Stephens, 79 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 38 Council committees selected, meeting times set Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Realignment of council committees and establishment of the role each will play in the operation of the Village of Pomeroy were discussed during a a recent meeting of village council. Mayor Jackie Welker and members of village council revised appointments to committees based on what each member felt they would be most qualified for and where they could contribute the most. Committees are as follows: Finance — Robert Payne (chair- person), Dru Reed, Vic Young; Grievance — Reed (chairperson), Ruth Spaun, Young; Parks and recreation — Phil Ohlinger (chairperson), Luke Ortman, Spaun; OSHA — Spaun (chairperson), Ortman, Ohlinger; Ordinance — Spaun (chairperson), Ohlinger, Reed; Zoning — Ortman (chairperson), Reed, Ohlinger; Insurance — Young (chairperson), Spaun, Reed. Payne asked that all committees be more involved in the operation and decision making of the village. Duties of the finance committee and items which should be reviewed before presented to the entire council body were discussed by council members. Payne asked that things such as purchases and spending of more than $500 be brought before the finance committee by the requesting part (such as village administrator or police chief) for consideration prior to the purchase moving forward. Other things to be addressed by the finance committee could include the budget and appropriations. The duties of the parks and recreation committee was also addressed by council. The committee will handle scheduling of the parking lot and parks for var- ious events throughout the year. The parks committee would also handle setting up events such as trick-or-treat in the downtown area. The parks committee will meet at 6 p.m. on the second Monday of each month. The finance committee will meet at 6 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month. These are both regular meeting nights, with the regular meeting to begin at 7 p.m. Other items discussed at the meeting included the scheduling conflict with regard to the Sternwheel Festival and the Veteran’s Appreciation Day. The Sternwheel Festival will be held the second weekend in September which is usually the weekend of the Veteran’s Appreciation Day. This would be the fifth year for the Veteran’s event. It was suggested that the American Legion Post 39, which organizes the event select a weekend which council could set specifically for the organization and event to have every year to avoid any conflicts. Dates suggested were the first or third Saturday in September. Welker stated that he could check into getting replacement banners with the new date if one is selected. MCCI joins ACS in Colorectal Cancer Month observance Sentinel Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com Submitted photos Southern FFA recently observed FFA week with several programs and events. Southern observes FFA week Sentinel Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE —Members of the Southern High School FFA recently observed FFA week. Feb. 18-22 was official FFA week. Schools all over the United States participate in this event. At Southern Local, the FFA officers held many events throughout the week. On Tuesday, everyone was to dress country for “country day.” At lunch, a hay bale toss was held, and whoever could throw it the farthest was declared the winner. Dakota Carnahan and Jeremiah Warden were the winners of the hay bale toss contest. Also, on Tuesday, FFA members, Ohio River Producers and officers served lunch to our staff to show our appreciation in supporting our chapter. Wednesday was Drive Your Tractor to School Day and/or Wear Your Favorite Tractor Day. Thursday was Bib, Boot and Hat Day. At lunch, a tire flipping contest was held. The goal was whoever could flip the tire to the finish line the fastest time, won the prize. Winners were Jeremiah Warden and Dakota Carnahan. FFA officers and members also went and visited Southern third graders to POMEROY — March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and the Meigs County Cancer Initiative (MCCI) joins the American Cancer Society in reminding everyone that there are preventive measures which can be taken to reduce the risk. As the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th birthday this year, it is emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate colorectal cancer screening. An estimated 50,830 deaths from colorectal cancer are expected to occur in 2013, accounting for 9 percent of all cancer deaths. The Society is also recommending preventative measures individuals can take to reduce their risk of developing the disease. Adults should maintain a healthy weight, get plenty of physical activity, and eat a diet that is high in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and low in red and processed meats. In addition, limiting alcohol intake can also help reduce your risk of this disease. For information about colon cancer screening and nutrition and physical activity recommendations visit www.cancer.org/ coloncancer . Colorectal cancer is highly treatable if found in its early stages, and half of all colon cancer deaths in the United States could be prevented if everyone followed recommended screening guidelines. Most people should start getting screened for colorectal cancer at age 50, but people with a family history are at higher risk and may need to be screened earlier.

Information submitted by Southern FFA Historian Danielle Icenhower. CHESHIRE — The Emergency HEAP program of the Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency will only continue through March 31. That gives residents of the two counties just a little over three weeks in which to apply, advises Sandra Edwards, CAA Emergency Services Director. She said that the agency is taking calls for appointments, although there are very few available, and noted that residents can either call or walk in to book an appointment. However, she stressed that an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. Walkins can only be assisted on a “as times allows” basis and “worked in around appointments”, because clients with appointments have priority, she explained. Edwards said that emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas and up to $450 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750. Clients heating with wood or coal will be assisted up to $350 also. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, she said. The income guidelines for both HEAP programs are the same. However, Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP.

