The State of Ohio recently made $26 million in funds available to counties throughout the state for a TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) summer youth employment program. Meigs County received $130,000 for the program which is estimated to serve 30-40 Meigs County youth. The program will run from June 1 to August 30. DJFS will be conducting eligibility determinations from 3-6 p.m. on May 24 at DJFS located at 175 Race Street in Middleport. Any youth under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. In addition to the age criteria, participants must meet the following TANF eligibility criteria: household income is at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guideline; youth ages 14-17 is a minor child in a needy family and is in school; or youth ages 18-24 is in a needy family that also has a minor child; or youth ages 18-24 that have a minor child and are considered needy. Two hundred percent of the federal poverty level is $2,522 a month for a family of two; $3,182 a month for a family of three; and $3,842 a month for a family of four. Applicants must provide proof of age (such as birth certificate), proof of residency (such as a utility bill), and proof of household income for the last 30 days must be provided. According to Chris Shank, Director of the Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services, priority will be given to applicants age 18-24. Jobs will offered in the public sector — for example, the program has been made available to the county’s five incorporated villages, the three school districts, Carleton School and Meigs Industries, the Athens-Meigs Educational Service Center and Meigs County office holders. The program reimburses employers, 100 percent, for wages, as well as some fringes (workers compensation, social security, PERS, etc.), which the employee earns between June 1-Aug. 30. The program will pay a wage up to $10 per hour, with some positions paying less. Jobs are not guaranteed in the program, and if there are more candidates than employers, Shank said it’s likely a waiting list will be developed should slots open up. The TANF summer youth employment program was last held in Meigs County in 2010.

With her are Pomeroy postal employees, from the left, Charles Meeks, postmaster; Ryan Cremeans and Jim Pullins, carriers. Collecting food for needy families Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Again this year the National Association of Letter Carriers is conducting its “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive, and Pomeroy mail carriers will be doing their part to help. This is the 20th anniversary of the national one-day drive which last year collected over 70.2 million food items. Over the past 19 years, over $1 billion items have been collected and distributed in local communities in an effort to alleviate hunger in the United States. As for the items collected by the Pomeroy postal workers, all are delivered to the Meigs Cooperative Parish for distribution to Meigs County families without adequate funds to purchase their own. Residents are asked to contribute non-perishable food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice to the food drive. Donations, which should not in- clude 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 Mary McAngus signed a proclamation designating Saturday, May 13, as National Food Collection Day. She encourages the public to support the program which has as its goal to “Stamp Out Hunger.” Patrol focuses on motorcycle safety May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com COLUMBUS — May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists that there will be an increase in motorcycles on the roadways with the warmer weather and to remind motorcyclists to ride trained and to ride sober. From 2009 to 2011, motorcycle-involved crashes resulted in a total of 503 fatalities and over 11,400 injuries in the state of Ohio. In 2011 alone, there were 167 motorcycle-related fatalities. Of the 167 fatalities, the motorcyclist was at fault 70 percent of the time. Taking a training class and riding with proper endorsements as a motorcycle rider can help protect the driver and others from injury or even death. Out of the 7,920 citations issued to motorcyclists in 2009 to 2011, 20 percent were for operating a motorcycle without a proper license or endorsement. As a rider, simple things like ensuring you have a valid motorcycle endorsement, receiving quality motorcycle training and wearing proper safety equipment can be key elements in staying safe. Riding sober is also very important. Last year, 49 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes involved an impaired motorcyclist, an increase of 10 percent from 2010. Of course, motorcycle safety is not solely the responsibility of motorcyclists. Motor ve- hicle drivers share in this important effort by being aware of motorcyclists. There are some important steps to become more aware of motorcyclists: • A motorcycle is a motor vehicle with all of the privileges of any vehicle on the roadway. • Give motorcyclists a full lane of travel. • Look for motorcyclists on the highway, at intersections and any time you are changing lanes. • Allow plenty of space in front of the vehicle you are driving, and do not follow a motorcycle too closely. A statistical map detailing citations and other motorcycle related information can be found at http://st atepatrol.ohio. gov/doc/Motorcycle_Bulletin_2012.pdf ATHENS COUNTY — Athens County was struck with flash flooding across the county on Friday evening resulting in a fatality in Ames Township. Heavy thunderstorms dropped large amounts of rain in a short period of time across the county resulting in reports of flash flooding in Nelsonville, Buchtel, Albany and Amesville areas. Nelsonville had reports of two feet of water on some roadways as run off from the U.S. 33 bypass project raged into the city. Street flooding was also reported in Buchtel and Albany from the down pour of rain. At 11:50 p.m. the Amesville fire department was alerted to a person being swept away by flood waters on Linscott Road in Ames Township. An elderly couple had been trapped in their car by flash flooding and attempted to walk to a safe area when the 74 year old female fell into the Linscott Run Creek flood waters and was swept away. Rescuers located the car one mile off State Route 329 on Liscott Road. Rescuers searched the area until 4 a.m. but were forced to cease search operations until sunrise Saturday morning. Rescuers resumed the search at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning and the missing female was located deceased along the Linscott Creek at 6:45 a.m. Search operations were assisted by the following agencies; Rome Township Fire Department, Athens County EMS, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Athens County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio Department of Transportation and the Athens County Dive Team. Please remember, most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice, ‘turn around, don’t drown’.

