Speelman, 84 50 cents daily TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 21 Civil War Sesquecentennial event being planned Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Planning for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Buffingtion Island, the only Civil War battle to take place in Ohio, continued Saturday as representatives of the Ohio Historical Society met with local organization representatives at the Meigs County Historical Society’s museum annex. Karen Hassel of the Ohio Historical Society who is working on event plans, said that reenactors are scheduled to arrive at the camp site in the area of the Buffington Island Memorial Park at Portland or at a Bashan farm site on Friday, July 19. She added that an emphasis of the weekend activities will be geared to providing activities as they relate to life during Civil War times which will appeal to both adults and children. Being planned are tours of the battle fields in wagons, Civil War battle reenactments, and, of course, an official commemoration of the event with speakers to include representatives from the Governor’s office and legislative branches as well as local officials. The commemorative celebration will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 20. That will be followed by the annual memorial service led by Cabot-Blessing 126 Camp with Commander Jim Oiler and Benjamin Fearing Camp 2 with Dan Hinton. Also expected to participate is the Auxiliary to the Ohio Department Daughters of the Confederacy. That service will include the traditional laying of the wreath at the monument. Battle skirmishes between the Union and Confederate reenactors are to be held Saturday af- ternoon along with tours of the battlefields in the wagons with narration by someone portraying a character of that historic time. Negotiations are being made with the Portland Community Center for use of the land between the Center and Memorial Park for the skirmishes and other activities, Hassel reported. A living history by the 91st OVI will take place, along with games of that time period for the children on Saturday at the Park site. Plans for dinner arrangements in Portland and Chester are on the agenda. The traditional Civil War Ball in Chester will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. under the big tent pitched on the Chester Commons. Sunday events include plans for church services around 10 a.m., and time for viewing museum exhibits, both at the Portland Community Center and at the Meigs Museum where the voting ballots of soldiers in the year when Lincoln was seeking a second term will be on display. The major skirmish between the Confederate and Union militia is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. and continue for approximately two hours bringing the 150th commemorative observance of the Battle of Buffington Island to a conclusion. During Saturday’s meeting, it was emphasized that things are still in a planning stage, Mike Holbrook of the Ohio Historical Society, and a Union reenactor, reported that at this time there is no way to determine the number of reenactors who will be available to come to Meigs County to participate in the skirmishes. He did say that while he and other Union reenactors will be participating in the Gettysburg event, there is still interest in coming here for the Buffington Island event. It was noted that Edd Sharp, a Confederate reenactor, was unable to attend the meeting but has indicated that he expects good participation in the reenactment here. Attending the planning session were Margaret Parker and Mike Parker, representing the Meigs County Historical Society; Jimmy Stewart, George Morrison and Mary Powell of the Chester-Shade Historical Association which hosts the Civil War Ball, Harry Spencer of Basham who has been involved in providing camping and battle site in years past, along with Haskel and Holbrook, and Jenny Hand and Ann Miller of Chester and Columbus. The next planning session was set for March 16 at the Meigs Museum. ‘College Goal Sunday’ offering help with FAFSA Nathan Jeffers njeffers@civitasmedia.com ginians achieve the dream of earning a college diploma, which will in turn ensure the economic success of our great state.” In addition to receiving financial aid assistance, Smith also noted those attending CGS also have a chance to win door prizes and even be entered into a drawing for a free iPad, one of which will be given away at each of CGS’s 23 locations across the state. Participants can also receive other needed materials including pen, pencils and notepads. Smith also said donations of these materials and door prizes are still being taken and can either be dropped off at MOVC, or Smith can be contacted and she will pick them up. As already stated, the various aspects of CGS are also run by volunteers, which Smith said they could always use more help. Smith noted the financial experts were not volunteers off the street, but other areas available to serve could include greeting and directing the participants and supervising the children’s play area. Those interested in volunteering can also contact Smith. Students and families attending CGS should bring a driver’s license, both the student’s and parent’s Social Security number, 2012 tax records (or 2011 records if 2012 forms are not yet available), 2012 untaxed income records and information about investments and bank account balances. All information that is provided will be submitted through the federal government’s secure FAFSA network. It was also noted that the snow date for CGS is Sunday, Feb. 17. In addition, it was stated that pre-registration is recommended, but not required. For more information on CGS, contact Smith at 304674-7204 or at smith221@ marshall.edu, or visit www. cfwv.com to register. POINT PLEASANT — “Money, money, money must be funny in the rich man’s world.” Parents just may find themselves singing these ABBA lyrics when their teenage child begins filling out applications to various colleges. When scholarships and grants aren’t enough, another source of financial help is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Much like filing income taxes, the paperwork for the FAFSA can be intimidating for first time college students and parents. So, for the fourth year in a row, FAFSA help is available in Mason County at “College Goal Sunday (CGS).” Set for 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 10 at Marshall University’s Mid-Ohio Valley Center (MOVC), CGS is a chance for students and their families to work with financial aid experts and receive free and confidential assistance in filling out the FAFSA, as well as a chance to get more information on other financial aid options that may be available.

US unsure of Iran’s space claims WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States expressed doubt on Monday about Iran’s claim that it safely returned a monkey from space, saying it is questionable that the monkey survived — or if the flight happened at all. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said a lot of questions remained “about whether the monkey that they reportedly sent up into space and reportedly came down was actually the same monkey, whether he survived.” “The Iranians said they sent a monkey, but the monkey that they showed later seemed to have different facial features,” Nuland told reporters. “He was missing a little wart.” Tehran blames the confusion on Iranian media for initially using a photo of a backup monkey. It says the monkey orbited and returned safely, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad added Monday that he would consider being Iran’s first astronaut in space. Nuland described Ahmadinejad’s proclamation as an “interesting choice,” but was more diplomatic than Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who joked about Ahmadinejad’s ruminations earlier Monday. “Wasn’t he just there last week?” McCain said in a tweet and linked to a story about the space-orbiting monkey. Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard astronomer who tracks rocket launchings and space activity, backed up Iran’s claim that monkey space flight was real. However, he had a slightly different explanation for the photo mix-up, saying the simian with the mole died during a failed space mission in 2011. Iran has never confirmed that a monkey died in 2011, or that there was a failed mission that year. Tehran says its goal is a manned space flight. Washington and its allies worry the program may be cover for ballistic missile technology development. Ask Dr. Brothers Nerves threaten his sports career natural abilDear Dr. ity.

I wondered when he was going to dispose of her things so we could decorate the way we wanted, but I’m still wondering after two years. Every time I start to make a bag to give to charity, he takes everything out and says he wants to keep it. I’m worried that he’ll never move on. What can I do now? — M.B. Dear M.B.: It is frightening when you see a quality in your spouse that seems unreasonable and illogical and they have no idea why you would see things that way. It seems as though that is what you are facing with your husband, who is stuck in the past and afraid to move on. Not many men could get their wives to move into the home they grew up in and not even redecorate. For you the problem seems more serious because your husband is dead-set on keeping your home as a sort of museum of his youth. While you and he have been focusing on the deceased grandmother, I suspect is it his own childhood that your husband has difficulty putting away. Instead of trying to pack up things and get rid of them, ask your husband if he will go through the house with you, room by room, and pick out some things that have special meaning to him that you can keep. If it isn’t candy wrappers from seventh grade, but instead some of his grandmother’s antique pottery, you might begin to feel better. Make a big deal out of finding a nice display cabinet for his things and his grandmother’s. Then and only then is when you can start to be a little more firm with him about making the place your home — meaning yours, your child’s and his. If you take it slowly, you may just find him beginning to cooperate.

