Melissa Wooten, 29, and Robert Lovell, 33, both of Price Road, Vinton, were arrested on charges of cultivation of marijuana, drug trafficking, possession of paraphernalia and child endangerment. Price Road is located in Meigs County near the Gallia County line. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reports that deputies with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and a representative from Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services responded to a children’s services complaint on Price Road in Vinton on Wednesday evening. Upon arrival, contact was made with Wooten and one of her two juvenile children who live in the home. Deputies and the representative reportedly detected a strong aroma of marijuana coming from inside the home. Deputies then received a search warrant for the home to investigate the marijuana odor. Upon entry to the home, deputies located a 150-plant indoor grow op- eration along with a large amount of marijuana packaged for sale, heroin, prescription medication, drug paraphernalia and firearms. Deputies then arrested Wooten along with her boyfriend, Lovell, who also resides at the residence. Wooten is being housed in the Middleport Jail and Lovell at the Washington County Jail. Wood credited the community’s ongoing support for his office’s success in combating drug issues in the area.

POINT PLEASANT — Area residents looking for a new place to go to for family fun may want to see all that the newly renovated Pizza Party in Point Pleasant now has to offer. Located at 44 Cape Lane in Point Pleasant, the Pizza Party restaurant has undergone some huge changes recently, including the addition of 25 more games to its already impressive arcade. Not all of the games are in yet, but they should be all installed by the middle of May. The addition of all the games is making the restaurant similar to a Chuck E. Cheese-type of business, but at the same time, it is very different. Owner Todd Bowen explained that he wanted to provide a new option for area residents, while also providing great food in a business that is enjoyed by people of all ages. “Do you have to play games to come in here? The answer is no,” Bowen said.

Member SIPC. OSHA: Ohio plant ‘could have prevented’ worker death NORTH JACKSON, Ohio (AP) — A northeastern Ohio aluminum plant has been cited with eight safety violations following the death of a worker who was crushed by a hot metal rack stacked with heavy aluminum, a federal safety agency said Thursday. Extrudex Aluminum acted with knowing disregard or plain indifference to hazards at the company’s plant in North Jackson, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said in a news release. Company General Manager Brian Carter did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday. OSHA’s findings come more than a year after 21-year-old John Tomlin Jr., of Niles, was killed when he was pinned by a rack with heavy, hot aluminum parts, which also fell on him. Another 19-yearold worker was seriously burned but survived. “Extrudex Aluminum could have prevented this tragic loss by protecting workers from hazards unique to its operation,” Howard Eberts, OSHA’s area director in Cleveland, said in the release. “Workers should not be asked to take such risks, and OSHA will not tolerate such disregard for worker safety.” Extrudex, based in Canada with 152 employees at its North Jackson plant, is now in OSHA’s severe violator program, will undergo targeted follow-up inspections and will be subject to fines of up to $175,000. The company has until May 14 to comply, contest OSHA’s findings before a review commission or request an informal conference with Eberts.

However, officials also said more definitive proof was needed and the U.S. was not ready to escalate its involvement in Syria. That response appeared to be an effort to bide time, given President Barack Obama’s repeated public assertions that Syria’s use of chemical weapons, or the transfer of its stockpiles to a terrorist group, would cross a “red line.” The White House disclosed the new intelligence Thursday in let- ters to two senators, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, traveling in Abu Dhabi, also discussed it with reporters. “Our intelligence community does assess, with varying degrees of confidence, that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically, the chemical agent sarin,” the White House said in its letter, which was signed by Obama’s legislative director, Miguel Rodriguez. Shortly after the letters was made public, Secretary of State John Kerry said on Capitol Hill that there were two instances of chemical weapons use. Hagel said the use of chemical weapons “violates every convention of warfare.” It was not immediately clear what quantity of weapons might have been used, or when or what casualties might have resulted. Obama has said the use of chemical weapons would be a “gamechanger” in the U.S. position on intervening in the Syrian civil war, and the letter to Congress reiterated that the use or transfer of such weapons in Syria was a “red line for the United States.” However, the letter also suggested a broad U.S. response was not imminent. Rodriguez wrote that “because the president takes this issue so seriously, we have an obligation to fully investigate any and all evidence of chemical weapons use within Syria.” Board From Page A1 ate school this year under the leadership of Sara Lee, coordinator of the talented and gifted program. On behalf of the Meigs Local School Board, Ron Logan presented medals to Olivia Goble and Austin Mahr.

He added that he strives to serve high quality food in a fun atmosphere. “We take pride in our pizza,” Bowen said. He uses a special type of cheese for his pizza, and says the unique crust also adds to the taste. Many of his customers order the pizza to go, showing that they are not there just for the games, he said. As for the games, Bowen explained that he chooses each game carefully for the Pizza Party. His children all offer their input on games that are good or bad, and Bowen enjoys selecting games that he knows area residents of all ages will enjoy. The business has a wide selection of video games, and it also has several skee-ball games, spinning wheel games for prizes, water games, basketball games and a variety of other options. Customers who play the games are able to earn tickets, and then they can turn the tickets in for the prizes when they are finished. “We have really good prizes,” Bowen added. “I pick out all of the prizes myself.” The business is the only one of its kind in the area, and Bowen is hoping that people from several counties across the region will visit the restaurant for a fun experience and great food. The Pizza Party is open to the public on Thursdays through Sundays, but is also available for rentals and special events on other days during the week. On Thursdays and Fridays, the business is open from 3-10 p.m., on Saturday it is open from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. and on Sunday it is open from noon until 9 p.m. The business hosts a large number of birthday parties and other special events, and even hosted a magic show recently. For more information on the Pizza Party, call 304-812-5936. To book an event at the Pizza Party, call general manager Roger Cox at 740-6457453.

Drugs From Page A1 was arrested immediately for driving on a revoked license from the State of West Virginia. The front seat passenger in the vehicle, who was known to Freed, provided a fake name and date of birth. She was identified as Mary Francis Hunt, 19, of Portland. Hunt had a warrant for her arrest from Meigs County Court for failure to appear. In the back seat of the vehicle were Courtney A. Akers, 21, of Ripley, W.Va., her husband Michael Akers, 22, also of Ripley, and their twoyear-old daughter. A warrant check of Michael Akers revealed an active warrant from Washington County, Ohio, and he was taken into custody. The Syracuse Police K-9 unit was deployed at the stop and indicated on the passenger side rear of the vehicle where Michael Akers was seated. After an investigation, search of the vehicle and questioning of all involved, it was learned that Michael and Courtney Akers had allegedly purchased black tar heroin from a residence a short distance away from where the officers conducted the traffic stop. Freed and Smith located syringes in the child’s diaper bag, as well as numerous other drug paraphernalia items located throughout the vehicle. During the stop, Hunt escaped custody and after a short pursuit, was taken back into custody by Deputy Brody Davis after she entered a residence at 2600 Second Street, Lot 4. At the residence, Taylor Nash Burge, 22, of Racine, was taken into custody by Chief Freed for questioning. After fur- ther investigation, Chief Freed learned that the alleged seller of the heroin was Burge. It was later learned from a confidential informant that a large “rock” of what is believed to be heroin was hidden under a vacant mobile home in the area. On Wednesday afternoon, Patrolman Smith, who is the handler for the K-9 unit, and his canine, Raiza, conducted a search and located the “rock” of what is believed to be heroin under a mobile home. All items seized from the vehicle and the “rock” located under the mobile home are being submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for analysis. Hunt was taken to the Southeastern Regional Jail in Nelsonville and arraigned the next day before Meigs County Court Judge Steven Story. She is charged with felony escape and misdemeanor falsification. She was unable to post the $5,000 bond and was transported to Washington County Jail by Chief Freed. Gibbs was brought before Mayor Eric Cunningham and released on bond for his traffic offenses. Michael Akers was transported to Washington County by Sheriff Keith Wood. The two-year-old girl was released to the child’s grandmother at the scene by the authorization of the Jackson County, W.Va., Children Services. The agency is also following up on the case according to Freed. Additional charges are pending in the case. Syracuse Police were assisted at the scene by Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood, Deputy Brody Davis and Deputy Brandy King. �The Daily Sentinel Faith and Family Page A4 Friday, April 26, 2013 National Day of Prayer plans observance Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Meigs County’s National Day of Prayer events will kick off Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m. when Christians from across the county will circle the Meigs County Courthouse and pray for our county and its leaders. At 4 p.m. the traditional read- ing of the scriptures will begin from the parking lot stage and continue until 10 p.m. and then will be continued on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. On Thursday, May 2, from 11:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. the traditional National Day of Prayer observance will be held on the Courthouse steps. As in the past the walking path will be marked with signs concerning issues and people to pray for. The Grace Episcopal Church will be open for prayer from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during National Day of Prayer Week. A family fun day has been set for Friday, May 3, from 6 to 10 p.m. on the parking lot to wrap up the observance. According to Brenda Barnhart, who chairs Day of Prayer activities, there will be bounce houses and games and music to entertain, all at no cost to those attending. In the event of rain the activities will be moved to Saturday. May 4. “Pray for America” is the theme is this year’s annual observance of National Day of Prayer which was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. It is held on the first Thursday of May, as designated by Congress, and thousands of people across the country gather each year to turn to God in prayer and meditation. Each year since its inception, the president has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.