Greg Moody, director of the governor’s Office of Health Transformation, told reporters Tuesday he’s encouraged by discussions with the Obama administration, but he said it’s too soon to say the two sides have reached an agreement. Republican Gov. John Kasich has discussed whether Ohioans newly eligible for Medicaid under an expanded program could instead get private coverage subsidized by Washington. Those low-income individuals could then purchase insur- ance in the new health insurance market, known as the exchange. “I believe we are getting closer, but we are not going to raise hopes until we’re pretty certain that even at the technical detail, we can get this done,” Moody said. The state anticipates roughly 366,000 low-income Ohioans will be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the health program for the poor that already provides care for one of every five residents in the state. Kasich announced last month in his two-year state budget proposal that he would push for expanding Medicaid, but he wants to know whether the state has flexibility to implement the expansion. �Wednesday, March 6, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituary Clinton R.

Senate panel votes to approve CIA nominee WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Intelligence Committee voted Tuesday to approve President Barack Obama’s pick to lead the CIA after winning a behind-the-scenes battle with the White House over access to a series of top-secret legal opinions that justify the use of lethal drone strikes against terror suspects, including American citizens. John Brennan’s instal- lation at the spy agency has been delayed as Senate Democrats and Republicans have pressed the Obama administration to allow a review of the classified documents prepared by the Justice Department. The senators have argued they can’t perform adequate oversight without reviewing the contents of the opinions, but the White House had resisted re- quests for full disclosure. The intelligence committee’s chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a statement Tuesday that the committee voted 12-3 to send Brennan’s nomination to the full Senate for confirmation. The panel’s deliberations were held behind closed doors. Feinstein did not identify the senators who voted against Brennan.

Racial episodes shake Ohio’s Oberlin College OBERLIN, Ohio (AP) — Scrawls of racially offensive graffiti and, more recently, a report of someone wearing what looked like a Ku Klux Klan-type hooded robe on campus have shaken students at historically liberal Oberlin College, one of the nation’s first universities to admit blacks. A day after the school canceled classes and students marched on campus, many remained worried about their safety. “I just really feel uncomfortable walking alone anywhere,” Modjeska Pleasant, 19, a first-year student from Savannah, Ga., said Tuesday. Pleasant, who is black, said she became upset after hearing a few white students suggest that the racist graffiti first found a month ago and anti-Semitic and racist fliers and other messages left around campus since then were just a prank to get out of classes. The college canceled Monday’s classes after the early morning sighting of someone in a hooded robe. Classes resumed Tuesday. Oberlin city police Chief Thomas Miller said investigators are trying to determine whether the white robe sighting was reliable or possibly related to a separate sighting of a person wrapped in a blanket. He said two students are under investigation for possible involvement in the graffiti incidents and are facing college disciplinary action, but no criminal charges have been filed. Miller said it wasn’t clear whether the actions were a student prank or motivated by bigotry. Meanwhile, the police department has provided stepped-up patrols around the campus at the request of the college. In an open letter, college President Marvin Krislov and three college deans told the campus community that they hope the ordeal will lead to a stronger Oberlin. Students and professors gathered Monday afternoon to talk about mutual respect. Hate-filled graffiti and racially charged displays are not unusual on college campuses. But what makes this string of incidents so shocking is that it happened at a place tied so closely with educating and empowering blacks in America. Oberlin began admitting blacks nearly 180 years ago. Among its graduates are one of the first blacks elected to public office and the first black lawyer allowed to practice in New York state. The city itself was a stop on the Underground Railroad that aided escaped slaves. The college, with nearly 3,000 students, remains a liberal oasis in the middle of northern Ohio, surrounded by conservative farming towns and rust belt cities. Cleveland is about 30 miles away. Isaac Fuhrman, a psychology major from Lexington, Mass., said the incidents were upsetting, especially for black students. “I guess for them, Oberlin doesn’t seem like such a safe haven perhaps,” said Fuhrman, who is white. The Oberlin Review campus newspaper has tracked the incidents since Feb. 9 and said they include defacing Black History Month posters with the n-word, a “whites only” sign written above a water fountain, a swastika drawn on a science center window and a student knocked to the ground by a person making a derogatory comment on ethnicity. Joshua Blue, 18, a first-year student from Naperville, Ill., who is black, said the incidents have cast the historically tolerant Oberlin community in a different light. “We believed that there was what people call the ‘Oberlin bubble,’ which is the idea that we’re in this area where hate and anger and stuff like that doesn’t exist,” he said after phoning his mother to assure her about his safety. Observance From Page 1 “Colon cancer is a leading cancer killer - but it doesn’t have to be. Everyone 50 and older should get tested for colon cancer. It’s one cancer you prevent, treat, and beat!” declared Dr. Carmen Guerra, vice president of the American Cancer Society East Central Division Board of Directors. She also serves as the associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and associate chief of staff at the Abramson Cancer Center at the Perelman School of Medicine. Colon