Southern graduates receive diplomas Sunday Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE — “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship.” Salutatorian of the Southern High School Class of 2012 Abbie Leigh Williams quoted Louisa May Alcott as she spoke to her fellow graduates. “To me this says to go forward at full force, unafraid of what could happen, because in the end, it’ll be worth it,” said Williams. “We will occasionally cross paths with a storm but we can’t turn back afraid, we must venture in, with all we have, because the outcome will be great, it’ll be a lesson learned.” Williams concluded by saying, “the future is scary and uncertain but we can not go into our new lives afraid. We will fall and we will rise, both for the better. We will continue to learn and grow as people. And, most importantly, we will continue to dream with all we have and succeed in all we do.” Following the salutatorian address by Williams, co-Valedictorian Hope Nicole Teaford gave her valedictorian address. Teaford started by thanking everyone for being there for the graduation ceremony. See SOUTHERN |‌ 5 POMEROY — The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office will be working overtime several days this month as part of the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services traffic safety grant. Sheriff Robert Beegle states that the project is known as Click It or Ticket. During this high visibility traffic enforcement grant, deputies will be watching for seat belt usage, speeders, impaired an aggressive drivers, and other high risk safety driving behavior. The intent of the state program is to increase traffic enforcement to help decrease accidents and injuries as well as economic loss connected with accidents. It was reported last week that the Pomeroy Police Department will also be holding Click It or Ticket check point. For more information about the Office of Criminal Justice Services and the statewide effort to improve safety on Ohio’s roadways, log on to www.ocjs.ohio. gov. Beegle also reports the arrest by Columbus Police of John D. Spriggs, 41, formerly from Pomeroy and Margaret Higginbotham, 23, of Columbus on indictments from Meigs County. Charges are aggravated trafficking in drugs with specs and aggravated possession of drugs with specs. The pair will have to appear in a Columbus Cort for a Rule 4 hearing before they can be brought to Meigs County. Over $10 million played on video lottery machines Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com Graduates Nathan Roberts, left, and Ryan Taylor walk into the gymnasium during the processional of Sunday’s ceremony. MASON COUNTY, W.Va. — According to the West Virginia Lottery Commission, over $10 million was played on video lottery machines in Mason County between April 1 and April 30. This means in the span of one month, $10 million was pumped into 160 machines for which the lottery commission licenses in Mason County. These statistics are interesting when compared to Mason County’s median household income which, according to the last U.S. Census, was $36,027 with 18.9 percent living below the poverty level. Of course, it’s speculated several video lottery customers in Mason County come from Ohio to play and therefore pump money into the local economy. In fact, the county receives around $20,000 a month from these machines and has estimated in one year, it will receive a total of $225,000 in revenue.

Member SIPC. Colin Powell not ready to endorse Obama re-election WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell declined Tuesday to renew the presidential endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, saying he wasn’t ready “to throw my weight behind someone” at this time. The former chairman of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and Cabinet member under President George W. Bush demurred when asked if he was backing Obama again. A longtime GOP figure, Powell caused a stir in Republican political circles four years ago by endorsing Obama over war hero Sen. John McCain, calling Obama a “transformational figure.” Not so this time, Powell said on NBC’s “Today” show. At least, not yet. “It’s not just a matter of whether you support Obama or (Mitt) Romney. It’s who they have coming in with them,” he said. Pressed to say why he was holding back on giving Obama his blessing a second time, Powell said: “I always keep my powder dry, as they say in the military.” He said Obama had “stabilized the financial system” following the deep recession of 2008-2009 and had “fixed the auto industry.” Powell also said he thought the country was on the right path toward ending the war in Afghanistan. But he also said he thought Obama needed to work more on the economy and said he thought that he owed it to the Republican Party to listen to the proposals that likely nominee Romney will be offering, particularly on the economy. Powell said he’s “still listening” to Republican ideas, calling Romney “a good man” and saying he wasn’t ready to make a commitment to Obama. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama appreciated Powell’s endorsement four years ago. “It’s up to him and every American to decide whom they will support going forward,” he said. Carney said Obama has worked to fulfill the commitments he made on national security and domestic policy issues, two areas important to Powell. Powell has been an enigmatic figure in the Republican Party, and his name often has been mentioned in both presidential and vice presidential speculation. He was the first black head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ask Dr. Brothers Wife feels guilty about friendship Dear Dr. Brothers: I recently met a man who, not realizing that I was married, asked me out. Once I told him I was married, we struck up a friendship based on various mutual interests. I enjoy spending time with him, but he still drops hints that he’s interested in me romantically, and even sometimes criticizes my husband and our marriage. I’ve done my best to let him know that I’m not interested, but now I feel guilty. Is it wrong for me to continue this relationship? — L.F. Dear L.F.: The extent to which you are able to develop friendships with members of the opposite sex who may or may not have ulterior motives is a line that you have to draw for yourself in your marriage. Different couples have very different expectations about who they spend time with and what friendships are acceptable and unacceptable. There are some general guidelines, though, and the fact that you feel guilty about spending time with this person is not a good sign. In fact, it may indicate that you know you’re doing something just slightly against the rules. If you’ve been clear with this man about not being interested, it’s up to him to take the high road and subvert any romantic interest he may have for you. If you do want to continue to spend time with him, you should ask him explicitly to stop criticizing your husband and your marriage. Think about what you’re getting out of this relationship and whether it’s worth the stress you’re under from wondering if you’re doing something wrong by indulging this man’s interest in you. One sure way to ease your guilt, while not giving up on the relationship entirely, is to introduce this man to your husband and be completely open and honest about the situation. You needn’t feel guilty if you have nothing to hide, and opening the relationship up to your husband is a good way to make this happen. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: A friend of mine recently told me that he’s a sex addict. I’ve always thought that this was a myth, and that it was just a lack of self-control or an excuse for acting inappropriately, but he assures me that it’s a real problem. I want to be supportive, but I don’t want to indulge him and his behavior if he’s just making this up or trying to gain my sympathy. Is sex addiction a real addiction, and if so, why is it so commonly explained away as a bad habit? — P.V. Dear P.V.: Sex addiction is a real disease, and it’s an addiction, like many others, that entails compulsive behavior despite negative consequences. Calling something an addiction, though, isn’t an excuse for bad behavior, it’s a first step to recovery. It could be that your friend is truly an addict, and is reaffirming his recovery by defining his addiction. This doesn’t mean he’s not responsible for his behavior, though. He should be taking responsibility for his actions and seeking help if those actions are harmful to himself or others. People are prone to treating sex addiction as simply a bad habit or a — usually masculine — personality flaw, but it can become as much a compulsion as any other addition. While you may not agree with his lifestyle choices or behavior, you still can be supportive of your friend. If he is seeking treatment for this addiction, he may be going through a difficult time trying to learn to control his impulses. One important part of overcoming a sex addiction can be in learning to make real connections and forge emotional intimacy, not simply shallow physical connections. Your friendship actually can help in this regard, allowing your friend to feel comfortable with emotional intimacy that is not associated with a sexual encounter. Be honest, though, about anything that makes you uncomfortable. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Spacecraft speeds toward space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Opening a new, entrepreneurial era in spaceflight, a ship built by a billionaire businessman sped toward the International Space Station with a load of groceries and other supplies Tuesday after a spectacular, middle-of-the-night blastoff. The launch of the Falcon 9 rocket and its unmanned Dragon capsule marked the first time a commercial spacecraft has been sent to the orbiting outpost. Cutting a brilliant, fiery arc through the darkness, the rocket lifted off just before 4 a.m. and smoothly boosted the capsule into orbit. The capsule is expected to rendezvous with the space station within days, delivering a half-ton of provisions for its six crew members. It is considered just a test flight — in fact, the capsule was packed with only nonessential items, in case something went disastrously wrong — but if all goes well with this mission and others like