Looking ahead to spring Ariel to welcome old, new friends Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — To cap off the end of The Ohio Valley Symphony’s season, Peter Stafford Wilson will conduct the rousing April 27 Spring Strings concert. Soloist Tim Berens encouraged his friend, Grammy-nominated American composer Frank Proto, to premiere his newly written double bass concerto in the Ariel Opera House. Proto was in agreement and decided to include Berens on guitar. The first half of the concert will feature Proto’s music and the second half will feature Beren’s arrangements. Now in his 17th season as music director of Ohio’s Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Proto concurrently holds the post as music director of the Westerville Symphony. He also fulfills his seventh season as Principal Conductor of Tulsa Ballet, leading three productions, including the annual holiday performances of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, with choreography by Artistic Director Marcello Angelini. The Springfield Symphony Orchestra’s 2005 Agriculture and the Arts Growing Together brought international attention to the organization, as did the sequel, American Made: Celebrating Our Manufacturing Heritage which premiered in November 2007. The orchestra’s innovative series, Night Lights has enjoyed steadily increasing sales and attendance.

The board of commissioners reportedly adopted the resolution as the document would reduce the cost of the state audits and audits would be able to be completed faster because state auditors could start with the final year end report as opposed to taking the beginning of the year appropriation resolution and then having to research all transfers and supplemental appropriations from the commissioners’ journal. The end of the 2018 fiscal year report said that the county appropriated around $10,222,305, special revenues at $72,737,503 with a grand total of all funds at $82,959,809. All commissioners approved the resolution. The commissioners also approved the hiring of Kim Elliot with the title of assistant clerk of the board.

The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is looking for community leaders to assist with facilitating its Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management Programs. Community leaders/coaches will continue to support the classes in their individual communities after they complete training through the AAA7. An upcoming training is scheduled in West Union (Adams County) starting on February 19th for those individuals who are interested. The AAA7 covers ten counties in southern Ohio, including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Self-management programs for people with chronic conditions are designed to help those with chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis and diabetes, learn to manage their conditions and take control of their health. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) was created at Stanford University and are proven community initiatives that provide health benefits and promote disease prevention. CDSMP and DSMP are six-session workshops that meet once a week where participants learn how to minimize symptoms such as fatigue, pain, stress and depression. The programs teach skills for communication, managing medications, better breathing, and how to design your own selfmanagement program. The programs focus on Courtesy The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is looking for community leaders to assist with facilitating its Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management Programs. the participants’ role in managing their illnesses and building their confidence so that they can be successful in adopting healthier behaviors. Workshops are highly interactive, where workshop leaders, as well as group members, provide support while learning new techniques for dealing with symptoms. To expand this evidence-based program, the AAA7 is looking for individuals to become trained community coaches. These community leaders are volunteers who typically have chronic conditions themselves and conduct workshops using the prepared curriculum. They complete a training program where they are mentored by master trainers. An essential element to these six-session workshops is that they are held in communitybased settings, such as senior centers, faithbased organizations and libraries, with most led by certified and trained community coaches rather than medical professionals. The upcoming Community Coaches Training will take place in West Union on February 19, 21, 25 and 26. The training will take place from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day at the Adams County Senior Center, located at 10835 State Route 41 in West Union. Those who are interested must attend all four days in order to be certified to lead the programs. Attendees will be provided with in-depth information needed to conduct the workshops and receive the materials at no cost. As all workshops are designed to be facilitated by two trainers, it is strongly suggested that you bring someone with you that you prefer to lead the classes with you. A pre-screening is required of all applicants who express an interest in serving as a community coach. For more information about registering for the training, please call Carla Cox at 1-800-582-7277, extension 284.

The inmate is set to die by lethal injection on Feb. 13 at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. Gov. Mike DeWine has the final say, his first death penalty decision as governor. His office is reviewing the decision, a spokesman said. Following the ruling, Henness’ attorneys immediately asked the state Supreme Court to delay the execution. They cited a federal judge’s ruling earlier this week that called the constitutionality of Ohio’s three-drug lethal injection system into question, although the judge didn’t halt the execution. Judge Michael Merz said the evidence is now overwhelming that the first drug, midazolam, a sedative, does not render inmates so deeply unconscious as to prevent harm from the next two drugs. As a result, Henness will experience “severe pain and needless suffering,” the judge said. Under a test created by a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling, however, Henness couldn’t demonstrate that a feasible execution alternative exists, and thus the execution can proceed, Merz said. Prosecutors are expected to oppose the request for a delay. Prosecutors said Henness kidnapped Myers, bound and then shot him at an abandoned water treatment plant, and then stole his credit cards, checks and car. Henness, 55, his wife Tabatha Henness, and friend Ronald Fair drove around in Myers’ car for several days afterward, forging the checks and using the credit cards, according to prosecutors. Henness’ wife and their friend were also implicated in the killing and provided the only evidence of Henness’ guilt, according to court records. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH DUFFY!

This project provides outreach to and enrollment assistance for individuals who may be eligible for the Low-Income Subsidy (“Extra Help”) and/ or Medicare Savings Program, as well as other Medicare pre- mium assistance programs.

