WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2011 Underspeed vehicles ordinance reaches Middleport council BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council held the first reading on an ordinance to allow under-speed vehicles on its streets, after months of discussion and debate about the vehicles’ safety. The proposed ordinance will take effect if council approves it after a third and final reading. It would allow the golf carttype vehicles to operate on most village streets, with some major thoroughfares excepted. While some see the vehicles as golf carts, they are not, supporters of their use say. They are licensed and inspected and safe for operation. State law allows these vehicles to be licensed, after inspection, as long as they are driven on roadways with speed limits of 35 or less and under other requirements. Middleport has a speed limit of 25 or less. By state definition, USV’s must be inspected and registered before they are permitted, and that service is now provided through the county sheriff. The vehicles must bear valid license plates and registration stickers, two headlights and other safety lights, windshield and a wiper. Other business Mayor Michael Gerlach said the company that installed the village’s new water lines last year is about to return to Middleport to make repairs to private property needed as a result of the work. Anyone with yard repairs or other work to be completed by the contractor should contact the public works department, Gerlach said. OBITUARIES Page A5 • Ben Nutter Council will consider an ordinance governing summer yard and garage sales. The proposed ordinance would limit yard sales to three days, twice each year. Council President Rae Moore said she agrees yard sales should be more closely regulated, but she noted many in the community rely on the sales to supplement their income, and said council should be sensitive to that fact given the current economic climate. Council also: • Approved hiring Tyson Lee, Middleport, as a parttime police officer. He will replace two officers, one of whom is now on limited duty and another who is leaving the force. • Approved the mayor’s report of fees and fines collected in May, in the amount of $5,553.68. • Approved monthly reports from the public works, finance, refuse and income tax departments. Attending were Gerlach, Moore, Fiscal Officer Susan Baker and members of council: Sandy Brown, Craig Wehrung, Julia Houston, Shawn Rice and Emerson Heighton. Pomeroy clerk-treasurer to retire BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council will have to begin the search for a new clerktreasurer. At this week’s meeting, Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Hysell announced she’d be retiring, likely in late August, and wished to give council time to find her replacement. Hysell’s position is elected and her term doesn’t end until March 2012. Council members discussed forming a committee, with Hysell as an advisor, to help find that replacement. Pomeroy Village Council has already passed an ordinance to create an appointed (as opposed to elected) position of fiscal officer, though this is not to take effect until Hysell’s term is up next March. Also discussed: Residents Sherman and Terri Hoschar asked for an update on the flooding issues in Monkey Run; specifically if the Ohio Department of Transportation has been able to insert a portable camera into a culvert to determine if it has collapsed. Council President Jackie Welker (who was sitting in for an absent Mayor John Musser) and Village Administrator Paul Hellman said ODOT informed the village the camera is being repaired but is trying to make it ready, ASAP, for the project. The Hoschars also asked about the status of Celebration services announced P O M E R O Y – Celebration Services will be held at the New Beginnings U.M. Church, Pomeroy, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. At 7 p.m. on Thursday, the service will be held at the church with the Rev. Brent Watson as the speaker and Katie Reed singing along with the Heath-New Beginnings Choir. On Friday at 7 p.m. on the Pomeroy parking lot the church will take part in the “Kickin’ Summer Bash” festival where again the Rev. Brent Watson will speak with the Elizabeth Chapel Praise Band of Gallipolis leading worship. Saturday’s service will begin with a community dinner at the church with Rev. Watson again speaking and there will be special music by B. J. SmithKreseen and the Bradford Church of Christ Choir. The Rev. Brian Dunham is pastor of the church. www.mydailysentinel.com TRIBUTE TO SCOUTING The current exhibit at the Meigs County Museum focuses on activites of local Boy Scouts, including these members of Chester Troop 235, Chester.

