We need to tell their stories because they can no longer tell them,” said the speaker. Fisher gave his family’s history of serving in the military including relatives who fought in the Civil War, in World War 1 and World War II. All came home, he said, but many didn’t, mentioning five from the area who made the supreme sacrifice during World War II — Edgar Bradford, George Hayman, Charles Miller, Owen Stobart and William Swauger.

OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — Barbara rose to hurricane strength Wednesday as it steamed toward a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, where it was expected to quickly make landfall. Barbara’s wind speeds hit 75 mph (120 kph), as its center swirled just about 20 miles (32 kilometers) off the coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It was moving north-northeast toward land at about 10 mph (17 kph), toward a sparsely populated stretch of coast. Officials in the southern state of Oaxaca rushed to prepare emergency shelters and suspended classes for school children in coastal communities as rain began to lash the coast. The stretch of coast west of the railway town of Arriaga where Barbara would make landfall is a largely undeveloped stretch of coastal lagoons, punctuated by small fishing villages. The major oil port of Coatzacoalcos is located on the other side of the narrow waist of Mexico known as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. But the center said the storm should weaken rap- idly once it hits land, well before reaching Coatzacoalcos. Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the Pacific coast from Puerto Angel to Barra de Tonala. Oaxaca state Civil Defense Director Manuel Maza Sanchez said ports had been closed to navigation in tourist resorts of Puerto Angel, Puerto Escondido and Huatulco, all located more than 120 miles (200 kilometers) to the west. Rain had begun to fall along the coast Wednesday, flooding some homes, he said. Maza Sanchez said classes would be cancelled at schools along the coast for the rest of the week, and that storm shelters were being set up in 20 towns and hamlets. Such shelters are frequently installed at local schools. Barbara is expected to quickly lose strength once it hits land. Mexico’s National Meteorological Service said that, while the remnants may enter the Gulf of Mexico on the other side of the isthmus, “it will be so weakened that it is unlikely to regain strength.” �Thursday, May 30, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Like your health care policy? You may be losing it WASHINGTON (AP) — Many people who buy their own health insurance could get surprises in the mail this fall: cancellation notices because their current policies aren’t up to the basic standards of President Barack Obama’s health care law. They, and some small businesses, will have to find replacement plans — and that has some state insurance officials worried about consumer confusion. Rollout of the Affordable Care Act is going full speed ahead, despite repeal efforts by congressional Republicans. New insurance markets called exchanges are to open in every state this fall. Middle-class consumers who don’t get coverage on the job will be able to pick private health plans, while low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it. The goal is to cover most of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured, but even Obama says there will be bumps in the road. And discontinued insurance plans could be another bump. Also, it doesn’t seem to square with one of the president’s best known promises about his health care overhaul: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.” But supporters of the overhaul are betting that consumers won’t object once they realize the coverage they will get under the new law is superior to current bare-bones insurance. For example, insurers will no longer be able to turn people down because of medical problems. Megan Dyer, left, and Emma Perrin Victoria Goble Other bumps on the road to the new health care law include potentially unaffordable premiums for smokers unless states act to waive them, a new $63-per-head fee that will hit companies already providing coverage to employees and dependents, and a long-term care insurance program that had to be canceled because of the risk it could go belly up The Obama administration did not respond directly to questions about the potential fallout from cancellation notices. Instead, Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters released a prepared statement saying: “Beginning in October, individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for insurance in the marketplace, where we are already seeing that increased competition and transparency are leading to a range of options for quality, affordable plans.” For the most part, state insurance commissioners are giving insurers the option of canceling existing plans or changing them to comply with new federal requirements. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected. Seen as consumer safeguards by the administration, the new requirements limit costs paid by policyholders, and also expand benefits. That includes better preventive care, and also improved prescription coverage in many cases. The most important feature may be protection for your pocketbook if you get really sick: The new plans limit copayments and other outof-pocket costs to $6,400 a year for individuals. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners says it is hearing that many carriers will cancel policies and issue new ones because administratively that is easier than changing existing plans. About 14 million Americans currently purchase their health policies individually, a number expected to more than double eventually because of the new law’s subsidies and one-stop insurance markets. But the transition may not be seamless. “The impending changes … have the potential to cause policyholder confusion,” said a recent memo from Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart to insurers. Though a Republican-led state, Iowa is helping to carry out major portions of the health care law. Nationally a considerable number of people could be affected by cancellations. Information from insurers is still dribbling in to state regulators. In Washington state, the changes will affect more than 400,000 people, said Stephanie Marquis, spokeswoman for insurance commissioner Mike Kreidler. Marquis said she