Rehired on a one-year contract was Samantha Carroll, with Margaret Barr, Carmen Manuel and Rita Simmons being awarded one-year con- tracts on the Meigs Local Teachers Association retire/rehire negotiated contract. Rejected by the board was a one-year contract for David Kight. Non-certified rehires given contracts were bus drivers, Hoby Landers and Charles Sauters, two-year contracts, and Linda Harrison and Bobbi Moleski, continuing contracts; cooks, Tammy Andrus and Laura Graham, two-year contracts, Fonda Young, a continuing contract; mechanics, Russ O’Brien, two-year contract, and William Taylor, continuing contract; and Larry Gibbs, two-year contract as a cus- todian.

Kristin Baer, principal of the primary school, reported completion of student assessments in reading and math and noted that the emphasis now will be on determining the specific areas where there is a need to focus on improve- ment for next year. She reported on success of a welcoming program established this year by Brenda Phalin, which involves a “welcoming crew” in each classroom who serve as mentors for new students. Baer noted that 80 new students have enrolled in the primary school since the beginning of the school year. Darin Logan, intermediate school principal, also reported on student achievement and test results, as did Vicky Jones, Meigs Middle School principal, who noted scheduling of a variety of endof year activities for the students. Principal Steve Ohlinger, of Meigs High School, reviewed activities planned for the remainder of the year including graduation on Friday, May 23, at 8 p.m. In open session, two parents spoke regarding a survey that had been sent to them regarding evaluation of a program. It was noted that the survey is a requirement from a grant provider. Following the open meeting, board members moved into executive session for the purpose of discussing the hiring and compensation of personnel and to discuss disposition or sale of excess school property.

EDITOR: Michael Johnson 740-992-2155 michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com Thursday, April 24, 2014 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Three tricounty students attending Marshall University have been initiated into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Rebecca Stump, of Bidwell, Stacie Cummons, of Crown City, and Courtney Smith, of Mason, W. Va., were initiated into Marshall University’s Chapter. The three area students are among approximately 32,000 students, faculty, pro- fessional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors, having at least 72 semester hours, are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff, and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine and headquartered in Baton Rouge, La., Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society. The Society has chapters on more than 300 college and university campuses in North America and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.” Since its founding, more than 1.25 million members have been initiated. Some of the orga- nization’s more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, novelist David Baldacci and YouTube cofounder Chad Hurley. The Society has awarded approximately $15 million since the inception of its awards program in 1932. Today, $1 million is awarded each biennium to qualifying students and members through graduate fellowships, undergraduate study abroad grants, member and chapter awards and grants for local and national literacy initiatives.

