A bid from Neptune Equipment Co., Cincinnati, in the amount of $22,334 was awarded for the purchase of new water meters for Racine. The per-meter cost is $199.50.

At yesterday’s regular meeting of Meigs County Commissioners, Adam Leachman, local manager, said the operation is working three shifts, two of them production shifts, every day, five and a half days a week. Leachman said more of those coal mine workers are coming from Meigs County because more local workers are seeking miner training and certification. Leachman, Cathy Bihlman and Ellen Greer presented information relating to the coal company’s application with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for water quality certification relating to its plans to build surface facilities.

They decorated hats and then modeled them, played games, worked on their various badges and other projects during the event planned by the Eastern Cadette Troop. The girls were served tea, cupcakes and lemonade before going to the Museum to view the exhibits. Here some of the girls show off their creativity in decorating hats, while others with their parents look over the extensive display relating to various events, accomplishments and activities of both boy and girl scout troops in the county. The emphasis of scouting is to encourage boys and girls to be active doers rather than passive observers. The display at the Museum which will remain in place for several weeks is evidence that scouts in Meigs County are indeed active doers. COLUMBUS — Evoking terms such as “Jim Crow laws” and “disenfranchised voters,” the debate over House Bill 159 was contentious before it passed 57-38 in the house, making its way to the Ohio Senate. HB 159 requires Ohioans to show government photo identification to cast a ballot — currently, voters can present poll workers with current bank statements or utility bills as well as a paycheck or other official, government documents with the voters name and address. HB 159 was largely supported by House Republicans and panned by House Democrats. Republicans feel the bill will reduce voter fraud while Democrats feel evidence of voter fraud is weak at best and the bill makes casting a ballot less accessible to eligible voters. Meigs County is represented in the Ohio House See Voter-ID, A2 Columbus judge appointed to Common Pleas cases Crow requests appointment through April for medical reasons BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A second judge has been appointed to preside in Meigs County Common Pleas Court in the absence of Judge Fred W. Crow III. Crow requested the appointment of a visiting judge from the Ohio Supreme Court in February, citing illness and ongoing medical treatments. Crow asked for the appointment for the months of February, March and April, in a letter dated Feb. 4. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor appointed Judge Dale Anthony Crawford, a retired Common Pleas Court Judge from Franklin County, to preside in the general and domestic relations divisions of the local court from Feb. 4, the date of Crow’s request, through April 30. The certificate of assignment was filed with Clerk of Courts Diane Lynch last week. Earlier this month, James Wallace Luce, a retired judge from Fairfield County, was appointed to preside in the court for the same time period. Luce has presided over a number of cases since his appointment, including the sentencing of one of the four co-defendants in the Hemlock Grove church arson investigation. Visiting judges are typically retired and travel to courts throughout the state, hearing cases as assigned due to conflicts of interest or judges’ absence, according to Bret Crow of the Ohio Supreme Court. They are typically assigned only after the local court sends a request. While the two assigned visiting judges and other judges from the area hear cases pending in the local court, Crow continues to work from the county courthouse, signing orders and entries in pending cases. On Wednesday, Public Defender David Baer filed another appeal — his eleventh this week — of a sentence of community control and jail time imposed against one of his indigent clients. Baer said earlier this week he has filed the appeals to address sentencing language he alleges Crow added to entries after he and prosecutors signed them. He said the county jail time imposed in each of those cases was not part of negotiated plea agreements reached in the cases, although he acknowledged Crow has judicial authority and is not bound by any plea agreements between state and defense. Meigs Local Schools appropriations increase exceeds $29M High: 39 Low: 27 INDEX 2 SECTIONS — 12 PAGES Classifieds B3-4 Comics B5 Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A revised permanent appropriations for fiscal year 2010-2011 in the amount of $29,039,428 for operation of Meigs Local schools has been adopted by the Meigs Local Board of Education. Treasurer/CFO Mark Rhonemus presented his report on the revised appropriations and made his recommendation to the Board at this week’s meeting held at the Meigs Elementary School. The figure adopted, he noted, is the highest since the construction of the new buildings in the early 2000s. What puts the revised permanent appropriations figure higher this year, he explained, is the Race to the Top money of $132,239 to be used by teachers in developing new instruction techniques geared to improving student performance. That figure is the first year portion of the total grant of $533.057 from the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act program. Rhonemus said the total revised permanent appropriations figure for this school year includes everything involved in operating the schools with the exception of student activity funds. Personnel: Several personnel actions, including the reemployment of a principal and an assistant principal, were approved by the Board at the meeting. It was voted to reemploy Vickie Jones as middle school principal on a four-year contract, and William Francis as assistant high school principal on a three year contract. Both contracts will become effect on the expiration dates at the current contracts and renewed at a salary established by the administration salary schedule. Also re-employed was Derrick Bolin as network technician on a three year contract. Mindy Chancey and Jennifer Dunn were added to the substitute teacher list, as was Bruce Martin, retroactive to Feb. 28 when he took over the high school chemistry class. The resignation for retirement purposes of John Gomez, custodian, was accepted. Principals at the Meigs Elementary School gave brief reports on educational activities to the Board members, Ryan Mahr, Ron Logan, Roger Abbott, Larry Tucker and Barbara Musser. �Mining From Page A1 Commissioners also awarded a contract to Babcock Fence Co., Lowell, for fencing at the Racine ball fields. Commissioners had tabled action on that bid until its review by village council. Grants Administrator Jean Trussell said the first public hearing on the next round of CDBG formula funds will be held at 6 p.m. on April 18 in the courtroom. She said township and village officials are encouraged to attend the meeting to learn about funding availability and qualification. Trussell said she had received word from the Ohio Department of Development that counties should anticipate the same level of funding this year as last — $127,000 for Meigs County projects. EMS/911 Director Doug Lavender told commissioners the retired Rutland emergency squad, unit 44, will be given to the township for use by the fire department there, and replaced by a newer squad. Commissioners also: • Tabled action on bills pending submission of the general fund audit list by the County Auditor. • Approved an appropriation adjustment of $52,410 for the county engineer. • Met with representatives of Horizon Technology, Chillicothe, relating to broadband service and telephone service for the county courthouse and other county departments. • Approved the appointment of Attorney Michael Barr to the County Court Community Corrections Board, as recommended by Judge Steven L. Story. Attending were President Michael Bartrum, Commissioners Tom Anderson and Tim Ihle, and Clerk Gloria Kloes. Voter-ID From Page A1 of Representatives by Debbie Phillips, D-Athens. Phillips voted against HB 159 and released the following statement: “HB 159, requiring a photo ID to vote, is unnecessary, and could disenfranchise seniors, young adults, and people with disabilities. I am outraged that this bill was passed with so little review and with