Tracewell, 75 50 cents daily THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 75 Southern excels in on-site review of programs Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The Southern Local School District in Racine, Ohio recently underwent its statewide on-site review for Federal Programs and Title VI-IDEA Special Education Programs. In each instance, both programs were found to be in excellent condition. In addition to the Title VIIDEA school age review, Title VI-IDEA Preschool and Gifted Programs were evaluated for compliance. Southern’s Special Education and Gifted programs were 95 percent and 100 percent compliant. The Title Programs were also found to be fully compliant as per Federal guidelines. The Ohio Department of Education (ODE), Office for Exceptional Children summary begins, “The Ohio Department of Education’s Office for Exceptional Children would like to extend appreciation to the district staff for their efforts, attention and time committed to the com- pletion of the review processes.” Educational consultants from the Office for Exceptional Children (OEC) conducted IDEA review activities on February 12-14, 2013. During the IDEA Review, OEC consultants monitored the LEA’s implementation of IDEA to ensure compliance. OEC focused the review on the following areas: Child Find; Delivery of Services; Least Restrictive Environment; and Data Verification. Only three findings of school age children on-campus at Southern were cited for review of a total of 60 components for a 95 percent compliance rating; pre-school age components in “Measurable Goals” and “Specifically Designed Instruction” were shared citations with the schoolage programs for a total of five instances needing correction in the submission of a “Corrective Action Plan” (CAP). Although only four transition IEP’s were reviewed, two had findings thus meeting the OEC definition of a “finding” in this area. In the exit meeting for the onsite review, an ODE representative commended Southern for its pursuit of excellence, and noted that the review was among “one of the top three” that this particular team has reviewed in the state over the past five years. OEC Consultant Stephanie Falor added, “Your Childfind and ETR components were perfect at 10 for 10.

Arranged by Debbie Lowery, fifth grade science teacher, families work together combining glue and borax mixed with water to make slim. Students celebrate science fun Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — There was something for everyone to enjoy at the recent Meigs Intermediate School Science Family Fun Night, where everything from making slim to learning about bugs and amphibians to developing creative science displays, was included in rooms where different activities were being carried out — explained, demonstrated or judged. Agency representatives there to take part in the workshops included Jenny Ridenour of the Meigs County Soil and Water Conservation District with bugs and amphibians, Lindsey Rist of the Division of Wildlife, talked about skulls and skins, and Chris Gilkey, Meigs County Game Warden who gave a program on fishing and fish and their habitats. Alex Tillis, Jarrett Otworth, Haley Wilson and Adriahna Patterson, students in Kathy Hudson’s Meigs High science classes, had two science workshops for the students, a program on environmental outreach was presented by Joe Jennings, an OU graduate student, and tower power given by Christa Hahn, Meigs Middle School science coach. Receiving the top science awards for their exhibits were Austin Mahr, first, for Speedy Speedsters, Ty Collins, second for Fun with Electromagnets, and third, Bobby Mussier for Mint Busters. Other science fair award winners in their respective classes were: Barr/Welker Class: Bailey Swatzel and Brooke Brainard for Color my World, first; Dawson McClure, Rockin’ Plants; and Cole Arnott and Jacob Jordan, Do the Dew. Hill/Fogle Class: Maci Hood and Annie McGrath, for Fabric of Our Lives, first; Kari Brinker for Germs, Germs, Germs, second, and Zach Williams for Salty Plants, third.

Cole C. Miller, 29, Gallipolis, is scheduled to appear at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, May 24 before Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans for a competency hearing following the defendant’s recent psychological evaluation. The defendant stands accused of attempted aggravated murder, three counts of felonious assault, one count of obstructing official business and one count of resisting arrest following the events of September 24, 2012. Miller was arrested during the early morning hours of September 24 after he fired upon police officers who had responded to his residence on McCormick Road in reference to a neighbor dispute. Reportedly, Miller had confronted his neighbor, and, prior to the arrival of the officers, had shot a car belonging to his neighbor. Despite the fact that Miller’s residence lies just outside the Gallipolis City limits, Gallipolis City Police Officers were requested to respond to the scene as all the available Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputies had been dispatched to the southern portion of the county in reference to a methamphetamine lab earlier that evening. Miller, who allegedly refused to exit his residence, fired shots at two city police officers and one sheriff’s deputy who arrived on scene shortly after the officers. Patrolman Jamie Bartels of the Gallipolis Police Department was wounded during the incident, receiving a gunshot wound in the arm, and was rushed to the Holzer Medical Center Emergency Room by an fellow city police officer who quickly arrived on scene. Following the shooting, Miller surrendered to the officers and was taken into custody without incident.

