Changes to
SNAP benefits
due to shutdown

Wednesday, January 16, 2019 s 50¢

Partners for Justice

MEIGS COUNTY — Due to the partial U.S.
government shutdown, February SNAP (food
stamp) beneﬁts will be available on the EBT (Ohio
Direction) card on Jan. 16, 2019, and are meant to
be used in February. No additional beneﬁts will be
available in February.
This means that participants may have two
months’ worth of food dollars on their account this
month. No food dollars will be added in February.
The early food dollars are meant to help with next
month’s food. SNAP-participating customers are
encouraged to plan their purchases carefully so
that they have money available to meet their food
needs.

Middleport holds
first reading of
water rate increase
By Kayla Hawthorne
Special to the Sentinel

MIDDLEPORT—
The Middleport Village
Council updated the
town Monday evening
on the water rate and
inﬂationary increase.
The council had a
ﬁrst reading of Ordinance 119, which is to
increase the water rate.
The new ordinance
will read, “The Village
of Middleport has utilized the expert advice
of Rural Community
Assistance Program
(RCAP) and has determined that an increase
in price is mandatory
in order to pay for the
operation of the water
system and upgrades to
the system.”
The new water rates,
which will be effective February 1, will
increase by 12 percent
for the minimum usage
of up to 2,000 gallons.
The residential rate for
the minimum will be
$21.09 and the senior
price is $19.21.
The prices for water
usage above the minimum are as follows: the
ﬁrst 3,000 gallons will
be 81 cents per 100
gallons; next 10,000
gallons will be 66 cents
per 100 gallons; next
15,000 gallons will
be 63 cents per 100
gallons; above 30,000
gallons will be 54 cents

per 100 gallons.
The council has not
yet voted to pass this
ordinance and Monday
night was the ﬁrst
reading.
In other business,
the council appointed
Brian Conde as the Village Council President
and Rick Hedges as the
Village Solicitor. The
council also approved
Home National Bank’s
request to design and
place a village entrance
sign on a lot bordering
Pomeroy.
Village Administrator
Joe Woodall announced
they would be working Wednesday night
on a sewer repair by
General Tire on North
Second Avenue starting around 10 p.m.
Woodall said working
at night would be the
safest way to complete the job, due to
the heavy trafﬁc ﬂow
during the day. The
repair is expected to
take eight hours and he
warned there will be
a lot of noise from 10
p.m. to midnight from
the use of a jackhammer.
The next Middleport
Village Council meeting will be held Monday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m.
at the Village Hall on
Pearl Street.

POMEROY — Numerous individuals from
agencies across Meigs
County came together on
Friday for the ﬁrst meeting of the Partners for
Justice program.
Organized by the
Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley and
Victim Assistance Director Theda Petrasko,
along with their staff
members, the goal of
the program is to better serve the victims of
crime in the county.
In welcoming those

in attendance, Stanley
noted that the idea for
Partners for Justice
began last year when
Petrasko came back from
a conference with the
idea to put together a
group of partner agencies
to be sure that there are
no gaps in the services
provided to victims of
crime. While the initial
idea was to serve victims
of domestic violence, the
program is planning to
reach all victims of crime
in the county.

The third
Wednesday of
each month,

through
December,

Stormy Daniels sues police officers
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Porn star
Stormy Daniels sued
several Columbus police
ofﬁcers Monday for $2
million over her arrest
at a strip club last summer, an incident that
sparked criticism of the
law used to arrest her
and led to other lawsuits against the city.
Daniels’ federal defamation lawsuit alleges
that ofﬁcers conspired
to retaliate against the
actress because of her
claims she had sex with
Donald Trump before he
became president.
Daniels, whose real
name is Stephanie Clifford, was arrested in
July on suspicion of
inappropriately touching a female undercover
ofﬁcer. Two other club
employees also were
arrested.
Prosecutors dropped
charges against Daniels
hours later, saying the
law cited in her arrest
applied only to those

who regularly performed at the club.
The four ofﬁcers
named in the lawsuit
were Trump supporters
who saw an opportunity to defame Daniels
after they learned she
planned to perform
at Sirens men’s club,
according to the lawsuit, ﬁled by Daniels’
attorney, Michael
Avenatti, a frequent
Trump critic who at one
time considered running
for president.
The ofﬁcers “believed
that Ms. Clifford was
damaging President
Trump and they thereafter entered into a
conspiracy to arrest her
during her performance
in Columbus in retaliation for the public statements she had made
regarding President
Trump,” according to
the lawsuit.
Ofﬁcers also believed
arresting Daniels would
damage her credibility
in any future remarks

