Rees, 78 Elizabeth Riepenhoff, 57 Edith Ross Dennis R. Russell, 28 Cox pleads not guilty to corruption charge By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man who has already been indicted on drug-related charges in multiple felony cases pleaded not guilty Thursday to second-degree felony charge of corrupting another with drugs. Allen A. Cox, 48, of White Road, Gallipolis, also pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of tampering with evidence after he allegedly “removed illegal drugs from the scene of a drug overdose” in an attempt to impair its value as evidence in a proceeding investigation. According to the language of the indictment in this case, on Nov. 7, 2013, the defendant allegedly administered, furnished, induced or caused Travis Martin to use a controlled substance and thereby caused serious physical harm to the victim, or caused Martin to become drug dependent. Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins and Assistant Prosecutor Eric Mulford reported following the arraignment hearing that, while they cannot release any specific facts in this case, they can report that the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) brought a case to their office following the investigation of the “scene of a drug overdose” and the alleged corruption charge — a case that was subsequently submitted to a grand jury earlier this month. “Ohio BCI submitted a case file to this office that included interviews of the other occupants of the residence and other persons associated with the residence,” Mulford said. “Testimony was presented to the grand jury, which found probable cause to issue the indictment.” Present in court on Thursday was Cox, along with his court-appointed counsel, Graham Woodyard, and Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins.

In his most recent previous case, Cox was sentenced in January 2011 to 11 months of imprisonment after pleading guilty to one count of drug possession and was further ordered to serve out the remainder of his prison sentence in a 2006 case — a case in which he was granted judicial release.

Cox later entered guilty pleas to two counts of drug possession, one count of the illegal use of food stamps, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of drug trafficking. He was sentenced in early 2007 to serve 11 months of incarceration in relation to his first 2006 case and three years of prison in his second 2006 case — sentences that were ordered to be served concurrently.

Just over two years after he was sentenced to prison, in January 2009, Cox was granted judicial release and was sentenced to a total of three years of probation with the stipulation that any violation of his probation count lead to his return to prison to serve out the remainder of his prison term. On Aug. 7, 2010, law enforcement officials reportedly performed a probation search at Cox’s residence and discovered illicit drugs in the home. A drug trafficking charge from the Aug. 7 search of Cox’s residence was listed in an indictment filed later in 2010 along with charges that the defendant was in the possession of Methadone tablets on April 2, 2010, and had sold or offered to sell the drugs. He subsequently pleaded guilty to one count of drug possession in late December 2010, and, early the following year, the defendant was sentenced to 11 months of imprisonment. He was further ordered to serve the remaining time on his original sentence in relation to his 2006 cases due to community control violations. These two sentences were ordered to be served concurrently. He was further ordered to forfeit $1,428 to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office as proceeds that were used in relation to his alleged drug activity. Cox also has three additional closed common pleas cases. In two 1999 cases, Cox pleaded guilty to one count of violating a protection order and one count of drug possession and was later placed on community control in relation to these charges. However, community control violations were filed in these cases in September 2000 and Cox was later sentenced to serve 21 days in jail and his community control was ordered continued. In a 2005 common pleas case, Cox pleaded guilty to the attempted possession of drugs, a first degree misdemeanor, and was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000. �Sunday, May 25, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Bartow-Jones Bridge inspection starts next week POINT PLEASANT — Fox Engineering & Construction will be conducting the routine annual inspection on the Bartow-Jones Bridge most of next week.

You need to make good decisions now, because those decisions will provide you with opportunities later in life.” Trenton Wolfe, the class valedictorian, told his classmates to harness the energy they feel from activities they enjoy to guide them through the remainder of their lives. “Use that same feeling you get when you perform that activity to drive you through your life,” he said. “Whether this activity is sports, dancing or playing an instrument, use the high that you get to propel you through your life. No matter where you get that feeling from, take advantage of it. When that feeling expires, and that same momentum is no longer driving you in the right direction … that’s when you fall back on your family and friends because they will always be there for you.” Wolfe told his classmates he feared graduation. “I have a fear of leaving behind my everyday routine,” he said. “This fear is just a precursor to other fears we will face in our lifetime.” Kaci Bryant, Class of 2014 salutatorian, told classmates to live by the words of her father, Joe Bryant. “Whatever it is that you are doing, do it to the best of your ability,” she said. “Make people remember how well you did it.” Students named to the Top 10 percent of the class include: Daryl Barcus, Sarah Blodgett, Kayla Browning, Kaci Bryant, Trenton Wolfe, Kasey Eblin, Trey Farley, Nick Jeffers, Libby Leach and Jacob Winters.

