OBITUARIES Page A6 • Frances Cady • Steven Jordan • Floyd Knapp • David Smith • Arlene Taylor WEATHER FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Third robbery reported in Middleport neighborhood BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — A South Third Avenue woman awoke earlier this week to find a likely thief in her house. It was the third robbery to be reported in the neighborhood since Tuesday, Police Chief Bruce Swift said. Jennifer Davenport reported she awoke to find a man had entered her home at 226 S. Third Ave., early Tuesday morning. She said by the time she awoke her husband, the man had left the home and she was unable to provide information about the suspect to police. Two other homes were entered while the owners were away. The Courtney residence at 577 South Third was entered the same day as the Davenport home, and the Rue residence at 72 South Third was entered Wednesday. Swift said jewelry is all that was taken from any of the homes. Because the homes entered are all in the same neighborhood, Swift said, the suspect is likely very familiar with the homes, the neighborhood, and the comings and goings of the owners. Two of the homes were forcible entered, Swift said. Another was unlocked and access was easy. “It is very important that everyone remember to keep their entries locked, to keep their cars locked, and to keep property, like bicycles and Planting pretty posies BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILY SENTINEL.COM POMEROY – Dozens of colorful impatiens now brighten up Pomeroy’s Mulberry Pond park where i m p r ove m e n t s continue to be made for the enjoyment of visitors.

Cruiser a gift from one community to another BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — One county’s surplus is another county’s much-appreciated asset. Sheriff Robert Beegle has taken delivery on a cruiser donated by Preble County Sheriff Michael Simpson and it will join the sheriff’s road fleet immediately. Beegle said he has 14 cars on the road now, but all of them have high mileage and many of them the maintenance issues that come with years of use. He has managed to replace cruisers through a state purchasing program since he was elected, and earlier this year, the county secured a grant to purchase its first new patrol car in a decade. Beeegle said the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser is almost ready to hit Meigs County’s roads right away. The light bar, siren, strobe lights, radio console, window security features and other equipment came with the car. Even the star decal has been changed to identify the car as a Meigs County cruiser. “All we have to do is install our radios and See Cruiser, A6 Sheriff Michael Simpson, Preble County Sheriff hands the keys to Sheriff Robert Beegleʼs “new” cruiser.

BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM REEDSVILLE — On the long list of interesting activities to take in this weekend in Meigs County, the 2011 Ohio Regional Pack and Cart Goat Rendezvous is definitely, well, interesting. Wendy Hannum, who lives near Long Bottom, has been organizing and will be hosting the “Rendezvous” which she calls a “rather unique sport/hobby event” starting Friday - Sunday at the group camp area at Forked Run State Park. Pack and cart goat enthusiasts from across the area will be converging on Forked Run this weekend for hiking, camping and a demonstration on this sport/hobby for the public on Saturday evening at the park. Park officials will be handing out fliers to campers on Saturday to promote the event. The demonstration will likely include a talk on what pack goating is all about, what types of harnesses, wagons and carts to use, etc. According to Hannum, any goat can be a packgoat, it isn’t a specific breed but not all goats are willing to work. The ideal packgoat is a willing, working, friendly, trained goat that hikes alongside humans while wearing a cross buck style saddle, to help carry the gear load of the human. A conditioned packgoat can carry up to one-third of it's body weight. Hannum said western elk and moose hunters will take a string of pack goats up to their hunt in order to use the goats to pack the meat back down the mountain. She explained the majority of American pack goating takes place in the mountainous regions of the western-most states in America. Enthusiasts talk with each other via the internet and annually gather to camp and hike, hold demonstrations, and carry out volunteer service projects with their working goats. Rendezvous' or "rendy'" for short, is much less See Goat, A6 other valuables, secured,” Swift said. “We are lucky to live in a community that feels safe, but it is still important to remember that crimes happen and everyone must take the necessary steps to protect their property.” Swift encouraged anyone with information about the crimes to contact the police department at 992-6424. Bowl Bash tradition continues ‘88 Bands of Anarchy’ promised BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RUTLAND — Starting Friday, skateboarding pilgrims will flock to the hills of Rutland Township for the 16th Annual Bowl Bash at Skatopia which promises “88 Bands of Anarchy.” Bowl Bash is an unofficial and offbeat tourist destination that “dare not speak its name” in the hallowed halls of officially sanctioned Meigs County events though it still brings in visitors who spend money here. This year’s event begins Friday well into Sunday morning with those 88 bands playing on three stages - bands like Nassau Chainsaw, Green Jelly The Snotty Kids, The Stink and The Cooties. It’s an annual weekend of music, skating and tired eyes watching the sun come up over a Rutland hollow. Yesterday, Brewce Martin (owner of Skatopia) and crew were busy preparing Skatopia for the bash and its pilgrims; pilgrims who have likely read the Rolling Stone spread or seen the documentary “88 Acres of Anarchy” and/or the MTV Skatopia True Life episode - and they want to know more. The True Life episode which was broadcast this past April, featured footage shot at last year’s Bowl Bash the episode was aired across the nation on the Emmy-award winning series, casting a light on a small but notorious corner of Meigs County. Myths, rumors and truths about the place aside, Martin has claimed his place “isn’t just a place to party” and that “99 percent of the time out here it’s just normal life going on.” Martin has also poked fun at the Skatopia stereotypes, saying it “isn’t full of poverty-ridden dirt bags” though he’s admitted it attracts a diverse population when it comes to those pilgrims who arrive at the gates. “This is the funny thing, there are all kinds of people here just like when you go to WalMart...you don’t know who you’re going to see,” Martin has said in the past. A complete list of bands can be found on Skatopia’s official website. �Friday, June 24, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Community Calendar 300 PHS alumni attend reunion Public meetings BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH Monday, June 27 RACINE — Southern Local Board of Education, regular meeting, 8 p.m., high school media room.

