Fisher Donald Ray Osborne, 79 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 35 Calamity day makeup issue for schools By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — With no decision as to whether Ohio’s legislative leaders will approve an additional four more calamity days for schools closed by inclement weather, local school boards are finding it difficult to make decisions about how to adjust the calendar for the remainder of the school year. There seems to be a debate in the House and Senate which, in all probability, won’t get resolved until later this month. As of now, the Senate and House have not reached an agreement on Gov. John Kasich’s call for an increase in calamity days beyond the five that schools have been allotted. The expectation, according to a news release, is that it may take a couple more weeks before anything definite is decided. Meanwhile, this puts school districts in a wait-and-see position about whether or not they need to plan for an extended school year. The difference to be resolved is about how calamity days need to be fitted into the school schedule. The Senate bill says schools that have gone beyond their five allocated calamity days — and all three districts in Meigs County have — must first use four of their five contingency days. Those are days that districts are required to schedule in the event they have to close schools for more than five days. However, the House bill did not require that any contingency days be used to make up the required number of days in the school year. It gave districts four additional calamity days and required that districts use two for teacher training. Proposals for handling makeup time under consideration are decreasing spring break days, adding 30 minutes to the length of each school day, or extending the school year. In the Meigs Local School District, the nearly 2,000 students have missed 16 days of school so far. Less the five calamity days provided by the state, and the credit for three Blizzard Bag days where students were given assignments by the teachers and worked at home — which makes eight of the make-up days — eight more remain to be made up in some other way. Even if legislative leaders decide on granting another four calamity days, the Meigs Local system will still be short four days of meeting the required number of days for a full school year. No decision has been made as to when the remaining school days will be made up, according to Superintendent Rusty Bookman. Students in the Eastern Local School District have missed 15 days because of the weather. They have the five calamity days and one other day that has already been made up. The plan is to use four days of spring break as makeup days. A decision is yet to be made as to whether or not to do Blizzard Bags. The school board has already approved the use of Blizzard Bags to make up an additional three days of missed school, according to Superintendent Scot Gheen, but approval now has to come from the teachers’ union. As for the Southern Local School District, 15 days were missed because of the weather. In addition to the five calamity days allowed by the state, the district has scheduled two make-up days over spring break, three days from the use of Blizzard Bags and, depending on what the Legislature does about granting additional calamity days, will make up whatever is left at the end of the school year, Superintendent Tony Deem said.

Planning for spring improvements By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The money is in, the plans are made and the time is coming when more improvements at the Mulberry Pond Park will begin. Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker recently met with Jim Smith, chief volunteer for the development of the pond and park area for many years, to discuss planned improvements to be made when the weather warms with funding from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. All of the improvements at the park have been financed with grant money and contributions from area clubs, businesses and individuals. The pond has been stocked with fish, walkways have been built on both sides, park benches have installed, a flower bed has been developed, and a picnic area is complete with cooking facilities and tables on concrete pads. Up until recently when the pond froze over, there were 18 ducks who called the Mulberry Pond home. They were faithfully fed summer and winter, but when the temperatures dropped and the pond froze, all but three left in search of water. Several have GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday concluded its investigation into the deaths last month of 11 dogs at the county animal shelter and has turned the case over to the prosecutor’s office. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning said he is asking Prosecutor Jeff Adkins to review the case to help determine if any wrongdoing occurred. “Our part would be purely concentrating on the criminal aspect, if any did occur,” Browning said in a text message to the Daily Tribune. See DEATHS | 3 Secretary of State Jon Husted and Charles Williams. The pond froze over and the ducks flew away in search of water. Only three of the 18 ducks which called the Mulberry Pond home are left. since been seen swimming in the Ohio River. Smith’s hope is that the ducks will return when spring sets in. As for the improvements, the walkway on the left side of the pond will be extended to allow for visibility of the waterfalls at the back, steps will be built down from an area above the walkway, the pathway entrance to the park will be resurfaced, and some handrails will be installed. The parking area was paved by the village last fall. Plans are also being made to increase special activities this summer. A second outing for the handicapped elderly and nursing home patients is being planned along with fishing tournaments and picnics for children and adults. OVS brings Broadway heat to Ariel Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — After digging out from another layer of snow and ice, melt off the endless winter Saturday with the warmth of Broadway’s greatest hits and The Ohio Valley Symphony. Vocalist Steve Amerson joins the OVS at 8 p.m. at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre for a night of favorite songs from six decades of hit shows. Ray Fowler, the orchestra’s music director, conducts. Concert-goers will hear familiar tunes by the Great White Way’s greatest — and most beloved — composers and lyricists, written for landmark shows that changed the face of musical theater. Amerson will bring them alive in arrangements crafted especially for him to take advantage of the rich, vibrant sounds that only a live orchestra can create. Amerson’s voice has been heard in an enormous body of work, including more See BROADWAY | 3 Steve Amerson Secretary of State Husted announces County Boards of Elections Appointments Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS — Secretary of State Jon Husted announced the appointment of 176 boards of elections members earlier this week. The new board appointees, half of the 352 board members statewide, began their term March 1. For Meigs County, Democrat Charles E. Williams was appointed to replace longtime board member John Ihle. Also reappointed was Republican Edward W. Durst. “Serving as an elections official in Ohio is both and honor and a responsibility,” Husted said. “I look forward to working with each newly appointed board member to continue our work to ensure that in Ohio it is easy to vote and hard to cheat.” State law requires biparti- san representation on each of Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections. Each board is made up of two Republican members and two Democratic members, all of whom must be qualified electors in the counties for which they serve. The secretary of state makes appointments to boards of elections based on the recommendations of the executive committees of the respective county political parties. Terms for boards of elections members are staggered so that half of the board, one Democrat and one Republican, are up every two years. Last month, Husted welcomed more than 40 new board members to the state’s capitol, Columbus, where he administered the oath of office during a ceremony at the Statehouse. �Page 2 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, March 5, 2014 Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Community Calendar Today: Increasing clouds with a high near 43.

