John Kasich, currently seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has scheduled a State of the State speech on April 6 at the Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta, Ohio, after March primaries in Ohio and Super Tuesday states, his spokesman Joe Andrews said. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov. John Kasich has set the date for his annual State of the State speech after a set of crucial primaries he faces as a Republican presidential contender. Kasich’s spokesman said Tuesday he’ll give the address April 6 at Peoples Bank Theatre in historic Marietta, along the Ohio River in southern Ohio. It’s the ﬁfth consecutive year he will deliver the speech outside the Statehouse in Columbus. “It is only ﬁtting that Ohio’s ﬁrst city — and the front door to our nation’s new frontier — host a legislative session as part of our annual State of the State address,” spokesman Joe Andrews said. Kasich made history in 2012 by taking the event on the road for the ﬁrst time in recent state history with a speech in eastern Ohio’s Steubenville. He’s since taken it to Lima in western Ohio, Medina in northeast Ohio and Wilmington in the southwest. This year’s speech is much later than usual. It’s set to take place after Super Tuesday primaries are held in numerous states on March 1 and after Ohio’s primary March 15. By April, Kasich’s presidential bid could be over — or the speech could provide crucial press attention on the day it’s delivered and in the weeks afterward as its policy consequences are hashed out among state legislators and pundits. Bordering Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana hold their primaries in May or June. Kasich, a second-term governor and former congressman, was thought to hold a homecourt advantage in the Ohio primary, but it looks to be anything but a given.

Gloria Sisson, a freshman at Meigs High School, recently took part in the Ohio Music Education Association’s Solo and Ensemble performances at Ohio University in order to receive a rating. For this speciﬁc event, junior high and high school musicians, either as solo artists or as an ensemble. Junior high musicians may pick their own music to perform, as long as it’s appropriate, with high school performers performing a piece from the required list of music provided. And once the music is chosen, it’s time to get to work. And with performances complete, the judges rate based on a numbered system: Rating I (1): An outstanding performance with very few technical errors and exemplifying a truly musical expression. This rating should be reserved for the truly outstanding performance. Rating II (2): An unusual performance in many respects, but not worthy of the highest rating due to minor defects in perfor- mance, ineffective interpretation, or improper instrumentation. Rating III (3): An acceptable performance, but not outstanding. Showing accomplishment and marked promise, but lacking in one or more essential qualities. Rating IV (4): A poor performance showing many technical errors, poor musical conception, lack of interpretation, incomplete instrumentation, or lacking in any of the other essential qualities. Rating V (5): A very poor performance indicating deﬁciencies in most of the essential factors, and indicating that much careful attention should be given to the fundamentals of good performance. This rating should be used sparingly and only when it is possible to cite major faults. And after her solo snare performance, Sisson earned herself the highest mark from the judges: a 1. Along with her distinguished rating, Sisson earned a medal from Meigs High School Band Director Toney Dingess. For more information, visit http://www.omeaohio.org/.

The taxes are $5 each and will be charged for anyone renewing their car tags in the community. Council Member George Hoffman brought up the taxes on the agenda Monday, and Mayor Sandy Iannarelli said the taxes were absolutely necessary to keep up the streets in Middleport. “We have to keep our streets clean in order to have a cleanlooking town,” she said. Sharon Older, Doug Dixon and Dick Vaughan voted no on the taxes, with Shawn Rice, Emerson Heighton and Hoffman voting in favor. The mayor broke the tie with a yes vote. Currently, Middleport has one $5 permissive license tax. Council eventually approved Ordinance 106-16 regarding refuse rates. According to Fiscal Ofﬁcer Susan Baker, refuse rates for village trash customers will go up $1.50 effective immediately, which will be $18 a year per customer, to match the rising cost from Rumpke, with whom the village contracts for trash pickup. The village announced three levy renewals that must be on the ballot this year: ﬁre, police and current expense. Baker emphasized that these are not new taxes. Fire and police are one mill, and current expenses is a two-mill tax. Council also announced that Peoples Bank would continue to serve as the village’s ofﬁcial depository.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Shoppers in Ohio could get a three-day break from the state’s sales tax this summer under a bill passed by the state Senate. The bill had initially sought to make the sales tax holiday a yearly occurrence. Sponsoring Sen. Kevin Bacon said the bill was changed Tuesday to make it a one-year pilot at the request of the state’s taxation department. The bill passed on a 31-1 vote Tuesday. Ohio had its ﬁrst-ever sales tax holiday last August to help back-to-school shoppers reduce the cost of clothing and school supplies. The holiday would apply to clothing items that cost $75 or less and to classroom supplies and instructional materials that cost $20 or less. Such items include book bags, textbooks, notebooks and pencils. The tax-exempt period would cover Aug. 5-7.

