Rhonemus said that an emphasis will be placed on mainstreaming some of those students into a regular classroom where a special education teacher will be placed to provide assistance. Co-teaching has already been introduced in some classrooms as a more effective method of providing instruction to the varied levels of student ability. Other teaching personnel hired for the new school year which begins on Aug. 22 include Emily Schmalz as a sixth grade math teacher, and Bruce Martin as a chemistry teacher at Meigs High School on a one-year contract. Anticipating Independence Day Texting ban passes Ohio House BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – The hiring of personnel in preparation for the return of the district’s special education students to Meigs Local School District’s control was included in action taken by the Board of Education at its Tuesday night meeting. “It became cost beneficial to bring the units back into the district,” said Mark Rhonemus, treasurer/CFO, noting that the contract with the Athens-Meigs Educational Service Center (Athens-Meigs ESC) has been discontinued. So in the coming school year all 320 special education students in the Meigs Local School District, with the exception of those at Carleton School, will be attending classes in Meigs Local classrooms. Under the Athens-Meigs ESC program services to Meigs Local’s special education students were provided in cooperative units some of which were in other Meigs County school districts. At the meeting six special education teachers, most of whom have been employed in the past through the district’s contract with the AthensMeigs ESC, were hired.

(Photo courtesy Tracey Martin) POMEROY — A bill which would ban texting on electronic devices while driving in the state of Ohio passed the Ohio House this week though its fate in the senate is uncertain. House Bill 99, a version of which was passed by the House last year but fell flat in the senate, would ban not only creating but reading texts on cell phones and other electronic devices while operating a vehicle. Rep. Debbie Phillips (D-Athens) voted for not only last year’s version of the texting ban but last week’s version. Phillips issued the following statement about her vote: “I voted in favor of HB 99 because I believe we need to be clear that people should not text while driving. The bill will create a uniform law across Ohio, which will help provide clarity to drivers.” Phillips went on to say: See Texting, A5 River Museum unveils interactive Riverboat Pilot Training Simulator BY HOPE ROUSH Wet spring thwarts forest fires as well as farmers BY STEPHANIE FILSON HROUSH@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Imagine speeding down the river in your choice of boat. You can feel the movement of the water and even choose to go as far as the San Francisco Bay area. This can all be done at the Point Pleasant River Museum thanks to the recent addition of their Riverboat Pilot Training Simulator. The simulator was officially unveiled Tuesday and will be open for public use this Friday. The exhibit is located in a pilot house on the museum’s second floor and offers many interactive features. Through the use of a touch screen, visitors can choose the type of boat they wish to operate and can pick from five different locations. In addition, visitors can choose if they would like their boat to travel in the day or evening. The simulator also has the ability to create all types of navigational problems, including those revolving around weather conditions such as wind, rain, fog, thunder and lightning. Current direc- (Hope Roush/photo) River Museum unveils interactive Riverboat Pilot Training Simulator tions and flow speed can change as well. According to Jack Fowler, river museum executive director, currently, visitors may choose to either pilot a speed boat, tow boat or coast guard cutter. They also can choose to take their boat to the following locations: Paducah, Grand Tower, Houston, San Francisco and Cairo. Once complete, visitors also will be able to interac- tively travel through Point Pleasant. “(The simulator) is something that I’m sure everyone will enjoy. People like hands-on things and it doesn’t get much better than this,” Fowler said. “You can experience the sensation of the river.” According to Fowler, the simulator was made possible through at $125,000 Federal Highways Transportation grant and is administered by the West Virginia Department of Transportation. “We had to match 20 percent of the grant, so we had to save money,” Fowler said. “I have been working to get (the simulator) for two years, so I am pleased.” In addition to regular simulator activity, Fowler said that the museum eventually plans to offer pilot training classes through the simulator. UNDATED — Although the region’s uncharacteristically wet spring caused a number of problems and delays for area farmers, road crews and even residents, all that water did produce one major benefit — significantly reduced wildfires. Officials with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry and West Virginia Division of Forestry say this year’s water-logged weather helped manage the number of forest fires and number of acres burned. From Jan. 1 through May 31, Ohio officials recorded 171 fires and 858 acres burned in the southern Ohio region for 2011 as opposed to 420 fires and 3,187 acres burned in 2010. The southern Ohio region includes Gallia and Meigs Counties. In West Virginia, officials reported 321 fires and 1,715 acres burned in 2011 as opposed to 413 fires and 12,067 acres See Wildfires, A5 �Thursday, June 30, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Birthday observed Home National Bank donates scoreboard Tuesday, July 5 POMEROY — A DVD presentation and discussion of answers in Genesis with Ken Ham: “Do Animals Evolve?” will be held at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 5 at Mulberry Community Center youth room.

Nationally, M.O.L.L.U.S. was organized at the deathbed of President Abraham Lincoln by Union officers in fear of another uprising of Confederate forces after the defeat of Confederate general, Robert E. Lee, and his forces of the Army of Northern Virginia. When this did not material, the officers decided to continue the organization for camaraderie.

B RO T H E R S New mother of twins worries for future BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: I'm a first-time mom-to-be, and I just found out I'm having twins. I was barely prepared for the idea of one new baby, much less two! I'm feeling overwhelmed by the idea of two newborns at once, and I feel terrible for not being completely excited and enthusiastic about my babies. Is it normal to be this worried? Is there anything I can do to prepare and to make myself stop freaking out? — M.S. Dear M.S.: It is normal to be a little worried about the changes in your life once you have kids, especially since you're expecting twins. And as a firsttime mother, the everyday challenges that will become commonplace after only a few weeks of motherhood can seem insurmountable without the proper preparation. So, the most important thing you can do is prepare. Not only will your preparation now make it much easier for you once your babies are born, but it will give you something proactive to do to increase your confidence in your own parenting abilities. According to statistics from the Mayo Clinic, nearly three percent of pregnant women give birth to twins or triplets, so you can take comfort in knowing that you're not Dr. Joyce Brothers alone. Talking to other mothers of twins can be a great resource, whether it's in person in your community or on the Internet. There are some issues specific to twins that experienced mothers will have no problem helping you out with — whether to buy one crib or two, how to encourage each twin to be him- or herself and what to do when it comes time to breastfeed two mouths at once, for example. You also can talk to your obstetrician about your worries, especially since twins are more likely to be born prematurely or underweight. I hope these resources can ease your worries and allow you to fully experience the excitement and joy of expectant motherhood.