it, commercial spaceships could be carrying astronauts to and from the space station in three to five years. “Falcon flew perfectly!!” billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, founder of the SpaceX company, said via Twitter. “Feels like a giant weight just came off my back.” Musk later told reporters: “For us, it’s like winning the Super Bowl.” Up to now, flights to the space station were something only major governments had done. The White House offered congratulations. “Every launch into space is a thrill- ing event, but this one is especially exciting,” said John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s chief science adviser. “This expanded role for the private sector will free up more of NASA’s resources to do what NASA does best — tackle the most demanding technological challenges in space, including those of human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit.” NASA is looking to the private sector to take over flights to the space station now that the space shuttle has been retired. Several U.S. companies are vying for the opportunity. “The significance of this day cannot be overstated,” said a beaming NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. “It’s a great day for America. It’s actually a great day for the world because there are people who thought that we had gone away, and today says, ‘No, we’re not going away at all.’” Flight controllers applauded when the Dragon reached orbit nine minutes into the flight. Then they embraced once the solar panels on the craft popped open. Many of the SpaceX controllers wore untucked Tshirts, jeans or shorts, a stark contrast to NASA’s suit-and-tie shuttle crowd. A previous launch attempt, on Saturday, was aborted with a half-second left in the countdown because of a bad valve in one of Falcon’s nine engines. Another important test comes Thursday when the Dragon draws close to the space station. It will undergo practice maneuvers from more than a mile out. If all goes well, docking will occur on Friday. Musk will preside from the company’s Mission Control in Hawthorne, Calif. Since the shuttle’s retirement last summer, American astronauts have been hitching rides to the space station aboard Russian rockets, and Russian, Japanese and European ships have been delivering supplies. SpaceX has spent more than $1 billion on the project. Musk, the 40-year-old entrepreneur who helped create PayPal and runs the electric car company Tesla Motors, has poured in millions of his own fortune, and NASA has contributed $381 million in seed money in a venture that has been likened to the public-private collaboration that built the Internet and won the West. Even Musk’s rivals were rooting for a successful flight. “The shuttle may be retired, but the American dream of space exploration is alive and well,” said Mark Sirangelo, chairman of Sierra Nevada Corp.’s space systems, which is developing a mini-shuttle to carry space station crews in a few years. The Dragon capsule will stay at the space station for a week and then splash down in the Pacific, bringing back experiments and equipment. None of the other cargo ships now in use are designed to return safely; they burn up on the way down. Two more Dragon supply missions are planned this year, regardless of what happens this week. Aboard the discarded second stage of the rocket were the ashes of more than 300 people, including Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and “Star Trek” actor James Doohan, who played Scotty.

Representing the early Civil War period, the experience will differ from that when the Ohio Village opened in 1974. Through a combination of costumed characters, cell phone tours, interpretive panels and the popular play areas, families will be free to roam through Ohio Village to learn and experience on their own. Executive Director of the Ohio Historical Society, Burt Logan said, “We are excited for Ohioans to once again enjoy Ohio Village and for them to be the creators of their own personal connections to the past. The Ohio Village is a place that helps history come alive for youngsters and adults alike. You asked us to make the Ohio Village more available to you and we are listening; this is a very important step in fulfilling a goal to make it easier for Ohioans to engage with the strengths of the Ohio Historical Society. We are truly looking forward to a ‘Summer of Fun’ in the Ohio Village.” From June 2 to September 2, access to Ohio Village will match the hours for the museum in the Ohio History Center: Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Admission to Ohio Village is included with museum admission of $10 for adults and $5 for youths. Admission is free for OHS members. Visitors wishing to visit the Ohio Village will use the museum entrance. There will continue to be special events such at the very popular Glorious Fourth Celebration on the 4th of July and the Country Living Fair. Special events will have unique pricing and for those events, guests will enter through the gatehouse at the Ohio Village. According to Visitor Experience Department Manager Megan Wood, visiting Ohio Village several times this summer is a good idea. “Each day