WEATHER www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs anti-SB 5 signatures validated Opponents optimistic for November BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The road to repeal Senate Bill 5 took another step forward this week as local board of elections turned in validated signatures collected on petitions aimed at defeating the controversial legislation via a ballot issue in the November general elec- tion. The campaign to place the issue on the ballot requires 231,149 valid signatures in the State of Ohio. This month, 1.2 million signatures were turned in for validation. In Meigs County, of the 3,252 signatures which appeared on petitions to place a repeal of Senate Bill 5 on the November ballot, 2,499 were validat- ed, according to staff from the Meigs County Board of Elections yesterday. According to the We Are Ohio website, a group which has collected the signatures and opposes SB 5, out of the 3,272 signatures collected in Gallia County, 2,535 were validated by the Gallia County Board of Elections. Organizers with We Are Ohio are optimistic they’ve reached their goal of collecting the 231,149 valid signatures required to place the ballot issue up for a vote in November. “Based on preliminary results from 63 of Ohio’s 88 counties, We Are Ohio enthusiastically reports to our nearly 1.3 million supporters who signed the petition, that the repeal of SB 5 will be on the ballot UP HIGH!

Inattentive, impatient or impaired motorists can also cause crashes that can injure — or even kill — fellow drivers. With construction season in full swing, work zone safety should be at the forefront of drivers’ minds. According to a recent safety engineering study by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) that analyzes 10 years of crash statistics, motorists are more likely to be injured or killed in a work zone on a dry and sunny August afternoon than any other time of the year.

The class of 2010 gave the GOP its House majority in November. It pushed the leadership to a vote Tuesday on legislation that would slash federal spending by trillions of dollars and require a balanced budget constitutional amendment in exchange for an increase in the nation's bor- rowing limit. But the measure's chances are poor in the Senate, setting the stage for a backup plan from congressional leaders designed to avoid an unprecedented government default on Aug. 2. That would force freshmen to back an increase in the $14.3 trillion debt ceil- ing, and several constituents are telling them not to do it. The freshmen are caught between tea partyers and warnings about wrecking the economy. Police: Fla. teen killed parents, then had party PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Neighbors knew Tyler Hadley as a polite and respectful teen who played basketball with his father in the driveway and built forts of junked wood as a kid — not as someone who could kill his parents and throw a party while their bodies lay tucked beneath towels and other items in a locked bedroom. The 17-year-old made his first court appearance Tuesday after being charged in the killings of his parents, Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley, whom authorities say he bludgeoned with a hammer Saturday before hosting a party for dozens of friends. A motive remains unclear. In his brief appearance via video conference from jail, the teen glanced downward and calmly replied, "No, sir," when asked by the judge whether he had a lawyer or any questions. He was ordered held without bail and appointed a public defender. His politeness was baffling to Tom Bakkedahl, the prosecutor who later viewed the bodies of Hadley's parents as they underwent autopsies at the medical examiner's office. "His demeanor in court was not consistent with what I saw at the autopsy," Bakkedahl said of the parents, whose heads and torsos were maimed in the attack. "It's absolutely horrific. The injuries were just massive." Hadley's next-door neighbor, Raeann Wallace, said she has known the teen since he was born. He was friendly and polite and never seemed to be the source of any problems. She'd even ask him to keep an eye on her house when she went on vacation. "How do you go from shooting hoops with your dad in the driveway to beating him with a hammer?" asked Wallace, a 64-year-old retired purchasing agent. "At some point, he's going to get out of the dark place that he's at and he's going to realize that he killed his parents." On Tuesday, police continued to come and go from Hadley's modest white ranch, evidence still being processed for a third straight day. Yellow crime scene tape blocked part of Granduer Avenue off to the curious. Hadley is being charged as an adult in his parents' killings. While he currently is charged with second-degree murder, Bakkedahl said it's all but certain a grand jury will indict him on more serious charges. He will not face the death penalty if convicted because of his age. His public defender, Mark Harllee, said he had met with Hadley, but he would not go into detail about the boy's state of mind. "We will be representing him zealously, and the next step we will take is to enter a plea of not guilty on his behalf," he said. As police tell it, Hadley posted word on Facebook around 1:15 p.m. Saturday that he would be hosting a party at his house that night. Sometime afterward, the parents were attacked outside their bedroom, where their bodies were brought and covered with varied household items, and the door was locked. The party went on as planned, with as many as 60 guests having such a