Reitmire, 69 Judith A. ‘Judy’ Wright, 72 50 cents daily THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 47 Middleport changes rules on rental inspections Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — New regulations pertaining to maintenance and repair of rental units in Middleport now include a requirement that prior to a new tenant moving into a rental unit, that unit and the real property on which it is located, must pass inspection. Middleport Village Council amended the original ordinance relating to inspections on rental units with a third reading and adoption at its recent meeting. For the required inspection service between tenants there is a $25 fee. The amendment further states that either a landlord or a tenant can request an inspection of any rental unit at any time. A $25 fee for this inspection will be charged to the one who requests the inspection. The village’s 2009 property maintenance code was further amended to provide that when the building inspector finds that repairs are needed at a rental unit, the landlord will be allowed 30 days to perform the repairs and then is responsible to contact Mike Hendrickson, build- ing inspector, for a re-inspection which comes with a fee of $15. If after 30 days the building inspector finds that repairs have not been completed, the premises must be vacated, and there will be a fine of $100 imposed upon the property owner. That fine will continue to be imposed every 30 days thereafter until the building inspector finds repairs have been performed and the rental unit passes inspection. Extensions of time for major repairs may be permitted at the building inspector’s discretion. The amended ordinance also provides that water service will not be turned on at a rental unit until that unit and the real property on which it is located has passed inspection, and it has been confirmed that a rental permit has been issued. Hendrickson said that the routine annual inspection is covered by the annual $20 rental permit which property owners paid in January. In a letter to landlords, Hendrickson said that inspections are put in place to “provide safe and sanitary living for the tenants and also to provide informa- tion to landlords on prospective tenants.” He noted that a database on tenants will be kept on file providing a resource of background information for property owners to use. That database is currently being developed, and landlords are urged to participate by providing information on present or past tenants such as how the apartment was left and/or were there any overdue bills. An emphasis of Middleport officials is on improving the quality of rental property in the village through enforcement of the maintenance ordinance.

Wood said that he has requested assistance in the investigation from Meigs County Coroner Dr. Doug- las Hunter and the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI). The remaining prisoners were transported to the Middleport Jail and the Washington County Jail while the investigation continues. Additional information will be released by BCI and the Meigs County Sheriff when the investigation is complete. RVHS, RVMS Report shows year of no active TB cases locked down over pellet gun Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — No active cases of tuberculosis were diagnosed in Meigs County in 2012, according to the annual report of Nancy Broderick, R.N., executive director. She did note, however, that the clinic had four patients with positive skin tests, two of which received treatment for latent (inactive) TB infections, one who completed treatment and another who was non-compliant with the recommendations of the clinic. During the year, the clinic did 1,505 skin tests, 88 chest x-rays, held 17 outside clinics and offered skin testing in the county’s schools. The agency is a levy-funded clinic operating under the supervision of the Meigs County Commissioners and a Board of Directors which consists of 13 members representing all townships of the county. Services are provided to Meigs County residents or anyone working in the county at no cost, according to Broderick, who listed those services as skin testing, chest x-rays for positive reactors, lab work and medications for active or inactive tuberculosis, as well as arranging doctor appointment related to the disease. The new clinic physician is Jer- Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com Nancy Broderick, R. N., Meigs County Tuberculosis Clinic executive director emy Parsons, DO who oversees the clinic’s chest x-ray clinics and provides health care to patients who do not have a regular private physician. Once a person is diagnosed with active tuberculosis, that person receives treatment in their own home or in a hospital if there are other medical problems. The TB nurse provides the routine home visits. As explained by Broderick, tuberculosis is an airborne disease. The germs are passed through the air when a person who is sick with active tuberculosis coughs, laughs, sings or sneezes. Anyone nearby can breathe in the TB germs and get an infection, she said. She went on to say that if left untreated, TB infection can turn into active TB disease. While the lungs are usual- ly the place of disease, TB can also move into other organs or parts of the body, she added. However, she stressed that tuberculosis can almost always be treated and cured if medications are taken as directed by the health care provider. “Active tuberculosis patients normally are no longer contagious within a few weeks of beginning treatment if the plan of treatment as directed by the physician is followed,” she said. The Meigs County TB Clinic, located at 112 Memorial Drive in Pomeroy, has office hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The telephone number is 740-992-3722. Skin tests are not given on Thursdays. BIDWELL — An incident involving a River Valley High School (RVHS) student in possession of prohibited items on school property resulted in the brief lockdown of two schools and the removal of the student from campus Wednesday. Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a request from RVHS officials Wednesday morning to begin an investigation into allegations of a student on school property with a realistic-looking hand gun that, in fact, was discovered to be a single pellet gun. Possession of this type of device on restricted grounds is in violation of Ohio law, as well as, the school district’s policy. According to Ohio Revised Code, Section 2923.12 (c): No person shall knowingly possess an object in a school safety zone if both of the following apply: (1) The object is indistinguishable from a firearm, whether or not the object is capable of being fired. (2) The person indicates that the person possesses the object and that it is a firearm, or the person knowingly displays or brandishes the object and indicates that it is a firearm. Upon the deputies’ arrival, the scene was already contained by school district personnel. The 15-year-old male student in question was removed from the school property and detained by deputies. A complete investigation into this situation will be forwarded to the county prosecutor for review. Gallia County Local School District officials told the Gallipolis Daily Tribune that no students were threatened, harmed or were at any time in harm’s way as a result of the incident and that River Valley Middle School (RVMS) was only locked down because of the close proximity to the high school as part of the district’s safety policy. Both schools were back to normal class activity by noon. Commissioners recognize local groups, approve agenda items Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners approved resolutions recently to recognize the Girl Scouts and members of the Eastern Lady Eagles basketball team. The resolution recognizing the Girl Scouts of Meigs County declared the week of March 10-16 as Girl Scout Week. The resolution stated that there are 120 members of the Girl Scouts in Meigs County. Members of the Girl Scouts and their advisors were present at the meeting. The resolution to recognize the Lady Eagles was signed earlier in the week with members of the coaching staff present. Opal Grueser of the Daughter of the America Resolution spoke with the commissioners to receive permission to plant a tree on the county’s property at the Chester Commons. The commissioners approved the project and asked Grueser to consult with the Chester Shade Historical Association to determine the type of tree. Jim Stewart and Mary Powell of the Chester Shade Historical Association also spoke with the commissioners about the placement of a shelter house on the Chester Commons Property. The project is just beginning the planning stages. A contract was approved with Triad Engineering to provide engineering studies related to the Rutland water and wastewater services. A request from the Lebanon Town- ship Trustees to close Clark Street, between Township Road 407, McKelvey Street, and Township Road 66, Portland Road, was referred to the Meigs County Engineer. The commissioners announced that a public hearing will be held at 4:30 p.m. on April 5 at the Meigs County Courthouse for the Community Development Block Grant. Present at the meeting were commissioners Tim Ihle, Michael Bartrum, and Randy Smith, clerk Gloria Kloes, representatives of the Girl Scouts Faith Roush, Stephanie Roush, Lindsey Putman, Linda Putman, and Mary Byer-Hill, Andrea Weekly, Denise Alkire, Dell Pullins, Perry Varnadoe, Bryan Stemp, Fred Williams, Jim Stewart, Mary Powell and Opal Grueser.

CWD is a degenerative brain disease that affects elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer. According to the ODNR Division of Wildlife, state and federal agriculture and wildlife officials collected 519 samples in 2012. For the 11th consecutive year, all samples were negative for CWD. Since CWD was first discovered in the late 1960s in the western United States, there has been no evidence that the disease can be transmitted to humans. Since 2002, the ODNR Division of Wildlife, in conjunction with the ODA Division of Animal Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife and Veterinary Services, has conducted surveillance throughout the state for CWD. While CWD has never been found in Ohio’s deer herd, it had been diagnosed in wild and captive deer, moose, or elk in 22 states and two Canadian provinces. Since CWD was discovered in the western United States in the late 1960s, there has been no evidence that the disease can be transmitted to humans. The ODNR Division of Wildlife continues to carefully monitor the health of Ohio’s wild deer herd throughout the year. Visit ohioagriculture. gov or wildohio.com for the latest information on CWD or the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance at cwd-info.org. All CWD testing is performed at the ODA Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Ohio Valley Forecast Thursday: A slight chance of snow showers before 10 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34.

AG announces help for assault victims COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s attorney general says he’ll provide grant money for new regional sexual assault coordinators to oversee direct and comprehensive services for victims of sexual assault. Attorney General Mike DeWine said Wednesday a recently completed survey found that 52 of Ohio’s 88 counties do not offer such services. The attorney general says it is crucial that adequate services are available to anyone who has been sexually assaulted. The five year, $1.5 million project focuses in its first year on expanding services to Crawford, Meigs, Perry and Wyandot counties. DeWine was joined by Ohio state Reps. Nan Baker and Kirk Schuring who announced legislation that would levy a $100 fee on sex offenders to pay for rape crisis programs such as hotlines, victim advocacy and support services. �Thursday, March 21, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Senate set to approve Obama skeptical of Assad huge 2013 spending bill The measure would fund the day-to-day operating budgets of every Cabinet agency through Sept. 30, provide another $87 billion to fund overseas military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and maintain a pay freeze for federal workers. The measure gives the Pentagon much-sought relief from a cash crunch in accounts for training and readiness, gives veteran health programs their scheduled increases and sets the detailed, line-byline budgets for agencies such as Commerce, NASA, Agriculture and Justice. The measure leaves in place automatic budget cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 8 percent to the Pentagon. The cuts have largely been unnoticed by the public but are making lawmakers uncomfortable, especially as intermittent layoffs known as furloughs begin to take effects next month. The fear of those furloughs compromising safety at 173 airports slated to lose their air traffic controllers led Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., to seek to restore funding to prevent the layoffs. He was denied an attempt to amend the measure, which led him to drag out debate. But Moran relented rather than to deny other senators from winning votes on amendments. Democrats have generally resisted efforts to fix the automatic cuts on an ad hoc basis, arguing that the so-called sequester needs to be replaced in its entirety as part of a broader budget deal. The developments in the Senate come as the House resumed debate on the budget for next year and beyond. Republicans are pushing a plan that promises sharp cuts to federal health care programs and domestic agency operating budgets as the price for balancing the budget in a decade. That plan, by Budget Committee chairman and failed GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, also contains a hotly contested provision calling for transformation of Medicare for beneficiaries born in 1959 and after