Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reports that deputies from his office arrested Timothy Wickersham, 33, of Racine, at a residence on Peach Fork Road on Tuesday afternoon. Wickersham was wanted on outstanding warrants in addition to the meth lab case last week. Also at the residence on Peach Fork, Lori Thompson, 32, of Pomeroy, was arrested on a probation violation. After searching the residence, deputies located materials for the manufacture of methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia. Last Thursday night deputies and an official with the Depart- ment of Job and Family Services responded to a child safety check at a residence on Fifth Street in Racine. Concerns from the information received involved young children allegedly being exposed to illegal drugs and needles lying about the residence. During the examination, officers discovered drug paraphernalia within the home that led to probable cause to obtain a search warrant. After executing the search warrant, deputies located paraphernalia used for the sale and use of narcotics, chemicals used for the manufacturing of methamphetamine and three reactionary vessels used for the manufacturing of methamphetamine at the property. Stacy Holter, 37, of Racine was arrested at the time, with deputies looking for Wickersham since.

There were approximately 45 employees who participated in the health fair, and many brought along their families to participate as well. The wellness fair was planned by the Meigs Wellness Committee and was aimed at engaging employees and their families in healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices. The wellness fair also provided education on health services and health issues present in and around Meigs County. O’Bleness Hospital, Holzer and the Meigs Nursing Class provided free health screenings for employees and their families. Health screenings included (glucose, cholesterol, pulmonary function, bone density, body fat, pulse ox, A1C diabetes test, blood pressure, height and weight). There were also local See FAIR ‌| 5 Unveiling of Delay’s sculpture set for Sunday Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — The unveiling of the bronze sculpture created by artist Bob Delay and placed in the lobby of Middleport Village Hall will be unveiled in a public ceremony to be held at 2 p.m. Sunday. The life-size sculpture of a mother reading to her young child created by Delay, a noted sculptor, conveys the importance of education. The Middleport High School Alumni Association commissioned the sculpture to be given as a tribute to the teachers who taught at the Middleport Elementary School, since converted into Village Hall. Funds for casting the sculpture, donated by Delay, were gifts of alumni and friends. Bob Delay was born in Middleport in 1938 and graduated from Middleport High School in 1957. He studied art and design at the Columbus College of Art and Design, and later took advanced classes at The Art Students League of New York, Georgetown University and Valasco Studios in Paltra Santa, Italy. He has been involved in art throughout his life as an illustrator, designer, painter and sculptor, and at one time at the Columbus Dispatch managed a team of 45 artists, designers, photographers, and electronic pre-press personnel. His main love has always been for sculpting, and he has completed over 125 major commissions in the United States, six of which are in Washington D.C. The works were for churches, schools, libraries, and government buildings as well as for some private individuals. “The statue by native son Bob Delay is a wonderful adSarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel dition to our village,” said Mayor Michael Gerlach, “and Students with the Meigs Nursing Program were on hand to check we want to thank him and all the volunteers and donors blood pressure, temperature and other screenings.

Local School District hosts wellness fair Staff Report MIDDLEPORT — A grant of $14,700 has been awarded to the Middleport Fire Department through the Ohio Fire Marshall’s office. According to Mayor Michael Gerlach the grant is awarded to volunteer fire departments that serve a population of less than 25,000. He congratulated Fire Chief Jeff Darst for securing the grant which is the third in the past four years granted to the Middleport Fire Depart- ment by that agency. In 2010 the department received a grant of $8,000, and in 2011, a grant of $10,000. “The grants are 100 percent funded,” said Gerlach, “and that means they do not require a match nor come at a cost to our citizens.” It was reported that the new money will be used to purchase protective clothing allowing the Department to replace six sets of turnout coats and pants and six pair of boots. “All of that helps keep our volunteers safe,” said Gerlach. �Thursday, April 18, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Community Calendar Meigs County Local Briefs Thursday, April 18 POMEROY — The Meigs County Retired Teachers Association, noon at Trinity Congregational Church meeting room.