she made about the
president, the lawsuit
said.
The police department declined comment
while an internal investigation of the city vice
squad continues.
The 10-year-old law
used to arrest Daniels
states that dancers at
“sexually oriented” businesses are prohibited
from touching customers and vice versa.
Last year, City Attorney Zach Klein called
the law “glaringly inequitable” because its
applicability depends
on how regularly the
employee performs and
should not be enforced.
He also said employees
who touch police are
not in violation because
on-duty public ofﬁcials
are not legally considered patrons.
“We’re aware of the
lawsuit and are working
to determine the best
course of action for the
city,” Meredith Tucker,

a Klein spokeswoman,
said Monday.
The two dancers
arrested with Daniels
that night have ﬁled a
similar lawsuit.
Those arrests and a
fatal shooting have led
to internal and federal
investigations of the
city’s vice squad.
In August, a member
of the squad shot and
killed a woman in his
unmarked car; her family members said she was
working as a prostitute
in the area.
The following month,
Police Chief Kim Jacobs
suspended the vice
squad’s street-level
duties, and the FBI took
over an investigation of
the unit at her request.
The squad resumed
some investigative
work late last year. Two
detectives involved in
the Daniels’ arrest and
the ofﬁcer accused of
shooting the woman
have been relieved of
duty.

Fire damages home in Hartford
By Mindy Kearns
Special to OVP

HARTFORD — A two-story
house was heavily damaged by
ﬁre Saturday night in the Town
of Hartford, according to a
spokesman from the New Haven
and Community Volunteer Fire
Department.
Fireman Matt Gregg said the
call came in at 11:03 p.m. to a
house located at 1351 Sliding
Hill Creek Road. The owner’s
name is unknown, he added.

The caller originally stated
someone might possibly be in the
house, but when crews arrived
at the scene, there was no one
inside. Assisting the New Haven
department were the Mason Volunteer Fire Department, Mason
County EMS, and Mason County
Sheriff’s Department.
Gregg said the ﬁre is believed
to have begun from ashes discarded from a wood burning
heater. Firemen remained on
the scene for approximately two
hours.

The ﬁre marks the second
within a week in Hartford that
started from a wood burner. On
Wednesday, a house on California
Street also received extensive
damage from a wood burning
heater accident. Firemen from
New Haven, Mason, Pomeroy
and Middleport departments
responded to that call. Occupants
escaped the 9:12 a.m. ﬁre without injury.

Newspaper cutting print
editions 2 days a week
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Blade newspaper in Toledo says it will stop
publishing its print edition two
days a week.
The newspaper announced
Tuesday that it will be distributed only by e-delivery two days
each week starting in the week
of Feb. 24.
Blade executives did not specify which days will be cut.
The owners of the newspaper, Toledo-based
Block Communications Inc., say The Blade is
focusing on growing its digital news operations.
Chairman Allan Block says the newspaper will
maintain its news department and remain ﬂexible on implementing the digital future
The newspaper’s digital products will continue
to be available seven days a week.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — A former Ohio
principal of the year convicted on charges of having sex with two female high school students has
been sentenced to two years in prison.
A Ross County judge on Monday sentenced the
former Chillicothe High School principal to prison despite recommendations for no prison time.
The judge said 36-year-old Jeffrey Fisher had
turned the school into his “own hunting ground.”
Fisher entered an Alford plea last year on two
sexual battery counts in a deal in which prosecutors agreed to recommend no jail time. An Alford
plea asserts innocence while acknowledging
prosecutors have enough evidence for a conviction.
Prosecutors have said the sexual relationships
with the two students happened during the 200910 and 2011-12 school years.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday
for Fisher’s attorney.

Ex-governor, Trump critic
John Kasich lands agent
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican John
Kasich (KAY’-sik) has a talent agent.
United Talent Agency announced its new client
Monday, as Kasich was succeeded as Ohio governor by Republican Mike DeWine.
Kasich said in a release that he’s excited to
keep his voice active “across the world” and to
share his experiences and observations “to help
improve the lives of others.”
The 66-year-old Kasich is weighing a third run
for president in 2020 against Republican Donald
Trump, whom he often criticizes. Kasich says he
would prefer to run as a Republican but could
also run as an independent.
United Talent says its role as his agent will be
to “help Kasich navigate the next phase of his
career in civic engagement, by continuing to
inspire audiences to lead purpose-driven lives of
service.”

