Many customers in the area remain without power and some with out water, phone and other services. Trees, downed lines, and debris were still scattered throughout the region on Monday with residents and villages beginning the difficult task of cleaning up as crew continue to work to restore power to the region. As of mid-afternoon on Monday, American Electric Power was report- ing 8,316 customers (73.1 percent) without power in Meigs County. Reports from AEP state that power will be restored by Friday, July 6. Racine Village Hall — the former Racine Elementary School — suffered extensive damage from Friday evening’s storm, with the chimney falling through onto the first floor staircase. Mayor Scott Hill said that tarps have been placed on the roof to cover the hole left from the storm, with insurance looking into the damages. Village Hall remained closed until further notice due to the damage. The majority of the village has had power restored, while trees and some lines remain down throughout the village. In addition to village hall, several other homes and structures in the vil- lage received damage. Despite the damage, Hill said that the Fourth of July activities will take place as scheduled. The village of Middleport came through the heavy storm of Friday night with fewer problems than most communities in Meigs County. Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach said electric power went out in about half of the residences and a few businesses during the storm but that by 7 p.m. on Saturday power was restored to almost everyone. However, Monday morning a few residents reported they were still without power. “Half of the town never lost power. We were fortunate,” said Gerlach. He noted that both the Dairy Queen and See STORMS |‌ 5 Sarah Hawley/photo Just inside the doors of Racine Village Hall is a pile of bricks which were the chimney at the former elementary school.

MEIGS COUNTY — While lack of electricity remains a major concern throughout the area, lack of water is also a problem. A statement released on Monday by the Tupper PlainsChester Water District dispelled rumors of potential problems with water services. The statement read, “the Tuppers Plains Chester Water District has ‘fixed in place’ back-up power at our Water Treatment Plant and at all remote pump stations throughout our water distribution system. The District has 20 backup generators, and they are all running and have been since the storm. At many of our tank sites we use solar power, and at one tank site we use a wind turbine and solar.” “They are all automated and started directly after power was lost. Fuel can last many days, and we have already arranged and received fuel at the locations that needed the fuel. It is anticipated that no customers will lose service throughout this emergency.” “The many calls to the office are concerning rumors that See WATER ‌| 5 Submitted photo Damaging winds caused extensive damage around the region.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign delivered donated water and food to the Racine Volunteer Fire Department and the Gallia County Senior Resource Center, along with four other locations throughout southeast Ohio on Monday and will continue with one stop on Tuesday. In addition to the stop in Meigs County, campaign staff, including Romney Senior Advisor and Ohio State Manager Scott Jennings, were delivering items to locations in Cambridge, Caldwell, Marietta, Portsmouth and Newark. Jennings estimated that 50 cases of water and more than 1,000 non-perishable food items would be dropped off at each location.

Member SIPC. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When the lights began flickering during another bout of thunderstorms, Leo Welsh braced himself for his second power outage in three days and decided there was no point in getting upset. The first outage at his Columbus home followed winds of up to 80 mph on Friday. While other Ohio residents were told they might be in the dark for days, Welsh’s outage lasted about 20 hours. The second round of storms Sunday knocked out the lights throughout his neighborhood, including the ones that had remained on at the house next door, and Welsh figured it must be his turn to wait. So he packed the food from his refrigerator — plus the food his mother-in-law had brought over when her power went out — carted it to his brother’s place in Grandview and patiently addressed his 3-year-old son’s questions about when someone might be coming by to fix the TV. “Getting worked up about it is not going to make the power come on any sooner,” said Welsh, 33, a nursing home administrator. Still, he was repeatedly dialing home on Monday, hoping to hear the sweet sound of the answering machine indicating his electricity was back. By lunchtime, there was still no answer. The Sunday storms expanded the outage lists by the thousands, including some Ohio homes and businesses where power already had been lost and restored. About 445,000 Ohio customers — mostly of American Electric Power — were without power at midday Monday, and residents were scrambling to stay cool as temperatures climbed into the 90s. Dayton Power and Light planned free ice giveaways to help some of its 17,000 affected customers. Duke Energy had more than 8,000 customers out.

