Turning mini-park into many park BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — This week Pomeroy Village Council voted to enter into a long-term lease agreement involving the Court Street mini-park. The park is owned by the estate of the late Jim O’Brien, according to Mayor John Musser. Musser told council he’d been in contact with a member of the family about signing a lease agreement which would allow the village to make improvements at the park using $10,000 in money from the estate. In return, the village would take over paying the real estate taxes on the property and erect two plaques, one at each entrance to the park, in memory of Jim and Roberta O’Brien. Musser said improvements would likely be adding a 100-amp electrical box and possibly a bandstand. The lease price would be for $1 a year. Also at this week’s meeting, council opened sealed bids for the mowing of Beech Grove Cemetery. Bids were received from Terry Congo for $1,000 per mow for a minimum of 13 mows which is the same price as last season, See Park, A5 IKES hunting and fishing day a big hit with kids BY JIM FREEMAN SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT High: 65 Low: 40 INDEX 1 SECTION — 10 PAGES Classifieds Comics Editorials Sports 7-8 6 4 9-10 © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The events marked the 150th anniversary of the Confederate bombardment of Union-held Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, an engagement that plunged the nation into four years of war at a cost of more than 600,000 lives. Several hundred people gathered on Charleston’s Battery in the pre-dawn darkness, much as Charleston residents gathered 150 years ago to view the bombardment of April 12, 1861. About 4 a.m., a single beam of light reached skyward from the stone works of Fort Sumter. About a half hour later, about the time the first shots were fired, a second beam glowed, signifying a nation torn in two. Nearby, a brass ensemble played a concert entitled “When Jesus Wept” as hundreds listened, some in folding chairs, others standing. Fifty years ago during the centennial of the Civil War, there was a celebratory mood. But on Tuesday, the 150th anniversary events were muted. Even the applause seemed subdued. Of about 1,200 people attending two main commemorative events, only a handful were black. One man whose Confederate ancestor is credited with firing the first shot of the war acknowledged his family legacy as a “mixed blessing.” “I think it signifies the mood of the nation. I think we’re much more sensitive to other people and the diversity in this country,” said Linda Marshall, a 58-year-old registered nurse from Charleston as she waited for the second beam of light as dawn creeped up. A little over two hours later, as a red sun rose on James Island across the harbor, Confederate reenactors fired an authentic 1847 seacoast mortar, signaling about 30 other cannons ringing the harbor. Those cannons quickly thumped and smoke rose in a re-enactment of the Sumter bombardment. In a dispatch to The Associated Press in 1861, an unnamed correspondent observed the fort’s parapets crumbling under the pounding of artillery. He wrote of gun emplacements being “shot away” and shells falling “thick and fast.” “The ball has opened. War is inaugurated ... Fort Sumter has returned the fire and brisk cannonading has been kept up,” the dispatch said. Sumter fell after a 34hour bombardment. One of those on hand on James Island was John Hugh Farley of Roswell, Ga. Many historians credit Farley’s ancestor, Lt. Henry Farley, as firing the first shot at Sumter. “It’s a real big honor. We are very proud of our family,” said Farley, who had two other ancestors fight for the South. “It certainly is a mixed blessing because it’s bringing back a memory from way back but it also helps us to look at history and learn from history.” Later in the morning, Danny Lucas, 53 and black, was walking out after visiting Charleston’s Old Slave Mart Museum, where the history of Charleston’s role as an urban slave trading center is recounted. “I have no problem with the Civil War being honored as long as it is inclusive,” said Lucas, a Ridgeland, S.C. resident. “I don’t think whites should be so defensive and I don’t think blacks should feel they are unwelcome to these kinds of things. I think it will fade over time.” Lucas does think last December’s secession ball in Charleston, during which South Carolina’s leaving the Union was commemorated, may have soured some blacks on the 150th events. “The secession ball discouraged them because in their minds, they saw the ball as a celebration,” he said. With other events they may decide “I’m not going to go because there will be a whole lot of rebel yelling and carrying on.” “In this moment of remembrance, let us all do the tough truth telling necessary for our nation to finally heal from the sins of slavery and fratricide,” said Benjamin Todd Jealous, the president and chief executive officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a statement released by the civil rights group. “Commemorative events must neither ignore slavery as the principal cause of the Civil War, nor romanticize those who fought to keep African Americans in slavery,” he said. “This is a time for the nation to reflect and repent, not ignore — let alone celebrate — the atrocities that tore our country apart.” State Sen. Glenn McConnell, president pro tempore of the South Carolina Senate and a Civil War re-enactor, told the audience of about 700 on James Island that the effects of the war are still being felt. “The War Between the States triggered generations of disputes and controversies between regions, races and cultures,” he said. “Why was the war fought? Was it about slav- ery or states’ rights? What does the Confederate battle flag stand for? Is it a symbol of bigotry or a memorial to the valor of fallen soldiers,” he asked about 700 people gathered at a ceremony commemorating the first shots of the war. “Many of the emotional issues still rage.” He said the South has moved on and “the time has come to move beyond the petty disputes of the past.” Later a black Union reenactor representing a soldier from the 54th Massachusetts, the company of black troops that fought at Battery Wagner on Charleston Harbor in 1863 in an attack memorialized in the movie “Glory,” threw a wreath into the water and saluted. Then seven re-enactors in Confederate gray fired a 21-gun salute in memory of all who died on South Carolina soil. Two buglers then echoed “Taps.” As the event broke