THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs Local BOE initiates reduction in staff plan BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The Meigs Local Board of Education at its Tuesday night meeting passed a resolution to notify the Meigs Local Teachers Association and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees of its intent to implement a reduction in force (RIF) policy. The reasons given for the move toward reducing employment numbers was the declining enrollment, and the lack of funding for the 20112012 school year. Treasurer/CFO Mark Rhonemus, reported a gradual decline in enrollment “a lose of about 35 or 40 students each year.” He said last year’s enrollment was about 1950 while this year it has dropped to about 1915. Students who are home- schooled or opt for the open enrollment option contribute to the decreasing enrollment. State funding for schools decreases for each student lost in the district’s enrollment. He said that while the reduction in force will mean a lose of positions, it doesn’t mean a lose of people because there are open positions due to attrition for which the people involved are quali- fied to fill. The next step to be taken will be to determine what positions will be affected in the RIF action and then for the Board to pass the actual motion to eliminate the positions. At the meeting the Board acknowledged the ARRA School Improvement Title 1 federal grant received by the district in the amount of $52,188.07.

Thirty netbooks have been purchased through a federal grant secured from the Improving Literacy through School Libraries program. The netbooks are stored and charged in a moveable cart which has wireless access. What this means is that the classroom doesn’t have to go to the computers, the computers come to them. A project now being carried out by the sophomore class of Susan Mett requires the students to research their ancestors on Ancestry.com. Then once they find out who their ancestors were they are required to do further research to determine the period of time in which they lived and something about their lifestyle. Meigs High School students are now using netbooks purchased with funding from a federal grant.

The discussion began after an executive session which was called for disciplinary matters in the public works department. When adjourning back into regular session, no action was taken on the disciplinary matter though a debate quickly ensued about nepotism and how the law interprets it. Mayor John Musser said he’d asked Village Solicitor Chris Tenoglia to write a legal opinion regarding the Ohio Ethics Law on nepotism for employees of the village as it relates to elected village council members. Tenoglia states Musser requested the opinion because “you specifically indicated that a certain member of your village council may be interfering with and/or questioning a department head with regard to employment of her son.” Tenoglia said “your specific question was ‘can a village council member give direction to a department head regarding the employment of their son, their duties, their work habits, or in anyway have contact with that department head regarding the daily operations of that department and that child’s continued employment?’” Tenoglia wrote “not only is it impermissible to have contact with that child’s employing department head but they (council member) also cannot participate in any matter regarding the department in which a child is employed.

POMEROY — Rain and high winds combined to knockout power to around 3,225 American Electric Power customers on Wednesday afternoon. Jeff Rennie, spokesperson for AEP, said the majority of the outages were in the Pomeroy and Middleport areas. Rennie said it appeared a transmission line was affected by the storm at the Rutland substation which required repair. The majority of the outages happened at around 1:30 p.m. and by 5 p.m., AEP was anticipating all customers would be back on the grid. Wednesday afternoon, Rennie said the majority of outages reported around Ohio were from the Pomeroy and Marietta areas though AEP was preparing to deal with more severe weather Wednesday evening into Thursday morning.

Tania Crawford, Dexter Road, admitted to six counts of felonious assault and discharge of a firearm over a public roadway before Judge Dean Evans yesterday. Crawford was scheduled to go before a jury earlier this month, but entered into a plea agreement with the state. Prosecuting Attorney Colleen S. Williams said yesterday Crawford pled to all charges in her indictment, with one count, that of discharging a firearm over a public roadway, was reduced to a fourthdegree felony. Crawford is to appear in court for sentencing on July 7. Williams said the state has recommended a sentence of four years and 11 months in prison.

