Dillon, 80 50 cents daily THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 119 Emergency water conservation, boil advisory issued Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com MEIGS COUNTY — The Tuppers Plains Chester Water District has issued an emergency water use ban for customers in Salisbury, Chester, Sutton, Letart and Lebanon townships in Meigs County, according to a news release by General Manager Donald Poole. There are three levels of water conservation, with this being categorized as Phase III. A Phase III mandatory water use ban is the curtailment of all water use except needed for human consumption, maintenance of pets and livestock, health care protection and for sanitation purposes. A Phase I ban is voluntary, Phase II is a mandatory water ban for specific uses and a Phase III ban is the most stringent of all water use bans. All areas are also in a boil advisory. When a boil advisory is in effect, customers are asked to boil their cooking and drinking water for three minutes before consumption. The reason for the conservation is due to an early morning equipment failure at one of the County Road 28 (Bashan Road) pump stations, which was compounded by an eight-inch water main leak in Chester that happened just before noon Wednesday. The pump station on Bashan is temporarily shut down along with other pump stations from Bashan to East Letart. The shut down should keep areas from losing water during the problem. Each pump station is equipped with multiple pumps, making a problem like this is high unlikely. One motor at the pump station on Bashan was out for repair when the second motor failed early Wednesday morning. A new motor is being brought, in and plans were to have it installed late Wednesday evening. Poole stated that the problem is not related to last week’s power outages in the region. He added that the Tuppers Plains Chester Water District did very well through the outages, with generators running as needed. Residents south of Lyons Den Road, Bissell Road or Bashan on County Road 28 are affected by the ban and boil advisory. “We have equipment coming from out of state to complete repairs, we have smaller equipment trying to do the work that larger equipment does, but at this time it is not keeping up,” the statement added. “All higher elevations will experience low pressure first. Your elevation will determine your water loss time if the existing equipment will not handle the demand.” Equipment was estimated to arrive late Wednesday with installation following. According to Poole, it will take a minimum of 24 hours of pump time to catch up. The water ban will hopefully be lifted by the weekend, if all goes well, according to the release.

Fairgrounds hill stage damaged Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — The schedule of entertainment at the Meigs County Fair for the hill stage may have to be adjusted next month due to extensive stage damage caused during the recent storm. A large part of the huge tree which stood just a few feet away from the stage was uprooted and landed top down onto the roof of the stage causing sections of the roof to fall and splitting some of the supporting beams. Whether the roof can be replaced and other damage repaired before fair time is yet to be determined by the Meigs County Fair Board. Members viewing the damage at this week’s meeting decided to have the tree lifted off before making any decision. According to Debbie Watson, the Board’s secretary, if the stage is secure for performers, the entertainment might go on “under a roof covered with a tarp.” If the stage can’t be salvaged, then consideration will be given to constructing a new one, perhaps in a different location.

POMEROY — Plans for the Pomeroy Merchants Association’s primary fund raiser, the Sept. 16 duck derby at Riverfest, were discussed at the group’s Tuesday meeting. It was noted that the tickets will be going on sale for $5 each with the grand prize to be a 50/50 drawing. In addition to the grand prize, other items contributed by merchants will be awarded. All of the tickets are numbered to correspond with the numbers on the ducks which will go into the river just below Powells and are retrieved as they cross an imaginary line in the river at the end of the parking lot wall. Arrangements are being made for the derby to take place at 4:30 p.m. this year. Tickets will be available from various merchants and also for sale during the annual three-day Riverfest, Sept. 14-16. President Dan Short reported on the signage to be used on the parking lot near the meters which offer two hours of free time to anyone coming to town to shop. It was also noted that customers who get parking tickets can have them validated if they turn the ticket into the store owner who, in turn, handles the matter with Chief of Police Mark Proffitt. Ways to promote business in town were discussed and several proposals were made including a mall display and television advertising. Kathy Reed was welcomed to the meeting as a representative of The Fabric Shop which has been purchased from Becky Nease by Reed, Cathy Cooper and Karen Walker. A final sale of the ornamental bulbs featuring the new bridge and the courthouse was discussed with the price being reduced to $5 each. Proceeds from the sale of the bulbs over the past 15 years has gone for the beautification of downtown Pomeroy. The bulbs are available in several locations including The Ohio Valley Bank at Save-a-Lot, Peoples Bank, and The Daily Sentinel.