By E.J. Dionne Anyone with a weak stomach and refined sensibilities should stay out of Kentucky for the next six months. From the mountains to the gentle bluegrass, this normally civilized state was transformed on Tuesday night into the staging ground for a merciless war over everything that has gone wrong in American politics during the last five and a half years. The books were not even closed on Tuesday’s primary when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell let loose a volley of ridicule that gave a suburban hotel ballroom the feel of a testing ground for a new generation of political weaponry. The more-feared-thanloved incumbent had just handily won a bitter Republican contest against Matt Bevin, a tea party candidate whose concession speech showed how bruised he felt after being run over by the McConnell machine. McConnell laconically invited a round of applause for Bevin and then moved to his main purpose: treating Alison Lundergan Grimes, his Democratic opponent, not as a person in her own right but as an agent for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. First elected to the Senate three decades ago, McConnell clearly realizes he cannot win on the basis of his own low poll ratings. So he’ll try to survive by running against Democratic politicians who, in this red state, may be even more unpopular. Thus his reduction of the 35-year-old Grimes to a cipher, the handmaiden to “every Hollywood liberal” who “is in this race because Barack Obama and Harry Reid want her to be in this race.” But when Grimes spoke at her own primary victory party 75 miles away in Lexington, she was anything but a cipher. She was rousing in assailing McConnell but did not rise up in defense of either Obama or Reid. Indeed, she distanced herself from what she, sounding a McConnell theme, termed the president’s “war on coal,” coal being an issue with symbolic power here beyond its economic impact on the state’s mining counties. President Obama is not on “Kentucky’s 2014 election ballot,” she declared. But McConnell is, and the best way for Kentucky voters to express their dissatisfaction, she said, was to vote out “Senator Gridlock” and to put “people above partisanship.” For good measure, she broached populist prolabor themes, challenging McConnell for opposing a minimum wage increase and a bill on equal pay for women. She also denounced anti-union rightto-work laws being pushed here by Republicans. On Wednesday morning, the state’s airwaves were graced with an immediate exchange of ads, characteristic of each side’s strategy. Pro-McConnell forces blanketed the state with an attack spot that reprised his election night themes and condemned Grimes as “too liberal for Kentucky.” Grimes went for a more subtle jibe with a 60-second spot in which she spoke directly to the camera. “It seems no matter how many elections we have, nothing gets better in Washington. It only gets worse,” she said. “I approved this message because it’s time Washington put the good of our people ahead of the bad that comes from acting petty and small. We’ve had too much of that for too long.” From all this, two conclusions are inescapable. The first is that — unfortunately for the Democrats — many of the 2014 contests that will decide which party controls the Senate next year are in Republican states such as this one (along with Arkansas, Louisiana and Georgia). The result will be an imbalanced argument. McConnell and other Republicans will go hard against Obama. Their Democratic opponents will run bankshot campaigns, far less in support of the president than in opposition to the obstruction created by relentless Republican partisanship. In Georgia on Tuesday night, Michelle Nunn, a Democrat who, like Grimes, has a real chance of grabbing a GOP seat, echoed Grimes’ plea for more reasonableness in Washington. Nunn insisted that it’s the “absolute failure to work together that’s causing Washington to be so dysfunctional.” Well, yes. But you have to ask: Will calls for Washington’s players to get along better have the same mobilizing power as blaming the whole mess on Obama? Kentucky Democrats hungry to oust McConnell seem to be rallying already. But what about elsewhere? Which leads to a second, depressing conclusion: The backdrop of this election is a profound gloom about the state of our continuing national experiment in self-government. That’s why politics here — but in many other places, too — is moving toward nuclear winter. Is it naive to ask if there is still a market somewhere for hope? By Sheldon Richman Except for the 2012 deadly attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya has dropped out of American news coverage since President Obama and NATO’s so-called humanitarian intervention in 2011. The American public has been led to believe that except for that terrorist outburst, things have been going pretty well in the country formerly ruled by Muammar Qaddafi. So it might come as a surprise that Obama has sent over 200 marines along with Osprey aircraft to Sicily in case the American embassy in Tripoli has to be evacuated. According to an administration official, the reason for the move is the “deterioration of the security situation” in the capital. All has not been well in Libya since the U.S. military led NATO forces in an air campaign to overthrow Gaddafi. American officials assured us that “moderates” would succeed the cruel and unpredictable dictator, who had become a U.S. ally during the Iraq war. However, it turns out that the moderate victors were not so moderate; in fact they resembled al-Qaeda. Was the Obama administration, propelled by then secretary of state Hillary Clinton, then UN ambassador Susan Rice, and then National Security Council staffer Samantha Power, being a bit disingenuous because it was desperate to appear to be on the side of the Arab Spring after opposing the Egyptian people’s struggle for democracy in favor of the loyal U.S.-backed dictator Hosni Mubarak in 2011? As the Independent’s Middle East correspondent Patrick Cockburn points out, American officials have tended to exaggerate the power of the al-Qaeda organization, but Obama, for political reasons, did precisely the opposite in Libya’s case. “They played down any similarity between al-Qa’ida and the Nato-backed rebels fighting to overthrow the Libyan leader. This was done by describing as dangerous only those jihadis who had a direct operational link to the al-Qa’ida “core” of Osama bin Laden. The falsity of the pretence that the antiGaddafi jihadis in Libya were less threatening than those in contact with al-Qa’ida was forcefully, if tragically, exposed when U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens was killed by jihadi fighters in Benghazi in September 2012. These were the same fighters lauded by governments and media for their role in the anti-Gaddafi uprising. Since then, Libya has been anything but peaceful or moderate. And now Libya, Cockburn writes, “is tipping toward allout civil war as rival militias take sides for and against an attempted coup led by a renegade general that has pushed the central government towards disintegration.” The renegade general is Khalifa Hifter, an anti-Islamist whose forces “stormed the parliament building in Tripoli at the weekend, after earlier attacking Islamist militia camps in Benghazi.” Government leaders have summoned Islamist militias for help. Cockburn says what’s happening now is the worst violence since the regime change. Cockburn notes that Hifter, “who in the 1980s fought for Gaddafi in Mali but defected to the U.S., where he lived for many years, returned to Libya in 2011 but played only a limited role in the revolt.” His militia, Cockburn says, is one of many that operate throughout Libya. The threat of civil war is not the only result of Western intervention in Libya. The overthrow of Gaddafi is a lesson in the dangers of interfering with other countries. He was a brutal dictator, of course, and the people would have been justified in kicking him out. But outsiders can never know what will follow their intervention. In this case, regime change produced a flow of weapons and jihadi training opportunities that in turn led to violence in Mali and the horrific abductions in Nigeria by Boko Haram. As Brendan O’Neill of Spiked Online writes: “Nothing boosted Boko Haram’s fortunes so much as the West’s assault on Libya in 2011. It was that vain bombing war, that Western-led dismantling of a regime that cohered Libya and its border regions for 40-plus years, which created new spaces in West Africa in which Boko Haram could train, get hold of weaponry and, in the words of one Nigerian observer, become more ‘audacious’ than ever.” The first rule governments should follow is, “Do no harm.” The second rule is, “Assume that intervention will do far more harm than good.” #2/6.98� "3-27+8� 3=� @3-/� :</=3./8>� +8.� /.3>9<� +>� $2/� �?>?</�90��<//.97��9?8.+>398�38��+3<0+BM�&+L Effect of one-party rule is long-lasting By George Will Democracy can be cruel because elections deprive the demos of the delight of alibis and the comfort of complaining.

