Chad R. Rennicker, 25, of Ripley, W.Va., appeared alongside public defender David Baer for the hearing. A trial date had been set for Aug. 15 in the case, but was continued following a motion by the defense. Rennicker is now scheduled for a trial date of Sept. 25, with a pre-trial hearing at 10:45 a.m. on Aug. 19. Rennicker is currently being held on $1 million bond, with 10 percent allowed. According to the indictment filed in June, Rennicker did or attempted to commit a theft offense while having a deadly weapon on or about his person or under his control and either displayed the weapon, brandished it or indicated the possession of use of it during the offense. The six kidnapping counts are one count for each individual working at the bank at the time of the alleged offense. The indictment alleges that Rennicker did commit the crime of kidnapping at Farmers Bank in Tuppers Plains, by force, threat or deception, knowingly remove another from the place where the person was found or restrain the liberty of the other person, to facilitate the commission of any felony or flight thereafter. Rennicker was also wanted by the Belmont County Ohio Sheriff’s Office and the Perry Township Police Department in Stark County Ohio. In May, Rennicker was sentenced on armed robbery charges in Belmont County and has failed to turn himself into authorities to serve his sentence. He along with Michaela Fritz were arrested on June 1 in Ripley, W.Va. Fritz has not been charged with any crime in Meigs County. The arrest of both suspects at an apartment in Ripley began with the surveillance of a white van that the suspects were driving.

The fans, some from as far away as Florida, arrived early and stayed late so as not to miss any part of what has become one of southeastern Ohio’s biggest musical events. Not only was every parking place in town taken by blues fans, but the dock was filled with boats of people despite the high and murky water of the Ohio. Both days were a bit cloudy, but the temperature was neither too cold nor too hot for the fans. Many had apparently checked the weather because they came with their umbrellas for protection from the occasional sprinkle. While many brought along comfortable chairs, others preferred perching on the parking lot wall while relaxing with a drink of choice to listen to the music, or just stretching out on one of the promenade benches. One guy sitting on the wall described the music as “just the best” and said he comes year after year and always leaves wanting more. For Jackie Welker, president of the Pomeroy Blues and Jazz Society which sponsors the event, it was “a real success.” He said the base of local fans who prefer something different than pure blues, like classic rock, filled the park- Musician Todd Burge, here to hold a Blues School for Kids, entertains ing lot Friday night making it a record at the Bash. crowd. On the other hand Saturday’s music was pure blues and appealed to a different crowd, many of whom came from out of town, and again the crowd was tremendous. The Blues School for Kids was held again this year in the Court Street minipark under the direction of Todd Burge, professional instrumentalist/singer of West Virginia. The children were given a light luncheon which they enjoyed as Burge and his daughter entertained, and then they went into the blues school (a blanket on the ground under a tent) where they were taught funny See BLUES | 5 The Blues Bash attracts hundreds of fans to the Bend area.

It is for youth kindergarten to Pope Francis says he won’t judge gay priests ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRCRAFT (AP) — Pope Francis reached out to gays on Monday, saying he won’t judge priests for their sexual orientation in a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference as he returned from his first foreign trip. “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis asked. “We shouldn’t marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society.” Francis’ predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, signed a document in 2005 that said men who had deeprooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. Francis was much more conciliatory in his first news conference as pope, saying gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten. The comments did not signal any change in church policy. Catholic teaching still holds that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” But they indicated a shift in tone under Francis’ young papacy and an emphasis on a church that is more inclusive and merciful rather than critical and disciplinary. Gay leaders were buoyed by Francis’ non-judgmental approach, saying changing the tone was progress in itself, although for some, the encouragement was tempered by Francis talk of gay clergy’s “sins.” “Basically, I’m overjoyed at the news,” said Francis DeBernardo, executive director of the U.S.based New Ways Ministry, a group promoting justice and reconciliation for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people and the wider church community. “For decades now, we’ve had nothing but negative comments about gay and lesbian people coming from the Vatican,” DeBernardo said in a telephone interview from Maryland. The largest U.S. gay rights group, Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement that the pope’s remarks “reflect a hopeful change in tone.” Still, said Chad Griffin, the HRC president, as long as gay individuals, couples and youth alike “are told in churches big and small that their lives and their families are disordered and sinful because of how they were born — how God made them — then the church is sending a deeply harmful message.” Doc being returned to Pa. in wife’s cyanide death PITTSBURGH (AP) — A University of Pittsburgh medical researcher arrested in West Virginia is being returned to Pennsylvania to face charges in the cyanide poisoning death of his neurologist wife.

Klein died April 20 after suddenly falling ill. Blood tests revealed a lethal level of cyanide. Police allege Ferrante bought cyanide days earlier. Difenderfer says Ferrante was returning to Pennsylvania to surrender when he was arrested. Ferrante and Klein met in Bedford, Mass. eighth grade. Registration is required, but there is no fee.