into a program that subsidizes health insurance premiums instead of directly paying hospital and doctor bills. The House was set to consider a set of alternative budgets from the left and right on Wednesday before voting on the GOP plan on Thursday. The Senate was expected to begin debate of the budget Wednesday in hopes of a vote on Friday. Obama pledges to keep Iran from nuclear weapon JERUSALEM (AP) — Eager to reassure an anxious ally, President Barack Obama on Wednesday promised to work closely with Israel and do whatever is necessary to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, “the world’s worst weapons.” He also pledged to investigate whether chemical weapons were used this week in the neighboring Syria’s twoyear-old civil war. Obama, after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said of Iran’s nuclear ambitions: “We prefer to resolve this diplomatically and there is still time to do so.” But he added that “all options are on the table” if diplomacy falls short. “The question is, will Iranian leadership seize that opportunity,” he added. The president said Iran’s past behavior indicates that “we can’t even trust yet, much less verify.” Netanyahu, at Obama’s side for a joint news conference, said that while he appreciated U.S. efforts to thwart Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons through diplomacy and sanctions, he said those tools “must be augmented by a clear and credible threat of military action.” Although preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a top priority of both Israel and the United States, Netanyahu and Obama have differed on precisely how to achieve that. Israel repeatedly has threatened to take military action should Iran appear to be on the verge of obtaining a bomb. The U.S. has pushed for more time to allow diplomacy and economic penalties to run their course, though Obama insists military action is an option. Fed stands by stimulus, sees stronger US economy WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S. economy has strengthened after pausing late last year but still needs the Fed’s extraordinary support to help lower high unemployment. In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed stood by its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent, as long as the inflation outlook remains mild. And it said it would continue buying $85 billion a month in bonds indefinitely to keep long-term borrowing costs down. Investors seemed pleased with the Fed’s decision to maintain its low-interest rate policies. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 76 points nearly an hour after the statement was released at 2 p.m. EDT, up 32 points from just before. The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index also added to its gains on the day. The unemployment rate has fallen to a four-year low of 7.7 percent, among many signs of a healthier economy. The Fed noted in its statement that the job market has improved, consumer spending and business investment have increased and the housing market has strengthened. But its latest economic forecasts, also released Wednesday, show that the Fed still doesn’t expect unemployment to reach 6.5 percent until 2015. The Fed also cautioned that government spend- ing cuts and tax increases could slow the economy. It predicts that growth won’t exceed 2.8 percent this year, slightly lower than its December forecast of 3 percent. A total of 13 Fed officials still think the first rate increase won’t occur until 2015, the same number as in December. One Fed official thinks the first boost in the short-term lending rate won’t occur until 2016. The statement was approved on an 11-1 vote. Esther George, president of the Kansas City regional Fed bank, dissented for a second straight meeting. She reiterated her concerns that the Fed’s aggressive stimulus could heighten the risk of inflation and financial instability. Though the Fed’s low interest-rate policies are intended to boost borrowing, spending and stock prices, they also hurt millions of retirees and others who depend on income from savings. “Things are not going to get better for savers,” said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. “Rates are going to stay low for borrowers, and the Fed’s accommodation will continue to be a positive for the stock market. Right now, the market is addicted to Fed stimulus.” The economy slowed to an annual growth rate of just 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter, a near-stall that was due mainly to temporary factors that have largely faded. Economists think growth has rebounded in the January-March quarter to an annual rate around 2 percent or more. The most recent data support that view. Americans spent more at retailers in February despite higher Social Security taxes that shrank most workers’ paychecks. Manufacturing gained solidly in February. And employers have gone on a four-month hiring spree, adding an average of 205,000 jobs a month. In February, the unemployment rate, though still high, reached its lowest point since December 2008. One reason for the Fed’s reluctance to reduce its stimulus is the history of the past three years. In each of the three, economic prospects looked promising as the year began. Yet in each case, the economy stumbled. In 2010, U.S. growth was hurt by turmoil from Europe’s debt crisis. In 2011, a spike in gas prices and supply disruptions caused by Japan’s earthquake and tsunami dampened growth. And in 2012, higher gas prices cut into consumer spending. claim on chemical weapons JERUSALEM (AP) — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the United States is investigating whether chemical weapons have been deployed in Syria, but he’s “deeply skeptical” of claims by Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime that rebel forces were behind such an attack. Both the Assad regime and Syrian rebels have accused each other of using chemical weapons in an attack on Tuesday. Obama said anyone familiar with the facts of the chemical weapons stockpile in Syria would question the government’s claim that it was the rebels who carried out such an attack. “Once we establish the facts, I have made clear that the use of chemical weapons is a game changer,” Obama said in a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama said he wouldn’t announce what the next steps would be while the investigation is unfolding. But he echoed up his statement over the summer that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would be a “red line” for the United States. “When you start seeing weapons that can cause potential devastation and mass casualties and you let that genie out of the bottle, then you are looking at potentially even more horrific scenes than we’ve already seen in Syria. And the international community has to act on that information,” Obama said. Obama says the U.S. policy not to intervene militarily or arm Syrian rebels thus far is based on his desire to solve the problem as a