Warmer weather will soon allow hot mix to be used, and according to Welker the village has no problem with continuing road repairs. “The issue was long term,” he said. “Repairing pot holes was a temporary and ongoing solution until we could get the road repaved.” Welker, in communication with ODOT District 10 representative Debbie Lambert, was advised the project will go to bid in late June. A month later the project can begin, which puts the start date at the end of July or the beginning of August. No information is available at this time on a completion date.

The sentence was issued by visiting Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove in Athens County Court of Common Pleas. Kelly was sentenced to three years for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, two years for perjury, one year for theft charges related to Kelly’s taking proceeds from scrap sales of county property, and one year for theft charges related to Kelly’s taking of donations intended for his campaign account. All sentences were ordered to be served consecutively for seven total years in prison. Kelly was also ordered to pay restitution of $2,936.60 in relation to scrap sales. Judge Cosgrove did not order restitution of campaign funds due to the fact Kelly’s campaign committee is no longer in existence. Kelly was convicted February 12th on 18 felony counts. He had been suspended from office pending the results of his criminal trial. Courtesy photo Holzer participated in a recent health fair at the Meigs Wellness Center in Pomeroy.

Everyone — Republicans and Democrats, Gov. John Kasich, strong advocates for public schools and supporters of school choice — agrees that Ohio’s charter schools need fixing. The Ohio system, which receives roughly $1 billion in public funding and serves more than 120,000 students, has become a national embarrassment. “Be very glad that you have Nevada, so you are not the worst,” Stanford University researcher Margaret Raymond recently said at a national conference on school choice in Colorado, according to a report at Cleveland.com. The myriad problems with the system have been well-documented, but most jarring are too many poor outcomes in a weakly regulated system fueled by the power of political money. A study at Stanford found students learn less in Ohio’s charter schools than in traditional districts by a margin of nearly three fewer weeks of equivalent instruction in reading and more than a month in math. House Bill 2, now moving through the Ohio Legislature, is an opportunity to get things right. While the current version of the bill improves upon the original, it still falls short of improving accountability for the spending of public dollars. Transparency equals accountability, and the problem is particularly acute with the common practice of sponsoring organizations paying third parties to operate the schools. Advocates of greater secrecy are simply wrong when they say taxpayers should have no meaningful ability to track what happens to the money after it gets to those third-party operators. To hear them talk, it’s no different than the school district hiring Bob’s Lawn Service to maintain the football field. You wouldn’t be able to see Bob’s financial records, so why should you be able to see the school operator’s books? Well, it’s not Bob’s Lawn Service. State Auditor Dave Yost has it right when he says that charter operators aren’t cutting the lawns, they are taking over the essential functions of providing a quality education – a core responsibility of government under the Ohio Constitution. Extra scrutiny should come with that territory. We would require that checkbook-level detail be available under Ohio’s open records law to track the expenditure of public funds by charter schools, just as it is for public schools. Anything short of that will not provide the necessary accountability for what is happening to almost $1 billion in tax dollars and, more importantly, to our children. The Ohio House of Representatives should amend House Bill 2 to ensure that happens. Sunday Times-Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

But they’ve been troublesome for years, and legislating is about getting things done in a difficult environment. Congress is designed to be an institution where the dilemmas of the moment can be overcome by skillful legislators. We need a Congress that can address its problems before a crisis comes up. What will it take to do so? Part of the answer lies in dedication to Congress’s job. Its members need to work at legislating every day — not just the three days in the middle of the week. Its leaders need to make clear their determination to move legislation through in an orderly fashion. The so-called “Hastert Rule” — that the Speaker of the House will not allow a vote on a bill unless he has a majority of his own party behind it — needs to be jettisoned for good, not just in extreme circumstances. Allowing a majority of the House and the Senate to work its will, whatever the partisan alignment, would do wonders. And perhaps most important, the tactic of tying two unrelated issues together in order to force an opponent’s hand needs to be rejected. The parade of makeor-break issues that Congress faces this year presents myriad opportunities for legislative mischief. If all we see before us is one government-shutdown threat after another, the remaining faith Americans hold in our chief lawmaking body could disappear altogether. And deservedly so.

