OBITUARIES Page A5 • JoAnna L. Council • Melvin Milliron • John S. Thomas • Vester (Jiggs) Walker WEATHER BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM PORTLAND – “We are here to celebrate and remember what took place on this very ground almost 150 years ago,” said Ted Prasse of the Ohio Historical Society, in dedicating the recently completed kiosk located in the Buffington Island Memorial Park at Portland. Prasse told the large crowd attending that the eight interpretive panels in the steel framed kiosk tells the story of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s raid through 20 counties in Southeastern Ohio, the arrival of his troops in Portland nearly a century and a half ago, their encounter with the Union military, and their defeat in a bloody battle. Passe said the kiosk, built by the Ohio Historical Society in cooperation with several organizations including the Meigs County Historical Society, stands as a “permanent reminder to today’s generation of those who fought and died in the battle of Buffington Island, the only Civil War battle fought on Ohio soil. In his talk Prasse also announced that next year the Heritage Trail, consisting of 57 markers tracking the trail taken by Morgan and his men across Southeastern Ohio and ending at Buffington Island, will all be in place. The interpretive signs will go up at Langsville, Cook’s Gap, the junction of SR 7 and SR 143, Rock Springs, Chester, Bashan, the edge of the woods at Johnson’s Camp, the south end of Dry Run, Old Portland Road, north of the village, Long Bottom, Reedsville, and Tuppers Plains. The Buffington Island sign is one of the eight installed in the kiosk. Others speaking briefly at the kiosk dedication, emceed by Jim Oiler of Cadot-Blessing Camp 126, Sons of Union Veterans, were Rep. Debbie Phillips who called on those attending to “nurture liberty and love of country;” Edd Sharp of the Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation who described the event as a “great day for Meigs County,” and Ralh Widowski of the Sons of Confederate Soldiers and a member of Morgan’s Men’s Association, asking that everyone “remember all Americans who fought and died in this battle” The honor guard of the Cabot-Blessing Camp 126, Sons of Union Veterans Civil War, opened the ceremony with a gun salute and concluded the kiosk dedication by leading those attending to the park’s Civil War monument where wreaths were laid in memory of those who gave their all in the battle of Buffington Island. Each of the eight interpretive panels of the kiosk tell a segment in the Battle of Buffington Island story, from when Morganʼs raiders entered the state to his capture. This 20x20 foot kiosk at the Buffington Island Memorial Park features eight interpretive signs which tell the story of Morganʼs raid in Ohio.

Walter Outstanding Educator Award, the Meigs Local School District’s special education subcommittee is the recipient. The award is presented annually by the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities (OCECD) to an educator or team of educators from each of Ohio’s sixteen SST regions who have demonstrated making a difference in the lives of students with disabilities by showing leadership among their colleagues. School district administrators are invited to nominate eligible recipients in the spring of each year. Winners chosen by each region are automatically award recipients at the state level, and were recognized at a banquet held in Columbus on June 22. The Meigs Local subcommittee has worked on improving instruction for students with disabilities by introducing a districtwide co-teaching initiative which has included components of staff surveys, on-going professional development, and a day-long waiver day devoted to issues surrounding co-teaching implementation. The committee meets twice monthly and has also worked on developing a monitoring tool to oversee the efficacy of the co-teaching initiative and has worked to change Meigs Local School District’s Improvement Plan to include a co-teaching component. Members of the committee are Karla Brown, David Deem, Beth Duffy, Lisa Froehlich, Mary Hawk, Lorri Lightle, Stacie Roach, Pam Vogt, Bill Francis and Bonnie Williams. The award is named in honor of Dr. Franklin B. Walter who served as Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1977 to 1991, the longest post held by any state superintendent in Ohio’s history. Dr. Walter is hugely credited for the development of the nation’s first statewide plan for addressing the needs of children with disabilities.

Call the Meigs Senior Center (740)992-2161 �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND Ohio governor names 8 to nonprofit jobcreation panel COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich named a highpowered line-up of business and education executives Monday to the state's new semi-private job creation board, including four whose companies have benefited from recent state development incentives. Kasich's JobsOhio board will include his top jobs adviser, the president of Ohio State University, the chief executives of Bob Evans, Procter & Gamble and Marathon Petroleum and four others. The Republican governor named eight of nine members Monday. Outside the panel's meeting, he praised the roster of recruits as a great start for Ohio's new economic development engine. "People should make great note of the fact that this is a really terrific board," he said. The panel is charged with the job creation role formerly played by the Ohio Department of Development. Members will serve staggered terms lasting one to four years and won't get paid for their work. Their first task was to set job criteria and salary parameters for selecting a day-to-day director, whom Kasich said will be paid well and be eligible for performance bonuses. The four-year board appointments went to Steven Davis, CEO of Bob Evans Farms; Gary Heminger, CEO of Marathon; James Boland, retired Ernst & Young vice chairman and former head of the Cavaliers Operating Co.; and C. Martin Harris, chief information officer and chairman of the Cleveland Clinic's Information Technology Division. Boland will also serve as the board's chairman. Two-year appointments were given to Pamela Springer, the head of Manta Media, and Mark Kvamme (pronounced KWAH-mee), a Silicon Valley venture capitalist Page A3 Kasich initially enlisted for the salary of $1 to help energize the economy. Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee and P&G CEO Bob McDonald were appointed to oneyear terms. JobsOhio will work closely with six existing regional economic development organizations that were asked to create proposals for coordinating strategies, as well as working with the state Development Department. According to information from the department, four companies of newly appointed board members have been offered business development incentive packages similar to those that JobsOhio will handle over the past 15 months. Procter & Gamble was offered $18.7 million in March 2010. Marathon was offered a combined $79.8 million in tax credits and grants in April, and Bob Evans was offered an $11.1 million package of state loans tax credits, grants and a workforce guarantee that same month. Manta, a Columbus-based Web destination for small business networking, was offered about $1.4 million in state incentives last month. Department spokeswoman Bethany McCorkle said the offers are in various states of being accepted. Jobs-Ohio's role in packaging similar future offers is still undetermined, she said. She said the board will make recommendations to the state, which the Development Department will accept or reject. The state Controlling Board, a panel of lawmakers, or the Tax Credit Authority will have final say on the deals. "Hypothetically, if an offer would come up for a company involved in the (JobsOhio) board, they would have to recuse themselves, they wouldn't be involved in the decision on that issue," she said. It is the third adminis- tration job in six months for Kvamme, who has resigned from an interim post as Kasich's job-creation director. He was initially appointed state development director, a Cabinet position, but was removed amid legal questions regarding his California residency. The board picked him Monday as JobsOhio's chief investment officer. The Kvamme residency glitch was only one of the legal and legislative challenges that have faced JobsOhio as the Kasich administration has sought to partially privatize the state's economic development functions. State legislators had to close an apparent loophole in legislation creating JobsOhio that could have allowed panel members to take jobseeking trips paid for by corporations without having to report them to the public. They also removed the governor as chairman of the new board and made other legal tweaks after a lawsuit filed in April raised seven constitutional questions about its setup. The Ohio Ethics Commission also raised concerns over some provisions of the bill creating the board, which includes broad exemptions from public records, open meetings, ethics and collective bargaining laws. With those issues now behind him, Kasich said he believes Ohio has put in place a model other states are already seeking to emulate. "This is great. We're off to a very, very good start," he said after formalizing the appointments. "They'll run it like any other board, and we're going to check and double check to make sure that we get this thing right. But I'm excited because I think it gives us the ability to move quicker to help companies to expand and to get some other companies." Tuesday, July 12, 2011 A S K D R . B RO T H E R S Parents set strict driving rules BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My parents are being really stupid about all the restrictions they can think of that will take away the fun of driving their car. I don't mind going to driving school and taking the safety course in school and all that. But my folks have decided I can't use my cell phone, even with a hands-free headset. All my friends are making fun of me because they are allowed to drive like grownups. How can I convince them that I am a really good driver? — T.G. Dear T.G.: Sometimes it seems like happiness is just around the next corner but you never quite make it there. First there are all sorts of restrictions imposed by the state or the driving class or whoever, restricting driving with friends or after dark or some other nonsense. Then there are all the training hours and tests you have to go through — what a bummer! When you finally have your license, your parents won't even let you cut loose. I wonder why? Well, the answer might be found in some of those horrendous scare-tactic videos you've probably been forced to watch — there's no more lethal weapon on the planet than a car driven by a teenager such as yourself. I am sorry your friends are making fun of you. Their parents might not care quite as much about Dr. Joyce Brothers their safety as they do about their popularity. Your parents are trying to keep you safe for as long as it takes for you to build up a good amount of experience. Being alert and quick to respond to a situation are great assets that can lead to you being a good driver. But only with time comes the ability to draw upon experience, understand what is likely to happen next and drive defensively. Talking on the phone while driving definitely doesn't enhance your chances. Dear Dr. Brothers: My family is too poor to send me to college, and I am really getting depressed. All my life, I have dreamed of going away to a university or even a small college. I want to meet people from all over and talk with them and my professors about any subject under the sun. But it isn't going to happen. My parents are not educationoriented, and the school counselor has given up trying to help me get a scholarship. How will I ever pretend this is OK? — P.H. Dear P.H.: Have your heard of a dream deferred? Sometimes we just have to wait a little longer to fulfill our wishes, and this may be one of those times. Just because you don't go off to college the autumn following your highschool graduation doesn't mean you will never get there. I am sure it will be painful knowing that many of your classmates are beginning classes while you are looking for a job. But there are many things you can do to lift that depression, and one of them is to start raising money yourself if you haven't already done so. It doesn't take a lot of money to go to some colleges — especially a large state school or a small community college. You might discover an entrepreneurial ability if you focus on creative ways to reach your goal. You also can hang out at a local college, rules permitting, and see if there might be an opportunity for auditing a class or two. Go on the Internet and take a couple of courses from an online university. Volunteer or intern in the field of your choice. There's a lot of educating to be done while you are waiting for the funds to accumulate, and colleges will take note of your willingness to finance your own education and start learning about your field before you even get there. Don't give up — you sound like you have what it takes to succeed and be happy. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Meigs High School CONGRATULATIONS!

