Wildermuth, 99 Sisters of St. Joseph awards grants to programs Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Three Meigs County organizations have been awarded grants by the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund (SSJCF) as part of its program in support of its vision of “healthy people in healthy communities.” At its spring meeting the SSJCF’s Board of Directors approved a total of $237,727 in funding for 30 organizations in southeastern Ohio and West Virginia. They were awarded in the categories of Oral Health, Healthy Lifestyles, Health Equity Priority and Emerging Issues. The three beneficiaries of grants in Meigs County were the Meigs County Council on Aging, $15,000 for the purchase of new kitchen equipment; the Meigs United Methodist Cooperative Parish, $8,000 in support of the Faith Community Nursing program, and the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Pomeroy, $5,000 in support of its migrant program. The Meigs County Council on Aging will be using the grant money to replace, what Beth Shaver, executive director, describes as an “ancient commercial dishwasher and range, both around 25 years old and in need of constant repair,” and to add a second steamer which will double the preparation time capacity. “These new pieces of equipment will help with not only the senior nutrition programs but also with the food we prepare for our earned income. It will aid in productivity and lower repair costs. The kitchen staff is delighted to know that some of their problems will be vanishing,” she concluded. The grant to the Meigs Cooperative Parish is for retaining a faith community nursing program was started 10 years ago with funds from the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund. Lenora Leifheit, R.N., a commissioned faith community nurse certified in gerontology, initiated the program and has an office at the Mulberry Community Center. Her work is geared to incorporate holistic health with emphasis on spiritual needs. She assists with start-up health ministry programs at the Center and in churches and coordinates a CPR and heath fair and other related programs. The Sacred Heart Church maintains a ministry for migrant workers in Meigs County. A Spanish Mass is held at the church by Father Timothy Kozha on the second Sunday of each month at 6:30 p.m. He reports that attendance ranges from 15 to 20 each week. The program has been offered at Sacred Heart for well over a year. Afterward, a meal of authentic Mexico food is served. Father Kozha also noted that Sister Francisca Aguillon has been working with the Diocese for the past five years and comes to Meigs County to assist Mexican immigrants here who need help with any issues they encounter or matters which require assistance in resolving. He said that some of the immigrants living in Meigs County do not speak English. It was announced by the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund that a new Basic Needs/Direct Service Grant program has been piloted and will be fully implemented during the upcoming fall grant cycle where a limited number of grants, each up to $5,000, will be awarded to programs providing direct service to poor and vulnerable populations in this service area. The intent of the new grant program is to provide material aid for agency programs addressing areas of food, personal needs items, and emergency assistance. A webinar on the new grant program will be offered on Wednesday, June 5, at 10 a.m. To register for the webinar, please email Sr. Molly Bauer at mbauer@ssjcharitablefund.org by noon on June 3. The deadline to submit a letter of inquiry for all grant programs is by 3 p.m. on July 10. Submitted photo Joe and Martha Struble register in for the stockholders meeting. Farmers Bancshares, Inc. holds annual shareholder meeting Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker signs a proclamation designating Saturday as National Food Collection Day as Heather Cleland, officer in charge, and Jim Pullins, carrier, look on. Workers helping to ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Again this year the Pomeroy mail carriers will be participating in the National Association of Letter Carriers annual drive to “Stamp Out Hunger.” Saturday they be collecting food items to be donated to the Meigs Community Parish who will handle the distribution to families in the county who are experiencing a shortage of money with which to buy food. L a s t year the mail carriers collected and delivered to the parish 1,871 pounds of food. This is the 21st anniversary of the national one-day drive to collect food to alleviate hunger. Last year across the nation 70 million pounds of food were collected. Nationally the grand total from over two decades has been 1.2 billion pounds. Residents are asked to contribute non-perishable food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice to the fund drive. Donations which are not to include anything in glass containers, are to be placed in a sack near the mailbox for pickup by the carriers around their scheduled delivery time on Saturday. For those who miss the pickup at their homes, bags of food may be taken to the post office. Last week Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker signed a proclamation designating Saturday, May 11, as National Food Collection Day. He encourages the public to support the program which has as its goal to “Stamp Our Hunger.” Southern Board approves personnel items Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The Southern Local Board of Education approved several personnel items during the recent meeting.