Gov. John Kasich’s remarks to reporters came a day after Obama told Cleveland’s WKYC-TV that he strongly disapproves of new laws restricting public employee unions in Ohio and Wisconsin. Kasich, a first-term Republican, said he’s working to balance the state’s budget and urged the Democratic president to do the same. “Why doesn’t he do his job?” Kasich told reporters at an unrelated bill-signing ceremony. “When he does his job and gets our budget balanced and starts to prepare a future for our children, then maybe he can have an opinion on what’s going on in Ohio.” Ohio’s new law affects more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public workers. They can negotiate wages and certain work conditions but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. Opponents hope to ask voters this fall to overturn the measure. Wisconsin’s law covers 175,000 workers, exempting police and firefighters. It’s tem- porarily blocked by a court order. Kasich has said his $55.5 billion, two-year state budget proposal counts on unspecified savings from lifting union protections to help fill an $8 billion hole. He argues it will give local governments and school districts the ability to rein in spending and tackle their own budget problems. In Tuesday’s interview, Obama said states should not use the financial crisis as an excuse to erode bargaining rights. “Let’s make sure that we’ve got shared sacrifice, that we make sure that the burden doesn’t just fall on one set of folks,” he said. Former Michigan governor brings energy views to Ohio BY JULIE CARR SMYTH ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS — Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm continued a nationwide clean energy tour in Ohio on Wednesday, imploring an audience of academics, energy consultants and lobbyists to carry the Pew Clean Energy Program’s bipartisan call to action to state and national leaders. During a keynote address to the University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio, the former twoterm governor delivered an impassioned plea for advocates not to miss a critical opportunity for setting national cleanenergy policy goals. The Democrat is working with former U.S. Sen. John Warner of Virginia, a Republican, on the effort. “Globalization has completely changed the conversation. ... Other nations are taking action to create jobs for their people,” Granholm told the breakfast gathering. “And so we have got to wake up and say we’re not in this hermeticallysealed environment. We have got to take action.” According to Pew research, China and Germany have outpaced the United States during the past two years in the dollars they’ve invested in the clean energy sector — $54.4 billion for China and $41.2 billion for Germany, compared with $34 billion for the U.S. “I don’t know about you, but I am not willing for America to stand on the bronze Olympic stand and be proud. ‘We’re No. 3!’” said Granholm, a senior policy adviser to Pew. “That’s not who we are, and I hope that’s not who you think we should be.” Mike Carey, president of the Ohio Coal Association, questioned Granholm’s message. He said China is spending more on all sources of energy to meet basic, or baseline, demand — especially coal. “They may be spending money in renewable sources, but by far and away they’re spending money on bringing new baseline generation to the marketplace — and that’s what’s going to drive their economy in the future,” he said. Ohio is among eight stops on Granholm’s tour — seven states and the District of Columbia where overall jobs fell but the clean energy economy increased. The state has attracted $74 million in clean technology venture capital over the past three years, according to Pew. In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of her appearance, Granholm said supporters of the effort believe the time is right both economically and politically. She said the federal deficit is important, but most Ohioans are more concerned about jobs and gas prices. So Pew worked to identify policies with broad support that would boost employment and lower pump prices. It has steered clear of the most divisive energy policies, such as capand-trade emissions swapping programs and carbon taxes. “We’re talking about these four pragmatic policies that have overwhelming support.” The Pew policy goals are: requiring that 20 percent of energy production come from renewable sources by 2025; increasing fuel efficiency in vehicles to at least 50 mpg for model years 2017 to 2025; doubling the number of industrial facilities that recycle waste heat into power by 2020; and increase research-anddevelopment funding from $3.8 billion to $15 billion by 2015. Carey said such targets ultimately increase costs for consumers. “The bottom line is any time we try to pick winners and losers in energy, ultimately it’s the consumer that will have to pay the price,” he said. “So if you’re going to require 20 percent of renewables, which are more expensive than your baseload coal energy, it’s going to resonate with people the same as the idea of paying more at the pump is starting to resonate. That’s why we can see the defeat of policies like the cap and trade bill. This is just more of same.” Pew and Granholm say their goals are moderate and widely supported by the public. Their polling showed 85 percent of Americans support policies that promote clean energy use while reducing the country’s reliance on foreign oil. That includes strong majorities of Democrats, Republicans, independents and tea party supporters. Report: Fingerhut candidate for UK president LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — One of the candidates for the presidency at the University of Kentucky has been identified in a published report as a former Ohio chancellor and politician. The Lexington HeraldLeader cited former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland in reporting that Eric D. Fingerhut is a candidate for the position. Strickland called Fingerhut “a wonderfully gifted person” who built a broad-based coalition of business and education, Democrats and Republicans during his four years as Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents which oversees 14 universities and 23 community colleges. Fingerhut, 51, is a former U.S. congressman and Ohio state senator. He currently works for a nonprofit organization called Jobs for the Future. Strickland, who earned a doctorate from UK in 1980, said he was “very pleased when I heard that Eric had applied, but I’m not sure where they are in that process.” Fingerhut did not return phone calls from the newspaper to his home and office. His background and experience match many of the criteria that search committee members have for the next UK president. Fingerhut is politically savvy, able to bring together disparate constituencies and has pushed to link higher education with business. Strickland and Fingerhut both ran for governor in 2006, but Fingerhut dropped out. Two years earlier, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for U.S. Senate. “He had the deepest and the broadest respect in Ohio,” Strickland said. Fingerhut graduated from Northwestern University and received a law degree from Stanford University. According to his biography on the Ohio Board of Regents Web site, he and his wife, Amy, have two young sons and live in Columbus. UK officials would not confirm whether Fingerhut was a candidate. “As has been the case throughout this process, we will not comment on the candidate pool,” said Britt Brockman, chairman of the UK Board of Trustees. “The confidentiality of this process is critically important in ensuring that we get the best possible candidate to lead the University of Kentucky as our 12th president.” The search to replace retiring president Lee T. Todd Jr. has been conducted largely in secret after a consultant told the search committee that open searches tend to drive away highly qualified candidates. The committee and trustees decided only to reveal finalists if all of them agreed to being named. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said at least one had objected. The trustees are expected to name a preferred candidate this weekend. On Monday, that person will visit campus to speak with students, faculty and staff. The board of trustees is expected to vote on whether to extend a formal job offer to the candidate during its meeting on Tuesday.

