Ortman, along with Bryan Shank and Nancy Schartiger, spoke before council during the meeting with regard to the reasons they should be selected to fill the vacant seat on council. Ortman is the Executive Director of the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce and also the Tourism Director for Meigs County. He spoke about the work he has done with the agencies and to benefit the area. Shank stated that he had previously served two four-year terms of council and was interested in filling the vacancy. Schartiger described herself as an 11-year resident of Pomeroy who wanted to help the village move forward. Following each of the individuals turn to speak council members were given the opportunity to ask questions. Some questions asked included experience with grant work and potential conflicts which may arise in filling duties of a council member. Council member Ruth Spaun then made a motion to appoint Shank to the seat, with a second on the motion by Vic Young. Spaun and Young voted yes, with council members Robert Payne, Dru Reed and Phil Ohlinger voting no. Reed then made the motion to appoint Ortman, with a second on the motion by Payne. Ortman was ap- pointed by a 3-2 vote, with Payne, Reed, and Ohlinger voting yes. Ortman was then issued the oath of office by acting Mayor Jackie Welker. After filling the vacancy, the position of President of Council was filled. Payne nominated Spaun to serve as president, with a second by Reed. Spaun was elected president by a 5-0 vote. The open seat was held by Welker who had served as President of Council, leaving not only the vacant seat on council, but the vacancy in the president position. Welker is now acting mayor following the resignation of former Mayor Mary McAngus. McAngus’ resignation was accepted during the Feb. 11 regular meeting of council.

Teen charged in Ohio school Senate clears the shooting pleads guilty CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — A teenager charged with killing three students at an Ohio high school pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of aggravated murder and other charges. T.J. Lane, now 18, also pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted aggravated murder and a single count of felonious assault. The plea came one day short of the first anniversary of the attacks at Chardon High School. Lane, dressed in a green open-collar shirt and dark slacks with his once-shaggy hair buzzed short, held his head up without emotion as he repeatedly said, “Yes, your honor,” to questions posed to him by the judge. He could face life in prison. Judge David Fuhry scheduled sentencing for March 19. 60396928 Lane wasn’t subject to the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crimes. Geauga County Prosecutor James Flaiz said the plea provided the same outcome that he wanted from a trial. Families of the victims agreed that Lane should face life in prison, he said. Flaiz said he was prepared to present a motive at trial but declined to specify it. Two wounded survivors and parents of most of the victims watched Lane’s plea. Bob Parmertor, father of Danny Parmertor, 16, who was killed, said after the plea that he felt justice would be done if Lane “will never see daylight again” outside prison. “We’re just very glad it’s not going to trial,” he said. Lane’s grandmother, weeping quietly, sat arm’s length from Nick Walczak, who was rolled into court in a wheelchair. Walczak, who was crippled in the attack, shifted his eyes to Lane as the attempted aggravated murder charge detailing his case was read by the judge. Lane was determined to take responsibility, his attorney said after the court session. “T.J.’s plea of guilty is a complete admission to each and every element of each and every charge, every crime,” defense attorney Ian Friedman said. “It is hoped that the decision will bring closure to what has been a tragic year for the victims, their families and loved ones, T.J.’s family and the entire community both near and far.” way for of Hagel WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate cleared the way Tuesday for confirmation of Chuck Hagel to be the nation’s next defense secretary after Republicans dropped their unprecedented delay of President Barack Obama’s choice to head the Pentagon. On a vote of 71-27, the Senate ended a Republican filibuster, setting the stage for the widely expected confirmation of the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska later in the day. Eighteen Republicans joined 51 Democrats and two independents to move forward with the contentious nomination. If confirmed, Hagel would succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and join Obama’s retooled national security team of Secretary of State John Kerry and CIA Director-designate John Brennan. Hagel’s nomination bitterly split the Senate, with Republicans turning on their former GOP colleague and Democrats standing by Obama’s nominee. