Thomas, 92 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 71 Bid opening on waterline project set for Monday By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Bids on the water line replacement project in downtown Pomeroy will open Monday at Pomeroy Village Hall. Merchants who have expressed concern about possible disruption of business, as well as other citizens, are invited to attend the bid opening slated for the regular council meeting on Monday night. The engineer on the project is expected to be at the bid opening, Paul Helman, village administrator, said. The project involves replacement of water lines along Second, Sycamore and Court streets, according to Helman, who noted that the trenches for laying the new water lines will be about 4 feet deep and open for a short duration, “a week or so” and then when filled will have to settle for about two weeks before regular traffic can resume. In other business, during a recent meeting a report on the repair of West Main Street near the corporation line between Pomeroy and Middleport will begin and be completed this week. The cost of what is described as a “temporary fix” of the short section of highway, which has deep bumps and holes, is $7,500. Mayor Jackie Welker said the work that is going on now will consist of leveling out, smoothing out and blacktopping. A more permanent fix on that section of road, where the cause of the recurring damage is probably related to hillside water drainage underneath, is being addressed by the village, Welker said. He said the village has applied for a Critical Infrastructure Grant of $300,000 from the state, which has not been granted yet, but is expected to be granted probably next year. An estimate on permanent repair obtained earlier was $303,000, Welker said. Helman reminded residents that the annual spring trash pickup by the village which will occur May 28. He said that the truck will be on the move at 8 a.m. and make only one pass on every street. He emphasized that there will be “no call backs” and encouraged residents to get out what they want to dispose of the day before so that friends and neighbors might look it over for things they might like to have. He emphasized that this is not a normal trash pickup, that little things need to be put out in boxes. No computers, television sets, monitors or tires will be picked up. Meigs selects Prom royalty Rick Werner talks about growing herbs to Susan Dingess and Peggy Davis. Photos by Jennifer Harrison The art of growing herbs By Jennifer Harrison Special to The Daily Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Herbs. They can be used in making tea, baking muffins, or spicing up food. They have been used for medicinal purposes and to make dyes and fragrant oils. Birds and bees love herbs in a garden setting. However you chose to use herbs, it was covered at “The Art of Growing Herbs,” part one of a twopart series on herbs held recently at the Riverbend Arts Council in Middleport. Rick Werner, a Meigs County native and former president of the Missouri Master Gardners, was the speaker. He and his wife, Lynn, currently reside in Pomeroy. Werner emphasized that herbs grow best in welldrained soil, full sun and low nitrogen. He also discussed pros and cons of starting herbs from seed vs. plant. The seed is more economical, with a wider available variety, while purchasing herb plants from a local nursery is a simpler process but somewhat more expensive, he said. A third option offered would be propagating plants from stem cuttings or division. This option is possible only with specific herbs. Certain herbs, such as rosemary, are not always winter hardy and are best placed indoors during the coldest weather, while others do fine remaining outside during win- Rick Werner will be back to give tips on cooking with herbs in the fall.

County officials discuss water disasters MIDDLEPORT — Don Hysell, field supervisor for public works which includes the water department, Faymon Roberts, village administrator, and Mike Gerlach, mayor, recently attended a workshop at Salt Fork Lodge near Cambridge on being prepared for water disasters due to ice storms or chemical spills, like occurred in West Virginia recently. There was a strong focus on what happens if electric power is lost since water and waste water pumps do not work in such cases because electronic controls are lost. American Electric Power was represented at the meeting to take part in the discussion on improved communications in emergency situations. Gerlach noted that several of the procedures are already in place in Middleport, such as back-up generators, the Source Water Protection Plan, Ohio WARN membership where other departments across the region, state and nation become available to help in a crisis, containment valves and inclusion in the County Emergency Management Plan. Keeping lines of communication open with local, state and federal responders is extremely important for coordination in an emergency, said the mayor. He noted that state and federal responders are there to help with those procedures when a water crisis occurs. Gerlach described the Meigs County Emergency Management Facility as a “huge step forward for dealing with such emergencies.” Two seriously injured, charged following pursuit By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com CHESHIRE — Two people were flown to a Huntington-area hospital on Tuesday night after a high-speed pursuit that began in Gallipolis ended in a crash near the Gallia-Meigs county line. Holly K. Rose, 33, of Vinton County, and Richard E. Camp, 33, of Albany, are facing various charges, including fleeing and eluding, illegal possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, and possession of drugs. Rose, the driver of the vehicle, is also facing a charge of aggravated vehicular assault, following the incident on Tuesday evening. According to the report filed with the Gallipolis Police Department, the pursuit began in Gallipolis after an officer with the police department received information that a female — identified as Rose — who had an active bench warrant for her arrest, was at Walmart in Gallipolis and had purchased pseudoephedrine — a precursor ingredient in the production of methamphetamine. At approximately 8:30 p.m., the officer observed Rose and a male, later identified as Camp, leave Walmart via the general merchandise doors. The pair walked toward a silver 2002 Mazda Protegé and entered the vehicle, with Rose in the driver’s seat and Camp in Amber Gillenwater | OVP News the passenger’s seat. The vehicle involved in Monday evening’s pursuit and subsequent crash was hauled from the scene by Graham’s Towing later that night.

