Wothe, 78 50 cents daily FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 45 Code Red alerts available in Meigs County By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — Meigs County’s Code Red emergency alert system is getting an overhaul. The Code Red System was originally designed to alert individuals when there is the threat of severe weather or other hazardous conditions in the area. Russ Carson, of Meigs EMA, described the system as a 24/7 emergency alert system used to notify people of severe weather or flooding. But now the system can also be used by other agencies to alert the pub- lic to important information such as road closures, snow emergencies and boil advisories. When signing up for the service, individuals will have the option to select multiple modes of communication, as well as deciding what kind of alerts (severe storm, flood, snow) that person would like to receive. The system was recently used when the Meigs County sheriff declared a Level 3 snow emergency for the county. Carson noted that the system was rarely used in the past, but with the enhancements being made can now be a tremendous tool for those in the area. The system will allow for calls to be made over the entire county or to a specific section of the county in cases such as road closures or boil advisories. Carson said the system has been used in the past to notify resident of the area around Success Road when it was closed for road work. The updated system will allow for multiple agencies to serve as administrators, allowing for each department to send out alerts as needed. Carson said that Meigs EMS, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, the Meigs County Health Department and some fire departments have gotten on board with the system at this point. Plans are to reach out to villages and water districts, along with the highway departments, to utilize the system for their services. Currently, those wishing to sign up may do so by visiting the Meigs County Auditor’s website at meigscoutyauditor.org. Links to register will also be available through the Meigs sheriff and Meigs EMS websites in the future, but are not available at this time ac- cording to Carson. There is also an app available for smart phones. The app will notify you of alerts based on your location at the time an alert is issued. Series examining heroin abuse begins Sunday By Jim Krumel Civitas Media Their faces are what stop you. One is of a knockout gorgeous woman. Another of a former judge. There are innocent-looking 20-somethings and haggard-looking old men and women aged beyond their years. White people and people of color are among them. They are the faces of heroin. Fellow journalists from around the country have been emailing these photos my way as part of a three-day series of stories Civitas Media is publishing about heroin abuse. It begins Sunday and is a tale of what many are now calling the “heroin epidemic.” Is “epidemic” an overstatement? After all, who or what constitutes something being classified truly as an epidemic? I cannot answer that question, but I can tell you that of the 35 newspapers from 12 states participating in this series, all but a few of them reported major problems with heroin in their markets.

Recognizing veterans By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The 95th anniversary of the chartering of the American Legion by Congress as a patriotic veterans organization was celebrated Tuesday evening by Drew Webster Post 39 at the Legion hall. Approximately 75 members and guests attended the dinner meeting in which Sam VanMatre, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, was presented the Legionnaire of the Year Trophy by Post Commander John Hood. Also recognized and presented plaques were 60-year continuous members Marty Yeauger, accepting for his late father, Charles Yeauger; and Kenneth Harris and Joe Struble, veterans of the Korean War. Other 60-year members honored but not present were Harold Norton, veteran of the Korean War, and Leonard Jewell, a World War II veteran. Recognition was also given to Legionnaires Bill King, Dave Holter and Jack Lewis, all World War II veterans, who were present at the dinner. The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization focusing on service to veterans, service members and communities, The Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsoring wholesome programs in communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to fellow service members and veterans. Today, membership stands at more than ABOVE, the Legionnaire of the Year trophy presented by Commander John Hood went to Marine Corps vet Sam VanMatre. BELOW, three legionnaires, all Vietnam veterans, were presented plaques in recognition of 60 years of continuous membership by Post Commander John Hood.

Council on Aging seeks holistic equipment funding By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A proposal for a funding grant with which to purchase holistic equipment for the Wellness Center at the Senior Citizens Center has been filed with the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation by the Meigs County Council on Aging. Beth Shaver, executive director, said the new equipment the agency wants to purchase is geared to improving the balance, strength and flexibility of elderly residents. The goal is to improve the physical ability of seniors so that they can remain in their own homes as they age. An emphasis of aging agencies, and the preference of most seniors, is on “aging in place” The Osteopathic Heritage Foundation reportedly has funds totaling $200,000 to be divided between Meigs and Vinton counties. Shaver has submitted a proposal but before any decision can be made, representatives of the Foundation will be making a site visit. Meanwhile, needed appearance improvements are being made at the Meigs Senior Center. As Shaver said, “If you want people to invest, you have to look good,” adding that “the work being done really needed to be done anyway.” See FUNDING | A6 Sojourners celebrates ‘Safe Place Week’ Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide.

Ohio Libertarians file appeal to get on May ballot COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Libertarian Party of Ohio appealed a federal judge’s order Thursday in an effort to get its gubernatorial candidate on the May primary ballot. Attorneys for the party also asked the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati to compel Ohio’s elections chief to ask for an exemption to avoid printing the primary ballots, which are slated to be mailed to certain military and overseas voters on Saturday. Some local election boards have already printed primary ballots, while others can print them right before mailing them. Earl’s candidacy would have the potential to draw votes from Republican Gov. John Kasich as the incumbent faces likely Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive. Secretary of State Jon Husted had disqualified gubernatorial contender Charlie Earl and the Libertarian candidate for attorney general, Steven Linnabary, after their nominating petitions were challenged on two grounds: that signature gatherers failed to comply with Ohio laws requiring them to be either Libertarian or political independents and another requiring them to disclose their employer. Husted agreed with a hearing officer who found that two Earl petitioners failed to properly disclose their employers. Libertarians sought to reinstate Earl’s ballot status, arguing that Husted’s ruling violated petition circulators’ First Amendment rights and conflicted with previous state rulings allowing them to submit signatures without declaring an employer. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson ruled against the request, concluding that the law challenged by the party “places only a minimal burden on political speech and the disclosures it requires are substantially related to Ohio’s significant interest in deterring and detecting fraud in the candidate petition process.” Separately, Linnabary is asking the Ohio Supreme Court force Husted to certify his candidacy and place him on the May 6 ballot. Attorneys for Linnabary argue that the man who protested his petitions lacked standing to do so. Linnabary’s attorneys also contend the law does not require certain petition circulators to disclose employment because, as independent contractors, they are not employed in the traditional meaning of the word. The state was expected to respond to Linnabary’s case in a high court filing on Thursday.

