On Wednesday, Joseph D. Plymale, 27, Bidwell, was present for a preliminary hearing in the Gallipolis Municipal Court. Plymale, who his charged with murder, aggravated robbery, weapons under disability, theft of a motor vehicle and theft of weapons, appeared with his defense counsel Winston G. Woodyard. Representing the State of Ohio was Assistant Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Britt Wiseman. During the hearing, the court was informed by the defense coun- sel that the defendant wished to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. Upon the waiver, the court bound the case over to the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County for consideration by a grand jury. Plymale remains in custody at the Gallia County Jail un- der a $2 million bond. Plymale’s co-defendant in this case, Christopher W. Bowman, 34, Gallipolis, was present in the municipal court last Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.

On lockdown Gallia County Local School District holds crisis drill By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL — River Valley High School was locked down on Friday afternoon and the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team stormed the building in search of an active shooter loose inside the school. The gunman, who had barricaded himself into room 112, shot one first responder, before taking his own life as the SWAT team arrived on scene to secure the facility. This awful scene, which has played out at too many schools across the country, including at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Newtown, Conn., was — thankfully — just a scenario all in the name of training at RVHS on Friday, as staff members with the Gallia County Local School District learned what to do and how to react in such a crisis.

See LOCKDOWN | A3 MEIGS COUNTY — One person was killed and another injured in a accident near Eastern High School on Friday morning. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the accident involved a car and a tractor trailer. The crash occurred on Ohio 7, approximately one mile south of Eastern High School. The driver of the car, Michelle Hayes, 29, of Gallipolis, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Meigs County Coroner. Her passenger Lucreshia Howard, 22, of Pomeroy was transported from the scene by MedFlight. The driver of the tractor trailer, Roger Depoy, 53, and his passenger, Tracy Sinclair, 41, both of Guysville, were both uninjured in the crash. Troopers with the Gallia Meigs Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol state that the car driven by Hayes traveled left of center, striking the rear axle of the trailer. An investigation is ongoing into the accident, but it is suspected that drugs may have been involved. Hayes’ body was taken to Dayton for a autopsy. Officials with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Meigs EMS and the local fire department were on scene. Ohio 7 was closed for a period of time, but has since reopened.

Bowman reportedly met Plymale, who was driving the victim’s truck, on Dan Jones Road and assisted Plymale in loading stolen guns from Sheets’ truck into Bowman’s Jeep. Bowman also reportedly told investigators that he and the co-defendant had taken the guns to Plymale’s storage unit. Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation Agents and GalliaMeigs Major Crimes Task Force agents later found Plymale in the possession of a pillow case and guns that were determined to have been stolen from the victim’s residence on Feb. 3 — the date that investigators believe that the victim was killed. The complaints further state that Plymale has a prior felony record for possession of drugs and attempted burglary and has not been relieved of weapons disability. Gallia County Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys, Eric Mulford and Britt Wiseman, later explained that the investigation into the murder of Sheets has progressed expeditiously since initial arrests were made in the case on the evening of Feb. 7. “We were able to prepare and execute multiple search warrants for dwellings, storage facilities, and vehicles which led to key pieces of evidence and multiple arrests,” Mulford stated. As of last Monday afternoon, authorities reported that a total of 10 search warrants had been executed surrounding the investigation in this case, and an additional four arrests have been made. Mulford and Wiseman explained that throughout the early morning hours of Feb. 8, investigators were receiving information concerning the death of Sheets, and through this ongoing investigation, information was received that the led to the uncovering of other criminal activities unrelated to the murder, specifically a home in Gallia County where heroin was being sold. As a result of this, Earl Hager, 55, and Nancy Kirk, 28, were both arrested for the possession of heroin. “Any time we can disrupt drug activity that is infecting our community, it’s a good day for all Gallia County residents,” Wiseman said. Hager and Kirk appeared in the Gallipolis Municipal Court on Wednesday. Their cases were also bound over to the grand jury. Also arrested through the ongoing investigation into the murder of Sheets, were Cody Hockman, 28, Bidwell, and Michelle Coughenour, 40, Patriot, who were apprehended near a Bidwell-area apartment complex on Feb. 8 after Plymale allegedly sold Hockman a rifle that is believed to have belonged to Sheets. Hockman was later arrested on a felony warrant and is facing a possible charge of receiving stolen property, while Coughenour was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning further reported on Monday that the incidents surrounding Sheets’ death and the subsequent six arrests that have been made are a direct result of illicit drug trade. “We feel like the whole situation is heroin-driven,” Browning said. “We found heroin at the apartment, heroin at the camper and we have information that the two suspects in this case were addicted to heroin.” Further information on this case will be released as it is made available by investigators.

According to Gallia County Local Schools Superintendent Jude Meyers, this drill, while nerve-racking for the teachers and staff members, is a very necessary practice run. “We’re going to continue to grow this,” Meyers said. “By law, you have to have crisis drills every year, but I think the frequency is what we need to talk about. We need to make it more important and make our buildings available to law enforcement, because this happened at River Valley, but what if it happened at Addaville; what if it happened out at Hannan Trace? So, we need to make sure we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do in all our buildings, and where our evacuation spots are. We want to grow this throughout the district.” The superintendent further thanked the first responders who participated in the event and extended his invitation of a continuing relationship between law enforcement and the school district to help his staff better prepare for such a crisis. “It’s nice to know that we’ve got this kind of relationship with law enforcement and the community, and we extend the invitation to them to work in any of our buildings so that they can become familiar with them,” he said. “I think our staff did a nice job today. It’s definitely a lot different when you experience it first hand. We do fire drills every month and fires have not impacted schools because of the practice, so today was an important day. We need to continue to work and develop plans and policy based on today to continue to protect our kids and our staff and our community. I think it was a great step forward, but we still have a lot to do.” Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, whose office was invited by the school district to participate in the training and coordinated the event along with the Gallia County 911 Center and Gallia County EMA, stated that Friday’s drill was just as important for training purposes for deputies with the sheriff’s office, personnel with Gallia County EMS and other first responders as it was for the staff members of the school district. “It’s a good opportunity for us to train inside the buildings. We have really nice, new school building that are a lot bigger than the ones that we’re used to participating in, and it is beneficial for us to have the ability to get inside those schools and train. We need to do that and keep that training up,” Browning said. “We’ve trained in other buildings as well, but just having the ability to get our road deputies, our tactical personnel in, I think it is really important for us.” Director of Support Services for the Gallia County Local School District, Michael Jacobs, reported that the district, following the Newtown shooting in December 2012, began to drastically change their policy in regard to crisis training and drills, along with many other school districts across the country — and Friday’s drill was a direct result of that. “We did not make the decision to move forward with this until after what happened at Newtown. It took 20 second graders to die for school systems, including Gallia County, to begin thinking that what they were doing was not working,” Jacobs said. Jacobs further stated that a committee was formed just a week after the Newtown shooting Award From Page A1 to look at how the school district would respond to a similar event. This committee, according to Jacobs, included law enforcement officials, officials with local fire departments, principals, teachers, school board members and parents, who looked at the former crisis plan and made recommendations to change it. “We got information from experts. They said what we needed to do. We needed to change the way we are teaching our kids to defend themselves,” Jacobs stated, while adding that the committee further suggested that the teachers and staff members receive additional training — a recommendation that the board of education has resoundingly approved. “Now our board of education has given our teachers the ability and the authority to make responsible decisions. That is important,” Jacobs said. “Our teachers don’t have to get underneath the tables. If they want to get out, they can get out. If they want to barricade, they can barricade. If they want to fight, they can fight. They can make the decision. They don’t have to wait on me, they don’t have to wait on the administration to make the decisions. They get the right now to protect their life. They have the right to protect our kids’ lives.” Jacobs further discussed a school shooting that did occur in Gallia County several years ago at River Valley Middle School when a man shot his wife — an employee with the school The Auditor of State’s office, one of five independently elected statewide offices in Ohio, is responsible for auditing more than 5,800 state and local government agencies. Under the direction of Auditor Dave Yost, the office also provides financial services to local governments, investigates and prevents fraud in public agencies and promotes transparency in government. our schools. We’ve told our kids to get under the table. We’ve told our kids to stay there. We’ve told our kids, pretty much, we’re going to get you shot,” Jacobs said. “We need our kids from kindergarten up through to understand that you don’t have to stay there to get shot. You can do the same thing here with these kids as you do in your own house. Why should it be different when I have my kids here? These teachers will treat these kids like they are their own children, and they want the right to protect them.” 60483352 MONDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) The entity’s management letter contains no comments related to: Ethics referrals; questioned costs less than $10,000; lack of timely report submission; reconciliation; failure to obtain a timely single audit; findings for recovery less than $100; public meetings or public records. Eastern Local CFO/Treasurer Lisa Ritchie said the award is reflective of the hard work and dedication put in by all those in the treasurer’s office. “The honor takes way more than just me,” said Ritchie. “There are three of us in the office. It takes everyone.” She stated that the audit does not only look at financial reports, but also data collection, attendance and student activity funds. One of the only things not looked at in the audit is the booster clubs as they are separate entities. The district also received the award in 2010 and 2012. Ritchie added that the district did not received the award in 2011 due to federal funds reporting. The problem had to do with the allocation of funds varying each time money was sent to the district. This created a problem with the allocation of funds in the line item. Funds for this were not permitted to be drawn down like other federal grants had been. In addition to Eastern Local, award recipients announced this week were, Arlington Local School District in 2012 and 2013 (Hancock County); Carlisle Local School District (Warren County); Copley-Fairlawn City School District (Summit County); Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority (Montgomery County); Fairfield Union Local School District (Fairfield County); Garaway Local School District (Tuscarawas County); Greene County Vocational School District (Greene County); Interactive Media and Construction, Inc.

