They will ask for the customer’s Social Security number and bank account number, stating that the second benefit must be deposited in their bank account. GMCA officials said people should never give out this information. They say no one should ever ask for your bank account number unless you know who is asking. There are no additional funds to assist a second time. Sandra Edwards, the emergency services director for Gallia-Meigs Community Action, said senior citizens appear to be a primary target for whomever is operating the scam. She added that the agency can still assist eligible customers through the Emergency HEAP program, which continues through March 31. “We make appointments every Friday (except holidays) starting at 8 a.m. Residents may call the Cheshire office at (740) 367-7341 or (740) 9926629; or walk-in to book an appointment. However, an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off,” Edwards said. Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas, and up to $450 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750. Clients heating with wood or coal will be assisted up to $350 also. Edwards said if the CAA pledge will not pay what the client owes their utility company, they must pay the difference. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The income guidelines for both Regular and Emergency HEAP programs are the same. However, Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. A copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. Applicants must also provide a birth certificate for the primary applicant, Social Security cards for all household members and proof of student ID or report card if over 18 and living in the household of the applicant. Applicants will be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 175% calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a 1 person household is $20,108, 2 persons $27,143, 3 persons $34,178, 4 persons $41,213, 5 persons $48,248, and 6 persons $55,283, 7 persons $62,318, 8 persons $69,353. Households with more than eight members should add an additional $7,035 per member to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at all three offices — Gallia C.A.A. Office, 859 3rd Ave., Gallipolis; Central Office, 8010 N. SR 7, Cheshire; or the Meigs C.A.A. Office at 369 Powell St., Middleport. Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. and from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Gallia visitor’s bureau plans tourism expo Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — The sixth annual Southeast Ohio Tourism Expo will be March 1.

Online voting begins in Zumba — not for a fee, but food ‘Cutest Pets Contest’ Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Using the Zumba nethod of exercising attracts a crowd every Tuesday at the Mulberry Community Center. By Charlene Hoeflich OVP Staff GDTnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — If you want to go where the action is, visit the Mulberry Community Center where Zumba classes are under way every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. There you’ll find an auditorium full of gals and guys of every age moving to the music as instructors on a stage lead in routines geared to, among other things, sculpting better bodies. But not only are the participants benefiting from the exercise program, but so are families who find their food dollars just won’t stretch from the first to the last of the month. The sessions of Zumba come at a price, not a fee, but a gift of food for the Meigs Cooperative Parish which distributes bags of groceries to disadvantaged Meigs County families. The instructors, Paulette Harrison, Jeanie Owen and Devon Soulsby, donate their time to the cause. Each month they consult with the Parish, determine a food item that is short in supply on the pantry shelves, and suggest contributions of that. To attend Zumba classes, its not a fee you pay, it’s a food contribution you make. February is peanut butter month.

To obtain CoC accreditation, a cancer program must meet 34 CoC quality care standards, be evaluated every three years through a survey process, and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care. See HOLZER | 3 New program makes recycling easy WELLSTON — Residents in Gallia, Jackson, Meigs and Vinton counties recycled more than 330,000 pounds in the first month of its new drop-off recycling program. The new recycling program is provided through a partnership between Rumpke and the Gallia-JacksonVinton-Meigs Solid Waste Management District. It began last month with 30 sites and 47 containers placed throughout the four counties. “Partnering with Rumpke allows us to offer easy and convenient recycling to residents,” GJMV SWMD Executive Director Terri Marchi said. “It is a solution for increasing recycling.” In Rumpke’s program, residents bring mixed recyclables to a recycling site of their choice, and combine all acceptable items in Rumpke’s container — no separation required. Advanced equipment and technology are used to sort the items by type at Rumpke’s Columbus Recycling Facility. The recycled material is used to create a variety of new products. “We are proud to partner with the district so residents can recycle more and trash less” Rumpke Municipal Representative Nick Rupert said. Rumpke is a family-owned business with a regional opSubmitted photo eration in Wellston.

The family will receive friends from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, at McCoy Moore Funeral Home, Vinton chapel. McCoy Moore Funeral Commission appointed to consider Sheriff suspension ATHENS COUNTY — After waiting the required 14 days, Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor has appointed a special three-judge commission to consider the suspension of Athens County Sheriff Patrick Kelly, who’s been charged with felonies relating to official conduct in office. On Feb. 4, the Ohio Attorney General filed an action at the Ohio Supreme Court to commence the suspension proceedings. Ohio Revised Code section 3.16 spells out the process for such actions and establishes that the commission must include retired judges or justices, one of whom must be of the same political party as the public official. The retired judges named to the commission are: Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge John F. Bender; Warren County Common Pleas Court Judge Neal B. Bronson; and Belmont County Common Pleas Court Judge Jennifer L. Sargus. Within 14 days, the special commission must make a preliminary determination about whether Kelly should be suspended from office. Kelly may contest the preliminary determination — if it recommends a suspension — within 14 days of being notified and appear at a commission meeting to present his case. That meeting must be held within 14 days of the notice by Kelly to contest the preliminary findings. At the conclusion of the meeting, the special commission would then issue its final determination and issue a written report. Pursuant to R.C. 3.16(C)(2), “all meetings of the special com- mission shall be closed to the public” and “the records of the special commission shall not be made available to the public for inspection or copying until the special commission issues its written report.” R.C. 3.16 most recently was used in November 2013 when a special prosecutor for the Ohio State Auditor asked the Chief Justice to begin suspension proceedings against Fairfield County Clerk of Courts Deborah K. Smalley, who was indicted on felony charges of misspending public money for political purposes. In that case, Chief Justice O’Connor appointed a panel to consider the suspension, but Smalley resigned on December 5 before the panel issued its findings.