expects the premiums for replacement plans to be similar to current ones, but with better coverage. “Your costs involve more than your premiums,” Marquis explained. “It’s also what you would have to pay out of pocket if you had actually used your health plan.” Others see an encroaching nanny state. Kody Wolfe Selected as WSAZ’s ‘Best of the Class’ POMEROY — Graduates Megan Dyer and Emma Perrin of Meigs High School, Victoria Goble of Eastern, and Kody Wolfe of Southern were selected by WSAZ Channel 3 for a salute as the “Best of the Class 2013.” Their pictures along with those from 32 counties in Ohio and West Virginia will be aired now through June 16 in public service announcements. This marks the 29th anniversary of saluting the students selected “Best of the Class.” They were recently honored with a luncheon at the Huntington Museum of Art. AP Exclusive: Soldier to admit Afghan massacre SEATTLE (AP) — The Army staff sergeant charged with slaughtering 16 villagers during one of the worst atrocities of the Afghanistan war has agreed to plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty, his attorney told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is scheduled to enter guilty pleas to charges of premeditated murder June 5 at Joint Base LewisMcChord south of Seattle, said lawyer John Henry Browne. A sentencing-phase trial set for September will determine whether he is sentenced to life in prison with or life without the possibility of parole. The judge and commanding general must approve a plea deal. Browne previously indicated Bales remembered little from the night of the massacre, but he said the soldier will give a full account of what happened before the judge decides whether to accept the plea. Bales, an Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., slipped away from his remote southern Afghanistan outpost at Camp Belambay early on March 11, 2012, and attacked mud-walled compounds in two slumbering villages nearby. Most of the victims were women and children, and some of the bodies were piled and burned. The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan. It was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes. Bales was serving his fourth tour in a combat zone, and the allegations against him raised questions about the toll multiple deployments were taking on American troops. For that reason, many legal experts believed it that it was unlikely that he would receive the death penalty, as Army prosecutors were seeking. The military justice system hasn’t executed anyone since 1961. Nevertheless, the plea deal could inflame tensions in Afghanistan. In interviews with the AP in Kandahar in April, relatives of the victims became outraged at the notion Bales might escape the death penalty and even vowed revenge. “For this one thing, we would kill 100 American soldiers,” said Mohammed Wazir, who had 11 family members killed that night, including his mother and 2-year-old daughter. “A prison sentence doesn’t mean anything,” said Said Jan, whose wife and three other relatives died. “I know we have no power now. But I will become stronger, and if he does not hang, I will have my revenge.” 60412181 �Opinion The Daily Sentinel Page 4 Thursday, May 30, 2013 General Electric aims to improve fracking Kevin Begos The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — One of America’s corporate giants is investing billions of dollars in the new boom of oil and gas drilling, or fracking. General Electric Co. is opening a new laboratory in Oklahoma, buying up related companies, and placing a big bet that cutting-edge science will improve profits for clients and reduce the environmental and health effects of the boom. “We like the oil and gas base because we see the need for resources for a long time to come,” said Mark Little, a senior vice president. He said GE did “almost nothing” in oil and gas just over a decade ago but has invested more than $15 billion in the past few years. GE doesn’t drill wells or pro- duce oil or gas, but Little said the complexity of the fracking boom plays into the company strengths. Wells are being drilled horizontally at great depths in a variety of formations all around the country, and that means each location may require different techniques. There are also big differences in how surrounding communities view the boom. There’s been little controversy in traditional oil and gas states such as Oklahoma, but nearby landowners in Pennsylvania, Colorado and other states have complained of environmental and health effects. “My own view is there things can be managed,” Little said of concerns about drilling, adding they need to be managed carefully. He drew a parallel to GE’s work with the aircraft industry, since many decades ago flying was considered a risky business, but the industry evolved so that even as the speed, distance and number of flights increased, overall safety improved greatly. Little also pointed out that GE has significant experience in wind energy, solar, and in nuclear power. “I think the world needs all of these kinds of systems,” Little said. One environmentalist welcomed the news. “It’s exciting to see. I think it is a positive response to legitimate public concerns about the environmental impacts” of the fracking boom, said Michael Shellenberger, one of the founders of Oakland’s Breakthrough Institute. He added that other companies are working to reduce and clean up wastewater, use more benign fracking methods, and reduce air pollution related to drilling. “It’s the kind of continuous improvement of technologies that’s needed,” Shellenberger said. Little said the GE strategy ultimately comes down to looking at “minds and machines together.” For example, they have devices that can literally be put down into a well to give people on the surface information about exactly what’s happening a mile or two below ground. “We’ll get more information than ever before,” he said, and that can be used to help improve production and profits, and to monitor and reduce environmental impacts. One scientist said that the approach makes sense, and that there are past examples of success. Modern cars are “incomparably cleaner” than older ones, said Neil Donahue, a professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “There are some real technical issues that these folks at GE might be able to make real progress on.” But Donahue added that GE’s research is separate from — and can’t address — the issue of how