A unanimous vote of Council ended the tenure of McAngus, who was elected as mayor of Pomeroy in November 2011 and began her term in January 2012. McAngus submitted her resignation in a sealed envelope on Saturday to council member Victor Young, who along with Council President Jackie Welker, opened the letter Saturday afternoon. The letter which was read by Welker and obtained by The Daily Sentinel, reads as follows: To the Resident of the Village of Pomeroy, Ohio, Due to circumstances, I am resigning my position as Mayor of Pomeroy, as of today, Saturday, February, 9, 2013. It has been a pleasure for me to serve the ones that have supported me. Thank you, Mary McAngus McAngus’ resignation comes amid allegation of discrimination against an openly gay officer which attracted a national media fire storm regarding the small village. McAngus did not address the specific allegations in the letter and has not commented since an emergency meeting of Pomeroy Village Council was held a week ago. McAngus did not return calls made on Friday or Monday. She simply stated Thursday that she had no comment. As for where the village goes from here, Ohio Revised Code 733.25, reads in part, In case of the death, resignation, or removal of the mayor, such president pro tempore shall become the mayor and shall hold the office until his successor is elected and qualified. Such successor shall be elected to the office for the unexpired term, at the first regular municipal election that occurs more than forty days after the vacancy has occurred. Welker, as president of Council, will fill the position until the time at which the election is held and the winner of the election determined to be qualified to take office. Welker has been working with the Board of Elections and Village Solicitor Michael Barr to determine how to proceed with filling the position for the remainder of McAngus’ term. Welker said the position will likely appear on the November general election ballot. No action was planned for Monday’s meeting to fill the seat which was held by Welker. The vacancy must be filled by appointment through council within 30 days.

That was the message being relayed by Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt and acting Mayor Jackie Welker on Monday as Pomeroy Village Council prepared to formally accept the resignation of Mary McAngus as mayor of Pomeroy. Welker said that the village is looking to put this behind them and move forward. He added that the village needs to put policies and procedures in place to ensure that something of this nature does not happen again. Welker also expressed his full support and con- fidence for all village employees moving forward. This sentiment was echoed by Proffitt with regard to Officer Kyle Calendine, the target of alleged discrimination in the Village, and the rest of those involved in the recent events. A written statement by Proffitt on Monday afternoon read, Officer Kyle Calendine has my confidence as an Officer and I will be honored to continue working with him.

Sandra Edwards, emergency service division director for the Gallia-Meigs CAA, announced that $5,068 in Gallia County and $5,069 in Meigs County is for supplement targeted emergency programs for Gallia and Meigs county residents, to be used this winter. It will made available as soon as the grants are approved, she said. The reallocation was made by the National Board composed of affiliates of national voluntary organizations and chaired by the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP). United Way of America will provide the administrative staff and function as the fiscal agent. The Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need around the country. A local board composed of Gallia and Meigs county citizens will determine how the funds awarded to the counties are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service organizations in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local governmental or private voluntary organizations chosen to receive funds must: 1) be nonprofit; 2) have an accounting system and conduct an annual audit; 3) practice non-discrimination; 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs; and 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they should have a voluntary board. Gallia and Meigs counties have distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with the Gallia-Meigs CAA and the Gallia County Council on Aging participating. These agencies were responsible for providing numerous meals, in addition to housing and utility assistance. Further information on the program may be obtained by contacting Edwards at the Community Action Agency at 367-7341 or 992-6629. MEIGS COUNTY — One person has been charged with felonious assault and underage consumption following a stabbing on Friday night. Logan Grate, 19, is currently in the Meigs County Jail facing both charges. According to a news release from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a call of a stabbing on Eden Ridge Road. Upon arrival, deputies found Andrew Reed with a badly cut arm. Reed stated that he had been attacked by two men that he knew. Reed was reportedly able to disarm one of the attackers, but another knife appeared and he had to continue to fight. The two suspects fled in a light colored Ford. Reed was transported to Camden Clark Memorial Hospital in Parkersburg, W.Va. Both suspects were apprehended at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday by deputies and interviewed at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. Grate was then charged with felonious assault and underage consumption. Also on Friday, the Sheriff’s Office received a call of the body of a adult male found deceased at his home in the Rutland area. The death is not considered suspicious at this time. The body has been sent for an autopsy. The name and address are being withheld at this time. �Tuesday, February 12, 2013 Local Briefs The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Community Calendar Park Board having basket games Tuesday, Feb. 12 Meigs County Board of Daniel Fulton invites the ing their “3rd Friday” SYRACUSE — The Star Mill Park Board will have basPOMEROY — The Health meeting will take public to join in the food lunch at Fox’s Pizza Den, ket games at the Syracuse Community Center beginning Meigs County Board of place at 5 p.m. in the con- and fellowship. 518 E.