ATTEND CHURCH �Page A4 CHURCH NEWS Friday, June 24, 2011 Search the Scriptures A Hunger For More “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” It is likely that most homes in our community have a copy of the New Testament. Within its pages are found God’s commands for us today. Shortly before His death, after praying for His apostles [John 17:6,19], Jesus prayed for all who would believe on him through their word. Hear him: “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me” [17:20,21]. With thousands of groups trying to gather under the name “Christian,” it is clear Jesus’ prayer has been disregarded by those who say they want to follow Jesus’ commands. Jesus clearly states the result when all believers are one: “that the world may believe that You sent Me,” so division thwarts this result. Many “reasons” are given for the divided state of Christianity: “Each person should be able to worship as pleases him”; “Join the church of your choice [emphasis by writer]”; “God doesn’t say we can’t practice thus and so”; “God wants us to be happy.” As we read of the founding, the growth, and the spread of the Lord’s church in Acts through Revelation, one common thread is the oneness, the unity, of believers. “Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common …continuing daily with one accord; and the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” [Acts 2:44-47]. When disunity threatened, God rebuked those who were causing the contention: “…for it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” [1 Corinthians 1:10,11]. Further, God calls those who divide the Lord’s church “carnal,” and “babes in Christ”: “…for you are still carnal. For where there is envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” [1 Corinthians 3:3]. Division, whether it arises from within the Lord’s church or outside the church among those who say they want to follow Jesus, is a hallmark of immaturity. From Jesus’ announcement that He would build His church [Matthew 16:18], to the Acts’ revelation that His church was in existence and the Lord was adding the saved to it [Acts 2:47], down to today, the Lord’s church continues to teach the oneness of His church, pleading with all who respect Jesus’ prayer to lay aside man’s traditions, returning to believing, practicing, teaching, only what can be pointed to in the New Testament. This article closes with another message from Jesus: “Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men’” [Matthew 15:7-9; see also Mark 7:6-8; scriptures throughout this article from NKJV]. Bring your Bible, study the scriptures with the church of Christ, meeting at 234 Chapel Dr. [off Bulaville Rd]. The US Federal Witness Protection Program (or Witness Security Program, WITSEC) is a fascinating thing and has often served as a source of inspiration for movies and television programs. Instituted in 1970 as a measure to gather ammunition in the very difficult and protracted battle against organized crime (wherein viable witnesses were few and far between), it is the manner and means by which witnesses to crimes are spirited away to undisclosed locations where they are given a new last name (preferably with the same initial as their old one), a new home, and a new job. Thus armed with a new identity, the witness is shielded from intimidation (prior to trial of the accused) and retaliation (once the trial is over). The US Marshal Service indicates a conviction rate of 89 percent in trials in which its protected witnesses are key. Interestingly, only 17 percent of program participants with a criminal history prior to enrollment into the program are arrested and charged again for criminal acts. A vague but hopefully enlightening parallel exists in the Christian life. Men and women who have turned from their sin and placed their faith in Jesus Christ are themselves ushered into a program and process by which they are “relocated”, given new “identities”, and become “key witnesses” in a world that is amuck with the crime of sin (organized and unorganized). When you place your faith in Jesus and are made a child of God, you are “relocated” If you don't feel like you're getting the love you should get, then maybe you should ask yourself if you're giving the love you should give. Too often we look only at what other people are doing for us instead of what we are doing for them. However, the Bible instructs us to look out for the needs of one another, to look for ways to serve others, and to walk in love with each other. In John 13:34-35, Jesus commands us to love: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Love is so important, because every person needs love. People in the world are hungry for love; they're looking for a source of real, ATTEND THE CHURCH because you are “raised with Christ… and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1a, 3 NIV). You are moved out from the spiritual land of darkness and decay and now dwell spiritually in the light of God’s Son. You are also given a new identity but in a much more radical manner than is accomplished by WITSEC. No longer are you merely a “sinner”, a “doer of condemnable deeds” as well as an heir of condemnation, fully deserving of judgment. Instead you are made a “saint”, set free from the condemnation that Christ Jesus took upon Himself in your place, charged with holy living, and set free to do the works of blessing, virtue, and love. “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light” 1 Peter 2:9 NIV). So much more significant is this new identity than one offered by the Federal government. The US Marshal Service and the US Department of Justice’s Office of Enforcement Operations can give a new name but not a new heart. It can assign a new identity but it can- not transform your character. It can help you alter all the appearances of who you are, but it is incapable of changing