Ukraine tightens cordon around rebellious city DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian troops tightened a security cordon around a major insurgent-held eastern city Tuesday, but pro-Russia militia acted with impunity elsewhere in the turbulent region bordering Russia, surrounding a major Interior Ministry base. Thirty pro-Russia insurgents and four government troops were killed Monday in operations to expunge anti-government forces around the city of Slovyansk, Ukraine’s interior minister said Tuesday. Rebels said 10 people — fighters and civilians — were killed by Ukrainian troops during clashes Monday. They would not elaborate and there was no immediate way to reconcile the figures. Gunbattles on Monday around the city of 125,000 were the interim government’s most ambitious effort to date to quell weeks of unrest in Ukraine’s mainly Russian-speaking east. In the southwest, Kiev authorities also attempted to reassert control over the key Black Sea region of Odessa by appointing a new governor there Tuesday. This nation of 46 million is facing its worst crisis in decades after its Moscowleaning president, whose base was in the east, fled to Russia in February following months of protests.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov gave the death toll on his Facebook page Tuesday, adding that 20 government troops were also injured during fighting in Slovyansk. He said about 800 pro-Russia forces in and around Slovyansk were using large-caliber weapons and mortars Monday. By Tuesday morning, Ukrainian forces had taken hold of a key checkpoint north of the city, dealing a blow to insurgent lines of communication. In Donetsk, a major city 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of Slovyansk, the airport was closed during the day to international flights following a government order but reopened later. In the afternoon, about 30 pro-Russia militants armed with automatic rifles and grenade launchers surrounded an Interior Ministry base in Donetsk, demanding that the troops inside not join any government operations against pro-Russia forces. While it was unclear whether they would attack, besieging a government forces base marked an uptick in the offensive of the militants, who previously had focused on seizing police stations and government buildings. In the southwest, Kiev authorities announced Tuesday they were firing the acting governor in Odessa and replacing him with member of parliament, Ihor Palytsya. Odessa’s police chief was also fired over the weekend. �Wednesday, May 7, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 3 IRS seeks applicants for volunteer tax assistance program grants COLUMBUS, Ohio — Internal Revenue Service officials say the agency will accept applications for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance grant programs through June 2. Some organizations can apply to receive annual funding for up to three years. Applications must be submitted through grants.gov by June 2. Previous grant recipients have the option to apply for up to three years of annual funding, which reduces the amount of paperwork that must be completed annually, and helps recipients with budget planning. Interested applicants can find TCE and VITA application packages on grants.gov. Electronic versions of the grant application package instructions, Publication 1101 for TCE and Publication 4671 for VITA, can be found on the www.irs.gov website. The TCE program was established in 1978 to provide tax counseling and return prepara- tion to persons who are 60 or older. Volunteers who provide free federal income tax help to seniors nationwide receive free training and technical assistance. The VITA program, created in 1969, provides free federal income tax filing assistance to underserved communities. The VITA Grant program was established in 2007 to supplement the VITA program. The grant program enables VITA to extend services to underserved populations in hard-toreach urban and non-urban areas. It increases the taxpayer’s ability to electronically file returns, and enhances volunteer training to improve the accuracy rate of returns prepared at VITA sites. Holzer marks National Nurses Week, May 6-12 Staff reports GDTnews@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Holzer has joined with the American Nurses’ Association to recognize May 6-12 as National Nurses Week, an annual opportunity for communities to recognize the full range of nurses’ contributions to health care. This year’s theme, “Nurses: Leading the Way,” recognizes nurses as leaders at the bedside, in the board room, throughout communities and in the halls of government. The public holds nurses in high regard and trusts them to advocate for patients. For the past 12 years, the public has ranked nursing as the top profession for honesty and ethics in an annual Gallup survey. Beginning with National Nurses Day on May 6, nurses are being honored as leaders who improve the quality of health care. Nurses practice in diverse roles, such as clinicians, administrators, researchers, educators and policymakers. “All nurses are leaders, whether they are in direct patient care, administrative roles, or meeting consumers’ needs in new roles such as care coordinators or wellness coaches,” said ANA president Dr. Karen A. Daley. “This week, we acknowledge nurses’ vast contributions and how they are leading the way in improving health care and ultimately, the health of the nation.” Nurses