in Ohio, said Wednesday he couldn’t immediately comment on Ahmad’s arrest in Pakistan. U.S. authorities also are not commenting on the case. Federal prosecutors in Columbus issued an arrest warrant for Ahmad on Friday after his wife, Samar, sought a protective order in Chicago. She alleged Ahmad threatened to harm her when she refused to get him a fake birth certificate from Pakistan for a passport. Ahmad worked for two Ohio treasurers, Democrats Richard Cordray and Kevin Boyce, and later as comptroller under Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel — a job he resigned from last year. Boyce lost the state treasurer’s job to Republican Josh Mandel in the 2010 election. Ahmad’s December plea came days after his friend Mohammed Noure Alo, a Columbus attorney and lobbyist also charged in the scheme, pleaded guilty to a wire fraud charge.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati affirmed former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora’s 2012 conviction and sentence on 32 briberyrelated offenses. Dimora had asked the court to drop four charges and grant a new trial on the remaining ones. His attorney argued the trial judge should have allowed jurors to see ethics reports the attorney said would have proven the items that Dimora received were gifts and not bribes. Prosecutors had argued the reports were incomplete and described only relationships with people who were bribing Dimora, not details or dollar figures. The three-judge appeals panel found the trial judge erred in ruling that the reports were inadmissible hearsay, but it said any error was harmless because “the government produced overwhelming evidence against Dimora.” The panel ruled that the ethics reports would have done little to tip the scales against that evidence and their admission would have hurt Dimora by “opening the door to other evidence that would have done him no favors.” Dimora’s attorney, Christian Grostic, didn’t immediately return calls for comment Wednesday. The investigation that led to the 37-day trial of the former Democratic Party chairman in Cleveland resulted in more than 50 convictions involving county officials, employees and contractors who prosecutors say traded bribes for government jobs and contracts. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Antoinette Bacon and Ann Rowland said in an emailed statement Wednesday that the appeals court ruling confirmed that Dimora received a fair trial and that the jury’s verdict was supported by overwhelming evidence of greed and corruption. Wednesday’s ruling noted that the FBI investigation into public corruption in Cuyahoga County that began in 2007 showed Dimora handed out public jobs, influenced Cleveland decision-makers and steered public contracts in return for approximately 100 bribes worth more than $250,000. �The Daily Sentinel Ohio has a broken primary Ohio Valley Publishing Democrats and Republicans have done their share of complaining about Ohio’s election favoring one party over the other. The finger-pointing started in the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. It hasn’t stopped in the 14 years that followed, even though time and again their accusations have proven fruitless. Don’t get the idea, however, that this means Ohio’s elective process is fair. It is far from being so. This is illustrated every year in the primary election, which shuns the state’s independent voters by providing them two “take it or leave it” choices:Should they wish to vote for a particular candidate, he or she is forced to join a “pre-approved” political organization, namely the Democrats or Republicans. If they choose to keep their independent status, they then are limited to voting only on state and local issues. Ohioans should find it absurd that such an anti-democratic process is happening in a so-called democracy. Fortunately there is an organization, Independent Ohio, which is working to change the state’s voting system. Founded by Cynthia Carpathios, of Canton, it is affiliated with IndependentVoting.org, a national strategy and organizing center for the independent movement. Independent Ohio is pushing for an alternative approach to Ohio’s private party primary. It is calling for a Top Two non-partisan primary, where all Ohio candidates, regardless of party affiliation, are on a single ballot, and all voters vote on this ballot. The top two vote-getters would go on to the general election. There’s nothing radical about such a system, unless one is concerned with weakening the power of political bosses in the Democrat and Republican parties. Such a system works. We’ve seen it on the local levels throughout Ohio. On a state level, such a system in California has resulted in more competitive elections, less legislative gridlock and candidates’ attentiveness to their entire constituent base. A recent Gallup poll shows 42 percent of Americans identify themselves as independent, making the issue all the more urgent as a large and growing segment of the electorate is marginalized in its voting powers by partisan primary systems. Carpathios will be using Tuesday’s Primary Election to draw attention to the organization’s movement. As she says, “We want to make independent voters visible at a time when we are most invisible.” Independent Ohio will be holding an informational picket at the Secretary of State’s office in Columbus to rally people to write state legislators and to gather signatures that support their cause. “A change is clearly needed, so that the voices of millions of independent voters who do not now have full voting rights can be heard,” Carpathios said. “We hope to lead the way to a government less hampered by partisanship and more able to move ahead with the business of our country.” Independent Ohio has a mountain to climb if it is to change Ohio’s primary. While daunting, such a task begins with that first step, such as the one Independent Ohio will be taking in 10 days.

