On Wednesday, Mario Liberatore, chairman of the board of directors for PVH and Dr. David Porter, chairman of the board of directors for CHH, made the affiliation between the two entities official by signing the agree- ment on the dotted line. Of course, Marshall Health and its Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine are already affiliated with CHH and are along for what will no doubt be an interesting ride between the two hospitals. The affiliation, which has been in negotiations for months, was celebrated at an open house ceremony on Wednesday at PVH with speakers from both facilites. To be clear, this is an affiliation, not a merger or sale. PVH will keep its autonomy, retain its name and will continue as a full-service, separate hospital with its own medial staff and employees. The agreement was approved by the PVH Board of Directors on Nov. 18 and CHH Board of Directors on Dec. 3. Liberatore, who spoke at the open house, said this affiliation would “redefine healthBeth Sergent | OVP News care in the region” and “provide new health- Pleasant Valley Hospital and Cabell Huntington Hospital officially entered into an afcare choices in our community.” filiation agreement between the two institutions which will include collaborating with Larry Unroe, interim CEO of PVH, said Marshall Health and its Joan C.

That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding all motorists to buckle-up this upcoming holiday season and continue to do so throughout the New Year. This is in response to seven of the 13 killed during the Thanksgiving Holiday not wearing a safety belt. “It’s simple — safety belts save lives and reduce injury in crashes,” said Colonel Paul A Pride, Patrol superintendent. “It is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and your friends.” From 2010-2012, 1,193 people were killed in crashes who were not wearing an available safety belt. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 340 lives were saved in Ohio and 11,949 were saved nationwide in 2011 as a direct result of motor- ists buckling-up. Using a safety belt remains the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. According to Ohio’s 2012 Observational Seatbelt Survey, 82 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohio’s safety belt law. While these rates appear high, far too many Ohioans still do not buckle-up. Ohio’s safety belt law remains a secondary violation, however troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found to not be wearing their belt. Last year troopers wrote 94,461 citations for failure to wear a safety belt. Troopers ask that you wear your safety belt every time and insist that those who travel with you buckle-up as well. The public is encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers and drug activity. State’s first-ever double roundabout interchange now open HOCKING COUNTY — Local residents and the millions of visitors to Hocking Hills are now able to travel safely and freely thanks to the recent opening of the state’s first-ever double roundabout interchange at U.S. Route 33 and Ohio 664. “This project is more than just about safety,” said District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams. “It’s about producing a unique and beautiful gateway for the millions of visitors while at the same time creating opportunities for future economic development in and around the area.” ODOT District 10 broke ground on the $5.3 million project on April 10, 2013. The double roundabout design not only safely realigns the interchange, but features a through lane at each exit ramp allowing motorists to safely continue to Ohio 664 without entering the roundabout. In addition, the Ohio 664 bridge was replaced and widened nearly twice its original size. “We are delighted with the new double roundabout and increased safety for everyone traveling this busy roadway,” said Executive Director of Hocking Hills Tour- ism Association Karen Raymore.” When the landscaping on the roundabouts has been completed in spring of ‘14 they will provide a stunning entrance to the Hocking Hills region.” The interchange has been on the state’s Highway Safety Plan since 2003 as increased traffic traveling in this area has created congestion and overall safety concerns. For example, in just three years from 2007 to 2009, there were 42 total crashes — with more than a quarter of those crashes being dangerous angle crashes and another sixty-one percent of crashes being rear-ended incidents. The roundabout design virtually eliminates serious injury causing angle crashes as well as high speed rear end crashes. Roundabouts are part of the Federal Highway Administration’s proven safety countermeasures. Although the use of roundabouts is new for southeastern Ohio drivers, there are many benefits including: reducing overall crashes by 35 percent; reducing crash-related injuries by up to 76 percent; less cost to maintain. Potential budget Court: Reduced crack sentences not retroactive cuts as W.Va. revenues decline CINCINNATI (AP) — A 2010 law designed to eliminate harsher sentences for black offenders convicted of crack cocaine crimes should not apply retroactively, a federal appeals court ruled in a deeply divided decision that several dissenting judges wrote amounts to furthering racial discrimination. In its 10-7 Tuesday decision stemming from a Kentucky case and splitting largely on party lines, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati vacated an earlier decision from a three-judge panel of the court that found prisoners convicted under the old sentencing guidelines have a right to resentencing hearings. Tuesday’s majority’s opinion found that when Congress passed the Fair Sentencing Act in 2010, signed by President Barack Obama, it was not meant to apply retroactively to the thousands of prisoners sentenced under the old guidelines and that they must adhere to the law’s intent. The law changed the federal government’s previous 100-to1 ratio in sentencing people for possession of crack cocaine ver- sus powder cocaine, meaning someone caught with 5 grams of crack was sentenced the same as someone caught with 500 grams of powder. The disparity had long been criticized as racially discriminatory because