POMEROY — The local museum is planning on making a move for the new year. The Meigs County Museum will be moving down to Middleport at the old Ford building on South Third this summer. “We’re very excited,” said Museum Director Vicki Hanson. “We want to bring out more artifacts.” According to The Meigs County Historical Society, the museum holds thousands of artifacts from Meigs County’s past. The exhibits routinely changes to explain the local, regional, and national history of Meigs County. Hanson shared that by moving the museum to a larger building, they will have additional room for displays. She said that she and fellow museum volunteers would like to expand the military, school, and farm equipment displays. Hanson added the genealogy room, the gift shop, and the kids’ corner will be expanded as well. Kids’ Corner volunteer Debbie Pratt shared that an event is held at the museum for children the third weekend of every month. She said at these events the children participate in making seasonal or historical crafts and each time the child visits they receive a stamp on their passport. Hanson shared the museum’s volunteers are planning on having their set of displays represent the early 1800’s after the move and they will make their way into modern times. The museum’s membership chair Patty Grossnickle said See MUSEUM | 5 Eastern School Board approves personnel items Staff Report REEDSVILLE —The Eastern Board of Education met this week for its regular meeting, voting on personnel issues.

Polar Plunge set for New Year’s Day Local animal rescue to benefit By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — A local motorcycle club is challenging members of the community to take a plunge into the Ohio river. On Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. the Los Cuervos motorcycle club will be holding its third annual Meigs County Polar Plunge at the Pomeroy levee. Registration for the event will begin at 11 a.m. and participants must be at least 18 years of age and sign a waiver to be permitted to take the plunge. “The way it works is every participant markets themselves as a jumper and asks people to sponsor them,” said Los Cuervos member Rich “Zap” Wamsley. “Collect as many sponsors as you can and bring it with you to the Plunge the day of the event.” Wamsley shared the event has had around 25-30 participants each year and the parking lot ﬁlled with spectators. He said those participating may dress in costume if they wish. Wamsley expressed Los Cuervos has earned approximately $7,000 each year since the polar plunge began. Wamsley shared this event began on a whim. He said Los Cuervos was wanting to raise money for the Meigs County Dog Shelter and a fellow member of the club told Wamsley he could talk people into anything, so he suggested that people sponsor individuals to take a plunge into the Ohio River. “We have a lot of fun with this event, but are very serious about the safety of our jumpers,” said Wamsley. Wamsley shared that the temperature of the water has been 32 degrees Fahrenheit for the past two years. He said that members of Los Cuervos discourage anyone with health conditions from taking the plunge. Wamsley expressed that in case of an emergency volunteers are on standby to assist individuals out See PLUNGE | 3 The ‘Bridge of Hope Fund’ unveiled Assisting people in recovery with education, job training JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Staff Report POINT PLEASANT — At Recovery Point in Charleston, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito recently helped Fruth Pharmacy President Lynne Fruth, unveil a new community fund named “Bridge of Hope Fund.” Fruth Pharmacy committed $20,000 to start the fund which will provide scholarships for peo- ple in recovery to seek education and job training. At the end of the announcement on Dec. 15, Fruth had several other entities contact her to offer support, bringing the starting amount of the fund up to $100,000. Fruth began discussing this idea with leaders from the Charleston and Huntington Health Departments, Recovery Point and The Greater Kanawha Valley Foun- dation. She has also reached out to friends and business associates in the pharmacy industry and members of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores to ask for their support. In response to that, Walgreens and Cardinal Health have already committed to a matching donation of $20,000 each to the fund. Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation has also committed $20,000. “We’re at Ground Zero in West Virginia with the drug epidemic in our country,” Fruth continued, “Fruth Pharmacy has worked with several facilities, provided scholarships, and followed success stories of how people have been able to overcome their addictions and be restored to their families and a better life.” Fruth added, “The key to complete See HOPE | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, December 27, 2017 OBITUARIES Daily Sentinel MEIGS BRIEFS SHIRLEY A.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday. DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A Marine Corp aircraft dubbed “Chilly Willy” for its experimental winter ﬂights in icy Canada will now take up residence at an Ohio Air Force base for research purposes. Aerospace researchers will use the MV-22 Osprey for ergonomic and musculoskeletal studies on crew members at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, U.S. Navy Capt. Rees Lee. The Navy is interested in seeing how the aircraft may cause injuries to passengers as a result of its tilt-rotor, The Dayton Daily News reported. Citing the need for human testing inside the experimental aircraft, “there’s no substitute to understanding how a human being integrates into an aircraft without the actual aircraft,” Lee said. He noted a recurring medical complaint of MV-22 crew members is neck and back pain. The Ohio State University Spine Research Institute will work with the Navy on ergonomic research aboard the ground-based MV-22, Lee said. The plane landed Tuesday at the airstrip next to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft arrived from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland — the end of nearly 15 years of experimental ﬂight testing and including three winters in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The MV-22 is the ﬁrst aircraft the Navy research unit has brought to Wright-Patterson, Lee said. The unit relocated from the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida several years ago.