Huntsman getting into GOP race MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican who served as President Barack Obama's ambassador to China until this spring, is running for president in hopes of defeating Obama. "I intend to announce my candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America a week from today," Huntsman said Tuesday during a discussion about China policy in New York with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The Republican is planning an event to mark his entry into the race on June 21 at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, with the Statue of Liberty in the background, according to officials familiar with Huntsman's thinking. They spoke on condition of anonymity because his schedule had not been announced. Huntsman, a two-term governor from a conservative state whose moderate stances on some issues and service under the Democratic president could hurt him with the Republican Party's rightleaning base, enters a GOP presidential field that's growing almost by the day. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann announced her candidacy on Monday in New Hampshire during a sevencandidate debate in which Huntsman did not participate. He had said he would not participate in debates until he made a final decision about a White House run. Even so, his entrance into the race has been all but certain for weeks. Since returning from China over a month ago, Huntsman has focused on laying the groundwork for a full-fledged candidacy. Last weekend, he made his third trip to New Hampshire, and he has been building a national campaign to be based in Orlando, Fla. Huntsman's campaign is to begin in earnest next week at the northern New Jersey park where President Ronald Reagan began his 1980 White House run, the officials said, noting Huntsman worked as a staff assistant in the Reagan White House. From there, Huntsman plans to travel to New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary state, and Florida, a perennial battleground and host of the 2012 GOP nominating convention. He also plans stops in his home state of Utah and in the early caucus state of Nevada. Over the past few weeks, Huntsman has honed a message of service to country and has called for civil political discourse. In a field lacking deep foreign policy credentials, Huntsman is pitching himself as a politician with international experience who would help the United States' economy rebound. It's an attempt to appeal to segments of the GOP that care both about foreign policy and domestic prosperity. The telegenic former governor has a ready fundraising apparatus. He's personally wealthy and could dip into that fortune for a run. He also has strong ties to the Mormon community, which has shown a willingness to support politicians who are of the faith. Still, Huntsman's challenges are great. Although he has served in three Republican administrations, he also served in Obama's administration and that is certain to irk some GOP primary voters, most of whom oppose the Democratic president. "Accepting an assignment from everyone's president during a time of war, during a time of economic hardship is putting your country first," Huntsman has said. "I won't shy away from that. ... If someone wants to hold that against me, they can." Huntsman also is not well-known. He ranks in the single digits in early national polls as well as surveys in early nominating states. But many GOP primary voters are undecided, and many conservatives are looking for an alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is making his second bid for the GOP nomination. While Huntsman's record on abortion and gun rights is solidly conservative, his positions on climate change and civil unions for same-sex couples are not. As governor, he backed bills providing civil rights protections to gays and lesbians, and he has said humans have had a role in climate change. Huntsman's Mormon faith also is a hurdle in key nominating states. Romney — a fellow Mormon — discovered as much during his failed 2008 bid. He couldn't persuade evangelical voters who are influential in primaries in Iowa and South Carolina to overlook their skepticism. Huntsman already has said he would bypass Iowa, which holds the lead-off caucuses in February 2012. Instead, his campaign would begin in New Hampshire, where independent voters can cast ballots in either party's primary and are the state's largest political bloc. From here, Huntsman would compete in South Carolina and Florida in hopes of building momentum and stripping Romney of his front-runner status. Huntsman long had been considered a potential challenger to Obama in 2012. Obama offered Huntsman, a speaker of Mandarin, the China job in 2009. The White House was credited by insiders with vanquishing a GOP rival. Crews race to build up levee ahead of floodwaters HAMBURG, Iowa (AP) — Workers raced Tuesday to add several feet to a temporary levee that is now the only barrier between the small town of Hamburg and the menace of the rising Missouri River. Crews from the Army Corps of Engineers planned to increase the levee's height by three feet. But time was short and the stakes were high: If the levee were to fail, parts of this southwestern Iowa community could be under as much as 10 feet of water within days. The temporary earthen levee became the last line of defense for Hamburg after the river ruptured two levees in northwest Missouri on Monday, sending torrents of water over rural farmland toward Hamburg and a Missouri resort community downriver. The Army Corps does not expect those floodwaters to reach Hamburg until at least sometime Wednesday. Initially, the floodwaters were projected to reach Hamburg on Tuesday. The Missouri River is rising because the corps has been releasing massive amounts of water from its dams to clear out heavy spring rain and snowmelt. Those releases at Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota hit the maximum planned amount Tuesday morning. So officials downstream in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri will be watching closely for more levee problems. Parts of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, have already seen some flooding, and officials predict the problems will linger through the summer because of the large volume of water already in the river, and the above-average Rocky Mountain snowpack. About 45 miles south of Hamburg in Missouri, the river broke through a levee near Big Lake in Holt County. About 30 residents had stayed in the resort town after the river started rising, but they were told to leave Monday. When work is complete in Hamburg, a town of 1,100 people, the finished levee should be about eight feet tall. To help buy some additional time for the levee improvements, the corps said it planned to intentionally breach the main levee that failed Monday at a point downstream. Doing so should slow the flow of water. The corps started building the new Hamburg levee last week after finding problems in the main levee in Missouri that failed Monday. If Hamburg's new levee were to fail later this week, parts of the town could be covered by as much as 10 feet of standing water for months. Several businesses near the remaining levee stood empty Tuesday, as crews continued to move dirt around the new earthen levee to protect Hamburg. Todd Morgan with A&M Green Power Group says the owners of the John Deere dealership had relocated their business to one of the company's other dealerships in Shenandoah 25 miles away. "We wanted to play it safe than sorry," Morgan said. "Every day that goes by, you seem to hear something different. With the breach yesterday, we just don't know what the integrity of that levee is." Morgan said he doesn't know whether the dealership will return. Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope said all but seven of the roughly 40 households in the southern part of Hamburg have evacuated voluntarily. The remaining seven have moved all of their furniture and can escape quickly if the town is flooded, he said. Aistrope said the department has summoned 20 part-time reserve deputies, in addition to the regular eightmember staff, to help with law enforcement and traffic. Boehner adds to calls for Weiner resignation WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday joined President Barack Obama and a chorus of other Democrats in suggesting that Rep. Anthony Weiner resign, while a member of Weiner's New York congressional delegation said she expects him to quit soon. Boehner, who until now has let Democrats wrestle with Weiner's sexually charged messages and photos to several women, responded with a one-word answer when reporters asked whether Weiner should quit. "Yes," he responded. Earlier, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., told reporters, "Hopefully, we are hearing he might resign in a couple of days." She did not say how she learned that Weiner may soon buckle under the pressure. Weiner is seeking professional help at an undisclosed location. His wife, State Department official Huma Abedin, is due back from an overseas trip early Wednesday. Rep. Rob Andrews, DN.J., said after a meeting of all House Democrats that 95 percent of the meeting concerned energy prices. He said Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi repeated her past statements. Pelosi has called for Weiner to resign. Andrews said there was no discussion of stripping Weiner of his assignment on the Energy and Commerce Committee. A House Democratic official said the caucus did not consider any action against Weiner because party members wanted to see whether the mounting pressure would persuade him to leave on his own. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he was not authorized to comment on the meeting. Obama's blunt words could help Democrats trying to oust Weiner. Cautious consumers could see lower prices ahead WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumers are spending cautiously in the face of still-high gasoline and grocery-store prices and restraining the economy's growth. But some relief could be on the way: Wholesale food prices dropped last month by the most in a year. And motorists are likely to face lower gasoline prices this summer. CEOs for the nation's largest companies say they plan to step up hiring over the next six months. Retail sales fell 0.2 percent in May, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. The first decline in nearly a year occurred mainly because Americans bought fewer cars. The drop in auto sales was 2.9 percent, the sharpest drop in 15 months. But it was largely because of temporary factors: Buyers received fewer dealer incentives, and dealers ran short on popular fuel-efficient models. The natural disasters in Japan disrupted shipments of cars and component parts to the United States. Excluding the drop in car sales, retail sales rose 0.3 percent. That gain seemed to please investors, who were expecting broad declines because of high gas prices. SWITCH TO NATIONWIDE® AND SAVE. Contact us about available discounts on your auto insurance.

In a rare foray into a congressman's ethical conduct, Obama said Weiner's actions were "highly inappropriate." "I think he's embarrassed himself. He's acknowledged that. He's embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately, there's going to be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that, if it was me, I would resign," the president said. Pelosi told reporters Monday, "I hope that the president having spoken and some leaders in Congress speaking out that Congressman Weiner will hear this and know that it's in his best interest for him to leave Congress." The cascade of raunchy photos and other revelations about the 46year-old married congressman has been a distraction for Democrats seeking an edge as they look ahead to the 2012 elections. Besides Pelosi, several other Democrats have called for Weiner to quit, including party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. �Page A4 OPINION Mitt Romney leaves GOP debate unscathed BY CHARLES BABINGTON ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — If Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich and other Republican presidential hopefuls feel they need to close the gap on frontrunner Mitt Romney, they didn't show it at the New Hampshire debate. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who leads in the early polls and fundraising efforts, had a surprisingly easy two hours Monday night. He looked calm and steady, criticizing President Barack Obama on the economy and health care while rarely being forced on the defensive despite some well-known vulnerabilities of his own. With New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary half a year away, the seven GOP candidates seemed more eager to introduce themselves to voters in the televised event than to start ripping each other. They rarely differed on major policies. All agreed that Obama has botched the economy and doesn't deserve a second term. Near the end of the debate, Romney said anyone on the stage would be a better president than Obama. That was high praise for littleknown candidate Herman Cain, libertarian hero Ron Paul and former Sen. Rick Santorum, who badly lost his last re-election bid in Pennsylvania. It also reflected how friendly everyone had been to Romney. If any candidate had nearly as pleasant an evening as Romney, it was Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. She made maximum use of CNN's live telecast to announce she was formally entering the race. And she showed a feisty but folksy style, perhaps grabbing an audience that many once thought would go to Sarah Palin, who was not present. Bachmann said Tuesday she decided to jump into the race at this time because she felt she had sufficient support and it was "the right thing to do." She said he wasn't worried about whether former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was going to join the race, saying there was plenty of room for other candidates. Before the debate, there were signs that Romney might be pressed harder on his record, especially the Massachusetts health care law that requires people to obtain health insurance. On Sunday, Pawlenty had derided the state law as "Obamneycare," because it served as a model for Obama's 2010 health care overhaul, which m a ny c o n s e r va t ive s detest. Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, seemed loath to revisit the issue Monday. CNN moderator John King pressed him three times to explain why he had used the term "Obamneycare." Finally, Pawlenty replied somewhat weakly that it was "a reflection of the president's comments that he designed Obamacare on the Massachusetts health care plan." In a nationally broadcast television appearance Tuesday morning, Pawlenty denied he'd pulled his punches in connection with the "Obamneycare" issue. "No, it's a term I used on a Sunday morning show to make the point that President Obama used the Massachusetts health plan as the blueprint," he said. " ... When pressed by the moderator, I did use that term again." King had no more luck enticing the other six contenders to comment on Romney's former support for legalized abortion, gay rights and gun control. He has switched his position on all those issues since his days as a Senate candidate and one-term governor in liberalleaning Massachusetts. King asked whether The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

After a pause, Cain said, "Case closed," and the discussion turned to other topics. The crowded stage and tight time constraints made it difficult to tease out meaningful differences between the candidates. Bachmann said that as president, she would not interfere with states that recognize same-sex marriages. Santorum and Romney said they support a constitutional amendment limiting marriage in all the states to one man and one woman. Bachmann jumped back in, saying she supported that too. But she had been asked earlier whether she would try to challenge state laws on a one-byone basis, a different question. Gingrich, the former House speaker who suffered a wholesale campaign staff defection last week, appeared rather grim and determined to show his toughness. In the opening greetings, when most candidates said little more than hello, Gingrich vowed "to end the Obama depression." That set the tone for an evening focused on the president, leaving Romney and his fellow Republicans unbruised. "It was a very friendly debate to say the least, which helps Romney," Republican adviser Greg Mueller said. "No one took center stage and emerged as the main challenger to Romney." A stiff challenge to Romney from the right "is there for the taking," Mueller said, "but did not happen tonight." Summer, fall and Christmas will pass before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary take place. Romney's rivals have plenty of time to mount their attacks. But on Monday in Manchester, they showed they are not ready yet. Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Against an Afghan drawdown It says something about America's combat fatigue that we're having a debate about the Afghan War utterly detached from events in the Afghan War. It doesn't matter that we've routed the Taliban from key strongholds, disrupted its safe havens in Pakistan and drastically weakened al-Qaida. It is taken as a given that we are failing in a pointless misadventure in the graveyard of empires. If the war were as hopeless as advertised, the surge of 30,000 troops President Barack Obama ordered in 2009 would have failed to achieve anything, let alone the successes of the past year. The Taliban are attempting with little success to fight back into their formerly uncontested territory in the south. The New York Times reports that in Kandahar province, "Taliban commanders who have ventured back for the new fighting season were detained or chased out of the area within hours of arriving from Pakistan." Throughout the south, "the insurgency is now mostly limited to small groups of local fighters who lay mines or carry out assassinations or suicide bombings in the cities, attacks that are more important psychologically than strategically." Cue the discussions in the Obama White House whether to throw this all away. When he ordered the surge, President Obama established a July 2011 deadline for beginning to pull back the additional troops. Strategically pointless and psychologically destructive on the ground, the deadline was a naked pander to the anti-war left. Ideally, the president should ignore it. To ask our troopers to win hard-fought ground at the cost of life and Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Rich Lowry limb, then hand it back to the enemy because White House politicos don't like how the war is polling, or because the perpetually wrong Vice President Joe Biden thinks he has a better idea than our generals about how to wage it, would be stupid, feckless and disgraceful. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said that every military defeat can be "summed up in two words: too late." If we begin a major pullout now, defeat in Afghanistan would be summed up by the words "too soon." We're told in ominous tones that the Afghan War is already 10 years old. For much of that period, though, we weren't heavily engaged. As late as January 2009, we had 34,000 troops in Afghanistan, a third of today's force. The counterinsurgency campaign only got fully under way the latter half of last year. We're told that there is no al-Qaida safe haven in Afghanistan. True enough, but only because we are denying it one. We're told that our goal in Afghanistan is ambiguous and our commitment endless. Neither is true. We seek to reduce the insurgency so that Afghan forces can eventually take on the fight themselves. Together with our allies, we've set a goal of the end of 2014 for the transition to the Afghans -- a clear, realistic endpoint for our current role. We're told that we can't afford the war's $10 billion-a-month cost. Sure, we could save something by pushing up our ultimate drawdown by roughly 12-18 months. But not enough to justify risking defeat. Everyone is understandably tired of (to quote Lyndon Johnson on Vietnam) this "bitch of a war." Afghanistan's social terrain is daunting, and it is no doubt fated to be a poorly governed mess of a country in the best of circumstances. The question is whether it is fated to be governed or partially controlled by violent extremists allied with international terrorists. The raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan has lent credence to Biden's alternative strategy of a light footprint coupled with counterterrorist strikes. He's hawking an alluring fantasy. If we effectively cede control of swathes of the country to the enemy, we will get less intelligence and an even more difficult Afghan government, as it hedges its bets between us and its resurgent enemies. President Obama's supporters want him to "declare victory and come home." That's a sound plan -- when he's achieved something like victory.