Federal workers in 2 of
Ohio’s big counties get help
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The county that
includes Ohio’s capital city will give furloughed federal employees tax help.
Franklin County’s treasurer said Monday that
those affected federal employees in the Columbus
area will get speeded up consideration for extensions to pay their property tax bills.
Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan says she hopes
doing this will help with some of the stress facing
federal workers.
In Toledo, the Lucas County treasurer announced
last week that she’ll grant extensions for federal
workers who won’t get paid during the shutdown.
Treasurer Lindsay Webb says she made the move
after hearing from government employees caught
in the shutdown.
The partial government shutdown entered its
24th day on Monday without an end in sight.

Doc gave near-death
patients excessive pain meds
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio hospital
system says an intensive care doctor ordered
“signiﬁcantly excessive and potentially fatal”
doses of pain medicine for at least 27 near-death
patients in the past few years after families asked
to stop lifesaving measures.
The Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health
System says it ﬁred the doctor, notiﬁed authorities and removed 20 employees from patient care
pending further investigation. Those include
pharmacists and nurses who administered medication.
The announcement came after a family sued,
alleging medicine was used to hasten a patient’s
death. The lawsuit was ﬁled Monday against the
health system, a pharmacist, a nurse and the doctor, which it identiﬁes as William Husel.
Case records list no attorney to comment on
Husel’s behalf. There is no public personal phone
listing for him.

“make them feel the

DeSantis on Wednesday called for sanctions
against Airbnb unless it
reverses its decision barring lodging listings in
the disputed West Bank
in the Middle East.

The Republican governor, who repeatedly
touted his views on Israel
while on the campaign
trail last year, criticized
the online lodging marketplace for a policy he
said unfairly targets Jewish people.

THEIR VIEW

Discovering
treasures
in the trash
I guess you could call me a hoarder, at least
when it comes to memorabilia and clothes. I don’t
feel like the label ﬁts, but my wife keeps telling me
I need to get rid of clothes I don’t
wear anymore, so maybe it does.
I do know that I don’t like anyone
messing with my memorabilia, no
matter whose way it may be in. I
put stuff where I want it to be, and
I expect it to be in the same place
when I go looking for it.
Jeff
And that’s where my garage comes
Gilliland
in.
Contributing
From time to time my wife
columnist
decides to clean our garage, mostly
because, at least in my estimation,
she has ﬁlled it with enough stuff that she doesn’t
have room for any more stuff. So she cleans it
out to make more room. On the other hand, she
might tell you the reason she cleans the garage is
because I’m too lazy to help.
And she might be right. But that’s only because
I don’t feel like I should have to clean up stuff I
didn’t put there in the ﬁrst place. She would probably argue with that, too. But hey, in this space at
least, the author always gets the last word.
Anyway, the most recent time my wife cleaned
the garage, she completely rearranged it because
she added a couple nice, new storage cabinets.
The thing is, she did not ask my opinion where
things should go, or what things I thought should
be thrown in the trash.
For instance, when I came home to ﬁnd the
garage had been rearranged, I found that she
had placed the storage cabinets in a location that
blocks the use of my dartboard, and there’s not
many other good places for it. A few moments
later I went to take the trash out. When I opened
the trash can lead, I saw a bunch of my old hats.
One of them was a black, block-O Ohio State ball
cap like one the legendary Woody Hayes used
to wear. On the underside of cap’s bill are three
autographs — Archie Grifﬁn, John Cooper and
Kirk Herbstreit — that my oldest son acquired for
me when an Ohio State caravan came to Hillsboro
many summers ago.
I did not want any of the half dozen or so hats
thrown away, but since she is more than aware
that I am a huge Ohio State football fan, I assumed
she also knew the hat was off limits. It holds
special meaning, not so much because of the autographs, but because my son obtained them for me
when he was quite young, and I have kept it all
these years.
From time to time, when the same son is home
from Illinois for an Ohio State football game, he
will hunt the hat down and wear it during a game.
So, when I found my Woody hat in the trash,
let’s just say I was little displeased.
The reason my wife cleaned the garage on that
occasion was because she was having a garage
sale. That’s something else I detest, because not
only does my garage (I call it mine because I
spend a lot more time there besides anyone except
our cat) get ﬁlled with junk the week before and
during the garage sale, it often stays there long
after the garage sale is over, denying me access to
my pool table.
I do not use the pool table much anymore, but
if the mood arises, I like it to be available, without
junk stacked on top of it.
The day after I rescued my hat, I was perusing
the stuff in the yard sale when I found a very nice
and comfortable Cincinnati Bengals jacket she
was trying to sell. We do not know where the coat
came from, but since no one ever claimed it, and
it was too big for everyone else in the house, I
decided it was mine a few years ago. I do not wear
it often, but when the mood strikes, I like it to be
there.
So, muttering under my breath, I rescued the
Bengals jacket, too, and took it back to its usual
place of rest. But I have not wore it once this year.
That’s because somewhere between the yard sale
and cold weather, my wife took a liking to it and,
despite it being way too big, she has apparently
claimed it as her own.
There is one thing in the garage, though, that
she did not discard or try to sell.
Among my memorabilia is a very small plaque I
received from the Highland County YMCA several
years ago for coaching a ﬂag football team. The
same son that wears the Woody hat played on that
team.
I had lost track of the plaque, but when my wife
was cleaning out the garage she placed it, and several other trophies I received when coaching my
kids, atop a table in the garage. I never paid much
attention to the table until I recently noticed the
plaque among the trophies.
I like the plaque because it reminds me of that
ﬂag football season when our team went undefeated, and did not allow a single point the whole
year.

