Saunders, 89 Middleport explores waste management facility By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — For the past several months, a feasibility study has been going on by Hazen Sawyer Engineering, an environmental engineering firm, to determine how Middleport’s sewage lagoons might be employed to produce additional funding for the village. A recent report from that engineering firm on the proposed reactor project, which would not only provide power for operating the system and reduce the cost of chemical treatment, but provide good algae to be sold by the village, was determined to be not feasible due the climate, geology, location, and a lack of production of good algae. However, it was determined by Hazen Sawyer that another operation involving carbon scalping seemed feasible if enough partners could be secured to bring it to a place where it could become a regional waste management center where several different applications could be applied. As a part of that investigation,the firm of Hazen Sawyer approached Quazar Energy Group, which has several waste management systems in Ohio to see if they would be interested in partnering on a project for Middleport. At this point Quazar has applied for a grant to do that so that Hazen Sawyer can seek resources to fund the operation of a regional facility. In announcing the recent action and report from Hazen Sawyer, Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach said, “We have been working on a project that currently has a very long name but holds great promise for the village of Middleport. It is called ‘The Middleport Regionalized Waste Management Design Development Project.’ “This project would involve an innovative private-public partnership that would provide not only economic growth to the village but to its residents as well,” he said. “It will also provide economic growth opportunity to businesses across the region. This would be a water resource recovery facility recovering energy and nutrients. Quasar Energy Group has just announced their support for this partnership.” Gerlach said later this month village officials will visit Quasar’s newest facility in Ohio for its grand opening. He said thanks for their work in reaching this milestone goes to Susan Baker, fiscal officer, Faymon Roberts for providing the information that was needed for the proposal, Kurtis Strickland of RCAP for his effort in obtaining the funding for the feasibility studies and the Meigs County Development Office, and the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce for their support and willingness to help with the partnership. Middleport has two 17-acre lagoons that have already been equipped with four Solar-Bee units to mix sewage flowing through the lagoons as it is chemically treated before going into the Ohio River. The SolarBee system used in the village lagoons to stir the sewage, which has to be treated with costly chemicals before being dumped into the river, were built with $181,400 in stimulus money several years ago.

Five injured in holiday crash By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com HARTFORD — Five people were injured during the holiday weekend after a one-vehicle crash occurred on W.Va. 62 near Hartford Hill, commonly known as “the rocks.” According to Mason County Sheriff Greg Powers, Vallery Jordan, 56, address unreported, was driving north toward New Haven about 11:10 p.m. July 4. Also in the car were passengers Julie Porter, 39; Shannon Harland, 41; Jimmie Gibbs, 37; and a juvenile. Powers said that Jordan fell asleep behind the wheel, causing the car to veer to the right of the road. It then went into a ditch and struck a large rock that spun the vehicle back into road. Everyone in the car was injured, with Jordan and the juvenile being transported to Pleasant Valley Hospital by Mason County Emergency Medical Services personnel. Porter, Harland and Gibbs were all flown by air medical helicopter to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington for treatment of their injuries, according to Powers. On Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for St. Mary’s Medical Center said both Porter and Harland were listed in good condition with Gibbs not listed as a patient. Powers said no citation has yet been issued in the accident. He added that it appears the driver was not impaired at the time of the crash. Powers also explained the car received major damage. The Mason County Sheriff’s Department is investigating this crash. �Page 2 The Daily Sentinel Tuesday, July 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Meigs County Church Calendar Community Calendar Tuesday, July 8 POMEROY —The Meigs County Board of Elections will meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Board office.

That’s why we are enthusiastic about joining with communities in our new Energy Savers program,” said Jon Williams, energy efficiency and consumer programs manager for AEP Ohio. “The program helps to educate residents about our energy-saving programs as well as the many solutions and incentives available for businesses.” Mayor Gary Goosman announced the village of Amesville’s participation in the AEP Ohio Community Energy Savers pilot program on July 6 at the Amesville ACRE event. Working with the village of Amesville, AEP Ohio has established a goal of 12 participants by Oct. 31. If this goal is reached in time, Amesville will use the financial incentive award from AEP Ohio towards the installation of a solar panel at the Frank and Catherine Hare History Shelter. The solar panel will power an educational electronic kiosk that will display Amesville’s rich history, landmarks and culture. “We are excited to partner with AEP Ohio on Amesville Energy Savers and help our residents and businesses become more energy efficient,” says Mayor Gary Goosman of Amesville. “In addition, we look forward to complete phase II of the Frank and Catherine Hare History Shelter.” Amesville residents and businesses who are customers of AEP Ohio, and who receive their generation supply from AEP Ohio or a different electric generation service provider, can participate in Energy Savers in a variety of ways. For instance, customers can recycle their inefficient, but still operational refrigerators through the Appliance Recycling program and receive a $50 incentive check plus free pickup. Customers can also schedule an assessment with the In-home Energy program to identify and correct areas in their homes where they may be wasting energy. Technical support and financial incentives are also available for businessm customers and owners of multifamily buildings that install energy efficient equipment and technologies.

(AP) — Forty-six years after a Philadelphia teen’s disappearance and slaying, the girl’s family accepted her cremated remains Monday and asked for the public’s help in finding her killer. A month after the body was positively identified through DNA testing, the family of Sandra Ann Stiver accepted her remains at a news conference at the Berks County coroner’s office near Reading. “We’re sad and we’re hurt and we’re mad,” said Sandy’s sister, Hazel DeMoss, of Richfield, Ohio. “We want to know who did it.” Sandy Stiver, 14, and her sister-in-law Martha Stiver, 17, disappeared in 1968 after running away ATTENTION!

