Possible rate increase for Rutland explained
Vote possible at
Thursday meeting
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
MEIGS COUNTY —
Rumors and conversations
have been abuzz this week
in Rutland as residents
received letters from the
Meigs County Commissioners about a possible
rate increase for water and
sewer customers.
Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith took
time Wednesday to discuss
the proposed resolution
that would set new water
and sewer rates for the customers in Rutland.
A letter, along with a
draft of the proposed resolution, has been mailed to
customers in Rutland over
the past week, letting residents know of the potential changes.
Currently, a minimum
bill for Rutland water and
sewer customers is $65.
That bill includes $27 for
2,000 gallons of water;
$20.25 for 2,000 gallons
of sewer; $16.75 for sewer
debt; and $1 for a service
charge. Charges in excess
of the minimum (2,000
gallons) are currently at $9
per 1,000 gallons for both
water and sewer, meaning
if someone used 3,000 gal-
lons of water would pay a
bill of $83.
This was the pricing
structure in place when
commissioners took responsibility of the water
and sewer operations.
The resolution establishes the following rates:
$30.50 for the first 2,000
gallons of sewer; $30.50
for the first 2,000 gallons
of water; and the $1 service charge. The minimum
bill would then be $72.
Water and sewer used over
the minimum would be
charged at $8 per 1,000
gallons for each, meaning a
person using 3,000 gallons
of water would pay a bill of
$88 dollars.
Under the new structure, the $16.75 paid each
month for sewer debt
would be figured into the
sewer rate and not an additional charge.
The resolution also allows for an optional 3 percent annual increase. The
increase can be waived or
cut to a smaller percentage
based on the current situation of the system.
Smith said that, as with
so many aspects of finances, the commissioners are
looking at ways to make
the water and sewer system run more efficiently
and cut costs whenever
possible.
He also said that some of
this has been done by the
commissioners retaining
the operation of the system
instead of contracting with
another agency or village
to handle the day-to-day
responsibilities, such as
maintenance and billing.

Sign-up begins
for USDA Disaster
Assistance Programs
River City Players Dixie Sayre, Rhanda Cross, Gary Walker, Lexie Medley, Madeline Shope, Elizabeth Nease perform
in Doo-Wop Wed Widing Hood.
‘Doo-Wop Wed Widing Hood’
By Nathan Jeffers
WASHINGTON — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
announced that starting April 16, eligible farmers and
ranchers can sign up for U.S. Department of Agriculture
disaster assistance programs restored by passage of the
2014 Farm Bill.
“We implemented these programs in record time and
kept our commitment to begin sign-up today,” Vilsack
said. “To ensure enrollment goes as smoothly as possible,
dedicated staff in more than 2,000 Farm Service Agency
offices across the country are doing everything necessary
to help producers that have suffered through two and a
half difficult years with no assistance because these programs were awaiting Congressional action.”
Depending on the size and type of farm or ranch operation, eligible producers can enroll in one of four programs
administered by the Farm Service Agency. The Livestock
Forage Disaster Program, and the Livestock Indemnity
Program will provide payments to eligible producers for
livestock deaths and grazing losses that have occurred
since the expiration of the livestock disaster assistance
programs in 2011, and including calendar years 2012,
2013, and 2014. The Emergency Assistance for Livestock,
Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish that have suffered losses because
of disease, severe weather, blizzards and wildfires.
Enrollment also begins today for the Tree Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to
qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes and vines damaged
by natural disasters.

Special to the Sentinel
SYRACUSE — The River City
Kids, the children’s division of
River City Players, presented “DooWop Wed Widing Hood” this past
weekend, the story of three princes
trying to win Red Riding Hood’s
heart set against a background of
1950s style dress, music and dance.
Under the direction of Celia
McCoy, the play tells the story of
Strong Prince Justin, Smart Prince
Jason and Loud Prince Frank, who
become of age to marry and all three
decide to “woo” Red Riding Hood.
While Little Red Riding Hood is
merely concerned with playing with
her hula-hoop, her older sisters Big
Green Riding Hood and Medium
Purple Riding Hood are vying for attention from one of the princes.
The three princes then seek help
from the Fairy Godmother, who
sets three tasks for the princes to
complete in the competition for
Little Red’s heart. But soon they
find themselves facing the foiling
attempts of the Evil Queen, and two
guys in a dragon suit, to keep them
from succeeding. Little Red Riding
Hood must also face a run-in with
the Big Bad Wolf and decide if she
really wants to get married to the
winning prince.
Through several songs and dances,
Dixie Sayre, Gary Walker, Elizabeth Nease, Madeline Shope, and Mary Roush
delight the audience with their antics.
including “Boys, Boys,” “The Fairy
Tale Blues,” “On This Night” and
“Wooing Wittle Wed Widing Hood,“
the story stays true to the formula of
the fairy tale and in the end, everyone
lives happily ever after.
Children in the cast ranged
from stage veterans to first-time
performers from both Meigs and
Mason counties, including Mallory
Allen, E.J. Anderson, Noah Anderson, Carlo Averion, Primo Averion,
Sophia Averion, Rhanda Cross,
Jessica Dangerfield, Paige Denney,
Jonah Diddle, Jonna Epple, Claire
Howard, Lexie Medley, Elizabeth
Nease, Grant Roush, Mary Roush,
Zachary Roush, Madeline Shope,
and Bryleigh Weigum.
Previous River City Kids performances include “Let Down Your
Hair, Rapunzel,” “The Big Bad
Musical,” “School House Rock,”
“Recess,” and “Honk Jr.”
Also making cameo appearances
were Gary Walker, Dixie Sayre
and Nathan Jeffers. Others assisting McCoy in various production
aspects were Julie Howard, Linda
Warner, Joan Nease, Linda Myers,
Terri Sturgeon, Tom Reed, Sam
McCall, Roger and Mary Gilmore,
Tyler Collins, Karen Walker and
Kathy Reed.

Regional Scholars Leadership Conference on
April 1-2 at Camp Akita
in Logan.
The leadership conference is designed for high

dynamics,
personality
types and differences in
communication
styles

archery, team-building activities, ground initiatives
and leadership qualities.
A college fair was a part
of the event allowing the

new discoveries about
themselves and lasting
friendships.

CINCINNATI — Ohio officials must immediately recognize the same-sex marriages of four couples who sued
over the state’s gay marriage ban, a federal judge said
Wednesday, while staying the broader effects of his ruling
to avoid “premature celebration and confusion” in case it’s
overturned on appeal.
Judge Timothy Black stayed his ruling ordering Ohio to recognize the marriages of gay couples who wed in other states
pending appeal in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The appeals process likely will take months.
Had Black not issued the stay, all married gay couples
living in Ohio would have been able to immediately begin
obtaining the same benefits as any other married couple
in the state, including property rights and the right to
make some medical decisions for each other.
Black said the stay does not apply to the four couples
who filed the February lawsuit that led to the court case,
and ordered Ohio to immediately list both spouses in each
relationship as parents on their children’s birth certificates.

