Breaking news at mydailytribune.com Issue 9, Volume 49 Bottled with Pride by disabled Americans Sunday, March 8, 2015 s $2 City proposes $6.9 million budget increase By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The City of Gallipolis plans to operate on a $17.99 million budget in 2015. The proposed budget — $17,986,927.17 — passed its first reading Tuesday with little fanfare, despite being $6.9 million more than the city’s operating budget in 2014. One of the main reasons for the increase, according to interim City Manager Gene Greene and City Auditor/Clerk Annette Landers, is a water/sewer capital project that’s been budgeted for about $8.4 million. “It looks better than what we thought,” Greene said before giving the floor over to Landers, who proceeded to explain some of the budget in a little more detail. “Our biggest capital project will be the OPWC (Ohio Public Works Commission) water sewer project,” she said. “It’s actually a sewer improvements project. That’s like $8 million that we’ll have in capital projects It’s is also known as the wastewater treatment plant project, which will upgrade the 26-year-old facility to meet future discharge permit regulations and provide capacity for additional sewage from other areas. The general fund, she said, which includes spending for all departments — including police and fire departments, among others — is $3.3 million, while special revenues (M&R streets, cemeteries, court funds and other grant monies) total about $1.03 million. “Last year, it was $1,767,106.14, so it’s down about $700,000,” she said. “We made some major cuts on what’s being spent this year.” In debt service — what the city will be paying in principal and interest for various loans — the commission has budgeted $368,356. The figure is down from last year’s $417,000 in debt service. “That’s down from last year because we paid off some loans,” Lander explained. In enterprise funds, Landers said the water department is budgeted for about $1.64 million, while water pollution control is budgeted for about $1.65 million of the total $4.15 million in that category. Also in that category is the city swimming pool, which the commission said will be operating on a “pretty much truncated budget” in 2015.

And although the show usually goes on, it won’t until next weekend for the Black Knight Revue. The annual revue was slated to take place this weekend, but was postponed because of Thursday’s snowstorm, which dumped about a foot of snow in many places throughout the Ohio Valley region. This 45th edition of the popular show returns at 7 p.m., Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14 at Wedge Auditorium. This year’s theme is “Rhythm of the Knight” and is under the direction of Band Director Ben Loudin. Loudin said due to being unable to reschedule musicians, the traditional Sunday matinee performance would not take place this year. There are 67 children and just as many volunteers working to put on the show that integrates live music and dance numbers. Loudin said the weather has to be good enough for those children, volunteers and an audience to attend the revue. “We’re at the point where we could perform it now, we’re ready to go, but we’ve got to have an audience and have all our kids be able to get there,” he said. This is Loudin’s first official revue as the PPHS Black Knight band director, though he’s helped organize countless revues through the years and has been a staple in the music scene at PPJ/SHS. Advance tickets are still available at the following businesses: Peoples Bank North Branch and Main Street Branch, City National Bank, Farmers Bank and Ohio Valley Bank. Advance tickets are $5 each. Tickets at the door are $5 for students and $7 for adults. Courtesy photo Performing the number “Empire State of Mind,” are Tyjae Jones and Brandi Stroupe and Katlyn Young.