However, Christ of God, our Savior potential reunions aside, it is foolish to imagine we are all going to get into heaven when, by and large, many of us are virtually ignorant of God of the Bible and have never established a relationship with the Christ of God as our personal Savior. Do reject the current “buzz” about all religions being relative, that “they all lead to God.” They do not. If I am wrong in advising you against such malarkey, then Jesus lied about his own exclusivity (Jn. 14:6). Lies are the domain of the Enemy, also known as the Devil, Satan, Beelzebub, and/or Lucifer. Liars and lies go handin-hand; there, too, is found the “father of all lies” (Jn. 8:44). He is the incarnation of sheer evil, but appearances are deceiving. Long ago, the devil was portrayed as a cute and inoffensive little bugger in a red suit with horns and a pointed tail. Hollywood, as you might expect, overhauled the devil’s image, making him into a disfigured, grotesque, sinister being. Yet, the Apostle Paul nailed down the truth for us and forever, in his description of Satan as “an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14). In this winsome guise and mode, the devil is appealing and effective, and so much better able to entice gullible and spiritually immature Christians into accepting ideas and practices alien to those set forth in God’s Word. Consider what you now support; is it there in the Bible? Now is the time for the Church to assert herself, to be salt and light in opposition to the ways and will of the world.

Fear will negate and established in unbefaith, and unbelief will lief. Second Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.” The way that fear is able to come upon us is that we take our attention off of Jesus and put it on our situation. Meanwhile, if the situation worsens then our fear turns into unbelief. We then assume that our prayers regarding that situation will not be answered and we turn to other “human” resources or our own abilities to cope with the circumstances. Fear or doubt cannot “just overcome” us. We have to let it in. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God’s Word. Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our concern about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus and His finished work on the cross. So let faith superimpose any unbelief you may be dealing with.

Afflictions in the here-and-now are the tools in His hand to work the miracle of changing our hearts that we can be made ready for an everlasting hope with Him. “I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us…. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?… No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 18, 35, 37-39 ESV). Eternity itself will vindicate the faith of those who choose to believe God in this lifetime. Are you carrying a heavy load of worry? Are your heartaches and pains too much to bear? Take heart… and take hold of the surety you have in Jesus Christ. He Himself is the answer to your questions, the remedy of your heart’s afflictions, and the reward stored up for you in heaven.

The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 Dynamic cellist joins OVS for season finale GALLIPOLIS — Spring starts an annual cycle of renewal and rebirth, but the daffodils wouldn’t bloom if the soil hadn’t been prepared in the fall. To wrap up its 23rd season, the Ohio Valley Symphony pays tribute to that cycle with a program featuring music that pays tribute to those who came before. Joining the OVS at 8 p.m. April 27 is the dynamic young cellist Efe Baltacigil. Ray Fowler, the orchestra’s music director, conducts the program at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre in historic downtown Gallipolis. Born in Turkey in 1978, Baltacigil started studying violin at age five and switched to cello at age seven. He received his bachelor’s degree in Istanbul, then came to the United States to earn an artist diploma from the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia in 2002. He was the Philadelphia Orchestra’s assistant principal cellist in February 2005, when a winter storm kept much of the orchestra from traveling to the hall for a scheduled concert. With 10 minutes rehearsal, Baltacigil teamed with legendary pianist Emmanuel Ax, the scheduled soloist, for an impromptu Beethoven sonata performance. Since then, his musical collaborators have included Midori, Pinchas Zukerman and Yo-Yo Ma in both classical repertoire and on Ma’s “Silk Road” project. In 2011, he won the post of the Seattle Symphony’s principal cellist, and the next year he performed with his brother, New York Philharmonic principal bassist Fora Baltacigil, with the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle. With the OVS Baltacigil is to be soloist in two pieces. Vivaldi’s Concerto in C Minor, RV 401, is among the hundreds the so-called “red priest” — for his red hair — turned out over his prolific career. Most famous for the four violin concertos called the “Four Seasons,” Vivaldi, one of the Baroque era’s greatest composers, used the same easy, tuneful style to put the spotlight on almost every instrument. Baltacigil and the OVS then turn to Tchaikovsky. Though inarguably a composer of his own time, few composers so revered their predecessors — and particularly Mozart — as this Russian Romantic. In his “Rococo Variations” of 1877, Tchaikovsky embraces the elegant restraint and balance of his Classical-era idol. Bringing the concert to a sparkling conclusion is music of that idol, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40. The composer’s second-to-last symphony, one of his most popular and admired works, shows him at the peak of his powers just a few years before his untimely death just shy of age 36. Completed in 1788, it is one of only two minor-key symphonies Mozart wrote and one of the most beautiful examples of the Classical era’s artistic ideal, balancing passion and intellect. April’s program reflects two key OVS goals — to bring live, professional, orchestral music to the Ohio Valley and to make orchestral music more familiar. To help instill a love of music — especially in children — the OVS invites the public to attend its rehearsals for free at 7-10 p.m. April 26 and 1-4 p.m. April 27 at the Ariel Theatre. Open rehearsals are a great way for young and old alike to become more familiar with symphonic music, and they offer a fascinating behindthe-scenes glimpse of what goes into preparing an orchestral performance. The OVS offers another way to make a personal connection with the music, too. Thomas Consolo, OVS assistant conductor and program annotator, hosts a free pre-concert talk in the recently opened Ariel Chamber Theatre, just upstairs from the concert site. The casual get-together will put a more personal face on the night’s music and answer questions about the program, the OVS or the orchestral experience in general. The talk begins at 7:15 p.m. on April 27. Tickets and more information are available at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre box office, located at 428 Second Ave. in Gallipolis, Ohio; by phone at (740) 446-ARTS and through the OVS website www.ohiovalleysymphony.org. Funding for The Ohio Valley Symphony is provided in part by the Ann Carson Dater Endowment. Further support is provided by the Ohio Arts Council, a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally and economically. Search the Scriptures Words From Woody ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…’ As Jesus begins His Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5, He does so by proffering a set of blessings upon a group of characteristics (cf. Matthew 5:3-10). These blessings have come to be known as the Beatitudes, which is simply Latin for “blessedness.” The Beatitudes contain eight different characteristics: “the poor in spirit,” “those who mourn,” “the meek,” “those that hunger and thirst for righteousness,” “the merciful,” “the pure in heart,” “the peacemakers,” and “those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.” Though there are eight qualities of character mentioned by Christ in the Beatitudes, there are only seven distinct blessings to go along with these eight characteristics. One of them, the phrase, “theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” is used by Christ twice, at both the beginning and the end of the list (cf. Matthew 5:3, 10). The dual use of the same blessing at both the beginning and end of the Beatitudes is a unifying factor, tying all eight of the blessings into a single whole and making it clear that Jesus meant for them to be considered together, rather than singly. Though Jesus is describing eight different characteristics which bring blessings, the goal of the list is to demonstrate that each individual disciple of Jesus should possess all eight characteristics if they wish to be pleasing to God. Likewise, the seven different blessings; “theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” “they shall be comforted,” “they shall inherit the earth,” “they shall be filled,” “they shall receive mercy,” “they shall see God,” “they shall be called sons of God,” and then again, “theirs is the kingdom of heaven;” are all describing different aspects of the same thing: salvation! Consider first the phrase used twice: “theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus preached a message of the coming kingdom and, through His death, burial, and resurrection, He established that Kingdom, with Himself as King, possessing all authority (cf. Matthew 28:18). On earth, that Kingdom is manifested as the church and the saved are added to its number (cf Acts 2:47; Colossians 1:13). At the last day, Jesus will deliver this Kingdom to the Father and the saints shall enter into eternal life (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:24). If one has no part in the Kingdom, it is because he has not been saved, but for those that have been saved, the Kingdom is theirs. Likewise the phrase, “inherit the earth,” refers not to this earth we currently inhabit, which is destined to be destroyed (cf. 1 John 2:15-17), but rather it refers to the earth to come. Of this Peter says, “we, according to His promises, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” (1 Peter 3:13) This inheritance is that which is given to the heirs of God (cf. 1 Peter 1:4), those individuals who, through adoption, have been made, “sons of God,” as in the seventh blessing. If a man does not, “inherit the earth,” it is because he is not a “son of God,” and he is not going to make it to heaven. Or consider the phras- es, “receive mercy,” and “see God.” Does anyone think that there will be those in heaven who are there without receiving mercy, and who do not see God? In each case, including the blessings of “being filled,” and being “comforted,” there is an inherent understanding that these blessings are necessary for salvation to be achieved. If one is not full of righteousness, Jesus Himself says subsequently that one cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. (cf. Matthew 5:20) And who can be saved from their sins apart from the comfort God supplies? Some, even among those who claim Christ, are tempted to discount this or that characteristic of the Beatitudes as good for others, but not for self. “Meekness,” for instance, is often derided as something not suitable for every temperament. But if a man fails to possess a characteristic described by Jesus, it follows he also fails to capture the blessing which accompanies that characteristic. And, as all the blessings are part and parcel of what it means to be saved, then by default, the one who lacks a particular blessing lacks all the blessings and salvation itself. It is vital then, for those who wish to be saved, that they possess all eight of the qualities listed by Jesus. In our next two article, we shall examine each of these vital qualities so that we can understand how to incorporate them into our lives so as to receive the promised blessings as sons of God in the Kingdom of Heaven. If you are interested in learning more about this subject, or about any biblical subject, we invite you to study and worship with us at the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