Two Taliban attacks in Afghanistan show dangers loom KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Four gunmen with pistols stuffed into their socks attacked a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners in Afghanistan’s capital Thursday, just hours after militants killed 11 people in an audacious assault on a police station in eastern Afghanistan. All the assailants were killed in both standoffs, but made their point: Afghan forces face a huge challenge in securing upcoming elections in what will be a major test of their abilities as foreign troops wind down their combat mission at the end of this year. The attacks show the Taliban are following through on their threat to use violence to the disrupt April 5 vote, which will be the first democratic transfer of power since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion that ousted the Islamic militant movement. President Hamid Karzai is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the assault on the Serena hotel and the earlier attack in Jalalabad, an economic hub near the border with Pakistan. “Our people, if they decide to attack any place, they can do it,” he said. The violence began before dawn Thursday when a suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden car outside the police station in Jalalabad, located near the palatial residence of Nangarhar provincial Gov. Attaullah Ludin. Six gunmen rushed into the station as two more bombs exploded nearby — one hidden in a motorized rickshaw and another in a vegetable cart. That prompted a fierce battle that lasted more than four hours, with Afghan police and soldiers chasing gunmen down the street amid gunfire and smoke billowing into the blue sky. Security forces killed seven attackers, deputy Interior Minister Gen. Mohammad Ayub Salangi said. Police said the attack killed 10 officers, including a city district police chief, and a university student caught in the crossfire and wounded 15 policemen. The Taliban spokesman Mujahid said the attackers wore suicide vests and killed nearly 30 police officers. The Islamic militant group frequently exaggerates casualty figures. The initial suicide bombing badly damaged the nearby state-run Afghan radio and television building, shattering its windows. The Taliban have carried out numerous attacks in Jalalabad, Kabul and elsewhere in the east. But the choice of a police station as a target reflected an effort to show they can still penetrate heavily secured areas despite numerous U.S. and Afghan offensives against them in recent years. Hours later, four young men entered the Serena hotel — considered one of the safest places to stay in Kabul — at about 6 p.m., telling guards they were going to dinner, officials said. To enter the hotel, guests must pass through an exterior gate and undergo a metal detector search and pat down. Inside they drew the pistols hidden in their socks and opened fire, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. Bursts of gunfire could be heard from outside the hotel as Afghan troops cordoned off the area. A hotel worker named Gulam Ali told his brother over his cellphone that all the guests and staff members had taken refuge in the basement. “Everybody’s fine,” he told his brother Mohammed Nabil, who let an Associated Press reporter listen to the conversation. “Foreigners, workers, everybody is in the basement.” The attackers appeared to be about 18 years old and all had been killed, Sediqqi said, adding that gunfire wounded two hotel security guards.

Page A4 Friday, March 21, 2014 New Beginning UM Church welcomes pastor POMEROY — Alethata Botts is the new pastor of the New Beginnings United Methodist Church in Pomeroy. The Columbus native who formerly pastored two churches, one at Tarlton in Pickaway County, and the other in South Perry in Laurelville in Hocking County, assumed the pastoral work of the Pomeroy church on March 2. She is a 2013 graduate of the Methodist Theological School of Ohio. She and her husband, Thomas, a licensed electrician, have moved into the Methodist Parsonage at 211 Mulberry Ave. in Pomeroy. The Rev. Mrs. Botts was very complimentary about her welcome into the community and expressed her enthusiasm for having the opportunity to live in a small town. She said she looks forward to continuing the various activities of the church, including the Alive at Five contemporary worship service that is open to all ages and denominations, and perhaps initiating a Wednesday night Bible study following the regular choir practice. Prior to entering the ministry, she worked for many years in the state Attorney General’s Office in Columbus. The Rev. Mrs. Alethata Botts Sonshine Circle donates school supplies RACINE — Sonshine Circle met at the church March 13, with Kathryn Hart opening the meeting with a reading from “The Daily Bread” and scripture Isaiah 40:29, followed with prayer by Evelyn Foreman.

Two parts of the process were from the effects of his difficult season. considered in last week’s writing: The man’s encouragement offered an calling out on God, and defining the out-of-the-box perspective.

