West Liberty screens pro-gas drilling film Monday

WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. (AP) - West Liberty University is hosting a free public screening of the documentary "FrackNation," a film targeting environmental activists concerned about natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

The screening is 6 p.m. Monday at the Highlands Center. It's sponsored by the school's Center for Economic Philosophy and will be followed by a discussion.

The film follows co-director Phelim McAleer as he challenges environmentalists and they debate the facts as both sides see them.

McAleer claims mainstream media haven't told the full story about drilling and fracking in Appalachia, or focused on people who support it.

"FrackNation" was directed by McAleer, his wife and a colleague, and funded through Kickstarter.

It's at least the third film focused on gas drilling, joining the HBO documentary "Gasland" and the Matt Damon movie "Promised Land."

Liberty Wins, Virginia Tech Loses on the Diamond

From Liberty athletics:

LYNCHBURG, Va. After Duke scored three runs in the top of the eighth to take a 3-2 lead, the Liberty Flames answered with two in the bottom of the inning for a 4-3 victory over the Blue Devils, Sunday afternoon at the Liberty Baseball Stadium.

Liberty left fielder Nick Lacik used a 12-pitch at bat to draw a walk to open the home half of the eighth and moved to second on a single through the left side of the infield by center fielder Ryan Cordell. Two batters later, Duke first baseman Chris Marconcini's errant throw in an attempt to retire Cordell at second went into the outfield, allowing Lacik to score and tie the game at 3-3.

Shortstop Dalton Britt was then intentionally walked to load the bases with Flames. Third baseman Jake Kimble followed with a well-executed squeeze play to plate Cordell and give Liberty what proved to be the final score of 4-3.

The Flames move to 27-21 on the season. Liberty has won five out of its last six games. Duke falls to 25-22. It was the first meeting between the two schools on the diamond since 2010.

After a scoreless first four innings, the Flames plated two runs in the fifth for a 2-0 advantage. Outfielder Ashton Perritt beat out an infield single and second baseman Bryan Anderud singled to begin the frame. Catcher Trey Wimmer followed with a single to score Perritt and give Liberty a 1-0 lead. The next batter, Danny Grauer, then lifted a sacrifice fly to bring home Aanderud for a 2-0 edge.

Meanwhile, Liberty right-handers Josh Richardson and Brooks Roy kept the Blue Devils in check, combining to allowed only four hits through the first seven innings.

However, in the top of the eighth, Duke broke through, benefiting from a Liberty error, for three runs. After Roy walked second baseman Anthony Perez to lead off the inning, Perritt came on to pitch for the Flames, promptly retiring the next two Blue Devils.

With two outs, Marconcini reached on a fielding error by Liberty's Britt to keep the frame alive. Designated hitter Aaron Cohn was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. Center fielder Grant McCabe followed with a two-run single, knotting the game at 2-2. McCabe and pinch runner David Perkins then pulled off a double steal, scoring Perkins for a 3-2 advantage and setting up the Liberty eighth.

In the top of the ninth, Perritt retired the Blue Devils in order, sealing the 4-3 win.

CSU Channel Islands students return to campus after fire evacuation

Kelsey Erisman couldnt stop smiling as she stood in her dorm room kitchen surrounded by three of her roommates.

The 19-year-old CSU Channel Islands freshman said she was definitely excited to return to campus. Before she arrived, Erisman said, she didnt know what to expect.

Since shes attended the campus, the hillsides across from her Anacapa Village residence hall have always been green, she said.

I was just in shock driving into school and seeing how burned the hillsides were. Ive experienced fire throughout my life, but its hard when it hits close to home like this, Erisman said.

CSU Channel Islands students were allowed to return to the campus and their dorms by 5 p.m. Sunday, three days after officials evacuated the Camarillo university and the nearby University Glen neighborhood, which were threatened by the Springs fire. The library also was reopened and expected to remain open 24 hours for the rest of the week before final exams next week.

