Thursday, October 13, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com ’12 primary filing deadline on heels of Nov. election By Brian J. Reed BReed@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Local boards of elections are busy processing absentee ballot applications for the upcoming general election, and unless the state changes the date of next year’s primary, a filing deadline for 2012 candidates will soon follow the November election. That deadline has candidates for local office This year’s election will be made up mostly of local elections. Township trustees and fiscal officers, school board members and village mayors and council seats are on the November general election ballot, as are ballot issues for a number of townships and villages. But already, there is growing interest in next year’s election. Presidential election years also bring other races to the ballot, and candidates have less than two months to circulate and file petitions for both the Democratic and Republican primaries. Next year’s primary is set for March, because Ohio participates in the “Super Tuesday” presidential primary. That puts the filing deadline for candidates appearing on partisan primary ballots in that election in early December, and candidates for next year are already picking up candidacy petitions and circulating them. Many county-level offices — including judgeships — are up for election in next year’s election cycle, as are state representative seats and other state offices. County commissioners will also be elected next year. “It is a big election, and candidates are already preparing for it,” said Rita Smith, director of Meigs County’s elections board, noting that interest in seeking those offices appears strong already. Meanwhile, Smith said, the Pomeroy board has received more than 300 absentee ballot applications for the November general election, scheduled for Nov. 8.

Hired as substitute teachers for the remainder of the school year were Lisa Averion, John Greg Bailey, Eric Cullums, Vinson Martin, and Ina Meadows, with Christina Bragg, Kelsey Burton Vicki Carter and Connie Soulsby being employed as substitute personnel assistants. On recommendation of Dean Harris, transportation director, William Milliron was hired as a substitute bus driver. Tamera Zirkle was added to the substitute secretary list, and Christina Miceli and Sandra Walker as mentors for the school. Harris reported that Bus 1, a backup handicapped bus, has been retrofitted to better take care of handicapped students. Paul McElroy, director of operations, discussed several changes and improvements being made in the schools. Donna Corsi, food service supervisor, talked briefly about the verification process being undertaken to qualify students for free lunches and the necessity of a reply from parents to information she requested in a letter. She said without a response students could not qualify any time this year even though the income might decrease in future months. Corsi also noted that a $1,000 grant had been received from the Meigs County Health Department which had been used for equipment to supply free water to students.

Next moves uncertain on Obama jobs bill WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies in the Senate promise additional votes on pieces of the president’s $447 billion jobs bill, but how those pieces might be arranged and when the votes might be taken is up in the air. Instead of immediate votes on more jobs legislation, the Senate is turning to long-stalled spending legislation and then is going on recess at the end of next week. The jobs package died Tuesday at the hands of Senate Republicans, but Obama and his Senate Democratic supporters promise to force votes on items such as infrastructure spending, jobless assistance, aid to local governments, and tax cuts for individuals and businesses that were major parts of the massive bill. Obama’s top ally in the Senate says it’s unclear which items will get votes. “I’m not positive at this time what piece of the president’s bill we’re going to do,” Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said. Instead Reid said the chamber will first debate a bundle of appropriations bills setting next year’s budgets for the departments of Commerce, Agriculture, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development. That’s likely to consume next week. And with the chamber taking a vacation at the end of the month, it appears that it’ll be November at the earliest before any pieces of Obama’s jobs package get a re-vote. Obama, in his first, combative appearance since Republicans and a two Democrats filibustered his jobs plan to death, promised to keep the pressure on Congress. “Now a lot of folks in Washington and the media will look at last night’s vote and say, ‘Well, that’s it. Let’s move on to the next fight.’ But I’ve got news for them: Not this time. Not with so many Americans out of work,” he said at a White House event Wednesday recognizing Latino contributions to American history. “Not with so many folks in your communities hurting. We will not take no for an answer.” The White House is using the jobs issue as a political sword as the 2012 campaign heats up. But it will take a more bipartisan approach to actually deliver results sought by an angry public hit with 9.1 percent unemployment. Leaders of the GOP-controlled House have signaled they support tax cuts for small businesses and changes to jobless insurance to allow states to use unemployment funds for on-thejob training. And they’ve indicated they’ll be willing to accept an extension of cuts to the Social Security payroll tax. But stimulus-style spending is a nonstarter with the tea party-infused House and is a longshot in the Senate as well. Senate Democrats started sorting through the options at a closed-door meeting Wednesday, but it’s just the start of a difficult process of trying to actually advance legislation rather than air political differences. One option, backed by No. 3 Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer of New York, is to marry a tax holiday for corporations to repatriate overseas profits back to the U.S. with an Obamabacked proposal to establish a national infrastructure bank. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is pressing to extend payroll tax cuts. And many Democrats back infrastructure initiatives like road and bridge construction and money to rebuild schools. Obama’s plan died in the Senate even though he had been campaigning for it across the country for weeks. Republicans were opposed to its stimulus-style spending and its tax surcharge for the very wealthy. As lawmakers and the White House try to find the way ahead, a congressional “supercommittee” is working to come up with $1.2 trillion or more in deficit savings, some of which both Democrats and Republicans may want to claim for jobs initiatives. “There are government actions that we can take. We may take some of these on a bipartisan basis before the end of the year,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. “Some of them are probably going to be considered by the Joint Select Committee.” The supercommittee, however, is struggling to come up with a package of spending cuts. It may not meet its goal, much less have excess savings to “pay for” jobs initiatives. Many searches, few clues in Mo. baby disappearance KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Authorities searching for a missing baby in Kansas City have marched shoulder-to-shoulder through woods, rappelled down cliffs and combed through landfills. They’ve interrogated her parents for hours and called in firefighters to search a 36-foot well that seemed like a possible place to hide a tiny body. But after receiving more than 300 tips and chasing down many others, police still have no idea what happened to Lisa Irwin, a fair-haired, big-eyed baby, whose first birthday is now only a month away. Police on Wednesday were scouring a new wooded area with all-terrain vehicles and search dogs just east of the family’s home, though they said the efforts weren’t prompted by a tip. On Tuesday, police searched a nearby abandoned home and cistern, while more than 30 detectives pursued additional leads. In the week since Lisa’s parents reported her missing, investigators also have searched their home with metal detectors and re-enacted a possible abduction — all while camera crews film from the street. Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, said she checked on her daughter late Oct. 3, but the baby was gone early the next morning when her father, Jeremy Irwin, returned home from a late shift at work. The couple told police they frantically searched their home but found only that the house lights were on and a window was open. Police spokesman Capt. Steve Young has said police are pursuing all leads and taking a no-holds barred approach to the investigation. “I challenge you to name something, and I can assure you we have done it twice,” Young said early in the investigation. But he has also said all along that he and other police can’t comment on the investigation. Lisa’s parents appeared on television several times that first week but have since retreated from the media, saying they want to focus all their attention on finding Lisa. They declined to comment Tuesday. A rel- ative said family members had watched part of the well search on television. A private security consultant said Wednesday that a “high-asset” family he knows hired him to investigate the baby’s disappearance. Bill Stanton, of New York, said he would be working on the case for an undetermined amount of time and that he was “hopeful this child is safe and alive.” He would not identify who hired him but said it was not the child’s family. A spokesman for the baby’s family said Stanton would be handling media questions, but did not comment on Stanton’s role, if any, in the investigation. Young said Stanton would not have access to investigative files. “He will have access to anything the general public has access to,” Young said. John Hamilton, a former Kansas City police officer who now teaches criminal justice at Park University in nearby Parkville, Mo., said officers are as determined as anyone to find the child. “If there is any pressure, it’s to find the (baby) safe and bring her home,” Hamilton said. “Another thing people don’t realize, and this happens in a majority of big cases, is the prosecutor’s office and police are working hand-in-hand on this.” Jim Roberts, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said the subpoenas were needed to prevent broadcasters from destroying video that they might otherwise discard because it could be needed later. The subpoenas were issued by a sitting grand jury, not one called specifically for this case. As for Wednesday, the beginning of the search’s second week, Young, the police spokesman, said police would carry on. “It’s fair to assume a small amount of frustration on behalf of everybody,” he said. “But it doesn’t change the direction at all. … Tomorrow morning, I’m sure they’ll get everybody back in the (command post) and hand out leads and keep people coming and going.” �Thursday, October 13, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Calendar of Events Ask Dr. Brothers Stress-free vacationing with the kids Email items to mdrnews@mydailyregister.com Public meetings Thursday, Oct. 13 JACKSON — Gallia-Jackson-MeigsVinton Solid Waste District Board, 3:30 p.m., district office.

Lazarus Project Q & A Prescription abuse forum slated for Thursday in Rio Grande By Dr. Dan Black Holzer Clinic The following is an interview with Dr. Dan Black, a long-time , board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist at Holzer Clinic. Dr. Black is helping to coordinate a featured event on the impact of prescription drug abuse in rural America. Q. An Important event is coming up this Thursday at 7 p.m. at Bob Evans Hall at the University of Rio Grande, featuring a discussion by a national expert on drug addiction in rural America. Tell us more about that. Dr. Black : Fred Brason — the founder of Project Lazarus,a program which originated in North Carolina, will host the discussion, speaking on the significance of, and problems created by, addiction to prescription opioid pain relievers (like methadone, oxycodone, fentanyl, morphine, tramadol, or hydromorphone)….. as well as potential community-based and familybased solutions. This will be a highly informative program that should be of interest to just about everyone. Q. You mentioned the significance of prescription drug addiction, which is prevalent, particularly in rural areas. Give us an example of its impact. Dr. Black : A good example, is that of a woman in the age range of 20 to 40. This demographic, is showing the highest increase of growth in narcotics addiction nationwide. During the addiction phase, these individuals tend to have multiple births, and also tend to be on supportive services medically and socially. This scenario places the children of the addict, in a position where they are victims of their mother’s addiction. Additionally – the parents of the addict also feel an incredible burden. So , al- though it’s one individual who is the addict, the impact of the addiction is felt on at least three generations of a family. Q. If those who attend Thursday night’s event want more information about possible solutions to stemming the tide of drug addiction in their community, and within their families, where can they go to learn more? Dr. Black : Our region has an excellent resource, the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services. The community education coordinator of the board is Denise Martin, and the director is Ron Adkins. The board features a crisis counseling line and an informative website : www.gallia.oh.networkofcare.org. Additionally – if someone wants to learn more about the speaker at Thursday’s event, and Project Lazarus, they can visit www.project lazarus.org. AEP awards grant to honor retiree SYRACUSE – Syracuse Community Center received a grant from American Electrical Power in honor of AEP retiree Bob Deemer’s significant volunteer service. The AEP Connects program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their communities and supports causes that are important to them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman and chief executive officer. More than 600 grants were made company-wide last year representing more than 57,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees and retirees and their families. “Although no monetary grant can compare to the value of the time our employees and retirees give to worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program in the name of AEP volunteers will help schools and nonprofit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs,” Morris said. Bob Deemer, a very active board member, has given over 180 volunteer hours so far during this year. He is credited with having worked on about every project the Center has completed the past couple of years. “The Syracuse Community Center welcomes the $150 grant from AEP and thanks them for honoring employees and retirees who give volunteer hours to their communities,” commented a Syracuse Community Center officer. Al-Qaida confirms killing of US-born cleric CAIRO (AP) — Al-Qaida’s Yemeni offshoot on Monday confirmed the killing of U.S.