Pomeroy Village schedules trash pickup POMEROY — Pomeroy has scheduled its annual spring pickup of trash for May 28. Residents are asked to have their trash set out no later than 4 p.m. May 27 for the next-day pick-up. Paul Helman, Pomeroy village administer, suggests that residents put it out even earlier in the day since that would give friends and neighbors a chance to rescue some items they might feel would be useful. He stressed that the village pickup is not for “your normal trash that is collected every week,” but for those things that can’t be taken away in your regular pick ups —such as mattresses, box springs, dressers or other furniture. However, there are exceptions to what items will be picked up — no tires, television sets, old computers or monitors, paint cans batteries. Small items for pick-up are asked to be set out in a box, not scattered or in a plastic bag. The village vehicle will be out by 8 a.m. May 28 and Helman said that if the workers go by your house and see nothing out, you have just lost the opportunity for a pick-up because there will not be another pass. He emphasized that there will be no call backs, no second chance this year for a village pickup. Open house to celebrate National Goodwill Week Staff Report Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker signs the “Stamp Out Hunger” proclamation as mail carrier Jim Pullins, chairman, and Dot E. Norman, Pomeroy postmaster, look on. Postal workers help to ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — “Fill a bag, feed families” is the theme of the annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food collection drive that Pomeroy mail carriers stage every year. They will collect food items Saturday to be donated to the Meigs Cooperative Parish, which handles the distribution to families in the county who are experiencing a shortage of money with which to buy food. This year is the 22nd anniversary of the national one-day drive to collect food to alleviate hunger. Last year, Pomeroy mail carriers collected 1,731 pounds of food. Residents are asked to contribute non-perishable food items such as peanut butter, canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal, spaghetti and rice to the food drive. However, donations are not to include anything in glass containers. The mail carriers are asking residents to place their sack of food contributions near the mailbox for pickup by the carriers around the time they usually deliver the mail. For those who miss the Saturday pickup, bags of food can be delivered to the post office. Last week, Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker signed a proclamation designating May 10, as the mail carriers day for collecting food for families in need. He encourages Meigs County residents to support the program that has as its goal to “Stamp out Hunger.” MIDDLEPORT — It’s National Goodwill Week, and the store located at 785 N.

Tea Party meeting to feature speaker on education By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Dr. Kelly Kohls, president of the Ohio School Boards Leadership Council, will be the speaker at the Meigs Tea Party 9-12 Project meeting at 7:30 p.m. May 13 at the Meigs Senior Citizens Center on Memorial Drive in Pomeroy. The OSBLC is an organization focused on coaching citizens and school board members on education issues. Kohls is chairman of the Warren County Tea Party, and a mother of five children both in, and who have graduated from, public schools. She has also taught in public universities for 10 years followed by 15 years in private practice. She says she believes that parents have to get more involved in education and need to take responsibility for their educational needs, that public education can be the answer for some but that parents need and should take advantage of options and opportunities in education. School choice, she says, is the obvious option where parents make informed decisions on the education for their child. The public with an interest in education issues is invited to attend the meeting. Snacks and beverages will be served. �Page 2 The Daily Sentinel Correction RACINE — In the obituary of Larry “Little Fooze” Wolfe, the names of his sister-in-law Marilyn Wolfe and step-grandson Blake Shain were omitted.

Traffic fatalities deadly side effect to fracking boom CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — Booming production of oil and natural gas Holzer is proud to announce that Scott Mitchell, MD, CMD, Board Certified Palliative Care Physician, has joined our team of highly skilled professionals. has exacted a little-known price on some of the nation’s roads, contributing to a spike in traffic fatalities in states where many streets and highways are choked with large trucks and heavy drilling equipment. An Associated Press analysis of traffic deaths and U.S. census data in six drilling states shows that in some places, fatalities have more than quadrupled since 2004 — a pe- riod when most American roads have become much safer even as the population has grown. “We are just so swamped,” said Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva of Karnes County, Texas, where authorities have been overwhelmed by the surge in serious accidents. The industry acknowledges the problem, and traffic agencies and oil companies say they are taking steps to improve safety.

Periodical postage paid in Pomeroy, Ohio Dr. Mitchell will be providing palliative care for our communities, working closely with our Hospice and Cancer programs throughout the Holzer system. But no one imagines that the risks will be eliminated quickly or easily. “I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon,” Villanueva said. The energy boom, fueled largely by new drilling technology, has created badly needed jobs, lifted local economies and drawn global manufacturers back to the United States. But the traffic accidents have devastated families: two young boys crushed to death last year by a tanker truck in West Virginia; a Pennsylvania father killed by another tanker in 2011; a 19-year old Texas man fatally injured in 2012 after colliding with a drilling truck on his way to work. A month later, on the same road, three retired teachers died in another collision with a truck. Not all of the crashes involved trucks from drilling projects, and the accidents have been blamed on both ordinary motorists and heavy equipment drivers. But the frenzy of drilling activity contributes heavily to the flood of traffic of all kinds that has overwhelmed many communities. Deadly crashes are “recognized as one of the key risk areas of the business,” said Marvin Odum, who runs Royal Dutch Shell’s exploration operations in the Americas.

