Thompson, 65 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 106 Meigs summer meal program in progress Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — While the summer feeding program for disadvantaged children being administered through the Meigs Local School District is going well with 362 children currently enrolled, Chrissy Musser, the district’s food service director, says “there is space for 288 more qualified participants.” The program is geared to provide free food for a 10-week period to 650 children who do not have easy access to other traditional summer feeding programs, such as those sponsored by the Meigs County Council on Aging which has sites around the county where children can come and eat lunch on a daily basis. Musser said the only qualifications to participate in the summer feeding program is that a child in the family must attend school in the Meigs Local School District or be in a Headstart program and must be on free or reduced lunches. Once a child in a household is qualified, all other children in that home between the ages of one and 18 years of age are automatically approved in the family food allotments. “Feedback from participating families has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Musser of the innovative summer meal delivery program funded through the Governor’s Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives. Musser said that the food boxes consist of items such as tortilla chips/cheese, raisins, juice, and shelf stable milk, cereal, pasta, and a variety of other items. Eight locations in the school district are designated as pickup points for the deliveries made on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The pickup points are all on parking lots. Schedules for weekly deliveries are as follows: Wednesday — 9 to 10 a.m. Hope Baptist Church, Grant Street; 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Meigs Primary School, parking lot on K-2 side; 1 to 2:30 p.m. Pick and Shovel Convenience Store, Salem Center, and 3 to 4:30 p.m. House of Healing Church, Langsville. Thursday — 9 to 10:30 a.m. Nazarene Church, corner of Mulberry and Union in Pomeroy; 11:15 a.m.to 12:45 p.m. Harrisonville Fire Department off of SR 684; 1:15 to 2:45, Whaley’s Grocery SR 681, and 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. Meigs High School parking lot in front of the new football stadium. Enrollment forms were provided to the families of all 1,230 students on the free/reduced lunch program before the school year ended. However, Musser said that new families are being signed up on a daily basis. She can be reached at (740) 992-6171. Summer celebration set for Saturday Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com A candlelight vigil in memory of those lost to drug addiction and in honor of those in recovery was held on Saturday. Recovery through educating others Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Picking up the paper, watching the news, or just walking down the street, it becomes painfully obvious that a drug problem exists in many communities — including our own. It seems not a week goes by where there is not an article written about an arrest, conviction or sentencing in a drug related case in Meigs County alone. While many are facing drug addiction personally Teal balloons — the color of recovery — were released or have someone close to them who is, many others with messages of hope attached on Saturday evening. are left to wonder why or what can be done? Last week a new group called Recovering Addicts Community Educators (R.A.C.E.) held two events geared toward the understanding of addiction and what can be done to help those in recovery or trying to attain recovery. R.A.C.E. was founded about three months ago with six members and today has 21 members. The group is made up of recovering drug addicts who want to help others in the community. R.A.C.E., according to the group’s Facebook page is, “a group of recovering addicts that now wish to help our community become aware of the drug problem in our area, and want to work on prevention, and education for our community so as to let them know healthy ways to cope with drug Michael Roush, a R.A.C.E. member spoke about recovery See RECOVERY ‌| 5 and his past addiction during Saturday’s event.

(AP) — A hitchhiker who falsely claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting received a four-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay more than $7,500 in fines and restitution by a Montana judge, authorities said Tuesday. The case of Ray Dolin, a struggling photographer from West Virginia, garnered international attention last year after he shot himself in the arm along a rural highway, then concocted a story about a random drive-by shooting as he was stopped for lunch. Dolin stuck with his tale even after 113 West 2nd Street Pomeroy, OH 45769 Tel: 740-992-5479 Fax: 740-992-6911 warnerj1@nationwide.com 60431197 month suspended sentence on the misdemeanor charges, and was ordered to pay $2,000 in fines and $5,583 in restitution to the Valley County Sheriff’s Office. He also must continue receiving mental health treatment as a condition of sentencing. He’s now living in Michigan, Murnion said, and could not be reached immediately for comment. “He’s been doing very well, very cooperative with those (mental health) services,” Murnion said. After Dolin shot himself last June, Lloyd Christopher Danielson III was arrested about 100 miles away and charged with felony assault, based on Dolin’s description of his alleged shooter driving a maroon pickup. Danielson had been passing through Montana for work in the nearby Bakken oil patch and was later cleared of the shooting when Dolin’s story started to unravel. He ended up spending 13 days in jail on a drunken driving charge because he was intoxicated when he was first arrested. Five days after the shooting, while being at a Veterans Administration Hospital, Dolin was confronted by investigators and admitted to shooting himself. He said that he should have come forward with the truth sooner, but was ashamed that he’d tried to kill himself and failed. Valley County authorities alleged a more calculated motive: They said Dolin shot himself in an attempt to gain publicity for a photographic memoir on kindness that he claimed to be working on. “His story is that it was a suicide attempt from depression. There’s other theories about what went on there, but at this point, it doesn’t matter what his motivation was,” Murnion said Tuesday. During his sentencing, Dolin asked for the return of a notebook he kept as a personal journal that was taken by authorities when he was arrested. Murnion said the notebook was returned. �Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Investigators to examine why Ariz. blaze killed 19 Forche, DDS, joins Holzer Health System GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Health System announced this week that Amanda Forche, DDS has joined their team of highly skilled professionals.