society should regulate fracking. He said it’s likely that over time, GE will be able to look back and “say we’ve made it safer.” “It’s up to a different level of discussion, how do we deal with this as a society,” he said of the benefits and risks that come with fracking. “It’s less obvious that GE research will reduce” the many other contentious issues around fracking, such as whether it should be allowed at all in some communities. Mickey returns to Fantasyland WVPC offers safe camping tips Derrik J. Lang AP Entertainment Writer ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mickey Mouse is center stage again in Fantasyland. The world’s most famous mouse has reclaimed Disneyland’s Fantasyland Theatre for himself after a six-year occupation by the Disney princesses. In recent years, the theme park venue was used as a meeting place for Disney royalty instead of an actual theater. It’s now home to a new song-and-dance extravaganza called “Mickey and the Magical Map.” “It was time,” said director Tracy Halas, who performed two decades ago as a dancer in various productions on the outdoor stage. “With the expansion of Disney’s California Adventure over the past few years, we were really focused on more atmospheric and interactive shows. We sort of work in cycles, and it was the right time again for this kind of show.” The production stars a mischievous Mickey — less corporate icon, more “Fantasia” rookie — who’s teleported across a huge magical map after attempting to paint a blank spot on the sketch, which is digitally displayed on a new 240-square-foot (22-squaremeter) LED screen that Mickey and a cast of about two dozen singers and dancers interact with during the 22-minute show. Michael Jung, Disney’s vice president of theatrical development, said the biggest challenge in creating “Mickey and the Magical Map” wasn’t building the enormous three-tiered LED screen but balancing the demands of a new production that would appeal to all Disneyland visitors, including new generations who are well-versed in computergenerated wizardry. “We always want to appeal to a classic audience, people who’ve grown up with the films and properties and want to relive them or share them with their families,” said Jung. “At the same time, we want the kids of today to be engaged, present and feel like it’s relevant. I think the creative team really worked hard to find the best of both worlds.” “Magical Map” features several Disney characters in six production numbers. There’s an opening routine set to the original new tune “Journey to Imagination,” composed especially for the show, as well as a mash-up where Pocahontas, Mulan and Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from “Tangled” all join together to belt out ballads from The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Mickey and King Louie from “The Jungle Book” are both portrayed in “Magical Map” by actors in costumes with animatronic heads, which allow their giant cartoony eyes to blink and mouths to move in sync with the show’s soundtrack. The updated articulated “talking” characters have previously been used in Disney theme park and cruise line productions. “Magical Map” is scheduled to run during the summer five times a day. In preparation for the show, the Fantasyland Theatre received an overhaul, including the addition of new audio and lighting systems, stage supports to accommodate the weight of the 71,000-pound (32,273 kilos) LED screen and benches that can seat an audience of up to 1,800. The venue first opened in 1985 as Videopolis, a 5,000-square-foot (465-square-meter) disco with monitors broadcasting music videos and live shots of clubgoers. It was transformed into a full-time theater in 1989, playing host to shows starring characters like Mickey, Dick Tracy, Pocahontas and Snow White until 2006 when the ever-popular princesses moved in for photo ops. CHARLESTON, W.Va. — With the “official” start of summer comes weekends of camping fun for many West Virginians. While camping, many poison hazards can turn a fun-filled weekend into a poison nightmare. The West Virginia Poison Center (WVPC) offers these camping safety tips. Food Paying attention to thorough cooking of meats and proper storage of leftovers is not just essential at home. Check food cooked over a campfire or heated on a camp stove to make sure cooking is complete before eating it. Use enough ice or cold storage packs to make sure the cooler actually stays cold. Discard all food requiring refrigeration if left at room temperature for longer than two hours. Symptoms of food poisoning may include stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drinks While sitting around the campfire, there may be leftover cups, glasses, bottles, or cans which may contain alcoholic beverages. It can be very dangerous if children drink from these containers. Empty alcoholic drinks as soon as possible and do not leave them sitting out where children can get them. Bites Avoid putting hands in spaces that cannot be seen. Snakes can be found in piles of logs or rocks, or under objects that have not been disturbed for awhile. Black widow spiders hide in dark, wet areas. Never touch, disturb, or provoke snakes or spiders. Check for ticks every day and remove any that are seen by grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible and pulling it out in a continuous motion. Do not burn them or apply chemicals to them. 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.

All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Bug Spray When applying bug spray, be sure to read and follow the directions. When used as directed, these products are unlikely to cause harm. Keep bug sprays away from children and only allow adults to apply the product. To avoid potential irritation, do not apply bug sprays on the face. After applying, wash hands. Plants Keep a watch out for poisonous plants, mushrooms, or berries. Teach children to never put a part of a plant, mushroom, or berry into their mouth. Remember, just because a bird or animal eats the plant, mushroom, or berry does not make it safe for children or adults. Carbon Monoxide Never use generators, fuel-powered stoves, or lanterns inside your tent or camper. These products can produce hazardous, deadly fumes called carbon monoxide. Also, check gas and fuel canisters for leaks and turn them off when not in use. If You Suspect A Poisoning If you suspect a poisoning has occurred, do not wait for symptoms to appear.