Degrees from the colleges of Business and Fine Arts, University College, Russ College of Engineering and Technology, Scripps College of Communication and regional campuses were conferred in the 9 a.m. ceremony. Degrees from the col- leges of Arts and Sciences and Health Sciences and Professions, the Patton College of Education, Honors Tutorial College and the Center for International Studies were conferred in the 2 p.m. ceremony. In all, nearly 3,300 undergraduates walked across the stage in both ceremonies. Keynote speaker Andy Alexander drew on his own experiences as an Ohio University undergraduate and as an alum- nus. He spoke of the unique relationship Ohio graduates have to their alma mater. “In a year, get in touch with your friends who graduated from Ohio State or Bowling Green, and ask them if they want to revisit their college town, and they’ll probably say, ‘Not really,’” he said. “Then ask your friends from OU. Damn near every one of our alumni is sentimental about this place.” Alexander, BSJ ‘72, began his career while still at Ohio, writing for The Post and interning with the Melbourne (Australia) Herald, covering the Vietnam War and the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. He spent much of journalism career with Cox Newspapers, rising to become the chain’s bureau chief, overseeing staffs in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Under his tenure, the Washington Bureau shared the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. He currently is Scripps Howard Distinguished Visiting Professional in the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. In his remarks, Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis saluted all soon-to-be graduates for their hard work. “Today, we honor you—your achievement, your commitment, and your passion,” he said. East about to be overrun W.Va. adopts anti-sexting law by billions of cicadas WASHINGTON (AP) — Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. The insects will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more. Scientists even have a horror-movie name for the infestation: Brood II. But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won’t hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of people won’t ever see them. “It’s not like these hordes of cicadas suck blood or zombify people,” says May Berenbaum, a University of Illinois entomologist. They’re looking for just one thing: sex. And they’ve been waiting quite a long time. Since 1996, this group of 1-inch bugs, in wingless nymph form, has been a few feet underground, sucking on tree roots and biding their time. They will emerge only when the ground temperature reaches precisely 64 degrees. After a few weeks up in the trees, they will die and their offspring will go underground, not to return until 2030. “It’s just an amazing accomplishment,” Berenbaum says. “How can anyone not be impressed?” And they will make a big racket, too. The noise all the male cicadas make when they sing for sex can drown out your own thoughts, and maybe even rival a rock concert. In 2004, Gene Kritsky, an entomologist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, measured cicadas at 94 decibels, saying it was so loud “you don’t hear planes flying overhead.” There are ordinary cicadas that come out every year around the world, but these are different. They’re called magicicadas — as in magic — and are red-eyed. And these magicicadas are seen only in the eastern half of the United States, nowhere else in the world. There are 15 U.S. broods that emerge every 13 or 17 years, so that nearly every year, some place is overrun. Last year it was a small area, mostly around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. Next year, two places get hit: Iowa into Illinois and Missouri; and Louisiana and Mississippi. And it’s possible to live in these locations and actually never see them. This year’s invasion, Brood II, is one of the bigger ones. Several experts say that they really don’t have a handle on how many cicadas are lurking underground but that 30 billion seems like a good estimate. At the Smithsonian Institution, researcher Gary Hevel thinks it may be more like 1 trillion. Even if it’s merely 30 billion, if they were lined up head to tail, they’d reach the moon and back. “There will be some places where it’s wall-towall cicadas,” says University of Maryland entomologist Mike Raupp. Strength in numbers is the key to cicada survival: There are so many of them that the birds can’t possibly eat them all, and those that are left over are free to multiply, Raupp says. But why only every 13 or 17 years? Some scientists think they come out in these odd cycles so that predators can’t match the timing and be waiting for them in huge numbers. Another theory is that the unusual cycles ensure that different broods don’t compete with each other much. And there’s the mystery of just how these bugs know it’s been 17 years and time to come out, not 15 or 16 years. “These guys have evolved several mathematically clever tricks,” Raupp says. “These guys are geniuses with little tiny brains.” Past cicada invasions have seen as many as 1.5 million bugs per acre. Of course, most places along the East Coast won’t be so swamped, and some places, especially in cities, may see zero, says Chris Simon of the