The decision — which can be appealed — found in favor of the plaintiff, Banks Construction Company. A complaint was filed in December 2012 by Banks Construction Company against Village of Pomeroy, Pomeroy Village Council, Mark Porter and Porter Brothers, LLC. The filing alleged that the village and Porter did not follow protocol with regard to the sale of the old Pomeroy High School building. Judge Ward, sitting by assignment in the case, found that to be the case. The decision reads in part, The Court grants the plaintiff’s motion and finds that the plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law in its favor and against the defendants. The decision states, the plaintiff (Banks Construction) has standing in the case and that the defendants have not produced credible evidence they publicly or privately rejected bids submitted on Nov. 9, 2012. It further states that Banks Construction does not have to prove that it is the highest bidder. It states that council cannot arbitrarily reject bids; furthermore, it must give a good faith, meritorious reason for doing so. The court decision states that the bids had not been returned to the bidders, and no correspondence from the solicitor or other village official took place on the matter. Also, stated, the defendants could not produce a letter or note which was File photo The old Pomeroy High School building seen here in a file photo to have been sent to the bidders. will be back in the hands of the village following a decision hand- See PHS | 3 ed down last week.

Middleport applies for ODNR trail grant funding Submitted photo Becky Cotterill helps to pack items to be sent home with students on Friday as part of the Eagle Pack program. Eagles Pack program distributes first packs By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS — Some students at Eastern elementary and middle school took home something extra in the back packs this weekend. Counselors at the school distributed approximately three dozen “packs” to students as part of the Eagle Pack program. This was the first distributions made as part of the program. Counselor Sara Will said the numbers may have been higher, but with school having not been in session this week many of the application forms had not been returned yet. The program had received more than 60 letters of interest for students in the district, with applications returned by approximately 36 students to date. Included in the packs are two breakfast items, one microwave meal, two pudding cups, one sleeve of crackers, two macaroni and cheese cups, one peanut butter, two juices, one fruit cup and one apple sauce.

By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A step toward securing the village’s 20 percent portion of funding required before construction can begin on the 1.6 mile multipurpose trail along the river was taken by Middleport Village Council at Monday night’s meeting. Council by unanimous vote authorized Mayor Michael Gerlach to proceed with applications for two grants from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to pay the 20 percent, the required amount to be provided by the village before the project can move forward. The village has been awarded a $1,965,932 grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation which covers 80- percent of the $2,457,416 construction phase of the project. Earlier the village received grants that covered 100 percent of the cost of the engineering and design work on the project. All of that has been completed. The village will be asking in the grant application, which has to be submitted not later than Friday, for $150,000 from the ODNR. The goal, according to the mayor, has always been to have the trail built at no cost to the village. The trail to be built to accommodate both those walking and riding bicycles will extend from up near the bridge down to Custer Street. Tim and Edie King who attended the meeting stressed the importance of the trail construction to the village, suggesting that it will not only serve as a safe area for walking and biking, but will be an attraction which will draw outdoor enthusiasts into the village. During the meeting authorization was given to Chief of Police Bruce Swift to proceed with replacing tires on two police vehicles. Faymon Roberts, village administrator, reported that in the process of repairing two fire hydrants, one of which was leaking and the other which had See TRAIL | 3 Proposed parking fee ordinance amended By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A proposed change to the ordinance which covers fees and fines for the village has been amended by Pomeroy Village Council.

States consider reviving old-fashioned executions ST. LOUIS (AP) — With lethal-injection drugs in short supply and new questions looming about their effectiveness, lawmakers in some death penalty states are considering bringing back relics of a more gruesome past: firing squads, electrocutions and gas chambers. Most states abandoned those execution methods more than a generation ago in a bid to make capital punishment more palatable to the public and to a judicial system worried about inflicting cruel and unusual punishments that violate the Constitution. But to some elected officials, the drug shortages and recent legal challenges are beginning to make lethal injection seem too vulnerable to complications. “This isn’t an attempt to time-warp back into the 1850s or the wild, wild West or anything like that,” said Missouri state Rep. Rick Brattin, who this month proposed making firing squads an option for executions. “It’s just that I foresee a problem, and I’m trying to come up with a solution that will be the most humane yet most economical for our state.” Brattin, a Republican, said questions about the injection drugs are sure to end up in court, delaying executions and forcing states to examine alternatives. It’s not fair, he said, for relatives of murder victims to wait years, even decades, to see justice served while lawmakers and judges debate execution methods. Like Brattin, a Wyoming lawmaker this month offered a bill allowing the firing squad. Missouri’s attorney general and a state lawmaker have raised the notion of rebuilding the state’s gas chamber. And a Virginia lawmaker wants to make electrocution an option if lethal-injection drugs aren’t available. If adopted, those measures could return states to the more harrowing imagery of previous decades, when inmates were hanged, electrocuted or shot to death by marksmen. States began moving to lethal injection in the 1980s in the belief that powerful sedatives and heart-stopping drugs would replace the violent spectacles with a more clinical affair while limiting, if not eliminating, an inmate’s pain. The total number of U.S. executions has declined in recent years — from a peak of 98 in 1999 to 39 last year. Some states have turned away from the death penalty entirely. Many have cases tied up in court. And those that carry on with executions find them increasingly difficult to conduct because of the scarcity of drugs and doubts about how well they work. In recent years, European drug makers have stopped selling the lethal chemicals to prisons because they do not want their products used to kill. At least two recent executions are also raising concerns about the drugs’ effectiveness. Last week, Ohio inmate Dennis McGuire took 26 minutes to die by injection, gasping repeatedly as he lay on a gurney with his mouth opening and closing. And on Jan. 9, Oklahoma inmate Michael Lee Wilson’s final words were, “I feel my whole body burning.” Missouri threw out its three-drug lethal injection procedure after it could no longer obtain the drugs. State officials altered the method in 2012 to use propofol, which was found in the system of pop star Michael Jackson after he died of an overdose in 2009. The anti-death penalty European Union threatened to impose export limits on propofol if it were used in an execution, jeopardizing the supply of a common anesthetic needed by hospitals across the nation. In October, Gov. Jay Nixon stayed the execution of serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin and ordered the Missouri Department of Corrections to find a new drug. Days later, the state announced it had switched to a form of pentobarbital made by a compounding pharmacy. Like other states, Missouri has refused to divulge where the drug comes from or who makes it. Missouri has carried out two executions using pentobarbital — Franklin in November and Allen Nicklasson in December. Neither inmate showed outward signs of suffering, but the secrecy of the process resulted in a lawsuit and a legislative inquiry. Michael Campbell, assistant professor of criminal justice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said some lawmakers simply don’t believe convicted murderers deserve any mercy. “Many of these politicians are trying to tap into a more populist theme that those who do terrible things deserve to have terrible things happen to them,” Campbell said. Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C., cautioned that there could be a backlash. “These ideas would jeopardize the death penalty because, I think, the public reaction would be revulsion, at least from many quarters,” Dieter said.

