He had no March 31, Meigs County Depu- valid operators license, and gave ties Rick Patterson and Josh a fictitious name to the deputies, Ridenour executed multiple but when confronted with his shawley@civitasmedia.com real name Millhone attempted to flee by running from the officers. Sgt. Patterson was able to take Millhone to the ground, and during the struggle, Deputy Ridenour deployed his taser and stopped Millhone’s attempted escape. A consent search was obtained from the property owner, and a female with Millhone, Sarah Black, 29, for the residence at 39561 Keebaugh Follrod Road, Pomeroy, where illegal drugs and paraphernalia were discovered. According to Wood, Millhone was at the Cool Spot to pickup Black after she got off work. She was not arrested. The arrest warrants executed were from three Ohio counties. The Clark County Sheriff’s warrants were for three indictments of trafficking in heroin and four indictments for trafficking in LSD. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office had charges for a felony of the first degree of possession of LSD, and Athens County Sheriff’s Office had a warrant for a probation violation stemming from drugs and health and safety violations. Millhone was turned over to the Athens County Sheriff’s where he is presently being held. The case remains under investigation based on the new evidence collected in Meigs County. Millhone could face charges including fleeing, resisting arrest, motor vehicle violations and drug charges. “We should be proud of the work our officers do for the good of our community,” said Wood. “They place their very lives on the line daily so that we can raise our families in a county that’s safe. I am thankful that only a scuffed knee and a torn pair of uniform trousers was all that happened from this incident.” The case and evidence will be forwarded to the Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams for review. The evidence found at the residence has been submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Invesitgation and Identification for identification and weight.

Wednesday, April 24 MARIETTA — There will be a meeting of the Natural Resources Assistance Council at Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Afghan teenager fatally stabs US soldier KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan teenager fatally stabbed an American soldier in the neck while he played with local children, officials said Monday, as the U.S. death toll rose sharply last month with an uptick in fighting due to warmer temperatures. Last week’s calculated attack shows that international troops still face a myriad of dangers even though they are increasingly taking a back seat in operations with Afghan forces ahead of a full withdrawal by the end of 2014. Just one U.S. service member was killed in February — a five-year monthly low — but the American death toll climbed to at least 14 last month. Overall, the number of Americans and other foreign forces killed in Afghanistan has fallen as their role shifts more toward training and advising government troops instead of fighting. But a series of so-called insider attacks on foreign troops by Afghan forces of insurgents disguised as them has threatened to undermine the trust needed to help President Hamid Karzai’s government take the lead in securing the country after more than 11 years at war. The attack that killed Sgt. Michael Cable, 26, of Philpot, Ky., last Wednesday occurred after the soldiers had secured an area for a meeting of U.S. and Afghan officials in a province near the volatile border with Pakistan. But one of two senior U.S. officials who confirmed that Cable had been stabbed by a young man said the assailant was not believed to have been in uniform so it was not being classified as an insider attack. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said the attacker was thought to be about 16 years old. He escaped so his age couldn’t be verified. Cable’s brother Raymond Johnston, a 42-year-old waiter in Owensboro, Ky., said the Army told the family the basics of what happened and that his brother was stabbed in the neck from behind. Johnston said his brother, who also did a tour of duty in Iraq, was “prepared before he left for anything that happened” in Afghanistan. Cable met individually with Johnston and three other family members before leaving for Afghanistan and had similar conversations with each — that the deployment was extreme- ly hazardous and that his family and friends should “continue to enjoy life” if he was killed. “He was able to communicate to the family about if the worst was supposed to happen, what we were supposed to do,” Johnston said. Cable’s body was scheduled to return to Owensboro in western Kentucky on Thursday. Visitation was scheduled for Friday with the funeral set for Saturday. The Afghan and American dignitaries were attending the swearingin ceremony of Afghan Local Police in Shinwar district in Nangarhar province, senior district official Zalmai Khan said. Afghan Local Police, or ALP, recruits are drawn from villages and backed by the U.S. military. The soldier was playing with children outside when the attacker came from behind and stabbed him in the neck with a large knife, Khan said. Other guards nearby didn’t immediately notice what had happened because there was no gunshot, and the assailant was able to flee to neighboring Pakistan, he added. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid identified the attacker as a 16-year-old local man named Khalid. He said Khalid was acting independently when he killed the soldier but had joined the Islamic militant movement since fleeing the scene. The district official Khan did not provide a name or confirm the Taliban’s claim. The Pentagon said in a statement last week that Cable, died from injuries sustained when his unit was attacked by enemy forces. The killing comes as the U.S. death toll rose to 14 in March, compared with four in the previous two months of the year, partly fueled by the start of the spring fighting season when the Taliban and other insurgents take advantage of improved weather to step up attacks. By contrast, at least 67 members of the Afghan security forces were killed last month, compared with 42 in February and 55 in January. In a success story for the Afghan government, the intelligence service announced that it had foiled a plan to attack the Sulma dam in the western province of Herat. Agency spokesman Shafiqullah Tahiri said an Afghan man identified as Sayed Gul was arrested with 1,300 kilograms (about 1.5 tons) of explosives. He blamed the Pakistani Taliban for plotting to bomb the dam in a bid to destabilize the country.

