Bill built the market to include a landfill, transfer station and recycling centers in Columbus and Circleville. Today, those facilities assist in supporting the thriving waste and recycling operation that services hundreds of thousands of residential and commercial customers throughout central, northern and southeast Ohio. On July 1, 2002, Bill accepted a promotion to become Rumpke’s chief operating officer. During his tenure, Rumpke has experienced unprecedented growth. In the last decade, the company has acquired about 100 smaller firms and has grown organically as well, expanding its service region to four states, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia. Bill and his Rumpke team have worked to bring green technology to its landfills. At two of its landfills, Rumpke has partnered with energy companies to convert landfill gas into natural gas or electricity. In recent years, the firm has invested more than $50 million in recycling technology and has built a compressed natural gas fueling station and truck fleet. The natural gas is recovered directly from Rumpke’s largest landfill. In 2013, Rumpke unveiled one of North America’s largest, fastest and most technologically advanced recycling centers. This $32 million facility serves Cincinnati as well as parts of Kentucky and northwest Ohio. It is one of 11 Rumpke recycling facilities. In 2010, Bill received the Association for Corporate Growth Deal Maker Award. In 2012, Bill was honored as a South Central Ohio and Kentucky Entrepreneur of the Year. He is a member of the Solid Waste Association of North America. Bill also serves on the board of the National Waste and Recycling Association. Bill earned his bachelor’s degree in general business from Miami (Ohio) University. He and his wife reside in Cincinnati and have a daughter and two sons. Bill replaces his father and long-time president and CEO William J. Rumpke Sr., who is now president emeritus and remains chairman of the board for Rumpke Consolidated Companies Inc., president of Rumpke Enterprises Inc. and president of Legacy Inc. “The best moments in life include those when you get the opportunity to witness your children’s success. I couldn’t be more proud,” Bill Sr. said. Bill Sr. began working for Rumpke at a very young age and was employed in various positions including general laborer, mechanic, heavy equipment operator, driver, sales representatives, treasurer and president and CEO. Bill Sr.’s father, William F. Rumpke was the founder of Rumpke. Later, William’s brother Bernard joined the business. Bill Sr. and Bernard’s son (the late Tom Rumpke) later purchased the business from their fathers. During his tenure, Bill Sr. opened the company’s commercial, industrial and recycling lines of business and Rumpke’s first landfill gas recovery system. He and Tom opened another company, the William Thomas Group Inc., to service national chain customers throughout the country. He also led the company in expansion through nearly 300 acquisitions. In 1999, Ernst & Young named Bill Sr. “Entrepreneur of the Year.” In 2009, Bill Sr. was inducted into the Environmental Industry Association Hall of Fame and in 2012 into the Greater Cincinnati Business Hall of Fame. Bill Sr. is a member of the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum Board of Trustees. He has also served on the Cincinnati Leadership Calcet® is designed to help stop low calcium leg cramps.

The liberal think tank estimates that students of color make up almost half of the public school population, but teachers of color represent only 18 percent of the teaching profession. This is an emotional and difficult subject to discuss. Depending on how one couches the legitimate point that America’s teachers should reflect the diversity of its students, it is inevitable that talking up this need runs the risk of sounding like a form of insulting discrimination — implying that white teachers cannot adequately teach minority children and that minority students can’t learn from white teachers. As a bilingual high school teacher, I was given the task of bringing English as a Second Language students up to grade level in algebra, even though I did not possess a degree in mathematics. And while I understood their immigrant backgrounds and spoke their language, I was not the best person to teach children who in some cases had difficulty with simple arithmetic. I couldn’t hold a candle to the any of the math department staff, and leaned on them just enough to be able to prepare my students for their common departmental assessments. But I tried my heart out, which counted for some- thing, at least. The moral of my story is twofold: Study after study has found that low-income, minority and non-native English-speaking students are the likeliest public school students to get the least prepared teachers. And shared racial or ethnic background is not the most important aspect of a teacher’s abilities. There are people — with, I believe, the best intentions — who think that minority children cannot learn as well as they might with white teachers. And that if minority students don’t see someone of their race in a particular field of study such as medicine, law, science or teaching, they won’t aspire to those careers. This doesn’t hold water. There are black and Hispanic astronauts, Supreme Court justices, scientists and professors. Some of them were the “first,” relying on their self-determination along with the interest and support of caring teachers to blaze historic trails. They would not exist if it were true that empathy was dependent on demographics. This is not to say that we don’t need teachers of many different ethnic and racial backgrounds. We need these role models dearly — but not just so they can minister to the minority students who are struggling through poverty. The non-minority kids at the well-to-do schools in predominantly white neighborhoods need such teachers just as much, so that they can enter an extremely diverse and