Dionne $2/�'+=2381>98� 9=> �239�#/-</>+<C�90�#>+>/ WASHINGTON — One of my favorite moments during the 2012 Republican presidential contest came when Ron Paul, fresh from his strong showing in Iowa, triumphantly told his supporters: “We’re all Austrians now!” I imagined many Americans scratching their heads and wondering: Why do we want to be Austrians? They live in a nice country with stunning mountains and all that, but aren’t we perfectly happy to be Americans? Of course those in the know, particularly Paul’s enthusiasts, understood the libertarian presidential candidate’s reference: that Americans were rejecting the economic ideas of John Maynard Keynes that encouraged government intervention and provided intellectual ballast for the New Deal. Instead, they were coming around to the principles of the antigovernment economics of Austrians Friedrich A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. Hayek and Mises perceived little difference between democratic governments that used their power to plan against recessions and dictatorships that did the same thing. In this view, the policies of Franklin Roosevelt led down what Hayek called “The Road to Serfdom” and were thus objectively comparable to those of Hitler or Stalin. At the time, Paul offered some context for his Austrian journey. He was quoting a supporter who had noted a line attributed to Presi- �98��?=>/.�3=��239b=� <.�=/-</>+<C�90�=>+>/L By Kathleen Parker $2/�'+=2381>98� 9=> WASHINGTON — President Obama gave a lovely speech at the recent National Prayer Breakfast — and one is reluctant to criticize. But pry my jaw from the floorboards. Without a hint of irony, the president lamented eroding protections of religious liberty around the world. Just not, apparently, in America. Nary a mention of the legal challenges to religious liberty now in play between this administration and the Catholic Church and other religious groups, as well as private businesses that contest the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare. Missing was any mention of Hobby Lobby or the Little Sisters of the Poor — whose cases have recently reached the U.S. Supreme Court and that reveal the Obama administration’s willingness to challenge rather than protect religious liberty in this country. It is true that our religiousliberty issues are tamer than those mentioned by Obama. We don’t slaughter people for their religious beliefs. We don’t use blasphemy laws to repress people.

Paul’s words are worth remembering not only because they are entertaining, but also because he has a point. To a remarkable degree, our politics are haunted by the principles of Austrian economics and their sweeping hostility to any actions by government to keep downturns from becoming catastrophes or to promote greater economic fairness. This is, indeed, an enormous change. When Nixon declared his allegiance to Keynesianism, he was reflecting an insight embraced across partisan lines. Government’s exertions, both during the New Deal and more completely during World War II, helped rescue the American economy from depression. Postwar Keynesian approaches, including the Marshall Plan, let loose an economic juggernaut across the Western world. Secular and Christian parties of the moderate right and social democratic parties of the moderate left created free societies and regulated market economies that delivered the goods — literally as well as figuratively — to tens of millions. The actual country of Austria, by the way, largely ignored the “Austrian” economists and followed a similar path. Those who follow Hayek and Mises would have us forget this history, or rewrite it beyond comprehension. They would also have us overlook that Hayek’s “own historical justification for apolitical market economics was entirely wrong,” as the late Tony Judt put it in “Thinking the Twentieth Century,” his extraordinary dialogue with his fellow historian Timothy Snyder, published in 2012, after Judt’s death. Hayek believed, Judt said, that “if you begin with welfare policies of any sort — directing individuals, taxing for social ends, engineering the outcomes of market relationships — you will end up with Hitler.” But to the contrary, postwar initiatives along Keynesian lines are precisely what prevented both the resurgence of fascism and the collapse of Western Europe into communist hands. For that matter, Keynesian steps also kept the whole world from going into a much deeper and more disastrous slide after the financial crisis of 2008. Yet today’s conservatives are in thrall to Austrian thinking, and this explains a lot of what is going on in Washington. Broadly popular measures such as raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment insurance — normal, bipartisan legislation during the Keynesian heyday — are blocked on the assumption that people are better off if the government simply keeps its mitts off the market. It is now difficult for Congress to pass even the kind of spending that all sides once saw as necessary public investment in transportation, research and education. It’s that “road to serfdom” again: Anything government does beyond enforcing contracts and stopping violence is denounced as the first step of a fox trot toward dictatorship. Practice what you preach, Mr. President Sunday Times-Sentinel Correction Policy SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2014 Austian economists paved road to paralysis By Jon Husted Officially, the United States Code deems this Monday a federal holiday commemorating George Washington’s birthday. However, over the years, this has caused some confusion among astute history students who generally agree that our nation’s first president was born Feb. 22, 1732. Why the discrepancy? What started out as a legal holiday to honor Washington on the anniversary of his birth was revised in 1971 under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. That meant from that year forward, the federal holiday would be observed on Mondays, regardless of the date, and that many Americans could therefore celebrate Washington each year with a three-day weekend! In Ohio, we respect and honor the contributions of Washington, just as all Americans do. We are also more than happy to celebrate “Presidents’ Day,” as the holiday has unofficially come to be known, because our state has the distinction of contributing more individuals to our nation’s highest office than any other state. Ohio is the “Mother of presidents” and on Presidents’ Day, I encourage all to take a moment to learn something new and to reflect on our history by visiting www.OhioFoundingFathers.com. For example, did you know that February is also the birth month of our nation’s ninth president, William Henry Harrison, who ran and was elected president while a resident of Cincinnati? My office launched the Founding Fathers initiative last year to provide a one-stop shop for students of all ages to learn these and other facts about Ohio. Here, you will not only find information about the leaders and events that have shaped our state’s history, but you can also easily access historical records maintained by the secretary of state’s office, including election statistics, past and current laws of Ohio and the Ohio Constitution. One of our primary goals was to make civics education fun. We are pleased that since July 2013, thousands of visitors have logged on to our site and tested their Ohio knowledge by taking our “Do You Know Ohio” quiz. As the chief elections official for the state, I believe if we want future generations of voters to be good citizens and to make informed decisions, having a strong foundation in our history is a good place to start. So whether you plan to celebrate “Presidents’ Day,” “Washington’s birthday,” or maybe even William Henry Harrison’s birthday (Feb. 9), take this opportunity to learn something new about our past this month.

