Nearly four years after Director of the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency Bob Byer submitted the grant application for to construction of a new Emergency Operations Center ground has been broken at the site of the new facility. Byer, along with commissioners, architects, contractors and advisors turned out on Tuesday morning for the official groundbreaking ceremony for the Meigs County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The facility will house dispatch offices, the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency, Meigs County EMS, and the 911 center. The facility will also include a garage which will allow for the storage of needed equipment, including a trailer and truck used for emergency response. Byer said that the facility will be completely backed up by generator in case of power outages and will be a secure facility with security locks on the doors. The facility will also be capable of monitoring situations which may arise involving the rivers also. In the case of an emergency, the facility will have an executive room where officials can meet to discuss the situation. The facility has been planned by RVC Architects with input from several other individuals and agencies. June 9 will mark four years since the work began to acquire the new facility for the county. On March 8, 2012, the county was approved to receive a $700,000 grant See GROUNDBREAKING ‌| 5 Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel Local officials, contractors, and those who have worked to make the Emergency Operations Center possible turned out for the groundbreaking on Tuesday morning at the site of the new facility.

Power outage affects 3K Meigs County customers Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — More than 3,100 American Electric Power (AEP) customers in Meigs County were in the dark Tuesday morning after malfunctioning AEP equipment necessitated taking customers off the grid during repairs. According to AEP Ohio, approximately 3,100 cus- tomers in and around the Pomeroy area were affected after a piece of equipment that helps circuits communicate with each other stopped functioning Tuesday morning. The problem originated on Higley Road, which is located off Leading Creek Road in Rutland Township. The power was reportedly restored by approximately 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Several injured in boating accident Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel The biggest and best of the Memorial Day motorcycle runs takes place right here in Pomeroy. Riding Meigs County Roads Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The scene was a sea of motorcycles, filling the parking lots and Main Street from Lynn to Butternut Avenue, as the 28th annual Meigs County Memorial Day Run was about to begin just past noon on Sunday. As has been for all those years, Arnold Priddy was the leader of the cyclists as they moved out of town, not only for a good ride, but for a good cause. The goal was to raise money for the Toys for Tots program handled through the Meigs Cooperative Parish where there is an emphasis on assuring that every child has gifts under the tree on Christmas morning. In addition, the riders donated food for the Parish program of feeding the poor. This year’s event took a little different turn. There was a shorter preliminary ride on Saturday with the bikers returning to the parking lot where food and accessory booths were in place, and musical groups entertained in the amphitheater. But it was Sunday’s run that attracted over 2,000 bikers from across the area as several hundred spectators lined Main Street to watch the departure of bikes led by a cruiser driven by Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood. Grace Episcopal Church representatives were on hand to bless each bike with holy water as it passed by. After 18 minutes, all of the bikers taking part in the 52-mile run were on their way. They traveled through Middleport, and on to Bradbury, Rutland, Harrisonville, and Pageville to Ohio 681, then took U.S. 33 to Bashan Road, and then onto Ohio 124 through the villages of Racine, Syracuse and Minersville and back into Pomeroy for Arnold Priddy has led the motorcycle run for all 28 years. some reminiscing before heading home.

John McCain on Tuesday praised the “brave fighters” battling the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad and renewed his call for the Obama administration to move aggressively militarily to aid the opposition. In a series of stops in the Middle East, the Republican lawmaker and former presidential candidate quietly slipped into Syria on Monday for meetings with commanders from the rebel forces and traveled to Yemen on Tuesday to sit down with President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. “Important visit with brave fighters in (hash) Syria who are risking their lives for freedom and need our help,” McCain said on Twitter on Tuesday. Gen. Salim Idris, chief of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army, accompanied McCain on Monday as the lawmaker traveled inside Syria, the first U.S. senator to travel to the country since the civil war began more than two years ago. McCain has been a forceful proponent of military action against the forces of Assad and a critic of President Barack Obama’s handling of the situation. McCain spent about two hours in Syria, crossing over the border from Turkey, and met with about 10-15 rebel commanders, Idris said in a telephone interview from inside Syria. His discussions focused on the fighting on the ground, the need for military assistance, humanitarian aid and medical care. “We are peaceful people, we would like to see our country liberated from this dictatorship, liberated from this murder regime, and we would like to have the best relations with all the countries in the world,” Idris said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. McCain, R-Ariz., a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, favors providing arms to rebel forces in Syria and creation of a no-fly zone. He has stopped short of backing U.S. ground troops in Syria. Spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the White House was aware in advance of McCain’s plans to travel to Syria. Carney declined to say whether McCain was carrying any message from the administration, but he said White House officials looked forward to hearing about his trip. A State Department official said the department was aware of McCain crossing into Syrian territory Monday, but referred further questions to McCain’s office. McCain spokeswoman Rachael Dean confirmed the Monday trip, but declined further comment. Yemen’s state news agency SABA reported that McCain met with Hadi in the capital Sanaa. The agency said Hadi told McCain that he welcomed Obama’s decision to lift the ban on transferring Guantanamo Bay prisoners back to Yemen. Yemeni detainees are the largest contingency in the U.S. prison facility, comprising nearly 100 out of 166 suspects held there. The senator also took a walk through the Old City in Sanaa and some of its bazaars, according to the news agency. The United States backed Hadi’s ascension to power after protests forced longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh from power early last year. Yemen’s military was also assisted by the United States when it fought to regain control of areas in the south of the country that had briefly fallen to al-Qaida , which is active on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. “Very informative visit to (hash)Yemen today - another nation under threat by al-Qaida,” McCain said on Twitter. McCain’s Syria trip took place at the same time as meetings in Paris involving efforts to secure participation of Syria’s fractured opposition in an international peace conference in Geneva. And in Brussels, the European Union decided late Monday to lift the arms embargo on the Syrian opposition while maintaining all other sanctions against President Bashar Assad’s regime after June 1, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said. Two years of violence in Syria have killed more than 70,000 people, according to the United Nations. President Barack Obama has demanded that Assad leave power, while Russia has stood by Syria, its closest ally in the Arab world. Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to provide weapons to rebels in Syria, as well as military training to vetted rebel groups and sanctions against anyone who sells oil or transfers arms to the Assad regime. WHITE MARSH, Md. (AP) — A CSX cargo train derailed Tuesday in a Baltimore suburb and the explosion that followed rattled homes at least a half-mile away and collapsed nearby buildings, setting them on fire, officials and witnesses said. The train went off the tracks at about 2 p.m. in White Marsh, about 10 miles northeast of Baltimore, and fire department spokeswoman Louise Rogers Feher said there were no immediate word on injuries. Hazmat teams were on the scene, but fire officials did not have immediate information on what might be still be burning. Baltimore County Public Safety tweeted that if residents and others can see the smoke plume, they should evacuate the area. Dale Walston said he lives about a halfmile away from the blast site and that the smell of chemicals is very strong. “It shook my house pretty violently and knocked things off the shelves,” he said in an email to The Associated Press. A thick plume of black smoke was emerging from the scene and was visible for miles, the smoke drifting across the Baltimore city line and covering the eastern part of the city. It was visible to motorists heading north on Interstate 95, through downtown Baltimore. More than one video posted to Facebook shows the fire, then minutes later, an explosion rattles the area. Photos and video on TV stations showed at least three rail cars off the tracks. Overhead news shots show several blackened buildings and fires burning. Rogers Feher said several buildings “fell apart.” They also showed a tractor-trailer overturned near the front of the crash. A worker at a nearby Dunkin Donuts, Tawan Rai, reached by The Associated Press by phone, said he saw a fire and flames by the railroad tracks at first, then felt a thundering blast that sent smoke pouring into the sky. “The whole building shook and there was just dust everywhere,” said Rai, adding no windows broke but he was surprised by the intensity of the blast. “I went outside and people were rushing there, the police officers, fire trucks.” He also said he saw some ambulances arrive but didn’t see anyone injured. He also said police had apparently stopped traffic on nearby Pulaski Highway not far from the tracks and he no longer had any customers at his donut shop. John Kane, treasurer of Atlantic Tire on nearby Pulaski Highway, said the explosion blew out two large showcase windows and light fixtures in his shop. The highway, also called Route 40, is shut down to the Baltimore city line as well as some side streets in area. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team to the crash site to investigate. The derailment is the third serious one this month. In Bridgeport, Conn., on May 17, more than 70 people were injured when a commuter train derailed. The eastbound train from New York City went off the tracks during evening rush hour, came to a stop and was struck about 20 seconds later by a westbound train. In Rockview, Mo., on Saturday, a cargo train crash injured seven people and destroyed a highway overpass that could take a year to repair. Some businesses closed immediately, fearful of the unidentified contents of a heavy plume of black smoke roiling into the atmosphere. At seafood supplier S. DiPaula & Sons Seafood Inc., a goodnatured voice left a message on the answering machine afterward that the business was closing early for the day. “Hello, this is S. DiPaula & Sons Seafood. Today is Tuesday and it’s around 2:30 in the afternoon. We have decided to close due to a large explosion relatively close to our building and a heavy black plume of smoke that we can’t tell what’s in it.” In each of the past five years, CSX has reported more than 100 deaths in accidents and incidents involving the railroad. Much of Red Cross fund for Sandy aid still unspent NEW YORK (AP) — Seven months after Superstorm Sandy, the Red Cross still hasn’t spent more than a third of the $303 million it raised to assist victims of the storm, a strategy the organization says will help address needs that weren’t immediately apparent in the disaster’s wake. Some disaster relief experts say that’s smart planning. But others question whether the Red Cross, an organization best known for rushing into disasters to distribute food and get people into shelter, should have acted with more urgency in the weeks after the storm and left longhaul recovery tasks to someone else. “The Red Cross has never been a recovery operation. Their responsibility has always been mass care,” said Ben Smilowitz, executive director of the Disaster Accountability Project, a nonprofit group that monitors aid groups. “Stick with what you’re good at.” Storm victims could have used more help this past winter, said Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Civil Society at the City University of New York. “People were cold. Homes mildewed. There wasn’t enough decent housing,” she said. “Given the lingering despair, it’s hard to understand the argument that ‘We are setting that money aside.’” As Americans open their wallets to assist tornado victims in Oklahoma, the Red Cross is again emerging as one of the most important relief organizations on the ground and also one of the most prodigious fundraisers for victims. As of Thursday, it had raised approximately $15 million in donations and pledges for the tornado response, including a $1 million gift from NBA star Kevin Durant and numerous $10 donations, pledged via text. The Red Cross was also the No. 1 recipient of donations after Sandy. The organization said it still had $110 million remaining from its pool of storm donations as of mid-April, which were the most recent figures available. Red Cross officials pledged that all the money in its Sandy fund will eventually be spent on the storm recovery and not diverted to other disasters or used to support general Red Cross operations. Over the next few months, the Red Cross expects to spend as much as $27 million of its remaining Sandy donations on a program providing “movein assistance” grants of up to $10,000 to families displaced by the storm. About 2,000 households have been assisted by the program so far, with an additional 4,000 waiting for an eligibility determination. Part of the delay in spending, officials said, is to wait to see how the hardest-hit states allocate a $60 billion pot of federal relief dollars and address gaps in the government aid package. “We are waiting to see where the greatest need is going to be over time,” said Josh Lockwood, CEO of the Red Cross Greater New York Region. “We are more concerned with spending our resources wisely rather than quickly.” Some disaster relief experts said holding funds in reserve was indeed a smart move. Much of the toughest and most expensive relief work after a natural disaster comes not during the initial months but during the long-term rebuilding phase after the public’s attention has waned and new donations have stopped flowing, said Patrick Rooney, associate dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. “It would be splashier, perhaps, to spend the money right away while the media is still there and the donors are still looking,” he said. “But the important needs, from the cost perspective and the recipient perspective, take place after the headlines are gone and after the cameras are gone.” Red Cross officials noted that a year after a tornado killed 158 people in Joplin, Mo., it found itself providing a new round of mental health services to survivors. The cholera epidemic that killed thousands of people following a massive earthquake in Haiti, where the Red Cross was also criticized for not spending donations faster, didn’t start until nearly a year after the disaster. The Red Cross says it is planning substantial grants to other nonprofit groups doing Sandy recovery work and is doing much of its current work in conjunction with charitable partners with local ties. On Wednesday, it plans to announce a $1.25 million grant to the Brooklyn Community Foundation, which has in turn been making donations to neighborhood associations and committees working on a wide array of storm recovery projects, from cleaning mold to repairing sinkholes. Red Cross volunteers working with the organizing group New York Cares are going out several days a week to muck and clean flooded homes and remove mold. Red Cross staff and caseworkers have been holding “unmet needs roundtables” in hard-hit communities, trying to identify victims not covered by traditional aid programs. “Our experience shows that as the recovery goes on, the needs of survivors will evolve,” said Roger Lowe, Red Cross senior vice president. “It’s important to make sure some money is available for those needs no one can predict right now.” 60412545 �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Much of Red Cross fund Great Lakes region pins economic hopes on water for Sandy aid still unspent John Flesher The Associated Press David B.

