Counties are set to receive their fourth payout from the Ohio Casino Tax Revenue by April 30. The payments reflect the revenue generated by the casinos from Jan.-March 2013.

Casinos in both Cleveland and Toledo opened in May 2012, while the third casino opened in October in Columbus. Figures recently released by the Ohio Department of Taxation reveals an increase in payments to the counties. Gallia County will receive $85,379.13 at the end of this month, while Meigs County will receive $65,596.92. The payment amount is based on population. According to a census document available on the Ohio Department of Taxation website, Gallia County has a population of 30,708 and Meigs County has a population of 23,593.

OHIO VALLEY — All C8 personal injury lawsuits against DuPont over water contamination at its Washington Works plant have been moved to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Last week, a judicial panel determined that the cases are to be handled in Ohio as multidistrict litigation since they all share “common questions of fact”. All of the lawsuits filed so far involve Mid-Ohio Valley residents who have suffered from one or more of six conditions linked to C8 exposure. Of the personal injury lawsuits filed so far, more than two-thirds of them were filed in Ohio. Charleston attorney Kathy Brown has filed 25 personal injury cases on behalf of Mid-Ohio Valley clients — more than anyone else so far. Brown said that of the cases she has filed in partnership with the Nelson Law Firm and Cory Watson Crowder & DeGaris, P.C., 11 are from Washington County, four are from Athens County, four are from Mason County, West Virginia, three are from Wood County, West Virginia and three are from Meigs County. The Meigs County personal injury cases filed to date involve residents who are suffering from kidney cancer, testicular cancer and thyroid disease. The Mason County, West Virginia personal injury cases filed to date involve residents who are suffering from kidney cancer and thyroid disease. As a result of this week’s ruling, all of the C8 personal injury cases filed now and in the future will be heard by Judge Edmund Sargus. Sargus was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in 1995. He has taught at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law since 2005. Water districts found to be contaminated with C8 include Belpre, Tuppers Plains, Little Hocking and Pomeroy, Ohio, and Lubeck and Mason County, West Virginia. Under the terms of the class action settlement agreement, the criteria for filing a personal injury claim is not based on an individual’s current place of residence. The class involves anyone who lived or worked within the contaminated water districts and consumed the water for a year or more prior to Dec. 3, 2004.

Charlie Wilson, a Democrat who represented eastern Ohio in Washington for two terms after winning a write-in campaign, died Sunday in a Florida hospital, the Ohio Democratic Party announced. He was 70. Wilson had suffered a stroke in February while vacationing with his family and was recovering at a rehabilitation center, Democratic Party officials said. He fell ill Saturday night and was admitted to a hospital in Boynton Beach, where he died at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday with his family by his side, the officials said. Wilson spent 14 years in Columbus and Washington championing for the people of eastern and southeastern Ohio. He secured federal funding for police departments, airport improvements and small business incubators, among other project. Before being elected to Congress, Wilson served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1997 to 2005. He then served two years in the Ohio Senate. “I served with Charlie in the State Legislature The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com for six years and he was a loyal friend in good times and bad,” Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement. “An outspoken advocate for working people, Charlie never wavered in his service to his constituents or his lifelong pursuit to help improve the lives of others.” Wilson won his first congressional campaign in 2006 as a write-in candidate, filling the seat vacated by Gov. Ted Strickland. He had failed to gather enough petition signatures to qualify for the state’s primary, requiring him to run as a write-in for the 6th Congressional District stretching from Youngstown’s southern suburbs to the tip of the Ohio River near Portsmouth. Wilson, who represented a coal-heavy district, served on the House Committee on Science and Technology. He lost bids for Congress in 2010 and 2012. U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, who defeated Wilson in 2012, said he was saddened to hear of his death and expressed condolences to his family. “Although Charlie and I were political opponents, we were never enemies. He served with honor in the Ohio state legislature and in Congress,” Johnson said in a statement. “My heart goes out to Charlie Wilson’s family and his loved ones during this difficult time,” State Senator Lou Gentile said in a statement. “This is truly a sad day. Charlie cared deeply about our part of Ohio, was committed to serving his constituents and worked hard to improve the quality of life for families in eastern and southeastern Ohio. Charlie had a genuine passion for public service, he served our area honorably. He will be missed.” Before entering public service, Wilson was owner of several small businesses throughout the Ohio Valley. He attended Ohio University in Athens and while still in college, worked as a UAW member on the assembly line at the Ford Automotive auto plant in Lorain. Wilson is survived by four sons, one of whom served as his campaign manager in the 2006 race and went on to succeed him in the Ohio Senate.