University of Connecticut. For example, Staten Island gets this brood of cicadas, but the rest of New York City and Long Island don’t, she says. The cicadas also live beneath the metro areas of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Scientists and ordinary people with a bug fetish travel to see them. Thomas Jefferson once wrote about an invasion of this very brood at Monticello, his home in Virginia. While they stay underground, the bugs aren’t asleep. As some of the world’s longest-lived insects, they go through different growth stages and molt four times before ever getting to the surface. They feed on a tree fluid called xylem. Then they go aboveground, where they molt, leaving behind a crusty brown shell, and grow a half-inch bigger. The timing of when they first come out depends purely on ground temperature. That means early May for southern areas and late May or even June for northern areas. The males come out first — think of it as getting to the singles bar early, Raupp says. They come out first as nymphs, which are essentially wingless and silent juveniles, climb on to tree branches and molt one last time, becoming adult winged cicadas. They perch on tree branches and sing, individually or in a chorus. Then when a female comes close, the males change their song, they do a dance and mate, he explained. The males keep mating (“That’s what puts the ‘cad’ in ‘cicada,’” Raupp jokes) and eventually the female lays 600 or so eggs on the tip of a branch. The offspring then dive-bomb out of the trees, bounce off the ground and eventually burrow into the earth, he says. “It’s a treacherous, precarious life,” Raupp says. “But somehow they make it work.” Law provides for deputies’ body armor CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A fatal West Virginia shootout has prompted a new law, marked by a ceremonial bill signing Monday, that aims to ensure that all deputies have body armor. Roane County Deputy John Westfall was wounded in August by a suspect who had earlier murdered two state troopers. The suspect was killed. Though Westfall was shot several times, the married father of three survived thanks to a bullet-resistant vest — borrowed from the city of Spencer, where he has also served as a patrolman. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin held Monday’s ceremony for the resulting measure, which requires all 55 county sheriffs to provide vests to their deputies starting July 1. A number of law enforcement officials, including county sheriffs and top State Police brass, and several legislators joined the governor at his Capitol reception room for the event. Westfall was at a doctors’ appointment Monday, said Delegate Bob Ashley, a Roane County Republican and the bill’s lead sponsor. Wounded in the hand and shoulder, Westfall con- tinues to require medical care, Ashley said. There are just over 1,000 sheriff’s deputies statewide, according to an analysis presented to lawmakers during their recent session. Only around 50 do not have their own vests, Ashley said. He also noted that the West Vir- ginia Beer Wholesalers Association has pledged money to buy them vests, while the group representing county sheriffs has funding available as well. The new law encourages counties to seek needed funds from federal and other law enforcement programs as well. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia is banning sexting by juveniles. But the new law targeting that activity also seeks to offer offenders another chance. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin held a ceremonial signing for the legislation on Monday. It bars juveniles from making, having or distributing photos, video or other media that portrays a minor in an inappropriate sexual manner. Juveniles who violate this law would be guilty of an act of delinquency. But the legislation also asks the Supreme Court to develop an educational diversion program as an alternative to juvenile charges. That program would show offenders the consequences of sexting, including the potential long-term harm on relationships and school and job opportunities. The new law also does not require juveniles found guilty to register as sex offenders. It takes effect July 12. Bill lets states tax Internet purchases WASHINGTON (AP) — Attention online shoppers: The days of tax-free shopping on the Internet may soon end for many of you. The Senate is scheduled to vote Monday on a bill that would empower states to collect sales taxes for purchases made over the Internet. The measure is expected to pass because it has already survived three procedural votes. But it faces opposition in the House, where some Republicans regard it as a tax increase. A broad coalition of retailers is lobbying in favor of it. Under current law, states can only require retailers to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical presence in the state. That means big retailers with stores all over the country like Walmart, Best Buy and Target collect sales taxes when they sell goods over the Internet. But online retailers like eBay and Amazon don’t have to collect sales taxes, except in states where they have offices or distribution centers. As a result, many online sales are tax-free, giving Internet retailers an advantage over brick-andmortar stores. The bill would empower states to require businesses to collect taxes for products they sell on the Internet, in catalogs and through radio and TV ads. Under the legislation, the