Jaylin Snider, Kelsey Shuler, POMEROY — Heavy rains have once again swelled the Ohio River out of its banks though it appears the water should crest just below flood stage in many local areas. On Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service in Charleston, W.Va. reported the Ohio River was at 35.89 feet and would likely crest at 40 feet in Racine on Thursday, April 21 — this puts the water one foot below flood stage. This also means the water will likely crest at around 43 feet in Pomeroy on Thursday which is three feet below the village’s flood stage of 46 feet. By Wednesday afternoon, 9-10 © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. MIDDLEPORT — Deconstruction of the interior of the old Middleport Elementary School could be completed in the next week, as the village prepares to convert the building into a new village hall. A contract for construction of the new village hall is expected to be awarded in May, and by year’s end, officials there hope, village departments, including police, public works and mayor and council offices, will be located in the new location. Mayor Michael Gerlach said asbestos abatement has been completed, and floor tile in one portion of the building must be removed in order to prepare the area for the new jail to be included in the river water began to spill further into the Pomeroy parking lot, flooding the dip and closing part of the road in and out of the lot.

Weather permitting, both lanes are expected to be open to traffic by April 29. POMEROY — The Meigs County Jail was evacuated early yesterday when a fire broke out in the heating system. Sheriff Robert Beegle said the fire was a result of a brief electrical outage around 4 a.m. this morning. There were no injuries, although staff and six prisoners were evacuated while the 19thcentury building was ventilated. Beegle said the heating system’s pump, which circulates hot water throughout the building, locked up and began to smoke during a brief electrical outage. Deputy Jonathan Sanders contacted the Pomeroy and Middleport police departments to assist in the evacuation of the jail, and the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire and ventilated the building, Beegle said. The office and jail are now back in operation, and no damage was reported. project. The asbestos work, performed by a state-licensed subcontractor, was completed in two phases, Gerlach said. The project, Gerlach said, is still on schedule for completion late this year. It is being financed through nearly $1 million in bond sales to Farmers Bank and Savings Co. Council plans to use revenue from an expanded co-educational jail facility to retire the debt it assumes for converting the 50 yearold school building into a new village hall, estimating that as much as $300,000 a year could be realized from “renting” jail space to the county and other law enforcement jurisdictions. Gerlach said Architect Randy Breech will meet with prospective contractors to discuss the construction phase of the project prior to the award of a bid — probably next month. The school building has been largely vacant for the last decade, after its transfer to the village by the Meigs Local School District. It has been used primarily for storage of village equipment, although a portion was leased to a private business until late last year. The village recently closed on the purchase of an adjacent lot, as well. Little new construction is expected, as plans for the new village hall are contained to the existing school building. The jail portion of the new village hall will be the biggest part of the work. Two former classrooms will be used for the jail space, which will have a separate secured entrance.

Motorcycle fatalities up from last year BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM COLUMBUS — Motorcycle fatalities in Ohio are on the rise compared to the previous year, according to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, despite a general decline across the country. According to the ODPS, there was an increase of eight motorcycle fatalities across the state compared to last year, which equates to around a five percent increase following a 23 percent decrease from 2008 and 2009. In 2010 there were 169 fatalities and in 2009 there were 161 fatalities involving motorcycles. To put these numbers in perspective, there were 213 fatalities in 2008. According to preliminary data from the ODPS, there was one motorcycle fatality in Meigs County and one in Gallia County in 2010 which contributed to the state total of 169 fatalities.