evolving workforce understand- ing that minorities are leaders, thinkers and mentors to be respected. There are many factors that force minority teachers out of the profession, not least are low pay, social issues well beyond their control and high emotional anguish. Unless you find a special program in which all college education is paid for in exchange for a fixed number of years as a teacher, it is very difficult for minorities — who are many times the first in their families to attend college — to stay in jobs with relatively low pay, high stress and often in communities so needy that even the most excellent teaching will barely make a dent in a student’s life. If it seems that one type of person tends to follow their need to “make the world a better place one student at a time,” look at their economic situations: Did they come from a family of college graduates who helped them navigate undergraduate studies? Did they have families who helped them pay for their teacher training? Do they have spouses whose income supplements their own? Probably. By all means: Make teaching more lucrative so that the very best scholars become teachers and are amply rewarded, and let us do whatever is necessary to make that pool diverse. But let’s not make the mistake of doing it because of the misbelief that skin color or racial background is either a deterrent or a boost to the hard work of teaching or learning. On the eve of the Obama administration’s release Tuesday of a report warning about grave consequences of climate change, presidential counselor John Podesta went into the White House briefing room and crowed about fossil-fuel production in words that could have been penned by Dick Cheney. “The United States is now the largest producer of natural gas in the world and the largest producer of gas and oil in the world,” Podesta declared. “It’s projected that the United States will continue to be the largest producer of natural gas through 2030. For six straight months now, we’ve produced more oil here at home than we’ve imported from overseas.” Podesta went on to say that as part of the “big increase” in oil and gas production, “we’re back on track to produce more oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico.” As for environmental concerns related to all this production, “that can be dealt with through the proper application of the best practices to produce that oil and gas.” It was a jarring juxtaposition: a new warning Tuesday about threats to life, health and commerce posed by carbon emissions, preceded by a boast Monday about record levels of carbon-fuel production. This is the contradiction at the heart of President Obama’s climate-change policy. The president has made serious progress with renewable fuels and with energy efficiency (a new rule limiting carbon output at existing power plants, due next month, will be another big step) but this is being offset by increased production and export of fossil fuels. “I don’t see how you can square it,” says Joe Romm, a physicist who used his Climate Progress blog at the liberal Center for American Progress to question Obama’s “Jekyll and Hyde” approach. “If we constrain our carbon emissions a little bit but we still produce more and more fossil fuels and then we sell them to other people who burn them, then that doesn’t solve the problem. Obama is not pulling any punches on the climate science, but he’s touting an energy policy which basically assumes the climate science doesn’t exist or it’s not true.” Those words are particularly noteworthy because Romm worked for Podesta, who founded and ran the Center for American Progress before joining the Obama White House. And the sentiment is widespread. Leaders of 18 prominent environmental groups wrote to Obama this winter, saying that what the White House calls its “all of the above” energy strategy “accelerates development of fuel sources that can negate the important progress you’ve already made on lowering U.S. carbon pollution, and it undermines U.S. credibility in the international community.” Similar contradictions can be seen in other policy areas. Obama set out to rein in Bush administration overreach but has presided over a record number of drone strikes. He advocates for a more humane immigration system but has deported a record number of illegal immigrants. Often, Obama has been more pragmatic than his conservative critics give him credit for; he has, for example, taken into account the economic and national security benefits of more domestic oil production. But his pragmatism also means he hasn’t advanced his own policies as forcefully as he could, even though he is maligned by conservatives as if he had. Podesta, articulating Obama’s all-ofthe-above strategy, told reporters Monday that the administration is “firing on all cylinders when it comes to producing more energy, cleaner energy, and more energy efficiency, as well as combating climate change.” After Podesta’s presentation, a reporter observed that it seemed like “a wholehearted endorsement of fracking” (an increasingly popular method of producing natural gas) and that Obama had similarly lauded the technology. Podesta responded by endorsing natural-gas fracking “as a bridge, if you will, from a world in which there’s still a need for fossil fuels to power our economy.” But Romm, the climate-change expert, says industry has been using the “bridge” argument for three decades. There’s now some evidence that methane leaked in the transport and production of “clean” natural gas could erase the carbon advantage it has over coal. “The science says you’re going to need to leave most of the carbon, the fossil fuels, in the ground if you don’t want to render large parts of the planet uninhabitable,” he argues. Yet the Obama administration proceeds with fracking, new coal production leases and export terminals and drilling in the Arctic — an all-of-the-above strategy that “used to be the Republican mantra.” Now it’s not a mantra. It’s a contradiction.