Kerry names Martin Indyk to shepherd Mideast talks WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday appointed a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, to shepherd Israeli-Palestinian peace talk as senior negotiators from the two sides prepared to sit down together for the first time in years. Urging the parties to reach “reasonable compromises on tough, complicated, emotional and symbolic issues,” Kerry acknowledged that the path ahead would be long and difficult, a sentiment echoed by President Barack Obama. “This is a promising step forward, though hard work and hard choices remain ahead,” Obama said in a statement released by the White House. “I know the negotiations are going to be tough, but I also know that the consequences of not trying could be worse,” Kerry said. But Obama and Kerry both said Indyk had the respect and confidence of all involved and that his vast experience in Middle East diplomacy could only help what will surely be a protracted process. The sides have agreed to negotiate for at least nine months, officials said. “I think reasonable compromises have to be a keystone of all of this effort,” Kerry told reporters as he announced Indyk’s new position at the State Department. The appointment came a day after the department said the Israelis and Palestinians had accepted Kerry’s invitation to resume direct talks on Monday evening. The initial negotiations, which will begin with separate meetings with Kerry and then a dinner, are aimed at developing “a procedural work plan for how the parties can proceed with negotiations in the coming months,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. Indyk, who will be the administration’s special envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, “knows what has worked and he knows what hasn’t worked, and he knows how important it is to get this right,” Kerry said. “Ambassador Indyk is realistic. He understands that Israeli-Palestinian peace will not come easily and it will not happen overnight.” Bridge work challenges boaters at site of NY wreck WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — The barge that was involved in the Hudson River collision that killed a bride-to-be and her fiance’s best man is just a hint of the heavy construction traffic that will challenge boaters during the building of a new bridge in the New York suburbs, experts said Monday. At times during the next few years there could be 90 barges in the river as part of work on the $3.9 billion Tappan Zee Bridge project, said Lt. James Luciano, commander of the Westchester County police marine unit. That would be in addition to the temporary platforms that are being built and the two permanent side-by-side spans. “It’s going to be a mess for a long time,” said Rockland County Sheriff’s Department Chief William Barbera. The wedding party’s speedboat hit a barge Friday night, killing Lindsey Stewart of Piermont and Mark Lennon of Pearl River, both 30, and injuring four, including the groom, two weeks before the wedding. The barge was one of three in the area, all properly moored and lighted, said Coast Guard spokesman Charles Rowe. The barge’s illumination is part of the investigation, Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco said Sunday. But investigators believe, based on witness accounts, that the man pi- loting the speedboat, Jojo John, may have been intoxicated, Falco said. He is charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Stewart, the bride-tobe, whose body was found Sunday. Her funeral was scheduled for Thursday at the church in Pearl River where she would have been married. District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Monday that a grand jury is being assembled and he is seeking upgraded charges, apparently based on Sunday’s recovery of Lennon’s body. He was to be the best man at Stewart’s Aug. 10 wedding to Brian Bond of Piermont. Stewart died from both drowning and severe head injuries and Lennon also drowned but had only minor bodily injuries, the county medical examiner said Monday. Bond and John were still hospitalized Monday. The names of the other two survivors have not been made public on the ground they are witnesses. Falco said authorities on Monday began a reconstruction of the accident. Barbera said that would involve a crime scene unit taking photos and measurements. The sheriff’s office said it was awaiting the results of an alcohol test on John’s blood. He has a previous arrest on a drug possession charge and another on a conspiracy charge, Barbera said. Ariel Castro’s son says life sentence appropriate CLEVELAND (AP) — The son of the Cleveland man who admitted kidnapping, raping and enslaving three women for about a decade said Monday his father belongs in prison for the rest of his life. In an interview on NBC’s “Today” show, Anthony Castro also said he has nothing to say to his father, Ariel Castro, and will not visit him in prison. Fifty-three-year-old Ariel Castro is expected to be sentenced Thursday to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty last week to 937 counts in a deal that spared him the death penalty. “I think it’s the best possible sentence,” Anthony BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT? Over $10,000 in credit card bills? Can’t make the minimum payments? Castro said. “I think if he really can’t control his impulses and he really doesn’t have any value for human life the way this case has shown, then behind bars is where he belongs for the rest of his life.” Anthony Castro, 31, said his father was violent, and Anthony often cried himself to sleep because he had welts on his legs from beatings. Still, he said, he wasn’t prepared to hear the details of what his father did to the women. “I was shocked because of the magnitude of such a crime,” Anthony Castro said. “I don’t think I could ever imagine anyone doing that that, let alone to find out it was my own flesh and blood, my father.” BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT?

