Mayor Mary McAngus told council members during Monday’s meeting that Mark Porter GM Supercenter did not go through with the bid to purchase the property. Porter’s bid of $20,250 was accepted by council in early December 2011. Porter was the lone bid- der on the nearly 100 year old structure during the second round of bidding in December. The first round of bids in July 2011 provided the village with zero bids. The council had asked for a minimum bid of $80,000 in the initial posting, with bids to be submitted by July 8. After no bids were originally submitted, the council posted the building again at the lower price of $60,000, with bids to be in by December 9. When accepting the bid, then mayor, John Musser, noted that it would likely cost around $40,000 to demolish the building. McAngus had signed the deed to the property in April in order to complete the sale of the property, but the sale was not completed. The building — which was built in 1914 — was home to the Pomeroy High School Panthers until the school consolidated into the Meigs Local School District 40 years ago. Following the consolidation, the building became the Pomeroy Municipal Building, housing the water office, police department and other administrative offices. The building has set vacant since the village moved operations in December 2009 to the former Millennium building. Council approved a lease agreement with Porter for the space currently used to park trucks from the dealership. The agreement is See SCHOOL ‌| 5 Pomeroy High School Charlene Hoeflich/file photo Local 4th of July events planned Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Dale Hamilton, Bureau of Workmen’s Compensation chief operating officer, left, and Jason Rafed, chief legal officer, right present a 30-year BWC service award to Frank A.

Ask Dr. Brothers Girlfriend adds fuel to fire Dear Dr. Brothers: My son is 15 and has found himself a girlfriend. She’s a year older, and runs with a more mature crowd. Our son is a good kid, so when he came home after school with a bloody nose, I was shocked. He said a kid picked a fight with him by saying something about his girlfriend. He wouldn’t tell me what it was or the boy’s name. I got very upset and told him he should break up with the girl, and he has been very quiet for the past two days. I don’t know what to do. — L.L. Dear L.L.: Your son is likely struggling with a number of issues that are brand-new. And since you spoke impulsively in an effort to protect your child, you need to be the grownup now and find a way to discuss the situation calmly. While your first instinct was to identify the girlfriend as the source of all the trouble, your son probably is wondering what to do about her friends and their attitude toward him. As you’ve both learned, teenage bullying can mean more than just a few taunts thrown from the school-bus window.

If his doctor has opening up to you again. a good bedside manner *** Dear Dr. Brothers: with kids, you might ask for an appointment just to talk and let your son ask questions about how he can live his life safely and without worry. You and your husband can set the tone by being calm and positive, even if you also are having difficulty being upbeat about the situation. Your son absolutely will take his cue from his parents, and if you seem worried sick, he will have a hard time losing his fear. Encourage your son to pursue his writing; perhaps he can write about sports for his school newspaper as he gets a little older. He also can become the go-to guy for sports photos if he’d enjoy that kind of thing. Let the parents of his friends know about his restrictions and that he needs his friends to stick with him through thick and thin. Be there for him and acknowledge his feelings when he is fearful, but calmly repeat his doctor’s assurances about the activities he can do without harm. With your help and support, his confidence should begin to grow. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Ohio man seeks new trial in septic tank body case LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — A man convicted of kill- Anderson’s ing his estranged wife, who was found strangled in a septic tank, is seeking a new trial in southeast Ohio. William Inman II was sentenced to life in prison without parole this month after a Hocking County jury in Logan found him guilty of aggravated murder and other charges in the slaying of his 25-year-old wife, Summer. Authorities said she was abducted in March 2011, then strangled with a zip tie and dumped in an underground septic tank in nearby Athens County. A motion filed Monday alleges prosecutors didn’t disclose information about a witness’ prior felony conviction, which could have cast doubt on the reliability of the witness. The county prosecutor wasn’t available to comment Wednesday. Inman’s parents also are charged in the case. Marcum Construction Why Not Mow with the Best Made In The USA?

This fractured fairy tale is a very funny show that the whole family will enjoy. Performances are presented by Theatre de Jeunesse, a local theatre arts program, with a cast of Mid-Ohio Valley young adults. Nominated for 3 Tony Awards for Best Actress, Best Musical, and Best Musical Revival, this favorite was the Broadway debut of Carol Burnett portraying Princess Winnifred, and the 1996 revival starred Sarah Jessica Parker. If you thought you knew the story of “The Princess and The Pea,” you may be in for a delightful surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Performance dates are Fridays and Saturdays July 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 8:00 p.m. with matinees at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday July 15 and July 22.