Veloz spoke to the class about hospice and the need for volunteers. She also discussed the different job opportunities within the program. The class has committed to providing cards each holiday during the 2013-14 school year. Pictured, from left, is Robin Schoonover (PCT instructor), Ashley Dunaway, Taylor Comer, Ray Doffemyer, Caylin Haywood, Lacey Caruthers, Shyanne Lawson, Megan Woods, Tiffany Richardson, Niki Veloz (Holzer hospice), Morgan Eversole, Kasi Sowers, Kendra Tolliver, Kaelin Tomlin, Tori Walton, Kasi Sowers, Brandon Hubbard, Gabby Duhl and Mark Wolfe. Holzer Holzer officials say the staff takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer with consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other cancer specialists, as well as HMC Community Health and Wellness program, and the American Cancer Society. This multidisciplinary partnership results in improved patient care, officials said. “We take great pride in being able to maintain this accreditation from the CoC since 1934,” said Ken Moore, executive director for the Holzer Oncology service line. “Our staff is committed to providing top quality cancer care services. Bonnie McFarland, registered nurse and the director of HMC Community Health and Wellness, is the backbone of the hospital’s monthly cancer support group, as well as liaison to the American Cancer Society. The cancer support group meets monthly at Holzer in Gallipolis. Dr. Alice Dachowski has served as the Holzer’s cancer liaison physician since 1993, spending countless hours at the national, state and local levels and applying that knowledge to Holzer Health System. She is active in Gallia County’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life and serves as chairman of the Gallia Relay for Life Survivor Committee. She has been instrumental in collaborating with the ACS to imple- ment Holzer’s monthly cancer support group, which has provided many cancer patients and survivors a connection with others in an effort to form a much needed support system. She is also an advocate for the Ohio Breast and Cervical Cancer Project and is a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. “It is a testimony to all the hard work of the cancer care committee of Holzer that we received the accreditation status for three years, which is the maximum granted by the CoC,” Dachowski said. The CoC accreditation program provides the framework for Holzer’s continued improvement of its patient care through various cancer-related programs that focus on the full spectrum of cancer care, including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, lifelong followup for recurrent disease, supportive and end-of-life care. When patients receive care at a CoC facility, they also have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling, and patient centered services including psycho-social support, a patient navigation process, and a survivorship care plan that documents the care each patient receives and seeks to improve cancer survivors’ quality of life. Like all CoC-accredited facilities, Holzer maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the Na- tional Cancer Data Base, a joint program of the CoC and American Cancer Society. This nationwide oncology outcomes database is the largest clinical disease registry in the world. Data on all types of cancer are tracked and analyzed through the NCDB and used to explore trends in cancer care. CoCaccredited cancer centers, in turn, have access to information derived from this type of data analysis, which is used to create national, regional, and state benchmark reports. These reports help CoC facilities with their quality improvement efforts. ACS estimates that more than 1.6 million cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2013. There are currently more than 1,500 CoC-accredited cancer programs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, representing 30 percent of all hospitals. CoC-accredited facilities diagnose and/or treat more than 70 percent of all newly diagnosed cancer patients. When cancer patients choose to seek care locally at a CoC-accredited cancer center, they are gaining access to comprehensive, state-of-the-art cancer care close to home. The CoC provides the public with information on the resources, services, and cancer treatment experience for each CoC-accredited cancer program through the CoC hospital locator at www.facs.org/cancerprogram/index.html. Receiving care at a CoCaccredited cancer program ensures that a patient will have access to: Compre- hensive care, including a range of state-of-the-art services and equipment; A multispecialty, team approach to coordinate the best treatment options; Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options; Access to cancer-related information, education and support; A cancer registry that collects data on type and stage cancers and treatment results and offers lifelong patient follow-up; Ongoing monitoring and improvement of care; Quality care close to home. The cancer program at the Holzer Center for Cancer Care has the benefits of more than 160 board certified and board eligible physicians providing care in more than 30 areas of expertise, and a comprehensive health care system providing the entire continuum of care services for area communities. The center is located at 170 Jackson Pike in Gallipolis. The program is affiliated with the American Cancer Society, and ser- vices offered in multiple locations including a Cancer Resource Center. In addition, the center collaborates with several ACS sponsored support groups such as Reach to Recovery, Man to Man, Look Good: Feel Better, and a monthly cancer support group. All of these programs are available to help cancer patients and their loved ones deal with the daily trials they face.

The Republican Party’s worst nightmare is coming true. Obamacare is working. The news that nearly 1.2 million people signed up last month for insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchanges is highly inconvenient for GOP candidates nationwide. It looks as if the party’s two-word strategy for the fall election — bash Obamacare — will need to be revised. Wednesday’s status report on the health insurance reforms was by far the best news for Democrats and the Obama administration since the program’s incompetent launch. January was the first month when new enrollments surpassed expectations, as the balky HealthCare.gov website began functioning more or less as intended. Cumulatively, 3.3 million people had chosen insurance plans through the state and federal exchanges by the end of January. That is fewer than the administration originally hoped, but well above the predictions of critics who believed — or hoped — that the program would never succeed. The Congressional Budget Office now projects that 6 million people will have chosen plans through Obamacare when the initial enrollment period ends March 31, down from a pre-launch estimate of 7 million. Not bad at all. The numbers are even more encouraging when you look more closely. The proportion of young people — from 18 and 34 — who chose insurance plans through the exchanges increased slightly to 27 percent, compared with an average of 24 percent in previous months. This is important because premiums would have to rise if not enough young, healthy people enroll. The administration had hoped the percentage of young enrollees would reach about 40 percent. But the January figure — and the rising trend — should put to rest any notion that the whole program could go down the drain in an actuarial “death spiral.” Administration officials are convinced this won’t happen. According the January report, about 80 percent of those signing up for Obamacare are eligible for subsidies to help them pay for insurance. The administration believes, but does not yet have the data to prove, that most of the new enrollees were previously uninsured. These figures do not include the additional people who have been determined newly eligible for insurance under the federalstate Medicaid program. Overall, the program appears to be doing exactly what it was designed to do: making health insurance accessible and affordable for those who truly need it. The Affordable Care Act could be doing even more if Republican governors such as Rick Perry of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida were not doing all they could to sabotage the program. But even in states that refused to set up their own health insurance exchanges or expand Medicaid eligibility, growing numbers of the uninsured are obtaining coverage. Politically, this is terrible news for Republicans who hoped that the botched website launch and President Obama’s misleading “you can keep your insurance” pledge would be the gifts that kept on giving.