-born militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki late last month and vowed to avenge the prominent propagandist’s death. The 40-year-old al-Awlaki, who died in a Sept. 30 U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen, was the most prominent al-Qaida figure to be killed since Osama bin Laden’s death in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in May. He had been in the U.S. crosshairs since his killing was approved by President Barack Obama in April 2010 — making him the first American placed on the CIA “kill or capture” list. On Monday, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula said in a statement posted on Islamist extremist websites that al-Awlaki was killed by an American airstrike, along with three other militants, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist websites. AQAP, which has become the most active al-Qaida branch in recent years, vowed to strike back. “The blood of the sheik (al-Awlaki) and his brothers will not go in vain; there are heroes behind him who The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 do not sleep under oppression, and they will retaliate soon,” the group said. “We and the Americans are at war: we get them and they get us, and the end is for those who are patient - they are the ones who will be victorious.” The strike that killed alAwlaki also killed a second American, Samir Khan, who edited al-Qaida’s Internet magazine. AQAP said two other militants were also killed. Al-Awlaki, born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, was believed to be key in turning al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen into what American officials have called the most significant and immediate threat to the Untied States. The branch plotted several failed attacks on U.S. soil — the botched Christmas 2009 attempt to blow up an American airliner heading to Detroit and a foiled 2010 attempt to send mail bombs to Chicago-area synagogues. Known as an eloquent preacher who spread English-language sermons on the internet calling for “holy war” against the United States, al-Awlaki’s role was to inspire and — it is believed — even directly recruit militants to carry out attacks. In its statement Monday, AQAP warned that while the U.S. may have killed al-Awlaki, “it cannot kill his ideas,” and that his death “gives new life and revival to his ideas and style.” It said that al-Awlaki “has students who he taught and disciples who benefited from him all over the earth, who will follow his steps and his path.” U.S. officials believe alAwlaki became involved in operational planning for AQAP, and Yemeni officials have said al-Awlaki had contacts with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the accused would-be Christmas plane bomber, who was in Yemen in 2009. In New York, the Pakistani-American man who pleaded guilty to the May 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt told interrogators he was “inspired” by al-Awlaki after making contact over the Internet. Al-Awlaki also exchanged up to 20 emails with U.S. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, alleged killer of 13 people in the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at Fort Hood. Hasan initiated the contacts, drawn by al-Awlaki’s Internet sermons, and approached him for religious advice. Dear Dr. Brothers: My family is preparing for a big vacation this year. The last time we went on vacation with our kids, it was really stressful, and they didn’t have that great a time because of all the changes to their normal routine and how tiring our itinerary was. We’ve toned it down a bit for this year, but we’re still nervous that our kids won’t have a good time. What are some ways we can keep them engaged and happy while traveling? — J.G. Dear J.G.: You’ve already identified the main culprit that can take the fun right out of a vacation: exhaustion. Travel can be tiring for adults, and it’s that much more difficult for children, especially if you’re changing time zones or sitting in a car for hours at a time. To give yourself and the kids a chance to rest up, try not to schedule anything particularly strenuous or tiring for the first day; instead, take it easy and leave time to sleep in and relax. And if you notice your kids — or yourself, for that matter — getting tired during the day, don’t be afraid to change your plans to get some extra rest. After all, vacations are about relaxation, not checking off all the items on your vacation to-do list. This brings me to my next suggestion: Be flexible. Staying flexible and being open to changes in plans or new and different activities is what makes vacations great. Take a look at weather reports to help plan your day, but if an unexpected thunderstorm comes up, don’t let that derail your whole day. If you’re a big planner, just be sure to come up with a list of bad-weather or restful backup activities. And finally, while it can be tempting to allow your discipline of your kids to slide on vacation, it actually will help keep them in line if you enforce the same rules as at home. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My kids are great readers during the school year, but I feel like I lose all of that progress during the summer when they’re busy going to the pool and heading off to summer camp. I don’t want to ruin their summers or force them to stay inside reading when the weather’s nice and their friends are all playing, but I hate the idea that they don’t get any education in the summer. How can I keep them interested in reading during the summer? — E.N. Dear E.N.: It’s great that you’re so involved in your kids’ education, and that you’re trying to keep them interested during the summer. It’s true that it can be difficult to put reading at the top of your priority list, especially when it’s warm and sunny. But there are some ways to integrate reading into your summer activities without it seeming like a burden for you or your kids. Bring books with you to the pool, beach or park, and keep up a reading routine with your kids. If they’re used to a bedtime story, continue this tradition all summer. You also can wait for a rainy day, and use it to visit your local library. Many libraries have summer reading programs and contests, even for young readers, and a library card can make kids feel empowered to control their own reading lists. You also can integrate writing into your kids’ summer activities. Help your kids write postcards to family members when you’re on vacation, or even if you’re staying at home. Road trips can be the perfect opportunity for audiobooks. You even can try making books on your own — have your kids draw pictures and write captions about their favorite summer activities, or include photographs from your summer and paste them into a scrapbook or notebook. Then you and your kids can revisit your summer vacation even in the dead of winter!