raucous time that police were called with a noise complaint. They arrived at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, but the party was already breaking up. Then, tipped off that a murder may have taken place, they returned to the home at about 4:24 a.m. Hadley was seen pacing inside a front bay window, police said, and when he finally answered the door he appeared nervous. Inside the master bedroom, they found the bodies. Police would not say who called in the tip about a possible slaying, how the person knew or how the person was connected to the family. Since his arrest, Hadley has been questioned by police, but has given no inkling what motivated his alleged actions, said Tom Nichols, a police spokesman in Port St. Lucie, which is about 50 miles north of West Palm Beach. "He didn't say anything as to why this murder occurred," Nichols said. The mother, 47, was an elementary school teacher. The father, 54, worked for Florida Power and Light. The Hadleys also had a 23year-old son who lives out of state. Relatives of the family declined to comment or let calls go unanswered. As police probed for clues, so did those who knew the family. "They always seemed happy," said James Moses, another neighbor. "There was no indication that anyone was dysfunctional." Over 65 and not worried about heat? You should be CHICAGO (AP) — This week's heat wave may be uncomfortable, but you're healthy, active and feel just fine. So what if you're over 65? Think again. Feeling good doesn't mean you're safe. There are changes in an older person that raise the risk for heat stroke and other problems. An older body contains far less water than a younger one. Older brains can't sense temperature changes as well, and they don't recognize thirst as easily. Blistering summer heat is an underappreciated killer, claiming by some estimates as many as 1,000 U.S. lives each year ‚Äî more than any other type of weather. One federal study found 40 percent of heatrelated deaths were in people 65 and older. Those numbers could be lower if more heeded heat warnings aimed at seniors. Yet research has shown many people over 65 don't think the warnings apply to them — because they don't think they're "old." Don Worden is 79 and an avid tennis buff who prefers playing doubles on outdoor courts along Chicago's lakefront — even in oppressive 90degree temperatures like those hitting the Midwest this week. "I don't pay too much attention to those" warnings, Worden said. "I stay in pretty good shape, and I don't feel they apply to me." Worden said he drinks a lot of water and would stop a match if he started feeling effects from the heat, "but that hasn't happened." Scott Sheridan, who studies the effects of heat and climate on health at Kent State University, researched how people over 65 view heat warnings. In his 2006 study of more than 900 people, he found about 70 percent knew about advice to drink plenty of water on very hot days, avoid outdoor activities and stay inside with air conditioning. But only about half said they followed the advice. "People well into their 70s would say old people should watch out but not them," he said. "People just didn't want to be thought of in that same category." Dr. David Zich, an emergency medicine specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said he has colleagues in medicine that age who shun being thought of as "elderly." But those heat warnings apply to them, too. As Dr. William Dale, geriatrics chief at the University of Chicago Medical Center explains it, "Any older adult has less reserve and is more likely to become dehydrated than others, just because their overall body water goes down with age no matter how healthy you are." The amount of water in the body declines with aging, from about 80 percent in young adulthood to about 55 to 60 percent for people in their 80s, Dale said. Temperature sensors in the brain become less sensitive as people age, so the body doesn't get the same signals to drink water in hot weather, and older people often don't feel thirsty even when they need to replenish, Dale said. They also may not feel the typical symptoms of dehydration, such as headache or dizziness. Some complain of just feeling "bad" and think they're getting sick, he said. Conditions were ripe for those types of complaints Tuesday as a dense dome of hot air remained parked over much of the nation's midsection, raising temperatures into the mid- to upper-90s from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Rockies and the northern Plains. Tropical-level humidity raised the heat index in many places to nearly 120 degree. Last shuttle leaves space station, due back Thursday CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The last space shuttle is headed home. Atlantis left the International Space Station on Tuesday and slipped away after a partial lap around the station. Ten pairs of eyes pressed against the windows, four in the shuttle and six in the station. All that remains of NASA's final shuttle voyage is the touchdown, targeted for the pre-dawn hours of Thursday back home in Florida. Its return ends the 30-year run of a vessel that kept U.S. astronauts flying to and from orbit longer than any other rocketship. "Get her home safely and enjoy the last couple days in space shuttle Atlantis," the station's Mission Control told commander Christopher Ferguson and his crew. Replied Ferguson: "It's been an incredible ride." As a final salute, the space station rotated to provide never-beforeseen views of the com- plex. Atlantis flew halfway around the outpost, cameras