no input from Ohio's Secretary of State. This creates a de facto poll tax in Ohio, it will be costly, and it is absolutely not needed--no one presented any credible evidence of fraud under Ohio's existing ID laws.” The bill made its way through the house in eight days. Thursday’s The Columbus Dispatch reported Democrats estimate 890,000 voting-age Ohioans are without government-issued identification, including “significant” numbers of blacks and people over 65. If the bill is passed into law, voters will have to present one of the following: A valid Ohio driver’s license or Ohio commercial driver’s license issued by the registrar of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar under Chapter 4507 of the Revised Code that shows the current or former address of the elector, regardless of whether that address conforms to the address in the individual’s voter registration record; a valid state identification card issued by the registrar of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar under section 4507.50 of the Revised Code that shows the current or former address of the elector, regardless of whether that address conforms to the address in the individual’s voter registration record; a valid United States military identification card; or a valid United States passport. The bill also states the BMV must make identification cards free for those who can’t afford to purchase one. No word yet on when the bill will come to a vote in the Senate. As of last year’s general election in November, Meigs County had 16,042 registered voters and a voter turnout of 44.94 percent. Investigator: Defects at nuclear plants unreported www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 U.S. likely to keep Meigs County Forecast combat role after Libya shift WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. warplanes will keep flying strike missions over Libya even after the U.S. relinquishes the lead command role to NATO as early as this weekend in the fight against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces, the Pentagon indicated Thursday. As an anxious Obama administration pressed for a quick handoff, NATO’s governing North Atlantic Council was meeting in Brussels to try to finalize a deal for the alliance to take the lead. It has been meeting for nearly a week, but a series of disagreements, including questions of overall political control and how aggressive the mission should be, have so far blocked agreement. At the Pentagon, Navy Vice Adm. William Gortney, staff director for the military Joint Chiefs, told reporters that the American role will mainly be in support missions such as refueling allied planes and providing aerial surveillance of Libya. But the U.S. will still fly combat missions as needed, Gortney said. “And I would anticipate that we would continue to provide some of the interdiction strike packages as well, should that be needed by the coalition,” he added, referring to combat missions such as attacks on Libyan mobile air defenses, ammunition depots, air fields and other assets that support Libyan ground forces. White House press secretary Jay Carney was more circumspect, calling the next phase of U.S. involvement a “support and assist role,” using U.S. intelligence resources and military capabilities including electronic jamming to throw off missiles or rockets. He did not mention any combat airstrikes. In a new development Thursday, one of the Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from ships in the Mediterranean struck a surface-to-air missile site near the city of Sabha, far inland at the southern tip of the allies’ designated no-fly zone, Gortney said. The missiles had previously struck mostly along the coastline. Another cruise missile hit a Scud missile site near Tripoli on Thursday, he said. Criticized by some for committing U.S. forces to a foreign conflict without explicit endorsement by Congress, the Obama administration pressed for the allies who first pushed for the campaign to come up with a workable alternative. Gortney said such a handoff of command could come this weekend. In Ankara, Turkey, state-run TV quoted Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as saying NATO would indeed take command, but alliance officials in Brussels said last-minute details had yet to be worked out. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton held a conference call with British Foreign Secretary William Hague, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and Davutoglu on coordinating the process. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama spoke by phone with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, expressing his appreciation to the leader who has been criticized in Russia for not using the country’s veto in the United Nations Security Council to block the action in Libya. Obama also convened top-level national security advisers Thursday to consider the direction of events in Libya and the future U.S. role. With the costs of the campaign growing by the day and members of Congress raising complaints over the goals in Libya, the administration wants its allies to take the lead soon. “We are still operating under that timeline, that it will be days, not weeks,” Carney said. American and allied planes and ships pummeled Libyan air defenses and other military targets Thursday as the international alliance confronting Gadhafi moved toward shifting its command lead from Washington to NATO. Uncertainty also hung over the domestic politics of U.S. handling of an air campaign that is being executed by a coalition of countries, including Canada and several European allies, under a U.N. resolution. Carney disputed complaints from Congress about inadequate consultation prior to the start of the military campaign, and he discounted the need for a specific response from the White House to a letter Wednesday from House Speaker John Boehner asking for details on the goals, costs and scope of the operation. Carney said that if the president had waited for Congress to return from its recess before moving on Libya, “Gadhafi’s forces would control Benghazi and there would have been a great deal of people killed in the process.” The U.S. assumed command of the operation, which began on Saturday, largely because it alone possesses the military wherewithal to coordinate the complex array of movements, targeting and intelligence collection that was required to enable the establishment of a protective no-fly zone over Libya. Now that Gadhafi’s air force has been grounded and his air defenses largely silenced, the mission could be pursued under a different command such as NATO. WASHINGTON (AP) — Companies that operate U.S. nuclear power plants are not telling the government about some equipment defects that could create safety risks, according to a report released Thursday. An audit by the inspector general of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission also raised questions about the agency’s oversight, saying reporting guidelines for the nuclear industry are “contradictory and unclear.” Reflecting that confusion, the report said the NRC has not levied any civil penalties or significant enforcement actions against nuclear plant operators for lapses in reporting equipment defects in at least eight years. The study comes as questions are raised about the safety of U.S. nuclear facilities in the wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan. The NRC voted Wednesday to conduct two safety reviews of the 104 nuclear reactors operating in the U.S. Unless the NRC takes steps to improve its reporting guidelines, “the margin of safety for operating reactors could be reduced,” the IG report said. NRC inspectors found at least 24 instances where possible equipment defects were identified but not reported to the agency from December 2009 through September 2010, according to the study. Eliot Brenner, a spokesman for the agency, said utilities and NRC inspectors both have procedures to identify and report manufacturing defects. The IG report mostly addresses how these defects are reported to the government, he said. “The NRC has a variety of other regulations that effectively encompass reporting all defects, and the NRC continues to conclude plants are operating safely,” Brenner said. The agency will look at the report to see if its reporting systems can be strengthened, he added. In its 18-page report, the inspector general said the NRC’s baseline inspection program does not require ��� ����� � �� � ��� inspectors to review an operator’s reporting on equipment defects.