global community. “It’s a world problem when tens of thousands of people are being slaughtered, including innocent women and children,” Obama said. Colo. Corrections Dept. chief shot, killed at home MONUMENT, Colo. (AP) — Colorado’s top state prison official was shot and killed when he answered the front door of his house, setting off a hunt for the shooter and raising questions about whether the attack had anything to do with his job. Tom Clements, 58, was shot around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Monument, north of Colorado Springs, and a witness reported a person driving away in a dark-colored “boxy” car that had its engine running at the time of the shooting, authorities said. Investigators were exploring all possibilities, including that the shooting could have been related to Clements’ job as executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, which he took after years working in Missouri corrections. The killing stunned officials in both states. They described Clements, who is married with two daughters, as dedicated, funny, caring and an expert on the latest and best methods in his field who chose the Colorado job over retirement. At a news conference, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper was red-eyed and somber, speaking haltingly as he said he didn’t think the killing was part of any larger attack against his cabinet, members of which stood behind him, several of them crying. Others dabbed their eyes. “Tom Clements dedicated his life to being a public servant, to making our state a better place and he is going to be deeply, deeply missed,” said Hickenlooper, who planned to go to Monument to meet with Clements’ family after signing gun-control bills. While the motive of the killing wasn’t immediately clear, similar attacks on officials have been on the rise in the U.S., said Glenn McGovern, an investigator with the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office in California who tracks such incidents worldwide. He said there have been as many in the past three years as the entire prior decade. The attacks are often motivated by revenge, said McGovern, who has documented more than 133 attacks, including 41 homicides, against judges, prosecutors and other justice and police officials since 1950. Last month, a Texas The French Art Colony’s Riverby Theater Guild Presents: rado prison sentence in Saudi Arabia. He cited alTurki’s refusal to undergo sex offender treatment. Homaidan al-Turki, a well-known member of Denver’s Muslim community, was convicted in state court in 2006 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion and sentenced to 28 years to life in prison. Prosecutors said he kept a housekeeper a virtual slave for four years and sexually assaulted her. A judge reduced the sentence to eight years to life. Al-Turki insisted the case was politically motivated. He owned a company that some years ago sold CDs of sermons recorded by Anwar al-Awlaki, killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Al-Turki’s conviction angered Saudi officials and prompted the U.S. State Department to send Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and al-Turki’s family. After Clements’ shooting, someone with the State Department called the Colorado Corrections Department. Prisons spokeswoman Alison Morgan said she had no details on the call other than to say it wasn’t connected to the shooting investigation and may have been a simple courtesy. “They called us because we have a cooperative international program with them,” she said. Clements is at least the second state prisons chief killed in office. Michael Francke, director of the Oregon corrections department, was stabbed to death outside his office in 1989 in what prosecutors described as a bungled car burglary. A former Oregon prison inmate was found guilty of aggravated murder in 1991 and sentenced to life in prison. ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � �������� �� �� a magical adventure 0RQ�)UL��DP�����SP�‡�6DW��DP����SP�‡�6XQ���DP����SP�(67 Sunday, March 24, at 2:00 PM Point Pleasant HS Wedge Auditorium Tickets at the door.

McGovern also counts the rampage by an ex-Los Angeles police officer who killed the daughter of a retired city police officer as part of a plot to avenge his firing. In Colorado, a prosecutor was fatally shot in 2008 as he returned to his Denver house. In 2001, federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was fatally shot by a rifleman while he worked on a computer at night in his Seattle home. “It’s often taking place away from the office, which makes sense, because everyone’s hardening up their facilities,” said McGovern, adding that he advises prosecutors in their houses to constantly assess the safety of their residences. Clements lived in a wooded neighborhood of large, two-story houses on expansive 2-acre lots dotted with evergreen trees in an area known as the Black Forest. Long driveways connect the homes to narrow, winding roads that thread the hills. It would have been simple to find where Clements lived. It took two clicks to get his correct street address through a publicly available internet locator service Wednesday morning. The listing also included his previous home address in Missouri. A family member called 911 to report the shooting. Search dogs were called in to comb through a wooded area around Clements’ home, and authorities were going house to house trying to find out what neighbors heard and saw. While Clements generally kept a low profile, his killing comes a week after he denied a request by a Saudi national to serve out the remainder of a Colo- ����������������������������� ALADDIN 60402083 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate moved ahead Wednesday toward a vote on a huge, bipartisan spending bill aimed at keeping the government running through September and ruling out the chance of a government shutdown later this month. Chamber leaders announced Wednesday afternoon that a logjam that has stalled the bill since Tuesday had been broken and that the measure would pass by late afternoon and return to the House, where a vote on Thursday would send it to President Barack Obama for his signature. A vote was scheduled on an amendment by Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that is aimed at shifting money within the National Park Service to try to make sure the White House remains open to tours. But even if it’s approved, the amendment would appear to fail to accomplish its goal since the reason for closing the White House tours were cuts to the Secret Service, not the Park Service. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., obtained a vote on an amendment — eagerly sought by the meatpacking and poultry industries — that would offer them relief from food inspector furloughs that threaten to intermittently shutter plants. 7YV[LJ[�@V\Y�/VTL $99.00 Customer Installation Charge. 36-Month Monitoring Agreement required at $35.99 per month ($1,295.64).

Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster to delay John Brennan’s confirmation as CIA director, or on the Senate’s confirmation hearings for Brennan and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, they all serve as a reminder of just how feeble Congress has proven to be when it comes to foreign policy. This wasn’t immediately obvious, of course. Paul’s speech questioned whether there are limits on the President’s power to use drones to kill Americans who’ve been declared “enemy combatants.” But the CIA and military have been using drones overseas for years and this was the first time Congress really pondered the issue. That’s a measure of its dereliction, not of stepping up to the plate. Why has it taken so long to see significant congressional review of the President’s power to use drones? Meanwhile, if you followed the confirmation hearings, you’d have to conclude that Congress thinks U.S. foreign policy centers on Israel, Cuba, and the destroyed consulate in Benghazi, Libya. On the long list of significant foreign policy issues confronting the White House — the rise of China, a war looming with Iran, increased tensions on the Korean peninsula, the fragmentation of Syria, Libya, the spread of Al Qaeda to northern Africa — there’s mostly been silence from the Congress. Our strategic framework agreement with Iraq? The agreement we’re negotiating with Afghanistan? The key issue of when, where, and how we commit American forces abroad? Congress has been missing in action. This is not how it’s supposed to be. Our Constitution gives Congress strong levers for dealing with foreign policy. It has oversight of the executive branch, and can hold hearings and demand information. It has the power of the purse, and with it the ability to explore key issues of behavior and policy before approving the budget. It has the power to declare war, and to raise and maintain an army and navy. In the Senate, it has the confirmation process, which allows senators to probe and evaluate policies. Yet for the most part, Congress prefers deference to executive power. Most of its members, who know that their re-election rests on domestic issues, don’t bother to gain the expertise or develop the political will to become potent and valuable foreign policy contributors, as the Constitution intended. Institutionally, Congress likes leaving decisions to the President and then blaming him if they turn out to be wrong — or it tries to have it both ways, as with Benghazi, cutting funds for State Department security and then criticizing the department for not having enough security. The executive branch is hardly blameless. The White House, whether under Republican or Democratic control, typically sees Congress as a nuisance and an obstacle to be overcome, not a partner. Yet that’s a reason for Congress to try harder, not to fold. Our system is based on the premise The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It depends on Congress to hold executive policies up to the light and to weigh in with its own concerns. To do this, members need to be fully informed both about the complexities of foreign issues and about what the administration is doing. They need to make robust oversight commonplace, asking executive-branch policymakers to spell out and justify policies and their implementation. They need to use the power of the purse to grant or deny funds if their views are not taken into account. They need to develop the expertise — both among themselves and on staff — that would allow them to be both critic and partner in the development of foreign policy. And above all, those members who do understand the ins and outs of foreign matters need to press Congress to set aside its reluctance to affect foreign policy. That is where the real failings lie — not with individual members, but with how Congress acts as an institution in the formulation of American foreign policy. Developing American foreign policy is complicated, confusing, and sometimes frustrating. But our country is at its strongest when it is unified and speaks with the voice not just of the President, but of the American people’s representatives in Congress. It’s time for Congress to shoulder its responsibilities on foreign policy. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years. Michael Gormley The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — Artists Against Fracking said neither the group nor supporters Yoko Ono or Sean Lennon have been told to register as lobbyists in their campaign against gas drilling in New York, but will if necessary to continue their work. A good-government advocate and two lobbying experts said the state should review whether Artists Against Fracking and its supporter-celebrities should be registered as lobbyists. The group and nearly 200 entertainers connected with it aren’t currently registered lobbyists, a search by The Associated Press of the database of the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics shows. Registration would require disclosure of how much money the group has raised and how it’s been spent — a measure intended as a way for the public to know who is influencing public policy. David Fenton, a spokesman for the group, said Monday it would have no objection if required to register. “Yoko and Sean, as true with many New Yorkers, have expressed concerns about fracking, participated in the submission of comments to the Department of Environmental Conservation, and visited Albany with their own resources,” Fenton said. “As such, neither Yoko, Sean, nor their Artists Against Fracking endeavor have been required to be registered lobbyists. If there is a need to register, of course, that will occur.” Over the years, several celebrities or their groups have been required to register as lobbyists. But whether celebrities must register hinges on specific circumstances. The line between lobbying and free speech isn’t bright or clear. Under state law, a lobbyist is defined as any person or organization “employed, retained” in “any attempt to influence the passage or defeat of any legislation … or approval or disapproval of any legislation by the governor.” That can include nonprofit groups and their unpaid advocates. The activists, among them actors Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon, are trying to protect the environment from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The group says forcing water and chemicals deep into shale deposits to extract gas threatens drinking water and the environment. The group’s website implores: “Tell Governor Cuomo: Don’t Frack New York.” 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. “You spend money lobbying, you have to register,” said David Grandeau, former executive director of the state lobbying commission and now an attorney representing lobbyists and clients. On Monday, after an AP article appeared on the group, he added: “It’s clearly lobbying” and said the commission “missed the boat.” A good-government advocate said the lobbying regulator, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, should look into the case. “When someone is trying to influence or change public opinion, there’s always a concern if the public doesn’t know exactly how much money they are spending to do that,” said Barbara Bartoletti, of the League of Women Voters. “I don’t know if they are splitting hairs between educating the public or lobbying.” The commission cannot confirm or deny it will take on any case, spokesman John Milgrim said. Ravi Batra, a former member of the commission board, called it an important issue. “When celebrities get involved in influencing public opinion, it behooves everyone to make sure the law is followed to the letter,” he said. There’s no public record of how much money Artists Against Fracking has spent, but its website contains links for visitors to make donations, which are directed to the Sustainable Markets Foundation. Although the foundation is an established charitable organization and its donations are recorded publicly, it isn’t registered with New York as a lobbying client, either. Under New York law, however, it appears Artists Against Fracking is required to be a registered lobbyist because the law hinges on spending over $5,000. The group hasn’t filed lobbying reports, so the amount it has spent and what it was spent on isn’t known publicly. Experts in Albany say the website and public events appear to have cost well over $5,000. The widow and son of musician John Lennon recently attended an anti-fracking event in Albany with Ruffalo, actors Zooey Deschanel, Alec Baldwin and Hugh Jackman, and singer Lady Gaga, along with other longtime activists such as David Crosby and Paul McCartney. A week ago, Artists Against Fracking widely released a music video done through Skype from various locations featuring dozens of entertainers singing a Sean Lennon song, “Don’t Frack My Mother.” In it, Ono sings part of the chorus, “Don’t frack me!” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

