BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINELCOM POMEROY The Federal Emergency Management Agency has canceled the $8 I I .750 grant the Pomeroy Fire Department was awarded to build a substation in Bedford Township. The Dailv Sentinel has made repeated cafls to FEMA to find out why the grant was canceled, none of which have been returned. At Monday night's meeting of Pomeroy Village Council, Pomeroy Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar told council he was told by FEMA officials the "straw'' that broke the camel's back, in terms of the grant being canceled. was the Bedford Township Trustees pulling out of a verbal agreement to allow Pomeroy to build the station on township property. Blaettnar stressed the • WEATHER grant was not canceled because personnel with the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department did anything wrong. He added the buck stopped with him in terms of not getting the verbal agreement in writing. Blaettnar said there is an appeals process concerning the grant's cancellation and that option was being explored. Blaettnar said it"s his understanding FEMA was to give the department a 60-day time peri- od regarding the property issue which it didn't receive. The alternative site the department was interested in se<.:uring is owned by the Ohio Department of Tr~nsportation and within a onemile radius of the previous site currently owned by the township. as per FEMA's instructions.

Mine blast probe awaits recovery of final 9 bodies BY LAWRENCE MESSI~A AND TIM HUBER ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, W.Va. Federal investigators rurived Monday at the West Virginia mine where 29 men died in an explosion last week to begin piecing together what caused the worst U.S. coal mining disaster since 1970. Thirty miles to the north, hundreds of mourners including the governor observed a moment of silence at the state Capitol, during a wreath-laying ceremony at the foot of a statue honoring the state's miners. Karen Barker was among scores of state workers who attended. "My dad was a miner and my grandfather was a miner. 1 have no idea how these people feel about losing their family member, but I can imagine," said Barker, 46, of Charleston. The team of inspectors at the Opper Big Branch mine weren't heading underground until searchers removed all the bodies from the mine. The team from the Mine Safety and Health Administration briefed Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and MSHA director Joe Main at the mine. The last bodies were expected to be taken out Monday, state mine office spokeswoman Jama Jarrett said. Recovery efforts had been stalled in previous days by volatile gases, but teams entered after the tunnels were ventilated. She said the crews late Monday were near where the bodies are located. The state panel that writes mining safety rules and typically reviews inspectors· reports after the investigations are complete said it would like to join the investigators underground this time. Richmond, Va.-based Massey has been under .scrutiny for a string of safety violations at the mine, CEO Don though Blankenship has defended the company's record and disputed accusations that he puts profits ahead of safety. Authorities have said high methane levels may have played a role in the disaster. Massey has been repeatedly Cited and fined for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up. Honrs after the blast, the company flew Gov. Joe Manchin back from a Florida vacation on one of its planes, Manchin said. The governor's top lawyer told him the use of the company's plane was acceptable because it was an emergency and a flight on a state plane couldn't immediately be arranged. New York state's comptroller and a pension fund adviser called for Blankenship's resignation immediately as chairman of Massey's board. Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, trustee of a retirement fund holding more than 300.000 shares of Massex stock worth $14 million. saiGthe company failed to ade- • quately manage risks at the West Virginia mine where 29 died after an explosion. A similar challenge came in a letter to Massey from William Patterson, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based CtW Investment Group, which works with union pension funds. Mourning continued exactly a week after the explosion, with the ceremony at the state Capitol and a moment of silence at 3:30p.m. President Barack Obama ordered all U.S. flags in the state flown at half-staff until sunset Sunday. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell also asked people in his state to observe the moment of silence. He restored $750,000 in funding for mine safety inspections iri Virginia to the state's strained budget, saying the tragedy in West Virginia was a wakeup call. Beneath a sunny sky, several hundred people held hands and prayed aloud during the ceremony. Four black-ribboned wreaths were placed at the memorial, as more than a dozen family members of those killed looked on. The largest bore white roses for each miner killed, and two yellow roses for the injured. Twenty-nine yellow helmets were lined up in front of the statue, a black ribbon on each. A bell rang 29 times for each of the fallen miners. During a moment of silence that followed, sobs could be heard both from the family and the crowd thronged around them with heads bowed. "Our goal is to have the safest workplace in America,'' Manchin said. "Someone who's willing to work hard and put everything on the line to provide for themselves and their family ... should expect to come home safely." Solis attended the ceremony and echoed that sentiment, while offering condolences to the family from President Barack Obama. "No miner should ever lose his life in order to provide for his family,'' Solis said. ''I will do everything in my power to ensure that we prevent these kinds of tragedies."