The state is a stark illustration of the effect of prolonged one-party rule, conducted by politicians subservient to government employees unions. A new Gallup poll shows that Illinois has the highest percentage — 50 percent — of residents who want to leave their state. If Illinois voters re-elect Gov. Pat Quinn, they will reject Bruce Rauner, who vows to change the state’s fundamental affliction — its political culture. The state’s strongest civic tradition is governors being jailed — four of the last nine have done so. Lt. Gov. Quinn ascended to the governorship in 2009 because Gov. Rod Blagojevich, of fragrant memory, tried to sell the Senate seat Barack Obama vacated. In 2010, Quinn defeated a downstate social conservative by 32,000 votes out of 3.7 million cast. Quinn’s job approval today is about 35 percent. Rauner spent $6.5 million of his own money in winning the Republican primary, partly because Democratic-aligned unions spent millions trying to pick Quinn’s opponent — attacking Rauner and supporting one of his GOP rivals. Quinn is, as Winston Churchill reportedly said of an adversary, a modest man with much to be modest about. Hence Quinn’s campaign theme: Don’t compare me to the Almighty; compare me to the alternative. Concerning social issues, which energize much of the Republican base but repel many suburban voters in the “collar counties” around Chicago, Rauner is impeccably prudent, meaning disengaged. Abortion, he says, is “a tragedy” best left to women, not government. Gay marriage? Let each state decide by referendum “that particular contract between adults.” Quinn, unable to work the “war on women” trope, must rely on contemporary liberalism’s only other idea, rage against the rich. But this becomes awkward. Rauner’s support for more charter schools and school-choice voucher programs is one reason why he has been endorsed by the Rev. James Meeks, pastor for 15,000 members of the South Side’s Salem Baptist Church, Illinois’s largest black church. And one reason the teachers unions oppose him with ferocious disparagement of his wealth. Which is amusing. Since 2000, the Teachers’ Retirement System, Illinois’s largest pension program, has invested $120 million with Rauner’s private equity firm GTCR and reaped an average annual return of 25 percent, much better than TRS’s other privateequity investments. For Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers Union, it suffices to say that Rauner is a “millionaire capitalist.” He replies, “Teachers hired me for years.” Public pension funds are by far the largest funders of private equity firms. Illinois’s rate of population growth is the sixthlowest among the states, and its 8.4 percent unemployment rate is exceeded only by Rhode Island’s, another Democratic-dominated state, and Nevada’s. Michigan’s unemployment rate, the Midwest’s second-highest, is nearly a full point lower than Illinois’s. Bewildered liberals will say the state’s stagnation is “despite” Democrats having raised the corporate tax rate from 7.3 percent to 9.5 percent and impos- ing a “temporary” income tax rate increase from 3 percent to 5 percent. Now, unsurprisingly, Quinn proposes making the temporary increase permanent. Two contiguous states with Republican governors — Michigan and Indiana — have cut corporate taxation. “Cleanliness,” says Rauner, quoting former Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson, “is next to godliness, except in the Illinois legislature, where it is next to impossible.” Governors come and go in Springfield but legislators linger, and real power resides in the speaker of the House, Michael Madigan (D), who has been a legislator since Richard Nixon was president (1971). Rauner helped to finance the gathering of signatures to get term limits for state legislators on the November ballot, thereby energizing the huge majority that favors limits. Illinois voters can choose Rauner and term limits or the acceleration of stagnation and the end of the pleasure of complaining. �Sunday, May 25, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î�� Obituaries NATHAN DREW HARRISON OAK HILL, Ohio — Nathan Drew Harrison, 20, of Oak Hill, passed away Wednesday, May 21, 2014, at OSU East Hospital in Columbus.