are leading initiatives to increase access to care and improve outcomes by focusing on primary care, prevention, wellness, chronic disease management and the coordination of care among health care providers and settings. These are areas in which nurses excel given their education and experience. “We are extremely proud of the nursing staff we have throughout our health system,” said Dr. T. Wayne Munro, of Holzer Health System. “Our health system would not be where it is today without the dedicated and quality nursing staff available for our communities. From nurse aides to our nurse practitioners, we want to express appreciation to each and every one during this week and every week at Holzer.” As the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented, nurses will be more crucial than ever, leading efforts to expand primary care at community-based clinics and deliver more efficient and cost-effective care as members of collaborative health care teams. Consider that:Nursing is the nation’s largest health care profession, with nearly three million employed professionals. Nursing is projected to grow faster than all other occupations: The federal government projects more than one million new RNs will be needed by 2022 to fill new jobs and replace RNs who leave the profession. Demand for nursing care will grow rapidly as Baby Boomers swell Medicare enrollment by 50 percent by 2025 and millions of individuals obtain new or better access to care under the health care reform law. Nurses are rapidly creating and expanding new job roles — such as nurse navigators, care coordinator specialists, and nurse wellness coaches — to help patients secure resources, obtain seamless comprehensive care, and develop healthy lifestyle practices. Wherever health care is provided, a nurse is likely to be there — hospitals, ambulatory care centers, private practices, retail and urgent care clinics, nurse-managed health centers, homes, schools, nursing homes, and public and nonprofit agencies. David Walker votes at the Moreland Hills Service Garage on Tuesday in Moreland Hills, Ohio. AP Photo Ohio primary includes ballot issue, GOP incumbents COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Primary voters around Ohio were deciding Tuesday whether a number of incumbent Republican lawmakers will keep their seats, and if taxpayers should continue to pay for a state program for repairs and upgrades to roads and bridges. No voting issues were reported to state officials on Tuesday morning. “Everything seems to be going smoothly,” Ohio Secretary of State’s Office spokesman Matt McClellan said. He had no information about turnout, which is expected to be light. Five GOP incumbents in the Ohio Senate have challengers, though no Democratic incumbents do. Democrats have 13 contested primary races for seats in the Ohio House, while majority Republicans have almost twice as many. In the race for governor, the Democratic leader of the state’s most populous county was looking past a little-known Dayton-area activist to take on Gov. John Kasich in November. Most observers believe Larry Ellis Ealy of Trotwood has little chance against Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, the Democrats’ endorsed candidate. Marylyn Brengelman, a 66-yearold retiree who voted in Cincinnati, said she likes Kasich because “he’s done a good job overall.” “I just voted Republican down the line,” she said. “I’d like to boot everyone out of Washington and get a fresh start, but that’s not an option.” Rick Pender, a 65-year-old Cincinnati resident and fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, said he voted for Fitzgerald. “I hope the Democrats in Ohio get their act together,” he said soon after the polls opened. “It seems the Republicans are in a strong position. I’m just hopeful the Democrats can have a good ticket and do better at becoming well-known to voters.” Pender said the ultimate focus should be on the economy and job creation. “That’s been Kasich’s strength, whether you agree with him or not,” he said. “It still needs to improve, especially with employment.” Jim Flynn, a semiretired executive recruiter from Toledo, voted in the Democratic primary for governor but had trouble for a moment remembering FitzGerald’s name. He admitted he didn’t know much about him. Flynn normally leans toward Democrats but said he’s been impressed by Kasich’s first term. “He’s been a pleasant surprise,” he said. “I kind of like him, kind of.” Kasich would get his vote right now over FitzGerald, Flynn said. The biggest issue on his mind is still unemployment, even though it has gotten better, he said. Voters also were picking which U.S. House candidates will run in the fall; all 16 incumbents are seeking re-election. U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of West Chester is expected to win his bid for a 13th term representing southwestern Ohio, despite unhappiness among some GOP voters about the federal deficit and immigration. The Republican faces two tea party opponents, high school teacher J.D. Winteregg and businessman Eric Gurr in the 8th District. State Rep. Peter Beck of Mason, who faces felony charges, is among the 15 Republican incumbents in the Ohio House trying to defend their seats. Beck is accused of misleading investors about a company’s financial status and using their money for personal gain, allegations he denies. The election will also determine the outcome of one statewide ballot issue, along with