The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, at various locations. Volunteers can meet at the amphitheatre stage in the river parking lot in Pomeroy; at Star Mill Park in Racine; and at the shelter house by the ball fields in Syracuse. Groups will leave each location at 9 a.m. Gloves and trash bags will be provided to volunteers, who will also get free t-shirts and refreshments after the event ends, at noon.

Since 1989, this awardwinning cleanup for the Ohio River and its tributaries brings thousands of volunteers to the riverbanks to collect tons of trash and debris. River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, Pa. to its end in Cairo, Ill., including 1,962 miles of shoreline and many tributaries. Each year, more than 21,000 volunteers from public organizations, civic groups, recreational clubs, and the general public in six states bordering the river come together to collect more than 20,000 tons of trash and other debris from the banks of the Ohio River and tributaries. To make this event a success, donors work with the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, an interstate water pollution agency for the Ohio River Valley, along with environmental protection and natural resource agencies from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. GALLIPOLIS — Four individuals are in custody and murder charges have been filed following an investigation into the death of a Gallia County man — a death that has now been deemed a homicide. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning reported on Wednesday that Lacey S. Redmond, 26, Portsmouth Road, Gallipolis; Steven L. Williams, 31, 381 Buck Ridge Road, Bidwell; Eugene O. Wasonga, 24, Sunset Lane, Point Pleasant, W.Va.; and James C. Garrett, 21, Annista Drive, Point Pleasant, W.Va., are being charged in connection with the death of Zane T. Taylor, 33. At approximately 2:05 p.m. on Monday, June 11, deputies responded to Taylor’s home at 1841 Ohio 218, in a rural area of Clay Township, Gallia County, after he had been found deceased in his home. Upon investigating the scene and speaking with persons who had been with Taylor prior to his death, deputies and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) agents were able to interview and take the four suspects into custody in connection with the homicide. According to Browning, deputies and BCI agents uncovered information that lead them to believe that Taylor’s death was the result of a robbery involving the obtainment of money for illegal drugs.

Member SIPC. wins Ariz. House seat PHOENIX (AP) — Ron Barber, who almost lost his life in the Arizona shooting rampage that wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, won a special election to succeed her, giving Democrats a psychological boost after last week’s failed effort to recall Wisconsin’s Republican governor. Appearing with Giffords at a Tucson hotel after his victory Tuesday night, Barber told supporters, “Life takes unexpected turns and here we are, thanks to you.” Giffords hugged him and kissed his forehead. Barber defeated Republican Jesse Kelly, who narrowly lost to Giffords in 2010 in a competitive district that Republicans have won in the last two presidential elections. Giffords has made few public appearances since resigning in January to focus on her recovery, but she dashed back to Tucson during the campaign’s final days to help her former district director. Democratic officials were quick to argue that the victory sets the stage for them to win back control of the House. “This campaign previewed the message fight that will play out across the country in November: Democrats committed to protecting the middle class, Social Security and Medicare versus misleading Republican attacks on Obamacare and national Democrats,” said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Demo- cratic Congressional Campaign Committee. But Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said special elections are unique and the Arizona race was particularly so because of what had happened to Giffords. He predicted that Barber would not fare as well in the fall with President Barack Obama leading the ticket. “No one wanted this election to happen or to see Gabrielle Giffords step down from Congress, but Jesse ran a campaign focused on progrowth policies that will lead to less government and a strong and vibrant economy,” Sessions said. In his concession speech, Kelly said: “We executed the plan we wanted. The voters of southern Arizona did something different.” Republicans had sought to make the contest a referendum on Obama and his handling of the economy. Democrats played to the senior vote by contending that Kelly would not protect Medicare and Social Security. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Barber won about 52 percent of the vote while Kelly had 46 percent. Both candidates have promised to run for a full term in the fall, setting up a possible November rematch in a redrawn district that is friendlier to Democrats. Republican voters outnumber Democratic voters by about 26,000 under the current map. That edge will narrow to about 2,000 under redistricting. Elsewhere Tuesday, Virginia, North Dakota, Nevada, Maine, Arkansas and South Carolina held primary elections. In Virginia, George Allen, a former governor and senator, brushed aside three rivals in the Republican Senate primary. Allen’s victory set up a November clash with another former Virginia governor, Democrat Tim Kaine, in a campaign closely tied to the presidential race in a state both parties consider vital for victory. In North Dakota, Rep. Rick Berg defeated businessman Duane Sand in the state’s Republican Senate primary. Berg faces Democrat Heidi Heitkamp in the November race to replace retiring Sen. Kent Conrad. The election is expected to play a critical role in determining which party controls the Senate. Voters also decided to let the University of North Dakota scrap its controversial nickname, the Fighting Sioux. The NCAA had deemed the name hostile and abusive, and placed the university under postseason sanctions. The state’s Board of Education is expected to retire the moniker and American Indian head logo.

