She has a computer at home unlike about half her classmates at her elementary school. And it matches up well with the one she’ll use this week to take a new test linked to the Common Core standards. Still, the perky 11-year-old worries. During a recent practice exam at her school in Ohio, she couldn’t even log on. “It wouldn’t let me,” she said. “It kept saying it wasn’t right, and it just kept loading the whole time.” Her state on Tuesday will be the first to administer one of two tests in English language arts and math based on the Common Core standards developed by two separate groups of states. By the end of the school year, about 12 million children in 29 states and the District of Columbia will take them, using computers or electronic tablets. The exams are expected to be more difficult than the traditional spring standardized state exams they replace. In some states, they’ll require hours of additional testing time because students will have to do more than just fill in the bubble. The goal is to test students on criti- cal thinking skills, requiring them to describe their reasoning and solve problems. The tests have multimedia components, written essays and multi-step calculations needed to solve math problems that go beyond just using rote memory. Students in some states will take adaptive versions in which questions get harder or easier depending on their answers. But there’s been controversy. The tests have been caught up in the debate playing out in state legislatures across the country about the federal role in education. Although more than 40 states have adopted Common Core, which spells out what reading and math skills students should master in each grade, several have decided not to offer the tests — known as the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Some states are introducing other new state standardized tests this year. The Common Core tests fulfill the requirement in the federal No Child Left Behind law for annual testing in reading and math in grades three to eight and again in high school. But as Congress seeks to rewrite the education law, there’s debate over whether the tests should be required by Washington, and whether students are being tested too much. Parents in pockets of the country have joined a movement to “opt out” of these standardized tests. Questions also have been raised about students’ keyboarding skills and schools’ computer capacities. In the Appalachian foothills where Kayla attends Morgan South Elementary School, administrators and teachers worry that they don’t have the bandwidth to provide reliable See TESTS | 5 Recent DAR meeting learns about museum Staff report POMEROY — The Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter of DAR met recently at the Meigs County Library. It opened with a business meeting conducted by Regent Opal Gruese. It was announced that the DAR chapter will be celebrating its 107th anniversary Feb. 8, and the National DAR will be celebrating its 125th birthday this year, with a DAR member cruise scheduled from New England to Nova Scotia in Oct. 2015. New clothing is being collected to send to patients in the veterans hospital in Chillicothe, and also to the Indian Schools sponsored by the DAR. Good Citizenship letters of application for a student were sent to area high schools for a student nominee for the award, who was a student from Eastern Local High School. The meeting adjourned and a program was presented by speaker Jack Fowler of Point Pleasant’s River City Museum. The museum is located in the town of Point Pleasant in a building donated in 1991 by the Hartley family. It has been maintained through many grants which have totaled just under a million dollars. Fowler presented a video entitled, “A River called Ohio.” It portrayed many of the historical happenings that have occurred along the mighty Ohio River, telling of the Steamboat Age and some of the steamboats that exploded in that era. One steamboat, “The Virginia,” was known for going aground on a dryer Ohio River in 1910, and wound up in a cornfield in Ravenswood, W.Va., where it spent the summer on dry ground. In the fall a house-moving company was hired to move it, but after much effort was only able to get it to the bank, which was too soft to hold its weight at that time. Then the rains came, the river rose, and it was able to refloat itself. The owners refused to pay the bill, saying the boat had been moved by an “Act of God.” The court disagreed, saying that the house movers had put the boat within “God’s Reach.” The documentary told of the Steamboat races that were held on the river in the 1920s.

