Following an application from Fred Hoffman for a grants writing and economic development position in the village late last fall, council has had numerous discussions about whether the village needs such a position and the additional expense it incurs. Currently, grants are being successfully written by employees as they apply to their respective fields of responsibility for the village. Council has, over the past two months, considered the pros and cons of the issue as to whether a position, such as Hoffman has applied for, is of sufficient ben- efit to the village to warrant the additional cost of another village employee. Susan Baker, village financial officer, at a meeting earlier this month suggested that if such a position is created, then to reduce the cost, council might consider using an independent contractor to perform the services of grant administration and economic development. Council, at its Feb. 24 meeting, was in agreement for Baker to write up a possible public notice for use in soliciting bids for such a contract position and present it to Council See ISSUE | 3 Pomeroy Council approves pay raises By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel John Tannehill and his son, Soren, play an exhibition game at the Syracuse Community Center.

See RAISES | 3 By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com SYRACUSE — “It takes lots of time and effort, and lots of support,” John Tannehill said last Sunday when speaking briefly at the Syracuse Community Center, where he put on an ping pong exhibition with his son, Soren, at the invitation of the center’s board of directors. The graduate of Middleport High School was playing table tennis before he became a teenager, and with his father’s support and advice that he could “do anything he wanted to do if he worked at it,” he quickly rose to professional status. In brief comments Sunday, he talked about the time, effort and hours he put into practice and the support he received. His father, Chet Tannehill, who was managing editor at Ohio Valley Publishing Co. for many years, drove his son to Columbus every weekend, where he honed his skills in table tennis with support of others who recognized his talent. A highlight of his career came in 1969 when he earned a spot on the U.S. World Team that competed in a tournament in China in 1972. It was just one of his many accomplishments in the world of table tennis. In 2005, he was inducted into the Table Tennis Hall of Fame. He still competes in area tournaments. About 70 people gathered Sunday in the Community Center’s gymnasium to watch the two Tannehills play the game. Joy Bentley introduced Tannehill to the audience and called the scores for the exhibition between the two. A display board featured newspaper articles written over the years. Middleport Mayor Mike Gerlach presented a certificate of appreciation and recognition from the village where Tannehill spent his early years. A reception honoring him and a time for greeting local acquaintances concluded the afternoon. Meigs High School students who qualified to participate in the regional SkillsUSA competition at Marietta were Jordyn Arnold, Samantha Loar, Chastity Abbott, Keely Mankin, Victoria Walker, Jordan Holman, Tiffany Withrow, Kyle Johnson, Summer Atkinson, David Davis, Kwesi Lane, Travis Kimes, Olivia Lane, Kelsey Hudson, Sariah Brinker, and Kaylee Rowe. Middleport Mayor Mike Gerlach presents a certificate to John Tannehill, a native of Middleport, in recognition of his table tennis achievements. About 70 people, early acquaintances or just interested in table tennis, attending Sunday’s event.

Welsh Heritage Days to feature eisteddfod, celebrate culture Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com RIO GRANDE — From the legendary Bob Evans to the beautiful scenic byways, Welsh heritage and culture are woven into the fabric of life throughout southeastern Ohio and the region. Among the great Welsh traditions is the eisteddfod, a festival of literature, music and performance dating back to the 12th century. Such tradition will See HERITAGE | 3 �Wednesday, March 12, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Voting on Ohio Beef checkoff increase under way POMEROY — The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association has initiated a referendum to increase Ohio’s Beef Checkoff from $1 to $2 per head. Ballots for voting on the issue, which can be filled out and mailed in to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, are currently available at the Meigs County Extension Office. Voting by mail is under way with in-person voting set for March 18-20 at the Ohio Department of Agriculture and County Extension offices. Ballots for voting by mail must be postmarked by March 20 and are available on the OCA website at www.ohiocattle.org; or can be picked up at county extension offices. Eligible voters must have marketed cattle subject to the assessment in the 2013 calendar year. There is no minimum age for voting, which means 4-H and FFA members who have marketed cattle in 2013 are also eligible to vote. OCA supports the work of the Ohio Beef Council that invests checkoff dollars to build beef demand and believes increasing those shrinking resources is the right thing to do for the future of Ohio’s beef industry. OCA has initiated the referendum because the beef council, by law, cannot advocate for a checkoff increase, although OCA will not benefit Ohio governor proposes tax, education changes By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Gov. John Kasich rolled out an ambitious election-year policy document Tuesday that delivers a promised income-tax cut through increases in tobacco and other taxes, and streamlines government offerings for jobseekers and the poor. The fate of the Republican governor’s plan is uncertain. Lawmakers he will ask to approve the measure face particularly competitive elections this year. Testimony was set to begin on the bill Wednesday in the GOP-led Ohio House’s powerful Ways & Means Committee. Kasich, who also faces re-election this fall, proposes reducing Ohio income taxes by 8.5 percent over the next three years, which would lower the top tax rate to 4.88 percent by 2016. The administration estimates that would mean a cumulative tax savings from 2011 to 2016 of about $350 for a medianincome couple with two kids. The bill also increases Ohio’s earned-income tax credit from 5 to 15 percent, and raises the personal income tax exemption allowed by low- and middle-income taxpayers. The nearly $2.2 billion reduction would be made up for through increases in taxes on commercial activity, cigarettes and drilling. Kasich said cutting income taxes and improving education and training are already proving beneficial. from increasing the checkoff. The mission of OCA is very different from the mission of the Ohio Beef Council. Checkoff funds cannot be used to influence policy issues. That is solely OCA’s role. Today, the