The team asked the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday for permission to speak with assistant coach Alvin Gentry about Cleveland’s coaching vacancy, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press. Gentry, who has coached four other franchises, has not yet set up a meeting with the Cavs, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting on its search. The sides are working through some details, and are expected to meet in the next few days. Earlier this week, the Cavs defied long odds to win the draft lottery for the second year in a row and third time in four years. Cleveland is seeking its third coach in three years after Mike Brown was fired — for the second time by owner Dan Gilbert — last week following a 3349 season. Gentry worked previously in Phoenix with Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, who said there is no timetable to hire a new coach. “We do not feel this is a race,” he said. “This is not about being first. This is about getting it right. At the same time, if the right candidate did meet the criteria that we set out and is available and is as interested in us as we are in them, we would act on it at the time it presented itself.” The Cleveland Plain Dealer was first to report the Cavs’ intentions to interview Gentry. Gina Ferazzi | Los Angeles Times | MCT photo Phoenix Suns coach Alvin Gentry yells at an official and receives a technical foul against the Los Angeles Lakers during the first half at Staples Center on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, in Los Angeles, Calif. The Cavs are not limiting themselves to coaches with pro experience and are expected to reach out to college coaches. Having the No. 1 overall pick has certainly made them a more attractive destination. However, Gilbert’s penchant for firing GMs and coaches would have to make any candidate at least hesitant about coming to Cleveland. Brown was told to make the Cavs better defensively, and did so as the team went from last in the league in defensive field-goal percentage to 12th. Still, that wasn’t enough as Cleveland missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Gentry has solid qualifications and is believed to be a candidate for other openings. He has a 335-370 record in 12 seasons with Miami, Detroit, the Clippers and Phoenix. He led the Pistons and Suns to the postseason. Griffin said he hopes to find a coach more attuned to his offensive roots. With the team expected to land one of the best players in what is considered a deep draft along with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and guard Dion Waiters, the Cavs could have the core for a high-scoring team. “I’ve had a primarily offensive based focus with the people I was raised by,” Griffin said. “And I think it’s fair to say the Cavaliers have had a defensive focus. What excited me most about coming here is that I believe you find the truth in the middle. No franchise that’s incredibly well run is all one thing. We need to find a way to speak to the best of all parts of the offensive background I know, the defensive background that’s dyed in the wool of this franchise. “Ownership believes in defense, I believe in offense, and there’s a truth in the middle. We’re going to find that.” Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior catcher Rebekah Darst and junior pitcher Madison Barker look on as Lincoln County scores during the Region IV final, Thursday night in Mason County. Point Pleasant falls to Lady Panthers, 13-1 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Simply outmatched. The Point Pleasant softball team dropped a 13-1 Region IV final to Lincoln County Thursday night in Mason County. After a scoreless opening inning the Lady Panthers (27-8) broke through with an Ashley Hoffman threerun homerun. Brook West scored in the top of the third, Kayla Jeffers scored in the top of the fourth, while Sarah Barrett and Sarah Pennington both scored in the fifth to push the LCHS lead to 7-0. Madison Barker drove in Karissa Cochran in the bottom of the fifth to give the Lady Knights (25-9) their first run but Lincoln County scored six in the top of the seventh to help seal the 13-1 victory and a spot in the state tournament. PPHS sophomore Karissa Cochran suffered the loss after allowing a total of nine runs, two earned, on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. Madison Barker allowed four runs, two earned, on four hits in 2.1 innings. Cochran struck out four, while Barker struck out one. The winning pitcher of record was Brooke West, who struck out nine and allowed one run on three hits in seven innings. Barker led the Lady Knights offense with an RBI double, while Cami Hesson and Rebekah Darst each had one hit and Cochran scored the only run. Faith Huffman led LCHS with three hits, followed by Ashley Hoffman and Kayla Jeffers with two hits each. Jeffers scored three times, West and Barrett each scored twice, while Hoffman drove in a game-high four runs. Barrett and Huffman both had two RBIs, while West and Pennington each stole a base. LCHS finished with 13 runs, 11 hits, one error and left two runners on base, while PPHS had one run, three hits, six errors and left two on.

Lady Bearcats knock off Southern By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MINFORD, Ohio — A tough night at the office. The Southern softball team committed three errors through four innings of play, which ultimately proved costly Thursday night following a 4-1 setback to Paint Valley in a Division IV district semifinal contest at Minford High School in Scioto County. The second-seeded Lady Tornadoes (18-6) never led in the contest as the hosts mustered only three hits and three baserunners through seven frames. SHS also scored its only run of the night on the benefit of an error, which allowed the Purple and Gold to knot things up at one after one complete. The third-seeded Lady Bearcats, however, took control of the game in the top of the third after four hits and an error led to two runs — giving the guests a 3-1 cushion. PVHS (19-8) tacked on an insurance run in the sixth to claim a three-run edge, then struck out three of the four batters faced in the seventh to secure a spot in the district final. Paint Valley will face Waterford at 1 p.m. Saturday for a spot at regionals, with Eastern and Portsmouth Notre Dame fighting for the other D-4 regional berth at 11 p.m. Waterford defeated top-seeded Fairfield by a 4-3 count in the other district semifinal Thursday evening. The Lady Bearcats outhit Southern by an 8-3 overall margin and committed only one error in the contest, compared to three by the hosts. The Lady Tornadoes left two runners on base while the PVHS stranded five on the bags. Paint Valley started the scoring in the top of the first after Erin Riley led the game off with a single, then advanced to second on a sacrifice. Laci Stanforth reached safely on an infield error that also allowed Riley to score, giving the guests an early 1-0 cushion. SHS countered in its half of the first when Caitlyn Holter delivered a one-out single, then advanced to second as a throwback attempt trickled away from the first baseman and into right field. Holter stole third and the throw ended up down the left field line, allowing her to score an tie the game at one. Haven Nash and Riley delivered back-to-back singles to start the third, and a bad throw on Riley’s hit allowed the runners to move up to second and third with nobody out. Stanforth followed with a single that plated Nash with the eventual game-winning run, then Riley scored on a sac fly by Mikayla Newland to make it a 3-1 contest. Newland led the sixth off with a double that was almost caught by a diving Hannah Hill in left field, then Newland later scored on a single by Nellie Rhoads for a 4-1 score through six complete. Hill started the seventh with a single, but the next three SHS batters struck out — wrapping up the 4-1 decision. Newland was the winning pitcher of record after allowing zero walks over seven innings while striking out 11. Jordan Huddleston suffered the setback after surrendering one walk over seven frames while fanning two. Holter, Hill and Baylee Hupp each had a hit for the Lady Tornadoes, who reached last year’s regional semifinal round in D-4. It was also the final game for senior Hupp, Huddleston and Darien Diddle in the Purple and Gold. Riley and Stanforth paced Paint Valley with two hits apiece, followed by Rhoads, Newland, Nash and Taylor Waugh with a safety apiece.