The Daily Sentinel ASK l)R. Tuesday, April13, 2010 BROTHEI~S Does his ex-Wife talk badly about him? Dear Dr. Brothers: My I0-year-old son has been treating me 1ike ,-~.-. .... I'm the worst person ever. lt didn't used to be like this - before the Dr. Joyce divorce, we had a great Brothers relationship. But now, two months into the split. every time I pick him up for our weekend visits, he has a frown on his face that never leaves the whole time I'm with him. I think my ex-wife is telling him things about me. I don't want to subject him to the third degree to make matters worse, so how do I find out what's really going on? - T.D. Dear T.D.: It would seem from your son's behavior that your ex-wife possibly is talking trash about you to him. But it also is possible that he is just having a hard time adjusting to the two of you being divorced. Two months is not a very long time to get used to this whole new situation. in which he may feel that his loyalty to each of you is being tested. when he is merely trying to keep the connection going that he's always had with you. Your instinct not to grill him and make him selfconscious about his feelings and behavior is a good one - it also avoids the inevitable clash with his mother when she finds out you have been subjecting him•to questioning about her behavior and motivations. Don't let him be tattletale, nor messenger. Little boys frequently are protective of their mother~. especially when they feel that someone (you. in this case) has made Mom unhappy. regardless of the reasons you and your wife had to split up. Whether or not she has been trying to brainwash him, it's very possible that he has developed some hostility toward you for allowing the situation to deteriorate to the point of breaking up. and for hurting his mother and. by extension. himself. Sit down with him and acknowledge how bad you feel about what has happened to the family - without assigning any blame, unless you take some yourself. That could defuse things while you get your bearings.

If it's not the temperature of the room she's complaining about, it's something else. She has a habit of rinsing out every glass she drinks out of when she takes it from the cabinet. She's got a lot of nerve to think I'm dirty! I want to slap her in the face most of the time, but I know that would be bad. How do I calmly put an end to this, while at the same time keeping the family peace? - K.R. Dear K.R.: It seems that just about every family has its fa\orite in-law - that is, the one they all love to hate! She even may provide hours of entertainment to the family members. while they gossip about her and provide fodder for the cannon. "Did you hear what she did at Cousin Joe's house? How could David ever have married her?" Etc, etc. The example of her intolerable behavior that you provide probably is just a small sample of the annoying things she has done throughout the years. am I right? In fact, what would your family do without her? Things would tum dull pretty quickly, I'll bet. But since she's poison. it has to be only a matter of time before your brother wakes up and smells the coffee. And if not, the rest of the family must decide if they are going to try to open his eyes for him - in which case he probably will feel he has to defend her - or are you going to have the patience to sit back and keep your own counsel while he figures out that his woman is a dud? Probably the marriage is not destined to endure, unless you are greatly exaggerating this woman's faults and he sees something amazing in her. For now, I suggest that~ou try to engage her as a person instead of a caricature, and try treating her the way you'd like to be treated. She probably is aware that no one likes her. Maybe you can turn that around. (c) 2010 by King Features Syndicate Tuesday, April 13 POMEROY Bedford Township Trustees, 7 p.m. at the town hall. .

Like most ordinarv citizens, I feel there is a need for health care reform." What r am not for is the demagoguery, lying, ann twisting. influence peddling. reward giving, downright crooked way this bill was done. Take for example my congressman Mr. Charlie Wilson. When he gave his reasons for signing on to 'the bill on NPR they went something like this. l. This bill will lower the deficit (Of course he didn't mention the on Iy ~ ay to do that ~·as to raise taxes through the root). 2. thb bill is a pro-life bill. There is absolutely nothing in this bill that is pro-life. · He said this even before ~1r. Obama made his worthless quiet ceremony promise of a presidential order that can be rescinded anytime in another quiet ceremony. I calkd ~lr. Wilson's office and asked one of his per..,onnel to explain to me ho~ this bill was a pro-life bill. The answer 1 received was that he could not.explain it to me and did I have any comments for Congressman Wilson? The third reason he signed it was because they had taken out things like the "cornhusker'' dea], mal<ing this version free of special deals. Evidently Mr. Wilson thinks that we Appalachian people have dumb written on our foreheads and blinders on our eyes so that we couldn't plainly see the goodies being thrown out like candy at a parade.