who you are on the inside. One’s identity in Christ, however, truly makes a new man out of him. So it does not matter that your past hauntingly echoes failures, mistakes, and betrayals in your ears. No matter that your present circumstances scream at you that you are small and insignificant. No matter that the phantoms of fear taunt you about the uncertainty of the future. The guilt of your past is forgiven and cleansed, your present is overshadowed by the presence of your Heavenly Father, and your future is an invitation to walk with and experience God (see John 1:12-13 and Romans 8:28-30). “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:1214 NIV). As God effects in us this new identity, He also invites us to participate in confessing to the world His identity, His love, and His judgment against sin. As witnesses of the fact that His Son willingly laid His life down in our place to vindicate the holiness of God’s Law as well as lovingly given us the means by which we can escape His judgment, we are each commissioned to share with the world the hope that we have in Christ and the need of all men and women to also turn to Him. “Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans (those who do not know God) that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us” (1 Peter 2:11 NIV). “… You will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8 NIV). You and I are given a great opportunity to not only escape God’s judgment but to also be a catalyst for the salvation of others. If you have not yet been “enrolled” into God’s “Witness Protection Program”, be aware that you’re in great danger. But, in turning to Jesus, you are given an awesome hope, a new identity, and a job to do. If you have been brought into His spiritual family, remember that you are not saved merely for your own benefit, but for His glory and the benefit of others in your home, your community, and your world. Be a part of what God is doing and let Him reveal His love and power to you as you trust Him. genuine love. Proverbs 19:22 tells us that What a man desires is unfailing love. We, as Christians, have an opportunity to give that love, which the world desperately desires. So instead of wondering why you're not getting the love you should get, decide to give the love you should give. Are you so hungry to own more money that your money owns you? In Mark 10:17-22, we read the story of a man who asked Jesus, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" The man had followed all the commandments; however, Jesus told him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �FAITH & FAMILY Godly men are greatly needed BY PASTOR RON BRANCH One of the Psalmists recognized a great need with his generation. He wrote, “Help, Lord, for the Godly man ceases, for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” With a keen spiritual insight, the writer witnessed the increasing numbers of men who were not willing to be Godly and faithful. Burdened by it, he called out on God for help. This is similarly a pertinent prayer consideration for the churches of this postmodern generation. An honest introspection of the problems assailing society, the emphatic demotion in its various manifestations of the importance of family, and a lack of spiritual effectiveness by the church underscore in no small terms that the ranks of Godly and faithful men are shriveling. It is self-evident that Godly men are greatly needed. Godly men are greatly needed because Godly men are not self-centered but others-directed. Godly men are not focused just on the satisfaction of the loins to the exclusion of personal responsibility, duty, and love of the “agape,” selfgiving quality. Godly men exert a type of Scripture-based wisdom, which influences family and society for beneficent purposes. With what qualities shall a Godly man exert such influence that makes a significant difference in this postmodern generation? Practicing Biblebased morality is a starter. It is said about the man, Job, that he “eschewed evil.” In other Ron Branch words, he did not allow wrong and sinful behaviors to be a part of his life. He lived his life without the pitfalls of adultery, without the headaches and heartaches of alcoholism, and without lusts for the incomes of greed and avarice. A Godly man is a moral man who knows what is evil or good, or what is wrong or right, and purposes his life accordingly. Character is critical. But, what quality of character? The Bible says about one named, Barnabas, that he “was a good man.” It is clear from Scripture that “good” is a divine, qualitative description of God. “There is none good but God,” Christ affirmed. Yet, when Barnabas was said to be a good man, it was not to indicate that he was equal with God. Rather, it was because Barnabas exhibited such character that was characteristic of the good qualities of God. If there will be anything that effectively countermands the affects of evil in society, it will be Godly men who reflect the good qualities of God in their words and actions. A greatly needed Godly man greatly needs to be committed to a devotional life. In others words, Godly men are those who spend time with God. Another of the Psalmists prayed to God, “Open thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” A man who will be the man God wants him to be will a man who familiarizes himself with not only the Word of God but with God as well. Such is affirmed with the reality that the principles of God are best suited for human life. But, how shall those Godly principles be forwarded to others if a man has no concept what they are? This leads us to a pertinent question, too, which is, “How well do you know God?” Daily devotional encounters with God grow a man’s stature with God, which, in due process, impacts others with the stabilizing and strengthening presence of God. A Godly man