Besides, how can one ever ing mercy to Jerusalem in that city’s have the prospect of getting over per- sonal pain if one does not have faith in God? In his calling out on God, the Psalmist had been desperate for God to hear and answer him. But, at this point, he expresses stronger faith. His faith was that God “will hear the prayer of the destitute,” and that God “has looked down from the height of His sanctuary…to hear the groaning of the prisoner and to loosen him.” He had gotten a shot of faith in the joints of his personal pain, which made him feel better. You got faith? Trusting God always makes a person feel better for every circumstance. Getting over personal pain involves one more part of the process as revealed by the Psalmist. He resolved to a settling to weakness for victory. He says that God “weakened my strength in the way.” Why did God do that? It was for the purpose of getting the Psalmist’s self out of the way! The Psalmist became settled that it was important to get self out of the way if it was ever possible to gain deliverance from his terrible and hurtful personal pain. There is a straight Scriptural line that can be drawn directly on this account to the Apostle Paul, whose personal pain was only resolved when he realized that the strength of God is truly manifested when he came to terms with his weakness. Paul concluded that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, and that “when I am weak, then I am strong.” The Psalmist apparently had concluded the same. What about you? Knowing His will Have you ever felt torn between what is, what should have, or what could have been? Plagued by the “what ifs”? “If only I had not done that … said that … gone there. What if (fill in the blank)?” Have you ever been desperate to be in two places at the same time? Ever been disappointed that your life has turned out differently than you had dreamed? Have you ever longed for deep peace and contentment, yet they both seem to be vague or hard to get a hold of? Let me remind you that you’re not alone. Many feel the same exact way. Can I also remind you that it is not too late to place yourself in the place that God has set aside for you? I am a firm believer that God’s will is tough to find out. It is extremely tough rely on others has beto be certain of come a weakness in our God’s will when character when in fact our focus is prithe opposite is true.

To tions, and so on and so forth. In fact, we must also depend on good mechanics to fix our vehicles, etc. The difference is that dependency has carried a negative connotation when money is not involved. It appears to be a weakness of our strength. Truth is, I depend on my wife sometimes to cook (even though I know how to cook), to do our laundry and care for our kids (though I am very capable of doing that). Conversely, my wife depends on me to keep the cars and house running smooth and reliably (though she also can take care of some of that). How about you? How do you depend on others? How do others’ strengths compliment yours? By the same token, how is your dependency on God today? Your dependency on God will determine the outcome of God’s will in your life. You will be astounded as you see his will unfolding right before your very eyes. Therefore, when it comes to God’s will for our lives, he wants us to seek him for the answer, depend on his abilities and rely on his wisdom rather than merely ours. God’s will is not difficult to know if approached with a willing dependable and submissive heart. God is pleased to show us and give us exactly what we need, and even many times what we want. “For it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32 The Rev. Alex Colón is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis, Ohio.

A second performance is scheduled for 8 p.m. March 29. Admission for either performance is $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. Written by Jason Robert Brown, “Songs for a New World” is a series of songs connected around one theme: the moment of decision. With 17 total songs and numerous short transitions, the production takes the audience from a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, with various stops in between. Voice professor Valerie Tanner selected “Songs for a New World” to showcase the music department’s strengths. “Yes, we are small. We don’t have open auditions that last for days. But what’s nice about that is that we can personally cater to what each student needs to maximize their development,” Tanner said. “Not a lot of schools can really say that. We’re going to help you graduate with a resume full of experience. So you can go on to graduate school with a great resume, or if you want to go into the professional arena, you will have the experience to jump right in and be successful.” Tanner said “Songs for a New World” was selected to showcase the talents of sophomore tenor Andy Knipp, along with fellow featured soloists senior Ally Waddell and junior Aryn Gritter. Senior Stephanie Cartmell and junior Brooke Wolni will perform in the chorus, and serve as understudies. “I don’t really see it as pressure, honestly. I just see it more as an opportunity to show what I can do,” said Knipp, who praised the small, communal environment of Rio Grande for its ability to offer greater personal development opportunities to each student. “The professors are just amazing, and their doors are always open. I can see a huge, huge difference in myself from where I stepped in and where I am now musically.” “Songs for a New World” features a vocally demanding score that blends the genres of pop, gospel and jazz throughout. The performance also will feature the Rio debut of accompanist Barb White. “She has been phenomenal,” Tanner said. “The score for this show is extremely challenging and she just jumped right in. I can’t say enough about her.” The performance also features area high school students alongside the Rio Grande students through an Imagine Arts grant. Michael Hambrick, Jennifer Prewitt and Rachel McCambridge will represent Waverly High School, with Makenzie tion. The idea is to drive home the notion that terrible things such as addiction can happen to anyone. The beautiful woman mentioned above had it all. She was an outdoors enthusiast who owned a popular sporting goods business in Illinois. Heroin took her life. A judge’s involvement with heroin came to light after a fellow judge’s cocaine-related death.

Moorman from Piketon High School and Katelyn Beaver from Ohio Valley Christian. “There is a lot of talent throughout this region,” Tanner said. “The Rio Grande music department takes a lot of pride in providing a public forum to showcase that talent, as well and the opportunity to cultivate that talent into successful careers.” Tanner hopes to see the high school partici- pation grow continue to grow. She has opened the dress rehearsal on March 27 to all interested music students from District 16 and 17 — 37 total schools. vive this terrible addiction. Hope is the word that people cling to: The hope of being able to fight off the drug’s demons one more day; the hope of being that responsible parent again; the hope of saving a child’s life; and the hope of keeping a community safe. This project began in January. I have since lost count of the deaths and arrests made during that short three months in the many communities where Civitas owns newspapers. The tragedies never take a day off or slow down — not in even in places like Gallipolis, Pomeroy or Point Pleasant. The questions continue to be raised: Why would a person fool around with heroin? What are the warning signs of abuse? How can you help someone work through an addiction? What’s the toll of abuse on a family and a community? We found the questions are many, the answers are fewer, and they come filled with pain. Abuse From Page A1 It’s a cheap drug that regards human life even more cheaply. In that sense, we chose to kick off the series with photographs of people who have struggled — even died — from heroin addic- Jim Krumel is the editor of the Lima (Ohio) News.

