STAFF REPORT POMEROY — The Meigs County Democratic Party and over a dozen unions and allied organizations will collect signatures at a day-long petition drive Saturday as part of a statewide effort to place Senate Bill 5 on the November ballot. Senate Bill 5 was recent- ly passed by the Ohio Sate Legislature and limits bargaining rights for public employees, including public school teachers and support staff such as bus drivers and custodians, psychiatric nurses at state hospitals, police officers and firefighters. SB5 is being contested by both public and private unions throughout Ohio as well as the Ohio Democratic Party. Representatives from local chapters of AFSCME, OAPSE, OEA, SEIU, OCSEA, and AFLCIO-CLC will be joined by Meigs County Democrats, Organizing for America, We Are Ohio, and other groups in the event to be held at the river parking lot gazebo, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Petitions are currently circulated throughout the state of Ohio. More than 200,000 registered voters must sign from at least 44 counties. Each county must have valid signatures from at least 3% of the voter turnout in the 2010 November election.

REED police, $38,000 annually (the rate was $33,000 annually); village administrator, $47,850 annually (the rate is currently $47,850 annually); waste water operator, $36,400 annually (the rate is currently $36,400 annually); all officers in the Pomeroy Police Department will receive a 75 cent raise with captains going to $12.57 per hour, sergeants going to $11.43 per hour, corporals going to $11.10 per hour and patrolmen and the code enforcement position going to $10.98 per hour; full-time dis- MIDDLEPORT — The president of Middleport Village Council said she is “very, very worried” about the village’s financial condition and the future of village services, and the mayor and fiscal officer also sounded alarms relating to budget issues Monday evening. At its regular meeting, council voted to extinguish around 130 of the 251 street lights in town, and to turn off dusk to dawn lights in parks, in a latest effort to trim expenses. The decision to turn off the lights will save the village an estimated $2,000 in general fund expense, Fiscal Officer Susan Baker said. The police will assist Mayor Michael Gerlach and others in the village in determining which lights are least necessary to public safety, he said. In the same collective breath, council also gave final approval to the layoff of police officer Ben Davidson, and the transfer of another police officer, Mony Wood, to a full-time public works position. The layoffs and a general reduction in hours for police officers are another step in reducing costs. Council reduced the position of the cook and custodian to part-time, and voted to suspend a raise for police officers that would have taken effect later this year. It would have been the second in a two-year payraise approved last year. “Cutting hours for police officers is a scary step backwards,” Gerlach said at the conclusion of the vote. Even more cuts are likely as the village tries to make it through the year. They hope a new jail will generate enough revenue, beginning next year, to at least maintain services even if they cannot be increased. Village officials are pinning hopes on two tax levies, one a two-mill additional tax for street lights and the renewal of a three-mill levy for operating expenses. A similiar levy was defeated last year, and if this one does not pass, the situation will be dire, said Moore, who also serves as chairman of the finance committee. For example, it will be necessary to turn off all street lights, she said Monday. Council also: • Approved a contract with the Gallia County Sheriff, at a rate of $50 per day, for space in the Middleport jail. See Raisers, A5 See Council, A5 Brian J.

