‘It Starts Here’ program helps business expand
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The nationally
known Snowville Creamery in
Meigs County is continuing to
grow and add jobs with help from
the local “It Starts Here” revolving
loan fund for businesses.
Perry Varnadoe, Meigs County’s
economic development director, advises that the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation,
along with USDA Rural Development, sponsors the “It Starts Here”
local revolving loan fund which is
geared to assist current and aspiring
entrepreneurs either start up or expand their businesses.
The Snowville Creamery is currently adding a line of yogurt products to go along with their popular
milk items. The “It Starts Here” loan
funds are helping Snowville business
with the packaging needed for their

“real American yogurt” to get onto
the shelves of major retailers around
the country.
The Snowville brand is now in supermarkets throughout the Midwest
and the East Coast.
“With the addition of the yogurt
line the Snowville Creamery will
grow to almost 50 employees while
purchasing most of their raw materials in Meigs County,” said Varnadoe.
He explained that the ” It Starts
Here” Fund makes loans to qualified entrepreneurs at competitive
rates, and preferably in cooperation
with a local bank. The current interest rate is one percent, and one
job should be created or retained
for each $10,000 borrowed. As for
how the money can be used, Varnadoe said that the loan proceeds can
be used to purchase machinery and
equipment, inventory, or for working capital. However, it cannot be
used to purchase or renovate real

estate, he said. Applicants must
have acceptable credit, a solid business plan and adequate loan security. There are additional reporting
requirements for the life of the loan.
Anyone interested in the program
and the assistance it can provide is
asked to contact Brenda Roush at
the Meigs County Economic Development Office at 992-3034, or brendar@meigscountyohio.com.
The
funds are limited and Varnadoe said
it is expected that applications will
exceed available funds.
The program is funded in part
by USDA Rural Development and

and the U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, discrimination on
the basis of race, color, national
origin, age, disability, religion,

Animal outreach aims to spruce up Meigs Shelter
MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs
County Dog Shelter will be getting
spruced up on Saturday.
As the summer approaches with
kennels in poor condition, a leaky
roof with no insulation and no hot
water to use for cleaning, the shelter is in need of a spruce up. When
the shelter is filled, dogs are packed
together in one of the few runs available which increases the frequency of
dog fights and spread of infectious,
deadly diseases.
Rescue Me Ohio, a virtual-based
animal outreach organization with
volunteers throughout the state,
recognized the disparity of the situation and is gathering the supplies
and manpower to spruce up the
shelter on May 4.

“Rescue Me Ohio was formed to
assist all aspects of animal welfare
and we are very excited to have the
opportunity to work with the shelter
staff and local government authorities to fix up the Meigs County Dog
Shelter,” says Christine Shepard,
Co-Director and Legal Counsel of
Rescue Me Ohio, a Cuyahoga Falls
resident. “Our Helping Hands Campaign provides assistance to underfunded shelters in need of cleaning
and repair. While it can be easy to
look down upon shelters which may
not have the most resources, Rescue Me Ohio replaces that criticism
with support and tries to get the
community involved.”
“We are overwhelmed by the
welcome we are already receiv-

ing from current shelter volunteers and Meigs County Commissioners,” says Kristen Summers,
Events Manager at Rescue Me
Ohio. Volunteers will travel to the
shelter on May 4, and will paint
the floors and walls of the facility, fix drainage problems, install
a hot-water tank and repair the
dog kennel area, among other repair projects. Rescue Me Ohio also
intends to bring most dogs at the
facility at the time to other rescues
for better opportunities of finding
a forever home.
If you would like to assist in some
way, donations and volunteers are
still needed. For more information,
please contact Rescue Me Ohio at
events@rescuemeohio.org.

POMEROY — The story of the only significant
battle of the Civil War in
Ohio which took place at
Buffington Island in 1863,
and the commemoration
of the 150th anniversary
to take place July 19-21
was the topic of Mary
Powell’s talk at a recent
meeting of the Meigs
County Retired Teachers
held at Trinity Church.
Powell, representing
the Chester-Shade Historical Association, told
the story of Confederate
General John Hunt Morgan who moved troops
from Kentucky to Indiana and across Ohio in
their quest to reach the
ford at Buffington Island
where they could cross

the Ohio River. Reaching the Portland community they were met
with Union forces and
the Battle of Buffington
Island followed resulting
in the defeat of the Confederate cavalry.
The
commemoration
will include a memorial
service in remembrance of
those who died in that battle. It will feature battle reenactments, lifestyle demonstrations, tours of the
route Morgan and his men
traveled, and will include
many Civil War exhibits at
the museums.
She also talked about
the Heritage Trail and
the interpretive markers
which are being placed
in Meigs County to mark

the trail Morgan and his
cavalry of about 2,000
men traveled.
Powell
noted
that
Chester Shade Days will
take place on July 20 and
will feature a round table
discussion about the
Civil War, the Ohio State
Harmonica Contest, and
conclude with the ball.
She gave each member a
copy of the 2013 Meigs
County Visitors Guide.
In appreciation for her
presentation, Gay Perrin presented Powell with a plant.
The meeting opened
with devotions by Maxine
Whitehead who read “Just
for Today” and “God’s Answer.” Prayer preceded the
luncheon served by the
church women.