As it turns out, many in the audience were reaching for their own jaws when Obama got to the liberty section of his speech, according to several people who attended the breakfast. Michael Cromartie, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, summed up the general reaction of many with whom he spoke: “Stunned.” “Several people said afterward how encouraged they would have been by President Obama’s remarks if only his acts reflected what he said,” Cromartie told me. One table was applauding only out of politeness, according to Jerry Pattengale, who was sitting with Steve Green — president of the Hobby Lobby stores that have challenged Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate. Pattengale described the experience as “surrealistic.” The government’s position is that because Hobby Lobby is a for-profit business, the owners’ religious beliefs can’t be imposed on their employees. Hobby Lobby insists it shouldn’t have to sacrifice its Christian beliefs regarding human life. Pattengale, assistant provost at Indiana Wesleyan University and research consultant to the Green family, also noted the disconnect between the president’s message and policies at home that “are creating a queue at the Supreme Court.” Perhaps Obama’s advisers counted on the good will of the audience. Or they reckoned that juxtaposed against atrocities committed elsewhere, our debates about birth control might be viewed as not much ado. It is understandable that many Americans might not see these legal challenges as especially pressing, especially if they’d just like insurance coverage for contraception — a position with which I personally have no disagreement. But these cases are more than a debate about birth control. They have far-reaching implications and, as Obama pointed out, there is a strong correlation between religious freedom and a nation’s stability. “History shows that nations that uphold the rights of their people — including the freedom of religion — are ultimately more just and more peaceful and more successful.” Since this is so, one wonders why the Obama administration is so dedicated to forcing people Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

By requiring through the contraceptive mandate that some religious-affiliated groups provide health plans covering what they consider abortifacient contraceptives, isn’t the Obama administration effectively imposing its own religious rules? Thou shalt not protect unborn life. The answer to this question is above my paygrade, as Obama memorably answered when asked by Pastor Rick Warren when life begins. The more germane question to cases such as Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters is whether the government can accomplish its goal of making free contraception available without burdening religious objectors. Can’t women in Colorado get contraception without forcing the Little Sisters, a group of nuns who care for the elderly, to violate their core beliefs? Their charitable work could not long survive under penalties the government would impose on them for non-compliance. For now, the Little Sisters have been granted a reprieve, thanks to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Arguments in the Hobby Lobby case are scheduled for March, with a decision expected in June.

Therefore, there may be many people who don’t know of the fact that Ora has went to be with the Lord. This notice fell through the cracks because of his wishes to be cremated and, therefore, was not a traditional funeral, and memorial service held in Oregon was held many weeks later. Ora Franklin Baird was born into the family of Marvin (Wayne) and Ella Belle (Hersman) Baird. He was born Feb. 17, 1944. He was named after his grandfather. He was the fourth of seven children and the youngest son. There was seven years between him and his three sisters, Linda Macias, Louise Woodall and Regina Baird. Sara, Marvin and John were older. He was preceded in death by his mother and baby sister Regina, who died in the same car accident in 1970. Also his father, Wayne, has also went to be with the Lord, as well as his grandparents and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Ora grew up in Gallia County and his parents were farmers when he was born, but he grew up in Kanauga at a place called the Ohio Valley Wrecking Co. This wrecking yard and our home were on the property where the Bob Evans restaurant now stands. Our father had left the farm to become a mechanic and the owner of this wrecking yard. Ora and his brothers worked and learned to be mechanics in the used auto parts and salvage business. It was later sold. After Ora was out of high school, he did mechanic work until he went into the Marine Corps in 1963. Parris Island, S.C., was home for a while. Then he went to jet engine school and worked on aircraft while in the Marine Corps. His brother John was also a jet engine mechanic in the Marines. His older brother Marvin was also a Marine and worked on aircraft. All three wound up at El Toro, Calif., for a time. Ora served side by side with his older brother Marvin for six months in Vietnam in 1966. After Ora was discharged from the Marines in 1967, he returned to Gallipolis. After spending some time getting used to civilian life again, he went to work at the Goodyear plant in Apple Grove, W.Va. Later that year, Marvin and he worked together at Goodyear. They also survived going to work every day for two years, in a small boat with a 2 ½ hosepower motor cross- ing the Ohio River below the dam at the Silver Bridge fell. After the Silver Bridge fell, Ora befriended a girl named Marty whose husband had died on the bridge. Her husband was one of Ora’s friends. His intent was to be a friend to her while she was dealing with her husband’s death and having a son (Lee Higley). Marty had two sons, Robbie and Lee. Ora and Marty’s relationship grew and they were later married. Ora and Marty later had a daughter named Terri. They lived in a home in Plants Subdivision until his mother died and then he moved into her house on Shoestring Ridge. Ora and his family later moved to Florida. After being in Florida for a period of time, they got a divorce. Because of the divorce, he moved to California, where his brother John was living after getting out of the Marine Corps. He soon moved his three children to California to take care of them. Ora and John became partners in a Chevron station and garage, where they did mechanic work. While in California, Ora married again. His second wife is Alice. She had two daughters. After some time, Ora and John lost their business to urban renewal. At that point, they went their separate ways. Ora moved to Eugene and John moved to Reno, Nev. While in Oregon, Ora continued his ownership of service station and mechanic businesses. As things changed and Ora got older, he got out of the service station business and operated a convenience store – a 7-11. Ora died of a heart attack while working in his yard with his wife, Alice, very suddenly and unexpectedly the evening of July 10, 2013.

Summary language rejected for election-related amendment a public or private institution of higher education.” However, federal law requires specific forms of identification for first-time voters who registered by mail to vote and have never voted in a federal election. In general, college IDs are not among the valid forms of identification for such voters. The language of the amendment, combined with the omission of any reference to this federal pre-emption, makes the summary misleading. Second, the summary alleges that currently, pursuant to Section 1, Article V of the Ohio Constitution, “any elector who fails to vote for 4 consecutive years ceases to be an elector unless he again registers to vote.” However, federal law passed in 1993 supersedes this provision and provides for a different process. The summary thus makes a misleading representation of current law affecting Ohio voters. “For these reasons, I am unable to certify the summary as a fair and truthful statement of the proposed amendment,” DeWine said in his letter rejecting the petition. “However, I must caution that this letter is not intended to represent an exhaustive list of all defects in the submitted summary.” In order for a constitutional amendment to proceed, an initial petition containing summary language of the amendment and 1,000 signatures from Ohio registered voters must be submitted to the Ohio Attorney General. Once the summary language and initial signatures are certified, the Ohio Ballot Board would determine if the amend- ment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, equal to 5 percent of the total vote cast in the county for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total vote cast for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election.

The Lady Wildcats took care of the basketball and slowed the pace down, outscoring Southern 10to-8 in the fourth quarter to seal the 68-34 triumph and their 11th straight sectional crown. “I don’t think you ever take these for granted,” said ninth year Waterford head coach Jerry Close. “We’ve been fortunate in that we’ve had good kids and had good draws. We expect to win a district title and our goal every year is to go to the state tournament, some years it’s not realistic but every year that’s our goal.” Southern was led by senior Celestia Hendrix with a double-double effort of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Cierra Turley and Jordan Huddleston both finished with seven points, while Jansen Wolfe added two, rounding out the SHS total.

Haley Hill also led the defense with six steals, while Teaford had a game-high four rejections. Waterford was led by Dani Drayer with 26 points, despite not playing in the fourth quarter.

The money goes to schools in their hometowns of El Cajon, Calif., and Muskogee, Okla., as well as Charlotte, where the Johnsons live. New pro basketball league to debut in spring NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Attention basketball fans: A new professional basketball league is making its debut this year. The Central Basketball Association is scheduled to play its first games on March 1. The CBA will include seven teams, with additional teams to join in 2015. The focus of the CBA will be to give players the exposure they need to build their resumes and possibly make an International NBA DLeague or even NBA roster. The first seven teams are: the Bowling Green (Ky.) Hornets, Chattanooga Rail Runners, Fort Wayne (Ind.) Flite, Memphis Soul Kings, Middle Tennessee Storm, River City Panthers, and the Saint Louis Hawks. Additional teams for 2015 will be in Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Lexington, Ky.; and South Bend, Ind. �@C>6Cî492>Aî�@C5@? 4@F=5îH2=<î2H2JîH:E9î\ñ9îE:E=6 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Gordon is prepared to retire if he can win a fifth NASCAR championship. The 42-year-old Gordon won championships in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2001. He won all of them when NASCAR’s top series ran under the Winston Cup banner. He wants to win a Sprint Cup championship. With a family at home, a fifth title could convince him to call it quits. “If that happened, that would be all the reasons I need to say, this is it. I’m done,” Gordon says. “Go out on a high note.” Gordon said recently he was “jokingly serious” about retiring after another championship. At Daytona, he insisted he was serious. “I go home and I look at my trophy room. I see four trophies, championship trophies,” he said Thursday at Daytona 500 media day. “But they say Winston Cup on them. You can name me a four-time Sprint Cup champion for technical reasons all you want, but to me, I’m still not. I want that before my career’s over.” He would love to make a push in the No. 24 in the revamped Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Gordon was added to the Chase last season when NASCAR chairman Brian France used his power to make an unprecedented expansion to the field after two separate investigations into radio chatter revealed numerous instances of race manipulation at Richmond. France determined Gordon did not have a fair chance to race his way into the 12-driver field because of the actions of at least three organizations over the closing laps. Gordon was sixth last season in the standings, his best finish since he was third in 2009. He has 88 Cup victories, third on the career Cup list, and has had only two winless seasons since 1993. “I’ve put in 20-plus great years,” he said “I do this now because I love it, because I like Kevin Mingora | Allentown Morning Call | MCT photo being competitive, and because I want anoth- Jeff Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet, celebrates his victory in the er championship.