During the past year or so, though, she's become increasingly picky about what she eats, and recently she's started talking more and more about stick-thin models being "perfect." She's a healthy weight now, but has been losing a bit, and I'm worried. Do you think my daughter has an eating disorder? — L.D. Dear L.D.: Bulimia and anorexia can be lifelong problems for some people, and for some they do start in the teenage years. As the mother of a teenage girl, you need to walk the fine line between allowing her increasing amounts of freedom and still keeping an eye on her to make sure she's not getting into trouble. Teen girls sometimes can have problems working through their relationship with food and weight, especially if they're involved in activities where their appearance starts to matter more and more — like the fashion industry. Discussing things like her definition of what a healthy weight or body shape is can open the door to more in-depth conversations about her own weight. The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 Feds: Mine faked reports before fatal West Virginia blast BEAVER, W.Va. (AP) — Coal company managers pressured miners to generate a second set of reports omitting chronic safety problems to mislead inspectors before an underground explosion killed 29 men last year, federal regulators said Tuesday. Kevin Stricklin, coal administrator for the Mine Safety and Health Administration, said top management at the Upper Big Branch mine was required to countersign safety inspection books that collect miners’ daily reports on conditions. The mine was owned by Massey Energy until Alpha Natural Resources bought its rival this month. “The investigation team concluded that the managers were aware that chronic hazardous conditions were not recorded,” he said during a briefing on the federal investigation. Testimony from some of the 266 witnesses MSHA has interviewed also “indicated that management pressured examiners to not record hazards in the books.” Federal investigators first revealed they had found two sets of books — one focused on safety, the other on production — during a private meeting with the victims’ families Tuesday night. It’s one of the few revelations to come from the ninth briefing since the investigation began last summer into the deadliest U.S. coalfield disaster in four decades. Alpha Natural Resources spokesman Ted Pile said Wednesday the company was hearing about the faked reports for the first time. “It’s a claim I’m sure we’ll look into as we conduct our own review of what happened,” Pile said in an email to The Associated Press. In a public briefing Wednesday, Stricklin showed side-by-side comparisons of records that purported to document the same shift on three different dates in the month before the accident. In each case, the official book that inspectors would have seen showed few, if any, hazards, while the production reports indicated various problems with faulty machinery, explosive methane gas and bad roof conditions. “If a coal mine wants to keep two sets of books, that’s their own business,” Stricklin said. “They can keep five sets of books if they want. But what they’re required to do is list all the hazards in the official book. “This is the book that not only MSHA looks at ... but it should be the book that miners and other people who are going into the mine should look at so they would be aware of any conditions in the mine before they go in,” Stricklin said. On April 5, 2010, the day of the blast, a pre-shift inspection report identified very few hazards. But Stricklin says other documents showed six of 10 conveyor belts needed to be coated with pulverized limestone to prevent coal dust from exploding, and five belts needed cleaning. Bobbie Pauley, the only woman who worked underground at Upper Big Branch, said she was not surprised by MSHA’s revelation. “You put in an inspection report what you wanted the inspectors to see,” said Pauley, who lost fiance Howard “Boone” Payne in the blast. “Zero, zero, zero deters MSHA from coming back. If they see a potential problem recorded in a book, then they’re going to come back and investigate it time after time after time,” she said. “Well, no coal operator wants to be pounded by MSHA every day. Pauley returned to Upper Big Branch only briefly after the explosion and now works aboveground at another former Massey operation bought out by Alpha. She was among some 200 people attending Wednesday’s briefing. MSHA has drafted its final report but told victims’ families it likely won’t be delivered until October. The explosion also remains the subject of a criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, and MSHA has said it won’t release some information to avoid hindering that probe. It largely reiterated its past public statements, offering more detail but no new theories. So far, only one Massey employee has been indicted. Security chief Hughie Stover is charged with three federal crimes for allegedly lying to the FBI and MSHA and obstructing justice by ordering a subordinate to throw away thousands of pages of security documents from the mine. MSHA contends the explosion started with a small, naturally occurring release of methane or natural gas that was then fueled by coal dust into a devastating inferno that tore through the mine in a series of explosions over a few minutes. The agency has blamed a poorly maintained cutting head on a piece of mining equipment for sparking the blast and a malfunctioning water sprayer for failing to douse it. An independent investigation commissioned by former Gov. Joe Manchin reached the same conclusion last month. That study accused Massey of ignoring the most basic safety practices in the industry, allowing highly explosive coal dust and methane gas to accumulate, and failing to provide either enough fresh air flow or enough pulverized limestone on the mine’s walls to render coal dust inert. Holzer Clinic Urgent Care Hours July 4th Weekend �Page A4 OPINION Just what I needed BY JONATHAN LINTNER There were days when I wished I’d be refunded for having to page through Lee Spencer’s NASCAR columns in my weekly edition of The Sporting News. Days when I wondered why stock car racing got so much attention. Days when I was more ignorant to the world than I am now. I was young -- really young, with no sense of identity, nothing outstanding to harp on, and few to look to for guidance except a handful of peers who all shared my same problem. Adults didn’t know anything, and kids, well, they knew everything. I was 14 years old and barely six months away from my freshman year of high school when I truly discovered NASCAR racing thanks to an early afternoon nap. When I fell asleep, TV still on and tuned to FOX, I had no idea I’d wake up to the 2004 Daytona 500 --one of the greatest spectacles I’ve ever witnessed, live from the couch in my family room. We all know how it ended. Dale Earnhardt Jr. crosses the finish line in front of drafting partner Tony Stewart, team rushes out to meet their driver on the infield grass, tearful celebration ensues. And I became the most unlikely member of Junior Nation since ... well, I didn’t know any others. Not Earnhardt Jr. fans. Just NASCAR fans in general. Being a NASCAR fan is like finding a wicked vacation spot in the middle of North Dakota. People just won’t buy the validity (no offense, Dakotans). What’s the point, or what could a person possibly gain from the painful task of watching cars go in circles for four hours every Sunday afternoon? Not many bought it. So my NASCAR fandom became an anomaly rather than a trend, and that was for the best. Entering high school, I needed an influence, and a positive one. That was what NASCAR was for me, along with a consistent “yes” answer to the most-asked question from all eighth- through 12thgrade students: “Got any plans this weekend?” Friends were hard to come by and inconsistent while around, so early on, at least, I had nobody to count on except for 43 drivers, every Sunday, every week. While it wasn’t a palpable goal, NASCAR gave me something to look forward to, something to work toward. In many ways, NASCAR was my drive for much of high school. I read a lot about how people don’t believe that their home sports team has truly “given back” until they deliver a championship-winning run -like how the Cubs and the Bears owe one to Chicago, or that it’s been way too long since the Dukies have experienced the euphoria of winning an NCAA basketball title. I’ll never have to worry about that. Sure, I like to see a certain few take the checkers in front, but NASCAR has given me more than I ever would hope to get from a sport I’ve been following for only half a decade. It’s the Friday night out with a group of friends, a Saturday night party and a Sunday afternoon at the park all rolled into one. While I found that being social and keeping up with school wasn’t always an easy combination to master, NASCAR filled in the gaps throughout the longest season in all of sports. It always gave back when I needed some motivation, some willpower, or even just something to do. It’s not just that NASCAR was there, but through all that encircled it, I learned a lot about life. The drivers, the crews, even the guys working for profit on TV all seemed to spread a positive, uplifting message, one that fueled me through high school to the The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

