Signs announcing a closeout sale went up over the weekend. The store was closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for marking down merchandise, and reopened this morning at 9:30 a.m. to begin the liquidation sale of merchandise and fixtures, which owner Jason Ingels said will “go ‘til we’re mostly sold out.” Closing of the store marks the end of a business established in 1959 by the late George Ingles. His son Jason came into the business a number of years later and the two worked together until the elder Mr. Ingels retired and the ownership changed. Some years later Jason changed the business from furniture and appliance sales to electronics and then about 10 years ago to Radio Shack exclusively. Ingels admits that the decision to close the store was a hard one to make, but he felt he had no choice. “The decline in business started when Peoples Bank (located right across the street) closed its doors last year,” he said. “It took a lot the traffic right out of Middleport and without people on the street here to shop we lost business and we just couldn’t survive. When the bank closed that was when we began to see the decline in store traffic.” The Ingels family bought the three buildings, the one where the business is located and the two adjacent, from the late Maxine Coats. George Ingels opened the store in the largest of the three, the one on the corner, and Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel See CLOSING ‌| 3 A liquidation sale is under way at Ingels Radio Shack in Middleport.

Southern hosts Math Expo RACINE — The noise coming from the Southern Elementary gymnasium recently sounded like a huge carnival, but the truth is it was the school’s annual Math and Science Expo. Over 175 students and parents attended the funfilled learning event presented by the math and science departments at Southern Elementary. The theme of the expo this year was “There’s No Luck to Our Success”. Playing off of the “Unlucky #13” theme in reference to the year 2013, students chose the “No Luck to Our Success” theme. Teachers emphasized that luck is not what makes things happen, but that hard work is what yields results, not only in school but in real life. Students participated in games designed around the “Minute to Win It” game show. Students enjoyed games such as Marshmallow Launchers, Marble Stop, Catapults, Candy Molecules, Marble Balance, and many more exciting games. The games encouraged the exploration of force, gravity, air current, magnetic current, algebraic equation, and etc. Students manned many of the stations and were asked to explain what their particular project consisted of and explained how the experiment worked the way it did. Middle school math teacher Megan Edwards organized the event this year with the help from middle school teacher Lori Sharp. Principal Kent Wolfe held the annual t-shirt design contest with the winners having their design put on the back of the shirt. The winners of the t-shirt contest this year were Miranda Greenlee, Baylee Grueser, Nicholas Aguilar, and Isabella Fisher. Estimation jars were also set up with winners receiving prizes for the correct answers. Door prizes were given as well. Organizers of the expo extended a giant thank you to all teachers and staff who participated in this activity to make it such a success. Likewise, a thank you was extended to students, their families, and community members, who took the time to make this event special. Staff members who participated and help make this event possible were, Megan Edwards, Lori Sharp, Kelli Pape, Joe Cornell, Erin Lisle, Amy Roush, Martie Rose, Missy Hoback, Rachel Hupp, Beth Bay, Charisse Knight, Lisa Schenkelberg, Andrea Persons, Meg Guinther, Wendy Beegle, Dawn Hill, Patty Strubel, Tricia McNickle, Brenna Call, Kent Wolfe, Carolyn Robinson, Jenny Manuel, and Jeff Caldwell.

RACINE — While not exactly an experience like the hit reality show “Survivor”, Southern Elementary students played their own game of academic survival on the educational tool called “Study Island”. Study Island is a leading academic software provider of standards-based assessment, instruction and test preparation e-learning programs. Southern Local has used the “Study Island” program over the past ten years with excellent results, twice earning distinction as a district of excellence, while having its high school under principal Daniel Otto and elementary under Kent Wolfe achieve awards as “Ohio Schools of Promise.” The purpose of utilizing “Study Island” was to practice for the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA). This year special incentives were given to at-risk students under the direction of Administrative Assistant Scott Wolfe and the Southern Elementary PTO. The incentives were given to inspire students to excel at various levels of academics. The top award winner was Kelsi Rossiter, 5th grade, who had Blue Ribbons in each of the categories she participated in. Kelsi was the overall winner and also the 5th grade winner. Winning the K-3 awards were Kyle Bailey, first place, and Wilmar Bahena, second place; while Weston Smith, first, and Ellie Powell, 2nd place, claimed awards in the their sub-group. The 4th grade winner was Skyler Richards with Brad Roush taking second place; 6th grade- Alora Miller, first place and Shawn Sayre, second place; and 8th gradeCurtis Counts, first place. Curtis Counts was second overall with the second highest number of blue ribbons. Teachers participating in the contest were Patty Taylor, Patty Cook, Rachel Cornell, Amy Roush, Erin Lisle, and Autumn Lisle along with members of the general education staff.

