‘Burg students make prom promise
Students see the graphic
danger of drunk driving
Ryan Scott Ottney
PDT Staff Writer
WHEELERSBURG
—
The twisted wreckage of a
student’s car sat in the parking
lot of Wheelersburg School on
Friday, with three students inside feigning unconsciousness
and covered in fake blood as
rescue workers struggled to
free survivors. The entire scenario, thankfully, was staged
and unfolded before the eyes
of high school students as a
graphic warning about the
dangers of drunk driving.
The mock crash was a demonstration for Wheelersburg
High School’s Prom Promise, in advance of the school’s
prom which was Friday night.
“It’s a chance for us to show
the kids the scary part of
what happens when someone
makes a decision like drinking
alcohol and getting behind the
wheel of a car, and the impact
that it has,” said Wheelersburg
High School Principal Matthew McCorkle. “For most
kids, they are kind of like,
‘wow,’ because they’ve never
been around that.”
The storyline followed a student, played by senior Kelsey
Allen, whom after prom was
drunk and texting while driving when she crashed her
vehicle with three friends inside. Students watched from
across the parking lot as Porter Township Fire and ambulance services arrived, along
with the Ohio State Highway
Patrol and other emergency

John Williams used to be shy and
reserved. Then he went to Washington D.C. and spoke before legislative
aides to U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown
about Carl Perkins Funding which
funds vocational schools. He took a
course in public speaking, and now
he has become an eloquent spokesperson for the Masonry program
at Scioto County Career Technical
Center.
“I’m the South-Central Regional
Treasurer,” Williams said. “They
taught me how to speak better and
they taught me leadership skills.”
Friday morning, he was proudly
working with his instructor, Larry
Moore, and other students putting
the finishing touches on the installation of bricks honoring past and
present members of the U.S. military.
“This goes clear back,” Williams
said. “There’s a few Civil War, there’s
World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Operation Iraqi
Freedom clear to today.”
Williams said the group had been
working on the wall for about three
weeks.
“I’m proud of this. I’m a member
of the Ohio Army National Guard.
And this makes me real proud,” Williams said.
Moore has roots in the SCCTC as
well.

prescription drug abuse
is an epidemic in Ohio.
Prescription pain medications, such as oxycodone,
morphine, and methadone,
are largely responsible
for increasing numbers of
overdoses and deaths in
Ohio. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) says

President of Portsmouth City Council Steve Sturgill
says he agrees with comments made in a Friday Daily
Times story by New Boston Village Administrator Steve
Hamilton.
“I have talked to Steve Hamilton. He called me just to
talk a little bit about the issue,” Sturgill said. “And the one
thing that I definitely agree with in that article was that I
am flabbergasted that this continues to be an issue.”
Sturgill said he brought the issue up at a City Council
meeting in January of 2012.
“It’s about a 16-month saga for me,” Sturgill said. “I
think that there has been close to $800,000 in consultant
money spent on this particular project, and it not only affects Portsmouth. It does affect New Boston.”
Sturgill said it will be on the agenda at Monday night’s
Portsmouth City Council meeting.
“We’ll request another, I believe, about $70,000 to continue to try to fix this,” Sturgill said. “I think most of that
money is in just consultant work. We haven’t even begun
to do the project yet.”
According to the agenda, Council will be asking for
$22,000 for Howerton Engineering and Surveying and
$61,750 for AMEC Environment and Infrastructure to
be paid from Flood Defense Fund No. 265 “for additional
engineering services to complete the certification of the
flood defense system.”
Meanwhile, First Ward Portsmouth City Councilman
Kevin Johnson has come up firing in a response to those
comments made by Hamilton that Portsmouth government leaders do not respond and do not return calls.

Brown proposes Medicaid Lock-In legislation
Frank Lewis
Ten juveniles and six adults were arrested when state
law enforcement and the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office
raided an after-prom drinking party in Minford last weekend.
According to the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, the
party was located at the corner of State Route 335 and
Blake Hollow in Minford, taking place shortly after midnight on Sunday, May 5.
“Our agency received information regarding a large
party that was going to take place involving the underage consumption of alcohol,” said Eric Wolf, the agent
in charge of investigation for the Ohio Investigative Unit.
“We found the party and observed what was taking place
there and identified what appeared to be several underage
individuals — persons under 21 years of age consuming
alcohol.”
He could not estimate how many people were at the
party, but called it “a good-sized party” and said most of
the activity was happening outside the residence.
“With the number of individuals at this party, the Ohio
Investigative Unit requested the assistance and the (Scioto
County) Sheriff’s Office responded to assist,” Wolf said.
Arrested was Kristi Clark, age 42, and 15 others age

I’m reintroducing the ‘Stop

It would require national
adoption of Medicaid
Lock-In programs. Ohio
now has one, but none can

Brown said it does the
same for pharmacies, cutting down on the practice
of pharmacy hopping by
Medicaid patients who
abuse prescription drugs.
“One of the messages we
have here at the Ohio Department of Public Safety
and the Investigative Unit
is that ‘parents who host,

to encourage parents not
to provide alcohol to their

said.
He explained that under
Ohio law there are four exemptions to the underage
drinking law: 1) parents
can legally provide alcohol
to their own children, but
not to others; 2) if married,
a spouse of legal drinking
age can provide alcohol;
3) a doctor can prescribe
alcohol as part of a medication; and 4) alcohol can
be given as part of a recognized religious ceremony.
All 16 were issued a
summons at the scene and
were not taken to jail, but
it is still considered an arrest, Wolf said. The underage suspects were released
into the custody of their
parents or guardians. They

underage consumption of
alcohol, which Wolf said is
first-degree misdemeanor.
Those age 18 and older will

the 10 underage suspects
will be processed through
the juvenile system.