The walk will occur on Saturday and the money raised in the two-mile walk will be used to support a special project, purchase of ultrasound equipment, and other work of the Center. It is one of three area walks to take place this weekend. Headquarters for the local walk will be at the Pomeroy First Baptist church on East Main Street. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. with the walk on the path along the river to start at 9 a.m. It will begin on the path just across the road from the church near the area where the drinking fountain is located. From there the walkers will travel up river for a mile and then back down a mile to the starting point, rain or shine. Those planning to participate in the Walk for Life can contact local chairman Al Hartson at 992-2914 or 992-6168 for additional information and/or instructions. Those participating in the walk are asked to get pledges from their supporters in advance of the walk. All of the money raised will go directly to the work of the Pregnancy Resource Center. efforts in more rural Southeastern counties such as Meigs, Vinton, Athens, and Hocking are increasing in order to collect the required number of signatures before the June 30 deadline. Petitions for residents of Vinton and Athens counties will also be available. POMEROY — While Middleport Village Council was voting to dim the lights and layoff a police officer, just up river, Pomeroy Village Council was approving pay raises for employees which become effective June 1. Despite some dire news from the clerk-treasurer that Pomeroy was overspending its general fund by nearly $20,000 a month, council approved the third and final reading of the pay ordinance at Monday’s regular meet- ing of village council. Voting for the raises were Councilmen Jackie Welker, Jim Sisson, Pete Barnhart, Vic Young and Phil Ohlinger. Councilwoman Ruth Spaun abstained due to having a family member employed by the village. Before the vote, Mayor John Musser announced villages receiving less than $500,000 from the state of Ohio in revenue each year would not receive state budget cuts — this means Pomeroy’s state funding will remain consistent, at least for the next budget cycle. Then, Spaun asked if the finance committee had met, with Welker, Barnhart and Ohlinger saying they had and though Welker acknowledged “things are always (financially) tough here,” the committee was committed to finding money for the raises. Barnhart said in terms of layoffs, they may happen whether the raises are given or not but he believed the village could get through the year given no cuts in state funding and asking department heads to “economize” when it comes to cutting overtime where possible. The new pay ordinance reads as follows: Chief of �Wednesday, May 11, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Meigs County academic achievers honored Community Calendar Public meetings Thursday, May 12 WELLSTON – The GJMV Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors will meet in regular session on May 12, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. at the district office, 1056 S.

CENTER FOR SECURITY POLICY Surprisingly, on net, last week was not a good one for the Free World. Despite the signal accomplishment of liquidating Osama bin Laden, Western civilization suffered serious reverses on several fronts. What these reverses all have in common is a deference to the doctrine our enemies’ call “shariah,” in a manner they perceive to be acts of “submission.” Such behavior is exceedingly dangerous, as it invites our foes to redouble their efforts to make us, in the words of the Koran, “feel subdued.” For instance, consider the aftermath of SEAL Team 6’s extraordinary take-down of bin Laden. What ensued was nothing less than a debacle as President Obama’s political appointees kept changing their accounts of what had happened. As one wag put it, “Osama bin Laden died and we got 72 versions.” The subtext was of an administration effort desperately trying not to give offense to our adversaries. Yet, they and our friends could only have felt reaffirmed in their already dim view of what passes for American leadership under Mr. Obama. Then, there was the unctuous effort to dispose of bin Laden’s body in strict “conformance to Islamic practice.” The fastidious cleansing and wrapping of the body, the 40-minute ceremony and the burial at sea conjure up images of an America treating one of its most psychopathic enemies as a legitimate, even revered figure. Islam scholar Andrew Bostom raises the question whether such rites actually included shariah-conforming denunciations of Christians and Jews? Either way, this exercise was a pathetic act of appeasement. Next, the President announced that he had decided not to release the dead jihadist’s photo. As with the handling of bin Laden’s burial, the justification given was concern that the picture’s dissemination would only inspire more violence against us and our forces overseas. The truth of the matter is that the more we signal our fear of the violence of shariah-adherent Muslims, the more certain it is to be visited upon us. Meanwhile, on Tuesday an appeals court in Denmark convicted one of Western civilization’s most courageous defenders — Lars Hedegaard, president of the International Free Press Society. His crime? He gave offense to Muslims. Yes, that’s right, a Danish judicial panel effectively enforced shariah blasphemy law. In the process, the court violated one of the most cardinal pillars of freedom: the right to free speech. If allowed to stand, the ruling in the Hedegaard case will be used to abridge fundamental civil rights throughout Europe, and possibly far beyond. Yet, there has been remarkably little outcry about the defendant’s plight — most especially from journalists who have as much to lose as anybody. In this instance, as in the foregoing ones, the West is acting out of fear, lest our conduct become grounds for fresh violence. This is an enduring legacy of, among other things, the manufactured outrage and mayhem over the Danish cartoons a few years back. It gives ominous new meaning to the expression “Something is rotten in Denmark.” Unfortunately, our own judicial processes seem increasingly susceptible to Islamist intimidation, as well. Recently, counter-terrorism expert Patrick Poole published at Pajamas Media excerpts from an interview with an anonymous source high in the Obama Justice Department. These included an allegation that political appointees in that department had “quashed” a request by prosecutors to pursue individuals and