Anthony G. Davis, 29, pleaded innocent to charges of receiving stolen property, tampering with evidence, theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with the signal of a police ofﬁcer. Tampering and failure to comply are thirddegree felonies, while receiving stolen property and theft are fourth-degree felonies. The charges against Davis are from three separate alleged incidents in the month of February. Davis is alleged to have been involved in the Feb. 8 theft of a vehicle from Syracuse which was later found burnt on Buck Run Road near Wilkesville. Thursday, March 23, 2017 s 50¢ Old parking meters removed By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — During Monday’s meeting, Pomeroy council decided the ultimate fate of the village’s parking meters. Following a February vote to make parking free in downtown, the meters were temporarily covered in plastic shopping bags until last week, when some were speedily extracted by the Village’s Public Works department. The more modern models, purchased in 2016, will be kept as the council explores selling them to another munici- pality. The remaining stock will be opened to the public for sale at $25 or $35 depending on the version. Sale revenue is slated for the general fund, and a small number will be kept at the Police Station for ease of processing. Councilperson Andersen joked, “if there’s a big run we can take buyers down to the storage.” Recently appointed Village Administrator Joe Woodall presented an update, which included notice some of the water tanks are overdue for inspection, which will involve “inspection divers” and preventive maintenance. Woodall partially reiterated statements he has made in the past that the village’s water processing systems are high quality and would remain relatively inexpensive to operate with proper maintenance. He also told council a safety addition to the skate park, requested in a previous meeting, was stalled by soggy ground, and discussed a possible land purchase for parking extension in the area, which the mayor believed may be possible via grant. Maureen Hennessy complimented the administrator’s new tenure, saying “I see an awful lot of things getting done around town, thank you Joe.” Brenda Roush from ‘”Kickin’ Summer Bash” came before the meeting to ask their support for the 2017 event. She summarized the event last year, which included closing Main Street for parking trucker rigs as exhibits. “People come and tour the cabins and see their way of living,” she explained. She said response from trucking See METERS | 5 See CHARGES | 5 Pomeroy man pleads innocent to rape By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Pomeroy man remains in jail after pleading innocent to one count of rape. Brad Lee Branham, 18, of Pomeroy, appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday to be arraigned on the single count indictment. Judge I. Carson Crow entered the plea for Branham, who appeared without counsel for the arraignment. Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Adkins requested bond for Branham remain set at $500,000 with 10 percent permitted as was previously set in Meigs County Court. Crow accepted the recommendation, setting bond at $500,000 with 10 percent permitted. Prosecutor James K. Stanley told the Sentinel that the alleged offense involved a teenage female, who was under the age of 16. There is no family connection between Branham and the victim in See PLEADS | 5 Beth Sergent/Register Syracuse woman pleads innocent to stabbing By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Syracuse woman pleaded innocent to charges of felonious assault and domestic violence during an arraignment held earlier this week in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Paulena Yost, 20, was indicted by a Meigs County Grand Jury on the two charges in connection with the alleged stabbing of her boyfriend at their residence in Syracuse on March 6.

Local Ghostbusters raise funds for children in need By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Though they’re known for their assistance with the paranormal in the movies, in real life, the Ghostbusters raise money primarily for children’s charities. There are “Ghostbusters’ chapters” all “It’s a good way to take a hobby that we all really love and turn it into something a little better than just a hobby.” — Keller Lindsay over the country, including West Virginia and Ohio. Last weekend, members of the West Virginia Ghostbusters Division attended the St. Patrick’s Day Cultural Festival in Gallipolis, Ohio where they talked about why their organization is much more than just dressing up in a costume - though that is a fun part of it. Ghostbuster Keller Lindsay of Hurricane said the West Virginia Division has around 50 members, from not only West Virginia, but Southern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky and Western Virginia. He said the idea to “franchise” the Ghostbusters in each state is a comic turn on Bill See FUNDS | 5 Council gets rock slide update, discusses public works purchases By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. POMEROY — Mayor Bryan Shank commented on the recent rockslide, saying: “The state did a great job. Shutting down the road was an inconvenience, but a safety issue,” and noted the road was cleared and power restored quickly. In regards to further rockslide events, multiple members of the Pomeroy government indicated the geography and size of the rocks make true preventive measures impossible. In other business, Fiscal Officer Sue Baker raised the issue of trouble verifying purchases in the Public Works department. She said many reimbursed purchases were not submitted with accompanying invoices, and while “I hate to add to Joe (Woodall)’s plate right now, this is critical, just absolutely critical,” adding that the new Administrator was just being alerted to the problem. Some council members were alarmed such a problem existed. No accusations were made, but both council members Phil Ohlinger and Nick Michael made statements to the effect that willful manipulation or repeated negligence of that system would be a terminable offense. Woodall agreed, and said it would be a matter of teaching the employees the importance of submitting documentation, and having a policy in place. He said he could implement a system similar to Middleport (where Woodall is also Administrator), and Baker (who is also Fiscal Officer for Middleport) said there were See COUNCIL | 5 �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2 Thursday, March 23, 2017 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS MCCLOUD PROCTORVILLE — James N.