cancer death rates have dropped by more than 30 percent during the past two decades thanks in part to the progress made by the Society. The Society is working with community partners to provide education and access to colon cancer screening in communities that are hardest hit by the disease. Society-funded research has led to improved understanding regarding the link between diet and colorectal cancer, and the development of drugs to treat colorectal cancer. In addition, the Society and its advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action NetworkSM, are working to ensure that all Americans who need colorectal cancer testing and treatment have access to them. The Society recommends the following tests to find colorectal cancer early: Tests that detect precancerous polyps and cancer: • Flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, or • Colonoscopy every 10 years, or • Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) every five years, or • CT colonography (CTC) every five years. Tests that primarily detect cancer: • Annual guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) with high test sensitivity for cancer (Older versions of the Fecal Occult Blood Test should not be used to screen for colorectal cancer), or • Annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) with high test sensitivity for cancer (Older versions of the Fecal Occult Blood Test should not be used to screen for colorectal cancer), or • Stool DNA test (sDNA), with high sensitivity for cancer. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 200% calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a one person household is $22,340, two persons $30,260, three persons $38,180, four persons $46,100, five persons $54,020, and six persons $61,940. Households with more than six members should add an additional $7,920 to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at all three offices; Gallia C.A.A. Office, 859 3rd Avenue, Gallipolis, Central Office, 8010 N. SR 7, Cheshire or the Meigs C.A.A. Office at 369 Powell Street, Middleport. Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. and from 1 to 3:30 p.m. For further information, contact Edwards at the Cheshire Office at 3677341 or 992-6629. Help From Page 1 or three-month period for the test is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these type situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also required that a birth certificate for the primary applicant be presented, along with social security cards for all household members and proof of student ID or report card if someone over 18 and living in the household. Applicants will also be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number, Edwards said.

Stephen Ohlemacher Jennifer Peltz Kevin Begos The Associated Press NEW YORK — The scene: a Manhattan arthouse theater. The cause: a campaign against the gas drilling process known as fracking that’s being led by more than 100 celebrities, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo and Mario Batali. Outside, demonstrators in hazmat suits circle the theater. Inside, actress Scarlett Johansson attends a benefit screening of “Gasland,” the documentary film that has become the movement’s manifesto. Johansson tells The Associated Press that her “Avengers” co-star Ruffalo introduced her to the cause, and that she found the film “incredibly shocking.” The campaign has galvanized hundreds of thousands of followers, but as with many activist causes, the facts can get drowned out by the glitz. Now, some experts are asking whether the celebrities are enlightened advocates or NIMBYs — crying “Not in my backyard!” — even as their privileged lives remain entwined, however ruefully, with fossil fuels. Much of the anti-fracking activism is centered in New York City, where concerts, movies and plays use huge amounts of energy, gourmet chefs including Batali cook with gas, and most people — the glitterati included — heat with gas. There’s no doubt that critics of hydraulic fracturing — a practice colloquially known as fracking that involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into underground rock to free vast reserves of gas — have some legitimate concerns. There have been documented cases of leaking gas ruining nearby well water, of air pollution and of problems from the waste the drilling generates. Experts say those are important parts of the story — but far from the whole story. “With proper regulation and enforcement, gas provides a very substantial health benefit in reducing air pollution,” compared with coal-fired power plants, said Daniel Schrag, director of Harvard University’s Center for the Environment. That is a theme not adequately covered in the debate over fracking, agreed Michael Greenstone, an environmental economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a former top adviser to the Obama administration. Greenstone is studying the local health effects of fracking, but he said it’s not scientifically accurate to ignore “the tremendous health gains” from the coalto-gas shift. “Honestly,” he said, “the environmentalists need to hear it.” The main celebrity antifracking campaign took off last summer when Ono and Lennon, her son, founded Artists Against Fracking. Their family farm sits near gas reserves in New York, and they fear fracking might be allowed in the area. Some celebrities also speak out independently, or through other groups. Among the claims: — Ono, at a news conference: “Fracking kills. And it doesn’t just kill us, it kills the land, nature and eventually the whole world.” — Robert Redford, in a radio ad: “Fracking is a bad deal for local communities. It’s been linked to drinking water contamination all across the country. It threatens the clean air we breathe.” — Alec Baldwin, in an editorial in the Huffington Post, described a scenario in which companies promise people “some economic benefit, deliver a pittance in actual compensation, desecrate their environment and then split The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