A Passport certification course is being offered on Thursday, April 11th at the Wildlife District Four Office. Passport to Fishing is a one-day instructor training program that qualifies individuals to become Division of Wildlife certified fishing instructors, similar to a hunter education instructor. This workshop is free of charge and will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Wildlife District Four Office is located at 360 E. State Street, Athens, Ohio 45701. Passport to Fishing was developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and adopted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. Workshops teach volunteers the basics of fishing and how to run a four-station fishing program with a fishing event. These instructors then go back to their communities, with a written curriculum and training aids, to teach kids and beginning anglers the basics of fishing. By becoming a certified instructor, you will not only be able to help in reconnecting students with the outdoors, but you will also have the skills and resources to help you do it in a more successful way. Resources available include grants, equipment, publications and brochures, and training. For more information or to register for the workshop, please call Chelsea Herrick at (740) 589-9942 by April 9. For additional class information, visit www.wildohio.com. Landmark gun bills signed in Colorado DENVER (AP) — The governor of Colorado signed bills Wednesday that put sweeping new restrictions on sales of firearms and ammunition in a state with a pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance. The bills thrust Colorado into the national spotlight as a potential test of how far the country might be willing to go with new gun restrictions after the horror of mass killings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school. The approval by Gov. John Hickenlooper came exactly eight months after dozens of people were shot at the theater, and the day after the executive director of the state Corrections Department was shot and killed at his home. The bills require background checks for private and online gun sales and ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Two ballot measures have already been proposed to try to undo the restrictions. At the signing ceremony, Hickenlooper was surrounded by lawmakers who sponsored the bills. He looked around with a solemn expression before signing a measure requiring buyers to pay fees for background checks. Each time he signed a bill, applause erupted from lawmakers and their guests, who included Jane Dougherty, whose sister was killed in the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.; Sandy Phillips, whose daughter was killed in Aurora; and Tom Mauser, whose son was killed in the 1999 Columbine shooting in Colorado. Phillips, who lost daughter Jessica Ghawi, reminded Hickenlooper that it was the eight-month anniversary of the theater rampage. “You’ve given us a real gift today,” she told the governor. Later, Phillips added: “Thank you so much. You’re leading the entire country.” Dougherty thanked Hickenlooper with tears in her eyes. Mauser also expressed gratitude. “I knew it would be a long haul,” he said. “But I had faith in the people of Colorado.” Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, who represents the district that includes the theater, said the governor had signed “common-sense legislation that reduces gun violence in our communities by keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic violence offenders and the seriously mentally ill.” The shootings led Hickenlooper and other state Democrats to take on the issue of gun control. They succeeded while members of their party stumbled in other states. Washington state’s Democrat-controlled House failed this month to pass a universal background check bill. A bill requiring background checks at gun shows in New Mexico also stalled in that Democrat-led Legislature. The measures signed by Hickenlooper were the centerpieces of a package of gun bills introduced this session in Colorado. Under the laws, gun sales and transfers between private parties and purchases conducted online will be subjected to background checks. Ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds will be banned and subject to criminal penalties. Both bills take effect July 1. Lawmakers debated firearms proposals after the Columbine High School shooting, and began requiring background checks for buyers at gun shows. But nothing they did then was as sweeping as the proposals they took up this year. in Pomeroy. Burial will be in Meigs Memory Gardens.

With Denver (22-9) leading 5857, Olson shadowed D.J. Cooper on his drive to the basket and got a hand in his face as he put the shot up from up close. Teammate Chris Udofia, who finished 14 points, came over at the last moment to block Cooper’s layup attempt. “We got really good defensive stops down the stretch,” Olson said. Chase Hallam made two of four free throws in the final 1:17 — his only points of the game, including a free throw with 19 seconds left to put Denver up by two. Reggie Keely’s layup try with seven seconds left was off the mark, starting a fastbreak that Royce O’Neale finished with a dunk just before the buzzer sounded. “I thought our defense sort of rescued us tonight,” Denver coach Joe Scott said. “From about the 12-minute mark of the second half on, it really got stingy and it really got good. It was enough to let our offense take advantage and get us the lead.” Cooper had 16 points to lead Ohio (24-10) but couldn’t finish off his final drive in the face of stout defense by Denver, which advanced to a second-round match Thursday at Maryland, an 86-70 winner earlier over Niagara. “I think it was a hard-fought game for both teams all the way through,” Ohio coach Jim Christian said. “We had the ball two times in the last minute and ran a play for D.J. and he missed one that he usually makes. Then we had a play with Reggie. We had the looks we wanted. We just couldn’t hit either shot.” It’s the first time in three NIT appearances that Denver has gone beyond the first round. “It just means the world to us to be the first team in DU history to get past the first round,” Udofia said. “We’re excited to get down this pathway and we’re just ready to play another one.” Up by two at the half, Ohio stretched its lead to 44-37 on Stevie Taylor’s jumpshot with 13:51 remaining. But Denver gradually cut into the advantage and used a 7-2 burst that Olson finished when he banked in a jumper with 7:20 left to go in front 51-50. Keely answered with a basket for Ohio before Denver scored six consecutive points, including a jumper by Olson, to pull out to a 57-52 lead with 3:55 remaining. Cooper then hit a 3-pointer but it wasn’t enough to overtake Denver, which did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. Cooper scored seven straight points for Ohio in the last 1:55 of the first period, including converting a three-point play to give the Bobcats a 32-30 halftime lead. The Pioneers had led by as many as six points in the opening period and were in front 30-25 after Cam Griffin made a 10-foot turnaround jumper with 2:20 remaining in the first.