B R OT H E R S Fiancee demands grow as wedding approaches Dear Dr. Brothers: I know my fiancee doesn’t watch a certain TV show about awful brides, but I could swear she’s been picking up some pointers there! As our wedding gets closer and closer, my lovely bride-to-be has gotten more and more unreasonable and demanding about everything, from the flowers to the honeymoon. We are middleaged and will be financing everything ourselves, and we really can’t afford a lot of what she wants. How do I handle her for three more months? — C.H. Dear C.H.: The wedding industry, the media and peer pressure all gang up on poor, unsuspecting bridegrooms when all they want is a meaningful, simple wedding. Today it pretty much ain’t gonna happen. If you aren’t all tied up with wedding planners, gift registries, fabulous venues, dresses, flowers and silverware, you really aren’t playing the game the way everyone seems to want it to go. There is a lot of pressure on a modern bride to think she deserves all the bells and whistles she sees on her favorite TV shows or in her best friend’s video. When you are footing the bill yourselves, you have an excellent opportunity to be realistic, because you know just what impact the wedding costs will have on the rest of your life. Part of the new life you will have together is the goal-setting and financial responsibility you will be taking on for the first time as a couple. So as difficult as it is, you need to try to get your bride-to-be to sit down with you and put the wedding in perspective as part of a longerterm plan to live happily ever after. She wants to feel like a princess right now, and there’s no reason to rain on her parade if what she is seeking is your love and support. But you need support as well, and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for it. You have a long road ahead, so see if you can walk softly. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: I have always been a good person, but now I really feel rotten. My boyfriend of three years was the love of my life, until he ʻRelayʼ in need of teams The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 High water...again BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM Dr. Joyce Brothers was injured in a car accident five months ago. Now I find myself wanting to date other men because he is disabled. He might get his walking skills back, but I am feeling so guilty because I just want to move on instead of be there for him. Everything has been so depressing. I don’t want to hate myself, but I want to have a life. — J.B. Dear J.B.: Don’t beat yourself up so much for having a bad reaction to an event that has wreaked havoc on your plans and dreams for the future. You are not the one to suffer the way your boyfriend has and will continue to do, but in a way, yours is the more difficult position. While his options are limited — live with what has happened and try to improve his condition — yours are wide open. You can spend the rest of your life as his partner in every sense of the word, or you can walk away tomorrow and never look back. Or, you can choose something in between. Even though your feelings have changed, there’s no telling what will happen in the future as your boyfriend gets back on his feet — literally. You may be able to work through your misgivings and find a deeper connection than ever. Right now, you are missing the old fun and excitement of dating and being together without a care, and that’s what you are longing for when you want to date others. Perhaps you could extend your social circle so that you would have more time to do the things you like, while still reserving your love for your boyfriend. Give yourself some time before you make a decision. You have to do what is right for you. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate POMEROY — Meigs County’s annual Relay for Life typically attracts around 15 teams to raise money for cancer research — as of today, only eight teams have signed on with the clock ticking down. This year’s RFL is set for noon-6 a.m., June 1112 at the Rock Springs Fair Grounds. The annual event is one of the largest fundraisers in the county and represents a hope those lost to cancer will not be forgotten, those battling cancer will be supported and one day cancer will be eliminated. Sherry Kinnan is the chairperson for this year’s Meigs RFL. Though this is Kinnan’s first year as chairperson, she’s been participating in Relay for three years - the first year on her mother, the late Martha Fox’s team, and for the past two years on the R o c k s p r i n g s Rehabilitation Center team. Kinnan has two very important reasons for being involved in Relay — both her parents passed away from cancer. Kinnan is hoping more teams form for this year’s Relay and a team captain’s meeting is set for 5:30 p.m., April 19 at the Pomeroy Library. Teams and individuals can sign up anytime online at www.relayforlife.org/me igsOH or by contacting Kinnan at 444-5345 or emailing her at rakbeck2001@yahoo.com — be sure to put “Relay” in the subject line. Kinnan said there is also a desperate need for Meigs RFL Committee Members and volunteers. Last year’s RFL grossed just over $40,000 to benefit the free programs and research done by the American Cancer Society. The 2010 Meigs RFL top five teams and their totals were: Holzer Clinic (Dedicated to a Cure), $5,069; Keith’s Get-r-Done Team, $3,410; Farmers Bank Pomeroy Branch (Moolah Makers), $3,344; Meigs County Health Department/TB Clinic, $2,811.