(AP) — Arkansas legislators passed a law Monday requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, overriding Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe’s veto of the bill, which he called an expensive solution to a non-existent problem. The Republican-led state House voted 52-45, largely along party lines, to complete an override that started in the GOP-controlled Senate on a 21-12 vote last week. Only a simple majority was needed in each chamber. “We are trying to protect the integrity of one of the most fundamental rights we have here in America,” said state Rep. Stephen Meeks, a Republican from Greenbrier and the bill’s House sponsor. House Speaker Davy Carter, a Cabot Republican who did not vote for the bill when it passed the House last month, supported the override. The governor, who last week called the bill “an expensive solution in search of a problem,” told reporters earlier Monday he had talked with some lawmakers to explain his veto, but had not urged them to vote against an override. “He made his case as to why he thought it wasn’t going to be good for Arkansas, but they have the final say and they’ve had that say,” Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said after the vote. Rep. John Walker, a Little Rock Democrat and noted civil rights lawyer, warned lawmakers to “not go back on history” by enacting the requirement. Critics of such voter ID laws say the type of in-person voter fraud they are meant to prevent is extremely rare, and that the laws are really designed to make it harder to vote for certain groups that tend to back Democrats, including minorities, students and the elderly. Black lawmakers in Arkansas have compared the new voter ID law to poll taxes used in the Jim Crow era. “I dare say you’ll find any of your colleagues in this body of my color who will support this. It doesn’t matter what their leanings are. What you’re doing in effect is saying we don’t care about what you think, we’re going to do this anyway,” said Rep. John Walker, DLittle Rock, who is black. “If you have the majority of course that’s what you can do, but do you really uniformly to a person by party disrespect us so much?” One Democrat, Rep. Fred Love of Little Rock, was listed as voting for the override, but he later indicated he would likely file a letter with the House clerk stating that he intended to vote the other way. Love chairs the legislative black caucus. Sen. Bryan King, who sponsored the bill in the Senate, said after Monday’s vote that he was relieved by the results. “This bill has had the most debate about it, it’s had the most scrutiny of any bill this session,” the Republican from Green Forest said. “It’s going to become the law of the land here in Arkansas, and that’s a great thing. An overwhelming majority of Arkansans support it.” The new law will require Arkansas to provide a free photo ID to voters who don’t have one and will cost the state an estimated $300,000. The requirement won’t take effect until there is funding for the IDs or until January, whichever occurs last. While Arkansas poll workers must ask for identification under current law, voters don’t have to show it to cast a ballot. Under the new law, voters who don’t show photo identification can cast provisional ballots. Those ballots would be counted only if voters provide ID to county election officials or, before noon on the Monday following an election, sign an affidavit stating they are indigent or have a religious objection to being photographed. Arkansas is among 19 states where proposals to enact voter ID laws or strengthen existing requirements have been introduced this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Republicans have been pushing for similar laws in other states, although the measures have faced court challenges. Voter ID laws in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have been blocked. Similar restrictions by Texas and South Carolina have been rejected by the federal government under the Voting Rights Act, and Mississippi is waiting for federal approval of its photo ID law. Four states — Georgia, Indiana, Kansas and Tennessee — have similarly strict photo ID requirement laws in effect. Virginia will also have a strict photo ID requirement for voters in effect July 2014 under a measure signed into law last week by Gov. Bob McDonnell. Arkansas Republicans had pushed for voter ID requirements for years, but the measure failed to reach the governor’s desk under Democratic majorities. Republicans last November won control of the Legislature for the first time in 138 years and have enjoyed a number of successes, including the passage of stricter anti-abortion laws and broader gun rights. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Legislators aren’t done trying to improve West Virginia’s public schools following the passage of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s wide-ranging proposal, with the House Education Committee crafting and advancing several follow-up measures within the last week. Two of these proposals passed to the Senate by nearly unanimous margins Monday. One aims to reduce administrative cost and overhead in the state’s eight Regional Education Service Agencies. It allows county school board members and superintendents within each RESA to meet every other year and develop more ways to share services. Monday’s other bill would exempt Monroe and Nicholas counties from state law requiring school attendance. Each is launching programs targeting students at risk of dropping out, House Education Chair Mary Poling said. Monroe would increase the age at which students and quit school from 17 to 18, the Barbour County Dem- ocrat said. Nicholas would allow students to erase up to two unexcused absences each semester if they attend school on Saturday. Both counties are taking part in the innovation zone program, which permits limited flexibility from state school policies. A recent audit of West Virginia’s education system, which prompted both Tomblin’s legislation and the overall reform push, found it was uniquely hobbled by rigid rules and a top-heavy bureaucracy when compared to other states. 60400869 Lawmakers pressing ahead on education �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Tuesday, April 2, 2013 Other issues in focus Jeep takes a as war, economy fade radical new turn Dee-Ann Durbin AP Auto Writer Liz Sidoti The Associated Press WASHINGTON — After a dozen years of war and a half-dozen of economic troubles, the United States is beginning to wrestle with a question even more existential than those big events: What does it mean to be an American? Immigration reform and gay marriage. Affirmative action and voting rights. Gun control and, more broadly, the role of government in our lives. Today, the Supreme Court, Congress, the White House and the public all are confronting a collective slate of issues that, taken together, speak to the country’s evolving identity. Fueling this debate: dramatic demographic changes that are causing equally dramatic shifts in public opinion on various matters. They suggest that the notion of how we define being an American may be shifting. President Barack Obama, being inaugurated for a second term in January, seemed to see this coming at us. “We have always understood that when times change, so must we,” Obama said as he began his second term with an agenda heavy on domestic issues. “Decisions,” he said, “are upon us, and we cannot afford delay.” There are two key reasons why identity issues haven’t pushed to the forefront until recently. The 9/11 attacks produced a strong focus on all matters of terrorism and war. That included privacy, torture and anything related to national security and foreign policy — and, of course, protecting ourselves from another attack. First Afghanistan weighed heavily, then Iraq. Then the economy showed signs of softening. The economic slide began and the bottom dropped out, plunging the country into recession as 2009 began. Unemployment hit double digits before things stabilized. Next came the slow path to recovery and the debate on how to make it happen. Now, the Iraq war is over, the Afghanistan one is winding to an end and immediate fears of further terrorism have, to some extent, faded. The economy has been rebounding: The job market is growing healthier, home prices are rising and consumers are starting to spend more. Those issues have receded enough to push domestic concerns higher on the list of what people, and thus politicians, think is most important. Polling by the Gallup organization underscores this notion. In March 2001, education, ethical/moral issues and the economy ranked as the nation’s top problems, and no other issue reached double digits. A year later, after the attacks, 22 percent cited terrorism, followed by the economy and “fear of war/feelings of fear in this country.” By March 2005, the Iraq war took precedence, with 25 percent calling it the nation’s top problem, followed by Social Security and the economy. Then, amid the 2009 recession, 51 percent of the country cited the economy, with unemployment or jobs, a lack of money and poor or pricy health care rounding out the first rung of concerns. Now look at last month. The economy remains the top concern, but the percentage of people who say so — 24 percent — is half of what it was four years ago. Dissatisfaction with government is a close second. Unemployment and jobs, and the federal budget deficit, also are up there.