Most military sexual assault cases go unreported WASHINGTON (AP) — They are young, often low-ranking service members out on the weekend in the late night and early morning hours. Sometimes they’ve been drinking. Often those who sexually assault them are in the armed forces, too. But in the vast majority of military sexual assault cases — as many as 22,000 in 2012 — the vic- tim chooses not to report the attack or unwanted sexual contact. Sexual assaults across the military are a growing epidemic. In releasing a massive report Tuesday, Pentagon leaders continued to struggle with how to combat the problem and give victims enough confidence in the system to come forward. Despite a slew of new oversight and assistance programs, troubling new numbers estimate that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, according to results of a survey. Of those, fewer than 3,400 reported the incident, and nearly 800 of them simply sought help but declined to file complaints against their alleged attackers. The statistics emerged against a backdrop of scandals, including an ongoing investigation into more than 30 Air Force instructors for assaults on trainees at a Texas base. And the report comes just days after the Air Force’s head of sexual assault prevention was arrested on charges of groping a woman in a Northern Virginia parking lot. Congressional outrage over these incidents and a decision by an Air Force officer to overturn a jury’s guilty verdict in a sexual assault case is producing sweeping legislation that two House members plan to introduce on Wednesday. Reps. Mike Turner, ROhio, and Niki Tsongas, D-Mass., are proposing stripping an officer’s authority to change or dismiss a court-martial conviction in major cases, such as sexual assault. Their bill would also require that an individual found guilty of rape, sexual assault, forcible sodomy and an attempt to commit any of those offenses be either dismissed or dishonorably discharged. “Our effort is to try to get some standardized guidelines as to punishment for sexual assault convictions, taking it out of the chain of command and instilling some standards that can have a preventive effect on perpetrators,” Turner said Wednesday. “We want the stories to stop of people who are guilty of sexual assault and then stay around to the anguish of the victims.” Turner said they worked with the Pentagon and the Senate on the bill that likely will be included in the massive defense policy measure that the House will consider this summer. In a sharp rebuke Tuesday, President Barack Obama said he has no tolerance for the problem and said he had talked to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about it. He said any military member found guilty of sexual assault should be held accountable, prosecuted and fired. “I don’t want just more speeches or awareness programs or training, or ultimately folks look the other way,” the president said. “We’re going to have to not just step up our game, we have to exponentially step up our game to go after this hard.” Hagel later gave a grim assessment, saying the military “may be nearing a stage where the frequency of this crime and the perception that there is tolerance of it could very well undermine our ability to effectively carry out the mission and to recruit and retain the good people we need.” The documents show that the number of sexual assaults reported by members of the military rose 6 FRENCH 500 FLEA MARKET Gallia Co Jr Fairgrounds US 160 and Old US 35 (Jackson Pike) May 10, 11, 12 June 14, 15, 16 • July 12, 13, 14 60413462 60411900 Phone (740)446-4120 Hours: 8am - 5pm Inside or Outside Dealer Spaces percent to 3,374 in 2012. But a survey of personnel who were not required to reveal their identities showed the number of service members actually assaulted could be as many as 26,000, but they never reported the incidents, officials said Tuesday. That number is an increase over the 19,000 estimated assaults in 2011. The statistics highlight the dismal results that military leaders have achieved in their drive to change the culture within the ranks, even as the services redoubled efforts to launch new programs to assist the victims, encourage reporting and increase commanders’ vigilance. Hagel ordered a series of steps and reviews to increase officers’ accountability for what happens under their commands and to inspect workstations for objectionable materials, according to memos and documents obtained by The Associated Press. Hagel also told military leaders to develop a method to assess commanders and hold them accountable on their ability to create a climate “of dignity and respect.” He has given commanders until July 1 to visually inspect workspaces to make sure they are free of degrading materials, and military leaders have until Nov. 1 to recommend ways to assess officers and hold them accountable for their command climates. “Sexual assault is a crime that is incompatible with military service and has no place in this department,” Hagel said in a new response plan. “It is an affront to the American values we defend, and it is a stain on our honor. DoD needs to be a national leader in combating sexual assault and we will establish an environment of dignity and respect, where sexual assault is not tolerated, condoned or ignored.” Across Capitol Hill, lawmakers demanded the Pentagon take more aggressive steps to address the growing problem and they announced renewed efforts to pass legislation to battle the problem. This week’s sexual battery arrest of Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski, who headed the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response unit, provided a rallying point for lawmakers, who held it up Tuesday as an example of the Pentagon’s failure to make progress despite the increased effort. �Thursday, May 9, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Worcester police: Get suspect’s body out of city BOSTON (AP) — The dispute over where to bury suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev escalated Wednesday as a Massachusetts police chief urged someone to step forward with a cemetery plot, saying: “We are not barbarians. We bury the dead.” Worcester police Chief Gary Gemme’s plea came a day after he said that a deal struck Monday to bury the 26-year-old’s remains at a state prison site dissolved, with state officials no longer offering cooperation Tuesday. State corrections officials didn’t immediately return a phone message Wednesday. Police said it’s costing the department tens of thousands of dollars to provide security at the funeral home that is holding Tsarnaev’s body, and officer details are wasting precious resources. Gemme said sending the body to Russia is “not an option” because of the wishes of Tsarnaev’s uncle, who has taken responsibility for burying him. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino on Tuesday suggested returning the suspect’s remains to Russia, when he also said through an aide that he didn’t want the bombing suspect buried in Boston. Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan has said none of the 120 offers of graves from the U.S. and Canada have worked out because officials in those cities and towns don’t want the body. At the same time, U.S. law enforcement officials have been trying to determine whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev was indoctrinated or trained by militants during a 2012 visit to Dagestan, a Caspian Sea province that has become the center of a simmering Islamic insurgency. On Tuesday, FBI director Robert Mueller discussed the bombing investigation with his Russian counterparts during a trip to Moscow. The U.S. and Russia have been collaborating on a criminal investigation into the late 26-year-old and his brother, 19-year-old bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Authorities allege the two brothers carried out the April 15 bombings near the race’s finish line, using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. The attack killed three people and in- jured more than 260 others. Tamerlan died following a gunbattle with police, and authorities captured Dzhokhar after a massive manhunt following his escape from the same encounter. The younger brother is now in a prison hospital, facing charges that could bring the death penalty. On Tuesday, the father of a student charged with conspiracy in the Boston Marathon bombing case said his son believes Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is “not a human” if he’s responsible for the attacks. Amir Ismagulov, the father of Azamat Tazhayakov, also insisted during an Associated Press interview that his son is not a terrorist. He said he has visited his son once in prison since arriving in the United States from Kazakhstan more than a week ago. He said he left flowers several times at a memorial near the Boston Marathon finish line at the 19-year-old’s request. “Azamat loves the United States and the people of the United States,” Ismagulov said as Arkady Bukh, his son’s new Russian-speaking lawyer, translated for him. “He is not aggres- sive. He is not a terrorist. He is a simple boy.” Tazhayakov is in a federal prison on charges that he conspired to destroy, conceal and cover up objects belonging to Tsarnaev, a college friend from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if found guilty. Ismagulov, 46, who works in the oil field business in Kazakhstan, described his son as an engineering student who was “happy in life” before “in one day, his life was shattered.” He said Tazhayakov told him “it took days to get out of the shock because of the accusations” against him. Bukh, a New York City lawyer from the former Soviet Union, said Tazhayakov’s family is “absolutely devastated” over the bombings. He stressed that Tazhayakov was cooperating with the government before his arrest last week. The lawyer said his client helped hand over Tsarnaev’s laptop to the FBI on April 19 after he and friend Dias Kadyrbayev learned that federal agents were looking for them. Kadyrbayev also is charged with obstruction of justice in the bombing case. A third college friend, Robel Phillipos, got out of federal lockup on $100,000 bond Monday while awaiting trial for allegedly lying to federal investigators. Tazhayakov’s next court date is May 14, but Bukh said arguing for his release would be a “problematic issue” in part because immigration agents could try to detain him again even if he satisfies bail conditions. Authorities initially charged Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev with violating the terms of their student visas while attending UMass Dartmouth. Immigration officials said Tuesday that they have temporarily suspended the immigration court proceedings against the two men but will continue the immigration removal process after their criminal cases are resolved. The FBI has alleged that on April 18, just hours after surveillance camera photos of the Tsarnaev brothers became public, the three students went to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s dorm room and removed his backpack and laptop computer. Programs From Page 1 in the State. Generally, there are always some findings and Carolee on behalf of the Southern team, ‘got it right’.” Carolee Richards is the School Psychologist at both Southern and Eastern, contracted through the Athens-Meigs Education Service Center. Additionally, Richards received praises from Southern Special Education Director Scott Wolfe. A finding of non-compliance exists when 30 percent or more of the records reviewed by OEC and substantiated through other data sources must be included in a comprehensive corrective action plan. Since two of four reviewed IEP’s with transition met this requirement, a finding became official. Southern Superintendent Tony Deem noted, “I commend our Special Education staff, the general education staff, and the administration for doing a great job and having our records in order. This is a team effort and ultimately as a result of great teamwork we had very commendable results. The bottom line is doing what is best for the kids and getting results.” Director Scott Wolfe concurred, “Indeed, this was a team effort. We are fortunate to work with great pre-school staffs across the county, and also we are fortunate to have a great staff in-house here at Southern. Additionally, we have a good working relationship with Carleton school and their staff both at a pre-school level and at the Developmental Disabilities level. “ Southern, like other Meigs County Schools, has its own pre-school, but also has students served in other preschools across the county. “We are accountable for all of our students,” noted Wolfe, “No matter what site they are taught at.” Although Southern does have self-contained units at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, the majority of the special education students served on the Southern campus are served in the inclusion classroom