MIDDLEPORT — The mayor signed
a proclamation, Goodwill officials were
in town , door prizes were awarded and
refreshments were served in an openhouse observance of National Goodwill
Week on Thursday at the Middleport
store located at 785 North Second St.
Lenore Mason, executive director of
Good Will Industries of Southern Ohio,
was there to greet village officials and customers in the store, where the merchandise is plentiful and constantly changing,
and the price is in reach of most people.
Mayor Michael Gerlach signed a
proclamation in which residents were
urged to support Goodwill Industries in
recognition of its “ability to maximize.
thereby contributing to self, family and
community.” It was noted by Annie
Dowler, key person in charge, that there
is always plenty of good merchandise
with new things coming in all the time.
Angela Conlin is cashier and in charge
of production at the Middleport store
lined with rack after rack of children,
women and men’s clothing, shoes and
other apparel as well as some decorative,
household and miscellaneous items.

POMEROY — Moving toward summer camping sessions, Michelle Stumbo, 4-H Youth Development Education,
Meigs County Extension Service, advises that parents and their children can get
a “sneak peek” at what campers experience at an open house at Canter’s Cave
Camp near Jackson being held Sunday.
“It’s the perfect chance to do just
that,” said Stumbo, noting that many
staff members and counselors will be
on site, that there will be lots of food,
tours will be conducted, and an auction of what she describes as “live, silent and youth items” will take place.
Visitors will be able to get a taste of
what camp can be like, she said, along
with information on upcoming camps
this summer. Several traditional camp
activities will also be happening throughout the day, including fishing, archery,
hiking, crafts and more, she added.
During camp each summer, youth
participates in canoeing, archery,
climbing, swimming, fishing, arts and
crafts, putt-putt golf, cookouts, campfires, nature exploration, team-building, high ropes and much more. All
these activities help youth improve
their teamwork, leadership and communication skills, said Stumbo, and
all the while the campers are making
new friends from nearby counties and
learning about the world around us.
The camp is located just north of
Jackson, at 1362 Caves Road. For more
information on the open house or camping opportunities available for Meigs
County youth, residents are encouraged
to contact Stumbo at 740-992-6696.
She noted that 4-H membership is
not required to participate in the summer camping sessions.

Repub. Secretary of State
of them plans to challenge that
action.
The Toledo-area board has
experienced several years of infighting and accusations of wrongdoing. Last week, a series of missteps and squabbling delayed voting results for hours in the primary election.
“In Lucas County, the petty infighting, personality conflicts
and sloppy administration have gone on long enough,” Husted
wrote in the letters. “I simply cannot jeopardize the integrity of
future elections in Lucas County. The citizens and voters deserve
better.”
Husted has said the board failed to make changes recommended earlier.
He is using his authority to start proceedings to remove five
people from their positions. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
Gina Kaczala, who became director earlier this year, said she
inherited problems and immediately tried to address them. She
said she’s unsure why the state is taking action against her, and
she’ll fight to keep her position.
“How do you fire a director who’s been in a position for two
months and expect them to solve all these issues that have been
going on for years?” she said Monday.
The deputy director, Daniel De Angelis, declined to comment.
Board chairman Ronald Rothenbuhler and members Anthony
DeGidio and Jon Stainbrook did not immediately respond to messages left for them with the board office.
Stainbrook, a Republican, and Rothenbuhler, a Democrat, had
said earlier they weren’t surprised the special committee recommended the firings and replacements.
Since early March, the board had fired its previous elections
director, citing low morale and high employee turnover; faced
accusations of misspending money; and opened an investigation
into whether a member encouraged an employee to work slowly.

Life sentence upheld
in fatal school shooting
CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — A teenager who fatally shot
three students in a school cafeteria didn’t have his constitutional rights violated when he was given a life sentence, an appeals court said Monday while providing new details about the
shooting, including the killer’s assertion he was never bullied.
The court ruled unanimously to uphold the sentence
handed down to T.J. Lane following the shooting at Chardon High School in northeast Ohio, saying it did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The court also rejected
arguments by Lane’s attorneys that the law allowing his
case to be transferred to adult court was unconstitutional.
The three-judge court also ruled that the three consecutive life sentences were justified.
Lane “did not act on impulse, on provocation, or under pressure from peers or adults,” the court said. “To the
contrary, he planned this attack weeks in advance before
he went to school that day with a loaded gun.”
Lane “also brought indescribable pain, grief, and lifelong tragedy to the victims’ families,” the court said.
Messages were left with his attorneys seeking comment.
The 36-page opinion included new details about the
case, including descriptions of Lane’s actions the day of
the shooting that have never been revealed.
“He said he does not have problems with anyone and
was not upset with anyone,” according to the court’s ruling. “He said that no one had bullied him. This was just
something he chose to do.”
Lane gained new infamy at his sentencing when he
wore a T-shirt with “killer” scrawled across it and gestured obscenely toward the victims’ families.
Monday’s ruling offered more details about a similar
shirt he wore under a dress shirt the day of the shootings.
Lane bought the shirt with the word “killer” printed
across the chest about a week earlier, the opinion said.
He said he wore it “because he was going to be shooting
people,” according to the ruling.
Lane admitted to a psychologist that he lied to another
psychologist, Phillip Resnick, about being schizophrenic
and hearing voices.
He said he also lied about having been sexually abused.
“He said he lied about his report of being a victim of
sexual abuse because he thought it ‘couldn’t hurt’ to say
he was,” the decision said.

Boehner says he’s nudged
Jeb Bush on presidency
SAN ANTONIO (AP)
— House Speaker John
Boehner said Monday that
he’s “nudged” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to seek
the Republican nomination
for president in 2016.
With various potential
GOP candidates jockeying
two years out, the top Republican in Congress delivered
the strongest hints about
his preference for the White
House while cautioning that
the talk was a bit premature.
“Jeb Bush is my friend. I
think he’d make a great president. I’ve nudged him for
some time,” Boehner told
the San Antonio Hispanic

Chamber of Commerce.
Republican Sens. Marco
Rubio of Florida, Rand
Paul of Kentucky and Ted
Cruz of Texas have been
mentioned as possible
presidential
candidates
along with a number of
GOP governors.
In this year’s elections,
Republicans are expected
to keep control of the House
and have a legitimate shot
at seizing the majority in
the Senate. Boehner said he
expects to keep his leadership position in 2015 but
stopped short of committing to serving out a full
13th term in Congress.

