John Kasich. Until he does, the legislation does not go into effect. The delay is creating some scheduling problems for school districts. As for the Meigs Local School District, Superintendent Rusty Bookman said yesterday 17 days of school have been missed because of the weather. He said that five are covered by the regular calamity days allowed by the state, and that three were made up by the use of “blizzard bags,” which consisted of take home school work, and when counting the addition four days allowed by the new legislation, only five days remain to be made up. The contingency plan for making up those five days includes two days when students were originally scheduled to be on break, and a three day extension at the end of the year. Bookman said that a proposal for the make-up days will be presented to the Meigs Local Board of Education at Tuesday night’s meeting, but that if the bill doesn’t have the governor’s signature to make it law by that time, then it will be pulled from the agenda. Both the Southern and Eastern School Districts missed 16 days of school due to weather conditions, five of which were the annual calamity days allowed by the state.

Recognizing the Champions 4-H enrollment deadline approaching By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS — “To be successful it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.” That was a saying used by Meigs County Commissioner Mike Bartrum to describe the 2014 season of the State Champion Eastern Lady Eagles at Tuesday’s pep rally. It was not the efforts of one but the achievements of the team as a whole which were recognized by many during Tuesday night’s event. Eastern Local basketball announcer Randy Wachter served as emcee for the event, announcing the names of each girl on the team before announcing the various speakers for the evening. The Eastern High School cheerleaders lead the crowd in cheers as the team entered the gym to begin the rally.

The sketch was presented to Coach John Burdette along with a plaque to recognize the team’s accomplishments. Eastern Local Board of Education President Floyd Ridenour spoke on behalf of the board, congratulating the ladies and their coaches. Eastern boys basketball head coach Jeremy Hill spoke about girls head coach John Burdette, stating that they were very fortunate to have John work with the ladies on basketball.

Garner has joined the global nonprofit’s board of trustees, deepening her commitment to issues affecting children in America and around the world. Committed to a six-year term as one of 30 members of the organization’s board, Garner joins the likes of former ABC News president David Westin, former chairman of the Xerox Corp. Anne Mulcahy and ABC News political commentator Cokie Roberts. As artist ambassador, Garner brought Save the Children’s early childhood development and literacy programs to her home state, West Virginia, where more than a quarter of children live below the poverty line. She has advocated on Capitol Hill on behalf of the organization and traveled to California’s Central Valley, Kentucky and West Virginia to see the effects of poverty first-hand. “In my new role with Save the Children, I hope to make an even bigger difference in the lives of children right here in America and around the world,” said Garner, who was raised in Charleston, W.Va., and currently resides in Los Angeles, Calif., with her family. “All children, whether they are born into pov- erty or affluence, have the right to grow up healthy, learn and make something of their lives.” “Jennifer Garner brings not only star power, but also a wealth of knowledge, experience and unmatched compassion to our organization,” said Carolyn Miles, president and CEO of Save the Children. “She is an avid advocate for early childhood education programs in the United States and we look forward to expanding her role within our organization.” In West Virginia, Save the Children operates education-based programs in partnership with local elementary schools in five counties, including Beale Elementary School in Mason County.

Members of the boys team presented each girl with a flower and a gift card, along with a gas car to the coaches. As Hill stated, the girls can go out to eat again as a team, and the gas will help with the estimated 5,000 miles traveled to scout or pick up game tapes this year. Eastern Principal Shawn Bush, speaking on behalf of Larry Brandeberry, presented each of the girls with a plaque from Brandeberry. Each plaque was in the shape of an “E” and included the girls record and state champions. Dan Short of Ohio Valley Bank was the next to speak. “If you like it you should have put a ring on it,” said Short quoting a song. Short then presented head coach John Burdette and the Eastern Athletic Boosters with a check for $1,000 from Ohio Valley Bank to be used toward the championship rings for the team. The Meigs County Commissioners presented the Lady Eagles and the coaching staff with a proclamation recognizing their achievements. The proclamation listed some of the achievements as a 27-1 overall record, the state title, a combined team GPA of 3.78 and five team members on the National Honor Society. The proclamation also proclaimed March 15 (the day the team won the title) as Lady Eagle Day. Commissioner Randy Smith added, “for a brief moment you united all of Meigs County.” Ashley Smith, on behalf of Congressman Bill Johnson, presented a Congressional Proclamation to the team. State Representative Debbie Phillips presented commendations from the Ohio House to each of the team members and coaching staff. She added that she and Senator Lou Gentile will work with the district to bring the team to the Statehouse for recognition of their achievement. Judge Scott Powell read an entry from Judges Powell, Carson Crow and Steven Story in honor of the team’s accomplishments. The entry states in part, the Eastern Lady Eagles have achieved excellence on the basketball court and academically. Head coach John Burdette thanked Athletic Director Sam Thompson, all of those that came out to support the team and the girls — past and present — who have been part of making the program a success. He added that he always believed that the girls could be state champions, even telling the radio announcers that as far back as six years ago soon after he began coaching the team. Jenna Burdette spoke about the wonderful ride the team has been on this year and enjoying it all together.