will be different as costumed interpreters and activities will change daily. Part of the adventure will be discovering who is ‘home’ in Ohio Village each time you visit.” Families will also enjoy completing the Ohio Village Quest, a treasure hunt-style booklet free with admission. In addition to the daily experiences of the Ohio Village, several Discount Days will take place on Saturdays throughout the summer - half price admission specials will be offered. June 2 will be Senior Day for visitors 65 and older. Scouting Day is June 16 for scouts, leaders and their chaperones. July 21 is Military Day for active duty and retired services members and their families. August 11 is Educator Day. While teachers receive free admission to the Ohio History Center, other education professionals and their families will receive half off on Educator Day. Base Ball Day is September 1 for anyone, youth or adult wearing uniform, cap or shirts supporting their favorite team. This will be during the Ohio Cup Vintage Base Ball playoffs held at the Ohio Historical Society featuring the famous vintage base ball team of the Ohio Historical Society. Two Community Days are also planned for July 21 and August 18. Discount coupons will be available at public libraries and other locations in neighborhoods near the Ohio History Center. Summer Echoes in Time Theatre presentations will continue in the Ohio Village on Saturdays at 1 and 3 p.m. The June presentation will be “The Company Store, Tommy Knockers, Owing my Soul: an Ohio coal miner’s tale.” July’s topic is “Reminiscences of a Civil War Topographer.” During August, enjoy a ‘best of’ Echoes in Time with a different historical character each week. Pleasant Valley Home Health and Hospice receive grants POINT PLEASANT — Pleasant Valley Home Health and Hospice has recently been awarded two grants for use in their community. A grant received from the Robert and Louise Claflin Foundation will help improve the health and wellness of the community members in Mason County. The foundation awarded Pleasant Valley Home Health & Hospice $6,972.00 to use for this purpose. This grant was used to purchase equipment to help Home Health and Hospice patients better manage their disease processes. The equipment purchased includes electronic blood pressure cuffs and scales, and will be given to the patients to keep and help promote better health patterns after their discharge from home health care. Chad Pennington’s 1st and 10 Foundation was established by Chad Pennington to assist people within the tri-state area with improving the overall lifestyle of community members. This grant was awarded to us in the amount of $15,000.00. The amount has been used to purchase health education materials for patients served by Home Health and Hospice. This includes materials that will be used in the implementation of formalized disease management programs for the population served. The diseases addressed include: Cancer, Chronic Pain, Diabetes, COPD, CHF, and Terminal Illness. Patients who have the relevant diagnoses are provided educational materials at the time of admission to home care services and the nursing staff educate the patients from those materials. “The receipt of these grants will go miles toward improving the health and wellness within our community. By providing patients with the equipment and educational resources they need, we are able to help them achieve a greater level of disease prevention and health promotion. These grants will make a significant impact on the population we serve, as many of the members of the community might not have access to these things without our assistance,” commented Mistie Best, RN, MSN, MHA – Director of Home Care Services. Pleasant Valley Home Health Services provides care to patients of all ages who no longer require hospitalization, but continue to require periodic attention in their home. They serve Mason County in West Virginia and Gallia and Meigs counties in Ohio.

From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community. That’s the message organizers are touting with the Hospital Week theme at Pleasant Valley Hospital “Everyday Making a Difference”. The celebration was held May 6-12. A full slate of activities were planned with themes for each day. The nation’s largest health care event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when it was suggested by a magazine editor who hoped a community wide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospitals. The celebration, launched in Chicago, succeeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the public and eventually spread to facilities across the country. “National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people,” said Tom Schauer, CEO. “We’re extremely proud of each member of our staff and we recognize the important role they play in extending a sense of trust to our patients and our communities. Our efforts are dedicated to improving the quality of our care — the way we treat out patients and the way we treat each other. That is our pledge, and that is my word.” Pleasant Valley Hospital, a 201-bed facility, is a full service hospital with state of the art equipment.

