Stout, 71 50 cents daily TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 54 Calendine files suit against Pomeroy Chief Proffitt, Mayor Welker also named as defendants By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Village of Pomeroy is once again the defendant in a civil action filed last week in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. A civil action was filed Friday by former Pomeroy police officer Kyle Calendine alleging he was improperly suspended from his position as an officer with the department. The complaint filed by Portsmouth attorney Michael H. Mearan contradicts the actions taken by Pomeroy Village Council on April 22, 2013. The Daily Sentinel’s report from that meeting — which appeared in the April 24, 2013, edition — reads in part: “Officer Kyle Calendine’s resignation was approved by a 5-1 vote following a more than 30-minute executive session during Monday’s regular meeting. Calendine was drawn into the national media spotlight briefly in February amid allegations of discrimination against his sexual preference. “Council President Ruth Spaun requested the executive session to discuss disciplinary matters with a police department employee. “Following the executive session, it was stated that no action would be taken with regard to the matter discussed. “The motion was then made to accept the resignation of Calendine. Spaun was the lone ‘no’ vote to accept the officer’s resignation. “Calendine was on the agenda for Monday’s meeting and was in attendance, but did not address council. Police Chief Mark Proffitt said Calendine’s resignation was effective April 15. According to the resignation letter, Calendine is taking a position with another department. He said the letter did not reference the controversy from earlier this year, nor did it specify with which department Calendine would be working. Proffitt told The Daily Sentinel that Calendine’s decision pertained, at least in part, to the distance of his commute to work from his Athens County residence.” Defendants named in the case are the Village of Pomeroy, Mark E. Proffitt, and Jackie Welker. Proffitt is the village police chief, while Welker was the acting mayor at the time of the allegations made in the suit. Welker has since been elected to the position. The civil action filed Fri- day states that on or about April 15, 2013, Proffitt placed Calendine under permanent suspension effectively discharging Calendine from his employment as a police officer for the Village of Pomeroy. Additional statements made in the complaint allege Calendine was not served with written notice of his suspension; that Mayor Jackie Welker did not provide Calendine with a hearing on the suspension; and that Calendine was not given the opportunity to appeal his suspension to village council as provided by law. Finally, Calendine alleges he was not suspended from his position as a police officer for the Village of Pomeroy in accordance with Ohio law and was wrongfully discharged. Calendine demands that his permanent suspension be vacated and that he be reinstated as an officer; that he be awarded back wages since April 15, 2013; that he be awarded future wages as the facts may admit; that he be awarded damages in excess of $25,000 for emotional distress and mental anguish caused by his suspension; he be provided a hearing upon his suspension; and for further relief as the court determines. There is also a demand for a jury trial. Calendine, along with Proffitt, were in the national news after they made allegations of antihomosexual comments against then-Mayor Mary McAngus. The allegations lead to the resignation of McAngus just days after the alleged comments were made public. Welker, who was president of council, replaced McAngus as mayor. The Village of Pomeroy is also defendant in two lawsuits with regard to the slip on Butternut Avenue, and the recently concluded suit filed by Banks Construction with regard to the old Pomeroy High School property.

A couple of months ago, the students began assisting members of the Middleport Church of Christ in preparing food for the fellowship dinners they serve on the last Friday of each month. The students, come in two groups, one around noon to assist church volunteers in the preparation of food, and the other mid-afternoon to help other church volunteers with serving the 150 or so residents who come to the dinners, and to help with the clean-up work which follows. One of the church workers said some of those who regularly attend the dinners are actually in need of a good meal, while others come for the fellowship with others. For the students it is not only a learning experience in food preparation, but one where the value of volunteering can be experienced. EHS student assists Linda Bates in mixing meat loaf.

POMEROY — On the recommendation of the county engineer, the Meigs County Commissioners approved vacating a portion of Township Road 367, Baker Road, in Bedford Township. Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett submitted a resolution that was approved by a unanimous vote of the commissioners with regard to Baker Road. A letter requesting that a portion of the road be vacated was received from the Bedford Township Trustees on Feb. 11. The portion of Baker Road now vacated is described in the resolution as follows: “Beginning at the junction of T-367, Baker Road, wit he east right of way of US 33, thence easterly approximately 301 feet, said point being 2522.95 feet (.478 mile), along the centerline of T-367 Baker Road, from the junction of T-367 Baker Road and County Road 20, Rocksrpings Road.” The resolution also provides for the continued easement to utilities running along the vacated area. The resolution was supported by Countrytime Realty LLC representatives Mark Graham and Donovan Coon, who were in attendance for the meeting. Countrytime Realty owns property in the area. The commissioners also approved a payment of $21,000 to Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District for the second half of the 2014 appropriation. The funds are to be placed in the special funds account and must be in place by April 30 for the agency to receive state match funds from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. An agreement with Boggs Pest Control was approved for the sheriff’s office for $38 per month. This is in addition to the contract already in place for the courthouse ($49) and the Chester Courthouse ($24). The commissioners received word that $1,616.27 has been received from Animal Care Equipment and Services LLC for the purchase of supplies at the dog shelter. These supplies include rabies gloves, animal scales, microchip scanner, bite stick and extendable bite stick. A fiscal officer’s certificate was also approved as presented by the Meigs County Highway Department. The certificate signed by the Meigs County Auditor Mary T. Byer-Hill certifies that $11,300 for guardrail replacement projects is appropriated for such purposes. 14th Leading Creek Stream Sweep slated for April 26 Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com RUTLAND — The 14th annual Leading Creek Stream Sweep will be 9 a.m. to noon April 26 at the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area on New Lima Road between Rutland and Harrisonville.