She is a single lady, all alone. — C.D. Dear C.D.: Your aunt sounds like a very proud and determined woman.

Now he seems so insecure. He is constantly asking me if I love him, like him and if I am mad at him. Nothing has changed except that we got engaged, and I don’t know where all this is coming from. I know he trusts me — as he should — but it’s almost as though he thinks I have another guy. We are both 24. I am tired of reassuring him, and am beginning to get angry with him for acting like such a baby. — T.R.

This may be annoying right now, but you have to sit down with him and let him know that you are there for the long haul. What I wouldn’t suggest you do is continue to reassure him and set up a situation where he is constantly in need of emotional stroking. If you have that little talk and are sure of your commitment, and your fiance continues to plague you with his neediness, then I think you may have a problem on your hands. Men who think the relationship is in jeopardy in the face of all opposing evidence can turn into suspicious, controlling husbands. Or he may just remain intolerably insecure and in need of constant ego bolstering. Either way, it’s not a recipe for a happy marriage. So the sooner you have that chat, the better, and then you will begin to know what you are dealing with.

The fuel that powered the U.S. from the industrial revolution into the iPhone era is being pushed aside as utilities switch to cleaner and cheaper alternatives. The share of U.S. electricity that comes from coal is forecast to fall below 40 percent for the year — the lowest level since the government began collecting this data in 1949. Four years ago, it was 50 percent. By the end of this decade, it is likely to be near 30 percent. “The peak has passed,” says Jone-Lin Wang, head of Global Power for the energy research firm IHS CERA. Utilities are aggressively ditching coal in favor of natural gas, which has become cheaper as supplies grow. Natural gas has other advantages over coal: It produces far fewer emissions of toxic chemicals and gases that contribute to climate change, key attributes as tougher environmental rules go into effect. Natural gas will be used to produce 29 percent of the country’s electricity this year, up from 20 percent in 2008. Nuclear accounts for 20 percent. Hydroelectric, wind, solar and other renewables make up the rest. The shift from coal is reverberating across Appalachia, where mining companies are laying off workers and cutting production. Utilities across the country are grappling with how to store growing piles of unused coal. And legal disputes are breaking out as they try to cancel contracts and defer deliveries: — Mining company Alpha Natural Resources of Bristol, Va., plans to produce 11.5 million fewer tons of coal this year, a decline of 11 percent, because so many customers have requested deferrals. The company has announced that 12 mining operations in Kentucky and West Virginia will be idled or slowed, and 353 jobs cut. — Patriot Coal, a mining company based in St. Louis, closed a mine in Kentucky, idled several others in Kentucky and West Virginia, and has cut 1,000 jobs. The company’s stock has fallen below $2, down from nearly $25 a year ago, and the company’s CEO, Richard Whiting, was replaced at the end of May. — GenOn, a wholesale power producer based in Houston, has invoked a legal clause typically used after natural disasters to try to stop suppliers from delivering more coal to already overloaded plants. “We just can’t physically take it right now,” says GenOn CEO Edward Muller. Coal has dominated the U.S. power industry for so long because it’s a cheap and abundant domestic resource. The U.S. is the world’s second-largest coal producer after China, and it has the world’s biggest reserves — enough to last more than 200 years. Coal has also enjoyed strong political support because of the jobs it provides in mining and transportation. That helped coal thrive even as environmental concerns over mining practices and air quality grew. Just five years ago, coal was flourishing in the U.S. With electricity demand and the price of natural gas both rising, coal was viewed as essential to keeping power costs under control. Utilities drew up plans to build dozens of coal-fired plants. But around the same time, a revolution was under way in the natural gas industry. Drillers figured how to tap enormous deposits of previously inaccessible reserves. As supplies grew and the price of natural gas plummeted, the ground shifted under the electric-power industry. Now coal is being beaten at its own game. Natural gas has become a cheap and abundant domestic resource, too. And it is more environmentally friendly. Power plants that burn coal produce more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide and twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas, according to the Gov- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Sulfur dioxide causes acid rain; nitrogen oxides cause smog; and carbon dioxide is a so-called greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. A pair of clean air rules enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency over the past year tightens limits on power-plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, and place new limits on mercury, a poison found in coal. This will force between 32 and 68 of the dirtiest and oldest coal plants in the country to close over the next three years as the rules go into effect, according to an AP survey of power plant operators conducted late last year. Coal was hit with a potentially bigger environmental blow in March when the EPA issued guidelines that could limit greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as 2013. Once the guidelines go into effect, no coal plants will be built unless utilities can develop a cost-effective way to capture carbon dioxide, analysts say. That technology has been slow to develop and is very expensive. “Even without the EPA rules, coal is not really competitive,” Wang says. Coal executives are hardly giving up. Nick DeIuliis, President of Consol Energy, a coal and natural gas producer based in Canonsburg, Pa., doubts the EPA’s restrictions on greenhouse gases will survive long term because of the economic harm he says they will inflict. Consol and other U.S. coal companies hope to be able to keep mines active by exporting more of the country’s huge reserves. Last year U.S. coal exports hit a record 107 million short tons. High grade coal that is used to make steel is in particular demand in developing countries such as China, India and Brazil. DeIuliis says the price of natural gas will rebound over time and that coal will once again account for half the nation’s electricity. “This is a cycle,” he says. Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — It sounds like a silver lining. Even if the Supreme Court overturns President Barack Obama’s health care law, employers can keep offering popular coverage for the young adult children of their workers. But here’s the catch: The parents’ taxes would go up. That’s only one of the messy potential ripple effects when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on the Affordable Care Act this month. The law affects most major components of the U.S. health care system in its effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured people. Because the legislation is so complicated, an orderly unwinding would prove difficult if it were overturned entirely or in part. Better Medicare prescription benefits, currently saving hundreds of dollars for older people with high drug costs, would be suspended. Ditto for preventive care with no co-payments, now available to retirees and working families alike. Partially overturning the law could leave hospitals, insurers and other service providers on the hook for tax increases and spending cuts without the law’s promise of more paying customers to offset losses. If the law is upheld, other kinds of complications could result. The nation is so divided that states led by Republicans are largely unprepared to carry out critical requirements such as creating insurance markets. Things may not settle down. “At the end of the day, I don’t think any of the major players in the health insurance industry or the provider community really wants to see the whole thing overturned,” said Christine Ferguson, a health policy expert who was commissioner of public health in Massachusetts when Mitt Romney was governor. “Even though this is not the most ideal solution, at least it is moving us forward, and it does infuse some money into the system for coverage,” said Ferguson, now at George Washington University. As the GOP presidential candidate, Romney has pledged to wipe Obama’s law off the books. But he defends his Massachusetts law that served as a prototype for Obama’s. While it’s unclear how the justices will rule, oral arguments did not go well for the Obama administration. The central issue is whether the government can require individuals to have health insurance and fine them if they don’t. That mandate takes effect in 2014, at the same time that the law would prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage to people with existing health problems. Most experts say the coverage guarantee would balloon costs unless virtually all people joined the insurance pool. Opponents say Congress overstepped its constitutional authority by issuing the insurance mandate. The administration says the requirement is permissible because it serves to regulate interstate commerce. Most people already are insured. The law provides subsidies to help uninsured middle-class households pay 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 coverage for young adults up to age 26 on a parent’s health insurance is a popular provision that no one’s arguing about. A report last week from the Commonwealth Fund estimated that 6.6 million young adults have taken advantage of the benefit, while a new Gallup survey showed the uninsured rate for people age 18-25 continues to decline, down to 23 percent from 28 percent when the law took effect. Families will be watching to see if their 20-somethings transitioning to the work world will get to keep that newfound security. Because the benefit is a winner with consumers, experts say many employers and insurers would look for ways to keep offering it even if there’s no legal requirement to do so. On Monday, UnitedHealth Group Inc., the nation’s largest insurer, is announcing that it will continue to offer coverage to young adults even if the health care law is struck down. But economist Paul Fronstin of the Employee Benefit Research Institute says many parents would pay higher taxes as a result because they would have to pay for the young adult’s coverage with after-tax dollars. Under the health care law, that coverage now comes out of pre-tax dollars. Fronstin says there’s no way to tell exactly how much that tax increase might be, but a couple of hundred dollars a year or more is a reasonable ballpark estimate. Upper-income taxpayers would have a greater liability. “Adult children aren’t necessarily dependents for tax purposes, but an employer can allow anyone to be on a plan, just like they now allow domestic partners,” said Fronstin. “If your employer said, ‘I’m going to let you keep this,’ it would become a taxable benefit for certain people.” Advocates for the elderly are also worried about untoward ripple effects. If the entire law is overturned, seniors with high prescription costs in Medicare’s “donut hole” coverage gap could lose annual discounts averaging about $600. AARP policy director David Certner says he would hope the discounts could remain in place at least through the end of this year. Yet that might not be possible. Lacking legal authority, Medicare would have to take away the discounts. Drugmakers, now bearing the cost, could decide they want to keep offering discounts voluntarily. But then they’d risk running afoul of other federal rules that bar medical providers from offering financial inducements to Medicare recipients. “I don’t think anyone has any idea,” said Certner. A mixed verdict from the high court would be the most confusing outcome. Some parts of the law would be struck down while others lurch ahead. That kind of result would seem to call for Congress to step in and smooth any necessary adjustments. Yet partisan divisions on Capitol Hill are so intense that hardly anyone sees a chance that would happen this year.