Fairborn police said Tuesday that a single shot was ﬁred at and struck 22-year-old Rouven Loch on Monday evening when he pointed the handgun after tear gas was used to force him out of a house.

With the hashtag HARPNow, the Federal Housing Finance Agency is using Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube to get the word out about the Home Affordable Reﬁnance Program, or HARP. It’s for homeowners who owe as much as or more than what their home is worth. Over 367,600 U.S. homeowners are still eligible for the program. That includes 27,299 Ohioans, who would save an average of $1,456 a year by reﬁnancing. The campaign targets the 10 states with the most homeowners eligible for the program. So far, about 130,000 Ohio homeowners have reﬁnanced through the program. LOCAL STOCKS AEP (NYSE) — 62.76 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 19.72 Ashland Inc.

They didn’t have any itinerary; they would just go and hope for the best. Upon their return, I asked Loren about their trip. “We had lots of great times and new adventures,” was the reply. “We rented a little car that we drove around. I think we had someone following us for quite a while, but eventually they must have decided we were harmless. That was when we decided we would go farther out into the country to see how the common people lived.” “I bet that was fun,” I said. Daris “It was kind of fun,” Loren replied. Howard “But the farther we got away from Contributing the main cities, the less people spoke Columnist English, and none of us spoke Russian. We were able to get along for quite a while, using hand gestures to help people understand what we wanted. We were able to buy food, ﬁnd places to stay, and buy the other things we needed. But then, one evening when we were eating dinner, Bert cracked a tooth. “It hurt him a lot, but he said he could manage until we arrived back in the United States. But it got worse quickly, and in just a couple of days, he was in so much pain that he couldn’t eat anything. We ﬁnally decided we needed to ﬁnd a dentist and get his tooth taken care of. “We tried to ask people where we could ﬁnd a dentist. We pointed at our mouths and they brought food to sell to us. We pointed at our teeth, and they provided the worst looking toothbrushes for us to buy along with terrible smelling pastes and powders that we ﬁgured must have been some kind of toothpaste. We pointed at Bert and then at our teeth and made groaning sounds, and they must have ﬁgured that we were sick because they then tried to avoid us. “Finally, we arrived in a town that was a little bigger. We went to a store there and asked if anyone could speak English. The store owner brought out his college-age son. By speaking slowly, we were able to make him understand what we wanted. He said there was a dentist in the town, and he would take us there. “He rode with us, giving us directions, and soon we pulled up in front of a shabby little building. It didn’t look all that sanitary, and Bert would have changed his mind if he hadn’t been in so much pain. “We entered the building, and the room was only about 10 feet by 10 feet with one hard wooden chair and a small table beside it. The dentist spoke simple English he had learned in college. He said we would have to pay extra since we didn’t have an appointment and would be taking his time away from his scheduled patients. There wasn’t another person there besides the lady who was his assistant, but we paid the price. “Bert sat in the chair, and the dentist looked at his tooth. The dentist said, ‘Me no able to ﬁx. Must pull.’ With that he reached over and grabbed a big set of pincers from the table. “The look on Bert’s face was priceless. He stopped the dentist. ‘Don’t you have some pain killer you can give me?’ he asked. “The dentist nodded. ‘We have something to handle pain, but cost extra.’ We again paid the money. The dentist then turned to the huge woman who was his assistant. ‘Helga, handle pain!’ The woman grabbed Bert in a headlock and held him where the dentist could get at him. The dentist reached into Bert’s mouth and jerked out the tooth.” “I bet he was glad to have that over with,” I said. Loren nodded. “Bert said he was just glad the dentist got the tooth on the ﬁrst try. He said the pain killer was strong enough he about passed out, and he didn’t think he could stand a second dose.” Daris Howard, award-winning, syndicated columnist, playwright, and author, can be contacted at daris@darishoward.com.

