Garnes, 93 Council in split vote reduces sewer rates By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — Rates for Middleport’s sewer customers were reduced by one-third during Monday night’s meeting of Middleport Village Council. By a split vote on a motion made by Councilman Richard Vaughan, who declared that “we need a change” and seconded by Roger Manley, the council voted 3-2 to pass the motion. Voting in favor of reducing the sewer rate, which is now a 1.5 percent of the water bill to 1 percent, were Vaughan, Manley and Sharon Older. Voting against the reduction were Penny Burge and Emerson Heighton. Doug Dixon was not present. The vote followed a lively discussion on the effect the reduction would have on services in the village. Vaughan continued to call for a vote while Susan Baker, financial officer, attempted to explain the effect on village finances and services, and called for a delay for further consideration. Vaughan contended there was no reason to delay, that the motion was on the table, that they wanted a vote now, and it took place. No date was set as to when the reduction will take place. Also during the meeting, a second reading was given to the ordinance providing for establishing a new position of village economic development director. A call for the proposed position came from Manley after a proposal for the new position and an application for it came in from Fred Hoffman, who Manley strongly supports for the position.

The first 12 Leading Creek Stream Sweeps were held in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Leading Creek Improvement Project. Now it is held as part of a cooperative litter control project between the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District, Meigs County Board of Commissioners and the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs-Vinton Solid Waste Management District. Other sponsors include the Rutland Township Board of Trustees and the Meigs County Transfer Station.

Gaines sentenced following assault Defendant ordered to pay fine and court costs By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A woman who allegedly assaulted two other women in the obstetrics department at Holzer Medical Center last summer was recently sentenced in Gallia County Common Pleas Court. Lora L. Gaines, 46, of Oak Hill, was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000, as well as court costs after she pleaded guilty to first-degree misdemeanor assault — a charge lowered from a second-degree felony felonious assault — and a plea agreement that was made upon the recommendation of the victim. According to the police report filed with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Of- fice, at approximately 5 p.m. July 31, a deputy was dispatched to the hospital in reference to an assault after Gaines had reportedly entered the obstetrics department and began assaulting a woman there. Upon arrival, the deputy was reportedly advised by the victim that she had witnessed Gaines assault a second woman. The victim reportedly tried to get Gaines off the woman and, while doing so, Gaines had hit her several times, causing serious injury. The victim reportedly went to the emergency room to be treated and was later sent to the intensive care unit. No further information has been made available in regard to the first woman allegedly assaulted by the defendant. See GAINES | 2 ATHENS — Thanks to the generosity of nearly 75,000 alumni and friends, Ohio University’s Promise Lives Campaign has surpassed its $450 million goal ahead of schedule. The campaign, which will continue though June 30, 2015, seeks to secure an unprecedented level of financial support for Ohio University. Transformational, multi-million dollar commitments already have pushed the campaign to historic levels and donors have met many of the campaign objectives — committing more than $100 million for capital projects; $105 million in support of faculty; and $50 million for academic and student programs. To date, more than $450.86 million has been committed to the campaign. “I am very proud of all that Ohio University’s alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students have accomplished to date through the Promise Lives Campaign. The tremendous loyalty and generosity of the Bobcat Nation has surpassed all of our expectations,” said Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis. “While this is indeed an historic moment in Ohio University’s history, our work is not finished. With more than a year left until the campaign ends, I know that Bobcats across the globe will continue to give generously to support our students, our faculty and our future.” A $2 million commitment from John Kopchick, a GollOhio Eminent scholar and distinguished professor of molecular and cellular biology, and his wife Char, assistant dean of students for campus involvement, tipped the campaign over its goal. Their commitment supports the University’s interdisciplinary programs in molecular and cellular biology and in translational biomedical sciences. “John and Char’s gift is a powerful example of the passion of Ohio University’s faculty and staff for this singular place,” McDavis said. “What an outstanding illustration of not only mentorship, teaching and research, but of giving back and coming full circle through an extraordinary gift that will live in perpetuity at Ohio University.” The colleges, units and campuses continue to strive toward their individual goals and priorities. For example, the Heritage College and the College of Health Sciences and Professions are working to raise funds in support of the Dublin and Cleveland campuses. And, one overall campaign funding priority remains to be fulfilled: scholarship support. Through the Invest Ohio Undergraduate Scholarship Matching program, the university has dedicated $25 million to strengthen its endowed scholarship program. For a limited time, these funds will be used to match 50 cents on every dollar committed to eligible scholarship endowments. So, $50 million in scholarship-giving will grow to $75 million in support for students. Already, donors have committed more than $1.9 million toward “Invest Ohio.” Combined with matching dollars, that is $2.85 million in new endowed scholarship support. “We’ve covered a lot of ground, and I’m particularly grateful to the Campaign Steering Committee, under the leadership of Charles R. Stuckey Jr., for its unwavering commitment to Ohio University and to the campaign.” said J. Bryan Benchoff, president and CEO of The Ohio University Foundation and vice president of university advancement. “But, there are still many alumni and friends whom we’ve yet to reach out to in support of the university’s students, faculty and programs.” For the remaining 14 months of the campaign, Ohio University officials say the focus will be on securing support for scholarships and pushing the Invest Ohio Scholarship matching program — and Promise Lives Campaign — to the highest possible level. “When you get that call, or that letter in the mail, think about how far we can take this campaign — about what we can achieve together for our university. This is it,” Benchoff said. “This is our moment to make a difference.” �Page 2 The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, April 30, 2014 Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Community Calendar Today: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 11 a.m., then showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Cloudy, with a high near 76.

