REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The 40 year-old Veterans Memorial Hospital may soon meet its end, once its contents are donated or sold later this summer. Meigs County Commissioners are now in the process of removing doors, fixtures and other items from the abandoned building, and have decided the former hospital is beyond repair. Commissioner Tim Ihle said the building has suffered significant water damage from a leaking roof and a decade of neglect. The ceiling is caving in throughout the building, and signs of structural damage are showing on the brick exterior of the hospital on East Memorial Drive. Commissioner Tim Ihle looks over some of the kitchen equipment remaining in the Veterans Memorial Hospital building. These items are among those to be donated or sold in preparation for likely demolition of the 40 year-old building. See VMH, A5 (Brian J.

A fire which occurred last Wednesday has now been determined arson, according to Shane Cartmill, spokesperson for Ohio’s Division of State Fire Marshal. The fire occurred at 304 Sycamore Street, the location of a duplex which was occupied on both sides though no one was home at the time of the fire, Cartmill said. He added the duplex received minor damage. There were no injuries. A few days earlier, at BRING ON THE BLUES!

Jurors in the trial of Anthony Sowell, 51, returned from the dramatic crime-scene visit and listened intently to opening statements by both sides as Sowell sat impassively. The prosecution presented a triple litany for jurors ‚Äî when the victims disappeared in an impoverished, drug-ridden neighborhood, where their remains were found at his home and how Sowell allegedly killed them. "You are about to begin a rather disturbing journey," a frowning assistant Prosecutor Richard Bombik warned jurors. The case will create an indelible impression, he told the jury in an opening statement accompanied by color photos of the victims displayed on two flat-screen television sets. "It will be burned into your memory for as long as you live," Bombik said. The prosecutor said the evidence would make jurors believe beyond any doubt that Sowell is guilty. Defense attorney John Parker told jurors there is no fingerprint, DNA or other scientific evidence linking Sowell to the 11 women. Sowell, dressed in dark slacks and a white top, sat with his hands on his lap as both sides presented opening statements to the jury. The prosecution also displayed photos of Sowell's parents and drawings with stick characters showing where the remains were found. Earlier, under a sunny blue sky, a motorcade of four vans under police escort traveled to Sowell's three-story home. Jurors wore protective coverings over their shoes as they entered the home, which is surrounded by a towering metal fence. Reporters who accompanied the jury said the house smelled of mildew — and the smell grew worse as the jurors ascended from the basement to the third floor, where flies buzzed around the filthy rooms. Some rooms were in complete disrepair, with men's and women's clothing piled on the floor and dresser drawers flung open. A can of malt liquor stood next to a bed on the third floor, and the mattress was covered with papers. In the basement, a wrench hung from a nail on the wall and a dead rat was found on the floor. Some rooms had pieces of foam insulation and dirt on the floor and large holes in the walls. There were also signs of the home's former inhabitant: food crusted over in a Pyrex dish, a Ray Charles album, a pamphlet about substance-abuse programs. Prosecutors say Sowell lured women from his neighborhood into his home with the promise of alcohol or drugs, then killed them. He has pleaded not guilty to killing the women and faces the death penalty if convicted. The bodies were found buried throughout the home and backyard in November, 2009. The women disappeared one by one, starting in October, 2007, with the last one vanishing in September, 2009. All of the victims were black, and most had traces of drugs in their bodies. The jurors were accompanied by the judge, sheriff's deputies and trial attorneys. The attorneys were warned in advance not to discuss the case with jurors or point anything out, and jurors were told that the visit was meant to help provide perspective for the trial. As they toured the home, jurors were instructed to take note of which room they were in. WATERLOO, Iowa — Republican Michele Bachmann officially launched her White House bid on Monday, casting herself as hardcharging conservative capable of carrying the party into the 2012 election over a crowded field of GOP rivals so far treading lightly around the tea party favorite. On a sun-splashed morning in the yard of an historic mansion in Waterloo, the three-term Minnesota congresswoman insisted the nation can't afford another four years of President Barack Obama and railed against debt, joblessness and the president's sweeping health care law. She argued that she has the appeal to capture the GOP nod and oust the Democratic president. "Americans agree that our country is in peril today and we must act with urgency to save it," Bachmann told the crowd of family, friends and supporters. "And Americans aren't interested in affiliation; they are interested in solutions, and leadership that will tell the truth. And the truth is that Americans are the solution and not the government." The backdrop served as a powerful reminder of Bachmann's connection to Iowa and its importance in the presidential sweepstakes. Waterloo is Bachmann's birthplace and the historic Snowden House once was home to the Waterloo Women's Club. A recent Iowa poll shows Bachmann essentially tied with national front-runner Mitt Romney, signaling she's a clear caucus favorite. Bachmann is betting that her standing with the tea party ‚Äî she created the Tea Party Caucus in Congress ‚Äî and affinity with evangelical Christians will deliver a win in the first-in-thenation caucus state. "I seek the presidency not for vanity, but because America is at a crucial moment and I believe that we must make a bold choice if we are to secure the promise of the future," she said. Republican opponents have yet to directly engage Bachmann, but recognize they ignore her at their own peril. Her candidacy presents a particular challenge to fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty, the state's former governor. Asked about Bachmann on NBC's "Today" show on Monday, Pawlenty demurred but did focus on his record. "I've actually led in an executive position and moved the needle on conservative results," said Pawlenty, who is running radio ads in Iowa that end with the slogan: "Results, Not Rhetoric." A Des Moines Register poll published Sunday showed Bachmann and Romney far ahead in Iowa of Pawlenty, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and businessman Herman Cain. Possible late entrants include Texas Gov. Rick Perry and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who was heading to Iowa on Tuesday for a screening of a documentary about her. In her speech, Bachmann steered clear of specific proposals she'd advance as president, a day after suggesting that the concerns over averting a debt crisis were "scare tactics" that could be solved by paying only the interest on U.S. obligations while lawmakers work on a deal to cut spending as part of a new debt ceiling. The idea has been dismissed as unworkable by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Obama hits Broadway White House: ʻSignificantʼ looking for campaign cash deal on debt possible WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama plunged into deadlocked negotiations to cut government deficits and raise the nation's debt limit as the White House expressed confidence Monday that a "significant" deal with Republicans can be reached. But both sides only seemed to harden their positions as the day wore on, with the White House insisting on some higher taxes as part of the package and the Republican leadership flatly refusing to consider them. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., for about 30 minutes at the White House, a straightforward session that only set the stage for an evening meeting of Obama, Biden and Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama reported out of the morning session that "everyone in the room believes that a significant deal remains possible." But Carney affirmed that Obama will only go for a deficit-reduction plan that includes both spending cuts and increased tax revenue, a so-called "balanced" approach that Republicans say would never get through Congress based on the tax hikes. "It's the only way to get it done if you want to do it right," Carney said. McConnell, in a speech just hours before heading to the White House for his meeting with the president, said: "It's time Washington take the hit, not the taxpayers." McConnell said any tax increase or new spending would be counterproductive to an economic recovery and pointed out Democrats had been unable to pass tax increases on the wealthy when they controlled both chambers of Congress last year. "Let's move past tax hikes, talk about what's actually possible, and let's talk about what has and hasn't worked over the past two years," said the Kentucky Republican. Reid called his session with Obama "a productive meeting." "I hope my Republican colleagues will put the economy ahead of politics," he said on the Senate floor. "I hope they'll join us to create jobs and set aside their desire to please the tea party and defeat President Obama." At issue is not just how to cut a staggering national debt but a showdown on the federal borrowing limit that carries enormous risks. Absent an agreement that cuts long-term deficits, Republicans say they will not vote to increase the nation's borrowing, which will exceed its $14.3 trillion limit on Aug. 2. The administration has warned that if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling, it could mean the first U.S. financial default in history and send economic shockwaves around the world. The president made his move to get more personally involved in the negotiations on Friday, after bipartisan talks led by Biden stalled when Republican lawmakers abandoned the negotiations, saying the issues still on the table must now be addressed by the president. He has already met privately with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and with House Democrats to advance the debt talks. The White House is pushing for some tax increases on the wealthy or the elimination of tax breaks for big companies and wealthy individuals as part of a broader plan. During bipartisan negotiations led by Biden, Democrats proposed about $400 billion in additional tax revenue, including ending subsidies to oil and gas companies, an idea that has failed in the Senate. The administration also would tax private equity or hedge fund managers at higher income tax rates instead of lower capital gains rates, change the depreciation formula on corporate jets and limit itemized deductions for wealthy taxpayers. It also has called for repealing a tax benefit for an inventory accounting practice used by many manufacturers. But Republicans are demanding huge cuts in government spending and insisting there be no tax increases. Carney wouldn't set a deadline for a deal, saying he didn't want to name a "token timetable." He said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden would hold additional meetings with congressional lawmakers, though there were none scheduled at this point. NEW YORK — President Barack Obama turned to the bright lights of Broadway and celebrity backers Thursday night to raise money for his re-election bid. The presidential motorcade crisscrossed Manhattan as Obama worked his way through three events that raised money for the Democratic Party and his 2012 campaign. Key Obama fundraisers have been asked to raise $60 million for that effort by the end of June. The fundraisers included an event on a Broadway stage, where Obama spoke to supporters who bought tickets, starting at $100, to watch a performance of the musical "Sister Act." The fundraisers were part of a two-day trip that took Obama away from Washington as Republicans pulled out of debt-reduction talks and pressed the president to take a more active role in the negotiations. Obama opened his fundraising trip with a quick stop at the upstate New York military base Fort Drum, where he defended his freshly unveiled plans to bring 33,000 troops home from Afghanistan by September 2012. But in New York City, his agenda was all about raising money and urging ambivalent supporters to open their wallets again, even though they may be dissatisfied with some of his policies over the past two years. At a high-dollar dinner at the exclusive New York restaurant Daniel, Obama urged his supporters to recapture the enthusiasm from the 2008 campaign, even though he's now "old news." "I know that it's not going to be exactly the same as when I was young and vibrant and new," he said. Ticket prices for the dinner were $35,800 a person. Obama also turned to some celebrities to make the case for his re-election. At a fundraiser for gays and lesbians, actor Neil Patrick Harris touted Obama's work in overturning the military's "don't ask, don't tell" ban on openly gay service members. Later, Obama ducked into the Broadway Theater after the conclusion of "Sister Act" so he could speak to donors. Actress Whoopi Goldberg, one of the show's producers, introduced the president and told the crowd Obama needs four more years to finish the job he has started. With Obama's 2012 campaign kicking into high gear, advisers are telling donors privately that they hope to match or exceed the $750 million raised in 2008. Some estimates say the 2012 re-election campaign could pull in $1 billion. Republicans were quick to criticize Obama's fundraising blitz through Manhattan. "While President Obama tries to escape the pressures of his failed economic policies with a fundraiser in New York, millions remain out of work and are beginning to realize that the only job our president is concerned about is his own," said Ryan Tronovitch, spokesman for the Republican National Committee. From New York, Obama was heading to Pittsburgh, where he was to speak at a manufacturing event Friday. The money raised at Thursday's events go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising account by the Democratic National Committee and Obama's campaign.

B RO T H E R S Home-schooling a gifted child BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My 8-year-old son belongs in a gifted-and-talented program, but our school district just cut the funding for any such program in elementary school. He's having a terrible time, because he's bored by the curriculum and is picked on at school. I've thought about home schooling — I have a friend who home-schools her kids and swears by it — but I don't know if it's a good idea for gifted kids. Can I home-school my gifted child? — G.P. Dear G.P.: It's a shame that your district has cut the funding for elementaryschool gifted programs. For gifted children, elementary school can be especially difficult, since usually there aren't many options for acceleration within the traditional curriculum. It's not surprising that your son is bored by the material if he's ready to tackle more advanced stuff. Home schooling is only one of a few options that you should look into before making a decision about your son's education. You can talk to your son's teacher and the school's administration about alternative options for acceleration or grouping of gifted kids, or look into specialinterest, private or magnet schools in your area. On the other hand, in a lot of cases, home schooling can provide the best, most flexible option for gifted kids who can't seem to find a place in a traditional school curriculum. There are plenty of references on the Internet that can help you plan a curriculum and tailor your son's education to his particular needs and interests, and the Hoagie's Gifted Education website, www.hoagiesgifted.org, has great resources on home schooling. If you do decide on home schooling, remember to keep your son engaged socially with other kids, and try to get him involved in different activities so as to broaden his social interactions and give him the best chance of success in the future. Dr. Joyce Brothers right now makes it tough to get a job, it seems like he's not even trying. He's a good kid, but his lack of motivation is starting to get to me. What can I do to encourage him to get a job and a place of his own without it sounding like he's not wanted? — L.L. Dear L.L.: According to statistics from the Pew Research Center, more than 15 percent of Americans live in households with at least two generations of adults — and this includes a substantial portion of parents whose children have decided to move back home while getting on their feet. You're right to think that the economy is to blame — from high unemployment rates (especially among young people) to huge college loan debts and the high cost of living, it's not easy to start out on your own these days. For some parents, making the transition to living with their kids can be quite easy, but for most it presents a host of challenges. The best way to attack these challenges is by meeting them head-on. While you might get lucky and have your stepson move out tomorrow, it's more likely that he'll be around at least for a little while, and making your living situation bearable is more important — and constructive — than forcing him out the door. Talk to him about your concerns around the house. You both need to share your expectations openly so that you can find acceptable compromises. There is always a temptation to make living at home so miserable that he is forced to move out, but you need to resist that temptation and work toward the positive goal of helping your stepson get settled on his own. You'll both be happier for it in the long run. Dear Dr. Brothers: My stepson graduated from college last year, and has been living with me and my wife (his mother) ever since. He went to a good school, and while I understand that the economy (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate 5 p.m. at the Rutland Fire Station. The proposed budget for 2012 will be adopted.