Member SIPC. Three plead guilty to falsifying Ohio permits COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Three central Ohio men will serve three years on probation after admitting they falsified concealed-carry weapons training certificates, leading to the invalidation of hundreds of state licenses. Franklin County sheriff’s deputies arrested the men over the summer. Authorities said the men had issued falsified training certificates to several hundred people with concealed-carry licenses. Franklin County Chief Deputy Marty Buechner told The Columbus Dispatch that about 300 recipients turned in their licenses after they were notified of the problems. About 200 people were issued new licenses after receiving the proper training, and others did not seek new licenses or haven’t finished the training, he said. Pleading guilty to five counts of falsification to obtain a concealed handgun license were Adam M. Chaykin, 42; Ken E. Fouch, 48; and John M. Marshall, 63. All were also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and complete 100 hours of community service. �Tuesday, February 12, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Ask Dr. Brothers Employee plays Pope to resign Feb. 28, says he’s too infirm up to managers goes yesterday.

Dear F.G.: Transitioning back to work when you have been a stay-at-home mom for several years always is a daunting proposition. It is inevitable that some of your priorities have changed, and you may feel that you don’t quite know who you are anymore. Will you want to leap back onto the fast track, or will you be content to do the 9-to-5 and hightail it home to your family? Or will you quickly get back in the groove and secretly wish you didn’t have so many other responsibilities waiting at home? There’s really no sure way of knowing yet. You can begin now to sort out your feelings about where life will take you in the future, and make sure you are in charge of your own destiny. You haven’t lost your work skills — being in charge of two children and running the household should count for something. But oddly enough, the more effort you put in at home, the less likely it is that you will want to make the sacrifices required to go back to work with guns figuratively blazing. A new study out of Emory University examined the role of women as decision-makers at home and the difficulty of translating that status to that of leader in the workplace.

(c) 2013 by King Features Syndicate Ohio Board reviews strategies to overhaul tuition model CHILLICOTHE — At meetings on the University’s Chillicothe campus, the Ohio University Board of Trustees reviewed ways in which the university can meet expectations for continued progress on its academic mission while developing approaches to tuition and scholarships that support students and their families. On Thursday, during a joint meeting of the Academics and Resources committees, Executive Vice President and Provost Pam Benoit and Vice President for Finance and Administration Stephen Golding provided additional information about the possibility of implementing a guaranteed tuition model. The presentation was part of an ongoing conversation with trustees on how to support academic excellence while maintaining affordability. The guaranteed tuition concept, which was introduced to Board members last November, aims to ensure that incoming students pay the same tuition rates for four years thereby giving families more certainty regarding the cost of attendance. According to Golding, the university’s current funding model is not sustainable in the long term given increasing fixed costs and a steady decline in both state support and the average levels of disposable family income. Guaranteed tuition models have been implemented at other universities and the experiences of those institutions are being studied carefully. Golding assured the trustees that robust discussions with the university community and the Board must be completed before approaching the state legislature about the possibility of establishing a guaranteed tuition model. State legislation would have to be passed before the University could implement a guaranteed tuition model. Benoit continued the discussion about maintaining excellence and supporting affordability as she outlined the University’s plans to improve the awarding of scholarships. Benoit discussed the work of the Student Scholarship Task Force, led by Vice Provost for Enrollment Management Craig Cornell. The task force has been developing a new scholarship model designed to create more flexibility in targeting specific student populations with the aim of increasing yield. Benoit noted that an in depth understanding of the effectiveness of our current scholarship programs is vital. It will help the university to use scholarship funding in ways that will provide greater support for the academic plans being developed by the colleges and increase alignment with the goals of the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan. The task force is on track to recommend a new scholarship model by June 30. In other business, the Board approved: A resolution to approve and authorize the University to develop construction documents, receive bids and award construction contracts for design and site preparation for phase one of the Housing Development Plan; the Peden Stadium turf replacement; renovations to the third floor of the Hudson Health building; HVAC/electrical upgrades to the Computer Service center; and renovations to the Dublin campus of the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. A resolution to change the name of the Management Systems Department in the College of Business to the Management Department. A resolution to approve the Management Department in the College of Business to offer the International Business Certificate. A resolution to approve changing the name of the Industrial Hygiene Program to the Occupational Hygiene and Safety Program and the associated degree from a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Hygiene (BSIH) to a Bachelor of Science Occupational Hygiene and Safety (BSOHS). The program is part of the College of Health Sciences and Professions.