PHS From Page 1 The bids have also not been located and submitted to the court. The court decision states that Banks Construction had placed a bid of $25,560 to buy the real estate. The decision makes Emergency Ordinance 758, approved in Feb. 2012, no longer in effect. The ordinance had formally accepted the bid by Porter for the building. The court found that council rescinded the ordinance by not accepting the payment from Porter within the time required by the bid notice. The court also found that there were no genuine issues of material fact. The court also found Porter had breached the bid requirements and had rescinded his Dec. 7, 2011, bid to purchase; that the village had accepted his breach and rescission; and that the November 2012 conveyance of the real estate to Porter Brothers was an unbid transfer of property from the village. In making the decision, the court vacates the transfer of real estate from the Village of Pomeroy to Porter Brothers LLC. The Village shall return the $20,250.00 to the grantee with interest at the legal rate from the date of the filing of the deed to the date when this entry is filed in the Office of the Meigs County Recorder. The real estate shall then be in the name of the Village of Pomeroy. The court found that the defendants (Pomeroy Village, Council and Mark Porter Chevrolet) in the case were not entitled to judgment and denied their motions. In denying the motions, the court stated that all three had failed to present evidence that Porter did not breach and rescind his bid and that council did not accept Porter’s bid breach and rescission. The complaint details the alleged issues brought up by the sale of the school to Porter. According to the complaint, Pomeroy Village Ordinance 751 gave the village the right to reject any and all bids submitted as a result of the call for bids due on Dec. 4, 2011. It further stated that 10 percent of the accepted bid was due within seven days of the bid opening, and the balance was due within 30 days. The complaint also alleged that Porter submitted a bid, however no contract was entered into between the village and Porter or, alternatively, any contract by and between the village and Porter was subsequently revoked or terminated. It also states that Porter did not pay the 10 percent within seven days and did not pay the balance within 30 days. Porter’s exchanges with council at the Oct. 8, 2012 ,meeting are also detailed in the complaint. At the meeting, Porter was advised that if he was interested in the building, he would have to rebid. In the next meeting, council passed a motion to deliver a letter to Porter clarifying his bid. As stated in the complaint, the letter read (in part): Your bid of $20,250 was the low [sic] bid, and thus you were awarded the right to purchase the property for that amount. Shortly thereafter you indicated you wished to withdraw your bid and not purchase the property. Relying upon this assertion, the Village moved ahead to solicit bids again for the sale of the old Pomeroy High School. Recently, however, you indicated that you never withdrew your bid and wished to go ahead and purchase the old Pomeroy High School. Therefore, in order to dispel any confusion regarding the status of your bid, the Village of Pomeroy is willing to allow you to follow through on your initial bid and purchase the property at this time pursuant to that bid of $20,250. The complaint also stated that council refused to consider any bids submitted pursuant to the advertisement published on Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31 of this year. On Nov. 12, then Pomeroy Mayor Mary McAngus told council the building had officially been transferred to Mark Porter in accordance with the bid he placed nearly a year ago, which was formally accepted in February of 2012. McAngus stated that the deed had been transferred to Porter and that the sale had been paid in full. The complaint states that the deed was recorded with the Meigs County Recorder transferring the Old Pomeroy High School property from the Village to Porter on or about Nov. 14, 2012. The announcement by McAngus came on a night when bids from the most recent sale advertisement were to be opened by members of council. According to a legal notice printed in The Daily Sentinel on multiple days in October, bids for the property were to be submitted by Nov. 9, 2012 to the village. McAngus said that four bids — including one from Banks — had been received by council and would be returned unopened along with a letter stating the reasoning. McAngus stated that Village Solicitor Mick Barr would help with sending out the letter. The plaintiff had asked that the Village of Pomeroy and Village Council proceed to open the bids which were submitted in accord with the legal advertisements in October 2012. The complaint also asked that the village and council proceed according to the law with regard to the bids submitted. Those bids have not been located. Porter had submitted the only bid in December 2011 on the property which is adjacent to his auto dealership. The bid of $20,250 was much less than the asking price of $60,000. At the time, it was estimated that it would cost $40,000 to demolish the structure. The village had advertised the property for sale twice in 2011, with Porter’s bid coming from the second advertisement. There were no bids the first time. While council accepted the bid at the December 12, 2011, meeting, an ordinance approving the sale was not passed until Feb. 13, 2012. Ordinance 758, an emergency ordinance, accepted the bid by Mark Porter Chevrolet and approved the mayor to sign the deed for transfer of the sale. During the April 9, 2012, meeting of Pomeroy Village Council, McAngus signed the deed allowing for the transfer to take place. At the time it was estimated that the closing would take place later that week or early the following week. The sale of the building was not discussed with council again until June 25, 2012, when McAngus told council that the dealership did not go through with the purchase of the property. No action was taken at that time regarding the property. Three months later, in late September, council approved to advertise the building for purchase for a third time. Porter spoke with council during the first meeting in October, stating that he would go ahead and purchase the building if council had the proper title/deed. On more than one occasion during the meeting, Porter noted that there was an issue with the title/deed. Porter said that he never received the deed to the property and