The Casino Tax Revenue is a result of the constitutional amendment passed in 2009 which allowed for the four casinos to be placed in Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation website, the Ohio Casino Control Commission is responsible for licensing and regulating casino operators, their employees, and gaming-related vendors. The Ohio Department of Taxation is responsible for administering the gross casino revenue tax and for ensuring compliance with all pertinent state tax laws, as well as administrative rules and policies as they apply to other taxes administered by the Department of Taxation. The gross casino revenue tax is imposed on licensed casino operators at the rate of 33 percent. “Gross casino revenue” is the total amount of money exchanged for tokens, chips and tickets at a casino facility, less any winnings paid out to wagerers.

He doesn’t agree with a judge and women’s rights groups that girls of any age should have easy access to emergency contraception. He has hinted that he may disappoint environmentalists by letting the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline be built. And, to varying degrees, President Barack Obama seems to be going middleof-the-road on everything from gun control to immigration reform to drone policy, much to the annoyance of many Democratic activists and liberal lawmakers. It’s all in the spirit of his well-used, Voltaire-inspired quote: “We cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” It’s also a bow to the reality of getting things done in an era of divided government. And it’s enough to make the most loyal Democrats who twice carried him to the White House shake their heads in amazement and anger, wondering this: Just who does Obama think he is? This is who: A shrewd politician intent on doing what’s necessary to emerge from his presidency as a transformational figure — beyond the scope of being the nation’s first non-white president — with a legacy of having changed entire pillars of a country in a period of significant change. And a president who sees most Americans telling pollsters that they want leaders to put compromise over party loyalty. “I see him as trying to deliver on one of his original election promises — to bring people together. This is who Barack Obama is,” says Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor who ran for president in 2004 and later was a Democratic Party chairman. He says Obama “absolutely” seeks a transformational legacy. But he adds: “It has nothing to do with Barack Obama himself. It has everything to do with this new generation that’s transformational and that elected him.” Less than 100 days into his second term, this is a president no longer hemmed in by the constraints of re-election, namely the constant need to keep the party’s foot soldiers happy to ensure money and manpower for a campaign. This is a pragmatic president who sees one last shot — or, really, 18 months before the midterm congressional elections — to do big things before becoming a lame duck. And this is a gambling president laying down a huge bet that the Republicans who don’t trust him, and the Democrats he’s riling up, will help him put his imprint on American society in significant ways. He’ll need both. And it won’t be easy. While Republicans have been involved in the Democratic-run Senate on gun and immigration legislation, Obama faces deep resistance in the GOP-controlled House and can only hope that Speaker John Boehner — an old-school politician — continues to bring measures to the floor for a vote even if they lack the support of most Republicans. If that happens, and it’s a big “if,” then Obama would need Democrats to stand with him. But many represent districts packed with the nation’s most liberal voters, and they have little incentive to help him push through policy that doesn’t sit well with the party’s left flank.

Earned or not, the rap on Obama since he first came to Washington has been that he hasn’t made building the Democratic Party a priority, and it’s an open secret in Washington that Obama doesn’t have much of relationship with congressional Democrats. Party insiders say the president’s outreach to Republicans this year also appears to be pushing Democrats on Capitol Hill even further away. “Schmoozing the Congress is part of the job, and he’s just not really good at that,” Dean says. “I wasn’t very good at that either.” All this raises crucial questions: Has Obama built the coalitions necessary to generate support for his agenda? Can someone who is so divisive even do so? Right now, he is extending cautious offers of compromise to Republicans while avoiding overtly dissing Democrats. It’s a nuanced approach rooted in firstterm lessons and reflecting second-term maturity. In 2009, Obama took office with high expectations set by his own advisers. They talked of a “transformational presidency” filled with big accomplishments to remake society. The president, grappling with a recession and two wars, fell short. He did manage to revamp health care, a significant accomplishment that divided the country. These days, to rally support for bipartisan solutions, he’s drawing on his experience as a community organizer, using his political operation — Organizing for Action — and the power of the White House to organize voters and lawmakers alike behind his proposals.