Soaring hymns, Biblical verse and fond remembrances echoed under the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, as 2,300 relatives, friends, colleagues and dignitaries attended a ceremonial funeral for Britain’s only female prime minister. Queen Elizabeth II, current and former prime ministers and representatives from 170 countries were among the mourners packing the cathedral, where Bishop of London Richard Chartres spoke of the strong feelings Thatcher still evokes 23 years after leaving office. “The storm of conflicting opinions centers on the Mrs. Thatcher who became a symbolic figure — even an -ism,” he said. “It must be very difficult for those members of her family and those closely associated with her to recognize the wife, the mother and the grandmother in the mythological figure.” “There is an important place for debating policies and legacy … but here and today is neither the time nor the place,” he added. Security for the funeral — the largest in London for more than a decade — was tightened after bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday. More than 700 soldiers, sailors and air force personnel formed a ceremonial guard along the route taken by Thatcher’s coffin to the cathedral, and around 4,000 police officers were on duty. But while thousands of supporters and a smaller number of opponents traded shouts and arguments, there was no serious trouble. Police said there were no arrests, and the only items thrown at the cortege were flowers. Before the service, Thatcher’s coffin was driven from the Houses of Parliament to the church of St. Clement Danes, about half a mile (0.8 kilometers) from the cathedral, for prayers. From there the coffin — draped in a Union flag and topped with white roses and a note from her children Mark and Carol reading “Beloved mother, always in our hearts” — was borne to the cathedral on a gun carriage drawn by six black horses. Spectators lining the route broke into applause as the carriage passed by, escorted by young soldiers, sailors and airmen. A few demonstrators staged silent protests by turning their backs on Thatcher’s coffin, and one man held a banner declaring “rest in shame.” An honor guard of soldiers in scarlet tunics and bearskin hats saluted the coffin as it approached St. Paul’s, while red-coated veterans known as Chelsea Pensioners stood to attention on the steps. Guests inside the cathedral included Thatcher’s political colleagues, rivals and her successors as prime minister: John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former Vice President Dick Cheney were among the American dignitaries, while notable figures from Thatcher’s era included F.W. de Klerk, the last apartheid-era leader of South Africa; former Polish President Lech Walesa; ex-Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney; and entertainers such as “Dynasty” star Joan Collins, singer Shirley Bassey and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Thatcher’s tenure coincided with — and influenced — the fall of the Berlin Wall and the “Reagan revolu- tion” in the United States. Former U.S. first lady Nancy Reagan and onetime Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, both invitees with close ties to Thatcher’s leadership, were kept away from the funeral by age. Argentine Ambassador Alicia Castro declined an invitation amid continuing acrimony over the 1982 Falklands War. The ceremony was traditional, dignified and very British. Mourners entered to music by British composers, including Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the service featured hymns and readings chosen by Thatcher, who grew up as a grocer’s daughter in a hard-working Methodist household. There was a passage from T.S. Eliot, a section of Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem” and the patriotic hymn “I Vow to Thee, My Country.” The late leader’s 19-year-old granddaughter Amanda Thatcher read a passage from Ephesians: “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.” It was a classic Thatcher image, capturing what people loved and loathed about a leader full of strength and certainty. Afterward, the crowd gathered outside cheered and applauded as Thatcher’s coffin was carried out to the half-muffled peal of the cathedral bells. The former prime minister will be cremated, in keeping with her wishes. The woman nicknamed the Iron Lady brought major change to Britain during her 11-year tenure from 1979 to 1990, privatizing state industries, deregulating the economy, and causing upheaval whose impact is still felt. She died April 8 at age 87. Thatcher was given a ceremonial funeral with military honors — not officially a state funeral, which requires a vote in Parliament — but proceedings that featured the same level of pomp and honor afforded Princess Diana in 1997, and Queen Mother Elizabeth in 2002. That raised the ire of some Britons who believe her legacy is a socially and economically unequal nation. “She divided the country,” said Glynn Jones, a taxi driver from Liverpool, a city devastated in Thatcher’s time by industrial decline. He said he had come to smoke a cigar, watch the procession go by and “double-check that she is dead and it is not a con.” Protests were held in northern England mining towns devastated by the closure of Britain’s coal pits after a bitter strike while Thatcher was prime minister. In the town of Goldthorpe, an effigy of the late prime minister was strung up outside the Union Jack social club, and a replica coffin — adorned with a floral wreath spelling “scab,” or strikebreaker — was burned on a pyre. “I’m not a bitter man. I don’t hate people. But I have no feelings for her,” said former miner Tony Hiles. “I couldn’t care less that she’s died.” In Irish Catholic parts of Belfast, dozens of supporters of the Irish Republican Army mounted protests in the middle of several roads. They waved black flags and placards criticizing her refusal to grant IRA convicts prisoner-of-war status demands in 1981, when 10 inmates starved themselves to death. But in London, hundreds of people packed the area around the cathedral to say goodbye to a leader they admired. “I came to commemorate the greatest hero of our modern age,” said 25-year-old Anthony Boutall, clutching a blue rose. “She took a nation on its knees and breathed new life into it.” Cincinnati needs more funds for streetcar project CINCINNATI (AP) — Extra funding will be needed for a multi-million-dollar Cincinnati streetcar project that could cost even more if construction doesn’t start soon, a city official said. Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dohoney told city council members in a memo updating them on the project that “it is clear the project will need more funding.” Dohoney wrote in the memo that the budget gap for the project was more than $22 million after construction bids received in February were higher than expected. Some re-engineering will trim $5.3 million from that budget gap and the city is working with federal authorities to identify more funding options, Dohoney said in Tuesday’s memo. The city manager has not yet requested additional funding for the project and is continuing to explore options, Dohoney spokeswoman Meg Olberding said Wednesday. But Dohoney warned in his memo that if construction doesn’t start soon, the project might have to be re-bid. Professionals involved in the review process agree that re-bidding will “delay the project’s timetable and ultimately will add costs,” Dohoney wrote. He also said that the city’s grant agreements with the Federal Transportation Administration include some schedule milestones that Cincinnati must meet on the project. The longer the city waits to begin construction, the higher the risk of missing those milestones and possibly violating federal grant agreements, he wrote. Violations could give the FTA a reason to withdraw the funds committed to the project, Dohoney said.