Ohio’s exotic animal law survives federal lawsuit By Ann Sanner Associated Press COLUMBUS — A federal appeals court upheld Ohio’s restrictions on exotic animals on Tuesday, rejecting a challenge by owners who had claimed the law was too stringent and forced them to join organizations they disagree with. Seven owners had sued the state over the regulations, arguing that the law violates their free speech and free association rights. The owners “believe that private exotic animal ownership, free from government intrusion, should be lawful,” an attorney for them wrote in a court brief in August. But in its ruling, the three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said that the owners’ constitutional claims lacked merit. “The burden of regulation may, unfortunately, fall heavier on some than on others, but that, without more, is not enough to render this act unconstitutional,” Judge Julia Smith Gibbons wrote in the panel’s opinion.

Seven owners had sued the state over the regulations, arguing that the law violates their free speech and free association rights. law as addressing animal welfare, public health and public safety concerns associated with private ownership of dangerous wild animals. State lawmakers worked to strengthen Ohio’s regulations after a suicidal owner released dozens of creatures from a farm in Zanesville in 2011. Authorities killed most of the animals, which included black bears, Bengal tigers and African lions, fearing for the public’s safety. The law required owners to get a new state-issued permit by Jan. 1 of this year. They must pass background checks, pay fees, obtain liability insurance or surety bonds and show they can properly contain and care for the animal. Otherwise, residents are banned from having the wild creatures. The law exempts sanctuaries, research institutions and facilities accredited by some national zoo groups, such as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Zoological Association of America. The owners contend that joining such groups to get an exemption from the law means they would have to associate and fund organizations with which they disagree. The court said that the owners’ unwillingness to meet permit requirements or seek exemptions under the law does not mean that the measure compels them to join certain groups. “The act imposes a choice on appellants, even though it is not a choice they welcome.” The owners also challenged the state’s requirement that animals be implanted with a microchip, calling it government intrusion on their property. The state likened the requirements to installing license plates on cars, exit signs in buildings or fences in yards. And the federal appeals court agreed. “There is little difference between a law requiring a microchip in an animal and a law requiring handrails in apartment buildings,” the judges said. The owners’ appeal came after a federal judge in Columbus sided with the state in upholding the law in 2012. Deaths From Page 1 For the past two weeks, the Gallia County Commission – overseers of the county animal shelter and its employees – has been seeking answers as to why 11 dogs were euthanized one day prior to a dog adoption event sponsored by the Friends of Gallia County’s Animals, a local animal group that promotes animal welfare, and provides as- sistance and care to displaced, abandoned, or abused animals. Group members say that all 11 dogs were killed despite being properly vaccinated and slated for adoptive families. While no one has been officially charged in the dog deaths, the employee has been openly identified during county commission meetings as the assistant dog warden. The commission, in a press release issued last week, said once they receive the report from the prosecutor, they will decide what personnel action will be taken, if any. Commissioners have said the employee in question has been reassigned to the maintenance crew at the Gallia County Courthouse. Last week, commissioners said they are exploring several options to prevent future mass dog killings. One measure, according to commission president David K. Smith, is the installation of in- door and outdoor cameras at the Gallia County Animal Shelter. The second measure, he said, involves obtaining the services of a licensed veterinarian to perform all future euthanizations in a controlled environment. Smith said the commission is currently negotiating with Dr. Brian Hendrickson, of Riverbend Animal Clinic in Gallipolis, to perform those procedures. So far this year, 12 dogs have been euthanized at the Gallia County Animal Shelter – all of which occurred between Feb. 10 and Feb. 17, according to copies of the animal shelter’s canine weekly report provided to the Daily Tribune. The same report notes that only 20 dogs were “put down” all of last year. The commission has publicly credited Friends of Gallia County’s Animals with “keeping the numbers low.” Broadway From Page 1 than 160 feature films, and on television shows and commercials.

The fire of revolution burns in Les Miserables. From the worldwide sensation Amerson performs the anthem “Do You Hear the People Sing.” Though set in 19th-century Paris, the haunting, prayerful “Bring Him Home” resonates today with thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed in hot spots around the world.

Concert-goers have another unique opportunity to make a personal connection with the music, too. Thomas Consolo, OVS Assistant Conductor and program annotator, offers a free pre-concert talk in the third-floor Ariel Chamber Theatre, just upstairs from the concert site. The casual get-togethers put a more personal face on the night’s music, and he’ll answer any questions about the program, the OVS or orchestral music in general.

