The 124 Mart at the corner of Ohio 124 and Ohio 7 was robbed shortly after midnight (the station closes at midnight) on Tuesday morning by a while male. According to Meigs County Sheriff Robert E. Beegle, two people were waiting outside after closing time for the employee. The subject used these acquaintances of the employee to get the door unlocked and rob the gas station. The subject is described as being approximately 5’8” tall, wearing a mask and carrying a gun. The subject fled on foot. The suspect in the recent robberies at the TNT Pitstop in Chester and the J-Mart in Millwood, W.Va., is also believed to be of a similar height as the suspect in the 124 Mart robbery on Tuesday. The string of recent armed robberies began in Mason, W.Va., on March 26. The Par Mar Convenience Store on Second Street was robbed near closing time by an armed man wearing a ski mask and dark clothing. The second robbery occurred on March 30 at the TNT Pitstop on Ohio 124 in Syracuse, Ohio. At closing time, an armed subject described as a white male, six foot tall and weighing 175 pounds, entered the gas station demanding cash. The suspect was wearing dark clothes and a black mask. On April 2, the TNT Pitstop in Chester, Ohio, was robbed with an undisclosed amount of cash taken. The fourth area robbery occurred on April 3 at the J-Mart in Millwood, W.Va., on Point Pleasant Road. The suspect was described as wearing a dark hoodie and possibly blue jeans, with a toboggan pulled down to his eyebrows and a blue bandanna covering from his nose down. The suspect in the Chester and Millwood robberies is believed to be shorter than the subject in the first two robberies, leading Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle to believe that it may not be connected to the ones in Syracuse and Mason. All five area robberies have involved a similar gun, with the suspect fleeing on foot, and have occurred shortly before or after closing time at the respective gas stations. A robbery at the Guysville Marathon Station on U.S. 50 in Athens County over the Easter weekend is not believed to be connected, as a shot gun was reportedly used in the robbery instead of a hand gun. Anyone noticing suspicious activity is asked to call local law enforcement officials immediately. Anyone with information concerning any of the robberies is asked to contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at (740) 992-3371, the Mason Police Department at (304) 773-5201 or the Jackson County, W.Va., Sheriff’s Office at (304) 373-2290.

Charlene Hoeflich/photos Spring plant exchange Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com SYRACUSE — What will it be — fern or forsythia, dahlias or daffodils? That was the question when participating in the annual plant education and exchange program held at the Ernie Sisson Shelter House at the Syracuse Community Center Monday afternoon. The education part of the program was led by Hal Kneen, Meigs Extension agent, who talked about what to plant where and when and how to do it. As he displayed various plants, he gave tips on techniques to get the best result — like how deep to plant, what plants need to have the top cropped off, when to expect blooms to appear, and what comes up year after year and what doesn’t. He talked about feeding and watering and then answered questions covering a range of gardening subjects. Of course, the highlight of the event was the exchange of plants.

The meeting will be the third in a series of meetings leading up to the application for the grant. The public meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on April 24 at the Rutland Civic Center. The Neighborhood Revitalization Program is a CDBG in the amount of $300,000, which is awarded annually throughout the state. Each year, 10 communities throughout Ohio receive the grant. Over the past several years, Racine, Syracuse, Pomeroy and Middleport have all applied for the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant, with Racine’s projects currently under way. Surveys have been circulated throughout the Rutland area over the past few months, asking for residents’ input on what projects should be considered. Community input is a key factor in the grant applications, with points being earned for community involvement. There are several other factors that will contribute to the final point total, including how closely the chosen projects match the survey of village resident thoughts, matching funds and other projects. Matching money can include anything from donations to formula money awarded for other projects in the village. The grant is designed to improve communities through several types of projects. Projects which may be funded by the grant include: street improvements, sidewalk repairs, historic preservation, storm drainage improvements, community centers and facilities, fire equipment and facilities, demolition of unsightly structures, water and sewer improvements, park and recreation improvements and handicap accessibility. The purpose of the final meeting is to determine where residents of the village would like to see these improvements made and to gather more data. In addition to the survey concerning the projects desired to be completed, surveys are also being conducted to determine if the area meets the income eligibility requirements for the grant. The Neighborhood Revitalization program is targeted to distressed communities or areas of Ohio which have a low to moderate income (LMI) population of at least 60 percent. Please call the Meigs County Grants office at 992-7908 for any questions regarding the Neighborhood Revitalization Program, or if you would like to participate in the surveys. �Wednesday, April 11, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Meigs County Three Medical school workers Local Briefs Chester-Shade dinner/auction CHESTER — The annual dinner and auction to raise money for the Chester-Shade Historical Association’s expenses of building maintenance and utilities will be held at 6 p.m. Friday at the Meigs High School cafeteria.