demonstrates Godly values. The Apostle Paul pointed out that “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” The unfortunate case with too many men is that their values are mostly self-centered as they aspire for and thrive on material gains. The dissatisfaction it breeds to attain more becomes the value of man’s life. But, a Godly man patiently awaits the deep rich blessings of God, knowing that when God blesses according to His will He blesses with good that is good for those in close relational proximity of a man. If you are a man at least associated with the church, aspire to be a Godly and faithful man. Being a Godly man is how we men best make a difference in this life we live. Page A5 Friday, June 24, 2011 Let’s Get Spiritual In 1981, Olivia Newton-John scored on the pop music charts with her song, “Let’s Get Physical.” Today, with the proliferation of numerous religions and pseudo-spiritual options in our culture, she could easily sing about getting spiritual, and many are those who feel they are. Allow me to say the Church isn’t a building, a denomination, or a particular group of believers adhering to their own, cherished ideology and polity. The Church is all God’s people, assembling together in worship somewhere or other on a regular basis, by the grace of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, with the enabling presence and power of the Holy Spirit. I appeal to all Christians reading this to consider well whose you are, and the unique calling you share. Get ready to get spiritual, but be sure your focus is strictly upon Jesus Christ! By the way, this isn’t intended for pseudoChristians who know the talk and when to talk it, but are ignorant of the Way of Christ and so don’t walk it. If this is the way you are, nothing I say from here on will affirm, stroke, or appeal to your ego. Then again, perhaps you had better read on. What I say may be more convicting than convincing, but were I to ask “how goes it with your soul?” I’d be encouraged to hear something positive come from your lips as opposed to the ubiquitous “whatever.” So, how are things between you and the Almighty these days? Kosher?!? Copacetic?!? To paraphrase the old Clairol commercial, only you and God know for sure. I hope you are! One more time: we are the beloved children of the Lord God Almighty, beloved by Him who made us, if not by our fellow creatures who share His world with us. That said, as God’s people, we ought to behave differently than those who deny His existence and authority. Have you noticed, of late, how frequently the expressions “Under God” and “In God We Trust” are being challenged on albeit dubious Constitutional grounds, as conflicting with the contention America is predicated on an explicit separation of Church and State? Don’t buy it! It’s encouraging to know more Christians are becoming aware of the secular forces which oppose them, and the opposition’s political machinations which discriminate against the Church. About 2,000 years ago Jesus warned us to expect such things and worse! So, why is it so many individual Christians and churches, and even the hierarchical bodies of some of these same churches, now speak in conciliatory terms of detente, if not of universal brotherhood and sisterhood, of the world’s many and sundry religions all being coequal and equally effective pathways to God and heaven above?!? Utter nonsense! Are you aware of the inroads being made into our churches on the part of the homosexual lobby in this country, as yet more Christians succumb to the proposition that marriage as a Biblical-sanctioned rite reserved exclusively for a man and a woman is passed and now, in the name of equality, ought to be the right of to two men or two women. The trend to liberalize marriage eventually may allow a man to marry more than one woman, and a woman to marry more than one man. Or, even an adult to marry a minor. As churches in America today continue to bleedout members, there is no self-evident or standard panacea which will radically arrest this decline. In reading the Book of Revelation, specifically, the second and third chapters, one will encounter therein seven New Testament churches which also had problems, and how they dealt with them. Of those seven churches, only two escaped the Lord’s judgment; the other five incurred the Lord’s displeasure because of activity “unbecoming” their unique calling. Theirs was their own agenda, not God’s and their behavior was contrary to what God had ordained. Those five bodies of believers had so compromised with the world that, in effect, they were all but useless to Jesus, having lost their faith, light, and their way. Have we? Have we gone astray, that we no longer esteem the Way of Christ as our way? Have we rejected the Cross, in favor of something more “comfortable”? As the lights of the world, are we burning out? Are we losing our saltiness? God forbid! The world needs us, because we’re different; and we need Jesus to be different, and effective. It’s one thing for us to sing, “People Need the Lord.” So do we, on the scale of a revival. Speaking to each one individually, he spoke powerful things that called into being things that were not yet visible. Those “invisible” blessings materialized in time as spoken by Jacob on the father’s blessings. The New Testament also makes it clear that God wants His people to practice a lifestyle of blessing. “Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not” (Romans 12:14). Many times we do not realize what good or damage we do with our words. If we want to be blessed, we have to bless. Our hearts must be filled with a selfless attitude of love and care for our neighbor to be willing to speak blessings over their lives. By speaking a blessing over somebody I’m not talking about speaking some type of religious fake “blessing” that means nothing. I’m speaking