Jeb Bush said Wednesday there can be no diplomacy with Islamic State militants, but only a U.S.-led coalition of Middle Eastern countries committed to “tightening the noose and taking them out.” In a wide-ranging speech outlining his vision of America’s place in the world, part of the Republican’s run-up toward a likely campaign for president in 2016, Bush laid the rise of the Islamic State group at the feet of President Barack Obama. He also made his most overt criticisms to date of his brother’s administration, telling the audience of several hundred people, “I am my own man.” “My views are shaped by my own thinking and own experiences,” Bush said at an event hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. “Each president learns from those who came before — their principles, their adjustments.” “There were mistakes made in Iraq, for sure,” during President George W. Bush’s administration, Bush said during a question-and-answer session that followed his 20-minute speech. He said intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was not accurate and the U.S. initially failed to create an environment of security in the country after removing the Iraqi leader from power. But Bush praised his older brother’s decision to “surge” troops into Iraq in 2007, which added roughly 20,000 troops to the American forces in the country in an effort to improve security. He called it “one of the most heroic acts of courage politically” of any president, given the weak support for that strategy in Congress. Bush raised the criticisms of his brother without prompting, and used them was a way to critique Obama’s handling of the Middle East. He said Obama failed to maintain what he called a fragile but stable security situation that his brother left behind in Iraq upon leaving office in 2009. Had he done so, Obama “would not have allowed the void to be filled” by Islamic State militants who now control large parts of Iraq and Syria. He said there can be no discussions with the group, which has drawn condemnation across the region and the world for carrying out regular acts of violence, often on video, that includes beheadings. “We have to develop a strategy that’s local, that takes them out,” Bush said. “There’s no talking about this. That’s just not going to work for terrorism.” Obama hasn’t proposed engaging diplomatically with the Islamic State group, and on Wednesday said those fighting for the group, as well as al-Qaida, are not religious leaders, but terrorists. He has blamed the rise of the Islamic State group on the failings of the Iraqi government, specifically its alienation of minority sects. A few thousand American troops returned to Iraq last year to help fight the Islamic State group, and the U.S. and several Arab partners — including Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia — began airstrikes against IS militants in September. During his speech, Bush offered harsh words for Obama’s foreign policy, calling his administration “inconsistent and indecisive” and saying it has led the U.S. to lose “the trust and the confidence of our friends.” “The great irony of the Obama presidency is this: Someone who came to office promising greater engagement with the world has left America less influential in the world,” Bush said. Bush acknowledged during the speech that his views will often be compared with those of his brother and father, former President George H.W. Bush, adding he is “lucky” to have had family members who have “shaped America’s foreign policy from the Oval Office.” The older Bush brother finished his second term amid an unpopular war in Iraq, with the economy in freefall and with a majority of Americans disapproving of his job performance. Among donors, Jeb Bush has noted a strong family and religious bond with his older brother, but has also said they are not clones and have differences common among siblings. Bush promised a resurgent America if a handful of key changes are made by the next president — including new approaches to education, entitlement programs and the U.S.-based energy economy. Channel 1 via APTN | AP In image made from video shows Russia-backed separatists hoisting their flag over a high-rise building in Debaltseve, eastern Ukraine, on Wednesday. After weeks of relentless fighting, the embattled Ukrainian rail hub of Debaltseve fell to Russia-backed separatists. The Ukrainian president confirmed that he had ordered troops to pull out and the rebels reported taking hundreds of soldiers captive. Embattled Debaltseve falls to rebels By Balint Szlanko and Jim Heintz U.N. peacekeeping mission, a move he previously opposed, apparently fearing they would include troops from Russia or its client states. The new proposal suggests a mission be made up of security forces from European Union countries. Russia, as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has the power to veto any peacekeeping mission. Associated Press journalists were blocked from access to Debaltseve making it impossible to independently assess circumstances there. Russian television ran footage of rebels raising the flag of Novorossiya, as they call their nominal republic, over a building in the town, and images of several dozen captured Ukrainian troops being escorted along a village road by the rebels. In the nearby town of Artemivsk, several dozen weary Ukrainian soldiers arrived on Wednesday morning. One soldier spoke of heavy government losses, while another said they had not been able to get food or water because of the intense rebel shelling. A third spoke of hunkering down in bunkers for hours, unable to even go to the toilet because of the shelling. They smoked cigarettes in the frigid winter air and gratefully accepted plastic cups of tea. “We’re very happy to be here,” the hungry soldier told the AP. “We were praying all the time and already said goodbye to our lives a hundred times.” Some retreating troops said they never received any reinforcements in Debaltseve and had been walking for a whole day.