about 600 local issues. Voters will choose whether to renew a public works program that funds repairs and upgrades to roads, bridges and other local infrastructure. The ballot issue would allow the state to borrow $1.875 billion over 10 years through the issuance of general obligation bonds. Scott Fettig, a 39-year-old newscast director who was at a Cincinnati precinct with his 4- and 5-year-old sons, said he voted for it. “It’s important to do something with infrastructure and issuing bonds is probably better than collecting tolls,” he said. Ohio issues new school report cards after scandal COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Six Ohio school districts that were found to have altered student data to improve their performance ratings were issued new state report cards on Tuesday. The Ohio Department of Education released the report cards for all 143 schools in the six dis- tricts, which include Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo. The state changed grades for 20 schools for the 2010-2011 school year. Grades at 10 Cleveland schools dropped, according to The Columbus Dispatch. The only two that rose were in Cincinnati. According to a news release from the state, the most significant change was the lowering of the 2011 rating for the Northridge Local School District near Dayton in southwest Ohio. The district went from “Excellent” to “Continuous Improvement,” a drop of two levels under the rating system in place at that time. The inflated rating had allowed the district to receive nearly $28,000 in state bonus money for excellent academic performance. The department is demanding the district return the money. “Actions that mislead the public about the performance of our education system are unac- ceptable,” state Superintendent Richard Ross said in a statement. “Local communities should have confidence that schools are giving a full and honest accounting of how they are educating our children. By recalculating the report cards, we are taking an important step to restore that trust.” Pursuit After the vehicle failed to stop at the stop sign at the most-northern exit at Walmart plaza and continued north on Ohio 7, the officer, who was following the vehicle, attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle, that had traveled into Ohio River Plaza, stopped in the Rural King parking lot. However, as the officer exited his cruiser and walked toward the suspect vehicle, he noticed that the car was not in the “parked” position, and it slowly began to move forward as he approached. After giving the driver three commands to put the vehicle in “park,” Rose reportedly refused to comply and accelerated toward the south-side exit of Ohio River Plaza. After failing to stop at a second stop sign, the car turned right back onto Ohio 7, traveling north, and maneuvered into the center turning lane, passing approximately 20 vehicles at speeds reaching 100 mph, according to the report. As the officer approached the on-ramp at the Silver Memorial Bridge, he observed a large dust cloud and several cars off the side of the road, as it was later learned that the suspect vehicle had traveled over the fog line and off the roadway as it passed the vehicles at that location. The silver car also reportedly struck a blue-colored Chevrolet Silverado and continued to travel north on Ohio 7 at a high-rate of speed. Due to the traffic, the officer reportedly lost sight of the suspect vehicle near the Silver Memorial Bridge, but continued northward until he observed a trooper with the Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol near the intersection of George’s Creek Road. The trooper had his emergency lights on, and the Gallipolis officer was advised by dispatch that Ohio State High Patrol (OSHP) units were following the suspect vehicle. The officer continued to follow the OHSP units as the pursuit continued along Ohio 7, through the village of Cheshire and into Meigs County, where the vehicle turned onto Story’s Run Road and traveled back into Gallia County. The pursuit covered approximately 10 more miles before the suspect reportedly lost control of her vehicle and struck two trees on Jessie Creek Road. Due to their possible life-threatening injuries, Gallia County EMS was dispatched to the scene to treat the crash victims. Both parties were reportedly removed from their vehicle and transported to the Old River Valley High School in Cheshire, where they were met by air medical units. They were then transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital to receive treatment for their injuries. According to the report, as officers were assisting the crash victims, they observed items inside and outside of the vehicle that are precursor ingredients in the manufacture of methamphetamine, including lithium batteries and several bottles of Coleman fuel. Those items were seized as evidence. It was also later learned by officers that an air medical unit treating Camp had allegedly located prescription narcotics inside the patient’s boot. These items were also later seized by officers and are awaiting transportation to the Ohio Bureau Criminal Identification and Investigation laboratory for analysis. Calls placed to Cabell Huntington Hospital concerning the condition of the Rose and Camp were not returned as of press time. Further information on this case will be released as it is made available by officials. IN MEMORY Pauline Johnson Cunningham on her birthday, May 7.