The Center room where many activities take place, not only for the senior citizens but for the community, has been redecorated and other improvements are in the planning stage. Next week, the old automatic doors which haven’t worked for a long time will be replaced with doors that open and close from the side, making it easier and safer — particularly for seniors and children entering the building. Funding of $8,000 for the replacement doors came from the Ohio Children’s Foundation after a summer food program for children was carried out last year. The new doors are scheduled to be installed Monday. Shaver said tentative plans are being made to carry out a summer food program for students again this summer, although funding for that has not yet been confirmed. While improvements are now being made to the center, she said this does not deter plans for an eventual move to the old Middleport High School building, although she said that is “several years down the road.” Currently, attorneys are working on making the transfer (sale) from Middleport Village to the Meigs County Council on Aging. Meanwhile funding sources for renovation are being explored. Safe From Page A1 A Freedom Equity Line of Credit is your ticket to travel.

Safe Place sites in Gallia County are Gallia Academy High School, Gallia Academy Middle School, Gallia Metropolitan Housing, Once Again, Silver Screen VII, and South Gallia High School. Safe Place is a national youth outreach program that educates thousands of young people every year about the dangers of running away or trying to resolve difficult, threatening situations on their own. This easily-replicated initiative involves the whole community to provide safe havens and resources for youth in crisis. Safe Place creates a network of Safe Place locations — schools, fire stations, libraries, grocery and convenience stores, public transit, YMCAs and other appropriate public buildings — that display the yellow and black diamond-shaped Safe Place sign. These locations extend the doors of the youth service agency or emergency shelter throughout the community. Youth can easily access immediate help wherever they are. Each year between 1.6 and 2.8 million youth run away from home. They leave home to escape abuse or neglect, drug or alcohol abuse by family members, or because they’re told to leave. Sometimes, youth feel that they don’t belong, and leaving home is often not a choice they want to make. They often face other difficult issues — problems at home, issues at school, trouble with peers, being locked out of the house, riding with an unsafe driver, or being in a dangerous situation on a date. No matter what the reason, young people have a safe alternative. They can go to any designated Safe Place site to get immediate help. Sojourners is an assetbased youth development organization serving Appalachian Ohio. A nonprofit organization founded early in 1999, Sojourners fosters positive opportunities for children and young adults living in some of the most distressed counties of Appalachia. The organization provides a variety of programs including foster care and adoption, runaway and homeless youth services, employment training, diploma and GED support, mentoring, leadership training and service learning opportunities.

The Benham, Kentucky, native earned the starting point guard position as a true freshman in 1961-62 thanks to his athletic talents and advanced basketball IQ. Bickerstaff led Rio Grande to a winning record averaging 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals per game. University of Rio Grande Presi- dent Dr. Barbara Gellman-Danley will induct coach Bickerstaff at halftime of the Cavaliers’ game against the Houston Rockets, where Bernie’s son, John-Blair, is an assistant coach. “Coach Bickerstaff is a true champion of character, both on and off the court,” Dr. Gellman-Danley said. “His collegiate exploits and continued accomplishments as an engaged citizen embody the spirit of Rio Grande. It is a tremendous honor to induct coach Bickerstaff into the University of Rio Grande Athletic Hall of Fame.” Founded in 1876 and nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of southeastern Ohio, the University of Rio Grande serves as an oasis of learning, innovation and technology. The 190-arce residential campus strikes a balance of liberal arts and experiential learning to prepare students for successful lives as responsible citizens in a culturally diverse, global community. An epicenter of cultural enrichment, Rio offers students a nurturing environment focused on the needs of the individual with a student-faculty ratio of 16:1 and a plethora of extracurricular activities ranging from Student Senate to Greek life, and intercollegiate athletics.

As a team, Shawnee State finished fourth with a team score of 641 during its home event. Bluefield State finished with an even 600 team score to best second-place Pikeville by 15 strokes.

His score of 153 was eight shots off the pace of Bluefield State medalist’s Tyler Browning’s score of 145. Browning bested the field by four shots. Saunders tied for the tournament lead with eight birdies over the two rounds. He finished twounder-par on par-5 holes. He was three-over-par on par-3 holes and five-overpar on par-4 situations. All three of those situational scores were just two shots off of the type individual at each par length. Rob Pell, a junior from West Union, Ohio, fired an identical 79 to match BUFFALO, N.Y.

It no longer runs through Columbus after Vee Sanford’s layup with 3.8 seconds left secured 11thseeded Dayton’s 60-59 victory over sixth-seeded Ohio State in the second round of the of the NCAA tournament on Thursday. “I guess they called us the little brother, or whatever,” Flyers guard Jordan Sibert said. “We can’t be called that anymore.” Sibert has seen it from both sides after transferring to Dayton following two seasons at Ohio State. “To be able to go out there and play with this group of guys, to be able to come up with this win, it’s unbelievable,” Sibert said. Leave it to another transfer, Sanford, to secure the victory in a backand-forth game that featured 15 lead changes between two schools separated by some 75 miles. After Ohio State’s Aaron Craft hit a reverse layup with 15.5 seconds remaining, the Flyers set up a play during a timeout with 10.8 seconds left. Dayton inbounded the ball and worked it to Sanford on the right wing. Driving the lane without hesitation, he got a step on Craft and laid in a shot from about 4 feet away. “No, I wasn’t nervous,” said San- ford, who transferred to Dayton from Georgetown. “We’ve drawn up a play like that, and I messed it up previously. But (coach Archie Miller) just kept his trust in me, and I’m just thankful that the shot went in.” Sanford finished with 10 points, while Dyshawn Pierre led Dayton with 12 points. For Miller, in his third year, the win came against his former mentor, Thad Matta. The Flyers (24-10), of the Atlantic-10 Conference, who have won 11 of 13, advance to play Syracuse, the South Region’s third seed on Saturday. The Orange routed Western Michigan 77-53 in their secondround game. It’s one and done for the Big Ten Conference Buckeyes (25-10), who were eliminated in the first game for only the third time in 26th tournament appearances. This season, Ohio State got off to a 15-0 start, and then stumbled down the stretch, splitting its final 20 games. The loss marked the end for three seniors, including Craft, who were part of a team that had advanced past the third round in each of the previous three years. Craft had a chance to pull out the win. Driving the length of the court on the Buckeye’s last possession, Craft bulled his way through three defend- his score from the opening day. His two-round total of 158 placed him second on the team and 16th overall in the field. Pell was also three-over-par on par-3 holes and finished with 19 total pars over his two rounds. Josh Zornes, a sophomore from Ironton, Ohio, shot 84 on Saturday to finish with a total score of 158. That placed him 20th among all individuals. Austin Fawley, a freshman from Buford, Ohio, cut one stroke off his score from yesterday as he shot 85 to finish with a total of 161 for the tournament. Fawley placed 26th at the end of the tournament as the de facto No. 4 for the Bears. Dakota Robinson, a freshman from Marysville, Ohio, competed as an individual for the team and finished with a two-day total of 200 to place 33rd. As a team, Shawnee State was second overall in par-3 (plus-20) and par4 scoring (plus-36). The Bears finished nine-overpar combined on par-5 holes, while all three of the top teams had scores in the red on these holes. Shawnee State made 16 total birdies and 62 pars, both of which ranked fourth in the field.