The city says he can prove no harm and that he didn’t even want the tapes — he wanted the thousands in penalty dollars for requesting records that no longer exist. Attorneys for both sides argued Wednesday before the Ohio Supreme Court, disagreeing on whether Timothy Rhodes was “aggrieved” by the failure of the city of New Philadelphia to retain the thousands of daily tapes he requested in 2007. If the court decides in his favor, Rhodes and plaintiffs in about half a dozen similar suits around Ohio could collect big — and, their lawyers say, they will also have scored a big victory for government transparency. Rhodes’ attorney Craig Conley argued it is wrong to paint his client as a money grubber, after Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor asked whether only one party could “cash in” under the law as he read it. “First of all, I don’t agree with ... ‘cash in.’ The case law is clear: This is not compensation to the requesting party, this is a penalty designed to punish and deter,” he said. “And without it, the right of access without a remedy is a meaningless right.” New Philadelphia attorney John McLandrich argued a decision in Rhodes’ favor would “set off a gold rush” of citizens seeking records they know are no longer available. He said a person doesn’t need a pure motive for wanting to look at the records, but they have to have some kind of motive. “It doesn’t matter why you want it, you just have to really want it,” he said, calling that a low bar most people who seek public records can easily meet. Rhodes initially sought $4.9 million in penalties, $1,000 a day for every one of the 4,968 days of records that were destroyed, court documents indicate. A lower court calculated New Philadelphia’s penalty at $84,000 for taping over its 911 recordings from 1975 to 1995, money that would go to Rhodes if he wins. Other communities — including Canfield, Willard and East Liverpool — are embroiled in similar court battles worth millions of dollars in combined penalties. Rhodes’ motivation for seeking the records is the heart of the legal question. “Every city in the state of Ohio recycles these tapes just like the city of New Philadelphia did,” McLandrich said ahead Wednesday’s proceeding. “The fact of the matter is they knew they (the tapes) weren’t there and that’s why they wanted them. So he wrote to enough cities until he found one that didn’t have a records retention policy on file, and that’s the one he asked.” Another of Rhodes’ attorneys, William Walker, said in an interview that his client belonged to a coalition that was positioning for a fight against a sales tax hike in Stark County that was going to fund a countywide 911 emergency center. As Walker tells it, a mathematician helping with the project wanted to do a statistical analysis of 911 systems in hopes of showing they weren’t effective, so Rhodes sought out municipalities similar in size to Massillon and other Stark County cities. That’s how he wound up in New Philadelphia. “This 911 center was something brand new and they were going to try to fund it with a sales tax,” Walker said. “The group was trying to oppose funding.” Walker said New Philadelphia was simply negligent. He said state law required the city to put a records retention policy in place and to inform the Ohio Historical Society when it was planning to destroy records. It did neither. The city’s open records commission met only once, he said, at a bar in downtown New Philadelphia. McLandrich doesn’t believe Walker’s account. “I absolutely think it’s made up,” he said. “I don’t believe that’s what they were doing, and the jury didn’t believe it either.” The jury he’s referring to decided in New Philadelphia’s favor after learning about Rhodes’ approach for requesting the records. Rhodes wrote a letter asking if the city had a records retention policy, noting that, if it didn’t, he wanted the old records. In 2007, the year the request was made, the most recent records he was seeking were already 12 years old. “What they’re trying to do is make this about the requester, Tim Rhodes, like he’s a bad guy or something,” Walker said. “He got flustered on the stand (during the jury trial), he didn’t say clearly why he wanted them (the tapes), he was a novice. But what’s it matter why he wanted them? These are our records, the public’s records, to do with what we want.” Walker said too much is being made of the money. He said cities have insurance to cover such penalties, called civil forfeitures, so losing the case will cost taxpayers nothing. The ruling is so anxiously watched around the state that William has named it after one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. “We’ve started referring to it as ‘The Colossus of Rhodes’ because everybody’s waiting for it,” he said. Day of remembrance: 1 year after Gulf oil disaster BY CAIN BURDEAU AND HARRY R. WEBER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Relatives flew over Gulf of Mexico waters on Wednesday where 11 oil rig workers died a year ago, residents gathered in quiet prayer vigils onshore and President Barack Obama vowed to hold BP and others accountable for “the painful losses that they’ve caused.” Somber remembrances marked the one-year anniversary of the rig explosion that caused the worst offshore oil spill in American history. But all is not bleak. Beaches, restaurants and hotels are filling up again, and experts say the resilient Gulf is on the mend. The disaster began on the night of April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon rig burst into flames and killed the 11 men. The rest of the crew evacuated, but two days later the rig toppled into the Gulf and sank to the sea floor. Over the next 85 days, 206 million gallons of oil — 19 times more than the Exxon Valdez spilled — spewed from the well. Parents, siblings and wives of the workers — whose bodies were never recovered — boarded a helicopter Wednesday to see the waters where their loved ones perished. The helicopter took them from New Orleans out to the well site, circled