Among the state’s 88 counties, the April 2014 unemployment rates ranged from a low of 3 percent in Mercer County to a high of 10.7 percent in Monroe County.

Roderick sentenced for kidnapping and gross sexual imposition Former attorney may be placed in ‘lock-down’ facility By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com Students patiently await the receival of their diplomas during Gallia Academy High School’s annual graduation ceremony. Gallia Academy graduates 135 seniors By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The masses packed the gym. Sniffling babies, shuffling feet, camera clicks and clapping were the sounds among the audience Friday night during Gallia Academy High School’s 2014 Commencement ceremony. The evening began with the usual processional as students proudly walked into the gymnasium and took their seats next to one another — possibly for the last time. Roger D. Mace, superintendent of Gallipolis City Schools, gave a welcome speech to all students and their family members, followed by vocal selections from the GAHS Madrigals led by Nattalie Phillips. In a solo performance, Alivia Rucker sang “America the Beautiful.” Next, Josh Donley, principal of Gallia Academy, presented honorary awards. The recipients were Alexandrea Brumfield, Kierstin Stanley, Josh Calvert, Elizabeth Holley, Owen Moore, Tyler Stewart, Ashlee Saunders, Colby Caldwell and Michaelyn Brace. Calvert received the award for most outstanding senior in science and math; Moore received the award for most outstanding senior in social studies; Ben Roach and Saunders both received awards for most outstanding senior in music; Brace received the award for most outstanding senior English; and Tyler Warnimont and Hannah Watts were both given awards for outstanding senior in Athletics. Following individual awards, each senior who received some type of scholarship stood. According to Donley, the amount of total scholarship money as of Tuesday totaled more than $825,000. Any senior who was serving or planned to serve in the armed forces stood and received a standing ovation by all. Lastly, before the handing out of diplomas, many of the students representing the top 10 percent of the class gave short speeches. Brumfield spoke first, and talked about how each person’s lives would completely change, but that everyone would be prepared. “We stand where we are today due to hard work, perseverance, determination,” she said. “It was no mere accident or coincidence that we have accomplished the great things we have as a class this year. It has been the result of our ambition to do our personal best, to persist and to perfect ourselves.” Among the other speakers, Calvert made his speech about his teachers, the school coaches and directors. See GRADUATES | A3 GALLIPOLIS — After entering guilty pleas last month to kidnapping with sexual motivation and gross sexual imposition, among other charges, Richard C. Roderick Jr. was sentenced in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County to five Roderick years of probation and may subsequently be placed in a “secure lock-down treatment facility.” According to a judgment entry filed this past week and signed by Judge Dale A. Crawford, the presiding judge in the case, Roderick, 71, of Gallipolis, “will be referred to Probate Court to determine if the Defendant could be probated and placed in the Timothy B. Moritz Forensic Center, Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare or a similar lock down facility. “It is this Court’s hope that the Probate Court would not release the Defendant from the lock down facility for at least one year,” the entry reads. An indictment against Roderick, a former Gallipolis attorney, was filed late last year and outlines 14 charges: three counts of kidnapping with sexual motivation and sexually violent predator specifications, three counts of rape with sexual motivation and sexually violent predator specifications, two counts of abduction, attempted rape, felonious assault, the possession of criminal tools, which the indictment describes as “various forms of binding and/or torture material and/or instruments,” two counts of failing to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, as well as a misdemeanor assault charge.

Roderick From Page A1 Roderick was arrested on Nov. 23, 2013, by officers with the Gallipolis Police Department following an incident that occurred at his residence in the 200 block of First Avenue in Gallipolis. Reportedly, the Gallia County 911 Center received a call from inside the home and the operator could hear what sounded like an argument in the background. Officers were then dispatched to the residence. Upon arrival, they found the front door of the residence open. Based on information obtained during the call, as well as other recent occurrences, officers believed there was a crime of violence taking place and entered the home. The officers located the residents of the home in a bedroom, and the male, identified as Roderick, was found allegedly attempting to tie up the female and hold her against her will. The suspect was arrested for alleged kidnapping and was transported to the Middleport Jail. The felony failure to comply charges listed on the defendant’s indictment stemmed from an earlier incident in which the defendant allegedly led Gallipolis police on a chase on Oct. 31 from the Gallia County Courthouse parking lot to Mill Creek Road and back to Second Avenue. Working together, the officers reportedly slowed Roderick’s car by braking in front of it. He was later arrested, and, also on Oct. 31, Roderick was charged after he allegedly knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to a health care professional of a hospital during the performance of his duties. The alleged kidnapping of Nov. 23 reportedly occurred while Roderick was out on bond in relation to his earlier fleeing and assault cases. Following his arrest on Nov. 23, Roderick appeared for an initial hearing in the Gallipolis Municipal Court prior to his case being bound over to the common pleas court where it was heard by a grand jury. The state of Ohio in this case has been represented by special prosecutor An- gela Canepa, of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. The defendant has remained in custody following his initial arraignment hearing after the court determined that bond in this case should not be set as “the accused poses a substantial risk of serious physical harm to himself and others in the community and that no release will reasonably assure the safety of that person in the community.” Following proceedings in this case, including a motion by the defense for an evaluation to determine if the defendant was competent to stand trial, a plea agreement was filed earlier this year, and, during a hearing held on April 2, Roderick pleaded guilty to kidnapping with sexual motivation, gross sexual imposition, felonious assault, failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer and assault. After a pre-sentence report was prepared by the Meigs County Common Pleas Court Probation Department, Roderick was sentenced to five years of community control earlier this month. In addition to his probation sentence, the sentencing entry states that Roderick will remain in custody at the Jackson County Jail until the probate court has reviewed the probate application and the appropriate lock-down facility becomes available. Roderick was further ordered to pay a total of $8,500 in fines and was advised that any violation of his probation will lead to a specific prison term: a total of six years for kidnapping, 18 months for gross sexual imposition, four years for felonious “Though our high school years have had their ups and downs, I’m sure we all have a teacher or a coach or two that we will truly miss,” he said. Following speeches given by each student seated on stage, Robert Cornwell, a GAHS alumnus, spoke to students about joining the GAHS Alumni Association about five years after graduating high school. Finally, it was time for students to receive their diplomas courtesy of Mace, followed by the alma mater song sung by Roach. Lastly, Colby Caldwell, senior class president, announced the changing of the tassels, and the students, proud and finished, left the ceremony to the sound of “Fanfare and Recessional.” This year’s graduating seniors are as follows: Halley Alberts, Taylor R.