organizations listed as unindicted co-conspirators in the nation’s largest terrorism financing trial: United States v. the Holy Land Foundation. According to Poole’s insider, the problem was that the administration stood to be embarrassed if this prosecution went forward. After all, the defendants associated with Muslim Brotherhood fronts like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) would assuredly have tried to use their close ties with government officials and agencies to avoid the convictions and pun- ishments meted out to the first five Holy Land conspirators. The plot thickened last week. Shortly before Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill, the prosecutor in the Holy Land case, U.S. Attorney Jim Jacks, told the Dallas Morning News that there was no political interference from “the Attorney General or the White House” leading to a decision not to prosecute CAIR. This directly contradicts not only Patrick Poole’s source but also House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-NY), who insisted that both prosecutors and FBI agents involved in the case had told him they had “vehement objections” to the “declination to prosecute” memo that came out of Washington. Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), himself a former judge and chief justice in the Texas court system, pointedly challenged the Attorney General during the latter’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Rep. Gohmert noted that it is a matter of record that Mr. Jacks had filed compelling briefs at both the federal district and appellate levels — and was upheld by both courts — in his position that there were sufficient grounds to treat CAIR and others as co-conspirators with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. The AG claimed unconvincingly to be unfamiliar with the particulars. We need to stand up against shariah, not submit to it — at home or abroad. We must demonstrate that we are, to use bin Laden’s term, the “stronger horse,” by touting our victories and power, and not convey the opposite impression by obscuring or apologizing for them. And we must see the paperwork that precipitated the declination to prosecute CAIR and its Muslim Brotherhood friends — and then get on with putting them out of business. (Frank J.

There has been almost nothing in the mainstream press that examines his motivations for terrorism. We prefer a bogeyman of pure evil, because this does not require the kind of introspection suggested by the Society of Friends: what is it in my own inner condition, or that of my country, that might play a part in leading to a phenomenon like Osama? In an extensive 2002 letter to the American people printed in the British publication the Observer, Osama laid out his specific justifications for horrific violence against innocents. He began by citing passages from the Koran that give permission to Islamists to fight “disbelievers.” Immediately this sets up a pathological context, because it contains what philosophers call a performative contradiction: he proclaims Islam as a universal religion, but his vision is radically exclusivist. His illusion is that a universal God is on the side of pure Islam against impure or nonIslamists. But similar rationalizations for counterviolence undergird U.S. actions, often based in a Christianity, which, like Osama’s warped version of Islam, all too casually discards Jesus’ radical non-violence. Jesus, whom Islam accepts as an authentic prophet, took great pains to avoid “us and them” thinking in his parables and teachings. He said that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, and that you cannot separate the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution wheat from the tares (weeds). In other words, be very cautious about making fallible human judgments about who around you is good and who is evil. Instead of blaming others, look at yourself first. Osama goes on in his letter to say that he and his colleagues are fighting the U.S. because the U.S. is attacking them, specifically by supporting Israel against Palestine. He is explicit in his hatred of Jews: to him the creation of Israel is a crime, and he implies no willingness to accept a more inclusive, multi-cultural vision of the region’s future. And he calls for revenge. The world has partaken liberally of this great universal response to conflict and violence. Our decision to assassinate him was not an act of restorative justice. Letting him live would not have brought back to life those who perished on 9/11. It was an act of retributive, consciously decided, cold-minded revenge. In the intent eyes of our heads of government as they followed the actions of the Navy Seals, eyes that included a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, it was possible to see the blindness of an eye for an eye that makes the whole world blind. What a pity that we must look beyond the mainstream for models of authentic maturity — to those who lost relatives on 9/11 and yet refuse to continue the cycle and want instead to expend their energy building something new. To the Palestinian doctor Ezzeldeen Abu alAish, who lost three daughters to an Israeli shell, and has dedicated his life not to revenge but to reconciliation. Our planetary misery and fear will never be decreased by revenge. Revenge is built into the very deterrence which rationalizes the possession of massive nuclear arsenals. On that level of potential destruction we experience the mother of all performative contradictions: a revengecycle that could kill us all, as it very nearly did in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and could again if, say, India and Pakistan were to fall into the omnicidal trap of a full nuclear exchange, lunging the world into nuclear winter. Not all of Osama’s justifications for violence were based in irrational fantasies of the revenge of “us” upon “them.” He raised more valid issues, like our military bases girding the world, or the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq as the result of our sanctions, or our double standards about whom we allow to have nuclear weapons and whom we do not — issues that have also been raised by patriotic and loyal Americans in and out of government. Yes, we may have gained a superficial kind of closure by killing Osama. But we lost an opportunity to put him on trial, which could have been the beginning of a deeper dialogue about the futility of revenge on all sides, and a much greater step toward reducing terrorism than assassinations — let alone trillion-dollar wars of revenge.