Spans of peace and prosperity typically usher secondary issues to the forefront. This is because we have time to worry about, and address, things that feel less important during wartime and recession. Remember the 1990s under President Bill Clinton, when the nation careened from domestic matters to political scandals? After two years of the Monica Lewinsky saga, there was a huge issue vacuum, with the 2000 exit poll finding no single dominant topic. Sept. 11, terrorism, Afghanistan, Iraq and then the economy filled it through the next decade. Here’s what’s different this time: The void created as those matters fade is being filled by topics becoming dominant in a country of changing faces and evolving views. America is becoming less white, largely because of the fast growth of Hispanics. Racial and ethnic minorities are poised to collectively become a U.S. majority somewhere around 2043. The nation is also becoming more libertarian-leaning in its attitudes on many cultural issues; younger generations tend to want the government to stay out of decisions over what they smoke or who they marry. As a result, evolving public opinion is putting pressure on politicians to change with the times. The Supreme Court’s docket of thorny cases shows as much. It is deciding cases this year on affirmative action, voting rights and immigration that could redefine the racial debate in the United States. And last week, the justices heard arguments on the constitutionality of the federal law that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman, a case that has enormous implications for gay couples. DETROIT — The Jeep Cherokee is back, with a surprising design that could win some new buyers but lose some old fans. The 2014 Cherokee midsize SUV made its debut Wednesday at the New York International Auto Show. The remake is so radical that observers might not realize it’s a Jeep. The new Cherokee ditches Jeep’s traditional boxy look for a more aerodynamic style. It replaces the brand’s signature round headlights with sharply angled slits. The interior is plush and full of luxury options like automatic parallel parking. Even Jeep’s seven-slat grille didn’t go untouched — it’s much smaller and creased in the middle to fold over the Cherokee’s nose. It’s a look more reminiscent of a Honda CR-V than the model it replaces — the Liberty — and past Cherokees that helped establish Jeep as a symbol of toughness and off-road adventure. All this isn’t sitting well with some Jeep fans, who say the 72-year-old brand is straying too far from its rugged, utilitarian roots. They bemoan the new styling and softer ride, saying it’s more suited for a trip to the mall than the Rubicon trail. “It’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen on the road and to put a Jeep badge on it, let alone call it a Cherokee, is an insult to the name and heritage that Jeep has always delivered,” says Micah Myers, a longtime Jeep fan from Lexington Park, Md., who drives a 13-year-old Cherokee. Chrysler Group, Jeep’s parent, acknowledges that the design is polarizing. But Jeep needs to win back the suburbanites who have spent the last decade defecting to a newer batch of car-like, fuel-efficient competitors like the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota RAV4. The new Cherokee goes on sale this fall. Jeep President and CEO Mike Manley said the new Cherokee is a capable offroad vehicle that also performs well on pavement. “It’s true to Jeep, but now will have all the attributes that those customers that may have bought an import brand, for example, or a different vehicle, have been looking for,” he said. In 2002, after Jeep replaced the aging Cherokee with the cheaper, smaller Liberty, a record 171,212 were sold in the U.S., according to Ward’s AutoInfoBank. Last year that fell to 75,482. The CR-V outsold the Liberty by more than three to one. “They need to do something different, and that kind of vehicle is something different altogether,” says Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst at the car-buying site Ed- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That explains the aerodynamic style and the new nine-speed transmission under the hood. The all-wheel-drive Liberty currently gets 22 miles per gallon on the highway, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, making it one of the worst performers among midsize SUVs. The new Cherokee will get up to 31 mpg on the highway. Finally, Jeep needs the SUV to appeal to customers around the world, not just adventurous types. The Cherokee will be built in Toledo, Ohio, but exported to more than 150 countries, including China. “We wanted a design that is fluid and efficient yet still rugged and looks at home on the trail or at the theater,” said Mark Allen, Jeep’s design chief. The Cherokee first went on sale in 1974, when Jeep was still owned by American Motors Corp. In 1984, American Motors released a new Cherokee that was smaller, narrower and lighter than the original, essentially inventing the sport utility vehicle. Sales soared. More than 100,000 Cherokees were sold each year between 1986 and 2001. Off-roaders were big fans because of the Cherokee’s capability. In 2001, Jeep’s new owner, Chrysler, revamped the SUV again. It changed the name to Liberty, which tested better in focus groups and helped attract new buyers. The Liberty initially sold well, but then struggled as the midsize SUV market got more crowded and Chrysler — which went through bankruptcy in 2009 — invested little money in it. Krebs says bringing back the Cherokee name makes sense, since it fits neatly under its larger sibling, the Grand Cherokee SUV. It will also save Chrysler money, since the vehicle has always kept the Cherokee name in international markets. But purists complain that the plush new model is nothing like Cherokees of old. For one thing, it shares a car underbody with Fiat SpA, instead of a platform designed for off-roading. Nearly 900 fans have already “liked” a Facebook petition asking Chrysler not to call the new SUV a Cherokee. David Silecchia, who has owned three Cherokee XJs from 1988, 1998 and 2000, thinks the 2014 Cherokee will sell, but not to rock-climbing adventurers like him. “Jeep now seems to want to appeal to the people who go to the mall, throw a bunch of shopping bags in the back, drive home and read a book,” said Silecchia, a student and information technology worker in Georgia. “The 2014 Cherokee is a nice vehicle, don’t get me wrong, but not a suitable “rebirth” of the Cherokee name.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

Ohio clinic fights suit alleging failed abortion AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio clinic denies a woman’s allegations that doctors were negligent and failed to successfully perform the abortion she sought, eventually leading to the birth of her daughter. In a court filing responding to the lawsuit late last week, the Akron Women’s Medical Group and two doctors acknowledge Ariel Knights of Cuyahoga Falls sought an abortion on March 3, 2012. But they deny any negligence and seek to have the case dismissed, citing a long list of possible defenses. “I believe my client absolutely met the standard of care and that this case has no basis to be in litigation,” attorney D. Cheryl Atwell, who represents the medical group and the doctors, said Monday. Lawyers still are exchanging medical records, and Atwell said she couldn’t comment further. The malpractice lawsuit was filed March 4 on behalf of 22-year-old Knights. Her attorney, James Gutbrod, said Monday that the medical group’s legal response was general and he had no comment on it. Knights has said she sought the abortion because she has a medical condition called uterine didelphys, resulting in a double uterus with individual cervices, and a doctor had told her that her pregnancy and her life could be threatened because the fetus was carried in an unstable uterus. She learned about a week after the abortion procedure that she was still pregnant, according to the lawsuit alleging the defendants “were negligent and deviated from the appropriate standard of care.” It also says that Knights was referred to a second abortion clinic after she found out she was still pregnant, but that clinic was unwilling to become involved in “somebody else’s mistake,” and she refused to return to the original clinic for a second abortion attempt. Knights made a second appointment with the medical group but did not show up for it, according to the defendants’ filing. It doesn’t specify the date of the second appointment. Knights, who previously carried a son in her other uterus, eventually gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The lawsuit seeks at least $25,000 in compensatory damages. 33334 Hysell Run Road, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769. Online condolences may be sent at birchfieldfuneralhome.com.