Portsmouth Daily Times Saturday, May 11, 2013 3
Williams disagrees with proposed muncipal tax legislation
Frank Lewis
PDT Staff Writer
Portsmouth City Auditor
Trent Williams has joined municipal fiscal officers across the
state in opposing House Bill 5.
House Bill 5 is a municipal tax
bill co-sponsored by Ohio House
Majority Whip Cheryl Grossman
(R-Grove City) and Rep. Mike
Henne (R-Vandalia). It was introduced to the Ohio General
Assembly on Jan. 30, 2013 with
the proposed purpose of promoting uniformity and simplicity
within Ohio’s municipal income
tax structure while maintaining
a degree of revenue neutrality for
all municipalities involved.
“As Ohio’s treasurer and watchdog of Ohioans’ hard-earned dollars, I am proud to stand up to
support sanity and fiscal responsibility in state and local government. That’s why I urge the Ohio
legislature to pass House Bill 5 in
order to simplify Ohio’s municipal income-tax system,” State
Treasurer Josh Mandel said in an
e-mail to the Daily Times. “Ohio
is the only state in which every
city and village sets its own rules
and regulations about who must
pay taxes, how much and on
what type of income. More than
600 local government entities
have devised more than 300 different tax forms. As a result, our
municipal-tax reality is an unnecessary maze of inconsistency,
uncertainty and inefficiency.”
Williams said he disagrees
with the premise of the bill and
cites two points directly from the
Ohio Legislative Service Commission Revised Fiscal Note and
Local Impact Statement under
Local Fiscal Highlights. “The
bill’s provisions are likely to create, overall, a net revenue loss to
municipalities, beginning with
taxable years starting on or after
Jan. 1, 2015. The revenue impact
on a specific municipality will be
dependent on changes made by
the bill and the Municipal Tax
Policy Board to existing income
tax ordinances. Though total
revenue losses to municipalities
are undetermined, they may be
significant, potentially millions
of dollars annually.”
“Certain provisions may increase costs to municipalities to
conform to changes required by
the bill and the Municipal Tax
Policy Board.”
“These first two highlights
alone, cause caution and question to me and I think most
municipalities in that the bill is
setup for us to lose revenue and
increase our expenses,” Williams
said. “In addition to the fact that
HB5 will take away local administrative control and enforcement
and place it in the hands of the
State. This doesn’t align with the
way local governments were intended to self-govern, especially
under home rule municipalities.
Another concern shared by many
local governments would be with
the State then, no doubt, taking
the next step toward centralized
collections especially given the
distrust from the reduction of
Local Government Funds.”
In supporting the bill, Mandel
said, “For example, an electrician in Minster was required to
file 39 different municipal tax
forms last year. He owed a tax to
every city he visited in a single
workday, even if he was there for
10 minutes or less. If he worked
in any one of those municipalities more than 12 days in a year,
he was required to file its tax
forms.”
Williams said he too is in favor
of streamlining the system, but
not the way HB5 structures it.
“I think we are all for allowing business to flourish and for
greater uniformity in the administration of municipal income
tax. I know that the Ohio Municipal League, of which the City
of Portsmouth is a member, has
been working in good faith to
bring about improvements in a
responsible approach to the local
tax systems without gutting local budgets and reducing the vital services we provide every day
to local citizens,” Williams said.
Williams said the City of
Portsmouth, as with most all municipalities in Ohio, is still suffering from and dealing with the

effects of severe budget cuts and
revenue loss from the phase-out
of tangible personal property tax
and promised reimbursements,
the elimination of estate tax and
most recently the 50 percent reduction of the local government
funding, a fund that was set up
decades ago to help provide municipalities with basic services.
“The Local Government fund
has now been cut in half in order to balance the State’s budget
and provide it with a surplus,”
Williams said. “For the City of
Portsmouth, these cuts have resulted in a reduction in revenue
over the past few years of over
$1.2 million annually. In a $9 to
10 million General Fund budget,
that is pretty substantial, contributing greatly to the City’s
2012 year-end General Fund deficit balance of -$900,000.”
Mandel said more than 20 organizations representing thousands of Ohioans agree that the
multitude of municipal incometax regulations on the books
stifles economic growth. Small
businesses are supporting this
legislation not because they believe they will pay less in taxes
but because they hope to spend
less time and money on confusing bureaucracy and more on
creating jobs. If local businesses
are able to invest in increasing
sales and productivity instead of
funding an army of compliance
officers, it will be a net positive
for job growth.
Ohio United, an advocacy
group for Ohio’s cities, opposes
HB5 on grounds that it “redefines ‘taxable income,’ in many
cases significantly reducing tax
revenue to cities and villages;
puts control of local income
tax policy in the hands of a bureaucratic policy board totally
disconnected from the community in which the taxpayers live
(versus local city council members); defers collection dates
and delinquency dates such that
significant negative cash flow effects will hurt communities’ ability to finance local government;
makes tax policy more complex,
not less.”
It also says that while the overall goal of uniformity and cost
reduction is desirable, HB 5 does
not achieve that goal.
“It is my hope that our State
Representatives will work with
our local governments to achieve
a significant business friendly,
revenue neutral, responsible approach toward more uniformity
in our municipal income tax systems along with returning Local
Government Funds to local governments,” Williams said.