The dormitories were full of activity Sunday afternoon as students rolled their hampers and luggage filled with books and other personal belongings down the hallways between their cars and the dorms. Freshman Sam Vukovich, 19, gently carried his betta fish with two hands and his guitar around his shoulder from his car to his dorm room.

Vukovich said he had just come back from staying with his family in Torrance. As soon as he walked into his dorm he was greeted by two of his roommates. They shared their extended-weekend experiences and the moments leading up to the evacuation.

The good thing about living in a dorm is that you dont really have a lot of sentimental stuff because youve already downsized, freshman Andy Spyrka, 19 said.

Spyrka described the upcoming week as hell week for him as he scrambled to finish his homework and find time to study for final exams.

Some students said they planned to spend their Sunday night doing chores and settling back into their rooms. Others said they couldnt wait to get back on track and begin studying for finals and wrapping up projects and presentations that were stalled because of the evacuation.

Boycott of the Andaman Islands launched

5th May 2013

Tribal civil rights group Survival International is calling on visitors to avoid India's Andaman Islands, as part of a campaign to protect the remote Jarawa tribe

The organisation has written to over 200 travel companies and websites in 11 countries urging them to stop their tours to the Andaman Islands. The move follows years of controversy surrounding the privacy of the indigenous Jarawa tribe.

The dispute centres on a road traversing the Jarawa's inhabited land that has become increasingly popular as a vantage point from which tourists can view and interact with the tribe. Tourists have taken to touring the road, throwing food, and taking photographs of the tribe. In an extreme case last year, video footage emerged showing Jarawa women who had been told to dance in exchange for food.

Survival Internationals Director Stephen Corry said: The Andaman government is arguing that the road is a necessary lifeline for the north of the islands. Its nonsense: in fact theres no reason for the road. The route by boat is faster, more convenient and cheaper for islanders, so providing an alternative sea route is better for locals, tourists, and the Jarawa alike. There will be no end to these degrading human safaris until tourists stop using the road, and well continue the boycott until that happens.

The tribe has inhabited the Andaman Islands officially part of India for several thousand years and, until recently, had little or no contact with the outside world. Today fewer than 400 tribespeople are left. Survival Internationals campaign comes The move comes two months after India reversed a ban on 'human safaris' on the islands. This 'interim order', implemented in January, reduced the number of vehicles entering the Jarawa reserve by around two thirds.

Survival has said it will continue to campaign for a boycott until tourists are banned from the road through the Jarawa forest and an alternative route is put into place. They are also appealing to independent travellers, citing over 200,000 people visit the islands each year, asking them to pledge not to travel to the islands until the demands are met.

Gulf Islands kicks off summer season with a breezy start

AMANDA McCOY/SUN HERALDSarah Justin, 3, gets ready to swim while enjoying a day with her family at Gulf Islands Waterpark on Sunday.

GULFPORT -- Those who ventured to Gulf Islands Waterpark Sunday were welcomed with sunny skies, plenty of available parking spaces and no lines on the waterslides -- the perfect opening day if not for the chilly breeze that kept the less adventurous away.

"At least no one's getting too hot today," said Betty Wallace, who handles marketing for the park. The only other cold start she recalls was the year the park opened on Good Friday.

"This is the first time it's been this chilly in May," she said.

The sun was warm and Marielis Vega of Gulfport said a little chill wasn't going to keep her family from celebrating a birthday at the park.

Jeffrey Justin, his wife Amanda and their three daughters, Chloe, Heather and Sarah, drove over from Louisiana for opening day. The girls, in pink bathing suits and orange life jackets, said they liked the slides the best. Squeals could be heard coming from the Riptide Racer, Horn Island Blaster and Cat Island Catapult slides and the wave pool.

Justin said he went online and compared waterparks before they bought season passes to Gulf Islands. "They had a lot of good rides here," he said.

Season passes are $49.99 through June 7, said Wallace, then go up to $54.99. The price is about the price of two daily tickets, which are $29.99, or $21.99 for those under 42 inches. Children under 2 get in free.

Season passes are good every day of the season, including during special events. Next Sunday staff from Michaels Arts & Crafts will be at the park helping kids make a gift for the moms.