Washington Morgan Meigs Consortium �OPINION Page A4 Tuesday, July 12, 2011 Hypnotist principal faces NY charter school throws questions after suicides foster kids a safety net BY MITCH STACY ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTH PORT, Fla. — High school principal George Kenney acknowledged using hypnosis to help people: students who needed to relax before tests, a basketball player having trouble making free throws and even school secretaries who wanted to quit smoking. But now the popular 51-year-old principal’s future at North Port High School is in question since it came to light that he had hypnotized two students before their separate suicides this spring. There is no indication their deaths were any more than a tragic coincidence. However, Kenney acknowledged conducting the sessions after being warned by his boss to stop such one-on-one hypnosis with students at school. Most students, teachers and fellow administrators at the southwest Florida school were aware that Kenney was a trained hypnotist who would eagerly help those who sought him out for sessions, according to a school district report. Students looked forward to his demonstrations in a psychology class and at other school events. In April, according to the Sarasota County School District report, he hypnotized a 16-year-old student to help him better focus on a test. The next day, the boy committed suicide. Kenney was put on leave in May when the boy’s parents, who had given their permission for the sessions, raised concerns after his death. The administrator’s situation then got stickier when an investigation showed that he had also hypnotized another student five months before her May 4 suicide, initially lied about it and had defied three separate verbal warnings to stop the sessions with students. A 134-page independent investigative report released by the district last week includes an interview with Kenney, who acknowledged defying the orders and then lying. “I’m not saying I used great judgment all the time here,” he told an investigator. “I think I used poor judgment several times.” But the report also reflects the support and affection Kenney enjoys at the 2,300-student high school, about 90 miles south of Tampa. Two Facebook pages, one with more than 1,600 fans, have been created to support Kenney, principal of North Port High since its opening in 2001. Some students who were hypnotized say it helped them with sports and academics. Many students and staff credit him with guiding the school through a time of grief. In March, before the two suicides, a 16year-old football player was killed in a car crash, which followed the traffic death of a teacher killed driving to school in November. Kenney is the “glue that just holds the school together,” said his administrative assistant, Dianna McLaren. Kenney declined to comment through his attorney, Mark Zimmerman, who said there is no “causal connection” between the hypnosis sessions and the suicides. Both students had sought Kenney’s help with test anxiety and had signed permission slips from their parents, Zimmerman said.

Kenney was more than a hobbyist when it came to hypnosis. He wrote four books about using hypnosis in defeating test anxiety and mastering baseball and basketball skills. He trained at a Florida hypnosis center and was a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and the National Board of Hypnosis Education and Certification. He told investigators he has worked with around 36 students — with parental permission — in the past couple years, mostly on test anxiety, athletic performance and anger management. He also worked with several of the school’s sports teams, staff members and their families. “Dr. Kenney isn’t doing any hocus-pocus,” Ann Brandenberger, a psychology teacher at the high school, told an investigator. “That is just what this has been blown into.” According to the report, Kenney would have people close their eyes and visualize something serene as he talked them into a state of “deep relaxation,” then would suggest to them that they will feel calm and focused before a test, sporting event or other activity. BY LARRY NEUMEISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A Harvard-trained administrator thought she had heard it all as a gatekeeper in a city office responsible for supporting charter schools when Bill Baccaglini walked enthusiastically through the door with one more idea. “I thought, ‘Here we go, another big idea,’” recalled Jessica Nauiokas. But she found herself liking his plans so much that she offered to be the Bronx school’s principal. “I walked out of the meeting and said, ‘Wow. That actually is a compelling idea.’” Thus explains how Nauiokas became principal at the Haven Academy Charter School, where a third of students are in foster care. Another third are in families receiving preventive services to diminish the need for foster care. The rest are from the Mott Haven community, which is in a Congressional district where a soaring poverty rate keeps a third of residents on public assistance. Many schools cater to disadvantaged children, but Haven Academy is unique because it houses hundreds of counselors in the same building. It was impossible to find a blueprint for the school, Baccaglini said. “We searched and searched and searched but we couldn’t find models,” he said. It’s such a novel project, he added, that it might be a few years before it can be fully evaluated with an eye toward replicating it. “Schools aren’t organized in a way to accommodate how chaotic their (students’) lives are outside of the four walls of school,” he said. The counselors work in the Bronx Community Services offices of the 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 school’s sponsor, the New York Foundling, a 142year-old citywide private child welfare agency. Baccaglini is the agency’s executive director. The school features a small student-teacher ratio, an extended school day, many tutor options and special training to keep teachers consistent in the language they use and their responses to problems, Nauiokas said. The school opened in 2008 with 90 students in kindergarten and first grade. Last year, the student population swelled to 175 as grade three was added and a newly renovated $32.5 million building was opened. Private donations are sought for two-thirds of the costs. The rest was publicly financed. Next school year, 40 to 50 new students will arrive as the fourth grade is added. The charter school hopes to close the achievement gap between students from stable backgrounds and children from troubled families, said Baccaglini, who worked in state government before joining the Foundling in 2003. “Even though their world outside of school is falling apart, we want to keep their educational experience as consistent as possible,” he said. The school was one of 124 charter schools in the city this year, said James Merriman, chief executive officer of the New York City Charter School Center. He said many schools work with social services agencies but he knows of none that cater to those in the foster care system and partner so closely with an agency. “That’s what makes it such an interesting model,” he said. It’s a comfortable environment for children, said 9-year-old Arthur Dash, who’s entering the fourth grade. “They’re not going to keep pushing and pushing you. They’re going to lead right up to it,” he said. “If there’s a problem, there’s a solution too, Dash added, referring to the counselors. The school’s staff played a pivotal role in identifying Arthur’s emotional outbursts as an emerging problem and suggesting where he could get treatment, said his mother, Nicole Zenon. “In a public school, they would have just labeled him a disruptive child and let him go,” she said. Zenon said she has the cellphone numbers of almost all the school’s teachers and that sometimes the principal answers when she calls there. No students have been kicked out for behavioral problems, Baccaglini said. “These are kids in the child welfare system. We expect them to produce some behavior issues,” he said. Haven Academy solves problems as they arise, said Perla Jimenez, a parent of two students. She cited the school’s relaxed reaction to a time when she could not clean school uniforms in time for class, the kind of issue that leads some parents to keep children home from school. “They would just allow me to take the kids to school in regular clothes,” she said. Ingrid Bonds, a music teacher who came from Philadelphia where she had worked at a new charter school years ago, said she noticed differences right away. “What I love about this administration are the tools they’ve given me as far as love and logic, to redirect certain behavior,” she said. “At my old charter school, yelling was accepted and I don’t want to yell.” “I want them to think learning is fun,” she said.

