McClure, 78 50 cents daily THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 39 Southern suspends two following bus incident Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE — A bus driver and bus monitor have been suspended by the Southern Local Board of Education. The board meet in special session on Monday evening to hear complaints against employees. Those employees, Misty Evans and Melissa Reedy, have both been suspended five days without pay. According to Southern Local Superintendent Tony Deem, on Tuesday, Feb. 26, a preschool student was left on the bus, sleeping, for over an hour. Reedy was the driver of the bus, and Evans was the bus monitor. Both employees were given the opportunity to speak before the board during Monday’s meeting prior to disciplinary action. Following executive session, the board voted on two resolutions presented by Deem with regard to the employees. The resolution regarding Evans reads as follows, The Superintendent recommends that Mrs. Misty Evans be suspended for five (5) days without pay, for good and just cause, specifically failure to clear the bus and deliver all students safely to class, resulting in a student being left on the bus. The resolution regarding “The District is reviewing safety procedures and is offering additional and refresher training for all drivers.” — Tony Deem Superintendent Reedy reads as follows, The Superintendents recommends that Mrs. Melissa Reedy be suspended for five (5) days without pay, for good and just cause, specifically failure to conduct post trip inspection resulting in a student being left on the bus. Both resolutions were passed by a 4-1 vote, with board member Peggy Gibbs voting no on each. Deem stated that both Reedy and Evans apologized to the board during Monday’s meeting and were very remorseful. In addition to the suspension, they must also complete additional safety training. Both suspensions began on March 5. A second bus driver was suspended for five days in late February in an unrelated incident. Charlie Lawrence was suspended on Feb. 25 for five days without pay. Lawrence returned the bus to the bus garage after hitting a tree limb hanging over the road instead of staying at the scene of the accident. “The District is reviewing safety procedures and is offering additional and refresher training for all drivers,” said Deem in the wake of the recent suspensions. Present at the meeting were board members Dennie Hill, Denny Evans, Paul Harris, John Hoback and Gibbs.

Council approved applying for loan forgiveness and possible grant funding for the Phase II water project. Currently the village has been approved for 30 percent loan forgiveness on the project, but could receive a higher percentage of loan forgiveness through re-applying. Completion of the project would mean that the village would have new distribution lines and updated wells. The village would also be able to connect with Tuppers Plains Chester water to serve as a backup as needed in case of an outage. The village would also be able to serve as a backup for Tuppers Plains Chester. Members of council and the mayor stated that the project would be beneficial to the village allowing for a “new” system to be in place that would last for many years to come. Work on the strip mall to be built in the business district is expected to begin soon. According to conversation, the building will be designed similar to Home National Bank with the brick work and siding. Tentatively, it is to house the Southern Local administrative offices, a restaurant and auto parts store. Mayor Scott Hill said that traffic mirrors are being ordered to be placed at Tyree Blvd. and Oak Grove Road. The county is to order the mirrors, with the village paying for one. The water line to be placed in the Sycamore Street area will be put in place as soon as the grant agreement on the project is received. Marshal Kevin Dugan asked council about the possible purchase of a new police cruiser. Dugan is to check into the cost of a new cruiser and the value of the old one if it were to be sold. Present at the meeting were council members Ron Clark, Dale Hart, Chad Hubbard, Ike Spencer, Tim Hill, and George Cummins, Hill, clerk/treasurer David Spencer, and Dugan. Commissioners approve jail contracts Staff Report Senior Center offers new exercise program Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Piloxing, a combination of Pilates and boxing, which is geared to not only a variety of physical health improvements, but a self-confidence and ability to promote personal empowerment in everyday life, has been added to the exercise programming at the Meigs Senior Citizens Center. Tracey Smith is instructor in the new exercise program with classes being held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. “We have the half-pound weighted gloves that you use in Piloxing, so just come in your workout clothes,” she said. She described Piloxing which is a mix of Pilates and boxing, as a new inter-disciplinary program which is geared to making women more powerful while assisting them in developing a better self image. That is achieved, said Smith, through dance moves which incorporate the use of gloves to add a muscular and cardio challenge to the movements. She emphasized that the program is suitable to all ages, and that anyone interested is welcome to come by and watch Piloxing in action. Piloxing is another component of exercising for better health which is being added to other fitness lifestyle classes offered at the Center. Spin classes and lifestyle weight management along with personal training by professional, certified trainers are available. In the Wellness Center is a variety of exercise equipment including treadmills, recumbent bicycles, rowing machines, elliptical trainers, weights and weight machines are available. An emphasis of the Senior Center programming is on living well while aging recognizing that regular exercise and socializing are components of a healthy lifestyle. tdsnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners approved contracts to house prisoners during last week’s meeting.