(AP) — A cast member of the MTV reality show “BUCKWILD” was found dead Monday in a sport utility vehicle in a ditch along with his uncle and a third, unidentified person, authorities said. Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said the bodies of cast member, Shain Gandee, 21, his uncle David Gandee, 48, and the third person were found Monday in a remote area near Sissonville. Authorities had been searching for the men since early Sunday morning. They were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar in Sissonville and they told people they were going driving off-road. Humphreys said state police were getting ready to send out an aviation unit to search for the men when authorities received a call Monday morning that a vehicle was found wrecked in a muddy area a few miles from Gandee’s home in Sissonville, about 15 miles outside of Charleston. Authorities found the 1984 Ford Bronco that belonged to the Gandee family in a ditch with all three men inside. Humphreys did not provide details on the condition of the vehicle or the bodies. He said no foul play was suspected. The terrain in the Thaxton Hollow area was “very muddy, very rough,” Humphreys said, adding that authorities had to use allterrain vehicles to get to the site. Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said the news was devastating for the small community near Charleston. “It’s a very sad day for the Sissonville area and for these families,” he said. “This is a small community, and most of us know directly members of these families. We’re keeping them in our hearts and prayers.” Shain, nicknamed “Gandee Candy” by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of a group of young friends enjoying a wild country lifestyle. It was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston. MTV issued a statement saying it was shocked and saddened to learn of its star’s death. “We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends,” the network said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly.” A neighbor, Swanna Frampton, said she had known Shain Gandee since he was a small child. “He loved to live and have fun. He was a great person,” Frampton said. “He did what (the show) wanted him to do, but he wasn’t like that. He was a real person. If you needed help, if needed something, he would come help you no matter what.” Shooting for the second season of “BUCKWILD” had begun, but MTV spokesman Jake Urbanski said Monday afternoon it has been suspended. He had no further details. MTV said the half-hour series in the old “Jersey Shore” time slot was pulling in an average of 3 million viewers per episode since its premiere and was the No. 1 original cable series on Thursday nights among 12- to 34-year-olds. Shain Gandee is the third BUCKWILD cast member to make headlines. Last week, 24-year-old Salwa Amin was sent back to jail for violating the terms of her bond following a February arrest. She was charged with two counts of drug possession with intent to deliver and initially jailed on $200,000 bond. That was later reduced to $100,000, but Amin remained behind bars without bond on Monday. State Police say a multi-agency task force arrested Amin and two other people at a Summersville residence after receiving a tip from an informant. A search found oxycodone pills, heroin and $3,000 in cash. Another cast mate, Michael Douglas Burford, was charged in February with driving under the influence. Urbanski said none of Gandee’s cast mates was available to do an interview Monday, and none immediately planned to issue a statement. But their feelings came through on Twitter, where Ashley Whitt called her friend “the most amazing person I’ve ever known.” “I know you will be watching over me every time I hit a mudhole. You will always be my best friend, I love you!” she wrote. Cast mate Cara Parrish and others asked fans to pray for Gandee’s parents, Loretta and Dale. “This is the emptiest I’ve ever felt,” she wrote in a tweet. Charges possible for Oklahoma dentist TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The head of Oklahoma’s dental board said Monday her office wants prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against a Tulsa oral surgeon at the center of a public health scare involving at least 7,000 of his patients. Susan Rogers, the executive director of the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry, told The Associated Press that she met with Tulsa County District Attorney Tim Harris on Monday to discuss whether Dr. W. Scott Harrington is criminally liable. The 17-count complaint filed last week by Rogers’ office called Harrington a “menace to the public health.” The complaint also said officials found rusty instruments, potentially contaminated drug vials and improper use of a machine designed to sterilize tools. Harrington and his staff could face at least two felony charges, Rogers said, including practicing dentistry without a license and aiding or abetting another person who is violating the state’s dental act. Rogers said each of those crimes carries a prison term of up to four years and a $10,000 fine. “I did speak to the DA this morning and I’ve talked to other officials, and I can’t comment on those conversations, but there’s more to come,” Rogers told AP. A spokeswoman at the district attorney’s office could not comment Monday because prosecutors haven’t received any paperwork from the dentistry board. A message left Monday morning with Harrington’s attorney in Tulsa was not immediately returned. Harrington had been a dentist for 36 years before voluntarily giving up his license March 20. He faces an April 19 hearing at which he could have his certification revoked. Inspectors said they found unsafe practices at Harrington’s Tulsa-area clinics and letters were sent to 7,000 patients, urging them to be screened for hepatitis B and C and the virus that causes AIDS. According to the Oklahoma Dentistry Board’s complaint, Harrington’s practice had varying cleaning procedures for its equipment, needles were re-inserted in drug vials after their initial use, drug vials were used on multiple patients and the office had no written infection-protection procedure. Also, dental assistants performed some tasks reserved to a licensed dentist, such as administering IV sedation. A device used to sterilize equipment hadn’t undergone required monthly tests in at least six years. “When this started, I had no idea it was going to be this bad or this broad,” Rogers said Monday. “This one scared me.” More than 400 people lined up outside a Tulsa health clinic on Saturday to get tested, and dozens more did so Monday morning, a health department spokeswoman said. Letters urging patients to get tested should arrive no later than about two weeks, Kaitlin Snider, spokeswoman for the Tulsa Health Department, said. Those tested should receive their results within two weeks, she said Monday. “We are here for the long haul,” Snider said. “We know we can’t screen 7,000 patients in a day or even in a week.” Plant From Page 1 Ohio. Only a trucking facility