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Declaring that he lacks the strength to do his job, Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday he will resign Feb. 28 — becoming the first pontiff to step down in 600 years. His decision sets the stage for a mid-March conclave to elect a new leader for a Roman Catholic Church in deep turmoil. The 85-year-old pope dropped the bombshell in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals, surprising even his closest collaborators even though he had made clear previously that he would step down if he became too old or infirm to carry on. Benedict called his choice “a decision of great importance for the life of the church.” Indeed, the move allows the Vatican to hold a conclave before Easter to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow the death of a pope doesn’t have to be observed. It will also allow Benedict to hold great sway over the choice of his successor, though he will not himself vote. He has already hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals — the princes of the church who will elect the next pope — to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church. “Without doubt this is a historic moment,” said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protege and former theology student of Benedict’s who himself is considered a papal contender. “Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath.” Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, the archbishop of Paris, called the decision a “liberating act for the future,” saying popes from now on will no longer feel compelled to stay on until their death. “One could say that in a certain manner, Pope Benedict XVI broke a taboo,” he told reporters in Paris. There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious frontrunner — the same situation when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II. The Vatican stressed that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict’s decision, that he remained fully lucid and took his decision independently. It has been obvious to all that the pope has slowed down significantly in recent years, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. He now goes to and from the altar in St. Peter’s Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the long walk down the aisle. Occasionally he uses a cane. His 89-year-old brother, Georg Ratzinger, said doctors had recently advised the pope not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips. Benedict emphasized that carrying out the duties of being pope requires “both strength of mind and body.” “After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited” to the demands of being the pope, he told the cardinals. “In order to govern the bark (ship) of St. Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary — strengths which in the last few months, have deteriorated in me,” he said. Popes are allowed to resign but church law says the decision must be “freely made and properly manifested.” Still, only a handful have done it. The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great West- ern Schism, a dispute among competing papal claimants. The most famous resignation was Pope Celestine V in 1294; Dante placed him in hell for it. There are good reasons why others haven’t followed suit, primarily because of the fear of a schism with two living popes. Lombardi sought to rule out such a scenario, saying church law makes clear that a resigning pope no longer has the right to govern the church. “Therefore there is no risk of a conflict,” he told reporters. When Benedict was elected in 2005 at age 78, he was the oldest pope chosen in nearly 300 years. At the time, he had already been planning to retire as the Vatican’s chief orthodoxy watchdog to spend his final years writing in the “peace and quiet” of his native Bavaria. On Monday, Benedict said he would serve the church for the remainder of his days “through a life dedicated to prayer.” The Vatican said immediately after his resignation, which takes effect at 8 p.m. Feb. 28, Benedict would go to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer retreat south of Rome, and then would live in a cloistered monastery. During his tenure, Benedict charted a very conservative course for the church, trying to reawaken Christianity in Europe where it had fallen by the wayside and return the church to its traditional roots, which he felt had been betrayed by an incorrect interpretation of the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council. His efforts though, were overshadowed by a worldwide clerical sex abuse scandal, communication gaffes that outraged Jews and Muslims alike and, more recently, a scandal over leaked documents by his own butler. Many of his stated priorities as pope also fell short: he failed to establish relations with China, heal the schism and reunite with the Orthodox Church, or reconcile with a group of breakaway, traditionalist Catholics. All cardinals under age 80 are allowed to vote in the conclave, the secret meeting held in the Sistine Chapel where cardinals cast ballots to elect a new pope. As per tradition, the ballots are burned after each voting round; black smoke that snakes out of the chimney means no pope has been chosen, while white smoke means a pope has been elected. There are currently 118 cardinals under age 80 and thus eligible to vote, 67 of whom were appointed by Benedict. However, four of them will turn 80 before the end of March. Depending on the date of the conclave, they may or may not be allowed to vote. Benedict in 2007 passed a decree requiring a two-thirds majority to elect a pope, changing the rules established by John Paul who had decided that the voting could shift to a simple majority after about 12 days of inconclusive voting. Benedict did so to prevent cardinals from merely holding out until the 12 days had passed to push through a candidate who only had only a slim majority. Contenders to be his successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan, Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vatican’s office for bishops. Longshots include Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. Although Dolan is popular and backs the pope’s conservative line, being from such a world super power will probably not count in his favor. That might also rule out Cardinal Raymond Burke, an arch-conservative and the Vatican’s top judge, even if he is known and respected by most Vatican cardinals. BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT?