KSP seeking dangerous fugitive
Bob Strickley
PDT Content Manger
The Kentucky State Police are
seeking the public’s reasonable assistance in finding fugitive Jason
C. Brown, 30, of Huntington, W.Va.
The suspect is wanted on multiple
drug charges and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Brown is facing charges of
four first degree felonies of
trafficking in a controlled substance by the KSP. He is also
wanted on a first degree charge
of a persistent felony offender.
The charges stem from an extensive drug investigation involving
the purchase of illegal substances
from Brown.
The KSP is asking the public for
any information related to this case
or the location of Brown. Callers
may remain anonymous and can
call the KSP at 606-928-6421.

Claims
comes from blocked Portsmouth sewer lines, Hamilton told council.”
“We get our stuff done,”
Hamilton said. “We got
problems up here and it’s
not all because New Boston. I’m sick of being a
step-child to Portsmouth.”
According to the Ohio
EPA, they began sending
letters to the village in
2005 asking for a longterm sewer control plan
that would divide the village’s current combined
sewer system into two
separate lines — one
sewer line and one storm
water line. Chief among
their concerns is the village’s combined sewer
overflows (CSO), which
is what occurs when too
much water and sewage
flow through the sewer
lines. When that happens, the excess flow
will bypass the two pump
stations and dump into
the river. The EPA is
also concerned about instances of overflows happening inside residential
basements.
“This problem was supposed to be taken care
of two-and-a-half years
ago. Well, it’s not been
taken care of,” Hamilton
said. “This is not a New
Boston problem — well,
it is a New Boston problem now that it has been
brought to the city’s attention many times. I’m
sick of playing phone
games with Portsmouth
over this stuff.”
Johnson had a differing
assertion.
“I made best efforts to
get our two councils to
meet together and discuss these issues, so we
all understood where we
are going, and what we
needed to do,” Johnson
said Friday morning. “But
not one response from
them. And then to read
this crap this morning,
lets just say - my head
blew a gasket.”
Johnson produced several e-mails tracing the
communication. In an email dated June 28, 2012,
Village Councilman Mike
Payton wrote, “As per our
conversation this morning, I am forwarding this
to you for your thoughts:
I was glad you are interested in a combined
meeting of the two councils (NB & Ports). Among
possible discussion points
that I would like to see on
a proposed agenda are the
following: *Discussion on
the current floodwall certification status. *Discussion on the sewer situation
in both Portsmouth and
New Boston and Federal/
State EPA involvement.
Please feel free to add to
this list as you see fit. As
we discussed this morning, I am in total agreement more communication
lines need to be opened
between both councils as
more situations involving
the two communities are
continuing to evolve. This
is absolutely no reflection
on any staff working for
either entity but just the
nature of political bureaucracy. I would recommend
that any such meeting be
held no earlier than 6 p.m.
due to several councilmen
in both cities having jobs
where daytime meetings
are impossible. I also recommend that both solicitors are present as well as
mayors and selected staff.
One final recommendation
is that we have this meeting sooner than later. I
propose by mid July. I look
forward to receiving your
thoughts.”
Johnson said he and
then-president of Council
John Haas sent a series of
e-mails, with no response.
Johnson said in a Jan. 13,
2013 e-mail sent to New
Boston officials, he reacted to a story in the Daily
Times with, “Last year, in
response to an e-mail from
Mike Payton on June 28
(see below) I tried my best
to schedule a joint meeting
of our respective city-township executives and councils; to no avail… not even
after the issue appeared
in the Portsmouth Daily
Times (see http://portsmouth- dailytimes.com/
b o o k m a rk / 1 9 1 6 3 3 5 6 ) .
(that story was dated July
1, 2012, and read, in part
- ‘Members of two different councils are calling for
a joint meeting to go over
several important issues.
After a conversation, New
Boston Village Councilman Mike Payton sent an
e-mail to First Ward Portsmouth City Councilman
Kevin Johnson.’) Not one
response from any of you
to numerous e-mails that
I and others had sent or
forwarded you concerning
this potential to open lines
of communication, work
towards addressing mutual issues of concern and,
thereby, potentially avoiding
misunderstandings,
lack of advance warning
and flare-ups as we all saw
in this morning’s paper.”
Johnson said, again,
there was no response. He
said Haas tried to set up
a format that would set a
meeting in Portsmouth followed by a meeting in New
Boston. He said there was
still no response
“I mentioned to the mayor (James Warren), come
on, if you’re upset with us,
either incorporate with
Portsmouth, or set up your
own services,” Johnson
said. “If you won’t even
talk to us, for God’s sake,
and you want to go to the
paper, give me a break.”
But leaving the city’s
sewer system isn’t an option for the village, Hamilton said, because of a 30year agreement the village
and city signed in 1991. In
that contract, New Boston
agreed to maintain all of
the sewer lines that pass
through the village, and
the city would maintain all
of the sewer lift stations,
and the village would receive no revenue from the
city sewer rates.
“We’d love to go back
to negotiations on that
agreement. If they want
to go back to negotiate the
agreement of the sewage,
we’d love to do it before
the eight years (remaining) is up,” Hamilton said.
Meanwhile,
Johnson
said he met with Portsmouth
Mayor
David
Malone Friday morning.
“I understood from the
Mayor (Malone) that the
direct cause was the fact
that we had to increase our
water rates, and they (New
Boston officials) wanted
special dispensation for
their residents, and the
mayor had to say no, we
can’t do that,” Johnson
said.
“We have deficits to make
up. We have infrastructure to improve, the EPA
mandates. As far as cost
increase, they ain’t seen
nothin’ yet. If we’ve got to
fund, say, a minimum of
$20 million, EPA-mandated
CSO clean-up, rates for sewage and water have got to go
up again just to fund that.”
Johnson said he had also
attended the Scioto County
Health Coalition meeting
Friday morning.
“Everyone’s
talking.
We’re getting things done.
I’m so excited about the
way things happen,” Johnson said. “What our problems are - we sit down
and try to analyze and fix
them. But if you can’t get
a response from a governmental body whatsoever,
how can you do it?”
Hamilton said Friday
the city and the village met
as far back as 2007 to talk
about the problem, but so
far the city hasn’t done anything to fix it. He said this
isn’t a problem for village or
city councils, but instead for
the administrators responsible for day-to-day business
of their community.
“Our council don’t do
day-to-day business. I
went through the right
people; I went through the
Portsmouth Mayor, I went
through the Portsmouth
Sewer Director,” Hamilton
said. “I didn’t know that
we had to go through council to get day-to-day stuff
done, but now I had to take
it to (New Boston) council
because the problem didn’t
get fixed.”
Sturgill indicated he
agreed.
“I am a City Council
member and president
of City Council,” Sturgill
said. “We do not operate
the day-to-day operations
of the city of Portsmouth.
That is not our charge. But
as we continue, as council
people, to ask to spend
these sums of money on
these issues, I have a real
problem with it. And I
think that the community
needs to know what is be-
ing done with regards to
these issues.”
Hamilton said his door is
always open to any members
of Portsmouth City Council
who would like to talk.

