Council discusses water/sewer increases
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

MIDDLEPORT — A change
in an ordinance, which calls for
an automatic annual increase in
the water/sewer basic rate of $3 a
month for village residents, was
discussed at length at Monday
night’s meeting of Middleport
Village Council.
Councilman Roger Manley expressed his objection to the “automatic” increase and suggested
that rates be reviewed every
year. Then if the increase is determined to be needed, it can be

made on the basis of that need.
He said that with the automatic
increase, there is a lack of opportunity for public input and went
on to suggest that “maybe the village needs to tighten their belt.”
At first, Manley suggested
that the current ordinance be
repealed and then later into the
discussion proposed that it be
reviewed by the ordinance committee and then be brought back
to Council with changes. The ordinance committee is composed
of Manley, Rae Moore, Emerson
Heighton and Craig Wehrung.
The initial ordinance was en-

acted in 2008 as a measure to
“ensure sound fiscal management and the future operations
of the Public Works Department.
At that time, it was decided that
the automatic annual rate increase would be in the best interest of the Public Works Department.
In his discussion at council,
Manley also called for “better
control of finances” and more
conservation in the way the village handles money.
Mike Henderickson, village
building inspector, proposed
some changes regarding inspec-

tion of properties. He proposed
that in the case of a violation
where a re-inspection is required, that there be a charge of
$15. He also proposed that there
be a new tenant charge of $25 for
the purpose of keeping track of
who is living in what property
and also as a way of identification for times when owners to be
alerted as to destruction or activity taking place there. Hendrickson noted that other villages, including Pomeroy, have a tenant
charge.
Mayor Mike Gerlach reported
that Middleport police officers,

Joel Lynch and Leslie Lynch,
have resigned their positions to
accept other employment and
will be moving from the area. As
for the jail operation, the booking
fee of $1 coming in and $1 going
out was discussed as was the
handling of money taken when
prisoners are checked into the
jail. That money is only managed
by the police department for use
in buying things like snack packs
and then is returned to the prisoner when released.

Carmen’s Creations on exhibit
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — Carmen Schultz’s artistic creations in pottery
and paintings will be on exhibit
at the Athens Public Library on
Home Street in Athens from Feb.
6 to 28.
Schultz , who lives near Chester, has been working in clay as a
hobby since 2001 and exhibiting
her pottery at local arts and craft
fairs.
She remains fascinating with

the process of making pottery and
says each time she opens a kiln
she is amazed how something so
beautiful can come from a clump
of mud.
The painting came as an extension of her pottery work. She took
a few painting lessons and got
together weekly with friends who
painted and watched their process
of creating art. Wanting to learn
more, she enrolled in an impressionist painting class to gain the
skill of how to pop more color
and movement into her paint-

ings. The result of that class was
about detail and the use of color,
and taught her how to to omit
some things and mute others, to
even rearrange elements to create
a composition that viewers might
like.
She said that she has the same
joy in a completed painting, as she
has when taking that clump of clay
turned pottery from the kiln.
A reception for Carman will be
held at the Athens Public Library
on Thursday, Feb. 7 from 5:30 to 7
p.m. at the Library.

POMEROY — The trial for alleged gas station robbery
accomplice Marcy Craig has been continued, again.
The trial was scheduled to begin on Tuesday morning,
but instead council for the state and defendant agreed to
continue the trial due to the death of the defendant’s father.
Judge I. Carson Crow — who has recused himself from
the case — heard motions made by the defense after
counsel for the state, Colleen Williams, agreed to waive
any conflict for the purpose of the hearing.
Crow accepted the waiver of speedy trial filed by defense council William Eachus and signed by Craig.
Also granted was a motion for temporary release to allow Craig to attend services for her late father. She will
be required to wear an ankle monitor while out of jail and
will be required to return to the jail following the services.
Craig, 37, of Long Bottom, was charge with three
counts of aggravated robbery of allegedly serving as an
accomplice to her brother, Alex Craig, in three armed robberies in March and April 2012.
The three counts of aggravated robbery alleged against
the defendant occurred on March 30 at the TNT Pitstop
in Syracuse, April 2 at the TNT Pitstop in Chester, and
April 10 at the 124 Mart near Pomeroy.
Alex Craig plead guilty to three counts of aggravated
robbery in August, and was sentenced in late November
to 30 years in prison for his role in the crimes.
A new trial date for Marcy Craig has not been set as a
judge will need to be appointed to hear the case.
Judge Dale Crawford had been scheduled to preside
over the trail this week, but according to a court official is
unavailable in the coming weeks. It is unclear if Crawford
or another judge will be appointed to the case and at what
time the appointment will be made.

Pomeroy Council refers several issues to committee
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — Members of
Pomeroy Council discussed several matters during Monday’s
council meeting, referring them
on to committees for further consideration.
Mayor Mary McAngus suggested that the village charge a
fee to vendors during parking lot
events to help the village cover
the cost of the water and electric
used. She also suggested a docking fee for boats.

While some members of council agreed that a fee maybe appropriate for vendors, council
appeared to be to be against a
fee for docking boats.
Council member Phil Ohlinger asked that the matter
be addressed by the parks and
recreation committee. The committee, which is made up of Ohlinger, Jackie Welker and Robert
Payne, is to meet at a date to be
announced later.
Village Administrator Paul
Hellman asked council for approval for uniforms for employ-

ees of Pomeroy Public Works.
Council referred the matter to
the finance committee.
The purchase of a new computer for the water department
was also referred to the finance
committee.
Ordinance 759 to approve temporary appropriations for 2013
were approved by a 4-1 votes,
with Payne voting no. Payne
stated that matters of the budget

committee and administrators
prior to approval by council.
Resolution 1.13 stated “be it

resolved by the Pomeroy Village
Council to establish the 2013 annual appropriations at the legal
level of control passed by the legislative authority of the local government.” The resolution passed
4-1, with Payne voting no. Payne
stated that matters of the budget
should go through the finance
committee and administrators
prior to approval by council.
Council accepted the resignation of Sgt. Brandy King from
the Pomeroy Police Department
effective Jan. 31.
The purchase of tires for po-

lice cruiser 14 was approved up
to $400, and alignments were approved for two cruisers.

all the information they need to
successfully fight the abuse of these
drugs,” said DeWine. “Synthetic
drugs are just as dangerous as heroin or cocaine, but they’re disguised
in packaging that we wouldn’t normally associate with something so
deadly.”