Kerry needs to know that I am in his corner, even more so when he loses. When he sees me, connects with me, it seems that all is right with his world, even in defeat.

It is our human nature to get too big for our britches when all is well. When things go contrary to plan, that’s the time when we look for help from God to make it all right again. Sometimes things go wrong because we neglect thinking about the big picture in deference to the immediate reward. We are all about instant gratification most of the time. This must be disappointing for a Father who only wants us to seek Him as we revel in our wins and stumble through our losses. God is right there, front and center, watching for us to look toward him. With a nod, a smile, perhaps a stage direction, if we will only look His way. How does He do it? Even a better question, why does he do it? Stand ready to help us when we call. Even though we forget to thank him when things are going well… He does it because he loves us. How else can one explain this? My love for my grandson is immeasurable, how much more does God care for us? A screech echoed through the gym, and I saw my grandson look at me again as he lowered the violin from his chin. I met his gaze with a smile. Applause followed. Lots of applause. They are elementary students, after all. As my eyes welled up with tears, I said a silent prayer thanking God for allowing me the joy known only by a grandpa. God surely desires to be the One we search for in the crowd. Making it a point to look for his nod and smile is a step in the right direction. �Friday, April 26, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 Meigs County Church Directory Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

The students who qualified were selected through an audition process held in February. Twenty three high schools were represented in the honors band, with Meigs, Athens, Vinton, Jackson, Gallia, Scioto and Lawrence representing District 17.