around so that people on both sides of the aircraft could see and then returned to shore, said Arleen Weise, whose son, Adam, was killed on the rig. The only indication they were at the site was an announcement from the pilot, she said. “It was just a little emotional, seeing where they were,” Weise said by phone from Houston, where rig owner Transocean planned an evening memorial service. Asked what went through her mind when she saw where the rig went down, Weise said, “Just rise up. I wanted them to come up, but it didn’t happen.” Helicopter operator PHI said 17 family members, one Transocean official and two pilots were aboard the chopper for the three-hour roundtrip. Transocean had invited up to three members of each family to attend the flyover, but some families declined. Janet Woodson, whose brother Aaron Burkeen was killed on the rig, also was on the helicopter ride. “It was OK, but sad even though there was nothing there,” she told the AP. In a statement, President Barack Obama paid tribute to those killed in the blast and thanked the thousands of responders who “worked tirelessly to mitigate the worst impacts” of the oil spill. “We continue to hold BP and other responsible parties fully accountable for the damage they’ve done and the painful losses that they’ve caused,” he said. At a candle-lit ceremony in New Orleans’ Jackson Square shortly after sunrise, environmentalists and religious leaders joined to remember the perished rig workers and call on the nation to take the steps to prevent another environ- mental catastrophe. The ceremony organized by the Sierra Club attracted only a handful of attendees, underscoring the point of a rabbi who addressed the group. “Our souls are slumbering in moral indifference,” said Rabbi Edward Cohn of the Temple Sinai in New Orleans. “People quite rightly are asking: How and when, and by whose insistence and stubborn support, will the public’s mind be refocused upon what happened in the Gulf?” Elsewhere around the world, BP employees were observing a minute of silence. “We are committed to meet our obligations to those affected by this tragedy and we will continue our work to strengthen safety and risk management across BP,” BP chief executive Bob Dudley said in a message on the company’s website. “But most of all today, we remember 11 fellow workers and we deeply regret the loss of their lives.” The solemn ceremonies underscore the delicate healing that is only now taking shape. Oil still occasionally rolls up on beaches in the form of tar balls, and fishermen face an uncertain future. Louis and Audrey Neal of Pass Christian, Miss., who make their living from crabbing, said it’s gotten so bad since the spill that they’re contemplating divorce and facing foreclosure. “I don’t see any daylight at the end of this tunnel. I don’t see any hope at all. We thought we’d see hope after a year, but there’s nothing,” Audrey Neal said. “We ain’t making no money. There’s no crabs,” said Louis Neal, a lifelong crabber. His wife said the couple received about $53,000 from BP early on, but that was just enough money to cover three months of debt. They haven’t received any funds from an administrator handing out compensation from a $20 billion fund set up by BP, they said. Still, there are some signs that normalcy is returning. Traffic jams on the narrow coastal roads of Alabama, crowded seafood restaurants in Florida and families vacationing along the Louisiana coast attest to the fact that familiar routines are returning, albeit slowly. John Williams spent the oil spill anniversary trying to catch mackerel on the fishing pier at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Ala. Hundreds lined the pier. The state banned anglers from keeping their catch off the pier last year because of the oil, but coolers were full of big redfish and king mackerel on Wednesday. “People will be back. It’s pretty down here, and it’s good to be out here,” said Williams, of Daphne. Members of 10 Alabama churches gathered on a public beach in Orange Beach, Ala., during a daylong prayer vigil. As families played in the surf and BP cleanup workers scoured the beach a few miles west for tarballs, Abe Feingold sat under an awning with friends and said a prayer. Drilling fluid gushes from northern Pennsylvania gas well BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM ASSOCIATED PRESS ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A blowout at a natural gas well in rural northern Pennsylvania spilled thousands of gallons of chemical-laced water Wednesday, contaminating a stream and forcing the evacuation of seven families who live nearby as crews struggled to stop the gusher. Chesapeake Energy Corp. lost control of the well site near Canton, in Bradford County, around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, officials said. Tainted water continued to flow from the site Wednesday afternoon, though workers finally managed to prevent any more of it from reaching the stream. No injuries were reported, and there was no explosion or fire. “As a precautionary measure, seven families who live near the loca- tion have been temporarily relocated until all agencies involved are confident the situation has been contained. There have been no injuries or natural gas emissions to the atmosphere,” Chesapeake spokesman Brian Grove said in a statement. Chesapeake said a piece of equipment failed late Tuesday while the well was being hydraulically fractured, or fracked. In the frack- ing process, millions of gallons of water, along with chemical additives and sand, are injected at high pressure down the well bore to break up the shale and release the gas. State environmental regulators were taking water samples from the unnamed tributary of Towanda Creek on Wednesday but did not report a fish kill. Towanda Creek is stocked with trout. Obama at Facebook: Politicking in new media age BY JULIE PACE ASSOCIATED PRESS PALO ALTO, Calif. — President Barack Obama sought to connect with younger voters Wednesday with a town hall meeting at the