Forever Loving You Daddy’s “Girls” 60491140 From Page 1 Enrollment �The Daily Sentinel OPINION Page 4 THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2014 The American story of slavery Making history come alive By Eugene Robinson Hollywood has finally taken an unflinching look at slavery. It’s past time for the rest of the country to do the same. I wanted to wait before writing about the best picture Oscar for “12 Years a Slave” to see if it still felt like an important milestone. It does. Academy Award recognition for one well-made movie obviously does not make up for a century of pretending that slavery never happened. But perhaps the movie industry’s top prize can give impetus to the efforts of artists and scholars who are beginning to honestly confront this nation’s original sin. We tell ourselves that we know all about slavery, that it’s ancient history. But we’ve never fully investigated its horrors, which means we’ve never come to terms with them, which means we’ve never been able to get beyond them. Where slavery is concerned, we are imprisoned by William Faulkner’s famous epigram: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” The success of “12 Years a Slave” may be a significant step toward our collective liberation. Solomon Northup, a free man living in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., really was kidnapped in 1841 and sold into slavery. He really did spend a dozen years in captivity. He really did survive the experience, secure his release in 1853 and publish a power- ful memoir, “Twelve Years a Slave,” that was the basis for John Ridley’s Oscar-winning screenplay. It took a British auteur and an A-list movie star to bring Northup’s harrowing story to the screen. Steve McQueen, the first black director of a best picture winner, has said that his wife “discovered” Northup’s book; in fact, it is one of the best-known slave narratives. Producer Brad Pitt provided the box- office clout needed to overcome Hollywood’s reservations about this ambitious film, starring unknown black actors, that sought to challenge audiences rather than delight them. And because of the awards, there is new interest in McQueen’s film and Northup’s book - which means that more people will educate themselves about slavery. I called it the nation’s original sin because slave owners, including the Founding Fathers, knew very well that they were sinners. Owning slaves was a matter of economics — one could hardly be expected to run a plantation without them — and personal luxury. James Madison called slavery “the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man” — but did not free the slaves he owned. Thomas Jefferson believed slavery should be ended in the future — but continued to own slaves throughout his lifetime. Patrick Henry, who said “Give me liberty or give me death,” believed that The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

As the slave population in the United States grew sharply after the invention of the cotton gin, techniques of repression and control increased in brutality. Many people think of slavery as only a Southern phenomenon, but some of the biggest slave traders in the country were based in Rhode Island. Commerce in cotton picked by slaves was so important to New York’s growth as a financial center that the mayor, Fernando Wood, wanted the city to secede during the Civil War in order to continue doing business with the Confederacy. As the war raged, slaves across the South took advantage of chaos to escape. Ablebodied whites who otherwise would have fought had to stay home to make sure that slaves did not rise in rebellion or simply run away. Scholars digging through public, commercial and family archives are unearthing facts and stories that have long been swept under the rug. Hollywood’s recognition of “12 Years a Slave” announces an uncomfortable truth: Slavery’s story is America’s story. By Esther Cepeda CHICAGO — Throughout my formal academic career, history classes bored me. The timelines, the outdated maps, the tiresome chronology that seemed always to begin with ancient earthen pottery and end with the Beatles making crowds of teenage women faint. Snore. The stories from history, however, were a different thing altogether. I would give just about anything to lay my hands on a copy of my first favorite book — a story about how Benjamin Franklin arrived in Philadelphia with only a few coins in his pocket and made his way to a bakery where he bought three puffy rolls of bread. An illustration showed a young, redcheeked Franklin eating what looked to me like three bolillos — the bread tha tortas, a Mexican sandwich, are made with — as he walked down the streets of what was to become one of the capitals of the fledgling United States. This memory of being able to almost taste a piece of history bubbled up from my consciousness as I finished “The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance” by Ron Chernow. I’m certainly not a student of banking, but the idea of spanning 150 years in America through the story of one family was irresistible. The book did not disappoint. Richly detailed and meticulously researched, Chernow gives us a sweeping view of business and wealth in the U.S. during several wars, economic booms and crises, and the construction of some of the nation’s most important infrastructure. He unwittingly traces the path of propriety among the wealthy classes to the overabundance of profit and stark greed that make Americans both worship and despise Wall Street. There are vivid stories about J.P. Morgan’s diseased and torturous-to-look-at nose, his son Jack Morgan’s embarrassing encounter with a circus midget outside a Senate hearing, and digressions into the Morgan institutions’ first Hispanic, Jewish and female managing partners. I recommend the book because of so many interesting tales from history.