NATO supplier’s compound attacked in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide truck bomber followed by heavily armed men stormed a NATO supplier’s compound Tuesday in Kabul, prompting a gunbattle that left a dozen people dead in the latest Taliban attack on a high-profile target in the Afghan capital. The bold strikes have signaled the Islamic militant movement has no plans to suspend its campaign of violence even though they have agreed to embark on a U.S.-led peace process. The violence began before dawn when the bomber drove a small truck packed with explosives to the outer gate of the logistics center used to supply NATO troops and detonated it, said Kabul provincial police chief Mohammad Ayoub Salangi. The explosion left a huge crater in the ground and damaged a guard tower. Two truck drivers waiting to enter the compound were killed in the blast along with the bomber, he said. Then four gunmen stormed into the breach and battled with security guards and an Afghan police special response team for about an hour. The attackers were all killed, along with one Afghan and four Nepalese security guards, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. The British government confirmed that a U.K. national had been killed in the attack, but it could not say whether the victim was one of the truck drivers or a security guard or contractor. The Taliban opened a political office in the Qatari capital of Doha last month, indicating they were prepared to enter into Afghan peace talks, an effort that has taken on added urgency as the U.S. and its allies prepare to withdraw combat forces by the end of next year. But the movement did not renounce violence. “This (attack) has no link to the peace process,” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press in a telephone call, promising that attacks “will continue all over the country occupied by the foreigners.” Mujahid also said only three militants were involved in the “attack on a big foreign base important for NATO logistics,” listing the assailants by name, according to a statement on the Taliban website. The Taliban have persisted with their campaign of violence since opening the Doha office on June 18. The next week, suicide attackers got past preliminary security checks and opened fire on guards at a gate to the presidential palace in the heart of Kabul. Heavily armed fighters also launched a failed assault on NATO’s operational headquarters at Kabul’s international airport and detonated a car bomb outside Afghanistan’s Supreme Court earlier that month. The U.N. deputy chief, Jan Eliasson, who was in Kabul wrapping up a fiveday trip to Afghanistan when Tuesday’s attack hit, said continued violence could only harm the Taliban’s own cause. “I would hope that there would be steps taken by the leadership of the Taliban to realize that the tool of violence in any case cannot instill confidence in the population,” he said. “There’s been too much suffering there, and there are too many widows, too many father-and-motherless children in Afghanistan.” The Taliban have refused to negotiate with President Hamid Karzai’s government in the past, saying the U.S. holds effective control in Afghanistan, but the Americans are hoping to bring the two sides together. The possibility of peace talks got off to a rocky start, however, after the Taliban opened the Doha office under the name “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” and the flag it used while ruling Afghanistan. Karzai and other Afghans reacted sharply to the move, saying that agreements had been violated and that the office was more akin to a rival embassy than a bureau for peace negotiations. The Taliban have since been forced to remove the offending flag and sign, but talks have yet to begin. Eliasson said the U.N. would be happy to help start the process, but only if requested by the Afghan government. Auto sales maintaining momentum DETROIT (AP) — U.S. buyers snapped up new cars and trucks in June at a pace not seen since before the recession. Continuing demand for big pickups helped boost sales for Detroit’s automakers. Ford said Tuesday that its sales rose 14 percent, while Chrysler’s gained 8 percent and General Motors’ rose 6.5 percent. Japanese automakers reported solid gains as well. Nissan’s sales jumped 13 percent, while Toyota’s and Honda’s each rose 10 percent. South Korea’s Hyundai reported a record June, with sales up 2 percent. Only Volkswagen’s sales dropped 3 percent, the third straight monthly decline for the German car company as some products like the Jetta start to age. Other automakers will report sales later Tuesday. Analysts say they don’t see much that could slow the sales momentum of the first six months. The factors that juiced sales — low interest rates, wider credit availability, rising home construction and hot new vehicles — are likely The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com to remain in place. So far, hiccups in the stock market, higher taxes and fluctuating gas prices haven’t dampened demand. “I think the fundamentals for continued growth in the new vehicle sales industry are intact,” Chrysler’s U.S. sales chief, Reid Bigland, said last week. Analyst estimate that U.S. auto sales rose 6 percent to 8 percent in June compared with the same month last year. The auto pricing site TrueCar.com predicts that dealers sold cars and trucks at an annualized rate of 15.7 million last month, the best rate since December 2007. Sales of pickups — which have been selling at a rate three times faster than the rest of the industry has — continued at a strong pace in June. Ford sold just over 68,000 F-Series trucks, up 24 percent from last June and its best June for trucks since 2005. GM said sales of the Chevrolet Silverado jumped 29 percent to 43,259, while Chrysler Group sold nearly 30,000 full-size Ram pickups, up 24 percent from last June. Small businesses have been replacing their aging trucks as home construction has picked up. Young graduates may have contributed to a rise in small car sales, said Kelley Blue Book analyst Alec Gutierrez. Gas prices, which averaged $3.60 a gallon nationwide in June and were higher than a year ago, may have steered some buyers to more fuelefficient models, he said. PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — Investigators from across the U.S. poured into the mountain town of Yarnell on Tuesday to figure out why 19 elite firefighters perished in an out-of-control wildfire and whether human error played a role in the tragedy. The monthslong investigation into the nation’s biggest loss of firefighters since 9/11 will look at whether the Hotshot crew paid attention to the forecast, created an escape route and took other precautions developed after a similar disaster in Colorado nearly two decades ago. The team of about 10 investigators from various agencies also will look at whether the crew should have been pulled out before the fire exploded. Within hours Sunday, violent wind gusts turned what was believed to be a relatively manageable lightning-ignited forest fire into a death trap that left no escape. In a desperate attempt at survival, the firefighters unfurled their foil-lined emergency shelters, but those offer only limited protection when in the direct path of a raging fire. The federal government overhauled its safety procedures following the deaths of 14 firefighters on Colorado’s Storm King Mountain in 1994. Investigators found numerous errors in the way the blaze was fought. “The reforms after Storm King were collectively intended to prevent that from happening again, which was mass entrapment of an entire Hotshot crew,” said Lloyd Burton, professor of environmental law and policy at the University of Colorado. “There are so many striking parallels between this tragedy and what happened on Storm King in 1994, it’s almost haunting.” Those changes included policies under which no firefighters should be deployed unless they have a safe place to retreat. They must also be continuously informed of changing weather. “If you don’t have those things in place, it’s not advisable to deploy a team in the first place, because you can’t guarantee their safety,” Burton said. The Hotshot team based in Prescott entered the smoky wilderness over the weekend with backpacks, chainsaws and other heavy gear to remove brush and trees and deprive the flames of fuel. But the blaze grew from 200 acres to about 2,000 in a matter of hours as “the wind kicked up to 40 to 50 mph gusts and it blew east, south, west — every which way,” said Prescott City Councilman Len Scamardo. “What limited information we have was there was a gust of wind from the north that blew the fire back and trapped them,” Scamardo said. With the investigation just beginning, it’s not clear what help water- or retardant-dropping aircraft could have pro- vided for the doomed crew. One contractor, Neptune Aviation Services, had three aerial tankers making drops on the fire earlier in the day. But at the time the firefighters died, the planes had been grounded because of treacherous conditions, said chief executive Ronald Hooper. “It wasn’t safe for them to be in the air at that time,” Hooper said. There were “severe winds, erratic winds and thunderstorms in the area.” However, government dispatch logs show at least two other planes were flying over the fire at the time, one large tanker and one small one. There was also at least one firefighting helicopter in the air early Sunday afternoon. Dick Mangan, a retired U.S. Forest Service safety official and consultant, said it is too early to say if the crew or those managing the fire made mistakes. “The fact that they’re dead and that they had to deploy fire shelters tells us that something was seriously wrong,” Mangan said. But then again, he said, they may have been doing everything right, and “this just might have been a weather anomaly that nobody saw coming that happened too quickly to respond to.” He said the crew members may have taken too many risks because they were on familiar ground and were trying to protect a community they knew well. “When you’ve got especially structures and residences involved, and you’ve got local resources, there’s a fair amount of social and political pressure, some of it selfgenerated by the firefighters, who want to do a good job,” Mangan said. “They don’t want to see a community burn down. They want to get in there.” A team of fire officials drawn from across the country by Atlanta NIMO, or National Incident Management Organization, arrived in the area Tuesday to find out exactly what went wrong. They plan to make their way into the charred fire scene and issue a preliminary report in the coming days, said Mary Rasmussen, a spokeswoman for the Southwest Area Incident Management Team. On Tuesday, about 500 firefighters battled the mountain blaze, which had burned about 13 square miles. Yavapai County authorities said about 200 homes and other structures burned in Yarnell, and hundreds of people have been evacuated. Wind even more powerful than the gusts that hit Sunday were forecast for Tuesday and could reach 80 mph, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Wallmann. No part of the fire had been contained, and thunderstorms that could bring little rain and lots of lightning remained a major threat, said Karen Takai, a spokeswoman for the firefighting effort. Takai said the firefighters know how to stay focused on their task, even while battling their grief. “You got to get back on track, and they know that,” Takai said. Drug overdose deaths spike among middle-aged women ATLANTA (AP) — Overdose deaths in the U.S. are rising fastest among middle-aged women, and their drug of choice is usually prescription painkillers, the government reported Tuesday. “Mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are dying at rates that we have never seen before,” said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which compiled the data. The female overdose problem is one of the few health issues the CDC is working on that are clearly getting worse, he added. For many decades, the overwhelming majority of U.S. overdose deaths were men killed by heroin or cocaine. But by 2010, 40 percent were women — most of them middle-aged women who took prescription painkillers. Skyrocketing female overdose death rates are closely tied to a boom in the overall use of prescribed painkillers. The new report is the CDC’s first to spotlight how the death trend has been more dramatic among women. The CDC found that the number and rate of prescription painkiller overdose deaths among females increased about fivefold 1999 to 2010. Among men, such deaths rose about 3½ times. Overall, more men still die from overdoses of painkillers and other drugs; there were about 23,000 such deaths in 2010, compared with about 15,300 for women. Men tend to take more risks with drugs than women, and often are more prone to the kind of workplace injuries that lead to their being prescribed painkillers in the first place, experts say. But the gap has been narrowing dramatically. Studies suggest that women are more likely to have chronic pain, to be prescribed higher doses, and to use pain drugs longer than men. Some research suggests women may be more likely than men to “doctor shop” and get pain pills from several physicians, CDC officials said.