This ruling would not scandalize James Madison and other members of the First Congress, which drafted and sent to the states for ratification the First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights. The Congress did this after hiring a chaplain. Three decades have passed since the court last ruled on the matter of prayers during government meetings. In 1983, the court held: “The opening of sessions of legislative and other deliberative public bodies with prayer is deeply embedded in the history and tradition of this country. From colonial times through the founding of the Republic and ever since, the practice of legislative prayer has coexisted with the principles of disestablishment and religious freedom.” Since then, however, many Americans have become more irritable and litigious, and less neighborly. Also, there are many more nonbelievers. And the court has made Establishment Clause jurisprudence more labyrinthine with nuances such as the “endorsement test”: What government behavior touching religion would a reasonable observer see as endorsing — or disapproving — a particular religion or religiosity generally? Until 1999, Greece’s board usually opened its meetings with a moment of silence. Since then, it has invited local clergy, most of whom are Christians, to deliver prayers, most of which have had Christian content. The court has never held that legislative prayer must be nonsectarian. But the two plaintiffs against Greece argued that the predominance of Christian voices (there were others — Jewish, Baha’i and a Wiccan priestess who prayed to Athena and Apollo, rather fitting for a town named Greece) constituted establishment of Christianity as the town’s religion. A lower court agreed. On Monday, the Supreme Court split 5-4 in reversing that court. The majority held that ceremonial prayer — an encouragement to gravity and sobriety — is not harmful to the plaintiffs, who felt somehow coerced when present at public prayers, and who said such prayers are necessarily divisive. The court should have told them: If you feel coerced, you are flimsy people, and it is a choice — an unattractive one — to feel divided from your neighbors by their affection for brief and mild occasional expressions of religiosity. The court prudently avoided the potentially endless task of adumbrating criteria by which local governments, acting as piety police, could finely calibrate a constitutionally acceptable quantity of devoutness in public prayers, or could draw a bright line between acknowledging and worshiping a divinity. So, the court can expect to hear again from militantly aggravated secularists. Taking offense has become America’s national pastime; being theatrically offended supposedly signifies the exquisitely refined moral delicacy of people who feel entitled to pass through life without encountering ideas or practices that annoy them. As the number of nonbelievers grows — about 20 percent of Americans are religiously unaffiliated, as are onethird of adults under 30 — so does the itch to litigate believers into submission to secular sensibilities. America would be a more congenial place if it had more amiable atheists who say, as one such did, that “it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” Some will say Jefferson was a deist, not an atheist. Atheism, however, simply involves having no theism, and deism — belief that a celestial Clockmaker wound up the universe and set it ticking — is too watery a theism to count. Any religion worthy of the name explains, enjoins and consoles; undemanding deism merely explains, and does this minimally. Deism purports to explain the universe; so does the Big Bang theory, which is not a religion. Still, Jefferson made statesmanlike accommodations of the public’s strong preference for religious observances. As president, he attended Christian services conducted in the House of Representatives. They also were conducted in the Supreme Court chamber and the Treasury building. Jefferson attended a service in the House two days after praising (in an 1802 letter) “a wall of separation between church and state.” Jefferson was no slouch when it came to asserting rights. But Greece’s prickly plaintiffs, having taken their town to court, might now ponder his example of relaxed, friendly respect for practices cherished by others and harmless to him. �Thursday, May 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 5 Obituary ALBERTO A.

Ohio Senate panel mulls alternative energy changes By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Under the latest revisions to a closely watched Senate bill, Ohio’s alternative energy targets would be put on hold for two years as a panel of legislators studies their impact. The Senate Public Utilities Committee on Wednesday again backed off efforts to repeal the mandates, acknowledging they continue to draw broad criticism. Several earlier attempts at turning back the requirements altogether have failed. The updated bill would allow the phase-in of the standards to continue as planned if lawmakers don’t act on the 12-member study panel’s recommendations at the end of two years. The panel would include six representatives and six senators, up to four from each chamber of a single political party. Current law requires utilities to produce 12.5 percent of their energy from renewable sources and 12.5 percent from advanced sources by 2025. Under the latest bill, the targets would have to be met by 2027 to accommodate the 2-year pause. The amended bill removes a requirement that half of renewable energy resources come from in-state facilities, requires utilities to disclose alternative energy costs to customers, allows customers to opt out of the requirements if they amount to 3 percent or more of their bills, and allows large industrial users pursuing their own energy efficiency measures to opt out of the requirement with the approval of state regulators. Sen. Troy Balderson, the bill’s sponsor, said majority Republicans still believe the “25 by ‘25” standard needs revisiting but are trying to address concerns. Opponents include environmentalists, manufacturers and alternative energy producers. “Listen, we didn’t want to get into a war here,” Balderson said. “This is something we definitely need to address. Let’s get as many people on board with the process as possible now.” Chairman Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, scheduled the committee to reconvene to debate the revised bill later Wednesday. A vote was uncertain. Seitz said the decision to limit the commission to lawmakers was intended to address the many requests he received to seat various interest groups on the study panel. “As I told ranking minority member (Sen. Eric) Kearney yesterday, if we accommodated everybody who wanted to be on this study commission with their requests, we would have a body as large as the United Nations and just about as useless.” Machintek Corp. president Roger Hasler, left, talks with House Speaker John Boehner, Monday, May 5, 2014, while touring the Machintek Corp. plant in Fairfield, Ohio.