The Ukrainian government accused Russia of stirring up the unrest and vowed to quell it. Russia, which has tens of thousands of troops massed along the border, warned Ukraine of more “difficulties and crises” if its leaders fail to heed Moscow’s demands. In Washington, the U.S. said any move by Russia into eastern Ukraine would be a “very serious escalation” that could bring further sanctions. White House spokesman Jay Carney said there was strong evidence that some of the pro-Russian protesters in Ukraine were paid and were not local residents. At the same time, the U.S. announced that Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with top diplomats from Russia, Ukraine and the European Union in a new push to ease tensions. The meeting, the first such four-way talks since the crisis erupted, will take place in the next 10 days, the State Department said. Pro-Russian activists who seized the provincial administrative building in the city of Donetsk over the weekend announced the formation Monday of the independent Donetsk People’s Republic. They also called for a referendum on the secession of the Donetsk region, which borders Russia, to be held no later than May 11, according to the Russian news agency Interfax. A similar action was taken in another Russianspeaking city in the east, Kharkiv, where pro-Moscow activists declared themselves “alternative” regional legislators and proclaimed a “sovereign Kharkiv People’s Republic,” Interfax reported. Russia annexed Crimea last month, following a referendum called just two weeks after the Black Sea peninsula had been overtaken by Russian forces. Ukraine and the West have rejected the vote and the annexation as illegal. The activists who occupied the government building in Donetsk blocked off the entrance with 6-foot barricades of car tires lined with razor wire. Inside, dozens of people — almost all men, many of them wearing balaclavas and carrying clubs — stood around in groups. They refused to speak to journalists about their immediate plans. AP Photo An activist in a handmade metallic helmet stands behind a barricade at the regional administration building in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Monday. Outside the Donetsk building, a barricade of car tires and razor wire was built up to thwart police from retaking it. Interfax cited police in Donetsk as saying one armed group fired into the air and attempted to seize the regional state television broadcaster, but retreated after police and guards in the building also fired warning shots into the air. As darkness fell, people in a crowd of a few hundred fired off a brief fireworks salute that was greeted by chants of “Russia, Russia!” The Donetsk and Kharkiv regions — and a third Russian-speaking city besieged by pro-Moscow activists over the weekend, Luhansk —have a combined population of nearly 10 million out of Ukraine’s 46 million, and account for the bulk of the country’s industrial output. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused Russia of fomenting the unrest to create a pretext for sending troops in and taking another piece of Ukraine. “The plan is to destabilize the situation. The plan is for foreign troops to cross the border and seize the country’s territory, which we will not allow,” he said, adding that those taking part in the unrest had distinct Russian accents. �Tuesday, April 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 3 ObamaCare Campus Crisis group coming to Marietta College MARIETTA — Americans for Prosperity Ohio is continuing their ObamaCare Campus Crisis effort in Ohio with a stop at Marietta College on Thursday. “ObamaCare was sold to Ohioans as a means to make health care more affordable and more accessible.

Beth Sergent | Daily Sentinel Members of the United Steelworkers have been hoping for a favorable ruling from the Public Service Commission of West Virginia regarding a special rate proposal for the Felman plant in New Haven. That favorable ruling came down on Thursday. Pictured are members of USW 5171 during a visit to the Mason County Courthouse in February. Felman plant receives favorable ruling By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com NEW HAVEN — A collective sigh of relief could be heard from the manufacturing sector of Mason County on Thursday after Felman Production received a favorable ruling from the Public Service Commission of West Virginia. Without the ruling, Felman Production officials had said its New Haven plant, which manufactures silicomanganese (SiMn), would close, taking hundreds of jobs, many filled by the United Steelworkers, with it. “This is a win win for Felman and the people who work there,” Mason County Commission President Rick Handley said. Handley provided testimony to the PSC in support of Felman’s proposal to consider being given a special rate for electricity as provided under legislation passed by the West Virginia Legislature in 2012. The legislation is for special rates for energyintensive consumers under certain circumstances. “This is some positive news we’ve need in Mason County and not just because of the tax income,” Handley said. “It’s great news for people who work there and the communities in the Bend Area.” The PSC released a statement summarizing the order that was posted in its entirely on its website. The statement says the special rate plan approved on Thursday would give Felman a discount up to $9 million per year off its full electricity rate. The rate of the discount Felman could receive would be calculated each month based on the actual gross margin available in the SiMn market. The gross margin is calculated to be the difference between the market price of SiMn and the market price of the major raw materials that go into SiMn: manganese ore, coke and coal. “The plan satisfies the policy goals of the Legislature, addresses the concerns of Felman regarding the reopening of its plant, balances the interests of Appalachian Power Company, APCo’s present and future customers and the state’s economy, and was designed not to cause an additional financial burden on other APCo customers, including residential customers,” according to the PSC release. Felman Production was “It’s great news for people who work there and the communities in the Bend Area.” — Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley contacted about the news with spokesperson John McKenna saying the company would be sending out a statement as soon as possible, though it would likely not be ready by press time on Thursday as the news continued to break. It’s not known if Felman will agree to the specifics of the order and approved rate. If so, APCo and Felman are to enter into a contract, which is to be filed with the PSC by June 30. If the agreement is entered into, it’s not yet known how soon the plant can become fully operational again. In its official testimony to the PSC, Felman stated when active, the plant contributes in excess of $187 million per year to the West Virginia economy and supports approximately 524 jobs in the state. Testimony went on to say the plant has not been profitable since at least 2010, was shut down in July 2013 and would not reopen unless Felman was granted a special rate for electricity. When operational, Felman’s regular electric rate resulted in a $9.5 million annual contribution toward APCo’s fixed costs, such as the costs of owning and maintaining its generation, transmission and distribution lines, and general administrative expenses, according to the PSC release detailing the testimony. During the period while Felman is non-operational, those fixed costs must be borne by other customers. Giving Felman a maximum annual discount of $9 million assures that Felman pays at least $500,000 per year toward APCo’s fixed costs. In its order, the PSC set a target gross margin at which Felman would simply pay its normal rate for electricity. In a month where the actual gross margin is less than the target, Felman would qualify for a discount off its electric rates. In months when the actual gross margin is above the target, Felman would pay a premium above its regular rate. The PSC specified there was to be no maximum on the premium Felman would be required to pay as long as there was a cumulative balance of the discounts taken in the past. Once all the past discounts have been paid back by Felman through the premiums, the cumulative premium that Felman must pay will be capped at $4 million. According to the PSC, Felman also has requested a protective order to prevent public release of certain data and models filed under seal with the PSC. That data includes the target gross margin. In Thursday’s order, the PSC deferred ruling on that protective order. As an inducement to have Felman operate for at least five years after accepting the special rate Your news ... Your newspaper plan, the PSC plan requires that a portion of the discounts given in each of the first five years is subject to recapture until the end of the fifth year.