M-F 10-5 Sat 10-2 • (Closed July 4th) 60330005 108 Mechanic Street Pomeroy, Ohio 60330957 Federal and state officials and relief workers were trying to determine the biggest and most urgent needs. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency said it was fielding dozens of calls from people who mistakenly thought state and federal officials were offering access to generators for personal use. The agency was redirecting those callers to local 211 hotlines and the American Red Cross for information about cooling shelters. Gov. John Kasich declared a state emergency during the weekend, called out the National Guard and sought help from President Barack Obama, who declared a federal emergency in Ohio. Federal aid trucks carrying water were sent to six distribution points in southern and eastern Ohio. About 200 National Guard members were going doorto-door in the Columbus and Dayton areas Monday to check on residents who might need help. Columbus planned to open fire hydrants at four spots Monday afternoon to help residents cool off. AEP said Friday’s storm was Ohio’s worst since the state was battered in 2008 by the remnants of Hurricane Ike. Out-of-state reinforcements were limited by big needs in the Washington, D.C., area and neighboring states that were also hit by storms. In the meantime, many people visited friends and family to enjoy some air conditioning and to charge their cellphones and laptops. The flashlights that Natalie Driscoll’s family bought after the first outage proved useful Sunday when storms cut the electricity again at her home near Springfield. “My 2-year-old thought it was kind of fun at first,” Driscoll said. “She got to play with the new flashlights.” With their power not expected to return before Tuesday evening, Driscoll packed two coolers with food from her refrigerator and freezer and took her two young daughters to stay with her parents in Upper Sandusky, a two-hour drive away. Her husband stayed at home, where Friday’s storm had torn the top off their tall pine tree and left it in their yard. “It looked like somebody pulled a Christmas tree down and laid it in our yard, instead of putting it by the curb,” said Driscoll, 28. In southeast Ohio, more than half of Wayne National Forest was closed to the public and some visitors were asked to leave recreation areas as a precaution while park workers inspected trails for fallen trees and other damage. Ohio officials confirmed one storm death. A 70-yearold woman died Friday evening in Muskingum County when a barn collapsed after she had gone to check on animals during the storm. State Treasurer Josh Mandel said small business owners, farmers and other Ohioans might be eligible for interest rate reductions on loans to recover or rebuild from the storm damage. He said he’s made $25 million available through the state’s Renew Ohio & Rebuild Ohio emergency financing programs. �Tuesday, July 3, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Wildlife biologists verify 2011 bobcat sightings ATHENS — For the second year in a row, more than 100 bobcats have been shown to be living in Ohio’s southeastern counties with the confirmation of 136 sightings by state wildlife officials during 2011, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The reports show an increase from the 106 verified sightings in 2010. The bobcat is listed as an en- dangered species in Ohio and is protected by state law. Bobcats once roamed across Ohio during early settlement, but as more people settled within the state, their numbers diminished. By the year 1850, bobcats no longer lived in Ohio. However, a handful of unverified sightings of the bobcat in the 1960s announced the introduction of the return of the Ohio bobcat. Since 1970, there have been 691 bobcat sightings in 38 counties verified by state wildlife biologists. The majority of wildcat-verified reports for 2011 occurred in Noble County and surrounding counties. The bobcat may be verified with photographs of the animal itself and its tracks; road kill recovery and sightings by Division of Wildlife personnel as well as encounters through incidental trap- pings, which are followed by the animals being released. Since bobcats are typically elusive and it is rare for people to see them in the wild, the Division of Wildlife is using technology to clarify estimated populations of bobcats. To help them with their research, biologists use remote cameras and scent stations. Wildlife officials also use GPS radiocollars to track the location of bob- cats after catching and releasing them. The efforts to learn more about the locations of bobcats have been supported by the Wildlife Diversity and Endangered Species Fund. Ohioans give donations to this fund through the state income tax check-off program and by purchasing cardinal license plates. People may also make donations toward this cause online at wildohio.com. Meigs recognizes ‘Student of the Month’ winners More federal Shawnella Patterson MHS Junior Special to the Daily Sentinel POMEROY — Meigs and Gallia counties are two of the 15 counties in southeastern Ohio to be awarded additional federal money to support the large scale clean-up and restoration recovery efforts attributed to the record amounts of rainfall in southern Ohio during April and May 2011. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced Friday that the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services will receive additional National Emergency Grant (NEG) funding from the U.S. Department of Labor to support dislocated workers to assist with ongoing clean-up efforts in counties in Ohio affected by the severe weather. Brown said the funding will help small businesses, families, and communities in southeast Ohio while putting Ohioans to work. The $12,193,752 grant — the fourth installment of NEG funding — will create additional temporary jobs and extend the project for 12 months to complete clean-up work at new sites that have been identified as the project has unfolded. The geographic areas covered by this funding are the counties of Athens, Belmont, Gallia, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington. Ohio governor vetoes test of pricey painkiller drug COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The decision by Ohio Gov. John Kasich to veto a $1 million pilot program that would test a treatment for painkiller addicts in trouble with the law hasn’t stopped substance abuse centers from looking for ways to fund their own use of the drug, which can cost as much as $1,000 a month. The drug, depot naltrexone, marketed as Vivitrol, is not new, but the application — a monthly shot in the buttocks — is seen as an alternative to older methods of treating heroin and painkiller addictions. “An alcoholic who hasn’t had a drink for 40 years can lose those 40 years in one hour,” said Paul Coleman, executive director of Maryhaven, the oldest substance abuse counseling center in central Ohio. “There is always the risk of returning to the behavior that causes the disease. Vivitrol minimizes it.” Maryhaven, with offices in several Ohio counties, has applied for a federal grant to cover the use of Vivitrol in Franklin County because of the cost. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Vivitrol in October 2010 to treat and prevent relapse after patients addicted to drugs like heroin and painkillers have gone through detox. The drug, which blocks the drugs’ effects, was approved to treat alcohol dependence in 2006. Coleman calls the treatment another tool in treating addiction among the general population, but promising when it comes to ex-offenders trying to kick the habit. Vivitrol generally works best with people — like inmates — who have been forced off their drug of choice but are at risk of relapse. The pilot vetoed by Kasich last month would have paid for Vivitrol’s use before and after release by 150 inmates in Franklin and Scioto counties who are either alcoholics or addicted to heroin or painkillers. Kasich said singling out Vivitrol contradicted his “all strategies forward” approach of tackling the painkiller problem. Dublin, Ireland-based Alkermes, the drug’s manufacturer, criticized Kasich’s decision, calling it a mistake because of the need to do something to keep drug-addicted offenders from relapsing. Drug overdose deaths driven by painkiller addictions are now the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio, surpassing car crashes. The same is true in dozens of other states, including Florida, Kentucky and Utah.

