Middleport seeking grant for project study
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

MIDDLEPORT — A project to turn waste collected in
Middleport’s lagoon system into
a source of energy and financial
benefit for the village took another step forward at Monday
night’s Village Council meeting.
Council voted to apply for
additional grant funding to determine viability of a project to
make Middleport a regional collection and processing facility.
Meeting with Council was Dan
Miklos of the engineering firm of
Hazen and Sawyer of Cincinnati
which did the feasibility study on
the potential lagoon project last
year. That study showed that the
current lagoons are too small and
do not produce enough waste to
financially support the proposed
project. The proposal was made

that as a second stage to achieving viability, the village would
need to link with a partner who
is in the business of collecting
and processing waste.
Since Middleport is located in
a region where there is not a regional waste center, near the river, has adequate railroad and highway access, as well as acreage for
expansion, Miklos said it might
be a good location for a regional
facility. He noted that currently
the Quasar Energy Group has 14
Ohio installations where this new
renewable energy technology is in
use. Becoming a regional facility
would have the potential of not
only reducing the cost of operating Middleport’s sewer system
but of securing revenue on top
of that for the village, Miklos explained. Funding from a second
grant, if acquired, will be used to
determine project viability.

Doug Dixon proposed that the
village seek grant money for this
second phase of the proposed
project and only move forward if
it can be done at no cost to the
village. The vote was unanimous.
As pointed out by Mayor Mike
Gerlach, if a grant is acquired
and the project is determined
to be viable, and a company like
Quasar comes in to handle the
operation, then it will mean a
whole new revenue stream without any cost for the village.
During the meeting the matter
of the annual automatic increase
in water rates was discussed.
Council voted not to have the
increase take place this year by
a five to one vote. Voting for rescinding the automatic increase
this year were Dick Vaughan,
Roger Manley, Doug Dixon,
Penny Burge and Sharon Older.
Emerson Heighton voted “no”

on rescinding the increase.
During the meeting Sarah Pullins on behalf of the Big Bend
Youth Football League, raised
the issue of having the exclusive use of the football field after
the school property has been
transferred to the Meigs County
Council on Aging. About 400
seven to 12 year old children participate in the program conducted there, she reported. The term
of the current lease which the
league has with the village expires in 2016. Pullins expressed
concern that the Council on Aging will not give exclusive rights
to the League which, she said,
puts a great deal of money into
field preparation and maintenance. Pullins suggested Council
consider giving the football field
to the youth league.
Don Bitango who operates
the karate school in Middleport

complained to Council about a
back-flow device which he said
he was required to install when
he suggested he might put in
food service at his business. He
had installed the device installed
but has never started the food
service and felt he was overencouraged to proceed with the
installation.
Bitango suggested that a
citizens economic development
committee be appointed to work
with Council. Councilman Roger
Manley said Council needs to
hire someone to do that.
Linda Myers and Ronnie Miller, both of whom are active in
the Middleport Community Association, gave a report on the
non-profit organization which
is active in promoting improvements, special activities and celebrations for the village.

Collecting computer equipment
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY —The first donation
of equipment contributed for the
“Computers for Children” program
initiated last week by Iva Sisson, of
Rutland, was made Tuesday.
The Mulberry Community Center, which had a bank of computers
for students some time ago that
were no longer in use, donated
them to the project. Included were
eight towers, five scanners and
seven monitors, some of which
were too old to refurbish, but others that are being worked on by
students at Meigs High School.
Donations are being accepted
for the programs and anyone with
something to contribute is asked
to call Sisson at (740) 734-2187.
An account has been set up at
Farmers Bank to receive cash donations for the project. The money
will be used to purchase some
needed repair parts for the computers and for purchasing flash

drives so that the students can put
their homework assignments on
the flash drive, unload onto a computer at home supplied through

the program, do their work, reload
the completed material and take it
back to school the next day.
No internet connection is needed.

POMEROY — The second reading of an ordinance
which would set pay rates for the Pomeroy Village Police Department was approved during Monday’s meeting.
Pay rates would be set as follows under the ordinance, Chief of Police, $40,000 per year; Police Captain, $15.75 per hour; Police Lieutenant, $14.75 per
hour; Police Sergeant, $13.75 per hour; Police Corporal, $12.75 per hour; Police Patrolman, $12.00 per
hour; Code Enforcement Officer, $11.50 per hour; Meter Enforcement, $9.50 per hour.
Also included in the ordinance, dispatchers shall be
paid at a rate of $8.52 per hour, with the Mayor’s Court
Clerk being paid $1.00 per hour in addition to that and
the Assistant Mayor’s Court Clerk paid an additional
$.50 per hour.
Dispatchers and officers working the midnight shift
will also be paid an additional $.25 per hour.
The ordinance states that all police department employees shall be hired and promoted on a six month
probation.
According to council discussions, the rate increases
will bring Pomeroy’s wages closer to that of other villages in the region. The goal is to pay a competitive
wage in order to retain employees.
The ordinance passed by a 4-0 vote on Monday with
Vic Young abstaining from the vote. A third reading of
the ordinance is expected to take place at the March
10 meeting.
Also approved was the second reading of Ordinance
765, which provides for a pay increase for the village
solicitor and magistrate. The ordinance would increase
the pay for both positions to $600 per month. The rate
has been $500 per month for several years according to
council discussion.
Ordinance 764 with regard to the housing ordinance
and building code was approved on the third reading.
The ordinance requires that all rental properties be
inspected annually, with a $30 fee to be paid. It is the
responsibility of the land lord and tenant to set the inspection date and time with the village.