And we could be doing that in New York.” While such claims may contain a kernel of truth, they are at best subjective and at worst misleading or even hypocritical, some environmentalists say. “In truth, celebrities are rich, and they use far more energy and resources than anyone else. There’s this grass-roots NIMBY revolt against fracking,” said Michael Shellenberger, who heads the Breakthrough Institute, a nonpartisan Oakland-based environmental think tank that is releasing a report this month on the environmental benefits of natural gas. Many self-labeled “fractivists” say drilling ruins drinking water and farms — think the fictional disaster spun in the Matt Damon vehicle “Promised Land” — and makes no sense, since it’s possible to quickly transform our society to one that’s powered by clean, renewable energy such as wind and solar. Yet the boom has created jobs, reduced imports of oil and gas, and lowered energy bills. In contrast with Baldwin’s claim, local landowners have received billions of dollars in royalties, and the typical royalty of 18.75 percent is higher than what many novelists, actors or musicians are paid. Pennsylvania dairy farmer Shawn Georgetti said he was struggling before signing a gas lease. Now, he’s been able to buy better and more fuel-efficient equipment and says the drilling hasn’t caused any problems. “It’s a lot more fun to farm,” he said. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The poor rich. With Washington gridlocked again over whether to raise their taxes, it turns out wealthy families already are paying some of their biggest federal tax bills in decades even as the rest of the population continues to pay at historically low rates. President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress say the wealthy must pay their fair share if the federal government is ever going to fix its finances and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level. A new analysis, however, shows that average tax bills for high-income families rarely have been higher since the Congressional Budget Office began tracking the data in 1979. Middle- and low-income families aren’t paying as much as they used to. For 2013, families with incomes in the top 20 percent of the nation will pay an average of 27.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a research organization based in Washington. The top 1 percent of households, those with incomes averaging $1.4 million, will pay an average of 35.5 percent. Those tax rates, which include income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, are among the highest since 1979. The average family in the bottom 20 percent of households won’t pay any federal taxes. Instead, many families in this group will get payments from the federal government by claiming more in credits than they owe in taxes, including payroll taxes. That will give them a negative tax rate. “My sense is that high-income people feel abused by being targeted always for more taxes,” Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center, said. “You can understand why they feel that way.” Last week, Senate Democrats were unable to advance their proposal to raise taxes on some wealthy families for the second time this year as part of a package to avoid automatic spending cuts. The bill failed Thursday when Republicans blocked it. A competing Republican bill that included no tax increases also failed, and the automatic spending cuts began taking effect Friday. The issue, however, isn’t going away. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress insist that any future deal to reduce government borrowing must include a mix of spending cuts and more tax revenue. “I am prepared to do hard things and to push my Democratic friends to do hard things,” Obama said Friday. “But what I can’t do is ask middle-class families, ask seniors, ask students to bear the entire Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It’s not fair. It’s not right.” On Sunday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Republicans are committed to reducing the budget deficit without raising taxes again. In a separate broadcast interview, White House economic adviser Gene Sperling called that position unreasonable. The Democrats’ sequester bill included the “Buffett Rule,” named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It gradually would phase in a requirement that people making more than $1 million a year pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes. The rule targets millionaires who make most of their money from investments — capital gains and qualified dividends, which have a top tax rate of 20 percent. “It’s fairness,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. “We’re not raising taxes with the Buffett rule as much as we are correcting an inequity in terms of, one guy can be working at one end of the hall and because he’s working with hedge funds, he gets taxed at 20 percent. Another guy at the other end of the hall is on a salary at an insurance company and he has to pay (39.6 percent). That’s just not fair.” On average, households making more than $1 million this year will pay 37.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. But there are exceptions. For example, the Internal Revenue Service tracks tax returns for the 400 highestpaid filers each year. Those taxpayers made an average of $202 million in 2009, the latest year available. Their average federal income tax rate: 19.9 percent. That’s still higher than the tax rate paid by most middle-income families, but not by much. The middle 20 percent of U.S. households — those making an average of $46,600 — will pay an average of 13.8 percent of their income in federal taxes for this year, according to the Tax Policy Center. Over the past three decades, the average federal tax rate for this group has been about 16 percent. The Associated Press analyzed two sets of data to compare tax burdens over time. The CBO produces data from 1979 to 2009; the center has overlapping data from 2004 through 2013. Both get tax data from the IRS, but they use slightly different methodologies to calculate federal tax burdens. Still, their numbers track closely enough to make some general observations. For example, it is clear that for 2013, average tax bills for the wealthy will be among the highest since 1979. It also is clear that federal taxes for middleand low-income households will stay well below their averages for the same period.