about speaking positive words of success, of influence, and empowerment, such as: “Brother, I appreciate God’s goodness in your life – I see God working in you.” “Sister, you are a true woman of God.” “Boy, you’re going to be a great success in the future, we need leaders like you in our country.” These are examples of blessings. As you influence those around you with the blessings of God, things will change. I encourage you to begin to speak blessings over those around you, our community, businesses, churches, families, etc, to begin to experience the blessings of God in their lives, and that a move of God’s Spirit will overtake our communities. I wonder how God will glorify Himself through such declarations. BY REV. THOMAS JOHNSON Thomas Johnson Words of Blessing Jesus said: “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63b). As we saw in the previous article, our words carry a lot of power and influence. That power can bring either life of death. This puts much responsibility squarely on our shoulders to consider carefully the impact of our words. To God, our words have a great deal of importance because it makes a big difference in our own lives and the lives of those we speak to. No wonder the Psalmist said: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation Alex Colon of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer (Psalm 19:14).” We need to remember that our mouths are con- tinually releasing either blessings or curses into our environments. Curses are things that we don’t want to come to pass, yet we speak them anyway. The more I study and read, the more I realize that everyone in the Old Testament was in the blessings business. In fact, a father’s blessing was so important that it was considered the most valuable part of a son’s inheritance. For example, when Jacob was near the end of his life, he blessed his sons with fatherly blessings that followed them the rest of their lives. Romney, Huntsman compete in Mormon primary BY JENNIFER DOBNER & PHILIP ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — Distant cousins Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman each have deep ties to their Mormon community and, they hope, its pocketbooks. As Romney and Huntsman jostle for support, Mormons are watching two of their own compete in what could become a nasty, intra-faith contest between two scions of Mormon royalty. Both families are steeped in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, and Huntsman and Romney are planning trips to Utah in the coming days to pitch their White House bids and round up campaign dollars. Yet neither should assume they have a lock on the traditionally conservative, 5 millionstrong Mormon community in the United States. Theirs is the first Mormon-versus-Mormon contest for a presidential nomination and it puts two dynasties in competition for their faith's small bloc of votes yet sizeable clutch of campaign cash. "It's not automatic that this Mormon is going to support a Mormon," said Gary Lawrence, a Mormon who is a political pollster in Southern California. He pointed to Romney's 2008 campaign that included a speech on his faith that helped assuage some of the public's concerns over Mormons. "I would say Mormonism will be a factor in the candidacy of these two men," he said, "but not as big of one as it was the last time." That could help or hurt. "I really believe most of the Mormon population is going to vote for the person, not for the religion. That's what we're taught," said Mac Robinson, the GOP chairman of rural Kane County, some 300 miles southeast of Salt Lake City near the Arizona state line. "I'm a very active Mormon, but it does not matter to me whether (the candidates) are Mormon or not," said Robinson, who is leaning toward Romney but isn't decided. "I'm not going to vote for anybody because they are a Mormon. I think some people will." That's why Romney and Huntsman are trying to set themselves apart — in this state that is more than half Mormon — despite looking a lot alike on paper. Both are former Republican governors and sons of industrial giants. Both have matinee idol good looks and business-heavy resumes. Both are Mormons with big families. Both are running for the White House with positions that fall outside the GOP's orthodoxy. Yet they are hardly friends, let alone similar campaigners. Romney is a product of the 1950s and at times comes across with a formality of a bygone era. Huntsman came of age during the 1960s. The generational difference is evident in their styles on the road. Romney struggles to chat up voters on the campaign trail, awkwardly filling in the silences with small talk. Huntsman is a natural retail campaigner who sidles up to tables for long conversations about work and family. Romney polls and meticulously tests messages. Huntsman prefers to go from his gut — much to the chagrin of his advisers at times. His campaign has yet to conduct a single poll. Neither is eager to criticize the other and both try to play down the rivalry. "It's a lot of hyperbole. It sounds good. Everybody loves drama," Huntsman said in Wolfeboro, N.H., during a campaign trip that took him within miles of the Romney clan's vacation home. "I met Gov. Romney as governor a few years ago. My grandfather and his father used to fish in the same stream in Idaho 300 years ago. I have nothing but respect for Gov. Romney and his family. He's an accomplished professional," Huntsman said. Both say they're not personally close; neither is rushing to help the other despite a tangled political and personal family tree. �Friday, June 24, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Cruiser Betty Irene Moore Hayes Betty Irene Moore Hayes, 76, Pomeroy, died on June 22, 2011, at 6:02 p.m. at St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington, W.Va., due to complications of pneumonia.