Ihle said that while Bartrum and Smith testified Ihle was in Meigs at Innovation Readiness Training meeting in which negotiations with the sheriff and lawyers from Columbus were taking place over deputy/ union negotiations. He added that the Army and Navy are coming to Meigs Local High School and the fairgrounds June 1 and will be offering free services to citizens, including veterinarian, dental and optometry work, among others. Ihle also discussed plans for a Medflight building to house the local helicopter located on Pomeroy Pike. A change in the Meigs County sales tax, as approved by the commissioners, helped create an excess of funds in the county as well. Beginning in 2011, the county received a penny and-a-half from every purchase in Meigs, causing excess amounts of funds every year since, Ihle said. In 2011 the county received approximately $1.37 million from sales taxes, while in 2012 the county received approximately $1,.5 million from sales taxes. In 2013, the county received approximately $2.31 million and last year received approximately $2.5 million, with a carryover into 2015 of $963,000. Ihle said that the money collected from this tax will help create a new Meigs County Animal Shelter. The funds, he said, will also help clean up the former hospital building off Mulberry Heights, which will cost about $250,000 and includes removing potentially hazardous material. Finally, Ihle ended his discussion by honoring Abraham Lincoln, for whom the dinner was held. “One thing about Abe Lincoln — he was noted for so many quotes,” Ihle said. “I bet you quote things he said that you didn’t even know he said. One is: ‘When you’ve got an elephant by the hind leg and he’s trying to get it away, it’s best to let him run.’” From Page 1A “We have to be extremely vigilant,” he said. Borges expressed excitement over the Republican National Convention returning to Ohio for the first time in 79 years. The convention will take place in Cleveland on July 18-21, 2016. He ended his speech by thanking all of those in attendance. “I promise I will do everything to make Ohio red again, and I want to be there in January 2017 with a Republican (elected),” he said. “That will be a special thing. It will make all those nights of hard work — nights on the road and hours that we spend at the call centers, and knocking on doors, and bugging our friends and making sure that we get out the vote, and staying organized — worth it. Not because we will win in an election, but we’ll move the country back in the right direction, and I think this is a country worth saving.” Borges has served as the state’s GOP chairman since 2013. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He worked with the office of Dick Cheney, then Vice-President, from 2001-07. He was a lead representative for Sen. John McCain and Sarah Palin’s presidential bid in 2008. In 2010, he ran the primary congressional bid for Bob Gibbs, and consulted the National Republican Congressional Committee in 1992, 2000 and 2010. He has also served as executive director for the Kasich-Taylor New Day Inaugural Committee and managed David Yost’s successful campaign for Ohio auditor of state. Borges also served as chief of staff and campaign manager for state Treasurer Joseph Deters. Before being selected as chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, he previously served as its executive director. Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle, discussed what is currently going on in Meigs County. “We’ve been busy, and we’ve had so many things come across our desk daily,” he said. “I’m proud that we’re there working and have gotten things accomplished.” Ihle talked about his recent visit north to see shale play, or drilling for shale, in southeast Ohio. Ihle said that shale play has not yet reached Meigs County, but what’s happening north of Meigs is fascinating. On March 11, Ihle said that the other two Meigs County commissioners, Mike Bartrum and Randy Smith, traveled to Columbus and testified before the Budget Commission on asset management, which is something the commissioners got involved in with the Water and Sewer District in Rutland, also mentioning the Rural Community Jr. Women’s Club Scholarship deadline is March 31 Reach Lindsay Kriz at 9922155 EXT. 2555 or on Twitter @ JournalistKriz. “I feel safe from bullies and it taught me an important lesson.” “Don’t change anything because it is fine the way it is.” “I didn’t realize just how good I had it at my school until I lost it.” Reach Michael Johnson at 740446-2342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @OhioEditorMike.

The theme for this year’s awareness month is “Can Do, Like You” The ceremony consisted of many individuals with a developmental disability from around the state who shared their success stories about working, living and participating in their communities. The many supporters of this event believe that the theme emphasizes a person’s abilities rather than their disability. Bob, Marvin and many others with a disability who are receiving services from the Gallia County Board of Developmental Disabilities are very capable of working in our community. So this month, it is our job as advocates to help others understand that people with disabilities, “Can Do, Like You”.