whirring aboard both craft to record the historic event. Flight controllers savored the dual TV images. "It must look pretty spectacular," Ferguson said. And it did: Atlantis sailing serenely against the black void of space, its payload bay wide open, and the space station, its huge solar wings glowing golden in the sunlight. As the lead team of flight controllers signed off for the very last time, the voice emanating from the shuttle's Mission Control cracked with emotion. Another team would take over late Tuesday for landing. To ensure their safe return, the crew conducted one final survey of the shuttle, using the robotic arm and a laser-tipped extension. Experts scrutinized the images for signs of micrometeorite damage. Atlantis spent 8 days at the space station and left behind a year's worth of supplies, insurance in the event commercial providers encounter delays in launching their own cargo ships. It was the 37th shuttle mission, over more than 12 years, dedicated to building and maintaining the space station — the largest structure ever to orbit the planet. In keeping with tradition, Atlantis' departure was marked by the ringing of the naval ship's bell aboard the space station. The undocking occurred nearly 250 miles above the Pacific. "Atlantis departing the International Space Station for the last time," space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. announced, ringing the bell three times. "We'll miss you guys. Godspeed." Ferguson thanked the six station residents for their hospitality, then added: "We'll never forget the role the space shuttle played in its creation. Like a proud parent, we anticipate great things to follow ... Farewell, ISS. Make us proud." All told, shuttles spent 276 days — or nearly 40 weeks — docked to the station. It's now a sprawling complex with multiple science labs — 13 rooms in all and more than 900,000 pounds of mass, most of that delivered by shuttles. "So large that some astronauts have even momentarily gotten lost in it ‚Äî you can take it from me," said Mission Control communicator Daniel Tani, a former station resident. "Of course, the ISS wouldn't be here without the space shuttle so ... we wanted to say thank you and farewell to the magnificent machines that delivered, assembled and staffed our world-class laboratory in space." NASA and its international partners mean to keep it running until at least 2020. With the retirement of the shuttle fleet, the space station now must rely solely on other countries for restocking, at least until the first privately funded rocket blasts off with a load. That could come by year's end. Private astronaut launches from U.S. soil, however, are three to five years away — at best. Until then, Americans will continue flying to and from the space station via Russian Soyuz capsules at a hefty price. The Atlantis crew left behind a small U.S. flag that flew on the inaugural shuttle voyage in 1981. The flag is the prize for the first company that launches astronauts to the station from the U.S. President Barack Obama described it last week as "a capture-the-flag moment here for commercial spaceflight." Obama wants private companies taking over Earth-to-orbit operations so NASA can concentrate on sending astronauts beyond. The goals: an asteroid by 2025 and Mars by the mid-2030s. Flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho alluded to the potential difficulties ahead, as he described how he's dealt with his own discomforts regarding the end of the shuttle program and the uncertain future for space exploration. "I try to look at that as an adventure, rather than focusing too much on the memories," he said Tuesday. Atlantis will join Discovery and Endeavour in retirement after this 13-day journey, the 135th for the shuttle program. All three will become museum displays. Tuesday marked the 36th anniversary of the undocking of the Apollo spacecraft from a Soviet Soyuz in the first-of-itskind joint flight. Nearly six years passed between the end of that 1975 mission and the start of NASA's next: the space shuttle. Mission Control said that gap — five years and nine months — is the mark to beat this time around. And it said it was starting the clock. Floods, heat, high winds wreak havoc across Ohio AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A miserable mix of floods, high winds and extreme heat turned Ohio into a swamp on Tuesday. Storms dumped 5 inches of rain in northeast Ohio and packed winds gusts of 70 mph, flooding several neighborhoods and canceling flights at a commuter airport. The wild weather that began Monday evening and continued into the early hours Tuesday flattened barns and power poles in northwest Ohio and knocked out power to thousands. Utility companies reported more than 14,000 outages, mainly in parts of northern and central Ohio. Temperatures topped 90 degrees throughout the state. Dayton opened its recreation centers to give residents a place to cool off and the southwest Ohio city of Hamilton moved an outdoor concert to a parking garage to keep concert-goers out of the sun. Columbus opened a handful of fire hydrants to give people a chance to cool down. The extreme heat is expected to continue through the rest of the week. Several counties near Akron took the brunt of the storm. Six flights were canceled at the AkronCanton Airport after rain poured into the terminal's basement. The airport turned off its electrical systems for three hours while it pumped out the water, which reached 6 feet, said spokeswoman Kristie Van Auken. Commercial flights resumed just before noon.