Horse hay and pasture workshop slated for April Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com NELSONVILLE — Pasture and hay management for horses will be the subject of a workshop being held Saturday, April 20 at Hocking College by the Athens Soil and Water Conservation District and the Ohio Forage and Grassland Council. The Equine Pasture and Hay Management Workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hocking College, 3301 Hocking Parkway in Nelsonville. The workshop will cover information on pasture management, soil fertility, selection of forage species, tall fescue management, horse nutrition on pasture, manure management, and a pasture walk covering plant identification and grazing paddock system design. The day will end with a session on hay quality and evaluation. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sample of their own hay for evaluation. Bob Hendershot, retired NRCS State Grassland Conservation and now part-time ODNR-DSWR Grazing Specialist will be leading the discussion. Hendershot helped develop the Forage for Horses program and has presented this material across the country. This workshop will provide tips to make better use of your horse pasture. Improving the productivity of your pastures can reduce the amount of hay needed and a well-managed pasture can provide a large portion of a horse’s forage requirement mid-April through mid-November. Horses grazing well-managed paddocks will spread their manure over the pasture instead of in loafing areas or in their stalls. Healthy grass and legume plants are more productive if given the opportunity to regrow in-between grazing events. You can improve forage growth by dividing the pasture into smaller paddocks and rotate the animals among the separate paddocks. Managing the forage is an important concept to understand to protect the environment, soil, water, plants and animals. Weeds compete with forage plants for moisture, sunlight and nutrients. Grazing management can keep most weeds out. Horse owners need to be aware of toxic plants and their control measures. A pasture that is continuously grazed, over-grazed, or has inadequate soil fertility can make weed problems even worse. Selecting the right forage species for the use and the soil type can help in providing a healthy pasture. Horse grazing areas should be long and narrow rectangles because horses tend to graze in a linear fashion different than cattle. The location of animal watering facilities is also a concern in designing a grazing system. This information and more will be discussed at the workshop. Registration is limited to 50 participants and needed by April 15. To register contact the Athens SWCD at 69 South Plains Road, The Plains, OH 45780, or call (740) 797-9686 or 800-582-8890 or email jillmontle@athensswcd. org. A registration fee of $20 for the first participant from a farm includes a 400-plus page 3-ring notebook, pasture stick, weed identification guide, snack and lunch. And an additional $10 registration fee for each additional participant from the same operation includes refreshment and lunch. �Thursday, March 7, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Community Calendar Local Briefs Thursday, March 7 CHESTER — The Chester Shade Historical Association will meet at 7 p.m. at the Academy.

But Paul has previously said that answer is insufficient because the issue is not whether the federal government intends to hit terror targets with drones in the U.S., but whether it believes it has the authority to do so. The committee cleared Brennan’s nomination by a vote of 12-3, with four Republicans on the committee siding with the eight Democrats. If confirmed, Brennan would replace Michael Morell, the CIA’s deputy director who has been acting director since David Petraeus resigned in November after acknowledging an affair with his biographer. “He’s got a whole chain of duties as the No. 2 and it’s hard to be No. 1 at the same time,” the committee’s chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Tuesday of Morell. “This is an agency that most of us think needs oversight, needs supervision and needs direction. It needs a director.” The Republican vice chairman of the committee, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., voted against the nomination because he didn’t think Brennan would create the type of “trust relationship” that needs to exist between the agency and Congress. But Chambliss said he would not encourage his GOP colleagues to try and hold up Brennan’s installation at the CIA. Republicans had threatened to delay a vote unless the White House also delivered more detailed records about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. “I don’t intend to encourage a filibuster of Mr. Brennan,” Chambliss said following the committee’s vote. “I think it will run its normal course and he’ll probably be confirmed.” Brennan so far has escaped the harsh treatment that former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the president’s choice to lead the Defense Department, received from Senate Republicans. But Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have said they will oppose Brennan’s nomination on the Senate floor if they don’t get classified information, including emails among top U.S. national security officials, detailing the Obama administration’s actions immediately following the attack last September in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Feinstein said the White House has supplied the “great bulk” of the Benghazi records, and lawmakers are awaiting just “a few odds and ends that need to come.” Brennan currently serves as Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser in the White House. He was nominated by the president in early January and the Intelligence Committee held his confirmation hearing on Feb. 7. But action on the appointment stalled as committee members wrangled with the White House over the classified legal opinions prepared by the Justice Department that outline the use of unmanned spy planes to kill al-Qaida suspects overseas, including American citizens. The White House released two of 11 legal opinions to the Intelligence Committee just hours before Brennan’s confirmation hearing. Two other memos had already been released to the committee. Intelligence Committee members had argued they can’t perform adequate oversight without reviewing the contents of the opinions, but the White House had resisted requests for full disclosure. Just hours before voting on Brennan’s nomination, Feinstein announced the White House had agreed to provide all the opinions. Feinstein attributed the White House’s resistance Ohio Valley Forecast Thursday: A chance of flurries before 8 a.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 42. Northwest wind 6 to 8 mph.

But the committee viewed the opinions as the legal advice that underwrites possible actions by U.S. intelligence agencies that Congress is charged with overseeing. “So there are different views of this,” Feinstein said. Brennan vigorously defended the use of drone strikes during his confirmation hearing. He declined to say whether he believes waterboarding, which simulates drowning, amounted to torture. But he called the practice “reprehensible” and said it should never be done again. Obama ordered waterboarding banned shortly after taking office. Drone strikes are employed only as a “last resort,” Brennan told the committee. But he also said he had no qualms about going after U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in September 2011. A drone strike in Yemen killed alAwlaki and Samir Khan, both U.S. citizens. A drone strike two weeks later killed al-Awlaki’s 16-yearold son, a Denver native. Brennan spent 25 years at the CIA before moving in 2003 from his job as deputy executive director of the agency to run the Terrorist Threat Integration Center. He later worked as interim director of the center’s successor organization, the National Counterterrorism Center. When Bush’s second term began in 2005, Brennan left government to work for a company that provides counterterror analysis to federal agencies. After Obama took office in 2009, he returned to the federal payroll as the president’s top counterterrorism adviser in the White House.

