Crago pleads guilty, receives maximum sentence
By Amber Gillenwater

agillenwater@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — The maximum
prison sentence was handed down
in Gallia County Common Pleas
Court last week against a man who
robbed a local bank late last year.
Donald David Crago, 38, was
sentenced Thursday to 36 months
in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections after he
pleaded guilty to robbing the Ohio
Valley Bank branch in the Gallipolis
Walmart last November.
“We are pleased that we were

able to negotiate a guilty plea and
ensure that the defendant received
the maximum sentence for the robbery offense,” Gallia County Assistant Prosecutor Eric Mulford said
following the sentencing hearing.
Mulford and Assistant Prosecutor Britt Wiseman each said that
under House Bill 86, which was
signed into law in Ohio in 2011, the
maximum sentence for a third-degree felony was reduced from five
years to 36 months, hence Crago’s
three-year sentence for a third-degree felony robbery charge.
Crago was identified as a sus-

pect after Gallipolis Police Department officers released surveillance footage of the suspect
at the bank counter on the evening of Nov. 21.
Officers reportedly responded to
the bank at about 6:27 p.m. Nov. 21
and learned from bank employees
that a white male, possibly in his
late 30s, wearing a hat, black jacket
and jeans, walked up to the counter
and passed a note to the bank teller
demanding money. After receiving
the cash, the suspect reportedly left
the area without incident.
Several days later, on Nov. 26,

Crago was arrested by officers with
the Huntington (W.Va.) Police Department on a warrant for the theft
of a truck that was reportedly used
in the robbery.
The truck was stolen Nov. 21
from Gallia County and was reported to the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office the following morning.
Working together, Huntington officers and deputies with the sheriff’s
office were able to identify Crago,
and a warrant for the theft of the
truck was obtained.

POMEROY — Freezing temperatures both in and out of the water
didn’t stop more than 20 people from
plunging into the Ohio River on Saturday afternoon.
A total of 24 people plunged into
the frigid river from the Pomeroy amphitheater as part of a fundraiser for
the Meigs County Dog Shelter.
Those 24 jumpers raised $5,901 for
the shelter — and with donations still
coming in, that amount is expected to
eclipse the $6,000 mark.
Event organizer and participant
Rich Wamsley said he had four goals
for the event — all of which were not
only met, but exceeded.
“My goals were personal sponsorship of $500 — I tripled that. My
goal for a total raised at the event was
$3,000 — we doubled that and the
expectation of at least eight jumpers
— we tripled that. We also wanted it
would be safe and fun for everyone —
and we accomplished that,” Wamsley
said. “There were absolutely no injuries and several people have already
contacted me wanting to know if we
are going to do it again next year. I
think everyone had a blast.
“So overall, either I set my goals
too low or it turned into a huge success.”
Wamsley expressed his gratitude
to the many sponsors and supporters
of the event, as well as to all of those
taking part to help the dogs.

POMEROY — Application information on securing
funding to address community environmental issues is
now available from the Ohio Environmental Education
Protection Agency.
Potential applicants for the grants can now view the
guidelines online and should plan to submit a letter of intent to apply by March 4, and a complete application by
March 11.
Application guidelines are now posted for the spring and
summer 2014 grant cycles. The log-on information and an
application can be completed in the OEEF grant service in
Ohio EPA’s eBusiness Center.
The letter of intent should include contact information
for the project director and a short description of the proposed project. OEEF staff will normally approve the letter
and assign a grant application number within one business
day, allowing applicants to begin entering their application
information in the OEEF grant service. Applications must
be completed and submitted by 5 p.m. March 11. The next
application cycle will have a letter of intent deadline of July
8 and an application deadline of July 15.

GALLIPOLIS — Suzanna Duncan, diabetic educator for Holzer Health System, has set high goals to
raise awareness of diabetes
and treatment measures in
the surrounding area.
“Prevention is key in improving the health of those
in our area,” she said.
“Many people in our area
are at high risk for diabetes due to family history of
the disease, dietary habits,
lack of daily physical activity and obesity. If we could
just reach those people and
help them learn how to
combat diabetes, we can
make a huge difference in
many people’s lives.”
Holzer offers diabetes
self-management classes in
Gallipolis and Jackson for
anyone who has diabetes,
or cares for someone who
has diabetes. Classes are
divided into three sessions,
each taught by specialist in
that area. Session one focuses on diabetic self-care
and management as well
as complications, taught
by the nurse diabetic educator. The second session
introduces individualized
diet plans and carbohydrate counting by a registered dietitian. Session
three is a physical activity
and pharmaceutical session, provided by a pharmacist.
“Classes are provided to
educate patients to learn
how to manage their diabetes,” Duncan said. “Risk
factors, diagnoses, signs
and symptoms, monitoring, treatments, medications, etc., are discussed
during the sessions. This
is a wonderful opportunity
for those who are diagnosed with diabetes, either
recently or who have had
it for years, to learn more