(AP) — Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. As far as he’s concerned, those are the only major changes since he broke two bones in his leg in an August sprint-car crash. So when the green flag drops Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway for his first race since the accident, Stewart believes it will be the same old “Smoke” behind the wheel. If he had any doubts — and he’s insisted he doesn’t — they were alleviated by 24 smooth laps in the first of two Friday night practice sessions for the exhibition Sprint Unlimited. All told, Stewart ran 50 laps — 125 miles — around Daytona. “There’s zero percentage of pain in the car. That was nice,” Stewart said. “I thought we would have some kind of ache or pain, but it was like putting on an old pair of shoes again.” Stewart, who does not have a backup driver at Daytona, has not raced in more than six months. It’s an unheard of amount of time off for a driver who makes his money racing in NASCAR yet crisscrossed the country cramming 50 or more weeknight events into his yearround schedule. So he found himself clock-watching Friday afternoon, anxious to put his firesuit back on and head into the garage for the first time this season. A notorious late-arriver to his car, Stewart showed up to the garage stall for the No. 14 Chevrolet almost 20 minutes early. He was in his seat, buckled in and helmet on, with almost 10 minutes to just sit and think about his first few laps. “Every five minutes, I was looking at the clock. That’s a long time to be staring at the clock,” said Stewart, who joked he told new crew chief Chad Johnston not to expect to see him at the car so early moving forward. “That’s not going to be a habit.” Fans above his garage stall cheered Stewart’s arrival, and he was greeted by a sizeable media contingent at the car. Standing quietly in front of the car was his father, Nelson, who said the scene “almost reminds me of when he ran the (Indianapolis) 500 for the first time.” It was a mundane day of practice, but Stewart didn’t mind the attention. “Today in the big picture was just another practice day, but obviously it was a little bigger than normal,” he admitted. So relieved at how smooth it went, the old Stewart quickly returned as he felt the tug from nearby dirt track Volusia Speedway Park. “If I didn’t think that Greg Zipadelli would absolutely kill me, I would probably want to go race at Volusia tonight. It felt that good,” he said. “I don’t think Zippy would be the only guy — I think the entire organization would probably duct tape me to the flag pole on the front stretch just so I couldn’t go.” Instead, walking with a slight limp, he headed inside his team hauler to “do what I always do — eat some animal crackers and have a Coke.” Stewart’s layoff was certainly difficult, enhanced by the pain from his broken leg. He had two surgeries for the breaks, then a third to treat an infection. He was flat on his back, confined to the first-floor bedroom of his longtime business manager’s house, where he was forced to lay with his leg elevated above his heart. When there was Stewart-Haas Racing business to address, team personnel did it at his bedside. Stewart required an ambulance to get to his doctor appointments, and when he finally was able to get out of bed, he needed a wheelchair to get around. And when Stewart — a driver SHR vice president of competition Zipadelli referred to as “Superman” in the days after his accident — finally made an appearance at the race track, it was on a motorized scooter. Nobody was comfortable seeing the three-time NASCAR champion so restricted. Many wondered if he’d ever be the same. Not Stewart. “Right off the bat, the surgeon, the therapists, they’ve all said, ‘You’re going to have 100-percent recovery,’” Stewart said. “With that, from Day 1, it took the doubt out.” Any questions about getting back into a race car were erased, and Stewart turned his attention to his recovery. He wondered when he’d be 100 percent — doctors have told him it will take a year, and he said this week his leg is only 65-percent healed — and when the pain would subside. He asked doctors if he’d always have some sort of lingering pain, and he threw himself into a tough rehabilitation program. As he progressed and moved closer to Friday’s practice sessions, his SHR team built a module that includes a seat, steering wheel, steering column and pedals so Stewart could sit and hold the pedal down for 20 minutes to simulate the pressure of having his foot on the throttle. New teammate Kevin Harvick ordered Stewart a special pad that hangs off the steering wheel that will prevent his knees from banging into the steering column. Now his peers wait to see how Stewart will drive. Harvick said they attended a sponsor appearance together this week and when they left, Stewart “was like a crazed lunatic. You could see that look in his eye. He looked at me and said, ‘I’m ready to … race!’” A driver who has excelled in races because of his ability to feel the car, some have wondered if the injury has taken that talent from Stewart. He doesn’t believe the broken leg has robbed him of anything. �Sunday, February 16, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� O LYMPICS MEDALS s STANDINGS s EVENTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2014 MEDALS WINTER OLYMPIC MEDALS TABLE At Sochi, Russia (Through Friday, Feb. 14) (44 of 98 total events) Nation G S Germany 7 2 Switzerland 5 1 Canada 4 5 Norway 4 3 United States 4 3 Netherlands 4 3 Belarus 3 0 Russia 2 5 China 2 2 France 2 0 Poland 2 0 Austria 1 4 Japan 1 2 Slovenia 1 1 Britain 1 0 South Korea 1 0 Slovakia 1 0 Sweden 0 5 Italy 0 2 Czech Republic 0 2 Australia 0 1 Croatia 0 1 Finland 0 1 Latvia 0 0 Kazakhstan 0 0 Ukraine 0 0 B 1 1 2 6 6 5 1 5 0 2 0 0 1 2 1 1 0 2 2 1 1 0 0 2 1 1 Tot 10 7 11 13 13 12 4 12 4 4 2 5 4 4 2 2 1 7 4 3 2 1 1 2 1 1 SCHEDULE SATURDAY NBC 3-6 p.m. — Women’s Short Track - 1500 Gold Medal Final; Women’s Cross-Country - 4x5km Relay Gold Medal Final; Men’s Skeleton - Gold Medal Final Runs 8-11:30 p.m. — Women’s Alpine Skiing - SuperG Gold Medal Final; Men’s Short Track - 1000 Gold Medal Final; Men’s Speedskating - 1500 Gold Medal Final; Men’s Ski Jumping - Individual K-125 Large Hill Gold Medal Final Midnight-1 a.m. — Women’s Curling - United States vs. Sweden 1-4:30 a.m. — Primetime Encore NBCSN 3-5:30 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - Slovakia vs. Slovenia (LIVE) 5:30-7 a.m. — Women’s Cross-Country 4x5km Relay Gold Medal Final (LIVE) 7-10 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - United States vs. Russia (LIVE) 10 a.m.-Noon — Men’s Skeleton - Gold Medal Final Runs (LIVE) Noon-3 p.m. — Men’s Hockey - Switzerland vs. Czech Republic (LIVE) 5-6 p.m. — Hockey Encore 6-8 p.m. — Game of the Day: Hockey MSNBC 3-5:30 a.m. — Women’s Hockey - Quarterfinal (LIVE) 5:30-7:30 a.m. — Women’s Curling - Canada vs. Japan 7:30-10 a.m. — Women’s Hockey - Quarterfinal (LIVE) CNBC 5-8 p.m. — Women’s Curling - United States vs. Sweden USA Noon-2:30 p.m. — Men’s Hockey - Sweden vs. Latvia (LIVE) SUNDAY NBC 3-6 p.m. — Men’s Cross-Country - 4x10km Relay Gold Medal Final; Women’s Snowboarding - Snowboard Cross Competition 7-11 p.m. — Figure Skating - Ice Dancing Short Dance; Men’s Alpine Skiing - Super-G Gold Medal Final; Women’s Snowboarding - Snowboard Cross Gold Medal Final; Women’s Speedskating - 1500 Gold Medal Final; Two-Man Bobsled - Competition 11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. — Men’s Biathlon - 15km Mass Start Gold Medal Final; Figure Skating - Ice Dancing Short Dance Postgame 12:35-4:30 a.m. — Primetime Encore NBCSN 3-5 a.m. — Men’s Curling - United States vs. Canada 5-7:15 a.m. — Men’s Cross-Country - 4x10km Relay Gold Medal Final (LIVE) 7:15-10 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - Slovenia vs. United States (LIVE) 10 a.m.-2 p.m. — Figure Skating - Ice Dancing Short Dance (LIVE) 2-3 p.m. — Men’s Biathlon - 15km Mass Start Gold Medal Final 3-5 p.m. — Hockey Encore 5-7 p.m. — Game of the Day: Hockey MSNBC 5-8 a.m. — Women’s Curling - United States vs. Canada (LIVE) CNBC 4-7 p.m. — Men’s Curling - United States vs. Sweden USA 3-5:30 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - Austria vs. Norway (LIVE) 7:30-10 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - Russia vs. Slovakia (LIVE) Noon-2:30 p.m. — Men’s Hockey - Finland vs. Canada (LIVE) AT A G L A N C E Swiss skiers surge SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Skiers cut their sleeves before heading out to the cross-country course Friday during one of the warmest days at the Sochi Olympics. At figure skating, however, the rising temperatures had strictly to do with Japanese teen Yuzuru Hanyu, whose white-hot performance has him positioned to win the men’s title. With the mercury hitting 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit) at the mountain-top venues, Swiss skiers earned goal medals in both the men’s classical-style 15-kilometer race and the men’s super-combined slalom. The haul gave the Swiss five golds, just two behind Germany, the Dario Cologna won the sweat-drenched 15-kilometer race to earn his second gold of the games. Cologna, who had ankle surgery in November, won the 30-kilometer skiathlon Sunday. Sandro Viletta stunned the favorites to win the super-combined. Two top Americans, defending champ Bodie Miller and world champion Ted Ligety, failed to win a medal. On Day 8 of the Sochi Games, four other sports were awarding medals: biathlon, freestyle skiing, skeleton and figure skating. Hanyu was a big favorite heading into the free skate after becoming the first skater to break the 100-point mark in a short program. The 19-yearold Hanyu is trying to become not only the first Japanese men’s Olympic champion in figure skating, but the first from any Asian country. Hanyu didn’t have to worry about famed Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, who retired Thursday night after an injury during warmups forced him from the short program.