Ohio primary sets governor field, roads spending By Ann Sanner Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The November field for governor was set Tuesday, Ohioans voted their approval for a state program for repairs and upgrades to roads and bridges, and an embattled state legislator got soundly rejected. Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald easily won the Democratic primary for governor, and will challenge Republican Gov. John Kasich’s bid for re-election this fall. Long the presumptive Democratic nominee, FitzGerald overwhelmed little-known Larry Ellis Ealy. House Speaker John Boehner handily turned back tea party challengers in his home district’s Republican primary, but below his most recent margins of 84 and 85 percent with about 69 percent of the total vote. Miami University professor Tom Poetter won the Democratic primary to oppose Boehner in the 8th District he has dominated since first winning in 1990. Two-term Republican Rep. Bill Johnson will face an anti-abortion, pro-gun rights former state legislator, Jennifer Garrison. She won the Democratic primary in Ohio’s 6th District, where she steered away from President Barack Obama in the Appalachian coal region. Freshman GOP U.S. Rep. David Joyce turned back a tea party challenger in a spirited GOP primary in the 14th district, and will face Cleveland Democrat Michael Wager, unopposed in his primary. A 76-year-old former state legislator and Summit County councilman, Pete Crossland, won the Democratic primary in the 16th District and will try to unseat two-time GOP Rep. Jim Renacci this fall. House incumbents Democrat Tim Ryan and Republicans Steve Stivers and Michael Turner easily won their primaries. Meanwhile, a Republican state legislator facing felony charges that accuse him of misleading investors and misusing their money ran a distant third in his bid to keep the seat he’s held since 2009. Rep. Peter Beck of Mason, who denies the allegations, had about 8 percent of the vote, according to unofficial tallies, with Paul Zeltwanger, who owns a real estate development company, winning with 52 percent in the southwestern Ohio race. At least two other state House incumbents lost primaries: Democrat Zack Milkovich of Barberton and Republican Peter Stautberg of the Cincinnati area. Voters were supporting by a 2-to-1 margin a statewide public works issue that will allow the state to borrow $1.875 billion over 10 years through the issuance of general obligation bonds. The Ohio Public Works Commission would use the funds to provide grants and loans to local governments for capital improvement projects. Those could include repairs to roadways, wastewater treatment systems and sanitary collection. The Libertarian Party of Ohio and the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law opposed it, but Kasich said the proposal would keep Ohio’s economy growing by making needed investments in infrastructure. Five GOP incumbents in the Ohio Senate had challengers, though no Democratic incumbents did. Democrats had 13 contested primary races for seats in the Ohio House, while majority Republicans had almost twice as many. Marylyn Brengelman, a 66-yearold retiree who voted in Cincinnati, said she likes Kasich because “he’s done a good job overall.” “I just voted Republican down the line,” she said. “I’d like to boot everyone out of Washington and get a fresh start, but that’s not an option.” THURSDAY EVENING 6 (WSAZ) (WTAP) (WSYX) (WOUB) (WCHS) (WBNS) (WVAH) (WPBY) (WOWK) (FXSP) (ESPN) (ESPN2) (LIFE) (FAM) (SPIKE) (NICK) (USA) (TBS) (CNN) (TNT) (AMC) (DISC) (A&E) (ANPL) (OXY) (WE) (E!)

The Gallia Academy softball team led 6-0 through three innings, Tuesday night, but non-conference guest Meigs began to rally back. The Lady Marauders ran out of time and fell by a 6-4 count in Gallia County. Four hits and a walk led the three runs in the Gallia Academy (13-11) first inning, while GAHS hung another three spot in the third frame. Meigs (9-10) countered with two runs in the fourth inning and added another in each the sixth and the seventh, but GAHS held on for victory.

Blue Devils burn Meigs By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — With one week until the tournament begins the Blue Devils earn a key victory. The Gallia Academy baseball team defeated non-conference guest Meigs 8-3, Tuesday night, just seven days before both teams embark on the postseason. The Marauders (12-5) got on the board first when Luke Musser drove home Bradley Helton in the top of the second, but Gallia Academy (15-4) answered in the bottom of the second when Kole Carter scored to tie the game. After leaving two runners stranded in the bottom of the third, the Blue Devils struck again in the fourth inning. GAHS failed to have a basehit in the fourth but scored three runs in the frame, two on passed balls and one via walk. Meigs freshman Cody Bartrum singled home classmate Chase Whitlatch in the fifth inning as the Maroon and Gold cut the deficit in half, but Gallia Academy answered again. The Blue Devils scored four times in the sixth inning, highlighted by a Matt Bailey two-run double. The Marauders marked one run in the seventh but failed to complete the comback and GAHS took the 8-3 win. Gustin Graham earned the win after allowing just one run on four hits and a walk in four innings, while striking out four. Kole Carter earned the save, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks in three innings, while striking out two. Ty Phelps suffered the setback after allowing four runs on three hits and 10 walks in 3.2 innings, while striking out three. Cameron Mattox struck out one in 2.1 innings of relief work, while allowing four runs, three hits and two walks. The GAHS offense was led by Anthony Sipple with two singles, while Matt Bailey added a double. Ty Warnimont, Gage Childers and Alex White each added singles for the Blue and White.