A tidal gauge operating since before the Civil War has documented a sea level rise of 9 inches in the last century, and officials expect that to double over the next 50 years. So when building a new Stock Island fire station, county authorities went ahead added a foot and a half over federal flood planning directives that the ground floor be built up 9 feet. Seasonal tidal flooding that was once a rare inconvenience is now so predictable that some businesses at the end of Key West’s famed Duval Street stock sandbags just inside their front doors, ready anytime. “It’s really easy to see during our spring high tides that the sea level is coming up — for whatever reason — and we have to accommodate for that,” said Johnnie Yongue, the on-site technician at the fire station for Monroe County’s project management department. While New York City’s mayor was announcing a dramatic multibillion-dollar plan for flood walls and levees to hold back rising water levels there, sea walls like those that encase the Netherlands wouldn’t help much in the Keys, as a lack of coastal barriers isn’t the island chain’s only problem. “Our base is old coral reef, so it’s full of holes,” says Alison Higgins, the sustainability coordinator for the city of Key West. “You’ve got both the erosion and the fact that (water) just comes up naturally through the holes.” The Keys’ plans for adapting to rising sea levels sound a lot like the way they prepare for hurricanes: track the incoming disturbance, adjust infrastructure accordingly and communicate potential risks to residents — all, hopefully, without scar- ing off the tourists who treasure the islands for their fishing, Technicolor sunsets, eccentric characters and a come-as-you-are social scene that has attracted the likes of Ernest Hemingway, U.S. presidents and flamboyant female impersonators. In many sea level projections for the coming century, the Keys, Miami and much of southern Florida partially sink beneath potential waves. However, officials are quick to note that the Keys’ beloved resorts and marinas and airport — with a runway averaging just over 2 feet above sea level — aren’t disappearing underwater overnight. The Keys and three South Florida counties agreed in 2010 to collaborate on a regional plan to adapt to climate change. The first action plan developed under that agreement was published in October and calls for revamped planning policies, more public transportation options, stopping seawater from flowing into freshwater supplies and managing the region’s unique ecosystems so that they can adapt, too. Before writing the plan, the counties reviewed regional sea level data and projected a rise of 9 to 24 inches in the next 50 years. “The rate’s doubled. It would be disingenuous and sloppy and irresponsible not to respond to it,” Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi, who oversees the Keys. In addition to the regional plan, Monroe County aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and to incorporate future sea level rise projections into infrastructure planning. “We clearly have the most to lose. If sea-level rise is not curtailed by immediate reductions in greenhouse gases, the Florida Keys may eventually become unlivable,” according to a March draft of the county’s plans. “Planning decisions should take into consideration medium to extreme sea level rise predictions.” The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Once the Stock Island fire station is completed, next in line for possible elevation or additional drainage are a nearby park, then roads and bridges. In Key West, city officials are exploring the use of cisterns to catch rainwater for non-potable uses, to avoid taxing mainland freshwater resources. Key West also wants to switch its municipal vehicle fleet to hybrid or electric vehicles but is concerned that their low-hanging batteries will render them useless in storm-flooded streets. The conundrum illustrates the shift in the worldwide conversation on global warming, from focusing on cutting greenhouse gas emissions to adapting to climate change. “How do we both want to go greener and mitigate our carbon footprint but at the same time adapt to the fact that the sea water is still coming up on us anyway?” Higgins says. The Keys are among the cities and coastal areas worldwide building or planning defenses to protect people and infrastructure from more powerful storm surges and other effects of global warming. New York City has proposed installing removable flood walls, restoring marshes, and flood-proofing homes. In Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean and one dependent on European and Canadian tourists, inspectors and demolition crews are planning to raze thousands of houses, restaurants, hotels and improvised docks to restore much of the coast to something approaching its natural state. A luxury tourist destination, the Maldives, has built a seawall around its capital, plans to relocate residents from vulnerable islands to better protected ones and is creating new land through land reclamation, expanding existing islands or building new ones. Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Nearly 2 in 3 uninsured low-income people who would qualify for subsidized coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law may be out of luck next year because their states have not expanded Medicaid. An Associated Press analysis of figures from the Urban Institute finds a big coverage gap developing, with 9.7 million out of 15 million potentially eligible adults living in states that are refusing the expansion or are still undecided with time running short. That a majority of the neediest people who could be helped by the law may instead remain uninsured is a predicament unforeseen by Obama and congressional Democrats who designed a sweeping extension of the social safety net. The law’s historic promise of health insurance for nearly all U.S. residents would not be fulfilled as envisioned. It’s the direct consequence of last summer’s Supreme Court decision that gave states the right to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, combined with unyielding resistance to the law from many Republican state lawmakers. Expanding Medicaid is essential to Obama’s two-part strategy for covering the uninsured. Starting next year, middle-class people without job-based coverage will be able to get tax credits to help them buy private insurance. But the law calls for low-income people to enroll in Medicaid, expanded to accommodate a largely excluded group: adults with no children at home. Expanded Medicaid would cover about half the 25 million to 30 million people who could be helped by the law. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have decided to accept the expansion, which is fully financed by Washington for the first three years and phases down gradually to a 90 percent federal share. Among those are six states led by Republican governors. But the majority of low-income Americans newly eligible for Medicaid under the law live in states such as Texas, Florida and Georgia, where political opposition remains formidable. “Because of the Supreme Court’s decision making Medicaid expansion optional with the states, we’re going to see some pretty significant differences in this country from one place to another in terms of access to health care and access to health insurance,” said Gary Cohen, the Health and Human Services official overseeing the rollout of the law. Speaking this past week at the Brookings Institution, Cohen added: “We are going to have an opportunity … to take a look at that in a year and see what differ- 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.