with the general education students. As a result, test scores have improved every year on the OAA. Wolfe added, “We have some great co-teaching situations here at Southern. The classroom environment for all students is much-improved because the teacher to student ratio is cut in half. Additionally, we have been able to help many of our at-risk students.” Wolfe noted, however, that IEP students “must be served first” by the Intervention Specialist in the classroom. Wolfe added that not only do his teachers do a commendable job in the classroom, but they also “are well organized” and “very good at collecting and analyzing data for the IEP writing.” Wolfe commended all of his teaching staff, the general ed staff, support staff, and fellow administrators. “I cannot emphasize how much cooperation it takes to be successful,” added Wolfe. “We do have a great team here at Southern and that is what makes it work so well. It was the special ed team that was under the microscope, however, and they rose to the occasion and I praise them for that.” “I also want to congrat- ulate Carolee (Richards) for earning great praises from ODE. She does all of us a great job and especially collects accurate data to best serve our students. Also, I want to thank Vicki Northup, Special Programs Secretary, for all of her work and behind-the-scenes organization.” Other data associated with the review shows that Southern was 226 of 226 for ChildFind, a 100 percent compliance ranking. There were 863 areas reviewed, 12 sub areas not reviewed, and 785 of 863 were totally compliant for a 91.3% ranking, which includes preschool services. Southern posted a 98.1 Data Verification ranking, and a 91.5 percent Least Restrictive Environment compliance. No discipline noncompliance for IEP students was found (100 percent). IEP writing has evolved and morphed over the past several years, leaving teachers at various stages of their career at different levels and under different training strategies for compliance. Southern identified this issue in the fall as was well ahead of the game in taking corrective action towards some items noted in the review. Debra Buck of the Region 16 State Support Team worked with Southern teachers throughout the fall to work on writing uniform, compliant IEP’s across the special ed spectrum. Buck too praised the Southern team for a job well done, and for taking steps to be compliant prior to the review. The review was over IEP’s written during the 2011-12 school year. “When I first spoke with our consultant Stephanie Falor, she told me, ‘I am not here to beat your team up, I am here to make you better! I am now a part of your team’,” said Wolfe. “Ms. Falor was very accommodating and her working with our department has indeed made us better. If our staff is better, then we can better serve kids and that is what it is all about.” “Most of our corrective action is a matter of ‘cleaning-up’ the language in the IEP,” concluded Wolfe. Southern has submitted its corrective action plan to OEC for approval of its systemic corrections and Individual corrections will be reviewed with parents at IEP meetings. Special Education teachers recognized in the district were Patty Taylor, Patty Cook, Amy Roush, Erin Lisle, Autumn Lisle, Chris Stout, Lisa Schenkelberg, Scott Cleland, Jessica Sikorski, Rachel Cornell, Carolee Richards, and Marsha Weaver. Educational aides are Stephanie Allen, Jeannie Allen, Brittany Hill, and Evelyn Stanley. The SLSD TAG teacher is Kaylyn Spradling. In the Gifted/TAG review, Southern was 100 percent compliant. Iden- tification of Students and the analyzing of WEP’s were the main focus of the many components the OEC reviewed in this area. All school districts in Ohio reporting services to gifted students must have on file a copy of a Written Education Plan (WEP) for each student identified. Jennifer Roush headed this review. In her first year as the Supervisor, Roush provided accurate data, and was found to be fully compliant. Roush noted that it was a lot of work to get things in order, but that she too was “both satisfied and relieved”. The Federal Programs review under Wolfe also was fully compliant. BUNDLE & SAVE!

You have a responsibility.” My Mom had a gift of 89 years, 89 years to live her life; 89 years to meet her goals; 89 years. This gift of time, for Mom, for all of us, is also a responsibility. “You have a gift. You have a responsibility.” When Mom moved into her last earthly home, at The Home, she could no longer walk. She had lost her husband, twice. She was losing her memory. She had given up her home. She had lost much of her freedom. We asked many people to pray for her, and I prayed that she could walk again. I prayed that she could move back to a lesser level of care. I prayed that we could play Scrabble again. I prayed for her in her times of weakness. But she wasn’t finished. She had a gift of eleven more months. She had a gift. She had a responsibility. The first time I ate with Mom at The Home I looked at her, held her hand, and asked her to say grace. I expected her to thank God for the food, and I expected her to pray for her own needs as she recovered from surgery. But instead, I heard her say, “Father, help me to be a blessing to the people in my new home.” She had a gift of time; she had a responsibility. Over the next few weeks, as the staff got to know Mom, sometimes they would have trouble remembering her name. Bethel, House of God, is not your typical modern name, and it took the staff, quite understandably, a while to learn it. When they couldn’t remember her name, we often heard them say something like, “You mean the nice lady who lives at the end of the hall?” That was my Mom; she was already fulfilling her responsibility. Mother learned to meet her responsibility, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” She demonstrated a kind attitude, contentment, calmness, great appreciation for everyone who served her in any way. At The Home, they cried for Mom when she died. Those who worked with Mom, those who lived with Mom, had become part of her life. They were a blessing to each other. Their lives became raveled together with ours. Mom had a gift, she fulfilled her responsibility. Mother, you have passed so many gifts on to those who knew you. Thank you for your gifts. If I can meet my responsibilities one-tenth as much as you did, I will honor you, your memory, and our God. Thank you, Mom, for your legacy; thank you for my inheritance. Dr. Gary L.