The immigration By E.J. Dionne If you want a prime example of what’s wrong with our politics, study the response to the veterans’ health care scandal. You would think from the coverage that the only issue that mattered to politicians was whether Gen. Eric Shinseki should be fired. Shinseki is a true patriot, and his resignation as Veterans Affairs secretary on Friday calls Congress’ bluff. He played his part in a Washington sacrificial ritual. Will the politicians now be honorable enough to account for their own mistakes? Thanks to Shinseki’s latest selfless act for his country, you can at least hope that we will move on to the underlying questions here, to wit: Why was the shortage of primary care doctors in the VA system not highlighted much earlier? Why did it take a scandal to make us face up to the vast increase in the number of veterans who need medical attention? And why don’t we think enough about how abstract budget numbers connect to the missions we’re asking government agencies to carry out? It’s an election year, so it’s not surprising that the Republicans are using the vets scandal against President Obama and the Democrats, though there is a certain shamelessness about the ads they’ve been running, given the failures of the previous administration. Shinseki and Obama might have averted this by pushing Congress much harder, much earlier to give the agency the tools it needed to do right by vets. And as a general matter, I wish Obama spent more time than he has on fixing government and improving administration. Progressives rightly assert that active, competent government can make things better — which means they need to place a high priority on making it work better. This would include, as The Washington Post editorialized, a serious engagement with civil service reform. It’s also fair to ask why Shinseki did not move faster elsewhere, notably on what the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America called the department’s “egregious failure to process the claims of our veterans” in a timely and effective way. (For what it’s worth, I raised this concern in a column in November 2012.) But this is where the story gets more complicated. Shinseki eventually made real progress on the claims issue and other inherited messes. He got little public credit, though many friends of veterans saw him as a reformer and refused to join the resignation chorus. Both House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi deserve praise for insisting to the end that Shinseki’s departure wouldn’t solve the system’s problems. The most important of these is not that VA employees falsified data about the excessive waiting times for veterans seeking appointments with doctors, as outrageous as this was. It is, as The New York Times reported last week, “an acute shortage of doctors, particularly primary care ones, to handle a patient population swelled both by aging veterans from the Vietnam War and younger ones who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Dealing with this isn’t sexy, just essential. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee who wanted Shinseki to stay, is trying to push the discussion in the right direction. A Sanders bill to expand VA funding across a wide range of areas went down in a Republican filibuster last February. The new bill he hopes will come up for a vote this week focuses specifically on the health system. It would authorize private care for veterans facing emergencies, which is similar a House Republican idea. But Sanders would also broaden access for veterans to other forms of government health care, fund 27 new VA facilities, and use scholarships or loan forgiveness to entice medical students to serve in the VA program. Shinseki himself proposed other reforms in a speech he gave just before he quit, among them an end to incentives that have encouraged agency supervisors to produce fake information on waiting times. If there is any cause that should be bipartisan, it’s care for our veterans. But too often, what passes for bipartisanship is the cheap and easy stuff. It tells you how political this process has been so far that so many of the Democrats who joined Republicans in asking for Shinseki to go are in tough election races this fall. Now that Shinseki is gone, there are no excuses for avoiding the administrative challenges that Obama needs to confront and the policy errors for which Congress must also take responsibility. Emptiness in President Obama’s West Point speech By Charles Krauthammer tered in Syria’s civil war, unprotected in any way by the United States. Nor for that matter do you hear much about Libya, now so dangerously chaotic and jihadi-infested that the State Department is telling Americans to get out. And you didn’t hear much of anything in the West Point speech. It was a somber parade of straw men, as the president applauded himself for steering the nation on a nervy middle course between extreme isolationism and madcap interventionism. It was the rhetorical equivalent of that classic national security joke in which the presidential aide, devoted to policy option X, submits the following decision memo: Option 1. All-out nuclear war. Option 2. Unilateral surrender. Option 3. Policy X. It is fitting that the day beThe isolationism of fore President Obama gives Obama’s telling is a species his grand West Point address not to be found anywhere. defending the wisdom and Not even Rand Paul would prudence of his foreign poliwithdraw from everywhere. cy, his government should be And even members of Conurging Americans to evacugress’ dovish left have called ate Libya. for sending drones to NigeLibya, of course, was ria, for God’s sake. once the model Obama As for Obama’s intervenintervention — the exquitionists, they are grotesquely sitely calibrated military described as people “who engagement wrapped in the think military intervention rhetorical extravagance of a is the only way for America nationally televised address to avoid looking weak” while proclaiming his newest forObama courageously refuses eign policy doctrine (they to believe that “every probchange to fit the latest ad lem has a military solution.” hoc decision): the responsiName one person who bility to protect. does.

Amid all this, Obama seems unaware of how far his country has fallen. He attributes claims of American decline to either misreading history or partisan politics. Problem is: Most of the complaints are coming from abroad, from U.S. allies with no stake whatsoever in U.S. partisan politics. Their concern is their own security as they watch this president undertake multiple abdications from Warsaw to Kabul. What is the world to think when Obama makes the case for a residual force in Afghanistan — “after all the sacrifices we’ve made, we want to preserve the gains that you have helped to win” — and then announce a drawdown of American forces to 10,000, followed by total liquidation within two years on a fixed timetable regardless of circumstances? The policy contradicts the premise. If you want not to forfeit our terribly hardearned gains — as we forfeited all our gains in Iraq with the 2011 withdrawal — why not let conditions dictate the post-2014 drawdowns? Why go to zero — precisely by 2016? For the same reason, perhaps, that the Afghan surge was ended precisely in 2012, in the middle of the fighting season — but before the November election. A 2016 Afghan end date might help Democrats electorally and, occurring with Obama still in office, provide a shiny new line to his resume. Is this how a great nation decides matters of war and peace — to help one party and polish the reputation of one man? As with the West Point speech itself, as with the president’s entire foreign policy of retreat, one can only marvel at the smallness of it all. reform stall By Esther Cepeda If the current standoff on immigration reform isn’t the very model of Washington intractability, I don’t know what is. Let’s understand the moment: President Obama delayed the Department of Homeland Security’s review to determine what the administration can do by way of executive action so that Republicans can have the space they need to pass their own reform package this summer, maybe. This happened on the same day the news broke that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s re-election campaign had sent out mailers highlighting his role in “stopping the Obama-Reid plan to give illegal aliens amnesty.” Perhaps Obama’s move is a brilliantly Manichaean strategy to ensure that, once the Republicans again fail to agree to any immigration reform that will douse Latino voter ire, he can swoop in with crowd-pleasing deferrals of his administration’s historic rate of deportations. Or, maybe it’s just plain stupid. Recently I would have bet the Obama administration would soon be using the DHS review as a platform for announcing some expansive executive decision that would also, coincidentally, please his Latino and immigrant supporters. The increasingly hysterical prognostications that the Democrats are going to get buried in the upcoming midterm elections were gaining traction. As recently as May 15, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was on PBS’ “NewsHour” assuring viewers that the controversial Secure Communities program — in which local law enforcement authorities work with federal immigration officials on removal cases — required a “fresh start” and that he had “talked to a number of individuals, concerned groups about the potential for expanding the DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] program, revising our removal priorities.” But Johnson followed this with a firm, “And I would say that we have to be careful not to pre-empt Congress in certain areas. They are the lawmakers. Whatever we do in the executive branch, we have to do within the confines of existing law.” This sounded like a disclaimer that things could still go either way. Now it seems unavoidable that, ultimately, neither party will do anything to pass immigration reform. If the disappointment expressed by avowed Obama acolytes is any indication, even a 180-degree turn from giving Republicans time to compromise — and pivoting to, for instance, suspending all deportation activity — will harm not only the president but all Democrats for some time to come. The frustration palpable in the parade of exhausted and outraged statements that flowed out of some of the largest immigrant advocacy organizations was damning. “The president says that he is giving House Republicans enough space to pass immigration reform in this session of Congress,” says Lawrence Benito, CEO of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. “But for thousands of families who will be torn apart in the coming weeks, simply hoping House Republicans will act on immigration reform is nothing more than an empty promise.” Other statements spoke of Republicans’ ongoing baseless excuses but, most often, reflected deep disappointment that the Obama administration is taking seemingly regressive steps. “Dreamers,” those young activists who might have been eligible for relief under the proposed Dream Act but then vowed to fight for deportation relief for all unlawfully present immigrants, were especially furious. “It is a betrayal to the community to try to give the White House cover,” Lorella Praeli, director of policy and advocacy with United We Dream, told BuzzFeed, referring to advocacy organizations who urged the Obama administration to continue pursuing a bipartisan legislative compromise. “It is a betrayal to say we’re going to put your lives on hold and continue to risk you and your family and give space to Republicans who have yet to show up on this issue. Both parties have played politics with our families for too long and any advocacy organization that is complicit with that has to be held accountable.” It would be simplistic to believe this tenuous and unsatisfying set of left-right strategic ploys could end up having a fully positive outcome for anyone. A moderate Republican compromise on some of the thorniest immigration points — such as a wide-ranging legalization — would roil an already divided party and, worse, sow an even angrier brand of anti-immigrant rhetoric going into the 2016 elections. And an Obama deferred-action-for-everyone scheme will leave Latinos with the foul taste that comes with being used as political pawns. And everyone else? They’ll have justification for distrusting politicians and Washington even more. �Sunday, June 1, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î�� Obituaries VERDONNA J. ‘SIS’ SLAUGHTER JOHN L.