THEIR VIEW Cold spell shouldn’t spell disaster for budgets Dealing with the bitter cold is a winter rite of passage that Ohioans know all too well. For some it’s a nuisance; for others, the ability to brave an Ohio winter is a badge of honor. But for too many families, the cold weather isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a safety hazard that threatens their family’s health and budget. In the winter months, Ohioans’ gas and electric bills often skyrocket, and for those already struggling to get by, this additional expense can force agonizing choices.

However, South Gallia took the lead for good with a 10-2 that ended the period. The Rebels held a 39-32 lead at the start of the fourth, and the teams exchanged buckets three times to start the quarter.

See REBELS | 7 Ohio teams send 16 to district meets By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com ALBANY, Ohio — Consider it a “Sweet 16” for wrestling in the Ohio Valley. More speciﬁcally, wrestling in the Buckeye State. That’s because, from Friday and Saturday’s Southeastern Ohio sectional wrestling meets at Alexander High School, there are 16 district qualiﬁers representing three Ohio area schools in two divisions. Gallia Academy — in Division II — advanced eight grapplers to this weekend’s district meet, while River Valley — competing in Division III — is sending six competitors to the district. Meigs, meanwhile, in Division II, qualiﬁed two wrestlers to the district round — junior Trae Hood in the 220-pound weight class and senior Gino Casci in the heavyweight division. Eastern — in its ﬁrst full season of wrestling — competed in the Division III sectional, but did not have any individuals advance to the district. Gallia Academy almost won the team sectional championship, ﬁnishing three points behind powerhouse New Lexington for the title. The Blue Devils amassed 234.5 points, compared to 237.5 for New Lexington. Of the Blue Devils’ eight district qualiﬁers, half were sectional champions in their weight classes — while the other half were weight-class runnersup. New Lexington landed championships in three weight classes — at 120 pounds, at 220 pounds and at heavyweight. Athens earned sectional titles at 126 and 138, while Sheridan did the same at 152 and 195. Fairﬁeld Union amounted 155.5 points to ﬁnish third, while Sheridan was fourth at 148.5. Athens was ﬁfth at 127, while Warren was sixth at 96, Vinton County seventh at 93, and Jackson eighth at 86. A total of 12 teams scored points, including 11th-place Meigs with 48. For the Blue Devils, sophomore Caleb Greenlee at 106, junior Jared Stevens at 113, junior Kaleb Crisenbery at 145, and senior Ryan Terry at 170 all won sectional championships.

