Wallar, 70 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 62 Task force investigating scrap metal sales OHIO VALLEY — A team of law enforcement officers, rail road police, Ohio Homeland Security personnel and local prosecutors met recently to discuss metal theft issues with local scrap yards in several southern Ohio counties. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reports that the meeting resulted in the creation of a task force, led by representatives from the counties six counties involved to conduct compliance checks throughout the counties. Personnel from the six counties, with the aid of undercover officers, attempted to sell special purchase articles (i.e., rail road materials, burnt copper wire, etc.) as listed in Senate Bill 193. These materials were mixed with general recyclable materials for this operation. The task force approached yards as scrap sellers, noting their interactions with the yard employees and assessing which yards were operating in compliance with the law. Wood reported the following results of the compliance checks in Meigs County. Three scrap yards were checked for compliance. The first yard refused to purchase special purchase articles but agreed to buy the rest. The yard failed to photograph the seller, violating Ohio Revised Code 4737.04(I). The second yard purchased some special purchase articles and remain- ing materials, including burnt copper. That yard was found to be in violation of multiple aspects of the new law. The third yard was found to be in total compliance with the law. Wood states that those cases will be presented to the Meigs County Grand Jury. Also, deputies recently received information of a registered yard purchasing special purchase items. A two county investigation began with Gallia County resulting in the identification of a suspect and the yard responsible for the illegal transaction. When completed, the information will be given to the county prosecutor for grand jury consideration.

The meeting resulted in the formation of a task force to address the topic.

Celebrating being a kid Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A call for the need to improve learning opportunities for young children is being observed this week by the New Horizons Childhood Enrichment Center where a variety of activities are being held. Monday Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach joined the children in “silly hat day” and while there signed a proclamation designating April 14-20 as the Week of the Young Child. In his proclamation, the mayor, a former teacher at Meigs High School, called for all citizens to “work to make a good investment in early childhood for all of Meigs County. The importance of the observance, sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, is that it emphasizes growth and development of young children vital to building better futures for everyone in Meigs County, Gerlach said. New Horizons opened in 2005 and operated in the Mulberry Community Center until November when the school moved to the Middleport Family Life Center. Michael Bartrum and Cindy Eblin, teacher, are directors of the Center which has both morning and afternoon classes for children three to five years old. Classes are held four days a week, 8:45 to 11:15 a.m. and 12 to 2:30 p.m. This being the “Week of the Young Child,” Eblin said they are celebrating “being a kid.” Monday was silly hat day, Tuesday was backwards day, today is One of Bradley Molden’s favorite activities is watching the caged butterflies. pajama day, and tomorrow is beach day. MIDDLEPORT — The documentary “FrackNation,” by Phelim McAleer was shown and followed by a panel discussion on fracking in a public program hosted by the Meigs County Tea Party recently in the auditorium at Middleport Village Hall. Craig Wehrung, Tea Party president, welcomed those attending the non-partisan event. It was explained that hydraulic fracturing is a method used to release gas and petroleum from underground rock that involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into a rock layer to create openings for gas to flow. In “FrackNation,” McAleer explores controversies surrounding the process, and he responds to claims set forth by producer Josh Fox in the anti-fracking film “Gasland.” In addition to the movie, the Tea Party moderated question-and-answer sessions. Three men took seats behind the front table: Greg Kozera of Charleston, W.Va.; Terry Kramer of Delaware, Ohio; and Tim Wyant of Rutland. Kozera has a Masters degree in Environmental Engineering and has written a book about fracking: Just the Fracks, Ma’am: The Truth About Hydrofracking and the Next Great American Boom. Kramer and Wyant have worked together and have drilled over 300 oil wells. Attorney Chris Tenoglia was also present to answer questions.

Ohio House budget offers Masons property-tax relief COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio House has slipped a provision into the state budget exempting charitable fraternal organizations at least a century old from property taxes. Legislative analysts estimate the tax break for groups including the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Columbus would cost school districts and local governments at least $4.8 million. Veterans’ groups don’t appear to be covered. The House Finance Committee was making final changes to the two-year, $61.4 billion spending blueprint Tuesday. The full House could vote Thursday. Changes the House made to Gov. John Kasich’s original budget proposal give schools half the innovation money the governor sought, scrap his plans to expand Medicaid and send Planned Parenthood to the back of the line for public family planning dollars. The House bill contains a 7 percent permanent income-tax reduction, while excluding the governor’s proposed small-business tax cut and a tax hike Kasich has strongly pushed on extraction of oil and natural gas. The website of the Masons’ Grand Lodge of Ohio attributes the fraternal organization tax amendment to House Speaker William Batchelder, a Medina Republican. They identify “Brother Batchelder” as an active member and say the tax break would allow more money to be spent on charity statewide. A message seeking comment was left with Batchelder’s spokesman. “HB 59 (the state budget bill) is our greatest chance to receive this well-deserved property tax (relief) and enable these fraternal orders to continue their charitable and social work,” the posting said. “To support Brother Batchelder’s efforts to enable our continued charitable and fraternal existence in Ohio communities, please send him as well as your state Representative and Senator a letter to that effect.” The web posting said state Sen. Jim Hughes, also a Mason, offered a similar tax break proposal several years ago as a state representative. The bill was approved by the House but died in the Senate. A 2009 article in the Masons’ Beacon newsletter says Batchelder’s father, grandfather and greatgrandfather were all Masons. His father, William G. Batchelder Jr., was a 65-year member of Medina Lodge (hash)58, the article said. Bob Funk, secretary-treasurer of the Ohio arm of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said his and other veterans’ groups are organized under a section of the federal tax code not mentioned in the budget amendment. �Wednesday, April 17, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Earthquake hits Iran, Pakistan; dozens killed Stuart Cahill | Boston Herald | MCT Emergency personnel assist the victims