Some knotty problem is being discussed, and someone in the audience will raise his or her hand and ask, “Okay, so what can I do about it?” I love that question. Not because I’ve ever answered it to my satisfaction, but because it bespeaks such a constructive outlook. Democracy is no spectator sport and citizens are not passive consumers. I’m always invigorated by running into people who understand this. But that doesn’t make answering the question any easier. The usual advice that politicians give is to vote, work for a candidate, let your elected officials know what you think, join an organization of likeminded citizens, and participate in community life. This is good counsel — but only as far as it goes. With a little more time now to answer the question, I’d add a few points. First, it’s important that citizens appreciate how hard it is to solve problems in a representative democracy. Every issue — even a stop sign at a corner — is more complex than Lee H. Hamilton it appears. The best way to learn Contributing this is to become an expert on a single topic. You can’t study every Columnist issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to get food delivered to shut-ins in your community. Understanding and appreciating all aspects of the issue is the best way to see how and where you can make progress. It also makes you more patient with others — including elected officials — who are trying to resolve other thorny challenges. It’s also vital to learn that solving problems means working together with all kinds of people. It requires bringing different points of view together, developing connections to key players in your community, talking face-to-face with others who may not agree with you, and communicating your ideas effectively — including to the media. This is the surest way I know to understand differences, and to learn that these differences can exist without personal animosity. That, in turn, is a key step toward recognizing the common ground on which you can build agreement. Many of the people I know who answered the call of citizenship did so to resolve a specific issue: getting the railroad signal at a crossing to work; improving food labeling so diabetics could know how much sugar packaged food contains; improving a watershed to help a community manage its water supply. Sometimes, people want to address a situation they don’t like — what they consider to be over-spending, or a politician whose priorities they disagree with. Sometimes they just want to contribute to the direction and success of their community. There is a key lesson that comes from trying to solve a particular problem: it tends to make you less ideological and more pragmatic. It forces you to examine the options in front of you and the resources at hand to help you pursue them. You have to judge whether a given option can gather sufficient support in the community to go forward, and realize that you can’t solve everything; sometimes you have to put particular problems aside and come back to them another day, when circumstances have shifted. There are plenty of people who find all this frustrating and give up. Many others devote their lives to it, whether as community participants, engaged activists, or public servants. Politics is not a game for everyone, and there are many other ways to be involved in community life. Regardless of the avenue they choose, it’s the people who step forward who refresh this country and make it stronger. Our Constitution’s preamble begins, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union …” At heart, that’s what getting involved means: shouldering the challenges, sharing responsibilities and opportunities that democracy thrusts upon us as we pursue a more perfect union. That’s what I want to say to the people who ask, “What can I do about it?” The journey is hard and complicated, but it’s immensely satisfying. Few rewards can match your satisfaction when your fellow citizens thank you for a job well done. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University.

I so appreciate everything done on my behalf, but I cannot thank everyone personally as I do not have any way of knowing everyone who deserves my deepest gratitude. If you were able to enjoy a spaghetti dinner at the actual benefit last month or carry-out to your home; purchased a Team Ann T-shirt; sent a donation to Washington Elementary School for my battle; are part of the incredible bakers from my Washington staff, friends and church family at Grace United Methodist Church who shared their special desserts to sell at the benefit, I thank you.

If you are an amazing member of the Washington Elementary staff who planned the benefit, collected and tallied donations, sold T-shirts and tickets, collected everything needed for the spaghetti dinner, decorated, set-up, cleaned-up for the benefit, prepared the delicious dinner, provided desserts for the dinner, hosted and served everyone with their characteristic kindness and hospitality, I thank you more than words can express. Most of all, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayer, which mean so much to me. I have had the original brain surgery, two Courtesy photo different kinds of radiation (radio surgery and gamma knife), and started back on chemotherapy. A lot of cancer fighting is going on thanks to your amazing generosity. I am both appreciative and overwhelmed by the incredible response for my battle from family, friends, and the community.

The updated numbers come as the state’s jobs agency reported that Ohio’s unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in January, matching a revised rate for December.

Ohio gained 72,700 jobs in 2014, according Department of Job and Family Services. That’s up from the originally reported total of 45,800 jobs. The figures are revised annually using more detailed employment data. Bruce Madson, the department’s assistant director for employment services, said the state was gaining jobs “more rapidly and more consistently” than previously reported.

College in the opening round of the NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship Tournament on Thursday, March 12, at 6:15 p.m. EDT, at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. Head coach David Smalley’s squad, which earned its spot in the tourney by virtue of having the best regular season conference record in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, drew a No. 6 seed in the second of four eight-team pods. The Broncos, a member of the Great Plains Athletic Conference, received an atlarge bid to the tournament and earned a No. 3 seed.

The Eastern girls basketball team had its 10-game postseason win streak come to a grinding halt Friday night during a 50-35 setback to top-seeded South Webster in a Division IV Southeast District championship game at Jackson High School in Jackson County. The sixth-seeded Lady Eagles (19-7) — who graduated all five starters from last year’s D-4 title team — weren’t expected by most to win their 10th consecutive sectional crown this winter, but the Green and Gold defied the doubters and advanced to the program’s sixth straight district final — and 10th overall. The clock, however, finally struck midnight on Eastern’s magical 2014-15 campaign, as the Lady Jeeps (22-1) led the final 23:05 of regulation in advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time since the 2009-10 season. SWHS, coincidentally, defeated the Lady Eagles 62-58 in a district final at the Convocation Center that postseason — which was the last time that EHS failed to reach the regional tournament.