Dionne Obama’s first salary as a community organizer was paid by a Catholic group and his earliest social justice work was rooted in Catholic social doctrine. He identified with Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, then Chicago’s archbishop, whose consistent ethic of life encompassed a dedication to the poor, a concern over the human costs of war, and opposition to the death penalty. You could imagine that at his meeting with Pope Francis recently, the president was tempted to ask: Why can’t these American bishops get along with me? Or, perhaps more humbly: Holy Father, what can I do to make these guys happy? It is a sign of how politicized the American Catholic Church has become that its different factions were lobbying hard over the message the bishop of Rome should send after meeting with the president of the United States. Catholic conservatives hoped that Francis would again condemn abortion by way of upbraiding the pro-choice Obama. They were also seeking strong language supporting the campaign spearheaded by the more conservative bishops against the contraception mandate in the health care law. Catholic progressives were looking for Francis to push the president to move more forcefully against poverty and inequality, around the world and not just at home. They hoped for some of the pope’s searing criticisms of global capitalism by way of reminding Obama that the Catholic Church is well to his left on economic matters. Both sides, in other words, want Francis to bless their own positions inside the American Catholic struggle. The progressives believe they now have a friend in Rome and conservatives worry the progressives might be right. After all, as Michael Sean Winters pointed out in the National Catholic Reporter, “the American bishops who are most aggressively hostile to Obama are also the American bishops who have been most resistant to Pope Francis.” But this meeting underscored something else: While Francis has decidedly moved the church back toward the social justice Catholicism that Obama connected with as a young man, Francis’ worldview is plainly not American. Efforts to shoehorn him into our debates will always have a distorting effect. And the Vatican — which itself is divided into factions — has other things to think about besides the contention within the American church. From everything he has said, Francis is, in our terms, a social conservative. Yet the issues about which he feels a genuine sense of urgency involve the hundreds of millions around the globe who suffer from extreme deprivation and oppression. From this standpoint, the political and theological skirmishes that consume so much energy among believers in wealthy countries might seem a form of self-indulgence. Francis didn’t leave conservative U.S. bishops out in the cold in their contraception battle, as the Vatican statement after the meeting made clear. But it’s difficult to see the pope joining them at the ramparts. The veteran Vatican correspondent John Allen has documented attacks on Continuing education — on the job By Esther Cepeda It’s the time of the year when you can’t throw a rock without hitting a parent or a teenager bragging about college acceptance letters. You’re far less likely to hear about the plans of students who really have no desire to go to college and aren’t sure what the world might have in store for them — especially considering the risk of poverty, shorter life spans and other ills that researchers tell them will happen to someone having less than a college degree. The National Center for Education Statistics projects that at the end of the current academic year, about 3.3 million students will graduate from high school. In 2011, the last year for which numbers are available, the center noted that the percentage of high school seniors enrolling in college in the fall immediately following graduation was 68.2 percent, with females enrolling at a higher rate (72.2 percent) than males (64.7 percent). Failure to transition to postsecondary schooling is often seen as a financial issue. But it’s fair to say that some portion of the high school graduates who decide against college simply don’t want to face more time sitting in a classroom waiting for their “real” — often then debtriddled — lives to begin. This might seem small-minded to college-educated folks who can’t stand the thought of any child not having the opportunity to earn a degree. But what’s more inflexible, not to mention shortsighted, about our society’s “college is the only answer” mentality is that there are too few workforce preparedness programs for what amounts to nearly a third of our high school graduates. And many of the programs that are available hardly make the grade. The Lexington Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, has issued a report charging that many of the 17,000 high schools across the country that offer career and technical education (CTE) remain mired in outdated instructional models that fail primarily by underestimating the ability of the students they aim to serve. “The outdated vo-tech [vocational-technical] model of career and technical education has a legacy of providing a sub-par instructional program for students who don’t have the ability to achieve high academic success,” writes Kristen Nye Larson in “Updating Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century.” “Tech schools sometimes falsely assume that students don’t need or can’t handle a high level of rigor and use this as an excuse to provide lower-quality instruction.” In addition to not offering training that is responsive to regional industry demands, Larson notes that many CTE programs — which are often outgrowths of traditional vocational education models that were established in the 1970s and ’80s — haven’t been modernized to develop proficient levels of English, reading, math and science with core instruction. This doesn’t square with the rapidly evolving computer-assisted or customer-centric marketplace for skilled workers.

