Stuckey to serve as commencement speaker ATHENS — Ohio University announced Wednesday that alumnus Charles “Chuck” R. Stuckey Jr., chairman emeritus of computer security giant RSA Security and a stalwart supporter of the university, will serve as its 2014 undergraduate commencement speaker. As a native of Lancaster, Ohio, and the oldest of six children, Stuckey began his college career at Ohio University-Lancaster while working full-time for the Anchor Hocking Glass Corp. He completed his degree in mechanical engineering at the Athens campus in 1966, commuting to classes while working parttime jobs in Athens and Lancaster. “It is an honor and privilege to have Charles Stuckey address Ohio University’s class of 2014 at the recommendation of our Student Senate,” Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis said. “Having launched his distinguished Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com career as a part-time student at our Lancaster campus, Chuck knows first-hand the value of an Ohio University education and the opportunity that it affords. He is a great example of what one person can accomplish through hard work and commitment. His generosity in supporting college access and student excellence for future Bobcats is admirable. I believe that Chuck’s speech will truly inspire our graduates.” Stuckey’s 40-year career in information technology began upon graduation in 1966 as a systems engineer with IBM. He later held positions in sales and general management with IBM and Control Data Corp., and most recently RSA Security, where he served as its president and chief executive officer for 14 years and chairman of the board until 2006. Under his leadership, RSA grew from 18 employees in 1987 to 1,500 employees in 2006 and was ranked as one of the top 100 security software companies in the world. Stuckey said he credits his education at Ohio University for enabling the discipline and skills necessary to become a successful business leader. At Ohio University’s 2014 under- graduate commencement ceremonies, he hopes to convey some of the excitement that lies ahead for the 2014 graduating class and challenge the class to set high goals for themselves. His message to graduates: Don’t be afraid to let your true promise shine. “When students enter the workplace one of the great advantages they have is they feel anything is possible. As they walk off of the commencement stage, they are brimming with new ideas and fresh perspectives, but so many are reluctant to bring those ideas forward when they first enter the workforce,” Stuckey said. “I hope to be able to help instill in graduates the confidence needed to fulfill their promise in all walks of life, based on the foundation that Ohio University has provided.” Ohio University recognized Stuckey’s outstanding professional achievement in 2005 with an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree. He is recognized as a member of the Russ College Academy of Distinguished Graduates, and in 2010 was awarded the John C. Baker Founder’s Award, the greatest honor given by the Ohio University Foundation. As a trustee emeritus of the Ohio University and Ohio University Foundation boards of trustees, Stuckey’s service far exceeds philanthropy. Currently, he serves as a member of the Russ College’s Board of Visitors and chair of the Promise Lives Campaign Steering Committee, in addition to other advisory roles at Ohio University. He also serves on the board of a number of private information technology and pharma companies. Stuckey said one of his most anticipated service opportunities will be sharing in the momentous milestone of Commencement with the Class of 2014. “It is a terrific honor to be nominated by the students to serve as the 2014 undergraduate commencement speaker, and I am truly grateful and humbled by the opportunity to help send Ohio graduates off into this next phase of their lives,” he said. Undergraduate commencement will be 9:30 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. May 3 at Ohio University’s Convocation Center in Athens. Ohio’s graduate commencement ceremony will take place at 9:30 a.m. May 2 at the Convocation Center.

According to Johnson, the Seniors Fairness Act he introduced is legislation aimed at protecting seniors from the Obama Administration’s harmful cuts to the Medi- care Advantage program. “I’ve heard from seniors in eastern and southeastern Ohio who are losing access to their doctors, and seeing an increase in their health care premiums. I’ve heard from doctors who’ve expressed serious concerns over the impact cuts in Medicare Advantage will have on their practices, and their patients. It’s for these reasons that House Republicans are choosing to act, said Johnson. He described the legislation as ” straight-forward.” and said it would “eliminate an Obamacare subsidy that will harm many hard-working middle-class American families and use that money to create a ‘Medicare Advantage Improvement Fund.’ This fund, he added, will “protect seniors from harmful cuts by ensuring individuals enrolled in Medicare Advantage continue to have access to a high-quality network of providers, prevent cost-sharing increases, and guarantee individuals enrolled in Medicare Advantage continue to receive their benefits.” from basic training SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Airman David C. Hayes graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, in San Antonio. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Hayes is the son of Cara Gillispie and Charles Hayes, both of Middleport. He is a 2012 graduate of Meigs High School in Pomeroy.