Hazel DeMoss said both teens were “wild,” but the family doesn’t know what compelled them to flee that summer day. Sandy’s body was found in August 1968, about a week after authorities said she had been shot several times with a .22-caliber weapon. Martha’s remains were recovered the following April about five miles away in French Creek State Park in Elverson. Her cause of death could not be determined, but authorities say she was also murdered. Neither victim could be identified and no connection to the Philadelphia missing-persons case was made. The teens were buried in adjoining, unmarked graves in a potter’s field outside Reading, about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The family moved to Ohio, but never stopped searching, and wondering. “You’re always looking at somebody on a street corner and thinking it’s them,” said Tom Stiver, brother of Sandy and husband of Martha. Decades later, Hazel DeMoss found information about two unidentified murder victims on the website of the Doe Network, a group of amateur sleuths that seeks to attach names to unidentified bodies, and suspected they might belong to her family members. Authorities used an old cemetery map and groundpenetrating radar to locate the bodies. They were exhumed last fall and sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification. �Tuesday, July 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel Page 3 Restored Lake Vets’ raffle backers to make Ohio governor pick Erie lighthouse back to waterfront PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — A restored 1896 Lake Erie lighthouse is headed back to the waterfront after more than 60 years away, thanks to volunteers who restored the 26 foot-tall wooden structure. The lighthouse stood on the Portage River’s west pier in Port Clinton until 1952, when it was removed and taken to a local marina. Volunteers spent the last couple years replacing rotten boards in the lighthouse, installing a new copper roof and repainting the interior steps and tower, the Toledo Blade reported Monday. The Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy hopes to install the lighthouse on the north side of Derby Pond at Water Works Park by late summer or early fall. “These old breakwater lights are almost nonexistent,” said Rich Norgard, conservancy president. “The old, wooden lights either burned or just rotted away. . We are just very fortunate.” The structure, which appears on Port Clinton’s city seal, is the Lake Erie community’s second lighthouse. An 1833-vintage stone lighthouse was demolished a few years after the wooden one was built. In 1952, a local marina owner was hired to remove the lighthouse from the pier, and it was taken to what is now Brands’ Marina. The lighthouse’s owner, Darrell Brand, plans to give it to the conservancy, which will enter into an agreement with the city to place it along the waterfront, Norgard said. Visitors frequently sought out the lighthouse while it was on marina property. “It’s amazing how many people are running around this country looking for lighthouses,” said Brand, who wanted the lighthouse in a publicly accessible spot near the water. Volunteers saved everything they could as they paid attention to historic details. Donations funded the work, estimated at $40,000 to $50,000, and the conservancy is accepting money to help with maintenance and other needs, Norgard said. The conservancy plans to build a foundation at the waterfront, where the lighthouse will sit on four piers. Court halts denial of licenses for immigrants PHOENIX (AP) — An appeals court sided with advocates for young immigrants who argued that Arizona’s policy of denying them driver’s licenses even though they had work permits under an Obama administration policy violated their equal protection rights. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed the young immigrants were harmed by unequal treatment by the state and blocked Arizona’s policy in its ruling Monday. The appeals court said the advocates also showed a likelihood that the immigrants would be harmed by the state’s denial. The Obama administration in June 2012 took administrative steps to shield thousands of immigrants from deportation. Applicants must have come to the United States before they turned 16, be younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, be in school or have graduated from high school or a GED program, or have served in the military. They also were allowed to apply for a two-year renewable work permit. Gov. Jan Brewer issued an executive order in August 2012 directing state agencies to deny driver’s licenses and other public benefits to young immigrants who get work authorization under the program. In May 2013, U.S. District Judge David Campbell rejected the argument by immigrant rights advocates who said Brewer’s policy was unconstitutional because it’s trumped by federal law. But Campbell had said the immigrant rights advocates are likely to succeed in arguing that the state lets some immigrants with work permits get driver’s licenses but won’t let immigrants protected under Obama’s program have the same benefit. The state revised the policy late last summer by saying it would stop issuing driver’s licenses to all people who receive deportation deferrals from the federal government, not just young immigrants given protection under Obama’s policy. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A coalition of Ohio veterans and fraternal organizations that has clashed with Republican Gov. John Kasich over electronic raffle machines is planning its first-ever endorsement in a governor’s race. The Ohio Veterans and Fraternal Charitable Coalition, representing posts and lodges with about 2.1 million members, has scheduled candidate interviews for the first time in its 11-year history, The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday. The endorsement meetings come as Kasich seeks re-election in November against Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive. The coalition is involved in a long-running dispute over machines declared illegal last year by Attorney General Mike DeWine. DeWine, also a Republican, initially delayed enforcement against the slots-like machines as the coalition pursued legislation making them legal. The bill died after Kasich intervened and proposed alternative, legal technology de- veloped through the Ohio Lottery. Coalition Chairman Bill Seagraves said member organizations are pursuing the endorsement and gathering signatures aimed at getting a measure on Ohio’s statewide ballot to legalize their machines. Individual veterans’ posts may protest at Kasich campaign events. “This issue is going to be alive, it’s going to be there,” Seagraves told the newspaper. Secretary Merle Pratt added, “All of our members are of voting age. We have a lot of clout.” Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the administration simply brought a solution to the longstanding legal conundrum to state lawmakers. “We told legislators that we had a better, legally assured path forward with machines, and House and Senate leadership agreed with us,” he said. After the legislation stalled and DeWine was to begin a crackdown on the machines, the coalition sued. A Franklin County court has temporarily blocked enforcement of the law against the machines. Meanwhile, a legislative oversight panel has approved the administration proposal to spend $22.5 million on 1,200 machines from the Greek company Intralot for the veterans’ and fraternal groups. The plan calls for lodges and posts to get 40 percent of proceeds, or about $7 million. Veterans oppose this plan, saying their raffle machines are set up to generate more money for their charitable causes. The Intralot machines pay out 90 percent to players, versus 63 percent for the raffle machines. One of Kasich’s closest advisers, Bob Klaffky, is a lobbyist for the lottery’s machine-maker, Intralot, while Seagraves’ grandson works for Charitable Management Capital Group, the Ohio-based manufacturer of the raffle machines. As the coalition awaits a court outcome and pursues its 2015 ballot initiative, member posts and lodges have ordered 675 of the new Intralot machines to hedge their bets. Washington state issues 24 marijuana shop licenses SEATTLE (AP) — Washington state issued its first retail marijuana licenses Monday with a middle-of-the-night email alerting bleary-eyed potshop proprietors that they’ll finally be able to open for business. “We’re pretty stoked,” said John Evich, an investor in Bellingham’s Top Shelf Cannabis, in a 2:30 a.m. Pacific time interview with The Associated Press. “We haven’t had any sleep in a long time, but we’re excited for the next step.” Randy Simmons, the state Liquor Control Board’s project manager for legal marijuana, said Sunday night that the first two dozen stores were being notified so early to give them an extra few hours to get cannabis on their shelves before they are allowed to open their doors at 8 a.m. Tuesday. The store openings are expected to be accompanied by high prices, shortages and celebration. The state licensed 14 stores in western Washington and 10 in eastern Washington. Spokane has three stores. Vancouver, Tacoma and Bellingham each have two. Seattle and the other cities on the list have one each. The issuance of the retail licenses marked a major step that’s been 20 months in the making. Washington and Colorado stunned much of the world by voting in November 2012 to legalize marijuana for adults over 21, and to create state-licensed systems for growing, selling and taxing the pot. Sales began in Colorado on Jan. 1. It remained unclear how many of the pot-shops being licensed in Washington planned to open on Tuesday. Officials eventually expect to have more than 300 recreational pot shops across the state. At Cannabis City, which will be the first and, for now, only recreational marijuana shop in Seattle, owner James Lathrop worked into the night Sunday placing no-parking signs in front of his building, hoisting a grand-opening banner and hanging artwork before he turned his attention to his email — and the official notification that he was a licensed marijuana dealer. “I’ve had a long day. It really hasn’t sunk in yet,” he said early Monday. He planned to hold off on opening his store until noon on Tuesday. “Know your audience: We’re talking stoners here,” he said. “I’d be mean to say they need to get up at 5 a.m. to get in line.” With the emailed notifications in hand, the shops immediately worked to place their orders with some of the state’s first licensed growers. As soon as the orders were received, via state-approved software for tracking the bar-coded pot, the growers could place the product in a required 24-hour “quarantine” before shipping it early Tuesday morning. The final days before sales have been frenetic for growers and retailers alike. “No one thought legalization could happen in our lifetime. I think this is going to be a little overwhelming for me.” —Alison Holcomb Lawyer Lathrop and his team hired an events company to provide crowd control, arranged for a food truck and free water for those who might spend hours waiting outside, and rented a portable toilet to keep his customers from burdening nearby businesses with requests to use the restrooms. At Nine Point Growth Industries, a marijuana grower in Bremerton, owner Gregory Stewart said he and his director celebrated after they worked through some glitches in the pot-tracking software early Monday and officially learned they’d be able to transport their weed 24 hours later, at 2:22 a.m. Tuesday. “It’s the middle of the night and we’re standing here doing high-fives and our version of a happy dance,” he said. “It’s huge for us.” Pot prices were expected to reach $25 a gram or higher on the first day of sales — twice what people pay in the state’s unregulated medical marijuana dispensaries. That was largely due to the short supply of legally produced pot in the state. Although more than 2,600 people applied to become licensed growers, fewer than 100 have been approved — and only about a dozen were ready to harvest by early this month. Nevertheless, Evich said his shop in Bellingham wanted to thank the state’s residents for voting for the law by offering $10 grams of one cannabis strain to the first 50 or 100 customers. The other strains would be priced between $12 and $25, he said. The store will be open at 8 a.m. Tuesday, he said, but work remained: trimming the bathroom door, cleaning the floors, wiping dust off the walls and, of course, stocking the shelves. In Seattle, among those who planned to buy some of the first pot at Cannabis City was Alison Holcomb, the lawyer who drafted Washington’s law. She said it was a good opportunity to remind people of the big-picture arguments for ending nearly a century of prohibition and displacing the black market, including keeping nonviolent, adult marijuana users out of jail; redirecting profits away from criminal groups; and ending racial disparities in who gets busted. “No one thought legalization could happen in our lifetime,” she said. “I think this is going to be a little overwhelming for me.” Celebration From Page 1 heard the sirens of emergency vehicles as they slowly progressed down the lane, and the Middleport Parade, featuring Color GuardAmerican Legion Feeney Bennett of Post 128, and Nathan Biggs, Meigs County’s oldest World War II veteran, Convention From Page 1 Saturday show hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The HPA auction will be 2 p.m. Saturday.

All proceeds from the sale of dog and kennel tags in Gallia County are deposited into the Gallia County Animal Shelter Fund. These funds allow our county dog warden and assistant county dog warden operate the Gallia County Animal Shelter. All dogs, even if the dog is a full-time house dog, are required by the Ohio Revised Code to have a new dog tag each year, unless you purchase a lifetime tag for that specific dog. Failure to have a dog tag on your dog could potentially result in a fine. Having a current dog tag will assist our county dog wardens in finding their owner and returning pets safely. Stray dogs found without a dog tag are required to be kept a minimum of three days. A dog found with a dog tag must be kept for a minimum of 14 days. Our county dog wardens make every effort to find the owners of stray dogs and reunite them as soon as possible, but without a dog tag sometimes that becomes a real challenge. Dog and kennel tags can be purchased at the Gallia County Auditor’s Office or at the Gallia County Animal Shelter when you adopt or reclaim a dog. Our Gallia County Animal Shelter has a Facebook page with pictures of dogs that have been found as strays and dogs that are available for adoption. If your dog is missing, use this face book page to post a picture of your missing dog and your contact information so our staff can assist you with finding your lost pet. The Gallia County Animal Shelter is located at 186 Shawnee Lane, Gallipolis. Shawnee Lane is across from Brown’s Exxon on Ohio 160 just past Holzer Health System. Shelter hours are Monday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The shelter phone number is 441-0207, and for after-hours emergencies only, contact Dog Warden Brenda Wright at (740) 339-2976, or Assistant Dog Warden Laurie Cardillo at (740) 339-2986. We encourage everyone to visit our shelter and hope you will find a special pet to become a part of your family.