The findings of the new AP Economy Survey, released Monday. point to an economic recovery that will move slowly and fitfully this year and next. As a result. the Federal Reserve will be forced to keep interest rates near zero until at least the final quarter of this year. threefourths of the economists said. The new AP survey. which will be conducted quarterly, compiles forecasts of leading private. corporate and academic economists on a range of indicators. including employment, home prices and inflation. Among the first survey's key findings: • The unemployment rate will stay stubbornly high the next two years. It will inch down to 9.3 percent by the end of this year and to 8.4 percent by the end of 2011 . The rate has been 9. 7 percent since January. When the recession started in December 2007. unemployment was 5 percent. • Home prices will remain almost flat for the next two years. even after plunging an average 30 percent nationally since their peak in 2006. The economists forecast no rise this year and a 2.3 percent gain next year. • The economy will grow 3 percent this year, which is less than usual during the early phase of a recov~ry and the reason unemployment will stay high. It takes growth of 5 percent for a year to lower the jobless rate by 1 percentage point, economists say. The economy began growing again last summer. 18 months after the recession started. To keep the recovery 0-!1 track, the soonest the Federal Reserve will begin raising short-term interest rates is the fourth quarter, 34 of the 44 economists surveyed told the AP. Those continued low rates will help stimulate home sales. Economists think sales of pre'> iously occupied homes, the biggest chunk of the market. will tick up to 5.4million this year and to 5.9 million in 20 II . That would mark continued improvement from the low of 4.9 million in 2008 and be in line with sales in a healthy economy. But there's a catch. Sales are forecast to rise in part because of another ·anticipated wave of foreclosures. That will keep prices from rising and consumers from spending freely. Surging home equity spuned spending during the housing boom of the last decade. "Our houses are no longer cash machines." says Allen Sinai, chief economist at Decision Economics. who took part in the AP sun C). By keepit'g interest rates at record lows. the Fed intends to encourage people and companies to spend more and invigorate the recovery. But anxiety over unemployment. and a reluctance or inability to botTOW. will also restrain consumer spending. economists say. "We're not !!Oing to see any inationa! exuben~nce ~from consumers this year." says Joel Naron·. president of Naroff Economic Advisors. another survey participant. Like many Americans. Michaela O'Brien of Northampton. Mass .. is tl') ing to cope with personal damage from the worst recession since the 1930s. o·Brien 's husband, Nathaniel Reade. 51. lost his job two years ago as a maga1ine editor. Since then. they've seen the value of their home slip. So the) 're spending less. Gone are the health club memberships. ski pas..,es and camp for their two children. "We mostly cut back on what people would consider frivolous things:· O'Brien says. She gets around in a 2000 Toyota Corolla, her husband in a 13-year old Subaru. "We hope we don't have to buy a car anytime soon." says O'Brien. 49. a self-employed publicist. Still. she says they are fortunate because they're able to pay their mortgage. Economists say it may take until at least the middle of the decade for home values to begin rising normallv again. The bigge~t asset~ for man}· Americans. homes have appreciated an average 4 percent a year since Worltl War II. economists say. National house prices have never • • remained tlat while the economy wa'growing. says Mark Zandi. chief ·economist of Moody's Analytics. which re\ iewed data going back to 1969. Adjusted for inflation. howe'>er. home prices were essentially flat throughout the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. says Zandi. who also took part in the survey. The recession\\ iped out 8.2 million jobs. Zandi and other economists had previously forecast that unemployment. which reached 10.1 percent in October. would peak at I I percent this year Zandi now expecb joblessness to climb agam from the cunenl 9.7 percent and ;-each 10.2 percent b) December. That's because many people who ha,·e quit looking for work and aren't counted a:; unemployed will start looking again and because job creation wilJ~·etnain weak. Employers have begun to add jobs recently. including 162.000 in l\larchl Economists sur\'eved foresee addi tiona! job creation "over the next thre months. but not enough to reduce the unemployment rate~ ..,jgnificantly. They predict job gains of rough!) 200.000 in April. 250.000 in May and 125.000 in June. About 125 .000 ne\\ jobs are needed each month just to keep up with population growth and pre\ cnt the unemployment rate from rising. To reduce the jobles:-.. rate significantly. employers would need to consistently add 200.000 to 300,000 a month.