Their responsibility has always been mass care,” said Ben Smilowitz, executive director of the Disaster Accountability Project, a nonprofit group that monitors aid groups. “Stick with what you’re good at.” Storm victims could have used more help this past winter, said Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Civil Society at the City University of New York. “People were cold. Homes mildewed. There wasn’t enough decent housing,” she said. “Given the lingering despair, it’s hard to understand the argument that ‘We are setting that money aside.’” As Americans open their wallets to assist tornado victims in Oklahoma, the Red Cross is again emerging as one of the most important relief organizations on the ground and also one of the most prodigious fundraisers for victims. As of Thursday, it had raised approximately $15 million in donations and pledges for the tornado response, including a $1 million gift from NBA star Kevin Durant and numerous $10 donations, pledged via text. The Red Cross was also the No. 1 recipient of donations after Sandy. The organization said it still had $110 million remaining from its pool of storm donations as of mid-April, which were the most recent figures available. Red Cross officials pledged that all the money in its Sandy fund will eventually be spent on the storm recovery and not diverted to other disasters or used to support general Red Cross operations. Over the next few months, the Red Cross expects to spend as much as $27 million of its remaining Sandy donations on a program providing “movein assistance” grants of up to $10,000 to families displaced by the storm. About 2,000 households have been assisted by the program so far, with an additional 4,000 waiting for an eligibility determination. Part of the delay in spending, officials said, is to wait to see how the hardest-hit states allocate a $60 billion pot of federal relief dollars and address gaps in the government aid package. “We are waiting to see where the greatest need is going to be over time,” said Josh Lockwood, CEO of the Red Cross Greater New York Region. “We are more concerned with spending our resources wisely rather than quickly.” Some disaster relief experts said holding funds in reserve was indeed a smart move. Much of the toughest and most expensive relief work after a natural disaster comes not during the initial months but during the long-term rebuilding phase after the public’s attention has waned and new donations have stopped flowing, said Patrick Rooney, associate dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

The cholera epidemic that killed thousands of people following a massive earthquake in Haiti, where the Red Cross was also criticized for not spending donations faster, didn’t start until nearly a year after the disaster. The Red Cross says it is planning substantial grants to other nonprofit groups doing Sandy recovery work and is doing much of its current work in conjunction with charitable partners with local ties. On Wednesday, it plans to announce a $1.25 million grant to the Brooklyn Community Foundation, which has in turn been making donations to neighborhood associations and committees working on a wide array of storm recovery projects, from cleaning mold to repairing sinkholes. Red Cross volunteers working with the organizing group New York Cares are going out several days a week to muck and clean flooded homes and remove mold. Red Cross staff and caseworkers have been holding “unmet needs roundtables” in hard-hit communities, trying to identify victims not covered by traditional aid programs. “Our experience shows that as the recovery goes on, the needs of survivors will evolve,” said Roger Lowe, Red Cross senior vice president. “It’s important to make sure some money is available for those needs no one can predict right now.” MILWAUKEE — A century ago, the seven-story brick building a few blocks from downtown was a factory — a symbol of an era when Milwaukee and other cities ringing the Great Lakes were industrial powerhouses churning out steel, automobiles and appliances. Eventually the region’s manufacturing core crumbled, and the structure became an all-but-forgotten warehouse. Now it’s getting a makeover and a new mission. It will reopen this summer as a hive of business experimentation swarming with scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs. They’ll share a lab where new technologies can be tested. Office suites will host startup companies, including one devising a system for cultivating algae as biofuel, another producing a type of pavement that lets rainwater seep into the ground instead of flooding sewers. The center is part of a broader effort unfolding across the Great Lakes region to regain lost prosperity by developing a “blue economy” — a network of industries that develop products and services related to water, from pump and valve manufacturers to resorts offering vacations along redeveloped lakeshores. As growing water scarcity casts a shadow over the economic boom in warmer states, many in the long-scorned northlands are hoping they can finally make their abundance of freshwater a magnet for businesses and jobs that are now going elsewhere. The idea is either a perfect nexus of opportunity and timing, or— as some in the Sun Belt believe— just another longshot attempt by a cold and downtrodden region to reverse history. In the eight Great Lakes states, organizations devoted to the venture are springing up, with headquarters, government grants and binders full of Power Points and fiveyear plans. Universities are establishing freshwater science and engineering programs. Businesses are developing products such as advanced filtration systems for sale in countries where water isn’t just scarce, but also polluted. Milwaukee has taken a pivotal role from its perch beside Lake Michigan, with $83.5 million in public and private money budgeted over the next year to support water-related businesses and research. “We all recognize that water has become more and more of a precious commodity,” said Tom Barrett, mayor of Milwaukee. “We have to do a much better job of promoting it.” The Great Lakes — Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario — hold nearly one-fifth of the freshwater on the Earth’s surface. But in one of the nation’s most vivid anomalies, some of the saddest, most bedraggled urban wastelands sit on the shores of the vast inland seas.

But drought has gripped the Sun Belt in recent years, and federal scientists predict recurrent periods similar to the 1930s Dust Bowl if climate change models prove accurate. Worried leaders there are floating increasingly radical proposals, from billion-dollar pipelines traversing hundreds of miles to creating artificial lakes. “I don’t like to get into an us-versus-them situation, but the drought in these other locations is going to get worse and worse and what we have to offer is going to get more and more attractive,” said David Ullrich, executive director of an organization representing the Great Lakes region’s mayors. Sun Belt leaders, while acknowledging the problem, scoff at the idea of companies choosing the Midwest instead. They say they’re already working on solutions. Texas voters in 2011 authorized a $6 billion bond issue for water infrastructure, including building more than two dozen reservoirs in coming decades. Besides just warm weather, “We provide economic opportunity,” said Tom Hayden, mayor of the Flower Mound, Texas, a Dallas suburb of 70,000 where the population has tripled in the past two decades. “We help businesses grow instead of seeing how much we can squeeze them with taxes.” Water availability is just one factor that influences where businesses locate, said Jason Morrison of the Pacific Institute, author of a report on likely economic fallout from a drier climate. Still, he acknowledged, the outlook is disconcerting. “It’s pretty certain that water-related risk for business will increase over the long haul in more places,” he said. Al Henes, who runs a brewery and pub in Flagstaff, Ariz., has waterless urinals and reuses water in his beer-making operation, but worries about the future as housing developments and golf courses keep springing up. Even so, he said, he’s not ready to forsake his beloved canyon country’s stunning scenery and outdoorsy lifestyle. “You guys get a little colder up there,” Henes said dryly. Recalling childhood winter visits with his grandmother in Michigan, he added: “Some of my words would just freeze in my mouth and fall on the ground and shatter.” Milwaukee reflects the grandeur of the lake region’s past as well as its decline and the quest to rebuild. A downtown statue of “The Fonz” evokes wistful memories of “Happy Days” prosperity, when more than half of the adult workforce had factory jobs with manufacturers like Allis-Chalmers, now defunct. Some warehouses and storefronts still sit empty, and the remnants of beer giants Schlitz, Pabst and Blatz have been turned to other uses.