existing checkoff dollar purchases only 44 cents of what it did when the checkoff began in 1985. The checkoff is also receiving less money as cattle numbers have declined to the lowest point since 1952. Just $1 more will increase the budget 300 percent, from $305,000 to approximately $900,000 and yet it will still remain one of the smallest checkoffs by amount and value of the commodity. And the additional $1 will be refundable, should a producer want to request a refund. Ohio is not the first state to propose an increase as several other populous states have already approved checkoff increases or are in the process of holding a referendum to increase their in-state checkoff, according to a release from Meigs Extension Agent Michelle Stumbo. All of the additional money will stay in Ohio to support beef demand building programs. These consumers are looking for answers about where their food comes from, how it is produced, and if it is safe and nutritious. These additional funds will not be used for administrative purposes or to hire new staff, but invested in reaching consumers with beef messages and to counter activists and anti-meat groups. They will fund programs including farm tours for health professionals, chefs, food writers and bloggers who influence how others think about beef. And they will extend beef’s presence in Ohio classrooms and help market beef to millennial parents, the next generation of beef consumers. For more information on the Ohio Beef Checkoff referendum contact the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association at (614) 873-6736 or visit www.ohiocattle.org. League, met with council again to discuss use of the football field, which is a part of the old Middleport school property currently under consideration for transfer to the Meigs County Council on Aging. Tentative plans by the agency, if the property is obtained, is for development of an all-age inclusive community center. She again expressed concern for the 400 or so children who use the football field, and the parents who support and maintain the field and facility once the transfer has been made. The league has a lease on the property until 2016 She asked council to “give the football field to the kids,” or if not to allow the league to purchase it for up to $10,000. She said that the senior citizens have other uses planned for the field and that the league wants exclusive use. It was generally agreed by Mayor Michael Gerlach and council members that having the field used as it is now is “great for the town,” It was suggested that the league lawyer confer with council attorneys handling the potential transfer about procedures and specifications. Gerlach was emphatic in responding to Pullins when he said, “We want the football field to be available for use when you need it.” In other business, Manley proposed that the old village hall property in downtown Middleport be put up for sale. Council voted to proceed with seeking a buyer. He also suggested that downtown might look better if the Community Association put something in the windows. In response, one of the members attending the meeting said they had tried that once and building owners were not anxious to give access. The status of a contract with Salisbury Township for fire protection from the Middleport Fire Department was discussed and it was noted that no resolution has been made on the amount to be paid to the village. Chief Jeff Darst will be asked to come to the next council meeting to further discuss the matter. A resident meeting with council to discuss a water billing problem and to request a possible refund caused by mailing bills to the wrong address was referred to the water department for some resolution. Issue From Page 1 It was presented at Monday night’s meeting and received an immediate response from Councilman Roger Manley, who objected to the job description “independent contractor” and asked it be changed to “grants writer/economic development” so that the person hired would be a regular employee of the village. After some discussion, by a 4-2 vote, council voted to hire a village grants writer/economic development person for 20 hours per month. Voting in favor of the motion were Manley, Penny Burge, Sharon Older and Doug Dixon. Voting against it were Richard Vaughan, who said he could go along with the contract position but not another village employee, and Emerson Heighton. The clerk, on the basis of the vote, said she would prepare the required ordinance for hiring an employee for a new position and present it to the council for a reading at the March 24 meeting. Sarah Pullins, on behalf of the Big Bend Youth Football Raises From Page 1 According to council discussions, the rate increases will bring Pomeroy’s wages closer to that of other villages in the region. The goal is to pay a competitive wage to retain employees. The ordinance passed 5-0 Monday, with council member Vic Young not in attendance. Also approved was the third reading of Ordinance 765, which provides for a pay increase for the village solicitor and magistrate. The ordinance increases the pay for both positions to $600 per month. The rate has been $500 per month for several years, according to council discussion The ordinance was approved by a 5-0 vote. Also during Monday’s meeting, Christina Munn and Fred Holmes, of Volun- teer Energy, presented the village with a community reinvestment check for $863.52. This is a direct result of the gas program approved by voters a few years ago. Each year, Volunteer Energy donates a portion back to the villages involved. Holmes also asked if the village was interested in putting the electric aggregation back on the budget. Council was mixed on their opinion of the matter. Parks committee chairman Phil Ohlinger said that the committee had met with Jim Smith, chairman of the Beech Grove (Mulberry) Pond, to discuss possible grants. Also discussed was the potential to add a shelter house at the site and an aerator for the pond. Exercise equipment provided by Meigs County Health Department’s Jo- seph Verdier will be placed along the walking path as soon as weather permits. No smoking signs have also been provided through the grant program for placement around the village. Leak insurance was discussed as presented by Village Administrator Paul Hellman. He stated that people currently have the option to pay $25 for up to $300 in insurance in case of a leak. Under the new plan, residents would have the option to purchase insurance in the following increments: $25 for $300, $50 for $600 and $75 for $900. The village will be looking into applying for the critical infrastructure grant in the amount of $300,000 to be used on West Main Street. The village is also considering application for the CDBG grant. Both ap- plications are due April 7. The chlorine smell in the water was discussed, with Hellman stating that levels are tested at two locations daily and remain below the approved levels.