Welcome to the new digital bookcase, where traditional ink-and-paper textbooks have given way to iPads and book bags are getting lighter. Publishers update students’ books almost instantly with the latest events or research. Schools are increasingly looking to the hand-held tablets as a way to sustain students’ interest, reward their achievements and, in some cases, actually keep per-student costs down. “We must use technology to empower teachers and improve the way students learn,” said Joel Klein, a former New York City schools’ chief who now leads News Corp.’s education tablet program. “At its best, education technology will change the face of education by helping teachers manage the classroom and personalize instruction.” News Corp. introduced their Amplify tablet during a breakfast Wednesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. Priced at $299, the 10inch unit runs on a school’s wireless Internet system and comes with software for teachers to watch each student’s activities, offer instant polls and provide anonymous quizzes to gauge student understanding. Orders placed by June 30 will be ready for the start of the school year in the fall, officials at Rupert Murdoch’s company said, adding yet another platform for schools to consider. Putting a device in every student’s hand is not a piein-the-sky dream. Some 2,000 schools already have partnered with Google to use its lightweight Chromebooks, which start at $199. Some 20 million students and teachers are already using them, company officials said. And a study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project found that more than 40 percent of students or teachers use some sort of tablet in their Advanced Placement and National Writing Project classrooms. “When you think about it, these are A.P. classes and National Writing Project classes, and 4 in 10 say they are using these devices,” said Kristen Purcell, associate director for research at Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. “That’s 6 in 10 who aren’t using them. We still have a lot of room for growth.” In coming years, growth seems to be the norm. Christine Quinn, the speaker of the New York City Council, has suggested replacing textbooks — they cost the city $100 million a year — with tablets. Schools in Los Angeles last month allocated $50 million to start buying tablets for every student; the project is expected to cost $500 million by the time it is completed. Schools in McAllen, Texas, distributed 6,800 Apple tablets last year at a cost of $20.5 million. But it’s not just the biggest school districts making the shift. The Eanes Independent School District in Austin is distributing more than 2,000 iPads to every student, from kindergarteners to high school seniors. The cost: $1.2 million. Students, unlike some of House votes to prevent March 27 federal shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans pushed legislation through the House on Wednesday to prevent a government shutdown this month while easing the short-term impact of $85 billion in spending cuts — at the same time previewing a longer-term plan to erase federal deficits without raising taxes. President Barack Obama pursued a different path as the GOP asserted its budget priorities. He arranged to have dinner with several Republican senators at a hotel near the White House in search of bipartisan support for a deficit-cutting approach that includes the higher taxes he seeks as well as savings from Medicare and other benefit programs that they stress. Any such compromise talks are unlikely to yield fruit for months, if then, although Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the author of the House Republican budget plan, expressed hope that some progress across party lines might be possible later in the year. “I think this whole thing will come to a crescendo this summer, and we’re going to have to talk to each other to get an agreement about how to delay a debt crisis, how to save this country from a fiscal train wreck that’s coming,” said Ryan, who was the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate last year. He added that he had spoken with Obama in recent days, but he declined to provide details. For now, the divided government’s immediate objectives are to prevent a shutdown of federal agencies on March 27, at the same time lawmakers and the White House look for ways to ease the impact of across-the-board spending cuts that kicked in less than a week ago. The legislation that cleared the House on a bipartisan vote of 267151 would do both, ensuring funding through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year while granting the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs greater flexibility in implementing their share of short-term spending cuts. “This is all about whether or not we shut down the government. This is a bill to keep the government operating,” said Rep. Hal Rogers, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. Minority Democrats appeared torn between a desire to support legislation to keep the government open and their goal of replacing at least half of the spending cuts with provisions to increase revenue. “Instead of closing tax loopholes for corporate jets, they want to cut 4 million meals on wheels,” the party’s House leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, said of Republicans. The bill passed with the support of 53 Democrats, more than a quarter of those voting. It now goes to the Senate, where Democrats and the White House are deep in negotiations with Republicans on changes that would give the Department of Homeland Security and other domestic agencies the same type of flexibility in administering the spending cuts that the Pentagon would receive. Obama’s dinner with Senate Republicans stemmed from a suggestion he made during a conversation recently with GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, according to a presidential aide. It also served as prelude to at least two trips to the Capitol in coming days as the chief executive meets with the rank and file of both parties in both houses. The spending legislation was still pending on the House floor when Ryan began pulling back the curtain on his plan to eliminate deficits in 10 years. The government ran a deficit of more than $1 trillion for the past budget year, about $200 billion less than the year before, and the total federal debt is about $16 trillion. To achieve his 10-year goal of producing a surplus, Ryan said he would incorporate the tax increases on the wealthy that Congress passed on Jan. 1 over the objections of many House Republicans. The hike translates into an estimated $600 billion or more in additional revenue to the government. The Wisconsin Republican also intends to retain the $85 billion in spending cuts, which translate to a savings of $900 billion or more over a decade, and renew without significant changes a controversial proposal to overhaul Medicare. Speaking of spending in general, he said, “We’re making additional modest changes to get to balance.” Ryan had earlier floated the possibility of accelerating his Medicare proposal so it would apply to individuals currently older than 55. Under pressure from some members of the rank and file, he decided against that — but drew criticism during the day from Democrats anyway. “Every time they put in a budget, the first thing they do is ask seniors to sacrifice the most,” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who heads the Democrats’ campaign committee. Ryan’s Medicare plan would give future retirees a choice between enrolling in the existing program or a roster of private alternatives, although in any case they would receive a monthly check from the government to defray the cost and be responsible for the difference. their parents, aren’t blinking. “The biggest challenge is that they’re growing up as digital natives, but when they get to the school door, they have to leave that at the door,” said Scott Kinney, who trains teachers on how to use Discovery Education’s products, which work on various platforms. “Kids are very comfortable with these things, so why aren’t we reaching them in a way that’s most beneficial to students?” Discovery, the top digital content provider to U.S. schools, recognizes its potential to keep students interested with the most up-to-date material. For instance, it updated its science lessons for students in grades six through high school to incorporate Superstorm Sandy within weeks of its making landfall. Students traced the path of the storm using digital maps, compared the changes in barometric pressure with wind speed and proposed cleanup plans for the region — even while cleanup crews were still working. That fast turnaround is one of the main advantages of shifting to digital textbooks. So, too, are their language functions. For instance, a student working on his homework with a parent who isn’t fluent in English can switch to Spanish. The textbooks can toggle between languages so students who aren’t native speakers can check their understanding. Another advantage: the digital books’ cost. Discovery’s lessons — branded “Techbooks” that run on laptops, desktops, iPads or other tablets — run between $38 and $55 per student for a six-year subscription. The average traditional textbook is $70 per student. More than a half-million students are using Discovery’s texts in 35 states on various platforms. But technology doesn’t guarantee success. “If the teacher doesn’t know how to use it, obviously it’s not going to make much difference,” said Mevlut Kaya, a computer teacher at Orlando Science Schools, a charter program that offered each student a leased iPad if he or she achieved a 3.5 grade point average. In classrooms at the private Avenues: The World School in New York City, students at all levels re- ceive an iPad and then receive an iPad and MacBook Air in middle school. The school doesn’t buy textbooks and, in most cases, teachers automatically send students their reading and homework assignments over the school’s wireless Internet network. It’s a system that’s normal for students, who often already have mastered the technology. “They live in the world where they have these distractions, where they have an iPad on their desk or a smartphone in their pocket,” said Dirk Delo, the school’s chief technology officer. That’s not to say there should be an instant shift, even technology evangelists warned. “All too often, the technology programs I observed seemed more focused on bells and whistles, gadgets and gizmos, than on improving learning,” Klein said. “And in many school districts, teachers have been handed technology they either don’t think is effective or don’t know how to use. The last thing we need is just another pile of unused laptops in the back or the classroom.” UN says 21 peacekeepers detained on Golan Heights UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Armed fighters linked to the Syrian opposition detained 21 U.N. peacekeepers Wednesday in the increasingly volatile zone separating Israeli and Syrian troops on the Golan Heights, a new escalation in the spillover of Syria’s civil war. The U.N. Security Council demanded their immediate and unconditional release. The capture comes a week after the announcement that a member of the peacekeeping force is missing. The force, known as UNDOF, was established in 1974 following the 1973 Yom Kippur war to monitor the disengagement of Israeli and Syrian forces and maintain a cease-fire. Israeli officials have grown increasingly jittery as the Syrian war moves closer to Israel. There have been several instances in which stray fire has landed in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, and Israel is concerned that Syrian weapons could fall into the hands of hostile groups and be used against Israel. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and Syria wants the land returned in exchange for peace. Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, the current Security Council president, said talks are under way between U.N. officials from the peacekeeping force and the captors. U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous, who briefed the council behind closed doors, identified the captors as being from a group associated with the Syrian armed opposition, Churkin said. “There was no fighting, according to his briefing to us,” Churkin said. “My understanding is that they took over the trucks in which the UNDOF personnel was moving around.” Churkin said the capture of the peacekeepers “is particularly unacceptable and bizarre” because the UNDOF peacekeepers are unarmed and their mission has nothing to do with Syria’s internal conflict. “They are there on a completely different mission so there is no reason at all under any circumstances, any kind of sick imagination to try to harm those people,” he said. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also condemned the capture of the 21 peacekeepers, U.N. deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey said. Del Buey said the U.N. observers were on a regular supply mission when they were stopped by approximately 30 armed fighters near an observation post that was damaged in heavy combat last weekend and had been evacuated. A video posted online by activists showed a group of armed rebels standing around at least three white U.N. vehicles with the words UNDOF on them, allegedly in the village of Jamlah in Daraa province. The video, circulated by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the peacekeepers being held by the rebels are 20 Filipinos. It accuses the peacekeepers of assisting the Syrian regime to redeploy in an area near the Golan that the fighters had seized a few days ago in battles that left 11 fighters and 19 regime forces dead. A man identified as Abu Qaed al-Faleh, spokesman for the Martyrs of Yarmouk Brigades, announced the group is holding the peacekeepers until Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces withdraw from Jamlah. “They will not be released until after Bashar Assad’s forces withdraw from the village of Jamlah bordering Israel,” the man said. Churkin urged countries with influence on the Syrian opposition to use it to help free the peacekeepers. He did not name any countries but Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are known to have been providing military aid to some Syrian rebel groups. The international community has been divided in its response to Syria’s conflict. The United States and other countries have supported Syria’s political opposition but have been reluctant to send weapons partly because of fears they may fall into the hands of extremists who have been gaining influence among the rebels. The Obama administration, however, announced last week that it would, for the first time, provide non-lethal aid directly to the rebels. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Thursday, March 7, 2013 Hugo Chavez: The last Dow record: My, Faithful to death how things have changed Dr. Paul Kengor There’s an old joke from the Cold War. It went like this: Hardline East German communist Walter Ulbricht (who erected the Berlin Wall) died and went to hell. There, the devil gave him a choice between the socialist sector and the capitalist sector. Devoted to the end, Ulbricht stuck to the faith, saying: “I’ll go to the socialist sector.” “Good choice,” averred the devil. “Over in the capitalist sector, they’re getting the full hellfire treatment. But in the socialist sector, they’ve run out of coal.” Say what you want of Hugo Chavez, of his tactics, of his beliefs, and (as many are doing) of perhaps where he might be right now, but this much is certain: he stuck to the faith. Many of us were downright amazed when Chavez, in his late 50s and desperately ill from cancer, opted to go to Cuba for treatment. It was a surefire death sentence. Only the most hopelessly devoted communist would be so naïve. Loaded with vast wealth he stole from his people, Chavez effectively chose acupuncture over the 21st-century healthcare widely available anywhere in the West. And yet, the Venezuelan dictator clung to his religion. He went to Havana. Chavez apparently gained some measure of comfort near the aging breast of his dying, beloved Fidel. He had so much in common with Castro, admiring the totalitarian’s unparalleled, unprecedented seizure of power and resources, all in the name of redistribution and “social justice.” Like Fidel, he pilfered enough riches from the ostracized affluent class to make himself one of the world’s wealthiest leaders. As he did, he churned the propaganda, blaming his nation’s every ill on his predecessors and on the alleged criminality of the very same rich—as Fidel has done, as the left generally has done. A few years back, my wife and I were in Washington meeting with an old friend from grad-school days, a native of Venezuela named Daria. When we introduced her to another acquaintance, she remarked with a sad smile, “I’m from Venezuela. We’re communist now.” In Chavez’s partial defense—and this isn’t saying much—he never achieved the scales of collectivism and depths of depravity of Fidel Castro, or of the world’s really bad communists. Venezuela didn’t become Cuba or the Soviet Union. Needless to say, Hugo Chavez was no Joe Stalin—even as, remarkably, he died on the 60th anniversary of Stalin’s death. Nonetheless, like any man of the left, he had his enemy groups, and he used them to full advantage. Some of these assorted villains were flagged in a curious Washington Post obituary which headlined Chavez as a “passionate” albeit “polarizing” figure. What earned him even this slight compliment from the Post? Who knows? The same article noted that Chavez referred to the Catholic Church hierarchy as “devils in vestments.” But perhaps the Post was impressed less with Chavez’s opprobrium for the Catholic Church than his encomiums for Barack Obama. Of course, Chavez was a big fan of Obama. He made this clear the first year of Obama’s presidency. In an extraordinary statement at the United Nations that September, Chavez sniffed, “It doesn’t smell of sulfur here anymore.” This was a swipe at former President George W. Bush.