Perez said. “But that’s been the fate of more than 76,000 miners who have died at least in part because of black lung since 1968.” Perez was one of several top government officials to announce the long-awaited final rule Wednesday at an event in Morgantown, W.Va. Black lung is an irre- versible and potentially deadly disease caused by exposure to coal dust, where the dust particles accumulate in the lungs. The rule by the Labor Department’s Mine Safety and Health Administration lowers the overall dust standard from 2.0 to 1.5 milligrams per cubic meter of air. For certain mine entries and miners with black lung disease, the standard is cut in half, from 1.0 to 0.5. The rule also increases the frequency of dust sampling, and requires coal operators to take immediate action when dust levels are high. In addition, coal mine operators will be required to use new technology to provide real-time dust levels. The requirements will be phased in over two years. “It is a major happening in the coal fields,” Joseph A. Main, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health, said in an interview before Wednesday’s event. “And it’s one whose time has really come.” Main, who worked as a coal miner in Pennsylvania and West Virginia for about eight years starting when he was 18, said he made a “personal commitment” to helping to eradicate black lung disease. “I personally know miners who have had the disease and died from the disease — the same as other folks who grew up in coal mining communities,” Main said. The administration first proposed the rule back in 2010, when it said it would fight a resurgence of black lung disease. The Mine Safety and Health Administration held seven public hearings, extended the comment period three times, and got around 2,000 pages of comments. It took 3 ½ years for the rule to be finalized. “We probably all would have liked to move faster, but you’ve got to be careful when you’re getting to regulatory processes like this,” Main said. “Getting it right was very important.” Main and John Howard, the director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, joined Perez at the event in West Virginia. Hal Quinn, president and CEO of the National Mining Association, a trade association, called the rule “a lost opportunity to provide better protection for those who need it and more job security for all our coal miners.” The Mine Safety and Health Administration, Quinn said in a statement, “declined to embrace constructive suggestions and proven solutions to reduce miner’s exposure to respirable coal dust.” Those include the use of proven personal protection technologies; rotating miners to minimize their exposure to coal dust; and requiring miners to participate in X-ray surveillance programs to encourage timely medical intervention, Quinn said. But Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, said Wednesday marked a “truly historic day” for coal miners. “While this is a big step forward, it is by no means the end of our fight to eradicate this scourge of coal miners,” he said, referring to black lung disease. The United Mine Workers of America had no immediate comment on the rule. Ex-Ohio cop freed in killing can stay free for now CINCINNATI (AP) — A former Ohio police captain released after nearly 15 years in prison for his exwife’s killing can remain free as the state’s highest court considers whether to take on his case, the court ruled Wednesday. The Ohio Supreme Court ruling will allow former Akron police Capt. Doug Prade to stay out of jail until at least the summer, when the court is expected to decide whether to consider Prade’s appeal of a lower court’s March ruling. That ruling, by Ohio’s 9th District Court of Appeals in Akron, found that Summit County Judge Judy Hunter was wrong to free Prade in January 2013 based on bite-mark DNA testing. Hunter found that there was convincing evidence of Prade’s innocence based on DNA tests of a bite mark found on the lab coat of Prade’s exwife, Margo Prade. The tests showed the DNA did not match Doug Prade. But the 9th District court said the DNA testing raised more questions than answers and that Prade’s original g n i r p S is Here conviction was based on overwhelming circumstantial evidence. If the Supreme Court takes the case, Prade would remain free as the justices weigh whether to overturn or uphold the 9th District’s ruling. If the court turns down the case, the 9th Circuit’s ruling would stand and Prade would have to go back to jail. Prade’s attorney, David Alden, said the Supreme Court’s decision allowing Prade to remain free “is certainly a positive sign” that the court will take the case. “If they thought we were full of it, they would have said, ‘Put him back in jail,’” Alden said. Summit County prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said in a statement that she appreciates that the court is “carefully considering the questions put before it.” “We maintain that the information presented by the defense that supposedly proves Prade’s innocence is, as stated by the 9th District Court of Appeals’ judgment released last month, ‘Wholly questionable’ and ‘meaning- less,’” she said. “We will continue to seek justice for Dr. Margo Prade and her family.” Prosecutor Richard Kasay argued in a March 26 filing that Prade should be jailed pending his appeal, saying the former officer “has every motive to flee, knowing that he faces re-incarceration for aggravated murder because of the court of appeals decision.” Alden had argued that Prade posed no flight risk, had bought a house in Akron, and was spending time with his children and grandchildren. “Mr. Prade is integrating into society,” Alden wrote in a March 19 filing. “He has a place to live, and he was, is and will be an asset to society.” Prade was convicted in 1998 of shooting his 41-year-old ex-wife, a family practitioner, in her van outside her Akron office. There were no witnesses and no fingerprints, and no gun was found after the November 1997 shooting. Prade is suing current and former police officers over his conviction, claiming he was framed. Douglas Prade, left, walks out of the Summit County Jail in Akron last month. Prade, a former Ohio police captain released after nearly 15 years in prison for his ex-wife’s killing, can remain free as the state’s highest court considers whether to take on his case, the court ruled Wednesday.