it disproportionately affected black defendants, who more commonly were convicted of crack cocaine offenses. For instance, black people made up 30 percent of reported crack users but 83 percent of federal crack convicts, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. In contrast, white people accounted for 62 percent of users but just 7 percent of convicts, the commission found. The 6th Circuit majority rejected arguments that inmates who can’t get their sentences reduced under the new law are being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of their Eighth Amendment rights. “The Eighth Amendment is not a ratchet that makes a harsher system of penalties unconstitutional the moment a more lenient one is … adopted, a theory that would have the perverse effect of discouraging lawmakers from ever lowering criminal sentences,” according to the opinion, written by Judge Jeffery S. Sutton, a George W. Bush appointee. The justices did express some regret, writing that they’re not arguing against the law being applied retroactively, just that it doesn’t and that “Congress should think seriously about making” that change. Five of the seven dissenting judges each wrote their own opinions about why they strongly disagree, with some criticizing the majority opinion of falling on the wrong side of justice. “It is not Congress’ but this court’s decision to create the vast disproportionately in sentencing,” wrote Judge Gilbert S. Merritt, a Carter appointee. “Both the Department of Justice and this court know the facts, the degree of disproportionately, the irrationality of the disparity, and the racial makeup of the prison population that must suffer the consequences.” Judge Eric L. Clay, a Clinton appointee, wrote: “This court’s opinion furthers the injustice that has resulted from such an unequal sentencing regime.” Ratings service reduces outlook on W.Va. SBA bonds CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s declining gambling revenue could affect the rating of the School Building Authority’s excess lottery revenue bonds. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services downgraded its outlook for the bonds on Tuesday to negative. The ratings service said there’s a one-in-three chance that it could lower the bonds’ rating from AAA within two years because of declines in gambling revenue. The authority uses about $19 million from the West Virginia Lottery’s Excess Lottery Fund annually to make payments on the bonds. It has about $260 million outstanding in bonds issued to fund school improvements and construction across the state. Gambling revenue from West Virginia’s four racetrack casinos has been hurt by competition from casinos in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Much of the Excess Lottery Fund’s revenue, which helps pay off bonds at several state agencies, is generated by racetrack video lottery. “The outlook revision reflects declines in revenue and the potential for weaker debt service coverage in the future due to increased competition from neighboring states,” Standard and Poor’s analyst John Sugden said. Analysts noted the excess lottery revenue stream provides about 4.7 times the maximum annual debt service required to fund the authority’s bonds. To maintain a top AAA rating, analysts prefer that ration remain at or above four times the debt service. The state projects that it will have 4.1 times the amount of revenue to cover the debt service payments in its 2014 and 2015 fiscal years. But analysts said the state could fall below the preferred level if revenue comes in worse than expected. “Management’s role in Do we have your attention now?

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s spokeswoman, Amy Shuler Goodwin said the administration was committed to maintaining the SBA’s AAA bond rating. “While these long-term financial challenges are not new for many states across the country, this administration continues to work on strategies to deal with these ongoing budget constraints,” she told the newspaper. Woman to testify against husband in Ohio slaying ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — A prosecutor says the wife of a man charged with killing his father in southeastern Ohio has agreed to testify against her husband. The Athens County prosecutor says 37-year-old Rhonda Degarmore, of Glouster, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Athens to felony charges of theft, receiving stolen property and obstructing justice and agreed to testify against husband Paul J. Roberts. Roberts has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder in his father’s death. Prosecutor Keller Blackburn says Roberts hit his father in the head with a pipe in October and dumped the body beneath his father’s porch in Glouster, about 15 miles north of Athens. Blackburn says Degarmore could have been sentenced to more than five years, but received four years and 11 months. Degarmore’s attorney didn’t immediately return calls Wednesday. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s administration is considering mid-year budget cuts to offset a decline in state revenues. The November revenue report released Tuesday shows tax collections were about $57.4 million below estimates for the fiscal year that began July 1. A majority of the decline was due to personal income tax collections, which were $37 million below estimates for the period. Tomblin chief of staff Charlie Lorensen told one newspaper that the state could impose cuts or a hiring freeze to balance the budget. Another option is to use funds in accounts set up by the Legislature. But the Governor’s Office would need legislative approval to do so he said. “We’ll take corrective action,” Lorensen told the newspaper. “It’ll be painful, but it’ll bear fruit.” The report shows November tax collections were $14.9 million below estimates. Deputy revenue secretary Mark Muchow told media outlets that coal and gas severance taxes accounted for most of the shortfall. Muchow expects severance taxes to rebound in December. He said the state collected nearly $28 million in severance tax payments on Monday and Tuesday, which will reduce the state’s year-to-date deficit to “the mid-40s range.” * Per Mo For 12 Mos.