TICKETS $10.00 KIDS UNDER AGE 12 ONLY $5.00 IN ACTION WWE SUPERSTAR “JIMMY WANG YANG” & LOTS MORE www.mydailysentinel.com split the Mega Millions jackpot BALTIMORE (AP) — Two public school teachers and a school administrator who call themselves “The Three Amigos” are sharing the spoils of last month’s record Mega Millions jackpot, planning trips to Europe, new homes and children’s college educations, Maryland Lottery officials said Tuesday. The Maryland winners claimed their proceeds Monday and chose to remain anonymous, but the lottery agency shared some details in a news conference, including the fact that each of the three friends works multiple jobs to make ends meet. “If it can’t be you, these people are precisely the people you would want to see win,” Maryland Lottery director Stephen Martino said. The winning Maryland ticket is one of three nationally that split the $656 million jackpot, the biggest in Mega Millions history. The other winners in the March 30 drawing were picked in Kansas and Illinois. Kansas’ winner claimed a share of the jackpot Friday, but also decided to remain anonymous. Nobody has come forward in Illinois, where winners have one year to claim a jackpot. One Maryland winner is a special education teacher, one is an elementary school teacher and the third is a school administrator. All three said they plan to continue to work, noting that they were committed to their students, Martino said. “One said ‘I can’t give up on my kids,” he said. The winners had watched the news coverage over the last week — including stories about a Baltimore woman who claimed initially to have the ticket, then said she had lost it — and joked with each other, knowing that they had the winning ticket, Martino said. He said the woman who was in the news last week is not a winner. Calls by the Associated Press on Obituary correction POMEROY — In the recent obituary for Rebecca S. Dever (nee Elliott) it was incorrectly reported that her parents, William and Martha Elliott, were deceased. They currently reside in Langsville. City proposes giving Ohio University 70 acres for med school DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Officials in a central Ohio city have proposed giving Ohio University more than 70 acres to build a medical college. The university in Athens in southwest Ohio has pledged to build the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, with a goal of opening in 2014 with at least 50 students. The local newspaper reports the proposal discussed by the city council on Monday will be revisited on April 24. Also Monday, the state controlling board approved the university’s $11 million purchase of about 15 acres and two buildings for the school. The city’s plan involves 70-plus acres surrounding that property. University Executive Vice President and Provost Pam Benoit says plans also include a day-care center, residential housing, cultural facilities and research laboratories. Paul Ryan says no discussion of No. 2 spot with Romney WASHINGTON (AP) — A leading House Republican said Tuesday he hasn’t had a discussion with Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney about taking the No. 2 spot on the ticket this fall. Wisconsin’s Congressman Paul Ryan said the subject hasn’t come up, but said he enjoys working with the former Massachusetts governor, whom he has endorsed. But on the matter of joining Romney on the ticket, Ryan told NBC’s “Today” show that he hasn’t “given enough thought to that question.” “I think he still has to go through the process of nailing it down. He still has opponents,” Ryan said. He suggested that Romney is miscast politically because he served as governor of Massachusetts, a state with a liberal tradition, saying, “he reminds me of a sort of earnest, upper Midwest person.” Ryan said that Romney “has the principles, the skills, the skills” to govern the country and put the economy on a stronger footing. In a separate interview on MSNBC, Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, accused President Barack Obama of “putting us on the path to a debt crisis.” Ryan said the budget House Republicans are proposing would spare people 55 and over from cuts in programs like Medicare. “The question is, do we reform these benefit programs … or do we kick the can down the road,” the Wisconsin Republican added.

Tuesday to the woman, Mirlande Wilson, and her lawyer were not immediately returned. Martino said the Maryland winners bought 60 tickets in three locations as a pool. The winning ticket came from a 7-Eleven store in Milford Mill outside Baltimore. Each of the three will receive a lump sum payment of $35 million after taxes. One winner, a woman in her 20s, spread the tickets out on her floor to check them immediately after the drawing on March 30. When she realized one ticket was a winner she called her friends, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s. The second woman told lottery officials she had forgotten about the drawing and went to sleep, but was awakened by her phone ringing and ringing. She didn’t believe the other winners at first, thinking it was an early April Fool’s joke, but they told her they were on their way over, Martino said. They signed copies of the winning ticket and one woman put the win- ning ticket in a safe at her mother’s home. The trio also contacted a financial advisor, who got in touch with lottery officials. When they went to lottery headquarters on Monday, one woman carried the winning ticket in an envelope in her purse and the other 59 in a separate envelope, Martino said. Officials checked, but they won just one more dollar. Martino described the winners as cheerful and humble and a little overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation. One told officials that she had recently made a quiet prayer for help paying the bills. “Clearly, this will pay the bills,” he said. The trio plan to invest their winnings, but they also plan to fulfill a few dreams. The man told lottery officials that he planned to help his children with college expenses, pay off his house and buy his sister a house. One woman planned to go backpacking through Europe with her brother and the other woman plans to tour Italy’s wine country.