Five of the six OVP boys basketball programs had at least one player selected between the three divisions of teams, with the Division I and Division II squads being combined due to a lack of schools that size in the area. Separate teams for Division III and Division IV were also chosen. River Valley led the way with three selections, followed by South Gallia, Southern and Gallia Academy with two apiece. Eastern finished with one selection, but Meigs did not earn a selection from the District 13 coaches. Meigs County, however, will be appearing on behalf of District 13 for a second straight year at the OHSBCA North-South game, as Southern senior Tristen Wolfe was chosen as the Division III-IV representative. Wolfe was a threetime AP All-Southeast District first team selection and a 1,000-point scorer over his career with the Tornadoes. Wolfe — a 6-2 southpaw guard — was named the Division IV player of the year by the coaches after averaging 21.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals and two blocks per contest. Teammate and fellow senior Bradley Eastern senior Christian Speelman (40) looks to drive around Southern senior Tristen Wolfe (2) during the Tornadoes victory over EHS in Racine. McCoy was also a special mention selection for SHS. South Gallia was represented in D-4 by senior Brayden Greer on the first team and junior Landon Hutchinson on the second team, while Eastern senior Christian Speelman was also a second team choice in Division IV. Trimble’s Howie Caldwell was chosen as the District 13 coach of the year in D-4. River Valley’s top honor in Division III went to junior Tyler Twyman, who garnered second team accolades. Senior Jon Qualls and Justin Rusk were both special mention recipients in D-3.

(AP) — Jamie McMurray thought he had a shot at winning the pole two weeks ago in Las Vegas until a bobble on his lap ended his chance. He looked at the scoring tower and, for a moment, teammate Kyle Larson was in first. “I thought to myself, ‘Well, at least one of us got it,’” McMurray said Wednesday. “I was going to go down there and tell him ‘Great job. Awesome.’ And even though he didn’t get the pole in the end, you can’t hide that feeling. You can’t hide when you are happy that someone else has done well.” It’s that very cooperation and teamwork that has Chip Ganassi Racing off to a solid start through the first month of the NASCAR season. McMurray finished second last week at Phoenix, where he had an opportunity on a final restart to snatch the win away from Kevin Harvick. It would have been a steal after the way Harvick dominated, so McMurray was satisfied with second. It followed an 11thplace finish the week before in Las Vegas, and a strong run that was ended early at Atlanta when he was caught in a crash. Larson, meanwhile, has put together back-to-back top-10 finishes, and both drivers have advanced into the final round of qualifying in the last three races. In their second season working together, McMurray believes the absence of a professional rivalry has helped the Chip Ganassi Racing team grow into consistent weekly contenders. He said he views Team Penske, where Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano have a strong belief in teamwork, as the model for a successful two-car organization. “Kyle and I get along exceptionally well. There’s no jealousy. Egos and jealousy, to me, are what destroys teammates,” McMurray said. “When you don’t want to see the other guy do well, and are bitter when they do, it’s really hard to share everything. But Kyle and I, both of our personalities, we’re pretty laid-back, and even though we both want to beat each other, we are genuinely happy when we do well. “I just look at Penske, how Brad wanted Joey and felt he and Joey together could build something; that’s where we needed to be as a twocar team.” The Ganassi organization, up and down and occasionally able to win a race, has struggled for years to build consistency and get its drivers into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. In a system now in which a regular-season victory secures a Chase berth, McMurray and Larson slowly began inching toward that benchmark last season. Then McMurray got a jolt when crew chief Keith Rodden returned to Hendrick Motorsports after just one season. Rodden was replaced by Matt McCall, the lead engineer for Ryan Newman last season, and he and McMurray have bonded quickly. “I am in my second year with a rookie crew chief, and that’s hard,” McMurray said. “But I love his work ethic, and I sit back and watch his process, how he handles people, and he just has super good people skills. He’s not hard to work for, he wants things done a certain way, and he’s not scared to yell or address the issue immediately.” And immediately, McMurray noticed a difference in his cars. He’s been among the fastest on the track when the teams unload each week, and with momentum and confidence building, McMurray believes he and Larson are very close to a win. How good does McMurray feel about where the Ganassi organization is right now? He likened his weekends to the kind that reigning champion Harvick has been having for more than a year. “I’ve never been able to unload and be one of the fastest three cars on the track,” McMurray said. “But now we are, and it’s stuff like what the (No.) 4 car did last year. Every week, they were among the fastest. It’s a feeling like no other, because you feel like you belong and you have this opportunity to go out and win a bunch of races. It’s the only reason you are here.” INDYCAR-AERO KITS: Defending IndyCar Series champion Will Power was fastest at the two-day test this week at Barber Motorsports Park, where the full field tested the new aerodynamic bodywork. Power, the pole winner at Barber last year, turned a lap during testing this week that was a full second faster than his polewinning speed in 2014. In all, 21 drivers bettered Power’s pole lap time over the four sessions. “The aero kits produce so much more downforce and there’s a lot of grip, so the cars are faster everywhere,” Power said. “I would expect to break lap records just about everywhere.” The high-downforce aero kits, which can be tailored to a driver’s personal style and individual racetrack, are brand new for 2015. In addition to designs that allow Chevrolet and Honda to differentiate from each other, the aero kits are expected to improve the on-track product throughout the season. “This car is going to get better and better through the first half of the year as we understand more and more,” said James Hinchcliffe. “To see the times we’ve been doing, given the warm track conditions (at Barber), it gives you a lot of confidence heading into St. Pete to see records fall.” The season opens March 29 at St. Petersburg. Teams will test again next week — some at Sebring International Raceway, some at NOLA Motorsports Park, and Andretti Autosport will go to Texas Motor Speedway — before heading to St. Pete.