Stone’s widow, Jenny, and their 6-year-old son, Cooper, walked hand-inhand behind a fire truck carrying his casket on a scorching day in central Texas. The pallbearers included 10 fellow firefighters, men who knew Stone and some given their nicknames by the 18-year veteran of the Brownwood Fire Department. More than 60 emergency vehicles were in the line of cars headed to a cemetery eight miles from the church. Trash collectors and farmers pulled over to join hundreds of people lining the streets, hands over their hearts, as the procession passed by. Nearly 1,000 people crowded inside the church for a private memorial honoring Stone, with speakers fondly recalling his kindness, love of baseball and skill as both a firefighter and a loving father. Fire department chaplain David Fair read notes from family members and friends. He kept the mood light, telling funny stories and offering a Top 10 list that actually had 11 items because, a relative joked, Stone wasn’t the best at math. He said the couple had only one child because Stone loved Cooper so much he didn’t know whether he had any more love to give. Johnson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Russek II knew Stone for more than 20 years and worked with his father and brother. He found the service “uplifting.” “They really, really captured the essence of what he was — a really good guy with a good sense of humor,” Russek said. “He cared about people, like a true servant.” Stone had taken young Cooper to a Rangers game in Arlington on Thursday night, interrupting the three-hour drive with a stop to buy the boy a new glove. They were sitting in left field behind Cooper’s favorite player, Josh Hamilton. Hamilton threw them a foul ball in the second inning, but the thrill quickly turned tragic. Stone fell headfirst about 20 feet onto concrete, with Cooper watching. Witnesses said Stone was conscious after landing and spoke about Cooper being left alone. Stone was pronounced dead within an hour; an autopsy ruled the cause as blunt force trauma from the fall. Stone, a Brownwood firefighter since 1993, was voted Firefighter of the Year twice by his peers, according to the mayor, and had risen to the rank of lieutenant. He also worked as a paramedic, and as a rescue technician at Texas Motor Speedway. He also was involved in disaster relief following Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, and fighting wildfires. “When you’re married to someone that’s a first responder ... you always are leery that you’re going to get that phone call or you’re going to have the chaplain come,” said Trease Burke, whose husband, Scotty, was a Brownwood police officer for 14 years and is now on the Lake Patrol. “You don’t expect it to be a freak accident.” In 2007, Stone and another firefighter ran into a smoke-filled home in nearby Bangs to rescue a woman in her 70s, according to story in the Brownwood Bulletin newspaper. He received a distinguished service award from the department for bravery and dedication, but explained the heroics as simply being “in the right place at the right time.” Scotty Burke described Stone as “a firefighter’s firefighter.” He recalled that during the town’s annual, three-day reunion celebration, Stone cooked barbecue for the officers and firefighters working the event. “He always did it out of his pocket,” Burke said. Smiling, he added, “And it was good. I used to work in a barbecue restaurant, so I know good barbecue.” Like many leaving visitation at a funeral home Sunday night, Burke’s voice cracked with emotion. Mayor Stephen Haynes said Stone’s family was trying to celebrate his life, “but it’s still difficult to accept, obviously, the nature of the death and the timing of the death and the way that it happened.” Many people came out of the visitation holding tissues, tears in their eyes. Most declined to be interviewed, citing the family’s wishes. “Brownwood is a tight place,” Burke said. “When something like this happens, people come together and they take care of you.” Brownwood is a town of about 20,000 residents in the Texas Hill Country, some 150 miles west of the Rangers’ stadium in Arlington. Flags across the area have been at half-staff since Friday, with several wreaths and a dozen yellow roses left in his memory at a monument outside the fire department. “We’re a small town,” Haynes said. “We’re not (small) enough that everyone knows everyone, but we are small enough that everyone is impacted in some way. Everyone has a friend or family member who was close to that family.” Haynes said there already has been discussion of a permanent way to remember Stone. “Certainly we’re going to do what we can to keep his memory and the honor of what he stands for alive for as long as we can,” Haynes said. Jarratt Lawler grew up with Stone in Cleburne, about 100 miles from Brownwood. They weren’t especially close, but renewed acquaintances a year ago at their 20-year high school reunion. Lawler was so moved by Stone’s death that he drove 31⁄2 hours from McKinney with his pregnant wife and young daughter to pay his respects on Sunday because he couldn’t make it to the funeral. “He was an all-around good guy,” Lawler said. “He was just always trying to help people, always did the right things.” NFL stumbling blocks: free agency, rookie wages NEW YORK (AP) — A rookie wage scale and free agency for veterans appear to be the biggest stumbling blocks to ending the NFL lockout. Several people with knowledge of the talks tell The Associated Press that such key issues as splitting total revenues — the major reason for the dispute — the salary cap, fewer offseason workouts and the length of a new collective bargaining agreement are close to being completed. The people spoke anonymously because details are supposed to remain private. Owners and players are to meet again, beginning Tuesday, after two days of long negotiations last week. Lawyers from both sides are to meet Monday. The sticky topics include limits on rookie salaries and signing bonuses. Another is the number of transition tags for free agents, with right of first refusal. With training camps scheduled to open in less than two weeks for some teams, time is growing short to reach an agreement to end the nearly four-month lockout without a disruption to the preseason. With courtappointed mediator Arthur Boylan on vacation this week, the two sides plan to