just do it. As Abraham
Lincoln said, “You cannot

the changes to the law

egates issued a statement Mon­
day that a bill planned by three
delegates would divert $10 mil­
lion from West Virginia’s current
$186 million budget surplus for
wall construction.
Trump is seeking $5.7 billion
overall to fund construction of a
wall along about 235 miles (375
kilometers) of the border, and
the federal government has been
partially shut down as Trump
and Democratic lawmakers are at
an impasse over his request. The
suggested offer from West Vir­
ginia would pay a tiny fraction of
the cost.
Last week a Republican law­
maker in Montana proposed
giving more than $8 million for
the wall, while senators in South
Dakota senators voted to urge
construction of a steel barrier.

Lady Defenders top PCHS

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — After a slow start,
the Lady Eagles ﬂipped the script in the second
half.
The Eastern girls basketball team scored just
one point in the ﬁrst eight minutes of Monday’s
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division bout at
‘The Nest’, but the Lady Eagles fought back and
wound up with a 34-29 victory over Belpre.
The guests led 7-1 by the end of the opening
stanza, as Eastern (9-5, 8-1 TVC Hocking) came
up empty on all-18 ﬁeld goal attempts in the
period.
The host Lady Eagles — coming off a 77-42
setback to Williamstown on Saturday — outscored
Belpre by a 13-to-10 clip in the second quarter,
cutting the Lady Golden Eagle lead to 17-14 at
halftime.
The EHS defense stepped up in the third quarter, holding the guests to just two points. Eastern’s offense tallied 10 points in the stanza and
the hosts headed into the the ﬁnale with a 23-19
advantage.
Belpre scored 10 points over the ﬁnal eight minutes, but Eastern sealed the 34-29 victory with 11
points in the stanza.
For the game, EHS shot 17-of-70 (24.3 percent)
from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-17 (11.8 percent)
from three-point range, while BHS shot 11-of-55
(20 percent) from the ﬁeld, with an 0-of-13 day
from beyond the arc. At the free throw line, Belpre
was 7-of-10 (70 percent) and Eastern was 2-of-7
(28.6 percent).
Alyson Bailey led the winning tally with a dozen
points on six ﬁeld goals. Next was Kelsey Casto
with seven points, followed by Ashton Guthrie
with six points on the team’s only two three-pointers. Olivia Barber contributed ﬁve points to the

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — It
must have been some halftime
speech.
The Ohio Valley Christian
girls basketball team opened up
an eight-point halftime advantage with a pivotal 24-4 third
quarter surge and ultimately
rolled to a convincing 41-17
victory over host Parkersburg
Christian on Monday night in
a non-conference matchup in
Wood County.
The Lady Defenders (7-8)
had some offensive struggles in
the ﬁrst half as the guests mustered a 4-2 advantage through
eight minutes of play, then
made an 8-2 second quarter
run en route to claiming a 12-4

cushion at the break.
OVCS, however, had the ﬂood
gates open in the third stanza as
the Blue and Gold had six different players score at least one
basket during a 24-4 charge that
increased the lead out to 36-8
headed into the ﬁnale.
Emily Childers and Leticia
Araujo respectively contributed
seven and six points during
that frame, plus four other Lady
Defenders combined for 11
points in helping OVCS build a
28-point cushion.
Ohio Valley Christian was
outscored by a 9-5 margin down
the stretch, but still had more
than enough breathing room to
wrap up the 24-point triumph.