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asked what the filibuster had done for “my Republican colleagues.” “Twelve days later, nothing. Nothing has changed,” the Nevada Democrat said on the Senate floor. “Sen. Hagel’s exemplary record of service to his country remains untarnished.” Reid blamed partisanship over Obama’s choice for the delay. Both Reid and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., warned that it was imperative to act just days before automatic, across-the-board budget cuts hit the Pentagon. “The Pentagon needs a seasoned leader to implement those cuts,” Reid said. Republicans argued that while Hagel served with distinction in Vietnam — Sen. Jim Inhofe called him a “hero” — his record on Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons disqualified him for the top Pentagon job. Last week, 15 Republican senators sent a letter to Obama asking him to withdraw the Hagel nomination. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., cited Hagel’s at-times halting testimony at his confirmation hearing and his misstatement that the U.S. has a policy of containment toward Iran rather than thwarting Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. “He has an embarrassing lack of knowledge about our policy toward Iran,” Coats said. In the course of the rancorous, seven-week nomination fight, Republicans, led by freshman Sen. Ted Cruz and Inhofe, have insinuated that Hagel has a cozy relationship with Iran and received payments for speeches from extreme or radical groups. Those comments have drawn a rebuke from Democrats and some Republicans. �Wednesday, February 27, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Death Notices Birchfield Kenneth R.

Casino gearing up for opening next week Council From Page 1 down to do the corrective work. Village Administrator Faymon Roberts said that the village has about 20 miles of water line in the village and commented that the water loss is costly. Council voted unanimously to purchase the leak detecting device at a cost of $3,064 which Gerlach reported has no maintenance involved and will save the village much money in the long run. A report was given on the number of days housing prisoners during 2012 and the money paid by outside law enforcement agencies, the totals were 3,881 days with $220.235 paid for housing for 2012. In January 2013, 71 prisoners were held for a total of 578 days at a total amount billed of $34,710. The increase in prisoners started when the Middleport Village moved from the old facility on Race Street into the newly renovated quarters on Pearl Street in late March. The mayor noted that he had been contacted by a company which leases land owned by the Jay Hall family near where Leading Creek flows into the Ohio River. He said a private company is growing corn on the leased lot and has offered to lease the adjacent village owned patch of several acres for the same purpose. The pros and cons along with lease specifics were discussed with the mayor to further investigate before Council comes to any decision. Councilman Craig Wehrung reported that he is in the process of working on the General Jim Hartinger signs at the entrances to the village. He said that the old signs are beyond repair and volunteered to make new ones. Susan Baker, financial officer, read a list of salary increases for the police department which go into effect next month. An executive session was held following the regular meeting to further consider employee compensation. Council members attending were Wehrung, Sandy Brown, Rae Moore, Penny Burge, Roger Manley and Emerson Heighton. CINCINNATI (AP) — Cocktail servers in red bustiers and short, black skirts carried around cocktails, dealers practiced taking chips and doling out winnings, and slot machines chimed as the last of four voter-approved casinos in Ohio geared up Tuesday for its opening in less than a week. Minus the gamblers, the $400 million Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati looked every bit like a fully functioning casino during a preview for members of the media. “Bring the dice in! What are you waiting for?” yelled a supervisor at a craps table where dealers took turns pretending to gamble and testing themselves. They mimicked what a real craps table will be like, with clapping, cheers of “Woo hoo!” and plenty of shouting. Each seminar will have light refreshments, giveaways, and great prizes and is offered to the public at no cost. At the end of the year, all attendees who complete a survey will be entered into a drawing to win $1,000 cash.