John Kasich proposed a sweeping budget Monday that reduces state income and small business taxes through increases in other areas, boosts school funding and expands Medicaid services with help from the federal government. The Republican governor said the $63.1 billion, two-year spending blueprint represents “the right mix” of supporting economic development and helping the needy. “That’s the hallmark of this administration,” he said. “It’s not enough that some people can do well. Everyone in Ohio must have the prospect of doing better.” He predicted that the state will have gone from a $7.7 billion deficit to a surplus of as much as $1.9 billion by the end of the budget cycle, triggering an estimated 4 percent tax refund from the rainy day fund to all Ohioans. The growth is being fueled by bonding of the Ohio Turnpike, bonding of the state liquor operation through Kasich’s private nonprofit JobsOhio, economic gains, and added revenue from expanded gambling. Kasich’s tax reform package incorporates a significant rewrite of Ohio’s tax code that delivers $1.4 billion in tax cuts over three years. Kasich said it reflects the state’s shift from a manufacturing to service economy. It reduces the tax rate on virtually all small businesses by 50 percent, cuts the income tax rate statewide by 20 percent over three years, and lowers the sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5 percent while imposing the tax on more services. The income tax would be cut by 7.5 percent this year, by another 7.5 percent in 2014 and by an additional 5 percent in 2015. “There’s going to be a hot time in the old town tonight,” Kasich said of what he predicts will be the positive effects on the economy from the changes. “Gov. Kasich’s tax proposals are welcome, because they address Ohio’s biggest long-term problem: sluggish growth in job opportunities and incomes,” Ohio University economics professor Richard Vedder said in a statement released by the administration. The revisions will impose sales taxes on professional services — including lawyers, lobbyists and accountants — in a move that is sure to set off a contentious policy fight at the Statehouse. States that have tried something similar, including Michigan and Florida, have quickly had to backpedal amid concerns implementation was unworkable. The Ohio plan continues to exempt from the tax some widely used daily services, including child care, housing and medical services. The administration hopes to ease some of the opposition by reducing the overall sales-tax rate while expanding the tax to other areas. Kasich said the time has come to rewrite the code to include those services. The budget package also incorporates Kasich’s answer to Ohio’s unconstitutional school funding plan. The overhaul outlined last week delivers $1.2 billion in additional funding to districts over the biennium, which the budget couples with a new formula for higher education funding that ties half of state subsidies for public colleges and universities to the number of students who graduate, rather than attend, their institutions. Kasich’s “Achievement Everywhere” education plan would bring all school districts up to the tax base level of a district with $250,000 in property value per student, easing wide disparities in millage revenues from local property tax levies that have contributed to courts declaring the current system unconstitutional. It would establish a $300 million fund to pay for competitive innovation and efficiency grants among other proposals, and delivers additional add-ons to districts to account for the number of poor, special-needs, gifted and college-bound students. The governor said districts should not be nervous about their individual state subsidies, because the plan takes into account their ability to pay. “There’s no anxiety to have, you are who you are,” Kasich said. “If you’re not 6-foot-tall, you can’t ride on the big roller coaster. … It’s an exact science. It’s not a matter of political opinion.” The governor has also opted to support expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care law, providing health care coverage to potentially half a million uninsured Ohioans. He said he still opposes the health care mandate aspect of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, but he predicted funding chaos especially for small-city hospitals by rejecting the expansion offer contained in the law. “It’s an important point to make that we’re recapturing something for a very useful purpose that we think in the end will allow Ohio to move forward,” Kasich said. He called it “the right decision for Ohio,” and said it’s important that the state send money to those most in need. “Many of our mentally ill are in our jails today, APNewsBreak: Skydiver fell faster than thought CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Supersonic skydiver Felix Baumgartner was faster than he or anyone else thought when he jumped from 24 miles up. The Austrian parachutist known as “Fearless Felix” reached 843.6 mph, according to the official numbers released Monday. That’s equivalent to Mach 1.25, or 1.25 times the speed of sound. His top speed initially was estimated last October at 834 mph, or Mach 1.24. Either way, he became the first human to break the sound barrier with only his body. He wore a pressurized suit and jumped from a capsule hoisted by a giant helium balloon over New Mexico. Baumgartner was supersonic for a halfminute — “quite remarkable,” according to Brian Utley, the official record-keeping official who was present for the Oct. 14 feat. His heart rate remained below 185 beats a minute, and his breathing was fairly steady. The leap was from an altitude of 127,852 feet. That’s 248 feet lower than original estimates. “He jumped from a little bit lower, but he actually went a little bit faster, which was pretty exciting,” said Art Thompson, technical project director for the Red Bullsponsored project. because they received no care, or living under a bridge,” he said. “It’s not acceptable in a big state like Ohio.” Kasich campaigned in 2010 on a pledge to reduce Ohio’s income tax, and he delivered on the promise with Monday’s proposal. To fund the cut, he’s resurrecting a proposal to increase Ohio’s severance tax on large-volume oil and gas drillers in what the administration says is a “fair, equitable and competitive” change. Their plan eliminates the tax altogether on small oil and gas producers. “What this proposal does is it aligns the tax code with the realities of the economy,” state Tax Com- missioner Joe Testa said. The Legislature failed to act on the oil and gas proposal last session, after pushback from oil and gas producers, local communities enjoying the bounty of the energy exploration boom, and some tea party groups opposed on principle to tax increases.

His impressive rebound, aided by face-the-facts confrontations with colleagues, helped the government avoid a potential default on its financial obligations — for three months, at least. It also reassured establishment Republicans who feared the House majority was becoming so unpredictable that it endangered the party. But the patched-up GOP solidarity and Boehner’s ability to pass bills without Democrats’ help are certain to be tested again. Surprising news this past week about a late2012 economic slump might re-energize arguments over tax increases and impending spending cuts. An even bigger challenge will be the immigration overhaul proposals headed toward Congress. The nation’s highestranking Republican, who recently confronted open talk of a possible overthrow, has calmed the waters remarkably, for now. December was a grim time for Boehner. Rankand-file Republicans forced him to withdraw in embarrassment from White House negotiations over the muchfeared “fiscal cliff,” the combination of deep spending cuts and endof-the year tax increases. January was worse. Boehner, R-Ohio, twice had to rely on Democrats to pass major bills, and he watched a dozen fellow Republicans refuse to back his re-election as speaker. Within days, however, he steadied his ship and persuaded his colleagues to go along with his plans to be more strategic and patient. The implications went beyond one politician’s fate. Financial markets and corporate planners were reassured when House Republicans agreed to postpone a showdown over the government’s borrowing capacity. It marked a significant cooling off by GOP conservatives, many of whom had been saying President Barack Obama’s reelection meant little. Now they publicly were starting to accept the limits of minority party status in Washington. “We’re too outnumbered to govern, to make policy,” said Rep. John Fleming, R-La., who had defied Boehner on votes earlier in January on the fiscal cliff and hurricane aid. “But we can make a serious impact on spending” by picking when and where to fight, Fleming said. Republicans say Boehner’s biggest breakthrough came at a two-day House GOP retreat in Virginia. With his restless caucus shut away from distractions, he lined up speakers from inside and outside Congress to help explain what he saw as fiscal and political realities. In a speech a few days later, Boehner summarized the case he made to his colleagues. In the upcoming debates over taxes and deficit spending, he said, Republicans must decide “where’s the ground that we fight on? Where’s the ground that we retreat on? Where are the smart fights?” The decisions will come soon. Aside from big spending cuts scheduled to start March 1, lawmakers must choose whether to fund the government for another year. Some conservatives say they may temporarily shut down the government if Democrats don’t accept deep spending cuts and no new tax revenues.