Redmond, William and Wasonga are being held under $1 million, 10 percent bonds; while Garrett’s bond has been set at $1.5 million, 10 percent. During the hearings, Evans explained the respective charges filed against each of the suspects, discussed the court proceedings and read the formal complaints filed with the municipal court. The factual statements within each complaint, as read by Evans on Wednesday, explain the alleged events leading up to the incident on June 11 as discov- ered by investigators. “The victim was found deceased on June 11, 2012, at his residence. Upon investigating the death, investigators interviewed co-defendants Redmond, Williams, and Wasonga who each admitted to forming a plan, along with co-defendant Garrett to go to the victim’s house and rob him of cash, drugs and property,” Evans read from one of the statements. “The three co-defendants who gave statements stated that, during the robbery, the defendant Garrett held the victim down and placed him in a choke hold which ultimately led to his death.

So far, his side is winning both matchups. Durant delivered the fourth quarter his counterpart never could last year, scoring 17 of his 36 points and leading a Thunder storm that overwhelmed Miami and gave Oklahoma City a 105-94 victory in Game 1 on Tuesday night.

We just wanted to continue to keep playing,” Durant said. “It’s a long game, and every time our coach was just saying play harder, play harder, and that’s what we did.” Teaming with Russell Westbrook to outscore the Heat in the second half by themselves, Durant struck first in his head-to-head matchup with James, who had seven points in the final quarter and was helpless to stop the league’s three-time scoring champion. Westbrook turned around a poor shooting start to finish with 27 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds for the Thunder, keying a strong finish to the third period that gave the Thunder the lead for good. Durant took over from there. Scoring in nearly every way possible, Durant finished 12 of 20 from the field and added eight rebounds. He and Westbrook outscored the Heat 4140 over the final two periods, showing that maybe this time it will be offense that wins championships. “That’s what they do, they keep on coming,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “They’re relentless.” James finished with 30 points, the most in any of his 11 finals games, but had only one basket over the first 8:15 of the fourth, when the Thunder seized control of a game they trailed for all but the final few seconds of the first three quarters. James averaged just three points in the fourth quarters of the Heat’s sixgame loss to Dallas last year, taking almost all the blame for Miami’s finals failure. He was good in this one, Durant was just better. “They didn’t make many mistakes in the fourth quarter,” James said. And when fans chanted “MVP! MVP!” late in the game, they weren’t talking about James, the guy who won the regular-season award. They meant Durant, who is in a race See DURANT |‌ 8 Browns’ Cribbs charters bus for A look back at the Kent State fans CLEVELAND (AP) — Kent State’s making its first trip to the College World Series and Josh Cribbs is making sure the Golden Flashes have fans in Nebraska to support them. The Browns wide receiver, and one of the school’s most famous and proud alums, has chartered a bus for fans to take to Omaha. “I’m going to do my part in making sure those guys have a fan base out there cheering for them,” Cribbs said following practice Tuesday. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Cribbs, who played quarterback at Kent State from 20012004, bought tickets for Kent State’s game on Saturday against Arkansas. A message on teamcribbs.com says packages are available for $150 per person and include a hotel room on Friday night, beverages and snack on the bus. It’s not clear if Cribbs is making the trip. “I’m trying to be there to support my team,” he said. “I love that they’re giving us something to cheer for, especially during this offseason.” Cribbs said even fans of rival Akron have been tweeting him congratulations for his alma mater’s big win. The Golden Flashes are the first Mid-American Conference team to make it to the World Series since Eastern Michigan in 1976. Kent State advanced by winning two of three games against Oregon. The Golden Flashes earned their spot among the nation’s final eight teams with a 3-2 win on Monday night, scoring the winning run on Jimmy Rider’s bloop double in the bottom of the ninth inning. Cribbs was getting a massage in the final innings of the thrilling win. “My masseuse was like, ‘Do you want me to stop real quick? I was jumping around. ‘They did it!’” he said. “They had me on pins and needles. I turned back from the game, they were getting me too stressed out while I was getting stretched and massaged. It was too tense. Then when (Oregon) came back, I couldn’t look. It was epic.” Cribbs was excited his school was getting a moment in the national spotlight, just as it did in 2002 when Kent State made it to the national quarterfinals in men’s basketball. “They’ve always had an elite team and it’s about time they started getting recognized for it,” he said. “That was my first sport, baseball, so it runs deep with me. I’m going to be supporting them to the end.” OVP Sports Briefs Hustlin’ Tornado Basketball Camp RACINE, Ohio — Southern High School will be hosting its sixth annual Hustlin’ Tornado Basketball Camp on Monday, June 18 through Thursday, June 21 for all boys and girls entering grades 1-6 at Charles W.