Teacher From Page 1 have happened in a classroom at PPJ/SHS. The complaint does not state what preceded this “wrestling” or what caused this situation to even begin. According to the complaint, this wrestling/choking got “out of control” and Jones, as the adult, allegedly continued in the activity until the juvenile’s face turned red and his airway was cut off. In addition, students in the classroom are cit- ed as telling Jones to stop, again according to the complaint. Cpl. F.O. Terry with the sheriff’s department is the lead investigator on the case and noted in the complaint, “While the juvenile was not seriously injured in the altercation, it is apparent the risk of serious injury or perhaps death could have resulted from his actions.” The above was cited as reason for the felony child abuse causing risk of injury charge. The misdemeanor battery charge is contained in a separate criminal complaint which alleges while engaged in the wrestling match with the juvenile, Jones struck the student in the nose but denied doing this on purpose. According to the minutes of a Mason County Board of Education (BOE) meeting on Oct. 9, 2012, Jones was employed as a Mathematics Interventionist at PPJ/SHS. His employment was approved at this meeting and was effective on Oct. 11, 2012. As of Tuesday afternoon, Ma- 60386725 son County Schools Superintendent Suzanne Dickens released no further information on the incident or how the BOE plans to handle it or the recent arrest of substitute teacher James Hadinger. Dickens said the matters would not be addressed during Tuesday evening’s regularly scheduled meeting. Dickens reiterated the previously released statement which is as follows: “Confidentiality requirements prevent me from commenting upon or discussing any allegations of employee misconduct. In the event disciplinary action is taken against an employee by the Board, further information will be disclosed. However, I can say that anytime the district is confronted with allegations relating to the safety and welfare of students, the allegations are taken seriously, thoroughly investigated and that measures are taken to ensure that students are safe and not exposed to any continuing risk of harm.” 60391227 �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Chinese hackers seen as Dreams of gas riches fading for NY landowners increasingly professional Mary Esch The Associated Press Christopher Bodeen The Associated Press BEIJING — Beijing hotly denies accusations of official involvement in massive cyberattacks against foreign targets, insinuating such activity is the work of rogues. But at least one piece of evidence cited by experts points to professional cyberspies: China’s hackers don’t work weekends. Accusations of statesanctioned hacking took center stage this past week following a detailed report by a U.S.-based Internet security firm Mandiant. It added to growing suspicions that the Chinese military is not only stealing national defense secrets and harassing dissidents but also pilfering information from foreign companies that could be worth millions or even billions of dollars. Experts say Chinese hacking attacks are characterized not only by their brazenness, but by their persistence. “China conducts at least an order of magnitude more than the next country,” said Martin Libicki, a specialist on cyber warfare at the Rand Corporation, based in Santa Monica, California. The fact that hackers take weekends off suggests they are paid, and that would belie “the notion that the hackers are private,” he said. Libicki and other cyber warfare experts have long noted a Monday-throughFriday pattern in the intensity of attacks believed to come from Chinese sources, though there has been little evidence released publicly directly linking the Chinese military to the attacks. Mandiant went a step further in its report Tuesday saying that it had traced hacking activities against 141 foreign enti- ties in the U.S. Canada, Britain and elsewhere to a group of operators known as the “Comment Crew” or “APT1,” for “Advanced Persistent Threat 1,” which it traced back to the People’s Liberation Army Unit 61398. The unit is headquartered in a nondescript 12-story building inside a military compound in a crowded suburb of China’s financial hub of Shanghai. Attackers stole information about pricing, contract negotiations, manufacturing, product testing and corporate acquisitions, the company said. Hacker teams regularly began work, for the most part, at 8 a.m. Beijing time. Usually they continued for a standard work day, but sometimes the hacking persisted until midnight. Occasionally, the attacks stopped for two-week periods, Mandiant said, though the reason was not clear. China denies any official involvement, calling such accusations “groundless” and insisting that Beijing is itself a major victim of hacking attacks, the largest number of which originate in the U.S. While not denying hacking attacks originated in China, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Thursday that it was flat out wrong to accuse the Chinese government or military of being behind them. Mandiant and other experts believe Unit 61398 to be a branch of the PLA General Staff’s Third Department responsible for collection and analysis of electronic signals such as e-mails and phone calls. It and the Fourth Department, responsible for electronic warfare, are believed to be the PLA units mainly responsible for infiltrating and manipulating computer networks.