sales taxes would be sent to the states where a shopper lives. The measure pits brickand-mortar stores against online services. As Internet sales have grown, “It’s putting pressure on the brick-and-mortar competitors and it’s putting pressure on state and local sales tax revenues,” said David French, senior vice president of government relations for the National Retail Federation. “It’s time for Congress to create a level playing field so that all re- tailers are treated fairly.” On the other side, eBay says the bill doesn’t do enough to protect small businesses. Businesses with less than $1 million in online sales would be exempt. EBay wants to exempt businesses with up to $10 million in sales or fewer than 50 employees. “Complying and living under the tax laws of 50 states is a major undertaking because the process of complying with tax law goes far beyond just filling out the right forms,” said Brian Bieron, eBay’s senior director of global public policy. “You have to deal with the fact that all of these government agencies can audit you and can question you and can actually take you into court and sue you if they think you are doing something wrong,” Bieron said. Supporters say the bill makes it relatively easy for Internet retailers to comply. States must provide free computer software to help retailers calculate sales taxes, based on where shoppers live. States must also establish a single entity to receive Internet sales tax revenue, so retailers don’t have to send them to individual counties or cities. Opponents say online businesses would still have to use resources to account for the taxes they collect and to periodically send the money to each state. Support for the legislation crosses party lines: The main sponsor, Sen. Mike Enzi, is a conservative Republican from Wyoming. He has worked closely with Sen. Dick Durbin, a liberal Democrat from Illinois. Supporters say the bill is not a tax increase. In many states, shoppers are required to pay unpaid sales tax when they file their state income tax returns. However, states complain that few taxpayers comply. In the Senate, lawmakers from three states without income taxes are leading the opposition. They argue that businesses based in their states should not have to collect taxes for other states. Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon and Delaware have no state or local sales taxes, though Delaware’s two senators support the bill. Delaware has long benefited from shoppers in neighboring states visiting Delaware to take advantage of the tax-free shopping, said Sen. Chris Coons, DDel. Tax-free Internet shopping threatens Delaware’s advantage, he said. Many governors — Republicans and Democrats — have been lobbying the federal government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online sales.

Most of the viewers, actor Alan Alda concedes, had no idea he was talking about removing a damaged piece of intestine and reconnecting the healthy pieces. Today, the award-winning film and television star is on a mission to teach physicians, physicists and scientists of all types to ditch the jargon and get their points across in clear, simple language. The former host of the long-running PBS series “Scientific American Frontiers” is a founder and visiting professor of journalism at the Stony Brook University Center for Communicating Science, which has just been named in his honor. “There’s no reason for the jargon when you’re trying to communicate the essence of the science to the public because you’re talking what amounts to gibberish to them,” Alda said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. A better understanding of science, Alda said, can benefit society in ways great and small. Physicians can more clearly explain treatments to patients. Consumers can decipher what chemicals may be in their food. And lawmakers can make better decisions on funding scientific research. “They’re not going to ask the right questions if science doesn’t explain to them what’s going on in the most honest and objective way,” said Alda, 77. “You can’t blame them for not knowing the jargon — it’s not their job. Why would anybody put up money for something they don’t understand?” Alda, who lives in New York City and has a home on eastern Long Island, said that as his 12-year tenure as host of “Scientific American Frontiers” was ending in 2005, he began seeking out a university interested in his idea for a center for communicating science. He described himself as a “Johnny Appleseed” going from university to university shopping his idea. Stony Brook, a 24,000-student state university about 70 miles east of Manhattan, “was the only place that understood what I was trying to say and thought it was possible,” he said. The center launched in 2009. At a gala last week, the Long Island school officially renamed it the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science. “Alan did not casually lend his celebrity to this effort,” said Stony Brook President Dr. Samuel Stanley. “He has been a tireless and full partner in the center since its inception. During the past four years, he has traveled thousands of miles championing its activities. … He has helped train our faculty and develop our curriculum, and he personally teaches some workshops.” Alda has also helped publicize a contest the center sponsored the past two years asking students and scientists around the country to find simple ways to explain such concepts as “What