Weber The Associated Press Ken Thomas The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Marco Rubio is taking center stage as Republicans search for a new leader. In the nearly 100 days since President Barack Obama won a second term, the Florida senator has made calculated, concrete steps to emerge as a next-generation leader of a rudderless party, put a 21st-century stamp on the conservative movement and potentially position himself for a presidential run. The bilingual CubanAmerican lawmaker has become Republicans’ point person on immigration and he pitches economic solutions for middle-class workers. He is an evangelist for a modern, inclusive party that welcomes more Hispanics and minorities, but says Republicans must stay true to their principles. “In a way, he’s trying to save us from ourselves,” says Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union who gave Rubio his first job in politics, as a South Florida field staffer during Kansas Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign. “He gives us comfort against the naysayers who say we need to change our basic beliefs to attract a wider audience.” Rubio will give the Republican response to Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday. Rubio advisers say his rebuttal will offer economic prescriptions for a sluggish economy and try to counter what they call Obama’s government-centered economic approach. The speech comes as demand for the 41-yearold son of immigrants has soared and the party has tried to recover from significant electoral losses and map out a path ahead. Call it the “it” factor. Time magazine just splashed Rubio on its cover, anointing him “The Republican Savior.” Rubio, a Catholic, responded on Twitter: “There is only one savior, and it is not me. (hash)Jesus”. He shrugged off the label during an interview with The Associated Press: “I didn’t write the cover. I wouldn’t have said it if I wrote it.” “There are no saviors in politics,” he said. The former Florida House speaker has been on a Republican rocket ship since 2010, when he knocked off Gov. Charlie Crist in a Senate race that showed the tea party’s clout. He introduced presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention last year and attended dozens of rallies and fundraisers for the GOP ticket during the campaign. His rise draws comparisons to Obama, who moved from Illinois senator-elect to Democratic presidential nominee within four years. Both win accolades for their oratory skills and sought a lower profile at the start of their Senate careers. Like Obama did for the Democrats, Rubio evokes a new generation for Republicans, as comfortable talking about hip-hop music as health care. In a recent interview with the online news organization BuzzFeed, he discussed at length the rap music of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., something that would have been unimaginable coming from Romney. Since November’s pummeling, Rubio has taken a series of public and private steps to raise his already high profile and create the political, organizational and message framework he’d need should he decide The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

On election night, Rubio promoted “upward mobility policies” and counseled Republicans to renew their pitch to people from minority and immigrant communities. He made a quick trip to Iowa in mid-November for GOP Gov. Terry Branstad’s birthday party, which placed him before influential party activists in the important electoral state. Branstad lauded Rubio as the “kind of inspirational leader that’s going to help point us in the right direction.” In December, Rubio said Republicans needed to attract voters from all economic backgrounds, invoking his late father, who worked as a hotel bartender. People like that are not “looking for a handout” but conditions to help them reach the middle class, Rubio said at the Jack Kemp Foundation dinner. Behind the scenes, Rubio has bolstered his political action committee, Reclaim America PAC, to help him raise money, elect fellow Republicans and essentially create a campaign-in-waiting. Terry Sullivan, a trusted aide with deep ties to the early primary state of South Carolina, has moved over to work full time at the organization, and Rubio hired Dorinda Moss, a leading GOP fundraiser, to be its finance director. Rubio, who took hardline positions on immigration policy such as branding Sen. John McCain’s proposal in 2010 a form of amnesty, has shifted gears on the issue. He spent months meeting with different groups in the debate before releasing a set of principles with fellow senators that pairs increased border security with a possible path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. AUSTIN, Texas — With nearly 2 million illegal immigrants and a 1,200-mile border with Mexico, Texas has more at stake than most states in the renewed push to overhaul the nation’s immigration system. Yet so far, Gov. Rick Perry and Republicans who control the Legislature have been sitting this debate out. They’re not resurrecting dozens of contentious immigration bills that roiled the statehouse in 2011. They’re not making the rounds on TV and radio to talk about President Barack Obama’s