For several years in the early 2000s, the village of Dripsey, County Cork, Ireland, held a parade of less than 300 feet, the route going between the town’s two pubs. Earlier in this decade, International Space Station astronauts gave zero-g performances of classical Irish folk songs as they celebrated in space. Ireland has been linked with the color green for hundreds of years, but the idea to pinch strangers without colored clothing is a much more recent invention, and was most certainly ﬁrst pitched by an intoxicated partier. Some criticize the yearly extravagance creep, like the National Review’s Alex Massie. American celebrations sometimes bear little resemblance to Irish or religious roots, and participants familiarity with those origins may be even less. Over time, there has certainly been waning emphasis on the cultural meaning of the date in favor of the spectacle. In 2014, the nation’s largest Irish Catholic fraternal organization launched antidefamation lobbying towards major retailers, inducing them to pull merchandise that was in somewhat less than good taste. Requests to stop the sale of sloganed shirts such as “I May Not Be Irish, But I Can Drink Like One” met little opposition, and sparked no protests of a “War on St. Patrick’s Day.” See REVELERS | 5 Educator is remembered on her birthday By Mindy Kearns For Ohio Valley Publishing See BIRTHDAY | 5 — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — SPORTS NCAA Brackets: 6-7 Basketball: 8 Schedule: 8 — FEATURES Television: 9 Classified: 10 Comics: 11 IIT T’ S T’S T’ TIM ME E!!!!!

For Bend Area residents, that teacher could very easily be Marilyn Pierce, who has taught at New Haven Elementary School and the former Hartford Elementary School for 40 years. And while the teacher is off this year battling pancreatic cancer, her 64th birthday did not go unnoticed by NHES students on Tuesday. With a New Haven police escort, the 500 students and their teachers walked to Pierce’s home and sang “Happy Birthday,” while presenting her with a huge box of handmade cards. Also on hand for the celebration were Mason County Superintendent of Schools Jack Cullen, Board of Education President Greg Fowler, and NHES Assistant Principal Kim Burris. Principal Stacy Bissell was unable to attend due to a previously scheduled meeting. “It was amazing,” Pierce said of the surprise visit. “It makes you realize that everything you do has good beneﬁts, especially in this job.” Pierce was diagnosed with cancer in March 2015. She has six tumors in her pancreas that are too close to the main blood supply to be removed. She has undergone intensive radiation and rounds of chemo, and said the tumors have not grown or moved in the past year. “The tumors are shrinking very slowly with the chemo,” Pierce stated. “I did have to have a stent �LOCAL 2 Thursday, March 17, 2016 Daily Sentinel Group discusses ‘Fruit to Go Around’ OBITUARY SHARON L.