If someone watched the race the previous weekend, they let me know. If they hated it, they’d let me know. If there was a fantastic finish, they’d let me know they liked it, but probably wouldn’t watch again the next week. That’s just how it was within the confines of an all-boys’ private school in Louisville, Kentucky. That’s how I liked it, as I did bring it upon myself. When my English teacher during my junior year requested a poem, mine revolved around stock car racing, as did my senior year research paper and eventually, online articles in my free time. It was so easy to write about something that I was so passionate about. So as I grow and progress through college, I now hope NASCAR can give me a career. There’s a point in time when a person sets in his head what he wants to do in life. For me, I’d be happiest sharing my appreciation for something that’s given me so much, and that’s writing, reporting, commentating on, whatever -- so long as the subject matter is NASCAR and the field is communications. In my short experience of covering races live at the track, I’ve discovered that the vibe doesn’t start and stop at the presentation of these events. It’s legit. NASCAR makes people happy. It gives them something every time the green flag flies. At that moment, worries turn to afterthoughts, stress is put on the back burner, and racing flies into the forefront. If that were to be my life, I’d do whatever I could to contribute, to give back. Because I know how much NASCAR has already given to me. Visit our Web site: www.chickensoup.com. (c)2011 by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen Thursday, June 30, 2011 Food terrorism in the Magic Kingdom BY AMY GOODMAN Think of “food terrorism” and what do you see? Diabolical plots to taint items on grocerystore shelves? If you are Buddy Dyer, the mayor of Orlando, Fla., you might be thinking of a group feeding the homeless and hungry in one of your city parks. That is what Dyer is widely quoted as calling the activists with the Orlando chapter of Food Not Bombs -- “food terrorists.” In the past few weeks, no less than 21 people have been arrested in Orlando, the home of Disney World, for handing out free food in a park. Food Not Bombs is an international, grass-roots organization that fights hunger. As the name implies, it is against war. Its website home page reads: “Food Not Bombs shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000 cities around the world to protest war, poverty and the destruction of the environment. With over a billion people going hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war?” The Orlando chapter sets up a meal distribution table every Monday morning and Wednesday evening in the city’s Lake Eola Park. Lately, the Orlando police have been arresting those who serve food there, like Benjamin Markeson. He was perplexed, telling me: “We think that it’s terrorism to arrest people for trying to share food with poor and hungry people in the community to meet a community need. And all we do is we come to the park and we share food with poor and hungry people. I don’t know how that qualifies as terrorism.” Attorney Shayan Elahi doesn’t know, either. He is representing Orlando Food Not Bombs in 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 Amy Goodman court. He has filed for an injunction against the city in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, which is presided over by Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. Judge Perry is in the news lately as the no-nonsense judge in the Casey Anthony murder trial, which is happening now in Orlando. While the judge’s courtroom receives blanket coverage on cable networks, Elahi hopes Perry will have time to personally rule on his filing. At issue is a city law, the “Large Group Feeding” ordinance, that requires groups to obtain a permit to serve food, even for free, to groups of 25 or more. Such permits are granted to any group only twice per year. Orlando Food Not Bombs has already used both of its allowed permits this year. The Florida Civil Rights Association has called on Mayor Dyer to apologize for his designation of the Food Not Bombs group as terrorists. The criminal act should not be feeding more than 25 people, but that more than 25 people need food. Attorney Elahi links the crackdown to the planned gentrification of downtown Orlando: “The mayor started the development board for downtown Orlando, and his whole goal was basically to push everybody who ... didn’t fit their idea of who should be in downtown. And we’re trying to point out to the mayor that times have changed, that now everybody is hurting, and a lot more people who come to Food Not Bombs food sharing are working poor.” The core message of Food Not Bombs is embodied in a resolution passed just last week by the U.S. Conference of Mayors calling on Washington to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as soon as strategically possible, redirecting funding to meet vital human needs here at home. Central Florida has been hit very hard by the recession and is among the top locations for foreclosures and bankruptcies. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization is warning that global food prices are expected to remain high for the rest of the year and beyond. Earlier this year, food prices hit levels seen during the 2007-08 food crisis that sparked unrest in poor nations worldwide. Mass protests and a general strike in Greece against planned austerity measures are shutting down Athens. One of the most famous songs at Disney World, not far from Lake Eola Park, is called “It’s a Small World.” Its refrain: “There’s so much that we share/that it’s time we’re aware/it’s a small world after all.” Let’s turn fantasy into reality. Sharing food should not be a crime. Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

Wildfires From Page A1 burned for the same period in 2010. “It seemed to rain every other day,” said Michael Bowden, Ohio State Fire Supervisor with the Division of Forestry. “The rain was beneficial in that it kept ignitions from occurring and lessened the intensity of the fires that we did have to manage.” Jim Johnson, a representative with the Gallipolis Fire Department which utilizes more than 30 volunteers to serve the Gallipolis area and four surrounding townships, acknowledged that the rain “really cut down” the number and severity of reported fires locally during the spring wildfire season which effectively ended in early June. Still, officials point to the importance of residents heeding state burning laws as the primary means of wildfire reduction. In Ohio, residential outdoor open burning is banned from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the spring and fall heightened brush fire season. Laws in West Virginia have recently been tightened to ban outdoor burning until after 5 p.m. for the dry fall and spring seasons. West Virginia law previously allowed burning after 4 p.m., but the new law will take effect October 1. There are no specific banned time frames for open burning in the winter and summer months when the danger of fire is lower, but residents should always consider factors such as wind and humidity before burning. West Virginia Director/State Forester Randy Dye says that pushing back the outdoor burning hours by just one hour will help reduce the number of fires in the state. “The potential for forest fires is greatest during the afternoon because of daytime heat, lower humidity and stronger winds,” said Dye. “Even starting a fire an hour later at 5 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. will go a long way toward decreasing the risk of a fire spreading because of weather conditions.” For more information about outdoor burning laws and fire safety, visit the West Virginia Division of Forestry’s web site at www.wvforestry.com or the Ohio Division of Forestry’s web site at www.dnr.state.oh.us/forestry.