History Made: Riffle family attains 1st Dan Black Belts BY DELYSSA HUFFMAN DHUFFMAN@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — On April 9, the Riffle family of Gallipolis made history during the 136th Promotion Test at the S.H. Kang’s Taekwondo Academy in Charleston. Attaining their 1st Dan Black Belts together as a family, the Riffles are proud to have joined the Main Street Taekwondo Academy and advanced as a group. It started about three years ago when mother Trena decided that Taekwondo would be a great family activity. She signed her boys up, then found out about the parent discount, and soon the entire family was taking the martial arts together. The parents agreed that Page 3 they have seen many positive benefits from training, and their sons, Warren and Jared, both have gained a great deal of confidence, especially in school. They are in the sixth and eighth grades at Gallia Middle School. The Riffles will now begin another phase of training and will prepare to test for their 2nd Dan Black Belt in two years. In that time, they will learn teaching skills, as well as advanced selfdefense with throws, tack-downs, etc. to put an opponent on the ground. According to Master Pam Siders from the Main Street Academy, “This is the exciting time in their training, because they now have learned their “basics” and now are more prepared for more advanced skills.” Submitted photo On April 9, the Riffle family of Gallipolis, Ohio, made history during the 136th Promotion Test at the S.H.

B RO T H E R S Kid canʼt sleep alone Dear Dr. Brothers: Being first-time parents, my husband and I have decided to play the whole parenthood thing by ear. I think we really screwed up big time along the way. Our son used to always crawl into bed with us to go to sleep, but now that he’s almost 12 years old, he shows no signs of being an independent sleeper. Our friends tell us he is way too old to still be doing this. Every time we try to get him to go in his own room, he freaks out. What can we do? — N.C. Dear N.C.: OK, yes, you probably missed a number of good windows of opportunity to convert the family bed to a couples-only club. Your son is on the fast track to puberty, and the issue probably will resolve itself when he starts feeling a bit too grown-up to be sharing a bed with Mom and Dad. But old habits die hard. If this is the only way he has ever looked at bedtime, and if it has been a nurturing and pleasant experience for him, you should not be too surprised to discover that he hates the idea of sleeping on his own. It might be difficult, but if your attitude is firm, he will see that you are serious. So try to put any wavering behind you. This would be a great time to redo his room, looking ahead to the teen years, and make it a place where he really wants to spend his time, including sleep time. He can set aside a half-hour for reading before bed (I don’t recommend putting a TV or computer in the room). Be there for him in every way — except as sleepmates. If he wakes in the night and wants to join you, don’t allow it. You must know your son very well — I’m sure if he is painfully shy, depressed, overly emotional or anx- Dr. Joyce Brothers ious, you would seek some kind of mental-health expert to speak with him. If he is well-adjusted and has just never broken the habit of sleeping in his parents’ room, there’s no time like tonight for taking that first step. Let him know you’re on his side, if not by it. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: While on vacation last summer, my husband and I were approached by a modeling agent, who told us what a great “plus-size” model our 17-year-old daughter would make. After researching him online and finding out he’s legit, we immediately got into a fight about how to handle the whole thing. Please be our referee! — B.T. Dear B.T.: It is a good thing that you have done your homework and not let your daughter be led into a scam of some sort in which her self-esteem probably would not be the only thing to suffer. But there are many issues to consider when looking at a career in modeling. Has your daughter ever expressed an interest in such a focus? If she is intrigued by the whole thing, it would behoove you to do a lot more research into just what kind of mental toughness goes into making a successful career in this grueling and sometimes cruel world.