China has consistently denied state-sponsored hacking, but experts say the office hours that the cyberspies keep point to a professional army rather than mere hobbyists or so-called “hacktivists” inspired by patriotic passions. Mandiant noticed that pattern while monitoring attacks on the New York Times last year blamed on another Chinese hacking group it labeled APT12. Hacker activity began at around 8:00 a.m. Beijing time and usually lasted through a standard workday. The Rand Corporation’s Libicki said he wasn’t aware of any comprehensive studies, but that in such cases, most activity between malware embedded in a compromised system and the malware’s controllers takes place during business hours in Beijing’s time zone. Richard Forno, director of the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s graduate cybersecurity program, and David Clemente, a cybersecurity expert with independent analysis center Chatham House in London, said that observation has been widely noted among cybersecurity specialists. “It would reflect the idea that this is becoming a more routine activity and that they are quite methodical,” Clemente said. BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — When word spread about the potential natural gas riches of the Marcellus Shale, Kimberly More saw it as the hope for saving her horse farm. She figured that leasing her 170 acres to a drilling company could bring an upfront bonus of nearly half a million dollars, plus a monthly royalty when gas starts to flow, enough to pay for a new house, a new barn and her own riding business. “I have three young girls. My husband left,” More said. “I don’t want to be on social services. I want to take care of my family with my own land.” But five years later, her natural gas dreams and those of thousands of other New York landowners have faded to frustration as a decision languishes on whether the state should allow fracking, the process of extracting gas by drilling horizontally through the shale and breaking it apart with chemically treated water. They’re waiting for environmental studies about the potential for groundwater contamination. They’re waiting for drilling rules and regulations to be drawn up. And most of all, they’re waiting for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make up his mind on whether to lift a moratorium on fracking. The latest delay came when the Cuomo administration announced earlier this month that more time was needed to study potential health impacts. That means the Department of Environmental Conservation won’t make Wednesday’s deadline to adopt proposed regulations, which will have to be resubmitted and subjected to public hearings and comment. Decisions once thought to be right around the corner have been delayed for weeks that turned into months and years. Hopes to pay off crushing debt, repair barn roofs, replace old tractors, create good jobs locally so the kids don’t have to move away, and just ease some of the chronic worry about making ends meet on the family farm have been put in limbo. Some New York landowners fear their golden opportunity has already passed them by because the glut of gas from drilling in other states has brought gas prices way down, reducing the likelihood of big upfront lease-signing bonuses. Other landowners who don’t want gas leases welcome Cuomo’s caution and hope fracking never gets approved. Their ranks include many organic farmers, vineyard owners, tourist business operators and town residents who agree with environmental groups that the risks of air and water contamination outweigh the financial benefits. While More waits for a natural gas payday that may never come, she has had to borrow money to pay her property taxes.

But she’s now on the brink of losing her farm in Otego, 73 miles southwest of Albany. “When they say a few more weeks’ delay isn’t causing people hardship, they’re wrong,” More said. “I’m probably going to lose my land to taxes because they wanted to dicker around for two or three more weeks. They’ve been studying this for five years. Enough is enough.” Dave Johnson, who has a 30-acre pickyour-own apple farm on his mostly wooded 400 acres in Binghamton, said gas drilling money would allow him to replace some worn-out equipment like the tractor that he has to start with a screwdriver. But even more important to him is keeping struggling farms in business through an additional income, and creating new jobs for the next generation. “Our young people are leaving us,” Johnson said. “At Farm Bureau meetings, everybody’s got white hair.” New Yorkers have watched other states that sit atop the Marcellus Shale — Ohio, West Virginia and most tantalizingly Pennsylvania just across state lines — ride the fracking boom and suck away at the profit potential of the world’s largest natural gas deposit. A market glut of natural gas has pushed the wholesale price from as high as $12 per thousand cubic feet five years ago to less than $2.50 over the past year. Energy companies have responded by dialing back well production to wait for the market to improve. Some New York landowners signed lucrative leases with energy companies before the market and the state’s regulatory climate soured. About 50 landowners in Broome County received signing bonuses of $5,500 per acre under a deal negotiated jointly with hundreds of Pennsylvania landowners in 2009. New York’s landowner coalitions are still trying to market leases but fear low gas prices will make large signing bonuses unlikely. “New York landowners will never recover the revenue that’s been lost,” said Nick Schoonover, a retired engineer who owns a 75-acre tree farm and heads the Tioga County Landowners Group. “Back in 2009, the market was supporting leases at $4,000 to $5,000 an acre and royalties of 20 percent. That wave has passed. You’re never going to see that again.” Kevin Frisbie, a livestock feed producer in the town of Spencer who makes frequent trips across the state line to Pennsylvania, said farmers there who were getting $10,000 a month in royalties are now getting a mere $1,500 because of the lower wholesale price and reduced production. But that’s $1,500 more than he’s getting from the shale beneath his 120 acres.