Member SIPC. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Part of a freight train carrying ethanol derailed and caught fire in Ohio’s capital city early Wednesday, shooting flames skyward into the darkness and prompting the evacuation of a mile-wide area as firefighters and hazardous materials crews monitored the blaze. Norfolk Southern Corp. said it appeared about 11 cars of a southbound train derailed around 2 a.m. near Interstate 71, southeast of the Ohio State University campus. The train, traveling from Chicago to Linwood, N.C., went off the tracks north of downtown, in an industrial area blocks from residential neighborhoods. Joel Priester said he watched the blast from his home two blocks away. “I saw flames, then I heard a loud sound, like a boom, and saw the flames shooting higher,” he said. “It looked like the sun exploded.” Three of the burning cars were tankers carrying ethanol, said Assistant Chief David Whiting of the Columbus fire division. After viewing the scene in daylight, authorities decided to let the fire burn out instead of trying to extinguish it. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the derailment, which blocked access to about half of the Central Ohio Transit Authority’s fleet of vehicles, limiting the city’s public bus service. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending an investigator to the scene. Two people who ran toward the scene before the explosion were injured but were able to take themselves to a hospital, fire Battalion Chief Michael Fowler said. None of the three personnel onboard the train was hurt, Norfolk Southern spokesman Dave Pidgeon said. He said he couldn’t comment on the crew’s safety record but said the company has been recognized in the industry for its overall safety record. Photographer Chris Mumma said he was more than 10 miles away in New Albany when he saw the night sky brightened by a “huge illumination” that he later learned was an explosion. He said he went to the scene to take photos and saw punctures on top of the train that were spewing flames 20 to 30 feet high. He also noticed an odd odor. “I noticed there was a chemical smell, and I was inhaling it so I backed up a little bit more because I wasn’t sure what I was getting involved with,” he said. Mumma said it made him so nauseous that he ended up at the hospital. About 50 evacuees went to an American Red Cross aid site set up at the state fairgrounds. Among them was Linda Ogletree, who lives a block from the accident site. “I was in the house and heard the explosion, then I ran outside to see where it was coming from. The whole outside was lit up,” she said. She said she walked to the end of the street with other people but took off running when an explosion occurred. Norfolk Southern said trains blocked by the crash would be rerouted to other tracks in Columbus. Ask Dr. Brothers Creative girl feels like misfit Dear Dr. Brothers: We recently moved across the country to a rural environment after living in a big city in the Midwest. My daughter is very creative in drama and painting, and had a nice group of other like-minded kids she hung around with. I just assumed she’d be popular in the high school here and quickly adjust, because she’s very outgoing. But after six months, she clearly is not happy, and says a kid on the bus even called her a weirdo. I am starting to panic. What can we do? — K.B. Dear K.B.: If your daughter was willing to look at the move as a new adventure and thought she’d find a new group of friends, that is half the battle. Her attitude is very important, and it’s crucial that you not show her that you are in a state of panic. If you see her becoming sad or depressed, you will have to spend some extra time brainstorming and doing research on ways she can find new friends and get back to her sunny, outgoing self.

You and your husband might have to go to a little more effort to keep her in line, especially if she is testing her limits. If she’s just used to being scolded and grounded for a few days, she may never have had to really develop any self-control or commitment to being responsible for her own behavior — you were always there as enforcers. Even though it is a little late in the game to start changing your parenting style, it might be better late than never. Next time she ignores a curfew or causes you to worry about her grades or whatever you usually punish her for, hold a family meeting with your daughter and consider not doling out the usual grounding. Try to engage your daughter in a dialogue about the effect her behavior has on you, and ask her to show you that she can behave more responsibly. If she succeeds, reward her with praise. Make sure you set expectations that she can live up to, and if she fails again, have more meetings until she gets it. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate W.Va. man accused of enslaving, torturing wife MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Authorities say a West Virginia man tortured and enslaved his wife for much of the past decade, forcing her to endure two pregnancies and deliveries in shackles. The criminal complaint against Peter Lizon, 37, says one of those babies was stillborn and buried on the family farm in Leroy. The other survived but apparently has never had any medical care. Lizon was in jail Wednes- BUNDLE & SAVE! ON DIGITAL SERVICES FOR YOUR HOME day on $300,000 bond. He was scheduled for a preliminary hearing on a malicious wounding charge Friday morning in Jackson County Magistrate Court. Chief Deputy Tony Boggs said 43-year-old Stephanie Lizon endured more suffering than virtually any domestic violence victim he’s seen. “This appears to go beyond abuse to what I would consider torture,” he said. “Her injuries are much more than just getting pushed up against the wall. She’s been abused almost to the point of slavery and torture.” The complaint says the wife was burned on her back and breasts with irons and frying pans, and had her foot smashed with a piece of farm equipment, among other things. Shawn Bayliss, Peter Lizon’s attorney, said the allegations made by an acquaintance of Stephanie Lizon are “the fabrication of a fertile imagination or a feeble mind, one of the two.” “The wife had a conversation with someone, and that person has taken that story and turned it into something completely different,” he said. “Stephanie would say this story is absolutely untrue, and the charges levied against her husband are blatantly false.” He compared it to the childhood game of “telephone,” where something whispered from one person to another ultimately bears no resemblance to reality. “This is a situation where a person has taken a nugget of information, taken an acorn and tried to turn it into a tree,” he said. “And the tree won’t support this story.” The details of the wife’s alleged abuse came out after she fled from her husband July 2 and took refuge at a Family Crisis Intervention Center in Parkersburg. Her husband had taken her to a rental store to return a rototiller. The wife fled to a Zumba dance center nearby, hiding until shelter workers could get her. At the shelter, she told another woman about the abuse she’d suffered at the hands of her husband, a native of the Czech Republic.

LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — A judge has denied a motion seeking a new trial for a man convicted of killing his estranged wife, who was found strangled in a southeast Ohio septic tank last year. Hocking County Judge John Wallace issued the ruling Wednesday in the case of William Inman II. Inman was convicted last month of aggravated murder and other charges in 25-year-old Summer Inman’s death and sentenced to life without parole. The defense claimed a witness’ criminal background was not disclosed before he testified against Inman. Inman’s attorneys said the new information tarnished the witness’ credibility. The judge said the evidence against Inman was overwhelming and there was no indication the verdict would have been different even if jurors had disregarded the witness’ testimony. Inman’s attorneys did not immediately return calls Wednesday. Ohio court hears challenge to tax on gasoline COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio is unconstitutionally diverting $140 million annually from gasoline sales to non-roadwork accounts for schools and cities through the misapplication of the state’s updated business tax, according to a coalition of builders, contractors, construction companies and engineers. The groups argue in a lawsuit that reached the Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday that the state constitution bars money raised from the sale of fuel from being used on anything but highway upkeep. The groups also argue that voters have repeatedly rejected the notion of diverting taxes raised from fuel sales to non-road work. “The diversion of any of these excise taxes undermines the will of the people to preserve the Motor-Vehicle-Fuel-related excise tax base for public road repair and construction,” Anthony Ehler, an attorney representing both construction companies and county engineers whose budgets rely on fuel taxes, said in a March 20 court filing. The court heard arguments from both sides Wednesday and is expected to rule this fall. At issue is a 2005 rewrite of Ohio’s tax code that taxes a wide variety of business activity, not just a company’s revenue. Lawmakers approved the tax as an alternative to the state’s former business tax, which was criticized as having high rates but numerous loopholes — it was sometimes dubbed a “Swiss cheese” approach — that reduced its ability to raise revenue. The new tax is low — 0.26 percent — but is applied to as many businesses as possible with fewer exemptions. The debate doesn’t involve the 28-cent state gasoline tax whose revenues are distributed automatically to the state, counties and local governments for road work. The state argues that the tax — called the Commercial Activities Tax, or CAT — is not on gasoline itself but on companies that make money selling fuel. It also said opponents of the tax are disguising their objections to paying it “as a crusade to save highway spending.” “The CAT relates to doing business, and it does not ‘relate to’ motor fuels any more than it relates to selling food, widgets, or anything else,” Stephen Carney, an assistant Ohio attorney general, said in a May 9 filing with the court. The court’s previous ruling on a related issue could signal its approach this time. In 2009, the court ruled the state could continue to collect the same tax when it’s applied to grocery store food sales. In a 6-1 decision, the court upheld the collection of the CAT on food sold by grocery stores and others for off-site consumption. The Ohio Grocers Association had argued that applying the tax to food sales violated the state constitution, which prohibits sales tax on the sale of food that’s taken off store premises to eat.

All five voted against the law’s passage in 2010. Boren, Ross and McIntyre voted to repeal the law in January 2011, while Matheson and Kissel voted then to keep it in place. Boehner said Republicans wanted to give Democrats who had previously voted to sustain the law a chance to reconsider, contending that “most Americans not only oppose this health care law — they support fully repealing it.” Public reaction to the law has been consistently negative, but apart from conservative Republicans, it is less clear what support exists for repeal. In a Washington Post/ ABC News poll this month, 47 percent of those surveyed said they opposed the law, 47 percent said they supported it and 6 percent expressed no opinion.

CREDIT CARD RELIEF 888-838-6679 60331538 WASHINGTON (AP) — Pressing an election-year point, Republicans pushed yet another bill through the House on Wednesday to repeal the nation’s two-year-old health care law, a maneuver that forced Democrats to choose between President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement and a public that is persistently skeptical of its value. The vote was 244-185, with five Democrats defectors siding with Republicans. By Republican count, the vote marked the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea partyinfused GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program — opponents scornfully call it “Obamacare” — since Republicans took control of the House. Repeal this year by Congress is doomed, since the Democratic-controlled Senate will never agree. But Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam said before joining other Republicans in Wednesday’s House vote: “Here’s the good news. The voters get the last word in November. Stay tuned.” Nor was the vote in the House the only act of political theater during the day as campaign concerns increasingly crowded out bipartisan attempts at law-making in the Capitol. One day after a campaigning Obama called on Congress to pass his proposal to extend tax cuts on all but the highest wage earners, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered to allow an immediate vote. “I can’t see why Democrats wouldn’t want to give him the chance” to sign the bill, he said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., countered by blocking an immediate vote. “We’ll get to the tax issues. That way we’ll be able to talk in more detail about Governor Romney’s taxes,” he said in a reference to Democratic campaign attacks on the GOP presidential candidate’s overseas investment, the relatively low rate of income tax he is required to pay and his refusal thus far to release personal tax returns dating before 2010.

Opponents of the law say any patient experiencing complications could receive immediate care from emergency room physicians. The clinic for the past several years has also had a transfer agreement with a local OB-GYN who has hospital admitting privileges. He doesn’t perform abortions at the clinic but provides backup help by agreeing to meet clinic patients at a hospital if there’s an emergency. Clinic owner Diane Derzis said since she acquired Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2010, no woman has had to be taken from the clinic by ambulance. The U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 established a nationwide right to abortion. In 1992, the court’s decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey upheld the Roe decision and allowed states to regulate abortions before fetuses are viable. But the 1992 decision also said states may not place undue burdens or substantial obstacles to women seeking abortion. If the clinic closed, the closest clinics to Jackson are about 200 miles away, in Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama. Mississippi physicians who perform fewer than 10 abortions a month can avoid having