Report: States force jobless to pay needless fees
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Jobless Americans are
paying millions in unnecessary fees to collect unemployment benefits because
of state policies encouraging them to get the money
through bank-issued payment cards, according to
a new report from a consumer group.
People are using the feeheavy cards instead of getting their payments deposited directly to their bank
accounts. That’s because
states issue bank cards automatically, require complicated paperwork or phone
calls to set up direct deposit and fail to explain the
card fees, according to a re-

port issued Tuesday by the
National Consumer Law
Center, a nonprofit group
that seeks to protect lowincome Americans from
unfair
financial-services
products. An early copy of
the report was obtained by
The Associated Press.
Until the past decade,
states distributed unemployment compensation by
mailing out paper checks.
Some also allowed direct deposit. The system
worked well for people
who had bank accounts
and could deposit the
check without paying a fee.
It also cost states millions of dollars each year to
print and mail the checks.

Banks including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., U.S. Bancorp and Bank of America
Corp. seized on government payments as a business opportunity. They
pitched card programs to
states as a win-win: States
would save millions in
overhead costs because the
cards would be issued for
free. And people without
bank accounts would avoid
the big fees charged by
storefront check cashers.
However, most of the
people being hit with fees
already have bank accounts. The bank-state
partnerships
effectively
shifted the cost of distributing payments from gov-

ernments to individuals.
The money needed to cover those costs is deducted
from people’s unemployment benefits in the form
of fees.
Consumer
advocates
like NCLC are focused on
ensuring access to the direct-deposit option so that
people can avoid the card
fees.
The trouble, the new
report says, is that many
states make it difficult for
people to sign up for direct
deposit. The rate of people
using direct deposit ranges
from a national high of 82
percent in Minnesota to a
low of 16 percent in Arizona, the report says.

Teaching sportsmanship
LaHood leaves, another
with board games
Dear M.L.: You definitely should speak up and
say something if this kind
of behavior happens again.
By staying silent, you are
giving tacit approval to
this boy’s use of this inappropriate language, and
you definitely don’t want
your son learning that.
The tone of your conversation is the most important
thing to get right when
you handle this situation.
You don’t want to seem
embarrassed or defensive,
but rather supportive and
understanding. Don’t place
blame or try to punish the
child; rather, explain that
you don’t use that type of
language in your house,
and explain the reason
why.
If your son is the target
of his friend’s derogatory
language, position yourself
as the mediator to allow
the two of them to work
it out themselves. You
want to protect your son
but also help him learn to
stick up for himself. With
your help, he can learn to
explain why some words
and phrases are hurtful,
and that it is OK to ask
people to respect his feelings. Again, the tone of
this conversation is important, and you don’t want
to be accusatory or overprotective, especially when
dealing with another child.
Realize that your son will
have to face these types
of conversations and situations sooner or later in life,
and will continue to learn
from the way you handle
the situation.

Obama launches push
for immigration overhaul
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack
Obama is hailing bipartisan Senate efforts to
overhaul the nation’s patchwork immigration
laws, welcoming “a genuine desire” to tackle
an issue that has been stalled for years.
At a campaign-style rally scheduled
Tuesday in Las Vegas, Obama also will seek
to rally public support behind his own immigration principles. The president’s proposals largely mirror plans released a day
earlier by eight senators, four Democrats
and four Republicans.
“The good news is that, for the first time
in many years, Republicans and Democrats
seem ready to tackle this problem together,”
Obama said in excerpts of his talk released in
advance of the Nevada outing. “It looks like
there’s a genuine desire to get this done soon.
And that’s very encouraging,” he said.
A central tenet of the proposals from the
White House and the Senate group is a pathway to citizenship for most of the 11 million
people already in the U.S. illegally. Immigration advocates said they expected the president’s proposals to be more progressive than
those featured in the Senate plan, including a
faster pathway to citizenship.
The simultaneous immigration initiatives were spurred by the November presidential election, in which Obama won an
overwhelming majority of Hispanic voters. The results also forced new thinking
among Republicans who previously had opposed immigration change. Now a host of
GOP lawmakers is reconsidering the party’s stance on the issue in order to rebuild
its reputation among Hispanics, an increasingly powerful political force in America.
Most of the recommendations Obama
will make Tuesday are not new. He outlined an immigration blueprint in May
2011 but exerted little political capital to
get it passed by Congress, to the disappointment of many Hispanics.
Obama “will certainly note today the promising signs we’ve seen in Congress, most specifically the bipartisan principles put together
by the group of senators that mirror his own
principles,” White House spokesman Jay
Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One
en route to Nevada. “That is cause for hope.
And what you’ll hear from the president today is how we need to take these initial positive steps and continue to move forward so
that actual legislation is produced.”
The president was making his pitch in Nevada, a political battleground he carried in
November, in large part because of support
from Hispanics in the state.
Nationally, Obama won 71 percent of the
Hispanic vote, giving him a key advantage
over Republican rival Mitt Romney.
Administration officials said the president
would bolster his 2011 immigration blueprint
with some fresh details. His original plan centered on four key areas: a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in
the U.S., improved border security, an overhaul of the legal immigration system, and an
easier process for businesses to verify the legal status of workers.
Administration officials said they were encouraged to see the Senate backing the same
broad principles. In part because of the fast
action on Capitol Hill, Obama does not currently plan to send lawmakers formal immigration legislation.

However, officials said the White House
does have legislation drafted and could fall
back on it should the Senate process stall.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal strategy.
Carney said the president believes the
package also should include recognition of
gay couples where one partner is American
and another is not.
“The president has long believed that
Americans with same-sex partners from
other countries should not be faced with the
painful choice between staying with the person they love or staying in the country they
love,” Carney said.
Sen. John McCain called that issue a
“red flag” in an interview Tuesday on
“CBS This Morning.”
The Arizona Republican also said he
didn’t think that it was of “paramount importance at this time.”
“We’ll have to look at it,” McCain said. But
he added that the highest priority is finding
a “broad consensus” behind the immigration bill already being planned. He said the
country must do something about 11 million
people “living in the shadows.”
Obama’s previous proposals for creating a
pathway to citizenship required those already
in the U.S. illegally to register with the government and submit to security checks; pay
registration fees, a series of fines and back
taxes; and learn English. After eight years,
individuals would be allowed to become legal
permanent residents and could eventually become citizens five years later.
The Senate group’s pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
would be contingent upon securing the border and improving tracking of people in the
U.S. on visas. Linking citizenship to border
security could become a sticking point between the White House and lawmakers.
The Senate framework would also require
those here illegally to pass background checks
and pay fines and taxes in order to qualify for
a “probationary legal status” that would allow
them to live and work here — but not qualify
for federal benefits — before being able to
apply for permanent residency, a critical step
toward citizenship. Once they are allowed to
apply they would do so behind everyone else
already waiting for a green card within the
current immigration system.
Passage of legislation by the full Democratic-controlled Senate is far from assured, but the tallest hurdle could come
in the House, which is dominated by conservative Republicans who’ve shown little
interest in immigration reform.
The senators involved in formulating the
immigration proposals, in addition to McCain, are Democrats Charles Schumer of
New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert
Menendez of New Jersey and Michael Bennet of Colorado; and Republicans Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina, Marco Rubio of
Florida and Jeff Flake of Arizona.
Several of these lawmakers have worked
for years on the issue. McCain collaborated with the late Democratic Sen. Edward
M. Kennedy on comprehensive immigration legislation pushed by then-President
George W. Bush in 2007, only to see it
collapse in the Senate when it couldn’t get
enough GOP support.