Dozens of House Republicans who had once refused to increase the debt ceiling without corresponding spending cuts — a position Boehner had just abandoned — backed down after the House retreat. Republican campaign strategists fear severe setbacks if voters blame the party for a default on U.S. financial obligations. The concessions also seem to have put the speaker back on track for passing major bills with solid GOP majorities. Early in January, Boehner twice had to abandon the “majority of the majority” rule that has guided House speakers for years. That rule says that whenever possible, a speaker wants to avoid passing major legislation that most of the speaker’s party members oppose. But unyielding Republicans forced Boehner’s hand Jan. 1 on the fiscal cliff. He had to rely chiefly on Democrats’ votes to enact an Obama-backed budget deal to avoid a tax increase on most Americans and instead raise them for the more affluent. Two weeks later, Boehner again had to accept most Republicans’ abandonment on a deficitfinanced spending bill to help victims of Superstorm Sandy. Perhaps Boehner’s darkest moment came on Dec. 20, when conservative colleagues rejected his counteroffer to Obama’s bid to raise taxes on the wealthy. The setback not only embarrassed the speaker, but also forced him to the sidelines, requiring Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to step in as the top GOP on the fiscal cliff. Yet within four weeks, Boehner and his allies had vastly improved party discipline and coherence. The Associated Press NEW YORK — Of all the images of Superstorm Sandy’s destruction, the ones that linger for Florence Catania are the torn, stained pictures that hung on her walls. Her mother’s decades-old wedding portrait, her own eighth-grade graduation photo, a snapshot that captured her mom on a carefree teenage day, all damaged in a Sandy-sparked fire at Catania’s home in suburban Deer Park, N.Y. But volunteers scattered around the world are about to start digitally mending Catania’s personal photos and others battered by Sandy, banding together online to restore items that can’t be rebought. Founded after Hurricane Katrina, a nonprofit network of photographers, graphic artists and hobbyists has repaired more than 9,000 pictures discolored by floods, pockmarked by debris, speckled by mold and otherwise damaged by disasters in recent years. The Sandy project, which started this weekend, promises to be one of Operation Photo Rescue’s most expert efforts yet. “It means a lot to me,” Catania said after bringing her photos to the restorers Saturday. “These are irreplaceable.” The restorers began shooting digital copies of the damaged prints with highresolution professional cameras and specialized no-glare lighting Saturday at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, wearing white gloves to handle the images as though they were museum pieces. Indeed, a Metropolitan Museum of Art imaging expert and two of the museum’s photo conservators were on hand to provide advice, and two of the camera setups had been used to help the Atlantabased King Center digitize hundreds of thousands of documents associated with Martin Luther King Jr. After Catania left with her original prints, Operation Photo Rescue veteran Dennis McKeever glued himself to a computer screen, delicately copying snippets of forehead, sections of background, and overlaying them on similar, damaged areas of the wedding photo. Within about a half-hour, the retired computer network engineer had sewn up a sizeable gash in the portrait and was testing settings that might provide more visual data to help clean the apparently sepia-toned image. “It’s a matter of feeling your way through things,” said McKeever, who has restored more than 100 photos through the group. Other digital files would be uploaded to a password-protected website, where Operation Photo Rescue’s roughly 3,000 volunteers can choose images they’d like to work on. It’s a painstaking process that can entail both resourcefulness — replacing a missing left foot by duplicating and reversing the right foot, for instance — and research.

A volunteer might try to look up a flag in a photo’s background to see how it’s supposed to appear, as an example. The average picture takes a few hours of work; some take as long as a week, said Operation Photo Rescue President Margie Hayes, a technical writer-turnedgraphic artist. She got involved in the group after 2007 floods in nearby Coffeyville, Kan., about 120 miles from her home in El Dorado, Kan. The refurbished prints are sent to the owners for free. Film-digitizing company DigMyPics has donated the printmaking and postage; PhotoShelter, a photography site, donates the online space where the images are stored for volunteers to see. The Sandy effort also entailed other key contributions: three image-capturing stations, provided by Ken Allen Studios, a digital-imaging business, and JPMorgan Chase. The finance giant acquired the equipment to aid the King Center’s digitization project and was “excited to provide this technology to enable families in the New York area to salvage family photos that would otherwise have been lost forever,” Chief Information Officer Guy Chiarello said in a statement. Such contributions are key for an organization that had to cut off $25-a-month stipends for some volunteers’ Internet service when a grant dried up in 2009. Now it solicits members for donations whenever it mobilizes to a disaster area. Hayes said she raised about $3,000 for the New York trip, and she’d like to find a way to make a similar run to a Sandystruck area of New Jersey. Dave Ellis, the photography director at The Free Lance-Star of Fredericksburg, Va., and Rebecca Sell, who was then a photographer at the paper, launched Operation Photo Rescue in 2006, after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast the previous summer. The group now counts volunteers in all 50 states and 75 other countries, about 50 to 100 of whom are very active, Hayes said. It has responded to tornadoes, flash floods and tropical storms around the United States, amassing a gallery of before-and-after images that span generations: a formal childhood portrait, rippled and flecked with dirt. A black-and-white image of a Victorian-style mansion, faded to a hazy peach. A 1970s or ’80s wedding photo, so waterlogged it looked as though the couple’s faces had been scribbled on with crayons. Someone cradling a dog, the apparently decades-old snapshot splotched with a chemical yellow. “We’re really trying to restore people’s family memories and community memories,” said Katrin Eismann, an SVA professor. While she co-wrote the book that guides much of the volunteer effort, “Adobe Photoshop Restoration & Retouching,” this weekend marked the first time she participated in person. “If we didn’t do it, after a while, those prints are just going to disintegrate.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

It also sets up a potential fight among the governor and Republicans who control the state Legislature and are strongly against President Barack Obama’s health care law. The state anticipates more than 365,000 Ohioans will be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the health program for the poor that already provides care for one of every five residents in the state. A broad group of Ohio’s doctors, hospitals and health providers back the idea. Gov. John Kasich, who last summer called the federal health overhaul a “massive new tax on the middle class,” proposed the Medicaid expansion in his two-year budget plan released Monday. He now must persuade Republican state lawmakers to back the plan despite the fact that many dislike the law’s mandated coverage and campaigned against it just a few months ago. Kasich reiterated his opposition to what he called “Obamacare,” saying “I don’t believe in the individual mandate.” “But I think that this makes great sense for the state of Ohio,” he said. If Ohio doesn’t extend Medicaid, his administration said, federal tax dollars will be used to expand health coverage in other states and give businesses elsewhere a competitive advantage by creating a healthier workforce. The leader of the Ohio House has said his fellow Republicans have concerns about the expense of expanding Medicaid. House Speaker William Batchelder told reporters the idea also poses philosophical questions for lawmakers who oppose the law’s mandate that almost everyone obtain health insurance. Kasich said he views the Medicaid expansion decision separately from the health care overhaul law’s mandate. The federal government will pay the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent of the cost after that. Even at those generous rates, however, some GOP governors and state legislatures say they fear being stuck with long-term costs. Ohio will see an influx of $2.4 billion in federal funds over the next two years beginning in July to cover those who are newly eligible, the administration said. Separate changes to eligibility for Medicaid will mean that almost 91,000 who are covered by Medicaid will be dropped from the program. The state also expects to net $235 million because of a boost in tax revenue, plus additional savings from proposed Medicaid Obama presses his gun proposals in Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With his gun proposals dividing Congress, President Barack Obama took his case for universal background checks and for banning some military-style weapons to the upper Midwest on Monday, looking to build public support for his measures and to apply pressure on lawmakers. Obama argued that there’s bipartisan support for a system to undertake criminal checks on gun buyers and for gun trafficking laws but, acknowledging the political challenges he faces, would only say that the assault weapons ban deserves a vote in Congress. “We don’t have to agree on everything to agree it’s time to do something,” he said. Before his remarks, Obama held a roundtable discussion at the Minneapolis Police Department Special Operations Center, speaking with law enforcement and community leaders. Obama made his pitch in Minnesota, a Democratic-leaning state where officials have been studying ways