their offices regulated as an abortion clinic, and thus avoid restrictions in the new law. The clinic’s owner has said the clinic is unlikely to stay open and perform that few abortions per month. The Health Department said it doesn’t have a record of how many physicians perform fewer than 10 abortions a month. Clinic operators say almost all the abortions in the state are done in their building. They say in court papers that the clinic did about 3,000 abortions in 18 months. WASHINGTON (AP) — Can the Internal Revenue Service police President Barack Obama’s health care mandate while simultaneously collecting all the taxes for running the federal government? The question is being renewed in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding most of the 2010 Affordable Care Act as a tax issue rather than one of interstate commerce. Nearly 2½ years before taxpayers will have to start providing proof on their tax returns that they have health insurance, key Republicans suspect the agency already is diverting resources from collecting taxes to gear up for becoming the government’s health care cop. “Knowing the complexity of the health law, there’s no question that the IRS is going to struggle with this,” said Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., R-La., chairman of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee. “The IRS wants more resources. Well, we need to start digging down into what are they doing with the resources and personnel.” Ways and Means Committee Republicans have accused the IRS of obscuring its cost of putting in place the health care law by absorbing it into other parts of the agency’s budget. They cite a June report by the Government Accountability Office that said the IRS has not always accurately identified spending related to the new health care law. “The agency’s repeated lack of transparency to Congress and its failure to provide accountability to the American taxpayers raises fundamental concerns about implementation authorities vested to the IRS,” the top four Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee wrote in a June 27 letter to the IRS commissioner. The committee chairman, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., has scheduled a hearing on the tax implications of the Supreme Court’s ruling for Tuesday. Under the law, the IRS will provide tax breaks and incentives to help pay for health insurance and impose penal- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The changes will require new regulations, forms and publications, new computer programs and a big new outreach program to explain it all to taxpayers and tax professionals. Businesses that don’t claim an exemption will have to prove they offer health insurance to employees. The health care law “includes the largest set of tax law changes in more than 20 years,” according to the Treasury inspector general who oversees the IRS. The agency will have to hire thousands of workers to manage it, requiring significant budget increases that already are being targeted by congressional Republicans determined to dismantle the president’s signature initiative. Treasury spokeswoman Sabrina Siddiqui said, “The overwhelming majority of funds used by the agency to implement the Affordable Care Act go to administer the premium tax credits, which will be a tax cut averaging about $4,000 for more than 20 million middle-class people and families.” The Supreme Court, in its 5-4 ruling, upheld the mandate that most Americans get health insurance. The majority said Congress has the power to enforce the mandate under its taxing authority. The decision labeled the penalties a tax, noting that they will be collected by the IRS. Those who don’t get qualified health insurance will be required to pay the penalty — or tax — starting for the 2014 tax year, unless they are exempt because of low income, religious beliefs, or because they are members of American Indian tribes. The penalty will be fully phased in by 2016, when it will be $695 for each uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater, up to $12,500. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 4 million people will pay the penalty that year. The law, however, severely limits the ability of the IRS to collect the penalties. There are no civil or criminal penalties for refusing to pay it and the IRS cannot seize bank accounts or dock wages to collect it. No interest accumulates for unpaid penalties. So how can the IRS enforce the mandate? Scary letters and threats to withhold tax refunds. The law allows the IRS to withhold tax refunds to collect the penalty, and most filers get refunds. This year, 77 percent of the 135 million individual income tax returns processed by the IRS qualified for a refund. The average refund: $2,707. For those who don’t qualify for a refund, a stern letter from the IRS can be effective, even if it doesn’t come with the threat of civil or criminal penalties, said Elizabeth Maresca, a former IRS trial attorney who supervises the Tax & Consumer Litigation Clinic at the Fordham University law school. “Most people pay because they’re scared, and I don’t think that’s going to change,” Maresca said. The IRS has not yet issued procedures for taxpayers to prove they have insurance. But IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, in a 2010 speech, said he envisioned a process similar to the one used by taxpayers to report interest or investment income. Under this scenario, an insurance company would send the taxpayer and the IRS forms each year verifying that the taxpayer has qualified insurance. Taxpayers would file the forms with the IRS along with their returns, and the IRS would check them to make sure they match the information supplied by the insurance companies. The IRS says it is well on its way to gearing up for the new law but has offered little information about its long-term budget and staffing needs, generating complaints from Republican lawmakers and concern from government watchdogs. The IRS is expected to spend $881 million on the law from 2010 through 2013, hiring more than 2,700 new workers and upgrading its computer systems. But the IRS has not made public information about its spending plans in the following years, when the bulk of the health care law takes effect.

Romney draws boos from NAACP when he dings Obama HOUSTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney drew jeers from black voters Wednesday as he criticized President Barack Obama and pledged to repeal the Democrats’ health care overhaul. Romney told the annual meeting of the NAACP that backing him over the Democratic incumbent, who won their overwhelming support in 2008, is in the best interest of their families. He acknowledged his Republican Party doesn’t have a perfect record on race relations, but pledged during a sometimes rocky speech that, if elected, he would work with black leaders to put the country back to work. “I am going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program that I can find — and that includes Obamacare,” Romney said, drawing his first boos of the day. Romney stood motionless with a reserved expression for 15 seconds before noting a survey from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as support for his position. His rebuttal was greeted with silence. Indeed, Romney at times found himself adjusting his prepared remarks — with its typically business-oriented language — for his audience and sounded like an like an instructor explaining policy. Once he noted the slow growth of the