Churches split on Scouts’ welcoming of gay youth Ohio Valley Forecast Local stocks Eagle Scout rank — strongly backed the decision to end sponsorship of a Scout troop. “He was set to be one of the youngest boys to make Eagle,” Reed wrote. “He said that he must uphold God’s word over the Boy Scouts’ decision no matter what the personal cost.” Among the latest to cut ties was Candlelight Christian Fellowship, a nondenominational church in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, which announced this week that it would end its charter of a Boy Scout troop at the end of this year. “We’re a Bible-believing church, and the Boy Scouts have opted to pursue a different moral path,” said the associate pastor, Buck Storm. “It’s a sad time for us.” In all, about 70 percent of the 116,000 Scout units in the United States are sponsored by religious organizations. Some are liberal denominations that welcomed the change of policy on gay youths and want the Boy Scouts to go further by lifting the still-intact ban on gays serving as adult leaders. But some of the largest sponsors are relatively conservative churches that had long supported the Scouts’ no-gays policy, and have been wrestling with how to respond to the May 23 vote. To the relief of BSA leaders, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has said it accepts the new youth policy and will not cut ties. The Mormons sponsor more Scout units than any other organization, serving about 430,000 boys. The United Methodist Church, the second-largest sponsor serving about 363,000 boys, has shied away from official endorsement or rejection of the BSA policy change. Some individual Methodist leaders have been critical, while the General Commission on United Methodist Men, which oversees the denomination’s youth programs, says it will continue to support Scouting. Similar divisions have surfaced within the Roman Catholic Church, the third-largest Scout sponsor serving about 273,000 youths. A Catholic pastor in Bremerton, Wash., the Rev. Derek Lappe of Our Lady Star of the Sea, wrote an open letter to his parishioners announcing that the parish would cut its ties with the Scouts and develop new youth programs of its own. “I am very aware that my objection to the change … is increasingly considered bigoted and backward,” Lappe wrote. “But I won’t put public Gravely Tractor Sales & Service Middleport Community Association Announces their July 4th Cornhole Tournament Dave Diles Park -NOW OFFERS- Jeff Warner Agency Nationwide Insurance 204 Condor Street • Pomeroy, Ohio 113 West 2nd Street Pomeroy, OH 45769 Tel: 740-992-5479 Fax: 740-992-6911 warnerj1@nationwide.com TEAM TOURNAMENT- 5pm $5.00 @ for 2 person team 1st $40.00 per team 2nd $30.00 per team 3rd 20.00 per team 4th 10.00 per team 740-992-2975 • 740-508-1936 Contact Brian Howard @ 740-525-5764 or brian.howard@fbsc.com to pre-register or sign up that day! 60422631 1st $40.00 2nd $30.00 3rd $20.00 4th $10.00 Manning K.

In a letter conveying the decision, the Rev. Brian Grady wrote that it would be “not only unjust, but immoral” for straight boys to have to share tents on camping trips with gay Scouts. And in Arlington, Va., Catholic Bishop Paul Loverde issued a statement saying the new membership policy “forces us to prayerfully reconsider whether a continued partnership with the BSA will be possible.” “It is highly disappointing to see the Boy Scouts of America succumb to external pressures and political causes at the cost of its moral integrity,” said Loverde, who predicted the policy change will bring “continuing controversy, policy fights and discord.” However, the National Catholic Committee on Scouting — which works with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to coordinate the church’s involvement in Scouting — has taken a more positive view of the policy change. “We should be encouraged that the change in BSA’s youth membership standard is not in conflict with Catholic teaching,” Edward Martin, the committee’s chairman, wrote last week in an open letter to Catholics involved in Scouting. Martin, an Eagle Scout with five children who’ve been Scouts, said his committee would form a task force to work with Catholic dioceses and parishes on how best to go forward in light of the change. “Our youth don’t want to leave Scouting. Scouting is still the best program around,” Martin wrote. “Let’s continue this important journey together.” Another conservative denomination, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, says it is “deeply concerned” by the policy change, and continues to deliberate on how it will respond. From its headquarters in Texas, the BSA has formed a task force to smooth the path of implementing the new policy, which will take effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Meanwhile, the BSA says it is reaching out to the organizations that sponsor Scout troops, including those which oppose the policy change. Nationwide is an equal housing opportunity insurer.