plan for legalizing immigrants. They’re not even saying the word “immigration.” When Perry delivered his State of the State recently — his first since his failed presidential run — glaringly absent in the 37-minute speech was any mention of the issue at all. The silence speaks to the sudden political shift in immigration since last fall’s presidential election, in which Hispanics voted Democratic by a nearly 3-to-1 margin and created a powerful incentive for Republicans to change their approach to this growing ethnic group. In Congress, Republicans have softened their opposition to accommodating immigrants, and a bipartisan group of Senate negotiators unveiled a bill framework that includes a pathway to citizenship for those already in the U.S. so long as border security is beefed up. But in Texas, the party has been left speechless in the Capitol. GOP leaders find themselves caught between traditional supporters, who feel swamped by illegal immigrants and want tough action, and a surging Hispanic population. Minorities accounted for nearly nine out of every 10 new Texas residents in the past decade, and the demographic shift could soon transform the politics in a state where Democrats haven’t won a statewide office since 1994. “There’s not nearly as much energy around it as there was,” says Republican state Rep. John Zerwas, acknowledging the collapse of hard-line immigration proposals such as his to require state agencies to compile the costs related to illegal immigrants. “I think you’re seeing that at the national level, and probably a good bit of that is trickling down to the state level.” Similar pivots are under way in other Republican statehouses, but perhaps nowhere is the change more evident than in Texas because of how much rhetoric the issue has traditionally received here. Texas Republicans regularly used illegal immigration as a campaign cudgel against Democrats like Obama and as a rallying point for fed-up conservatives while trying Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Only two years ago in his State of the State address, Perry called for punishing “sanctuary cities” that bar police officers from asking detainees about their immigration status. There’s no talk of such measures now. “You want an answer? That tried and that failed,” said Texas Republican Party Chairman Steve Munisteri. “Responsible leadership is now focusing on things that have a chance to get passed.” Immigration isn’t an easy subject to ignore in Texas, though. About 16 percent of the illegal immigrants in the United States live in the state, according to a Department of Homeland Security report in 2012, and immigration leaves an outsize footprint on the state’s infrastructure. When a district judge ruled this week that Texas’ system for paying for public schools was unconstitutional, he sided with arguments that state funding hasn’t kept pace with rising numbers of students needing extra instruction to learn English. The ruling may force the Legislature to overhaul school finance by the summer. So red-hot was immigration for Texas Republicans in the last legislative session that state Rep. Debbie Riddle camped outside the clerk’s office to make sure her bills targeting illegal immigrants were filed first. About 50 bills related to immigration were filed in all. This time, Riddle, who once famously warned of immigrant mothers in the U.S. giving birth to “terror babies” who would grow up to attack the country as unsuspecting citizens, has not submitted any immigration proposals. Perry talked tough about illegal immigration in his race for president, making his demand for more federal “boots on the ground” on the border all but a campaign slogan. But other Republican candidates talked even tougher. Perry wound up being criticized for his support of a 2001 state law that allowed tuition breaks for the children of illegals. State demographers have predicted that Hispanics will make up a plurality of Texans by 2020, and then become the majority between 10 and 20 years later. In the last governor’s race, the Republican nominee, Perry, won less than 40 of the Hispanic vote, according to exit polls. Last summer, the Texas GOP softened on immigration at the party’s annual convention, acknowledging that mass deportation isn’t possible and calling for common ground. Six months later, some far-right Republicans are seething that immigration has dropped off the party’s radar.

Patrolman Calendine, who had been the subject of the derogatory comments, said, that it was a big stress relief to hear of the resignation by McAngus. Calendine said that he does plan to meet with an attorney before deciding what action to take next, but added that it is good to be back at work and not have to worry about the situation. Calendine added that he does plan to pursue legal action against the former mayor related to recent events. As of Monday, Calendine stated that he had not spoken with the now former mayor, nor has he received any kind of correspondence from McAngus or a specific reason for her resignation. Calls to McAngus were not returned on Monday. Mayor From Page 1 a member of council is up for re-election in November. A new President of Council will also have to be elected.