Ask Dr. Brothers Employing an effective leader By Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear Dr. Brothers: I was just chosen for a leadership position in one part of my job, and I’m really excited. This is the first time I’ve been given a position of authority at this job, and I want to make the best impression. I know confidence is important, especially since I’m nervous about starting this position, but I also don’t want to be seen as arrogant. How can I remain a strong leader and avoid antagonizing the rest of the team with my new status? — C.P. Dear C.P.: Becoming a strong and effective leader is something that people dedicate their entire lives to, and it can be a complicated process of learning and growing. It’s generally agreed that humility is a key ingredient of strong leaders, but it is true that you need to maintain confidence in yourself and your ability to lead. One important aspect of finding this balance between confidence and humility is leading with your actions. If you actually walk the walk, people will be much more likely to believe you and empathize with you. It can be difficult as a leader to show Dear Dr. our weaknesses Brothers: I and inevitable started writmissteps during a blog recently, and I’ve ing a learning become friends process, but with some allowing your other blog team to see writers who these more vulcover similar nerable sides of topics.

It sounds like this would be a great opportunity for you to solidify one of those connections in a low-stress setting. If things don’t work out, you can remain online buddies without the pressure of living in the same place. But if you do become real-world friends in addition to blogging colleagues, you’ll be glad you took the chance. More and more people are turning to the blogosphere as a form of expression and connection, and maintaining your sense of identity in this ever-growing field can be difficult. Meeting in real life can strengthen the connections you feel with your colleagues, and ultimately can benefit your blog writing. Just make sure you’re careful to protect yourself, as you would anytime you meet someone new — choose a public place and leave yourself an out in case things get uncomfortable. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Three more years for ex-death row inmate from Scotland OTTAWA, Ohio (AP) — A Scotsman released from prison four years ago after spending two decades on Ohio’s death row is going back to prison for threatening a judge who prosecuted his original case. A visiting judge sentenced Ken Richey on Monday to the maximum of three years. He pleaded guilty last month to a felony retaliation charge. The target of his threat, Putnam County Judge Randall Basinger, said Richey had made many threats against him and others, The (Toledo) Blade reported. Richey “has never taken responsibility for any of his actions, has blamed others for the crimes that he commits, and consistently misrepresents the events of his criminal activity,” Basinger said, according to The (Findlay) Courier. Investigators said Richey was at his home in Tupelo, Miss., when he left the threatening message for Basinger, warning that he was coming to get him. Richey said he’d been drinking heavily and was depressed. He apologized on Monday for making the call. Basinger was an assistant prosecutor in the 1980s when Richey was accused of starting a fire that killed a 2-year-old girl in 1986. Richey was sentenced to death and spent 21 years on death row. He denied any involvement in the fire and became well-known in Britain, where there is no death penalty, as he fought for his release. Among his supporters were several members of the British Parliament and Pope John Paul II. Following years of appeals, a federal court determined that his lawyers mishandled the case, and his conviction was overturned. Putnam County prosecutors initially planned to retry him, but Richey was released in 2008 under a deal that required him to plead no contest to attempted involuntary manslaughter. He also was ordered to stay away from the northwest Ohio county and anyone involved in the case, including Basinger. Richey, though, carried a lifetime of bitterness over his conviction, his friends said. �Tuesday, May 8, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Local DAR officers attend state convention Bethel Picnic Shelter Dedication — April 29, 2012 New picnic shelter dedication held Submitted photo Opal Grueser, right, and Mary Rose of Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, attended the recent 113th Ohio State conference in Columbus on April 13-15.