(AP) — In New Mexico, Tomasita Maestas says she will pick the presidential candidate who has the best plan to fix education and the economy. In Arizona, Mexican immigrant Carlos Gomez backs Republican Mitt Romney because he’s more conservative on social issues than his Democratic opponent. In Miami, Colombia native Luna Lopez probably will vote for President Barack Obama now that he’s decided to halt the deportation of many illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. The reasons that Hispanics give for choosing between Obama and Romney are just as diverse as the countries that they or their ancestors once called home, suggesting there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to courting the nation’s fastestgrowing minority group. The Latino vote isn’t monolithic or, really, a voting bloc. It includes a range of people with varying opinions. Among them are Republican-leaning Cubans in Florida, new Mexican immigrants and longtime descendants of Spanish settlers in the Southwest, and Democratic-tilting Puerto Ricans in the East. Immigration policy would seem to be the natural top issue for these voters, except that nearly two-thirds of Hispanics are born in the U.S. Their priorities are the same as the general population — jobs, the economy, education and health care. “We need to see more jobs here, that’s my No. 1 priority and what I want to hear about,” says Stefan Gonzalez, an almost 18-year-old from Denver, whose heritage includes Spanish, Mexican and Native American roots. Gonzalez, who works in a suburban Denver pawn shop, says he plans to vote for Obama this fall. In Albuquerque, Ernest Gurule, an 84-year-old whose ancestors settled New Mexico in 1580, says his main issue is the federal health care plan upheld by the Supreme Court last week, and that he’ll back Obama in part because of it. Also, the Democrat, adds: “It’s too expensive to change horses midstream.” Democrats and Republicans are in a fierce race to figure out how to best reach Hispanics. In the short term, these voters could decide the outcome in Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida and elsewhere. The long-term stakes are even bigger because Hispanics are projected to account for roughly 30 percent of the population by 2050, doubling in size and, potentially changing the national political landscape. Like most minorities, Hispanics traditionally have leaned Democratic. But a recent Pew Research poll indicates that Hispanics also are the fastestgrowing group of independent voters, with 46 percent now shunning a party label compared with 31 percent six years ago. Such results only underscore how diverse Hispanics are and the challenges for the political parties. “It is going to be a very hard fight to win,” says Jennifer Korn, the executive director of the Republican-based Hispanic Leadership Network, which was established to help bring more Hispanic voters to the GOP. “The more they assimilate, the more sophisticated they become and that’s when they start dividing between parties.” For now at least, Obama and his Democrats have an advantage, with the latest polls showing 65 percent of Hispanics back Obama and 25 percent back Romney. The Democrats’ campaign has worked to keep that edge, helped by Obama’s new immigration policy and the Supreme Court’s decision to side with the administration on most of an Arizona law that many immigrants viewed as overly harsh. His campaign has spent the past year setting up offices with grassroots outreach to Hispanic communities in the Southwest, as well as in important states such as Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Florida. Mindful of the diversity among Hispanics, Obama has custom-tailored his outreach, including tweaking Spanish dialect for different regions. For instance, in Florida the campaign has two distinct outreach plans. One focuses on Cuban-Americans in Miami who tend to lean Republican and are less concerned about immigration; the other speaks to traditionally Democratic Puerto Ricans, who are U.S. citizens from birth, as well as new immigrants from Central America. Obama also has promoted the new health law, which can resonate in states such as New Mexico, which has one of the highest rates of uninsured in the country. Romney has plenty of ground to make up after a bruising pri- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

He recently established a Hispanic advisory group that includes top elected Republican Hispanics. During the primaries, the former Massachusetts governor pledged to veto legislation, known as the DREAM Act, that would give a path to citizenship to young immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children but have since attended school or served in the military. He has since toned down his anti-immigration stance, which included self-deportation, telling a Hispanic leadership gathering in the Orlando area that he would address illegal immigration “in a civil but resolute manner.” Alexandra Franceschi, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee’s Hispanic effort, made clear that the GOP outreach will focus broadly on the economy. “Hispanics are Americans and are facing the same issues as everyone else, chronically high unemployment, lower pay and rising health care costs,” she said. Republicans have noted that under Obama, the Hispanic unemployment rate is higher than the national average. And Hispanics’ median household income fell 7 percent between 2000 and 2010, from $43,100 to $40,000, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. What drives Hispanics to vote depends on who’s asked. Lopez, a 20-year-old new citizen and college student from Colombia, cites Obama’s policy shift on deportation as reason she’s likely to pick him when she casts her first vote in the country. “The issue didn’t directly affect me, but I have many family members and friends who it did,” she said. In Arizona, Gomez, a 43-year-old priest who immigrated to Phoenix 15 years ago, backed Obama’s policy change. But Gomez says immigration isn’t his priority because “immigrants will continue coming across the border no matter what we do.” He says he’s voting for Romney because, like him, the Republican opposes gay marriage and abortion rights. In Albuquerque, Maestas, a 37-year-old mother and office manager, is focused intently on pocketbook issues. Immigration, she says, is only important to “a certain point” because “If you can’t take care of your own, how are you going to take care of others?” NEW YORK (AP) — Who knew the calendar could cause so much vacation heartburn? For the first time in five years Independence Day falls on a Wednesday, leaving travelers unsure when to celebrate and worrying those who make a living off tourists. “The midweek holiday seems to have travelers confused,” said Anthony Del Gaudio, vice president of hotel sales for Loews Hotels, which isn’t seeing the normal July Fourth spike in bookings. Those who sell vacations say this year’s calendar gives Americans more options: Tack on Saturday through Tuesday or Thursday through Sunday to the holiday, or just take the entire week off. But consumers’ confidence has been waning. Now, some aren’t happy about having to burn an extra vacation day or two to get that long weekend. From 2008 through 2011, the work holiday fell on either Friday or Monday, so employees and their families got an automatic three-day weekend, similar to Memorial Day and Labor Day. “It’s irritating because everybody wants those three, four-day holiday weekends,” said Tom Donohue, who runs an HIV awareness program based in Charlottesville, Va. In recent years, he’s traveled to see family in Pennsylvania, including his father whose birthday is on July 2. There’s swimming and boating on the Susquehanna River and — of course — fireworks. Not this year. Donohue plans to stay local, savings those days off “for an actual vacation,” a Caribbean cruise in October. Others are determined to have their summer holiday no matter what. Alicia Hutton, her husband and their two daughters are flying from Boston to Baltimore to see family. The parents had to take two extra days off from their jobs to make the Wednesday-Saturday trip work. “It’s not ideal because normally we would tack on one day to a long weekend,” Hutton said. AAA, one of the nation’s largest travel agencies, projects 42.3 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home between July 3 and July 8. That’s roughly the same amount that traveled 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.