Goat From Page A1 common on this side of the Mississippi, Hannum explained, saying back in 2006 her Ohio regional group was the only group to gather for a sport/hobby at a rendezvous gathering, not held out west. “There is now a campout in Mid-Michigan and New York state due to the popularity of folks enjoying the great outdoors with their companion/working goats,” Hannum said. “We all can't troop over the Rockies for a long weekend campout so we took things into our own hands and developed a camp out event in our own region.” That group is the Ohio Regional Packgoat Group which can be found on Facebook and the North American Packgoat Association’s website at www.napga.org. As for how to train the goats, Hannum said hers are raised by hand so they are imprinted or at least bonded to she and her family which means they respect them as herd leaders. Goats are by nature, a herd animal so they naturally follow their owner around and do not stray more than a few feet away at any one time, unlike a family dog who might become distracted and run off to its owner's dismay, she said. Another interested fact is the majority of pack and cart goats are actually the "cast off" male goats that a dairygoat breeder/farmer can not use in their own operation, she explained. Wethers, are male goats that have been neutered. They are friendly, and do not develop the strong odor of an intact male goat used for breeding purposes. A dairygoat farm only needs a few buck goats for breeding so the other male goats born are surplus and often times end up tied out to clear a ditch and sadly often times are mauled by loose dogs, she said. “Packgoating saves many male goats from the freezer, and/or from a sad end at the end of a rope too,” she said. Over the years, packgoats have become increasingly popular in Meigs County with junior fair members giving demonstrations of their knowledge of the sport in the show ring during fair week.

Highlighted by an excellent three-under par 32 from Boeing Smith of Gallipolis, Ohio, and a playoff for second place, the premier 15-17 group produced quality play. Smith earned first for the week with his impeccable round. Dares Hamid of Gallipolis, Ohio, and David Michael of Crown City, Ohio, deadlocked at 43, which forced a playoff. Hamid won the playoff to take runner-up honors. Just one stroke behind them was Corey Arthur (Gallipolis, Ohio), while Cory Haner (Crown City, Ohio) and Dakota Sisk (New Haven, W.Va.) tied at 45. Kevin Back (Hartford, Ohio) posted a 46 and Jordan Howell (Bidwell, Ohio) collected a 47 in the close scoring. Then, Nick Taylor (Point Pleasant, W.Va.) added 53, as Seth Jarrell (Crown City, Ohio) and Ethan Spurlock (Gallipolis, Ohio) deadlocked for 10th, just ahead of Trenton Cook (Pomeroy, Ohio), Casin Roush (Crown City, Ohio) and Andy Welch (Crown City, Ohio). Among the 13-14 linksters, Michael Edelmann of Gallipolis, Ohio, scored 44 for the top spot. Zack Graham (Gallipolis, Ohio) earned second with 47, Logan Sheets (Bidwell, Ohio) was third at 58, Zack Morris (Vinton, Ohio) finished fourth and Cliff Chapman (Gallipolis, Ohio) followed at fifth. Only two 11-12 division players were on hand Monday, as Jared Parissi fashioned a solid three-over par 38 for first place over fellow Gallipolis, Ohio, golfer Addison Stanley at 47. Finally, the 10-andunder group was headed by Dylan Tayengco of Point Pleasant, W.Va., on a fine two-over par 37 for his second consecutive first place. Jasiah Brewer of Pomeroy, Ohio, scored 45 for second place. Then, Maddux Camden of Rio Grande, Ohio, — the youngest player in Tri-County Golf Tour history — was third at 48. Camden is now 6 years old and is a three year veteran of the TriCounty Junior Golf Tour. Every week brings interesting and exciting happenings, so expect more in the third round of play on Monday, June 27, at Kountry Hills Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and tee-off is set for 9 a.m. Cavaliers select Irving with top pick NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Kyrie Irving traveled just a few miles down the road to become the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. The players that followed him came from across the globe. The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Irving with the No. 1 pick in a draft filled with internationals, confident his foot is healthy enough to lead the rebuilding effort that follows LeBron James’ departure. Loudly cheered by family and friends not far from where he starred at St. Patrick’s High School in Elizabeth, Irving showed no signs of the toe injury on his right foot that limited him to 11 games last season as he walked up the stairs to shake hands with Commissioner David Stern. “I didn’t have any doubts about going to No. 1. I was looking to the organization to pick who they felt was the right choice,” Irving said. “But now to this moment, from being a fan of the NBA draft and now being drafted, it’s a special feeling in my heart and knowing that my friends and family were together, it’s a memory I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.” Three of the first six players taken were from Europe, capitalizing on the absence of some American college players who might have gone in their spots and made this a stronger draft. It was the first time four international players who didn’t play at a U.S. college were selected in the lottery. Even Irving has international ties. He was born in Australia while his father, Drederick, played professionally there and said he might be interested in playing for the Australian national team. After grabbing him with their first No. 1 pick since taking James in 2003, the Cavs used the No. 4 selection on Texas forward Tristan Thompson. They were the first team since the 1983 Houston Rockets with two top-four picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves took Arizona forward Derrick Williams with the No. 2 pick. The Utah Jazz then took Turkish big man Enes Kanter third with their first of two lottery selections. The league’s uncertain labor situation hung over the draft, and likely weakened it. Potential top-10 picks such as Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and Harrison Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times/MCT Duke's Kyrie Irving (1) collides with Arizona's Lamont Jones as he shoots in the first half at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on Thursday March 24, in the West Region semifinals. Barnes were among those who decided to stay in school, without knowing when their rookie seasons would have started. Stern, who could lock out his players next week if a deal for a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached, was booed when he came onto the stage at the Prudential Center, which is hosting the draft while its usual home, Madison Square Garden, is undergoing summer work. So the draft is filled with question marks, with a number of unknown European players expected to go in the first round. Kanter hasn’t played competitively in a year, forced to sit out last season at Kentucky after being ruled ineligible for being paid to play in Turkey. Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas went fifth to Toronto and Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic was taken sixth by Washington. Bismack Biyombo of Congo went seventh to Sacramento — a pick that will be traded — as the record of nine international firstround picks in 2003 quickly became threatPlease see Draft, B2 2011 NBA Lottery Selections 1.