negotiate in New York, where last Friday talks were slowed by differences over the rookie wage scale and guidelines for unrestricted free agents. NFL owners have long sought to restrict the huge bonuses and salaries paid to unproven rookies, particularly those selected high in the draft. Quarter- back Sam Bradford, the 2010 top overall pick by St. L o u i s, NOTEBOOK signed a six-year, $78 million contract that included a record $50 million in guaranteed money. The NFLPA insists that money diverted from the rookies go to veteran players; some also would go for retired players’ benefits. The main disagreement right now is how deep into the first round the rookie wage scale would apply, perhaps eight picks, perhaps twice that many. Some owners also are seeking longer contracts for rookies. In addition, the owners are pushing for more restrictions in free agency, which the players “vehemently oppose,” one of the people familiar with the negotiations said. Who pays how much to a so-called “legacy fund” to help retired players has become somewhat contentious. Originally, the funding was to be 50-50 between the owners and the players. There has been no agreement yet on that breakdown. Whenever a deal is struck, it will be anywhere from six to 10 years. It also will include mechanisms for ending the CBA early, as happened with the 2006 agreement that the owners opted out of in 2008, leading to no salary cap in 2010 and, ultimately, to the lockout. The owners have a labor meeting scheduled for July 21 in Atlanta.

Sharpe to be presented by brother Sterling at Hall CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Shannon Sharpe has chosen his older brother, former star receiver Sterling Sharpe, as his presenter when he is enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month. The Hall announced the presenters for the Aug. 6 ceremony on Monday. Bears defensive end Richard Dent picked Joe Gilliam, his coordinator at Tennessee State. Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders selected their agents: Rocky Arceneaux and Eugene Parker, respectively. Former Redskins linebacker Chris Hanburger and NFL Films founder Ed Sabol chose their sons. Steve Sabol succeeded his father as president of NFL Films. Jon Richter will represent his late father, Los Angeles Rams linebacker Les Richter, who is being enshrined posthumously. Sterling Sharpe played for the Packers from 198894, while Shannon was a record-setting tight end for the Broncos. Marshall safety Donald Brown kicked off team HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall safety Donald Brown has been dismissed from the football team for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Marshall announced the dismissal Monday in a one-sentence statement. No details were provided. Brown started all 12 games last season. He tied for the team lead with three interceptions and was fourth in team tackles with 75. Steelers’ Hines Ward arrested on DUI charge in Georgia DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward was arrested early Saturday outside Atlanta on a drunken driving charge, sheriff’s officials said. The former Super Bowl MVP and reigning “Dancing With the Stars” champ was booked into the DeKalb County jail at 3:41 a.m. and charged with driving under the influence. A jail official said he was released on $1,300 bond, though the sheriff’s office website said his bond was set at $1,000. The discrepancy couldn’t be immediately resolved Saturday. The sheriff’s office said it had turned over paperwork to the courts and couldn’t release any further information about the player’s arrest. DeKalb County police did not return repeated emails and phone calls seeking details of the arrest. Atlanta lawyer Andrew Ree issued a statement saying the 35-year-old Ward cooperated fully with police and truthfully answered their questions. “From our preliminary investigation we can tell you that we are confident that the facts will show that Hines was NOT impaired by alcohol while driving,” Ree wrote. “However, Hines is deeply saddened by this incident and apologizes to his fans and the Steelers organization for this distraction.” A Steelers spokesman did not immediately respond to a message. Since being drafted in the third round out of Georgia in 1998, Ward has been a four-time Pro Bowl selection, playing on teams that won two Super Bowls. Dancing with professional partner Kym Johnson, Ward in May became the second professional football player to win the “Dancing” crown after Emmitt Smith won in 2006. He bested actresses Kirstie Alley and Chelsea Kane to become the season 12 champion of the TV celebrity dance competition. Trial set for W.Va. man accused of killing ex-coach WAYNE, W.Va. (AP) — An October trial date has been set for a West Virginia man charged with killing a longtime former high school football coach. Wayne County Circuit Judge Darrell Pratt set an Oct. 3 trial date Friday for 52-year-old Clinton Douglas Skeens of Huntington. Skeens is charged with killing former Wayne High School football coach Jess “Scott” Jarrell on Dec. 31, 2010. The 73-year-old Jarrell was found stabbed to death in his home several hours after he told state police he killed Jarrell. Jarrell coached the Pioneers from 1966 to 1985. Media outlets report that Skeens pleaded not guilty to the charge via videoconference during an arraignment on Friday. He is lodged at the Western Regional Jail. If convicted, Skeens faces life in prison. www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A9 Cordero, Reds lose to Brewers 4-3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Suddenly, closer Francisco Cordero is struggling — the latest in a series of setbacks for the Cincinnati Reds. Cordero allowed another late rally on Sunday, and the defending NL Central champions entered the All-Star break with a rough 4-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Cordero also gave away the game Friday night against the Brewers, his former team. “I’m not doing my job right now,” Cordero said. “It doesn’t feel good. If I still want to have a job I’ve got to do better than what I’m doing right now.” And the Brewers’ ninth-inning comeback wasn’t even led by their big-slugging stars. Pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay, who came through with the big hit on Friday, tied it with an RBI single, scoring Nyjer Morgan. With the bases loaded