GDP, the Gross Domestic Product, only to quickly adjust by adding “the economy.” Romney received polite applause at several points during the speech. But he was interrupted again when he flatly accused Obama of failing to spark a more robust economic recovery. “I know the president has said he will do those things. But he has not. He cannot. He will not. And his last four years in the White House prove it definitively,” Romney said as the crowd’s murmurs turned to louder groans. Finally, he stopped amid loud jeers. “If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him. You take a look,” Romney shot back. Romney, running against the nation’s first black president, isn’t going to win the African American vote. But he made a pitch with a major speech that also was aimed at showing independent and swing voters that he’s willing to reach out to diverse audiences — and demonstrating that his campaign and the Republican Party he leads are inclusive. Looking to cut into Obama’s support among African Americans, Romney called education the “civil rights issue of our era” and vowed to put blacks back to work. Citing June labor reports, he noted that the 14.4 percent unemployment rate among blacks is much higher than the 8.2 percent national average. Blacks tend to be unemployed longer and black families have a lower median income, Romney said. All told, it’s a difficult sell — 95 percent of blacks backed Obama in 2008. But Romney’s speech aside, Republicans and Democrats say he’s making a statement just by showing up and speaking to the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights group. “The first thing you need to do is show up, so I ultimately think he’s doing the right thing,” said Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., one of two black Republicans in Congress. “What he’s saying to everyone is that he’s (running to become) America’s president and not just those folks he thinks he can get votes from right now. I think that’s a very important statement.” “You’ve got to get credit for showing up — for being willing to go — no question,” said Karen Finney, a Democratic consultant who worked in the Clinton White House. “It’s more about your actions than it is about what you say.” Obama spoke to the group during the 2008 campaign, as did his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain. Obama doesn’t plan to speak this year. Instead, Vice President Joe Biden will address the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Thursday. Obama is scheduled to address the National Urban League later this month. Romney rarely speaks to predominantly black audiences at political events. One exception was a May visit to a charter school in Philadelphia, where he cast fixing the education system as a way to help blacks and other minorities. In framing education as a civil rights issue, Romney is following in George W. Bush’s footsteps. At a sweeping address to the NAACP in 2000, Bush, then the Re- publican presidential nominee, said the education system should “leave no child behind” and labeled the “soft bigotry of low expectations” as part of the problem facing black students. Romney has a personal history with civil rights issues. His father, George, spoke out against segregation in the 1960s and, as governor of Michigan, toured the state’s inner cities as race riots wracked Detroit and other urban areas across the country. He went on to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he pushed for housing reforms to help blacks. In recent months, Obama has approached race from an intensely personal perspective. After the shooting of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin in a Florida neighborhood — an act many blacks saw as racially motivated — Obama spoke directly to Martin’s parents from the Rose Garden. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said. Diminished enthusiasm for the president following the economic downturn could dampen black turnout, and that could make the difference in Southern states Obama won in 2008, particularly North Carolina and Virginia. Middleport Community Association Lunch Along The River 1ST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH 11a.m. - 1p.m. Through October Dave Diles Park $5.00/donation We Have Cats Meow $20@ W NE CINCINNATI (AP) — A group of girls accused of shoplifting snacks from a convenience store led police on a chase that ended when their car crashed into a utility pole, injuring three of them, police said. The pursuit began early Tuesday after a store manager reported that two girls entered the store around 4 a.m. and stole potato chips and other items before taking off in a car, Cincinnati police said. The responding officer saw a similar vehicle pass by about 4:45 a.m. and unsuccessfully tried to pull it over, leading to the pursuit that ended with the crash in a nearby suburb, according to police. The 16-year-old driver and two passengers, a 12-year-old and a 14-yearold, were taken to a Cincinnati hospital. The two older girls had injuries that weren’t life-threatening, and the youngest was in critical, but stable, condition, police spokesman Sgt. Dennis Swingley said Wednesday. Charges against the three girls were pending, he said. The car’s two other passengers, both juveniles, were cited for curfew violations and released to their parents, Swingley said. Police said they were not believed to have been involved in the alleged theft. The officer who pursued the car reported that the driver attempted to walk away from the crash and was told to stop, or a stun gun would be used. The officer said he fired the stun gun after the driver ignored commands. The driver was not hit by the gun’s barbs, but stopped at that point, according to police. Swingley declined to release the officer’s name. He said police were investigating whether the officer followed proper procedure. Investigators said they were trying to determine whether the 16-year-old driver possessed a valid driver’s license for the car, which was registered to the driver’s mother, the local newspaper reported. Choir From Page 1 out the event’s history, more than 2,000 choirs have participated in competitions across Europe and Asia. Hundreds of choirs and thousands of visitors will travel to Cincinnati to share their cultural heritage and to celebrate the global community with music, the common language of the world. Included in those visitors will be some local members of the French Colony Chorus, including Suzy Parker of Pomeroy, Ohio, Marti Edelmann, of Rio Grande, Ohio, Susan Russell of Gallipolis, Ohio and Certified Director of French Colony Chorus Jean Barford, Director of Region Four Chorus, Sharon Anderson of Gallipo- lis, Brenda Jameson of Point Pleasant, Amy Sprague of Gallipolis and Mary Jane Getty of Point Pleasant. The ladies make up the 146-member chorus which consists of members from the Sweet Adeline Region Four. This region includes the states of West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. The group will compete on July 12. This is the first time Barbershop music has been included in the Games. The local ladies traveled to Dayton for rehearsals and Director Barford is an International Sound Judge for the Sweet Adeline chorus competitions and over 35 year Master Sweet Adeline Chorus director. 507 Mulberry Heights, Pomeroy, OH 45769 Call Now For An Appointment 1-800-634-5265 Advertise your business in this space, or bigger Call us at: The Daily Sentinel Middleport Pool Middleport High\Meigs Jr. High Meigs High School GREAT GIFT IDEA!