Employers complain that young graduates often lack communication skills, professionalism, literacy and critical thinking skills. … A national survey of CEOs and postsecondary leaders said that 53 percent of business leaders were struggling with recruiting non-managerial employees.” It’s not all bleakness, however. Larson provides several examples of high-performing CTE programs that have a demonstrated track record in helping students complete their training, and possess what are considered to be the two most important job-candidate skills: the ability to work in a team structure and the ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization. There are programs that do a good job of producing wellrounded students and others that partner with private employers or regional economic leaders to get students directly from training into work. We simply don’t hear much about them because the majority of our education system is focused on college access. But not everyone can afford college — or is cut out for it. Once we realize this, our country can start pumping out the workers our future economy needs instead of outsourcing skilled manufacturing jobs to places such as Germany or Poland, with their worldrenowned apprentice programs. They’ve already figured out that there’s plenty of value in a life devoted to working with both your hands and your mind.

In light of this, the American uproar over a requirement that contraception be subsidized in health insurance policies seems disproportionate. That’s especially true since the governmentled health systems in many predominantly Catholic countries routinely cover contraception. It would be good if Francis encouraged the parts of the American Catholic leadership most alienated from the president to stop treating this former church employee as an enemy. But the pope’s main job is to pose a radical challenge to our complacency and social indifference. In doing so, he should stir an uneasiness that compels all of us — and that includes Obama — to examine our consciences. GOP candidates kiss up to billionaire By Dana Milbank Who wants to marry a billionaire? John Kasich does. So do Scott Walker, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush. When Sheldon Adelson, the world’s eighth-richest person, according to Forbes, let it be known that he was looking for a Republican candidate to back in the 2016 presidential race, these four men rushed to Las Vegas over the weekend to see if they could arrange a quickie marriage in Sin City between their political ambitions and Adelson’s $39.9 billion fortune. Adelson was hosting the Republican Jewish Coalition at his Venetian hotel and gambling complex, and the wouldbe candidates paraded themselves before the group, hoping to catch the 80-year-old casino mogul’s eye. Everybody knows that, behind closed doors, politicians often sell themselves to the highest bidder; this time, they were doing it in public, as if vending their wares at a live auction. As The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker reported, Kasich, the Ohio governor, kept addressing his speech to “Sheldon,” as if he were having a private tete-a-tete with the mega-donor (Adelson and his wife spent more than $93 million on the 2012 elections) and not speaking to a roomful of people. Walker, the Wisconsin governor, pandered unabashedly by giving the Hebrew meaning of his son Matthew’s name and by mentioning that he displays a menorah at home along with the Christmas tree. And Christie, the New Jersey governor, gushed about his trip to Israel and the “occupied territories.” That was a gaffe. Pro-Israel hawks consider the term pejorative and, at any rate, the more relevant occupied territory at the moment is the Republican Party — wholly occupied by billionaires. In addition to Adelson, two of the world’s other top10 billionaires, David and Charles Koch (combined net worth: $81 billion) are pouring tens of millions into the 2014 midterm elections in an effort to swing the Senate to Republican control. These and other wealthy people, their political contributions unleashed by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, are buying the U.S. political system in much the same way Russian oligarchs have acquired theirs. (Super-rich liberals such as Tom Steyer are spending some of their fortunes to help Democrats, but they are pikers by comparison.) Spending by super PACs, a preferred vehicle of billionaires, will surpass spending by all candidates combined this year, predicts Kantar Media, which tracks political advertising. This pay-to-play culture is, at best, unseemly. What makes it ugly is when it becomes obvious just how much the wealthy corporate interests get in return. As it happens, two such instances were on display Tuesday on Capitol Hill, as one congressional committee examined how Caterpillar Inc. avoided paying billions of dollars in taxes while another panel probed how General Motors was allowed to produce cars with a lethal safety defect for more than a decade. A Senate panel examined how Caterpillar, using a tax loophole, shifted profits from the United States to its affiliate in Switzerland, where it negotiated a special tax rate, thus cutting its U.S. taxes by $2.4 billion. Julie Lagacy, the Caterpillar official at the hearing, was unapologetic. “I want to emphasize Caterpillar complies with the U.S. tax laws, and we pay everything we owe,” she testified. That is just the problem — and the solution is a reform of the tax code. An attempt at reform this year by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., lacked support from corporate interests and was dismissed by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Defeated, Camp this week announced his retirement from Congress. In the case of GM, the company knew about a problem in some of its ignition switches since at least 2001, but it didn’t do anything until this year, after at least 13 people had been killed. The House Energy and Commerce Committee summoned GM’s chief executive, Mary Barra, to answer questions about the flaw, but it proved to be a frustrating exercise. Barra, though apologetic, has been in the job only two months, and she hid behind GM’s ongoing investigation to avoid answering various questions. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., appearing with the families of victims before the hearing, described how the auto industry used its political influence on three different occasions over the past decade to block regulations and statutes that would have forced GM to disclose information about safety problems earlier. Now Markey is trying again to pass legislation that would help government regulators find problems and force recalls more quickly. But Markey has a distinct disadvantage getting it enacted. He isn’t doing a billionaire’s bidding. �Tuesday, April 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 5 Death Notices BORDMAN POINT PLEASANT — John Melvin Bordman, 92, of Point Pleasant, died Friday, April 4, 2014.