Cards were signed for
Kathleen Scott, Masrtha
Vennari, and Becky Zurcher for the loss of her mother. Reports were given by
Janice Weber, secretary,
and Bil Downie, treasurer.
Members provided paper
products and personal care
items for the women’s shelter, and volunteer hours
were acknowledged and
members encouraged to
continue their work.
The Meigs Middle
School Relay for Life was
announced for May 21
with some help from the
retired teachers.
Door prizes went to
Rosalie Story and Maxine
Whitehead. Next meeting
will be at the Wild Horse
Cafe May 23.

Italy’s new government wins first confidence vote
ROME (AP) — Italy’s new government easily passed its first confirmation vote Monday in Parliament
after Premier Enrico Letta made
concessions to his uneasy coalition
allies, promising to ease part of a
slate of austerity measures that have
weighed on Italians impatient at the
slow pace of economic recovery.
While pledging the country will do
what the eurozone wants to improve
its public finances and debt problem,
the center-left leader has to placate
his tense two-day-old coalition, including former premier Silvio Berlusconi’s conservatives, whose support
he needs for confirmation.
The lower house of Parliament,
the Chamber of Deputies, approved
his fledgling government by a vote
of 453 to 153. The government faces
the second mandatory confidence
vote of confirmation in the Senate on
Tuesday afternoon.
Bending in part to a key Berlusconi campaign promise, Letta said
his government will immediately suspend an unpopular tax on primary
residences due in June and make it
fairer to less affluent taxpayers. He
also pledged not to raise the sales tax
and to reduce some payroll taxes.
“Reducing taxes is a priority,”
Letta said, promising he would “pinpoint a strategy to revive growth
without interfering with the process
to heal finances.”
The European Union has insisted on rigorous austerity to heal
Italy’s finances, but the public’s
patience has been tried by spending cuts and higher taxes. Voters
across the continent have been rebelling against governments that
have imposed such measures.
While Letta stressed the urgency
of reducing the tax burden on hom-

eowners, consumers and businesses,
he didn’t say how he planned to make
up for the reduced revenues. He
might have to resort to more spending cuts, which could ultimately
sharpen an already harsh part of the
austerity agendas.
Markets appeared pleased over
Letta’s brand new government.
Italy’s stock market was trading
up some 2.2 percent at the market’s close, while the country’s borrowing costs on its 10-year bonds
dropped below 4 percent for the
first time since 2010.
The failure of Letta’s party to win
both chambers in the February election left the nation in political paralysis until he agreed to a deal on Saturday with Berlusconi.
Berlusconi had demanded that
the new government honor his
No. 1 campaign promise to voters
— abolishing the property tax on
primary residences and refunding
what Italians paid in the tax last
year. Letta didn’t say if last year’s
property tax payments would be
refunded, but a top Berlusconi
aide immediately shouted victory
and insisted it would be.
“If Letta wants the PDL votes, this
is the condition posed in a coalition
government,” an exultant Brunetta
told state TV, referring to the initials
of Berlusconi’s party.
Standard &amp; Poor’s rating services said that it wasn’t clear yet
whether the government can put
growth reforms in place, but said
Letta’s initial comments “suggest
an intention to slow, but not to reverse” the pace of austerity.
Intent on reassuring eurozone
governments and European Union
officials that despite his demanding
coalition partners, Italy’s would stay

the course of economic reform, Letta
will soon visit major European capitals. He begins in Berlin on Tuesday,
assuming his government wins the
Senate confidence vote.
He’ll also visit Paris and Brussels to give, as he put it, a “sign
that this is a European and a proEurope government.”
He vowed to keep the sales tax
from rising to 22 percent from 21
percent in July, as predecessor Mario Monti’s government had planned.
Italy’s business sector is worried the
higher tax would discourage consumers from buying everything from
washing machines to new clothing.
The new premier also pledged to
reduce payroll taxes for businesses
hiring the young or those currently
on temporary work contracts.
Italy’s central bank said Monday
that Italian companies were suffering ever more as loans dry up, with
banks reluctant to make risky deals.
Italians are impatient after 18
months of austerity budget, pension
reform and new taxes under Monti
to see jobs return and the small and
medium firms that power the economy bounce back. Letta denounced
the “anger and conflict” that the fiveyear economic slump has triggered.
On Sunday, an unemployed man
shot and wounded two police officers
Sunday in a crowded square outside
the prime minister’s office at the
same time the government was being sworn in elsewhere in the capital.
The premier indicated his impatience with the political class’ failure
to enact reforms. He indicated that
he would give this legislature 18
months to make serious inroads or
he might throw in the towel. However, virtually nobody expects the new
government to last anywhere near
Parliament’s five-year term.