Elections for state offices and Congress will be held next year. Republican state lawmakers continue to oppose the expansion for several reasons. Many believe Medicaid has too many problems already. Others worry that Washington will renege on financing, and some believe health care is an individual responsibility, not a government obligation. “It’s an ideological principle piece to us on the conservative side,” David Gowan, Arizona’s Republican House majority leader said recently. “We don’t believe in the expansion of Medicaid itself. … We don’t believe it’s the government’s duty to do that.” Gov. Jan Brewer, also a Republican, succeeded in getting the Arizona Medicaid expansion through the Legislature but now faces the possibility of a referendum to block the law. GOP health policy expert Gail Wilensky says she did not expect so many states to turn down the Medicaid expansion. While critical of some main features of the Affordable Care Act, Wilensky believes it’s important for the country to get uninsured people covered. “For me, it is really is quite surprising — particularly in the years with 100 percent federal funding — that so many states are saying ‘no,’” Wilensky said. “This is depriving the poorest of their citizens of an important benefit.” Wilensky ran Medicare and Medicaid during the George H.W. Bush administration. The AP’s continuing check of the states finds 18 not expanding and nine where the outcome is still undecided. The biggest states where the expansion is stymied are Texas, with 1.7 million potentially eligible residents; Florida, with 1.3 million, and Georgia, with more than 680,000. Still trying to find a path forward are Michigan and Ohio, whose Republican governors support the expansion but face legislative opposition. Each has more than one-half million potentially eligible residents, according to the Urban Institute, a public policy research center. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says she hopes that holdouts will have a change of heart. “The door is open,” said Sebelius. “If a legislature decides to reconvene at the beginning of January, and change their law, then we would welcome them in.” There is no deadline for states to decide. Next year states will have an opportunity in each calendar quarter, and if they later want to drop out they can do that.

