The Great Depression has been tearing at all corners of America since the stock market crash of 1929. Unemployment across the country has skyrocketed in all sectors and industries. One in four working Americans is without a job. The hungry and homeless are everywhere. Life during that time period with the struggle to survive and the anguish and hopelessness brought on by The Great Depression is told by the Mad River Theater Works, a professional touring theater company, in a production called “The Living Newspaper” which came to Meigs County last week. All of the county’s students in grades three through high school, Meigs, Eastern and Southern, saw the production over a three day period in the Larry R. Morrison auditorium at Meigs High School. The play is a series of historically-based stories of individuals and communities overcoming obstacles of race and equality collected over a period of 30 years and molded into a format which has been performed in community centers, schools, colleges, and theaters across the country. The program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, along with funding from foundations, corporations and individuals. Arrangements to bring the production to Meigs County were completed by William Buckley before he retired as the Meigs Local School District superintendent last year. “The Living Newspaper” GALLIPOLIS — Local law enforcement officials are attempting to locate a man that has been reported missing since Friday.

Jorma and wife Vanessa �Tuesday, May 17, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Opening of floodgates empties many Cajun towns BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS BUTTE LAROSE, La. — Cajun-country towns in the path of Mississippi River floodwaters were all but deserted Monday as residents heeded warnings to seek higher ground after a major floodgate was opened for the first time in four decades. Sheriff’s deputies and National Guardsmen have been showing up at residents’ front doors and telling them to leave since the Morganza spillway was opened Saturday to divert the bulging Mississippi’s water away from the heavily populated cities of Baton Rouge and New Orleans. On Monday, 75-yearold Leif Montin watched a truck tow away a storage pod containing most of the furniture he and his wife have in their home in Butte Larose, a community emptied by residents fleeing the rising waters. “I guess you guys are ready to get out of here,” the driver said to Montin. “Yep. Pretty much,” responded Montin, who plans to spend a few more nights in the house or a nearby camp before leaving town. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama flew to Memphis, Tenn., on Monday and met with families affected when the river flooded there as well as local officials, first responders and volunteers. Days ago, many of the towns in Cajun country bustled with activity as people filled sandbags and cleared out belongings. By Monday, areas were virtually empty as the water from the Mississippi River, swollen by snowmelt and heavy rains, slowly rolled across the Atchafalaya River basin. A hand-painted sign in front a deserted Butte Larose home said it all: “My slice of heaven forceflooded straight to hell. God help us all.” The floodwaters could reach depths of 20 feet in the coming weeks, though levels were nowhere close to that yet in Butte Larose and nearby towns that lie about 50 miles downstream of the Morganza. Water hadn’t reached Montin’s home, but a canal behind it has been rising by about a foot a day since the Morganza was opened. He’s trying to remain optimistic that his house won’t take on too much damage. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” he said. Elsewhere, in an effort to keep a major shipping connection between the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River open, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers moved in a fifth dredge to dig sediment out of the Southwest Pass. A high river brings a huge amount of sediment and the dredges were being used to keep the 45-foot channel needed for deepdraft shipping. Over the weekend, the Port of New Orleans said it had been told by the Coast Guard that shipping probably would continue largely unhindered on the lower Mississippi. About 30 miles north of Butte Larose in the town of Melville, Mary Ryder, her fiance and her fiance’s father were loading up a trailer Sunday with as many belongings as they could fit to drive over the levee to stay with relatives on the other side of town. Ryder lives in a mandatory evacuation area, where water is starting to creep into backyards. They worried about what might happen if a broader evacuation is ordered. “They say we have to leave town. We have nowhere to go,” she said. “What are we going to do? I have no idea. We need help up here.” The spillway’s opening diverted water from the two major Louisiana cities — along with chemical plants and oil refineries along the Mississippi’s lower reaches — easing pressure on the levees there in the hope of avoiding potentially catastrophic floods. That choice angers John Muse, who drove from Lafayette to Melville to help his 86-year-old father-in-law Clovis Cole move his belongs. He said officials seem to be pay- ing more attention to the concerns of Baton Rouge and New Orleans than people who live in the basin. “They hurt a lot of feelings by putting that water in here like they did,” he said. “What’s happening here, I’ll tell ya, it’s not fair.” It will be at least a week before the Mississippi River crest arrives at the Morganza spillway, where officials opened two massive gates on Saturday and another two Sunday. There are 125 in all. The Mississippi has broken river-level records that had held since the 1920s in some places. The Morganza was last opened in 1973. The Army Corps of Engineers has taken drastic steps to prevent flooding. Engineers blew up a levee in Missouri — inundating an estimated 200 square miles of farmland and damaging or destroying about 100 homes — to take the