Susan Baker, village financial officer, noted that the current levy expires this year with money to be collected through 2013 but said now is the right time to begin the process of getting a levy on the ballot. She said it generates about $18,000 a year for fire department equipment. Approval was given to proceeding with the renewal levy by a vote of 5 to 1 with Councilman Roger Manley voting “no.” Baker will now get the tax certified so that it can go on the ballot and secure figures on the actual amount of money a renewal will generate. Councilman Craig Wehrung expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the firemen who recently completed painting all the fire hydrants. It was noted that they have been painted in colors denoting how many gallons of water per minute which can be pumped from each of the 119 hydrants in the village. Baker noted that at least 56 are blue which means they can provide 1500 to 3200 gallons per minute; green, 1000 to 1499; orange, 500 to 999, and red, only 7, less than 500 gallons a minute. As for activity during June, the report from Jeff Darst, fire chief, showed 19 calls being answered, with vehicles being driven a total of 593 miles, with site manhours of 202, followed by 33.5 manhours on maintenance of equipment. Of those calls one was a structure fire, one a rescue, one for a hazardous condition and 10 for mutual aid. A 2013 budget for village operational expenses due to be presented to the county auditor by July 20 was presented to Council by Baker. Once approval is given by the budget committee, a certificate certifying revenue and expenditures can then be used to set appropriations for 2013. The 2012 appropriations were $2,674,889. Mayor Michael Gerlach described the figures as set forth in the budget as a “blind shot.” The first reading on an ordinance pertaining to non-compliance to a stop order issued by the village See BALLOT |‌ 5 Pomeroy Council hears about cost saving plan Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Turtle Lady visits library 2012 State Harmonica Champion to be selected Sarah Hawley/photos Nancy Lockard, aka “The Turtle Lady,” made a return visit to the Meigs County Public Library on Thursday, bringing along several “friends.” The program, which is always one of the more popular of the Summer Reading Program, was split into two sessions to accommodate the anticipated large crowds. More than 160 people enjoyed learning about turtles, frogs, snakes and other creatures. Kids were then given the opportunity to touch the turtles and other animals. This is the eighth year for the “Turtle Lady” to visit Meigs County for the Summer Reading Program. The Summer Reading Program continues at 2 p.m., Wednesday (today) at the library in Pomeroy.

Taylor was recently charged in the Court of Common Pleas of Gallia County after being recently indicted by a grand jury on charges of murder, aggravated robbery and conspiracy. James C. Garrett, 21, Annista Drive, Point Pleasant, W.Va., pleaded not guilty to one count of murder, a special category felony; one count of aggravated robbery, a first degree felony; and one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. Garrett was taken into custody without incident after he turned himself in to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office on June 12, a day after the alleged incident that resulted in the death of POMEROY — Members of Pomeroy Village Council heard about a potential plan to save residents on their electric bills during Monday’s regular meeting. Kathy Teigland, of Palmer Energy Company, told council about an opt-out governmental aggregation program which would allow residents to save 18-20 percent (on average) on the generation portion of electric services. Palmer Energy serves as an energy programs consultant for the County Commissioners Association of Ohio Service Corporation. The program would be similar to that of the current gas program in the village, which was voted in by residents approximately four years ago through Volunteer Energy. The program would need voter support through a vote on the November ballot in order for the village to participate, according to Teigland. It must first be approved by council through a resolution. Members of council tabled a decision on the mater until the next council meeting. The ballot issue would have to be submitted to the board of elections by August 7 to appear on the November ballot.

(c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate presented more reasons why Eley should have been spared, he wouldn’t have voted in favor of a death sentence. Retired Youngstown police detective Joseph Fajack has also said he does not believe Eley should be executed, according to Eley’s written request for clemency to the parole board. It’s not unusual for judges or prosecutors to change their minds about individual cases or the death penalty itself, but the on-the-record testimony on behalf of a condemned inmate of the kind given by Van Brocklin is relatively rare. The three parole board members who supported Eley’s plea for mercy said he is not the “worst of the worst” killers, and argue that many similar convenience store robbers who committed more serious crimes escaped death sentences. They also said the crime wouldn’t have happened without Green. And they argued that Eley was a victim of a game by prosecutors as they threatened him with a death sentence to force his testimony against Green. “The prosecutors ‘played a bluff’ all the way to the end, and when Eley did not cooperate, they were stuck with the death penalty conviction,” the three dissenting members said. Green, 54, is in prison and scheduled for release in October on charges he illegally carried a concealed weapon, had a gun in a car and possession of drugs. But he also faces the possibility of additional time for violating parole on a prior aggravated robbery conviction, according to state prison records. Those charges are unrelated to the Eley case. In September, Kasich spared Joseph Murphy from execution for slashing a woman’s throat in a 1987 robbery, citing the prisoner’s horrific childhood and concerns about Murphy’s mental health. In June, Kasich spared Shawn Hawkins, saying he had no doubt the inmate was involved in a 1989 double killing but that the details of his participation were “frustratingly unclear.” �Wednesday, July 11, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Point fireworks rescheduled Mass. man to plead Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — Though the storms and power outages may have delayed the fireworks display for the City of Point Pleasant, it did not cancel it.