Suzanna Duncan, RN

about the disease and how
to manage it on a day-today basis.”
At Holzer in Gallipolis, a
Diabetic Support Group is
offered on the first Thursday of each month from
4-6 p.m. in the hospital’s
French 500 Room on the
first floor of the hospital.
The support group was
formed more than 10 years
ago and meets each month
to share information and
learn about related issues,
problems and concerns to
provide better health management of diabetes. Many
topics are discussed other
than diabetes, speakers are
invited to share information on heart health, kidneys, vision, stress, relaxation, depression, arthritis,
exercise, diet, wound/skin
care, and new updates in
medicine.
“This is a group that
likes to have fun and genuinely enjoys each other’s
company,” Duncan said.
“They are a great support
system to have available
for individuals who either
have diabetes or are caring
for someone with diabetes. Everyone is welcome
to our sessions. We enjoy
having new faces join our
group and the group is very
welcoming.”

MARIETTA — Washington
State Community College is
hosting a spring job fair on its

An emphasis of the job fair

Employers from across the
Mid-Ohio Valley who are looking
to fill job openings will also be

on the WSCC campus. Whether
unemployed, under employed, or
simply want a change in careers,
the fair gives an opportunity to
network with local business and
perhaps find a job which fits the
person’s skills and capabilities
For more information about

the job fair, contact Nicole Kuhn
at WSCC by phone at (740) 3748716, ext. 1880, or email her at

the Mid-Ohio Valley with the

opportunity to realize dreams,
enhance skills and broaden understanding. Whether a recent

Crago
From Page 1
The suspect was taken
into custody and transported to the Western
Regional Jail. He later
waived an extradition
hearing and was transported back to the Gallia
County Jail.
Charges of robbery and
theft were filed Nov. 26
by the Gallipolis Police
Department against Crago in Gallipolis Municipal
Court, but the charges
were later dismissed by
the state of Ohio and taken directly to a grand jury
in early December.
The indictment outlines
two charges of theft alleging that Crago stole a
2007 Chevrolet truck from
the victim on Nov. 21, a
fourth-degree felony, and
subsequently stole $3,275
from Ohio Valley Bank, a
fifth-degree felony. The indictment also outlines the
robbery charge in which
Crago threatened the use
of force during the theft of
the cash from the bank, a
felony of the third degree.
During his arraignment
hearing in December, the
defendant’s bond was set
at $20,000, 10 percent,
and he has remained in
custody throughout court
proceedings.
A proposed guilty plea
was filed in early February and, during last
week’s hearing, Crago
pleaded guilty to the
fourth-degree felony theft
charge and the robbery
charge.
He was ordered to serve
18 months in prison for
the charge of theft and 36
months for the robbery
charge, sentences that are
to be served concurrently.
He was given credit for
79 days already served,
along with further custody days awaiting transportation to a state prison.
Crago was further ordered to have no contact
with the victims.

Plunging
From Page 1
“The parking lot was full
with onlookers and supporters,” he said. “EMS had a
squad on hand for us. Commissioner Randy Smith
was there for support. Cliff
Thomas volunteered his services with his Skye Production DJ Equipment. Sheriff
Keith Wood was there showing his support, and Meigs
County Dog Warden was on
hand to meet and answer
questions.”
“I want to thank the
Pomeroy village for allowing us to do this, all of the
businesses that donated a
prize and all the people who
sponsored someone for this
event,” Wamsley said. “Onehundred percent of the money has already been turned
over to the Meigs Dog Shelter. I’ve said it before and I’ll
say it again. Meigs County
is my home for a special reason. Our community rocks.”

Tara Rose won first place
in the most amount raised
with $1,640 as of Monday
afternoon. Rose received a
flat-screen television from
the Meigs County Canine
Crew, a gift certificate from
Pizza Dan’s and a trophy.
Rose said the biggest
question she has heard
about the event was why
she would want to participate.
“The biggest question is
why? I jumped because I
feel sorry for the dogs at the
shelter. I figured if I could
help by plunging, then why
not?” Rose said. “A few
minutes of being wet and
cold was worth all the donations I collected. I want
to thank all of the sponsors
for the event. I had sponsors from Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Texas, Arizona
and California. Also everyone has asked if it was cold
— yes, it was. And several