Just take Monopoly, a 111-year-old board game that balances the tedium of real estate deals with the giddy joy of plotting to bankrupt your friends and family. A few years ago, board game sales were tanking and the big brains at Hasbro decided to let people vote in a new game token and banish an old standard. So in February 2013, Hasbro announced that the iron was to be discontinued in favor of a cat. This was the moment Monopoly lost its soul. There aren’t enough kitty videos all over the Internet that a feline has to encroach on my holiday kitchen-table diversion? Any bump in revenue Hasbro got from running its contest on Facebook won’t win us traditionalists over. We will make it a point to pass down our cherished “classic” sets so that our great-grandchildren don’t have to learn how to count cash represented by a token driven onto a storied playing field by legions of crazy-cat-lady Facebookers. What precipitated my trip down this particular bitter memory lane? Learning that some leaders in the world of golf are considering promoting alternative (read: easier) forms of play in order to attract new players. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America is in the process of convening an 11-person task force, including PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem and skiing star Bode Miller (and, one hopes, representatives from the U.S. ProMiniGolf Association and the World MiniGolf Sport Federation) to find new ways to get young people to try, and stick with, the game. The National Golf Foundation’s most recent numbers show that America is down to 25.3 million golfers ages 6 and up. That’s down from 30 million in 2005, and the figure is expected to drop to 20 million in a couple of years. At the same time, however, the number of operating golf facilities in the country is not contracting at a similar pace. There now are 15,619 operating golf facilities, down from 16,052 in 2005. There’s no question that something needs to change. There is also little hope that our country will somehow reverse its descent into a hedonistic ethos in which the very thought of spending years perfecting the physicality, technique and mental acuity necessary to play a demanding game like golf become a complete nonstarter. And that’s where think-out-of-the-box ideas such as putting cups 15 inches in diameter, enhanced clubs and “juiced” balls come into play. Anything to attract that segment of society — generally speaking, people under 35 — that thinks the game is too hard and takes too long to play. Is this really what the storied game of golf may come to? It shouldn’t be any surprise. I blame a certain hamburger chain for speeding the degradation of our culture’s character. If you can recall its catchy slogan, it got millions of impressionable young people to believe with all their hearts that it was their birthright to have things their way, “right away.” And so college is no longer the place you go to figure out how to be an adult. Instead, students are being spoon-fed services such as counseling and time-management skills in the hope that they will graduate in six years. Work is no longer a place where employees conform to an employer’s expectations or assignments. Rather, managers are expected to remediate, give emotional support and otherwise tolerate poor performance from workers. Whether it’s carpet-bagging Monopoly cats, duffers who’ll only commit to a few holes if they’re quick and easy, or any of the millions who believe that the world, its structures and customs must conform to their special individual needs on an expedited timeline, the tide is turning against the once-venerated values of tradition, persistence, hard work and patience. Go ahead and dismiss me as a curmudgeon. But mark my words: Next time you catch some standard being lowered, you too will shake your head and note that nothing is sacred anymore. Page 4 Thursday, April 24, 2014 Obamacare didn’t bring on the apocalypse By Eugene Robinson It’s all over but the shouting: Obamacare is working. All the naysaying in the world can’t drown out mounting evidence that the Affordable Care Act, President Obama’s signature domestic achievement, is a real success. Republican candidates running this fall on an anti-Obamacare platform will have to divert voters’ attention from the facts, which tell an increasingly positive story. A new report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that, despite all the problems with the HealthCare. gov website launch, 12 million people who previously lacked insurance will obtain coverage this year. By 2017 — the year Obama leaves office — the CBO predicts that an additional 14 million uninsured will have managed to get coverage. Why was the Affordable Care Act so desperately needed? Because without it, 54 million Americans would presently have no health insurance. Within three years, according to the CBO, Obamacare will have slashed the problem nearly in half. We should do better, and perhaps someday we will. Most industrialized countries have some kind of single-payer system offering truly universal coverage. But if you have to work within the framework of the existing U.S. health care system — which involves private health insurance companies and fee-for-service care — the Affordable Care Act reforms are a tremendous advance. Republicans will continue to mumble vaguely about “private-sector incentives” and “consumer choice” — without acknowledging that the ACA reforms offer plenty of both. And the GOP will continue to bray about “big government health care,” which is an out-and-out lie. Obamacare, to the contrary, will leave the present system basically intact. The CBO predicts that a decade from now, the great majority of non-elderly Americans will still obtain health insurance through their employers — an estimated 159 million, as opposed to 166 million if Obamacare never existed. Only about 25 million people are expected to get coverage through the federal and state health insurance exchanges. Even this coverage, mind you, will be provided by private health insurance companies, not the government. There is no sign that GOP strategists intend to let facts get in the way of their story. After spending so much time and effort trying to make “Obamacare” a synonym for “bogeyman,” Republicans have no graceful way to acknowl- edge that the program is actually a success. All the apocalyptic end-of-freedom rhetoric that we continue to hear from the far right sounds increasingly ridiculous to moderate voters who have no strong party allegiance. But the GOP’s activist base continues to respond with campaign donations and raring-togo enthusiasm — factors that can make the difference in a midterm election when moderate voters often stay home. To do well in the fall, Democrats have to infuse their most loyal voters with similar enthusiasm. The success of Obamacare will help. Already, polls are showing upticks in support for embattled Democratic incumbent senators in Louisiana, Arkansas and Alaska. Democrats control their own destiny in November: If they can get their voters to the polls, they’ll win. In the long run, no matter what happens in the election, I’m more convinced than ever that the Affordable Care Act will be seen as landmark legislation. First, it shifts the incentive structure in the health care industry in ways that promise to hold down rising costs. And second, it establishes the principle that health care should be considered a right, not a privilege. Of course it’s not perfect. It’s a thing of beauty anyway. We have liftoff. It’s working. Lost in space budgeting By Dana Milbank NASA just confirmed what sci-fi enthusiasts have known all along: There are other civilizations out there. This bombshell was dropped Tuesday by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden at the Humans 2 Mars Summit in Foggy Bottom. “Here in the Western world we think very shortsighted,” he explained. “We think about the time in which we’re going to be on this Earth, or which our kids or grandkids are going to be on this Earth. Many other civilizations think muuuuuch longer than that, and we need to start thinking that way.” Many other civilizations! Klingons, Romulans and Vulcans? Bolden, a former astronaut, did not say. But he spoke about being in a race to colonize other worlds before the sun burns out like other stars have. “One of these days that’s going to be the story of our star, The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