Earlier, Poroshenko portrayed the troop pullout as taking place “in a planned and organized manner” and characterized their stand in Debaltseve as a success by default because “we managed to show to the whole world the true face of the bandit-separatists backed by Russia.” Separatist officials have insisted the cease-fire agreed to last week by Poroshenko and the leaders of Russia, France and Germany did not apply to Debaltseve. “Debaltseve was under our control, it was never encircled,” Poroshenko asserted. “Our troops and formations have left in an organized and planned manner. “The Ukrainian troops... gave a blow in the teeth to those who were trying to encircle them,” Poroshenko said at a Kiev airport before flying to eastern Ukraine to “shake the hands” of the soldiers leaving Debaltseve. Whether that contention will be widely accepted is uncertain. “Many will be disappointed, especially in the camp of the patriots,” said Kiev-based political analyst Vadim Karasyov. But he said he did not view Poroshenko as being in political danger, because polls show support for him is fairly strong. “The political position of Poroshenko, I don’t think this affects it fundamentally,” he said. Poroshenko faces knotty challenges if the peace process laid down in the Minsk agreement is to go forward. The agreement obliges Ukraine to pass laws granting a yet-undefined degree of autonomy to the separatist regions, including the highly emotional issue of status for the Russian language. �E ditorial 4 Thursday, February 19, 2015 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Hackers target health-care sites Cyber crooks don’t give up easily. Merchants, online gaming sites and the like have stepped up their security efforts following some nasty data breaches in recent years. They had no choice. These were expensive messes:It cost Sony $171 million to clean up after the 2011 hijacking of its PlayStation network and online gaming and music streaming sites. It cost Target $148 million to clean up after the 2013 pilfering of 40 million credit and debit card numbers and 70 million sets of personal information. The price tag is $62 million and rising for last year’s Home Depot hacking that compromised 56 million credit and debit card numbers. Those numbers don’t include the loss of good will and customer trust. Online thieves, always looking for the easiest path to ill-gotten gains, now seem to be focusing on health insurers and providers. Last year, 10 million people were affected by health-care hacking, the highest figure in three years. Last week, Anthem Inc., the second-largest health insurer in the United States, announced that a database containing 80 million sets of names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, email addresses and employment records, had been compromised. The hackers used a sophisticated program designed to elude current anti-virus protection — and Anthem, to its credit, had multiple layers of security in place. The stolen information is potentially much more dangerous than credit card numbers. It could be used for all sorts of nastiness, from individual extortion, to insurance and billing scams, to creating new identities. The worst part is the crooks don’t have to use it immediately, leaving those whose data was compromised squirming in a limbo of fear and worry. Anthem said it closed the security hole as soon as it was revealed and quickly brought the FBI in on the case. An investigation continues, but cyber crooks are hard to catch. Many times they’re on the other side of the globe, plus the really good ones don’t leave many tracks. That means individual companies and providers must carry the load as far as derailing these attacks before any data is breached. Security experts say that will be a challenge, since there are no specific standards that everyone must follow. Much like stock car racing in the old days, it’s “run what you brung” as far as protecting data. That needs to change. There will be screams about the cost. We figure it will be much cheaper than another cleanup. Reprinted from the New Bern (N.C.) Sun Journal. The Daily Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