people have asked if I would
be doing it again. Sure, just
not anytime soon.”
The Meigs County Bikers
received the trophy for the
most-listed sponsors. Several others won prizes that
were donated by other local
businesses. Becky Aker received a gift certificate from
Pizza Dans for the best costume. Aker was dressed as a
penquin with a tu-tu. Colten
Walters received recognition for the best plunge.
Jeremy Shockey also accepted the challenge set
forth by Pam Patterson of
Pizza Dan’s. Patterson said
she would donate $100 to
the shelter for a person who
was not planning to jump
but would participate in the
plunge. Shockey was the first
to accept that challenge.
Commissioner
Randy
Smith, who was in attendance for the event,
expressed is gratitude to
Wamsley and his family for

organizing the event and
their continued support of
the shelter.
“I also want to thank those
who were crazy enough to
jump, along with the Columbia Township EMS and Dog
Warden Karen Heater for
being here today in support
of the dog shelter,” he said.
Smith noted the partnerships and collaborative efforts of many agencies —
including the Meigs County
Humane Society and Meigs
County Dog Shelter —
along with other officials,
businesses and individuals
in working to benefit not
only the dog shelter, but
Meigs County as a whole.
“It takes everyone’s help
to continue to make things
better,” he said. “Today
shows that we have a community willing to get together and support a worthwhile
cause.”
Heater was also on hand
for the event to speak with

members of the public and
show support for the event.
Heater commented via
Facebook following the
event, “I absolutely cannot
say thank you [the community] enough!!! Our community is absolutely the best!
Knowing that there is this
kind of support in our community thrills me! Thank
you Rich Wamsley and Carrie Wamsley for your hard
work and planning for this
event. Thank you to all the
awesome sponsors and participants — this would not
be possible without you.
Thank you from all of the
shelter dogs — we are their
voices and this shows me
that our community loves
them as much as I do!!!!
Thank you Randy Smith for
always being on board with
all of our crazy shelter ideas!
I am so grateful for everything today — the people of
our community do ROCK!
It has been a GREAT day!”

The application guidelines are
written to align education projects
with Ohio EPA’s regulatory priorities and environmental issues
of current concern. During 2014,
the OEEF has four targeted areas
of focus: Projects that demonstrate
and encourage the use of innovative storm water management
practices;

Projects that demonstrate and
encourage the reduction of air
emissions, including, but not limited to, promotion of alternative
modes of transportation;
Projects that encourage and
explain the importance of habitat
restoration efforts to increase biodiversity and improve air and water
quality; and
Targeted efforts to encourage
nutrient management practices, in-

cluding, but not limited to, awareness campaigns to reduce nutrient
loadings to rivers and streams from
urban and rural areas.
Ohio EPA encourages prospective applicants to contact the
OEEF staff at (614) 644-2873 or
email oeef@epa.ohio.gov to discuss project ideas and request staff
review of draft proposals before the
submittal deadline.
The Ohio Environmental Protec-

tion Agency was created in 1972 to
consolidate efforts to protect and
improve air quality, water quality
and waste management in Ohio.
Since then, air pollutants dropped
by as much as 90 percent; large rivers meeting standards improved
from 21 percent to 89 percent; and
hundreds of polluting, open dumps
were replaced with engineered
landfills and an increased emphasis
on waste reduction and recycling.

In Jackson, Duncan is working to grow a new support
group for people who have Type 1 diabetes.
“Our initial meeting was in August, and we are working
steadily to creating a support group of individuals for the
Jackson area.”
The group is forming to help educate and foster bonds
of those affected with Type 1 diabetes and their families,
schools and the communities in which they live. These
meetings are both informative and fun. Designed to involve children, there is always an activity and snacks provided by the group.
“We are driven to raise awareness and education for our
communities through activities and events,” Duncan said.
The new group meets from 6-7:30 p.m. on the fourth
Tuesday of the month in the Community Education Room
at Holzer Medical Center in Jackson.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 22.5 million children and adults in the U.S. — or
8.3 percent of the population — have diabetes. Of that figure, 18.8 million are diagnosed, and 7 million have diabetes but have not been diagnosed. Beyond that, 79 million
people have screening results that show they are pre-diabetic. The total cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. is
$245 billion. Average medical expenditures among people
with diagnosed diabetes were 2.3 times higher than what
expenditures would be in the absence of diabetes.
All of the classes or support groups mentioned are open
to the public and all are welcomed to attend. For more
information or to register, call Duncan at the Holzer Diabetic Education Department at (740) 446-5971.

