Legal opinion obtained on Council action
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

MIDDLEPORT — The ordinance to hire a grants administrator presented to Middleport
Village Council at the March 24
meeting, followed immediately
by a motion to give it emergency
status allowing for all three required readings to take place in a
single meeting, has raised some
questions from the public as to
whether it was handled in the
right and legal way.
It was legal, according to Attorney Mick Barr, Middleport
Village solicitor.
Barr said he thought calling

it an “emergency” was a misnomer,” but added that threefourths of voting members can
waive the required three readings on ordinances.
“Using the word ‘emergency’ was
a bad way to describe it,” he said.
The vote on the measure proposed by Councilman Roger
Manley was four to one with one
Council member, Penny Burge,
absent. Voting in favor were
Richard Vaughan, Doug Dixon,
Sharon Older and Manley, with
Emerson Heighton voting “no”
to giving all three readings at
that meeting which gave no time
for public reaction.

Barr added that while he
wasn’t present at the meeting,
he doesn’t consider anything
he knows about what happened
there as a violation of the state’s
Sunshine Law.
Manley , who despite being on
Council for several years, attended the Ohio Municipal League
training session held in Columbus for new Council members.
Manley said they were told
by Attorney Steve Smith, presenter, that “we didn’t have to
go through all this to fill a grants
administrator’s position.” He
said Smith told them (making
reference to himself and the new

Council members) that all they
needed to do was “create the
position, appropriate the money,
and then hire someone.”
That information was printed
in the Council story that appeared in the March 24 edition
of The Daily Sentinel.
In reaction to the story that
was sent to Smith by Middleport
resident Don Poole, who was
not at the Council meeting but
who, over the years, has attended many legal training sessions,
raised the issue of compliance
with the Sunshine Law.
He sent The Sentinel article to
Smith, who responded to Poole

that his “intent is not to render legal advice that the attendees may
rely on. It is simply to discuss various fact scenarios and how the
law may apply. When it comes to
legal advice for a specific city or
village, the only opinion that matters (and they can rely on) is that
of their law director, solicitor or
special counsel they engage.”
He added, “In this case I
have never been retained by
the village (Middleport) to
provide legal advice and the
information they learned at
my training session was never
intended to be taken as legal
advice for the village.”

‘American Pickers’
arrives in Point
By Beth Sergent

POINT PLEASANT — One
man’s junk is another man’s treasure — and good television.
Just ask Tim Clendenen, of Point
Pleasant, who is a self-described
“pack rat,” making him a perfect
choice to appear on History Channel’s “American Pickers” program.
Cast and crew from the popular
program were in Point Pleasant on
Tuesday afternoon visiting with
Clendenen and going through his
treasure trove of antiques and oddities he’s collected over the years.
Clendenen said someone gave
the show’s personnel his name,
sent a scout to look at his “pickings” two weeks ago and decided
he was worthy of a visit from Mike
Wolfe and Frank Fritz. The duo,
along with a camera crew and the
official “Antique Archaeology” van
arrived from Tennessee to meet

The new season of “American Pickers” starts Wednesday. It’s not known
when the episode filmed with Tim Clendenen of Point Pleasant with air. Pictured are cast, crew and Clendenen during filming on Tuesday.

Clendenen early Tuesday afternoon.
However, before Mike and Frank
could arrive, several locals were
trying to get a glimpse of the pair,
known as “the pickers” during filming. Fans were taking photos with
phones and even delaying at least
one camera shot with their curiosity and enthusiasm. The crew set
up shop in the empty parking lot

of the old Appalachian tire store.
As of press time it wasn’t known
if Clendenen had anything “picked”
from his stash. It appeared the cast
and crew were only in town to
speak to Clendenen, though, no
doubt, there were many other collectors who wished to have a moment of their time.

Pickers” starts Wednesday.

Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

RACINE — The “Stop
Hunger @ Home” program, organized by Home
National Bank, recently donated $6,500 to the Meigs

Of the $6,500, more
than $5,200 came from the
recent Bingo games held at
the Syracuse Community
Center. The Community
Center said that it was one
of the largest game nights
held there.
“We would like to thank

all the attendees, the Community Center who provided wonderful food, the
sponsors, and all who donated in any way to make
the event successful,” said
program organizers.
The other funds came
from monthly events and
regular sponsors of the
“Stop Hunger @ Home”
program.
The “Stop Hunger @

RACINE — Vicki Northup, now the administrative secretary
at Southern Local, has served as a secretary in the Southern Local School District for 30 years. Her service earned her recognition as a finalist in the Ohio Association for Elementary School
Administrators (OAESA) “Secretary of the Year” Award.
“Congratulations to Vicki on receiving this honor,” said
Superintendent Tony Deem. “Vicki has taken on additional
responsibilities, but yet still finds time to take care of the kids
and the teachers.”
According to one Southern Local student, “Vicki does it all.”
“And that just about sums it up,” said Scott Wolfe, director of special education at Southern. “Our entire secretarial
staff does a great job. Vicki, however, has been the special
ed secretary ever since I have been here and she is, indeed,
generous to anyone that needs help.”
“Vicki goes far beyond the call of duty,” added Wolfe. “She
goes out of her way to make all of us look good.”
Northup received a gift card, a certificate and a letter from
OAESA President and Executive Director Julie Davis.
The letter in part read, “The selection process was quite
a challenge this year. Regrettably, another candidate was
selected to receive the award this year. Please know that it
was quite obvious to our selection committee that you are
deeply admired by your staff, your children and parents, your
colleagues, and your administration. In recognition of your
nomination, and rank as a finalist, please accept this small token of appreciation from the OAESA. To be sure, your school
is a much better place because of your work.”
Northup serves as administrative secretary and parental
resource coordinator. She is active in planning the fall and
spring book fairs, Literacy Night, Math Night and other
academic events. She is a member of the Academic Banquet
committee and a host of many other school functions.