Speaker of the House John Boehner waves a copy of the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline Bill passed by the House
that he says is an example of jobs legislation that the Democrat-controlled Senate won’t act on, during a news conference last Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Energy savings bill caught in election politics
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
widely popular, bipartisan energy savings bill is falling victim
to election-year politics and the
Obama administration’s continued indecision on the Keystone
XL oil pipeline.
The legislation would tighten
efficiency guidelines for new federal buildings and provide tax incentives to make homes and commercial buildings more efficient. It
easily cleared a procedural hurdle
last week but is stalling now after
Republican demand for votes on
the Canada-to-Texas pipeline and
on new administration-proposed
greenhouse-gas limits for coalburning power plants.
While Republicans are united in
favor of the pipeline and against
the new power plant regulations,
Democrats are deeply divided
on both. Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., used a parliamentary maneuver to block them.
Reid said Monday that Republicans were “still seeking ransom”
on the energy savings bill by insisting on the Keystone amendment and other votes. He said
he had agreed to a long-standing
request from pipeline supporters
for a separate vote on the pipeline
if its supporters would let the efficiency bill sail through unamended.
Minority Whip John Cornyn,
R-Texas, called Reid’s maneuver

disappointing. “The Senate use to
be a place of great debate and accomplishment. Now it is run like
a dictatorship shutting out the
voices of millions of Americans,”
he said.
Election-year politics are behind the accusations from both
sides.
Democrats said Republicans
were unwilling to hand a victory
on the energy efficiency bill to
co-sponsor Jeanne Shaheen of
New Hampshire, who is facing a
re-election challenge from Republican Scott Brown, a former Massachusetts senator who now lives
in New Hampshire. Republican
Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio is cosponsoring the energy legislation.
The Democrats also said the
GOP wants deny political cover
to Sen. Mary Landrieu, who faces
a tough re-election fight in Louisiana and to other Democrats in
energy-producing states who have
pushed for the pipeline’s approval
during their campaigns. A Senate
vote on the pipeline would help
Landrieu and Democrats such as
Mark Begich of Alaska, even if it
fell short of the 60 votes needed
to advance it. Obama delayed the
project indefinitely last month,
citing uncertainty over the pipeline’s route though Nebraska.
On the other side, Republicans
accuse Democrats of dodging a
vote on blocking the Obama ad-

ministration’s proposed limits
on carbon pollution on coal-fired
power plants. No matter the outcome, having to vote on what Republicans call President Barack
Obama’s “war on coal” would be
uncomfortable for Democrats
struggling to hold their Senate
majority.
Republicans also wanted a vote
on boosting exports of liquefied
natural gas, another hot political issue. Lawmakers from both
parties support increased gas
exports, although 22 senators —
mostly Democrats — wrote a letter to Obama last week warning
that increased exports could lead
to higher prices for consumers
and possible shortages next winter.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney said Monday that Obama
is committed to increasing energy
security and efficiency and “will
not rest even if Congress won’t
act.”
Obama announced a series of
executive actions last week aimed
at increasing energy efficiency and
reducing U.S. reliance on carbon
fuels. They include the completion
of energy efficiency standards for
walk-in coolers and freezers typically used in grocery stores. He
also announced that more than
300 companies, including WalMart, have pledged to boost their
use of solar technology.

Washington Monument reopens after earthquake
WASHINGTON (AP) —
A cross section of Americans awakened early and
waited in line for hours to
be among the first to ride
to the top of the Washington Monument, open to
the public Monday for the
first time in nearly three
years after an earthquake
chipped and cracked the
towering symbol.
The
130-year-old,
555-year-old obelisk was
built in honor of the nation’s first president between 1848 and 1884
and briefly reigned as the
world’s tallest structure
until it was eclipsed by the
Eiffel Tower.
Engineers have spent
nearly 1,000 days making
repairs stone by stone.
Now new exhibits have
been installed, and the National Park Service is offering extended hours to visitors through the summer.
For the hundreds of visitors, the trip to the top of
the tallest structure in
Washington is brief: It’s a
70-second ride to the top,
and a more leisurely two
minutes, 45 seconds back
down. The massive monument’s meaning is much
more lasting for Marc Tanner.
“I just love American
history, I love traveling
to see American history,
and this is it. You can’t get
more historic than this,”
said Tanner, of Boca Raton, Florida, who was one
of the first to visit the top.
“I used to be a stock broker; I went through 9/11 as
a broker, and … it stands
alone in the United States
to represent freedom for
me.”
Ferrell Armstrong, 74, of
Kinmundy, Illinois, and his
wife, Connie, 70, visited
with their son and were
determined to be among

the first visitors after he
promised the family a stop
in D.C. after he underwent
treatments for cancer —
now in remission — in Virginia. A tear formed in his
eye after they came down
from the top.
“It’s just immaculate. It’s
just great that people that
far back thought about
building something this
great that’s still here,” he
said. “It symbolized to me
a great man, George Washington.”

Randall Armstrong, his
36-year-old son, said the
view from the top looking
over the White House and
National Mall was “breathtaking — probably the top
site I’ve seen, ever.”
“The tour guide pointed out and showed me
Obama’s basketball court,
and you could see the little
girls’ swings,” he said, referring to the swing set at
the White House for the
president’s daughters, Sasha and Malia.

National Mall Superintendent Robert Vogel greeted each of the first visitors
as they waited in line. It
was an emotional ending
to a long repair project and
a reminder that the public
rallied to build the memorial in the 1800s, he said.
“They’re all very excited,” Vogel said of the
visitors “They’re from all
over the country and the
world, and that’s what it’s
all about.”
“It’s been a long, arduous

task to get it open,” he said.
“But what’s kept us all going is there’s just been this
great outpouring of interest
and caring about the Washington Monument from the
day the earthquake hit.
“Hopefully it reminds
everyone how important
this monument is.”
Brandon Hillock, 22,
of Lehi, Utah, was seeing the monument for the
first time after finishing a
two-year Mormon mission
in Virginia. It was an eye-

opening experience with
his parents before they
take him home.
“It’s really cool to come
here and experience what
this is all about and the
history behind it — the
symbolism and everything
else,” he said.
After going to the top,
Hillock said the monument
made him think about the
country’s unity and “appreciate the freedom that people laid their lives down for
so that we could have.”