pressure off floodwalls protecting the town of Cairo, Ill., population 2,800. The Morganza flooding is more controlled, however, and residents are warned each year that the spillway could be opened. A spillway at the 7,000foot Bonnet Carre structure in Louisiana also has been opened. It seemed animals didn’t want to be stuck anywhere: Deer, hogs and rabbits have started running from the water flowing near the floodgates, said Lt. Col. Joey Broussard of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. An electronic sign on Interstate 10 warned of a possible animal exodus: “Wildlife crossing possible. Use caution,” it read. Despite the mandatory evacuation order, Krotz Springs town clerk Suzanne Bellau said it was unlikely the sheriff’s office would force people to leave. For most, the worst part was wondering what may happen. National Guardsmen were building a second levee to bolster protection for the town. Trump says no to presidential run BY BETH FOUHY AND DAVID BAUDER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — After months of flirting with politics, Donald Trump said Monday he won’t run for president, choosing to stick with hosting “The Celebrity Apprentice” over a bid for the Republican nomination. The reality TV star and real estate mogul made his announcement at a Manhattan hotel as NBC, which airs his show, rolled out its fall lineup. “I will not be running for president as much as I’d like to,” Trump said. Trump’s office released a formal statement just as he was taking the stage. In it, a confident Trump said he felt he could win the Republican primary and beat President Barack Obama in the general election but had come to realize a presidential campaign could not be run half-heartedly. “Ultimately, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector,” Trump said. Several Republicans are seeking the nomination in a race that lacks a clear front-runner. Among the top hopefuls are former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. The GOP is still waiting to hear whether Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin or Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann will get in the race. Trump has floated the idea of a presidential candidacy in both 1988 and 2000 but claimed he was more serious than ever this time, citing the weak economy and the sense that the United States was in decline. Some public opinion polls showed him leading the slow-to-coalesce Republican field. In the past few months, he delivered speeches to national GOP groups and traveled to early primary states like New Hampshire and Nevada. During that time, he reignited the so-called “birther” controversy by perpetuating falsehoods about Obama’s birth place, insisting that questions were unanswered about whether the president was born in Hawaii. He amassed admiration from many on the far right who have insisted Obama was born overseas and, thus, wasn’t eligible to serve as president. Obama finally distributed his long-form birth certificate earlier this month, indirectly casting Trump as a carnival barker and the controversy as a sideshow. Trump took credit for the release even though it robbed his candidacy of its signature issue. Obama retaliated days later in his monologue at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, where he poked fun at the birth certificate controversy and mocked Trump and his television show. A stonefaced Trump heard the barbs from both Obama and comedian Seth Meyers. A day later, NBC interrupted the airing of Trump’s show with word of an Obama announcement — within 45 minutes the president informed the nation and the world that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had been killed. Whatever buzz over a Trump candidacy was left fully faded. Trump would have brought to the race both celebrity and the noholds-barred criticism of Obama that many Republicans are hungry for in a GOP nominee. But, as it has for months, Trump’s participation also could have made the GOP nomination fight a less serious affair, seeming small by comparison to Obama and his presidency. Trump is the second Republican in a matter of days to say no to a bid for the GOP nomination. Mike Huckabee announced Saturday that he wouldn’t seek the presidency. At the Hilton hotel in New York, NBC said that “The Celebrity Apprentice” would be coming back in midseason. But Bob Greenblatt, the head of NBC entertainment, said the only mystery would be whether Trump was host. Trump said the show has made a lot of money for charity and that he wanted to continue as host. Obama tell Memphis students their success inspires BY JIM KUHNHENN ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rewarded with the president of the United States as their commencement speaker, the graduating seniors at Booker T. Washington High School got the same advice a young Barack Obama once got himself: Keep pushing. “You’ve always been underdogs,” the president told the cheering students, clad in green and yellow gowns, from a school where academic scores and graduation rates have soared despite tough conditions in the community. “Nobody’s handed you a thing. But that also means that whatever you accomplish in your life, you’ll have earned it,” Obama said. The high school won a national competition, and Obama’s presence, thanks to its hard-fought academic turnaround. The school is in a gritty south Memphis community where many of its students live in tough neighborhoods beset by crime, drug addiction, teenage pregnancy and untreated mental illness. A majority of the students are poor, and some are homeless. Obama told the smiling seniors: “You’ve shown more grit and determination in your childhoods than a lot of adults ever will.” The president personalized his graduation message, reminding the students his father left home when he was 2 and his mom raised him amid economic struggles. He said his mother and his grandparents stayed on him to excel. “I’m lucky they kept pushing,” Obama said. “I’m lucky my teachers kept