Today’s students are being asked to think more critically. For example, what might a character say in an email to a friend? “It’s hard. But you can handle this,” Lawson tells them. Welcome to a classroom using the Common Core State Standards, one of the most politicized and misunderstood changes in education for students and their teachers in kindergarten through high school. In 45 states and the District of Columbia, Lawson and other teachers are starting to use the standards to guide what skills students learn and when. To hear the standards’ critics — mainly tea party-aligned conservatives, but also some parents and teachers — tell it, there are few things more dangerous happening in the country. But in this fast-growing community in northern Delaware, it’s just another day in the classroom. ___ The Common Core State Standards are academic benchmarks that outline the skills a student should have at each level. For instance, third-graders should know how to find the perimeter of a figure. A fifth-grader should be able to compare and contrast two characters from a story. The standards were created by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to improve academic achievement and increase accountability. President Barack Obama and his administration embraced them. That led critics, including Republican members of Congress, to call the standards a national curriculum, or “Obamacore.” The standards are not a curriculum, despite the opponents’ claims. Each state, school or even teacher can determine how to help students reach those standards. Alaska, Texas, Nebraska and Virginia decided not to adopt them. Minnesota has adopted only the English standards. At the core of the standards is a reduced emphasis on memorization. Students now have to connect the dots and apply critical thinking. It’s what experts call higher-order thinking. Teachers say it’s preparing students for life after high school. That has made classrooms much more of a hands-on proposition. ___ In teacher Melissa Grieshober’s classroom, students have set aside work sheets in favor of a game board. On their 10-by-10 grid of numbers, they are playing a version of capture the flag, using flashcards to guide their moves: a “22-7” card lets them move 15 spaces; “16-9” allows them to move 7. In pairs, the students try to reach targets on the board, not only by solving the problems at hand but by figuring out which cards would get them closer to their targets. It’s as much about probability, predictability and luck as it is about rote memorization of addition and subtraction tables. In fact, in Grieshober’s classroom, there is no right or wrong way to figure out such problems. Yes, there are correct answers. But students are encouraged to explain how they got there. “How did you reach that number?” Grieshober asked one of her thirdgrade students. “Show me your strategy for solving this.” But what about those who say schools exist to teach students facts, such as 15 subtracted from 20 equals five? “We are asking kids to do more, and to dig deeper,” Grieshober said after class. “We are teaching them to be lifelong problem solvers.” She knows the criticism and political punch it carries. But she isn’t ready to ditch the benchmarks. “It’s eye-opening when you come into a school,” Grieshober said. “I encourage any politician to go into a local school and see what it is.” ___ Critics’ biggest disagreement with the standards is that students and teachers are being expected to do more and do it more quickly. If either group doesn’t keep up, there are serious consequences. “Honestly, it’s overwhelming at first,” said Lara Crowley, an English and language arts specialist who is coaching teachers on the Common Core standards in Delaware’s Appoquinimink School District. “I had a hard time wrapping my head around how this was going to work.” For instance, subtraction is now introduced in kindergarten instead of first grade. “We were nervous,” Crowley said. “It raises the bar for us.” For the students as well as the teachers. Coinciding with the new standards are new tests for students and evaluations for teachers. The tests, mandated under the George W. Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law, help states identify schools that are struggling and provide them extra help. The teacher evaluations were not originally part of the Common Core. But in exchange for millions of federal dollars to help them avoid layoffs during the worst of the recession, states agreed to greater accountability for students and teachers. Many opted to go with the Common Core and linked students’ progress with teacher performance.