Dionne The Washington Post Certain political cliches cry out to join the list of the biggest lies in the world. Today’s candidate: Partisan politics stops at the water’s edge. It’s time to admit that the immediate postwar period was a one-off in our history and that in the age of President Obama even Republicans who agree with the president on a given foreign policy question have to disguise the fact with taunts and insults. Our freedom to oppose a president whenever we choose is precious and differentiates us from, say, the citizens of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. We forget too easily that dissent, even in wartime, is an American tradition, from the deep divisions over the War of 1812 and Abraham Lincoln’s sharp critique of the Mexican War all the way through Vietnam and Iraq. But these debates involved matters of principle. What’s strange about the response to Putin’s grab of Crimea is how eager Republicans are to blame Russian aggression on past Obama failures — even as Obama proposes to follow policies on Ukraine that they are themselves prescribing. To paraphrase the late Jeane Kirkpatrick, they blame Obama first. In extreme instances, Obama’s foes have come down with truly weird cases of Putin Envy. “Putin decides what he wants to do and he does it in half a day, right?” former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani swooned recently on Fox News. “He decided he had to go to their parliament. He went to their parliament. He got permission in 15 minutes.” Ah, the joys of dictatorship. And on the right wing, no day is complete without some invocation of Benghazi. Thus this tweet from Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C.: “It started with Benghazi. When you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression.” Graham’s friends explain this away as his effort to ward off a tea party challenge in South Carolina’s June primary. But that’s the point: Republicans indulge in Obama Derangement Syndrome precisely because so many who vote in GOP primaries demand it. Republicans typically reply that Democrats were no softies when it came to George W. Bush. There’s truth to that, particularly in the final years of his tenure. What they ignore is that Democrats entirely shelved partisanship after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. There was little opposition to Bush’s decision to send troops to Afghanistan and less questioning in advance of the Iraq war than there should have been. Moreover, Republicans were utterly unrestrained in casting opposition to Bush’s policies as disloyalty to the nation. When Nancy Pelosi accused Bush in 2004 of being “incompetent,” Tom DeLay, then the House majority leader, denounced the top House Democrat for being “so caught up in the partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk.” Washington usually responds blandly by saying that “both parties do it.” But note the consistent thread through the GOP attacks: that Democrats — then Kerry, now Obama — are weak and vacillating and give comfort to our foes. Why is it acceptable for supporters of a party to condemn critics as near-traitors when their side is in power and then embrace the right to dissent when the other guys control the White House? Freedom is freedom. There’s also this. A remarkably broad cross-party consensus has quickly coalesced around two propositions: the first, that we will not commit U.S. military forces in this crisis, but secondly, we should use every realistic form of pressure at our disposal to contain and then reverse Putin’s assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty. Must we pretend to disagree even when we agree? The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Page 4 THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014 Hot-air for climate change By Dana Milbank The Washington Post WASHINGTON — The filibuster has been used to delay many things over the years: civil rights, spending bills, presidential nominees and, most recently, Obamacare. But this may be the first time in history that a group of senators filibustered themselves. About 30 Democratic senators — calling themselves the Senate Climate Action Task Force — kept the Senate open overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. “We’re not going to rest until Congress wakes up and acts on the most pressing issue of our time,” declared Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, the organizer of the sleepless senators. Seeking action on global warming is a worthy endeavor, and the night owls deserve praise for the enthusiasm. But burning the midnight oil in this manner is peculiar. Usually, when a lawmaker talks all night, he’s trying to stop the majority from passing something. But these guys are trying to persuade the majority — themselves — to pass something. Joining the late-night guerrilla action was Harry Reid, DNev., who as the Senate majority leader is usually a target of filibusters, not a sponsor. If he and his colleagues really want action, they don’t have to lose sleep. They could bring a climate-change bill to the floor. The problem is that Reid doesn’t have the votes in his caucus to pass such a measure. A year ago, the last time the Senate considered a fee on carbon emissions, 13 Democrats joined with all 45 Republicans in defeating it. Democrats facing difficult re-election fights this year were conspicuously absent from Monday night’s lineup. “I think if we went immediately to a vote we probably wouldn’t be successful,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, an organizer of the all-nighter. Reid, who kicked off the 13- “We hope that by [senators] staying up all night to discuss climate change, tomorrow will signal a new dawn of climate-change action in Congress.” — Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts hour talkathon at 6:30 p.m., didn’t mention the problems among his fellow Democrats. He praised his colleagues for “standing up to the deniers” and “the oil-baron Koch brothers and their allies in Congress.” Apparently, those allies were not intimidated by the Democrats’ late-night show. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., crashed the party, needling his colleagues for more than half an hour. “All night long? That’s going to be fun,” said Inhofe, who calls global warming a “hoax” and frequently sights cold snaps as confirmation. “They’ll have an audience of themselves and I hope that they enjoy it.” The participants did seem to enjoy it. They had a Twitter hashtag, #Up4Climate, and gave energetic speeches long and short on the science of climate change. The Democrats were taking a page from the playbook of Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who held an all-nighter on the Senate floor in the fall opposing Obamacare, and Kentucky’s Rand Paul, who staged a talkathon last spring in opposition to President Obama’s nominee for CIA director. The Democrats’ action — the 35th all-night session in Senate history — isn’t technically a filibuster (Cruz’s wasn’t either, for that matter) because they aren’t delaying anything. But the magic of the filibuster is that it’s a test of human stamina: The speaker can’t leave the floor, so the speech lasts as long as the bladder does. By using a tag-team approach, the Democrats weren’t enduring anything but a lost hour or two of sleep. Still, they figured their antics 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.