(AP) - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who won't face criminal charges after a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexually assaulting her inside a nightclub's bathroom, said Monday he knows he'll have to work to regain the trust of teammates and fans. Ocmulgee Circuit Dist!ict Attorney Fred Bright said Monday that after exhaustive interviews and inconclusive medical exams. the student's accusations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Bright also revealed the young accuser no longer wanted him to prosecute. Bright said he continued to investigate the case, but ultimately decided against moving forward partly because he was never able to find out what happened behind the bathroom door at the Capital City club. "Here the overall circumstances do not lead to a viable prosecution. If they did, 1 would be pursuing it vigorously," Bright said. "We do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes." Roethlisberger in his first' public remarks since the accusations on March 5 read a 74second statement Monday at a podium in the Steelers locker room. "The prosecutor's decision not to bring charges, I know without a doubt, is the right conclusion." said Roethlisberger, who was wearing a red sports shirt and light-colored slacks. "I don't intend to discuss any details related to the events of Georgia. I'm happy to put this behind me and move forward:' Roethlisberger also did not discuss his upcoming meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell or any possible punishment that might come from the league or the team for violating the players' conduct code. "I am excited to get back to work with my teammates, and r· m more determined than ever to have a great season," he said.

W.Va. (AP) - Tom Herrion \\'as ready to become a head coach again, even if it meant leaving a successful proe.ram at Pittsburgh. ~ The former Pa~nthcrs associate head coach was introduced as Marshall's new coach Saturday. Hernon was given a fiveyear contract. The financial tenns weren't immediately released. He replaces Donnie Jones, who left last month to become Central Florida's coach. Herrion said he was impressed by Marshall president Stephen J. Kopp's commitment and support for the university's athletes. "It was clear as day that I needed to be here, that we needed to take this opportunity and to elevate our basketball program," Herrion said. "We are here to elevate. I told Dr. Kopp it's not to rebuild, but to continue to restore and build on and elevate the program to greater heights." Herrion, 42. spent three seasons on Jamie Dixon's staff. Pittsburgh won the Big East tournament in 2008 and advanced to the NCAA regional finals in 2009. Before that he went 80-38 in four seasons at the College of Charleston, including a 25-8 record in his first season. He also spent eight years on Pete Gillen's staffs at Providence and Virginia. Herrion's dogged pursuit of the Marshall job left a lasting impression on athletic director Mike Hamrick . "He 'ihowed a passion that he wanted to be here." Hamrick said. "He pursued this job from day one." A 1989 g raduate of MetTimack, Herrion -wasn't Marshall's first choice. Appalachian State's Buu Peterson said he was offered the Marshall job but the two sides couldn't agree on a contract. Marshall went 24-10 this season and played in the 16team Collegelnsider.com Tournament. its first postseason tournament appearance since 1988. "Our fans are starved for success in basketball," Hamrick said. "We're trying to get the Herd nation behind our basketball program. We believe that will happen." Hamrick was the AD at East Carolina when he hired Herrion's brother, Bill. as the basketball coach in 1999. Bill Herrion is now the coach at New Hampshire. . Tom Herrion will continue to take part in a rivalry with West Virginia. Marshall's cross-state rival. On Feb. 3 in Morgantown. Herrion was struck under his right eye by a coin that came from the stands. Marshall and West Virginia meet every January in Charleston. Mercy Dunn each had hits in the inning. Teaford, Tucker, Cummins, Swatm, Ritchie. and Hill each scored in the inning. Southern starting pitcher Cummins struck out two in five innings, allowed three hits, and walked three. Cummins earned the win. while Miller pitcher Abby Toth took the loss. Southern hosts Wahama on Tuesday at 5 p.m. from Page Bl Teaford each scored in the inning. Southern added three more in the third to take a 50 lead. Teaford. Tucker. Cummins. Kyrie Swann, and Katelyn Hill each had a hit in the inning, with Teaford. Cummins, and Swann scoring runs. The Lady Tornadoes added six in the fourth: on seven hits, to take an 11-0 lead. Teaford. Tucker, Cummins. Swann, Chelsi Ritchie. Hill. and Cheyene Charges from Page Bl In Milledgeville, state and local police canvassed the town and began interviewing witnesses. Roethlisberger hired Ed Garland, who has represented a long list of high-profile defendants. The accuser's family also hired lawyers, who eventually sent a letter to Bright saying the woman did not want a trial because it would be "a very intrusive personal expenence.'' One Milledgeville resident was frustrated. "If he wasn't a famous batlplayer. I think charges would have been filed,'' said Dorothy Manning, a 68-yearold retiree who was walking downtown. Bright said Roethlisberger was treated like any other suspect. Garland said the district attorney's decision exonerated the NFL star. Georgia laws set a relatively high bar for proving sexual a~sault, requinng proof that force was used and that the victim did not consent, said J. Tom Morgan. a former DeKalb County district attorney. That can be particularly difficult if both parties were drinking alcohol, he said. As Pittsburgh's first-round draft pick out of Miami of Ohio m 2004. Roethlisberger Jed the Stee1ers to Super Bowl victories in 2006 and 2009. He frequently has donated time ~md money to charities. But off-field problems have come along with his championships and $102 million contract. In 2006, he defied his coach's orders and rode his motorcycle without a helmet - and wound up with a concussion, broken jaw and other injuries after a wreck. And while Roethlisbergcr has a reputation for patiently signing autographs and posing for pictures out in public. he also is known for occasionally inelegant behavior in Pittsburgh.