Ohio is well positioned to be a key player in the supply chain for electric vehicles, according to a new report released today by Policy Matters Ohio. Other states, however, are working harder to develop the next generation of automobiles by promoting early adoption of the technology. The state can help drive demand with fleet requirements and smart incentives that come with strong standards and accountability. In the past, the Ohio Department of Transportation has used flexible federal funds to support green transit vehicle adoption. In 2010, Ohioans spent $45 billion on energy. Nearly half of it went to fuel for cars, trucks and buses, and nearly all of it went to import oil. “Ohio can reduce its dependence on imported oil by promoting electric vehicles, buses, passenger rail and freight rail,” said Amanda Woodrum, Policy Matters researcher and report author. “Electric vehicle adoption in Ohio offers a tremendous opportunity for consumers to save money on fuel costs and maintenance over the life of the vehicle,” said Cynthia Maves of Clean Fuels Ohio, the leading advocate for electric vehicles in the state. “This savings will have a positive impact on Ohio’s economy.” Smart local policies can make a difference, too. Exciting examples include aggregated power purchase in Cincinnati, community-wide green development in Oberlin, Sustainable Cleveland 2019, and the city of Cuyahoga Falls’ Community Energy Strategic Plan. In these cities, electric vehicles will be running on up to 100 percent clean power, much of it from domestic resources. The state of Ohio can support local efforts and the development of the state’s electric-vehicle supply chain by: • Creating a Transportation Choice fund in the state transportation budget; • Expanding Ohio’s Advanced Energy Fund and using it to provide grants, rebates, vouchers and low-interest loans to promote the adoption of electric vehicles; • Protecting and expanding state clean energy laws; • Identifying existing Ohio manufacturers that can participate in the electric vehicle supply chain, helping them retool to meet the needs of the industry, and investing in related research and development. “We can use smart policy to ensure that Ohio uses homegrown electricity from cleaner energy sources to fuel our cars and trucks in the future,” said Woodrum. “Ohio has many opportunities, but other states are working harder to develop this new industry.” To join Clean Fuels Ohio and the Great Lakes Energy Task Force for the EV Readiness Workshop in Cleveland tomorrow (May 9), and get engaged in the Drive Electric Ohio initiative, register here: www. evreadiness-workshop.eventbrite.com. Policy Matters Ohio is a nonprofit, nonpartisan state policy research institute with offices in Cleveland and Columbus. Clean Fuels Ohio, a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the use of cleaner, domestic fuels and efficient vehicles, developed the Drive Electric Ohio initiative to advance the adoption and deployment of electric vehicles for both passenger and fleet vehicles in Ohio. www.driveelectricohio.org/evplan/. Scranton shared close bond with NBC’s ‘The Office’ Michael Rubinkam The Associated Press SCRANTON, Pa. — NBC’s long-running “The Office” was a faux documentary about cubicle life. The Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. didn’t exist. Try telling that to merchants, tourism officials and regular folks here in the real-world city of 76,000, for whom the Emmywinning comedy — which ends its nine-season run next week — had a tangible and lasting impact. Even though “The Office” was shot in California, it was set in Scranton, and every “Office” booze cruise on Lake Wallenpaupack, shopping excursion to the Steamtown mall and after-work party at Poor Richard’s Pub meant real cash in real registers as the show’s intensely loyal fans flocked to northeastern Pennsylvania to see where their favorite charac- ters lived, worked and played. “If people weren’t talking about Scranton before this show aired,” said Tracy Barone, executive director of the Lackawanna County Convention and Visitors Bureau, “they were talking about it afterward.” Plenty of TV series have been set in real places, but “The Office” was different. Residents and businesses in Scranton donated hundreds of props over the years, and the show gave shoutouts and notoriety to dozens of local landmarks, from restaurants to radio stations. Fans of the cult comedy from around the country still come to Cooper’s Seafood House — a 65-year-old, family-run restaurant that boasts a lighthouse and full-size pirate ship — to see where clueless boss Michael Scott and his put-upon “Office” underlings got their grub. “They’ll say, can you tell us where they sat and ate, what The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

The University of Scranton earned a few mentions on the show, too, and the school’s admission staff continues to use “The Office” to woo prospective students. While the Scranton references were fun, they also served a purpose for the show’s writers and actors. “‘The Office’ was all about being real, small and real, in the beginning, especially. So it really helped to have a place to be thinking about that was very specific,” said executive producer Greg Daniels. Daniels and “Office” stars John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and other members of the cast and crew paid a visit to Scranton last weekend to show their appreciation of the city, and thousands of adoring fans loved them back. NBC will air a segment on the “Wrap Party” as part of its May 16 primetime tribute to “The Office” — another valuable bit of free publicity. It was Krasinski who filmed the show’s opening montage in Scranton, and he said the city became a character in its own right. “It’s kind of the backbone of what we’re doing,” he said. “The whole thing of playing ordinary people comes from the idea that we’re all living in Scranton.” Yet even as Scranton made “The Office” seem more authentic, the show remained a work of fiction, and Scranton very much a real place with its share of triumphs and tragedies. If anyone needed a reminder, it came only a few hours after the end of the Wrap Party, when a Lackawanna College student was killed by gunfire — the city’s first homicide in nearly two years. And it wasn’t so long ago that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The city, about 120 miles northwest of New York, fell on hard times after the coal industry tanked, and jobs were slow to return. Northeastern Pennsylvania still has the highest unemployment rate in the state. But “The Office” helped turned Scranton into something of a tourist attraction — some 3,500 visitors have taken the official “Office” tour of landmarks mentioned on the show — and downtown has been revitalized into a vibrant urban center with lots of new restaurants, businesses and apartments. Out-of-town journalists took note, writing dozens of favorable travel pieces after Scranton hosted a wildly successful convention for “Office” fans in 2007, at the height of the show’s popularity. Mayor Chris Doherty said the Emmy-winning series is a point of pride.