Member SIPC. Tuesday, May 6 POMEROY — The next regular meeting of the Meigs From Page 1 The first reading of the new ordinance had already been given, and at Monday night’s meeting a second reading was passed. Meanwhile, as required by law, an advertisement for qualified applicants has run in The Daily Sentinel. Applications will be accepted until May 6. No further action can be taken until after then. At the meeting, several proposed projects were discussed and approved. Faymon Roberts reported on the Middleport Hill problem and approval of a bid from Myers Paving of $13,600 for the work was accepted. The sewer project on North Second Street was also discussed with approval from the council to proceed with taking care of that problem. Denise Alkire, of the county’s grant office, met with council and gave a review of proposed projects for use of the Neighborhood Revitalization Program funding from the $300,000 that may be available to the village through a state grant. Included in that list is $60,000 for the Middleport Walking Path/Trail, which already has in place a grant for $2,381,597 from the Ohio Department of Transportation, and the probability of additional funding from two smaller grants applied for by Mayor Michael Gerlach that are still pending. All of the engineering and design work for the project has been completed. Another project that the grants writer listed was demotion of the Middleport Pool in General Hartinger The first stream sweep was held in 2001 at Firemen’s Park in Rutland, where it was held until 2006 when it moved to Jim Vennari Park in Rutland.

Following a welcome and safety brief by Meigs SWCD wildlife specialist Jim Freeman, volunteers fanned out throughout the 150-square-mile Leading Creek watershed to pick up litter before returning to the Conservation Area to deposit their finds in the Rutland Township dump truck. For their effort, the volunteers received pizza for lunch and a Leading Creek Stream Sweep T-shirt. This year, volunteers collected enough plastic bottles, trash and other junk to completely fill the township’s dump truck with some overflow into one of the SWCD’s pickup trucks. “It is hard to say just how much stuff has been picked up over the years,” Freeman said. “The first few years were probably the worst in terms of sheer amounts of trash and heavy junk. “In a perfect world, we’d have a stream sweep and not find anything to pick up, but we’re not there yet.” If you missed your chance to help clean up the outdoors, there are more activities planned, including the annual Ohio River Sweep on June 21. River Sweep is an event organized by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, an interstate water pollution agency for the Ohio River Valley. It has been held since 1989 and encompasses the entire length of the river from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill. In addition, Meigs County community groups can organize their own county and township roadside clean-ups through the Meigs SWCD’s Meigs County — Pick It Up! Program. In that program, the district provides logistical support including bags, gloves and pick-up service for groups wanting to do their own community service clean-up projects. For more information on River Sweep or Meigs County — Pick It Up!, contact the Meigs SWCD weekdays at 992-4282. She was later released on an own-recognizance bond. Following negotiations with Gaines’ attorney and Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, a plea agreement was filed earlier this month and signed by both the defense and the prosecution. A statement signed by the victim agreeing to the terms of the plea agreement was also filed. Adkins reported on Tuesday that the victim in this case was in agreement with the sentence as the defendant was actually attempt- ing to harm another person when the victim became involved in the assault. “Felonious assault is to knowingly cause serious physical harm to another person, or to cause or attempt to cause serious physical harm by means of a deadly weapon, which is not what we’re talking about here,” Adkins said. “The aggressor was actually after someone else, and this person was going to the aid of her friend.” Adkins further stated that, while it is unknown whether or not the victim will pursue this matter civilly, as that is an option, during sentencing last week, the defendant apologized to the victim while the victim expressed her forgiveness due to the circumstances. The woman who was the alleged target of the assault during the incident has yet to pursue charges against Gaines, according to Adkins, who reported that he is not aware of any additional charges against this defendant. Adkins said that, in any case such as this where someone is hurt, he spends a lot of time speaking with the victim, discussing the legal process and what could happen if the case were to go to trial. He said his overall goal is to help the victim. “If the victim’s happy, then I’m happy,” Adkins said. As stated in the plea agreement, Gaines has been ordered to stay away from the person and/or property of the victim. Gaines From Page 1 A grand jury later indicted Gaines on a charge of felonious assault after she allegedly “knowingly” caused serious physical harm to the victim, and a summons to appear for an arraignment was filed in this case last October. Gaines appeared on Oct. 31 with her retained counsel, Andrew S. Hanes, sitting in for Rick Faulkner, an attorney from Wheelersburg, Ohio, and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Plans are included for the building to be handicapped accessible, to incorporate activities which can take place in the big front yard, and to make the auditorium available for use in the community, where there is room for civic groups to meet, and dinners to be served. She reported that an engineer has already looked at the building. During the meeting, the mayor presented information on an AEP program called “Energy Savers,” which Middleport has been asked to join and voted to do. He noted that there are incentives for villages who participate in the energy efficiency program. Joining the pilot program comes at no cost to the village. Residents benefit from the program through rebates on appliances, in-home energy programs and inspections, at no or low fees. It was noted that there have been eight applicants from Jobs and Family Services who are available to do jobs in Middleport this summer at no cost to the village. It was decided the village will use them as needed. The mayor reported that the fire department has received a fire marshal’s grant for $10,000 that will be used for new helmets for all firemen, and one complete firefighter’s outfit.