Dayton won 78-66. Malott leads Dayton past Iowa State LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Dayton head coach Jim Jabir said he had been “begging” Ally Malott to take over a game, and he got his wish on Friday. The 6-foot-4 senior pulled down 12 rebounds to go along with her 18 ponts, and led seventh-seeded Dayton (26-6) past 10th-seed Iowa State, 78-66, in the first round of the women’s NCAA tournament. Nicole Kidd Blaskowski’s 3-pointer cut Iowa State’s 17-point deficit to seven with 2:32 remaining. But that was as close as the Cyclones would come before succumbing to Dayton. Iowa State also had nine of its 12 turnovers in the second half. “We were extremely careless,” said Iowa State head coach Bill Fennelly. “We only had three at halftime. They made some good defensive plays but we made some ridiculous decisions.” First in the Atlantic-10 conference this season in field goal percentage, Dayton continued that trend into the post-season; it shot 48 percent, including 16-of-28 in the first half. Malott made seven of her 13 shots. “We made sure we were doing all the little things well, offensively and defensively,” Jabir said. “I thought we were very efficient with our offense. Ally and Hoover came up really big.” The Flyers rode a balanced scoring approach to a 17-point lead in the second half. Four players scored in double figures, led by Hoover with 20, Malott’s 18, Saicha GrantAllen with 13 and Kelley Austria with 11. “I think we ran our stuff pretty well today,” Jabir said. “The kids have focused in lately about doing what we do, and that’s been our mindset - do what we do, do your job. When we execute, we’re pretty good. When we don’t execute, it gets muddy.” Iowa State also had four players in double figures, led by Nikki Moody with 17, but the Cyclones went cold in the second half and made 31 percent of their shots, compared to their 45-percent clip in the first half. After Iowa State pulled within seven, Dayton closed the game on an 8-3 run, highlighted by an Amber Deane jumper and four Hoover free throws that put away any lingering possibility of a Cyclones comeback. Although the Flyers built a sizable lead by the second half, there were three ties and four lead changes in the first half. Trading blows after Dayton hit three of its first four shots, the teams ended up in a 20-20 tie before Malott and Deane hit back-to-back threes and gave the Flyers a six-point cushion with 9:06 until halftime. The former highlighted the inside-out nature of Malott’s game on Friday, as she scored from seemingly everywhere on the court. “I knew coming in they were undersized,” Malott said. “We really wanted to put the ball inside and I had a couple of early layups that helped me find my flow. My teammates did a good job of finding me. It was a good game.” Iowa State pulled even with 4:35 remaining in the first half after an Emily Durr basket made it 31-31. But Dayton, which shot 57 percent from the field in the first half, went on an 11-3 run to close the half. Five different Flyers scored during that stretch, which concluded with a Hoover three-pointer with 49 seconds on the clock. Dayton headed into the break with a 42-34 advantage. Dayton freshman Jenna Burdette — a 2014 Eastern graduate— tallied four points, one steal and two fouls in 17 minutes of work as a starter during her first NCAA tournament victory. Dayton moves on to the second round Sunday to play No. 2 Kentucky at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Thursday is something of a national holiday for American sports fans, when office productivity plummets. The NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship, also known as March Madness or the Big Dance, begins in earnest. Thursday and Friday feature a hoops extravaganza: 16 games each day, from noon to midnight. The single-elimination tournament means every game is a must-win for all 68 schools, producing tense, dramatic finishes. Upsets are eagerly anticipated as elites like Kentucky fend off underdogs trying to spark an improbable run and become the next tournament darling. Fanatics, novices and even President Barack Obama are trying to predict the winners of every game by completing an estimated 70 million tournament brackets, according to the American Gaming Association — that’s more brackets completed than votes Obama received in the last presidential election. Here’s a brief explanation of how a basketball tournament transcended sports to become a national craze: DAVID VERSUS GOLIATH College basketball has long filled the gap in the American sports calendar when baseball and football are dormant. In 1939, Oregon beat Ohio State in the first NCAA Tournament, which featured only eight teams. The NCAA field kept growing as TV coverage spurred interest. The potential for a David to slay a Goliath set the stage for what remains the mostwatched basketball game ever: the 1979 final pitting little-known Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, against powerhouse Michigan State, led by Magic Johnson. The classic game transformed Bird and Johnson into rival superstars and catapulted college basketball into the American consciousness. THE BIG DANCE GETS BIGGER The fledgling ESPN cable network began broadcasting the tournament’s oft-ignored early rounds in 1980. The term “March Madness” was popularized