Horford jawed with Timofey Mozgov after one skirmish, before his teammates jumped in to pull the Hawks center away. Carroll sent James tumbling to the court with a hard foul midway through the fourth. The Hawks, who have been plagued by slow starts, started out in this one as though they were going to blow the Cavaliers out of the building. They made 17 of 24 shots in the opening quarter. But the Cavaliers controlled play through much of the second and third periods, finally grabbing their first lead, 66-65, on Mozgov’s two free throws. There was plenty of excitement off the court, as well. The Hawks unveiled a statue of Wilkins outside Philips Arena, wore throwback jerseys from the Dominique era, and honored No. 21 at halftime with a painting and a framed jersey autographed by all the current Hawks players. “Even though I’m not from Atlanta, I’m from Atlanta,” Wilkins said at center court, holding back tears. “We do play basketball in this city.

As usual when James is in town, there were plenty of celebrities courtside, including rapper Ludacris and actor Chris Tucker.

Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga gets 3-year deal CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals agreed to a three-year deal with Rey Maualuga on Thursday, keeping one of their top linebackers from leaving as a free agent. Cincinnati’s defense slipped from third in the NFL in 2013 to 22nd last season, when Maualuga and linebacker Vontaze Burfict missed significant time because of injuries. After Maualuga returned after missing four games with a pulled hamstring, the run defense improved significantly. Maualuga, a second-round pick in 2009, could have become an unrestricted free agent next week. “Rey is a physical force on the field and a great teammate in our locker room,” said coach Marvin Lewis, who named Maualuga a team captain in 2012. “He’s a hard-working, dedicated player who continues to get better. “As we have put together playoff teams the last four years, we’ve said more than once that a huge key is keeping productive players who know our system, and this is another big step in that plan.” The Bengals have reached the playoffs each of the last four seasons — a franchise first — but lost in the first round each time. They haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the sixthlongest streak of playoff futility in NFL history. Burfict missed most of last season with concussions and torn knee cartilage that required surgery, leaving his status for the start of next season unclear. The Bengals will try to add depth at the linebacker spot in the offseason. Maualuga is known for stopping the run. Lewis challenged him to become more of a team leader during the 2012 season, and the linebacker responded so well that he was designated a team captain. The Bengals gave up an average of 143 yards rushing in the first nine games, with Burfict and Maualuga injured for much of it. With Maualuga back, the defense allowed an average of only 82 yards rushing over the last seven games, helping Cincinnati’s playoff push. mydailytribune.com or mydailysentinel.com �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, March 8, 2015 3B Lynch returning to Seahawks with new contract 2016 and 2017 seasons should Lynch continue his career into his 30s. He is coming off arguably the best season of his career. He scored a career-high 17 total touchdowns, including 13 rushing. He rushed for 1,306 yards in the regular season and added another 318 yards in three postseason games. Lynch had 102 yards rushing and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. At the NFL combine last month in Indianapolis, Seattle coach Pete Carroll acknowledged having made a significant offer to Lynch for 2015. Lynch was scheduled to make $7 million for the 2015 season. “We have been in earnest a great deal of time now nego- Jets agree to acquire Marshall from the Bears NEW YORK (AP) — Brandon Marshall is on the move, heading from the Chicago Bears to the New York Jets. A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that the Jets agreed to acquire the star wide receiver on Friday, pending a physical exam. The trade, the first by new Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, is for an unspecified draft pick, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the deal. The trade cannot become official until the NFL’s new league year begins next Tuesday. It was a busy and headline-making day for Maccagnan, who earlier Friday re-signed linebacker Davis Harris to a three-year contract. Marshall, who turns 31 on March 23, has played the last three seasons with the Bears. He dealt with injuries and had 61 catches last season, his lowest total since his rookie year with Denver in 2006, for 721 yards and eight touchdowns. The Bears will save $7.7 million by dealing Marshall, and also create nearly $4 million in salary cap space. He is signed through 2017, but the final two years aren’t guaranteed — meaning the Jets could reevaluate the move after the 2015 season. Marshall will pair with Eric Decker and Jeremy Kerley on the Jets’ receiving corps, but the move also leaves the future of Percy Harvin in doubt. Harvin