Trial opens over firing of pregnant Ohio teacher CINCINNATI (AP) — A Roman Catholic archdiocese and two of its schools violated the civil rights of a teacher who was fired after she became pregnant through artificial insemination, her attorney told jurors Tuesday. Christa Dias was terminated simply for being pregnant and unmarried, and it’s illegal to fire an employee for being pregnant, her attorney Robert Klingler told federal jurors during opening statements of the trial over Dias’ lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and the schools. Klingler started his statement by showing jurors a photo of Dias’ daughter, who is now 2 years old. He said Dias had always wanted a child even after realizing she was gay and decided on artificial insemi- nation to become pregnant. She also loved her job teaching computer classes at the schools and believed herself to be “a good teacher and a good moral person,” he said. Dias, who is not Catholic, did not know that artificial insemination would be considered a violation of her contract and Catholic doctrine, he said. But Steven Goodin, representing the archdiocese and the schools, said there was no discrimination. He says Dias was fired “for intentionally violating a contract.” Goodin pointed out to jurors a clause in the employment contract saying employees must “comply with and act consistently in accordance with the stated philosophy and teachings” of the Catholic church and the schools’ policies and directives. The archdiocese has said that artificial insemination violates that doctrine and is immoral. Goodin noted that Dias is gay and therefore “shouldn’t have signed a contract knowing that she was violating” church doctrine. While the lawsuit does not claim Dias was fired because of her sexual orientation, Goodin said she kept the fact that she was gay a secret, because she knew the church doesn’t approve of homosexual acts. “That all goes to her credibility,” he said. Goodin said the lawsuit is “about money, plain and simple.” Even if jurors should find his clients did something wrong, “the evidence will show that Ms. Dias is not entitled to any damages,” he said.

Tax overhaul: Looking to IRS scandal for momentum WASHINGTON (AP) — The storm engulfing the Internal Revenue Service could provide a boost for lawmakers who want to simplify U.S. tax laws — a code that is so complicated most Americans buy commercial software to help them or simply hire someone else to do it all. Members of Congress from both political parties say the current uproar — over the targeting of conservative political groups — underscores that overly complex tax provisions have given the IRS too much discretion in interpreting and enforcing the law. “This is the perfect example of why we need tax reform,” said Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., a member of the taxwriting House Ways and Means Committee. “If you want to diminish and limit the power of the IRS, you have got to reduce the complexity of the tax code and take them out of it.” There are still formidable obstacles to completing a major tax overhaul this year or next. Democrats and Republicans start off with opposite views on whether the government should levy more taxes and on who should pay what share. The two sides also don’t trust one another, making it difficult to envision agreement on which popular tax breaks to keep and which to scrap. Most taxpayers pay someone to do their taxes or they buy commercial software to help them file. In a report earlier this year, national taxpayer advocate Nina E. Olson ranked complexity as the most serious problem facing both taxpayers and the IRS. People simply trying to comply with the rules often make inadvertent errors and overpay or underpay, she said, while others “often find loopholes that enable them to reduce or eliminate their tax liabilities.” The IRS scandal has little, if anything, to do with most everyday taxpayers, yet some lawmakers hope the attention will help galvanize support for the first major tax overhaul since 1986. A little over two weeks ago, the IRS revealed that agents assigned to a special team in Cincinnati had targeted tea party and other conservative groups for additional, often burdensome scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The targeting lasted more than 18 months during the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns, hindering the groups’ ability to raise money, according to a report by the agency’s inspector general. The ensuing storm has cost two top IRS officials their jobs, and a third has been placed on paid administrative leave. Investigations by Congress and the Justice Department are underway. The IRS was screening the groups’ applications because agents were trying to determine their level of political activity. IRS regulations say that taxexempt social welfare organizations can engage in some political activity but the activity cannot be their primary mission. It is a vague standard that agents struggled to apply, according to the inspector general’s report. Lawmakers in both parties have complained for years that overtly political groups on the left and right have taken advantage of the rules, allowing them to claim tax-exempt status and hide the identities of their donors. “There are countless political organizations at both ends of the spectrum masquerading as social welfare groups in order to skirt the tax code,” said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. “Once the smoke of the current controversy clears, we need to examine the root of this issue and reform the nation’s vague tax laws pertaining to these groups.” Baucus’ counterpart in the House, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, said he, too, thinks the scandal could boost efforts to simplify the tax code. “The complexity of the law didn’t require the IRS to target people for their political beliefs,” said Camp, a Michigan Republican. But, he added, “I think giving the IRS less discretion is going to be important, and that’s what a simplified code would do.” Camp and Baucus have been working for months on the herculean task of simplifying a tax code that has undergone about 5,000 changes since 2001. At nearly 4 million words, Camp likes to say the code is “10 times the size of the Bible with none of the good news.” Their committees have held dozens of hearings over the past two years and the two chairmen have started a website, taxreform.gov, where they solicit ideas from readers on how to change the laws. Camp has created bipartisan working groups of Ways and Means committee members to develop options for simplifying the various sections of the tax code. He has published several preliminary proposals. Some Republicans hope to use an upcoming debate over increasing the federal government’s borrowing authority to trigger action on tax change. The government is expected to reach the limit of its borrowing authority by early fall, raising the possibility of another debt standoff like the one in 2011 that brought it to the brink of default. Details are fluid, but congressional aides have been working on mechanisms to streamline the process of passing a tax package, in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, perhaps guaranteeing floor votes on bills approved by the tax-writing committees in the House and Senate. Camp and Baucus chair those committees. President Barack Obama, however, has said he won’t negotiate over raising the debt ceiling. Obama has called for an overhaul of corporate taxes, and he laid some groundwork to accomplish that in his latest budget proposal. The president has also said he wants to do comprehensive tax reform as part of a broad budget deal that cuts spending and reformulates entitlement programs. Such a grand bargain has proven elusive. Camp and Baucus say they are open to a process that links tax reform to the debt ceiling. But Baucus warns, “I don’t want to be part of something that’s political or partisan. But I do want to be part of something that’s practical and pragmatic that looks like it’s going to advance the ball.” Baucus, who has been in the Senate since 1978, announced in April he won’t run for re-election in 2014. He said he will focus much of his remaining time in the Senate trying to steer a tax package through Congress. Camp says he is committed to passing a tax bill out of his committee by the end of the year. There is no guarantee the full House would take up the bill, but Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has signaled his support for the effort by reserving the prestigious bill number HR 1 for a tax overhaul measure. Lawmakers in both parties are convinced that simpler, easier-to-understand tax laws would spur economic activity. But there are significant partisan differences. The Republican recipe calls for reducing or eliminating tax breaks that benefit targeted taxpayers, and using all the additional revenue to reduce overall rates for everyone. At the end of the day, the tax system would raise about the same amount of money, but businesses could focus on being more efficient instead of trying to take advantage of targeted tax breaks, supporters say. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress also want to reduce or eliminate various tax breaks. Overall income tax rates would be lower, but the wealthy would pay more each year because they would lose certain exemptions, deductions and credits. Choosing which tax breaks to scale back is a big hurdle. For all of the work Camp and Baucus have done building support for the idea of tax reform, they have yet to answer hard questions about which breaks to scrap. That’s because Americans like their credits, deductions and exemptions — the provisions that make the tax law so complicated in the first place. In exchange for lower tax rates, would workers be willing to pay taxes on employer-provided health benefits or on contributions to their retirement plans? How would homeowners feel about losing the mortgage interest deduction? Those are among the three biggest tax breaks in the tax code, according to congressional estimates. Together, they are projected to save taxpayers nearly $300 billion this year. “We’re going to have to come to that,” Baucus said. “Those are very big important questions and we’re going to tackle them.” �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Fox has not determined why rope snapped CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Fox Sports said on Monday it still had not determined why an overhead TV camera cable snapped during the Coca-Cola 600. The network says a full investigation is under way and use of the camera is suspended indefinitely. Earlier, NASCAR said it would wait for Fox Sports to conclude its review before deciding if such technology would be used in the future. Charlotte Motor Speedway said 10 people were injured when part of the drive rope landed in the grandstand; three were taken to hospitals. All were checked out and released soon after. In a statement, Fox said it was “relieved and thankful to know that the injuries to fans caused then CAMCAT malfunctioned at Charlotte Motor Speedway were minor.” The network again apologized for the disruption. Several drivers, including then-leader Kyle Busch, reported damage to their cars from the rope. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp told The Associated Press on Monday that there were no plans to use the system at upcoming races “so we’ll have ample time to review.” The network said the system was provided by Austrian company CAMCAT. The rope that failed was certified for a breaking strength of 9,300 pounds and was only bearing less than 900 pounds of force during the race, according to Fox Sports. The network said it’s reviewing with CAMCAT equipment maintenance records, history and installation information and plans to share its findings with NASCAR and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The network said the system was used successfully at the Daytona 500 and was set up and working at last week’s Sprint All-Star race in Charlotte. Fox’s final NASCAR telecast this year comes Sunday at Dover International Speedway. Tharp said NASCAR would let the network determine what went wrong. “We’ll sync up with them on what they have learned this week and go from there,” he said. The network explained how the drive rope moves the camera back and forth and failed near its turn one connection. The camera, it said in a statement, did not come down “because the guide ropes acted as designed.” The rope, Fox said, was made of Dyneema, which it described as “an ultra-strong synthetic that has the same approximate strength of a steel wire with See ROPE ‌| 8 Photos by Paul Boggs | Courtesy of Jackson County Times-Journal George Bridges | MCT photo Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns’ organization is shown before a game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, December 17, 2006, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Blue Angels win 18th straight district title Hall of Famer Jim Brown back with Browns Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown has come back to the team he helped lead to its last NFL championship. Brown will return in an unspecified role with the Cleveland Browns, who will formally reunite with the Hall of Fame standout at a news conference on Wednesday. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to announce Brown’s new position with the team he starred with from 1957-65 before retiring to pursue an acting career. “We’re excited to have him back a part of us,” Browns CEO Joe Banner said. “It’s important to me because he’s clearly in the top couple, if not the single most important part of the history of the franchise, and it’s the right thing to do.” Brown previously worked as a senior adviser with the Browns. However, his role was eliminated by former team president Mike Holmgren and Brown had been estranged from the team for a few years. He returned to play in an alumni golf outing and was introduced on the field at halftime at a game in September, when he met with Haslam, who had just bought the team from Randy Lerner. At the time, the outspoken Brown talked about his desire to work again with the team. “I would love to have a role with the Browns,” he said. “I think that’s what every ex-player would like to do most of all, to be a contributor to the success of an organization. I’m stuck with being No. 32 of the Cleveland Browns and I can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to do anything about it. If you didn’t like the ball, that’s one thing. You’re not going to always like my politics, but we are married because of that history. If I can be a part of the development of a new winning attitude and help get some victories, man that would be fantastic. “Imagine us having a championship team here again?” The Browns last won a title in 1964. Brown is the team’s career rushing leader with 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns. Haslam’s arrival seemed to help the Browns patch up any differences with arguably the greatest player in their franchise’s history. Haslam said at the NFL owner’s meetings in March that he anticipated Brown coming back to work for the team. Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson is thrilled to learn Brown will be back with the team. “With everything that is moving in the right direction, it’s only right to bring Jim Brown back,” Jackson said. “It’s the perfect time for it because he did a lot when he was here, just his presence alone for a young guy, to be able to have a conversation with him, I was in awe after being around him for three years. “I want him back.” Brown was at the Browns’ stadium on Tuesday to film a scene from the upcoming movie “Draft Day” starring Kevin Costner. Brown acted in a scene with former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, who said the return of the famed No. 32 was overdue. “It’s exciting,” Kosar said. “It’s great. I think the influence he can have on some of the younger kids and some of the younger players is great.” OVP Sports Schedule Wednesday, May 29 Track and Field Division III regionals at Fairfield Union HS, 4 p.m. Thursday, May 30 Baseball Southern vs. Newark Catholic at Lancaster Beavers Field, 5 p.m. Softball Southern vs. StrasburgFranklin at Pickerington HS Central, 5 p.m. Track and Field Division II regionals at Athens HS, 4 p.m. Friday, May 31 Track and Field Division III regionals at Fairfield Union HS, 6 p.m. OAK HILL, Ohio — Arguably the most impressive athletic streak in southeastern Ohio continued Saturday after the Gallia Academy girls clinched their 18th consecutive district title at the 2013 Division II OHSAA Southeast District Track and Field Championships held at Davis Stadium in Jackson County. The Blue Angels won six individual event titles and amassed a team score of 143.5 points, which was 13 points ahead of runner-up Athens (130.5). Meigs (21) and River Valley (20) also finished 11th and 12th, respectively out of the 15 scoring teams. The Blue Angels — who have won every D-2 district girls title since the 1996 campaign — won a trio of relay events and also had two individuals come away with district crowns in three separate events. GAHS also had three runners-up and five top-four finishes during Saturday’s girls finale. Hannah Watts came away with a pair of titles in both the 400m dash (59.82) and 800m run (2:24.42) while also placing second in the 100m dash with a mark of 13.17 seconds.