Matters I am proud to say I have been Kimberly employed here just a little over Casci two years. I first got the job as the Breast-Feeding Peer Helper for WIC back in December 2016. Since I was a breastfeeding mother and a WIC participant, I qualified for this position. I was allowed to bring my little girl Pyper, who at the time I started, was 9 months old, to work with me and was able to continue to bring her until she was 18 months. In June of 2018, I joined positions and became the part time WIC Peer as well as the WIC Clerk. After Thanksgiving in 2018, we hired a new breastfeeding peer helper, which bumped me up to being the full time WIC Clerk. As the WIC Clerk, my job is to set-up appointments for all newly pregnant women, postpartum women, breastfeeding women, infants and children up to the age of 5. I make sure they have all the requirements needed to qualify for WIC and Certify/Recertify them into our clinic. My duties include making appointment reminder phone calls, setting up or rescheduling missed appointments, running reports, as well as sometimes acting as a liaison between the WIC office and Job and Family Services. This is to help ensure that they are receiving all benefits that are available to them, including Medicaid, food assistance and/or cash assistance. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding and/or have a child aged birth to 5 years of age, please call me to see if you are eligible for WIC benefits and/or to make an appointment.

Right now, 6,569 Ohio workers – including 1,590 at NASA Glenn alone – are either furloughed or working without pay. Either way, they’re missing paychecks because of President Trump’s shutdown. And those numbers don’t even include federal contract workers. Sen. Contractors include everyone from Sherrod aerospace engineers to custodians, Brown security guards, and cafeteria workContributing ers. columnist The people who serve the food and clean the floors in federal buildings are usually paid too little as it is – and now unless Congress acts, those workers won’t receive any back pay at all, because they’re employed by those private contracting companies, not the government. They are out of a job until further notice from the president. Last week, I talked with TSA agents in Cleveland who are working without pay, and with cafeteria workers in Virginia who work for private food service contractors that staff the restaurants at the Smithsonian museums. These workers are paid by the hour, and as of right now, they won’t be able to make up any of the wages they’re losing out on. One of those cafeteria workers last week told me: “I have to pay rent, I have other bills, I have a college student in his second semester and he needs help with his books.” I’m working with my colleague Senator Tina Smith on legislation to try to get these workers back pay, and of course I supported our Senate measure to make sure direct federal employees get the back pay they’ve earned. I also sent a letter to the Office of Management and Budget demanding the administration work with contracting companies to compensate these workers for the wages they’ve lost. Missing one paycheck may not seem like a lot to some folks in Washington, but for most Ohioans, missing a paycheck is a big deal. Working people can’t just send a letter to creditors, saying please excuse me from paying rent or paying my mortgage or paying for my medication this month. And you can’t buy groceries or put gas in the car with an I-owe-you.

McConnaughey Brothers Mom was the ultimate and they farmed together housewife and constantly chased us six kids from with the help of my one thing to another, all while being one of the greatest bakers in the county. Do we as children ever really know our parents? I mean, sure we know them. But do we know what their dreams were? Likely, they had dreams that didn’t involve working three jobs to make ends meet, or not doing what they really wanted because other priorities took center stage. Sacrifice is a lost word on many people these days. Back to my Dad. As we were driving home I asked Mom a question that I have never really thought about. How difficult was it for Dad to have to quit doing what he loved? The answer was what I feared. It crushed him immensely. Then came something that I never expected my Mom to say. She told me that he didn’t want their farm problems to ruin his Dad, because he knew he would want to step in and help the McConnaughey Brothers out. In this process my favorite tractor was sold. While Dad was dealing with his dream disappearing, I was worried about a 2-70 White tractor. So, Dad began other jobs. I am not sure of the time frame of things since I was a young child, but I remember a story being told of one time when my Dad was driving between jobs. He grew very tired and decided he couldn’t make it, so he pulled alongside the road and took a nap. How well do you know your parents? What were their dreams and aspirations? My mom wanted 12 kids. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. As humans we are so quick to judge people without truly knowing the path they trod. I place myself in that boat. One of my favorite actors fits this perfectly. I always enjoyed watching Robin Williams. My favorite movie that he was in was called “Patch Adams.” I highly recommend the film. Such a great story, and fittingly Patch only wanted others in this movie to laugh and enjoy life, and yet Robin suffered from such demons in his own personal life. As I write this story our country is divided in so many ways. And most of them are purely from our lack of compassion and understanding of one another. Do we truly know the people that we are surrounded by, that we call co-workers, that we call friends, or that we even call family? As I age, my quest for knowledge seems to have shifted. I find myself searching for answers that I never even knew were questions. I fail at being observant even in my own home sometimes. We miss out on some really good hints in life because our eyes are focused in the wrong direction. For example, what’s my wife’s favorite color? What’s her favorite food or what did she dream of being? I guess I better get to work. One day, I might have to answer one of these questions on a game show. Get busy paying attention. Chad E.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, pledging emphatically to empower Ameri- ca’s “forgotten men and women.” Protesters registered their rage against the new president in a chaotic confrontation with police just blocks from the inaugural parade. On this date: In 1649, King Charles I of England went on trial, accused of high treason (he was found guilty and executed by month’s end). In 1887, the U.S. Senate approved an agreement to lease Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a naval base. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first chief executive to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 instead of March 4.

The administration’s recommendation assumes a 2 percent limitation on such increases will be authorized by the General Assembly before July 1, 2019. The Board also approved increases of 3.5 percent for housing rates and 2 percent for meal plan rates. Additionally, the Board approved increases to a pair of service fees from which students can choose to opt out. In both cases, the fees collected are passed on to third party service providers. These include the Student Legal Service Fee, which goes from $12 to $15 per student, and elective course charges that will be assessed to student accounts for essential course content and materials. The elective course fees can be modified each term to ensure that the charges assessed to students are equivalent to the cost paid to the third parties. The establishment of these charges must be consistent with fees authorized by the Ohio General Assembly.