Sorted from wonkiest to most entertaining, they’re so good I promise you’ll enjoy them even if you never liked history in school. The most offbeat selection is “The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger” by Marc Levinson. OK, I’ll grant you that there aren’t many people who really need to know this much about maritime logistics. But if the “first comprehensive history of the shipping container” doesn’t thrill you at least a little, then rest assured that the story about how those giant colorful semi-trailer boxes came to change nearly every facet of our consumer lives from the 1950s to today is worth the read. You don’t need to be an education policy expert to derive great enjoyment from “How Lincoln Learned to Read” by Daniel Wolff. But if you love that “Wow, I never knew that!” feeling and are interested in how the educational upbringings of Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, W.E.B. Du Bois, Helen Keller and Elvis Presley helped them exceed expectations, this book will give you much to think about. “American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms” by Chris Kyle with William Doyle is just jaw-dropping. Not a glorification of guns, nor a dismissal of the pain they’ve brought this nation, this is an eye-opening and respectful look at the role guns have played in the development of our national character, identity and economy. Plus, it’s just plain fun to read. Lastly, “Bitter Brew: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser Busch and America’s Kings of Beer” by William Knoedelseder. This story about five generations of the Busch family has more suds than most soap operas. Sex, lies, betrayal, hubris, alcohol, zoo animals and amusement parks, labor union disputes, fancy horses, egos, babies born and served Budweiser before even suckling at their mother’s breast for the first time, it’s all there. America’s ups and downs over 150 years in beer — you can’t beat that. History — too rich, steamy, violent, greedy and funny to be any good once sanitized and compartmentalized into a textbook — must be devoured in its fullness in adulthood. Enjoy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Countless theories have surfaced about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 nearly two weeks ago. Some are plausible, some are downright absurd. There is, unfortunately, no clear answer as the families of the 239 passengers and crew — and the rest of the world — wait in agony. Even the most logical hypotheses about what happened to the 209-foot-long Boeing 777 have holes. No scenario solves this mystery. Here is a look at some of the leading, plausible theories — and their flaws. — MALICIOUS PILOT ACTION Investigators are looking at the histories of Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, who has been flying for Malaysia Airlines since 1981 and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, who just started flying a 777. Zaharie had built his own flight simulator at home, unusual but not out of the norm. Many aviation enthusiasts have similar setups; one Los Angeles flight attendant recreated a Pan Am first class cabin in his garage. Investigators are now trying to restore files deleted from that simulator. Why suspect the pilots? The plane’s transponder stopped signaling its location to air-traffic controllers and other planes at the perfect moment: the handoff from Malaysia’s controllers to those in Vietnam. In the final radio contact from the plane, the co-pilot told Malaysian controllers “All right, good night.” Vietnamese controllers were never contacted and the transponder shut off. The plane abruptly turned and then kept flying for up to seven hours. The way several key communication and tracking devices in the cockpit were disabled — at different times — also places suspicion on the pilots. The idea of pilots using a plane to commit suicide and mass murder is scary, taboo within the industry but not unprecedented. A SilkAir crash in 1997 and an EgyptAir crash in 1999 are both believed to have been the result of deliberate actions by pilots. — TERRORIST HIJACKING This theory was prominent early on after it was discovered Army general sex case adjourned until Thursday FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — A general who broke military law repeatedly during a three-year extramarital affair with a subordinate should be thrown out of the Army and lose his benefits, prosecutors said Wednesday during closing arguments at his sentencing. The defense argued that dismissing Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair from the military would do the most harm to his wife and children, calling them the only innocent people in the case. After both sides finished, Judge Col. James Pohl adjourned the hearing until Thursday morning — meaning Sinclair will have to wait at least one more day to learn his fate. Sinclair’s sentencing comes as the military and Congress grapple with sex crimes in the ranks. Prosecutor Maj. Rebecca Dimuro disputed the notion promoted by the defense that Sinclair made an uncharacteristic mistake in an otherwise stellar career. The defense had called a host of character witnesses to laud Sinclair as a selfless leader in hopes of getting a lenient punishment. Dimuro used a slide show to point out decisions by Sinclair over the course of inappropriate relationships with three women under his command. “It’s not just one mistake. Not just one lapse in judgment. It was repeated,” she said. “They are not mistakes. We are not in the court of criminal mistakes. These are crimes.” Sinclair faces a maximum of more than 20 years in prison and dismissal from the Army, but will likely wind up with a far less severe punishment. The sentence can’t exceed terms in a sealed agreement between defense lawyers and military attorneys. The judge will make his own decision before unsealing the document, and Sinclair will receive whichever is the more lenient punishment. The judge could dismiss Sinclair from the Army, which would likely wipe out his health care and retirement benefits. If the judge allows Sinclair to retire from the military instead, Sinclair’s commanding officer would decide whether to reduce Sinclair’s rank — which could also cost him dearly in benefits. The general admitted he mistreated a captain under his command during a three-year affair and had improper relationships with two other women. He also pleaded guilty to adultery — a crime in the military — as well as using his government-issued credit card to pay for trips to see his mistress and other conduct unbecoming an officer. The 51-year-old general had been accused of twice forcing the female captain to perform oral sex during the three-year affair, but the sexual assault charges were dropped as part of the plea deal. The Army’s case against Sinclair started to crumble as questions arose about his primary accuser’s credibility and whether military officials improperly rejected a previous plea deal because of political concerns. A military lawyer representing Sinclair argued that his wife, Rebecca, had made a significant investment in the Army herself by holding