As we continue to recover from economic downfall and a dwindling job market, this nation’s workforce waits anxiously for stability to return. Americans are wondering when they can return to a stable job that will create a sustainable future for American ingenuity. Nowhere is the need greater than in Detroit. Like so many cities across the United States, Detroit has suffered job losses as a result of the global recession, compounded by the effects of economic globalization. Many of the jobs Detroit lost will never return. Now is the time for more innovative solutions, not despair. Why? Because, although 2010 census data indeed show Detroit’s population declining drastically in the past decade, young people are beginning to move here again because they see opportunity. They see that the City of Detroit has been working to attract a new, green kind of job, in manufacturing and energy services. These young professionals know, as we do, that rebuilding our city will depend upon the new ideas, creativity and investment they bring to the community. They see that Detroit has the potential to be a leader in the new green economy. It is an international border city and a domestic transportation hub. It has affordable housing, large fresh water supplies, and a long waterfront, assets that make it attractive to businesses and immigrants. In fact, our potential has not gone unnoticed and we are beginning to see successes, such as our car battery plant for the Chevy Volt and new solar panel installation companies. Other companies are employing engineersto develop better-performing wind turbines and machinists to build motorized devices that convert sunlight to electricity. A report published by the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth in 2010 showed southeastern Michigan with over 67,000 “green” jobs in, a majority of which were concentrated in Detroit and count among its most dynamic. The report defined green jobs as “jobs directly or indirectly involved in generating a firm’s green-related products or services.” It defined the state’s green economy as comprised of industries that provide products or services in five broad areas: Agriculture and Natural Resource Conservation, Clean Transportation and Fuels, Increased Energy Efficiency, Pollution Prevention or Environmental Cleanup, and Renewable Energy Production. This modest success could be just the beginning. According to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust, U.S. clean-energy jobs grew by 9.1 percent in the past decade, achieving a double bottom line of economic growth and environmental sustainability. Unfortunately, many of our national political leaders don’t grasp the magnitude that greening the economy is a key component of both job creation and stable economic growth. They continue to favor old line industry over 21stcentury sectors. Consequently, as we saw in the most recent Pew Charitable Trusts Clean Energy Report, American private equity investment in clean energy already lags behind its Asian and European counterparts in relative terms. China, not the U.S., leads the world in overall clean-energy financing and investment, pouring an estimated $34 billion into the industry. The federal government has a responsibility to act sooner rather than later. We need to address the structural challenges facing our economy: dependence on oil from the increasingly volatile Middle East and the flight of high-skilled labor and competition from cities like Detroit to emerging markets.

Detroit can be a leader in green manufacturing, battery technology, and creative uses for under-utilized land. Until comprehensive reform is jump-started in Washington, states and cities have important roles to play in establishing the green economy. They can enact energy-efficiency standards and spur renewable-energy generation through regional initiatives. Both have the power to encourage local investment with targeted tax incentives and rebates. The Michigan State Government is already retraining workers for jobs in green building and engineering — making the local investment climate more appealing to clean-energy companies. And the City of Detroit has made a start, courting green manufacturers and exploring ways to capitalize on urban agriculture. Detroit is also looking at a number of initiatives including: shared services to reduce consumption, greening the City’s fleet, and supporting local community gardens and green schools, in addition to tree planting efforts. The politicians in D.C. are slow to catch on, but the American public, local and state policymakers know it’s time for action, because the public knows it is all about jobs. Watching this opportunity pass by is simply not an option — too many paychecks are at stake. We do not intend to stop until we have created millions of green jobs, exporting the best clean-energy technologies and products around the world. We call upon those in the nation’s capital to help us make it happen. (Mayor Dave Bing is the mayor of Detroit, Mich.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution In the days following the budget deal to stave off a government shutdown, the news was filled with reports on what the measure actually contained. Stories focused on the bits of budgetary hocus-pocus that got the White House and lawmakers to $38 billion in cuts, what was actually in those cuts, and the stray bits of policy-making that had nothing to do with reducing the deficit. But the news seemed to miss the most important point: the whole process got things exactly backward. The way Congress used to work, budgets were crafted by a series of committees holding public hearings and debating separate appropriation bills. There was the occasional last-minute surprise, of course, but for the most part the process was organized and transparent. Our elected representatives knew what was coming and had the opportunity to shape it, and the American people knew whom to hold accountable for what. This budget deal, on the other hand, was put together behind closed doors by a handful of people striving to meet a doomsday deadline, handed off to unelected staff and a few legislators to work out the details, and then presented to the bulk of Congress for a take-it-orleave-it vote. In some instances, no one has admitted responsibility for last-minute maneuvers that changed established policy; they emerged from the black box of negotiations as if untouched by human hands. Call me old-fashioned, but I fail to see either the “representative” or the “democracy” parts of our representative democracy at work here. Yet the concerns expressed by many members of Congress in the lead-up to their vote on the agreement had nothing to do with how they’d been shunted to the sidelines. Rather, they complained about what they’d learned was in the measure — especially, among conservatives, the revelation that the deal did not cut spending as deeply as had been advertised. Meanwhile, congressional leaders, according to The New York Times, were “rueful” that a final vote had to be delayed an extra day, “giving opposition an extra day to build.” In other words, leaders didn’t want legislators to find out what was in the bill because this would worsen its chances of passage. What’s especially worrisome is that Congress seems to have gotten addicted to this seat-of-the-pants style of legislating. The next issue on its plate is the looming deadline to raise the debt ceiling, and it’s a good bet that once again we’ll be treated to the spectacle of last-minute negotiations, recalcitrant caucuses trying to hold the other side’s feet to the fire, and a dismaying sense of confusion in Washington. The ability of the government to function and its financial credibility both at home and overseas grows more tenuous with every passing day. And only when it’s all over will we find out what actually took place. This is no way to run a country, let alone a democracy. Comedian Jay Leno put it best: “A lot of people wonder what a government shutdown would be like,” he said. “I think a lot more people wonder what a government running properly would be like.” Why is last-minute, dead-of-night negotiating among a few leaders so bad? For two major reasons. The first is its effect on government. As a shutdown loomed, public and private managers dependent on government funding found it impossible to plan ahead; agencies were forced to halt projects in midstream because the money they needed to continue hadn’t arrived on time; thousands of federal workers and contractors had no idea whether their programs would be shutting down; and confusion over which employees and which programs were essential paralyzed Washington and federal offices around the country. Even more pernicious, the habit of cramming the federal budget — and other major legislation — into last-minute deals concentrates far too much power in the hands of a few leaders and staff members, effectively shutting most of the people who represent you and me out of the process. It also presents unparalleled opportunities for lobbyists pushing hard for narrow special-interest provisions to thrive in the confusion and shadows. It’s safe to say that some of them had more say in the recent budget deal than most members of Congress. There is an answer to all this, and it’s a return to the procedure for crafting budgets that Congress developed over many decades of experience — committee hearings on individual spending bills, floor action allowing for an orderly amendment process, open conference committees, and then final votes in which every member knows precisely what he or she is voting on. That Congress has allowed itself to move so far from that time-honored process raises deeply disturbing questions about this government’s ability to govern.

THURSDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 8 Wednesday, April 28, 2011 Goodell: NFL preparing for every contingency MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — NFL players urged a federal judge Wednesday to deny the league’s request to essentially restore the lockout, saying their careers were at stake. Commissioner Roger Goodell, meanwhile, said owners were preparing for every contingency. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson is weighing a request from the owners for a stay, which means the injunction she issued to stop the lockout would be frozen during the appeals process. The waiting game was on. “You have to react to the judgment and make sure it’s done in an orderly process,” Goodell said Wednesday during a predraft event in New York. The players dismissed the NFL’s argument that it risks either violating antitrust laws by coming up with new league rules without a collective bargaining system in place or harming the league’s competitive balance by a potential free agency free-for-all. “If the NFL defendants are faced with a dilemma, they put themselves in that position by repeatedly imposing rules and restrictions that violate the antitrust laws,” the attorneys wrote. “Any alleged predicament is of their own making.” The solution, the players argued, is to simply implement a system that does not violate antitrust laws. “There is no reason why the NFL defendants cannot devise a lawful player system, and their complaints about potential antitrust scrutiny are not well-founded where such scrutiny is a reality of doing business,” they wrote. If Nelson grants the league’s request, players want the NFL to post a $1 billion bond, roughly 25 percent of player compensation last year. An NFL attorney said the bond “raises significant issues” the league hasn’t yet addressed and received permission from Nelson to file a brief written response later Wednesday. If Nelson denies the league’s expedited motion for a stay, the owners will ask the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis for the same thing. They’re also asking the appeals court, viewed as a more friendly venue to the league than the federal courts in Minnesota, to overturn Nelson’s decision. The NFL draft starts Thursday night, but it will be far from normal. The lockout has prevented teams from adding free agents and adjusting their rosters, so their strategy this year is more complicated, not knowing exactly when they’ll have a chance to sign or trade for veterans to stock various positions. The players argued that the absence of free agency this offseason has hurt them greatly. “Players should be marketing their services to find the right team in which they have the best chance to make a roster, be a starter or otherwise advance their careers,” attorneys for the players wrote. “This process requires an extended period of time to play out in a fair manner for all players, and any elimination or compression of this free agency period will lead to a set of scrambled outcomes and harms to different players that cannot be undone.” Repeatedly in Wednesday’s filing, the players took an argument the league has made and turned it into their own. They referred to Goodell’s