Stories 8-10 will appear today, stories 5-7 will be included in Friday’s sports edition and the top four stories will be part of the weekend sports edition. You like a good story? Sure you do, and who doesn’t? With the end of the 2011-12 school year coming a few weeks ago, I took some time to look back at what all happened this sports season in the Ohio Valley Publishing area — which pertains to Meigs, Gallia and Mason counties. What I found in my research was a sports year that featured a lot of amazing stories, way too many to try and list one-by-one. In revisiting all the stories from the last 10 months of high school competition, I came away with what I believe to be the 10 very best stories to come out of the 2011-12 sports campaign. And that is what I will share with you, starting now. 10. Rebels and Roundball: Record-wise, it wasn’t the most successful boys basketball campaign in South Gallia’s 16year history. From a postseason aspect, however, the Rebels’ 1310 overall mark never looked better.

Second week of Capehart League a success Staff Report mdtsports@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League played its second tournament of the season Monday afternoon at the Cliffside Golf Course in Gallia County. The light rain that fell before and during the early holes of the tournament may have kept a few participants at home, but those that played did not let the weather limit their efforts. The results of the play produced some new individual winners as well as some changes in the year to date point standings. The 10-and-under age group had their first players for the year. Dylan Tayengco from Point Pleasant shot a fine 45 for the day. Cade Roberts from Gallipolis placed second. Dylan now leads this group with a total of 10 points while Cade is a close second with eight points. Bryce Tayengco, Dylan’s older brother was the only player in the 1112 age group. Bryce’s score of 46 won the 10 first place points. A tie for first place now exists for this group. Bryce and Jonah Hoback, missing for Monday’s action, from Racine are now tied at the top with 10 points each in the boys division. Sydney Cleland from Racine did not play this week, but remains the leader in the girls division with 10 points. The 13-14 year old age group provided competitive golf for the top 3 positions. Newcomer Logan Sheets from Bidwell turned in a score of 49 to edge Jacob Hoback from Racine by two strokes with Jared Parissi from Gallipolis finishing an additional stroke behind. Jacob has now accumulated 18 points for the season, but both Logan and Jared are within striking distance with 10 and six points respectively. Six players participated in the 1517 year old age group. The days top score was 43 shot by Gus Slone from Crown City. Seth Jarrell, from Crown City, followed with a 52 for the second place trophy. Ethan Swain,also from Crown City, and Jordan Howell of Gallipolis tied for third place with each posting a 55 for the day. Zack Morris, from Vinton, and Cuyler Mills from Crown City also played. Gus Slone and Seth Jarrell are now tied for first place with 18 points apiece. Ethan Swain moved into the third position with nine points. David Michael from Crown City won the 18-19 year old age group shooting a 43 for the nine holes. This is second week that David has won first place in this group. His year to date total point score is 20. Andy Welch, from Crown City, finished in second place. His year to date point total is now eight giving him a outside shot to replace David as the leader in this group. The next stop on the tournament schedule is next Monday, June 18, at the Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W.Va. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with play starting at 9 a.m. �Thursday, June 14, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com Legals Business We buy Gold and Silver Located at Roush’s Body Shop in Portland 740-843-5310 60318100 IN THE COMMON PLEAS COURT, PROBATE DIVISION MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO IN THE MATTER OF SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS, PROBATE COURT MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO Accounts and vouchers of the following named fiduciary has been filed in the Probate Court, Meigs County, Ohio for approval and settlement.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing �Thursday, June 14, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Season From Page 6 ping eight of its final 13 contests headed into tournament play. But after struggling through injuries, illnesses and other unforeseeable events throughout most of the regular season, the Rebels got well at just the right time — headed into Division IV tournament play. SGHS squeaked out a 60-52 victory over Ironton Saint Joseph to claim the school’s fourth sectional title, then used that momentum the following week in knocking off top-seeded Portsmouth Notre Dame 47-44 for the program’s first-ever district victory. The Rebels’ magical run ultimately came to an end a few nights later after suffering a 6455 setback to Pike Eastern in the district championship, but the Red and Gold did not come away empty-handed in defeat. SGHS was the last Tri-Valley Conference team — Ohio or Hocking Division — left standing in boys basketball this past winter, and the Rebels also joined Gallia Academy as the only Gallia County schools to have ever appeared in a district final. South Gallia — which also won sectional basketball titles in 2005, 2006 and 2011 — was also the only Ohio school to qualify for the football playoffs this past fall. Other notables from this past basketball season that won’t be mentioned later on include both the Southern boys and Point Pleasant girls winning sectional titles, as well as Isaac Lee (Wahama) and Pete Carman (OVCS) eclipsing the 1,000-point scoring plateau for their respective careers. 