leadership positions in organizations that helped soldiers’ families. Maj. Sean Foster said Rebecca Sinclair and the couple’s two sons would be hurt the most if the general lost benefits. “These three are the only truly innocent people in this case,” he said. Even if Sinclair were allowed to retire and demoted by two ranks, the defense calculated that he would still lose $831,000 in retirement benefits over his expected life span. And no matter what, Sinclair will be paying a hefty price with his lost career and ruined reputation. “That is a life sentence in itself,” Foster said. Sinclair broke down in tears multiple times during Wednesday’s hearing. When a letter from his wife was read, Sinclair buried his head in his hands, appeared to cry and dabbed his eyes with two tissues. In the letter, Rebecca Sinclair says she hasn’t fully forgiven her husband but doesn’t want the Army to punish him and his family further with a significant reduction to his pension and other benefits. “Believe me when I tell you that the public humiliation and vilification he has endured are nothing compared to the private suffering and guilt that he lives with every day,” writes Rebecca Sinclair, who hasn’t attended her husband’s hearings. Jeffrey Sinclair broke down at several points as he read a statement to the judge, pausing to collect himself. He apologized to his family and the women with whom he admitted inappropriate relationships. “I’ve been frustrated and angry, but I don’t have to look any further than the mirror for someone to blame,” he said, noting the hearing came exactly two years after the captain came forward with allegations on March 19, 2012. www.mydailysentinel.com that two Iranians on board — one 18, the other 28 — were traveling on stolen passports. Investigators haven’t found anything linking either to terror groups; it is believed they were trying to illegally immigrate to Europe. Ever since 9/11, it’s much harder for an unauthorized person to enter the cockpit. Cockpit doors have been reinforced and procedures have been put in place to ensure nobody gains entry when a pilot exits. And passengers and crew have shown a willingness to confront anyone trying to take over or damage a plane. Could someone have been allowed into the cockpit? It’s against protocol, but does happen. Back in 2011, Flight 370’s co-pilot and another pilot invited two women boarding their aircraft to sit in the cockpit for an international flight. During the journey, the pilots smoked and flirted, one of the women said this month. Still, no credible group has taken credit for the disappearance and intelligence agencies say they haven’t noticed any chatter in terrorist circles regarding the jet. — SUDDEN CATASTROPHE Aviation experts initially suspected that something sudden and horrific happened. Perhaps a bomb on board, or some type of failure with the engines or airframe. But if that were the case, debris would have been found in the spot where the transponder went off. Also, the Boeing 777 has just one crash in its 19-year history — last year’s Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco. If there was a sudden breakup, pieces of the plane would have been visible on radar. — FIRE An electrical fire, or perhaps a fire from hazardous cargo, could have knocked out communications equipment and prevented crewmembers and passengers from calling for help. Some people have speculated that smoke incapacitated the pilots. It’s possible, but flight attendants and passengers would have had time to try to enter the cockpit and take control of the plane. — DECOMPRESSION A slow or sudden decompression, causing a loss of oxygen, could have killed everyone on board. If oxygen levels dropped, a loud, automated warning would have alerted the pilots to put on their oxygen masks and immediately descend below 10,000 feet, where there is enough oxygen to breathe without aid. If the plane depressurized and killed its occupants, which happened on golfer Payne Stewart’s business jet in 1999, that would explain the silence from crew and passengers. But aviation experts say in that case, the plane should have kept flying automatically toward Beijing and been visible on radar. — HIDDEN PLANE It’s possible that somebody landed the plane at some remote airport and is hiding it from the world. Maybe they want to hold the passengers hostage, although nobody has taken responsibility or demanded a ransom. Maybe there was something of value in the cargo hold — and this was the world’s most elaborate robbery. Maybe terrorists have the plane and plan to load it with jet fuel and explosives and use it as a missile in the future. Those scenarios all have holes. A very skilled pilot would have to land the plane at a small airport that normally doesn’t accommodate 777s. They might have had to land in the dark, without normal navigation aids to assist. And they would have to dodge several nations’ radar systems, though some have suggested that it stealthy flew in another jet’s shadow. Yet it’s hard to rule out anything. It took Thailand’s government 10 days to acknowledge that it spotted what might have been Flight 370 on its radar. Governments aren’t necessarily open to sharing all their information, especially when it comes to their military radar capabilities. But why go to all the trouble of stealing a commercial jet? A cargo plane would be easier to steal. — ACCIDENTAL SHOOTDOWN Civilian aircraft have been unintentionally shot down by a country’s military. In July 1988, the United States Navy missile cruiser USS Vincennes accidently shot down an Iran Air flight, killing all 290 passengers and crew. In September 1983, a Korean Air Lines flight was shot down by a Russian fighter jet. There is no evidence that Flight 370 was brought down by a government entity.

Gallia Academy had two of its three state qualifiers finish on the podium at the 2014 Ohio Indoor Track and Field Championships held on March 8 at the Stile Athletics Field House on the campus of the University of Akron. It was an historic weekend for GAHS, as it marked the second consecutive season in which the Blue and White landed at least two people on the podium with topeight finishes. And for the second year in a row, both Hannah Watts and Logan Allison — a pair of seniors — were standing atop the platform at the end of their respective events. Watts — a three-time state qualifier in the 400m dash — switched to the 800m event this year after finishing fourth in the 400 a year ago, and the new approach paid off as the senior became the first Blue Angel to win an indoor state title. Watts posted a winning mark of 2:16.91, which was more than two seconds faster than the entire field. Michelle McKinney of Eaton was the overall runner-up with a mark of 2:19.32. Watts winning time was just a fraction of a second of the state meet record, which is currently held by Kaela Lightfoot of Minerva (2:16.44). Watts’ 10 points also allowed the Blue Angels to finish tied for 21st with nine other teams at the competition. John Glenn won the Division II-III team title with 22 points, while Akron Buchtel was close behind in second place with 21 points.