headquarters of Facebook, the hugely popular social networking site. Obama, who already has a lot of Facebook fans — more than 19 million on his official page — was taking questions at the start of a West Coast trip aimed at building support for his deficit-reduction plans and raising money for his re-election campaign. In town hall meetings in California and Nevada, he will be pitching his prescription for reducing the deficit by $4 trillion over 12 years through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases for the rich. The president’s three-day trip is his most extensive travel since he announced his 2012 bid earlier this month. That campaign could set new fundraising records as Obama courts high-dollar donors as well as young people, many of whom were among the small donors who buoyed his 2008 campaign. In Palo Alto, Obama was expected to answer questions submitted via Facebook and read to him by a moderator as well as some questions from a small in-person audience. Video of the event was to be streamed on the White House Facebook page. He’s the first U.S. president to visit Facebook’s headquarters. Weeks of heated debate in Washington over longand short-term spending have left Obama with some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. But the numbers are even lower for the Republican-led House and Obama’s potential Republican challengers. Voters say they want Washington to tackle deep deficit reductions, and both parties are responding — Obama with his plan to cut $4 trillion, and House Republicans with a plan passed last week that seeks to cut $5.8 trillion in spending over 10 years. The challenge for the president and his Republican rivals is to also connect their efforts with the public’s pressing concerns over persistently high unemployment and rising gasoline prices. In this age of Twitter, YouTube and dwindling viewership of broadcast evening news, a president must use every resource available, White House press secretary Jay Carney said. Officials advised a neighboring farmer to prevent his cows from drinking surface water, according to DEP spokeswoman Katy Gresh. She said reports from the scene indicate that fracking water was gushing from the wellhead, pooling on the pad, then escaping containment. “Discharge of fluids to the unnamed tributary appears to be stopped,” she said. The blowout comes amid a natural gasdrilling boom in the Marcellus Shale formation below Pennsylvania and neighboring states. Fracking allows affordable access to gas supplies that once were too expensive to tap. Critics complain that the chemicals used in fracking may be contaminating water supplies. �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND Community Calendar Public meeting Monday, April 25 RACINE — Southern Local Board of Education, regular meeting, 8 p.m., high school media center. take place at 2 p.m. Saturday on Bob Roberts Field in Pomeroy.

OʼBleness displays donorsʼ Lifeline family quilt ATHENS — As a part of Ohio Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness, Lynn O’Leary, a registered nurse and liaison for O’Bleness Memorial Hospital, arranged to have one of the 11 Lifeline of Ohio Donor Family Quilt panels displayed at O’Bleness from now until Wednesday, April 27. “The Lifeline of Ohio Donor Family Quilt is a profile of lives lost too soon, and a patchwork that weaves a common thread of triumph over tragedy,” said O’Leary, who went to describe it as a “visual testament to the human spirit that embodies organ and tissue donation.” Each “memory square” on the quilt was created by family members to honor their loved ones who, in death, passed on the “gift of life” to others. The quilt is an ongoing project for Lifeline of Ohio, the organ procurement organization serving central and southeastern Ohio. Since the concept was proposed in the summer of 1998, more than 300 families have contributed a “memory square.” Each square is distinctly unique. Some families constructed squares from articles of the donors’ clothing, baby blankets or toys; while others incorporated photos, poems or original artwork created by the donor. Each square tells the story of a toddler, a teen, a parent or a grandparent. Organ and tissue donors were athletes, fishermen, teachers, truckers, gardeners, cheerleaders and cherished friends — all ages, all interests and from all walks of life. All are heroes to the hundreds of transplant recipients who are alive or living a better life today because of the compassion of these individuals and their families. On August 19, 2008, Julie Casteel learned that her son, Jared, died in a car accident. He had registered with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles as an organ and tissue donor. “We had not known that Jared made this decision,” said Casteel. “We were extremely proud of him. It wasn’t a surprise that he thought about others. He was such a giving person.” Casteel went on to Page 3 tion program,” said O’Leary. “It promotes the human aspect of donation that is often overlooked in the drama and technology of transplantation. We are pleased to have one panel, “Shine On,” of the donor family memory quilt on display at O’Bleness as a way to honor and recognize these individuals and families who shared the gift of life through organ and tissue donation.” Currently the national waiting list for organ transplants includes 110,484 people, and the number of Ohioans waiting for a transplant tops 3,387. Each day 18 people die waiting for an organ transplant. Every 48 hours, an Ohioan dies waiting. In the last 10 years, more than 2,000 Ohioans have died waiting for a transplant. According to O’Leary, one person’s “gift of life” can help many others. “One individual can potentially save the lives of up to eight people through organ donation and enhance the lives of up to 50 more through tissue donation,” O’Leary said. People can become organ and tissue donors by registering their intentions at the time of their driver license renewal and then sharing those wishes concerning donation with loved ones.