The classes are also a great opportunity for them academically, while giving the students the opportunity to experience college life.” “Also, many teachers are enrolled in the workshops and regular classes we offer during the summer, and our Centers in Meigs and Vinton counties are seeing record enrollments”, Abell said. In addition, changes in financial aid programs in recent years have provided more funding for students who would like to take summer classes. Rio Grande offers a wide range of academic programs in the summer months, and these courses attract students who want to continue their college careers during the summer. Rio Grande focuses on small class sizes and oneon-one attention in the classroom, and this philosophy continues during the summer sessions. Students are able to work closely with their professors while working with the other students in their courses. Rio Grande also offers a large number of online courses throughout the academic year, and about one-third of all the students taking summer classes this year are either taking online classes or hybrid classes that are taught partially online. These online courses offer more flexibility to students who have family and work responsibilities during the summer months and throughout the year, and they are becoming more popular.

What about Steve Coogan’s talk-show parody, “Knowing Me, Knowing You With Alan Partridge”? Or how about the 2003 political thriller “State of Play”? Catching these British shows in the U.S. used to mean hunting down sometimes hard to find DVDs. But in digital realms, divisions between American and British TV worlds are fast dissolving. Netflix and Hulu have made international television more accessible than ever. Now, one’s favorite “new” show is often phrased as a “discovery.” And often, viewers’ interests lead beyond borders. Broadcast television, of course, offers many cable stations from abroad. But in the vast digital repositories of Hulu and Netflix, shows aren’t segregated by country of origin. Instead, programs are discovered and rediscovered through word of mouth and recommendations from friends, often through social media or those sites’ own recommendation engines. American networks have long looked across the Atlantic for programming to copy — for example, franchised hits such as “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and attempted remakes such as “Coupling.” Many shows also end up on BBC America or PBS, such as the recent, acclaimed upstairs-downstairs drama “Downton Abbey.” But often, such hits as “Downton Abbey” send viewers back to Netflix, where they scour for more top-notch British costume drama. Viewers need not wait for what often turns out to be dumbed-down, Americanized remakes, but can instead seek out the original series. Hulu, which is owned by the parent companies of ABC, NBC and Fox, is attempting to make a splash this summer by streaming three British series not before seen in the U.S. “Misfits,” a Channel 4 comedy about community service-sentenced teenagers turned into superheroes by an electrical storm, premiered on Hulu last week. The Vuguru-produced Web series “The Booth at the End,” a moralistic thriller about a man who grants wishes for a price, will premiere July 11. “Whites,” a BBC comedy about a country house hotel chef, debuts July 20. “We’d much rather find a show that a small to medium audience loves to death than a show that a broader audience might kind of like,” says Andy Forssell, senior vice president of content acquisition and distribution for Hulu. “In an online, (video on demand) environment, there are some aspects of that environment that are much different than linear (TV) that steer you to those type of shows.” Forssell says the tools of a Web-streaming experience — such as social media — are conducive to seeking out what he calls “the secret band concept,” where fans feel they’ve found something obscure and want to tell their friends about it. He calls it a “selforganizing audience.” “That leads us to content in a number of different areas, but one of them, interestingly, has been content from the U.K.,” he says. Hulu earlier noticed a surprisingly strong response to British shows such as the cult comedy “Spaced” by Simon Pegg, which ran from 1999 to 2001. Also popular on Hulu were the 2004-2006 hospital sitcom “Green Wing” and the 2003-2010 sitcom “Peep Show.” The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

She’s never been to New York City and doesn’t know a soul who died on Sept. 11 — but talk of the terror attacks a decade ago immediately moves her to tears. Step outside of Abner’s and there, across the road at Main and Center Streets, is one of the largest Sept. 11 memorials outside the attack sites; a granite monument etched with all the victims’ names, surrounded by four giant pieces of World Trade Center steel. Gilkerson often walks and bikes past the memorial, stopping to run her finger over the names. “I feel like I knew them,” she said. “And that I can keep their memory alive.” A decade of public mourning for the nearly 3,000 people killed in the nation’s worst terror attack hasn’t abated; in fact, it thrives in this country, from the steel memorial parks to the fake Statue of Liberty outside a Las Vegas casino to a tiny chapel by ground zero. The attacks have spawned a ritual of extravagant public mourning that hasn’t waned; even Americans who didn’t lose a loved one on Sept. 11 are still grieving as if they had. Gilkerson says it best: “I think we’ll always mourn our losses from that day.” Experts in grief say the outsized sorrow for “our losses” is Americans’ way of processing the most devastating public event of their lifetimes, which they need to do before they can begin to let go. “This,” says Michael Katovich, a Texas sociology professor who teaches on death and dying, “is a process of solidifying our memories.” They’re still grieving in Hilliard, a suburb of the state capital of Columbus, and an eight hour’s drive from New York City. None of its 28,000 residents died on Sept. 11, yet the people who live in the new subdivisions and work in the small brick buildings that line the downtown still mourned. Mayor Don Schonhardt was one of the mourners, and he went to New York to ask authorities there for trade center steel for the city’s memorial. “We felt it was important to be a community in middle America that would say to the U.S. and the world, that we do remember what happened that day,” Schonhardt said. The memorial fills a city block in the center of town with its two pieces of rusted track from the subway that ran underneath the World Trade Center, and two other large hunks of twisted metal from the towers themselves. Las Vegas has a permanent memorial at the fake Statue of Liberty outside the New York, New YorkHotel Casino. There’s a rotating exhibit of items that were left at the casino in the days after the attacks. Recently, about a dozen Fire Department and police T-shirts from around the U.S. were on display in the shadow boxes, which are lighted at night. The hundreds of other items are archived and stored at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. In a city of excess and fantasy, the memorial — which is across the street from the MGM Grand casino and its golden Lion statue and from Excalibur, a medieval-themed gambling hall — is a sober reminder of reality, and visitors stop and peer into the shadow boxes while walking from one casino to the next. The small western Pennsylvania town of Shanksville is touched like no other by the attacks; it’s believed to have been an attack site by accident, but one whose residents had little connection to the 40 people who perished aboard the hijacked jetliner Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that crashed at more