Iconic Hollywood actor Mickey Rooney passes at 93 By Anthony McCartney AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES — Mickey Rooney’s approach to life was simple: “Let’s put on a show!” He spent nine decades doing it, on the big screen, on television, on stage and in his extravagant personal life. A superstar in his youth, Rooney was Hollywood’s top box-office draw in the late 1930s to early 1940s. He epitomized the “show” part of show business, even if the business end sometimes failed him amid money troubles and a seesaw of career tailspins and revivals. Pint-sized, precocious, impish, irrepressible — perhaps hardy is the most-suitable adjective for Rooney, a perennial comeback artist whose early blockbuster success as the vexing but wholesome Andy Hardy and as Judy Garland’s musical comrade in arms was bookended 70 years later with roles in “Night at the Museum” and “The Muppets.” Rooney died Sunday at age 93 surrounded by family at his North Hollywood home, police said. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office said Rooney died a natural death. There were no further details immediately available on the cause of death, but Rooney did attend Vanity Fair’s Oscar party last month, where he posed for photos with other veteran stars and seemed fine. He was also shooting a movie at the time of his death, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” with Margaret O’Brien. “Mickey was somebody that everybody loved, but to me he was part of the family,” Liza Minnelli posted on her Facebook page. “He was one of a kind, and will be admired and respected always.” He was nominated for four Academy Awards over a fourdecade span and received two special Oscars for film achievements, won an Emmy for his TV movie “Bill” and had a Tony nomination for his Broadway smash “Sugar Babies.” “I loved working with Mickey on ‘Sugar Babies.’ He was very professional, his stories were priceless and I love them all … each and every one. We laughed all the time,” Carol Channing said. A small man physically, Rooney was prodigious in talent, scope, ambition and appetite. He sang and danced, played roles both serious and silly, wrote memoirs, a novel, movie scripts and plays and married eight times, siring 11 children. His first marriage — to the glamorous, and taller, Ava Gardner — lasted only a year. But a fond recollection from Rooney years later — “I’m 5 feet 3, but I was 6 feet 4 when I married Ava” — summed up the man’s passion and capacity for life. ‘Promising lead’ emerges in hunt for Flight 370 PERTH, Australia (AP) — After a month of failed hunting and finding debris that turned out to be ordinary flotsam, an Australian ship detected faint pings deep in the Indian Ocean in what an official called the “most promising lead” yet in the search for Flight 370. Officials coordinating the multinational search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet still urged caution Monday after a weekend that also brought reports of “acoustic noise” picked up by a Chinese vessel also trying to solve the aviation mystery. The Boeing 777 vanished March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board. The focus of the search changed repeatedly since contact was lost with the plane between Malaysia and Vietnam. It began in the South China Sea, then shifted toward the Strait of Malacca to the west, where Malaysian officials eventually confirmed that military radar had detected the plane. An analysis of satellite data indicated the plane veered far off course for a still-unknown reason, heading to the southern Indian Ocean, where officials say it went down at sea. They later shifted the search area closer to the west coast of Australia. “We are cautiously hopeful that there will be a positive development in the next few days, if not hours,” Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in the capital of Kuala Lumpur. But Angus Houston, the retired Australian air chief marshal who heads the search operation, added: “We haven’t found the aircraft yet.” The Ocean Shield, an Australian ship towing sophisticated U.S. Navy listening equipment, detected two distinct, long-lasting sounds underwater that are consistent with the pings from an aircraft’s “black boxes” — the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, Houston said. Navy specialists were urgently trying to pick up the signal detected Sunday by the Ocean Shield so they can triangulate its position and go to the next step of sending an unmanned miniature submarine into the depths to look for any plane wreckage. Geoff Dell, discipline leader of accident investigation at Central Queensland University in Australia, said it would be “coincidental in the extreme” for the sounds to have come from anything other than an aircraft’s flight recorder. “If they have a got a legitimate signal, and it’s not from one of the other vessels or something, you would have to say they are within a bull’s roar,” he said. “There’s still a chance that it’s a spurious signal that’s coming from somewhere else and they are chasing a ghost, but it certainly is encouraging that they’ve found something to suggest they are in the right spot.” And in “very deep oceanic water,” Houston said, “nothing happens fast.” Rooney began as a toddler in his parents’ vaudeville act in the 1920s. He was barely six when he first appeared on screen, playing a midget in the 1926 silent comedy short “Not to Be Trusted,” and he was still at it more than 80 years later, working incessantly as he racked up about 250 screen credits in a career unrivaled for length and variety. “I always say, ‘Don’t retire — inspire,’” Rooney said in an interview with The Associated Press in March 2008. “There’s a lot to be done.” This from a man who did more than just about anyone in Hollywood and outlasted pretty much everyone from old Hollywood. Rooney was among the last survivors of the studio era, which his career predated, most notably with the lead in a series of “Mickey McGuire” kid comedy shorts from the late 1920s to early ’30s that were meant to rival Hal Roach’s “Our Gang” flicks. After signing with MGM in 1934, Rooney landed his first big role playing Clark Gable’s character as a boy in “Manhattan Melodrama.” A year later, still only in his mid-teens, Rooney was doing Shakespeare, playing an exuberant Puck in Max Reinhardt’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which also featured James Cagney and Olivia de Havilland. Rooney soon was earning $300 a week with featured roles in such films as “Riff Raff,” ”Little Lord Fauntleroy,” ”Captains Courageous” and “The Devil Is a Sissy.” Then came Andy Hardy in the 1937 comedy “A Family Affair,” a role he would reprise in 15 more feature films over the next two decades. Centered on a kindly