Ohio Statehouse to honor start of the War of 1812 COLUMBUS — During the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the War of 1812, the Ohio Statehouse and Columbus A cappella group, The Hardtackers will present a free lunch-time musical performance of sea shanties throughout the decades. The hour-long performance will take place at noon on Wednesday, July 11 on the West Plaza (High Street side) of the Ohio Statehouse. Visitors are encouraged to bring their lunch or purchase it from a food cart operated by Milo’s Catering and Banquet Services on Capitol Square. In addition, there are a number of downtown restaurants located on Capitol Square. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will take place in the Ohio Statehouse Atrium. The presentation is free and open to the public. The music will highlight the rhythms that coordinated the efforts of many sailors hauling on the lines during the War of 1812 and since. After the performance, visitors are encouraged to step into the Statehouse Rotunda and see the replica of the 15-star American flag that famously inspired the National Anthem. The flag flew on Veterans Plaza on June 18, 2012 marking the exact day that President Madison declared war on Great Britain in 1812. Also on view in the Statehouse Rotunda is the magnificent painting, Perry’s Victory, depicting the battle of Lake Erie. Perry’s Victory, depicts a key battle of the War of 1812, The Battle of Lake Erie, in which Oliver Hazard Perry led the American forces to victory over the British. Perry’s flagship, the Lawrence, had caught fire, and his crew suffered heavy casualties. The painting was the first piece of artwork commissioned by the state of Ohio for the new 1861 Statehouse. The survivors, including Perry, rowed to another American ship, the Niagara, and continued the battle, outmaneuvering the British. Oliver Hazard Perry, commanding the American fleet, met up with the British off the Bass Islands in Lake Erie and soundly defeated them. This action effectively gave control of the lake to the Americans, and led to General William Henry Harrisons’ invasion of Canada. Perry is famous for his statement after the final stages of the battle, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Ohio artist William Powell created the painting. But after completing it, Powell asked for three times the agreed-upon price, refusing to give up the painting. Instead, he exhibited the painting around the nation and received another commis- sion for a similar piece which now hangs in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Finally, the State of Ohio met Perry’s higher price, and the painting hangs in the Rotunda at the Ohio Statehouse. About the War of 1812 In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the young country’s future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy’s impressment of American seamen and America’s desire to expand its territory. President James Madison requested a declaration of war to protect American ships on the high seas and to stop the British from impressing or seizing U.S. sailors. U.S. ships were being stopped and searched by both Great Britain and France, who were fighting each other in Europe. American attempts to invade Canada during the war failed, but U.S. forces won a number of important naval battles. Americans saw the War of 1812 as a triumph that showed the new nation could fend off foreign threats. The United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of British, Canadian and Native American troops over the course of the War of 1812, including the capture and burning of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., in August 1814. Nonetheless, American troops were able to repulse British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, boosting national confidence and fostering a new spirit of patriotism. The ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on February 17, 1815, ended the war but left many of the most contentious questions unresolved. Nonetheless, many in the United States celebrated the War of 1812 as a “second war of independence,” beginning an era of partisan agreement and national pride.

Dave Diles Park $5.00/donation 60322516 House panel OKs bill expanding rewards program WASHINGTON (AP) — A House panel on Wednesday approved legislation that would expand the State Department’s rewards for justice program to target the world’s most serious human rights abusers, with African warlord Joseph Kony a top target. In a rare moment of bipartisanship, Democratic and Republican members of the Foreign Affairs Committee adopted a bill that would authorize operations for the State Department and speed up the process for U.S. arms sales overseas. The voice vote approval reflected the desire of both parties to complete such a broad-based State Department bill for the first time in a decade. The measure avoids the politically charged fights over U.S. aid to foreign nations and focuses on funds for the department, the Broadcasting Board of Governors and the Peace Corps. One provision that has widespread support, including the backing of the department, is expansion of the rewards program. The program, established in 1984, gives the secretary of state the authority to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone who plans, commits or attempts international terrorist acts. The amount of the reward would be at the secretary’s discretion. The bill would expand that authority to allow the State Department to publicize and pay rewards for information about individuals involved in transnational organized crime or foreign nationals wanted by any international criminal tribunal for war crimes or genocide. Kony and his ruthless guerrilla group, the Lord’s Resis- tance Army, are responsible for a 26-year campaign of terror in Central Africa that has been marked by child abductions and widespread killings. The United States designated the Lord’s Resistance Army a terrorist organization in 2001. Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for heinous attacks in multiple countries. Last year, President Barack Obama dispatched 100 U.S. troops — mostly Army Special Forces — to Central Africa to advise regional forces in their hunt for Kony, a military move that received strong bipartisan support. Calling Kony “the sadistic head of the LRA,” Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., said his capture is a top goal and U.S. military advisers consider a reward offer critical to their success. “They need this tool in the field now,” Royce said. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said it would help get Kony “brought to justice.” In nearly 30 years, the United States has paid more than $100 million to more than 70 people for information about terrorism. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., has introduced similar legislation in the Senate. Rep. Ilena Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairwoman of the House committee, said the approval of the bill strengthens the panel’s role in oversight of the department. Rep. Howard Berman of California, the panel’s senior Democrat, said that if the committee wants to be taken seriously, it must produce legislation that the full House can back. “The Red Carpet Treatment” Serving SE Ohio & Bend Area Since 1986 Marty O’Bryant Owner 1-888-992-7090 1-740-992-7090 www.redcarpettreatment.org 3 Rooms Sofa, Loveseat Each Additional & Chair Room $3000 Cleaned* Add Hall or Bath* Cleaned* $ 95 $ $ 1000 109 14900 * Call Today for Details STARTS 8PM FREE 60323210 Rhythm 2012 ON THE RIVER SUMMER MUSIC SERIES RIVERSIDE AMPHITHEATER June 29 The Athens Jazztet July 6 Johnny Rawls July 13 The Gas House Gorillas July 20 Clarence Spady August 3 Gizzae August 10 Grady Champion Middleport Community Association 1ST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH POMEROY — Three Eastern High School students will be presented their Eagle Scout award in a presentation to take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 5, at Trinity Church in Pomeroy.