Judge wonʼt move trial in Ohio deputy's death LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A judge won't relocate the trial of a man charged with murder in a deputy's death during a high-speed police chase. An assistant prosecutor said Tuesday that Judge James Flannery in Lebanon denied the defense request. Marcus Isreal's attorney had argued that his black client is accused of killing a white deputy and cannot get a fair trial in predominantly white Warren County. Attorney Clyde Bennett also cited extensive media coverage. Bennett said Tuesday that it would be a "tough, difficult task" but he would do what he could to make sure Isreal gets a fair trial in the county. Isreal, of Middletown, pleaded not guilty to charges in Sgt. Brian Dulle's death. Authorities say Dulle was placing stop sticks to halt a stolen car driven by Isreal when it struck him. Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Judge Crow administers the oath of office to Hysell BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS In surveys, the handsdown most-common response to what makes people the happiest revolves around friends and family, and shared experiences with loved ones. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to boast about their social connections, and many people find themselves isolated by loneliness. This quiz will test your knowledge of loneliness and what you can do about it. 1. Solitude and loneliness are the same thing. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 2. It is possible to be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 3. Volunteering for a charity in which you interact with others is a good way to begin to ease your loneliness. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 4. The solution for loneliness is in the quantity, rather than the quality, of your relationships. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 5. Figuring out what types of situations may be best for you to find meaningful relationships depends on your ability to understand your own passions and comfort zones. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 6. Maintaining optimism in the face of loneliness won’t help you feel better. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 7. Being introverted and being shy are the same thing. TRUE ( Sonshine Circle reviews projects, elects officers Page A3 ) FALSE ( ) ANSWERS: 1. FALSE. There is a world of difference between solitude and loneliness. Solitude is the state of being physically alone -- with only one’s thoughts and feelings -without feeling the isolation and sadness associated with loneliness. Loneliness almost by definition is a negative state, whereas solitude usually is associated with the positive ideas of self-reflection, enjoyment of nature or contemplation. 2. TRUE. This probably is the worst kind of loneliness, because it puts our interior isolation in such stark contrast with our outward surroundings. The ability to reach out and make social connections is so important, because even when surrounded by people who might be able to ease our loneliness, we often are unable to take the first step or open ourselves up to the emotional connections that must exist between people in order to banish loneliness. 3. TRUE. The types of Dr. Joyce Brothers activities that allow you to practice your social interactions with very little risk are the most beneficial to start out with. By volunteering to help at a soup kitchen, read to the elderly or tutor children, you won’t be receiving huge amounts of praise, but you will be getting a small dose of positive feedback while putting relatively little at risk. 4. FALSE. Your relationships should be meaningful and satisfying for you and the person you’re sharing the relationship with. This can mean different things to different people, and shouldn’t be measured by any outside standard -- even those models of friendships you see on TV or in magazines. 5. TRUE. It can be especially hard for people who are shy or simply quiet to find places and situations that allow these personality traits to blossom. For instance, if you’re quiet and introverted, trying to meet people at a nightclub probably is not going to be as rewarding as striking up a conversation at a favorite author’s book signing. 6. FALSE. Being optimistic about your own future not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also makes you more interesting and appealing to others. Would you rather talk to someone who is constantly complaining and finding the worst in everything, or who maintains a positive outlook even in the face of some particular hardship? You’ll find that most people will choose the latter, especially when thinking about talking to someone for the first time. 7. FALSE. Shy people may really want to initiate social interactions but find it very difficult to do so. Introverts, on the other hand, seek out alone time because they want to be alone. Both an introvert and a shy person might be standing alone at a party, but while the shy person is unhappy about this, the introvert likely has chosen to be alone. If you were able to answer five of the seven questions, you’re more informed than most on this subject.