The Dayton Daily News and WHIO-TV report ﬁve women working at the Wapakoneta restaurant were stunned when congregants from Grand Lake United Methodist Church in Celina (suh-LEYE’-nuh) delivered the cash after a Christmas Eve service. The workers were told they could split the money, amounting to over $700 apiece. Church member Barb Vorhees says several dozen churchgoers drove to the restaurant and packed inside to see the surprise. The Rev. Mick Whistler had challenged families in his congregation to set aside cash during the weeks before the holiday and then to bring ﬁve $1 bills on Christmas Eve.

TVMA �NEWS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, December 27, 2017 3 Tourism in coal country: Digging into culture, ecotourism PERRY COUNTY, Ohio (AP) — Two-thirds of Appalachia’s coal industry jobs have disappeared since the 1990s. Now the region is hoping tourism will help rebuild its economy by tapping into history and its rugged natural beauty. A Shawnee, Ohio, event re-enacted a Prohibition rally outside the real-life former speakeasy. In Corbin, Kentucky, they’re constructing an elk-viewing area on a former mountaintop mine. Virginia’s Crooked Road traces country music history. Ohio’s Winding Road takes visitors back to the birth of the U.S. labor movement. “We’d like to promote Appalachia as an exotic, interesting place, not the Godforsaken place that we usually get in the national press,” said Todd Christensen, executive director of the Southwest Virginia Cultural Heritage Foundation. Authentic stories For Ohio activist John Winnenberg, the rebirth goes deeper. As eastern Ohio has endured boomand-bust cycles — of tim- ber, coal, clay and, lately, oil-and-gas extraction — residents have internalized a sense of futility and abandonment that’s hard to shake, he says. That mentality could fade if locals succeed in building their own tourism-based economy. “We’ve been owned before,” said Winnenberg, director of The Winding Road initiative centered in historic Shawnee. “We don’t want to be owned again.” The promise of a new future for coal country is not new. Billions of dollars have been spent closing, reclaiming, reforesting and redeveloping abandoned mine land since the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act passed 40 years ago. What’s fresh is the new energy among baby boomers and millennials alike, who seem to enjoy the Rust Belt chic of enjoying a drink or overnight stay in a place full of authentic stories built on sweat and strife. In Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday Creek Coal Co. was among dozens of companies that thrived in eastern Ohio during mining’s heyday, 1850 to 1940. Vestiges of that era — opera houses, speakeasies, union halls, railroad depots — are being preserved and promoted for tours, lodging and quirky events like the re-enactment of a Prohibition rally. “It’s not creating tourism just for other people. We’re going for ourselves as well,” said Winnenberg. $124 million in annual spending by its ﬁfth year and create 2,300 jobs. “The mining has created phenomenal elk habitat. Elk are, by nature, prairie animals, and the grassland habitat that’s created when the coal mines are restored is very conducive to the elk,” Allen said. “It’s kind of the ultimate irony: The ‘evil’ mountaintop removal process and, all of the sudden, it’s creEcotourism The Corbin, Kentucky- ated the ideal habitat for wildlife.” based Appalachian The Monday Creek Wildlife Foundation is Restoration Project in developing an ecology New Straitsville, Ohio, education site on Kentucky’s ﬁrst mountaintop gave locals their ﬁrst look at a clear-running removal coal mine. stream in generations, “Capitalizing on the wildlife of the region for according to project manager Nate Schlater. conservation, based on “The stream where a our work, turned into a lot of my work has been tourist attraction,” said focused, Monday Creek, board chairman Frank was a dead stream, Allen. declared possibly unreA wildlife center rich coverable in 1994,” he with elk, deer, bear and more than 260 species of said. “Today, there’s 36 species of ﬁsh living in birds will open in 2019 while mining operations the stream, it’s nearing achieving EPA warm continue nearby.