The U.S. won, 2-0. Klinsmann dances around Donovan questions STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Jurgen Klinsmann tried to dance around the questions: Why take unproven youngsters to the World Cup and leave Landon Donovan home? A day after announcing his momentous decision to drop the most accomplished player in American men’s soccer, the U.S. coach hinted at answers without ever saying specifically why Donovan was among the final seven cuts. “As a coach, you have to make a decision based on what you want to execute in Brazil, what you want to see, how do you want to build those components into the entire group. And then I felt — we coaches felt — the guys that we chose, they’re a little step ahead of Landon in certain areas,” Klinsmann said Friday. The 32-year-old Donovan, the American record holder with 57 international goals and second with 156 appearances, was trying to make his fourth World Cup roster. He is scoreless in seven games with the Los Angeles Galaxy this season, and Klinsmann dropped him from the roster for the first half of 2013 after Donovan took a four-month sabbatical. Asked for specifics, Klinsmann said Donovan “maybe is not the one now anymore to go one against one all the time or going into the box or finishing off.” But the coach praised “his outstanding passing game, his experience, which is a big factor always.” “He changed his game over the last few years, which is normal at that stage of his career,” Klinsmann said. Donovan has five World Cup goals, including a stoppage-time score against Algeria four years ago that advanced the Ameri- cans to the second round. “We all have an incredible amount of respect and appreciation and admiration for everything that Landon has done for this team and for soccer in this country,” midfielder Michael Bradley said. “To see him walk out the door yesterday, to see six other guys walk out the door yesterday, is not easy.” Klinsmann said Donovan took the decision Thursday “with an amazing composure.” “Obviously, big disappointment. That is expected, and he said that, he doesn’t kind of understand it,” Klinsmann said. “He thinks he should have been in the 23.” Donovan was scheduled to discuss the decision Saturday after training with the Galaxy. “Just sad for all the guys who got cut and what comes with it,” U.S. captain Clint Dempsey said. “You bring in 30 players who have a lot of quality and it makes difficult decisions for the coaches to make.” Klinsmann said he hopes Donovan remains in the player pool in the future: The Americans have the CONCACAF Gold Cup next year and the Copa America in 2016, when qualifying for the next World Cup also starts. Donovan also could return for the World Cup if there is an injury to one of the players selected for the roster. “How this new cycle will start after Brazil obviously depends a lot on the outcome in Brazil,” Klinsmann said, “but the vision is, absolutely, that Landon continues his national team career.” A World Cup champion with West Germany and European champion with Germany, Klinsmann was hired in July 2011. Less than a week after the Americans were drawn in December into a difficult World Cup group with Ghana, Portugal and Germany, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced Klinsmann’s contract had been extended through 2018. He maintained the new deal didn’t make him think more toward the future when making his picks. “This is based on today. This is based on what hopefully goes well the next seven, eight weeks, so that had nothing to do with my contract or with the perspective that those young players have for the longer run,” he said. His roster includes 18-yearold winger Julian Green, who made his national team debut last month and has just six minutes of first-team experience with Bayern Munich; 21-year-old central defender Anthony Brooks, who has three international appearances; and 20-year-old right back DeAndre Yedlin, whose only national team appearances were as a second-half substitute this year. “Some have a learning curve ahead of them, there’s no doubt about it,” Klinsmann said. “But they are ready for that learning curve, and they might surprise some people out there.” Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 after a 40-year absence, the U.S. has alternated first-round elimination with advancement. The Americans open against Ghana, which knocked them out in the group stage in 2006 and the second round last time. “As of today I’m very strongly convinced this is the right way to go for it,” Klinsmann said. “Now time will tell. If I’m not getting the job done at the end of the day, you know the outcome of things in the soccer world.” LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — When California Chrome crosses the finish line in the Belmont Stakes next month, win or lose, his bid for a Triple Crown will be over and horse racing will begin its annual retreat from the mainstream. For once, that could come as a relief to the people who run Churchill Downs. Their biggest weeks of the year are the run up to and right after the Kentucky Derby, which California Chrome won back on May 3. But it’s been a rough stretch for the track’s image, the latest issue being the death of a horse Thursday in a fall on the track that her trainer immediately blamed on the sound system attached to Churchill’s vaunted new video board. Here’s a look at some of the public relations problems the sport’s most famous track has faced this spring: BIG BOARD, BIG COMPLAINTS The debut of the world’s biggest HD video screen — the “Big Board,” Churchill dubbed it — and its 750-speaker sound system were the track’s biggest bragging point going into Derby week. Towering 170 feet over the backstretch, the high-definition, $12 million video screen is bigger than three basketball courts, bigger than any single panel of the giant display hanging above the field at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Smitten by the close-up view of the action it gives those in the infield and the grandstand, many fans loved it right away. Some trainers and jockeys didn’t. The day before the Derby, jockey Rosie Napravnik called the speakers “overwhelming” minutes after she won the Kentucky Oaks aboard Untapable. Napravnik said it didn’t seem to affect her horse, however, and several trainers have said they haven’t had problems with the speakers. On Thursday, 5-year-old mare Never Tell Lynda was walking toward the paddock on the track when she reared, twisted and fell, hitting her head, said her trainer, Kenneth Wirth. The horse was startled by what Wirth thinks was the sound of a starting gate bell coming from a commercial on the video board. “We teach horses to break from that,” he said. “And you’ve got it on a loud speaker that everybody in a two-city block can hear. Well, what’s she going to do? She thinks she’s supposed to take off. And that’s what she did. And when she did, she lunged and she lost her balance and went down.” Track officials extended their condolences after the horse was euthanized, called the accident extremely rare and said they were still gathering the facts. Wirth said the sound system was “way too loud” at the time of the accident. “The only thing you can blame is the music,” Wirth said. “They’ve got to do something about it. … The horses are the main thing here.” BUMMER FOR BETTORS Weeks before the Derby, Churchill announced it would take a bigger cut of the money bettors place on its races. The decision came after Kentucky lawmakers rejected the racing industry’s latest effort to add slot machines to generate more cash to boost prize money for horse owners. Churchill spokesman John Asher said without the bigger cut, the track would have had to reduce the prize money for winners of spring races and some races would likely have been cut altogether. Horse players at the betting windows grumbled that Churchill, of all places, should have enough other means of revenue without having to pinch pennies from people who come to the track. RESPECT FOR THE PAST Days before the Derby, Churchill rushed into damage-control mode after Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte, who rode Secretariat to Triple Crown glory, declared he would skip seeing the Derby because track management had snubbed him. Turcotte, who is paralyzed, said he couldn’t get a parking spot during his last Derby Day visit, and then couldn’t even get into the track to watch last year’s race. The track said any perceived snub of Turotte was the result of a “communication breakdown.” Turcotte’s comments were posted on the website of a horse farm run by Rick Porter, who owned Eight Belles, the filly that was euthanized on the track after breaking both of her front legs following a second-place finish in the 2008 Derby. Porter had posted about his own difficulties in obtaining tickets to watch one of his horses race at Churchill Downs on Friday, and in getting Derby tickets last year for four World War II veterans who were part of the D-Day invasion. “What is wrong with this management group?” Porter wrote. “No wonder racing is on the decline.” RESPECT FOR THE PRESENT Steve Coburn, co-owner of this year’s Derby and Preakness winner, California Chrome, lashed out at Churchill after the Preakness, which is held at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. “Churchill Downs needs to call Maryland to get a lesson in hospitality,” Coburn said. “These people right here, they’ve treated us like royalty.” Co-owner Perry Martin didn’t make the trip to Pimlico, and Coburn was asked why. “The hospitality we received at Churchill Downs wasn’t very good,” Coburn said, so Martin decided not to make the trip to the next stop on the Triple Crown trail.