expression of concern that the longer the uncertainty around the 2011 season continues, the worse it is for everyone involved. The players said teams won’t be harmed if the judge denies the motion for a stay, meaning the NFL would be back in business. “This is the only way to preserve the of other Bears couldn’t use the team’s weight room. “I’m trying to eat healthy and work out, do my job and right now I’m just stuck at home working out and watching cartoons all day. “What’s up with that? Let me get back to what I do best.” That could take a while. The 2011 season, and the business between 32 teams and their thousands of anxious players, are in a holding pattern. The NFL said Tuesday that it needed “a few days to sort this out” and provide some rules for everyone to follow. “We are in the process of determining throughout the league as to just how we’ll proceed and when we’ll open the new year across the league, the new football year,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We have not done that.” In a question-and-answer memo distributed by the NFL Players Association and obtained by The Associated Press, free agents were told they can contact teams and shop their services, putting pressure on the NFL to set up a free-agency system that complies with antitrust laws. The document also told players that teams are responsible for care of any football-related injury, meaning it’s “safer for players to work out on club property.” NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash said it was too soon to tell exactly when free agency would begin and which players would be eligible. He expressed optimism and confidence about the league’s case — and the appellate court. “On these issues in particular, the history of appeals court rulings has been quite different from how trial courts have looked at this,” Pash said. “We feel we have very credible legal arguments to assert, and we’ll know in a short period of time whether we’re right or not.” 2011 season announced by the NFL, given the need to sign free agents, to complete the NFL draft and sign drafted players, to plan and to hold training camp, and to plan for the season itself,” the players wrote. “Denying a stay will enable the NFL defendants to go back to operating their multibillion-dollar business and making enormous amounts of money, as they did previously.” Matthew Cantor, an antitrust specialist with Constantine Cannon in New York, said he sees the NFL’s dilemma as legitimate. “I think they are between a rock and a hard place, and that’s one of the problems with allowing this antitrust suit to continue, rather than collectively bargaining,” he said. Can they work this out? Cantor said he talks to go forward even with the court matters pending. Court-ordered mediation is scheduled to resume May 16. “I think anything is possible,” Cantor said. “You’re talking about billions of bucks, where everybody at the end of the day makes out very nicely. It would really defy economic logic for them not to go forward with the 2011 season.” The NFL has said it expects a hearing from the 8th Circuit by early June, though the players said the length and outcome of the appeal is unknown and every day “players will continue to suffer significant harm.” Some players tried to go back to work Tuesday, but most who did were told they couldn’t work out at team facilities once they entered the building in one of the oddest days in league history. Most left in a matter of minutes with more questions than answers. “It drives me insane, that’s what it does,” said Chicago rookie J’Marcus Webb, who was told he and a handful Tribune - Sentinel - Register C L A S S I F I E D MARKETPLACE 6000 Employment Houses For Sale Child/Elderly Care Home for sale 4073 SR 588 2600 sq ft & full basement & garage. 1.31 acres, 4 BR 2.5 BA cherry cabinetry, hardwood floors, travertine tile.

Green NFL Draft: Who will your team pick? Rebuilding Browns looking for help BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Let’s see, a game-changing wide receiver for quarterback Colt McCoy. A getafter-the-quarterback pass rusher for new coach Pat Shurmur’s defensive front. A right tackle. A linebacker or two. A few special teamtypes with upside. Maybe a kicker or a cornerback. The Cleveland Browns have a lengthy shopping list for the NFL draft. In fact, there isn’t much they don’t need. “We have some holes to fill all over the place,” general manager Tom Heckert said. “We still have holes on offense and defense.” The question is: which ones to fill first? With the No. 6 overall selection on Thursday night and three picks in the Top 70, the Browns, who have spent the past decade in rebuilding mode and again changed coaches this winter, hope to plug some of those openings and address shortcomings they’ve yet to fix. Uncertainty at the top of the draft board makes it hard to guess who may be available when the Browns’ turn arrives in Round One. Heckert intends to abide by the team’s philosophy of taking the best player available — regardless of position or need. “Everybody says that, but we are going to try to do that,” said Heckert, who had a strong draft last year. “We are probably in a better position to do that than some teams. Some teams may be one or two positions away from being really good, so I think it’s probably a positive for us that we can sit there and take the best available player.” There’s certainly enough quality atop Cleveland’s draft board to get help. LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson, Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green, Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers, Texas A&M linebacker Vonn Miller, North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn, Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones and Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley could all be in play for the Browns. Publicly, at least, the Browns have been saying they don’t need a quarterback. McCoy showed enough promise last season — and not with a lot of help — to convince Heckert and team president Mike Holmgren that it’s worth investing another full season into his development. Still, they’ll likely pick a quarterback at some point. Beyond that, it’s vital that Cleveland upgrades its wide receiving corps for McCoy, who will be running Shurmur’s West Coast offense, a passing heavy attack that requires receivers to run crisp routes — and over the middle. With size, speed and strength, Green and Jones are ideal