Ohio’s capital city facing near record-high homicide rate COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Earlier this month, with homicides at a near-record high in Ohio’s capital and biggest city, the Columbus police chief declared a “call for action, and a call for peace” in hopes of reducing the killing. “This holiday season is one of those where we hope for peace, but we can bring about peace, I believe, by engaging everyone and trying to solve these problems,” Chief Kim Jacobs said on the afternoon of Dec. 11. An hour later, a 29-yearold man was shot to death on the city’s south side. Two days later, someone in a car shot at people attending a vigil for that victim, killing one man and injuring three other people, including a 9-year-old girl. Police have tallied 138 homicides this year in Columbus, just shy of the all-time record of 139 in 1991 as the nation’s crack cocaine epidemic was underway. The number has soared above last year’s 106 killings and the 96 in 2015. One of this year’s deaths occurred Dec. 21 but involved a woman dying from injuries sustained in a 2014 shooting. Jacobs attributes the increase to more illegal guns on the street and the use of more powerful weapons — meaning more shots ﬁred during crimes — the impact of the opioid epidemic and people turning to guns to solve arguments instead of less lethal means. Lack of cooperation from witnesses, always a problem, seems to be getting worse, she added. “A lot of these victims of these homicides are just found lying bleeding,” she said. “We didn’t know anything about it until we got a call that there was somebody lying on the ground.” Columbus’ overall homicide rate is actually down from 1991 because of the city’s population growth. Columbus is now the country’s 14th largest city. In Cleveland, the city’s 125 homicides to date are running behind last year’s ﬁgure of 135. But recent street corner gun battles have so alarmed some ofﬁcials that they’re calling for drastic action: Ohio Highway Patrol ofﬁcers to supplement Cleveland ofﬁcers. A Cleveland councilman says eight men shot it out with automatic pistols and an assault riﬂe the evening of Dec. 19, injur- ing two of the shooters and a 7-year-old girl in a nearby car. “When groups of young thugs feel they can stand on a busy corner and brazenly shoot at one another without regard for citizens or the police, something is terribly wrong,” said Councilman Michael Polensek. Indianapolis set a new ings by mid-December. That puts it on pace to end this year with killings down 14 percent from last year. Lower overall rates are small comfort to communities reeling from high homicide numbers, said Ames Grawert, counsel with the New York Citybased Brennan Center’s Justice Program.

The minuscule Galilean town in which Joseph and Mary spent their lives and raised their son Jesus was, quite literally, a joke. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” asked one disciple, when he heard where James the Messiah was from. Some scholMartin Contributing ars posit that this was a popular saying in the 1st century. In any columnist event, Nazareth was on the fringes of the Roman Empire. Roman roads avoided it until the 2nd century. Jesus came from a backwater of a backwater; he and his mother and father, the ﬁgures at the heart of the Christmas story, were most likely considered throwaway people. The Gospels tell us little about Mary other than to say that she was a parthenon, a young woman, a virgin, most likely illiterate. The life of women in 1st century Nazareth was difﬁcult: ﬁlled mainly with labor. But life in Nazareth was difﬁcult for everyone, not just women. Life expectancy was in the 30s. Those who reached 60 were rare. In “Stone and Dung, Oil and Spit,” a fascinating study of daily Jewish life in Nazareth, the scholar Jodi Magness points out that we tend to view the life of the Holy Family through a “highly sanitized lens.” Garbage and sewage were tossed outside into the alleyways, perhaps by Mary herself. Keep in mind that Magness describes our Christmas conditions in Galilee cards are miles as “ﬁlthy, malodorous and unhealthy.”Joseph away from the is described in the Gos- reality of the Holy pels as a tekton, a word Family’s existence. that opens a tantalizing window into Jesus’ early life as well, since he followed his foster father in his profession. Tektons were generally seen as ranking, socially and economically, below the peasantry since most didn’t own a plot of land. It was probably a hardscrabble life, building doors and tables, but also likely digging ditches and building walls. Today many scholars translate tekton not as carpenter, but as handyman or day laborer. You can detect growing discomfort with this lower-class status in the Gospel narratives. When Jesus reveals his divine identity in Mark, the earliest Gospel, people say, “Is this not the tekton?” Writing a few decades later, Matthew transfers the label to Jesus’ foster father: “Is this not the son of the tekton?” people ask. Finally, in Luke and John, written even later, all vestiges of Jesus’ former occupation disappear from the question: “Is this not the son of Joseph?” Jesus worked as a tekton from roughly 12 to 30. Fully 18 years of his life would have been spent at this arduous labor — six times longer than his public ministry as a preacher and healer. We must keep in mind that our Christmas cards are miles away from the reality of the Holy Family’s existence. We must remember that the three of them looked