Kidnapping suspect off suicide watch at Ohio jail CLEVELAND (AP) — The Ohio man jailed on charges he held three women captive and raped them over a decade in his Cleveland house is no longer seen as a suicide risk, jail officials said Wednesday. Ariel Castro, 52, has been taken off “suicide prevention” watch, Cuyahoga County jail spokesman John O’Brien said. O’Brien declined to specify the reason for the status change, but jail logs show Castro’s first month behind bars has been uneventful. The most recent logs through Tuesday show Castro watches a lot of television, sleeps a lot and has met with his defense attorneys in recent days. When he asked to take a shower, he got permission and his cell was checked for contraband. None was found. Castro has been locked up since his arrest May 6, shortly after the three women emerged from his house and said they had been held captive. He is being held on $8 million bond. Castro’s lawyers said he will plead not guilty to rape and kidnapping charges involving the three women and to a kidnapping charge involving a 6-year-old girl he fathered by one of the women. The case is now before a county grand jury. The methodical logs reflect checks every 15 minutes around the clock: typically describing briefly what Castro is doing at the time. During a four-hour period last Thursday, there were 18 one-line notations, most a variation of “Round made Castro sleeping on mat” and “Round made Castro watching TV.” Counselors practice flag raising activities on a cold morning at the 2013 Counselor College. Case From Page 1 Bond for Ward was set at $100,000. He is in the custody of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. Ward has retained Charles Knight as counsel in the case. According to the indictment, on or about April 27, Ward did knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any dangerous ordinance. Ward has three other pending cases in county court with regard to the same victim. The other cases include charges of domestic violence and violating a protection order. On April 27, officials with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Salem Township Fire Department and the Columbus Bomb Squad responded to a call of a pipe bomb at a residence near Langsville on the west end of Meigs County Saturday afternoon according to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood. The female caller stated a device had been found in the building while cleaning it. The woman’s son reportedly found the device, and placed it in the yard. Deputies responded to the call and secured the scene until the bomb squad Closing rented the other two. One is now rented to Health Recovery, another is up for rent, and the store building which has three floors , will be for rent once the liquidation sale is over, according to the owner. He said he’s hopeful that in time occupants can be found, and extended thanks to the hundreds of people who shopped there over the years. The announcement of the store closing came as a shock to the community. Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach spoke of the loss not only to the owners, whom he wished well, but to the community. “What a loss it is,” he said. “What a shame the local business wasn’t supported, and how we need to come up with something that will reverse that.” He spoke of the continuing efforts to get a bank back in town, of the prospects for a grocery store, and of the need to attract businesses to the village. “The closing of Ingels is a real loss to the community,” he commented. “We desperately need something to reverse what’s happening here. The (Ingels) family has been here forever and it’s just a shame Ward is the caller’s former husband. Ward was arrested at the Gallia County residence of his brother on Saturday according to Wood.

Baldor The Associated Press SINGAPORE — After years of quiet and largely unsuccessful diplomacy, the U.S. has brought its persistent computer-hacking problems with China into the open, delivering a steady drumbeat of reports accusing Beijing’s government and military of computer-based attacks against America. Officials say the new strategy may be having some impact. In recent private meetings with U.S. officials, Chinese leaders have moved past their once-intractable denials of cyber espionage and are acknowledging there is a problem. And while there have been no actual admissions of guilt, officials say the Chinese seem more open to trying to work with the U.S. to address the problems. “By going public the administration has made a lot of progress,” said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has met with Chinese leaders on cyber issues. But it will likely be a long and bumpy road, as any number of regional disputes and tensions could suddenly stir dissent and stall progress. On Wednesday, China’s Internet security chief told state media that Beijing has amassed large amounts of data about U.S.-based hacking attacks against China but refrains from blaming the White House or the Pentagon because it would be irresponsible. The state-run Englishlanguage China Daily reported that Huang Chengqing, director of the government’s Internet emergency response agency, said Beijing and Washington should cooperate rather than confront each other in the fight against cyberattacks. Huang also called for mutual trust. President Barack Obama is expected to bring up the issue when he meets with China’s new president, Xi Jinping, in Southern California later this week. The officials from the two nations have agreed to meet and discuss the issue in a new working group that Secretary of State John Kerry announced in April. Obama’s Cabinet members and staff have been laying the groundwork for those discussions. Standing on the stage at the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference last weekend, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel became the latest U.S. official to openly accuse the Chinese government of cyber espionage — as members of Beijing’s delegation sat in the audience in front of him. The U.S., he said, “has expressed our concerns about the growing threat of cyber intrusions, some of which appear to be tied to the Chinese government and military.” But speaking to reporters traveling with him to the meeting in this island nation in China’s backyard, Hagel said it’s important to use both public diplomacy and private engagements when dealing with other nations such as China on cyber problems. “I’ve rarely seen that public engagement resolves a problem, but it’s important,” he said, adding that governments have the responsibility to keep their people informed about such issues. The hacking issue also featured prominently over two days of meetings between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a leading Chinese trade think tank in Beijing. “This is arguably the single most consequential issue that is serving to erode trust in the relationship,” said Jeremie Waterman, the chamber’s executive director for greater China.