But we’re going to do our best for the students,” said Silver Lake Elementary School principal Cynthia Clay, a 31-year educator who has insisted her teachers receive training on the new standards. Teachers meet in the evenings, during their planning periods and exchange emails asking how they might best approach the standards. Clay pulled together teachers with similar levels of experience so they could share their stories and realize they aren’t alone in their frustrations. “In a perfect world, the tests would reflect how well the students are learning,” said Melissa Bowser, a 15year classroom veteran. But she, like her colleagues, expects there will be a decline in student scores. “It will take two or three years,” said Sherry Frangia, who has taught for more than 30 years and is bracing for the dip in scores. That doesn’t mean testing is the enemy. “We need some sort of evidence that they’re learning,” Frangia said. “We didn’t get into teaching to stand up here and have nothing to show for it.” ___ Back in Lawson’s classroom, fifthgraders are continuing work on a lesson about points of view. Students are clustered in groups as Lawson read aloud Judy Blume’s 1974 short story, “The Pain and the Great One.” Unlike previous years, when students were asked to remember basic details about the plot and characters, the questions this year weren’t as simple. She assigned each student a character in the book and then told them to write an email message from that character to a friend. “I need to see all pencils moving, friends,” she says. In classrooms at non-Common Core schools, the assignment might have been filling out a work sheet with questions about which character said what. Now, the students are being asked to take the reading a step further and to critically question whether their character was an honest narrator. “It’s not in the story. You will have to infer here,” Lawson says. Students don’t seem to mind. “We’re doing things, not just sitting there and listening,” fifth-grader Jon Warner said after the lesson. “My opinions matter.” In fact, students are encouraged to disagree with their classmates and push them to defend their thinking. “Are we allowed to have different opinions about this?” Lawson says, urging her students to share differing opinions about the picture book. “Yes, as long as you have evidence to back this up.” the profound, profane Carolyn Thompson The Associated Press SYRACUSE, N.Y. — It is public art made of private wishes. In a phenomenon spreading across the globe, oversized blackboards, painted on buildings and freestanding displays, invite passers-by to complete the sentence: “Before I die I want to …” Answers, some profound, some profane, are written on stenciled lines with pieces of sidewalk chalk picked from the ground below. “… make my dad proud.” “… find the yin to my yang.” Since artist Candy Chang created the first wall on an abandoned house in her New Orleans neighborhood in 2011, more than 400 walls have gone up in the United States and more than 60 other countries, including Kazakhstan, Mexico, Iraq, Haiti, South Korea and South Africa. “… be happy.” “… see Italy.” “I’ve been surprised by how quickly people have dropped their guards and written sincere and sometimes heartbreaking things on these walls,” said Chang, who said the first wall was inspired by the loss of a loved one. “It reassures me that I’m not alone as I try to make sense of my life.” “… eat more everything.” “… get my wife back.” “… slow down for a moment and maybe even stop.” “It’s an honest mess of the longing, anxiety, joy, pain, gratitude, insecurity and wonder you find in every community. … It’s like collective therapy in public space,” said Chang, responding to questions via email. Chang earned a master’s degree in urban planning and sees in public spaces the potential to unify and communicate. Her own entries have ranged from “enjoy more places with the people I love” to “revive a ghost town.” “I don’t know if maybe you’re more likely to do it because now it’s out there for the world to see, there’s just something magical about stuff like this,” said Sara McAlister, 22, after stopping to write on a former factory building in Syracuse. “I think putting it out there, even considering the question, is going to make a difference.” “Travel the world,” “brighten someone’s day,” wrote McAlister, a bartender who recently finished a master’s degree in social work at Syracuse University. “And between you and me, I wrote, marry this one over here,” she said, nodding toward her boyfriend, Patrick Kraushaar, 26, who was writing “inspire someone positively” and “make my family proud.” “It’s almost like positive imagery,” Kraushaar said after putting his chalk down. “It helps bring it to fruition, maybe?” Building owner Rick Destito painted the “Before I Die” wall after seeing the idea on Facebook. “It’s such a simple idea but it resonated so much with me because there are so many things that I want to do before I die,” said Destito, who is transforming the former gear factory into artist and rehearsal studios. He has watched people of all ages and backgrounds stop and write, some lingering, others dashing off a hope and hurrying off. “… see a cure for autism.” “… grow a moustache.” “… get clean.” Nyquis Turner, 16, stopped to write, “play in the NFL.” “Find a cure for cancer. Be famous,” Lynn Morehouse read from one of two boards that went up last month in Providence, R.I. “Some of them are funny. Some of them are a little off the wall. … I like it.” “… find alien life.” “… tell my dad I’m gay.” Chang said a universal theme is personal well-being, citing repeat entries like: “come to terms with who I am,” “have no regrets,” “forgive and be forgiven,” “heal.” A hardcover book, “Before I Die,” released earlier this month by St. Martin’s Press, permanently captures some of the answers, which are often otherwise erased to make room for more. “Some walls reflect the current politics of the region,” Chang said. “But for the most part, the walls have shown just how universal our hopes are. “We want to love and be loved,” she said. “We want to see the world. We want to help others. We want to understand who we really are.” 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.