vacancy in Obama Cabinet
WASHINGTON (AP) — Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who
lifted the profile of distracted driving as a national safety concern, is
stepping down, presenting President
Barack Obama with another Cabinet
vacancy at the start of his second
term.
The former congressman from Illinois and one of only two Republicans
who served in Obama’s Cabinet, LaHood worked for more safety in the
air and on the ground and pushed for
improvements of roads and bridges.
Under his watch, the department
demanded tougher fuel efficiency requirements for automakers and took
steps to address airline pilot fatigue.
Obama, who at one point served
with LaHood in the Illinois congressional delegation, said they were
“drawn together by a shared belief
that those of us in public service owe
an allegiance not to party or faction,
but to the people we were elected to
represent. And Ray has never wavered
in that belief.”
LaHood, 67, said in an interview
with The Associated Press that he
told Obama a week after the November election that he needed to move
on. But he also said he was still “conflicted” by his decision because he
liked working for the president and
considered it the “best job I’ve ever
had in public service.”
He said he plans to remain at the
department until his successor is
confirmed by the Senate, which he expects in about two months. The only
other Republican who was in Obama’s
first-term Cabinet was Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who stepped aside
and was replaced by Democrat Leon
Panetta earlier.
LaHood, who once considered
likely to run for governor in his home
state, said he would not seek public office and indicated he didn’t have any
specific plans.
“I have had a good run. I’m one of
these people who believe that you
should go out while they’re applauding,” he said. LaHood said he was content to watch from the sidelines as his
oldest son, Darin, serves in the Illinois
state senate.
His move continues an exodus that
will give Obama’s team a new look in
his second term. Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Panetta and
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are departing and in addition to
LaHood, the heads of the Interior
and Labor departments also have announced their resignations. Obama
has nominated former Nebraska Sen.
Chuck Hagel, a Republican, to serve
as defense secretary to succeed Panetta.
Possible replacements for LaHood
include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio

Villaraigosa, who has pushed for increased rail service in Los Angeles
and served as chairman of last year’s
Democratic National Convention, and
Debbie Hersman, the chairman of the
National Transportation Safety Board.
The name of former Rep. Jim Oberstar of Minnesota, who led the House
Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, has also been mentioned.
LaHood served seven terms in Congress representing a central Illinois
district that includes his hometown
of Peoria, Ill., before he was chosen
by Obama for the post. He traveled
widely, visiting 49 states, 210 cities
and 18 countries promoting Obama’s
agenda. He made trips that allowed
him to ride some of the world’s fastest
trains and inspect the latest vehicles
at auto shows.
In Washington, he would occasionally don a bicycle helmet and pedal
around the District to promote bike
lanes.
At the start of the new administration, LaHood spearheaded efforts to
stimulate the economy through transportation construction projects and
promoted the administration’s vision
of a nation connected by high-speed
trains. But the high-speed rail program, which was supposed to be one
of the president’s signature projects,
has been on life-support since Republicans regained control of the House
in the 2010 election.
The department struggled with
how to pay for the repair and improvement of the nation’s aging transportation network and eventually reached a
compromise with Congress last year
on a more limited, scaled-back 2-year
plan that gives states more flexibility
in how they spend federal money.
Perhaps LaHood’s most passionate work involved distracted driving,
which he called a “national epidemic.”
He launched a national media campaign to end texting and cellphone use
by drivers, an awareness campaign
that drew comparisons to efforts to
promote seat belt use more than a
generation ago. He buttonholed auto
executives to help reduce driver distraction and would even yell at other
drivers on occasion to put down their
cellphones.
“Every time someone takes their focus off the road — even if it’s just for
a moment — they put their lives and
the lives of others in danger,” he said
in 2010.
During his tenure he slapped Toyota Motor Co. with record fines for
delaying safety recalls and failing to
promptly report problems to federal
regulators. And he recently ordered
United Airlines to ground its Boeing
787 Dreamliner following mishaps
with the aircraft’s batteries.

Judge OKs $4B BP oil
spill criminal settlement
NEW ORLEANS (AP)
— A federal judge on Tuesday approved an agreement for BP PLC to plead
guilty to manslaughter and
other charges and pay a record $4 billion in criminal
penalties for the company’s
role in the 2010 oil disaster
in the Gulf of Mexico.
Before she ruled, U.S.
District Judge Sarah Vance
heard testimony from relatives of 11 workers who
died when BP’s blown-out
Macondo well triggered
an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig
and started the spill.
BP agreed in November
to plead guilty to charges involving the workers’ deaths

and for lying to Congress
about the size of the spill
from its broken well, which
spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil. Much of
it ended up in the Gulf and
soiled the shorelines of several states. The company
could have withdrawn from
the agreement if Vance had
rejected it.
Neither the Justice
Department nor BP presented arguments to the
judge before her decision
in New Orleans.
Vance said the plea deal
was “just punishment” considering the risks of litigation
for BP and the alternatives
to the settlement. She told
victims’ relatives who were

in court that she read their
“truly gut-wrenching” written statements and factored
their words into her decision.
“I’ve heard and I truly
understand your feelings
and the losses you suffered,” she said.
She said she also believes
BP executives should have
personally apologized to
family members.
“I think BP should have
done that out of basic humanity,” she said.
The deal doesn’t resolve
the federal government’s
civil claims against BP.
The company could pay
billions more in penalties
for environmental damage.