The agreements underscored the pressures both parties face to avoid angering voters and embarrassing headlines in the run-up to this November’s presidential and congressional elections. Letting road-building programs grind to a halt during an economic downturn would be a blow to the image of lawmakers, while Democrats and Republicans alike seemed eager to avoid enraging millions of students and their parents by boosting the costs of college loans. Congressional leaders were hoping to combine the highway and student loan measures into a single bill to reduce potential procedural obstacles, and hope to vote final approval this week. Lawmakers would then leave Washington for a July 4 recess. The two-year highway bill would prevent the government’s authority to spend money on highways, bridges and transit systems from lapsing on Saturday, along with its ability to collect gasoline and diesel taxes. With both parties checkmating each other’s top priorities this campaign season, Democrats and Republicans say the highway measure will be Congress’ top job-creation initiative until the November elections. Sen. Barbara Boxer, DCalif., chief Senate sponsor of the transportation bill, said the measure would save or create 3 million jobs. As the price for the highway agreement, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., said Republicans dropped a House-approved provision requiring the government to approve the proposed Keystone pipeline, which is to move oil from western Canada to Texas’ Gulf Coast. Pipeline approval — which prompted a veto threat from President Barack Obama — has been a top goal this election year for the GOP, which has pitted its claims that it would create jobs against environmental worries that it could accelerate global warming and endanger Midwestern water supplies. Republicans also agreed to abandon language blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating the toxic ash generated by coalfired power plants, Inhofe said. The ash is used as an ingredient in some types of cement. In return, House Republicans won Senate concessions that would halve the time allowed for environmental reviews for highway projects, and squeeze money for bike paths and pedestrian safety projects by forcing them to compete with other transportation projects, Senate aides and environmentalists said. The bill would give states more flexibility in spending federal money, impose new safety regulations and expand a federal loan guarantee program to encourage private investments in transportation projects. Despite the measure’s shortterm impact, the bill delays for two years decisions about a long-term funding scheme for highway and transit programs. Gas and diesel taxes no longer cover the cost of transportation programs and are forecast to bring in less revenue as the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks increases. President Barack Obama spent weeks this spring touring college campuses and lambasting Republicans for not pushing a freeze on student loan rates through Congress. GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, looking to avoid handing Obama an issue, quickly said he favored the interest rate extension and congressional GOP leaders did too, though some Republicans think the government should not spend money to keep loan rates low. The student loan pact would keep today’s 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans from doubling for new loans approved beginning on Sunday, an automatic in- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

If they did double, it would affect 7.4 million students expected to get the loans over the 12 months beginning July 1, adding $1,000 to the interest costs of the typical borrower over each loan’s life. The tentative agreement was on the same package Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had said Tuesday that they had shaken hands on, said a congressional Republican who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the measure’s status. McConnell said he expected the House to accept the agreement. “We’re moving, I think, towards an agreement on a transportation bill that would also include a one-year fix on the student loan rate increase,” Boehner told reporters early Wednesday after meeting privately with House Republicans. Some GOP lawmakers at that meeting said Boehner seemed to favor the emerging deal and said it received a positive reception. “The general sense is there’s a tremendous amount of support for getting it done,” said Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y. “That’s what’s going to drive it across the finish line.” The two parties spent the last several weeks dueling over how to pay for the $6 billion cost of the student loan bill. Under the agreement, the government would raise $5 billion by changing how companies calculate the money they have to set aside for pensions. That change would make their contributions more consistent from year to year and in effect reduce their payments initially, lowering the tax deductions they receive for their pension contributions. Another $500 million would come from increasing the fees companies pay for the government to insure their pension plans, linking those fees to inflation. In addition, $1.2 billion would be saved by limiting federal subsidies of Stafford loans to six years for undergraduates. AP Health Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration has approved Arena Pharmaceutical’s