OPINION Page 4 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2014 A ballerina’s lonely rise By Esther Cepeda into a life of overcoming poverty and instability to claim a spot at the highest Ballet lovers often read about the levels of an art form in which you canlives of their favorite ballerinas for not progress without demonstrating gory details about the agonizing pain ability, only to be seen by some as an of dancing on their toes.

I tend to think the best of people they are beautiful and iconic. and especially imagine liberal artists You’ll get none of this in “Life in as open-minded enough to have shed Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina,” the simplistic biases long before arriving at autobiography of Misty Copeland, an the pinnacle of their professions.

Instead of the standard woes about “Walking to my first rehearsal, a eating disorders or failure to be promot- young woman in the company who ed, the aching details in Copeland’s be- was a friend of mine rushed toward hind-the-curtain story are of a different me,” Copeland writes. “‘Did you sort. She provides harrowing glimpses see that stupid article in the Times, “Where Are All the Black Swans?”’ she asked me in a tone that was more accusatory than curious. ‘What are they talking about? What a dumb story.’ I couldn’t speak. I felt dismissed, and even more alone. Was she truly so clueless? If she, a friend, didn’t understand my struggles, who else would?” Copeland never let her isolation — nor the meanness from those jealous of her status in the company or enmity from those who simply believe that only whites belong in ballet — slow her down as she worked toward becoming the star she always knew she could be. In some ways the hostility — from ballet bloggers, dance critics and the types of grand patrons who’d rather see the art form go extinct than see it be universalized and made accessible to the poor — fueled Copeland. I’m spoiling the fairy-tale ending of the book, but when Copeland finally performs on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House as the Firebird in Stravinsky’s seminal masterpiece of the same name, Copeland retells the experience interspersed with heaping doses of the mantra she repeats throughout the book, “This is for the little brown girls.” Copeland sells herself too short. Ensuring that boys and girls of all races and ethnicities pursue ballet and eventually take center stage in our country’s most prestigious dance companies is the very thing that will draw younger, more diverse audiences to the art, allowing ballet to thrive for years to come. Keep on dancing, Misty, your trailblazing is a gift to all balletomanes, not just the brown ones. Mind your mouth, check your thoughts By Kathleen Parker Say what you will, but you’d best check for recording devices. Alternatively, you might check your thoughts. The past few days have provided a cornucopia of reprehensible statements, reactions to which tell us as much about our country as the comments do about the speakers. Within those reactions, one finds both cause for concern and consolation. Concern includes the potential ramifications of cruel or poorly conceived expression. Making racist remarks can do great harm to the public trust and damage hard-won gains toward racial harmony. Consolation can be found in evidence that Americans on the whole have no tolerance for racism or discriminatory behavior. But there are other layers of concern that at least bear mention: One is the loss of privacy owing to the widespread tendency to record people without their knowledge and the facility with which those utterances or behaviors can become viral. One could make a case for the net positive of exposing harmful thoughts. On the other hand, one is reminded of the Bob Dylan lyric: “And if my thought-dreams could be seen/They’d probably put my head in a guillotine.” Another source of concern is the tendency to condemn groups of people according to the words or deeds of one or a few. Racial profiling is one 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 such manifestation: If black teens commit burglaries in certain neighborhoods, then all black teens become suspect — and Trayvon Martin dies by a vigilante’s bullet. Indicting all Republicans as racist because of one cowboy’s rant is another form of profiling. If one old white guy thinks blacks were better off on the plantation than they are collecting unemployment insurance, then all old white guys (a large percentage of whom vote Republican) must be similarly racist. Finally, we should all be nervous about the instantaneous formation of social media mobs that attack a single individual whose comments, while contemptible, result in a virtual execution. Once the mob descends, no punishment short of absolute destruction seems sufficient. People may want justice but the mob wants blood. The characters corresponding to the above need no introduction. The old white guy is Cliven Bundy, the cattle rancher who greeted Bureau of Land Management agents with guns. Fortunately, no shots were fired, but the spectacle gave Bundy, a longtime federal-government denier, an opportunity to espouse his now-familiar views on race. Next came Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, 80, who urged his mixedrace then-girlfriend not to post online photos of herself with blacks or bring blacks to basketball games. The comments were captured on