Mr. Hoschar offered to help fill the hole with Sakrete if the village paid for it - the village agreed to get estimates on the materials and to send village workers to help. Frank Laudermilt of Pleasant Ridge asked about corporation limits and deer hunting in the village, saying a friend was hunting on his property and was given a citation for hunting within the village limits though he believed he was outside the village limits. Laudermilt wanted clarification on the corporation limits. Welker said he’d have to check with Chief of Police Mark Proffitt about the incident. Council approved placing Village Solicitor Chris Tenoglia and his family on the village health insurance. Hysell said this won’t cost the village any money with Tenoglia being billed for his portion of the policy. Tenoglia will also furnish the money which goes into his health savings account. Hysell said Musser recommended passing the motion which did pass unanimously with the exception of Welker who abstained due to being related to Tenoglia. Council also approved paying $179 to the Village of Middleport to pay for a portion of sidewalk repair/installation Middleport is making just within the Pomeroy corporation limit. Council members present for the meeting were Welker, Jim Sisson, Pete Barnhart, Ruth Spaun, Phil Ohlinger, Vic Young. Ohio probe sought in pensions' currency dispute COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has asked for a state investigation into whether banks may have manipulated foreign exchange rates charged to Ohio pension funds and the state's injured worker insurance, potentially costing pensioners and businesses tens of millions of dollars over the past 12 years. In a letter Tuesday to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Mandel said he is concerned that the banks may have engaged in improper currency-trading practices "to maximize the banks' profits, at the expense of Ohio public servants, businesses and taxpayers." The request comes as a growing number of states are pursuing either investigations or lawsuits against two rival banks that provide foreign investment services to their pensions and other investment funds: State Street Corp. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Other states include California, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Massachusetts. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney's office also are investigating, according to a May regulatory filing by State Street. Bank of New York spokesman Kevin Heine said the company had no comment. A message was left seeking comment from State Street. Four of Ohio's five public pension funds — the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System, School Employees Retirement System of Ohio, State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio and the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund — have international investments handled by one of the two banks. Combined, they have roughly $39 billion invested in international securities. The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation hasn't held international investments since it was hit by a 2005 scandal, but Mandel said he'd like to know if exchange rates were manipulated prior to that time. Mandel, a Republican who took office in January, said his office only serves as custodian of the funds; the pension systems handle their own investment decisions. But it is his responsibility to see that the state's funds are properly handled. "I feel an obligation to sound the alarm and ring the bell when I feel that someone is taking advantage of the taxpayers," Mandel told The Associated Press. "So I feel one of my duties as watchdog of tax dollars and also retirement dollars, I feel obligated to initiate an investigation into whether or not some of these banks have been manipulating foreign currency exchange transfers in order to bilk taxpayers." Custodial banks like State Street and Bank of New York typically handle foreign currency transactions on international investments on behalf of their client pension funds. The business has been a significant source of their revenue.

Ohio boy buried; river search for brother ends ZANESVILLE (AP) — A funeral service was held Tuesday for a 3-year-old boy who drowned in a river in eastern Ohio, a day after crews officially ended their search for his missing 2-year-old brother. About 40 people attended the service for Ayden Cecil at a Zanesville funeral home, where they comforted the boys' parents, the Zanesville Times Recorder reported. He was later buried at Duncan Falls Cemetery. Ayden and his half brother, Anthony Tullius, wandered away from the family campsite at Ellis Dam early June 4, authorities said. Ayden's body was found a few hours later in the water about a mile below the dam. Crews searched for Anthony for more than a week with cadaver dogs, divers and rescue boats, but were unable to find him in the Muskingum River. "We hate it, but we have to stop at some point," said Chief J.D. Johnson of the Falls Township Volunteer Fire Department. The boys' parents, Kasey and Richard Klein Jr., have become involved in a dispute over a charitable fund set up in Ayden's memory by his grandparents, Kenneth and Candice Cecil of Zanesville. Candice Cecil said any money collected in the fund will go to a charity to help other children, but the Kleins said the money should go to them. "We were all they had," Richard Klein said. "We need that money." The Kleins filed a complaint Monday with the Zanesville police, but Chief Eric Lambes said there was nothing illegal about the Cecils' fund as long as the money is used for "what it's supposed to be used for." Kasey Klein questioned why her parents should control the fund. "Those were my boys," she said. Richard Klein wants any money received to go toward a headstone for the boys and "to help us recover." "Now we've lost control over every piece of this — the boys, the funeral, everything," Klein said. Candice Cecil said she was trying to make sure the money is used for the right things and that she and her husband would pay the funeral expenses.