antiobesity pill Belviq, the first new prescription drug for long-term weight loss to enter the U.S. market in over a decade. Despite only achieving modest weight loss in clinical studies, the drug appeared safe enough to win the FDA’s endorsement, amid calls from doctors for new weight-loss treatments. The agency cleared the pill Wednesday for adults who are obese or are overweight with at least one medical complication, such as diabetes or high cholesterol. The FDA denied approval for Arena’s drug in 2010 after scientists raised concerns about tumors that developed in animals studied with the drug. The company resubmitted the drug with additional data earlier this year, and the FDA said there was little risk of tumors in humans. “The approval of this drug, used responsibly in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle, provides a treatment option for Americans who are obese or are overweight and have at least one weight-related comorbid condition,” said FDA’s drug center director, Dr. Janet Woodcock, in a statement. Arena and its partner Eisai Inc. of Woodcliff Lake, N.J., expect to launch the drug in early 2013. With U.S. obesity rates nearing 35 percent of the adult population, many doctors have called on the FDA to approve new weight loss treatments. But a long line of prescription weight loss offerings have been associated with safety problems, most notably the fen-phen combination, which was linked to heart valve damage in 1997. The cocktail of phentermine and fenfluramine was a popular weight loss combination prescribed by doctors, though it was never approved by FDA. In a rare move, the FDA explicitly stated in a press 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. release that Belviq “does not appear to activate” a chemical pathway that was linked to the heart problems seen with fen-phen. The FDA said the drug acts on a different chemical pathway in the brain, which is believed to reduce appetite by boosting feelings of satiety and fullness. Obesity Society President Patrick O’Neil said he’s encouraged by the drug’s approval because it underscores the idea that lifestyle changes alone are not enough to treat obesity. “This is good news because it tells us that the FDA is indeed treating obesity seriously. On the other hand, it’s not the answer to the problem — or even a big part of the answer,” said O’Neil, who teaches at Medical University of South Carolina and was the lead researcher on several studies of Belviq. Even if the effects of Belviq are subtle, experts say it could be an important first step in a new line of treatments that attack the underlying causes of obesity. “The way these things tend to work is you have some people who do extremely well and other people don’t lose any weight at all. But if we had 10 medicines that were all different and worked like this, we would have a real field,” said Dr. Louis Aronne, director of the weight loss program at Weill-Cornell Medical College. Belviq is one of three experimental weight-loss drugs whose developers have been trying for a second time to win approval, after the FDA shot them all down in 2010 or early 2011 because of serious potential side effects. Vivus Inc.’s Qnexa is thought to be the most promising of the drugs, achieving the most weight loss. But the FDA has delayed a decision on that pill until July. Shares of San Diegobased Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. jumped $2.54, or 28.7 percent, to close at $11.39. Shares of Mountain View, Calif.-based Vivus rose $1.94, or 7.4 percent, to $28.33. Arena’s studies showed that patients taking Belviq, known generically as lorcaserin, had modest weight loss. On average patients lost just 3 to 3.7 percent of their starting body weight over a year. About 47 percent of patients without diabetes lost at least 5 percent of their weight or more, which was enough to meet FDA standards for effectiveness. By comparison, average weight loss with Qnexa is 11 percent, with more than 83 percent of patients losing 5 percent of their weight or more. The FDA said patients should stop taking Belviq after three months if they fail to lose 5 percent of their body weight. Patients are unlikely to see any significant weight loss by staying with the drug. Side effects with the drug include depression, migraine and memory lapses. In May a panel of expert advisers to the FDA voted 18-4 to recommend approval of Arena’s drug, concluding that its benefits “outweigh the potential risks when used long term” in overweight and obese people. Experts say the challenge of weight loss drug development lies in safely turning off one of the body’s fundamental directives: to eat enough food to maintain its current weight. While several drugs are available for short-term weight loss, until Wednesday there was only one FDAapproved prescription drug for long-term weight loss: Xenical from Roche, which is seldom prescribed because of unpleasant digestive side effects and modest weight loss. Belviq is the first new prescription drug approved to treat obesity since Xenical’s approval 13 years ago. Other safety failures for diet pills have continued to pile up in recent years. Four years ago SanofiAventis SA discontinued studies of its highly anticipated pill Acomplia due to psychiatric side effects, including depression and suicidal thoughts. In 2010, Abbott Laboratories withdrew its drug Meridia after a study showed it increased heart attack and stroke.