Since that time, it has re-emerged as a global public health emergency, according to the World Health Organization. Why has it now spread from its final strongholds in Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan to at least 10 countries spanning Asia, Africa and the Middle East? It is not because of changes in the virus or ineffective vaccines. The answer is war, and as we all know, “truth is the first casualty of war.” The Taliban claims that immunizations can cause infertility or worse, and violently obstructs the polio vaccinators while vilifying them as part of a U.S. plot. Indeed, in years past, the U.S. CIA did a great disservice when it disguised its officers as polio vaccine workers in efforts to capture Osama Bin Laden, giving fuel to the Taliban’s false claims and violence. Efforts to reclaim the momentum in eradicating polio will require a renewed global effort, and ultimately the elimination of war itself. In our ever-shrinking world, it is only a matter of time before we see this scenario play out with a resurgence of polio in the U.S. and West as more young families avoid vaccinating their children against polio thinking it is a disease of generations past — and in some cases a disease they have never heard of. Both war and polio should be eliminated and we can do both. It will take unprecedented collaboration amongst humans across national and cultural lines, and will involve many organizations and associations. There may be no organization in the world better suited to take on some aspects of the challenge than Rotary International, with its longstanding mission of peace and peace building, and a dedicated membership of 1.2 million Rotarians joined together in service work though Rotary clubs in 220 countries of the world, including China and Russia In our nuclear-armed, polio-infected world, President John F. Kennedy’s statement that “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind” remains true today. We must not be naïve in this effort. Self-defense and international peacekeeping will always be needed, but violence is quickly becoming maladaptive. Peacekeeping and preventing war is much harder than fighting war but the outcomes benefit everyone. There will always be conflict — it is the tools of resolving conflict without war that must become the cultural norms. These are tools that already exist and that have been used to resolve every conflict that has ever been fought. These include: Diplomacy; cooperation and collaboration on international programs like polio eradication; appropriate foreign aid emphasizing the meeting of essential human needs of food, water, shelter, education, health care and a healthy environment; and adherence to international law, not unilateral action. We must abandon unexamined assumptions, e.g., that war will always exist, that we can continue to wage war and survive, and that we are separate and not connected. When we awaken to the reality of interconnectedness, we see that polio cannot be eradicated without ending war. As a ground-up organization, Rotary International has had a universitylevel peace fellows program for more than 10 years pursuing understanding and international peace building. Individual Rotarians joined together to form a growing and active Rotarian Action Group for Peace in 2012. Eliminating nuclear weapons is an important step in this process. The Rotary Action Group for Peace has collaborated with the Nobel Peace Prize group Physicians for Social Responsibility and their international affiliate International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War to educate on the humanitarian consequences of even a very limited nuclear war. This has resulted in developing an international physician Rotary speaker’s bureau of 79 physicians in 21 countries speaking and engaging Rotary clubs the world over. This type of remarkable collaboration may be just the prescription for our very survival. For information on arranging a Rotary presentation contact Erin Thomas at erin@jubitz.org, or Rotary Action Group for Peace at www. rotarianactionforpeace.org. Dr. Robert F. Dodge serves on the boards of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Beyond War, Physicians for Social Responsibility Los Angeles, and Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions, and writes for PeaceVoice. Today in history... Today is Tuesday, July 8, the 189th day of 2014. There are 176 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 8, 1889, The Wall Street Journal was first published. (Price of a copy: two cents.) On this date: In 1663, King Charles II of England granted a Royal Charter to Rhode Island. In 1776, Col. John Nixon gave the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, outside the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. In 1853, an expedition led by Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Yedo Bay, Japan, on a mission to seek diplomatic and trade relations with the Japanese. In 1907, Florenz Ziegfeld staged his first “Follies,” on the roof of the New York Theater. In 1914, jazz singer and bandleader Billy Eckstine was born in Pittsburgh. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson received a tumultuous welcome in New York City after his return from the Versailles Peace Conference in France. In 1947, demolition work began in New York City to make way for the new permanent headquarters of the United Nations. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman named Gen. Douglas MacArthur commander-in-chief of United Nations forces in Korea. (Truman ended up sacking MacArthur for insubordination nine months later.) In 1962, just after midnight local time, Alitalia Flight 771, a DC-8, crashed as it was approaching Bombay (Mumbai), India, killing all 94 people on board. In 1972, the Nixon administration announced a deal to sell $750 million in grain to the Soviet Union. (However, the Soviets were also engaged in secretly buying subsidized American grain, resulting in what critics dubbed “The Great Grain Robbery.”) In 1989, Carlos Saul Menem was inaugurated as president of Argentina in the country’s first transfer of power from one democratically elected civilian leader to another in six decades. In 1994, Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s communist leader since 1948, died at age 82. Ten years ago: Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John Rigas and his son Timothy were convicted in New York of looting the cable company and deceiving investors. (John Rigas was sentenced to 12 years in prison; Timothy Rigas, 17.) A Swedish appeals court threw out a life prison sentence for the convicted killer of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, ruling that Mijailo Mijailovic should receive treatment for his “significant psychiatric problems.” (The Swedish Supreme Court later overturned the ruling and gave Mijailovic life in prison; in a 2011 newspaper interview, Mijailovic said he had faked mental illness during his trial in an attempt to get a less severe sentence.) Five years ago: Group of Eight leaders, including President Barack Obama, pledged to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as they met in L’Aquila, Italy. South Korea blamed North Korea for cyberattacks targeting its websites as well as those in the U.S. Today’s Birthdays: Singer Steve Lawrence is 79. Actor Jeffrey Tambor is 70.