The Ravens take a 23-16 win over the Browns. 49ers sign veteran kicker Dawson and replace Akers Four locals named to AP All-Ohio boys teams Alex Hawley | Daily Sentinel Gallia Academy senior Justin Bailey (20) goes for a layup duing the Blue Devils win over Chillicothe in Centenary. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When new 49ers kicker Phil Dawson explained to his children he might no longer have uniform No. 4, one of his sons quickly suggested he go with 8. Dawson explained that, too, might be tough — considering it belonged to Hall of Famer Steve Young. Dawson hopes to have even a little bit of that kind of impact on the San Francisco franchise. The Super Bowl runner-up 49ers found their man to replace David Akers, signing the veteran Browns free agent to a one-year contract Tuesday after he spent the day at team headquarters. “It’s hard to pick just one (reason), that’s what makes it such an attractive place,” Dawson said during a conference call Tuesday night. “One of the storied teams in the NFL and a team that’s on the verge of winning it all. … When you start mixing all that together, even for an idiot like me it’s an easy decision.” The Pro Bowl kicker announced earlier in the day via Twitter that he had joined the NFC champion Niners, who parted ways with the six-time Pro Bowler Akers on March 6 following a season in which he made only 29 of 42 attempts a year after he kicked an NFL single-season record 44 field goals. The 38-year-old Dawson went 29 for 31 on field goals last season in his 14th year with the Browns, making all 13 of his attempts from 40 yards or beyond, including 7 for 7 from 50-plus. In announcing his move, Dawson first thanked the fans in Cleveland and tweeted he is “humbled and thrilled to have the opportunity to continue my career with my new team, the SF 49ers.” Dawson plans to reach out to Akers, let go with one year remaining on his contract. Akers was among the biggest factors in San Francisco ending a franchise-worst stretch of eight years without a winning record or playoff berth when the team won the division in 2011. “I haven’t had any direct conversation with David, but he’s a guy I hold in the highest regard both on and off the field,” Dawson said. “There’s worse people to follow than him. The career he’s had is one we all wish we could have.” See DAWSON ‌| 8 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — A total of four players from Meigs and Gallia counties were named to the AP All-Ohio boys basketball teams for the 2012-13 campaign, based on the recommendations of a media panel throughout the Buckeye State. One member of the quartet is a repeat selection to the squad, and two-thirds of the Ohio Valley Publishing area programs were represented at the highest level of Ohio hoops. Eastern senior Max Carnahan earned his second consecutive selection to the Division IV squad, garnering a special mention choice after averaging 16.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 steals per game for the sectional champion Eagles (9-15). Carnahan was an honorable mention selection last season. Southern sophomore Tristen Wolfe was also named to the special mention team in D-4 after averaging 16.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists for the Tornadoes (10-13). It is the first All-Ohio accolade for Wolfe in hoops. South Gallia sophomore Brayden Greer was chosen to the honorable mention squad in Division IV after guiding the Rebels to a 7-17 overall mark. Greer posted nightly numbers of 16.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists for the Rebels while earning his first All-Ohio selection in hoops. Gallia Academy senior Justin Bailey completed the local quartet with an honorable mention selection on the Division II squad. Bailey — a Tiffin University signee for baseball — averaged 15.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists for the 7-16 Blue Devils while earning his first All-Ohio honor in basketball. All four players were either first- or second-team selections at the southeast district level, which qualified them for All-Ohio considerations.

OVP Sports Schedule NFL passes helmet rule, ends tuck rule Thursday, March 21 Baseball Hannah at Greater Beckley Christian, 5:30 Softball Wahama at Buffalo, 5:30 Tennis Point Pleasant at St. Albans 4 p.m. Friday, March 22 Baseball Point Pleasant at Chapmanville, 7 p.m. Hannan at Tug Valley, 6 p.m. PHOENIX (AP) — NFL owners passed a player safety rule Wednesday barring ball carriers from using the crown of their helmets to make forcible contact with a defender in the open field. Several coaches and team executives expressed concern about officiating the new rule, but CommissionSaturday, March 23 er Roger Goodell championed it and Baseball Charleston Catholic at it passed Wednesday as the owners meetings concluded. Point Pleasant, noon Its passage by a 31-1 vote — CincinSoftball Point Pleasant at Chap- nati voted no — was the second significant step in protecting defensive manville, 1 p.m. players; on Tuesday, the league took Tennis Logan at Point Pleasant, the peel-back block out of the game. noon “There was a lot of discussion,” Softball Poca at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Track and Field Wahama at Parkersburg, 4 p.m. Steelers President Art Rooney said of the helmet crown rule, “but the way it was presented was the most effective way to address it.” The tuck rule, one of the most criticized rules in pro football, was eliminated. Now, if a quarterback loses control of the ball before he has fully protected it after opting not to throw, it is a fumble. Rooney said the Steelers were the only team to vote against getting rid of the tuck rule. New England and Washington abstained. “We didn’t think it was necessary to make that change,” Rooney said. “We were happy with the way it’s been called.” Video review now will be allowed on plays when a coach challenges even though he is not allowed to. But the coach will be penalized or lose a timeout, depending on when he threw the challenge flag. That change stems from Houston’s Thanksgiving victory over Detroit in which Lions coach Jim Schwartz challenged a touchdown run by the Texans’ Justin Forsett. Although officials clearly missed Forsett being down by contact before breaking free on the 81-yard run, when Schwartz threw the red flag on a scoring play that automatically is reviewed, the referee could not go to replay. �Thursday, March 21, 2013 Miscellaneous Professional Services “A Place to Call Home” FOSTER PARENTS $25 - $45 a day for the care of a child in your home.