If completed, the compromises would resolve two vexing issues on which lawmakers face weekend deadlines for action. Boehner, R-Ohio, made his remarks a day after the Senate’s Democratic and Republican leaders said they’d reached a deal to prevent interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans from doubling to 6.8 percent, beginning this Sunday. Their bipartisan agreement — which the White House backed — put pressure on Boehner to accept the deal, which if enacted would avoid antagonizing millions of students and their parents in an election year. Separately, the government’s authority to spend money on highways, bridges and transit systems expires Saturday, as does its ability to levy gasoline and diesel taxes. Bargainers have been working for months in search of compromise on that measure, but have been stymied by disputes over environmental reviews of highway projects, the proposed Keystone oil pipeline from Canada to Texas and other issues. “We’re moving, I think, towards an agreement on a transportation bill that would also include a oneyear fix on the student loan rate increase,” Boehner told reporters after meeting behind closed doors with House Republicans. Without action by Congress, interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans would double from their current 3.4 percent for 7.4 million students expected to receive such loans in the year beginning July 1. The loans, used by lower- and middle-income students, are usually paid off over more than a decade, and the higher rates would cost the typical student around $1,000 over the course of the loan. President Barack Obama high- lighted the student loan issue during visits to college campuses this spring amid a campaign year in which the struggles of many families to cope with the limp economy has been a defining issue. Hoping to prevent him from using the dispute in the fall campaign, GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney said in April that he backed an extension of the lower rates. GOP congressional leaders said the same. In recent weeks, the key dispute has been over how to pay the student loan bill’s $6 billion price tag. Under the agreement, the government would raise $5 billion by changing the way companies calculate the money they have to set aside for pensions. That change would make their contributions more consistent from year to year, in effect reducing their payments initially and lowering the tax deductions they receive for their pension contributions. Another $500 million would come from increasing the fees School From Page 1 for the amount of $300 per month.

The Milwaukee Brewers felt they had to win this game. After dropping four in a row and falling 8 1/2 games out, the defending NL Central champions were feeling the pressure on Wednesday. They got two-run homers from Rickie Weeks and Cody Ransom that set up an 8-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and eased their angst. “We needed it,” manager Ron Roenicke said. They had the right guy on the mound to get it. Zack Greinke (9-2) remained unbeaten against the Reds, allowing two runs in six innings. Greinke improved to 4-0 in six career starts against first-place Cincinnati, which now leads the Brewers by 7 1/2 games. “We’ve been playing good all month, just not really putting any streaks together,” Greinke said. “We Cavs weighing all options on eve of NBA draft CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James wasn’t given much help via the NBA draft when he played for the Cavaliers. Kyrie Irving won’t have the same problem. With the No. 4 overall pick, another in the first round (No. 24) and two in the second round (No. 33 and 34), the Cavs are armed with assets to get at least one quality player and maybe more to support Irving, the talented point guard and reigning rookie of the year who proved to be the perfect choice for Cleveland. Taking Irving last June was an easy decision for the team. This year, the choice isn’t so simple. The Cavs, who found should be winning more games than we are. “We’re a little bit out, but we’ve got a lot of talent on this team. If we get on a little roll, things can change.” Bailey (5-6) has had nothing but trouble against Milwaukee, falling to 0-5 in 10 games with a 6.50 ERA. He left after failing to get an out in the fifth inning, trailing 5-2. The Brewers came to town hoping to take at least two of three and get back in the race. A slumping offense held them back the first two games. They didn’t even manage a hit until the eighth inning of a 4-3 loss on Tuesday night. Milwaukee broke out with 11 hits on Wednesday, including two doubles, a triple and two homers. “One thing the Brewers have always been able to do is hit the ball out of the ballpark,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “If you don’t make quality pitches, they’ll reach the fences.” The Brewers wasted a bases-loaded, none-out chance to break the game open in the seventh inning, failing to score. Milwaukee put it away with three in the ninth off Jose Arredondo, who walked Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart with the bases loaded. Weeks hit a two-run homer in the second off Bailey, who snapped his glove toward the ground in anger as soon as the ball left the bat. Center fielder Chris Heisey jumped for the ball at the wall, but couldn’t quite reach it. Weeks’ first homer since May 26 left him 11 of 20 career off Bailey with a pair of homers. It also made it 65 consecutive games at Great American Ball Park with at least one homer, the longest such streak since an 80game stretch at Coors Field in 2002-03.