This is not just because of the numerous basic science mistakes made by the senators. Scientists are also concerned that most of the media and public will fail to realize that many of the senators’ absolute assertions are simply science fiction. The senators repeatedly argued that the science of climate change is “settled.” Scientists supposedly know with certainty that our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing a climate crisis. There is no need to further investigate the validity of the theory or to consider alternative evidence. We must take action to stop the unfolding human-caused climate catastrophe, the senators asserted. Like children frightening each other with ghost stories, senators seemed to be competing for the most alarming forecasts of ecodisaster. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., easily took first place with his warning that, “The science proves there is a danger … The planet is running a fever but there are no emergency rooms for planets.” Professors Chris Essex (University of Western Ontario) and Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph) classify this sort of remark as part of the “Doctrine of Certainty” that has ruined the climate debate. In their book “Taken by Storm,” they explain, “The Doctrine is a collection of nowfamiliar assertions made about climate, all of which must be accepted without question.” If one dares question the doctrine, the reaction from true believers is immediate — you are a denier, an enemy of nature, a pawn of big oil and you must be silenced. The senators did not even consider the possibility that, as Essex and McKitrick say, “The doctrine is not true. Each assertion is either manifestly false or the claim to know is false”. Besides the Democratic senators who took part in Monday night’s event, America’s leading “Doctrine of Certainty” campaigners include former Vice-President Al Gore, Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barak Obama himself. Following Obama’s assertion in January’s State of the Union address that “the debate is settled,” Kerry told Indonesians last month that the science backing what he called “the greatest threat that the planet has ever seen” is “something that we understand with absolute assurance of the veracity of that science.” In reality, trying to unravel the causes and consequences of climate change is arguably the most complex science ever tackled. Essex and McKitrick explain, “Climate is one of the most challenging open problems in modern science. Some knowledgeable scientists believe that the climate problem can never be solved.” One of the reasons the Senate Task Force can get away with their exaggerations is that the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the U.K.’s Royal Society and other national science bodies are not doing their jobs. Rather than working to help to defeat the anti-science “Doctrine of Certainty” distorting the climate debate, the NAS, RS and others who should know better engage in propaganda, making absolute assertions concerning topics about which we have little knowledge. The NAS/RS report, “Climate Change: Evidence & Causes,” released on Feb. 27, is a prime example. In it there appear numerous unfounded assertions that cannot be supported by science. For example, they said, “If the The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Reports such as that of the NAS and RS provide political cover for developed country politicians to bring in draconian and unnecessary CO2 regulations, regulations that are destroying their most important source of electric power — coal. Ontario has already closed most of its coal stations because of our government’s blind adherence to climate change doctrine. This has led to soaring electricity prices, a major cause of the province’s decline from “have” to “have not” status within Canada. With the Senate Climate Action Task Force’s help, the Obama administration appears determined to do the same in the U.S., ending America’s use of coal, your least expensive and most reliable electricity source. The president and his allies promote wind and solar power, the least reliable and most expensive options available, in the vain belief that this will stop the climate from changing. No one knows if spending billions of dollars revamping your energy infrastructure to appease the climate gods will finally break America’s back. But, there are limits to how many blunders even a great nation can commit and still survive. Let’s not find out if bowing to the climate change “Doctrine of Certainty” is America’s final, fatal mistake. Tom Harris is executive director of the Ottawa, Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition. By Brian J. Trautman For Ohio Valley Publishing The Pentagon’s budget proposal for next year was announced by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. In an interview with The New York Times, Hagel argued that to meet today’s national security needs, the Department of Defense must shift its focus and capabilities away from “fighting grinding ground conflicts” and toward “new arenas of combat.” To achieve these ends, the budget calls for a realignment of the military that would reduce the total number of ground troops to its lowest level since 1940 and discontinue some military equipment deemed obsolete or unnecessary. According to Hagel, current levels of both assets are “larger than we can afford to modernize and keep ready.” The proposed budget also includes reductions in personnel benefits and base services, as well as base closings. The targeted cuts, however, are only one aspect of the budget. The other involves the new sources of priority spending. The budget plan includes a call for greater expenditures on computer-based technologies and special operations. The Nation’s Bob Dreyfuss reports that the “cuts would fund new projects including cyberwarfare capabilities, $1 billion for a more fuel-efficient jet engine, and plans for a new Navy surface ship.” Despite the cuts to traditional aspects of the military, the DoD has no plans to shrink or limit programs that would undermine America’s ever-growing hegemonic objectives. Dreyfuss writes, “Major weapons systems that might have been cut were sustained, the U.S. special forces units are being increased substantially from already high levels” and “the U.S. Navy would maintain all 11 of its aircraft carriers.” According to National Priorities Project, a nonprofit, non-partisan federal budget research organization, even as Hagel is requesting “cutbacks in a number of military programs, the Pentagon isn’t planning any major reductions in spending any time soon.” While the cuts translate to savings in specific areas, “the new Pentagon budget does not project a commensurate decline in spending.” In fact, the United States will continue to carry a defense budget which exceeds that of the next 10 countries combined. In a blog post titled “New War Budget and Strategy Announced by Obama team,” Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, points out that the Pentagon’s approach “actually calls for an increase of more than $115 billion for war making” and “for ‘sustaining’ the Pentagon’s nuclear triad — air, ground and sea delivery systems of nuclear weapons.” Furthermore, this budget would bring about “an increase in drones and robotic forces as well as significant expansion in cyber warfare capabilities.” Gagnon warns that “We will see an expansion of U.S. ‘hidden’ 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.