Dionne The Washington Post WASHINGTON — To understand the country’s frustration with politics, we shouldn’t focus primarily on “gridlock” and “polarization.” The larger problem is a disconnect between what the nation’s capital is talking about and what most citizens are worried about. The issues discussed at kitchen tables and over back fences relate to getting and keeping good jobs, better educating our children, improving living standards (or, these days, keeping them from falling), and holding families together. The issues that fixate Washington are abstractions such as tax reform, deficit reduction, and whether small government is better than big government. Call the distance between the two sets of priorities the Reality Gap. We got another reminder of this with all the attention showered on the tax reform proposal offered last week by Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and the widespread mourning over the fact that Camp’s plan is going nowhere this year. Because meanness is now so much a part of our discourse, it’s worth saying upfront that Camp, the outgoing chair of the Ways and Means Committee, is a serious, thoughtful and decent politician. He deserves kudos for detailing his choices, even if his plan uses gimmicks to disguise the way in which it would almost certainly increase the deficit in the long run. Some of Camp’s ideas, such as ending the specialinterest break for hedge fund operators, are sensible. Others would make things worse. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities showed, his changes to the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit would eventually have the effect of cutting $2,000 from the annual income of a mother with two children who works full time at the current minimum wage. That’s not what tax reform should be about. And by eliminating the tax deduction for state and local taxes, Camp’s plan punishes states that are spending their own money to solve their own problems. But it’s Camp’s premise that’s wrong: At a time of rising inequality, we do not need fewer, lower tax brackets. The fastest income growth has been in the top 0.1 percent. This points to the need for new, somewhat higher tax rates at the very top. We need to use tax reform to increase revenue, not cut it. The purpose is not to penalize the rich, but to address the widening gaps in income and in opportunities for mobility. These demand a much more aggressive response from government. When President Obama releases his budget, it should thus be measured by where it lies along the spectrum defined by the Reality Gap — whether it is investing enough to begin returning us to the days when economic growth was broadly shared. Obama intends to signal the end of austerity politics. He’s giving up for now on a fruitless quest for a grand budget bargain, since Republicans clearly have no interest in pursuing one. He’s right about this. Also to the good will be the spending the president is seeking for training and apprenticeship programs, new manufacturing initiatives, infrastructure and pre-K education.

Still, we need a new benchmark. It should be set not by what a divided Congress might be willing to enact but by what we should be doing to help families trying to improve their circumstances against strong headwinds. Obama’s budget will likely fall short by this standard. My hunch is that the president, at least privately, would probably agree. To begin this conversation, here’s one idea that uses the typical family’s struggles as its starting point. (And thanks to my Brookings Institution colleague Elisabeth Jacobs for thinking this through with me.) Those who lose their jobs need not only unemployment insurance — and yes, we should be extending the program — but also a chance to train for new work, in some cases by going back to school. Conservatives such as the American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Strain have suggested relocation subsidies so people could move to more promising labor markets. Many parents need paid leave time for a newborn or for family emergencies. Isn’t it time to consider a comprehensive Life Cycle Insurance program that wraps these benefits, and perhaps others like them, together? It might be funded through a modest addition to the payroll tax. We need to remember the American tradition of using government to empower people and reduce their level of economic insecurity. Alienation from politics will keep growing as long as Washington’s conversations have so little to do with the challenges families face every day. It’s time to start closing the Reality Gap. The Washington Post WASHINGTON — One hundred years after a spark in Central Europe ignited a conflagration from which the world has not yet recovered and from which Europe will never recover, armed forces have crossed an international border in Central Europe, eliciting this analysis from Secretary of State John Kerry: “It’s a 19th century act in the 21st century. It really puts at question Russia’s capacity to be within the G8.” Although this “19th century act” resembles many 20th century (and 16th, 17th and 18th century) acts, it is, the flabbergasted Kerry thinks, astonishing in the 21st century, which he evidently supposes to be entirely unlike any other. What is more disconcerting — that Kerry believes this? Or that his response to Putin’s aggression is to question Russia’s “capacity” — Kerry means fitness — for membership in the G8? For many centuries, European peace has been regularly broken because national borders do not tidily coincide with ethnic, linguistic and religious patterns. This problem was intensified by World War I, which demolished the Habsburg, Romanov and Ottoman empires. Ukraine is a shard of the first two, and a neighbor of a remnant of the third. The problems bequeathed by that war were aggravated by a peacemaker, one of Kerry’s precursors among American progressives eager to share with the world their expertise at imposing rationality on untidy societies. Unfortunately, Woodrow Wilson’s earnestness about improving the world was larger than his appreciation of how the world’s complexities can cause improvers to make matters worse. Wilson injected into diplomatic discourse the idea that “self-determination” is a universal right and “an imperative principle of action.” Several of his Fourteen Points concerned self-determination. But of what “self” was he speaking? Sometimes he spoke of the self-determination of “nations,” at other times of “peoples,” as though these are synonyms. Wilson’s secretary of state, Robert Lansing, wondered “what unit has he in mind” and warned that “certain phrases” of Wilson’s “have not been thought out.” But they resonated. In the Atlantic Charter of 1941, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill affirmed the rights of “peoples.” The U.N. Charter endorses the self-determination of “peoples.” Which became a third ingredient, ethnic self-determination. Wilson had sown dragon’s teeth. 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Lansing said the “undigested” word “self-determination” is “loaded with dynamite. … It will, I fear, cost thousands of lives.” While Wilson was making phrases in 1918, a German corporal recovering from a gas attack was making plans. And on Sept. 27, 1938, the corporal, then Germany’s chancellor, said “the right of self-determination, which had been proclaimed by President Wilson as the most important basis of national life, was simply denied to the Sudeten Germans” and must be enforced. So Czechoslovakia was dismembered. Still, the war came. Three months from the end of the war in Europe, the architects of the impending victory — Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin — met at a town on the Crimean peninsula where Putin is now tightening his grip. Conservatives who should know better have often said the Yalta Conference “gave” Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union. Actually, the Red Army was in the process of acquiring it. This process could no more have been resisted militarily by Stalin’s allies, which the United States and Britain then were, than Putin’s aggression can be. “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you,” supposedly said Lev Bronstein, as Leon Trotsky was known when he lived in the Bronx, before he made the Red Army, the parent of the forces Putin is wielding. Barack Obama, who involved the United States in seven months of war with Libya, perhaps because the project was untainted by U.S. national interest, is seeking diplomatic and especially economic leverage against Putin’s ramshackle nation in order to advance the enormous U.S. interest in depriving him of Ukraine. Unless Obama finds such leverage, his precipitous slide into Jimmy Carter territory will continue. As an expression of disdain for a U.S. president, Putin’s seizure of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula is symmetrical with Leonid Brezhnev’s invasion of Afghanistan late in Carter’s presidency. Large presidential failures cannot be hermetically sealed; they permeate a presidency. Putin’s contribution to the miniaturization of Obama comes in the context of Obama’s self-inflicted wound — Obamacare, which simultaneously shattered belief in his competence and honesty, and may linger as ruinously for Obama as the Iranian hostage crisis did for Carter. This may be condign punishment for Obama’s foreign policy carelessness and for his wishful thinking about Putin as a “partner” and about a fiction (“the international community”) being consequential. It certainly is dangerous.