It also might impress Democratic donors. As The Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe reported, Democratic senators discussed plans for the filibuster last month at a fundraiser held by liberal billionaire Thomas Steyer. “We hope that by [senators] staying up all night to discuss climate change, tomorrow will signal a new dawn of climatechange action in Congress,” said Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts. That’s a lofty sentiment, but there’s no real prospect of the Senate, much less the Republican-controlled House, moving to limit carbon emissions in the next few years. For now, environmentalists are putting their hope in Obama’s Climate Action Plan, which includes efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and other polluters. At the same time, efforts to boost efficiency and alternative fuels have begun to reduce Americans’ carbon output. That’s about all that can be done for now, organizers of the all-nighter acknowledged. In fact, the sleepless senators weren’t advocating any particular action on climate change. “Tonight is not about a specific legislative proposal,” Whitehouse said. “It’s about showing the environmental community … that the Senate is starting to stir.” Starting to stir. But it won’t awaken with so many Democrats hitting the snooze button.

COLUMBUS — As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, the Ohio State Highway Patrol urges people to designate a sober driver before the party begins. The patrol plans to work with local law enforcement to remove impaired drivers as part of the National Highway Safety Administration’s “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving” campaign. St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular night to celebrate with friends and family. However, due to impaired drivers, it has also become a very dangerous night on Ohio’s roadways. Last year, no one was killed in a traffic crash in Ohio on St. Patrick’s Day, the first time that has occurred in at least checkpoints, funded by federal grants provided through the patrol’s Ohio Traffic Safety Office. For bars and permit holders, over-serving or serving underage customers could also mean costly fines, suspension or revocation of their liquor permit. The Ohio Investigative Unit and other safety partners have been working to educate motorists and permit holders of these consequences in advance, reminding people of the dangers of driving impaired, and that over-serving is against the law. As always, motorists are encouraged to call #677 to report drug activity or impaired drivers. the last five years. During the 24hour period, the patrol made 142 OVI arrests. “We want people to enjoy the celebration, but we encourage them to do so responsibly,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, OSHP superintendent. “Don’t press your luck — designate a sober driver.” To prevent deaths and injuries, the OSHP is partnering with local law enforcement and safety advocates around the state to increase enforcement on Ohio’s roads and remind people to plan ahead to designate a sober driver. More than 99 local law enforcement agencies around the state will be conducting enforcement activity, saturation patrols and sobriety Forked Run Lake fish Senate panel advances tough sanctions stocking set for Friday POMEROY — The stocking of Forked Run Lake with rainbow trout is set for Friday as scheduled, according to an announcement from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. Forked Run was one of four lakes to be stocked with trout this week, but the other three have been postponed due to lake conditions. They were the New Lexington Reservoir in Perry County, which has been rescheduled for March 25, Rush Run Lake in Preble County and Veterans Park Pond in Lake County, both now rescheduled for March 26. ODNR said that many Ohio lakes remain covered with ice, and shorelines have been impacted by recent heavy snow that makes for unsafe for the ODNR to stock fish. It was noted that more than 98,000 rainbow trout will be released this spring at 63 Ohio public lakes and ponds. Many stocked locations will feature special angler events, including youth-only fishing, on the day of the scheduled trout release. Rainbow trout releases will take place across Ohio until May 16. It was not that rainbow trout are raised at state fish hatcheries and measure 10-13 inches before they are released by the division. The daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout, ODNR reported. The agency’s goal is to ensure a balance between wise use and protection of natural resources for the benefit of all.

By a 14-3 vote, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a bill authorizing $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine’s new government and allowing the Obama administration to impose economic penalties on Russian officials responsible for the military intervention or culpable of gross corruption. The bill stopped short of going after Russian banks or energy companies as some legislators proposed, giving Secretary of State John Kerry more leeway ahead of diplomatic talks with his Russian counterpart in Europe later this week. All Democrats supported the measure. Republican objections concerned how the U.S. will pay for the loan guarantees and U.S. approval for expanding the lending capacity of the International Monetary Fund. House Republicans, who are pushing their own Ukraine aid legislation, also voiced their opposition to the IMF provisions. “Putin has miscalculated by playing a game of Russian roulette with the in- BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE Ohio AG DeWine says vertigo has hit before COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said he has had other bouts of vertigo before the one that landed him in the hospital last week. DeWine, who returned to work this week, told WBNSTV in Columbus that he doesn’t expect it to affect his re-election campaign this year. He was hospitalized overnight last Friday in Cincinnati after an onset of vertigo prevented him from delivering a luncheon speech. “I hadn’t started speaking yet, but I could tell it was coming on and I told them, ‘Look, I just can’t do this.’ I can gut out most anything with a speech; I’ve done it before no matter how bad I feel, but when you can’t stand up, you just can’t give a speech,” DeWine said. The 67-year-old longtime Ohio public figure said he has had vertigo several times. Vertigo causes a dizzy feeling that your surroundings are spinning but usually isn’t considered a serious medical problem. DeWine said his doctor thinks his bouts are related to recurring migraine headaches. “For me, it usually lasts around five hours and I’m out of it,” DeWine said. “By 6 o’clock Friday night, I was fine and I wanted to go home.” But DeWine said his wife, Fran, and his doctors wanted him to remain there overnight. DeWine said he got medical treatment a year ago when he felt severe nausea while he and family were riding the rapids through the Grand Canyon. “I’ve had it several times and it comes on fairly quickly,” DeWine said. “Fortunately, it gives you enough warning that you can sit down. It comes on quickly and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason that I can figure out. A lot of people have a vertigo story, and it’s never fun.” Despite broad support for punishing Russia among the Obama administration and Democratic and Republican lawmakers, securing passage of a comprehensive bill that combines sanctions with aid to Ukraine hasn’t been easy. The most contentious element centers on the IMF, which the United States, European countries and others are working with to provide billions of dollars in loans to Ukraine’s cashdepleted authorities. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday reshaping the IMF isn’t “necessary for dealing with this Ukraine crisis.” He called for the Senate to take up the House’s version of the Ukraine assistance bill, which has no elements concerning the IMF or Russia sanctions. “They could move it today.” The U.S. is the only major country that hasn’t signed off on a 2010 package of IMF reforms that increases the power of emerging countries in the lending body and shifts money within its accounts so it can deliver more cash to countries in economic peril. But some Republicans object to the changes for fear of increasing the exposure U.S. taxpayers in foreign bailouts managed by the fund. Sen.

Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the chairman of the Foreign Relations panel, who introduced the legislation. The vote coincided with a strong show of support by President Barack Obama for Ukraine’s new and embattled pro-Western government. Sitting sideby-side in the Oval Office with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Obama expressed hope a Russian-backed referendum on Crimea’s future planned for this weekend could still be halted. If the vote occurs, he vowed not to recognize the result. The Senate bill condemns Russia’s “unjustified military intervention” in Crimea and instructs the president to target with visa bans and asset freezes “any person … for ordering, controlling or otherwise directing” acts that undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. At the behest of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the panel voted to expand Obama’s sanctions authorization to target Russian government officials complicit gross corruption in Ukraine, in Russia or anywhere else. The broadness of the authorization could be unprecedented for Russia, even if applying the sanctions would be at Obama’s discretion. 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Euromaxx Highlights NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 Miami, put out a statement outlining his opposition to the IMF provisions, saying the changes would hurt Ukraine and help Putin’s Russia — which would gain a marginally greater voting share in the lending body. That argument was echoed by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who also cited the billions of dollars Kiev owes Moscow. “When you give money to Ukraine, you are giving it to Russia,” he said. Paul challenged the wisdom of providing any loans to Ukraine, given its poor credit rating, and suggested the loans were more akin to a “gift.” Paul’s colleagues, however, roundly rejected his amendments. Voting against the bill were Paul and fellow Republican Sens. Jim Risch of Idaho and John Barrasso of Wyoming. Rubio didn’t exercise his right to a proxy vote. Meanwhile, Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, the top Republicans in Congress’ armed services committees, both vowed to oppose the bill if it comes to the Senate or House floors because it takes almost $150 million from unused funds for missile and aircraft procurement. They want the money reprogrammed to address military shortcomings at a time of significant defense cuts. THURSDAY, MARCH 13 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy! Fortune Wheel of Jeopardy!

Dad, Mom, Ross Keller Buster & Cloe �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Browns release QBs, Weeden and Campbell CLEVELAND (AP) — Brandon Weeden’s brief and forgettable run with the Browns is over. So is Jason Campbell’s, and his was even shorter. Both quarterbacks were released Wednesday, just minutes before the Browns introduced their new freeagent signings at a news conference. As the saying goes, only in Cleveland. Weeden was let go less than two years after the Browns selected him in the first round of the NFL draft with the idea he would solve a position that has haunted the franchise ever since it returned via expansion in 1999. Weeden never panned out, partly because the Browns went through a pair of coaching changes in his short time. He made 20 starts, but lost his job early last season after he got hurt and Brian Hoyer came off the bench and led the Browns to two victories. Weeden was re-inserted as the starter when Hoyer suffered a season-ending knee injury, but the 30-year-old lost his job again, this time to Campbell. Weeden passed for 5,116 yards — 3,385 as a rookie — and went 5-15 as a starter in two seasons. His release was expected with the Browns likely to take a quarterback in May’s draft. “First and foremost, the Browns would like to thank Brandon and his agent for being true professionals,” new general manager Ray Farmer said in a release. “The circumstances in which he found himself were not easy for him or the team. After discussions with Brandon and his agent, we’d like to give him the ability to pursue other opportunities.” Just 33 minutes after sending out a release to announce Weeden’s departure, the Browns cut ties with Campbell, who was due a $250,000 roster bonus on Thursday. Campbell went 1-7 in eight starts last season for the Browns, who signed the 32-year-old as a free agent last March. Campbell has also played for Chicago, Oakland and Washington. “We appreciate Jason’s contributions to the Browns in 2013,” Farmer said. “He’s a respected veteran player in this league. We felt like at this time, early in the free-agency period, we would give him a better opportunity to move forward. We wish Jason the best in his future endeavors.” See BROWNS | 9 Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Eastern senior Jenna Burdette makes a layup over a Newark Catholic defender during the Lady Eagles 62-52 regional championship victory, Saturday in Pickerington. Five local girls named All-Ohio Jenna Burdette name co-player of the year COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Five girls basketball players from Meigs and Gallia counties earned a spot on the 2013-14 Associated Press Division IV All-Ohio girls basketball team. Eastern senior guard Jenna Burdette was named All-Ohio Division IV coplayer of the year, after averaging 15.5 points, seven assists, five rebounds and four steals per game and leading the Lady Eagles back to the final four. Burdette — a University of Dayton signee — shares the honor with Darian Rose, a senior guard on defending state champion and final four qualifier Fort Loramie. Joining Burdette and Rose on first team AllOhio is Jessica Isler from Windham, Haley Horstman from New Knoxville, Jenna Stegmaier from Cuyahoga Heights, Regina Hochstetler from Berlin Hiland and Jill Blacksten from Newark Catholic. Burdette has been first team in each of her four seasons. This fourth consecutive year the southeast district has a share of player of the year honors in the state, but it is the first time since 2006 (Jennifer Grandy, Trimble) the southeast district has landed a Division IV girls player of the year. The Lady Eagles were represented on the second team by senior guard and Alderson-Broaddus signee Jordan Parker, who led EHS with 16.4 points per game this season. Erin Swatzel was named honorable mention for the Green and Gold after averaging 11 points per game this season. Joining Swatzel on honorable mention is Southern senior forward Celestia Hendrix, who averaged 16.4 points per game, and South Gallia senior Rachel Johnson, who averaged 12.9 points per game. The 2013-14 Associated Press Division IV All-Ohio girls basketball team is based on the recommendations of a media panel.