Quake slams Mexico, Guatemala; at least three dead GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A magnitude-6.9 earthquake on the Pacific Coast jolted a wide area of southern Mexico and Central America Monday, killing at least three people while damaging homes, hospitals and churches. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit at 6:23 a.m. (7:23 a.m. EDT; 11:23 GMT) on the Pacific Coast 1 mile northnortheast of Puerto Madero, near the Guatemala border. It initially calculated the magnitude at 7.1 but later lowered the figure to 6.9. The national spokesman for local fire departments, Raul Hernandez, said at least two people died in their homes from collapsed walls in the Guatemalan town of Pati, in the border province of San Marcos, and another woman in Quetzaltenango died from a heart attack. But Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina said later in a press conference that the only officially confirmed death so far was of a newborn hit by a piece of false ceiling in a San Marcos hospital. He said it wasn’t clear if the woman’s heart attack was earthquake related. Civil protection officials in the Mexican state of Chiapas raised the toll to two dead, and said at least a dozen people were injured by falling tiles and other debris. Perez said the quake was felt in 12 of Guatemala’s 22 states. There were reports of power outages and rock slides on some roadways in Guatemala. Photos posted on social media sites and published by the Guatemalan newspaper Prensa Libre showed buildings with huge cracks across their facades in San Marcos, and one which apparently suffered a partial collapse. Classes were suspended in at least three western states bordering Mexico. In Chiapas, where the quake was centered, panicked people poured into the streets and the Red Cross said it was treating some frightened adults and children. “I thought the house was going to collapse,” said Claudia Gonzales, 32, who ran to the street in the town of Comitan with her 1-year-old daughter. The quake was felt across a broad swath of southern Mexico and as far away as Mexico City, but officials had no immediate reports of damage. The quake was centered 37 miles below the surface. In the city of Tapachula, near the epicenter, city employee Omar Santos said “buildings were moving, windows broke in some houses and businesses, and people ran through the streets in the dark.” Eduard Shevardnadze, ex-Georgian president, dies at 86 TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Eduard Shevardnadze was a key figure in revolutions abroad and the victim of one at home. As the Soviet Union’s foreign minister, he helped topple the Berlin Wall and end the Cold War, but as the leader of postSoviet Georgia his career in the public eye ended in humiliation when he was chased out of his parliament and forced into retirement. Shevardnadze died Monday at the age of 86, a decade after he left office. His spokeswoman said he died after a long illness, but did not elaborate. The white-haired man with a gravelly voice was the diplomatic face of Mikhail Gorbachev’s liberalizing policies of glasnost and perestroika. Following the wooden Andrei Gromyko, Shevardnadze impressed Western leaders with his charisma, his quick wit and his commitment to Gorbachev’s reform course. He was a main advocate of the policy of allowing the Warsaw Pact countries to seek their own political courses. It became known as the Sinatra Doctrine, a joking reference to the song “My Way,” and was a major break with the old Brezhnev Doctrine of keeping the satellite states on a tight leash. “He made a large contribution to the foreign affairs policy of perestroika, and he was a true supporter of new thinking in global affairs,” Gorbachev told Interfax Monday. “His appointment as the foreign minister was unexpected for many people, but he capably conducted affairs in that post and it wasn’t for nothing that he was valued by diplomats, his comrades at work and foreign partners.” Shevardnadze helped push through the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan in 1989, signed landmark arms control agreements, and helped negotiate German reunification in 1990 — a development that Soviet leaders had long feared and staunchly opposed. “I think one can say that he was one of the significant and outstanding statesmen of the 20th century,” Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Shevardnadze’s West German counterpart in the late 1980s, told The Associated Press. Former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker added: “Eduard Shevardnadze will have an honored place in history because he and Mikhail Gorbachev refused to support the use of force to keep the Soviet empire together. Many millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe and around the world owe their freedom to them.” But in the former Soviet Union, those nostalgic for a return to superpower status lumped Shevardnadze with Gorbachev in the ranks of the unpardonable. Shevardnadze resigned in December 1990, warning that reform was collapsing and dictatorship was imminent. A year later, the Soviet Union collapsed in the wake of an attempted hard-line coup against Gorbachev. Shevardnadze returned to Georgia after its first elected president, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, was ousted in a coup in 1992; Shevardnadze was elected speaker of parliament and became the country’s leader. Gamsakhurdia died under mysterious circumstances in 1993, and Shevardnadze was elected president for a five-year term in 1995 after the country adopted a new constitution. He survived two assassination attempts, including an assault on his motorcade with anti-tank weapons. Many observers suggested the attacks blunted Shevardnadze’s reformist impulses and left him interested only in holding onto power. Although he had pursued a pro-Western policy, Georgia under Shevardnadze became plagued by corruption and a deterioration of democracy. In November 2003, massive demonstrations that became known as the Rose Revolution erupted after allegations of widespread fraud in a parliamentary election. Police maintained a low profile — Shevardnadze later said he feared any police action against the demonstrators would lead to terrible bloodshed. After three weeks, protesters led by future president Mikhail Saakashvili broke into a parliament session where Shevardnadze was speaking and drove him out of the building. Shevardnadze was born on Jan. 25, 1928, in the village of Mamati near Georgia’s Black Sea coast, the fifth and final child in a rural family that hoped he would become a doctor. Instead, he launched a political career at age 20 by joining the Communist Party, and received a university degree only 31 years later from a teachers’ institute. He steadily rose through the ranks of the party, its Komsomol youth organization and Georgia’s police force until being named the republic’s interior minister, the top law enforcement official. He gained a reputation for purging corrupt Georgian officials and forcing them to give up illgotten cars, mansions and other property. Shevardnadze’s anti-cor- ruption campaign caught the attention of Soviet officials in Moscow, and he was named Communist Party chief of Georgia in 1972. He eased censorship and permitted his republic to become one of the most progressive in the cultural sphere, producing a stream of taboo-breaking films and theatrical productions. Shevardnadze was ap- pointed Soviet foreign minister in 1985. He resigned five years later to protest plans to use force to quell unrest in the Soviet Union. He joined Russian leader Boris Yeltsin in resisting an attempted coup against Gorbachev in August 1991, and returned to the foreign minister’s job for a brief stint later that year, as the Soviet Union sped toward extinction.

TV14 �The Daily Sentinel TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 SPORTS mdssports@civitasmedia.com Judge approves NFL concussion settlement PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge on Monday granted preliminary approval to a landmark deal that would compensate thousands of former NFL players for concussionrelated claims. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia came about two weeks after the NFL agreed to remove a $675 million cap on damages. Brody had previously questioned whether that would be enough money to pay all claims. “A class action settlement that offers prompt relief is superior to the likely alternative — years of expensive, difficult, and uncertain litigation, with no assurance of recovery, Curtis Compton | Atlanta Journal-Constitution | MCT while retired players’ physical and The 2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera, who finished mental conditions continue to detesecond to Adam Scott in the 2013 Masters in a sudden-death riorate,” Brody wrote. More than 4,500 former players playoff, chips to the first green during his practice round at Augusta National Golf Club on Tuesday, April 8, in Augusta, Ga. have filed suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowl-winning Angel Cabrera builds momentum for British Open WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Angel Cabrera has some much-needed momentum heading to the British Open in his quest for a title in a third different major. Cabrera snapped a fiveyear drought on the PGA Tour and became its oldest winner this season, closing with his second straight 6-under 64 at the Greenbrier Classic to beat George McNeill by two strokes Sunday. The 44-year-old Cabrera made good on his first visit to the historic venue in West Virginia that has put many players at ease with its laid-back environment and mountain views which the Argentine said reminded him of his home club in Cordoba. “I had been told by my friends that this was a great place, a great golf course,” Cabrera said. One that gave him his first non-major win on the tour, to go along with the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters. “After the 2009 Masters victory, I haven’t been too consistent,” Cabrera said. “But I’ve been working very hard of late to get back to where I think I should be.” With a combination of 330-yard drives, bold iron play and clutch putts, Cabrera finished with four rounds in the 60s for the first time since the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship. “I’ve been confident with my golf swing, and I feel confident mentally,” Cabrera said. Entering the British Open, “I’m just going to go over there and play, and it’s a very important tournament and it’s a different tournament, but I’m going to go play.” Cabrera, who didn’t even have a top-10 finish previously this season, finished at 16-under 264. He won $1.17 million and improved from 158th to 54th in the FedEx Cup standings. “I wanted it. I needed to win a tournament,” Cabrera said. “I felt under control today out there, and I didn’t want to let it get away from me.” McNeill had four consecutive birdies, then a hole-in-one on the 220-yard 8th hole, during his seasonbest round of 61. Afterward, he learned that his older sister, Michele McNeill, had died Sunday morning of breast cancer, Golf Channel reported. “Golf doesn’t really mean a whole lot,” McNeill told reporters. “So it’s hard.” McNeill was the clubhouse leader at 14 under well ahead of Cabrera, who still had the back nine to play. See MOMENTUM | 10 Jurisdictional issue delays Sterling trial LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jurisdictional issue delayed Monday’s scheduled start of a trial focusing on whether Donald Sterling’s estranged wife had the authority under terms of a family trust to unilaterally negotiate a $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers. Lawyers for Donald Sterling moved late last week to shift the case to federal court due to alleged medical privacy violations. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas delayed the start of the trial while Donald Sterling’s lawyers sought a decision from a federal judge on whether to take the case. The motion was assigned to a U.S. District Court judge to consider and Levanas ordered parties to return to his court at 2:30 p.m. PDT. “It may very well be this is not going to be in my hands,” Levanas said. Shelly Sterling was present for the day’s initial court session but her husband was not. “Unfortunately the case is in procedural limbo,” said her attorney, Pierce O’Donnell. Shelly Sterling struck the deal to sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer after Donald Sterling’s racist remarks to a girlfriend were publicized and the NBA moved to oust him as team owner. In order to do so, she had two doctors examine her 80-year-old husband and they declared him mentally incapacitated and unable to act as an administrator of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers. The terms of the trust say incapacitation can be determined by two licensed doctors without ties to the family who are specialists in their field. A trustee must cooperate with such exams. A court must find that Shelly Sterling acted in accordance with the trust and that the deal still applies — even though the trust has since been revoked by Donald Sterling — for the sale to proceed. Donald Sterling’s attorneys say that his wife “blindsided” him and he submitted to examinations under false pretenses. They allege there was undue influence in the doctors’ findings, and that the exams and letters regarding his mental capacity were defective and incomplete. Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia. The settlement is designed to last at least 65 years and cover retirees who develop Lou Gehrig’s disease and other neurological problems. “This is an extraordinary settlement for retired NFL players and their families — from those who suffer with neuro-cognitive illnesses today, to those who are currently healthy but fear they may develop symptoms decades into the future,” plaintiffs’ attorneys Sol Weiss and Christopher Seeger said in a statement. NFL senior vice president Anastasia Danias said in a statement that the league was “grateful to Judge Brody for her guidance and her thoughtful analysis of the issues as reflected in the comprehensive opinion she issued today.” The original settlement included $675 million for compensatory claims for players with neurological symptoms, $75 million for baseline testing and $10 million for medical research and education. The NFL would also pay an additional $112 million to the players’ lawyers, for a total payout of more than $870 million. The revised settlement eliminates the cap on overall damage claims but retains a payout formula for individual retirees that considers their age and illness. A young retiree with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, would receive $5 million, a 50-year-old with Alzheimer’s disease would get $1.6 million and an 80-year-old with early dementia would get $25,000. Even with the cap removed, both sides said they believe the NFL will spend no more than about $675 million on damage claims by ex-players. Critics of the deal have said the league, with annual revenues approaching $10 billion, was getting off lightly. Lawyers for the plaintiffs said the settlement avoids the risk of a protracted legal battle. A fairness hearing on the final settlement will be held Nov. 19. Rashaun Rucker | Detroit Free Press | MCT Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James (23) performs his hand powder ritual before the start of Game 4 in the Eastern Conference playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, on Sunday, April 26, 2009. Cleveland defeated Detroit, 99-78. James, Cavs owner could mend differences, reunite CLEVELAND (AP) — There was no eye contact, nothing to indicate any reconciliation. The breakup of LeBron James and Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was beyond bitter. But now, as James considers a return to the team he abandoned four years ago with an entire region breathlessly awaiting a homecoming it couldn’t imagine in its wildest dreams, it appears there has been some healing between the NBA superstar and his former boss. Once aligned as basketball partners, James and Gilbert could barely stand the sight of each other during Miami’s games in Cleveland the past four years. It was an intense standoff, awkward and seemingly irreparable. Time may have fixed their fractured relationship. Most of the rest of the city has already forgiven James. Cleveland, without a major sports championship to celebrate in almost 50 years, is praying for a reunion. On Sunday, Cavs fans flocked to social media to feverishly track one of Gilbert’s private jets as it flew to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where the plane’s occupants dodged reporters and TV cameras with some deception. It’s not known if Gilbert was on the jet — or if the trip was even NBA-related — but that didn’t douse the free-agency firestorm. As James’ decision nears, there’s a renewed hope the prodigal son will come home. But in the backdrop looms the James-Gilbert relationship. James is giving serious thought to returning to Cleveland, to going home and making amends with the city for the one misstep in an otherwise impeccable NBA career. Tuesday is the four-year anniversary of announcing he was “taking my talents to South Beach” and the city is once again on hold. James is set to meet with Heat president Pat Riley, who was able to lure the four-time league MVP to Miami in 2010 but could be running out of time to convince him to stay. Two people familiar with the situation said James will meet with Riley “in the next two or three days.” The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the team nor James announced their plans publicly. James