But some experts say arrogance, a lack of transparency and poor communication on the part of the drilling industry have helped fuel public anger over the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. “It’s a big issue for the industry. I have called for greater transparency. That is the only way to have an honest conversation with the public,” said John Hofmeister, a former Shell Oil Co. president and author of “Why We Hate Oil Companies.” As an example, Hofmeister said, some industry leaders have suggested that the fracking boom has never caused water pollution. But while the vast majority of wells don’t cause problems, “everybody knows that some wells go bad,” Hofmeister said. Over the last five years, advances in technology have led to a surge of drilling in states such as Pennsylvania, Colorado, Arkansas and North Dakota. Previously inaccessible deposits of shale oil and gas have been unlocked by fracking, a process in which large amounts of water and sand along with chemicals are injected deep underground to break apart the rock. One of the biggest promoters of the Marcellus Shale drilling boom in Pennsylvania says that while fracking opponents have exaggerated some risks, the industry hasn’t always handled key issues well, either. Terry Engelder, a Penn State geologist, cited the highly publicized case in Dimock, Pa., where 18 families began complaining in 2009 that nearby drilling had polluted their water supply with methane gas and toxic chemicals. State environmental regulators ultimately agreed, imposing large fines on Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Co, and temporarily banning the company from drilling in a 9-squaremile area around the town. Cabot paid the fines but denied responsibility for the contamination. Engelder said at least some of the industry’s missteps have been unintentional and come from inexperience. In Dimock, the land had so many layers of rock and the drilling boom was so new that both the industry and regulators struggled to understand and explain the problems with the water wells, Engelder said. Cabot spokesman George Stark said that in retrospect, the company realized that the geology around Dimock was “highly unusual” and that pre-drilling tests for methane would have helped determine which wells had natural contamination of methane. In 2010, Cabot began holding summer picnics in the Dimock area to answer questions about the industry, drilling and local geology, Stark said. More than 8,000 people attended last week’s event, up from about 2,000 the first year, he said. While many issues were at play, Engelder said, experts came to believe that the well construction techniques used in the early years of Pennsylvania’s drilling boom “were just inadequate to the task” of protecting groundwater in that area. Regulations for well cement jobs were later strengthened considerably, but by that time, anger and negative publicity had started building, and the damage was done. Engelder and Hofmeister say that to the industry’s credit, the drilling boom has brought many benefits. Many communities haven’t had major problems and welcome the jobs and the royalty payments that can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

But Engelder said the industry can’t just focus on positives. “There never will be a risk-free gas industry in Pennsylvania, just like there never will be risk-free driving a car,” he said. Engelder said he believes the industry should work more closely with opponents and give them detailed explanations of the geology, the risks and the benefits of drilling. “I would do whatever it took to try and engage these people over a period of time,” he said. But some industry critics are skeptical. “You can’t change the spots on a leopard,” said Jim Switzer, a Dimock resident who says drilling ruined his water. “They would spend a billion dollars to say they weren’t responsible for something rather than spend a couple million dollars of taking care of who they screwed.” Another drilling critic who battled Colorado’s Encana Oil & Gas for 10 years over its work around his property said he was angered not only by noise and pollution but also by industry attitudes. “Those people moved into our valley like a conquering army,” said Thomas Thompson, who complained that the heavy equipment that accompanied drilling in Rifle, Colo., created endless dust storms that caused health problems for him and his wife. Thompson said he’s never said the U.S. shouldn’t develop natural gas resources, just that it should be done responsibly. After years of asking government agencies and the industry to address the problems, Thompson and his wife relocated to Texas and settled a lawsuit over his claims. Despite the anger from some critics, Hofmeister thinks many in the industry are “rather unemotional” about the opposition. “It’s a big world,” Hofmeister said. “The industry will move on to where it will be successful.” AP Television Writer NEW YORK — Honey Boo Boo, the management at PBS wants to thank you. You, too, real housewives. And naked castaways, Long Island princesses, breakaway Amish, storage warriors, pawn stars and pickers. People at public television may not want to watch you, but they are happy to see you. When Discovery, The Learning Channel, History, Bravo, A&E and similar networks emerged, there was a real fear it could lead to the death of PBS. Each specialized network would pick off a portion of PBS’ audience for programs on science, nature, history and the arts. Founded as an alternative to commercial TV, PBS was losing what made it unique. Yet in the past few years, these cable networks discovered that it was much more profitable to create reality TV stars. PBS’ path was cleared, and it is making the most of its new chance. “It is now once again something that the viewer can’t get anywhere else,” said Beth Hoppe, PBS’ programming chief. PBS’ viewership slipped steadily starting in 1993, which hardly made it unusual in a world with an ever-increasing number of choices. Since 2009, that trend has reversed. PBS’ average prime-time audience has ticked back up from 1.9 million four years ago to 2.1 million now, with the growth faster among young people. Certainly the sensation of “Downton Abbey” is a