Supplemental contracts were awarded to Stacie Roach and Lena Yoacham, Middle School yearbook co-advisors; Mick Weber, high school quiz team advisor; and Vicki Hughes, mentor. A two year medical leave of absence was granted to Steve Cotterill effective Jun 30. Student handbooks for the coming school year were approved. In other action taken at the meeting, approval was given final revised permanent appropriations for fiscal year 2010-11 in the amount of $27,906,962. Temporary appropriations for fiscal year of 2011-2012 in the amount of $25,649,2384 were also approved. Rhonemus and Superintendent Rusty Bookman were authorized to obtain property, fleet, liability and violence insurance coverage through the Ohio School Plan at an annual premium of $58,142 for $5 million/occurence and $7 million/aggregate coverage.

Attending the meeting besides Rhonemus and Bookman were Board members, Ryan Mahr, Ron Logan, Roger Abbott, and Larry Tucker, vice president, who conducted the meeting. Texting From Page A1 “I am concerned about enforcement of the ban, because some studies find that drivers text anyway, trying to hide what they are doing, and end up with their eyes off the road even longer. But, I believe we need to send a clear message that this is unacceptable, and I hope that the driver’s education provisions will help raise awareness and make our roads safer.” HB 99 does, however, make exceptions for emergency situations and allows a motorist to create and read texts if their vehicle is in a stationary position with the transmission in park or neutral setting or with the engine or power to the motor off. HB 99 will likely face a tougher battle when and if it makes it to a vote in the Ohio Senate. On Wednesday, The Columbus Dispatch reported no new legislation would be considered until September in the senate, according to a representative from the Senate Republicans. This same representative did not commit to a texting ban being a part of upcoming legislation. Currently, no communities in Meigs County ban the practice of texting while driving though it’s banned in Columbus and some of its surrounding communities like Gahanna, Dublin, Canal Winchester and New Albany, to name a few. If HB 99 would become law, it does allow a grace period for drivers to get used to the ban before being cited for what will be classified as a minor misdemeanor. The grace period is six months past the day the legislation becomes law. Accident lands truck in Ohio River BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — No injuries were reported in a Tuesday-night accident that left one vehicle submerged in the Ohio River. At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening, officers with the Gallipolis Police Department were dispatched to Cedar Street in Gallipolis in reference to a one-vehicle accident. According to the police report, an unoccupied 1996 Ford Ranger had been parked facing the river at the dead end of Cedar Street, next to the residence located at 601 First Avenue. Reportedly, the owner of the vehicle, Jeffrey L. Sayre, Bidwell, had been unloading mulch from the truck when the truck began rolling forward towards the river. According to the report, the owner made an attempt to stop the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The unoccupied vehicle continued to travel over an embankment and, after rolling over a large log, landed in the water. According to the Gallia County 911 dispatch log, the vehicle was completely submerged and officials with the Gallipolis Fire Department were also called to provide lighting at the scene.

Thursday, June 30, 2011 Proffitt makes comeback to take first half in Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MASON, W.Va. Claude Proffitt of Patriot, Ohio, finished the first half with a charge to overtake the leader, Bob Oliver of Mason, W.Va., on the final day of the first half of the Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League. Proffitt’s total of 146.0 points beat Oliver by only two points. Ed Debalski of Ripley, W.Va., scored 120.5 points for third place. A total of 81 players made up 18 four-man teams and three teams of three men. The low score for the day was a 61 (nine under par) by the team of Jim Turley, Don Barton, Mitch Mace and Ralph Sayre. There was a three-way tie for second at 62 (eight under par) between the teams of Kenny Greene, Claude Proffitt, Gene Thomas and Paul Somerville; Fred Perry, Jim Mitchell, Jerry Arnold and Russ Wood; Siebert Belcher, Bobby Oliver, Dave Shinn and Bob Isaacs. The closest to the pin winners were Claude Proffitt on the ninth hole and Roy Bailey on the 14th hole. The second half of the season starts next Tuesday with all senior male players welcome. 2011 RIVERSIDE SENIOR GOLF LEAGUE FIRST HALF FINAL STANDINGS Claude Proffitt 146.0 Skip Johnson 88.0 Bob Oliver 144.0 Aaron Groves 87.5 Ed Debalski 120.5 Jerry Dean 84.5 Gary Minton 111.5 Dick Dugan 84.5 Paul Somerville 110.5 Steve Safford 84.0 Mick Winebrenner 109.5 Bill Pethtel 83.5 Jerry Arnold 107.0 Bob Humphreys 82.5 Charley Hargraves 105.0 Bobby Joe Roush 82.5 Rick Northup 103.5 Mitch Mace 82.5 Phil Hill 102.5 Ray Oliver 82.5 Carrasco pitches Tribe past Arizona — joining Roy Halladay (2003), Carlos Perez (1998), Pat Hentgen (1996), Greg Maddux (1995) and Tommy Greene (1993) — to have four consecutive complete game victories. The right-hander nearly worked out of a twoon, no-out jam in the fourth by striking out Jay Bruce and Jonny Gomes, but Hanigan broke the scoreless tie on his third homer of the season. Evan Longoria, who hit a game-ending solo homer in the ninth inning of Tuesday night’s 4-3 win over the Reds, cut the deficit to 3-2 on a two-run double in the sixth. The All-Star third baseman was doubled off PHOENIX (AP) — Chalk up another gem for Cleveland’s young Carlos Carrasco. The 24-year-old righthander gave up solo homers to Justin Upton and Stephen Drew, but otherwise stifled Arizona through seven innings in the Indians’ 6-2 victory on Wednesday as Cleveland took two of three in the interleague series. “Unbelievable,” Indians teammate Orlando Cabrera said. “Carlos, he’s been incredible the last five, six starts. When we need him, he’s just been incredible for us.” Carrasco gave up four hits, striking out seven with no walks. He hit two batters. He has allowed a combined four earned runs while going 4-1 in his last five starts, a span of 36 2-3 innings. Manager Manny Acta said that since Carrasco came off the disabled list (right elbow inflammation) on May 11, he has been more willing to use all four of his pitches rather than just his fastball and changeup. The young Venezuelan agreed. “I mix up everything,” he said. Cabrera, who delivered the deciding home run in the series opener, had a season-high four hits. He doubled, scored twice and drove in a run as the Indians won for just the third time in nine games. Asdrubal Cabrera added three hits, including a double and an RBI single. The Indians could have made it much worse — they outhit the Diamondbacks 15-4 but stranded a season-high 15 runners. Carrasco (8-4) struck out seven, walked none and hit two batters while improving to 4-1 in his last five starts. The series victory came after the Indians scored just four runs while being swept in three games in San Francisco. “I thought it was a very good bounce-back after yesterday (a 5-4 loss) and after the series Please see Reds, B2 Please see Tribe, B2 Ralph Sayre 96.5 Gene Thomas 81.5 Jim Gordon 96.0 Bill Yoho 81.5 Gerald Kelly 95.5 Pat Williamson 81.0 Richard Mabe 95.0 Don Corbin 79.5 Siebert Belcher 94.0 Robert Brooks 76.5 Butch Bookman 93.0 Bill Winebrenner 76.5 Kenny Greene 92.0 Earl Johnson 75.0 Cuzz Laudermilt 89.5 Cecil Minton 74.5 4TH ANNUAL SOUTHERN BASKETBALL GOLF SCRAMBLE MASON, W.Va. — The Southern Basketball team will holds its 4th annual golf scramble on Saturday, July 9, at Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W.Va.