stated that Village Solicitor Mick Barr had spent several months doing research to locate the deed. Council member Phil Ohlinger said this was the first he had hear of any issue with the deed. At that time, Porter was told that he could not buy the property since it was being rebid. The building — which was built in 1914 — was home to the Pomeroy High School Panthers until the school consolidated into the Meigs Local School District 40 years ago. Following the consolidation, the building became the Pomeroy Municipal Building, housing the water office, police department and other administrative offices. The building has remained vacant since the village moved operations in December 2009 to the former Millennium building. The property, according to discussion at previous council meetings, was transferred from Meigs Local School District to the Village of Pomeroy in 2011. Program From Page 1 The program is aimed at sending food items home with children who may not have enough to eat on the weekends when they are not in school. The goal is to send nutritious and easy to prepare items home with students in need one time each month, possibly toward the middle to end of the month. Applications have been sent home with interested students, asking about interest in the program and any food allergies in the home. Will said only one person, so far, has had an allergy which required some modification to the pack sent home. In addition, food can be provided on an emergency basis as determined by the school. This would include helping families who may not receive items through the program on a regular basis. While the program has launched, they are still looking to collect specific food items as to keep the packs sent home with each student identical. Items needed include juice boxes, fruit cups, peanut butter, snack crackers, individual cereal packs and bars, easy mac cups, microwavable pastas, pudding, and crackers. Will noted that donations have come in from several sources including the county, local churches and organizations and individuals. The Eagle Pack program also received a boost by winning the Farmers Bank Take Action video contest. First place in the contest was a donation of $1,000. “I am so thankful to Farmer’s Bank for this amazing opportunity. I am also thankful to all the staff, students, parents, and community members who got online and voted. We couldn’t have won this without the tremendous effort everyone made,” Will added. The money received from the bank will purchase items needed for around 100 packs. Anyone wishing to donate or who would like more information can contact the Eagle Pack Program at (740) 985-3304 or by email at eaglepackprogram@easternlocal.net. Donations can also be mailed to Eastern Elementary, Attn: Eagle Pack Program, 38850 State Route 7, Reedsville, Ohio Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel 45772. If sending a check please note in Items in the pack include two breakfast, two lunch and two dinner items. Packs are to be distributed one weekend per month to students. the memo space “Eagle Pack Program.” Trail From Page 1 been installed with “watch valves” it was discovered that the Middleport water system has a six inch water main under one occupied house and one business. He suggested that should the water main break under one of the structures, the results could be catastrophic to life and property. He recommended that Council solicit quotes to get the problem corrected immediately. The location is off Broadway on Logan and Page Streets. At the last meeting Fred Hoffman had submitted an application requesting to be hired as a grants writer for the village. Councilman Roger Manley proposed at the Monday night meeting that the position be created for him, and that he be employed for 20 hours a week at $15 an hour for an annual salary of $15,600 . Susan Baker, fiscal officer, said that establishing a new village position would require an ordinance to be passed by Council. That would then be followed by advertising the position before any hiring could take place. Currently all grants for major improvements in the village, like the new sewer system which was paid for completely with grant money, have been written by Mayor Gerlach, and other grants for projects have been handled by the supervisor in charge of the specific area for which the grant money would be used. It was pointed out that since the mayor and the supervising personnel are salaried, there are no additional charges for any work they do including writing grants. The mayor commented that numerous large and small grants have been received by the village without assistance from a grants writer. However, at the request of Manley, an ordinance for review by Council may be presented by the financial officer,at the next meeting. Councilman Doug Dixon then made a motion to allow customers access to water meters. Currently Parking From Page 1 Tickets would continue to double after 72 hours. Parking meter costs would also increase to 50 cents for one hour. Currently 25 cents buys 75 minutes. The ordinance with the change required a first reading to be held again. The first reading was approved by a 4-1 vote with council member Ruth Spaun voting no. The ordinance would require two-thirds approval on the third reading to become effective. The second reading of Ordinance 759 which replaces Ordinance 691 with regard to flood damage reduction was approved. The ordinance was revised to follow any changes made to the flood maps since the ordinance was first written. It is needed for flood insurance purposes. Ordinance 764 which is an amend- ment to the housing ordinance and billing code was tabled following a suggestion that a time frame for landlords and tenants to comply with the inspection requirement be added to the ordinance.

Council members Phil Ohlinger, Luke Ortman, Robert Payne, Dru Reed and Ruth Spaun were present at the meeting. customers are asked to call the water office, report a potential problem, and then the water department will send out someone to check the meter. According to the mayor that rule was put into effect several years ago, before his time as mayor, because some residents were adjusting their meters to show a lesser amount of water used in order to cut the amount they had to pay. Making the change, according to the fiscal officer, will require an amendment to the ordinance regulating access by customers to the water meters. Attending the meeting were Council members, Richard Vaughan, Manley, Dugan, Sharon Older, and Emerson Heighton. Penny Burge was absent.

Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress and millions more watching at home will be wrapped in a unifying theme: The federal government can play a key role in increasing opportunities for Americans who have been left behind, unable to benefit from a recovering economy. Yet the president will deliver a split message, pressing issues that will distinguish him and other Democrats from Republicans in the 2014 midterm elections. Illustrating his willingness to act on his own, the White House says Obama will announce that he will sign an executive order increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 for new federal contracts. The measure would not affect private companies’ existing contracts, except it would apply to renewals if other terms of an agreement changed. As a result, the order would benefit far fewer workers than the number foreseen by advocates of federal contract employees. Still, the issue dovetails with what will be Obama’s broader call for an increase in the broader national minimum wage to $10.10 and for future increases to be tied to inflation. Obama last year had called for an increase in the national minimum wage to $9. Even as he argues that low-income Americans and many in the middle class lack the means to achieve upward mobility, Obama will also take credit for an economy that by many indicators is gaining strength on his watch. As a result, he will talk positively about a recovery that remains elusive to many Americans. The president will present Congress with an agenda largely unchanged from what he called for a year ago, but one that nevertheless fits into this year’s economic opportunity theme. He will continue to seek an overhaul of immigration laws and expanded preschool education as well as an increase in the minimum wage. But after a year in which those proposals languished and gun control failed, the White House is eager to avoid letting Obama be defined by quixotic ambitions. As a result, he will stress success through his executive actions, though their reach would be far more modest than what he could achieve through legislation. “Congress is slow to action and we’re not going to wait for that,” White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, shrugged off Obama’s minimum wage increase for federal contractors, noting its limits. “So the question is how many people, Mr. President, will this executive action actually help. I suspect the answer is somewhere close to zero,” he said. Boehner warned against raising the minimum wage nationally, arguing that “when you raise the cost of something, you get less of it.” “It’s bad policy, and it will hurt the very people the president purports to help,’ he said. The biggest and most lasting accomplishment of Obama’s second term could be immigration legislation. House Republican leaders have sent signals that they are willing to act on piecemeal legislation, and Obama has given them room to work without prodding. However, House conservatives are pushing back The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

And some Democrats would prefer to use the unresolved issue to mobilize Hispanic voters for this year’s elections. Eager not to be limited by legislative gridlock, Obama is also expected to announce executive actions on job training, retirement security and help for the long-term unemployed in finding work. Among those actions is a new retirement savings plan geared toward workers whose employers don’t currently offer such plans. The program would allow first-time savers to start building up savings in Treasury bonds that eventually could be converted into a traditional IRAs, according to two people who have discussed the proposal with the administration. Those people weren’t authorized to discuss it ahead of the announcement and insisted on anonymity. The White House says the hike in minimum pay for federal contract workers would most benefit janitors and construction workers working under new federal contracts, as well as military base workers who wash dishes, serve food and do laundry. The White House says contractors will have time to take the higher minimum wage into account when pricing their bids. Obama’s go-it-alone approach has already irritated Republicans. “We’re going to watch very closely because there’s a Constitution that we all took an oath to, including him,” Boehner said Tuesday. Obama will follow his address with a quick trip Wednesday and Thursday to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Tennessee to promote his proposals. On Friday, Obama will hold an event at the White House where he’ll announce commitments from several companies to not discriminate against the long-term unemployed during hiring. By Chris Talbott and Michael Hill AP Writers ALBANY, N.Y. — Unable to carry his beloved banjo, Pete Seeger used a different but equally formidable instrument, his voice, to instruct yet another generation of young people how to effect change through song and determination two years ago. A surging crowd, two canes and seven decades as a history-sifting singer and rabblerouser buoyed him as he led an Occupy Wall Street protest through Manhattan in 2011. “Be wary of great leaders,” he told The Associated Press two days after the march. “Hope that there are many, many small leaders.” The banjo-picking troubadour who sang for migrant workers, college students and star-struck presidents in a career that introduced generations of Americans to their folk music heritage died Monday at age 94. Seeger’s grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jackson, said his grandfather died peacefully in his sleep around 9:30 p.m. at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where he had been for six days. Family members were with him. “He was chopping wood 10 days ago,” Cahill-Jackson recalled. With his lanky frame, use-worn banjo and full white beard, Seeger was an iconic figure in folk music who outlived his peers. He performed with the great minstrel Woody Guthrie in his younger days and wrote or co-wrote “If I Had a Hammer,” ”Turn, Turn, Turn,” ”Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.” He lent his voice against Hitler and nuclear power. A cheerful warrior, he typically delivered his broadsides with an affable air and his fingers poised over the strings of his banjo. In 2011, he walked nearly 2 miles with hundreds of protesters swirling around him holding signs and guitars, later admitting the attention embarrassed him. But with a simple gesture — extending his friendship — Seeger gave the protesters and even their opponents a moment of brotherhood the short-lived Occupy movement sorely needed. When a policeman approached, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger said at the time he feared his grandfather would be hassled. “He reached out and shook my hand and said, ‘Thank you, thank you, this is beautiful,’” Rodriguez-Seeger said. “That really did it for me. The cops recognized what we were about. They wanted to help our march. They actually wanted to protect our march because they saw something beautiful. It’s very hard to be anti-something beautiful.” That was a message Seeger spread his entire life. With The Weavers, a quartet organized in 1948, Seeger helped set the stage for a national folk revival. The group — Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman — churned out hit recordings of “Goodnight Irene,” ”Tzena, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Tzena” and “On Top of Old Smokey.” Seeger also was credited with popularizing “We Shall Overcome,” which he printed in his publication “People’s Song” in 1948. He later said his only contribution to the anthem of the civil rights movement was changing the second word from “will” to “shall,” which he said “opens up the mouth better.” “Every kid who ever sat around a campfire singing an old song is indebted in some way to Pete Seeger,” Arlo Guthrie once said. His musical career was always braided tightly with his political activism, in which he advocated for causes ranging from civil rights to the cleanup of his beloved Hudson River. Seeger said he left the Communist Party around 1950 and later renounced it. But the association dogged him for years. He was kept off commercial television for more than a decade after tangling with the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955. Repeatedly pressed by the committee to reveal whether he had sung for Communists, Seeger responded sharply: “I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent this implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, or I might be a vegetarian, make me any less of an American.” He was charged with contempt of Congress, but the sentence was overturned on appeal. Seeger called the 1950s, years when he was denied broadcast exposure, the high point of his career. He was on the road touring college campuses, spreading the music he, Guthrie, Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter and others had created or preserved. “The most important job I did was go from college to college to college to college, one after the other, usually small ones,” he told The Associated Press in 2006. ” … And I showed the kids there’s a lot of great music in this country they never played on the radio.” His scheduled return to commercial network television on the highly rated Smothers Brothers variety show in 1967 was hailed as a nail in the coffin of the blacklist. But CBS cut out his Vietnam protest song, “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy,” and Seeger accused the network of censorship. He finally got to sing it five months later in a stirring return appearance, although one station, in Detroit, cut the song’s last stanza: “Now every time I read the papers/ That old feelin’ comes on/We’re waist deep in the Big Muddy/And the big fool says to push on.” Seeger’s output included dozens of albums and single records for adults and children. He appeared in the movies “To Hear My Banjo Play” in 1946 and “Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon” in 1970. A reunion concert of the original Weavers in 1980 was filmed as a documentary titled “Wasn’t That a Time.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Beth Sergent Interim Editor bsergent@civitasmedia.com �Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Obituary Death Notices ROSCOE J. “COKE” FIFE MIDDLEPORT — Roscoe J. “Coke” Fife, 91 of Middleport, passed away on Sunday, January 26, 2014 at the Arbors of Marietta.