key factor, but the growth isn’t just on Sunday. Hoppe is trying to infuse PBS with new energy, make its projects more timely and get her colleagues to treat it as a television network instead of just a public service. Hoppe worked at PBS stations in New Hampshire, Boston and New York City and remembers well the worries when new cable networks started. “We were concerned that people would consider us irrelevant because we were no longer providing a service, or that we would no longer be perceived as providing a service that people couldn’t get anywhere else,” she said. Maybe PBS’ programs were better, but that might not matter, she said. She left PBS to join the new wave, taking a job at Discovery to produce science programming for its networks. She knew it was time for something else when an executive asked her to go to Los Angeles to “add sex and celebrities” to the “Curiosity” series she was working on. Hoppe talked to old friend Paula Kerger, the president and CEO of the Public Broadcasting Service, to see if there was room for her if she returned. There was, and by last December, she was made responsible for PBS’ programming department. Hoppe cites Animal Planet’s mermaids shows as examples of something PBS would never do. “Mermaids: The Body 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 First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. 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. Found” played like a documentary but was an admitted fake and was a huge success, spawning a sequel. PBS, meanwhile, is a Snookie-free zone. “It’s not that the programming is bad,” Kerger said. “It’s just different, that’s all. They’re in a different business.” Hoppe has tried to make PBS more topical, ordering a lengthy examination of guns in America that ran a month after the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. She pushed PBS producers for programs looking at the Boston Marathon bombing, the meteorite that exploded over Russia in February and Superstorm Sandy. “She comes to her job with a filmmaker’s sensibility,” said John Bredar, vice president of national programming at Boston’s WGBH, the largest supplier of PBS programming. “She understands things from the ground up as a producer, as opposed to someone who just commissions work. She’s someone who has a visceral understanding of what the market is like.” In October, PBS’ “Frontline” is collaborating with ESPN for “Concussion Watch,” an investigation into health issues caused by violent collisions in the National Football League. PBS will aggressively mine anniversaries as programming hooks. This fall brings an “American Masters” special on Billie Jean King 40 years after her “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match with Bobby Riggs and a show on “War of the Worlds” 75 years after the radio program incited panic. As with other networks, the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination will be given attention. PBS’ programming will include a four-hour portrait of Kennedy, a “cold case” look at evidence in the shooting and a minute-byminute recap of the killing from the firing of shots to when CBS’ Walter Cronkite reported Kennedy’s death. That’s what Hoppe means when she talks about thinking like a network instead of just a service, anticipating the interests of viewers. There’s a difference between waiting to see what work producers will offer you and actively going out with some of your own ideas. PBS is also trying to bring more consistency to a schedule that encompasses several genres. Programmers call it “flow,” and in this case it means concentrating science programming on Wednesday, arts on Friday, with more history and newsoriented shows on Monday and Tuesday. The system’s crown jewel, “Downton Abbey,” returns for its fourth season on Jan. 5. You’d have to look back two decades to Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” to find a series as important to PBS. “If we could look back in 10 years and say that was a real turning point for PBS in terms of its perception in popular culture and being cool and hip — the first of many new hits for PBS of that sort of magnitude — that would be awesome,” Hoppe said.

This past weekend saw the boring Brickyard at its worst. Juan Pablo Montoya griped over his radio that trying to pass another car cost him position on the track. Jimmie Johnson suggested the track needed a second lane with more banking to help the cause. Denny Hamlin called passing “impossible.” “If impossible is hard, then it was impossible,” Hamlin said. “It is just a product of the speed we run, the tire we’ve got and the surface. It all just makes for hard racing. It’s hard to pass anyone. You’ve just got to deal with it.” Even super-snail “Tubo” would have been stuck in Sunday’s single-file snoozer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Never really considered an exciting 400 miles anyway, Indianapolis may have topped itself in the 20th Cup race at the famed track. There were three cautions, for stalled cars or debris, and no accidents or spins. And such little passing. The field fanned out into single-file racing for most of the event — a plodding style that perhaps is a big reason why the crowd has dwindled from 200,000-plus in the Brickyard’s NASCAR heyday to maybe 80,000 fans on Sunday. There were scores of empty rows along the frontstretch, and fans at home probably wound up changing the channel at times. The clean race was responsible for the fastest Brickyard in history at 2 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds. The race was basically a yawner until Ryan Newman used a flawless final pit stop to top Jimmie Johnson for the win. All this came only two months after one of the more thrilling Indianapolis 500s in history. Tony Kanaan passed leader Ryan Hunter-Reay to grab the lead in the last of a record 68 lead changes. The stock cars? They turned the 2½-mile Indy track into a leisurely Sunday drive. Just one pass for the lead under green that had nothing to do with pit stops. “On a flat racetrack, it’s just tough to pass,” Johnson said. “These corners, they aren’t really that long. You have four, 90-degree turns. That puts a lot against this racetrack for side-by-side racing. But we