(AP) — From the first call from inside Sandy Hook Elementary School, the severity of the attack was immediately clear to dispatcher Robert Nute. The person on the other end of the line was a woman Nute has known for 30 years, but it hardly sounded like her. “There was no question in my mind,” Nute said. “The woman I was speaking with, I could tell the difference in her voice.” As shots rang out from the gunman’s semi-automatic rifle, the dispatchers sent police racing to the school and worked to keep panicked callers on the line. Within a few minutes, the rampage was over, with 20 children and six women killed before the gunman committed suicide as police arrived at the schoolhouse. The staff at the Newtown Emergency Communications Center has won praise from officials and colleagues around the country for their work that day. Six months after the Dec. 14 massacre, the center director said the staff has been lifted by the outpouring of support as the dispatchers recover emotionally, along with the community that still peppers them with calls over anything out of the ordinary. After losing contact with the woman who first called, Nute feared she had been killed, but he learned she survived. “It was six minutes, maybe eight, and that part of it was over,” he said. “My partner and I did exactly what we were supposed to do under those circumstances. Only then do you allow that personal impact to take over.” Nute, who attended Sandy Hook Elementary as child and is a volunteer Sandy Hook firefighter, said the hardest work that morning began in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, as parents sought information and groups called offering assistance and donations. The center director, Maureen Will, said it received as many as 300 calls an hour and the phones were broken within three days from the constant jamming of the buttons. The center has staff of 10 people, including Will, who said they had received activeshooter training only the month before the tragedy and put it to work by keeping their composure during the ordeal. It has been recognized with honors, and communications offices across the country sent flowers and cards to the center. “It was the worst day of our lives, but professionally, it was the best day because we did what had to be done,” she said. Among the honors was the Outstanding 911 Call Center Award, presented in March in Washington. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy said at the time that the center deserves the award because its staff “remained composed and resolute while handling some of the most horrifying emergency calls imaginable, managing the emergency response, and keeping the community informed.” What exactly was said on the emergency calls, however, is unknown to the public; the 911 recordings have not been released. The prosecutor leading the investigation into the massacre, Danbury State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, has argued that releasing the calls could jeopardize the ongoing probe. The Associated Press is asking the state Freedom of Information commission for the recordings to be released. With personal connections to both police and victims, dispatchers in small communities like Newtown are vulnerable to the same kind of emotional trauma experienced by those on the scene of a tragedy, said Fran Roberts, a clinical psychologist in Marlton, N.J. who offers stress management services to first responders. “One of the things that makes trauma worse is the sense of helplessness,” she said. “Because of the nature of the dispatching job, they are being held back except for passing information along.” Will said there have been some emotional struggles, and anybody who needed time off has been given time off. While the calls have slowed since the tragedy, Will said people do not hesitate to alert police to strange sights or sounds. She said dispatchers, like many others in Newtown, dealt with feelings of deja vu last month when the school system was locked down because of a threatening phone call to another elementary school. The FBI is investigating the call. In a town where he more typically deals with calls regarding falls at nursing homes, Nute said his biggest takeaway from the tragedy is the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. “Don’t ever say it can’t happen,” he said. “We all get complacent and comfortable in our lives. The minute you let your guard down and say it can’t happen, it could very well happen.” The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 W.Va. abortion clinics decline to answer AG MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Both of West Virginia’s legal abortion clinics declined Tuesday to complete questionnaires about their practices and policies from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. Charleston-based Kanawha Surgicenter said doctors and others dedicated to women’s health are concerned when any state official singles a health care provider out for scrutiny “for reasons unrelated to medical care and public health.” “While we are unaware of any legal obligation to respond to your letter,” Dr. Gorli Harish wrote, “we have no objection confirming that we follow all federal, state and local laws, and that we provide the highest quality of medical care available.” Women’s Health Center of West Virginia, also based in Charleston, sent a separate letter saying it would not answer his questions because of pending litigation. Itai Gravely is suing the Charleston center and Dr. Rodney Stephens in Kanawha County Circuit Court over an abortion she says was performed on her last year over her objections. Gravely says she asked Stephens to stop because she was having severe abdominal pain. The lawsuit also claims the doctor left the fetus’ head inside the uterus. “We assure you and all West Virginians that the Women’s Health Center complies with all laws and regulations,” Executive Director Sharon Lewis wrote in response to Morrisey’s questionnaire. Women’s Health Center has cared for West Virginians for 37 years, she said, “offering a wide variety of essential medical services.” Those include cancer screening, pap tests, diagnosis of and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy testing and pregnancy support programs, contraception and sexual health counseling. “We will continue our efforts to review the state of abortion regulation in West Virginia and seek to ensure women’s health is protected,” Morrisey said in a statement. Morrisey’s letters asked, among other things, how often the clinics are inspected, how providers ensure they’re complying with the best practices and how they’re affiliated with a professional providers’ association, the National Abortion Federation. Morrisey, a Republican elected last year, said the state regulates doctors, nurses, dentists, accountants, architects, chiropractors, social workers, real estate appraisers, massage therapists, acupuncturists, barbers and cosmetologists. “But abortion clinics in West Virginia are neither licensed nor regulated by the state,” he said at the launch of the inquiry. “Regardless of one’s position on abortion, the state needs to evaluate this basic fact.” The state Department of Health and Human Resources has taken no position on Morrisey’s inquiry but says that because there is no specific licensing category for abortion providers, there is no specific agency to regulate them. The DHHR’s Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification is the responsible licensing agency for hospitals and extended care units operated in connection with a hospital. The DHHR says “abortion and all medical and surgical procedures performed in West Virginia are conducted in accordance with the existing medical standard of care for such procedures.” Morrisey asked the clinics’ physicians to explain their understanding of state abortion laws and regulations, to list the types of procedures they perform and at what stages in a pregnancy, and to explain how they educate and obtain consent from patients. The doctors were also asked to explain how they determine the appropriate amount of anesthesia and what policies they have ensuring patients’ recovery. Two civil liberties groups, WV FREE and the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia, have expressed concerns about Morrisey’s action.

Recovery From Page 1 abuse and how to learn coping skills for other addicts as well.” The group holds weekly meetings, along with individual counseling sessions and family activities. On Saturday night, R.A.C.E. members hosted a candlelight vigil and balloon launch on the Pomeroy Parking Lot while also speaking about their trials, addiction and recovery. Messages of hope were written on cards and tied to the balloons before they were released. “All hope is never lost, just lost sight of, waiting on the addict to find hope again,” read one message. A poem called Hope vs. Addiction was read by Misty Roush during the event. An addict is… a son; a daughter; a mother; a father; a brother; a sister; a friend; a student; a doctor; a teacher; a lawyer; a fast food worker; a cashier; a janitor… a soul; a life; a human; a person; a love; sick; depressed; alone; lost; needing; wanting; sad; screaming; An addict is not… a monster, a junkie, a devil, a worthless being. Roush concluded, the moral of the story “an addict can be anyone and you will never know. They are consumed in a world of delusion brought by a demon who has a grasp stronger than any other. They are labeled an shunned by society, and society fails to see they to could be an addict.” Last week, R.A.C.E. hosted guest speaker Dr. Nicholas Landry who spoke about the medical aspect of addiction. Landry is a private family practice physician in Gallia and Jackson counties who also treats those battling addiction. Landry explained one of the biggest challenges to overcome in the battle with addiction is the societal prejudice that exists toward those with addiction. He stated that addiction is the number five diagnosis in Southeast Ohio. The majority are not using to get high, according to Landry, but they are pill sick and feel they need the drug to function on a day-to-day basis.

Hernandez is already charged with murder in the shooting death of his friend Odin Lloyd, whose body was found June 17 near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough, Mass. The request from Boston police in the July 2012 double homicide was based on evidence developed through the investigation of Lloyd’s slaying, Bristol Police Lt. Kevin Morrell said. He said police were asked to search the same home in Bristol for both investigations, and a vehicle was seized at the address on Friday. Two people were killed in the shooting in Boston’s south end on July 15, 2012. Witnesses reported seeing people inside a grey SUV with Rhode Island plates open fire on a vehicle carrying the victims, 29-yearold Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and 28-year-old Safiro Teixeira Furtado. Boston police have declined to comment on whether Hernandez is being looked as a possible suspect in that case. Prosecutors say Hernandez, 23, orchestrated Lloyd’s execution-style slaying. They say it happened after the two went to a night club a few days earlier and Lloyd spoke to people Hernandez didn’t want him talking to. Two other men are also facing charges in connection with the death of Lloyd, who played linebacker for the Boston Bandits semi-pro football team. Hernandez and Lloyd were dating sisters. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder and gun charges and is being held without bail at the county jail in Dartmouth, where Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said he is acclimating well and being held alone in a cell. He gets an hour of outdoor recreation a day, an hour to shower and make phone calls, and an hour to talk to visitors per day. Also Tuesday, a Massachusetts prosecutor asked for the public’s help in finding a car mirror connected to the murder case against Hernandez. Police are seeking the driver’s side rearview mirror from a silver Nissan Altima that Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter said may be anywhere between Odin Lloyd’s home in Boston and Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough. There is about 30 miles between the locations, largely along Interstate 95, although Sutter said the mirror may be in a wooded or secluded area along the route. Hernandez was moved to a new cell on Monday and does not have any one-on-one interaction with other inmates, Hodgson said. The jail’s Gang Intelligence Unit has completed its initial assessment, which included an inspection of multiple tattoos on Hernandez’s arms and torso, for signs of past or current gang affiliations. Hernandez has denied any gang ties, Hodgson said. “We feel we should still maintain caution even though we don’t have any definitive notions at this point,” the sheriff said. He says Hernandez has been a model inmate but is being watched closely because other inmates might want to “make a name for themselves.” Hernandez’s lawyers say the case against him is circumstantial and that he’s eager to clear his name. Hernandez signed a five-year contract worth $40 million with the Patriots last year but was released the day of his arrest.