(AP) — Edwin Rodriguez climbed the managing ladder all the way to the major leagues. Now the former Florida Marlins skipper has settled into a new home — back in the minors. Rodriguez is one of a handful of ex-big league managers who have resurfaced this season in the minors. He’s now in charge of the Single-A Carolina Mudcats and relishing the challenge of developing the next crop of Cleveland Indians. “Most of the guys that got to manage in the big leagues — I would say a high percentage of them — they have been through the minor leagues and the development side, working with the minor-league players, the young players, and that’s one thing that you just don’t stop doing,” Rodriguez said in an interview with The Associated Press. “You really like when you see a player grow up as a player, as an athlete, and it’s a very great moment for you as a coach when you see that,” he added. “I’m just talking about myself, but I’m pretty sure everybody would say the same thing. … So whenever we have a chance to stay in baseball and come back to the minor leagues, I think that’s one thing we’d take into consideration.” He certainly isn’t alone in the minors. Former Cleveland interim manager Joel Skinner is now with Triple-A Charlotte. Former Nation- als manager Jim Riggleman is with the Reds’ Double-A affiliate in Pensacola. Ex-Toronto skipper John Gibbons has resurfaced with the Padres’ Double-A team in San Antonio — with San Diego general manager Josh Byrnes calling Gibbons “a great addition to our organization.” “His knowledge, calmness and competitiveness have all proven to be standout qualities,” Byrnes said. “We are lucky to have him.” Indians GM Chris An- tonetti said Rodriguez is “invaluable because he provides a unique set of experiences. “Having managed some of the best players in the world at the major league level and dealing with that dynamic and now going back to the minor leagues and being able to have that impact on younger players and apply some of the lessons that he learned at the major league level and share some of those with the younger guys, is really valuable for us,” he added. It’s not often that former MLB managers slide back to the minors. More frequently, they find work on someone else’s big league staff — perhaps as a base coach or bench coach — while hoping for that next big-league managing gig. Skinner, the Indians’ interim manager in 2003, first dipped into the minors in 2009 at Double-A Akron and spent two years on Oakland’s big-league staff See MINORS ‌| 8 Giant blowout: NL routs AL 8-0 in All-Star game KANSAS CITY, Mo.

The World Series will start in the city of the NL champion for the third straight year. “It’s a nice edge,” the NL’s Tony La Russa said after his final game as a manager. Flashing their bright orange spikes and booming bats, the San Francisco sluggers keyed a five-run blitz against Justin Verlander in the first inning. Cabrera homered and won the MVP award in the ballpark where he played last season, and Cain got the win in the NL’s mostlopsided All-Star victory. “I didn’t come to win an MVP. That’s just a surprise,” the former Royals outfielder said, his mother and grandmother next to him. “The same opportunity that Kansas City gave me last year is the same opportunity that San Francisco is giving me every day to showcase my talent.” Chipper Jones singled in his final All-Star at-bat at age 40. Ryan Braun, an All-Star again after his drug suspension was overturned last winter, doubled, tripled and made a fine catch in the outfield to help give the NL its first three-game winning streak in two decades. Teen sensation Bryce Harper had a shaky All-Star debut with a walk, strikeout and missed catch.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Publishing area had two ladies selected to the 2012 All-Ohio softball squads, as voted on by a panel of statewide coaches. Eastern senior Hayley Gillian and Gallia Academy senior Heather Ward were both chosen in their respective divisions after each helped lead their teams to district-level competition. Gillian was a first-team selection as an outfielder in Division IV, while Ward was a second-team honoree in Division II as a pitcher. Gillian and the Lady Eagles completed the 2012 campaign with a 20-6 overall mark while earning a share of the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division championship with Wahama (15-1). Eastern won its sectional title and was defeated by Portsmouth Notre Dame in the Meigs Football/Parent Meeting ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A meeting for all Meigs football players and parents grades 7-12 will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 20 at DETROIT (AP) — Next season’s the new Farmers Bank Sta- Winter Classic between the Detroit dium/Holzer Field.

Two alumni games scheduled for Winter Classic Redmond, John Ogrodnick, Luc Robitaille, Dino Ciccarelli, Mark Howe, Chris Osgood, Mike Vernon and Alex Delvecchio. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland also said four members of Detroit’s “Grind Line” — Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty and Joe Kocur — are expected. “Four guys on one line,” Holland said. Clark was ready with a retort. “It felt like that some nights,” he said. Clark, Darryl Sittler and Doug Gilmour are expected to represent the Maple Leafs, along with Rick Vaive, Darcy Tucker, Felix Potvin, Mike Palmateer, Kevin Maguire, Dave Andreychuk, Curtis Joseph, Johnny Bower, Ron Ellis and Jim McKenny. More players will need to be added, obviously, and Holland said he’d certainly reach out to former Detroit stars like Steve Yzerman, Sergei Fedorov and Nicklas Lidstrom “Obviously we’re going to ask all them,” Holland said. “Some people we’ve asked. They’re interested. They want to make sure they can clear their schedule.” Holland also held court for a bit on his team’s offseason, which is off to a tough start after Lidstrom’s retirement and the decisions by free agent targets Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to sign with Minnesota instead of coming to Detroit. Holland didn’t want to give any names of other options, but he did field a question about Phoenix’s Shane Doan. “I think Shane Doan obviously has to make a decision if he wants to play with Phoenix,” Holland said. “The media likes to create a lot of stories. At the end of the day, players have got to make personal decisions that fit their wants and needs. If and when he decides he wants to leave Phoenix, obviously I think he’d be a player that all 30 teams in the league would love to have.” �Thursday, July 12, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 ANNOUNCEMENTS Professional Services Want To Buy Apartments/Townhouses SERVICES SEPTIC PUMPING Gallia Co.