(AP) — An expedition to bring back the remaining gold from a steamship that sank in 1857 off South Carolina in one of the nation’s worst maritime disasters has recovered almost 1,000 ounces of gold - the first gold recovered from the wreck in almost a quarter century. The S.S. Central America was bringing gold back from the California when it sank in a hurricane claiming 425 lives. In addition, thousands of pounds of gold went to the bottom aboard the 280-foot, sidewheel steamship. About $50 million was recovered during expedi- tions to the wreck in the late 1980s and early 1990s before legal disputes shut down the operation. Odyssey Marine Exploration of Tampa, Florida, announced Monday that almost 1,000 ounces of the gold was recovered during a reconnaissance dive last month. The newly recovered gold includes five gold bars and two $20 Double Eagle gold coins. One of the coins was minted in San Francisco the year that the Central America sank. The gold bars weigh between 106 and 344 ounces. “While we weren’t planning to recover gold so quickly, it did confirm that the site has not been disturbed since it was last visited in 1991 and there is gold remaining,” said Mark Gordon, Odyssey’s president and chief operating officer. An expedition that left North Charleston in April is expected to be on the site about 160 miles off the coast until late summer. Gordon said that in recent weeks the crew of 41 aboard the Odyssey Explorer has been conducting an extensive survey of the site and the recovery of more gold will begin once that is completed. It is not clear how much gold might remain. The ship was carrying gold “While we weren’t planning to recover gold so quickly, it did confirm that the site has not been disturbed since it was last visited in 1991 and there is gold remaining.” — Mark Gordon Odyssey’s president and chief operating officer bars shipped by banks and commercial interests. Passengers were thought to be carrying a lot of gold of their own in the form of coins — perhaps an amount equaling the commercial shipment. The initial expeditions 25 years ago were halted because of legal disputes. One of them involved investors from Ohio who staked out the money for shipwreck enthusiast Tommy Thompson, an Ohio native, who led the 1988 expedition that recovered the initial cache of gold. The investors claimed they had fronted Thompson almost $13 million but never saw any return. Thompson has been a fugitive for almost two years after failing to show up for a court hearing. A deal approved by an Ohio judge in March cleared the way for the new expedition. The receiver for Thompson’s companies will get more than half of anything that is recovered, to be disbursed in part to the investors who backed the initial expedition. Mooney outspends GOP field in second district race By Jonathan Mattise Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Republican candidate Alex Mooney has outspent a crowded primary election field vying for West Virginia’s lone open congressional seat. Mooney, a former state GOP chairman in Maryland, shelled out about $414,400 through April 23 for his primary bid in West Virginia’s second congressional district. Seven Republicans and two Democrats are competing for the seat currently filled by U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican vacating her post to run for U.S. Senate. Berkeley Springs pharma- cist Ken Reed, the next highest GOP spender, reported almost $288,000 in costs before the May 13 primary. Charlotte Lane, a former commissioner of the U.S. International Trade Commission and the state Public Service Commission, wasn’t far behind after spending about $256,700. Mooney largely relied on outof-state checks, with only about $12,700 of his individual donations coming from West Virginia. States like Maryland and Virginia donated heavily to the Eastern Panhandle resident. The Democratic primary in District 2 has been less competitive. Former state Democratic Party chairman Nick Casey is considered the favorite over state Delegate Meshea Poore, who only raised about $50,500. If Casey wins the primary, he will have about $630,000 in the bank to take on the GOP primary winner in November. His cash includes a $200,000 loan. Reed, who leaned on a $525,000 loan, has the most cash on hand on the Republican side with $275,000. The 2nd district stretches more than 300 miles from the Ohio River on the state’s western border to the fast-growing Eastern Panhandle. More attention, however, is on West Virginia’s third congressional district, where 19th-term Democratic incumbent Nick Rahall will likely face GOP state senator Evan Jenkins. Rahall has spent almost $563,000 and still has $942,000 in his account for the November matchup. Rahall faces little opposition from his primary opponent, Richard Ojeda, who has spent about $7,300 and has a negative cash balance of $4,200. Jenkins, who is unopposed in the primary, has spent more than $173,000 and maintains $439,000 in cash. Outside groups, meanwhile, have vastly outspent the candidates by buying TV ads in the race. The conservative nonprofit Americans for Prosperity has spent about $750,000, while the liberal House Majority PAC has bought about $625,000 in ads, representatives of the organizations said. In West Virginia’s highest profile race, Capito has maintained a steep money edge over her likely Democratic competition for the U.S. Senate, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant. With $4.3 million on hand, Capito has almost four times more campaign cash than Tennant. Both candidates are expected to win their primaries easily. In the 1st congressional district, U.S. Rep. David McKinley has nearly $1 million in the bank to defend his seat against Glen Gainer, the Democratic state auditor. Gainer has about $156,000 in cash. Neither candidate faces primary competition. Traffic From Page 2 goes up, whether because of an improving economy, a new shopping mall or more people moving into the area. Still, the number of traffic fatalities in some regions has climbed far faster than the population or the number of miles driven. In North Dakota drilling counties, the