Lethal legacy of US Humans are too human to
foreign intervention trust with nuclear weapons
By Sheldon Richman
Americans seem to believe that once the U.S.
military exits a foreign
country, its moral accountability ends. But the deadly
consequences — and culpability — continue long
after the last soldier leaves.
Take Iraq, which the U.S.
military left at the end of
2011 (though not before
President Obama pleaded
with the Iraqi government
to let some American
forces remain). Violence
is flaring in Iraq, as Sunni
Muslims, fed up with the
oppressive, corrupt, U.S.installed and Iran-leaning
Shi’a government, have
mounted new resistance.
Not our responsibility, most Americans would
think. The U.S. troops are
long gone, so “our hands”
are clean. Not so fast, says
University of San Francisco Middle East scholar
Stephen Zunes.
“The tragic upsurge of
violence in Iraq in recent
months, including the temporary takeover of sections
of two major Iraqi cities by
al-Qaida affiliates,” Zunes
writes, “is a direct consequence of the repression
of peaceful dissent by the
U.S.-backed government in
Baghdad and, ultimately,
of the 2003 U.S. invasion
and occupation.”
He goes on.
The U.S.-backed Iraqi regime is dominated by sectarian Shi’a Muslim parties
that have discriminated
against the Sunni Muslim
minority. The combination of government repression and armed insurgency
resulted in the deaths of
nearly 8,000 civilians last
year alone.
But can the United
State really be responsible? Wasn’t Iraq a terrible
place before the 2003 U.S.
invasion, devastation and
occupation? Iraq was certainly ruled by a bad man,

Saddam Hussein, who repressed the majority Shi’a,
but also mistreated Sunnis.
Yet Iraq was not plagued
by sectarian violence before the U.S. military arrived.
“Until the 2003 U.S.
invasion and occupation,
Iraq had maintained a
longstanding history of
secularism and a strong
national identity among
its Arab population despite
sectarian
differences,”
Zunes writes.
Not only did the U.S.
invasion and occupation
fail to bring a functional
democracy to Iraq, neither
U.S. forces nor the successive U.S.-backed Iraqi
governments have been
able to provide the Iraqi
people with basic security.
This has led many ordinary
citizens to turn to armed
sectarian militia[s] for protection.
Zunes notes that “much
of Iraq’s current divisions
can be traced to the decision of U.S. occupation
authorities
immediately
following the conquest to
abolish the Iraqi army and
purge the government bureaucracy — both bastions
of secularism and national
identity — thereby creating a vacuum that was
soon filled by sectarian
parties and militias.”
So, once again, arrogant
American
policymakers
lumbered into a foreign
country thinking they
could remake it in their image — apparently without
knowing anything about
the cultural or social context. This is hardly the first
time, which is why Eugene
Burdick and William Lederer’s 1958 novel, “The
Ugly American,” still packs
so much power.
Horrific as the Iraq story
is, consider what’s happening today in Laos, in
southeast Asia. The U.S.
military bombed Laos
from 1964 to 1973, dur-

ing its war on Vietnam, to
disrupt the Ho Chi Minh
trail, the route for military
personnel and equipment
from North Vietnam to
South Vietnam, which ran
through Laos and Cambodia. According to the website Legacies of War, “the
U.S. dropped over 2 million tons of ordnance over
Laos in 580,000 bombing
missions, the equivalent of
one planeload every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9
years.”
That would have been
bad enough, but the U.S.
government dropped cluster bombs, which are made
up of many so-called bomblets, about 30 percent of
which did not explode immediately:
At least 270 million cluster bomblets were dropped
as part of the bombing
campaign; approximately
80 million failed to detonate.
Data from a survey completed in Laos in 2009
indicate that UXO [unexploded ordnance], including cluster bombs, have
killed or maimed as many
as 50,000 civilians in Laos
since 1964 (and 20,000
since 1973, after the war
ended). Over the past two
years there have been over
one hundred new casualties each year. About 60
percent of accidents result
in death, and 40 percent
of the victims are children.
Boys are particularly at
risk.
Thus, 40 years after
America’s war of aggression against the people of
Southeast Asia, American
munitions continue to kill
people.
Remember this the next
time you hear antiwar advocates smeared as isolationists and American foreign intervention lauded as
a blessing to mankind.