The Reedsville Eastern senior became the first player in school history — male or female — to surpass 1,500 points in a career on Jan. 20 during an 83-27 victory at Racine Southern. The 5-foot-8 guard reached the milestone with six points in the first quarter and finished the night with 12 points. Two days earlier against Olentangy Liberty at the Pickerington Central Prep Shoot Out, Burdette became the school’s all-time leading scorer, eclipsing the 40-year-old record of 1,486 points set by Dennis Eichenger. Burdette, a University of Dayton signee, is a threetime first-team Associated Press All-Ohioan in Division IV.

Lady Defenders surge past PCA, 48-37 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — A third quarter charge ultimately made all the difference for the Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team Monday night during a 48-37 victory over host Parkersburg Christian in a non-conference matchup in Wood County. The visiting Lady Defenders (7-9) struggled in the opening period, as the Lady Knights (7-5) stormed out to a 12-6 edge through eight minutes of play. OVCS countered with a small 8-6 spurt in the second canto, allowing the guests to close to within 18-14 at the intermission. The Lady Defenders made their big push after halftime, as the Blue and Gold made a 20-7 surge to turn a two-possession deficit into a comfortable 34-25 cushion headed into the finale. OVCS — which went a perfect 4-of-4 at the free throw line in the fourth quarter — closed regulation with a 14-12 run, wrapping up the 11-point triumph. It was the third time this season that the Lady Defenders defeated PCA on its home floor. OVCS also picked up 49-39 and 54-35 decisions over the Lady Knights at the 2013 Parkersburg Christian Tournament in December. Emily Carman led OVCS with a game-high 21 points, 18 of which came in the second half. Bekah Sargent was next with 18 points, while Rachel Sargent contributed four markers. Sarah Schoonover and Cassandra Hucthinson each added two points to the winning cause, while Teah Elliott rounded out the winning tally with one marker. The guests were also 10-of-15 at the charity stripe for 67 percent. Camie Marlow paced Parkersburg Christian with 14 points, a dozen of which came in the first half. Cain was next for the hosts with nine markers. PCA was 3-of-8 at the charity stripe for 38 percent.

RACINE, Ohio — For the first time in a decade the Lady Tornadoes have double digit wins. The Southern girls basketball team overcame a slow start Monday night to take a 60-32 victory over visiting Meigs, making the Purple and Gold 10-6 on the year. The 2003-04 season when the SHS girls finished 16-7 was the last time the program had 10 or more wins. The Lady Marauders (4-13) jumped out to a 10-2 lead through the first four minutes of the tilt, but Southern (106) answered with a13-0 run, including nine straight points from Celestia Hendrix, to end the first quarter. Meigs was held to just one field goal in the second quarter, while the Lady Tornadoes expanded their lead to 25-16 at halftime. The Lady Marauders posted 15 points in the third quarter but Southern hit a trio of three pointers and pushed its lead to 11 headed into the fourth. The Lady Tornadoes opened up the game with a 15-0 run to start the fourth quarter. MHS outscored Southern 7-to-3 over the final three minutes of regulation but the Purple and Gold took the 60-38 victory. See TORNADOES | 8 Lady Eagles stymie Wahama, 83-4 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Scary good. The Eastern girls basketball team didn’t allow a field goal in the first half and had all 10 players reach the scoring column Monday night during a 83-4 victory over visiting Wahama in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in Meigs County. The Lady Eagles (15-0, 12-0 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts stormed out to leads of 21-1 and 45-2 after each of the first two quarters of play. Olivia Hill went 2-of-4 at the free throw line in the opening 16 minutes, giving the Lady Falcons (0-14, 0-10) their only points before the break. EHS — which entered the con- test ranked second in the Division IV AP poll — never looked back, as the Lady Eagles went on a 21-2 third quarter surge for a 66-4 lead, then closed regulation with a 17-0 run to wrap up the 79-point triumph. Eastern claimed a season sweep after posting a 74-10 win at WHS back on December 19. It was the second straight game and third time this season that EHS held an opponent to single digits. The Lady Eagles have also allowed a grand total of 40 points in their last three outings. Jordan Parker led the hosts with a game-high 16 points, followed by Katie Keller with 14 points and Erin Swatzel with 13 markers. Jenna Burdette — who did not score in the first and fourth frames — was next with 11 points, while Laura Pullins and Hannah Barringer respectively chipped in nine and eight markers. Maddie Rigsby contributed six points to the winning cause, while Alia Hayes added three points and Lindsey Hupp had two markers. Hannah Bailey rounded things out with one point for EHS, which went 9-of-12 at the free throw line for 75 percent. The Lady Eagles — who have won 18 straight regular season contests and 14 consecutive home games — received only six second half points from Burdette and Parker combined. It is also the lowest total of points allowed by Eastern’s defense this winter. Sierra Carmichael — a 1,000-point career scorer — made Wahama’s only field goal in the third quarter. Carmichael and Hill accounted for all of the scoring by the Lady Falcons, who were 2-of-6 at the charity stripe for 33 percent. �Wednesday, January 29, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Seahawks star Lynch walks out of media day Joe Barrentine | Tacoma News Tribune | MCT photo Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch breaks free from 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith for a 40-yard touchdown in the third quarter of the NFC championship game at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on Sunday, Jan. 19. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch made an early exit at Super Bowl media day, then returned to Tuesday’s session just in time to possibly avoid a hefty fine from the NFL. The running back, wearing a hood and dark sunglasses, abruptly left the required session at the Prudential Center, walking out after 6½ minutes. He later came back and stood on the side of the media area, doing interviews with the Armed Forces Network, Deion Sanders for the NFL Network, and a Seahawks Web reporter. Lynch also talked to teammates and signed footballs and a helmet for fans in the stands. While he did that, about five dozen media members stood in front of Lynch and shouted out a few questions. He ignored almost all of them as time ran out in Seattle’s 45-minute availability. One reporter asked, “Are you trying to avoid being fined by standing here?” Lynch twice nodded his head yes. Earlier this month, Lynch was fined $50,000 for not cooperating with the Seattle media. The NFL put the fine on hold, saying it would be rescinded if his behavior improved. “Players are required to participate and he participated. We will continue to monitor the