She designated $18,700 from the revitalization program for that project. “The Middleport pool, which has not be operable for years now, is definitely coming down,” she said. Other programs in the proposal include $36,510 for rescue equipment for the Middleport Fire Department, $32,000 for rehabilitating the tennis courts and funding for rehabilitating two shelter houses, construction of a skate park in Hartinger Park, recreational equipment, sidewalk replacement and funds for repaving. “We’re going to use the whole $300,000 on projects like these,” she concluded. She noted that the Senior Center and its proposed move to the old high school in Middleport is not in a position to receive grant funds as of this funding year. Beth Shaver, Meigs County Council on Aging executive director, met with council to present an overview of the plan to move the Senior Citizens Center from its Mulberry Avenue site to Middleport once the legal ramifications of a transfer from Middleport village to the Council on Aging has been completed, along with financial arrangements for the required renovation. Shaver stressed that the objective of the project is to encompass not only more activities for seniors, but to expand into youth and community programs.

Now, if you’ll have a look-see, read our poem inspired by If You Give A Mouse A Cookie (by Laura Numeroff). If you give a man a mouse he’s going to want to use the computer. If he uses the computer he’ll probably want to go on the Internet. If he surfs the Internet he’s going to want to visit some interesting websites. He’ll probably end up on www.socialsecurity.gov. If he visits socialsecurity.gov you can bet he’ll check out our library of publications at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs. If he reads some of our publications, he’ll probably want to check out the online services. If he does that there’s no doubt he’ll open a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Once he explores my Social Security he’ll end up reviewing his Social Security statement. Then he’ll want to explore what will happen if he retires at different ages by using the Retirement Estimator at www. socialsecurity.gov/estimator. If he plugs in different scenarios, such as earnings amounts and retirement dates then he’ll probably start thinking seriously about retiring. He’ll read the publication When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits. After he reads that he’ll ask you what you think about his decision to retire, but he won’t listen to your answer. Instead, he’ll use the Retirement Planner at www.socialsecurity.gov/retire. It won’t take him long to realize that he wants to retire so he can spend more time on the computer. He will ask you to make him a cup of tea, so you put on the kettle. He will apply for retirement benefits at www. socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. It will take him 15 minutes. The tea won’t even be ready until after he has submitted his application. He will start receiving his payments electronically and he’ll pay all of his bills online. And chances are, if he’s back on the computer with his mouse in hand, he’ll remember how easy it was to use Social Security’s website and he’ll comment about it by using Social Security’s social media hub at www.socialsecurity.gov/socialmedia.

OPINION Page 4 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2014 The gun supremacists’ folly By E.J. Dionne Have we gone stark raving mad? The question is brought to mind by the new gun law signed last week in Georgia by Gov. Nathan Deal. You might have thought that since the United States couldn’t possibly have more permissive firearms laws than it does now, nothing more could be done to coddle the gun lobby and tip the balance of our statutes away from law enforcement. Alas, you would be wrong. The creativity of the National Rifle Association and other organizations devoted to establishing conditions in which every man, woman and child in our nation will have to be armed is awe inspiring. Where imagination is concerned, the best absurdist artists and writers have nothing on the NRA. No wonder Stephen Colbert has decided to move on from the realm of satire. When parody becomes reality, the challenges facing even a comedian of his talents can become insurmountable. You might not have thought that the inability of people to pack while praying was a big problem. Georgia’s political leaders think otherwise, so the new law allows people to carry guns in their houses of worship. True, congregations can set their own rules, but some pastors wonder about the confusion this provision will create, and those who would keep their sanctuaries gun-free may worry about being branded as liberal elitists. Maybe the Georgia Legislature will help them by requiring a rewrite of the Scriptures. “Blessed are the peacemakers” can become “Blessed are the gun owners.” You will also be able to tote weapons into bars and their parking facilities if the bar grants you permission. I can’t wait to see the next beer ad depicting a gunfight over who pays for the next round. Georgia thinks you should be able to take guns into government buildings that don’t have screening devices or security guards. Second Amendment enthusiasts tend not to like tax increases, but as The Associated Press reported, the city of Vienna, Ga., (pop. 3,841) would have to shell out about $60,000 a year to increase security at city buildings. “Do we raise taxes to provide the police protection or do we take the risk of potential injury to our public?” asked Mayor Pro Tem Beth English, who also is president of the Georgia Municipal Association. Too bad if this gun lobby subsidy comes out of the school budget. Oh yes, and while conservatives claim to hate the centralization of power, this law wipes out a series of local gun regulations. The gun supremacists just don’t trust those pesky local elected officials. People with a gun license who try to carry a weapon onto an airplane get a nice break under this bill. If they’re caught with a gun at a security checkpoint, nothing happens as long as they leave the area. Try, try again. Watch out if you connect through Atlanta. And law and order goes out the window. As Niraj Chokshi noted in The Washington Post, this statute gets rid of state requirements that firearms dealers maintain records of sales and purchases. Databases on license holders that span