MASON — A former
Wahama High School
choir teacher accused of
using choir booster funds
for personal use has been
sentenced.
Crystal M. Hendricks,
45, was sentenced to 100
hours of community service in Mason County and
$500 in fines plus court
costs.
Hendricks recently appeared in Mason County
Circuit Court before
Judge David W. Nibert for
sentencing. Earlier this
year, she pleaded guilty to
two counts of obtaining
money by false pretenses,
which are misdemeanor
offenses.
Hendrick’s plea agreement stated at sentencing, the state would
recommend imposition
of sentence suspended
and Hendricks placed

on probation. The plea
agreement also stated
Hendricks agrees to make
restitution of $362.85.
Hendricks waived her
right to prosecution by
indictment, and as such
a two-count information,
as opposed to indictment,
was filed against her Jan.
9. Each count contained
in the information alleges
in 2008 and in 2011 that
Hendricks committed the
misdemeanor offense of
obtaining money under
false pretenses with intent to defraud the Wahama High School Choir
Boosters of less than
$1,000.
Hendricks was originally charged with one
felony count of fraudulent
schemes and released on
a $20,000 surety bond.
The Mason County Post
of the West Virginia State
Police conducted the initial investigation.

MIDDLEPORT —In a Middleport Village

there was a vote on handling employee overtime. There was no vote on the issue, although
there was a lengthy discussion on the topic of
overtime and ways it might be reduced.

From Page 1
After reading an email of need from Debbie Watson,
who works for the Meigs County Extension Office, the
group knew exactly what their 2014 community service
project was going to be and how they could be sure their
fellow Eagles at Eastern wouldn’t go hungry when not at
school. The group is finding unique ways to donate to the
Eagle Pack Program, which is designed to ensure elementary and middle school students of Eastern Local have
nutritious food on the weekends.
Each of the three school districts has a similar program
in place and can always use donations.
From 4-6 p.m. Saturday in the Meigs High School cafeteria, there will be a 4-H Kick Off. It is open to all Meigs
County youth interested in joining 4-H, along with Quality Assurance for youth taking livestock projects to the
fair.
At that time a “donation station” will be set up for each
school district. At the end of the evening, donations will
be tallied to see which district got the most food and money donated. Items that are approved to be donated are
as follows: 18 ounce jars of peanut butter, microwaveable
non-perishable meals (i.e. spaghetti, ravioli), macaroni
and cheese cups, pudding cups, breakfast bars, juice boxes, Ritz-type crackers, fruit cups, apple sauce cups, boxes
of raisins, cracker sandwiches and fruit snacks.
The name of each person who donates that evening will
be put in a drawing for a school spirit hoodie, valued at
$50 courtesy of HR Signs and T’s of Pomeroy, and a $25
prepaid Visa card, courtesy of the 4-Fun 4-H Club. The
club’s goal is not only to fill the Eastern box on that night,
but also the boxes of Southern and Meigs as well.

There’s inequality on college campuses Nuclear weapons spoilers
sentenced to long prison terms
By Lawrence S. Wittner

As the United States
begins to grapple with the
issue of growing economic
inequality, it should not ignore the widening income
gap on American college
campuses.
Some of the nation’s
poorest people work at
higher educational institutions, and many of them
are members of the faculty.
Oh, yes, there are still faculty members who receive
comfortable middle class
salaries, but most faculty
do not. These underpaid
educators are adjunct faculty, who now comprise
an estimated 74 percent of
America’s college teachers.
Despite advanced degrees,
scholarly research experience and teaching credentials, they are employed at
an average of $2,700 per
course. Even when they
manage to cobble together
enough courses to constitute a full-time teaching
load, that usually adds up
to roughly $20,000 per
year — an income that
leaves many of them and
their families officially
classified as living in poverty. Some apply for and
receive food stamps.
Adjunct faculty face
other job-related difficulties as well. Lacking employment security of any
kind, they can be hired to
teach courses the day before classes begin — or,
for that matter, not hired at
all. They often receive no
health care or other benefits, have no office space,
mailboxes, or email addresses at colleges where
they teach, and drive long
distances between their
jobs on different campuses.
As the impoverished migrant labor force of its day,
this new faculty majority
deserves its own Grapes of
Wrath.
By contrast, others on
campus are doing quite
well. According to the
Chronicle of Higher Education, 42 presidents of private colleges and universities were paid more than
$1 million each in 2011
— up from 36 the previous