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. in 2007, the last time July Fourth fell on a Wednesday. Last year, when the holiday fell on a Monday, 40.3 million people traveled. But before you think it’s a big increase, note that AAA’s economists changed how they estimated the number of travelers: They used a six-day period this year compared to five last year. “In general, we think that travel from last year is pretty flat,” said Shane Norton, a director at IHS Global Insight, which provides economic forecasting and research for AAA. The economy weighs heavily on families’ travel plans. Consumer confidence has fallen for four straight months as Americans continue to worry about their jobs and retirement funds. The June reader of a widely followed confidence index was 62. A reading of 90 indicates a healthy economy. That helps explain why families don’t seem prepared yet to splurge on vacation. Many want to get away but are opting for lower-priced hotels and are looking specifically for properties with free breakfast and Internet. Or they’re choosing instead to stay with friends or relatives. The typical traveler will spend $749 over six days, down from $807 over five days last year, according to an online survey of 344 people conducted for AAA. Another look at the holiday, by Visa Inc., shows that all Americans — whether traveling or not — will spend an average of $191 on July 4th activities, down from $216 last year. Visa surveyed 1,012 people by telephone. “With most Americans continuing to watch every dollar closely, many have realized that sparklers and flag emblazoned t-shirts are not essential items” Jason Alderman, Visa’s senior director of global financial education said in a statement. Some don’t plan to celebrate at all. There will be no trips to the beach, no fireworks and no barbeques for 1 in 5 Americans, according to Visa. The overwhelming majority of Independence Day travelers plan to drive: 35.5 million people or 84 percent of travelers according to AAA. As they do, they’ll get a break at the pump. The price of gasoline, always on travelers’ minds before a summer road trip, is now an average $3.33 per gallon — down from almost $4 in early April, when there was talk of $5 gas by summer. Whether that will translate into spending more at their destination remains unclear. “Theoretically, it should boost consumer spending, but so far there’s no evidence of that,” said energy consultant Jim Ritterbusch. “The housing industry is still depressed and that’s keeping people from being confident. They’re going to remain thrifty.” Another 3.2 million travelers, or 8 percent of holiday vacationers, plan to fly. That will boost their credit card bills: the average domestic roundtrip ticket is $391, up 6 percent from last year, according to Travelocity. Hotel rooms will also cost more. The average price for a room in the top 25 cities will be $140, up 16 percent from last year, according to Orbitz. Some families haven’t been able to travel for three or four years. There are signs they might finally be ready for a summer trip, whether it’s this week or not. Adam Weissenberg, who heads the travel and hospitality consulting group at Deloitte, said many families canceled or delayed vacations during the recession. “People are starting to say: gee, I need to take a vacation,” Weissenberg said. Brandy Moore, owner and captain of Biloxi Shrimping Trips in Mississippi, was worried about the mid-week holiday but has ended up selling out her 20-person, 6 a.m. fishing tour for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. But she attributes it to a better overall summer season; not a particularly strong Independence Day. “We are just are having a really busy summer all around,” Moore said. At Kampgrounds of America Inc., which operates 450 campgrounds in the United States under the KOA name, summer bookings are up 5 percent from last year. But KOA is still feeling the effect of the calendar quick. Reservations for the July Fourth holiday are down 4 percent. “It’s the weakest situation we could ask for,” said Mike Gast, the company’s vice president of communications. “We obviously like it to be a Friday or Monday.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 McClures were “flooded with customers” since most eating places in Pomeroy and Mason were closed. To accommodate customers, both restaurants stayed open until after midnight on both Friday and Saturday nights. As for damage, the mayor reported it was minimal compared to other places in the county. He said the roof on one business building was peeled back, there was major tree damage to a couple of houses, that a trailer on Ash Street was blown off its foundation, and that fencing around the ball field was damaged. He said several big trees fell , but mostly away from buildings. Middleport Hill was closed to traffic for a period of time while a power line incident was handled by American Electric Power. After the Friday night’s storm passed, village workers and members of the Middleport Fire Department worked to get the streets open to traffic. In anticipation of need for shelter given the velocity of the storm, the auditorium at Middleport Village Hall was opened as a shelter and arrangements were made for food if needed. Gerlach said that two men from Minersville, one on oxygen, were still at the shelter Monday morning. He said they brought along an inflatable mattress, therefore not requiring ones available from the village, and were taking care of their own food needs. While the actual need for shelter was minor, “it seemed everyone who came in just wanted to plug in their cell phones,” commented the mayor. While village hall did not have a power outage as a result of the storm, in the event it had experienced one, then the building is equipped with a backup generator system. The mayor reported that Gallia County which was hard hit by the storm was left without power at the jail and transported six prisoners to Middleport for temporary confinement. Mid-afternoon Monday, Mayor Gerlach described the village as being “pretty well back to normal” and added that the July Fourth celebration will be held Wednesday as planned. In addition to downed power lines and trees in Rutland, damage occurred to the Rutland Department Store. A fire during Friday’s storm caused damage to the building which remained closed on Monday. Syracuse Mayor Eric Cunningham reported that their are several trees down, damage to roofs and buildings blown into neighboring yards. Cleanup efforts are under way in the village, with the pool open for business on Monday afternoon. Many of the residents in the village have power restored, while some areas in the village remain without electric. A shelter remains in place at the Syracuse Community Center and will remain open throughout the week. In Pomeroy, some areas remain without power, while the downtown area had power restored over the weekend. Many local businesses were open for business on Monday. Despite rumors, Rutland village will not be shutting off water to customers as long as the Leading Creek Conservancy District remains up and running. Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach said the village experienced no problems with the water system pumping stations which are connected to generators for use in emergencies. He stressed that while some communities are experiencing water problems, Middleport’s system is just fine. Syracuse Mayor Eric Cunningham echoed the same statement, saying that a backup was put in place following the ice storm a few years ago. The village of Pomeroy is experiencing water problems in some areas, with lack of power to some pump stations. Stations effected early Monday were in the areas of Lincoln Hill, Ann Street and Mulberry Heights, according to the water office.