Indexes inch back upward as tech stocks rise; Nike plunges NEW YORK (AP) — After a shaky start, U.S. stocks ﬁnished mostly higher Wednesday as technology and industrial companies rose. Banks fell with interest rates as the market came off its biggest loss in ﬁve months. Stocks started lower, then rallied around midday and wandered between gains and losses for several hours before a late-afternoon push. Technology companies led the market, as they’ve done throughout this year. Gains for shipping company FedEx helped take industrial companies upward. Nike took its biggest one-day loss in ﬁve years as investors were disappointed by its quarterly sales and outlook, and 130-year-old retailer Sears plunged after it said it may not be able to stay in business. A day ago stocks dropped as Wall Street wondered if key aspects of President Donald Trump’s agenda, such as tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending will be delayed. The Republican-backed American Health Care Act appeared to be in trouble ahead of a House of Representatives vote on Thursday. Terry Simpson, a multiasset strategist for BlackRock, says it’s noteworthy that even though the bill’s fate is unclear, stocks didn’t fall any further on Wednesday. “The market really wants to believe in the new administration,” he said. But if the bill falters in the House on Thursday or the Senate later on, investors will have “increased doubt in the ability to pass the progrowth agenda.” The Standard & Poor’s 500 index picked up 4.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,348.45. Nike dragged down the Dow Jones industrial average, which fell 6.71 points to 20,661.30. The Nasdaq composite rose 27.82 points, or 0.5 percent, to 5,821.64. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies sank 0.95 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,345.60. Apple gained $1.58, or 1.1 percent, to $141.42 and Microsoft rose 82 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $65.03 while chipmaker Nvidia added $2.16, or 2 percent, to $108.07. The S&P 500’s technology index is up 11 percent in 2017, more than double the gain for the broader S&P 500. Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.40 percent from 2.42 percent. Lower bond yields mean lower interest rates, and those reduce the proﬁts banks can make from lending. Investors snapped up high-dividend utilities and real estate investment trusts as bond yields fell. Exelon picked up 34 cents to $36.30 and Consolidated Edison gained 77 cents, or 1 percent, to $78.11. Utilities are the best-performing part of the S&P 500 over the last month. Sears said in a regulatory ﬁling that there is “substantial doubt” it will be able to remain in business. In recent years the parent company of Sears and Kmart has closed more than 2,000 stores and slashed spending and jobs, and it has sold brands and split off its real estate assets to raise cash. The company continues to lose billions a year as its sales fall further. It said pension agreements may prevent it from spinning off other businesses. The stock has already been trading near all-time lows and lost $1.12, or 12.3 percent, to $7.98 Wednesday. The company’s real estate investment trust, Seritage, lost 92 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $42.63. Nike reported slightly disappointing third-quarter sales, and its forecasts for the current period displeased investors as well. Nike’s stock fell $4.09, or 7.1 percent, to $53.92, its biggest loss since June 2012. Baptist Church where she serves as treasurer and the Rio Grande Summer Baseball Association.

Another signiﬁcant reduction in our state allocation will give us no choice but to effectively pass the cut directly on to our students in the form of a sizeable tuition increase,” said Gilbert. “That will be a real hardship for our students, three-fourths of whom are from West Virginia.” Gee added, “We have always protected our academic mission and done our best to keep our tuition affordable and accessible. However, West Virginia University has taken nearly $30 million in state reductions over the past three years.