Wife: I’m sorry for trusting abortion doctor PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The wife of a Philadelphia abortion doctor, a cosmetologist who admitted helping him perform very late-term abortions at his corrupt, grimy clinic, said Wednesday that she was sorry for trusting her husband and was sentenced seven to 23 months in prison. Pearl Gosnell had pleaded guilty to racketeering and performing an illegal abortion past Pennsylvania’s 24week limit. She said her husband, Kermit, told her the abortions were all performed within the legal limit and she believed him. He was convicted this month of firstdegree murder in the deaths of three infants born alive. “I am the wife of Kermit Gosnell, I am not happy about that now and I haven’t been for a long time,” Pearl Gosnell, 51, told Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner at her sentencing hearing. She said her husband took the “cowardly” path for not speaking at his trial or apologizing for his crimes. The judge gave her time credit for nearly three months she spent in jail after her arrest. Changes From Page 1 third grade, and preparation for success. While grades in most categories of evaluation will begin in August, an overall grade for each category and the school and district will not be issued until August, 2015. This, according to Barnett’s report from the Ohio Department of Education, will give the schools time to adjust to the new system and focus their efforts on being successful in all areas being measured. As for educator evaluations, it was reported that Ohio is implementing new learning standards and tests geared to raise academic achievement levels for all its students. Teachers will be evaluated on multiple components including classroom performance and student growth. It was noted that all of Ohio’s school districts participating in the Race to the Top standards will be subject to evaluation this year. During the meeting the Board adopted the new Board of Education policy called “Evaluation of Teachers” as well as a revised policy on evaluation of principals and other administrators, as required by law before June 30. Also approved during the meeting was a 24 month contract for the period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2015 with Jefferson County Educational Service Center for participation in the Jefferson County ESC Virtual Learning Academy, an internetbased educational delivery system as recommended by Steve Ohlinger, Meigs High School principal. Virtual learning is on-line course work for credit recovery or for advanced place- ment courses. It is an option offered to students which allows them to remain in the Meigs Local School System while doing advanced course work on the internet. The Board agreed to participate in the Meigs County Job and Family Services’ Summer Youth Employment Program. The pay rate for youth is $8 an hour to the district which will be reimbursed by TANF monies by Job and Family Services. It will also include a part-time summer supervisor which will be Aaron Oliphant, who will be paid at a rate of $10 an hour. A contractual agreement with the University of Rio Grande-Holzer School of Nursing for nursing clinical experiences was approved for the coming school year, and a $1,000 grant from the Consortium for Health Education was acknowledged. Personnel matters handled included accepting the resignation for retirement purposes of Linda S. Parker, the resignations of Jeremy Hill as a teacher at Meigs Intermediate, and Mindy Chancey as 21st Century Program Coordinator at Meigs High School, and the hiring of Margaret Barr as K-2 librarian for the coming school year. An executive session followed the meeting for the purpose of discussing the hiring and compensation of personnel. Board members attending were Larry Tucker, Ron Logan, and Roger Abbott, along with Superintendent Rusty Bookman, and Mark E. Rhonemus, treasurer/CFO.

Bill requires reporting of mental health info COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Courts in Ohio would have to report certain mental health information to police and other local law enforcement agencies under a bill sent to the governor Wednesday. The measure approved 92-0 by the state House would require courts to tell police or county sheriffs’ departments when they order mental health treatment for a person convicted of a violent offense. Courts must also report when they order conditional release of a person committed after being found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. Authorities would then add the information into a database, so officers could be alerted about a person’s background when responding to a call. The Senate previously passed the legislation in March. A spokesman for the governor said he would likely sign the bill. The bill is named after a sheriff’s deputy who was fatally shot more than two years ago. The man who killed Clark County Sheriff’s Deputy Suzanne Hopper before being shot by police at a trailer park had been accused of shooting at officers in 2001. Michael Ferryman had been found not guilty by reason of insanity and lived in a mental institution before receiving a conditional release, but officers responding to his home didn’t know that. Both Ferryman and Hopper died in the New Year’s Day shootout at the trailer park near Springfield. Another officer was wounded. Supporters say the Ohio bill will help authorities know more about mentally ill people with a criminal history in their communities. Mike Weinman, director of government affairs for the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, said having the mental health information would help officers craft their response to a situation. For instance, Weinman said some authorities are trained in crisis intervention and could be among the first sent to a scene. “It’s a little tougher when you walk up to somebody cold and they’re acting out,” Weinman said. “You wouldn’t necessarily know. But if you have the advanced warning through dispatch and you run his name through a database, that stuff will pop up.” State Rep. Ross McGregor, a Springfield Republican, acknowledged lawmakers could only do so much to protect those in an inherently dangerous profession. Still, he said, “The more knowledge that we can give the men and women who put on the uniform when they’re responding to these situations, hopefully, the more prepared they will be to react to any situation that may arise.” Senate removes state income tax cut from budget COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State senators on Tuesday pulled