Five charged in Ohio bomb plot plead not guilty CLEVELAND (AP) — Five men described by the government as self-proclaimed anarchists entered not guilty pleas Monday to charges that accuse them of plotting to bomb a highway bridge near Cleveland. The five will remain in jail until their next hearing, a federal magistrate said. A detention hearing scheduled for Monday was postponed. The men were arrested last week when they allegedly tried to detonate what turned out to be a dud bomb provided by an FBI undercover informant. The five had been associated with Occupy Cleveland, but organizers of the movement have tried to distance the group from the men. They say the five didn’t represent it or its non-violent philosophy. The men were indicted last week on three counts each, including a charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction to destroy property in interstate commerce. Those charged, all jailed a week ago, are Douglas L. Wright, 26, of Indianapolis; Brandon L. Baxter, 20, of nearby Lakewood; Connor C. Stevens, 20, of suburban Berea; and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, and Anthony Hayne, 35, both of Cleveland. One defense attorney called it a case of entrapment, with the informant guiding the way. Stafford’s lawyer told U.S. Magistrate Greg White on Monday that his client had been duped and asked that the charges be dismissed, The Plain Dealer reported. The men could face life in prison if convicted of trying to bomb the soaring bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park at Brecksville, south of Cleveland. The bridge crosses a scenic railway line and a canal tow path popular with joggers and bikers. The men allegedly acted out of anger against corporate America and the government, authorities said. They considered blowing up the bridge at night or clearing it of traffic by pretending to be a construction crew to limit casualties, authorities said in court papers.

Twitter plays outsize role in 2012 campaign NEW YORK (AP) — @ BarackObama is on Twitter. So is @MittRomney. And so are all the voters following the 2012 presidential contest, whether they know it or not. Candidates, strategists, journalists and political junkies have flocked to Twitter, the social networking hub where information from the mundane to the momentous is shared through 140-character microbursts known as tweets. While relatively few voters are on Twitter — a study by the Pew Research Center found that about 13 percent of American adults have joined the site — it’s become an essential tool for campaigns to test-drive themes and make news with a group of politically wired “influencers” who process and share those messages with the broader world. Put simply: When a voter is exposed to any information related to the presidential contest, chances are it’s been through the Twitter filter first. “The subset of people on Twitter may be relatively small, but it’s a politically engaged audience whose influence extends both online and off,” said Heather LaMarre, a University of Minnesota communications professor who studies social media. “It’s not the direct message that has the biggest influence on people — it’s the indirect message.” No one believes the campaign will be won or lost on Twitter; it’s just one slice of an enormous communication effort the presidential campaigns are waging in cyberspace. But with a well-timed 140-character blast, candidates influence coverage, respond to charges or reinforce talking points. This, of course, is not the first time technology has changed the way campaigns are conducted. Radio, TV and the Internet all prompted campaigns to adapt, giving both more avenues to reach voters and more control of their message. But radio and television are top-down me- diums at heart — from the broadcaster to the public. Never before has a grassroots technology like Twitter given both voice and power to millions, and given candidates a real-time way to monitor the effects of their messages and recalibrate on the fly. And that means an everchanging campaign narrative for 2012. Four years ago, Twitter was in relative infancy and just 1.8 million tweets were sent on Election Day 2008. Now, Twitter gets that many approximately every eight minutes. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Afghanization Remember Victory-In-Europe Day By Dr. Earl Tilford December 1941 is usually remembered by Americans as that fateful month when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, thus thrusting the United States into World War II. However, consider an alternate scenario: Adolf Hitler appears triumphantly before the Reichstag announcing the destruction of the Soviet Union, following the German capture of Moscow and the “cowardly escape of that war criminal, Joseph Stalin,” to somewhere in the vast Russian hinterlands. “Just as I predicted,” the Fuhrer crows before cheering hordes in Germany’s puppet legislature: “All we had to do was to kick down the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse!” And collapse it did, as Hitler points out. The Soviet Union lost four million men; 8,000 aircraft; and 17,000 tanks; the Fuhrer boasts. The Soviet breadbasket region of the Ukraine was quickly overrun, along with half of Russian coal and steel output. Major Russian cities were captured, Hitler states smugly—Minsk, Kiev, Moscow, Leningrad. The commissars capitulated, the Russian people are cowed, and Soviet lands are open to master race colonizers. Pausing for effect and waiting for the cheering to subside, Hitler brushes aside his trademark lock of hair that cut across his forehead like a black scythe and continues: “Wonder weapons!” he shouts. “Our scientists, our