Haslams selling Tennessee Smokies baseball team KODAK, Tenn. (AP) — Cleveland Browns owner and Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam are selling the Tennessee Smokies minor league baseball team. Pilot Flying J is under a federal investigation into alleged rebate fraud. Lauren Christ, a spokeswoman for the truck-stop chain, said the sale of the Smokies wouldn’t affect Haslam’s ownership of the Browns and was unrelated to the investigation. Randy Boyd, the CEO of Knoxville-based Radio Systems Corp. and a top education adviser to Gov. Haslam, is buying the Chicago Cubs’ Double-A Southern League affiliate, the team announced Friday. “It does have something to do with Cleveland in that we’re obviously going to be spending more time there,” Jimmy Haslam told the Knoxville News-Sentinel, which first reported the sale. “But I think the reality is the entire partnership group had owned the team for 12 years and felt like it was time for new ownership.” Boyd said the deal awaits a letter of approval from Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig’s office. Terms of the sale weren’t announced. The Haslams had served as principal owners of the Smokies. One of the ownership partners had been Gary Wade, chief justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court. The Haslams will retain a security interest in the team, but Wade will no longer be a partner under the new deal. The team said the sale had been discussed since January and that an agreement was reached in March, well before FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents raided the Pilot Flying J headquarters on April 15. At a Friday news conference, Boyd said he reached a deal to buy the See SMOKIES ‌| 8 Lisicki keeps winning to reach Wimbledon semis LONDON (AP) — If Sabine Lisicki had a letdown after defeating Serena Williams, it didn’t show. If Lisicki is penciling herself into the Wimbledon final, she isn’t saying. Showing no drop-off after her dramatic victory over Williams, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating opponent, 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second career Wimbledon semifinal. “I was ready today,” Lisicki said. “I knew from the past, out of experience, that I needed to make the switch quickly to be ready, and that’s what I did.” Indeed. Lisicki opened the match by breaking Kanepi’s serve in the first game and didn’t look back in that set. In the second, she had one hiccup — a game in which she doublefaulted three times to drop a break and fall behind 2-1. She broke back right away, Submitted photo The Riverside Women’s Golf Team recently finished in a tie for third place at the 2013 West Virginia State Intra-Club State Finals held at Cress Creek Country Club in Shepherdstown, W.Va.