Dogs and the warrior cops The Democrats’ strategic ambiguity
By Esther Cepeda
If Radley Balko is right,
it may be the dog lovers of
America who touched off
a movement to rein in the
strong-arm tactics that have
accompanied the militarization of the country’s police
forces.
Balko, who writes The
Washington Post’s “The
Watch” blog on criminal justice issues, says that police
these days too frequently
shoot people’s pets when
making a raid, and people
are becoming fed up.
I recently read Balko’s
book, “Rise of the Warrior
Cop: The Militarization of
America’s Police Forces,”
after spending some time in
a firearms class. In that class
was a retired policeman who
firmly subscribed to the “us
vs. them” mentality Balko so
vividly illustrates.
Starting with a history of
law enforcement, Balko follows its tenuous flirtation
with the norms and practices of the armed forces
to today’s proliferation of
S.W.A.T.-like local police
departments. He provides
a painful history of the progression from President
Richard Nixon’s War on
Drugs through the decadeslong erosion of private
citizens’ rights to have their
homes treated as sanctuary
from violence to the all-toocommon “collateral damage” incidents that dot our
news feeds.
No one, and no political
party, is spared from a scathing critique of the wisdom
of soldiering-up local police
officers and making violent,
highly militarized raids everyday occurrences. Notably, Balko’s sources are less
often the innocent victims
of botched raids, accidental
shootings, wrong-address
nighttime blitzes and flashbomb takedowns — or

their advocates — though
their stories come through
clearly.
Mostly, the voices of those
speaking out about the dangers of invade-and-conquer
law enforcement are of professionals in the field who
either carried out militarization programs themselves or
tried, in vain, to keep brute
force — and its accompanying mindset — from encroaching on their beloved
profession.
Balko provides seemingly
endless examples of statesanctioned violence and
paramilitary-style policing
even as he fairly portrays the
danger that law enforcement
officials have to deal with
in their demanding jobs. It
cannot be said enough that
“Rise of the Warrior Cop” is
in no way a partisan, overly
emotional or pacifist antipolice screed — but learning how calloused we’ve all
become to this type of enforcement stopped me cold.
Balko cites anecdotal evidence among his network of
law enforcement researchers and educators showing
that too often people calmly
accept that unwarranted violations of privacy and violent tactics are appropriate
for “bad guys,” murderers
and drug dealers, even their
wives and children. But
they get very angry when
they hear about pets being
harmed and routinely killed.
“At first, that may seem
to indicate that people callously value the lives of
pets more than the lives
of people,” Balko writes.
“But the fact that killing the
dog during these raids has
become nearly routine in
many police agencies demonstrates just how casually
those agencies have come
to accept drug war collateral damage. When I started
logging cop-shoots-dog incidents on my blog (under

the probably sensational
term ‘puppycide’), people
began sending me new stories as they happened. Cops
are now shooting dogs at
the slightest provocation.
As of this writing, I’m sent
accounts of a few incidents
each week.”
The public outcry about
pets as collateral damage
has actually gotten a handful of police departments
to mandate training, Balko
writes. He quotes Russ
Jones, a former narcotics
officer with the San Jose
Police Department and the
Drug Enforcement Agency:
“I don’t understand it at all. I
guess somewhere along the
line a cop shot a dog under
questionable circumstances
and got away with it. Word
got out, and now it seems
like some cops are just looking for reasons to take a
shot at a dog. Maybe it just
comes down to that — we
can get away with it, therefore we do it.”
If Balko gets one point
across, it’s that the days of
law enforcement getting
away with strong-arm and
often deadly tactics in the
name of maintaining safety
and order are coming to an
end.
The proliferation of mobile phones with cameras,
video that can be remotely
streamed directly to the
Internet and the instantaneous sharing of both
through social media are
making it so that evidence of
law enforcement overreach
can be preserved as proof.
But first, we have to be
aware that these instances
of overly harsh tactics affect
innocent, law-abiding citizens — not just the canine
kind — and we can no longer afford to accept our civil
rights getting so blithely
trampled.

By E.J. Dionne
Bragging about what they’ve achieved is
what incumbent politicians do.
Ronald Reagan brought morning to
America. Nelson Rockefeller, running for
his fourth term as governor of New York
in 1970, had a snappy slogan: “He’s done a
lot. He’ll do more.” British Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan told voters in the late
’50s they “never had it so good.”
But as Democrats struggle to hang on to
the Senate this year (and try against the
odds to take over the House), they are not
in the usual boasting mood.
Some of their candidates actively praise
the Affordable Care Act, but others talk
more about how they would fix it. Most
Democrats hailed this month’s excellent
jobs numbers, but so much of the party’s
message this year stresses a squeezed
middle class and the problems of stagnating wages and economic inequality.
“You’ve never had it so good” is not in
their talking points.
More than anyone, President Obama
can expound on how much better things
are now than they were when the economy
was near collapse in 2009. But a campaign
speech he offered at a Democratic fundraiser last week in La Jolla, Calif., nicely
captured the party’s two-track argument.
Yes, he began by accentuating the positive. “When I came into office, the American economy was in a freefall that people
don’t still fully appreciate,” Obama said.
“And by most measures, what we’ve accomplished together as a country over
the last five years has been significant:
9.2 million new jobs, an auto industry
that has come roaring back, a financial
system that’s stabilized, trillions of dollars
of wealth recovered and restored because
housing came back and people’s 401 pensions bounced back.”
It’s a lot of good news. But note that
word “significant.” It’s less buoyant than,
say, “fantastic” or “wonderful.” The understatement reflected what Obama said a
moment later: “What we also know is that
the American public is anxious.”
The president listed the many sources
of that anxiety, concluding with a central
Democratic theme: that “for a couple of
decades now, even when we’re growing,
even when corporate profits are soaring,
incomes, wages have not gone up.” For
“ordinary Americans,” he said, the improvement “hasn’t translated into greater
financial security.”
Obama’s be-happy-but-worry theme