pushing. Because education made all the difference in my life. And it’s going to make an even greater difference in your lives.” After putting in place educational innovations and adding variety to its curriculum, the Memphis high school saw its graduation rate jump from 55 percent in 2007 to nearly 82 percent in 2010. Changes at the school include separate freshmen academies for boys and girls and a greater choice of advanced placement classes. Obama said the whole culture of the school has changed to one of caring and learning. “That’s why I came here today,” he said. “Because if success can happen here at Booker T. Washington, it can happen anywhere in Memphis. And if it can happen in Memphis, it can happen anywhere in Tennessee. And if can happen anywhere in Tennessee, it can happen all across America.” Obama seemed to enjoy the moment as much as the students. He said he always treasures commencement ceremonies, but “this one is especially hopeful.” And he thanked the students for inspiring him as president. Obama spoke after privately offering comfort to Memphis area families affected by the Mississippi River’s flooding; his trip had been scheduled before the flooding occurred. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama met with the flood victims, local officials and first responders for about 35 minutes. Nanny Williams, an unemployed mother living with her daughter and granddaughter, described being flooded out of her house, forcing her family into a community shelter, Carney said. Another woman, Rose Hunt, told the president that prayer spared her house which became a refuge for her son, who had to abandon his home. Snow melt and rain that have sent a torrent of water down the Mississippi, topping levees and forcing flooding along its path. The river crested at Memphis last week, just inches short of the record set in 1937. Some low-lying neighborhoods were inundated, but the city’s high levees protected much of the rest of Memphis. IMF chief to remain jailed in NYC sex-assault case BY JENNIFER PELTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The head of the International Monetary Fund must remain jailed at least until Friday, the day of his next court hearing for attempted rape and other charges, a judge ruled Monday. A haggard, unshaven and grim-looking Dominique StraussKahn, his forehead furrowed beneath a slash of silver hair, made his first court appearance in the sex-assault case. Appearing before the Manhattan judge Monday, he slumped at the defense table in a dark raincoat and open-collared shirt. Strauss-Kahn is accused of attacking a maid who went in to clean his penthouse suite Saturday at a luxury hotel near Times Square. He is charged with attempted rape, sex abuse, a criminal sex act, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching. The top count is punishable by five to 25 years in prison. “This battle has just begun,” defense attorney Benjamin Brafman told scores of reporters gathered outside the courthouse. “Mr. Strauss-Kahn is innocent of these charges.” The charges stunned the global financial world and upended French presidential politics. StraussKahn, a member of France’s Socialist party, was widely considered the strongest potential challenger next year to President Nicolas Sarkozy. Manhattan prosecutors asked the judge to hold Strauss-Kahn without bail, saying his position as IMF head had taken him out of the country previously and that the IMF leader was wealthy and doesn’t live in New York. “He has almost no incentive to stay in this country and every incentive to leave,” Assistant District Attorney John A. McConnell said. “If he went to France, we would have no legal mechanism to guarantee his return to this country.” Defense attorneys had suggested bail be set at $1 million and promised the IMF managing director would remain in New York City. The 32-year-old maid told authorities that when she entered his spacious, $3,000-a-night suite early Saturday afternoon, she thought it was unoccupied. Instead, StraussKahn emerged from the bathroom naked, chased her down a hallway and pulled her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her, New York Police Department spokesman Paul J. Browne said. The woman told police she fought him off, but then he dragged her into the bathroom, where he forced her to perform oral sex on him and tried to remove her pantyhose. The woman was able to break free again, escaped the room and told hotel staff what had happened, authorities said. Strauss-Kahn was gone by the time detectives arrived moments later. He left his cellphone behind. The NYPD discovered he was at John F. Kennedy International Airport and contacted officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport. Port Authority police officers arrested him. The maid was taken by police to a hospital and was treated for minor injuries. Meanwhile, the lawyer for a 31-year-old French novelist said she was likely to file a criminal complaint accusing Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her nine years ago. A rival lawmaker also alleged, without offering evidence, that the potential French Socialist presidential candidate had victimized several maids during past stays at the luxury Sofitel hotel near Times Square. McConnell, the prosecutor, said in court Monday that New York authorities are investigating at least one other case of “conduct similar to the conduct alleged” at the Sofitel. French viewers were stunned by the weekend images of the handcuffed Strauss-Kahn ducking stone-faced into a police car. In France, public figures are usually shielded from view in such circumstances. The chief of Sarkozy’s conservative party, JeanFrancois Cope, said he told the president that he asked fellow party members to “proceed with caution and restraint” in their comments, and Sarkozy supported the idea. �The Daily Sentinel Page 3 BY THE BEND Tuesday, May 17, 2011 Ohio VFW supervisor to keynote Memorial Day festivities Daughters of America 1868 at Arlington Unknown Soldier.