In Iowa, Obama to make pitch on tax cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney are clashing in a reinvigorated election-year debate over tax fairness, with both sides claiming their position is best for a struggling middle class. Romney challenged Obama’s call for a one-year extension of tax cuts limited to households earning less than $250,000, saying the U.S. needed to restore economic freedom for everyone. “To restore economic freedom we have to have taxes that are competitive with other nations,” Romney told radio host Michael Medved on Monday. Romney has pushed for an extension of all the cuts signed into law by President George W. Bush. The across-the-board cuts will expire at the end of the year unless Congress acts. A day after the president sought to elevate the tax debate as a key electionyear issue, Obama was to make his tax pitch in Iowa, the state that launched his presidential bid in 2008. He faces a tough contest there against Romney this fall. The White House and Obama’s campaign want to use the tax debate to portray congressional Republicans as obstructionists and Romney as a defender of the wealthy who is willing to push an across-theboard extension of the tax breaks at the expense of those earning more modest incomes. “Let’s not hold the vast majority of Americans and our entire economy hostage while we debate the merits of another tax cut for the wealthy,” Obama said Monday at the White House. Obama threatened to veto a full extension of the Bush tax cuts, saying in an interview with WWL-TV in New Orleans on Monday that a tax cut for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans would cost $1 trillion over the next decade at a time when the nation needs to reduce the federal deficit. On Tuesday, the Obama campaign reiterated calls for Romney to release more of his tax returns. In a video posted on YouTube, the campaign asks: “How long can Romney keep information on his investments in overseas tax havens secret? And why did he do it in the first place?” Emphasizing the consequences to families, Obama was meeting Tuesday with an Iowa couple that the White House said would benefit from his tax plan. He was then holding a campaign event at a Cedar Rapids community college where he planned to make the case for the extension for those earning $250,000 or less. Obama was making another visit to a battleground state with a more positive economic outlook than other parts of the nation. Iowa’s strong farm economy has pushed the state’s unemployment rate down to 5.1 percent, well below the national average of 8.2 percent. Obama took a bus tour through parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania last week — both states have more positive jobless rates than the rest of the nation — and was campaigning in Virginia on Friday and Saturday. Virginia’s unemployment rate is 5.5 percent. Yet polls in Iowa have shown Obama locked in a tight race with Romney for the state’s six electoral votes, a potential warning sign after Obama triumphed in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses in 2008 and then captured the state in the general election. Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe said Tuesday the Obama campaign wants to focus its appeal on battleground states “to educate voters about what the choice is” in 2012. Plouffe said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the Obama camp is concerned about the role of super PACs in bankrolling Romney’s challenge, charging that they want to “buy the White House” for the former Massachusetts gov- ernor. “Money matters in politics,” he said. Many voters have expressed wariness about Obama’s handling of the economy, his plans to reduce the federal debt and his ability to cure Washington gridlock. An NBC News/Marist poll in Iowa released in late May gave Romney a slight edge (46 percent to 41 percent) on who would best handle the economy — but when asked who would do a better job of reducing the national debt, voters gave Romney a solid advantage over Obama (52 percent to 34 percent). “The president’s got his work cut out for him here. It’s not one to be marked over into his column by any stretch of the imagination,” said Rob Tully, a former Iowa state party chairman. “But this state could easily go back into the president’s column if there’s commonsense decisions made between now and November.” Republicans were countering Obama on multiple fronts. Ahead of Obama’s visit, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican, called the president’s tax plan another attempt to “divide people one against another based on class warfare. The very people we need to invest and create jobs are afraid to because they’re afraid their taxes are going up.” Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, was shadowing Obama in Cedar Rapids with a news conference where he planned to accuse the president of wasting taxpayer money on stimulus programs that he said created jobs overseas. It aimed to rebut criticism from Democrats that Romney’s former private equity firm did business with companies that shifted jobs to lower-wage countries to cut costs. Romney was holding fundraisers in Colorado and planned to discuss energy policies on Tuesday in Grand Junction, Colo., Veteran House Dems gear up for competitive races WASHINGTON (AP) — For Rep. Lois Capps of California and other vulnerable House Democrats, a string of successful re-election bids and double-digit margins of victory may mean little this year. Her Santa Barbara-area district has been redrawn in the wake of the latest census, turning it from Democratic-leaning to one evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. Capps has responded by spending more time than ever raising money, hiring campaign staff and meeting voters. “It’s totally intensive, labor-intensive,” she says. And unheard of for a six-term congresswoman who routinely defeats her Republican opponents by 20 to 36 percentage points. At least seven other vet- eran House Democrats — in California, Iowa, Utah, Massachusetts, New York, Georgia and North Carolina — have become top GOP targets because of new district boundaries. The prospect of making Democratic veterans fight for their seats, if not lose them, offers House Republicans a chance to show some political muscle after a wrenching two-year term in which the factions of the GOP struggled to govern in the wake of recession. With the electorate still down on Congress and deeply concerned about the economy and joblessness, Republicans seeking to fortify their 51-seat House majority are rushing to frame the 2012 election as a referendum on President Barack Obama’s stewardship, as well as that of his Democratic allies. “Voters across the country have reached a breaking point. They know we can’t fix the problems in Washington unless we remove the career politicians who have been part of the problem for decades,” said Andrea Bozek, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Campaign Committee.