We have always sent the kids off when they were 8, but now for the first time, one of the cousins is refusing to go. That would be my daughter. She says it is “scary.” She has visited the camp since she was small, and she knows everyone else is going. I know she will enjoy it. Should I just not listen to her and sign her up with the rest of the kids? — C.G. Dear C.G.: Family traditions can be wonderful ways of passing meaningful things and experiences down to the younger members of the clan. It’s easy to get caught up in the continuity of things that “everyone” “always” does and be secure in the knowledge that the whole family will have great memories to share and pass down from generation to generation. But in carrying out family traditions, we sometimes might forget that the kids making the memories are individuals who may be marching to the beat of a different drummer. Your daughter may be perfectly fine with going to the Dr. Joyce Brothers camp, just not quite yet. Eight years old may just be too young for your daughter to separate from you. She probably has enjoyed seeing the camp from year to year, but when she visits, she may be secretly thinking that she’s glad she doesn’t have to go there and leave her mom and dad for the summer, or however long it is. She may need a little more time than the others to adjust to being away from home. So maybe you could send her to a local day camp this summer, and let her have some sleepovers with friends as well. She probably has plenty of kids available to hang out with around home, and by next year she may be eagerly awaiting sleepaway camp. So please try having some patience.

Small “d” democrats there and elsewhere are alarmed by top Brotherhood officials who now aver openly what has been utterly predictable: Once in power they will impose shariah — the totalitarian, supremacist politico-military-legal program practiced in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and increasingly elsewhere. The prospect that the most populous Arab nation — one that sits astride the strategic Suez Canal and has a vast American-supplied arsenal — is heading in such an ominous direction is made all the more remarkable since evidence continues to accumulate that the Obama administration has been enabling the rise of the Ikhwan (as the Muslim Brotherhood, or MB, is known in Arabic). Consider a few data points: • In May 2009, President Obama insisted that MB representatives be prominently in attendance when he addressed “the Muslim world” at Cairo’s Al-Azhar University. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has observed, the message of American legitimization of the Brotherhood was unmistakable. • Wikileaked cables make clear that the U.S. government was working with Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition parties to bring down the Mubarak government long before the so-called “Arab Spring” of 2011. • Within days of demonstrations erupting in Tahrir Square and elsewhere in Egypt, President Obama was calling for his Egyptian counterpart’s immediate removal from power — the sort of statement he has studiously refrained from making in Frank Gaffney, Jr. Iran or Syria where demonstrations have gone on longer, and been far more bloodily repressed. The cumulative effect of such actions has been to encourage events and a vacuum of power that predictably would redound primarily to the benefit of the most organized, disciplined and ruthless faction. In Egypt — as in much of the Muslim world — that is the Muslim Brotherhood. It seems that Team Obama’s enthusiasm for the Ikhwan in Egypt is neither an isolated event nor an accident. As the Center for Security Policy’s recently released Shariah: The Threat to America illuminates, the Brotherhood has since 1963 operated a growing number of front organizations tasked with mounting highly effective influence operations in the United States. According to the MB’s own strategic plan, their mission here is “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within." In the past week, we have been given chilling insights into the success of such operations by Justice Department officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to one of Shariah: The Threat’s co-authors, counter-terrorism expert Patrick Poole.

According to one DoJ source, the reason the U.S. Attorney in Dallas was not allowed to pursue the planned indictment of MB individuals and entities previously listed as Unindicted CoConspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial was “a political decision from the get-go.” The source added: “The administration would look like absolute fools. It’s kind of hard to prosecute someone on material support for terrorism when you have pictures of them getting handed awards from DoJ and FBI leaders for their supposed counter-terror efforts.” This act of what appears, at best, to be obstruction of justice may not be an isolated incident. In his April 16 column at National Review Online, Andy McCarthy surmises that the suppression of the Holy Land 2.0 prosecution and the absence subsequently of any similar efforts to stop material support for terrorism could have their roots in the President’s 2009 paean to Islamists and other Muslims in Cairo. On that occasion, Mr. Obama promised to ease U.S. “rules on charitable giving [that] have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obliga- tion” of zakat (or tithing). Yet, McCarthy rightly notes the only “rules” that might fit that description are ones prohibiting funding of terrorism — a “charitable” contribution shariah requires its adherents to make — and it appears that Team Obama no longer will enforce them. If there is any good news, it is that Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) last week became the latest congressional leader to launch a series of hearings aimed at examining the Muslim Brotherhood, abroad and here. In an interview on Secure Freedom Radio Monday, she made clear her intention to have the Terrorism Subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee clarify the true nature of the Ikhwan and to explore, if necessary in classified sessions, its successes in penetrating and influencing our government. Chairman Myrick said, “I am very concerned how this is all playing out internally....This something that most people don’t have a clue...it’s not on their radar screen....This will undermine our way of life if we don’t get a handle on it.” It is indeed time to “get a handle” on the Muslim Brotherhood and the threat it poses to “our way of life." The place to start is with rigorous congressional investigations of the Ikhwan’s myriad front organizations and the effectiveness of their influence operations in warping our understanding of the threat they pose and in thwarting our efforts to defeat it.