The strike follows a protracted dispute between AT&T and union members afﬁliated with the Communications Workers of America, District 9, who have been working without a contract for nearly a year. Workers say they have been increasingly asked to perform the duties of higher-paid employees and that AT&T has cut sick leave and disability beneﬁts and required them to pay more for their health care. Another sticking point is AT&T’s closure of U.S. call centers, including a facility near Anaheim, Calif. The union contends that AT&T has moved 8,000 call center jobs in recent years to the Philippines, Mexico and other countries. “We want to keep our call center jobs here in California — they are displacing middle-class families by eliminating jobs,” said Armando Zepeda, an AT&T technician and union board member who works in San Diego. “And we are looking for fair California wages because it is astronomical to live in California.” It was unclear whether the strike affected service for AT&T’s landline customers — or how long the stoppage might last. “We are prepared to continue serving customers,” AT&T spokesman Marty Richter said. “We are a customer service company, and we plan for all contingencies … weather, natural disasters, work stoppages or any other factors.” Richter said AT&T has a strong record of reaching fair deals with its employees. “We’re currently negotiating with the union in a good-faith effort to reach a fair labor agreement covering wireline employees” in California and Nevada, he said. “We’ve reached 28 fair labor agreements since 2015, collectively covering nearly 123,000 employees.” AT&T said it has hired 20,000 people into union-represented jobs in 2016 and has more than 4,200 other union job openings. “We’re a union-friendly company, with more fulltime, union-represented employees than any company in America,” Richter said. “We’re the only major wireless company with a unionized workforce.” Union ofﬁcials said Wednesday’s walkout was triggered by AT&T’s demand that technicians who typically install and maintain the company’s U-Verse TV service also work on the cables and hardware for landline phone service (AT&T’s wireless division is not affected by the action). “We are hoping to reach an agreement settlement with the company,” said Shelia Bordeaux, a member of the executive board of the CWA Local 9003 in Los Angeles. “They are unilaterally and continually changing the job duties of our premise technicians to do a higherwage job at a lower rate of pay.” The two sides have been trying to negotiate a new contract to replace the one that expired in April 2016. Bordeaux said Wednesday’s strike was to resolve the issue of job duties for the premise technicians, and only included landline workers who belong to the CWA in California and Nevada. In addition to Los Angeles, workers were striking in San Diego and San Francisco. AT&T has been under pressure to control costs as its biggest business — wireless phone service — has matured and faced rising competition from Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. �E ditorial 4 Thursday, March 23, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Oh, Maryland A rough translation of Maryland’s state motto is “Strong Deeds, Gentle Words.” In the case of a 14-year-old girl who was recently raped and sodomized in a restroom at Rockville High School by two males students, both immigrants, one facing a deportation hearing, that motto in practice has been reversed. The police report of the incident is so graphic that it cannot be printed in full, but the facts are these: Henry Sanchez, 18, a Guatemala native who has a pending “alien removal” case against him, and 17-year-old Jose Montano, Cal who came to America from El Thomas Contributing Salvador eight months ago, columnist have been charged with firstdegree rape and two counts of first-degree sexual offenses. The two are alleged to have dragged the 14-year-old girl into a boy’s restroom where they raped and sodomized her after she repeatedly screamed “no.” Compounding the physical and possible long-term psychological damage to the girl is the response of school authorities and state legislators. A letter sent to parents from Rockville High School officials said, “Ensuring a safe, secure and welcoming learning environment for all of our students is a top priority. Our staff remains vigilant in the monitoring of our school each and every day.” Apparently not. Among the many questions that should be asked is why Sanchez and Montano — both old enough to be seniors — were placed in a freshman class in the first place? They were given a translator to help them understand what the teacher said in English, but the word that describes that ludicrous decision is easily understood in both English and Spanish — “estupido.” Equally “stupid” is a bill in the legislature that would declare Maryland a “sanctuary state.” If it passes and survives a likely veto by Gov. Larry Hogan, it would shield illegal immigrants from federal immigration laws. The Republican leader in the House of Delegates, Nic Kipke, says the measure “ignores the rule of law” and would create “anarchy” in the state. One of the things the left claims to always be concerned about are the rights of minorities and the disenfranchised. One hears that argument invoked often in debates over transgender individuals and which bathroom they can use. If that works for liberals in this case, what about the right of a teenage girl to be protected against a violation of her person by illegal immigrants? A corollary argument is that most illegal immigrants are not violent criminals. We hear the same argument when it comes to Muslims, that not all members of the religion should be judged by the acts of a violent few. Ask the victims or relatives of people who have died or been injured by radical Islamists how they feel about that argument. In the case of the young Rockville High School girl, ask her and her parents, siblings and other relatives if they are OK with allowing people like Sanchez and Montano into their child’s school. The high school from which I graduated is located not far from Rockville High. My school was a much safer place.Chewing gum and running in the halls were the worst offenses one could commit, and for repeat offenders that got you a trip to the vice principal’s office, or detention, and a note home to parents where further discipline was often applied. If a law like the one under consideration by the Maryland legislature had been in force, Sanchez and Montano might have been shielded from a deportation hearing because authorities would have been prevented from asking them about their immigration status or even their country of origin. If convicted of the rape charges, they should be punished and then deported. School officials and legislators who have helped create the environment that has allowed such a horrible incident to occur must be held accountable by the citizens of Montgomery County, Maryland, and voters statewide.