It had been hostile since 1979, when the Islamic revolution overthrew the brutal U.S.-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Iranians held 52 Americans hostage for more than a year. The relationship deteriorated further when the Reagan administration helped Iraq after it attacked Iran and as the Iraqi forces used chemical weapons on the Iranians. During the war, the U.S. Navy shot down an Iranian civilian airliner, killing the more than 200 people aboard. On the other side, the Reagan administration sold arms to Iranians in an attempt to free American hostages in Lebanon and to finance aid to the Contras in Central America. Despite all this, reports Gareth Porter in his important new book “Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare,” change was in the air in 1989. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, died and was succeeded by the president, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Then Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, speaker of the parliament, was elected president. His “victory brought to power a pragmatic conservative who was openly committed to integrating Iran into the global economic system,” Porter writes. Meanwhile in the United States, George H.W. Bush had become president. Bush, Porter writes, “recognized the opportunity [for a new relationship] and pledged in his inaugural address … that Iran’s ‘assistance’ in the liberation of U.S. hostages being held by a militant group in Lebanon would be ‘long remembered,’ adding, ‘Goodwill begets goodwill.’” The Bush administration took steps toward normalization, and Iran went to work on freeing the hostages. On Dec. 4, 1991, the last American was freed. “Reciprocal gestures” from the Americans, such as lifting some economic sanctions and removing Iran from the terrorist list, got a close look. Then suddenly, in April 1992, the administration changed course. Why? According to Porter, people in the administration have since said that intelligence reports indicated Iran was planning to engage in terrorism, rearm and procure nuclear weapons. The source for this information was Bush’s national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft. “But,” Porter writes, “Scowcroft cited no intelligence of an actual terrorist attack by Iran, except for the claim of an Iranian assassination of someone who was not identified somewhere in Connecticut. And that claim was apparently either a mistake or a deliberate ruse by someone seeking to justify the refusal to make any reciprocal gesture to Iran, because no such assassination was ever registered in the FBI’s central database of incidents relevant to its work.” This would foreshadow a pattern of attributing, without evidence, violence almost anywhere in the world to Iran or an Iran-backed group. As for the claim about nuclear weapons, Porter’s book demonstrates that while Iran wanted a civilian nuclear industry, including the ability to enrich uranium, it never sought a nuclear weapon — and the U.S. government knew it. What, then, accounts for the change from conciliation to continued antagonism? Porter partly implicates Robert Gates, who became CIA director just as interest in a new relationship was vanishing. “One explanation for his hostility to Iran,” Porter writes, “was that he blamed then president Rafsanjani for having revealed the 1986 secret visit of NSC [National Security Council] staff to Iran in connection with the Iran-Contra plan — an episode that almost cost Gates his career. Gates was nominated for CIA director in 1987, but he withdrew his name after it became clear that he would not be confirmed because of questions raised by other witnesses about his veracity.” But Porter also provides ample evidence that the main reason for the about-face was fear at the CIA and Pentagon that their budgets and staffs would be slashed with the end of the Cold War. The “CIA had a very large institutional interest at stake in treating Iran as a new, high-priority threat to U.S. interests,” Porter writes. “The CIA leadership had begun the search for substitutes for the Soviet threat as early as 1988.” Would these government agencies really manufacture a threat merely to protect themselves from budget cutters in the wake of the Cold War? Anyone who knows anything about bureaucracies knows the answer to that question. Sheldon Richman is vice president and editor at The Future of Freedom Foundation in Fairfax, Va.

Regardless of all the good any individual may have done in life, it only takes one racist remark to dismantle an entire kingdom. I thought Joan Rivers really sounded stupid on April 22 when she appeared on the “Today” show and compared accommodations in her daughter’s guest room to those the Cleveland women kidnapped by Ariel Castro experienced when they were held captive and raped for 10 years. She was trying to be funny, but bad stuff that happens to people is not funny. Sterling, Deen and Imus have made massive amounts of money and did not do so out of ignorance. Although Deen suffered financial consequences, Sterling’s wealth is in no danger as he stands to make even more profit selling the San Diego Clippers. We need to eliminate racism all around. Black people should eliminate the “N” word and all other terminology that is offensive. There is no excuse for it in music, comedy or professional sports. Racism is not just about African Americans. Slurs made about our Hispanic, Latino and Asian citizens are just as painful. America is now hugely multicultural and is becoming more so almost every day. It’s no longer the blacks and the whites. America cannot remain the No. 1 country in the world until we see each other as fellow Americans regardless of race or gender. It will take all of us to solve our issues including energy, clean water, jobs, debt, defense and the endless list. If we continue to devour and hurt each other we will destroy ourselves from the inside. Only teams win games. One individual seldom carries a team to a championship. Regardless if it’s football, basketball or baseball everyone is necessary