AP photo Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jay Bruce makes a sliding catch on a fifth inning sinking line drive by Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon during an interleague baseball game in St. Petersburg, Fla. Reds get past Shields, Tampa Bay 4-3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Hanigan returned to the lineup and wound up getting a key hit. His three run homer helped the Cincinnati Reds beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Wednesday. “Hopefully, I think we’re closer,” Hanigan said after Reds took two of three from Tampa Bay. “We’re starting to play better baseball. I think guys are upbeat. I think if a few things go right for us we can make a little push here.” Cincinnati took two out of three from Tampa Bay. “A good day overall,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Won a close game. Played a very good series. They played a good series, I’ll tell you. They’ve got good pitching over there, too.” Hanigan’s two-out, three-run shot off James Shields (8-5) in the fourth put the Reds up 30. It was his first homer since going deep twice April 3 against Milwaukee. “I was just trying to relax and get some pitches I could handle,” Hanigan said. “He’s tough. He changes speeds. He’s tough to sit on pitches with because he has four quality pitches. He threw up in the zone and I put a good swing on it. It felt good.” Hanigan was back in the lineup after sitting out the previous three games due a sore lat muscle. Edinson Volquez (5-3) gave up three runs and four hits in 6 1-3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked three. After Logan Ondrusek and Bill Bray combined for 1 2-3 scoreless innings, Francisco Cordero pitched the ninth for his 16th save. Shields had given up just two runs in his previous three starts, all of which were complete game wins. “I think I was two pitches away from having shutout,” Shields said. “It’s kind of the way the game works between giving up no runs or four runs.” Shields, who allowed four runs and seven hits over seven innings, was trying to become just the sixth pitcher since 1990 Federer falls at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — For two superb sets Wednesday, everything looked so routine for Roger Federer, precisely the way it did for so many years at Wimbledon — and nearly everywhere else, too. Little comes easily for Federer anymore, even at the All England Club, where he’s won six of his record 16 major championships. Before Wednesday, Federer was 178-0 when taking the first two sets of a Grand Slam match. Now he’s 178-1. Facing a younger, quicker and better-serving opponent, Federer failed to make his big lead stand up and lost 36, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to 12th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the quarterfinals. Federer leaves Wimbledon in that round for the second consecutive year, after reaching seven finals in a row from 2003-09. Nevertheless, Federer sounded defiant in defeat, saying he played well against Tsonga and is sure he “definitely can” add to his Grand Slam collection, even though he’ll turn 30 in August. “When I was 20, I would have been crushed: ‘I can’t go on; I’ll never get another chance to be in a quarterfinal of a Grand Slam.’ But today, I know that I should probably have lots more,” said Federer, who lost in the French Open final earlier this month. “I don’t have that mental stress. I know what I’ve accomplished already. It’s different when you’re older and you’ve accomplished as much as I have.” The third-seeded Federer’s loss prevented the 125th edition of Wimbledon from being the first since 1995 with the four top men in the semifinals. The other favorites all won Wednesday, though not without some difficulty: No. 1 Rafael Nadal numbed his injured left foot with a painkilling injection then beat No. 10 Mardy Fish of the United States 6-3, 6-3, 57, 6-4; No. 2 Novak Djokovic was a break down in the third set but reeled off seven games in a row to get past 18-yearold qualifier Bernard Tomic of Australia 6-2, Please see Falls, B2 Corinne Dubreuil/Abaca Press/MCT France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, pictured, defeated Switzerland's Roger Federer in their quarterfinal match during the men's Wimbledon Championships in Wimbledon, England Wednesday. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Woman says Owens fails to pay some child support ATLANTA (AP) — The mother of Terrell Owens’ child says the NFL star has refused to pay the full $5,000 a month in child support he owes. Melanie Paige Smith filed court papers June 20 in an Atlanta court seeking to hold the player in contempt. Owens “has failed and refused to pay the full amount of child support for June 2011,” Atlanta attorney Randall Kessler wrote in court records. Owens’ financial advisers have informed Smith that he’s decided to no longer pay the full amount, Kessler added. Kessler said Wednesday that Smith doesn’t have any ill will toward Owens. “She simply asks that he follow the order to which he agreed,” he said. “Rather than discussing his situation with her or her lawyers first, he simply cut his child support.” Owens’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did not immediately return messages Wednesday seeking comment. Owens, a free agent, is recovering from knee surgery and can’t sign with a team until the NFL lockout is resolved. The athlete is a resident of Fulton County, which encompasses most of Atlanta and several suburbs, Smith’s attorneys say. The case was filed in Fulton County Superior Court. Falls “You get pushed more and more as the rounds go on,” said Murray, a three-time major runnerup. “I’m sure in the next round, I’m going to get pushed even harder, and I’m going to have to up my game again.” Federer, meanwhile, remains one Wimbledon trophy short of the men’s record of seven, shared by Pete Sampras and Willie Renshaw, whose titles came in the 1880s. “I thought my game was plenty good enough this year to win the tournament,” Federer said. “Unfortunately, there’s only one that can win it, and the rest go home empty-handed. That’s what happened to me today. Jo played an amazing match.” That certainly is true. Tsonga lost the first game he served — and then didn’t face a break point the rest of the way. He finished with an 1817 edge in aces and a 6357 edge in total winners. And Tsonga managed to