fits. Heckert said both are suited for the Browns’ new system. Heckert was particularly effusive during a pre-draft news conference in praising Jones, who caught 78 passes for 1,133 yards last season. Jones played through injuries and put his toughness on display at the NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.34 40-yard dash, two days after learning he had a stress fracture in his foot. “It shows how tough the kid is,” Heckert said. “He’s obviously a good player. He is a big, fast kid. He is a great kid and I think he is a really good player.” Heckert, though, could be reluctant to use a Top 10 pick on a wide receiver. He’s seen that patience can pay handsomely. When he was GM of the Philadelphia Eagles, Heckert waited until the second round in 2008 before drafting speedburner DeSean Jackson at No. 49. Jackson, who dropped from the first round because of his small frame, was the seventh wide receiver taken. He’s now a Pro Bowler and one of the league’s most electrifying players. “That’s what you kind of hope for in the draft is you get guys in the second round that you have rated way up in the first round,” Heckert said. “That’s what happened with DeSean. That’s the best case scenario, you are thinking about guys in the second round and somebody you had in the first round falls to you. “That’s great if you can do it, and I hope we can.” If the Browns wait until the second round for a receiver, Boise State’s Titus Young or Miami’s Leonard Hankerson could be options. Heckert wouldn’t identify the Browns’ biggest need, sidestepping the question. But defensive line is either Priority 1 or 1a. Cleveland’s front seven is being reshaped under Shurmur from a 3-4 to a 43 alignment, and there’s currently a sizable void in the Browns’ roster of capable defensive ends — a position that many experts believe is the deepest in this year’s draft. Bowers, Quinn and Fairley are regarded as the best defensive linemen of a stellar class, but each comes with major question marks. Bowers led the nation with 15.5 sacks as a junior last season, but his stock has dropped because of concerns over a surgically repaired knee. Quinn served an NCAA-imposed suspension for accepting gifts from an agent and didn’t play a down in 2010. Fairley, once considered a possible No. 1 overall pick, has been fending off critics of his work ethic and character. Heckert doesn’t view any of them as risky, and said he’ll base his choices on what he knows about a player. “You watch the tape, you make your decision and you go from there,” he said. “We’ve looked at it all and we’ll make the organizational decision on all these guys that have issues.” The Browns don’t have quite as many issues after Heckert scored big in his first draft with Cleveland. Last April, he selected cornerback Joe Haden, who led the club with six interceptions, hard-hitting safety T.J. Ward and McCoy with his first three picks. Those picks have the Browns headed in the right direction. It’s up to Heckert to keep them going that way. Bengals looking at QBs among top 2 picks CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton. Blaine Gabbert. Christian Ponder. The Bengals have watched each of the quarterbacks throw in private workouts the last few weeks, imagining how each might fit into an offense that’s currently in upheaval. One of them might wind up in town this weekend, starting an extended stay. The Bengals found themselves needing a quarterback when Carson Palmer decided after last season that he’s had enough and won’t be back. Younger brother Jordan Palmer is working out with Bengals receivers in California this week, assuming the role of No. 1 quarterback. That could change. Cincinnati isn’t likely to take a quarterback with the fourth overall pick in the first round. The Bengals are more likely to try to add a playmaker to their defense or look for a receiver to replace Chad Ochocinco. “There comes a great value with that pick,” Marvin Lewis said on Monday, “and we want to make sure, in every pick that we make, that we get a player that meets that value and we feel real good about him in that particular slot.” The Bengals think a desirable quarterback could be left in the second round. They’ve been sizing them up since the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., in January, shortly after Carson Palmer threatened to retire if he’s not traded by a franchise that has two winning records in the last 20 years. “I think it’s public, common knowledge that we spent a lot of time with all of these guys, from the time we spent in Mobile all the way through this past weekend,” Lewis said. “So it gives us a chance, I think, to know the guys. There is some depth. “I think they all have some great attributes. I think the one thing that’s common in all of them: They’ve been great leaders for their football team, and I think that’s a good attribute to have as a quarterback coming into the National Football League.” No matter what happens, the Bengals will still have a problem at the most important position. Carson Palmer’s frustration with the franchise boiled over in January, when he asked for a trade. Owner Mike Brown has refused. The sides haven’t talked since the owners locked out the players as part of their dispute over a collective bargaining agreement. Jordan Palmer was promoted to No. 2 quarterback last season, but has little game experience. He has played in four games the past two seasons, going 10 of 15 for 59 yards with two interceptions. He has never started an NFL game. The No. 3 quarterback is Dan LeFevour, who was a rookie from Central Michigan last season and never played in a game. The Bengals are trying to change offenses under new coordinator Jay Gruden, but can’t have contact with players. If they draft a quarterback, they won’t be able to work with him, either, while the labor dispute lingers. When the dispute is settled, they could sign a veteran or try to trade for one, but he would arrive without experience in the system or familiarity with teammates. It’s not a good situation. The other muddled matter involves the receivers. Ochocinco still has a locker and a year left on his deal, but it’s unclear if the Bengals want him back. He’s spent the offseason playing soccer and traveling. He’s not participating in the workouts in California with Jordan Palmer and the Bengals’ receivers, tight ends and running backs. Georgia’s A.J. Green is ranked as one of the top college receivers of the last few years and is likely to be available at No. 4.