to bring about victory. There cannot be inward fighting, jealousy, hatred and name calling. Such activity divides a team and guarantees defeat. We have to work harder in this country to move beyond color, gender and ethnicity. We must see the bigger picture. It can no longer be the attitude of us four and no more. We must make our circle bigger including all that love our country, abide by our Constitution and pledge allegiance to the same flag. Glenn Mollette is an American columnist and author. By Eugene Robinson Democrats, if you want to win in the fall, take some advice from Pharrell Williams: “Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.” The Mountie-hat-wearing pop singer’s infectious “Happy” should be the Democratic Party’s theme song for the midterm election. Despite Republican claims to the contrary, things are definitely looking up. Democrats ought to be clicking their heels and spreading the good news. Friday’s announcement that unemployment fell to 6.3 percent was huge. The fact that the economy added 288,000 jobs in April — despite continued bad weather early in the month in parts of the country — suggests that the recovery has greater momentum than pessimists had feared. Economists were expecting decent numbers. These are great. The stock market, meanwhile, is flirting with an alltime high. The Dow has risen about 10 percent over the past year; the S&P 500, more than 16 percent; the Nasdaq, about 22 percent. During President Barack Obama’s term in office, the Dow has more than doubled. If he were a socialist, as his harshest critics claim, he’d be a truly lousy one. The numbers prove that Obama is, in fact, a skillful capitalist who guided the economy out of its worst slump since the Great Depression. He accomplished this feat despite being saddled with a Republican opposition in Congress that reflexively opposes his every initiative — even those based on policies the GOP had supported in the past. Speaking of which, the Affordable Care Act — which is based, you’ll recall, on a framework developed in Republican think tanks — is clearly a success and may soon be seen as a triumph. More than 8 million people have signed up for insurance through the federal and state exchanges; Obama’s benchmark had been 7 million. Enough of these enrollees are young and healthy to ensure the program’s continued viability. The disasters predicted by the Republican Party have not come true. Critics have stopped talking about a hypothetical “death spiral” in which the health insurance reforms collapse of their own weight, since it is now clear that nothing of the sort will happen. Early indications are that any increase in premiums for next year will be modest. Republicans will keep attacking Obamacare because it fires up the base, but the program is here to stay. Democrats now have a positive story they can tell in their campaign ads and speeches: “We promised you that these were the right policies to get the economy on track and reform health care. We said it would take time to see results and asked for patience. You gave us your trust and now we’re seeing the benefits. This is just the beginning. Give us a mandate to keep moving forward on an agenda that is working.” This is what Democrats are saying, more or less. But would it hurt to show a little enthusiasm? Obama can be excused for his brief and relatively lowkey reaction to the jobs numbers Friday. He spoke in the White House Rose Garden alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with whom he had just met, and the situation in Ukraine was clearly weighing on both leaders’ minds. “The grit and determination of the American people are moving us forward,” Obama said, “but we have to keep a relentless focus on job creation and creating more opportunities for working families.” I propose that Democrats ban the word “but” until after the election. Republicans are giving “but” a workout. Unemployment may be down to 6.3 percent, they say, but too many people are leaving the workforce. The jobs numbers for April may look good, but we don’t know if this rate of growth can be sustained. Enrollment numbers for the Affordable Care Act may be impressive, but have all those people actually paid their premiums? These are not honest caveats. Republican claims about enrollees not paying their insurance premiums, for example, are based on a survey taken before many of those premiums were even due. The GOP wants to foster the notion that nothing is going well with Democrats in charge of the White House and the Senate — and that it’s time for a change. When Democrats sound like the old “Saturday Night Live” character Debbie Downer — emphasizing what’s still ailing about the economy, promising to “fix what’s broken” in Obamacare — they reinforce the Republicans’ message rather than refute it. Listen up, Democrats. You fixed the economy. You expanded access to health care. Oh, and you ended two wars. Show a little happiness. It’s contagious. �Wednesday, May 7, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 5 Obituary LINDA PAULINE “POLLY” BOSTICK SYRACUSE, Ohio — Linda Pauline “Polly” Bostick, 65, of Syracuse, passed away Monday, May 5, 2014.

Man charged in Ohio veterans hospital shooting DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A man suspected of shooting an Ohio veterans hospital housekeeping employee in the ankle was scheduled for a federal court hearing on Tuesday. Neil Moore, 59, was to appear before a U.S. magistrate in Dayton on possible charges, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said. Authorities said 61-year-old Paul Burnside was shot Monday in a struggle over a gun with Moore. Authorities say the gun went off as the two fought over it in a hospital break room. Moore and Burnside apparently knew each other, but investigators said Monday that they hadn’t determined a possible motive. Police say Moore left the hospital after the shooting, but was taken into custody at another hospital where he was seeking psychiatric treatment. “We don’t know how he exited,” Dayton police Chief Richard Biehl said.