Earl has the potential to draw votes from Kasich as he faces a likely challenge from Democrat Ed FitzGerald this fall. Libertarian governor candidate challenged in Ohio By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Lawyers sparred Tuesday over whether a Libertarian gubernatorial candidate in Ohio is qualified for the May ballot, a dispute whose outcome could affect Republican Gov. John Kasich’s re-election bid. Libertarian Charlie Earl has the potential to draw votes from Kasich as the governor faces a likely challenge from Democrat Ed FitzGerald this fall. Kasich has faced criticism from tea party activists and other conservatives within the GOP for some of his policy decisions, including backing Medicaid expansion and drilling tax increases. Recent polls place Kasich ahead of FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive in Cleveland, but the governor’s race in this closely-divided battleground state has a chance of being tight. The protest seeking to disqualify Earl from the primary ballot was registered on behalf of Tyler King, a Libertarian Ohio voter. King’s lawyer, Columbus attorney John Zeiger, argued Tuesday before hearing officer Bradley Smith, a former federal election commissioner, that Earl should be disqualified. He asserted that Democrats orchestrated the circulation of Earl’s petitions and provided monetary and legal help to the effort. Capital University law professor Mark Brown, representing Earl, said that Ohio Republicans are trying to force Libertarians and other third parties from the ballot. Brown brought a successful federal legal challenge to the constitutionality of new ballot access rules passed by the Ohio Legislature and signed by Kasich in November, a bill Democrats pejoratively labeled “the John Kasich Re-Election Protection Act.” Zeiger’s firm laid out the following claims through documents and testimony: — The Democratic law firm McTigue & McGinnis and employees of Strategy Network, a Democrat-affiliated consulting firm, received payments from an entity called Ohioans for Liberty to supervise, manage and organize signature gathering for Libertarian candidates, including Earl; — The bulk of Ohioans for Liberty’s funding came through an $828,000 contribution from the Ohio Democratic Party; — A leading professional petitioner who collected signatures for Earl identified herself elsewhere as a registered Democrat; — A Strategy Network employee who helped collect and submit petitions for Earl’s candidacy had been employed by then-Ohio House Minority Leader Armond Budish, a Democrat; By Brett Barrouquere Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two of Kentucky’s top Democrats split sharply Tuesday over same-sex marriage, with Gov. Steve Beshear saying outside lawyers will be hired to appeal a decision granting recognition to gay couples married in other states after the attorney general announced he would not pursue the case. The high-level intraparty divide — illustrating the rapid spread of the gay-marriage debate into America’s conservative heartland — came four days after a federal judge in Louisville gave Kentucky 21 days to implement a ruling that overturned a ban on recognizing same-sex unions. Voters overwhelmingly approved the ban in 2004. Attorney General Jack Conway choked up with emotion at a news conference announcing he would not appeal the ruling. “I would be defending discrimination,” Conway said. “That I will not do.” Minutes later, Beshear said in a written statement that the potential for “legal chaos is real” if a delay is not granted while the case is appealed. He noted that litigation over gay marriage is pending in many other states and said the issue ultimately should be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Unless the judge’s order is stayed by a higher court, Kentucky will have to allow same-sex couples married outside the state to change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of a married couple in Kentucky. “Employers, health care providers, governmental agencies and others faced with changing rules need a clear and certain roadmap,” Beshear said. “Also, people may take action based on this decision only to be placed at a disadvantage should a higher court reverse the decision.” The statement said Beshear would not comment further Tuesday. U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn said in an opinion issued Feb. 12 that Kentucky’s ban on recognizing same-sex marriages violated the Constitution’s equalprotection clause in the 14th Amendment because it treated “gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them.” The decision arose from a lawsuit filed by two couples who were married in other states or countries over the past 10 years and sought to force Kentucky to recognize their unions. Heyburn’s ruling does not require the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples; that is the subject of a separate lawsuit in which Heyburn expects to rule by this summer. Heyburn is among several federal judges who have issued rulings in support of samesex marriage since the Supreme Court’s decision in Windsor v. U.S. in June that struck down part of the federal anti-gay-marriage law. The latest state ruling came last week in Texas. Two of the rulings — striking down same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma — are being appealed to a federal appeals court in Denver. On Tuesday, a group of Republicans came out in support of legalizing gay marriage in those states, arguing that allowing same-sex unions is consistent with the Western conservative values of freedom and liberty once championed by Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater. The group, which filed a brief with the Denver appeals court, includes former Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas. Seventeen states and Washington, D.C., allow same-sex marriage. Democratic attorneys general in at least seven states — Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada and now Kentucky — have declined to defend same-sex-marriage bans that have been challenged in court by gay couples. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week that his state counterparts are not obligated to defend state laws banning same-sex marriage if they believe the laws violate the U.S. Constitution. Conway, who said he consulted with Beshear and state lawmakers, said he prayed over his decision. “In the end, this issue is really larger than any single person and it’s about placing people above politics,” Conway said. “For those who disagree, I can only say that I am doing what I think is right.” Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, assailed the attorney general. “Jack Conway took an oath to uphold the constitution and the laws of Kentucky, not undermine them through indifference driven by his personal ideology,” Perkins said. “Does Mr. Conway possess some mysterious knowledge and understanding that 75 percent of Kentucky voters who approved the marriage amendment don’t have?” Laura Landenwich, who represents several of the plaintiffs in the case, called Beshear’s move “a political stunt designed to cull favor” for any future run for office. He is not eligible to run for governor in 2015 because of term limits. 60486283 Kentucky’s top Democrats divided by gay marriage �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2014 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Hosmer, Perez homer in Royals’ win SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez each homered off Johnny Cueto and drove in three runs, helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-5 Tuesday. Hosmer hit a three-run homer as the Royals batted around in a five-run third that included consecutive triples by Billy Butler and Alex Gordon. “You’ve got to love Arizona,” Hosmer said. “That’s about 30 percent my power and 70 percent Arizona. I got a good piece of it, but Arizona might have helped it out a little bit. You want to work good at-bats and as a team I think we did that today, so it was productive.” Perez went 3 for 3, with a home run in the second, RBI double in the third and a run-scoring single in the fifth. Ryan Ludwick and Todd Frazier hit back-to-back homers as the Reds batted in a four-run first off left-hander Danny Duffy. The Royals committed two errors in the inning, and Duffy had a wild pitch and hit a batter. STARTING TIME Reds: Cueto, who won 19 games in 2012 but was restricted to 11 starts last year after three stints on the disabled list with a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle, threw eight pitches in a flawless first. He struck out four of his first nine batters, then allowing four consecutive extra-base hits with two out in the third inning. He allowed six runs and threw 58 pitches in 2 2-3 innings. “The first two innings were more like the Johnny we’re used to seeing,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “He did a lot of things we like to see. We would have liked to have had a better result in the third.” Royals: Duffy, trying to earn a rotation slot, threw 31 pitches in the first but only nine in a perfect second. He also took a Chris Heisey line drive off his right shin that caromed to Hosmer at first. “I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself, trying to make this team,” Duffy said. “With the numbers I put up today, it’s never good. But 95 percent of the time, if I throw the way I did today I’m going to put up zeroes. The first inning I thought I threw just as well as I did my second inning.” See ROYALS | 8 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama senior Kane Roush, middle, receives his third place medal on the podium Saturday at the 2014 WVSSAC Wrestling Championships held in Huntington, W.Va. Wahama grapplers finish 12th at state By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Things stayed the same, but they have changed. The Wahama wrestling program is still in search of its elusive first state champion, but the White Falcons earned even more respect throughout the state this weekend at the 65th annual Class AA-A WVSSAC Wrestling Championships held at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The White Falcons had high hopes for an individual title this weekend, all of which fell apart Friday night in a pair of semifinal matches involving seniors Jacob Bennett and Kane Roush. Bennett suffered a pinfall loss to eventual champion Jacob Hart of Independence in the 126 weight class, while Roush dropped a 4-3 decision to eventual champion Marquis Frazier of Greenbrier West in the 170-pound division. Both grapplers rebounded nicely on Saturday, however, as Roush went 2-0 to finish third overall and Bennett went 1-1 to place fifth. Roush and Bennett ended the weekend with respective records of 4-1 and 3-2. Senior Randale Robie also battled back from an early loss in the 132-pound weight class to finish third overall with a 5-1 record. Robie’s lone setback - a 6-4 decision - came to eventual runner-up Dustin Yoakum of Greenbrier West. A fourth qualifier — junior Demetrius Serevicz — also went 2-2 in the 195 division, helping the White Falcons to a 14-6 overall team record. WHS also finished 12th in the final AA-A standings with 61 points. After an up-and-down three days of work, Wahama coach Ryan Russell acknowledged both the frustration and the satisfaction that this state tournament ended up becoming. “We were hoping for a state champion this weekend, but some times things just aren’t meant to be,” Russell said. “With that, I really cannot complain after the way our three seniors bounced back. Two placed third and another was fifth, and our underclassman was one match away from the podium. That’s pretty good for a team with five wrestlers.” Independence captured the Class AA-A crown with a winning tally of 181 points, while Oak Glen (118.5) edged out Greenbrier West (118) for second place by one-half of a point. Clay County (98.5) was fourth out of 42 scoring teams, while Fairmont Senior and Calhoun County tied for fifth with 95.5 points. Wahama had its best finish at the state level a year ago when it placed 10th overall with 67 points. The White Falcons also had four top-six efforts at that event. Roush becomes the first four-time state qualifier and four-time podium finisher in program history, as well as the only WHS grappler to compete in a state championship match. Roush placed second at 152 pounds during the 2012 tournament. Robie and Bennett complete their third and second trips to the state meet, respectively, while Serevicz also wrapped up his second trip to the state meet. Robie also placed fifth a year ago at 126 pounds. It’s tough to watch such an instrumental group of wrestlers complete their prep careers, but he also notes that their impact will benefit the future of the program. “When we go places to compete, people know who Wahama is now. That’s a big start,” Russell said. “We are best known for football and baseball, but we are starting to show people that we can get it done on the mat too. “As always, it’s tough to say goodbye to seniors — especially these guys. Hopefully they go on do big things and come back some day to take my job and guide us to even better things as a program.” Dalton George (132) of Williamstown was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler for the 2014 Class AA-A tournament.