small-town judge (Lionel Barrymore) who delivers characterbuilding homilies to troublesome son Andy, it was pure corn, but it turned out to be golden corn for MGM, becoming a runaway success with audiences. “I knew ‘A Family Affair’ was a B picture, but that didn’t stop me from putting my all in it,” Rooney recalled. Studio boss Louis B. Mayer saw “A Family Affair” as a template for a series of movies about a model American home. Cast changes followed, most notably with Lewis Stone replacing Barrymore in the sequels, but Rooney stayed on, his role built up until he became the focus of the films, which included “The Courtship of Andy Hardy,” ”Andy Hardy’s Double Life” and “Love Finds Andy Hardy,” the latter featuring fellow child star Garland. He played a delinquent humbled by Spencer Tracy as Father Flanagan in 1938’s “Boys Town” and Mark Twain’s timeless scamp in 1939’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Rooney’s peppy, all-Amer- ican charm was never better matched than when he appeared opposite Garland in such films as “Babes on Broadway” and “Strike up the Band,” musicals built around that “Let’s put on a show” theme. One of them, 1939’s “Babes in Arms,” earned Rooney a bestactor Oscar nomination, a year after he received a special Oscar shared with Deanna Durbin for “bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth, and as juvenile players setting a high standard of ability and achievement.” He earned another best-actor nomination for 1943’s “The Human Comedy,” adapted from William Saroyan’s sentimental tale about small-town life during World War II. The performance was among Rooney’s finest. “Mickey Rooney, to me, is the closest thing to a genius I ever worked with,” ”Human Comedy” director Clarence Brown once said. Brown also directed Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor in 1944’s horse-racing hit “National Velvet,” but by then, Rooney was becoming a cautionary tale for early fame. He earned a reputation for drunken escapades and quickie romances and was unlucky in both money and love. In 1942 he married for the first time, to Gardner, the statuesque MGM beauty. He was 21, she was 19.

Steele, who evened his record at 4-4, struck out four en route to the win. Rio Grande baseball blasts Bluefield, 12-0 By Randy Payton URG Sports Information BLUEFIELD, Va. — Marcus Makuch had two hits and drove in five runs, while David Steele flirted with perfection in a masterful pitching performance as the University of Rio Grande routed Bluefield (Va.) College, 12-0, in a mercy rule-shortened MidSouth Conference game, Saturday night, at chilly Bowen Field. The RedStorm improved to 16-20 overall and 4-12 in league play with their third straight win, snapping a seven-game MSC losing streak in the process. Bluefield slipped to 2211 overall and 6-9 in the conference. Makuch, a senior from Baltimore, Ohio, had a two-run single for Rio in the third inning and delivered a three-run double in what finished as a six-run fifth inning uprising. Steele, a senior righthander from Kettering, Ohio, allowed just one baserunner in a complete game effort - a fluke infield single by Tyler Timmer in the home half of the third. “David should have had a perfect game,” said Rio Grande head coach Brad Warnimont. “It was a popup between the plate and the mound and there was a little miscommunication as to who was going to get it. The ball hit the front slope of the mound and had some english on it. It started and rolling toward the foul line and, just before it got there, David picked it up and tried to make a play. Had he let it go, it probably would’ve gone foul. He was really upset with himself after the game. He threw the ball very well.” Steele finished with four strikeouts in evening his record at 4-4. Rio also got two hits, three runs scored and a run batted in from sophomore Chris Ford (Athens, OH), while freshman Luis Jimenez (Salinas, Puerto Rico) drove in a pair of runs. Zac Russell-Myers started and took the loss for the Rams. Rio Grande scored what proved to be the only run it would need in the second inning when Ford reached on a one-out walk, moved to third on a single by sophomore Kirk Yates (Chillicothe, OH) and flyout by Jimenez and then stole home as part of a doublesteal with Yates. The lead reached 3-0 in the third.

Visiting Southern put a damper on the home opener for the Eastern boys baseball team Saturday afternoon following a 6-5 decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Meigs County. The host Eagles (0-3, 0-1 TVC Hocking) led 1-0 through three complete, but the Tornadoes (2-1, 2-1) reeled off five consecutive runs over the next two frames for a 5-1 advantage after five innings of play. EHS scored once in the sixth to pull to within 5-2, but the Tornadoes responded with a run of their own in the top of the seventh — once again making it a four-run game at 6-2 headed into the final half inning. The Eagles started the bottom of the seventh with three consecutive hits and had four hits in the frame while scoring three runs to close to within 6-5. The hosts had the bases loaded with one out, but SHS ultimately retired the next two batters to hold for the narrow one-run decision. Colten Walters went the distance for the win, allowing seven walks over seven innings while striking out 10. Zack Scowden suffered the loss after walking two and striking out three over seven frames on the mound. Southern outhit the Eagles by a 14-7 overall margin and committed two errors in the triumph, compared to one error by EHS. Walters, Trenton Deem and Paul Ramthun each led SHS with three hits, followed by Brandon Moodispaugh, Jack Lemley, Tommy Ramthun, Blake Johnson and Zac Beegle with one safety apiece. Lemley drove in two RBIs, while Walters, Moodispaugh and Paul Ramthun also had an RBI each. Deem led the Tornadoes with two runs scores. Scowden, Tyler Morris, Christian Speelman, Brandon Coleman, Matthew Durst, Tyler Barber and Ross Keller each had a hit for the Eagles. Durst drove in two runs, while Speelman, Barber and Keller each added an RBI to the losing cause. Jesse Morris — who walked twice and reached on an error — led EHS with two runs scored. �Tuesday, April 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Sealed proposals for three (3) WPCLF HSTS Private Owner Septic Repair/Replacement projects, located at various locations in Meigs County, Ohio, will be received by the Meigs County Commissioners at their office at the Courthouse, Second Street, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 until April 17, 2014 at 11:00 a.m., and then at 11:15 a.m. at said office opened and read aloud for the following: The three (3) HSTS Septic Repair/Replacement projects as per Meigs Health Department specifications attached in bid packet.