(c)2011 Dayle Allen Shockley. “Motherhood: Never being number one in your list of priorities and not minding at all.” — Jasmine Guinness A new mom embraces motherhood. Monday morning, 6:30. It is the kind of August morning that promises rain. I am tiptoeing through the kitchen like a burglar, carrying a basket brimming with dirty laundry. My 2-month-old daughter sleeps peacefully in the other end of the house. Her early feeding done, I am determined to get a headstart on the day -something I haven’t done since bringing her home from the hospital. Besides, it’s been a week since I opened the clothes hamper; things are getting a bit smelly. Being a mother is amazing. I love my child so fiercely, it’s frightening. But there’s another side to motherhood. Until my daughter’s birth, I never knew the true meaning of the word “tired.” I never realized how little sleep you can actually exist on. The days creep into the nights, leaving me exhausted and wondering if I will even live to see her start school. With heavy hands, I load the washing machine, sneak into the kitchen, and put on a pot of coffee. In the darkness, I sit waiting for the brew to finish. I am exhausted. The living room resembles a garage sale. It’s been weeks since I looked at a newspaper, listened to the news, heard my favorite song. My world revolves around a plump little girl named Anna Marie who makes great smacking noises and I decide to tell God exactly what I’m feeling. “Motherhood is a constant demand of my time,” I say out loud. “I’m a person, too! I need things, too! Like rest. And sleep. And, right now, a big shoulder to cry on!” smells of baby powder and cotton gowns and, occasionally, something a lot less pleasant. As I gulp down the last swallow of coffee, I have one wish: three hours of uninterrupted sleep. But just as I set the cup on the table, Anna Marie announces herself with great gusto. I can’t believe she is awake again. Didn’t I just put her down? I rush to her bed, scoop up my bellowing angel, change her soaking diaper, powder her little behind, kiss her rosy face and then settle into the rocking chair in the corner. Holding her close, I am awed by her beauty, by the way she slaps my chest with her tiny hand while gulping down her The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

She is perfectly content. All of her needs have been met. Suddenly, and without warning, I have selfish thoughts. When am I going to have all of my needs met? When am I going to get a good night’s sleep? Or get the house cleaned? Or eat a decent meal, let alone cook one? I am somewhat surprised by my feelings, but since I seem to be on a roll, I decide to tell God exactly what I’m feeling. “Motherhood is a constant demand of my time,” I say out loud. “I’m a person, too! I need things, too! Like rest. And sleep. And, right now, a big shoulder to cry on!” I’m afraid to say more, afraid I’ll end up bawling, and that would only upset my now sleeping angel. But then, as gentle as the summer rain splattering against the window, the thought comes to me: God gave me this child. My job is to look after her. Nurture her. Care for her. Teach her. At once, I marvel. Slumped in the curve of rocking chair, I suddenly see the beauty of myself. I am much more than an exhausted body in a baggy housecoat; I am the keeper of a child. This revelation soothes me, refreshes me. I look down into the face of my precious baby. From somewhere deep inside, I feel a stirring, an intense longing to be God’s greatest babysitter. Wholeheartedly, unreservedly, I embrace this hallowed assignment called motherhood. Visit our Web site: www.chickensoup.com. (c) 2011 by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen Distributed by King Features Syndicate BY RICH LOWRY If Congress has trouble staying within constitutional bounds now, just wait until the Constitution mandates that it balance the federal budget. Republicans have made a late entry into the debtceiling debate with a push for adding such a requirement to the Constitution. The balanced-budget amendment is not only an implausible way out of the debt-ceiling dilemma -- it’s unlikely to pass Congress with the necessary two-thirds vote to send it to the states -- it risks doing the worst disservice to the Constitution since Prohibition. The balanced-budget amendment