RACINE, Ohio — If nothing else, it was six
points closer than the last time.
The Southern girls basketball — which dropped
a 60-13 decision at Waterford on Dec. 3 — fell to
the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division leader
again on Monday in Meigs County, this time by a
53-12 count.
Southern (0-14, 0-10 TVC Hocking) trailed the
Lady Wildcats by a 14-to-3 clip after eight minutes
were played, and Waterford extended its advantage to 30-6 by halftime.
WHS pitched a shut out in the third canto and
headed into the ﬁnale with a 41-6 edge. The Lady
Tornadoes tallied seven points over the ﬁnal eight

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— After a long layoff, the
shots just weren’t falling.
Playing for the ﬁrst
time since Dec. 29, the
Meigs girls basketball
team hit just 20 percent
of its ﬁeld goal attempts
on Monday inside Larry
R. Morrison Gymnasium,
allowing Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division
guest Vinton County to
stay perfect with a 47-38
victory.
Meigs (9-5, 4-3 TVC
Ohio) never led in the
contest, tying the game
at 2-2, but trailing 12-8
by the end of the ﬁrst
quarter.
Vinton County (13-0,
6-0) began the second
quarter with an 11-to-2
run, and led 23-10 with
four minutes left in the
half. Neither team made a
ﬁeld goal over the remainder of the half, with the
Lady Marauders going
on a 7-to-2 run on free
throws to cut the VCHS
lead to 25-17 at halftime.
After a bucket by each
side in the opening minute of the second half, the
defenses took over for the
next two minutes. Out of
the offensive cold spell,
the Lady Marauders went
on a 7-to-4 run, trimming
the VCHS lead to 31-26
with 40 seconds left in
the third.
Vinton County, however, hit back-to-back shots
to end the third quarter
and then made the opening bucket of the fourth,
stretching the margin to

After coming up empty
on their ﬁrst dozen threepoint tries, the Lady
Marauders sank a pair
of trifectas as part of an
8-to-4 run, that cut the
VCHS lead to 41-34 with
3:55 left in the game. The
hosts were held off the
board of the next 1:20,
however, as Vinton County extended its advantage
back to 11.
Meigs made it back to
within seven, at 45-38,
with 1:27 to play, but
failed to score again, and
the guests sealed the
47-38 win.
Following the setback,
MHS head coach Jarrod
Kasun acknowledged the
long layoff and commended his team for staying
in the game despite not
shooting well.
“We worked hard over
our break,” Kasun said.
“We’re coming off of a
two-week break, that’s
not always optimal, we
conditioned ourselves, we
just didn’t shoot the ball
well. They’re a very good
team, they have a lot of
length, they have very
good players, if we could
have just had a couple
more shots fall. We were
always in the game, that’s
a testament to our kids
that we were never out of
the game even as bad as
we shot it.
“We gotta come back in
the gym with a renewed
since of urgency. I think
that was one of the problems, we got up too quick
for that game, then we
plateaued, then we went
down hill and the shots

didn’t fall. I’m happy for
our kids, we played probably the best team in the
area very solidly, we just
have to make shots. We
held them down some
too, so it was a very good
game.”
For the game, Meigs
was 10-of-50 (20 percent)
from the ﬁeld, including
2-of-17 (11.7 percent)
from three-point range.
Meanwhile, Vinton
County made 15-of-46
(32.6 percent) ﬁeld goal
tries, including 2-of-14
(14.3 percent) threepoint attempts. At the
free throw line, MHS was
16-of-21 (76.2 percent)
and VCHS was 15-of-19
(78.9 percent).

The Lady Vikings won
the rebounding battle by
a 42-to-25 count, including 11-to-9 on the offensive end, but committed
17 turnovers, seven more
than Meigs. The Lady
Marauders combined for
seven steals, seven assists
and three rejections,
while VCHS ended with
eight steals and eight
assists.
The hosts were led by
Kassidy Betzing with 14
points and three assists,
with a 12-of-13 performance from the foul line.

Lady Spartans top RV at home, 85-41
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

ALBANY, Ohio — It was
practically over before it
began.
Rachel Richardson scored
half of her game-high 26
points during a 26-12 run in
the opening quarter, allowing
host Alexander to cruise to an
85-41 decision over the River
Valley girls basketball team on
Monday night in a Tri-Valley