The season’s last race, there was no argument. Yarnold won the Olympic women’s skeleton gold medal Friday night, a victory that puts the 25-yearold unquestionably atop her sport, probably for years to come. Her fourrun time was 0.97 seconds faster than silver medalist Noelle Pikus-Pace of Eagle Mountain, Utah, who entered retirement by exorcising the memory of letting a medal slip away in Vancouver four years ago. “It won’t sink in for a few more days, but I’m over the moon,” Yarnold said, as a full moon illuminated part of the Russian night sky. “I’m so proud. I put in all the work for five years and it all worked out.” Yarnold, who also won the World Cup overall title this season, claimed Britain’s first gold at the Sochi Games. Her time was 3 minutes, 52.89 seconds, and the final trip down the track was a mere formality, given that she already had a 0.78-second edge over Pikus-Pace and only needed to avoid a giant mistake. daughter Lacee, gave her an embrace and sang her It didn’t happen.

Instead, tape on the handle of her she picked up Pikus-Pace’s sled. That decision played a huge role in deciding the World Cup title. From there, Pikus-Pace set her sights on closing out her sliding career with an Olympic medal — which is really the only thing that lured her from retirement two years ago, especially since a trip to the podium in Vancouver was lost when she made a mistake in Curve 2 of her final run at the 2010 Olympics. “This is a dream come true for myself and my family,” Pikus-Pace said. “Absolutely unbelievable.

The fourth-seeded Eagles were never closer the rest of the way, as Ohio Valley Christian went on a 17-2 surge in the third canto to claim a comfortable 51-14 cushion headed into the finale. The Defenders won the fourth by a 10-7 margin, wrapping up the 40-point triumph. OVCS connected on 26-of-65 field goal attempts overall, including a 1-of-10 effort from three-point range for 10 percent. The hosts also made 8-of-14 free throw tries for 57 percent. T.G. Miller and Elijah McDonald led the Defenders with 13 points apiece, followed by Marshall Hood with 11 points and Dustin Ragan with 10 markers. Evan Bowman and Danny Ballentyne each contributed six points to the winning cause, while Phil Hollingshead rounded out the scoring with two markers. SCA made 9-of-37 floor shots for 24 percent, including a 1-of7 effort from behind the arc for 14 percent. The guests were also 2-of-9 at the charity stripe for 22 percent. Isaac Abbott paced the Eagles with nine points, followed by Paul Kindig with five points and Nick Gibson with three markers. OVCS will play the winner of the Dominion Academy-East Richland Christian contest in an OCSAA Southeast Region final next week. The date has yet to be determined. Blue Devil center, Owen Moore commits to Chicago Please visit us online at www.mydailytribune.com Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Gallia Academy standout lineman Owen Moore signed his letter of intent Wednesday to continue his football career at the University of Chicago. Owen, an All-Southeastern Ohio Athletic League first team selection this past fall, will be attending a school known more for its work in the classroom than on the gridiron. The U.S. News and World Report ranked Chicago as the fifth National University, trailing Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia and it is tied with Stanford. “Obviously Chicago is an exciting city,” Moore said. “This is a great academic school and that really attracted me to it. Football is just a plus on top of that stuff.” Moore currently holds a 4.15 grade point average at GAHS and is tied for first in the class of 2014. “Coaching him was awesome,” Gallia Academy head coach Wade Bartholomew said. “Owen is a kid that was the same every single day, you got perfection, you got determination and you got an attitude that he was willing to succeed. He’s a kid that understands what hard work is on and off the field. The classroom comes first for him at all times, he even started study tables for us during the season because he wanted to make sure every kid understood how important academics were. He set the standard and he’s being paid off for it by getting the chance to go the University of Chicago.” Owen would like to thank God, his family, his parents, his coaches, the GAHS administration and his teachers. “I feel like we’ve played a great level of competition at Gallia Academy and it’s been two great years,” Owen said. “Academically it’s been a great school, one of the best public schools around here and I feel like I’m going to be prepared when I go up there.” Pictured, sitting in the front from left, are Owen’s father Joe Moore, Owen Moore, and Owen’s mother Sarah Evans-Moore. Standing in the back, from left, are GAHS Superintendent Roger Mace, GAHS Athletic Director Brent Simms, Blue Devils assistant football coach Alex Penrod, Blue Devils assistant football coach Brad Harris and Blue Devils head football coach Wade Bartholomew. The University of Chicago is located in the Hyde Park area of the Windy City and is home to the first Heisman Trophy winner, Jay Berwanger, in 1935. Owen plans on majoring in economics at Chicago. Angels From Page B1 The Lady Generals forced eight turnovers in the third stanza, which aided in a 24-13 charge en route to a 53-29 lead headed into the finale. Both teams scored 16 points apiece down the stretch, wrapping up the 24-point outcome. Sheridan’s largest lead of the night was 27 points, which came on four different occasions in the fourth quarter — the last of which was at 68-41 with 1:29 remaining. A Baylee Thomas trifecta at the 6:49 mark of the first period gave SHS a pemanent lead at 5-2. The Blue Angels were outrebounded by a 45-34 overall margin, which included a 15-11 deficit on the offensive glass. The guests also committed 19 turnovers in the setback, two more than Sheridan. The Lady Generals advance to the 2:45 p.m. sectional final Saturday, where they will face third-seeded Vinton County — who picked up a 60-41 win over Fairfield Union in the second semifinal at LHS Thursday night. Gallia Academy made 17-of-64 shot attempts overall, including a 2-of-18 effort from three-point range for 11 percent. The guests were also 9-of-15 from the free throw line for 60 percent.