It will be vital for extending and connecting the resources of the College within the University’s growing engagement ecosystem, as well as within the region’s arts and culturebased non-profits and government agencies. Department of Social Work The Board approved the creation of a new department within the College of Health Sciences and Professions. The Department of Social Work previously existed within the College of Arts and Sciences, and was merged into the College of Health Sciences and Professions’ Department of Social and Public Health. Due to the dramatic growth in enrollment in social work and programmatic development in the online Master of Social Work program, further enrollment growth is projected. The Department of Social and Public Health unanimously supported the creation of the new department, which was approved by the University Curriculum Council. Change to Student Senate constitutional amendment process The Board, through a resolution, did not object to changes made to the Student Senate constitution made by Student Senate.

President Nellis formed the committee in May to review and evaluate OHIO’s regional campus higher education model, and charged the committee with ensuring a sustainable future for educational access and education across the region. The committee benchmarked the regional higher education system, researched and identified other national models, analyzed internal trend cycles and developed principles and recommendations for achieving an engaged, inclusive academic and resource model for the whole of our University. The report describes a reimagining of OHIO’s campuses as vital locations in a dynamic engagement ecosystem and recommends reimagining the institution as one Ohio University. The next step is to determine a pathway toward implementing these recommendations to unite, both structurally and culturally, all of OHIO’s campuses as one University.

This year marks Meigs County’s 200th birthday and the celebrations and events will begin this week and continue throughout the calendar year. Formed in 1819 from portions of Gallia and Athens counties, Meigs County was named in honor of former governor Return Jonathan Meigs Jr. On Jan. 21, 1819, the Ohio government authorized the creation of Meigs County. It was a few months later in April 1819, that the first county government meeting was held, according to journal entries kept at the commissioner office. In the Meigs County Historical Society newsletter, MCHS President James K. Stanley states, “According to Hardesty’s Historical & Geographical Encyclopedia Illustrated, on January 21, 1819, the Ohio ‘General Assembly passed an act to erect the county of Meigs’ — which was created from part of Athens and Gallia Counties — and The Pioneer History of Meigs County Ohio states that Meigs County was formed on April 1, 1819, the first county officials were elected on April 5, 1819, and newly-elected county commissioners conducted the county’s first official meeting on April 30, 1819.” The County’s first Courthouse, which still stands today, was constructed in 1823 in Chester. The courthouse served as the seat of county government until 1840. By June 1841, the county seat had been moved to Pomeroy, in a building where Trinity Church is now located on Lynn Street. The current courthouse opened in 1850, and is unique in that it has ground floor entrance on all three levels. Several events and celebrations are being planned for 2019 to commemorate the anniversary, the first of which will be held on Monday, Jan. 21, coincidentally, the day the county was founded. Each month the Bicentennial Committee will be unveiling a Bicentennial Historical Marker to recognize a historic place or event. One maker will be placed in each of the county’s 12 townships, the first being in Salisbury Township. At 10 a.m. on Monday, a ceremony will take place in Pomeroy at Water Works Park (the park near the Pomeroy/ Minersville line) to mark the “Kerrs Run Colored School” which was nearby. The school was in operation in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and still stands on Kerrs Run. After the first marker is placed, each subsequent marker will be unveiled on the third Wednesday of each month. Locations will be announced in The Daily Sentinel prior to each month’s event as not all located have been selected at this time. The main Bicentennial Celebration will take place April 26-28 with a series of events. As part of that event, Meigs County Civil War Days will take place at the Meigs County Fairgrounds, hosted by the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. The event will begin on Friday, April 26 with area students coming to the fairgrounds to see a battle, demonstrations and other activities, as well as learn about some of the county’s history. Later on Friday evening will be the annual Chester Shade Historical Association Banquet which will follow the bicentennial theme. On Saturday, a parade is being planned for 10 a.m. in Pomeroy and possibly Middleport. Following the parade, a time capsule, which was buried as part of the 175th anniversary celebration in 1994, will be dug up and opened with a new time capsule to be buried. This event will take place near the Civil War Monument at the Meigs County Courthouse. Throughout the remainder of Saturday, vendors will be set up in town and entertainment will take place. Reenactors will also be taking part in the day’s events, with the details of a possible battle still being worked out. On Saturday evening a Civil War Ball is being planned at Wolfe Mountain Entertainment, with more details to be announced later. The weekend’s events will conclude on Sunday, April 28, with a reenactment to be held at the Courtesy of the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry “As the 7th OVC camps in front of the Chester courthouse, one has to think of 155 years ago another 16 year old soldier looked up at the Chester Courthouse and wondered if or when he would see home again,” reads the photo caption on the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry Facebook page about this image.