Never has it been accompanied by so much uncertainty. Not just who will go first overall — the betting favorite is Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton — but who goes where and when beyond that. Will the Patriots trade down again and again, as they always seem to do? Or will the Jets trade up, as they normally do? This year, the selection process has the added element of players being locked out by owners, and a judge temporarily blocking the lockout earlier this week. Should the league be forced to reopen for business before or during the draft, the result could be even more chaos. “The world doesn’t stop spinning, we have to keep running and working,” Baylor guard Danny Watkins said Monday. “It’s just disappointing the timing of it, but there’s nothing we can do about it.” Nothing except prepare for Thursday night’s opening round of the three-day extravaganza that has been the league’s only order of business since the lockout began March 12. A record 25 players accepted invitations to attend the draft itself, and 13 were on hand Wednesday for an NFL event with youngsters. A dozen of them spoke to the media afterward. After the young campers were done, Newton skipped out. He took a few minutes to high-five some kids and sign autographs before slipping out a side entrance with a few associates and into a waiting SUV. The other players expressed little concern the labor impasse would affect the 2011 season. “This is America’s game,” LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson said. “I can’t see the world without NFL football.” While matters are worked out in Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s court in Minnesota, the draft is the only game in town. There were concerns that pressure from the locked-out players would persuade many likely high-round draftees to skip the trip to New York. Not a consideration, many of them said after gathering around Commissioner Roger Goodell during a pep talk to the youngsters of Play 60, the NFL’s youth health and fitness campaign. One intriguing twist involves Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, the only college player named as a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit. Nine pros, including Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, are plaintiffs, too, but Miller can’t wait to share the joy with Goodell. “I think he’s handled the situation well,” said Miller, projected to go in the top five and considered by some the most NFL-ready talent in the entire draft. “There’s no animosity between me and him. I love him. I plan on giving him a hug when I walk across the stage.” �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 10 Wednesday, April 28, 2011 Tornadoes 3rd, Lady Tornadoes 4th at NYHS meet Weight classes changed in prep wrestling BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM NELSONVILLE, Ohio — The track teams from Southern and Wahama high schools took part in a seven team meet at Nelsonville-York High School on Tuesday evening.

Point Pleasant outlasts Red Devils, 8-7 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM R AV E N S W O O D , W.Va. — Offense dominated the game, but defense ultimately decided the outcome Tuesday night as the Point Pleasant basebal team held on for an 8-7 victory over visiting Ravenswood in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. Both the Big Blacks (14-4) and RHS knocked out 10 hits apiece in the contest, but a Ravenswood error in the bottom of the sixth allowed the hosts to score four runs and break open a 4-all tie headed into the final frame. The Red Devils (7-9) retaliated with three runs in the top of the seventh and also had the tying run on second base with two outs, but Eric Roberts Stouffer Cavender induced a ground ball putout to wrap up the come-from-behind win — Point’s fourth straight victory overall. Ravenswood stormed out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, then tacked on two runs in the third and another in the fifth for a comfortable 40 cushion through four and a half frames. PPHS, however, found its offensive rhythm in the bottom of the fifth, as the hosts rallied for four scores to knot things up at four apiece through five complete. The Big Blacks had a pair of runners on base with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, then came the lone error of the contest — which allowed Point to plate a score for its first lead of the night at 5-4. Jason Stouffer followed with his second consecutive two-RBI single of the game, giving the hosts a 7-4 advantage. Justin Cavender followed with an RBI single, ending the four-run outburst for an 8-4 lead headed into the seventh. Roberts ended up being the winning pitcher of record after replacing starter Levi Russell in the fourth. Luke Corley went the distance for RHS in the setback. Cavender led the hosts with three hits, followed by Stouffer and Roberts with two safeties each.