is justified by the facts but it leads to a
peculiar imbalance in the campaign dialogue. Republicans rail against everything
Obama has done. Their agenda may look
like a catalog of Fox News obsessions
— last month it was Obamacare, currently it’s Benghazi. But they will not stop
blaming Obama and his party for all the
country’s shortcomings. Democrats, by
contrast, feel constrained from offering an
unambiguously sunny rebuttal.
The long-term stall in middle-class incomes Obama described is one reason
they can’t. Most Democrats also have a
philosophical commitment to reducing
inequalities. They may hold the White
House but they are not championing the
status quo.
The party’s candidates fear that if they
are too upbeat, they’ll look out of touch
with a country whose spirits aren’t very
high. The RealClearPolitics polling averages show that over the last month, only
28 percent of Americans saw the country
as being on the right track; 63 percent
said it was moving in the wrong direction.
“It’s not a contradiction, but there is a
tension between the administration wanting to argue for success on health care
and the economy and House and Senate
candidates who want to identify with
the many voters who are still struggling
in the economy,” said Anna Greenberg,
a Democratic pollster with many clients
on the ballot this fall. “And many of the
independent expenditure groups will be
talking about the Koch brothers and other
big-money groups on the right who are
tilting Washington against the interests of
average people.”
A lot of this Democratic advertising will
be directed at Republicans who control
the House and have blocking power in
the Senate. Placing the burden for Washington’s failures on Republicans and their
big funders is a necessary element of any
Democratic campaign. It will be especially
persuasive on an issue like the minimum
wage. But this is not the same as making
a positive case that could ease the electorate’s overall alienation.
Reality is what reality is, and it will take
many more months of growth to change
the country’s disposition. But even as
Democrats respond to widespread discontent, they also need to convince Americans that Obama’s tenure gives them a
good deal to cheer about.
Doing both at once is more challenging than incessantly repeating the word
“Benghazi.”

How to get the Benghazi hearings right
By Charles Krauthammer
The Democrats are portraying the not-yet-even
constituted House Select
Committee on Benghazi as

nothing but a partisan exercise. They are even considering boycotting the hearings to delegitimize them.
Fine. Although this would

media a further reason to
ignore Benghazi, it doesn’t
matter. All that matters is
whether the committee produces new, important facts.
If it does, it will be impossible to ignore.
We’ve already seen what
a single piece of new evidence can do in reviving interest in a story that many
(including me) thought
the administration had
successfully stonewalled.
The “PREP CALL with
Susan [Rice]” e-mail from
Ben Rhodes, the deputy
national security adviser,
was withheld eight months
until revealed by court
order. It advises the U.N.
ambassador to focus on an
anti-Islam Internet video,
thus contradicting the perennial White House claim
that Rice’s blame-the-video
five-show fable came just
from intelligence community talking points and not
from a White House in full
campaign mode.
The select committee
will be headed by Rep. Trey
Gowdy, a skilled 16-year
prosecutor. He needs to
keep the hearings clean and
strictly fact-oriented. Questions only, no speechifying.
Every sentence by every
GOP committee member
must end with a question
mark. Should any committee Republican instead

make a statement ending
in a period, the chairman
should immediately, by
button, deliver an electric
shock through the violator’s seat. The areas of inquiry are obvious. They are
three: before, during and
after.
Before: Where and to
what extent was there dereliction of duty as memos,
urgent pleas and mounting
evidence of danger were
ignored and the U.S. ambassador allowed to enter a
death trap?
During: What happened
during the eight hours of
the Benghazi attack, at
the end of which the last
two Americans (of four)
were killed by mortar fire?
Where was the commander
in chief and where was the
responsible Cabinet secretary, Hillary Clinton? What
did they do? The White
House acts as if these are,
alternatively, either state
secrets or of no importance.
For President Obama, we
have three data points. At 5
p.m. EDT, he is briefed on
the attack by the secretary
of defense and chairman of
the Joint Chiefs.
At around 8 p.m., Obama
spends an hour on the
phone with Benjamin Netanyahu to tamp down a
breaking, politically injurious story that Obama had

snubbed the Israeli prime
minister. The White House
then issues a readout saying the two leaders had
agreed there had been no
snub.
So the White House is
engaged in campaign damage control quite literally in
the middle of the Benghazi
events — at a time when
Ambassador Chris Stevens
is still missing and the final
firefight that killed two other Americans is still three
hours away. We’ve just
learned that Obama was
not in the Situation Room
that night. Then where, doing what?
We know, finally, that at
10 p.m. Obama called Clinton to get an update. What
did they discuss, decide,
order? As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has
pointed out, a half-hour later, State issued a statement
deploring the video, setting
the premise for the video
excuse. Were Obama and
Clinton working on a cover
story — even before Glen
Doherty had joined Tyrone Woods on the roof of
the CIA annex where they
were to die minutes later?
Yes, that’s speculation.
Well, then, give us facts.
After all, the White House
provided a cascade of hagiographic facts about
Obama’s involvement in the

Osama bin Laden raid. Yet
regarding Benghazi — the
most serious operational
challenge of his presidency
— he is nowhere to be seen.
After: We now know the
White House was pushing
the “video made them do
it” cover-up, lest the blame
be placed on administration
policy. Who was involved
in that decision, obviously
designed to protect a president campaigning that alQaeda was “on the run”?
These hearings are a big
political risk for Republicans. Going into the 2014
election, they stand to benefit from the major issues
— Obamacare, the economy, chronic unemployment
— from which Benghazi
hearings can only distract.
Worse, if botched like previous hearings on the matter,
these hearings could backfire against the GOP, as did
the 1998 Clinton impeachment proceedings. On purely partisan considerations,
the hearings are not worth
the political risk.
But the country deserves
the truth. They’ll get it if
the GOP can keep the proceedings clean, factual and
dispassionate. No speeches. No grandstanding.
Gowdy has got to be a
tough disciplinarian — especially toward his own
side of the aisle.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Nearly one-fourth of Kanawha County
residents responding to a health
survey say they used their tap water, despite a ban, after a January
chemical spill in West Virginia.
The
Kanawha-Charleston
Health Department conducted
the random telephone survey of
499 adults in the county from
April 3 through 8.
According to the results released Monday, about 9 in 10
respondents indicated they were

two-thirds of those indicated they
still weren’t drinking it three
months after the spill.
The Jan. 9 spill of the coalcleaning agent crude MCHM
from Freedom Industries’ plant
into the Elk River in Charleston
contaminated 300,000 people’s
tap water in nine counties with
licorice-smelling water. A do-notuse order lasted four to 10 days,
depending on the areas where it
was lifted in stages. The order allowed only flushing toilets and for