(AP) — Goodbye cold, grungy Candlestick Park. Hello high tech, shiny new Levi’s Stadium. Fifty-four years after $32 million Candlestick Park opened, the 49ers are building a new, $1.2 billion showcase of a stadium which is almost twice as big, wired to the hilt, and opening its doors just in time to host Super Bowl 50 in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Arriving just five years after Cowboys Stadium, Jerry Jones’ $1 billion showcase for his club, the 49ers are aiming to redefine state of the art, as team officials made clear on a recent tour. “If you’re a fan and you go to Candlestick, then you will really appreciate this new stadium,” said project executive Jack Hill, standing on the building’s 200-foot-high roof, gazing out at the south tip of the San Francisco Bay. “It’s going to be the crowning glory of the NFL.” The airy, open stadium had an intimate feel; with the largest lower bowl in the league, the 68,500 fans are close to the action. And that closeness is mutual. When players burst through the blowing smoke and blasting music on game day, they’ll be able to make eye contact with every seat, even the corner nosebleeds who are dwarfed beneath some of the largest high definition jumbotrons in the league. “This stadium is tremendous for the team. It helps strengthen the brand, because the one negative thing about the 49ers has always been Candlestick See STADIUM ‌| 8 �Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Miscellaneous HONDA 1988 GL1500 MOTORBIKE FOR FREE IF INTERESTED CONTACT: yahieltammy@hotmail.com 60418383 AUCTION / ESTATE / YARD SALE Auctions SERVICES Professional Services • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 60419955 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal 740-591-8044 Please leave a message ANNOUNCEMENTS Help Wanted General Houses For Sale Houses For Rent Worker Wanted : Need someone to work on trash route, Requirments but not limited to: 25yrs. old, clean driving record, be able to read, follow directions and do some maintenance, Send resume with work history or call: PO Box 21, Bidwell,Oh 45614.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Longtime West Virginia University gymnastics coach Linda Burdette-Good is among seven people who will be inducted into the university’s Sports Hall of Fame in September. WVU athletic director Oliver Luck announced the Class of 2013 on Sunday. Burdette-Good compiled 35 winning seasons in 37 years as coach, including 10 conference championships and four appearances in the NCAA championships. She retired in 2011. Others to be inducted include former Major League infielder Paul Popovich, ex-NFL running back Tom Woodeshick, men’s basketball standout Dale Blaney, four-time national championship rifle coach Ed Etzel, NCAA champion wrestler Dean Morrison, and the late women’s basketball star Olivia Bradley. Induction ceremonies will be held Sept. 14 prior to WVU’s home football game with Georgia State. The event is free of charge and open to the public. NFL draft to May in 2014; future dates undecided NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL draft is moving to May next year. The league officially announced Tuesday that the 2014 edition will be held May 8-10 at Radio City Music Hall because of a scheduling conflict in April at the venue. The NFL has yet to decide on dates for drafts in 2015 and beyond. Radio City is hosting an Easter show next year that conflicts with the NFL’s typical window for the draft. The last time the entire draft took place in May was 1984. The NFL says there will be no significant changes in the dates for other offseason events next year. Another trucker sues Pilot Flying J NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Another truck driver is suing Pilot Flying J over allegations that the nation’s largest diesel fuel retailer bilked customers out of rebates. Mike Campbell of Holmes County, Miss., filed the class-action lawsuit last week in federal court in Jackson, Miss. The lawsuit, which is at least the eighth filed against the company, refers to an FBI affidavit for several pages. The FBI alleges members of Pilot’s sales team deliberately withheld rebates to boost Pilot profits and pad sales commissions. No criminal charges have been filed. Knoxville, Tenn.-based Pilot is run by CEO Jimmy Haslam, who is also the owner of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and the brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. Campbell’s attorney did not immediately respond to The Associated Press for comment. Pilot Flying J spokesman Tom Ingram said in an email: “We’ve been advised by counsel class action lawsuits in a matter like this are expected and no surprise. Our counsel will review them as they come and defend them appropriately.” Wednesday, May 29, 2013 From Page 6 Members of Congress urge Redskins to change name WASHINGTON (AP) — Ten members of Congress are urging the Washington Redskins to change their name because it is offensive to many Native Americans. The representatives said Tuesday they’ve sent letters to Redskins owner Dan Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Redskins sponsor FedEx and the other 31 NFL franchises. The letter to Snyder says that “Native Americans throughout the country consider the ‘R-word’ a racial, derogatory slur akin to the ‘N-word’ among African Americans or the ‘Wword’ among Latinos.” Among the group sending the letters are the leaders of the Congressional Native American Caucus: Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Betty McCollum, D-Minn. The nickname is the subject of a long-running legal challenge from a group seeking to have the team lose its trademark protection. Snyder has vowed that he will never change the name. Search continues in Mich. for ex-Div. II champ QB WEBBER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A law enforcement official says a former national champion quarterback who went missing during a fishing trip in Michigan had a “nervous episode” and ran into the woods. Lake County Sheriff Robert Hilts made the comment to the Ludington Daily News about Cullen Finnerty, who was reported missing Sunday night after he went fishing near Baldwin, about 65 miles north of Grand Rapids. Park,” said University of Southern California professor Jeff Fellenzer, who teaches sports, business and media. The steep construction bills are being paid by $800 million in seat and luxury box sales, along with a 20-year, $220 million naming rights agreement with Levi Strauss and Co. announced May 8, clinching a partnership with the company that added copper rivets to denim pants 150 years ago to create the first blue jeans for California’s rugged gold miners, the so-called 49ers. A few weeks later, the NFL chose the stadium for the 2016 Super Bowl. While they’re in the black now, funding for the stadium has come with its share of rancor. “Our city has long deferred more important projects,” writes resident Bill Bailey, who