A Columbus resident, Reigle has lived his entire life in Ohio, living in areas such as Lima, Sylvania, Toledo, Westerville and Dublin. A graduate of Sylvania Northview High School, he earned his associate’s and bachelor’s degrees from the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College and his master’s degree from Franklin University. An avid cyclist, Reigle has taken part in numerous rides for charity in the past and decided to put together this event, Honor Ride Ohio, in order to benefit veterans. “I thought, ‘How great would it be to raise $100,000 for veterans,’” Reigle said. “Veterans have put their lives on the line to protect our country and keep us safe. I just want to give something back to them.” Many veterans are facing problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as many other challenges and they need assistance. Reigle is asking people from all across Ohio and beyond to sponsor Honor Ride Ohio. “Donors should know that 100 percent of the donations will go toward veterans organizations,” Reigle said. Organizations such as Honor Flight Columbus, Ohio; Fallen Heroes Memorial, Wounded Warrior Project, Ohio; Warrior Scholarship Fund; Hidden Scars Foundation; and the Ohio Combat Veterans will be assisted through the donations. These organizations provide services such as flying veterans to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., paying for college scholarships and funding veterans support groups. Honor Ride Ohio will start in Sylvania on June 30 and then make stops in cities such as Lima, Kenton, Sunbury, Columbus and Dayton before ending in Cincinnati. The trip will take five days to complete. Fundraising events are being planned around Ohio now to support the project. The Rio Grande Alumni Association will hold one of the upcoming events on April 28 at the Bogey Inn in Powell. The alumni gathering will begin at 5 p.m. and will continue until 9 p.m. All Rio Grande alumni, as well as their family members and friends are invited to attend and support Reigle and Honor Ride Ohio. An active member of the alumni association, Reigle enjoyed his time at Rio Grande and still stays Ohio spring turkey hunting season opens April 23 Youth-only hunt set for April 21-22 COLUMBUS — This year’s spring wild turkey season opens in all 88 Ohio counties on Monday, April 23 and continues through Sunday, May 20, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. “Ohio has again experienced a record low wild turkey hatch, with last year’s nesting season negatively impacted by rainfall and flooding,” said ODNR Wildlife Biologist Mike Reynolds. “The early onset of springlike weather and green vegetation could make it harder for hunters to see and hear turkeys, creating challenging hunting conditions this season.” Wild turkey breeding activity is largely controlled by the increasing amount of daylight. Typically in southeast Ohio, hens start incubating nests on May 1. Hunters harvested 18,162 wild turkeys during last year’s youth and spring turkey seasons. Ohio’s current wild turkey population is more than 180,000. ODNR anticipates as many as 70,000 licensed hunters, not counting private landowners hunting on their own property, will enjoy Ohio’s popular spring wild turkey season. A special youth-only turkey hunt for those possessing a valid youth hunting license and youth turkey permit will be held April 21-22. Young hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult, 18 years of age or older. The young hunter’s turkey season is open statewide with the exception of Lake La Su An State Wildlife Area in Williams County, which requires a special hunting permit. Legal hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to sunset each day during the two-day youth season. All hunters must report their harvest of turkeys, but they are no longer required to take their turkey to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters will have three options to complete the automated game check: Online at www.wildohio.com or www. ohiogamecheck.com; By telephone at 877-TAG-ITOH (877824-4864); At all license agents. A list of agents can be found at wildohio.com or by calling 800-WILDLIFE. Game-check transactions will be available online and by telephone seven days a week and during holidays. Landowner hunters who are not required to purchase a fall turkey permit must use the website or a license agent to check their turkey, but cannot use the phone-in method. Legal hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until noon from April 23 to May 6. Hunting hours from May 7-20 will be a half-hour before sunrise to sunset. An incorrect start date for the all day turkey hunting hours was printed in the 2011-12 Hunting Regulations booklet. The first day for all day hunting is May 7. Hunters are required to have a hunting license and a spring turkey-hunting permit. They can also take one bearded turkey per day. A second spring turkey permit can be purchased allowing hunters to take a limit of two bearded wild turkeys. Turkeys must be checked by 11:30 p.m. the day of harvest. Hunters may use shotguns, longbows and crossbows to hunt wild turkeys; however, it is unlawful to hunt turkeys using bait, live decoys or electronic calling devices or to shoot a wild turkey while it is in a tree. The Division of Wildlife advises turkey hunters to wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving or moving through hunting areas in order to remain visible to others. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.com. PVH holds National Organ Donation Month ceremony POINT PLEASANT — Throughout the month of April, Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) is celebrating National Organ Donation Month. A kickoff ceremony and flag raising were held on Monday, April 2, in the hospital’s main lobby. PVH employees, friends, donor families and recipients were in attendance. “Celebrating the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, marrow and blood donors is something very special. It is very important to us to see through the final wishes of our donors,” said Tom Schauer, CEO. Recently, the family of Mildred Shields agreed to give the gift of life when she passed away at PVH. Because of this decision, a 60-year old woman received Shields’ kidney in a Charleston, W.Va. hospital, and a 56-year old man received her liver in a Pittsburgh, PA-based hospital. When a family is facing the loss of a loved one, they are dealing with one of the most difficult moments in their lives. PVH’s CORE liaison, Lori Nunn, the PVH staff, and CORE representatives work closely with these families with the goal of honoring and respecting their wishes as they contemplate the life-saving gift that their loved one can give to someone else. Through Shields’ gifts, two individuals in need of a Submitted photo Pictured are members of American Legion Post 23 with (left to right) Tom Schauer, CEO of PVH, Larry “Gene” Harper, organ recipient, Tim Johnson, organ recipient, Lori Nunn, Med/Surg and Critical Care Manager of PVH, and Annette Boyles, donor mother and PVH board member. life-saving transplant were given hope and a second chance at life.

He is also an active member of the Alpha Sigma Phi Alumni Association. As a communications/public relations major, Reigle said he learned a great deal in his classes at Rio Grande and in his internship work at Canter’s Cave in Jackson that helped prepare him for his career. He enjoyed his time at Rio Grande and is looking forward to seeing many other graduates at the April 28 event. “I want to see a lot of people come to the alumni gathering and support the veterans,” Reigle said. Another fundraising activity is being held at Rotelli’s restaurant in Gahanna on Thursday, April 26. The Gahanna Rotary Club is sponsoring the fundraising night, when 15 percent of the proceeds from the food sold will go toward the Honor Ride Ohio. Reigle originally thought he would be the only rider in the event, but as he was planning the project four friends of his who are veterans told him that they also wanted to take part in Honor Ohio Ride. The other riders will be Matt Miller, who is originally from Omaha, Nebraska, but today lives in Columbus; Adrienne Corna, who is from Dublin and plans to one day bike ride from Ohio to Florida; Daniel “Hutch” Hutchison, who is the founder of Ohio Combat Veterans; and Mike Karp, who is from Cincinnati and lives in Columbus where he is active with numerous veterans organizations.

Rio Grande to present The Who’s ‘Tommy’ on April 20 RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/ Rio Grande Community College will present The Who’s “Tommy,” on Friday, April 20 and Saturday, April 21. Both performances will begin at 8 p.m. inside the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center on the Rio Grande campus. The Who’s “Tommy,” tells the story of a young boy whose father goes off to war and then returns. The boy then witnesses an altercation between his parents and is traumatized by the experience. He retreats into himself and becomes essentially deaf, dumb and blind. The boy then travels, has different experiences and eventually finds a form of release in playing pinball. He becomes known as “the pinball wizard,” and then eventually manages to deal with his past experiences and communicates with the world again. The main character tells others about the inner peace that he found when he was deaf, dumb and blind, and then he ultimately finds redemption in the arms of his family. The Rio Grande production of the Tony Award-winning Broadway play will feature the talents of numerous outstanding students and area residents. This production will be a staged concert version of the play, meaning that the lead roles will be singing and acting all of the songs and tell the story, but there will not be some of the props and sets featured in the large-scale productions. Nathan Wood of Patriot will star in the production and will play the role of Tommy. He is a senior majoring in individualized performing arts. Freshman Aryn Gritter of Columbus will also play a lead role, taking on the part of Mrs. Walker. A music comprehensive major, Gritter is the recipient of the full tuition Music Scholarship for the 2011-2012 school year. Rio Grande graduate Steven Sisson will also play a lead role, as he will portray Captain Walker in the production. A Gallia County native, Sisson has been active in theater productions around the region in recent years and currently works at Holzer Medical Center. “We also have some young kids who are outstanding,” Director Greg Miller, Ph.D., said about the cast. The young actors include Lily Colley and Seneca Cox playing the parts of 4-year-old and 10-year-old Tommy, respectively. “They have been a pleasure to work with,” Miller said.