to reduce gun-related attacks and accidents for several years. His visit to the Minneapolis Police Department’s Special Operations Center will mark the first time Obama has campaigned on his controversial proposals outside of Washington. “Changing the status quo is never easy,” Obama said. “This will be no exception. The only way we can reduce gun violence in this county is if it the American people decide it’s important, if you decide it’s important — parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, hunters and sportsmen, Americans of every background stand up and say, ‘This time, it’s got to be different.’” Ahead of the trip, the White House released a photo of the president skeet shooting at Camp David, the presidential retreat. Obama cited skeet shooting when asked in a recent interview whether he had ever shot a gun. The president unveiled his sweeping package of proposals for curbing gun violence last month in response to the mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. He vowed to use the full weight of his office to fight for the proposals, many of which face tough opposition from congressional lawmakers and the powerful National Rifle Association. The reinstatement of the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, is expected to be the steepest climb for Obama. Universal background checks for gun purchasers may have an easier time passing Congress, though the NRA also opposes that measure. White House press secretary Jay Carney, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, said Obama remained committed to the assault weapons ban and that it was too early to write off prospects for any parts of the package. “We all recognize that all the components of this are difficult and face challenges, some perhaps even more than others,” Carney said. “But the president’s support is firm and clear.” Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has said he hopes his panel can write gun legislation this month, though it’s unclear what it will contain. The White House picked Minneapolis as the backdrop for Obama’s remarks in part because of recent steps the city has taken to tackle gun violence, including a push for stricter background checks. eligibility changes and savings on medical care for prisoners. Kasich proposal also calls for an automatic “opt-out” trigger. Under his plan, if the federal government doesn’t pick up its share of expanded coverage, the program for newly eligible would shut down and Ohio taxpayers wouldn’t be stuck with the bill. Kasich’s decision is significant not only because Ohio is a political bellwether, but also because of his previous service is Congress, where as chairman of the House Budget Committee in the late 1990s he helped pass major legislation to reduce federal debt. That gives his decision Monday added weight, and could undercut arguments from some conservatives that Washington cannot be trusted to honor its financial commitments for the latest Medicaid expansion. Ohio was among 26 states that sued to overturn the federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the heart of the overhaul last year but allowed states to decide whether to expand Medicaid. Kasich joined Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer in calling for expansion. Several other GOP governors have said they will not go forward, including Rick Perry in Texas, Bobby Jindal in Louisiana and Nikki Haley in South Carolina. The Medicaid expansion is intended to cover about half of the 30 million uninsured people expected to eventually gain coverage under the health care overhaul. The law expanded Medicaid to cover low-income people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,400 a year for an individual. That provision will mainly benefit low-income adults who do not have children and currently can’t get Medicaid in most states. Separately, the overhaul provides subsidized private insurance for middleclass households. Washington, D.C., and 17 states have opted to expand their Medicaid rolls. Iraq War vet accused in shooting on suicide watch FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had to be shocked with a stun gun and restrained in his jail cell overnight after becoming aggressive, a sheriff said Monday. Eddie Ray Routh, 25, is on suicide watch in the Erath County Jail, where he’s being held on $3 million bond, Sheriff Tommy Bryant said. Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Chris Kyle, author of the best-selling book “American Sniper,” and his friend Chad Littlefield at a shooting range Saturday in Glen Rose. Routh, a member of the Marines Corps Reserve, appeared ready to assault jailers Sunday night when they entered his solitary confinement cell because he refused to return his food tray, Bryant said. After warnings, jailers used a stun gun once and then put Routh in a chair that restrains his arms and legs, Bryant said. Bryant said has an attorney but hasn’t met with him at the jail in Stephenville, about 75 miles southwest of Fort Worth, and he has not said anything to investigators. Authorities say the three men arrived at the sprawling Rough Creek Lodge on Saturday afternoon, and a hunting guide discovered the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield about two hours later and called 911. Bryant said Sunday that Kyle and Littlefield were shot more than once. Routh then drove Kyle’s pickup to his sister’s house in Midlothian and told her that he killed two people, and she called police, Erath County Sheriff’s Capt. Jason Upshaw said Monday. Routh was arrested after a short police pursuit in Lancaster, near his home. Routh joined the Marines in 2006 and rose to the rank of corporal in 2010. His military specialty was small-arms technician, commonly known as an armorer. He had been stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and served in Iraq from 2007-08 and in the Haiti disaster relief mission in 2010. He is now in the individual ready reserve, which basically means he’s a civilian. He could be called to duty, but it’s uncommon unless he volunteers, said 1st Lt. Dominic Pitrone of the Marine Forces Services public affairs office. Travis Cox, director of FITCO Cares — the nonprofit that Kyle set up to give in-home fitness equipment to physically and emotionally wounded veterans — said he believes that Kyle and Littlefield were helping Routh work through PTSD. Cox said Routh’s mother may have asked Kyle to help her son, but Cox didn’t know how Routh and Kyle knew each other. He said the shooting range event was not a FITCO session. Lt. Cmdr. Rorke Denver, who served with Kyle in Iraq in 2006, wasn’t surprised that Kyle apparently used a shooting range to help someone with PTSD. “For us, for warriors, that’s a skill set that has become very familiar, very comfortable for us,” said Denver, a lieutenant commander in a reserve SEAL team. “So I actually see it as kind of a perfect use of Chris’ unique skill set and expertise of which he has very few peers.” Kyle, 38, left the Navy in 2009 after four tours of duty in Iraq, where he earned a reputation as one of the military’s most lethal snipers. Littlefield, 35, was Kyle’s friend, neighbor and “workout buddy,” and also volunteered his time to work with veterans, Cox said. FITCO Cares offered life coaching for veterans, a daily support group and weekly group counseling. Sometimes veterans in other states would video conference in to counseling sessions, Cox said. “He (Kyle) didn’t have any fear at all as far as working with an extreme case,” Cox said. “Just like in combat he would take it on head-on and do whatever he could to give these guys assistance.” Catholic hospital takes surprise stance in lawsuit DENVER (AP) — It was a startling assertion that seemed an about-face from church doctrine: A Catholic hospital arguing in a Colorado court that twin fetuses that died in its care were not, under state law, human beings. When the two-year-old court filing surfaced last month, it triggered an avalanche of criticism — because the legal argument seemed to plainly clash with the church’s centuries-old stance that life begins at conception. But it is also now fueling an already raging debate in Colorado and beyond about whether fetuses should have legal rights and, if so, what kind. On Monday, the hospital and the state’s bishops released a statement acknowledging it was “morally wrong” to make the legal argument. News of the wrongful death lawsuit came as Colorado lawmakers weigh how far they should go in penalizing acts that harm a fetus, and some worry that the case could diminish the Catholic Church’s credibility in advocating more rights for the unborn. Miguel De La Torre, a professor at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, noted that the church often argues for laws recognizing a fetus as a human being. “If that legislation was to come up again, how could the Catholic Church argue we should protect the rights of a fetus?” he said. Indeed, last week Colorado’s bishops met with executives at Catholic Healthcare Initiatives, a branch of the church that operates the hospital at the center of the case, to review how the lawsuit was handled. The two released separate statements Monday saying CHI executives had been unaware of the legal arguments and pledging to “work for comprehensive change in Colorado’s law, so that the unborn may enjoy the same legal protections as other persons.” Spurred on by advancing medical technology that makes fetuses more viable and more visible, states have been expanding some rights to fetuses, sometimes in conjunction with anti-abortion groups and the Catholic Church. State laws vary widely. It’s difficult to quantify how many states allow wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of unborn children because each state has different case law and judicial interpretation. A report from the anti-abortion Americans United for Life estimates that 38 permit such lawsuits. According to The Guttmacher Institute, which tracks reproductive health issues, 37 states allow some form of prosecution for killing a fetus. A federal law also makes it a crime to harm a fetus while committing other federal crimes. The debate over such measures has been especially