Drug plea nets 2 years in prison for Mason Co. man BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — A Point Pleasant, W.Va., man was recently sentenced in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas on drug-related charges. Robert P. Gallo, 39, was sentenced to two years of imprisonment in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction on Monday after pleading guilty to one count trafficking in drugs, a fourth degree felony, and one count of drug possession, a fifth degree felony. The indictment in this case alleges that on Aug. 4, 2010, Gallo sold or offered to sell one Oxycontin tablet, was in the possession of said table, prepared 14.5 Oxycontin tablets for sale or resale and was in the possession of said tablets on the day in question. On May 9, Gallo pleaded guilty to counts one and four of the indictment and was subsequently sentenced to 12 months of imprisonment for drug trafficking and 12 months of imprisonment for drug possession. In addition to his prison sentence, Gallo’s operator’s license was suspend- ed for two years and he was further ordered to forfeit $760 to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, as said cash was used in the commission of the offenses. Gallo also may be subject to a period of up to three years of post-release control and was ordered to pay the court costs. The defendant was given credit for 11 days served. Gallipolis woman headed to prison BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County woman was recently sentenced in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas after her community control was revoked. Katrina Toles, 23, Gallipolis, was sentenced to a total of 4 years and 11 months in the Ohio Reformatory for Women in two separate common pleas cases. Toles was originally sentenced to 24 months of community control on March 17, 2010, after she pleaded guilty to one count of harassment with bodily substances in her first case and one count of attempted felonious assault in her second case. According to the indictment in her first case, on May 15, 2009, Toles, being a person confined in a detention facility, knowingly caused or attempted to cause a deputy with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office to come in contact with a bodily substance. In the defendant’s second case, the indictment states that on Aug. 14, The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 2009, Toles attempted to cause physical harm to the victim by means of a lockblade knife. On Jan. 24, 2011, community control violations were filed with the court after Toles tested positive for drugs on three occasions, failed to report to her probation officer as ordered, did not pay court costs and failed to pay the supervision fee. In March 2011, Toles failed to appear in the common pleas court for a preliminary hearings on alleged community control violations in both of her common pleas cases. A warrant was issued for the defendant’s arrest and she was later arrested on April 19. On May 4, Toles’ community control was revoked and she was sentenced to 11 months imprisonment in her first case for harassment with bodily substances and four years in her second case for attempted felonious assault. The sentences in her two respective cases were ordered to be served consecutively. Toles was given credit for 40 days served. Wednesday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Obama, meeting with the leaders of a large official Chinese delegation, voiced his concerns about the situation in China, the White House said in a statement. The president "underscored his support for the universal human rights of freedom of expression and worship and of access to information and political participation," the White House said in a statement after Obama's meeting with Vice Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo. Obama's comments came after Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had argued earlier Monday that China's security crackdown, the largest in years, threatened the country's long-term stability which the U.S. side said depended on a respect for human rights. The world's two biggest economies clashed over America's massive trade deficit with China. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said it would be in China's selfinterest to allow its currency to appreciate at a faster rate and allow Chinese consumer interest rates to rise. The stronger yuan and higher Chinese interest rates would help boost domestic demand and help lower America's trade deficit, which hit an alltime high with China last year. But a Chinese official blamed U.S. policies for the ballooning trade gap. Commerce Minister Chen Deming told a news conference that China's currency appreciation was being carried out in a "very healthy manner." He said the United States needed to change its own policies on high-tech sales and investment as a way to spur American manufacturing. The sparing occurred as the two nations began two days of talks aimed at addressing disputes in foreign policy and economic areas under discussions that began in 2006 during the Bush