‘OHIO Guarantee’ tuition program receives chancellor’s approval
Level-rate model assures cost
consistency for students and families
ATHENS — Chancellor John
Carey of the Ohio Board of Regents has approved Ohio University’s new undergraduate tuition
and fee guarantee program —
The OHIO Guarantee — setting
in motion plans for a transparent
and predictable tuition structure
to begin with the 2015-16 academic year.
The proposal was adopted by
the Ohio University Board of
Trustees at their January meeting and presented to Carey for
final approval.
The OHIO Guarantee is a
comprehensive cohort-based program that includes level-rate tuition, housing, dining and most
academic course and technology
fees. The program intends to assure students and their families
comprehensive rates that will re-

main in place over 12 continuous
semesters, or four years.
“Our plan, which is new to
Ohio University, was developed
as a way to provide better financial predictability to students
and parents, increase the value
of financial aid and provide an
incentive for students to graduate within four years,” Ohio
University President Roderick J.
McDavis said.
The guarantee will begin with
every new degree-seeking firstyear or transfer undergraduate
student who enrolls in the fall
semester of 2015 or the spring
semester of 2016. The program
applies to these students regardless of campus of admission or
enrollment for classes taken at
the Athens campus.
Continuing students, those

who were enrolled prior to summer 2014-15, will not be affected
by the guarantee and will continue to follow the traditional
incremental tuition model governed by the legislative cap and
annually adopted by the Ohio
Board of Trustees. In addition,
non-degree students, such as
those seeking post-secondary enrollment option classes, are not
included in the guarantee.
The Ohio University Board of
Trustees will establish a new level-rate structure each year, which
will apply to the new cohort, or
group of students, enrolling for
the first time during that upcoming academic year. Students’ cohorts will be assigned based on
their first semester of enrollment
(fall or spring, excluding summer). For example, if a student’s
first semester of enrollment is
fall 2015, his or her rate would be
the Cohort 2015 rate and would
be effective for the next 12 continuous semesters.
If a student’s first semester

is summer 2015, he or she will
pay the Cohort 2015 rate for that
semester and then begin paying
the Cohort 2016 rate the following fall. This allows students to
start earlier at a lower rate and
then be part of their continuing
cohort.
If a student begins at a regional campus and then transfers to
the main campus in Athens, that
student will be placed in the cohort aligning with the year he or
she enrolled as a degree-seeking
student at Ohio University. If a
student takes classes at both a
regional campus and the Athens
campus, that student will pay tuition for Athens campus classes
according to the cohort that began at the time of enrollment and
will follow the annual Regional
Campus class cost.
A select number of Ohio University programs have been
identified to the Ohio Board of
Regents as requiring more than
120 hours — more than four
years — to complete. Students in

these programs will automatically receive an additional semester
of the guarantee (meaning they
have 13 semesters to complete
the degree). But if a student requires more than 12 continuous
semesters to graduate and is not
in one of the identified programs,
they will be placed in the cohort
for the year after their initial cohort for the next three terms or
one year. This allows a student
to know the rate in advance if
they stay longer than four years,
allowing for better planning as
early as their sophomore year.
Ohio University officials said
there may be situations beyond
a student’s control that could
affect the ability to complete a
degree within four years. Extensions necessary due to military
or reserve duty will be automatically granted. Exceptions may
include disability, medical conditions, enrollment in the Ohio
Program of Intensive English,
internships or cooperative education programs.

Mumps outbreak
Reins loosened on big campaign donors
highlights need to stay
current on immunizations
COLUMBUS — As the Ohio Department of Health
continues to investigate a growing number of mumps cases in the central Ohio, the agency reminds Ohioans that
vaccinations are the most effective way to prevent illness
from vaccine-preventable diseases, including mumps.
Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread between
people through saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose or
throat of an infected person, usually when that person
coughs, sneezes or talks.
Given this outbreak, to ensure that people are protected
from mumps, ODH encourages individuals who are considered at high risk of mumps — those who have not
received any doses of measles-mumps-rubella and those
who have received only one dose of MMR — to get vaccinated.
“Immunization is the most effective way to protect
yourself and your family from vaccine-preventable diseases,” said ODH State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary DiOrio. “In
addition, to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, such
as mumps, wash your hands often, cover your cough, and
stay home when you are ill.”
ODH supports the vaccine recommendations set forth
by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recommendations include vaccination schedules for when
individuals (children and adults) should receive their vaccinations.
To access the current Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recommended immunization schedules, visit
www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/index.html.
Ohioans are encouraged to consult with a health care
provider regarding questions about immunization status.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Supreme Court’s conservative
majority voted Wednesday to
free wealthy donors to give to
as many political candidates and
campaigns as they want, further
loosening the reins on giving by
big contributors as the 2014 campaign moves into high gear.
It was a fresh declaration by
the 5-4 majority that many limits on big-money contributions
violate the givers’ constitutional
free-speech rights, continuing a
steady erosion of the restrictions
under Chief Justice John Roberts.
The biggest of those rulings was
the 2010 decision in the Citizens
United case that lifted restrictions
on independent spending by corporations and labor unions.
Wednesday’s ruling voided the
overall federal limit on individuals’ contributions — $123,200 in
2013 and 2014 — and may have
more symbolic than substantive
importance in a world in which
millions in unlimited donations
from liberal and conservative
spenders already are playing a
major role in campaigns.
The ruling will allow the wealthiest contributors to pour millions
of dollars into candidate and party
coffers, although those contributions will be subject to disclosure
under federal law, unlike much of

the big money that independent
groups spend on attack ads.
The early beneficiaries could be
the political parties, which have lost
influence amid the rise of independent spending, and challengers who
may have been cut off from getting
money from wealthy contributors
who previously hit the cap that the
court invalidated Wednesday.
Roberts said the aggregate limits do not act to prevent corruption
or the appearance of corruption,

the rationales the court has upheld
as justifying contribution limits.
The overall limits “intrude
without justification on a citizen’s ability to exercise ‘the most
fundamental First Amendment
activities’,” Roberts said, quoting from the court’s seminal 1976
campaign finance ruling in Buckley v. Valeo. By contrast, Roberts
said the individual or “base limits
remain the primary means of regulating campaign contributions.”