up, a small group of Confederate re-enactors in the back of the crowd took up singing “Dixie,” although only a handful joined them and not very enthusiastically. Ohio executes man who killed inmate after TV spat BY JOANNE VIVIANO ASSOCIATED PRESS LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Ohio executed a twotime murderer Tuesday for beating and stomping to death a fellow jail inmate days after the two had argued over what to watch on television. Clarence Carter, 49, died at 10:25 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility. He was the second inmate in the nation killed using the surgical sedative pentobarbital as a stand-alone execution drug. Carter, who was waiting to be sentenced for another aggravated murder when he attacked Johnny Allen Jr. in 1988, looked to see if any Allen family members were present to witness his execution. Seeing none, he went ahead with an apology. “I’d like to say I’m sorry for what I did, especially to his mother. I ask God for forgiveness and them for forgiveness,” he said. He smiled and nodded at his brother, who was watching from a room separated from the execution chamber by a window, and appeared to pray as the lethal injection began. After several deep breaths, his eyes closed. He fell still about a minute into the procedure. Allen’s mother, Helen L. Bonner, did not attend but released a statement saying she has no animosity against Carter and has forgiven him. “But my forgiveness of him will never ease the pain of the loss of my son,” she wrote. Allen died two weeks after the December 1988 beating in the Hamilton County jail in Cincinnati. Investigators said Carter punched, choked, kicked and stomped on Allen for a half-hour, intermittently stopping to mop blood from his sneakers. Witnesses said Carter had punched Allen in the eye earlier in the month when one of the men changed a TV channel. Allen was being held on a theft charge. Carter was in the jail waiting to be sentenced for aggravated murder in the death of Michael Hadnot. Carter told the Ohio Parole Board in February that Hadnot was a fellow drug trafficker he killed over the theft of drugs, money and incriminating documents from an operation in which both were involved. Allen’s sister, Crystal Miller, said she and her mother didn’t attend the execution because Bonner “couldn’t do it, it was just too much. “She is still feeling so many emotions, and she didn’t want me to have that scene in my mind for the rest of my life,” she told The Associated Press by phone Tuesday after- noon. Miller, who was 23 years old when her brother died, said the family believed Carter’s sentence should be carried out. She said she was at her Cincinnati home while he was being put to death “soul searching and watching the clock and waiting for that call when it’s going to be over.” Carter had been calm and in good spirits Monday, meeting with two imams, laughing during visits with his brother and lawyers and at one point saying, “doing good, happy and I’m a smiling,” said prisons department spokesman Carlo LoParo. Just ahead of the lethal injection, Carter knelt and put his head to the ground in prayer. Witnessing the execution on his behalf were Carter’s brother, Lamarck Carter, and an attorney. They clasped hands after the execution, and Carter smiled. Only two media representatives witnessed the execution: a reporter from The Associated Press and one from The Columbus Dispatch representing the Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association. Larry Greene, a prison spokesman, said it was the fewest number of media to witness an execution since the state resumed executions in 1999. Despite the low media attendance, each execution is a “significant event,” Ohio prisons department Director Gary Mohr said. LoParo said about five protesters gathered outside the prison, where there was a steady downpour of cold rain. Carter’s lawyers argued against the execution, claiming Allen’s killing was not premeditated, that Allen was a former U.S. Army soldier who likely instigated the fight and that the inmates used as witnesses were unreliable. They said Carter is borderline mentally disabled and that his upbringing was marked by violent role models, including a stepfather who beat him when he stuttered and a cousin who paid him 50 cents to fight other children. Gov. John Kasich denied clemency last week, based on a unanimous recommendation of the parole board. Carter had been scheduled for execution in 2007, but was spared by a lawsuit pending at the time that challenged lethal injection. That year, the parole board had voted 6-3 against clemency, with those dissenting saying they were troubled by what appeared to be contradictory or inaccurate testimony by inmate witnesses. Carter was the third Ohio inmate executed this year, and the 44th since 1999. BY SEBASTIAN ABBOT ASSOCIATED PRESS AJDABIYA, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s forces fired rockets along the eastern front line and shelled the besieged city of Misrata Tuesday as France and Britain urged their NATO allies, including the United States, to intensify the campaign against the Libyan regime. But hopes for a rebel military victory have faded and diplomatic efforts to find a solution were picking up momentum. On Wednesday, diplomats will meet in the tiny Gulf nation of Qatar for a meeting of the Libya contact group, which aims to coordinate an international response to the conflict. On Monday, African leaders tried to broker a cease-fire but were immediately shot down when the opposition insisted that Gadhafi give up power immediately. The Libyan rebels have proven to be far weaker and outnumbered by Gadhafi’s forces and without NATO airstrikes, they could face a crushing military defeat. So any realistic rebel hopes of unseating Gadhafi now rest firmly on international political pressure com- bined with sustained NATO airstrikes. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said NATO was not doing enough to ease the pressure on Misrata. He also said the alliance should be firing on the weapons being used by Gadhafi’s troops to target civilians in Misrata, the only city in western Libya that is still partially in the hands of rebels. International groups are warning of a dire humanitarian crisis in Misrata, Libya’s thirdlargest city. Paris lamented the limited U.S. military role in Libya and chided Germany for its lack of involvement. In a dire analysis, France’s defense minister acknowledged that without full American participation in the combat operation, the West probably can’t stop Gadhafi’s attacks on besieged rebel cities. Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague agreed that the allies must “intensify” their efforts. France has played a particularly aggressive role in Libya in recent weeks, pushing diplomatically for a U.N. resolution to allow the international military operation and firing the first strikes in the campaign. France also was the first to recognize the Libyan opposition and to send a diplomatic envoy to the rebelheld city of Benghazi. A NATO general rejected the criticism and said the alliance is performing well and protecting civilians. Dutch Brig. Gen. Mark Van Uhm said the alliance was successful in enforcing an arms embargo, patrolling a no fly zone and protecting civilians. “I think with the assets we have, we’re doing a great job,” he said. 60168444 New battles in Libya, strains in NATO campaign Visit us online at mydailysentinel.com ��� � �� �� ���� Egypt's Mubarak hospitalized with heart problems BY ASHRAF SWEILAM AND YASSER IMAM ASSOCIATED PRESS SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was abruptly hospitalized Tuesday for heart problems during an investigation over allegations of corruption and the violence against protesters, reported state TV. The 82-year-old former president was deposed Feb. 11 after 18 days of popular protests and has been under house arrest in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh for the last two months. The public prosecutor said Monday he would be questioned. Mubarak's two sons were also summoned and were being questioned at the prosecutor's office in the provincial capital of El-Tor Tuesday. Dozens of demonstrators picketed the hospital, denouncing the president and carrying a sign reading "Here is the butcher." They scuffled with supporters of Mubarak amid a massive security presence. Two security officials said Mubarak arrived under heavy police protection to the main hospital and, according to two doctors in the hospital, he stepped out of his armored Mercedes unaided and was taken to the presidential suite in the pyramid-shaped building. The officials and doctors spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The protest movement that deposed Mubarak is now pushing for him to be brought to justice for what they say are decades of abuse and since Friday, hundreds have reoccupied parts of Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo. The protesters had criticized the army for being too close to the old regime and not swiftly bringing Mubarak to trial. On Tuesday, however, a scuffle broke out when some residents tried to break up the four-day sitin, removing barbed-wire and barricades. The army then moved in and took control of the square and cordoned off the once grassy roundabout that had been the center of many demonstrations. Sanaa Seif, a 17-yearold on the scene, said she saw the army forcibly remove people. Egypt's state news agency reported that the military police had detained a number of "outlaw thugs" at the square. Mubarak has been suffering for a number of ailments and underwent gallbladder surgery in Germany in March last year. He has kept a low profile since he was ousted, living on his compound in Sharm el-Sheikh. He was banned from traveling and his assets have been frozen. Many of his senior aides have already either been questioned or detained pending investigations. � ��� � � ���� � �� �� � � ��� � � ��� � � ��� �� �� ���� � �� � � � � ��� �� ������ ����� ��� ���� �� � �� � �� �� ���� � �� ���� ��� ��� ���� � �Page 3 BY THE BEND The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Ohio University Jazz Ensemble performance Overbrook adds to therapy department at the Riverbend Arts Council in Middleport Submitted photo Nearly 100 people from around the area attended the Ohio University Jazz Ensemble performance at the Riverbend Arts Council in Middleport Saturday night. “The biggest crowd weʼve had,” said Mary Wise, Council president, noting that it was its fifth consecutive year here.

Such moves permitted Obama to save favorite programs — Pell grants for college students, health research and “Race to the Top” aid for public schools, among others — from Republican knives, according to new details of the legislation released Tuesday morning. And big holes in foreign aid and Environmental Protection Agency accounts were patched in large part. Republicans also gave up politically treacherous cuts to the Agriculture Department’s food inspection program. The details of the agreement reached late Friday night just ahead of a deadline for a partial government shutdown reveal a lot of one-time savings and cuts that officially “score” as cuts to pay for spending elsewhere, but often have little to no actual impact on the deficit. As a result of that sleight of hand, Obama was able to reverse many of the cuts passed by House Republicans in February when the chamber approved a bill slashing this year’s budget by more than $60 billion. In doing so, the White House protected favorites like the Head Start early learning program, while maintaining the maximum Pell grant of $5,550 and funding for Obama’s “Race to the Top” initiative that provides grants to better-performing schools. Food aid to the poor was preserved, as were housing subsidies. Instead, the cuts that actually will make it into law are far tamer, including cuts to earmarks, unspent census money, leftover federal construction funding, and $2.5 billion from the most recent renewal of highway programs that can’t be spent because of restrictions set by other legislation. Another $3.5 billion comes from unused bonus money for states that enroll more uninsured children in a program providing health care to children of lower-income families. Still, Obama and his Democratic allies accepted $600 million in cuts to community health centers programs, $414 million in cuts to grants for state and local police departments, and a $1.6 billion reduction in the Environmental Protection Agency budget, almost $1 billion of which would come from grants for clean water and other projects by local govern- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Family planning programs would bear a 5 percent cut rather than being completely eliminated. Homeland security programs would have to take their first-ever cut, though much of the 2 percent decrease comes from a $786 million cut to first responder grants to state and local governments. The IRS would see its budget frozen but be spared the 5 percent cut sought by House Republicans. About $10 billion of