But if you’re trying to win the votes of independents, it’s more profitable to target a failed program than a successful one. Critics will doubtless try to blame Obamacare for anything bad that happens to anyone’s health insurance coverage between now and the November election. But all of this is just noise without the central narrative of a “failed program.” Attack ads against vulnerable Democratic senators, such as Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, are already trying to paint Obamacare as a character defect — the president and his supporters “lied” when they said everyone could keep their insurance. The response from Democrats should be to shift the focus to the actual program and its impact. Imperiled incumbents can point to constituents who are benefiting from the Affordable Care Act in lifechanging ways. If you assume that Affordable Care Act enrollment remains on its current trajectory, the February numbers should look even better. Polls consistently show that even if voters have mixed views about the health care reforms, most do not want to see them repealed. By the fall, the whole Obamacareis-a-disaster line of attack could sound stale and irrelevant. Republicans may even have to take the drastic step of saying what they advocate, rather than harping on what they oppose. Is there a GOP plan to cover those with pre-existing conditions? To cover the working poor? Is expanding access to health insurance really such an awful thing? Sorry, I didn’t catch what you said. By Charles Krauthammer The Washington Post WASHINGTON — In the ongoing saga of the Affordable Care Act, oddly referred to by Democrats as the law of the land even as it is amended at will by presidential fiat, we are beginning to understand the extent of its war on jobs. First, the Congressional Budget Office triples its estimate of the drop in the workforce resulting from the disincentive introduced by Obamacare’s insurance subsidies: 2 million by 2017, 2.3 million by 2021. Democratic talking points gamely defend this as a good thing because these jobs are being given up voluntarily. Nancy Pelosi spoke lyrically about how Obamacare subsidies will allow people to leave unfulfilling jobs to pursue their passions: “Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.” Nothing so lyrical has been written about work since Marx (in “The German Ideology”) described a communist society that “makes it possible for me to … hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner.” Pelosi’s vision is equally idyllic except for one thing: The taxes of the American factory worker — grinding away dutifully at his repetitive mind-numbing job — will be subsidizing the voluntary unemployment of the artiste in search of his muse. A rather paradoxical position for the party that poses as tribune of the working man. In the reductio ad absurdum of entitlement liberalism, Jay Carney was similarly enthusiastic about this Obamacare-induced job loss. Why, Obamacare creates the “opportunity” that “allows families in America to make a decision about how they will work, and if they will work.” If they will work? Pre-Obama, people always had the right to quit work to tend full time to the study of butterflies. It’s a free country. The twist in the new liberal dispensation is that the butterfly guy is to be subsidized by the taxes of people who actually work. In the traditional opportunity society, government provides the tools — education, training and various incentives — to achieve the dignity of work and its promise of self-improvement and social mobility. In the new opportunity society, you are given the opportunity for idleness while living parasitically off 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. everyone else. Why those everyone elses should remain at their jobs — hey! I wanna dance, too! — is a puzzle Carney has yet to explain. The honest liberal reply to the CBO report is that a disincentive to work is inherent in any means-tested government benefit. It’s the unavoidable price of helping those in need because for every new dollar you earn, you lose part of your subsidy and thus keep less and less of your nominal income. That’s inevitable. And that’s why we have learned to tie welfare, for example, to a work requirement. Otherwise, beneficiaries could choose to live off the dole forever. That’s why the 1996 Gingrich-Clinton welfare reform succeeded in reducing welfare rolls by two-thirds. It is not surprising that the same Obama administration that has been weakening the work requirement for welfare is welcoming the disincentive to work inherent in Obamacare. But Obamacare’s war on jobs goes beyond voluntary idleness. The administration is now conceding, inadvertently but unmistakably, Obamacare’s other effect — involuntary job loss. On Monday, the administration unilaterally postponed and weakened the employer mandate, already suspended through 2015, for yet another year. But doesn’t this undermine the whole idea of universal health coverage? Of course it does, but Obamacare was so structured that it is crushing small business and killing jobs. It creates a major incentive for small businesses to cut back to under 50 employees to avoid the mandate. Your business becomes a 49er by either firing workers or reducing their hours to below 30 a week. Because that doesn’t count as full time, you escape both the employer mandate to buy health insurance and the fine for not doing so. With the weakest recovery since World War II, historically high chronic unemployment and a shockingly low workforce participation rate, the administration correctly fears the economic consequences of its own law — and of the political fallout for Democrats as millions more Americans lose their jobs or are involuntarily reduced to part-time status. Conservatives have been warning about this for five years. This is not rocket science. Both the voluntary and forced job losses were utterly predictable. Pelosi insisted we would have to pass the law to know what’s in it. Now we know.