It smells of hope.” Yes, even to Hugo Chavez, Barack Obama equaled hope; the theological virtue of Obama. The Venezuelan caudillo inspiringly appealed to David Axelrod’s legendary campaign slogan. And like Obama, Chavez just as quickly jettisoned the words of hope when less-inspiring rhetoric better suited his intentions. He excelled at blaming things on the rich, on profit seekers, on greedy corporations, on nefarious jet-owners and millionaires and billionaires, on banks, on investors, and, of course, on George W. Bush. Unlike Obama, who he spoke of in angelic terms, Chavez called George W. Bush a “devil.” Chavez often seemed to invoke the devil. Alinsky-like, Chavez constantly isolated his targets and demonized them, calling them “degenerates,” “squealing pigs,” and “counter-revolutionaries.” It was pure demagoguery. In this, and more, Hugo Chavez was faithful to the very end. Did he really think he would be healed in Havana? Was there no other hope? Or, in the end, maybe faith was all that Chavez had. He should have learned from millions of Cubans over the last 50plus years: faith in Fidel leads only to destruction and death.

That was when the Dow Jones industrial average last set a record high. It was a headier time back then: prefinancial crisis, pre-bailouts, pre-Great Recession. The stock market still felt like a party. The economy, salaries and investments seemed to go only up. Bernie Madoff was still running his Ponzi scheme. John Edwards was still a viable presidential candidate. Tiger Woods was still only known for his golf. The Dow, a stock index that is followed as a gauge for the rest of the market, hit its highest close, 14,253.77, on Tuesday. Compare that with the day five years, four months, three weeks and six days ago, when it set its previous high of 14,164.53, and my, how things have changed. Occupy what street? Back then, Bear Stearns still existed. So did Lehman Brothers, Wachovia and Washington Mutual. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were just mortgage lenders, not wards of the government. Far fewer people knew what it felt like to have their fortunes undone by a worldwide meltdown. The vitriol against the banking industry was still pretty tame. “Occupy Wall Street” wasn’t a thing. Mitt Romney, making a run for president, was criticized more for being a Mormon than for being a rich financier. A “London whale” meant a whale from London, not the trader who caused a surprise $6 billion loss at JPMorgan Chase in 2012. TARP was something you used to cover a lawnmower. Now it’s the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which the government used to bail out banks, carmakers and insurers, beginning in 2008. Nobody outside Alaska had heard of Sarah Palin. Steve Carell was still on “The Office,” and it was still funny. Barry Bonds was still a home run champion, not a convicted felon in a steroids case. The first iPhone was new on the market, and the top-selling phone in the U.S. was the Motorola Razr, a “dumb” folding phone. A fill-up felt less like a stick-up The worst of the economic calamity was almost a year away.

In October 2007, gas cost $2.77 a gallon. The average had never soared to more than $4, as it would the following summer. It’s now about $3.74. This was when jobs were easier to come by. The unemployment rate was 4.7 percent. Nearly a quarter century had passed since it had last hit 10 percent, as it would in 2009. It’s now at 7.9 percent, well above the desired rate of around 5 percent. This was when the U.S. was growing consistently. The economy hadn’t had a losing quarter, meaning it shrank rather than grew, since 2001. But starting in the first quarter of 2008, it would shrink for five of six quarters. The economy has been growing the past three years, though it expanded at an annual rate of just 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. Homes were still sweet This was when people believed their income could rise every year. The median annual household income would start falling, after adjusting for inflation, in 2008. It’s now around $50,054, according to the latest data available from the Census. In 2007, after adjusting for inflation, it was $54,489. This was when Americans took for granted the idea that housing was a good investment. The median sale price of an existing home was almost $207,000, still close to the record of $230,000, according to the National Association of Realtors. It would start falling in the summer of 2008 and crater at $156,000 in early 2011. It’s now around $174,000. A turning point quickly turned around If the 2007 record teaches anything, it’s that milestones and celebrations can evaporate quickly and severely. A month after the Oct. 9, 2007, record, the Dow had shed 8 percent of its value. A year after, it was down almost 40 percent. At its worst point in the Great Recession, in March 2009, it had dropped 54 percent from its peak to 6,547.05. Joe Gordon, managing partner at Gordon Asset Management in North Carolina, remembers, and is underwhelmed by the latest Dow record. “You can hit these milestones,” Gordon says. “But then it can always end badly.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