Workers pinned in Bangladesh rubble cry for rescue SAVAR, Bangladesh (AP) — “Save us, brother. I beg you, brother,” Mohammad Altab moaned to the rescuers who could not help him. He had been trapped for more than 24 hours, pinned between slabs of concrete in the ruins of the garment factory building where he worked. “I want to live,” he pleaded, his eyes glistening with tears as he spoke of his two young children. “It’s so painful here.” Altab should not have been in the building when it collapsed Wednesday, killing at least 238 people. No one should have. After seeing deep cracks in the walls of the building on Tuesday, police had ordered it evacuated. But officials at the garment factories operating inside ignored the order and kept more than 2,000 people working, authorities said. The disaster in Savar, an industrial suburb of Dhaka, the capital city, is the worst ever for Bangladesh’s booming and powerful garment industry, surpassing a fire five months ago that killed 112 people and brought widespread pledges to improve the country’s worker-safety standards. Instead, very little has changed in Bangladesh, where wages, among the lowest in the world, have made it a magnet for numerous global brands. Companies operating in the collapsed building say their customers included retail giants such as WalMart, Dress Barn and Britain’s Primark. On Thursday, hundreds of rescuers, some crawling through the maze of rubble in search of survivors and corpses, spent a second day working amid the cries of the trapped and the wails of workers’ relatives gathered outside the Rana Plaza building, which housed numerous garment factories and a handful of other companies. Rescuers on Thursday evening found 40 survivors trapped in a room on the fourth floor. Twelve were soon freed, and crews worked to get the others out safely, said Brig. Gen. Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder, who is overseeing rescue operations. Crowds at the scene burst into applause as survivors were brought out, although no other details were immediately available. An Associated Press cameraman who went into the rubble Thursday morning with rescue workers spoke briefly to Atlab, the man who pleaded to be saved. But the team was unable to free Atlab, who was trapped next to two corpses. From deep inside the rubble, another survivor could be heard weeping as he called for help. “We want to live, brother! It’s hard to remain alive here. It would have been better to die than enduring such pain to live on. We want to live! Please save us,” the man cried. It was not immediately clear if he or Atlab were among those later rescued. After the cracks were reported, managers of a bank that had an office in the building evacuated their employees. The garment factories, though, kept working, ignoring the instructions of the local industrial police, said Mostafizur Rahman, a director of that police force. Abdur Rahim, who worked on the fifth floor, said he and his co-workers had gone inside Wednesday morning despite seeing the cracks. He said a factory manager had assured people it was safe. About an hour later, the building collapsed, and the next thing Rahim remembered was regaining consciousness outside. Officials said they had made it very clear that the building needed to be evacuated. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association had also asked the factories to suspend their work. “After we got the crack reports, we asked them to suspend work until further examination, but they did not pay heed,” said Atiqul Islam, the group’s president. As crews bored deeper into the wreckage, the odor of decaying bodies wafted through the building. Bangladesh’s junior minister for home affairs, Shamsul Haque, said 2,000 people had been rescued. Maj. Gen. Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardy, a top military officer in the Savar area, told reporters that search and rescue operations would continue for at least three days after the collapse. “We know a human being can survive for up to 72 hours in this situation. So our efforts will continue non-stop,” he said. Meanwhile, thousands of workers from the hundreds of garment factories across the Savar industrial zone took to the streets to protest the collapse and poor safety standards. Shikder said the death toll had reached 238 by Thursday night. The gar- ment manufacturers’ group said the factories in the building employed 3,122 workers, but it was not clear how many were inside it when it collapsed. Dozens of bodies, their faces covered, were laid outside a school building so relatives could identify them. Thousands gathered outside the building, waiting for news. TV reports said hundreds of protesters clashed with police in Dhaka and the nearby industrial zone of Ashulia. It was not immediately clear if there were any injuries in those clashes. After the November fire at the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory, there were repeated calls for improved safety standards by labor activists, manufacturers, the government and major retailers, but little progress. The building collapse highlighted the dangers that workers still face. Bangladesh has about 4,000 garment factories and exports clothes to leading Western retailers, and industry leaders hold great influence in the South Asian nation. Its garment industry was the third largest in the world in 2011, after China and Italy. It has grown rapidly in the past decade, a boom fueled by Bangladesh’s exceptionally low labor costs. The country’s minimum wage is now the equivalent of about $38 a month. Officials said soon after the collapse that numerous construction regulations had been violated. Abdul Halim, an official with Savar’s engineering department, said the owner of Rana Plaza was originally allowed to construct a five-story building but added another three stories illegally. On a visit to the site, Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir told reporters the building had violated construction codes and that “the culprits would be punished.” Local police chief Mohammed Asaduzzaman said police and the government’s Capital Development Authority have filed separate cases of negligence against the building’s owner. But on the streets of Dhaka, many believe the owners of the building and the factories will ultimately walk free. “Was anyone punished earlier? Was the owner of Tazreen Fashions arrested? They are powerful people, they run the country,” said Farid Ahmed, an insurance company official. The Tazreen factory that burned in November lacked emergency exits, and its owner said only three floors of the eight-story building were legally built. Surviving employees said gates had been locked and managers had told them to go back to work after the fire alarm sounded. Habibur Rahman, police superintendent of the Dhaka district, identified the owner of the collapsed building as Mohammed Sohel Rana, a local leader of ruling Awami League’s youth front. Rahman said police were also looking for the owners of the garment factories. Among the garment makers in the building were Phantom Apparels, Phantom Tac, Ether Tex, New Wave Style and New Wave Bottoms. Altogether, they produced several million shirts, pants and other garments a year. The New Wave companies, according to their website, make clothing for major brands including North American retailers The Children’s Place and Dress Barn, Britain’s Primark, Spain’s Mango and Italy’s Benetton. Ether Tex said Wal-Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, was one of its customers. The Cato Corporation, which sells moderatelypriced women’s and girls’ clothing, said that New Wave Bottoms was one of its vendors, but that it had no production with them at the time of the collapse. Primark acknowledged it was using a factory in Rana Plaza, but many other retailers distanced themselves from the disaster, saying they were not involved with the factories at the time of the collapse or had not recently ordered garments from them. Benetton said in an email to the AP that people involved in the collapse were not Benetton suppliers. WalMart said it was investigating, and Mango said it had only discussed production of a test sample of clothing with one of the factories. Highlighting failings in the patchwork system that retailers use to audit factories, two of Rana Plaza’s garment companies had passed inspections by a major European group that does factory audits in developing countries. But the Business Social Compliance Initiative, which represents hundreds of companies and audited the Phantom Apparels and New Wave Style factories, said its standards focus more on labor issues than building standards. DALLAS (AP) — Presidents past and present lionized one of their own Thursday, putting politics aside as President George W. Bush dedicated the library that documents his place in history. President Barack Obama praised his predecessor’s strength and resolve after Sept. 11, calling Bush a “good man” who faced the storm head on. “My deepest conviction, the guiding principle of the administration, is that the United States of America must strive to expand the reach of freedom,” Bush said. “I believe that freedom is a gift from God and the hope of every human heart.” Obama and Bush spoke along with the three other living former presidents in a rare reunion at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. “To know President George W. Bush is to like him,” Obama said. The presidents lauded Bush’s aid to the people of Africa, his effort to reach across the aisle on issues like immigration and education and his leadership in the days after the 2001 terrorist attacks. But they avoided the two wars that dominated much of his time in office — Iraq and Afghanistan. The presidents — Obama, Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter — were cheered by a crowd of former White House officials and world leaders as they took the stage together to open the dedication. They were joined on stage by their wives — the nation’s current and former first ladies — for the outdoor ceremony on a sunsplashed Texas morning. For Bush, 66, the ceremony also marked his unofficial return to the public eye four years after the end of his deeply polarizing presidency. The five men have been described as members of the world’s most exclusive club, but Obama said they are “more like a support group.” “Being president above all is a humbling job,” Obama said. He there were moments that they make mistakes and wish they could turn back the clock, but “we love this country and we do our best.” In a reminder of his duties as the current Oval Office inhabitant, Obama planned to travel to Waco in the afternoon for a memorial for victims of last week’s deadly fertilizer plant explosion. Obama praised Bush for pushing to reform the country’s immigration system, although Congress never agreed to go along during Bush’s time in office. Obama said he hopes they will this year. “And if we do that it will be in large part thanks for the hard work of President George W. Bush,” Obama said. President George H.W. Bush, who has been hospitalized recently for bronchitis, spoke haltingly for just about 30 seconds while seated in his wheelchair, thanking guests for coming out to support his son. A standing ovation lasted nearly as long as his comments, and his son and wife helped him to his feet to recognize the applause. Clinton, too, was warmly received by the heavily Republican crowd, who applauded and laughed along with his joke-peppered speech. He concluded on a serious note about the importance of the leaders coming together. “Debate and difference is an important part of every free society,” Clinton said. President Jimmy Carter praised Bush for his role in helping secure peace between North and South Sudan in 2005 and his approval of expanded aid to the nations of Africa. “Mr. President let me say that I am filled with admiration for you and deep gratitude for you about the great contributions you’ve made to the most needy people on earth,” Carter said. Former first lady Laura Bush said the library isn’t just about her husband, but reflects the world during his time as the first president as the 21st century. “Here we remember the heartbreak and heroism of Sept. 11 and the bravery of those who answered the call to defend our country,” she said. Presidential politics also hung over the event. Ahead of the ceremony, former first lady Barbara Bush made waves by brushing aside talk of her son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, running for the White House in 2016. “We’ve had enough Bushes,” said Mrs. Bush, the wife of George H.W. Bush and mother of George W. Bush. She spoke in an interview with NBC’s “Today” show. Yet George W. Bush talked up the presidential prospects of his brother in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC. “He doesn’t need my counsel, because he knows what it is, which is, ‘Run,’” Bush said. Key moments and themes from George W. Bush’s presidency — the harrowing, the controversial and the inspiring — would not be far removed from the minds of the presidents and guests assembled to dedicate the center, where interactive exhibits invite scrutiny of Bush’s major choices as president, such as the financial bailout, the Iraq War and the international focus on HIV and AIDS. More than 70 million pages of paper records. Two hundred million emails. Four million digital photos. About 43,000 artifacts. Bush’s library will feature the largest digital holdings of any of the 13 presidential libraries under the auspices of the National Archives and Records Administration, officials said. Situated in a 15-acre urban park at Southern Methodist University, the center includes 226,000 square feet of indoor space. A full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it looked during Bush’s tenure sits on the campus, as does a piece of steel from the World Trade Center and the bullhorn that Bush used to punctuate the chaos at ground zero three days after 9/11. In the museum, visitors can gaze at a container of chads — the remnants of the famous Florida punch card ballots that played a pivotal role in the contested 2000 election that sent Bush to Washington. Laura Bush led the design committee, officials said, with a keen eye toward ensuring that her family’s Texas roots were conspicuously reflected. Architects used local materials, including Texas Cordova cream limestone and trees from the central part of the state, in its construction. From El Salvador to Ghana, Bush contemporaries and former heads of state made their way to Texas to lionize the American leader they served alongside on the world stage. Among the foreign leaders set to attend were former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The public look back on the tenure of the nation’s 43rd president comes as Bush is undergoing a coming-out of sorts after years spent in relative seclusion, away from the prying eyes of cameras and reporters that characterized his two terms in the White House and his years in the Texas governor’s mansion before that. As the library’s opening approached, Bush and his wife embarked on a round-robin of interviews with all the major television networks, likely aware that history’s appraisal of his legacy and years in office will soon be taking form. An erroneous conclusion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, a bungling of the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and a national debt that grew much larger under his watch stain the memory of his presidency for many, including Obama, who won two terms in the White House after lambasting the choices of its previous resident. �Friday, April 26, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A8 Piece-by-piece on Ohioans promoting Richter immigration in House scale developer legacy ordinator for earthquake hazards at the U.S. Geological Survey. “Providing a means by which to measure, classify, compare and even discuss earthquakes among scientists led to great improvements in our understanding of their origins,” Blanpied said. He said that within the seismology field, Richter’s contributions “will never fade.” Richter, who died in 1985, was born in the village of Overpeck near Hamilton in 1900. The great-greatgrandson of Amish pioneers spent his early life there before moving with his mother, sister and grandfather to Los Angeles. He was born Charles Kinsinger, but his father left when he was a child and Richter later took his mother’s maiden name. Susan Hough, a California seismologist and author of the 2007 biography “Richter’s Scale: Measure of an Earthquake, Measure of a Man,” describes Richter as a “character” who had difficulty interacting socially and may have had Asperger’s syndrome. The developmental disorder affects the ability to communicate and socialize, among other things. “He wrote that ‘living’ was a natural skill for most people, but for him it was a learned one,” Hough said. She said Richter was very complex and “more of an outside-thebox thinker who didn’t fit the mold” of most scientists. He wrote poetry and he and his wife were avid nudists who often attended nudist camps. He also worked extensively to promote earthquake safety, trying to ensure that buildings were as safe from earthquakes as possible. Richter never had children to help preserve his legacy, “so now we’re his family,” said Jantzen, adding that the need to ensure he is not forgotten goes beyond just preserving his place in history. “His ability to overcome difficulties and achieve greatness can be an inspiration to others,” she said. approach at a breakfast meeting with reporters Thursday hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. Schumer and McCain said that any time an immigration issue is advanced individually, even something widely supported like visas for high-tech workers or a citizenship path for those brought as children, lawmakers and interest groups start pushing for other issues to get dealt with at the same time. “What we have found is, ironically, it may be a little counterintuitive, that the best way to pass immigration legislation is actually a comprehensive bill, because that can achieve more balance and everybody can get much but not all of what they want,” Schumer said. “And so I think the idea of doing separate bills is just not going to work. It’s not worked in the past, and it’s not going to work in the future.” McCain and Schumer also said that immigration legislation must have a path to citizenship. “Any attempt to say in the House that you will not have a path to citizenship will be a nonstarter, and I’d say that, unequivocally, it will not pass the Senate,” Schumer said. “I don’t think it would get a Democratic vote.” The House has always loomed as the toughest barrier to passage of immigration legislation, partly because many rank-and-file House Republicans don’t feel a political imperative to act. Some GOP House members, such as Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan, have been speaking out in favor of a comprehensive solution to immigration. But unlike in the Senate, where a number of Republicans have begun to embrace far-reaching immigration legislation as a necessary remedy for a Republican Party that has struggled to maintain support from Hispanic voters, many Republican House members represent districts where Latino voters aren’t a significant factor. Supporters of immigration legislation believe that the best way to pressure the House to act would be for the Senate to pass immigration legislation with a convincing majority including a large number of Republican supporters. Schumer and McCain predicted just that outcome Thursday, saying they hoped to get 70 votes in the 100-member Senate and win support from a majority of Republican senators in addition to a majority of Democrats. “I think it’s very doable,” McCain said. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said Thursday that in the wake of three days of hearings on the Senate immigration bill, his committee will begin to amend and vote on the legislation May 9. Action on the Senate floor may come in June. The bill would secure the border, usher in new work visa programs for high- and low-skilled workers, require employers to verify workers’ legal status and put immigrants living here illegally on a 13-year path to citizenship. Despite Goodlatte’s preference for breaking immigration up into multiple bills, a bipartisan group in the House, operating separately from Goodlatte’s committee, has been working behind the scenes on a sweeping bill expected to be similar to what the Senate is considering. Goodlatte said he will be interested to see what that group produces but hasn’t determined how his committee might approach it. He also said that while he’s decided to begin with hearings on individual bills, there’s been no decision on how to approach voting on any legislation or when to hold a vote. And whatever Goodlatte’s committee does, final decisions on the approach in the House will be made by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who’s avoided taking any public stance so far on how to move forward. Boehner issued a brief statement through a spokesman Thursday commending both Goodlatte and the bipartisan House working group on immigration “for their continuing work on this complex and important issue.” 60411981 CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio native Charles Richter’s scale for measuring the power of earthquakes isn’t as widely used as before, but he has fans determined to make sure his name and legacy don’t fade away. A road roundabout will be dedicated in his name Friday, the late physicist and seismologist’s birthday. A group of historians and Richter supporters, with local government and parks officials, has established an annual celebration of his life near his southwest Ohio birthplace. This year’s Charles F. Richter Day will be at the site of an Ohio Historical Marker previously dedicated to him in Butler County, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati. The county road roundabout there will be named the Richter Roundabout. “We want to be sure future generations know who he was and what he accomplished,” said Anne Jantzen, a co-founder of the Friends of Charles F. Richter Society who said supporters hope to get the day recognized statewide eventually. They are concerned because many reports about earthquakes no longer mention the scale developed in the early 1930s and just refer to magnitudes in general, as newer measurement scales have been developed. “Younger generations may never know about his contributions,” Jantzen said. Richter, with input from colleagues including Beno Gutenberg and Harry Wood, has been credited with developing the method of rating earthquake magnitude through measuring the shock waves produced. The physicist and seismologist published the mathematical calculation in 1935 while at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Other scales measuring earthquakes in various ways have since been developed, but Richter’s idea of a magnitude scale brought the study of earthquakes a big step forward, said Michael Blanpied, associate co- WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans will tackle the immigration issue in bite-size pieces, shunning pressure to act quickly and rejecting the comprehensive approach embraced in the Senate and endorsed by President Barack Obama, a key committee chairman said Thursday. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., declined to commit to finishing immigration legislation this year, as Obama and a bipartisan group in the Senate want to do. He said bills on an agriculture worker program and workplace enforcement would come first, and he said there’d been no decision on how to deal with legalization or a possible path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally, a centerpiece of a new bipartisan bill in the Senate. “It is not whether you do it fast or slow, it is that you get it right that’s most important,” Goodlatte said at a press conference to announce the way forward on immigration in the House. He said that while he hopes to produce a bill this year, “I’m going to be very cautious about setting any kind of arbitrary limits on when this has to be done.” The approach Goodlatte sketched out was not a surprise, but it was a sign of the obstacles ahead of congressional passage of the kind of far-reaching immigration legislation sought by Obama and introduced last week in the Senate by four Republican and four Democratic lawmakers. Many in the conservativeled House don’t have the appetite for a single, big bill on immigration, especially not one that contains a path to citizenship, still viewed by some as amnesty. Instead they prefer to coalesce around consensus issues like border security, temporary workers and workplace enforcement. But if the Senate’s comprehensive approach faces obstacles in the House, the House’s piecemeal approach won’t fly in the Senate. Two of the lead authors of the Senate bill, Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and John McCain, R-Ariz., rejected the piece-by-piece 60412371 �The Daily Sentinel Sports FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com INSIDE Gallia Academy tennis remains perfect B2 RedStorm softball swept by UVA-Wise Randy Payton Special to OVP WISE, Va. — The University of Virginia’s College at Wise extended its winning streak to 12 straight games as the Cavaliers closed out their regular season schedule with a doubleheader sweep of the University of Rio Grande, Monday afternoon, in Mid-South Conference softball action at Cavalier Field. The Cavaliers squeaked out a 2-1 win in the opener before deal- ing the RedStorm a mercy ruleshortened 10-2 loss in game two. Rio Grande, which was also playing its final two regular season outings, slipped to 22-17 overall and 11-15 in league play with the two losses. Wise improved to 30-19 overall and 18-10 in the MSC. The Cavaliers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener. Sarah Wiltshire led off with a walk and steal of second before Christina Ziemba was hit by a pitch and both runners were bunted into scoring position, setting the stage for a runscoring groundout by Kristina Romualdo. Rio tied the game in the fourth on a one-out solo home run by sophomore Haley Gwin (Troy, OH), but Wise regained the lead for good in the home half of the inning when Mindy Combs led off with a double, moved to third on a single by Kirsten Velazquez and scored on a subsequent wild pitch. The home run by Gwin was the only hit allowed by Wise starter Rachel Hawks through the first six innings, but the RedStorm mounted a major scoring threat in their final at bat. Gwin and freshman Kim Rollins (Liberty Township, OH) opened the Rio seventh with back-to-back singles and, one out later, both moved into scoring position on a groundout by freshman Ariel Roder (Parma Heights, OH). The threat – and the game – ended moments later, though, when Hawks induced freshman Kimber Hazlett (Utica, OH) into a popout to third base. Hawks walked just one and fanned eight in a complete game effort. Combs and Velazquez finished with two hits each in the win. Hazlett allowed just five hits in suffering the loss for the RedStorm.