population has soared 43 percent over the last decade, while traffic fatalities increased 350 percent. Roads in those counties were nearly twice as deadly per mile driven than the rest of the state. In one Texas drilling district, drivers were 2.5 times more likely to die in a fatal crash per mile driven compared with the statewide average. This boom is different from those of the past because of the hydraulicfracturing process, which extracts oil and gas by injecting high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals. It requires 2,300 to 4,000 truck trips per well to deliver those fluids. Older drilling techniques needed one-third to one-half as many trips. Another factor is the speed of development. Drilling activity often ramps up too fast for communities to build better roads, install more traffic signals or hire extra police officers to help direct the flow of cars and trucks. Last year, a truck carrying drilling water in Clarksburg, W.Va., overturned onto a car carrying a mother and her two boys. Both children, 7-year-old Nicholas Mazzei-Saum and 8-year-old Alexander, were killed. “We buried them in the same casket,” recalled their father, William Saum. He said his wife, Lucretia Mazzei, has been hospitalized four times over the last year for depression. Traffic fatalities in West Virginia’s most heavily drilled counties, including where the Mazzei-Saum boys were killed, rose 42 percent in 2013. Traffic deaths in the rest of the state declined 8 percent. The average rate of deaths per 100,000 people — a key mortality measurement that accounts for population growth — in North Dakota drilling areas climbed 148 percent on average from 2009 to 2013, compared with the average of the previous five years, the AP found. In the rest of the state, deaths per 100,000 people fell 1 percent over the same period. Traffic fatalities in Penn- sylvania drilling counties rose 4 percent over that time frame, while in the rest of the state they fell 19 percent. New Mexico’s traffic fatalities fell 29 percent, except in drilling counties, where they only fell 5 percent. In 21 Texas counties where drilling has recently expanded, deaths per 100,000 people are up an average of 18 percent. Across the rest of Texas, they are down by 20 percent. For Villanueva, that means his county now has accidents serious enough to require air transport of victims three or four times each week, compared with only a few times a month before drilling operations took off. In two Texas drilling regions, an average of 100 more people were killed in vehicle accidents in each of the last two years compared with before the boom. When oil and gas are found, changes come fast. Drillers scramble to acquire leases and get the oil and gas flowing as soon as possible. Local service companies quickly marshal trucks and drivers to earn as much new business as they can while the boom lasts. Counties and regions going through drilling booms simply cannot keep up. A weigh station stands on U.S. Route 2 in Williston, North Dakota, the heart of drilling country, but traffic on the highway gets backed up if the station stays open for 15 minutes, said Alan Dybing, a research fellow at North Dakota State University’s transportation institute. So it soon has to close, letting streams of unchecked trucks pass through. Some experts say regulatory loopholes make things even worse. Federal rules limit the amount of time most truckers can stay on the road, but the rules are less stringent for drivers in the oil and gas industry. “These exemptions make Swiss cheese out of safety regulations,” said Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. Every truck accident “is a tragedy and deserves serious attention,” said Steve Everley of the industry group Energy in Depth. He said oil and gas drillers and their suppliers have been working to reduce traffic and accidents by adopting safety programs, recycling more drilling water and building more pipelines to transport water. Vehicle crashes are the single biggest cause of fa- AP Photo William Saum stands near his front porch in Clarksburg, W. Va. In March 2013, a truck carrying drilling water overturned onto a car carrying his wife and two young sons. Both children, 7-year-old Nicholas Mazzei-Saum and 8-year-old Alexander, were killed. An analysis of traffic fatalities in the busiest new oil and gas-producing counties in the U.S. shows a sharp rise in deaths that experts say is related to the drilling boom. talities to oil and gas workers, according to a study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Truck drivers aren’t the only ones getting blamed. In many cases, accident investigators found that motorists got impatient while following big trucks and took risks that led to accidents, such as passing on hills or curves, according to Robert Barnes, safety director for Pennsylvania’s Bradford County. Some states are working to reverse the trend, and there’s at least one drilling region that appears to be getting safer. In North Dakota, turning and climbing lanes are being added to give drivers a safe way to pass, and officials are planning to widen a stretch of U.S. Route 85. The Pennsylvania and Texas transportation departments have launched safe-driving campaigns. Colorado’s Weld County, which lodged a record number of drilling permits last year but saw traffic fatalities fall to 30 from 39, to its lowest level in 10 years. Capt. Rocco Domenico of the Colorado State Patrol says the county has been the focus of a long-term safety campaign, and drilling there isn’t as concentrated or as intense as it is in other states. On the day his sons were killed, William Saum’s wife had taken the boys to the YMCA to register for swimming and karate class- es. The truck didn’t stop at the stop sign, tried to make a turn and flipped onto the family car. Police issued two traffic tickets but filed no criminal charges. Saum and his wife waited until she was 40 to have children. Now she’s 49, he said, and “it’s not like we can have any more.” Asked what he thinks of the drilling boom, he paused. “I guess,” Saum said, “it’s good for the people who are making the money.” Lt.