The Blue Devils posted a team score of 213 points, which was four points behind eventual runner-up and defending-champion Logan (217). Warren captured the 2013 team trophy with 231 points, while Chillicothe (189) and Jackson (21) rounded out the five-team field. Portsmouth — the other member of the six-team SEOAL — does not offer wrestling as a varsity sport. GAHS had 11 different wrestlers place in the top-four in the 14 separate weight classes, which included five champions, one runner-up, two third-place efforts and a trio of fourth-place finishes. The Blue Devils had two repeat champions from a year ago, as junior John Byus and sophomore Cole Tawney each came away with the second SEOAL crown of their respective careers. Byus repeated as the 220-pound champion, while Tawney traded in his 120-pound title from a year ago for the 126-pound championship this winter. Briggs Shoemaker and Mark Allen ended their SEOAL careers on top, as each senior came away with his first league title. Shoemaker won the 195-pound division, while Allen captured the 170-pound weight class crown. Freshman Scott Mash also started his SEOAL career in style by winning the 120-pound division.

Ethan Dovenbarger had four points, while Jacob Gilmore and Justin Rusk each marked two, rounding out the RVHS scoring.

The Tornadoes managed just three points in the opening quarter of a 48-59 loss to visiting Nelsonville-York at Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium. The Buckeyes (14-5) out scored Southern (9-11) 11-to-3 in the opening period Saturday night. The Tornado offense got things going in the second quar- ter scoring 16 points, but NYHS scored 18 in the period and took the 29-19 halftime advantage. The Buckeyes added three to their lead in the third period, out scoring Southern 17-to-14. SHS rallied for 15 points in the finale but the Brown and Orange scored 13 to seal the 59-48 victory. Tristen Wolfe paced the Tornadoes with 16 points in the game, followed by Taylor McNickle and Casey Pickens with seven each. Hunter Johnson and Zac Beegle Eagles sweep South Gallia Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — A 17-7 second quarter charge ultimately provided the Eastern boys basketball enough breathing room Saturday night to hold on and claim a 51-40 victory over host South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Eagles (7-13, 7-8 TVC Hocking) trailed 10-8 after eight minutes of play, but then followed with their big run of the night — allowing the guests to take a 25-17 cushion into the break. The Rebels (5-14, 3-11) responded with a small 13-12 third quarter spurt to pull within 37-30 headed into the finale, but ultimately never came closer the rest of the way. EHS closed regulation with a 14-10 run to wrap up the 11-point triumph. Eastern, with the win, claimed a season sweep after posting a 52-49 win at home back on January 5. The Eagles have won four of their last five contests, while SGHS has now dropped four straight decisions. Max Carnahan led Eastern with 13 points, followed by Chase Cook and Kirk Pullins with 10 points apiece. Troy Gantt was next with nine markers, while Christopher Speelman and Zakk Heaton rounded out the respective scoring with five and four points. EHS was 9-of-14 at the free throw line for 64 percent. Brayden Greer paced SGHS with a gamehigh 17 points, followed by Gus Slone with seven points and Mikey Wheeler with six markers. Kody Lambert chipped in five points, while Landon Hutchinson and Ethan Swain respectively rounded things out with three and two markers. The Rebels were 6-of-11 at the charity stripe for 55 percent. both marked five points, Chandler Drummer had four, while Trenton Deem and Dennis Teaford rounded out the SHS total with two points apiece. Pickens led the Purple and Gold on the glass with nine rebounds, followed by Wolfe with seven. Wolfe and McNickle each had four assists to lead Southern, while Wolfe and Deem led the defense with two steals each. As a unit the Tornadoes had 33 rebounds, 13 assists, seven steals and 30 turnovers. Southern shot 11-of-21 (52.4 percent) from the line and 18-of-41 (43.9 percent) from the field. SHS was just 1-of7 (14.3 percent) from beyond the arc with the lone triple coming from Wolfe. Nelsonville-York was led by Marc Carter and Clint Handa with 14 points each, followed by Jacob Blake with 12. Colt Adams marked seven points, Jay Elliott added five, Cody Walker contributed three, while