The Defendant’s competency not only affects his competency to stand trial but also the Defendant’s ability to understand and communicate with counsel in negotiating a resolution prior to trial. Based on the historical factors specific to this Defendant and counsel’s interactions with him, counsel must ensure that the Defendant is able to understand the nature of the proceedings and that he has the psychological ability to make the important decisions required of him.” The memorandum also states that, while the attorney for the defendant is not a psychologist, Miller’s “apparent mental illness” does limit his ability to take part in his own defense. “The evaluation will ensure that the Defendant’s decision regarding a plea or to go forward with a trial is constitutional,” the entry states. “If the Defendant is denied the right to fully consider a plea agreement and is found guilty by a jury without first having his psychological condition evaluated to determine his competency to stand trial or his competency to enter a plea agreement, the Defendant’s constitutional rights would be violated.” A response to the defendant’s motion for a psychological exam filed on December 7 by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Eric Mulford urges the court to overrule the motion to the extent that the defendant seek a psychological examination at the expense of the state. “Here, Defendant has retained counsel, there has been no showing of indigency, and Ohio Revised Code Section 2945.371 indicates that a trial court may order an evaluation, but does not require that the same be at the state’s expense. Defendant has the option of obtaining a psychological eval- uation at his own expense and raising the issue of competency if he so desires.” A hearing on all pending motions in this case was subsequently scheduled for February 8, and was later continued to Monday, March 4. A journal entry filed following the March hearing states that the defendant presented various documents concerning his competency to stand trial, and, after review, the court found that the defendant should be psychologically evaluated. The Forensic Diagnostic Center of District Nine, a certified forensic center designated by the Department of Mental Health, subsequently examined the defendant to determine his competency to stand trial and whether the defendant is “capable of understanding the nature and objective of the proceedings against him and capable of presently assisting in his defense.” On May 2, a journal entry filed with the Clerk of Courts and signed by Judge Evans schedules the May 24 competency hearing prior to any further proceedings in this case.

Atlanta took two of three in the series, the first the Reds lost at home this season. The Reds are 13-6 at Great American Ball Park, the most home wins the majors. Devin Mesoraco and Shin-Soo Choo hit two-out homers in the ninth inning for Cincinnati’s 5-4 win on Tuesday night. A day later, one of the NL’s top power teams got the better of it. Atlanta came into the game tied with Colorado for the NL lead with 44 homers. Uggla had solo shots in the fourth and sixth innings off Mike Leake (2-2), his first multihomer game this season. Leake pitched into the eighth, ending a streak of six straight subpar starts by the Reds rotation. Francisco’s slam off J.J. Hoover highlighted a five-run eighth inning. The Braves obtained Francisco in a trade with the Reds last year for Hoover. Jordan Schafer had three hits, and Andrelton Simmons had a career-high four hits in the top two spots in Atlanta’s lineup. Left-hander Mike Minor (42) allowed four hits in seven innings, including Zack Cozart’s homer in the third. Jay Bruce had a solo shot in the ninth off Anthony Varvaro. The game matched starting pitchers taken back-to-back in the 2009 amateur draft. Minor was taken seventh out of Vanderbilt, with Leake drafted next out of Arizona State. There was a replay review in the fourth, when Evan Gattis hit a long foul down the third base line. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez talked to the umpires, who reviewed the play for 3 minutes, 5 seconds and upheld the call. Gattis struck out on the next pitch. Up came Uggla, who homered on the following pitch to tie it at 1. Uggla is 4 for 10 career off Leake with three homers. Both teams wasted early bases-loaded opportunities. Cincinnati loaded the bases with no outs in the second. Donald Lutz flied out to left field, and Gattis threw out Brandon Phillips at the plate as he tagged on the play. The Braves loaded the bases with one out in the third before Freddie Freeman grounded into a double play. In addition to all the homers, there were a lot of strikeouts in a series matching teams that rank first and second in the NL at failing to make contact. The Braves fanned 32 times during the three games, giving Atlanta a league-leading 304. The Reds are next with 278. NOTES: The Braves head to San Francisco for a four-game series. The Reds are off Thursday before hosting Milwaukee. … Uggla has a six-game hitting streak. … Simmons has seven multi-hit games in his last 16. … Braves C Brian McCann, who returned from the DL at the start of the series, got the day off. McCann had surgery on his throwing shoulder last October. … The Reds’ 5-4 win on Tuesday night marked the first time since 1977 that Cincinnati won a game with a pair of two-out homers in the ninth. Dan Driessen and Johnny Bench had homers off Philadelphia’s Tug McGraw for a 6-5 win. Driessen’s homer was inside the park. Point, Wahama aiming for success Ed Suba Jr. | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, right, poses for a picture with a Browns fan in the Dawg Pound during first-half action against the Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, Friday, Aug. 24, 2012. Browns owner apologizes to fans WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) — Jimmy Haslam shook hands, shared laughs and talked some football with his newest customers. After some troubling weeks, the Browns owner finally got a chance to tell Cleveland fans he was sorry that he had let them down. Embarrassed by a federal investigation of fraud inside his truck-stop company, Haslam apologized Monday night to Browns fans for being a distraction and promised to bring Cleveland a winning team. Haslam, who bought the Browns last year from Randy Lerner, was the featured speaker at the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation’s 25th annual scholar-athlete banquet. It was one of Haslam’s first public appearances in Ohio since the FBI raided the headquarters of Pilot Flying J, his