Scientists are researching possible magic formulas for parents and other caregivers to provide children the best start in life, and the finer points of their findings are nothing short of fascinating. In a study “‘Helping’ Versus ‘Being a Helper’: Invoking the Self to Increase Helping in Young Children,” appearing this month in the journal Child Development, researchers describe how differently children can behave when they internalize their intentions. In experiments with middle- to upper-middleclass 3- to 6-year-olds from a variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds, a researcher tested whether kids responded to prompts asking them to pick up a mess, open a container, put away toys or retrieve crayons that had spilled on the floor. The researcher said to the children either that “Some children choose to help” or that “Some children choose to be helpers.” The results showed that kids who heard “helper” pitched in significantly more than children who heard “help.” And when the experimenter talked to youngsters about “helping” — a version of the word that does not refer back to the child — the kids didn’t offer any more assistance than when the experimenter never brought up helping at all. “These findings suggest that parents and teachers can encourage young children to be more helpful by using nouns like ‘helper’ instead of verbs like ‘helping’ when making a request of a child,” says Christopher J. Bryan, assistant professor of psychology at the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study. “Using the noun ‘helper’ may send a signal that helping implies something positive about one’s identity, which may in turn motivate children to help more.” Can just this little adjustment make a significant impact on how those around us see themselves? It seems possible — and not just for children. Next time you need to persuade someone to join your working group, committee or board, remember to appeal to their sense of self instead of their mental scorecard of responsibility. No one knows where the sense of self comes from — it’s obviously not as simple as picking it up from home, or all children would be carbon copies of their parents. The smartest minds in the study of intelligence and adaptability are deferring to some combination of nurture and nature, instead of leaning more heavily toward one or the other. Yet, the importance of the nurture part of the equation cannot be overstated. In study after study, researchers have found that people who are conditioned to keep a specific goal in mind throughout their lives are likelier to get closer to reaching it than those who never have such a goal presented as a viable option. Those running cuttingedge programs to push stu- dents who would be the first in their family to attend college find that they fare best when they get to the parents early in a student’s life. Presenting the specific goal of higher education to parents, in addition to ongoing resources and encouragement, makes college a real possibility — if not an expectation — for their children. The opposite is also true. Kids who do not clearly envision a future for themselves can falter. Alex Piquero, a professor of criminology at the University of Texas at Dallas, asked serious youth offenders “How long do you think you’ll live?” and then tracked their brushes with the law over the next seven years. He found that those who predicted they’d die young offended at very high rates and committed more serious offenses than those who believed they would live a long life. “In a lot of distressed communities and for a lot of offenders, they don’t see a future,” Piquero said. “They think, ‘Why do I have to go to school? I’m not going to make it past 21.’ And in many of our interviews with these kids, they basically said, ‘I’m not going to make it until next week, so why would I even care?’” Self-fulfilling prophecies are the interplay between belief and behavior. As parents, mentors, educators and role models, we must understand the many opportunities we get to shape kids’ perceptions of both themselves and their possibilities in life. How we articulate their potential and help them define their best selves is a responsibility that holds great power. By Kathleen Parker This is the time when Americans renew their hatred of Washington and Washington wallows in a bittersweet cocktail of self-love and self-loathing. Which is to say, this is White House Correspondents’ Association weekend, with the dinner Saturday night amid a galaxy of pre- and after-parties. Attendant to these events is the also annual handwringing about the dinner’s value. Those questioning, of course, are the media, who create the problem, then examine the problem, then suggest ways to solve the problem (that we don’t really believe is a problem) and then go on to repeat the problem. The rest of the world couldn’t care less about the dinner except perhaps to note that Washington is out of touch with regular Americans and that journalists are too schmoozy with officialdom. Most journalists would agree, but who would want to miss the scholarship awards? Oh, you didn’t know about those? What we all hate most is the attendance of so many celebrities, who undermine the noble purpose of this convocation. Moreover, they tend to make journalists, who have spent considerable time looking their red-carpet best, feel like last week’s tulips. Hence, the popular description of Washington as “Hollywood for Ugly People,” and the dinner as the “Nerd Prom.” Not that anyone in the media really feels this way, but it makes everyone feel better to say so, especially in light of the seething wall of protesters gathered each year outside the Washington Hilton. The buzz-killer crowd, however, is quickly forgotten once inside, where an avenue of cameras and lights awaits stars passing along the red carpet. Note to future newbies: Your entrance is upstairs. Otherwise, you risk a probable humiliation that the lights will suddenly go dark and your grand entrance becomes a soulkilling walk of shame past a gantlet of fisheyed fans of other people. This experience can be helpful, on the other hand, as you summon the requisite pose of perpetual self-awareness. Your thinking should follow this vein: It’s not that you want to go to the dinner. It’s your job to go. Whither goes the president, so go the media. And of course, the media did invite him, as well as all those celeb- rities we find so disruptive. There’s a circularity to all of this that suggests an apt metaphor. Another handy prompt to self-awareness is being gridlocked among 2,800 overheated people in long gowns and tuxedos as one tries to funnel one’s way toward the escalator to the pre-party area. Standing shoulder to