came to prominence in the Contract With America back in the 1990s. It fell a vote short in the Senate and had been forgotten -and deserved to be. A simple balanced-budget amendment threatens Republican fiscal priorities; it would create even more pressure to raise taxes. A straightforward amendment recognizes no difference between balance at 24 percent of GDP or at 15 percent of GDP. Realizing this, House Republicans have crafted a version that essentially mandates their favored fiscal policies. It requires that spending not exceed 18 percent of GDP and stipulates that only a twothirds majority can raise taxes. Only modesty, presumably, prevented the amendment’s authors from spelling out budgetary levels for the Department of Health and Human Services. The Constitution is meant to set out the basic rules of the road for American governance. It’s not an appropriate vehicle for enshrining transitory or controversial policy preferences. This is 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 Rich Lowry what the 18th Amendment establishing Prohibition did, and so ensured widespread defiance of the nation’s foundational law. A balanced-budget amendment could befall the same fate at the hands of the fiscal bootleggers of Congress. Even House Republicans voted for a budget that doesn’t balance the federal books until roughly 2030. It’s easy to imagine Congress playing definitional games to evade the strictures of the amendment, inevitably inviting lawsuits. That the amendment would precipitate legal action is acknowledged in the amendment’s own language: “No court of the United States or of any State shall order any increase in revenue to enforce this article.” Judicial interventions in budgetary matters are, by implication, acceptable so long as they bring spending cuts. Let’s hope the federal courts are packed with judges favoring Medicare reform. The Republican amendment acknowledges there are circumstances when the budget shouldn’t necessarily be balanced. It allows for a waiver in fiscal years in which a declaration of war against a nation-state is in effect. As a plot to get Nancy Pelosi to declare war on Switzerland or another handy inoffensive country, this is brilliant. Otherwise, it’s wholly inadequate. We haven’t declared war on anyone since World War II. The amendment’s exception wouldn’t have accounted for the Cold War or the War on Terror, neither of which entailed declarations of war on nation-states. Another provision allows three-fifths of Congress to waive the amendment for expenditures related to a military conflict “that causes an imminent and serious threat to national security.” If you believe the Cold War or the War on Terror qualifies, this could have led to constant exceptions from 1947 to 1991, and from 2001 to perhaps the present. The impulse behind the amendment is certainly laudatory -- to attack the debt problem at its root. But a strictly balanced budget is not important enough to be written into the Constitution. The difference between balance and a small deficit is meaningless in the long run; it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of protecting free speech or ending slavery. We ran budget deficits from 1970 to 1997, and the republic survived. The current threat to the country is historic deficits driven by historic levels of spending. Favoring the balancedbudget amendment does nothing to address those problems in the here and now. Realistically, building the coalition necessary to pass the amendment as envisioned by Republicans would take years, by which time it will be gloriously irrelevant or altogether too late.

Zone Flooding shuts down Ohio airport, swamps terminal GREEN (AP) — Flooding is shutting down all commercial flights at an airport in northeast Ohio. Heavy rains that hit the Akron-Canton Airport swamped the main terminal’s basement late Monday night, knocking out its power. All inbound and outbound commercial flights are being halted. Airport officials say a few flights did take off Tuesday morning, but they’ve now shut down operations to pump out nearly six inches of water from the terminal. They tell WEWS-TV in Cleveland that it will take at least several hours to clear out the water. The national weather service says about 4.7 inches of rain fell at the Akron-Canton Airport in three hours overnight.