Point Pleasant pounds White Falcons, 12-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — Going on the offensive. The Point Pleasant baseball team blasted two homers and outhit host Wahama by a 12-4 overall margin Tuesday night during a 12-0 victory in six innings of a non-conference matchup of Mason County teams at Bachtel Stadium. Both teams went scoreless through two complete, but the visiting Big Blacks (15-8) seized control of things in the top of the third after plating five runs on three hits, an error and a walk. Dakota Sockwell drove in the eventual game-winning run after Trevor Porter scored on a sacrifice fly for a 1-0 edge. Austen Toler followed with a single that plated both Gage Buskirk and Alex Somerville, then Evan Potter drilled a two-run shot to straight-away centerfield to secure a 5-0 cushion after three complete. PPHS followed with a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth for an 8-0 cushion, then the guests plated four more scores in the sixth to lead by a dozen. Toler capped the Point scoring in the sixth with a two-run homer. The White Falcons (13-8) — who had 11 consecutive batters get retired between the second and fifth frames — produced two baserunners in the bottom of the sixth, but the hosts ultimately ran out of outs in the mercy-rule decision. The Big Blacks also claimed a season sweep after posting an 8-7 win at PPHS back on March 28. WHS left seven runners on base, with four of those getting to second base or beyond. Point Pleasant, conversely, stranded only four runners on the bags. Wahama also committed all six errors in the contest. Abe Stearns was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four hits and a walk over five innings while striking out 10. Hunter Bradley suffered the setback after surrendering five runs (zero earned), four hits and a walk over three frames while fanning one. Potter led PPHS with three hits, followed by Toler, Wahama first baseman Garrett Miller, left, has a throw deflect off the top of his glove as Point Pleasant’s Trevor Porter (15) reaches safely during the third inning of Tuesday night’s baseball game in Mason, W.Va. Somerville and Levi Russell with two safeties apiece. James Littlepage, Bruce McDermitt and Chris Lush also added a hit each to the winning cause. Toler drove in a team-best four RBIs, while Potter and McDermitt each knocked in two RBIs apiece. Somerville, Toler, Potter and Porter all scored twice for the victors. Wyatt Zuspan paced Wahama with two hits, followed by Bradley and Garrett Miller with a safety apiece. Point Pleasant has now won two in a row and three of five overall, while Wahama has now dropped two straight and three of four. Lady Knights fend off Winfield, 1-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com WINFIELD, W.Va. — It only takes one. The Point Pleasant softball team started the postseason on a solid note Tuesday night after claiming a hard-fought 1-0 victory over host Winfield in the opening game of the Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 tournament in Putnam County. The visiting Lady Knights (22-7) — who picked up a pair of 3-2 victories over WHS in the regular season — notched its 10th consecutive win over the Lady Generals (9-17) since the 2011 campaign. PPHS — which swept Winfield out of the postseason a year ago — now owns a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series. The Lady Generals outhit the guests by a 6-4 overall margin and committed two of the three errors in the contest. Both teams also stranded five runners apiece on the bags. The difference in the outcome came in the top of the sixth after Cami Hesson led the inning off with a single, then advanced to second on an error that allowed Makinley Higginbotham to reach safely with nobody out. Hesson advanced to third after Karissa Cochran flew out to right for the first out, then Rebekah Darst followed with a sacrifice fly to centerfield — allowing Hesson to come homeward with the eventual gamewinning run. Winfield had only two runners reach second base in the contest, which included the seventh inning after back-to-back leadoff hits by Allyson Funk and Abbie Short. Mallory Litton popped up a bunt attempt for the first out, then Madison Wall lined out to shortstop for the second out. Litton was doubled-up on the line out by Wall, and the double play ended both the rally bid and the game. Karissa Cochran was the winning pitcher of record after allowing zero walks and striking out eight over seven innings in the circle. Cartnet Schoolcraft suffered the loss after surrendering zero walks and fanning nine over seven frames. Hesson, Higginbotham, Darst and Karson Bonecutter each had a hit for the victors. Funk paced WHS with two hits, while Short, Wall, Margaret Rumbaugh and Kenna Markham also added a safety apiece for the hosts. Point Pleasant aims to clinch the Region 4, Section 1 crown Wednesday night when it again travels to Winfield for a matchup with the Lady Generals at 6 p.m. �Thursday, May 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 7 Lost & Found Notices Yard Sale Money To Lend Help Wanted General Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Found-2 Dogs on Rt 35 Near Gallipolis-1 young male black Lab, 1 young female Jack Russell.

The River Valley softball team made its first trip to V.A. Memorial Stadium a memorable one Tuesday night following a 13-0 thumping of visiting Oak Hill during a non-conference matchup in Ross County. The Lady Raiders (6-12) sent 12 batters to the plate in the first inning, which resulted in eight runs on three walks, two errors and only three hits — giving the hosts a commanding eight-run lead early on. RVHS followed with three runs in the second and two more in the fourth to wrap up the mercy-rule decision. The Lady Oaks (2-16) were outhit by a sizable 7-2 overall margin and committed four errors in the contest, compared to only two errors by the Lady Raiders. OHHS left two runners on base while the hosts stranded seven in the triumph. Ashley Gilmore was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two hits and two walks over four innings while striking out five. Kayla Swann suffered the setback after surrendering eight walks over four frames while striking out zero. Cori Williams led River Valley with two hits and four RBIs, while Gilmore, Chelsea Copley, Libby Leach, Amanda Eddy and Reilly Barcus contributed a safety apiece to the winning cause. Copley drove in two RBIs and scored a team-best three runs, while Leach, Eddy, Gilmore and Barcus each drove in an RBI. Katie Mares and Alexis Hurt scored two runs apiece for the hosts, while Williams, Gilmore, Barcus, Erin Morgan and Jamie Morgan also scored a run each. Kasey Boggess and Brianna Simpson each had a hit for Oak Hill in the setback. Prosecutors: Ex-UGA coach operated fraud scheme ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Former University of Georgia football coach Jim Donnan abused the trust of friends and fellow coaches to lure them into a fraudulent $80 million investment scheme, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday. A defense attorney countered that Donnan thought he’d found