Hendrickson What interesting timing. I had recently planned a column on my observations about Mitt Romney at Cranbrook. Why? Not because of anything in the news related to Cranbrook—at least not yet—but because our careers there (mine and Mitt’s) overlapped. Then The Washington Post released its story about the young, alleged bully, Mitt Romney. Now my Romney article is twice as long as it would have been a week ago. First, some background: I was a freshman in Stevens Hall, Mitt’s dorm, during his senior year. At Cranbrook, freshmen watched seniors, but didn’t hang around with them, so we didn’t know each other. I doubt that he would remember me from Cranbrook (although we did meet briefly prior to the Salt Lake City Olympic Games as a result of my daughter having written the torch relay song for that Olympiad). Now, to the current issue: did Romney cut John Lauber’s hair? I have no personal knowledge of the incident; in fact, I can’t even remember John. But when men like Mitt’s classmates, Tom Buford and Matt Friedemann, say publicly that it happened, then it happened. “Kraut,” as we affectionately called Friedemann in those pre-political correctness days, was the prefect on my hall, and very kind to this freshman. I knew Tom, another prefect. I’d trust those two any day. Was Mitt homophobic? The real question should be: Is the adult Mitt Romney homophobic? Cranbrook in the ‘60s had a culture that probably would be considered “homophobic” today, but was the norm then. I don’t know anybody there who actually hated or wanted to hurt homosexuals, but you sure didn’t want to be called one. We were a bunch of adolescent boys with macho complexes, trying to live up to what we thought “real men” should be like. In the ‘60s, that meant being masculine and heterosexual. Did the school administration let Mitt get away with stuff because his dad was governor? Possibly, although seniors generally were a privileged class. As long as they didn’t set the dorm on fire, the adults pretty much left them alone to do their thing. Was Mitt a bully? By today’s standards, what Mitt did would be classified as bullying. By the standards of the ‘60s, though, “bullying” seems like too harsh a term. The bullies I knew as a kid were pathetically antisocial boys who derived perverse pleasure from inflicting pain on kids who were clearly weaker than they were. A bully’s primary goal would have been to hurt John Lauber. I think Mitt was motivated by a tooardent desire to uphold the school’s unwritten cultural code, under the standards of which he thought John’s bleached, styled hair to be effeminate, and thus disrespectful to the school and its student body. Does that make what he did right? Of course not. The one quality about Mitt Romney that stood out more than the others was his abundant joy. He was one of the happiest guys I’ve ever seen, although he had his serious side, too. His love for life was palpable. I’d surmise that Mitt’s joy stemmed from his happy family life. When the demagogues sneer that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, they are right, but not in the way they mean. Mitt’s good fortune wasn’t his father’s money, but that his parents imparted to him great emotional wealth. He had to have a lot of emotional security and self-knowledge to be able to enter into such a successful, enduring marriage at such a young age, and I think that was George and Lenore Romney’s truly valuable bequest to him. Romney’s joy is no mere trivial factoid. It has relevance for this presidential race. I would prefer POTUS to be a happy, secure individual, and one who has loved and been grateful for his country all his life.

That meant that Mitt, who was further down the depth chart of a very strong team, would finally get to run in a varsity race. When the runners burst into view on the far side of the football field during halftime, Mitt astounded everyone by being near the lead. He had pushed himself to run the race of his life. But then, about 100-150 yards from the finish line, he reached his physical limit. Starved for oxygen, his legs started to shut down. His stride gave way to an unsteady stagger. Runners started to race past him. Then, winded and ashen, his face contorted in acute distress, he collapsed on the track some 30 yards from the finish line. He could have quit and stopped the agony. He had nothing to gain, it seemed, for every other runner had passed him, but still he didn’t give up. Instead, he literally crawled and dragged himself yard after yard on the cinder track, until finally he crossed the finish line and received some first aid. It was a heroic effort. Lesson: When Mitt Romney is committed to something, he gives it his all. President Obama and his supporters in government and the media have their work cut out for them. The president’s record is weak, so he can’t run for reelection on that. The logical Plan B is to turn Romney into a monster. That could prove to be a major strategic error. I haven’t had the privilege of knowing Mitt Romney, the adult. Others will have to tell us about his adult conduct. All I can tell you is that I saw a lot of potential for a life of positive accomplishments in that lanky teen in Stevens Hall. Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and fellow for economic and social policy with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. criticizes current administration After riding through the dust storm on North Second Ave. in Middleport today, I felt it was time that someone expressed their views on the way that Mayor Gerlach has permitted the destruction of most of the neighborhoods in the village by companies from out of town who could care less about the people in town. During the years that I was mayor, we had numerous water and sewer construction projects in town. We had streets torn up at times but they were always repaired in a timely manner. We did not leave rough concrete in trenches for months. We did not leave streets impassable such as Pearl, Ash, So. Second and many others. If the work is done there, why not pave the streets? Many streets in Middleport are not safe to drive on and probably won’t be for quite a while in the future. I would urge the mayor to take more interest in the well-being of the residents of our community and spend less time listening to state agencies tell him what a good job he is doing. Some of these officials should have tried to walk downtown today. The residents of our town should be the first priority for village officials. Right now, it appears