shoulder with cabinet members and screen stars reminds us that no matter one’s station in life, we all perspire the same. Almost no one present will fail to note his or her ambiguity toward the dinner and the parties that most are dying to attend. There are exceptions to this clubthink, notably The New York Times and Tom Brokaw. The Times stopped sending its staffers several years ago, saying the media shouldn’t be partying with people it covers. Brokaw made headlines when he protested the celebrity-driven nature of the evening, specifically following Lindsay Lohan’s overshadowing presence the year before last. He lamented that the purpose of the evening — to allow journalists and politicians to mingle in a lighthearted, relaxed environment — had been hijacked. He was right about the Lohan spectacle. I was standing nearby visiting with Lohan’s hostess, Greta Van Susteren, when none other than Rick Santorum brought his daughters for a snapshot with the starlet. Brokaw is also right about the superficiality and misplaced emphasis of the evening. For this reason, many of us, including Van Susteren, swear we’ll never go again. But since most of us do attend again, I hoped Brokaw might relent and asked him to be my date this year. With his usual blunt charm, he described in delicious detail why he would never again darken the door of the correspondents’ dinner. Feeling shallow and contrite before such superior standards, I feebly offered that I agreed completely, but, you see, I had this dress. “Well,” he said, “If you’d let me wear the dress, I might reconsider.” Oh, how I loathe myself, my lack of will, my willingness to laugh at great jokes, greet friends and eat free food — the real lure for journalists who remember when they were always hungry. Thus, as you are my witness, I vow never again. At least until next time — or Brokaw wears a dress. The Hillary Clinton difference may work by E.J. Dionne There are two majorities in the country right now. One disapproves of President Obama. The other is still inclined to vote Demo- cratic. The key question for the 2014 elections is whether voting this fall — and Obama’s approval ratings — can come into line with the electorate’s broader Democratic leanings?

There is also this: Obama’s difficulties do not appear to be hurting Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the presidency in 2016. These are the findings just below the surface of the latest Washington Post/ ABC News poll released last week. Obama’s approval rating in the survey was just 41 percent, both with the general public and among registered voters. But in a hypothetical matchup with Jeb Bush for the 2016 presidential race, Clinton was favored by 53 percent of registered voters, Bush by 41 percent. The roughly one-eighth of voters who disapprove of Obama but nonetheless support Clinton for 2016 may be the most important group in the electorate. If Democratic candidates can collectively manage to corral Clinton’s share of the national electorate this fall, the party would likely keep control of the Senate and might take over the House of Representatives. The latter outcome is now seen (even by most Democrats) as a virtual impossibility. These Hillary Difference Voters, as we’ll call them, could find themselves the most courted contingent in this year’s contests. Who are they? A com- parison of those who back Clinton but disapprove of Obama with the group that is both pro-Clinton and pro-Obama suggests that the swing constituency is much more likely to be blue-collar and white — 71 percent of the mixed group are white, compared with only 57 percent of the pro-Obama, pro-Clinton group, and it is also somewhat more Latino. Whites without college degrees constitute 47 percent of the Hillary Difference Voters but only 30 percent of the pro-Clinton, proObama group. In keeping with this, 62 percent of the Hillary Difference Voters have incomes of less than $50,000 annually. Ideologically, the swing group includes significantly fewer self-described liberals. Among the Hillary Difference Voters, only 29 percent call themselves liberal; among those who both favor Clinton and approve of Obama, 43 percent are liberals. Nearly a third of the mixed group are white evangelical Protestants, compared with only 10 percent of those who react positively to both Democrats. Clinton also runs ahead of Obama’s approval rating among voters aged 30 to 49, among white Southerners, and among independents, including those who say they lean Republican. Interestingly, while the swing group is 63 percent female — yes, Clinton does have particular appeal to women — this is not hugely different from the pro-Clinton, proObama group, 59 percent of whom are female. Both numbers show how important women have become to the Democratic coalition. As for the fall elections, the poll found that overall, 45 percent said they would vote for the Democratic candidate in their congressional district, while 44 percent said they would vote for the Republican. Not surprisingly, Democrats win the pro-Obama, pro-Clinton group overwhelmingly, 86 percent to 7 percent. But the Hillary Difference Voters split only 56 percent Democratic, with 26 percent choosing the Republican, and most of the rest still undecided. Again, this is the group in which Democratic support has room to grow. The findings call into question easy comparisons of Clinton’s establishment standing with the populist appeal of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat whose new book “A Fighting Chance” is becoming a bible for the party’s economic liberals. While Hillary Clinton, like her husband, can reach moderate voters — thus her popularity among nonliberals — the contours of the Hillary Difference constituency are decidedly populist. The voters Obama and the Democrats need to re-engage are a less affluent, non-elite group for whom the economy is the central concern. In their different ways, both Clinton and Warren may end up pointing the party and the president in the same direction. This is why Friday’s very encouraging jobs report was about the best sort of news Obama could get. It’s also why he has been spending a lot of time talking about the minimum wage — and why Bill Clinton gave a stemwinder last week touting his own economic record as president. The swing voters this year are motivated by economic discontent. They don’t trust the Republicans but aren’t happy with the Democrats. Hillary Clinton has many of them. Obama needs them to come back his way. �Tuesday, May 6, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituary Page 5 Death Notices CAROLYN SUE COWDERY REEDSVILLE — Carolyn Sue Cowdery, 69, of Reedsville, passed away Monday, May 5, 2014, at Arcadia Nursing Center in Coolville.