Rio Grande steps up search for new president
University also announces Presidential Review Committee
RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande has hired AGB
Search to coordinate a national
search for its 22nd president.
Founded by the Association of
Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges in 2010, AGB
Search has assisted more than
215 searches at more than 157
institutions.
“The Association of Governing Boards is one of the most respected institutions in higher education,” said Jack Finch, chair
of the University of Rio Grande
Board of Trustees. “Hiring AGB
Search grants Rio Grande access
to a robust network of resources
to ensure our presidential search
produces the right candidate to
lead Rio Grande.”
Finch co-chairs the joint Presidential Search Commission
along with Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees
Chair Shawn Saunders. The commission is tasked with providing
oversight and direction for the
national search and transition.
Rio Grande’s 22nd president
will follow President Dr. Barbara Gellman-Danley, who has
been appointed president of the
Higher Learning Commission
effective July 7. The HLC is a
nonprofit regional accrediting
agency that accredits more than
1,000 colleges and universities
with a home base in one of 19
states stretching from West Virginia to Arizona.
AGB Search’s primary responsibility in Rio Grande’s presidential search is to identify and
recruit quality candidates from
an inclusive and diverse network that is the result of more
than 92 years of AGB service to
board members and administrators throughout the landscape of
higher education.
AGB Search also will provide
support for a successful transition of leadership at Rio Grande
following the hire of its 22nd
president.
Dr. Loren J. Anderson will
serve as Rio Grande’s AGB
Search consultant. Anderson
completed 20 years as president
of Pacific Lutheran University in
2012 and has 40 years of experience in higher education to draw
from in assisting Rio Grande
with its presidential search.
“It’s an honor for me to work
with the Presidential Search
Commission at Rio Grande,”
Anderson said. “The University
of Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Community College represent
a partnership that is unique in
higher education that provides
a vital and essential educational
resource.”
Anderson met with Rio
Grande administrators, faculty,
staff, students, trustees and community stakeholders throughout
Monday and Tuesday to develop
a formal presidential search profile. Once finalized by the Presidential Search Commission,
the search will officially launch
through national advertisement
and promotion in leading higher
education trade publications and
the extensive networks affiliated
with AGB and Anderson.
May will be devoted to the
building of an extensive candidate pool, with evaluation of applications to begin in early June
by the Presidential Review Committee. Finalists will be brought
to campus in mid-July for final
interviews.
Presidential Review Committee members include: URG board
member, Gallia County Coroner
and co-chair Dr. Daniel H. Whitely; RGCC board member, Farmers Bank & Savings Co. President
and co-chair Paul Reed; URG
board member and Information
Investors Group Managing Director Ronald K. Glover; URG board

Division over death penalty expected
By Andrew Welsh-Huggins
Associated Press
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
— Divisions were to be
expected on a panel that
spent more than two
years studying capital
punishment in the state,
the chief justice of the
Ohio Supreme Court said
as the group wraps up its
work.
The panel convened
in 2011 by Chief Justice
Maureen O’Connor finalized its recommendations
last week and now awaits
a dissenting report from
prosecutors on the committee who disagreed
with some proposals.
“There was going to be
some really divisive topics
and going to be diametrically opposed positions,”
O’Connor told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
“I’m not surprised. And I
think it’s healthy.”
Recommendations include reducing the number of crimes eligible for

the death penalty and creating a statewide board
that would have the final
say over death penalty
charges in the state. Defense attorneys, judges,
prosecutors and capital
punishment experts sat
on the committee.
Many of the recommendations focused on re-
ducing the role that race
plays in capital punishment. Data show that in
Ohio and other states the
killers of white victims
are more likely to receive
a death sentence than

and former county prosecutor, has said the goal
SUV
of the committee was a
fair, impartial and balanced review of the state’s
3-decade-old death penalty law. She made it clear
from the start that abolishing capital punishment
was not on the table.
Implementing the panel’s 56 recommendations
would reserve the death
penalty for the worst of
the worst criminals as lawmakers envisioned when
they enacted the 1981 law,
according to supporters of
the proposals.
Prosecutors say the
recommendations would
make it virtually impossible to sentence anyone
to death in Ohio.
Many of the proposals
would require lawmakers’ support, while others could be approved
as Supreme Court rules.
O’Connor said she hopes
lawmakers take a comprehensive approach to any
recommendations
they
consider.

Gallia County Sheriff’s Department, Point
Pleasant Fire Department and Point Pleasant Police Department (PPPD), Thursday, to
search for the vehicle in the Ohio River just
north of Riverfront Park. The search had been
suspended due to poor weather conditions.
The Gallia County Sheriff’s Department
was able to spot a large item under the
water which is consistent with the size of
a vehicle about 30 to 40 feet off the bank
near the West Virginia side of the river,
though no visual contact was made. This
item was tagged and a dive team from the
Cottageville Fire Department arrived to
search this area on Tuesday but was unable to do so with deteriorating weather
conditions. The BCI dive team will now
be searching in the area tagged by the Gallia County Sheriff’s Department.
As previously reported, PPPD Chief Joe
Veith said a 2008 GMC Arcadia SUV was
stolen from a residence on South Park Dr.
the morning the SUV was spotted in the river. On Wednesday, Veith said after a review
of footage taken from one of the security
cameras at Riverfront Park, at around 6:46
a.m. Tuesday morning, an SUV resembling
the one stolen from Park Drive is seen en-
tering the park at the 5th Street entrance.
A witness at the park that morning said he
saw the SUV enter here and then accelerate quickly through the park. The witness
didn’t see the SUV exit and it does not exit
through the 5th Street entrance according to
the camera - the SUV is never captured on
camera again. This has opened up the possibility the vehicle could’ve been launched
into the river by descending the ramp into
the amphitheatre and then into the river,
though this is just conjecture at this point.
The PPPD was still investigating the
lead the camera had provided on Wednesday afternoon. The camera also reveals a
driver and possibly a passenger in one of
the shots at the 5th Street entrance.
As reported previously, the PPPD was
alerted by Mason County 911 of a vehicle
reported in the water around 7:25 a.m.
Tuesday. The call came in from the U.S.
Coast Guard after being notified by a towboat operator. Veith said the towboat operator reported seeing what appeared to
be a white or light colored SUV, noticing
its red brake lights first, then the river’s
current spun the vehicle around to show
its headlines burning. The towboat tried
to stay with the vehicle but eventually lost
visual contact with it.