Now, fans will decide if Chipper Jones gets one final appearance or whether it’s time for teen sensation Bryce Harper. Hamilton drew a record total of more than 11 million votes, and the slugger was among seven Rangers chosen Sunday as All-Stars. A trio of San Francisco Giants rallied in the last week to claim spots, while three Yankees also made the starting lineup. “I don’t think the Texas Rangers have to apologize because we’ve got good players,” AL manager Ron Washington of Texas said. “I certainly didn’t pick my guys being selfish, I picked them very deserving of being All-Stars, bottom line.” Washington fastballer Stephen Strasburg and Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey were two of the 66 players chosen by fans, managers and big leaguers for the showcase July 10 in Kansas City. So was 20-year-old Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout, who leads the AL in hitting at .339 and drew more than 800,000 write-in votes. Few of the races for starting spots were close and there seemed to be little complaining about the fans’ choices. OK, sure, David Wright could’ve gotten the nod over Pablo Sandoval. But there certainly will be campaigning this week when it comes to Jones and Harper after they were left off — for now, anyway. The NL and AL each have one spot left, with fans voting online through Thursday to select one of five candidates in both leagues. Jones and Harper are two of the NL possibilities. At 40, Jones is a seventime All-Star and plans to retire after this season. Banged up, the Atlanta third baseman has managed to hit near .300. “This being my last year, it would be fun to go. I’d love to take my kids,” Jones said. At 19, Harper started the season in Triple-A. The Washington outfielder has dazzled since his promotion with his bat, arm and flat-out hustle. “I’m an old-timer, so I’d probably lean toward Chipper,” NL manager Tony La Russa said on the TBS selection show. The league that wins the All-Star game gains homefield advantage in the World Series. The NL won last year, then St. Louis became the ninth straight home team to win Game 7 in the Series. Sandoval was picked for the NL at third base despite missing a month with a broken hand and not matching the stats of Wright. “I’m surprised I made it,” said Sandoval, popular for his “Kung Fu Panda” persona. “He’s been having a great year but the fans gave me the votes. I can’t thank them enough.” See MLB ‌| 8 Jeff Siner/Charlotte Observer/MCT photo NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski waits for crew members to make adjustments to his car during a break in practice at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday, February 22, 2012, in Daytona, Florida. Keselowski’s 3rd Cup win shakes things up The next frontier for Tiger Pete Marovich/MCT photo Tiger Woods with the trophy on the eighteenth hole during the final round of the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland on Sunday. SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Brad Keselowski was the only driver at Kentucky Speedway to compete in all three NASCAR races. Late on a hot Saturday night in the Bluegrass countryside, he also was the only one to pick up a third Sprint Cup win of the season. “I wanted all three, but sometimes that ain’t meant to happen,” a happy Keselowski said about his starts in the Truck, Nationwide and Cup races at the 1.5-mile oval. “But second, seventh and a first ain’t bad at all.” It sure isn’t. Now Keselowski is elbowing his way into the season-ending Chase picture and making more than a couple of other drivers nervous about their own chances. As the Cup series builds to its climactic stretch run, Keselowski, who also won at Bristol and Talladega and is now 10th in the standings, is making a lot of people take notice. Kyle Busch stands 12th with the top 12 through the first 26 races making the Chase “playoffs.” He realizes that 10thplace finishes — like he had at Kentucky — might not be good enough. “We’re still within reach and everything,” he said in the din of the postrace bustle, before adding, “We’re certainly not running the way we need to be running.” Kasey Kahne, who used a late rally to close to second in Kentucky, climbed into the final wild-card position at 14th. “A top-five (finish) is good, but it’s probably not going to get us in the Chase,” he said. “We need to win a race or two more to make the Chase.” Kahne rallied from a lap down to squeeze Keselowski’s final advantage to 4.399 seconds. Kahne had finished higher than 19th just once in the season’s first six races. Crashes at Pocono and Michigan put a damper on his hopes before he started picking off cars in the final few laps on the bumpy track in Kentucky. “We’ve got to keep working on it and got to be a little stronger throughout,” he said. “But my car was fast. The longer the run went, the better we seemed to get.” Because Carl Edwards, 11th in the standings, and 13thplace Paul Menard have yet to win, Kahne has an advantage thanks to his win at Charlotte. “It’s time for us to get it in gear,” Edwards said. “I am Woods is winning majors BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — For all the endless parallels between the so-called new Tiger Woods and the old one, this was one comparison he didn’t mind. Winning at Congressional made it seem like 2009 all over again. Woods returned from a significant leg injury back then amid questions whether he could be the same golfer he once was. He answered by winning Bay Hill, Memorial and the AT&T National in the first half of the season, and he wound up winning six times on the PGA Tour, seven worldwide. This time, he is coming off a year in which he sat out three months and two majors to allow left leg injuries to fully heal. Halfway through the season, he has won those same three tournaments, so