more like the poor Syrian refugees on the news than the well-fed (and usually white) actors who play them in ﬁlms. We must remember that it is into a life of simplicity, hiddenness and poverty that Jesus came. We must remember that he was, most likely, poor. God could have entered the world in any place or family that God chose. God could have become human in a great ruling family in Judea. God could have entered into humanity in a wealthy Galilean family, perhaps as the child of a well-traveled and well-read merchant or scholar. More to the point, God could have chosen to be born into the Roman dynasty, in line to become emperor, to exercise and demonstrate maximum power. Instead, God chose to enter a family headed by a man with a simple profession, married to a woman who, from outward appearances, was no different than the other poor women in their joke of a town. Is it any surprise, then, that Jesus felt such intense compassion for the poor and marginalized? That he constantly asked his disciples to care for the poor, the sick, the forgotten, the stranger? He was one of these throwaway people, and he lived among them for 30 years before his public ministry began. Christians tend to see Jesus’ commands to care for the poor as divine. And they were — Jesus was fully divine. But they also came from his human experience. He was fully human as well. I’m always amazed by people who feel they can be Christian without caring for the poor. Not only did Jesus command us to do this, Jesus himself was from this class. When God chose to join us, he joined us in Nazareth, to make sure that we wouldn’t forget. James Martin is a Jesuit priest, editor at large at America, consultor to the Vatican’s Secretariat of Communication, and author of “Jesus: A Pilgrimage.” He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.afix THEIR VIEW Trump, Congress ready to help Dreamers? The following editorial recently appeared in The San Diego UnionTribune: Despite headlines about Congress failing to act to help “Dreamers” — the nearly 800,000 unauthorized immigrants who came here as minors and who were granted work permits that gave them some legal protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, created by President Barack Obama’s 2012 executive order — the news on this front last week was actually quite positive. After a productive bipartisan meeting at the White House between nearly a dozen senators and chief of staff John Kelly, it seems quite plausible that Dreamers will be saved from facing deportation — for the ﬁrst time since Donald Trump became president. This is very welcome news. To quality for a DACA permit, individuals must have graduated from high school or served in the military and have led constructive lives. They have great potential to help America. That’s why the CEOs of more than 400 companies signed a letter last summer urging that the Dreamers be protected. “Dreamers are vital to the future of our companies and our economy,” the CEOs wrote. “They are part of why we will continue to have a global competitive advantage.” But until last week, it was tough to get a sense if these arguments had any traction with the Trump administration. While the president has called Dreamers “incredible kids” and offered other praise as well, it was his decision to cancel the program after a six-month window that ends in March 2018. While the president and his aides spoke of cutting a deal — passing a law protecting Dreamers instead of relying on a constitutionally dubious executive order — they weren’t interested in starting the haggling process. Until Tuesday’s meeting at the White House. Senators told Politico that Kelly said the White House would soon specify what immigration and border policy changes it wanted in return for formalizing a DACA-type program. This, of course, could all blow up in a minute. If the White House requests are blasted by immigration hardliners as not going nearly far enough in return for what they’re sure to call amnesty for nearly 800,000 people, it’s easy to see Trump’s inner Steve Bannon emerging with a series of tweets disavowing the actions of his own administration — as he’s done repeatedly on other issues. But Kelly appears to have the respect of Trump that few are accorded. If Kelly can make clear how helping the Dreamers would be seen as a big political victory — the ﬁrst positive immigration measure to make it into law in decades — that should be music to the president’s ears. Americans are unlikely to be on the same page on immigration any time soon. As a Vox analysis piece in October noted, Democrats are taking an increasingly hard line against immigration restrictions, aware that President Obama got little credit for taking a somewhat centrist approach on the issue — being blasted as “deporter-in-chief” for several years while also helping Dreamers. Meanwhile, Republicans — and right-wing parties worldwide — have seen their call for tight borders and their opposition to accepting large numbers of political refugees rewarded at the polls. Given this backdrop, if these sides can come together to help the young adults brought here as children, that would be a triumph of pragmatism in a polarized time. Here’s hoping it comes to pass. THEIR VIEW Heritage breaks two glass ceilings Hillary Clinton was supposed to break the glass ceiling, which she said has kept Cal a woman Thomas Contributing from becoming columnist president, but the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., has