break Federer’s serve once in each of the last three sets. Most impressive of all, Tsonga hung in there even after falling so far behind. “I was feeling really strong because I never — how you say that? — panic. I was, all the time, really focused,” Tsonga said. “I was not scared on big points.” The 26-year-old Tsonga reached the 2008 Australian Open final before losing to Djokovic, who won that tournament again this year. But what appeared to be a rapid rise for Tsonga stalled, in part because of injuries to both knees. He split with his coach in April and has yet to hire another. What Tsonga does not lack at the moment is self-belief. Asked if he thinks he could win Wimbledon this year, Tsonga replied: “Um, why not?” Wednesday’s match was only his fifth career major quarterfinal; Federer has been at least that far at each of the past 29 Grand Slam tournaments. But after getting to the semifinals at a record 23 consecutive majors, Federer now has lost in the quarterfinals at three of the past five. Inevitably, a reporter wanted to know whether Federer felt as if this were the end of an era. “No, I don’t think so,” Federer said. “Wasn’t a shocker, second-round loss in straight sets, some stupid match I played. It was a great match, I think, from both sides.” The quality was high, the exchanges entertaining. According to the official statistics, 120 points ended on winners by one man or the other — and only 33 ended on unforced errors. The highlight might have been a 25-stroke point in the second set’s 10th game: After diving to his right for a volley that Federer tapped back, Tsonga tried in vain to jump headfirst to his left. He wound up chucking his racket in the ball’s direction and belly flopping, then stayed prone on the court, face down and motionless, for several seconds, as Centre Court spectators rose to their feet, applauding the effort. The fans gave another standing ovation before Tsonga came out to serve for the match in the fifth set. Perhaps they were saluting both players, but it felt as if they were telling Federer, “Thanks for the memories.” Tsonga had started turning things around by ripping a forehand passing winner to break Federer for the first time and take a 2-1 lead in the third set. Tsonga broke to 2-1 in the fourth with another forehand winner, then jogged to the sideline with his right fist aloft. The final break came in the fifth set’s opening game, when Federer put a forehand into the net. “I’m the kind of player,” Tsonga said, “who likes these big moments.” For so long, that was an apt description of Federer. But he could not get back into this match, because Tsonga wouldn’t let him. Tsonga won 40 of 49 points in his service games over the last two sets, closing the match with service winners at 135 mph, then 133 mph. When it ended, Tsonga dropped to his knees at the baseline, then did his usual victory celebration, hopping across the court and shaking his fists near his head. “It’s not just his backhand or forehand or serve or physical or mental game — at the end, it’s an overall effort. He was very strong. On the big points, he played his best, he took chances and risks,” Federer said. “It’s hard to accept, because I thought I was at least as good as he was.” Michael Brantley each had RBI singles in the early flurry. The fourth run scored on Jack Hannahan’s groundout when first baseman Juan Miranda’s throw to second for what could have been a double play hit the runner. Consecutive singles by the Cabreras and Santana made it 1-0 in the first, then two-out RBI singles by Brantley and Asdrubal Cabrera put Cleveland up 3-0 in the second. The Indians scored off newly arrived reliever Yhency Brazoban in the eighth when Orlando Cabrera doubled and Travis Buck singled with two outs. Cleveland made it 6-2 in the ninth off David Hernandez when Orlando Cabrera singled home Lou Marson from second, the runner barely avoiding Miguel Montero’s tag on the throw from strong- armed Gerardo Parra in left. “I don’t think we played very good today,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “Yeah, he (Duke) gave up nine hits in five innings but we all feel like we could have played better today. Their guy threw the ball very well. They had 15 hits and left 15 on base. They pressured us very well, they outplayed us and they beat us.” Duke has allowed 20 runs in his last four starts, none of them longer than five innings. “You want to see better results and for him you worry about his confidence,” Gibson said. “I talked to him a little after he came out of the game, I thought he actually threw the ball better. I didn’t feel like we were particularly sharp.” NOTES: Gibson said after the game that the team would release third baseman Melvin Mora on Thursday. The corresponding move would be made Friday, he said. ... Struggling Arizona closer J.J. Putz is expected to get some time off with what general manager Kevin Towers believes is a “dead arm.” ... Entering the game, right-handers were hitting .393 against Duke this season, lefties .115. ... Carrasco had given up four homers all season entering the game. ... This marked the eighth time Upton and brother B.J., who plays for Tampa Bay, homered on the same day. ... Arizona topped 1 million for home attendance this season. ... Miranda is hitless in his last 30 at-bats at Chase Field. ... Cleveland plays a three-game series weekend in Cincinnati to end a nine-game road trip. from Page B1 3-6, 6-3, 7-5; and No. 4 Andy Murray pulled up awkwardly after tweaking his hip changing directions on one thirdset point but otherwise breezed past unseeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. “There are other players that are able to play great tennis, and Tsonga has proved it today,” said Djokovic, who would replace Nadal at No. 1 in the ATP rankings by reaching the final. “It’s all very close at this level, especially in the second week of a Grand Slam.” In Friday’s semifinals, Tsonga will face Djokovic, who is 46-1 in 2011, the only loss coming to Federer at the French Open. Defending champion Nadal will play Murray, who hopes to give Britain its first men’s title at the All England Club in 75 years. Although Fish thought Nadal moved well against him and showed no sign of injury, the 10time major champion said: “My foot is not fine. But we are in quarterfinals of Wimbledon. Is an emergency, so I had to play.” Nadal is on a 19-match winning streak at the grass-court Grand Slam, and is 31-2 since the start of the 2006 tournament; both losses were against Federer in finals. He’s 11-4 against Murray, including a victory in last year’s Wimbledon semifinals. Tribe from Page B1 in San Francisco,” Acta said. “Our pitching continues to be good. Carrasco was outstanding.” The Diamondbacks play their next 10 on the road leading up to the All-Star game, to be played in Phoenix on July 12. Carrasco held the Diamondbacks hitless until Upton’s 13th home run of the season, with one out in the fourth, cut the lead to 4-1. Drew’s homer, leading off the sixth, landed in the Cleveland bullpen down the right field line to make it 4-2. The Indians scored four time on eight hits off Zach Duke (1-3) in the first three innings.