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution When traveling to other states to conduct workshops or give presentations, I often feel compelled to offer an explanation (if not an apology) for much of what has transpired of late in my home state of Arizona. One state that can relate to some of what we have seen here in the desert is Wisconsin, where I recently visited. The similarities are worth considering, and the lessons are instructive. You are probably already aware that Wisconsin has been the site of mass demonstrations against austerity measures being imposed by state officials. Specifically, the elimination of workers’ collective bargaining rights, cuts in funding for public education and teacher salaries, and other measures impacting peoples’ healthcare and pensions has triggered a push-back on a scale that hasn’t been seen in the U.S. in decades. At the same time, popular uprisings have been running rampant across the Middle East, including most notably in Egypt where an autocratic ruler was deposed by public pressure. The coincidence of these events has not been lost on many commentators and scholars, and an incipient global narrative of “people power challenging authoritarianism” has been steadily taking hold. Arizona has seen some of this as well, with movements contesting anti-immigrant measures, cuts to education, and other social and economic retrenchments. What makes an uprising “popular” in the sense of having “people power”? First, it will often include a broad coalition of movement actors seeking both economic justice and political democratization. Second, its aims will transcend single-issue reforms (although these may still be present within the larger movement), instead embodying a systemic critique and addressing the fundamental way of life that exists within the given society. Finally, in contrast with the Tea Party-type “populist” movements in the U.S., popular uprisings generally are grounded in human solidarity and universal emancipation. These contrasting values and potentials indicate an emerging cultural contest, both in the U.S. and around the world. On the one hand there is a perspective suggesting that the solution to economic problems is deep cuts to public infrastructure and spending programs, oftentimes coupled with a political ideology that blames poor and/or marginalized people for the downturn. On the other side of the coin are workingand middle-class sectors arguing for the right to a livelihood, education for their children, reasonable health benefits, and a viable voice in governance. On a broader scale, including the national and international frames, the conflict is really one of plutocracy versus democracy. In recent years we’ve seen unprecedented bailouts for the corporate elite coupled with a narrowing of benefits and opportunities for everyone else. These same forces have effectively taken the reins of governmental and economic systems, granting for themselves legal rights and political powers well beyond those held by individuals and communities. The theory being plied here, which directly impacts life in places like Wisconsin and Arizona, is an updated version of the “trickle-down” policies of a bygone day. Rather than taking public resources and using them to seed the grassroots and sustain the lives of working people, monies instead fill the coffers of corporations and wealthy individuals through myriad subsidies and other forms of clandestine corporate welfare. Like Wisconsin, Arizona is a stark case, coupling major corporate tax breaks with the evisceration of public programs in the name of a fictitious “recovery.” The result is a widening gap between rich and poor, decreased worker productivity, increased hostilities across race and class lines, and a militarized economy that consumes disproportionate resources. Ayn Rand acolytes and pro-market ideologues continue to advocate a disingenuous approach that ignores the vast upward redistribution of wealth and power in America and elsewhere. I was recently asked during a public lecture what I thought of free-market capitalism, and in response I paraphrased Gandhi’s take on Western Civilization: “It might be a good idea to give it a try.” The winds of change are blowing, east and west and north and south. The questions before us now are whether popular movements can be sustained in the face of the heavy-handed response being mounted by entrenched interests, and whether a destructive all-out conflict can be averted and a path to mutual engagement found. “There’s class warfare, all right,” Warren Buffett said in 2006, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” Despite his refreshing candor, I believe Buffett was wrong. This war, like most others, is likely to be one where everyone winds up losing in the end.

Ohio River had already flooded the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park by Wednesday afternoon though the NWS predicts the water will crest at 37.3 feet on Thursday, three feet below flood stage at 40 feet. As of Wednesday afternoon, the water level at Point Pleasant was already at 34.48 feet. High water at the RC Byrd Locks and Dam wasn’t expected to go into flood stage, according to the NWS. The Ohio River was predicted to crest at 43.2 feet Thursday, nearly seven feet below flood stage which is 50 feet. All these crest predictions are subject to change with more rain anticipated for the weekend. The NWS predicts a chance of showers Thursday night and chances of showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend. from Page A1 Ohio, the ODPS has kicked off its Ride SMART motorcycle safety campaign this week to reduce motorcycle deaths and injuries. Motorcycle Ohio (MO), part of ODPS’ Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS), led the Ride SMART campaign in 2009 to raise awareness for motorcycle safety. The campaign addresses all aspects of motorcycle safety, including: Ride Motorcycle Endorsed. Ride Alert. Use the Right Gear. Ride Trained. Ride SMART. “It is vital that we not only continue the Ride SMART motorcycle safety campaign, but also continue working with our traffic safety partners on education, enforcement and engineering efforts to reduce motorcycle deaths and injuries,” said ODPS Director Thomas P. Charles. “We need to have a safe riding season this year.” According to ODPS, partners of the Ride SMART campaign will reach out to as many motorcyclists and motorists as possible to remind them that everyone plays a critical role in motorcycle safety. MO is working with state and local partners including the Ohio Department of Transportation, the American Motorcyclist Association, American Bikers Aimed Towards Education, Safe Communities, law enforcement and other safety partners to get the message out to riders and motorists alike. MO and its partners will be working to continue these messages across the state during the entire riding season. A statement by the ODPS goes on to say components of the campaign include: Distributing materials with safety messages at bars and establishments that host “Bike Nights,” working with local law enforcement, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Safe Communities, offering various training classes, airing public service announcements with safety messages directed toward motorists and motorcyclists, funding high-visibility enforcement to discourage high-risk behaviors like drinking and riding, and working with as many partners as possible to get the word out to share the road, watch for motorists and Ride SMART.