The impliridiculous. cation is that the president’s lies are forgivable because it is so hard for Vox Obama to exist in a fallen political world. Obama, after all, is a pragmatist who has to deal with the opposition of rank dogmatists. Back in 2009, Axelrod deemed Obama “a committed, practicing nonideologue.” Days prior to his first inaugural, Obama called for “a new Declaration of Independence,” to leave behind “ideology and small thinking.” This from a man who was about to use every ounce of power afforded to him by unified Democratic control of Congress to pass the leftmost legislative agenda feasible. We are supposed to believe that more spending, taxes and regulation is just what common sense dictates — always and forevermore. The nonideologue pose is a longstanding part of progressivism’s intellectual marketing strategy. As Jonah Goldberg writes in his book “The Tyranny of Cliches,” “Pragmatism is the disguise progressive and other ideologues don when they want to demonize competing ideologies.” Vox Obama loves the disguise. He professes his deep-held belief in nothing other than the facts, but he ignores ones that are inconvenient. He advertises his own reasonableness, yet considers the opposition almost by definition illegitimate. He assumes the mantle of pragmatism, although he has fixed philosophical beliefs that won’t give way no matter what. For all his self-styled thoughtfulness, Vox Obama is closed-minded and small. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Thursday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 2015. There are 315 days left in the year. This is the Lunar New Year of the Goat. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 19, 1945, Operation Detachment began during World War II as some 30,000 U.S. Marines began landing on Iwo Jima, where they commenced a successful month-long battle to seize control of the island from Japanese forces. On this date: In 1473, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland. In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1915, during World War I, British and French warships launched their initial attack on Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, a strait in northwestern Turkey. (The Gallipoli Campaign that followed proved disastrous for the Allies.) In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, clearing the way for the U.S. military to relocate and intern JapaneseAmericans during World War II. In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece granting Cyprus its independence. In 1963, “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan was first published by W.W. Norton & Co.

PARCC officials anticipate that about a quarter of students will use the paper version; Smarter Balanced officials estimate roughly 10 to 20 percent will take it on paper. Just eight days before the test, the Morgan Local School District in rural southeastern Ohio ordered 200 more Chromebooks, which worked best during the practice run. The week before the test, Kayla and her classmates huddled in pairs sharing what devices were available at the school. “They’ll be more comfortable with the technology, but it is a worry of mine that, as far as the content that’s on it, there’s still stuff I could be doing to prepare for the test,” says their teacher, Carrie Young. Eleven-year-old Colton Kidd says the screens on the Chromebooks are too small. Classmate Josie Jackson, 12, prefers pencil and paper. But Projects Liam Montgomery likes computerized tests: “It’s easier to get the answers down, because I don’t have to flip back and forth.” In some places, school administrators and state leaders are only grudgingly moving forward. Referencing federal law, Illinois State Board of Education officials threatened to withhold funds from any district that didn’t administer the PARCC exam. Chicago Public Schools officials cited technology concerns in announcing they won’t give the exam in a majority of its schools. helped to complete the project.

Bobby Jindal’s effort to stop the PARCC exam was derailed by a state judge who said the governor’s actions were harmful to parents, teachers Morrow and church member Jim Crace offered prayers of dedication. The flag raised in the ceremony draped the casket of Trevor and Brady’s greatgrandfather, Anthony Cardillo, who served in World War II and the Korean War. Local businesses who provided equipment or materials were Bob’s Market, of Mason; Dettwiller True Value Lumber, of Pomeroy; Forest Run and students. Jindal has said he took the action because he opposes what he views as federal intervention in the adoption of the standards. Officials from the testing groups stand by the tests. In each of the states, students will see something that’s familiar and something that’s “new, different and exciting,” said Tony Alpert, executive director for Smarter Balanced. “Smarter Balanced took the best of what states had in their previous systems and we made sure each state had access to that,” Alpert said.

Members of the Ash Street Church’s Youth Group: Sammi Laura Slover, the chief executive officer of PARCC, said the tests have an important equity component because parents can compare how their students are doing in comparison to students in other states. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said states are going to “figure this out together.” “I think change is hard but anyone who thinks we should just do fill in the bubble tests and not look at critical thinking … I don’t quite understand that,” Duncan said.