Rio’s Smith & Davis earn NAIA honors BY MARK WILLIAMS SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL JACKSON, Tenn. — Two members of the University of Rio Grande RedStorm women’s basketball team have earned NAIA honors for the 201011 season. Senior guard Jenna Smith earned NAIA Honorable Mention AllAmerican honors on the court and was named as an NAIA Scholar-Athlete for her work in the classroom. Senior point guard Bre Davis was also awarded an NAIA Scholar-Athlete designation. Smith, a 5-8 shooting guard from Bellefontaine, Ohio, had a banner season for the RedStorm. She led the team in scoring at 18.2 points per game and ended up second in the NAIA with 110 made three-point- Davis Smith ers. She was ranked in the top five nationally in three other offensive categories (made 3’s per game, threepoint percentage and freethrow percentage). Smith also eclipsed the 1,000-career point mark this season and will leave Rio Grande as the No. 8 scorer all-time with 1,544 points. Smith had previously been named to the All- MSC team and was an MSC Academic all-conference award winner as well. “Jenna without a doubt has been one of the purest shooters that we’ve had in this program over the years,” said Rio Grande head coach David Smalley. “Her basketball I.Q. is extremely high, she is very versatile, can play the offguard and the point guard position. She basically put us on her shoulders this year and led us to our success.” “To break into this into this category in the NAIA, especially in Division I women’s basketball, you have to do a lot of things extremely well,” Smalley added. “We’re very proud of Jenna for receiving and earning this award.

The Please see Rio, B2 Fourth-seeded Kentucky ready for No. 1 Buckeyes NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Kentucky prides itself on its history, and rightfully so. The Wildcats have done just about everything there is to do in college basketball. Whether you’re talking about their 51 NCAA tournament appearances, 13 Final Fours or seven national championships, few programs rival the bluebloods from the Bluegrass State. One thing they’ve never done, though, is beat Ohio State when it counts. “No one told me that,” freshman guard Brandon Knight said, upon learning his Wildcats will be trying to end a 0-for-5 NCAA tournament drought against the topseeded Buckeyes in the East Regional semifinals Friday night. “You’re the first person to tell me that,” Knight said. “I mean, there’s a lot of things that haven’t been done, but some crazy things happen in the tournament. I know Ohio State has a lot of great players, but that stat doesn’t really mean that much to me.” That’s because the Wildcats revel in their past, they just don’t live Please see UK, B2 SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM BECKLEY, W.Va. — Point Pleasant sophom o r e Andrea Porter was the lone L a d y Knight selected to the 201011 Class AA allstate girls Porter basketball team released Wednesday by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.

This guy’s got a broken foot and this is the energy he gives us.” Lighty is probably not the first person you’d notice on Ohio State’s powerhouse basketball team.

He gets to renew old acquaintances again on Saturday when his Buckeyes meet the Lady Vols and coach Pat Summitt in a regional semifinal game in Dayton, Ohio. It doesn’t sound as if he’s missed bumping heads with his old nemesis. Asked this week what his relationship with Tennessee and its legendary coach was during his tenure at Vandy, he hesitated a full 12 seconds before finally saying, “No love lost.” When a reporter wondered aloud if he had any of Tennessee’s bright orange clothing in his closet, Foster joked, “I don’t even eat orange M&Ms. They don’t taste as good as the other ones.” It’s clear that Foster didn’t enjoy being in the shadow of the ubiquitous Lady Vols, who have played to packed houses and captured the nation’s attention while also capturing eight national championships. Three of them — in 1996, 1997 and 1998 — came while Foster was building a solid but often overlooked program in the same state. Foster, who is 740-286 for a .721 winning percentage in 33 seasons at Saint Joseph’s, Vandy and Ohio State, refused to heap praise on the Lady Vols, although he did concede that Summitt had changed the landscape of the sport. “She’s done a great job of getting great players,” he said. “Tennessee was sort of first to get serious about women’s basketball in terms of their commitment and what they did. People have had to play catchup to that commitment.” Perhaps his Buckeyes (24-9) follow the lead of their coach in not being awed or intimidated by Tennessee. Jantel Lavender, Ohio State’s star center and a four-time Big Ten player of the year, was recruited by the Lady Vols. She visited the campus but said she didn’t get the feeling of togetherness that she felt when she met the Buckeyes. So the Cleveland native stayed in her home state. “Tennessee is a good team, but I think it’s more Pat Summitt,” she said. “That’s the name that everybody kind of gets a little iffy about. I mean, she’s had a great legacy there. Those players haven’t been there 16 years or 18 years or all the years she’s been there. They definitely have great players, but I don’t think it’s any different than playing any other good team we’ve played against.” The Lady Vols (33-2) are the No. 1 seed in the regional, with Ohio State No. 4. The winner of their showdown advances to a Monday game at the University of Dayton Arena against either second-seeded Notre Dame (28-7) or sixth-seeded Oklahoma (23-11), with a berth in the Final Four in Indianapolis resting on the outcome. Foster looks at the regional as wide open. “Only 16 teams are left playing, and they’re all very good,” he said. “Whatever opinion people have of who you’re playing, when I look at this regional there’s four pretty good offensive basketball teams and defense is probably going to determine who wins this regional.” None of Foster’s eight previous Ohio State teams have gone beyond the regional semifinals. Like everyone else, he sees top-ranked and twotime defending champion Connecticut as the clear front-runner overall in the tournament. UConn is playing in the Philadelphia regional. Foster listed the Lady Vols along with everyone else behind the Huskies. “The Connecticut team as constructed right now has won a couple of national championships in a row and is the team to beat — and Tennessee is in the crowd with us,” he said. “They’re one of the other teams.” Feds anti-doping expert recounts unmasking steroid SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One of the world’s foremost experts in detecting performance-enhancing drug use among athletes recounted on Thursday for the Barry Bonds jury how authorities unmasked the designer steroid dubbed the “clear.” Bonds has admitted using the steroid, but said his personal trainer misled him into believing it was flaxseed oil. Larry Bowers, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s