So one reason we need to go to Mars is so we can learn a little about living on another planet, so that when Mikaley, my granddaughter, is ready to move out of the solar system we’ll know a lot more about living away from this planet than we know today.” Bolden may not really believe that humans will be traveling beyond the solar system in the next couple of decades when 14-year-old Mikaley will be of spacetraveling age. And, happily, Mikaley needn’t book her ticket just yet because scientists expect the sun to be around another 5 billion years, give or take. But listening to Bolden and other NASA officials at the Mars summit (platinum sponsor: Boeing; gold sponsor: Lockheed Martin), I wondered if their ambitions were proceeding at warp speed relative to realities here on Earth. President Obama revived the languishing field of human space flight, proposing to put humans on an The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Michael Johnson Content Manager asteroid in 2025 and on Mars in the 2030s. The administration extended the life of the International Space Station to serve as “our steppingstone to the rest of the cosmos,” as Bolden put it. That sounds really cool. But it may be a colossal waste of money. Budget realities require a modest approach to human space exploration. Even NASA officials admit humans won’t reach Mars at current funding levels, and it’s difficult to see where extra money will come from in an age of shrinking budgets. Meanwhile, there’s a compelling argument that we could accomplish more with a less expensive strategy of unmanned exploration. The Congressional Budget Office said last fall that eliminating NASA’s human space exploration program (but leaving robotic exploration intact) would save $73 billion over a decade. The CBO noted that “increased capabilities in electronics and information technology have generally reduced the need for humans to fly space missions. The scientific instruments used to gather knowledge in space rely much less (or not at all) on nearby humans to operate them.” I asked Bolden about the CBO report. He said that robots can’t “reason and make logical decisions about alternative courses” the way humans can, and he pointed out that “if the ultimate goal is to make humans multi-planet species, then you’ve got to do it at some point.” That’s true. But our current trajectory won’t get us there anyway; estimates of the cost of a human trip to Mars run into the hundreds of billions. “We’re going to have to figure out ingenious ways to do it based on the present budget plus modest increases,” Bolden said at the summit. Or maybe more than modest. William Gerstenmaier, NASA’s associate administrator for human exploration, told the same audience of the need to “break the paradigm” of current funding. “We cannot do it at the same budget level we’re at today. It’s just not going to work.” Bolden said he would “get down on my hands and knees and beg and plead” with Congress to support human space exploration. But begging does not a Mars mission make, particularly when NASA can arguably do more with unmanned exploration. The crafts are lighter and easier to land, there are no worries about life support, and no need for a return trip. And robots don’t get cancer or radiation poisoning. Gerstenmaier said that NASA asked the Institute of Medicine “to take a look at our current standards for radiation exposure limits on astronauts” to see if it might be “ethically acceptable” to raise the limits. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to recognize that if you’re weighing shortcuts like that, something may be wrong with your mission plan. �Thursday, April 24, 2014 The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 www.mydailysentinel.com Michigan man among 1st in US to get ‘bionic eye’ (AP Photo) In this video image, Dr. Naheed Khan, right, works with Roger Pontz, left, on an exercise to test how well he sees shapes on a computer screen at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. Pontz suffers from a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa and is the second patient in the U.S. to surgically receive a bionic eye since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration signed off on its use last year. The facility in Ann Arbor has been the site of all four such surgeries since FDA approval. A fifth is scheduled for next month. Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited disease that causes slow but progressive vision loss due to a gradual loss of the light-sensitive retinal cells called rods and cones. Patients experience loss of side vision and night vision, then central vision, which can result in near blindness. Not all of the 100,000 or so people in the U.S. with retinitis pigmentosa can benefit from the bionic eye. An estimated 10,000 have vision low enough, said Dr. Brian Mech, an executive with Second Sight Medical Products Inc., the Sylmar, Calif.-based company that makes the device. Of those, about 7,500 are eligible for the surgery. The artificial implant in Pontz’s left eye is part of a system developed by Second Sight that includes a small video camera and transmitter housed in a pair of glasses. Images from the camera are converted into a series of electrical pulses that are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes on the surface of the retina. The pulses stimulate the retina’s remaining healthy cells, causing them to relay the THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Euromaxx Highlights NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 signal to the optic nerve. The visual information then moves to the brain, where it is translated into patterns of light that can be recognized and interpreted, allowing the patient to regain some visual function. When wearing the glasses, which Pontz refers to as his “eyes,” he can identify and grab his cat and figure out that a flash of light is his grandson hightailing it to the kitchen. The visual improvement is sometimes startling for Pontz and his wife, Terri, who is just as amazed at her husband’s progress as he is. “I said something I never thought I’d say: ‘Stop staring at me while I’m eating,’” Terri Pontz said. She drives her husband the nearly 200 miles from tiny Reed City, Mich., to Ann Arbor for check-ups and visits with occupational therapist Ashley Howson, who helps Roger Pontz reawaken his visual memory and learn techniques needed to make the most of his new vision. At the recent visit, Howson handed Pontz white and black plates, instructed him to move them back and forth in front of light and dark backgrounds and asked that he determine their color.