heated in Colorado, which has long battled over the legal status of unborn children. For example, Colorado has been ground zero for the “personhood” movement, which pushes laws that give fertilized eggs all the legal rights of human beings. Opponents warn that such laws would outlaw all forms of abortion and some types of birth control. Voters here so far have overwhelmingly rejected such proposals. In 1986, a federal court ruled that fetuses are indeed people for purposes of wrongful death lawsuits in Colorado, but state courts have offered conflicting views. This latest case further calls the matter into question. The case centers on St. Thomas More Medical Center in Canon City, a few hours south of Denver, and a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a husband who lost his pregnant wife. Lori Stodghill was 28 weeks into her pregnancy when, on New Year’s Day 2006, she began vomiting and feeling short of breath, according to court papers. Her husband, Jeremy, took her to the emergency room of St. Thomas More, where Stodghill collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors and nurses tried to revive her, but she was declared dead from a pulmonary embolism. No one tried to remove the fetuses via an emergency cesarean section, and they perished, too, court papers said. Jeremy Stodghill sued the hospital, some doctors and Catholic Healthcare Initiatives, which owns the company that operates Thomas More. Attorneys for CHI in 2010 filed court papers asking a judge to dismiss the case because the plaintiffs couldn’t prove negligent care killed Lori Stodghill and her fetuses. They also argued that “under Colorado law, a fetus is not a ‘person,’ and Plaintiff’s claims for wrongful death must therefore be dismissed.” The trial judge agreed, finding that previous state cases required a fetus to be “born alive” to have a legal claim. An appellate court upheld the dismissal on other grounds. Stodghill’s attorneys are now asking the state Supreme Court to hear the case. The arguments were first reported on Jan. 23 by The Colorado Independent and Westword and set off a firestorm because of Catholic health groups’ past stances on such issues. The trade group representing Catholic Hospitals opposed a provision of the federal health care law mandating that birth control be covered by insurance. In their Monday statement, Denver Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila, Colorado Springs Bishop Michael Sheridan and Pueblo Bishop Fernando Isern said: “Catholic healthcare institutions are, and should, be held to the high standard of Jesus Christ himself.” They and CHI pledged not to argue against fetal personhood further in the case. They also said they and CHI sympathize with the Stodghill family. Attorney Timms Fowler, who wrote a brief on behalf of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association in the case, doesn’t believe that allowing lawsuits over wrongfully killed fetuses leads to giving them the same rights as human beings. He said there is a difference between “the duty owed by a stranger to the mother and the unborn child” and the mother’s own decisions about the fetus’ future. “To die by the wrongful conduct of a stranger, you don’t have to be a walking, talking, full person,” Timms said, stressing he was speaking for himself and not the association. Last Monday, no church representatives testified as a state legislative committee considered a proposal to make it a crime to kill a fetus. Republican Rep. Janak Joshi said his measure was not meant to wade into abortion politics but rather enable prosecutors to file additional charges in cases like the Aurora movie theater shooting. One victim was so severely wounded during the July massacre that she miscarried, but prosecutors could not file murder charges on her unborn child’s behalf. �The Daily Sentinel Sports TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Defenders take two from WCC, PCA Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team picked up a pair of victories Thursday and Friday night, as the Defenders won a 43-41 decision at Wood County Christian and then came home for a 65-19 triumph over Pike Christian Academy. The Defenders (8-6) survived a late scare from WCC Thursday night, as OVCS stormed out to early leads of 14-8 and 24-14 after each of the first two periods of play. The hosts, however, countered with a 15-6 third quarter charge to pull within a point at 30-29 headed into the finale. Ohio Valley Christian managed to hold, thanks to a 13-12 spurt down the stretch, and ultimately secured the two-point decision. Chance Burleson led OVCS with 18 points and team-highs of 14 rebounds, six assists and four steals, while T.G. Miller added 14 points. Caleb McKitrick was next with four points, followed by Richard Bowman with three markers. Phil Hollingshead and Marshall Hood each added two points to round out the winning tally. Jamie Arnold paced Wood County Christian with a gamehigh 20 points. Things were as close on Friday night, as the Defenders jumped out to an early 16-5 advantage and never looked back. OVCS followed with a 16-8 second quarter run for a 32-13 cushion at the break, then went on a 16-6 surge in the third canto for a sizable 4819 lead headed into the finale. Pike Christian Academy went scoreless down the stretch, as Ohio Valley Christian scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth to wrap up the 46-point outcome. Caleb McKitrick led the Defenders with a double-double effort of 12 points and 11 re- bounds, followed by Richard Bowman with 11 points and Chance Burleson with 10 markers and five assists. T.G. Miller added nine points and six steals as well to the winning cause. Lukas Wells had seven points, Evan Bowman added six markers, and both Marshall Hood and Eric Blevins chipped in two points apiece. Will Rankin rounded out the winning tally with one point. Braden Bakenhaster paced the visiting Lions with 11 points.

Ravens edge 49ers Local teams fare well at sectional tourney draw 34-31 in electric Super Bowl game Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For a Super Bowl with so many story lines, this game came up with quite a twist. Try a blackout that turned a blowout into a shootout — capped by a brilliant defensive stand. The Baltimore Ravens survived a frenzied comeback by the San Francisco 49ers following a 34-minute delay in the third quarter for a power outage Sunday night, winning their second championship 34-31. Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco threw three first-half touchdown passes, Jacoby Jones ran back the second-half kickoff a record 108 yards for a score, and star linebacker Ray Lewis’ last play fittingly was part of a defensive effort that saved the victory. “To me, that was one of the most amazing goal-line stands I’ve ever been a part of in my career,” said Lewis, who announced a month ago he would retire when the Ravens were done playing. They are done now, with another Vince Lombardi Trophy headed for the display case. “What better way to do it,” Lewis said, “than on the Super Bowl stage?” That stage already was loaded with plots: —The coaching Harbaughs sibling rivalry, won by older brother John, who said the postgame greeting with Jim was “painful.” —Flacco’s emergence as a top-level quarterback, and his impending free agency. —Colin Kaepernick’s rapid rise in the last two months as 49ers QB. —The big game’s return to the Big Easy for the first time in 11 years, and the first time since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005. —Lewis’ self-proclaimed “last ride.” But when the Superdome lost power, well, that wasn’t in anyone’s scenario. Flacco and the Ravens (14-6) were turning the game into a rout, leading 28-6 when, without even a flicker of warning, several banks of lights and the scoreboards went dark. Players from both sides stretched and chatted with each other in as bizarre a scene as any Super Bowl has witnessed. “The bad part was we started talking about it,” said See RAVENS |‌ 8 JACKSON, Ohio — The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the roads for the southeast district tournament were paved Sunday afternoon at Jackson High School during the 2013 OHSAA Southeast District Girls Basketball Tournament selection meeting in the Apple City. Six area schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in those matchups. Four of the six programs will start the 2013 postseason needing to win at least two games to advance to districts, with Eastern and South Gallia being the only squads that would have to win one tournament game to achieve a sectional title. Only two of the six programs — Eastern and South Gallia — earned a seeding higher than four, although neither team is guaranteed anything by their rankings. The Lady Eagles came away with the top-seed and the Lady Rebels are the three-seed in the Division IV Athens bracket, and EHS is the only Ohio Valley Publishing area program with a No. 1 ranking.