than 500 mph into the lush, green landscape. A $60 million memorial is being built in the field. Inside a temporary visitor center, people write messages on slips of paper. A message signed by “Cathy” on June 18 reads, “Almost ten years and I still can keep back the tears when I visit any of the three memorials or watch a TV show about 9/11. So truly, we never forget.” Psychologists and sociologists who study grief and public mourning say that most of us — at least for those who didn’t lose a loved one in the attacks — are still processing the pain, which will dwindle with each successive generation. “It’s part of our defense mechanism to distance ourselves,” said Katovich, a professor at Texas Christian University. Carla Ross, an expert on grief and forgiveness from Raleigh, N.C., said many Americans are still actively mourning 9/11. “There’s two things that make it really complicated for people,” said Ross, a communication professor at Meredith College. “People don’t know who to forgive. They don’t know how to let it go. And instead of grieving and letting go, we’re blaming a whole culture of people. People are really struggling with that.” Gilkerson and her friends don’t want to stop. They say if we do, we’ll forget what happened and the sacrifices made by first responders and soldiers who fought in the wars the attacks wrought. Brad Fetty, a 34-year-old firefighter-in-training and a bus driver with Gilkerson, said that his city’s memorial conjures up complicated emotions and questions about that day. While looking at the twisted and rusted steel beams, he said he wonders, “What am I looking at? Was there blood, were there tears, actually on this piece of metal?” Ross thinks that societies that have experienced large tragedies never really stop grieving, but that the mourning becomes softer, less edgy. “Usually when people get to the end of the grieving process, they start making sense of things, how it’s impacted their lives for the positive,” she said. Karl Glessner is a 60year-old volunteer “ambassador” at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville. He spends entire days at the public viewing area that overlooks the field where the 40 people aboard the plane died, and explains what he saw and heard that day. Glessner stands at the viewing area when it’s raining and when it’s sweltering, telling people how he felt the ground shake from the plane’s impact and saw the smoke cloud from the crash. He still sometimes chokes up when talking about the day. Talking to hundreds of people a day at the somber viewing area has made him “a better person,” he said. “This is basically the best thing I do,” he added. Schonhardt said he pushed to build the Hilliard memorial after talking about Sept. 11 at local schools, and realizing some of the secondgraders weren’t even born when the attacks happened. “It was designed to help children of our community understand what happened,” he said. “This park helps us put the whole thing in perspective. When you lose that much innocence, it’s profound. I think this is one we don’t want to forget.” When asked whether Americans will ever stop mourning Sept. 11, Schonhardt paused. “I hope not,” he said. “I think it’s important we recall the sacrifice and the way the day changed our lives. Once you stop that mourning process and you move on, there’s a tendency to forget.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Letters to the Editor able.

Lopez Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor Pam Caldwell Advertising Director �Tuesday, June 28, 2011 VHM Arson From Page A1 From Page A1 Chairs and desks stored by a county agency fill a room designed for patient care in the old VMH building. The county-owned building was shuttered in 2001, after the closing of its extended care unit. The inpatient hospital facility and emergency department had closed before that. It has been vacant ever since, deemed unsuitable for hospital use. The hospital opened in 1962, as Meigs Memorial Hospital, and once was a busy health care center for Meigs County residents. Surgeries were performed in two operating suites, babies were delivered for a time, and fractures and other medical emergencies were treated in a full-service emergency department. In the 1980’s, one wing was converted into the extended care facility. Long-time employees remember the days when patients were treated in corridors because there were more patients than rooms in which to accommodate them. Now, the building is filled with office and hospital furniture, filing cabinets, medical equipment, kitchen appliances and other items left over when Consolidated Health Systems closed it. Dishes and trays remain stacked on scullery shelves. Clocks and calendars still hang on the walls. Hymnals, New Testaments and sacramental items still sit below a picture of Jesus on the chapel wall. There are clear signs the hospital was living quarters for one or more after it was closed. Since the building closed, the sheriff’s department, Council on Aging and other county departments have used it for storage, adding to the clutter. Ihle said men are now working to remove items that can be practically salvaged, such as the doors, stainless steel shelving, heating and cooling equipment and copper fixtures, which can be sold. “The county should see some return on this material while it still has a value, instead of being left here to deteriorate,” Ihle said, noting that these items are still in good condition and could be used for a number of purposes. Some items, including an organ still sitting in the chapel, were donated to the public hospital by organizations throughout the years. Those items will be made available to those who donated them originally, if possible, Ihle said. Then, the county will offer what remains to other non-profits if they can be put to use. While medical equipment is likely unusable, the ranges, dishwashing machines and other items might still be put to work, he said. A church organization, for example, has expressed interest in using hospital linens, which still remain in cabinets where they were left behind 11 years ago, for emergency shelters. A public auction is planned for mid-August, Ihle said, to dispose of the remaining desks, chairs, cabinets and hundreds of other sundry items left in the patient rooms, laboratory, surgery and offices of the old hospital. A table in the board room might be moved to the courthouse, for example. Bronze plaques erected when the building was dedicated 40 years ago will also be salvaged for posterity. County government is in need of additional space, Ihle said, for offices and storage, and when he took office in January, he thought moving some operations to the hospital building might be an option. “That was before I came in and saw the deplorable conditions here,” Ihle said Monday. “Now, it is clear it would be more practical and cost efficient to build something new. The damage caused here could never be repaired.” Genesis DVD discussion POMEROY — A DVD presentation and discussion of answers in Genesis with Ken Ham: “Do Animals Evolve?” will be held at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 5 at Mulberry Community Center youth room. Offices closed POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department and TB Clinic will be closed on Monday, July 4 for the holiday. The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 www.mydailysentinel.com around 4:15 a.m., Saturday, June 18, a three-alarm fire was reported to Meigs 911 which dispatched personnel from the Middleport, Pomeroy and Rutland Volunteer Fire Departments to combat the blaze at 635 Oliver Street. This fire occurred at a singlestory, family dwelling which was vacant - there were no injuries on the scene though the structure received “extensive