Conference Ohio Division
matchup at The Alley in Athens County.
The visiting Lady Raiders
(4-11, 0-7 TVC Ohio) managed
to keep things competitive in
the second frame as Kaylee
Gillman buried two trifectas,
but the Lady Spartans (13-1,
6-1) still managed to make
an 18-11 run while securing a
44-23 cushion at the break.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio —
The mistakes proved a bit too
costly.
The South Gallia girls basketball team committed 24 of
its 28 turnovers through three
quarters of play, allowing visiting Federal Hocking to claim
a season sweep in wire-towire fashion on Monday night
during a 58-39 decision in a
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Gallia
County.
The host Lady Rebels (5-11,
3-7 TVC Hocking) had seven
miscues in each of the ﬁrst two
periods, which provided plenty
of opportunistic moments for
the Lady Lancers (5-8, 5-5) to
build a 12-point halftime advantage.
The Red and Gold were
never closer as the hosts committed another 10 turnovers
in the third canto, and FHHS
beneﬁted with a 23-9 surge
that resulted in a commanding
54-28 cushion headed into the
ﬁnale.
SGHS held the Maroon and
Gold scoreless over the ﬁnal
4:33 of regulation and won the
fourth stanza by an 11-4 margin, but ultimately never came
closer than the ﬁnal 19-point
outcome.
The Lady Lancers also won
the ﬁrst meeting between these
two programs by a 67-36 margin in Stewart back on Dec. 3,
2018.
South Gallia found itself in
early holes of 4-0 and 9-2, but
rallied with a quick 4-0 run
that was capped by a Christine
Grifﬁth basket with 3:19 left
in the opener — trimming the
deﬁcit down to a single possession at 9-6.
The guests, however,
answered with back-to-back
trifectas from Emma Beha and
Paige Tolson to extend the lead
out to 15-6 with 1:48 remaining. SGHS did respond with the
ﬁnal three points of the frame,
cutting the lead down to 15-9
through eight minutes of play.
Fed Hock ballooned its
advantage out to 11 points
twice in the opening ﬁve minutes of the second quarter, but
a Makayla Waugh basket with
2:02 left in the half ended a 4-0
run that trimmed the deﬁcit

The Lady Lancers countered
with a 7-2 surge the rest of the
way, which included a bankin trifecta from Tolson right
before the halftime buzzer —
giving the guests a 31-19 edge
at the intermission.
South Gallia — which shot
36 percent from the ﬁeld in the
ﬁrst half — came up empty on
its ﬁrst 10 offensive possessions of the second half, which
included seven turnovers to go
along with three missed shot
attempts.
The end result was an 8-1
surge that nearly allowed Federal Hocking to double up its
lead while holding a 39-20 edge
at the 4:29 mark.

complete the 19-point contest.
The Lady Rebels easily won
the battle on the boards after
posting a 37-27 overall advantage, which included a 21-17
edge on the offensive glass. The
Lady Lancers — who produced
18 more shot attempts — also
had 11 total turnovers, 17 fewer

Trimble claws
past Lady
Falcons, 52-28
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — A second half slump.
Host Trimble made a 33-12 surge after halftime,
turning a closely-contested 19-16 edge into a commanding 52-28 victory over the Wahama girls basketball team on Monday night during a Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division matchup in Athens
County.
The visiting Lady Falcons (5-6, 3-6 TVC Hocking) kept things competitive in the opening 16
minutes of play as the Lady Tomcats (4-11, 3-7)
built small leads of 11-9 and 19-16 through each of
the ﬁrst two frames.
THS, however, found its rhythm after the break
as the hosts made a 10-3 third quarter run to
extend their cushion out to double digits at 29-19,
then the Red and Gray closed regulation with a
resounding 23-9 surge to wrap up the 24-point
outcome.
Trimble outrebounded the guests by a 29-21
overall margin and also committed a dozen turnovers, compared to 21 miscues by the Red and
White.
The Lady Falcons netted 10-of-33 ﬁeld goal
attempts for 30 percent, including a 1-of-5 effort
from 3-point range for 20 percent. The guests
were also 7-of-16 at the free throw line for 44 percent.
Emma Gibbs paced WHS with 14 points, followed by Hannah Rose with nine points and Torre
VanMatre with four markers. Lauren Noble completed the Wahama tally with one point.
Gibbs and Noble also led the Lady Falcons with
seven rebounds apiece.
Trimble made 19-of-45 ﬁeld goal attempts for
42 percent, including a 1-of-12 performance from
behind the arc for eight percent. The hosts were
also 13-of-17 from the charity stripe for 76 percent.
Jayne Six paced the Lady Tomcats a doubledouble effort of 21 points and 14 rebounds, followed by Emily Young with eight points and Skylar Moore with seven markers.
Laikyn Imler and Briana Orsborne contributed
six points apiece, while Sophia Ives and Ashlynn
Hardy completed the winning tally with two
points each.
Wahama hosts Point Pleasant on Wednesday
and returns to TVC Hocking action Thursday
when it welcomes Eastern for a TVC Hocking
matchup.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
issue moves to May
NEW YORK (AP) — The upcoming Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is moving its publication date, pushing it from the chill of February
to warmer May, closer to bikini-weather.
Editor of the issue MJ Day tells The Associated Press the shift makes more sense for greater
impact. “This is where it works, this is where
it’s great,” she said. “It’s always hard to think
about buying a swimsuit when its 18 degrees
out.”
Day, who spoke by phone from a warm but
undisclosed spot where some of the upcoming
swimsuit issue will be photographed, said May
is the time when many readers start to think
about beaches and pools.
The switch also unlocks other locations in the
world for the models and photographers, who
usually need to have wrapped up photographing
eight weeks before the issue goes to print.
There was no special reason the month of
February was initially chosen 55 years ago for
the swimsuit edition. Back then, it was picked
to liven up a slow sports winter month.