Craft remained on his back in disappointment as the Flyers rushed to celebrate at their bench at the other end of the court. “I just wanted to do everything I could to help our team win, and down the stretch I couldn’t do that today,” Craft said. “I can take the blame for that.” Sam Thompson led Ohio State with 18 points, and Craft scored 16. Craft had no time for questions about whether Dayton can stake claim to being the state’s better basketball school for one year at least. “Sorry, I have zero thoughts on that right now,” he said. “I’m upset at the way we played this game, and the way we didn’t take the opportunity and make the most of it.” Craft was involved in a questionable play when he draped his arms around Sibert and was called for an intentional foul with 2:35 left. Sibert hit both free-throws to put Dayton up 55-52, but the Flyers couldn’t score on the ensuing possession. Craft made up for that at the other end, when he was fouled while hitting a 6-footer, and then completed the three-point play.

Now it’s official. The 6-foot-6 Franklin High School junior is a unanimous choice as winner of the Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball award. Even though he was a firstteam all-stater in football, make no mistake about it: He’s a bluechipper in basketball. His final five are Duke, Ohio State, Kentucky, North Carolina and Michigan. “It’s just been my favorite sport growing up,” he said. “My dad likes to tell people that I was born with a ball in my hands. Basketball comes a little bit more natu- rally to me. I just think it would be neat to be in that kind of atmosphere in college.” Kennard’s numbers on the court are staggering. He averaged 41 points, 10.4 rebounds, four assists and two steals a game. He scored 50 or more three times while shooting over 50 percent from the field, 42 percent on 3-pointers and 85 percent at the line. Add the fact that last fall as a quarterback he completed 162 of 276 passes for 2,145 yards and 26 touchdowns with just five interceptions and it’s easy to see why people rave about his athletic acumen. “Not to put down other kids, or to seem boastful, but he just seemed like he was playing chess and the other kids were playing checkers,” said Brian Bales, his coach at Franklin. “He’s two plays ahead of everybody. He’s kind of like that on a football field. It’s amazing. It’ll be a dead play and all of a sudden he makes something out of it.” This basketball season, he led Franklin — located not far from Middletown, hometown of the legendary Jerry Lucas — to a 20-4 record. The Wildcats have won 35 consecutive conference games. They also traveled all around the country, showcasing their star player and exposing him to some of the best players and trickiest defenses imaginable. Everybody has tried to stop Kennard. And with little luck. “This year? I’ve probably seen them all,” he said of the array of defenses. Asked the weirdest X’s and O’s he encountered, Kennard laughed and remembered an early-season game against Oxford Talawanda. “Oh, man. There was a guy face-guarding me, it wasn’t really a box-and-1,” he said. “It was like a 1-1-2 with a guy standing right on me.” Kennard isn’t just a leader on the court or on the field. He carries a 4.3 grade-point average and is near the top in his class academically. His dad, Mark, works in a bank and played college ball at Georgetown, Ky., where Luke’s sister, Lauren, is a senior. His mom, Jennifer, is a substitute teacher. During the summer, Luke, who throws a football right-handed but is a lefty shooter in basketball, has played on the King James AAU team which features many of the top players in the state. Luke is a marquee player wherever his teams play. “After games, it’s nothing for him to sign autographs for 30 or 45 minutes,” Bales said. “And that’s even in showcases. We’ve been to Myrtle Beach, and he’s the No. 1 player they want autographs from and that’s probably the best event in America. Flyin’ To The Hoop, there was a line for 45 minutes with him signing autographs after that game.” His signature will be mighty valuable to a college team soon. He expects to scribble his name on a letter of intent in the next month or so. “It’ll be pretty nice to get it over with and to be able to enjoy my next year and kind of get the pressure off,” he said. “I’m kind of looking forward to it.” Past winners of the Ohio AP Mr. Basketball award, determined by a vote of sports journalists from around the state, include NBA players LeBron James (the only three-time winner), O.J. Mayo, Trey Burke and Jared Sullinger. Others considered this year include Elida’s Dakota Mathias, Javon Bess of Gahanna Lincoln, Esa Ahmad of Shaker Heights, Brady Arnold of Millersburg West Holmes and Peyton Aldridge of Leavittsburg LaBrae. Reds’ Chapman ‘lucky’ to have only broken bone GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was undergoing surgery Thursday to repair a broken bone above his left eye but has no other serious injuries after being hit in the face by a line drive in a spring training game. Team medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek said Chapman could begin throwing off a mound in six to eight weeks, a timetable that could get him back in games in late May. The left-hander with a fastball that has reached 105 mph could start exercising and throwing on flat ground in a couple of weeks, Kremchek said. The doctor called Chapman “a very lucky guy.” Kremchek said a metal plate will be inserted in the bone above Chapman’s left eyebrow, with perhaps a bone graft as well, and will remain there permanently. Chapman has a very mild concussion but no other brain injury and no injury to his eye, Kremchek said. “He’s feeling better and he has some pain management. We’re optimistic that he is going to be on the