holds all the cards. It’s his choice. It was the same four years ago, when James ended his seven-year run in Cleveland by linking with AllStars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The “Big 3” went on to win two titles and went to four straight NBA finals, getting crushed by San Antonio this year. See JAMES | 10 Reds RF Bruce starts at 1B for injured Votto CINCINNATI (AP) — Four hours before the first pitch, right fielder Jay Bruce was taking ground balls at a position he hasn’t played since high school. The Reds are making a big switch to get by without Joey Votto. Bruce was ready to start at first base on Monday against the Chicago Cubs, the first time in his professional career that he’s played anywhere other than the outfield. Manager Bryan Price said Bruce will play first on occasion while Votto deals with a nagging thigh injury that could land him back on the disabled list. “We don’t really have a bunch of true first basemen here besides Joey,” Price said. “So Jay’s been taking ground balls over there. And he has some history there — not a lot, and it’s not in pro ball, but he does have some history there and he looks athletic doing it.” The big question is what to do with Votto. The 2010 NL MVP missed 23 games with a strained muscle above his left knee. The Reds have said the injury won’t fully heal until after the See TRIAL | 10 season, but they’ll try to keep him in the lineup as much as possible. He’s batting only .250 in 23 games since his return and hasn’t homered since May 10. He struck out three times during a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday and got the next day off. “It’s becoming apparent in the quality of his play that it’s not just something that’s an inconvenience,” Price said. “It’s getting to the point where it’s very difficult for him to compete.” Votto went for another MRI on the leg before Monday’s game. Price said the team was waiting to get the results before deciding whether he needs to go back on the disabled list. “We don’t know if this is going to be a DL for sure,” Price said. With Votto unavailable, the Reds were short-handed heading into a five-game series with the Cubs that includes a doubleheader on Tuesday. Catcher Brayan Pena has played first base, but was in Florida on paternity leave. He’s expected back on Tuesday. Nobody else on the roster has significant experience at first base. If Votto has to go back on the disabled list, the Reds might look for another first baseman in a trade. “We’re trying to plug a hole and we don’t have an obvious solution,” Price said. For now, it’s Bruce. The lefty played first base in high school before he grew and was moved to the outfield. He got a first baseman’s mitt during spring training three years ago and has occasionally taken ground balls at first base to break up the monotony of batting practice. With Votto hurting, he started taking infield practice more regularly the last few weeks and told Price he was willing to give it a try. “It’s going to be one of those things where you learn on the fly,” Bruce said. “I told Bryan I was confident I could do it. He asked me today when I could be ready to play. I said tonight, and here we are.” Bruce snapped an 0-for-26 slump on Sunday that was the longest of his career, hitting a tiebreaking tworun homer in the eighth inning for a 4-2 win over Milwaukee. The fourthplace Reds are six games behind the Brewers in the NL Central. �Tuesday, July 8, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com Professional Services Be sure to visit us online at www. mydailysentinel. com LEGALS 60517845 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 Please leave a message Miscellaneous NATIONAL MARKETPLACE Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?

The camps will run from 1-3 p.m. for players age 7-13 and from 3-5 p.m. for players age 14-18 on both dates. Cost is $30. New Rio Grande softball head coach Amber Bowman will direct the camp, while RedStorm players will also be assisting in the instruction. Bowman was a four-year starter at shortstop for Rio from 2008-11. She then spent two years as a graduate assistant coach for the RedStorm before serving as an assistant coach at the University of Northwestern Ohio in 2014. The hitting camp will provide beginning and advanced hitters with a specific fundamental base. Participants will leave with a solid understanding of the phases of the swing and drill work to improve on their own. The pitching camp will provide beginning pitchers with a specific fundamental basis. They will leave with a daily workout progression. Advanced pitchers will receive instruction on spin pitching along with advanced coaching on leg drive and balance.

(AP) — It had been more than 15 years since the iconic No. 43 drove to Victory Lane. So waiting through two days of thunderstorms and three red flags was relatively easy for Aric Almirola and his Richard Petty Motorsports team. Almirola won the raindelayed and rain-shortened NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, putting Petty’s famed blue car back on top for the first time since 1999. Almirola’s first Cup win came on the same weekend Petty celebrated the 30th anniversary of his 200th career win. The 30-yearold Almirola was just a baby when Petty picked up that milestone victory. “The 43 car is without a doubt the most famous car in our sport’s history,” Almirola said. “And to have that opportunity to drive that race car has been really special from the day that I stepped foot in it. All I wanted to do from the very first time I drove it was get it to Victory Lane. It took two and a half years I guess, but I finally did it.” Petty wasn’t around for the festivities, having already left Daytona during one of the many delays. He didn’t miss much considering steady rain put a slight damper on the post-race party. NASCAR, though, patched through the seventime NASCAR champion nicknamed “The King” on a conference call afterward and talked about how he never lost faith despite years of struggles as a team owner. “If you look back at the history of Petty Enterprises and all the turmoil we’ve been through, I never gave up on the thing,” Petty said. “It was one of those deals I said, ‘OK, if I keep working at it long enough, we’re going to be able to overcome all of this.’ Just because we won a race doesn’t mean we’ve overcome it, don’t get me wrong. But it puts in a higher speed track. You know you can do it. “Everybody’s got to have a start, and I think this will be starting it pretty good.” The Coke Zero 400 was originally scheduled to go off Saturday night, but steady rain forced it to be postponed a day. When it did finally get started Sunday, it was interrupted several more times. There were three red flags, two of them because of huge accidents that took out most of the 43-car field and several top contenders. Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch were among those knocked out of contention. Biffle and Kahne started the second massive wreck, a 25-car fiasco that ended with Busch getting flipped upside-down in his No. 18 Toyota. “It just felt like a slow carnival ride,” Busch said. The same could be said for the entire weekend at Daytona. Sprint Cup quali- Stephen M. Dowell | Orlando Sentinel | MCT Aric Almirola celebrates in the rain in Victory Lane after winning the rain-shortened Coke Zero 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach on Sunday, July 6. fying was a debacle, and then rain affected the entire, four-day event at NASCAR’s most famous track. Sunday’s race topped it all, with just seven cars avoiding both crashes. Not surprisingly, Almirola was among them. He became the first Cup driver other than Petty to win in the legendary No. 43 at Daytona. The previous time the 43 won was with John Andretti behind the wheel at Martinsville in 1999. So Petty’s renowned car went 543 races without a victory. Almirola got out of his car and watched the radar with crewmembers during the final red flag, a 56-minute wait that had most drivers believing the race would resume. But when heavy rain soaked parts of the track, officials called it for good with 48 laps remaining. “I was doing a lot of hardcore praying, hoping the good Lord would open the skies up and let it rain,” Almirola said. “If we would have went back racing, I still think we had enough car to go there. “I don’t think this was