College in a key Mid-South Conference matchup. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. at the Newt Oliver Arena. The “Play 4Kay” initiative, formerly known as WBCA Pink Zone, is an opportunity for a nation of coaches to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4Kay initiative has raised over $2.8 million to support women’s cancer research. The event was re-named to hon- or the memory of Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women’s basketball coach, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and passed away on January 24, 2009, after facing her third bout with the disease. In conjunction with the initiative, staff and faculty at the University of Rio Grande have been participating in a “Penny War” for the past week leading up to the game. Pennies count as one positive point each, but silver coins and paper money count AGAINST the office, which is where the competition begins. Participants can “bomb” their competitors’ jar by placing silver coins and paper money into it. For example, if an office appears to have accumulated a large number of pennies, a participant can “bomb” that jar by putting a quarter into the jar and the office’s points will decrease by 25, a dollar will reduce their points by 100, etc. The office with the most points will be the winner and will receive two free pizzas from Zack and Scotty’s. Rio Grande Elementary School is also participating in its own “Penny War”, with the winning classroom earning free admission to the game. A number of area businesses, individuals, civic organizations and athletic teams will serve as participating sponsors for the event. The list includes: * Zeta Theta Chi—who is selling handmade pink ribbons for $1 and will be decorating the gym; * Rio Grande Bookstore—which donated 20 shirts to be sold for $10 a piece at the game; * Rio Grande Women’s Basketball—which will raffle off a pink and white basketball signed by all of the RedStorm players; See PLAY | 6 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Gallia Academy sophomore Wes Jarrell (2) flies in for a shot attempt over Unioto defenders Alex True (13) and Alek Adkins (24) during the first half of Tuesday night’s D-2 sectional semifinal contest at Southeastern High School in Londonderry, Ohio. Shermans roll past Gallia Academy, 70-53 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com LONDONDERRY, Ohio — Just when things seemed at their best, they took a dramatic turn for the worst. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team battled out to a 27-26 lead with 2:31 left in the first half, but Unioto countered with a 14-0 surge over the next four minutes of play and eventually rolled to a 70-53 victory Tuesday night in a Division II sectional semifinal matchup at Larry Jordan Gymnasium on the campus of Southeastern High School in Ross County. The sixth-seeded Blue Devils (11-11) gave thirdseeded UHS (20-3) fits over the opening 16 minutes of play, as both teams battled through four ties and eight lead changes before the break. The Shermans, however, netted eight of their first 10 trifectas through three periods — which ultimately played a pivotal role in the final outcome of the contest. GAHS jumped out to an early 6-2 lead three minutes in, but the thirdseeded Sherman Tanks responded with 15-8 surge to secure a 17-14 edge after eight minutes of play. The guests battled back with a 6-4 run to close to within a point (21-20) with 5:56 left, then Reid Eastman capped a 7-5 spurt with a pair of free throws at the 2:31 mark — giving the Blue Devils what would be their final lead of the contest at 27-26. Alek Adkins followed with a basket at the 2:01 mark to give Unioto a permanent lead at 28-27, then Nick Corcoran drilled a pair of trifectas to cap an 8-0 run before halftime — allowing the Purple and Gold to take their largest lead of the half at 34-27. UHS netted 5-of-7 threepointers and went 12-of-22 overall from the field before the intermission, while the Blue Devils made 11-of-27 shot attempts overall — including a 1-of-6 effort from behind the arc. Unioto also committed nine turnovers and claimed a 13-12 edge on the glass before the break, compared to seven miscues by the guests. The Sherman Tanks opened the third canto with a 6-0 run over 90 seconds, extending the lead out to 40-27. Jacob Streiter ended a 4:17 scoreless drought for GAHS with a basket at the 6:13 mark, allowing the guests to close back to within 11 points. A Seth Atkins three at the 4:19 mark again allowed Gallia Academy to pull to within 11 points at 43-32, but the Blue Devils were never closer the rest of the way. Corcoran and Nick Overly combined to hit three trifectas during an 11-8 spurt over the final four minutes, allowing Unioto to secure a 54-40 advantage headed into the finale. The Shermans started the fourth with a 9-2 run to claim their largest lead of the game at 63-42 with 4:29 left. The Blue Devils closed regulation with an 11-7 spurt and never came closer than 66-51 with 2:49 remaining. The outcome marks the fifth straight postseason that GAHS has failed to win a sectional game. The Blue and White last won in the postseason on Feb. 25, 2009, after claiming a 4843 overtime decision over New Lexington in a D-2 sectional semifinal.

Registration began on February 1. day afternoon. “I’m not used to being in a room by myself, unless I’m in the doghouse. Been there a few times.” And he will be again once the games begin and one of his moves backfires. Ask Baker about that one. Baker got fired after leading the Reds to the playoffs for the third time in four years. They lost to Pittsburgh in the wild card game, the third time they were knocked out in the opening round. The postseason fizzle cost Baker his job and gave Price the chance to manage a team with plenty of talent to contend. He knows the team will be judged not on whether it reaches the playoffs, but whether it wins when it gets there. Just like the Bengals, who have lost their opening Play From Page 5 From Page 5 As a team Meigs had 41 rebounds, led by Jones with 13 and English with eight. Lilly and Ty Phelps each added five rebounds for Meigs. The Marauders had nine assists, led by Phelps with three. MHS committed 22 turnovers in the game, 14 of which came in the second period. Evan French hit six three-pointers and led Warren with 26 points, while Michael Hall had 15. Reece Patton added 12 points for the Warriors, followed by Blake Kidder with seven, Kyler Dennis with four and Andrew Drayer with three. Seth Hall, Aaron Mazurkiewicz and Marshal Church each marked two points to round out the Blue and White total. Warren shot 28-of-73 (38.4 percent) from the field, 7-of-23 (30.4 percent) from three and 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from the free throw line. Drayer led WHS with 13 of the team’s 46 rebounds, followed by French with eight boards. Warren had 10 turnovers, while Hall and Andrew Henthorn each had four of the team’s 15 assists. The Warriors will advance to the sectional finale where they will face Athens in a rematch of last season’s regional semifinal. Warren will be looking for its seventh consecutive sectional crown, while the Bulldogs will look for its third in a row.