on the property remains to be sold at the long-time Bob Evans campus. A plot of land on Obetz Road behind the company’s adjacent Bob Evans restaurant at 3800 South High Street in Columbus was recently sold to A+ Children’s Academy, which plans to expand its educational facilities. The food production facilities sold to New Mill Capital are located in Springfield and Bidwell, Ohio. In May 2012, the company announced plans for the consolidation of its Foods business and stated its intent to close the Bidwell and Springfield plants in late 2013. The 43,700-square-foot Bidwell plant sits on 7.8 acres and manufactures cooked sausage patties and links. The 38,200-square-foot Springfield plant sits on 10.7 acres and manufactures sausage, soups and gravies. Bob Evans will lease the plants from New Mill until a final closing date is announced in late 2013. “It is our intention that our headquarters and two plants will remain thriving entities in their respective communities,” said Joe Eulberg, the Bob Evans executive responsible for the campus initiative. “We believe that New Mill Capital will be a strategic and solid partner, investing in these communities and properties to realize their full future potential.” “New Mill Capital has a vast amount of experience repurposing properties such as the ones we have purchased from Bob Evans,” says Gregory Schain, executive vice president for New Mill Capital. “We are investing in these properties because we are bullish on the economic outlook in these areas and the potential these properties hold for future tenancy. We are committed to investing the resources necessary to make these properties as functional as possible for modern use and look forward to working with local civic and business leaders to once again make these properties economic engines in their respective communities.” In June 2012, Bob Evans sold its 3700 South High Street building in Columbus to the growing online school, the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT), and outparcels along South High to former lessees. Prior to announcing the move to New Albany, there were ap- proximately 700 jobs on the Bob Evans campus. Now, based on plans and projections by the new owners, including New Mill, ECOT and A+ Children’s Academy, it is anticipated that there may be as many as 900 jobs overall at the site, which is in line with Bob Evans’ goal to maintain or increase employment opportunities following its move. “We’re pleased to have secured a bright future for the South High Street campus, making good on our promise to ‘leave with the lights on’, and ensuring growth potential for the neighborhood we have called home for decades,” said Eulberg. �The Daily Sentinel Sports TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Tornadoes sweep South Webster in DH opener Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com SOUTH WEBSTER, Ohio — Keeping a good thing going. The Southern baseball team extended its regular season winning streak to 27 straight games Saturday afternoon following a doubleheader sweep of host South Webster in a non-conference matchup in Scioto County. The Tornadoes (2-0) rallied to win the opener by a 6-3 margin, then never trailed in the night cap for a 7-2 triumph — which kept a two-plus season winning streak intact. Southern last lost a regular season contest back on May 7, 2011, following a 7-4 setback to Meigs in Rocksprings. SHS trailed the Jeeps 3-0 after three innings of play, but the guests rallied with a run in the top of the sixth to close their deficit down to two runs through six complete. The Tornadoes followed with a five-run explosion in the top of the seventh, which ultimately led to the 26th straight win for the program. Southern outhit the Jeeps (02) by a small 5-4 margin and committed three errors in the contest, compared to just one mistake by the hosts. Chandler Drummer was the winning pitcher of record for SHS. Brandon Moodispaugh led the guests with two hits, followed by Danny Ramthun, Colten Walters and Cole Graham with one safety apiece. Walters and Ramthun each drove in two RBIs in the season-opening victory. After two scoreless frames in the night cap, SHS plated three runs in the top of the third to establish a 3-0 edge. SWHS countered with a run in the fourth to cut its deficit down to two, but a four-run top of the sixth gave the Tornadoes their biggest lead of the day at 7-1. South Webster managed to score a run in its final at-bat, but ultimately ran out of time in its late rally bid — allowing Southern to secure its 27th consecu- tive regular season victory. The Tornadoes outhit the Jeeps by a 5-4 margin and went error-free in the finale, while South Webster committed three miscues in the second matchup. Adam Pape was the winning pitcher of record after fanning 13 in the complete-game decision. Danny Ramthun led the offense with two hits, while Trenton Cook, Colten Walters and Cole Graham added one safety apiece. Walters led the way with two RBIs.

Point outlasts Generals, 11-10 Rio Grande cruises to sweep of WVU Tech Submitted photo | URG Athletics Rio Grande freshman Ariel Roder is mobbed by her teammates at home plate after hitting a sixth inning grand slam home run in the opening game of Saturday’s doubleheader against WVU Tech at Rio Softball Park. The RedStorm earned a sweep of the Golden Bears by scores of 6-0 and 10-0. Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com Randy Payton POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It’s not always how you start but rather how you finish. Despite marking just three runs in the opening five frames the Point Pleasant baseball team took an 11-10 victory over visiting Winfield Friday night in Mason County. The Generals fired the opening salvo, as Brandon Wright scored on a John Bellomy sacrifice fly in the top of the first. The Big Blacks answered back in the bottom of the first after Tylun Campbell drove in Alex Somerville with a single. Winfield’s Josh Bumgarner broke the tie with a two-out three-run homerun in the top of the second. Big Blacks Bruce McDermitt and Austen Toler crossed the plate in the bottom of the second inning to cut the Generals lead to one. WHS scored a trio of two-out runs to expand its lead to 7-3, but left a pair of runners in scoring position. Neither team managed to get a run across until the top of the fifth when Winfield’s Bumgarner drove in Casey Frye for his fourth RBI of the game. Point Pleasant sent the top of the order to the plate in the bottom of the fifth but failed to get on the scoreboard. The Generals’ nine hitter, Jonah Sneeringer, drove in Chad Melton with a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth, expanding their lead to 9-3. The Big Blacks struck gold in the bottom of the sixth pairing four hits with three walks to plate six runs and tie the game at nine apiece. Winfield’s Jordan Clark scored on an error, putting his club up one run headed into the bottom of the seventh. Gage Buskirk got on base via fielder’s choice and came around to score on an error, knotting the game up at 10.