at the scene of a bomb blast during the Boston Marathon in Boston, Massachusetts, Monday, April 15, 2013. Boston bombs said to be made from pressure cookers BOSTON (AP) — The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170, were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with metal shards, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday. The details on the apparently crude but deadly explosives emerged as investigators appealed to the public for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to who carried out the attack. The chief FBI agent in Boston vowed “we will go to the ends of the Earth” to find those responsible. A person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on said the explosives were put in 6-liter kitchen pressure cookers, hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. They were packed with shrapnel, the person said. The person said law enforcement officials have some of the bomb components but do not yet know what was used to set off the explosives. A doctor treating the wounded appeared to corroborate the person’s account, saying one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs. Doctors also said they removed a host of sharp objects from the victims, including nails that were sticking out of one little girl’s body. At the White House, President Barack Obama said that the bombings were an act of terrorism but that investigators do not know if they were carried out by an international organization, a domestic group or a “malevolent individual.” He added: “The American people refuse to be terrorized.” Across the U.S., from Washington to Los Angeles, police stepped up security, monitoring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events. Security was especially tight in Boston, with bomb-sniffing dogs checking Amtrak passengers’ luggage at South Station and transit police patrolling with rifles. “They can give me a cavity search right now and I’d be perfectly happy,” said Daniel Wood, a video producer from New York City who was waiting for a train. Similar pressure-cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and Homeland Security. Also, one of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the report said. “Placed carefully, such devices provide little or no indication of an impending attack,” the report said. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any role in the Boston Marathon attack. The two bombs blew up about 10 seconds and around 100 yards apart Monday near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race, tearing off limbs, knocking people off their feet and leaving the streets stained with blood and strewn with broken glass. The dead included an 8-year-old boy. “We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated,” said Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., who had just finished the race when he heard the explosions. Gov. Deval Patrick said that contrary to earlier reports, no unexploded bombs were found. Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings, which took place at the world’s best-known distance race, held every year on one of Boston’s biggest holidays, Patriots’ Day. “We will go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime, and we will do everything we can to bring them to justice,” said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. He said investigators had received “voluminous tips” and were interviewing witnesses and analyzing the crime scene. Boston police and firefighter unions announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to arrests in the bombing. At a news conference, police and federal agents repeatedly appealed for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spectators, even images that people might not think are significant. “There has to be hundreds, if not thousands, of photos and videos” that might help investigators, state police Col. Timothy Alben said. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said investigators also gathered a large number of surveillance tapes from businesses in the area and intend to go through the videos frame by frame. “This is probably one of the most photographed areas in the country yesterday,” he said. FBI agents searched an apartment in the Boston suburb of Revere overnight, and investigators were seen leaving with brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag. But it was unclear whether the tenant had anything to do with the attack. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release details of the investigation said the man had been tackled by a bystander, then police, as he ran from the scene of the explosions. But the official said it is possible the man was simply running away to protect himself from the blast, as many others did. At least 17 people were critically injured, police said. At least eight children were being treated at hospitals. In addition to losing limbs, victims suffered broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums. Dr. Stephen Epstein of the emergency medicine department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said he saw an X-ray of one victim’s leg that had “what appears to be small, uniform, round objects throughout it — similar in the appearance to BBs.” Eight-year-old Martin Richard was among the dead, said Rep. Stephen Lynch, a family friend. The boy’s mother, Denise, and 6-year-old sister, Jane, were badly injured. His brother and father were also watching the race but were not hurt. A candle burned on the stoop of the family’s singlefamily home in the city’s Dorchester section Tuesday, and the word “Peace” was written in chalk on the front walk. Neighbor Betty Delorey said Martin loved to climb neighborhood trees and hop the fence outside his home. Also killed was Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager from Medford, Mass., who had gone with her best friend to take a picture of the friend’s boyfriend crossing the finish line. William Campbell said his daughter was “very caring, very loving person, and was Daddy’s little girl.” About 23,000 runners participated in this year’s Boston Marathon. Nearly two-thirds of them had crossed the finish line by the time the bombs exploded, but thousands more were still completing the course, and the area around the finish line was crowded with athletes and friends and relatives cheering them on. Davis, the police commissioner, said that two security sweeps of the route had been conducted before the blasts. Patriots’ Day commemorates the opening shots of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775. Richard Barrett, the former U.N. coordinator for an al-Qaida and Taliban monitoring team who has also worked for British intelligence, said the relatively small size of the devices in Boston and the timing of the blasts suggest a domestic attack rather than an alQaida-inspired one. “This happened on Patriots’ Day — it is also the day Americans are supposed to have their taxes in — and Boston is quite a symbolic city,” said Barrett, now senior director at the Qatar International Academy for Security Studies. TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A major earthquake flattened homes and offices on both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border Tuesday, rattling buildings as far away as New Delhi and Dubai and killing dozens of people, including 34 in one Pakistani town. The massive quake was the second in a week to hit Iran in less than a week, but it was not immediately clear how many people the trembler killed