Defending champ Fort Loramie awaits Lady Eagles Holgate, Zanesville Rosecrans battle in other D-4 semifinal By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — To be the man, you have to beat the man. And headed into this weekend’s 39th annual OHSAA girls basketball championships, Fort Loramie is ‘the man’ in Division IV. Eastern’s pursuit of the school’s first state title begins with a bout against reigning D-4 champion Fort Loramie, as a pair of repeat state qualifiers battle it out in the second of two semifinal matchups Thursday night at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University. Both the Lady Eagles (25-1) and defending champion Lady Redskins (26-2) have been here before, as each faced Berlin Hiland in last year’s Final Four. EHS dropped a heartbreaking 54-51 decision to the Lady Hawks in the program’s first-ever state semifinal, but Fort Loramie had all the answers for HHS in the finale — a 57-42 victory that gave the program its first-ever state crown. The Lady Redskins are making their fourth trip to the state semis Eastern senior Maddie Rigsby (31) battles through a screen while guarding Newark Catholic’s Jill Blacksten Saturday night in the first half of a 62-52 victory in the D-4 Region 15 final at Pickerington High School North. in the last five postseasons, as well as the program’s eighth overall trip to the Final Four. The Red and Black earned runner-up honors in both 1997 and 2011, and also competed at state in 1979, 1991, 2005 and 2010. FLHS has eight seniors on its 2014 roster and is led by a former player in Carla Siegel, who owns a 298-90 overall record in 15 seasons at the helm. The Lady Redskins — who traditionally go 8-10 players deep every night — make things go with their defense, as the Red and Black have allowed an average of 35.8 points in 28 games this year. FLHS also scores 70.3 points per outing and has one of the most dynamic scorers in all of the state in senior Darian Rose. See EAGLES | 9 Brutal Big 12 tournament promises to be wide open KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas coach Bill Self was chatting this week with someone who brought up the possibility that some unfortunate team with a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament might have to play its second game against Oklahoma State, which was once considered a Final Four contender. “I said, ‘Just think if that happens in your conference tournament,’” Self responded. After winning their 10th straight regular-season title, the Jayhawks earned the top seed when the Big 12 tournament begins Wednesday night at the Sprint Center. But the reward is a first-round bye and a potential matchup with the eighth-seeded Cowboys in Thursday’s quarterfinals; the two teams split their two meetings this year. Oklahoma State plays No. 9 seed Texas Tech in the first game Wednesday night. Seventh-seeded Baylor takes on No. 10 seed TCU in the nightcap of a double-header. “I think we’ve always had very competitive Big 12 tournaments,” Self said, “but I don’t know if I can ever remember where if there’s a final between whatever seeds there are, it would be absolutely not a major surprise to anybody. It’s going to be a pretty special weekend.” The Big 12 has been the runaway leader in conference RPI all season, and some believe that it could land seven or eight teams in the NCAA tournament on Selection Sunday. Just consider the games that will be played Thursday: Along with Kansas getting Oklahoma State or Texas Tech, second-seeded Oklahoma will play the Baylor-TCU winner, No. 3 seed Texas will play No. 6 seed West Virginia, and No. 4 seed Iowa State will play No. 5 seed Kansas State. “This league,” Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said, “is by far the toughest in the country.” See BRUTAL | 9 �Thursday, March 13, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com OVP Sports Briefs Riverside seniors to kickoff on April 1 MASON, W.Va. — The official start of the 2014 Riverside senior men’s golf league will be on Tuesday, April 1 at 8 a.m. and will begin with an informative meeting.