Lopez Publisher 740-446-3242, ext. 15 slopez@civitasmedia.com Stephanie Filson Managing Editor �Military leaders welcome House GOP budget bill WASHINGTON (AP) — A massive House Republican measure to keep the government operating would ease some of the pain of automatic spending cuts slamming the Defense Department, the nation’s senior military leaders told Congress on Tuesday. Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff painted a dire picture of construction projects on hold, limits on aircraft carriers patrolling the waters and even a delay in the expansion of Arlington National Cemetery due to the $43 billion in across-the-board cuts that kicked in Friday. Problematic for the Pentagon has been the combination of the automatic cuts and the government still operating at last year’s spending levels. The GOP measure unveiled on Monday would give the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments soughtafter flexibility in spending that other agencies lack. The military leaders embraced that prospect, a political boost for the GOP measure just days before the House votes. “It mitigates at least one-third of our problem,” said Army Gen. Raymond Odierno, who earlier told the panel that the budget cuts and last year’s spending level had left the service with an $18 billion shortfall in operation and maintenance plus $6 billion in cuts in other programs. Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the chief of Naval Operations, said the bill would be “almost night and day,” with a shortfall of $8.6 billion in operations reduced by more than half. “We can get back to the covenant that we have with the combatant commanders to get almost all of that back,” Greenert told a House Appropriations panel. “We get two carrier overhauls. We get a carrier new construction. … We get all the military construction. Marine Corps Gen. James Amos said he was heartened by the legislation. The GOP measure would fund dayto-day federal operations through September — and avert a potential government shutdown later this month. The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered Friday by President Barack Obama after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. The GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House on Thurs- The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com day in hopes of preventing a government shutdown when a six-month spending bill passed last September runs out March 27. Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said that bipartisan talks were under way on changes that the Senate would make to the House measure. He said that the House GOP leadership doesn’t expect the Senate to simply approve the House bill without changes. “There seems to be no interest on either side in having a kind of confrontational government shutdown scenario,” McConnell said. The administration weighed in Tuesday with a statement criticizing the House GOP measure for failing to provide enough money to implement Obama’s signature legislation to overhaul financial regulation and the U.S. health care system. The statement, however, did not threaten a veto. The White House said the measure “raises concerns about the government’s ability to protect consumers, avoid deep cuts in critical services that families depend on, and implement critical domestic priorities such as access to quality and affordable health care.” Senate Democrats want to add more detailed budgets for domestic Cabinet agencies, but it will take GOP help to do so. The House measure also denies money sought by Obama and his Democratic allies to implement the signature 2010 laws overhauling the health care system and financial regulation. The impact of the new cuts was proving slow to reach the broader public. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, in separate testimony on Capitol Hill, acknowledged that it will be “several months” before meat inspectors are furloughed as part of the across-theboard spending cuts. Vilsack told a House Agriculture Committee hearing that each meat inspector will likely be furloughed 11 or 12 days, instead of 15 days as the Obama administration earlier claimed. The White House has used the meat inspector furloughs as one example of how the cuts will affect the economy. Meatpacking plants cannot operate without inspectors, so the furloughs will cause plants across the country to shut down intermittently. Vilsack said the process will be complicated because of negotiations with labor unions that represent the meat inspectors. Members of the committee pressed Vilsack on whether the department could find ways to make other cuts in the food safety budget instead of cutting inspector salaries. But Vilsack said 87 percent of that agency’s budget goes to inspectors and there is no other way to do it under the rules of the sequester. “No matter how you slice it, no matter how you dice it, there is nothing you can do without impacting the front-line inspectors,” he said. Vilsack also complained about the structure of the across-the-board cuts. “The problem with a sequester is that it doesn’t give you any flexibility,” he said. Separately, the Energy Department told Washington Gov. Jay Inslee that the automatic cuts may impede attempts to close the radioactive waste tanks leaking at Hanford Nuclear Reservation, with possible furloughs or layoffs. The across-the-board cuts would carve $85 billion in spending from the government’s $3.6 trillion budget for this year, concentrating the cuts in the approximately $1 trillion allocated to the day-to-day agency operating budgets set by Congress each year. Those so-called discretionary accounts received big boosts in the first two years of Obama’s presidency, when Democrats controlled Congress, but have borne the brunt of the cuts approved as Obama and Republicans have grappled over the budget. Both Democrats and Republicans for months have warned that the cuts are draconian and would slow the growth of the economy, costing hundreds of thousands of jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, for instance, says they would slow the economy by 0.6 percent and cost about 750,000 jobs. The military already is facing a cut in projected spending of $487 billion over 10 years, reductions established in the budget law that Obama and congressional Republicans embraced in August 2011. The automatic cuts are in addition to those cuts. The House bill would boost the Pentagon’s operation and maintenance account to $173.4 billion, about $10 billion more than last year’s level but slightly below Obama’s request. Other accounts — personnel, procurement, and research and development — would face cuts to make up the difference. 