The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team picked up its fourth victory of the season over visiting Parkersburg Christian Tuesday night following a 56-39 non-conference decision in the regular season finale for OVCS in Gallia County. The Lady Defenders (11-13) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts stormed out to a 14-4 lead after eight minutes of play and never looked back. OVCS followed with a 14-7 second quarter surge, which allowed the Blue and Gold to secure a comfortable 28-11 cushion headed into the intermission. The Lady Knights ultimately never came closer the rest of the way, as both teams scored 28 points apiece down the stretch. OVCS made a 15-13 third quarter run to take a 43-24 lead into the finale, then the guests made a 15-13 run in the fourth to wrap up the 17-point outcome. Ohio Valley Christian thrice defeated PCA on its home floor this year, which included a pair of 49-39 and 54-35 wins at the 2013 Parkersburg Christian Tournament in December. The Lady Defenders also earned a 48-37 victory over the Lady Knights back on Jan. 27 in Parkersburg. Emily Carman led OVCS with a game-high 25 points, 18 of which came in the second half. Sarah Schoonover was next with 11 points, while Rachel Sargent chipped in eight markers to the winning cause. Bekah Sargent contributed six points and a team-high nine rebounds, while Teah Elliott and Cassandra Hutchinson rounded out the respective scoring with four and two markers. The hosts were 14-of-24 at the free throw line for 58 percent. Faith Dahn paced PCA with 11 points, followed by Emily Thomas with seven points and Angel Dahn with six markers. The guests were 5-of-8 at the charity stripe for 63 percent. OVCS returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it faces New Hope Christian in Circleville for an OCSAA Southeast Regional championship.

Brian Cassella | Chicago Tribune | MCT photo Marauders By Bryan Walters Manning never told anyone the significance of his favorite word. No one could figure it out — as much a mystery to fans as what a baseball manager says to his pitcher during a trip to the mound. Or a basketball coach in the huddle drawing up the final play. But fans sure heard Pattie and Bowyer last season in the Chase-setting race at Richmond when one suspicious command helped spark scandal. In-car audio framed the situation as Bowyer’s crew goading him into spinning his car to bring out the yellow in an effort to prevent Ryan Newman from winning the race. “Thirty-nine is going to win the race,” Bowyer was told over his radio. “Is your arm starting to hurt?” Pattie asked. After a pause, Pattie said, “I bet it’s hot in there. Itch it.” Bowyer’s car then spun. Pattie was placed on probation, one of many penalties levied against Michael Waltrip Racing for trying to manipulate the outcome of the race. Lesson learned? Perhaps, but with the Daytona 500 looming on Sunday, drivers, crew chiefs and spotters know everything is within earshot. NASCAR even banned teams from using digital radios not accessible to the public in the Richmond aftermath. Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto, left, talks with pitching coach Bryan Price and catcher Ramon Hernandez, right, in the fifth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Ill., on Saturday, July 3, 2010. playoff game each of the last three seasons, the Reds aren’t going to get a final grade until well after the regular season has ended. Price isn’t going to dwell on it with his players. “For me, the references Lady Defenders top PCA, 56-39 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Brian Pattie knows grandma is always listening. Pattie has made a name for himself as the crew chief for Clint Bowyer, which means his tips, jokes or code words are broadcast not only to his driver, but to any NASCAR fan with a scanner. Pattie’s 95-year-old grandmother is tuned in, one of the scores of fans who enjoy the behind-the-scenes listen not found in most other sports. “We talk all the time and she’ll say, ‘I heard you tell Clint do this or that,’” Pattie said. “It makes me laugh. It makes you realize that what you say is broadcast to millions of people.” In NASCAR, eavesdropping on the action is as much a part of the race as the command to start the engines — and biting tongues is rarely an option. “I don’t know if you lose the fact that you forget about it or you just don’t care,” Bowyer said. Imagine that kind of live sneak peek in other sports. Take the NFL, for example, where Denver’s Peyton Manning barked “Omaha!” into a national catchphrase. By one count, Manning used his word of the day 44 times before the ball was snapped during one playoff game. What exactly did it mean? Reds’ Bryan Price settles into manager’s office GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Bryan Price sat down in the cushy chair. In front of him was a desk. Behind him, two lockers of his very own. The firsttime Cincinnati Reds manager felt a little out of place in his own office. Time to start getting used to it. The Reds open spring training on Friday when pitchers and catchers report and have their first workout. Price will be front-and-center, a new role for the former pitching coach who took over when Dusty Baker was fired after another playoff disappointment. “I told the guys in our (staff) meeting, ‘You better make sure you come in here and keep me company,’” Price said on Thurs- Thursday, February 20, 2014 Shermans From Page 5 Gallia Academy — which reached double-digit wins in a season for the first time since the 2006-07 campaign (13-9) — hasn’t won a sectional title since the 2007-08 season. The Blue Devils connected on 22of-61 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 3-of-12 effort from behind the arc for 25 percent. The guests outrebounded UHS by a 32-29 overall margin, which included a 12-8 edge on the offensive glass. Wes Jarrell led GAHS with 17 points, a dozen of which came in the first half of play. Seth Atkins was next with 14 points, followed by Jacob Streiter with eight points and Reid Eastman with five markers. Alex White and Michael Putney respectively chipped in four and three points for the Blue Devils, while Wade Jarrell rounded out the scoring with two markers. Gallia Academy committed 14 turnovers and went 6-of-10 at the free throw line for 60 percent. The Shermans made 24-of-47 floor attempts for 51 percent, including a 9-of-14 effort from three-point range for 64 percent. The hosts committed 14 turnovers and went 13-of-20 from the charity stripe for 65 percent. Nick Corcoran paced UHS with a game-high 25 points, followed by Nick Overly with 13 points and Kyle Strange with 11 markers. Alek Adkins and Cole Cottrill also chipped in eight and six points, respectively, to the winning cause. Unioto advances to the sectional final 7 p.m. Friday night at SEHS, where they will face second-seeded Minford.