Pictured from left are Abbie Hawley, Laura Pullins, Hannah Bailey, Lindsay Hupp, Hannah Barringer, Morgan Barringer and Alia Hayes. The future is now for Eastern underclassmen By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — These underclassmen have some big shoes to fill, regardless of what color of footwear they choose. The Eastern Lady Eagles graduate five seniors from their 2014 Division IV state championship squad, but that means seven state champions will be back in the Green and Gold next season. Storied seniors Erin Swatzel, Katie Keller, Jenna Burdette, Jordan Parker and Maddie Rigsby led Eastern to its first-ever state title, but it wouldn’t have been possible with out season-long help from junior Lindsay Hupp, sophomore Morgan Barringer, and freshmen Laura Pullins, Alia Hayes, Hannah Barringer, Abbie Hawley and Hannah Bailey. “For our underclassmen, right now is the greatest experience for them that they could imagine,” said EHS coach John Burdette. “I’m glad they get to share this because they bust their tails every day in practice. They get to see what hard work does and they are going to benefit a lot from this experience.” After winning the district for the fourth consecutive season, Eastern faced archrival Waterford in the regional semifinal. The Lady Eagles, which had defeated WHS by 31 and 29 points in the two previous meetings of the season, struggled with the game plan put in place by Lady Cats coach Jerry Close — but still managed to defeat the Washington County natives by a count of 47-30. The AP poll champion Lady Eagles then met with No. 2 Newark Catholic in the regional final, where EHS took care of business with a 62-52 victory over the Green Wave. Eastern advanced to its second consecutive final four with the win and matched up with defending state champion Fort Loramie. A second half run boosted the Green and Gold past the Lady Redskins and EHS advanced to the state final. The Lady Eagles triumphed over Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans, 49-38 in the OHSAA Division IV Eastern head coach John Burdette talks to freshman Laura Pullins (11) during the fourth quarter of the Lady Eagles state championship victory over Rosecrans, Saturday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. girls championship, to give EHS the title and cement the legacy of these Lady Eagles. Even though Eastern was led by its seniors, the Lady Eagle underclassman contributed 88 points this postseason — including 13 from freshman Laura Pullins at the state level.

NFL to discuss expanded playoffs NEW YORK (AP) — NFL owners likely will consider expanding the playoffs by two teams, beginning in 2015, when they hold their spring meetings in Orlando next week, but a vote on the subject is uncertain. A groundswell for raising the number of playoff qualifiers to seven in each conference figures to get plenty of support from the 32 owners. Most notably, Arizona’s Bill Bidwill, who saw his Cardinals go 10-6 and not get in, while Green Bay (8-7-1) qualified by winning the NFC North. The current format of four division Ron Jenkins | Fort Worth Star-Telegram | MCT photo Commissioner of the National Football League, Roger S.

Title ing the membership to 32. “There will be a report on the potential of expanded playoffs,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday. “We don’t know if there will be any vote at this meeting.” Also on the agenda will be alterations to extra points, changing who oversees video replay reviews, and further clamping down on the use of racial slurs by players during games. A change in the playoff structure would be needed if 14 teams qualify, with the top seed in each conference still getting a first-round bye. The next six teams would play in what is now the wild-card round, with the second seed facing No. 7, the third seed taking on No. 6 and the fourth and fifth seeds playing each other. Honors From Page 6 — spoke about the honor of becoming the first indoor state champion for GAHS, although her real goal is to become the fourth OHSAA state champion in Blue Angels’ history. “It just means that the hard work is paying off. It’s a nice measuring stick headed into the track season, but I don’t want to be satisfied with this accomplishment,” Watts said. “I have more that I want to accomplish this year and I want to get as far as I can go, but this an encouraging sign that the fruits of my labor are starting to show. “It’s a nice accomplishment, but I don’t want this to make me comfortable headed into the season. I know other people are out there training just as hard as I am for the same goals that I have. I still have a lot of work to do throughout the course of the track season.” For the second straight year, Logan Allison was on the podium in the triple jump event in the Division II-III tournament. Allison posted a personal-best leap of 40 feet, 6.5 inches to finish fifth overall, one spot better than one year ago in the same event. Devin Snowden of Eastwood won the triple jump with a leap of 44 feet, 2.75 inches. Allison talked about reaching the podium again and how it helped encourage him for spring, even if he still feels like there is some unfinished business to take care of. “Throughout the winter, we set goals to make it to the podium. To achieve that goal is a special feeling and it encourages you to do better