It may feel as if your situation can’t get any worse. There may be one event that stresses you out or a cumulative series of circumstances. Regardless of the cause, if you hit bottom you can bounce back. But you have to believe you can and you have to want to. Although this appears to be obvious, there are people who don’t think it’s possible to get back up or do not have the drive to do so. Hitting bottom is emotionally and physically draining. You may find yourself devoid of ambition or lacking enthusiasm. Staying at the bottom, wallowing in self-pity, is not an option. Regardless of why you hit bottom, or how long you have been there, you need to immediately begin the process of bouncing back. Bouncing back involves several components: desire, determination, action, perseverance, and an open mind. The process starts with desire. You have to want to improve your situation. If you don’t, you won’t. Saying something to yourself similar to, “I guess it would be nice if things were better but I don’t know if it’s possible,” will not work. You mindset must be, “I’m going to do whatever it takes to improve where I am and how I feel.” Next you need a plan. A clearly defined and understood set of steps is essential. You don’t have to formulate a plan on your own. Being at the bottom can impact your perspective along with the ability to think clearly. Look to people who have gotten themselves out of the same predicament you are facing. You can learn a lot from them as to what strategies are most effective. Devise as many steps as necessary. Each one needs to be small enough to avoid being overwhelming. There is a natural tendency to avoid tasks that are too large. A plan with steps you won’t take is of no value. Now you are ready for action. Begin with the first step in your plan. No step is too small. Getting started is the key. The slightest bit of forward progress is significant. Give yourself credit for each accomplishment. Without action, nothing happens. If you stop, all progress ceases. Bouncing back takes effort but suffering is no picnic either. Since whatever path you take requires energy, it makes sense to choose a course which will lead you to a desirable destination. The more effort you put into implementing your plan, the more effective you will be. You are not going to bounce back in one step. The journey is a progression that takes place one step at a time. Patience is required. Frustration is a common component of the process. Giving up is not an option. Persistence is the key to getting to where you want to be. You may experience setbacks. It doesn’t matter. Pick yourself up and get back on track. Concentrate on your destination rather than your current situation. Forward is the only direction that’s important. You can bounce back from hitting bottom. People do it all the time. You need desire, a plan, and then action. There is no magic involved. When you find yourself at a low point, it’s only a detour, not a final destination. It is never too late to change direction.

Good news for women’s health and pocketbooks By Cindy Pearson and Lois Uttley The Institute of Medicine, an independent panel of doctors and health experts, has just recommended that insurance companies be told to stop charging co-pays for contraception and several other types of women’s preventive health care in any new health plans. Ending those extra outof-pocket insurance charges will be good for women’s health and good for women’s pocketbooks. Medical experts also are urging that insurance companies end co-pays for breastfeeding supports, including rental of breast pumps, and for annual well woman exams, HIV infection screening and counseling for women experiencing domestic violence. Most of the public attention so far, though, has focused on the experts’ recommendations about contraception. No wonder, because the vast majority of women in our country have used birth control at some time in their lives. For young women and their families who are struggling in these tough economic times, a $20 or $30 co-pay can make it difficult to afford to fill a birth control prescription each month. Some contraceptive methods like IUDs, which work better for certain women, require co-pays or deductibles that can run into hundreds of dollars. It’s understandable that women facing financial stress report they use contraception inconsistently and put off family planning office visits to save money. Without affordable and reliable contraception, however, women face the risk of unintended pregnancy. In fact, half of all pregnancies in this country are now unintended. Medical experts point out that there can be serious health consequences for both women and babies from these “surprise” pregnancies. When a woman isn’t able to space pregnancies, allowing enough time between them, her risk of experiencing maternal health problems increases. This is especially true for women who have health conditions like high blood pressure or heart disease that may exacerbated by pregnancy, problems that disproportionately affect women of color. Women whose pregnancies are not planned are less likely to receive timely prenatal care, quit smoking and begin taking adequate folic acid to promote a healthy pregnancy. When there is an interval of less than a year between births – which can happen when a woman has no family planning — the chances increase for a pre-term birth and a low birth-weight baby who will be at risk of serious complications and even death The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has cited family planning as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century precisely because it improved the health of women and their babies. But affordable contraception does more than protect women’s health. It also protects a family’s economic security, by enabling women to have children when they are able to support them. That’s why the American public strongly supports family planning services – with 84 percent of those polled in June by Lake Research Associates citing contraception as an importance preventive health service. We urge the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine in full and require that new insurance plans remove co-pays and out extra charges for family planning and contraceptives. It will be a historic step for women’s health and the economic well-being of families across America. Pearson and Uttley are cofounders of Raising Women’s Voices for the Health Care We Need.

Winslow Myers The seemingly intractable discord between Israel and Palestine not only continues to cause enormous suffering and anxiety, but also to reverberate around the planet as a kind of symbol of all our conflicts in what we might call the post-nuclear age. The mid-20th century superpowers were forced to admit, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis, that war at the nuclear level was self-defeating, a victory only for war itself, not for the participants. Isn’t that ultimately true for all wars, large or small? Yet the world, including the superpowers, continues to divide along the Israeli-Palestinian fault-line, almost as if one had to have an adversary to be clear in one’s identity. The conflict has functioned as an iconic symbol of general feelings of fear or powerlessness or injustice, let alone claims to the same territory, that give rise to the best or the worst in us as we humans try to resolve our endless differences. It is symbolic in a darker and more specific sense for the Arab world, where—even as the Arab Spring flourishes—the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has encouraged antiSemitic stereotypes and still