situation,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday. Lynch has required media sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The Seahawks play the Denver Broncos on Sunday. At media day, Lynch was standing on the floor of the covered-over hockey rink among a cluster of about 100 reporters. There were eight podiums set up for Seattle stars and coach Pete Carroll, plus nine other separated areas separated from the throng. Lynch wasn’t positioned at any of them. The team decided to put him among a group of players standing behind barriers with reporters on the other side. Lynch answered a half-dozen questions before walking away. He came back a little bit later, off to the side of the interview zone, but close enough to hear questions. And to answer them, had he felt so inclined. He generally didn’t. Lynch watched as the clocked counted down to zero and, when it was announced the Seattle portion of media availability was over, he left for good. Lynch never has explained his beef with the media. He regularly spoke to reporters until late in the 2012 season. In March of that year, he signed a four-year contract worth $31 million, including a guaranteed $18 million. In July 2012, he was arrested for driving under the influence near his hometown of Oakland, Calif. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday of Lynch’s actions: “He’s such a major factor on our football team, but in this setting he becomes somewhat of a recluse and doesn’t want to be a part of it. We try and respect that as much as we can.” Super Bowl megastars, All-Pros — and everyone else JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — The names are hardly as familiar as Peyton Manning and Richard Sherman. Yet, for all the megastars and All-Pros in this Super Bowl, there are guys like Jermaine Kearse and Paris Lenon. Like Michael Robinson and Terrance Knighton. Malcolm Smith and Manny Ramirez. Players who have gone from pretty much nowhere on the NFL landscape to the doorstep of a championship. Perhaps no one is more grateful for the opportunity to grab a ring than these men. Some are veterans who fit the term journeymen. Some are youngsters who went in late rounds of the draft — or were ignored altogether. All recognize they will play some sort of role in Sunday’s championship game. Some might even sneak into a starring part, the way running back Tim Smith did in 1987 or cornerback Larry Brown did in 1996. “You never know who it might be,” said Knighton, the massive defensive tackle coming off a sensational AFC championship game performance. Knighton could be the poster child for players who graduate from the depths of the NFL — “I did my four years in Jacksonville,” he said — to the top of the pro football ladder. He’s been practically unblockable in the last few weeks, rising from obscurity to recognizability as a leader of an improving defense. “Well I think that’s naturally going to happen when you’re in the middle of the defense and you’re the anchor of the defense,” the 335-pound Knighton said. “I feel like I’m a natural leader; I think wherever I am, people just gravitate towards me, and with that it requires a responsibility to help other guys and bring them along.” Coach John Fox praises the work ethic of Knighton, who was buried deep on the depth chart in training camp after being signed as a free agent away from the Jaguars. “I’ll always put it on players,” Fox said of Knighton’s emergence from a who’s-he to a watch-out-for-him performer. “As a coach, we spend a lot of time trying to define players. Basically, our approach is, ‘Don’t let us define you. You are going to be held accountable. It is going to be based on your performance, where you are on the depth chart, how much you are going to play. All of those things, you earn or don’t earn.’ “Really, everything Terrance has done, he did (himself).” Ditto for Seattle’s Kearse, who played at the University of Washington but went undrafted in 2012. He made all of three catches that season after catching on with the Seahawks, and his job was anything but secure when Percy Harvin was acquired in a trade, and with Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin in the receiving corps for 2013. All Kearse did was go from afterthought to touchdown threat, NFL backs push for youth concussion protocols EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Legislation for federal funding to help protect student athletes from concussions got the National Football League’s backing Monday in the shadow of the stadium where the Super Bowl will be played this weekend. NFL Senior Vice President Adolpho Birch joined two New Jersey lawmakers in support of legislation drafted following the 2008 death of a New Jersey high school football player. The proposal by Sen. Robert Menendez and Rep. Bill Pascrell involves national concussion guidelines currently under development for schools and youth sport programs by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The legislation would authorize a 5-year grant program to bring those guidelines to school sports programs nationwide. The bill would authorize $5 million in first-year funding, with additional funds to be provided as necessary for the remaining four years. It would be used to help states train athletic staff and help ensure schools have adequate medical staff coverage and can implement the CDC guidelines expected to be established by next year. Birch, the NFL’s senior vice president of labor policy and government affairs, joined the lawmakers for a news conference at an East Rutherford high school a little over a mile from MetLife Stadium, which will host the Super Bowl on Sunday. Several student athletes from the Henry P. Becton Regional High School’s Wildcats football squad — a few of whom spoke about concussions suffered during play — joined them at the podium. “In the NFL, player health and safety is a priority for us,” Birch said. “But we need to be clear that it’s not just our players who we’re thinking about, and who we’re worried about, it’s all players, it’s athletes at all levels, in all sports. We believe that youth sports should be a particular focus.” The NFL’s support for the legislation comes as it tries to settle a lawsuit by thousands of its former players over its handling of concussions. The two sides have negotiated a proposed $765 million deal to settle thousands of lawsuits consolidated in federal court in Philadelphia. Amid concerns the fund may not last the promised 65 years, plaintiffs’ lawyers are preparing for a fairness hearing expected sometime this year. Sen. Menendez said federal funding was needed at the school sports level “to ensure that every child who and his 35-yard catch for the winning score against San Francisco keyed Seattle’s NFC title win. Some credit Kearse undergoing Lasik eye surgery last winter with his becoming a force, but coach Pete Carroll can’t confirm that. He can confirm that Kearse’s importance has steadily risen this season. “I don’t know for a fact that it changed things, but it sure seems like it did,” Carroll said of the surgery. “He has great athleticism, great hand-eye coordination, but he has been over the top since he came back from that. So, subjectively I would say that it had an impact, but he was good