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. wars in the near future and the Obama budget reflects this reality.” Hagel’s proposal is already receiving pushback from Congress. Most of the criticism has come from lawmakers who financially benefit from the business-asusual paradigm of the military-industrial complex. Many of these politicians represent districts in which a military base is housed, and therefore both they and their districts could be negatively impacted by the cuts. Few lawmakers, though, are directing their criticism at the fundamental reason the budget is unreasonable and unacceptable; it will facilitate many more clandestine missions across the globe, effectively allowing the DoD and the executive branch to be less transparent and accountable to the American people and the international community. The Pentagon’s decision to shift attention to the latest and most deadly technologies should come as no surprise. It is a move that has been in the pipeline for some time, and is already reflected in the deployment of unmanned armed aerial vehicles (e.g., predator drones) and Special Forces or “kill teams.” Why and how these tactics have been implemented over the past decade has been the subject of scrutiny. Among those who have raised moral and legal questions and warned about the implications of these operations is investigative journalist and best-selling author Jeremy Scahill. His most recent book, “Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield,” which was made into a now-Oscar-nominated documentary film, tells the hidden truth behind America’s increasingly covert, privatized, borderless, permanent war machine. With this budget, we should expect much greater use of this machine moving forward. Make no mistake. The Pentagon’s proposal to transform the military is a smoke and mirrors plan. It does not represent a dismantling of the militaryindustrial complex but a chilling morphing of it, and will advance American imperial power and further enrich war profiteers even as it cuts out the troops. Anti-war and peace activists who have long demanded meaningful cuts in the bloated military budget have little to celebrate after Hagel’s deceptive announcement. This budget does not signal a change in U.S. foreign policy or the nation’s perceived or actual role in the world. The justification and implications of the new military budget reveal the frightening reality of the government’s intention to continue its quest for global domination. It once again exposes the true face of American Empire as it develops and employs new ways to control governments and natural resources under the veil of counter-terrorism and national security.

Malaysian military: Missing jet changed course KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The missing Boeing 777 jetliner changed course over the sea, crossed Malaysia and reached the Strait of Malacca — hundreds of miles from its last position recorded by civilian authorities, Malaysian military officials said Tuesday, citing military radar data. The development added confusion and mystery into one of most puzzling aviation incidents of recent time, and it has raised questions about why the Malaysia Airlines flight apparently was not transmitting signals detectable by civilian radar, why its crew was silent about the course change and why no distress calls were sent after it turned back. Many experts have been working on the assumption there was a catastrophic event on the flight — such as an explosion, engine failure, terrorist attack, extreme turbulence, pilot error or even suicide. The director of the CIA said in Washington that he still would not rule out terrorism. Flight MH370, carrying 239 people, took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12:41 a.m. Saturday, bound for Beijing. Authorities initially said its last contact with ground controllers was less than an hour into the flight at a height of 35,000 feet, when the plane was somewhere between the east coast of Malaysia and Vietnam. But local newspaper Berita Harian quoted Malaysia’s air force chief, Gen. Rodzali Daud, as saying that radar at a military base had tracked the jet as it changed its course, with the final signal at 2:40 a.m. showing the plane to be near Pulau Perak at the northern approach to the Strait of Malacca, a busy waterway that separates the western coast of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Sumatra island. It was flying slightly lower, at around 29,528 feet, he said. “After that, the signal from the plane was lost,” he was quoted as saying. A high-ranking military official involved in the investigation confirmed the report. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose sensitive information. Authorities had said earlier the plane may have tried to turn back to Kuala Lumpur, but they expressed surprise it would do so without informing ground control. The search was initially focused hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the east, in waters off Vietnam, with more than 40 planes and ships from at least 10 nations searching the area without finding a trace of the missing aircraft. Earlier Tuesday, Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that search-and-rescue teams had expanded their scope to the Strait of Malacca. An earlier statement said the western coast of Malaysia was “now the focus,” but the airline subsequently said that phrase was an oversight. It didn’t elaborate. Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the search remained “on both sides” of Malaysia. Attention will now likely focus on the condition of the Boeing 777’s electronic systems as it charted its new course back toward and then across Malaysia. A radar antenna on the ground sends electromagnetic waves that reflect from the surface of an aircraft and almost instantly return, allowing controllers to calculate how far away a plane is. The antenna is mounted on a rotating platform, sending and receiving signals 360 degrees across the sky, enabling the plane’s direction to be tracked by constant sweeps. The system has limitations: Military and civilian air traffic controllers know something is moving through the air but might not know what it is. So planes were outfitted with transponders that can send a unique signal back to the radar station, which can differentiate them from other aircraft. From this signal, controllers can tell the flight number, heading, speed and altitude. Radar stations at airports are designed to track planes up to about 60 miles. They are used to help sequence and space landing aircraft. Another series of stations called air route surveillance radar can track planes 200-250 miles away, depending on weather and the age of the technology. Station locations are selected to allow for a slight overlap so planes in heavy-traffic areas are never out of reach of radar. While radar black spots can exist, experts said the plane’s transponders normally would have been emitting signals that would have been picked up by civilian radar. The fact that it apparently wasn’t detected suggests they were either disabled or switched off. Planes with no transponders can still be tracked by radar. Low-flying planes can sometimes avoid radar detection. There is no set height they must be under, but the farther away they are from a radar station, the higher they can be because of the angle of the radar antenna and the curvature of the Earth. Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar, who has been ordered to look at possible criminal aspects in the disappearance of Flight MH370, said hijacking, sabotage and issues related to the pilots’ psychological health were all being considered. An Australian TV station reported that the first officer on the missing plane, Fariq Abdul Hamid, had invited two women into the cockpit during a flight two years ago. One of the women, Jonti Roos, described the encounter on Australia’s “A Current Affair.” Roos said she and a friend were allowed to stay in the cockpit during the entire one-hour flight on Dec. 14, 2011, from Phuket, Thailand, to Kuala Lumpur. She said the arrangement did not seem unusual to the plane’s crew. “Throughout the entire flight, they were talking to us and they were actually smoking throughout the flight,” said Roos, who didn’t immediately reply to a message sent to her via Facebook. The second pilot on the 2011 flight was not identified Malaysia Airlines said it took the allegations very seriously, which it said it was not able to confirm, adding: “We are in the midst of a crisis, and we do not want our attention to be diverted.” BUCK LEON, W.Va. — Fred Luther Buck, 71, of Leon, passed away Sunday, March 9, 2014, at CamdenClark Memorial Hospital in Parkersburg, W.Va., following a long illness The funeral service will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 12, 2014, at Raynes Funeral Home in Buffalo, W.Va.