In addition, the commissioners, staff in the Meigs
County Auditor’s Office and
the commissioners’ office
clerk have taken on the additional responsibilities of the
billing and customers service
calls about the system. The
system is also maintained
by a small crew to keep from
passing additional expenses
on to customers.
The Meigs County
Commissioners took over
ownership and operating
responsibilities of the Rutland water and sewer system on April 1, 2013, due
to the increasing debt with
of the village with regard
to the system.
In early 2012, members
of the Rutland Village Council approved the transfer of
complete ownership and
operation of the village’s
water distribution and
sewer collection and treat-
ment systems to the Meigs
County Commissioners.
It was also made clear, at
the time, that it was been
done for the benefit of the
citizens of the area, according to the commissioners.
It was previously reported that the purchase of the
water and sewer facilities
allows for the restructuring of the loan currently in
place between the village
and the Ohio Water Development Association.
During a January 2012
public meeting, John
Rauch of the Rural Community Assistance Program — who has been
instrumental in trying to
work out a solution for
Rutland regarding its declining water and sewer
systems, which have been
running with negative fund
balances for many years —
spoke to the citizens about
the problems and possible
solutions.
Rauch had been working
with the village for about
two years at that time, and
had told the village that a
rate hike of around $30 (if
not more) would be needed if Rutland continued
to operate the water and
sewer systems.
Rauch added that the
sale option has the most
potential to alleviate Rutland’s problems and that
commissioners are only
trying to help and have
made the offer solely for
Rutland’s benefit.
Action could be taken on
the resolution as early as
the April 17 regular meeting of the Meigs County
Commissioners. Weekly
meetings take place at 11
a.m. Thursday.

The need to understanding our divisions
By George Will
In a 2006 interview, Supreme
Court Justice Stephen Breyer
said the Constitution is “basically about” one word — “democracy” — that appears in neither
that document nor the Declaration of Independence.
Democracy is America’s way
of allocating political power.
The Constitution, however, was
adopted to confine that power
in order to “secure the blessings
of” that which simultaneously
justifies and limits democratic
government — natural liberty.
The fundamental division in
American politics is between
those who take their bearings
from the individual’s right to
a capacious, indeed indefinite,
realm of freedom, and those
whose fundamental value is the
right of the majority to have its
way in making rules about which
specified liberties shall be respected.
Now, the nation no longer
lacks what it has long needed, a
slender book that lucidly explains
the intensity of conservatism’s
disagreements with progressivism. For the many Americans
who are puzzled and dismayed
by the heatedness of political
argument today, the message of
Timothy Sandefur’s “The Conscience of the Constitution: The
Declaration of Independence and
the Right to Liberty” is this: The
temperature of today’s politics is
commensurate to the stakes of
today’s argument.
The argument is between conservatives who say American
politics is basically about a condition, liberty, and progressives
who say it is about a process,
democracy. Progressives, who
consider democracy the source
of liberty, reverse the Founders’
premise, which was: Liberty preexists governments, which, the
Declaration says, are legitimate
when “instituted” to “secure”
natural rights.
Progressives consider, for example, the rights to property
and free speech as, in Sandefur’s
formulation, “spaces of privacy”
that government chooses “to
carve out and protect” to the
extent that these rights serve
democracy. Conservatives believe that liberty, understood as a
general absence of interference,
and individual rights, which can-
not be exhaustively listed, are
natural and that governmental
restrictions on them must be as
few as possible and rigorously
justified. Merely invoking the
right of a majority to have its
way is an insufficient justification.
With the Declaration, Americans ceased claiming the rights
of aggrieved Englishmen and
began asserting rights that are
universal because they are natural, meaning necessary for the
flourishing of human nature. “In
Europe,” wrote James Madison,
“charters of liberty have been
granted by power,” but America
has “charters of power granted
by liberty.”
Sandefur, principal attorney
at the Pacific Legal Foundation,
notes that since the 1864 admission of Nevada to statehood, every state’s admission has been
conditioned on adoption of a
constitution consistent with the
U.S. Constitution and the Declaration. The Constitution is the
nation’s fundamental law but is
not the first law. The Declaration is, appearing on Page 1 of
Volume 1 of the U.S. Statutes
at Large and at the beginning of
the U.S. Code. Hence the Declaration “sets the framework” for
reading the Constitution not as
“basically about” democratic
government — majorities —
granting rights but about natural
rights defining the limits of even
democratic government.
The perennial conflict in
American politics, Sandefur
says, concerns “which takes
precedence: the individual’s
right to freedom, or the power
of the majority to govern.” The
purpose of the post-Civil War’s
14th Amendment protection of
Americans’ “privileges or immunities” — protections vitiated
by an absurdly narrow Supreme
Court reading of that clause in
1873 — was to assert, on behalf of emancipated blacks, national rights of citizens. National
citizenship grounded on natural
rights would thwart Southern
states then asserting their power
to acknowledge only such rights
as they chose to dispense.
Government, the Framers
said, is instituted to improve
upon the state of nature, in which
the individual is at the mercy of
the strong. But when democracy,
meaning the process of major-
ity rule, is the supreme value —
when it is elevated to the status
of what the Constitution is “basically about” — the individual is
again at the mercy of the strong,
the strength of mere numbers.
Sandefur says progressivism
“inverts America’s constitutional
foundations” by holding that the
Constitution is “about” democracy, which rejects the Framers’ premise that majority rule
is legitimate “only within the
boundaries” of the individual’s
natural rights. These include —
indeed, are mostly — unenumerated rights whose existence and
importance are affirmed by the
Ninth Amendment.
Many conservatives should
be discomfited by Sandefur’s
analysis, which entails this conclusion: Their indiscriminate
denunciations of “judicial activism” inadvertently serve progressivism. The protection of
rights, those constitutionally
enumerated and others, requires
a judiciary actively engaged in
enforcing what the Constitution
is “basically about,” which is
making majority power respect
individuals’ rights.
Government as an innovator? You bet! Baseball’s sacred
By Lee Hamilton
Five years ago, the federal government spent $169 billion to fund basic
research and development. This fiscal
year, it’s down to $134 billion.
People who believe in public belttightening applaud drops like that. I
understand why: there are many reasons to reduce government spending.
But in this case they’re wrong. We need
to boost the government’s investment
in R&D, not slash it.
Let’s begin with the federal government’s record, which is nothing short
of impressive. The bar codes that
revolutionized inventory control and
tracking were developed with a grant
from the National Science Foundation.
Google’s founders depended on government grants for their early research
into search algorithms. Computer
touch-screens, computer-aided design,
GPS navigation, voice-activated “virtual assistants,” the Internet — all based
on government research or funds.
So were key advancements in agriculture (including the “easy-care
cotton” you’ll find in your permanentpress slacks), the horizontal drilling
techniques that have turned the U.S.
into a natural-gas powerhouse, and
many life-saving pharmaceuticals.
The plain truth is that much of the
research that catalyzes and accelerates
technological advance is too risky, too
slow to pay off, or too expensive for the
private sector to undertake. “Today,
the scope, duration and cost of breakthrough research is either beyond the
private sector’s corporate and philanthropic resources or outside its profit
model,” wrote Teresa Tritch in The
New York Times last year.
This is not welcome news for market absolutists, but clearly there is a
government role to play in underpinning economic dynamism. Mariana
Mazzucato, a British economist who
last year published a bracing book
on the subject, “The Entrepreneurial
State,” argues that federal government
programs such as Small Business Innovation Research and the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency
have provided far more funding for
early-stage technology companies than
private venture capital has done.
Mazzucato writes, “Not only has
government funded the riskiest research, whether applied or basic, but it
has indeed often been the source of the
most radical, path-breaking types of innovation. To this extent it has actively
created markets, not just fixed them.”
There is no question that there will
be waste in research and development,
just as private corporations sometimes
veer onto the wrong track. All you
need do is think back to 2012 and the
scandal surrounding Solyndra, the Silicon Valley-based solar panel manufacturer that collapsed, leaving taxpayers
on the hook for $535 million in federal
loan guarantees.
Opponents of public spending often
seize on cases like this to make their
point — conveniently forgetting that
Apple, too, benefited not just from
the government research that created
many of the technologies it uses, but
from early support from the Small Business Investment Company program.
The point is not that government in-