Larry Roedel, a lawyer for the state board that oversees the Superdome, said Monday that the outage did not appear to be related to work done on the stadium’s electrical system in December. The work, approved by the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District last fall, replaced feeder equipment connecting the stadium to power provider Entergy New Orleans. Entergy and the company that manages the Superdome, SMG, said Sunday that an “abnormality” occurred where stadium equipment intersects with an Entergy electric feed, causing a breaker to create the outage. It remained unclear Monday exactly what the abnormality was or why it occurred. But Doug Thornton, manager of the Superdome, said called the outage an equipment error, not a human one. He said that when the power outage hit, meters indicated the stadium was drawing less power than it does during a typical New Orleans Saints game. The air conditioning system was running, he said, but on less power than it does in September. Thornton said millions of dollars have been spent upgrading electrical equipment in the building since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, and none of it failed. He said it was working properly when power was restored. He also said there is no evidence that the halftime show had anything to do with the outage, which struck early in the third quarter. He said the show used its own dedicated generator and wasn’t using the Superdome’s power supply. Mayor Mitch Landrieu told WWLAM (www.wwl.com) on Monday that the city still wants to make a bid to host the NFL’s championship game again in 2018 and that the outage won’t hurt its chances. Landrieu said league owners were impressed with the city’s performance as host and even joked that the game got better after the blackout. “”People were leaving and the game was getting boring, so we had See OUTAGE ‌| 8 �Tuesday, February 5, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Miscellaneous Jet Aeration Motors repaired, new & rebuilt in stock.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing RECREATIONAL VEHICLES �Tuesday, February 5, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 www.mydailysentinel.com Jacoby Jones saves best for Ravens’ Super win NEW ORLEANS (AP) — What a sensational way to close out the season for Jacoby Jones. The Baltimore Ravens’ All-Pro return man was at his best in the Super Bowl on Sunday, first hauling in a 56-yard touchdown pass and then amazing the Superdome crowd with a record 108yard kickoff return for a score — matching the longest play in NFL history in any game, regular or postseason. The scores put the Ravens way ahead before the 49ers rallied, but Baltimore held them off for a 34-31 win. And Jones did it in his hometown, where his mother cooked meals for the team during their stay in New Orleans. “It’s a great feeling man. It’s what you work for through the offseason,” said Jones. “Through the camp, many camps, through grind and sweat, the cold tub and the hot tubs — all of that has paid off right here.” The 6-foot-2, 212-pound speedster, who went to Lane College in Tennessee, set four Super Bowl records and equaled two others. He now has the marks for most combined yards (290), longest play, longest kickoff return and longest kickoff return for a touchdown. He had five kickoff returns for 206 yards, two punt returns for 28 yards and caught one pass for 56 yards. In the AFC title game two weeks earlier against Denver, Jones was on the receiving end of Joe Flacco’s 70-yard touchdown pass in the closing seconds that forced overtime and led to a Ravens double overtime victory. On his TD catch, Jones got behind Chris Culliver late in the first half and hauled in a pass from Joe Flacco before falling down. He quickly got back up and worked his way into the end zone for the score. He then opened the second half with his return to put the Ravens ahead 28-6. His favorite? “The passes,” he said. “It was just all the plays we ran through in practice. The line did a great job of blocking and Joe put up a decent throw for me to catch.” What about that return? “All year we’ve been running along the sideline on the return” said Jones. “They did not expect us to run it down the middle. … That’s my favorite return.” During the season, he averaged 30.7 yards on 38 kickoff returns, tops in NFL, and had two scores, one covering 108 yards. Jones was 5-7, 160 pounds — “with bricks in my pockets,” he said — when he graduated high school, walked on at Lane and said he just “took off.” “I’ve been an underdog all my life,” he said. Now he’ll get a Super Bowl ring. ——— CLOSE BUT NO LOMBARDI: The biggest comeback in Super Bowl history was 10 points. The San Francisco 49ers were on the verge of rallying from a 22-point deficit but fell short in a 34-31 loss to the Ravens. That allowed Baltimore to become the 21st Super Bowl winner to never trail in the game. Joe Flacco’s 13-yard TD pass to Anquan Boldin gave the Ravens a 7-0 lead early on, and the 49ers got as close as 31-29. The last wire-to-wire winner was Green Bay in its 31-25 win over Pittsburgh in the 2011 Super Bowl. ——— SOCIAL STATISTICS: Twitter kept its own Super Bowl stats, and following the game said there were about 22.1 million total tweets about the game and halftime show, including 5.5 million during Beyonce’s halftime performance. The players most mentioned on the site, in order, where Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco, Colin Kaepernick and Jacoby Jones. The subject that generated the most intense activity, generated in tweets per minute, was Beyonce’s halftime show, with the frequency of tweets rising as high as 268,000 per minute at the conclusion of the show. The power outage in the Superdome, which caused a 34-minute delay early in the third quarter, generated as many as 231,500 per minute, the most at any point other than halftime during the game. Jacoby Jones’ 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown generated 185,000 tweets per minute, even more than when the clock struck zero and the Ravens had won, which rose as high as 183,000 per minute. ——— SACK HAPPY: Ravens defensive end Paul Kruger found a unique way to celebrate the first of his two sacks Sunday night. After collaring 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Kruger waved his fingers and arms as if he was conducting an orchestra. “I’d like to be a maestro after I (retire),” he said with a grin. “That’s just what came to mind, I don’t know.” Kruger, who becomes a free agent during the offseason, finished with 4 sacks in the playoffs after getting nine during the regular season. His first one Sunday night forced the 49ers to settle for a field-goal try on their second possession. “I just got a good jump on it,” he said. “I’ve been working on getting off the ball fast, and I came around, was able to get around the guy and get the sack.” ——— CULLIVER’S DAY: 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver got beat by Anquan Boldin all night. “I don’t care if they was targeting me or not,” Culliver said. “They wasn’t getting open except for the deep plays.” Except for the fact the Ravens’ talented wideouts — along with MVP Joe Flacco — made the biggest difference in Baltimore’s 34-31 Super Bowl win. Boldin had six catches for 104 yards, including a 30-yarder in which he blew past Culliver late in the third quarter. That set up Justin Tucker’s 19-yard field goal early in the fourth. “Cully’s been a competitor,” linebacker Patrick Willis said. “He had a tough one, but I’m still behind him.” Culliver’s week began with anti-gay remarks at media day, then a Thursday news conference to apologize. He also signed up for sensitivity train- ing through an organization for homosexual youth. “He said what he said. He apologized. He moved on and the team moved on,” cornerback Carlos Rogers said. “I just told him, ‘Hey, keep your head up. Keep fighting.’ If you play that position, you’re going to give up lays. That’s just part of it.” ——— SUPERDOME DIFFICULTIES: The Superdome has been a tough place to play for San Francisco offensive lineman Alex Boon and Niners linebacker Larry Grant. The pair have now played in both a college national championship game and for a Super Bowl title in New Orleans, losing both times. Boone and Grant also were on the 2007-08 Ohio State squad that lost to LSU, 38-24, in the BCS title game. So pardon the pair if they don’t relate to the common New Orleans refrain, “Laissez les bon temps rouler,” which is Cajun French for, “Let the good times roll.” “It sucks to lose, especially in the last game of the year,” Boone said. “You always want to win the last one.” ——— TWO IN A ROW: Courtney Upshaw has this title thing down. The Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker added a Super Bowl title to the BCS championship he won last year with Alabama. And, not to be greedy, but he’s already dreaming of a three-peat. “It’s the NFL,” he said. “We want to get back to it next year.”rt. Outage From Page 6 to do a little something to spice it up,” he said. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said New Orleans was a terrific Super Bowl host and that the outage won’t affect future bids. “I fully expect that we will be back here for Super Bowls,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “And I hope we will be back. We want to be back.” Goodell also said the Superdome had a backup power system ready to go, and it was about to be used when the power started coming back on. The Superdome sits on a 52-acre former railroad yard in the business district. Though only a block from City Hall, the 76,000seat stadium and the adjacent New Orleans Arena are owned by the state, and the seven-member commission that oversees them is appointed by Gov. Bobby Jindal. The Superdome was built at a cost of $134 million and opened in 1975. It has been the home to the NFL’s New Orleans Saints since then. The first Super Bowl was played there in 1978. Sunday’s game was the seventh Super Bowl at the stadium, and the 10th overall for New Orleans. In 2005, Hurricane Ka- trina ripped off the Superdome roof as an estimated 30,000 people huddled inside. They waited, raindrenched, for days in the severe heat that followed the storm. On Sunday, officials were eager to show off how the city had been rebuilt since Katrina, and the week of activities leading up to the game was nearly perfect. New Orleans also is home to one of the largest convention centers in the country. Dr. Bjorn Hanson, dean of New York University’s Center for Hospitality and Sports Management, said Monday that the power outage shouldn’t hurt the city’s reputation as a convention destination. “I think people view it for what it was: An unusual event with a near-record power draw,” he said. “It was the equivalent of a cir- cuit breaker flipping.” The American Association of Neurological Surgeons will hold meetings in New Orleans from April 27 to May 1. Patty Anderson, director of meetings for the group, said she was unconcerned about the outage. “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “I never even gave it a second thought. To me, the city is bigger, stronger and more vibrant than it’s ever been.” Tourney From Page 6 The Lady Eagles (16-4) — a two-time reigning Division IV district champion — will face the winner of the 8-9 contest between Southern (5-14) and Federal Hocking (6-11) at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14, at Athens High School.