family’s business, last month as part of an investigation into an alleged fraud scheme. From a dais that included Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and former Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel, Haslam spoke to a packed banquet room and then held a brief news conference afterward when he offered his regrets about his recent legal troubles. “I apologize to the city of Cleveland, Northeastern Ohio and all Browns fans because the last thing we ever wanted to do as a new owner was detract from football and the Browns and just what a great football area this is, and so I apologize for that,” Haslam said. “We feel badly about it and we’re very comfortable we’ll work through this situation.” Following the speech, Haslam did not answer any questions during a 10-minute meeting with local media members. He was pressed about his knowledge of the purported fraud at Pilot Flying J, a company founded by his father 54 years ago, but politely declined to answer. Haslam spoke with a few Browns employees, exited the building through a rear entrance, climbed into a waiting SUV and left the banquet facility more than an hour before the event concluded. It has been a trying few weeks for Haslam. Federal agents raided Pilot’s headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn., on April 15. A few days later, the FBI released a 120-page affidavit that alleged members of Pilot’s sales team deliberately withheld rebates to boost profits. Haslam said he was unaware that any of his employees See OWNER ‌| 8 Photos by Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel The softball teams at Point Pleasant and Wahama will be aiming to get another step closer to the state tournament Thursday night when their respective regional semifinals contests kickoff at home.

(AP) — A NASCAR appeals panel sided with Joe Gibbs Racing on Wednesday and eased some of the penalties imposed for having an illegal part in Matt Kenseth’s race-winning engine at Kansas last month. NASCAR punished JGR after discovering during a post-race inspection that one of eight connecting rods in the engine at the April 21 race did not meet the minimum weight requirement. The part was too light by 3 grams, less than the weight of an envelope. JGR did not dispute the part was illegal, but argued the penalties were too severe because it leases its engines from manufacturer Toyota and is not permitted to touch anything inside of them. Toyota accepted responsibility and insisted one light rod did not give Kenseth a performance advantage. The three-member National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel agreed and dramatically reduced almost every penalty. The points deducted from Kenseth were reduced from 50 to 12, which moves him from 11th in the standings to fourth. The panel also reinstated the three bonus points he earned for the victory for seeding in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The panel also reduced crew chief Jason Ratcliff’s suspension from six races to one race, and eliminated the six-race suspension for owner Joe Gibbs. It let stand Ratcliff’s $200,000 fine. The only action the panel took was increasing Toyota’s penalty from a five-point fine to seven points. Gibbs said he was done with the process and would not appeal anything further. “Right now, we just want to get back to racing,” the team owner said. NASCAR is not eligible to appeal anything further to chief appellate officer John Middlebrook. Spokesman Kerry Tharp said the sanctioning body was disappointed in the decision. “Our sport has a due process system in place that has served this sport very well for more than 65 years, and that due process resulted in this decision here today,” Tharp said. “While we are disappointed by today’s outcome, we stand firmly behind our inspection process. The inspection of engines, and engine parts and pieces has always been regarded as the holy grail throughout the industry — that along with fuel and tires. �Thursday, May 9, 2013 Notices Yard Sale Pictures that have been placed in ads at the Gallipolis Daily Tribune must be picked within 30 days.

QB Clint Trickett transferring to West Virginia MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia says former Florida State quarterback Clint Trickett is now a Mountaineer. West Virginia football spokesman Mike Montoro confirmed Trickett’s transfer Wednesday. Trickett was released from his Florida State scholarship last month. The junior is on target to graduate this month and can transfer and be eligible to play in the fall. He’ll have two years of eligibility remaining. Trickett had been competing for the Seminoles’ starting job during spring practice that wrapped up in mid-April. He’ll compete in West Virginia’s fall camp with Paul Millard and Ford Childress for the starting job left by the departed Geno Smith. Trickett’s father, Rick, spent six seasons as offensive line coach at West Virginia before leaving for the same job at Florida State in 2007. West Virginia signs F Jonathan Holton MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Junior college transfer Jonathan Holton has signed to play at West Virginia. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins says the 6-foot-7 Holton is a prototype Big 12 forward and should give the Mountaineers immediate help on the front line. Holton averaged 17.5 points and 14.1 rebounds per game last season at Palm Beach (Fla.) State Community College. He played at Rhode Island as a freshman in 2011-12, averaging 10.2 points and 8.1 rebounds. While at Rhode Island, campus police arrested Holton in March 2012 on felony charges that he videotaped consensual sexual encounters with two 20-yearold female students without their knowledge. He was suspended from the team after the incident. The case is pending in Rhode Island Superior Court. Holton will have two years of eligibility remaining. From Page 6 were scheming customers and was deeply troubled by the assertions, calling them “sickening.” Haslam reviewed the steps he has taken while the probe continues and reiterated he’s doing all he can to gain back the trust of Pilot Flying J’s customers. He said he has personally spoken to “between 250 and 300” trucking companies and that some customers have been paid money they were owed. “The important thing is to get it right,” Haslam said. “I’d like to get it wrapped up by the end of the month, but if it takes until early June, early July, we’re going to get the numbers right and if we owe X, Y, Z trucking company, we’ll write them a check on the spot. “ An NFL spokesman said the league has no plans to ask