Kingsbury is heading into his first season with the Red Raiders after being Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator last season. He has been a part of some of college football’s most prolific offenses as a quarterback at Texas Tech under coach Mike Leach from 1998-2002 and as a coach with the Aggies and Houston. Last year, Kingsbury helped A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel win the Heisman Trophy and set numerous Southeastern Conference records. Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema are among those who have suggested the NCAA consider tweaking the rules to limit how quickly offenses can run plays and allow defenses more time to substitute players. “I would have to see some scientific or statistical information showing an increase in injuries, because to me right now it’s just talk,” Kingsbury told The Associated Press in an interview at a Manhattan hotel. “You want me to play slower, well, OK, you need to get smaller, less strong defensive linemen. To me, it’s asking to do that. “Stop recruiting these beasts up front and we won’t run as many plays.” From Oregon to Texas A&M to West Virginia, fastpaced spread offense that run upward of 75 plays per game are all the rage in college football. Scoring reached record levels last season, even in the SEC, which has prided itself on its stingy defenses during a run of seven straight national championships. “I think if you have the right personnel that offense will work anywhere,” Kingsbury said. “We’ve always believed that. I think last year proved if you have the right guys you can run it in any league.” however, and won four of the next five games to close the match. Now, the 23-year-old German finds herself in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years. Her win against Williams made her the new, odds-on favorite to win the title and even pushed Britain’s favorite tennis player, Andy Murray, off the back pages of a couple London tabloids. All of which means almost nothing — at least to hear Lisicki tell it. “Match by match,” she said. “Did that from the start and will continue to do that.” Her next opponent is No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who defeated No. 6 Li Na 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2 in a match that took more than 3½ hours to complete and included two rain delays, an injury timeout and a final game that lasted more than 10 minutes. The other semifinal will pit No. 15 Marion Bartoli of France against No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium. Flipkens beat eighth-seeded Petra Kvitova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to knock the last remaining Grand Slam tournament winner out of the draw. Flipkens won her first career Grand Slam quarterfinal, continuing quite a comeback from health problems that dropped her to No. 262 last year, not even eligible for the Wimbledon qualifying tournament. While Flipkens was winning, one of Belgium’s best, Kim Clijsters was at home in America watching. “Still drying my eyes,” Clijsters tweeted. “So proud of how Wednesday, July 3, 2013 (Flipkens) handled the big occasion for the first time!” Flipkens, who was sidelined with blood clots in her legs, counts Clijsters among the few who believed in her when things got rough. “The people believing in me, I can count on one hand,” she said. “It’s amazing.” Bartoli eliminated the last remaining American singles player, beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match halted with Stephens serving, down 5-4 at deuce. After the delay, Bartoli came out and won two points to secure the first set. Soon after, she was showered with boos because she had asked the umpire to stop the match in the first set when it started sprinkling on Court 1. “I didn’t really get why the crowd was so against me at that point,” Bartoli said. “Already, the courts were a bit slippery even when it’s dry. When it’s wet, it can get dangerous. I didn’t want to stop the match for no reason. It was a precaution.” Stephens said it would have been nice to finish the game before the break, which lasted about 2 ½ hours. “Coming back and serving at deuce, that’s always going to be tough for anyone,” she said. This is Bartoli’s deepest trip at a Grand Slam since the 2011 French Open and her deepest trip at Wimbledon since 2007, when she lost to Venus Williams in what remains her only Grand Slam final. Meanwhile, Radwanska moved one win from her second straight Wimbledon final, putting Li away on the eighth match point. Radwanska called for a medical timeout after the second set so a trainer could work on her right thigh. Up 5-2 in the third set, she called for the trainer again for a quick treatment on both legs. “If it’s the end of a Grand Slam you don’t really think about the pain or anything else,” Radwanska said. “You just fight until the end. That’s what I was doing today.” With Radwanska advancing, Poland is guaranteed a semifinalist in both the men’s and women’s draws. On Wednesday, Jerzy Janowicz plays Lukasz Kubot in an all-Polish men’s quarterfinal. “I kind of started it,” said Radwanska, who last year became the first Polish woman to reach a Grand Slam final since 1939, before falling to Williams. “It’s great to have, now, the guys doing very, very well. Especially Jerzy. He’s a young, great, upcoming player. I believe he’s also going to be top-10. This is, for sure, not his last quarterfinal of a Grand Slam.” While all the other quarterfinalists were battling each other and the rain, Lisicki had the luxury of sitting back and watching all the action unfold. Her match against Kanepi was over quickly — and nowhere near as grueling as the emotion-packed upset over Williams the previous day. “It was a different matchup,” Lisicki said. “I was just as focused as yesterday because I knew it’s going to be tough after yesterday’s match to just keep the level up. But I think I did a very good job to go for my shots and play smart. It had to be a different game today.” Smokies From Page 6 team a couple of days after Haslam contacted him in January about the possibility of buying the team. “My partners and I have been honored to own the Smokies for the past 10 years and didn’t want to let the opportunity to sell to a local owner pass by,” Haslam said in a statement. “Randy is a great community leader, a quality person and a first-class businessman. I know he will be an excellent owner.” Five members of the Pilot sales team have pleaded guilty to mail fraud charges and are cooperating with prosecutors. Jimmy Haslam has said he was unaware of an alleged conspiracy to defraud trucking company customers until he read the FBI affidavit outlining the allegations. Boyd said he first discussed the possibility of buying the Smokies more than five years ago to Jim Haslam, the father of Jimmy Haslam and Gov. Haslam. “I let him know I’d like to buy the team and he explained what a great busi- ness this was and that he would never sell it,” Boyd said. “So I really didn’t think this would ever happen until I guess in early January, I’m driving down the road and I get a call from Jimmy, and Jimmy’s very quick and direct. He says, ‘Hey, do you want to buy the Smokies?’ I weaved around on the road a bit and said, ‘Absolutely.’ Boyd said an announcement wasn’t made until now because lawyers needed to iron out the details and the sale had to receive approval from the Southern League.

Many times, you will experience misunderstandings, and you will want to clarify them. Your awareness of your words and how they will be taken helps you gain understanding. If you are single, you could meet several interesting people. Choose your sweetie with care. If you are attached, the two of you learn to speak with more depth and awareness of how the other will hear the words. Consider taking a communication workshop together. PISCES is full of surprises. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Keep reaching out to a respected friend.

Tonight: Pay bills. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You know much more than you are prepared to reveal; however, a conversation could open you up to various possibilities. You’ll gain insight when someone tosses a wild idea in your direction. You do not need to say much about your perception — just observe. Tonight: Be wild. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your instincts will be right on, but you still might decide to stay mum for a little while. As an observer, you learn a lot more than you realize. Stay open, and enjoy the interactions around you. Deal with a financial issue. You know what to do. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A conversation with a friend will support your decision to head in a certain direction. You might not always agree with this person, but in the long run, this seems like the best way to go. You finally can clear the air, and you’ll feel better as a result. Tonight: Follow your friends! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone needs you. You give 100 percent of yourself in almost any project. How much you choose to share could vary with the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Kick back, and take advantage of the moment to see the whole picture.

Tonight: Where there is great music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Listen to what someone shares. During the conversation, or afterward when reflecting on it, you might see how a misunderstanding could have occurred. Though you might not be in the mood to open up about what you see, a sense of relaxation will take over. Tonight: Visit a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others seem more willing to explain where they are coming from. Do not react immediately to what someone says, but be willing to think over his or her words. You’ll be able to visualize how you might have misread the situation. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Prioritize, and you’ll be able to take care of far more than you thought possible. A younger person has a lot to share. Listen, and you might like what you hear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your imagination will kick in during a discussion. Know that you’re able to light up someone’s life just by relaxing more. Your ingenuity can be a source of fun and pleasure. There is no reason not to reveal your more creative side. Tonight: Hang out with your pals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Stay close to your home or workplace. Though you usually enjoy an adventure or two, you might need a little more calmness right now. You could hear news that initially surprises you. Later, when you realize the implications, all you can do is smile. Tonight: Invite a friend over. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are likely to say exactly what you mean, but know that someone might surprise you with what he or she hears. Armed with that information, you will know what to do. If you are not on the same page as someone, it might be difficult to prevent squabbles. Tonight: Your treat.

In Rychel, a native of Los Angeles who played last year for the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League, the Blue Jackets tapped a prototypical power forward. A physical 6-1 and 205, he had 40 goals and 47 assists in 68 games a year ago. Rychel’s father played from 1988-99 with four NHL teams and was known more for his willingness to drop the gloves than his talent. Naturally, the son has been compared to the father. “Toughness is a part of my game,” he said. “My dad was a hard worker. I have a fighting element in my game. I’m a hard worker too. I’m a lot like my old man, but I can score a little bit more.” Dano’s numbers aren’t awe-inspiring — he had just three goals and four assists in 37 games — but he played for HC Slovan Bratislava in the Continental Hockey League (KHL). The KHL is deemed by many to be the second-best league in the world, with many former NHL stars stocking the rosters. Like Wennberg and Rychel, the No. 27 pick in the first round played against players much older than he was. At 5-11 and 183 pounds, the Austrianborn Dano is considered a project with substantial upside. He was ranked as the 12th best European skater by the NHL’s Central Scouting. He has played internationally and professionally for Slovakia. “I play against men,” Dano said, “so I must be strong.” He is from the same hometown (Trencin, Slovakia) as Blue Jackets star winger Marian Gaborik. The two have worked out together during the summers back home. Columbus had the No. 2 overall pick a year ago and snapped up promising defenseman Ryan Murray, but he missed most of the season with a shoulder injury which required surgery. He’s expected to vie for a spot with the big club this fall. The Blue Jackets came into the day with a total of seven picks in the seven rounds. The total of three picks in the first round was the most ever for the franchise. Later, the Blue Jackets selected defenseman Dillon Heatherington (2nd round, 50th pick), right wing Oliver Bjorkstrand (3rd round, 89th pick), center Nick Moutrey (4th round, 105th pick), right wing Markus Soberg (6th round, 165th pick) and center/right wing Peter Quenneville (7th round, 195th pick). Quenneville is the second cousin of Stanley Cup-champion Chicago coach Joel Quenneville. The fans at Nationwide Arena let out a loud “Whoaaa!” when the Vancouver Canucks traded goaltender Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils for the No. 9 pick in the biggest early surprise of the day.