Gay Catholic school teacher fights firing
(AP) — A gay teacher
who said she was fired by
an Ohio Catholic school after her mother’s published
obituary included the name
of her partner is fighting to
get her job back.
Carla Hale, 57, said she
was told she was being let
go because her relationship is against teachings
of the church.
She plans to file a complaint this week with the
city of Columbus, which
prohibits firings based on
sexual orientation, her attorney said Monday. She
already filed a grievance
that is now in the hands of
a union representing teachers in the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Columbus.
Some current and former students have rallied behind the physical
education teacher, staging a protest outside the
diocese headquarters and
starting an online petition
that has collected about
100,000 supporters.
Hale said she was fired
during Holy Week in
March after an anonymous
letter sent to school administrators drew attention to
the obituary published in
The Columbus Dispatch.
A copy of the letter
provided by her attorney was signed “a concerned parent.”
“My daughter came
home and told me that
one of the gym teacher’s
mother had died,” the let-

ter said. “She asked me
to pray for her. When we
looked in the obituaries, I
was shocked by what I saw.
It had her teacher’s name
and that of her ‘spouse’
listed. It was two females!”
Hale, who is Methodist, was informed about
two weeks after her
mother’s death that the
school was investigating, but she never had a
chance to discuss it with
school leaders, said attorney Thomas Tootle.
Hale, who had spent 19
years teaching at Bishop
Watterson High School,
said the decision to acknowledge her partner
was not immoral.
“It’s kind of baffling
that someone would take
an obituary and use it, to
me, in such a mean-spirited manner,” Hale said at a
news conference last week.
The Diocese of Columbus would not comment directly about the firing, but
it said school employees
can’t go against teachings
of the church.
“All Catholic school
personnel at the outset of
their employment agree
that they will abide by
the rules, regulations and
policies of the Catholic
Diocese, including respecting the moral values
advanced by the teachings of Christ,” the diocese said in a statement.
Hale’s attorney said he
will file a complaint Tues-

day with a Columbus community relations board,
arguing that the firing violates the city ordinance on
employers discriminating
based on sexual orientation. Another option is a
wrongful termination lawsuit, Tootle said.
He said some courts
have allowed religious

groups exemptions to similar discrimination laws,
but he thinks the case is
similar to one in Cincinnati where a teacher challenged her firing by the
archdiocese over her use
of artificial insemination
to become pregnant. A federal judge has allowed that
lawsuit to continue.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man charged
with making a deadly poison sent to President Barack
Obama and others was ordered held without bond until a
hearing later this week when prosecutors are expected to
describe what evidence they have against him
James Everett Dutschke made a brief appearance
Monday in federal court wearing an orange jumpsuit
with his hands shackled. Authorities spent several days
last week searching Dutschke’s home and former business but have said very little about the suspect beyond a
news release announcing the charge of making and possessing ricin over the weekend.
Dutschke’s arrest early Saturday capped a week in which
investigators initially zeroed in on a rival of Dutschke’s,
then decided they had the wrong man. Dutschke (pronounced DUHS’-kee) has denied involvement in the mailing of the letters, saying he’s a patriot with no grudges
against anyone.
The 41-year-old suspect said little during his
hearing other than answering affirmatively to the
judge’s questions about whether he understood the
charges against him.
The judge ordered Dutschke to remain jailed until
a preliminary and detention hearing scheduled for
Thursday. More details are likely to emerge at that
hearing, when prosecutors have to show they have
enough evidence to hold him.
An attorney from the public defender’s office appointed
to represent Dutschke declined to comment after Monday’s hearing. Another attorney of Dutschke’s, Lori Nail
Basham, said she will continue to represent him in other
matters but not the federal case.
Dutschke’s house, business and vehicles in Tupelo,
Miss., were searched last week, often by crews in hazardous materials suits, and he had been under surveillance.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted. A news
release from federal authorities said Dutschke was
charged with “knowingly developing, producing, stockpiling, transferring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biological agent, toxin and delivery system, for
use as a weapon, to wit: ricin.”
He already had legal problems. Earlier this month, he
pleaded not guilty in state court to two child molestation
charges involving three girls younger than 16, at least one
of whom was a student at his martial arts studio. He also
was appealing a conviction on a different charge of indecent exposure. He told The Associated Press last week
that his lawyer told him not to comment on those cases.
The letters, which tests showed were tainted with ricin,
were sent April 8 to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of
Mississippi and Mississippi judge Sadie Holland.
The first suspect accused by the FBI was Paul Kevin
Curtis, 45, an Elvis impersonator. He was arrested on
April 17 at his Corinth, Miss., home, but the charges
were dropped six days later and Curtis, who says he was
framed, was released from jail.
The focus then turned to Dutschke, who has ties to
the former suspect and the judge. Earlier in the week, as
investigators searched his primary residence in Tupelo,
Dutschke told the AP, “I don’t know how much more of
this I can take.”
“I’m a patriotic American. I don’t have any grudges against anybody. … I did not send the letters,”
Dutschke said.
Curtis’ attorney, Christi McCoy, said Saturday: “We are
relieved but also saddened. This crime is nothing short of
diabolical. I have seen a lot of meanness in the past two
decades, but this stops me in my tracks.”
Some of the language in the letters was similar to
posts on Curtis’ Facebook page and they were signed,
“I am KC and I approve this message.” Curtis often
used a similar online signoff.
Dutschke and Curtis were acquainted. Curtis said they
had talked about possibly publishing a book on a conspiracy that Curtis insists he has uncovered to sell body parts
on a black market. But he said they later had a feud.
Curtis’ attorneys have said they believe their client
was set up. An FBI agent testified that no evidence of
ricin was found in searches of Curtis’ home. Curtis attorney Hal Neilson said the defense gave authorities a list
of people who may have had a reason to hurt Curtis and
Dutschke’s came up.
Judge Holland also is a common link between the two
men, and both know Wicker. Dutschke’s MySpace page
has several pictures with him and Wicker at what appear
to be campaign events.
Holland was the presiding judge in a 2004 case in
which Curtis was accused of assaulting a Tupelo attorney
a year earlier. Holland sentenced him to six months in the
county jail. He served only part of the sentence, according
to his brother.
Holland’s family has had political skirmishes with
Dutschke. Her son, Steve Holland, a Democratic state
representative, said he thinks his mother’s only encounter with Dutschke was at a rally in the town of
Verona in 2007, when Dutschke ran as a Republican
against Steve Holland.
Holland said his mother confronted Dutschke after he
made a derogatory speech about the Holland family. She
demanded that he apologize, which Holland says he did.
Dutschke said Steve Holland exaggerated the incident,
and that he has no problem with Sadie Holland. “Everybody loves Sadie, including me,” he said.