Point places 6th at AAA wrestling meet By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — No titles, so history will have to do. Despite not winning an individual state crown for the first time in a decade, Point Pleasant still set a school record for points at the Class AAA level this weekend during the 65th annual WVSSAC Wrestling Championships held at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The Big Blacks had one runner-up and six podium finishes en route to a program-best 107 points, which ultimately landed PPHS sixth place in the final standings. Huntington claimed the Class AAA crown with 188 points, followed by runner-up Parkersburg with 151 points. Parkersburg South (132), George Washington (110.5) and Wheeling Park (110) rounded out the top five spots in the Class AAA field, which had 33 different schools score at least one point over the three-day event. Point Pleasant ended the weekend with a combined 27-21 overall mark from a dozen individual qualifiers, half of which went on to earn top-five finishes in their respective weight classes. The sixth-place finish also tied last year’s effort — which led to the previous record of 101 team points — as the highest placement for a PPHS squad at the AAA championships. In fact, PPHS sat fifth in the team standings headed into the final match of the weekend - the heavyweight bout between David Smith of George Washington and Nigale Cabell of Huntington. Smith scored a pinfall win over Cabell, which vaulted GWHS from sixth to fourth in the final standings. “We had a good weekend and put ourselves in position to finish top-five, and it came down to the very last match to change that,” fifth-year PPHS coach John Bonecutter said. “We set school records for points and state placers at a triple-A tournament, and that’s not a bad year — even by our standards. The kids wrestled well and I’m proud of them.” In Point’s lone championship match, sophomore Tannor Hill was pinned by Ryan Carson of Lewis Point Pleasant junior Jon Peterson, right, leaps to gain leverage on Woodrow Wilson opponent Chris Worley during the Class AAA 182-pound quarterfinal match held Friday in Huntington, W.Va. County in 3:04 of the 195-pound final. Hill trailed 2-0 and then suffered what appeared to be a mild shoulder separation midway through the match, which greatly hampered his strength later on. Carson took advantage of the opportunity less than a minute later and claimed the 195 crown. See MEET | 8 Brazil has 99 days to get ready for World Cup SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil is running out of time. World Cup organizers will mark 99 days to go on Wednesday with a lot of work still to be done on stadiums and infrastructure in the 12 host cities. As national teams enter their final phase of preparations — a series of warm-up matches are scheduled for this week — the Brazilian government is trying to ensure the country will be ready to host the tournament in June. Although Brazil had nearly seven years to prepare after winning the bid to host the tournament in 2007, there are four stadiums still under construction and work outside many of the venues is far from completed. Doubts also remain about whether the cities will be able to host the fanfests required by FIFA. Airports likely won’t have all the work completed either, and many of the urban projects initially expected to be ready for the World Cup won’t be finalized until after the event. There will be a few events marking the 100-day point across Brazil on Tuesday, with some of the host cities lighting up traditional buildings in the colors of the Brazilian flag to commemorate the date. But work will continue as officials admit there is no time to waste. Brazil promised all 12 stadiums would be ready by the end of last year, but only six were completed by that deadline. Two may be ready less than a month before the World Cup begins, including the one hosting the opener between Brazil and Croatia in Sao Paulo. FIFA expected the Itaquerao to be ready in mid-April, but FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said last week the venue would not be ready “before the 15th of May.” The other venue with a tight schedule is in the southern city of Curitiba, which until a few weeks ago was in danger of being dropped from the tournament. Local organizers said they believe the stadium will be ready by the end of April, but FIFA expects it to be finalized only in mid-May.

Royals From Page 6 CHALLENGE COORDINATORS Bill Duplissea and Cody Clark will be the Royals’ replay coordinators. Duplissea has been the Royals bullpen catcher the past eight years.

The game Wednesday against the Diamondbacks will be the first of five Royals’ spring training games where the replay challenge will be tested. TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: Second baseman Omar Infante, who has missed five games with a sore right shoulder, will likely be a designated hitter Wednesday. Right-hander Louis Coleman, who has yet to pitch because of a bruised right finger, threw batting practice with no problems. Reds: Right-hander Mat Latos, who underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery last month, is to throw his first bullpen session Wednesday. ESCOBAR RETURNS Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar, who has been on a paternity leave and has yet to play this season, is back. “We’ll give him a day or two to get his feet back on the ground and get going,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. Meet John Sleezer | Kansas City Star | MCT photo From Page 6 Hill finished the weekend with a 3-1 overall mark and was one of three Big Blacks to lose just one match over the three-day span. Point Pleasant also had nine of its 12 grapplers earn at least one victory at the state level. Senior John Raike (132) and junior Jon Peterson (182) each finished third in their respective divisions with matching 4-1 records, while senior Guy Fisher (126) and junior Jacob Duncan (220) ended the weekend with respective marks of 3-2 and 4-2. Senior Kinneson Leslie