Bill would raise Ky.’s motor fuels tax rate By Bruce Schreiner Associated Press FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky’s motor fuels tax would rise under a bill advanced Tuesday by a key House committee, which endorsed restoring a higher rate in place last year to generate more revenue for transportation projects statewide. The measure would increase the tax at the pump by 1.5 cents a gallon from the current level, which automatically took effect at the start of 2014. The tax is scheduled to drop another seven-tenths of a cent per gallon on April 1 without the proposed change. The bill, part of a broader revenue measure, would adjust the formula that helps set the tax on sales of gasoline, diesel and ethanol. Gov. Steve Beshear proposed the change in January to supply additional revenue for road and bridge work across the state. The House Appropriations and Revenue Committee endorsed the change Tuesday while passing the revenue measure. “I can’t imagine … how we can keep our roads in any kind condition if we cut that tax,” said Rep. Robert Damron, D-Nicholasville. The bill next goes to the full from the governor’s office. “Overall, the governor is pleased that the committee agrees with his commitment to supporting education, job creation and better health for our citizens,” said Beshear spokeswoman Kerri Richardson, adding that the governor’s office is still reviewing the panel’s changes. Meanwhile, the higher fuel tax in the revenue bill is expected to generate tens of millions more dollars for the state Road Fund. The governor is proposing about $1 billion in road construction projects each year of the two-year budget cycle that begins July 1. Damron said restoring the gas tax to the level in effect three months ago is needed to help keep up with demands for road work. The state’s gas tax is tied to the average wholesale price of motor fuels, allowing it to shift up or down or stay unchanged every three months. As part of the formula, the bill would increase the minimum wholesale price. The current state gas tax is 30.8 cents per gallon. That tax has three components; the largest is the state variable excise tax, which declined by 1.5 cents per gallon this Jan. 1, going from 25.9 cents per gallon to 24.4 cents per gallon. The other two components are fixed. Democratic-run House for a vote that could come as soon as Wednesday. It then would shift to the Republican-led Senate. It’s seen as a companion to the state budget proposal, which the committee also sent to the full House on Tuesday. The proposed $20.3 billion, twoyear state budget closely resembles the governor’s spending recommendations. The House version maintains Beshear’s request to increase the main state funding formula for kindergarten through 12th-grade classrooms. It proposes more funding for textbooks and preschools but at lower amounts than Beshear recommended. It proposes pay raises for state employees, teachers and other school workers. It also goes along with spending cuts across a range of agencies to free up money for schools. The House version also sticks with the governor’s proposed 2.5 percent cut in operating funds for universities and community and technical colleges. It keeps the governor’s proposals for bond-funded construction projects for the universities and colleges.

The win was the third straight for the RedStorm, who improved to 7-11 in the first of three games that they’ll play during a brief Spring Break trip to the Sunshine State. Webber International, a member of the NAIA’s The Sun Conference, slipped to 15-14 with the loss. Ford, a senior right-hander from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, who was making his first start since recovering surgery which forced him to miss all of the 2013 campaign, allowed three hits, four walks and a run through four innings before giving way to Yates. Yates, a sophomore righthander from Chillicothe, Ohio, scattered three hits and a walk, while striking out three over the final five innings to get the win the first of his collegiate career. Rio Grande did all of its offensive damage against WIU starter Rob Lane in the second inning. Freshmen Luis Jimenez (Salinas, Puerto Rico) and Carlos Flores (Guayanilla, P.R.) opened the inning with back-to-back singles, freshman Daryin Lewis (Circleville, OH) bunted both runners into scoring position and Arroyo - a junior from Toa Baja, Puerto Rico - brought both home with a single to right-center to make it 2-0. Arroyo then moved to third on a flyout to right by senior Marcus Makuch (Baltimore, OH) and rode home on a single to center by junior Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada). The Warriors got their only run in the bottom of the fourth when Austin Aubuchon reached on a one-out walk, moved to second on a two-out passed ball and scored on backto-back singles by Dylan Price and Cody Warren. A doublesteal then put the tying runs in scoring position, but Ford got Pedro Fernandez on a grounder to shortstop to end the inning. WIU also put runners at second and third with one out in the fifth against Yates but failed to score and got its leadoff hitter in the ninth on base before a double-play short-circuited any hopes of a late comeback. Jimenez and junior Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) both went 2-for-4 at the plate for Rio. Lane suffered the loss for the Warriors and Ramon Sanchez had two hits in a losing cause for Webber.