"''m truly sony for the disappointment and negative attention I brought to my famiJy. my teammates, coaches. the Rooneys and the NFL." Roethlisberger said. ·'I understand that the opportunities I have been blessed with are a privilege. and much is expected of me as the quarterback of the Pittsburgh, Steelers. I absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community and a role model to kids. I have much work to do to earn this trust.'' Team president Art Rooney 11. known to be frustrated and exasperated with Roethlisberger's lack of maturity and judgment. agreed that the quarterback must win back the respect and trust of his teammates and his city. "During the past few weeks, I have met with Ben on a number of occasions. not only to discuss this incident, but also to discuss his commitment to making sure this never happens again." Rooney said in a statement. In Pittsburgh, the reaction among fans was mixed. Some said they feared it was only a matter of time before Roethlisberger was in trouble again. " I've seen him around a couple ttmes and he's always got the entourage, and the aura around him and it's • said Kevin annoying," Brown, a 27-year-old who watched the press conference at an upscale restaurant a stone's throw from Heinz Field. "I've seen the way he's acted." Jim Gallagher. 54 , of Butler, north of Pittsburgh. is a Steelers fan and was critical of the franch ise yuarterback. 'Tm disappomted in his actions. Whether he did anythin~ that wac; against the law. never know." you II Gallagher said. ''I think he needs to realize he's representing the city and the Rooney family and letting everybody down by his actions. Morally. I think he's wrong." · Ga.

Mickelson finally had to let go, and with a single tear trickling down his cheek. headed for the scoring hut to sign his card for a S-under 67. the official . stamp on a most compclllllg,Masters. "ln the last year. we've been through a lot and it's been tough. And to be on the other end and feel this kind of jubilation is incredible," said Mickelson. who tightly grasped his wife's hand until he headed off for an interview. This Masters deserved nothing less thari a storybook ending. It began with Tiger Woods returning from a sex scandal, which shattered his image but left his game intact. He captivated crowds by flitting with contention until the putts stopped falling and he tied for fourth. It ended with Mickelson making daring escapes from the trees. delivering a clutch birdie in the heart of Amen Corner, and pulling off a high-risk shot out of the pine straw. He knocked in an 8-foot birdie putt for a three-shot margin over Lee Westwood, who lost the lead for good with a. three-putt bogey on the ninth hole and never got closer than two shots over the final six holes.