Emmit Reed and Josh Fayette each marked two. Handa had nine rebounds to lead the victors, while Joey Young’s four assists led the Buckeyes. As a team NYHS had 26 rebounds, 15 assists, 16 steals, two blocks and 15 turnovers. The Buckeyes shot 23-of-51 (45.1 percent) from the field, including 6-of-22 (27.3 percent) from three point range. NYHS was 7-of-18 from the line for 38.9 percent. Southern falls to 0-2 against TVC Ohio opponents this season, while NYHS is 6-0 against the TVC Hocking. Indiana stays at No. 1 in AP Top 25 despite loss Jim O’Connell The Associated Press Indiana coach Tom Crean used an analogy to the state’s second favorite sport after the Hoosiers remained No. 1 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 for a second straight week. It had been over a month since a team managed to stay on top, and Indiana broke that trend despite losing a game last week, leading Crean to bring up auto racing. “I had a good friend tell me that in-season rankings are the barometer of representing what lane you’re in and the direction and how far you are moving towards your goals,” Crean said Monday. “We want to stay in the left lane and keep working on our team and pace because we know there are quite a few others in the left lane as well.” The Hoosiers (21-3) lost to Illinois on a lastsecond basket Thursday but rebounded with a win at then-No.10 Ohio State on Sunday. In a week when four of the top five teams and six of the top 10 lost, it was enough to keep the No. 1 ranking. “They were really disappointed on Thursday night. And instead of carrying that disappointment into a ‘woe is me’ mentality, they really did trigger how to get better. And I think it was in the sense of closing games,” Crean said. “I think there was a different level, a sense of urgency because of the way we didn’t finish it off, combined with the fact that we knew we were playing a team that it is outstanding.” This ends a stretch of five consecutive weeks with a new No. 1, two weeks short of the longest such stretch in 1993-94. Duke started the run followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana. The Hoosiers received 26 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday, while Duke, the only member of the top five not to lose last week, moved up two spots to second after getting 20 first-place votes. The last time a No. 1 team lost and kept the ranking the next week was the final poll of last season. Kentucky fell to Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference tournament championship game, but Nos. 2-4 also went down that week, so the Wildcats were No. 1 heading into the NCAA tournament. Miami, which received 17 No. 1 votes, jumped from eighth to No. 3, the Hurricanes’ highest ranking ever. “I’ve never really thought that Miami could be a top 10 program,” center Reggie Johnson said. “I didn’t think we’d be here in February. It’s surreal. The votes are cool, but we’ve still got work to do.” The Hurricanes are the last team from a major conference to still be unbeaten in league play. “It’s what every program strives for,” coach Jim Larranaga said. “Carolina and Duke have this every year. It’s a little different for us. These guys are hungry. They remain very, very humble.” Michigan dropped one spot to fourth, while Gonzaga, which got the other two first-place votes, moved up one spot to fifth. Syracuse was sixth, followed by Florida, Michigan State, Arizona and Kansas State. Along with Indiana and Ohio State, the other top 10 teams to lose last week were No. 2 Florida, No. 3 Michigan, No. 5 Kansas and No. 7 Arizona. There were four newcomers to the rankings: No. 20 Wisconsin, No. 22 Memphis, No. 24 Colorado State and No. 25 Kentucky. Wisconsin, Memphis and Kentucky, the defending national champion, were all ranked early in the season, while Colorado State makes it first appearance in the poll since March 9, 1954. Meet From Page 6 champions. Logan and Chillicothe each came away with two individual titles, while Jackson was the only participant to not have a grappler win a league crown. Other weight class champions in- cluded Levi Congleton (106), Cory Parsons (113), Austin Klintworth (145), Zach Pike (182) and Brandon Pahl (285) of Warren; Austin Scarberry (132) and Bryce McBride (152) of Logan; and Jacob Price (138) and Cristian Collins (160) of Chillicothe. Besides Byus and Tawney, other repeat champions from a year ago were Congleton, Parsons and Price.