Federal report: Warming disrupts Americans’ lives WASHINGTON (AP) — Global warming is rapidly turning America the beautiful into America the stormy, sneezy and dangerous, according to a new federal scientific report. And those shining seas? Rising and costly, the report says. Climate change’s assorted harms “are expected to become increasingly disruptive across the nation throughout this century and beyond,” the National Climate Assessment concluded Tuesday. The report emphasizes that warming and all-too-wild weather are changing daily lives, using the phrase “climate disruption” as another way of saying global warming. Still, it’s not too late to prevent the worst of climate change, says the 840-page report, which the White House is highlighting as it tries to jump-start often-stalled efforts to curb heat-trapping gases. White House science adviser John Holdren called the report, the third edition of a congressionally mandated study, “the loudest and clearest alarm bell to date signaling the need to take urgent action.” Later this summer, the Obama administration plans to propose new and controversial regulations restricting gases that come from existing coal-fired power plants. Some fossil energy groups, conservative think tanks and Republican senators immediately assailed the report as “alarmist.” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said President Barack Obama was likely to “use the platform to renew his call for a national energy tax. And I’m sure he’ll get loud cheers from liberal elites — from the kind of people who leave a giant carbon footprint and then lecture everybody else about low-flow toilets.” Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana said the report was supposed to be scientific but “it’s more of a political one used to justify government overreach.” The report — which is full of figures, charts and other research-generated graphics — includes 3,096 footnotes to other mostly peer-reviewed research. It was written by more than 250 scientists and government officials, starting in 2012. A draft was released in January 2013, but this version has been reviewed by more scientists, including twice by the National Academy of Science which called it “reasonable,” and has had public comment. It is written in a bit more simple language so people can realize “that there’s a new source of risk in their lives,” said lead author Gary Yohe of Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Environmental groups praised the report. “If we don’t slam the brakes on the carbon pollution driving climate change, we’re dooming ourselves and our children to more intense heat waves, destructive floods and storms and surging sea levels,” said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Scientists and the White House called it the most detailed and U.S.-focused scientific report on global warming. “Climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present,” the report says. “Corn producers in Iowa, oyster growers in Washington state and maple syrup producers in Vermont are all observing climate-related changes that are outside of recent experience.” ing for 27 years before retiring in October, according to a statement from the hospital. Burnside also was a housekeeping aide and started at the hospital in 1998. Authorities said three people witnessed the shooting. In a 911 call, an officer with the Veterans Affairs police told a dispatcher the suspected gunman was wearing a jacket with a U.S. Marine Corps emblem and that they were searching for him on the first floor. The FBI said a revolver was found later inside the suspect’s vehicle. Moore’s sister-in-law, Stephanie Brooks, told reporters outside the family’s home in the Dayton suburb of Trotwood that they were devastated. “We’re all confused and we’re trying to find out what has happened,” she said. Neighbors said they were shocked to hear that Moore was the suspect. “It was surreal,” said Charles Taylor, 37, who lives across the street from Moore. “He has al- ways seemed to be a good guy, and a role model for the neighborhood.” Burnside’s daughter, Shirneal Burnside, 16, said outside his house Monday that her sister called to tell her about the shooting, but she had few details. “It’s just crazy that people do such things,” she said. The shooting, during the lunch hour in the basement of the hospital’s main building in the service and operations area, led to a lockdown at the hospital as FBI agents searched the complex. The hospital complex has beds for about 450 people and provides veterans with medical, mental health and nursing home care. It does not have metal detectors at its entrances, but the hospital does have its own security force. Four years ago, an Iraq War Army veteran who had been a patient at the hospital shot himself to death at a monument to soldiers outside the facility.

The Blue Devils (14-4) outhit the hosts by a sizable 14-5 overall margin, but the Raiders (3-11) owned a 4-2 edge after two complete — which enabled RVHS to secure the early advantage. Cody Lee singled home Kevin Cline with two outs in the bottom of the first for a 1-0 contest. GAHS found its offensive rhythm in the third as the guests sent nine batters to the plate, which resulted in five runs on seven hits for a 5-1 edge. The Blue Devils followed by sending 11 batters to the plate in the fourth, which yielded six runs on five hits, two errors and two walks — giving the guests an 11-1 edge after four complete. River Valley had the bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom of the fourth, but ultimately failed to get a run home. RVHS went down in order in the fifth to wrap up the mercy-rule decision. The Raiders committed four of the six errors in the contest and both teams left seven runners stranded on base. GAHS also claimed a season sweep after posting a 20-0 win in five innings back on March 31 at Eastman Field. Marcus Moore was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned run and three walks over five innings while striking out five. Tim Kemper suffered the setback after surrendering seven earned runs and 11 hits over three innings of work. Gage Childers led Gallia Academy with three hits, followed by Wills, Ty Warnimont, Anthony Sipple and Alex White with two safeties apiece. Gustin Graham, Eric Sheets and Kole Carter also had a hit each for the victors. Childers, Graham, Wills, Sipple and Sheets each drove in two RBIs, while Warnimont, Childers, Graham, Wills and White scored two runs apiece. Cline, Kemper, Lee, Tyler Cline and Jordan Gilliland each had a safety for River Valley.