Chiefs’ Reid trying to rewrite history
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
(AP) — Andy Reid sat
inside an opulent suite
high above the ﬁeld in
Arrowhead Stadium six

He had just been ﬁred
by the Philadelphia

appearance, and by all
accounts he should have
been weary and beaten.
But he was instead wired

critics that claimed he
lost it those ﬁnal years in
Philly.
Eager to prove to everyone that he can win the
big game.
Now, the affable coach
with the self-deprecating
sense of humor has the
Chiefs one game away
from playing in their ﬁrst
Super Bowl in 49 years.
Standing in the way
are the New England
Patriots, a team that has
ruined Reid’s postseason
dreams on multiple occasions, but who will have
to earn their own trip
back to the Super Bowl
by beating the AFC’s top
seed on the road Sunday.
“I think this is big for
our fans. It’s big for our
family,” Reid said Monday. “There’s a lot that
goes into it, from the
head coach’s standpoint
to the players’ standpoint.
“There’s going to be a
lot of distractions here,”
he added. “It’s important
to focus on the job.”
It’s the job Reid sought
when he signed on in
2013, taking over a franchise coming off a twowin season and marked
by on- and off-ﬁeld misery. And getting to this
point hasn’t been easy,
either, with more playoff
disappointments marking
his ﬁrst ﬁve seasons.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is shown Saturday during a news conference following an NFL
divisional football playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts, in Kansas City, Mo. There is perhaps
no one under greater pressure to win this postseason than Reid, whose Hall of Fame-worthy resumes
includes everything but a Super Bowl triumph.

never scored a touchdown.
Twice they’ve blown
18-point leads, something
that has only happened
two other times in NFL
history.
Three years ago, the
Chiefs ﬁnally won their
ﬁrst playoff game in more
than two decades only
to blow their shot at the
AFC title game in New
England. The Chiefs
trailed by 14 in the fourth
quarter, but used 16 plays
to score the ﬁrst of two
touchdowns they needed,
and ultimately ran out of
time.
“I don’t get caught up
in any of that,” said Reid,
who even after a 31-13
win over the Colts on
Saturday is just 2-4 in
the playoffs with Kansas
City. “I’m into history
— I love history — but
only if it makes you better. You learn from it and
move forward. That’s the
important thing.”
To be sure, Reid has
had plenty of learning
opportunities.
He’s been in 25 playoff
games over the course
of 20 seasons as a head
coach, the most of anybody without winning
the Super Bowl.
In fact, his one Super
Bowl appearance —
when the Eagles were

beaten by Bill Belichick
and the Patriots in 2005
— is the fewest of any
coach with 20 playoff
games.
That loss to the Patriots, of course, was as
deﬂating as any postseason defeat.
The Eagles trailed
that game by 10 points
late, but used up several
precious minutes with a
series of short passing
plays to get the touchdown they needed. They
were left with little time
to march for the tying
ﬁeld goal, and Reid was
saddled with criticism for
his poor time management.
It has turned out to
be a criticism that has
haunted Reid most of his
career.
His guys have never
been on board with it,
though. Reid has always
been considered a players’ coach, passing on
the praise and shouldering the blame, whether
it was during his days
as an assistant coach in
Green Bay or when he
was leading Philadelphia
to a series of NFC title
games.
“I’ve learned a ton
just from being around
Coach Reid,” said Patrick
Mahomes, the Chiefs’
record-setting young

quarterback. “I think he’s
a huge reason why we’ve
had success this season.”
Reid showed against
Indianapolis he’s learned
from past playoff failures,
eschewing a conservative
approach from yesteryear
for a go-for-broke mentality. The Chiefs went
for it on fourth down on
four occasions, converted
three of them, and set the
tone early in a game they
dominated the whole
way.
“It’s always a tough
matchup against Andy,”
Belichick said. “I’ve never
had the opportunity to
coach with Andy, but
we’ve competed many
times, and played him in
a lot of preseason games
in Philadelphia and then
obviously in Kansas City,
and going back to when
we were coordinators
prior to head coaches.
“I’ve always had a
tremendous amount of
respect for the way he
does things,” he added.
“He does as good a job as
anybody in the National
Football League. Has
for a long time. Gets the
most out of his players,
puts them in the right
position, plays very
competitively always but
always in a respectful
way, the way the game
should be played.”