Heavy snow snarls travel, closes schools in Ohio CINCINNATI (AP) — A late-winter storm dumped a half-foot or more of snow across much of Ohio on Wednesday, creating treacherous driving conditions for the morning rush hour and closing hundreds of schools from Athens to West Chester. Most of the state had been under winter storm warnings or advisories, but the National Weather Service lifted them by about 9:30 a.m. as the snow moved on eastward. Southern and west-central Ohio got the brunt of the storm, which had swept down from Minnesota and Wisconsin and barreled through the Midwest on its way to Washington. There were scores of traffic accidents, mostly causing minor damage without serious injuries, flight cancellations and scattered power outages. Bellefontaine, a city of some 13,000 in western Ohio, got 8 to 9 inches of snow. “More than we care for, that’s for sure,” said James D. Holycross, the city’s safety service director. He said the area’s schools were closed, and many businesses delayed their openings Wednesday. Early morning temperatures in the high 20s allowed road crews there and elsewhere across the state to treat and plow major roadways and keep them relatively clear by late morning. Holycross said there were many accidents, mostly slide-offs on icy roads, in surrounding rural areas, but no serious accidents reported. That was similar to elsewhere in the state, where accidents caused traffic snags including a few jackknifed tractor-trailers and chainreaction crashes. Police in several areas told motorists in minor collisions to exchange information and move on to avoid adding to the traffic hazards. Schools across southern and central Ohio called off classes, including Columbus, Cincinnati and Lakota, among the state’s largest public school districts. Andrew Snyder, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Wilmington, said some of the heaviest snowfalls were in Logan and Shelby counties, with 8-9 inches, with similar amounts reported in some areas between Cincinnati and Dayton such as the cities of Franklin, Middletown and Miamisburg. “It’s really a significant storm for any time of winter, but particularly when we’re getting here, later in the season,” Snyder said. “Storms like this become less and less common this time of year.” Airlines canceled dozens of flights at the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton airports late Tuesday and Wednesday, many of them to or from Chicago and other Midwest cities hit by the storm or headed to eastern cities in the storm’s path. Hundreds of flights were canceled nationwide. The snow won’t be sticking around. Forecasters expect temperatures to rise quickly into the 50s by weekend for most of the state. But Snyder said forecasters aren’t ready yet to call an end to winter. “You never know when winter will make one last gasp,” he said. Schools shift from textbooks to tablets WASHINGTON (AP) — Well before the cleanup from Superstorm Sandy was in full swing, students could read about the weather system that slammed the East Coast in their textbooks. Welcome to the new digital bookcase, where traditional ink-and-paper textbooks have given way to iPads and book bags are getting lighter. Publishers update students’ books almost instantly with the latest events or research. Schools are increasingly looking to the hand-held tablets as a way to sustain students’ interest, reward their achievements and, in some cases, actually keep per-student costs down. “We must use technology to empower teachers and improve the way students learn,” said Joel Klein, a former New York City schools’ chief who now leads News Corp.’s education tablet program. “At its best, education technology will change the face of education by helping teachers manage the classroom and personalize instruction.” News Corp. introduced their Amplify tablet during a breakfast Wednesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. Priced at $299, the 10-inch unit runs on a school’s wireless Internet system and comes with software for teachers to watch each student’s activities, offer instant polls and provide anonymous quizzes to gauge student understanding. Orders placed by June 30 will be ready for the start of the school year in the fall, officials at Rupert Murdoch’s company said, adding yet another platform for schools to consider. Putting a device in every student’s hand is not a pie-in-the-sky dream. Some 2,000 schools already have partnered with Google to use its lightweight Chromebooks, which start at $199. Some 20 million students and teachers are already using them, company officials said. And a study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project found that more than 40 percent of students or teachers use some sort of tablet in their Advanced Placement and National Writing Project classrooms. “When you think about it, these are A.P. classes and National Writing Project classes, and 4 in 10 say they are using these devices,” said Kristen Purcell, associate director for research at Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. “That’s 6 in 10 who aren’t using them. We still have a lot of room for growth.” In coming years, growth seems to be the norm. Christine Quinn, the speaker of the New York City Council, has suggested replacing textbooks — they cost the city $100 million a year — with tablets. Schools in Los Angeles last month allocated $50 million to start buying tablets for every student; the project is expected to cost $500 million by the time it is completed. Schools in McAllen, Texas, distributed 6,800 Apple tablets last year at a cost of $20.5 million. But it’s not just the biggest school districts making the shift. The Eanes Independent School District in Austin is distributing more than 2,000 iPads to every student, from kindergarteners to high school seniors. The cost: $1.2 million. Students, unlike some of their parents, aren’t blinking. “The biggest challenge is that they’re growing up as digital natives, but when they get to the school door, they have to leave that at the door,” said Scott Kinney, who trains teachers on how to use Discovery Education’s products, which work on various platforms. “Kids are very comfortable with these things, so why aren’t we reaching them in a way that’s most beneficial to students?” Discovery, the top digital content provider to U.S. schools, recognizes its potential to keep students interested with the most upto-date material. For instance, it updated its science lessons for students in grades six through high school to incorporate Superstorm Sandy within weeks of its making landfall. Students traced the path of the storm using digital maps, compared the changes in barometric pressure with wind speed and proposed cleanup plans for the region — even while cleanup crews were still working. in Pomeroy with Hershel White officiating.