chief scientist, told the jury Thursday that his agency anonymously received a syringe with trace amounts of liquid in the summer of 2003. Scientists using highly technical chemicaldetection equipment came up with a recipe for the liquid. Using the recipe, the agency had a batch ginned up and injected into baboons on their way to developing a urine test for the steroid, also called “THG,” that was put in place by late 2003. A chemist named Patrick Arnold developed the steroid to evade detection and it was distributed to elite athletes by the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative and Bonds’ personal trainer Greg Anderson. “THG was pretty clever, cleverly designed,” Bowers testified. Bowers also testified about the side effects of steroids, such an acne breakout and “bloating.” The government plans to use that testimony to support the expected testimony of Kimberly Bell, Bonds’ former mistress. Bell plans to testify that she witnessed physical and mental changes in Bonds that prosecutors allege were side effects of steroid use. With an eye on the forthcoming testimony by Bell, federal prosecutor Jeff Nedrow asked Bowers what effect steroid abuse could have on testicles. “They would shrink,” Bowers said. In court papers filed before the trial started, prosecutors said Bell is planning to tell the jury that Bonds’ testicles shrank during their nineyear relationship. Bowers also testified that scientific studies have suggested an excess of human growth hormone could cause an adult’s head, hands and feet to grow. Prosecutors allege that Bonds knowingly used human growth hormone and witnesses will testify that his head, hands and feet grew during his time with the San Francisco Giants. Out of the presence of the jury, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston denied Bonds attorney Allen Ruby’s motion to exclude such evidence. Ruby argued unsuccessfully that Bowers failed to offer enough scientific evidence that growth hormone could enlarge a user’s head, hands and feet. Bowers’ testimony Thursday followed the appearance on the witness stand of Bonds’ estranged childhood friend Steve Hoskins. Hoskins has testified that he strongly suspected Bonds was using steroids between 1999 and 2003. Hoskins on Thursday testified that Bonds’ surgeon, Dr. Arthur Ting, told him that a Bonds elbow injury was caused by steroid use. Hoskins testified that around 1999 and 2000 he told Ting that Bonds was using steroids. Ting advised him to tell Bonds to stop using them, Hoskins testified. Hoskins and Bonds grew up together in a San Francisco suburb. Hoskins worked for Bonds from 1993 until late March 2003 when Bonds had Hoskins sign a document effectively ending what was a lucrative business arrangement for Hoskins. Hoskins on Wednesday denied accusations that he planned to extort Bonds in the aftermath of that split by secretly recording conversations about steroids with the slugger’s personal trainer and doctor. Hoskins said he made the recordings to convince Bonds’ father, Bobby Bonds, that his son was juicing. But he conceded Wednesday that he was incorrect in insisting his secretly recorded conversation with trainer Anderson occurred in late March 2003. Under cross examination from Ruby, Hoskins conceded the recording was made later. Ruby suggested that was an important inconsistency because that means the recording was made after Bonds had Hoskins sign the document on March 27, 2003, ending their business arrangement. Nonetheless, Hoskins denied he had any malicious intentions and said he harbored no ill will toward Bonds at the time of the recording or now. Bonds, baseball’s alltime home runs leader, is being tried in federal court on four counts of lying to a grand jury and one of obstruction for telling a grand jury in 2003 that he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs. UK tournament, your opponent gets tougher,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “It is definitely the case here.” The Wildcats have one of the youngest teams in the country, but it’s also one of the most talented, with a point guard in Knight who is finally learning to execute Calipari’s unique dribble-drive offense. His only basket in the first round against Princeton was the game-winner, but he followed that up with a career-high 30 points against West Virginia. He gets plenty of help from fellow freshmen Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones, too. Lamb, one of the nation’s best perimeter shooters, set the Kentucky single-game freshman scoring record with 32 points against Winthrop. Jones bettered that with 35 against Auburn. “They’re a great team,” Ohio State’s David Lighty said. “I mean, they’re athletic, they get out and run, they push the pace. They have bigs, they have wings, and they have a guard who can pretty much do it all. If we don’t come ready to play, it’s going to be a long night for us.” It could just as easily be a long night for the Wildcats. Although they have youthful exuberance on their side, the veteran Buckeyes counter with sagely wisdom. If they choose to run up and down the floor, Ohio State will slow down into a half-court offense and dump the ball inside to 6foot-9 freshman Jared Sullinger, who is good for a double-double just about every time he steps on the floor. Lighty is all that’s left from the so-called “Thad Five” — the recruiting class of Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Daequan Cook and Othello Hunter that is long gone. But his experience, along with that of fellow seniors Jon Diebler and Dallas Lauderdale, is a big reason why Ohio State has been so successful this season. And a big reason Ohio State is favored to win it all. “At this point, it’s just two teams going at each other,” Calipari said. “None of that matters in this stuff, and that’s why an inexperienced team like mine, it’s hard to predict how they’re going to come out and do with the lights like they are.” Lights that couldn’t be much brighter. Calipari has come to understand that there is a certain mystique surrounding Kentucky, the kind built slowly over time, established by coaches such as Adolph Rupp and Joe B. Hall. It comes with winning marquee games, against teams such as Ohio State. Something that’s never happened before in the NCAA tournament. “It’s different, different than any other program,” Calipari said. “I know there are programs that are connected to their state, but none like this. They breathe with every shot — inhale, exhale, you make it, exhale, you miss it. It’s just how they are. “I’m humbled to be able to coach there and have this opportunity to be a part of it.” from Page B1 in it. Not a single player on their roster was even alive the last time these two teams met in the tournament, when Eddie Sutton’s bunch lost in the first round in 1987. Even current coach John Calipari was just a youngster the time before that, when Dave Sorenson’s jumper in the final seconds lifted the Buckeyes to an 82-81 victory and into the 