Nonprofit insurers struggle in new marketplaces
Associated Press

HARTFORD,
Conn.
— A smorgasbord of options and lower prices for
consumers were two of
the chief selling points for
President Barack Obama
as he promoted his overhaul of the nation’s health
insurance industry, predicting Americans would
see “competition in ways
we haven’t seen before.”
Companies were even
started as a way to encourage innovation and
competition, namely 23
consumer-run, co-op insurers created with the help of
$2 billion in federal loans.
But rather than promote
competition, the co-ops
and smaller nonprofits
in some states have languished behind major insurers, attracting in some
cases minuscule shares of
the market. While Obama
celebrated an early projection this week of 7.1 million
enrollees under the Affordable Care Act, it’s too early
to say whether the law ultimately will foster sufficient
competition to keep premiums and deductibles affordable for consumers.
Many of the nonprofit
insurers are startups and
have faced challenges as
they tried to attract customers, including: the
computer problems that
plagued many of the signup websites; plans that
weren’t priced to compete;
and a failure to develop
brand recognition, due in
part to restrictions on advertising and lobbying that
were a condition of the coops accepting the federal
funding.
“Between no lobbying
and no direct marketing, that’s what you get,”
said Ken Lalime, CEO of
HealthyCT, a co-op in Con-

necticut. “It’s kind of tough
to get your name out there
and get exposure.”
Like nonprofits in other
states, HealthyCT watched
in recent months as customers chose big-name insurers on the marketplaces
created under the federal
health care law. Before
Monday’s enrollment deadline, HealthyCT had 3 percent of signups in the state.
Just 5 percent of enrollees in Washington state’s
marketplace had chosen
community nonprofit insurers by the end of February. In California, more
than 95 percent of people
signing up for coverage
went with four major insurance companies rather
than seven regional or community nonprofits. About
97 percent of Oregon’s enrollees have selected plans
offered by the larger insurers in the state while 3.3
percent chose the two co-

ops. In New Mexico, an estimated two-thirds of those
signing up selected one of
three major insurers. And
through February in North
Dakota, where Blue Cross
Blue Shield had 80 percent
of the market before the
law went into effect, just
516 people chose coverage
offered by the nonprofit
Medica.
“When you had the lion’s
share before, you’re going
to have the lion’s share
again,” said Neil Scharpe,
a service contract specialist with North Dakota
Center for Persons with
Disabilities, who coordinates enrollment outreach
workers.
The federal government,
which operates the insurance marketplaces, or exchanges, for 36 states, is
not keeping track of how
many people enroll in plans
offered by nonprofits compared with for-profit plans,

said Courtney Porter Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the
Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services. In the
absence of federal data, The
Associated Press surveyed
the status of nonprofit insurers in numerous states, primarily those running their
own exchanges. In some
states, some of the larger insurers are also not-for-profit.
And while the federal
government has loaned $2
billion to the 23 co-ops, officials are not expressing
concern with their enrollment figures or their ability to repay the loans. Porter Jenkins said her agency
is encouraged so far but
will be monitoring the coops’ progress.

Ken Voorhees cuts a board while building a stairway for a customer in Lisbon, Maine. Voorhees, who is self-employed, signed up for
health insurance with Maine Health Community Options. Overall,
consumers signing up for health insurance on the marketplaces
created under President Barack Obama’s health care law have
consistently turned to big-name insurers over smaller nonprofits
and startups. But Maine has gone the other way, with a vast majority of residents putting their trust in the new nonprofit co-op.

OPINION

Who cares about
the value of work?
By E.J. Dionne
Finding a way out of our
current political impasse
requires some agreement
on what problems we need
to solve.
If anything should unite
left, center and right, it is
the value of work and the
idea, in Bill Clinton’s signature phrase, that those who
“work hard and play by the
rules” ought to be rewarded
for their efforts.
This is why one of last
week’s most important and
least noted political events
was the introduction of the
21st Century Worker Tax
Cut Act by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. Murray favors
a minimum wage increase
to $10.10 an hour, but she
also has other ideas that
would help Americans at
the bottom of the income
structure to earn more.
Let’s start with principles, and then move to specifics. There’s a new vogue
among conservatives: to
talk less about entrepreneurs and to stop talking
altogether about “makers”
and “takers.” Instead, many
of the wisest heads on the
right are urging a focus on
work. The new emphasis
reflects a realization that
President Obama won in
2012 in large part because
Mitt Romney and his party
failed to convey empathy
for those who live on wages
and salaries.
An early champion of
this view was Ramesh Ponnuru, a writer for National
Review.
“The Republican story
about how societies prosper — not just the Romney
story — dwelt on the heroic entrepreneur stifled by
taxes and regulations,” he
wrote shortly after the election. It is, Ponnuru added,
“an important story with

which most people do not
identify.”
Writing earlier this year
in National Affairs magazine, Henry Olsen of the
Ethics and Public Policy
Center was more biting.
“Modern conservatives,”
he argued, “have tended to
discount the moral value of
the average person, focusing instead on extolling
the moral superiority of the
great.”
Two other conservative
thinkers, Reihan Salam and
Rich Lowry, say the antidote is for Republicans to
become “the party of work.”
As they see it, work “stands
for a constellation of values
and, like education, is universally honored.”
The GOP, they said,
“should extol work and
demand it.” Yes, that last
phrase — “demand it” —
could lead to a darker kind
of politics involving the
demonization of those who
simply can’t find jobs. Thus
did Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
get into trouble for mourning “this tailspin of culture,
in our inner cities in particular, of men not working
and just generations of men
not even thinking about
working.”
No matter what Ryan was
trying to say, he seemed to
be emphasizing the flaws of
the unemployed themselves
rather than the cost of economic injustice. Blaming
poverty on the mysterious
influence of ‘culture’ is a
convenient excuse for doing nothing to address the
problem.”
Nonetheless, many conservatives really do realize
that they need to embrace
hardworking Americans.
But the question stands:
What are they willing to do
about it?
This is where Murray
comes in. Her bill would

rid the tax code of certain
disincentives to work. She
notes that “the second
earner in a household often
pays a higher tax rate on
his or her earnings than the
first.” Her plan would right
this by offering a 20 percent
deduction on the second
earner’s income.
For a $25,000-a-year second earner in the 25 percent bracket, she says, this
would mean $1,250 “back
in their pocket for groceries, child care or retirement
savings.” She’d also expand
the Earned Income Tax
Credit for workers without children and lower the
eligibility age from 25 to
21. The changes would
increase their maximum
benefit from $487 to about
$1,400 a year.
It’s
hardly
nirvana.
But for someone earning
around $15,000 a year, it’s
real money. The proposal
would cover its roughly
$15 billion annual cost by
closing loopholes already
identified as worthy of being scrapped by the GOP’s
leading tax reformer, Rep.
Dave Camp of Michigan.
You can, of course, look
at what Murray is doing as a
way of calling the conservatives’ bluff on the matter of
work. But that will be true
only if the right allows its
bluff to be called. In making
their case, Salam and Lowry quoted Abraham Lincoln
on the need “to advance the
condition of the honest,
struggling laboring man.”
If conservatives are serious about this (and about
the honest, laboring woman, too) they’ll join Murray in raising the minimum
wage and in seeking a tax
code more in harmony with
the dignity of work.