Cybersecurity experts say China-based instances of cyber intrusions into U.S. agencies and programs — including defense contractors and military weapons systems — have been going on since the late 1990s. And they went along largely unfettered for as much as a decade. A recent Pentagon report compiled by the Defense Science Board laid out what it called a partial list of 37 programs that were breached in computer-based attacks, including the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense weapon, a land-based missile defense system that was recently deployed to Guam to help counter the North Korean threat. Other programs whose systems were breached include the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the F-22 Raptor fighter jet and the hybrid MV-22 Osprey, which can take off and land like a helicopter and fly like an airplane. The report also listed 29 broader defense technologies that have been compromised, including drone video systems and hightech avionics. The information was gathered more than two years ago, so some of the data are dated and a few of the breaches — such as the F-35 — had already become public. According to U.S. officials and cyber experts, China hackers use gaps in software or scams that target users’ email systems to infiltrate government and corporate networks. They are then often able to view or steal files or use those computers to move through the network accessing other data. WASHINGTON — A century of laws and rules curbing political activity by taxexempt organizations has left us with this: One statute says to qualify, groups must engage “exclusively” in social welfare projects while a regulation eases the threshold to “primarily.” Confused? So are President Barack Obama, the Internal Revenue Service and members of the very Congress that has been enacting contradictory laws on the subject for decades. “We have not done a good job, I think, of putting out guidance on even how to figure out what ‘primarily’ means,” Steven Miller, IRS acting director until Obama recently replaced him, told the Senate Finance Committee last month. The puzzlement over the requirements, which Obama recently called “a bunch of ambiguity,” is one sub-plot in the outcry over the IRS’ heavy-handed treatment of tea party and other conservative groups that sought tax-exempt status from 2010 to 2012. No one defends how the IRS purposely looked for conservative groups and demanded details about donors, website postings and other queries that the agency has conceded were inappropriately intrusive. Yet tax experts, former IRS officials and others agree that the rules governing political activities by tax-exempt groups — including a welter of vague government regulations — are maddeningly hard to follow. “It’s good for lawyers, it’s hard for organizations” trying to qualify for tax-exempt designation, said Abby Levine, who advises scores of liberal groups as legal director of the Alliance for Justice. Part of the confusion stems from Congress’ reaction to New York University Law School’s entry into the noodle business — but more on that later. In the spotlight is a revenue code section that has become increasingly attractive to many organizations, 501(c)(4), which grants tax-exempt status to so-called social welfare groups. Many organizations targeted recently by the IRS sought that designation. Over the years, such groups have been allowed to participate in overt election campaign activity as long as they focus mostly on social welfare — one of many broadly defined terms in this arena. While many groups engage seldom or never in politics, those who do, enjoy a valuable benefit: Donors can remain anonymous. After the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision allowing unfettered political spending by companies and unions, campaign expenditures by social welfare groups mushroomed. Between the 2008 and 2012 elections, it tripled to $254 million, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. The IRS received 3,357 applications for Section 501(c)(4) status last year, nearly double the number in 2010, according to the Treasury Department. Yet even as interest in the designation has grown, uncertainty over its requirements has remained. The story behind the confusion began in 1913, when Congress enacted legislation laying the groundwork for the modern income tax. Exempted from the corporate income tax were nonprofit organizations, including those “operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.” An IRS history says it is assumed that provision was requested by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Fast forward to 1947, when wealthy graduates donated the C.F. Mueller Co., a pasta maker, to the NYU law school. That transaction, and a court ruling letting NYU keep its Mueller profits tax-free, helped call attention to the tax treatment of nonprofits. NYU and other nonprofits had been fattening their coffers through ownership of factories, department store chains, cattle ranches, the Encyclopedia Britannica and other profitable businesses on which they were not paying taxes. One congressional estimate put the lost tax revenue at $173 million a year, a large sum at the time. Urged on by President Harry Truman, Congress passed a law in 1950 allowing some nonprofits to keep unrelated businesses if they paid income tax on them. But that left a contradiction: a 1913 statute saying groups must operate “exclusively” for social welfare purposes and the 1950 law saying they could do unrelated things, as long as they paid taxes on the profits. “So ‘exclusively’ couldn’t mean ‘exclusively,’ because later law acknowledged these organizations could engage in other activities” if you tax them, said Ellen Aprill, a tax law professor and expert on tax-exempt organizations at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. The government soon faced another issue — a 1954 revamping of the entire federal tax code. Feeling a need to overhaul tax regulations, the Treasury Department issued new ones in 1959. The new regulations addressed the two laws defining nonprofits by, for the first time, saying groups need only be “primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare.” The rules permit “direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns” for or against candidates, as long as that isn’t the group’s principal activity. “Congress made no effort to harmonize those statutes,” said Marcus S. Owens, a Washington tax attorney who spent the last decade of his 25-year IRS career heading its tax-exempt organizations division. So the government adopted the “primarily” approach “as the only methodology they could think of to harmonize the statutes,” Owens said.