perhaps he is headed toward another year like 2009. “Well, I had a good year that year. I think I won six times that year. That would be nice if I could get that same total,” Woods said, pausing to smile before adding, “with a couple of majors in there.” Therein lies the difference — and the challenge. It’s all about the majors, isn’t it? PGA Tour events should not be dismissed. Congressional was tougher than it was for the U.S. Open last year. An argument could be made that no other golf course on U.S. soil did a better job identifying who played the best that week. It was the 74th career win for Woods, moving him past Jack Nicklaus into second place, leaving him only eight tour wins short of Sam Snead’s record. Even so, that’s one of the few times Woods and Nicklaus are mentioned together when the topic is not major championships. Majors are said to be the toughest to win, though that can be debated. The conditions tend to be so extreme they expose and eliminate those who don’t have full control of their game and their emotions. That’s what Phil Mickelson suggested in 2001 at the PGA Championship when he was frustrated by not having won a major at that point in his career, and Adam Scott raised the same point early last week at Congressional. “I still think majors are every good player’s best opportunity to win a tournament,” Scott said. Woods has not been a factor in the first two majors, another parallel to 2009. He tied for 40th at the Masters, and after sharing the 36-hole lead in the U.S. Open, he stumbled on the weekend and tied for 21st. While his performance looked OK on paper in 2009, he was never a factor in the first two majors — seven shots behind going into the last round at Augusta National, nine shots out of the lead on the last day at Bethpage Black. The next stop for Woods is Royal Lytham & St. Annes, but not before he heads to The Greenbrier Classic this week in West Virginia. The odds makers have installed Woods as the favorite for the British Open, just as they did for the Masters and the U.S. Open. And it’s still a good bet. Luke Donald remains No. 1 in the world, with Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood not far behind. Even with his win at Congressional, Woods stayed at No. 4 in the world. That’s only because of the math, and the fact the world ranking is based on two years instead of what happened yesterday, or even the last three months. No matter. The score that will get everyone’s attention at Lytham will belong to Woods. “I think he’s the only guy to win three tournaments on tour this year, is that correct?” Bo Van Pelt said after taking Woods the distance on Sunday only to finish two shots behind. “On three different golf courses. And he was leading the U.S. Open after two days.

(AP) — A smooth flow of traffic into and out of the Kentucky Motor Speedway over the weekend shows that improvements designed to prevent a repeat of last year’s gridlock were successful, Gov. Steve Beshear said Monday. The state spent $3.7 million on road improvements over the past year around the Sparta racetrack to prevent another traffic jam like the one last year that caused thousands of fans to miss the race. The Speedway spent more than $8 million for additional improvements that also helped to expedite traffic flow. Beshear declared it “a tremendous success” two days after Saturday’s Sprint Cup race that drew more than 100,000 fans. “We had great crowds, and we had great traffic control,” he said. “It was a situation that I think you could say was night and day compared to last year. Things went very, very well.” More than 100,000 attended the Quaker State 400 last year as well. But track officials estimated that nearly 50,000 fans never made it to the race because of the massive traffic jam. At one point, traffic backed up as much as 15 miles, leaving stranded fans outraged. Beshear vowed at the time that the state would take action to ensure there would be no repeat. Speedway general manager Mark Simendinger said last month that more parking lots were added to accommodate an additional 15,000 to 20,000 vehicles. Kentucky 35, the main road leading to the Speedway was widened to accommodate seven lanes of traffic during events. The Interstate 71 ramp to Kentucky 35 was expanded to four lanes. The state also built a 170-foot-long, 42-footwide pedestrian tunnel under the highway to connect the new parking areas. Economic development officials in Kentucky covet the NASCAR race that generates an estimated $100 million. Kentucky State Police also provided traffic updates to race fans through Facebook and Twitter and radio station 1620 AM within a five-mile radius of the track. �Tuesday, July 3, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com ANNOUNCEMENTS SERVICES Business • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 60330088 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Please leave a message Legals Village of Pomeroy will hold a Budget Hearing for the 2013 Tax Budget on July 9th from 6:30-7:00 PM at Pomeroy Village Hall. 7/3 STATE OF OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF MINERAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT In the Matter of: Property owned by CORA RENSHAW located in Meigs County, Ohio DOWELL MINE DRAIN RECLAMATION PROJECT FINDINGS AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO ENTER PROPERTY TO CONDUCT RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES To: CORA RENSHAW: The State of Ohio, acting by and through the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mineral Resources Management, pursuant to Section 1513.37 of the Ohio Revised code, wishes to undertake a reclamation project to install mine drainage collection devices in order to direct mine drainage away from one occupied dwelling and associated septic system.