Rio Grande, which has now won 13 of its last 14 contests, improved to 14-7 with the wins. WVU-Tech dropped to 8-10 with the two losses. Hayslip’s game-ending homer in the nightcap was the first of her collegiate career and it capped a perfect 3-for-3 game for the Clarksville, Ohio sophomore, who also had a triple and a double. Rio Grande scored in four of its five at bats and banged out 13 hits in the win, including two each by seniors Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH) and Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH) and freshman Kimber Hazlett (Utica, OH). Both of Hazlett’s hits were doubles and she also drove in two runs. Sophomore Haley Gwin (Troy, OH) went the distance to earn her second win in as many decisions. She scattered six hits and a walk en route to the shutout victory. Sophomore Jessi Robinson (Wilmington, OH) and Roder, a freshman from Parma Heights, Ohio, had run-scoring singles in the first inning for the RedStorm, but it was a four-run third inning uprising that blew the game open. Gwin had an RBI single, Hazlett had a two-run double and senior Jaymie Rector (Heath, OH), who was running for Hazlett later scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-0. Fuller drove home another run with a fourth inning single and the RedStorm finished off the win in the fifth. Hazlett hit Tech reliever Taylor Norman’s first pitch down the left field line for a double, freshman Jordan Jenkins (Portsmouth, OH) followed with a bunt single – the first hit of her collegiate career – and Hayslip launched a 1-0 pitch over the fence in left-center to give Rio the mercy rule-shortened win. Genna Trippett had two of WVU Tech’s six hits, while starter Jacki Wood suffered her fifth loss in eight decisions. The left-hander allowed seven hits and six runs in 2-1/3 innings of work in the circle. Game one was a much closer affair – at least until late. Rio Grande scored single runs in the third and fourth inning after the Golden Bears had left the bases loaded without scoring in both the second and third innings, and received some needed breathing room in the sixth with Roder’s grand slam. Fuller had a run-scoring hit in the third and freshman Mattie Lanham (Rio Grande, OH) singled home Hayslip, who had reached on a two-out triple in the fourth, to make it 2-0. The Rio Grande sixth inning started harmlessly enough for Tech starter Bridgett Goss, who retired Hayslip on a flyout to leftcenter and Lanham on strikes before singles by Walk and Robinson and a walk to Fuller loaded the bases. Roder then hit a towering drive down the left field line which cleared the fence for her second homer of the season and a 6-0 cushion. Hazlett was solid in the circle for the RedStorm, improving to 9-5 by allowing six hits and a walk en route to her fourth shutout of the season. The reigning Mid-South Conference Pitcher of the Week also finished with five strikeouts. Robinson finished 3-for-4 in the victory, while Walk, Hazlett and Lanham all had two hits each. Katie Campbell had half of WVU Tech’s six hits. Goss (5-5) walked three and fanned four in addition to allowing the 12 hits and six runs. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday when the University of Virginia’s College at Wise visits for a 2 p.m. doubleheader. Lady Raiders sweep Symmes Valley in DH opener Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com WILLOW WOOD, Ohio — Double the pleasure, double the fun. The River Valley softball team doubled up host Symmes Valley in a pair of doubleheader victories Saturday afternoon, as the Lady Raiders posted non-conference wins of 2-1 and 10-5 in the season opener for both teams in Lawrence County. The Lady Raiders (2-0) received a pair of pitching gems from Noel Mershon, who fanned 20 Lady Vikings (0-2) in the twin-bill sweep. Mershon allowed six hits and two walks in the opener while striking out 14, then gave up only one walk and four hits while fanning six in the nightcap decision. RVHS took an early 1-0 edge in the top of the second, then extended its lead to 2-0 in the top of the seventh. SVHS managed a run in the bottom of the seventh to pull within 2-1, but ultimately came up short in its rally attempt. Mershon, Chelsea Copley, Alexis Hurt and Ashley Cheesebrew each had a hit for the victors, while Hannah Roach and Kaitlyn Payne had two safeties each for the hosts. Stephanie Brown was the losing pitcher of record for Symmes Valley after surrendering four hits and zero walks over seven innings while striking out five. RVHS jumped out to a 3-2 lead after one inning of play in the nightcap, but SVHS rallied with a run in the third to knot things up at three all. The Lady Raiders tacked on a run in the fourth and added two mord in the fifth to take a 6-3 edge, but the hosts countered with a score for a 6-4 deficit through five complete. River Valley erupted for four scores in its half of the seventh to claim a 10-4 cushion, and SVHS managed only one run in its final at-bat — allowing the guests to secure the five-run triumph. RVHS had seven hits in the second contest, with Ashley Cheesebrew leading the way with two hits and four RBIs — including a three-run homer in the first. Libby Leach also had two safeties for the guests, while Alexis Hurt, Katie Mares and Bethany Gilbert also had a hit apiece in the finale. Stephanie Brown had half of Symmes Valley’s four hits, and Kaitlyn Payne took the losing decision after allowing seven hits and six walks over seven frames while striking out 12. Mershon allowed only one walk and four hits in her second straight winning decision. �Tuesday, April 2, 2013 Professional Services ANNOUNCEMENTS LEGALS PROBATE COURT OF MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO L.

The Point Pleasant softball team broke out the proverbial whooping sticks Saturday afternoon during wins of 14-0 and 10-2 over host Liberty Raleigh in a non-conference doubleheader held in Raleigh County. The Lady Knights (3-2) snapped a two-game losing skid in style, as the guests pounded out 24 runs and 30 hits in nine innings at the plate. PPHS outhit the Lady Raiders 17-1 in the opening contest, then claimed a 13-5 edge in safeties during the night cap. Point Pleasant received a gem from starter Madison Barker in the opening contest, as the sophomore allowed just one hit and two walks over five innings while striking out eight.