Stapleton and the Lady Dragons (22-3) will face Versailles (23-3) in a Division III semifinal at 3 p.m. Friday. Intriguing matchups await at OHSAA girls basketball tourney By Tim Stried OHSAA Director of Infomation Services COLUMBUS, Ohio — Of the 800 high schools in Ohio that play girls basketball, 16 are still practicing as state tournament qualifiers in the 39th Annual OHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament, which tips off Thursday afternoon at Value City Arena inside the Jerome Schottenstein Center. This year marks the 14th year that the state tournament has been held at Value City Arena, the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes. The divisional order of play in 2014 is II, IV, III and I. The Division II and IV semifinals are Thursday, followed by the Division III and I semifinals on Friday. The semifinals are played as double-header sessions beginning at 1 p.m. or 6 p.m., while the championship games on Saturday are separate sessions, with tip times at 10:45 a.m., 2 p.m., 5:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Division I Princeton, which ended the season ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press state poll and beat defending state champion Kettering Fairmont in the regional semifinals, won a state title in 1987 when the Vikings made their only state tournament appearance prior to this weekend. Seventh-ranked Notre Dame Academy is making its third-straight appearance in the Final Four, falling in the semifinals in 2012 and 2013. ND beat fourthranked Wadsworth in the regional final. Like Princeton, Hoover also won a state title in its only previous trip to the state tournament, that coming in 2002. The Vikings were ranked fifth in the final AP state poll. Unranked Coffman is making the first girls basketball state tournament appearance of any of the three Dublin high schools. The Shamrocks beat 10thranked Reynolsburg in the regional finals.

Eastern seniors prepared for return trip to state By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — They have spent a career preparing for this moment. The time has come to show the rest of the Buckeye State what you have collectively learned. Five seniors will wrap up one of the most storied four-year runs in the history of southeastern Ohio girls basketball this weekend when Eastern makes its second consecutive trip to the Division IV OHSAA state tournament at Value City Arena on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. The Lady Eagles have participated in 103 games since the start of the 2010-11 campaign, when Katie Keller, Maddie Rigsby, Jenna Burdette, Jordan Parker and Erin Swatzel all made the jump to varsity basketball as freshmen. Some played more than others that season, but those early experiences help lay the foundation for what the quintet has accomplished since. And it is through those group endeavors that EHS learned how to be successful on the court, by playing together one game at a time. “It’s been a phenomenal run and it’s very hard to explain, but the last couple of years we have just developed a really good chemistry,” Swatzel said. “This year, however, it’s been perfect. We are a family and I think that is what has carries us through.” Eastern (25-1) has amassed an 88-15 overall mark during the last four seasons, which has included four district championships and two regional titles to go along with three Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division crowns — including the program’s first outright and unbeaten league title since 2001 this past winter. The Green and Gold — who went 59-5 in TVC Hocking play over the last four years — also became the first program from southeastern Ohio to ever qualify for the D-4 state tournament a year ago. The OHSAA expanded from three divisions to four divisions during the 1987-88 campaign, which was also the same year that the three-point line was introduced. Although that first-ever trip ultimately ended in a 54-51 semifinal loss to Berlin Hiland, the Lady Eagles also learned that they could keep pace with the best teams in the state. That fact, along with having another year to get better, has Eastern more confident headed into its second trip to the Schottenstein Center. “We are a lot more focused this year. We don’t seem to get nervous like previous years because these are things that we have done before,” Burdette said. “I think our experience and our focus has helped us through the whole thing. We know that if we play our game, we can win.” In earning their second consecutive appearance in Columbus, EHS joins Logan (1991-92) and Sardinia Eastern Brown (2000-02) as the only programs to ever make back-to-back state appearances from the Southeast District. Both the Lady Chieftains and Lady Warriors — respectively led by Katie Smith and Micah Harvey — each finished as a runner-up in their second trips to the state tournament. In fact, the Lady Eagles were the 28th team from the Southeast District to ever qualify for a girls basketball Final Four a year ago. This week, they will be joined by Division III qualifier Proctorville Fairland (22-3) in becoming the 29th and 30th programs to accomplish the feat. For most seniors, finishing a career at state would be the accomplishment of a lifetime. For Eastern, however, it’s just another game while pursuing something a little bigger. It’s also a nice reward for all the hard work that’s been put in over the years. “It’s exciting to know that we have another week of practices and games, but I think we would all agree that we are most thankful to just have another week of playing basketball together,” Keller said. “It’s great to make it to state in back-to-back years, and making it was a big goal last year. It’s a little different this time around.” Eastern is one of only eight Southeast District teams to qualify more than once for the girls state basketball tournament. The Green and Gold join Logan, Sheridan (1988, 2004) and Adena (1976, 1994) as the two-time qualifiers from the area, with Adena winning championships in both of its trips. Adena also owns a perfect 4-0 mark at the state level and has the only titles from the Southeast District. Eastern Brown, Oak Hill (2004, 2009, 2011), Unioto (1987, 1989, 1995) and Ironton (1980, 2005, 2010) have also been to state three times apiece. See SENIORS | 8 Ilgauskas has No. 11 jersey retired by Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — As the arena filled with the familiar drone of “Zeeeeeee,” Zydrunas Ilgauskas waved his right hand and used his left to gently pat his heart. The big man, the one who started off as a “skinny kid from Lithuania” and overcame injuries that would have stopped others, grappled with his emotions as he said thanks to the fans who adopted him as their own. “Thanks for giving me a place I can proudly call home,” he said. Cleveland roared back. At 7-foot-3, Ilgauskas towered over everyone yet stayed completely down to earth. Soft-spoken and doggedly determined, Ilgauskas, who overcame injuries and personal tragedy to become one of Cleveland’s best and most beloved players, had his No. 11 jersey retired Saturday night during an elaborate and emotional halftime ceremony as the Cavs hosted the Knicks. The seventh player in team history to receive the honor, Ilgauskas joins Austin Carr, Nate Thurmond, Bobby “Bingo” Smith, Larry Nance, Brad Daugherty and Mark Price in having his number raised to the rafters of Quicken Loans Arena. All of them have career credentials worthy of the tribute, but the celebration for Ilgauskas goes far beyond any statistics. “Throw basketball stuff out the window,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “He’s a terrific human being.” During the ceremony, Ilgauskas was joined on the court by his wife, Jennifer, and their adopted sons, Deividas and Povilas. His parents also attended along with friends, former Cavs owner Gordon Gund and dozens of ex-teammates, including superstar LeBron James, who was invited by Ilgauskas and wanted to support the player affectionately known as “Z.” “Probably one of the most talented guys I ever played with,” said James, See JERSEY | 8 �Wednesday, March 12, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com NOTICE BY PUBLICATION FARMERS BANK AND SAVINGS COMPANY, PLAINTIFF, VS.