year. The highest earners
were Robert Zimmer of
the University of Chicago
($3.4 million), Joseph
Aoun of Northeastern University ($3.1 million), and
Dennis Murray of Marist
College ($2.7 million). Unlike adjunct faculty, whose
income, when adjusted for
inflation, has dropped by
49 percent over the past
four decades, these campus presidents increased
their income substantially.
Zimmer’s pay doubled,
Aoun’s pay nearly tripled,
and Murray’s pay nearly
quadrupled from the previous year. The yearly compensation packages for 11
of the 42 million-dollar-ormore private college presidents nearly doubled.
Furthermore, high-level
administrative positions
often come with some very
substantial perks. At the
University of Nebraska,
top administrators are
given free memberships in
country clubs, as well as
very expensive cars, like
the Porsche driven by the
chancellor of its medical
center. At New York University, the trustees gave
president John Sexton —
whose university compensation in 2011 was $1.5
million — a $1 million loan
to help him purchase a vacation home on Fire Island.
According to a New York
Times article, Gordon Gee
— the Ohio State University president who received
university compensation
in 2011-2012 of $1.9 million — was known for “the
lavish lifestyle his job supports, including a rent-free
mansion with an elevator, a
pool and a tennis court and
flights on private jets.”
Some have argued, of
course, that top campus
administrators genuinely
deserve these kinds of incomes and lifestyles. But
faculty and others are not
so sure. At NYU, after
the faculty voted no confidence in President Sexton’s leadership, the trustees convinced him to retire
at the end of his contract,
in 2016.
At Penn State, where

was the highest-paid public university president in
the United States in 20112012 (at $2.9 million), he
was dismissed in connection with the crimes of the
former assistant football
coach who was convicted
in 2012 on 45 counts of
sexual abuse. Spanier is
expected to stand trial on
charges that he failed to
report the crimes and tried
to cover up what he knew.
On other campuses, top
administrators have been
convicted of extensive
fraud and embezzlement.
But even if one assumes
that most campus administrators do a good job, why
should there be a widening
gap between their incomes
and the incomes of those
who do the central work of
the university: the faculty?
Furthermore,
why
should there be an evergrowing number of administrators — presidents,
vice presidents, associate
vice presidents, assistant
vice presidents, provosts,
associate provosts, deans,
associate deans, assistant
deans, and a myriad of
other campus officials?
Between 1993 and 2009,
the ranks of campus administrators expanded to
230,000 — a growth of
60 percent, 10 times that
of the tenured faculty.
Not surprisingly, a recent
report by the American
Institutes for Research revealed that, in 2012, there
remained only 2.5 instructional or nonprofessional
support employees for
every administrator. As
colleges and universities
are flooded with administrative officials, is there
no longer a role for those
who do the teaching and
research?
Perhaps the time has
come to redress the balance on campus by cutting
the outlandish income and
number of administrators and providing faculty
members with the salaries
and respect they deserve.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Three anti-war
activists who easily snuck into what is
touted as one of the country’s most secure
nuclear weapons facilities were sentenced
to long terms in federal prison Tuesday,
Feb. 18.
The three were convicted last May on
felony charges of depredation of property
and sabotage for their nonviolent action
called Transform Now Plowshares at the
Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Complex in Oak
Ridge, Tenn. The convictions carried possible maximum sentences of 30 years in
prison.
Federal District Judge Amul R. Thapar
sentenced both Greg Boertje-Obed, 58, of
Duluth, and Michael Walli, 65, of Washington, D.C., to five years and two months
in prison (“62 months,” in the parlance
of the federal court) plus three years of
heavily supervised probation. Sr. Megan
Rice, 84, of New York, was sentenced to
35 months in prison plus three years of
probation.
Megan, Michael and Greg entered Y-12
in the wee hours of the morning on July
28, 2012, cutting four fences and traversing a “lethal-force-authorized” zone, arriving at the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, the country’s warehouse
of weapons-grade uranium. They poured
blood on the walls and spray painted “Woe
to an Empire of Blood” and “The Fruit of
Justice is Peace.” They also chipped a
corner of the concrete wall with a small
hammer, a symbolic act reflecting the Old
Testament prophecy of Isaiah who said,
“They shall beat their swords into plowshares.”
The judge also ordered the three to collectively pay $52,900 in restitution for
what prosecutors said was materials and
overtime costs to fix the openings in four
wire fences and paint over the slogans.
Defense attorneys for the three have indicated that the grossly exaggerated repair
costs would be challenged on appeal.
At Tuesday’s hearing, each of the nuclear resisters spoke, reminding the court of
the central purpose of their action to call
the court’s attention to the ongoing U.S.
violation of the 1970 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) at the Y-12 plant
in Oak Ridge. In testimony at hearings
before trial, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark called the production
of nuclear weapons components at Y-12
“unlawful” and the work there “a criminal
enterprise” because the NPT obliges the
U.S. government to pursue good faith negotiations for the complete elimination of
nuclear weapons.
Ignoring each of the defendant’s direct
appeals to the government’s binding legal
obligations under the NPT and the Constitution (which holds that treaties are the
“Supreme law of the land”), Judge Thapar
repeatedly accused the three of showing
“complete disrespect for law.”

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.

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.