URG baseball rallies late to avoid DH series sweep OSU turned season Randy Payton Special to OVP ST. CATHARINE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande baseball team rallied to score in each of its final three at bats in game two and post a 5-3 win over St. Catharine College, salvaging a split of their Mid-South Conference doubleheader and avoiding a series sweep at the hands of the Patriots, Saturday afternoon, at Edelen-Haydon Field. St. Catharine, which opened the series with a one-run win over the RedStorm on Friday, recorded a 9-5 triumph in Saturday’s opener. The twinbill split leaves Rio Grande at 1916 overall and 7-10 in the MSC, while the Patriots moved to 26-11 overall and 7-5 inside the conference. Rio Grande trailed 3-1 going to the fifth inning of the seven-inning series finale, but pushed across one run in the fifth, two runs in the sixth and an insurance marker in the seventh to get the win. The rally began in the fifth when senior Kyle Perez (Casselberry, FL) reached on a leadoff single before moving to second when sophomore Grant Tamane’s (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) grounder to shortstop was errored and stealing third. One out later, Perez scored when senior Vince Perry bounced into a fielder’s choice. In the sixth, freshman Kirk Yates (Chillicothe, OH) opened the inning with an infield single to shortstop and advanced all the way to third as a result of a throwing error. After senior Zach Dumler (Vandalia, OH) walked and sophomore Ethan Abell (Mount Vernon, OH) came on to run, St. Catharine reliever Trenton Claunch came on to replace starter Andrew Nelson and promptly sandwiched a pair of wild pitch around a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Tyler Donaldson (Dayton, OH) to give the RedStorm a 4-3 lead. Yates added a sacrifice fly in the seventh to give Rio a two-run lead and freshman reliever Kyle Miller (Wilmington, OH) survived a pair of SCC baserunners in the home seventh by coaxing Adrian Garcia – who represented the winning run – into a game-ending fly to right. Rio Grande took a 1-0 lead against Nelson in the third on a run-scoring hit by Tamane, but the Patriots scored twice in the bottom half of the inning against Rio sophomore starter Anthony Bond (New Haven, WV) on a solo home run by Josh Whitmer and an RBI single by Jeremy Turpin. The St. Catharine lead grew to 3-1 in the fourth when a sacrifice fly by Joey Andrada plated Joey Xavier, who began the inning with a hit before moving to third on a walk to Whitmer and a passed ball. Perez and senior Shane Spies (Polk, OH) had two hits each in the win for Rio Grande. Miller improved his record to 4-1, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five over 2-1/3 scoreless innings. Turpin, Xavier and K.C. Mejia all had two hits in the loss for the Patriots, while Nelson suffered his first loss in three decisions on the mound. In the opening game of the double-dip, St. Catharine jumped to a 5-2 lead after two innings and cruised to an easy win. Tyler Mischel, Garcia and Xavier all had RBI singles and Trevor Schneider had a run-scoring double in the Patriots’ four-run first inning against Rio junior starter Mike Deitsch (Cincinnati, OH), erasing an early 2-0 lead for the RedStorm. Xavier was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the second to make it 5-2 before Andrada and Carlos Hernandez added RBI singles in the fifth to push the hosts’ advantage to 7-2. The RedStorm got a solo home run from Perez and an RBI single by Ford in the eighth to close the gap to 7-4, but the Patriots countered with a tworun homer by Xavier in the bottom of the frame to regain the five-run cushion. Perez added an RBI single in the ninth to set the final score. SCC starter Dylan Shoffner improved to 5-1, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out 14 over seven innings. Mischel finished with three hits for the Patriots, while Hernandez, Garcia, Xavier and Schneider all had two hits. Xavier also finished with four RBIs. Perez and Ford had two hits and two RBIs each for Rio, while Deitsch suffered his fourth loss in seven decisions after allowing 10 hits and seven runs in just four innings. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday, hosting Ohio Christian University for a doubleheader at Gallia Academy High School’s Bob Eastman Field. Both games will be seven-inning contests, with first pitch for game one slated at 11 a.m. around before disappointing end COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The sting of getting ousted from the NCAA tournament hadn’t gone away, not yet. Moments after Wichita State took advantage of Ohio State’s frigid shooting for a 70-66 victory on Saturday in the West regional championship game in Los Angeles, Buckeyes point guard Aaron Craft was still trying to fathom what went wrong after a season in which so much had gone right. “This team is great,” the junior said. “We did a lot of great things this year. It’s just very unfortunate that it’s got to come to an end now. But hopefully sometime down the road we can look back and appreciate what we did.” Incredibly, six weeks ago Ohio State’s fans were wondering whether the Buckeyes could finish in the top five in the Big Ten, much less come so close to joining the Final Four in the country. On Feb. 17, just six weeks ago, the Buckeyes were shellacked at Wisconsin 71-49, a lopsided defeat which dropped them out of the conference race. Yet they closed with a flourish, winning their final five regular-season games to come within a last-second shot that spun off the rim (by Michigan at home against Big Ten champion Indiana) of tying for the conference title. After that, the Buckeyes rolled through three games at the Big Ten tournament at United Center in Chicago to capture their third championship in four years. They coasted through a second-round win over Iona in the NCAA tournament, then won heartpounding, last-second victories over Iowa State and Arizona in their next two games on 3-pointers by Craft and LaQuinton Ross to get into the West Regional final against Wichita State. The Shockers, however, built a 20-point lead as the Buckeyes had trouble making any shots. A late rally came up just short. Point From Page 6 single, driving in Somerville and giving the Big Blacks their first walk-off victory of the season. Buskirk earned the victory for PPHS after pitching the final two frames, in which he gave up two runs, one earned, on three hits and a walk. Nick Templeton pitched the opening 2.2 innings and gave up seven earned runs on five hits and five walks. Caleb Beckner threw 2.1 innings in relief and he allowed one earned run on a pair of hits. Beckner and Templeton each struck out one batter but Beckner hit a trio of batters, while Templeton hit two. Bumgarner was credited with the loss after throwing the final frame in which he gave up a pair of earned runs on two hits and a walk. Zachary Strong started the game for Winfield but was pulled after facing just two batters and giving up one earned run on a hit and a walk. Dana Harper pitched four innings in relief and gave up two unearned runs on four hits and a walk. Bryan Bosley also worked in relief for the Generals, as he threw two innings and gave up six earned runs on four hits and four walks. Harper struck out a pair of batters for WHS, while Bumgarner fanned one. Harper hit one batter in the game. Campbell led the victors with four base-hits in the game, followed by Buskirk with a pair of base-hits. Somerville, Levi Russell, McDermitt, Austen Toler and Matt Richardson each finished with one hit in the game. All 11 of Point Pleasant’s hits were singles. Campbell finished with a team-high four runs batted in, followed by Russell, McDermitt and Richardson with one apiece. Somerville crossed the plate Entertainment three times to pace PPHS, followed by Toler and Buskirk with two runs scored each. Campbell, Jacob Gardner, Levi Doolittle and Josh Hudson each tallied one run in the victory. Somerville’s three stolen bases led all runners, while Campbell and Buskirk each swiped one base. Bumgarner led Winfield with three hits followed by Derek Whiteside and Sneeringer with two each. Brandon Wright, Tanner Bailey and Chad Melton each had one hit in the loss. While Jordan Clark didn’t have a hit in the contest he did reach base in all five plate appearances, three times via base on balls, twice via hit by pitch. Bumgarner drove in four runs to lead WHS, followed by Sneeringer with two and Bellomy with one. Wright, Clark and Whiteside each crossed the plate twice, while Bumgarner, Sneeringer, Bailey and Bosley scored one run apiece. Wright and Bosley each stole one base. The Big Blacks finished with 11 runs, 11 hits, one error and seven runners left on base, while the Generals finished with 10 runs, 10 hits, three errors and 12 runners left on base. �Tuesday, April 2, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, april 2, 2013 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 2, 2013: This year you become a formidable opponent, and you’ll be determined to make your mark.