still love this place.” Drivers love the history steeped in the 108-year-old See BRICKYARD | 8 2 more plead guilty in truck-stop chain probe NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Two more members of the Pilot Flying J sales staff pleaded guilty Monday to defrauding customers at the truck-stop chain owned by the family of Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. The pleas by Regional Sales Manager Michael Scott Fenwick and Regional Account Representative Janet Welch bring the total number of sales employees pleading guilty in the case to seven. Two others have agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Court documents case show that the scheme to cheat customers out of rebate and discount money was well-known among sales staff. According to the plea agreements filed on Monday, both Welch and Fenwick participated in a November training session that taught employees how to defraud trucking companies without getting caught. Welch’s plea agreement says she “actively participated in the discussion.” And Fenwick told a group of sales employees that if a customer ever caught him reducing a rebate, he would blame the reduction on other sales staff or a computer error, according to his plea agreement. Welch’s agreement says she prepared and emailed monthly spreadsheets for approval to other sales staff containing the actual rebate amounts due along with a “deceptively reduced rebate amount” for some of the customers. Once approved, Welch would cause checks to be sent with deceptive amounts. Both Welch and Fenwick are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Prosecutors have agreed to hold them responsible only for those illegal acts in which they were personally involved. Both have agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and testify truthfully if called. Welch’s attorney declined to comment; Fen- incurred as a result of corrections the university made in reporting his income for 2009, 2010 and 2011. The agreement, signed by Gee on Monday, didn’t explain the corrections. University spokeswoman Gayle Saunders couldn’t immediately explain them but promised a statement later. Gee, 69, retired July 1, shortly after The Associated Press first reported remarks he made to the university’s Athletic Council in December. Those comments included digs at Notre Dame, the Big Ten, the University of Wisconsin athletic director and the University of Arkansas football coach. Gee apologized for the remarks following a March 11 letter from university trustees requiring such apologies and warning that future misstatements could lead to his firing. “It was my great calling to have led Ohio State for fourteen years, and I am proud to be able to continue my work for Ohio and Ohio State,” Gee said in a statement released by the university on Monday. Gee, who was Ohio State president from 1990 to 1997 and from 2007 until he retired, declined an AP request for additional comment Monday. He was one of the country’s highest-paid college presidents, with total compensation of about $2 million a year. The university had previously confirmed it was spending $190,000 on an office suite in its Page Hall for Gee as part of his new role. In the audiotaped remarks to the Athletic Council, Gee criticized Notre Dame, saying the university was never invited to join the Big Ten because the university’s religious leaders are not “good partners.” Christopher Weddle | Centre Daily Times | MCT photo Jerry Sandusky, center, is escorted from his sentencing at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte on Oct. 9, 2012. Sandusky, maintaining his innocence, was sentenced Tuesday to at least 30 years in prison, effectively a life sentence, in the child sexual abuse scandal that brought shame to Penn State and led to coach Joe Paterno’s downfall. Witness: Paterno said PSU erred on Sandusky HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Longtime Penn State head coach Joe Paterno said that the university mishandled its response to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, a former assistant coach testified Monday during a hearing for three top school officials accused of a cover-up. Star witness Mike McQueary appeared in a courtroom for the third time since Sandusky’s November 2011 arrest and told the court that top school officials knew that he had seen Sandusky molesting a boy in a locker room shower. But the former Penn State assistant coach and quarterback also delivered some unexpected testimony: that the late Hall of Fame coach had told him over the years that “Old Main screwed up” — referring to university administrators — in how it responded to McQueary’s allegation against Sandusky. Pressed by defense lawyers on his discussions of the subject, McQueary brought up a specific exchange at football practice in the hours before Paterno’s firing on Nov. 9, 2011 — four days after Sandusky’s arrest. He recalled the head coach saying the school would come down hard on McQueary and try to make him a scapegoat. Paterno also advised McQueary not to trust the administration or thenuniversity counsel Cynthia Baldwin, the former assistant testified. Former Penn State president Graham Spanier, retired university vice president Gary Schultz and ex-athletic director Tim Curley are accused of failing to tell police about a sexual abuse allegation involving Sandusky and then trying to cover up what they knew. The men say they are innocent. Paterno died in January 2012. He has never been charged, though former FBI Director Louis Freeh said in a universitysanctioned report that Paterno conspired with the three school officials to conceal accusations against Sandusky. Paterno’s family has vehemently denied those allegations. The former coach was “respectful of the process … and wanted to know the truth from the beginning,” and the latest testimony raised more questions about the credibility of Freeh’s report, Paterno family spokesman Dan McGinn said. “Joe Paterno believed the issue would be and should be handled See SANDUSKY | 8 OVP Sports Briefs Cunningham makes eighth Ace at Riverside MASON, W.Va. — Chuck Cunningham of the Mountaineer golf league used a gap wedge to hit a hole-in-one on the 110-yard 14th hole at Riverside Golf Club.