Myers recommends following these steps to improve lawns this season. Start this spring to renovate or improve your weather-worn lawn. Remember that water is critical to get newly seeded and sodded lawns to survive. So be prepared to help nature along with the recovery effort. Evaluate the damage. Then use the check list below to find the best course of action to aid the ailing lawn. If the lawn is more than 60 percent weeds or bare soil, it’s probably time to start over. Use this opportunity to create a great foundation for growing a healthy lawn. Kill off the existing vegetation, add several inches of organic matter such as compost or peat moss and a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil, and rake smooth. Select more drought tolerant grasses like rhizomatous (turf-type) tall fescues, buffalo grass and Habiturf native lawn mix. Make sure the grass is suited to the climate and plant according to the label. Then sow the seeds, lightly rake and mulch or lay sod. Water often enough to keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout or the sod roots into the soil below. Then water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil are crumbly, but slightly moist to encourage deep roots. Fertilize new, existing and stressed lawns with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer like Milorganite. Start this spring to renovate or improve your weather-worn lawn. Remember that water is critical to get newly seeded and sodded lawns to survive. So be prepared to help nature along with the recovery effort. It won’t harm stressed lawns, young seedlings or newly laid sod. It will encourage slow steady growth. Southern lawns can be fertilized in April and again in early June. In the north fertilize around Memorial Day. And if 2013 turns into another hot dry summer, it won’t burn the lawn. Mow high to encourage deeply rooted grass that is more drought tolerant and pest resistant. And mow often, removing only a third of the total height. Be sure to leave these short clippings on the lawn. They return moisture, nutrients, and organic matter to the soil. Repair small dead and bare patches as needed. Use a lawn patch kit, grass seed and mulch. For small spots, loosen the soil surface, sprinkle grass seed and lightly rake. Or mix a handful of grass seed in a bucket of topsoil. Sprinkle the mix over the soil surface. Do a bit more soil preparation when renovating larger dead areas in the lawn. Remove or kill any weeds that have filled in these areas. Till two inches of compost, peat moss or other organic matter into the top six inches of soil. Sow seed, rake and mulch or lay sod. Overseed thin and sparse lawn. First, core aerate the lawn to improve soil conditions and increase seed-tosoil contact. Spread grass seed over the aerated lawn and water as needed.

These machines slice through the soil and drop the grass seed in place, increasing the seed-to-soil contact which is needed for good germination. Core aerate lawns that have more than one half an inch of thatch, those growing in compacted soils, or before overseeding. By removing plugs of soil you break through the thatch and create channels for water and fertilizer to reach the grass roots. Spot treat weeds on lawns that need minimal repair. Wait at least until fall to treat new and overseeded lawns. Spot treating minimizes the use of chemicals and reduces the stress on already stressed lawns. As always read and follow label directions carefully. Proper maintenance and a bit of cooperation from nature will help transform a lawn from an eyesore to an asset in the landscape.

Lynn Fitz-Hugh “I will give one for defense, but I’m cutting the whole offense budget,” the man said as he dropped one penny into the jar marked “Military” in our Tax Day Penny Poll. Then he dropped various amounts of his 10 pennies into various jars with labels such as Health and Human Services, Education, Foreign Humanitarian Aid, and Environmental Protection. We’ve been conducting these polls for years across the US. A group of us stood outside a post office in Seattle on April 15th. Each “voter” was given 10 pennies to vote how s/he would like federal tax dollars to be spent. When they were finished voting I would unroll 40-inch long, one-inch high piece of paper which revealed the actual way we spend our tax dollars. It would show: 60 percent goes to the military. It showed 16 other categories (one of which is everything that gets less than one percent of the budget). The next closest to the military is Health and Human Services which received five percent last year as did Education— the winner of my penny poll. We had a group at five Seattle post offices. At all five sites Education won and the military came in last. Most penny poll voters were shocked to learn that Homeland Security receives four percent, which is more than any of the following: HUD, Agriculture, Justice, NASA, Energy, Labor, Treasury, Interior, EPA and Transportation. I wonder if our representatives realize how far the budget strays from the actual wishes of the voters? I am angry on tax day. I am angry because I know that last year GE, BofA, Chevron and Goldman Sachs all paid no federal tax money- through loopholes, subsidies and offshoring. I am angry that if the major corporations paid the full amounts they should pay we would not have a federal deficit. Yet I watch streams of hardworking citizens drive up to drop off their tax returns, many with much larger checks to the IRS than entire profitable corporations pay. I am angry that politicians are influenced by paid lobbyists instead of voters in forming our budget. I am angry because in the military budget is the F-35 costing $1.5 trillion, according to the General Accounting Office, which the administration has tried to cancel and yet still Congress rolls forward with it, adding to the 60 percent. I am angry because the US military budget is four times greater than our nearest ‘competitor,’ China, and as large 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.