WVU athletic department gets probation CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The NCAA placed West Virginia’s athletic department on two years’ probation Wednesday for recruiting violations involving illegal text messages and phone calls in 14 sports. The NCAA said a Division I infractions committee determined that coaches in 14 sports sent impermissible texts and made phone calls to prospects and parents between June 2010 and February 2013. Most of the infractions occurred in women’s gymnastics, football, women’s basketball and women’s soccer. Most of the women’s gymnastics violations were committed by one assistant coach, who was placed under a one-year show-cause penalty, cannot recruit during a 30-day signing period and must attend an NCAA regional rules seminar. The committee determined that infractions in other sports were limited. The NCAA said several coaches involved in the violations believed there was a misunderstanding in some of the recruiting communication rules. “Additionally, the school did not fully understand how to use compliance software it purchased to monitor phone and text activity,” the NCAA said. “It wasn’t until the software company updated the software that the school learned of the violations.” The NCAA said the violations occurred while the school was on two years’ probation from a previous infractions case involving out-of-season coaching and the use of noncoaching staff to work with players. West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons was named last month to succeed Oliver Luck, who left for a position with the NCAA. Lyons said he was aware of the issue when he interviewed for the job. “While I am disappointed with today’s NCAA report, I do take note that our department found the infractions, self-reported them and worked with the NCAA in full cooperation to address and correct the issues,” See PROBATION | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Feb. 19 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Winfield, 7:30 Girls Basketball Meigs vs. Wellston at Athens, 6:15 Gallia Academy vs. Sheridan at Southeastern, 6:15 Eastern vs. Green at Meigs, 8 p.m. Wahama at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Friday, Feb. 20 Boys Basketball Jackson at Gallia Academy, 7:30 Meigs at River Valley, 7:30 Trimble at South Gallia, 7:30 Sherman at Hannan, 7:30 Wahama at Waterford, 7:30 Eastern at Southern, 7:30 Saturday, Feb. 21 Girls Basketball New Hope Christian at OVCS, 3 p.m. Southern vs. Pike Eastern at Meigs, 6:15 Boys Basketball New Hope Christian at OVCS, 4:45 Westfall vs. River Valley at Athens, 6:15 Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports South Gallia senior guard Sara Bailey (20) goes up for a layup between a pair of Symmes Valley defenders during the second quarter of the Lady Rebels’ 43-29 loss to SVHS, Tuesday night at Meigs High School. Lady Rebels ousted by Symmes Valley By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Some people believe the third time is the charm, but the Lady Rebels didn’t find the third all that charming. The South Gallia girls basketball team, which claimed two victories over Symmes Valley in the regular season, came up empty on its first 14 possessions of the third quarter Tuesday night and the Lady Vikings marched to a 43-29 Division IV sectional semifinal victory, at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Meigs County. Symmes Valley (1112) scored the game’s opening bucket, but South Gallia (9-14) marked back-to-back field goals to take a 4-2 lead with 3:30 to play in the first. The Lady Vikings regained the lead with four straight points. SGHS senior Sara Bailey hit a pair of free throws to tie the game at six through eight minutes of play. The Lady Rebels, who hit just 2-of-15 field goal attempts in the opening stanza, scored the first six points of the second canto and led 12-6 with five minutes remaining in the first half. The Lady Vikings answered with a 7-2 run and cut the deficit to 14-13 at halftime. Symmes Valley stormed out of the half, forcing eight turnovers and scoring the first 14 points of the third quarter, 10 of which came from junior Meranda Hayes. Lady Rebels junior Ashley Northup ended the SGHS drought, converting on a two-pointer with 26 seconds left in the period. The Lady Vikings committed six turnovers in the third quarter, but took a 27-16 lead into the finale. A technical foul called against second year South Gallia head coach Corey Small allowed Symmes Valley to push its lead to 31-16 early in the fourth period, but the Lady Rebels scored four of the next six points to trim the deficit to 33-20 with 6:25 left in regulation. The Lady Vikings rattled off eight straight points, and held SGHS scoreless for four and a half minutes, as the lead was increased to 41-20. South Gallia, which forced nine turnovers in the fourth quarter, outscored the Red and Silver 9-to-2 over the final two minutes of play, but the Lady Vikings claimed the 43-29 victory. Junior guard Mikayla Poling led the Lady Rebels with eight points, eight rebounds, five assists and five steals.