handed to us by any means. Let me be very clear about that. … Those last two restarts, Kurt Busch and Austin Dillon and Brian Vickers, they didn’t just let me go. They saw the rain James coming, too, and we were all racing for it.” Vickers finished second, followed by Kurt Busch, Casey Mears and rookie Austin Dillon. Danica Patrick was eighth despite a late pit-road mistake, and reigning Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 14th. Almirola became the 11th driver to win this season as they jockey for one of the 16 spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. In his third full season driving for Petty, Almirola went into Daytona with just four career top-five finishes and had never fin- ished higher than 18th in the standings. But he and teammate Marcos Ambrose have slowly been inching RPM back toward the front, and Almirola had his previous career-best finish of third earlier this season at Bristol. Many other drivers left Daytona scratching their heads over the decision to not wait out the rain like they had so many other times this weekend. “It seems early to call a race,” Kurt Busch said. “Maybe we could have run later on today and still finished and everybody could have back home and to work on Monday.” Momentum From Page 6 The trio could be splitting up. Wade and Bosh have been waiting to see what James will do, and it’s possible he’s going to go it alone. On July 8, 2010, “The Decision” played out in a national TV spectacle and was a blow to the collective psyche of Cleveland. Fans here couldn’t understand why James, Akron born and bred, would intentionally embarrass the people who say they loved him most. In those early hours afterward, some Cleveland fans burned his No. 23 jersey in streets near where his largerthan-life figure towered on a building billboard. It was an ugly scene. Gilbert added fuel to the inferno. Cleveland’s dynamic owner, never afraid to offer his opinion, wrote a letter to Cleveland fans, condemning James for a “shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own.” Gilbert called James “our former hero” and the “self-declared former King.” Gilbert also guaranteed the Cavs would win a title before James, a boast he later swallowed when James won his first title in his second year in Miami while his team went 40-108 in two seasons without him. Gilbert further ripped James by telling the AP in a phone call that he believed the two-time MVP quit during the playoffs against Boston. “It’s not about him leaving,” Gilbert said. “It’s the disrespect. It’s time for people to hold these athletes accountable for their actions. Is this the way you raise your children? I’ve been holding this all in for a long time.” He let it all ago, and it caused a mammoth rift with James. But over the past few years, there has been some cooling between them. James said he didn’t hold a grudge toward Gilbert, and one day before the Heat rallied from a 27-point defi- cit in the second half to beat the Cavs in Cleveland, Gilbert offered something of an olive branch on Twitter. “Cleveland Cavaliers young talent makes our future very bright,” Gilbert wrote. “Clearly, LeBron’s is as well. Time for everyone to focus on the road ahead.” The road has brought them to an unlikely crossroads: a possible reunion. If James does come back, he’ll return to a roster of new faces. Center Anderson Varejao is the only player left from Cleveland’s 2010 roster. James will also see a revamped front office, newly hired coach David Blatt and a revived downtown that now includes a casino owned by Gilbert. When James left, the odds he would ever wear a Cavaliers uniform appeared insurmountable. Four years later, there’s a chance it could happen. Hard feelings, however, could get in the way. From Page 6 Cabrera overtook McNeill with birdie putts of 17 and 7 feet on the 11th and 12th holes, then gave a fist pump after moving to 17 under with the highlight of his round — a 176-yard 8-iron up the hill on the par-4 13th, the hardest hole at Old White TPC, that settled into the cup for eagle. Webb Simpson, who had flown home on Friday, learned upon landing that he made the cut, then rented a car and drove back to West Virginia, finished third after shooting 63 Sunday. Third-round leader Billy Hurley III, playing alongside Cabrera, bogeyed four of the first six holes to fall out of contention. He shot 73 and finished in a seven-way tie for fourth at 9 under. No third-round leader has hung on to win the Greenbrier Classic in its five-year existence. Joining Hurley at 9 under were Bud Cauley (64), Bradley (66), Brendon Todd (66), Chris Stroud (69), Cameron Tringale (69) and Will Wilcox (69). The leading four players among the top 12 not already exempt for the British Open earned spots in the July 1720 tournament at Royal Liverpool. Those spots went to McNeill, Stroud, Tringale and Hurley. At age 64, U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson shot 69 to finish tied for 35th at 4 under. On the par-5 17th, Watson reached the green on his second shot from 271 yards out, surprising even himself because the group ahead was still putting. Trial From Page 6 They say that if he had been properly informed, he would have participated at a more convenient time instead of being pulled out of legal meetings. “He would have also eaten properly and have been well rested for the examinations and focused on taking the exam with the full and complete understanding what it was for and the serious nature of the exam,” they wrote in filings. But Shelly Sterling’s attorney said that Donald Sterling voluntarily went to take scans of his brain and there was no requirement to remind Donald Sterling, who is an attorney, or his legal team of the trust’s conditions. Also at issue is the question of what happens to a deal that hasn’t been closed when a trust is revoked. Donald Sterling re- voked the trust on June 9 — weeks after Shelly Sterling negotiated the deal with Ballmer. Shelly Sterling’s attorneys also contend that finishing the deal is part of “winding down” the trust’s “Why I love my job in advertising... Our programs are the best of the best! There are many reasons why I love my job with Civitas Media. Those that stand out are the exciting special programs and contests that keep us motivated through friendly competition. Our Summer Stimulus program is the best of the best. It has all the components that a great revenue manager and leader loves! We combine great products and discounts for our customers, along with competition among the Civitas team, the opportunity to earn additional $$$ and the fabulous Summit of Success annual trip. You couldn’t ask for more! At the summit of success annual trip we felt like royalty, giving us the opportunity to meet and get to know fellow members of other sales teams, managers, revenue leaders and even CEO Michael Bush!! The enthusiasm and knowledge we gained was priceless.” -- Sherri Sattler To begin your career in advertising or advertising sales management either locally or at locations in eleven other states, please contact Greg Sweet at gsweet@civitasmedia.com affairs and that she has an obligation to close or Ballmer will sue. Donald Sterling’s attorneys argue that the probate court lacks jurisdiction and that winding down affairs refers to passive actions, not a sale that markedly changes the assets in the trust and its value. On Sunday night, lawyers for Shelly Sterling and Ballmer filed an emergency brief in federal court opposing Donald Sterling’s motion to remove the trial to federal jurisdiction. They argued that no federal issue has been raised by him and he waived his right to move the case when he participated in the probate case with numerous motions. They argued that Levanas should order the trial to go forward in probate court. Whatever happens, timing is tight. NBA owners must approve what would be a record-breaking deal and are scheduled to meet July 15 to vote. The brief filed Sunday said any delay will deny Shelly Sterling the chance to close the deal with Ballmer “without ever having had an opportunity for a hearing on the matter.” July 15 is the same day Ballmer’s offer is set to expire — and there is no deal without the judge’s approval of the sale. If the sale isn’t completed by Sept. 15, the league said it could seize the team and put it up for auction. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