Jenkins plated the tying run moments earlier with a double to center, helping the RedStorm post its first-ever win over the Blue Raiders. RedStorm softball earns split with No. 8 Lindsey Wilson By Randy Payton URG Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — University of Rio Grande freshman pitcher Jenna Jones limited Lindsey Wilson’s potent offense to just one run and the RedStorm rallied to post a 2-1 win over the eighth-ranked Blue Raiders, Monday afternoon, in Mid-South Conference softball action at Rio Softball Park. Lindsey Wilson rebounded to post a 6-1 triumph in game two, snapping Rio’s seven-game win streak. The game one victory, which marked just the second time all season that LWC had been limited to one run or less, was also the RedStorm’s first-ever win over the Blue Raiders in 13 all-time meetings. The split left Rio Grande with a 27-14 record overall and a 19-11 mark in the MSC, while Lindsey Wilson finished the day at 38-6 overall and 24-4 in league play. Jones, a right-hander from Lancaster, Ohio, scattered five hits - four singles and a double - in a complete game effort and did not walk a batter. She struck out two en route to her 16th win in 25 decisions. The lone run scored by the Blue Raiders came in the top of the fourth inning when Amanda Trampe led off with a single and, one out later, scored all the way from first base on a double to left by Abbi Goedde. Rio Grande, which stranded a pair of runners in the first and one runner in both the second and third innings, finally scored a breakthrough against LWC starter Casey Bryan in the bottom of the fourth. Sophomore Mattie Lanham reached on a one-out walk and, one out later, scored from first on a double to deep right-center by freshman Kari Jenkins (Jackson, OH) - the first hit of the day for the RedStorm - to tie the game at 1-1. Freshman pinch-hitter Shanea Long (Wellston, OH) followed with a hard grounder that stayed under the glove of LWC shortstop Madison Scott and went into left-center for a single which allowed Jenkins to score the go-ahead run. The Blue Raiders were retired in order in the fifth and managed just a one-out infield single by Trampe in the sixth, but they did make things a bit interesting in the seventh. Travatia Bowden was hit by a pitch to begin the inning and moved to third on a pair of groundouts, but Jones induced Andrea Whelan to pop weakly to second for the game’s final out. Bryan suffered just her third loss in 21 decisions, despite allowing just three hits in a complete game effort. The freshman did issue a season-high four walks, but also had a season-high 12 strikeouts.

The Southern softball scored five runs in the sixth inning to seal the non-conference victory over visiting River Valley, Tuesday night at Star Mill Park. The Lady Raiders (4-7) got on the board first when Chelsea Copley singles, stole second base and scored on a Katie Mares single. Southern (9-4) pulled even with RVHS in the bottom of the second when Jordan Huddleston doubled and scored on Cierra Turley’s double. RVHS regained the lead in the top of the third when Ashley Gilmore doubled, stole third base and scored on Copley’s sacrifice fly. The Purple and Gold answered again in the bottom of the third with a RBI single by Hannah Hill, that scored Haley Hill. Southern took its first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth with three runs on three hits and a walk. River Valley cut the deficit to one in the top of the fifth with two run, highlighted by solo homerun by Libby Leach. The Lady Tornadoes marked a two runs in the bottom of the fifth to extend the lead back to three runs. The hosts broke the game open with a five-run sixth inning, putting the SHS advantage at 12-4. Copley scored in the top of the seventh for RVHS but the Lady Tornadoes held on for the 12-5 victory. Jordan Huddleston was the winning pitcher of record after allowing just five runs on nine hits and one walk, while striking out seven in seven innings.