The IRS uses the information to target taxpayers for audits. The taxpayer advocate, Nina Olsen, runs an independent office within the IRS. She got access to the data as part of an effort to learn more about why some taxpayers are more likely to cheat than others. The study also looked at tax compliance in different industries, and found that people who own construction companies or real estate rental firms may be more likely to fudge their taxes than business owners in other fields. Many of the communities identified by the study are very wealthy, including Beverly Hills and Newport Beach in California. Others are more middle class, such as New Carrollton, Md., a Washington suburb, and College Park, Ga., home to a section of Atlanta’s massive airport. Steve Rosansky, president and CEO of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, said business owners in his city are probably targeted because many have high incomes. The likelihood of an audit does increase with income, according to IRS data. “I imagine it’s just a matter of them going where they think the money’s at,” Rosansky said in an interview. “I guess if I was running the IRS I’d probably do the same thing.” The study focused on small-business owners — sole proprietorships, to be specific — because they have more opportunity than the typical individual to cheat on their taxes. Many small businesses deal in cash while most individuals get paid in wages that are reported to the IRS. The IRS only audits about 1 percent of tax returns each year, so the agency tries to pick returns that are most likely to yield additional tax money. The IRS will not say much about how agents choose their targets. But as millions of procrastinators scramble to meet Monday’s deadline to file their taxes, the agency is running every tax return through a confidential computer program 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.

Each tax return is assigned a score. The higher your score, the more likely you are to get audited because, according to the IRS, the more likely you are cheating on your taxes. The score is called the Discriminant Inventory Function, or DIF. A high DIF score does not guarantee you are a tax cheat but the IRS claims it’s reliable. “If your return is selected because of a high score under the DIF system, the potential is high that an examination of your return will result in a change to your income tax liability,” says an IRS publication that explains the auditing process. How do you get high score? The IRS won’t say, but veteran tax preparers and former IRS workers believe they have a pretty good idea. “If you’re reporting $8,000 of charitable contributions when you’re only making $50,000, that’s a red flag,” said Bob Meighan, vice president of TurboTax, an online tax preparation service. “Likewise if you’re reporting business or employee expenses that are out of the ordinary for your income range, that would attract the interest of the IRS as well.” The bottom line, according to the experts: People who take unusually large deductions for their income get a high score. Also, business owners who claim unusually large expenses for the size and type of their business get a high score. “I had a case here where the person made about $40,000 and they claimed $25,000 of employment-related expenses,” said Elizabeth Maresca, a former IRS lawyer who now teaches law at Fordham University. “Most people don’t spend $25,000 to earn $40,000. That’s an unusual number.” DIF scores can vary across industry, according to the study by the taxpayer advocate. For example, people who owned construction and real estate rental companies were more likely to have high scores. Lawyers, accountants and architects and people who provided other professional services were more likely to have low scores. Olsen said construction and real estate rental companies probably deduct more expenses that are not independently reported to the IRS. The IRS does not like those kinds of expenses because they are harder to verify without an audit. “Construction for sole proprietors has been historically a cash business,” Olsen said. The study, which was included in Olsen’s annual report to Congress in January, used data from 2009 tax returns to plot the DIF scores for sole proprietorships across the country. The city where you live is not a component of the score, according to the study. Nevertheless, researchers were able to identify clusters of likely tax cheats.

Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS FERRY — Another teacher with Mason County Schools has been arrested. Dwayne R. Russell, 35, Letart, a teacher at Beale Elementary, has been accused of stomping on a student’s foot who was preparing to leave his music class, according to the criminal complaint. As a result, Russell has been charged felony child abuse by a custodian causing injury. Russel posted a $30,000 property bond in Mason County Magistrate Court on Friday and was released. The student, who is identified as being an 11-year old male by officials, reportedly had swelling and bruising on his foot. The Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police is investigating this case. This is the third teacher employed by Mason County Schools to be arrested this year. Earlier this year, James E. Jones, II, 52, Point Pleasant, was arrested after an alleged altercation with a student at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School and charged with felony child abuse causing risk of injury and misdemeanor battery. Jones maintains the physical altercation was an attempt to defend himself against the student. After a marathon hearing this week concerning his employment, the Mason County Board of Education voted to terminate Jones. Jones still faces a preliminary hearing in Mason County Magistrate Court to determine if there is probable cause to send the case on to further proceedings in Mason County Circuit Court. James P. Hadinger, 43, Gallipolis Ferry, a substitute teacher at Hannan Junior/Senior High School, was also arrested earlier this year and accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a student. He was charged with two counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or person in a position of trust to a child. Hadinger waived his right to a preliminary hearing which means the case can now go to a grand jury which would decide whether or not there is probable cause for an indictment and further proceedings in circuit court. The next grand jury convenes in May. Wilhelm Dolores Elaine Wilhelm, 93, of Point Pleasant, W.Va., died surrounded by her loved ones on Saturday morning, April 13, 2013.