Chairman, CEO and President Steve Fishman says in a statement that the purchase of Brantford, Ontario-based Liquidation World gives Big Lots an immediate footprint in Canada with 89 stores, existing infrastructure and more than 1,000 employees. Big Lots operates more than 1,400 stores in 48 states. Columbus to outlaw overnight fishing in parks COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s largest city is moving to ban late-night fishing in its ponds, to help crack down on overnight problems in parks. The Columbus City Council on Monday approved an ordinance outlawing fishing in city parks between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., hours when parks are closed but a loophole had allowed and deaths in work zones, the data is promising. Since 2001, the number of crashes in ODOT work zones has gone down 37 percent and the number of fatal crashes has dropped by 50 percent. “ODOT does all it can to ensure the safety of its workers and the motoring public,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “But to see a real reduction in work zone crashes, certain driver behaviors need to change.” According to the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse, West Virginia reported 356 work zone fatalities in 2009 when considering all state and private work zones including utilities, while Ohio reported 1,021 the same year. “We take safety in our work zones seriously in West Virginia and are being proactive in attempting to communicate safety messages to the public about the importance of slowing down when entering a Work Zone,” said West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) Division of Highways spokesman Randy Damron. “We currently are utilizing a media campaign to convey safety info until the season concludes this fall.” According to information from WVDOT and ODOT, the top three causes of work zone crashes can be prevented. They include following too closely, failure to control and improper lane changes. ODOT District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams said that he has already noticed problems this year in his rural nine-county district. “We’ve had some close calls with our summer workers almost getting hit by motorists who aren’t paying attention in both Gallia and Meigs County,” said Williams. “One injury or fatality is one too many, which is why we’re making work zone safety a top priority in District 10.” ODOT District 9 Public Information Officer Kathleen Fuller noted that the rural landscape that lends to the beauty of Appalachian Ohio and West Virginia can also work against the safety of highway work zones. “It is important to note that traveling in work zones along rural, two-lane routes can be quite different than those that are established on urban, four-lane or interstate routes,” said Fuller. “In many areas of southern Ohio, we are faced with limited visibility or sight distance issues depending upon the topography of the route, and coupled with varying width restrictions, the work zones themselves can be challenging to navigate for the most-experienced driver.” To help motorists better navigate through work zones, ODOT continually utilizes new technology and refines its policies. Beginning this year, ODOT will require its contractors to use high-intensity flashing lights and reflective tape on all equipment in work zones. Additional signing and special warnings for motorcyclists have been added in recent years. “We want motorists to remember to take it slow through work zones and be cautious of the workers out on the road,” said Williams. “Their safety is also our priority.” For up-to-the-minute road conditions and details on highway construction projects in every area of the state, visit ODOT’s web site www.BuckeyeTraffic.org. our efforts from the Ohio Secretary of State, we are confident that our historic achievement will result in ballot placement.” Matt McClellan, press secretary for the office of Ohio Secretary of State said yesterday there are no official numbers to report and the office did not comment on third party speculation. Though it could happen sooner, McClellan added the office had until Tuesday to make an official announcement concerning the numbers and if requirements were met for a ballot issue.

Use a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body and remove any tick you find. Check these parts of your body and your child's body for ticks: • Under the arms • In and around the ears • Inside belly button • Back of the knees • Under the arms • In and around the hair • Between the legs • Around the waist Shower soon after being outdoors. Showering within two hours of coming indoors has shown to reduce your risk of being bitten by a tick, according to the CDC. Check your clothing for ticks. Ticks may be carried into the house on clothing. Any ticks that are found should be removed. Placing clothes into a dryer on high heat for at least an hour effectively kills ticks. The CDC recommends two ways for humans to protect themselves from tick bites and illness. • Know where to expect ticks. Ticks live in moist and humid environments, particularly in or near wooded or grassy areas. You may come into contact with ticks during outdoor activities around your home or when walking through vegetation such as leaf litter or shrubs. Always walk in the center of trails, in order to avoid ticks. • Use a repellent with DEET (on skin or clothing) or permethrin (on clothing) and wear long sleeves, long pants and socks. Products containing permethrin can be used to treat boots, clothing and camping gear which can remain protective through several washings. Repellents containing 20 percent or more DEET can be applied to the skin, and they can protect for up to several hours. Parents should apply this product to their children, avoiding the hands, eyes, and mouth. To best protect your pet, prevention is key. There are many products on the market, but since pets’ needs differ, it is recommended that you contact your veterinarian for specific advice. Man accused of in-flight disturbance indicted CLEVELAND (AP) — A college student accused of disrupting a flight headed from Chicago to Germany has been indicted in federal court in Cleveland on one count of interfering with a flight crew member or attendant. Twenty-one-year-old Saleh Ali S. Alramakh of Akron is accused of refusing to sit down or turn off an electronic device and shoving a United Airlines flight attendant. He was indicted Tuesday. Documents from investigators say the July 8 disruption forced a pilot to make an emergency landing in Cleveland and that Alramakh had to be restrained on the floor. His attorney has said he is a well-liked University of Akron scholarship student. �Wednesday, July 20, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 20, 2011: This year, you advance a key interest.