Companies explore
Utica Shale in W.Va.
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) — Oil and natural gas
companies with Marcellus Shale operations in the Northern Panhandle are turning their attention to the Utica
Shale.
The Utica Shale underlies the Marcellus Shale in much
of Marshall, Wetzel and Ohio counties.
Gastar Exploration is drilling an exploratory well in
both the Utica and Point Pleasant formations in Marshall
County. Stone Energy Corp. operates mostly in Wetzel
County and plans to drill a Utica exploratory well in June.
Fossil Creek of Ohio also is exploring the Utica Shale in
the panhandle, according to The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register.
“In West Virginia, we are currently drilling our first
Utica/Point Pleasant exploration well in Marshall County
and expect to have results early in the third quarter of
2014. Based on nearby operator activity, we are highly
optimistic about the potential of this formation and believe that it underlies our entire acreage position in both
Marshall and Wetzel counties,” J. Russell Porter, Gastar
president and CEO, told the newspaper.
Gastar hopes to drill its Simms 5H well 11,100 feet
vertically before turning it to go another 4,200 feet horizontally.
The Point Pleasant formation lies near the Utica Shale,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
“We expect 2014 to be marked by further realization
of the growing value of our assets as we test new formations and expand the areas in which we are developing
our currently producing formations,” Porter said. “Later
this year, we will be moving both of our Marcellus and
Utica drilling programs south to Wetzel County, where
we expect results to be equally as attractive as our Marcellus wells and pending Utica well in Marshall County.”
Louisiana-based Stone Energy is looking forward to its
first Utica Shale exploration well, which should be completed in June. Testing is expected to begin latere this
year, President and CEO David Welch said.
Stone Energy also plans to produce more than 100 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from its Marcellus
wells by the second half of this year, Welch said.

The survey also asked about
psychological distress. About
one-third of respondents said
they worried all of the time in
the month after the crisis began,
dropping to below 20 percent in
the month leading up to the survey. During the early stages of the
crisis, more than 20 percent said
they weren’t worried at all, which
grew to more than 40 percent in
the weeks before the survey.
Four of five respondents indicated their household learned
about the spill the day it occurred. More than half found out
through broadcast media outlets,
and more than 10 percent each
learned either through word of
mouth or through an odor in the
air or water.
According to the survey, 43 percent of respondents were age 65
or older, 41 percent were ages 45
to 64 and 16 percent were ages 18
to 44. Two thirds of the respondents were females and more than
40 percent indicated they were
retired.

eight days after the spill. Dozens
of businesses and residents have
sued Freedom over lost wages and
profits during the water-use ban.
Their cases remain frozen while
bankruptcy proceedings continue.

Overall, nine in 10 respondents
said they tried to obtain another
source of water after the spill, including bottled water from stores
or free water from a distribution

More than one-third of respondents said they had $100 or less in
extra household expenses related
to the chemical spill, such as water, food or child care. Nearly onefourth said they spent between
$100 and $250 and more than 15
percent said they spent $250 to
$500.
After the ban was lifted, more
than half of respondents felt their
tap water wasn’t safe and about
one-fourth felt it was. The rest
didn’t know or refused to answer.
Kanawha County health officer Dr. Rahul Gupta released a
portion of the results last week
that found about one-third of respondents indicated a member
of their household had a spillrelated illness. On Monday, the
results showed rashes and skin
irritations were the most common
symptoms.
Of those households involving a
spill-related illness, about 7 in 10
respondents said they didn’t seek

STEWART, Ohio — The
Wahama baseball team
claimed a season sweep
of host Federal Hocking
Saturday afternoon following a 13-1 victory in a TriValley Conference Hocking
Division matchup in Athens County.
The White Falcons (14-9,
12-3 TVC Hocking) never
trailed in the contest as the
guests jumped out to leads
of 1-0 and 4-0 through an
inning and a half of play.
The Lancers (10-6, 9-6)
countered with their only
score in the bottom of the
second, but WHS scored
the final nine runs to wrap
up the 12-run triumph.
The guests plated two
runs apiece in the fourth,
fifth and seventh frames
and also scored three runs
in the sixth inning. Wahama also posted a 9-2 win
over FHHS at Bachtel Stadium back on April 17.
The White Falcons outhit the hosts by a 9-2 overall margin and also benefited from miscues as Fed
Hock committed all five
errors of the contest. WHS
stranded eight runners on
base while the Lancers left

just three on the bags.
Kane Roush and Wesley
Harrison paced Wahama
with two hits apiece, followed by Hunter Bradley, Wyat Zuspan, Brent
Larck, Tyler Grimm and
Ryan Thomas with a safety
apiece.
Bradley, Zuspan, Harrison and Grimm each drove
in a run, while Bradley
scored four times for the
guests. Roush, Harrison
and Grimm also scored two
runs apiece for the victors.
Bradley was the winning
pitcher of record after allowing one run, two hits
and two walks over six innings while striking out
a dozen. Phillip Hoffman
suffered the setback after
surrendering eight runs,
five hits and six walks over
five frames while fanning
seven.
Jon Rose and Noah McCune each had a hit for Fed
Hock, with Rose scoring a
run on an RBI by McCune.
Wahama still has a makeup game with Trimble, but
it is unknown at this time
when or if the game will
be made up. Trimble (122 TVC Hocking) currently
has a one-game lead in the
league standings.

tough finish for the Meigs baseball team Saturday afternoon during a 6-5 setback to host Amanda Clearcreek in a
non-conference matchup in Fairfield County.
The Marauders (13-7) trailed 4-0 after one inning and
were down 6-1 through two complete, but the guests plated three runs in the fourth to close to within 6-4 after four

Texas A&amp;M quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) deliveres a pass in the first half against Missouri at Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo., on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013.

Browns hit highs, lows, snag Manziel
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The euphoria didn’t last long. Never does
around here.
For one glorious moment in
the three-day NFL draft and a
few hours that followed, this longsuffering football town was at the
center of the NFL universe.
When Commissioner Roger
Goodell stepped to the podium on
the Radio City Music Hall stage in
New York and announced that the
Browns had made a trade and that
Johnny Manziel — yes, Johnny
College Football himself — was
bringing his aerial magic show to
Cleveland, the city rocked like it
hadn’t in years.
Grown men squealed like little
girls. Twitter erupted. Phone lines
at the Browns’ headquarters lit up
as fans scrambled for season tickets.
It was chaos.
It was brief.
Manziel’s selection, a pick the
Browns hope finally ends their
decade-long search for a franchise
quarterback, was quickly eclipsed
by an ESPN report that Pro Bowl
wide receiver Josh Gordon failed
another drug test and is facing at
least a one-year suspension by the
league.