''Twenty years from now. nothing will compare to this," Mackay !'laid. Westwood was third at the British Open last summer. tied for third at the PGA Championship, and dealt with another close call at the Masters with his highest finish ever in a major. He remains among the best players without one. '"Phil, being the champion he is. hit some great shots coming down the stretch,'' said Westwood. who closed with a 71 . " He's been through hard times recently, and he deserves a break or two.'' Anthony Kim closed with a 65, the best score of the tournament, and finished alone in third. Mickelson became the eighth player with at least three Masters titles. and it was the fourth major of his career. breaking out of a pack that had included Ernie Els. Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh from his generation. The signature moment came on the 13th. a hole Mickelson has domirtated lik.e no other at Augusta.

The end came on the 14th. when he missed a 6foot birdie putt to stay in the game, then missed the next one for a shocking three-putt bogey. ~ Asked to sum up his week. Woods said in a terse inferview with CBS Sports analyst Peter Kostis, .. I finished fourth." •·Jfs not what I wanted." he said. '"1 wanted to win this tol'lrnament. As the week went on. I kept hitting the ball worse." Asked about his dour mood as his oame oat away from him. ~Woods said, "People are making way too much of a deal on this ." He also said he did not know when he would return. saying he needed time off to evaluate. For Mickelson, it's a cekbration to remember.

If approved, this amendment would take effect immediately. Official Issue 1 Argument in Favor Argument Against Issue 1 VOTE FOR JOBS! VOTE YES ON ISSUE 1 A YES VOTE on ISSUE I will extend Ohio's highly successful Third Frontier program. Issue I promotes economic growth and job development by supporting Ohio entrepreneurs. and research and development proJeCts that boost the competitiveness of Ohio businesses, small and large. The Issue I renewal of the Third Frontier means continued investment in technology and innovation that has already created 48.000 new jobs and hundreds of new and expanded companies. Approval oflssue I will prO\ ide research and development leading to new jobs: - That save lives through advances in medicine, • - Promote independence from forc1gn oil through green and advanced energy projects, - Develop better and more innovative products for consumers through advanced materials design. and - Support Ohio's farmers and food companies. ISSUE I WILL NOT INCREASE TAXES. Rather. by expanding Ohio's job base, it \\ill generate ne\\ revenues for state and local governments which will more than compensate for any debt incurred. The investment in technology and innovation made possible by the Third Frontier has kept its promise to Ohio taxpayers. It has earned renewal so it can continue to provide technology advances and jobs, helping Ohio working men and women and strengthening Oh10 businesses, small and large. 1 ' . Independent evaluations of the Third Frontier confirm that the program works and has proven itself. Especially in these troubled times, we need proven. accountable jobs programs that produce results and produce the jobs that Ohioans need and want. B) an overwhelming majority, Democrats and Republicans in the Ohio Legislature supported approval of Issue 1. Business, labor. academic and health care organizations, agriculture. nonprofit and local government leaders in Ohio arc united in support of Issue I. Join them! Vote YES to create Jobs in Ohio. Vote YES on Issue I. Submitted by: Representatives Sandra Williams, Jay Goyal, and Ron Amstutz, and Senators Kirk Schuring, David Goodman, and Dale Miller Vote No on Issue 1 Issue I means more spending and more debt by Ohio's state government. The current Third Frontier Program is authorized to issue $500 million in bonds over 10 years. Issue 1 would allo\V for an additional $700 million in state bonds (state debt) to be issued over four years in addition to what is left under the current program. This debt will need to be repaid from future state budgets costing already strapped state budgets millions of dollars each year. That is money Ohio doesn't have and can't afford. Some debt is good. Most of us have to borrow to buy m~jor items such as a house or car Governments borrO\\. too, for schools, roads and other major Improvements Too much debt is bad The State of Ohio has a debt limitation in its constitution to prevent too much debt by our state government. Ho,vever. the bonds that \vould be 1ssued under Issue l are not subject to th1s constitutional limitation. The current Third Frontier 10-year program doesn't end until 2012. Some say we need more mone) now to convince private investors to keep investing in these state funded projects and to attract federal government funding. The Third Frontier Program allow.s the State of Ohio to pick winners and losers from the private sector to receive state dollars. While many worthwhile programs may receive funding from this issue, private investments and not public dollars are better situated for such efforts. The Ohio Third Frontier doesn't provide quick relief for our current economic conditions and can wrut for now.