actually done it. Their new president is Kay Cole James, a female, an African-American and a conservative, who ﬁts no one’s mold. While her background is formidable — former director of the Ofﬁce of Personnel Management, Virginia secretary of Health and Human Resources, and dean of Regent University’s School of Government among other accomplishments — her vision is even more compelling. Perhaps that is because she agrees with me on the issue of liberating poor and minority children from failing public schools and building a foundation that will give them a better future. In a telephone interview, James tells me school choice for these kids is one of her “top priorities.” The left has tried and failed to improve the lives of African-Americans through government programs. As Donald Trump said during the 2016 presidential campaign, why not try a different approach? President Trump has also placed welfare reform as a top priority in 2018. The last time it was tried, under Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, it succeeded. As president of Heritage, James can give Trump the intellectual and factual resources to make further reforms and achieve this and other goals. A return to the intellectual heft of William F. Buckley Jr. and outgoing Heritage president Edwin Feulner is much needed in a conservative movement that has been hijacked by nastiness and anger. Winning an argument is preferable to destroying one’s opponent. It can also produce better results. Cole’s “inaugural address” hit just the right tone: “Heritage has always promoted economic growth and opportunity — and why it has never wavered in opposing those who would burden our freedoms and future with the suffocating force of mindless regulations and punitive taxes.” Who opposes growth and opportunity? The debate has been over how to get there. History shows which ideas worked and which failed. “Success in politics is about issues, ideas and the vision we have for our country in the world,” James said. George H.W. Bush dismissed “the vision thing,” but “Without a vision the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18) For liberals who might accuse James of being insufﬁciently black because of her conservatism, let them respond to this: “When I was 12 years old, I started attending an all-white middle school. To say we weren’t welcome is an understatement. Despite the Supreme Court’s Brown versus Board of Education ruling, Virginia Democrats insisted on keeping the public schools segregated. “So 25 incredibly brave black kids and I tried to change that. For a while, navigating the packed hallways meant being jeered at, stuck with pins, shoved, and even kicked down the stairs. I see it on your faces — yes, it was awful. But it was worth it. You see, I’d been given a great gift — the opportunity to ﬁght for something I believed in. And it changed me forever.” When a conservative favorably quotes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. you might expect a new day may be coming for the conservative moment. James noted King’s remarks the day before he was murdered 50 years ago: “We have an opportunity to make America a better nation … to make America what it ought to be.” That is an ongoing and never-ending quest, but James, whom I have known for several decades, will do it with a cheerful spirit, a conﬁdence based on ideas that have proved their worth and a charm that can disarm her most ardent critics. That’s a pretty good package that offers an opportunity to retreat from battling each other’s personalities, integrity and patriotism and instead focus on the best ideas that will improve any American who embraces them.

Barrett runs with the ball during the second half of the Big Ten championship game against Wisconsin on Dec. 2 in Indianapolis. Next fall, seven fifth-year Ohio State seniors are departing, including four-year starting quarterback Barrett. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Reloading is going to be more challenging than usual this time for Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who is accustomed to losing much of his talent to the NFL each year. Seven ﬁfth-year seniors who were key contributors this season are departing, including quarterback J.T. Barrett — a four-year starter who holds nearly every Ohio State passing and scoring record — and defensive end Tyquan Lewis, the 2016 Big Ten defensive player of the year. Another handful of this season’s best players could leave early to enter the 2018 NFL draft in the next few weeks, including All-American cornerback and likely ﬁrst-rounder Denzel Ward , defensive end Sam Hubbard and linebacker Jerome Baker. Meyer said it’s going to be especially tough to replace this departing group. “These ﬁfth-year guys are not just fantastic players, they are the nuts and bolts of this program,” he said. “They own this program.” Before fully focusing on ﬁlling the holes, Meyer has to worry about motivating his troops to beat No. 8 USC in the Cotton Bowl Dec. 29, a consolation prize after the No. 5 Buckeyes just missed out on the fourth national playoff spot. The game is big to the Buckeyes who are playing — or may be playing — in their last college game. “After this game, I’m hoping I can celebrate in Dallas,” said Baker, who was third on the team in tackles this season but still didn’t meet expectations. “But I don’t worry about (possibly going to the draft). It comes with the sport. You make decisions, but right now I’m worried about beating USC.