I am angry because I know that last year GE, BofA, Chevron and Goldman Sachs all paid no federal tax money- through loopholes, subsidies and offshoring. I am angry that if the major corporations paid the full amounts they should pay we would not have a federal deficit. as the next 17 countries’ combined military budgets! This is waste, folly and sin. While we cut all useful human services in the richest country in the world – we spend it in ways that cannot serve life. In our poll at five locations 306 people voted between five categories: 35 percent went to Education, 26 percent went to Health Care, 23 percent went to the Environment, 13 percent went to Humanitarian aid, and five percent went to the military. I can only dream about living in such a country. Interestingly, five percent for the military would reduce it to a defense/no offense budget. It would bring it down to a budget comparable to other countries. We would have many more friends and many fewer terrorists. One thing that amazed me was how hard it was for many of my fellow citizens to get the idea that they were the one to decide, that there was no way they were “supposed to” do it, no guidance. What is wrong in a democracy when we have not thought about how our government should do things? The other side of this coin was the most frequent reason given by those who declined to participate, “What difference does it make?” I suppose they mean that a penny poll will not change the actual budget or even influence our politicians. I agree. My reason for doing it is actually to influence voters: to care, to be mad about the ways their views aren’t reflected in the budget, to speak up, to make a fuss, and to make it change.

After the screenings, employees were provided with a computer to complete an online health assessment where they could discover their health “scores” and what they could do to make behavioral changes to enhance their wellbeing. The Meigs Wellness Committee’s purpose in planning the event was to offer the opportunity to all employees to celebrate health through the use of interactive displays, screenings, prizes, and other exhibits. “The committee was very pleased with the event,” according to Jillian Brannon one of the event organizers, “and are hopeful that next year’s wellness fair will have the same success and even more participation. We look forward to continuing to provide opportunities for employees and students to gain awareness about pressing health issues and what they can do to develop a lifetime of healthy lifestyle behaviors.” WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan effort to expand background checks faced almost certain defeat Wednesday as the Senate approached a long-awaited vote on the linchpin of the drive to curb gun violence. As the showdown drew near, an Associated PressGfK poll showed ebbing public support for tightening gun control laws. With the roll call just hours away, three more senators — Republican Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Democrats Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Mark Pryor of Arkansas — said they opposed the background check measure. Their announcements, along with opposition from other Republicans and moderate Democrats, left supporters heading toward defeat unless they could turn votes around in the final hours, a near impossible task. Rejection of the proposal would be a jarring setback for gun control advocates, who hoped the Dec. 14 shooting rampage that killed 20 children and six adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school would sway Congress to enact new firearms restrictions. Defeating the background check plan also would give a victory to the National Rifle Association, which has fought the idea as a misguided crackdown on gun rights that criminals would ignore anyway. “As of this morning, we’re short. We need more votes. It’s close,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a sponsor of the background check compromise, said in a brief interview. Asked how he could get the needed votes with so many opponents, he said, “We’re just hoping the good Lord will enter their heart and maybe change a few.” The White House said it wasn’t giving up hope. Presidential spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was working on building support. Perhaps helping explain Democrats’ problems, an AP-GfK poll this month showed that 49 percent of those surveyed support stricter gun laws. That was down from 58 percent in January. By comparison, 52 percent expressed disapproval in the new survey of how Obama has handled gun laws. Weeks after the Newtown slayings, Obama made near-universal background checks the heart of his gun control plan. “Every once and awhile we are confronted with an issue that should transcend politics,” Obama said in an interview that aired Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show. “And now’s the time for us to take some measure of action that’s going to prevent some of these tragedies from happening again.” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said gun control was a legitimate issue to debate but didn’t think victims and their families should be used “like props” to politicize a tragedy. Relatives of victims of Newtown and other mass shootings have lobbied lawmakers to restrict guns, and several planned to be in the visitors’ gallery during Wednesday’s vote. Many have appeared at news conferences, including at the White House. “I think that, in some cases, the president has used them as props and that disappoints me,” Paul said at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. Carney responded that the Newtown families were in Washington “because their children were murdered. They’re here asking the Senate to do something that’s common sense.” The Senate planned eight other votes in addition to one on background checks. Each is an amendment to a broad gun control measure. They included Democratic proposals to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines; the two were expected to lose. There also was a Republican proposal requiring states to honor other states’ permits allowing concealed weapons; that was facing a close vote. As the day’s debate began, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., set the tone for the GOP, whose members have largely opposed many of the Democratic proposals. “The government shouldn’t punish or harass law-abiding citizens in the exercise of their Second Amendment rights,” he said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who has backed some gun rights efforts in the past, said he would back the assault weapons ban. He rejected some opponents’ claims that confiscating weapons would leave them vulnerable to an out-ofcontrol government. “I’ll vote for the ban