multiple jurisdictions are banned. Those who commit gun crimes must be chuckling, “Can you find me now?” Nothing better reveals the utter irrationality of our politics for the whole world to see than this madness about guns — and no issue better demonstrates how deeply divided our nation is by region, ideology and party. The New York Times found that in the 12 months after the Sandy Hook shootings, 39 laws were enacted tightening gun restrictions; 25 were passed by state governments under full Democratic control. Seventy laws were passed loosening gun restrictions, 49 of them in Republican-controlled states. According to The Wall Street Journal, 21 states strengthened firearms restrictions in 2013, and 20 weakened them. Nowhere else in the world do the laws on firearms become the playthings of politicians and lobbyists intent on manufacturing cultural conflict. Nowhere else do elected officials turn the matter of taking a gun to church into a searing ideological question. But then, guns are not a religion in most countries. The program for the NRA’s annual convention, held over the weekend in Indianapolis, listed sessions on “Survival Mindset: Are You Prepared?”; “Creating a Constitutionally Centered Estate Plan”; and “Refuse to be a Victim.” Party on, guys. I can’t wait for you to figure out the ways in which even Georgia’s law is too liberal. In the meantime, the nation’s unarmed majority might ponder how badly we have failed in asserting our own rights. GOP: Choose wisely or reap the whirlwind By Kathleen Parker The Cliven Bundy spectacle in Nevada has provided a Wild West backdrop for our hottest political issues as we gallop toward the midterm elections. Politically, the conflict between the Bureau of Land Management and the Bundy family has highlighted the importance of picking one’s battles wisely. Suffice to say, a smattering of pundits and politicians drank from the wrong chalice. One day, Bundy was the new face for conservative opposition to federal expansionism, 2014’s Joe the Plumber, a human metaphor for the last man armed and standing for freedom against the superior forces of federal agents. Then, cue funeral dirge, Bundy wandered off-script and spoke his fevered mind. The tall, Stetson-topped Bundy wondered whether African-Americans weren’t better off as slaves picking cotton than living on the plantation of government subsidy. The hook, the hook! Where’s that dadgum hook?! “Negroes,” Bundy further observed, abort their babies and put their men in prisons. Young black males were in trouble, he said, because they hadn’t been taught to pick cotton. Obviously, there’s no defending Bundy’s remarks. Pundits and politicians, including most notably Sean Hannity, Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Gov. Rick 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 Perry quickly distanced themselves from the Bundy comments, though not, curiously, from his objections to the government’s authority over grazing lands. Well, of course they would disavow racist remarks. But they also never should have aligned themselves with someone who not only flouts the law but also has armed himself against government agents, indicating his willingness to protest through violence. What’s next, a shootout in Statuary Hall? For years, meanwhile, Bundy has been enjoying the benefits of public property for grazing privileges without paying fees or taxes, as required by federal law and as reinforced by various court rulings through the years. He did pay local and state taxes, but refuses to recognize federal authority. That Bundy has been acting illegally is not in dispute. The recent, made-for-media confrontation was in fact the finale in a years-long string of court battles, none of them resolved in Bundy’s favor. Simply, Bundy doesn’t recognize the U.S. government, period. Inarguably, he was not the brightest exhibit for conservative arguments for government- or self-restraint, not to mention the rule of law. Initially, the standoff might have had a certain romantic appeal to sentimentalists weaned on cowboy flicks. The movie boards seemed vaguely familiar. The rogue rancher, his gun slung low, stands up to guvmint agents, defending his right to roam free and die young. Alarm and drama were magnified when agents confiscated and killed some of Bundy’s cattle. Now that’s a line too far. Unfortunately for Bundy’s defenders, Bundy wasn’t Ben Cartwright and his boys defending the Ponderosa. He was the nameless half- wit who staggers out of the saloon, shooting up stars to stop the railroaders long after the train has left the station. What were these conservative defenders thinking? With the possible exception of Paul, they were thinking about their ratings and political base. Paul is an unapologetic libertarian and, therefore, easily sympathetic to those who contest aggressive federal rule. Perry was winking at secessionists before he began renovating his image with spectacles and a professorial air. Media are what they are. The left does not entirely escape critique in this imbroglio. No sooner did Bundy launch his racist screed than leftward-leaning media began extrapolating Bundy’s racism to signify racism throughout the Republican Party. One man’s rant is not an institutional creed. Thus, this liberal conflation is a sample of flawed logic. That said, it is not baseless. The GOP is not a party of racists, but it is a party with racists. At some political rallies in the South and elsewhere, Confederate flags do appear that can have only one purpose — and it’s not to celebrate heritage. Dog whistles also can be heard and antiObama signs and symbols often include the worst sort of racist stereotypes. Are all Republicans racist? Of course not. But Republicans should repent of associating with anyone espousing or endorsing such incendiary nastiness. And championing lawlessness does nothing to elevate discourse, civility or any of the other higher roads to which we might more enthusiastically aspire. The GOP does not deserve to be indicted along with Bundy, but for too long the party has sown the wind by tolerating some of its less ennobled colleagues. Cliven Bundy is their whirlwind. �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2014 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Point Pleasant pounds Pioneers, 12-1 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com WAYNE, W.Va. — Offense in abundance.