energizes the hatred of extremist groups like Al Quaeda. Not all conflicts involve sides with equally legitimate aspirations. Few would recognize the legitimacy of drug cartels to dominate and corrupt the governments of whole nations like Mexico or Afghanistan. And in the United States, there is a growing recognition that some financial institutions have profited obscenely by betting against markets and throwing millions into poverty, avoiding criminal prosecution through their power over elected officials. Even now a new “Arab Spring”-like protest against insufficiently regulated corporate power is growing in many cities across the United States. It is the rough equality of the legitimacy of the Palestinians’ and the Israelis’ demands for security 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 Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. and land that makes that conflict particularly difficult. The Jewish people have a history that has earned them the right to a certain realistic paranoia about adversaries. The Palestinians are legitimately concerned by the expansionist impulse of Jewish settlers who create more “facts on the ground” as each year passes without resolution. The issue has tied the United States government in ethical knots as it tries to maintain its traditional support for Israel while not condoning Jewish expansion into territory that might lie within a future Palestinian state. President Obama, caught in a difficult political position, nevertheless said one true thing in his latest appearance before the United Nations: “Each side has legitimate aspirations—and that’s part of what makes peace so hard. And the deadlock will only be broken when each side learns to stand in the other’s shoes; each side can see the world through the other’s eyes.” This rough equality is why, in spite of the contortions candidates for high office in the U.S. must undergo to stay in the good graces of a powerful Israeli lobbying effort, and also in spite of the fact that Hamas still refuses to accept Israeli’s right to exist, President Obama had it right when he said that each side must learn to see with each others’ eyes. Seeing with each other’s eyes must begin with self-examination, because the conflict also represents the universal human propensity to externalize what some Islamic scholars have called the Greater Jihad, our struggle with ourselves and our own shadow-side, into a Lesser Jihad, a zero-sum game in which we simplify “enemies” into stereotypes who are different from us and wish us ill. This is happening not only between Israelis and Palestinians, but also Pashtuns and Tajiks, Shias and Sunnis—and let’s not forget Democrats and Republicans. The insight, or intersight, of empathy is not a political act in the usual way we think of politics as competitive jockeying for power. It is something that takes place on a deeper level, within and between individual people. It requires the sharing of separate stories that take their place in the common story of what everyone wants for their children— a world without genocidal weapons, drug violence, militarism, or financial institutions that have forgotten their obligation to the common good. Empathy as a principle can seep into politics as a refusal to take sides, a refusal to define ourselves negatively in terms of whom we fear and hate, an embrace of global citizenship that looks for what is best for the whole. The world we want for our children, for all children, cannot and will not be a world without conflict. But we can build a world where, from the time they are very young, children grow up understanding that conflict and difference are not negative, but an opportunity for examining ourselves in the spirit of Greater Jihad, for learning the skills of everyday peacebuilding, and for moving toward creative resolution of conflict on the basis of common aspirations. The ultimate implications of the Arab Spring for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are still unclear. The paradigm of violence, “an eye for an eye,” still holds our world in the balance, but as citizens both in the Middle East and our own country turn increasingly to non-violent assembly and protest, we are witnessing the possibility of something new that is both political and beyond politics—a movement into the mainstream of Gandhian tactics of non-violence and creative initiative. May everything we think and do further this new spirit of true reciprocity, the dawning realization that we are all in this together.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Levi Miller, Johnny Mullet, Lester Mullet and two other men were in Holmes County Municipal Court on Wednesday on kidnapping and burglary charges. Prosecutor Steve Knowling tells the newspaper the leader of their group, Sam Mullet, posted bail. Jail personnel say Mullet would have paid cash or at least 10 percent to a bonding agent. The sheriff says men entered a home Oct. 3 and used scissors and clippers to cut the beards of the bishop of another community and his son. Amish beards carry spiritual significance. Mullet says beard-cuttings are in response to criticism from other Amish leaders about his practices. Ohio stations pull ad with recut footage of woman COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A count by the union-backed group We Are Ohio finds that 30 television stations in Ohio media markets have pulled an ad by their opponents. At issue is a Building a Better Ohio commercial that features recut footage of a great-grandmother who is against the state’s new collective bargaining restrictions. The union-backed coalition claims their opponents’ ad is misleading, because the woman appears in one of its ads and asks voters to repeal the law. Building a Better Ohio used the same footage, but cut her repeal request. The group says some stations are now running the ad again. Gov. John Kasich said Wednesday he thought the ad was fine. The governor supports the new restrictions. A We Are Ohio spokeswoman says the coalition is reviewing its legal options. Court board wants Ohio attorney reprimanded COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court’s disciplinary board has recommended that the court publicly reprimand a former state lawyer fired for intercepting sensitive e-mails between Ohio public safety employees and investigators. The recommendation for reprimanding Joshua Engel was issued Wednesday. A hearing panel found that Engel violated the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct. Engel’s attorney says his client agreed to the recommendation. Engel pleaded guilty last year to three misdemeanor counts of disclosing confidential information and was sentenced to $750 and 30 days suspended jail time on each count. He agreed to cooperate with state investigations regarding the e-mail interceptions and a botched drug sting at the governor’s residence. Engels has said the interceptions were intended to determine how confidential information was being leaked to reporters and others. Ex-Ky. soldier sentenced in homeless man’s beating CINCINNATI (AP) — An ex-soldier from Kentucky has been sentenced to five years in the beating of a homeless man sleeping under an Ohio bridge. Former Army Pvt. Riley Feller was sentenced Wednesday. He pleaded no contest to felonious assault. Twenty-five-year-old Feller and three other men were charged in the April 2010 attack on 52-year-old John Johnson in Cincinnati. Johnson was hit with a baseball bat and pipe and suffered facial fractures. Authorities say the four were drinking and one suggested they “kick somebody’s butt.” Feller was based at Fort Knox. Two