gallant workers of the Reich have produced miracles of modern technology! Soon the skies will be filled with jet aircraft, bombers and fighters, and rockets and missiles with enough range to hit any place on earth. We can destroy those who dare to challenge our supremacy in Europe, in Asia, in the world!” More applause, punctuated by vigorously bobbing heads and expansive grins of triumph in the crowd. “Our submarines patrol the Atlantic, President Barack Obama’s five-point plan for turning the war back to the Afghans is designed to cover the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces and “forge a just and lasting peace.” What does the plan involve, and can it work? Here are the five points: Making Afghans responsible for their own security within two years Training and operationalizing a 352,000-man Afghan security force An enduring partnership with the United States providing training and counter-insurgency guidance Pursuing a negotiated peace with the Taliban Building a global consensus for peace Afghanization—the practical consequence of the withdrawal of American forces— requires the strengthening of the Afghan military to withstand the Taliban. Elements fundamental to its success involve improving and modernizing the Afghan military, pacifying rural areas, strengthening the national political apparatus, delivering essential services while building a viable economy and, most importantly, ensuring security for the people. Subsidiary tasks include expanding and improving the police, establishing democratic institutions down to the village level, restructuring the agricultural economy away from opium production, and rooting out the Taliban infrastructure. Given the non-specific nature of goals four and five in the president’s plan, the three essentials of Afghanization are: self-defense, selfgovernment, and self-development. Neutralizing the Taliban infrastructure is critical to extricating the U.S./NATO forces fighting in Afghanistan for the past decade. In part, this overly long commitment resulted from misjudging the nature of the war from the start, thinking it would be relatively easy to destroy al Qaeda and replace the Taliban government that nurtured and protected the terrorists. What are the obstacles successful Afghanization? On the plus side, the Afghans are tough, resilient fighters who defeated Alexan- der the Great, thwarted British imperialism, humiliated the Soviets, and frustrated the U.S./NATO coalition. Molding the Afghans into a Western military image will be difficult. Unlike the Iraqis and Pakistanis, Afghans lack the British military tradition. That 86 percent of Afghan recruits are illiterate makes building a modern U.S.-style military a challenge. Leadership tends to be tribal and reflects the corruption rife in Afghan politics. Warriors abound but many of them are Taliban. Modern armies, however, require trained soldiers and effective leaders. Additionally, the security of advisors and trainers is integral to building a viable Afghan fighting force. So far, 20 percent of U.S. casualties have come at the hands of Afghan military personnel. This does not bode well for the advisory phase. Item four in the Obama plan specifies a negotiated peace. Leverage is key to successful negotiations. President Obama declared, “A path to peace is now set before them (the Taliban). Those who refuse to walk it will face strong Afghan Security Forces, backed by the United States and our allies.” Is the president’s threat credible? The Taliban knows that U.S. forces are leaving and 1,834 combat deaths (as of May 3, 2012,) have depleted American will. Given that Washington’s objective seems to be the extrication of U.S. combat forces by 2014, with an advisory contingent remaining, the enemy senses the “new day on the horizon” belongs to them. The Taliban responded to President Obama’s pre-dawn declaration with a daybreak attack within earshot of the U.S. embassy coupled to a strategic proclamation targeting U.S. military forces as well as Afghan security personnel and political leaders. Expect the Taliban to keep the pressure on during withdrawal. The challenges of Afghanization mirror those of Vietnamization, which succeeded only in providing a patina for extracting U.S. forces from South Vietnam. The precursor to U.S. military involvement in Vietnam was the advisory and training phase that The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In 1969, when Vietnamization started in earnest, the original cultural and political challenges remained. Attempts to replicate the U.S. military structure focused on meeting the managerial imperatives of logistics rather than building armed forces able to withstand a North Vietnamese attack. In the end, Vietnamization fulfilled President Richard Nixon’s vow to bring the troops home by the end of his first term. The president’s promise to South Vietnam’s President Nguyen Van Thieu to enforce the Paris Agreements of January 23, 1973 proved irrelevant following Nixon’s resignation in August 1974. Barely two years after the last U.S. troops departed South Vietnam, Saigon’s army disintegrated in the face of a concerted North Vietnamese attack. The South Vietnamese lacked military acumen and leadership and, most importantly, the will to fight … and so did the United States, whose Congress drastically cut appropriations needed to sustain the Industrial Age force Vietnamization rendered. Afghanization succeeds only if it proceeds with a bodyguard of political and economic reforms compelling the Afghan people to fight for themselves. Otherwise, Afghanization only needs to endure until early November and the re-election of President Obama.