Subsequently, he was named artistic director of the orchestra’s Festival Weeks @ The Southern, for which his innovative programming was consistently praised. He is the recipient of a 2010 Columbus Symphony Orchestra Music Education Award, given in recognition of his 20 years of dedication to the orchestra’s educational programming, as well as a 2017 Columbus City Schools’ Outstanding Leadership Award and a Greater Columbus Arts Council Community Arts Partnership Educator Award. Berens’ multi-faceted career gives testament to his lifelong quest to learn, perform and write music. So far, his venture has led him through the worlds of classical guitar, jazz guitar, orchestral guitar, arranging, orchestration, composition, and conducting. During his years as the guitarist for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Berens played guitar, banjo, mandolin and bouzouki on concerts, recordings, television programs, and tours. Beginning in the late 1990’s, Berens began arranging for the CPO, eventually becoming the orchestra’s principal arranger. His arrangements are regularly performed in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center to the Hollywood Bowl. Proto was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. He began piano studies at the age of seven and the double bass at the age of 16 while a student at the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. After graduating he attended the Manhattan School of Music where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. As a student of David Walter Frank performed the first solo double bass recital in the history of the school. As a composer he his self-taught. During the early 1960s he earned his living as a free-lance bassist in New York City, performing with such organizations as the Symphony of the Air, American Symphony, the Robert Shaw Chorale, and — as one of the original members — the Princeton Chamber Orchestra. He also played with various Broadway and Off-Broadway show bands and in many of the jazz clubs that were a mainstay of New York nightlife at the time. In 1966 he joined the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra where, with the help and encouragement of CSO Music Directors Max Rudolf and Thomas Schippers, he began to bloom as a composer. The early opportunities given him by the CSO to compose and arrange for the orchestra resulted in a 30 year stay in which the orchestra premiered over 20 large works and countless smaller pieces and arrangements composed for Young People’s concerts, Pop’s concerts, tours and special occasions. Proto was appointed Composer-in-Residence by Thomas Schippers in 1972 and during his tenure with the orchestra every music director commissioned him to compose works to feature various principal players, visiting guest soloists or the orchestra itself on its subscription concerts, including Max Rudolf Concerto No. 1 for Double Bass and Orchestra; Thomas Schippers Concerto in One Movement for Violin, Double Bass and Orchestra and Concerto for Cello and Orchestra; Michael Gielen Dialogue for Synclavier and Orchestra; Jesus Lopes-Cobos The New Seasons for Tuba, Percussion and Orchestra, Hamabe No Arashi and the Music Drama Ghost In Machine. Writing for the Pops, his Casey at the Bat has been performed over 500 times and has been recorded twice, while his Carmen Fantasy for Trumpet and Orchestra — commissioned and recorded by Doc Severinsen — recently received its 400th performance. His Fantasy on the Saints, An American Overture and Variations on Dixie have become standards in the Orchestral Pops repertoire. Information provided by the Ariel Opera House. By Chris Rizer Special to the Times-Sentinel After quite a long break, longer than I’d preferred if I hadn’t been away from my research, I’m happy to apologize for the delay and get back to writing weekly. For this week’s article, we have to go back to before Mason County, indeed, before the United States existed. In the earliest oral histories of the Native Americans, our region was rich in natural resources, but one was prized more than all the others combined. Sure, our region was rich in flint, but that of Flint Ridge in central Ohio was considered better for trade. Yes, there was plenty of coal, and George Washington himself noted the “the hill which the Indians say is always a fire” in present-day West Columbia. But, in these early years, coal was abundant and exposed seams were still commonplace. There was even oil that leaked out of natural springs, but its value was unknown until the mid-1800s. About 800 feet beneath our feet, trapped there millions of years ago as the ocean retreated from West Virginia and the mountains were built, there exists an extensive underground salt lake. In some places, this lake has been forced toward the surface, and salt springs provide nourishment to animal and man alike. It was these springs, particularly those above Charleston and near Newark, Ohio, that set the course of Native American trails and determined the success or failure of hunting and war expeditions. So special were these springs, the Shawnee of Lower Shawneetown in Kentucky knew the exact location of and frequented the ones in the Kanawha Valley.

Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many of the children served, their CASA/GAL volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives, according to the National CASA website. Currently, there are four CASA volunteers in Meigs County who have completed their training and have become certified. Additional volunteers are needed in Meigs County, as well as Gallia County as they work to grow the program. CASAs are a “voice for children” and make a difference in their lives, explained Kloes. Those who are interested can apply by contacting Kloes at 740-992-4616. Currently the trainings for the program take place in Athens in conjunction with the Athens CASA program. Don’t have the time to volunteer but still want to help — become a champion. Kloes explained that a CASA Champion can be a business, individual or organization who helps to promote the Meigs-Gallia CASA Program to help make it successful. While the volunteers work directly with a child and family, a champion would work with the overall program as it works to grow and serve the area.

By 1846, competition and production had been brought under control, and the 40 salt furnaces along the Kanawha River were producing over 3 million bushels of salt in a year. Almost all of it was being shipped to Cincinnati, the “meatpacking capital of the world.” But, shipping costs to Cincinnati were high, and some began to look for a new location. Draw a straight line between Charleston and Newark, and it more or less crosses over the Bend Area. Banking on the fact that the two famous salt springs were connected, James Blunden, who had previously manufactured salt near the central Ohio salt springs, came to Pomeroy and began drilling in the vicinity of the current library. Unfortunately, his well never reached deep enough. Undeterred, Moses Michael, John Hall, and John McCulloch, all noted persons in our local history, hired two Kanawha Valley well-drillers, known only as Steele and Russell, to drill a well just below Ice Creek in West Columbia and to keep going until they hit salt brine, which they did at 700 feet. It’s unlikely that they knew at the time, but this success marked the beginning of the end for the Kanawha Valley salt industry and the beginning of the most prosperous times known in the history of the Bend Area. We’ll pick up there next week. Information from the West Virginia Encyclopedia, the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, the writings of Mildred Chapman Gibbs, and Anna Lederer’s “19th Century Coal and Salt Drama of the Pomeroy Bend.” As the young United States expanded west, frontiersmen “discovered” these salt springs, and enterprising businessmen realized that these could rid the new country of a continued reliance on salt imported from Britain. The first was Elisha Brooks in 1797, who leased the land from Joseph Ruffner. However, his salt furnace was a small operation that produced salt form the natural springs. In 1808, two of Ruffner’s sons, Joseph Jr. and David, opened the first commercial salt furnace with a well 59 feet deep, through which salt brine was pumped to the surface and evaporated to produce pure salt. They soon expanded their furnace with a well that was 410 feet deep and began shipping salt west on flatboats, and once others realized how extensive the salt deposits were, the industry exploded. In 1808, the Ruffner furnace was the only one along the Kanawha River. By 1810, there were 16 furnaces, but these still weren’t enough to meet the new nation’s demands. As a result, when a new war with Britain broke out and salt imports stopped, the number of salt furnaces above Charleston nearly quadrupled to a staggering 52 furnaces along just 15 miles of the Kanawha River with a production of over 1,000,000 bushels of salt! After the War of 1812, production was scaled back a bit now that they no longer needed to provide for the war effort, and the first trust was formed to control production and prices. Long before John D. Rockefeller even imagined Standard Oil, the Kanawha Trust Company controlled an entire industry and the key to the nation’s food supply.