A primary charter of the National Academy of Public Accounting Professionals is to recognize and distinguish the Top 10 public accounting professionals in each state. The accountants Wilson who make the NAPAP “Top 10” list demonstrate an extensive amount of knowledge, skill, experience and success in the ﬁeld of accounting. To achieve this award, the accountants must ﬁrst be nominated by industry peers or satisﬁed clients. The nominees are reviewed by the NAPAP research committee, which evaluates each nominee’s cre- dentials against the award criteria, and compiles a list of ﬁnalists from which the NAPAP Board of Governors selects the top 10. Selection criteria include education, years of experience, areas of expertise, certiﬁcations, publications, awards, leadership and client satisfaction. Wilson, a 2000 graduate of Point Pleasant High School and member of Lifespring Church in Point Pleasant, W.Va., is a member at Hess, Stewart & Campbell, where he has been employed since 2007. He is a part of the ﬁrm’s taxation, valu- ation and forensic accounting divisions. He has extensive experience with tax research, business valuation, mergers and acquisitions, and other consulting engagements involving forensic accounting and litigation support. Wilson attended Marshall University as a John Marshall Scholar and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting), a Master of Business Administration, and a Master of Science in Human Resource Management. His credentials include certiﬁed public accountant, certiﬁed in ﬁnancial forensics, accredited in business valuation, and certiﬁed valuation analyst. He is a member of the American Institute of Certiﬁed Public Accountants (including the forensic and valuation services section), the West Virginia Society of Certiﬁed Public Accountants, and the National Association of Certiﬁed Valuation Analysts. Wilson also serves as a member of the Marshall University Division of Accountancy and Legal Environment advisory board and has been an adjunct professor of accounting and taxation for the division. Wilson is the son of John and Kathy Wilson, also of Point Pleasant. Univ. Chairman steps down after comments By David Dishneau Associated Press The chairman of Mount St. Mary’s University has resigned and the Board of Trustees has elected its ﬁrst female leader following a furor over the former president’s comments likening struggling freshmen at the Maryland Catholic college to bunnies that should be drowned, the school announced Tuesday. John E. Coyne III said in a statement that he stepped down as chairman and board member seven months before the expiration of his term to ensure a seamless process for choosing an interim president by the start of next school year. Coyne is vice chairman of Brinker Capital, an investment management ﬁrm in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Newly elected Chairwoman Mary Kane, a 1984 graduate of the university and former executive director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement that she is looking forward to working with the school’s community “to bring us back together to focus on the Mount’s strong mission.” In a telephone interview, Kane, president and CEO of Washington-based Sister Cities International, said the school will continue implementing certain changes former president Simon Newman initiated to strengthen its ﬁnances and enhance its appeal in the education marketplace. But Kane said the board won’t implement Newman’s divisive student-retention plan, which critics said seemed focused on weeding out, rather than helping, struggling students. The student newspaper, The Mountain Echo, reported in January that Newman had told a faculty member opposed to the plan: “This is hard for you because you think of the students as cuddly bunnies, but you can’t. You just have to drown the bunnies ... put a Glock to their heads.” Newman later acknowledged he used those words and apologized for them. Coyne called the comment an “unfortunate metaphor” and defended Newman until shortly before Newman resigned Feb. 29. A board investigation of those believed to have helped the student journalists led to the ﬁring and subsequent reinstatement of two faculty members and demotion of the school’s provost.

An expert on the migration crisis based in Athens, Apostolis Fotiadis, said German Chancellor Angela Merkel and others seeking an EU-Turkey agreement must “convince too many people.” He said Cyprus would likely drop its veto if Turkey granted it diplomatic recognition, a commitment refused despite Cyprus’ international recognition and 2004 admission to the EU. Turkey maintains 35,000 troops in the north, with the island’s capital divided down the middle. Fotiadis said more hurdles lurked in other European capitals, with EU heavyweight France concerned about granting Turks freer travel in Europe and many expressing doubts that some proposals were even legal.