Burdettes named D-4 coach, player of the year by OHSBCA By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — You can’t have one without the other. Eastern girls basketball coach John Burdette and University of Dayton signee Jenna Burdette each came away with some serious hardware on behalf of the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association this past weekend as the father-daughter duo were respectively announced as the Division IV coach and player of the year by the OHSBCA. Both Burdettes played key roles in guiding the Lady Eagles to a programbest 27-1 overall mark while picking up the school’s first-ever state championship, which came in a 49-38 triumph over Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans in the D-4 OHSAA state title game. John Burdette — who now owns a 120-30 overall record in six seasons at EHS — was joined by Jill Phillips of Cincinnati Princeton (D-1), Lisa Patterson of West Holmes (D-2) and Brian Ziegler (D-3) as the divisional choices for coaches of the year this past winter. Burdette, Phillips and Patterson each guided their respective teams to state titles in both the tournament and in the final AP polls. Gary Langenderfer of Swanton was named the assistant coach of the year on the girls side. Jenna Burdette — a four-time Southeast District POY selection who finished her EHS career as the school’s alltime leading scorer with 1,807 points — was joined by Kathryn Westbeld of Kettering Fairmont (D1), Amanda Cahill of Clyde (D-2) and Rachel Myers of Liberty-Benton (D-3) as the divisional choices for players of the year. Kelsey Mitchell of Princeton — an Ohio State signee who was also named Ms. Basketball by the Ohio AP — was selected as Ms. OHSBCA by the coaches. Both Burdettes will have one final game together this Sunday during the annual OHSBCA North-South games that will be played at Ohio Dominican University. John will serve as the South coach of the Division III-IV girls squad and Jenna — who was the highpoint scorer in the Ohio-Indiana AllStar game — will play her final prep game under her father’s guidance. The Division III-IV girls basketball contest kicks off a four-game showcase that start at noon. On the boys side of the OHSBCA selections, junior Luke Kennard of Franklin — a Duke University commit — was named Mr. OHSBCA by the coaches. The divisional players of the year were Vincent Edwards of Middletown (D-1), Dakota Mathias of Elida (D-2), Peyton Aldridge of LaBrae (D-3) and Geoff Beans of Ottawa Hills (D-4). The divisional coaches of the year were Tom McBride of Uniontown Lake (D-1), Greg Woodard of John Glenn (D-2), Ray Corbett of Grandview Heights (D-3) and Jeremy Best of Convoy Crestview (D-4). All award-winners will receive their honors during the OHSBCA NorthSouth event.

The Gallia Academy baseball team led 6-0 after two innings of play and plated 13 runs in the fourth en route to a 19-7 thumping of visiting Rock Hill Tuesday night during a non-conference matchup at Eastman Ball Field in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (9-3) snapped a two-game losing skid by pounding out 11 hits and taking advantage of nine walks issued by RHHS pitching, which allowed the hosts to claim the wire-to-wire triumph. GAHS dodged an early bullet as the Redmen (74) had the bases loaded with nobody out, but starter Seth Wills rallied with three consecutive outs to get out of the in- ning unscathed. The hosts followed with a triple by Gustin Graham that plated Gage Childers, then Graham came around on a groundout by Anthony Sipple for a 2-0 edge after one complete. RHHS again left the bases loaded in the second, then Gallia Academy produced four runs on two hits, two walks and a wild pitch — allowing the hosts to secure a six-run lead after two full frames. The Redmen produced half of their hits in the third, which led to three runs and a 6-3 deficit after three complete. Rock Hill produced another run in the top of the fourth thanks to an error and two hits, allowing the guests to pull to within 6-4. RHHS, however, never came closer the rest of the way. The Blue Devils sent 17 RedStorm From page B1 Game two was a showcase for Lindsey Wilson pitcher Jordan Hood. Hood, a junior righthander and the MSC Pitcher of the Year in 2013, took a perfect game into the fifth inning and finished with a complete-game twohitter. She walked just one and fanned 12. Hood also starred at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored. Scott also had four hits in the victory, while Kristina Krupinski and Brittney Graves both had two hits and an RBI and Goedde added a double. Hood’s home run gave the Blue Raiders a 1-0 second inning lead, before run-scoring hits by Scott and Krupinski in the fourth and and RBI hit by Graves in the fifth extended the lead to 4-0. Jones coaxed a leadoff walk from Hood in the fifth to end the perfect game and, one out later, Lanham singled to left to end the no-hit bit and send Jones to second. Freshman Alex Kuhn (Oak Hill, OH) followed with a single to center to plate Jones, but the rally died shortly thereafter when Hood fanned both Jenkins and Long. Lindsey Wilson tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the seventh thanks to an RBI double by Goedde and an error. Freshman starter Tiffany Bise (Circleville, OH) suffered her fourth loss in 15 decisions for Rio, allowing four hits - including the Hood home run - in two innings of work. Rio Grande returns to action on Wednesday afternoon when it hosts Georgetown University in the 2014 home finale.