what’s left of Republican Gov. John Kasich’s proposed income tax cut from the state budget in favor of tax relief targeted at small businesses. The move by the GOP-led Ohio Senate Finance Committee came as a political blow to Kasich, who pledged to reduce the statewide income tax if elected. The Ohio House had retained 7 percent of the 20 percent permanent income tax cut originally proposed by Kasich. It was among dozens of changes the Senate is making to the House budget bill. Senate President Keith Faber, a Celina Republican, said income tax relief will continue to be debated as budget deliberations progress. Rather than embrace the broader income tax cut, the Senate chose to restore a small business benefit also proposed by Kasich. That proposal would allow individuals to deduct up to $375,000 in net annual business income for income tax purposes. The Senate tax break is worth roughly $1.4 billion, compared with the roughly $1.5 billion price tag for the House’s income tax plan. Asked why the Senate’s tax cut was better than the House’s plan, Faber said, “Because it’s about creating jobs and growing the state’s economy.” Faber said the state already recently had a 4.2 percent, across-the-board income tax cut, and senators wanted to help the small businesses that were adding to the job market. With rosy state revenue adjustments expected next month, the stage has been set for a potential tax compromise incorporating elements of both plans when the two chambers come together in late June to reconcile their budget differences. As anticipated, Senate budget changes did not include expansion of Medicaid under the federal health insurance overhaul. Senators also left out a tax increase on highvolume oil and gas drillers proposed by Kasich and expansion of the state sales tax to include professional services like lawyers. The bill keeps a provision effectively defunding Planned Parenthood by putting it at the back of the line for public funds. Faber said the idea of changing Medic- aid is not dead but will be taken up in a separate bill. A placeholder measure could come in the next two weeks. Republicans senators are split over whether to extend Medicaid coverage. “I have yet to see a proposal that I can tell you there’s a majority of my caucus that supports,” Faber told reporters. Roughly 366,000 low-income residents would be eligible for Medicaid coverage beginning in 2014, should the state decide to expand the program under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Ohio would get $13 billion from the federal government to cover program costs over the next seven years, according to the Kasich administration. Senators held off making any immediate changes to school funding, though the Senate president said the chamber would have its own version of the formula in the next week. “We’re looking at some significant increases in funding for K-12 over the current system,” Faber said. “But where that ends up is still in a matter of flux. Stay tuned.” Facing political pressure from both parties, senators removed a budget provision that would have forced universities to offer in-state tuition to out-of-state students who request the documents necessary to vote in the state, which had been criticized for its potential to suppress votes. Universities often provide documents, such as utility bills, to serve as students’ proof of residency when they register to vote in the presidential swing state. The provision had required universities that continue to provide such documentation to charge those students lower in-state tuition. The Inter-University Council of Ohio, which represents the state’s 14 public universities, estimated that more than 29,000 students would fit that description. And the measure could have cost universities up to $370 million. Executive Director Bruce Johnson praised the Senate for removing the item. “It’s gone and we’re happy about it,” he said. Faber said members on both sides of the aisle requested the student voting measure be pulled from the budget. Though, he added, he thought the issue merited further discussion. �The Daily Sentinel THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Nicklaus comments on Woods dispute Clem Murray | Philadelphia Inquirer | MCT photo Duke attackman Jordan Wolf (31) celebrates his 3rd goal of the NCAA Division I championship game against Syracuse with teammates Josh Dionne (8) and Case Matthews (9) in Philadelphia, Pa., May 27. Duke beat Syracuse, 16-10, to win the title. Duke celebrates 2nd lacrosse title DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke celebrated its latest national championship in lacrosse like it had already won one before. Which makes sense, because some of the Blue Devils already had. So after Duke beat Syracuse to win its second NCAA title in four years, coach John Danowski had his players remove their championship caps and T-shirts, tone down the party and shake the Orange players’ hands with grace and humility. Danowski said Tuesday that “it just never made sense to me to put on a T-shirt that said, ‘We beat you’” because “it doesn’t seem to be sportsmanlike.” These Blue Devils let their results on the field speak for themselves. Duke is the only program in Division I to reach each of the last seven Final Fours. The Blue Devils have made it that far every year since Danowski took over the program in the summer of 2006, and the high point in that run came in 2010 when they won their first national title. And during the past four years, the freshmen on that team developed into the seniors who delivered a second championship — a 16-10 victory over the Orange after they fell behind 5-0 and appeared headed for their second title-game loss under Danowski. The win made Danowski the fifth active coach in Division I with multiple national titles. “I think it proves to everybody that what we do here is right,” junior attacker Josh Dionne said. “What coach Danowski preaches to us, the discipline, he makes us mature very quickly. The greatness that he demands of us, that’s a bar set so high.” Few expected a second title early in the season, when the Blue Devils lost four of their first six games — including a 16-7 loss to Maryland that came a day after Danowski threw the team off the practice field because the players were lacking energy and sharpness. “That was the last time that looked like that the day before a game,” Danowski said. “One of the lessons that this team had to learn.” By season’s end, Duke hardly resembled the team that stumbled out of the gate. The Blue Devils won 14 of their final 15 games, with the only loss coming to rival North Carolina in the ACC championship game. Duke won its first three NCAA tournament games by a combined four goals, then came up with a timely rally to beat the Orange on Monday and claim another championship trophy. This one came with a more mellow celebration, after Danowski’s request to his team was unknowingly captured by television cameras. “It just shows everyone who’s watching what kind of person coach Danowski is,” Dionne said. “It just shows that he is a winner. He knows the values and he’s been there and lost so many times that he knows how the other coach feels.” It also marked the latest step forward from the infamous, since-debunked rape case that was brought in 2006 against three players and led to Danowski being hired that summer to replace former coach Mike Pressler. “I can’t help but think we’ve come full circle here in some ways,” Danowski said. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be sitting here. You don’t think in terms of wins and losses and championships and sitting here next to the trophy.” DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Jack Nicklaus only has to look at some of the clashes on the PGA Tour in recent months to see how far golf has come since he was in his prime. That’s not necessarily a good thing. “We were trying to figure out how to get somebody to write about anything when we played,” Nicklaus said Wednesday on the eve of the Memorial. “I think today you have to figure out how you keep somebody from writing about anything. It’s a big difference.” Vijay Singh is suing the PGA Tour over its anti-doping policy. A small group of players has retained a lawyer over the new rule involving long putters. And the dispute getting all the attention is Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, who didn’t hide their dislike for each other until it reached a point last week that Garcia made a comment with racial overtures about Woods. “The Sergio-Tiger thing, I mean, it’s stupid,” Nicklaus said. “Do guys have an issue one with another? They usually resolve it themselves. You guys want to resolve it in the newspapers today. Nobody needs that. And I think they both finally said, ‘It’s enough. Forget it, guys. Let’s move on.’ In our days, I suppose there were times when you had an issue with somebody and it came about. You never read about it.” The Woods-Garcia spat turned ugly last week when Garcia was jokingly asked at a European Tour dinner outside London if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. Trying to go along with the sarcasm, the Spaniard said he would serve fried chicken. Garcia apologized that night in a statement and the next day in a news conference, though he said he had been unable to reach Woods over the phone. Woods was asked Wednesday if he considered getting in touch with Garcia to hear the apology so he wouldn’t have to deal with it during a busy, important week at the U.S. Open. What followed were his first public comments, though they were sparse. “Was I supposed to go to Wentworth?” Woods said jokingly. Asked if he would allow Garcia to reach him on the phone to be done with the matter before getting to Merion, Woods said, “That’s already done with.” Did that mean Garcia apologized to him? “Not in person, no,” he said. When asked if Woods considered Garcia’s news conference an apology, Woods said, “Move on.” On one matter there is no dispute — Woods is playing some pretty good golf. When all the discord was mentioned, followed by the question of whether it was healthy for golf, Woods replied, “Well, I’ve won four times.” No one else has more than one win this year, which explains why Woods has opened another large lead at No. 1 in the world ranking, and why he is the favorite going into the next major championship. The first stop is Muirfield Village, were Woods is a five-time winner. A year ago, Woods completed a Sunday rally with a chip from behind the 16th green that even Nicklaus, the tournament host, called one of the best shots he ever saw under the circumstances. The flop shot behind the green had to be executed to perfection — anything too soft would turn away to the left down a ridge and leave some 30 feet for par, while anything too firm might run beyond the hole and off the green into the water. Woods holed it for a birdie. The Memorial has the top six players in the world ranking and the strongest field in golf among regular tour events. Rory McIlroy, Scott, Justin Rose, Lee Westwood and Brandt Snedeker are all playing. Given his history — and this golf course — it only seems as though it’s Woods against everyone else. What is it about the course Jack built and the guy who seems to own it? “Most golf courses set up well for Tiger Woods,” McIlroy said. “He’s won The Players this year, and that was a golf course that everyone said didn’t quite suit him. … The guy is good wherever he goes and plays. It’s not like he goes to the same course and wins. He can win anywhere.” Still to be determined is whether he can win at Merion. Woods made a detour to the course outside Philadelphia for his first look at Merion, which last hosted the U.S. Open in 1981. Scott spent two days at Merion early last week, while McIlroy is on his way to the U.S. Open venue after Merion. Nicklaus, who played Merion twice for a U.S. Open and lost in a playoff in 1971 to Lee Trevino, said he would be surprised if a player only hit driver once or twice and won. While the middle portion of the course is short even by yesteryear’s standards, the opening and closing stretches are long and tough. Woods played in cool temperatures, rain and a strong wind. It was plenty long when he played, though he doesn’t think it will be that way in two weeks. What got his attention were some of the winners, notably Trevino and Ben Hogan. “If you look at the list of champions, they have all been really good shotmakers,” Woods said. “They have all been able to shape the golf ball. … They are very disciplined players. You play to certain spots. You play to certain spots on the greens. You leave yourself certain putts and you deal with it and you move on.” This is the first time Woods has won four PGA Tour events before the Memorial, though he won four times (in consecutive tournaments) worldwide in 2008 as his left knee was caving in. All that’s missing is a major — Woods has been stuck on 14 majors since winning the 2008 U.S. Open — but it doesn’t hurt to keep piling up wins. “I’ve been saying it a lot the last two or three years. What’s the matter with Tiger? Nothing is the matter,” Davis Love III said.