vestment in research and development
is better or worse than private-sector
investment, but that collaboration between government and industry puts
us in a stronger position competitively
than either sector acting alone. Both
are needed to solve big problems.
Which is why the cuts we’re seeing in
federal R&D spending are so alarming.
We’re already down to a level of funding last seen over a decade ago, and a
study last year by the American Association for the Advancement of Science
sees some $53 billion in federal R&D
investment at risk if the sequester remains in place for another three years.
It is impossible to know how many
new products and even new industries
won’t get developed as a result, but it’s
certainly safe to say that the U.S. economy — and we as Americans — will
bear the cost of these unspent dollars
well into the future.
We live in an era of pervasive antigovernment sentiment. There is no
question, as I have argued many times
before, that both Congress and the executive branch need to improve their
game and learn how to become more
effective and less wasteful of both time
and money. But the importance of federal spending on research and development is undeniable. At a time when we
as a nation face mounting economic
challenges and a raft of eager business competitors, cutting investment
in R&D, rather than expanding it, is
foolhardy.

temple exists in Chicago
By Esther Cepeda
Call it a character defect, but I don’t like baseball. And I especially don’t like the Chicago Cubs — losers I never found
lovable.
I grew up less than a mile west of Wrigley Field and games
there represented summer-long inconveniences such as midday parades of drunken fans who thought nothing of littering
your lawn with empty beer cups or using our tree as a restroom.
As such, I was not the ideal candidate for enjoying the book
“A Nice Little Place on the North Side: Wrigley Field at One
Hundred,” written by columnist George F. Will. But the tribute only grazes the underperforming Cubs as it honors the
shrine that keeps the club afloat.
Like all good history books, this is not just about a pitiful
team, or a temple to America’s national pastime, or the hardknuckled town that rings its Friendly Confines, or the “unhinged enthusiasts” and their blind adoration for the Cubs.
Rather, it illustrates how the world develops around a microcosm of humanity.
Covering topics as diverse as the actual beginnings of the
game in this country — it was in no small part a post-Civil
War vehicle for healing the wounds of that conflict — and the
bold names that gave the stadium some atmosphere (Al Capone, Babe Ruth, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens),
Will gives us a compact retelling of everything from The Great
Migration to prohibition, baseball and Wrigley Field’s desegregation, along with a nod to the reviled Steve Bartman, who
was blamed for the Cubs losing a playoff game in 2003 by reflexively reaching for a ball headed into the stands.
Will really does cover practically everything. Who would’ve
thought I’d run across a women’s history lesson? It turns out
that the Cubs’ outreach to women was so successful that “the
number of women who were admitted free in the 1920s and
early 1930s probably did … exceed some teams’ paid attendance each season,” Will writes. “There were, however, occasions when people needed protection from the ladies, who
could be disorderly in their rush for admission to the ballpark
and for choice seats.”
Will quotes Cubs owner and chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr., who said, “It is easier to control a crowd of
100,000 men than of 10,000 women,” and told a story about
an elderly woman who he found weeping because she had inadvertently been swept inside the park by a “terrible mob” of
women.
Similarly, I never would have understood beer’s seminal role
in shaping the whole of Western civilization had Will not meticulously chronicled how the beverage — in addition to the
beauty and Williamsburg-like historic bona fides of Wrigley
Field itself — enables the losers in question to be so lovable.
According to Will’s calculations, Cubs ticket prices are the
third highest in all of baseball, but the cost of beer at Wrigley
is the third cheapest in the major leagues. Coincidence? Not
a chance.
The book closes with a meditation on the nature of both our
human desire to belong to a tribe and to have leisure. No less
important: making memories with loved ones. And despite
my practically un-American lack of interest in baseball, even I
have a favorite memory of Wrigley Field.
When I was about 5, my beloved uncle Juan took me to the
stadium, where I got a hot dog, a soft drink, a cap and was
impressed by the behavior of the inebriated young women sitting behind us, slurring and protesting their way through the
contest, which I recall absolutely nothing about.
After leaving the park, we drove off to pick my mom up
from work. Sitting in the passenger seat of Juan’s brown Pontiac Catalina, I turned to the person idling next to us in traffic.
Through the open window I jutted out my arm, made an obscene gesture and repeated the choice expletive the girls had
been chanting during the game.
My uncle, horrified, begged me to never do either of those
things again or else my mom would kill him. I happily complied.
Will does a beautiful job of making Wrigley Field an object
of affection for fans and even those of us for whom — in the
words of legendary sportscaster Red Barber — baseball is dull
only because of the dullness of our own minds.