in Iran. Iranian state media said at least 46 people were killed, but later Iranian reports offered a far milder picture. The discrepancies and apparent backtracking in the Iranian reports could not be immediately reconciled, but Iran has faced two large quakes in less than week and authorities could seek to downplay casualties. Iran’s state-run Press TV initially said at least 40 people were killed on the Iranian side, but later removed the figure from its website and news scroll. Other statecontrolled outlets, including the official IRNA news agency, mentioned no deaths and only injuries, quoting a local official. On the Pakistani side of the border, a Pakistani military official said 34 were killed and at least 80 people were injured in the earthquake. All the casualties happened in the Pakistani town of Mashkal, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with military policy. The website of Tehran Geophysics Center said the quake, measured at least magnitude 7.7, lasted 40 seconds and called it the strongest in more than 50 years in one of the world’s most seismically active areas. Press TV called it “massive.” It also was the second deadly quake to hit Iran in less than a week after a magnitude 6.1 temblor struck near Bushehr, on Iran’s Persian Gulf coast, killing at least 37 people and raising calls for greater international safety inspectors at Iran’s lone nuclear reactor nearby. Press TV said the quake was centered near Saravan, about 50 kilometers (26 miles) from the Pakistani border. The U.S. Geological Survey put the preliminary magnitude at 7.8 and at a depth of 15.2 kilometers (nine miles). Press TV said least 40 people were killed, but gave no other immediate details on the extent of damage or casualties. Later, the reference to the death toll was dropped from Press TV’s website and the news agency IRNA said only that at least 27 people were injured. State-run Pakistan Television, meanwhile, said at least six people were killed on its side of the border and at least 47 others were injured. Up to 1,000 mud homes were damaged, it added. A Pakistani police officer, Azmatullah Regi, said nearly three dozen homes and shops collapsed in one village in the Mashkel area, which was the hardest hit by the quake. Rescue workers pulled the bodies of a couple and their three children, aged 5 to 15, from the rubble of one house, he said. The Pakistani army ordered paramilitary troops to assist with rescue operations and provide medical treatment. Additional troops are being moved to the area, and army helicopters were mobilized to carry medical staff, tents, medicine and other relief items. Several barracks that houses members of Pakistan’s Frontier Corps collapsed in the quake, said an official with the Frontier Corps in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. He said a number of the dead and injured were members of the security force. He did not want to be identified because he was not authorized to release the information. The official described the damage in Mashkel as massive, and said hundreds of people had been injured when their houses collapsed. In Iran, the Red Crescent said it was facing a “complicated emergency situation” in the area with villages scattered over desolate hills and valleys. The quake was felt over a vast area from New Delhi — about 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) from the epicenter — to Gulf cities that have some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, including the record 828-meter (2,717 -foot) Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Officials ordered temporary evacuations from the Burj Khalifa and some other high-rises as a precaution. A resident in the quake zone in Iran, Manouchehr Karimi, told The Associated Press by phone that “the quake period was long” and occurred “when many people were at home to take a midday nap.” Pakistani news channels showed buildings shaking in the southern city of Karachi, where people in panic came out from offices and homes. In a message posted on Twitter, British Foreign Secretary William Hague sent condolences to families of those lost in the Iran earthquake. In 2003, some 26,000 people were killed by a magnitude 6.6 quake that flattened the historic southeastern Iranian city of Bam. US military defends Guantanamo prison raid GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Top officials at the Guantanamo Bay detention center on Tuesday defended a raid that resulted in a violent clash with detainees, saying the operation was critical and the handful of injuries on both sides were minor. Army soldiers with riot helmets and shields swept into recreation yards and met with resistance from several dozen prisoners, the leadership of the detention center said in an interview with journalists visiting the U.S. base in Cuba for the first time since Saturday’s clash. The confrontation ended within minutes, but not before two guards were struck in the head by prisoners and five of the prisoners were injured, including one struck by rubber pellets from what the military calls a “less-than-lethal” round fired from a modified shotgun. “The appropriate amount of force was used for the situation,” said Navy Rear Adm. John W. Smith, the commander of the detention center. The guard force raided Camp 6 because the prisoners had for several weeks covered up 147 of the 160 security cameras, making it impossible to monitor them amid an ongoing hunger strike. Smith and members of his leadership team said they were concerned a prisoner might try to commit suicide and there were two attempted suicides since the protest began around Feb. 6. To restore control, prison officials decided to move the prisoners in Camp 6 out of a communal area, where they eat together and freely associate for most of the day, into single cells from which they are released for two hours a day for recreation. The troops who carried out the raid trained for three weeks to carry out the raid and were “prepared for any level of potential resistance,” said Army Col. John Bogdan, who is in charge of the guard force. Prisoners had makeshift weapons, including broomsticks and batons made of plastic bottles and other materials. Two guards were struck in the head during the confrontation but neither was seriously hurt and both have since returned to duty. Five detainees were injured, including one who was hit by rubber pellets. Navy Capt. Richard Stoltz, who is in charge of the detainee hospital, said “there was no significant blood loss,” and the prisoner was treated at the scene. Another prisoner cut his head by banging his head on a cell door in what the military officials said was a self-inflicted wound. Stoltz said he was given about three stitches. Three others were scraped as guards secured the area and moved the men into the cells. The communal holding areas of Camp 6 had once been held up as a model in Guantanamo. Military officials had said prisoners had grown compliant as they were able to lessen their isolation, watch satellite TV and take classes. But prisoners in February started the hunger strike to protest their indefinite confinement and what they said were intrusive searches of their Qurans for contraband. Smith said prisoners may later be allowed to return to the communal holding areas if they follow prison rules. The hunger strike, meanwhile, goes on, with 45 prisoners refusing meals and 13 being force fed. Giffords meets with senators on gun background checks WASHINGTON (AP) — Wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and