Davutoglu says a proposed deal with the European Union has a “humanitarian dimension” that aims to curb, and eventually prevent, the loss of more lives in the Aegean Sea. Speaking after a meeting with Tusk on Tuesday, Davutoglu the deal would also prevent Turkey from becoming a transit country for irregular migration. Europe-bound asylum seekers, and to create a supposed “safe zone” within Syria that would allow Turkey to refuse entry to refugees — were all “legally, morally and politically wrong.” He said if government sanctioned those moves, it “would signal a stark repudiation of international law and the very values on which the European Union was founded.” Those currently stranded in Greece express worries that any new EU-Turkey agreement would render their expen- sive, grueling efforts to reach Western Europe futile. More than 8,500 newcomers sailed last week from Turkey to nearby Greek islands despite the Balkan gridlock. Some 1,500 people stranded in northern Greece staged a dramatic effort Monday to breach border security and reach Macedonia. They carried children and belongings as they waded across a river to seek a break in the fence along the rugged 235-kilometer (145mile) frontier. �E ditorial 4 Thursday, March 17, 2016 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Closing corporate tax loopholes Everyone knows that before you leave a restaurant you have to settle your bill — corporations shouldn’t get to play by different rules. But that’s exactly what is happening for too many American companies. There is perhaps no area of the tax code that is as broken as our international corporate tax system. American corporations are keeping record amounts of proﬁts offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Right now, loopholes allow these companies to use legal schemes to move proﬁts they earned in the U.S. out of the country and into tax havens with low or no corporate Sherrod tax rate – places like the Cayman Brown Islands, the Bahamas, and the Isle Contributing of Mann. And our tax system allows Columnist corporations to defer paying taxes on these foreign proﬁts until they decide to bring those proﬁts back to the U.S. Now companies are trying to take advantage of yet another loophole to get that cash back into the country and into the hands of their CEOs and investors without paying the U.S. taxes they owe. They do this by merging with smaller overseas companies and pretending – for tax purposes – that their new corporate headquarters is now located abroad. When companies do this it’s called an “inversion.” It’s a scam, and it has to stop. That’s why I’m introducing new legislation to make sure corporations are playing by the same rules as everyone else, called “Pay What You Owe Before You Go.” This measure will require corporations to pay their full U.S. tax bill before they leave the country, preventing them from sticking the rest of us with their tab. This rule will ensure that corporations can’t dodge their tax bills, and will also make offshore tax havens less appealing – that means less money tied up overseas, and more money circulating in the American economy. Take the pharmaceutical giant, Pﬁzer, as an example. Pﬁzer currently has $193 billion in untaxed proﬁts stashed overseas. But by using this “inversion” loophole, Pﬁzer will get away with paying $0 in U.S. taxes on that $193 billion. Under my bill, Pﬁzer would owe as much as $68 billion in taxes – the same amount they would pay if they simply brought the money back home to be invested in the U.S. economy and remained a loyal American company. People on both sides of the aisle acknowledge that our international corporate tax system is broken. The long-term solution is bipartisan international corporate tax reform. But until we get there, this is a commonsense step that will increase investment here at home, and ensure a level playing ﬁeld for all American companies. U.S. Sen.

But to spend money you don’t have and time that could be better used in some other way has always been a foreign concept to me. Over the last decade, between work, maintaining my home and caring for my parents, I’ve rarely had a day off anyway. But, when I do, there is plenty to ﬁll my time without my having to invent something. When I do choose to relax, I’d prefer it had something to do with a nice hotel, music, a book and a long car drive. And I make choices that I can afford, not overload credit cards while my bills lay unpaid. That’s just ridiculous. The point is that, while I have little interest in the usual vacation options, I do understand the need to relax. You should do whatever helps you unwind, but be mindful of how much stress the activity adds to your daily life and how much money you have to spend on it. Taking a break doesn’t mean you have to empty your wallet. Consider something that actually allows you to rest, rather than waste energy and money doing the same thing every year. Whatever you choose, remember the point is to spend time with family and away from the daily grind. Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 17, 1966, a U.S. Navy midget submarine located a missing hydrogen bomb which had fallen from a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber into the Mediterranean off Spain. (It took several more weeks to actually recover the bomb.) On this date: In 1776, the Revolutionary War Siege of Boston ended as British forces evacuated the city. In 1861, Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed the ﬁrst king of a united Italy. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt ﬁrst likened crusading journalists to a man with “the muckrake in his hand” in a speech to the Gridiron Club in Washington. In 1912, the Camp Fire Girls organization was incorporated in Washington, D.C., two years to the day after it was founded in Thetford, Vermont. (The group is now known as Camp Fire USA.) In 1936, Pittsburgh’s Great St. Patrick’s Day Flood began as the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, swollen by rain and melted snow, started exceeding ﬂood stage; the high water was blamed for more than 60 deaths. In 1941, the National Gallery of Art opened in Washington, D.C. In 1956, comedian Fred Allen, 61, died in New York. In 1969, Golda Meir became prime minister of Israel. In 1970, the United States cast its ﬁrst veto in the U.N. Security Council. (The U.S. killed a resolution that would have condemned Britain for failure to use force to overthrow the white-ruled government of Rhodesia.)