60386725 Ex-DEA heads, UN panel urge US to nullify pot laws Michael Tarm The Associated Press CHICAGO — Eight former U.S. drug chiefs warned the federal government Tuesday that time is running out to nullify Colorado and Washington’s new laws legalizing recreational marijuana use, and a United Nations agency also urged challenges to the measures it says violate international treaties. The former Drug Enforcement Administration chiefs criticized Barack Obama’s administration for moving too slowly to file a lawsuit that would force the states to rescind the legislation. Marijuana is illegal under federal law. “My fear is that the Justice Department will do what they are doing now: do nothing and say nothing,” former DEA administrator Peter Bensinger told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. “If they don’t act now, these laws will be fully implemented in a matter of months.” Bensinger, who lives in the Chicago area, said if the federal government doesn’t immediately sue the states it’ll risk creating “a domino effect” in which other states legalize marijuana too. The statement from the DEA chiefs came the same day the International Narcotics Control Board, a U.N. agency, made its appeal in an annual drug report, calling on federal officials to act to “ensure full compliance with the international drug control treaties on its entire territory.” But Brian Vicente, co-author of the Colorado pot legalization law, said a handful of North American countries have expressed support for legalization. “You have two states revolting and they’re saying it doesn’t work in their state and their community and it sends a strong message globally,” he said. A lawyer who led Washington’s legalization campaign said the focus should be on reconciling the Colorado and Washington votes with federal law and treaty obligations. “Ultimately, we do need to see these laws and treaties change,” Alison Holcomb said Tuesday. “We’re not going to get resolution overnight.” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told a meeting of state attorneys general last week that he is still reviewing the laws but that his review is winding down. Asked Monday for a comment on the criticism from the former DEA administrators, Holder spokeswoman Allison Price would only say, “The Department of Justice is in the process of reviewing those initiatives.” 60398709 Wednesday, March 6, 2013 �The Daily Sentinel WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Joiner heads Rio Grande trio Randy Payton Special to OVP Submitted photo Gallia Academy sophomore Cole Tawney, middle, is flanked by assistant coach Daniel Tench, left, and GAHS head coach Scott Stanley, right, at the top of Value City Arena last weekend during the 2013 OHSAA Wrestling Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Tawney finishes fifth at state wrestling tournament Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — The tradition continues … and so does the history. The Gallia Academy wrestling program scored at least one point for a fourth consecutive postseason while earning its fourth podium finish in four years this past weekend at the 2013 OHSAA Division II Wrestling Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. The Blue Devils received an historic effort from firsttime state qualifier Cole Tawney, who became the youngest grappler in school history to both win a match and also place within his weight class. Tawney — who finished the Thursday, Friday and Saturday sessions with a 4-2 overall mark — placed fifth overall as a sophomore in the 120-pound division. Tawney — who qualified for state by placing fourth at the Goshen district meet — lasted only 24 seconds in his opening match on Thursday after being by pinned by eventual state runner-up Joey Miller of Carrollton. Tawney, however, regained his composure in the consolation round, winning three straight matches to secure a spot in the top-eight of the 120-pound weight class. Those trio of wins included a pinfall win (4:11) over C.J. Ball of Rossford, a 7-2 decision over Lyle Plummer of Dayton Chaminade-Julienne, and a 9-2 decision over Jerad Patterson of Byesville Meadowbrook. Tawney suffered a 17-2 technical fall to eventual thirdplace finisher Brent Moore of St. Paris Graham in a consolation semifinal Saturday morning, but ultimately closed his weekend with a pinfall victory (1:39) over Conner Nemec of Mantua Crestwood. The triumph over Nemec allowed Tawney to secure fifth place overall, and also allowed the sophomore to join Jeptha Robinson (1988), Jared Gravely (2010), Brandon Taylor (2012) and Zack Tackett (2012) as the only podium finishers in Blue Devil history. Tawney — who joined Ben Doolittle (2002) as the only GAHS sophomores to ever qualify for state — also became just the ninth Blue Devil to advance past the district level while becoming the only underclassman to ever place at the state tournament. Tawney — who finishes the 2012-13 campaign with a 42-6 overall mark — scored 12 points for the Blue Devils, allowing GAHS to finish in a three-way tie for 41st with both Parma Padua Franciscan and Springfield Northwestern. His dozen points are also the second-best total ever produced by an individual grappler from GAHS, with Taylor setting the record last season with 18 points and a school-best third place finish. As the sophomore reflected on his three-day weekend in Columbus, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of achievement. He also noted that it was very educational experience. “It was a really great weekend for me because I wasn’t really sure how well I would do, especially after losing that first match the way I did,” Tawney said. “I ended up fighting my way back through the consolation round with three straight wins and ultimately made it to the podium, and it even ended with a pinfall win. “I got to stand on the podium with some great wrestlers like Nathan Tomasello, a four-time state champ. It was a great eye-opener for the next few years of my career.” A total of 85 programs scored at least one point at the state meet, and Gallia