husband Mark Kelly met Tuesday with the two senators sponsoring a compromise on expanding background checks for gun buyers. The session comes as Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., try figuring out how to push their background check measure through the Senate. “They’re helping immensely just by being here and talking to our colleagues,” Manchin said after the 15-minute session in his Senate office. “We’re close but we sure need their help.” Giffords and Kelly, a retired astro- naut, have formed a political committee that supports candidates who back gun restrictions. Giffords, a Democratic former congresswoman from Arizona, was wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Tucson. “I think we’ll get there,” Kelly said. She and Kelly then entered a lunch in the Capitol with Democratic senators. The Manchin-Toomey measure would expand background checks to gun shows and the Internet. They are currently required only for sales handled by licensed gun dealers. Supporters consider the system a good way to keep firearms from criminals, while opponents say the system doesn’t work and is ignored by criminals. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Sequester fallout begins Sequestration or “the sequester” are the terms used to describe the automatic across-the-board federal budget cuts that went into effect earlier this year as a result of U.S. congressional action. Just one month after it officially began, cuts are already being reported across the state. Here we gather just a few early examples. As many as 365 research, operational and student jobs will be lost as the sequester cuts research and development funding for universities and the NASA Glenn space center. In northwest Ohio, companies awarded federal tax credits will get smaller checks. Cancellation of the Cleveland air show means the loss of some $7 million in tourism dollars. In southwest Ohio, 200 kids lost their enrollment in Head Start and 20 teachers were furloughed. Chillicothe could cut housing aid for 47 families. As the General Assembly considers the state budget, ways in which the state can help stem the growing damage from federal budget cuts should be included in the debate. Research, economic development Nations compete in the global economy on the basis of technological advancement and commercialization of new products and processes. The United States lags China, Germany and others in investment in both R&D and commercialization. The sequester is hitting Ohio’s R&D institutions and companies implementing advanced technology: U.S, Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s office reported that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials will close the cryogenic propulsion research headquartered at the NASA Glenn Research Center near Cleveland, cutting 10 to 15 jobs. A separate $14.5 million sequester-related cut in Glenn’s operational budget will cost another 150 support staff jobs. The sequester will cut by 5 percent a U.S. Treasury Department program that awards funding for a portion of a business’s renewable energy installation, from wind to geothermal heat, biomass fuel and, especially, and solar electricity. The Marion Star Journal reported that hundreds of Ohio businesses, large and small, received these funds in recent years, including Ashland Solar 01 ($185,605 in 2010), Shelby Road Wind in Ontario ($148,125 in 2011) and Crawford County’s Hord Livestock Co. ($27,082 in 2011 for a solar project). Housing Federal officials have sent letters to governors, informing them of cuts to smaller grants. Shaun Donovan, the secretary of housing and urban development, wrote to Gov. John Kasich, “You can expect reductions totaling approximately $35 million.” The Chillicothe Metropolitan Housing Authority expects a 5 percent cut in federal funding, which may lead to a loss of 47 vouchers from its Section 8 housing voucher program. Higher education Sequester cuts are reducing the budgets of individual universities, particularly in research and development. The Ohio State University reports: A 20 percent decrease in funding and grants from the National Science Foundation; Loss in research funding ranging from $27 million to $133 million dollars; A loss of 140 graduate and 50 postdoctoral student positions; A loss of $330,000 dol- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Now, with job numbers like those, one would think that the administration would put out the welcome mat for the energy companies that have invested billions to explore the Utica shale play. Instead the administration labeled those out-of-state businesses as “foreigners” and introduced the severance-tax increase on oil and gas production to keep said “foreigners” from taking profits made from Ohio’s natural resources out of the state. This is a ridiculous notion. First of all, many out-of-state companies have partnered with independent, Ohio-based oil and gas producers on exploration and drilling activity who are sharing in the risks and profits. Secondly, a lot of the oil and gas produced in Ohio will stay in the state. Manufacturers throughout Ohio depend on oil and gas to fuel their operations and having a steady supply will help them grow, which means more jobs and economic opportunities for Ohioans. With a diverse manufacturing base, Ohio will not fall prey to what some pro-tax advocates have called the “natural-resources curse,” where resourcebased economies are doomed to a cycle of boom and bust. Thirdly, despite widely held public opinion, oil and gas production has a fairly low profit margin of approximately 7 percent. But even when a profit is made, the majority of oil and gas producers reinvest it right back into the next well. It should also be noted that Ohio land and royalty owners, many of whom are farmers, would also be burdened with the increased severance tax. While Ohio has a long heritage of oil and gas production, the fact is that we’re still in the research-and-development phase of Utica shale development. Though the Utica holds great potential, we may not know its real value or viability for months or even years to come. If the severancetax increase is enacted and the Utica fails to live up to expectations, the math may not make sense for some companies and they might choose to invest in one of the other promising shale plays in the U.S. or abroad. Already some companies have left Ohio or have substantially curtailed drilling activity. While Ohio’s oil and gas producers support the governor’s efforts to reduce the income tax for hardworking Ohioans, if Utica development is diminished, how will the administration fund its income-tax reduction? Is increasing the severance tax a good idea? No. It’s an ill-conceived, unsustainable tax proposal based on inaccurate information that could endanger the state’s growing shale industry and place job creation and Ohio’s economic future at risk.

A question relating to disposing water from fracturing not treated into nearby creeks? A panel member answered that this is occurring in West Virginia and said that other state are also working on solutions as well. Is there shale in Athens and Meigs counties? “Yes, but its productive potential is still in question,” the panelists said. Might New York release its moratorium on fracking? If fracturing were to hit this area, how would the operation look? What would be the impact on this region? were among the other questions asked. Some landowners have lost contact with the companies leasing their wells; who owns the rights now?