US economy gets lift from Money fears vs. real
benefits in Medicaid choice
housing, other tailwinds
Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
The Associated Press

Christopher S. Rugaber
AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The
U.S. economy is a study in
contrasts.
The housing, banking
and auto industries are surging back to health and that
has helped push the stock
market to a five-year peak.
Higher prices for homes and
stocks tend to make people
feel wealthier and spend
more.
Yet unemployment remains high and hiring modest. The end of a Social Security tax cut is shrinking
already flat pay. Federal budget fights have put businesses and consumers on edge.
Balanced between those
tailwinds and headwinds,
the economy is struggling
to accelerate. By the end of
this year, though, many analysts think the tailwinds will
succeed in boosting growth
and fueling a more robust
economy in 2014.
“There is some underlying momentum,” says Paul
Edelstein, U.S. economist at
IHS Global Insight. “It’s not
as strong as we would like,
but it’s there and it’s building.”
Uncertainty about government spending cuts could be
defused by summer, and any
spending cuts that do take
effect will likely be phased
in over several years. Also,
for the first time since the
recession ended 3½ years
ago, several key areas of
the economy are simultaneously driving growth, which
means the strength is more
broadly based:
— HOUSING
The nation has finally
worked off the excesses of
the housing bubble. Once
there were too many homes
for sale; now, there are too
few to meet demand. That
is pushing up home prices,
construction and hiring —
trends that could accelerate
U.S. economic growth in
2013 by a full percentage
point, economists say.
Home prices rose 7.4 percent in the 12 months that
ended in November, according to CoreLogic. It was the

largest 12-month gain in six
years.
Housing starts will reach
970,000 this year, according to Patrick Newport,
an economist at IHS, a 24
percent jump from 2012.
That’s far above the 554,000
homes started in 2009 after
the housing bust, though
still below the roughly 1.5
million associated with a
healthy market.
Construction companies
will add 140,000 jobs this
year, Newport forecasts,
up from a scant 18,000 last
year.
— AUTOS
Struggling consumers put
off car purchases for years.
Now, pent-up demand is being released: Sales reached
a 5-year high of 14.5 million
last year. Analysts expect
sales to reach 15.5 million
this year, though still short
of the recent peak of around
17 million in 2005.
Production and hiring at
automakers and their suppliers are increasing as a
result. The auto industry
added 52,000 jobs last year,
the third annual gain after a
decade of declines.
— BANKING
The financial crisis hammered banks and choked
off loans to businesses and
consumers. But lending has
been rebounding.
Mortgage and auto loans
are rising. Commercial and
industrial loans rose 2.2
percent in the July-September quarter from the same
period a year earlier. Bank
profits reached their highest level in six years that
same quarter, according to
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Bank of America boosted the value of its
mortgage loans 33 percent
in the October-December
quarter compared with a
year earlier.
— STOCK MARKET
The Standard and Poor’s
500 stock index has more
than doubled from its low
in 2009 and is just 4 percent
shy of its record high set in
2007.
The S&amp;P index has
jumped 5.4 percent this
month in response to

healthy news on housing
and corporate profits. The
sidestepping of the fiscal
cliff at the start of the year
helped, too. Higher stock
prices are boosting Americans’ wealth, providing
more fuel for spending and
growth.
Stocks are getting a lift
from Main Street investors
for a change. In a reverse
from their behavior for most
of the past five years, small
investors are buying more
stocks instead of selling
them. Investors put nearly
$13 billion into U.S. stock
mutual funds in the first two
weeks of 2013, according to
the Investment Company

funds.
In another sign of rising
confidence, investors are
shifting out of ultra-safe
investments such as U.S.
Treasurys. The interest

bond topped 2 percent on
Monday for the first time
since April. Bond yields
rise when their prices fall.
___
In the short term, the
economy’s headwinds are
still restraining growth.
They include:
— BUDGET FIGHTS
The heaviest millstone
weighing down the economy is the rift between President Barack Obama and
Republicans over taxes and
spending.
Further talks are expected
this spring as several deadlines arrive: Across-theboard spending cuts are set
to kick in March 1. Financing to run the government
will expire by March 27,
raising the threat of a government shutdown. And the
federal borrowing cap must
be raised by May 18 or the
government could default
on its debt.
Haziness around future tax and budget policy
may already be restraining
growth. A report from the
Federal Reserve last week
suggested that some employers delayed hiring late
last year because of uncertainty over the fiscal cliff.

WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama thinks his health care law makes
states an offer they can’t refuse.
Whether to expand Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor and disabled, could be the most important decision facing governors and legislatures
this year. The repercussions go beyond
their budgets, directly affecting the wellbeing of residents and the finances of
critical hospitals.
Here’s the offer:
If states expand their Medicaid programs to cover millions of low-income
people now left out, the federal government will pick up the full cost for the first
three years and 90 percent over the long
haul.
About 21 million uninsured people,
most of them adults, eventually would
gain health coverage if all the states
agree.
Adding up the Medicaid costs under
the law, less than $100 billion in state
spending could trigger nearly $1 trillion
in federal dollars over a decade, according to the nonpartisan Urban Institute.
“It’s the biggest expansion of Medicaid
in a long time, and the biggest ever in
terms of adults covered,” said Mark McClellan, who ran Medicare and Medicaid
when George W. Bush was president.
“Although the federal government is
on the hook for most of the cost, Medicaid on the whole is one of the biggest
items in state budgets and the fastest
growing. So there are some understandable concerns about the financial implications and how implementation would
work,” McClellan said.
A major worry for states is that deficitburdened Washington sooner or later
will renege on the 90-percent deal. The
regular Medicaid match rate averages
closer to 50 percent. That would represent a significant cost shift to the states.
Many Republicans also are unwilling to
keep expanding government programs,
particularly one as complicated as Medicaid, which has a reputation for being
inefficient and unwieldy.
Awaiting decisions are people such as
Debra Walker of Houston, a part-time
home health care provider. She had a
good job with health insurance until she
got laid off in 2007.
Walker was recently diagnosed with
diabetes, and she’s trying to manage by
getting discounted medications through
a county program for low-income uninsured people.
Walker estimates she earned about
$10,000 last year, which means she
would qualify under the income cutoff for
the Medicaid expansion. But that could
happen only if Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas,
reconsiders his opposition.
“I think that would be awesome if the

Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.