But what if they’re wrong? What if the sharp drop in job creation signaled something more ominous? Investors appeared worried Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 131 points on the first day of trading since the government said Friday that employers added just 120,000 jobs in March. That was only half the pace of hiring the economy enjoyed in December through February and well below the 210,000 economists had expected. Economists were quick to explain away the March numbers. Unseasonably warm weather in January and February, they said, had led construction companies and other employers to hire workers earlier in the year than usual — in effect, swiping jobs that would have occurred in March. And they noted that jobs numbers typically bounce around from month to month. Some economists are waiting to see whether employment growth picks up again when the hiring numbers for April are announced the first week of May. But many also see reasons to worry about the job market. Here are five: Sluggish economic growth The economy hasn’t been growing fast enough to sustain the level of job growth the United States enjoyed from December through February — an average of 246,000 jobs a month. The economy is expected grow around 2.5 percent this year. Economists say that’s consistent with monthly job growth of around 140,000. Some economists fear that March’s weaker numbers are just a return to the normal link between economic and job growth — and that hiring won’t pick up until the economy accelerates. Higher gasoline prices U.S. gasoline prices have risen 65 cents this year to a national average $3.93 gallon, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge. Economists had expected consumers to keep spending at a healthy pace in the face of higher prices at the pump. Partly, that was because consumers had endured a run-up in gasoline prices last year and would be less vulnerable to sticker shock. Moreover, many households have reduced debts and are in better financial shape. But retailers cut more than 62,000 jobs in February and March. That suggested that gasoline price hikes might have started to pinch consumers’ budgets — and their willingness to shop, says Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors. Consumers drive about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, so their spending is crucial for economic and job growth. Shrinking incomes Companies cut workers’ hours in March, reducing their average weekly earnings. Pay isn’t keeping up with inflation either. In February, inflationadjusted earnings were 1 percent lower than a year earlier. That means less money to spend without borrowing or dipping into savings. And many consumers are swearing off credit card debt: They cut credit card borrowing by $5 billion this year through February.

But the job market might not be as strong as those numbers suggest. One broad measure of the labor market’s health refuses to strengthen: The percentage of the working-age population that’s actually working has been stuck below 59 percent for 2½ years. It hadn’t previously, fallen that low since 1984, before many women poured into the work force. Many economists say millions of Americans have given up looking for work. “People have left the labor force because frankly the prospects for employment remain anemic,” says Bank of America economist Neil Dutta. A lot of catching up to do The solid job gains of December to February disguised a painful fact: The economy still has a long way to go recover all the jobs lost in the Great Recession and its aftermath. From January 2008 to February 2010, the economy lost 8.8 million jobs. About 3.6 million, or 40 percent, of those have been regained. Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute, calculates that, accounting for population growth, the United States would have to create 350,000 jobs a month for three years to return to pre-recession employment levels. That’s nearly three times as many jobs as the economy generated last month. “We’re doing better than a total slog,” she says, “but we are not getting the really robust job growth we need.” Page 4 Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Obama’s monumental misunderstanding By Dr. John A. Sparks President Obama recently complained about the possibility of the Supreme Court striking down Obamacare. He used the term “unprecedented” and was critical of “judicial activism” engaged in by “unelected” judges. In so doing, he showed his monumental misunderstanding of American government, which should be of concern to every American who values constitutional government. Let’s take each claim in turn. The first is the assertion that if the Supreme Court were to find the healthcare law to be unconstitutional, it would be acting in an unprecedented way. As my beginning undergraduate constitutional history students know, the Court has struck down all of or parts of federal enactments for over 200 years. Beginning with the best-known constitutional case in American history in 1803, Marbury v. Madison, Supreme Court justices established themselves as members of that branch of government whose province it is to strike down any legislation that is repugnant to the higher law of the Constitution. Ever since, when necessary, the Supreme Court has acted in that capacity. The latest U.S. Government Printing Office tally of Congressional acts declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court through 2002 lists 158 pieces of legislation struck down. If one adds state and local laws found unconstitutional by the Court, the number is over 1,300. The president also complains that the judges who threaten his Affordable Care Act are “unelected.” Of course, Obama knows full well that Supreme Court judges, as with all federal judges, must be appointed by the president of the United States, an elected official. Further, all federal judges must be confirmed by action of the Senate, also made up of elected officials. The idea that no elected officials play a part in choosing Supreme Court judges 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. is fiction. What is more perplexing about the president’s statement is that he himself has appointed two Supreme Court judges. If he were to be elected for a second term, he would likely have the opportunity to appoint another Supreme Court judge, meaning that he would have appointed one third of the Court. Also, what the president refuses to recognize is that the Founders did not intend the federal government to be constituted entirely by direct popular election. The government is to be made up of a mixture of elected and appointed officials to resist, among other things, the power of short-lived majorities to destroy long-standing constitutional protections. Finally, President Obama argues that if the Supreme Court found his healthcare law unconstitutional, it would be an example of “judicial activism” long condemned by conservatives. Again, the president sees any legitimate restraint on his ideological agenda as unwarranted. The careful consideration of whether a piece of legislation is consistent with the powers granted to the legislative branch by the Constitution is not judicial activism. It is doing what the Court is called upon to do—restrain attempts by any branch to usurp power. Real judicial activism occurs when the Court concocts “new rights” which are not found in the Constitution nor approved by any legislature, such as in Roe v. Wade. President Obama is wrong on all three counts. If the Court strikes down Obamacare, it will be nothing new, and it will not be the product of judicial excess. Dr. John A. Sparks is dean of the A. J.