NYPD whistle-blowers EPA methane report
further divides fracking
testify at stop-frisk trial
Kevin Begos

The Associated Press

Colleen Long
and Tom Hays

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — After
Officer Pedro Serrano decided to testify in federal
court about what he sees
as wrongdoing within the
New York Police Department, a rat sticker appeared on his locker.
That was the least of
his problems.
Serrano claims he’s been
harassed, micromanaged
and eventually transferred
to a different precinct and
put on the overnight shift.
“It hasn’t been a picnic,”
he said in an interview this
week. “They have their
methods of dealing with
someone like me.”
Serrano and other whistle-blowers took the stand
in a civil rights case challenging some of the 5 million streets stops made by
police in the past decade
using a tactic known as
stop and frisk. They believe illegal quotas are behind some wrongful stops
of black and Hispanic men.
“A lot of people told
me not to come forward
because of what would
happen — they said the
department would come
after me,” Serrano said.
“But I’ve been thinking
about it since 2007. I felt I
couldn’t keep quiet.”
Several other officers
and police brass testified
to the opposite: They say
there are no quotas. Most
officers follow the letter
of the law, and low-performing cops like Serrano
are lazy malcontents who
make the city less safe.
Under NYPD policy, officers are required to report
corruption without fear of
retribution to the internal
affairs bureau, which investigates the claims.
But starting with legendary
whistle-blower
Frank Serpico in the
1970s, corruption scandals large and small have
exposed a clannish culture
that critics say encourages
police officers to turn a
blind eye to wrongdo-

ing and never question
authority — or else face
harassment by peers and
punishment by superiors.
As a plainclothes officer, Serpico was labeled a
traitor for refusing payoffs
and reporting corruption.
On Feb. 3, 1971, he was
shot in the face during a
drug raid; he says other
officers purposely failed
to back him up. He recovered and testified before
the Knapp Commission —
a story etched in popular
culture by a hit movie starring Al Pacino.
In the early 1990s, an
internal affairs investigator
who pursued drug-dealing
officers was blackballed by
his commanders before an
independent investigation
by the Mollen Commission proved him right. And
the 1997 police assault of
Abner Louima resulted in
charges against officers
who kept quiet because of
a so-called blue wall of silence — an unspoken code
among the rank-and-file to
never “rat” on each other.
“Nothing’s changed,” the
76-year-old Serpico said in
a recent phone interview
when asked about the current crop of whistle-blowers. “It’s the same old crap
— kill the messenger.”
In the ongoing federal
trial over stop and frisk,
lawyers for men who have
sued police are seeking
to show a disproportionate number of black and
Hispanic men are being
wrongly stopped in part
because officers are under
too much pressure to keep
enforcement numbers up.
Serrano, along with Officers Adhyl Polanco and
Adrian Schoolcraft secretly
recorded hours of patrol
briefings, meetings with
bosses and encounters on
the streets that they say
show they were being targeted by overzealous officials bent on making their
precincts look good. The recordings were played at trial.
Both Serrano and Polanco said they made stops
they didn’t think were
right as a result.

“I was extremely bothered with what I was seeing out there,” Polanco
testified. “The racial profiling, the arresting people
for no reason, being called
to scenes that I did not observe a violation and being
forced to write a summons
that I didn’t observe.”
Polanco said he agonized over the decision to
come forward.
“I was afraid,” he said.
“It’s not that easy to report
corruption. … Look at what
happened to Schoolcraft.”
Schoolcraft, who didn’t
appear in court because
he has filed his own federal suit, was taken to a
psychiatric ward in 2009
by his superiors, he says
against his will. He remains suspended.
Polanco was suspended
with pay for years after internal affairs officers brought
charges of filing false arrest paperwork; he says the
charges came because he
detailed a list of complaints
to internal affairs.
Serrano testified that
he received poor evaluations, was denied vacation days and was forced
to work overtime as punishment because he tallied too few arrests and
stop-and-frisk reports.
“There’s
a
whole
bunch of things they do,
but they’re minor,” Serrano said. “But when
you put it all together, it
becomes a hostile work
environment.”
For example, he says, he
never saw his commanding officer until word got
out about his quota allegations — then the official
was personally checking
Serrano’s shift paperwork.
He says he was forced to
drive around with a sergeant and issue summonses and stop people until he
brought up his numbers.
Even after his numbers
improved, his evaluations
didn’t. And he claimed he
was forced to come in during a massive snowstorm
even though he was nearly
in a car accident.