Lady Knights fall short at Nitro By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com NITRO, W. Va. — Credit the Point Pleasant Lady Knights for at least putting forth a late charge. Unfortunately, it followed a myriad of turnovers that dug them too deep a deﬁcit. Hindered by a 26-10 halftime hole, the young Lady Knights’ season came to an end on Monday night at Nitro High School, as the host Wildcats captured a 40-29 victory in a Class AAA, Region IV, Section 1 girls basketball tournament tilt. With the loss, the senior-less Lady Knights ended their season at 3-17, while Nitro — having defeated Point Pleasant for the third time this year — improved to 8-13. In the ﬁrst two outings, the Wildcats rolled the Lady Knights 64-22 (Dec. 4) and 69-31 (Feb. 3). The tournament contest was much different — and Point Pleasant pulled to within single digits at 35-26 with four minutes and 12 seconds remaining. “The ﬁrst two times this year they (Wildcats) beat us bad. We still went through our droughts tonight, but the second half we won 19-14,” said PPHS coach John Fields. “It’s a matter of learning to play the game, learning to be smart with the ball. We did a much better job of that in the second half.” However, the Lady Knights didn’t score again until only 26 seconds were left — on a Michaela Cottrill free throw following an intentional foul. Cottrill scored the ﬁnal Point Pleasant points with 20 seconds to play, as the Lady Knights nearly put Nitro on upset alert. The Lady Knights actually outscored the Wildcats 19-14 in the second half, but were done in from the get-go by being outscored 15-3 in the ﬁrst quarter. The obvious issue was turnovers — as it has been for the club all year. As a result, Nitro rolled out to four 18-point leads (26-8, 28-10, 30-12 and 32-14) over a span of four minutes and 35 seconds. “We start a game as though we’ve never had practice. That’s been all season long,” said Fields. Nitro scored the game’s ﬁrst ﬁve points, as Allison Henderson had the ﬁrst ﬁeld goal for Point Pleasant at the 5:45 mark of the opening quarter. But the Lady Knights never got closer, scoring one other point in the ﬁrst period on a Peyton Campbell free throw with two minutes left. The Lady Knights made it 15-6 only 15 seconds into the second stanza — on a banked-in three-pointer by Ashlie Flory. However, that was as close as they got until 35-26, as the only other second-period points were ﬁeld goals by Cottrill (5:15) and Skylar Woodall (48 seconds). Nitro led 32-14 with 4:34 left in the third quarter, but eight unanswered Point Pleasant points trimmed the deﬁcit to 10 (32-22) a full four minutes later. Morgan Roush scored on back-to-back baskets, then Woodall and Henderson had ﬁeld goals to make it 32-22. But Nitro’s Victoria Porterﬁeld — who poured in a game-high 24 points on six total ﬁeld goals and 11-of-17 free throws — popped the team’s only three-point goal with 10 seconds left to stop the run. In the fourth quarter, Cottrill split a pair of free throws before Campbell canned a three, getting the Lady Knights to within nine. But Point Pleasant came up empty on its next ﬁve possessions, as Emmalee Hinkley had a bucket for the Wildcats with 1:53 to play. Porterﬁeld, who scored 14 ﬁrst-half points followed by seven more in the third frame, made 3-of-4 free throws in the next minute and 17 seconds to seal the win. Brooke Entemann, on three ﬁeld goals and 2-of-4 ﬁrst-quarter free throws, added eight points for the Wildcats. Hinkley scored six points on three ﬁeld goals, while Brooke Vogel had the opening ﬁeld goal for Nitro. Fields said he is optimistic about improvement in the program next season, but it’s up to the Lady Knights “to put in the work.” See KNIGHTS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Greenlee pinned Elijah Ross of Warren in 91 seconds in the 106 ﬁnals, while Crisenbery needed only 28 seconds to pin Kevin Beal of Fairﬁeld Union in the ﬁnals at 145. Terry took ﬁve minutes and nine seconds to pin Tanner Tritipo of Athens for the 170 title, while Stevens shut out Vinton County’s Wyatt Webb with a 17-0 technical fall for the crown at 113. The Blue Devil runners-up included sophomore Kyle Greenlee at 120, junior Hunter Jacks at 160, senior Justin Reynolds at 182, and senior Anthony Sipple at 195. The top four wrestlers in each weight class at the sectional meet qualify for the district meet. Rebels From page 6 “Ohio Valley Christian’s kids play hard, Marshall Hood played a whale of a