In May 2014, Target was widely ridiculed for Photoshopping the thighs (and then some) off the young women modeling its juniors swimwear line. (“An unfortunate error,” Target explained at the time.) Now, the retailer is kicking off a new #TargetSwim campaign that features models with curves, stretch marks and nary a Photoshop edit in sight. ”Target shows women of all shapes, sizes and colors looking beautiful and conﬁdent in themselves and their swimsuits, and that resonates with women everywhere,” one of the models, Kamie Crawford, says in a statement. “Conﬁdence is contagious!” Brilliant marketing?

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 23, 1792, Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 in G Major (known as the “Surprise” symphony because of an unexpected crashing chord in the second movement) had its ﬁrst public performance in London. On this date: In 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Paciﬁc coast, began their journey back east. In 1914, the ﬁrst installment of “The Perils of Pauline,” the legendary silent ﬁlm serial starring Pearl White, premiered in the greater New York City area.

In 1965, America’s ﬁrst two-person space mission took place as Gemini 3 blasted off with astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young aboard for a nearly 5-hour ﬂight. In 1973, before sentencing a group of Watergate break-in defendants, Chief U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica read aloud a letter he’d received from James W. McCord Jr. which said there was “political pressure” to “plead guilty and remain silent.” In 1983, President Ronald Reagan ﬁrst proposed developing technology to intercept incoming enemy missiles — an idea that came to be known as the Strategic THOUGHT FOR TODAY “In anger, you look ten years older.” — Hedda Hopper, American gossip columnist (1890-1966).

In 1994, Aeroﬂot Flight 593, an Airbus A310, crashed in Siberia with the loss of all 75 people on board; it turned out that a pilot’s teenage son who was allowed to sit at the controls had accidentally disengaged the autopilot, causing the jetliner to go out of control. In 2001, Russia’s orbiting Mir space station ended its 15-year odyssey with a planned ﬁery plunge into the South Paciﬁc. In 2011, Academy Award-winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died in Los Angeles at age 79.

Bush as “political theater.” Iranian forces captured 15 British sailors and marines who were searching a merchant ship in the disputed Shatt Al-Arab waterway Persian Gulf; they were held for 13 days. Miss Tennessee Rachel Smith was crowned Miss USA at the pageant in Los Angeles. Five years ago: Urging Americans to “do some soul searching,” President Barack Obama injected himself into the emotional debate over the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida, saying, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The U.S. Army formally charged Staff Sgt.

Jayvon Graves of Akron St. See D2 | 7 Who’s up, down heading to Sweet 16 By Steve Megargee Associated Press Everything’s magniﬁed in March. A player who has been slumping all season can quickly put that behind him with a couple of big performances in the NCAA Tournament. A team that has struggled can suddenly change its reputation by heating up in the postseason. North Carolina’s Joel Berry II, Florida’s Devin Robinson and South Carolina’s entire team are some of those on the annual tournament roller coaster heading into the Sweet 16. Berry has struggled to ﬁnd his shot and Robinson has produced some of the best performances in his college career. Before last week, the Gamecocks were known for having their stingy defense and a suspect offense. But they’ve averaged 90.5 points in the ﬁrst two games of the tournament to reach the Sweet 16 for the ﬁrst time in the NCAA Tournament’s current format. They scored 65 points and shot 71.4 percent in the second half of an 88-81 victory over Duke . “We wouldn’t be in the Sweet 16 if we were a bad offensive team,” South Carolina coach Frank Martin said after the Duke game. “Now, do we shoot 71 percent, what did we shoot, 71 for a half? No, nobody does. But that’s why they call this thing March Madness.” Here are some other statistical trends involving teams in the Sweet 16. UCLA’S ability to avoid turnovers UCLA leads all Division I teams with a 1.93 assist-turnover ratio , but the Bruins have been particularly adept in this area during the NCAA Tournament.