The region is a combined 13-15 in previous state semifinals and owns an overall mark of 15-26 at the Final Four. Nine programs — Adena, Oak Hill, Logan, Eastern Brown, Unioto, Huntington, Southeastern, Peebles and Warren — have at least one victory apiece at the state level. Although its legacy is secure in some ways, Eastern is still hoping to add the one thing that has eluded this program over the last four years — playing in the state championship game. “Over the years, our goals have consisted of winning league, winning districts and making it to state. This year, we all individually listed the same goal — and that was to win state,” Parker said. “We’ve worked hard at those goals in years past and we’ve worked even harder this year, and we’re not going to stop working hard until the job is done.” The secret to Eastern’s success has been relatively simple. Play together on both ends of the floor and trust in your teammates to fulfill roles. The rest eventually takes care of itself. “We’ve become so close through our experiences together and this year has been something truly special,” Rigsby said. “We are like sisters because we all love one another. We just want to win … and nothing else matters.” The Lady Eagles — who set a school record for wins this season — will face defending state champion Fort Loramie (26-2) in the second of two D-4 semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday night at Value City Arena. Holgate (23-4) and Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans (26-1) face off in the first bout at 6 p.m. The two winners will battle for the D-4 crown at 2 p.m. Saturday. to the general manager. He’s always been special. Ilgauskas connected with Cleveland fans like few pro athletes. Big Z endeared himself with his perseverance, resilience, loyalty and a dry, self-deprecating sense of humor. Shortly after undergoing his second major foot surgery, Ilgauskas quipped he “had as much hardware as Home Depot” in his feet. The Cavs selected Ilgauskas with the 20th overall pick in 1996, and after a promising rookie season in 1997-98, he encountered the first of many medical obstacles. After visiting foot specialists across the country, Ilgauskas underwent a risky operation in 2000 to have his left foot radically reconstructed. He tortured himself during workouts to get back, and spent countless hours getting treatment on his feet, which required extensive icing before and after he played. It all paid off when Ilgauskas was named an All-Star reserve in 2003. There were other hardships, the most challenging in 2007 when he and Jennifer lost the twins she was carrying. Through it all, Ilgauskas was the consummate teammate. “Z’s like a big brother to me,” Cavs center Anderson Varejao said. “He helped me a lot in this league, with everything, basketball, on the road. When I got here I didn’t speak any English. He put me under his wing and took care of me. He’s a big part of my life.” And in Cleveland, Ilgauskas has always been so much more than big. Jersey From Page 6 who chartered a jet and flew in to be with his close friend. James kept a low profile during the ceremony, staying close to the Cavs bench. He took pictures with his phone but didn’t want his appearance to overshadow his former teammate. This was Z’s night. Ilgauskas thanked everyone he could during his speech. “Thank you for not giving up on a skinny kid from Lithuania,” he said to Gund. Later, Ilgauskas said he was thrilled to have James at the event. “It was special,” said Ilgauskas, who recently became a U.S. citizen. “There was some talk leading up to it, this and that, but the way I looked at it if he wasn’t able to make it, that’s OK. I wanted to extend the invitation. “Him being here was an added bonus for me because of what we’ve been through together. I consider him a dear friend. For me, it would have been almost a distraction if he wasn’t here. That he was able to witness that made it even more special.” Ilgauskas conquered careerthreatening foot injuries to become a two-time NBA All-Star as well as the Cavs’ career leader in rebounds (5,904), games played (771) and blocks (1,269). He’s second on the scoring list, behind only James. A gentle giant off the floor, Ilgauskas accomplished it all through hard work, enduring endless hours of grueling rehab and treatment to fulfill a dream that began as a small boy playing soc- cer and volleyball in Lithuania. Ilgauskas spent 12 seasons with the Cavs, and for a long stretch of his tenure he was the only good thing about the franchise. That all changed when James arrived in 2003, and along with Ilgauskas — an odd couple if there ever was one — they led the Cavs to their only NBA Finals appearance in 2007. One of the enduring moments in Cleveland sports over the last 30 years was James and Ilgauskas wrapping their arms around each other to celebrate the Cavs’ win over Detroit in the Eastern Conference finals. After being traded, Ilgauskas followed James to Miami and played one season with the Heat. Ilgauskas retired in 2011, but returned to the Cavs the following year and has been working as a special assistant Classifieds - Continued from Page A7 Apartments/Townhouses Apartments/Townhouses 2 BR apt. 6 mi from Holzer. $400 + dep.