game and Elijah McDonald shot the ball really well,” SGHS head coach Larry Howell said. “In the ﬁrst quarter, our defense was like we were here, but we weren’t here. About the middle of the second quarter is when we picked up our pressure and that’s what has buttered our bread all year.” South Gallia won the rebounding battle by a narrow 29-27 margin, with a 12-10 advantage on the offensive glass. The Rebels’ 16 turnovers were one fewer than the hosts committed. “We’ve had a couple of really good games lately and we have a lot of conﬁdence,” Ohio Valley Christian head coach Steve Rice said. “We played really well in the ﬁrst half, we were ready to play. In the second and third quarters their pressure kind of got to us. We turned the ball over too much and a lot of it was self inﬂected. South Gallia has a really good defense and they set up a lot of pressure on you. They played well and I give them a lot of credit.” Landon Hutchinson led the Rebels with 14 points, nine rebounds and ﬁve assists, followed by Darrin Drenner with 14 points and six rebounds. Joseph Ehman marked 12 points and six boards, Dominick Johnson added six points, while Kane Hutchinson scored ﬁve. Cory Rhodes and Josh Henry rounded out the SGHS scoring with three and two points respectively. South Gallia’s defense was led by Ehman and Drenner with three steals and one block each, while Landon Hutchinson added three steals. “We thought we could take advantage inside with their 2-3 zone,” Howell said. “We struggled a little bit in the ﬁrst half, but Landon Hutchinson, D.J. Drenner and Dominick Johnson got going. Our defense has been our key all year long. We want to make them feel us defensively, and make them play backwards or sideways. We have Drenner and Johnson inside and they can change some shots, so if someone makes a mistake we have an eraser.” The Red and Gold shot 11-of-14 (78.6 percent) from the free throw line and 20-of-51 (39.2 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 5-of-17 (29.4 percent) from three-point range. The Rebels combined for 12 assists, 13 steals, three blocks and 16 turnovers. “We don’t play a real deep bench and that affects us,” Rice said. “Our guys get tired pretty easy when they’re full court pressing us and that deﬁnitely hurts us. I think (South Gallia) probably thought they’d come in here and get an easy win, but we hung with them for the better part of three quarters. I’m happy with our effort, I think we gave them a pretty good game” Marshall Hood and Elijah McDonald led the Defenders with 15 points apiece, with Hood recording a game-best 14 rebounds. Austin Ragan scored seven points and dished out a team-high three assists, while Justin Beaver marked four points and ﬁve rebounds for the Blue and Gold. Hood blocked four shots to lead OVCS defense, while Beaver, McDonald and Dillon Ragan each came away with two steals. The hosts shot 7-of-11 (63.6 percent) from the free throw line and 15-of-43 (34.9 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 4-of-18 (22.2 percent) from three-point range. Collectively, OVCS recorded nine assists, nine steals, ﬁve blocks and 17 turnovers. Ohio Valley Christian will return to action in the OCSAA State Semiﬁnal on Friday night at Ohio Christian University’s Maxwell Center. “In one way, I would have rather not played tonight, just because I wanted to focus on the ﬁnal four,” Rice said. “But, anytime you get a chance to play an in-county game its exciting. The boys were excited for it and I was excited for it, but we have Knights From page 6 “We’re young. We have two juniors and they will be our only seniors next year. Everybody else is a freshman and one sophomore. We’ll be back and we’ll just keep working and working,” said Fields. “We have a lot to learn about the game, not just with the skills but thinking the game and we’ll work on that over the summer. That’s when you get better. From November until now, that’s when we work on plays and work on making a team. I tell the girls it’s an individual commitment. They have to be committed to being a better player. Hopefully, it will show next year when we get started.