During the meeting conducted by Rae Moore, president of Council, in the absence of the mayor, the village renewed property and liability insurance for the village with Kinders. The renewal followed a report from Councilman Craig Wehrung on the cost, less than last year, based on the number of claims made.Wehrung also proposed that something be done in the way of upgrading, replacing or painting the rusty guard rail on Middleport Hill. On the recommendation of Council member Emerson Heighton, it was voted to reimburse the Middle- port Youth League for the $400 they paid to repair an electrical problem at Hartinger Park. Mony Wood, jail administrator, reported on the jail operation noting that between March 26 and April 9, 35 inmates had been booked. Thirteen were Middleport inmates, while 22 were from other agencies including Meigs, Gallia, Athens, Syracuse and Pomeroy. The inmates included 22 men and 13 women. Six were held for eight hours or less, and one was transported for medical treatment. The firemen’s report for March submitted by Jeff Darst, fire chief, noted that the department answered 10 calls, drove vehicles 567 miles, and logged 142.9 man hours, and spent 62 hours on station and equipment maintenance. Of those calls, three were structure fires, one was a trash fire, and another was a vehicle fire. Two were mutual aid calls, one in Rutland and the other in Pomeroy, and another was a rescue situation. Brenda Barnhart met with Council about the upcoming National Day of Prayer observance to begin on April 29 at 3 p.m. when the courthouse is circled with praying people. On that date, the walking path in Pomeroy will be marked with signs concerning issues for which people can pray and will remain in place through May 3 when the observance takes place on the Courthouse steps. Several other activities will be taking place to mark the observance including a three-day Bible reading marathon, a youth observance and pastors praying from boats docked at the Pomeroy levee.

(AP) — Bowing to the inevitable, Rick Santorum quit the presidential campaign Tuesday, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination. Santorum, appearing with his wife and children in his home state of Pennsylvania, told supporters the race for him was over, but the fight to defeat President Barack Obama would go on. He pointedly made no mention or endorsement of Romney, whom Santorum had derided as an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP. The former Pennsylvania senator stressed that he’d taken his campaign farther than anyone expected. “We will continue to go out and fight and defeat President Barack Obama,” Santorum declared. Santorum spoke with Romney before the announcement, a Republican source close to the campaign said. The delegate totals told the tale of Santorum’s demise. Romney has more than twice as many delegates as Santorum and is on pace to reach the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination by early June. Still in the race, but not considered a factor: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Santorum had been hoping to hold out through the primary in Pennsylvania on April 24, but decided to fold up after his severely ill 3-year-old daughter, Bella, spent the weekend in the hospital. Santorum, a feisty campaigner who took everyone by surprise with his win in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, ran on his conservative credentials and his experience in Congress — he was a House member for four years and senator for 12 — but was hobbled by a lack of money and organization. Santorum stressed the improbable accomplishment of the past year, saying that “against all odds, we won 11 states, millions of voters, millions of votes.” He said that while Romney was accumulating more delegates, “we were winning in a very different way. We were touching hearts” with his conservative message. In a statement, Romney called Santorum “an able and worthy competitor” and congratulated him on his campaign. “He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation,” Romney said. “We both recognize that what is most important is putting the failures of the last three years behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity.” MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Nine men who survived West Virginia’s Upper Big Branch mine disaster want to abandon mediation of their personal injury claims and start gathering evidence for trial because they say the mine’s new owner isn’t negotiating in good faith. The miners also suggest one reason Virginia-based Alpha Natural Resources is sealing the former Massey Energy mine where 29 men died is to prevent that collection of evidence, according to a motion to lift a stay that’s been in place since last September. The plaintiffs said they’ve been forced to rely on government and independent reports on the worst U.S. mining disaster in four decades. Alpha, which acquired Massey and the mine near Montcoal in a $7.1 billion deal last summer, declined to discuss the mediations, saying they’re confidential by court order. “Alpha intends to respect the court’s authority and directives,” said spokesman Ted Pile. In January, attorneys for the families of the 29 killed announced they’d settled their wrongful death lawsuits with Alpha. The terms were not disclosed, but the plaintiffs contend Alpha’s stock price rose significantly after the announcement, buoyed by the positive headlines. “What was not announced was the fact that the serious