Conservatives to women: Go get married
By Dana Milbank
The conservative minds of the Heritage
Foundation have found a way for Republicans to shrink the gender gap: They need
to persuade more women to get their
MRS degrees.
The advocacy group held a gathering
of women of the right Monday afternoon
to mark the final day of Women’s History
Month — and the consensus was that
women ought to go back in history. If Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg’s mantra
is “lean in,” these women were proposing
that women lean back: Get married, take
care of kids and let men earn the wages.
“We’re gathered to celebrate Women’s
History Month, but I don’t celebrate Women’s History Month,” announced writer
Mona Charen, one of the panelists. “It
doesn’t interest me whether a person who
happens to share my chromosomes sits in
the Oval Office. It doesn’t interest me how
many women members of the Senate there
are.”
What interests Charen and the other
women on the stage is their belief, as
Charen put it, that “feminism has done so
much damage to happiness.” And the solution to this damage, it turns out, is matrimony — the same thing that will solve
problems such as income inequality and
the Republican Party’s standing among
women.
“We should show concern for everybody
by extending the marriage franchise to
everybody,” panelist Mollie Hemingway
proposed. “Everybody go out, right now,
go get married if you’re not married,” she
said to laughter, “and we should be able to
solve all these problems.”
“If we truly want women to thrive,”
Charen concurred, “we have to revive the
marriage norm.”
This, they argued, also would have the
felicitous effect of making women more
Republican. Charen contended that “it is
the decline of marriage that is the lodestar
for why people’s voting behavior is what it
is,” and Hemingway asserted that “we do
not have a sex gap here in voting. We have
a marriage gap.”
As a matter of statistics, this is true:
President Obama’s 11-point win among
women in 2012 came entirely from his
36-point advantage among unmarried
women. But Republicans will be waiting
a long time if they think they can improve
their fortunes by persuading more women
to get hitched. Essentially, they’re saying
that Republicans aren’t the ones who need
to change — women are.

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.

There’s a running debate on the tradeoffs of feminism, but this sort of traditional assault on the movement is unlikely to
boost the GOP’s standing among women.
If Republicans want to appeal to more unmarried women, they might reconsider
the no-exception opposition to abortion
and, increasingly, birth control that dominates the party. Otherwise, a throwback
strategy of convincing unmarried women
that they have been misled by feminism is
tantamount to convincing Hispanics that
they have been led astray by immigration
advocates or telling young voters that
they have been deceived by the gay rights
movement.
Charen went on at length about feminism’s “disdain for family life” and its
“bogus and much-debunked statistics,” including the claim that women earn 77 percent of what men do for the same work.
Indeed, she said, “it’s men and boys who
are falling behind,” with male wages and
workforce participation declining “alarmingly.”
Inverting Gloria Steinem, she argued
that “women need feminism like a fish
needs a bicycle.” Said Charen: “Women
know that because of the nature of their
bodies, because they carry and bear children and nurse and nurture children,
that they need protection and support.
… Feminism disdains this natural urge.”
Feminism also, Charen said, creates college campuses “where hooking up is considered normal and date rape is difficult
to prevent.”
Karin Agness, founder of the conservative Network of Enlightened Women, took
issue with Sandberg’s “Lean In” and “Ban
Bossy” efforts, which encourage women
and girls to be assertive. “Rather than try
to ban words like ‘bossy,’ let’s try to promote real leadership skills, like developing
a thick skin,” she said.
The reality, the panelists at Heritage
said, is that women are less happy than
they were before the feminist movement,
that women enjoy domestic work, and that
most moms would prefer not to work full
time, if at all.
Maybe so. But it will take some convincing. The audience for these pronouncements Monday was small and mostly
male, many of them apparently Heritage
interns.
“Wow,” said John Hilboldt, Heritage’s
lectures director, as he opened the session. “Where are all the ladies?”
It’s a question Republicans may be asking for a long time.

COLUMBUS — Hospital maternity
units and newborn care nurseries would
have to report the number of infants born
addicted to drugs under a bill headed to
Ohio’s governor.
The state Senate unanimously passed
the measure Wednesday, and Gov. John
Kasich was expected to sign it.
The measure is one of several aimed
at reducing the state’s prescription painkiller addiction epidemic. Supporters say
tracking the number of drug-addicted
babies will help the state monitor Ohio’s
progress in fighting drug addiction.
The facilities would be required

to report the information to the
state Health Department every three
months. Patients would not be identified, and the information could not be
used for law enforcement purposes.
Should a maternity unit, maternity
home or newborn care nursery fail
to comply with the requirement, the
state could impose a fine or revoke or
suspend its license.
Overdose drug deaths have been the
leading cause of accidental death in Ohio
since 2007, surpassing car crashes. Many
of those deaths are from painkillers and
heroin.
Opiates and narcotics taken by the
mother during pregnancy can pass
through the placenta through the baby,

causing the infant to be born dependent
on harmful drugs.
The babies experience neonatal abstinence syndrome and face an array
of health complications, said state Sen.
Shannon Jones, a Springboro Republican.
“These newborns are thrown into painful withdrawal symptoms, such as rapid
breathing, vomiting and seizures immediately following their birth,” she said.
Jones told her colleagues on the Senate floor that she had witnessed children
withdrawing. “It is the most horrifying
thing that I have personally experienced,”
she said.
Caring for the drug-addicted newborns
and mothers, who are often on Medicaid,
can be costly to the system.