Hall joined Bengals teammates for a voluntary workout on Monday. He’s running on schedule and expects to be ready for the season. Cincinnati holds its first training camp practice on July 23. “What can I do? I can do it all, actually,” Hall said. “I feel comfortable pretty much doing anything, whether it’s straight ahead, lateral type stuff, jumping, landing. I think I’m pretty good to go with almost everything.” The 29-year-old cornerback is going through a familiar comeback. He has torn both of his Achilles tendons in the last three years. The Bengals’ top cornerback tore his left one during a game on Dec. 13, 2011, but made it back for the start of training camp the next year. He started 14 games in 2012 and played up to form despite the injury. Last year, he tore his right Achilles tendon on Oct. 20 at Detroit. He’s following a similar schedule for the latest rehabilitation, which is going a little more smoothly than the first one. “It’s easier in that sense, just as far as I’ve been through it,” Hall said. “I know if something is going wrong on a certain day that it’s not the end of the world. It’s not going to affect me negatively in the long run. “Sometimes it’ll be more sore than on other days, a little more tender or whatnot. I used to get a little discouraged (during the first rehab), but now it is what it is. Just keep working, go past it. The soreness will go away and I’ll keep working.” The Bengals’ defense finished third in the league last season but likely will be a focus in the draft this week. Defensive end Michael Johnson left as a free agent, signing “It’s easier in that sense, just as far as I’ve been through it. I know if something is going wrong on a certain day that it’s not the end of the world. It’s not going to affect me negatively in the long run.” — Leon Hall Bengals Cornerback with Tampa Bay. Johnson was a disruptive pass rusher who got the team’s franchise label in 2013. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins is recovering from a torn knee ligament and it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return. “We’re really going to miss Michael Johnson,” defensive tackle Domata Peko said. “He brought a lot to the table as far as leadership and excellent play. But that’s what the name of the game is, next man up. We’ve got a lot of good defensive ends here.” The Bengals also have questions at cornerback. Terence Newman and Adam “Pacman” Jones turn 36 and 31 this year, respectively. Dre Kirkpatrick has struggled with injuries and inconsistency since the Bengals took him in the first round in 2012. Kirkpatrick appeared in 14 games last season, starting three. Hall won’t be watching to see if the Bengals take any cornerbacks in the draft this week. The first round will be held on Thursday night. “If they bring in five corners, they’re going to bring in five corners and honestly we’re going to try to coach them up just like we’re going to coach the guys that are already here,” Hall said. “So it’s not going to make any difference to me.” Hall doesn’t pay much attention to the draft, which was stretched out over three days and moved from April to May this year. “I used to when I first got here, and not just to see if they got cornerbacks,” he said. “I just liked to watch. Now, I don’t know, it’s just so long. It’s kind of like a spectacle. I’m kind of over it to be honest. I don’t really watch it anymore.” Classifieds - continued from previous page Miscellaneous Stereo/TV/Electronics UNITED BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION: DONATE YOUR CAR - FAST FREE TOWING 24 hr.

Now, he finally has an MVP trophy to go with them. The Oklahoma City Thunder star won the NBA’s top individual honor Tuesday, grabbing 119 first-place votes. Miami’s LeBron James, who had won the last two MVP awards and four of the previous five, finished second with six first-place votes and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers was third. Durant, a 6-foot-9 forward, won his fourth scoring crown in five years this season by averaging 32 points per game. He helped the Thunder finish the regular season with a 59-23 record, second-best in the league, despite playing much of the season without threetime All-Star Russell Westbrook by his side because of a nagging knee injury. “He’s been the most consistent guy all season long,” Westbrook said at the end of the regular season. “He’s done a great job of leading us to where we are now. He’s basically put himself in front of everybody else in the league and shown that he’s the best player in the world.” James agreed, saying Monday: “Much respect to him and he deserves it. He had a big-time MVP season.” Durant’s run of 41 consecutive games this season with at least 25 points was the third-longest streak in NBA history. In all, he scored at least 40 points 14 times. He also averaged 7.4 rebounds and a careerhigh 5.5 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field. “He does everything,” New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. “You just can’t recall a guy that long who can do what he does every single night. Shooting from 30 feet on the floor with confidence and driving to the basket and dunking on guys, and then go post up, and on top of it, a great teammate and good kid.” Durant moved to the front of the pack while Westbrook was out following his most recent knee surgery. Durant averaged 35 points and 6.3 assists during that stretch as the Thunder went 20-7 and remained among the league’s elite. Westbrook’s injury gave Durant an opportunity to use his improving skills as a playmaker. “I’ve always been a player that was excited for my teammates’ success,” Durant said. “Not just mine, but my teammates’ as well. Wanting to see them do well translates to my game, which is wanting to pass the ball and seeing my teammates reap the benefits.” Teammates and opponents say Durant became a more complete player this season. They praised him for improving his court vision, consistently making the extra pass and moving more efficiently without the ball. “What he does is tough to do,” teammate Nick Collison said. “I think we take it for granted. To be able to stay on for long periods of time — have to cut hard, catch the ball in the right spot and defend on the other end — is tough to do. To be able to show that shows that he has an edge to him. He doesn’t take a night off.” Durant’s slight build could be considered one of his few weaknesses, but he has especially improved in dealing with opponents who try to push him around. “People have been trying to do that since he’s been in the league, and obviously, he’s just gotten better every season, so I don’t really think that matters with him,” Westbrook said. “He just takes on the challenge. When people try to be physical, he takes on the challenge and becomes more aggressive.” The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant (35) shots in the third quarter against the Miami Heat’s LeBron James (6) at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014. The Thunder won, 112-95.