anyway. “He has been extraordinary for us in so many ways, but it seems like it gave him confidence. I don’t know what the difference was, but he’s better because of it.” Broncos linebacker Lenon’s confidence had to be waning at various points in his 12-year career. He was on the 0-16 Lions of 2008, eight years after he was not selected in the draft. He was cut by Carolina in 2000, worked for the post office and then wound up in the XFL — if anybody remembers that short-lived league. Yet here he is, a backup to middle linebacker Wesley Woodyard who gets snaps in the regular defense, and plays some special teams. Lenon learned a lot from all that losing with the Lions. By applying those lessons, well, he’s managed another half-decade in the NFL. “When you’re in a situation like that, you have a certain amount of guys that pack it in,” Lenon said. “That’s difficult for me, because I’m not that type of person. I’m going to compete until the end. That’s the most difficult part of being in a situation like that. “Now, it’s a complete reversal.” And a great place to be after you’ve been mired in the other side. MLB OKs protective cap for pitchers, fit for camp takes the field is properly protected and that their parents have peace of mind.” The Contact Act was drafted following the October 2008 death of Montclair High School football player Ryne Dougherty. The 16-year-old Dougherty suffered a brain hemorrhage and died after his family said he was prematurely returned to action following a concussion. The Contact Act hasn’t been enacted, but Pascrell said he hoped the CDC guidelines and the NFL’s endorsement would help get it passed. “They were a reluctant partner in the beginning,” Pascrell said of the NFL, “but they’ve jumped into this in a very positive way.” NEW YORK (AP) — Big league pitchers might feel safer on the mound this season. Major League Baseball has approved a protective cap for pitchers, hoping to reduce the damage from line drives to head that have brought some terrifying and bloody scenes in the last few years. The heavier and bigger new hat was introduced Tuesday and will be available for testing during spring training on a voluntary basis. Major leaguers and minor leaguers won’t be required to wear it — comfort is likely to be a primary concern. “Obviously, it’d be a change,” two-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers told the MLB Network. “I’m definitely not opposed to it.” “I think it’d take a lot of getting used to,” he said. “You don’t look very cool, I’ll be honest.” The safety plates made by isoBLOX are sewn into the hat and custom fitted. They weigh an extra six to seven ounces — a baseball weighs about five ounces, by comparison — and offer protection to the forehead, temples and sides of the head. They’ll make the hats about a half-inch thicker in the front and around an inch wider on the sides. Several pitchers have been hit in the head by line drives in the recent seasons. Brandon McCarthy sustained a brain contusion and skull fracture after being struck in 2012 and Doug Fister was hit during the World Series that October.

No so much… NEW YORK (AP) — Will the snowy New York City area really reap an estimated $600 million economic boost from the Super Bowl? Probably not. Despite such lofty predictions, sports economists say the financial impact of the Super Bowl could fall far below expectations, in part because visitors often spend their cash at NFLsponsored or corporate events rather than at tourist attractions. Some hotels say Super Bowl bookings are running behind what they hoped for, prompting them to ease demands for minimum stays and room deposits. And academic studies show that at best, past Super Bowls generated tens of millions, not hundreds of millions. “Move the decimal point one place to the left,” said Robert Baade, a professor at Lake Forest College in Illinois, who has studied the Super Bowl’s impact on local economies. “The NFL says $500 or $600 million? I think $50 to $60 million would be a generous appraisal of what the Super Bowl generates.” The NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, which has worked closely with the NFL to prepare for the Feb. 2 game, has claimed in the yearslong run-up that it would generate $500 to $600 million for the region, but it refused to provide any information on how it tabulated that estimate. An NFL spokesman said the league does not conduct economic impact studies on the Super Bowl. A study Baade conducted in 2000 showed that the average Super Bowl from the 1970s through the late ’90s only accounted for about $32 million each in increased economic activity at the most. The study, which examined tax revenue and other economic factors before and after the Super Bowl, concluded that the 1999 Super Bowl in Miami, for example, only contributed about $37 million to the South Florida economy. The NFL, by comparison, claimed that 1999 game between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons generated $396 million, the study said.

One point of clarification — it was never about 18 majors. Woods once said the chart contained only four or five items constructed in a timeline, such as when Nicklaus started playing, how long before he first broke 40 for nine holes, when he won his first U.S. Amateur and when he turned pro. “It was just a benchmark for me growing up,” Woods said in Australia a few years ago. “Here’s the greatest player of all time and this is what he did when he was 13, 17, 18. As a junior, you’re always trying to compare yourself to, ‘When did he do it?’ And hopefully, I can do something a little bit better and maybe that might springboard myself into having a good career.” Here are two more items he could have added to the list: — Woods didn’t shoot in the 80s for the first time until his 130th stroke-play tournament as a pro. Nicklaus first shot 80 in his seventh tournament. In fact, Saturday at Torrey Pines was only the fifth round in Woods’ career of 79 or worse. Nicklaus had four in his rookie season alone. — Woods went 37 majors as a pro before he finally missed a cut, in the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Nicklaus missed his first cut in his sixth major, the 1963 U.S. Open at Brookline, when he was the defending champion. Woods was at Oakmont for a corporate day a few months before the 2007 U.S. Open when the conversation turned to his missed cut at Winged Foot. The surprise was not that he missed the cut, but that it took nearly 10 years to happen. Woods shrugged. “You figure you’re going to have one bad week,” he said. That’s why it’s best — for now — to heed what he said Tuesday in Dubai. He was asked about any changes he made after a 79 at Torrey Pines caused him to miss the 54-hole cut last week in the Farmers Insurance Open. The only thing he changed was his flight itinerary to Dubai. “I know I’m not that far off,” Woods said. “I just happened to have one bad day, and that happens.” It was surprising that it happened to him, especially at Torrey Pines, where he had won eight times. It was only his fourth round over par on the South Course for that tournament. Two of those rounds were in 2011, when he was just starting to rebuild his swing. And he was in reasonable position in the tournament until his