ex-soldiers from North Carolina received 90-day sentences Tuesday after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault. Feller’s attorney says he had sought a similar sentence but doesn’t know if Feller will appeal. The fourth man is to be sentenced Oct. 28 for felonious assault. Historic church closing near Ohio Statehouse COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A more than 150-year-old church with a shrinking congregation is set to close about a block from the Ohio Statehouse. The last service at Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Columbus is planned for Nov. 20. Church leadership council member Linda Wood tells The Columbus Dispatch the church has only about 40 active members, making it difficult to pay the bills. The congregation was founded in 1839, and the church was dedicated in 1860. Historical information on the Columbus Metropolitan Library website says the church has a stained glass window that was displayed first at a Chicago world’s fair, where it won an award. A lawyer overseeing the closing says the plan is to sell the church, possibly to a buyer who will turn it into a performance space. Myanmar releases dissidents, keeps many locked up YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar freed an outspoken critic and a major ethnic rebel as it began releasing 6,300 convicts Wednesday in its latest liberalizing move, but kept some political detainees behind bars, dampening hopes for a broader amnesty. It was not clear how many of the country’s estimated 2,000 political detainees were included in the amnesty — one estimate said only 206 of them were freed. But the released included ailing Shan Army commander Hso Hten and comedian Zarganar, who was imprisoned after criticizing the government’s response to Cyclone Nargis in 2008. “I will be happy and I will thank the government only when all of my friends are freed,” Zarganar told The Associated Press after his release in northernmost Kachin State. Those held back included student leaders from Myanmar’s failed 1988 democracy uprising and a blogger serving a 12-year prison sentence. Western governments, the U.N. and Myanmar’s opposition have eagerly awaited a broad political amnesty as a gesture of liberalization by the elected government after decades of harsh military rule. A failure to follow through on those hopes could hamper the country’s efforts to burnish its human rights record and win a lifting of Western economic and political sanctions. In Washington, the State Department welcomed Wednesday’s releases, but said the Myanmar government had not published a list of those freed or designated to be freed. The department said its initial reports were that the majority of political prisoners remain in detention, including 1988 protest leader Min Ko Naing and ethnic Shan leader Hkun Htun Oo. The U.S., which has been seeking ways to re-engage with Myanmar, reiterated its call for the immediate release of all remaining prisoners of conscience. Relatives of convicts held emotional reunions with loved ones outside prisons around the country a day after the country’s new civilian president declared an amnesty for 6,359 inmates — many of them ordinary criminals — on humanitarian grounds, but without disclosing any names. “The freedom of each individual is invaluable, but I wish that all political prisoners would be released,” said Myanmar’s most prominent pro-democracy campaigner, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy confirmed the release of 155 political detainees, including members of her party, spokesman Nyan Win said. But other dissidents could have been freed without having contacted anyone yet. The U.S. Campaign for Burma, a Washington, D.C.-based support group for Myanmar’s democracy movement, said late Wednesday it had confirmed the release of 206 political prisoners. President Thein Sein, a retired senior army officer who took office in March, has launched a series of economic reforms and eased limits on freedom of speech by relaxing censorship and unblocking banned websites. He also has started a dialogue with Suu Kyi, made calls for peace with ethnic minority rebel groups and suspended a controversial China-backed hydropower dam project after a public outcry. “The pace of change is much faster than I would have expected,” said Monique Skidmore, a Myanmar expert at the University of Canberra. “Thein Sein must be feeling pretty secure.” But she added that he knows the release of political prisoners must be comprehensive, “otherwise there will be no end to sanctions.” The human rights group Amnesty International called Wednesday’s releases a “minimum first step,” and said the authorities “must immediately and unconditionally release all remaining prisoners of conscience.” Among those released were Hso Hten, the Shan Army commander, who was serving a 106year prison sentence for high treason following his arrest in 2005. The activist Zarganar had been serving a 35-year sentence in Myitkyina prison. Zarganar was detained after giving interviews to foreign media criticizing the former military rulers for being slow to respond to Cyclone Nargis, which left nearly 140,000 people dead or missing. He was convicted of causing public alarm and illegally giving information to the media. “I am not happy at all, as none of my 14 so-called political prisoner friends from Myitkyina prison are among those freed today,” he told the AP by phone as he waited to board a plane to Yangon. The sister of famous former student leader Min Ko Naing said she was told he was not on the list of those to be freed. “We are used to these ups and downs,” Kyi Kyi Nyunt said. Min Ko Naing has been serving a 65-year sentence at a prison in Shan State in northeastern Myanmar since 2008 for staging a street protest against a massive fuel price hike. He was arrested in August 2007 along with other well-known former students who were previously jailed after being at the forefront of the failed prodemocracy uprising in 1988. Activists and relatives said it appeared that most or all of his imprisoned “88 Generation” comrades remained behind bars. Ashin Gambira, a young charismatic monk who was among the leaders of a September 2007 anti-government uprising, was not on the list of those freed, said Nai Nai, who handles political prisoner affairs for Suu Kyi’s party. The demonstrations attracted as many as 100,000 people at their height before being brutally suppressed. In Manila, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III urged more democratic reforms. “There seems to be some opening of the democratic space within Myanmar,” he told a news conference. “We would like more and more of that.” ___ Associated Press writers Matthew Pennington in Washington and Jim Gomez in Manila contributed to this report. Europe speeds up capital rules for big banks BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe’s biggest banks must raise billions of euros in capital to better withstand market turmoil, the European Commission proposed Wednesday, as it embarked on a major push to contain the continent’s escalating debt troubles and avert a second recession. The fear gripping the financial sector is that banks may soon have to take big losses on bonds they own from governments with shaky finances, like Greece. That uncertainty is stifling lending — both between banks and to the wider economy — threatening to kill off a halting recovery in the 17-nation eurozone and much of the rest of the world. The Commission, the EU’s executive body, believes that boosting confidence in Europe’s financial sector is a crucial step that will allow the continent’s leaders