Fortunately, after a couple of days in the hospital, the child was back home and said to be on the road to recovery. Baseball may not be so lucky the next time. With fans closer to the action than ever before — and a proposed new stadium for the Atlanta Braves promising to bring them even closer — it’s time for major league officials to seriously consider some sort of extra protection for those in the seats, especially in the danger zones along the first- and third-base lines. Maybe that involves putting extra netting over the dugouts and even farther down the foul lines, similar to what was done behind the goals in hockey after a young fan was killed by a puck at a 2002 NHL game. Maybe that involves some restrictions on how old you have to be to sit in the riskiest seats, at least reducing the chance of a small child sustaining a serious injury, which happened just the other night at Turner Field. Of course, those suggestions would likely be met with plenty of resistance from the very fans who eagerly pay big bucks to sit as close to the field as possible, who would surely be perturbed if they had to watch the game through a screen or couldn’t bring their kids along. Two nights after that frightening incident in Atlanta, when that little boy was struck in the head during the Braves’ game against Milwaukee, Krista Clark and her family landed seats behind the Atlanta dugout. Clark wasn’t the least bit concerned. “Anything can happen anywhere we are, whether it’s a ballgame or anywhere else,” she said, while her 8-year-old daughter, Catherine, happily gobbled up a frozen treat in the next seat. “We just try to have fun but be cautious, pay attention to what’s going on around us.” Early in the game, a foul ball came in their direction. “My son and husband were trying to catch it. I ducked over her,” Clark said, smiling as she looked toward her daughter. “But I wouldn’t ever not come to a game or not bring them out of worry.” Nothing wrong with that, but MLB and its teams need to consider some common-sense arrangements to make fans safer. There may be some grumbling at first, but everyone will come around if the measures aren’t too intrusive. It’s never been riskier to go to a game, given the rise in pitchers who can throw 90 mph, which increases the speed of line drives rocketing into the stands. Then consider how fans get closer and closer to the action with every new baseball-specific stadium that opens, plus the wide range of activities inside the park and on their smartphones that can take their eyes off the ball, and you’ve got a potentially lethal combination. Chris Miranda, who runs a consulting firm that has worked with colleges on stadium safety, said it’s only a matter of time before there’s more protection in front of the stands at major league games. He only hopes it doesn’t take a tragedy like the one in Ohio to make it happen. Phil Masturzo | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo Cleveland Browns’ T.J. Ward returns a fumble for a third-quarter touchdown against the Chicago Bears at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. The Bears won, 38-31. Broncos’ Ward appears in court on misdemeanor DENVER (AP) — Broncos safety T.J. Ward appeared in court Friday on misdemeanor charges that he threw a glass mug at a bartender at a Denver strip club. Ward, 27, is charged with misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace in the May 10 incident at PT’s All Nude club. Court documents say Ward tossed the mug at the bartender at 2:40 a.m. after he was told he couldn’t bring a drink into the club. Bond was set at $1,900, and a court date was set for June 23, The Denver Post reported (http:// bit.ly/1kx8BoC ). Police had issued an arrest warrant for Ward on Thursday. Ward signed a four-year, $22.5 million deal with Denver this spring. He is coming off a Pro Bowl season in Cleveland. Under NFL rules, Ward could be fined for a misdemeanor offense, but a suspension is considered unlikely. Ward’s agent, Josh Arnold, couldn’t immediately be reached by phone for comment. Club video surveillance shows that Ward picked “up a glass mug that is sitting on the bar and tosses/throws the glass mug at her. The male then walks away,” the court documents said. Ward, who was also a secondteam All-Pro last season, is one of three marquee free agents the Broncos signed to add an edge to their defense following their 43-8 loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl. The others are pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware and cornerback Aqib Talib. “He’s a young, explosive strong safety who is going to bring a lot of energy and toughness to our secondary,” general manager John Elway said when he signed Ward on March 11 to a contract that guarantees the 27-year-old Oregon product $14 million. Ward projects as the Broncos’ strong safety with Rahim Moore returning at free safety. Ward can also line up as a weak-side linebacker in some of the Broncos’ specialty looks with six and seven defensive backs. ATTENTION: DENTURE SUFFERERS!