tape and leaked to TMZ, an online dispenser of human nightmares. Who taped and who leaked haven’t yet been established, though gossip and theories abound. Sterling isn’t a likable guy, most are agreed. He has a checkered history as a landlord who allegedly didn’t want to rent to Hispanics or African-Americans. His comments suggest disrespect for his players, who are good enough to make him richer but not to sit in his stands. For those comments, the NBA on Tuesday banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. The pain his statements caused his players, the African-American community and basketball fans everywhere was enough to warrant calls for him to step down. Never mind his callous disregard for women, including his mistress and especially his wife. So many morals, so little space. First the practical: If you don’t want your words broadcast in the public square, don’t say them. The Orwellian taint to this advice is not meant to be harsh but is offered in recognition of the world in which we live. We’re not so much a global village as a small town of gossips. On a higher note, such potential exposure forces us to more carefully select our words and edit our thoughts. This isn’t only a matter of survival but is essential to civilization. Speaking one’s mind isn’t really all it’s cracked up to be, as any well-balanced person reading the comments section quickly concludes. Ever wonder who those people are? I have some thoughts but my finely tuned self-editing skills prevent my sharing. Instead, I offer a refrigerator quote I’ve always liked. It’s often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi but possibly may have tumbled from the lips of a new-age guru. Regardless of the source, it fits the occasion: “Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.” Whence our beliefs, it seems, is the crucial challenge. Alas, bigots by definition are not inclined toward self-awareness. �Thursday, May 1, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Tankers catch fire in Lynchburg, Va., derailment LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — Several CSX tanker cars carrying crude oil derailed in downtown and caught fire along the James River in Lynchburg, leading to the evacuation of nearby buildings, but no injuries, city officials said. The city on its website and Twitter posted that firefighters on the scene made the decision to let the fire burn out and urged motorists and pedestrians to avoid the area. It tweeted that the tanker cars were carrying crude oil and that three or four of them were breached. The city said 13 or 14 tanker cars were involved in the derailment. Photos and video show several black tanker cars derailed and extensive flames and smoke. The city said there was no impact on the drinking water for its 77,000 residents due to spillage into the James River. However, officials for the city of Richmond said its public utilities department is drawing from an old canal system instead of the James River as a precaution. The train with about 15 cars was traveling from Chicago to Virginia when it derailed, CSX said in a statement. It did not say where the train was headed. The railroad operator said it is “responding fully, with emergency response personnel, safety and environmental experts, community support teams and other resources.” The National Transportation Safety said it is sending investigators to the scene. Concern about the safety of oil trains was heightened last July when runaway oil train derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, near the Maine border. Forty-seven people died and 30 buildings were incinerated. Rail and safety officials said they were surprised by the ferocity of the fire. They were used to dealing with sludge-like crude that doesn’t ignite easily, but Canadian investigators said the combustibility of the 1.3 million gallons of light, sweet Bakken crude released in Lac-Megantic was more comparable to gasoline. The city said on in a news release on its website that CSX officials were working to remove the portion of the train that is blocking workers from leaving Griffin Pipe Foundry located in the lower basin. “We’re used to kind of bangs and booms,” said Gerald McComas, a security officer at foundry up river from the derailment site. “My first thought was it sounded like one of the guys started a mo- Page 5 Obituary RICHARD FRANKLIN SMITH THE PLAINS — Richard Franklin Smith, 47, of The Plains, passed away Monday, April 28, 2014, at his residence. He was born Jan. 6, 1967, the son of Lottie Kidwell Lawson, of Reedsville, and Richard Roy Smith, of Pomeroy. He worked for Forked Run and also as a security guard. He was also a deckhand on the river. In addition to his parents, he is survived by two daughters, Ashley and Shanalle Smith, of Middleport; a special friend, Angie Haning; a brother, William and Kathi Smith, of Ravenswood, W.Va.; a sister, Cynthia Smith, of Texas; and his twin sister Sally Dailey, of Hockingport; two stepbrothers, Robert Lawson, of Reedsville, and Jason and Tonya Lawson, of Reedsville; two stepsisters, Sherry and Greg Taylor, of Middleport, and Amy and Eric Johnson, of Tuppers Plains; a nephew, Shawn Smith; and several other nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Josepine and Franklin Kidwell, and Richard and Louise Smith; his stepfather Robert Lawson; two uncles; Eddie Kidwell and Frank Kidwell; and a nephew, Joey Dailey.