RV’s Dovenbarger named D3 all-Ohio By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Truth be told, for the River Valley Raiders, “Dove” did most of the work. As a result, River Valley senior boys basketball standout Jacob Dovenbarger was rightly rewarded on Tuesday — being named Division III all-Ohio Honorable Mention by the Associated Press. Dovenbarger, standing six-foot and six-inches tall, automatically made Honorable Mention allOhio — thanks to landing second-team all-Southeast District. He averaged 14.3 points per game, and earned all-Ohio accolades for the ﬁrst and ﬁnal time. A double-double machine this season, Dovenbarger was the 9-15 Raiders’ top player — as River Valley nearly upset Oak Hill in the sectional championship tilt. Three players from the Southeast District garnered higher than Special Mention, including Isaiah Howell of Fairland. Howell, along with Paint Valley seven-footer Dylan Swingle, captured Co-Player of the Year honors for the Southeast District in Division III. For Fairland, the Dragons will represent the Southeast District in this season’s state tournament on Friday. Eric McLaughlin of Lynchburg-Clay, which reached the Division III state semiﬁnals last season, claimed third team. Versailles swept the allstate list’s top two awards — as Justin Ahrens was Co-Player of the Year, while Travis Swank was one of three Coaches of the Year. Ahrens shared the top player honor with Ethan Linder of Wayne Trace, while Zach Ruth of Galion Northmoor and Derek Edwards of Martins Ferry were the cocoaches with Swank.

Hoffman allowed just two runs, one earned, on two hits and two walks. “I’m going to enjoy watching him pitch here one more year, it’s going to be fun” Cullen said of Hoffman. “He struggled at times, but he’s Philip, I enjoy watching him throw it. He’s not in mid-season form yet, but he will be, it won’t take long.” Parkersburg Catholic’s Ty Sturm was the losing pitcher of record, as he allowed six runs, three earned, on four hits and four walks in 3.1 innings. Joel Stophel tossed 1.2 innings in relief and allowed six runs, four earned, on four hits and two walks. Bryce Moore walked one batter without recording an out. Sturm struck out ﬁve batters, while Stophel fanned one. Arrington was 2-for-2 with four runs scored and a stolen base to lead the White Falcon offense, while Kearns was 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, three runs scored and one RBI. Hoffman helped his own cause, going 2-for-4 with a run scored, a stolen base and two RBI. Jonathan Frye was 1-for-3 with a run scored in the win, while Smith was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Grate ﬁnished with two RBI, Bumgarner scored once and drove in one run, while Riggs added a run scored. “We’ve not seen that much live pitching, our scrimmages have all been Help Wanted General Apartments/Townhouses Civitas Media Newspapers has an opening for a results orientated salesperson capable of developing multi-media campaigns for advertisers.

We struggled some too, swinging late.” Sturm and Roedersheimer each singled once for the guests, with Roedersheimer and Tallman both scoring once and Plummer earning an RBI.