‘Seeking Jesus’ Conference
In celebration of what
former Pope Benedict has
called “The Year of Faith,”
the Scioto County Deanery is inviting thousands
to join them for a weekend-long “Seeking Jesus”
conference at Notre Dame
School next month.
“It is open to all of the
Catholic churches, but
we’ve actually sent invitations to all of the Diocese
of Columbus, the Diocese
of Steubenville including
Ironton and all the local
churches in our area, the
local churches in West
Virginia — Huntington
and beyond, Cincinnati,
and our dioceses south of
us, which is Lexington,
Kentucky,” said Fr. Joe
Yokum, dean of the Scioto
County Deanery.
The Deanery includes
all seven Catholic parishes
in Scioto County, and is
the only deanery in the
Columbus Diocese celebrating the Year of Faith
in this manner.
“My vision for this, when
I first wanted to do it, was
to help us understand what
Pope Benedict was calling
for in the Year of Faith. His
opening words in his letter
decreeing this is that we,
as a people of God, should
begin to meditate upon the
words of what it means to
say ‘I believe.’ My vision
for this is to put our people
here in Scioto County and
give them an experience of
their faith which would really excite them and allow
Fr. Larry Richards
them to be on fire for the
things that the Lord is asking in their lives right here
and to make it accessible
to anyone,” Yokum said.
The conference will take
place during the weekend
of June 1, at Notre Dame
High School in Portsmouth, beginning at 9 a.m.
“We will have two fantastic speakers. Father
Larry Richards is the
founder of ‘The Reason
for Our Hope Foundation’
out of Eerie, Pa. He is a
world-renowned speaker,
famous for his work at the
University of Steubenville,
and beyond. He’s directed
hundreds of retreats and
parish missions and conferences around the country and around the world,”
Yokum said.
More information about
Fr. Richards is available
online at www.thereasonforourhope.org.
Also speaking is Vinny Flynn from Eternal
Word Television Network
(EWTN) and Bishop Frederick Campbell from the
the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus.
“The other thing that
we will have throughout
the weekend is the Vatican’s Traveling Exhibit for
Eucharistic Miracles of
the World, which is pretty
awesome to have a Vatican
exhibit right here in Scioto County,” Yokum said.
“There will be 140 different
panels that travel with this
sort of outdoor setup that
looks throughout the ages
in various countries that
these Eucharistic miracles
have occurred. The healings and other things that
have taken place through
the Holy Eucharist, which
we believe is truly the
body, the blood and presence of Jesus Christ.”
Bishop Campbell will deliver the closing Mass at 3
p.m. on Sunday, June 2.
Admission comes with
a $10 donation for individuals, or $30 for families
(three or more people).
Food will also be available
for another donation with
no minimum requirement.
Money raised by the conference will be used to pay
the speakers’ fees and visitation costs.