PITTSBURGH — The Environmental Protection Agency has dramatically
lowered its estimate of how much of a
potent heat-trapping gas leaks during
natural gas production, in a shift with
major implications for a debate that has
divided environmentalists: Does the recent boom in fracking help or hurt the
fight against climate change?
Oil and gas drilling companies had
pushed for the change, but there have been
differing scientific estimates of the amount
of methane that leaks from wells, pipelines
and other facilities during production and
delivery. Methane is the main component
of natural gas.
The new EPA data is “kind of an earthquake” in the debate over drilling, said
Michael Shellenberger, the president of the
Breakthrough Institute, an environmental
group based in Oakland, Calif. “This is
great news for anybody concerned about
the climate and strong proof that existing
technologies can be deployed to reduce
methane leaks.”
The scope of the EPA’s revision was
vast. In a mid-April report on greenhouse
emissions, the agency now says that
tighter pollution controls instituted by
the industry resulted in an average annual decrease of 41.6 million metric tons
of methane emissions from 1990 through
2010, or more than 850 million metric
tons overall. That’s about a 20 percent
reduction from previous estimates. The
agency converts the methane emissions
into their equivalent in carbon dioxide,
following standard scientific practice.
The EPA revisions came even though
natural gas production has grown by nearly
40 percent since 1990. The industry has
boomed in recent years, thanks to a stunning expansion of drilling in previously untapped areas because of the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which injects
sand, water and chemicals to break apart
rock and free the gas inside.
Experts on both sides of the debate say
the leaks can be controlled by fixes such as
better gaskets, maintenance and monitoring. Such fixes are also thought to be costeffective, since the industry ends up with
more product to sell.
“That is money going up into the air,”
said Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, adding he isn’t surprised the EPA’s
new data show more widespread use of pollution control equipment. Pielke noted that
the success of the pollution controls also
means that the industry “probably can go
further” in reducing leaks.
Representatives of the oil and gas industry said the EPA revisions show emissions
from the fracking boom can be managed.
“The methane ‘leak’ claim just got a lot

more difficult for opponents” of natural
gas, noted Steve Everley, with Energy In
Depth, an industry-funded group.
In a separate blog post, Everley predicted future reductions, too.
“As technologies continue to improve,
it’s hard to imagine those methane numbers going anywhere but down as we eagerly await the next installment of this EPA
report,” Everley wrote.
One leading environmentalist argued the EPA revisions don’t change
the bigger picture.
“We need a dramatic shift off carbonbased fuel: coal, oil and also gas,” Bill McKibbern, the founder of 350.org, wrote in an
email to The Associated Press. “Natural gas
provides at best a kind of fad diet, where a
dangerously overweight patient loses a few
pounds and then their weight stabilizes;
instead, we need at this point a crash diet,
difficult to do” but needed to limit the damage from climate change.
The EPA said it made the changes based
on expert reviews and new data from several sources, including a report funded by
the oil and gas industry. But the estimates
aren’t based on independent field tests of
actual emissions, and some scientists said
that’s a problem.
Robert Howarth, a Cornell University
professor of ecology who led a 2011 methane leak study that is widely cited by critics of fracking, wrote in an email that “time
will tell where the truth lies in all this, but I
think EPA is wrong.”
Howarth said other federal climate scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have published
recent studies documenting massive methane leaks from natural gas operations in
Colorado and other Western states.
Howarth wrote that the EPA seems “to
be ignoring the published NOAA data in
their latest efforts, and the bias on industry
only pushing estimates downward — never up — is quite real. EPA badly needs a
counter-acting force, such as outside independent review of their process.”
The issue of methane leaks has caused a
major split between environmental groups.
Since power plants that burn natural gas
emit about half the amount of the greenhouse gases as coal-fired power, some say
that the gas drilling boom has helped the
U.S. become the only major industrialized
country to significantly reduce greenhouse
emissions. But others believe the methane
leaks negate any benefits over coal, since
methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas.
The new EPA figures still show natural
gas operations as the leading source of
methane emissions in the U.S., at about
145 million metric tons in 2011. The next
biggest source was enteric fermentation,
scientific jargon for belches from cows and
other animals, at 137 million metric tons.
Landfills were the third-biggest source, at
103 million metric tons.

Authorities: Student shoots
self in Ohio classroom
CINCINNATI (AP) — An honors
student at an all-male Catholic high
school tried to commit suicide in his
first-period classroom Monday, police
said, critically wounding himself with
a gunshot and sending other students
scrambling for cover.
La Salle High School west of Cincinnati was locked down until after police arrived and determined there was no threat
to other students or staff. A University of
Cincinnati Medical Center spokeswoman
reported the student’s condition as critical Monday afternoon, about six hours
after the shooting.
Green Township Police Chief Bart West
described the weapon as a semi-automatic
handgun. He said police were investigating how the student obtained the gun and
how he brought it into the school.
West said there were 22 other students in the classroom, and the epi-

sode was over “in a matter of seconds”
with no other students injured or apparently threatened. Several students
called 911 dispatchers.
“There’s a guy with a gun,” said a student who called on his cellphone from inside a nearby locked room. “We just need
police here ….”
“We’re huddled in a corner,” another
student said in a call.
There was conflicting information on
precisely what time the shooting took
place, but school officials said it was during the first class period of the day.
Hospital spokeswoman Diana Maria
Lara released a statement from the boy’s
parents thanking people for their thoughts
and prayers while asking for privacy “so
that we can do what we need to for our
son and family.” They praised the hospital
medical staff’s “heroic efforts.”