Then out comes the map, huge, blazing with colors—black and yellow and gray. Three vast spheres of influence, German (with a nod to the Italians), Japanese, and the Americas, light up the background behind the Fuhrer. The audience claps, and many begin imagining vacation junkets to Asia, Africa, and the farthermost regions of mighty Germania’s global domain. More glances at that huge gray area on the map; with a wink and a nod, someone in the crowd utters, “soon, all that will be ours, too.” This is the world we avoided, one portrayed with disturbing plausibility by such writers as Robert Harris in Fatherland and Phillip K. Dick in The Man in the High Castle. Sound unbelievable? Consider this: After Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, few observers expected the Russians to survive; even Henry Stimson, President Roosevelt’s Secretary of War, was convinced that Russia would fall within three months, leaving the United States and the beleaguered British alone to face the monstrously powerful Third Reich. How powerful? After two years of war, Germany produced twice as much steel as Great Britain and the Soviet Union combined. Indeed, Richard Overy, in his superb Why the Allies Won, declared that “on the face of things, no rational man in early 1942 would have guessed at the eventual outcome of the war.” Yet victory was achieved, as the result of the world’s other great powers pooling their resources to defeat what likely was the most ambitious threat to global civilization in human history. With American production genius, British perseverance, and the Soviet Union’s recuperative powers, the Allies beat their Axis foes in every dimension of total war—on the ground, at sea, and in the air; in the laboratory, on the factory floor, and at the strategic planning table; and most importantly, in the moral battle for the minds of millions of men and women, civilians and soldiers alike. America’s role was of course indispensable, and not just in production figures, but in the spilt blood and sacrifices on countless battlefields in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany. Indeed, the success of the Normandy invasion alone created conditions for America’s longer-term victory over its second totalitarian foe over the half century following WWII, the Soviet Union. Which means it’s hard to overestimate the profound significance of Victory in Europe Day, symbolizing the war that was won and the world we avoided. Like many in my generation, I have family members who fought in that conflict, which is why I encourage everyone to visit a WWII military cemetery in the coming weeks, and—sometime in your life—to make a pilgrimage to that extraordinary American military museum at Omaha Beach. Gaze with somber appreciation at those regiments of crosses perfectly arrayed on that hallowed ground. Ponder the sublime meaning of those silent sentinels that commemorate freedom’s costly triumph over barbarism and tyranny. And remember May 8, 1945, V-E Day.

The Point Pleasant baseball team capped the school’s final Class AA regular season contest in style Saturday afternoon during an 8-3 victory over host Ripley in a non-conference matchup in Jackson County. The Big Blacks (20-6) doubled up the Vikings (1317) in the hit column, as mdssports@heartlandpublications.com the guests mustered a 12-6 overall advantage in the wire-to-wire victory. PPHS also had the only two errors in the contest and left nine on base, while Ripley stranded five runners on the bags. Point Pleasant — which joins the Class AAA ranks during the fall of the 2012 regular season — jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the top of the third and never looked back, although RHS countered with a run fourth Four area schools take part in NYHS Invite Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com NELSONVILLE, Ohio — Competing against bigger schools aren’t always easy. The Eastern, Southern, Wahama, and River Valley track teams competed in the Nelsonville-York Invitational Friday night. The event was shortened due to inclement weather. The girls competition featured 17 teams, and was won by Westerville Central with 93 points. Marietta (54) finished second, while Logan (53) took third. Eastern took sixth with 29 points, while River Valley finished 15th with eight points, and Southern finished 17th with one point. The Wahama girls did not participate in the meet.