Fireworks 9:30 Thursday, June 30, 2011 Kickers upsets Crew in US Open Cup COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Matthew Delicate scored on a header in the 85th minute to lift the minor-league Richmond Kickers to a 21 victory against the Columbus Crew in a third-round match of the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday night. The Kickers, who play in the United Soccer League Pro division, play in the quarterfinals at Sporting Kansas City of the MLS on July 12. Columbus, a loser to Seattle in the Open Cup final last season, had a chance to tie in the closing seconds when Bernardo Anor’s corner kick found the head of Tommy Heinemann. Delicate appeared to deflect the ball with his shoulder and it went off the arm of teammate Henry Kalungi at the goal line. The Crew unsuccessfully appealed for a handball and the Kickers avenged a loss to Columbus in 2002, the year Columbus won its only Open Cup. “We’ve done it before so it’s nothing new to us,” Richmond coach Leigh Cowlishaw said of beating an MLS team in the Open Cup. “The big thing is we’ve done it on the road.” Heinemann had a rightfooted one-timer off Robbie Rogers’ goal kick denied by Ronnie Pascale in the 80th minute that would have put the short-handed Crew ahead. The Crew lost defender Danny O’Rourke to a red card in the 67th minute for a retaliatory hit on Ryan Heins and the Kickers were able to take advantage as extra time loomed. Second-half substitute Edson Elcock laced a 45yard ball perfectly to Delicate near the left side of the goal box. He dove ahead of defender Korey Veeder and put the ball into the upper right corner for his third goal of the tournament. He has nine goals in his Open Cup career to rank fifth in the modern pro era. Richmond took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute on a bending 18-yarder by Nozomi Hiroyama. The Crew equalized 17 minutes later on Cole Grossman’s goal from the right side of the penalty area to complete a six-pass sequence. “I was actually very surprised how good Columbus was even with the majority of their starters not playing,” Cowlishaw said. “We were quite fortunate to be tied (1-1) at half.” That changed in the second half and the Crew, who started five rookies who have seen little of MLS play, fell to 19-11-1 in the Open Cup — a competition that began in 1914 and is open to all teams at the pro and amateur levels in the United States. “I’m disappointed,” Crew coach Robert Warzycha said. “This is a group (of players) fighting for one of the starting positions. I’m so disappointed.” Reds opposite-field single down the third-base line leading off the fifth. Tampa Bay designated hitter Johhny Damon singled in the sixth to tie Boston star Ted Williams for 71st place on the alltime hit list with 2,654. “You know what? I want him to keep making history as long as he’s here,” Upton said. “It’s fun to watch. I’m happy for him.” NOTES: Volquez won on the road for the first time since May 6. ... Longoria has six RBIs over 25 home games this season, with three coming in the last two games. ... The Reds are 8-1 overall against Tampa Bay after winning two of three in the series. ... Shields assisted on all three first-inning outs, fielding two grounders and picking off Joey Votto at first. He has picked off eight runners this year. ... Shields finished with 10 strikeouts and two walks. from Page B1 second after Matt Joyce lined out to second. Tampa Bay dropped to 19-20 at home this season. “There’s not really an answer for it, but just really focus on keep playing hard,” Longoria said. “Try to eliminate those mental mistakes that sometimes cost us games, myself included.” Longoria has driven in 13 runs in his past six games. Cincinnati went up 4-2 on Fred Lewis’ seventhinning RBI single. B.J. Upton got the run back on a solo homer in the bottom of the inning. Upton has four homers in his last six games. Volquez allowed two baserunners — both on walks — as he cruised through four innings before Casey Kotchman got the Rays’ first hit, an Why Not MOW with the BEST MADE IN THE USA?