Judge Thapar’s accusation of “lawlessness” was plainly dishonest and likely
designed for the press, especially in view
of his pre-trial orders forbidding the defendants from presenting legitimate lawbased defenses. The defense of necessity
that unlawful government actions may be
interfered with by citizens acting in the
spirit of crime prevention was also disallowed by Judge Thapar, who ruled before
trial that the question of whether nuclear
weapons production is unlawful was not
relevant to the case and would confuse
the jury. What the judge did not say was
that when juries are allowed to consider
evidence of the outlaw status of nuclear
weapons, they regularly find protesters
not guilty by reason of justification.
Assistant U.S. District Attorney Jeffery
Theodore had recommended much longer
sentences for all three: At least 92 months
for Michael; 78 months for Greg; and 70
months for Sr. Megan. But Judge Thapar
challenged the prosecutor on his claim
that the three had “harmed the national
defense.” When Mr. Theodore asserted
that the protesters “did not just monetary
harm” but much more, the judge flatly disagreed. “What is the other harm beyond
the property damage — harm to pride?
What is the real harm to the security of
the United States?” the judge asked. Mr.
Theodore merely noted the sworn testimony of a General Johnson, who said that
break-in had destroyed the “mystique” of
robust security around nuclear weapons
factories.
Speaking for himself in reply to the
judge’s characterization of the action as
“disrespectful of law,” Michael Walli, said
in part, “I’m offended by the notion that
Auschwitz had a legal right to exist. The
gas ovens, the crematoria, fences and
buildings there all had a purpose that was
not legal or just. The name of the law used
by the U.S. to protect the criminal state
terrorism going on at Y-12 is preposterous. The law codified in the Nuremberg
Principles forbids complicity in ongoing
crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and war crimes” such as the planning a preparation of mass destruction.
The statement issued by the three at the
time of their action said Y-12 was chosen
for the action because of its plans for a
multi-billion dollar H-bomb factory there
— the Uranium Processing Facility. The
sole purpose of the UPF (price tag now
$19 billion) is to produce thermonuclear
cores for gravity H-bombs and ballistic
missile warheads. Y-12 is a weapons production facility where workers today perform so-called “Life Extension Upgrades”
on the W76 warhead and potentially the
B-61 gravity H-bomb.

Ohio justices hear local drilling rules dispute
By Julie Carr Smyth
The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Ohio Supreme Court justices vigorously challenged
attorneys on Wednesday
over the power of statelevel oil and gas drilling
regulations to supersede
local zoning laws.
One
justice
asked
whether Ohio’s regulatory
scheme violates communities’ constitutional home
rule protections, while another said an inability for
cities to challenge state-issued drilling permits gives
Ohio’s natural resources
director seemingly godlike sway.
The questioning came
in a case brought by the
Akron suburb of Munroe
Falls against Beck Energy
Corp. The lawsuit is being
closely monitored by both
pro- and anti-drilling forces for its potential impact
on community efforts to
block hydraulic fracturing,
or fracking, used by the industry to capture gas or oil
from underground shale. A
court decision is expected
in a few months.
The energy company in
this case received a staterequired permit from the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources in 2011 to
drill a traditional well on
private property in Munroe
Falls. The city sued, saying
the company illegally sidestepped local ordinances
by not involving the city in
the process.
Deputy Solicitor Peter
Glenn-Applegate,
the state’s attorney, told
the court Ohio’s natural
resources director was
empowered in 2004 to
regulate drilling and that
a permit can’t be gained
without meeting established setbacks, fencing
and other siting requirements.
He and Beck’s attorney,
John Keller, argued that
state lawmakers made the
decision to centralize authority over drilling at the
state level after a period of
decades when local governments were in charge.
“That was a conscious
decision by the General
Assembly to eliminate the
dual regulation as to the
location of wells,” Keller
said.
Justice Paul Pfeifer drew

a distinction between that
process and the locating
of windmills, which goes
through a commission.
“For those who object
there’s no place to go. …
The director of natural
resources is God in this
case,” he said.
Glenn-Applegate said although Ohio citizens can’t
directly challenge drilling permits issued by the
state, they have a remedy
through the courts if they
feel the natural resources
director failed to adequately protect public health
and safety.
Munroe Falls attorney
Thomas Houlihan argued
that cities have the right to
impose zoning restrictions
as they plan their communities. He told the court
the two levels of government can and should work
together.
The law says Ohio has
sole and exclusive authority to regulate the location
of wells, which Houlihan
said is different from determining their location.
“If the state seeks to
pre-empt local zoning, it
can attempt to do so, but
it must do so with express
language,” he said.
Justice William O’Neill
questioned why Houlihan
wasn’t going further with
this legal argument to challenge Ohio’s regulatory
setup as a violation of constitutional protections of
home rule.
“If the state is given exclusive control over the
location of a building, a
structure, or a well, isn’t
zoning gone?” he asked.
Houlihan kept his arguments focused on the ability of state and local laws
to work in tandem, citing
similar shared authority in
other drilling states such
as California, Oklahoma
and Texas.
In New York, where
fracking isn’t yet legal and
many communities have
instituted
pre-emptive
bans, and in Pennsylvania,
where fracking is widespread, similar cases have
been decided in favor of
shared regulation, with
municipalities overseeing
such things as land use
and aesthetics and the
state overseeing safety and
construction.
Beck said in court filings that Ohio’s 2004 law