Rezwan Ferdaus, a Muslim-American from Ashland with a physics degree from Boston’s Northeastern University, was arrested in September after federal employees posing as al-Qaida members delivered materials he had allegedly requested, including grenades, machine guns and what he believed was 24 pounds of C-4 explosives. In the plea agreement, prosecutors and Ferdaus’ lawyers say Ferdaus will plead guilty to attempting to provide material support to terrorists and attempting to damage and destroy federal buildings by means of an explosive. Prosecutors and defense attorneys have agreed to request a 17-year sentence. Under the agreement, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss four other charges. Authorities said the public was never in danger from the explosives, which they said were always under the control of federal officials during the sting operation. Counter-terrorism experts and model-aircraft enthusiasts said it would be nearly impossible to inflict large-scale damage of the kind Ferdaus allegedly envisioned using model plane because the aircraft are too small, can’t carry enough explosives and are too difficult to fly. Authorities alleged that Ferdaus, 27, became convinced that America was evil. He allegedly contacted a federal informant and later began meeting to discuss the plot with undercover agents he believed were members of al-Qaida. He was charged with planning to use three remote-controlled airplanes, each packed with five pounds of explosives, to blow up the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. At one point, Ferdaus allegedly told undercover agents that his desire to attack the United States was so strong, “I just can’t stop. There is no other choice for me,” according to a recorded conversation detailed in an affidavit filed in court. Ferdaus’ lawyers have suggested that the FBI ignored signs of mental illness in Ferdaus while investigating him. During a bail hearing in November, an FBI agent acknowledged that the FBI had received reports about bizarre behavior by Ferdaus, including a report to Hopkinton police about one incident in which Ferdaus allegedly stood in the road not moving and appeared to have wet his pants. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion The Obamacare decision: A mixed bag Dr. John A. Sparks The case that received more media attention and more consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court than any in recent history has been decided. The 5-4 decision upheld the “individual mandate,” the central feature of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, i.e. “Obamacare.” Although the decision, crafted by Chief Justice John Roberts, contains much “bad news,” there is some “good news” for those who favor limited government. First, the good news: The court found that the individual mandate, that provision requiring Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty to the U.S. government, could not be found constitutional under the Commerce Clause. In this portion of his opinion, Roberts helps erect a constitutional barrier to a further expansion of the clause: “Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority …. People, for reasons of their own, often fail to do things that would be good for them or for society. Those failures—joined with the similar failures of others— can readily have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Under the Government’s logic, that authorizes Congress to use its commerce power to compel citizens to act as the Government would have them act. That is not the country the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.” This holding and analysis is extremely important for future cases where Congress tries to cavalierly invoke the Commerce Clause as authority for expanding federal power. As the dissenters acknowledge, this part of the opinion keeps the Commerce Clause from becoming a “font of unlimited power.” The bad news is that following his strong limitedgovernment opening, Roberts strained—or so it seemed—to find another basis upon which to uphold the individual mandate, thus saving Obamacare from having its linchpin pulled out. By doing so, he furthered an uncontrolled and ill-conceived effort to move Americans toward a European-style welfare state. What was his basis for upholding the individual mandate? In a flimsy and unconvincing argument, Roberts concluded that the individual mandate can be upheld under Congress’ power “to lay and collect taxes.” Here are Robert’s own words: “[T]he mandate is not a legal command to buy insurance. Rather, it makes going without insurance just another thing the Government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning income.” What’s wrong with this? First, the word “mandate” does mean “an authoritative command.” To say that it does not amount to a command is to deny the plain meaning of the word. Secondly, Justice Roberts’ attempt at an analogy is flawed. Persons who buy gasoline or earn income are engaged in an activity which the government is permitted to tax. Persons who do not purchase medical insurance are not engaged in an activity. So there is no analogy between buying gas and being taxed and not buying medical insurance and being taxed. Readers of Justice Roberts’ opinion must be surely scratching their heads here. Isn’t this the same justice who earlier, in the Commerce Clause portion of the opinion, pointed out that the government could not properly claim to regulate “inaction” by persons? Now, he contradicts himself by claiming that the government can tax “inaction.” There are other problems with calling the individual mandate a taxing provision. Foremost among them is that Congress itself framed the requirement to purchase insurance as a “mandate” enforced by a “penalty” and not as a “tax.” The distinction is a crucial one because Justice Roberts is attempting to argue that the individual mandate is a taxing provision, which Congress enacted under its taxing power. If, instead, the individual mandate provision is exactly what it claims to be—a requirement that persons purchase health insurance with a penalty attached—then the provision is not a tax.