the cuts already have been enacted as the price for keeping the government open as negotiations progressed; lawmakers tipped their hand regarding another $10 billion or so when the House passed a spending bill last week that ran aground in the Senate. For instance, the spending measure reaps $350 million by cutting a one-year program enacted in 2009 for dairy farmers then suffering from low milk prices. Another $650 million comes by not repeating a onetime infusion into highway programs passed that same year. And just last Friday, Congress approved Obama’s $1 billion request for high-speed rail grants — crediting itself with $1.5 billion in savings relative to last year. The underlying issue is long overdue legislation to finance the day-to-day budget of every Cabinet department, including the Pentagon, for the already half-completed 2011 fiscal year. The measure caps 2011 funding for such operating budgets at about $1.2 trillion. About $10 billion of the cuts comes from targeting appropriations accounts previously used by lawmakers for so-called earmarks, those pet projects like highways, water projects, community development grants and new equipment for police and fire departments. Republicans had already engineered a ban on earmarks when taking back the House this year. Lawmakers also claimed $5 billion in savings by capping payments from a fund awarding compensation to crime victims. Under an arcane bookkeeping rule — used for years by appropriators — placing a cap on spending from the Justice Department crime victims fund allows lawmakers to claim the entire contents of the fund as budget savings. The savings are awarded year after year. While the maximum Pell Grant won’t be cut, the measure eliminates a recently enacted year-round grant that proved far more costly than expected. That will produce small savings at first, about $500 million this year, but a total of $35 billion over the upcoming decade. Even before details of the bill came out, some conservative Republicans were assailing it. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said he probably won’t vote for the measure, and tea party favorite Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is a “nay” as well. And in another blow Tuesday, Rep. Jim Jordan, ROhio, announced he’ll oppose the bill in a vote Thursday. Jordan’s opposition is noteworthy because he chairs the Republican Study Committee, with a membership that makes up a sizable majority of GOP lawmakers. “Americans want us to reach higher, act bolder, and remember the job we were sent here to do,” Jordan said. The White House rejected GOP attempts to block the EPA’s ability to issue global warming rules and other reversals of environmental regulations. Obama also forced Republicans to drop an effort to cut off Planned Parenthood from federal funding, as well as GOP moves to stop implementation of Obama’s overhauls of health care and Wall Street regulation. The administration also thwarted a GOP attempt to block new rules governing the Internet, as well as a National Rifle Association-backed attempt to neuter a little-noticed initiative aimed at catching people running guns to Mexican drug lords by having regulators gather information on batch purchases of rifles and shotguns. Anti-abortion lawmakers did, however, succeed in winning a provision to block taxpayer-funded abortions in the District of Columbia. And House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, won funding for a personal initiative to provide federally funded vouchers for District of Columbia students to attend private schools. Instead of sharply cutting the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, both agencies would get increases under the legislation as they gear up to implement last year’s overhaul of financial regulation. And renewable energy programs are cut $407 million below last year, almost 20 percent. The Army Corps of Engineers, which funds flood control and inland waterway projects, will absorb a $578 million cut, representing about 10 percent of its budget. And, as expected, the bill eliminates funding for the development of an alternative for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Park From Page A1 and from John S. Miller of Long Bottom for $950 per mow. The vote was tabled until the next meeting. Council voted to allow repair of the Pomeroy Fire Department’s Pumper Three which could cost up to $10,000, though it also could be less. The pumper needs repair due to normal wear and tear — it stopped working correctly while being used to hose off village streets after recent flooding. Council voted to approve cutting of brush along the riverbank by a Mr. Boling, a contractor who cut it last year at a price of $1,300. Boling also cut the brush at Water Works Park. Village Administrator Paul Hellman said the village was turned down for a small government grant but he is pursuing an Appalachian Regional Commission grant for $62,000 — the village would provide a 20 percent match ($12,000). Money would be used to clean the village’s water wells of which there are four. Council also approved amending ordinance 744 to charge $7 for each 1,000 gallons of bulk water purchased — this is normally used by people with swimming pools. The price was $4.75 per 1,000 gallons of bulk water. Hellman also reported it would be May before the village could get any blacktop to patch pot holes. Welker said he’d been asked by residents if the village had a sound ordinance, to which Police Chief Mark E. Proffitt said it did. Welker said residents had complained that if the village had an ordinance on loud trucks, why would that not apply to loud motorcycles? Proffitt said his officers had not given tickets for jake braking or loud exhausts on motorcycles but had issued them for defective exhausts on vehicles — still, he said he would make his officers aware of the complaints. Also approved: purchase of Microsoft Office for Hellman’s work computer for $129; purchase of orange barrels for $10 each from Hellman who had around 8-10 to sell; Proffitt reported the department’s Nissan Sentra placed up for bid sold to David Clark; approved placing two older trucks used by the street department up for bid; $2,000 was transferred from the general to the street fund. The Mayor’s Report for March was approved with $12,453 received in fines and forfeitures. There were 98 parking tickets issued in March, eight voided tickets, $2,562.27 received from parking meters, $178 received from tickets, $510 received from parking permits for a total of $3,250.27.