The season may not be over for Gallia Academy’s lone senior Kassie Shriver, as the Blue Angels are still trying to reschedule a non-conference game with River Valley. Waterford From Page B1 Including the postseason Waterford has now defeated the Lady Tornadoes in 23 consecutive meetings, dating back to the 200405 season. Southern’s last victory over the Lady Cats came on January 29, 2004 by a 57-55 count in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium. The 2003-04 season was also the last time Southern won a sectional title. “This year the girls knew losing wasn’t an option,” said Cleland. “They played together, they worked hard together and they did everything we asked them to. The best thing is that we have a lot coming back.” Southern seniors Celestia Hendrix, Jordan Huddleston and Darien Diddle wrapped up their basketball careers in the Purple and Gold.

(AP) — Martin Truex Jr. took a winding, unexpected path to find a new job. He didn’t realize it would seem to take almost as long and be just as cumbersome to join his Furniture Row Racing team at Daytona. Truex was one of the final stragglers to make it to the track after weather woes — and some poor planning — forced him to miss Thursday’s Daytona 500 media day. Truex’s plane that was scheduled to leave at 10:45 a.m. Thursday didn’t take off until close to 5 p.m. because a winter storm and icy conditions that affected travel in the South and East. Truex’s 15-minute drive to the airport took about an 1 hour, 15 minutes. Truex, and his travel partner, Ryan Newman, both were no-shows at the kickoff for the Daytona 500. Truex was in an 0 for 2 slump in NASCAR media appearances: He checked in via Skype from Anguilla — with palm trees in the background and drink with umbrella in hand — during last month’s media tour. Upbeat and much, much warmer, Truex at last made it Friday. And he can’t wait to get going. Truex will make his debut for Furniture Row Racing at Daytona, a season after losing his ride in one of the biggest scandals in NASCAR history. He lost his spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, his sponsor, and his job — a trifecta of bad news that left him scrambling for a ride late in 2013. He didn’t reach an agreement with Furniture Row until November in Texas. “There’s a lot of time between Texas and the Daytona 500 to think about it,” Truex said. “It’s kind of a tough time there. You really want to get in there with your new team and get to work.” Truex hopes he found a home at Furniture Row, a one-car operation based in Denver, Colorado, far removed from NASCAR’s North Carolina hub. The seat opened when Kurt Busch bolted for a ride at the suddenly crowded StewartHaas Racing organization. More resources, more cash, more opportunities to win. Furniture Row, though, had amazing success with Busch. Busch turned the traditionally undewhelming organization into championship contenders, helping them become the first singlecar team to earn a berth in the Chase. “It definitely makes you feel better knowing that they’ve been able to put up great results and they’ve had fast race cars,” Truex said. “That’s part of the reason I went there. I wasn’t going to go there if I didn’t think we couldn’t win races. That’s not what I’m here for.” The other part? Truex needed a job when Michael Waltrip Racing crew chief Ty Norris was caught on the radio during the September race at Richmond instructing MWR driver Brian Vickers to pit to help teammate Truex make the Chase. NASCAR investigated and bounced Truex from the 12-driver Chase field following the Richmond scandal. MWR was fined $300,000 for manipulating the outcome of the race, and all three crew chiefs for the organization were placed on probation for the rest of the season. MWR also lost a major sponsorship deal with NAPA. Newman took Truex’s spot in the Chase and Jeff Gordon was added to the field as a 13th driver. “It was tough for me,” Truex said, “but I moved on � Jose Carlos Fajardo | Contra Costa Times | MCT photo NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr. celebrates winning the Toyota SaveMart 350 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., on Sunday, June 23, 2013. pretty quick. I’m very fortunate I was able to land in a great position right now, with how things went and how late in the season it was.” Truex may be a one-driver entry, but he’s far from alone. Richard Childress Racing has a technical alliance with Furniture Row, that includes technology sharing, engi- neering, and research and development. Truex made a couple of offseason trips to Denver to bond with his new crew. He’d like to help Furniture Row go back-to-back with a Chase spot — something he can do with a victory. Truex, though, has only two career wins, including one last season at Sonoma. After the penalties, he was 16th in the standings. He’s not looking back — ready to push scandal aside and focus on a new era. “If you ever had to pick a time to switch teams, you’d want to do it when there’s some big rules changes,” Truex said. “You kind of start off on an even playing field.” $�)��([Dî�2?:42î&2EC:4<îC624EDîE@î(:492C5î&6EEJ[Dî4C:E:4:D> DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Danica Patrick has a photo of her in the car at Daytona, on the receiving end of two thumbs up from Richard Petty. “It’s a back shot of his butt sticking out,” Patrick said, smiling. It had been the extent of the interaction between the pair — just a playful sign of encouragement from the Hall of Famer to one of NASCAR’s most popular drivers. Turned out, Petty must have thought Patrick was taking the wheel in a race she had no chance at winning. Patrick spent most of her appearance at Daytona 500 media day on Thursday brushing off criticism from The King that the only way she could win a Sprint Cup race was “if everybody else stayed home.” She refused to fire back at Petty, a seven-time champion, politely stating that he was entitled to his opinion. Patrick handled the comments much in the same way she dismissed Kyle Petty’s remarks last year that “she’s not a race car driver.” “It has nothing to do with where it comes from,” she said. “The people that matter the most to me are my team, my sponsors and those little 3-year-old kids that run up to you and want a great big hug and say they want to grow up to be like you. That’s the stuff I really focus on.” Patrick talked at length about almost every topic but racing for the second straight year to kick off Daytona. She spent her 20-minute session last year answering questions about her new relationship with fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. This year, Stenhouse again was a hot topic, with people wanting to know: What are the couple’s Valentine’s Day plans? “I did say to him yesterday, ‘Hey babe, I feel like I shouldn’t be thinking about this because it should be your job, but would you like me to ask someone to make reservations at a restaurant,’” she asked. Odds are, the famous pair won’t be asking the Pettys to join them for a bite to eat. Petty gave NASCAR plenty to chew on last week when he said Patrick only gets attention because she’s a woman, but added that publicity is good for NASCAR. “If she’d have been a male, nobody would ever know if she’d showed up at a racetrack,” Petty said. “This is a female deal that’s driving her. There’s nothing wrong with that, because that’s good PR for me. More fans come out, people are more interested in it. She has helped to draw attention to the sport, which helps everybody in the sport.” Like any supportive boyfriend, Stenhouse was proud of the way Patrick has handled the media glare. “I would not be happy if it was about me like that,” he said. “But I think she’s proved she can drive these race cars. She’s got a lot to learn. Heck, I’ve got a lot to learn.” Maybe they’ll figure out why the Pettys have been so petty toward Patrick. “I don’t know what their problem is,” Stenhouse said. “But, hey, they have opinions and they like to talk.” Leaders Button of the Pack Button The pets seen here are currently the front runners in the Cutest Pet Contest.

Blue Eyes �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2014 ALONG THE RIVER Recess fun in the snow By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS — As students returned to school this week after several snow days, staff at Eastern Elementary School decided to make use of the snowcovered school yard. As word was announced that there would be school early in the week, parents and students were also told that, for as long as the snow sticks around, students would have outside snow recess. There were some stipulations for this, requiring students to be dressed in appropriate attire for the snow and to bring an extra change of clothes. Students who do not ride buses were also encouraged to bring sleds to share with their classmates. Principal Jody Howard said students in grades 1-4 were allowed to have time sleigh riding and playing in the snow during there recess time. The students were not the only ones participating as some of the teachers, staff and administrators also took part in the fun.