everyday,” Allison said. “I was on the podium, but I still didn’t get first — which was my main goal to begin with. That pushes me harder and harder to achieve my goal this spring, which is to beat out some of the best in the state at Jesse Owens Stadium.” Junior Jacob Click — who was making his debut at the indoor state meet — placed 15th overall out of 16 qualifiers in the 60m hurdles event after posting a time of 8.87 seconds. Jack Lint of Columbus Academy set a new state record with a winning time of 7.93 seconds, beating the previous mark of 8.03 seconds held by Antonio Blanks of Dayton Dunbar. Errik Snell of Cambridge was the overall runner-up with a time of 8.07 seconds. The Blue Devils finished the weekend with four team points, tying for with three other teams 49th place. Click spoke about his first trip to the indoor state finals and what he came away with during the competition. “It was a very humbling experience and I am very thankful for the opportunity to go and compete there,” Click said. “I learned a lot from this weekend and I look forward to applying it to the upcoming season. I am also very thankful that I could be part of this weekend with Hannah and Logan. It was something memorable.” Dayton Dunbar won the Division II-III team crown with 68 points, while Eastwood was the overall runnerup with 41 points. It was another productive weekend for GAHS, which currently owns 18 consecutive girls district titles in the spring outdoor season. Coach Paul Close spoke about the events of the weekend in Akron and how they should help the Blue Angels — and the Blue Devils — this year. “We use the indoor season to get ready for the outdoor season,” Close said. “We feel that we built a lot of confidence going into the spring and we are excited about that. We’re going to have a lot of talented kids and lots of numbers this season, so we are pumped and ready to go.” Future From Page 6 “Without the seniors I wouldn’t be where I am now, they help me through everything” said Pullins. “We had it easy until we got to Waterford and Newark Catholic; Fort Loramie got our heart racing a little bit and when we got to the state championship we let them have it. “Coach Burdette has told me all year that I need to get my leadership up because next year he said it would be on me, so I’ve been preparing all year with the seniors.” Pullins — a 5-foot-10 guard — was a Southeast District honorable mention selection this season and marked 40 points this postseason. In the final game at Belpre of the regular season, Eastern lost a key contributor off the bench when Alia Hayes suffered a knee injury. Hayes was lost for the postseason but the 5-7 freshman guard, who marked five points in the TVC Hocking clinching win over Belpre, remained upbeat and looks forward to her return next season. “This means everything to me, even though I didn’t get a chance to play on the court I’m ecstatic for the seniors who got this win,” said Hayes. “I’m happy for everyone, even though I didn’t get a chance, it means just as much to me. “In the offseason I’m going to work harder and train harder than ever before. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up from the seniors this year and take some of their knowledge into next year. They have taught me friendship and leadership and I have grown leaps and bounds by getting to play with these five seniors.” Hayes marked two points in the Lady Eagles lone loss of the season to West Virginia Class A state champion Huntington St. Joe at the Huntington Invitational. Senior Erin Swatzel picked up her fifth foul with 2:30 left in the the state semifinal, and with Katie Keller already disqualified on fouls, Eastern was forced to travel into its bench. Hannah Barringer was called on to play the remainder of the game. Perhaps the play of the tournament happened with around a minute to go when Jenna Burdette tipped the ball to a wide open Hannah Barringer, who laid it in for two points. The field goal put EHS ahead 62-55 and helped the Lady Eagles advance to the state final. “This means a lot, especially after all the work these girls have put in and that I have this season with them,” said Hannah Barringer, another freshman. “It’s a great accomplishment to say that I’ve been able to do this season and I’m going to be able to tell everyone at home I’m a state champion. “I have learned so much from these girls and it’s been amazing getting to play with them this year. They’ve helped me learn so much about basketball and I’ve grown so much this season with them.” Hannah Barringer posted 13 points this postseason, second among EHS bench players. These dozen Lady Eagles join the 10 girls on the 1976 Frankfort Adena team and the 12 girls on the 1994 Frankfort Adena team as the only 34 girls in southeastern Ohio that have played on an OHSAA girls basketball championship team. Eastern is the 84th school in the state to claim a girls championship and the Lady Eagles are one of 57 schools with one state title. EHS was one of three AP poll champions to win a state championship this year, joining Millersburg West Holmes in D-2 and Cincinnati Princeton in D-1 as the 23rd, 24th and 25th programs to accomplish the feat in the 30 years of the poll’s existence. It was also the first time the first time during that span that three poll champions went on to win state titles in the same season.