The application estimates 100 dogs to be adopted times a $15 increase. Area vet­ erinarians increased spay and neuter fees, report­ edly, from $40 to $55 during 2018. The county says it was seeking ways to cover the cost without passing along additional costs to the public. If awarded, the grant should cover the $15 increase. Commissioners approved the measure. The county was also presented with a drawing for the next Green Township Sewer Project, Phase Two.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Keeping pace by setting the pace. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team used a pivotal 24-13 second quarter surge to build a 15-point halftime lead, then simply held on down the stretch Friday night while securing a 68-57 victory over visiting Chesapeake in an Ohio Valley Conference contest in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (8-4, 5-2 OVC) trailed twice in the opening canto and eventually broke a 13-all tie with a Caleb Henry basket at the 1:43 mark, giving the hosts what proved to be a permanent cushion. The Panthers (8-6, 2-5) went scoreless over the final 2:04 of the first period, and the Blue and White also mustered a Cory Call basket with 35 seconds left to take a 17-13 edge through eight minutes of play. GAHS shot 10-of-16 from the field in the second stanza, and Call poured in 14 of Gallia Academy’s two dozen points while building a lead as large as 17 points with six seconds remaining. Travis Grimm hit a jumper just before the halftime buzzer, allowing the Purple and White to trim the lead down to 41-26 at the break. The Blue Devils hit four of their first five shot attempts in the third frame, which resulted in a 10-6 run that gave the hosts their largest lead of the night at 51-32 with 4:52 remaining. CHS closed the canto with seven unanswered points and cut the deficit down to 51-39 entering the finale. The Panthers twice pulled to within nine points over the final 90 seconds of regulation, but two Justin McClelland free throws with 28 seconds remaining ultimately wrapped up the 11-point triumph.

The Southern boys basketball team — which dropped a 66-48 decision at Belpre on Jan. 4 — defeated those same Golden Eagles by a 69-57 in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division action on Friday in Meigs County. Southern (6-6, 5-4 TVC Hocking) — winner of three straight — trailed by a narrow 11-9 deficit eight minutes into play, but unleashed a 23-point storm in the second quarter and headed into halftime with a 32-29 lead. In the third quarter, the Tornadoes outscored Belpre (6-9, 5-4) by a 16-to-11 clip, making the the margin 48-40 with eight minutes to play. The guests tallied 17 points in the finale, but Southern sealed the 69-57 victory with 21 points, including a 10-of-16 performance from the free throw line. For the game, Southern made 19-of-30 (63.3 percent) foul shots, while Belpre was 15-of-23 (65.2 percent) from the stripe. The Tornadoes made 23-of-57 (40.4 percent) field goal attempts, including 4-of-19 (21.1 percent) three-point tries. Meanwhile, BHS was 19-of-51 (37.3 percent) from the field, including 4-of-16 (25 percent) from deep. The Golden Eagles outrebounded SHS by a 34-to-29 clip, including 14-to-10 on the offensive end, but Belpre committed 15 turnovers, five more than the Tornadoes. SHS finished with team totals of 15 assists, 11 steals and two rejections. SHS senior Brayden Cunningham led the Tornadoes with 20 points, featuring a pair of triples, six two-pointers, and a 2-of-2 day at the free throw line.

Lady Falcons upset Eastern, 64-46 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — The Lady Falcons ended over decade worth of frustration by simply making the most of their free throw opportunities. The Eastern and Wahama girls basketball teams have met at least once in a dozen consecutive seasons, and for the first time in that span, the Red and White have claimed victory. WHS — which dropped a 47-37 decision to the Lady Eagles on Dec. 6 in Tuppers Plains — sank 31-of-42 free throws on Thursday night at Gary Clark Court, propelling the Lady Falcons to a 64-46 victory over EHS in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division play.

Tomorrow’s a new day, you have to come with some fire in your eyes and come ready to play,’ and we did. “They’re great kids, I love every one of them just like they’re my daughters.

They work so hard, and I can’t give them a win, I can’t buy them a win, but they deserved a win tonight.” After hitting 10-of-21 (47.6 percent) field goals in the first half, the Marauders finished shooting at a 14-of-48 (29.2 percent) clip for the game.