With the cap rising $10 million to a record $133 million, a crop of players quickly found new homes as soon as the market official opened Tuesday afternoon — and offensive linemen were a popular commodity. Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert and the Miami Dolphins agreed to a five-year contract worth more than $45 million, according to a person familiar with the negotiations, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t made an announcement. Albert takes over the position Ron T. Ennis | Fort Worth Star-Telegram | MCT photo Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware on the sidelines played at the start of last season by after an injury in a game against the Washington Redskins at Jonathan Martin, who left the DolAT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013. phins in October, leading to an NFL inquiry into bullying on the team. Left tackle Jared Veldheer and the Arizona Cardinals agreed to a fiveyear contract worth $35 million, with $17 million guaranteed. Veldheer left the Oakland Raiders, who replaced him by giving former Ram Rodger Saffold a five-year deal. Two guards switched teams when the Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with Jon Asamoah, who was with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Washington Redskins struck a deal with Shawn Lauvao, who left the Cleveland Browns. Also moving: kick returner and receiver Dexter McCluster, who agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans, leaving the Chiefs; defensive end Arthur Jones, who joined the Indianapolis Colts from the Baltimore Ravens; defensive end Tyson Jackson and defensive tackle Paul Soliai, who both joined the Falcons; and defensive tackle Earl Mitchell, who left the Houston Texans to go to the Dolphins. Still, Ware’s exit from Dallas was the most significant early development. The 31-year-old Ware, who had 117 sacks and went to seven Pro Bowls while with the Cowboys, was set to count $16 million against the salary cap. By releasing him now, the Cowboys, who were right up against the cap, saved more than $7 million. Ware had a career-low six sacks last season, his ninth in Dallas. He missed time with a thigh injury, then had offseason elbow surgery. Others released included Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud, Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley and 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers. Among players staying with their teams thanks to new deals reached Tuesday: —PK Adam Vinatieri, the 41-yearold with four Super Bowl rings, agreed to a two-year contract with the Colts. Other PKs getting new contracts: Nick Folk (Jets), Phil Dawson (49ers), Dan Carpenter (Bills). AP Sports Briefs Bowling Green fires basketball coach Louis Orr BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Bowling Green State University has announced it will not renew the contract of seven-year men’s basketball coach Louis Orr. Athletic director D. Christopher Kingston announced the firing on Tuesday. Orr was 101-121 in seven seasons, including a record of 54-60 in Mid-American Conference play. The Falcons lost at Northern Illinois 54-51 in overtime on Monday night to close out a 12-20 season. After going 13-17 in his first season in 2007-08, he led the Falcons to a 19-14 mark the next year and was voted the MAC’s coach of the year. His last three years, the team went 16-16, 13-19 and 12-20. His teams never made the NCAA field, but did play in the NIT in 2009 and the CIT in 2012. Ohio moves past Ball State in MAC 1st round, 76-64 ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Nick Kellogg scored 17 points as No. 5 seed Ohio beat 12th-seeded Ball State 76-64 in the first round of the Mid-American Conference tournament on Monday. Ohio led by as many as 18 in the second half until Ball State cut it to 10 points with 4:24 left. Then Kellogg made a 3-pointer during a 7-0 run to put the game out of reach. Javarez Willis had 15 for Ohio (22-10) and Travis Wilkins hit 4 of 5 3-pointers. Ohio built a 38-26 advantage at halftime as the Bobcats made seven 3-pointers and hit 50 percent of its 26 field goals. Wilkins and Willis combined to make 8 of 11 shots, 6 of 8 3-pointers and had 11 points each. Ball State (5-25) was paced by Zavier Turner with 14 points and Majok Majok had 13. Ohio will play No. 8 Miami (Ohio) in the second round on Wednesday Bengals release C Cook, re-sign WR Tate CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals released center Kyle Cook, who started every game last season, and signed receiver Brandon Tate to a new contract on Tuesday. Cook had been with the Bengals since 2007. He played in 73 games, starting 66. Offensive line coach Paul Alexander said the team hasn’t decided who will start at center next season. Tate would have become an unrestricted free agent if he didn’t get a deal on Tuesday. His biggest impact has been on special teams during his three seasons with Cincinnati. Tate is averaging 24.8 yards on kickoff returns, a franchise record. His average of 9.9 yards per punt return ranks second in team records. He is in position to set franchise records for punt and kickoff return yards next season. Kilpatrick, Napier, Smith unanimous All-AAC picks MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick, UConn guard Shabazz Napier and Louisville guard Russ Smith all are unanimous selections for the 2014 American Athletic Conference’s all-league team. The American announced the team as voted on by coaches Tuesday. Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell and SMU guard Nic Moore are the other members of the firstteam. The conference will announce the American’s player of the year Wednesday with that award likely going to either Kilpatrick, Napier or Smith. Kilpatrick is the league’s leading scorer averaging 20.9 points a game as he helped Cincinnati win a share of the league’s title. Napier is second in scoring and assists, while Smith helped Louisville go 26-5 and share the regular-season title with Cincinnati. All three are finalists for the Wooden Award. Agent confirms Mendenhall retiring from NFL PHOENIX (AP) — Running back Rashard Mendenhall is retiring from the NFL at the age of 26. Agent Mike McCartney confirmed via Twitter on Sunday that Mendenhall had decided to end his playing career after six NFL seasons, all but one of them with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mendenhall, the Steelers’ firstround draft pick and 23rd overall selection out of Illinois in 2008, gained 4,326 career yards, averaging 3.9 yards per carry. After signing a free-agent contract with Arizona, he was hampered by a toe injury much of last season and was most effective down the stretch. Mendenhall finished with a team-high 687 yards in 217 carries. Mendenhall had consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons for the Steelers in 2009 and 2010. A knee injury limited him to six games with Pittsburgh in 2012.