Broncos get Ware; Bucs cut Revis; Tate joins Lions By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Well, that didn’t take long. Pass rusher DeMarcus Ware got a $30 million, three-year contract from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Not quite keeping pace with the nonstop nature of Day 1 of free agency, Day 2 did include the Buccaneers releasing cornerback Darrelle Revis after failing to trade him; receiver Golden Tate leaving the Super Bowl champion Seahawks to play alongside All-Pro Calvin Johnson with the Lions; and the Browns cutting two quarterbacks, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. The Revis move saved the Bucs a $1.5 million bonus that would have been due if he remained on the roster with his $16 million salary. It also freed up room under the cap for a continuing roster overhaul under new coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht. With Broncos executive John Elway showing the same ability to close a deal that he did during his Hall of Fame career as a quarterback — and used two years ago to lure Peyton Manning to Denver — Ware’s first team visit resulted in a deal that includes $20 million in guaranteed money. “It’s a perfect fit for me,” Ware said at a news conference. He’ll pair with linebacker Von Miller to give AFC champion Denver a pair of quarterback chasers. Elway has been busy upgrading the defense during the first two days of the NFL’s freeagency period, adding cornerback Aqib Talib from the Patriots and safety T.J. Ward on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Ware had 117 sacks and went to seven Eagles Browns From Page 8 From Page 8 Rose — a 5-foot-8 senior and the 2014 Southwest District POY — is the program’s all-time leading scorer and averaged 20.1 points per game this year, which included a career-high 39 points against Fairlawn in a 90-17 triumph on Nov. 30. Rose scored 40 points total in last year’s state title run, which led to her being named the Most Outstanding Player from the D-4 tournament in 2013. Rose, however, is not the only scoring threat that Fort Loramie possesses as Jessica Boerger and Renae Meyer also average close to double digits per night. Boerger — a 5-10 sophomore guard — chips in 10.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per outing, while Meyer — a 5-11 senior post player — averages 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds for the Lady Redskins. Fort Loramie’s two losses this season both came on the road. It dropped a 65-51 decision at Minster on Dec. 21 and lost a 55-52 decision to Versailles on Jan. 21. Versailles (D-3) is the only state qualifier that FLHS has faced this winter. The Lady Eagles, on the other hand, have faced three state qualifiers this season, which led to a 2-1 overall mark. EHS defeated fellow D-4 qualifier Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans 70-53 on Dec. 28 and also beat Boyd County (Ky.) 51-41 on Feb. 1 at the Huntington Invitational. Eastern’s lone setback this year also came at the Huntington Invitational after dropping a 70-68 overtime decision to host Huntington St. Joseph on Jan. 31. Saint Joseph is currently in pursuit of its sixth straight Class A championship in West Virginia. The Lady Eagles are led by sixth-year coach John Burdette, who owns a 121-30 overall mark during his tenure. Eastern enters the weekend with season averages of 75.8 points offensively and 30.1 defensively — both of which are tops in the D-4 bracket. Eastern — which has won all 25 games this winter by double digits — is one of three remaining AP poll champions at the state tournament, joining Cincinnati Princeton (D-1) and Millersburg West Holmes (D-2). For the season, the Lady Eagles had six different players average at least eight points per contest. The first D-4 semifinal Thursday pits Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans (26-1) against Holgate (23-4) in a battle of teams that haven’t been to state in a while. Rosecrans will be making its 10th overall appearance and first since 1998, while Holgate is making its fourth trip overall and first since 2003. In fact, Eastern is the only D-4 program at the Final Four this year that hasn’t previously won a state championship. Rosecrans won titles in 1982, 1983 and 1992, while Holgate came away with the 2001 crown. The Lady Bishops have four seniors averaging double digits, with 5-10 forward Molly Nash leading that charge with 17 points per game. Forwards Kloie Johnson (5-8) and Maddie Chandler (5-9) are next with respective averages of 14 and 13 points, while guard Alexis Kirkbride chips in 11 points per outing. Rosecrans is led by fifth-year coach Gale Kirkbride, who owns a 94-26 overall mark during her tenure. RHS averages 62 points per game offensively and allows 35.2 points per night as a defensive unit. The Lady Tigers are led by 6-foot senior center Marissa Myles, who averages 13.8 points per game. Sophomore guard Sarah Niese (5-9) is next with a 9.9 average, followed by 5-8 junior forward Mattie Grim with 9.8 points per game. Senior guard Jillian Clady (5-5) also chips in 7.3 points per game for HHS. Holgate is led by 11th-year frontman James Niece, who owns a 172-81 overall mark during his tenure. The Lady Tigers average 55.5 points per game offensively and also allow 41.2 points per night as a defense. Holgate’s losses this year came to Wauseon (63-54), Edgerton (49-35), Pettisville (46-42) and Archbold (5242). HHS has not faced a state-qualifying team yet this year. Three of the four teams in the Division IV Final Four also finished the year ranked in the final AP poll. Eastern won the school’s first-ever poll, while Rosecrans finished third and Fort Loramie