(AP) — Recordings released Wednesday of 911 calls from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting show town dispatchers urged panicked callers to take cover, mobilized help and asked about the welfare of the children as the boom of gunfire could be heard at times in the background. One caller told police in a trembling, breathless voice that a gunman was shooting inside the building. “I caught a glimpse of somebody. They’re running down the hallway. Oh, they’re still running and still shooting. Sandy Hook school, please,” the woman said. In the minutes that followed, staff members inside the school pleaded for help as Newtown police juggled the barrage of calls. The calls were posted on the town’s website under a court order after a lengthy effort by The Associated Press to have them released for review. An unidentified teacher called from a classroom to the left of the front entrance to report what sounded like gunshots in the hall. She said she was in the room with all her students and hadn’t yet locked the door. “Keep everybody calm, keep everybody down, get everybody away from windows, OK,” the dispatcher said. Another woman, who was shot in the foot, reported that she was in a classroom with children and two other Ohio city council opposes injection well ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — A city council in southeastern Ohio is the second public body to oppose a proposed well for gasdrilling wastewater in the region. Citing public health concerns, the Athens City Council voted to support the county commission’s objection to the proposed injection well in Troy Township southeast of the city. One local newspaper reports that county com- missioners sent a letter in September to the state asking for a public hearing on the application by K&H Partners. The letter called it a “highly deficient application that will not prevent pollution of land, surface water and drinking water sources.” The city council voted unanimously Monday night to support the commissioners’ objection. The state says there is no evidence the proposed well would be unsafe. Meth From Page 1 It was reported a three year old female child was present and resides in the residence. Both Reiber and Caldwell are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree, according to the complaint filed in Meigs County Court. Reiber and Caldwell both appeared in Meigs County Court on Wednesday for an initial appearance. Bond for both was set at $25,000 with 10 percent permitted. Trenton Cleland was appointed to represent Reiber, and Jeremy Fisher was appointed to represent Caldwell. Both are scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 12. Reiber is being held at the Meigs County Jail and Caldwell is incarcerated at the Middleport Jail. Other agencies assisting were the Athens County Sheriff’s Office and the Middleport Police Department, for neutralization of the methamphetamine lab, and the Racine Fire Department. Contests Local School, followed by hiring Jenni Durst for the position. Also hired were Michelle Wilson as a personal tutor for a handicapped student, Chasity Martin as a substitute secretary, and Michael Kennedy as head varsity track and field coach. As for the matter of accepting the resignation of Darla Boggs as a bus driver, while tabled in the opening session, it was referred for further discussion in executive session after which the regular meeting was reopened for action on the matter. The Board denied the employee grievance which had been From Page 1 pursuing an affiliation with CHH had everything to do with CHH’s “commitment to quality” as well as its affiliation with Marshall Health. In addition, the partnership is hoped to attract and recruit more physicians, some of whom will likely be making their way through Marshall’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Local patients would be treated at PVH but have access to specialists at CHH for tertiary care. Brent Marsteller, president and CEO of CHH, said the affiliation represented two “communities aligning for the future” in a partnership which would enhance the best of all the organizations involved. He said hospitals which are partnering for that future can better withstand the changing healthcare climate. “We’re going to be better together,” Marsteller said. Porter also spoke to those gathered, stressing, “This isn’t about the institutions, this is about you; your family and friends; it’s about bringing the best healthcare to both communities.” Dr. Agnes Simon also echoed Porter’s sentiments, saying, “this is about services we will provide our community.” BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) After the ceremony, Marsteller said one of the first things residents in Mason County will see from this affiliation is hopefully an increased volume of physicians in the area. He added, PVH will continue to keep patients at its main campus but referrals to specialists at CHH will benefit both institutions to drive growth and promote a sustainable future. Marsteller said CHH was not in talks with any other facilities for similar affiliations. Dr. James Becker, associate dean for clinical affairs from the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, said personnel with Marshall Health will hit the ground running in Mason County to provide staff specialists and to keep patients here; to keep PVH a “community hospital.” Becker said by doing this, it would offer easier options for families who otherwise would have to travel great distances to get care which will now be offered at home or closer to home. In addition, Becker said he expected to see many medical students receiving training and contributing back to PVH which would in turn give them a deeper understanding about patient care. “We’re doing business with a quality partner,” Charles Lanham, member of the PVH board of directors said after the ceremony, saying this affiliation will provide quality service at the local level. Lanham said PVH already has “great people” on staff and this affiliation will open a broader market base to attract and keep more patients. With recent layoffs at PVH and somewhat of a tumultuous year, the news of the affiliation seemed to come as welcome news which is bringing with it opportunity for growth and that sustainability Marsteller spoke about. The agreement includes shared opportunities for group purchasing and service contracts to achieve savings. This means that one computer system will flow at both campuses so that physicians can seamlessly access patient records at either location. According to PVH and CHH, it also means “greater efficiencies and economies of scale in purchasing arrangements” and ways to “work together to identify, define and implement best practices for clinical and business operations.” Another aspect of the management services agreement signed by both parties Wednesday will be naming a full-time CEO for PVH which will serve, as well as be a member of, the CHH executive team. This CEO will remain at the PVH campus.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A proposal to adjust Ohio’s renewable energy and efficiency mandates has stalled for a second time amid opposition from environmental and consumer interests and some majority Republican lawmakers. Senate Public Utilities Chairman Bill Seitz, who sponsored the measure, cancelled a scheduled committee vote Wednesday, signaling an uncertain fate for the sweeping bill. Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, had made significant revisions to the bill after it stalled before Thanksgiving in hopes of lining up needed support. That included removing a provision that would have allowed power companies to opt out of meeting some state alternative energy requirements. State and national advocacy groups struck out against the measure, saying it would harm Ohio’s budding renewables industry, hike electric bills and favor politically generous utility executives over average consumers.