Court to weigh challenge to ban on campaign lies
WASHINGTON (AP)
— As political campaigns
begin to heat up, the Supreme Court is deciding
whether false accusations
and mudslinging made
during an election can be
punished as a crime.
Addressing an issue of
negative campaigning that
now may be a fact of life in
American politics, justices
will consider a challenge to
an Ohio law that bars false
statements about political
candidates. The case being
heard next week has attracted national attention,
with least 15 other states
having similar laws.
Groups across the political spectrum are criticizing the law as a restriction
on the First Amendment
right to free speech.
Even Ohio’s attorney
general, Republican Mike
DeWine, says he has serious concerns about the
law. His office filed two
briefs in the case, one from
staff lawyers obligated to
defend the state and another expressing DeWine’s
personal view that the law
“may chill constitutionally
protected political speech.”
“The thing we see time
and time again in political
campaigns is that candidates use the law to game
the system by filing a complaint,” DeWine said in an
interview with The Associated Press.
In an attempt at humor,
satirist P.J. O’Rourke and
the libertarian Cato Institute filed a widely circulated brief ridiculing the
law and defending political
smear tactics as a cornerstone of American democracy.
O’Rourke’s brief celebrates a history of dubious campaign remarks including President Richard
Nixon’s “I am not a crook,”
President George H.W.
Bush’s “Read my lips: no
new taxes!” and President
Barack Obama’s “If you
like your health care plan,
you can keep it.”
The Ohio law makes
it illegal to knowingly or
recklessly make false statements about a candidate
during an election. The
high court is not expected
to rule directly on the constitutional issue, instead
focusing on the narrower
question of whether the
law can be challenged before it is actually enforced.
The case began during
the 2010 election, when
the Susan B. Anthony List,
an anti-abortion group,
planned to launch a billboard campaign accusing
then-Democratic Rep. Steven Driehaus of supporting taxpayer-funded abortion because he backed
President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul.
Driehaus urged the Ohio
Elections Commission to
block the ads, arguing that
the proposed billboard
was false under Ohio law.
Given the threat of legal
action, the billboard owner
declined to run the ad.
Driehaus eventually lost
his re-election bid and
withdrew his complaint before it could be fully heard.
The Susan B. Anthony List
then challenged the state
law as unconstitutional,
but a federal judge ruled
against the group, saying
it hadn’t suffered any harm
in the case and thus didn’t
have standing to sue. The
6th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Cincinnati
agreed.
The Susan B. Anthony
List argues that it continues to face the threat of
prosecution under the law,
creating a chilling effect
on speech that gives the
groups a right to challenge
the law without waiting for
a ruling from the election
commission.
This election season,
the anti-abortion group
says it’s moving ahead
with plans to purchase
billboards in opposition to
Democratic U.S. senators
in Arkansas, Louisiana
and North Carolina; those
states have similar laws
banning false campaign
speech. But the Susan B.
Anthony List is declining to run billboard ads
in Ohio until the case is
resolved. “The risks quite
frankly are too high,” said
the group’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser.
The Obama administration backs that argument,
even though White House
officials have steadfastly
denied the proposition
that the health care law allows abortions funded by
taxpayer dollars. The ad-
ministration says a “credible threat of prosecution”
will chill the Susan B. Anthony List from engaging
in “the very type of speech
to which the First Amendment has its fullest and
most urgent application.”
In a telephone interview,
Driehaus said the work of
the Ohio elections commission is needed “to call
people into account when
spreading malicious lies.”
“Not every candidate has
millions of dollars to spend
on TV ads, and it’s difficult
to get the truth out, especially when constituents
are bombarded with messages,” Driehaus said from
Swaziland, where he is a
Peace Corps director.
Lawyers for the state
of Ohio assert there is no
“credible threat of prosecution” in the case because
it never went beyond the
very preliminary stages of
review before it was dismissed. The fact that the
Susan B. Anthony List
might use the same language again is too vague to
give the group standing to
challenge the law, the state
argues.

Marathon organizers confident of safe race
Alex Hawley | OVP Sports
BOSTON (AP) — Police
stepped up patrols near the
Boston Marathon finish line after a masked man walked in the
street with a rice cooker in his
backpack only hours after the
city marked the anniversary of
last year’s deadly bombing.
The arrest of a man whose
mother said he had a mental disorder rattled nerves as
Boston prepared for the annual race, but authorities said
Wednesday that they did not
consider it a security breach.
They also expressed confidence
in heightened security measures for Monday’s event while
acknowledging the challenge of
protecting an estimated 1 million spectators and 36,000 runners across 26.2 miles and eight
Massachusetts communities.
Security plans include thousands of uniformed police, hundreds of plainclothes officers
and about 100 strategically positioned video cameras that will
monitor the crowds. Police also
strongly discouraged spectators
from bringing backpacks.
“I believe this will be the safest place on the planet on April
21,” said Dave McGillivray, the
long-time race director for the
Boston Athletic Association.
Boston police detonated the
suspicious backpack Tuesday
night, along with a second
backpack that was later found
to have been left behind by a
journalist covering the day’s
remembrances, Police Commissioner William Evans said.
Neither bag was determined
to have explosives.
The 25-year-old suspect,
Kevin “Kayvon” Edson, was arraigned Wednesday on several
charges including threatening
battery and possession of a
hoax device. Bail was set at
$100,000 and a judge ordered
that Edson be evaluated at a
state psychiatric hospital.
Evans said that Boylston
Street, where the finish line is
located and where twin bombs
killed three people and injured
more than 260 others last year,
was not in lockdown when Edson walked down the street barefoot in the pouring rain, wearing
a black veil and robot mask.
“That individual, like anyone, had the right to basically
walk up the street,” Evans said.
But because he was acting
suspiciously, however, police
quickly intervened, he said.
According to a police report
read aloud in court Wednesday, Edson told an officer: “I
knew what I was doing, it was
conceived in my head. It’s symbolism, come on. The performance got the best of me.”
Joie Edson said her son had
battled bipolar disorder for
many years and that his mental
state had recently deteriorated.
His lawyer, public defender
Shannon Lopez, said he was
diagnosed with mental illness
at 19 and that a doctor said Edson showed signs of being off
his medication recently.
The finish line will not be
closed to the public until the
morning of the race, Evans
said, but police planned to increase visibility in the area over
the next several days.
In seeking to discourage
spectators from bringing backpacks, police said those carrying them are likely to have
them searched.
“This year, we can all understand that someone is going to
feel anxious, nervous, to stand
next to someone with a back-
pack,” said Kurt Schwartz, the
state’s undersecretary of public
safety. “Why do that this year?”
Spectators were advised to
tell a police officer or call 911 if
they see anything they consider suspicious along the route.
Evans said undercover officers with special training will
be working the crowds looking for suspicious packages or
anyone “who might be up to no
good.” He also said police plan
to limit the size of the crowds on
Boylston Street, and if they appear to be getting too large, people will be asked to move to other
locations to view the race. But he
added that police do not want to
create undue anxiety, either.
“We are not going to scare
people and make it look like it’s
an armed camp,” he said.
The bombs at last year’s marathon were made from pressure
cookers hidden in backpacks,
authorities said. Lawyers for
the surviving bombing suspect,
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were in
federal court on Wednesday
arguing that the government
should not be allowed to monitor prison visits from the defendant’s two sisters.