Ohio inmate freed in 1988 murder sues prosecutors
By Amanda Lee Myers
Associated Press

CINCINNATI — An
Ohio man freed after
spending 20 years in prison for a murder that his
attorneys say he didn’t
commit has sued those
responsible for his conviction, accusing them of taking advantage of his mental illness and railroading
him into confessing.
The civil rights lawsuit, filed in federal court
in Cleveland on Monday,
says that Richland County
Prosecutor James Mayer
and his employees violated
Tinney’s
constitutional
rights by exploiting his
well-documented and severe mental illness, and
used coercion and bribery
to secure his confession.
The lawsuit, which
seeks unspecified damages, also accused the county
of implementing a de facto
policy of pursuing wrongful convictions “through
profoundly flawed investigations and coerced evidence.”
“Mr. Tinney has won
back his freedom, but he
will never regain the decades lost,” the lawsuit
says. “Mr. Tinney must
now attempt to make a
life for himself without
the benefit of over two decades of life experiences
and relationships with his
family.”
Mayer and county commissioners did not return
messages seeking comment Wednesday.
Tinney pleaded guilty
in 1992 to the beating
death four years earlier of

33-year-old Ted White at
the waterbed store White
owned in Mansfield in
northern Ohio.
Tinney confessed to the
murder while serving time
in prison in an unrelated
robbery after the prosecutor’s office targeted
the case as part of Mayer’s
campaign promises to
solve cold cases.
Richland County Judge
James DeWeese ordered
Tinney’s release last year,
saying that while it was
impossible to prove his innocence, his confessions
didn’t support a murder
conviction and in fact,
suggested that he was not
guilty.
DeWeese’s order came
after a weeklong evidentiary hearing, which showed
that Tinney’s five separate
confessions to the murder
varied greatly from one
another and that most of
the details he gave did
not match the facts of the
case, including the murder
weapon used.
“Mr. Tinney confessed
to killing a man he could
not identify (in photographs), for conflicting
motives which don’t match
the facts, at the wrong
time of day, with a weapon
that does not match the
victim’s injuries, by striking him in the wrong part
of his head, and stealing
items the victim either still
possessed after the attack
or probably never possessed,” DeWeese wrote.
At the time of his confessions, Tinney was not
taking medication for paranoid schizophrenia and de-

business in this
space, or bigger

pression, suffered from hallucinations and delusions,
and could not discern fact
from fiction, according to
the lawsuit.
“Mr. Tinney’s mental
illness made it impossible
for him to either provide
reliable information to
(the prosecutor’s office)
regarding the White homicide or exercise his free

attention of the Cincinnati-based Ohio Innocence
Project, which defends inmates they’ve identified as
being wrongly imprisoned.
Mayer has argued in
court that Tinney is guilty
and that his inconsistent
confessions are the product of police animosity toward him.
Mayer said that when he

ran for prosecutor in 1988,
most Mansfield police officers backed his opponent.
He also cited several conflicts with the agency’s officers over the years.
DeWeese rejected those
arguments, finding the
Mansfield officers who
worked on the case were
professional and their investigation extensive.

Lady Marauders rock River Valley, 16-6
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A fast
start propels the Lady Marauders to
victory.
The Meigs softball team posted 11
runs in the first inning of Monday
night’s 16-6 victory over non-conference guest River Valley.
The Lady Marauders (2-2) strung
together seven hits in the opening inning, and with the aid of three River
Valley (1-2) errors, posted 11 runs.
After a scoreless top of the first
the Lady Raider offense got things
going in the top of the second with
four runs, highlighted by a three-run
triple by Chelsea Copley.
Meigs answered with three runs
in the bottom of the second to push
the lead to 14-4. River Valley scored

twice in the top of the third, while
MHS added a run in the home half of
the fourth inning. The Lady Marauders scored again in the sixth frame to
enforce the mercy rule.
Alliyah Pullins earned the victory
after giving up six runs on five hits
and five walks in a complete game
effort. Pullins struck out five Lady
Raiders and hit one.
Bethany Gilbert was the losing
pitcher of record after surrendering
14 runs in two innings of work. Ashley Gilmore threw four innings and
gave up two runs, while walking two
and striking out two.
Devyn Oliver, Brook Andrus, Bre
Colburn and Katie Gilkey, while Sadie Fox, Danielle Morris and Lindsay
Patterson each had one hit. Oliver
scored a game-high five runs, while

Gilkey, Andrus and Pullins each
scored a run. Colburn, Fox, Morris,
Patterson and Ariel Ellis each scored
once, while Oliver, Andrus, Colburn,
Gilkey, Fox, Morris and Patterson
each had an RBI.
The River Valley offense was led
by Copley with two hits, a triple and
a single, while Gilbert and Gilmore each singled and Alexis Hurt
doubled. Hurt scored twice, while
Gilmore, Erin Morgan, Libby Leach
and Reilly Barcus each crossed home
plate once. Copley had three runs
batted in to lead RVHS, while Gilbert, Hurt and Morgan each had one
RBI. Copley and Leach each had one
stolen base.
River Valley will look to avenge
this loss on April 29 when the Maroon and Gold visit Cheshire.

As Cincinnati Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco, right, waits for
the throw, Texas Rangers center fielder Engel Beltre scores a
run and is hit by the ball at the plate in the fifth inning, Sunday, June 30, 2013, in Arlington, Texas.

Reds expecting some
help in weeks ahead
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Reliever Jonathan Broxton
could be ready to pitch next
week, giving the Cincinnati
Reds an experienced closer
until Aroldis Chapman is
ready to return from a head
injury.
Manager Bryan Price
said Wednesday that if all
goes well, Broxton could be
activated off the 15-day disabled list during a series in
St. Louis at the start of next
week. Broxton is recovering
from surgery on his pitching
forearm last August.
One of Cincinnati’s biggest concerns entering the
season is the lack of a proven
closer because of injuries.
Chapman was hit on the
forehead by a line drive during spring training and had a
plate inserted above his left
eye. He’s not expected back
until May. For now, Price is
splitting the role depending
upon how the game goes
and which hitters are due up
in the final inning.
Broxton saved 23 games for
Kansas City in 2012 and four
more for the Reds after a midseason trade. He was used in a
setup role last season.
“Once he gets reacquainted with being back here, he’ll
be that guy to hold down the
fort until Chapman’s ready
to go,” Price said.
Left-hander Sean Marshall, limited by longstanding shoulder problems, also
could come off the disabled

list in the middle of the
month, Price said.
Until Broxton is back,
Price will pick his closer on
a game-by-game basis. He
had J.J. Hoover warming up
in the eighth inning of a 1-0
loss to St. Louis on Monday,
getting him ready in case the
Reds took the lead.
“He was the guy to close
out that particular situation,” Price said. “I’m not to
the point where I’m going to
designate a guy at this point.
We anticipate Broxton being
back relatively quickly.”
The Reds opened the season with eight players on
the disabled list, their most
since 2007. After a threegame series against the
defending National League
champions, they play a
three-game series in New
York against the Mets over
the weekend, then go to St.
Louis for three more.
Starter Mat Latos had
surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee Feb. 14,
the day camp opened. He’s
scheduled to pitch in a minor
league game in Pensacola,
Fla., on Thursday. He’ll also
pitch for Triple-A Louisville
in Columbus next week.
If he gets through those
two games without a problem, he’ll rejoin the rotation.
Catcher Devin Mesoraco also could rejoin the
club next week. He’s on
the disabled list with a
strained oblique.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari is unpayy with the first few minutes of the game against Louisville in the NCAA
Tournament’s Midwest Region semifinal at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Friday.