UN: Spread of polio now a world health emergency LONDON (AP) — For the first time ever, the World Health Organization on Monday declared the spread of polio an international public health emergency that could grow in the next few months and unravel the nearly threedecade effort to eradicate the crippling disease. The agency described current polio outbreaks across at least 10 countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an “extraordinary event” that required a coordinated international response. It identified Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon as having allowed the virus to spread beyond their borders, and recommended that those three governments require citizens to obtain a certificate proving they have been vaccinated for polio before traveling abroad. “Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, who leads WHO’s polio efforts, said during a press briefing. Critics, however, questioned whether Monday’s announcement would make much of a difference, given the limits faced by governments confronting not only polio but armed insurrection and widespread poverty. “What happens when you continue whipping a horse to go ever faster, no matter how rapidly he is already running?” said Dr. Donald A. Henderson, who led the WHO’s initiative to get rid of smallpox, the only human disease ever to have been eradicated. The WHO has never before issued an international alert on polio, a disease that usually strikes children under 5 and is most often spread through infected water. There is no specific cure, but several vaccines exist. Experts are particularly concerned that polio is reemerging in countries previously free of the disease, such as Syria, Somalia and Iraq, where civil war or unrest now complicates efforts to contain the virus. It is happening during the traditionally low season for the spread of polio, leaving experts worried that cases could spike as the weather becomes warmer and wetter in the coming months across the northern hemisphere. The vast majority of new cases are in Pakistan, a country which an independent monitoring board set up by the WHO has called “a powder keg that could ignite widespread polio transmission.” Dozens of polio workers have been killed over the last two years in Pakistan, where U.S. forces located Osama bin Laden using information gained in part under the guise of polio vaccinations. A Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, is currently jailed for his role in the CIA operation that uncovered the al-Qaida leader’s hideout. Afridi was involved in a vaccination ruse that led to bin Laden’s death and eroded trust in polio programs among many Pakistanis. At the end of April, there were 68 confirmed polio cases, compared with just 24 at the same time last year. In 2013, polio reappeared in Syria, sparking fears the civil war there could ignite a wider outbreak as refugees flee to other countries across the region. The virus has also been identified in the sewage system in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, although no cases have been spotted. In February, the WHO found that polio had also returned to Iraq, where it spread from neighboring Syria. It is also circulating in Afghanistan (where it spread from Pakistan) and Equatorial Guinea (from neighboring Cameroon) as well as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. Officials also worry countries torn by conflict, such as Ukraine, Sudan and the Central African Republic, are rife for polio reinfection. Some critics say it may even be time to accept that polio may not be eradicated, since the deadline to wipe out the disease has already been missed several times. The ongoing effort costs about $1 billion a year. “For the past two years, problems have steadily, and now rapidly mounted,” Henderson said in an email. “It is becoming apparent that there are too many problems (for the polio eradication effort) to overcome, however many resources are assigned.” Henderson and others have suggested the extraordinary efforts needed for polio eradication might be better spent on other health programs, including routine vaccination programs for childhood diseases. But he conceded that transitioning to a control program would be difficult. “If not eradication, how does one accomplish a ‘soft landing’ which could sustain the global program on immunization?” Henderson said. Aylward said the WHO and its partners, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aren’t yet considering pushing back their latest deadline to eradicate polio by 2018. CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said the reemergence and spread of polio out of Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria pose “a serious threat to our ability to eradicate polio.” “Conflicts in many areas where polio is circulating are hampering efforts to vaccinate but success remains within reach,” Frieden said. Still, the independent board monitoring the progress being made on polio has called for overhauling the program. “Few involved in (polio eradication) can give a clear account of how decisions are made,” concluded a recent report by the group. “If a billion-dollar global business missed its major goal several times, it would be inconceivable that it would not revisit and revise its organizational and decision-making structure.” CLAGG GALLIPOLIS — Robert E. “Bob” Clagg, 74, of Gallipolis, died Friday, May 2, 2014, at Holzer Medical Center.

(AP) — Investigators were looking at a snapped clamp on Monday as they try to figure out why eight circus acrobats plummeted to the ground during an aerial hair-hanging stunt, although the company that owns the circus cautioned it’s too early in the investigation to blame the accident on the clamp. “We have identified a clamp that snapped that held them to the rafters, and it failed,” Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare told WPRO-AM a day after a support frame collapsed during the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus. “It snapped off. We have it, we’re analyzing it, we’re seeing why it happened to ensure it doesn’t happen in the future. That’s all part of our focus.” Two of the acrobats remained in critical condition Monday. Public safety officials had said several performers on the ground also were injured in the accident Sunday, although Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros., said Monday that only one person on the ground was injured. None of the injuries appear to be lifethreatening, he said. SHANK CHESAPEAKE, Ohio — Geneva L.