(AP) — University trustees have signed off on a $200,000 annual raise and contract extension for Illinois basketball coach John Groce. Groce’s salary will increase to $1.2 million a year. His contract now runs through April 2018. In Groce’s first season, Illinois finished 23-13 and defeated Colorado in the NCAA tournament before falling to Miami. Illinois on Wednesday also said Western Michigan forward Darius Paul and Oregon State guard Ahmad Starks had officially transferred to join the Illini. Paul is the younger brother of former Illini star Brandon Paul. The 6-8, 220-pound forward was the Mid-American Conference freshman of the year last season after averaging 10.4 points and 5.7 rebounds a game. The Gurnee native will have to sit out a season under NCAA rules. Starks is a 5-9, 170-pound Chicago native with a year of eligibility. He averaged 12.1 points a game last season for the Beavers. Starks has said he plans to apply for an NCAA waiver because of an ailing grandmother in Chicago. That could let him play next season. Groce said sophomore forward Myke Henry has left Illinois. Playoff architects won’t be allowed to pick teams DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — The conference commis- sioners who put together the College Football Playoff will not be allowed to serve on the committee that selects the teams that will play in it. Executive director Bill Hancock says the commissioners are still working on the structure of the selection committee for the new postseason system that starts in 2014. But they have eliminated themselves from consideration. Hancock says that they are not eliminating the possibility that active athletic directors could serve on the committee, but the focus has been on using former administrators, coaches, and even media members to make up the panel. Hancock says the commissioners would like the committee to have geographic balance. “Conferences have been invited to submit names,” he told reporters covering the Southeastern Conference spring meetings. “Probably about 20.” From there, 12-20 will be selected to be on the committee. The commissioners would like to have the panel in place by before the end of the upcoming season, and possibly have them go through a dry run. “There’s no timeframe,” he said. “We’re not in a hurry. There’s no rush. I think probably by this bowl season we’ll no. Maybe before then. But we’re not in any hurry.” Hancock said the tentative plan will be for the committee to meet before the 2014 season, then about four times during the season, starting in October. Player from small Kansas school announces he’s gay Jallen (JAY-lin) Messersmith of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., has come out and is believed to be the first openly gay player in U.S. men’s college basketball. Messersmith told The Associated Press on Wednesday he revealed his sexual orientation to teammates at the NAIA school before last season and approached Outsports.com about telling his story. Outsports.com is a website that covers gay issues in sports. Messersmith said he’s received nothing but positive feedback since the story was posted on Tuesday. He said he wanted to come out with the hope it helps other athletes feel comfortable about who they are. He said he decided to come out long before Jason Collins became the first active NBA player to announce he’s gay. Love joins Haas as Presidents Cup aides to Couples DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Davis Love III has been added as an assistant to U.S. Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples for this fall’s team competition at Muirfield Village Golf Club. The announcement was made Wednesday on the eve of the Memorial Tournament, also at Muirfield Village, where Love and Couples are both playing this week. Jay Haas is also assisting Couples with the American team. Love holds a 16-8-5 record in Presidents Cup play, including a 5-2-1 mark when teamed with Couples. The Presidents Cup will be played Oct. 3-6. Now things could get more interesting for Federer PARIS (AP) — Now things could get a little more interesting for Roger Federer. After a pair of straightforward and straight-set victories at the French Open against qualifiers ranked outside the top 150, the 17-time major champion will face a seeded player, France’s Julien Benneteau, who not only already beat Federer once this year but also came within two points of upsetting him at Wimbledon, of all places, in 2012. “I think I’m playing OK,” Federer said in something of an understatement, considering he’s dropped 11 games through six sets so far. “Definitely think the next match is going to be sort of the big test for me, to see exactly where I stand.” There wasn’t much trouble for Federer in the second round Wednesday, when he beat twotime NCAA singles champion Somdev Devvarman 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 in less than 1½ hours. It really was something of a laugher, especially with Federer serving at 4-0 in the final set. He hit a first serve well out, and both players waited for the linesman to make a call — which he finally did, albeit after a long delay. Federer and Devvarman chuckled, looked at each other, and chuckled some more. As Federer prepared to hit his second serve, he needed to pause because he couldn’t regain his composure. Otherwise, little bothered Federer. “You obviously know he’s capable of doing certain things, and you try and make life as tough for him as possible,” said Devvarman, who played college ten- RESORT PROPERTY AGRICULTURE ANIMALS AUTOMOTIVE Animal Supplies FREE: Kittens, to good home. 304-675-6781 Pets FREE KITTENS: Rescued-to good homes only. 740-949-3408 between 5-8pm.