RHYMES WITH ORANGE 7 �Thursday, February 20, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Kligerman lands on roof in Daytona 500 practice DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The first full practice for the Daytona 500 ended early Wednesday after rookie Parker Kligerman’s airborne car ripped out a chunk of the grandstand fence. Kligerman’s car ended up sliding on its roof halfway down the front-stretch at Daytona International Speedway. No one was injured in the seven-car wreck, which stirred memories of last year’s last-lap crash in the second-tier Nationwide Series season opener at Daytona. Kyle Larson’s car destroyed a large section of the catch-fence, sending debris into the stands and injuring nearly 30 people. The stands were virtually empty during practice Wednesday. The garage area, meanwhile, was buzzing with teams feverishly trying to fix cars or finetune backups for Thursday’s dual qualifying races. “It happens every year,” driver Joey Logano said. “You always hope you’re the one that’s not in it or you miss it. I saw it getting kind of crazy out there and you’re kind of in the middle of it and you can’t really get out of it at that point when you’re in the middle. It was a little too late.” Logano and Matt Kenseth started the melee when they got together coming out of turn 4 during a drafting session. Trevor Bayne hit Logano, who then slammed into Paul Menard. Menard’s car shot up the track and collected Kligerman. “You don’t want to wreck in practice for sure,” Kenseth said. “Honestly, the last lap and a half, I was just trying to figure out how to get out of there and get to the pits. But when you’re stuck in the middle, you kind of got to wait until everything clears out.” Kligerman’s car lifted off the ground, landed on top of Ryan Truex’s hood then turned upsidedown before coming to a stop across the track. “You’re not learning anything racing like that in practice,” said Kligerman, one of eight rookies trying to make Sunday’s seasonopening Daytona 500. “It was the first time I’d ever flipped over. I’d never done that in a race car. I assumed it’d be rough, but it was actually soft. I saw the whole thing go down. I’m up in the fence kind of floating along. Thankfully, none of the fans got injured, I hope.” Kligerman, though, wasn’t happy with Logano and his No. 22 Ford. “The 22 was being overly aggressive. It’s a shame,” Kligerman said. “He’s supposed to be a veteran. You go up here to the Sprint Cup Series, it’s supposed to be the best of the best and a guy in a practice is racing people like it’s the end of the Daytona 500. … I don’t quite understand that one. I am pretty upset about how that all went down.” Dave Blaney also was involved in the crash. Six of the seven cars involved in the wreck — all but Kenseth — went to backup cars. Blaney doesn’t have a backup car, but was working to get one from another team. Swan Racing was the hardest hit. Not only was Kligerman’s car totaled, but teammate Cole Whitt also hammered the wall earlier in practice. Whitt’s accident caused Brian Vickers and Casey Mears to get together, and Jeff Gordon ended up with a piece of debris lodged in his hood. Swan had just one backup car, which went to Kligerman, so the team was forced to fix Whitt’s Toyota. Vickers also went to a backup car. All of the backup cars will have to start from the back of the field in Thursday’s qualifying races. The damage to the fence was severe enough that NASCAR canceled the rest of the practice session so workers could repair the small hole. Daytona officials said the fence held up as expected. Workers replaced one cable and some meshing, and no one in the stands was injured. Fifteen cars didn’t get on track during the first session. That included six-time and defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, who wrecked one Daytona car in the exhibition Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night. “Not that we were going to draft in practice before that, but we really aren’t going to draft now,” Johnson said. “We need to watch ourselves because we’re down to one good race car. We have other stuff at home, but we really don’t want to bring it down here.” Loving must help Pirates owner: ‘additions were strong’ out struggling Buckeyes offense BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Although the Pittsburgh Pirates were not major players in the free-agent and trade markets this winter, owner Bob Nutting is optimistic the team can build on last year’s success. After making the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, the Pirates lost in five games to the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Division Series. This offseason, three key players — A.J. Burnett, Marlon Byrd and Justin Morneau — left via free agency. The Pirates’ moves this winter got little fanfare. They signed Edinson Volquez for $5 million, re-signed Clint Barmes to be a utility infielder and traded for backup catcher Chris Stewart. “I think the additions were strong,” Nutting said Wednesday during a brief visit to the team’s spring training camp. “I am very enthusiastic about the team we’ll put on the field. Are we in a strong position to compete and excel in 2014? Absolutely. I’m never satisfied, but I’m very enthusiastic about where we are.” The team opened camp last week with open jobs at first base and right field. General manager Neal Huntington continues to seek an everyday first baseman and has checked in on free agent Kendrys Morales. Morales turned down a qualifying offer from the Seattle Mariners in November. That means the Pirates would have to forfeit their first-round draft pick (No. 25 overall) if they sign Morales. With an expected payroll of around $78 million so far, Nutting said the Pirates could have the financial flexibility to sign a free agent such as Morales. Nutting also did not rule out giving up the draft pick. “Certainly, nothing is off the table,” Huntington said. “But, at the same time, we need to recognize that a first-round draft pick is a meaningful source or talent for a team like the Pirates. We want to be smart and cautious.” Nutting declined to say whether Huntington and manager Clint Hurdle will get contract exten- COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A freshman who didn’t make a field