Measure passed to unify
Asian carp prevention efforts
Frank Lewis
PDT Staff Writer
During debate of a critical water resources development bill, the U.S. Senate passed an amendment Wednesday
introduced by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
(D-OH) that would help prevent the invasion of Asian carp in the Ohio and Upper
Mississippi River Basins.
The bipartisan amendment to the Water
Resources Development Act — cosponsored by U.S. Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH),
Pat Toomey (R-PA), Robert P. Casey (DPA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Amy Klobuchar
(D-MN), and Al Franken (D-MN)— is
based on the Strategic Response to Asian
Carp Invasion Act, which Brown introduced earlier this year. It would enable the
federal government to have a more effective partnership with state and local entities that are working to slow the spread of
Asian carp. The amendment passed by a
vote of 95-0.
“Protecting the Great Lakes region and
the Ohio River basin from Asian carp is
about protecting our regional economy
and the livelihood of thousands of Ohioans,” Brown said. “This amendment will
stop Asian carp from entering streams
and rivers—like the Ohio River and the
Little Miami— and secure the economic
drivers shoring up Ohio’s multi-million
dollar fishing and recreation industries.”
Brown said, although several federal
agencies have been working to combat
Asian carp, none have been designated
as the lead agency to coordinate the federal response with state and local partners in the Ohio and Upper Mississippi
River Basins.
“The Strategic Response to Asian Carp
Invasion Act places the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in charge of coordinating a new federal multi-agency effort that
includes the National Park Service, U.S.
Geological Survey, and Army Corps of
Engineers,” Brown said. “These agencies
would provide high-level technical assistance, coordination, best practices, and
other means of support to state and local
governments that are working to protect
economies and ecosystems in the Ohio
River basin from Asian carp.”

Reds activate C Hanigan off DL
Joe Kay
AP Baseball Writer
CINCINNATI — The
Reds activated catcher
Ryan Hanigan off the disabled list for the start of
a series on Friday night
against the Milwaukee
Brewers, getting them a little closer to full-strength.
Hanigan went on the 15day disabled list on April
21 with a strained left
oblique. He played three
games on a medical rehabilitation assignment this
week, going 3 for 8 with
Triple-A Louisville.
The pulled muscle in
his side wasn’t his only
injury. Hanigan has been
bothered by a sore thumb
on his left hand most of
the season. He batted only
.079 in 12 games before
the injury, going 3 for 38
with no homers and two
RBIs. The two weeks off
also allowed him to regain
his strength in the thumb.
“I think it healed up
pretty good,” Hanigan
said. “It’s never going to
be 100 percent, but I didn’t
have any strength for a
while. Having that back is
important.”
Hanigan is Cincinnati’s
best defensive catcher,
throwing out 75 percent of
runners trying to steal this
season.
“We’ve got to get him
back to where he was before,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He shuts down
the running game.”
The Reds designated
catcher Corky Miller for
assignment to open a spot.
Miller batted .125 in six
games with no homers or
RBIs.
The Reds still have five
players on the disabled
list, including left fielders
Ryan Ludwick and Chris
Heisey and top starter
Johnny Cueto. Cueto made
his first rehab start on
Thursday night for Class
A Dayton, allowing four
hits and one run in three
innings without problem.
He’s expected to make at
least one more start before
being activated.
Ludwick, the Reds’
cleanup hitter, tore cartilage in his right shoulder
while diving into base in
the season opener and is
expected to miss at least
half the season. Heisey
took over and pulled his
right hamstring, going on
the disabled list April 29.
Heisey is expected to start
a rehab assignment soon.

Cincinnati activated catcher Ryan Hanigan from the 15-day

Slone’s Sidelines:
Extraordinary
Expectations
We live in a day and age where
professional athletes are considered to be super human.
We expect the extraordinary,
in many ways, we demand the
extraordinary. For “superstar
athletes,” success and failure
has never been more vague.
Winning championships simply
isn’t enough anymore.
Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose is a prime example
of the expectations garnered
by sports fans. Rose tore a ligament in his knee April 28, 2012

the first round of the playoffs.
Editor
More than a year later, Rose still
hasn’t appeared in a game for
the Bulls even though he was
given a clean bill of health in January, but insists he still
isn’t ready to play.
Whether Rose is right or wrong is insignificant because
in the end, it’s ultimately his decision when he plays again.
Rose has taken constant heat from fans and the media for
his decision, or lack there of.
A superstar athlete tears his ACL and decides to err on
the side of caution , so chaos ensues. When did this super
human fantasy become reality? If we get to set our own
expectations or guidelines so-to-speak, I want to know
why the Wile E. Coyote never out smarted the Road Runner. How many times can you get an anvil dropped on
your head before you learn your lesson?
Okay, lets get back on topic.
Through no fault of their own, sports fans have become
spoiled. We want to see Boston Red Sox’s Curt Schilling
take the mound at Fenway Park with a bloody sock, preparing to battle the St. Louis Cardinals in game two of
the 2004 World Series. Sports fans strive for those larger
than life moments.