DAR plans 105th anniversary celebration POMEROY — Plans for the observance of the 105th anniversary of the organization of Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, were discussed at the Chapter’s recent meeting held at the Pomeroy Library. Opal Grueser, regent, noted that Jan Augustine, chaplain of the Ohio State DAR, will be the guest speaker. She will talk about the lives of the signers of the Constitution following that historic event. A catered luncheon will be served and guests are invited to attend. RSVP responses are to be called to Donna Jenkins by March 9, 740-742-2957. At a recent meeting of the Chapter, Grueser gave a conservation report and noted that boxtops for education are still being collected to be sent to the Tamassee School and Hindman Settlement. Donna Jenkins purchased a phone card as well as did the Chapter to be sent to military personnel in the name of the Chapter. Theme for the meeting presented by Gruesser was on quilt making of the pioneer era and the patterns and designs created during that time period. Linda Russsell served refreshments following the meeting. Ohio seeks guidance on storage caverns CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio is seeking federal guidance on regulating underground caverns storing liquid propane and other liquid hydrocarbons after propane vapors were detected near a storage facility in southwest Ohio, saying if the response is inadequate, the state will seek authority to regulate them itself. State and local officials say no problems have developed from vapors detected last year in a monitoring well at an industrial landfill near the storage terminal in Mon- roe in Butler County, but the director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says such caverns need to be regulated to ensure public safety. ODNR Director James Zehringer sent a letter last week to the U.S. Department of Transportation asking whether federal regulatory authority over hazardous liquids pipelines extends to liquid propane stored in underground caverns. Ohio has five facilities with nonnatural gas storage caverns around the state that appear to be unregulated, according to Zehringer. “This apparent lack of authority to regulate these storage caverns is a concern for us, given our mission to protect the people of Ohio,” he wrote. Zehringer said such caverns should be regulated on some level, but Ohio needs clarification from the Transportation Department before developing any state regulations. He also wants to know whether federal officials are opposed to states developing their own authority to regulate the caverns and whether other states do that. Ohio executes man who shot security guard LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Ohio on Wednesday executed a man who fatally shot an adult bookstore security guard in 1994 at the end of a multistate crime rampage as witnesses of a second slaying victim of that rampage looked on intently. Frederick Treesh received a single powerful dose of pentobarbital and was pronounced dead at 10:37 a.m. by Donald Morgan, warden of the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. Treesh was sentenced to die for killing Henry Dupree in Eastlake east of Cleveland on Aug. 27, 1994. He and a co-defendant were suspects in the shooting death three days earlier of Ghassan Danno, a Livonia, Mich., video store co-owner. “This is where drugs lead you,” Treesh, a former cocaine addict, said in a last statement. He also apologized for the death of Dupree, but said he wouldn’t say he was sorry to family members of Danno, who sat a few feet away watching through a window. Treesh said he’d never been charged or tried in that slaying. After a few more comments Treesh said, “If you want me murdered, just say it.” Treesh, of Waterloo, Ind., was the 50th inmate put to death by the state since it resumed executions in 1999. The prison system said Treesh’s veins checked out beforehand, but executioners seemed to have a little difficulty inserting the IVs after Treesh entered the death chamber shortly after 10 a.m. A trickle of blood ran down Treesh’s right arm after one attempt, while the insertion on the left arm took a couple of attempts with the successful insertion on the inmate’s forearm. Treesh spoke a few times during the insertion process but his remarks were inaudible. He yawned shortly after the drug began flowing, then his mouth fell open and he was still for several minutes. Danno’s sister-in-law said afterward that justice had been served. “There’s one less sadistic killer in this world,” said Deanne Danno, who witnessed the execution. “He has no heart. He’s a soulless person that should never have been brought into this world.” Gov. John Kasich denied Treesh clemency last week, following the recommendation of the state parole board, which ruled unanimously last month that the evidence showed Dupree was seated when shot and hadn’t shown any sign of being a threat to Treesh. The board also said Treesh’s decision to shoot a clerk in the face as he left the store suggests Treesh’s “murderous intent” when coming to the store. Treesh and Brooks “gratuitously brutalized, humiliated and killed innocent people, most of whom, like Dupree, posed no real or perceived threat to them,” the board said. Prosecutors said justice could be served and money saved by charging Treesh and co-defendant Benjamin Brooks in Ohio. Prosecutors say Treesh, 48, and Brooks robbed banks and businesses, committed sexual assaults, stole cars, committed carjackings and shot someone to death in a Michigan robbery during a spree that also took them to Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

One — placed between the signs celebrating the national championships in 2002 and 1968 — says “12-0 Undefeated Season 2012.” The other one, placed by itself on the east wall of the massive facility, simply says, “The Chase …” The first is a 30 by 10-foot reminder of what the Buckeyes accomplished last year, and the other refers to the challenge ahead. They greeted the players when they took the field for their first of 15 spring workouts on Tuesday. It was their first practice since the day after Thanksgiving, their last tuneup before the season-ending game against archrival Michigan. Even though the Buckeyes were the only major-college team to go unbeaten, they were banned from going to a bowl because of NCAA violations committed when Jim Tressel was the head coach. “We’re all chasing something,” second-year coach Urban Meyer said. “We’re 15 practices behind a lot of teams — as a matter of fact every team that played in a bowl game last year. So the chase is on. Some guys are chasing starting positions. Some guys are chasing bowl games. Some guys are chasing NFL contracts. … They’re chasing their dream.” Meyer spoke to the players circled around him before the start of the practice, stressing core values and what is expected of them. Then the players broke into position groups and worked on individual skills. There was no tackling since players didn’t wear full pads, but rather jerseys, helmets and shorts or uniform pants. Braxton Miller, on a regional cover of Sports Illustrated last week as a Heisman Trophy contender, went through his paces at quarterback. He looked good during a 7-on-7 passing drill and a two-hand-tap scrimmage between the No. 1 offense and top defense. The junior threw the ball well despite wearing a compression sleeve on his right or throwing arm. Meyer seemed to spend extra time keeping an eye on the defensive line and linebackers — the two areas he said need to develop the most this spring. “If we put together a good D-line and linebackers, I think we’ll have a good team,” Meyer said. “If not, we won’t. It’s pretty simple.” The Buckeyes are expected to be among the top five teams in the nation in 2013 by several national publications. They return almost everyone on offense, but must replace seven starters on defense. “The way I see it is it’s wide See BUCKEYES ‌| 8 Alex Hawley | file photo Eastern junior Jordan Parker (12) defends South Gallia’s Jasmyne Johnson (right) during a regular season girls basketball contest on January 17 in Mercerville, Ohio.

Carnahan was joined by senior forward Kirk Pullins, who was named special mention for the second consecutive year.

That’s just been the frustrating thing, and that’s what happened. “I just sort of let it all get to me.” McIlroy attributed his frustration to wanting to improve on his breakthrough season, when he won his second major at the PGA Championship, five tournaments around the world, money titles on the two biggest tours and established himself as the best player in golf. But he dismissed suggestions that his new equipment deal added to the pressure. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland signed with Nike for what is said to be upward of $20 million a year. He was introduced as Nike’s latest global star with a glitzy laser show in Abu Dhabi, but his game fell apart quickly. He has missed the cut, lost in the opening round of the Match Play Championship and quit after 26 holes of the Honda Classic. That led to speculation that he can’t adjust to the new clubs. “It doesn’t make a difference what deal or what clubs I play.