is due $10.5 million next season, but Marshall’s arrival likely makes him expendable. If the Jets cut Harvin by March 19, they would owe Seattle a sixth-round draft pick after acquiring him from Seattle last October. If Harvin remains past that date, the Jets would give up a fourth-rounder. Marshall has 773 career receptions for 1,289 yards and 65 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons. He is familiar with new Jets coach Todd Bowles, who was an assistant with the Miami Dolphins when Marshall played there in 2010 and 2011. Bowles was the interim coach for three games at the end of the 2011 season. Jets receivers coach Karl Dorrell was also Marshall’s position coach in Miami in 2010. Marshall has often been outspoken and sometimes controversial, but has also been one of the league’s best at his position. He has caught 100 or more passes in five seasons, and had seven straight years of 1,000 yards or more receiving — a streak that was stopped last year when he had a nagging ankle injury and then missed the final three games after sustaining two broken ribs and a collapsed lung against Dallas on Dec. 4. When healthy, Marshall is a true No. 1 receiver who can take over games, something the Jets have lacked for years. Jerricho Cotchery is the last Jets player with 1,000 yards receiving or more in 2007. Decker, who was New York’s biggest free-agent signing last year, led the team with 74 catches for 962 yards and five TDs. But, he’ll surely benefit from the addition of Marshall, who will take away double teams from Decker and give the Jets another vertical presence in the offense. The big question for the Jets is who will be throwing them the ball. Geno Smith is heading into his third year, but has mostly struggled in his first two NFL seasons and New York could be in the market for a quarterback in the draft — particularly Oregon’s Marcus Mariota or Florida State’s Jameis Winston. The Jets could also try to add depth at the quarterback position by bringing in a veteran to compete with Smith during training camp. Michael Vick was Smith’s backup last season, but is not expected to be re-signed. Marshall has said he suffers from borderline personality disorder, and has been an active spokesman for mental health during the last few years. He has been fined by the NFL in the past for wearing green cleats to support his mental illness foundation. Marshall is also known as a fiery competitor, and has been willing to speak his mind — parlaying that into a spot on Showtime’s “Inside The NFL” last season. He would fly from Chicago to New York every Tuesday during the season to tape the show. He has also had his shares of off-field issues, having been arrested twice for domestic violence incidents. Charges in both cases were later dropped. Marshall was a fourth-round draft pick by Denver in 2006 out of Central Florida, and he quickly established himself as one of the most physical — he’s 6-foot-4, 230 pounds — and elusive receivers in the league. He set the NFL record with 21 catches in a game at Indianapolis in 2009. tiating to get Marshawn back with us in every way that we can,” Carroll said at the combine. “It’s been an ongoing, long process and we have had big offers out and we continue to work with that. We are excited about the future.” The biggest lingering question was whether Lynch would return at age 29 or if he was done playing football. Lynch’s returned was complicated by the decision on Seattle’s final offensive play of the Super Bowl against New England — a pass instead of asking Lynch to try and score from the 1 — and if there was any lingering effect. Russell Wilson’s pass was intercepted by Malcolm Butler and Seattle was denied a second straight title, leaving itself open to second-guessing for why Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell chose not to give the ball to Lynch. During an interview with a television station in Turkey last week — where Lynch was taking part in an American Football Without Borders camp — Lynch said he was expecting to get the ball on Seattle’s final offensive play. He added he didn’t have a problem with the play call. Aside from the decision in the Super Bowl, it became progressively more difficult through last season to imagine the Seahawks without Lynch in their backfield. Lynch rushed for more than 100 yards five times and was the most consistent piece of the Seahawks’ offense that has won two straight NFC championships. He has rushed for at least 1,200 yards in each of his four full seasons with the Seahawks, and had at least 11 touchdowns rushing. In 75 regular-season games with Seattle, Lynch has rushed for 5,930 yards and 54 touchdowns. With Lynch secured for the 2015 season, running back no longer becomes a major need for Seattle. It will eventually need to find an heir to Lynch, but that position would no longer appear to be a priority. Kipnis eager to put 2014 behind him By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Jason Kipnis remembers his first thought after dropping a 45-pound weight on his left ring finger, peeling back the skin so far that bone was exposed. “I was like, ‘That’s going to leave a mark,’” Kipnis said.