Johnny Cueto of Cincinnati pitches against the New York at Yankee Stadium in New York, on Sunday, May 20 2012.
Cueto throws third shutout as Reds beat Pirates
CINCINNATI (AP) — That
playoff loss in Pittsburgh last year?
Johnny Cueto never thought about
it much. So getting a chance to shut
out the Pirates in a rematch wasn’t
any more special.
Not to him, anyway.
Cueto pitched his third career
shutout against the team that beat
him in the NL wild card game, and
Joey Votto hit a two-run homer that
led the Cincinnati Reds over the
Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 Wednesday
for their first winning series this
season.
Cueto (1-2) had his way with the
lineup that beat him 6-2 at PNC Park
in the playoffs. He limited the Pirates
to three hits, didn’t walk a batter and
struck out a career-high 12 during
his first shutout since 2011.
Any extra satisfaction given what
happened the last time he faced
them?
“I never think too much about
those things,” Cueto said, with assistant trainer Tomas Vera interpreting. “That was 2013.”
And Cueto is starting to look
more like a vintage ace.
He started only 11 games last
season because of strained muscles
by his pitching shoulder. The righthander has been solid this season
but hasn’t gotten much help from
an offense that scored only one run
while he was on the mound during
his first three starts.
Cueto didn’t need much help
on Wednesday, putting the Pirates
away with 107 pitches.
“Welcome back, Johnny Cueto,”
manager Bryan Price said. “He’s
been great his first three starts, and
he was dominant today. It was nice
to win our first series. Pittsburgh is
a handful.”
Several Pirates questioned called
third strikes by Quinn Wolcott, a
Triple-A umpire called up to the
majors. Eight of Cueto’s strikeouts
were called.
Maybe it didn’t mean anything
extra to Cueto, but his teammates
got some satisfaction from beating
the Pirates.
“For us to come together the
way we have, especially against the
team that beat us in the playoffs, it’s
a lot of fun,” third baseman Todd
Frazier said.
After the NL Central rivals combined for 13 homers while splitting
the first two games, Votto supplied
the one that broke open the deciding game.
Left-hander Francisco Liriano
(0-3) opened the game by walking
Billy Hamilton, who stole second
base and came around on two wild
pitches. That was it for scoring until the seventh inning, when Cueto
singled and Votto hit his fourth
homer in six games. Brayan Pena
doubled home a run in the eighth.
Liriano and Cueto also were
matched in the wild card game last
season. Liriano got the better of
that one, going seven innings for
the victory while Cueto failed to
make it through the fourth.
Liriano had trouble at the outset
on Wednesday. Ten of his first 13
pitches were balls. He walked Hamilton and Votto opening the inning,
then threw the two wild pitches
that let in the run.
The Ohio River rivals had a
bruising series last season, with 28
batters hit overall — the most for
any series in the majors. It’s been
mostly pain-free so far, with only
two batters hit during the series.
Pirates left fielder Jose Tabata left
the game in the fifth inning with what
appeared to be a mild concussion after he slammed into the outfield wall
while catching Pena’s fly ball. Tabata
fell, held up his glove to show he’d
caught the ball and sat on the warning track for several minutes.
A trainer examined Tabata’s
neck, jaw and head, and he was
helped off the field.
“You talk about laying out and
making a catch and hitting the
wall hard,” Pirates manager Clint
Hurdle said. “I was just glad he was
able to walk off. We’ll see how it
feels tomorrow.”
NOTES: The Pirates completed
their first trip of the season at
3-6. They open a four-game series
against Milwaukee on Thursday,
with Edinson Volquez starting
against Yovani Gallardo. … The
Reds concluded a 3-3 homestand.
They’re off on Thursday before
opening a 10-game trip at Wrigley
Field. Alfredo Simon starts against
the Cubs’ Jeff Samardzija. … Reds
closer Aroldis Chapman is to throw
in the bullpen for the second time
on Thursday. The Reds are hoping
to have him back from a head injury
next month. … Cueto was called for
interference twice while trying to
bunt. The first time, he ran out of
the box to bunt the ball. The second time, he stood in the box and
blocked catcher Tony Sanchez from
fielding the bunt.

Cavs Deng wins NBA citizenship award
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP)
— Luol Deng has never once forgotten home.
He has spent much of his adult
life trying to give back to his native South Sudan, the war-torn
African nation the Cavaliers forward and his family fled when he
was a young boy.
And while Deng’s contributions have touched many, he
knows the work will never end.
“I wish I could wake up tomorrow and nobody needs help,”
Deng said. “But we all know
that’s not going to happen. I’m
just happy to be in the position
that I’m in to be able to do the
things that I’m able to do.”
On Tuesday, Deng was commended for his compassion and
dedication when he was named
the winner of the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, given
annually to an NBA player,
coach or trainer for outstanding
community service.
Deng has had a long commitment to philanthropic work in
South Sudan, which gained independence in 2011 but has been
ravaged by ethnic violence. The
two-time All-Star, who came to
Cleveland in a trade from Chicago in January, recently recorded
a public service announcement
for EnoughProject.org, urging
peace in his homeland.
In a video directed at the nation’s youth, Deng says, “Look
around you, and reach out. Make
peace among those who are fighting. Forgive one another and encourage others to forgive. Build
trust with people who fear each
other. You are young, and if you
are wise, you will build bridges
with people your age that will
last a lifetime.”
The video is a small sample of
Deng’s attempts to help others.
The 29-year-old also has estab-
lished The Luol Deng Foundation,
a global nonprofit organization
using basketball as a platform to
bring hope to those less fortunate
in Africa, the United Kingdom
and the United States. His work
in Africa has focused on the construction of outdoor courts and
initiatives to bring together local
communities.
His charity work in the U.S.
has been focused primarily on
his two NBA homes — Chicago
and Cleveland. He has funded
holiday events in the cities,
providing meals and toys to the
needy. He has served as a mentor
to the “Lost Boys of Sudan” and
supported the NBA’s “Basketball
Without Borders” program.
Deng is the third Cleveland
player to win the award, joining
Austin Carr (1979-80) and Eric
Snow (2004-05). He also joins
an illustrious list of past winners, including Dave Bing, Isiah
Thomas, Julius Erving, Magic
Johnson, Dikembe Mutombo,
David Robinson, Kevin Garnett
and Steve Nash.
The award is named after the
league’s second commissioner.
Deng’s journey to pro stardom
is almost unbelievable.
One of nine children, he and
his family left Sudan and lived as
refugees in Egypt before going to
England.
Cavs coach Mike Brown was
fully aware of Deng’s background before the forward came
to Cleveland. Brown was thrilled
that Deng was honored.
“It’s well-deserved,” Brown
said after practice. “From what
he’s come from and his life experience is off the charts. He told
me about it and I was touched.
To see where he is now, and for
him to know my job is not done,
I was one of the fortunate ones.
Because of where I am, I have a
A quiet post-Masters

Spieth ready for more after Masters success
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Get ready,
Augusta National. Jordan Spieth can’t wait for another
chance at that green jacket.
The 20-year-old Spieth is in the field at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links that starts Thursday.
He gave no thought to withdrawing after the grind of
the Masters, instead feeling energized by his runner-up
finish to Bubba Watson.
“It definitely left me hungry and ready to play
golf again,” he said. “And ready to eventually get
back there again, which is, I think, the only way to
kind of redeem myself.”
In the fans’ view during his pro-am round Wednesday,
no redemption was necessary. Spieth was continually
stopped by spectators, players, caddies and others on the
grounds, who patted him on the back or shook his hand.
Spieth’s caddie, Michael Greller, told him, “Man, I’ve
never seen somebody get so many congratulations for
losing.”
“And he’s right,” Spieth said.
Spieth rose to No. 9 in the world this week, the youngest American to make the top 10, and he plans for another big week at Harbour Town. He tied for ninth here
a year ago, his first time playing the treacherously tight
Pete Dye layout. This time, he’s got a bit of job audition,
too, paired the next two days with past and present U.S.
Ryder Cup captains in Davis Love III and Tom Watson.
“A huge goal of mine has always been, my whole life,
to make a Ryder Cup team,” Spieth said. “So playing
with the captain, I’m sure there will be some extra nerves
there trying to impress him.”
Watson’s already impressed. He says Spieth showed
poise and passion in the final pairing Sunday, qualities
the captain covets as he prepares an American team for
the Ryder Cup matches at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland
this September.
“He’s very mature and he has a good sense of who he
is,” Watson said. “I like that about him.”
Bubba Watson is off this week, something every Masters champion has done since Zach