Academy was the highest finisher from the southeast Ohio sectionals. St. Paris Graham won the Division II team title with 155.5 points, while Perry was the D-2 runner-up with 87.5 points. Just four years ago, Gallia Academy had only four wrestlers that had ever made it to state — and only one that had ever placed. Those numbers have now more than doubled, proving that the Blue Devils are starting to become more than your average wrestling program. “It’s another great end to another great season for us,” GAHS first-year head coach Scott Stanley said. “We are kind of building a tradition, at least I feel, in going to See TAWNEY |‌ 8 We’ve had the Freshman of the Year for two straight years now and we’re getting better. We’re taking small steps, but we’re getting better. I think he was worthy of the first team, but we needed to have a little more team success for that to happen. Still, to be Second Team as freshman in our league is huge.” The 10-player all-conference first team was comprised of the University of Pikeville’s Jamar “Duece” Briscoe and Trevor Setty, Antonio Bumpus and Benito Santiago, Jr. from the University of the Cumberlands, Bluefield College’s Byron Carpenter, Kalen Kimberland and DeAntra Scott from Lindsey Wilson College, Tyler Morgan of Shawnee State University, Georgetown College’s Vic Moses and Vernon Payne from Campbellsville University. In addition to Joiner, the All-MSC Second Team included Shawnee State’s Jeremy Bennington; Deon Boyce and Javon Moore from the University of Virginia’s College at Wise; Daronte’ Clark and Wes Hanspard of Lindsey Wilson; Campbellsville’s Justin Ennis; Kearsten Marion from Bluefield; Arthur McSee JOINER ‌| 8 Notre Dame nips Eagles, 43-42 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ATHENS, Ohio — Unfortunaltly for the Eagles, it’s not over until it’s over. The Eastern boys basketball team led by five points with a minute remaining in Monday night’s district semi-final at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University. Portsmouth Notre Dame outscored the Eagles 8-to-2 over the final 60 seconds of play to take the 43-42 victory. The Eagles (9-15) were bitten by the turnover bug early, which allowed Notre Dame (20-3) to jump out to a 12-to-10 advantage at the end of the first period. The Titans controlled the glass in the second stanza and expanded their lead to 2016 at halftime. NDHS scored the opening two points of the second half but the Green and White rallied with a 12-0 run to take the lead. Each team added four more points in the third period and the Eagles led 32-26 with eight minutes remaining. Notre Dame cut the EHS lead to three points early in the fourth but the Eagles stretched it out to 40-35 with one minute remaining in the game. An old-fashioned three-point play by Adam Cooper cut the EHS lead to two points at the 35 second mark but Kirk Pullins sank a pair of free-throws to push their lead back to four just a second later. A three pointer by Cooper at the 26 second mark put the Titans within one point. The Eagles turned the ball over on the en- suing inbound play and committed a foul on Kevin Lewis. The foul was charged to Max Carnahan and it was his fifth. Lewis sank both free throws and took the 43-42 victory. “What we just did right there was amazing, playing the number one team in our bracket and we out played them for 31 minutes and about 30 seconds,” said second year Eagles coach Corey Britton. “What we did out there was flat out amazing and I couldn’t be happier or more proud of our kids, we just didn’t finish. There’s no being upset, we did everything we were supposed to do except win that basketball game.” The Eagles had just three players score in the game, led by Pullins with 17. Carnahan marked 14 for EHS, while Chase Cook added 11 to round out the scoring column. Pullins also led the Eagles on the glass with eight rebounds, followed by Carnahan with five. Carnahan led the Eagles in assists with six and steals with four. “He’s a heck of a player that Carnahan,” Notre Dame coach Matt Mader said. “We knew that we were going to have our hands full with him. It’s his vision, he sees the floor and makes everybody around him better.” As a team Eastern had 30 rebounds, nine assists and six steals. The Eagles committed 17 turnovers and 11 fouls. Carnahan was the lone Eagle to foul out. EHS shot 3-of-4 (75 percent) from the free throw line and 18-of-43 (41.9 percent) from the Alex Hawley | Daily Sentinel Eastern junior Chase Cook shoots a jumper during Monday night’s district semi-final in Athens. The Eagles fell to Notre Dame 43-42. field, including 3-of-11 (27.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Carnahan accounted for two EHS triples, while Cook had the other. “From what we’ve seen they (Eastern) did what they normally do,” said Mader. “They did some things that gave us problems with their physicality and their length. We didn’t shoot well outside or finish well in the paint but we were able to claw and grind it out.” Notre Dame was led by Ogg with 14 points and Cooper with 10. J.P. Kayser marked nine points, while Lewis added eight and Michael Mader finished with two. Ogg and Lewis led the Titans with eight rebounds apiece. As a team NDHS finished with 36 rebounds, 13 turnovers and 11 team fouls. The Titans shot 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) from the line and 18-of-58 (31 percent) from the field, including 2-of-17 (11. 8 percent) from three-point range. “I couldn’t have asked for a better group of seniors they are absolutely amazing,” said Britton. “When I took this job there wasn’t a whole lot of promise and those seniors have carried us for two straight years. It just absolutely brings tears to my eyes to see them go.” This marks the final game for Eastern seniors Max Carnahan, Zakk Heaton, Kirk Pullins and Troy Gantt. “At one point we were 3-12 this year. The seniors and upperclassmen decided they wanted a different season,” added Britton. “They wanted a different legacy and we will see 2013 for a long time on that sectional championship banner.” URG women’s basketball has three players recognized by MSC Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three members of the University of Rio Grande’s women’s basketball team were among those recognized by the MidSouth Conference over the week for their performances both on the court and in the classroom.