damage.” Investigators with the Division of State Fire Marshal are determining who owns the home and whether or not it is included within an estate or is in the possession of a financial institution. In addition to causing damage to the home at Oliver Street, Cartmill said there was also damage done to a neighboring mobile home which is occupied. Since both arsons are part of an ongoing, criminal investigation, Cartmill said the fire marshal’s office had no comment when it came to details on how and where the fire started. However, the big question on the minds of residents is, are these fires related? “There’s no reason to believe the fires are connected right now...nothing indicates a connection right now,” Cartmill stressed. Anyone with tips or leads in these cases are asked to call the Middleport Police Department at 9926424 and/or the Division of State Fire Marshal at 1800-589-2728. This is the third house fire determined to be caused by arson in less than two months in Meigs County. Back in May, investigators with the Division of State Fire Marshal were called to a residence at 307 Fifth Street in Racine. A $5,000 reward leading to the identification of the person(s) responsible for the Racine fire has been offered by the Division of State Fire Marshal though no reward is being offered in the Middleport fires at this time. Racine From Page A1 the parade. Home National Bank will sponsor the first place float prize of $100 while the Racine Fire Department will sponsor both the second place float prize of $75 and the third place float prize of $50. Immediately following the parade at around 11 a.m., the Racine Fire Department will be selling its chicken barbecue dinners and homemade ice cream. Rees said the Racine Fire Department personnel and Ladies Auxiliary will be busy preparing 700 halves of chicken and 80 gallons of homemade ice cream for the event. Chicken dinners will be sold for $7 and include potato salad, baked beans, roll and a half chicken. Half chicken pieces will be sold for $5; homemade ice cream will be sold for $5 a quart and $2.50 a pint. The Racine Fire Department will also be setting off a fireworks display at 10 p.m. on Monday. Rees said the display, which is funded by different businesses and individuals in the Racine community, will cost around $3,000. Contracts From Page A1 retroactive to March 16.

Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle met with the Tea Party members to discuss how county money is spent and what can be done to cut expenditures to keep within the county’s budget. He also explained about levies, the effect on the public, the necessity of voting, and the importance of knowing the content before going to the polls. Dave Fennessy displayed the booth material which the group will take to the “We the People Convention,” July 1-2 at the Columbus Convention Center. It was noted that reservations for the Tea Party convention are still available. Featured speakers there will be political analyst Dick Morris on Friday night and presidential candidates on Saturday night.

Undeniably great as she is, even defending champion Serena found it too tough to make a deep run at her first Grand Slam tournament in a year after a series of health scares. And as successful as Venus has been at the All England Club, even she couldn’t muster her best after missing nearly five months with a hip injury. “I don’t think their layoffs helped their rhythm,” Price said. “They both seemed to be making the same kinds of mistakes. They were hit-and-miss, here and there.” They’re both headed home after straight-set exits in the fourth round against far-less-accomplished opponents Monday. First, 13-time major champion Serena lost 6-3, 7-6 (6) to ninth-seeded Marion Bartoli on Court 1. Then, less than two hours later and before a Centre Court crowd that included Prince William and his new bride, Kate, five-time Wimbledon champion Venus was beaten 6-2, 6-3 by 32nd-seeded Tsvetana Pironkova. Adding to the chaotic nature of the afternoon, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki lost, too, although she’s still searching for her first Grand Slam singles trophy, while the Williams sisters own a total of 20. “Definitely not our best day,” Venus said. “I think we both envisioned seeing this day going a little bit different.” And why shouldn’t they have? After all, Venus and her younger sister combined to win nine of the past 11 Wimbledon titles, including Serena’s victories in 2009 and 2010. They even played each other in four of the finals in that span. “Well, I never came here thinking I would lose,” said Serena, a former No. 1 whose ranking now will plummet to about 175th. “That’s my attitude.” It’s the first time since 2006 that neither Williams is in the Wimbledon quarterfinals; Venus lost in the third round that year, while Serena skipped that tournament because of a left knee injury. Of the 12 years that both entered the field at the All England Club, this is the first neither one made it past the fourth round. “Obviously, it’s not something planned,” Venus said. “We rarely lose on the same day.” That’s true: They last lost on the same day at a Grand Slam tournament on May 30, 2008, in the French Open’s third round. All in all, it was a topsy-turvy day at the All England Club. Set aside, for a moment, what went on with the Williams sisters, and digest Monday’s various other happenings: — Wozniacki still has yet to make it past the fourth round at Wimbledon after a 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5 defeat against No. 24 Dominika Cibulkova; — defending champion and top-seeded Rafael Nadal initially thought he broke his left foot and might have to quit late in the first set, then lost the second set, but eventually beat 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro 7-6 (6), 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4; — six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer dropped his first set of the fortnight — against a man he was 10-0 against, no less — before righting himself to reach a 29th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal; — 18-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia became the youngest man in the Wimbledon quarterfinals since 1986, when Boris Becker went on to win his second title in a row; — 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych went out in straight sets against 10th-seeded Mardy Fish, who never before reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club but now is the last American, man or woman, left in the tournament. “Last. ... Not what you set out to do,” said Fish, who is 0-5 against Nadal heading into their quarterfinal. “It was, I guess, bad luck for the Williams sisters to lose. Unfortunate, I guess. They’ll be back, I’m sure.” They won’t be around for the women’s quarterfinals Tuesday, which are: Cibulkova of Slovakia vs. No. 5 Maria Sharapova of Russia, Bartoli of France vs. wild-card entry Sabine Lisicki of Germany, No. 8 Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic vs. Pironkova of Bulgaria, and No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus vs. Tamira Paszek of Austria. It’s the first time since 1913 that the last eight women at Wimbledon are from Europe — and, as it happens, eight countries are represented. Sharapova is the only quarterfinalist who’s won a Grand Slam title; her three major championships include Wimbledon in 2004. After a day off, the men play their quarterfinals Wednesday. In addition to Nadal vs. Fish — assuming Nadal decides to play after getting an MRI exam on his foot — the matchups are No. 2 Novak Djokovic vs. Tomic, No. 3 Federer vs. No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and No. 4 Murray vs. unseeded Feliciano Lopez. “I’m worried, for sure,” Nadal said.