"The Californica. "Demimonde" Lady With the "30 Minutes Lamp" or Less" will succumb to complications of kidney disease. Phillips’ latest request to Gov. John Kasich’s office was filed this month. A spokesman for Kasich confirmed Friday that it was received but didn’t comment further. Phillips, 40, is out of appeals. He was sentenced to die for the rape and death of Sheila Marie Evans, his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter, in Akron in 1993. Lisa Lagos, one of Phillips’ attorneys, said they are hopeful the state will work with them on the reprieve request. “We all have the same goal, just trying to get the best outcome,” Lagos said. “You know, this execution is going to happen no matter what. … As the governor said, if a life can be saved, that should be allowed to happen.” The prison system rejected the last-minute organ donation request Phillips made in November, but Kasich delayed his execution until July 2 to give the state time to see whether it was possible to comply. The state concluded it wasn’t feasible, saying Phillips didn’t have time to undergo surgery and recuperate by the execution. The prisons department said it has an obligation to make sure he is healthy, despite the fact he would be put to death. Phillips’ execution was rescheduled this week to Sept. 18 after a judge ordered a 2 ½-month moratorium on Ohio executions to allow time for arguments over new lethal injection procedures. Lagos said the date change doesn’t affect the reprieve request. She said Phillips’ mother must lose weight before she could safely have transplant surgery and has started the process of pursuing bariatric surgery to achieve that. The requested delay would allow time for that surgery, the transplant surgery and Phillips’ recovery, Lagos said. Kasich previously denied an organ donation request by condemned inmate Dennis McGuire on grounds that McGuire couldn’t identify a relative who would receive his organs, as required under prison policy. McGuire was executed Jan. 16 and repeatedly gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die. The state subsequently decided to increase dosages of its lethal injection drugs to allay concerns but maintains that the process was constitutional and that McGuire didn’t experience pain or distress. Cancer From Page A5 Alan List, president and CEO of Moffitt, said potential breakthroughs have been stalled because cancer centers have lacked an efficient way to share insight. “Even more frustrating, until today, we’ve had no system to quickly match cancer patients from anywhere in the country with ongoing clinical research with the most potential to help them,” List said. “By partnering with Ohio State University … we’ve built a cancer-research expressway.” The Moffitt Cancer Center, like Ohio State, is one of 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S. The two institutions say the collaborative will seek partnerships with other cancer centers in North America. It also will allow opportunities for researchers to work with pharmaceutical companies to better match potential candidates for drug trials. BEST PRICED T REN BOOTS BUY IT AROUND!

I tell people that an “Adopted fawn is a dead fawn.” Yes I am sure you know situations where such was not the case, but the truth of the matter is that most wildlife adoptions don’t end well for the animal or for the humans. Furthermore in Ohio it is illegal to take in a wild animal baby; you do not have the right to try to raise a wild animal. These laws are in place to protect wildlife, humans and domestic animals by reducing the spread of disease or from keeping wild animals that have lost their fear of humans from becoming dangerous. I am not familiar with the laws in West Virginia but I imagine are similar restrictions there. If you find a baby deer, leave it where it is, or return it to the wild so that its mother (or perhaps another doe) can take care of it. If the fawn is not injured there is a good chance its mother is nearby but keeping out of sight of dangerous predators – you! If the fawn is in your yard, keep your dogs and children away from it and just leave it alone, eventually its mother will realize it wasn’t a good hiding spot and move it. Wildlife rehabilitators in Ohio are no longer allowed to take in whitetail deer fawns. So in a case where you know the mother deer has been killed the only hope is for another doe to take the fawn; you aren’t allowed to raise it. Nature can be harsh, but keep in mind that deer are essentially prey animals that provide meals for predators – their babies have to eat too! However there are things you can do, like take care when mowing in tall grass or hay, especially around field edges, since whitetail deer fawns may be laying concealed in the tall grass. If you find a baby bird on the ground, it is OK to put it back into its nest. In most cases, wild animal mothers will not abandon their young because a human has handled it. If you don’t see a nest, place the bird in a nearby bush. Nests of baby rabbits are occasionally found in yards. Again, keep your dogs or cats away from the nest, or place a board on top of some blocks covering it allowing enough room for the mother rabbit to reach her babies. Baby rabbits do not stay in the nest for long. The good news is that in a few short weeks these baby animals will be big enough to fend for themselves. The 10th Leading Creek Watershed Day Camp will be held June 11-12 at the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area on New Lima Road between Rutland and Harrisonville. Limited spaces are still available for this free outdoor-themed camp which is geared towards children ages nine through 14. To register or for more information contact Jenny Ridenour at the Meigs SWCD, weekdays at 740-992-4282 or via e-mail at jenny.ridenour@oh.nacdnet.net The 25th annual Ohio River Sweep will be held Saturday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to noon at locations along the Ohio River from Illinois to Pennsylvania including Meigs and Gallia counties in Ohio, and Mason County, W.Va. River Sweep, sponsored by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and Foundation for Ohio River Education (FORE) is an annual river bank cleanup for the Ohio River and its tributaries. Throughout the years it has grown into one of the largest events of its kind encompassing almost 3,000 miles of shoreline from Pittsburgh, PA to Cairo, Ill. Generally participants get a free t-shirt and lunch for their efforts to beautify the banks of the Ohio River.

Locals end season at D-3 boys regional meet By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RUSHVILLE, Ohio — All good things must come to an end. The 2014 season officially ended for the boys programs at Eastern, Southern and South Gallia Friday night following the conclusion of the Division III Region 11 Track and Field Championships being held on the campus of Fairfield Union High School in Fairfield County. Neither the Eagles, the Tornadoes nor the Rebels had an athlete advance to next week’s state meet, as only Eastern managed to reach an event final and score a team point at the regional event. EHS finished in a four-way tie with Gahanna Christian Academy, Northmor and Portsmouth Clay for 29th place with four points. Columbus Academy captured the D-3 boys crown with 70 points, followed by runner-up Grandview Heights with 59 points. Berne Union was third out of 40 scoring teams with 51 points. Eastern senior Brent Welch was the lone local to earn a podium finish after placing fifth in the discus event with a throw of 140 feet, 6 inches. Welch missed a top-four finish — and a state berth — by four and a half feet. The quartet of Daschle Facemyer, Jett Facemyer, Clayton Ritchie and Tanner Palmer came up short of the finals in two relay events. The foursome finished 11th in the 4x400m relay with a time of 3:43.19 and was also 12th in the 4x200m relay with a mark of 1:38.16. Daschle Facemyer also missed the final of the 400m dash after placing 13th overall with a mark of 54.83 seconds. Isiah Geiger competed in two events and was the lone representative for SGHS. Geiger was ninth in the 100m dash with a time of 11.78 and placed 10th overall in the 200m dash with a mark of 24.27 seconds. Southern’s lone representative, Bradley McCoy, finished 15th in the 800m run with a time of 2:12.32.

The Eastern girls will be sending four athletes to the state meet in four different events following the completion of the 2014 Division III Region 11 Track and Field Championships Friday night on the campus of Fairfield Union High School in Fairfield County. The Lady Eagles advanced to Jesse Owens Stadium next weekend in two relays and two individual events, and three other athletes just missed out on qualifying after placing fifth in three separate contests. The top-four finishers in each event advance to the state level. The quartet of Keri Lawrence, Laura Pullins, Taylor Palmer and Maddie Rigsby are headed to state in both relays as the foursome finished second in the 4x800m (9:35.92) event and third in the 4x400m (4:02.98) event. Pullins advanced to state in the high jump after placing second overall with a leap of 5 feet, 4 inches. Lawrence also qualified for state after finishing fourth in the 800m run (2:18.86) and placed 15th overall in the 100m hurdles with a time of 19.64 seconds. One of the three fifth-place efforts came from athletes that qualified for state a year ago in the same event, and all three fifth-place finishes came from seniors. Cassidy Cleland was fifth in the discus with a throw of 119 feet even, which was farther than her state qualifying throw a year ago. Rigsby was fifth in the 800m run with a time of 2:22.44 and she also missed a third straight berth in the high jump after tying for seventh place with Olivia Hipp of Norwalk St. Paul with a height of 5 feet, 2 inches. Katie Keller was fifth in the shot put event with a throw of 36 feet, 7 inches and missed moving on by an inch and a half. Keller was also 12th in the discus final with a heave of 103 feet, 7 inches. Eastern’s Laura Pullins (4) takes off after a baton exchange from Taylor Palmer, right, during the 4x400m relay qualifier held Wednesday at Fairfield Union High School in Rushville, Ohio. Asia Michael was ninth in the 3200m run with a time of 12:29.49, while Palmer finished ninth in the 1600m run with a mark of 5:32.24. Kelsey Johnson was also 12th overall in the long jump with a distance of 14 feet, 6.5 inches. Eastern finished sixth out of 43 scoring teams with 40.5 points. Columbus School for Girls won the Region 11 title with 70 points, while Columbus Academy and Africentric rounded out the top three with respective tallies of 57 and 45 points.