is a flame?” or “What is time?” Among the courses taught by the center is an improvisational acting class that teaches scientists ways of communicating their thoughts clearly to others. “We’ve learned it’s important to set up vivid analogies,” said Lyl Tomlinson, a 24-year-old neuroscience graduate stu- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Rep. Steven Israel, a supporter of the Stony Brook program, said educating people on the importance of science is key to America’s competitiveness in the 21st century economy. He recalled watching a congressional hearing on climate change in which, he said, “a bunch of scientists were trying to teach congressmen about the science of climate change and the congressmen were trying to teach the scientists about politics. It was as if both sides were speaking alien languages.” Alda shared what he called his best examples of clear communication with Tomlinson and his fellow teaching assistants. About a decade ago, Alda said, he was in Chile filming a segment for “Scientific American Frontiers” when he was stricken with sharp stomach pains. He was evacuated from an 8,000foot observatory and taken in an old rickety ambulance to a small, dimly lit clinic, where a doctor examined him and said he would require life-saving surgery. “Some of your intestine has gone bad, and we have to cut out the bad part and sew the two good ends together,” the physician explained. “And I said, ‘You’re going to do an end-to-end anastamosis.’ He said, ‘How do you know that?’ And I said, ‘Oh, I did many of them on ‘M.A.S.H.’ That was the first operation I learned about on M.A.S.H.’” After the classroom erupted in laughter, Alda concluded: “He didn’t waste any time on me trying to figure what he was talking about. He said it in the clearest terms possible. He didn’t sacrifice any accuracy by making it clear.” FORT MEADE, Md. — Government secrecy reaches a new level this week in the court-martial of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst who sent 700,000 classified U.S. documents to the WikiLeaks website. A military judge, Col. Denise Lind, has ordered what prosecutors say is an unprecedented closed hearing Wednesday at Fort Meade to help her decide how much of Manning’s upcoming trial should be closed to protect national security. An unidentified prosecution witness will testify during that closed hearing in a “dry run.” Defense attorneys say that could allow the judge to find ways to avoid closing the courtroom to the public during the presentation of classified evidence. Lind and attorneys for both sides have suggested there are a number of options to shield sensitive material, including closing parts of the trial; redacting documents; using written summaries as evidence to omit sensitive details; or even using code words for classified information. The sensitive evidence includes Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables Manning has acknowledged leaking, along with official communications about those classified documents. The government says the leaks in 2009 and 2010 endangered lives and security. Manning’s lawyers contend there was little to no damage. Lind’s decision to hold the practice run out of public view has drawn mixed reactions from national security and legal experts. Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. David Frakt, who teaches at the University of Pittsburgh law school, called it a “great idea” for minimizing disruptions such as those at U.S. military commissions’ cases involving terrorism detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Frakt defended Guantanamo detainees Mohammed Jawad and Ali Hamza al Bahlul in 2008 and 2009. “The judge wants the trial, when it happens, to go smoothly, and the last thing you want is some inadvertent disclosure,” Frakt said. “What they don’t want to do is to have a yo-yo effect — let the public in, send the public out, let the press in, send the press out,” he said. “We have had that kind of circus atmosphere at Guantanamo, and it just looks very bad.” But Jesselyn Radack, national security and human rights director of the Washington-based Government Accountability Project, said there has already been too much secrecy in the Manning case. Until February, more than 2 1/2 years after his arrest, the military refused to publicly release written court filings and rulings in the case. The military’s highest appeals court last month rejected the Center for 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. Constitutional Rights’ petition seeking timely access to those records, ruling it lacked authority to consider the question. Radack, who helped defend former National Security Agency official Thomas Drake against federal charges that included illegal possession of classified NSA documents, said the “dry run” sounds like a dress rehearsal for a secret trial. “The more they do behind closed doors and the more they do through secret codes or anything else that shields the public from information, like not providing transcripts, those things are all antithetical to the democratic idea of having a free and open trial,” Radack said. Drake pleaded guilty in 2011 to a misdemeanor charge of exceeding authorized use of a computer. The case against him collapsed after the judge ruled that summaries of four classified documents couldn’t be used in the trial. Prosecutors said the originals would disclose a telecommunications technology targeted by NSA eavesdropping. The government