administration. Both countries hoped to use the Strategic and Economic Dialogue discussions to further ease tensions that had been inflamed by last year's U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and American unhappiness over a rising U.S. trade deficit with China at a time of high U.S. unemployment. The dispute over human rights threatened to overshadow other issues at this week's meeting which comes three months after Obama served as host to Chinese President Hu Jintao during a state visit to Washington in January. In recent months, Chinese authorities have pursued a crackdown that has involved a large number of arrests of lawyers, activists, journalists and bloggers. The crackdown was widely viewed as a Chinese response to forestall any Middle East-style democracy protests. During the opening ceremony, Biden said that Obama believed strongly that protecting fundamental rights and freedoms was "the best way to promote the long-term stability of any society." Clinton said that China's actions on human rights had an impact beyond its own borders, including triggering a domestic political backlash in the United States. Dai said in his opening remarks that China had made progress in the area of human rights, but he did not discuss the recent security crackdown. This year's talks for the first time included highlevel military leaders from both nations, a move seen as a way to defuse tensions and increase understanding between military commanders. Clinton said the inclusion of top military leaders was needed to reduce "dangerous risks of misunderstanding and miscalculation." China's military has expanded rapidly in the past 15 years, deploying missiles and naval assets that could challenge American supremacy in the region. The talks, which will wrap up Tuesday with news conferences, were started by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson as a way to bring pressure to bear on China on the currency issue. The Obama administration expanded the discussions in 2009 to include foreign policy concerns. China is facing threats of U.S. economic sanctions on goods shipped to America unless Beijing halts trade practices such as its currency undervaluation. U.S. critics believe that violates global trade rules. For their part, the Chinese, who are America's largest foreign creditor with $1.2 trillion in holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, are seeking assurances that Congress and the administration will resolve their differences and boost the U.S. borrowing limit before an August deadline. At that time, Geithner has said, Treasury will run out of maneuvering room to pay America's bills, including interest payments on U.S. debt. In the opening economic discussions, Geithner said that a top priority would be encouraging China to adopt a more flexible currency and more open capital markets. He said that the United States would pursue financial sector reforms that would "put more money in the pockets of Chinese consumers" as a way to boost further Chinese domestic demand for foreign-made products. U.S. briefers have said that the United States would like to see China relax controls on the amount of interest that Chinese savers can earn, a move that would provide Chinese households with more money.

NEW YORK — Corporate deals and strong earnings have been credited with driving stocks higher this year — and Tuesday saw a bit of each. The biggest news, that Microsoft Inc. said it would buy Internet telephone service Skype for $8.5 billion in cash, is another sign that cashrich companies are starting to spend. Corporations built up a record amount of cash over the last several years, and they have started using it to purchase rivals, pay dividends and also expand their businesses. That, in turn, has led to increased confidence among money managers and other investors that stocks are going to continue to rise. Large companies also want to put their cash stockpiles to work because they're getting minimal returns on them, said Oliver Pursche, president of Gary Goldberg Financial Services. Interest rates for shortterm savings pay less than 1 percent. "The crisis is behind us," he said. Companies "don't need this much cash anymore." Microsoft had $50.15 billion in cash and shortterm investments at the end of March. The Skype purchase would be Microsoft's largest in its 36-year history. It follows AT&T Inc.'s announcement in March that it would buy T-Mobile USA for $39 billion and Johnson & Johnson's $21.3 billion deal announced last month to acquire Synthes, a maker of medical instruments and implants. 507 Mulberry Heights, Pomeroy, OH FRIDAY, MAY 13 • 9:00-noon � ������ �Page A6 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, May 11, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com �Wednesday, May 11, 2011 P O L I C I E S  Ohio Valley Publishing reserves the right to edit, reject or cancel any ad at any time. ¾Errors Must Be Reported on the first day of publication and the TribuneSentinel-Register will be responsible for no more than the cost of the space occupied by the error and only the first insertion.