Elation, then deflation.
Gordon led the league with
1,646 yards receiving last season
despite being suspended the first
two games for his second infraction of the league’s substanceabuse policy. It was at least Gordon’s fifth failed drug test since
2010. He was kicked off Baylor’s
team for twice testing positive for
marijuana and failed another test
at Utah.
Browns rookie general manager
Ray Farmer couldn’t comment
specifically on Gordon’s situation,
saying “my hands are tied for
what I can say.”
However, Farmer strongly
hinted the team may be without
its top offensive player for an extended period.
And if so, Farmer understands
why some Cleveland fans have
mixed feelings following an emotional roller-coaster during the
draft.
“Frustration is a natural part of
it,” he said. “I think that was what
was felt and heard when that announcement (about Gordon) was
made, so I don’t fault the fans for
their reaction. I don’t fault anyone
for being disappointed. To that

end, it’s our job to make decisions
less painful.
“And in time, it’s no different
than if a player was going out during the offseason and broke an ankle or tore an ACL playing pickup
hoops. We have to build a football
team that can win regardless of
who’s missing. I think that’s the
charge that we have. That’s my
job. That’s coach Pettine’s job. To
prepare this football team to win
games regardless of who’s missing.”
Despite a deep class of wide receivers, the Browns chose not to
draft any.
Farmer believes he improved
Cleveland’s roster by drafting
six players and acquiring three
picks in next year’s draft. He
didn’t show any first-time jitters
in making five trades, the biggest
in moving up from No. 26 to No.
22 to grab Manziel, Texas A&amp;M’s
star quarterback.
“I didn’t think I’d be a wheeler,
dealer, that’s for certain,” Farmer said, joking that he earned a
nickname when teams called the
Browns. “It was definitely interesting to hear friends and colleagues
say, ‘Is Trader Ray available?’”

Clippers’ owner, Sterling, apologizes, says ‘not a racist’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los
Angeles Clippers owner Donald
Sterling apologized Sunday for
racist comments captured on
tape, saying they were a “terrible
mistake.”
“I’m not a racist,” Sterling told
CNN’s Anderson Cooper in excerpts posted from an interview
taped Sunday and set to air Monday. “I made a terrible mistake.
I’m here to apologize.”
In his first public comments
since being banned for life from
the NBA, Sterling said years
of good behavior as an owner
should count toward his future.
“I’m a good member who made
a mistake,” Sterling said. “Am I
entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my
league, I love my partners. Am
I entitled to one mistake? It’s a

terrible mistake, and I’ll never do
it again.”
The interview came nearly
two weeks after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling, fined him $2.5 million and
urged the other league owners to
force him to sell the team.
Sterling said he waited to
make a public apology because
he was “emotionally distraught.”
“The reason it’s hard for me,
very hard for me, is that I’m
wrong,” Sterling said. “I caused
the problem. I don’t know how to
correct it.”
He later added, “If the owners
feel I have another chance, then
they’ll give it to me.”
Sterling’s comments came on
the same day ABC News posted excerpts of an interview his estranged
wife gave to Barbara Walters.

Shelly Sterling said she would
fight to keep her 50 percent ownership stake of the team.
“I will fight that decision,”
Shelly Sterling said. “To be honest with you, I’m wondering if a
wife of one of the owners, and
there’s 30 owners, did something
like that, said those racial slurs,
would they oust the husband? Or
would they leave the husband in?
“I don’t know why I should be
punished for what his actions were.”
NBA spokesman Mike Bass released a statement Sunday night
in response to Shelly Sterling’s
comments.
“Under the NBA constitution,
if a controlling owner’s interest
is terminated by a three-quarter
vote, all other team owners’
interests are automatically terminated as well,” Bass said. “It

doesn’t matter whether the owners are related as is the case here.
These are the rules to which all
NBA owners agreed to as a condition of owning their team.”
Shelly Sterling’s attorney,
Pierce O’Donnell, responded to
the NBA’s statement.
“We do not agree with the
league’s self-serving interpretation of its constitution, its application to Shelly Sterling or
its validity under these unique
circumstances,” O’Donnell said.
“We live in a nation of laws. California law and the United States
Constitution trump any such interpretation.”
ABC posted initial excerpts of
Shelly Sterling’s interview and
planned to air the rest of it Monday.
Shelly Sterling also said she
“eventually” will divorce her hus-

band, and that she hadn’t yet done
so due to financial considerations.
“For the last 20 years, I’ve been
seeing attorneys for a divorce,”
she said. “In fact, I have here — I
just filed — I was going to file
the petition. I signed the petition for a divorce. And it came
to almost being filed. And then,
my financial adviser and my attorney said to me, ‘Not now.’”
LeBron James said Sunday
after the Miami Heat practiced
for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the
Brooklyn Nets that NBA players
believe nobody in the Sterling
family should be able to own the
Clippers if he’s gone.
“As players, we want what’s
right and we don’t feel like no
one in his family should be able
to own the team,” James said.

Bengals take quarterback A.J. McCarron, upgrade defense
CINCINNATI (AP) — A
cornerback who sees a little
of himself in Darrelle Revis.
A tall defensive end who is
similar to Michael Johnson,
even sharing his jersey number.
The Bengals think they’ve
upgraded two important areas by getting cornerback
Darqueze Dennard and defensive end Will Clarke in
the draft. They also brought
in a center who could start
right away and a running
back who could be pretty
close behind.
“You feel good about it
at the end,” coach Marvin
Lewis said.
And for their most intriguing move, they formed
a new throw-and-catch tandem.
Get ready for A.J.-to-A.J.
In practice, anyway.
The Bengals got a big-

game quarterback to back
up Andy Dalton on Saturday, taking Alabama’s A.J.
McCarron in the fifth round.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up was still available for
the 164th overall pick.
McCarron’s history of
winning national championships was enticing to the
Bengals, who haven’t been
able to win with Dalton in
the playoffs. Still, the pecking order is set for the foreseeable future. It’ll be Dalton throwing to A.J. Green.
“I’m confident in myself
but at the same time, I know
Andy’s the QB out there
and I respect that,” McCarron said on a conference
call. “All I want to do is go
in and help us in whatever
way I can.
“If that means me holding
the clipboard for a couple of
years and giving Andy re-

ports during the week and
watching film with him and
helping him in any way I
can, I’m just ready to do it.”
Dalton led the Bengals
to the playoffs in each of
his first three seasons, only
to have some of his worst
games. The Bengals lost
their opening-round game
all three seasons, falling to
0-5 in the postseason under
Lewis.
The Bengals haven’t won
a playoff game since 1990,
matching the sixth-longest
streak of postseason futility
in NFL history.
Although Dalton is entering the final year on his
deal, he and the Bengals are
discussing an extension and
the club has been unwavering in its support. When
it comes to developing his
backups, Cincinnati hasn’t
had as much success.