The Rose system — and it still won’t Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., is guaranteed a spot, and the to-be-determined site of the newly formed bowl created by the SEC and Big 12 is likely to be another, Slive said. The other current BCS bowls — the Orange, Sugar and Fiesta — are not yet guaranteed spots in the rotation, but will get first crack at bidding for them. The Cotton Bowl, played at the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has long wanted to be part of the BCS and will no doubt push to be a part of the rotation, possibly as host to the Big 12-SEC game. The winners of the semis will advance to the championship on the first Monday in January that is six or more days after the last semifinal. The first “Championship Monday” is set for Jan. 12, 2015. The site of the title game will move around the way the Super Bowl does, with cities bidding for the right to host. The teams will be selected by a committee, similar to the way the NCAA basketball tournament field is set. The men’s tournament has 68 teams, and 37 at-large bids. The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. This season, 125 schools will play at the highest level of college football. Among the factors the committee will consider is won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion. The selection committee will also play a part in creating matchups for games at the four sites that do not hold a semifinal in a given year. “I think it’s tremendous progress,” said Washington State coach Mike Leach, a playoff proponent. “Five years ago there wasn’t even dialogue about a playoff. Instead of diving in the water, they dipped their toes in. I think it’s’ going to be ridiculously exciting and it’s going to generate a bunch of money. I wish they dived in.” Leach predicted that the playoff field would eventually grow. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, on the other hand, was happy to keep it small, and wants it to stay that way. “I may be in the minority. I think we had a pretty good thing going,” he said. “If it stays at four I think it will be fine. Think it will be pretty exciting.” No one has put a hard number on it yet, but this new format figures to more than double the TV revenue of the current BCS and Rose Bowl contracts. Those pay out about $155 million annually. The commissioners want to lock in this format for 12 years with a television partner. The current BCS deal with ESPN runs through the 2013 season. The new format will be presented to potential TV partners in the fall, starting with ESPN. There are still some details to work out, such as who will be on the committee and how exactly the money will be distributed among the conferences. But everybody in charge is on board. While lower divisions of college football already have a playoff, the highest level has for decades used bowls and polls to determine its champion. Those days are coming to an end. “A milestone that’s good for college football,” Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford called it. And a long time coming. �Thursday, June 28, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com Legals Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Bids for Paving Eastern Local School District, 50008 State Route 681, Reedsville, Ohio 45772 is accepting bids for asphalt pavement of the high school parking lot.

From Page 6 Nos. 2 and 3 picks before the Cavs are on the clock. Cleveland’s most pressing need is a scorer to complement Irving, and the club is believed to be enamored with Florida shooting guard Bradley Beal. The Cavs have discussed dealing their top two picks in a trade with the Bobcats, who acquired guard Ben Gordon in a deal on Tuesday from Detroit. Gordon’s arrival would seem to mean the Bobcats will look to add size with their first pick and perhaps take Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson. That would leave the Wizards as the only team standing in the Cavs’ way of getting Beal, whose stock has risen more than any other player. He worked out for the Cavs — at the same time as Barnes — and the club loved Beal’s sweet outside stroke, athleticism and scorer’s mentality. ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas feels that if the Cavs are intent on landing Beal they should do whatever it takes to jump two spots and get him. “I wouldn’t hesitate,” Bilas said during a conference call this week. “I think he’s the second-best prospect in this draft behind Anthony Davis. How could you not need a guard who’s got that kind of ability? I think he’s terrific. He’d be a great backcourt mate for Ky- rie Irving. If Cleveland moved up to No. 2 that would be a terrific combo.” Barnes isn’t a bad fallback plan. At 6-foot-8, he has size, strength and can score. The Cavs probably would have taken Barnes last season had he left school earlier. This could be their chance to fill the massive hole at small forward left by James’ departure. Barnes is also tight with Irving and the two share the same agent, Jeff Wechsler. Kidd-Gilchrist, too, has connections to Irving. They played together in high school and always talked about the possibility of doing it as pros. “I would love to play with Kyrie, but if not, oh well,” said Kidd-Gilchrist, whose only major flaw appears to be an awkward shot. Beal measured at just under 6-foot-5 at the combine, allaying fears he was too small to defend some of the league’s rangier shooting guards. “I have confidence in myself to be able to do that,” he said at the combine. “I know there may be times where I’m going to struggle, but I know I’m going to get bigger and stronger so I can use some of my quickness and ability on them as well to create an advantage for myself.” Irving and Beal would give the Cavs one of the league’s most exciting young backcourts, and two major building blocks for the future. James didn’t have it so good. After he was named rookie of the year in 2003, the Cavs selected forward Luke Jackson with the No. 10 pick in 2005. He was a bust. Cleveland didn’t have any draft picks in 2005 or 2007. The club’s first-round pick in 2006 was guard Shannon Brown (No. 25), in 2008 it was forward J.J. Hickson (No. 19) and in 2009 the Cavs selected swingman Christian Eyenga (No. 30). None of those players are still with the team, and only guard Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, a second-round pick in 2006, remains of the seven players chosen during James’ tenure. The Cavs have remained ultra-secretive in the weeks and days leading up to what could be one of the most important drafts in franchise history. The team did not announce which players it had in for private workouts, and unlike most of his peers, general manager Chris Grant did not hold a pre-draft news conference, adding a another layer of mystery to the team’s plans. It’s possible Grant could be planning a surprise. He pulled off a mild one in last year’s draft, selecting forward Tristan Thompson with the No. 4 pick — much higher than most experts believed he would be taken. a fan as he reached into the right field stands to try to catch a foul ball in the ninth inning. The fan reached for the ball and grabbed Morgan’s glove. The outfielder yanked it away, and the fan yelled something at Morgan, who waved as he went back to his position. “Our hands just got tangled up,” Morgan said. “One of those things. I gave him a little ‘get-off-me.’ He was doing his part of being a fan and trying to help his team out.” Greinke allowed five hits and a pair of runs in six innings, including Ryan Ludwick’s solo homer. Greinke is 4-0 in his last six starts overall, allowing a total of only eight runs. Ludwick had another solo shot in the ninth off Livan Hernandez, his second multihomer game of the season. Reds Gold Glove second baseman Brandon Phillips got hit in the face by Ramirez’s arm while tagging him out on a steal attempt in the third. Phillips was a little dizzy and left the game three innings later as a precaution. NOTES: The Reds head into the All-Star break with an 11-game trip to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. … Stubbs and 3B Scott Rolen were out of the Reds’ starting lineup, getting some rest. … Reds rookie SS Zack Cozart singled in the eighth, snapping an 0-for-19 slump. Brewers From Page 6 homer in the fourth for a 5-1 lead. Since the Brewers claimed him off waivers from Arizona on May 23, he’d been batting only .152 with one other homer. The Brewers loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh, but Norichika Aoki struck out and Ransom was caught in a rundown off a failed suicide squeeze attempt with Nyjer Morgan, who got ready to bunt but pulled the bat back when the pitch was low. Morgan then popped out. “He should have tried to bunt at it,” Roenicke said. “We did some interesting things today.” Morgan got tangled with Mechanics Medical Medical Manufactured Homes Heavy Equipment Mechanic Night Shift Competitive wages, Good benefits.