heads a coalition of Santa Clara residents concerned that accommodating the 49ers draws funds away from critical needs like public libraries. “We believe that Santa Clara should not tax its citizens, increase its debt, or allocate land or any other valuable assets to build a stadium.” The 49ers and the city of Santa Clara initially partnered to build the stadium, with voters approving a $30 million public investment of redevelopment funds. Those funds were unexpectedly yanked by county officials last summer, after Gov. Jerry Brown eliminated all redevelopment agencies in the state. The 49ers sued after county officials said the $30 million needed to go to public schools and other agencies, and a court-approved deal was struck: the public agencies received half of the money they wanted, and the 49ers agreed to collect the $30 million over a longer period. Team officials still are happier with their new home than the old one. Notoriously blustery, with fog and wind blowing off the adjacent bay, Candlestick Park, or “The ‘Stick,” took another hit in 2011 when a pair of blackouts left fans in the dark for more than 20 minutes. It’s value is nil: weeks after the last 49ers game next season, the owners plan to blow it up. EJ Narcise, a principal at Team Services, LLC, a naming rights sports marketing sales and consulting firm in Rockville, Md., said the new stadium should bring new revenue to a team that is been in the bottom third of the NFL in that category. “Look, they’re a great team, but they have missed the revenues generated from the luxury seats, the premiums suites, the concession upgrades and the entertainment,” he said. The 49ers, meanwhile, are trying to make their building the most environmentally friendly stadium in the league. Solar panels will gather enough power so that even on Super Bowl Sunday they won’t need to pull electricity from the grid. The grass field and toilets use recycled water, the turf is geothermic, a bicycle valet and racks will welcome cyclists who can pedal in bike paths from miles around, even from the airport. Today, the 50-yard line is loaded with shipping containers, trucks and port-apotties to support the 1,100 construction workers buzzing around the site. But the grass is already growing on a turf farm about 90 minutes away, and should be rolled out next March. A few blocks from the stadium, at the 49ers showcase and sales office, fans on Friday took a virtual stadium walk through at a nine-foot digital touch wall, and sat in a mock-up suite before pulling out their credit cards one after another to buy the rights to eventually buy tickets. Before they did, they had a chance to see a 3-D version of what their view of the stadium would be. “We’re pretty excited. This stadium looks amazing, and it’s so close to our home,” said Jojo Daquigan, a postal worker in San Jose, who with his wife Cristina, a nurse, had just paid $5,000 in one-time fees for midlevel corner seats. In keeping with its Silicon Valley base of support, the 49ers’ assumption is that fans will be carrying smartphones, so the place will be entirely cash free and ticketless. Software engineers are already building apps for cellphones that will allow fans to order food, watch instant replays, listen to play by play and check bathroom lines from their seats. And about those bathroom lines? Here, Levi’s Stadium offers a definite upgrade: 1,135 toilets, up from Candlestick’s 885. Rope From Page 6 the same diameter.” It said the rope was less than a year old, had been factory-tested by its manufacturer and its breaking strength was certified before shipment. The rope was also inspected by CAMCAT when it was received last June. According to OnlineRopes. com, Dyneema has the “highest strength-to-weight ratio of any manmade material in the world. On weight-to-weight base, it is up to 15 times stronger than steel.” The pictures such cameras provide can be extraordinary. But in this case, the failure brought confusion and chaos to the racers and the fans. Coca-Cola 600 winner Kevin Harvick thought he was imagining things when he noticed the black rope on the track. He was among the lucky ones who escaped without damage. Busch said he heard a “thunk” when he ran over it and knew he’d have problems. Busch used a cellphone to take a picture of the mangled metal around his front, right-side wheel so his team could figure out how to repair the damage. Marcos Ambrose dragged a piece of the rope that got caught up in his car behind him on the track. Mark Martin also reported problems after driving over the rope.

NASCAR first threw a caution flag before two red flags came out. It eventually allowed the cars to come into the pits, giving crews 15 minutes to work on their cars. During the break, Busch’s crew frantically worked to repair several problems to the right front wheel well. After completing repairs, the crew slapped high-fives as the car rolled back on the track. Busch remained competitive and was running in the top five at the midpoint of the race. But his night ended in frustration MERCHANDSE FOR SALE Miscellaneous Jet Aeration Motors repaired, new & rebuilt in stock. Call Ron Evans 1-800-537-9528 when his engine blew up on lap 253. He said the engine problem was not related the rope damage. He thanked NASCAR for how it handled the unique stoppage. “I commend NASCAR for taking the initiative and letting us repair our damaged cars from the issue we had,” Busch said. Busch said he never saw the nylon rope. Ambrose wound up 10th behind Harvick, the second top-10 finish of the year for the Richard Petty Motorsports team. Kasey Kahne led 156 laps, most of the night, and was second to Harvick. He was as bewildered as everyone else with the TV cable across the track. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “I came around turn four, saw it wrapped around Kyle’s car, hit mine. I thought I was seeing things.” The camera hung in place over the large painted logo on the grass between the start-finish line and pit road. Fox broadcaster Chris Myers apologized during the telecast several times to fans, drivers and race teams for the disruption. The network’s statement offered “a sincere ‘thank you’ to the staff at CMS for attending to the injuries and keep us informed on this developing situation.” Busch wasn’t sure anybody had seen that happen before and offered a solution: “Maybe now we can get rid of that thing.” Miscellaneous Want To Buy Miscellaneous DISH NETWORK.

If you are single, your desirability and openness to different lifestyles makes relating easier. Be sure you know what you want before committing. If you are attached, the two of you opt to go on a special trip together. AQUARIUS provokes interesting reactions.

Tonight: Go to a movie or concert. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone will jump in and take control before you even can say “yes” or “no.” You have two choices; you either can be annoyed, or you can decide just to sit back and relax.