The ridicule, the scorn, the unabashed delight seemingly everyone outside of South Beach is taking in his failure to win the NBA title — it’s all on him. When you make a spectacle of yourself and give the impression you’re above everyone else, as James did with his shockingly tone-deaf “Decision,” you have to back it up. Not only did James not live up to the hype he predicted, his ineffectiveness when it mattered most showed that his supporting cast in Cleveland might not have been the real problem. “I think it all comes down to the play,” said Steve Rosner, the cofounder of 16W Marketing. “He really did not play well in this final series. Everyone started reading articles comparing him to the greatest players in the game. Really, besides having some individual honors, he hasn’t put his stamp on the game of basketball.” Harsh, but hard to argue with when the title bestowed on James and Co. last summer wound up belonging to someone else. There is no question James is a spectacular talent, a once-in-a-generation player who can do things that defy both the imagination and the laws of physics. His back-toback MVP awards in 2009 and 2010 were well-deserved, and with 17,362 points in his first eight seasons, he likely will be among the NBA’s all-time leading scorers by the time his career ends. Statistics have little weight without a championship to back them up, though, and James is now 0 for 2 in the NBA finals. Accused of quitting in last year’s playoffs with Cleveland, James responded with a ferocity this year, dragging the Miami Heat through the early rounds. He’d become a national pariah after abandoning his beleaguered hometown in humiliating fashion, and he played like a man who knew the only way to salvage his reputation was with a title. But when the games were on the line against the Dallas Mavericks, James disappeared. He managed just 18 points in the fourth quarter of the six-game series, and his silence was a major factor in why the Mavericks were able to rally again and again. In the cardinal sin of sports, he didn’t seem to want it nearly as badly as Dirk Nowitzki, who played with a torn tendon in his finger and a 101degree fever. Or Jason Kidd, who showed no regard for his 38-year-old body as he repeatedly dived for loose balls. Or even James’ own teammate, Dwyane Wade, who scored a team-high 23 in Game 5 despite a bruised hip so painful it had him in the locker room twice for treatment. “Sometimes you got it, sometimes you don’t,” James said. “And that was this case in this series. I was able to do things in the last two series to help us win ballgames. Wasn’t able to do that in this series.” Lesser talents can get away with saying that — not that they ever would. But James made the move to Miami for the sole purpose of winning NBA titles, and that dismissive arrogance is exactly why fans rooted so hard against him and his buddies. And they still don’t get it, with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra having the audacity to talk about the “sacrifice” James made in coming to Miami. Former NFL player Pat Tillman giving up his life for his country, that’s a sacrifice. Giving up a few million — pocket change for someone who earned an estimated $48 million last year — to be part of the best team money can buy doesn’t compare. Look, James had every right to leave Cleveland. The days of a star staying with one team for his entire career are long gone, and it had to have been exhausting to be expected to revive a struggling Rust Belt city before his 25th birthday. But as Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert gloated Sunday night, there are no shortcuts, in life or the NBA. Nowitzki spurned last summer’s free agentpalooza to stay with the aging Mavericks — taking less money to do so — and was rewarded with a title. James turned his back on the city that revered him for what was essentially an All-Star team, only to discover that talent alone doesn’t win championships, and the best team on paper is not always the one left holding the trophy. “This is one of the unique teams in NBA history. Because it wasn’t about high-flying star power,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. “Come on, how often do we have to hear about the LeBron James reality show and what he is or isn’t doing? When are people going to talk about the purity of our game and what these guys accomplished? That’s what’s special.” Watching James go home empty-handed made millions of fans in and outside of Cleveland feel better. But it won’t dim the spotlight on James and his sidekicks, or lessen the pressure. If anything, the scrutiny only will get worse, as people start asking not when James will win a title, but whether he can. OSU’s Fickell says he was unaware of violations COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In his first solo moment in the spotlight as Ohio State’s interim coach, Luke Fickell made a point to graciously mention his deposed predecessor. He thanked Jim Tressel, forced to resign on May 30 as the heat escalated from an ongoing NCAA investigation, “for the opportunities he’s given me, for the friendship and for making me a better coach, husband and father.” Still, Fickell only referred to his ex-boss twice in almost 35 minutes before reporters on Monday. And he did make one major break when he said he didn’t know anything about any NCAA rules violations under Tressel’s watch. “I wasn’t going to say that I had blinders on, but (I was) very focused on the task at hand,” Fickell said. “I was not informed of any information until it became public knowledge.” Fickell spoke at an introductory news conference, during which he promised Buckeyes fans a team that would be about “respect, toughness and being men of action.” The 37-year-old Fickell is a former Ohio State player who has been on the staff for the last 10 years, coaching linebackers and, most recently, serving as codefensive coordinator. He said the ongoing problems at his alma mater have affected him. “I’m not saying I’m not disappointed, I’m not upset,” he said. “But again, we’re moving forward.” Fickell was selected to fill in when Tressel was suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for knowing players were accepting cash and discounted tattoos in exchange for memorabilia from a tattoo-parlor owner and failing to notify his superiors. After weeks of revelations and rumors, Tressel resigned under pressure two weeks ago amid an ongoing NCAA investigation of his ultrasuccessful program. In the hours that followed, Tressel spoke briefly with Fickell and gave him some simple advice: Be yourself. Smith also announced that Fickell’s two-year contract would be modified to pay him $775,000 a year in addition to some bonuses. Tressel was paid an estimated $3.5 million per season. He was 106-22 in his 10 seasons, leading the Buckeyes to the national championship in 2002. Fickell said he was contacted by Terrelle Pryor, one of the five players who was suspended for five games in the memorabilia-forcash scheme, while the star quarterback was making up his mind whether to return to Ohio State. The new coach said he never called Pryor back. Tribune - Sentinel - Register C L A S S I F I E D MARKETPLACE Automotive Want To Buy Want to buy Junk Cars, call 740388-0884 Oiler's Towing.