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day as a national holiday to be observed on the last Monday of May. However, there are still many southern states that have an additional and separate day to honor their Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas; the fourth Monday in April in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in North and South Carolina; and June 3 in Louisiana and Tennessee. Since its beginnings in 1868, Memorial Day has grown to encompass honoring all those who died. Many families now observe Memorial Day by not only honoring the sacrifices of the nation’s war dead, but also by remembering and honoring their own departed loved ones. False alarms cost sheriff big bucks Public hearing regarding proposed fees set for June 2 BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS —“It’s just the times that we’re in. It’s just hard to ask your taxpayer to be responsible for checking somebody’s private alarm constantly,” Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning stated during a regular meeting of the Gallia County Board of Commissioners on May 12. “If there’s trouble there, then, certainly, we need to go there, but, if it’s just something where we are just going there over and over again, at some point, that alarm company or that property owner should help us reimburse those costs.” According to Browning, county officials are considering implementing a fee system whereby residents and/or businesses with perpetual false alarms will be charged fees following their fourth false alarm. According to Browning, approximately 250 false alarm calls were dispatched through the Gallia County 911 Center between Jan. 1, 2011, and April 15, 2011. Many of these false alarms stem from automated, and often individually installed, alarm systems which notify local emergency officials when activated. Browning reported that the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office recently implemented a fee sys- tem and the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office is considering following suit, largely due to fuel costs. “We’re about $15,000 more this time this year than what we were last year on our fuel bill,” Browning said. “We were at $20,000 for fuel last year and this year we’re up to $35,000.” The fee system, if implemented, would charge $50 for the fourth false alarm, $100 for the fifth false alarm and $150 per false alarm thereafter, at any one location. “I know it’s not going to save the fuel budget but we could recoup some of our losses and, at the same time, encourage folks to maintain those systems they’ve installed,” Browning said and further indicated that a significant number of businesses and/or residences recently have had more than four false alarm calls. “The intention is not to discourage alarm systems, it is probably a good thing, but we want them to maintain them,” Browning said. The county commission recommended that a public hearing be held on this matter at 11 a.m, Thursday, June 2 in the commission chambers at the Gallia County Courthouse. The commissioners encouraged the public to attend the meeting to express their opinions for or against the implementation of false alarm fees.