Boston Marathon bombing kills 2, injures over 100 BOSTON (AP) — Two bombs exploded in the packed streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 in a terrifying scene of shattered glass, bloodstained pavement and severed limbs, authorities said. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the 26.2mile course. President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will “feel the full weight of justice.” A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism. Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the attack, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility. “They just started bringing people in with no limbs,” said runner Tim Davey, of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to keep their children’s eyes shielded from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but “they saw a lot.” “They just kept filling up with more and more casualties,” Lisa Davey said. “Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed.” The fiery twin blasts took place almost simultaneously and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the course. When the second bomb went off, the spectators’ cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site. A pool of blood formed, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stories. Boston police said two people were killed. Hospitals reported at least 105 injured, at least 15 of them critically. Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathons. One of Boston’s biggest annual events, the race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn’t know precisely where the bombs were planted or whether they were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans. He said authorities had received “no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen” at the race. The Federal Aviation Administration barred low-flying aircraft from within 3.5 miles of the site. Obama was briefed on the explosions by Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco. Obama also told Mayor Tom Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick that his administration would provide whatever support was needed, the White House said. “We still don’t know who did this or why,” Obama said, adding, “Make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this.” A few miles away from the finish line and around the same time, a fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. The police commissioner said it may have been caused by an incendiary device but didn’t appear to be related to the bombings. The first loud explosion occurred on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. The second explosion could be heard a few seconds later. They occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the men’s winner crossed the line. By that point, more than 17,000 of the runners had finished the race, but thousands of others were farther back along the course. 2013 Buckeye Hills Ohio Valley EXPO APRIL 20 & 21 12:00 - 5:00 P.M.

Findley followed by lining a 1-0 pitch up the middle past a drawn-in infield and Taylor beat the throw home to score the winning run. Rio Grande took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by senior Zach Dumler (Vandalia, OH), but the Tigers grabbed the lead in the top of the fourth on RBI singles by Allen Hewey and Angelo Simmons. The lead didn’t last long. The RedStorm tied the game in the bottom of the fourth when freshman Chris Ford led off with a single and, one out later, freshman Kirk Yates hit his fourth home run of the season to left field to make it 3-2. That’s how things stayed until the Campbellsville seventh when the Tigers tied the game against Rio junior starter Mike Deitsch (Cincinnati, OH) thanks to a runscoring single by Shayne Kelly. Deitsch didn’t figure in the decision, but had, arguably, his best outing of the season. The righthander allowed eight hits and three runs over 7-2/3 innings, while walking three and striking out nine.

Findley and Yates both had two hits in the win for Rio, while Kelly and Simmons had two hits each for Campbellsville.

The advantage grew to 4-0 in the fourth thanks to a sacrifice fly by Tanner Neilsen. But with a commanding lead and only six outs separating Robertson from his no-hitter, the wheels fell off for the Tiger hurler and his teammates. Yates led off the inning with a single under the glove of Hewey at third base and moved to second on a wild pitch by Robertson. Dumler drew a walk and was replaced at first by Taylor. Freshman Jonathan Schob (Decatur, OH) loaded the bases with a pinch-hit single to left and senior Kyle Perez (Casselberry, FL) drew a walk to force in a run. Robertson was lifted in favor of Drew Petit, who promptly walked Tamane to make it 4-2. Petit was replaced by Jacob Phillips, who surrendered a gametying two-run single by Spies. Robertson came on to run for Spies and a wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position, setting the stage for Findley’s go-ahead single to center. Sophomore Ethan Abell (Mount Vernon, OH) came on to run for Findley and Tylar Schmunk was summoned from the bullpen to replace Phillips. Ford singled to center and, after Abell was tagged out after venturing off second base, senior Vince Perry (Cypress, CA) singled to put runners on the corners. A wild pitch scored Ford and moved freshman pinch-runner Kyle Miller (Wilmington, OH) to second, before a passed ball and a sacrifice fly by Yates plated the final run of the inning. Steele wrapped up a complete game performance by retiring the Tigers in order in the seventh to finish off the sweep. Petit took the loss for Campbellsville.