Haslam to relinquish control of the team during the investigation. During his remarks to open the banquet’s program, Haslam praised the Browns’ new coaching staff headed by Rob Chudzinki and raved about the team’s recent picks in the NFL draft. Haslam was at the team’s facility during the draft and was pleased to see how well his new front office of CEO Joe Banner, general manager Michael Lombardi, assistant GM Ray Farmer and Chudzinski interacted. “I know there have been some comments that maybe it’s not great teamwork but I’ve never seen four people work together in a positive manner better than those guys did,” he said. “It was great to see it. And it wasn’t all agreement. There was a lot of disagreement, a lot of conversation going back and forth.” Haslam told the audience he was excited about the upcoming season, and vowed to turn the Browns into contenders. “I want to win because we’re competitive and anybody that’s competitive wants to win, but having been in this area, I want to win more for you all, the fans of Cleveland, because I’ve never seen fan support like this in the Cleveland area,” he said. “It’s incredible. I pledge to you we’re going to do everything we possibly can to bring a winner to Cleveland and Northeast Ohio because this area deserves it.” Later, Haslam wouldn’t make any predictions for 2013, but expects the Browns to make significant progress. “I think we’ll have a better football team this year,” he said. “We’re going to do this the right way. It’s not going to happen overnight. You don’t go from winning 14 games in three years to winning 14 games in one year. But we will have a better team this year and we’ll be better in 2014.” Haslam plans to return to Cleveland later this week, when the team will hold a minicamp for rookies and undrafted free agents. Before leaving the dais, Haslam offered some advice to some of the young football players being honored. “Most of the lessons that I’ve learned in life, candidly, came through athletics and I think particularly football,” he said. “The great thing about football is it’s the ultimate team sport. No matter what position you play, if you don’t do your job, you’re going to let the team down. Candidly, that’s the way life is, that’s what business that we play in, and you’ve got to count on everybody on your team.” Continued from previous page Lawn Service Lawn Care Service, Mowing, Trimming, Free estimates.

Your sign’s stubbornness will be used well, as you will not give up once a decision is made. If you are single, your appeal soars; however, you might not be up for the dating game. Fortunately, you have the option to decide. If you are attached, remember that your significant other is half of the bond. Do not be too me-oriented. A fellow TAURUS lets you know that he or she does not see eye to eye with you. 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 You might want to keep a closer eye on your finances. An opportunity could appear that allows unusual growth. Avoid quick actions and decisions right now. You need to give this decision time. Reach out to someone for his or her feedback. Tonight: Indulge a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Lunar eclipses generally bring surprises — if not now, then in the following months. Today’s eclipse brings you the chance to have a new beginning. You’ll zero in on issues, but you might not want to act for several days in order to let the intensity level out. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HH You might wonder what is going on. Your natural response is to observe, take in information and see what opens up. Give yourself time to sort through the details of a project. Venus moving into your sign allows you to use the principle of attraction. Tonight: Happily head home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your circle of friends could go from being active to being very quiet, which will leave you wondering what is next. Re-evaluate certain life goals. You might be aiming for a desire that is no longer valid, and you’ll want to revise your wish list. Tonight: Go for what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Tension builds. The idea of throwing in the towel could go through your mind. Avoid making any definite decisions right now. A friend will support you in what you want, even if it’s not necessarily what is best; that knowledge might not be available. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone you really care about. Understanding evolves to a new level, which allows greater give-and-take. Recognize that if you back off and look at the big picture, you will see another option. More information also will come forward. Tonight: Opt for a distraction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Discuss a change with a key partner or an adviser. Your finances go up and down as they rarely have before. You see life in a new light as a result. Look at the long term, and make it a point to have a long-overdue discussion with a loved one. Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Let someone have his or her way. You might not be sure of the validity of this person’s ideas, but in time you will know. This person has a lot of character and a strong personality. You’ll want to honor his or her requests. Tonight: Initiate nothing. See what comes forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are more limited now than you might realize. Understand that it might be best to put off taking any action, unless is to make a personal resolution such as starting a diet or cleaning out your desk more often. Tonight: Work out or sit in a hot tub. Let your stress dwindle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Tap into your creativity if you see problems arise. You might not want to take action just yet; however, there is no reason you can’t brainstorm in the meantime. A new friend could seem resistant to you at first, but that will change in time. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Stay anchored. You might see a chance for a new beginning where your domestic life is concerned. If you don’t see it yet, know that you will in the near future. A change involving a friend or a family member appears to be in the offing. Embrace it. Tonight: Do your thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Reach out to several people whom you have put off calling. Expect a strong reaction. You’ll feel much more passionate about a problematic issue than you have in a while. Test out your ideas on a friend who is willing to play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Join a pal for dinner.