Sooners QB Kyler Murray declares for NFL draft
By Cliff Brunt
Associated Press

Kyler Murray, the ﬁrstround Major League
Baseball draft pick and
Heisman Trophy-winning
Oklahoma quarterback,
declared himself eligible
for the NFL draft on
Monday.
Murray announced his
decision in a tweet , ending his brief and storied
college career. What’s
next for the Murray is not
yet known.
The Oakland Athletics
made the speedy outﬁelder the ninth overall
selection last June and
agreed to $4.66 million
signing bonus. The A’s
agreed to let him continue playing football,
and he made the most of
it by winning the Heisman in his only season
as a starter for the Sooners. He passed for 4,361
yards and 42 touchdowns
and ran for 1,001 yards
and another 12 scores,
posting the second-best
passer efﬁciency rating
in FBS history.
As Murray dominated,
his draft stock improved.
Jim Callis, a senior writer on MLB.com, said the
A’s couldn’t have foreseen Murray would be a
potential ﬁrst-round NFL
draft pick because of his
size. Listed at 5-foot-10
and 195 pounds, Murray
would be a small quarter-

back in the NFL by any
standard.
“I don’t think anybody
was saying he could be
an NFL ﬁrst-round pick,”
Callis said.
Once the NFL emerged
as a potential option
for Murray, the A’s took
action. Representatives
of the A’s and Major
League Baseball met
Sunday with Murray,
according to a person
with direct knowledge of
the session who spoke on
condition of anonymity
because the meeting was
not made public.
The possibility existed
Oakland could offer more
money by putting him on
the 40-man major league
roster.
Even with the A’s
efforts, Murray would
have a shot at a bigger
payday sooner in football
and he wouldn’t have to
go to the minor leagues.
Callis and other
observers say it is very
unlikely Murray will be
able to play both sports
because he’s a quarterback. Bo Jackson and
Deion Sanders pulled it
off, but Jackson was an
outﬁelder and a running
back and Sanders was
an outﬁelder and cornerback.
“This isn’t Bo Jackson showing up and
here, we’ll pitch you
the ball and you outrun
everybody, or Deion

Sanders helicoptering
in and his great speed,
coverage skills,” Callis
said. “When you’re a
quarterback, you have to
put in hours and hours
of study running an
offense. … You can’t play
both sports when you’re
a quarterback. I think if
he wants to play quarterback, which appears
to be his greatest love,
there can’t be any question that he’s 100 percent
football.”
Oklahoma coach
Lincoln Riley said in
November that if anyone
could play both sports,
it’s Murray.
“I don’t want to put
it past him,” Riley said.
” A lot of people would
say he can’t do what he’s
done right now — how
well he performed for
our baseball group here
this spring, and how well
he’s played here for us.
So there’s certainly some
different dynamics with
it. Obviously the fact that
he would want to play
quarterback, if he chooses the football route, is a
little different than Deion
or Bo or some of those
guys. But he athletically
is so gifted and can transition between the two.”
The NFL scouting
combine is in late February and early March and
could intersect with his
spring training — major
league camp starts in

mid-February and minor
league camp begins in
early March. If Murray
wanted to participate
in the combine, the A’s
would need to allow it
and it would need to be
reﬂected on his contract.
Murray’s road to his
NFL draft choice was
a winding one from his
prep days in suburban
Dallas. After a disappointing freshman season
in football at Texas A&amp;M
in 2015, he transferred to
Oklahoma. He sat out a
year because of transfer
rules, and then was the
backup during Baker
Mayﬁeld’s Heisman-winning 2017 season.
Murray then had an
impressive enough baseball season in 2018 to
draw the A’s attention.
Callis said Murray is
somewhat like a faster
version of outﬁelder
Andrew McCutchen.
After he was drafted,
Murray took batting
practice at the OaklandAlameda County Coliseum, greeted by “WELCOME TO OAKLAND”
on the big scoreboard
with his photo. A’s manager Bob Melvin, executive Billy Beane and general manager David Forst
closely followed Oklahoma football this season
as the Sooners reached
the College Football Playoff, losing to Alabama in
a semiﬁnal.