Their usual home, the Verizon Center, is too big. It’s hosting the circus this week, so Tuesday’s 7765 win was played before 2,133 fans at their on-campus practice gym. It’s far too small, but the students pack the place and create an ear-splitting home-court advantage the Hoyas rarely see. “It was unbelievable, the energy that we got from the fans,” coach John Thompson III said. “The students, the young alums, the old alums. It was a great environment. … I wish we could have that environment at the Verizon Center.” Senior Markel Starks, whose last game could come any day, played off the crowd while scoring 14 points and grabbing a career-high seven rebounds. His backcourt mate, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, had a season-high 32 points and 10 rebounds. “I just had fun,” Starks said. “The energy from the crowd translated to us, and I just wanted to give it back.” It was Georgetown’s first game on campus since 2009. Fans and alumni can dream all they want about a “just-right” place that AP Sports Briefs Mayors bet local treats on Ohio State-Dayton game DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — The mayors of Columbus and Dayton are making a friendly bet on the NCAA men’s basketball tournament matchup between Ohio State and Dayton. A statement from the mayors says they’re wagering locally made treats on the teams’ Thursday afternoon game in Buffalo, N.Y. Backing the Flyers, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley bet a basket of snacks that includes Esther Price chocolates and Buckeye Vodka. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman jokes that he’ll be happy to make Whaley a martini from his winnings if the Buckeyes are victorious. Should Ohio State lose, Coleman will owe Whaley an assortment of a well-known Columbus dessert, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. Ohio State is 25-9 this season. Dayton is 23-10. Ohio to spend $10 million on HOF stadium CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The state of Ohio will give a $10 million grant to the Pro Football Hall of Fame to reconstruct Fawcett Stadium, the field where the annual enshrinement and Hall of Fame game take place. The project is designed to preserve the iconic and historic elements of the 1938 structure. It will include new infrastructure and new seating; new technology systems for sound and video screens; improved parking; improved stadium access; new concession areas and restrooms; and a new plaza adjoining the stadium and the Hall of Fame. The project will be done in two phases, starting in 2014, completed in 2016. David Baker, the new president of the Hall of Fame, says that “tens of thousands attend the (enshrinement) ceremony each year and millions more watch it on national television. So, it is absolutely imperative that we improve the venue …” This year’s enshrinement is scheduled for Aug. 2. NC State beats Xavier 74-59 in NCAA First Four DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — T.J. Warren scored 16 of his 25 points in the second half on Tuesday night, showing why he was the ACC’s player of the year, and North Carolina State led most of the way in a 74-59 victory over Xavier in the NCAA tournament’s First Four.

Georgetown got out of Round 1 by pulling away in the second half, ending a five-game losing streak to the Mountaineers in the schools’ first meeting since West Virginia left the Big East to join the Big 12 in 2012. Juwan Staten scored 23 points to lead the Mountaineers (1716), but Eron Harris went 2 for 7 from 3-point range and Remi Dibo went 0 for 7. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins downplayed the noise factor in the small gym. Summing up the season, he said he didn’t have enough players fully com- mitted to basketball — and that it showed against Georgetown. “I think we had some guys who certainly could have played a lot harder,” Huggins said. The Hoyas shot 37 percent in the first half and 52 percent in the second. Smith-Rivera made a layup and a 3-pointer in an 8-0 run that gave Georgetown the lead for good early in the second half, and Nate Lubick’s dunk with 6:18 to play gave Georgetown the first double-digit lead of the game. “We haven’t guarded all year,” Huggins said. “If we can’t outscore you, we’re not going to win, which is a terrible, terrible way to be.” Buckeyes face Flyers in Ohio NCAA showdown BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Dayton coach Archie Miller has known Ohio State’s Thad Matta long enough to not be fooled by his mentor’s friendly, outgoing demeanor. “You know how it is. He’ll walk around with a smile on his face,” Miller said Wednesday. “But he’s going to try to stomp your head in the first chance you get.” Miller then broke into a smile and referred to Matta as “a good guy,” while acknowledging how special it was to spend two seasons working as Matta’s assistant at Columbus. As if the so-called “Battle of Ohio” needed further subplots with Ohio State (25-6), the South Region’s sixth seed, preparing to face 11th-seeded Dayton (23-10) in the second round of the NCAA tournament in Buffalo on Thursday. The coaches have known each other for some 20 years, since Matta was an assistant at Miami, Ohio, and first came across Miller in elementary school. Dayton’s starting guard Jordan Sibert spent two seasons with the Buckeyes before transferring to Dayton. And then there’s the little matter of in-state bragging rights on the line between two schools separated by 75 miles. Matta called the Buckeye state buzz a little overstated. “I think people want to put tags on situations,” Matta said. “But for us, and for Dayton, you win or you go home. There’s not a whole lot more than that.” It’s a little different from Dayton’s perspective, in what Miller referred to as a “big brother-little brother” relationship between his Atlantic 10 Conference school and a Big Ten powerhouse. “Everyone understands in the state of Ohio, what it’s about in that state: That’s Columbus. It’s a powerful, powerful place,” the 34-year-old Miller said, in his third season at Dayton. “We feel like we’ve earned the right to be here. And regardless if it was Ohio State or somebody else, we have to prepare to be ourselves, not who we play, and not what part of the state they live in.” Here are five things to watch out for between two schools facing each other for only the 10th time, and first since Ohio State’s 74-63 win the third round of the 2008 NIT tournament. TOURNAMENT TESTED: Ohio State senior