Cueto back on DL with strained muscle CINCINNATI (AP) — Righthander Johnny Cueto went back on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a sore muscle by his pitching shoulder, the second time this season that the Cincinnati Reds have lost their top starter to the injury. Cueto was scheduled to start the final game of a series against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Instead, right-hander Pedro Villarreal was called up from Triple-A Louisville to take his place. It was Villarreal’s turn to start for Louisville on Wednesday, making him the first choice for the promotion. He made one relief appearance for the Reds at the end of last season. Cueto was on the disabled list from April 15 to May 19 with a strained muscle by the back of his right shoulder. He made three starts after his return, going 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA. He allowed only one hit in eight innings of a 6-0 win in Pittsburgh on Friday, but told the Reds afterward that the muscle was bothering him again. The Reds waited to see how his back felt in the next few days. They decided to put him on the disabled list again, hoping it heals completely. “It’s the same thing he had before,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He felt it a little bit after he pitched in Pittsburgh. He told us after the game he felt it. It’s not as bad as last time. We want to be precautious with it.” Baker said the Reds are optimistic that Cueto can return in two weeks. “He doesn’t have to go back to square one like he did the last time,” Baker said. “He’ll continue training.” The Reds also told outfielder Chris Heisey that he’ll start a rehab assignment on Friday in Louisville. Heisey became the starter in left field after Ryan Ludwick tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding into third base on opening day. Heisey pulled his right hamstring and went on the disabled list April 29. He was close to returning when he pulled it again. “I just feel better,” Heisey said. “I know it’s better. Looking back, I probably rushed it. It’s ready to play. It was no one’s fault other than mine.” Heisey expects to play several games at Louisville, given that he’s been sidelined for so long. �Page 6 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, June 6, 2013 OVP Sports Briefs 2013 Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The 2013 Frank Capehart Tri-County junior golf league begins play on Thursday, June 6, at Hidden Valley Golf Course in Point Pleasant.

And he was perfect for nearly his first five innings. The Yankees’ ace struck out nine and pitched his first complete game of the year to give his busy bullpen a rest and help New York finish off a sweep of the Indians with a 6-4 win over Cleveland. The Yankees’ top two relievers, closer Mariano Rivera and setup man David Robertson had each pitched an inning the last two nights, and the rest of the bullpen had seen a good amount of use, too, with five pitchers getting more than seven innings of work the last two days. “We really needed it,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “I didn’t really want to use Mo, but I would have with two outs in the ninth.” Sabathia made that unnecessary with a 1-2-3 ninth, his first clean inning since the fourth. Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner homered early for Sabathia, who didn’t look as if he would need much help at all after retiring his first 14 batters. “It’s just the way we would draw it up,” Gardner said. “He looked real good. He had no-hit stuff.” Sabathia said he didn’t even notice he was perfect until he heard fans cheering in appreciation. He was happier to close out the game himself. “I’m still trying to get a feel for the game,” in the fifth, Sabathia said. “Probably (would have noticed in) another inning or two.” New York swept the Indians in three games to fin- ish a homestand that began with two losses to the Mets and a 1-2 series against Boston. The Indians were swept in their only visit to the Bronx last season, too. Hafner, who was Sabathia’s teammate in Cleveland when the Indians beat the Yankees in the 2007 AL division series, hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Corey Kluber (3-4), and Gardner added a three-run shot in the second following Chris Stewart’s RBI single. It was enough for Sabathia, who threw three straight balls to leadoff hitter Michael Bourn, then looked dialed in. He struck out the side in the third, as well as the leadoff hitter in the fourth. Sabathia (6-4) did not allow a baserunner until Mike Aviles singled cleanly with two outs in the fifth inning, then he looked more pedestrian. “He was really spotting it up,” Cleveland’s Nick Swisher said of his former New York teammate. “I mean, you go into the batter’s box and you’re used to seeing 94-95 mph, and all of a sudden, you’re seeing these back door breaking balls coming at you, just — bam — right on the corner.” Cleveland put together a couple of runs in the sixth, on three straight singles capped by Jason Kipnis’ runscoring hit off first baseman Mark Teixeira’s glove. Nick Swisher added a second run when he reached on a fielder’s choice. Yan Gomes hit a two-run shot off Sabathia in the seventh inning to get the Indians within two runs. Kluber was rocked early, but gathered himself enough to make it through six innings with seven hits and a walk. He struck out eight, and only was charged with four earned runs because Bourn couldn’t handle Robinson Cano’s sinking liner in center before Hafner’s home run. He allowed three baserunners with seven strikeouts in his last 5 1-3 innings after Gardner’s homer. “I just left a few balls over the heart of the plate a little too much early on. The difference was, I didn’t make those mistakes after that,” Kluber said. “At that point, I was just trying to go deep in the game, continuing to get outs and just try to keep them there to give us a chance to come back and win.” NOTES: Drug agents are investigating a narcotics delivery to the home of Indians closer Chris Perez, authorities said.