Late rally lifts Rio baseball in regular season finale Randy Payton Special to OVP CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Shane Spies’ go-ahead two-run home run capped a three-run eighth inning rally and lifted the University of Rio Grande to a 4-2 win over Otterbein University, Monday afternoon, in the regular season finale for the RedStorm at a sunsplashed VA Memorial Stadium. Rio Grande improved to 33-18 with the victory, its eighth consecutive triumph. The RedStorm have won 11 of their last 12 games and 15 of their last 17 outings. The win was a final tuneup before head coach Brad Warnimont’s squad opens play in the Mid-South Conference Tournament on Thursday afternoon. The RedStorm, the tourney’s No. 5 seed, will face fourth-seeded Campbellsville in a 1 p.m. first pitch at Hunter Wright Stadium in Kingsport, Tenn. Rio’s three-run rally came after Otterbein (21-13), a member of the NCAA Division III Ohio Athletic Conference, had wrestled away the lead in the top half of the eighth. Senior Kyle Perez (Casselberry, FL) began the rally with a double off the left field wall against OU reliever Dominic Porretta, the third of three pitchers for the Cardinals. Sophomore Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) followed with an infield single to shortstop, which was also misplayed for an error that allowed Perez to race home and knot the score at 2-2. Spies, a senior from Polk, Ohio, followed by depositing an 0-1 offering from Porretta over the fence in left to give the RedStorm the lead. The home run was the first allowed this season by Porretta and the 15th of the season for Spies, a mark which leads all of NAIA Division I. Spies’ homer also ties him with David Robinson for what is believed to be the school’s single-season record. Robinson hit 15 home runs in 1995.