One-and-done working just fine for Kentucky
DALLAS (AP) — Everyone has an opinion of John
Calipari.
He’s a pariah to some, successful only because of
his ability to attract one-and-done stars destined for
the NBA. They point to him as a scourge of college
basketball, arguing that he’s complicit — responsible,
even — in stripping “student” from student-athletes.
Then there are those who see him as an elite coach,
the architect of successful programs at UMass, Memphis and now Kentucky. He’s churned out players who
are making millions in the pros, and it is hard to argue
that he’s let any of them down.
“He does get the best guys, but he challenges them
and pushes them to be who they are,” said New Orleans Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans, who played one
season for Calipari at Memphis.
“That’s the thing about playing for him,” Evans
said. “You’ve got to be willing to take on the challenge,
and take on him getting on you every day in practice.
Some guys can handle it, some guys can’t. Before you
get there, he’ll tell you that.”
Those who accept the challenge are usually rewarded.
His group at Memphis headlined by Derrick Rose
reached the national title game in 2008, though the
trip was later vacated. Another troupe of young stars
led by Anthony Davis beat Kansas to win Kentucky’s
eighth national championship in 2012.
And the latest group of fabulous freshmen has the
Wildcats back in the Final Four, knocking off three
of the top four seeds in the Midwest Region along
the way. They’ll start five first-year players Saturday
against Wisconsin, headlined by twin guards Andrew
and Aaron Harrison and power forward Julius Randle, a potential lottery pick in the June draft.
“He’s tough on us,” said Randle, when asked to describe what it’s like to play for Calipari. “You may not
like it some days, but at the end of the day, it’s what’s
best for us.”
Calipari is hardly unique. Ohio State’s Thad Matta
has churned out five one-and-dones since 2006, and
Rick Barnes of Texas has produced four. Duke coach
Mike Krzyzewski has lost a couple, and could lose
standout Jabari Parker makes his stay-or-go decision.

It’s just that Calipari is the biggest offender — or
opportunist.
Since 2006, he’s sent 13 one-and-done players to
the NBA. They’ve combined to make more than $181
million in salary alone. And if all of them play through
their current contracts, that total would surpass $460
million — nearly equaling the gross domestic product
of the island nation of Tonga — even with several of
them playing out relatively paltry rookie contracts.
That figure doesn’t include endorsement deals, either. Throw in the millions they’re paid for hawking
sneakers, apparel and everything else, and the total
closes in on a billion.
“He put a lot of responsibility on us at a young age,”
said Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins,
who played for Calipari at Kentucky. “That basically
prepared us for the next level.”
It’s important to note that Calipari doesn’t agree
with the current NBA rules, which require that players be a year removed from high school before entering the draft. If it were up to him, he said last week, it
would be a two-year waiting period.
“But it’s between the NBA and the players’ association. Has nothing to do with me or the NCAA,” Calipari said. “So I just think we’re all playing the hand
we’re dealt. Kids are going on to the league from us
and performing. And I’m proud of that. Would I like
to have had them for four years? Yes. But I also like
what’s happened for them and their families.”
Many rival coaches have a similar viewpoint.
“I think when student-athletes pick a school and go
to college, they go to have the best chance to have the
best life,” offered Kansas coach Bill Self, who had Andrew Wiggins become his third one-and-done player
when the freshman declared for the draft this week.
Of course, there are still plenty of detractors. Final
Four counterpart Bo Ryan appeared to take a veiled
jab at Calipari this week when he said: “What I like
about the Wisconsin fans is they understand these are
student-athletes who actually are here for the purpose
of an education first and playing ball second. That’s
what I believe makes them really endearing.”

By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The
Meigs baseball team remained
unbeaten Tuesday night following a 12-0 victory over visiting
River Valley in a non-conference
matchup in Meigs County.

The Marauders (3-0) took control from the opening pitch, as
the hosts sent 14 batters to the
plate in the bottom of the first
en route to establishing an 8-0
advantage. Meigs tacked on two
run in the third and two more in
the fourth for a 12-run cushion,
then retired RVHS in order again

in the fifth to wrap up the mercyrule decision.
The Raiders (0-2) were outhit
by a 7-3 overall margin and went
hitless through three full frames
of play. Trey Farley, Tim Kemper and Jordan Gilliland each
had singles in the fourth, but the
guests ultimately never scored.

Derik Hill and Damon Jones
with a safety apiece. Rowe and
Chase Whitlatch each scored
twice for the victors, while Davis, Musser, Jones, Ray Johnson,
Cody Bartrum, Ty Phelps, Kaileb
Sheets and T.J. Williams also accounted for a run apiece.

Luke Musser was the winning
pitcher of record after allowing
just three hits and two walks
over four innings while striking
out four. Gilliland took the loss
for the Raiders.
Taylor Rowe led the hosts with
two hits, followed by Musser,

Gallia Academy Blue Angels rally past Fairland, 10-3
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CENTENARY, Ohio —
A little help never hurts.
The Gallia Academy softball team claimed a 2-to-1
advantage in hits and also
benefited from seven Fair-

land errors Tuesday night
during a 10-3 home victory
in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County.
After going scoreless
through two complete, the
Blue Angels (2-0) found
themselves in a hole as
the visiting Lady Dragons

plated three runs in the
top of the third for a comfortable 3-0 edge.
GAHS countered with four
runs in its half of the third for
a permanent lead at 4-3, then
the hosts tacked on three
more runs in both the fourth
and sixth frames to extend

their lead out to 10-3 headed
into the finale. Fairland (0-1)
went down in order in the
seventh, allowing the Blue
and White to remain unbeaten early on in the season.
Gallia Academy — which
committed two errors in the
victory — outhit the guests

by an 8-4 overall margin.
Violet Pelfrey was the winning pitcher of record after
working three innings in the
circle, while Allison Shepherd took the loss for FHS.
Jenna Meadows paced
the hosts with two hits,