has shown no willingness to reach a plea deal with Manning. He is charged with 22 offenses, including Espionage Act violations and aiding the enemy, which carries a possible life sentence. He pleaded guilty in February to reduced charges that could send him to prison for 20 years, but military prosecutors said they would still try to convict him of the greater offenses. Defense attorney David Coombs requested the closed hearing to test all reasonable alternatives to closing large portions of Manning’s trial, scheduled for June 3. Lind agreed April 10 to the dry run, despite prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein’s objection that such a hearing was unprecedented. Fein also argued that lessons learned from a single sample witness wouldn’t necessarily apply to 27 others he has lined up. Fein said at Feb. 26 hearing that more than half of the government’s 141 anticipated witnesses would testify about classified information, necessitating closure of up to 30 percent of the trial. On March 15, prosecutors gave the court its list of 28 such witnesses, mostly military and State Department officials. They include a member of the team that raided Osama bin Laden’s compound, presumably a Navy SEAL, who collected digital evidence prosecutors say proves the al-Qaida leader requested and received from an associate some of the documents that Manning leaked and which WikiLeaks published. Lind took steps to protect that witness’ identity and details of the mission. She ruled in April that the man, identified by the pseudonym, “John Doe,” would testify during the trial in civilian clothing and “light disguise.” Furthermore, he will take the stand in a closed session at an alternate, secure location. She said the trial also would be closed during the entire testimony of three other unidentified “special” prosecution witnesses who will discuss classified information.

Trial of alleged neo-Nazi begins MUNICH (AP) — An alleged German neo-Nazi accused of involvement in a 10-person killing spree appeared confident and calm Monday as her murder trial opened amid tight security, intense media interest and an immediate request by the defense for a new judge. Beate Zschaepe — said to be the sole surviving member of a gang behind the murders — entered the court in a dark suit, her arms folded, before turning her back to the cameras and appearing to joke with her lawyers. The hearing began with two motions from the defense lawyers alleging that the presiding judge was biased. Judge Manfred Goetzl put proceedings on hold until May 14 to consider the defense request that he recuse himself from the trial, which is the highest-profile neo-Nazi murder trial in Germany in decades and could last at least a year. Zschaepe, 38, is accused by prosecutors of murder for alleged complicity in the killing of eight Turks, a Greek and a policewoman between 2000 and 2007. If convicted, she faces life imprisonment. Four others face lesser charges of assisting the cell. Zschaepe is also accused of involvement in at least two bombings and 15 bank robberies allegedly carried out by her accomplices Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boenhardt, who died in an apparent murder-suicide in November 2011. Prosecutors allege the trio had formed the selfstyled National Socialist Underground after evading arrest on lesser charges in 1998 and managed to remain largely off the authorities’ radar for the following 13 years despite committing a string of violence crimes. Hundreds of reporters lined up outside the Munich courthouse in the hope of gaining one of the few available seats in the packed courtroom. Police erected security barriers in anticipation of possible protests by far-right and far-left extremist groups. Aside from Zschaepe, the four other defendants are: — Ralf Wohlleben, 38, and Carsten Schultze, 33, are accused of being accessories to murder in the killing of the nine male victims. Prosecutors allege that they supplied the trio with the handgun and silencer used in the killings. Wohlleben was once a member of the far-right National Democratic Party, which has seats in two state parliaments in eastern Germany. — Andre Eminger, 33, is accused of being an accessory in two of the bank robberies and in a 2001 bombing in Cologne. He is also accused of two counts of supporting a terrorist organization. — Holger Gerlach, 39, is accused of three counts of supporting a terrorist organization. Like Zschaepe, the codefendants were known to German authorities before the existence of the NSU — whose name alludes to the official name of Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party — came to light. Many of Germany’s 3 million Turks have asked how the country’s wellfunded security services, with their network of informants in the far-right scene, could have overlooked the group’s existence for so long. For years, police suspected the immigrant victims of being involved with foreign gangs linked to gambling and drugs. Families of those killed and survivors of the bomb attacks in particular have said they are hoping not just for justice, but answers to questions such as how the group chose its victims, none of whom were high-profile targets. One of Zschaepe’s three lawyers has claimed that his client faces “execution by media.” Wolfgang Stahl told public broadcaster SWR last week that Zschaepe was being portrayed as “evil incarnate, a murderer, a member of a murder gang, a Nazi bride or a Nazi