a good investment and wanted to share his good fortune with others. The conflicting portraits of Donnan, 69, were outlined during opening statements in his trial on federal charges including conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud. Donnan and Gregory Crabtree, of Proctorville, Ohio, ran the scheme through GLC Limited Inc., a West Virginia-based company that dealt in closeout merchandise, according to an indictment filed last year. The pair sold short-term investments and promised investors rates of return ranging from 50 percent to 200 percent, prosecutors said. According to filings in a separate federal case, among those lured by Donnan to invest were Texas State football coach Dennis Franchione; Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer; ex-Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer; Cincinnati football coach Tommy Tuberville; and North Carolina State basketball coach Mark Gottfried. None of them responded Tuesday to calls from The Associated Press. Crabtree pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy. He is set to testify in Donnan’s trial. Prosecutor Paul McCommon said the men carried out the scheme together, but Donnan called many of the shots. “It was Mr. Donnan who recruited the investors. It was Mr. Donnan who determined who got paid, when they got paid and how they got paid,” McCommon said. He routinely misrepresented the “deals” and promised phenomenal returns, McCommon said. “These people invested in GLC because they trusted Mr. Donnan,” McCommon said. Donnan was head coach at Marshall University from 1990-1995 and at Georgia from 1996-2000. He later became an ESPN analyst. GLC had little income, so money from new investors was continually needed for expenses, to pay Crabtree and Donnan and to send investors payouts that were falsely represented as returns on earlier investments, McCommon said. Between September 2007 and October 2010, prosecutors say the pair raised more than $81 million from 94 investors. The indictment identifies investors only by their initials. But the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2012 filed a complaint against Donnan, saying he used his influence to get high-profile college coaches and former players to invest $80 million into a Ponzi scheme. That case is still pending. The scheme crumbled in late 2010 when GLC was no longer able to pay the rates of return investors that had been promised and the company began missing interest payments, prosecutors have said. An investor reorganizing committee was appointed and it was discovered that the company had no means to control or track inventory or measure profits and losses. This was no surprise to Donnan, who was aware from the start that Crabtree didn’t have the knowledge or skills needed to meet the promised returns, McCommon said. Donnan’s attorney Ed Tolley presented Donnan as a successful coach whose friendship was sought by many wealthy and influential people. He is a loyal man who cherishes the personal relationships he built in different circles and wanted to share a good opportunity with his friends, Tolley said. Tolley said Crabtree cashed in on Donnan’s celebrity. “Jim Donnan was the first investor in GLC and, we say, the first victim,” Tolley said, adding that his client has lost everything from GLC’s collapse. Stephen M. Dowell | Orlando Sentinel | MCT Jeff Gordon answers questions during NASCAR Media Day on Thursday, Feb. 13, 2014, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Fla. Gordon celebrates 20th anniversary of first victory CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It’s been 20 years since Jeff Gordon’s first career Cup victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the prestigious Coca-Cola 600. He was struggling to contain his emotions long before he took the checkered flag, and by the time the 22-yearold got to Victory Lane, he was weeping. “I tried to hold it back as much as I could because I wanted to stay focused and didn’t want to make any mistakes,” Gordon recalled Wednesday as the speedway celebrated the anniversary at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. “It did start to take over and that chill in my spine was definitely there with taking the white flag. I got to Victory Lane, and it all just kind of erupted.” Speedway President Marcus Smith showed Gordon a highlight video of the victory that reminded the four-time champion just what he had accomplished with the win. He became the first driver since David Pearson in 1976 to win from the pole, but had to battle Rusty Wallace throughout NASCAR’s longest race of the season. Gordon only emerged the victor after crew chief Ray Evernham gambled on taking two tires on a late pit stop and Gordon used track position to put Wallace away. The video reminded Gordon of what he felt that day: validation. “Just a combination of pure joy and accomplishment, a weight being taken off your shoulders,” he said. “Because that first win, you don’t ever know if you are ever going to do it and then when you finally do, ‘Wow, I’ve accomplished something that I never thought I would.” And then being able to say, ‘Maybe I do belong here.’” Gordon proved that time and again, collecting 88 victories and four Cup titles over the last two decades. “This car is so special. This Rainbow DuPont Chevy,” Smith said of the car Gordon drove the bulk of his career for Hendrick Motorsports. “The No. 24 — when it hit the track, and Jeff Gordon was driving it, this sport was never the same.” Gordon heads into Saturday night’s race at Kansas Speedway leading the Sprint Cup standings, and will go for his fourth CocaCola 600 victory on May 25. Despite seven top-10 finishes in 10 races this season — including second-place finishes at Texas and Richmond — Gordon is still seeking his first win. He badly wants to get into Victory Lane soon as drivers race for one of the 16 spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. So far, eight different drivers have wins with 16 races remaining in the regular season. “I’ve never seen winning be so important as it has this year,” Gordon said. “When you get that one win under your belt, I think that one win will get you into the Chase, two wins is for sure going to guarantee you a shot in the Chase, but when you get that one or two wins, it just puts you in a place where now it doesn’t really matter where you’re at in points.” FATHER-SON: There could be a father and son racing against each other in a Sprint Cup event for the first time since 2005 if both Dave and Ryan Blaney qualify for Saturday night’s race at Kansas Speedway. Ryan Blaney will be attempting to make his Sprint Cup Series debut. He’s entered in the No. 12 Ford for Team Penske, which already has cars for Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano in the race. The 20-year-old will be trying to qualify the same car that Juan Pablo Montoya will enter at Michigan and Indianapolis later this summer. “As a racer, you want to go out there and win,” he said. “But realistically, I know this is my first Sprint Cup Series race and this will be the first race for Jeremy Bullins as a crew chief, so we really