Like a true Cancer, you will be concerned with home and family. If you are single, you could leap from one romance to another. Be aware that someone will appear close to your next birthday who might be near-perfect. Do not commit before then, if possible. If you are attached, as a couple you could buy a house, spruce up your present abode, add a new addition and/or schedule a second honeymoon. Much that is going on is related to 11 years ago. This year, you are like a cat with nine lives. SCORPIO can be extraordinarily seductive. 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 Do not allow a momentary discontent, fatigue or low-level depression to get to you. Understand what is going on with others. Interpersonal relating later today reveals that your mood had more to do with you than with the situation. Tonight: Go for togetherness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH The time has come to do what you have been postponing. The sense of liberation you’ll feel from this task’s completion is well worth it. Suddenly, you feel inspired and in touch with your environment. Confusion surrounds a problem. Tonight: Just don’t go out alone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Toss your hat in the ring. Brainstorm and see what is behind someone’s motivation. Your creativity emerges when dealing with others and in any discussion. Express an idea that you potentially wanted to follow through on. Tonight: Understand that you need to slow down a little. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You come from a grounded point of view. Could some people see this perspective as boring? If so, throw out some more wild and creative ideas. You’ll inspire others in this manner. Concern surrounds a child or loved one. Tonight: Keep tapping into your imagination. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to understand where someone is coming from before you have a heart-to-heart talk with this person. Do not get yourself caught in a situation that makes you feel pressured. Avoid a power play at all costs. You have the ability to accomplish a lot. Tonight: All smiles — once you relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be more intense than you realize. If you note several unusual responses, consider that it is likely you are acting differently. This type of intensity is not easily contained, and can bring unexpected results. Let the moment continue. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be more in tune with people in the morning. Others expect a lot out of you. Be aware of their neediness, and recognize what is happening within your immediate circle. You need to take care of yourself first — and the sooner, the better. Tonight: As you like. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH As the day grows older, you feel more empowered. Be spontaneous and less reserved. Others like what is happening and will communicate more easily as a result. Do not let others stop you from fulfilling your destiny. Tonight: Do not underestimate your charisma. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be taken aback by someone else’s response, especially in the evening. You do not want to fight city hall. You would rather have everything happen with ease. An older person or someone you look up to can inspire you to find answers. Tonight: Not to be found. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You remain mellow despite others’ tumultuous moments, because you know you are heading down the right path. Your close friends and key associates seem to inspire you. Remain strong and centered. Tonight: Where the gang is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Once more, others believe you have all the answers. Do not worry; instead, simply explain that you do not always have solutions. An inspired idea comes out of the blue during a conversation. Tonight: Express your very caring nature. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Take a break or walk away from what is, or could become, a volatile situation. You do not need to explain yourself. When you return, it will be with a big smile and a readiness to stay open. Your attitude breaks a stalemate. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Associated Press A committee of university presidents approved a plan for a four-team college football playoff, starting in 2014. Here’s what you need to know about the new postseason format put together by the commissioners of the 11 major college football conferences and Notre Dame’s athletic director. HOW WILL THE TEAMS BE CHOSEN? A selection committee will pick the four teams, using guidelines such as strength of schedule, head-to-head results and won-loss record, after the regular season. The committee will give preference to conference champions. The makeup of the committee is to be determined, but it will likely be about 20 conference commissioners and college athletic directors. WHERE WILL THE GAMES BE PLAYED? The two semifinals will ro- tate among six sites. The current BCS games are the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, Calif.), Sugar Bowl (New Orleans), Fiesta Bowl (Glendale, Ariz.) and Orange Bowl (Miami). The Cotton Bowl, now played at the state-of-the-art Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has to be considered a front-runner to land one of the other two spots. Candidates for the other one? Try Atlanta and Jacksonville, Fla. The championship game will become college football’s Super Bowl. Any city