But in this part of the decision he ignores the very language that Congress used to describe its action—mandate and penalty. In place of the words that Congress chose, he substitutes his own language. As the dissenters point out: “[T]o say that the Individual Mandate merely imposes a tax is not to interpret the statute but to rewrite it.” Furthermore, Justice Roberts seems to minimize the coercive power inherent in “taxing” Americans who decide not to purchase health insurance. He says: “If a tax is properly paid, the Government has no power to compel or punish individuals subject to it.” The point is that whether a “tax” or “penalty,” the exaction is a heavy burden on low- and middle-income Americans for a product that they may or may not want to “purchase.” The Congressional Budget Office projects that by 2017, tax or penalty revenues likely to be collected will total $4 billion annually. Also, the Court points out that by 2016 individuals making as little as $35,000 per year could be paying the government $60 per month under the law’s dictate. In summary, Justice Roberts started out well by limiting the power of the federal government under the Commerce Clause. However, he finished poorly when he engaged in verbal contortions to save the hastily drawn healthcare legislation. In the process, however unwittingly, he preserved this blatant legislative attempt to extend the power of the federal behemoth into the private medical decisions of ordinary Americans. Dr. John A.

Page 4 Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Conservatives make it rough for business Donna Cassata Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservative Republicans have roughed up the business community this year — and it’s not over yet. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and major companies like Boeing Co. and Caterpillar Inc. all wanted quick reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance American companies’ overseas sales. Congress had reaffirmed the independent federal agency some two dozen times since its creation in 1934. But this year it took months of pleas, briefings and negotiations to overcome conservative opposition. Similarly, industries ranging from asphalt to steel pressed for the popular transportation bill to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure. Conservatives wanted to give authority to the states. Nine short-term extensions later — and almost three years after the last transportation bill expired — businesses finally prevailed last month. The business community is now pressing the Senate to ratify a treaty governing the high seas, arguing that it would open a new path to oil, gas and other resources and produce thousands of jobs. Prospects are uncertain as conservatives stand united in opposition. They condemn the pact as a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Perhaps the most telling clue is that proponents call it the Law of the Sea Convention — shorthand LOSC — while opponents refer to it as the Law of the Sea Treaty — LOST. Republicans like to tout themselves as the best friends of business, and the rhetoric only grows louder in an election year. They talk forcefully about their job-creation agenda and determination to undo the burdensome regulations they say arise out of President Barack Obama’s policies. Yet when it comes to many of industry’s top legislative priorities, conservative Republican lawmakers and likeminded groups including the Club for Growth and Heritage Action have thrown up road- 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.