9. A Runner’s World. Thrower’s too. Left, right, left, right — and repeat. There’s simply more to it than that. During both the fall and spring, the OVP area had several athletes break down barriers by putting one foot in front of the other. More importantly, those efforts led to some historic moments for those athletes — both individually and as a member of a program. Gallia Academy senior Peyton Adkins completed a stellar career in style after winning her first SEOAL athlete of the year award this spring as the top point-scorer at the league track meet. Adkins, a 10-time SEOAL champion in track and field, also became the first female to ever win four individual SEOAL championships in cross country. Adkins, who is headed to Ohio University in the fall to continue her running career, is also a sixtime All-Ohio recipient in both cross country and track. Senior Tyler Cline became the first male athlete at Eastern to ever finish on the podium in two separate years at the state track meet. Cline, for the second straight year, finished fourth overall in the Division III discus event — making him the only Eagle to ever score at state twice. Cline’s fourth-place finish matches the best-ever in school history (Kyle Connery was 4th in the 400m dash in 2011) and that duo also joins Mike Johnson (tied for 7th in the high jump in 2010) as the only male placers in Eastern history. Southern’s Kody Wolfe became the first SHS runner to ever qualify multiple times for the D-3 state cross country meet after earning his second straight appearance this past fall. The junior followed that effort by becoming the first Tornado to ever qualify for multiple events at the Division III state track meet a few weeks ago. Wolfe won his second straight TVC title in cross country this fall and was also part of three league titles in track. Gallia and Meigs counties combined to send 14 athletes to the state track meet, and Gallia Academy senior Mckenna Warner also earned her first career All-Ohio honor in cross country after ap- Bryan Walters/photo Gallia Academy junior Justin Bailey prepares to apply a tag on a Miami Trace baserunner during this May 17 Division II district championship baseball game at Paint Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. pearing at the state meet all four years of her career. Point Pleasant junior Andrea Porter qualified for her second straight state cross country final and also had a pair of runner-up efforts at the state track meet, one of just 35 athletes from Mason County to qualify for the state track and field championships. The Big Blacks finished second overall as a team in Class AA and the Lady Knights were 7th overall at the state track meet. The Wahama boys also finished 10th overall as a team at the Class A meet. 8. Diamond Gems. Collectively, there are a total of 18 baseball and softball teams in the OVP area. And of those 18 programs, a dozen finished the 2012 spring with 13 or more victories. Needless to say, there were some pretty good local squads that took to the diamond this year. Seven of those 12 programs recorded at least 20 wins apiece and four teams advanced to regional play, but only one (Point Pleasant baseball) made it to the state tournament. The baseball teams from PPHS, Southern, Gallia Academy, Wahama and Meigs all won 20-ormore games this spring, while the softball programs at Eastern and Wahama also reached 20-ormore victories this past season. Wahama was also the only school in the OVP area that had a pair of 20-win seasons in each sport. Diamond teams from the area combined to win five league titles, 10 sectional crowns, a district title and a regional crown in the span of two months. With due respect to the baseball teams at Southern and Point Pleasant (both of which will show up a little later on this list), the biggest story to come away from the diamond this spring may have been at Gallia Academy. The Blue Devils — who won their second straight outright SEOAL championship — eclipsed the 20-win plateau for the first time in school history. GAHS — which went 22-7 overall — also managed to get into extra innings while searching for the program’s first-ever district title before ultimately succumbing to Miami Trace by a 4-2 count. Other teams this spring with 13-or-more wins on the diamond included Eastern baseball, Gallia Academy softball, Point Pleasant softball, Meigs softball and Southern softball. South Gallia softball — which finished 9-14 overall — also managed to win a sectional title for the second consecutive year. Durant From Page 6 with James for his first ring — and maybe the title of best player in the game. Game 2 is Thursday night in Oklahoma City. Dwyane Wade had 19 points but shot just 7 of 19 for the Heat, while Shane Battier provided some rare offense by scoring 17 points, his high this postseason. Turning to a small lineup late in the third quarter, the Thunder improved