through the 1980s as unlikely champions such as North Carolina State and Villanova captivated Americans. TV ratings skyrocketed, and so did revenue for the NCAA. In 2013, according to the latest figures available from Kantar Media, TV advertising revenue was a staggering $1.15 billion. Every game is now on TV and streaming online. The champion must win six games as the field winnows, from the Sweet 16 to the Elite Eight to the Final Four. The semifinals and championship will be played April 4-6 in a football stadium in Indianapolis. AN AMERICAN OBSESSION: BRACKETS! UPSETS! Fans competing in online bracket pools — often for money, though that’s technically illegal — had up until the moment the first game tipped shortly after noon Eastern (1600 GMT) Thursday. Some use advanced stats, others pick based on mascots — could a Mountaineer (West Virginia) tame a Bull (Buffalo)? Brackets will be busted by unpredictable upsets, like tiny Mercer’s dethroning of Duke last year. One of the most famous upsets was achieved in 2001 by Hampton. Who does Kentucky, this tournament’s overwhelming favorite, play in its first game? Hampton. That game just happens to be scheduled for primetime on Friday night. Kentucky is favored to win by 32 points, according to oddsmakers. But in March, anything is possible. Refs cheer new high-def replay system for NCAA tournaments tem’s developer. “No. 1, you’ve got to get the call right, but No. 2, we need to be hopefully as The NCAA is going all in on efficient as possible. … Delaying a high-def video reviews during game can change momentum and March Madness. impact the game.” For the men’s and women’s basNo longer will there be ketball tournaments that begin extended delays in the tournathis week, the NCAA for the first ment because an official has to go time will use a replay system to a monitor with only a network that captures live high-definition feed, put on a headset and try to video from multiple angles for explain to a producer in the TV immediate review. That means truck outside exactly what he or officials will be able to see much she wants to see — a familiar more quickly some of the same scene in many smaller conferreplays everyone is seeing on TV ences lucky enough to have a TV — and just maybe some of those feed to rely on. delays to get a call right won’t be That process usually led to the so excruciatingly long. officials seeing the back of their “The last thing you want at the heads on the monitor while the end of the game is a four-minute video was being cued, and camdelay that takes the energy out of eras showed them waiting to see the building and cools the playthe replay the TV audience had ers down and all that,” said Kim already seen multiple times and Jackson, director of basketball was already tweeting or posting operations for DVSport, the sysVines about. Associated Press With the DVSport system already used by several leagues during the season, game officials generally have instant access to the main TV feed and three other angles. They have a pad with a shuttle control that allows them to watch from different angles at different speeds. They can zoom in on individual frames and, if necessary, can then request views additional cameras might have captured. “The most important thing is that we can get all the angles and make sure we see what people see at home on TV. … We utilize replay to make sure we got it right,” veteran official Joe DeRosa said. “It’s really a valuable tool.” DeRosa, one of only two officials who has worked both the NCAA Final Four and the NBA Finals, did Big 12 Tournament games last week. His regularseason schedule included games in the Big 12, SEC, American and Conference USA, which also use DVSport. The ACC also uses the system, and the Big East men had it available during their tournament last week. “Our officials have the same passion as our coaches — they want to make their team play better and make minimum mistakes and continue to improve,” said John Underwood, the Big 12 associate commissioner for men’s basketball and game management. “They want to get the plays right.” DVSport is already well-known to many pro and college sports teams for its custom software packages that allow coaches and players to use iPads or laptops to break down film of themselves or opposing teams. The Pittsburghbased company got into football CLASSIFIEDS Help Wanted General replay after the Big Ten had a pilot program, and then got NCAA approval on a proposal to allow conferences and independent institutions to experiment with the use of video replay during the 2005 season. Now common in football, a replay system specific to basketball was introduced five years later and is now going to be used in the Big Dance for the first time. Jackson said basketball officials they consulted during development asked for control of the video and standard-sized monitors showing HD video. “Sometimes they would go to one school and they would have a 7-inch monitor that’s black and white,” he said. “And they’re expected to make a decision that affects the outcome of the game, and then you have got everybody at home watching it on 50-inch HD TVs.” Auctions PUBLIC AUCTION Pleasant Valley Hospital currently has openings for full-time, part-time and per diem LPN’s and Certified Medical Assistants for our physician offices and clinics.