The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team appeared to have its season come to end Friday night following a 56-42 setback to host High Street Christian Academy, but it was later discovered that HSCA used an ineligible player for most of the season — allowing OVCS to claim a forfeit victory in the OCSAA Southeast Regional Final held in Franklin County. The Defenders (13-8) received word on Monday that they were declared the Southeast Regional champions because of the forfeit, which allows OVCS to continue its season into the OCSAA Final Four at Ohio Christian University in Circleville later this weekend. Ohio Valley Christian will face Toledo Emmanuel Christian in a state semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday at OCU. According to an email issued Monday from OVCS athletic director Jeff Patrick, the Defenders were declared the winners by the OCSAA after it was found that one of the players at High Street Christian was actually a 2012 graduate of Peebles High School. As for the actual game Friday night, the Crusaders jumped out to an early 21-14 advantage and never looked back, as the hosts shot 50 percent from the field in the 14-point outcome. HSCA led 33-28 at the intermission and 39-31 after three quarters of play, then made a 17-11 run down the stretch to secure the double-digit decision. OVCS netted 15-of-40 field goal attempts for 38 percent, including a 4-of-17 effort from three-point territory for 24 percent. The guests also sank 8-of-11 free throw attempts for 73 percent. T.G. Miller led the Defenders with 19 points, followed by Evan Bowman with 13 points and Chance Burleson with five markers. Richard Bowman and Phil Hollingshead rounded out the respective scoring with three and two points. The Crusaders were 15-of-30 from the field overall, including a 8-of-16 effort from three-point range for 50 percent. The hosts were also 18-of-26 at the charity stripe for 69 percent.

Devils’ Tawney advances to state wrestling meet Meigs, RVHS seasons come to an end at districts Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com The streak continues for Gallia Academy wrestling. For the fourth consecutive postseason, the Blue Devils will have at least one grappler advancing to the OHSAA state tournament following the conclusion of this weekend’s Division II district championships at Goshen High School in Clermont County. Cole Tawney became the ninth Blue Devil in program history to earn a trip to the state level, as the sophomore finished fourth overall in the 120-pound weight class with a 3-2 overall record. Tawney also becomes only the second sophomore in school history to qualify for the state tournament, joining Ben Doolittle (2002) as the program’s youngest advancees. Tawney won his first two matches by decision against Dominic Vagnier of Clermont Northeast (12-4) and Devin Rogers of Northwestern (11-6), but then dropped his semifinal contest against Kole Trigg of Washington Court House by a 20-2 count. Tawney earned his first pinfall win of the weekend in the consolation semifinal against Bryson Laytart of Miami Trace, putting him in the third-place match. Lyle Plummer of Dayton Chaminade Julienne scored a 7-0 decision in that consolation final, leaving Tawney with fourth place overall. While Tawney’s season continues on to Columbus, three other Blue Devils had their prep careers come to a close at districts. Seniors Mark Allen, Briggs Shoemaker and Scott Warren each earned at least one win at the tournament, but all three ultimately came up short in their bids for one of the four state spots available in each weight class.