(AP) — Fourtime NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon said Friday he will have to retire if he continues to suffer the same, excruciating back pain that he did before last weekend’s Coca-Cola 600. The 42-year-old Gordon is in no hurry to slow down. But he said he hopes he has found some solutions to the back woes that nearly forced him out of NASCAR’s longest race. Gordon cut short his practice runs last week because of back spasms and there was some concern whether or not he would be able to race. Regan Smith was on standby and Gordon needed treatment after the practice session. But he wound up in his familiar seat behind the wheel of the No. 24 and finished seventh, his ninth top10 finish in 12 races this season. Gordon knows consistent, shooting pain like he suffered at Charlotte Motor Speedway could drive him toward an early retirement. “I can tell you, if that happens many more times, I won’t have a choice,” Gordon said Friday at Dover Motor Speedway. Gordon had soreness Monday and Tuesday, though that didn’t deviate too much from how he would feel after driving 600 grueling miles. He said his back is not at 100 percent, and probably never will be behind the wheel. At Daytona this year, Gordon insisted he was serious about considering retirement should he win a fifth championship. He looks every bit a title contender — he has a win and holds the points lead — and gutting out Charlotte proved to his Hendrick Motorsports team “it’s going to take a lot to get us down.” Gordon suffered serious issues years ago in his back, specifically his lower spine, and needed antiinflammatory medication and workouts with a trainer to return to full strength. He drove in pain during a winless 2008 season and briefly contemplated retirement. For all his back woes, Gordon said he never felt the stabbing pain there like he did last weekend. Gordon said he’ll make adjustments to his race weekend routine to keep his back loose to withstand hours crunched in a stock car. He needs to stay active and not sit during lengthy breaks in practice and qualifying. Gordon sat more than three hours last week between practice and qualifying, a gap that left he believed led his creaky back to a breakdown. “Once that happened, there was nothing that was going to fix it until I had those injections on Saturday,” he said. Gordon has no standby driver at Dover. He felt fine on Friday. But once inside the No. 24, all bets are off. “It’s just something I continue to learn and push through,” he said. “It’s no big deal.” �2?Dî4966Cî@?î+)î-@C=5î�FAîE62>î:?î*:>6Dî)BF2C6 World Cup final followed by Dempsey lifting the trophy. “It’s wonderful because it gives you a sense that we’re getting closer and closer to the World Cup,” said U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who as a player helped Germany win the 1990 tournament. “You just count the days. You want to get down there and get this thing started.” The Americans have home exhibition games against Turkey on Sunday at Harrison, New Jersey, and Nigeria on June 7 at Jacksonville, Florida. They leave the following day for Brazil and their seventh straight World Cup appearance. In perhaps the toughest first-round group, they open June 16 in Natal with a Bloomsday game against Ghana, the nation that eliminated the U.S. in the last two World Cups. Klinsmann said “it’s pretty much like a knockout game” and “we want we want to make them clear stepping on the field that it’s our game.” “We got to look at a payback. We’ve got to make sure we get the right result,” Dempsey said, sparking chants of “Beat Ghana!” Six days later, the Americans play Portugal and FIFA Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo in the Amazon jungle city of Manaus. “It’s going to be all of us trying to get around Ronaldo, pressure him, make him give up the ball,” said goalkeeper Tim Howard, a former teammate of the star forward on Manchester United. The U.S. closes the group stage on June 26 in the northern beach city of Recife against threetime champion Germany, which defeated the Americans in the first round in 1998 — with Klinsmann scoring — and in a 2002 quarterfinal. The U.S. has the most travel of the 32 teams, needing to go more than 9,000 miles in trips from its training base in Sao Paulo. “We believe that we can do it,” Dempsey said. “We believe that if we’re playing the best of our abil- ity and we show our true quality that we do have the tools necessary to get out of the group.” ESPN analyst Alexi Lalas, a defender on the U.S. team at the 1994 and 1998 World Cups, provoked boos from the crowd. Speaking with most of the players about 10 feet away, Lalas said “while I love and respect them, I don’t think they get out of the group.” Taylor Twellman, another ESPN analyst who played for the U.S. national team, agreed with Lalas. American career scoring leader Landon Donovan, among seven players cut by Klinsmann eight days earlier, was repeatedly brought up by ESPN announcers during the show. Klinsmann also was asked about his selection of 18-year-old winger Julian Green, who has had just six minutes of first-team 50% Vera Bradley OFF Summer Sale Over 500 Pieces to Choose From The (740) 446-3484 30% OFF GALLIA COUNTY VETS & FAMILIES Picnic Luncheon Honoring WWII Vets Saturday, June 7th 2:00-5:00 @ AMVETS BLDG, 108 Liberty St, Gallipolis Sponsored By: AMVETS Post 23 & DAV Chapter 141 All Gallia County Vets and Families Welcome! 60509056 60509238 experience with Bayern Munich. “We believe as of today that if we have to bring him (in), he will be able to make a difference,” Klinsmann said. “He has the talent and he has the guts to do that.” NOTES: At a news conference before the rally, Dempsey said his groin felt better and he was on track to start Sunday.