and one out, pinch-hitter Craig Counsell delivered a sacrifice fly to win the game. “It was so fun before these last four games,” Cordero said. “I was fine. I was pitching good. I was all smiles, but (I’ve) just got to stop doing this.” Reds manager Dusty Baker didn’t have any easy answers for why Cordero is struggling. “Man I don’t know,” Baker sad. “He was throwing the ball so well until this week. This was a bad week for Coco and a bad week for us.” Cordero also hit Rickie Weeks during his ninthinning meltdown, but said it wasn’t intentional. “I don’t want to hit him,” Cordero said. “I don’t want to hit anybody, especially a guy I played with.” The Brewers’ rally ruined a return to the big leagues by Dontrelle Willis, who gave up a pair of runs over six innings for Cincinnati. “A little too excited early, but I had fun competing against a great ballclub,” Willis said. “I just wanted to go out there and give it a good outing. I feel like I did that.” After sending struggling starter Edinson Volquez to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, the Reds turned to Willis to start Sunday’s game. The former Florida Marlins standout had been pitching in Louisville after failing to make the Reds coming out of spring training. “He was a little shaky, but got better as the game went on,” Baker said. “Probably a little jittery, a little nervous, first time back after a long time. But after he settled down, he found the strike zone. Willis even contributed at the plate, doubling in the sixth inning. Willis grabbed his left thigh after arriving at second base and received attention from the Reds’ train- AP photo Cincinnati Reds’ Jay Bruce, right, makes the catch on a ball hit by Milwaukee Brewers’ Casey McGehee in the second inning of a baseball game in Milwaukee. Brandon Phillips avoids the collision on the play. ing staff, but stayed in the game Milwaukee again was without Ryan Braun, who has missed the team’s last eight games with a lingering calf strain. Braun will not play in Tuesday’s All-Star game but said he expects to be ready to return when the Brewers resume play in Colorado on Thursday. The Reds took the lead after a throwing error by Weeks while trying to turn a double play allowed a run in the fourth. Brewers starter Randy Wolf went seven innings, giving up seven hits and three runs, two earned. Wolf nearly gave himself a big boost at the plate in the second, coming a few feet away from a home run when he hit a long fly ball over the fence near the foul pole in right field. Umpires ruled the drive was foul and the call was confirmed on a replay review. Baker was ready for the fishing trip he planned to take during the break. “Boy, that doesn’t make for a very pleasant All-Star break,” Baker said. “But it’s the same way we ended last year against the Phillies. If that’s any kind of sign, we have to rebound the same way we always have.” DA in Vegas eyeing ‘Pacman’ case after Ohio arrest LAS VEGAS (AP) — NFL football player Adam “Pacman” Jones might face up to a year in jail in Nevada for violating a probation stay-outof-trouble order following his weekend arrest in Cincinnati, the top prosecutor in Las Vegas said Monday. Clark County District Attorney David Roger said that before he takes the case to a Nevada judge, he’ll review police accounts of the arrest of the 27-year-old Cincinnati Bengals cornerback on resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges at an Ohio bar. Jones was sentenced to one year of probation in February for his role in a 2007 Las Vegas strip club melee that left three people shot. “One of the conditions of his probation was that he stay out of trouble,” Roger told The Associated Press. “We haven’t seen the reports yet.” Jones’ lawyer in Las Vegas, Robert Langford, told AP that based on his client’s account of the arrest, charges in Ohio may have to be dropped. Langford declined to provide specifics. “Based on the facts I’ve heard, it will resolve in our favor,” he said. The case adds to a list of off-field troubles for Jones, the 2005 firstround draft pick of the Tennessee Titans. He’s been arrested at least six other times over the years, and has been involved in about a dozen situations that included police intervention. He was suspended by the league for the entire 2007 season and six games in 2008 following off-field incidents. He sat out the 2009 season before signing a two-year deal in May 2010 to play for Cincinnati. Authorities in Cincinnati reported Jones tried to pull away from police after he was accused of shouting profanities in a Cincinnati bar. Jones denied the allegations after leaving jail. He told WCPO-TV in that he hadn’t been drinking and was out with his wife to celebrate her birthday. “I was not yelling at the police. I did not yell profanity at the police,” he said. Jones, who was wearing a neck brace, said he had been recovering from a neck injury that required surgery but was expecting to play this year. A Bengals spokesman said the team had no com- ment on the most recent arrest. The team is prohibited from having contact with Jones because of the NFL lockout. Roger is the Nevada prosecutor who gained a 2008 jury conviction of pro football hall of famer O.J. Simpson in a 2007 armed robbery and kidnapping case. Simpson is now serving nine to 33 years in a Nevada prison. Roger said it could be several weeks before he receives and reviews the Cincinnati police reports on Jones’ arrest and decides whether to take the case to a Clark County District Court judge. “We’re in a holding pattern until then,” he said. Jones pleaded no contest in December 2007 in Las Vegas to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, after agreeing to testify against the accused shooter in the strip club melee during NBA All-Star Weekend. Authorities had blamed Jones for instigating the fracas by showering strippers with hundreds of $1 bills. The shootings occurred minutes after Jones and his entourage were ejected from the club. A bouncer, Tommy Urbanski, was left paralyzed from the waist down. The shooter, Arvin Kenti Edwards, 32, of Renton, Wash., has pleaded an equivalent of no contest to attempted murder with a deadly weapon. He is being held at the Clark County jail pending sentencing July 21. A co-defendant with Jones, Robert Reid, 31, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct. He is free pending sentencing Aug. 25.