(AP) — Blaz Rola of Ohio State and Nicole Gibbs of Stanford won NCAA singles titles Monday. Gibbs repeated as women’s champion after routing a hobbled Mary Weatherholt of Nebraska 6-2, 6-4. Rola, who is from Slovenia, became the first men’s tennis champion for the Buckeyes, beating Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia 7-6 (8), 6-4. “Unbelievable,” Rola said. “It was tough. The conditions were not easy; very hot, humid and windy. But I kept my mind relaxed and fought for every point.” Rola’s parents watched the match live-streamed on the Internet from their home in Slovenia. Rola won on a disputed match point. His forehand landed near the line and was called in. Jenkins jumped up and down and pointed at a scuff mark where he said the ball landed. After the match, Rola conceded the ball appeared to have been out. “I saw the mark (Jenkins) was pointing at, and if that was the ball mark, then unfortunately it was out of bounds,” Rola said. “But, you know, that’s tennis.” Gibbs, a junior who plans to turn pro, had never played Weatherholt before. She was eventually able to dominate with a strong forehand after falling be- hind 3-2 early in the first set. “I’m still a little bit in shock,” Gibbs said. “We had never played each before, and coming into a match like this against a dark horse was a little unsettling. And then she hurt her knee and I was concerned that she had really hurt herself. It took a while to get back on track after that.” Weatherholt hyperextended her right knee late in the second set returning a hard backhand and was able to continue only after it had been heavily taped. Her knee has been operated on three times, most recently in September. Weatherholt won the next game 40-15 before the knee stiffened and forced her to limp badly the remainder of the match. “I have a history with this knee,” she said. “I fought through it as best I could. But she is good, very good. I did the best I could, and it is what it is.” Tim Duncan focused on Indians broadcaster not winning his 5th NBA title MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Tim Duncan is so close to his first NBA championship in six long years that the Spurs star isn’t worried about the little issue of being rusty once the finals actually start. “My sole focus is trying to get this done, trying to get another championship,” Duncan said. “I don’t care records; I don’t care age. I don’t care any of that stuff. I just want to do what I have to do to try to win a championship.” San Antonio ended its sixyear drought between NBA Finals by finishing a sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies 93-86 on Monday night for its fifth Western Conference title. The first sweep in a conference final since the Nets beat Detroit in 2003 also earned the Spurs a nine-day break before Game 1 of the finals June 6. Duncan said the benefit will be the Spurs should be completely healthy with their legs underneath them. “We’re going to be a little rusty starting the first game — it’s just how it is,” Duncan said. “We’re going to try to figure out how to practice, how to stay sharp. But bottom line, we’re its home floor since Feb. 8. They could use some time off between games after a physical series with the Grizzlies. The Spurs helped clamp down on Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol with Duncan, Tiago Splitter, Matt Bonner and Boris Diaw all taking turns pushing the Grizzlies away from their favorite spots on the floor in disrupting their high-low game. It worked quite well — the Spurs outscored Memphis in the paint in the final three games. Randolph, who averaged at least 18 points in the first two playoff series, averaged only 11 against San Antonio. “I know our bigs, they have a lot of bruises,” Parker said. “So it’s going to be great to rest. I know Timmy and Manu (Ginobili), they’re going to love the rest, and we’re going to regenerate and get ready for whoever we’re going to play.” It won’t be easy to remain in the rhythm that the Spurs used to drive repeatedly to the basket and pick apart Memphis on the pickand-roll. Trying to keep that rhythm and stay in shape over the next week will not be fun, Bonner said. going to be a little rusty. Hopefully, we can shake that off real quick and get right back to our rhythm.” All the Spurs worked hard to be just four wins away from adding a title to those won in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Duncan was the MVP of the first three of those finals, but he’s now 37 and wrapping up his 16th season. Tony Parker said he’s been doing his best to get Duncan back to this point for what might be the 6-foot-11 forward’s final chance at a championship. He promised Duncan they would return after blowing a 2-0 lead in the conference finals a year ago to Oklahoma City, and speculation is picking up on whether this might be Duncan’s final season in the NBA. “I think everybody on the team, we really wanted to do it for him,” Parker said. The Spurs now wait for Miami or Indiana to come out of the East after they swept two of their three opponents in the West. The Spurs took advantage of a three-day break in the conference finals to come into Memphis and beat a team that had lost only once on backing down on criticism CINCINNATI (AP) — Indians broadcaster Tom Hamilton isn’t backing down from his criticism of Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman for a high-and-inside pitch to Cleveland’s Nick Swisher and his on-air suggestion that there should be retaliation during the intrastate series. Chapman threw two inside fastballs to Swisher during the ninth inning of Cincinnati’s 4-2 win Monday. The first went over the batter’s head, the second was near it. Chapman and Swisher exchanged glares. After the second pitch, Hamilton — in his 24th season calling Indians games — said on air the pitch was intentionally aimed at his head. “What you’d love to see Swisher do here is knock it right off the temple of Chapman and see how much fun it is to have a ball coming at your head,” Hamilton said. “That is bush league.” Later, Hamilton predicted the Indians would retaliate during the series, which moves to Cleveland for two games on Wednes- David Santiago | El Nuevo Herald | MCT photo Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman, right, is congratulated by catcher Devin Mesoraco after closing out a 4-0 win against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, May 15. day and Thursday. “You just can’t be throwing at people’s heads,” Hamilton said. “The first one may have gotten away, the second one did not. And there are three more games to go with the Reds. This isn’t over yet. “I’ll guarantee you one thing: (manager Terry) Francona will make sure that this is settled on the field.” Hamilton declined to talk about his comments Tuesday before the second game of their series in Cincinnati, saying, “I don’t want to be the story here. What’s said is said.” As for saying he’d like to see Chapman hit in the head by a line drive, Hamilton said, “I’m not going to go over this. That sure wasn’t the intent to mean it that way.” Sponsored by Taylor Motors SUBMIT YOUR CHILD’S PHOTO TO WIN! www.mydailytribune.com • www.mydailyregister.com www.mydailysentinel.com SUBMISSIONS OPEN April june VOTING BEGINS VOTING ENDS 5pm, june 28 2 14 2 WINNERS Grand Prize • Newborn (0-12 months) VOTING CATEGORIES Grand Prize • Newborn (0-12 months) • Toddler (12-24 months) 60410183 2-3 Years Old • 4-5 Years Old • 6-8 Years Old • 9-12 Years Old TAYLOR NISSAN OF ATHENS 250 N.