Blue Devils fall to Fairland, 6-5
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — Too little,
too late.
The Gallia Academy baseball team
posted a run in the seventh inning
Tuesday night but couldn’t complete
the comeback as non-conference guest
Fairland escaped Gallia County with a
6-5 triumph over the Blue Devils.
Both the Blue Devils (1-1) and Dragons both marked a run in the first inning and FHS retook the lead in the
top of the second with a run. GAHS
took its first advantage of the evening

with a two-run second inning, putting
the score at 3-2.
Fairland, which tied the game in the
top of the third, regained control with
a run in the top of the fourth inning
and led 4-3. Gallia Academy pushed
a run across in the bottom of the fifth
to tie the game once again but a tworun sixth by the guest put the Dragons
back in the drivers seat. The Blue and
White scored once in the seventh but
Fairland claimed the 6-5 victory.
Adam Taylor earned the win for
Fairland after throwing 5.1 innings in
which he gave up nine hits and four
runs. Collin Damron threw 1.1 innings

and earned the save.
Gage Childers took the loss on the
mound for GAHS but he did strike out
eight batters in 5.2 innings.
Childers, Eric Sheets and Kole Carter were all 2-for-4 for GAHS, while
Anthony Sipple and Matt Bailey each
posted 1-for-4 efforts at the plate.
Fairland’s offense was led by Trace
Adkins with two hits, while Kyle Sowards, Collin Damon, Tyler Campbell, Dylan Murphy, Luke Phillips and
Adam Taylor each had one hit.
GAHS will have a second shot at the
Dragons on April 10, when the Blue
Devils visit Proctorville.

From Page 6
It’s not the first time that Calipari has
heard that argument.
“We’ve had a 3.0 grade-point average for
the last four seasons,” he said, “and they
go to class. It’s not Internet, correspondence. They go to class, for four seasons.
Brandon Knight was a straight-A student.
Alex Poythress is a straight-A student.
They all go to school.”
Besides, if college is truly about preparing kids for a career, what happens on the
hardwood at Kentucky amounts to graduate-level work in basketball. Calipari is simply the professor.
“There were guys who went there before
me who thought they were going to be
ready for the NBA,” Evans explained, “but
he’d tell them, ‘You’re not ready.’”
And if they are ready? Well, the NBA’s
former rookie of the year remembers his
conversation with Calipari after the final
game of his freshman season.
“He said, ‘Hey, you’re a good player. I enjoyed having you. Good luck on the next level,’” Evans said. “That was pretty much it.”

St. Albans edges
Lady Knights
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ST. ALBANS, W. Va. — Its not always how you start
but rather how you finish.
The Point Pleasant girls tennis team won the first two
singles matches, as well as the first doubles match, but
St. Albans won the other four matches and won the nonconference match at Coonskin Park.
Point Pleasant’s Valerie Smith topped Breann Spencer
of St. Albans in the opening match by an 8-4 count, while
Kelsey Allbright took an 8-0 victory over Rachel Blake in
the second singles match of the night.
The Lady Knights led 2-0 but St. Albans’ Katelyn Caplinger took the third singles by a 8-3 score over Kaitlyn
Dunn and Maddie Rudge defeated Gretchen Nibert 2-8 in
the fourth singles match.
The duo of Smith and Allbright defeated Spencer and Caplinger to take the first doubles match by a 8-2 count. The
second doubles match went to Rudge and Kaitlyn Gregg
by an 8-4 count over Dunn and Nibert. In the final doubles
match Ealisha Ebert and Macy Adkins of Point Pleasant fell
to Rachel Neidlinger and Madi Price of SAHS by a count of
8-2, giving the Lady Red Dragons the 4-3 victory.
Point Pleasant will have one more shot at St. Albans,
when the Lady Knights host the Lady Red Dragons on
April 30.

College athletes
take labor cause
to Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Northwestern University
athletes trying to unionize presented their case
to lawmakers Wednesday
after a federal agency said
they have the same rights
to bargain collectively as
other workers.
“Health and safety of athletes is the concern, especially to reduce the risk of
brain trauma,” said Ramogi
Huma, president of the National Colleges Players Association, an advocacy group.
Added former Northwestern quarterback Kain
Colter, co-founder of the
association: “We’re up here
raising awareness.”
Even though the issue
is not directly before lawmakers, “Congress is an
important part of the chess

board,” Colter said after
meeting with Sen. Sherrod
Brown, D-Ohio.
Brown said “the right
to fair treatment is why all
workers, no matter the job
or venue, should have the
opportunity to unionize.”
“College athletes dedicate the same hours to
their support as full-time
employees and deserve the
same protections as any
other worker,” Brown said
in a statement.
Colter, Huma and Tim
Waters, national policy director of the United Steelworkers union, were trying
to drum up support during
their time on Capitol Hill on
Wednesday and Thursday.
The Steelworkers are underwriting and financing
the effort.

Dayton players Devon Scott (40) and Scoochie Smith (11) celebrate at the end of the game in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet
16 at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, March 27. The Dayton Flyers defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 82-72.

Dayton’s future bright after Elite Eight run
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — After Dayton’s best postseason run
in 30 years, coach Archie Miller is
confident it won’t take the Flyers
nearly as long to repeat that success.
No. 11 seed Dayton knocked
off Ohio State, Syracuse and Stanford before falling to top seed
Florida 62-52 Saturday night in
the NCAA tournament’s South
Regional.
The scrappy team from the Atlantic 10 was the tournament’s favorite underdog by the end of its
run — blasting past big-name programs and all the way to the Elite
Eight with a deep rotation that
specialized in defense and energy.
The architect was Miller — an
intense 35-year-old from Pennsylvania who comes from a coaching
family. Older brother Sean guided
Arizona to the same point in the
NCAA tournament, exiting just
hours after his sibling when the
Wildcats lost to Wisconsin 64-63
in overtime.
“I think the blueprint is now set
that we know how to do it, and we
can do it,” Archie Miller said after Saturday’s loss. “That’s going