Scott Powell issued marriage licenses to: • Justin Lee Workman, 24, Bobbi Sue Napper, 25, Albany. • Lester Lee Stewart, 41, and Amy Jo Stewart, 40, Reedsville. Common Pleas Court Criminal • Mary Shoemaker sentenced to one year, receiving stolen property. • Jordann Thomas sentenced to five years community control, failure to appear after recognzance release. • Criminal charge against Edward L. Mitchell dismissed. Domestic • Divorce granted to Billy Combs from Betty L. Combs. Jackie Welker, Vic Young and Pete Barnhart voted for the ordinance’s first reading and Councilwoman Ruth Spaun abstained from the vote. Spaun asked Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Hysell about the finances and if the village could afford the raises. Hysell said funds are “tight” and “money is just not coming into the general fund.” She also said a worst case scenario, if revenue doesn’t pick up, could be layoffs. She then pointed to the village spending significantly more than it’s been taking in for the first three months of the year. After the meeting, Hysell said in January, the general fund took in $44,824.71 but had expenditures in the amount of $70,240.60; in February, the general fund took in $57,358.68 but had expenditures of $80,498.31; in March, the general fund took in $57,945.64 but had expenditures in the amount of $66,908.89. This means, to date, the village has overspent the general fund by $57,518.77. Council From Page A1 Pearl Street, and provide needed revenue for the village’s general fund. The current jail primarily houses men, but is approved for housing women in the absence of male inmates. The new jail, to be built as part of a larger village hall project at the old Middleport Elementary School, will house both men and women in separate areas. In other business, council authorized Mayor Michael Gerlach, Fiscal Officer Susan Baker and Village Administrator Faymon Roberts to interview and hire a new worker for the public works department at a rate of $10.50 per hour, plus benefits. The application deadline for the position is today. The opening was created when public works employee Michael Hendrickson was hired as the village building inspector. Brenda Barnhart of the local National Day of Prayer Committee presented a proclamation for the National Day of Prayer observance in Pomeroy on May 5. The annual event includes a weeklong observance, among them a circle of prayer around the county courthouse, a youth night activity, a candlelight vigil and daily Bible readings on the Pomeroy parking lot. The observance centerpiece is a community prayer service for elected officials and other leaders at the county courthouse on May 5. Council also: • Approved hiring Mike Klein, a former police department dispatcher now working in the public works department, to work up to five hours per week with Mayor’s Court duties. • Met in executive session to discuss the investigation of charges or a complaint against a public official, with no action. • Approved payment of bills and departmental reports for March.

I made a good pitch and got a ground ball.” Volquez (2-0) has allowed nine total runs in the opening inning in his first three starts. He allowed only one more hit in the next five innings and finished with five strikeouts and two walks. “He did start off rough,” manager Dusty Baker said. “At least he didn’t say, ‘Here we go again.’ But he settled down and started throwing the ball great. Especially he started getting strike one, and he was throwing 96, 97 mph. He started dealing.” Baker had to remove Volquez after he twisted his right big toe. “We know he’s a great pitcher,” San Diego’s Orlando Hudson said. “He’s got four pitches. And he showed why he’s a quality pitcher.” Hudson said Volquez settled down after the first. “But he even had good stuff in the first. That’s what good pitchers do — they give up two runs in the first, then they shut Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Indians win 8th straight, 4-0 over Angels Heisey, Gomes homer off Latos in Reds’ 3-2 win SAN DIEGO (AP) — Edinson Volquez got himself in trouble again in the first inning. No big surprise there, just like it wasn’t a surprise that he quickly settled down. Chris Heisey hit a tworun homer and Jonny Gomes had a solo shot to help erase Volquez’s early two-run deficit, and the Cincinnati Reds beat San Diego 3-2 on Monday night to spoil Padres ace Mat Latos’ season debut. Volquez allowed singles to Will Venable and Orlando Hudson and walked Chase Headley to open the Padres’ first. He hit Ryan Ludwick in the back to bring in a run and Brad Hawpe followed with a sacrifice fly. The right-hander then got Nick Hundley to hit into an inning-ending double play. “Hey, if we can get him through the first inning, the last three times out now he’s had a tough first inning but he’s rebounded real well and kept them right there,” Heisey said. “He’s looked great.” Volquez’s first-inning ERA is 27.00. His ERA after the first is 1.38. “That was killing me in the first inning,” Volquez said. “That’s part of the game. There’s nothing I can do about it but just keep pitching, throw the ball well. In a situation like that you just make a good pitch and get a double Page 8 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — If the Cleveland Indians keep winning at this rate, it’s going to be difficult for them to sneak up on anyone. Mitch Talbot took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Indians got home runs from Asdrubal Cabrera and Matt LaPorta to beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-0 Monday night for their eighth straight win. “I don’t think anybody expected us to come out like this” Talbot said, “But you look down this lineup and it’s pretty good.” The winning streak is Cleveland’s longest since a 10-game stretch in August 2008. The Indians, coming off a sweep at Seattle, have started out 4-0 on the road for the first time since 1998 (6-0). Their 82 start overall is their best since 2002, when they won 12 of their first 13. “It helps to have a lead and have some margin for error,” manager Manny Acta said. “That’s something we didn’t have very often here last year. But we have a better lineup this year and that helps everybody.” Talbot (1-0) came within three outs of his first big league shutout, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out four. He was lifted after Bobby Abreu led off you down.” Latos had been on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder. He lost his sixth straight start dating to September. Latos (0-1) started strongly with five strikeouts in his first three innings. He got out of a first-inning jam when he struck out Gomes to strand runners on first and second. But Latos threw a 1-1 hanging curveball to Gomes with two outs in the fourth and he drove