Inquiring minds probably seek out more information on Irish culture and history with the holiday’s impetus. As for the market impact, not every event must match the agreeable excessiveness in major cities. Pomeroy Village may not dye the Ohio River green, but local businesses are prepared for an uptick in activity. “We will have as much green in here as we can, except maybe not the food,” said Sonny Gloechner. Gloechner is the owner of Sonny’s Bar and Grill in Pomeroy, and said he plans to offer specials on Irish whiskeys and liquors, and will “absolutely” have green beer, a popular modern tradition. “Thursday’s are typically good business anyways,” he said, “so between the Holiday and DJ appearances on Friday and Saturday, I expect a fair amount of trafﬁc to continue over the weekend.” Retailers intend to participate thematically as well, and Clark’s Jewerly Store will offer a discount on any green stone. Consider stopping into Front Paige’s if you lack appropriately green attire, unless you are prepared to be pinched the remainder of the night. Other shops in Pomeroy will offer banners and decorative merchandise, enticing everyone to be just a bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. As Pomeroy merchant Susan Clark said, “I just love seeing all the brightness and green. I can’t wait.” Photos courtesy of Mindy Kearns New Haven Elementary preschool teacher Courtney Smith is pictured as she places a birthday hat on Marilyn Pierce. More than 500 New Haven Elementary students and teachers received a police escort to Pierce’s home on Tuesday to wish her a happy birthday.

See SQUAD | 12 NFL admits link to football, CTE NEW YORK (AP) — On the contentious issue of concussions, the NFL has relented on a once-steadfast stance. Yes, the league acknowledged publicly for the ﬁrst time, there is a connection between football and the devastating brain disease known as CTE. The NFL backed Tuesday the comments made at a congressional panel by Jeff Miller, the league’s senior vice president for health and safety, that his surprising words “accurately reﬂect the view of the NFL,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. The league has long denied proof linking the sport and the condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy. As recently as the week of the Super Bowl, Dr. Mitch Berger, a member of the league’s head, neck and spine committee, refused to draw a direct line from football to CTE. So that’s what made Miller’s admission, at a round-table discussion about concussions, somewhat startling. He said brain research on former NFL players “certainly” shows a link between football and CTE when asked about the subject. Miller referenced the work of Boston University neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee, who has found CTE in the brains of 90 of the 94 former pro football players she studied after their death. “The answer to that question is certainly yes, but there are also a number of questions that come with that,” Miller said, deferring to physicians on the science of the subject of CTE evidence. CTE is tied to repeated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia. Players diagnosed after their deaths include Hall of Famers Junior Seau, Ken Stabler and Mike Webster. Four Democratic members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter Tuesday to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, asking for answers by March 29 on the league’s plans to protect both NFL players and those at the youth levels. Critics of the NFL’s proposed $1 billion plan to settle concussion claims called Miller’s sudden acknowledgement of a football-CTE connection a game See NFL | 12 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern junior Jett Facemyer (10) releases a shot attempt over a Belpre defender during a December 8, 2015, TVC Hocking boys basketball contest in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. 8 boys named to All-TVC Hocking team By Bryan Walters in the Tri-Valley Conference.

How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!

The settlement is being appealed by players concerned that it excludes future cases of CTE, what they consider “the signature disease of football.” The deal announced by lead plaintiffs’ lawyers and the NFL in August 2013 would instead pay up to $4 million for prior deaths involving CTE. “Given that, the settlement’s failure to compensate present and future CTE is inexcusable,” lawyer Steven Molo wrote Tuesday in a letter to the federal appeals court in Philadelphia that is hearing his appeal. Miller’s admission might not have any tangible effect on the case, though, given the timing. The appellate reviews are typically only focused on the court records. “I think it’s an uphill battle to have this even debated by the appellate judges, but it does give a glimmer of hope for the objectors,” said Andrew Brandt, an ESPN analyst specializing in the business of the league. The court heard arguments in November on the fairness of the settle- 4 seed Ole Miss 69, in 1998: Scott Drew was an assistant coach for his father, Homer, and his younger brother, Bryce, hit the buzzerbeating 3-pointer after a full-court play in 2.5 seconds to give the MidContinent Conference champion Crusaders a victory over the SEC West champion Rebels.