And look, I’d rather keep my private life as private as possible. Everything on that front is great, and I’m looking forward to seeing her next week when she goes to Miami.” It was the first time McIlroy has been criticized, not only for quitting in the middle of the round but trying to disguise the reason as a sore wisdom tooth. He did say his lower right tooth has been bothering him, and that he would see his dentist in Belfast later this year. “It wasn’t bothering me enough to quit,” he said. This was about the frus- tration of not finding his swing and being exposed on the golf course with high scores. And it led to a decision he wishes he could take back. Buckeyes From Page 6 open and there’s no set rotation yet,” he said while pinpointing the front seven as the focal point of early-season workouts. “They’re all just trying to find their way. (Sophomore defensive linemen) Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington are a leg up because they got to play a little bit last year. But there’s a bunch of other guys who need to get going.” He joked that some of the upperclassmen haven’t accomplished much in their years with the team and that time was running out for them to have an impact. “I think you can only redshirt once,” he cracked. Among those participating in their first collegiate practice were four early enrollees from the 2013 recruiting class: cornerbacks Eli Apple and Cam Burrows, defensive linemen Tyquan Lewis and Tracy Sprinkle and quarterback J.T. Barrett. The Buckeyes went through drills or scrimmaged for almost 2 1-2 hours. They’ll practice again on Thursday, then will be off for spring break. Meyer said he liked the innovation of starting earlier in the spring than usual because it spreads out the workouts, allows more time for teaching and also for recovery from minor injuries. One other major area of con- cern is replacing the team’s top leaders from last year’s turnaround season. All last fall, Meyer raved about the guidance provided by seniors John Simon, Etienne Sabino, Zach Boren, Garrett Goebel and others. Now they’re all gone and “the chase” is on to pick up the slack for those who provided the most inspiration and motivation on the team. “The only thing I don’t feel great about is when you look and you don’t see my leaders from last year,” Meyer said. “I grew to love those guys. They turned out to be as good a human beings as I’ve ever been around. So that’s the only void you feel.” Overall, however, he liked what he saw in the first official practice of 2013. “On defense there’s a lot of young puppies running around out there,” he said. “But offensively I thought the carryover was good.” Crown From ThePage Ohio 6Valley Newspapers of Civitas Media is seeking an lead sityAdvertising players Manager comingtofrom sales team.

Blacksten returned to the lineup a few weeks ago after suffering a stress fracture in her foot.

Waterford, Eastern and Trimble are the three TVC Hocking schools to reach regionals over the last decade. Trimble joined Eastern in 2004 and Waterford in 2006, and both WHS and EHS played one another in 2011. The leading scorers for Eastern and Waterford this season also shared the Southeast District player of the year award both this winter and last. Senior Brooke Drayer — a twotime POY selection — is the only Lady Cat averaging more than double digits (14.7 ppg), while junior Jenna Burdette captured her third straight share of the POY honor with an 18.1 ppg average.

Balancing these strong, opposing qualities takes talent. One is just as important as the other. Your circle of friends also reflects these qualities. If you are single, you could confuse someone you’re dating, as this person never knows which side of your personality to expect. Take your time committing. Summer 2013 could usher in a very exciting individual. If you are attached, your sweetie is used to your changeability. Do more together as a couple. AQUARIUS naturally is a risktaker. You like this quality. 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) HHH Too much pressure would make anyone feel glum. Look at the source of the problem. Could the tension be a result of your high expectations or perhaps someone else’s? Regroup and center yourself in order to reduce your level of stress. Tonight: Find a reason to celebrate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Detach, and take a step back in order to gain a new perspective. Let go of automatic judgments. Be direct and forthright with a friend who might be unusually pushy. Yes, this person’s behavior will change, but not as fast as you would like. Tonight: In the limelight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your ability to convey information might be more important than you realize. Laughter easily might surround a sarcastic comment after the fact. Remain light with a difficult parent or higher-up. Have a talk in the evening to clear the air. Tonight: Reach out to a friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might have less say than you think. Others seem to be pushing forward without giving it any thought. Just wait until everything has settled down before you discuss what’s happening. Schedule any individual talks for this afternoon. Tonight: Allow more playfulness into your day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Get as much done as possible, as you are determined to get out of work promptly. Return all calls and emails. Lighten up about the possibilities that surround you and a special friendship. A co-worker seems destined to follow the same path. Tonight: A surprise could happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Use the daylight hours to finish off a project. Be careful, as a partner could be unusually fiery right now. Take this person’s tough stance and sharp words with a grain of salt. Focus on being more nurturing to yourself as well as others. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might feel as if there is no going back with a family member who pushes you beyond your limits. Words that were said cannot be taken back. Think carefully about a choice that might force you to work more closely with one particular individual. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your playfulness emerges when dealing with a partner or a dear loved one. This person does a great job at creating a distraction. Understand that you could be looking at an excessive amount of work. Try working from home, if you can, as you might get more done. Tonight: At home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Remain sensitive to financial changes. You could be surprised at how someone responds to a money issue. Curb a tendency to snap at a particular person. He or she doesn’t deserve that type of behavior from you — or from anyone else for that matter. Tonight: Meet up with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might not take enough time to listen to what someone has to say. Refrain from minimizing this person’s importance. You might not intend to come off as harsh, but that’s what keeps happening. This habit could prevent you from connecting with others. Tonight: Pick up the tab. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Lie low, and opt for a change of pace. You might want to follow your instincts with a financial matter. Weigh the pros and cons of this situation before making a decision. How flexible can you be? You’ll feel energized by sunset. Tonight: Be a wild thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Zero in on your priorities. You will succeed if you can let go of a strong reaction. Make lunch plans with a friend you have not seen in a while. Don’t stand on ceremony with someone who is not returning your calls or emails. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime.