Point Pleasant began the game with a fourrun first inning, highlighted by a two-run triple by Megan Hammond. PPHS added five runs in the the fourth and added one in the fifth to seal the mercy rule victory. Madison Barker earned the victory after allowing just one hit in five shutout innings, while walking two and striking out four.

Fetty, Barker and Hesson each had one stolen base in the triumph. Bell had Belpre’s lone hit in the setback. PPHS finished with 10 runs, eight hits, no errors and three runners left on base, while Belpre had no runs, one hit, six errors and three runners left on base. In the second game Point Pleasant needed just one big inning to put away the host Blue Angels. The Lady Knights broke the scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning when Karson Bonecutter doubled home Hammond. PPHS added on with six runs in the fifth inning, highlighted by a two-run double by Darst and a two-run single by Higginbotham. Fetty was hit by a pitch in the top of the sixth and came around to score, but Gallia Academy marked two runs in the bottom of the sixth, as Maggie Westfall and Violet Pelfry each came around to score. Neither team could add on in the seventh inning and the Lady Knights claimed the 8-2 win. PPHS sophomore Cochran earned the win after allowing two unearned runs on two hits and two walks, while striking out 10 in seven innings.

(AP) — Trainer Art Sherman was concerned Tuesday morning when he found California Chrome sound asleep. You don’t want a groggy colt, with the Kentucky Derby just days away. Turns out, the probable Derby favorite was still on West Coast time after flying east on Monday. While 5 a.m. was rise-and-shine time in Kentucky, it was still the middle of the night back at his California base. “I was concerned he might be tired,” Sherman said. “Then I got to thinking it was only 2 o’clock California time. He was just sacked out, sleeping away.” The Santa Anita Derby winner quickly snapped to, and headed out to the track for his first tour of Churchill Downs. Shrugging off any jet lag, California Chrome was alert and eager for a jog over the surfaced still muddy from Monday’s heavy rain. “My exercise rider said it was the best the horse has felt in a long time,” Sherman said. “He enjoyed the track a lot. He was different, more aggressive since he got here. So that was a good sign.” In a break with tradition, California Chrome did not wear a yellow Derby saddle cloth because of a typo. His name was misspelled as Califorina Chrome. Churchill Downs has ordered a corrected one. The chestnut colt with the prominent white blaze completed his serious training at Los Alamitos Race Course before heading to Kentucky. The mission for Sherman and his team will be keeping California Chrome happy and focused from now until Saturday. Most of the remaining drills will involve getting the horse familiar with the paddock and starting gate. Sherman doesn’t believe the noise from an anticipated crowd of over 140,000 on Saturday will bother his horse. “He loves people,” the trainer said. “He’s a people horse. He had a lot of attention in California before he left. There were wall-to-wall people all around him and he never turned a hair.” This will be the first time California Chrome, winner of his last four races by a combined 24 ¼ lengths, races outside his home state. ——— NEW YORK STATE OF MIND: Funny Cide blazed the trail in 2003, becoming the first and still only New York-bred horse to capture the Derby. This year, there are two contenders from the Empire State: Samraat and Uncle Sigh. Rick Violette, Samraat’s trainer, sees that as evidence the state’s breeding program is on the upswing. “There is no question the breeders in New York have stepped up,” he said. “We’ve been encouraging them to do that. There is money there to help improve the quality of the New York bred, and I think this is a great example of it.” Of the two New Yorkers, Samraat is the more accomplished. He won his first five races, including victories over Uncle Sigh in the Withers and Gotham stakes. His first defeat came in the Wood Memorial, where he finished second to Wicked Strong. “I thought he passed a lot of internal tests that we hadn’t been confronted with before,” Violette said of the Wood. “It was the first time he was surrounded with horses in front of him and on the outside. That dynamic changes horses. All of sudden they are not the only alpha male, and not necessarily controlling the race. We’ve run six times. Only one horse has beaten us, and we got a great education the day we got beat.” Uncle Sigh, fifth in the Wood, has one win in five starts for trainer Gary Contessa. This will be Contessa’s Derby debut. Violette has been to the Derby once before when Read the Footnotes ran seventh in 2004. ——— OUTSIDE DRAW: Untapable, the 4-5 favorite, drew the outside post among the 13 fillies entered for the $1 million Kentucky Oaks on Friday. Rosie Napravnik will be aboard for trainer Steve Asmussen. Untapable was unstoppable at the Fair Ground this winter, winning the Rachel Alexandra Stakes by 9 ½ lengths and the Fair Grounds Oaks by 7 ¾ lengths. She is 2 for 2 at Churchill Downs, winning her debut there last summer and the Pocahontas Stakes in the fall. Sterling banned for life by the NBA NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation. Commissioner Adam Silver said he will try to force the controversial owner to sell his franchise. Sterling has also been fined $2.5 million, and Silver made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments. “I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners I need to remove him,” Silver said. The rebuke, which came three days after the scandal broke, is the harshest penalty ever issued by the league and one of the stiffest punishments ever given to an owner in professional sports. Silver said a league investigation found the NBA’s longest-tenured owner was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend. “We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling’s views,” Silver said. “They simply have no place in the NBA.” Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said. Sterling is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, be present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team. He also cannot participate in any league business going forward. It’s unclear how he will respond, and a lawsuit certainly seems possible. “This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one coach and any one player,” Silver said. The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and the Players Association, Silver said. “This has all happened in three days, and so I am hopeful there will be no long-term damage to the league and to the Clippers organization,” Silver said. “But as I said earlier, I’m outraged so I certainly understand other people’s outrage. This will take some time and appropriate healing will be necessary.” After the announcement, the Clippers’ website had a simple message: “We are one,” it read. “We wholeheartedly support and embrace the decision by the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver today. Now the healing process begins,” the Clippers added in a statement released to the media. Sterling’s comments were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin, and numerous NBA owners and players have condemned them. Even President Barack Obama weighed in on the crisis, the first of Silver’s brief tenure as commissioner. The league’s investigation started Saturday and players immediately began expressing intense displeasure with the situation, even going so far as to ask Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to get involved on behalf of the players’ union. “Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!!,” Miami Heat star LeBron James wrote on Twitter. Before Silver took the podium, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted out a photo of the NBA Constitution, saying “It exists for a reason.” The announcement of the sanctions came just hours before the Clippers will play Golden State in Game 5 of a knotted-up Western Conference first-round playoff series. Several sponsors either terminated or suspended their business dealings with the team on Monday, though individual deals that some of those companies have with Clippers stars like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin will continue and were not affected. Still, it was a clear statement that companies, like just about everyone inside the league, were outraged. “Commissioner Silver showed great leadership in banning LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life,” Magic Johnson, who was referenced on the taped conversation involving Sterling, tweeted shortly after the league’s decision was announced. Johnson’s role on the tape stemmed from Sterling’s female companion apparently posting a photo of her and the Hall of Fame player on her Instagram account. That photo has since been deleted, but raised Sterling’s ire nonetheless. “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?” Sterling asks the woman on the tape. Silver said when he first heard the audio, he hoped it had been altered or was fake — but also said that from his 20year relationship with Sterling, he suspected the voice was his. The issues raised when the tapes were released over the weekend represent just another chapter in Sterling’s long history of being at the center of controversy. In the past, he’s faced extensive federal charges of civil rights violations and racial discrimination in his business dealings, and some of his race-related statements would be described as shocking. He has also been sued in the past for sexual harassment by former employees, and even the woman who goes by the name “V. Stiviano” — purportedly the female voice on the tapes at the center of this scandal — describes Sterling in court documents as a man “with a big toothy grin brandishing his sexual prowess in the faces of the Paparazzi and caring less what anyone else thought, the least of which, his own wife.” Stiviano is being sued by Rochelle Sterling, who is seeking to reclaim at least $1.8 million in cash and gifts that her husband allegedly provided the woman. Jeff Wheeler | Minneapolis Star Tribune | MCT photo The Miami Heat’s Chris Andersen (11) greets teammates Ray Allen and LeBron Jones, right, as they walk off the court during a timeout in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Monday, March 4, 2013. The Heat defeated the Timberwolves, 97-81. Heat will have time to rest after sweeping Bobcats CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dwyane Wade will have a chance to rest those sore knees and that tight hamstring. And LeBron James can ice up his thigh contusion. The Miami Heat earned a little extra rest and relaxation after completing a four-game sweep of the Charlotte Bobcats with a 109-98 victory Monday night. With Toronto and Brooklyn tied at 2-2 in their series, it could be until Sunday before Miami knows its second-round opponent. That would mean at least a week off for the twotime defending NBA champions. “I’m sure our guys will love it, but the most important thing is that we have the chance to move on,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Miami is the only team that can say that. No other NBA team has closed out its opponent, and only the Heat swept their series. “Nothing is guaranteed,” Spoelstra said. “Some people that are cynical may look at this as a 2-7 (seed) matchup and say they were supposed to win 4-0. It’s not working that way in this league. … We understand how tough it is to win in this league.” They also know how to win titles. It’s the second straight year the Heat swept their opening-round series. “We have been here before, we have learned some lessons from last year, and that is the best part of it,” Chris Bosh said. “I think we will handle it better this time.” In many ways, the Bobcats might have been just what the Heat needed. The Heat were challenged by a hungry Charlotte team, but were never in any real danger of losing the series. So it gave them a chance to dip their feet once again into the playoff waters and the long, grueling run that awaits. “We could tell we are working to get our rhythm back,” Wade said. “They pushed us. They’re a very competitive team, a very scrappy team, but we obviously felt we were the better team.” James said the Heat improved with each passing game. “The