The post-season gets underway on Friday as Rio Grande will host St. Catharine College in a best-of-three Play-In series. Rio Grande (28-21, 13-12 MSC), the No. 3 seed from the Eastern Division, brings experience to this year’s tournament after last season’s Mid-South Conference tournament championship and a berth in the NAIA National Tournament. Rio Grande head coach Brad Warnimont knows that the post-season is a completely different animal than the rigors of the regular season and believes his team will be ready for the challenge. “It’s a whole new season, we’re starting fresh,” he said. “It’s one of those things, that at the end of the season it’s a grind and it’s whole new start and it’s nice that we’re playing at home and we’re going to go out there and do what we have to do and get it going.” The RedStorm stum- bled a bit down the stretch, losing five of their last seven games, but Warnimont is not too concerned about that heading into the series this weekend. “Playing those last two series on the road were big, we’ve got to get it going here at home and being the fact that we’re the higher seed and we’ve got an opportunity to host, I think that should play a factor,” he said. “Our guys will be sleeping in their own beds and eating on campus and those types of things, so I think that’s one of the benefits of hosting.” “In nine-inning ballgames, anything can happen and we’ve got to get out there and it’s a grind and hopefully we can get in a good vein and see where it goes,” Warnimont added. Rio Grande has been a strong team at home this season, sporting a 14-5 record at Bob Evans Field. Warnimont does not put a lot of stock in the fact that Rio Grande is the defending MSC Tournament champion and says his team will not take anything for granted. “Last year’s club is last year’s club, this year’s club has to prove their own identity,” Warnimont said. “We’re in a situation where we’ve got that opportunity, but it’s going to be one game at a time.” “It’s a three-game set, (we’re going to proceed) one game at a time,” he added. “We’ve got to get to the conference tournament, we’re not going to overlook anything and look past anyone. We’ve got to get it done, one inning at a time, one at-bat at a time and one pitch at a time.” The RedStorm have used a nice blend of speed and power this season as senior first baseman Francisco Ramirez has provided the bulk of the power with seven home runs and 38 RBI’s, leading the club in both categories. Senior rightfielder Michael Lynch, senior shortstop Brad Konrad, senior centerfielder Ryan Weaver and sophomore second baseman Kyle Perez provide the speed. All four players have reached double figures in stolen bases and all four have at least 25 runs scored on the season. From the pitching side, two hurlers that were very important last year for Rio Grande must rise to the occasion again in 2011 in senior Desmond Sullivan and sophomore Ryan Robertson. Sullivan has a 6-5 record with a respectable 2.71 earned run average and 92 strikeouts. Robertson has been fighting off a sophomore jinx, posting a 5-7 record with a 4.96 ERA with 48 strikeouts for the season. St. Catharine (28-241, 12-14 MSC) is the No. 4 seed from the Western Division. The Patriots have a solid offensive club as a .307 team batting average would indicate. SCC pitching is not as strong as Rio’s, but lefthander Josh Jillson has proven to be formidable on the hill. Rio won the season series with St. Catharine, three games to one. Game One is set for Friday at 3 p.m. Game Two will be Saturday at 11 a.m. and Game Three, if necessary, will be played at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Blue Angels blank Chesapeake behind Pelfrey BY STEVE EBERT SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL CHESAPEAKE, Ohio — Freshman Violet Pelfrey made her varsity debut in the pitching circle for Gallipolis a memorable one as she shut out the Lady Panthers on two hits in an 11-0 five inning mercy ruling win. She becomes the third pitcher to record a victory this season for Coach Jim Niday’s undefeated Blue Angels (12-0, 6-0) as earlier Meghan Thacker also notched her first varsity win over Meigs and of course Heather Ward is the workhorse of the staff with 10 wins herself. The youngster demonstrated a lot of poise as Chesapeake (18) loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the second on a double by Anna Mayo, a hit batsmen, and a walk, but she stiffened, getting Taylor Riggs to pop up to third, and closing out the threat when Hannah Cunningham ran down a long fly to center off the bat of Sarah Mayo. In the third, the Lady Panthers threatened Pelfrey Shriver once more getting runners on second and third with two out without benefit of a hit, but after a GAHS infield error on