mend,” Reds manager Bryan Price said after meeting with players Thursday morning at the team’s spring training facility. “Obviously, we’ll stay in touch. We will make sure we follow the process as we continue to get familiar with the injury itself. We will let him know how much support he has and that we care about him. Hopefully, we will see him here very soon.” Catcher Brayan Pena, a fellow Cuban and Chapman’s close friend, was one of several Reds players who visited the injured pitcher Wednesday night and spoke to him on the phone Thursday morning. “He was talking to me and we joked a lot,” Pena said. “He just wanted to make sure for me to tell everybody that he appreciate so much the fans’ prayers, especially our teammates, our coaching staff, everybody around, how much support and how much love he received and got from all of us.” Pena said Chapman was very happy when they spoke Thursday, “talking and joking. He was talking a lot about some Cuban jokes and that’s good because that means his memory is still working pretty good.” The frightening incident, widely available on video via the Internet, occurred in the sixth inning of Wednesday night game at Kansas City’s spring training facility in Surprise, Ariz., when the Royals’ Salvador Perez lined Chapman’s 99 mph fastball into the pitcher’s face. Chapman was knocked backward to the ground, then rolled on his face, kicking in pain. Pena rushed to the mound. “Honestly when I saw it I wanted to cry,” Pena said. “That was my first feeling because it was very scary. It was very scary because I saw the line drive going straight for his face, and then I saw him bleeding and kicking and moving around the way he was.” Pena said Chapman “wasn’t even talking. He was just like moaning and making sounds and then when I got there I panicked because I didn’t know what else to do. Then the medical staff guys got there, and those guys were great.” Chapman was taken off the field in a stretcher as the crowd fell into an eerie silence and the game was called off. The pitcher was taken to a nearby hospital, then transferred to Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix. Kremchek said he expected Chapman to remain hospitalized for a couple of days, perhaps being released on Saturday. The ball hit Chapman in one of the most protected areas of the skull, the doctor said. “If you get hit in the side of the head, that could be disastrous,” Kremchek said. “Where Aroldis got hit, you don’t want to say he got hit in a good spot because he’s undergoing surgery, but it could have been a lot worse, a lot more injuries, a lot more permanent. He’s very lucky.” The 26-year-old Chapman has a fastball that regularly tops 100 mph. The two-time All-Star defected from Cuba in 2009 and made the Reds club in his first season of 2010. He had 38 saves each of the past two seasons, with 122 strikeouts in 71 2-3 innings in 2012 and 112 strikeouts in 63 2-3- innings in 2013. Price, a former pitcher, said pitchers are in a dangerous situation, “regardless of how hard you throw.” David Santiago | El Nuevo Herald | MCT photo Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman pitches in the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park in Miami, Fla., on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. The Reds won, 4-0. “It’s hard to defend yourself from 53, 54 feet,” the manager said. “And everyone finishes their pitches differently. Everyone is not in a perfect fielding position and even if you are there is no guarantee that you can protect yourself when a ball’s hit that hard.” Major League Baseball approved a protective cap for pitchers this winter following several terrifying scenes similar to this one in the last few years. The hats were available for testing during spring training on a voluntary basis but most have rejected them. Besides, the hats would offer no protection to the face, where Chapman was hit. Chapman particularly wanted to thank the Royals organization for its support and offer assurance to Perez that it is just something that happens in baseball and was not his fault. Pena said he also felt some responsibility. “I kind of blame myself a little bit because I could have called slider or I should have called changeup,” Pena said. “That’s your thought process. Everything goes through your mind and you’re looking for answers. … You kind of put yourself in that guilt feeling.” But Chapman, Pena said, told him “‘You know, it’s not your fault. I should have thrown slower.’ I’m the one feeling very bad about it and he’s the one that’s cheering me up. He’s the one in the hospital.” Bickerstaff From Page B1 In 1973, Bickerstaff joined the NBA’s Washington Bullets (now Wizards) as an assistant coach. His NBA career included head coaching stints with the Seattle Supersonics (1985-90), Denver Nuggets (1994-96), Washington Bullets (199799), Charlotte Bobcats (2004-07) and Los Angles Lakers (2012-13). He also served numerous front office capacities, most notably as president and general manager for Denver when the Nuggets became the first eighth-seed in league history to upset the top seed in the first round of the 1994 playoffs. Bickerstaff, the 1986-87 NBA Coach of the Year, owns a 415-517 (.455) NBA head coaching record over 13 seasons. He ranks 39th on the NBA’s all-time victories list. Bickerstaff has been presented with the prestigious Horace Mann Award for Leadership (1987); named Sports Person of the Year by the New York Pro-Am Basketball Association (1987); inducted into the University of San Diego’s Hall of Fame; inducted into the West Coast Conference’s inaugural Hall of Honor; inducted into the Breitbard Hall of Fame; inducted into the John McClendon Minority Athletics Administrators Hall of Fame; and named a Kappa Legend and Icon in Sports.