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 at 132 and sophomore Trey Rossiter at 220 — all ﬁnished ﬁfth. The Blue Devils did not place a wrestler at heavyweight, 138 or 152, whereas New Lexington was third or higher in all three weight classes, including Matt Adams who won the heavyweight title. Hood was the runner-up to New Lexington’s Luke Shively at 220, while Casci captured a 4-3 third-place decision over Chillicothe’s Nick Colley at heavyweight. Meigs had a pair of sixthplace ﬁnishers — sophomore Nathaniel Gearheart at 138 and sophomore Tyson Still at 182. River Valley placed ﬁfth at the Division III meet, collecting 120.5 points, which was nine points behind Crooksville (129.5). Nelsonville-York easily won the team championship, racking up 243 points. Two Scioto Valley Conference clubs — Westfall (191.5) and Zane Trace (147) — took second and third-place respectively. Eastern, who had two sixthplace ﬁnishers in freshman Dillon Aeiker at 113 and senior Chase Williams at 220, ended up with 14 points for 16thplace. The Eagles did score higher then Chesapeake, who had just 13 points. Trimble and Wellston were tied for 14th-place with 17 points apiece. While the Raiders did not win any sectional titles, River Valley did earn a pair of runners-up, a third-place ﬁnish by senior Tyler Ward, and a trio of fourths. River Valley freshman Jacob Edwards was second at 113, losing to Nelsonville-York bigger things coming up this weekend and that’s what we’re focused on.” The Defenders will face Calvary Christian at 7:30 on Friday night. South Gallia will begin its postseason on Wednesday when the second-seeded Rebels face 10th-seeded Southern in the sectional ﬁnal at Meigs High School. “The biggest reason I wanted to play this game was because I wanted to go into the tournament playing,” Howell said. “Southern has won three and a row and we know they’re going to battle us hard. In the past senior Cody Welch with a 9-0 decision in the ﬁnals. George Williams, a senior, was runner-up to Colt Yinger of Nelsonville-York at 145. Ward wrestled at 195, and pinned Brandon Brammer of Trimble in four-and-a-half minutes in the third-place match. The three fourth-place Raiders included freshman Cole Franklin at 126, sophomore Jeremiah Dobbins at 132, and freshman Eric Weber at 170. River Valley’s Grant Gilmore at 152 and Nathan McDaniel at 160 both placed sixth. Gallia Academy, Meigs and River Valley will now head northward for this weekend’s district meets. The Blue Devils and Marauders are in the Division II tournament at Claymont, while the Raiders are in the Division III meet at Heath.

(AP) — A lawyer for Erin Andrews says the sportscaster was shocked, humiliated and traumatized when she discovered that someone had secretly ﬁlmed her nude and posted the video on the Internet. Andrews has ﬁled a $75 million lawsuit against the owner and manager of the Marriott at Vanderbilt as well as the man who pleaded guilty to stalking her. In opening statements in the trial Tuesday, Andrews’ attorney said the hotel’s owner and manager should be held responsible. But their attorney said Andrews’ stalker was solely to blame.

Items are to remain off the cemetery until March 24. 2/24/16 the league miscalculated or was hiding money due the players. “Our union will always look to enforce our economic rights under the collective bargaining agreement,” the NFLPA said in a statement. The issue was whether speciﬁc revenue the league called exempt from being applied toward the salary cap actually should be counted. The NFL said the decision will “increase the number of seasons over which the league’s investments in stadium projects will be recouped from local stadium revenues.” The union calculated the money excluded exceeded $100 million over three years. A new salary cap ﬁgure will be announced before the NFL’s business year begins March 9.

The Buckeyes’ shots weren’t falling, and they let a doubledigit lead evaporate in the second half. A loss to the struggling Cornhuskers would have been devastating to their NCAA Tournament hopes. JaQuan Lyle wouldn’t let that happen, scoring all 19 of his points after halftime, including six in overtime to carry Ohio State to a 65-62 victory Saturday night. “A month ago we probably would have shut down and they would have won the game in regulation,” Lyle said. “We didn’t do that today. We kept ﬁghting, got to overtime and pulled the game out for a big win.” Lyle’s layup broke a 62-62 tie with 31 seconds left, and the Huskers missed on three more chances before Ohio State secured its fourth win in a row and sixth in eight games. Ohio State (18-10, 10-5 Big Ten) closes the regular season with three games against Top 25 opponents — home and away against Michigan State and at home against Iowa. There’s still more work to do for the Buckeyes to