Sophomore guards Travis Elliott and Evan Legg both were among those who received Academic AllMSC honors. Both teams were named prior to the start of the MSC Tournament at the league’s annual awards banquet in Frankfort, Ky. “It’s always good when you have individuals honored for their accomplishments,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “D.D. Joiner more than earned the Freshman of the Year and there were some good freshmen in the league. The awards that Travis and Evan received - that’s why they’re here. They take being a student-athlete very seriously and I’m proud of them both. They work hard in the classroom and on the court.” Joiner led the RedStorm in scoring at 15.3 points per game, including a career-high 42 points in a double overtime win at the University of the Cumberlands. The 42-point outing ranked as the top singlegame performance in the conference this season and tied fourth-highest single-game total in NAIA Division I this season. Joiner, a native of Columbus, Ohio, appeared in 28 games for Rio, including 24 starts, and also averaged 4.6 rebounds per contest. He connected on 45.7 percent of his overall field goal attempts (164-for359), while shooting 32.7 percent from three-point range (48-for-147) and 76.1 percent from the free throw line (51-for-67). Joiner becomes Rio’s second straight Freshman of the Year selection.

You genuinely have a great deal of compassion for people in general. You also express an intensity that is unique to you. If you are single, you have the opportunity to meet someone quite special anytime from this summer on. If you are attached, the two of you will fulfill a long-term dream or desire. You also might opt to socialize more. CAPRICORN can be a loyal friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Take charge if you want to maintain some form of control. Many different factors are at work here. Listen to different perspectives, and your openness will help make minds meet. Others might express their relief to find agreement. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Recognize your limits. Honor what is happening between you and someone else. Laughter comes through at the strangest moments. A change of plans becomes possible more than a few times. Someone can’t seem to make up his or her mind. Tonight: Let your imagination lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could see a matter very differently from how you did in the past. A partner might be trying to make an adjustment right now. Welcome this attitude, and work with this person. The outcome will be more trust. Tonight: Togetherness works, though a discussion could get heated. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others. Your sense of humor emerges when you’re an observer. Be smart, and realize that your perspective might not be welcomed. A loved one could be quite serious, and he or she will be offended if you are not sympathetic. Tonight: Go along with someone’s ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you want to do something different, do it; however, know that you will have to convince an associate that this is OK. Revitalizing or transforming an area of your daily life could make a big difference. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Get into the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand that your ingenuity will be needed to combine various ideas from different people, all of whom believe they are right. This collaboration depends on your ability to see where there is a common thread. Have a serious discussion. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Listen to a friend you identify with. This person might be transforming in front of your eyes. Know your limits here and honor them. Realize what is going on between the two of you. If you can get past your control issues, you’ll be on cruise control. Tonight: Love the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand the viability of a change in your thought process and your actions. If you keep hitting a dead end, a change of direction certainly seems more than appropriate. Resist rigidity Give a new outlook a chance, and you just might like how you feel. Tonight: Hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH You might need to be more grounded than others. Let go of trying to make everyone more aware, and simply take care of the matter at hand. Your sense of humor comes through in a big way. You know what works. Watch as others grasp at some wild ideas. Tonight: Off shopping. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might be clear and direct, but others aren’t right now. You might need to revise your plans. Fatigue marks a never-ending conversation. Be willing to change your responses, and see what happens. The situation might flow better than you think. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could decide to go on a brief vacation as you look around and see what is going on. You want to be centered and remain detached. Realize your liabilities and keep smiling. The less said, the better. Tonight: Early to bed. Get a good night’s sleep. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want rather than what you think you need to do. If you are not true to yourself, you could have difficulties. Friends change their tune quickly, which increases your level of anxiety. Don’t criticize others’ opinions. Tonight: Where your friends are.