can bid on it, even ones that host the semifinals and those that have not been traditional bowl sites. Expect most to be played in dome stadiums or warm weather sites. WHEN WILL THE GAMES BE PLAYED? The semifinals will be played on Dec. 31 and/or Jan. 1. College football used to own New Year’s Day. The Bowl Championship Series got away from that. The leaders of the sport want to reclaim that day. The championship game will always be played on the first Monday that is at least six days after the semifinals. The first “Championship Monday” is Jan. 12, 2015. WILL THIS PUT AN END TO THE CONTROVERSY? No. Doubling the field from two teams to four alleviates some of the problems that the Bowl Championship Series couldn’t solve. There will still be plenty of complaining, but it will come from teams No. 5, 6 and 7, instead of Nos. 3 and 4. That’s better. The farther down you go in the rankings, the weaker the arguments get for inclusion. But there are plenty of people out there now that believe four is not nearly enough. HOW MUCH? Conservative estimates have the television right to the new playoff system being worth at least double what the BCS was worth. That means $300 million easy, probably more like $400 or $500. How it gets 740-992-5141 • 740-992-5444 • 740-949-2300 Reds skipper Baker tells Chapman: No more rolling CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds manager Dusty Baker has made sure that closer Aroldis Chapman won’t be doing any more somersaults after finishing a game. Chapman did a pair of forward rolls after striking out Martin Maldonado to complete a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Chapman has been struggling lately, and celebrated his ninth save with somersaults toward home plate. Baker has made sure that Chapman knows he was out of line. “It’s been addressed already and it’s over,” Baker said on Wednesday, before an afternoon game against the Brewers. “It won’t happen again — ever. I know he’s happy and things have been going poorly for him, but he’s got to demonstrate in a different way.” Chapman, who speaks through a translator, declined to discuss it. The Brewers were surprised to see Chapman’s forward rolls, but Baker doesn’t expect retaliation. He played three years with Brewers manager Ron Roenicke on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Asked if he would tell Roenicke that he’s handled the matter, Baker said, “I think that’s between us and the Brewers, know what I mean? You know, Ron was my teammate. He knows me. He knows me very well. He knows how I am. He knows how I do things. “Next subject.” divided among the conferChapman’s had an eventences is still to be finalful first half of the season. ized, though criteria has been set up: — On-field success — Teams’ expenses — Marketplace factors — Academic performance of student-athletes In short the five power conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC and Pac12) will get more than the others.

Russo The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 The hard-throwing Cuban was getting ready for the rotation during spring training when injuries wiped out the back end of the bullpen. With closer Ryan Madson and set-up men Bill Bray and Nick Masset hurt, Baker moved Chapman back into a set-up role. Chapman pitched so well — no earned runs allowed in his first 24 appearances, a club record — that he moved into the closer’s role. The left-hander has struggled in the last two weeks. He had given up game-losing homers against Cleveland then Minnesota in consecutive outings before his save on Tuesday night. There have been several off-field problems as well. Chapman was arrested for speeding — going 93 mph on an interstate — and driving with a suspended license in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, in the early hours of May 21. During a series in Pittsburgh a week later, an exotic dancer claimed she was tied up by an unknown assailant in Chapman’s hotel room and robbed of $6,000 in jewelry while the pitcher was away. She has been charged with filing a false police report. Police said some of Chapman’s items were stolen from the room. Also, Chapman has been sued for $18 million by a Cuban-American who claims that before the pitcher defected from Cuba, he made false statements that resulted in the man being imprisoned. Bobcats like No. 2, but will listen to all offers first-round pick gives the Bobcats a valuable asset down the road and Gordon gives the team a legitimate outside shooter following a season in which Charlotte finished last in the league in 3-point shooting (29.5 percent). Gordon is 12th among active NBA players in career 3-point shooting percentage at 40.6 percent. Higgins said he spoke to Gordon after the deal was completed and he was “very excited” about coming to Charlotte. “He wants to come in and help us win games,” Higgins said. The Gordon trade is the first step in a major roster overhaul the next two years. The Michael Jordanowned Bobcats finished with the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history this past season and the pressure is on to make good decisions after a variety of poor trades and draft picks in recent years that have left fans disgruntled. The decision to draft Gonzaga star Adam Morrison with the third overall pick in 2006 proved to be a disaster and trading for Tyrus Thomas hasn’t panned out either. The Bobcats look to change that tide this year. 60329503 Thursday, June 28, 2012 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