The Lady Rebels shot 13-of-49 (26.5 percent) from the field, including 1-of-16 (6.3 percent) from beyond the arc. As a team SGHS hit 2-of-5 (40 percent) free throw attempts, while marking 28 rebounds, seven assists, 16 steals, and 26 turnovers. Hayes led Symmes Valley with 20 points, 18 of which came after halftime, followed by Elly Fulks with seven markers.

(AP) — Carmelo Anthony will have surgery on his left knee that could keep him off the court for four to six months. New York Knicks President Phil Jackson said Wednesday a timetable for Anthony’s recovery couldn’t completely be determined until after the surgery, but early indications were that he could be back on the court this summer and be ready for training camp. Jackson said he anticipated the procedure, which will include a left knee patella tendon debridement and repair, would be performed this week. “It’s obvious that he physically can’t do the things that he’s capable of doing, so this is a necessary step for him to take, I think, in order for him to get to the level that he’s capable of getting to,” coach Derek Fisher said. Anthony has had pain for most of the season but continued to play despite the Knicks’ league-worst 10-43 record. He was able to start in Sunday night in the All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden but appeared to be struggling, scoring 14 points on 6-of-20 shooting. Jackson said he talked to Anthony last month, after he had missed six straight games, about scheduling the surgery — though said the Knicks were comfortable with Anthony taking part in the All-Star Game. “I had a meeting with him when we were in London and we discussed this process of having the surgery sooner than later,” Jackson said, “because we know that the process can take some time for rehab and getting back on the court and we wanted him to be able to make a full recovery and be ready for this coming season.” Anthony did not speak to reporters Wednesday. He finished his 12th NBA season averaging 24.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in 40 games. The two-time Olympian turned 30 in May, two months before signing a five-year, $124 million contract in July, but Jackson said he was confident the former scoring champion would make a full recovery. “We anticipate that as a scorer that’s been prolific in his career, he’ll continue to be so,” Jackson said. Probation From Page 6 Lyons said. “I am confident that the department has taken the neces- sary steps to correct its compliance and recruiting software program, re-educate the staff on updated NCAA changes on the rules surrounding text messages and phone Tony Dejak | AP file Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine said Wednesday he believes quarterback Johnny Manziel, shown here talking to media in December, is in a “better place” since entering a treatment program earlier this month.

Manziel was fined later by AP Sports Writer calls and fulfilled our obligations to the NCAA concerning the situation long before I started as athletic director back on Feb. 2. “Moving forward, I expect our department to continue its strong dedication to NCAA compliance.” In addition to the probation, West Virginia self-imposed penalties adopted by the panel that include a reduction of telephone contacts in the 14 sports for portions of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years, reduced off-campus recruiting in football, women’s soccer, the Browns for missing a medical treatment before the season finale at Baltimore. After apologizing to Cleveland’s fans and his teammates for being a distraction, he promised to change. Over the next couple of days, photos of Manziel appeared on Instagram, showing him in a Houston nightclub and in Aspen, Colorado -- all before choosing to enter treatment. Pettine was sked if the Browns make a mistake in vetting Manziel. “I think we had the same information everyone else in the league had,” he said. “It turns out to be a deeper-rooted thing than we thought.” Pettine said it was Manziel’s decision to seek help and that he and the team fully support the effort. women’s basketball and men’s basketball, and official visit restrictions in women’s soccer. The football team also was stripped of one scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year. Associate athletic director Keli Cunningham said there was no failure to monitor, lack of institutional control or failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance. “There was no systemic effort by any of our coaches to violate the rules or gain a significant recruiting advantage, and that is reflected by the NCAA’s decision,” Cunningham said. “We take this very seriously and we accept the NCAA’s findings.” The probation period runs through Feb. 17, 2017.