Ohio State remembers loss to Penn State
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It’s
one of the most memorable — or is it
forgettable? — home losses for Ohio
State in recent years.
When Penn State pulled off a 71-70
shocker in overtime Jan. 29, it ended a
string of 80 consecutive victories by the
Buckeyes on their home court against
unranked opponents. For the Nittany
Lions to do it — they came in 0-17
against Ohio State coach Thad Matta
— added to the Buckeyes’ misery.
When the teams meet again Thursday night in Happy Valley, the No.
22 Buckeyes (22-6, 9-6 Big Ten) say
they’re a different team. Having won
six of seven, including their last three,
they have a lot riding on the outcome.
“We’re not trying to fall through the
tape, we’re trying to bust through it,
if you will,” swingman Sam Thompson
said about the upcoming finish to the

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (82) is dropped
by Cleveland Browns middle linebacker D’Qwell Jackson (52) in
the first quarter for a first down as the Cleveland Browns beat
the Kansas City Chiefs 30-7, Dec. 9, 2012, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Browns release LB
D’Qwell Jackson
CLEVELAND (AP) —
For eight seasons, D’Qwell
Jackson did everything for
the Browns.
He overcame serious
injuries to play at a high
level. He led the team tackles. He became a locker
room leader, showing the
way for younger players.
And, he did it all without
complaint despite almost
constant losing and change
in Cleveland.
Jackson’s run ended
Wednesday.
The Browns released the
veteran linebacker, cutting
ties with one of their most
popular players due a $4.1
million roster bonus next
month.
The 31-year-old Jackson, who made 96 starts
in eight seasons with the
Browns, is now a free agent
and can sign with any
team. Jackson’s agents and
Cleveland’s revamped front
office tried to restructure
his contract, but couldn’t
come to terms and decided
to part ways.
“We had positive discussion with D’Qwell and his
agent over the last several
days, and we came to the
mutual agreement to go in
different directions,” said
Browns general manager
Ray Farmer, who was promoted into that role last
month and had to make a
tough decision on Jackson.
“D’Qwell is the epitome of

class, leadership and professionalism. Every day of
his NFL career, D’Qwell
has been a solid representative of the Browns and the
city of Cleveland, both between the lines on Sundays
and off the field in our area
community.
“We wish him nothing
but the best in his future
endeavors.”
Jackson overcame two
serious chest injuries earlier in his career. He missed
most of two seasons, but
recovered and was a mainstay on Cleveland’s defense
despite playing under four
head coaches and four defensive coordinators.
He signed a five-year,
$42.5 million contract extension last year through
2016. The deal, which included $19 million in guarantees and bonuses, would
have paid Jackson $3.93
million this season. He was
set to make $7.73 million
and $7 million the next two
seasons.
However, the Browns
looked at his age and increasing salary, and although they’ve got room
under the salary cap, decided to make the change. The
team wants to get younger,
stronger and faster in its
linebacking corps and Jackson no longer fit into their
plans.

Jeeps stun Southern, 65-54

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The top seed rarely gets
upset by the eight seed, but then again South Webster is not your typical underdog.
The one-seed Southern boys basketball team fell
to the eight-seeded Jeeps by a count of 65-54 Tuesday night in the sectional final at Meigs High School.
South Webster, which was a regional finalist last season, has now won five consecutive sectional titles.
“I would have liked to do more in the tournament,”
said Southern head coach Jeff Caldwell. “South Webster has a chance to go on to the district and do pretty well. If we play better, maybe we get them but we
didn’t play very well tonight.”
The Tornadoes (16-7) were able to put together a
solid opening period and led 11-to-8 through eight
minutes of play. The Jeeps (11-12) answered with
a 6-0 run to begin the second quarter and they expanded the lead to 22-16 with 3:30 to play in the half.
Southern closed the half with a 23-22 run.
South Webster connected on three trifectas en
route to 14 points in the third quarter, while holding
the Purple and Gold to just eight points. The Jeeps,
which led 36-31 at the start of the fourth, pushed its
lead to 49-36 with 5:45 to play.
Southern, which had two starters fouled out of the
game, trimmed the lead to 54-49 with 2:07 remaining but the Jeeps closed the game out with a 11-5 run
to take the sectional title by a count of 65-54.
“I’m just really disappointed right now because we
didn’t play our best tonight,” said Caldwell. “Its tough,
you want to go out playing your best and we didn’t do
it tonight. Our defense was good until the fourth quarter and foul trouble hurt us bad, obviously.”
The Tornadoes were led by Tristen Wolfe with 20
points, including 12 in the fourth period. Chandler
Drummer marked 11 points, Taylor McNickle and
Trenton Deem each had six, while Casey Pickens
added four and Zac Beegle had three points. Dennis
Teaford and Jaylen Blanks each added two points,
rounding out the SHS total.
The Tornadoes shot 22-of-56 (39.3 percent) from
the field, 4-of-20 (20 percent) from three-point range
and 6-of-11 (54.5 percent) from the free throw line.
The Tornadoes had 28 rebounds, nine assists, two
blocks, four steals, 12 turnovers and 22 fouls.
Teaford paced SHS with eight rebounds, followed

by Wolfe and Pickens with five apiece. Wolfe had a
team-high five assists, while Deem led the defense
with two steals. Wolfe and Drummer each had a
block in the game.
Levi Cook led the Jeeps with 28 points including
17 in the fourth quarter. Shane Simmerman had 14
points, Alek Blevins added 12, while Brody Queen
marked five. Denver Fuller and Nate Hadinger each
had three points to cap off the victors total.
South Webster shot 18-of-49 (36.7 percent) from
the field, 7-of-22 (31.8 percent) from beyond the arc
and 2-of-25 (88 percent) from the free throw line.
SWHS had 28 rebounds, 14 assists, six steals, 12
turnovers and 12 fouls.