also placed fifth overall in the 106-pound weight class with a 4-2 overall mark. Austin Rutter (152), Hunter White (160) and Grant Safford (170) also earned at least one point apiece for Point Pleasant. It was the final weekend of matches for seniors John Raike, Guy Fisher and Kinneson Leslie with the Big Blacks. Reymond and fellow senior Josh Hudson also missed the postseason due to injuries. “It’s been a season full of ups and downs. We lost Brycen (Reymond) for the year and battled through other injuries midseason, but we also had a lot of kids step it up,” Bonecutter said. “I’m very proud of the effort and the determination that these kids gave to get us back to this point this weekend. “It’s always difficult to lose seniors, and those guys are no different. They are a special group of kids. With that said, we have nine of these guys coming back next year — so we do have some expectations for next season.” Trapper Hays (152) of Parkersburg was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler for the 2014 Class AAA tournament. Complete results of the 2014 WVSSAC Wrestling Championships are available on the web at wvmat.com Sprint Cup Series driver Kurt Busch walks to the garage after hitting the wall during a practice session on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013, at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. Kurt Busch to try Indy 500-Coca Cola 600 double CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It’s been 10 years since a driver last attempted running both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, a feat so grueling that only Tony Stewart has successfully completed all 1,100 miles. Now Kurt Busch wants to give “the double” a try and he will have cars capable of winning both races. He said Tuesday he will attempt to make the Indianapolis 500 in a fifth entry for Andretti Autosport. Should he make the May 25 race, Busch would then fly to Charlotte Motor Speedway to fulfill his full-time job with Stewart-Haas Racing — a team co-owned by Stewart — in NASCAR’s longest event of the year. “I’m a fan of motorsports, a student of motorsports, and I view this as a challenge for myself,” Busch said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Memorial Day weekend, the central focus of all motorsports is Monaco, Indianapolis and Charlotte and this is a tremendous opportunity to be right in the middle of it.” Only John Andretti, Stewart and Robby Gordon have attempted the “double,” and no driver has tried since Gordon in 2004. “Welcome to the club!” Gordon posted on his Twitter account. Stewart, Busch’s new co-owner at Stewart-Haas, is the only driver to complete the double. He did it in his second and final attempt, in 2001, when he finished sixth at Indy and third at Charlotte. An Indiana native who grew up dreaming of winning the Indianapolis 500, Stewart long ago abandoned that goal and passed on an offer last year from Roger Penske to drive one of his cars in the 2013 Indianapolis 500. But Stewart has given Busch his blessing. “It’s a great opportunity for Kurt and I fully support him,” Stewart said Tuesday. “He’ll have a lot to learn in a short amount of time, but he has an overwhelming amount of driving talent on his side. He has a great car owner with Michael An- dretti, who’s not only an owner, but he’s been a driver too. “Michael has so much to offer Kurt in terms of knowledge and firsthand experience. It really seems like a natural pairing.” Busch’s attempt comes at a much different time than when Gordon and Stewart last tried to run both races. Social media didn’t exist a decade ago, and Busch plans to utilize every avenue possible to let fans follow along with his attempt. On Tuesday, he even launched a website — www.kurtbuschdouble. com — that is expected to chronicle his efforts. “I think this is something that is good for NASCAR, good for IndyCar, good for the fans to get behind and really feel like they are part of,” Busch said. “There was no social media, or the means for fans to get an in-depth look at what goes into the double when the others tried it. We think we’ve got an opportunity to make people feel like they are part of the experience with me.” Cup From Page 6 There is also concern with the wetlands city of Cuiaba, where the stadium is not ready and work outside the venue seems far from complete. Infrastructure work in the surroundings of nearly all the stadiums is also a reason for concern. Even where the stadium has already been finalized, it’s com- mon to find construction sites filled with workers rushing to finish sidewalks, pave access roads and install lighting posts. “We have to work in conditions where the cement is not even dry (and) we already put things in place,” Valcke said. “There is no criticism, there is just a challenge. For sure the stadiums are beautiful. It will work and you will have what you expected.” Equipping a stadium to World Cup working standards requires 90 days, so FIFA and local organizers will have to start installing temporary structures needed for media and sponsors while construction work continues outside the venues. Another FIFA concern is with the fanfests, which allows fans without tickets to watch matches on large screens in public areas. The events are required by FIFA, but some host cities have yet to confirm whether they will organize the street parties. FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil said this month that football’s governing body could sue the venues that breach contract. The northeastern city of Recife announced recently that it will not spend public money on the event and is currently scrambling to find private partners. Rio de Ja- neiro officials also say they need to find sponsors to make sure they can organize the event. A recent poll has showed there has never been less support than now among Brazilians for hosting this year’s World Cup. Many are frustrated with the billions spent to host the tournament, money they would rather see spent to improve hospitals, schools and infrastructure. CLASSIFIEDS - Continued from Page A7.