biggest thing I’m happy with is the way we protected the ball,” said James, who scored 31 points and had nine assists in closing out the Bobcats. “When we don’t turn it over, we’re able to set our defense up and get good shots.” That was a concern at the end of the season. James said the Heat did a “horrible” job of protecting the ball in March and April. Yet the team that has now won nine straight playoff series was able to flip the switch and win the turnover battle with the Bobcats. “When we don’t turn it over, we give our offense a great chance to succeed and our team a chance to win games,” James said. James was injured in Game 4 when he drove to the basket and his right thigh collided with Bismack Biyombo’s knee. He remained on the ground as concerned teammates gathered around. He said he will be fine for the next round. After the game Monday, James received congratulations from Bobcats owner Michael Jordan, who has two three-peat titles under his belt. James is in search of his first triple this season. “It’s a process, and we’re headed in the right direction,” James said. “This is a great direction after these four games. We played championship-level basketball and that was great. We got tested by a very young and scrappy Bobcats team. The way we responded was a championship attitude.” But he cautioned they will have to play better in the next round. “We can’t win in the next round playing like we did in this round,” James said. “We’re looking forward to finding out who our next opponent is and preparing for them.” In the meantime they will have plenty of time to rest up and think about what must be done to move on to the Eastern Conference finals. “I think it helps,” Udonis Haslem said of the rest. “You want to get through healthy. We did that. Two, you want to get some guys that may be logging major minutes some rest and, you know, help guys take care of some bumps and bruises. And that’s what we were able to do.” Wicked Strong running for Boston in Derby LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Wicked Strong has a built-in fan base for the Kentucky Derby. Like the entire city of Boston. The colt named in honor of the victims of last year’s Boston Marathon bombings figures to be among the favorites for Saturday’s race. He’s got the credentials, having impressively won the Wood Memorial at 9-1 odds. Wicked Strong is owned by a Boston-based partnership that has pledged to donate 5 percent of any money won by the bay colt during the Triple Crown series to the fund set up for the bombing victims. “It’s a neat thing,” trainer Jimmy Jerkens said. “Might be an extra force that will help us, if you believe in that kind of stuff.” Does Jerkens? “Sometimes you do,” he replied. “Things seem to happen like that for some unexplained reason.” Wicked Strong began racing with the name Moyne Spun. Donald Little Jr., who heads the Centennial Farms partnership, didn’t like that moniker and decided to rename the horse with the marathon bombings in mind. His first thought was Boston Strong, but the name was already taken. So the new name became Wicked Strong — giving it a linguistic Boston twist. It seems to fit the onceheadstrong colt, which got away from his handlers a couple times early in his career. That’s why Jerkens keeps a pony waiting to escort Wicked Strong back to the barn after a trip to the track. The colt ranked fourth on the points leaderboard that determines the maximum 20-horse field for the 1 ¼-mile Derby. The victory in the Wood — his first in a stakes race — and the 100 points that went to the winner put him in the Derby picture. “He ran terrific,” Jerkens said of the colt’s 3 ½-length win. “He laid up closer to the pace without any effort, which I thought was great. The pace was really lively and he was sitting up five or six (lengths) off the lead without any effort. He certainly finished up good.” The victory in the Wood was just Wicked Strong’s second in six career races. He will be the first Derby starter for both Centennial Farms, which won the 1993 Belmont Stakes with Colonial Affair, and Jerkens, a 55-year-old son of Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkins. “It’s nerve-wracking, especially when you’re here with only one horse,” the younger Jerkens said. “You’re looking at him so much, you almost start creating problems.” Jerkens has 23 horses in his New York-based stable. He’s currently tied for 16th in the New York Racing Association trainer’s standings, winning at a 25 percent clip. His 85-year-old father tried three times to win the Derby, his best finish being sixth place in 1978 with Sensitive Prince. He sent his son off to Louisville with the advice to treat the Derby like any other race. “A lot of people fall into that trap of second-guessing themselves,” the younger Jerkens said. “You can’t let anybody or anything sway your judgment. Don’t train him any different just because somebody will come up to you and say, ‘So and so went out there and did this with his horse.’ I’m confident in how we’ve handled him so far.” Jerkens thought he had a shot at winning the Derby in 2009 with Quality Road, calling him “the most talented horse I ever put my hands on.” Quality Road won the Florida Derby, but injured his right back foot that day. Later, he hurt his right front foot and missed the Triple Crown series. Less than two months later, the late owner-breeder Edward Evans fired Jerkens and sent Quality Road to trainer Todd Pletcher. Now Jerkens is actually at Churchill Downs with a chance to win, for himself, his father and the city of Boston. His father is nicknamed “The Giant Killer” for his record of big upsets, and Jerkens would like nothing more than to add to the family history. �Wednesday, April 30, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 7 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL LEGALS Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 60498450 Professional & Business Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 Please leave a message Meigs County Job and Family Services (MCJFS) is seeking proposals from qualified organizations or agencies to provide comprehensive client services for Non-Emergency Transportation to and from Medicaid reimbursable services.