To the golfing public, that’s just window dressing. When it comes to Woods, the majors are really all that matter at this stage in his career. The notion of whether he is “back” from physical and emotional scars has been answered by now. He is capable of winning whenever and wherever he plays. Even so, the conversation among the CBS Sports analysts as Woods walked toward the 18th green at Congressional shifted to the majors, and rightfully so. Until he reaches Snead’s record, the focus will be where it always has been — on the four biggest prizes in golf. Woods now has won 27 percent of his PGA Tour events, a rate never seen for a guy who’s been around for 16 years. To break that down, he has won 28 percent of his regular tour events, compared with 24 percent of his majors. That translates to one major a year over the course of his career. But he has gone four years without one, dating to the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines when he played on a left leg that had two stress frac- tures and shredded knee ligaments that had to be rebuilt the day after he won. Woods was practically gloating Sunday evening about those who dared to even suggest earlier this year he might not win again. One reporter mentioned he had won three of his last seven starts and asked which parts of his game have come around. “Pretty much everything,” Woods said. “I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again. Here we are.” When the issue of media skeptics was raised later in his interview, Woods talked about overhauling his swing and that not being able to practice essentially put him a year behind. But once he became healthy, he could see the progress. “It was just a matter of time,” he said. “I could see the pieces coming together. … Give me a little bit of time, and I feel like this is what I can do.” He’s doing what he once did with frightening regularity, which is to pose with the trophy. This is the 12th time in 16 seasons that Woods has won at least three times. Nicklaus had 14 seasons of at least three wins, though he never won more than seven in a year. Woods has had three seasons of at least eight wins. There’s that Woods-Nicklaus comparison again, but it’s not the one everyone thinks about. Including Woods. www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Blue Jackets trade for Foligno, sign Aucoin COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets are gradually getting a makeover. The Jackets dealt one of their top defenseman, Marc Methot, to the Ottawa Senators on Sunday for restricted free agent winger Nick Foligno. The move underscores general manager Scott Howson’s belief that he has fortified the defense through the acquisition of blueliner Jack Johnson and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and now must add some scoring. On the first day for free agent signings, the club also locked up three players. Defenseman Adrian Aucoin came aboard for a one-year deal worth $2 million plus bonuses. He gives the club an experienced blue-liner to pair with one of several young defensemen on the roster. Columbus also signed another goaltender with NHL experience in Curtis McElhinney, who will add depth in net with either the Blue Jackets or elsewhere in the organization. Columbus traded for McElhinney a year ago, but he did not play due to an injury. The biggest change is still being negotiated. The club has reportedly been weighing offers for captain Rick Nash, but Howson has declined to discuss anything related to the situation. Nash revealed midway through last season that he had asked the Blue Jackets to be traded. Foligno, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., has 61 goals and 87 assists with 299 penalty minutes in 351 career games, all with the Senators. “Nick is a versatile, durable two-way player who at age 24 is coming off the best season of his career,” Howson said. “We’re excited about what he will add to our group of forwards.” Foligno was the Senators’ top draft pick in 2006. He had a career-high 17 goals in 200809 and has at least 14 goals and 32 points in his four full NHL seasons. He has also played in 177 consecutive games. Methot was Columbus’ seventh pick in 2003. A stayat-home defenseman, he has totaled seven goals, 44 assists and 208 penalty minutes in 275 career games, all with Columbus. Last year, he had a goal and six assists with 24 penalty minutes in 46 games before missing the final 28 games due to injury. Aucoin, who turns 39 on July 3, has 121 goals and 274 assists in 1,072 games with Vancouver, Tampa Bay, the New York Islanders, Chicago, Calgary and Phoenix during a career that spans 17 seasons. In 2011-12, he had two goals and seven assists in 64 games with the Coyotes. “Adrian was the first defenseman we contacted today,” Howson said. “He is an experienced player who can move the puck and he reads the game very well. He will provide leadership and will be a great mentor to our young defensemen.” The Blue Jackets signed McElhinney to a one-year, twoway NHL-American Hockey League contract. The deal will pay the veteran $750,000 if he plays at the NHL and $105,000 if he is in the minors, the Blue Jackets announced. He was originally acquired from Phoenix, along with two draft picks (second round in 2012 and fifth round in 2013), in exchange for Antoine Vermette on Feb. 22, but he didn’t appear in any games after that because of injury. The 29-year-old, who has played in 69 career games with the Calgary Flames, Anaheim Ducks, Senators and Phoenix Coyotes, offers a third option in goal. The Blue Jackets have struggled with goaltending since making their lone playoff appearance in 2009. Steve Mason, the Calder Trophy winner that year who has floundered since, is still under contract. The club recently traded with Philadelphia to obtain Bobrovsky. Also under contract is Allen York, a former sixth-round pick who is just 23 and played well in spot duty last season. At the very least, the addition of McElhinney and Bobrovsky, along with Mason and York, will help fill a void of goalies throughout the organization. The Blue Jackets also signed left wing Jonathan AudyMarchessault to a standard three-year entry level contract. Audy-Marchessault played last year with Connecticut of the AHL and had 24 goals and 40 assists in 76 games. burgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen could wind up starting in Kemp’s place. “I’ve always been a person that wanted something because I earned it and that’s what people wanted,” McCutchen said. “It would be awesome to get that, but for me I’d still be feeling like I took someone else’s place because someone got hurt.” Dickey, at 37, made his first All-Star team. He leads the majors with 12 wins and could become just the second knuckleballer to start an All-Star game. Dutch Leonard did it in 1943, STATS LLC said. “It’s an honor for every person who’s ever helped me along the way and every fan that believed that special things could happen if you apply yourself,” Dickey said. “So it’s a need to be able to celebrate that with a network of people. Strasburg is 9-3 with a 2.81 ERA and tops the majors in strikeouts for the NL East-leading Nationals. Last season at this time, he was working his way