South Carolina won their second consecutive NCAA baseball title by beating the Gators, 5-2. Gamecocks repeat as CWS champs OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — South Carolina clinched its second straight national championship with a performance different from most of its others at this year’s College World Series. No drama was necessary. Michael Roth pitched 7 2-3 innings on three days’ rest and the Gamecocks were in control throughout a 52 victory over Florida that completed a twogame sweep in the CWS finals Tuesday night. “We’re not the most talented team, and we don’t have the best players position for position,’’ Roth said, “but we go out and stick together as a team. We battle. I can’t describe it. We’re a bunch of average Joes and love each other and come out and battle.’’ South Carolina (5514) became the first team to ever go 10-0 in an NCAA tournament and the first since Oregon State in 2007 to go unbeaten in a CWS. The Gamecocks’ streaks of 16 NCAA tournament wins and 11 straight in the CWS are both the longest alltime. South Carolina has the distinction of winning the last CWS played at Rosenblatt Stadium and the first at TD Ameritrade Park. Peter Mooney doubled to start a three-run third inning in the matchup of S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference rivals and hit the Gamecocks’ first home run of the CWS in the sixth. After giving up four runs in the first inning of their opener against Texas A&M, the Gamecocks allowed just six in their other 50 innings here. They became the sixth team to win consecutive national titles and first since Oregon State in 2006-07. “They earned this one,’’ Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “They were a little bit better than us in all phases. They pitched a little bit better. They hit a little bit better. They played a little bit better defense and they earned it.’’ Three of the Gamecocks’ first four wins here came in their last at-bat and included incredible pitching and defensive performances in the late innings. None of that was necessary Tuesday. “You have to be a little lucky to win this game,’’ Gamecocks coach Ray Tanner said. “We were living a charmed life.’’ South Carolina second baseman Scott Wingo was named Most Outstanding Player. He had the winning hit in the bottom of the ninth against Texas A&M and made two great plays at second base to keep Florida from scoring late in the game Monday. “He’s been so valuable to this program,’’ Tanner said. “He loves this program. He has fun. That’s how you have to play this game.’’ Roth (14-3), who pitched seven innings against Virginia on Friday, gave up five hits and two runs before leaving in the eighth. He started last year’s national championship game but didn’t get the decision. “Mike has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve seen on the field,’’ said South Carolina’s Christian Walker, who played the last two games with a broken left wrist. “You want him out there even if he’s not 100 percent.’’ Among pitchers who have worked 30 innings at the CWS, Roth’s 1.17 ERA over 38 1/3 the past two years ranks second all-time behind Ohio State’s Steve Arlin, who had a 0.96 ERA over 47 innings in 1965-66. Roth came in with a 0.98 ERA for the season and held Florida without a run after it got leadoff men on base in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Roth left with two outs the next inning after giving up a double to Mike Zunino, who later scored on Josh Adams’ single off John Taylor. Matt Price worked 1 1-3 innings for his 20th save. Florida starter Karsten Whitson (8-1) came out strong, mixing in his mid-90s fastball to strike out three of the first six batters. But South Carolina scored three runs in the third after Mooney’s leadoff double into the left-field corner. The Pomeroy Merchants Association proudly presents The Duck Derby at this years Sternwheeler Festival. Keep tuned in for more details about the great prizes we have planned. Mooney scored on Wingo’s sacrifice fly, Evan Marzilli came home when shortstop Nolan Fontana swiped at and missed Walker’s grounder, and Brady Thomas brought in another run with his infield single. Whitson, a freshman who was the No. 9 overall draft pick by the San Diego Padres in 2010, left with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. Tommy Toledo came on to strike out Jake Williams. The Gators made it a two-run game when Zunino hit Roth’s 84mph slider into the seats in left for his 19th homer of the season and first off Roth since April 22. For all the great memories left behind at Rosenblatt, the Gamecocks already have created a bunch at the new stadium. There was Wingo’s bases-loaded single to beat Texas A&M in the bottom of the ninth in their opener. There was Price getting out of bases-loaded situations three times against Virginia on Friday before two errant throws on bunts produced the winning run. And then there was Wingo throwing out runners at home from second base with bases loaded in the ninth and 10th innings and left fielder Williams nailing Cody Dent at the plate in the 11th before Walker scored the winning run in the 11th on two Florida throwing errors. “Just the fact we can stay loose in situations like this,’’ Walker said. “These guys have an unbelievable amount of love for each other.’’ HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — James Jackson assumed that when he was offered a full football scholarship to Ohio State it meant that as long as he stayed out of trouble and kept up with his school work, the university would pay for his education for four years. He later discovered, that’s not always how it works. Jackson, a wide receiver, says he was asked to transfer after last season, two years into his college career. “They had an oversigning issue,” Jackson said. “They had to free up a few scholarships, and coach (Jim) Tressel told me I probably wouldn’t play and maybe Ohio State wasn’t the place for me.” Jackson said he didn’t understand when he was being recruited that all scholarships are only good for a year, subject to renewal at the discretion of the school. He was never told that he might be asked to transfer if he wasn’t performing up to expectations and the school wanted his scholarship for someone else. In response to cases similar to Jackson’s, California and Connecticut have passed legislation that will require colleges in those states to disclose the fine print of athletic scholarships to student athletes. Connecticut’s law, which passed the state House by a vote of 1403 and was unanimously approved by the Senate, will take effect on July 1. California’s, signed into law in 2010, will be fully implemented in 2012. Other states are considering similar legislation. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith denies the school forced Jackson to transfer. “Our policy is as James Jackson stated: As long as a student-athlete maintains his/her academic standing, behaves appropriately, and handles his/her responsibilities, he or she will retain their scholarship. We have no proof of any conversation between he and former head coach Jim Tressel,” he said in a statement to The Associated Press. The new laws require schools to disclose to all recruits the policies con- cerning the standards for scholarship renewals, sports-related medical expenses, and out-ofpocket expenses that students on athletic scholarships are expected to pay. Schools must post these details on the Internet and make that link available to recruits. Connecticut state Rep. Pat Dillon, D-New Haven, said she became aware of the issue when a constituent, whom she declined to name, was injured while on scholarship, then discovered the school would not pay her sports-related medical expenses. The NCAA said it requires athletes have insurance coverage for athletically related injuries up to $90,000. After that, the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program kicks in. Some schools provide athletes with health insurance, others require parents or the students to pay for it. “Families very often rely on schmoozing from recruiters who say things like, ‘The school will take care of you’,” Dillon said. “They don’t necessarily know what they are getting into when they start signing documents.” Ramogi Huma, a former UCLA linebacker, said he didn’t. Huma founded the National College Players Association after he graduated to support college athletes, and helped sponsor the legislation in California. He said he wasn’t aware of all the expenses he would be responsible for in college, such as phone bills and transportation and medical insurance. “Recruiters are fueling a lot of myths,” he said. “Chief among them is the four-year scholarship. Four-year scholarships don’t exist, so this bill will show recruits the truth and point out things they need to consider when making a choice.” Allen Sack, a professor of sports management at the University of New Haven, said the legislation also will help athletes comparison shop when choosing a university. It can cost a student up to $5,000 a year or more, out of pocket, to pay for school expenses that are not covered with a full athletic scholarship, he said. And because that amount varies so widely among schools, those who keep those costs down will now have a competitive advantage. Under the new laws, schools will have to spell out the differences between costs covered under scholarship. and the total yearly expenses of attending the school. “I want to send my son or daughter to a school where they treat them not as commodities, but as valuable human beings,” Sack said. “This kind of legislation will create competition among schools.” The NCAA has taken no position on the new laws, spokesman Erik Christianson said in an email.