Having spent two seasons at Ohio State, he was fully aware of Craft’s ability to score clutch baskets. “I thought it was going in,” Miller said, referring to Craft’s miss at the buzzer. “I’ve watched those guys win that game 1,000 times. He’s a bulldozer with the ball. He got it down there in about three dribbles and got a good look. And it ended up rimming out. And we got lucky today.” The Flyers have shown a flare for dramatics this season. Sanford’s basket marked the third time the Flyers have won a game on a shot in the final 4 seconds. Sibert hit a 3-pointer with 1 second left in an 81-80 win over IPFW on Nov. 9. Then there was Devin Oliver’s buzzer-beater in an 83-80 overtime win at Ole Miss on Jan. 4. “A lot of people were going to make a big case out of beating Thad, or beating Ohio State,” Miller said. “We didn’t get real complicated. It wasn’t about Ohio State or where they’re from, or blah, blah, blah. It was about us.” Want to advertise?

Matt Williams tried a similar trick — he put his right fielder on the grass behind the mound, only to see a bases-loaded triple fly into the vacated spot. All over the majors this year, the shift is on. From the designer defenses taking over the game, to expanded replay, to opening day on a cricket ground in Australia, baseball is changing. Those scraggly beards of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox? Shaved off, mostly. Soon Derek Jeter will be gone, too. “You can’t do this forever,” the Yankees captain said. “I’d like to, but you can’t do it forever.” Ryan Braun and the Biogenesis bunch are back in, reckless crashing into catchers is an automatic out. Robinson Cano, Shin-Soo Choo and Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka changed sides, as did Jacoby Ellsbury, Prince Fielder and Curtis Granderson. Plus, there’s a rookie with real pedigree — sweet Hank the Dog got a second chance. He found a home in Milwaukee; no telling if he’ll later visit Petco Park. This spring has been much rougher for others. Even before the Dodgers and Diamondbacks started the season in Sydney, Major League Baseball’s first regular-season games Down Under, there were serious setbacks. Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy, Jarrod Parker and Luke Hochevar already are out for the year with Tommy John surgery, and Patrick Corbin may soon join them. Aroldis Chapman likely will miss at least two months after getting hit on the head by a line drive. There was no defense for that, not even those protective caps now in play for pitchers likely would’ve saved the Cincinnati reliever. Defense, though, has rapidly become a major focus in the majors.

Be it Dodger Stadium or Fenway Park or anywhere in-between, it’s easy to spot the trend taking over baseball: Creative ways that clubs are positioning their fielders. The Detroit Tigers even hired a defensive coordinator. Ever expect to hear about a defensive coordinator in baseball? Matt Martin got that job, and pointed to the overloaded alignments Red Sox slugger David Ortiz sees on a daily basis. “That’s not out of the norm now. That is the norm. With lefthanders, if you’d have seen this 25 years ago, the way they play Big Papi — and 15, 20 guys in the league playing like that — you’d be, ‘What happened? Did I wake up and come to a softball game?’” Makes perfect sense to Pittsburgh second baseman Neil Walker. “The data is so undeniable, the defensive metrics are so prevalent,” he said. “You have so much more information, you should use it.” “There were some times a few years ago when I felt out of place,” he admitted. “I was out there in right field and kind of like, ‘Where am I supposed to be?’ But we practice it, I practice my throws from extreme angles and I’m comfortable.” An hour later, Walker was standing in shallow right when Phillies slugger Ryan Howard batted in a spring training game. Walker made a diving stop on a hard grounder, scrambled to his feet, but threw the ball past first base. “It’s not an exact science,” he said. Fielding always lagged far behind pitching and hitting in statistical analysis, mainly because it was hard to quantify glovework. Teams are trying hard to play catchup. Baseball Info Solutions tracks defensive shifts, and reports there were 8,134 instances in the majors last season. That’s way up from 4,577 in 2012, and far more than the 2,358 in 2011. “It’s not as much fun as it used to be,” Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon lamented. “Everybody’s using it.” Maddon is a shifting maven, having employed four-man outfields and routinely putting three players on one side of the dirt at different depths. In a recent exhibition, with a runner on third base, Maddon overshifted his infield in the middle of an at-bat. No luck. A wild pitch scored the run. Maddon has a theory on why it took teams so many years to shift around. “They were afraid they might be wrong,” he said. “But it always made sense to adjust your fielders. Why would you play someone in a place where a guy never hits it?” And if a big bopper tries to bunt down the unprotected third base line, that’s OK. “There are times when I’m begging him to bunt against us,” Maddon said. Scioscia’s strategy paid off this month for the Los Angeles Angels when his repositioned left fielder handled a grounder and began a bases-loaded DP in extra innings. Williams, Washington’s first-year manager, tried something with the bases loaded in the eighth and paid the price. Offered San Diego manager Bud Black: “Yes, my thinking has changed.” “We will move,” he said. So will the Reds, after new Cincinnati manager Bryan Price talks to his men on the mound. “Pitchers can be pretty temperamental about defensive alignment. We know that,” he said. “We want to have the discussion beforehand, not after.” St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak wants to start earlier, letting his minor leaguers get accustomed to moving. Minnesota’s Jason Kubel has been on the other side a lot. The lefty hitter debuted a decade ago and rarely saw defensive shifts, if ever. Against the Yankees this month, he faced three fielders on the right side every at-bat. “Now, I think it would be weird if I came up and saw that nobody was moved,” Kubel said. 12th-seeded Harvard upsets 5th-seed Cincinnati 61-57 SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Those kids from Harvard are getting a passing grade when it comes to the first game of the NCAA tournament. Ask New Mexico last year. Ask Cincinnati now. Siyani Chambers scored 11 points, including five straight in the final two minutes, and 12th-seeded Harvard won its second NCAA tournament game in history, upsetting Cincinnati 61-57 Thursday. Wesley Saunders led the Crimson (27-4) with 12 points as Harvard proved last year’s upset of New Mexico as a 14 seed was no fluke. The Crimson became the first Ivy League school with NCAA tournament wins in consecutive years since Princeton in 1983-84. They will play either Michigan State or Delaware in the third round. Harvard never trailed after the opening moments. They played with confidence and scrap against the No. 5 seed Bearcats, who shared the American Athletic Conference regu- Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com lar season title. Sean Kilpatrick led seed Cincinnati (27-7) with 18 points, but the Bearcats failed to win a tournament game for the second straight year. There was a reason Harvard was a popular upset pick. Even President Barack Obama had the Crimson taking out the Bearcats. The reason: defense and balance. All five starters averaged in double figures for the season and that balance was needed against Cincinnati’s aggressive defense. Laurent Rivard, the Crimson’s 3-point specialist, finished with 11 points, while Steve Moundou-Missi and Brandyn Curry both scored nine. Harvard also improved to 15-0 this season when holding its opponent to 60 points or less. They entered the tournament with the 13th best scoring defense in the country. That defense helped overcome a shaky performance at the free throw line where Harvard was 17 of 28. Cincinnati had its chances. Justin Jackson finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds, but the Bearcats shot only 37 percent and missed a number of shots around the rim. Harvard withstood the early second-half push from the Bearcats. Jackson’s dunk while being fouled and subsequent free throw pulled Cincinnati within 42-39 and Titus Rubles’ driving layup later trimmed the margin to 45-43. The Crimson then forced turnovers on three straight Bearcats’ possessions. Saunders flipped in a driving finger roll to push the lead to five. As Harvard went to the bench for a timeout, Chambers grinned and coach Tommy Amaker pumped his fists in approval. Harvard was not going to be denied another moment. They got second and third chances at their own misses. They littered the floor scrounging for loose balls. Cincinnati went more than five minutes without scoring. But the Bearcats fought back and cut the lead to one before Chambers stepped up. He hit a pullup 17-footer with 1:57 left for a 56-53 lead. Kyle Casey then drew an offensive foul against Kilpatrick with 1:33 left. Chambers hit a trio of free throws in the final minute and Saunders sealed it hitting a pair with 11 seconds left, setting off the celebration.