“Well, Jim (Nantz) likes talking,” Faldo said

you have a kid and your kid calls

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —
Bubba Watson decided to
keep his post-Masters victory more low key this year. Instead of going to New York
for a media tour, he headed
home to Orlando, Fla., and
kept plans for a five-day vacation with his wife.
Bubba being Bubba, there
had to be a wrinkle.
Before leaving Tuesday
morning for The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia,
Watson decided to pay an
unannounced visit to the
Golf Channel studio and
wanted to keep it a surprise.
“True Bubba style,” manager Jens Beck said. “He
has a good relationship with
all those guys. But even
when we left his house this
morning, he started to get
into his car. I said, ‘Bubba,
we can’t be taking your
car if we want this to be a
surprise.’ So we all got into
my little rental car so they
wouldn’t spot us when we
pulled up.”
The video shows Watson
winding his way down the
hallway and into the studio.
Beck said Watson’s wife
and the wife of Golf Channel president Mike McCarley are friends, and not even
the top man at the network
was aware of the plans.
Watson also did “CBS
This Morning” via satellite
from his home.
His “media” tour actually began with a selfie. In
a move that was sure to
thrill is Southern fan base,
Watson finished up his obligations Sunday night at
Augusta National and then
tweeted a picture of his

Watson planned to spend
the rest of the week in West
Virginia, and then Beck said
he would try to carve out
time to return to the University of Georgia and to
his home in the Florida Panhandle to let fans in both
spots join the celebration.
He was not sure where
Watson was playing next.
Watson had just become
a father before he won the
Masters in 2012. After
playing in New Orleans,
he skipped the Wells Fargo

he could have a full month

TIGER’S FUTURE: Notah Begay doesn’t expect to
see Tiger Woods at the U.S.
Open. Woods had back surgery a week before the Masters to alleviate a pinched
nerve and has said only he
would be out of golf until
this summer.
Begay is one of Woods’
closest friends, and he told
CBS Radio on Monday
that he was in contact with
Woods during the Masters.
“He missed being at Augusta and certainly was
watching the tournament,”
Begay said. “I think he
needs to give it a minimum
of 90 days to make sure that
scar tissue heals up appropriately and he doesn’t run
the risk of reinjuring it. So
that would push him past
the U.S. Open.”
And that would mean a
new No. 1 in the world golf
ranking.

Vikings praise Zimmer’s passion, intensity
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP)
— The Minnesota Vikings clearly have the energy, excitement
and enthusiasm of a team with a
new coaching staff.
Springtime is when optimism
levels are highest, particularly in
the NFL, and the freshness that
comes from change only heightens this feeling.
The Vikings have begun their
offseason strength and conditioning program, allowing them
extensive interaction with coach
Mike Zimmer and his staff for
the first time.
“My first impressions of everybody have been great,” tight
end Kyle Rudolph said Tuesday.
“From the top down, all the new
football coaches, but also the
new strength coaches as well. It’s
definitely a different system, but
I think the change is good so far.”
The only results that matter
are months away, of course.
For now, though, the Vikings
have been buzzing about the
beginning of Zimmer’s period of
influence. His predecessor, Leslie Frazier, was popular with the
players, too.
The praise for the new boss is
no slight to the old one. But that’s
what happens in this league after
a 5-10-1 finish, two years after a
franchise-worst 3-13 record. The
clean slate can be a major motivator.
“They’re getting their point
across right away with the type
of people they want on this
team, type of people they want
in this building and mentality we
should take while we’re in this
building,” linebacker Chad Gre-
enway said. “I think once you get
the point across early, you set a
foundation for what you want to
create during the season.”
The same type of admiration,
publicly at least, was expressed
for Frazier, and for Brad Childress, and for Mike Tice and so
on before them. Sometimes the
praise can border on platitudes.
Rare is the player who will be
willing to speak out in the NFL
and share concern about a new
regime, given how quickly and
easily many can be replaced.
But Zimmer’s down-to-earth
style has obviously made a
strong impression so far. His intensity and passion have stood
out, in brief get-to-know-you
conversations or more-extended
meetings.
“He loves the game of football.
Guys, that’s the bottom line. He
loves the game. He loves coaching. He loves being around players, and he wants to make each
and every player better,” defensive end Everson Griffen said.
New cornerback Captain Munnerlyn did his research on Zimmer prior to signing with the
Vikings.
“Every player he coached in
the past that I’ve talked to had
great things to say about him,”
Munnerlyn said. “He’s a defensive-minded coach. He’s going
to work you. That’s why I came
here. I want to work. I want to
win.”
Now that the formal workouts
have started at Winter Park,
with minicamps and organized
team activities on the field coming soon, the initiation process
has been ramped up.
One tangible change has been
in the style of strength training, a
shift from machine work back to
more-basic free weights.
The sessions are voluntary,
according to the collective bargaining agreement, but coaches
strongly urge all players to participate. One notable absence so
far has been running back Adrian
Peterson, who has often split his
offseason training time between
Minnesota and his native Texas.
“I thought they came in in
shape. I think guys were excited
about the changes,” strength and
conditioning coach Evan Marcus
said. “When a new staff comes
in there’s always a certain level
of excitement, so they want to
prove themselves.”
Bucks owner Herb Kohl
reaches deal to sell team
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bucks owner Herb Kohl has
reached a deal to sell the franchise to New York investment
firm executives Marc Lasry and Wesley Edens for about
$550 million.
Kohl announced the deal Wednesday at the BMO Harris
Bradley Center hours before the team was to play its final
game of a dismal season. The deal is subject to approval by
the NBA and its Board of Governors.
Kohl is a former U.S. senator who has owned the team
since 1985. Efforts to find new investors ramped up this
year, and made it a priority to find owners or investors who
will keep the franchise in Milwaukee.
It appears the Bucks won’t be going anywhere after Lasry
and Edens committed another $100 million to help build a
new arena. Kohl also announced he would also donate $100
million to help fund a new arena.
“Milwaukee fans deserve a winning team,” Edens said.
Kohl has spoken for years about the need to upgrade or replace the Bradley Center, the team’s downtown home which
opened in 1988.
“We should be shouting from the rooftops because this is
a game-changer for this entire debate,” Milwaukee Mayor
Tom Barrett said.
Edens said he hopes to get a plan for a new arena in a year,
and have it built in a couple years. He said he thought about
$400 million could be a benchmark for building the facility.
With the worst record in the NBA, Milwaukee is in position for a high draft pick.
The Bucks were sold to Kohl for $18 million in 1985. Kohl,
79, is a Milwaukee native whose family owned a chain of
department stores.
Lasry is chairman and chief executive officer of Avenue
Capital Group, while Edens is co-founder and a chairman of
the board at Fortress Investment Group. Both are based in
New York.
In Madison, Gov. Scott Walker said he was pleased with
the deal that will keep the team in Wisconsin, and that he
will work with the new ownership team to see how he can
help the team “flourish in the state.”