ended the year ninth overall. The Holgate-Rosecrans game will tip-off at 6 p.m. Thursday, while EHS and Fort Loramie will battle in the second contest at 8 p.m. The Division IV championship game will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday. The jettisoning of the two quarterbacks comes as the Browns, who have lost at least 11 games in each of the past six seasons, are trying to add quality players in free agency. Soon after dumping Weeden and Campbell, the Browns welcomed strong safety Donte Whitner, linebacker Karlos Dansby and cornerback Isaiah Trufant, who all agreed to contracts on Tuesday. It’s a homecoming for Whitner, who grew up in Cleveland played at Ohio State. “It’s not too often you can play high school, college and in the NFL in the same state,” said Whitner, who spent Pro Bowls in nine seasons with the Cowboys. He had a careerlow six sacks last season, when he missed time with a thigh injury, then had offseason elbow surgery. The Cowboys made another move to clear cap space Wednesday, jettisoning receiver Miles Austin, as expected, saving about $5.5 million. Austin’s release is effective June 1. Revis, meanwhile, spent only one season with the Bucs, who got him from the Jets for a 2013 first-round draft pick and a 2014 fourth-round choice. If Revis had still been on Tam- pa Bay’s roster by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the Bucs would have needed to upgrade that 2014 draft pick to a third-rounder. The Bucs already signed a topflight cornerback, former Titans player Alterraun Verner, on Tuesday, when they also brought aboard defensive end Michael Johnson, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald and tight end Brandon Myers. Tampa Bay added a quarterback Wednesday by agreeing to a two-year contract with Josh McCown, a backup who got a chance to start five games last season for the Bears in place of an injured Jay Cutler. “It’s not too often you can play high school, college and in the NFL in the same state.” — Donte Whitner Strong safety the past three years in San Francisco and is excited for a chance to spend more time with two young children who live in Cleveland. Farmer excused himself after posing for photos with the new players, saying he had more work to do. It’s possible the Browns will join in the chase to sign lock-down cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was released by Tampa Bay and is now on the open market. The Browns already have a Pro Bowl cornerback in Joe Haden, and it might be difficult for them to invest a ton of money into one position. Revis does have a relationship with new Browns coach Mike Pettine, who was his defensive coordinator with the New York Jets.

Brutal From Page 8 That’s why the Jayhawks still believe they can earn a No. 1 seed to the NCAA tournament, despite their 23-8 record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (20-11) is teetering around the bubble, and a win over Texas Tech might be enough to push the Cowboys firmly into the dance. Knocking off the Jayhawks would certainly do the trick. “We’re just trying to worry about the next game,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said, “and worrying about all that other stuff doesn’t really do you any good.” In that case, here are five things that fans SHOULD worry about: BUBBLE WATCH: Oklahoma State isn’t the only team on the NCAA tournament bubble. Baylor (21-10) would feel much better with a win or two, while West Virginia (17-14) hopes the momentum it picked up by knocking off Kansas last weekend will propel it to enough wins in Kansas City to make a case on Selection Sunday. “I think if we won two we’d be in great shape,” said Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins, “but I think if we can win that first one that we would be pretty good.” CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE: Kansas is the only current member to have won the Big 12 tournament since 2005 — twice since then, Missouri won the title. In fact, Oklahoma and Iowa State are the only current schools besides the Jayhawks and Cowboys to have won. “No matter what people say, no matter what other teams do,” Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart said, “it goes through Kansas.” STAR WATCH: There will be stars-a-plenty at the Big 12 tournament. Andrew Wiggins of Kansas is a potential No. 1 draft pick, Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim is the Big 12 player of the year and Smart is also a potential lottery pick. But one player who won’t be on the floor is Jayhawks center Joel Embiid, who’s been ruled out for the Big 12 tournament and unlikely for the first week of the NCAA tournament because of a stress fracture in his back. HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE: Local schools Kansas and Kansas State always pack the Sprint Center, but Iowa State also tends to draw well — its campus is a reasonable drive from Kansas City. That means it’ll be tough to secure a ticket to Thursday’s first session, when the Cyclones play the Wildcats and Kansas is also in action in a tantalizing double-header. LONGSHOTS: Even longshots have coaches concerned this year. Texas Tech is the No. 9 seed but has wins over Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas on its resume. And nobody thought TCU would go winless in the league, so the No. 10 seed Horned Frogs could be primed for a first-round upset of the Bears. “We’re going to do our best to keep within striking distance, like we have all year long, and give ourselves a chance down the stretch,” TCU coach Trent Johnson said. �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel Professional Services Double E Enterprises LLC.