goal in six consecutive games remains an important — perhaps even vital — player for No. 24 Ohio State. Marc Loving hadn’t hit a shot since Jan. 20 — going 0 for 11 — before he finally made three in the second half Saturday night at Illinois. His eight points for a struggling Ohio State attack were like a cool drink of water to a man crawling through the desert. The Buckeyes, despite winning 20 of 26 games, are still at times the gang that can’t shoot straight. “To have Marc coming in and scoring — we would gladly welcome (it),” coach Thad Matta said Tuesday on the eve of the Buckeyes’ home game against Northwestern. “Yeah, open arms, bring it on, we’ll take it.” In the first half at Illinois, the Buckeyes shot 32 percent (9 of 28) and mustered just 20 points. They trailed by three points at the break. To try to turn things around, Matta went to his bench more and, for a change, the reserves responded. They had provided just 14 points total in the previous two games but came through with 17 as the Buckeyes shot 48 percent in the second half (9 of 19) to pull out a 48-39 win. Loving, last year’s Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball out of Toledo’s St. John’s Jesuit High School, scored eight points in a 12-0 run that turned the game around. “Some of it was mental,” he said of his offensive drought. “A lot of the game is mental. So just seeing the ball go through basically gives you a mindset that, ‘It works. The ball does go through.’” He wasn’t alone. The Illinois game marked team season lows for points (48), field goals (18), field-goal attempts (47) and 3-point field goals made (3) for Ohio State (206, 7-6 Big Ten). The Buckeyes shoot as much in practice as they ever have in Matta’s 10 seasons. But they just don’t make as many in games. They are shooting just 43 percent in conference play, including 33 percent behind the arc. The coaches go through video clips to try to detect flaws in shooting motion by players. They are at a loss why the struggles have continued. Matta said Ohio State missed wide-open shots in the first half. “(They were) in and out shots, at the rim,” he said. “As we looked at it, watching our execution, it’s like, ‘Wow, I don’t know if we could get a better shot than that.’ They were right on target, but they just didn’t go in.” The Buckeyes are among the best defensive teams in the Big Ten and the nation. Guards Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott are notorious thieves of the basketball. Lenzelle Smith Jr. and Sam Thompson are also solid defensively. Amir Williams is a 6-foot-11 impediment near the rim. But as long as the Buckeyes can’t make shots at the other end, they are unlikely to make a deep run in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments. “We put up a lot of shots (in practice), even if we weren’t in a slump,” Loving said. “We feel like we put in a lot of hard work, so the reps we put in will definitely pay off in the game.” Ohio State scored 40 or more points in the first half seven times during a cream-puff pre-conference schedule. The Buckeyes haven’t topped that figure in their last 11 Big Ten games.

Both Hurdle and Huntington are signed through the end of this season with a club option for 2015. “Having talked with both of them, I don’t think that’s the first topic on anybody’s mind right now,” Nutting said. “There’s so much work to get done for this team between now and Opening Day. We’re early in spring training. It’s not a time to have that discussion.” Exactly one year ago, the Pirates gave Hurdle a one-year extension. Hurdle, Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers and Ron Roenicke of the Milwaukee Brewers are the only managers without contract guarantees beyond 2014. “I have tremendous respect and affection for both Neal and Clint,” Nutting said. “What they’ve done for the organization in good and bad times really is tremendous, and I hope they’re with the organization for a long time. My expectation is they’re going to be critically important pieces of this organization as we go forward.” Notes: RF Travis Snider took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since cutting his finger with a kitchen knife a few days ago. … LHP Francisco Liriano found out he will be the opening day pitcher when manager Clint Hurdle announced it during a team meeting. “I’m kind of shy, so it was a little embarrassing,” Liriano said. “But, at the same time, it’s a great feeling.” It is Liriano’s second season-opening assignment. In 2009, when Liriano was with the Minnesota Twins, he filled in when Scott Baker went down with an injury about 10 days before the start of the season. Economist: College football like NFL but for pay US tops Czechs 5-2, will face Canada in semifinals bid with support from the United Steelworkers. He sought to illustrate how the relationship between Northwestern and its football players was one of employer to employees. Profit numbers attest to the program being a commercial enterprise, he told the hearing, Northwestern’s football program reported a total profit of $76 million from 2003 to 2012, with revenues of $235 million and costs of $159 million, Berri testified. The numbers were adjusted for inflation for the private school. Berri conceded he didn’t know that maintenance of the Wildcats’ stadium was not included in the expense numbers. And he said he also did not know if football profits made up for losses in other, less popular school sports. Schools with revenuegenerating football teams were in the business of entertainment, Berri said. Asked who provided those services, he responded, “Players are the ones you are watching. … It is play- ers that attract the interest of the fans.” An attorney for Northwestern, Alex Barbour, pressed Berri about whether he was trying to say the school exploits its football players. “There is an economic definition of the word ‘exploitation,’” he responded. “A worker is exploited … if their economic value is greater than their wages. … By that definition, they are exploited.” The university and its attorneys have repeatedly said that Northwestern has one of the highest graduation rates for football teams in the country, with around 97 percent of players receiving degrees. Whether the economist should have been allowed to testify was a point of