In addition to his parents, Brooks was preceded in
death by a sister, Wilma (Norman) Styer; and brothers, Paul, Howard, and Doug.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, in the Cremeens Funeral Home, Racine, with Pastor Wes Thoene officiating. Interment
will follow in the Letart Falls Cemetery. Friends may
call from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday at the funeral home. Military graveside services will be conducted by Racine
Post #602, Middleport Feeney Bennett Post #128 of
the American Legion, and Tupper Plains Post #9053,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Soft-spoken Virginian
holds sway on immigration
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Depending on whom you
ask, Rep. Bob Goodlatte
is either trying to stand
in the way of landmark
immigration legislation or
he illustrates the new face
of the GOP trying to find
common ground on a contentious issue.
Either way, the softspoken collector of elephant figurines and
signed baseballs is asserting his pivotal role in
the immigration debate
as it moves into a critical
phase on Capitol Hill.
Goodlatte, a conservative Virginian, took over as
chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in January, with jurisdiction over
both immigration and gun
control for House Republicans. He alarmed some
immigration advocates last
week by saying his panel
will tackle the issue piece
by piece, advancing a series of narrowly crafted
measures rather than a single sweeping bill like the
one pending in the Senate
and endorsed by President
Barack Obama.
That broader legislation,
crafted by a bipartisan
group of eight senators,
is headed for votes in the
Senate Judiciary Committee starting next week.
Kica Matos, director of
immigrant rights and racial justice at the Center
for Community Change,
called Goodlatte’s move “a
desperate attempt to delay
and disrupt overwhelming
momentum” behind legislation to provide legal status
and eventual citizenship to
millions of foreigners now
in the U.S. illegally.
A prominent liberal
who’s worked with Goodlatte disagreed.
It “confirms what I have
been saying publicly and
privately about the new
tone and new interest
among Republicans,” said
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.
“They want to solve the
immigration policy issue
and not just exploit it for
partisan politics.”
Goodlatte’s approach is
nothing new for him. For
two decades in the House,
he’s plotted a steady, deliberate course on issues from
agriculture to Internet
privacy. He looks for consensus where possible, but
without abandoning his
conservative ideology or
departing too much from
the GOP party line, people
who know him say.
The difference now is
that instead of laboring
largely behind the scenes,
Goodlatte heads a committee with jurisdiction
over key pieces of Obama’s
ambitious
second-term
agenda, most prominently
immigration. He says he’s

eager to advance the matter, convinced that his
piece-by-piece approach
is the best way to get the
issue moving in the House
but not declaring the
method will prevail at the
end of the day.
“This process can be
long, but it allows every
representative and senator
to have their constituents’
voices heard,” Goodlatte
said. “And by taking a
fine-tooth comb through
each of the individual issues within the larger immigration debate, it will
help us get a better bill
that will benefit Americans and provide a workable immigration system.”
In many ways Goodlatte, 60, has been preparing his entire career for his
new role, including a first
job out of law school as
district staff director for
an earlier Judiciary Committee member, Caldwell
Butler, who served during the impeachment of
President Richard Nixon.
A Massachusetts native
who moved to Virginia
for law school and stayed
— but remains a devoted
Red Sox fan — Goodlatte,
who lives in Roanoke, also
worked as an immigration
lawyer helping clients navigate the byzantine steps
involved in bringing workers legally to the U.S.
Goodlatte, who wears
thin-rimmed glasses and,
sometimes, a brown suit
with a tie adorned with
American flags, is almost
universally described as
approachable and willing to listen to opposing views. In addition to
collecting baseballs and
elephant statuettes that
crowd the shelves of his office, he’s a history buff who
has traveled to the homes
and birthplaces of almost
every U.S. president and
grows most animated
when rattling off obscure
facts about them.
Goodlatte’s most highprofile role in Congress to
date came during last session’s heated debate over
Internet piracy. As head of
the his committee’s intellectual property subcommittee, he helped shepherd
the Stop Online Piracy
Act, which ignited a firestorm of opposition from
critics claiming it would

result in censorship and
stifle innovation.
Congress
abandoned
the bill in an embarrassing retreat, with Goodlatte and other backers
derided as Luddites with
no understanding of the
Internet. Goodlatte says
now that the debate never
played out as he would
have preferred.
“I worked on that for a
long time and was working in a different direction, and then a decision
was made to go a different
direction, and it was a bill
introduced by the chairman of the committee, not
me,” he said.
That acknowledgement
may point to limits to
what Goodlatte might do
on immigration, or any
other issue. He’s not seen
as likely to bolt from what
GOP leaders decide. “He’s
not a rogue chairman,”
said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, DCalif., a senior Judiciary
Committee member.
Indeed Goodlatte is not
going to have the final word
on how any immigration
overhaul moves forward in
the House. That will fall to
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who could end
up using an individual bill
passed by Goodlatte’s committee as the vehicle for
negotiating a compromise
with the Senate on whatever more sweeping legislation it passes. A bipartisan
group of House members
operating separately from
Goodlatte also is working
on wide-ranging immigration overhaul legislation,
though it’s unclear when
those lawmakers will conclude a final deal and release their bill.
Despite his preference
for a step-by-step approach
that some activists fear
could drag out immigration
overhaul until it comes to
nothing, Goodlatte sounds
decidedly open to compromise on the trickiest policy
issue for Republicans in
the debate — how to deal
with the estimated 11 million immigrants already
here illegally. He envisions
a legal status short of citizenship for them, and from
there the potential to make
use of the existing legal
avenues to naturalization,
whether through work or
family connections.