to tackle Greece’s massive debts and stop the debt crisis from spinning out of control. The commission also is trying hard to protect large, troubled economies like Italy and Spain, which are too big to be bailed out, from being dragged into the debt crisis. Wednesday’s proposals, presented by Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, foresee that key lenders in Europe will have to implement new international rules on bank capital much earlier than 2019, as was initially planned. Barroso also warned that banks should not be allowed to pay out dividends or bonuses until they have raised their capital buffers to the new standards. Under the so-called Basel III rules, the continent’s biggest banks have to bolster the financial pad they maintain to absorb losses to about 9 percent of their Need to advertise? Call The Daily Sentinel 740.992.2155 loans, investments and other risky assets, compared with the 5 percent to 6 percent they needed to pass this summer’s stress tests. Many experts have criticized those stress tests as way too lenient. Barroso did not say when the new capital levels would have to be reached, but a person familiar with the matter said it would happen “substantially earlier” than 2019. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the European Banking Authority won’t disclose the new standards until next week. Barroso presented the proposals on bank capital as part of a broader plan to tackle the currency union’s debt troubles, which have dragged on for close to two years. He also lobbied for continued support for Greece, a more effective use of the eurozone’s bailout fund, and bigger powers for the Commission to control national budgets. The EU’s executive hopes the leaders of the 27-nation bloc will embrace its suggestions at a crucial summit on Oct. 23 — which officials believe may be their last chance to solve the debt crisis before it really explodes. By revealing its plans ahead of that meeting, the Commission sought to pile more pressure on national governments, which have often moved slowly on more radical action. Banks immediately came out against the proposed acceleration of Basel III. “The banking federation Trollbeads will donate $22 of your purchase of the Strength, Courage and Wisdom ring and Pink Prism bead gift set to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. Available at Hartwell House Strength-Courage-Wisdom ring w/rose ribbon $99 (while supplies last) 100 East Main Street Pomeroy, Ohio 740-992-7696 Gold Plus Premier Dealer considers these proposals unsuitable, because they don’t attack the origins of the current sovereign debt crisis,” said Michael Kemmer, head of the German banking federation said. Banks around the world have lobbied hard against stricter regulation on capital buffers, warning that it would force them to restrict lending to businesses and limit other key activities. But banking shares and the euro continued to surge after Barroso’s proposals, continuing a weeklong rally triggered by hopes that the eurozone may finally get a grip on its worsening debt crisis. To assess banks’ capital needs, Barroso said their exposure to all sovereign debt should be taken into account “in a transparent way.” The Commission asked for a “prudent valuation of all sovereign debt, whether in the banking book or the trading book” of banks. That’s an important change from July’s stress tests, when banks had to take writedowns only on bonds in their trading books, where they hold assets they could sell at any time. Lenders did not have to prove they have enough capital to also absorb potential losses on bonds they plan to hold until they mature. Barroso said if banks can’t raise the necessary capital on the market, they should get help from governments, which in turn can ask for money from the eurozone bailout fund. �Sports The Daily Sentinel Local Schedule Thursday, October 13 Volleyball Jackson at Gallia Academy, 5:15 p.m. South Gallia at Miller, 6 p.m. Southern at Eastern, 6 p.m. Meigs at Wellston, 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Poca, 6 p.m. Belpre at Wahama, 6 p.m. Ohio Valley Christian at Hannan, 6 p.m. Soccer Chillicothe at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant (boys) at Ironton St. Joe, 5 p.m. Cross Country Gallia Academy at SEOAL League Meet, TBA Friday, October 14 Golf Division II State Tournament at North Star Golf Course Football Eastern at Canton Central Catholic, 7:30 p.m. Wahama at South Gallia, 7:30 p.m. Waterford at Southern, 7:30 p.m. Meigs at Wellston, 7:30 p.m. Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7:30 p.m. Coal Grove at River Valley, 7:30 p.m. Ravenswood at Point Pleasant, 7:30 p.m. Hannan at Betsy Layne (KY), 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 15 Golf Division II State Tournament at North Star Golf Course Volleyball OVCS at OCSAA First Round, TBA Soccer Jackson at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Cross Country TVC Meet at Vinton County, 10 a.m. Briefs Finale at Bob Roberts Field POMEROY, Ohio — The Meigs Marauders will be playing their final game at Bob Roberts Field on Friday, October 28, against Alexander.

Cumberlands slips past RedStorm Rio volleyball beats Central State Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio – Ginger Johnson’s goal at 32:03 gave the University of the Cumberlands a first half lead and the Patriots made it stand up, posting a 1-0 win over the University of Rio Grande, Monday night, in Mid-South Conference women’s soccer action. The loss was the third consecutive setback for the RedStorm and its fourth despite allowing two goals or less. Two of the losses among those four have been by 1-0 scores. “I get along well with the coach at Cumberlands and I respect the job he does with his team, but I thought the better team lost tonight,” said Rio Grande head coach Callum Morris. “We got some girls leaving here who are down in the dumps and rightfully so. We’re not getting any breaks and it’s been that way most of the season. They’re working hard, they just not getting rewarded for it.” Johnson found the back of the net from 15 yards out on the right wing, scoring off a crossing pass from Janina Schulze. “Another game where one mistake cost us,” Morris said. “It was lazy defense on the part of players you don’t expect that from. We just have lapses that hurt.” The RedStorm (4-8 overall, 1-4 MidSouth Conference) were more aggressive Sanders hears ‘Bar-ry! Bar-ry” chants in Detroit DETROIT (AP) — The Motor City welcomed back Barry Sanders — with a roar. The Hall of Fame running back was serenaded with “Bar-ry! Bar-ry!” chants by a handful of fans when he walked onto the turf at Ford Field about an hour before Detroit played Chicago on Monday night. After being on the field for the coin flip, the national anthem was delayed slightly because tens of thousands wouldn’t stop chanting “Bar-ry! Bar-ry” just as they did at the Pontiac Silverdome. Sanders was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004, five years after his retirement that left some Lions fans bitter in part because he walked away when he was one of his average seasons away from breaking Walter Payton’s career rushing record. He had been booed by fans in the area, most notably at a Pistons game, but they seem to have moved on to hail him. “I think they’re cool with me now from what I can tell,” Sanders said before the game in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think we’ve all had a chance to reflect. I have mostly good memo- ries about good times.” Sanders was surrounded by fans in downtown Detroit, posed for pictures with security guards outside