it into the balcony on the second level of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner for his third homer. The Reds went ahead 32 in the fifth when Heisey hit a high fastball into the seats in left, his first. Paul Janish was aboard on a one-out walk. “I felt like everything went fine,” Latos said. “I made two mistakes in the whole ballgame.” Latos went six innings, allowing three runs on four hits, with seven strikeouts and two walks. “I was excited to be out there,” Latos said. “Real pumped to be out there in front of the home crowd. I tried to feel calm and collected.” Francisco Cordero pitched the ninth for his second save in as many chances. the ninth with a double on Talbot’s 112th pitch. “My biggest thing was locating my fastball down in the zone,” Talbot said. “It had a little bit of sink, a little bit of run, and I was getting ground balls. Most hitters are going to try to run your pitch count up, and maybe take a pitch here or there, so it always helps to get ahead. It’s a pretty big accomplishment to stick around that long in the game.” The Angels were quite impressed by what they saw from Talbot. In his only other start against them, he gave up a run over 6 1-3 innings in 9-2 win at Anaheim on April 27, 2010. “He was in a zone,” said Angels right fielder Torii Hunter, who didn’t get a ball out of the infield in four at-bats. “He had all his pitches working — the twoseamer, the cutter, the changeup, and the slider. He threw everything at us but the kitchen sink. He had trust in his stuff and threw it at anytime for strikes. When he needed a ground ball and a big out, he got it done. We just couldn’t get him up in the zone to get under the ball and get it to the outfield. We kept hitting it on the ground.” Vinnie Pestano retired the final three batters in order. Angels starter Tyler Chatwood gave up four runs, four hits and four walks in five innings in his major league debut. “I think I felt more anxious than nervous, but it was definitely exciting to get out there and just have the opportunity to pitch in Angel Stadium, finally,” Talbot said. “There was a lot of adrenaline going through me. I felt confident the whole time and just tried to attack the zone and get ahead early in the count. I’m not satisfied with my outing because I didn’t keep my team in the game and we lost. But I’ve just got to learn from it.” The 21-year-old righthander was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake when Dan Haren’s scheduled start was pushed back a day. Haren had pitched an inning of relief to get the win in the Angels’ 14-inning, 6-5 victory over Toronto on Saturday night. Chatwood was the organization’s minor league pitcher of the year last season, and has just 6 2-3 innings of Triple-A experience.

Blue Jackets get head start on summer once again COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Stuck watching 16 other teams head to the playoffs once again, the Columbus Blue Jackets need to get a lot better and will likely undergo a facelift in the offseason. “We’ve got to look at this,” general manager Scott Howson said Monday after exit interviews with the players. “Because whatever we have right now isn’t working.” The club’s 10th season — all but one concluding with tee times instead of playoff beards — ended with a thud on Saturday night in a 5-4 loss to Buffalo. The Blue Jackets finished 34-35-13 for 81 points, a two-point improvement over a year ago, but not close to being in the hunt for the postseason. They were 16 points behind the last playoff qualifier, Chicago. Howson made almost no changes beyond hiring coach Scott Arniel and a new staff heading into the 2010-11 season. Although the Blue Jackets skated out to a good start, they again foundered in December (3-9-3), and fell so far off the pace that even a slight uptick in the second half wasn’t enough to make things interesting for their loyal but dwindling fan base. What’s more, they won just one of their last 11 games with captain Rick Nash and franchise goalie Steve Mason injured. But Arniel believes the team made some headway. “We beat up some demons,” he said, “that have kind of been hanging around.” He pointed to the franchise’s best road record ever (17-16-8), the transition to an uptempo game after years playing a defensive-oriented, trapping game, and a more consistent expenditure of effort every night. Under Arniel, Columbus played hard. But serious personnel questions remain. Many fans were critical of Howson’s decision to stand pat last year, and they voiced their disapproval with their wallets. Attendance at Nationwide Arena dropped almost 1,800 per game from a year ago, to 13,658. R.J. Umberger, who posted a career-best 57 points in his third full season with the Blue Jackets, stopped short of saying the club was at a disadvantage in talent. “The nights when we all work hard and give a great effort and all 20 guys play, we do pretty well,” he said. “And when we only have half the team (playing hard), we struggle. We’re obviously built as a team where we need everybody.” There are lots of theories why the club isn’t better. Once again, Mason — who powered the play- off run in 2008-09 by going 33-20-7 with a league-best 10 shutouts and a 2.29 goals-against average — was erratic in net. He went 24-21-7 with three shutouts and a a 3.03 goals-against average. But that’s not all on him. There is little depth and skill among the blueliners, and no one knows exactly when prized defensemen John Moore and David Savard will be ready for the NHL. “There’s no way you can be successful if you allow so many goals,” said Howson, whose team surrendered fewer goals than only four NHL teams. “That’s not just a goaltending thing, that’s a team defense area as well.” He hinted that he is likely to revamp the blue line through free agency and trades. And once again, the team’s best player and captain, Nash, didn’t get a whole lot of help. The franchise has sought a centerman to set him up ever since Nash (32 goals, 34 assists in 75 games) came into the league eight years ago. There have been a dozen or more possibilities, some more effective than others, but none with much staying power. The next in line will likely be 18-year-old Ryan Johansen, last season’s first-round draft pick, who will be given every chance to make the big club next year. What’s most troubling is it’s hard to pinpoint the Blue Jackets’ problems because they seem to change from week to week. “You can’t really put your finger on one thing. It’s kind of a whole bunch of different things,” said forward Jared Boll, one of the team’s few tough guys. “At times, we played well and looked like a playoff team and it looked like we were going to get in. Then, at other times, we looked like we were at the bottom of the cellar again.” Now that Arniel and