We walked outside and there was the smoke rolling in.” A portion of the train was blocking the road allowing workers at to leave their parking lot, McComas said. Instead workers were walking along the tracks to get to the other side of the train in order to leave their facility. “I’m walking home tonight,” McComas joked. A phone message left by The Associated Press with the Lynchburg Police Department wasn’t immediately returned. Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Adam Thiel was dispatched to the site to provide officials with updates on the situation. In one of her last acts before leaving office last week, outgoing National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman warned the Obama administration that it needs to take steps immediately to protect the public from potentially catastrophic oil train accidents even if it means using emergency authority. The safety board has long recommended that the Department of Transportation toughen its design standard for the kind of rail tank cars used to transport crude oil and ethanol. The cars are too easily punctured or ruptured, even in low-speed accidents. Their flammable contents are then spilled, fouling the environment and often igniting. “We are very clear that this issue needs to be acted on very quickly,” Hersman told reporters at the conclusion of a two-day forum the board held on the safety of rail transport of oil and ethanol. “There is a very high risk here that hasn’t been addressed … We don’t need a higher body count before they move forward.” Glen Besa, the executive director of the Virginia chapter of the Sierra Club, reiterated those concerns following Wednesday’s derailment.

But he’s also realizes just how far they have to go. “We got a little taste of what we wanted in making the playoffs,” the 24-year-old winger said the day after the Blue Jackets were eliminated in Game 6 of their wild first-round series with the Pittsburgh Penguins. “We just won two games. It’s a stepping stone.” For years an NHL doormat, the Blue Jackets are both inspired and also realistic after the best season in the franchise’s mostly rocky 13 seasons. “I heard on the radio the other day that Game 4 is one of the great sports moments in this city,” forward Mark Letestu said, referring to a three-goal comeback at home that was capped by a last-minute tying goal in regulation and Nick Foligno’s overtime winner. “I think there’s a lot more that we can give. We can give series victories and further cement the Blue Jackets in the hearts of people here. That’s what’s on guys minds right now.” It was a season of firsts for the Blue Jackets, who have spent much of their existence toward the bottom of the NHL standings. They set club records with 43 regular-season wins, 21 road victories, 93 points and 231 goals. They had made the playoffs just once previously and their stay lasted only four games, all losses. But one of the league’s youngest teams overcame a 5-10-0 start with a strong finish to clinch a playoff spot. www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, May 1, 2014 Karam gives up prom for chance to race Indy 500 Associated Press Sage Karam has found only one speed bump in landing a ride in the Indianapolis 500: He can’t go to the prom. Karam was set to bring girlfriend Anna de Ferran, daughter of 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran, to his Nazareth Area High School prom until his new job got in the way. The 19-year-old Karam, the reigning Indy Lights champion, struck a deal this week to drive the No. 22 Chevrolet in his Indianapolis 500 debut. Qualifying is on May 17, the same day as his prom, forcing Karam to start his engine in Indianapolis instead of renting a limo in Pennsylvania. “I’d never been to a prom before,” he said. “I was kind of looking forward to it. It’s a good excuse to miss it.” Securing a ride for the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” from Chip Ganassi isn’t a bad graduation gift. “I always said when I was younger, I wanted to race in the 500 my senior year,” Karam said. “Some kids kind of laughed at that idea. Even adults. I always stuck by it. That’s what I always was going to do. Now, it’s turned into a reality. It’s a cool feeling to be 19 and know you’re going to race in the biggest race in the world.” Karam is from Nazareth, Pa., the hometown of the Andretti family. He spent months wondering if he could parlay his feeder system championship into