Organizers had contacted environmental advocates, oil and gas attorneys and representatives of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to serve on the panel, with no success, it was reported. Gannaway said he swas disappointed that the other three panel positions were not filled after an extensive effort of trying to locate qualified candidates. However, he felt there were “a lot of good questions asked and a lot of good information discussed.” Southern From Page 1 Kyrie Jordanne Swann, Cody Edward Taylor, Danielle Kay Taylor; Johnny Ray Lewis Van Cooney, Jeremiah DouglasNeil Warden, Julie Ann Weddle, Whitney Paige Weddle, Paige Nicole Wehrung, Nicolete Leigh Wells, Allicia Caroline White, Kody Dean Wolfe, and Jessica Lee Wood.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Organizers of Ohio marathons were among running officials across the globe taking hard looks Tuesday at security plans for their events, with new restrictions and stepped-up police presences considered likely after the deadly Boston Marathon explosions. A previously planned meeting with police Tuesday had added urgency for Flying Pig Marathon officials, with the annual race weekend coming up May 3-5 in Cincinnati. As many as 33,000 people were expected to take part in a series of races downtown highlighted by the 15th marathon that Sunday morning. There are also races in the next few weeks in Toledo, Columbus, and Cleveland. The Cincinnati race already has extensive security and medical response plans in place, but officials will consider whether additional measures are needed, executive director Iris Simpson-Bush said. “We’re just currently conducting our security audit with local police and fire officials and determining what additional measures we will need, as we continue to monitor the events in Boston,” SimpsonBush said through a spokeswoman Tuesday afternoon while she worked on race plans. She said a news conference with police will be held this week. Besides the Flying Pig marathon expected to draw some 5,000 runners, thousands more take part in races that include a one-mile run Friday night and children’s races Saturday. The marathon takes its name from Cincinnati’s winged-pig sculptures, a whimsical nod to the city’s past as a pork-packing center. Cincinnati police officials will also meet with federal authorities as the investigation continues into the Boston explosions. The Capital City Half Marathon is also coming up May 4 in downtown Columbus, with some 14,000 runners and walkers expected. Organizers said Tuesday they will reconsider some public access areas, security at the start and finish lines, bag checks and credentialing procedures. “The entire walking and running community around the country may look at these events a little differently,” said David Babner, the race director. He said registration numbers have actually spiked after news of the explosion, indicating people want to show solidarity with Boston. Organizers of the April 28 Glass City Marathon in Toledo, the Cleveland Marathon next month, and the Columbus Marathon and the U.S. Air Force Marathon at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base this fall said they will review security for their own events. Darris Blackford, Columbus Marathon director who ran in Boston on Monday, said expect an increased police and bomb squad presence, areas cordoned off and restrictions on placing items in the race area. The race is expected to draw 18,000 runners and walkers. “I worry about these things all the time,” Blackford said. “I am up nights scared about these kinds of things, because we have thousands of lives at stake in our events as well. It sickens me and it’s discouraging.” “Runner and spectator safety is always a top priority for any marathon,” Glass City race director Clint McCormick said in a statement. He said security is being coordinated among eight police departments. Ohio’s attorney general said Tuesday that the explosions are a reminder that major events are targets and also of the times that we live in. “When you have a high-profile event, the odds of a problem certainly go up, whether it is the Boston Marathon or the Super Bowl or a big football game,” Mike DeWine told reporters. “… It’s a different world we live in, and in your lifetime and my lifetime, it’s not going to change. We’re going to have to be vigilant.” Among Ohioans in Boston to run in Monday’s race were former U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt, a veteran marathoner; her twin sister, Jennifer Black; the chief prosecutor for Cuyahoga County, Timothy McGinty, and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted’s wife Tina. There weren’t any immediate reports of Ohioans being among the injured. Runner Ladd Clifford said he won’t change plans to run in Cleveland’s marathon next month and an Akron run this fall. The Medina resident finished his run Monday about 15 minutes before the explosions. “There’s nothing you can do about nuts like this except take your chances and hope it doesn’t happen again,” said Clifford, 45, who works for 3M. Rights group sues UK over exports of spy tech LONDON (AP) — A human rights group is suing the British government over the export of sophisticated surveillance technology that has been used to spy on dissidents in Bahrain and elsewhere. Privacy International said Tuesday it had filed a lawsuit before London’s High Court over the government’s refusal to say whether it was investigating U.K.-based Gamma International, whose FinFisher software has been linked to use in more than two dozen countries, including Bahrain, Ethiopia, Turkmenistan, and Vietnam. Privacy International argues that the software’s export may have broken British law and has been lobbying for months for an official investigation into the company’s activities. British officials have refused to comment on whether they’re investigating. In a telephone interview, Privacy International’s Eric King said the lawsuit is aimed at forcing the government to show its hand. “If they reveal that there has been no investigation thus far, we need to challenge them,” he said. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs — Britain’s export authority — declined to comment on the suit, citing legal reasons. Gamma International did not immediately return an email seeking comment, although it has said previously that it complies with U.K. export laws. The export of Western surveillance software to repressive regimes has drawn increasing attention in the wake of the prodemocracy uprisings in the Arab world that laid bare the high-tech methods used by state spy agencies to stifle dissent. FinFisher — a Trojan horse program that can dodge anti-virus protections to steal data, log keystrokes, and eavesdrop on Skype calls — came under particular scrutiny after Bloomberg News reported last year that the software had been used to spy on Bahraini dissident Ala’a Shehabi. �The Daily Sentinel WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Point takes two from Pioneers Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com WAYNE, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant baseball team extended its winning streak to eight straight games Monday night during a doubleheader sweep of host Wayne by counts of 10-0 and 13-5 in a non-conference twinbill in Wayne County. The Big Blacks (11-6) outhit the Pioneers by an 11-5 overall margin in the opening contest and led 5-0 after two innings of play. PPHS added a run in each of the fourth and fifth frames for a 7-0 edge, then plated three scores in the sixth to wrap up the mercy-rule triumph. Wayne — which com- mitted all five errors in the opening game — left five runners stranded on base, compared to seven by the Big Blacks. Austen Toler was the winning pitcher of record, allowing just one walk over six innings while striking out four. Toler, Alex Somerville, Tylun Campbell and Jacob Gardner each had two hits for PPHS, followed by Evan Potter, Levi Russell and Steven Porter with a safety apiece. Somerville and Campbell each drove in two RBIs, while Somerville also scored twice in the contest. Joey Williamson, Kodie Bowen, Brandon Potson, Daniel Bloss and Mike Perry each had a hit for the Pioneers in Game 1. Point Pleasant never trailed in the night cap, as the guests led 5-0 after an inning of play before clinging to a 6-4 edge through three complete. The Big Blacks added three runs in the fourth, then both teams plated a run in the fifth for a 10-5 contest after five frames. PPHS added another run in the sixth and two more in the seventh to complete the eight-run decision and the nightly sweep. Point Pleasant outhit the hosts by an 11-5 overall margin and committed four of the 10 errors in the night cap. Somerville was the winning pitcher of record after allowing five runs (two earned), five hits and one walk over five innings while striking out five. Potter worked two innings of scoreless relief, surrendering just one walk while fanning five. Somerville led the offensive attack with three hits, followed by Potter and Russell with two safeties apiece. Campbell, Toler, Bruce McDermitt and Trevor Porter also had a hit each in the triumph. Somerville and Porter each scored three runs, while Somerville, Campbell and Toler drove in two RBIs apiece. Williamson led WHS with two hits and two runs scored, followed by Bowen, Nate Adkins and Zach Cassidy with a safety apiece. Bloss had a team-best two RBIs in the setback. Alex Hawley | Daily Sentinel Meigs senior Treay McKinney (3) throws from third base during the Marauders 3-0 victory over Alexander Monday night in Rocksprings. Meigs shuts down Spartans, 3-0 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A classic pitcher’s duel. The teams combined for just five hits Monday night as the Meigs baseball team earned a 3-0 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division victory over visiting Alexander. The Marauders (7-7, 3-1 TVC Ohio) broke the scoring drought with a pair of runs in the fourth inning on back to back RBI hits by Matt Casci and Derik Hill. Treay McKinney drove in Michael Davis in the fifth frame to push the MHS lead to 3-0. AHS failed to score in the final two innings and Meigs earned its second straight triumph. Taylor Rowe earned the victory after pitching a complete game one-hit shutout. Rowe struck out two batters, while walking two. Vickers suffered the loss for the Spartans after giving up three runs on four hits and three walks. Vickers struck out six Marauders including four in the third inning. McKinney led the Marauders offense with two hits, both singles, while Casci had a double and Hill had a single. Davis Casci and Bradley Helton each scored a run for MHS, while McKinney, Casci and Hill each had an RBI. McGrath marked the lone Alexander hit in the game, a single in the fourth, while he also got on base in his other at-bats, one via fielder’s choice and the other via error. The Marauders finished with three runs, four hits and two errors, while Alexander had no runs, one hit and no errors. This marks the Marauders first shutout of the season, as well as the first time AHS has been shutout. Alexander has now lost three consecutive games. These teams will meet again on May 2nd in Albany.

Lady Spartans hold off Meigs, 8-6 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — It’s all about scoring runs when you need to. The Alexander softball team marked three runs in the final inning en route to a 8-6 victory over the host Lady Marauders Monday night in Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division action. Meigs (7-5, 2-2 TVC Ohio) got on the board first with a run in the bottom of the first when Liddy Fish drove in Brook Andrus. Ariel Ellis drove in Sadie Fox in the second inning to put MHS up 2-0. The Lady Spartans (6-6, 2-1) bounced back to score five runs in the top of the fifth on four hits and two walks. Andrus scored her second run of the game in the fifth inning, while Harley Fox crossed the plate in the sixth to bring the Lady Marauders within one. Meeks led off the seventh with a homerun for Alexander and the Lady Spartans added two more in the inning. Tess Phelps belted her own homerun in the bottom of the seventh, a two run shot, but MHS couldn’t complete the comeback and fell 8-6 to AHS. Meeks was the winning pitcher as she threw seven innings and gave up six runs on eight hits. Meeks walked four and struck out seven. Andrus suffered the loss for Meigs after giving up eight runs on 14 hits and two walks. Andrus struck out three in seven innings of work. Fish and Harley Fox led the Lady Marauders with two hits apiece, while Andrus, Phelps, Allyson Davis and Sadie Fox each had one hit. Andrus, Fish and Sa- die Fox each had a double, while Phelps hit a homerun rounding out the MHS extra-base hits. Andrus scored a team-high