It’s not that they dislike the individual candidates. They just give them a collective shrug as possible opponents for President Barack Obama. They’d like someone with a little more pizazz. Some 45 percent now say they’re dissatisfied with the GOP candidates who have declared or are thought to be serious about running, up from 33 percent two months ago, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Just 41 percent are satisfied with the likely Republican field, down from 52 percent. Plenty are holding out for somebody else. In North Carolina, retiree Robert Osborne is hoping New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will decide to run. In Indiana, farmer Brent Smith wishes Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour hadn’t backed away. In Georgia, stock clerk Susan Demarest would love to see somebody more like Ronald Reagan. Ohio’s William Johnson just wants somebody who’s not a “cold fish.” “I don’t expect them to get up there and start doing karaoke, but we need somebody with a little more spunk,” says the Columbus steelworker. While the Republican roster of candidates is growing almost by the day — Ron Paul declared on Friday, and Mike Huckabee says he’ll make an important announcement this weekend — satisfaction with the field appears to be shrinking. Future polling could give a better idea of whether the dramatic raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, which gave a boost to Obama’s approval rating, also served to dampen enthusi- asm temporarily for Republican candidates. The poll was conducted May 5-9 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and C o r p o r a t e Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,001 adults nationwide and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. The survey included 378 Republicans, and that subset had a larger, 6.9 percentage point margin of error. Four years ago at this time, there was a clearly different dynamic for the GOP. In late May 2007, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found Republicans generally content with their choices: 68 percent said they were satisfied with “the choice of candidates for the Republican nomination for president,” though that was well below the 79 percent level of satisfaction among Democrats. So far this year, it looks like a case of GOP buyer’s remorse before all the merchandise is even out on the shelves. Lori Raney, who owns a drapery workroom in Canton, Ga., says she’s sure to vote for the party’s eventual nominee. But so far, she says, no standout candidate has emerged. She’d be happy to vote for somebody with a level head, but says a lot of voters demand something more. “Nowadays, people don’t really care about qualifications and common sense,” she says. “They want the celebrity figure to run for president. Republicans just don’t have the celebrity-type figure.” Smith, the farmer from Zionsville, Ind., sees some good choices in the field and hopes that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gets the nomination. But he confesses, “In truth, I don’t think there’s a Republican out there” who can beat Obama, because of the president’s The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Candidate by candidate, Republicans display widely varying impressions of those who are in the GOP race or thinking about joining. With the field still gelling, a number of potential candidates are so little known that many Republicans can’t venture an opinion. Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, who is viewed favorably by 72 percent of Republicans, has the highest rating of the lot. He’s thinking about running and said Friday he planned a “very important” announcement on his TV show this weekend. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008, is viewed favorably by twothirds of Republicans, as is Romney, who made a strong bid for the presidential nomination last time. Romney has all but announced this time; Palin is more of a question mark. Palin’s support has held steady among Republicans in recent months, but her unfavorable rating among all adults is at a new high of 59 percent. Just 36 percent of Americans overall have a favorable opinion of her. Romney’s favorability rating among Republicans has actually improved since March, growing from 59 percent to 66 percent. The only other major Republican with a favorability rating above 50 percent in the poll was former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who didn’t enter the presidential race until the week after the poll was conducted. His favorability rating was 61 percent. Businessman-TV celebrity Donald Trump was the only potential candidate to draw unfavorable reviews from half of Republicans. Forty-five percent viewed him favorably compared to 50 percent who rated him unfavorably. BY CALVIN WOODWARD ASSOCIATED PRESS Surrounded by the din of his multiple families within walls that were both his sanctuary and prison, Osama bin Laden pecked endlessly at a computer, issuing directives to his scattered and troubled terrorist empire. It’s not clear who really listened. Go big, he told al-Qaida operatives and affiliates. They mostly went small. The latest intelligence from the wealth of material found at bin Laden’s last hideout paints a complicated picture of the fugitive, both deeply engaged in his life’s violent mission and somewhat out to pasture. Inside the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound, he kept busy scheming plots, rehearsed and recorded propaganda and dispatched couriers to distant Internet cafes to conduct his email traffic, using computer flash drives to relay messages he would write and store from his shabby office. He dyed his gray beard black to keep up appearances for the videos. To U.S. officials, who possess bin Laden’s handwritten personal journal as well as an enormous cache of his digital documents, the still-unfolding discoveries show he was more involved in trying to plan al-Qaida’s post-911 operations than they had thought possible for a man in perpetual hiding. Even so, he was disconnected from his organization in real time, lacking phones or the Internet