New Blue Jacket center Jeff Carter moving forward COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — There may have been feelings of shock, anger and resentment when Jeff Carter discovered he had been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Blue Jackets last week. But that was last week. “I’m in Columbus now,” Carter said. “I’m not worried about what’s going on (in Philadelphia) anymore.” Indeed it may take some time for everyone to believe the high-scoring center is over his sudden deal to Columbus. But, on the surface at least, he’s putting on a good face. In a conference call with Ohio media on Monday, Carter began to move forward with his new club, and in particular, his new linemate, Rick Nash. “Anytime you can get a chance to play with Rick, it puts a smile on your face,” Carter said. “I’m excited to get out there and see what we can do together. A lot of people have been keying on him, and it’s not easy to do things by yourself. I’m looking forward to helping him out, and helping the team out.” Both could use it. Nash, a 6-foot-4, 218pound forward, has been the centerpiece of the Blue Jackets’ existence, and for the most part, has lived up to the billing that a No. 1 overall pick comes with. Selected in 2002, Nash has scored 30 or more goals six times, but has only led Columbus to the postseason once. The hope is that Carter can help change that. “The last eight or nine years, he’s been the real focal point,” Carter said of Nash. “I’m excited about really letting him develop into a better player than he is now.” The Blue Jackets and Flyers made a huge offseason splash last Thursday, when they finalized a longrumored deal that sent forward Jakub Voracek and two draft picks to Philadelphia for Carter, who scored 36 goals and was a plus-27 last year as the Flyers won the Atlantic Division. The Flyers needed to make salary-cap room for new goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, and despite the fact that Carter had been mentioned in rumors, and seemed a logical trim off the payroll, the deal still stunned many in and around the organization, including Carter. After all, Carter, 26, helped lead the Flyers to the Stanley Cup finals in 2010, and seemed like part of a nucleus that could again contend for a title next season. He was a 2003 firstround pick and had scored at least 30 goals in each of the last three seasons for Philadelphia. But the 6-3, 200pound forward made it clear on Monday that he’s mostly interested in talking about his new team now. “You look at the lineup now, we’ve got a lot of young players that are going to be really good,” he said. “It’s still a work in progress, but I think we can be pretty good.” In 2008-09, Columbus had 41 wins and 92 points, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time. They have not been back since, finishing below .500 in each of the last two seasons, registering 79 and 81 points, respectively. It’s that lack of success — and playing in the Eastern time zone as a Western Conference team — that has helped lead to a bout with anonymity in league circles. But again, that is something Carter hopes to change. “A lot of people don’t know much about us,” he said. “We’re still a work in progress. And if we can add a few more pieces to the puzzle, I don’t see any reason why we can’t contend for the playoffs this year.” DETROIT (AP) — A standout Indiana high school basketball player with the promise of playing at the University of Michigan is fighting for his life after surviving the second plane crash of his young life. Austin Hatch, 16, of Fort Wayne, Ind., was in critical condition Saturday in a northern Michigan hospital after the Friday evening crash that killed his father, Dr. Stephen Hatch, and his stepmother, Kim. Austin and his pilot father had survived a 2003 crash that killed Austin’s mother and two siblings. “He never talked about (the previous crash) one time,” said Dan Kline, the basketball coach at Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, Ind. “I’m sure he carried it inside.” Kline told The Associated Press that the next 24 to 48 hours are going to be critical, and described Austin as an A student who is physically and mentally strong — someone “who can handle things.” “He’s a very mature young man,” he said. “You’d never know he was 16 years old.” The teen was “the apple of his dad’s eye,” and Stephen Hatch took great delight and pride in his son’s athletic accomplishments, Dr. G. David Bojrab, a colleague and close friend of Austin’s father, told The Associated Press. Austin, a junior at Canterbury, committed earlier this month to play basketball at Michigan, where his father and mother went to school. He told the Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne for a story published last week that he talked to Michigan coach John Beilein by phone and accepted a full-ride scholarship. It was the first day that NCAA coaches could call recruits for the 2013 class, the newspaper said. “It was a very special moment for me,” Hatch told the newspaper. “There was no reason to wait. There’s nothing I don’t like about their program, and I couldn’t turn it down.” Kline, who spoke with Michigan coaches before the offer, told the newspaper it was Austin’s “dream” to play for Michigan. “They didn’t come right out and say it, but they told me he was a top priority in the state of Indiana,” he said. “They kept dropping hints.” Kline said Saturday the team is stunned. “Right now, we’re just trying to collect our thoughts and stick together,” he said. “They’re a close-knit group.” Bojrab said the Hatches were flying to their summer home on Walloon Lake in Michigan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula, where Stephen Hatch and his brothers all owned property, when his singleengine plane flew into a garage near the Charlevoix Municipal Airport. It was the same home Stephen Hatch and the family were returning from nearly eight years ago when they crashed in Indiana. “He was such a strong proponent of flying and teaching people to fly. ... I think he felt compelled to continue his passion,” said Bojrab, a partner with Hatch in Pain Management Associates in Fort Wayne. “He felt compelled to show people that accidents do happen. He didn’t want people to look in the other direction.” A 2005 federal report on the September 2003 crash found inaccurate preflight planning resulted in the plane not having enough fuel. The National Transportation Safety Board determined a