After 5 decades, MLB makes a comeback on Cuban TV HAVANA (AP) — Cubans got to watch something on their television screens this week that this baseball-crazed island hasn’t seen in more than half a century: a Major League Baseball game broadcast in its entirety on the open airwaves. But the early reviews were not overly enthusiastic. The game turned out to be a nearly 2-monthold matchup between two teams that boast none of the defected Cuban stars who islanders are most eager to follow. Around 9:30 Sunday night, “Baseball International” cut to a full replay of the May 2 game between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves, which ended in a 3-1 Nationals’ win. It was unlike a normal U.S. broadcast, stripped of commercials and lasting just an hour and a half or so. Cuban commentators provided color and play-byplay over the original English, which could be heard faintly in the background. Baseball is just as much of a national pastime in Cuba as it is in the United States, but even die-hard fans mostly shrugged after watching. “It’s interesting to see how they play, but I can’t say it thrilled me all that much because I don’t know any of the players,” said Diego Sierra, 67. “I would really like to see the Cubans, see how they are developing in that league, really see how well they are doing.” He was talking about homegrown talent like outfielder Yasiel Puig, who has posted a gaudy .436 batting average this year in 26 games played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, or fireballer Aroldis Chapman, a closer who’s on pace for 40 saves with the Reds this year and who set a record in 2010 by throwing a ball 105 mph. Defectors’ names all but disappear from the official press once they leave Cuba, the trade-off for contracts that make them instant millionaires. Islanders rely on word of mouth, news from relatives abroad and videos passed around on pen drives and DVDs to keep up with their exploits. “I watched this game for about 45 minutes and didn’t think much of it,” said Margarita Roman, a 46-year-old devotee of Havana’s powerhouse team, Industriales. “Besides, there weren’t any Cubans. That’s what interests us.” “But things are changing so I hope the next step is to show a game with our compatriots, and if it can be live, all the better,” she added. Cuban television sometimes carries MLB highlights and last month showed several games of the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, days after they were played. Local cable TV, generally limited to foreigners, tourist hotels and restaurants, also has programming from the ESPN and FOX sports channels. But Sunday’s NationalsBraves matchup is the first time since 1961 that a full MLB game has been seen on the open airwaves, which is what most Cubans have access to. It was not clear if Cuba got permission from Major League Baseball to broadcast the game. The Communist-run island routinely airs U.S. television content including sitcoms such as “Seinfeld” and crime dramas such as “CSI,” apparently without compensating American networks. Washington and Havana have not had full diplomatic relations for over five decades, and most commerce between the two countries is outlawed by the U.S. economic and financial embargo against Cuba. “Baseball International” launched about four months ago and has shown professional play from leagues in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico and other Latin American nations. Professional sports were deemed inconsistent with Marxist ideals and banned in Cuba two years after Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution. But recently island athletics have been undergoing something of an opening. Several Cuban ballplayers have been cleared to play professionally in Mexico in recent weeks. Meanwhile defectors like pitcher Jose Contreras and Golden Glove winning shortstop Rey Ordonez visited the island in recent months, where they were met regularly by legions of fans. A team of Cubans is set to play exhibition games in Miami and Tampa later this month, and the national squad is returning to the Caribbean Series after a 53-year absence.

Unable to swing a big trade for immediate, experienced help, the Blue Jackets selected Swedish center Alexander Wennberg, native Californian left wing Kerby Rychel and Slovak center Marko Dano on Sunday at the draft in Newark, N.J. Rychel, son of former NHL player Warren Rychel, might as well have been speaking for the group by saying he hoped to make the big club right away this fall. “I’m a mature kid for my age,” he said. “I know the NHL is definitely a big step, but regardless of that I’m going to try my hardest to make the team.” Each choice was met by wild applause from a crowd of more than 2,800 Blue Jackets fans watching the draft on the center-ice monitors at the club’s Nationwide Arena. Most draft experts expected the Blue Jackets to package one or more of their first-rounders to get immediate offensive help for a club that ranked 25th of the NHL’s 30 teams a year ago. Instead they selected teenagers who may require some seasoning, leaving general manager Jarmo Kekalainen to acquire goal-scorers by signing free agents or making trades. The free-agent period begins late next week. Before Kekalainen deals with bringing in new players, he’ll concentrate on signing his club’s most valuable player. Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, the Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL’s top netminder, can become a restricted free agent on Monday. After weeks of little movement, there were reports that the Blue Jackets were close to signing him just before the draft began. But nothing was in writing as the draft began. “I’m very optimistic,” Kekalainen said of the talks with his star goaltender. On Friday he had said he would not even use the word “progress” when describing the molasses-slow negotiations. As the draft moved to the No. 14 pick, the Blue Jackets grabbed the skilled Wennberg, a 6-foot-1½, 185-pounder. Scouting reports raved about his puckhandling ability and hockey sense. He was ranked as the fifth best International Skater by the NHL’s Central Scouting. Asked his biggest strength, Wennberg said, “I think it would be the smartness on the ice. I’m good at reading the play and always being in the right position.” He had 14 goals and 18 assists in 46 games playing against older players with Djugarden in Sweden’s Allsvenskan league. “The plan is to stay in Sweden one more year and maybe gain some more weight and get stronger, and improve my skill,” Wennberg said. “If I’m going to be ready for the NHL I think you need to improve everything because it’s such a great league. After this year, I’ll just wait and see what’s going to happen.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