Miscellaneous Help Wanted General 60432536 Miscellaneous The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Sandusky AP Sports Briefs From Page 6 properly,” McGinn said. “That’s been true since the beginning here.” The judge must determine whether there’s enough evidence against the ex-officials to send the case to trial. They face charges including perjury, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of children. The core of McQueary’s testimony is that he saw Sandusky and a boy engaged in a sex act in the locker room shower in 2001 and within days reported it to Paterno, Curley and Schultz. Curley and Schultz “definitely knew it was a sexual act, a molestation act between Jerry Sandusky and a boy in the showers,” McQueary testified. Curley and Schultz have said McQueary never reported that the encounter was sexual in nature, while Spanier has said Curley and Schultz never told him about any sort of sex abuse. They said they believed that Sandusky and the boy were engaged in nothing more than horseplay. Sandusky is serving a 30to 60-year prison sentence after being convicted last year of sexually abusing 10 boys. He maintains his innocence. The hearing adjourned after about five hours of testimony and is scheduled to resume Tuesday morning in a Harrisburg courtroom with testimony from two more witnesses. Much of the testimony Monday revolved around prosecutors trying to show that Penn State officials should have known to report Sandusky to police in 2001 after complaints in 1998 that he had been showering with boys in university locker rooms. Tuesday, July 30, 2013 Pirates closer Grilli eyeing late-season return PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star closer Jason Grilli has no intention of sitting out the pennant race. Grilli said Monday he’s “going to be ready before the season’s out, you can mark my word on that.” The 36-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched since straining the flexor tendon in his throwing arm last Monday against Washington. Doctors have ordered Grilli to rest for at least another week before deciding whether to start a throwing program. The team has given no timetable for his return but the typical healing period is 1-2 months. Grilli has converted 30 of 31 save opportunities this season for the Pirates. The team begins an important five-game series with NL Central-leading St. Louis on Monday. Mark Melancon is 2 for 2 since taking over the closing role for Grilli a week ago. Police search lake in Hernandez’s hometown BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut and Massachusetts authorities on Monday searched in and around a lake in the hometown of Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots player who is charged with murder. Connecticut police declined to comment on the nature of Monday’s search at Pine Lake in Bristol and referred calls to Massachusetts prosecutors. Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for the Bristol County district attorney, would not comment. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston semi-professional football player whose body was found June 17 about a mile from Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough, Mass. The ex-player’s attorneys have called the case against him circumstantial. Authorities believe Lloyd was killed with a .45-caliber Glock, which hasn’t been recovered. Police divers were in Pine Lake on Monday and other officers could be seen combing the water’s edge. lar season and scored a touchdown against Indianapolis in Baltimore’s first postseason game. Ravens sign FB Leach after releasing him in June OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Vonta Leach is back with the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. The Pro Bowl fullback signed a two-year contract Monday after being released by the Ravens in June. Leach paved the way for running back Ray Rice to gain 1,143 yards last season. Leach ran nine times for 32 yards during the regu- Eagles will retire McNabb’s No. 5 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Donovan McNabb’s No. 5 will be retired by the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming the ninth player in franchise history to receive that honor. The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback formally announced his retirement Monday, though he hasn’t played in the NFL since 2011. McNabb will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame and have his jersey retired on Sept. 19 when the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs. Former Eagles coach Andy Reid, who drafted McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick in 1999, now coaches the Chiefs. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie praised McNabb’s toughness and “impeccable character.” passing, we can go out on I-465 and pass all you want. If you can tell me that’s more exciting than what you see at IMS, the great race car drivers that have competed here. This is about racing. This is about cars being fast. It doesn’t have to be two- and three-wide racing all day long to be good racing. Racing is about figuring out how to take the package you’re allowed and make it better than what everybody else has and do a better job with it.” As difficult as it was to pass, it’s just as hard for this style of racing to hook the next generation of fans on NASCAR at Indy. The new Gen-6 was expected to help, but it was the same old, same old. IndyCar has figured out how to make the 500 more exciting — now it’s NASCAR’s turn, even if there might not be much the series leaders can do about it. “It’s a one-groove track. It’s not going to change,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. “I don’t care what you do. It’s not the race car. It’s not the tire or nothing like that. It’s just the track. It’s one groove, four, 90-degree corners. I mean, there’s not much you can do about it.” Single-file racing sure beats the Goodyear tire debacle of 2008. And it’s better than not having the race at all on the circuit. But the event clearly needs a boost — whether it’s installing lights and turning it into a night race or moving it later on the schedule to launch the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Plenty of ideas were kicked around this weekend in the garage. There were just no easy answers. volved with operating Pilot Flying J, though he continues to hold an undisclosed ownership stake in the company posting annual revenues of about $30 billion. After the pleas on Monday, Pilot Flying J released a statement expressing disappointment in the actions of Welch and Fenwick. “We reiterate that the company, led by CEO Jimmy Haslam, is committed to do what is right, to pay back every customer affected by these actions, to implement policies and procedures to ensure this does not happen again, and to restore our customers’ trust and confidence, which is still wellplaced in Pilot Flying J,” the statement reads. The company says it has already sent checks to customers who were cheated out of rebates and discounts. A group of nine companies that was suing Pilot over the rebates has reached a class-action settlement. Another nine companies have said they will opt out of the settlement and pursue their own lawsuits. Brickyard From Page 6 track. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Newman fell in love with the place as kids, and they all talk of the reverence they hold for a place where A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears made Indy and open wheel king.