Austin (31-2) MIDWEST REGIONAL MCT FILE PHOTO Florida Gulf Coast became the first 15 seed to make the Sweet 16 round last year and has become the inspiration for smaller schools in this year’s tournament. March that left them out of the Big Dance then. "It was definitely disappointing but it's definitely fueled our engines for this year. We've been playing with a chip on our shoulder," said Jacob Parker, the floppy-haired junior forward who was the Southland Conference Player of the Year. "We always say one team, one dream. And coach's big motto is dream big." Ivy league champion Harvard (26-4) is in its third consecutive NCAA tournament after a 66year drought, and is a No. 12 seed against Cincinnati. The Crimson got their first NCAA tourney win last year as a No. 14 seed, upsetting New Mexico 6862. But Harvard's lone victory last March was overshadowed by that No. 15 seed from "Dunk City." One of the No. 15 seeds this season is Eastern Kentucky (249), an OVC team that is among the national leaders for made 3pointers (9.2 per game) and steals (8.8). The Colonels' first NCAA tournament game since 2007 is Friday against Big 12 regular-season champion Kansas (24-9). The other 15s are Patriot champion American playing Wisconsin; Southern Conference winner Wofford taking on Michigan, a Final Four team last year; and Horizon champ Milwaukee against Villanova. MAAC champ Manhattan (257) got in the field for the first time since 2004, when as a No. 12 seed the Jaspers won a firstround game against Florida. They also won as a No. 13 seed against Oklahoma in the 1995 tourney. This time, they are a No. 13 again and take on defending national champion Louisville in the Midwest. North Dakota State has won three consecutive FCS national football championships, but the Bison (25-6) are in the NCAA basketball tournament for only the second time — a No. 12 seed facing Oklahoma (23-9) of the Big 12. The Summit League champion Bison are the nation's best shooting team, making 51 percent of their field goals this season, and also are one of only 13 teams with less than 10 turnovers a game. The Blue Hens from Delaware (25-9) won the Colonial Athletic Association championship game on a late field goal by 6-foot-9 forward Carl Baptiste, who finished with a career-best 24 points.

Florida Gulf Coast, which last year became the first No. 15 seed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen, isn't in this 68-team field after losing at home to Mercer in the Atlantic Sun Conference championship game. So can those Bears (26-8) from Macon, Ga., duplicate what their Atlantic Sun rival did last year? Will another double-digit seed step up in all the madness this year? Maybe it could be the team from deep in the heart of Texas with a 28-game winning streak. Or possibly some Fightin' Blue Hens, Chanticleers or Jaspers. Mercer's five senior starters are at least getting a chance they felt was missed last March. The Bears drew a No. 14 seed in the loaded Midwest Regional and play Duke on Friday in Raleigh, N.C. While watching FGCU's captivating NCAA run last year, after the Eagles won at Mercer for the Atlantic Sun title, all that went through Bears guard Langston Hall's mind was, "That could have been us." Stephen F. Austin (31-2), the Southland Conference team from Nacogdoches, Texas, hasn't lost in nearly four months — only No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Wichita State have won more games. The Lumberjacks, a No. 12 seed facing VCU on Friday, were also motivated this season by a conference championship loss last FIRST ROUND � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