1968 Final Four. The Wildcats also lost to Ohio State in 1945, and again in 1961 and ‘62. In fact, the only program to beat them more times in the NCAA tournament is Marquette, which coincidentally plays North Carolina in the other regional semifinal at the Prudential Center. Talk about a rough path to the Final Four in Houston. “As we told our guys, every round you in advance in the NCAA Friday, March 25, 2011 Rio from Page B1 RedStorm advanced to the semifinals of the MSC Tournament. Both Smith and Davis were among 127 women’s basketball players to be named NAIA ScholarAthletes. In order to be nominated by an institution's head coach, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved a junior academic status to qualify for this honor. “As the basketball coach for the University of Rio Grande for 19 years, I can honestly say that this is one of the most celebrated and one of the most cognitive groups of seniors that I have ever had,” said Smalley. “This epitomizes the production and the accomplishments that these two young ladies have garnered throughout their four-year career.” “They’re being celebrated and honored now as seniors, which is very fitting,” Smalley added. “Every year they have always done what they needed to do in the classroom, which is be a student first and they’re very conscientious about that and have been from day one.” Davis is majoring in Lighty from Page B1 the game. Nothing against Sullinger, he’s tremendous. The other guys are great. But Lighty, to me, is their heart and soul and he’s the reason they win.” There are no bronze figures outside the team’s home arena. But Matta — who has coached two national players of the year (David West at Xavier, Evan Turner at Ohio State) — believes there should be some kind of a memorial to the tenacity of Lighty. “I think they should put a statue in front of the Schottenstein Center of David Lighty, just what he’s meant to this program, not only on the court,” Matta said after a win this season. “I’ve always said this, David Lighty, he’s been here for five years and I don’t think he’s ever gotten close to the credit he deserves for the player he is, just the kid he is. You don’t do the things that he’s done during his career here.” Others might have gaudy scoring averages or make the nightly highlights with a vicious slam dunk. David Lighty wins. Plain and simple. End of discussion. He enters top-seeded and top-ranked Ohio State’s NCAA regional semifinal game against Kentucky on Friday night in Newark, N.J., as the winningest Buckeye ever. He’s won a remarkable 129 games at Ohio State, and wants to win four more. “Like I always say, you stick around long enough you’re going to break some records,” he said. Then, laughing, he added, “I’ve been here eight years.” Not really. It just must seem that way to opponents. He came to Ohio State in one of the most acclaimed recruiting classes ever in 2006. Center Greg Oden, shooter Daequan Cook and point guard Mike Conley Jr. all moved on to the NBA after one glittering 35-4 season that ended with a loss in the national championship game. The other three freshmen were all first-round draft picks. Lighty stayed. The 6-foot-5 swingman was a cornerstone of the next team that went 2413 and won the NIT. Freshman Kosta Koufos starred on that team, and then went in the first round of the NBA draft after one season. A consummate lockdown defender against a guard or even a center, Sports & Exercise Studies with a minor in Business Management. “Bre has a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 and to me that takes focus, the ability to plan and organize and be able to juggle a ton of things that young collegeaged students have to go through today,” Smalley said. “This is really rewarding to me as an individual and to the program and the university.” “I’m very proud of Bre Davis for this award, it certainly puts her in a group where she belongs, which is with the elite,” Smalley added. “I personally think that Bre is one of the top point guards that we’ve ever had in this program. She is very deserving of this award and on behalf of the women’s basketball program we want to congratulate Bre Davis on this latest award.” Smith is majoring in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. “Her hard work on the court is a mirror-image of what she does in the classroom,” Smalley said. “She has a cumulative grade point average of over a 3.8. The classroom has been her drive, her focus, her goal to be as good as she possibly can in the classroom.” “We’re extremely proud of Jen and want to congratulate her for earning the NAIA Scholar-Athlete award for the 2010-11 season,” Smalley added. Lighty was an integral part of teams that went 22-11 in 2008-09 and 298 a year ago. This year, the Buckeyes are 34-2, ended the season ranked No. 1 and won their first two NCAA tournament games by a combined 61 points. Mixed in there were broken bones in his feet that cost him all but the first seven games of the ‘08-09 season and most of this past summer after he sustained the same injury in May, requiring surgery and another grind of rehab. Despite all the friends who have moved on to bigger and better things, he does not feel left behind. “No, not at all, because of the person that I am,” he said. “I know people’s dreams, people’s goals, and I’ve gotten to know those guys personally. So, I have no regrets of them leaving. No animosity towards them leaving. I never felt that I was left behind or anything. My time here has been great for me. I’ve grown as a person on and off the court. For me, it’s just what I needed to do, staying here.” In Ohio State’s 98-66 rout of George Mason in Sunday’s third round, Lighty was the marquee player — or one of them, anyway. He was a spotless 7 for 7 on 3-pointers and scored 25 points. It was a rare moment in the spotlight, in the Cleveland native’s hometown no less. Still, he is only the fourth-leading scorer at 12.1 points a game. And he doesn’t lead the Buckeyes in assists, rebounds, blocked shots or anything else. Oh, except for wins. “Your always are going to need Dave,” Buford said. “He brings a lot of energy to this team. He’s the most talkative guy on the floor. He’s the heart and soul to this team.” There’s that phrase again. Lighty is expected to be taken in the NBA draft, perhaps in the second round, later — by a round and maybe a few years — than some of his former teammates. But he’ll leave Ohio State as one of the most decorated — three Big Ten championships, four trips to the NCAA tournament and one NIT trophy — ever. The point is, he doesn’t feel as if he’s been lost in the shuffle. Even if he has. “Maybe sometimes, I guess you could say,” he said. “But I get my due when we get a win. When I’m out there and I’m doing something to help my team win, that’s just enough for me.” �Friday, March 25, 2011 Get A Jump on SAVINGS Lawn Service Best Lawn Care now accepting new lawns 740-645-1488 Call for free estimate Lawn Care Services. 740-388-9836 Free Estimates Pet Cremations.