to 9-0 at home in the postseason. Defensive ace Thabo Sefolosha helped defend James during the Thunder’s comeback, relieving Durant of the burden so he could focus on his scoring. And right now, nobody does it better. Spoelstra said his team, pushed to seven games against Boston in a grueling conference finals the Heat finally won Saturday, preferred this quick turnaround. But perhaps they ran out of gas against the young Thunder, whose core players are all 23 and younger and look as if they could keep playing all night. “Honestly, I think we just came out with a lot more intensity on the defensive end. Made them feel us a little bit,” Westbrook said of the second half, when the Thunder outscored the Heat 58-40. James and Wade both were bent over, hands on knees, during one stoppage with about 7 minutes remaining. Durant kept pouring it on, racing down the court to throw down a fastbreak dunk and later adding a 3-pointer that pushed it to 87-81 with 6 1-2 minutes remaining. The Heat got within four points, but Durant hit two quick baskets and Westbrook added another for a 10-point lead with 3:35 to go. “They just made more plays than us,” Wade said. “They got a couple offensive rebounds that kind of hurt us. Got a couple of open shots and from that point we were kind of playing from behind.” It’s been a rapid rise toward the top for the Thunder, who started 3-29 in 2008-09, their first season here after moving from Seattle. Fans were clearly embracing the finals’ arrival in Oklahoma City, where cars, buildings and even fans’ hair seemed to be painted some form of orange or blue. Fans standing until the Thunder’s first basket didn’t have to wait long, Durant knocking down a baseline jumper 70 seconds in. He made his first three shots, including two 3-pointers, but his teammates missed their first six attempts in falling into an early hole. Durant made sure they were fine at the end. Both superstars tried to downplay their individual matchup, Durant insisting it was about the team and James adamant that he didn’t care about the best player in the game argument. It was James’ supporting cast that stepped up bigger to start, the Heat hitting five of their six 3-point attempts in jumping to a 2922 lead after one quarter. Spoelstra kept Chris Bosh as a reserve, the role he has played since returning from a nine-game absence with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Smart decision, as Battier hit his first three 3-point attempts in the opening minutes to spark Miami’s strong start. Durant took only one shot in the second quarter, and it wasn’t until 9 minutes had passed. By then, the Heat had built a lead as large as 13 points, keeping it in or near double digits most of the period before the Thunder sliced it to 5447 at halftime. Miscellaneous Seemingly every fan was wearing the blue shirts hung on their chairs before the game — an exception being rapper Lil Wayne, who caused a stir during the Western Conference finals when he posted on Twitter that the Thunder wouldn’t let him into their arena, with the team saying simply that he needed to buy tickets if he wanted to come. He did, he and his guest both wearing black. The sea of blue around the court looked like the scene last year in Dallas, where James struggled so badly when it mattered most. He said he let his team down, vowing he would have no regrets about his performance this time around. Unfortunately, the result was all too familiar to the Heat. James quickly answered after Oklahoma City tied the game for the first time at 60-all midway through the third, banking in a shot and powering in for a layup and a quick four-point lead. The Heat pushed the lead back to five but the Thunder kept coming, finally pulling ahead for the first time when Westbrook darted into the lane and was fouled while scoring with 16.4 seconds remaining in the period, the free throw making it 74-73. Baskets by Durant and Sefolosha to open the fourth pushed it to a fivepoint lead, and the Heat never recovered. Notes: Battier’s 13 firsthalf points equaled his high for the postseason. He and Westbrook were also called for double technical fouls after Westbrook’s basket with about 30 seconds left in the half. … The Thunder, 2359 in 2008-09, duplicated the feat of the Heat, who also reached a finals within three seasons of a 25-win season. Miami was 15-67 in 2007-08 before playing for the title last year. �Thursday, June 14, 2012 Thursday, June 14, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 14, 2012: Your strength comes from your endless imagination, which you seem to be able to tap into at any moment. You evolve into a resource for others. If you are single, you could meet someone simply by going to the gym or the bank. Date, but don’t commit until you are sure. Give yourself time. If you are attached, the two of you laugh and enjoy yourselves even more. Enjoy this special period. TAURUS can be possessive. 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) HHH Should you wake up early, do not hesitate to zero in on what you want. The morning allows great flexibility. Finances and the people you are dealing with become priorities in an unexpected manner. Know that there is some vagueness regarding these dealings. Tonight: Start thinking “weekend.