two runs, while Phelps, Fish, Harley Fox and Sadie Fox each scored once. Phelps led the team with two runs batted in, followed by Fish and Ellis with one RBI apiece. Scott finished with four hits to lead the Lady Spartans, followed by Howery with three and Trout with two. MHS finished with six runs, eight hits and three errors, while Alexander had eight runs, 14 hits and no errors. Meigs has now lost three of its last four games, while Alexander snapped a four game skid with the triumph. Meigs will look to avenge Monday’s loss on May 2nd when the Lady Marauders visit Albany. Blue Devils outlast Chillicothe, 5-4 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Good teams simply find a way to win. The Gallia Academy baseball team plated a run in the top of the seventh en route to its 11th straight victory of the 2013 season Monday night during a 5-4 decision over host Chillicothe in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Ross County. The Blue Devils (11-0, 5-0 SEOAL) stayed unblemished through the midway point of the league schedule, as the guests outhit the Cavaliers by a 10-3 overall margin. Both teams committed three errors in the contest. GAHS — which never trailed in the contest — led 1-0 after the first and 3-0 through two complete. The Cavaliers (1-4 SEOAL) — thanks to two Gallia Academy errors — answered with three runs in the bottom of the third to pull even at three. Both teams plated a run in the sixth for a four-all contest, but the Blue Devils came through in the seventh with back-to-back singles by Eric Ward and Gustin Graham to put runners on the corners with nobody out. Jimmy Clagg grounded into a fielder’s choice that ultimately allowed Ward to score, giving the guests a 5-4 edge. Clagg — who picked off a runner to end the sixth after coming on in relief — retired three of the four batters he faced, allowing the senior to pick up the winning decision. Bivens — who also worked an inning of relief — took the tough-luck loss for CHS. Justin Bailey started for Gallia Academy and allowed four runs (one earned), three hits and five walks over 5.2 innings while fanning nine. Clagg also struck out two and walked one. Graham led the Blue Devils with four hits, followed by Cody Russell with two safeties. Ward, Ty Warnimont, John Faro and Bobby Dunlap also had a hit each for the victors. Dunlap drove in two RBIs to pace GAHS, while Warnimont, Ward, Faro, Bailey and Russell each scored once. Busch, Wallingford and Price each had a hit for the Cavs. Price drove in two RBIs in the setback, while Busch, Mischal, Taylor and Moss each scored a run. �Wednesday, April 17, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com 60401897 Sheriff Sale of Real Estate Case Number 12-CV-068 Peoples Bank, National Association Vs Brenda K.

The Point Pleasant softball team received a pitching gem from Madison Barker Monday night during an 8-0 shutout of host Winfield in a non-conference matchup in Putnam County. The Lady Knights (12-7) — winners of seven of their last nine contests — backed Barker up with a solid defensive effort over seven error-free innings, as the sophomore surrendered just two hits and zero walks while fanning 11. The Lady Generals managed their only two baserunners of the game on hits in the fourth and sixth frames, respectively. PPHS outhit the hosts by a 11-2 overall margin and stranded six runners on base, compared to two for Winfield. WHS also committed all three errors in the contest. Point Pleasant led 1-0 after two innings and added a run in the fifth after two Winfield errors made it a 2-0 contest through five complete. PPHS sent 10 batters to the plate in the seventh, Lady Tornadoes trounce Trimble, 13-1 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com GLOUSTER, Ohio — Enough runs to spread over a few games. The Southern softball team found plenty of offensive production Monday night during a 13-1 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division hosts Trimble. The Lady Tornadoes (7-5, 5-2 TVC Hocking) got on the board with one runs in the opening inning and added two more in the second. Trimble (3-7, 2-4) combined three hits in the home half of the second frame to score one run, cutting the SHS lead to 3-1. Jordan Huddleston’s two-run double in the top of the third expanded the Southern lead to four, while three consecutive RBIs by Darien Diddle, Baylee Hupp and Jaclyn Mees in the fourth extended the lead even farther. The Lady Tornadoes batted around in the fifth frame, scoring five runs in the process. The Lady Tomcats were sent down in order in the fifth frame and Southern took the 13-1 mercy rule victory. Huddleston earned the win after giving up just one run and three hits in five innings of work. Huddleston struck out six batters, while walking just one in the triumph. Nikki Kish suffered the loss after giving up 13 runs on 14 hits and two walks. Kish struck out one batter in five innings of work. The SHS hit parade was led by Huddleston with three, followed by Diddle, Mees and Ali Deem with three each. Hupp, Kyrie Swann, Maggie Cummins, Hannah Hill and Caitlyn Holter each had one hit in the game. Deem and Huddleston each marked one double, which were the only extrabase hits for Southern. Deem crossed the plate three times to lead the Purple and Gold, while Diddle, Huddleston and Holter each scored twice. Diddle marked three runs batted in, followed by Swann and Huddleston with two each. Deem, Hupp, Mees and Hannah Hill each had one RBI. Swann and Hupp each were successful on sacrafice attempts in the game. Kish, Allissa Jayjohn and Danica Brickley each had a hit for the Lady Tomcats, while Kish scored the lone run. Jayjohn’s double was Trimble’s lone extra-base hit. This marks Southern’s first mercy rule win of the year, while also snapping a two-game losing skid. The Lady Tornadoes had won three consecutive before falling to Symmes Valley 7-6 and Eastern Brown 15-5 at this past weekend’s Thunder in the Valley Tournament. Trimble has lost four games in a row, while giving up at least 10 runs in the last three games.

EHS broke the tie in the fifth inning when Max Carnahan drove in Kyle Young. Joey Scowden and Brandon Coleman each scored in the top of the seventh, expanding the lead to three. MHS failed to score in the seventh and Eastern took the 5-2 victory. Timothy Elam earned the win after throwing seven innings in which he gave up two runs on five hits.