MIAMI (AP) — The last time Chris Bosh played against the San Antonio Spurs, he was offensively brilliant. It seems like a long time ago. During the Eastern Conference finals, Bosh found himself in a baffling slump, missing 26 of his last 34 shots and not even reaching the doubledigit mark in scoring during any of his last four games — the longest such drought for the All-Star big man since a five-game streak that began during the first week of his NBA career. All that, he hopes, will be forgotten now. A new series has arrived, and the stakes couldn’t be higher when Bosh and the Miami Heat begin taking on the Spurs in the NBA Finals, with Game 1 set for Thursday night. “My confidence never goes anywhere,” Bosh said. “It never wavers. It’s always the same. I feel that I’m always capable of playing well. This is a different circumstance. I take it as that, and I move on.” That’s exactly what the Heat want to hear from their starting center. For three years now, the Heat — who have LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the roster — have routinely insisted that Bosh is Miami’s most important player. And against a Spurs team that has a consummate big man in Tim Duncan, along with a combination of size and athleticism that can easily give any opponent fits, the Heat will surely need help from Bosh if they’re to successfully defend their title. “I like the way he left off last series,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Very comfortable. He looked comfortable. Even though he didn’t necessarily convert a lot of his makes, it was more similar to his game. And he’s proven it before that one series doesn’t dictate necessarily what happens the next series, particularly when match-ups and styles of play are different.” Bosh scored nine points in the Game 7 win over Indiana, his best total in the final four games of that series. He shot 1 for 6 in Game 4, 3 for 7 in Game 5, 1 for 8 in Game 6 and then 3 for 13 in the final game of the East title matchup. That’s 28 points, total, in four games. He’s scored at least that many on 106 single-game occasions in his career. A quick start in Game 1 of the finals is what Bosh is looking for now, if for no other reason than to forget what he’s been dealing with of late. “We always want to be aggressive individually and as a team,” Bosh said. “You know, I want to really get going early offensively in games, because it helps me, we play better, I think I play better. Just coming out being aggressive and just really looking for my spots that establishes me early. And I think it propels me for the rest of the game.” The irony here is that while Bosh is in the worst offensive slump of his season — and most significant one of his career, arguably — is that when Miami visited San Antonio on March 31, he was an offensive fireplug. With James and Wade sitting out that night because of injuries, Bosh was the No. 1 option, all the way to the end. And the Heat pulled off an 88-86 victory when Bosh made a 3-pointer over Tim Duncan with about a second remaining, capping what was a 23-point night. Bosh had 23 points in his very next game as well. He’s gotten to the 20-point mark — and it was exactly 20 — only one time in his 19 appearances since. “I spent a lot of time with Chris in his house. We’re neighbors,” Wade said, beginning to tell a story of how he and Bosh spent the night before Game 7 of the Indiana series. “And I told him, I said, ‘Chris, it didn’t matter if you scored 30 points a game up until this point. If you get in Game 7 and score two points and we lose, you’ll feel just as bad or worse than you feel now. So it’s all about Game 7, man. It’s all about this moment. Let’s do whatever we can.’” Bosh made two big jumpers during a critical stretch of Game 7, as the Heat started pulling away toward what became a rout. Steelers QB Roethlisberger undergoes knee surgery PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger underwent what coach Mike Tomlin called “minor” surgery on Wednesday to deal with lingering discomfort in his right knee. The 31-year-old Roethlisberger, who will miss next week’s minicamp, is expected to return when Pittsburgh opens training camp in July. “This surgery will have no long-term effects on his health,” Tomlin said. The surgery is the second one on Roethlisberger’s right knee during his nine-year career. He missed four games in 2005 after having a similar procedure but came back to lead the Steelers to their fifth Super Bowl title. Roethlisberger had been a full participant during organized team activities but was concerned enough about the knee that he brought it to the team’s attention. Advisors suggested he have the surgery now to give him a clean bill of health when the season begins. The two-time Super Bowl winner has dealt with a series of issues the last several years. He missed one game and was limited in several others with a right ankle injury in 2011 and sat out three games in 2012 with a cracked rib that was in danger of puncturing his aorta. He was in the middle of a career year at the time but wasn’t the same when he came back as the Steelers fell to 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

MLB interviewing players CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Holden Thorp is packing up after nearly five years as chancellor at the University of North Carolina, preparing for his next job as provost at Washington University in St. Louis. It’s no accident he’s leaving a school that regularly plays for national titles at the NCAA’s highest level to one that competes at its lowest. Thorp’s done with bigtime college sports, and if he had his way, other school presidents would be finished with them, too. Many leaders just don’t have the training to handle a major athletics program, he argues. It’s a message that may resonate with administrators at institutions that have lately felt the sting of scandals tied to athletics. “I feel great compassion for my colleagues that are getting caught up in this,” Thorp said. “My main concern in this, and the reason I’ve been saying what I’ve been saying, is I’m worried about the people who are my friends. But I’m also worried about the institutions that are having their leadership diverted in this way.” Thorp will resign from his alma mater with its 18,000 undergraduates at the end of June to work at Washington (about 6,000 undergrads) after spending most of the past three years dealing with a withering array of NCAA and athletics-related problems. They dominated his time, despite the fact that — at least when he took the job — he was a novice in the business of athletics. He’s come to the conclusion that presidents should step aside and let their athletic directors handle the job. “Either we put the ADs back in charge and hold them accountable if things don’t work,” Thorp said in April during a campus forum, “… or let’s be honest and tell everyone when we select (presidents) to run Houses For Rent 2BR, 1BA, on Farm $600/month with utility allowance, 540-729-1331 3-BR - 2 story home in Bidwell, Also 3 Bdrm home in town.