The Bengals signed Jason
Campbell in the offseason,
their third different backup
in the last three years. They
still have Josh Johnson,
who was No. 2 last season.
Dalton had expected them
to draft a backup in a later
round and try to develop
him.
At least initially, there’s
not much of a commitment
to McCarron.
“We tell all our quarterbacks here: You may not
start here, but if you come
here and you grow and you
prepare and you learn, you
may have to play someplace else in your career
— we never know how
that’s going to unfold —
but what we’re going to do
is create an environment
where our quarterbacks
can be the best that they
can be,” offensive coordi-

nator Hue Jackson said.
With Dalton getting most
of the plays in practice and
Campbell trying to grow
into the backup role, McCarron will get his best
chance to throw to Green
and the other receivers before and after practice.
The Bengals think that
McCarron’s
competitiveness will help the other
quarterbacks in some ways.
“The bar in his mind is
set really high and I know
he felt this is a long way
down the road for him to get
picked,” quarterbacks coach
Ken Zampese said. “He’s
happy being picked, but he
saw himself in a much higher light in regard to how the
NFL saw him.
“I just know he sees himself as guy that’s a starter,
that’s on top of the heap,
that he can do all those

things. And I love that about
him.”
The Bengals moved up 12
spots in the fourth round —
only the third time in franchise history that they’ve
traded up in a round — to
get center Russell Bodine
from North Carolina. He’ll
compete right away for the
start job left open when Kyle
Cook was released.
Overall, the Bengals drafted Dennard, LSU running
back Jeremy Hill, Clarke,
North Carolina center Russell Bodine, McCarron,
Arizona linebacker Marquis Flowers, LSU receiver
James Wright and Georgia
Southern defensive back
Lavelle Westbrooks.
Dennard, who tries to
emulate Revis, is slated for
a reserve role initially. So is
Clarke, who got Johnson’s
No. 93.

Ravens take Urban, then
get offensive in draft

Phil Masturzo | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown talks with rookie Anthony Bennett during the second quarter against
the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014, in Cleveland.

Cavaliers fire coach Mike Brown
CLEVELAND (AP) — Mike
Brown’s second shot with the
Cavaliers lasted one season.
Brown was fired Monday as
coach for the second time in four
years by owner Dan Gilbert, who
brought back the only coach to
get the Cavs to the NBA finals but
then dismissed him after the team
failed to make the playoffs.
The Cavs went 33-49 under
Brown, who had four years remaining on his contract.
“This is a very tough business,”
Gilbert said in a statement. “It
pains all of us here that we needed to make the difficult decision
of releasing Mike Brown. Mike
worked hard over this last season
to move our team in the right direction. Although, there was some
progress from our finish over the
few prior seasons, we believe we

need to head in a different direction. We wish Mike and his family
nothing but the best.”
Gilbert also said David Griffin
would lose the interim in his title
and be the team’s full-time general
manager. Gilbert took over on
Feb. 6, when Gilbert fired Chris
Grant.
Cleveland went 17-16 under
Griffin, but the club finished 10th
in the weaker Eastern Conference
and failed to make the postseason
despite Gilbert’s pledge the club
would qualify.
Gilbert said he interviewed
several other candidates before
deciding to give Griffin the fulltime gig.
“We chose David as our GM
because we believe he is the best
person to lead our franchise at
this critical time and into the fu-

ture,” Gilbert said. David brings
over two decades of experience.
He knows the ins and outs of this
league as well as anyone and is
also an outstanding talent evaluator.”
Gilbert said Griffin would lead
the search to find Brown’s successor.
While the Cavs showed some
improvement, Brown was unable
to get the team to play consistently. There were also some personality conflicts between All-Star
guard Kyrie Irving and backcourt
mate Dion Waiters. Although the
two claimed to get along, there
was little harmony on the floor.
The Cavs enter a summer when
they are expected to be active in
free agency and they can offer Irving a maximum contract extension.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — On the third day of
the NFL draft, Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie
Newsome finally gave offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak
some ammunition for the 2014 season.
Newsome started Saturday’s session by taking Virginia
defensive end Brent Urban in the fourth round. At the
point, four of Baltimore’s first five picks were designed to
improve a defense that ranked 12th in the NFL last year.
Newsome balanced the ledger by picking four straight
offensive players to close out his 19th draft with Baltimore. He selected Coastal Carolina running back Lorenzo
Taliaferro with the team’s second compensatory pick in
the fourth round, then picked Penn State guard John Urschel in the fifth round before snagging Ball State quarterback Keith Wenning in the sixth round.
That was supposed to be the end of the draft for the
Ravens, who went 8-8 last year. But Newsome traded
Baltimore’s sixth-round pick in 2015 to get Cleveland’s
seventh-round selection and took wide receiver Michael
Campanaro, who played high school ball in Maryland before starring at Wake Forest.
Final tally for the 2014 Ravens draft: Five offensive
players, four defensive players.
“It just worked itself out that way,” Newsome said. “We
did not go in today saying we were just going to draft
offensive players. We were going to try to take the best
players that were available, and they just happened to be
offensive players.”
The early picks, of course, have a far better chance of
making an impact. This draft will be judged heavily on
the contributions of Baltimore’s first three choices (in
order): Linebacker C.J. Mosley of Alabama; nose guard
Timmy Jernigan of Florida State and strong safety Terrence Brooks, also from FSU.
Going into Saturday’s session, the hope was that the
Ravens could find a few players who would prove to be
helpful to Kubiak, who took the offensive reigns during
the offseason.
Baltimore never did get a right tackle, which remains
the team’s most glaring hole. The way it stands now, Rick
Wagner, drafted last year in the fifth round, is the heir apparent to the departed Michael Oher.
“It wasn’t stacked very well, and we were not going to
reach down and just take a player at the tackle position,”
Newsome said. “Also, we’re not done as far as building
this football team.”
Newsome has a reputation for gleaning talent from the
later rounds, but on Saturday he gambled on a former
hockey player and a small-school running back.
The 6-foot-7, 298-pound Urban had 40 tackles in eight
games last year with the Cavaliers, missing time with a
high ankle sprain.
Drafted 15th overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before
his senior season at Virginia, the Canadian-born Urban
quit hockey around the age of 16 after realizing his body
was better suited for football.
“I was definitely the biggest guy and I’d get a lot of penalties that a smaller guy wouldn’t have gotten,” he said.
“So it was right about that time that I decided to switch
over.”