RedStorm softball splits with No. 20 Campbellsville Randy Payton Special to OVP CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Haley Gwin had two hits and drove in a run, while Jaymie Rector added two hits of her own as the University of Rio Grande upended 20th-ranked Campbellsville University, 3-1, in the opening game of their Mid-South Conference softball doubleheader, Saturday afternoon, at Veterans Memorial Park. The Tigers rallied from a two-run deficit in the nightcap to post an 8-4 win and earn a series split. Rio Grande moved to 18-13 overall and 7-11 in conference play with the split. Campbellsville finished the day at 29-11 overall and 17-3 in the MSC. In Saturday’s opener, Rio grabbed a first inning lead with a pair of unearned runs and then rode a solid pitching performance from freshman Kimber Hazlett (Utica, OH) to the win. Senior Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH) and sophomore Jessi Robinson (Wilmington, OH) both reached on errors to begin the game. After a fielder’s choice grounder to the pitcher’s circle by senior Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH) which forced Walk out at third, a passed ball moved Robinson and Fuller to third and second base, respectively. Gwin, a sophomore from Troy, Ohio, then grounded a single up the middle to score Robinson and, on the same play, a throwing error allowed Fuller to score as well. The RedStorm added to the lead in the fifth when Rector, a senior from Heath, Ohio, reached on a two-out bunt single, stole second, and scored on consecutive infield hits by Walk and Robinson. Hazlett limited the Tigers to just three hits over the first five innings before surrendering a leadoff home run in the sixth to Taylor Borders. Campbellsville put each of its next two batters on base after the Borders home run, but Hazlett escaped any further damage by getting Brooke Boils to bunt into a double-play and inducing Alyssa Barker into an inning-ending groundout to third. Hazlett retired the Tigers in order in the seventh to nail down the victory. Hazlett finished with a complete game five-hitter, while also allowing four walks and striking out four. Victoria Decker started and took the loss for Campbellsville, allowing six hits and just one earned run while striking out nine. The Tigers took a 2-0 first inning lead in the nightcap, thanks to an RBI single by Kristin Benton and a run-scoring double, but Rio Grande rallied for three runs in the second and another marker in the third to take a two-run cushion of its own. Gwin opened the Rio second with an infield single to shortstop and freshman Kim Rollins (Liberty Township, OH) was hit by a pitch before a passed ball moved both runners into scoring position. One out later, Gwin scored on a infield single by freshman Jordan Jenkins (Portsmouth, OH) and an error on freshman Mattie Lanham’s (Rio Grande, OH) popup to first allowed Rollins to score. A two-out single by Walk scored Jenkins with the go-ahead run. The RedStorm made it 4-2 in the third when Fuller led off with a walk, Gwin singled to right, Rollins bunted both runners into scoring position and Hazlett plated Fuller on a squeeze bunt. But the Tigers roared back, scoring three times in the fourth inning to regain the lead and three more times in the sixth to seal the win. Shelby Ray and Borders sandwiched RBI singles around a sacrifice fly by Benton in the fourth, while Borders hit a three-run home run in the sixth. Borders finished 3-for-4 with five RBIs, while Ray and Benton both had two hits and two runs scored in the winning effort for Campbellsville. Courtney Turpin earned the win for the Tigers, allowing five hits and four runs - three earned - with one walk and four strikeouts over five innings. Gwin had two of Rio’s six hits, while Hazlett started and suffered the loss for the RedStorm. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Tuesday afternoon at the University of Pikeville.

ATLANTA (AP) — Former University of Georgia football coach Jim Donnan and a business partner face charges that they operated a Ponzi scheme, according to federal indictment unsealed Tuesday. The grand jury last week returned the 85-count indictment against Donnan and Gregory L. Crabtree of Proctorville, Ohio. The charges include conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud, among others. Lawyers for Donnan and Crabtree did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment. Both men were set to appear in federal court in Macon Tuesday afternoon. The indictment says the pair ran the scheme through GLC Limited, Inc., a West Virginia-based company that dealt in closeout merchandise. Crabtree was president of the company and was responsible for its day-to-day operation, while Donnan’s main role was to recruit investors, the indictment says. The pair offered and sold shortterm investments, and promised investors rates of return ranging from 50 percent to 200 percent. Investors generally weren’t given much information about the deals but threw their money in because they trusted Donnan. He and Crabtree routinely lied to investors about the nature of the business, the indictment says. GLC had little income other than the investments, so money from new investors was continually needed to pay expenses, to pay Crabtree and Donnan and “to perpetuate the scheme by paying what was falsely represented to investors as being a return on their investment from sales,” the indictment says. Between September 2007 and October 2010, the pair raised more than $81 million from 94 investors. The indictment identifies investors only by their initials. But the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year filed a complaint against Donnan and others, saying the ex-coach used his influence to get high-profile college coaches and former players to invest $80 million into a Ponzi scheme. That case is still pending in federal court in Atlanta. The individual losses ranged from a few thousand dollars to about $4 million, an SEC official said last year. Donnan’s attorney has previously acknowledged the former coach was paid lucrative commissions, but he said Donnan believed he was being paid from legitimate profits. Donnan was head football coach at Marshall University from 1990 through 1995 and at the University of Georgia from 1996 through 2000 and later became an ESPN analyst. Among the coaches Donnan helped attract were Texas State football coach Dennis Franchione; Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer; ex-Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer and Texas Tech football coach Tommy Tuberville. Donnan used his influence with former players who looked up to him, federal regulators said. According to the SEC court filing last year, he told one player, “Your Daddy is going to take care of you,” and, “if you weren’t my son, I wouldn’t be doing this for you,” the SEC complaint said. That former player, who was not named, ended up investing $800,000. In late 2009 or early 2010, Crabtree told Donnan that GLC could no longer pay the rates of return Donnan was promising investors. The company began missing interest payments due to investors in August 2010. Neither Donnan nor Crabtree disclosed GLC’s financial problems to new investors. And Donnan, with Crabtree’s knowledge, continued raising funds for deals while promising future returns, the SEC said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