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Cano reception during Home Run Derby causes stir KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The relentless booing of the Yankees’ Robinson Cano by Kansas City fans during the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night drew national attention, and in some places scorn. Fans were upset after the captain of the American League squad said he would choose a hometown player for his four-man team, but instead bypassed Royals star Billy Butler and went with Prince Fielder of the Tigers, Mark Trumbo of the Angels and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays. Fielder won the competition, and the AL routed the National League. Cano wound up going 0 for 10, though, and each failure was met by cheers. Cano brushed off the cold reception, but others weren’t so kind to Kansas City. Several national TV broadcasters, radio hosts and columnists called the fans everything from “jerks” to “classless.” “Robinson Cano certainly picked people he thought should be on there,” Commissioner Bud Selig told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday. “While I understand Kansas City and I understand the whole Billy Butler thing, I really felt very badly last night.” Union head Michael Weiner thought the level of jeering was not justified. “It struck me that it moved a little bit past traditional, good-natured booing, partic- John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/MCT photo New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano (24) took a swing during Monday’s Home Run Derby competition on July 9, 2012, at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. ularly for an event like that, and got into another area,” Weiner said. “But Robinson Cano grew up in the Dominican Republic, plays in the Bronx, plays for the Yankees. He’s going to be fine.” Cano said that he was prepared for a frigid reception, even though it appeared to rattle him every time his father, Jose, delivered a pitch that he popped up, fouled off or grounded out. Yankees teammates Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia even interrupted the proceedings to give father and son and a pep talk, but it didn’t do a whole lot of good. “It was interesting,” Granderson said. “It was one of those things where once it started, everyone else caught on, and the performance that Robbie was able to do just added to it. But it’s like Robinson said, we’re the Yankees, we get booed all the time.” The booing didn’t stop on Tuesday night, either. While fans cheered every other player during pregame introductions — including fellow Yankees Derek Jeter and Granderson — they still jeered Cano when he trotted out from the home dugout. Yankees star Alex Rodriguez sent Cano a text message of encouragement Monday night — “He said, you know, he’s a guy that’s looking out for me,” Cano said — and many others came to his defense. to start (teaching the players) from zero,” Rodriguez said. “I can’t assume anything with these guys, with the young players, so it’s a daily reminder for me.” The move back down to the minors usually requires a refocusing of priorities. While managers are judged primarily on wins and losses in the big leagues, the emphasis is a little different in the minors — the record matters, but generally not as much as keeping the players developing and moving up the farm system. Players’ “makeup sometimes is different — they’re a little more fragile mentally, and they have to understand that it’s a grind,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a long season, and that’s the part that as a manager or coach, you have to take that in consideration, making sure the confidence is going to be there regardless. … The difference is, in the big leagues, you have to make sure they’re doing their work and all that. In the minor leagues, you really have to work on the mental side of the player.” Their experience certainly gives them added credibility with their impressionable players. “He treats us like men,” said Tony Wolters, a 20-year-old shortstop with the Mudcats. “If I was in the big leagues, I think that’s how it would be.” Rodriguez insists he isn’t in a rush to get back to that level. Sure, if a big-league team wanted to talk, he’d take the call — but that’s not what drives him these days. “If I retired today or they fired me today, I would be pleased,” Rodriguez said. “I just want to be in baseball for as long as I can and they want me here. There’s no goal, there’s no agenda of going back to the big leagues. If there’s some team out there that would want my service? Yeah, of course, why not? But it’s not a goal. … I can retire tomorrow or today, and I will be pleased with what I’ve done.” Minors From Page 6 before coming to Charlotte. Gibbons, fired by the Blue Jays in 2008, was Kansas City’s bench coach before going in San Antonio. Rodriguez’s ascent started in 1997 as the hitting coach of Tampa Bay’s rookie-league team. He rocketed up the Marlins’ organization and peaked in 2010 when the big-league club made him the first Puerto Rican-born manager in major-league history. He went 78-85 during parts of two seasons before resigning last June following a long losing streak. Roughly 10 minutes after that announcement, he said, another unnamed bigleague team offered a job on its staff — and a different club made a similar offer a week later. He held off and took the Indians’ job because of that club’s reputation for developing players, especially those from Latin America. “Going back to A-ball, I really have to remind myself on a daily basis that I have Miscellaneous THURSDAY PRIMETIME 6 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) 18 24 25 26 27 29 30 31 34 35 37 38 39 40 42 52 57 58 60 61 62 64 65 67 68 72 73 74 400 450 500 (WGN) (FXSP) (ESPN) (ESPN2) (LIFE) (FAM) (SPIKE) (NICK) (USA) (TBS) (CNN) (TNT) (AMC) (DISC) (A&E) (ANPL) (OXY) (WE) (E!)