governor would allow that program to
come into the state,” Walker said. “That
would be a help for me, robbing Paul to
pay Peter for my medicines.”
She seems determined to deal with her
diabetes problem. “I don’t want to lose a
limb later on in life,” said Walker, 58. “I
want to beat this. I don’t want to carry
this around forever.”
As Obama’s law was originally written,
low-income people such as Walker would
not have had to worry or wait. Roughly
half the uninsured people gaining coverage under the law were expected to go
into Medicaid. The middle-class uninsured would get taxpayer-subsidized private coverage in new insurance markets
called exchanges.
But last year the Supreme Court gave
states the right to opt out of the Medicaid expansion. The court upheld the rest
of the law, including insurance exchanges
and a mandate that virtually everyone in
the United States have health coverage, or
face a fine.
The health care law will go into full effect next Jan. 1, and states are scrambling
to crunch the numbers and understand
the Medicaid trade-offs.
States can refuse the expansion outright
or indefinitely postpone a decision. But if
states think they’ll ultimately end up taking the deal, there’s a big incentive to act
now: The three years of full federal funding for newly eligible enrollees are only
available from 2014 through 2016.
So far, 17 states and the District of
Columbia have said they’ll take it. That
group includes three Republican-led
states, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer was prominent
among GOP leaders who had tried get the
law overturned.
An additional 11 states, all led by Republicans, say they want no part of it.
Perry says it tramples states’ rights.
The remaining states are considering
options.
In some cases, GOP governors are trying to persuade balky legislatures led by
Republicans. Hospitals treating the uninsured are pressing for the expansion, as
are advocates for the poor and some chambers of commerce, which see an economic
multiplier from the infusion of federal dollars. Conservative foes of “Obamacare,”
defeated at the national level, want to hold
the line.
The entire debate is overshadowed by
some big misconceptions, including that
the poor already have Medicaid.
Many of them do, but not all. Medicaid
generally covers low-income disabled people, children, pregnant women and some
parents. Childless adults are left out in
most states.
The other misconception is that Medicaid is so skimpy that people are better off
being uninsured.
Two recent studies debunked that.

Ohio lawmakers question wait for vets’ benefits
CINCINNATI (AP) — Members of Ohio’s congressional delegation have sent a letter to the
Department of Veterans Affairs
saying military veterans are waiting too long for responses to their
disability claims and urging the
department to act quickly to resolve the backlog.
Fifteen of the state’s members
of Congress, including Democrats
and Republicans, sent the letter
Monday to Veterans Administration Secretary Eric Shinseki, describing the lengthy backlog as
“unacceptable.”
“In our state of Ohio, some
veterans have had to wait up to
nearly a year for their claims to
be processed,” the letter states.

The delegation also wrote that
“our veterans deserve better and
more efficient service” from the
department.
The VA said Tuesday that the
total number of disability compensation claims pending before
the Veterans Benefits Administration as of Monday was about
867,000.
Lawmakers in both parties
agreed last fall to come up with
more money to help the VA reduce its disability claims backlog,
and the letter points out that the
recently passed National Defense
Authorization Act requires the
VA to provide Congress with a report on its plan for that reduction.
U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, a Cin-

cinnati Republican who signed
the letter, said Tuesday that the
delegation is looking forward to
the report, but it wants action to
reduce the backlog as quickly as
possible.
“These men and women who
have worn the uniform of our
country and often have put their
lives on the line deserve to be
treated better than they currently
are by the VA,” Chabot said.
VA spokeswoman Meagan Lutz
said the agency received the letter
and will respond to the concerns.
In an emailed statement, the VA
said it had successfully installed
a new digital, paperless system to
speed the processing of claims in
18 regional offices by the end of

last year and expects to install the
system in all 56 regional offices
by the end of 2013.
“We recognize that too many
veterans are waiting too long to
get the benefits they have earned
and deserve,” the statement said,
adding that fixing a decades-old
problem isn’t easy.
The VA had said in a statement
earlier this month that it completed a record-breaking 1 million
claims per year the last three fiscal years, but that ending reliance
on the paper system was critical
to timely and accurate claims processing.
While Chabot said that the
digital paperless system is encouraging, “let’s not make that an

excuse to delay folks currently.”
He said his office has received
numerous calls and letters from
veterans frustrated with the slowness of the current claims process.
The most recent VA figures,
updated in November 2012, show
Ohio veterans waiting an average
of 330 days — 58 days longer
than the national average of 272
days for disability compensation,
according to Lutz.
“I understand the challenges
that the VA faces,” Chabot said.
He said that the VA is a very
large organization “that for the
most part works very hard, but it
is a bureaucracy and sometimes
they need to improve.”

Senate panel approves Kerry nomination
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee on
Tuesday swiftly and unanimously approved President
Barack Obama’s choice of
Sen. John Kerry to succeed
Hillary Rodham Clinton as
secretary of state.
By voice vote, the panel
approved the nomination
of the five-term Massachusetts Democrat, who
has been a member of the
committee for 28 years and
led it for the past four. The
full Senate planned to vote
Tuesday afternoon.
Kerry did not attend the
session in the ornate diplomatic room in the Capitol.
In his absence, Democrats
and Republicans praised
him and remarked on his
extensive grasp of the issues during his confirmation hearing last Thursday.
“Long-winded,” joked
Sen. John McCain, RAriz., a Kerry friend who
had introduced the senator
at that hearing.

Sen. Bob Menendez, DN.J., who succeeds Kerry
as committee chairman,
said the senator would be
a “formidable secretary of
state.”
Obama chose Kerry,
69, the son of a diplomat,
decorated Vietnam veteran
and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after four years.
The senator had pined
for the top diplomatic job
that went to Clinton after
Obama’s 2008 election.
Kerry has served as
Obama’s unofficial envoy,
soothing relations with
leaders in Afghanistan and
Pakistan.
The ease with which the
Senate is acting on Kerry’s
nomination is certain to
disappear with Obama’s
two other national security nominees — former
Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Republican nominated for
defense secretary, and
John Brennan, Obama’s

pick for CIA director.
Hagel faces strong opposition from some of his former GOP colleagues who
question his support for
reductions in the nuclear
arsenal and cuts in defense
spending. Lawmakers also
have questioned whether
he is sufficiently supportive of Israel and strongly
opposed to any outreach
to Iran.
Democrats have rallied
for Hagel, and he has the
announced support of at
least a dozen members in
advance of his confirmation hearing on Thursday.
Six Republicans have said
they would vote against
him, with some opposing Obama’s choice even
before the president’s announcement.
Brennan faces questions
from the GOP about White
House leaks of classified information and from Democrats about the administration’s use of drones.
Sen. Lindsey Graham,