The Bengals have a much different look with their rookie running back. Cincinnati has tried for years to get more of a passcatching threat in their backfield. Bernard, a second-round pick from North Carolina, has provided it during training camp. BenJarvus Green-Ellis is still the featured back after running for a career-high 1,094 yards last season. But Bernard could wind up with a lot of plays, providing a different running style and another target for quarterback Andy Dalton’s passes. “Giovani Bernard has what we’re looking for,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He’ll be a great complement to BenJarvus. BenJarvus is a prideful man. He’ll be hard to displace.” One of the Bengals’ priorities in training camp is to figure out how the two fit together in one spot. The Bengals have featured a power running back the last five years in Cedric Benson and GreenEllis, who signed last season. They were hoping that Bernard Scott could share the job and provide more of an outside running threat, but he hurt his hand and ankle and tore his ACL last year. He’s not fully recovered from the knee surgery. Green-Ellis caught 22 passes last season but averaged only 4.7 yards per catch. Bernard had 47 catches for an average of 10.4 yards last season at North Carolina. “Obviously what sets him apart and why we re- David Eullitt | Kansas City Star | MCT photo Cincinnati Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis (42) runs past the tackle attempt of Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Tamba Hali (91) in the second quarter during NFL action on Nov. 18, 2012. Youngsters taking over on Steelers’ defensive line Browns lineman Miller recovering from concussion LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Casey Hampton’s deep belly laugh, the one that could cut the tension in a meeting room or light up the sideline in an instant, is gone. So is the massive backside that could send opposing centers back onto their heels and the wisdom that comes with being a five-time Pro Bowler. And for the man used to trotting onto the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers when Hampton’s familiar No. 98 came chugging off, it’s just weird. “Sometimes, I wish he was still here,” Steve McLendon said. “There’s not much you can say about it. I miss him. I think we all do.” While the decision to cut 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison in the offseason created headlines, the 35-year-old Hampton was nudged quietly toward retirement when the longest-tenured member of one of football’s most stable franchises was not offered a new contract. He remains unsigned, even though McLendon insists to learn he was responsive and moving his limbs. Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said the only other time he experienced anything as scary was when former Browns kick returner Josh Cribbs was knocked out last season in Baltimore. “I’ve only witnessed it a few times and anytime that happens you just pray and just hope for the best and hope everything is OK,” said Jackson. “I’ll tell you what, it made everyone realize that at any moment anything can happen.” The Browns drafted Miller in the fifth round out of Colorado last year. He played in eight games as a rookie and is expected to begin this season in a backup role behind Pro Bowl starter Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz. Cleveland has experience in dealing with concussions. Along with Cribbs, former quarterback Colt McCoy sustained a head injury at Pittsburgh two years ago that prompted the league to change its in-game handling of concussions. Hampton can still play. McLendon may be right, but it most certainly won’t be with the Steelers, leaving defensive end Brett Keisel as the last man standing from a defensive front that led Pittsburgh to three Super Bowl appearances and two championships during a six-year stretch between the 2005 and 2010 seasons. Chris Hoke retired at the end of 2011. So did end Aaron Smith. Now Hampton is gone and Keisel doesn’t have a deal beyond 2013. “If it is the end, I want to go out on top,” Keisel said. “And I want to go out on top if it’s not the end.” As has become tradition, Keisel arrived for training camp at Saint Vincent College on Friday in a dump truck with a Steelers hard hat perched atop his head and the barely-in-control thatch of hair that serves as his beard in midseason form. The entrance was more than a little symbolic, with Keisel pointing out the team is “under construction.” If so, the strongest beam needs to be replaced. Even as Hampton’s play declined as he approached his mid-30s, he remained the unquestioned heart and soul in the middle of Pittsburgh’s 3-4 defense. He clogged up running lanes between the hash marks and served as a mentor on the sidelines and in the classroom, one who knew how to push buttons with his homespun charm. The job has now been passed down to Keisel, coming off a steady season in which he picked up 4.5 sacks and was credited with 40 quarterback pressures. Surrounded by a bunch of 20-somethings, Keisel understands he’s now the old guy, one who is ready to carry on the legacy left behind by the players who molded him from seventh-round reach in 2002 to a veteran well into his second decade in the NFL. “If we need answers, we look to him,” defensive end Ziggy Hood said. “If he leads us through, I’m just going to follow.” Baseball Hall doors open for White, Ruppert, O’Day 60437206 CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns offensive lineman Ryan Miller returned to the team’s training facility on Sunday and began the NFL’s concussion protocol after being knocked unconscious during practice. Miller was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic on Saturday after his frightening injury during a routine blocking drill brought the Browns’ indoor workout to a standstill. The 6-foot-7, 320-pounder, who was released from the hospital after a few hours, will be monitored by the medical staff and must pass a series of tests before he can return to the field. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he visited Miller on Saturday night. Miller was taking part in one-on-one blocking drills inside the team’s indoor field house when he dropped after making contact with his helmet. He lay motionless for several minutes, and his teammates huddled around him in prayer as he was immobilized and strapped to a backboard. The Browns initially feared Miller had suffered a devastating injury, and were relieved ally were drawn to him was his quickness out of the backfield as far as catching the ball,” offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. Gruden’s job is to figure out how to share the position. Asked if he knows his role yet, Bernard said, “I really don’t know. I’m just kind of going out there and learning everything.” Green-Ellis has a slow start last season, especially with the offensive line in flux because of injuries. He failed to run for 100 yards in each of the first nine games, then topped 100 four times in a five-game stretch. COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — The rain, the gloom, the small gathering of fans didn’t matter. For the families of baseball pioneers Jacob Ruppert Jr., Hank O’Day and James “Deacon” White this was what they had long been waiting for. All three have been dead for more than seven decades. Now their legacies were secure with their induction Sunday into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. “This is a day we will all remember for the rest of our lives,” said Jerry Watkins, great grandson of White and one of nearly 50 family members in attendance. “In my mind, the only way it could have been better is if my dad were here to see it. My dad loved his grandfather, he loved baseball, and he loved the Chicago Cubs. It was his lifelong dream to see his grandfather enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and it was his lifelong dream to see the Cubs play in the World Series. Dad, today you got one of them.” White, a barehanded catcher who grew up in Caton, N.Y., near Corning, was one of major league baseball’s earliest stars. In fact, he was the first batter in the first professional game on May 4, 1871, and laced a double. An outstanding hitter, White was regarded as the best catcher in baseball before switching to third base later in his nearly 20-year career. A deeply religious man, White was nicknamed “Deacon” and dubbed “the most admirable superstar of the 1870s” by Bill James in his “Historical Baseball Extract.” White played for six teams and had a .312 career average. He finished with 2,067 hits, 270 doubles, 98 triples, 24 home runs and 988 RBIs before retiring in 1890. “In my heart, I never believed this day would come,” Watkins said. “If my grandfather were alive today, he would say thank you to the Hall of Fame for this great honor, and he would say thank you to each of you for being here. So, on his behalf I say thank you.” Ruppert was born in Manhattan in 1867 and instead of college went to work for his father in the family brewing business. He also fashioned a military career, rising to the rank of colonel in the National Guard, and served four terms in Congress from 1899-1907 before becoming president of the Jacob Ruppert Brewing Co. upon the death of his father in 1915. Interested in baseball since he was a kid, Ruppert purchased the Yankees before the 1915 season for $480,000, then proceeded to transform what had been a perennial also-ran in the American League into a powerhouse. He hired Miller Huggins as manager, Ed Barrow as his general ‘In my heart, I never believed this day would come.’ — Jerry Watkins Great grandson of James “Deacon” White manager, snared Babe Ruth in a 1919 deal with the Boston Red Sox that changed the dynamics of the sport and built Yankee Stadium in 1923. When Ruppert died in 1939, his teams had won 10 AL pennants and seven World Series in 18 seasons. “For my family, it’s a huge honor. I’m sure Uncle Jacob would be proud,” said Anne Vernon, a great grandniece of Ruppert. “It’s also very meaningful for my children. It has meant so much.” O’Day was born on the rural west side of Chicago in 1859 and played ball as a kid with his older brothers. He apprenticed as a steamfitter while pitching for several local teams. He turned pro in 1884, but his arm suffered mightily in seven years of action and he retired not long after leading the New York Giants to the National League pennant in 1889 and pitching a complete game to clinch the 19th century precursor to the modern World Series. During his playing days, O’Day umpired occasionally and was so proficient he was hired in 1895. After working a season in the minor leagues, he joined the NL in 1897 and went on to umpire more than 4,000 games. His greatest contribution to baseball was persuading those associated with the game to treat the men in blue with dignity. “He was almost a mythic figure in our family,” 70-year-old Dennis McNamara, a grandnephew of O’Day, said as he choked back tears. “I wonder, what does this mean? It means everyone is recognized at some point. You may not know it, but recognition does come.” O’Day’s most memorable call happened in September 1908 when he called Fred Merkle of the New York Giants out for not touching second base on what would have been a game-winning hit against the Chicago Cubs in the bottom of the ninth. Cubs second baseman Johnny Evers noticed it and appealed to O’Day, the only man in the history of the NL to play, manage, and umpire in the postseason. O’Day, who went on to manage the Cubs, called Merkle out on a force play, the game ended in a tie and the teams finished the season tied for first place. The Cubs won the makeup game and the pennant, their last, and O’Day never wavered in his ruling. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