that they are the last priority even though these officials are elected by the people. When Sandy was mayor, she had almost every street in town paved. Now it is very difficult to find a decent street to drive on. As for the new village hall and jail, I hope someone did their math well, or we will be stuck with paying for that for many years in the future. If you have only one jailer working per shift, your salaries are going to be at least $120,000 per year plus the other costs involved. But one good thing about all the improvements (?) in town, according to Mayor Gerlach, they are not costing us anything. Fred Hoffman, former Middleport mayor Pa. health care company seeks gas drilling facts Kevin Begos, Associated Press PITTSBURGH (AP) — Some people are absolutely sure gas drilling threatens public health, while others are absolutely sure it doesn’t. Geisinger Health Systems is looking for more facts on the debate. “Our concern is getting reliable data so we know what to do for our patients,” said David Carey, director of Geisinger’s Weis Center for Research in Danville, Pa. Geisinger serves many patients who live in areas that have seen a recent boom in Marcellus Shale gas drilling. The gas-rich formation thousands of feet underground has generated jobs, billions of dollars and concerns about possible environmental and public health impacts from thousands of new wells. “There’s a real need for reliable information for policymakers,” Carey said, yet some of the debate on the issue has been more emotion-driven than science-driven. 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. “Lack of data has not led to a lack of opinion,” Carey noted. But with state and federal budgets under intense pressure, there hasn’t been much money available for serious medical research. Then over the last year, executives at Geisinger realized they had a big head start. “We have a very long history of caring for patients in this region,” Carey said, noting the company serves 2.6 million patients and operates hospitals, clinics, and an insurance program in 44 north central and north eastern counties. That means they have vast troves of health care data, concerning everything from cancer to car accidents to asthma attacks. “We can map the clinical data in both space and in time,” Carey said, meaning they can compare health in areas with gas drilling to similar areas where it isn’t happening. Carey said the company isn’t presuming anything about the issue, though it is aware of both concerns and the economic value of the shale boom. “Our position is, let’s collect the data and find out,” he said. It may fall to private companies to do some of the work. Until a few months ago, Pennsylvania public health officials had expected to get a share of the revenue being generated by the state’s new Marcellus Shale law, which is projected to provide about $180 million to state and local governments in the first year. But representatives from Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s office and the state Senate cut the health appropriation to zero during final negotiations, so now the state Department of Health is left with a new workload but no funding to examine whether gas drilling impacts health. Many federal and state regulators say hydraulic fracturing is safe when done properly, and that thousands of wells have been drilled with few complaints of pollution. But environmental groups and some doctors assert regulations still aren’t tough enough and that the practice can pollute groundwater and air.

NATIONAL BANK RACINE & SYRACUSE Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 2012 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Reds’ Chapman sued for $18M over Cuban conviction MIAMI (AP) — A major league pitcher who defected from Cuba has been sued for $18 million by a CubanAmerican man who blames the player for his imprisonment on the communist island. The lawsuit was filed last week in Miami federal court against Aroldis Chapman, a left-handed pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. The lawsuit claims that Chapman falsely accused Danilo Curbelo Garcia of involvement in human trafficking, lead- ing to his 2008 arrest and conviction in Cuba. Curbelo Garcia is serving a 10-year sentence. Chapman defected in 2009 in the Netherlands and was signed a year later by the Reds to a six-year, $30.25 million contract. The lawsuit claims Chapman accused Curbelo Garcia to win favor with the Cuban government so he could rejoin its national baseball team and eventually travel overseas to stage his escape. Chapman had been suspended from the team for a previous attempt to flee Cuba. “His decision to leave the country led to his methodical subterfuge, which centered on demonstrating his loyalty to the state, which he accomplished by becoming an informant … and falsely reporting and testifying against Curbelo Garcia,” the lawsuit says. Chapman’s agent didn’t immediately return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment. The lawsuit was filed in South Florida because Chapman owns a home in the area and Curbelo Garcia’s wife and daughter both live here. Curbelo Garcia himself is a permanent legal U.S. resident in Miami who also holds Cuban citizenship. The lawsuit surfaced just before Chapman, 24, was arrested for speeding and driving with a suspended license early Monday in Ohio. Police said he was driving 93 mph on an interstate and was carrying a suspended Kentucky driver’s license. And this was just after the hard-throwing Chapman had closed out a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees, earning his first save of the season. According to the lawsuit, Chapman and his father testified at a trial that Curbelo Garcia had described during a meeting an elaborate plan for the player to defect that included a stay at a safe house and a rendezvous with a boat on a beach near Havana. Chapman claimed that Curbelo Garcia wanted to be paid a certain percentage once Chapman signed a baseball contract, the lawsuit says. Curbelo Garcia, however, insisted that he never proposed such a plan and only met Chapman briefly in July 2008 while visiting family in Cuba. A witness to that meeting quoted in the lawsuit contends that Curbelo Garcia only said something to the effect that “in the United States major league See CHAPMAN ‌| 8 River Valley lands a trio of All-OVC team selections Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com The Ohio Valley Conference has released it’s 2012 all-league baseball and softball teams.