The top four teams stayed the same in Monday’s new poll , led by the Wildcats (12-0) receiving 43 of 65 ﬁrst-place votes to stay at No. 1 for the third straight week. No. 2 Michigan State (12-1) was second and had 16 ﬁrst-place votes, while thirdranked Arizona State (12-0) had six ﬁrst-place votes to stay ahead of No. 4 Duke (12-1). Those four teams won their six games last week by an average margin of 39.7 points, leaving their coaches to focus on tuning elements of their games before the bulk of conference play takes hold. “I guess if you were to ask me where do you want to be at Christmas: would you like to be winning games by an average of 20 points a game … and can you be 12-1?” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said after last week’s 102-60 win against Long Beach State. “I think I’d have taken that. Plus I’m seeing improvement.” For the preseason No. 1 Blue Devils, in particular, a lighter December schedule due to exams and the holidays has offered some needed practice time following a travel-ﬁlled opening month. “We had some good practices so we looked better defensively and hopefully we will continue to do that,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after last week’s 104-40 win against Evansville. “Once we get back we have a tough game (against No. 24 Florida State), but we’ll have more continuity. And that’s what this group needs, a young group especially needs the continuity.” Changes in the top 10 Texas A&M (11-1) climbed to ﬁfth, followed by Xavier, West Virginia, Wichita State, Virginia and TCU to round out the top 10. Those teams all climbed between three and ﬁve spots. TCU (12-0) has the nation’s longest winning streak at 17 games dating to last season’s NIT championship after Friday’s win against William & Mary , and now has the highest ranking in program history. Top risers Joining TCU in rising ﬁve spots is No. 12 Oklahoma, led by freshman star Trae Young. No. 9 Virginia is up four spots.

Defensive ends Lewis and Jalyn Warriors beat Cavaliers 99-92 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James drove to the basket in the waning seconds and Kevin Durant swatted away any chance Cleveland had at a Christmas Day comeback. Durant pumped his ﬁst again and again, emphatically shook his head and pounded his chest in delight. It looked a lot like the dominant Durant from the NBA Finals six months ago. Klay Thompson hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:33 left, Durant delivered on both ends of the ﬂoor, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Cavaliers 99-92 on Monday in a festive holiday rematch of the past three Finals. “There’s just so much joy in the arena today because it’s Christmas and we all feed off of that,” Durant said. Durant’s block against a driving James with 24.5 seconds left went out of bounds off James, who said he thought he was fouled on the play. Durant ﬁnished with 25 points, seven rebounds and ﬁve blocked shots. “He’s one of the leaders in shot blocks a game and obviously he had ﬁve tonight, so he’s been doing a heck of a job of ﬁrst of all taking the individual matchup and protecting the rim, too,” James said. Kevin Love had 31 points and a seasonbest 18 rebounds, while James contributed 20 points, six rebounds and six assists in a rivalry missing one key piece: Warriors star Stephen Curry, who missed his eighth straight game with a sprained right ankle. Thompson scored 24 points and Draymond Green had a triple-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. It was Golden State’s 12th win in 13 games after its 11-game winning streak was snapped by Denver on Saturday night. Warriors rookie Jordan Bell traveled with 2:13 left and James tied it. Bell made up for that mistake with a key offensive rebound and pass to Thompson for Tony Avelar | AP Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (35) blocks Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) during the second half Monday in Oakland, Calif. The Warriors won 99-92. his fourth 3. James’ 3-pointer with 10:39 left pulled Cleveland within one, but Green answered with a 3 and Andre Iguodala scored two of his nine points the next time down. In another key sequence, Durant blocked Tristan Thompson’s shot with 6:23 to go and dunked moments later. No surprise, the uptempo, running rivals provided high entertainment once again. The Warriors last June captured a second championship in three years against James and the Cavaliers. “I forgot all about it,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said with a chuckle. The teams will see each other again soon, playing Jan. 15 in Cleveland. KD requested James for his defensive assignment, to which he explained simply, “I just like guarding my position.” The Cavs, having won six of seven and playing for the ﬁrst time since Thursday, had their run of scoring at least 100 points end at 26 games. The Warriors were at nearly full strength again aside from Curry, who could return this Associated Press From page 6 Diamond Head Classic and the Wildcats lost to UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic in New Orleans.