guards Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. lead a team that has a combined 53 games of tournament experience. They’ve been part of a squad that has gone 9-3 and advanced past the third round in each of the past three years. “We’ve gone through it enough that we know and can help our team, lead and be ready to play,” said Craft, a two-time Big Ten defensive player of the year and also a Bob Cousy award and Wooden Cup finalist this year. “But the experience isn’t going to put the ball in the basket for us this year. So it’s a balance of understanding that it’s a new year and a new team.” Matta has a 24-11 record in 10 tournament appearances. TRANSFER TIME: Sibert left Ohio State for Dayton two years ago in a bid to gain extra playing time. Now he’s getting an oppor- tunity to face his former school in helping lead the Flyers to their first tournament appearance since 2009. “No hard feelings at all,” Sibert said, crediting Matta for playing a role in directing him to Dayton. That doesn’t mean Sibert isn’t looking forward to an opportunity to beat the Buckeyes. “Every transfer would love the chance to beat their old school,” he said. Sibert leads a balanced Flyers attack by averaging 12.5 points. DETERMINED D: The Buckeyes rely on an attacking defense to smother opponents. They rank third in the nation in limiting opponents to hit 29.4 percent of their 3-point attempts, fourth with 85 steals and seventh in allowing 59.8 points a game. Miller referred to Craft as a player who can “wreck your halfcourt game by himself.” The Flyers are 4-7 when scoring 69 or fewer points. The Buckeyes are 25-3 when holding opponents under 70 points. HOT START, TOUGH FINISH: Ohio State got off to a 15-0 start, before a 72-68 overtime loss at Michigan State on Jan. 7. The Buckeyes closed the season 10-9, capped by a 72-69 loss to Michigan in the Big Ten semifinal on Saturday. SLOW START, BETTER FINISH: Dayton rebounded from a 1-5 slump to close the season winning 10 of its last 12, including victories over conference elite rivals UMass, Georgetown and St. Louis. The Flyers are 10-7 against teams in the top 100 RPI ratings this season. Bay Hill will have to go on without Tiger Woods LOCK IN $ would hold maybe 10,000, but the only plans on the drawing board are for a badly needed facility that will contain more practice space, weight rooms and locker rooms. And, as much as he’d like to, Thompson can’t afford to play even one regularly scheduled game a year in a place that seats just over 2,000. “At the end of the day, we have some financial responsibilities,” the coach said. “And much as it’s a great environment, I think playing here we lose a lot of money that we could gain even on a bad-attended day at the Verizon Center.” The Hoyas will go on the road for Round 2 with a visit to Flori- Per Mo For 12 Mos.

(AP) — The four-time Masters champion has an ailing back, and he’s been having it checked out even more regularly the last two weeks. It has reached the point that he is planning surgery after the Masters to see if he can get more comfortable playing golf. Tiger Woods? No, that would be Arnold Palmer. “The doctors have seen things that they think they might be able to do something about,” Palmer said Wednesday at Bay Hill. “And I’m at this point about a month away from having an operation on my back to help me enjoy the game a little more.” Palmer can’t speak for Woods, who is unable to defend his title this week in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A year ago at Bay Hill, all the talk was that Woods was back. He won Bay Hill to return to No. 1 in the world for the first time in more than two years. Now all the talk is about Woods’ back. He withdrew with five holes to play in the Honda Classic. His back bothered him the following week at Doral, and then flared up on Sunday as Woods posted a 78, the highest finalround score of his career. After a week off, the lower back pain was persistent enough that Woods called the 84-year-old tournament host to tell him he couldn’t defend his title in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “He didn’t tell me how bad his back is. I don’t think he knows how bad his back is,” Palmer said. “I think he’s listening to the doctors. And he mentioned that they’re saying that he Yong King | Philadelphia Daily News | MCT Tiger Woods watches his shot on the 8th tee during the second round of the 2013 U.S. Open at the Merion Golf Club East Course in Ardmore, Penn., on Friday, June 14, 2013. needs to give it a bit of a rest and see if he can work it out. He was very nice. And I, of course, have great sympathy for the fact that he tried like hell to come here and play. And I appreciate that and the fact that he called. “I think he wanted to play golf this week,” Palmer said. “I think that he needs to take (time) — whether it’s this week, next week or the following week — to get ready for Augusta. Certainly, if I were in that position, I’d be doing much the same.” The field at Bay Hill is not as strong as usual, starting with the absence of Woods, the No. 1 player in the world and an eight-time winner of this event. Match Play champion Jason Day (No. 4 in the world) pulled out with recurring pain in his thumb, and Phil Mickelson (No. 5) is not playing this year. Not that it would change the dynamics of what already has been a peculiar season. With 18 tournaments in the books since to the official start of the season in October, Zach Johnson is the only player to win a PGA Tour event while ranked among the top 10 in the world. Jimmy Walker has won three times. Patrick Reed, who feels like No. 5 but who still is only No. 20, has two victories, including a World Golf Championship. The Masters is three weeks away. Is it time for the stars to come out? “Hopefully, this one does,” Masters champion Adam Scott said, pointing to himself with a laugh. “But as far as unexpected winners, it seems to me that’s happening more and more in golf. There are more and more guys breaking through, putting in a lot of hard work and getting what they deserve. So I think we’ve seen a bit of a shift in the game over the last couple of years — a lot less domination by top players.” Graeme McDowell, a runner-up to Woods two years at Bay Hill, said he can understand what the No. 1 player is going through with injuries. He also believes that competition might be an even larger obstacle than his health for Woods to break Jack Nicklaus’ record in the majors. Woods is at 14, four short of tying Nicklaus. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