utility pole the airplane hit during its forced landing, a low ceiling and dark night also contributed to the crash. Bojrab said his friend disputed the report’s findings, believing equipment failure caused the crash. “When he crashed, it was an inferno, which makes you wonder how he could have been out of gas,” Bojrab said. Hatch saved Austin, but his other children — Lindsay, 11, and Ian, 5 — died along with his wife, Julie, 38. “His wife and two children were in flames and he was never able to reach them,” Bojrab said. “Steve reached over to his son who was sitting in front with him and tossed him out the window to save his life.” Beilein said in a statement that the university was saddened to hear about the tragedy affect- ing the Hatches. “Austin needs as much support right now as possible and I know he will be in the thoughts and prayers of the Michigan family during this difficult time,” he said. Canterbury School said in a statement Saturday to “keep Austin and his family in your thoughts and prayers.” Bojrab said Stephen Hatch had planned to go to Spain to celebrate his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary with the rest of his family, but canceled the trip to spend time with Austin and his adult stepchildren. “Steve was a very big family man,” Bojrab said. Another of his passions was Smith Field Airport, a small, historic airport near Fort Wayne. Bojrab said Hatch led a campaign several years ago to save it and bought the Smith Field Service Center and its flight school. “He saved the property from being developed commercially,” Bojrab said, adding that Hatch was instrumental in getting it on the National Register of Historic Places. NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said investigators were on the scene Saturday and would be examining the aircraft, interviewing witnesses and requesting air traffic control communications and radar data. He expected a preliminary report within 10 days and a final report determining a cause within 18 months. Jacobson wins Travelers for first PGA Tour title CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Fredrik Jacobson promised 5year-old daughter Emmie that he would get her a trophy this year like the ones she saw other players holding up on TV. Promise kept. Jacobson closed out his first PGA Tour title Sunday, shooting a 4under 66 in the Travelers Championship for a one-stroke victory over John Rollins and Ryan Moore. “It’s been haunting me,” Jacobson said. “I’ve been on the board, I’ve been asked so many times from the kids, ‘Did you get a trophy this week daddy? Did you get a trophy this week?’ Nope, no trophy. So, I’m excited about that. I’m glad I’m not breaking that promise for her.” Jacobson, a 36-yearold Swede who joined the tour eight years ago and has three European Tour victories, had just one bogey in the tournament and finished at 20 under, two shots off the course record. “I was hitting so many fairways,” said Jacobson, who tied for 14th last week in the U.S. Open at Congressional. “It started clicking the end of last week. The last two days I struck the ball the best I ever have at the U.S. Open.” Jacobson hit all 28 fairways over the weekend. Rollins and Moore closed with 63s. Moore missed a 4-foot par putt on 18. “I’m not beating myself up over that putt,” he said. “That happens in golf.” “It was a pretty simple left-center putt, and I pushed it right into the middle of the hole and it just slipped by the side,” he said. Nineteen-year-old Patrick Cantlay, the UCLA star who had a 60 on Friday to break the tour record for an amateur, — finished at 11 under after weekend rounds of 72 and 70. He arrived to a loud ovation on the 18th green, but bogeyed the hole. “I just learned what it’s like to have a week on the PGA Tour, to make the cut and to compete with all the guys,” said Cantlay, the low amateur at Congressional last week. “This was just my second go-around and it was a lot of fun. The ovations are special every time.” Rollins had four consecutive birdies to start the back nine and gave himself a chance to win at 18, by making birdie after hitting his second shot 4-feet from the pin. “It seemed like every hole there was a roar going on, so you knew that guys were making birdies and all kinds of low numbers on the board,” he said. “So I just kept plugging along and staying with what I was doing and managed to get a good round.” Michael Thompson, a 31-year-old who came out of qualifying school this season, shot the best round of the day, a 62, including a 29 on the back nine.

Main St • Pomeroy, OH • 740-992-2955 fourth at 18 under. “It was very exciting, especially this being my dream to play on the PGA Tour,” he said. Jacobson was trying to become the first player since Lee Trevino in the 1974 Greater New Orleans Open to play 72 holes without a bogey. And he almost did it. He had 63 consecutive bogey-free holes before running into problems on the par-4 10th. His second shot went right, ending up resting against the cart path, but after taking relief and pitching onto the green, he couldn’t make a 12foot putt for par. “I caught a mud ball there on the right side,” he said. “You’ve just got to accept those. With a long iron, it can take off sideways so I got challenged there. But I think I dealt with it nicely and kept playing well.” Moore birdied his first three holes, making short putts on each and was 5 under for the day through the first seven holes. He hit his second shot on the par-5 13th about 262 yards to 10 feet of the pin, but missed his eagle putt. His birdie put him in a three-way tie for the lead. Moore made three more birdies in a row at Nos. 14-16 to got to 20 under and catch Jacobson again. But he hit into two sand traps on 18, before pitching inside 5 feet. “When you shoot 63 in the final round, there is not a whole lot to complain about,” he said. “My 18th hole is going to sting a little bit.” Jacobson’s second shot on 18 stopped up about 14 feet away, leaving him with an easy two-putt for the win. After tapping in, he threw both arms in the air as his caddie slipped the flag off the pin as a souvenir. He hopes it’s not his last. After all, he has two more kids. “Alice is 7 and Max is 3,” he said. “So they’re probably going to want one each now, too.” 148th Meigs County Fair GOOD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Good Food August 15-20 Amusement Rides For complete schedule and info go to www.themeigscountyfair.com Need a ride? 60 years or older?