By Winslow Myers
There was a major story in Time magazine last week that military personnel
were cheating on competency tests relating to the command and control of American nuclear missiles.
This was one more confirmation of what
we already know in our hearts but prefer not
to examine too closely: humans are too human, too small, too fallible, to be in charge
of the unfathomable destructive power of
nuclear weapons.
Activists, frustrated by a Congress in the
pocket of military-industrial corporations,
have rightly shifted their focus to building
local coalitions that emphasize bottom-up
renewal. The peace movement is still hard
at work, but overwhelmed by the size of the
powers arrayed against it.
Maybe it’s the top military brass of the
nuclear nations who ought to be leading the
charge toward reciprocal disarmament, because their political masters have laid upon
them an impossible task: to make zero mistakes when interpreting the behavior of other
nations, to keep these weapons and the people who handle them in a state of hair-trigger
readiness without tipping over the edge into
accidents, and to avoid nuclear winter should,
God forbid, the weapons be used.
A tall order indeed, because our experience with technologically complex systems
designed not to fail is that sometimes they
all fail — not a Rumsfeldian unknown unknown. Just as the occasional crash of a passenger plane or a space shuttle has proven
inevitable, or a Chernobyl or Fukushima or
Three Mile Island meltdown is unlikely but
nevertheless has also proven inescapable, so
too it is inevitable that, unless we change
direction as a species, there will be a fatal
incident involving nuclear weapons.
Some analysts claim that we are actually
in a more risky time than during the Cold
War. As we see in the cheating scandal,
people in charge of the weapons, because
their mission has been rendered obsolete
by the change from the cold war to the
“war on terror,” are tempted by laziness
and corner-cutting.
The United States, even while a signatory to international treaties that enjoin it
to reduce its nuclear weapons and cooperate
with other states to reduce theirs, is poised
to spend untold billions, money needed
desperately for, say, transitioning to clean,
sustainable sources of energy, to renew its
nuclear weapons systems. The tail of corporate profit wags the dog of nuclear policy,
but neither the cost nor the danger of nuclear weapons appears to be a high priority for
most Americans.
Terrorism naturally gets more focus
today. Avoiding nuclear terrorism may
actually be easier to accomplish than to

Congress shall make no law

guarantee in perpetuity those impossible
conditions attached to “legitimate” statecontrolled nuclear weapons. In the case
of terrorists, the objective is to secure and
keep separate the parts and ingredients of
weapons. The vast majority of nations are
in agreement with this goal and willing to
cooperate to reach it. Meanwhile the far
greater danger may be the relentless momentum engendered by the in-place weapons systems of the nuclear club, motivating more states to want to join, resulting
in more command and control complexity,
and more probability of misinterpretation.
In his famous poem “September 1, 1939,”
W.H. Auden wrote, “We must love one another or die.” Auden came to dislike the poem
for its preachiness. In 1955, he allowed it to
be reprinted in an anthology with the line altered to “We must love one another and die.”
Though the two lines obviously have different meanings, both versions are true. It is inevitable that we will all die, whether we learn
to love each other or not. Is it also inevitable
that we will die in nuclear fire or under gray
skies of nuclear ash? Not if nuclear nations
begin to have a conversation based in the
common recognition that nuclear weapons
are not useful to planetary security.
Creative acts of love, truth-telling, and
inclusion are always open to us, as Nelson
Mandela demonstrated. When the Nazis occupied Denmark in April 1940, 17-year-old
Danish schoolboy Arne Sejr wrote his “Ten
Commandments” that were creative ways to
nonviolently slow, sabotage and stymie Nazi
goals in his country. In the dark days of 1943,
the people of Denmark, at great risk, not only
spirited 7,800 Jews into neutral Sweden to
shield them from the invading Nazis, but also
interceded on behalf of the 5 percent who
were already on their way to Theresienstadt,
with the result that 99 percent of Danish Jews
were spared the Holocaust.
The nuclear Gordian knot is in equal need
of heroes who can cut into it with the sharp
blade of truth, and spirit our species into
a new paradigm beyond our present false
sense of security. Is it possible such heroes
might emerge from within the military-industrial complex itself? We need more highranking Ellsbergs, Snowdens and Mannings,
not only to reveal secret data or expose
competency breakdown, but to also assert
that security via nukes overall is a futile project—not only for the U.S. but for all nations
who possess or want nuclear weapons.
Generals and weapons designers have
hearts and love their grandchildren like all
of us. If a few of them spoke out, the world
would owe them a priceless debt of gratitude.

W. Virginians still wary of water one month later
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — More than a month
after chemicals seeped into
West Virginia’s biggest water supply, Jeanette Maddox would rather bundle
up, drive to a shopping center parking lot and fill jugs
of water from the spigot of a
tanker truck than trust the
tap in her kitchen.
This is Maddox’s new
routine three times a week,
what she considers a necessary burden to feel safe
drinking water, cooking
with it and making coffee.
For weeks, government
officials have said the running water in nine counties is suitable for all daily
needs. But Maddox, like
many of the 300,000 residents whose water was
contaminated Jan. 9, is not
convinced.
She notes that officials
waited four to 10 days, depending on the neighborhood, before allowing people to use their water. In the
days right after Freedom
Industries leaked chemicals into the Elk River in
Charleston, officials said
the water should be used
only for flushing toilets and
fighting fires.
Residents have struggled
to track, let alone trust,
mixed messages and muddied information from
government officials and
Freedom Industries, the
company involved. Despite
public pressure, officials
have been reluctant to call
the water “safe” and have
started arguing that the
term is subjective. Instead,
they use phrases such as
“appropriate to use.”
“Well, they won’t use the
word ‘safe,’” said Maddox,
who lives with her two
daughters and two grandsons in Charleston. “But,
the water is ‘OK.’ We don’t
know that.”
Maddox is not alone, as
visible signs of doubt about
the water are everywhere.
In Charleston, eateries display signs that say,
“We’re cooking with bottled
water.” The chemical licorice smell still wafts out of
some showers, toilets and
taps in homes and businesses. The smell resurfaced in
five schools Feb. 5 and 6,
and the district temporarily shut them down. In one
case, a teacher fainted and
went to the hospital.
Hours after two of the
schools closed Feb. 5, an
official with the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention gave a broad
endorsement of the water,
saying everyone, pregnant
women included, could use
it.
Up to that point, pregnant women had received
conflicting
guidance.
Days after thousands
of people were cleared
to start drinking from
faucets, federal officials
advised that pregnant
women should consider a