The Lady Wildcats — winners of the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division — defeated North Adams by a 50-39 count in the second district final Friday night. Things were mostly even in three quarters of play, but a 20-7 second quarter surge ultimately proved to be the difference-maker in the final outcome. EHS mustered only five shot attempts and committed eight of its 18 turnovers during that eight-minute spell, and host South Webster turned a 12-all first quarter tie into a sizable 32-19 halftime edge. The Lady Eagles were ultimately never closer than eight points from there on out and twice trailed by as many as 17 points in the finale. The guests closed the last 4:25 of regulation on a 5-3 spurt to wrap up the 15-point outcome. Afterwards, seventhyear EHS coach John Burdette spoke about how this team’s growth through the regular season helped them reach this point in the tournament. He also noted that with only two non-starting seniors on this squad, the future may someday resemble the teams of recent past. “I don’t figure that a lot of people thought we’d be back to a district final this year, but we were. These girls have worked hard and did the things in practice that need to be done to be successful, so we were not surprised to be here,” Burdette said. “Honestly, we are just really young and not mature enough to handle the situations that come up on the court just yet. “Then again, there aren’t that many freshmen SUNDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, MARCH 8 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 (3:00) PGA Golf Cadillac The Voice "The Blind Auditions, Part 2" The 'blind Dateline NBC The story of the first night and following day Championship (L) auditions' continue in front of the panel of judges. of the Cedar Fire in California.

Hopefully when they get to be juniors and seniors, it’s bound to pay off.” The Lady Eagles also missed 20 wins in a season for just third time in Burdette’s coaching tenure, something that girls are already chomping at the bit to change next winter. This setback has already added a little fuel to that fire. “In the locker room after the game, the girls were already talking about when we could get started again,” Burdette said. “I told them it would be at least 30 days because that’s how long we have to wait. They were not happy to hear 30 days, but that is their attitude right now. “By the end of the year, we were playing well together as a team. We learned to trust in one another a little more and that should help going into next year. We just need to get a little more experience on us and then we should be a pretty fun ball team to watch.” Eastern’s youth showed its ugly face in the first half as the guests missed their first six shots and committed two turnovers before finally getting on the scoreboard. Laura Pullins hit a free throw with 4:26 left in the opening canto to close the early deficit down to 6-1. That free throw also sparked a 10-1 surge over the next 3:16, which gave the Green and Gold their first and final lead of the night at 10-9 with 1:09 remaining. Cheyenne Weakley countered with a trifecta with 10 seconds left for a 12-10 South Webster lead, but Pullins hit a basket just before the buzzer to tie things at 12-all after eight minutes of play. Kimber Johnson gave the Lady Jeeps a permanent lead with a basket at the 7:05 mark, which started a 6-0 run to start the second canto. EHS also had five turnovers and one missed shot attempt before finally scoring on a pair of Pullins free throws, making it an 18-14 contest with 4:20 left in the half. Eastern made its first basket at the 3:01 mark of the second for a 23-18 contest, but the hosts answered with nine consecutive points to extend their lead out to 32-18 with 1:27 remaining. Pullins hit the second of two charity tosses with 10.6 seconds left to end the first half trailing 32-19. Besides the 12-8 deficit in turnovers in the first 16 minutes of play, the Lady Eagles were also outrebounded by a sizable 16-6 overall margin — including 7-0 on the offensive glass. SWHS was 12-of-26 total from the field, while Eastern netted just 6-of-16 shot attempts before the intermission. Madison Williams capped a 7-2 run out of the third quarter gates with a trifecta at the 4:25 mark, allowing EHS to pull to within 34-26. The Lady Jeeps retaliated with a 9-2 charge over the final 4:15 to secure a 43-28 lead headed into the finale. The Lady Eagles trailed 45-28 and again at 47-30 with 4:53 left in regula- tion, but the guests made a quick 4-0 run to get back to within 13 points with 3:17 left. Eastern was never closer and the Lady Jeeps ended the final 2:04 on a 3-1 spurt to wrap up the five-possession decision. South Webster finished the game with a 26-20 advantage on the boards, which included a 9-3 edge on the offensive glass. The hosts also committed 14 turnovers in the triumph, compared to the 18 miscues by Eastern. The Lady Eagles connected on 13-of-37 field goal attempts for 35 percent, including a 2-of-8 effort from three-point range for 25 percent. The guests were also 7-of-12 at the free throw line for 58 percent. Pullins led EHS with 13 points, followed by Hannah Barringer with eight points and a team-best five rebounds. Williams and Elizabeth Collins were next with six points apiece, while Hannah Bailey rounded out the scoring with two markers. SWHS sank 18-of-39 shot attempts for 46 percent, which included a 2-of-14 effort from behind the arc for 14 percent. The hosts were also 12-of21 at the charity stripe for 57 percent. Kacie Hall paced the Lady Jeeps with a gamehigh 16 points, followed by Ellie Johnson with 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Weakley was next with 10 points, while Johnson added six markers and six caroms. Taylor Shonkwiler and Hayley Gibbs respectively rounded out the winning tally with four and two points. It was the final basketball game for seniors Breanna Bailey and Lindsay Hupp, both of whom were part of last year’s state championship squad. They may not have served as the primary leaders on the floor during games, but Burdette noted that nothing that this team accomplished this year would have happened without that duo setting the example. “Not one time did either of them every say to me ‘I’m a senior’ and I never once had to get on them about picking up the effort in practice,” Burdette said. “Those two are examples of the perfect teammate right there. That’s leadership without words and the kind of characteristics that any coach would want out of any of his or her players. “They respected what was best for the team and gave their all to make things work best for the group. That’s why the coaches and underclassmen think so highly of both of them. They will be missed and we all wish nothing but the best for them.” Eastern has previously appeared in 2006 and 2010 district finals and also advanced on to regionals after winning district crowns in 1995, 1999, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. EHS also won 20 or more games under Burdette in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014. The Lady Eagles finished second in the TVC Hocking this season with a 13-3 league mark.