(AP) — Standing at first base, Chris Rahl realized he was probably destined to become the answer to a trivia question. “It’s kind of funny. I was thinking, ‘Is this the first one?’” the Minnesota runner said Monday. Indeed it was, the first call to be reviewed under Major League Baseball’s expanded replay system. MLB has expanded replay this year beyond potential home runs and boundary calls. This season, most every play except for balls-and-strikes is subject to a review, with calls coming from a replay booth in New York. For this Toronto-Twins spring training game, the replay booth was a satellite truck outside the ballpark. The umpires rotated between the field and booth, becoming familiar with the system. In the sixth inning, Toronto manager John Gibbons used his challenge. Wednesday, March 5, 2014 CINCINNATI (AP) — The first-place cushion that No. 15 Cincinnati enjoyed for most of the season has eroded. The Bearcats head into the final week needing two more wins to get the first American Athletic Conference title. And that means getting their offense in order. Fast. The Bearcats (24-5, 133) have lost three of their last five games, including each of the past two. They’re tied for first place with No. 11 Louisville (245, 13-3) with two games left. Both have tough finishes. One stumble could decide it all. “Playing for a conference championship in your last two games, that’s big,” coach Mick Cronin said before practice on Tues- He asked umpires for a review after Rahl was called safe when shortstop Munenori Kawasaki’s throw pulled Jared Goedert off the first base bag. First base umpire Fieldin Culbreth said Gibbons told him: “I’m not too sure that you’re not right here, but since we haven’t done it before, let’s go take a look.” Culbreth responded: “OK. That’s what it’s for.” The umpires gathered in front of the first base dugout while umpire Brian O’Nora watched the replays. After a wait of 2 minutes, 34 seconds, first base umpire Fieldin Culbreth spread his hands in the safe sign. In the eighth inning, Doug Bernier of the Twins was called safe at first. As Culbreth studied the replay from the truck, the ballpark sound system played a Rolling Stones song with the familiar lyric, “I can’t get no satisfaction.” day. “Then you go to the conference tournament that’s one-and-out, and the NCAA tournament is oneand-out. “So you’ve got to be sharp this time of year or it’s going to cost you. There’s a lot on the line each night out.” It’s likely the last time Cincinnati and Louisville — longtime rivals in various conferences — will compete against each other for a conference title. The Cardinals head to the ACC next season. They split their season series, each winning on the other’s home court. Cincinnati finishes at home on Thursday against No. 20 Memphis and at Rutgers on Saturday. Louisville is at No. 18 Southern Methodist (23-6, 12-4) and at home against No. 19 Connecticut. If both of the Ohio River rivals stumble, SMU could move in and take the title. The Bearcats won 6953 at Memphis on Jan. 11, part of a 15-game winning streak that vaulted them into the top 10. The rematch comes on the night when the Bearcats honor senior starters Sean Kilpatrick, Titus Rubles and Justin Jackson. Those three helped rebuild the program into a consistent NCAA tournament team, so it’ll be an emotional final game at home. “I’m still kind of lost for words,” Kilpatrick said Tuesday. “It probably won’t hit me until after the game, maybe a little before when I’m crying a little bit.” James scores 61, setting career-high and Heat-best MIAMI (AP) — An hour after what he called the best regularseason game he’s ever played, LeBron James simply explained why this performance was like none other. The basketball, he said, felt small as a golf ball. The basket, to him, looked as wide as the ocean. Best player in the game. Best game of his career. James rewrote his record book Monday night, etched his name a few different times in Miami Heat annals as well, and let the NBA know in crystal-clear terms that his MVP award won’t be ceded without a fight this season. He scored 61 points, setting career- and franchise-bests, as the Heat topped the Charlotte Bobcats 124-107. “A surreal feeling for me right now,” James said. With good reason. He made 22 of his 33 field-goal tries, becoming just the third player in the past 25 years to take that many shots and make at least two-thirds of them, with only Alex English and Shaquille O’Neal on that list. James set a career-high for field goals made, plus Heat records for points in a quarter (25) and a half (37). And of all his feats on Monday, the most impressive might have been how he started 8 for 8 from 3-point range. “The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball,” James said before the Heat flew to Houston for a game there Tuesday. “I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go.” Glen Rice scored 56 to set the Heat record on April 15, 1995, against Orlando. James’ previous career best had been 56 points, on March 20, 2005, for Cleveland against Toronto. This outing was much better, James said. Not because 61 tops 56 — but because the night he scored 56, his Cavaliers lost. “Phenomenal, amazing, stupendous … he reminds me of me,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said afterward in an overjoyed locker room. James had 24 points at halftime, then added 25 in the third quarter. The record-breaker came with 5:46 left, when James spun through and around three defenders for a layup that fell as he tumbled to the court. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra walked into his postgame news conference with a confession: He nearly took James out after the third quarter. He didn’t. Good call. “He was in a great groove, obviously,” Spoelstra said. Here’s how good James was on this night: Al Jefferson finished with 38 points and 19 rebounds for the Bobcats, making him just the fourth player in the past six seasons to put up a stat line like that. No one noticed. “You take away his 61 points,” Jefferson said, “and we still had a fighting chance there at the end.” Yes, even the Bobcats were marveling at James. He was hitting from everywhere, even a 3-pointer from about 30 feet — Spoelstra joked it was from 40 — late in the third quarter, as the crowd roared and the Heat bench jumped with joy. “Yeah, that was a designed play,” Spoelstra deadpanned. “We’ve been working on that one for a while.” That was the moment, James said, when he knew he was in the midst of a special night. “I felt pretty good in the first half but halftime can always kind of derail things and slow things up,” James said. “But I was able to get things going once again in the third quarter and I knew it could be one of those nights.” Not “one of those nights.” Even for James, this was like no other. “Once he sniffed 60, we knew he was going for it,” Heat forward Shane Battier said. “And the amazing part is the efficiency. Good Lord. Sixty-one on 33 shots, that’s Wilt Chamberlainesque. That’s pretty amazing. Incredible performance.” When James checked out with 1:24 left, the entire Heat roster met him near midcourt for highfives and hugs, and the sellout crowd gave him a standing ovation. A second huge roar followed when he waved to the crowd, as “M-V-P” chants rained down. “If he’s going to shoot the ball like that from that range, there’s nobody that’s going to beat them,” Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. Miami was without guard Dwyane Wade, who got a night off to rest. Spoelstra stressed there’s been no setback for Wade, who has been on a knee-maintenance program throughout this season and is averaging 23.5 points on 62 percent shooting since the AllStar break. Wade probably didn’t mind sitting for this one. It gave him a courtside seat for the show. James made three 3-pointers in the first 7 minutes of the quarter — he was 6 for 6 from beyond the arc at that point — and when Charlotte bit on his head fake from the top of the key, James coolly found Toney Douglas to set up another 3. A tip-in by James followed not long afterward and just like that, the lead was up to 83-63. Charlotte scored the next six points, but any notion that the game was slipping from Miami’s control was quickly extinguished. James scored the next six himself, a pair of three-point plays to restore the 20-point edge and give him 43 points, already a season high. All that was left to see was what he’d finish with. The answer was history. James has been asked plenty of times in recent weeks about the MVP race, especially with many prognosticators suggesting the trophy is likely headed to Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant.