R-S.C., threatened to block
the nomination of both
men until he gets more
answers from the Obama
administration about the
deadly assault on the U.S.
diplomatic mission in Libya that killed Ambassador
Chris Stevens and three
other Americans.
Graham, who earlier this
month signaled he would
delay Brennan’s pick, said
in an interview Monday
night with Fox News’ “On
the Record” the he would
“absolutely” block Hagel
unless Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta testifies
about the attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton testified for
more than five hours last
Wednesday before the
House and Senate, but that
wasn’t sufficient for Graham.
“Hillary Clinton got
away with murder, in my
view,” he said. “She said
they had a clear-eyed view
of the threats. How could

you have a clear-eyed of the
threats in Benghazi when
you didn’t know about the
ambassador’s cable coming back from Libya?”
Senate Armed Services
Committee
Chairman
Carl Levin, D-Mich., told
reporters Tuesday that a
hearing with Panetta on
Libya is planned though
the date was uncertain.
Graham welcomed that
news and said he would
not thwart a committee
vote on the nomination.
“Happy as a clam, news
to me,” he said.
As a White House emissary, Kerry has tamped
down diplomatic fires
for Obama. He also has
stepped ahead of the administration on a handful
of crises. He joined McCain as an early proponent
of a more aggressive policy toward Libya, pushing
for using military forces
to impose a “no-fly zone”
over Libya as Moammar
Gadhafi’s forces killed

rebels and citizens.
He was one of the early
voices calling for Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak
to step down as the revolution roiled the nation two
years ago.
During his tenure, Kerry
has pushed for reducing
the number of nuclear
weapons, shepherding a
U.S.-Russia treaty through
the Senate in December
2010, and has cast climate
change as a national security threat, joining forces
with Republicans on legislation that faced too many
obstacles to win congressional passage.
He has led delegations to
Syria and met a few times
with President Bashar
Assad, now a pariah in
U.S. eyes after months of
civil war and bloodshed as
the government looks to
put down a people’s rebellion. Figuring out an endgame for the Middle East
country would demand all
of Kerry’s skills.

Southern stomps Lady Tomcats, 63-47

RACINE, Ohio — It’s not how
you start, rather how you finish
that counts.
The Southern girls basketball
team trailed by double-digits after one quarter but went on to
beat Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Trimble 63-47
Monday night in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium.
The Lady Tomcats (6-13, 6-7
TVC Hocking) shot over 50 percent in the first period en route
to 20 points. Southern (5-13,
3-10) managed just eight points
in the opening stanza after
shooting just 21.4 percent.
The Lady Tornadoes got it going in the second period with a

15-to-9 run that cut the THS lead
in half. The Lady Tomcats led 2923 at halftime.
The Purple and Gold took the
lead after a 17-to-9 in the third
period. Southern’s defense held
Trimble 9 over the final eight
minutes, while the Lady Tornadoes shot 72.7 percent from the
field in the fourth period to seal
the 63-47 victory.
Southern had four players
reach double figures in scoring,
led by juniors Jordan Huddleston
with 17 points and Celestia Hendrix with 16. Jansen Wolfe and
Maggie Cummins each marked
10 points in the triumph, while
Haley Hill added five. Shelby
Pickens and Darien Diddle each
contributed two points, and Ali-

son Deem scored one point to
round out the SHS total.
Hendrix paced the Lady Tornadoes with 11 rebounds, followed
by Wolfe and Huddleston with six
each. Cummins and Haley Hill led
the victors with four assists each,
followed by Deem with three. The
defensive charge was led by Huddleston with four steals, and Haley Hill with three. Wolfe, Cummins, Hendrix and Haley Hill
each had a rejection for the hosts.
As a unit the Purple and Gold
had 35 rebounds, 16 assists,
15 steals, four blocks and 18
turnovers. Southern shot 9-of19 (47.4 percent) from the free
throw line and 25-of-62 (40.3
percent) from the field, including 4-of-21 (19 percent) from

three-point range. Huddleston
accounted for two of the SHS triples, while Cummins and Haley
Hill had the others.
Nicole Kish led Trimble with
15 points, followed by Demi
Moore and Emily McKee with
eight apiece. Tia Altier had seven points, Kate Spencer marked
four, Madi Moore added three
and Danica Bickley rounded out
the THS scoring with two points.
Demi Moore led the Lady
Tomcats with seven rebounds,
followed by Altier, Bickley and
Spencer with five apiece. Altier
and McKee each had four assists
to lead Trimble, while the Lady
Tomcat defense was led by McKee
and Bickley with three steals each.
Spencer had Trimble’s lone block.

Combined the Lady Tomcats
had 34 rebounds, 14 assists, 11
steals and 27 turnovers. Trimble shot 10-of-19 (52.6 percent)
from the charity stripe and 17of-49 (34.7 percent) from the
field, including 3-of-16 (18.8
percent) from beyond the arc.
McKee accounted for two of
the THS triples, while Demi
Moore had the other.
The victory avenges Southern’s 42-37 loss to the Lady
Tomcats on December 6th in
Glouster. This is the second consecutive year SHS and Trimble
split the season series.
The Lady Tornadoes have
now won three of their last four
games, while THS has now lost
four of its last five.

County, 87-58

ASHTON, W.Va. — One team was snapping an eightgame losing skid Monday night. The only question
was, which team?
Visiting Calhoun County shot 44 percent from the field
and had five players reach double figures en route to an
87-58 triumph over the Hannan boys basketball team in a
non-conference matchup in Mason County.
The Wildcats (2-14) kept things competitive for one period, as the hosts trailed 14-10 after eight minutes of play.
The Red Devils (2-12), however, erupted for 36 points in
the second canto, which allowed the guests to claim a sizable 50-29 cushion at the intermission.
Hannan never came closer the rest of the way, as the
guests went on a 23-14 charge in the third canto to establish a 73-43 lead headed into the finale. CCHS led by as
many as 31 points (87-56) with 30 seconds left in regulation, but Hannan won the fourth canto by a small 15-14
edge to wrap up the 29-point outcome.
With the triumph, Calhoun County claimed a season
sweep after posting a 68-49 decision at CCHS back on
December 17. The Wildcats committed 16 turnovers
and were also outrebounded by a 21-5 margin on the
offensive glass.
It was a tough night for Wildcats’ coach Larry Maynard, who watched his squad give up more points in the
middle periods than they scored in the entire contest.
But, as he noted afterwards, they continued to play hard
until the final horn — something he was indeed proud of.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Can’t
right the ship.
The Gallia Academy girls basketball team lost it’s third game in a
row Monday night when the South
Point Lady Pointers took the 58-55
victory in Gallia County.
The Blue Angels (5-14) started
the game hot on offense, as they
scored 17 points in the opening
period led by Kendra Barnes with
10. South Point (7-9) trailed by five
after scoring just 12 in the first period, but a 15-to-7 run in the second
quarter gave the Lady Pointers the
27-24 halftime advantage.
South Point expanded its lead by
two points in the in the third quarter and led 40-35 with eight minutes remaining. GAHS rallied for
20 points in the fourth period but
the Lady Pointers scored 18 to seal
the 58-55 victory.
Kendra Barnes led the way for
Gallia Academy with 24 points,
including four three-pointers. Micah Curfman hit one triple en route
to 16 points, 11 of which came in
the fourth period. Chelsy Slone
marked eight points, Abby Wiseman added four and Halley Barnes
notched two. Hannah Loveday had
one point to round out the GAHS
scoring.