Point, however, added four insurance runs in the top of the sixth — rounding out the 8-3 decision. The win, combined with a Ritchie County loss, also allowed the Big Blacks to finish the regular season as the No. 1 state-ranked team in Class AA. Levi Russell was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one run, two hits and a walk over four frames while striking out two. Jamin Jones took the loss for Ripley after allowing five earned runs, seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings of relief while fanning two. PPHS received a leadoff single from Layne Thompson to start the third, then a pair of groundouts moved Thompson to third with two away in the inning. Jason Stouffer singled home Thompson for a 1-0 edge, then Eric Roberts and Evan Potter followed with singles to load the bases. Austen Toler cleared the bases with a triple, allowing Point Pleasant a 4-0 cushion through three full frames. Leading 4-3 headed into the sixth, Roberts delivered a two-RBI single that plated Alex Somerville and Brandon Toler for a 6-3 cushion. Stouffer and Roberts later scored on a two-out single by Austen Toler for the final five-run advantage. Stouffer and Austen Toler paced Point Pleasant with three hits apiece, while Roberts and Potter added two safeties each. Somerville and Thompson rounded things out with one hit each. Austen Toler drove in five RBIs, while Roberts scored twice in the triumph. The Big Blacks enter tournament play with four straight wins and 13 victories in their last 15 contests.

Katz, a sports psychologist in New York City who works with amateur, collegiate professional athletes and teams. If somebody did in an office what Stoudemire did, “it would probably be looked at much more negatively,” he said. Katz said athletes frequently do things like that, but if they’re not stars it rarely gets noticed publicly. And the biggest stars are often cut a bit of slack because “in this world, we tend to tolerate bad behavior on the part of people who excel. That’s not uncommon in the sports world,” Katz said. Katz also noted that athletes work in a far more intense environment of win-lose, succeed-fail, than most people do. So that can produce more intense emotions, he said, but “the sign of a great athlete is they don’t get too high or too low.” Despite the differences between elite athletes and ordinary folks, it would be “a little bit hypocritical” to look at incidents like Stoudemire’s and conclude that pro athletes are undisciplined and prone to problems in managing their anger, says Mitch Abrams, a sports psychologist in Fords, N.J., who wrote a book on handling anger in sports. “Let’s not lose track of the fact that there are lot of people who get frustrated that go home and hit their spouses,” or get drunk and then drive, Abrams said.

(AP) — Doug O’Neill is immediately turning his attention to the Preakness after I’ll Have Another’s victory in the Kentucky Derby. The chestnut colt is being shipped to Maryland on Monday for the second leg of the Triple Crown, making him the earliest arriving Derby winner since Monarchos showed up at Pimlico four days after his 2001 win. I’ll Have Another will now look to take the next step towards becoming the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 when Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes within a fiveweek span. “I get goose bumps just thinking about it,” O’Neill said. “I think he is the kind of horse who can maintain his form and keep it going.” He’ll likely see some old rivals again in Baltimore on May 19, including Bob Baffert’s Bodemeister, who might have won Saturay’s race if it was 1 3/16th of a mile like the Preakness is. Baffert joked at what advice he might give O’Neill in advance of the next race following a Derby victory. “Easy on the crab cakes,” he said. “Californians coming, they’re not used to that.” Six other Derby horses are possibilities to join the race, including Went the Day Well (fourth), Creative Cause (fifth), Liaison (sixth), Union Rags (seventh), Hansen (ninth) and Optimizer (11th). Went the Day Well sustained a cut on his right front ankle in the Derby, but trainer Graham Motion said it wasn’t a problem. Seven new candidates are on tap, too. They are: Pretension and Brimstone Island, the top two finishers in the Canonero II Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico; Cozzetti; Hierro and Paynter, the top two finishers in the Derby Trial at Churchill; Jerome Stakes winner The Lumber Guy; and Tiger Walk. O’Neill spent all evening celebrating I’ll Have Another’s victory, finally returning to his hotel room about 2 a.m. Sunday. The party began at the trainer’s barn at Churchill Downs, moved to a charity dinner and ended up at a downtown hotel where the colt’s owner, J. Paul Reddam, had reserved the 25th floor for about 100 people. O’Neill, based at Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., last ran a horse in Maryland six years ago when Thor’s Echo won the Grade 1 De Francis Memorial Dash on his way to winning an Eclipse Award as the nation’s top sprinter. Reddam has owned one previous Preakness starter — Wilko, who was 12th in 2005. O’Neill plans to briefly return to California before heading back East this week. He told his young son, Daniel, and daughter, Kaylin Dixie, that if I’ll Have Another won the Derby, the family would get a hot tub. “We are going to have to do some shopping now,” he said. Baffert, a five-time Preakness winner, plans to keep his two Derby runners, Bodemeister and Liaison, along with Paynter, at Churchill before deciding next weekend whether to take on I’ll Have Another in Baltimore. “I will let him tell me if he’s ready, like I did with Lookin At Lucky,” Baffert said about Bodemeister, who led most of the Derby until getting caught late. In 2010, Lookin At Lucky finished sixth as the Derby favorite and went on to win the Preakness. “With Lookin At Lucky, the day after the Derby I told them, ‘We’re not going to run,’” Baffert said. “The next Monday I said, ‘Not only are we going, we’re going to win this.’ I’ve got to wait and see if he shows me a spark.” Four of the top six places in the Derby went to horses based in Southern California. Besides I’ll Have Another and Bodemeister, Creative Cause was fifth and Liaison was sixth. Trainer Michael Matz said he didn’t think seventh-place Union Rags, second choice in the Derby betting, would try the Preakness. The colt is based in Fair Hill, Md., about 1 1/2 hours from Pimlico. However, Matz said running in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont on June 9 “would make more sense.” “I feel bad for the horse. He didn’t have the chance to show his true ability,” Matz said. Matz said he would decide after watching Union Rags train and talking with the colt’s 71-year-old owner Phyllis Wyeth. Union Rags broke a step slow, then got bumped and squeezed back to 18th in the 20-horse field before hitting traffic on the far turn. Matz said he felt badly for the horse and his owner. “I don’t mind getting beat, I just don’t like getting beat the way he did in the Florida Derby and the Kentucky Derby,” Matz said, referring to Union Rags’ third-place finish in Florida as the favorite. “I know I shouldn’t be crying over spilled milk because it’s happened to other people, too.” Keselowski gets push from Busch to win Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — The leader on the last lap isn’t supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that. Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane. Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Daytona 500 winner in their wake, Keselowski staved off Busch’s attempt to snatch the win. Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega. “I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into (turn) three, it was just me and Kyle,” Keselowski said. “I knew the move I wanted to pull. It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind.” Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Houses For Rent 502 5th Street, Racine, Oh 45771, $625 per month, call 304-553-4921 Small effecient house, $375, Nancy, 304-675-4024 or 304-675-0799 Homestead Realty Broker MANUFACTURED HOUSING Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and Kenseth flat-footed, and both praised Keselowski after the race. “He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” said Busch, who wound up second for the second consecutive day. Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded there’s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of a restrictor-plate race, and predicted how Sunday would unfold. “If you’re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. That’s all there is to it,” Busch said after Saturday’s defeat. So he should have been sitting pretty after pushing Keselowski to the front. Instead, Keselowski went high into the third turn, then pulled off of Busch’s bumper to create some separation. “That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag,” Keselowski said. “It wasn’t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move.” Sales Repo's Available 740)446-3570 tandem a chance to catch him. The two cars sailed past Kenseth on the outside line. “I think we had the winning car, really just didn’t have the winning driver,” Kenseth said. “I looked forward for a second, when I looked back, Greg and I were separated, those guys were already outside of him. With me not paying attention, keeping us hooked up, just cost us a shot at the win, cost Greg a shot at the win.” “I wasn’t too fast. I was just too stupid I guess at the end to keep a win.” It put Keselowski in Victory Lane for the second time this season, which helps his championship chances. He’s been streaky through the first 10 races of the year, and even with this second victory, he’s only ranked 12th in the Sprint Cup standings. But those wins should guarantee him at least a wild-card berth into the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. “Two wins, with the wild card and all, that almost makes you immune to missing the Chase,” Keselowski said. “This team is going to Administrative/Professional Call WOW!

Not sure exactly what happened. We definitely need to go back and figure out what it was.” Kenseth didn’t feel much better. He led seven times for a race-high 73 laps, but believed he gave the win away on the final restart. A nine-car accident with four laps remaining brought out the yellow flag, setting up a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Kenseth, as the leader, got to pick where he wanted to restart and chose the outside line so Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle would line up behind him and presumably push him to the victory. That put Keselowski and Busch together on the inside line, but they drifted back on the restart as Kenseth indeed was able to jump out to a huge lead. It was probably too big of a lead. Kenseth got a little too far away from Biffle, which gave the Keselowski-Busch Gallipolis Career College is looking for a qualified Admissions Representative.