Cleveland’s Pro Bowl wide receiver, facing a possible NFL suspension for another failed drug test, was ticketed for speeding last weekend and a passenger in his car was cited for marijuana possession. Gordon was pulled over for driving 74 mph in a 60 mph zone on May 25, WKYC-TV reported Friday. According to the report, the passenger in Gordon’s Mercedes was issued a citation for possession of marijuana in an amount under 200 grams. The marijuana was found in a blue bag with identification. The passenger said the marijuana was not Gordon’s. Browns general manager Ray Farmer issued a statement regarding Gordon’s latest issue. “We are gathering information regarding the situation,” Farmer said. “We will not have any further comment until the appropriate time.” Gordon’s pending case is posted online on the Berea Municipal Court docket. It says Gordon showed proof $��î@H?6CDîE@îG@E6î@?îD2=6î@7î�=:AA6CD LOS ANGELES (AP) — The NBA has called off a hearing to oust embattled Los Angeles Clippers co-owner Donald Sterling in advance of a vote on a potentially record-breaking deal negotiated by his wife Shelly Sterling to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion. The announcement by the NBA came as Donald Sterling’s attorneys filed suit in a Los Angeles federal court against the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver asking for damages in excess of $1 billion. The suit alleges that the league violated Sterling’s constitutional rights by relying on information from an “illegal” recording that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also says the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million for those remarks and that it violated antitrust laws by forcing a sale. Shelly Sterling, who is a coowner, negotiated the deal to sell to Ballmer late Thursday despite objections expressed through her estranged husband Donald Sterling’s attorneys. She was able to do so, however, because Donald Sterling was stripped of his ability to act as a co-trustee of the family’s fortunes, including the Clippers, after two neurologists determined he was suffering from dementia earlier this month, according to a person close to the Sterling family. The individual, who is familiar with the trust and the medical evaluations but wasn’t authorized to speak publicly, said Sterling was deemed “mentally incapacitated” according to the trust’s conditions because he showed “an inability to conduct business affairs in a reasonable and normal manner.” “There is specific language and there are protocols about what to do, and steps in order to get a sole trustee position and that’s what took place in the last couple of days,” the individual said. Even so, the lawsuit filed Friday still identifies Donald Sterling as a co-trustee. His attorney, Bobby Samini, would only say that “the assertion that Donald Sterling lacks mental capacity is absurd”; he declined to otherwise discuss the issue. Sterling can try to reinstate his trusteeship by appealing to the California Probate Court. of insurance when he was stopped and that he did not have any warrants. He is due to appear in court on June 4. The traffic stop comes as the Browns are awaiting news whether Gordon will be available to play this season. The talented 23-year-old was suspended two games last season for failing a drug test and still led the league with 1,664 yards receiving. Earlier this month, ESPN reported that Gordon, who entered the league with a history of substance-abuse problems, failed another drug test, which could result in a oneyear ban. Gordon has been practicing with the Browns as he awaits word from the league. Gordon has declined to comment at the workouts that have been open to the media the past two weeks. Last year, Gordon was convicted of two traffic offenses after pleading no contest in court. He was ticketed twice for speeding, once for driving 98 mph. He paid $296 in fines and court costs. Former Browns coach Rob Chudzinski spoke to Gordon about his actions. !J=6î�FD49îH:?Dî*CF4<î )6C:6DîC246î2Eî�@G6C DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kyle Busch climbed out of his truck, bowed to the crowd, and sprayed beverages at his crew. Busch has the familiar victory celebration down pat — a perfect end to what has been a perfect season. Busch made it 4 for 4 in the Truck Series, dominating again to win at Dover International Speedway. He was again the class of the field on Friday and now has a checkered flag at Dover to go along with ones from Daytona, Kansas and Charlotte. “I don’t know that there’s anything I can say that I’m doing that’s allowing us to win those races,” Busch said. “Just unload and expect to win races.” Cruising in the No. 51 Toyota, Busch led 150 of 200 laps on the mile track. Busch won from the pole for the third time, his lone blemish a seventh-place start at the season-opener at Daytona. “I’ve enjoyed being able to run up front and lead laps,” Busch said. Busch won his fifth straight Truck Series race overall, taking the 2013 season finale at Homestead. He has 39 series victories. “We’re just trying to work on our stuff and make it faster,” he said. “All that work is paying off this year.” Busch does not a run a full season, but has won every race he entered. He can make it a tripleheader sweep with a win in Saturday’s Nationwide race and Sunday’s Cup race. Winning a Truck race was a nice start. “They’re fun to drive, but they’re certainly a challenge to drive, especially here,” he said. Matt Crafton, the defending series champion, won the only other Truck race at Martinsville. He was running second when he smacked the Dover wall with about 43 laps left, ending his race. It was the first time he hadn’t finished in 47 series starts. Ryan Blaney was second, and Johnny Sauter, Brandon Jones and Joey Coulter round out the top five. Only seven trucks finished on the lead lap. “I don’t think anyone was going to catch the 51,” Blaney said. “He was something else.” Busch will skip the next two series races and return for the June 26 race at Kentucky. Always confident his abilities, Busch said finishing undefeated was “feasible.” “We’ve beat him,” Sauter said. “We’ve beat him at different racetracks in the past. Kyle’s a great racecar driver, we all know that. We also know he’s not unbeatable. I’m pretty confident we can catch him.” Southern Local Wellness Center Healthcare for All Ages M-F 7:30am - 4pm (while school is in session) Phone: (740) 949-2348 • Fax: (740) 949-2536 s 7E CAN ADJUST FEES BASED ON FAMILY SIZE � INCOME �IF QUALIlED s 3LIDING FEE SCALE s -OST INSURANCE � (-/�S ACCEPTED s /HIO -EDICAID APPROVED Welcoming students, staff & community Operated by Wirt County Health Services Association, Inc. Shelly Sterling said in a statement late Thursday that she had agreed to sell the team to Ballmer “under her authority as the sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers.” The NBA said in a statement Friday that the league, Shelly Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust had “resolved their dispute over the ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers.” “Under the agreement, the Clippers will be sold to Steve Ballmer, pending approval by the NBA Board of Governors, and the NBA will withdraw its pending charge to terminate the Sterlings’ ownership of the team,” it said. More importantly for the NBA, given the suit, the league said that Shelly Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust also “agreed not to sue the NBA and to indemnify the NBA against lawsuits from others, including Donald Sterling.” That means whatever monetary damages Donald Sterling may receive under the suit — filed by his attorney Maxwell Blecher on behalf of Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust — may go out one pocket and back in the other unless he is reinstated as a trustee and can nullify the agreement. The medical evaluation was made earlier this month when Donald Sterling made voluntary visits to two prominent neurologists who conducted extensive tests, including brain scans, the individual said. Though Donald Sterling is no longer a co-trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, he still retains his 50 percent ownership and still receives proceeds from the sale, the individual said. But Donald Sterling is still fighting, filing suit in U.S. District Court and asking for damages in excess of $1 billion as well as termination of the fine and the reinstatement of former longtime Clippers CEO Andy Roeser. “Mr. Sterling’s lawsuit is predictable, but entirely baseless,” NBA general counsel Rick Buchanan said. “Among other infirmities, there was no “forced sale” of his team by the NBA — which means his antitrust and conversion claims are completely invalid. Since it was his wife Shelly Sterling, and not the NBA, that has entered into an agreement to sell the Clippers, Mr. Sterling is complaining about a set of facts that doesn’t even exist.” The ownership hearing had 30 Sycamore Street Gallipolis, Ohio 60506024 WHERE GREAT SERVICE AND CUSTOMER LOYALTY ARE ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS been scheduled for next Tuesday after the NBA charged Sterling with damaging the league with his racist comments that were recorded and released. A threequarters vote of owners to support the charge would have terminated the Sterlings’ ownership, and the league would have sold the team. Donald Sterling’s attorneys still contend, however, that as a coowner he must also give his consent for the deal to go through. They say he won’t be giving it. Samini said he’ll fight to not sell because of the NBA’s conduct and that’s why he’s filing suit. But the league said the sale agreement is binding and is going ahead with the approval process for Ballmer. Ballmer said in a statement that he is honored to have his name submitted to the NBA for approval and thanked the league for working collaboratively with him throughout the process. The price has blown past previous offers for an NBA team. “Obviously, I saw $2 billion. That gave me a reaction,” said Miami Heat star LeBron James, who had been vocal in calling for both Sterlings to be out of the league. “That was a reaction for sure. But as far as everything else, I haven’t quite dived into it. … Any time a ‘B’ goes after a number, man, you already know that you’re talking about some real money.” This is not Ballmer’s first foray into potential NBA ownership. Ballmer and investor Chris Hansen headed a group that agreed to a deal to buy the Kings from the Maloof family in January 2013 with the intention of moving the team to Seattle, where the SuperSonics played until 2008. But Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson lobbied the NBA for time to put together a bid to keep the team in California, and though the Ballmer-Hansen group later increased its offer, owners voted to deny the bid for relocation and the Kings were sold to Vivek Ranadive. Johnson, who has been advising the NBA Players Association in the wake of Sterling’s comments, praised Ballmer in a series of tweets Friday night. “When the Clips play next season, players will be proud to wear the logo on their chest & fans will be proud to cheer for their hometown team,” Johnson wrote. �&î)A@CEDî�C:67D Arizona extends Rodriguez’s contract 2 years TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2019 that will raise his base salary to $1.9 million. The extension must be approved by the Arizona Board of Regents when it meets June 5-6. Rodriguez has led the Wildcats to a pair of 8-5 seasons and two bowl wins since arriving in Tucson. Rodriguez will receive $500,000 for peripheral duties like radio and TV appearances, and has numerous performance incentives, including $1 million for a national title and $300,000 for a Pac-12 championship. Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne also has agreed to a one-year contract extension through 2019 that will raise his base salary to $725,000 by the end of the deal. Miller, Arizona agree to 1-year extension TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona and coach Sean Miller have agreed on a one-year contract extension that will raise his base salary to $1.6 million for the final year of the deal. The extension must be approved by the Arizona Board of Regents at its meetings June 5-6. Miller has helped resurrect Arizona’s program, leading the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament four times, including two trips to the Elite Eight. Miller signed a one-year extension through 2018 last June. He would receive a $100,000 raise in 2019 under the extension and have numerous academic and performance incentives, including $500,000 for a national title and $200,000 for a team cumulative grade-point average of 3.0. Miller also is paid more than $1 million annually for peripheral duties and from sponsorship deals. 60509849 TIRES & BRAKES 740-441-1199 Sunday, June 1, 2014 We’re specialists in comparing insurance companies and rates for busy people.

Browns add Morocco Brown to front office CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns have hired Morocco Brown to serve as their vice president of player personnel. Brown spent the past six seasons as director of pro personnel for the Redskins. With Washington, he was responsible for coordinating advance scouting, participated in draft preparation and evaluated all professional leagues for potential free agents and trade prospects. He was instrumental in signing wide receiver Pierre Garcon, who led the NFL in receptions in 2013. Browns general manager Ray Farmer called Brown “a tireless worker … a young, vibrant thinker, a detail-oriented, direct communicator who isn’t restricted to operating under antiquated methods.” Brown also worked in Chicago’s front office from 2001-07. He played at North Carolina State, where he was a captain as a senior. He entered the pros as a scouting intern with Indianapolis in 2000. Cavaliers to interview Lue, Gentry CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers are working their way down the Los Angeles Clippers’ bench to maybe find their next coach. The team will interview Clippers assistants Tyronn Lue and Alvin Gentry over the next two days for their coaching job, a person with knowledge of the meetings told The Associated Press. Lue, who has spent the past four seasons working under Doc Rivers in Boston and Los Angeles, is meeting with the Cavs on Thursday and Gentry is scheduled to sit down with the Cavs on Friday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting during its search. The Cavaliers are looking for their third coach in three years after firing Mike Brown — for the second time — this month following a 33-49 season. The team interviewed Chicago assistant Adrian Griffin on Tuesday and is expected to interview former Memphis coach Lionel Hollins. The 37-year-old Lue played 11 seasons in the NBA for seven teams. He retired following the 2008 season with Orlando. A pesky defender as a player, Lue worked in the Celtics’ front office from 2009-11 before joining Rivers’ staff. The Cavs are being meticulous in their search. After firing Byron Scott following the 2012-13 season, owner Dan Gilbert rushed to re-hire Brown, who guided Cleveland to the NBA finals in 2007 but was dismissed following the 2010 season. The Cavs’ job became more attractive recently after the club won the NBA draft lottery for the second straight year and third time in four seasons. 60509955 NT RE IT BU Y IT IF YOU NEED IT, WE’VE GOT IT!