Photos submitted by Crystal Hupp Visitors to the Point Pleasant Foodland store got a little more than they bargained for Thursday when actress Jennifer Garner showed up. The Charleston, W.Va., native was in Mason County filming a new PBS series with Half the Sky Movement’s Nicholas Kristof. Garner, who is involved with the charitable organization Save the Children, and Kristof, are looking at the impact the charity has had on the lives of local children. Garner also reportedly spent time at Beale Elementary as well as some other organizations in the area that reach out to those in need. Garner is pictured at Foodland on Thursday where she was an unexpected customer for cashier Casey McCallister. Garner, an artist ambassador for Save the Children, was in Mason County in 2010 to announce the organization’s new sites in Mason County and back then spoke at Ashton Elementary. Save the Children has a variety of areas it focuses upon, including providing kids in economically depressed areas with literacy tools as well as physical activity and nutrition programs. Garner is known to be fiercely loyal and proud of her home state, including serenading talk show host Conan O’Brien with a version of “West Virginia Hills.” Photo submitted by Jason Taylor So here we are a month and a half into the new year and most resolutions to live a really healthy lifestyle have already been broken. And again, there you are sprawled out on the sofa, sipping a sugary soda and stuffing yourself with some greasy something after making that resolution to eat better and less, and exercise more in an effort to lose that roll around the middle. Good intentions, lacking in follow-through. Losing weight by eating less Charlene Hoeflich but more nutritious food, and choeflich@civitasmeexercising more are surely the dia.com most popular among resolutions, and probably the most broken. But despair not. Tomorrow is another day. Just remember what they say: “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again.” Now when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, getting organized is right there underneath “eat better” and “exercise more” on the list. Let me say that getting organized is at the top of my list. Now, I have reasonably healthy eating habits, and exercise sometimes, but when it comes to getting better organized, that’s a bit of a problem. However, let me say that I always know where everything is — it’s just in piles or boxes, not neatly filed away, and sometimes it takes a while to find it. I like to collect stuff as anyone who has ever visited my home knows. There is no space left in curio cabinets or on shelves for the pretties I like to collect. And I have this thing about hanging onto things. With me this goes in several directions, but particularly with old stuff which I like to describe as “my sentimental treasures.” I know, for the most part, that the newspaper clippings, pictures, letters and show programs, along with other stuff filling several marked boxes, are of no particular value to anyone except me, and frankly I’m not willing to part with one thing. Trash to many perhaps, treasures to me. ________________ It’s been a hard winter for many, with near zero temperatures causing an increase in the amount of money it costs to keep the lights on and the house warm. Since those bills have to be paid to avoid the threat of a shutoff, the money in many instances is taken out of the food budget. The Meigs Cooperative Parish, one of the primary places where people can turn when the cupboard is bare, reports seeing more and more residents come in for food bags. At times, it has become a challenge to meet the need. Not that residents who have aren’t contributing their fair share, it’s just that the demand in Meigs County, in times like these when the bills get higher and the money gets tighter, becomes somewhat of a challenge to meet the increasing need. Many groups who consistently contribute food are stepping up their efforts to give more. There are the Zumba dance instructors Paulette Harrison, Jeannie Owen and Devon Soulsby, who teach weekly Zumba classes at the Mulberry Community Center, not for a fee, but for contributions of food to go to the parish. While any food contribution is more than welcome, every month the dance instructors recommend a specific product to fill a particular need. This month it’s peanut butter. ________________ Have you noticed that the days are getting a little longer as we move toward spring.

(AP) — What do you do with 15 million cubic yards of sand? If you’re Mosaic, one of the world’s largest phosphate companies, you build two award-winning golf courses. And a spa. And an edgy, modern hotel. In the middle of central Florida, far from any theme park or beach. Streamsong Resort opened its golf courses and clubhouse in late 2012, and last month, it unveiled its 216-room lodge. It’s located in the tiny community of Bowling Green, which is closer in DNA to cattle ranches than Disney. In fact, Streamsong is difficult to find; the journey from the Tampa Bay area included a turn at a ramshackle BBQ restaurant and a drive past several cows. A medium-sized metal sign with the resort’s name is the only thing signaling that one has arrived on the property. Visitors are first greeted by the sight of large, grass covered dunes and blue lakes, and instead of the flat landscape of central Florida, there are hills and dips and This 2013 image provided by Streamsong shows the clubhouse at the new Streamsong Resort. yes, some green of the golf courses. A modern-looking hotel, with its slightly curved exterior, is nestled near a lake. The whole landscape is nothing like anything in Florida, possibly because it’s not groomed and plucked and patterned with palm trees. The property is oddly wild and rough, yet zen-like and tranquil. The resort was built on what was once a phosphate mine. The mining, which was last done on the property in the 1960s, left behind the sand and the dunes. About seven years ago, a Mosaic executive wondered what the company could do with the property. “We needed to do something that was exceptional,” said Rich Mack, the general counsel for and executive vice president at Mosaic. “You can go to a lot of great places in Florida. We need- ed to do exceptional, not just great.” Mack had played college golf and some competitive golf as an adult, so he called in three of the world’s preeminent golf course designers to evaluate the property (Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw and Tom Doak, the people behind some of the courses at Bandan Dunes in Oregon, for you golfing aficionados). See RESORT | C4 was measured against the stoic hero who shook off all doubts, vanquished all foes and offered women a muscular shoulder to cry on. But that was before feminism, gay-rights activism, metrosexuals. Husbands took on a greater share of housework and child care. The military welcomed women and gays. A romantic movie about gay cowboys, “Brokeback Mountain,” won three Oscars. And this week, the ground shifted under the hyper-masculine realm of America’s most popular pro sport — the National Football League, it seems, will soon have its first openly gay player. Off the playing field, in their daily lives, countless American men are trying to navigate these changes. For some, it’s a source of confusion and anxiety. “Men are conflicted, ambivalent,” said James O’Neil, a psychology professor at the University of Connecticut who has written extensively on men’s struggles over gender roles. “On one hand they’ve been socialized to meet the old stereotypes.” he said. “On the other hand, particularly for men in their 30s and 40s, they begin to say, ‘That’s not working for me. It’s too stressful.’ They’re looking for alternative models of masculinity.” But for other Americans, the upheaval is a good thing. “Ultimately, confusion about modern masculinity is a good thing: It means we’re working past the outmoded definition,” wrote journalist and blogger Ann Friedman in a nymag.com article last fall titled “What Does Manhood Mean in 2013?” After World War II, at least on the surface, there seemed to be an overwhelming consensus of what American manhood was all about. It was typified by Gary Cooper and John Wayne on the movie screen, by the GIs on America’s foreign battlefields, by the executives with homemaker wives and no corporate worries about gender diversity. The feminist movement that emerged in the 1960s fractured this consensus and fueled significant, though gradual, changes in many Americans’ perceptions of gender roles and stereotypes. By now, although women remain underrepresented as CEOs, they comprise close to half the enrollment in U.S. medical and law schools, and are being welcomed into military combat units.