Rounding out the winning tally were Matt Brown with three points and Trey Schaller with two. Next, Meigs hosts Vinton County on Friday. “We played a very nice ball club,” Hill said. “Guess what? We play another one on Friday. Vinton County beat Athens tonight, so now there’s a tie for first place between Alexander and Athens. Vinton County must not be a slouch if they’re knocking off the top of the league. We’ll work hard and get prepared for it.” The Spartans also defeated Meigs earlier this season, winning 64-53 on Dec. 14 in Albany. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100.

The 135 players forgoing eligibility surpasses the 119 from last year. The NFL released the official list on Friday. There are 103 underclassmen eligible for the April 25-27 draft. Another 32 players have graduated but still have college eligibility. The vast majority of players made their intentions known ahead of Monday’s NFL deadline. Among the most notable were Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray of Oklahoma and Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Alabama has seven players among the 135, the most of any school, including AllAmerica defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, All-America safety Deionte Thompson and All-America offensive tackle Jonah Williams. Ohio State and Oklahoma each have six players. Murray has already signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics after being selected in the first round of the MLB draft in June. Murray has yet to break his deal with the A’s, but he could abandon it to play in the NFL. Murray, who is listed at 5-foot-10 and 195, had a spectacular season with the Sooners and is a possible firstround pick by NFL teams. The 103 underclassmen who have met the NFL’s three-year eligibility rule and renounced their remaining eligibility to enter the draft are three short of last year’s record 106. That number has been trending up for years, including a spike in 2014, when 98 underclassmen were granted special eligibility by the league. In 2013, 73 players fell into that category. Since 2014, at least 95 underclassmen entered the draft without completing their degrees in every season but 2015, when the number was 74. “It is not a good situation,” said former Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt, who now works for the NFL Network. Buckeyes at the break. Meigs was forced to play the second half without two starters, as Madison Fields and Becca Pullins left the game with injuries before the break. The hosts went on a 12-to-6 run in the third quarter and headed into the finale with a 41-26 edge. The Lady Marauders lastditch effort consisted of 20 points, 11 of which came from senior Kassidy Betzing. However, Nelsonville-York sealed the 57-46 win with 16 points in the finale, going 12-of-18 from the free throw line. For the game, NYHS was 18-of-28 (64.3 percent) from the charity stripe, where Meigs was 6-of-12 (50 percent). Betzing led all-scorers with 23 points, including nine from three-point range. Mallory Hawley scored nine points in the setback, Marissa Noble added six, while Fields, Alyssa Smith, Taylor Swartz and Kylee Blanks ended with two apiece. Mary-Kate McCulloch led the hosts with 21 points, while Mackenzie Hurd poured in 14. Next was Joscelyn Heller with eight points, followed by Haley Hurd with seven, Grace Sinnott with four and Ashliegh Cantrell with three. After a trip to Fairland on Saturday, the Maroon and Gold will be back in front of their home fans on Monday against Eastern. From page 3B 14-13 tally at the end of the stanza. Nelsonville-York added eight points to its advantage in the second canto, outscoring the Lady Marauders by a 15-to-7 clip to make the margin 29-20 Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, January 20, 2019 5B Maryland tops Ohio State 75-61 for 7th straight win COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Maryland’s depth and shooting touch were too much for Ohio State.