After several days of speculation, Vrabel officially retired from the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday and also announced he was returning to Ohio State as a linebackers coach. He’ll take the spot vacated by his former roommate and teammate, Luke Fickell, who was elevated to head coach after Jim Tressel was forced to resign on May 30. Vrabel believes his playing days relate and translate to his new job. But that doesn’t mean he’ll often be sporting the three Super Bowl rings he won with the New England Patriots. “I haven’t worn them since the day I got them,” he said at a news conference on Monday morning in the Buckeyes’ practice facility. “Once you win them, you don’t really have to wear them. People know that you won the Super Bowl and you helped contribute to a championship team. I don’t anticipate, you know, putting three rings on and going out on a recruiting trip.” The 35-year-old Vrabel played four years for the Pittsburgh Steelers, eight seasons with the Patriots and, for the past two years, the Kansas City Chiefs. He said working with so many young players on the Chiefs roster was good preparation for a coaching career. “I got plenty of practice,” he said of coaching. “That’s a young football team. It was a great role to go out there and play. And not only help them on the field but help guys in the locker room and film room. I was blessed to have a lot of great coaches. But these last two years, when you’re coaching 20- and 21-year-old guys that are fresh out of college, that’s probably helped me the most.” Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, who sent a second-round draft pick for Vrabel and quarterback Matt Cassel before the 2009 season, called Vrabel a winner. “His genuine love for the game, his preparation, his work ethic, leadership and dependability are qualities you want from every player,” Pioli said. “He is a champion in every sense of the word and I’m confident all of these qualities will make him a great coach. I cannot overstate my respect for him as a person and a football player.” Vrabel lettered from 1993-96 at Ohio State when John Cooper was the head coach. He was a two-time Big Ten defensive player of the year. As a senior in high school in Akron, his host on his official recruiting visit to Ohio State was Fickell. “Mike is something that our kids obviously emulate,” Fickell said. “They want to be like him and what he’s done here at Ohio State, what he’s done in the NFL and obviously what he’s done later in life as a father and husband. It’s a great role model.” Active in the NFL Players Association’s executive committee and its negotiations with the league, Vrabel said he was unsure if he would have retired if there were no lockout going on in the pros. He also conceded that he had grown tired of gearing up for another new season. “I just came to the point where I couldn’t train to prepare for an NFL season. I’m not going to pretend I can do it anymore,” he said. “This is where I want to be.” While with the Patriots in 2007 he had 54 solo tackles, 12 1/2 sacks and forced four fumbles and was selected to the Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams for the only time in his career. He finished with 742 tackles and 57 sacks in 206 games. He was also known during his Patriots days as a short-yardage or goal-line fullback/tight end. He caught 10 career passes — every one going for a touchdown. Fickell said he consulted several people about the pitfalls of hiring a close friend. “(Vrabel) said to me, ‘Give me a reason to retire,’” Fickell said. “I remember going to (Ohio State men’s basketball) coach (Thad) Matta and asking him, ‘Can you hire your best friend?’ He knew what I was talking about. He said very clearly, ‘Yes, you make sure you set the standards and the guidelines of what you need to have done.’” Vrabel has had at least two skirmishes with the law. During his Ohio State playing days, he was arrested along with a teammate for beating up a man in a bar parking lot in Kent, Ohio. They eventually pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct, paid a fine and performed 30 hours of community service. Their attorney in that case was Chris Cicero, the Columbus lawyer and former Ohio State walk-on who sent emails to Tressel in April 2010 that players were taking improper benefits from a tattoo-parlor owner. Just this past April, Jeter homers for 3,000th hit NEW YORK (AP) — This was so Derek Jeter. Pressure mounting, time running out, all eyes on him at Yankee Stadium. He delivered — and then some — on a defining day in his championship career. Jeter homered deep into the left-field bleachers for his 3,000th career hit, making him the first New York Yankees player to reach the mark. He tied a career best by going 5 for 5. And he capped Saturday’s show by singling home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. “Just one of those special days,” Jeter said. Mobbed by his pinstriped pals after the ball sailed into the seats, showered by ovations from his fans, Jeter stood alone in Yankees lore. A fitting crown for the captain, on a sunny afternoon when it seemed he could do anything he wanted in a 5-4 win over Tampa Bay. Almost as if he saved his best swing of the season to counter his critics and doubters, to prove that he still was, indeed, Derek Jeter. How else to explain it? His first home run in the Bronx this year, for No. 3,000. “You want to hit the ball hard,” he said. “I didn’t want to hit a slow roller to third base and have it be replayed forever.” “It’s a number that’s meant a lot in baseball,” he said. “To be the only Yankee to do anything is special.” Oh, and for good measure: Jeter stole a base, too. For any hitter, a perfect game. Something out of “The Natural,” really. “I don’t think you can script it any better,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “This is already movie-ready.” With a swift swing of his shiny black bat, Jeter jolted himself into historic company, hitting a solo home run off All-Star ace David Price in the third inning. He became the 28th major leaguer to hit the mark and joined former teammate Wade Boggs as the only players to do it with a home run. Jeter watched the