It was like they were trying to kill our momentum.” After power was restored, the 49ers began playing lights out. San Francisco (13-5-1), in search of its sixth Lombardi Trophy in as many tries, got back in the game almost immediately. Michael Crabtree’s 31yard touchdown reception, on which he broke two tackles, made it 28-13. A few minutes later, Frank Gore’s 6-yard run followed a 32-yard punt return by Ted Ginn Jr., and the 49ers were within eight. Ray Rice’s fumble at his 24 led to David Akers’ 34-yard field goal, but Baltimore woke up for a long drive leading to rookie Justin Tucker’s 19-yard field goal. San Francisco wasn’t done challenging, though, and Kaepernick’s 15-yard TD run, the longest for a quarterback in a Super Bowl, made it 31-29. A 2-point conversion pass failed when the Ravens blitzed. Tucker added a 38-yarder with 4:19 remaining, setting up the frantic finish. Kaepernick couldn’t get the 49ers into the end zone on the final three plays. The last was a pass into the right corner of the end zone to Crabtree that involved some incidental bumping. Jim Harbaugh insisted a flag should have been thrown. “There’s no question in my mind that there was a pass interference and then a hold,” Jim Harbaugh said. Ravens punter Sam Koch took a safety for the final score with 4 seconds left. Koch’s free kick was returned by Ginn to midfield as time ran out. “How could it be any other way? It’s never pretty. It’s never perfect. But it’s us,” John Harbaugh said of his Ravens. “It was us today.” Barely. “Yeah, I think that last drive when we got the ball and had time to go down and score a touchdown,” Kaepernick said, “we thought it was our game.” But the championship is Baltimore’s. As for the foul-up at America’s biggest sporting event, officials revealed that an “abnormality” in the power system triggered an automatic shutdown, forcing backup systems to kick in. But no one was sure what caused the initial problem. Everything changed after that until Lewis and Co. shut it down. But there were plenty of white-knuckle moments and the Ravens had to make four stops inside their 7 at the end. “I think it speaks to our resolve, speaks to our determination, speaks to our mental toughness,” John Harbaugh said. “That is what wins and loses games.” At 4 hours, 14 minutes, it was the longest Super Bowl ever. Flacco’s arrival as a championship quarterback — he had 11 postseason TD passes, tying a league mark, and no interceptions — coincides with Lewis’ retirement. The win capped a sensational four games since Lewis announced he was leaving the game after 17 Hall of Fame-caliber years. The Ravens will become Flacco’s team now, provided he reaches agreement on a new contract. Flacco’s three TD passes in the opening half tied a Super Bowl record. They covered 13 yards to Anquan Boldin, 1 to Dennis Pitta and 56 to Jones. That start boosted him to the MVP award. “They have to give it to one guy and I’m not going to complain that I got it,” Flacco said. John Harbaugh had no complaints about getting that other trophy named after that Green Bay coach. But he struggled to balance it with the disappointment his brother was feeling. “The meeting with Jim in the middle (of the field for the postgame handshake) was probably the most difficult thing I have ever been associated with in my life,” the Ravens coach said. The wild scoring made this the second championship in the NFL’s 80-year title game history in which both teams scored at least 30 points. Pittsburgh’s 3531 win over Dallas in 1979 was the other. The Ravens stumbled into the playoffs with four defeats in its last five regular-season games as Lewis recovered from a torn right triceps and Flacco struggled. Harbaugh even fired his offensive coordinator in December, a stunning move with the postseason so close. But that — and every other move Harbaugh, Flacco and the Ravens made since — were right on target. New Orleans native Jones, one of the stars in a double-overtime playoff win at Denver, seemed to put the game away with his record 108-yard sprint with the second-half kickoff. Soon after, the lights went out — and when they came back on, the Ravens were almost powerless to slow the 49ers. Until the final moments. “The final series of Ray Lewis’ career was a goalline stand,” Harbaugh said. Lewis was sprawled on all fours, face-down on the turf, after the end zone incompletion. “It’s no greater way, as a champ, to go out on your last ride with the men that I went out with, with my teammates,” Lewis said. “And you looked around this stadium and Baltimore! Baltimore! We coming home, baby! We did it!” Jim Harbaugh, the coach who turned around the Niners in the last two years and brought them to their first Super Bowl in 18 years, had seen his team make a similarly stunning comeback in the NFC championship at Atlanta, but couldn’t finish it off against Baltimore. “Our guys battled back to get back in,” the 49ers coach said. “I thought we battled right to the brink of winning.” The 49ers couldn’t have been sloppier in the first half, damaging their chances with penalties — including one on their first play that negated a 20-yard gain — poor tackling and turnovers. Rookie LaMichael James fumbled at the Baltimore 25 to ruin an impressive drive, and the Ravens converted that with Flacco’s 1-yard pass to Pitta for a 14-3 lead. On San Francisco’s next offensive play, Kaepernick threw behind Randy Moss and always dependable Reed picked it off. A huge scuffle followed that brought both Harbaughs onto the field and saw both sides penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness. Reed, also a New Orleans native, tied the NFL record for postseason picks with his ninth. Baltimore didn’t pounce on that mistake for points. Instead, Tucker’s fake field goal run on fourth-and-9 came up a yard short when Chris Culliver slammed him out of bounds. The Ravens simply shrugged, forced a threeand-out, and then unleashed Jones deep. Just as he did to Denver, he flashed past the secondary and caught Flacco’s fling. He had to wait for the ball, fell to the ground to grab it, but was untouched by a Niner. Up he sprang, cutting left and using his speed to outrun two defenders to the end zone. Desperate for some points, the 49ers completed four passes and got a 15-yard roughing penalty against Haloti Ngata, who later left with a knee injury. But again they couldn’t cross the goal line, Paul Kruger got his second sack of the half on third down, forcing a second field goal by Akers, from 27 yards. When Jones began the second half by sprinting up the middle virtually untouched — he is the second player with two TDs of 50 yards or more in a Super Bowl, tying Washington’s Ricky Sanders in 1988 — the rout was on. Then it wasn’t. “Everybody had their hand on this game,” 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis said. “We point the fingers at nobody. We win together and we lose together, and today we lost it.” �Tuesday, February 5, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, February 5, 2013 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013: This year you emphasize your long-term goals.

Indiana moves back into No. 1 in AP poll For the fifth straight week there is a new No. 1 in ’ college basketball poll. This time it’s Indiana. The Hoosiers, the preseason No. 1 who held the top spot for the first five weeks of the regular season, moved up two places Monday, following their weekend win over No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Kansas’ loss to Oklahoma State. Duke started the current streak of new No. 1s and was followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana. The last time there were five No. 1s in as many weeks was the last five polls of 2008-09 when it was Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Connecticut again, North Carolina and Louisville. The Hoosiers received 58 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel while Florida, which jumped two spots to second, got the other seven. Michigan fell to third and was followed by Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga, Arizona, Miami, Syracuse and Ohio State. There were four newcomers to the poll this week: Georgetown, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame, all of whom were ranked at some point this season. They replaced Wichita State and Mississippi, which both lost two games last week and fell from 15th and 16th, North Carolina State, which was No. 6 in the preseason poll and also lost twice last week, and San Diego State. With the return of Georgetown, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame the Big East has seven teams ranked in the Top 25, two more than the Big Ten. Akron beats Ohio 86-72 in MAC leaders’ showdown AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Alex Abreu had 21 points and nine assists to lead Akron past Ohio 86-72 Saturday night in a meeting of the Mid-American Conference’s two unbeaten teams. The Zips (17-4, 8-0), the defending MAC regularseason champion, won their 13th consecutive game, the longest streak in Division I after Kansas lost Saturday to Oklahoma State. Zeke Marshall and Demetrius Treadwell contributed double-doubles for Akron. Marshall had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Treadwell 15 points and 10 rebounds. The Bobcats (15-6, 6-1), who had won seven straight, beat Akron in their last meeting, last season’s MAC tournament final. Abreu’s 10 points in the final 10 minutes before halftime helped the Zips outscore the Bobcats 31-13 after trailing 23-10. Nick Kellogg scored 15 points for Ohio and D.J. Cooper had 14 points and six assists. Cooper passed Grayson Marshall (Clemson, 1984-88) for 19th on the all-time Division I assists list and now has 861. Marshall outlasts UCF 75-71, snaps 3-game skid HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Elijah Pittman led four starters in double figures with 20 points and Nigel Spikes scored 10 of his 11 points in the second half of Marshall’s 75-71 win over Central Florida on Saturday. D.D. Scarver, the only Conference USA player to make at least one 3-pointer in every game, added 16 points for Marshall (10-12, 3-4) and Dennis Tinnon had 13. DeAndre Kane dished out 12 assists for Marshall, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Spikes, who had just one point in the first half, broke a 55-all tie with four straight free throws with just over 6 minutes remaining. The center sandwiched two layups around two Scarver free throws to put Marshall up for good, 68-64, with 1:16 left to play. Keith Clanton had 24 points and nine rebounds for UCF (15-6, 5-2) but had six of the Knights’ 12 turnovers. UCF had its four-game winning streak snapped. Ohio State ex-star pleads not guilty in shooting COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State football star Jim Stillwagon has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of firing shots at another driver during a road rage incident last year. A prosecutor’s spokeswoman says 63-year-old Stillwagon pleaded not guilty Monday to four fe- lonious assault counts in Delaware County, north of Columbus. A hearing to set a trial date is scheduled April 8. Police say Stillwagon was on a motorcycle and fired shots at the driver of a pickup truck Sept. 30. One shot grazed the 41-year-old man’s head. Stillwagon was legally carrying the gun. His attorney has said he fired in self-defense. The college Hall of Fame middle guard helped the Buckeyes to a national championship in 1968.

LB Brandon Joiner joins Bengals after prison term CINCINNATI (AP) — Rookie linebacker Brandon Joiner has been activated by the Cincinnati Bengals after completing a prison term. The Bengals signed Joiner out of Arkansas State as an undrafted free agent last year, knowing he would be going to prison in Texas over a robbery that led to his indictment in 2008. He was placed on a reserve list and missed all of last season while completing his sentence. Joiner is out of prison and was reinstated on Monday. He can work out with the team. Cincinnati finished 10-6 this season, and advanced to the AFC playoffs for the second time in as many years. Ex-NASCAR driver leads police in 2-state chase ST.