Blue Jackets upbeat as they return from Olympics
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky says he’s over
the disappointment of Russia’s Olympic
failure in hockey. Now he’s committed
to getting the Columbus Blue Jackets
into the playoffs.
“Right now I feel pretty good. It’s already behind us,” he said. “Right after
the games, I felt empty and I felt bad.
But that’s already past.”
Bobrovsky and three Blue Jackets on

the Russian team arrived back in Columbus a week ago and have had plenty of
time to acclimate to their NHL club. The
game Thursday night at New Jersey is
their first after the NHL’s Olympic hiatus.
Coach Todd Richards, an assistant
to Dan Bylsma with fourth-place Team
USA, is still catching up on lost sleep
from the Sochi Games. He called it the
experience of a lifetime, memorable for
a warm welcome by the Russian people,

great competition and an enjoyable
three weeks.
“I walked into my fourth-floor
apartment and our back balcony
was a stone’s throw away from the
Black Sea,” he said. “Everything was
great. It was pretty impressive. It’ll be
something I’ll be able to look back on
throughout my career.”

Term ‘mid-major’ in hoops finally dies of old age
By Dave Skretta
The Associated Press

RIP, “mid-major.” It was a good run.
The term that for years has derisively referred to programs residing somewhere outside the major conferences of college basketball has died. It was 37 years old.
Mid-major had been on life support for
nearly a decade as schools such as George Mason, VCU, Butler and Wichita State crashed
the Final Four. What had previously been the
bastion of blue bloods such as North Carolina, Kentucky and Duke was thrown open to
schools with tiny enrollments and modest fan
bases, yet enough talent to shake the college
basketball establishment.
Its last breath may have come in a ragged
gasp as the Shockers rose to No. 2 in the nation this week and Saint Louis elbowed Michigan State and others out of the top 10.
Several coaches had similar reactions: “It’s
about time,” Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall
said.
“We travel in private planes. We sell out
every game. We treat our program the same
as a high major in every way,” Marshall said.
“Besides, who decides what a mid-major is,
anyway?”
The term was born in 1977, when Jack
Kvancz — then the coach of Catholic University — was asked about a nip-and-tuck game
against Howard University, and he summarized it thusly: “For a game between two
mid-majors, or whatever you’d call us, it had
anything you could ask for.”
It was a throwaway comment, but one that
took hold, becoming part of the college basketball lexicon as the NCAA tournament exploded in the 1980s into a high-profile event.
Suddenly, any program with a small budget
or little name recognition was saddled with

the description of “mid-major,” back then an
endearing term for the scrappy underdogs.
“March Madness is not made on the Kentuckys and Dukes and North Carolinas,” offered Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson.
“March Madness is made by VCU, Butler and
Wichita State.”
Yet it was the madness of March that started to bury the term mid-major.
Perhaps no other program has been as hard
on its health as Gonzaga, which made the
Elite Eight in 1999 and has been to the NCAA
tournament every year since, earning a No. 1

seed last season.
All that success has changed the way the
program is viewed. The Bulldogs are invited
to prestigious tournaments such as the Maui
Invitational, and are scheduling home-andhome series — often in NBA-style arenas that
can seat bigger crowds — against the likes of
Kansas State.
They’re not the only ones to shrug off the
mid-major label.
George Mason didn’t look anything but
major in reaching the Final Four in 2006.
Neither did Butler when it made back-to-back
national championships a few years ago, beating another so-called mid-major in VCU in a
riveting 2011 national semifinal.
“I think that people that know really our
league, and not just us, but other teams in
our league, they know we play a major college
schedule, in non-conference for sure,” San
Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. “And
we not only play them, but we have beaten
enough of them.”
That’s why every March, the term mid-major became more difficult to apply.
That continued with the latest round of
conference realignment. When Creighton left
the Missouri Valley for the Big East, did the
Bluejays suddenly became major? And when
entirely new conferences such as the American Athletic combined schools from each side
of the debate, did it become a major conference or a mid-major one?
“I do think it’s interesting that Creighton
was one of the top teams with us the last
couple years in this league,” said Marshall,
whose Shockers already have wrapped up the
Missouri Valley title. “Now they go to the Big
East, considered an elite league, and they’re
dominating the league, and us with them
gone are having to justify our (30-0) record.
That’s an interesting quandary.”