Center Zaza Pachulia was available but didn’t play after sitting out seven consecutive games, while Shaun Livingston came back after missing four games with a sore right knee. Bell — who addressed the sellout crowd at midcourt moments before tipoff — started at center and had eight points and six rebounds. Shooting woes The Cavs’ 31.8-percent shooting was the lowest by a Warriors opponent in nearly four years, since Charlotte shot 31.2 percent from the ﬁeld on Feb. 4, 2014. “We just didn’t make shots,” Lue said. A real rivalry Sure, this one felt a little strange without Curry or Kyrie Irving, now in Boston. “Golden State-Cavaliers, that’s a big game, no matter who’s playing, who’s out,” Lue said. “It will be weird, without Steph, without Ky, especially the battles we’ve had over the last three years. So both teams look different.” Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows just the uniforms are enough to get everybody going — and this marked the third straight Christmas matchup between the franchises, alternating home ﬂoors based on who won the title. “It’s always great to play the Cavs, they’re an awesome team,” Kerr said. “LeBron is so amazing and it’s so fun to feel the energy in the building when the two teams get together. Neither team will look the same as we will even a month from now because Steph and Isaiah Thomas both should be back, hopefully they’ll both be back. … But it doesn’t even matter sometimes, just the two uniforms in the same building gets people going.” Tip-ins Cavaliers: Lue isn’t yet ready to guess when Thomas will return following his right hip injury. “He is progressing very well,” Lue said. “The most important thing is that he is getting to practice and playing 5-on-5 and having a chance to experience feeling well after it and not having soreness.” … Cleveland is 19-3 since Nov. 11, including 8-3 on the road. Warriors: Durant averaged 32 points over his seven previous Christmas Day games. … Golden State played its ﬁfth consecutive Christmas game and seventh in eight. … The Warriors were 10 of 37 on 3s after they went a dismal 3 for 27 from 3-point range in losing to the Nuggets. … Kerr began his pregame session by thanking all of the arena staff and Golden State employees for their service and for working on the holiday. … Thompson’s holiday sneakers might have stood out most: neon green on the left foot, neon pink on the right.

Ledecky named AP Female Athlete of the Year By Beth Harris Villanova Wednesday, December 27, 2017 7 Katie Ledecky got her start in swimming because she just wanted to make friends. Her brother was eager to join a team at a pool near their house and as a 6-yearold, she tagged along. By summer’s end, the Ledecky siblings had made 100 friends ranging in age from 6 to 18. Some of them remain good friends with Katie, who went on to become the world’s best swimmer in the post-Michael Phelps era. She earned ﬁve golds and a silver at this year’s world championships in Budapest, maintaining the upward trajectory she ﬁrst established as a surprise gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics. Her dominant performance in Hungary earned Ledecky Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year honors. In balloting by U.S. editors and news directors announced Tuesday, Ledecky received 351 points, edging out Serena Williams with 343. Williams won the Australian Open for her Open era-record 23rd Grand Slam tennis title . Olympic track star Allyson Felix ﬁnished third in voting, with 248 points. Last year, Ledecky was second to gymnast Simone Biles in the balloting. The AP Male Athlete of the Year will be announced Wednesday. Ledecky is the eighth female swimmer to win and the ﬁrst since Amy Van Dyken in 1996. Among the others is 1969 winner Debbie Meyer. At last year’s Rio de Janeiro Games, Ledecky equaled Meyer’s feat of sweeping the 200, 400 and 800 freestyles in a single Olympics. “It’s a really great history of women swimmers and freestylers,” Ledecky said of the AP honor roll. “I really look up to a lot of those women.” She is the ﬁrst active college athlete to win since UConn basketball player Rebecca Lobo in 1995. Ledecky is a sophomore at Stanford, still debating whether to major in psychology or political science, and enjoying life in the dorms, where she lives with ﬁve other swimmers. “Just being in the college environment has kind of added another layer of fun,” she said. “Being with teammates and working toward NCAA championships and having that team goal, that’s another thing that is fun.” Ledecky heads to Colorado Springs, Colorado, for high-altitude training with her Stanford team this week. Her focus is on the collegiate season through the NCAAs in March. In moving cross-country from her home in Bethesda, Maryland, to attend college in California, Ledecky left behind longtime coach Bruce Gemmell. But like some of those old summer league teammates, Ledecky has stayed in touch. She trains with Gemmell when she returns to visit her family. She was a star to them in 2012 but a little-known 15-year-old to the rest of the world when she won the 800-meter freestyle in world-record time in London. In 2013, Ledecky won four golds at the worlds in Barcelona, setting a pair of world records. Two years later in Kazan, she swept every freestyle