They and their ideological leaders argue that the marketplace should dictate what businesses thrive and falter, not Washington. “What we find now is this cronyism and this corporate welfare, it’s corrupting the politics because there’s nothing now that goes through that doesn’t have a corporate interest,” Republican Sen. Jim DeMint told The Associated Press in an interview. “It’s not just the Ex-Im Bank. It’s the transportation bill that has huge entities involved. The farm bill basically guarantees large corporate farmers.” The South Carolina lawmaker warned that the combination of big government and big industry is creating a nation that is becoming “too big to succeed.” Democrats also are giving the business community fits beyond the normal ferment over workplace and union issues. Industry and corporations are pushing for Congress to approve permanent normal trade relations with Russia this month, now that Moscow is slated to join the World Trade Organization. Normal trade ties would open Russian markets to more U.S. goods and investments. Russia has the ninth largest economy in the world, but its imports from the U.S. were a paltry $11 billion in 2011. Democrats, led by Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, want to impose tough sanctions on Russian human rights violators, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., has signaled he will link the human rights legislation to any bill normalizing trade relations. Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge that business prospects in Congress could become even more difficult next year if the November elections, as expected, increase the ranks of conservatives in the DeMint mold — especially in the Senate. Consider the fight over the Export-Import Bank. In February, the Chamber and other industry representatives provided 200 House members with fact sheets aimed at debunking claims that the Ex-Im bank is a “vehicle for corporate welfare.” The Chamber, which represents 3 million businesses and organizations, pointed out that since 2005, the Export-Import bank has generated more than $3.4 billion in revenues for the Treasury above costs and loss reserves, including $700 million in fiscal 2011. The issue hit home in South Carolina, where Boeing said eight of the 10 aircraft made in the state would be purchased by overseas companies thanks to credits provided by the ExIm bank. Unmoved, DeMint and other conservatives argued against the agency and its existence. “When Washington picks winners and losers, in the end taxpayers always lose, and ExIm is no exception,” DeMint wrote in an editorial May 5 in the Greenville News. He described himself as a “South Carolinian, an American and a guy who likes cool planes,” and added, “I love Boeing.” Days later, the House passed reauthorization of the self-financing agency for three years and raised its lending cap from the current $100 billion to $140 billion. After the Club for Growth, which rates politicians on their adherence to its conservative agenda, said it would score a vote in favor of the bank as against that agenda, 93 House Republicans opposed the bill. Chris Chocola, president of the Club for Growth, said though it lost on the ExportImport Bank, the prolonged debate was a positive development. “The world has changed,” Chocola said in an interview. “People understand that the size and scope of government is not just entitlements. It’s also transportation bills. It’s also programs like Ex-Im bank. It’s corporate welfare as well. And things that have automatically been reauthorized are being questioned as to whether that’s really good policy and whether we can afford it.” 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.

Stephenson www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Arafat’s widow wants French probe into his death PARIS (AP) — The widow of Yasser Arafat will file a legal complaint in France asking authorities to investigate her husband’s death, about which she has recently raised new suspicions, her lawyer said Tuesday. Palestinian authorities gave final approval this week for the former Palestinian leader’s body to be exhumed and asked for an international investigation into his 2004 death in a French military hospital. That came on the heels of a broadcast last week by Arab satellite TV channel Al-Jazeera, which said it had conducted a nine-month investigation into the leader’s death after his widow, Suha, handed over Arafat’s medical file and what she said was a duffel bag of his belongings. Included in the bag were a fur hat and a woolen cap with some of his hair, a toothbrush, and clothing with his urine and blood stains. Switzerland’s Institute of Radiation Physics detected elevated traces of polonium-210 — a rare and highly lethal substance — on the belongings, but said the findings were inconclusive and that Arafat’s bones would have to be tested. That prompted a request to have his remains exhumed; Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas decided to go ahead with that earlier this week. Still, testing the bones may not provide a clear answer. Polonium-210 decays rapidly, and experts have been divided over whether Arafat’s remains would provide a solid clue eight years after his death. If Suha Arafat’s complaint is accepted, it will give French authorities the ability to investigate her husband’s death. Lawyer Pierre-Olivier Sur said Tuesday that Arafat’s widow hopes an investigation will “establish the exact circumstances of her husband’s death and establish the truth in order that justice is served.” French doctors have said Arafat died of a massive stroke and had suffered from a blood condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC. But the records were inconclusive about what brought about the DIC, which has numerous possible causes, including infections and liver disease.