Cincinnati first round pick Tyler Eifert, left, will be a part of the Bengals’ new two tight-end look they will look to
incorporate this fall.
Bengals get started on 2 tight-end offense
Joe Kay
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI — Tyler Eifert
lined up here, there and just about
everywhere during his first practice with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Felt like old times.
The Bengals got started on
their new tight end-heavy passing
game Friday at the start of a weekend rookie minicamp. A lot of the
focus was on Eifert, chosen in the
first round to give quarterback
Andy Dalton another target.
Eifert lined up in a lot of different spots at Notre Dame. Judging
by the first day of practice in Cincinnati, he’s going to be doing the
same thing in the NFL.
“A lot of the things I’m learning
are a lot of the same plays we had
in with two tight ends — move me
around in different positions,” Eifert said. “Today I was out in the
slot quite a bit. I think I’m picking
it up pretty fast.”
With Dalton watching from the
sideline, Eifert made a nice onehand catch during the morning
workout, a preview of what he
can bring to an offense that’s been
overly dependent upon receiver
A.J. Green.
The Bengals haven’t added another proven receiver in the offseason. Rather, they took Eifert
with the 21st overall pick, figuring his ability to catch the ball in
a crowd — he set a Notre Dame
recover for catches by a tight end
— will give them some versatility
and force defenses to worry about
someone other than Green.
Eifert lined up as a tight end
on either side and also as a slot
receiver during practice. The biggest challenge was learning the
Bengals’ language for each play
and the pass protections.
“I think I picked it up better
than I thought I would at first,”
Eifert said. “It’s not a whole lot,
but it’s definitely something new
for me. I’m catching on pretty
quickly and moving around quite
a bit.”
The Bengals would like to use
him along with tight end Jermaine
Gresham, their first overall pick in
2010. The New England Patriots
have shown that a two-tight end
approach can keep defenses off
balance, provided that both can
catch the ball.
New England’s Tom Brady set
career highs in yards passing and
touchdowns in 2011, using his
tight ends generously. Defenses
had trouble handling both Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in the two-tight end approach.

Bryant getting second chance
Tom Withers
AP Sports Writer
BEREA — Armonty
Bryant was afraid his NFL
career had ended before it
even started.
The Browns, though, are
giving the troubled seventhround draft pick one more
chance — his last chance.
Arrested last week for
driving under the influence in Oklahoma, Bryant,
who also had a felony drug
charge last October while
in college, participated Friday with Cleveland’s other
new players and undrafted
free agents on the first day
of Cleveland’s rookie minicamp.
But before taking the
field, Bryant met with
Browns coach Rob Chudz-
inski and apologized.
“He’s very remorseful for
the things that have happened,” Chudzinski said
following practice. “He
understands me and what
I expect from him and is
ready to make amends.”
Bryant, who was given
a deferred one-year jail
sentence after pleading no
contest to the DUI charge,
said he feared the Browns
might cut ties with him
following his latest arrest.
Meeting with reporters after the workout was moved
indoors by thunderstorms,
he vowed to make it up to
the Browns — and not disappoint them again.
“I’m just fortunate the
Browns still have faith in
me,” the soft-spoken Bryant
said. “Hopefully I can win a
spot on this 53-man roster.
I just made a stupid mistake at the time. But now
I’m just going to let my actions speak for me.”
Bryant was arrested last
Friday near the football stadium at East Central University, where he starred
for the Division II program.
His blood-alcohol level was
0.098 percent — over the
state legal limit of 0.08. As
part of his sentence, Bryant is required to attend a
victim impact panel, obtain
a substance abuse assessment and pay $1,136 in
court costs.
The Browns knew they
were taking a risk when
they drafted the 6-foot-4,
263-pound Bryant, who
was arrested last year for
twice selling marijuana to
an undercover police officer on campus.
Chudzinski said the
Browns discussed all of
their options — including
releasing Bryant — before
deciding to have him report
to camp.
“It’s a serious matter,”
the Browns’ first-year coach
said. “Now that Armonty’s
gotten here I had a chance
to sit down with him and
talk about my expectations
and make those expectations clear with him. I feel
like we have a good support
structure here and I feel
like we have good guys in
the locker room, some guys
that were excellent mentors
that any player that follows
their example — if you

Bryant
look at D’Qwell Jackson,
if you look at Davone Bess
and those guys — will learn
how to be a professional.
“Ultimately,
Armonty
needs to show that he’s going to be accountable and I
expect that out of him.”
Bryant said he has made
lifestyle changes in the
wake of his latest criminal
charges.
He understands that he
can’t make another mistake. His recent, self-inflicted difficulties have put an
uncomfortable spotlight on
him and he knows there can
be no more missteps or his
dream of playing pro football will be over.
“It’s been tough lately,”
said Bryant, who added he
apologized to Chudzinski
“multiple” times. “I’ve just
been able to move forward
with it, the whole situation
and thankfully the Browns
still have faith in me and
they just let me come out
here and have a second
chance. … I’m a football
player and I came here to
play football, so that’s what
I’m going to do.”
After the Browns selected Bryant with the first of
their two picks in the seventh round, he pledged to
have moved on from his legal problems, saying “good
people make mistakes.” But
before he put on his orange
helmet for the first time he
was arrested again.
Chudzinski was asked if
he thought Bryant’s apology was sincere.
“Time will tell,” he said.
“You have to give guys
every chance, every opportunity, and I feel really
good about the structure
that we’ll have around him
to give him every chance.
He’ll be evaluated consistently and constantly just
like all our players are, and
time will tell.”
Grateful for his second
chance, Bryant knows he
must show the Browns he
can play at a high level and
behave.
“I still have a lot to
prove,” he said. “I’m still a
D-2 pick, so you know, I’ll
always have that chip on my
shoulder. This just makes it
a bigger chip.”
NOTES: During practice, all eyes were on first-
round pick Barkevious
Mingo, the No. 6 overall selection from LSU. Mingo’s
listed weight is 240 and
there has been discussion
about whether he needs
to bulk up. Mingo broke
up laughing when he was
asked if he thought he was
skinny. “aw, I think I’m just
fine the way I am,” he said.
Chudzinski said it’s possible
the Browns will ask Mingo
to add some weight. “That
remains to be seen,” he
said. “Different guys have
different body types and
different weights they play
the best at.” … Cornerback
Joe Haden and linebacker
Paul Kruger were engaged
spectators as both have
younger brothers trying
out. Josh Haden is a running back and Dave Kruger is a defensive lineman.
“The big brothers were
real interested in those
guys,” Chudzinski said.
… Browns owner Jimmy
Haslam, whose Pilot Flying J truck-stop chain is
under federal investigation for fraud, watched
part of practice.
Bengals
From Page 6
1,327 yards that season. Hernandez had
79 for 910.
“You look at that year, and a lot of people
don’t realize that Tom had his best statistical season ever in history,” said running
back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who was with
New England then. “We threw the ball numerous times. We ran the ball three to five
times a game.
“Of course, that’s not what you want to
do when you’re a running back. But we
were winning games. It was a shock to
the league that year. It can actually be a
great thing when you have two guys who
can catch the ball. It takes a lot of pressure
off what you can do because you had to
prepare for all those guys.”
Dalton thinks that having two tight ends
who can catch the ball will make defenses
vulnerable somewhere. Dalton wasn’t al-
lowed to work out with the rookies during
minicamp. He left the field as the morning
workout was wrapping up.
“You get the matchup of the tight ends
on the linebackers and safeties,” Dalton
said recently. “So I think he’s going to be
a great addition. He’s going to make Jermaine a better player. I’m excited to get
him in here and get working with him.”
NOTES: The Bengals signed seventhround picks OT Reid Fragel from Ohio
State and center T.J. Johnson from South
Carolina, the first of their draft picks to
agree to contracts. … LB J.K. Schaffer,
who was signed to the practice squad last
season, participated in the workouts. “I
was on the practice squad last year and I
just never got that many quality reps with
the actual calls and making adjustments,”
Schaffer said. “I think it’s a real good opportunity for me to get back myself rolling
and get back into some football.”