Call: 446.2342 or 992.2155 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — One Huntington entrepreneur’s work keeps her dancing with joy after she learned how to turn her passion into her business. Bridget Rowsey, owner of Bridget’s Dance Academy, grew what began as 20 students in an after-school program into a successful business with around 200 students of all ages. The West Virginia Small Business Administration recently recognized Rowsey’s business success and commitment to the economic development of her community by naming her its Young Entrepreneur of the Year. “This is a statewide award — it’s a huge honor,” Rowsey said. “I had the opportunity to move away, but I love Huntington, I love Marshall, and I wanted to stay here to contribute to the city that I grew up in.” Born and raised in Huntington, Rowsey’s passion for dance was kindled when she was at Huntington High School. She said once it hit, it was all she could see herself doing. Her fire continued throughout her time as a business major at Marshall University, where she balanced her studies with being a member of the university dance team. Continuing that balance, and her dedication to sharing her love of dance, Rowsey is now the coach of Marshall’s dance team. She has been teaching dance in Huntington for seven years, and has been busy developing her business for the past five years. Her academy, also known as BDA, expanded to its new location at 801 10th St. after it became apparent the business was growing too large for its previous location on First Street. Rowsey said the new location has been a blessing because it is now closer to Ritter Park and downtown Huntington. Rowsey said the move could not have been possible without the help of family and friends who did the renovations for BDA’s new studio. The new location has allowed Rowsey to expand her client base, offer more classes and, most recently, to sell branded merchandise. Both she and Amber Wilson, business coach and center manager for the West Virginia Small Business Development Center, said her move to the 10th Street location also benefited the economic development of Huntington because the building and lot sat empty for years after Blockbuster vacated it. Wilson nominated Rowsey for the young entrepreneur award. “Vacant buildings are bad for a city, and so Bridget’s taking this one over, renovating it is a great contribution to Huntington’s economic growth,” Wilson said. “I nominated her for young entrepreneur because she has had amazing growth in the last few years. I think it’s encouraging to other young entrepreneurs to see someone who took their passion and turned it into a viable business.” See AWARD | C4 �Sunday, May 25, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D BLONDIE Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee RHYMES WITH ORANGE Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane 5/24 1 6 5 9 2 3 4 7 8 4 8 2 5 1 7 3 6 9 7 3 9 4 6 8 1 2 5 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability 2 5 1 3 8 4 6 9 7 1-800-401-1670 8 9 6 7 5 1 2 3 4 Call Now and Ask How!

AP Photo BLUEFIELD, W.Va. — Church services are always special to the faithful, but the May 18 service at the Calvary Baptist Church on Highland Avenue was joyful while being a little sad for some of the congregation. After more than 100 years of meeting spiritual needs, the church was conducting its last service. The church’s congregation gradually dwindled to about a dozen members as its members grew older and children moved away to find work in other cities and even other states. Almost 50 people including former members of the congregation and former pastors joined in the early morning service to celebrate the church’s contributions to the community and to remember that a new chapter was opening in its history. “This is the final service for Calvary Baptist Church in Bluefield,” said Allan Thompson, director of missions for the Mountain State Baptist Association, who had been serving as the church’s interim pas- the pulpit where a loaf of bread shaped like a cross and cups of grape juice were waiting. Thompson said other churches were ready to welcome Calvary Baptist Church’s members. “You are not being abandoned,” he told the congregation. “You are not being set adrift.” Pastor Jim Milam of First Baptist Church in Bluewell recalled how students from neighboring Wade School came to church for classes after their facility caught fire. “God didn’t put this place here by accident,” he said. “God planned this from the beginning of the world, and He’s not done yet, He’s not done yet.” Pastor Gary Pennington of Calvary Baptist Church in War said serving at the Bluefield church, working with the deacons, and serving the congregation helped him “grow tremendously.” He recalled the story of Noah and the ark and how God’s work was preserved. Finally, Pastor Jim Davidson of Riverside Baptist Church in Bramwell recalled how his time with the church went back to the 1930s. “To see this event, to be part of it, is special. I walked down this aisle to receive Christ with my dad, I got baptized here, I got married right here. There are many, many memories of rededications, of people being saved.” For many members of the congregation, saying goodbye to the church was saddening. Thompson said later that the church’s facility and assets would be placed with the Mountain State Baptist Association. The hope is that a church ready to meet the needs of the immediate neighborhood could be established in the same location. “I grew up in this church,” said Chrissy Richardson, a former member of the congregation. “I grew up here on Highland Avenue. I was in this nursery. I got saved here by Jim Davidson in 1993, and then my son, Garrett, got baptized and saved here last year, and was the last one to be saved and baptized in this church. I live in North Carolina now. I visit my parents here. This church and West Virginia will always be my home.” Pop artist to make West Virginia visit By Mary Wade Burnside Associated Press CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — Michael Albert never attended art school, and he has a job as a businessman, but visiting art museums one day gave him an idea. “I knew, instead of spending time watching TV or wasting time, I could try to be productive and see if I could create a masterpiece,” said the White Plains, N.Y., resident during a telephone interview. “Every time I have a chance, when I don’t have to be doing something for my working life or family life, I spend it trying to make art with this dream, trying to create something that is truly great.” At first, Albert began drawing and doodling, but eventually, motivated by a desire to avoid throwing out everyday items such as cereal boxes, he began to cut them up and make pop art in the tradition of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. “I found out that a lot of things were perfectly great art materials that would otherwise have been thrown in the trash,” he said. One of his first pieces emerged when he cut up pieces of a Frosted Flakes box and rearranged them so the result was recognizable but still different than the original. “To me, that was my first official pop art work,” Albert said. “It’s something everybody knows. There is no American that doesn’t know what that is, whether you eat it or