Vote on divisive Ohio energy bill delayed again Together 10 (WBNS) From Page 1 From Page 1 In one of the recordings released Wednesday, dispatchers were heard making calls to Connecticut state police that apparently rang unanswered. One of the three unanswered calls rang for at least 50 seconds. State police picked up on a fourth call. But state police had already been dispatched to the school by the time those calls were made, according to a timeline and call log supplied by Newtown officials. In all, seven recordings of landline calls from inside the school to Newtown police were posted Wednesday. Calls that were routed to state police are the subject of a separate, pending freedom of information request by the AP. Prosecutors opposed the tapes’ release, arguing among other things that the recordings could cause the victims’ families more anguish. “We all understand why some people have strong feelings about the release of these tapes. This was a horrible crime,” said Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor and senior vice president. “It’s important to remember, though, that 911 tapes, like other police documents, are public records. Reviewing them is a part of normal newsgathering in a responsible news organization.” As the town prepared to release the recordings, the superintendent of Newtown schools, John Reed, advised parents to consider limiting their families’ exposure to the media. adults, but that there was no way to safely lock the door. The dispatcher told her to apply pressure to the wound. One of the first calls came from a custodian, Rick Thorne, who said that a window at the front of the school was shattered and that he kept hearing shooting. While on the line with Thorne, the dispatcher told somebody off the call: “Get everyone you can going down there.” Thorne remained on the phone for several minutes. “There’s still shooting going on, please!” the custodian pleaded to a Newtown 911 dispatcher as six or seven shots could be heard in the background. “Still, it’s still going on!” The gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, shot his way into the school the morning of Dec. 14 and killed 20 children and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school. Newtown police officers arrived at the school within four minutes of the first 911 call, but nearly six minutes passed before they entered the building as they sorted out concerns over a possible second shooter, according to a prosecutor’s report issued last week. It’s not clear whether the delay made a difference because Lanza killed himself one minute after the first officer arrived on the scene, according to the report. 42 (A&E) 52 (ANPL) 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)

Reds add Jay Bell as bench coach, Long for hitting CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds have filled out their coaching staff for first-year manager Bryan Price, hiring former Pirate Jay Bell as their bench coach. Bell was the Pirates’ hitting coach last season, when they beat the Reds in a onegame wild card playoff. He was the bench coach for Bob Melvin in Arizona for five years. The Reds also hired Don Long as their hitting coach Wednesday. Long spent the last three seasons with Atlanta as a minor league hitting coordinator. He also spent three years as the Pirates’ hitting coach. Jeff Pico will fill Price’s spot as pitching coach. Pico spent 11 seasons with Arizona. The staff includes bullpen coach Mack Jenkins, first base coach Billy Hatcher, third base coach Steve Smith, catching coach Mike Stefanski and Freddie Benavides, who will focus on the infield. Stewart says Mobil 1 renews sponsorship with team LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tony Stewart said Tuesday that ExxonMobil has renewed its multiyear sponsorship of both the threetime NASCAR champion and StewartHaas Racing. Stewart made the announcement that Mobil 1 will continue its relationship with him and his team while hosting the yearend edition of “Tony Stewart Live” on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Mobil 1 will be the primary sponsor on Stewart’s Chevrolet for 11 races. Stewart missed the final four months of the season with a broken leg, but is expected to return to his car at the season-opening Daytona 500 in February. Stewart believes Mobil 1 was instrumental in Danica Patrick’s historic polewinning run for the Daytona 500, as well as Stewart and Ryan Newman qualifying in the top 10. “A very true test and example of what Mobil 1 is all about was qualifying at Daytona, the biggest race of the year, for the Daytona 500,” he said. “Danica getting the pole, all three of us were in the top 10. You know, if one car qualifies good you say that team and that crew chief did a great job, but to have all three cars there, that was Hendrick engine department, but there’s a difference between their four cars and our three cars, Mobil 1. “So it definitely was a showcase for Mobil 1’s products and they’ve just been unbelievable partners.” 2014 calendar has F1 and NASCAR in Texas same day AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Formula One and NASCAR will be racing deep in the heart of Texas on the same day next year. The FIA, international motorsports’ governing body, released its 2014 calendar Wednesday, placing the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin on Nov. 2. That’s the same day as the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, a three-hour drive from Austin. Texas Motor Speedway says it has the capacity for up to 191,000 fans. Track officials did not immediately respond to requests for attendance figures for their 2013 Sprint Cup races and NASCAR does not provide them. The U.S. Grand Prix had an announced a crowd of 113,162 for the Nov. 17 race, down slightly from the 117,429 at the inaugural race in 2012. The Nov. 2 date for the 2014 U.S. Grand Prix allows F1 to avoid a crush in Austin similar to this year when the race was held the same weekend as a University of Texas home football game. The provisional race calendar initially had the U.S. Grand Prix on Nov. 8, the same weekend Texas is scheduled to play West Virginia at home, which would have again stretched the city’s ability to provide hotel space and transportation. Texas Motor Speedway has already juggled the schedule for its April race weekend, moving its planned Sprint Cup race from the night of Saturday, April 5, to Sunday, April 6, to avoid a sporting conflict with the NCAA Final Four in nearby Arlington. As expected, the F1 calendar dropped plans to race in Mexico City and New Jersey, leaving Texas and Montreal as the only North American stops on the international circuit. Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone had said last month he didn’t expect either race to be on the 2014 calendar but hoped to have them in 2015. Sebastian Vettel of Germany won his fourth consecutive world title last season. In 2014, F1 will change from the current 2.4-litre V8 engines to a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged unit.