Saul Phillips of North Dakota St to coach Ohio U ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Saul Phillips, who guided North Dakota State to an upset of fifth-seeded Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament and 26 wins this season, was hired Sunday as Ohio University’s basketball coach. Phillips succeeds Jim Christian, who left after two years to coach Boston College. Christian was 49-22 at Ohio. Phillips was 134-84 in seven seasons at North Dakota State. He now joins a school that went 25-12 this season and made it to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament quarterfinals. “I simply cannot wait to start working with our players and helping them reach their potential,” he said in a statement. “I want our fans and my players to know that I will pour maximum energy and enthusiasm into Bobcat basketball.” Phillips was an assistant at North Dakota State for three seasons before becoming head coach. Before that, Phillips was the director of basketball operations for three years at Wisconsin under Bo Ryan. Phillips played at Wisconsin-Platteville under Ryan and in 1995 captained the Pioneers’ undefeated national championship team.

But then came the caution for debris after Kurt Busch’s car brushed the wall and one of his tires tore apart. On the ensuing pit stop, Gordon took only two tires and exited first. Both Team Penske drivers took four tires, but Keselowski missed a chance to become the season’s first two-time winner when he was penalized for speeding on pit road and finished 15th. On a restart at lap 262, Logano quickly pulled his Ford away from the field and had a nearly 5-second lead before his last green-flag stop. After the green-white-checkered restart on lap 339, Logano went inside past Brian Vickers and quickly got behind Gordon. Heading onto the frontstretch, Logano went low and was able to get past Gordon going into the first turn. Kyle Busch finished third ahead of Brian Vickers and rookie Kyle Larson. Logano, the only driver with top-five finishes in both Texas races last season, got his fourth career victory after leading 108 of 340 laps — six more than scheduled.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished last in a 43-car field for the first time in seven seasons after driving his car into the rain-saturated infield grass before it shot across the track and slammed into the wall in a fiery crash. He took the blame for the accident on lap 13 that also led to problems for Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson. Johnson had damage on the windshield and front left of his No. 48 car from mud and debris after the Earnhardt crash.

He later tweeted: “That wasn’t fun. Sorry 2 the fans of the 88 team. Feel bad for my guys and the 48 team also. Made a mistake there that was costly for every1.” The race started with 10 caution laps to make sure the 1½-mile high-banked track was dry and suitable for racing. There were still jet dryers on the track during those laps, and the high-pressure air from those apparently affected the hood and roof flaps on several cars. Keselowski made four trips down pit road as his crew worked to secure his hood, but he still got to retake his frontrow spot next to pole-sitter Tony Stewart for the full green-flag start on lap 11 after NASCAR put the cars in their original starting spots. Stewart led three times for 74 laps, the first he has led this season. He lost the lead for good when Keselowski passed him through turns 3 and 4 on lap 78, and Stewart finished 10th. Earnhardt hadn’t had a last-place finish since the 2007 fall race at Phoenix, a span of 222 races. But he won the season-opening race at Daytona, and has three other topthree finishes in the first six races this year and arrived in Texas as the points leader. 2002 30' FT.NOMAD TRAVEL TRAILER with expando room.