Waterford avenges Lady Eagles, 63-46

WATERFORD, Ohio — Apparently, there is no place like home.
The Waterford girls basketball
team picked up its 10th consecutive
victory over visiting Eastern within
the friendly confines of Waterford
Elementary Monday night during a
63-46 decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in
Washington County.
The Lady Wildcats (14-4, 13-1
TVC Hocking) never trailed in the
contest, as the hosts jumped out to
early leads of 4-0, 6-2 and 8-4 before
establishing a 16-9 advantage after
eight minutes of play.
The Lady Eagles (15-4, 12-1) —
who were playing in their fourth contest in five days — ultimately never
recovered the rest of the way, as
WHS made an 18-12 second quarter
run to secure its biggest lead of the
first half at 34-21 entering the break.
EHS twice trailed by as many as 18
points in the third stanza, including

a 53-35 deficit headed into the finale. The Lady Eagles won the fourth
stanza by a small 11-10 margin, but
never came closer than five possessions down the stretch.
The 17-point victory allowed the
Lady ‘Cats to join Eastern as the only
one-loss teams in the TVC Hocking
standings and also served as revenge
for a 76-39 setback at EHS back on
December 6. The 54-point turnaround also means that Waterford
now has a legitimate chance at a
share of its ninth consecutive Hocking Division crown.
The Lady Eagles — who entered
the contest ranked eighth in the Division IV Associated Press poll — last
won at Waterford during the 2002-03
campaign under former EHS coach
Rick Edwards. EHS must also win
out to earn a share of this winter’s
league crown.
Eastern connected on 21-of-56
field goal attempts for 38 percent and
committed nine turnovers in the contest, half as many as the 18 miscues
by WHS. Waterford — which shot

23-of-47 from the floor for 49 percent
— claimed a 40-18 overall edge on
the boards.
Jenna Burdette led the Lady
Eagles with 22 points, followed by
Jordan Parker with 14 points and
Katie Keller with five markers. Tori
Goble added three points, while Erin
Swatzel and Maddie Rigsby rounded
out the respective scoring with two
points and one point. EHS was 9-of18 at the free throw line for 50 percent.
Freshman Dani Drayer paced Waterford with a game-high 24 points,
followed by Brooke Drayer with 14
points and Chelsey Paxton with
eight markers. Regan Porter also had
seven points for the hosts, who were
13-of-14 at the charity stripe for 93
percent.
Waterford coach Jerry Close has
never lost a TVC Hocking game at
home during his seven-year tenure.
The Lady ‘Cats are 84-2 overall and
43-0 at home during that span. Both
of those setbacks have come against
fifth-year EHS coach John Burdette.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday,
Jan. 30, 2013:
This year you merge innovative
thinking and efficiency. This powerful
combination sometimes gets stunning reactions, but for the most part,
it encourages creativity within your
immediate circle. If you are single,
romance will head your way ... perhaps with an intensity that you find
both exciting and difficult. If you are
attached, take up a new hobby with
your significant other in order to reduce
stress. You will become a happier
couple as a result. LIBRA might be
charming, but he or she does not think
outside of the box.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Finally, your communication
style makes a breakthrough. You could
wonder what you need to do in order
to change what is going on. You have
thought long and hard about this. Trust
your intuition, and you will make the
right choice. Tonight: Visit with a friend.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You might want to think
through a decision more carefully.
Financial matters come forward that
you might want to review. Your ability to move past a difficult situation
emerges. Part of this skill is your
caring perspective. Tonight: Time for
some fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Recognize that you finally
are achieving long-desired results.
You have reason for celebration; invite
friends to join you. A sense of negativity surrounds a long-term project. Do
not let this thought dominate. Abolish
it. Tonight: Share some news with a
family member.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You could be surprised at
everything that is occurring in your
daily life. Your creativity and desire to
move forth emerge. You have a lot
going on that you have yet to acknowledge. You might want to keep less
to yourself and start sharing. Tonight:
Catch up on a friend’s news.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You have an unusual possessive streak that comes out. Though
you often are insightful, you might not
understand or see the damage that
this behavior could bring. Attempt to
hold back, and try not to get caught
up in acting on a feeling. Tonight: Pay
bills, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Your energy attracts many
people, and you’ll be acknowledged
for everything you do. You could feel
rewarded for many hours of hard work.
Accept an offer that sounds too good
to be true. Communicate the extent of
your feelings to a loved one. Tonight:
Do what you want!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You sense that you are
on the verge of a new beginning.
You don’t have full knowledge of this
opportunity yet, but you soon will.
Take today to catch up on errands, but
use caution when spending. Try not
to invest any funds, especially in real
estate. Tonight: Nap, then decide.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Zero in on priorities. A meeting or a get-together with friends might
be more important than you think. You
are on the verge of getting an offer or
benefiting financially from a different
source. Play bingo or buy a lottery
ticket. Tonight: Call it an early night.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH A loved one starts revealing much more of his or her inner
thoughts. Enjoy this process, yet know
that it could go on for several months.
You might want to handle a career
matter or a situation involving an older
friend or relative sooner rather than
later. Tonight: In the limelight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You might have had plans
to take off and do some research, but
good news could have you rethinking
your plans. An opportunity presents
itself that might be too good to be true.
A somewhat stoic friend plays a large
role in decision-making. Tonight: Take
in a movie.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Deal with a close associate in a more direct manner. You also
can express more of your unconventional thoughts at this point in time.
Use discretion with someone you meet
today. This person might not be everything that he or she projects to be.
Tonight: Chat over dinner.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You can’t help but share
good news that is forthcoming. A
partner or dear friend could be just
as excited as you are. A family matter could involve expansion or the
purchase of a new home. Real estate
remains fairly solid as an investment.
Tonight: Order in.