become a viable candidate for the NCAA Tournament, but losing to the conference’s ninth-place team would have stained their resume. “This is a heck of a place to play and Nebraska had a lot on the line, (too),” Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. “From that perspective, we’re very excited about the win even though we might not have played as well as we could. But they had a lot to do with that.” Keita Bates-Diop had 16 points and Jae’Sean Tate and Marc Loving added 15 apiece for Ohio State, with Tate also grabbing 12 rebounds. The Buckeyes shot 38.9 percent and were just 3 of 14 on 3-pointers. “The rim was messing with us today,” Lyle said. Jack McVeigh led the Huskers (14-14, 6-9) with 16 points, Andrew White III had 14 and Glynn Watson Jr. added 10. Nebraska shot a season-low 27.1 percent from the ﬁeld and went 9 of 35 from 3-point range. White, just 3 for 17 for the game, made a 3-pointer with 54 seconds left in regulation to complete the Huskers’ comeback from 11 points down and put them up 56-54. Lyle’s two free throws with nine seconds left tied it at 56, and the game went to overtime after Mickey Mitchell stole the ball from Watson at midcourt. Both teams slogged through the ﬁrst half, combining for four scores on the ﬁrst 24 possessions. The Buckeyes scored just two points through the opening 9 ½ minutes. But the Huskers were just as bad and could never capitalize on Ohio State’s horrid start. “This is a painful loss,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. “If you don’t feel this at the depth of your soul as a player or coach, you’re not a competitor. When we watch it on tape, we’re going to see our errors and we’re going to make sure we get better from this.” Hilton apologizes after Cavs’ Daytona 500 win gives Hamlin time in spotlight Irving bitten by bed bugs OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Hilton Hotels apologized Tuesday after Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving said he was bitten by bed bugs during a weekend stay in downtown Oklahoma City. Irving played just nine minutes on Sunday in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team blamed ﬂu-like symptoms, but Irving later said he was not feeling well after discovering bed bugs on a pillow and ending up on a couch instead of his bed at the Skirvin Hilton. He said he didn’t get much sleep Saturday night and had a sore back, too. Hilton and environmental health inspectors from the Oklahoma CityCounty Health Department both called it an isolated case and the American Race” by 0.010 seconds, the closest ﬁnish in Daytona 500 history. At last, a win in a crown jewel event. All that swagger had ﬁnally transferred onto the race track to give Hamlin a crowning moment in his career. Career victory No. 27 stood above all the others and pushed Hamlin into an elite category of driver, the one place he’s always wanted to be. The win was considerably special for Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing organization in that it ended Gibbs’ 23-year drought in NASCAR’s biggest race. The three-time Super Bowl-winning coach now has two Daytona 500 rings. It was also Toyota’s ﬁrst victory in “The Great American Race,” and came three months after Toyota celebrated its ﬁrst Cup championship, won by Kyle Busch and Gibbs. But on a personal level for Hamlin, the victory gives him the clout he’s worked hard to earn throughout the garage. In a sport in which few drivers are willing to lash out at the sanctioning body, Hamlin has never shied away from criticizing procedures. He’s been ﬁned several times for using Twitter to take a shot at NASCAR, and he’s yet to back down from pointing out injustices or inconsistencies. Behind the scenes, Hamlin was the driving force in unifying the drivers into what ultimately grew into a driver council that debuted last season. Hamlin was the ringleader of a group text chain of drivers who were disgruntled with the on-track product and the direction NASCAR wanted to take with the rules package. The group text still exists, but also graduated into a formal council of elected drivers who meet with NASCAR to discuss various issues. Hamlin followed the recent deal that created charters for the owners, and pored over the agreement to see if the drivers were being slighted. Although no one would credit him as the leader of the garage, his behindthe-scenes efforts to unify the drivers into one collective voice has paid dividends for all the competitors.