(AP) — Despite a cast on his left arm, the perennially optimistic Hunter Pence arrived upbeat in the San Francisco clubhouse on Friday. The Giants outfielder is expected to miss six to eight weeks after a pitch by Chicago Cubs prospect Corey Black fractured his left forearm on Thursday. “I heal pretty fast, generally, usually quicker than I’m supposed to,” Pence said. Black, a 23-year-old who spent last season in Double-A reached out to Pence on Twitter and apologized, saying he hopes the star heals quickly. Pence has played in 383 consecutive games — the longest active streak in the majors — since the Giants got him in a trade from Philadelphia in July 2012. The string is all but over with the World Series champions set to open April 6 at Arizona. Minus the 31-year-old Pence, the Giants could start the season with an outfield of newcomer Nori Aoki, Angel Pagan and Gregor Blanco. Juan Perez, who hit .170 in 61 games last season, started in Pence’s right field spot Friday against Texas. Pence hit .277 with 20 home runs and 74 RBIs last year. He also scored 106 runs, added 29 doubles and a career-high 10 triples, and stole 13 bases. Pence then batted .444 in the World Series as the Giants beat Kansas City in seven games. The Giants, who have won three championships in the last five years, were already heading into this season missing the big bat of former World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval, who signed with Boston. Pence said he had a good night’s rest despite the cast on his left hand that has his elbow immobilized at a 45-degree angle. “I did some research on how I’m supposed to sleep,” Pence said. “I just propped it up on a pillow and slept well.” Pence has averaged playing over 152 games a season in his eight-year career with the Houston Astros, Phillies and Giants. “I’ll do the best I can and focus as hard as I can to be ready,” he said. “I want to be here for the guys and help out with whatever is needed.” True to his nature, Pence, who possesses an unorthodox style of hitting and throwing, called the bad break “a great positive.” In fact, he never uttered a discouraging word about it. Pence has sustained a broken left wrist and a broken pinkie while playing baseball, and understands injuries are just part of the game. “These things happen,” he said. “You can’t ever be upset, especially when there was no intent. The saddest part is I can’t comb my hair anymore.” Pence signed a five-year, $90 million contract with the Giants late in the 2013 season. He’s popular for his production and enthusiastic personality. Black tweeted that he was “lost for words” and added “hit- Darron Cummings | AP San Francisco Giants' Hunter Pence is expected to miss six to eight weeks after a pitch from Corey Black of the Chicago Cubs broke his left forearm during an exhibition game Thursday. The injury breaks the outfielder’s string of 383 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the majors. ting someone is never a good feeling. Hurting someone is even worse.” Pence wrote back saying, basically, no worries. “I have no hard feelings toward him,” Pence said. “It’s something that happens. We all know what we’re getting into. I could hit a pitcher with a line drive. I don’t mean to, and I feel bad, but it’s part of the game. This is respect among competitors. This is nothing.” Pence thanked fans and teammates for their support, saying: “The amount of texts and support I received. It was touching.” “The fan support is special. To me it’s not that big of a deal. I’m not dying. It’s just a month. It couldn’t happen at a better time. I have a lot of time to get ready for regular season games.” One of the more vocal leaders in San Francisco, Pence plans to do everything in his power to be ready as soon as possible. The Giants told him there was nothing physical he could do Friday and Pence took that a step further. “I’m always doing something,” he said. “Doing nothing is something. I’m healing and that’s something.” Giants catcher Buster Posey said the team will miss Pence on the field, but that he’ll still be around providing energy and enthusiasm. “He’s a guy who can contribute off the field,” Posey said. Colts parting ways with longtime standout, Wayne INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis gave Reggie Wayne the answer he didn’t want to hear. They don’t want him back. Calling it a sad day, team owner Jim Irsay announced Friday that the Colts would part ways with one of the greatest receivers in franchise history. Wayne will become an unrestricted free agent next week. “Reggie is one of the greatest men to ever wear the horseshoe, and we have been blessed to watch him play for the past 14 years,” Irsay said in a statement. “When he first took the field with us in 2001, we knew this day would eventually arrive. That reality is one of the things that makes pro football such a tough business.” The decision should not have come as a major surprise to Colts’ fans. Despite having one of the most storied careers in franchise history, the 36-year-old Wayne was slowing down. He missed the last nine games in 2013 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was hobbled during the second half of last season with a torn left triceps. The result: His record streak of 82 consecutive games with three or more catches ended in December. In Indy’s three playoff games, Wayne had one catch for 12 yards. Until getting hurt, the New Orleans native had produced incredible numbers. He’s second in franchise history in receptions (1,070), yards receiving (14,345), touchdown catches (80) and 100-yard games (43). Peyton Manning and Wayne formed the NFL’s second-most prolific quarterbackreceiver duos in completions (953) and yards (10,602), trailing only Manning and former teammate Harrison. He played in more games (211) and won more game (143) than any player in Colts’ history, had four 100-catch seasons, eight 1,000-yard seasons, six Pro Bowl selections, 12 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl ring. If Wayne doesn’t play again, he will retire at No. 7 in NFL history in receptions and No. 8 all-time in yards receiving. He is leaving Indy in the same heartbreaking manner as Manning, Harrison and Dwight Freeney — without a retirement ceremony. The loss of Wayne will be felt. “He was that consistent leader,” said Gary Brackett, Indy’s defensive captain who was let go in the 2012 salary purge that also included Manning. “It’s very rare in sports that your leader is also a Hall-of-Famer. Reggie was always a guy you could rely on.