Cost Murder Champ Ballot House �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2012 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Baseball cards in Ohio attic might fetch millions DEFIANCE, Ohio (AP) — Karl Kissner picked up a soot-covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather’s attic. Taking a look inside, he saw baseball cards bundled with twine. They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing. But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner. Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic. It wasn’t until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of the biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting, a discovery probably worth millions. The cards are from an extremely rare series issued around 1910. The few known to exist are in so-so condition at best, with faded images and worn edges. But the ones from the attic in the Ohio town of Defiance are nearly pristine, untouched for more than a century. The colors are vibrant, the borders crisp and white. “It’s like finding the Mona Lisa in the attic” Kissner said. Sports card experts who authenticated the find say they may never see something this impressive again. “Every future find will ultimately be compared to this,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator. The best of the bunch — 37 cards — are expected to bring a total of $500,000 when they are sold at auction in August during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore. There are about 700 cards in all that could be worth up to $3 million, experts say. They include such legends as Christy Mathewson and Connie Mack. Kissner and his fam- ily say the cards belonged to their grandfather, Carl Hench, who died in the 1940s. Hench ran a meat market in Defiance, and the family suspects he got them as a promotional item from a candy company that distributed them with caramels. They think he gave some away and kept others. “We guess he stuck them in the attic and forgot about them,” Kissner said. “They remained there frozen in time.” After Hench and his wife died, two of his daughters lived in the house. Jean Hench kept the house until she died last October, leaving everything inside to her 20 nieces and nephews. Kissner, 51, is the youngest and was put in charge of the estate. His aunt was a pack rat, and the house was filled with three generations of stuff. They found calendars from the meat market, turnSee CARDS ‌| 9 Fielder wins Home Run Derby for second time KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Prince Fielder made a splash at the All-Star Home Run Derby. Eight of them. The Detroit slugger joined Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players to win multiple titles, thrilling the crowd at Kauffman Stadium with several shots into the right-field fountain and beating Toronto’s Jose Bautista 12-7 in the final Monday night. “Just being mentioned with him is real special,” said Fielder, who spent time at Griffey’s house when he was a kid. “My dad would let me go over and play video games all day. He always took care of me when I was a kid.” On a night when the Yankees’ Robinson Cano was repeatedly booed and went homerless, Fielder put on the most powerful display among baseball’s big boppers. Winner at St. Louis’ Busch Stadium three years ago, Fielder had a total of 28 home runs over three rounds to cap the main event on the eve of the AllStar game. He hit the four longest drives of the night, including a pair at 476 feet. “They were far,” he said. “That’s not easy to hit it out there.” While the ball stayed out of McCovey Cove during the 2007 Derby at San Francisco’s AT&T Park and the right-field swimming pool last year at Chase Field in Phoenix, there was plenty of aquatic activity in Kansas City, second only to Rome for most fountains in cities around the world. After three splash shots among his five homers in the first round, Fielder started off the second round as the setting sun lit up clouds in a pretty pink behind the left-field wall. His mop of dreadlocks visible as he hit without a helmet, Fielder deposited four more See DERBY ‌| 9 Davie Hinshaw/Charlotte Observer/MCT photo Ryan Newman is all smiles after capturing the pole for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina, during practice on Thursday, May 27, 2010.

(AP) — The U.S. Army will not return to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, effectively ending its sponsorship in NASCAR altogether after a decade. SHR said Tuesday it is pursuing a new sponsor. “The U.S. Army has been a great partner of Stewart-Haas Racing since the team’s inception,” said Brett Frood, executive vice president of SHR. “It has been a mutually beneficial relationship, with the U.S. Army introducing training regimens that improved our pit crews while instilling the mental, physical and emotional strength of the U.S. Army Soldier in all of us.” The Army has been in NASCAR for 10 seasons, and at one point was a primary sponsor. It moved to SHR to sponsor Ryan Newman in 2009 when the team was formed. “The sport, our drivers and the passionate NASCAR fans em- Eastern Jr High Football Camp TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern junior high football team will be holding camp on July 16-19 at 6 p.m. Staff Report and July 23-25 at 6 p.m. Hel- mdrsports@mydailyregister.com met fitting will take place on MASON, W.Va. — A half-dozen July 17th at 5 p.m. For additional information please call hole-in-ones have been fired at River(740) 667-6035. side Golf Club over the last month, bringing the seasonal total to 15 for Wahama Hall of Fame the 2012 campaign.

The decision to leave NASCAR comes as Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota and Rep. Jackson Kingston of Georgia are pushing an amendment that would prohibit military sponsorship of sports. McCollum lost a House vote a year ago to end military sponsorships of NASCAR, professional wrestling and fishing, but is trying again to have the approximately $80 million in sponsorship cut from the defense budget. McCollum applauded the Army’s decision to pull out of NASCAR. “The Army made the right move to eliminate a wasteful program and protect taxpayer dollars - which has been my goal all along,” she said. “Congress is facing a very difficult budget environment, and I want taxpayer dollars protected, even at the Pentagon. “I will continue to work to save taxpayer dollars by ending all of the Pentagon’s multi-million dollar professional sports sponsorships of motor racing, bass fishing and ultimate fighting.” It’s not clear how the Army’s decision will effect SHR, which currently fields two full-time teams — one for three-time NASCAR champion and team co-owner Tony Stewart, and one for Newman. The plan was to expand to three teams next season with Danica Patrick, who is running 10 Sprint Cup Series races this year for SHR. Although Stewart has said he wants to bring Newman back next year, the driver is in the final year of his contract and the sponsorship loss will likely slow contract extension talks. Six more aces recorded at Riverside ace of the season after using a 7-iron on the 155-yard 12th hole. Bruni, a helicopter pilot with the West Virginia State Troopers, had his ace witnessed by Colonel Howard Hill during the annual West Virginia State Troopers Tournament. The 12th hole-in-one of the season was recorded by Buck Loomis during the Kyger Creek Power Company Golf League. Loomis picked up his third career ace by using a 9-iron in the 120-yard ninth hole. Loomis, a Point Pleasant native, had his ace witnessed by Tyler Lucas, Chris O’Dell and David McCade. Smokey See of Point Pleasant notched the 13th hole-in-one of the season during the annual Big Black Stadium Club Boosters Tournament. See notched his first-ever ace using a pitching wedge on the 115-yard 14th hole, and the shot was witnessed by Robbie Chase and Bryan Stepp. Jim Lawrence of Syracuse landed ace No. 14 at Riverside after using a 7-iron on the 124-yard fourth hole. It was the first-ever ace for Lawrence, and the shot was witnessed by Bill Winebrenner, Mick Winebrenner and Bill Arnott. The most recent hole-in-one came on July 8, as Rob Grimm of Point Pleasant aced the 125-yard ninth hole by using a pitching wedge. Grimm’s ace was the first for his career and occurred during the Kyger Creek Employees Picnic and Golf Scramble. Sean Hughes, B.J. Higginbotham and Corey Miller were all witnesses to the 15th hole-in-one of the year. �Wednesday, July 11, 2012 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 SERVICE / BUSINESS Marcum Construction and General Contracting Mike W.