These teams will meet again on January 24, at Cross Lanes. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers coach Mike Tomlin’s ill-timed two-step has cost him $100,000 and could cost his team a pick in next year’s draft. The league fined Tomlin $100,000 on Wednesday for interfering with a play against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving. The NFL also said it would consider docking Pittsburgh a draft pick “because the conduct affected a play on the field.” Tomlin was not penalized on the play, though the NFL said Tomlin should have been flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct for nearly colliding with Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones during a kickoff return midway through the third quarter of a 22-20 Ravens victory. The seventh-year head coach called the play “embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal and a blunder” but stressed it was not intentional. “I apologize for causing negative attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization,” Tomlin said in a statement Wednesday. “I accept the penalty that I received. I will no longer address this issue as I am preparing for an important game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.” Tomlin was standing on the restricted white border between the sideline and field during Jones’ kickoff return. Jones had to swerve to avoid running into the coach and was tackled after a 73-yard return that might have gone for a touchdown if not for the obstruction. Tomlin briefly stepped onto the field before he jumped back. Tomlin said Tuesday he was “mesmerized” by watching the return on the video board and would accept any repercussions for his actions. “I don’t know what a just punishment is,” he said Tuesday. “I have no idea. I’m not acting in a way to preserve my wallet and my money. My wallet and my money is what it is because of the game of football.” Tomlin’s players have defended him, noting it’s not unusual for players or staff members to find themselves on the edge of the field during a play. Safety Ryan Clark admitted to standing near the playing surface while watching the Steelers attempt a late 2-point conversion in the final minutes against Baltimore. “I’m always on the field,” Clark said. “I sit on the field, but I try to sit on it away from anything.” Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger declined to discuss whether the loss of a draft pick would be too excessive but added he doesn’t think the furor over Tomlin’s neartrip will serve as a distraction for Pittsburgh (5-7), which is still in the playoff hunt. “If anything, guys joke about it more,” Roethlisberger said. “They’re the ones pulling up the pictures online and joking with coach about something. If anything maybe it’s a lighthearted fun thing.” The NFL fined the New York Jets $100,000 in 2010 when cameras caught strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi tripping a Miami player on the sideline. Alosi was suspended by the Jets and eventually resigned after the season. Tomlin’s job is not in jeopardy and he said Tuesday he had not spoken to team owners Dan and Art Rooney II about the situation. �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel LEGALS PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE: is hereby given that on Saturday December 7, 2013 at 10:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

RHYMES WITH ORANGE 8 2 7 �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, December 5, 2013 Civitas Media PRO FOOTBALL REVIEW NFL: Refs blew it in Redskin game Sunday night NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL says Sunday night’s officiating crew should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the Giants’ 24-17 victory at Washington. With New York leading by 7 points just after the twominute warning, a catch by the Redskins’ Pierre Garcon on second-and-5 was spotted short of a first down at the Washington 45. Referee Jeff Triplette signaled third down. But the head linesman, with the Redskins in a hurry-up offense, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down. “In this situation where there is obvious confusion as to the status of the down, that play should have been stopped prior to third down and the correct down communicated to both clubs,” league officiating director Dean Blandino said Monday in a statement. “This should have occurred regardless of the fact that Washington had no timeouts and it was inside two minutes.” Only the referee can rule and signal a first down. The official nearest to the down markers and chain crew, the head linesman, is required to wait for that first-down signal from the referee before mov- Mark Gail | MCT Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan was not happy when referees on Sunday night told him his team had a first down, then changed their mind after he had run the next play, leaving them facing an unexpected fourth down. ing the chains. That did not happen at FedEx Field. After Washington’s incomplete pass on the next play — which many Redskins believed was first down — the chains were moved back and the down boxes correctly reset to fourth down. Blandino said instant replay review was not used on Garcon’s catch “because the replay official determined that the ball … was correctly spotted short of the line to gain for a first down.” Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said the confusion affected the play calling. “The chain said first down, and then when we came back, we think it’s second-and-10, and they’re yelling out it’s fourth down,” Griffin said. “No explanation. No measurement. Didn’t stop the clock to allow the chains to move back. And we just had to go ahead and call the play.” Griffin did complete a 6-yard pass to Garcon on fourth-and-1, but safety Will Hill stripped the ball. The Giants then ran out the clock. “I told him I wanted a measurement, because I knew it was close,” coach Mike Shanahan said, not specifying which official he was referring to. “It was inches. And he said, ‘No, it’s a first down.’ And he moved the chains. And then after I saw it was fourth down, I asked him, ‘You already told me it was first down.’ He didn’t say anything. So that was quite disappointing.” Speaking to a pool reporter Sunday night, Triplette said: “We signaled third down on the field. The stakes were moved incorrectly. After that play, we said it was still third down. We had signaled third down prior to the play starting. The stakes just got moved incorrectly.” Triplette defended not stopping play, saying it “would have given an unfair advantage.” But Blandino said Monday that was the wrong decision. Chiefs try to regroup, 49ers back on track KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Everything has changed in the last three weeks for the Kansas City Chiefs. In the nine weeks prior their bye week, the Chiefs had rolled to a 9-0 record, an unimaginable turnaround from a 2-14 finish a year ago. The defense was holding opponents to just 13.3 points per game, and the offense was playing nearly mistake-free football. After a pair of losses to the Broncos sandwiched around a heartbreaking defeat to the Chargers, the Chiefs not only have watched the AFC West lead slip away, they’ve also become the first team in NFL to win its first nine games and then lose three in a row. It is gut-check time for the Chiefs, who play at Washington this Sunday. *** SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Donte Whitner realizes how different the San Francisco 49ers are now from the team that got whipped at Seattle in Week 2. He’s still plenty bothered by that 29-3 loss to the rival Seahawks, and ready to play them again this Sunday at Candlestick Park and boost San Francisco’s fortunes. The reigning NFC champion Niners (8-4) need every win at this stage — and a victory against first-place Seattle could put them right back in the division title picture, too. San Francisco has won consecutive games in commanding fashion following a twogame skid, and the offense is on a roll at the perfect time: With the December stretch run ahead, a time coach Jim Harbaugh insists is built only for the tough. Whitner says the defense must keep making stands. *** PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Le’Veon Bell says he’s “lucky” to have only sustained a concussion following a big hit at the goal line late in last Thursday’s 22-20 loss to Baltimore. Bell was attempting to bring the Steelers within a 2-point conversion when he was slammed into by Ravens defensive back Jimmy Smith. Bell lost his helmet and says he was “out of it” following the game. Bell was limited to running on Monday and isn’t sure if he’ll be available on Sunday when the Steelers (5-7) face the Dolphins (6-6). The second-round draft pick leads Pittsburgh with 528 yards rushing and five touchdowns. He is also fifth on the team with 33 receptions. *** DEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Another week has brought another quarterback quandary for the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Cassel played well enough in relief of Christian Ponder to take over the job. Ponder left Sunday’s win over Chicago with a concussion. Coach Leslie Frazier declined Monday to declare Cassel the new starter. Frazier said there’s no rush to decide. The Vikings play at Baltimore this week. Frazier also didn’t directly answer a question about whether Josh Freeman will be considered for the job against the Ravens. He was inactive Sunday against the Bears. Ponder took a hit to the head in the second quarter and did not return. Frazier said Ponder’s injury is a “concern.” *** ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos coach John Fox has returned to work, less than a month after undergoing open-heart surgery to have his aortic valve fixed. Fox missed the toughest stretch of the season before coming back Monday morn- ing. During his absence, defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio guided the Denver Broncos (10-2) into first place in the AFC West by winning three of four games. They won at San Diego and swept Kansas City, and in Del Rio’s words, came “within an eyelash” of going 4-0. They lost 34-31 at New England two weeks ago. Executive vice president John Elway presented Del Rio with a game ball after Denver’s 35-28 win at Kansas City on Sunday. Fox has no restrictions, but it’s likely that he’ll coach from the booth and not the sideline this Sunday against Tennessee. *** HOUSTON (AP) — Houston defensive end Antonio Smith questioned how New England knew what the Texans were going to do on defense after a 34-31 win by the Patriots on Sunday. Smith told reporters after the game Houston had some new wrinkles in its defense this week and it was “miraculous” how the Patriots changed their offense to key on the defense. “Either teams are spying on us or scouting us,” he said. “I don’t know what it is.” fever It’s Always On At B-Dubs! 214 Upper River Rd.