Malkin had a hat trick and the Pittsburgh Penguins almost blew a four-goal lead before holding off the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 Monday night to clinch their firstround playoff series in six games. “The last two games were our best of the year, but they certainly made a push, scored goals and kept coming,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “We certainly understand the importance of closing out a game. But the bottom line is we got our third and fourth wins here in Games 5 and 6. And we get to move on.” Pittsburgh awaits the winner of the New York-Philadelphia series, with the Rangers leading 3-2 going into Tuesday night’s Game 6. It appeared the Penguins were ready to board their charter midway through the third period before the Blue Jackets turned the game upside down. Malkin staked them to a big lead that barely stood up. “Going into the second round now, you feel so much better when you have confidence,” said Malkin, who had not scored a goal in his last nine playoff games dating to last season. “I hope in the next round I can score more.” Closer to making tee times than thinking about a Game 7, the Blue Jackets scored three times in a 4:52 span of the third period to turn up the pressure on the Penguins, an overwhelming favorite before the series got underway. “We wanted to leave it all out there,” said Nick Foligno, who won Game 4 with an overtime wrister and then redirected a shot into the net to draw Columbus — down 4-0 midway through the final period — to within a goal with 4:47 left. “We’re a proud team, a team that’s done a lot of good things all year. And we didn’t want to leave here on a bad note.” Fedor Tyutin, Artem Anisimov and Foligno scored for Columbus to energize a crowd of 19,189 that stood and roared throughout the final minutes. “It wasn’t easy seeing 1, 2, 3 go in like that,” said Penguins star Sidney Crosby, who went without a goal and had a plus/minus of -2 for the series. “Everyone just knew the last few minutes we had to find a way to keep it out.” The Penguins were hard pressed to fight off the aggressive Blue Jackets after goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who had 24 saves, was pulled for an extra attacker with under 2 minutes left. Matt Calvert had been just wide with a potential tying shot with 3:30 left. Brandon Dubinsky’s wraparound was deflected by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. “It was a good test,” said Fleury, who was criticized by Penguins fans after early playoff exits in recent years. Fleury ended up with 24 saves. Brandon Sutter also scored a goal before leaving with an injury, and Matt Niskanen had two assists for the Penguins, who became the first team in the series to score first and win — but barely. Malkin hadn’t scored in the first 332:52 of the series, then scored three times in a span of 26:11. “I could see it coming in the morning skate,” teammate James Neal said. “His shot was going into the back of the net.” The Blue Jackets, one of the NHL’s youngest teams, looked hopeless until Tyutin’s shot from the right dot ended Fleury’s shutout streak at 97:26, since the Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead in the first period of Game 5. Then Anisimov scored from the left point and Foligno redirected Tyutin’s shot to cut the lead to 4-3. Pittsburgh survived, all right, although mainstays Sutter and Joe Vitale were injured during the game and did not return. But that’s a worry for another day. Advancing was the big thing. “We’ve got a rivalry going here with the Jackets,” Bylsma said. “They gave us everything we could handle and it was a nice series for them. That was an extremely tough first-round opponent.” Browns’ Hoyer impressive in practice after injury BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Brian Hoyer spent a long, merciless winter in Cleveland rehabbing his right knee so he’d be ready for the day he could run on the field again. He’s never worked harder at anything in his life. The Browns are his team, and have been since he was a little kid. And now that he’s back — not 100 percent, but getting there — the homegrown quarterback, whose promising 2013 season was cut short after only two starts by a serious injury, isn’t about to let go of his dream of leading an NFL team without a fight. Cleveland can draft a franchise quarterback next week. Hoyer believes the Browns already have one. “I know how I feel about myself,” he said. “I know how my teammates feel. I’m trying to go out and prove it to these new coaches and all I can really ask for is a chance and I think I’ll get that. I’m going out there every day, and until someone tells me otherwise, I think I’m the starter for this team.” Six months after surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Hoyer participated in Cleveland’s first voluntary minicamp practice Tuesday to rave reviews. It was a significant step for the 28-year-old, who showed poise and potential in winning his first two starts before he was injured while sliding at the end of scramble against Buffalo. Hoyer was sharp during the portion of practice open to media members. He didn’t show any limitations while making cuts, and displayed nice footwork while firing pinpoint passes. If not for the brace on his right knee, there would have been no evidence Hoyer had been hurt. Following the indoor workout, Hoyer was upbeat and somewhat relieved. “It was awesome,” he said. “I felt really good, which was no surprise to me. I felt like I was prepared for this for a while. It’s just good to play football again.” Hoyer has been cleared to do individual work, but not take part in team drills. The Browns don’t want to take any unnecessary risks with Hoyer. But that didn’t stop him from pleading with new Browns coach Mike Pettine to let him jump behind center during 11-on-11 drills. “He begged me to be able to jump in there for the team stuff and I had to play head coach for a minute and tell him no,” Pettine said. “But again, that’s the way he is. That’s the way he’s made up, ultimate competitor, so I think he firmly believes that it’s his job.” Hoyer spent three sea- sons sitting behind Tom Brady, then made one start during a year in Arizona before getting his shot last year with the Browns. He’s aware Cleveland could use the No. 4 overall pick next week on a quarterback. There’s a chance in a few weeks Hoyer could find himself competing with someone like Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel. How would he react? “Just be myself,” he said. “I have to do what I do on a daily basis and work hard. That’s all I know how to do.” Hoyer isn’t the only quarterback trying to make an impression this week. Vince Young, who hasn’t played in an NFL regular- season game since 2011, has three days to convince the Browns he can help them. The 30-year-old said he’s motivated to resume a career after being sidetracked the past few seasons. “The fire is lit always,” Young said. “One thing a lot of people don’t know, I love this game so much.” Young has been given no guarantees other than he’ll get a chance. He was with Green Bay late last summer, but got released. Young was reluctant to discuss why his pro career has stalled. “I’m just happy to have the opportunity playing for a historic team, a respectful team,” Young said. “It’s a long history for the Browns.