(AP) — Three University of Charleston basketball players were dismissed from the Division II team Wednesday after police said the men were charged in a downtown robbery. Charleston police filed a criminal complaint alleging two people were struck and robbed of cash and a credit card early Sunday. The card was later used to make purchases at a fast-food restaurant and a convenience store. Terrell Lipkins, 20, of Canton, Ohio; Robbie Dreher, 22, of Greenville, S.C., and Quincy Washington, 22, of Florence, S.C., each were charged with first-degree robbery, Kanawha County Magistrate Court records showed. Lipkins, the team’s leading scorer, also was charged with four counts of credit card fraud. They were held on bond Wednesday. Jail records didn’t indicate whether they had attorneys. School president Ed Welch called the alleged conduct “deplorable” and in violation of university policy. “They have been evicted from the residence halls, removed from the university’s basketball team, and further campus disciplinary actions are in progress,” Welch said. “We will continue to cooperate fully with authorities as they continue their investigation.” Lipkins led the Golden Eagles with 17.4 points and 4.6 assists per game in the 2012-13 season. Dreher was the third-leading scorer at 11.1 points and Washington was fifth at 8.9. Dreher played at Winthrop for two seasons, leading the team in scoring in 2010-11. He left the team after an April 2011 arrest and pleaded guilty last year to second-degree assault and battery. He was sentenced to probation. Buckeyes elevate assistant as new head coach COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State has elevated assistant coach Steve Rohlik (RAH’-lik) as head men’s ice hockey coach, replacing the fired Mark Osiecki. Rohlik has been the associate head coach for the Ohio State program the last three seasons under Osiecki, who was fired last week after a disagreement with athletic director Gene Smith and the administration. Rohlik has 16 years of experience as a Division I coach at Minnesota Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha. During his career, he has recruited and/or coached two Hobey Baker Award winners, 12 All-Americans and 18 players who have reached the NHL. He will help usher the Buckeyes into the new Big Ten hockey conference this fall. NFL given OK to shut counterfeit sales websites NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL won a court order Wednesday to shut down the operators of nearly 1,500 China-based websites accused of selling fake NFL merchandise, continuing the league’s effort to counter booming counterfeit sales of its popular player jerseys and other merchandise. In a lawsuit, the NFL accused the web- site operators of being part of a single network of counterfeiters who sell fake jerseys, headwear and other merchandise bearing the trademarks of the league or its 32 teams. The league said in court papers that the websites are designed to appear to be authorized NFL web stores or approved by the league to sell genuine NFL products. It said the websites are in English, accept payment in U.S. dollars, claim to provide superior customer service and conceal the fact that they are based overseas. “The infringing websites sometimes explicitly claim that the products for sale are ‘authentic,’ ‘genuine,’ or ‘official,’” the league’s lawsuit said. It had sought statutory damages of $2 million for each trademark violation and $250,000 for each infringing domain name. Wednesday’s ruling, signed by U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield in New York City, gives the league the ability to learn the identities of those running the websites and more about their finances. The league said it has used similar lawsuits to disable more than 2,500 websites. No one showed up in court to counter the NFL’s claims. Browns player apologizes for arrest BEDFORD, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns linebacker Quentin Groves has apologized following his citation on a soliciting charge stemming from what police called a prostitution sting. Groves said in a statement Wednesday that he let a lot of people down, starting with his family, and he told fans, the Browns and the city of Cleveland he was sorry for putting himself in this situation. Groves entered a no contest plea to disorderly conduct in Bedford Municipal Court in suburban Cleveland on Tuesday following his citation by police in neighboring Orange last Wednesday. Court records show Groves also paid $365 as part of the case. The Browns declined comment. Police say Groves was taken into custody at a hotel after arranging in a phone call for sex acts with an undercover officer. NBA committee deciding Kings’ fate to meet Monday SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The NBA committee deciding whether the Sacramento Kings should be sold and relocated to Seattle will hold a meeting via conference call Monday. An NBA spokesman confirmed Thursday that the committee, consisting of 12 league owners, will convene on a call instead of in person. Whenever the committee issues a recommendation, NBA owners will have at least seven business days to review the report before a vote can take place. The Maloof family has had an agreement since January to sell a 65 percent controlling interest in the Kings to a Seattle group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has helped put together a competing counteroffer complete with a new arena plan and an ownership group headed by software tycoon Vivek Ranadive. Baseball From Page B1 Meadows – who entered the game as the Cardinals’ leading hitter (.435) and top home run threat (8) – struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch. Most of the afternoon was spent as a pitcher’s duel between Dettwiller and OU starter Taylor Ellis. Both blanked the opposition through the first five innings and allowed just three combined hits – two for the Cardinals and one for the RedStorm. Rio scored a breakthrough without the benefit of a hit in the home sixth when Perez reached on a one-out, threebase throwing error by Ellis and scored when Tamane’s grounder to shortstop was booted for an error. Otterbein came off the mat to grab the lead in the top of the eighth when Harkenrider singled, was bunted into scoring position by Thompson, Meadows was intentionally walked and, after a strikeout of Sean Kettering, pinch-hitter Dylan Holmes and Thomas Linder delivered consecutive run-scoring singles. Senior Vince Perry (Cypress, CA) added a double in the winning effort for Rio. Dettwiller earned his fourth win in five decisions, scattering six hits and five walks over 8-2/3 innings, while Perego notched his first save. Porretta, who entered the game with four saves and a 0.84 earned run average, suffered his first loss in his second decision. Softball From Page B1 at bats and used a threerun fifth inning to seal an easy win. Romualdo and Charity Lawson had RBI groundouts in the first, while Velazquez had a run-scoring groundout and Ziemba added an RBI single in the second for the Cava- two-run single by Megan Dillion. Wise finished with 13 hits as a team, including three each by Wiltshire, Ziemba and Dillion. Zebrowski added two hits and, along with Lawson, Dillion and Velazquez, drove in two runs each. Hawks earned the game two win as well, allowing five hits and striking out three. Both of the Rio runs were unearned. Senior Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH) had two of Rio Grande’s five hits, while freshman starter Jordan Jenkins (Portsmouth, OH) suffered the loss. Rio Grande, which has now lost its last three games, returns to action on Saturday in the MSC Tournament at Domtar Park in Kingsport, Tenn.