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might want more sleep as you wake up, but never fear — you will feel better and better as the day goes on. Others seem to use your words and apply your ideas to their own projects. You could be fascinated by what emerges. Tonight: The world is your oyster. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Take your time making important decisions. You could feel out of kilter or wonder what might be best for you, as well as for the group. Is there a space where the two different needs can meet? Be as direct and clear as possible. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Though you could hit an early-morning roadblock, by the afternoon you will be going full speed ahead. You have plans, and you also have the map to get there. A slight detour is no big thing. Listen to what others think your options are — it might be interesting. Tonight: Where the gang is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Where others are confused, you will be available to maintain a certain focus. Others are not quite sure as to what is going on with a key person in your life and theirs. Remain practical and centered. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep your eyes on the big picture. You might have a difficult time understanding why others cannot visualize what you see. You will have to point to each marker on the path. One person you care about seems unusually witty at the moment. Enjoy it; this does not happen often. Tonight: Read between the lines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Deal with each person directly who crosses your path. Someone might be confused as to what he or she is doing. Though you could shed some light on this issue, perhaps it is better for this person to go it alone. Tonight: Make togetherness the theme. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Defer to others, and know exactly what it is you want: control or the space to go off and do what you want. A child or loved one presents quite an enchanting invitation. You might not want to accept it, yet you can’t say “no.” Tonight: Let your mind rock and roll. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A fun idea in the morning could slow down your day or force a change of plans, but you don’t care. A family member also might want to join in. A spontaneous day off could rejuvenate your spirit, though you might not know that until later. Tonight: Stay nice and even. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH No one can tamper with your creativity. In the particular mood you are in, you could make a joke out of the most insulting comment. Whether you want to share this innate gift is your call. You’ll be amused, even if the events are not meant to be laughable. Tonight: Let loose. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You energize early on, but as the day grows old, you might fall into a slower pace. Remember that you are not the Energizer Bunny. Use caution with your funds, especially in the afternoon. You could make a mistake with change. Tonight: Happy to be home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Though you have every intention of being clear when communicating, something gets mixed up in the translation. Your ideas might be a little far out for some people. You might need to guide them to your concept with baby steps. Tonight: Meet up with a pal.

(AP) — Terrelle Pryor’s rookie year in the NFL amounted to a false start. The former Ohio State star quarterback entered the league late through the supplemental draft, served a five-game suspension for infractions from college and then got on the field for only one aborted play for the Oakland Raiders last season. That’s why this offseason has been so crucial for Pryor, who is finally getting the professional coaching and practice time he sorely missed during his rookie year. “I didn’t know anything last year, nothing at all,” Pryor said. “I knew some of the stuff going into games and stuff like that but not like starting from Day 1 here right now when the new coaches came in. On the other hand, I came in last year at the end of camp and everything was already put in. I couldn’t ask the coach, the offensive coordinator. We didn’t even have a quarterbacks coach so I couldn’t even learn anything from that standpoint.” Pryor got very little out of a rookie season that was doomed from the start. He didn’t decide to leave Ohio State until after the NFL draft following an investigation into the team’s memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job. Commissioner Roger Goodell allowed Pryor into the supplemental draft but ruled he must serve the five-game suspension he would have faced in college. The Raiders used a third-round pick on Aug. 22 to select Pryor and signed him three days later, making him the final player every drafted by late owner Al Davis. Pryor said Davis would call him a couple of times a week before his death last October, reminding Pryor that he believed in him. While Pryor is currently battling Matt Leinart for the job backing up Carson Palmer, he hopes to one day prove Davis right. “The last pick may not mean anything,” he said. “But to me, you know, it kind of felt like last pick of a guy that made a legacy of football. He was just a well-known guy. Being the last pick, that’s special, just in that sense, just how his name is always brought up. He’s on HBO shows now after his death. It’s just an honor.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