(AP) — Terrelle Pryor ended his silence Tuesday — for exactly 97 seconds. Speaking out for the first time since his college career at Ohio State ended embroiled in scandal, Pryor appeared with agent Drew Rosenhaus and gave a brief statement in which he apologized to the Buckeyes, to his former teammates and to now-departed coach Jim Tressel for his role in the mess that may take down one of America’s proudest programs. “I say sorry to all the Buckeye nation and all the Buckeye fans across the country,” Pryor said. “I never meant to hurt anybody directly or indirectly with my conduct off the field and I am truly sorry.” Pryor had already been suspended by Ohio State and the NCAA for the first five games of what would have been his senior season this fall for accepting improper benefits, such as cash and discounted tattoos. The scandal led to Tressel’s forced resignation. Tressel acknowledged knowing his players were taking improper benefits but covered it up for more than nine months before Ohio State officials discovered his knowledge. Pryor is Ohio State’s all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks, with 2,164 yards. He also threw 57 touchdown passes, tying a school record. “In terms of coach Jim Tressel, a special shoutout,” Pryor said. “I’m sorry for what all went down and I apologize with all my heart. I love you just like a father. You taught me a lot and I apologize for putting you in a situation and taking you out of a job and place that you loved to be. I regret the fact that you’re not there any more and I regret the fact that I’m not there any more.” The NCAA continues investigating all aspects of Ohio State’s athletic program, particularly the football team. Pryor may still be asked to cooperate with that investigation. However, his attorney Larry James said last week the quarterback feels no obligation to speak with NCAA investigators now that he is no longer enrolled at Ohio State. Rosenhaus, who famously once kept repeating “Next question” at a news conference he hosted about client Terrell Owens, took the tact of “No questions” on Tuesday. “I think I’ve said it all,” Rosenhaus said after he spoke for about six minutes in which, among other things, insisted he believes Pryor will be a firstround pick in this summer’s supplemental draft. “So I’d like to thank everybody for coming. Guys, we’re going to shut it down right now and I appreciate your time. Thank you.” Reporters shouted questions and followed Rosenhaus, Pryor, other members of the entourage and some security toward the hotel elevators, to no avail. As Rosenhaus was speaking during the event, Pryor mainly stared straight ahead, arms folded and resting on the table. He worked out Tuesday morning with a group including receiver Chad Ochocinco, who offered praise on Twitter. “With the right coaching after what I saw today with my own eyes he can be a great QB,” Ochocinco wrote. Pryor also said he wants to graduate from Ohio State, noting he’s nine credits short of his degree. AP Sports Briefs Fired Michigan coach Rodriguez joins CBS channel NEW YORK (AP) — Fired Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez has landed a college football broadcasting job at CBS Sports Network. The cable channel said Tuesday that Rodriguez would be a game and studio analyst for the upcoming season. He will team with announcer Dave Ryan and also be part of the network’s weekly studio show. He was a guest analyst for the channel during its national signing day coverage in February. The network formerly known as CBS College Sports shows Mountain West and Conference USA games and is in fewer than 40 percent of homes with televisions. Rodriguez spent three seasons at Michigan before he was dismissed in January. The ouster came after blowout losses to Ohio State and to Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. His record was 16-22, and the school was hit with NCAA sanctions for the first time because of rules violations while he was coach. NBA Finals give ABC best summer ratings in decade NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA’s championshipwinning game for the Dallas Mavericks was seen by nearly 24 million people. The Nielsen Co. says Sunday’s game led ABC to its most-watched week during the slow summer season in nearly 10 years. Nielsen said the Mavericks’ six-game series victory over the Miami Heat was seen by an average of 17.3 million people. That’s a little less than the average viewership for last year’s series between the Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics, which had the advantage of going a full seven games. The fourth, fifth and sixth games of the HeatMavericks series eclipsed those corresponding games last year despite the presence of the NBA’s most storied franchises. Many tuned in to see if LeBron James would win a championship after his much-maligned decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lawrence K. Ho/Los Angeles Times/MCT Chris Heisley of the Cincinnati Reds scores on a single by Paul Janish in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Votto, Heisey homer for Reds in win over Dodgers in bunches. But he’s throwing the ball as well as I’ve seen him since we got him, with consistent command and control, velocity and confidence.” Arroyo (5-6) outpitched Hiroki Kuroda for the second time in 11 days and singled home the go-ahead run for the Reds, who got homers from Joey Votto and Chris Heisey in the opener