a dropped pop fly, the would be scorer from third was nailed at the plate Morgan Leslie to Mattie Lanham. The only thing left for Pelfrey was to show that she could seal the deal, and in the bottom of the fifth she allowed a single to right center by Sarah Rice to open the frame, but then the Angel infield went to work behind her recording consecutive outs on infield ground ball fielder’s choices to end the game. GAHS did most of their scoring in the second and fifth innings; plating five runs both times. In the second, Lanham led off with a walk followed by a Claudia Farney infield bloop single, a Kanessa Snyder bunt single, and an RBI single to left off the bat of Amanda McGhee. Cunningham then was credited with an RBI when she coaxed a bases loaded walk, and Kari Campbell cleared the bases with a 2 run single; a third run coming in on an error by the left fielder. 5 runs on 4 hits and I Peake error and it was 5-0 after an inning and a half. The Angels showed a little two out thunder in the fourth, when after the first two had been retired, Courtney Shriver singled to right center and Leslie doubled to the fence in left center to make it 6-0. The final GAHS rally in the fifth included a walk to Farney, an attempted sacrifice by Snyder who reached on a Lady Panther throwing error and a walk to McGhee which loaded the bases. Cunningham singled to short left driving in Farney, and after the first out had been recorded, Shriver cleared the bases with her second hit of the game; a double to make it 10-0. With two out, Ward then doubled home Shriver for the final run of the afternoon. Shriver led the Blue Angel hit parade going 2-4 with two runs scored and three RBIs. Cunningham and Campbell each drove in a pair, both going 1-3. Sarah Rice and Anna Mayo had the only two hits for the Purple and White. Pelfrey went the distance, allowing 0 runs on 2 hits. She struck out 2 and walked 6. Macy Allen took the complete game loss for Peake, surrendering 11 runs (10 earned) on 9 hits while sriking out 2 and walking 7. The Angels returned home on Wednesday for an SEOAL game with Marietta, then traveled to Chillicothe on Thursday for a make up game with the Lady Cavs. GALLIA ACADEMY 11, CHESAPEAKE 0 Gallia Academy 050 15 — 11 9 1 Chesapeake 000 00 — 0 2 2 GALLIA ACADEMY (12-0): Violet Pelfrey and Mattie Lanham.

(AP) — Massachusetts is coming to the Mid-American conference. The school says its football team, currently part of the lower-tier Championship Subdivision, says it will join the MAC starting with the 2012 season. The year after that, the Minutemen will be eligible to play in the conference title game and bowls. In 2011, they’ll stay in the Colonial Athletic Association, which they last won in 2007. The Minutemen won’t be eligible for the postseason, however. The Minutemen will play home games at the home of the NFL’s Patriots, 90 miles from its campus in Amherst. Most MAC schools are in the Midwest, largely Ohio and Michigan. Buffalo and Temple, from Philadelphia, are also in the league.

The host Big Blacks took advantage of their depth in winning the boys team title by six points over runner-up Huntington, while the Lady Dots of Poca took advantage of an extra West Virginia event to come away with a narrow one point victory over Eastern in the girls division. The Point boys won two events and scored a team total of 102 points, which was just enough to fend off Huntington (96) for the title. HHS had a meet-best five event champions, but couldn’t overcome the Big Blacks’ overall efforts in placing in the top-six. Poca was next with four individual crowns and Eastern had three event wins. Buffalo and Ravenswood also won two individual titles apiece. Wahama placed sixth in the boys meet with 39 points, while Eastern was seventh with 36 points. South Gallia (11) and Hannan (2) rounded out the 10-team field in ninth and 10th, respectively. The Point Pleasant quartet of Cody Devault, Marquez Griffin, Preston Rairden and Zach Canterbury won the 4x100m relay title with a POINT PLEASANT’S NOAH SEARLS CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Kyle Connery also won the 800m run with a time of 2:06.00. The difference in the girls competition came down to the shuttle hurdles relay, which is an event not ran in the state of Ohio. The Poca girls won that race for 10 team points, while Eastern did not enter a team in the event. That 10-point swing allowed the Lady Dots to score 131 team points, finishing just one points ahead of the Lady Eagles (130). Point Pleasant was third overall with 88 points in the eight-team field, while Wahama was fifth with 44 points. South Gallia was eighth overall with four team markers. Eastern won seven of the 18 events to lead the ladies field, while Poca had five titles.