from 200 to 1,500 meters, setting two more world records. Another two world records fell last year in Rio. In her typically understated way, Ledecky said: “I really pride myself on the consistency I’ve had over the past couple years. Just being able to compete at the international level and come away with some gold medals each year.” Ledecky didn’t set any personal bests or world records in Budapest, something she’s done with such frequency that people expect to witness something spectacular anytime she dives in the pool. �8 Wednesday, December 27, 2017 SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Steelers clinch first-round bye with 34-6 win over Texans HOUSTON (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger told his teammates they didn’t need to make up for Antonio Brown’s absence. He just wanted everyone to do what they could to help out, ﬁguring that would be enough. It certainly was. “I know everyone was thinking about A.B. not being out there and trying to ﬁll those shoes, but you can’t ﬁll those shoes,” Roethlisberger said. “I just tried to tell them: ‘Don’t try to ﬁll them, just try to be the best you can be.’” Roethlisberger threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns in the ﬁrst game since Brown injured his calf, and the Steelers clinched a ﬁrst-round playoff bye with a 34-6 win over the Texans. Roethlisberger threw passes to six players as Pittsburgh (12-3) romped over the lowly Texans (4-11) despite missing the NFL’s leading receiver. “It just kind of shows how many weapons we actually have in our offense … everybody played well,” Le’Veon Bell said. “Ben made the plays when he needed to. I made some plays on third down when I needed to. It was literally a total team effort.” The Steelers led 20-0 at halftime after taking advantage of two turnovers by the Texans. Bell added a 10-yard TD run late in the third quarter and rookie JuJu SmithSchuster made it 34-6 with an 18-yard touch- Heinicke ﬁnished that possession and remained in the game for the ﬁrst drive of the third quarter while Yates was being evaluated. But Heinicke took a hard hit on a sack on the last play of that drive and had to be evaluated for a concussion, too. Family time J.J.

I want the place to be packed and loud.” Despite their recent surge, the Ravens have been performing before thousands of empty seats at each home game. In a letter to seasonticket holders, team president Dick Cass acknowledged that the decision by some players to take a knee during the national anthem before a Sept. 24 game in London was a factor. “We have had signiﬁcant numbers of noshows in the past when our play on the ﬁeld has not met the high standard we and you have set for the Ravens,” Cass wrote. “But this year has been different. The numbers are higher, and it is noticeable. There are a number of reasons for the no-shows, but surely the one-time protest in London has been a factor.” Those who show up this Sunday afternoon will be watching a game the Ravens must win to clinch a No. 5 seed in the playoffs and a ﬁrst-round matchup in Kansas City. “I think that we are really coming into our own,” safety Eric Weddle said. “We’re playing the style and game that we envisioned at the beginning of the season. We are a team with momentum, and we just have to get one more.” The Ravens are 16-7 at home in December since Harbaugh took over in 2008, winning the past ﬁve games by a combined score of 152-85. Baltimore intends to bolster those numbers against the struggling Bengals, who snapped a threegame skid by defeating Detroit at home Sunday. “We know what’s ahead of us, and we know what’s at stake,” Ravens safety Tony Jefferson said. “We’re excited about the opportunity. It is always good when your future is in your own hands. We just have to go out and get this one last win, and we are in the dance.” Baltimore will be without special teams standout and backup cornerback Jaylen Hill, who tore his ACL and MCL against the Colts.

(AP) — Playing their best football at just the right time, the Baltimore Ravens need only to beat Cincinnati at home on Sunday to reach the playoffs for the ﬁrst time in three years. Baltimore has won ﬁve of six, the lone ﬂaw in that stretch a 39-38 defeat against AFC North champion Pittsburgh on the road. So, the Ravens (9-6) will enter the ﬁnale against the Bengals (6-9) riding a wave of momentum that started with a 23-0 rout in Green Bay on Nov. 19 and extended through last Saturday’s 23-16 win over Indianapolis. “It’s very important and I’m very happy with it,” coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday. “That’s the idea.” The NFL moved the Bengals-Ravens game and several others from 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. to lessen the possibility of matchups becoming meaningless as the day wears on. Though Harbaugh understands the reasoning, that doesn’t mean he likes it. “I don’t think the NFL did us any favors by moving it back, but they don’t care about us,” the coach said, referring to the notion that ticketholders who had New Year’s Eve plans now must choose between football and dinner reservations. “That’s kind of tough for the fans. I’m sure they have New Year Eve’s plans,” Harbaugh said. “I hope our fans are OK with it. I hope they’re into it, I hope people get there.