While 2002 was the ﬁrst time three No. 12s won in the same NCAA Tournament, Creighton stood out because of Terrell Taylor’s 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left in the second overtime. For the record, here are how seeds have fared since 1985 in the round of 64, according to STATS LLC: 1 vs. 16 — 124-0 2 vs. 15 — 117-7 3 vs. 14 — 104-20 4 vs. 13 — 99-25 5 vs. 12 — 80-44 6 vs. 11 — 81-43 7 vs. 10 — 76-48 8 vs. 9 — 63-61 ment and was expected to issue an opinion in the high-stakes case soon. The NFL and lead plaintiffs’ lawyers have said they do not want to incentivize suicide by offering future payments. CTE cannot yet be diagnosed in the living. The settlement would resolve thousands of lawsuits and cover more than 20,000 NFL retirees for the next 65 years. The league estimates that 6,000 former players (nearly three in 10) could develop Alzheimer’s disease or moderate dementia. They would receive an average of $190,000, 2016 CutestContest Pet These pets are so doggone cute, we need everyone’s help picking a winner! though the awards could reach several million dollars in the most serious cases, including young men with Parkinson’s disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease. “We welcome the NFL’s acknowledgement of what was alleged in our complaint: that reports have associated football with ﬁndings of CTE in deceased former players,” lead plaintiffs’ lawyer Christopher Seeger said in a statement. “The settlement achieves that, providing immediate care to the sickest retired players and long-term security over the next 65 years for those who are healthy now but develop a qualifying condition in the future.” Chris Nowinski, a former professional wrestler who runs the Concussion Legacy Foundation, noted that millions of children still play tackle football despite the suspected risks. The founda- Browns sign linebacker Davis CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns have ﬁnally jumped into the free agency pool with both cleats. After letting four starters leave and sign with new teams last week, Cleveland added its ﬁrst notable player of the offseason by signing inside linebacker Demario Davis to a two-year contract. Davis made 51 starts over the past four seasons with the New York Jets, who selected him in the third round in 2012. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound Davis will likely start for the Browns alongside veteran Karlos Dansby. Chris Kirksey, too, gives the Browns depth in their inside linebacker core. Cleveland also signed linebacker Justin Tuggle last week. Davis visited the Browns on Tuesday. They’re hoping he can help ﬁx one of the NFL’s worst rushing defenses. “It seems like they’re ready to take this organization in the right direction. I felt nothing but positive vibes from (executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown) all the way down to the defensive coordinator and the head coach,” Davis said. “I just felt like this was the best ﬁt for me and my family.” Davis started every game the past three seasons for the Jets, but he shared playing time last season when he ﬁnished with 90 tackles and two sacks. He recorded more than 100 tackles in 2013 and 2014. The Browns are likely to lose linebacker Craig Robertson, who is also one of their best special teams players, and Davis can help ﬁll that void. tion seeks to study and prevent head trauma in athletes. “If we actually believe that football is linked to CTE now, then how is the NFL underwriting (youth) tackle football when kids could just as easily play ﬂag and not be exposed to the risk of CTE at such a young age?” he asked. The impact of the admission on college football is unclear, but a lead attorney in a lawsuit against the NCAA said he also saw this development as a milestone in the process. “It is amazing to think back to 2011, when we ﬁled the ﬁrst-ever class action against the NCAA for concussions, and compare the national conversation at that time to what we have now,” Chicago-based lawyer Joseph Siprut said. The admission by Miller could make an impact beyond the gridiron, too. Plaintiffs in a similar case of retired players suing the NHL for concussion-related damages called on that league Tuesday to acknowledge as much. Commissioner Gary Bettman said last year “from a medical and science standpoint, there is no evidence” of a connection between head injuries and CTE. The NHL didn’t respond Tuesday to a request for new comment. “While the NFL, after intense public pressure, has ﬁnally admitted publicly that there is ‘certainly’ a link, the NHL, to this day, continues to deny that there is any long-term danger associated with suffering repeated concussions and sub-concussive blows, even in the face of compelling medical evidence,” the co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs said in a statement.