Point Pleasant came out playing efficient on both sides of the ball in the third period, and it led to a 19-to-7 third period spurt. The Red Dragon offense went to work in the fourth period, scoring 27 points over eight minutes, a task they failed to do over the first 24. PPHS marked 20 in the fourth period to seal the 67-53 victory. “It feels good to get that first one under our belt,” Point Pleasant coach Josh Williams said. “We are gonna celebrate this one for a little bit but then we have to get prepared because we have a tough one ahead.” The Big Blacks were led by Dillon McCarty with 21 points, including 17 in the second half. Alex Somerville marked 14 points in the game while Wade Martin finished with 13.

Branin Natatorium on the campus of Canton McKinley High School in Stark County. Wolfe — a three-year state qualifier — posted the fastest times of his respective career in both the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle events, which ended up being good enough for 20 points and a four-way tie for 30th place on the team scoreboard. Wolfe’s efforts allowed the Raiders to finish even with Bay Village, Cuyahoga Heights and Youngstown Ursuline for the 30th spot, and a total of 58 teams scored at least one point at the Division II meet. Wolfe earned 13 points and the second podium finish of his career in the 200 freestyle, posting a sixth-place time of 1:43.27. It is the highestever finish for Wolfe at the state level and the second podium finish for Wolfe in this event.

Eager Kekalainen focused on Blue Jackets’ future COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jarmo Kekalainen was a couple of minutes late for his first news conference as the Columbus Blue Jackets’ new general manager. “I apologize for being a little late,” he said sheepishly. “I got lost in the building. Trying to find my way around.” Now the former Ottawa Senators and St. Louis Blues executive is charged with the task of guiding the floundering Blue Jackets from the depths of the NHL. He has a clear opinion on how he wants to do that. “I believe in fast hockey, I believe in quick hockey, not only in terms of skating, but thinking and the instincts for the game,” he said. “Character, heart and instincts and hockey sense are going to be the key things we’re going to be looking at when we’re scouting players, whether it’s pros or amateurs. Because I think that translates best to fast hockey.” The 46-year-old Kekalainen inherits a Blue Jack- ets team that has made the playoffs just once in its 11 previous seasons (200809) and has never won a postseason game. Columbus had the worst record in the NHL a year ago and is back in the basement again this season. The Blue Jackets are just 5-12-2 for 12 points so far, and have scored fewer goals than all but one team (Minnesota) in the 30team league. Kekalainen, hired last week to replace Scott Howson who was fired after 5-plus years as GM, joined the team last week for the final three games of a sixgame road trip. He said he saw some things he liked, despite being on hand for two one-goal losses along with a last-minute, 3-2 victory at Detroit on Thursday night in his first game with the team. “We’ve worked hard as a team,” he said. “There’s a lot of positive things you can build on.” Todd Richards is in his first full year as coach after taking over midway through last season when Scott Arniel was fired. He was brought aboard by Howson and is still in the primary stages of getting to know Kekalainen. “It’s still a feeling-out period, but we’re starting to have that dialogue that coaches and general managers have,” Richards said on Tuesday after his club’s morning skate. John Davidson, the Blue Jackets’ president of hockey operations who worked with Kekalainen in St. Louis, has also been pleased with how hard the current club is playing. But he said that is nothing to necessarily be proud of. It’s expected. “Listen, we have to work hard,” he said after Howson’s firing. “Other teams work hard and some of them may have more talent than us. So we have to work hard. We don’t and we don’t have a chance. We all understand that. Everybody in the organization does and most nights it’s been really a good effort.” Kekalainen, who was GM of Jokerit in his native Finland when hired by Columbus, is known as a shrewd evaluator of amateur talent. He is taking time to go through computer and video files on players to gauge what the Blue Jackets should do by the April 3 trade deadline (most likely dealing several veterans for draft picks or prospects) and how they will handle the amateur draft this summer. Columbus has three firstround picks. He said he’d keep an open mind on all current players as the deadline looms. The draft will be the most important in franchise history, Davidson said. Kekalainen, who played just 55 games with the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators 1989-94, looks forward to making the most of what many are calling a deep and talented draft. “It’s the best way for an organization to get top players without giving up a lot,” he said. “Those three first-round picks are going to be a great opportunity for us to get some top players into our organization, and then to develop them in the proper way to become core players for this team for years to come.” ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The attorney for three NASCAR fans injured last weekend during a race the day before the Daytona 500 says they are exploring a possible lawsuit, but some experts say they could face tough obstacles in winning damages. Matt Morgan, the Orlando-based lawyer for the fans, said at a news conference Tuesday than any suit would focus on the safety fence used along the track at Daytona International Speedway. He said he hopes to reach a settlement with NASCAR to avoid a lawsuit. More than 30 people were injured last Saturday after a horrific wreck in a second-tier NASCAR series race sent chunks of debris, including a heavy tire, into the stands. Morgan declined to provide the identities of his clients, but said two of them were seated directly in front of the crash and sustained injuries ranging from a fractured fibula to abdominal swelling. All have been released from the hospital. Some experts say there could be grounds for a lawsuit, and that courts have looked past liability waivers written on the backs of sporting event tickets. Others maintain the ticket is a legal contract that could be hard to overcome in court. “Ultimately, I believe it would be gross negligence,” Morgan said. “We all know that when you go to a race you assume a certain amount of risk. But what people don’t assume is that a race car will come flying into the stands… That’s why they make the fences.” Asked to comment on the fans’ retention of a law firm, NASCAR spokesman David Higdon wrote in a statement, “We are unaware of any lawsuits filed.” Daytona International Speedway is owned by International Speedway Corp., a NASCAR sister company. Spokesman Andrew Booth said, “As per company policy, we do not comment on pending litigation.” Donnalynn Darling, a New York-based attorney who has been practicing personal injury law for 30 years, said there is a theory that a spectator who buys tickets to a sporting event assumes the risk of objects coming out of the field of play, such as a foul ball at a baseball game. But she said there is also a foreseeable risk question that promoters of events also accept. “Did the sporting event promoter take action to prevent that specific risk?” Darling asked. “In terms of this fence…it was put up to prevent people from being hurt. You have people who were not only injured by falling debris, but by the failure of the fence.” Others say such restrictive clauses on the back of tickets are generally disfavored by Florida courts. “If it’s just something written on the back of the ticket and not called to the attention of the person purchasing, there’s reason to believe many courts in Florida won’t hold that they consented efficiently,” said University of Florida emeritus law professor Joseph Little. Still, Paul Huck, an adjunct professor at the University of Miami School of Law, said contract law could take precedence. “A ticket to one of these events is like a contract — and its provisions limiting liability are generally enforceable,” he said. “We enter into these types of contracts on a regular basis, and we often don’t give it a second thought that we may be limiting or even giving up certain legal rights when we do so.” Darling also said that the fence’s manufacturer at Daytona would likely be “very much responsible” because of it being foreseeable that debris could go through a fence that has holes in it. That seems to be theory that Morgan is adopting. He referenced a 2009 crash at NASCAR’s racetrack in Talladega, Ala. in which a car that launched into the catch fence sent debris into the stands and injured several fans. “At that point in time a group of engineers got together and they said ‘It’s time for us to manufacture a safer fence,’” Morgan said. “To my knowledge, that was done. But what we have to investigate at this point in time is what was done…If you can ever point to monetary considerations being put ahead of people, then there’s a big problem.” Darling predicted that NASCAR would try to settle with the injured fans. NASCAR “had an obligation to protect the fans that are so loyal, and it is bad from a public relations standpoint,” Darling said. “So they’re going to do something.” Meet From Page 5 Friday and Saturday with a 2-2 overall mark in the 195-pound division, while Allen and Warren each posted 1-2 records in the 170- and 285-pound weight classes, respectively. The Blue Devils scored 24 points as a team, which was good enough for 24th place out of 37 scoring squads. St. Paris Graham won the D-2 district title with 231.5 points. Tawney will compete Thursday through Saturday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. Both Meigs and River Valley combined to send five grapplers to the Division III district tournament at Philo High School, but neither program managed to get out of Muskingum County with a state berth following the completion of the event Saturday. The Marauders managed five points and a tie for 43rd place in the team standings with New- comerstown, while the Raiders mustered two points to join Adena and Union Local in a tie for 51st place. A total of 63 teams were represented in the D-3 tournament, with 54 teams scoring at least one point. Meigs had three grapplers competing at the district event, with Daylen Neece being the only Marauder to earn a win this weekend. Neece went 2-2 overall and managed a win in each bracket, including a pinfall win over Cole Genders of Amanda-Clearcreek in a second-round consolation contest. Neece accounted for all five MHS points in the 220-pound weight class. Brandon Thompson (132) and Daniel Hysell (195) each went winless in two district matches, rounding out the Marauders’ weekend. RVHS junior Trae Cornell started his district with a 7-3 win over Grant Pumphrey of West Muskingum in the opening round of the 145 division, but two consecutive losses followed — ending Cornell’s weekend with a 1-2 mark. Cornell accounted for both Raider points, as freshman Jacob Kemper went winless in two bouts of the 113-pound weight class. Amanda Clearcreek won the D-3 team title with 147.5 points.