MANUFACTURED HOUSING Call tenure of Joe Paterno and led to unprecedented sanctions from the NCAA. Murray Sperber, a critic of commercialization in college sports, wonders why presidents don’t stumble more often when it comes to overseeing a realm that is often foreign to them. Most come from the academic side and make their way through the administrative ranks that exist as separate worlds from athletics on a college campus, he said. “If you put me in charge of the Atomic Energy Commission, I would get in trouble,” said Sperber, an author and a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s graduate school of education. “I wouldn’t know what to say. It’s so inevitable that I’m kind of amazed nobody just stands up and says, ‘Look, these presidents don’t know anything.’” The idea of presidential control in athletics took hold with the recommendations of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics in the early 1990s. The commission was created by the Knight Foundation in 1989, after a string of college sports scandals created a sense that athletic departments had gotten out of control and threatened schools’ academic integrity. The commission noted in one report that 57 of the 106 schools then competing at the highest level of sports had been penalized by the NCAA in the 1980s, along with reports of athletes taking courses like “recreational leisure.” Putting the school president at the center of reform efforts was a key part of what the commission advocated. “The Knight Commission’s message remains that presidential responsibility for all elements of university life doesn’t stop at the entry of its stadiums, arenas and playing fields.” Amy Perko, the current executive director of the Knight Commission said in a statement Tuesday.

Clinic founder Anthony Bosch has agreed to talk with MLB, according to numerous reports, and union head Michael Weiner said Wednesday the commissioner’s office has assured the union that “no decisions regarding discipline have been made or will be made until those interviews are completed.” “It would be unfortunate if anyone prejudged those investigations,” Weiner said in a statement. Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz, Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon are among more than a dozen players whose names have been tied to the nowclosed clinic, Biogenesis of America. “Every player has been or will be represented by an attorney from the players’ association,” Weiner said. “The players’ association has every interest in both defending the rights of players and in defending the integrity of our joint (drug) program. We trust that the commissioner’s office shares these interests.” MLB has been seeking Bosch’s cooperation since Miami New Times reported in January that it obtained what it said were records detailing drug purchases by Rodriguez, Cabrera, Cruz and Colon. Yahoo Sports reported that Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, was mentioned in the records. MLB sued Biogenesis and its operators in a Florida court in an attempt to pressure Bosch, and a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Tuesday night that Bosch has agreed to talk to MLB. The agreement between Bosch and MLB was first reported by ESPN. Emil Infante, a lawyer who has made an appearance for Bosch in the Florida lawsuit, declined comment. Once MLB interviews Bosch and the players, it will have to determine what penalties to impose. Any suspensions for first offenders would be put on hold if the union files a grievance, a process that would put the matter in front of an arbitrator and delay possible sanctions for weeks or months. Second offenders would serve suspensions during the grievance process. Baseball’s drug agreement calls for a 50-game suspension for a first offense, 100 for a second and a AUTOMOTIVE AFTER MARKET RESORT PROPERTY GIVEAWAY to a Good Home Beagle mixed (possibly house dog).