Quotable “Aaron Wiggins is a starter who plays sixth man on our team.” — Turgeon Chiefs host mighty Patriots at Arrowhead villain role. “I don’t think about it too much, what people might say or think,” said Brady, whose team is a rare playoff underdog Sunday. “I know we’re playing against a very good football team. They’re the first seed for a reason. They’ve had a great season and we’re going to have to go into a really tough environment and play our best football, and it’s a great opportunity for us.” On the flip side are the Chiefs, a team that dominated the AFC throughout the 1990s but reached only one conference title game. They were the league’s worst franchise six years ago, when Andy Reid came aboard , but have become a perennial playoff team that was always missing that certain something. They found it when they drafted Mahomes nearly two years ago. The quarterback shattered just about every franchise passing record in his first season as a starter, and his downhome style has made him a fan favorite. Kids dressed up like him for Halloween, his curly Mohawk has become the trend at local barbershops, and the awshucks way Mahomes has embraced his stunning success has only made him more endearing. “I think he’s a great player on a great team that’s very wellcoached,” Belichick said. “They have a great scheme and a great system. He’s got a ton of weapons, so he’ll be tough to handle, as will their entire offense, as will their entire team. We’ll need our best game.” As the Patriots (12-5) try to advance to their third consecutive Super Bowl, something only two other franchises have accomplished, and the Chiefs (13-4) try to make it for the first time since winning the title in 1970, here are some things to know: Road woe-rriors New England hasn’t lost at home since early last season, but it’s been a struggle away from Gillette Stadium. The Patriots were 3-5 on the road this season, their worst mark since 2009. AP file New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, left, and Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay have ties that go beyond the same name. During the past two seasons Payton and McVay have each led their teams to the playoffs with one of the best offenses in football. Game a clash of like-minded coaches NEW ORLEANS (AP) — One way or another, the NFC Championship between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints will be won by a coach named Sean — with an Irish surname — who designs and calls plays for one of the most innovative and productive offenses in the NFL. The ties between the Saints’ Sean Payton and the Rams’ Sean McVay go well beyond a shared name. “We both cut our teeth in this league under Jon Gruden,” Payton said. “That (Rams) staff — there’s a ton of guys that we’re friendly with and that we know on that staff. Guys who we have worked with, and Sean and I have a real good relationship. He is an engaging guy, a fun guy to be around.” Gruden, the current Oakland Raiders coach, was the offensive coordinator with the Eagles in 1997 when Payton was hired as quarterbacks. In 2008, Gruden was the head coach in Tampa Bay when he hired McVay as a receivers coach. During the past two seasons Payton and McVay have each led their teams to the playoffs with one of the best offenses in football, thanks in part to elite quarterbacks — Drew Brees with New Orleans (14-3) and Jared Goff of Los Angeles (14-3). Both coaches have acknowledged they watch each other’s offensive film nearly every week — not just because of the possibility of playing against one another; they’re looking for good ideas. And then there are some connections on the roster and coaching staff. One of the Rams’ top receivers, Brandin Cooks, was Payton’s first-round draft choice in 2014. Los Angeles’ running game coordinator is Aaron Kromer, a former running backs and offensive line coach under Payton, including on the 2009 Super Bowlwinning squad. Players on both teams praise their coach’s intangible feel for how a game is developing. Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead extoled Payton’s “fearlessness” in his play calling and said the coach has “so much believe and confidence in us and the system that we can go out and make a play no matter the down and distance.” Goff mentioned how McVay sends in plays “with confidence and having a good feel for everything.” “There’s certain moments in games where being a good play caller — you can’t teach it — but there’s certain moments where you have to go for that dagger or you have to pull back a little bit,” Goff continued. “There’s just different ebbs and flows in games. I think he’s got a great feel for that.” The main thing that separates the two is age and experience. The 55-year-old Payton got his first head coaching job 13 years ago, is coaching in his third NFC title game and trying win his second Super Bowl. In his second season as a head coach, McVay, 32, is pre- paring for his first NFC title game. The same goes for their QBs: the recordsetting Brees turned 40 on Tuesday and Goff is 24. “He’s been doing it at really high level for a lot longer than I have,” McVay said of Payton. “He’s an outstanding coach — clearly referenced by the way that his team is playing this year, how they’ve played over the course of his career when he’s been leading the Saints. So, I don’t think we’re in that category yet. We’ve got to do things for a lot longer to be able to be mentioned in that same breath.” Getting to a Super Bowl by winning Sunday would be a good start for McVay and the Rams, whose first loss this season came when they last visited the Superdome on Nov. 4 and fell 45-35. Rams reinforcements Brees carved up the Rams’ defense for 346 yards passing and four TDs in the teams’ first meeting, but the Rams have reason to believe they can do better this time. Star cornerback Aqib Talib was injured and missed the game in November, but he is back in uniform. Los Angeles typically doesn’t line up cornerbacks against specific receivers, but defensive coordinator Wade Phillips could consider it to get Talib against Michael Thomas, who had 211 yards receiving largely against Marcus Peters in the last meeting. Phillips also has two additional months of experience using edge rusher Dante Fowler, who had just arrived in a trade with Jacksonville for the last meeting. Dome advantage Since Payton and Brees joined forces in 2006, the Saints have gone 6-0 in playoff games in the Superdome, including two wins the season they won the Super Bowl. Payton suggested that the environment in the dome — while not an overwhelming factor — is nonetheless a factor that can influence an opposing offense in particular. www.iLinkTV.stream 1-800-541-5792 Over 500 Channels -- OUR GIFT FOR YOU -$30.

(AP) — It seems football fans everywhere are suddenly on the Kansas City Chiefs’ bandwagon, enthralled by their record-setting young quarterback and exciting playmakers and hopeful their amiable old coach can finally win the big one. Then again, maybe they’re just fans of anybody facing New England. The Patriots have dominated the AFC for nearly two decades, and the coach-quarterback combination of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady will be playing in an eighth consecutive conference title game Sunday night when New England visits the Chiefs at frigid, hostile Arrowhead Stadium. But whereas Brady& Co. once instilled awe in their opponents, the Chiefs view their showdown as an opportunity for Patrick Mahomes to take the baton as the league’s best quarterback and for Kansas City, seeking its first Super Bowl appearance in 49 years , to surpass the Patriots as the NFL’s “it” team. “It’ll be huge,” Mahomes said. “When I got here, the goal was to win the AFC championship and get to the Super Bowl, and win that. To do that early in my career, it would be a huge thing.” There aren’t two more dichotomous teams than the Patriots and Chiefs. New England has won five Super Bowls during the BelichickBrady era, setting all kinds of records along the way. The cruel efficiency with which they’ve sliced up the AFC has made them the bane of fans everywhere but New England and given them the kind of unbeatable aura that accompanied the New York Yankees teams of Derek Jeter and the Chicago Bulls teams of Michael Jordan. It’s not just petty jealousy, though. Many fans have been turned off by Deflategate, Spygate and other instances over the years that have saddled the Patriots with a rather unsavory reputation. Brady has mostly shrugged it off. So has Belichick, who almost seems to embrace the �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 6B Sunday, January 20, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Glen Wood, auto racing pioneer and patriarch, dies at 93 By Jenna Fryer Wood in 2011 was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in a contentious decision in which Glen Wood, the courtmany voters felt Glen ly and innovative patriand Leonard should be arch of the famed Wood elected together as one Brothers Racing team entity.