The best is yet to come.” The victory continued a hot streak for team owner Roger Penske, who won for the first time in the Sprint Cup Series at Talladega. It was also the first win for manufacturer Dodge at Talladega since Dave Marcis in 1976. Penske, meanwhile, has won all four of the IndyCar races so far this season and driver Will Power is leading the series standings as they prepare for the May 27 Indianapolis 500. For now, though, the team owner is thinking about where Keselowski can take him. Penske has never won a Cup title since entering NASCAR in 1972, although he was out of the series from 1981 through 1990. Keselowski gave him a Nationwide Series championship in 2010, his only NASCAR title. “Obviously, one of the goals in my life is to sit up on that stage (at the championship banquet), and I think he’s the guy that can make it happen this year,” said Penske, who called it the perfect race. That might be going a little too far, which even Keselowski would admit. He helped cause a caution with seven laps to go when he ran into the back of former Penske teammate Kurt Busch. Keselowski was apologetic immediately after climbing from his car in Victory Lane. “I got to Kurt and tried to push him. He tried staying in line. He didn’t want to go,” Keselowski said. “He probably didn’t know what was going on behind him, which is natural. When he decided not to go, I tried to force him to go. It was a combination of events that were unfortunate. I hated to see that happen.” On the restart with four laps remaining, Penske’s other driver, AJ Allmendinger, was part of the accident that stopped the action again. It was the last of five cautions in yet another race that featured fairly clean racing. NASCAR’s now had six consecutive uncharacteristically clean races, which drew a tongue-and-cheek response from defending series champion Tony Stewart, who was collected in the Allmendinger accident.

You alternate between wanting a lot of closeness and needing some space. If you are single, finding a match that can meet these different needs could be an intense experience. Enjoy the dating process; you will know when you find the right person. If you are attached, your significant other probably can handle this back and forth. Are you as sensitive to your sweetie’s needs as he or she is to yours? Learning to respect others rather than wanting to change them could make your happiness soar. CAPRICORN can be cold and remote or hot and intense. 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) HHHHH Claim your power, even though it might be more agreeable to indulge the other party. Choose your words with care, as the person in question has been overly serious. Discussions will be animated and worthwhile as long as you are open to a new insight. Tonight: Working late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A partnership remains a source of pleasure. You could be overwhelmed by everything that comes up. Think positively. You’ll break past a barrier almost immediately if you can mentally connect with the right person. Tonight: Do nothing halfway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others will come forward if you back off a bit. Your good vibes seem to communicate your intentions. Listen to someone who demonstrates enormous insight and wisdom. At times, this person is overly serious and/or cynical. Tonight: Chat away over dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You plunge into work or a project with the best intentions. Carefully consider your alternatives, especially involving a family member, an investment or a real-estate matter. You might need to assume more responsibility than you would like. Tonight: Nap, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your imagination plays an instrumental role in various situations. You might not have all the answers, but someone else might have a good suggestion or two. Brainstorm away. You’ll hop around from one topic to another, so be open to change. Greet more dynamic ideas positively. Tonight: Take a much-needed break. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You can find a lot of excuses if you want to have a slow start to the day. The problem is that you go to extremes far too easily. You often exhaust yourself. A little self-discipline could go far. Tonight: Let the good times roll. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might have pushed too hard for your own good. It is questionable which way would be the best way to go. Indulge a friend or loved one. Be serious in a conversation, yet at the same time, be open to others’ ideas. Tonight: Meet a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You will tend to test your limits, and perhaps be the source of some awkwardness between you and someone else. You’ll wonder what is enough as your mind drifts into contemplation. Conversations point to the correct direction. Tonight: Meet a friend later on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Clearly someone wants to get a lot closer to you. The decision is yours to make: Do you want to transform this bond and make it stronger? Recognize the long-term implications before deciding. Communication excels, and you seem to understand others well. Tonight: It is your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might feel slightly out of sorts early on, but later today you will feel better. Give yourself space, and do only what you must. You could be overwhelmed and need a break. Squeeze in some relaxation. Tonight: Perk up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Zero in on possibilities rather than problems. You could see a situation far differently than many other people. You will know how to bring others together. Act as if you are a team, and excellent results will ensue. Tonight: Make it early. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Many demands could have you juggling between different people. Do not lose your focus, even if a partner is difficult and tests your limits. Be willing to go to bat for someone you really care about. Tonight: Where the fun is.