Doug Kapustin | MCT photo Baltimore Ravens free safety Ed Reed and linebacker, Ray Lewis watch a replay that overturns a Steelers touchdown during the second half of their game on Sunday, November 6, 2011, won by Baltimore 23-20 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Lewis ends NFL career in championship fashion NEW ORLEANS (AP) — So, Ray Lewis, now that you’ve won a Super Bowl, what’s next? No, he’s not going to that amusement park. The Baltimore Ravens linebacker is heading into retirement — and he can’t wait. “Now I get to see a different side of life,” Lewis said Sunday night after helping the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31. “My family, and my sons, my kids, they’ve sacrificed for me. Now I have the opportunity to sacrifice for them.” Lewis ended his 17-year NFL career in perfect fashion, directing a successful goal-line stand that provided him a world championship to take into retirement. After the 49ers failed to score on three straight plays from the Baltimore 5-yard line in the closing minutes, the Ravens could begin celebrating their first Super Bowl title in 12 years. “How else can you finish that off but with a goal-line stand?” Lewis said. “That is championship football.” The 13-time Pro Bowl star began his final night on the football field with a motivational speech to his teammates. He ended it looking upward into a waterfall of silver streamers and purple confetti. And minutes later, he put his hands on the Lombardi Trophy. “What we did as a team today was the ultimate,” Lewis said. As an individual, Lewis made seven tackles. Nothing special, really. He had 44 in Baltimore’s previous three playoff games. But the Ravens played like champions behind Lewis, and as usual, they drew inspiration from him. “There will never be another leader like him and we sent him out like his brothers,” Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs. “His legacy will go untainted.” The last time Lewis played in a Super Bowl, he was voted MVP of Baltimore’s 34-7 rout of the New York Giants. This time, Joe Flacco was the MVP because the Ravens’ offense outplayed the team’s usually reliable defense. Ever since Lewis announced on Jan. 2 that this would be his “last ride,” the Ravens have talked about providing him a title to take into retirement. And so they did. “It’s pretty cool,” Flacco said. “Ray’s a great person and everyone knows he’s an unbelievable player, but he’s the best teammate. It’s unbelievable to send him out like this.” What a journey it was. After defeating Indianapolis at home to open the playoffs, the Ravens beat top-seeded Denver on the road and knocked off second-seeded New England. Then, underdogs again in the Super Bowl, Baltimore blew most of a 22-point lead in the second half before mounting one final defensive stop. “To me, that was one of the most amazing goal-line stands I’ve ever been a part of in my career,” Lewis said. “What better way to do it than on the Super Bowl stage?” Lewis’ old buddy, 34-year-old Ed Reed, contributed a first-half interception. Jacoby Jones scored two touchdowns, and after the second — a 108-yard kickoff return to open the third quarter — he saluted his retiring teammate with a rendition of the “squirrel” dance Lewis made famous. Days earlier, Lewis was confronted about his use of deer antler spray in his effort to return from the triceps injury. He vehemently denied trying the banned substance, and that sideshow fizzled out quickly enough so that it was not a distraction Sunday. The Ravens will have another middle linebacker next season, but they will never have another Ray Lewis. Coach John Harbaugh was asked why the team responded so passionately to him and his effort to go out on top. Parcells, Sapp, Carter among 7 Hall inductees NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Bill Parcells was a winner everywhere he coached. Time and time again, he took over struggling franchises and showed them what it takes to be a success, including a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants. Parcells pulled off another victory Saturday — election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Getting in on his fourth try, Parcells led an induction class that also included mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen. The class of 2013 also included a pair of senior selections, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson. The announcement was made in New Orleans, site of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Almost as noteworthy were the finalists who didn’t get in, including running back Jerome Bettis and owners Art Modell and Edward DeBartolo Jr. Transfer Any Prescription Players and coaches from the Baltimore Ravens, who will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, spent all week lobbying for Modell, their former owner who died last year, to claim a place in the hall. It didn’t work out, no doubt pleasing fans in Cleveland who remain bitter about Modell moving the original Browns to Baltimore. Parcells had to wait a while, earning a bust in Canton on his fourth try. He thought he might get in the previous year in tandem with one of his former players, Curtis Martin. “It was a little less stressful than last year,” Parcells said in a telephone interview from Florida. “I was kind of hoping we could do it together, but as fate would have it, it didn’t work out.” Giants president and CEO John Mara said Parcells’ selection for the hall was “long overdue,” but his candidacy stirred plenty of debate — a one-hour discussion among the selection committee members, by far & Wait Time for Single Prescription LESS THAN 15 Min. the longest amount of time dedicated to any finalist. “He’s one of the best coaches in NFL history,” Mara said. “He turned our franchise around. We went through a long period in the 1960’s and 70’s when we were a laughingstock. When Bill took over in 1983, he survived a very difficult first year, but then turned us into a perennial playoff contender and won two Super Bowls for us. He coached three other teams and everywhere he went, he had great success.” No one was more emotional than Carter, who took six years to get in despite putting up some of the best receiving numbers in NFL history. He broke down in tears but quickly pointed out “it’s not because I’m sad.” “This is the happiest day of my life,” he said. “When people said, ‘Aw, you know, it really doesn’t matter, you’re a Hall of Famer in my eyes,’ I said, ‘It’s more important that I’m a Hall of Famer in the Hall’s eyes.’ And I really, really wanted this. “ Receive a 10 $ Gift Card 112 E. Main St. Pomeroy, Ohio 740-992-2955 60390833 Sapp said his stomach was churning all day. He doesn’t have to fret anymore. Next stop, Canton. “My feet haven’t touched the ground in about 30 minutes,” Sapp said. “This is unbelievable.” In addition to Bettis, four other players failed to get in on the final vote: Charles Haley, Andre Reed, Michael Strahan and Aeneas Williams. Earlier in the day, the selection committee eliminated DeBartolo and Modell, as well as explayers Tim Brown, Kevin Greene and Will Shields. Parcells reversed the fortunes of four teams, also coaching the New England Patriots, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, during 19 years as a head coach. He finished with a record of 172-130-1, most notably leading the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. He led the Patriots to the Super Bowl after the 1996 season. Patriots owner Robert Kraft saluted Parcells’ election. “It is well deserved,” he said in a statement released by the team. “As a Patriots fan, I will always appreciate the credibility he brought to our franchise as a two-time Super Bowl champion. We had never had a head coach with those credentials. I am very happy for Bill and look forward to his enshrinement ceremonies.” Jets owner Woody Johnson echoed Kraft. “Bill Parcells infused new life into this franchise on many levels,” he said. “From acquiring players like Curtis Martin to bringing back a winning culture, we will always be grateful to Bill for his contributions to the New York Jets.” Sapp got in on his first year of eligibility after playing 13 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders. He amassed 96 career sacks despite playing on the interior of the defensive line, including double-digit sack totals in four seasons. He was the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year after helping Tampa Bay claim its first division title in 18 years. Carter played 16 seasons, becoming only the second player in NFL history to reach 1,000 receptions in a career. He caught at least 70 passes in 10 seasons, and totaled 130 touchdown receptions from 13 passers. Allen played 203 games over 14 seasons, spending the bulk of his career with the Cowboys. He played every position on the offensive line except center and was a first-team All-Pro seven straight seasons. Ogden played a dozen seasons with the Ravens, a lineman who led the way for Jamal Lewis to become just the fifth running back in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Ogden was a six-time All-Pro and was voted to 11 Pro Bowls. Like Sapp, Allen and Ogden were first-year selections. Ogden shared the moment with his family. He called his mother “first thing,” and also told his 7-year-old son. “He’s real proud of his dad,” Ogden said. He watched nervously as the announcement was made on the Class of 2013. “It’s like going to the hospital with your wife to have a baby. You can’t do anything about it,” Ogden said. “You hear everybody say you’re a first ballot for sure, but you never really know. A lot of good well deserving guys didn’t get in on the first ballot.” “When I got drafted (by Dallas), they’d just won a Super Bowl,” Allen said. “When they threw me in, I just didn’t want to be the one to mess it up.” His philosophy never changed over his long career: make the guy across from him “quit … tap out.” He joins three other players from that great Cowboys offense of the 1990s in the hall, following Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