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, left, talks with umpires Tim Welke, center, and Tom Hallion about the rain delay of the
Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies game 5 of the World Series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, late Monday, Oct. 27, 2008. Selig suspended the game in the sixth inning due to heavy rain.
Bud Selig calls replay start ‘remarkable’
NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig says the
sport’s new replay system is working well despite a few problems
during its first two weeks.
While baseball began video
review late in the 2008 season,
it was limited to potential home
runs and boundary calls. The new
system that began March 30 vastly expands the types of plays that
managers and umpires can ask to
be reviewed at a replay center in
New York.
Calls by umpires on the field
have been confirmed in 33 of 89
challenges through Monday and
overturned in 30. For 25 others,
calls stood because of a lack of
“clear and convincing” evidence.
In one instance, umpires asked for
a video review to check the ballsstrike count.
Selig called the rollout “remarkable” but wouldn’t say whether
MLB would make any adjustments during this initial season.
“We’ve had really very little controversy overall,” Selig said Tuesday at the MLB Diversity Business
Summit. “Everything in life will
have a little glitch here and there
where you do something new. And
are our guys on top of it? You bet.
But I’m saying to you again, you’ll
hear about the one or two controversies, but look at all the calls that
have been overturned.”
Umpires review challenged
calls in a room filled with computers, screens and technicians at the
offices of Major League Baseball
Advanced Media.
“Technology takes a while to
work,” MLBAM chief executive
officer Bob Bowman said. “I don’t
know if you ever bought a new
car. You don’t know how all that
stuff works right away. And if you
ever get a new phone, it takes you
awhile to learn it. We’re under 30
days old, and I know we’ve arrived
because ESPN is already criticizing us. And it must be great to be
perfect the way ESPN is.”
ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz declined comment.
Boston manager John Farrell
was ejected after a call was overturned during Sunday’s game
against the Yankees, which gave
New York an additional run in a
game it went on to win 3-2. Francisco Cervelli originally was called
out at first for an inning-ending
double play, but he was ruled safe
on the review — allowing Brian
McCann to score from first.
A day earlier, MLB admitted
it incorrectly failed to overturn a
call that was in favor of the Yankees and said it was because the
replay room in New York did not
immediately have access to some
of the camera angles from broadcasts that showed Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts tagged
Dean Anna while the runner’s
right foot briefly came off second
base.
“I don’t expect any system to be
perfect. So it’s no different than
before instant replay,” Yankees
owner Hal Steinbrenner said.
“You’re going to get calls that go
your way, and you’re probably going to get some that don’t. And no
system is perfect, but it’s a vast
improvement over what we had.”
Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts had a more parochial — and
playful — view.
“We’re two and two in challenges, so it’s clear to us the replay
system only works about half the
time,” he said.
Chad Johnson takes steps toward CFL comeback
VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— Chad Johnson made a
sharp cut to free himself
from a defender, and then
hauled in a pass at the 53yard line.
Yes, the 53. Football is
going to be a little different
now for the former NFL star.
The receiver who once
changed his last name to
Ochocinco might be hearing a lot of “O Canada”
this summer, and he insists he’s humbled for that
opportunity. Johnson was
on the field with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL
on Tuesday for the start of
their three-day minicamp,
and there’s a very realistic
chance that he will be with
them when their season
starts for real in June.
“It’s just football. It’s football,” Johnson said. “It’s not
about Montreal. It’s about
the opportunity to be able
to play football again, something I love.”
It’s something he lost two
years ago.
Johnson last appeared
in an NFL game during
the 2011 season with New
England. He was in training camp with the Miami
Dolphins — his hometown
team — the following summer, but his contract was terminated one day after he was
charged with misdemeanor
domestic battery.
A plea deal was eventually worked out, but after a
probation violation Johnson
wound up going to jail for
a few days anyway after a
judge objected to the way he
slapped his attorney on the
backside in celebration.
He hasn’t played since.
“A horrible mistake,”
Johnson said. “A dream of
mine since I was 4 years old
was taken from me, rightfully so, by my wrongdoings
and I just want to get back to
doing something that I love
to do, regardless of where
it is. Montreal, flag football,
back in the street the way I
grew up . I just want to play
football.”
The Alouettes have a history of not judging players
by their checkered pasts, as
evidenced by how they once
gave former Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips
a chance on what became a
Grey Cup-winning team in
Montreal.
“It’s all business,” Alou-
ettes general manager Jim
Popp said. “It’s real. He’s in
great shape. He wants to
play and we’ll see how things
are.”
Popp shrugged off the notion that Johnson’s presence
is a publicity stunt.
“None of you would know
it was here unless it got
tweeted out,” Popp said.
And Twitter does play
quite a role in this story,
since Johnson — one of the
world’s most popular athletes when it comes to social
media — used the power of
his 3.6 million followers to
help get the Alouettes’ attention.
“Power of Twitter,” Johnson said, grinning.
The Alouettes were working out at Dodgertown,
where some schoolkids were
playing baseball on a nearby
field. When their game ended, about a dozen of them
came over to the football
field to chant “Oc-ho-cin-co!”
repeatedly. Some fans wearing his old Cincinnati Bengals jerseys watched, as did a
couple in Patriots colors.
“Like a kid again,” Johnson said.
He showed Tuesday that
he can still run routes, and
right there is why Montreal
is eager to take a closer look.
The CFL game is very
much passing-friendly, and
that can be at least partially
attributed to several rule deviations from the NFL game.
Teams in the CFL have
only three downs to gain 10
yards instead of four. The
field is 10 yards longer from
goal line to goal line, is about
10 yards wider, and the end
zones are 20 yards deep —
twice as long as those used
in high school, college and
pro play in the U.S.
Montreal
quarterback
Troy Smith, the former Ohio
State standout, said most
people don’t realize how
much talent is in the CFL.
And he believes Johnson can
make an impact.
“I know he’s going to bring
some fun and excitement to
the team,” Smith said.
In short, even though
there’s 12 players on the
field per team instead of 11,
there’s plenty of room for offenses to maneuver. And in
Canada, receivers can’t be
blocked or jammed unless
they’re within a yard of the
line of scrimmage.