Their team was the kingpin of stock car racing and I felt honored to be driving for them.” Wood himself drove in the inaugural 1959 Daytona 500 and won the race five times as team owner. He attended every Speedweeks in Daytona since 1947 until his deteriorating health and fear of widespread flu kept him home for the first time last season. Glen Wood always rode by car to Daytona Beach, driving a 1940 two-door Ford on his first trip in 1947. Wood took every ride through eight decades in a Ford. “The Wood Brothers race team, by any measure, has been one of the most successful racing operations in the history of NASCAR. Most importantly for our company, Glen and his family have remained loyal to Ford throughout their 69-year history,” said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of Ford Motor Co.’s board of directors. “Glen was an innovator who, along with his family, changed the sport itself. But, more importantly, he was a true Southern gentleman who was quick with a smile and a handshake and he was a man of his word.” NASCAR Hall of Fame executive director Winston Kelley credited the team with dropping the time teams spent on pit road by as much as 50 percent. Kelley noted that Wood Brothers Racing was recently recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest active NASCAR team, 69 years and counting. Wood was nicknamed “The Woodchopper” because he first worked in a sawmill and, legend has it, he initially adorned “The Woodchopper” on cars he entered at Bowman Gray Stadium in WinstonSalem, North Carolina. Wood was first hooked on racing when he made a trip to Daytona Beach, Florida, to watch cars on the beach-road course in 1947. His driving days ended in 1964, but he and brother Leonard carried on the team. At the Indianapolis 500 in 1965, four Wood brothers — Glen, Leonard, Delano and Ray Lee — served as the pit crew for Jim Clark, the most glamorous Formula One driver of the day and the winner that day. “They pioneered the quick pit stops and were part of the reason Jimmy Clark won the Indianapolis 500 because they pitted him,” said Foyt, a four-time Indy 500 winner. Bayne’s victory in the 2011 Daytona 500 was the team’s first win in more than a decade. Roger Penske and Ford strengthened their alignment with the Wood Brothers in 2016 and Ryan Blaney won his first Cup race the next season.

His stomach felt tight and filled with butterflies. He grabbed his phone and fired off texts to family and friends. He talked to his brother and sister. Golden State coach Steve Kerr and the rest of the Warriors reassured Cousins it wasn’t just about Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s about the rest of his career. Making his Warriors debut after being sidelined for nearly a year, the big man called Boogie scored 14 points before fouling out of a 112-94 victory. “It’s been a long journey,” Cousins said. “This was probably one of the best days of my life being back on the floor playing the game that I love.” After missing his first shot, Cousins announced his pres- ence with a one-handed slam off Kevin Durant’s bounce pass for the Warriors’ first basket. “It was like poetry,” teammate Stephen Curry said. Cousins was called for two fouls in the first three minutes and sat down. “I’m just glad to know I can still dunk,” he said. “That felt good.” Cousins joined the lineup at a time when Golden State has won seven in a row and an NBA-leading six straight on the road. Friday was the start of a five-game trip that will take the team back East, giving players time to bond. “It’s good for him to come in at a time we’re playing well and things are calm,” Kerr said. “It allows for an easier re-entry.” As if the Warriors weren’t potent enough with Curry and Durant, Cousins’ return made them the first team in 42 years to start five All-Stars from the previous season. “We’re not going to drink our own Kool-Aid in terms of understanding that just because he’s back, it’s a totally different team,” Curry said. “We still have things we’ve got to work on. We still have details we have to focus on. These next four games on the road are going to be tough, so it’ll test us right out of the gate with DeMarcus in the lineup.” Against the Clippers, Cousins shot 5 of 11 from the field. He was 3 of 4 on 3-pointers to go with six rebounds, three assists, one steal and a block in 15 minutes before fouling out. He became the first Warriors center to hit at least three 3-pointers in a game since Anthony Tolliver on March 17, 2010, against New Orleans. “This is almost like training COLLEGE BASKETBALL The AP Top 25 Poll The top 25 teams in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Jan. 13, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote and last week’s ranking: Record Pts Prv 1.

Cousins played his first game since Jan. 26, 2018, when he ruptured his left Achilles tendon with New Orleans. He missed the rest of the season, including nine playoff games for the Pelicans. The Warriors signed him in July. “We haven’t even really practiced together, so we’ve got a lot of growing to do,” Cousins said. “I still don’t feel like my rhythm is where I want it.” After getting his fifth foul 30 seconds into the fourth, Cousins hit consecutive 3s, throwing up three fingers as he ran down court. “He does so many things well for them,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “The post game, which he didn’t have because of rhythm, but he made a couple of 3s and he just knows how to play.” When he got his sixth foul NBA NHL TRANSACTIONS National Basketball Association All Times EST EASTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct GB Toronto 34 13 .723 — Milwaukee 32 12 .727 ½ Indiana 29 15 .659 3½ Philadelphia 30 16 .652 3½ Boston 27 18 .600 6 Brooklyn 24 23 .511 10 Miami 21 22 .488 11 Charlotte 21 23 .477 11½ Detroit 20 24 .455 12½ Orlando 19 26 .422 14 Washington 19 26 .422 14 Atlanta 14 30 .318 18½ New York 10 34 .227 22½ Chicago 10 35 .222 23 Cleveland 9 36 .200 24 WESTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct GB Golden State 31 14 .689 — Denver 30 14 .682 ½ Oklahoma City 26 18 .591 4½ Portland 27 19 .587 4½ Houston 25 19 .568 5½ San Antonio 26 20 .565 5½ L.A.

Durant said: “Hopefully that’s the last time we give him a standing ovation when he fouls out.” Cousins credited his teammates for making his return “as smooth and easy as possible.” “They all love him,” Kerr said. “He’s a really good teammate.