And sometimes even when I did, I feel like he came up with the better shot.” Federer accumulated a 54-12 edge in winners, in part by moving forward to the net on 30 points. “I’m happy that I was playing offensive and aggressive tennis in the first two matches, because I had the opportunity, but I didn’t back off and start to play passive tennis and wait for mistakes. So I took it to my opponent,” said Federer, the 2009 French Open champion. “But really, I think I’ll only know more after the Benneteau match, to be quite honest.” Then again, Benneteau might not quite be the same guy who took the first two sets against Federer before losing in five on the grass of the All England Club nearly a year ago. Or the one Williams extended her careerhigh winning streak to 26 matches by defeating French wild-card entry Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-2 Wednesday. A year after the only first-round Grand Slam exit of her career came in Paris, the American has lost four games in two matches. Other women’s winners included two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka and 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova — who both finally got to play their rainpostponed first-round matches — along with 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic and 2012 runner-up Sara Errani, who reached the third round. Former No. 1 and 2009 U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki, whose boyfriend is golf star Rory McIlroy, lost 7-6 (2), 6-3 to Serbia’s Bojana Jovanovski.

The 30th-seeded Benneteau dealt with pain in his thigh Wednesday during a topsy-turvy 7-6 (9), 7-5, 5-7, 0-6, 6-4 win against Tobias Kamke of Germany. Ahead by two sets and at 5-all in the third, Benneteau dropped 10 games in a row before righting himself. Even putting that aside, Benneteau explained, “Obviously it’s all pretty tricky, (playing) Federer. He breezed through the first two rounds. He plays very well. … You know you’re going to have to really ramp up a gear.” Same must be said when facing another past French Open champion, Serena Williams, who has been challenged about as much as Federer has.

Many people want to be around your highly magnetic energy; however, you will note how people back away from you when you get angry. If you are single, your biggest problem will be trying to stay single, if that is what you want. If you are attached, work on expressing your anger before you lose control. Developing a new pattern initially might feel difficult, but it will be worthwhile. PISCES knows how to impress 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 Try to assume a more laid-back attitude. Consolidate recent successes. Your listening skills will emerge while you’re in a discussion with a sibling or neighbor. You need to know what you are hearing in order to evaluate what is going on. Tonight: Take some much-needed downtime. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Meetings and networking point to success. You will instill your support systems with new energy and knowledge. You understand your desires, and you know where you are heading. Others can follow you if they want. Tonight: Make weekend plans if you have not already. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You could feel overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. If you assume responsibility, you will like the outcome. Only you can control certain demons or issues. Tonight: Be available for a late-night discussion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your ability to deal with the many people around you will make a substantial difference. Allow greater give-and-take between you and someone else. You laugh, and others relax. You naturally lead with your heightened sense of direction. Tonight: It’s a piece of cake. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll wonder what might be the best way to proceed, as a partner seems more open to possibilities. You could be amazed by what occurs. Remain laid-back, and be willing to change direction. Allow this person to be more dominant. Tonight: Enjoy the conversation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Listen to feedback. How you handle a situation depends on your ability to flex with others. At the moment, you need to incorporate more of what others desire when making plans. You will have your way soon enough — don’t worry. Tonight: Listen to suggestions, then decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be in a situation where you want to say exactly what you think, and want to be encouraged to do so as well. Know that you might get a very strong — maybe even negative — reaction if you reveal your true thoughts. Tonight: Run errands. Free up the weekend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your ability to make headway and say what you feel when you want adds tremendous dimension to a relationship. Your imagination flourishes in this situation. Focus on a child or a new love interest. This person needs your time and attention. Tonight: Ever playful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be out of energy when it comes to dealing with a difficult family member. You understand this person much more than you might want to. Maintain your boundaries without causing uproar or a fight. Tonight: Head home. Start thinking about the weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Make calls and seek out different opinions before scheduling a meeting. You’ll want to have a sense of direction about where this group is heading. You are a natural leader, and you don’t need to press a point. Others tend to defer to you. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You suddenly could be weighing the pros and cons of a particular situation. You might want to say that you have had enough, so be prepared to act on this verbalization. Check out a purchase with care. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are very much in the moment. You might not even bother to investigate some important information you heard through the grapevine. Try to be more alert, especially if a boss or some other authority figure heads your way. Tonight: Finally, it’s time for your whims!