Blue Devils split with Unioto, Athens
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The
Gallia Academy baseball team
had a four-game winning streak
snapped Saturday afternoon
during a non-conference doubleheader split with Unioto and
Athens at the V.A. Memorial Stadium in Ross County.
The Blue Devils (17-2) extended their winning streak to four after rallying back from an 11-6 deficit to claim a 12-11 decision over

Unioto in the opener, but Athens
led wire-to-wire in the nightcap to
hand GAHS a 15-4 setback.
Gallia Academy broke a scoreless tie in the top of the third
after sending 11 batters to the
plate, which resulted in six runs
on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman. The Shermans answered
with two runs in their half of
the third to pull to within 6-2
through three complete.
UHS, however, sent 15 batters
to the plate in the bottom of the
fifth, allowing the hosts to score

nine runs on three hits, four
walks and two GAHS errors to
claim a sizable 11-6 cushion.
The Blue Devils countered with
six runs in the top of the sixth,
which was capped by a Cody Russell RBI on a fielder’s choice that
allowed Jimmy Clagg to score
the eventual game-winning run.
GAHS sent 10 batters to the plate
in the sixth, which resulted in a
half-dozen runs on four hits, two
walks and one Unioto error.
The Shermans — who were
outhit by Gallia Academy on a

13-9 overall margin — managed
to get the tying run to first base in
each of their final two at-bats, but
ultimately came up short in their
game-tying bid. Both teams committed two errors in the contest.
Gustin Graham was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three runs (one earned), two
hits and two walks over 2.2 innings of relief work while fanning
six. McCalla suffered the loss
after surrendering three earned
runs, two hits and a walk to three
hitters without getting an out.

Clagg led the Blue Devils with
three hits, followed by Gage
Childers with two safeties. Russell, John Faro, Justin Bailey, Eric
Ward and Bobby Dunlap also
added a hit apiece in the triumph.
Childers drove in a team-high
three RBIs, followed by Faro,
Bailey and Russell with two RBIs
apiece. Childers, Faro, Clagg,
Ward and Ty Warnimont each
scored twice for the guests.
Tisdale led UHS with two hits

COAL GROVE, Ohio
— No power shortage for
the Lady Raiders.
The River Valley softball team marked six
extra-base hits en route
to a 12-2 mercy rule

Grove Friday night in

COAL GROVE, Ohio —
Revenge at its worst.
The Coal Grove baseball team avenged its April
10th loss to River Valley

Conference victory in Lawrence County Friday night.
The Hornets (4-8, 2-6
OVC) marked two runs in
the first inning and added
four in the second to go
ahead 6-0 early. River Valley (4-12, 1-7) marked its

AHS scored three times
in the fifth for a 7-1 lead,

hosts, however, never came
closer the rest of the way.
Athens sent 11 batters
to the plate in the top of
the seventh, resulting in
eight runs on three hits,
three walks and three errors. GAHS got a two-out
double from Faro in the seventh, but ultimately left him
stranded in the 15-4 finale.
The Blue Devils — who

CINCINNATI (AP) — By drafting
a tight end with sure hands and a running back that can catch passes, the
Bengals think they’ve given their offense what it’s lacked most.
A couple more playmakers are
about to join an offense that didn’t
have enough of them late last season, leading to another quick exit
from the playoffs.
“Well, there shouldn’t be any excuses,” quarterback Andy Dalton
said on Monday. “With the players
we already have and adding these
guys is just going to make the offense better. So I expect us to take
the next step. I expect us to improve
from where we were last year.”
Cincinnati made the playoffs for a
second straight season — something
done only one other time in franchise
history — but had another rough
time in the postseason. For the second year in a row, the Bengals lost to
Houston in the opening round.
They haven’t won a playoff game
since the 1990 season, going 0-4
under coach Marvin Lewis. It’s
tied for the seventh-longest stretch
without a playoff win in NFL history, according to STATS.
The offense has been the biggest
problem the last two seasons.
Dalton and receiver A.J. Green
emerged as rookie stars in 2011, getting the Bengals to the playoffs with
their ability to hook up on highlight
plays. It wasn’t enough to get them
very far in the postseason.
The Bengals didn’t get another
proven receiver last season, and the
passing game was overly dependent
upon Green again. Cincinnati finished only 22nd in yards on offense
and 12th in points, although the defense had a big hand in that.
The defense scored a touchdown in
each of the last four games, including
Leon Hall’s interception return during a 19-13 playoff loss to Houston.
The defense had three touchdowns
in the last three games, while the offense managed only one.
The Bengals have tried to recti-