an IndyCar ride. He got the break he needed when he signed with Ganassi in a driver development role. Karam will race in his first Indianapolis 500 next month in a car fielded jointly by Chip Ganassi Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold Kingdom Racing. “I’ve worked my whole life to get to this point,” Karam said. “To finally sign a contract with my name on it that means I’m racing in the 500, it’s an insane feeling.” Driving for Sam Schmidt Motorsports, Karam won the Indy Lights championship, the ultimate reward for a season built on three wins, nine podiums, two poles and 163 laps led. He ditched a final year of class for online courses as he chased his openwheel dream. Karam ran the first two Tudor United Sports Car races with Ganassi’s organization. Ganassi plans to use Karam in the remaining endurance races. But there are no immediate plans for Karam to race in IndyCar after the 500. “I knew if I was given the opportunity, I had to impress,” Karam said. “It’s an awesome feeling knowing that these guys are really putting a lot of time and effort into me to groom me.” Karam, a high school wrestler, just signed a six-month lease for a place in Carmel, Ind., and plans to absorb all he can in IndyCar’s epicenter. Karam’s prom is on hold, but he does plan on walking with his class for the June 10 graduation ceremony, maybe with one more accessory to go with his mortarboard hat and gown. “Hopefully, I’ve got that Indy 500 champions ring on,” he said. ——— MCMURRAY’S MOMENT: When Jamie McMurray won at Talladega Superspeedway last October, he got to celebrate for the first time in Victory Lane with both of his children. “It was obviously really special for me to have both of them there,” McMurray recalled Wednesday. “I’ve seen pictures for years of Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth and all the guys that I’ve been friends with, had pictures with their families in victory lane, and it was just a really special day. That was a great picture, one that I’ll always cherish.” McMurray, left home alone with his 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter on Wednesday, had his hands full in trying to juggle daddy duties and discuss this Sunday’s return to one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR. He’s a two-time winner at Talladega, and one of the better restrictorplate racers in the Sprint Cup Series. McMurray also has two wins at Daytona, including the 2010 Daytona 500. The two tracks comprise four of his seven career Cup victories. McMurray isn’t sure why he excels at either. “I don’t really view Talladega or Daytona any different than any other track,” he said. “I don’t know that you go there with the mindset of winning. I always go to plate tracks with the mindset of running second and pushing somebody to the win, and if the circumstances work out that you find yourself in the lead, it’s great. I think you just have to be very openminded and willing to help more than trying to get help.” McMurray heads into Talladega ranked 19th in the Sprint Cup standings with two top-10 finishes for Chip Ganassi Racing. Cavs acting GM Griffin: ‘We’re all under review’ INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Composed and confident for someone with such a hazy future, David Griffin is going about his job as if he’ll have it forever — or at least for the next few years. Griffin, who took over as the Cavs’ interim general manager in February when Chris Grant was fired, said Tuesday he isn’t worrying about whether he’ll have the interim tag removed from his title by owner Dan Gilbert. “I’m moving forward,” he said, “because it’s what I do.” Griffin insists his only focus is on improving the disappointing Cavs, who missed the NBA playoffs for the fourth straight season. During a 25-minute news conference, Griffin adeptly handled a variety of topics including his future and that of coach Mike Brown, plus the oncourt relationship between All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. Griffin wouldn’t say if he has spoken with Gilbert, but says he isn’t fretting. “I feel very confident that ownership and myself will be moving in the same direction,” Griffin said. “But I also don’t need to hear anything from them to know that tomorrow I need to get better. So from a timing perspective it’s irrelevant to me. I don’t feel a great sense of wonder right now. I know what the mission is. He doesn’t need to tell me that. “It’s not like I come in and go, ‘Gosh, I wonder if I have the job today.’ It doesn’t work like that. So, we’re going to do what we do.” Griffin, who joined the Cavs in 2010, stressed that he, Brown and others in the organization are “under review” after the Cavs finished 33-49 and ninth in the top-heavy Eastern Conference, five games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot. Gilbert has not publicly commented on the futures of Griffin or Brown, who is in his second goaround with Cleveland after being fired following the 2010 season. Following the home finale last week, Brown said he would respect whatever decision Gilbert made. “I wouldn’t be sitting in this seat without him,” Brown said. “It’s his team and whatever decision he makes with anything I’m going to support.” If he stays, Griffin would like to transition the Cavs from “asset-accumulation mode” into “targetedacquisition mode.” The team will have $26 million in salary-cap space this offseason. Cleveland also will have a decision to make on whether to offer Irving a maximum contract extension. “I’m not going to campaign. I’m not running for mayor,” Griffin said. “I understand what we need to do to get better.

Really, he had no choice or there could be devastating consequences. “A heart surgery will make you kind of realize you need to start doing things right, especially diet wise,” Bryant said. “I’ve really cleaned things up a little bit. So far, so good.” Bryant’s comeback from a major health scare continued Wednesday when the Browns’ defensive lineman returned practiced for the first time since having a procedure in December to fix an irregular heartbeat — a condition he has had for years — that led to him having his first season with Cleveland cut short. On Dec. 6, Bryant underwent a cardiac ablation, an operation that involves a catheter being inserted to destroy a small area of bad heart tissue. The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder had at least two episodes last season when his heart raced out of control, including once dur- ing an Oct. 3 game against Buffalo. Bryant was hospitalized overnight and the 29-yearold had a recurrence two months later following a home loss to Jacksonville. It was then that Bryant, who was forced to leave a 2012 game for Oakland with a fast heart rate and lightheadedness, was advised to undergo the ablation. “I felt like after I experienced what I did on the field that it was finally time to do something to fix that,” Bryant said. “So while it was a trying time, I was also excited to get this procedure done and put this behind me. Since then, I’ve been training and feeling real well. “I’m back. I’m healthy.” Bryant missed the first minicamp practice on Tuesday for personal reasons, but joined his teammates for their second workout, which was held inside again because of rain and wet grounds. Bryant was welcomed back by everyone, including linebacker Quentin Groves, who also had a heart ablation in 2008. Groves’ condition was first diagnosed when he was in college but he didn’t decide to have the procedure until it was spotted again at the NFL combine. “It’s kind of scary not knowing what it is,” Groves said. “The way it was explained to me when I had my procedure, the doctor told me one day you could not wake up. I was like, ‘Well, OK, if I was your son, what would you do?’ He said, ‘I would have the At Pleasant Valley Hospital Extended Care in Mason, we understand that minor illnesses don’t always happen at the most convenient times.

I have to rock him to sleep at night. No, I’m just kidding,” Groves said. “I just told him, ‘It’s a fairly simple procedure. I recommend you get it done. I’m proud that you got it done before it became a problem for you.’” Bryant wasn’t anxious about the operation. He was most fearful during the episodes when his heart raced. “I would feel like I had a fast heart rate and the next thing I know I was going to the hospital,” he said. “That was the only real scary thing.” Bryant was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions in 2013 by the Browns, who signed him to a five-year, $34 million free agent contract. Bryant had an immediate impact, recording two sacks and a career-high 10 tackles in the opener against Miami. He was Cleveland’s best defensive lineman through four games, but his production fell off sharply following his hospitalization. He finished with 3½ sacks in 12 games. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