In 1980, I missed the game with a pulled muscle. And in 1989, I was voted to the team as a starter after I had retired. In each case the replacement was a player deserving and capable of carrying out the assignment in my place. His firsthalf body of work that season was rewarded. Back then, the fans picked the game’s starters. That’s all, the starters. The managers picked the remainder of the roster so that as the game progressed into the deciding innings, each league would have its best on the field. Every year, the fan voting is skewed to elect players based on popularity, not on production. That’s OK because the game has been labeled “for the fans.” This game for the fans, however, now carries a significant prize: World Series home field, which is why the field personnel must decide on the final roster. The All-Star game has become the black sheep event of Bud Selig’s tenure as baseball commissioner. Try as he might, he can’t get it to where it once was. Back in the day, it was a game each league wanted to win. Willie Mays was picked for 24 All-Star games and played nine innings in many. Steven M. Falk/Philadelphia Daily News/MCT photo Former Philadelphia Phillies third baseman and Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt throws to first base during spring training at the Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Florida, Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Schmidt was at camp to help instruct infielders. When I started my run in the ’70s, reporting to the game meant joining Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Joe Torre, Lou Brock, Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, Tony Perez, and others who demanded we play to win. Get this: Winning didn’t mean anything other than league pride. Mr. Selig is still hunting for the answer as to why the All-Star game these days has gotten away from that attitude. Maybe his game has given way in importance to other All-Star events, like the Home Run Derby? Maybe his player voting and selection system has created confusion. By placing the World Series homefield advantage on the game’s outcome — while at the same time allowing fan voting to play the major role in roster selection — he confuses not only baseball fans, but me, too. Maybe the players themselves just aren’t of the mind to accept the game as serious. Understandable, as their entire existence as athletes is an open book to the media and TV already, why would they consider another three days of national TV exposure an exciting opportunity? words were “Oh, my God.” “I was in complete awe,” he said. “You just don’t see them this nice.” The cards are from what is known as the E98 series. It is not clear who manufactured them or how many were produced, but the series consists of 30 players, half of them Hall of Famers. The experts at Heritage Auctions checked out the family’s background, the age of the home and the history of the meat market. They looked at the cards and how they were printed. “Everything lines up,” said Chris Ivy, the company’s director of sports auctions. They then sent all the cards to Professional Sports Authenticator, which had previously authenticated fewer than 700 E98s. The Ohio cards were the finest examples from the E98 series the company had ever seen. The company grades cards on a 1-to-10 scale based of their condition. Up to now, the highest grade it had ever given a Ty Cobb card from the E98 series was a 7. Sixteen Cobbs found in the Ohio attic were graded a 9 — almost perfect. A Honus Wagner was judged a 10, a first for the series. Retired vintage sports card auctioneer Barry Sloate of New York City said: “This is probably the most interesting find I’ve heard of.” In a measure of what baseball cards can be worth, the owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks paid a record $2.8 million for a rare 1909 Honus Wagner. Another version of the card brought $1.2 million in April. Heritage Auctions plans to sell most of the cards over the next two of three years through auctions and private sales so that it doesn’t flood the market. In all, they could bring $2 or $3 million, Ivy said. The Hench family is evenly dividing the cards and the money among the 20 cousins named in their aunt’s will. All but a few have decided to sell their lot. “These cards need to be with those people who appreciate and enjoy them,” Kissner said.