different source of water.
The nine-county region
was cleared to use the water before Freedom Industries revealed that a second
chemical, stripped PPH,
was in the tank that spilled.
Crude MCHM, the first
chemical discovered in the
spill, and stripped PPH, are
used to clean coal. Little
is known about their toxicity, in the short or long
term. Neither is considered hazardous by federal
standards. Only a handful
of studies exist for crude
MCHM, and they were on
lab animals.
Today, doctors are still
advising some patients,
such as people with chronic
conditions or compromised
immune systems, to avoid
the water on a case-by-case
basis, said Kanawha County Health Officer Dr. Rahul
Gupta.
Outside water continues
to be brought in by tanker
trucks and military vehicles, under orders by Gov.
Earl Ray Tomblin’s administration. The public still
demands it, Tomblin said.
“It is impossible to predict when this will change,
if ever,” Tomblin wrote in
a Jan. 29 request for more
federal help.
Last week, Tomblin
changed his mind on inhome water testing, which
he and other officials
showed little interest in
before. The inspections are
part of a larger study Tomblin ordered that looks into
key details that officials relied upon initially to lift the
water-use ban.
Tomblin contracted Dr.
Andrew Whelton to lead
the study. The researcher,
based at the University
of South Alabama, came
to Charleston to study
the spill without outside
funding. Then he landed
a $50,000 federal grant
studying what the chemicals do to pipes in houses.
But he had been seeking
online donations for return trips to West Virginia
to monitor long-term water quality in homes.
Then Tomblin came calling and provided Whelton
$650,000 from the state.
With that money, Whelton
will sample water in some
homes and continue investigating how the chemical permeates or bonds to
pipes. Officials have maintained that the chemical
doesn’t have the right properties to stick around in
piping and resurface later.
Whelton also is studying the odor threshold and
threat of the chemical. Government experts have long
said people can smell the
licorice tinge well after the
chemical is no longer dangerous in water or vapor.
The smell enveloped the
valley for days.
Whelton’s team also is
tasking experts to investigate the CDC’s standard for

how much of the chemical
can be safely ingested in
drinking water.
Tomblin’s wide-ranging
project would need millions more dollars in federal
grants. He’s calling for that
money and, in an effort to
re-instill public confidence,
for the research team to be
able to maintain independence from government officials.
“It is time to let the political officials step aside
and let the scientists come
in and do the work we need
them to do,” Tomblin said.
In a region nicknamed
“Chemical Valley” because
of the industry’s huge footprint in greater Charleston,
even residents who have
lived here their entire lives
are concerned.

Marauders swept by Vinton County, 46-40
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

McARTHUR, Ohio — It’s not always how you start something, but
rather how you finish it.
The Meigs boys basketball team
was outscored 25-18 in the second
half Saturday night, allowing host
Vinton County to rally back for a 4640 victory in a Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division matchup in Vinton
County.
The Marauders (8-10, 4-4 TVC
Hocking) started things on a good
note, as the guests jumped out to a

12-9 advantage after eight minutes
of play. The Vikings (12-7, 8-2), however, countered with a 12-10 second
quarter spurt, allowing the hosts to
close their halftime deficit down to
22-21.
VCHS made its biggest run of the
night in the third canto, as the Vikings went on a 14-8 charge to claim
a 35-30 edge headed into the finale.
The hosts made a small 11-10 run
down the stretch to wrap up the sixpoint triumph.
Vinton County claimed a season
sweep after posting a 56-45 decision at Larry R. Morrison Gymna-

sium back on Feb. 7.
Isaiah English led MHS with a
game-high 14 points, followed by
Jordan Hutton with 13 points and
Damon Jones with nine markers.
Jaxon Meadows and Forrest Nagy
rounded out the scoring with two
points apiece.
Meigs was just 2-of-4 at the free
throw line for 50 percent, while the
hosts netted 9-of-12 charity tosses
for 75 percent.
Jordan Albright paced Vinton
County with 13 points, followed by
May Ward with 11 points and Alex
Owings with 10 markers.