Steelers focus on speed
during busy Draft
PITTSBURGH
(AP)
— Mike Tomlin insists
his team went looking for
contributors and not track
stars during the NFL draft.
The fact the Pittsburgh
Steelers picked up some of
the quickest players on the
board turned out to be a bonus. Now the group labeled
“old” and “slow” by critics
hardly looks like either.
Pittsburgh took four offensive players and five defensive players with its nine
picks, including linebacker
Ryan Shazier, running
back Dri Archer and wide
receiver Martavis Bryant.
All three turned in blazing
40-yard dash times during
the run-up to the draft. All
three are expected to make
an immediate impact on a
team trying to return to the
NFL elite after consecutive
8-8 seasons.
“They’re football players
first who happen to be extremely fast,” Tomlin said.
Versatile, too. Secondary
coach Carnell Lake joked
that Shazier — whom the
Steelers took with the 15th
overall pick in the first
round — could easily move
from inside linebacker to
safety if linebackers coach
Keith Butler didn’t want
the Ohio State star.
Archer ran for 1,429
yards at Kent State as a
junior, averaged 7.8 yards
per carry last fall and is
expected to be in the mix
in both the passing and return game when training
camp opens in July.
Though the 6-foot-4 Bryant finally gives quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
the kind of big target that
pays dividends near the
goalline, Bryant also averaged nearly 20 yards per
reception in 2013 while
lining up next to Sammy
Watkins at Clemson.
“I know that Big Ben
knows how to get the ball
down the field and they’ve
had some great wide receivers over the years,” Bryant
said. “He loves throwing
the ball deep and I just
want to come and help.”
Wide receivers coach
Richard Mann believes
Bryant could be a start-

er in the NFL, perhaps
sooner rather than later.
The team hasn’t had a
true “big” receiver since
Plaxico Burress left for the
New York Giants in 2005.
Antonio Brown made the
Pro Bowl last season and
set a team record for yards
receiving in a season with
1,499 but at 5-10 isn’t the
type to go up and get it.
That won’t be a problem
for Bryant.
“With the reach that
he has, the arms, and the
wingspan, I feel like we
can get some cheap touchdowns down there,” Mann
said. “He’s not afraid.”
Bryant’s selection led a
busy final day of the draft
for Pittsburgh, which had
six picks over the final
four rounds.
The Steelers finally addressed a need at cornerback by taking Shaquille
Richardson out of Arizona
in the fifth round. Richardson has a history with
Lake, who recruited him to
UCLA when Lake was an
assistant with the Bruins.
Four years later they’re reunited, with Lake hoping
the 6-foot Richardson can
provide an aging secondary
with a physical presence.
“He gives us good size
out there and somebody
that has the ability to put
a lot of pressure on tall
receivers that have been
drafted lately in the last
few years,” Lake said.
Pittsburgh
grabbed
Vanderbilt offensive lineman Wesley Johnson with
a compensatory pick in the
fifth round. Johnson started
more than 50 games for the
Commodores and ended up
playing four of the five positions along the line.
He’ll be asked to do the
same for the Steelers, who
have been forced to shuffle
the line around in each of
the last three seasons due
to injuries.
The Steelers took linebacker Jordan Zumwalt
out of UCLA with their
first pick in the sixth round
then grabbed massive nose
tackle Daniel McCullers
from Tennessee with their
second pick in the sixth.

Martin Kaymer putts on the
15th green during the Wells
Fargo Championship ProAm at Quail Hollow Club in
Charlotte, N.C., Thursday,
May 1.

Jeff Siner | Charlotte Observer | MCT

A big putt, and a big win for Martin Kaymer
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Martin Kaymer thought
his gap wedge to the island green
on the 17th hole at The Players Championship was fine. He
couldn’t believe it when he realized it had bounced sideways and
spun so hard that it wound up
in the shaggy collar, a foot away
from going into the water.
That one shot summed up the
final hour of Kaymer’s remarkable
victory Sunday at the TPC Sawgrass.
There was stress and surprise
around every corner, not the
least of which was Kaymer saving par with a 30-foot putt on the
17th hole that sped down a slope,
turned right and rolled into the
middle of the cup. That carried
him to a one-shot victory over
Jim Furyk, the first trophy for the
29-year-old German since the end
of 2012.
He putted from short of the
18th green to 3 feet, rapped that

in for another par and closed with
a 1-under 71.
But it was that par on the 17th
that will be the signature moment
of a peculiar week at Sawgrass.
“I thought it was actually a
good golf shot, maybe 2 feet
short,” Kaymer said. “I don’t
know. That’s the way it looked
from the tee box. Yeah, I was very
surprised it was not even on the
green. Yeah, I look forward to seeing the 17th hole in general. It
was a very strange way to make
a 3.”
It was a finish Kaymer could
not have imagined.
Jordan Spieth began The Players by going 58 holes without a
bogey, only to make five in the
next 11 holes and miss another
opportunity at a big event. He
shared the 54-hole lead at the
Masters and The Players and
watched someone else leave with
the trophy.
Furyk was the runner-up for the

second straight week, both times
from the locker room. He closed
with a 66 — waiting 90 minutes
through a storm delay before he
could return to tap in for par on
the 18th, and then another hour
to see if his 12-under 278 would
be enough to catch Kaymer, or at
least force a playoff.
Kaymer, who looked so finely
tuned all week, was a changed
man after the rain delay. He hardly missed a shot and built a threeshot lead, only to return from the
break and leave his thinking cap
back in the clubhouse at Sawgrass.
A bad tee shot and an even
worse chip led to a double bogey
on the 15th hole, and suddenly
his lead was down to one shot.
In position to make birdie at the
par-5 16th, he chose the safe —
nervous, in this case — play with
a putter up the slope of the green
and had to two-putt from 35 feet
just to make par.