That’s just the way the game goes sometimes. The River Valley softball team suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 setback to Wirt County and then rebounded nicely with a 15-1 victory over Wahama during a Saturday afternoon non-conference doubleheader in Mason County. The Lady Raiders (2-3) never led in the opener against WCHS as the Silver and Black trailed 3-0 after four innings of play. RVHS, however, countered with a three-run outburst in the top of the fifth, which knotted things up at three. Libby Leach singled home Chelsea Copley for a 3-1 deficit, then Ashley Gilmore tripled home both Leach and Amanda Eddy to tie the game at threeall. The score remained that way until the bottom of the seventh when a twoout error allowed Wirt County to score the winning run. The Lady Raiders outhit the hosts by an 8-6 overall margin and left just six runners stranded on base, compared to nine by the Lady Tigers. RVHS also committed the only two errors in the contest. Bethany Gilbert took the tough luck loss after allowing six walks in seven innings while striking out four. Casto was the winning hurler with one walk and three strikeouts. Leach led the Lady Raiders with two hits, followed by Gilmore, Copley, Eddy, Katie Mares, Cori Williams and Erin Morgan with a safety apiece. Harris and Tuchnell each had two hits for Wirt County. River Valley responded in Game 2 by pounding out 14 hits against Wahama en route to a 15-0 lead through two-and-ahalf frames. The Lady Falcons (1-5) answered with a run in the bottom of the third, but ultimately had the game end with the mercy rule after three complete. RVHS outhit Wahama by a 14-2 overall margin and left five runners on base, compared to two by the hosts. WHS also committed all five errors in the contest. Gilmore picked up her first career victory in the circle after walking one and striking out three in three innings. Destiny Divers suffered the loss after walking two and fanning three. Copley led River Valley with teambests of four hits and three RBIs, followed by Gilbert with two hits. Leach, Gilmore, Williams, Eddy, Mares, Morgan, Mariah Hurt, Reilly Barcus and Jamie Norman also had a hit apiece for the victors. Leach drove in two RBIs, while Gilbert, Hurt, Mares, Barcus and Morgan each added an RBI. Copley, Gilmore and Williams also scored twice in the decision. Divers and Emmalee Broyles each had a hit for Wahama. Karson Tolliver — a courtesy runner for Divers — scored a run on Broyles RBI single in the third. The Lady Falcons also dropped a 13-1 decision in four innings to Wirt County in the final contest of the day. No other information was available at press time. Baseball From Page 6 Freshman Clark Rice (Louisa, KY) led off with double and was replaced by senior courtesy runner Eric Ford (Chagrin Falls, OH), who moved to third when junior Kevin Arroyo (Toa Baja, Puerto Rico) reached on a bunt single. Arroyo reached scoring position as a result of defensive indifference and, one out later, Makuch brought both runners home with a single to right-center. It was the fifth inning, though, when the RedStorm lowered the boom on RussellMyers and the Rams. Rice got things going with a walk and was once again replaced by Ford, who moved to third when Arroyo was hit by a pitch and junior Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) reached on an infield single. Makuch then lined an 0-2 pitch down the left field line to clear the bases and make it 6-0. One out later, a single by Chris Ford allowed Makuch to score and, after Yates was hit by a pitch and a passed ball, Jimenez singled to right-center to plate both runners and make it 9-0. Rio set itself up for the mercy rule win by pushing across three more runs in the seventh inning. Junior Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) led off with a walk and was replaced at first base by freshman pinch-runner Carlos Flores (Guayanilla, Puerto Rico), who promptly moved to second on a single to right by Chris Ford. Flores scored when Yates’ grounder to second was errored and Ford crossed home when Jimenez hit a grounder to first base that was also errored. Yates scored the final run of the contest when freshman Daryin Lewis (Circleville, OH) grounded into a double-play. The two teams will complete their weekend series with a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. RedStorm From Page 6 Jones and freshman Cheyenne Hamaker (Hilliard, OH) had two hits each in the win for Rio Grande. Hannah Foster had two of Shawnee State’s four hits and Abby Barrett added a double in a losing cause. Pauley went the distance in the loss for the Bears, dropping to 8-3 on the season. The opening game was a pitcher’s duel between Jones and Shawnee State’s Allie Chapman. Chapman (10-6) walked three and allowed only a pair of singles by freshman Alex Kuhn (Oak Hill, OH), while striking out three. Jones (9-7) walked seven, but allowed just five hits and struck out three. She worked out of bases-loaded jams in each of the first two innings and stranded two runners in the Shawnee sixth, but the Bears managed to push across the game-winning run in their final at bat. Holly Brabson led off with walk, moved to second on a groundout and took third on a wild pitch before Hannah Dittoe grounded a single to center to plate the game-winner. Yates had two hits, including a double, in the win for SSU. Rio Grande returns to action on Wednesday evening with a non-conference twinbill against West Virginia State University in Institute, W.Va. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director for the University of Rio Grande. From Page 6 Saturday’s first game against Sissonville (7-1) started slow, but Sissonville broke trow in the fourth with three runs to crack the scoreless tie. The Lady Indians marked two more scores in the fifth frame and one in the sixth to help seal the 6-0 victory. Alexee Haynes earned the win, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing just two hits, while striking out four. The loss was credited to Barker, who gave up six runs on six hits and a walk in five innings. Cochran threw one inning and allowed a hit and a walk. Barker struck out seven, while Cochran fanned one. The PPHS offense was led by Higginbotham and Cochran with a hit each. The SHS offense was led by Katelyn Linville with two hits, followed by Reagan Johnson, Alexee Haynes, Taylor Legg, Abbey Jordan and Olivia Montgomery with one hit each. Linville scored twice, while Johnson, Haynes, Jordan and Makenzi Whittington each crossed the plate once. Legg and Montgomery each had one RBI in the win. PPHS defeated Sissonville by a count of 8-4 on March 27 in Mason County and these teams will meet in Sissonville for the rubber match on April 14. The Lady Knight’s third game of the weekend began with the Buffalo scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Makinley Higginbotham trimmed the Lady Bison’s lead to one with a solo homerun in the bottom of the first. BHS added a run in the fourth and a run in the sixth to push its advantage to 4-1. A bases loaded double by Cochran in the bottom of the sixth drove home Fetty and Darst and cut the BHS lead to 4-3. Cochran and Higginbotham scored on Hammond’s double to give PPHS its first lead of the game at 5-4. The Lady Bison failed to answer and PPHS capped off the weekend with a 5-4 victory over Buffalo. Barker earned the pitching victory after throwing three relief innings and allowing just one run on one hit and one walk. Cochran was the PPHS starter and she threw four innings and surrendered three runs on three hits with a walk. Cochran struck out five batters, while Barker struck out two. Ali Burdette suffered the loss after allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in six innings, while striking out nine.