The final terms are contingent upon a future ruling of who rightfully owns the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles Dodgers file for bankruptcy protection LOS ANGELES (AP) — Facing the painful prospect of stiffing players and employees, the Los Angeles Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court Monday, adding to off-the-field troubles that have hobbled one of baseball’s most storied franchises and setting up another showdown with Major League Baseball. Team owner Frank McCourt, upset baseball Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a multibillion-dollar TV deal last week, now hopes a federal judge will approve $150 million in financing to be used for daily operations and give him more time to seek a more favorable media contract. A hearing is set for Tuesday. The move by a cashstarved McCourt comes just days before he was expected to miss team payroll Thursday and possibly be confronted with an MLB takeover. The filing also means it’s unlikely a resolution over team ownership, a fight that began two years ago when McCourt and his ex-wife and former team CEO Jamie McCourt decided to divorce, will be found any time soon. Selig said in a statement that the bankruptcy filing has inflicted further harm upon the Dodgers. “We have consistently communicated to Mr. McCourt that any potential solution to his problems that contemplates mortgaging the future of the Dodgers franchise to the long-term detriment of the club, its loyal fans and the game of baseball would not be acceptable,” he said. “To date, the ideas and proposals that I have been asked to consider have not been consistent with the best interests of baseball.” Legal observers expect MLB to contest McCourt’s request for filing bankruptcy, arguing the dispute should remain within the confines of baseball and the league’s constitution allows Selig to take control of a team that seeks Chapter 11 protection. The main issue is whether “the bankruptcy court maintains control of the proceedings or acquiesce to baseball,” said Edward Ristaino, who chairs the sports practice at the law firm Akerman Senterfitt. “The courts recognize the special interests of the commissioner and give him great deal of deference. My sense is that won’t happen very quickly at all.” In court documents, team Vice Chairman Jeff Ingram cited a significant drop in attendance, contributing about 10 percent of Dodger revenues to the league’s sharing program last year and paying about $22 million in deferred compensation as reasons for filing bankruptcy. “To date, LAD has remained current in its obligations,” Ingram wrote. “However, LAD is now on the verge of running out of cash, the results of a perfect storm of events.” McCourt has taken out loans to stay afloat this season but his mounting financial problems were expected to balloon this week, when he owed tens of millions of dollars to meet payroll and other obligations. About $20 million is slated for current and deferred compensation by Thursday, while more than $18 million is required as a reserve to prefund money to be paid to players in 2012 under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, court documents show. The bankruptcy filing also noted a $67 million loan taken out against the parking lots at Dodger Stadium was set to mature on Thursday. It was expected McCourt was going to refinance the loan. “He’s clearly running very low on options right now,” said David Carter, executive director of USC Sports Business Institute. “What seems to be the case is a high-stakes chess game between Frank McCourt and MLB, and he’s running out of pieces. This is one of the uglier weeks in Dodger history.” Among the 40 largest unsecured claims, totaling about $75 million, are former Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez at nearly $21 million; Andruw Jones at $11 million; pitcher Hiroki Kuroda at $4.4 million; and the Chicago White Sox, which share a spring training facility with the Dodgers in Arizona, at $3.5 million. Longtime Dodger announcer Vin Scully is owed more than $150,000 as part of his contract, court documents show. Dodger officials said they reached out to numerous banks and investors and while several parties expressed interest in providing financing, they received only one commitment from Highbridge Principal Strategies. If approved by a judge, the financing would come in two chunks from the investment firm — $60 million up front with the remainder being paid at a later date. Tripp Kyle, a spokesman for the firm, declined to comment about the reasons the company decided to lend McCourt the money. “The rule or ruin philosophy that appears to have motivated today’s filing is bad for everyone who cares about, or has an interest in, the Dodgers,” David Boies, an attorney for Jamie McCourt, said. McCourt has defended his running of the team, saying he had made it profitable and successful. He also said the Dodgers have tried for almost a year to get Selig to approve the Fox transaction, which would have provided McCourt with $385 million up front and was vital to a binding settlement reached earlier this month by him and Jamie McCourt. “He’s turned his back on the Dodgers, treated us differently, and forced us to the point we find ourselves in today,” McCourt’s statement said. He was not made available for further comment Monday. Bob Daley, who was managing partner of the Dodgers when News Corp. owned the team, said Monday that McCourt had been “an embarrassment to this franchise.” “Fox, myself, and MLB made a horrible mistake in not doing the proper due diligence on Frank McCourt,” Daley said. “I helped get him approved and for my piece, I feel very bad about it.” The McCourts have been embroiled in a contentious divorce where their lavish spending habits were detailed in court documents. The former couple took out more than $100 million in loans from Dodger-related businesses, records show. In April, MLB took the extraordinary step of assuming control of the troubled franchise. Former Texas Rangers President Tom Schieffer was appointed to monitor the team on behalf of Selig, who said he took the action because he was concerned about the team’s finances and how the Dodgers are being run. The Dodgers’ filing follows the Rangers, who sought Chapter 11 protection in May of last year. The Rangers’ filing successfully pushed through Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan’s $590 million bid to buy the team. Creditors had stalled the deal for months, arguing that the team had rejected higher offers. The divorce settlement, now voided because of Selig’s decision, called for a one-day “characterization” trial Aug. 4 to determine if title to the Dodgers is in Frank McCourt’s name or if the team should be considered community property and sold. Robert Sacks, an attorney retained by Frank McCourt, said the trial may be shelved and Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon could decide how to handle the former couple’s assets at a later date. Gordon ruled in December that a postnuptial marital agreement that gave Frank McCourt sole ownership of the Dodgers was invalid. That cleared the way for Jamie McCourt, who served as the team’s CEO and was fired by her ex-husband two years ago, to seek half the team under California’s community property law. HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — This week, Cabell Midland’s Caleb Ross is in Morgantown going through orientation at West Virginia University in preparation for this fall when he starts his quest as a Division I athlete. As Ross is putting the pieces together for his future as a pitcher for the Mountaineers, he is also being honored for the work he did during his senior season with the Knights. Ross was named the 2011 West Virginia State Baseball Player of the Year, as voted on by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. “It’s a great feeling to have. It feels like all the work that my teammates and I put in paid off,” Ross said. “There were great players in the state and to be on top helps propel me into college.” Cabell Midland spent much of the season atop the unofficial rankings statewide, and Ross was much of the reason why. The left-hander finished 11-0 on the season while boasting of a 0.36 earned run average for the Knights, who finished the season 23-5 and fell in the Class AAA, Region IV championship to Nitro. On the year, Ross fin- ished with 106 strikeouts while walking just 13 in 58 innings. Going against the state’s best in the Mountain State Athletic Conference, he allowed just 28 hits and four earned runs on the year. Ross was at his best in the postseason where he dominated in his three appearances, going 3-0 and allowing just one run in 19 innings while striking out 31 and walking just one batter. Cabell Midland coach Tracy Brumfield said that Ross was at his best under pressure. In two elimination games against Huntington and Hurricane, Ross allowed just one run and five hits total in 12 innings of work. “He wanted the ball in those situations and he has the mindset and the guts to go out and get it done,” Brumfield said. “Against Hurricane in the regional semis, there was a game-tying runner on third with no outs in the seventh, but he put it on himself to shut them down with his defense behind him.” Ross gave much of the credit to his teammates for helping him achieve the award during his senior season, and added that he would have gladly traded his accolades to see them all celebrating in Charleston at the end of the year. “All the memories made with teammates at games were awesome. I love those guys and we’re all really close,” Ross said. “The only thing that doesn’t feel right is that we didn’t get a state championship out of it.” The Player of the Year award caps a stellar high school career for Ross with Cabell Midland. In addition to being the Class AAA All-State captain in 2011, Ross was a 2010 Class AAA FirstTeam All-State selection and a Class AAA AllState second-team selection as a sophomore in 2009. Brumfield said that Ross’ growth throughout his high-school career is what he’ll remember most. “It’s impressive how much he grew up over the years — both attitudewise and as a player,” Brumfield said. “Early in his career, he was more of a thrower than a pitcher. From last year to this year, his ability to get ahead in the count helped him to finish a lot of games that he couldn’t before.” Over his three-year career with the Knights, Ross had a combined record of 28-3.