the stadium and was greeted by comic actor Tim Allen when he strolled down the tunnel toward the field. Sanders said he hasn’t been to a Lions game in a couple of years and has attended about five since he retired. Sanders insisted he didn’t blame fans in Detroit when they were upset with him years ago. “They’re very passionate here about sports so they’re going to have a very passionate reaction when you do something like I did,” he said. Sanders recorded a Detroit-related introduction for “Monday Night Football” after ESPN pulled the “Are you ready for some football?” theme by Hank Williams Jr. He made an analogy that President Barack Obama and House Speaker Rep. John Boehner golfing together was like Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu playing a round. The network says the intro will change each week. “I just said some kind words about the town and the team with a script they gave me,” Sanders said. “I enjoyed it and definitely considered it an honor to be a part of the overall buzz this team has created.” The Lions won their first four games for the first time since 1980, nearly a decade before they drafted Sanders No. 3 overall out of Oklahoma State. “It’s a lot of fun to see this success, getting a little taste of the fruits of what you can accomplish when you put it together on the field,” Sanders said. “Hopefully they’ll continue to learn how to win and to stay hungry. “To this point, though, this team has fulfilled all hopes and expectations.” Sanders’ alma mater might have a shot to land his son, Barry Sanders Jr., who the proud father said is also being recruited by Stanford, Florida State and Alabama. “BJ is a senior in high school down in Oklahoma City and he’s looking around at colleges,” said Sanders, who lives in the Detroit area with his wife and their three children. “I’m relatively involved, going to a few recruiting trips.” WILBERFORCE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande started fast and never let up, cruising to an easy 3-0 win over Central State University, Monday night, in nonconference volleyball action. The RedStorm, which won for the third straight time after losing their previous five outings, took the match by scores of 25-11, 25-12 and 25-9 to improve to 13-11 overall. “It was a good win,” said URG assistant coach Holly Motheral. “Everybody got into the match and everybody contributed on the stat sheet. It was nice to get some of the younger kids some experience.” Freshman setter Sydney Morris led a balanced attack for the RedStorm with 10 assists and three service aces. Sophomore Kids are all right: Short-handed US wins gym gold TOKYO (AP) — Just imagine if the Americans were at full strength. Unfazed by the loss of Beijing Olympic captain Alicia Sacramone, the Americans won their third title at the world gymnastics championships Tuesday night with a commanding performance that lets everyone know they’re the team to beat next summer in London. Regardless of who’s on the roster. “Team USA is really strong,” Aly Raisman said, “and we’re just going to keep getting stronger.” The Americans scored 179.411 points, finishing a whopping 4 points ahead of Russia, last year’s champion. To get an idea of just how big the rout was, think of the pastings that college football powerhouses put on their nonconference opponents and you get the idea. Even the Russians had to applaud as the Americans finished on floor exercise, the gold medal already decided. As the last notes of Aly Raisman’s music faded, the Americans jumped up and down and exchanged hugs. They gave a big cheer of “US-A!” as they waited for Raisman’s score, then walked off the floor, index fingers held high in the air. “I was hoping for it, but I could not be 100 percent sure because there were so many newcomers,” said national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, beaming. “These girls were standing up very confident, very powerful out there.” The gold is the 10th medal at worlds for Sacramone, breaking the American record she’d shared Shannon Miller and Nastia Liukin. Sacramone, who had surgery Monday to repair a torn Achilles tendon,sent a message to the team on Twitter afterward, saying, “Words can’t describe how proud I am of all of you!” Alexander Alexandrov, Russia’s coach, insisted he was more than “satisfied” with the second-place finish. The Russians were without defending world champion Aliya Mustafina, who blew out her knee in April, and Alexandrov said Anna Dementyeva had been running a fever in recent days. The Americans were dealt a huge blow when Sacramone tore her Achilles during training last Thursday. Not only did that leave Raisman as the only American who’d competed at a world championships — Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, Sabrina Vega and Gabby Douglas are all firstyear seniors — but Sacramone puts up huge scores on vault, where she’s the defending world champion, balance beam and floor exercise. But the youngsters never faltered, cruising through qualifying without a single missed routine. However, team finals are a different type of pressure-cooker. Scoring starts from scratch and the format changes, with three gymnasts competing on each event and all three scores counting. There is zero room for error — or growing pains. “I just told them, ‘We’re going to remember this night for the rest of our lives so let’s make it count,’” Raisman said. They sure did, strutting onto the floor and turning the meet into their coming out party. “There’s only one better way to follow a 20-for-20 performance (in qualifying), and that’s 12-for-12 in team finals,” U.S. coach John Geddert said. “I think they’re oblivious. I didn’t see one ounce of nerves out there. It was ‘Let’s have fun and go do gymnastics.’” They started on vault where, even without Sacramone, they’re a fearsome bunch. Raisman had the “weakest” vault — any other country would have been thrilled to count it for their highest score — and she executed it perfectly. Wieber and Maroney each do one of the hardest vaults in the world — a roundoff onto the takeoff board, back handspring onto the vault and then 2.5 twists before landing — yet make it look like child’s play. Wieber’s was possibly the best she’s done all year, soaring high above the vault and needing only a small step to the side to control her landing. The Americans had barely finished slapping hands when Maroney did one even better. She got such great height the folks in the lower section had to crane their necks to see her, and her legs were pencil-straight in the air. Despite all that power, her feet hit the mat with a solid thud and stayed put, not budging a centimeter. A bright smile spread across her face as she threw her hands in the air, and her teammates screamed. The Americans scored a 46.816, and Russia couldn’t match it — either in difficulty or execution. All three of their gymnasts did less-difficult vaults, and Tatiana Nabieva was so low she was lucky not to land on her knees. By the time they moved to the second rotation, the Americans had built a 2.3-point lead. Good thing, too, because uneven bars is Russia’s best event — and the Americans’ worst. If Russia was going to catch the U.S. anywhere, it would be there. Viktoria Komova looked like a ballerina as she pirouetted on the high bar, and flitted from one bar to the other with the lightness of a feather. She had a slight hop on her dismount, but her score — 15.566 — helped the Russians pare the American lead down to about 1.5 points midway through the meet. �Thursday, October 13, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 Rentals 3 Bedroom & 2 Bath $500/Mo. & $500 dep.