meltdown began with a shot into the pond on the par-5 18th for a double bogey. Woods was between 3-iron and 5-wood, tried to take a little off the 5-wood, paid the price and “it snowballed from there.” He had seven straight holes of bogey or worse. “Unfortunately,” he said Tuesday, “the longer you play the sport, the more things like that happen.” So maybe he’s catching up on lost time. Or maybe Father Time is catching up with him. Johnny Miller, in a book he wrote in 2004 titled, “I Call The Shots,” was making arguments on both sides of Woods breaking Nicklaus’ record of 18 majors. One reason against Woods breaking the record was that “competitively, he’s an old 28.” Is he now an old 38? Woods already has gone through four knee surgeries, including a reconstruct in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open (which happens to be the 14th and last major he won). He was right to say Tuesday that “I wouldn’t read anything into what happened Saturday at Torrey Pines.” It was just one tournament. One round. Remember, last year Woods missed the cut in Abu Dhabi (with help from a two-shot penalty) and then annihilated the field at Torrey Pines the next week. He couldn’t finish the final round at Doral in 2012 because of soreness in his Achilles’ heel, and then won his next start at Bay Hill. But let’s go back to that Curtis Compton | Atlanta Journal-Constitution | MCT photo Tiger Woods reacts to hitting his fairway shot to the sand trap at the first green to begin his final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013, in Atlanta. last knee surgery. Woods had never finished out of the top 10 in his first tournament of the year through 2008, including six wins on three courses (La Costa, Kapalua, Torrey Pines). In the six season-openers since then, he has no wins, two top 10s and three times didn’t make it to Sunday. How much work did Woods put into his game in the 45 days between his last round at Sherwood and his opening round at Torrey Pines? Woods is the only one who can say how he prepared, and after 18 years on tour, how much he felt like he needed (or wanted) to prepare. Miller, however, wasn’t referring to Woods’ health when he wrote 10 years ago that he was an “old 28.” His hunch was that Woods’ prime had arrived early, and that “it won’t be long before the hole shrinks back to its regulation 4¼-inch size.” It sure seems like a long time since Woods stood over an important putt and there was no doubt it was going in. Woods is playing the Dubai Desert Classic this week. In six previous trips, he has won twice and has finished out of the top 5 once — that was in 2011, again when he was in the early stages of his work with Sean Foley. If the instruction from Woods is not to read anything into what happened at Torrey, it shouldn’t matter — good or bad — what happens in Dubai. Everyone has bad days. It just seems like Woods has more of them than he once did.

The club had offered $4.6 million while Chapman asked for $5.4 million. The Reds were far apart with Bailey, who asked for $11.6 million and was offered $8.7 million. If they can’t reach a deal, a hearing would be held next month. Bailey went 11-12 last season with a 3.49 ERA and a club-high 199 strikeouts. He also pitched his second no-hitter in two years. Chapman went 4-5 with 38 saves and a 2.54 ERA in 68 appearances with 112 strikeouts in 63 2-3 innings. Browns to interview Kyle Shanahan for OC opening CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns will interview former Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to be their play caller. Shanahan will meet with new Cleveland coach Mike Pettine and members of Cleveland’s front office on Wednesday. Shanahan was fired in Washington along with his father, Mike, the Redskins former head coach, following a 3-13 season. Shanahan has interviewed for at least two other coordinator positions this month, but was passed over by Baltimore and Miami. The 34-year-old Shanahan spent four seasons with Washington after two as Houston’s offensive coordinator. He and his father’s relationship with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III reportedly deteriorated during this past season, and at least partly contributed to the team’s decision to move in another direction. Pettine hired former Buffalo linebackers coach Jim O’Neil as his defensive coordinator on Monday. 3 more plead guilty in truck stop company scheme KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Three former employees of the truck stop company owned by the family of Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam have pleaded guilty to federal charges involving a scheme where trucking companies were cheated out of promised fuel rebates. The three entered their pleas Monday. They are among 10 former Pilot Flying J employees to plead guilty since federal agents raided the company’s Knoxville headquarters last year. One of the former employees who ap- MARK PORTER CHEVROLET BUICK GMC MAKING CAR DREAMS COME TRUE – CAR FAIRY – peared in court Monday is Brian Mosher, a former director of sales, who admitted to training other company employees on how to cheat customers. Company CEO Jimmy Haslam has denied involvement in the rebate scheme. Gov. Bill Haslam says he is not involved with the company’s operations. The company has been forced to pay millions because of the fraud. Rockies, Janish agree to minor league deal DENVER (AP) — Paul Janish and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a minor league contract, and the utility infielder will report to big league spring training. The 31-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Atlanta Braves. Before that he played four years with the Cincinnati Reds, who picked him in the fifth round of the 2004 amateur draft. Janish is a career .214 hitter with seven homers and 81 RBIs. Ganassi Racing has talked to Busch about Indy CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chip Ganassi Racing has had a preliminary discussion with Kurt Busch about running the Indianapolis 500. “I’ve talked to him,” Ganassi team President Steve Lauletta said Tuesday. “I don’t know if it’s going to work for us. We haven’t gotten to a point where we know if we can run a fifth car for the Indy 500. If we did that, then we’d be able to have a more detailed conversation. But we haven’t made that decision yet.” Busch put his chances Monday at “70 percent” at running the 500 this year. He said his options were Andretti Autosport and one other team he declined to identify. Busch said his first choice would be to partner with Andretti because he tested with the team last season. He completed the Indy 500 rookie orientation program with Andretti, but IndyCar officials said Tuesday that Busch would likely need to pass the final two phases again as a refresher if he were to compete in the 500. Busch drives a Chevrolet for StewartHaas Racing in NASCAR, and Andretti fields Hondas in IndyCar. Busch said he did not think there was a conflict with him driving for a competing manufacturer, but a Chevrolet official said Tuesday it would be their first choice for Busch to drive for a General Motors team. Ganassi fields Chevys in both NASCAR and IndyCar. 2014 CRUZE $189/MONTH Sign & Drive Event With approved credit.