Previously, during a 2011 scandal, Gee joked he was worried then-football coach Jim Tressel, who admitted to breaking NCAA rules, would dismiss him. — Rutgers University president Robert Barchi and the school have faced fierce criticism over the hiring of incoming athletic director Julie Hermann, who was accused of being verbally and emotionally abusive by players on the Tennessee volleyball team she coached in the 1990s. That came after the school fired men’s basketball coach Mike Rice for throwing balls at his players and berating them in practice. In the aftermath of Rice’s ouster, former athletic director Tim Pernetti also resigned. — At the University of Miami, president Donna Shalala has spent nearly two years dealing with an NCAA investigation of allegations that booster Nevin Shapiro provided thousands of dollars in improper benefits to Hurricanes athletes. She’s publicly criticized the NCAA’s probe, saying the school had been “wronged” and that the programs have “suffered enough” through self-imposed sanctions. — And, at Penn State University, former president Graham Spanier faces charges of perjury and concealing child sex abuse allegations involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky in a scandal that ended the long For Sale 2013 Honda Recon 250 low mileage 304-545-6739 or 304-8122379 Motorcycles 2006 Harley Davidson 1200 custom, nice condition $4,500, 2010 EZGO TXT 48 Volt Electric Golf Cart with charger $2,700, 1999 EZGO TXT Gas Golf Cart lift kit, new wheels & tires, Looks nice $4,000 740256-1410 MERCHANDSE FOR SALE lifetime ban for a third. While most past suspensions have been for positive drug tests, the drug agreement prohibits players from using or possessing banned performance-enhancing substances and allows for discipline for “just cause.” Among the players linked to the clinic, Cabrera, Colon and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal already have served 50-game suspensions following positive tests for testosterone announced by MLB last year. Most players have denied the Biogenesis link either directly or through spokesmen or lawyers. Rodriguez admitted in 2009 that he used performance-enhancing drugs while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03. As baseball’s highest-paid player with a $28 million salary this year, he would lose $7.65 million during a 50-game ban. Rodriguez, who turns 38 next month, has not played since hip surgery in January and is not expected to be available to the New York Yankees until after the All-Star break. The third baseman, a three-time AL MVP, has been working out since May at the team’s minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., and he drove past reporters without stopping when he arrived Wednesday afternoon. In addition to Rodriguez, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli was linked to the clinic. Cervelli, currently on the DL because of a broken hand, said he consulted Biogenesis for a foot injury, but didn’t receive any treatment. “We’ll let MLB handle everything and we don’t really have a comment,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after Tuesday’s 4-3 win over Cleveland. Girardi said the Yankees still planned for Rodriguez to rejoin the team after the All-Star break. As for the drug cloud that has hovered over baseball for years, Girardi said: “I think we all had hoped we’d gotten through it. But obviously, we haven’t.” Yankees outfielder Vernon Wells said it was too soon to draw conclusions. “Everything right now is speculative,” Wells said. “We can all sit here and wonder.” Braun failed a drug test in 2011, but his 50-game suspension was overturned by an arbitrator after the union filed a grievance and challenged the handling of his urine sample. Braun has acknowledged he was mentioned in Biogenesis records because his lawyers used Bosch as a consultant during the grievance.

The good news is that you get to choose; the bad news is that you have so much to choose from. Some of you will be bold and greet a new lifestyle or opt for more adventure. If you are single, you have a circle of potential suitors. Rather than commit, date until you find the right person. If you are attached, you might have a secret admirer. Consider keeping it that way in order to keep the peace. Your other half will need a lot of attention. A fellow GEMINI is quite capable of understanding you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Consider the role of control in your day-to-day life. You could be exhausted by a story, so stop and take the lead in this discussion. Your thoughts might not be as clear as you think. It also is possible that you don’t have the full story ... but you will. Tonight: Keep it low-key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’ll want to reach out to others right now. In fact, though you recently might have been rather upset with a friend, you will let the issues disappear. This person comes off as self-confident, but underneath, he or she is very scared. Tonight: Make dinner your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are in an ambivalent period right now, in regard to what you want. Allow yourself the space to be worry-free. In the next few days, more information will come forward. You could be overthinking a problem. Let go of rigidity. Tonight: Whatever you do, it seems perfect. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning to the max, when others seek you out. Fatigue could be an issue by midafternoon. Confirm what you are hearing, as vagueness seems to follow you throughout the day. Perhaps a fact or two have been left out. Tonight: Relax to music. Try a jam session! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Deal with a problem before it becomes too big for you to handle. A friend or loved one might be feeling rather whimsical. This person is only too delighted to spend a lot of one-onone time with you. Remain levelheaded, even if you feel pressured. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension builds. Understand that with the stress of feeling overwhelmed, you’ll want to consider reassessing a situation that could change your feelings and offer you a new perspective. A parent might want to share more of his or her feelings. Tonight: Get with the program. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Speak with someone directly, but keep in mind that he or she has been known to throw you off-kilter. Try not to internalize this person’s messages! Your sense of direction allows greater giveand-take. You might want to be closer, but in a more viable manner. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be touched by someone’s offer. How you feel and what you do with those feelings will make an enormous difference. Make a point of being more spontaneous and upbeat. A discussion puts a different slant on recent events. Tonight: Chat with loved ones over dinner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH No one makes a bigger effort than you do when it comes to staying focused. Key relationships where you need to flex could mark your plans. Follow through in order to show that you do care. Tonight: Make a suggestion with the expectation that it will be considered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to someone who seems confident and who has seen several of your ideas carried out. This person likes what he or she has seen. Be more open to possibilities that might be suggested. You have enough energy to zero in on what you want. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Lighten up, even if you are having difficulty achieving more of what you want. The moment you relax, nearly everything will fall into place. You could see a situation much differently, at that point. Allow more playfulness in. Tonight: Start the weekend early. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with a family member directly. You might not be getting the results you want. If you call it an early day and head home, you could be a lot more comfortable. Try to imagine how someone else might feel in the same situation. Tonight: Kick back and see what happens.