killer” in a way that could prejudice the trial judges. Her lawyers have said she will remain silent during the lengthy trial. Under German law Zschaepe won’t have to make a plea until the end, though her lawyers have said they will contest the prosecution charges. He is survived by his fiancee, Tina Hawley of Portland, Ohio; a step-daughter, Courtney Dawn White of Parkersburg, W. Va.; his father and stepmother, Albert Eugene, Sr. and Susan Kay Lawson of Long Bottom; two brothers, Tom (Robins) Lawson of Portland, Ohio, and Robert (Clara) Lawson of Columbus, Ohio; a step-sister, Margaret (James) Dawson of Shreve, Ohio; step brother, Elmer G. Clark, Jr. of Orrville,Ohio; a step-grandgrandmother, Edna M. Stewart of Pomeroy, Ohio; three nieces, Roxie Stout and Tara Farme, both of Columbus, Ohio, and Katlyn Lawson of Long Bottom; a nephew, Robert E. Lawson, Jr., of Columbus; a great-niece, Alexis, and great-nephew, Jaden, both of Columbus; several cousins, aunts and uncles; and special friends, Sean Williams and Patricia Cruey. Albert will sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, John and Olive; maternal grandparents, William “Bill” and Cleo Hawk; and maternal grandfather, Robert Eugene Knight; along with other family members and friends. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., Thursday, May 9, 2013, at the Cremeens Funeral Home, Racine. Pastor Charles Whaley will officiate. Interment will be in Sand Hill Cemetery, Long Bottom, Ohio. Friends may call from 11 a.m. until time of service on Thursday at the funeral home. Expressions of symphathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.cremeensfuneralhomes@yahoo.com. Bombing suspect’s friend to be released WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A magistrate judge on Monday agreed to release a friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev from federal custody while he awaits trial for allegedly lying to federal investigators probing the bombings. Robel Phillipos, 19, was charged last week with lying to investigators about visiting Tsarnaev’s college dorm room after the bombings. The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student faces a maximum of eight years in prison if convicted. Prosecutors initially asked that Phillipos be held while he awaits trial, arguing he poses a serious flight risk. But both sides said in a court motion filed Monday they agreed that Phillipos should be released on $100,000 bond, face home confinement and wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. “We are confident that in the end we will be able to clear his name,” defense attorney Derege Demissie said. Assistant U.S .Attorney John Capin said documents filed over the weekend by Phillipos’ defense attorneys, including many affidavits showing support from family and friends, might be viewed as indirectly questioning the government’s case against Phillipos. “The government stands by its allegations,” Capin said. Defense attorney Susan Church described Phillipos as a well-liked, honor roll student with many friends and supporters. At least 50 relatives, friends and other supporters attended the court hearing. Church emphasized that Phillipos is not accused of helping Tsarnaev and his brother plan or carry out the bombings. “At no time did Robel have any prior knowledge of this marathon bombing,” she said. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler agreed to the strict house arrest during a hearing Monday afternoon. She told Phillipos he was allowed to leave the house only for meetings with his lawyers or true emergencies. It was not immediately clear when Phillipos would be released. Meanwhile, a funeral director trying to find a cemetery to take the body of Tsarnaev’s older brother and alleged accomplice, Tamerlan, pledged to ask the city of Cambridge to allow him to be buried in a city-owned cemetery because the brothers lived in Cambridge for the last decade. But Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy said he is urging Tsarnaev’s family not to make the request. “The difficult and stressful efforts of the citizens of the City of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and wide spread media presence at such an interment,” Healy said in a statement Sunday. Worcester funeral director Peter Stefan said hasn’t been able to find a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to accept the remains of Tamerlan, who was killed following a gunbattle with police four days after the bombings. He said if Cambridge turns him down, he will seek help from state officials. Stefan said Monday he is looking outside of Massachusetts and does not think Russia will take the body. Gov. Deval Patrick said Monday the question of what to do with the body is a “family issue” that should not be decided by the state or federal government. He said family members had “options” and he hoped they would make a decision soon. He declined to say whether he thought it would be appropriate for the body to be buried in Massachusetts. “We showed the world in the immediate aftermath of the attacks what a civilization looks like, and I’m proud of what we showed, and I think we continue to do that by stepping back and let the family make their decisions,” the governor told reporters. Phillipos is accused of lying to investigators about visiting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s college dorm room on April 18, three days after the bombings. Two other friends were