Busch swept the Truck, Nationwide and Cup Series events at BMS in August 2010. NOTHING TO SEE HERE Goodyear avoided another PR nightmare at Bristol when it was able to ship in thousands of new right-side tires for the Cup and Nationwide Series cars. Tires began shredding after 30-lap runs in practice sessions on Friday, prompting NASCAR’s official tire supplier to bring in a new compound. Neither series had any abnormal wear issues in their respective events. THE TWO BIG ONES An eight-car wreck on lap 29 at Bristol eliminated many teams’ chance at a win before the race really got going. Denny Hamlin and Jeff Burton were among the cars damaged. A separate eight-car melee on lap 438 ended some teams’ day late in the going. Among those involved were Jamie McMurray, Mark Martin, Clint Bowyer and Juan Montoya. NOT-SO-TOUGH TICKET Attendance for the Jeff Byrd 500 at Bristol was as sparse as any race at the popular bullring in 15 years. Although NASCAR’s official attendance figure was 120,000, most in the media agreed the number was closer to 85,000 in a facility that holds 160,00. Prior to the 2010 spring race, Bristol had sold out 53 consecutive Cup races, dating back to August 1983. Sprint Cup Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Carl Edwards The train kept a rollin’ ... Edwards and crew churning out great runs, with five finishes of second or better in the last six races dating back to last season. 2. Kurt Busch Going about things in a totally different way — but equally as effective — is Busch, who leads the point standings with unspectacular, yet solid, top-10 showings. 3. Kyle Busch And then there’s younger brother Kyle, who once again stepped up at Bristol and did what he does best: Sweep the weekend’s Nationwide and Cup events. 4. Tony Stewart Smoke’s final results have been up and down, but Bristol was honestly the first race of the season that he wasn’t in contention at the end. 5. Jimmie Johnson Two third-place runs in the last three races prove Mr. Five Time and the boys are this close to hitting paydirt. And Auto Club Speedway is one of the 48 team’s best tracks. 6. Ryan Newman Sits third in the point standings, but has gone about his work quietly, notching runs of fifth, fifth and 10th in the last three races. 7. Paul Menard If you haven’t heard of the The Paul Menard Empire, you need to check it out on Facebook. The month of “Menarch” has been kind to him thus far. 8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. He’s been an eighth- through 11th-placer so far this season, which is certainly an improvement from the last two seasons. Will Junior Nation finally accept a crew chief not named Tony Eury? 9. Kevin Harvick The fact that he drove back from a late spin at Bristol to finish sixth tells us he probably had something for Busch, Edwards and Johnson. 10. Juan Pablo Montoya Third- and sixth-place finishes offset by 19th- and 24th-place runs this year. If he’s ever able to put it all together, look out. 11. Matt Kenseth Three consecutive runs of 12th or better and heading to Fontana, where he’s always tough. 12. Jeff Gordon Yeah, he has the Phoenix win, but the 24 team has been on a roller coaster otherwise. 13. Kasey Kahne Making the most of his brief association with Red Bull Racing. 14. Martin Truex Jr. Truex and crew chief Pat Tryson are quietly turning the 56 team around. 15. Mark Martin Steady as she goes for “the crazy old man” and his No. 5 group. Just off the lead pack: AJ Allmendinger, Marco Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Denny Hamlin, Bobby Labonte Carl Edwards ASP, Inc. Tracks on Tap A Rowdy Win SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: Auto Club 400 Track: Auto Club Speedway Location: Fontana, Calif. When: Sunday, March 27 TV: FOX (3:00 pm EST) Banking/Turns: 14 degrees Banking/Tri-Oval: 11 degrees Banking/Back Straightaway: 3 degrees 2010 Winner: Jimmie Johnson Crew Chief’s Take: “Getting the car to turn in California’s long, sweeping, flat turns after carrying a ton of speed down the straightaways is the real trick to winning. From a setup point of view, it’s hard to get a car dialed in there, and front end geometry equates to good finishes. Plus, it’s probably the hardest track on engines, hands down, and Michigan is the only track that’s even close. The difference is probably the California heat. Drivers like to run the high groove, but the stopwatches say the bottom is better, so you’ve got to persuade them to try that.” Kyle Busch victorious at Bristol ... again By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor Domination at the tough Bristol bullring in East Tennessee doesn’t come often, but when it does, it tends to run in streaks. Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch have gone on rolls of varying lengths over the last 35 years at the world’s fastest half-mile, and Kyle Busch is in the midst of his own. Busch scored his fourth Cup win in the last five visits to Bristol on Sunday, leading 153 laps and pulling away from pole-sitter Carl Edwards and defending race-winner Jimmie Johnson down the stretch in the Jeff Byrd 500. But Busch was the first to admit that it wasn’t all about the drivers’ brilliance, rather, fast pit work that gave his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota the lead late in the race. “Our guys on that last pit stop won this race coming out of the pits first,” Busch said of the stop with 71 laps remaining. “I don’t know if I could have gotten by Carl — Carl was good. Our car was definitely better on the longer run.” Johnson led to that point, with Busch content to run second. However, when the field hit pit road under caution, crew chief Dave Rogers made the call for two tires, allowing Busch to beat Edwards, Greg Biffle and Johnson onto the track for the restart. The young Las Vegas native never looked back from there, fending off multiple challenges from Edwards over three separate restarts before eventually sprinting away to a .946-second victory. When Edwards was asked what he could have done different, he referenced his dust-up with Busch three weeks ago in Phoenix, saying, “It’s NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Royal Purple 300 Track: Auto Club Speedway When: Saturday, March 26 TV: ESPN (5:30 pm EST) 2010 