claims of those miners that survived the explosive blasts that day remained unsettled,” said the motion that was filed last week in Boone County Circuit Court. The nine plaintiffs said they’ve suffered serious, permanent and debilitating physical and psychological injuries as a result of the April 2010 blast, including traumatic brain injuries. Pile said Alpha has always said it hopes to “settle all outstanding claims related to the Upper Big Branch accident so everyone can move forward.” “It was important to first take care of the families of those miners whose lives were lost in this tragic accident,” he said. Alpha said in January that it also settled lawsuits with at least seven injured survivors when it settled the death cases. Attorney Michelle Parfitt said some of her clients were in the same shuttle car and experienced the same explosive forces as those who died and those who have settled. Some helped drag their fallen friends out of the mine, administered CPR in vain attempts to save them and suffer from survivor’s guilt, among other things. “They’re in the worst of ways. They can’t move forward. They can’t get resolution of their claims,” she said. Parfitt said plaintiff Ryan Powers, who is in his late 20s, has tried three times to go back underground but is neither physically nor psychologically capable. While some miners have returned to work, she said Powers’ doctors have told him he would present a danger to himself and others if he tried. The other plaintiffs are Jason Stanley, Scott Halstead, Kenneth Woodrum, Kevin Brown, Tommy Estep, Dustin Ross, David Shears and Dakota Davis. They were one of three groups of lawsuits that were to be mediated separately. But the motion to start evidence gathering says Alpha has repeatedly sought delays, tried to stop liability experts from assisting them and tried to prevent access to “crucial evidence under the guise of mine safety” by announcing last week it would seal the mine. “We are sealing the mine because the two years in which it has remained open have allowed for the completion of all outside investigations,” Pile said, “and we never had any intention of operating that mine again.” A motion the plaintiffs filed to prevent the sealing was denied. Parfitt said the plaintiffs worry Massey may have evidence that was not included in one of the reports. While she credited the thoroughness of the accident reports, she said, “it forces us to rely on someone else’s evidence.” Separate investigations by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the United Mine Workers of America and an independent panel appointed by former Gov. Joe Manchin have all agreed on what happened. They determined that Massey al- lowed highly explosive methane gas and coal dust to accumulate at Upper Big Branch, and that worn and broken cutting equipment created the spark that ignited the fuel. Broken and clogged water sprayers allowed a mere flare-up to turn into an inferno that ripped through miles of underground tunnels and killed men instantly. In its final report, MSHA said the root cause of the explosion was Massey’s “systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts” to conceal lifethreatening problems. In December, Alpha reached a $210 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice that spared the corporation criminal prosecution and wiped the slate clean of violations at Upper Big Branch and other former Massey mines. Individuals, however, can still be prosecuted. Former security chief Hughie Elbert Stover is appealing his conviction for lying to investigators and ordering subordinates to destroy documents. Former superintendent Gary May, meanwhile, is cooperating in a continuing federal investigation as he awaits sentencing for his role at the mine. May, who pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the federal government, is the highest-ranking mine official yet to be charged in the blast. Parfitt said her clients wanted to settle their claims but no longer have faith in mediation. Nor have they been treated with dignity, she said. The miners say they have attended a half-dozen sessions, “often on less than 24 hours’ notice, only to be asked mundane and seemingly irrelevant questions about legal theories that could have been asked in a simple email or phone call.” Alpha attorneys have also called them “bystanders,” she said, even though many were inside the mine when it blew up. “That kind of lack of good faith is what’s been very, very difficult for these men to understand — and as their attorney, very, very difficult for me to explain,” Parfitt said. “These people weren’t bystanders.” Senate shows some comity, if only briefly WASHINGTON (AP) — For a brief moment in a season of partisan rancor, the Democratic leader of the Senate and his Republican counterpart hit the pause button. As senators prepared to leave for their annual spring recess, dozens of nominees to important federal jobs were confirmed without debate or acrimony. Majority Leader Harry Reid rattled off numbers from the Senate calendar that corresponded to individual nominees. In minutes, the nation had scores of new and reappointed ambassadors, senior Cabinet department officials and financial regulators. “This is the way we ought to be con- ducting business,” said Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “This is the way we should legislate,” agreed Reid, D-Nev. Neither ruined the moment by stating the obvious: Partisanship had become so pervasive in the glacially moving Senate