(AP) — Brad Keselowski is getting used to racing out front, turning a track-record lap of 164.444 mph to win the pole at Dover International Speedway. Keselowski won his second pole of the season Friday on the mile track and fifth of his career. He also has six starts from second this season, making him one of the top frontrow performers in NASCAR. “It’s been a good year for qualifying,” Keselowski said, “And I would say most years, that has not been the case.” Keselowski and his Team Penske teammate Joey Logano have figured out fast qualifying in their Fords. Kyle Busch starts second, and Logano, eight-time Dover winner Jimmie Johnson and rookie Kyle Larson round out the top five for Sunday’s race. Series points leader Jeff Gordon was sixth, followed by Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers and Clint Bowyer. Bowyer turned 35 on Friday. With only 43 cars entered, every driver qualified for the 400-mile race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was knocked out in the first round by less than a second by AJ Allmendinger as the session wound down. Other stars who failed to advance out of the first round included Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, and Tony Stewart. Danica Patrick also did not advance and starts 28th. “We’ve got all kinds of time on Sunday,” Patrick said. Keselowski has a win and five top 10s this season. His previous pole at Phoenix netted him a third-place finish. He credited Ford for helping the No. 2 find the speed it needed to boost its qualifying efforts. “I don’t think we were far off before, we just needed those little pieces that were outside of our control to be evened up,” he said. “I feel like that is the case now and we are where we should be.” It was the eighth time this season a track record was set at qualifying. With Manziel in camp, Browns look to manage crush BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns have a game plan to manage “Manzielmania” this summer. Expecting huge crowds to see rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel compete with Brian Hoyer for the starting job, the Browns want fans to register online to attend training camp. Cleveland can accommodate only about 5,000 fans at its facility. Browns President Alec Scheiner told The Associated Press the team will ask fans to sign up beforehand so “we don’t turn away 2,000 or 3,000 fans who just show up.” Scheiner said the team will announce when capacity is reached, but fans can still come and wait to get in. The team is working out final details of the registration. Camp will remain free. Manziel’s arrival has created a buzz around the Browns, who moved up in the first round of the NFL draft to select the celebrated Heisman Trophy winner who hangs out with rapper Drake and has NBA superstar LeBron James as a business partner. Scheiner said the Browns’ season-ticket base has grown by more than 4,000 since Manziel was picked. His No. 2 jersey is on store shelves in the Cleveland area and is already one of the league’s top sellers before he has played in a game. Manziel is currently behind Hoyer on the depth chart, and there’s no guarantee he’ll move up when the season starts. But that won’t stop fans from flocking to see Johnny Football, who caused a stir last weekend by taking a trip to Las Vegas. Manziel was in Los Angeles on Friday with 34 other rookies to attend a rookie symposium run by the players’ union. The Browns set attendance records at training camp last year and Scheiner anticipates this year’s crowds to be “a little bit better.” “It’s exciting, and it’s fun,” he said. “We’re getting better.” Scheiner, who spent eight years with the Dallas Cowboys before he was hired by Cleveland after the 2012 season, said the Browns have begun looking into moving their camp to a college campus. The team previously trained at Bowling Green (1946-51), Hiram (1952-74), Kent State (1975-81) and Lakeland Community College (1982-91) before holding camp in Berea, the yearround training headquarters. Scheiner points to the many challenges in moving training camp, including transportation costs, getting practice fields up to NFL specifications as well as housing. “We’ll look at it,” he said. “If there’s something that makes sense, we’ll look at it. If there’s not, we won’t. But we’re going to start looking at it carefully.” If the Browns do move camp, Scheiner expects the new site to be within driving distance of Cleveland. Last year, the Browns drew 56,306 fans to their 13 open practices at the training facility and a family night session at FirstEnergy Stadium. They averaged 2,475 fans per practice in Berea and set a one-day record of 4,466. Doug Kapustin | MCT New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount gets hit by Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith after picking up a first down on a running play during the first half of their game in Baltimore on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013. Blount ready to do dirty work for Steelers PITTSBURGH (AP) — Since Jerome Bettis retired after the 2005 NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have searched for a big, bruising running back in his mold. The list of hopefuls has been long, if not particularly distinguished. Verron Haynes, Najee Davenport, Carey Davis, Gary Russell, Frank Summers, Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman all failed to consistently provide production in shortyardage and goal line situations. Enter LeGarrette Blount. The 6-foot, 250-pound veteran certainly looks the part. And while he has a long way to go to be mentioned with the likes of Bettis, there have been plenty of flashes during his four seasons in the league. Blount averaged 5.0 yards per carry while splitting time with Stevan Ridley in New England last season, and gashed the Indianapolis Colts for 166 yards and four touchdowns in the playoffs. Though second-year back Le’Veon Bell remains the starter, Blount is confident he can make an impact no matter what situation. “I know they brought me in here to run the football, so I hope there are plenty of carries to go around,” Blount said Wednesday. “I know that Le’Veon is going to get his fair share, so I hope there’s enough for all of us.” Bell, last year’s second-round pick, missed the opening three games while recovering from a preseason foot injury. But he still played nearly 700 snaps, a heavy workload the 6-foot-1, 230-pound Bell managed with ease. Still, the Steelers will find opportunities to go from the patient and pragmatic Bell to the bruising Blount, with the emphasis on bruising. “That’s my running style,” Blount said. “That’s how I run the football, and I feel like (Bell) is also a big, tough running back, too. So, that’s just how this team is built, with a physical running game, and I think that’s what they’re trying to get back to. So, hopefully, we can do that.” Blount noted a balanced offense is needed to make a run to the Super Bowl such as the ones by Seattle and Denver last year. The champion Seahawks had Marshawn Lynch running the ball and Russell Wilson throwing it, while the Broncos ran the ball with Knowshon Moreno when Peyton Manning wasn’t breaking NFL passing records. “I think it’s huge for us to (sign Blount), because I’ve always said that we need to be a balanced offense,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “So, we need to run the ball. We need to be great at running the ball, and we’ve got guys that want to be great at running the ball. So, hopefully, we can do it and do it successfully.” Blount added that while his body type and size make him an ideal power back, he has a variety of skill sets, such as catching the football and running away from defenders in the open field. But he certainly has proven he can run over them as well. Those attributes, combined with Bell’s slashing style, should give the Steelers a solid one-two punch. “I think we have a really good mix of running backs,” Blount said. “(But) I’ve seen the NFL Network, and they have these top 10 or top five running back duos in the NFL. I noticed that we’re not one of them, and I don’t like it. In all honesty, I believe they’re downgrading the skill level that we have in our backfield. . I think that’s kind of disrespectful.” Does that mean Blount and Bell have something to prove? “We’re not going to go out here and go on about how we’re not in that group,” Blount said. “But we’re going to go out there and show that we belong there with our performance.” NOTES: RB Dri Archer has missed the opening two OTAs, just like linebacker Jordan Zumwalt from UCLA, because his school is on the quarters system and their class has not yet graduated. . OTAs continue Thursday and also run Tuesday through Thursday next week. �:8î îD49@@=DîD92C6îC64@C5î€ IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Big 12 Conference is again sharing a record amount of revenue among its 10 schools and the money is expected to keep growing. The league that only a few years ago had an uncertain future will share just more than $220 million with its schools for the 2013-14 academic year. “We remain very compatible and collaborative in our deliberations,” said Oklahoma State President Burns Hargis, chairman of the Big 12 board of directors. “The conference has never been stronger. “ Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Friday at the end of the league’s spring meetings that Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech will get about $23 million each. Second-year league members TCU and West Virginia, who will become fully vested Big 12 members in two years, get about $14 million each. The amount of distributable revenue, an increase from $198 million last year, was about $7.8 million more than anticipated. That $7.8 #îC6G6?F6 million will go into a reserve fund that could be used for legal or unforeseen expenses, but could also be paid out to the schools later. “Our conference is doing exceptionally well with the model of 10, the revenue distribution for each of the schools, everybody knows what can be expected, and it’s more than where we were years ago,” Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said this week before the figures were released. During the cycle of conference realignment, the Big 12 lost four schools to three oth- er conferences over two summers (2011-2) while adding TCU and West Virginia. “Having walked through valley of shadow of death in conference realignment, I think we all understand the importance of a collaborative body. But what survived in all of that were the people who wanted to be together,” Burns said, adding there is now a certain feeling of vindication. “We were buried several times during that period and we continued to emerge. … Adversity builds strength. I think that’s exactly the case.” Classifieds - continued from previous page Houses For Sale 2 Story Modular Home 3BR, $86,000.