because maintaining law and order is more important than satisfying conspiracy theorists who believe in black helicopters,” he said. The concealed weapons amendment, seen by advocates as protecting gun rights, was vehemently opposed by gun control groups, which say it would allow more guns into states with stricter firearms laws. Background checks, aimed at screening out criminals and the seriously mentally ill from getting firearms, now apply only to purchases handled by licensed firearms dealers. The amendment by Manchin and Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., would extend the checks to firearms sales at gun shows and online. The compromise was widely seen as advocates’ best chance for winning enough GOP votes to muscle broadened checks through the Senate. Opponents will need just 41 of the Senate’s 100 votes to derail the Manchin-Toomey background check plan. Thirty-one senators voted last week to completely block debate on overall gun legislation. Just two were Democrats — Pryor and Mark Begich of Alaska. If all 31 oppose the Manchin-Toomey measure, and that was not certain, opponents would need just 10 more votes to prevail. So far, 12 of 16 Republicans who voted last week to let debate on the gun bill begin have said they would oppose Manchin-Toomey. That would give foes of expanded background checks 42 potential votes, or one more than they need to win. Still uncertain was support from some Democrats from GOP-heavy states, including Max Baucus of Montana and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Both face re-election next year. The Senate gun bill would extend background checks to nearly all gun purchases, toughen penalties against illegal gun trafficking and add small sums to school safety programs. The AP-GfK poll found that overall, 49 percent said gun laws should be made stricter while 38 percent said they should stay the same. The poll was conducted from April 11-15 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,004 randomly chosen adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points. Supreme Court limits suits over foreign abuses WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday drastically limited the ability of foreign victims of human rights abuses to use American courts to seek accountability and monetary damages for their suffering. The decision was a major victory for corporations that have been sued in the United States over their alleged role in foreign atrocities. The court undercut a more than 30-yearold strategy by human rights lawyers to use civil lawsuits to pursue individuals who may be responsible for torture and other atrocities, as well as companies with operations in countries with poor records in the area of human rights. The justices unanimously agreed to shut down a lawsuit filed by Nigerians against Royal Dutch Petroleum, or Shell Oil, over claims that the company was complicit in murder and other abuses committed by the Nigerian government against its citizens in the oil-rich Niger Delta in the 1990s. The suit is one of several pending claims against U.S. and international companies that invoke the 1789 Alien Tort Statute. Human rights lawyers have used the law to sue individuals who allegedly took part in abuses and, more recently, companies that do business in the United States as well as places where abuses occur. Robert Loeb, a former Justice Department official and an expert on the issue, called the decision “a death knell for those cases” because it focuses on where the conduct took place. Some human rights lawyers said the ruling may be limited to international businesses like Shell and they promised to push ahead with suits that target U.S. companies. “There are going to be categories of cases that have sufficient U.S. connections that they can be brought under the statute even if the human rights violations take place outside the U.S.,” said Paul Hoffman, the lawyer who represented the Nigeri- ans at the Supreme Court. While all the justices agreed that the Nigerians’ claims could not go forward, the court split sharply on the issue of whether the 224-year-old law generally could be used to sue over claimed human rights abuses in another country. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for five justices, said that it could not. Roberts said the law does not allow claims “seeking relief for violations of the law of nations occurring outside the United States.” Justice Stephen Breyer, in a separate opinion for four justices, agreed that the Nigerians’ claims must not be accepted, but said he would leave the courthouse door open to lawsuits where alleged abuse “adversely affects an important American national interest.” Breyer said that category “includes a distinct interest in preventing the United States from becoming a safe harbor … for a torturer or other common enemy of mankind.” Energy and mining companies have been among the most frequent targets of these lawsuits in recent years following efforts by the military in Indonesia, Nigeria and elsewhere to clamp down on protests against oil and gas exploration and development. Other cases pending in U.S. courts seek to hold accountable Chiquita Brands International for its relationship with paramilitary groups in Colombia; Exxon and Chevron for abuses in Indonesia and Nigeria, respectively; Britain-based mining concern Rio Tinto for allegedly aiding the Papua New Guinea government in a civil war; and several companies for their role in the old racial apartheid system in South Africa. The Alien Tort Statute, adopted in part to deal with piracy claims, went unused for most of American history until rights lawyers dusted it off beginning in the late 1970s. The Supreme Court cautiously endorsed the use of the law in 2004, but left unan- swered precisely who could be held liable and in what circumstances. After Wednesday’s decision, legal experts said the full scope of the ruling may not be entirely clear. But “the decision’s most likely effect is to chill significantly the use of U.S. federal courts to remedy human rights violations that occur abroad,” said Jonathan Hafetz, an international human rights expert who teaches law at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. Among the kinds of cases that still might be considered under the Alien Tort Statute are those that include U.S. contractors who are accused of taking part in atrocities abroad, said Eugene Kontorovich, a professor at Northwestern University Law School in Chicago. Congress passed a separate law in 1992, the Torture Victims Protection Act, that says an individual who acts on behalf of a foreign nation can be held liable in a civil lawsuit for torturing or killing people. That law is unaffected by Wednesday’s ruling. Despite the unanimous judgment, the