Both Clark and Dudding — a pair of WHS alums — were recognized for their efforts in improving the sports atmosphere at Wahama over the last few decades, and each was presented a portfolio of accomplishment during the intermission event. Here’s a brief look at the contributions that each honoree has made to Wahama over the years. GARY CLARK Gary Clark is a 1970 graduate of Wahama High School and has been an avid supporter of White Falcon Athletics since he was a young child. Clark was a member of the first Wahama baseball team to advance to the West Virginia State Tournament and was also a member of the only White Falcon basketball team to advance to the West Virginia High School State Basketball Tournament. He is considered to be one of the best three-sport athletes ever to perform for the red and white at Wahama. He was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 16th round of the 1970 professional baseball draft and also played in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Clark was elected as a charter member of the Wahama High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. Soon after his graduation from high school Clark began covering Wahama Athletic events as a correspondent for the Point Pleasant Register, and has continued covering Wahama sports contests for the past 42 years. During that span Clark has compiled statistics for the respective White Falcon teams while writing about some of the greatest teams, coaches and athletes in WHS history He also began performing the color analyst duties for WYVK radio of WHS Athletic events in football, basketball and baseball over the past four seasons and is considered as the modern day historian for team and individual athletic accomplishments for Wahama Athletics. Clark continues to attend Wahama High School sporting events to show his support to the coaches and athletes of Wahama High School. JAMES DUDDING James Dudding is a tremendously dedicated Wahama High School Athletic Booster that has spent many countless hours working for the betterment of the Wahama Sports Programs. Dudding attended Wahama High School before enlisting in the military where he served our country. He has been instrumental in numerous WHS Athletic Projects such as the recent bleacher upgrade, the football scoreboard relocation, improvements to the WHS press box as well as his contributions in the general upkeep of the Falcon football, baseball and basketball facilities. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Wahama athletic director Melissa VanMeter, left, presented portfolios of recognition to both Gary Clark, middle, and Jim Dudding, right, during halftime of the White Falcons’ March 5 postseason contest against Hannan in Mason, W.Va. He is considered by everyone related to Wahama High School Athletics as a major ingredient in the betterment of the Wahama sports programs. His extensive amount of time spent performing various tasks for whatever is necessary to make things better and easier for the coaches, athletic director, administrators, parents and fans related to the White Falcon family and their opponents often goes unnoticed by many but he is considered an extraordinary asset to the various Wahama High School Athletic Programs. Despite not receiving the appreciation and recognition he so richly deserves, Dudding continues to donate his time and expertise in assisting the various needs for the Wahama High School Athletic Department and the White Falcon Booster Organization. Silver: I don’t see tanking to improve draft spot incentives aren’t right, we have to change them.” The year’s draft is expected to be stocked with superstars like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, giving teams the hope that they will land a franchise player to lead them out of the lottery. So when the Celtics traded away Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce — and even let coach Doc Rivers walk — they could at least hope that help would be coming soon. Same for the Philadelphia 76ers, who after traded away Spencer Hawes and former No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner in February had lost 17 games in a row heading into Wednesday night. Silver noted that winning the draft lottery is no guarantee of getting back to the playoffs. And he added that having the worst record only gives a team a one-in-four chance of landing the first pick (though this year, with a deeper draft of potential superstars, the team with the worst record would be guaranteed the chance to pick one of them). Silver said that as long as the players and coaches on the floor are trying to win games, he doesn’t have a problem with organizations trying to rebuild. Asked if fans were getting their money’s worth for season’s worth of games in which their team was Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Evans, Joe Keir, Brian Ward, Michael Piechura, Craig Darby, Jillian Hartter, Angel None 3 None Printed At Krystal Carter / Heidi Kempisty by From: kcarter-mpt-09139 Fonts Fonts: The Sans (Bold, Semibold, Light, Regular), The Sans Light (Italic) Prepared by: Southfield, MI • 248.354.9700 A match made in healthcare.

Also Wednesday, Silver repeated his goal of changing the “one-and-done” rule that allows college players to enter the NBA after one NCAA season; he would prefer an age limit of 20 years-old. Another option would be for the NCAA to allow players to sign with an agent and be drafted but remain in school. Silver said he would like to work with USA Basketball and the NCAA on keeping players in college longer, which would help athletes develop into better basketball players. It would also help the NCAA. “Historically, college basketball has not had a seat at the table,” Silver said. Such a change would have to be bargained with the NBA players’ union. Because the union leadership is in flux, Silver all-but ruled out a change for next year. In what he called the first formal address of his term as commissioner, Silver joked that a month or so ago he wouldn’t be allowed into a group limited to CEOs. Several questions from the group were answered by him noting that he’s only been on the job six weeks. Used Swatches: “We have a system in place that encourages teams to rebuild,” he said after the talk sponsored by Boston College in the hometown of the Celtics, who are among the league’s rebuilding teams. “”They are responding to the incentives that are built into the system.

Anthony went as far as to suggest that it’s no longer a question of if Jackson will rejoin the Knicks, but when. “Everything’s in his hands now,” Anthony told reporters in Boston at the Knicks’ gameday shootaround practice. Neither the Knicks nor Jackson had any immediate comment. Jackson played on the Knicks’ last championship team in 1973, and later went on to win six NBA titles as a coach with the Chicago Bulls and five more with the Los Angeles Lakers. “I’m agnostic as to what team, but I would love to see Phil Jackson” back in the league, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday after speaking to the Boston College Chief Executives’ Club of Boston. “To have one of the greatest ever sitting on the sidelines is a loss for the league,” Silver added. “The league needs him. I hope he lands with some organization.” Jackson, 68, has said in the past that teams have tried to lure him back to the NBA, and there has been speculation for several days that this offer from the Knicks would be good enough to get him to interrupt retirement. Jackson has been out of the league and largely out of the public eye since 2011, when he ended his coaching stint with the Lakers. “I still don’t have a lot of the details, all the details,” Anthony told reporters. “Have I heard? Yeah, I’ve heard that he will be coming on board. It’s not official yet.