A local restaurant chain promises free pizza for ticket-holders any time Reds pitchers whiff at least 11 opponents. It’s paid off six times already in the season’s first three weeks, resulting in more than $100,000 worth of pizzas being given away by LaRosa’s Pizzerias. “First of all, you’ll be talking to another guy the next time you call,” Pete Buscani, LaRosa’s executive vice president for marketing, replied jokingly when asked Tuesday what would happen if the Reds pitchers continue to deliver free pizza at this rate. Monday night’s 16-strikeout performance in a 13-inning victory gave the Reds five straight games with at least 10 strikeouts for the first time in modern Reds franchise history — Saturday’s game ended with 10 strikeouts, the other four were free-pizza games. Buscani said the Reds had 13 free-pizza home games last year, the promotion’s first season. The Reds promote the strikeouts deal on their scoreboard. There’s often a buzzing in the stands as the team’s pitchers near double digits, and cheers erupt when they hit 11. Fans have seven days to redeem tickets, getting an eight-inch pizza with any four toppings, a pie that sells for $6.79. “I think the promotion is fantastic,” fan John Rentz of Cincinnati said via email Tuesday. He said he cashed in nine or 10 times last year and likely will easily top that number this year. “I was actually surprised to see LaRosa’s continue it after the high frequency of times the pitching staff hit 11 strikeouts last year.” While LaRosa’s officials might hear some good-natured grousing from store operators about all the pizza they give away, the chain considers it a big hit. “The real reason to do this is to underscore awareness of our brand and get people to visit,” Buscani said. “This is the best promotion we’ve done in a long time.” He said many customers buy other items when redeeming their game tickets. And, importantly, he said, people come into the stores with big smiles as the promotion builds positive feelings about LaRosa’s, a privately held chain which has 65 stores mostly in the Cincinnati region. The only tweak LaRosa’s has made is asking fans not to cash in until the day after the game, because some stores got swamped by pizza-hungry fans immediately after games, Buscani said. Free food giveaways for sporting events are often popular promotions. Taco Bell offered free tacos for stolen bases during the last World Series, and Louisville, Ky.-based Papa John’s International has had free pizza promotions during NFL seasons and the Super Bowl. LaRosa’s had abandoned an earlier stadium promotion for pizza deliveries to fans phoning from their seats because there weren’t enough takers to justify the manpower needed. They decided last year on the strikeouts deal, after calculations showed they could expect 11 to 13 free-pizza games a year. But with high-strikeout starters such as Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos and Homer Bailey combined with hard-throwing closer Aroldis Chapman, the Reds are nearly halfway to last year’s total with more than five months left. LaRosa’s has been seeing a 13 percent redemption rate among eligible fans, but that could grow as the strikeout tallies gain more attention. At any rate, Buscani said LaRosa’s likes being associated with a winner — the Reds won their division last year and entered Tuesday night’s play in first place. “It’s exciting to be part of what’s been going on at Great American Ball Park the last two seasons,” Buscani said. Cowboys Stadium gets 1st playoff championship game Phil Masturzo | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, left, hugs Dan Gilbert at center court on being named NBA’s Coach of the Year before the start of Game 2 of the NBA first-round playoffs against the Detroit Pistons at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Second chance: Cavs re-hire Mike Brown INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Three years later, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert owned up to a monumental mistake. He’s trying to correct it. Mike Brown gave him a second chance. Conceding publicly for the first time that he should have never fired Brown as Cleveland’s coach during the turbulent summer of 2010, Gilbert said Wednesday he’s thrilled to be able to re-hire the most successful coach in franchise history. Brown, who led the Cavs to the NBA playoffs in each of his five seasons with the club, has reunited with a team he guided to its greatest success and the owner who fired him after Cleveland was eliminated from the 2010 playoffs — not long before LeBron James decided to bolt as a free agent. “Yeah, it was a mistake. Sure it was a mistake,” Gilbert said of his choice to sack Brown. “We have the benefit of hindsight right now, and in hindsight it was a mistake. That summer we went through three years ago was a unique time for us as a franchise and the uncertainty on a lot of levels. We are very happy that we get to rectify any position we took back then. “Maybe he’s meant to be here.” Brown was re-introduced by the Cavs at their training facility following a lightning-fast second courtship with the Cavs he described as “surreal.” Flanked by Gilbert and general manager Chris Grant, Brown was accompanied by his wife, Carolyn, and their teenage sons — just as he was in 2005 when Gilbert took a shot on a then-relatively unknown assistant from Indiana for the first time. Brown, who was fired just five games into this season by the Los Angeles Lakers, said he has no reservations about returning to work for Gilbert or coaching again in Cleveland. “It’s funny how life works out,” he said. “But the one thing that I do I know is from afar, Cleveland has always been special in my heart and in my family’s heart. You feel the commitment from a guy like Dan Gilbert and if it happens, you feel like one of the luckiest guys on the planet. “Things work in a mysterious way and I’m excited to have the opportunity again.” Gilbert opened the news conference by saying, “Welcome to Mike Brown 2.0. We certainly enjoyed 1.0.” Gilbert later joked that he “didn’t want to do a George Steinbrenner imitation or anything,” referring to the late New York Yankees owner’s penchant for hiring and firing manager Billy Martin. Less than a week after firing Byron Scott, the Cavs signed Brown to a guaranteed four-year contract with the club holding an option for the fifth year. The deal is worth approximately $20 million. It’s not immediately known how much of Brown’s owed salary from the Lakers is being absorbed by the Cavs. Brown went 272-138 in his five seasons with Cleveland and, obviously helped by James, got the team beyond the first round of the playoffs each year. He was named the league’s top coach in 2009, led the Cavs to consecutive 60-win seasons and his .652 winning percentage is sixth highest in league history for coaches with at least 400 games. He was the best coach available — by far— to the Cavs, who gauged Phil Jackson’s interest before moving forward. They rehired Brown quickly before anyone else had a shot. The Phoenix Suns are believed to have contacted Brown, who replaced Scott, the man who replaced him in 2010. “I chose to come here,” Brown said. “I probably could have waited. I had another team that had talked to me about possibly taking over. I just didn’t feel it fit. So when I had this opportunity come across my table, initially it was a shocker but I got back to what I thought was the foundation of what these two guys have done and what they believe. Once that happened for me it was easy.” Of course, Brown’s return raises more speculation about what impact it PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The grandest stage in sports was too much for the guys who are putting together the College Football Playoff to pass up. The BCS conference commissioners announced Wednesday that Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, edged Tampa, Fla., in the bidding to be the site of the first championship game in the new playoff system. “The stadium itself was the biggest determiner,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said about the $1.2 billion dollar, 100,000-plus seat home of the NFL’s Cowboys and the Cotton Bowl. “It’s still THE stadium with a capital ‘T.’” The College Football Championship Game will be held Jan. 12, 2015. “We couldn’t be more excited about bringing college football’s biggest game to Cowboys Stadium,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. “Rest assured, we all pledge to do everything we can to make sure this game exceeds everyone’s highest expectations.” The final three sites for the semifinal rotation also were announced during the second of three days of meetings at a resort hotel a few miles from the Rose Bowl. And Cowboys Stadium came up a winner again. The Cotton Bowl will be part of the six-bowl rotation, along with the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta and the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. The Holiday Bowl in San Diego also bid for a spot in the semifinal rotation, but couldn’t pull the upset. The Rose, Orange and Sugar bowls are already part of the semifinal rotation. The Rose and Sugar will host the first semifinals Jan. 1, 2015, The next season, the Cotton and Orange bowls will host the semifinals on New Year’s Eve. The semis will be played in the Fiesta and Chick-fil-A bowls after the 2016 season. In the years those games do not host a national semifinal, they will stage a major, BCS-type bowl game played on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. That means two days of huge college football triple-headers. For the Cotton Bowl and its organizers, landing a spot in the rotation and the first title game is the culmination of a long slow return to prominence for a game with a rich history. The game dates to 1937 and has hosted some of the most memorable matchups in college football, including Notre Dame’s stirring comeback victory led by Joe Montana against Houston in the 1979 game. But when the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998, the Cotton Bowl was left out and lost much of its luster. Organizers for years tried to break into the BCS, but couldn’t overcome the limitations of their antiquated namesake stadium in Dallas. Things turned for the Cotton Bowl when it moved out of the old stadium at the fairgrounds in 2010 and into Cowboys Stadium. When the conference commissioners announced last year that the BCS would be abandoned for a four-team playoff starting in 2014, with the championship game bid out like a Super Bowl, it was all but assumed the Cotton Bowl would be part of the new system and that Cowboys Stadium would be a strong candidate to eventually host a championship game. They didn’t have to wait long to accomplish both goals. “The Cotton Bowl did it right,” Hancock said. “Kept the Cotton Bowl a terrific event, bided their time and now they’re back among the top group.” Tampa made a strong push for the first championship game to be played at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL’s Buccaneers and the Outback Bowl. But Jones’ football palace was too much to overcome. “They were very close. Tampa won a lot of hearts and minds of the commissioners,” Hancock said. Raymond James’ capacity is listed at 65,857, but seated about 71,000 for the Super Bowl. Hancock said neither bidder guaranteed a specific amount of revenue. “Obviously, with 20,000 more tickets certainly there are better revenue opportunities,” Hancock said. As for filling out the rest of the rotation, the sites that got the nod were no surprise. The Fiesta Bowl has been part of the Bowl Championship Series from the start, though its place among the elite bowls was threatened when the Arizona Republic reported in December 2009 allegations of a political-contribution scheme being run by game organizers. It also was revealed the bowl officials were misusing funds. The scandal was an embarrassment to the BCS and the conferences that run it, but the Fiesta Bowl overhauled its front office and implemented reforms that allowed the game to stay in the good graces of the commissioners. “This is a confirmation that that’s all in the rearview mirror,” Fiesta Bowl executive director Robert Shelton said. In the heart of both the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference, Atlanta gives the College Football Playoff a second game in the East, joining the Orange Bowl in Miami. The Chick-fil-A Bowl, formerly the Peach Bowl, has been played in the Georgia Dome since 1992. “For 16 years, we’ve made this our goal,” said Gary Stokan, president of the Chick-fil-A bowl. A new domed stadium is in the works for Atlanta and the Chick-fil-A bowl will move into that when it opens in 2017. The new postseason system was named the College Football Playoff by the conference commissioners Tuesday, the first of three days of meetings at a resort hotel a few miles from the Rose Bowl. Now that the sites are locked in, the only major remaining issue to tackle for the commissioners is the composition and structure of the selection committee, which will pick the teams that play for the national championship. That won’t be finalized at these meetings, but it’s on the agenda and they would like to leave California with a framework in place. could have on the possibility of James one day playing for the Cavs again. James can opt out of his contract with Miami as early as the summer of 2014 and the three-time league MVP has said he could imagine a second stint in Cleveland. On Wednesday night, James said he was “very happy” Brown was back with the Cavs and called him a “really good coach, very defensive-minded coach. “ Gilbert sidestepped any speculation about James. “We honestly talk about today, this year,” Gilbert said. “All that stuff in the media, we can’t control that. We understand why it’s there. We’re focused on this year. You can’t even speculate in the next 12 months on what’s going to happen and where we’re going to be or where anybody else is going to be. You focus on right now.” Scott was fired last week by Gilbert following his third straight losing season, one of injuries, blown leads and long losing streaks. The Cavs dropped 16 of their last 18 under Scott and Gilbert made the move because he felt he wasn’t seeing enough progress and was most disappointed by the Cavs’ defense. While defense is Brown’s forte, his offensive system was constantly criticized in Cleveland. Still, Gilbert said he’s just what the team desired. “To me, it just fits perfect like a puzzle,” Gilbert said. “It all comes together. Mike Brown, what he brings is exactly what this franchise needs right now.” Months before Scott was fired, Brown was planning to move back to Cleveland. He was previously here long enough to understand the city’s hunger for sports, and the area’s longing for a championship. He’s returning to a young squad with a star in guard Kyrie Irving and other interesting parts. He’s back with a team with loads of salary-cap space, two first-round picks in this year’s draft and an owner who says the playoffs are next year’s goal.