NO FOOD / NO RESTROOM �SPORTS 6B Sunday, March 22, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel Graduation rates of women’s teams again top men ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Women competing in this year’s NCAA Tournament continue to graduate at a higher rate than their male counterparts, according to an annual study released Tuesday. The report by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport shows athletes on teams selected for the women’s tournament have a graduation rate of 88 percent, compared to 75 percent for men’s tournament teams. Both tournaments have only one team each that failed to meet the NCAA’s standard of averaging a 50 percent graduation rate over a four-year period. Study author Richard Lapchick noted concern after seeing the disparity gap between white and African-American female athletes grow to 12 percentage points, up from 5 percentage points in 2014. The disparity between white and African-American athletes on men’s tournament teams was 24 percentage points Fairland for the second consecutive year. “My hope is that it’s an anomaly, but I’m very concerned about a jump that’s that great,” Lapchick said. “That’s statistically a very significant number.” This year marked the first time since 2010 that the disparity among women’s tournament teams has reached double-digits. It had steadily decreased since it was 17 percentage points in 2006 and 2007. The gap for men’s teams remains at its lowest point From Page 1B by making six free throws.

The game Friday at Ohio State’s Value City Arena in Columbus was a rematch of the 2014 final won by West Holmes, 62-45.

Jenna Burdette of Eastern was the D-13 North-South participant from Meigs County in 2014. since 2011, when it was 32 percentage points. The Academic Progress Rate was developed by the NCAA in 2004 as a way to improve graduation rates. It is a four-year rolling average of academic performance that takes into account academic eligibility and retention. The NCAA voted in 2011 to institute stricter APR performance policies, raising the score from 925 to 930, equivalent to a 50 percent graduation rate.