The citycounty health agency said it had provided suggestions to treat the room and the hotel has been cooperative. “Skirvin Hotel management had already started the process of corrective action as we were launching an on sight inspection today at the hotel,” the department said. Adjacent rooms were inspected and no other signs of bedbugs were noted. Despite playing most of the game without Irving, the Cavs beat the Thunder 115-92. Irving said he felt better Monday, when he scored a team-high 30 points in Cleveland’s 96-88 loss to the Pistons. NFL teams use scouting combine for more than numbers game 60576582 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Denny Hamlin burst onto the scene a decade ago when he showed up at Daytona International Speedway as a rookie and won the ﬁrst exhibition race of Speedweeks. Hamlin beat Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon that night, and an article the next day from a newspaper in a city with deep racing roots opened with “Denny Who Did What?” It was quite the arrival for a cherub-faced short track racer from Virginia who had clawed his way into a ride with Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin had dreamed of becoming a NASCAR star his entire childhood, and he cheered hero Bill Elliott twice a year from the grandstands at Richmond International Raceway. Racing was all he wanted to do, and if it didn’t work out, he might have made a career as a welder. His success was immediate, two wins and a spot in the Chase as a rookie. He ﬁnished third in the overall standings and seemed to be on the fast track toward a Sprint Cup title. But the title never came, not even during an eight-win season in 2010 when he let Johnson off the ropes and coughed away the championship. It was an embarrassing defeat for Hamlin, who had morphed along the way from the shy and socially awkward Southern kid into a rich race car driver with a swagger and an entourage of wealthy playboys. He became friends with Michael Jordan and Bubba Watson; spent an offseason in Arizona working on his golf game; bought courtside seats to the Charlotte Hornets; and became known for throwing epic parties. It’s a glamorous lifestyle, but it came with a catch: Failure to win big races and championships opened up Hamlin to criticism that he was incapable of taking the next step in his career. He proved otherwise Sunday by winning his ﬁrst Daytona 500 with a dramatic last-lap pass of teammate Matt Kenseth, then a door-to-door battle to the ﬁnish line with Martin Truex. Hamlin won “The Great INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Football fans see the NFL’s annual scouting combine as merely a numbers game that comes down to the times, jumps and drills they witness on television. NFL executives are more interested in getting behind-the-scenes answers through medical checks and personal interviews. It’s a delicate balancing act. “When we ﬁnally get the measurables on the underclassmen, when we ﬁnd out where they are medically, where they are physically, where they are with the interviews, then we’ll have a better idea (of where they rank),” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said on a conference call with reporters Monday, one day before the ﬁrst players begin arriving in Indianapolis. Sure, the workouts matter. Chris Johnson’s draft skyrocketed after breaking the combine record with a 4.24-second 40-yard dash in 2008. Cornerback Byron Jones jumped up draft boards — literally — after a record-breaking broad jump of 12 feet, 3 inches last February. Both wound up being ﬁrst-round picks. The ramiﬁcations for those who underperform or sit out can be damaging, too. In 2014, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater decided not to throw in Indy, then had a less-than-stellar pro day at Louisville. The result: A player thought to be in the running as the No. 1 overall pick was still available at the end of the ﬁrst round, a plummet that cost Bridgewater big bucks. He led the Minnesota Vikings to the 2015 NFC North title this season. The most costly mistakes come when teams miss red ﬂags. Two years after Cleveland took Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel, his off-the-ﬁeld problems have led to wide speculation the Browns will release their once future franchise quarterback. San Diego and Oakland found themselves in similar dilemmas with Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell through the years. That’s why longtime NFL decisionmakers, such as Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian, insist the most essential component during combine week is what nobody actually sees — real answers to some basic questions from the more than 300 players who show up each February, especially from players who have histories of injuries or off-theﬁeld troubles. Some other things to watch this week: MEDICAL TESTS: Nobody may have more at stake this week than two of this year’s top-rated linebackers, UCLA’s Myles Jack and Notre Dame’s Jaylon Smith. Both ﬁnished their seasons with torn knee ligaments and while both could be taken among the ﬁrst 15 picks, this week will be the ﬁrst time NFL doctors have a real chance to get a peek at their recoveries. PERSONNEL MOVES: The next big players in the NFL are likely to take a backseat to some of the current biggest names in the league during the ﬁrst two days of the combine, when coaches and general managers typically provide offseason updates. With free agency looming, expect to hear plenty about the futures of players such as Robert Grifﬁn III, Peyton Manning and Manziel among others. RULES CHANGES: The NFL’s competition committee won’t take any votes this week. But it will talk about potential proposals at the March owners’ meetings in Boca Raton, Florida. Hot topics this year could include a more stringent deﬁnition of what’s considered a catch, and whether players who receive multiple personal fouls in a game should be ejected. BUYER BEWARE: Every year, some player turns heads with big numbers, only to fail miserably. Past workout warriors on this list include Brent Fullwood, Mike Mamula and Tony Mandarich. One thing that is almost certain is it will happen again to some team this year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