not. It’s so famous. And chopped up — it’s a simple idea — it’s a cool way to look at it. It’s like looking at something through a kaleidoscope.” Many of his pieces can be viewed on his website, www.michaelalbert.com. Even though Albert has a fulltime job as the owner of a juice company, he will be taking a couple of weeks off this summer to travel around to libraries teaching an art class to children and adults. He will be in this area on June 17 and 18 at the following times and places: 10 a.m. to noon June 17 at the Morgantown Public Library; 2 to 4 p.m. June 17 at the Taylor County Public Library in Grafton; 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 17 at the Gilmer Public Library in Glenville; 10 a.m. to noon June 18 at the Southern Area Library in Lost Creek and 2 to 4 p.m. June 18 at the Lowe Public Library in Shinnston. “He approached us,” said Mary Beth Stenger, director of the Southern Area Library. “We had won Best Small Library in America, and it was something he wanted to do with us to celebrate. We’re excited to have him. We’re hoping it will be a fun family event for all ages. We’ve had adults and children sign up for it.” The Best Small Library in America designation came courtesy of the Library Journal, a trade publication for librarians, as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Albert already taught the class at the Lowe Public Library two years ago, said director Deborah Starkey. “We have cereal boxes, and they bring anything of that nature and they make a picture,” Starkey said. “The kids love it. They all go home with something. They have a good hour and a half.” Pop art emerged in the mid20th century as a form of art that took items from popular culture and put them in a different context. Perhaps the best-known pop artist was Pittsburgh native Warhol, who was famous for his paintings of Campbell’s soup cans. While Warhol used soup cans, cereal boxes have been Albert’s muse. He calls this type of work “cerealism.” “I found these things are so etched into our minds,” he added. “Even if they are chopped up into million pieces, we can instantly recognize them, so there is a message there about branding.” Another tactic Albert has used is to cut out letters from a variety of sources and reassemble them to spell something out, such as Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. “That was my first collage of a historical nature,” Albert said. “I thought it was interesting to combine sugary consumerism and working on a subject as important and historical as the Gettysburg Address. That juxtaposition was interesting to me. It was a serious subject made with materials that people don’t think of as serious.” Other art pieces he has completed using letters feature inspirational quotes, as well as passages by Shakespeare. He also makes landscapes out of cut-up items, but he prefers to call them “brandscapes.” A native of Long Island, New York, Albert began doing programs at libraries he can reach within 12 to 14 hours of his home about six years ago. “As you know, in a lot of towns, people don’t get out to a big city very often, so in order to interact with them have to go there, to the town library,” he said. “To me, it’s a great honor to share art and my story and projects with people.” He also likes the free services that libraries offer, noting that because he uses found objects for his art, his pieces also are very inexpensive to make. “I’ve created a body of work out of garbage,” he said. “It doesn’t make it less of masterpiece because it’s cereal boxes. There shouldn’t be a barrier in art related to money. The barrier is related to effort.” Besides, he noted, Vincent Van Gogh never made any money off his art while he was alive, so judging art and assessing its value can be tricky. “I realized somebody like Vincent Van Gogh was never able to make money on art in his lifetime,” Albert said. “A hundred years later, everything he created is in a museum or in a collection. An artist’s job is to create great art. Only time will tell what is great art.” Democrat Nunn calls for VA secretary to resign Bridget Rowsey, owner of Bridget's Dance Academy, at her studio in Huntington, W.Va.

Award tor. “This is not a death today. This is not a funeral. This is a transition.” The opening hymn was “The Church’s One Foundation,” followed with the pastoral prayer and the hymn “Rock of Ages.” James Richardson, who started coming to Sunday school in 1943 when he was 8 years old, and was saved there in 1947, spoke of his life with the church. “I can’t stop serving the Lord,” he said from the pulpit. “I’m glad all of you came to celebrate Calvary Baptist Church. I was in third grade here and my teacher was Miss Altizer.” Richardson said his three daughters and son were also saved at the church. Calvary Baptist Church had been an important part of the community and of his life. “I love my church and all the many people the Lord has put in my life. I thank God for my life and my family. I can’t ask no more. I pray for the resurrection of Calvary Baptist Church, not just Calvary in Bluefield, but all churches.” In the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper, three former pastors came to “It has become increasingly clear that we need new leadership to build confidence, focus and accountability at the VA to fix what is wrong with the agency,” said Michelle Nunn. “I hope that Gen. Shinseki will step aside to allow for fresh leadership to tackle these pressing issues and support the veterans that the general is deeply committed to serving.” And the number of sitting politicians and challengers calling for Shinseki’s resignation continues to grow as the VA investigates 26 facilities nationwide over allegations of treatment delays and deaths. Also Friday, one of the Democrats’ most vulnerable incumbents, Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., added his name to the list, saying “by stepping aside, Secretary Shinseki will help to restore the trust our veterans must have in the VA and will demonstrate a commitment by this administration to address the system’s serious shortcomings.” A day earlier, Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky also called for new leadership, saying: “I don’t see how that breach of trust with our veterans can be repaired if the current leadership stays in place.” Georgia and Kentucky are key battlegrounds in the upcoming midterm elections, as Democrats see Nunn and Grimes as their best opportunities to thwart efforts by Republicans seeking a majority in the Senate. Grimes is challenging Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and the GOP needs just six more seats to take control of the chamber. Earlier this week McConnell said problems at the VA were “a management problem, not a money problem.” Both Grimes and Nunn have kept their distance from President Barack Obama as they look to woo moderate voters in their states. Just recently, both candidates refused to say whether they would have voted for the federal health care law, Obama’s signature legislative achievement. And Republicans quickly sought to portray Nunn’s statement on Shinseki as a reversal, noting she had said in a May 11 debate that she would “defer to the president’s judgment” when asked whether Shinseki should resign. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