contention, with Barbour complaining that Berri’s analysis was irrelevant to the central issue of whether college football players are employees. A union attorney, Gary Kohlman, said it was vital to identifying the nature of Division I football today. “It has become a business … and the only way you can have a business is to have labor,” he said. The hearing officer overseeing the case, Joyce Hofstra, agreed to let Berri speak, saying the hearing was “novel” and she would err on the side of admitting evidence. Barbour had said during his opening statement that allowing a college athletes’ union to collectively bargain would be “a Rube Goldberg contraption that would not work in the real world” and would fundamentally change college sports. Berri, though, pointed to the NFL and its embrace of a union, adding that “did not cause the professional sport to collapse.” Supporters say a union would provide athletes a vehicle to lobby for financial security and improved safety, noting that players are left out of the billions generated through college athletics. They contend scholarships sometimes don’t even cover livings expenses for a full year. �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, February 20, 2014 O LYMPICS MEDALS s STANDINGS s EVENTS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014 MEDALS WINTER OLYMPIC MEDALS TABLE At Sochi, Russia Through Wednesday, Feb. 19 (75 of 98 events) Nation G S B Norway 9 4 7 Germany 8 3 4 United States 7 5 11 Russia 6 9 7 Netherlands 6 7 9 Switzerland 6 3 1 Canada 5 9 4 Belarus 5 0 1 Poland 4 0 0 France 3 2 6 China 3 2 1 Austria 2 6 1 Sweden 2 5 4 Czech Republic 2 4 2 Slovenia 2 1 4 South Korea 2 1 1 Japan 1 4 2 Finland 1 3 0 Britain 1 0 1 Slovakia 1 0 0 Italy 0 2 5 Australia 0 2 1 Latvia 0 1 2 Croatia 0 1 0 Kazakhstan 0 0 1 Ukraine 0 0 1 Tot 20 15 23 22 22 10 18 6 4 11 6 9 11 8 7 4 7 4 2 1 7 3 3 1 1 1 SCHEDULE THURSDAY NBC Noon-3 p.m. — Women’s Hockey - Gold Medal Final (LIVE IN ALL TIME ZONES); Men’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Competition 8-11:30 p.m. — Ladies’ Figure Skating - Gold Medal Final; Women’s Freestyle Skiing - Halfpipe Gold Medal Final; Men’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Gold Medal Final 1-2 a.m. — Men’s Nordic Combined - Team K-125 Large Hill Gold Medal Final 2-4:30 a.m. — Primetime Encore NBCSN 3-7 a.m. — Men’s Nordic Combined - Team K-125 Large Hill Gold Medal Final (LIVE); Women’s Curling - Bronze Medal Game (LIVE) 7-9:30 a.m. — Women’s Hockey - Bronze Medal Game (LIVE) 9:30-10 a.m. — Ladies’ Figure Skating - Gold Medal Final Preview 10 a.m.-2 p.m. — Ladies’ Figure Skating - Gold Medal Final (LIVE) 2-3 p.m. — Ladies’ Figure Skating - Gold Medal Final Postgame; Men’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Competition 3-5 p.m. — Hockey Encore 5-7 p.m. — Game of the Day: Hockey CNBC 5-8 p.m. — Women’s Curling - Gold Medal Final FRIDAY NBC 3-5 p.m. — Women’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Gold Medal Final; Women’s Biathlon 4x6km Relay Gold Medal Final 8-11 p.m. — Women’s Alpine Skiing - Slalom Gold Medal Final; Men’s Short Track - 500 Gold Medal Final; 5000 Relay Gold Medal Final; Women’s Short Track - 1000 Gold Medal Final; Men’s Speedskating - Team Pursuit Semifinals 12:30-1:30 a.m. — Women’s Speedskating Team Pursuit Quarterfinals 1:30-4:30 a.m. — Primetime Encore NBCSN 3-6:30 a.m. — Men’s Curling - Bronze Medal Game (LIVE); Women’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Competition (LIVE) 6:30-9:30 a.m. — Men’s Hockey - Semifinal (LIVE) 9:30-11:45 a.m. — Women’s Biathlon - 4x6km Relay Gold Medal Final (LIVE); Women’s Freestyle Skiing - Ski Cross Gold Medal Final 11:45 a.m.-3 p.m. — Men’s Hockey - Semifinal (LIVE) 3-5 p.m. — Hockey Encore 5-7 p.m. — Game of the Day: Hockey CNBC 5-8 p.m. — Men’s Curling - Gold Medal Final AT A G L A N C E U.S. takes silver in bobsled KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — For Canada’s Kaillie Humphries, having a minimal margin for error is apparently no problem. It’s why she’s the World Cup champion. It’s also why she’s the Olympic champion. Again. Humphries and Heather Moyse remain queens of Olympic women’s bobsledding after winning their second straight gold medal, rallying past the U.S. duo of Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams on Wednesday night at the Sochi Games. The final margin: One-tenth of a second. Meyers became the first U.S. women’s bobsledder to win multiple Olympic medals, this one added to the bronze she captured as a brakeman in Vancouver. Williams became the first U.S. woman and fifth athlete overall to win medals in different sports at both the Summer and Winter Games, her silver here added to a sprint relay gold from London in 2012 and a silver from the 100 meters in Athens in 2004. Ice hockey Finland’s 3-1 win over Russia was not an upset. The Finns had advanced to the semifinals as the 4th seed, while Russia had to win a consolation round game to advance to the final eight. Sweden continued its undefeated run, beating Slovenia 5-0 to advance to the semifinals. Finland and Sweden meet Friday for a shot at the gold medal. Cross-country Marit Bjoergen captured her fifth career Olympic gold medal when Norway won the women’s team sprint. Bjoergen opened a sizeable lead in the first half of the race, and then turned it over to teammate Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg to maintain. The Norwegian duo finished 9.09 seconds ahead of Finland, which took silver. Sweden took bronze. In the men’s race, Finland took advantage of a fall that slowed its two closest rivals in the final. Russia finished second for the silver, while Sweden’s won the bronze. Snowboarding Vic Wild grew up in White Salmon, Wash., and applied for Russian citizenship after marrying Zavarzina in 2011. He then joined the Russian snowboarding team. Nevin Galmarini of Switzerland finished second for the silver, and Zan Kosir of Slovenia won the consolation race for the bronze. In the women’s race, Patrizia Kummer cruised to victory — and Switzerland’s sixth gold medal of the games — when Japan’s Tomoka Takeuchi missed a gate midway through the second run of the finals. Curling Canada and Sweden will play for the gold medal in women’s curling after winning semifinal games that went to the final shot.