Caldwell and Poling each had a team-high two assists, while Bostic had one. Poling, Bostic, Rebecca Rutt, Rachel Johnson and Jasmyne Johnson each finished the game with one steal. As a team the Red and Gold had 18 rebounds, five assists, five steals and 19 turnovers. The Lady Rebels were charged with just four personal fouls in the game. South Gallia shot just 11-of-40 (27.5 percent) from the field including just 1-of-9 (11.1 percent) from three point range. Rachel Johnson was responsible for the lone SGHS triple. The shooting woes continued from the free throw line as the Lady Rebels were just 6-of16 from the line for 37.5 percent. “We have a little bit of work to take care of,” Bostic said. “We made a few challenges to the girls, and if we get by the sectional final we have some work to do.” Waterford finished with four players in double figures, led by Chelsey Paxton with 12. Randee Seevers chipped in with 11 points, while Brooke Drayer and Regan Porter each marked 10 in the triumph. Taylor Hilverding contributed five points, Hannah Dailey had four and Maddy Sury added two, rounding out the WHS scoring. The Lady Cats finished with 31 rebounds and 23 turnovers in the game. Waterford shot 24-of-52 from the field for 46.2 percent, while attempting no free throws. WHS cashed in six times from beyond the arc, led by Seevers with three triples. Brooke Drayer finished with two threepointers while Hilverding accounted for the other. “We have a lot of young kids playing and it’s taken us about half the season to get everybody on the same Entertainment page,” Close said. “Now we’re starting to know where everybody’s at on the floor and we’re really starting to gel. The chemistry is getting good and this is the time of year you want that.” SGHS never led in the contest and never tied it up. The Lady Cats largest lead of the game was 34 points. WHS also defeated South Gallia on December 20th in Washington County by a count of 54-32. Nine consecutive years Waterford has been crowned TVC Hocking champion or co-champion, seven of those years have came with Close as the head coach. Before the game the Lady Rebels honored seniors Meghan Caldwell, Ellie Bostic, Jasmyne Johnson, Rebecca Rutt and Sara Rustmeyer, each of whom were playing in their final home game. South Gallia also recognized Waterford seniors Brooke Drayer and Chelsey Paxton. �Tuesday, February 12, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, February 12, 2013 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013: This year you alternate between being emotionally detached and being oversensitive. If you have an artistic talent, it is likely to emerge. This ability could be profitable. Your communication with others becomes more important than it has been in many years. If you are single, someone could come into your life unexpectedly. This bond could be very passionate if you meet before July. If you are attached, you often have very emotional talks. A new interest in communication could add new clarity and warmth to your bond. PISCES knows how to spend your money well. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel a bit off in the morning. Postpone key discussions, as others seem unwilling to move forward or change their ideas. Tomorrow is another day. The best use of your time is to choose what you can do by yourself. Tonight: Join a friend. Have some fun together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. At this point in time, you will get people to stand behind you and your ideas, and if you move quickly, you just might get the OK on a key project. If not, you’ll have to wait until the end of the week. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Claim your power, but understand that you might encounter some backlash. Do you really care? Move forward with a project that has been sitting on the back burner. Tomorrow is another day, when others might be more flexible. Tonight: Do only what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Reach out to a friend at a distance. The conversation you have will be quite enlightening. Your creativity might be falling flat. Try to brainstorm with friends for solutions. A child or loved one could be overserious. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your romantic side emerges, and you might wonder how best to communicate your feelings. You come from a place of security, yet you question your ability to get past someone’s stern demeanor. If you hit a roadblock, try to get a new perspective. Tonight: Near music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Others want to understand your position. You might not be very clear, so be sure to share more openly. Avoid being too serious, or you could end up creating distance between you and someone you care a lot about. Tonight: Check your budget before making a purchase. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Dive right in, and get as much done as possible. Allow greater giveand-take in the process of resolving a personal problem. You have a way of telling someone to drop dead without that person even realizing it until hours later. Tonight: Let the party begin at your place. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Focus on meetings and get-togethers with others. Fatigue could be an issue. Slow down a little, take a cat nap and eat well. You will become re-energized quite quickly that way. Try not to be so serious with a loved one. Tonight: Take the dog for a walk — you need a little exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 21) HHH Your sluggishness will pass quickly. How you respond to that slow energy says a lot about you. A discussion allows more openness between you and a loved one. This exchange will encourage you to make a couple of confidential calls and do research. Tonight: Strut your stuff! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Initiate conversations and schedule meetings. You might need to revise your plans once you hear certain news. A meeting might take on a very serious tone. Find out what is going on beyond someone’s grim expression. Talking helps. Tonight: Get some fresh air. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Have you overcommitted yourself? Deal with this issue as soon as you can. You know what is happening in day-to-day matters. Detach, and gain a better perspective. A boss seems reticent to have a conversation. Don’t read more into this than is there. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH News coming in from a distance could set you back. You might not have the whole story yet. Be willing to get to the bottom of what is happening. Not knowing could make you edgy, unless you assume a positive stance. A meeting keeps you on track! Tonight: Do some shopping.