His signing with San Francisco ends a 14year odyssey in Cleveland, where he became one of the Browns’ most popular players, a team leader, and holder of many franchise records. Unable to work out a long-term deal with him, the Browns used their franchise tag on him the past two years. He had perhaps his best season in 2012. Not only was the 38-yearold kicker getting older, he was getting better. Dawson said part of his recent success has been getting the right opportunities, though “when I’m kicking well I don’t think about distance.” He was named to his first Pro Bowl, and on the day his selection was announced, a few teammates and members of the Browns’ equipment staff decorated his locker with Hawaiian mementos. Despite his love for all the years he spent in Cleveland, Dawson is ready to start anew out West. Ending his career with the Browns was something he thought could happen. “There were definitely times I thought that would be the case, and in some ways hoped that would be the case,” Dawson said. “This is just the way it goes. I’m not in much of a position to reflect at this point because I’m so excited about the task ahead. “I’m grateful for the road that it’s been and excited for where it goes now.” When last season ended, Dawson knew his days with the Browns — he was the only remaining player from the 1999 expansion team — were probably over. Before he left the locker room for a final time, he wrote “Phil Was Here 1999-2012” on the inside of a cabinet door adjacent to his locker where he stored his cleats. “Prison style,” he said.

Good things happen to good people!” Dawson finished with 1,271 points, and if he had stayed with Cleveland, Dawson would have likely broken Hall of Famer Lou Groza’s career scoring record (1,349) next season. “We want to thank Phil for all of his years of service to the Cleveland Browns,” the team said in a statement. “He accomplished a great deal in his time here on the field, as a team leader and in the community. “We know how much Phil meant to our organization and our fans, and he will always hold a special place in our franchise’s history and with the city of Cleveland. We want to wish Phil and his family the best of success in San Francisco.” One of the first things Dawson asked Seely on Tuesday was whether he could get into Candlestick Park this offseason and start learning the venue’s tricky, unpredictable conditions — such as swirling winds and low-hanging fog. “It’s going to be a challenge because I’m not as familiar with it as other stadiums,” Dawson said. “I’ll study the weather forecast, and when it’s supposed to be bad days you’ll find me in there. … That’s part of my job.

You often experience conflicts regarding what you want to do and what you should do. Remember, the word “should” carries with it a moral obligation. Learn which voice guides you toward the right path and brings the best results. If you are single, you will attract quite a list of suitors. Have fun choosing. If you are attached, your domestic life is key to every other part of your existence. CANCER can and will drag you down. Handle this association with care. 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 Your immediate circle might be confused by your recent temper and rough edges. With the planet of love entering your sign, you will express more softness and caring. Do not be surprised if you see some of your friends rubber-necking. Tonight: Make a gesture to keep the peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You express yourself without hesitation or thought. Do notice a tendency to personalize what others are saying, and avoid making mountains out of mole hills. You easily might take a comment the wrong way. Listen to what someone else is sharing. Tonight: Speak your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Listen to news carefully, as it likely will have relevance to you. You will discover a different path to the same point. Listen to your sixth sense on this matter. A loved one feeds you a lot of information. Check the facts — he or she might be off. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A compliment could make your day. You might not be yourself right now, and others could be wondering what is going on with you. Investigate a new possibility with care, and be willing to accept responsibility if the option interests you. Tonight: It is your call. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Don’t worry if you feel as if you are dragging your feet and have no energy. This, too, will pass. A call from someone at a distance might surprise you. Thoughts about a future visit and perhaps a more interesting situation come forward. Tonight: Get some much-needed sleep. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might want to head in a new direction. Your concerns about what responsibilities you can pass on in order to lighten your load will be significant. You will discover more options, given detachment and time. Tonight: A partner lets you know how much he or she cares. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Someone looks to you as a person who can be counted on. You could discover how interested you are in how this person handles himor herself. If you are attached, your partner will capture your attention. Realize what is happening. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH What starts as a challenge could end in a different type of scenario that might surprise you. Knowing what it is you seek and heading in that exact direction will make a big difference. Do not settle, even if someone is pushy. Tonight: Sort through invitations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are a sign that is known to be creative. Today, you’ll revel in others’ acknowledgment of your originality. If you are single, you could meet someone quite unique. The love temperature heats up, no matter what your status is. Tonight: Start the weekend early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Know that you do make a difference, no matter how you look at a personal matter. You might be considering an investment that seems too good to be true. If this deal involves your family, you are more likely to be successful. Tonight: Invite a special person over. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You express yourself with a precision that is quite unique. How you feel when in the company of others adds to your desirability. Who can resist someone with an ear-to-ear grin? People become more accommodating when you are like this. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Listen to your inner voice about a purchase; otherwise, you could go a bit overboard. You have no idea how much your attention is appreciated. Someone might offer you a deal that he or she thinks you can’t resist, but you might want to consider resisting. Tonight: Your treat.