AP Photo An injured female performer is lifted onto a stretcher after a platform collapsed Sunday during an aerial hair-hanging stunt at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in Providence, R.I. At least nine performers were seriously injured in the fall, including a dancer below, while an unknown number of others suffered minor injuries. Video taken by audience members shows a curtain dropping to reveal several performers hanging from an apparatus suspended from above. Seconds later, as they begin to perform, the women fall, and the metal apparatus lands on them. “The long-term prognosis is yet to be determined. From what we’ve learned so far, the recovery will vary,” Payne said. “We are hopeful that all of these performers will achieve a full recovery and be able to return to the show at some point.” TUESDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Global 3000 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 TUESDAY, MAY 6 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Lady Chiefs sweep River Valley By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com 76ers guard Carter-Williams wins Rookie of Year PHILADELPHIA (AP) — 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams has won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year Award. Carter-Williams was only the third player since 1950-51 to lead all rookies in scoring (16.7), rebounding (6.3) and assists (6.2), joining Oscar Robertson (1960-61) and Alvan Adams (1975-76). The league said Monday that he received 104 of a possible 124 first-place votes. The Orlando Magic’s Victor Oladipo finished second and Trey Burke of the Utah Jazz was third. Allen Iverson is the only other player in Sixers history to win the award. The 11th overall pick in last year’s draft, CarterWilliams is the first player picked 10th or lower to win since Mark Jackson did it in 1987 for New York. Philadelphia finished 19-63. LeBron: Durant deserves to win NBA MVP award MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James of the Miami Heat says Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant would be a deserving winner of the NBA MVP award. It’s expected that Durant will be announced as this season’s MVP later this week. James has lauded Durant’s play this season several times in recent weeks, doing so again on Monday. James says: “Much respect to him and he deserves it. He had a big-time MVP season.” James is a four-time winner of the league’s MVP award, taking the honor in each of the previous two seasons. Bowyer signs extension with Michael Waltrip Racing CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Clint Bowyer is heading home to Kansas Speedway this weekend with a new wife, a baby on the way and now a three-year contract extension that will keep him with Michael Waltrip Racing. The team announced the deal Monday, a day after Bowyer drove his No. 15 Toyota to a third-place finish at Talladega. Michael Waltrip Racing also announced an extension for crew chief Brian Pattie and said that 5-Hour Energy has agreed to extend its sponsorship. Bowyer, who grew up in Emporia, Kansas, returns to the Heartland riding high. He married his bride, Lorra, in the Bahamas two weeks ago, during the off week in the Sprint Cup schedule. And on Monday he announced on Twitter they are expecting a boy. Jaguars would be surprised to have Blackmon in ‘14 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell says it would be “relatively surprising” to have receiver Justin Blackmon on the field next season. Blackmon is suspended indefinitely without pay for repeated violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. He was previously suspended the first four games of last year for violating the policy. He played four games before getting suspended again — at least for a year. But the Jaguars aren’t counting on Blackmon to return after eight games in 2014. Asked Friday whether he expects Blackmon back, Caldwell says: “It’s not something that we’re counting on. It would be something that would be relatively surprising. Haven’t gotten a whole lot of updates from the league where he’s at or from Justin, to be honest with you.” Chocky suffered the loss after allowing eight earned runs and two walks over two frames while fanning two. Fetty led the Lady Knights with two hits, followed by Hesson, Higginbotham, Barker, Cottrill and Rebekah Darst with a safety apiece. Fetty and Cottrill each drove in two runs, while Barker scored a team-best two runs in the finale. Point Pleasant — which has now won two straight and 10 of 11 overall — begins Class AAA tournament play at 6 p.m. Tuesday night when it takes on host Winfield.

The Braves won, 5-4. Reds’ Bruce has surgery on knee cartilage CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds right fielder Jay Bruce had surgery Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and will be sidelined for about a month. Bruce was scratched from the starting lineup Sunday because of a sore knee but pinch hit and struck out during a 4-3, 10-inning win over Milwaukee. He had tests Sunday night that detected the tear. The Reds have been hit hard by injuries since spring training. They’re currently missing starters Mat Latos and Tony Cingrani, catcher Devin Mesoraco, closer Aroldis Chapman and now their cleanup hitter. Also, centerfielder Billy Hamilton missed the last three games with a sprained left hand, hurt while he made a diving catch. He’s expected back for a series that starts Tuesday in Boston. Bruce has been in a slump, going 3 for 17 in the last six games. He’s batting .216 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 30 games. Cincinnati opened the season with eight players on the disabled list, the most in the majors. The Reds have started to get many of them back, only to have others get hurt. The Reds took three of four from first-place Milwaukee over the weekend, leaving them 5½ games out in the NL Central. Jonathan Broxton returned from the disabled list in mid-April, completing his comeback from forearm surgery, and taking over as closer. Utility player Skip Schumaker dislocated his left shoulder during spring training but returned over the weekend. Chapman got hit in the forehead by a line drive on March 19 and had surgery to install a plate above his eye. He’s on an injury rehabilitation assignment in the minors and is expected back later this week. Latos had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee on Feb. 14 and later developed a sore forearm, leaving his return indefinite. Cingrani went on the disabled list last week with a sore shoulder. Mesoraco pulled a muscle in his side and opened the season on the disabled list. He was activated the second week of the season and was Cincinnati’s top hitter when he pulled his left hamstring and went back on the disabled list. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Before his workload and the scrutiny become heavier next week, California Chrome will enjoy a few light days. The Kentucky Derby champion looked fresh following his 1¾-length victory at Churchill Downs on Saturday and seemed to be handling the ensuing fame quite well. After a Sunday morning walk and bath, the chestnut colt stood tall and proud like a runway model, making sure photographers got plenty of pictures. With attention likely to increase as California Chrome heads to Pimlico for the Preakness on May 17, trainer Art Sherman wants his horse as relaxed as possible before returning to work. The horse will rest this week at Churchill Downs before flying to Baltimore next Monday to prepare for the Triple Crown’s next jewel. For Sherman, 77, it means adjusting his training routine from several weeks between starts to just a few with the Preakness followed by the Belmont Stakes on June 7. Which is why California Chrome will remain at racing’s most famous track instead of flying back home or arriving early to prepare for the longer 1 3/16-mile race at Pimlico. “Rather than shift to different tracks, he likes it here, he likes his surroundings,” said Sherman, who became the oldest trainer to win the Derby. “Let him freshen up for a few days and we’ll get over there probably four or five days before just to school him like I always do.” Sherman’s strategy certainly worked for California Chrome in the Derby, where the 5-2 favorite became the first California-bred champion since Decidedly in 1962. Jockey Victor Espinoza’s decision to lay off early in a slower-than-expected race also paid off, allowing California Chrome to save his best for the stretch in the 19-horse field. He went on to his fifth straight win and seventh in 11 starts. Commanding Curve was second and Danza third. Despite the huge spotlight and expectations, California Chrome fulfilled them in racing’s marquee event by remaining unfazed. He was just as laid back Sunday morning while soaking up attention from media and visitors. “He’s pretty good that way, just takes everything in stride,” said Alan Sherman, who co-trains the horse with his father. “He got a little worked up Saturday on his way over to the paddock, but once he got in he was fine. He just loves to train and loves to run, that horse.” Bigger stage, brighter spotlight for Wall and Lillard MIAMI (AP) — John Wall was the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Damian Lillard hit perhaps the signature shot of the opening round of these playoffs. Within the game, both are already considered stars. Over the next couple weeks, casual fans might see why. Wall and Lillard will be on the biggest stages of their pro careers starting Monday, when the conference-semifinal round of the NBA playoffs gets underway. Major challenges await them both — Wall and the Washington Wizards take on East No. 1 seed Indiana, while Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers face West No. 1 seed San Antonio. But if the first round was any indicator, neither will fail to embrace the spotlight that’s coming their way. “Playoffs bring a bigger light,” Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. “These guys are very good, young, talented players. Now you’re get- ting an opportunity to see what the future of the NBA looks like with these young guys. They’re ready for the moment. They’re playing unbelievable basketball.” Plenty of the usual suspects — Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin — are in the second round, and it’s fairly common to see them on television either playing the game or flexing their stardom in other ways. Wall and Lillard, they don’t exactly have the same status. Then again, neither had been in the playoffs before now, either. Gavitt Tipoff Games: Big Ten, Big East series NEW YORK (AP) — Thirty-five years ago, Dave Gavitt was the driving force behind an idea that would change college basketball forever. On Monday, the Big East — the conference he led to such success in so short a period — and the Big Ten announced a series that they hope will get the season off to a big start while honoring Gavitt’s legacy. “This all started with friendship and it ends with competition,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said at a news conference at Madison Square Garden. “This shows Dave’s spirit is with us today as much as when he was with us.” The eight-game series between the leagues will begin with the 2015-16 season and will be known as the Gavitt Tipoff Games. The four-day event will be held the first week of the regular season and will be played at home sites, four from each conference. The original deal is for eight years. The matchups for the inaugural Gavitt Tipoff Games will be announced after next season. Gavitt, who died in 2011 at 73, coached Providence to the NCAA tournament five times, including the Final Four in 1973. He was the key player in the formation of the Big East and was its first commissioner. He was selected to coach the U.S. Olympic team in 1980, but the United States boycotted the Moscow Games. Gavitt was president of USA Basketball and oversaw the introduction of NBA players onto the U.S. Olympic roster, including the Dream Team at the 1992 Games. He served on the NCAA’s Division I Basketball Committee from 1980-84 and was its chairman when the tournament expanded to 64 teams and the first of its contracts with CBS was negotiated. When he left the Big East in 1990, Gavitt joined the Boston Celtics’ front office, succeeding Red Auerbach in running the franchise. He was fired in 1994. Gavitt served as chairman of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, to which he was inducted in 2006. Those closest to Gavitt said he was always tinkering with the idea of getting the season off to a blockbuster start. “Dave was about events and he was always talking about the start of the season,” said Mike Tranghese, the Big East’s first employee hired by Gavitt and his successor as commissioner. “He would be so happy about this, not only the great games but especially with the relationships between the conferences.

Manziel is relatively short, and his well-documented time and exploits at Texas A&M raised concerns about maturity. “I don’t think they’re physically ready. I don’t think they’re far along mentally.