(AP) — If David Bradshaw hopes to win another West Virginia Open title, he’ll have to hold off fellow pros Bob Friend and John Ross once again. Bradshaw, the two-time defending champion, shot a 4-under-par 67 Thursday for a two-stroke lead over Friend entering the final round. Bradshaw, who trailed Friend by three strokes entering the round, made six birdies and two bogeys and was at 6 under. Friend shot 1-over 72 and was in second place at 4 under. Ross, the 1997 and 1999 winner, also shot 67 and was third at 3 under. His round included an eagle and a double bogey on back-to-back holes. Bradshaw, Friend and Ross will be in the final pairing Friday at The Pines Country Club in Morgantown. “I still want to play aggressive and stay loose and see if I can take this thing a little deeper,” Bradshaw said. If he wins, Bradshaw would have six Open titles, second only to Sam Snead’s 17. Bradshaw is currently tied with Grafton’s Brad Westfall. “I’m not going to think about it,” Bradshaw said. “But, sure, it would be wonderful if I can do it.” Bradshaw is accustomed to close finishes. He also had a two-stroke lead entering last year’s final round at Hurricane’s Sleepy Hollow Golf Club and held off Tim Fisher by a stroke for his fifth title. In 2009 at Wheeling’s Oglebay Resort, Friend and Bradshaw were tied for the lead entering the final round. Bradshaw and Ross ended up in a threehole playoff and Bradshaw sank an 8-foot birdie on the final hole to beat Ross. In 2007, Friend had a one-stroke lead entering the final round at Morgantown’s Lakeview Resort, but it was Bradshaw who won with a 2-foot bogey putt on the final hole for a one-shot win over Friend and two others. “He’s a tough competitor,” Bradshaw said of Friend. “It’ll be a good battle, I’m sure.” Bradshaw hit only three fairways on his first nine holes but carded five birdies and two bogeys under tricky wind conditions. “I’m still not hitting the ball great,” Bradshaw said. “I haven’t hit it great for two days. Out here it’s been so soft and so wet, sometimes being in the rough isn’t such a bad thing because you don’t spin the ball as much.” Friend, who has finished in the top 10 six straight years, started Thursday’s round with a two-stroke lead over amateur Tad Tomblin of Alum Creek. But Friend couldn’t get any momentum going. The director of golf operations at Morgantown’s Pikewood National Golf Club had six birdies in Wednesday’s first round and none on Thursday. He bogeyed the 542-yard fourth hole and had 17 pars. “I played very solidly,” Friend said. “Some days putts go in, some days they don’t. I putted very well, just didn’t make any putts. I feel pretty well about how I’m playing.” Amateur Garland Green of Tazewell, Va., shot even par and was fourth at 1 under for the tournament. Bluefield’s Vincent Zachwieja shot 2-under 69 and was fifth at even par. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, June 24, 2011 Flyers deal Carter to Blue Jackets for Voracek, picks Daniel Houghton/Lexington Herald/MCT The twin spires of Churchill Downs are seen at sunrise on Saturday, May 7, 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky. Storms hit Kentucky Derby track; horses, humans OK LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The famed Churchill Downs horse race track, longtime home to the running of the Kentucky Derby, was hit by a possible tornado Wednesday, knocking down parts of barns and chasing out horses that ran loose before being corralled. Hours after the storm hit, officials had no reports of injuries to humans or horses at the track that draws the attention of horse racing fans worldwide the first Saturday of each May. Elsewhere in the city, high water from torrential rains briefly trapped a couple of people in their cars, a mayor’s spokesman said, and a hospital reported that it treated two patients hit by falling trees. The National Weather Service said radar tracked a confirmed tornado south of downtown near the track and the University of Louisville campus about 8:10 p.m. Though no races are run on Wednesdays, a simulcast of races elsewhere was being shown at the track, and a Texas Hold ‘em poker tournament was being held, officials said. At least nine of the track’s 48 backside barns were damaged, as was the chapel. The barn damage, displacing about 200 horses, was in an area of the track where workers live in apartments above barns. One barn was flooded by a water main break. “It’s a hell of a mess back here,” track spokesman John Asher said of the barn area where the damage was concentrated. Louisville fire Capt. Salvador Melendez said safe areas were found for the horses overnight at the track. The track said it was arranging for the possible evacuation of about 150 horses to the nearby state fairgrounds. Keeneland Racetrack in Lexington also offered stall space if needed, Asher said. The powerful winds also damaged living quarters for about 100 people who work in the stable area, and arrangements were being made to provide them temporary shelter, the track said. Much of the track was spared, including the iconic twin spires above the clubhouse overlooking the finish line that were apparently not damaged, said track President Kevin Flanery. “Clearly we’ve got several barns with significant damage and we’re just trying to make sure people and the animals