You might opt for a special, long-desired trip together. TAURUS helps pave the way for you. 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 Clearly an adjustment is made by others, but perhaps not for the reason you wanted. The change occurs because of certain financial benefits. Don’t get picky — just be happy. Confusion surrounds conversations. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Treat yourself, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You know when it is prime time to make your move, and that time is now. Do not hesitate to push in order to get what you feel is needed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Even if you must maintain a low profile, you’ll gain a different perspective. In the long run, this stance is perfect, as new insights will allow you to make better choices. You see the light, so to speak. Tonight: You do not always need company — do you? Do your own thing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A goal-driven response inspires close-to-perfect action. You cannot always operate like this, but you like the results. A partner might demonstrate an innate confusion when speaking or responding to you. Focus on your long-term goals instead of getting too uptight about a problem. Tonight: Where crowds can be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others continue to look to you for guidance and understanding. You might want to change your M.O. as you discover what a burden you might be carrying. Give yourself time if you feel uncomfortable. Tonight: Leader of the gang (again). VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out for someone you really care about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Defer to others, especially as they are determined to have their way. Communication flows, so use your ability to help yourself and others process a problem. A friend could disappoint you. Plans also might change. Tonight: Sort through invitations. Think “weekend.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are tempted to plunge into whatever you do 100 percent. You could be confused by a personal matter. Revamp your budget if you need to; do not let someone’s opinion affect you. Give yourself time. Don’t demand the impossible from yourself. Tonight: Get some exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Once more, others are taken with a side of you that does not come out often: your creativity. You are known for your endurance and intellect. Ingenuity — the blend of imagination and logic — can find solutions where others cannot. Let more impulsiveness in. Tonight: Fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Stay close to home, and refuse to be intimidated. You might be seeing a constant flow of cash leaving your checking account. If this makes you uncomfortable, you know what to do — just stop spending. Ask questions in a nonthreatening manner. Tonight: Your home is your castle. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH State your case, ask questions and loosen up about a situation. You can achieve this without standing on ceremony or changing your goals. Most people will be highly responsive, with the exception of a close loved one. Tonight: Yap up a storm. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. �Thursday, July 12, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 Star From Page 6 rookie Mike Trout, only 20, showed off his dynamic skills. Cain combined with Stephen Strasburg, R.A. Dickey, Aroldis Chapman and the rest of a lights-out staff on a six-hitter. The game was pretty much decided a few moments after it started. Sandoval hit the first bases-loaded triple in All-Star history off Verlander, who couldn’t control his 100 mph heat. Cabrera singled and scored the first run, then hit a two-run homer against Matt Harrison in a three-run fourth. “I don’t get many triples,” said the slow-footed Sandoval, known as Kung Fu Panda. “We had some fun with that in the dugout.” San Francisco fans, who made a late voting push to elect Sandoval and Cabrera to starting spots, might really appreciate the victory come October. The Giants are a half-game behind the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. Rafael Furcal also hit a three-bagger, making the NL the first league with three in an All-Star game. As the All-Stars returned to Kansas City for the first time since 1973, La Russa bid farewell to the national stage in the city where he played for his first major league team. Having retired after managing St. Louis to last year’s World Series title, La Russa became just the fourth inactive manager to skipper an All-Star team and improved to 4-2. “Just lucky, like I’ve been 30 years,” La Russa said. The NL boosted its advantage to 43-38-2 and won for just the third time in the 10 years the All-Star game has been used to determine home-field advantage in the World Series. La Russa’s Cardinals benefited from last year’s NL All-Star victory, with St. Louis winning Games 6 and 7 at home against Ron Washington’s Texas Rangers. “It’s very disappointing, because we’re competitors and we want to win,” said Washington, who lost for the second straight year. “They came out. They swung the bats. Once they got the lead, started bringing those arms in their hand, and they got the job done.” Jones, retiring at the end of the season, also had one last All-Star moment, pinch hitting in the sixth and singling just past second baseman Ian Kinsler and into right field. Jones chuckled as the ball rolled through. La Russa asked Jones to address the team before the game and the Atlanta third baseman told players: “Whether you’re 19 or 40, we are all equals here.” “I am not going out losing my last one. So, you with me?” he added. At 19 the youngest position player in All-Star history, Harper had a shaky start when he entered in the fifth. The heralded rookie, wearing shiny gold shoes, didn’t flash a Gold Glove and lost Mike Napoli’s routine fly to left in the lights, allowing it to drop behind him for a single. Harper then caught Kinsler’s bases-loaded flyball to end the inning, earning applause from the crowd of 40,933 at Kauffman Stadium, spruced up by a $250 million renovation that was completed three years ago. Harper tagged up on a long fly after his walk in the fifth, but got himself hung up in a rundown and tagged out. Trout, among a record five All-Star rookies, had a nice showing against two very different pitchers. The Angels outfielder singled and stole a base against Dickey’s knuckleball, then drew a walk against Chapman and his 101 mph heat. “I’m going to remember this the rest of my life,” Trout said. Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in big league history last month. He didn’t have to be perfect in this one, allowing one hit in two innings for the win. “For those guys to go out and score five runs in the first inning was definitely a little more relaxing for me,” he said. “But I still tried to stay focused.” Cain was followed by 10 relievers, with Jonathan Papelbon getting the last out with a runner on third base. Verlander had a puzzling outing. In games that count, he hasn’t allowed five runs in an inning since April 2010, according to STATS LLC. He became the first All-Star to give up a fivespot since Houston’s Roger Clemens in front of his hometown fans in 2004. “I know this game means something and you don’t want to give up runs, but we’re here for the fans,” Verlander said. “I know the fans don’t want to see me throw 90 and try to hit the corners.” In a 35-pitch inning, he threw five pitches clocked at 100 mph and another at 101. “Hitting 100 in the first inning? Normally you see the guy throw 93, 94 in the first and then hit 100 in the eighth. We saw him hit 101,” Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano said. “The funniest part was Fielder said to him, ‘Hit 101’ and the next pitch he hit 101. Is it that easy?” La Russa, usually serious and tense after games, was playful after his finale, chanting “Mel-ky! Melky! Mel-ky!” as the MVP walked to the podium. “If you’re trying to win one game, there’s not a better manager out there,” Braun said. “It’s only fitting that he went out with a win.” NOTES: The NL extended the AL’s scoreless streak to 14 innings — its longest drought since 1995-97. … The NL won for just the sixth time in a quarter-century. … The NL had last won three straight in 1994-96. … It was the first All-Star shutout since the NL’s 6-0 win in 1996 at Philadelphia. … The Giants’ Barry Bonds was MVP of the ‘73 game. ley, so., Zanesville; Kimmy Granata, sr., Perrysburg; Margo Hutchison, sr., Mason.