A total of 70 seniors graduated in the 7 p.m. service. Class President Thomas Wyatt Zuspan opened the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance. Michael Alex MacKnight was the top graduating senior of the Class of 2014. He told fellow classmates that their achievement in graduating was just the beginning; the first step into the journeys of their future lives. “Most of us have been together since grade school, and teachers have always told us along the way that there was something special about our class; that we were one of the best classes to have ever gone through school here in the area,” MacKnight said. “And they are absolutely right. Think about all of the incredible things we’ve accomplished throughout our years in school.” MacKnight listed a number of assets held by the graduates. He told of the closeness the class members have always had. “We are truly something special,” MacKnight stated. “But why stop there? Do we only want to be remembered as one of the best classes during high school, or do we want to be remembered as one of the best classes both in high school and in the lives we led after graduation? We all have the potential to have great success in Photos by Mindy Kearns AT LEFT, Wahama High School graduating seniors Logan Nicole Raynes, Bailey Anne Hicks, and Wesley Ryan Harrison, from left, are pictured awaiting their turns to receive diplomas at the Commencement ceremony Friday evening.

They were Michael Alex MacKnight, pictured at left, and Hollie Danielle Greene. whatever field we pursue, and that is something that is truly special about our class.” Fellow student speaker Hollie Danielle Greene, second in the class, concurred with MacKnight’s feelings. Stating she wrote and re-wrote her speech many times, Greene said, “So, finally, I decided that I would leave the advice and jokes to someone else and just write about something really special: us.” Greene cited various incidents that occurred during their high school years, and pointed out what she would remember about certain classmates. Adding she didn’t have time to mention everyone, Greene said she felt extremely blessed to stand before the class and share the special day. “Though we may not be the most organized class that has passed through these halls, I have no doubt that we are the closest,” she stated. “Though we fight and we have our disagreements, at the end of the day, we always pull together and have each other’s backs. Though it may seem cliche, I think everyone sitting here would agree that we aren’t just a group of classmates, but also a family.” Greene concluded by saying, “No matter where our lives lead us or what the future holds in store, of one thing I am certain. We will always have these memories and we will always have this class; this family.” Principal Kenny Bond gave the welcome and made introductions, including Superintendent Suzanne Dickens, who gave her acceptance of the class. The presentation of diplomas was carried out by Melissa VanMeter, as- sistant principal. Musical selections were presented by both the school choir and band. Several seniors graduated with honors on three levels. They included summa cum laude; magna cum laude; and cum laude. Graduating summa cum laude were Benjamin David Foreman, Hollie Danielle Greene, Wesley Ryan Harrison, Bailey Anne Hicks, Michael Alex MacKnight, Morgan Faith Nottingham, Kylie Marie Oliver, Logan Nicole Raynes, and Paige Nichole Stanhope.

The inaugural “Trot for Trout” will assist in gaining the money needed for another year of “Trout in the Classroom,” according to fourth-grade teacher Shayla Blackshire, who led the project this past year. Trout in the Classroom is an environmental program in which students raise trout from eggs to fingerlings. Students monitor tank water quality, engage in stream habitat study, and learn about ecosystems. The run, organized by teacher Amber Lloyd, will begin at 8 a.m., with registration at 7 a.m. Free T-shirts will be given to the first 100 registered for the 5K. There will also be a separate race for kids. Awards will be given to the winners of each division, and there will also be door prizes. In addition, a benefit spaghetti dinner will be held that day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All events will take place at the elementary school on Mill Street. Blackshire said she began the TIC project last summer after reading about it. Through Trout Unlimited, the teacher contacted Jack Williams, who told her she needed two things — a class monitor and funding. Blackshire said she contacted her father-in-law, an employee of United Rental, who provided for the past year’s funding. From there, teachers Jacque Richardson and Laura Cullen got on board, according to Blackshire. “I am personally a hands-on teacher,” she said. “I believe students learn better if they are having fun and see that their teachers have a love for learning as well.” Blackshire continued, “The TIC project is a great way to enhance student knowledge of their surroundings. If we can’t take care of the trout water, then Submitted photos AT LEFT, a “Trot for Trout” 5K Walk/Run will be held at New Haven Elementary School on June 7 to help fund a second year of the “Trout in the Classroom” project. The project ended this year in April with a field trip to release the fingerlings. A scene from the release is shown above. AT RIGHT, New Haven Elementary students are all smiles after releasing trout fingerlings into the wild as part of the “Trout in the Classroom” project.

So students learn right away it’s so important to keep the tank water healthy. This also applies to our own water. It really hit home this year with the water crisis in Charleston.” Since the trout tank had to be cleaned and the fish fed daily, the teachers took turns on days when school was not in session. And with the many snow days this past winter, sometimes the trek to school was dangerous. Although the project is supposed to be Trout in the Class- room, as the name implies, Blackshire said they made it “Trout in the School.” Teachers called the room containing the fish the “trout lab,” and had a schedule for all the classes to visit at least once a week. Cameras were placed on the fish tank and it was live streamed onto the school’s website, so students could show their parents in the evening. The school even tied it into their Accelerated Reading program. Teachers tailored it into their own classrooms, and when the fingerlings were ready to be released in April, it was the top students in each grade who made the field trip to watch the release and participate. “We are trying to get kids motivated for outdoor learning; to stay active and healthy; and to keep reading independently,” Blackshire said. She added the school will need over $1,500 to do the project again next year in October. Blackshire said the school al- ready has a tank and chiller, but needs to replace the filter, and wants to buy an extra oxygen bar. The remainder of the funds will go for fish food, chemicals to treat the water, and the trout release field trip. To register for the Trot for Trout or to make a donation, those interested can visit the front office at the elementary school.

A number of dog owners already have been using the newly fenced-off areas for small and large dogs in Ambrose Park, but it isn’t ready, and will be chained and locked to prevent further use, Catlett said. When opened, canine handlers will be required to use a keychain cardswipe system to securely use the Wurzburg Dog Park, but how much it will cost still is being determined, he said.

By Brandi Underwood Associated Press BECKLEY, W.Va. — Many West Virginians remember the days when their small towns were thriving. Local grocery shops, mom and pop shops and restaurants comprised the bustling downtown scene, and summer nights were spent at the drive-in movie theater and local diner. In 2014, the nostalgia for those days is stronger than ever, and many long for that bygone area of strong local economies and even stronger communities. One statewide initiative, “What’s Next, West Virginia?,” is seeking to spark local conversations and encourage community action that could one day bring those days back. The nonpartisan, statewide initiative is designed to provide a platform to encourage community-based conversations about our state’s future and to help communities develop action plans based on their own ideas for building stronger local communities. “The big underlying question here is: ‘How can we as West Virginians play an active role in writing our own economic future?’” said Catherine Moore, the Appalachian Transition Fellow assisting with the initiative. 60477350 YOUTH SUMMER ARTS CAMPS Artists, Visual Arts, Theatre, Production, Playwriting & Much More Gallia Auto Sales ART ON THE LAWN Thursday evenings, June 12th – September 25th @ 5:30, live entertainment, food & drinks, and Gallia County Artisan Market.

Dr. Kakel will be seeing patients at the Gallipolis and Jackson locations. He completed his occupational medicine residency program at the University of Cincinnati. Prior to completing his residency, Kakel was a hospitalist in orthopedic surgery at the James Paton Memorial Hospital in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. Mitchell will be providing palliative care and working closely with the hospital’s hospice and cancer programs throughout the Holzer system. Palliative care focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. Unlike hospice, palliative medicine is appropriate for patients in all disease stages, including those undergoing treatment for curable illnesses and those living with chronic diseases, as well as patients nearing the end of life. Palliative medicine utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, relying on input throughout the health care system, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, chaplains, social workers, psychologists, etc., to create a plan of care to relieve suffering in all areas of life. This multidisciplinary approach allows the palliative care team to address physical, emotional, spiritual and social concerns that arise with advanced illness. Medications and treatments are said to have a palliative effect if they relieve symptoms without having a curative effect on the underlying disease or cause. This can include treating nausea related to chemotherapy or something as simple as morphine to treat the pain of broken leg or ibuprofen to treat aching related to an influenza (flu) infection. “I am excited about Dr. Scott Mitchell practicing palliative care at Holzer,” said Dr. Fred Williams, director of chaplaincy for Holzer Health System. “Along with providing direct patient care to those who are faced with very difficult illnesses, Dr. Mitchell will provide guidance and coordination to all of us involved on the palliative care team in caring for the whole person and family while they cope with severe sickness. His past experience with such care and his local roots make him well equipped to work with us here at Holzer.” “The addition of a Pal- �Sunday, June 1, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D BLONDIE Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green 4 9 By Hilary Price 9 1 8 5 7 9 4 3 7 4 2 2 4 6 7 3 8 Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices ly ... starting at on FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer. 5 5/31 Difficulty Level For 3 months.* 2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 1 9 RHYMES WITH ORANGE 1 2 5 �Page C4 LîSunday Times Sentinel &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday, June 1, 2014 Evan Scott Grinstead and Rachel Renae Hannum Hannum-Grinstead engagement Kayla Sanders and Jordan Rife )2?56CD�(:76î 6?8286>6?E Chris and DeShawn Sanders announce the engagement of their daughter, Kayla Sanders, to Jordan Rife, son of Joe and Jody Rife.