are safe first,” Flanery said. Security guards told reporters that some horses had gotten loose for a time but were later caught. At least 1,300 horses were stabled at Churchill, said vice president of racing Donnie Richardson. Several people taking part in the poker tournament said they saw the rotation in the clouds and then saw swirling winds touch down along the backstretch and skip diagonally through the barn area, Asher said. “Clearly in their eyes it was a tornado.” Asher said. A National Weather Service team will determine whether a tornado or straight line winds did the damage. Trainer William “Jinks” Fires had to find new living quarters for 24 horses in a barn that had part of its roof torn off. Water was knee-high in the barn after pipes broke. “I was home in my pajamas,” he said. “But it didn’t take me long to get here.” Other trainers offered empty stall space for the horses he trains. “Anyone who had an empty stall, we put ‘em in,” Fires said. The 137th Kentucky Derby, run this year on May 7, brought in a crowd of more than 160,000. The annual spring tradition, the first leg of horseracing’s Triple Crown, is known as much for its mint juleps and fancy hats as the racing. The track, owned by Churchill Downs Inc., underwent extensive renovations in 2002 and 2003 totaling more than $200 million. Thursday’s racing card, training and simulcast wagering operations were canceled because of the damage. The track has nine live racing days left in its spring meet that runs until July 4. In August 2009, a flash flood heavily damaged the Kentucky Derby Museum, situated just off Gate 1 at Churchill Downs. The museum was closed for nine months while it underwent a $5.5 million renovation. No damage has been reported at the university, which is sparsely populated at this time of year, said John Drees, a university spokesman. Scattered reports of damage to buildings in the Louisville metro area were reported from the storms that continued to move through into the night. The worst damage appeared to be in the Churchill Downs area, though, said Chris Poynter, a spokesman for Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. Eyewitnesses said they saw about a dozen power poles downed near the track and university. Some 2,600 customers were without power around the Louisville area at about midnight. Storm sirens wailed in Kentucky’s largest city as multiple tornado warnings were issued as the storm went through. “It looks like we dodged what could have been a really bad ... evening,” Poynter said. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers traded top goal scorer Jeff Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets for forward Jake Voracek and the club’s first- and third-round picks. The deal created a big splash in Columbus, which needed a headline grabber to sell tickets. It also allowed the Flyers to clear cap space to sign goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Carter’s agent, Rick Curran, confirmed the deal on Thursday afternoon. He said he was stunned by the news after being told repeatedly by Flyers officials that the club was not discussing trading Carter to the Blue Jackets. “That deal is done,” he told The Associated Press. Carter’s presence finally gives the Blue Jackets a top-line center to pair with their best player, Rick Nash. Voracek, a first-round pick in the 2007 draft, had 14 goals and 32 assists a year ago. The linchpin of the deal was clearly Carter. With the Blue Jackets’ fan base flagging and with the franchise saying it lost $25 million last year, a dramatic move was needed. Carter, 26, instantly becomes the best center to ever play for Columbus. The 6-foot-3, 200pounder agreed in November to a $58-million, 11-year contract. Beginning next season, Carter’s salary-cap hit will be $5.27 million, slightly above the $5 million against this season’s cap. The contract also included a limited notrade clause. Carter has 181 goals in his six full seasons in the NHL, all with the Flyers. He has had 46, 33 and 36 the last three seasons. Draft moved by Milwaukee to Sacramento if the threeteam trade went through. Irving becomes the third point guard taken first in the last four years, following Derrick Rose in 2008 and John Wall last year. Rose was the NBA’s MVP this season, ending James’ two-year reign. Irving insists he’s not trying to replace James — whose highlights were booed when showed on the overhead screen — in a different manner now. “I’m looking forward to getting to Cleveland,” Irving said. “It’s a big sports town and I cannot wait to embrace all of the fans there and the fan support. I can’t wait.” Kansas twins Markieff and Marcus Morris went with back-to-back picks to round out the lottery. Phoenix took Markieff at No. 13 and Marcus followed to the Rockets. from Page B1 ened. The 18-year-old forward will end up in Charlotte as part of a three-way deal agreed to earlier that also included Milwaukee, a person familiar with the deal Thursday. Kentucky’s Brandon Knight went eighth to Detroit as common fans finally heard a name they recognized again. He was followed by Kemba Walker of national champion Connecticut to Charlotte and NCAA scoring champion Jimmer Fredette of BYU — both New Yorkers who were loudly cheered after their names were called. Walker wiped away tears on the draft stage.