The Point Pleasant (24-7) baseball team defeated Ritchie County (24-5) 10-7 Monday night, in the regional semifinal at Dick Schofield and Bill Butcher field, to advance to the regional final.

The next day, he was arrested and has been in prison ever since. Like many other Cuban prisoners, Curbela Garcia claims he has suffered beatings, long stretch- es of solitary confinement, health problems and been given inadequate food and medical care.

In 87 big-league games, Chapman has a 9-3 won-loss record, a career 2.42 ERA and 129 strikeouts in just over 85 innings pitched, according to the Reds website.

The Family Tree �Wednesday, May 23, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Wednesday, May 23, 2012 BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 23, 2012: You have a gift for effortlessly making friends this year. As a result, many of your long-term dreams could become realities. Learn to work with the unexpected more easily. If you can relax rather than become tense, you will be able to handle an innate volatility this year. If you are single, you’ll meet several potential suitors and will have difficulty selecting. Don’t, but take a workshop in the art of diplomacy. If you are attached, don’t fight over money — get separate checking accounts. CANCER is moody. 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 Sometimes even the best of intentions go haywire, making you wonder what your role in this mess was. At this point in time, you might have a very controlling boss or friend. Do your best not to respond to his or her game. Tonight: Happily head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Communication runs amok, as someone might not do or say what you feel is needed in a certain circumstance. Clearly, someone you are dealing with wants to have things his or her way. Detach and let this person have just that. Tonight: Visit with pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your vision and another person’s vision of what works might be in direct opposition. Choose not to make it an issue, and distance yourself appropriately. Let this person see the “rightness” of his or her ways, though do be nice. Tonight: Buy a new item for summer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might feel that you are in an either-or situation. Don’t take others’ comments personally. Your best move might be to simply pull back until a situation is resolved. The unexpected occurs out of the blue. Avoid a power play at all costs. Tonight: What you want to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might choose to distance yourself some from all the goings-on around you. You feel as if someone is pushing too hard to have his or her way. A simple “no” doesn’t seem to work. The unexpected occurs. Tonight: Take a personal night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will need to focus, as many people might attempt to distract you. Could an argument be building with a child or loved one? He or she might need your reassurance. Deal with joint financial issues carefully. There is a latent issue emerging. Tonight: Among friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Tension builds, as a respected elder, boss or parent demands that certain matters be done his or her way. Push easily comes to shove. Hard words are spoken. Don’t get into this power play. The only way to win a control game is not to play. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal situation. Talk to someone with more experience in such matters who is not involved. Detach and don’t get into a struggle of wills. Recognize that no one wins that way. Let the other party be upset for a while. You cannot be responsible for his or her mood. Tonight: Take in a different vision. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal with each person individually, even if this isn’t the norm for you. Relating directly helps you establish needed boundaries. Someone needs to understand that he or she doesn’t have access to your funds as if they were his or her own! Tonight: A cozy dinner for two. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to rethink a personal issue rather than keep pushing to have your way. You might not realize how you are coming off. Do you really want the other party in this interaction to feel pushed? Tonight: Why not allow someone else to make the first move and choose the plans? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You are concerned about finishing up an errand or completing a project. Your mind is elsewhere; therefore, you could cause yourself a problem. An unexpected call or email could bring you back to the here and now. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your imagination takes over. Even when someone tries to be controlling, your sense of humor makes it close to impossible to take this person seriously. By not playing, you break past a new barrier. Tonight: Let the romantic in you out.