AP Photos President Woodrow Wilson’s wife, Edith, wanted to buy the home on S Street in Washington, D.C., partly because there was room on the wall to hang a 17th century tapestry that had been a gift to the Wilsons from France. Woodrow Wilson House explores president’s legacy By Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press WASHINGTON — When World War I began in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed U.S. neutrality. Then in 1917, he sent U.S. troops to Europe. After the war, he worked to create a lasting peace, and in 1919, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. This summer marks 100 years since the start of World War I, and those with an interest in America’s role in the Great War and its aftermath can learn more about Wilson’s life and legacy on a guided tour of the President Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, where he lived after leaving office. In his postwar efforts, Wilson championed principles like self-determination and independence, and he was the leading founder of the League of Nations, forerunner to the United Nations. “The main thing we want people to understand is that Wilson imagined the world at peace, and he proposed a plan for achieving that vision,” said Stephanie Daugherty, associate manager and curator at the President Woodrow Wilson House. The house on S Street just north of Dupont Circle is a unique destination in its own right as the home of the only president who retired in Washington after leaving office. Wilson and his wife Edith bought the brick Georgian Revival house with arched windows and a columned entrance in 1920 as his second term ended. Wilson was partially paralyzed by a stroke in 1919, and though not in a wheelchair, he had trouble walking, so an elevator was installed for him. He died in 1924, but his widow lived in the home until her death in 1961. The house has been restored with furnishings and memorabilia dating to the era when Wilson lived there. Artifacts on display include an artillery shell casing from the first shots fired by U.S. troops on European soil. The commanders sent it to Wilson as a “fitting souvenir,” and he kept it on his mantle “as a reminder of his obligation to those troops” to work for peace, Daugherty said. Also on exhibit is a pen with a feminine, motherof-pearl design that Wilson used to sign the declaration of war. He didn’t have a pen handy when asked to sign the order, so he borrowed it from his wife. The drawing room displays a mosaic of St. Peter that was given to Wilson by Pope Benedict XV when Wilson became the first sitting president to meet with a pope, in 1919. And a Gobelin tapestry given by the people of France to the Wilsons in 1917 hangs on the wall; Edith Wilson wanted to buy the house partly because it had space for the tapestry. The tour begins with a 17-minute movie about Wilson’s life. He was born in Virginia — his birthplace there is the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library — and grew up in Georgia and South Carolina, the son of a Pres- This undated image provided by the President Woodrow Wilson House shows the building exterior on S Street in Washington, D.C.

Wilson was a lawyer with a Ph.D. in history and political science; he served as president of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey before winning the presidency. His first wife, Ellen, mother of their three daughters, died in the White House in 1914. The tour includes a look at third-floor bedrooms and a basement kitchen. And through Aug. 10, a first-floor gallery hosts “Images of the Great War,” an exhibit of prints and drawings from the European front. On June 18, 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m., a program is scheduled on songs from World War I. AP Photo This image provided by Mighty Tykes shows Mighty Tykes weights in Fairmont, W.Va. The weight are used to help children with developmental issues. W.Va. company makes tiny weights to help kids By Jessica Borders Associated Press FAIRMONT, W.Va. — West Virginia company MightyTykes is helping children and showing the country and world that each and every person is “different by design.” Isabella Yosuico calls herself a “mighty mom” and is the founding president of MightyTykes, which has been three years in the making. She grew up in Howard County, Maryland, and Berkeley Springs has been her home for about 10 years now. She lives there with her husband Ray and sons Pierce, 7, and Isaac, 4. Isabella knew that Isaac was going to have some kind of congenital issue, and she learned after he was born that he had Down syndrome. She recognized right away that her son would deal with hypotonia, which is low muscle tone and muscle weakness, and is common among children with Down syndrome. Isaac was a few months old, and in Isabella’s “mommy brain,” it seemed obvious that she should make him some little weights. She filled leftover fleece with sand from her boys’ sandbox to create the weights. Isaac’s physical therapist, Dr. Mary Jane Baniak, asked Isabella where she had gotten the weights and learned that the “mighty mom” had made them herself. Tiny weights like these weren’t really available anywhere else, and Baniak told Isabella that they could be helpful for many conditions in children, such as prematurity, infant stroke, autism, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. The MightyTykes Infant & Child Weights have been made in different sizes, including 1/8-, 1/4- and 1/2-pound, and 3/4- and 1-pound weights are currently in development. “From a strength standpoint … I’ve noticed he’s progressed through all of the weights,” Isabella said of Isaac. The weights were used for Isaac’s stereotypic movements, which are movements that are repetitive and purposeless. He would often raise his arms into the air as if he was waving, and the consciousness of the weights around his wrists helped correct those movements. Isabella also plans to use the weights on Isaac’s ankles to improve his walking. A limited trial of the Infant & Child Weights was performed with families and in hospitals around the country, and MightyTykes has gotten a lot of testimonials from parents about how the weights have helped their children. While the past three years have been tough for Isabella and discouraging at times, those emails or phone calls from parents providing positive feedback on her product made all that hard work worthwhile. She knows that she is helping to fill a muchneeded gap in the market. “My little basement project is really making a difference for people,” Isabella said. “It’s definitely pretty cool.” Following extensive marketing efforts, MightyTykes officially unveiled its Infant & Child Weights at the New York Metro Abilities Expo at the beginning of May. This expo series is held across the country for consumers and professionals to learn about special needs devices, services and products, and MightyTykes got some great visibility during the event in New York. The Infant & Child Weights are available at www. mightytykes.com. “There’s been an interest,” Isabella said. “This is really a product that has a lot of potential use for a lot of conditions. We believe there is a lot of potential in Europe and in Asia.” She stressed that the company’s message — that everyone is “different by design” — is just as important as the products. She explained that all children are valuable and deserve the tools to be successful in life. “They’re not mistakes. They’re not defective,” Isabella said. “That means all of us are the way we are on purpose and for a purpose.” As for the future, MightyTykes is coming up with new ideas that are practical and helpful, and people have been asking about different products. The company is considering going into some branded merchandise like exercise gear for toddlers, and weighted vests, clothing or devices for kids with sensory issues, Isabella said. She said MightyTykes always wants to offer products that are of very high quality and are safe. INNOVA Commercialization Group, an initiative of the West Virginia High Technology Consortium Foundation in Fairmont, and the West Virginia Jobs Investment Trust (WVJIT), which is based in Charleston and also has an office in Fairmont, are supporting MightyTykes in the form of a loan with the help of the West Virginia Capital Access Program. “INNOVA and WVJIT each invested $50,000 from their respective investment funds, and each matched their investments with $50,000 from the West Virginia Capital Access Program, for a total loan of up to $200,000,” said Guy Peduto, director of INNOVA. “The investment is staged in two parts of $100,000 with sales-based milestones for drawing the second half.” The investment is also supported by the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, he said. Michele O’Connor, investment manager for WVJIT, said the West Virginia Capital Access Program, which WVJIT administers, is funded through dollars from the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. West Virginia received $13.1 million, provided by the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative, to allocate for small businesses. WVJIT has disbursed almost all of those loan dollars, and has closed about 58 transactions and others are in transition after being approved. That $13.1 million has been leveraged to about $62 million of private investment, O’Connor said. She said the State Small Business Credit Initiative provides dollars for companies that want to start or expand but are unable to go to a traditional lender. The program wants to partner with banks and other sources with private dollars to fill the gap at the federal level between the traditional lender and helping companies grow. Right now, WVJIT has a $20 million portfolio with approximately 21 companies across West Virginia, and those loans are constantly revolving so it can reinvest in other businesses, O’Connor said. MightyTykes is a startup that would have had a difficult time going to the bank to get funding, she said. This particular company found a niche market for a product that wasn’t available and will fill a need. Since 2003, INNOVA has invested $2.6 million in 21 different companies in the state, Peduto said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