at his hideout and with loyalists hunted at every turn. Essential elements of a command and control function from Abbottabad appear to be missing. Among the items found was an unreleased audiotape, recorded about a week before the raid, in which bin Laden praises those who rebelled in the “Arab spring,” referring to Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution revolts in the Mideast and North Africa, a U.S. official says. But bin Laden only mentions Egypt and Tunisia, though he would have been aware through news broadcasts on his cable TV feed of the uprisings in Libya, Syria, and the Gulf state Bahrain, the official noted, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence. Another discovered video shows bin Laden channel surfing with a tiny TV while wrapped in a wool blanket, wearing a knit cap and looking anything but content. Toward its own propaganda ends, the U.S. released selective excerpts of these odd home movies, choosing clips that only show the Prince of jihad in an unflattering, even pathetic, light. For a man working from home, there seemed to be many distractions. The U.S. raiders who killed him, a grown son and others May 2 encountered 23 children and nine women on the grounds of the three-story complex behind walls stained with mold, including three of his wives, officials said afterward. The U.S. has questioned those widows, the Pentagon said Friday without revealing if anything was learned. U.S. officials also said the raiders found a collection of pornography in the materials they confiscated but it was not clear who owned it or had seen it. The compound is hardly the plush redoubt U.S. officials described in the immediate aftermath of the Navy SEALs assault. Yet the Saudi son of privilege, who long ago renounced wealth and creature comforts, had lived in far more Spartan circumstances even if he was not quite the cave-dweller of Western lore. As bizarre as it might be to know he spent his last months surrounded by children, any thought of domestic tranquility is probably a stretch. This was a man who forced his family to live without air conditioning or a refrigerator in stifling heat in pre-terrorist days, who beat them and let his fighters experiment on their pets with poison gas, and made his family dig and sleep in ditches on a desert camping trip, according to a son and another wife who collaborated on the book “Growing Up Bin Laden.” Such a harsh disposition with family was disputed by Ahmed Abdel-Fatah alSada, a father-in-law, who told The Associated Press in Yemen that bin Laden was a “kind and noble” man, “easygoing and modest, giving you the feeling that he was sincere.” AlSada’s daughter, Amal, 29, was shot in the leg during the raid as she rushed the Navy SEALs, U.S. officials said. There is no dispute that bin Laden spent time in his lair dreaming up ways to kill Americans in great numbers again, for the terrorist believed that only mass casualties could move U.S. policy. Communicating both with his core group and al-Qaida affiliates, he advised plots against cities spared on Sept. 11, 2001, such as Los Angeles, and wanted to explore attacking trains. Whatever the target, he sought a body count of thousands, the records indicate. But not everyone was marching to his drum. The Yemen branch of alQaida, which now overshadows bin Laden’s central operation as the organization’s top money-raising, propaganda and operational arm, has embraced the smaller-scale attacks that bin Laden thought were unsuccessful. Others in the network, too, have urged the likeminded to kill Americans wherever and however they can, without coordination or elaborate planning.

Supporters of the legislation as passed claim it will help balance a tight state budget. Organizers have been concentrating on collecting valid signatures from at least three percent of the voters who turned out in the 2010 November election. June 30 is the deadline, and efforts have been stepped up in rural counties, like Athens, Vinton and Meigs. Petitions for voters in the two neighboring counties were also available to sign at the Pomeroy event. “The drive was a great success,” said Liz Shaw, one of the workers collecting signatures Saturday. Shaw said 252 signatures were collected in six hours from the gazebo in the Pomeroy parking lot, where information and promotional materials were also displayed. Volunteers from six labor unions were also working Saturday. Dog Shelter From Page A1 photos of adoptable dogs on petfinder.com and keep the photos fresh to give the dogs every opportunity to find a forever home. The shelter has been using Petfinder.com for a few years but with little help and not many volunteers it’s been tough to keep the website current but Miller, along with Meigs Dog Warden Tom Proffitt, hope to change this and get some dogs adopted in the process. Petfinder.com is so accessible these days, it can even be accessed through its iphone application. The website is free to the shelter and users. Currently, those surfing the Internet in search of a local pooch, will find both mixed and pure breed dogs at the shelter, including a Chihuahua and Basenji. One of the dogs who has been at the shelter the longest is Buddy, a male, terrier/beagle mix estimated to be twothree years old. Buddy is described as energetic, a quick thinker and responsive to affection and commands. Unfortunately, Buddy has been waiting at the shelter for nearly two months and is desperate to find a forever home. There’s also Dart, a fox terrier mix who is described by workers as “gorgeous,” very docile and timid - in short, he’s in need of some love and security. Proffitt also works with no-kill rescues to place as many dogs as possible but it seems like a never-ending job with drop offs of new dogs and puppies becoming a daily occurrence. Petfinder.com is another tool to help Proffitt and staff save as many lives as possible. Shelter hours are 8:30 a.m.-11 a.m., MondaySaturday. Adoption costs are $21, plus the cost of a dog tag if you live in Meigs County, which is $6 for a new dog over three months. Call 992-3779 for more information or to make an appointment to see a dog.