case produced four separate opinions. Roberts wrote for himself and fellow conservatives Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Kennedy wrote a brief opinion suggesting that the ruling leaves “open a number of significant questions regarding the reach and interpretation of the law.” Alito, joined by Thomas, said he would have preferred an even broader opinion than Roberts. Breyer’s three liberal colleagues, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined his opinion. The justices first heard the case in February 2012 to consider whether businesses could be sued under the law. But the court asked for additional arguments about whether the law could be applied to any conduct that takes place abroad. A second argument took place in October. The case is Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, 10-1491. on April 16, along with harboring a runaway juvenile. He was also wanted for questioning in a Gallia County case. He was arrested without incident. The juvenile was located in Point Pleasant, W.Va., by Point Pleasant Police.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Gustin Graham surrendered just three hits over six innings of work, and Gallia Academy made a late offensive push to remain unbeaten Tuesday night following a 10-0 non-conference victory over visiting Fairland at Bob Eastman Field in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (12-0) found themselves in scoreless tie through three innings of play, but the hosts erupted for two runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth to claim a 5-0 advantage through five complete. GAHS followed with a five- run outburst in the bottom half of the sixth, allowing the hosts to wrap up the mercy-rule triumph. Graham — who walked three in decision — struck out 12 and surrendered hits to Aliff, Raines and Ross, all of which came after the third inning. Gallia Academy also outhit the Dragons by an 8-3 overall margin and both teams stranded five runners on the bags. The Blue Devils left the bases loaded in the first and didn’t have another batter reach safely until the fourth, when Jimmy Clagg delivered a one-out double and was pinch-ran for by Alex Greer. Justin Bailey singled and moved Greer to third, then Cody Russell came through with a sacrifice fly to center — allowing Greer to score for a 1-0 lead. Bailey later scored on a passed ball for a 2-0 cushion through four complete. Bobby Dunlap led off the fifth with a double and scored one batter later when Ty Warnimont singled, making it a 3-0 contest. Gage Childers lifted a sac fly to left that allowed Warnimont to score. John Faro blasted a solo home run with two outs in the inning for a 5-0 cushion after five complete. GAHS managed five runs on two hits and four walks in the sixth, with Jimmy Clagg delivering a two-out, three-RBI bases-clearing double that turned a 7-0 lead into a walkoff triumph. Warnimont and Clagg each had two hits for Gallia Academy, followed by Bailey, Faro, Dunlap and Eric Ward with a safety apiece. Clagg drove in a team-best three RBIs and both Faro and Dunlap scored twice in the win. Taylor took the loss for FHS after surrendering five runs (four earned), six hits and three walks over five frames while striking out three. Murphy allowed five earned runs, two hits and four walks while fanning one in two-thirds of an inning of relief. To be continued … Marauders outlast Wahama in five innings Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — The Meigs baseball team won its third straight decision while moving over the .500 mark Tuesday night during a lightning-shortened 5-4 victory over host Wahama in a non-conference matchup at Bachtel Stadium in Mason County. The Marauders (8-7) snapped a two-game losing skid against TVC Hocking opponents, as the guests belted out a 10-3 advantage in hits while earning the error-free triumph. The White Falcons (7-5) — who committed three errors — never led in the five-inning affair. Meigs plated two runs apiece in the first and second innings to claim an early 4-0 edge, but WHS countered with three runs in the bottom of the second to pull within 4-3. Both teams added a run in the third for a 5-4 contest, then neither squad managed to score in either the fourth or fifth frames. MHS started the top of the sixth with an out and a single, but the game was postponed at that point after a flash of lightning was spotted in the outfield area. After roughly 40 minutes of waiting — a 30-minute delay is the official minimum by rule — the game was called after five innings, giving the Marauders the one-run decision. Treay McKinney started the scoring after coming homeward on a two-out single by Ty Phelps, and an error on the same play also allowed Bradley Helton to score for an early 2-0 edge. Derik Hill and Cameron Mattox followed with back-toback singles to start the fourth, then Helton scored on an error and Mattox crossed home plate on a sacrifice fly by Taylor Rowe — making it a 4-0 contest. Wahama countered with three runs on four walks and a timely hit by Tyler Grimm, who delivered a double that plated pinch-runner Jared Nutter for a 4-1 deficit. Pinchrunner Jacob Bennett and Grimm later scored on basesloaded walks, allowing the hosts to pull to within 4-3 after three complete. Phelps singled to start the fourth and scored one batter later after an RBI double by Matt Casci gave Meigs a 5-3 edge. Wesley Harrison led off the bottom half of the frame with a single, then later scored on a two-out triple by Dakota Sisk that ended up rounding out the scoring. Phelps was the winning pitcher of record, allowing four earned runs, three hits and seven walks over five frames while fanning eight. Garrett Miller took the tough-luck loss after surrendering two earned runs, 10 hits and three walks over five innings while striking out one. Phelps, Casci, Rowe and Mattox each had two hits for the victors, followed by safety apiece from McKinney and Hill. Phelps and Casci each had an RBI. Harrison, Grimm and Sisk produced the lone hits for Wahama. Grimm, Sisk, Austin Cole and Kane Roush had an RBI apiece in the setback. It was the first loss for the White Falcons in three games against TVC Ohio squads, while Meigs improved to 2-4 against TVC Hocking programs. Wahama also had its four-game winning streak come to an end. The River Valley at Southern baseball and softball games have both been suspended in the bottom of the seventh inning due to lightning. The River Valley baseball team leads Southern 3-2 in with the Tornadoes at bat in the seventh inning. Danny Ramthun is at the plate for SHS facing the Raiders Timmy Kemper with the bases loaded and no outs. The River Valley softball team leads Southern 11-6 with the Lady Tornadoes coming to the plate in the bottom of the seventh.