By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ALBANY, Ohio — The
Ohio Valley Publishing
area had 10 grapplers qualify for the district tournament Saturday after finishing in the top-four of the
Division II and Division III
sectional wrestling championships held at Alexander High School in Athens
County.
Gallia Academy led
the way with seven of the
eight district qualifiers in
D-2, with Meigs also coming away with one district
qualifier. River Valley landed two district qualifers in
the D-3 competition.
The Blue Devils placed
fourth overall in D-2 with
148.5 points, finishing 62
points behind sectional
champion New Lexington
(210.5). Athens (195.5) and
Sheridan (160.5) respectively finished second and
third overall, while Chillicothe rounded out the top
five spots with 129 points.

GAHS had three grapplers reach the sectional
final in their respective
weight classes, but junior
Cole Tawney was the only
local wrestler to come
away with a sectional
championship. Tawney —
the 2014 Most Valuable
Wrestler of the SEOAL —
pinned Tyler Hicks of New
Lexington to capture the
126-pound crown.
Jared Stevens dropped
an 11-4 decision to Skyler St. Peter of Athens in
the 106-pound final, while
Griffon McKinniss suffered a 14-5 major decision
setback to Garrett Davis of
Marietta in the 170 championship. Both Stevens
and McKinniss advanced
to districts as the overall
runners-up.
Anthony Sipple (195)
and John Byus (220) each
advanced with third place
finishes, while Kaleb
Crisenberry (132), Ryan
Terry (160) and Justin
Reynolds (182) are also
headed to the district

meet after placing fourth.
Daylen Neece was the
lone Marauder to qualify
for districts after finishing
second in the 220-pound
weight class. Meigs was
11th out of 11 teams at
sectionals with 30 points.
Isaiah Holley just missed
the cut for GAHS after
finishing fifth in the 113
weight class, while Brandon Thompson of MHS
finished fifth overall in the
145 division.
The Division II districts
will be held Friday and Saturday at Wilmington High
School.
River Valley finished
11th out of 15 teams in
the D-3 tournament with
54.5 points. Southeastern
won the D-3 title with 198
points, while Belpre (168),
Paint Valley (153.5), Westfall (127) and Crooksville
(101.5) rounded out the
top five spots.
Senior Rondal Cornell
led the Raiders with a
runner-up effort in the
160-pound weight class.

OVCS rallies past Eagles, 57-51
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ELKVIEW, W.Va. — A 37-22
second half surge allowed the Ohio
Valley Christian boys basketball
team to rally back from a threepossession halftime deficit en route
to a 57-51 road victory over Elk Valley Christian in a non-conference
matchup in Kanawha County.
The Defenders (10-10) trailed
29-20 at the break, but the guests
rode the hot hand of T.G. Miller
down the stretch — as the senior
went 9-of-11 from the field in the
second half, sparking the 15-point

swing that ultimately resulted in a
six-point triumph.
The Eagles (12-9) jumped out
to an 18-8 advantage after eight
minutes of play, but OVCS countered with a small 12-11 second
quarter spurt to close the halftime
gap down to nine.
Miller scored 14 of the Defenders’ 15 points in the third canto,
which allowed the guests to make
a 15-11 run while trimming the
deficit down to 40-35 headed into
the finale. Ohio Valley Christian
ended regulation with a 22-11
charge to complete the comeback.

The Defenders made 22-of-48 field
goal attempts for 46 percent, including a 2-of-7 effort from behind the
three-point line for 29 percent. The
guests were also 11-of-19 at the free
throw line for 58 percent, including a
6-of-9 effort in the fourth period.
T.G. Miller scored a game-high
28 points for OVCS, with 20 of
those coming after the intermission. Miller also hit his last eight
field goal attempts and finished
the night 13-of-18 overall.
Marshall Hood was next with
12 points, followed by Elijah McDonald with eight markers — in-

cluding a pair of big trifectas in
the fourth. Evan Bowman also
chipped in seven fourth quarter
points to the winning cause, while
Danny Ballentyne rounded out the
scoring with two markers.
The Eagles made 19-of-60 shot
attempts for 32 percent, including
a 3-of-21 effort from behind the
arc for 14 percent. The hosts were
also 10-of-21 at the charity stripe
for 48 percent.
Trey Suttle led EVCS with 24
points, followed by Jordan Elkins
with 14 points and Bert French
with six markers.