Pet nuisance law reminder Mad River From Page A1 Eastern The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Roosevelt’s election as president and his plan to address the issues of hunger, insecurity and joblessness known as The New Deal. It was during that time period that the Social Security system as we know it today was established. It also saw the inception of programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) that employed young men to go out into rural and woodland areas of the country doing outdoor work of all kinds. The stories and songs in the play reflect on the issues of the Great Depression and the tension and hardship of those times bringing to the students a living history lesson on how life was in the 1930s, and President Roosevelt’s stimulus program called the WPA resulting in construction of many public buildings, roads, community parks and bridges. while also operating relief stations that distributed food, clothing and housing to the needy. It also offered a literary and cultural arts program and today the Dubbed Mad River Theater is a fictional assemblage of the theater company which operated as part of the WPA. As a part of the program presented to the Meigs students there was a pre-show discussion on the Great Depression and afterwards a discussion on what might work in today’s economy. The students were encouraged to pretend they were reporters and to write a report of what they remembered about “The Living Newspaper” production by the Mad River Players.

S. Congress funding the schools of choice for Washington D. C. children. Joyce Adams, events chairperson, listed several summer events in which the Tea Party will participate.

A 26-year teacher at his alma mater, Derrow also served as the athletic director and as golf coach at Wellston previously in his career. Derrow had also served as the Rockets’ varsity baseball coach for the past five seasons. Funeral arrangements are being handled by McWilliams Funeral Home of Wellston.

Tornadoes topple Whiteoak, 15-5 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite replacing s e v e n starters from a year ago, the Southern baseball program Johnson picked up its ninth consecutive district tournament w i n Sunday afternoon following a 1 5 - 5 mercy-rule Taylor decision o v e r Whiteoak in a Division IV district semifinal at Paint Stadium in Ross County. The top-seeded Tornadoes (16-5) — who have appeared in the regional tournament the previous four postseasons — will be making their fifth consecutive appearance in the D-4 district championship game on Friday at 5 p.m. Southern will take on second-seeded Green at Paint Stadium after the Bobcats defeated Ironton St. Joe in Game 2 Sunday by a 6-0 count. T.J. McCloud no-hit the Flyers as Green advanced to its second consecutive district championship game. For a program with only three seniors and six varsity returnees from last year’s regional runner-up squad, ninth-year SHS skipper Ryan Lemley was particularly proud of Sunday’s outcome — given the constant downpour of rain. “I’m really happy with their effort and the character they showed today, especially with the weather being what it was,” Lemley said. “We were down 3-0 and could have gotten really aggressive with the bats and drifted away from what we wanted to do, but we stayed disciplined and ran the course and eventually did what we wanted to do. “I think it speaks volumes that we responded with something, then took the lead and then kept putting the pressure on.” The fourth-seeded Wildcats (16-11) actually struck the first blow, plat- Southern second baseman Ethan Martin (4) releases a throw to first base as Whiteoak’s Gage Carraher (12) approaches during a double play attempt in the third inning of Sunday’s Division IV distrcit semifinal baseball game at Paint Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. ing three runs in the top of the second for an early 3-0 edge. Back-to-back two-out walks to Tyler Williams and Wesley Stratton turned disastrous after David Deer hit a right-center field gapper that turned into an insidethe-park homerun in the elements. The Tornadoes, however, retaliated by sending 11 hitters to the plate in their half of the second — which resulted in five runs from four hits, two walks, two errors and hitbatsman. Eric Buzzard drove in two runs with a triple and Adam Warden brought in a run with a sacrifice fly, while errors allowed the two other scores to come home for a 5-3 SHS advantage. Southern also faced two pitchers in the inning and left the bases loaded. Whiteoak responded with a run in the third to pull within 5-4, but never came closer the rest of the way. The Purple and Gold retaliated by sending 14 batters to the plate in their half of the third, which yielded eight runs on four hits, three walks, three errors and two hitbatsmen. Buzzard and Warden again drove in a run apiece in the frame, while Ryan Taylor added an RBI single. Errors and walks allowed the other five runs to come plateward as Southern led 134 after three complete. SHS also left the bases loaded at the end of the third inning and had stranded eight baserunners through three frames. Whiteoak went scoreless in the fourth, then SHS plated two insurance runs in its half of the fourth to take a 15-4 cushion after four complete. Marcus Hill drove in one run with a sacrifice groundout, while Hunter