that nominees like these — lacking even a whiff of controversy — were held up for months. Both parties routinely blocked the other’s nominees. Nobody expects the good feelings to last, and when the Senate returns next week, a near party-line vote is likely to defeat a Democratic proposal for raising taxes on the wealthy. Yet, the March 29 instant of comity is important, providing a glimpse of possible accomplishments when both parties in Congress and the White House work together. One only has to return to Jan. 4 to see the Senate — and perhaps the White House, depending upon your point of view — at its worst. That was the day President Barack Obama bypassed the Senate and used recess appointments — allowed by the Constitution when Congress isn’t in session — to put four of his nominees in politically sensitive jobs. Events leading up to Obama’s end run date back almost a year. �The Daily Sentinel WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2012 Sports mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Lady Eagles, White Falcons pace locals at Invite Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com BELPRE, Ohio — Three local track and field programs — Eastern, Wahama and Southern — fared well Saturday afternoon at the 2012 Belpre Shrine Invitational held at Belpre High School in Washington County.

Jennifer McCoy had the Lady Tornadoes’ top effort of the day in the 1600m run, where she finished fourth with a time of 6:02.93.

This transformation will start to appear in different areas of your life, even as superficially as how you look or project yourself. Others will adjust, though you might lose a friend or two who cannot accept the new you. If you are single, you attract quite an assortment of characters. Whomever you choose to be with will make you quite happy, at least for now. If you are attached, the two of you act like new lovers. Optimism surrounds your relationship. CAPRICORN can be demanding. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your take-charge attitude saves the day. Your intuition plays a significant role in your decision-making process. The unexpected forces you to regroup more than once. By now, the unexpected is expected. Tonight: You could go to the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Talk directly with a partner instead of leaving a message. Your high energy makes all the difference in how you interact with others. You could carry on until the wee hours. Tonight: Keep your insights and opinions to yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer to others, as ultimately you will have less on your plate. A brainstorming session later in the day brings you insight and direction. You know you can work with this person, so allow a natural bonding to occur. A friend acts in an unexpected manner. Tonight: Continue a talk. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Others step forward and share a problem. Listen to news and know that more information of the same nature could be forthcoming. Do more listening than talking. A boss or someone you look up to acts in a most unpredictable manner. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your creativity and energy, when funneled properly, could make a big difference. Use your abilities to the max, and consider an opportunity once more. You might see it a lot differently this time. Tonight: Put your feet up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might suffer from sleep deprivation this morning. This will pass, and quickly at that. Your imagination and creativity will soar by the afternoon. At this point, take on what you want. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Take a midweek break. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your sense of direction could define the morning. Use that period to the max, when the Force is with you. By the afternoon, some quiet work or yoga will help you gain an even bigger perspective. Tonight: Make it early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand what is happening behind the scenes. How you see a situation could change dramatically. Be sensitive to someone who frequently makes you nervous. Find out what is going on with this person. Tonight: Hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use the morning to the max. By the afternoon, your interest could change; you might become a little flighty. Let go and do what you want. Extremes are likely to play into what happens. Your energy will surge as a result of this change of pace. Tonight: Your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You move slowly into a new venture, relationship and/or commitment. Wondering what lies ahead is normal. If you do not take a risk, you will end up with nothing. It’s an excellent idea to debate the pros and cons, but know that eventually a decision will be necessary. Tonight: Act like the world is your oyster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Meetings in the morning seem to give you a sense of direction. Still, your follow-through could be flawed, which is unusual. The bottom line might be that you need some time off. Why not go with an offer rather than fight City Hall? Tonight: What would be best for you? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Say what you want. Do what you want. Trust in your abilities to move a project forward. You have the ability to hit a home run if you so choose. Listen to associates, but follow through on what you think might be best. Tonight: Where the action is.