Stricker had a two-run bases loaded single off of Knittel, the starter for Rio Grande, in the second inning and Franschetti had an RBI hit off of Christophel in the third, but that was the extent of the offensive output for the visitors. Rio Grande regained the lead with three unearned runs in the bottom of the third, two of which scored directly on errors and the other on a groundout by Ford. The RedStorm then tacked on two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. Freshman Carlos Flores (Guayanilla, Puerto Rico) drove in one of the sixth inning markers with a fielder’s choice grounder to second, while Knittel had an RBI single in the seventh. The final three runs of the game came against MU-H relievers Tyler Stansbury and Grant Ballou in the eighth. Yates and Ford were both hit by pitches with two outs and the bases loaded to force in runs and Knittel drew a basesloaded walk to plate the final run of the day. Rio Grande returns to action on Friday afternoon when it travels to Lebanon, Tenn. to face Cumberland University in the first game of a three-game weekend series. The RedStorm need a series sweep of the Bulldogs, along with help from the University of the Cumberlands and the University of Pikeville, in order to qualify for the upcoming MSC tourney. Friday’s first pitch is set for 3 p.m. EDT. CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals exercised a 2015 contract option for receiver A.J. Green on Monday, letting them turn their focus to an extension for quarterback Andy Dalton. Green was the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft and was entering the final season on his deal. The collective bargaining agreement allows teams to exercise a fifth-year option on players drafted in the top 10. The Bengals will have to pay him the average of the top 10 receivers in the NFL. Green has 3,833 yards receiving in his first three seasons, trailing only Randy Moss’ 4,163 yards in his first three seasons. He set club records with six 100-yard receiving games and five straight 100-yard games last season. He finished with 1,426 yards, trailing only Chad Johnson’s club record of 1,440 yards. Bengals owner Mike Brown said at the NFL’s annual meeting last month that he planned to exercise the fifth-year option on Green, which had to be done by the first week in May. “It’s what is in the new CBA,” Green said on Monday morning. “There’s nothing I can do about it.” By exercising the option, Bengals can wait until after next season to talk to Green about a long-term deal. “That’s one thing I don’t ever worry about, that business side,” Green said. “I feel like my body of work speaks for itself. So whenever the time is right, it happens.” Dalton was taken in the second round in 2011, so he’s not subject to an option year. His deal expires after this season. Dalton said on Monday that the Bengals have talked to him about an extension, but nothing appears to be imminent.

The trial began Tuesday in Pittsburgh for 26-year-old Michael Paranay, 26-year-old Dquay Means and 27-year-old Jerrell Whitlock. They’re facing charges ranging from conspiracy to attempted homicide. Prosecutor Christopher Stone said in his opening statements Tuesday that the defendants “saw an opportunity to steal a nice truck” and they took it.

He had 20.3 points and 5.9 assists per game as Phoenix went 48-34 and just missed the playoffs in the tough Western Conference. Dragic shot 50.5 percent from the field and 40.8 percent on 3-pointers. He received 408 of a possible 1,134 points, including 65 first-place votes, from a panel of 126 sports writers and broadcasters in the United States and Canada. Indiana’s Lance Stephenson was second with 158 points and 13 first-place votes, and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis third with 155 points and 16 firstplace votes. Penn St. fans plan new statue of Joe Paterno STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — With one Joe Paterno statue in storage, fans of the late Penn State football coach are commissioning a new one to be placed across from the university. A State College, Pa., restaurant owner says he’s interested in having the new statue put in front of his establishment. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers says the school isn’t involved in the plan. In 2012, the school removed a Pa- terno statue outside its football stadium. That happened after a unive rs i t y - c o m m i s s i o n e d report accused the late coach and three administrators of concealing sex abuse claims against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Organizers say the new statue will feature Paterno sitting on a bench reading. It’s expected to cost about $300,000. They hope it will be done in 2015 by Philadelphia sculptor Zenos Frudakis.