Loss

Browns
From Page 6
Near the end of last
season, Jackson said
he would be “shocked”
if he didn’t come back.
But now that the day
has arrived, he can get
a fresh start elsewhere.
He thanked the
Browns and their fans
in a statement.
“To the people of
Cleveland and Browns
fans everywhere: Eight
years ago I began a
journey that blessed me
with the opportunity to
be a part of a wonderful
organization and community,” Jackson said.
“I want to take this time
to thank each and every
one of you for opening
your arms and hearts to
my family and me, and
for making Cleveland an
easy place to love and
call home. It’s been an
honor playing in front of
you. I also would like to
thank the Browns players, coaches and staff for
their tireless work and
commitment.
“From the bottom
of my heart, I thank
you all and will always
carry you with me. For
opening your arms
and hearts to my family and me, and for
making Cleveland an
easy place to love and
call home. It’s been an
honor playing in front
of you.”

Jeeps

is a must win. These last three games
do a lot for our seeding in the Big Ten
tournament and hopefully the NCAA
tournament. We look at every game
from here on out as a tournament-type
game.”
And it all starts with the Nittany Lions (13-14, 4-10), who also have a lot
riding on their final home game.
They’ve lost four out of five, but senior night is always emotional. They’ll
be saying goodbye to school assists
leader Tim Frazier.
In the first meeting, the Buckeyes
were comfortably in charge by 11
points with just 7:58 left. Against a
team that came in only 1-6 in the Big
Ten, it seemed as if it was just a matter
of time until they sealed the deal.
But D.J. Newbill hit a 3 to wrap up
a furious comeback that forced overtime, then hit another 3 with 2 seconds
remaining in the extra session to complete the stunner.

“It’s amazing when you go back and
look at where we were at that point
and the level we’ve been playing at (recently),” Matta said. “We put ourselves
in a very good position but just could
not make the plays. Give Penn State
the credit: They made some big-time
shots, some great offensive rebounds,
those types of things. We couldn’t finish it down the stretch. We had our
chances and didn’t get the job done.”
Ohio State’s turnaround since then
stems from shooting better along with
stepping up a defense that was already
among the best in the country.
The chaos that has reigned in the
conference has also helped out the
Buckeyes, who have steadily climbed
in the standings during a season of unending upsets.
“With the way the Big Ten’s going,
a lot of teams have been losing. That’s
a great thing for us, so we can move
up,” said Ohio State’s leading scorer,
LaQuinton Ross. “The rest of the season, everybody in that locker room

knows what’s at stake and they know
how good of a team that we have and
that we can go far in the tournament.”
He wasn’t talking about the Big Ten
tournament, either. The Buckeyes
have fought back to the point where
through Tuesday’s play they were
alone in fourth place in the conference.
That is a major goal, finishing in the
top four in the standings and grabbing
an opening-round bye.
Some bracketologists have them as
a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Since the first Penn State meeting
— which capped a woeful 1-5 stretch
for the Buckeyes after they’d started
the year 15-0 and ranked No. 3 — the
players have taken more responsibility.
“One of the sayings going around in
our locker room right now is, ‘No more
my bads,’” Thompson said. “We don’t
want to be put in position in games
where we mess up and have to say, ‘My
bad.’ We feel that at this point of the
season, we can no longer live through
those.”

From Page 6
Blevins had 12 rebounds to lead the way, followed by
Cook with seven. Zimmerman led the way with five assists, followed by Cook with four. Fuller led the defensive
effort with three steals.
This is the second straight year SHS has lost in the sectional final, while South Webster’s last sectional loss came
in 2009. The Jeeps are on a six game winning streak.
This marks the final game for Southern seniors Dennis
Teaford, Chandler Drummer, Casey Pickens, Zac Beegle,
Taylor McNickle and Trenton Deem.
“They are a good group of guys and they’re good to be
around,” Caldwell said of his seniors. “I appreciate them
and what they’ve done. We’re going to miss them but they
were able to help us get our first league championship in
the TVC.”
The last time the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division champion won a sectional title was 2011 when the
Eastern Eagles advanced to the district and went 14-2 in
the league. TVC Hocking co-champion Waterford also
lost in the sectional final on Tuesday, by a count of 73-66.
South Webster will go on to the Convocation Center on
the campus of Ohio University, where the Jeeps will face
Paint Valley at 6:15 on Monday.

Jackets
From Page 6
However, there will be reminders of the disappointment the
Americans and Russians shared
in Sochi.
When players first returned
to the dressing room after
Tuesday’s practice, someone
had rigged the sound system to
blare, “O, Canada.” Center Ryan
Johansen, a native of the Canada
that won the gold medal, may
or may not have been the guilty
party. Regardless, he was singing
along, loudly and off key.
Now the Blue Jackets can focus on what’s ahead. The club
is fourth in the Metro Division,
three points out of third and in

the thick of the wild-card chase
in the East.
With 24 games over the next
6½ weeks, they need a strong finish. They’ll need a repeat of what
they put together a year ago, going from last place to tying for a
playoff spot by closing with a 195-5 flourish.
Chief scorer Marian Gaborik
is back from surgery to repair a
broken collarbone.
“We’re right there on the
bubble and we want to make
sure we have a good start and an
even better finish,” said Gaborik,
who didn’t play for Slovakia in
the Olympics because of the injury. “This group has done a lot
to change since the start of the