Johnson brought in the other score with a twoout double. The Wildcats made a late rally bid in the fifth after scoring once and getting another runner on safely — which would have extended the game to the bottom of the fifth — but Ryan Taylor struck out Jesse Bradds to wrap up the mercyrule decision. Southern outhit the guests by a 10-4 margin and also committed only one error in the contest, compared to five by the Wildcats. SHS left nine runners on base, while Whiteoak stranded only three. The Tornadoes also turned two double-plays in the triumph. The Tornadoes were very opportunistic in taking advantage of scoring situations — particularly the five WHS miscues. That was something that Coach Lemley addressed afterwards. “We like putting pressure on defenses. Our speed forces teams to make plays in the field and maybe commit a few Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news beneficial mistakes along the way,” Lemley said. “I thought we did that real well today, at least in the two big innings anyway.” Danny Ramthun was the winning pitcher of record, allowing four runs, four hits and six walks over four innings while striking out five. Taylor fanned three, walked two and gave up one run in an inning of relief work. Three Whiteoak pitchers combined to surrender 15 runs, 10 hits, seven walks and three hit batters over four innings while striking out three. WHS starter Luke Taggert took the loss after working 1.2 innings on the mound. Johnson, Taylor and Buzzard led the hosts with two hits apiece, followed by Warden, Ramthun, Martin and Daniel Jenkins with one safety each. Buzzard had a team-best four RBIs, while Johnson and Custer each scored three times in the victory. Taggert led Whiteoak with two hits, followed by Deer and Mike Carraher with one safety each. Deer drove in three runs and Taggert had two RBIs.

Former Reds COO John Allen to assist with Dodgers NEW YORK (AP) — Former Cincinnati Reds chief operating officer John Allen will assist Tom Schieffer in monitoring the Los Angeles Dodgers for Major League Baseball. Allen was hired Monday and replaces former San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates executive Dick Freeman. Freeman was selected last week and removed the same day after it was discovered he was a paid consultant last year to the ex-wife of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt. Allen became the Reds’ controller in 1995 and managing executive a year later. He was chief operating officer from 1999-07. He presided over the construction of Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. In 1996, he was acting owner for 60 days when Marge Schott was suspended for the second time for inflammatory comments. �Tuesday, May 17, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A10 www.mydailysentinel.com Sarah Hawley/file photo The Eastern Lady Eagles softball team, pictured here in a preseason team photo, won their third straight sectional championship on Saturday afternoon against Symmes Valley.

How about by coming back less than 24 hours later on the same field and winning a sectional championship 4-0 behind another sterling no-hit game by junior Heather Ward? The no-hitter capped the end of a perfect season at the Bob Eastman Sports Complex. Ward also pitched a no hitter in the first ever game played at the facility; a 14-0 five inning gem over Chesapeake on March 29. Now as the Blue Angels tournament trail takes them to neutral sites for the rest of the season, what better way to conclude a perfect 13-0 home mark than to book end another “nono?” GAHS, 22-1 and ranked 8th in the state of Ohio in the latest coach’s poll now awaits the winner of Logan Elm-Sheridan in a district semi-final to be played at Unioto High School outside of Chillicothe on Tuesday at 4:30 pm. The LESheridan game that started on Saturday was suspended in the third inning with LE up 2-0 and will be completed, weather permitting, on Monday. The Blue Angels had beaten the Lady Marauders (11-6) twice in the regular season, but both of those games were played prior to April 9 and in fact Meigs only lost three more games after that, including winning the TVC Ohio division outright. Lisa Marie Wise got the starting nod in the circle for coach Steve Wood’s squad, and she indeed pitched well enough to win most of the time. She allowed 4 runs, but only 2 were earned as her team committed four errors in the field behind her. She struck out 7 and walked no one. Ward, 19-0 on the season, was pitching on consecutive days and she was near perfect. The only Maroon and Gold base runners came via walks in the second and third innings, and she retired the final 13 batters in order. Only three batted balls left the infield. Hannah Cunningham doubled in the first inning and came around to score on an RBI single off the bat of Courtney Shriver for what proved to be the game winning hit. The fourth inning was the Lady Marauders downfall as GAHS scored twice on only one hit; a lead-off single by Shriver. Mattie Lanham reached on an error, and both came home on the second Meigs error of the inning. The final Blue Angel run scored in the bottom of the fifth when Cunningham led off with a triple and scampered home on a throwing error trying to get her at third. Shriver and Cunningham had two hits each to lead the Blue & White attack with Cunningham’s being a double and triple.