his staff know what they have and what they need, perhaps they can prevail upon Howson to make some upgrades. Several unrestricted free agents who produced little for what they were making (Scottie Upshall, Chris Clark, Ethan Moreau and Craig Rivet) will probably not return. An influx of fresh blood, from the minors or another NHL outpost, might help end the franchise’s downward cycle. “We took some steps to trying to change our identity as a group, where we allow defeat to happen, where we allow bad things to happen,” Arniel said. “We learned from it. We weren’t perfect at it. But we’ve gotten a lot better and have a lot more confidence in our abilities.” AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Good news travels much faster than when Gary Player first won the Masters. It was only fitting that on the 50th anniversary of Player becoming the first non-American player in a green jacket, he watched another South African, Charl Schwartzel, become the first champion at Augusta National to finish with four straight birdies. Player wasted no time sending his congratulations — on Twitter, of course, in a sign of the times. In the hours after Schwartzel won against a leaderboard that featured players from every continent on which golf is played, the 26-year-old champion sent Player a reply. “Proud to follow your tradition!” Player was an anomaly at the time he won, the first global player in a game that is more international than ever before. Schwartzel’s victory Sunday at the Masters was only the latest example of worldwide parity in golf. For the first time since 1994 — and only the second since the Masters began in 1934 — non-American players hold the four major championships. Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland won the U.S. Open last summer at Pebble Beach, followed by Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa at the British Open and Martin Kaymer of Germany at the PGA Championship. “The world is big,” Schwartzel said after the third round. “America is big, but the world is bigger. There’s more people. It might change again. There’s just a bunch of good players out there from the European Tour and even Asia.” Schwartzel is not a late bloomer in the game. His father has a chicken farm in Vereeniging, near Pretoria, and he played golf three times a week. Schwartzel was a toddler when his father and Ernie Els played together in a team event they won at a local club in South Africa. He would caddie for his father in Wednesday and Saturday games, and Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT Phil Mickelson presents the green jacket to Charl Schwartzel, the winner of the 75th Masters Tournament, at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, on Sunday. they played together on Friday. “And that’s how it started,” Schwartzel said. As a teenager, he took part in Els’ junior program that traveled around the country to compete. Another kid from the other side of the country, Oosthuizen, also was part of that program. Oosthuizen hoisting a claret jug last summer at St. Andrews did not go unnoticed. “That was a huge inspiration,” Schwartzel said. “We grew up together from a young age. We played every single team event, and we represented South Africa for so long. We basically are the best of mates. So we know where our level of golf is, and just to see him do it made me realize that it’s possible.” Schwartzel winning allowed for 50-year bookends of South Africans in a green jacket. This final round, however, also was reminiscent of 25 years ago, when Jack Nicklaus stormed through a leaderboard that featured Tom Kite, Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros to win a sixth green jacket at age 46. That will live in Masters lore because it was Nicklaus. This one was compelling because of the sheer number of players who had a chance. The significance of 1986 — in terms of global golf — goes beyond the scores that week. It was in 1986 when the Official World Golf Ranking was introduced, with Europeans at Nos. 1-2-3 in the world. The Masters, along with the other two American-based majors, had a distinctive Stars & Stripes feel to it. There were only 13 players outside North America in the 88-man field at Augusta in 1986. This year, there were 55 players from outside North American in the 99-man field. “Maybe in the past, there are only 10, 15, 20 guys who could win the tournament,” Kaymer said earlier in the week. “These days, how many is in the field, 100? And probably 60, 70 guys have a chance to win. I don’t think it has something to do with where you’re coming from — America or Asia or Europe.” Among the 34 players who broke par at the Masters was 19-yearold Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, who qualified by winning the Asian A m a t e u r Championship. The Augusta National members were thrilled, not only because they are working with the Royal & Ancient to develop the Asian Amateur, but because they figured it would be another five years before the amateur winner could factor at the Masters. Y.E. Yang of South Korea was the first Asian male to win a major two years ago in the PGA Championship. Australia has had a golf tradition for more than a century, although it remains without a green jacket. It only stands out because of all the heartache Greg Norman suffered at Augusta over the years. Adam Scott had a one-shot lead with two holes to play, and Jason Day birdied his last two holes. They tied for second, while Geoff Ogilvy and his five straight birdies on the back nine put him in a tie for fourth. Norman spoke to Day and Scott by phone after they signed their cards. “He’s very proud of what we did out there and how we played,” Day said. “I don’t think there’s going to be a drought for too long. I think Australian golf is right where it needs to be, and there’s a lot of young, good Australian golfers coming up right now through the ranks. One of us is going to win that green jacket one day.” When that day comes, the Australians will have more than Woods or any other American to beat. South Africans have won two of the last three majors. Europeans have won two of the last four. “It just shows how strong golf is worldwide,” Day said. “It used to be pretty strong on the American circuit. Just shows how tough it is getting and how tough it is to get onto these tours.” Ex-USD star figures in sports bribery indictment SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former University of San Diego star basketball player, another former player and a former assistant coach were charged with running a sports betting business to affect the outcome of games, federal authorities said Monday. The indictment names Brandon Johnson, the school’s all-time leading scorer who finished his college career last year, Thaddeus Brown, an