Winner: Kyle Busch ASP, Inc. Kyle Busch salutes the crowd at Bristol Motor Speedway after winning the Jeff Byrd 500. simple: I should have hit him harder (on the final restart). He’s still got one coming from Phoenix, but it was too far from the end to start racing like that. I really thought I could get by him clean, but then his car took off and mine was loose. I still got one (payback) in my pocket.” Johnson, who earned his first career Bristol win in this race last season, was forced to settle for third despite leading a race-high 164 laps. “Oddly enough, clean air is important here,” Johnson said. “It makes a big difference. I knew the 18 and I were relatively equal and whoever had clean air could get a little gap … and that was kind of it. It came down to that last pit stop; we didn’t get off pit road first and that’s really where the race was gone at that point.” Matt Kenseth and Paul Menard rounded out the top 5. For Menard, it was his best Bristol performance, and only his second career top-5 showing in the Cup Series with a car that was later revealed to be down a cylinder. “I had a fast racecar all weekend,” Menard, in his first year with a new fourth team at Richard Childress Racing, said. “What’s cool is we’ve been to four different race tracks and had strong runs at all four. It’s a testament to Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) and everybody at RCR. There’s a lot of talent there and Slugger has built a helluva race team and we’re having a lot of fun right now.” Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Biffle, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman comprised the rest of the top 10. Through four races in the 2011 season, Kurt Busch clings to a onepoint lead over Edwards in the point standings, followed by Tony Stewart, Newman and Menard. Throttle Up/Throttle Down PAUL MENARD One of the most pleasant early-season surprises of 2010, Menard is off to his best career start and he’s doing it with a new team in Richard Childress Racing. Menard is averaging a 10.8place finish thus far. JOEY LOGANO Many drivers (Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart) break out in their third season on the Cup circuit, but year No. 3 has been a difficult one through four race for Logano. The 21-year old Joe Gibbs Racing pilot is mired at 29th in the point standings thanks to three 23rd-place finishes. � Kyle Busch’s Bristol win was a nice “thank you” gesture to Mar’s/M&M’s, which inked a multiyear contract extension as primary sponsor for Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 Toyota on March 17. Mar’s, Inc. partnered with JGR in 2008, when the team signed Busch to drive after three full seasons in the Cup Series with Hendrick Motorsports. � The Richard Childress Racing No. 29 Chevy, driven by Kevin Harvick, has signed additional sponsorship, as well. Rheem will serve as primary sponsor for three Cup events this season, at Infineon Raceway on June 26, Atlanta Motor Speedway on September 4 and Texas Motor Speedway on November 6. Budweiser signed with RCR prior to the season to serve as sponsor on the No. 29 for 20 races, while Jimmy John’s adorns the hood for six. The team still has seven races that are unsold. � Car counts have been down in the Sprint Cup Series this season, and Friday’s qualifying for the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, Calif., will be the lowest yet. 43 cars are set to take to the track to fill the field of 43. Typically, more teams show up than can actually make Visit us online at mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news the race. Of the four races thus far in 2011, three have seen 44 cars attempt to make the field. The prestigious Daytona 500 — with its $16.6 million purse — had 48 compete in its Gatorade Twin 150 qualifying races. At least 45 cars attempted to qualify for every race in 2010. � In his 29th year of NASCAR Cup competition, Mark Martin has made a career out of consistent performances. From 1989-2000, Martin finished no worse than eighth in the point standings while racking up 237 top 10s in 343 starts. Martin is currently on another consistent streak, having finished on the lead lap in 13 consecutive Cup events, dating back to the AAA 400 in Dover on September 26, 2010. Martin’s streak is eight races shy of Jeff Gordon’s modern-era record of 21 straight lead lap finishes, which came from June 14, 1998-February 14, 1999. � In other “streak news,” Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart have not recorded a DNF (Did Not Finish) in 32 races, the longest active streaks on the Cup circuit among drivers that have run every event. Edwards and Stewart have a way to go to catch Clint Bowyer, though. Bowyer holds the modernera (1972-present) record by finishing 83-straight races. CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Kroger 250 Track: Martinsville Speedway When: Saturday, April 2 TV: SPEED (2:00 pm EST) 2010 Winner: Kevin Harvick Classic Moments Auto Club Speedway A tense race weekend turns emotional at what was then known as California Speedway in 2001. On Friday, rumors spread that defending Cup champion Bobby Labonte has been fatally injured in a plane crash. Putting those false reports to rest, Labonte goes out and wins the pole for the NAPA Auto Parts 500. In the race, Rusty Wallace is clearly the man to beat, and the cagey veteran doesn’t disappoint. Wallace outduels Jeff Gordon by .27 seconds to win on what would have been Dale Earnhardt’s 50th birthday. Wallace salutes his fallen friend by flying an Earnhardt flag out the driver-side window on his cool-down laps. Wallace’s 54th career win also marks his 16th straight season with at least one victory. That streak would come to an end the following year. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: If you’re picking against the 48, you’re picking wrong. Three of those wins have come in the last five races. Pretty Solid Pick: Three of the four Roush boys (Biffle, Edwards and Kenseth) make fine picks this week. Good Sleeper Pick: David Reutimann has taken to the big intermediates. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Marcos Ambrose, no matter the sheet metal. Insider Tip: Bottom line is they’re going to have to go through Jimmie and Carl.