In 2012, when Irsay and general manager Ryan Grigson cleaned house to rebuild, Wayne turned down the chance to make more money and play for a “contender” so he could finish his career in Indy and help Chuck Pagano, an old friend, make the most of his first head coaching job. Wayne also let his adopted hometown share some of his most emotional moments. They mourned with him when Wayne’s older brother, Rashad, was killed in a traffic accident in September 2006. They cheered when he caught a TD pass in the Super Bowl win against Chicago, delivering one of the most iconic moments of the Indy era when he rocked his arms and pumped his fist in the rain. They watched in awe as Wayne caught 13 passes for 212 yards and stretched the football across the goal line in his orange gloves to beat the Packers just days after the team learned Pagano had been diagnosed with leukemia. The game ball was sent right to Pagano’s hospital room. And when Pagano returned to the team complex 2 1/2 months later, they understood why Wayne stood in the back of the room and choked up. “He is the epitome of what a coach looks for in a player. Hard work, dedication, and sacrifice are just a few ways I would describe him,” Pagano said. “He encompasses everything that is right about this game, on and off the field.” Wayne also had fun. His annual training camp arrivals became one of the season’s most anticipated events. He showed up in a dump truck, on a bus, via military convoy, even in an IndyCar. He wore a hard hat, fatigues, a fire suit and Edgerrin James’ Arizona jersey. �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, March 8, 2015 s Page 1C March comes in ‘like a lion’ By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — An English proverb, first sited by Thomas Fuller in his 1732 compendium, describing typical March weather states: “The month of March usually starts with cold, unpleasant weather, but ends mild and pleasant.” Most of us are more familiar with this proverb as the often repeated phrase, “In like a lion and out like a lamb.” Weather sayings are as colorful as our imagination, and according to the Farmers Almanac, “In like a lion” is not generally a true weather predictor. But March did come in roaring. Fluctuating temperatures and heavy rains brought a rapid melting to the remnants of snow and ice left from February storms, causing water levels in rivers and creeks to rise to threatening levels.