to be a credit to these guys who
have taken us across the bridge,
so to speak.”
The Flyers’ success also has
made their coach a hot commodity. Dayton athletic director Tim
Wabler announced earlier this
week that Miller’s contract had
been extended through the 201819 season, though a bigger-name
program could be interested in
the coming weeks.
Dayton should be good again
next season. The Flyers expect
to return three starters, including
sophomore Dyshawn Pierre, who
scored 18 against the Gators. Five
more from the bench who saw
regular minutes also will be back.
One of the three departing
seniors — guard Vee Sanford —
said those who view Dayton as
a small-time program are misinformed. Dayton was one of six
teams from the Atlantic 10 that
received an NCAA tournament
bid this year.
“Nothing about the University
of Dayton is Cinderella or small,”
Sanford said Friday when talking
about the team’s unexpected run.
“We have the best facilities and

we’re on top of our things academically.”
Junior Devin Oliver scored 12
points in Saturday’s loss to Florida. He said Miller’s work ethic
has been crucial to the team’s development.
“(He’s) a guy who comes to
work every day and that trickles
down to his players,” Oliver said.
“He’ll get in a drill and box you
out — whatever it takes. He’s just
a guy that loves to win more than
anything. He never wants to be
looked over or anything like that.
It’s just a toughness and a passion that has trickled down to his
team.”
Miller said he appreciated the
sacrifice his players made to play
his style. The Flyers used 11 or
12 players on most nights and
playing time could vary widely
depending on who was being productive on a given night.
The approach has been successful, and the expectations for the
program have risen exponentially.
“The vision will never change,”
Miller said. “We’ll try to get back
here and break through one day.”

Ex-Eagles WR DeSean Jackson signs with Redskins
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Adding DeSean Jackson to an offense with Robert Griffin III should make
the Washington Redskins
fun to watch again.
Adding Jackson to a
locker room culture undergoing yet another overhaul
could be the greater challenge.
The Redskins made their
biggest move yet of the
2014 offseason Wednesday when Jackson signed
a contract after two days
of visits and negotiations,
highlighted by a recruiting-style evening out with
cornerback DeAngelo Hall,
receiver Pierre Garcon and
rapper Wale.
Jackson will get $16
million guaranteed in the
three-year, $24 million
deal, according to a person familiar with the terms
who spoke on condition
of anonymity because the
Redskins did not publicly
disclose the financial details.
“It’s an exciting time to
be a Redskins fan and a
part of this team because
of the firepower that we
have,” Griffin said in a
statement to reporters.
“Everyone needs to understand that we haven’t won
anything yet, and these
next few months will be
about building those bonds
and chemistry so that we
can.”
The Redskins are get-

ting a three-time Pro Bowl
receiver with speed, someone who singlehandedly
can change a defense’s approach. He set career highs
with 82 catches for 1,332
yards last year for the NFC
East champion Philadelphia Eagles. And Jackson,
who led the NFL in punt
return average in 2009, can
give a badly needed boost
to Washington’s special
teams, although his production in the return game
has waned over the last
three years.
The Redskins are also
getting a player not afraid
to speak his mind and who
isn’t shy about his talents.
He had a history of offthe-field issues in his six
seasons with the Eagles.
Among the lowlights: In
2011, he was deactivated
for a game for being late
for a team meeting and
dropped more passes than
usual, part of a season-long
spillover from his unfulfilled desire for a new contract that led to an 11-day
training camp holdout.
Last year, in Chip Kelly’s
first season as the Eagles’
coach, Jackson fumed at
members of the coaching
staff on the sideline during a game and had to be
restrained by two teammates, upset because he
didn’t get the ball when he
was wide open. After the
season was over, he lobbied for yet another new

contract — just two years
after getting a five-year,
$48.2 million deal that included a $10 million signing bonus.
The Eagles decided
enough was enough and
tried unsuccessfully to
trade Jackson. They released him last week, and
Jackson on the same day
issued a statement aimed
at quashing another offthe-field report, denying
any involvement in gang
activity near his hometown
in Southern California.
The Redskins are coming off a 3-13 season overwhelmed by bad chemistry between coach Mike
Shanahan and franchise
player Griffin. Shanahan
was fired and replaced by
Jay Gruden, who will be
trying to set a new tone in
the locker room.
The Redskins have
weighed the risk-reward
of talent-with-baggage before, with mixed results.
Hall was known as much
for his temperament as
his talent when he arrived
midseason in 2008, but
he’s emerged as a team
leader, made the Pro Bowl
in 2010 and was re-signed
last month.
But there was also Albert Haynesworth, who
signed a massive contract
in 2009 and gave the team
one off-the-field headache
after another over two seasons.

The Redskins are losing one of their veteran
leaders, linebacker London Fletcher, who has announced plans to retire.
Fletcher’s
replacement,
leadership-wise, might be
safety Ryan Clark, who
agreed to terms earlier this
week and signed his deal
Wednesday.
“You know I’m going to
work hard. I’m going to
be in the building. And if
things need to be said to
players, I’ll say them to
the players,” the 34-yearold Clark, who returns to
Washington after eight
seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, told ESPN.
“I won’t bring it to the media and say, ‘Hey, I had this
talk,’ or, ‘I said this to so
and so.’ But RG3, he has to
be the leader of this team.”
If Jackson fits in, he’ll
join an offense that includes skill players Griffin,
Garcon, Andre Roberts,
Jordan Reed and Alfred
Morris — a formidable
lineup if the line holds up.
The Redskins had been
relatively cautious this offseason with general manager Bruce Allen in charge
of the roster for the first
time. Their biggest move
previously had been at the
expense of another NFC
East rival, signing defensive lineman Jason Hatcher as a free agent from the
Dallas Cowboys.

AP Sports Briefs
Seattle investor group
remains focused on NBA
SEATTLE (AP) — The investor
who attempted to purchase the Sacramento Kings and move them to
Seattle says his investment group is
solely focused on pursuing the NBA
and is not interested in owning an
NHL franchise.
Chris Hansen told The Associated
Press on Wednesday that no one in
his ownership group has interest in
being the majority owner of a hockey
franchise even as rumors continue to

circulate about the NHL having interest in Seattle as a possible market
in the future.
Hansen says the focus of his group
is getting all environmental reviews
finished on their proposed arena so
that if an NBA franchise becomes
available via sale or expansion, Seattle can be at the front of the line
ready to go.
Hansen says his investment group
remains the same, including former
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Steelers sign WR
Darrius Heyward-Bey
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers and free agent wide
receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey have
agreed to terms on a 1-year contract.
Heyward-Bey caught 29 passes
for 307 yards and a touchdown in 11
games last season with Indianapolis.
He spent the first four seasons of
his career in Oakland, catching 140
passes for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdowns in 56 games with the Raiders
before being released last spring.