On Feb. 29, Kissner’s cousin Karla Hench pulled out the dirty green box with metal clips at the corners and lifted the lid. Not knowing whether the cards were valuable, the two cousins put the box aside. But Kissner decided to do a little research. The cards were at his office in the restaurant he owns when he realized they might have something. He immediately took them across the street and put them in a bank vault. Still not knowing whether the cards were real, they sent eight to expert Peter Calderon at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, which recently sold the baseball that rolled through the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series for $418,000.

He added another water drive in the final round, then leaned against one of his sons while he watched Bautista swing. “I’m a little disappointed,” Bautista said. “I’m capable of doing more. I had a lot of fun doing it.” When he won three years ago in St. Louis, Fielder’s 23 homers included a 503-foot drive that disappeared between two sections of bleachers in right-center. Griffey won titles in 1994 at Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium, 1998 at Denver’s Coors Field and 1999 at Boston’s Fenway Park. Miscellaneous Cano set a final-round record of 12 en route to last year’s title in Phoenix, where he hit 32 overall. This year he was the object of loud booing throughout by fans upset he didn’t select the Royals’ Billy Butler after promising to take a hometown player for his derby team. Fans chanted “Bil-ly Butler!” in between their boos. When it was over, Cano got hugs from Boston’s David Ortiz and Yankees teammates Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia. “I was criticized before I got here. If you play for the Yankees you get booed everywhere you go,” Cano said. It was the 17th time a player went homerless in the Derby, the first since Detroit’s Brandon Inge in 2009. “that was the most interesting reaction to a home rum derby i’ve ever seen, but the fans were excited which is all that counts,” Granderson tweeted. Carlos Gonzalez and Andrew McCutchen (four each) and Matt Kemp (one) also were dropped after the first round. Carlos Beltran (12) was dropped after the second round, when Mark Trumbo and Bautista were tied with 13 apiece, leading to a swingoff won by Bautista 2-1. Trumbo and Bautista each managed to put a drive into the small fountain beyond the left-field wall. Trumbo also hit a pair of shots over the Royals Hall of Fame in left, toward Interstate 70. �Wednesday, July 11, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Wednesday, July 11, 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 10 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, July 11, 2012: You are often so determined to achieve a goal that you push yourself to the point of exhaustion. As a result, sometimes your best ideas go up in flames. Learn to pace yourself, and many dreams could become realities. You will expand your circle of friends and even more possibilities. If you are single, you could meet someone intense and appealing. Be careful; this person could be emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you can achieve one of your life desires if you remain focused. TAURUS points the way. 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 Move forward with a project early on in the morning. You could find that others are very serious, especially a key person in your life. You might be more upset than you realize and need to have a heart-to-heart talk. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Treat someone to his or her favorite dessert. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH As bad as you can be, you also are capable of being just as good. Keep reaching out for someone who might need your time. By late afternoon, others will not be able to resist you to the same level. Tonight: Beam in what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Take a hint from Aries, and make your morning and midday count. You will want to retreat to your private world as day becomes night. You could do research and catch up on emails, but the reality is that you very much want to maintain a low profile. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your natural beat is righton. You start out on top of your game, ready to deal with others. Your confidence carries you far — so much so that you have reason to celebrate. A meeting could be very important. Enjoy the social ramifications. Tonight: Where the maddening crowds are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Explore alternatives for as long as you need to. You might want to do some research until you are confident about your choice. Do not close off this process until you are sure of yourself. Others tend to look to you for leadership. Tonight: A must statement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You are smart to relate directly to one individual at a time. You’ll see the difference it makes. You might feel short on confidence, funds or talent. Don’t worry — this phase will be ending in the next few months. Tonight: Let your imagination take the lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH It’s all about others right now. You can barely have a complete conversation without a knock on the door, a phone call or some other type of interruption. You could feel down that you cannot accomplish everything you want to. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Clear out as much as you can before you decide to socialize or even have an extended conversation. Once you decide to change venues, you might find it difficult to return to your starting point. Make sure you are ready to move on before you do. Tonight: Out and about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You cannot contain your creativity, but you can choose not to share all your ideas all the time. Someone seems to close down whenever this type of discussion emerges. Let go, and relax with the moment. Tonight: Run errands and go to the gym. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Getting going could be a bit challenging. Why not put your feet up and relax? You cannot keep pushing yourself so hard, which is why there is an issue right now. Make fun plans later today where you can recycle your energy. Tonight: Let the fun begin. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You choose the right words, even if you might not get the reaction you would like. There are some situations you cannot change, and you certainly cannot change someone else’s reaction. Let go of an implicit demand. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Handle a money situation as quickly as possible before it handles you. You might want to speak to someone in the know. You express yourself directly and with clarity. Others will get the gist of your thoughts. Tonight: Hang out with friends.