Senior Kaci Riffle broke a sevenall tie with a two-out double in the seventh, allowing the Point Pleasant softball team to win its fifth straight home game with a 9-7 victory over visiting Parkersburg South in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Knights (13-7) trailed 5-1 after four innings of play, but the hosts rallied with a six-run explosion in the fifth to secure a 7-5 edge. The Lady Patriots (0-8) countered with two runs in the top of the seventh, making it a seven-all contest headed into the home half of the finale. PPHS had its first two batters re- tired, but Karissa Cochran reached on an error to start the late rally. Megan Davis followed with a single to put runners on the corners, then Riffle delivered a two-RBI double that plated both Cochran and Davis for the walk-off triumph. The Lady Knights outhit the guests by a 12-5 overall margin, but they also committed six errors in comparison to three by PSHS. Parkersburg South stranded nine runners on base, while Point left only three on the bags. Davis led the Lady Knights with three hits, followed by Riffle, Cochran and Makinley Higginbotham with two safeties apiece. Madison Barker, Josie Fisher and Sarah Hussell also added a hit each to the winning cause. Higginbotham, Cochran and Davis each scored twice in the triumph, while Barker, Fisher and Hussell also scored a run apiece. Riffle drove in a game-high three RBIs, while Higginbotham, Cochran and Bekah Darst added an RBI apiece to the triumph. Cochran was the winning pitcher of record, allowing seven runs (one earned) and five hits over seven innings while fanning five. Morgan Triplett struck out three in the losing effort for the Lady Patriots. Kristen Hamilton led the guests with two hits, followed by Logan Somerville, Anna Richards and Jessica Hathaway with a safety each. Richards also scored three times in the setback. Point Pleasant has now won two straight decisions and eight of its last 10 contests. �LEGALS Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal PROBATE COURT OF MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO L.

The Meigs softball team was held without a hit the first time through the batting order Tuesday night, but the Lady Marauders turned the ship around and claimed the 5-1 non-conference victory over host Wahama. The Lady Falcons (12-9) got on the board in the home half of the third inning, when Bailey Hicks drove in Paige Gardner. The Lady Marauders (8-5) answered in the top of the fourth inning when Brook Andrus and Liddy Fish scored on RBI singles by Tess Phelps and Sadie Fox. Phelps came around to score on an error in the sixth frame, pushing the MHS lead to 3-1. Fish and Kayla Graham each scored in the seventh inning, expanding the lead to four. Wahama rallied for three two-out hits in the bottom of the seventh but failed to score and Meigs claimed the 5-1 victory. Destinee Blackwell earned the victory for MHS after giving up just one run on seven hits. Blackwell struck out five and walked none in a complete game effort. Destiny Divers suffered the setback for the Lady Falcons after giving up five runs, four earned, on eight hits. In seven innings of work Divers didn’t walk a batter, while striking out four. Fish, Phelps and Harley Fox led the Lady Marauders with two hits each, while Andrus and Sadie Fox each had one. Fish scored twice, while Andrus, Phelps and Graham each crossed the plate once. Rachel Roque and Amanda Gordon each had two hits to lead Wahama, while Gardner, Elisabeth Hendrick and Darian Weaver each had one. Gardner scored the lone WHS run on the Hicks RBI. Roque’s triple and Gardner’s double were the lone extra-base hits in the game. The Lady Marauders improve to 6-3 in non-league play this year and 5-2 against the TriValley Conference Hocking Division. Wahama falls to 6-9 in nonleague games. This game marks the only time the Lady Falcons face a TVC Ohio team this season. Meigs has now won two of its last three contests, while WHS is 1-2 in its last three games. This marks the third time this year the Lady Marauders have held a team to one run or fewer. URG baseball sweeps Ohio Christian Randy Payton Special to OVP CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — Kyle Miller tossed six innings of three-hit shutout baseball in game one, while the University of Rio Grande used a five-run sixth inning rally in game two of a doubleheader sweep of Ohio Christian University, Tuesday afternoon, in non-conference baseball action at Olson Field. The RedStorm cruised to a 9-0 win in the opener, while the late rally in the nightcap propelled an 8-3 triumph. The second game was halted one inning shy of its scheduled seven innings due to rain. Rio Grande, which completed a four-game season sweep of the Trailblazers, improved to 29-18 with the wins. Ohio Christian dropped to 10-23 with the two losses. Miller, a freshman lefthander from Wilmington, Ohio, allowed just three singles and struck out nine to earn his seventh win in eight decisions. Offensively, the RedStorm was led by senior Shane Spies (Polk, OH), who went 3-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and a pair of runs batted in. Sophomores Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) and Tyler Donaldson (Dayton, OH) both added two hits and an RBI in the winning effort. Rio scored twice in the first inning on a double by Spies and a single by freshman Chris Ford (Athens, OH) and twice more in the third inning on a Spies single and a double by Findley to take a 4-0 lead. Donaldson had an RBI hit in the fourth inning and senior Vince Perry (Cypress, CA) added a sacrifice fly in the fifth to extend the advantage to 6-0, before a three-run sixth inning set the final score. A wild pitch, a throwing error and Perry being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded accounted for the RedStorm’s final three markers. Nathan Wheeler started and took the loss for OCU, allowing 10 hits and six runs over five innings.