charged with conspiring to obstruct justice by taking a backpack with fireworks and a laptop from Tsarnaev’s dorm room. All four had studied at UMass Dartmouth. Phillipos’ attorneys said in court documents their client had nothing to do with the deadly bombings and isn’t a flight risk. In letters filed with the motion, friends and family members urged the court to release Phillipos on bail, describing him as peaceful and non-violent. “I was shocked and stunned when I heard the news of his arrest. I could not control my tears,” wrote Zewditu Alemu, his aunt. “I do not believe that my beloved Robel crosses the line intentionally to support or assist such a horrendous act against us the people of the USA. By nature he does not like violence. He loves peaceful environment.” Phillipos’ resume, filed in court, shows he was majoring in marketing with a minor in sociology at UMass Dartmouth and expected to graduate in 2015. The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of carrying out the bombings using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. The attack killed three people and injured more than 260 others near the marathon’s finish line. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured and remains in a prison hospital. He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and faces a potential death sentence if convicted. Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery Village, Md., and three of his friends met with Stefan on Sunday to wash and shroud Tsarnaev’s body according to Muslim tradition. Legal issues halt Ohio murder testimony CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio man prosecutors say identified his shooter using eye blinks before he died was able to communicate clearly about his condition despite being paralyzed from the waist down, a doctor who treated him testified Monday. Testimony was halted in the afternoon so a judge could consider arguments about planned upcoming testimony in the murder trial of Ricardo Woods. Woods is accused of shooting David Chandler in Oct. 2010, leaving Chandler paralyzed. But police say Chandler was able to blink his eyes to identify a photo of Woods as the man who shot him. Woods’ defense has sought unsuccessfully to have that interview kept out of the trial. His attorneys insist the blinks were inconsistent and unreliable. Prosecutors plan to show video of Chandler’s police interview to the jurors. Testifying for the prosecution, Dr. Jordan Bonomo described Monday how Chandler used blinks and mouth movements in their discussions of his condition and treatment. He said Chandler, 35, clearly asked hospital intensivecare doctors to try to keep him alive, before his condition deteriorated and he died about two weeks after the shooting. Asked if Chandler participated in discussions about his condition, Bonomo replied: “Yes, often and clearly.” Woods’ defense suggested in cross-examination that Chandler’s memory and understanding may have been affected by trauma, but Bonomo said Chandler was very communicative, using the tedious system of blinking responses. “I didn’t ever have a doubt,” he said of Chandler’s ability to understand. Jurors will have to determine whether Chandler was alert and communicating clearly when he used blinks to identify Woods’ photo. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Beth Myers told the jury Monday afternoon only that the court had legal issues to consider before testimony resumes Tuesday morning. �The Daily Sentinel TUESDAY, MAY 7, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Tornadoes split DH against Alexander Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — For the first time in program history, the Southern baseball team has produced back-to-back 20win seasons following a doubleheader split with visiting Alexander Saturday afternoon during a non-conference matchup at Star Mill Park. The Tornadoes dropped the opening game of the twin bill by a 9-1 margin, but the hosts secured school history following a 3-2 victory in the night cap. With the split, SHS improved to 20-5 this season while the Spartans moved to 11-11 overall. Southern — which went 27-1 last spring — never led in the opening contest, as AHS stormed out to a 1-0 edge after one inning and led 4-0 after the top half of the fourth. The Tornadoes countered with their only run of the game in the fourth to pull to within 4-1 through four complete. Alexander responded with four runs in the fifth and added another score in the sixth to wrap up the eight-run decision. The Spartans outhit the hosts 14-4 overall margin and committed one of the four errors in Game 1. Colten Walters suffered the setback after allowing four runs, six hits and five walks over four innings of work while striking out two. Smith was the winning pitcher of record after surrendering just one run, four hits and three walks over seven frames while fanning one. Walters, Danny Ramthun, Adam Pape and Tom Ramthun each had a hit for the hosts. Trenton Deem scored on an RBI-single by Walters in the fourth. Chapman and Gilden paced Alexanders with three hits apiece, followed by Linder and Thompson with two safeties apiece. McGrath also scored three runs for the victors. The Tornadoes were outhit by a small 6-5 overall margin in the finale, but the hosts never trailed during the second contest. SHS led 1-0 after an inning of play, but Alexander countered with a run in its half of the second for a 1-all game through two complete.