Irving validates All-Star starting nod, wins MVP
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
Kyrie Irving validated the fan
vote and offered a glimpse of
how good he can be when surrounded by first-rate players.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’
point guard was selected
MVP of the NBA All-Star
game Sunday night after
scoring 31 points, racking
up 14 assists and playing
with the energy required to
rally the Eastern Conference
from an 18-point deficit in
the second half of its 163-155
victory over the West.
“It was definitely special,
just being out there with all
these great athletes,” Irving
said. “There’s so many differ-

ent MVPs out there on that
floor, and to be named MVP
amongst all those great stars
is truly an honor.”
Irving missed only three
of the 17 shots he attempted,
and all of those were from
3-point range, where he was
3 for 6.
He was at his best in the
second half, hitting 11 of 13
shots and dishing out seven
assists. Often refusing to
settle for long jumpers unless they came in rhythm, he
went hard to the basket and
finished, showing the competitive spirit often lacking
in All-Star exhibitions.
“I feel like that’s what all

the fans want to see us do
is just compete at the highest level,” Irving said. “I just
wanted to give the fans what
they wanted.”
Eastern Conference coach
Frank Vogel of the Indiana
Pacers said Irving’s performance was a reminder that
while winning is important,
players should be judged by
more than just the records of
the teams for which they play.
The Cavaliers are 20-33
at the All-Star break, 11th
in the Eastern Conference.
Still, Irving was elected by
fans to start for the East
alongside perennial All-Stars
LeBron James, Carmelo An-

thony and Dwyane Wade.
“The history of the league
is to reward the teams with
winning records and the
best players on those teams”
with All-Star selections, Vogel said. “But there’s certain
players that stand out beyond that, and Kyrie is definitely one of them. … He’s
one of the best in the world,
and he showed it tonight.”
Not bad for a 21-year-old
in his third NBA season —
even if he was the first overall pick in 2011.
When Irving was given
the trophy, he got a little advice from James, who also
was playing for the Cavs at

age 21 when he won his first
All-Star MVP award in 2006.
James and several others
reminded Irving to hold the
trophy high above his head,
so fans could see it.
Cleveland rooters watching on TV might have enjoyed that the most, offering
hope that all the losing that
has followed James’ departure for Miami may end
sooner rather than later — if
Irving can get a little more
help.
“It’s a great accomplishment, bringing this (trophy)
back to Cleveland,” Irving
said. “That’s the most important thing.”

Fog interrupts events

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Dense fog covered
mountain venues and forced the postponements
of two medal events at the Sochi Olympics on
Monday.
Indoors, American pair Meryl Davis and Charlie
White was favored for gold in figure skating’s ice
dance.
After bright sunshine brought unusually warm
temperatures last week, the heavy fog required a
one-day delay in a men’s biathlon race and the
men’s snowboardcross competition. The fog,
however, lifted in time for a women’s biathlon
race later Monday.
“This is standard for snowboarding and ski
events,” American snowboardcross rider Nate
Holland said. “Mother Nature doesn’t always
cooperate.”
On Day 11 at the Sochi Games, three other
sports were awarding medals: bobsled, freestyle
skiing and ski jumping. The U.S. also advanced to
the championship game of the women’s hockey
tournament with a 6-1 win over Sweden.

MEN’S CURLING

China beat Britain 6-5 to qualify for the Olympic semifinals in men’s curling. The loss forced
Britain into a tiebreaker against Norway on Tuesday for the final spot in the playoffs. Canada and
Sweden advanced on Sunday.

WOMEN’S CURLING

Switzerland and Britain advanced to the semifinals in women’s Olympic curling Monday, and
Canada became the first female team to complete the round-robin matches without a loss.
The Swiss beat China 10-6 to qualify in third
place behind Canada and Sweden, who reached
the playoffs Sunday. Britain lost 8-7 to Denmark
in an extra end, but a 9-6 win over Russia earlier
Monday helped the world champions claim the
other semifinal berth.

Russia, finishing 7.51 points
behind the Canadians.

US women coast past Sweden
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The
work began before the U.S.
women’s hockey team reached the
medal round, before it arrived in
Sochi, before the roster was even
selected.
Four years ago, the Americans
left the Olympics with a silver
medal. And Julie Chu was determined to be back.
“When that buzzer goes off and
it erupted in the arena and we
fell short of our goal of being the
best in the world, that hurts,” the
four-time Olympian said after the
United States beat Sweden 6-1 on
Monday to reach the gold medal
game in Sochi. “The last four
years, that’s been our goal.”
Megan Bozek and Brianna
Decker each had a goal and two

assists, and the Americans outshot
Sweden 70-9 to clinch no worse
than a silver medal. The U.S. has
medaled in every Winter Games
since women’s hockey was added
in 1998, and just once — with a
loss to Sweden in the 2006 semifinals — failed to reach the Olympic
championship game.
Canada, a three-time defending champion that has played in
every Olympic final, would have a
chance for a fourth gold in a row
with a victory over Switzerland
later Monday. Not since the inaugural tournament in Nagano have
the Americans beaten Canada,
losing in the championship game