A new group of Fab Wolverines vs. the stingiest zone defense in college basketball. After a weekend of blowouts and another upset, the Final Four is set. Top overall seed Louisville will face Wichita State at the Georgia Dome next Saturday, while Michigan takes on Syracuse in the other national semifinal. The winners advance to the April 8 championship. On Sunday, the Cardinals drew inspiration from a gruesome injury to guard Kevin Ware and cruised past Duke 85-63 in the Midwest Regional. Michigan led from the opening tip, routing Florida 79-59 in the South. A day earlier, Syracuse shut down Marquette 5539 to win the East. Wichita State punched its Final Four ticket with a 70-66 upset of Ohio State out West. In the final year of the Big East before it splits into two new conferences, Louisville and Syracuse provided a fitting send-off to a league that quickly became a basketball powerhouse after it was founded in 1979. Before it goes, this version of the Big East has a shot at one more national title. With two teams, no less. The Cardinals — who, like Syracuse, are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference — were the only No. 1 seed to make it to the Final Four. And, boy, it’s been an impressive run. Louisville (33-5) has won its four NCAA games by an average margin of nearly 22 points, capped by a second-half blowout of Duke after the Cardinals shook off the incredible shock of Ware’s injury with about 6½ minutes to go before halftime. “We won this for him,” coach Rick Pitino said. The sophomore snapped his lower right leg after coming down awkwardly while defending a 3-point shot. The injury occurred right in front of the Louisville bench, where the players gasped and turned away quickly at the sight of Ware’s dangling leg, which was broken in two places. Russ Smith collapsed onto the floor, along with several players, and was crying as doctors attended to Ware. While Ware was loaded onto a stretcher, the Cardinals gathered at midcourt until Pitino called them over, saying the injured player wanted to talk to them before he left. The sophomore, who played his high school ball in suburban Atlanta, urged his teammates to complete the trip to the Georgia Dome. Pitino wiped his eyes as Ware was wheeled out, as did several Louisville players. “All he kept saying — and remember, the bone is 6 inches out of his leg — all he’s yelling is, ‘Win the game! Win the game!’” Pitino said. “I’ve never seen that in my life. We’re all distraught and all he’s saying is, ‘Win the game.’ Kevin is a special young man.” This is a special team. Smith scored 23 points. Gorgui Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. The Cardinals simply refused to lose, breaking open a game that was tied at 42. They dove on the floor for loose balls. They pounded the boards ferociously. They contested every shot and swarmed around the Blue Devils like they had an extra player on the court. In a sense, they did. During every timeout, Pitino reminded the players of their hospitalized teammate. “This is a gritty bunch,” the coach said. “From the beginning of the year to now, they’ve not had a bad game. I’m really proud of these guys.” While the Cardinals are the clear favorite heading to their second straight Final Four, Wichita State was the most improbable team to advance. The ninth-seeded Shockers lived up to their nickname in the West, knocking off top-seeded Gonzaga in the second round and No. 2 seed Ohio State in the regional final Saturday night. Wichita State (30-8) built a 20-point lead on the Buckeyes, then managed to hang on through a nerve-racking final five minutes to pull off the latest upset in a tournament filled with them. The Shockers will need an even bigger stunner to knock off Louisville, the one team in a wideopen tournament that has looked unbeatable. Then again, that other team from Kansas has shown no fear so far. “It feels very good,” said Cleanthony Early, a junior forward who, like most guys on this team, was passed over by higher-profile programs, “but we understand the fact that we’ve got to stay hungry and humble, because we’ve got two more games left to really be excited about.” Michigan (30-7) is headed back to the Final Four for the first time since the Fab Five era of the early 1990s, when the Wolverines lost in back-to-back national title games. This team has much the same feel, led by sophomore Trey Burke, the Big Ten player of the year, and three freshmen starters. They were downright fabulous against Florida on Sunday, never seriously threatened after scoring the first 13 points. “A lot of guys said we were really young and that we couldn’t get here,” said Burke, who scored 15 points against Florida but really came through in Jaime Green | Wichita Eagle | MCT photo Wichita State’s Carl Hall (22) cheers in the final minutes of a 70-66 win against Ohio State in the West Region Final of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, March 29, 2013, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. an improbable comeback against top-seeded Kansas in the regional semifinals. “We’re here now and we still have unfinished business.” One of the freshmen, Nik Stauskas, hit all six of his 3-pointers and scored 22 points to lead the fourthseeded Wolverines past the third-seeded Gators. Another of the youngsters, 6-foot-10 Mitch McGary, chipped in with 11 points and nine rebounds. Florida became the first team to make it to three straight regional finals without winning any of them, according to STATS. The Wolverines will have their work cut out against Syracuse (30-9), a team that has totally stuffed its NCAA opponents with a stifling zone defense. The Orange are headed to their first Final Four since winning it all in 2003 largely because they have allowed fewer than 46 points a game in the tournament. Syracuse has been like an octopus when it settles in around the its own lane — shutting off passing routes, preventing anyone from penetrating, yet still managing to defend the 3-point line with quickness and long arms. Montana, California, top-seeded Indiana and Marquette combined to make just under 29 percent from the field (61 of 211) and a paltry 15.4 percent (14 of 91) outside the arc. “We were as active these two games here in Washington as we’ve ever been,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said after Saturday’s win over league rival Marquette, which is headed to a new version of the Big East next season. “I just really can’t say enough about how good these guys played on the defensive end of the court.” fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