year. We’re playing more consistently and hopefully now it’s
going to graduate to us playing
better.”
When the NHL suspended
play for the Olympics, the Blue
Jackets were playing some of
their best hockey of the season.
They had won 11 of their last 16
games, including a franchise-record eight-game winning streak.
“The carrot’s sort of dangling
right in front of us. We know
what’s at stake,” center Brandon Dubinsky said. “If that’s not
incentive enough to bring that
level that we need to have on a
daily basis to win hockey games
regularly, then this team wasn’t
meant to go far. But I believe

we have the right guys in this
room who will chase that carrot
down.”
It’ll be a sprint to the finish.
Anyone slow out of the blocks
will get left behind.
“You can’t be one of those
teams that is trying to find its
game the first three or four
or five games,” Richards said.
“We’re going to see how much
this means to us based on when
we come back, what type of
shape are we going to be in physically, mentally and emotionally?
If we’re serious about it and this
is something we truly want, well,
words are easy to say. It’s always
about our actions.”
So far, so good. Richards said

Tuesday’s practice might have
been the best since he took over
as head coach in May 2012.
The Blue Jackets will be without top-pair defenseman Fedor
Tyutin for two to three weeks
because of an ankle injury sustained while playing for Russia
in the Olympics. But, fourthline enforcer Jared Boll is close
to returning and everyone else
is apparently healed — physically and psychically — after the
Olympics.
“We’ve had a couple of days
off, and a couple of good nights
of sleep,” said Artem Anisimov,
yet another Russian Olympian.
“Now we’re ready to get to work.
We’re ready to continue.”

James expects to rejoin Heat lineup Thursday
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron
James stood in the corner
of the Miami Heat practice gym, cursing but grinning after missing another
3-point shot, then flopped
to the hardwood and did
a push-up as self-imposed
punishment.
Teammates
watched
and laughed as the sequence repeated several
times, a sure sign their
MVP is feeling better.
James took part in noncontact drills Tuesday and
said he should be able to
rejoin the lineup Thursday against the New York
Knicks. He missed Sun-

day’s victory over the Chicago Bulls after breaking
his nose in the previous
game.
James dispensed with
the bandage he wore late
last week and said his
headaches have subsided.
But he’s not yet ready for
contact drills and still in a
little pain while the nose
heals.
“Every day is better,” he
said. “I haven’t been hit on
it either. That definitely
helps.”
James may try out a
new protective mask in
practice Wednesday and
will wear it in games.

He did a lot of running
and other conditioning
Tuesday, worked with his
teammates on offensive
sets and shot baskets.
How did he look?
“The same,” Chris Bosh
said. “He can break anything, and he’ll still look
the same. That’s why he’s
LeBron.”
Sunday’s game was
only the second James
has missed this season.
The Heat improved to 2-0
without him, but he didn’t
enjoy watching from the
bench.
“It was terrible,” he
said. “I was happy we got

He’s not looking forward to wearing a mask,
either. He has experience,
because he broke his cheek
while with the Cleveland
Cavaliers 10 years ago and
wore a mask then.
“It’s a difficult challenge,” James said. “It’s
like somebody constantly
has a hand in your face.
It’s like an added defender
you definitely don’t want.”
Despite hindered vision
and the possibility of aggravating the injury by
taking another blow to the
face, James said he’ll still
drive to the basket.
“I won’t change my game

CHARLOTTE,
N.C.
(AP) — When the race finally resumed — some six
hours after the Daytona
500 was brought to a water-logged halt — fans that
made it to the finish were
treated to one of the most
intense races in memory.
As NASCAR heads
West for a two-race swing
through Phoenix and Las
Vegas, the challenge is to
somehow duplicate all that
energy from the Daytona
500. There are 36 events
left this year, and NASCAR
would have very few problems if they are half as ex-

citing as the 500.
“It was electric, man,”
winner Dale Earnhardt Jr.
said. “I don’t know what
the hell was going on or
why it was like that. I wish
I knew, because that’s what
NASCAR wants to bottle
and sell.”
NASCAR spent much
of last year working on a
new rules package to improve the on-track action
at 1.5-mile tracks, and the
first test won’t come until
March 9 at Las Vegas. First
up is this Sunday’s race at
Phoenix, a one-mile, lowbanked tri-oval in the desert that will give teams a
far better indicator than
Daytona of how prepared
they are for the season.
But there will be new
eyes watching, partly because of Earnhardt’s victory and partly because of
the sheer competitiveness
of Daytona, and they’ll be
expecting a similar show.
“I know everybody
thinks it’s the greatest race

they ever saw because
Dale Jr. won it,” Earnhardt
said. “Taking that out of
the equation, I think it really was an exciting race
and one of the most exciting Daytona 500s I’ve
ever been in and one of
the most intense races I’ve
ever been in.
“It felt so different than
any other race I’d ever
been in. The intensity level
was at a max. Races usually have a lull in the middle,
don’t get going ‘til the end
when it’s time to put money on the line, people start
picking up the intensity.
We sustained it from the
time we started, restarted,
all the way to the end. I
couldn’t believe it.”
The race had 42 lead
changes, and 37 of them
came after the rain delay.
Drivers ran three-wide
when the situation called
for single-file or maybe
side-by-side racing. They
seemed to treat every lap
as if it was the last.

A match made
in healthcare.