Golden Eagles soar
past Southern, 67-56
Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

RACINE, Ohio — Hot shooting
leads Belpre over the Tornadoes for
the second time this year.
The Southern boys basketball team
fell to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division foe Belpre, who shot nearly
50 percent from the field, Saturday
night in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium.
A neck and neck first quarter left
the Tornadoes (8-8, 6-6 TVC Hocking) with a slim 15-14 lead. Belpre
(8-7, 8-3) had an answer however,
out scoring Southern 15-to-9 in the
second period to take the five point
advantage.
After halftime BHS went on a 15-to12 run that expanded the lead to 4436 with just eight minutes remaining.
The Purple and Gold put their best offensive effort up in the fourth period,
as they rallied for 20 points. Belpre
closed the game like the veteran team
it is, shooting 9-of-11 (81.8 percent)
from the line and 7-of-11 (63.6 percent) from the field on its way to 23
points and the 67-56 victory.
Tristen Wolfe led the charge for the
Tornadoes with 24 points, followed
by Taylor McNickle and Dennis Teaford with nine apiece. Zac Beegle
chipped in with eight points, Casey
Pickens added four, while Jack Lemley rounded out the SHS scoring with
two points.
Pickens led Southern with seven
rebounds, followed by Wolfe and Mc-

www.mydailysentinel.com

Nickle with five each. Wolfe finished
with a team-high five assists, while
Adam Pape led the defense with three
steals. Wolfe and Beegle each had a
block for the hosts.
As a team Southern finished with
24 rebounds, 10 assists, five steals,
and 16 turnovers. The Purple and
Gold shot 7-of-15 (46.7 percent) from
the charity stripe and 24-of-55 (43.6
percent) from the field, including just
1-of-7 (14.3 percent) from three-point
range.
Dakota Hoffman with 23 points
and Brian Leasure with 13 points led
BHS in the triumph. Nick Therriault
had 11 points, Bryce Pittenger had
eight, while Austin Forshey marked
five. Brennen Ferrell and Joey Byers
each added three points, and Sam
Petty rounded out the victors scoring
with one.
Pittenger finished with a game-high
10 rebounds, while Leasure had six.
Hoffman had a team-high five assists.
Pittenger, Leasure and Therriault
each block two shots, while Pittenger
game-high four steals.
As a unit Belpre had 26 rebounds,
12 assists, eight steals, six blocks and
11 turnovers. The Golden Eagles shot
14-of-20 (70 percent) from the line
and 25-of-51 (49 percent) from the
field, including 3-of-13 (23.1 percent)
from three. Forshey, Hoffman and
Therriault accounted for the trio of
Belpre triples.
Southern also lost to the Golden
Eagles on December 21st in Washington County by a count of 60-50.

Bengals RB coach Jim
Anderson retires
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Jim Anderson has retired after spending the last 29 years
as Cincinnati’s running backs
coach, the longest tenure of
any Bengals coach.
Anderson joined the
team in 1984 after coaching at various colleges. He
worked under five Bengals head coaches — Sam
Wyche, Dave Shula, Bruce
Coslet, Dick LeBeau and
Marvin Lewis.
Anderson said on Tuesday
that he loves coaching, but
it’s time for a new challenge.
His streak of 29 years
with one team was the
longest in the NFL for any
position coach. It’s also a
Bengals record for a coach,
surpassing the 28 seasons
that Kim Wood spent as
conditioning coach before
Lewis took over.
The coaching staff is set
to return mostly intact following a second straight
playoff appearance.

Steelers name Bicknell
offensive line coach
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
The Pittsburgh Steelers
have hired Jack Bicknell Jr.
as the team’s new offensive
line coach.
Bicknell replaces Sean
Kugler, who left the Steelers
following the 2012 season to
become head coach at UTEP.
Bicknell spent last season as
the offensive line coach for
the Kansas City Chiefs and
began his NFL coaching
career as an assistant line
coach with the New York Giants from 2009-11.
The 49-year-old Bicknell
spent more than two decades coaching at the collegiate level, including eight
seasons as the head coach at
Louisiana Tech from 19992006. His 43 wins at Tech
rank the third-most in the
program’s history.
Bicknell played center at
Boston College from 198185, where his father Jack
Bicknell Sr. was head coach.
Bicknell snapped the ball to
Doug Flutie on the famous
last-second touchdown pass
that beat Miami in 1984.

Ex-NBA player Van Exel’s
son murder trial begins
DALLAS (AP) — The
22-year-old son of former
NBA player Nick Van Exel
is on trial for capital murder in the shooting death of
a longtime friend.
Nickey Maxwell Van Exel
was arrested in December
2010 in the death of Bradley Bassey Eyo. Police said
Eyo’s body was found with
a gunshot wound at Lake
Ray Hubbard, east of downtown Dallas.
Van Exel’s attorney has
said Van Exel and Eyo were
playing with a shotgun, and
that Van Exel didn’t know
the gun was loaded.
His trial began Tuesday.
Van Exel faces up to life in
prison if convicted.

Tyler Jenkins and Daniel
Black rounded out the
scoring with two points
apiece.
Calhoun County sank
27-of-62 shot attempts
overall, including an 8-of24 effort from three-point
range for 33 percent. The
Red Devils were also 25-

of-43 at the charity stripe
for 58 percent.
Ryan Slider paced the
guests with 21 points, followed by Ricky Hall with
16 points and Mason Sheldon with 12 markers. Sam
Brady and Tyler Gerwig
also chipped in 10 points
each to the winning cause.

don’t match up with this
team very well,” Maynard
said. “They are taller than
we are, we had too many
turnovers and we didn’t
play very good defense
there in the second and
third quarters. We just

didn’t get the job done tonight.
“Now, to our credit, we
were still hustling in the
fourth quarter — diving
on the floor after loose
balls trailing by 30 points.
For a team that has lost
some games recently, it is
encouraging to see them

still getting after it until
the final buzzer.”
Hannan connected on
21-of-46 field goal attempts
for 46 percent, including a
4-of-12 effort from threepoint territory for 33 percent. The hosts were also
12-of-20 at the free throw
line for 60 percent.

Tyler Burns led HHS
with 21 points, followed
by Ty Paige with 10
points and Brad Fannin
with nine markers. Kade
McCoy was next with six
points, while Paul Holley and Dakota Fannin
respectively chipped in
five and three markers.