fy that by drafting tight end Tyler
Eifert from Notre Dame in the first
round and running back Giovani
Bernard from North Carolina in the
second. Their top two draft picks
were dedicated to giving the offense
more playmakers.
Everyone noticed the emphasis.
“I think the offense is starting to go
into the mode and the identity that
I think (offensive coordinator) Jay
Gruden has,” running backs coach
Hue Jackson said. “Our job is to
score points. And in order to do that,
you’ve got to make sure you have
players that can do that. And we have
some on this team right now.”
In the final three games last season, Green was the only real threat.
The Bengals converted only 7 of
37 third-down plays in those three
games, failed to pick up 200 yards
in two of the three games, and averaged only 47 yards rushing. Dalton was 48 of 48 for 783 yards with
one touchdown, three interceptions and a passer rating of 61.3,
well below average.
In addition to the newcomers, the
Bengals are hoping that receiver
Mohamed Sanu is fully recovered
from a broken foot that cut short his
rookie season. Sanu, a third-round
pick from Rutgers last year, had
worked his way into the starting
lineup when he broke his left foot
and needed surgery on Dec. 3.
Sanu caught 16 passes for 154
yards with four touchdowns in nine
games last season, ran five times for
15 yards and threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Green out of a wildcat
formation.
Sanu expects to be at full-speed for
the team’s offseason workouts in May.
“My body feels great,” Sanu said
on Monday. “Now it’s just a matter
of getting back out there and ready
to play. I’m already 100 percent
(healed). Now I’m just getting to the
point where I want to be as far as being in shape and getting ready for the
OTAs and the season.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
April 30, 2013:
This year you breeze through
your daily activities with ease. You
are remarkably flexible, which surprises many people. Communication
becomes an even higher priority, and
you see the advantage of this skill
when buying a car or some other
big-ticket item. Wait until summer
before considering this purchase. If
you are single, someone has a crush
on you. Look around. This person
could be very special to you. If you are
attached, make a point of going out to
dinner or having a picnic together with
just the two of you. CANCER taps into
your moods.
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 make quite an impression on someone. If this person has
any preconceived impressions or judgments about you, they will slip away
as your authentic self emerges. Your
self-esteem might be boosted by his or
her positive feedback. Tonight: Head
home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH You might rock the boat,
which is something you usually try
not to do. A new perspective results
from discussing a changeable situation. An associate or a loved one
could become even more withdrawn.
Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH You might not want to reveal
all of your thoughts about a key partnership, as you could realize how
many changes you have gone through
with the other party involved, both
professionally and personally. Make
a solid decision with this knowledge.
Tonight: Indulge.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You have the backing of
friends. For the most part, you can
do no wrong; however, there always
seems to be someone who likes being
contentious. You could have your
hands full, so you are likely to avoid
being wherever this person is. Tonight:
Do your own thing!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You are inclined to dive into
work and get as much done as possible. You might have a new approach
to a situation. Let others feel free to
comment. Though you might not agree
with every idea, you could with many.
Resist a squabble if possible. Tonight:
Keep it light.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH Conversations with you
often come up cold or not direct, especially at this present time. Establish
limits. A loved one shows unusual
caring, allowing you to relax and/or
come up with some creative solutions.
Encourage suggestions and feedback.
Tonight: Happy as a cat.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH You can’t seem to gain sufficient control in a certain situation.
Someone around you is particularly
creative, so it would be wise to ask this
person for his or her advice. You are
lucky to have this resource. Tonight:
Head home, but encourage a discussion with a dear loved one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You seem to pick the right
words to get a situation moving.
Understand that you can be more
dominant than you currently are. It is
hard for you to give up control, but you
might want to make an effort to step
back more often. Tonight: Think before
you act or have a discussion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You are your own worst critic.
You might want to open up to others’
ideas and share more of what you
experience personally. You are surrounded by a great deal of compassion. For today, surround yourself with
people whom you care a lot about.
Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Listen to news more
responsively. You are capable of
opening someone up who might be
closed down right now. You know how
to persuade this person to share his
or her feelings, provided you do so in
a safe place. Use care with a grumpy
boss. Tonight: Let the party begin.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Be careful with someone you
meet today for the first time, as this
person might not be everything that he
or she claims to be. His or her words
will reveal much if you take the time to
listen. Work together toward a resolution. Tonight: Try to take a break from
the hectic pace.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Touch base with someone at
a distance. Your feeling will change
once you start having an open discussion. You might feel as if someone is
making a problem far more complicated than it needs to be. Others could
be distracted. Tonight: Focus on getting your to-do list finished.

Browns wrap first
draft under Haslam

National Day of Prayer Observance

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
The Browns’ first draft
under new owner Jimmy
Haslam, a fresh front office
and coaching staff was anything but ordinary.
It was unpredictable,
productive, maybe even
a little odd.
Over three days, the
team continued its latest rebuilding project by
addressing some glaring
needs. The Browns picked
LSU pass rusher Barkevious Mingo in the first
round, acquired veteran
wide receiver Davone Bess
in a trade from Miami and
selected San Diego State
cornerback Leon McFadden in the third round.
Those were smart, solid moves.

coming off a ruptured

was arrested in October
for selling marijuana to a
friend on campus.

pick a quarterback despite
rampant pre-draft speculation they might take either
Geno Smith or EJ Manuel.
All in all, the Browns
came away feeling good
about what they’d done.