Jones recorded both wins in a sweep of Pikeville (Ky.). She allowed one run on three hits in a 3-1 complete-game win in the first game of the doubleheader and picked up the win in relief as the RedStorm beat the Bears 4-3 for the sweep. Jones — who pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the seventh — threw a score- less two-thirds of an inning to preserve the 3-3 tie. The RedStorm scored in the bottom of the seventh to give Jones her 15th win of the season. Jones ranks third in the Mid-South in wins, fourth in opponent’s batting average (.212), sixth in strikeouts (103) and eighth in ERA (2.38). Nationally, Jones’ wins ranks 28th in the NAIA. Krupinski posted a .455 batting average with three home runs and seven RBIs to earn the conference’s player of the week honor. She helped the No. 8-ranked Blue Raiders to a 4-0 week. The Elizabethtown, Ky., first baseman began her week with a 2-for-4 performance in the first game of a doubleheader with Georgetown (Ky.). She hit a seventh-inning grand slam to help the Blue Raiders win in come-frombehind fashion. Krupinski added a two-run home run in the second game in a 4-1 win. Against Cumberlands (Ky.), Krupinski hit a solo home run in the first game of the doubleheader to become the program’s alltime home run leader with 36 career homers. Krupinski scored seven times while posting a 1.273 slugging percentage during the week. This season, Krupinski is second in the Mid-South in slugging percentage (.810), third in runs (45), fourth in home runs (11), seventh in RBIs (37) and eighth in batting average (.397). She is 18th in the NAIA in slugging percentage and 19th in home runs nationally. fact got there faster than some of the newer, shinier stadiums around the country. The Cubs were the first to install a moving walkway back in the 1950s (it was removed a few years later) and in 2012 were one of the first teams in the majors to offer Wi-Fi. “The Cubs were ahead of their time and, frankly, ahead of the league,” said Bob Bowman, CEO of MLB Advanced Media, the league’s interactive branch. The lack of a video scoreboard is a glaring reminder that the Cubs have some catching up to do. That is even more obvious this year thanks to a new instant replay system that allows teams to challenge umpires’ calls. “With this replay for our fans, 75 million of them at the games, get to see what everyone sees at home,” Bowman said. Except at Wrigley, where fans have to wait until they get home or watch the television monitors while they’re in line to buy a hot dog or beer. “How ridiculous is that?” asked Marc Ganis, a sports consultant with SportsCorp Ltd. in Chicago, who once advised the Cubs’ prior owner, the Tribune Co. “The only time you see it is when you’re not in your seat.” The lack of a video board is only the most visible example of some of the differences between Wrigley and other parks. Rather than ordering food and drink on a handheld device and having it delivered right to their seats, fans at Wrigley get things the oldfashioned way: By yelling at vendors roaming the aisles or making a trip to the concession stands. The Cubs can’t do it any other way because Wrigley Field is so small that food must be prepared offsite. A proposed $300 million renovation project includes construction of commissary, though team spokesman Julian Green said a final decision hasn’t been made. The Cubs are also examining whether to join the roughly 20 teams that have customized Major League Baseball’s At the Ballpark app to give fans access to information about ballparks as they enter, from seat location to specials on merchandise. One thing the Cubs say they won’t be doing any time soon is allowing fans to upgrade their seats via their handheld devices. “There are a lot of great innovations happening at new ball parks but Wrigley has magic (and) we need to be careful that we don’t implement technology that takes away from the experience of Wrigley, the experience of what it has been like for sons going to games with their fathers, and their fathers’ fathers,” said Andrew McIntyre, the Cubs’ senior director of information technology. Many fans do worry that the Cubs’ embrace of technology could change the atmosphere at the friendly confines for the worse. They want to see the park as they imagine past generations saw it. “Any modernization, you risk losing what made it special,” said Todd Jezierski, a 32-year-old Oregon resident. He said when a friend heard he was coming to Wrigley, he excitedly told him he just had to visit the restrooms and see the ancient urinal troughs. Charlie Tausche, a 75-yearold retired attorney, has less of a problem with a massive video board than with the technology-toting young people who will flock the Wrigley in greater numbers once school lets out. “They stand up in front of you in the middle of the game and take their selfies,” he complained. The oldest stadium in the majors, Boston’s Fenway Park, is awash in video boards and still remains one of the jewels of baseball at 102 years old. And — this is a big one for long-suffering Cubs fans — it has fielded three World Series winners in the last decade.

The weekly honor is the third of the season for Jones. She also earned the award on March 10 and March 24. Krupinski earns her first weekly honor of the season and second of her career. She was player of the week as well on Feb. 25, 2013. Jones posted a 4-0 record last week, including hurling her second nohitter of the season to earn the Mid-South’s top weekly pitching honor. The Lancaster, Ohio, native, finished last week with three complete games while allowing just one run and four hits in 21-2/3 innings. Jones began the week with a one-hit shutout in a 4-0 win over Cumberlands. She struck out six in the win while issuing a pair of walks. In her next outing, Jones no-hit Bluefield (Va.) in a 4-0 win over the Rams. She concluded the Submitted Photo Rio Grande freshman pitcher Jenna Jones, shown here during Monday’s win over Lindsey Wilson, was named Mid-South Conference Pitcher of the Week for the third time this season on Monday.

(AP) — Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will drive the pace car before Saturday night’s NASCAR race at Richmond. Richmond International Raceway made the announcement Wednesday, and says it happened with some help from Twitter. The track says NASCAR driver and devout Redskins fan Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the ball rolling in late March when he tweeted to Griffin about being Grand Marshal for the race. Track President Dennis Bickmeier chimed in on Twitter, telling Griffin he’d love to have him drive the pace car instead. The following Monday, RIR officials reached out to the Redskins, and plans were finalized.