You have what it takes to meet life’s demands, and your ability to flex will be tested. Let go of what doesn’t work for you. When you do, you might notice that many opportunities will present themselves. If you are single, you will yearn for a close bond. Be patient; come summertime, this becomes a possibility. You just need to be your authentic self. If you are attached, the two of you seem to have a quality of the unexpected linked to your relationship. LIBRA wants to understand you better. 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 Listen to others’ feedback with an open mind. The unexpected is becoming expected, and it seems to follow you everywhere you go. Relax more with change, and be willing to let go of what isn’t working in your life. Tonight: Go with the flow of the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pace yourself. You have a lot to get done, and you’ll do just that, given some space and time. Your ability to adapt to change emerges. Understand what needs to happen with a financial matter. Don’t spend funds before they are in your bank account. Tonight: Make it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Allow your creativity to emerge when facing a schedule change or in a meeting gone awry. You don’t need to make a big deal out of everything that is occurring — just go with the flow. You will know when to act and what to do. Tonight: Spontaneity works. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Stay calm when others become irritable or agitated. A boss or higher-up seems to reverse course, which encourages you to question what is really going on here. Trust your judgment. Your instincts will carry you past a problem. You like what you hear. Tonight: Head home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might be overcautious in the morning, but by midafternoon, you’ll know which direction you would like to go. The unexpected easily could boomerang in and out of your plans. Demonstrate your ability to be flexible. Good news comes forward. Tonight: Where the fun is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might feel uneasy, and it could seem as if you aren’t sure which way to turn. Honor what you’re feeling; you’ll see why you feel that way later. The unexpected enters your life and creates havoc where you least expect it. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone’s offer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be slow to get going, but once the afternoon hits, you’ll be a whirlwind of activity. Fortunately, when a key friend, associate or loved one starts acting strange, you will know what to do. Let this person say what he or she needs to say. Tonight: Escape into the world of music. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be direct in your dealings in the morning. The clearer you are, the better your decisions will be. You might not be sure which way to go with a loved one who means well but could cause a problem. Do nothing — just see what he or she does. Tonight: Get some R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Zero in on what needs to happen. Your high stress level could come out as a nervous energy. You will need to deal with a strange twist. Try to get a lot of important feedback as you attempt to root out a problem. Success will come naturally. Tonight: Join friends for some fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Keep reaching out to a key person in your life. You might hear some shocking news that encourages you to regroup. The unexpected occurs, but you’ll demonstrate flexibility. Adjust your plans accordingly, and get to the root of a problem. Tonight: Others seek you out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Make a call to someone at a distance. Your caring comes out naturally. Be flexible with a change in plans, and your ingenuity will come to the rescue. Find a solution that works for you and also for others. Tonight: Return emails, and relax to a good movie. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with people directly today. A one-on-one conversation could change how you deal with your finances and the people you might be responsible for. Trust your resilience, and you will bounce back. Opportunities could involve real estate. Tonight: Dinner with a loved one.