The Point Pleasant softball team — fresh off a 24-10 season a year ago — kicked off the 2017 campaign in convincing style Tuesday night during a threeinning, 10-0 mercy-rule decision over visiting Wirt County in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Knights (1-0) pounded out 10 hits and beneﬁted from ﬁve WCHS errors en route to the double-digit triumph. Of those 10 runs, only three were earned. PPHS also received a solid effort from starter Karson Bonecutter, who allowed only one hit and one walk over three innings of work while striking out two. Both teams stranded two runners apiece on the bags, and the Lady Knights played an errorfree contest. “We’re just happy to ﬁnally get a game in with all of the rain that we’ve had,” PPHS softball coach James Higginbotham said afterwards. “Karson pitched a really good game and the girls did a good job of ﬁelding the ball behind her. I was also glad that the girls put the ball in play offensively. We hit the ball hard and they had some troubles ﬁelding it, but the key was that we put the ball in play at the plate. It’s a good win and a good start.” The Lady Wolves (0-1) Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Members of the Point Pleasant softball team wait for Kelsey Price at home plate following Price’s three-run homer in the bottom of the second inning Tuesday night during a non-conference contest against Wirt County in Point Pleasant, W.Va. got their ﬁrst baserunner of the night on a two-out walk to Kassidy Root in the second. Cami Winnell also had a single to lead off the top of the third, but that was all the damage that guests mustered. Point Pleasant, on the other hand, received a big break in the bottom of the ﬁrst as three consecutive WCHS errors allowed both Kelsie Byus and Leah Cochran to score with two outs in the frame — making it a 2-0 contest after one full inning. The Lady Knights erupted with eight runs in the bottom of the second as the hosts produced eight hits and beneﬁted from two more errors while establishing a 10-run edge through two complete. The highlight of the home half of the second came when Kelsey Price lifted a three-run homer over the left-center ﬁeld fence, giving Point a 9-0 cushion at the time. Point Pleasant scored all eight of its runs with two outs in the second frame. In fact, all 10 Lady Knight scores came with two away in those respective ﬁrst two innings. Byus, Michaela Cottrill and Lila Beattie led PPHS with two hits apiece, followed by Cochran, Price, Peyton Jordan and Megan Hammond with a safety apiece. Price led the hosts with three RBIs and Cottrill also drove in two runs. Byus, Beattie and Tenner King also knocked in a run each. Byus and Cochran scored twice apiece to lead Point Pleasant, while Jordan, Cottrill, Price, Hammond, Beattie and Hannah Smith also crossed home plate one time each. Jessica Lockhart took the tough-luck loss for Wirt County after allowing 10 runs (three earned), 10 hits and zero walks over two frames. Point Pleasant returns to action Wednesday when it hosts Wahama at 5:30 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Daily Sentinel Man named in Brady jersey case sought autographs, selfies MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican media executive suspected of stealing Tom Brady’s jersey went to the Super Bowl as a working journalist but spent the week collecting selﬁes and autographs from football greats and boasting to colleagues that he was there as a fan. Mexican journalists who were in Houston for the game and interacted with Martin Mauricio Ortega, former director of the tabloid La Prensa, told The Associated Press that he brought multiple NFL memorabilia items, including a Kurt Warner jersey he hoped to sell to the former quarterback for thousands of dollars. “When I met him he was carrying a football helmet and he was bragging about having the signatures of former Super Bowl MVPs, and he was a little disappointed that Marshall Faulk refused to sign it,” said Ariel Velazquez, who covered the game for the Mexican daily El Universal. “He also said that he was not there to work: ‘There are people here to do that.’” Brady’s jersey went missing from the Patriots’ locker room after the game, and set off an investigation that stretched from Boston to the border. Working with U.S. investigators, Mexican authorities obtained a search warrant and recovered the jersey March 12, along with another Brady jersey that disappeared after the 2015 Super Bowl. A helmet belonging to a Denver Broncos player was also discovered, according to NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy. Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth said the team was in touch with NFL security because the helmet may belong to Von Miller, MVP at the 2016 Super Bowl. Ortega may have tried to sell it: A memorabilia dealer told the AP Tuesday that Ortega once asked him how much the helmet would be worth. A Mexican government ofﬁcial conﬁrmed that the warrant targeted Ortega and the search was at his home. Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, the ofﬁcial said an agreement was reached for an unspeciﬁed victim in the U.S. not to press charges in exchange for the jersey’s return. Ortega did not respond to multiple calls and text messages to his personal phone seeking comment. Arturo Palafox, sports editor of the newspaper 24 Horas, said he talked to Ortega frequently in Houston both in the media center and while riding the shuttle to and from the hotel. He was surprised that someone with the rank of newspaper director would be covering the Super Bowl as a reporter. An ofﬁcial at OEM, the publishing company that owns La Prensa, said Ortega was not part of its Super Bowl coverage and the company had no idea he was even there. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. La Prensa published at least six articles in his name from Houston during Super Bowl week, including one about Brady being named MVP. The ofﬁcial said Ortega ordered staffers back in Mexico City to write the articles and use his byline. It wasn’t immediately clear how many Super Bowls Ortega attended, but the NFL said they found that he was credentialed at least as far back as 2005. A credentialed member of the media has access to prominent athletes and latitude to enter behindthe-scenes places in a stadium. Ethics policies at news organizations, credential guidelines and professional standards of conduct usually prohibit actions such as seeking autographs while on the job. But it does happen. The winning team’s locker room after a Super Bowl is a loud, crowded place, ﬁlled with dozens of excited, celebrating players — sometimes passing around the Lombardi Trophy they just earned — along with coaches, various other team employees and members of the media. Mostly, a player will stand or sit in front of his locker while being interviewed by what could be a dozen or more reporters at a time, a scene replicated in several spots around the room. Sometimes a player will step away for several minutes to go take a shower, leaving his belongings unguarded. Ortega was also seen at Super Bowl auctions during the week of the big game. Mexican media have reported that Ortega’s basement was full of NFL and other sports memorabilia. These pets are so doggone cute, we need everyone’s help picking a winner!