ball fly as he left the batter’s box and gave a big clap as New York Yankees' Derek Jeter, right, hugs teammate Jorge Posada after hitting a home run for his 3,000th career hit during the third inning of a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday at Yankee Stadium in New York. Jeter became the first Yankees player to reach 3,000. AP photo he rounded first base. Rays first baseman Casey Kotchman was the first to salute Jeter, doffing his cap as Jeter passed by. “Hitting a home run was the last thing I was thinking about,” Jeter said. “I was pretty relieved.” By then, all of Jeter’s teammates were already celebrating in the dugout, raising their arms almost in unison. A special time for No. 2 — his second hit of the game, and right at 2 p.m. He looked every bit like a spry 27-year-old with those bright green eyes and an even brighter future, rather than a 37year-old shortstop with his best days behind him. Jeter finished the day with 3,003 hits. The only thing left, it seemed, was a triple — Jeter has never hit for the cycle. Instead, he singled in the sixth, and bounced a tiebreaking single through a drawn-in infield. “I was expecting the triple,” Yankees closer Mariano Rivera kidded. “That’s the way it is.” The prize ball, one of the specially marked ones put in play for the occasion once Jeter got to 2,999 hits, disappeared into a cluster of fans a few rows beyond the wall. Christian Lopez of Highland Mills, N.Y., sitting in Section 236, emerged with the valuable memento after it bounced off his father’s hand. The 23-year-old former football player from St. Lawrence University gladly gave the ball back to Jeter, saying it never occurred to him to keep it. The Yankees rewarded him with four tickets to every game for the rest of the year, and memorabilia autographed by Jeter — three bats, three balls and two jerseys. “Mr. Jeter deserved it,” Lopez said. “It’s all his.” Jeter 3K merchandise, meanwhile, began flying off the shelves at the souvenir stands. Hats, pins, shirts and more, all commemorating No. 3,000, hadn’t gone on sale until it occurred. True to his nature of staying focused on the game, Jeter briskly rounded the bases. When Boggs got his 3,000th, he knelt down and kissed home plate. Not Jeter’s style. But there was no way this moment was would pass without plenty of fanfare. Posada, his good buddy, greeted Jeter with a bear hug after he crossed the plate. Rivera and the rest of the Yankees were right behind, swallowing up Jeter before he could reach the dugout. The bullpen gate swung open, too, as New York’s relievers came pouring in. All the Yankees greats left their distinct marks. Babe Ruth set the home run record, Lou Gehrig became the Iron Horse, Joe DiMaggio hit in 56 straight games, Yogi Berra won the most championships, Mickey Mantle launched the longest drives. They all won World Series rings, certainly, with Jeter owning five. The 3,000 hits, that will be Jeter’s legacy forever. Vrabel was arrested for theft from an Indiana riverboat casino. The charge will be dropped if he isn’t charged with another crime for 180 days, according to a diversion agreement signed in late June. Ohio State has been through a tumultuous last few months. Five players were suspended last December for the first five games of the upcoming season for taking cash and discounted tattoos from a Columbus businessman. Ohio State later discovered Cicero’s emails to Tressel. Tressel was required by his contract and NCAA rules to report any possible violations involving his players, yet he did not report anything to his superiors for more than nine months. Shortly after he was pressured to step down, star quarterback Terrelle Pryor — one of the suspended players — gave up his senior season for a shot at playing in the NFL. In a related matter, a source close to the Ohio State program has disclosed that Dorian Bell, a linebacker from Monroeville, Pa., was also handed a five-game suspension last week by the NCAA. Bell, a redshirt sophomore, had already been suspended for the entire 2011 season by Tressel for an undisclosed violation of team policy. Ex-NFL Bengal killed by Calif deputy in scuffle BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — A former running back for the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals was shot and killed Sunday in front of a convenience store after he allegedly hit a police officer with a bag holding two cans of beer. David Lee “Deacon” Turner, 56, was shot and killed by a Kern County deputy. As a student-athlete, Turner thrived, shredding defenses at Shafter High School, Bakersfield College and San Diego State University. But as an adult, after playing in the NFL from 1978 to 1980, he had trouble finding his place in civilian life. Court records show an arrest history stretching back to 1986 for the former running back and kick return specialist. The most recent, on June 17, was for driving while his license was revoked because of a conviction for driving under the influence. On Sunday, deputies were investigating reports of teenagers asking adults to buy alcohol and cigarettes. The deputies approached Turner as he left the store with his 19year-old son and a 16-yearold juvenile whom authorities have not identified. The deputies detained Turner while they investigated. According to reports from the sheriff’s office, Turner initially complied with deputies but then decided to leave. Deputies said a scuffle occurred when they tried to stop Turner. Deputy Aaron Nadal was hit on the back of the head with a bag holding two, 24-ounce cans of beer before Deputy Wesley Kraft drew his handgun and fired twice at Turner, authorities said. Sheriff Donny Youngblood said department investigators were getting tapes from video cameras at the store to see if the incident was recorded. He said the investigation won’t be quick, and he will review the results. He said he has purposely not researched Turner’s criminal background. Kraft is on administrative leave while sheriff’s detectives investigate the shooting. In 1979, Turner tied for the league lead in kick returns with 55. The same year he was second in rushing yards with 1,149. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