AT RIGHT, tracks in the snow are barerly visible and lead straight to the bandstand in Gallipolis City Park. The bright sunshine coupled with a thick blanket of snow provided for postcard-quality photographic opportunities Friday morning. Rain quickly transitioned to snow, and the Ohio River Valley was hit with a winter blast, forcing the closing of schools, government offices, private business, and the issuing of a Level 3 snow emergency. The additional snow will almost certainly make good on the promise of flooding as temperatures rise this weekend. With all this in mind, what hope do we have that March will “go out like a lamb?” Winter weary residents would like the proverb to be accurate, with mild weather as the month comes to a close. Otherwise, we will just have to hope our colorful imaginations will carry us to spring. Contact Lorna Hart at 740-9922155.

During that time, we read concerning His labors, “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” (Matthew 4:23) Jesus was preaching the gospel of the Kingdom. The message of Jesus is summed up in this declaration, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” This was the same message preached by His cousin John (Matthew 4:17; cf. Matthew 3:2). It was the message God wanted preached. Jesus, in prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of Rome, in Matthew 24, made it clear that He fully expected His apostles to preach the same message before that tremendous event. He said, “And this gospel world through the instruof the kingdom will be ment of the spoken word: preached in all the world preaching. as a witness to all the Most often, the mesnations, and then the end sage Christians are to will come.” (Matthew preach is simply termed 24:14) Jerusalem was “the Gospel,” but it is destroyed in AD 70, but Jonathan also designated as “the before the end of that McAnulty Gospel of Christ,” or even city came, the gospel “the Gospel of God.” Pastor was indeed taken to all What does it mean that it the known world.

He told His apostles, “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28) And in the same fashion, Paul would also tell the Colossians that they were members of the Kingdom, saying of the redemptive work of God, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.” (Colossians 1:13) The Old Testament prophesied the ascension of Christ to the throne of David, saying in relation to His death, burial and resurrection: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” (Psalms 2:6; cf. Psalms 2:1-9; Acts 13:22-24) Jesus Christ, when He rose from the dead, ‘Security’ is literally our middle name By Marcus Geiger all crime, we work aggressively with our Office of the Inspector General to investigate and prosGALLIPOLIS — On March ecute people who commit fraud. 6, Americans recognized Middle Acting Commissioner Carolyn Name Pride Day.

It was for that very reason, to be King, that Jesus declared He came to this earth. (cf. John 18:37) The Good News of Christ is the Good News concerning His death for our sins. But it is also the Good News of His resurrection and the establishment of His Kingdom. It is as King that Jesus rules over the church, His Body. To fully understand the plan of Christ, we must devote ourselves not only to understanding how to be saved, but the nature of His Kingdom, the Kingdom that we should greatly desire to be a part of.

Gwen Craft, Holzer clinical research coordinator, said patients with Type 1 diabetes are currently being enrolled for a study comparing the effectiveness of different insulin. In the near future, patients will begin enrolling in a study investigating cerebral vascular accidents, also known as strokes. Several studies involving Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiac arrhythmias were recently completed. Clinical research studies are usually sponsored by major pharmaceutical companies who need actual patient experiences to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of medicines to gain approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Such studies are supervised by independent review boards whose purpose is to guarantee the studies are conducted in a safe and ethical manner. Patients participate in research for a variety of reasons. Dr. Rodney Stout, director of Clinical Research, Holzer Health System, notes that some patients enroll so that they may receive care and medicines that they might otherwise not receive, while others simply feel they are making a difference that will benefit others in the future. For more information on Holzer research studies available, call Craft at 740-4418015 or Susan West at (740) 446-5065. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