Trick question. They all make ice cream. The supermarket freezer aisle got a little more crowded Monday as Yuengling — a name more associated with ale, porter and lager than vanilla, chocolate and strawberry — took its place alongside the familiar brands. Beer drinkers up and down the East Coast know Yuengling as a 185-year-old family-owned Pennsylvania brewery whose lager flows from taps in countless bars and restaurants. What they might not realize is that Yuengling used to make ice cream, too, starting in 1920 at the dawn of Prohibition. Now Yuengling’s Ice Cream is back after an absence of nearly 30 years, available at hundreds of stores in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. Additional stores and markets could be added later. “I was brought up with it,” said Bob Pomian, picking up a $4.99 carton of chocolate marshmallow at a store in Pottsville, a few miles away from the brewery. “If it’s the same ice cream I ate 50 years ago, then I’d be happy with it.” This incarnation of Yuengling’s Ice Cream is a separate company with no connection to the brewery. But it has already capitalized on that famous name. Yuengling’s initial run of 100,000 quarts rolled off the production line ahead of schedule because of high demand, fueled by nostalgia and the popularity of the eponymous beer. “One of the biggest things in putting a new product on the market is getting brand-name recognition, which is a problem we don’t have,” said Yuengling’s Ice Cream President David Yuengling, a cousin of brewery owner Dick Yuengling and greatgrandson of the man who started the original ice cream company 94 years ago. “We are really popular for not having been on the market for 30 years.” Made by a small dairy in Tamaqua, Pa., Yuengling’s is available in 10 flavors, including black and tan (Belgian chocolate and salted caramel), an homage to the ice cream’s brewery roots. The brewery side of the family, in fact, had no problem with a relaunch of the ice cream brand, so long as the frozen treat met expectations. They gave their blessing after trying samples of chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip. “Needless to say, these received a thumb’s up from all of us!” Jennifer Yuengling, the eldest daughter of Dick Yuengling and a member of the brewery family’s sixth generation, said via email. The original Yuengling’s dairy was spun off into a separate company after Prohibition ended, and continued selling ice cream and other dairy products for the next half-century. David Yuengling’s father closed the business in 1985 because neither of his sons was interested in taking over, and Yuengling spent the next three decades in the computer industry. A few years ago, a family friend approached him about rebooting Yuengling’s Ice Cream. Yuengling, 51, was ready for a career change, but wanted to make sure there’d be room for another brand in the $6.8 billion take-home ice cream market. He realized the Yuengling name would probably get his product an initial lick — but to scoop the competition, it had to be good. “What is it that’s going to keep us going? What are people going to like about this to keep them buying it?” Yuengling said he asked himself. “It’s a tough nut to crack, and it’s not an easy business.” Yuengling said his ice cream is made without artificial ingredients, a higher percentage of butterfat and less air. The ice cream is marketed as premium, occupying a space between the mass-market brands and a superpremium label like Haagen-Dazs. Branding expert Rob Frankel, author of “The Revenge of Brand X,” said defunct but well-regarded brands can do well when they’re resurrected. “In Yuengling’s case, there’s a lot of really great, rich history. The fact that it was an ice cream born of Prohibition has a neat story to it. It’s almost like it was bootlegger ice cream,” he said. “As opposed to ‘Bob’s New Ice Cream’ that has to go through all of these trials and tribulations, you are revitalizing a brand that has a history and there’s a value to it.” Beer-flavored ice cream, alas, isn’t in the cards. And while there’s been talk of floats made from Yuengling beer and Yuengling’s ice cream, you won’t find David Yuengling partaking. “I’m certainly not gonna try it,” Yuengling, a direct descendant of the brewery’s founder, said with a laugh. “I just can’t see beer and ice cream together.” If You Go… STREAMSONG: www.streamsongresort.com in Bowling Green, Fla., is about 85 miles from Orlando and 50 miles from Tam, Fla. Resort From Page C2 The golf course gurus were initially skeptical about even coming to look at the property, said Mack. “They expected central Florida to be relatively flat,” he said. But once they arrived and saw how nature had overtaken the dunes with natural grasses and scrub, and saw how the Florida sunlight shimmered off the rugged landscape, the trio signed on. The rest became golfing history. Coore and Crenshaw’s team built one course (the “Red” course) and Doak built another (the “Blue” course). They still have the “Red” and “Blue” names, after the pen colors the designers used to make initial drawings. Both courses are considered “minimalist” golf, where players generally walk while playing (although carts are available). Rates are $180 for walkers and $210 for a golf cart with a forecaddie during the winter season. Caddies are also available and they work for tips; $80-$100 plus gratuity per group is suggested. Rental carts and clubs are extra, and the resort discounts both golf and hotel rates in the summer season. Tom Parke, Streamsong’s director of marketing, said that the courses are not your “stereotypical” Florida golf course, with paved paths for carts. The Streamsong courses are more similar to European-style golf, featuring many elevation changes, wild grasses and bunkers — and within months of opening garnered several awards. Golfweek magazine named it the best new golf course in 2012 and in 2013, the magazine listed both courses on the top 40 public courses in the world. There are 130 caddies during the high season, a clubhouse that serves lunch and drinks near the golf course, and 12 rooms for those that want to wake up each morning on the course. “Those are for pure golfers who literally want to be at the course’s edge,” said Parke. Players don’t have to stay at the resort to use the course; Parke said that some visitors come from the Tampa and Sarasota areas just for the day. And while Streamsong is a golf-heavy resort and conference center (think high-level executives meeting in conference rooms, then hitting the links in the afternoon) there is more to the resort. The hotel is something out of South Beach, with its concrete-and-wood exterior — except that it overlooks a beautiful and unusual Florida landscape. There are four restaurants on the property AP Photo | Alfonso Architects-Streamsong, Al Hurley This 2013 image provided by Streamsong shows golf courses at the new Streamsong Resort. (three in the main hotel and one in the golf clubhouse). Visitors can go fishing in one of the many lakes, shoot sporting clays or lounge by the pool. There are fire pits for the slightly chilly winter evenings and a rooftop bar. Eventually, some may go to the resort just for the spa, which has a grotto-like feel with marble, concrete and diffused natural light. It offers six thermal pools, a steam room, a sauna and treatment rooms, along with a more traditional beauty salon. Hotel rooms are equally as modern and interest- ing, and they start at $359 a night for a weekend stay (pricer, 2 bedroom suites are $799 a night). They all offer sofas, Keurig coffee makers, refrigerators, large bathrooms and two-sided TVs — one person can watch from the bed, while the other can watch some- thing different from the sofa. All have a view of the land, whether it’s the lakes or the golf course and its dunes. Looking out from a room, or the rooftop lounge, a visitor might just forget they are in Florida. Stereotypes From Page C2 Over the same period, perceptions of manhood and masculinity also have evolved. Surveys show that husbands are handling far more housework and child-care than they used to, though still less than their wives. Soccer icon David Beckham proved that a male sports star with a celebrity wife could embrace nail polish and flamboyant fashion without losing his fans. “The women’s movement showed that women didn’t want to be restricted by their gender role, and it’s opened things up for men to not be restricted as well — they can be stay-at-home dads, they can be nurses,” said Bonnie Grabenhofer, a vice president of the National Organization for Women, though from her perspective the pace of change has been “agonizingly slow.” Fatherhood remains a key element in the discussion of mascu- linity, and there seems to be broad support for encouraging fathers to be more engaged in child-rearing than they were in the past. As evidence, Christopher Brown, president of the National Fatherhood Initiative, notes that the military is investing more energy these days in supporting soldiers’ roles as parents. “Fathers are really embracing that broader role,” said Brown. “It’s become accepted that they can share more of the work, and more of the joy.” Ask Tom Burns of Ferndale, Mich. He chose his current job with a Detroit-area publishing company because it offered flexible working hours that give him more time with his daughter, who’s in second grade. “I could have taken a better paying job with less flexibility … but I can’t imagine how I would function,” said Burns, 36. “I use the time piecemeal to make sure I can attend concerts, do class func- tions. It was important to have a career that allowed me that work/ home balance.” Among the growing (but still small) cohort of stay-at-home dads is Ben Martin of Brookline, Mass., husband of a physician. “My wife, Wendy, brings home the bacon, I cook it, and our two kids (ages 9 and 7) would eat it, except our 7 year old is too picky to eat bacon,” Martin wrote recently on his blog. In a telephone interview, Martin, 35, said his goal “is to be as good a husband and father as I can be.” “I’m going to do what’s practical, what’s right for my family,” he said. “I like to think of that as a trait that a lot of men would appreciate.” Still, Martin says he knows few other stay-home dads. “I get curious looks sometimes when I drop the kids off at school,” he said. “It’s a little isolating at times.” James O’Neil, the UConn pro- fessor, would like to see an expansion of psychological support for men wrestling with changing expectations. “There’s denial about men having problems related to gender roles,” he said. “We need to break through that.” Gays as well as heterosexuals have played a role in the changing concepts of masculinity. Certainly, Michael Sam — the all-American defensive end who this week told the rest of the country what his University of Missouri coaches and teammates already knew, that he was gay — is already helping break down stereotypes about gay men.. But there were many examples before him, including Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis and NFL players such as Jerry Smith and David Kopay who came out after they retired. Louganis, while still in the closet, impressed the world with his fortitude at the 1988 Seoul Olympics by winning the gold medal despite suffering a concussion in a preliminary round. “When it comes to gay men, the script is being rewritten,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, a leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy organization. “It’s a wonderful thing happening as the definition of manhood evolves, and it becomes more inclusive of more types of men.” Merriam-Webster defines manhood as “the qualities (such as strength and courage) that are expected in a man.” Such qualities should be preserved, even amid all the changes, says Holly Sweet, a Boston-area psychologist and codirector of the Cambridge Center for Gender Relations. “There are so many good things about being a man — being a provider, being honorable, taking care of others, taking responsibility, being fair,” she said. “It’s not about picking on gays or dissing women.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