want to go out there and just be competitive and get the best finish that we can.” Dave Blaney has qualified for two races this season in the No. 77 Ford for Randy Humphrey. The team has missed the field six times, and had to withdraw twice, including the Daytona 500, where they did not have a backup car. Two weeks to go for 2018 Super Bowl hopeful cities By Steve Karnowski Associated Press Organizers of Minnesota’s bid for the 2018 Super Bowl said Wednesday that local companies have already stepped up to cover most of the costs. Richard Davis, co-chair of the bid committee and chief executive of U.S. Bancorp, told reporters that just within the first seven days of the drive, local companies pledged enough money to cover 75 percent of the estimated $30 million to $40 mil- lion needed to defray the costs. They expect to line up the rest within the next few weeks. Davis and his fellow co-chairs gave reporters few details about the 180-page proposal they submitted to NFL team owners and officials on iPads donated by locally based Best Buy Co. Inc. He said they didn’t want to divulge their “secret weapons” to Indianapolis and New Orleans, the other cities competing for the 2018 game. The three cities will make their presentations to NFL team owners in two weeks and a decision is expected soon after. Minneapolis last hosted the 1992 Super Bowl. Indianapolis hosted it in 2012. New Orleans has hosted it 10 times, most recently in 2013. New Orleans also is keeping some specifics of its bid confidential, but, if successful, intends to promote the Super Bowl as the kickoff to the city’s 300th anniversary celebration. “A good portion of our bid focuses on the year 2018, which will be a major milestone for the city with a number of new capital improvement projects benefiting the Super Bowl,” said Sam Joffray, a spokesman for the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation. Those projects include upgrades to the state-owned Superdome, additional streetcar lines and new public spaces such as the riverfront Crescent Park, not far from the French Quarter. “New Orleans presented a very flexible bid allowing the NFL a number of choices in terms of how they would like to configure the Super Bowl footprint for of- ficial events and fan activities at multiple venues,” Joffray said. Indianapolis bid leaders released details of their plan Wednesday, highlighted by the news that Colts owner Jim Irsay is expected to make the final pitch for his city to fellow owners on May 19 in Atlanta. Irsay has been undergoing treatment since March when he was arrested near his home in an Indianapolis suburb. The arrest report said he had $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car.

They’ve inspected each thoroughly, measured them, timed them, interviewed them, checked and double-checked their backgrounds to find out if one can lift them from NFL irrelevance. It’s time to draft. Unable to resolve their biggest need since their expansion return 15 years ago, the Browns are expected to use one of their two first-round picks Thursday night on a quarterback. Will it be Johnny Manziel, the dynamic mystery man in this year’s draft, at No. 4? Or will they wait until No. 26 and grab one of the QBs likely to slide such as Derek Carr or Teddy Bridgewater. Or get a second-tier QB like Aaron Murray or A.J. McCarron? Will they trade up, move down, punt? Cleveland fans have been counting down the days until this draft, their hysteria stoked by the movie “Draft Day,” a fictionalized account of the Browns maneuvering to land the No. 1 overall pick. It’s unlikely that life will imitate art, but the Browns seem prepared to get a quarterback — either to back up Brian Hoyer or supplant him — and first-year coach Mike Pettine is confident the team has done its homework. “I got to spend time with all of them, a good amount of time,” Pettine said last week. “We talk about the ‘it’ factor a lot with quarterbacks, just that type of personality, those traits that you want to have in your quarterback: a guy that is confident, assertive and poised, that can handle teammates when they need to be handled at things going on in the offensive huddle.” With 10 picks, including six of the first 106, the Browns should be able to add talent and depth. Pettine understands they must choose wisely. “It’s absolutely critical that we have a solid draft,” he said. “We don’t need to hit a grand slam.” Here are five things to keep in mind when the Browns are on the clock: JOHNNY B. GOOD OR BAD?: Like everyone, the Browns have debated whether Manziel’s a franchise savior or bust. Hope or hype? He’s intriguing, for sure, but Cleveland, which hasn’t drafted a QB higher than No. 22 since Tim Couch went first in 1999, can’t afford to be wrong. Manziel will likely be available at No. 4. But if they covet him, the Browns might be able to pass on him there and, using the No. 26 pick they got in a trade with Indianapolis, move back up and snag Johnny Football. MACK ATTACK: Pettine’s roots are in defense, and after Jadeveon Clowney, Buffalo line- backer Khalil Mack is considered the best defensive prospect. The 6-foot-2, 251-pounder has the speed and strength to play in any system. Pettine likes him, as does Browns general manager Ray Farmer. “He can rush the passer. He can play in coverage. He can do a little bit of everything,” Farmer said. “This guy looks like the real deal.” SLAMMIN’ SAMMY: A gamebreaker at Clemson, wide receiver Sammy Watkins is the complete package. The possibility of pairing him alongside Browns Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon should be enough to keep defensive coordinators up at night. Watkins can catch the ball over the middle or stretch a secondary over the top. Watkins would also be a safety net in the event Gordon, who has been suspended for substance abuse, has an off-the-field slipup. UNDER PRESSURE: Farmer’s Bengals try for depth at cornerback, D-line CINCINNATI (AP) — During their 15-year run without a playoff appearance, the Bengals drafted players in hopes they would start soon and turn things around right away. It never worked. David Klingler. Akili Smith. Ki-Jana Carter. Peter Warrick. The Bengals were always looking for someone to save them between 1990-2005. They’re beyond that now. With three consecutive postseason appearances, they’re at the point where they don’t need someone to become an overnight star. Instead, they’re looking long term and trying to add depth during the three days of the NFL draft this week. It’s a sign of how much the franchise has stabilized. “Knock on wood, hopefully as we have in the past, these guys don’t necessarily have to step in and be a Day 1 starter for us,” coach Marvin Lewis said. But those who get drafted could find themselves playing a lot by the end of the season, especially at spots left thin by injuries and free agency. Cincinnati could use some help at cornerback and on the defensive line. The Bengals also could use more depth on the offensive line. And they might draft a quarterback in a later rounds, although they remain firmly committed to Andy Dalton as the starter. Cincinnati picks 24th in the first round Thursday.