show and people pay to see
them instead of the teams.
Other reports stated
that video crews can enhance and circle the ball
if the umpire needs help.
And it’s not like they
threw in a seven-inch
black-and-white television
for them to review, these
stadiums are equipped
with 19-inch televisions.
MLB officials came out
Thursday to admit the call
was wrong but nothing
was going to be done to
change the outcome.
Then comes the circus
during Thursday night’s
Los Angeles Angels of
Anaheim-Houston finale. Astros manager Bo
Porter wanted a leftylefty matchup.
Realizing what he was
doing, Angels skipper
Mike Scioscia pulled his
left-handed hitter and
went with a right-handed
hitting pinch-hitter. Porter watched the move
and went immediately to
a right-hander while the
southpaw was in the mid-
dle of his warm-up tosses.
Scioscia argued the call
to no avail and immediately declared that his team
would play under protest
to crew chief Fieldin Culbreth. Culbreth agreed
with Porter on a rule that
was ultimately misinterpreted. If the Angels lost
the game, the protest
would come into affect
and the game could have
restarted at that point and
replayed at a different date.
Fortunately for all baseball
fans who didn’t want further headaches with these
rules, Los Angeles came
back to win the game so
the protest can essentially
just go away.
But these two incidents
bring up a point. It’s 2013
and baseball is playing
with 1813 rules at times.
Technology is at their disposal yet it gets ignored.
The human element excuse is too old, get it right
when you have the technology to make the correct
decision. If anything, grab
the nearest laptop with
Internet capabilities, hit
CTRL+F (or Apple+F if it’s
a Mac) on the rules page,
and look it up.
And don’t use the gripe
that games are long enough
as it is. If soccer matches
and auto racing can have
advertisements run across
the screen during play,
why can’t baseball games?
The shortest vacation
one umpiring crew has
each year is from the end
of the World Seies in late
October-early
November to the start of Spring
Training in February. The
rest of the crews have
even longer breaks. Study
the rule books and use
these games in Arizona
or Florida as a chance to
hone their techniques.
The umpires union may
be strong but the players
union is stronger. Umpires
need to have accountability for their mistakes.
There needs to be more
Jim Joyce apologies than
Angel Hernandez defiant,
arrogant responses.
live in a world where everything is out of whack?
I don’t remember seeing
Elmer Fudd sitting around
eating carrots or Bugs Bunny walking around with a
shotgun. Either way, I think
sports fans need to use the
proper perspective.
I would love to see Rose
return and battle Lebron
James in the playoffs.
Maybe it will happen or
maybe it won’t. But regard-
less of my preference, it’s
not fair for me to demand
a 24-year-old person put
their career on the line for
a single moment of glory.
While we love seeing extraordinary achievements, we
need to learn to appreciate
them and not demand them.

In December 2011, Minnesota Vikings’ running
back Adrian Peterson tore
his ACL in a victory over the
Washington Redskins. Peterson started game one of the
next season for the Vikings.
After nine months of recovery, Peterson began chasing
Eric Dikerson’s single season rushing record of 2,105
yards. A record that Peterson
fell short of…by nine yards.
I am like any other sports
fan. I thrive on those spectacular moments. But do I have
the right to demand the extraordinary? A definition of
the word might be in order.
According to Webster’s