of a three-game series. Arroyo allowed four runs and seven hits over 7 2-3 innings with no walks in a rematch of his June 3 duel with Kuroda, which Cincinnati won 2-1. The Reds’ right-hander is 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last four starts against the Dodgers, after going 1-4 with a 4.67 ERA in his other nine starts against them. “Sometimes during the year you get locked in with a team that you feel good about,” Arroyo said. “I haven’t been feeling particularly great all season long, and the last time I faced them at our place, I threw a much worse game and got away with it and won 2-1. Tonight I felt like I had good, crisp stuff. It was cool out there, so I wasn’t exerting too much energy and my pitch count was pretty low.” Kuroda (5-8) was charged with four runs — two earned — and seven hits over 6 1-3 innings with six strikeouts and no walks. The 36-year-old right-hander is 0-5 with a 4.39 ERA in his last five starts, but his teammates have totaled just nine runs during that stretch. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dusty Baker sat at his desk after the game, scribbling Doug Jones’ name on the lineup card he removed from the dugout wall and signing it for closer Francisco Cordero — along with a couple of copies of the batting order slips that go to the umpires. The Cincinnati Reds manager made the gesture as a show of appreciation for the 36-yearold right-hander, who tied Jones for 20th place on the career saves list Monday night by striking out the final three batters to preserve Bronson Arroyo’s 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers narrowed the gap to 6-4 in the eighth with a runscoring triple by Dee Gordon, his first RBI in the majors, and a sacrifice fly by Aaron Miles. But Bill Bray struck out Andre Ethier to end the inning and Cordero fanned James Loney, pinch-hitter Rod Barajas and Dioner Navarro following a walk to NL home run leader Matt Kemp. It was Cordero’s 13th save in 15 chances this season and the 303rd of his career, one shy of Jeff Montgomery for 19th place and six away from Hall of Famer Goose Gossage. “It’s not over yet. I mean, almost every day he’s passing somebody,” Baker said. “I think he can pass a whole bunch of guys by the time this year’s over with. We just have to give him ample opportunities. We haven’t had a bunch of opportunities this year, and they usually come »»»» reen Go G » The Reds capitalized on a pair of errors by the Dodgers’ infield in the seventh to break open a 2-2 game. Gordon, a 23-year-old shortstop making his Dodger Stadium debut after getting called up from Triple-A during the team’s 5-5 road trip, botched a routine grounder by Ryan Hanigan leading off the inning. “I committed the error, but you’ve got to keep your head up and keep going,” Gordon said. Paul Janish followed with an apparent double-play grounder to Gordon, but the relay to first by Miles sailed into the photo well — allowing Janish to take an extra base on the error. Arroyo drove him in with his second single of the game, chasing Kuroda, and Votto hit a three-run homer off Matt Guerrier after a two-out walk to Brandon Phillips. Votto, the reigning NL MVP, is vying for his first batting title with a .333 average. The home run was his ninth of the season and first since his three-run shot against Clayton Kershaw on June 4 at Cincinnati. “The guy is very confident and he has a tremendous idea of what he’s doing out there because he studies,” Baker said. “He stays all business and comes to play. I mean, he has fun, but he’s basically a no-nonsense guy when the game starts. He’s just a pleasure to be around and he’s very easy to manage.” Gordon’s first error in the big leagues com- Save Money on Your T No V o P OC Utility Bills with oll ute Thermal Insulating Paint Jeff Warner Agent Jeff Warner Agency Nationwide Insurance for HOME • INDUSTRY • TRANSPORTATION Gheen’s Painting Inc. “T Long Bottom, Ohio hi No 1-800-554-5582 Pa nne 1-740-949-0405 in rs t ” 1-740-590-3700 On Your Side® ater W anup Cle COUPON $5.00 Gift Card with new or transferred prescriptions.

Main St • Pomeroy, OH • 740-992-2955 pounded an egregious mistake he made in the second inning — when he failed to touch second base on a potential double-play grounder by Miguel Cairo after taking the short flip from Miles. That cost the Dodgers an out — and a run, as Janish drove in Heisey with a two-out single. “I could have gotten closer to the base. That was a miscue on my part,” Gordon said. “It was a close play, but you’ve got to make sure you get one.” James Loney drove in the first run with a firstinning single after Arroyo gave up a twoout single by Ethier and hit Kemp with a pitch. Kemp scored the Dodgers’ second run on a double-play grounder by Juan Uribe in the third. But Heisey tied it 2-all in the sixth with a two-out solo homer on the first pitch, causing an exasperated Kuroda to put both hands on his head before the ball landed in the left-field pavilion. Gordon, the Dodgers’ minor league player of the year in 2009 and the son of former major league closer Tom Gordon, made back-toback defensive gems in the third, and another in the sixth. NOTES: Reds 3B Scott Rolen, who fouled a ball off his left foot in the second inning Sunday and finished the game, was not in the lineup for the opener of the threegame series. ... The two homers ended a fivegame drought by the Reds, their longest since a five-game stretch in June 2006.