assistant coach at the school in the 2006-07 season, and Brandon Dowdy, who played at USD in the 2006-07 season and at the University of California, Riverside, from 2008 to 2010. Seven other people were also charged. Authorities did not say how the alleged scheme worked and said they were trying to determine its scope, including the number of games allegedly involved. The indictment alleges that Johnson, 24, took a bribe to influence a USD game in February 2010 and solicited someone else this January to affect the outcome of USD basketball games while playing for the Dakota Wizards, a development team for the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies. U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy didn’t name the USD opponent in the February 2010 game, saying only that Johnson was the school’s starting point guard at the time. Johnson “was intricately involved in both the illegal gambling business and in the sports bribery schemes,” Duffy said at a news conference. There was no attorney listed for Johnson in court documents. The indictment, handed up Friday by a federal grand jury in San Diego and unsealed Monday, alleges that Brown, 32, of El Cajon, and Dowdy, 22, of San Diego, solicited someone to affect the outcome of a game in February. Authorities said the game was at the University of California, Riverside. Authorities said USD was fully cooperating and was not accused of any wrongdoing. Duffy and Keith Slotter, head of the FBI’s San Diego office, met Monday with school officials. “They are rightly concerned,” Duffy said. “They were very responsive and cooperative and it was a good meeting.” USD, a small, Catholic school that plays in the West Coast Conference, said it informed the NCAA of the probe on Monday. “These are very serious allegations and the university is fully cooperating with the investigation,” President Mary Lyons said. The investigation evolved from a probe of a marijuana distribution operation that began about a year ago, Slotter said. The 10 people are charged with conspiracy to commit sports bribery, conduct an illegal gambling business and distribute marijuana. If convicted, they each face up to five years in prison and $250,000 fines. Nine of the 10 were arrested, including Johnson, who was taken into custody Saturday in Houston. Seven other arrests were made Monday in the San Diego area. One person remained at large. Johnson, who finished his college career as USD’s all-time leading scorer with 1,790 points, was on the team that stunned Connecticut in overtime in the first round of the 2008 NCAA tournament, the biggest win in school history. USD finished 22-14 that season, and has struggled ever since under coach Bill Grier. It finished 624 last season. Johnson averaged 6.1 points a game this season for the Dakota Wizards. The team wrapped up its season April 4. Scott Woodmansee, a spokesman for the Dakota Wizards, said the Bismarck, N.D., team had no comment. He had no contact information for Johnson. �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 10 Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Eastern falls to Golden Eagles, 7-3 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern baseball team suffered its second consecutive TVC Hocking loss on Monday, with Belpre defeating the Eagles 7-3.

BRYAN WALTERS/PHOTOS Legal team for NFL players meet with judge MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With the lockout at one month and counting, attorneys for NFL players sat down Tuesday with the federal magistrate who will oversee court-ordered mediation with the league later this week. Attorneys and Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan for about four hours. Boylan “was very open” and “it was a very constructive session,” said Michael Hausfeld, the lead attorney representing Eller and a group of mostly retired players in their antitrust lawsuit against the owners. Other attorneys declined comment. The meeting came on the same day the NFL released its 2011 preseason schedule, led by the Hall of Fame Game between Chicago and St. Louis in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7. Whether the games are held remains an open question. The NFL’s attorneys are scheduled to meet with Boylan on Wednesday before mediation begins on Thursday, the first talks since collective bargaining negotiations broke down March 11, followed hours later by the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. Boylan has a reputation as a problemsolver, though what he can accomplish after more than two weeks of mediated talks fell short last month in Washington remains to be seen. He has been a magistrate since 1996 and presided over numerous mediations, including a $195 million settlement between Boston Scientific and about 4,000 claims involving heart defibrillators and pacemakers made by Guidant Corp. in 2007. He’ll need to be at his best in this session because the rancor between the two sides has grown increasingly bitter as the dispute landed in court. “If the parties would rather take their shot for litigation, you could make them sit there forever and there still won’t be an outcome,” said Seth Borden, a labor law expert at McKenna, Long and Aldridge in New York. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson ordered the mediation on Monday. Nelson is still considering an injunction request from the players to lift the lockout imposed by owners after the players dissolved their union, clearing the way for the court fight. Players including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning filed the injunction request in federal court here along with a class-action antitrust suit against the league. Retirees, including Eller, filed their own lawsuit, and the cases have been consolidated. “What happened today in mediation was for the mediator to become more knowledgeable about positions of the Brady plaintiffs and the Eller plaintiffs and understand their overlap and their positions on respective issues,” Hausfeld said. Nelson has ordered both sides to keep mediation details confidential, urging both sides to get “back to the table.” The NFL said it wanted to resume talks with federal mediator George Cohen in Washington following 16 days of unsuccessful collective bargaining negotiations, but the players wanted to hold any mediation under Nelson’s auspices. Nelson’s decision on the injunction could swing leverage in the case one way or the other, so it is unclear how eager either party will be to enter into serious settlement discussions pending her ruling. “Both parties are going to go into this (mediation) balancing what they might be able to accomplish through direct negotiations against the prospect of getting something worse than that possibly if the judge is going to rule,” Borden said.