beyond what is usual, regular
or customary.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,
May 11, 2013:
This year you open up to many
new ideas. You naturally will test
your intuition and willingly experiment
more. Many of you will continue to
stay within the conservative boundaries you have established — at least
for the most part. If you are single,
use care with anyone who might pop
into your life from out of the blue.
This person might not be as open
or as clear as he or she would have
you think. If you are attached, the
two of you might opt to make a major
purchase toward a long-term goal.
GEMINI often encourages more wildness in you.
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 You will want to have a
discussion involving your finances
and potential growth. You have a lot
of opinions and a variety of information, but it always is worth brainstorming with someone who has a similar
perspective and different knowledge.
Tonight: Say “yes.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Do not let someone push
you into spending more than you
desire. You know your limits, and you
might not want to waver. Follow your
instincts as to what is best for you.
Avoid overdiscussing a situation if you
want a receptive audience. Tonight:
Treat a friend to a movie.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You are full of personality and excitement. An offbeat friend
can’t seem to leave you alone. You
might want to incorporate this person
into some of your plans. You might
know more about someone’s feelings
than he or she does at this moment.
Tonight: Whatever you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HH For some reason, you might
be out of sorts and not feeling good.
You could be assessing a situation
differently from those around you.
Make time for a dear friend who often
shares with you, and vice versa. Take
some time to recharge your batteries.
Tonight: Play it low-key.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH A friend will reach out to
you, probably to take off on a day
trip or go to a fair or an art show.
Make it your pleasure. Crowds offer
an opportunity to meet someone new
and interesting. Unexpected developments force a change of plans.
Tonight: Follow the crowds.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Relax, and you will achieve
what you want. You sometimes have
a heightened sense of responsibility. Do check in with an older friend
or relative who shares many different ideas. A mini-vacation might be
involved with future plans. Tonight:
Appreciated for who you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Be spontaneous. Your
sense of fun and adventure will come
out. Wherever you are, you open up
to new ideas and have a good sense
of direction. A conversation with a
partner or dear friend could result in
new suggestions to solve a key issue.
Tonight: Where your mind can roam.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Bring forth more information than you have in the past. You
have a situation that is changing the
more you open up. When you keep
your ideas to yourself, others are left
to use their imagination. You might be
surprised at some of the responses.
Tonight: Say “yes.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You might want to defer
more to others, unless you want to
go your own way. Though you are
a strong, independent personality,
you also often want to be with your
friends. Express more give-and-take
in a relationship, and it will work better as a result. Tonight: Accept an
invitation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Get into a fun project, or run
some errands. A surprise easily could
land on your doorstep. Maintain a
sense of humor, and you’ll have an
easy time working through any problem that could emerge. Think positively. Tonight: Know that you do not
need to do anything.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You could be out of sorts
with a friend who often throws a
boomerang into your life. Know that
this person probably won’t change.
You’ll have a decision to make. Allow
your inner child to emerge. Tonight:
Give yourself a little more freedom to
express who you are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You are on top of your
game, and you’ll enjoy yourself to no
end. Listen to what is being shared
within your immediate circle of
friends. Know when to say “enough.”
You do not like to hurt anyone’s feelings, but sometimes it is necessary to
speak up. Tonight: Do what you love.

Hamlin plans to run entire race at Darlington
Jenna Fryer
“I don’t think there’s any
doubt we’ll go the whole way,”
said Hamlin, who tested himself
by running 90 consecutive minutes during a long first practice
Friday. “Nothing was uncomfortable, nothing hurt, nothing was
sore. So I’m pretty confident I
can make it the three, three and
half (hours) that it’s going to
take to run the race.”
Hamlin is determined to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship and currently
sits 31st in the standings. But
he’s only 76 points out of 20th
place, where he’d need to be to
be eligible for one of two wildcard berths.
AP Auto Racing Writer
DARLINGTON, S.C. — Denny Hamlin doesn’t have a contingency plan for Darlington Raceway. He has every intention of
running the entire race.
Hamlin turned 23 laps last
week at Talladega before turning
the car over to relief driver Brian
Vickers. It was Hamlin’s first race
since suffering a compression
fracture in a vertebra in his lower
back. The March 24 injury cost
him four races.
Hamlin has no plans to have a
driver on standby for Saturday
night’s Southern 500.
He knows every run from here
until Richmond in September
needs to be nearly perfect, and
figures Darlington is going to be
one of the toughest tests.
After all, they don’t call it “The
Track Too Tough To Tame” for
nothing.
“It will be a challenge because
this is one of the toughest, physically challenging races that we
have — not only by distance,
but the amount of mental focus
that you have to have during
the race is tough,” Hamlin said.
“That was the one thing that I
was actually worried about … ‘Is
my stamina going to be enough
to make it?’ I’ll be able to make
it physically, but it’s a matter of
whether I can keep my mind engaged through whatever physical
pains I have toward the end to
keep our finish good.”
Hamlin said he plans to race in
next week’s non-points All-Star
Race, where the winner grabs a
$1 million payday. Because the
race doesn’t count for championship seeding, Hamlin could conceivably sit out for another week
of rest.
But he said he’ll race as he always does next week at Charlotte
Motor Speedway.
“I want to win, so I’m going
to do everything I can and be as
aggressive as I would any other
race,” Hamlin said. “Usually in
the All-Star Race, the closer up
front you are, the less out of trouble you are. So I’m going to try
to do everything I can to be up
front, and if not, it will just be a
good test session weekend.
“If I didn’t feel like I was going
to be 100 percent and be able to
go for it with a lot of confidence,
then I wouldn’t run it. But I was
very encouraged after looking at
the last scan that the progress
that I’ve made, that they were
comfortable that I could take a
hit or there.”