(AP) — Mild-mannered Matt Kenseth is spitting mad at NASCAR. The driver for Joe Gibbs Racing spoke out Thursday, one day after his team was slapped with some of the harshest penalties in NASCAR history because his race-winning car at Kansas last week failed postrace inspection. The failure came because one of eight connecting rods in the engine was too light — by 2.7 grams, according to Kenseth, Help Wanted General P/T GREETING CARD MERCHANDISER - Distributor seeking a reliable, self-starter.

He said he’s more upset about the penalties given to car owner Joe Gibbs and his crew chief, Jason Ratcliff.

Ratcliff was suspended for six weeks and fined $200,000. The team is appealing the penalties. Kenseth understands that a rule is a rule, but the part found to be too light was installed by Toyota Racing Development, which builds engines for JGR at a shop in Costa Mesa, Calif., Kenseth said. “They show up on a truck or an airplane, get taken out and bolted in the car,” he said. TDR president Lee White said Wednesday night the company took full responsibility for the mistake and confirmed that JGR had nothing to do with it. He also said the lighter part gave Kenseth no competitive advantage. “There was no intent. It was a mistake.

Your very presence exudes a sense of compassion. You know what you need to do. Keep reaching out for new information and new experiences. If you are single, you could encounter a foreigner who opens you up to an entirely different lifestyle. If you are attached, the two of you will want to meet new people and make new friends. You also might want to revise your goals. SCORPIO is stubborn like you, but he or she can be more mysterious. 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 A serious approach does make a difference in everyone’s response, and you are no exception. Anger comes up in a strange situation where it might not be justified. It could be difficult to tell where it is coming from. Tonight: Listen to a partner’s feedback. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to let a friend at a distance know how rough a situation has become. This person could have some interesting suggestions. Know what you want to do, and then he or she can give you meaningful options for how to proceed. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Understand that what is happening is serious. Realize that you might need to change direction. Your ability to state your case makes an impact on others. Listen to suggestions with more care. A boss could be a lot clearer than you are. Tonight: Go with the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. Be willing to brainstorm in order to find solutions. Honor a change more carefully. You could feel as if someone is pushing hard to get his or her way. If this person goes too far, you could lose your patience. Tonight: Let your hair down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to move forward and try a different approach. Listen to your sixth sense with a situation involving your personal and/ or domestic life. You might need to change your environment in order to feel better, even if it’s just for a few hours. Tonight: Make it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH How you handle a personal matter could change greatly if you are not careful. Listen to news with greater awareness, as you might want to take action. Your caring will come through, even if you need to establish boundaries. Tonight: Say “yes” to a friend’s suggestion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your intuition is right on about a money matter; still, check out the investment carefully. Your creativity adds a lot to any situation. Don’t allow anyone to interfere with your chosen direction. Tonight: You might go overboard, especially if you meet up with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You are a strong-willed sign. If you feel challenged, you sometimes will become defiant or even quiet. The good news is that, even if you’re stressed, you could see an opportunity to be more chipper. Let go of seriousness for now. Tonight: Let the good times happen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You’ll want to review a situation more carefully. You might need some downtime or distance from a problem. At this point, you could feel somewhat negative. Detach if this is the case. Take a walk to clear your head. Tonight: Consider making it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be very difficult and somewhat testy without intending to be. Emphasize a goal, but do not give your power away. You don’t need to be controlling — you simply need to honor your boundaries. Reach out to someone at a distance. Tonight: You are in the midst of a change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Listen to news openly before making a final decision. More news is forthcoming. A serious situation demands your full attention. A boss or higher-up could be watching your performance. Listen to feedback. Tonight: A late meeting could turn into a fun happening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to be more understanding. By holding on to judgments, you will not be able to hear the true story. Imagine what it would be like to be the other person. You might get more insight as to where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Break past barriers.