back to the big leagues while recovering from Tommy John surgery. “It’s going to be a tremendous experience, and it’s a huge honor for me. It’s amazing to think where I was a year ago, so it’s great to see all the hard work has paid off, but it’s not done,” he said in Atlanta. “It’s only the halfway point of the year. We’ve still got a long ways to go.” The fans, players and managers combined to pick 14 first-time All-Stars in the NL, including somersaulting Cincinnati reliever Aroldis Chapman and San Diego closer Huston Street. “No way. Really?” Street said. There were nine firsttimers in the AL, including designated hitter Billy Butler from the host Royals. Every team gets at least one All-Star. The AL starters: Fielder, Cano, Jeter, Beltre, Hamilton, Granderson, Napoli, Toronto outfielder Jose Bautista and Boston DH David Ortiz. The NL starters: Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto, Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla, shortstop Rafael Furcal and outfielder Carlos Beltran of St. Louis, Kemp, Sandoval, Posey and Cabrera. The five candidates for the final AL roster spot are all right-handed pitchers: Texas rookie Yu Darvish and fellow starters Jake Peavy of the White Sox and Jason Hammel of Baltimore and relievers Jonathan Broxton of the Royals and Ernesto Frieri of the Angels. The NL candidates: Jones, Harper, Arizona second baseman Aaron Hill, Atlanta outfielder Michael Bourn and St. Louis third baseman David Freese, MVP of last year’s World Series. Washington said he felt White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski deserved to be on the roster. “I consider him a winning player,” Washington said. “He beats you mentally, he beats you physically, so I feel really bad for Pierzynski.” Said Pierzynski: “If he felt that bad, he would have put me on the team.” “He had an opportunity to do it. He didn’t do it,” he said. Jean Levac/Ottawa Citizen/Postmedia News/MCT photo Nick Foligno (71) of the Ottawa Senators in action against the Atlanta Thrashers during the first period of NHL action at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario, on Tuesday, November 9, 2010. MLB From Page 6 Wright was diplomatic about the result. “That’s the way the system is. I understand how the system works and I respect that system. Pablo’s having a very good year. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that I don’t get a chance to start, but I’m going to do everything I can to help win that game,” he said. Giants catcher Buster Posey, back from a devastating injury last season, was the NL’s top vote-getter and beat out Philadelphia’s Carlos Ruiz, the league’s leading hitter. Wright and Ruiz made the NL team as reserves. “This is hard to wrap my head around,” Posey said. “I watched all the All-Star games and home run derbies when I was a kid. It’s surreal I get to play in one and get to watch the home run derby.” Posey, Sandoval and San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera overcame late deficits to win starting spots. Giants ace Matt Cain, who pitched a perfect game in June, made the NL pitching staff. Texas will have a teamrecord three starters. Hamilton, who hit four homers in a game earlier this season and leads the majors in RBIs, will be in the outfield with Adrian Beltre at third base and Mike Napoli at catcher. A postseason star last year, Napoli has started only about half the time at that spot this year, but still easily outdistanced Minnesota’s Joe Mauer. “No, it’s not awkward, the fans voted for him,” Washington said. “He’s an AllStar, he’s going to go to the All-Star game. Who’s to say that Napoli may not be the MVP?” Second baseman Ian Kinsler, shortstop Elvis Andrus, starter Matt Harrison and reliever Joe Nathan also made the AL roster from Texas. The two-time AL champions began the day with a major league-best 50 wins. “You look up and down our lineup and we’ve been in the World Series the last two years in a row, and there’s a reason,” Hamilton said. “It’s not just one player, but multiple players that have got us there.” Derek Jeter became a 13time All-Star shortstop and will start for the AL with Yankees teammates Robinson Cano at second base and Curtis Granderson in the outfield. Injured New York pitcher CC Sabathia was picked, too, and will attend the festivities but not play. “It’s an honor, especially throughout the years the position I played and all the great shortstops that have been out there,” Jeter said. Prince Fielder of Detroit will start at first base. He was the MVP of last year’s All-Star game while playing in the NL for Milwaukee. “Thrilling, every time,” Fielder said. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp edged Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun by 100,000 votes for the third spot in the NL outfield — Kemp, beaten out by Braun for the NL MVP award last year, is on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring and looks doubtful to play. Braun leads the NL in home runs. He was the league’s top vote-getter last year, but may have been hurt by drug allegations.

I know we can do this.” Heading into this weekend’s Cup race at Daytona, Matt Kenseth is first in the standings, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Tony Stewart and Keselowski. While the Chase sublots were accumulating, Keselowski was adding to an extraordinary year. In three of his first seven starts, he finished near the bottom. He also had not cracked the top 10 in his four previous starts before coming to Kentucky. Keselowski conceded that his team had “reliability issues” early in the year. But he has had his Penske Dodge in contention in almost all the rest of the 17 races so far. With just nine races left before the Chase, the 28-year-old Michigan native is just confident enough to believe he can create even more havoc. “The only thing that means anything is who’s in the top 10 and who has the most wins when the Chase gets going,” he said. “That is the only thing that matters.” Crew chief Paul Wolfe pulled a Houdini move during Friday’s practice. Keselowski collided with Juan Pablo Montoya on the very first lap of warmups, wrecking his best car. Wolfe and his crew grabbed last year’s car and, in an hour’s time in 100-degree heat, transformed it into the vehicle that dominated the final 60 laps. “Any time people think we’re down and out, (we seem) to be able to get up to another level,” Wolfe said. While everybody else, it seems, is anxiously glancing at the remaining races and counting in their heads what they need to do to get into or remain in contention for the big money at the end of the season, the easy-going Keselowski continues to be oblivious to the pressure. “I’m looking forward,” he said. “Not looking back. If you’re worried about being 10th in points, then you’re looking back.” He’s not the only driver with designs on stealing the biggest prize. Earnhardt hadn’t won a race in 143 starts dating to 2008 before winning at Michigan two weeks ago. After placing fourth at Kentucky, he said he’s not so willing to wait for another trip to Victory Lane. “I ain’t going to be as patient this time,” he said, laughing. 60330260 From Page 6 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