HAPPY ENDING: After so much disappointment and another coaching change — Pettine is Cleveland’s third coach in three years — the Browns can energize their fan base with a successful draft. As long as they don’t reach, they should get a quality player capable of making an immediate impact at No. 4. Farmer knows this draft is vital to Cleveland’s success. “It’s really the lifeblood of every organization,” he said. Steelers eyeing help at wide receiver, secondary PITTSBURGH (AP) — Four decades ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers put the finishing touches on the foundation of a dynasty. Already an emerging power in 1974, the Steelers selected wide receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, linebacker Jack Lambert and center Mike Webster in the first five rounds of the 1974 draft. All four retired with a fistful of Super Bowl rings. All four have their busts in the Hall of Fame. “It is, by far, the greatest draft in NFL history,” current Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said. “Our hats are off to Art Rooney Jr., Dick Haley and Bill Nunn. Coach Chuck Noll and his staff have to be applauded, and we will certainly be thinking about that group as we get into this draft.” No pressure or anything. The Steelers aren’t quite the budding dynasty they were 40 years ago, not after consecutive 8-8 seasons. Still, after a 6-2 finish and with nine selections in what Colbert called the deepest draft he’s seen in 30 years, there is cause for optimism. Pittsburgh is stuck in the middle of the first round at No. 15. Colbert doesn’t see that as a hindrance to getting the impact player that can lift the Steelers back into contention after spending the last two Januarys watching the playoffs from home. “The player that is going to be available to us at 15 in years past, you may have had to been picking at seven or maybe eight to get the same quality of a player,” Colbert said. “There are easily 15 players available that we will be very happy with if we are able to pick them.” Five things to look for as the Steelers try to recapture a little bit of the magic the franchise found two generations ago: STAYING PUT: Colbert isn’t big on moving up in the draft, instead preferring to stick to the script and see what’s available when the Steelers are on the clock. Considering the depth of this draft, he has already ruled out Pittsburgh trying to get into the top 10. That doesn’t mean the Steelers won’t listen if the phone rings with a team offering an extra pick or two to move up to No. 15. “The more picks the merrier,” he said. Pittsburgh last traded its first-round pick in 2001, when it flipped positions with the New York Jets and ended up taking five-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Casey Hampton, adding two more draft picks in the process. WIDE OPEN: While the team signed free agent wide receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey and Lance Moore to offset the departures of Jerricho Cotchery and Emmanuel Sanders, the one thing they lack is a red zone target capable of using his size to get position. Enter Allen Robinson? The 6-foot-3 former Penn State star is projected as a second-round pick, and the Steelers have never hesitated to mine the Nittany Lions for talent. MONITORING THE CORNER: A changing of the guard is underway at cornerback. Veteran Ike Taylor signed a new — and deeply discounted — deal in the offseason after ceding his spot as the team’s top defensive back last fall to Cortez Allen. The Steelers need size and speed in the secondary after finishing outside the top 10 in yards allowed for the first time this millennium. Pittsburgh hasn’t taken a cornerback in the first round since Chad Scott in 1997. With Taylor in the final stages of his career and nickel back William Gay better suited for the slot, it might be time to find Taylor’s heir apparent, perhaps as high as the first round. HELP WANTED LINE: Free agency hit Pittsburgh’s defensive line the hardest. Ziggy Hood — a former first-round pick who never quite lived up to expectations — left. So did Al Woods, while longtime end Brett Keisel remains unsigned after his contract expired. While Colbert said the door isn’t closed on a possible return by Keisel, the Steelers need to get younger and more athletic along the line. “We’ve lost more than we have added,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “Hopefully, with this weekend and beyond, we will rectify that.” LENGTHY PROCESS: Consider the Steelers fans of the NFL’s decision to push the draft back from April to May. “We got an opportunity to probably lay more eyes on more guys throughout the process, and get out,” Tomlin said. “I know I probably got to more pro days this year than I have in the past. I think the additional time created more of an opportunity for that as well.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