Ohio State, which announced the hiring Tuesday, didn’t disclose terms of McGuff’s contract. Washington said his buyout would be $1.75 million. “This is an amazing opportunity for my family and me to come back to the state of Ohio,” said McGuff, who spent nine seasons as the head coach at Xavier before taking the job with the Huskies. “As someone who is from state of Ohio, I know how special of a place this is and my goal is to have Ohio State competing at the highest level.” Miscellaneous Pets AGRICULTURE Call DISH NETWORK.

Your creativity determines the nature of events. Others would be hard-pressed to stop you from fulfilling a long-term desire or goal. If you are single, remember that you might be seeing your newfound sweetie through rose-colored shades. Take them off if you want to have a successful bond. If you are attached, realize that you lost your shades a while ago. In any case, you will start to see your significant other in a more positive light. LEO is a lover of life and love. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You are fiery right now, especially when dealing with a personal issue. If you hit a “nay,” you’ll automatically turn up your creativity in order to get a “yea.” Others seem very into having control. You might need to step back and let them take the lead. Tonight: Put on your game face. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Understand what is happening behind the scenes with a relative or neighbor. This person might not be revealing as much as you would like. As a result, you will stay guarded until he or she decides to open up. You might need to verbalize your terms. Tonight: Hang in there. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You can be possessive. You actually might feel a strong need to try to keep up with the Joneses. By noon, you’ll let go of this attitude, communicate better and draw others toward you. Express your true values. Tonight: Return all calls before deciding who, what or where. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Get as much done as possible before noon. Afterward, you might have to deal with a money matter or a decision. You know what you want — be willing to pay for it as well. You might change your mind once you see the cost. Tonight: Buy a treat on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Suddenly, the cards are stacked in your favor. Your personality and magnetism help you get what you desire, even if it is just an easy day or some extra free time. Know what you want! Others clearly are drawn to you. Tonight: Do not hesitate to ask for what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might encounter a funloving person in the morning and suddenly find yourself on an adventure. Detach some in the evening, as you might have some responsibilities to take care of. Not everyone thinks fun is a good reason to shirk responsibilities. Tonight: Vanish. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You rush into a project with an eye on the goal of completion. In the afternoon, you’ll discover even more reasons to cross items off your to-do list. Extend lunch as long as possible. You might want to relax and enjoy the company. Tonight: Where the action is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Staying grounded could be nearly impossible this morning. What you accomplish in little to no time might surprise even you, if you stay centered. If you do not want to accept any more responsibilities, simply say so. Others will pitch in to help. Tonight: To the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal with a partner or an associate directly in the morning. You might not be thrilled by everything that is happening. Look past the immediate to the long term, and you will be able to go along with the program. Tonight: Reach out to a friend or loved one at a distance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Someone could become so controlling that you might want to completely overpower him or her. Do you really think a showdown will work? Be subtle, yet claim your power. The way you visualize a partnership or a financial deal could become possible. Tonight: Togetherness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others might prove to be a hindrance. You can handle what is happening simply by ignoring them and not responding to their requests or demands. Continue as you have, and you will like how you land. Be more forthright in a discussion. Tonight: Sort through invitations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A loved one dominates your morning, at least in your thoughts. What you’ll discover is that you need to find another way around a problem. Apply your ingenuity, and answers will come forward soon enough. Tonight: Toss yourself into a favorite pastime.
