CAA Emergency HEAP help winding down
Sentinel Staff Report

TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

CHESHIRE — Gallia-Meigs
Community Action Agency’s
Emergency (CAA) Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
will only continue through
March 31, which is six weeks
from now, explained Sandra Edwards, Emergency Services Division Director.
Edward said that the CAA is
taking calls for appointments
each Friday at 8 a.m. or those

wanting to apply may walk in to
book an appointment.
She stressed that an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. Walk-ins can
only be assisted on a “as times
allows” basis and “worked in
around appointments”, because
clients with appointments have
priority, she said.
Emergency HEAP provides
assistance to households that
have had utilities disconnected,
face the threat of disconnection
or have 10 days or less supply of

bulk fuel. The program allows a
one-time payment of up to $175
per heating season to restore
or retain home heating services
for AEP and Columbia Gas and
up to $450 for BREC and Knox
Energy. For propane and fuel oil
clients, the payment may cover
up to 200 gallons for propane/
bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750. Clients heating with
wood or coal will be assisted up
to $350 also. Homeowners or
renters may qualify if their total
household income is at or below

200 percent of federal poverty
guidelines.
The income guidelines for
both HEAP programs are
the same. However, Regular
HEAP requires the previous 12
months’ income while the past
three months’ income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP.
The 12-month period or threemonth period for the test is determined from date of application making it possible for some
with decreased income during
these periods to qualify later in

the program. Examples of these
type situations could occur from
layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or
household member. Documentation verifying all household
income must be provided when
applying for HEAP. Also a copy
of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also
required that applicants provide
a birth certificate for the primary applicant, social security

Gallia deputy
shoots suspect
during altercation
Staff Report

GDTnews@civitasmedia.com

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — An on-therun Dayton man was shot in the arm
following an altercation with a Gallia
County sheriff’s deputy early on Monday morning. The man is now in custody following medical treatment at a
Ranon Brock
local hospital.
At 12:54 a.m. Monday, a Gallia County deputy saw
a suspicious vehicle on Scenic Drive while on patrol in
Springfield Township. According to early reports, the
deputy attempted to stop and check on the vehicle when
it suddenly took off.
The vehicle turned onto Mount Olive Road with the
deputy in pursuit with overhead lights on. The driver of
the suspect vehicle lost control on Mount Olive Road and
went into a ditch. The occupant was still attempting to
free the vehicle to continue on when the deputy pinned
the vehicle in the ditch and exited the cruiser. Early reports from the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office claim the
suspect vehicle was not registered to the suspect, but

Speech’s timing lets Ohio governor sell big ideas
COLUMBUS (AP) — By
timing the address to follow his major budget, tax
reform and school funding
proposals, Ohio Gov. John
Kasich’s annual State of
the State speech Tuesday
in Lima will feel more like
a stump speech for 2014
than the typical litany of
big policy initiatives.
The Republican governor will use the speech to
promote his latest ideas for
the state, rather than announce them.
He’s said as much.
“For those that are think-

ing that they want to come
to Lima on the 19th for a
whole bunch of new things
in the State of the State,
don’t come,” he said in
unveiling his $63.2 billion, two-year budget this
month. “Because I think
we’ve got it all out on the
field right now.”
For the second consecutive year, Kasich is taking
the address outside Columbus, and outside the
Statehouse, where prolabor protesters packed
the halls and sent up disruptive shouts during his

first address in 2011.
Last year, Kasich made
history when he first gave
the speech elsewhere,
picking the Democratic
and union stronghold of
Steubenville to highlight
positives he said were taking place in economically
hard-hit eastern Ohio, particularly surrounding K-12
education and oil and gas
exploration.
With Lima, in northwest
Ohio, Kasich has found a
manufacturing hub with
significantly
improved
employment, which also

sits in the heart of reliably
Republican farm country.
The new leader of the Ohio
Senate that’s sometimes
block Kasich’s plans, President Keith Faber of Celina,
lives nearby.
Located about 80 miles
south of Toledo, Lima
was built around factories
that made locomotives
and school buses. Heavy
industry still drives the
city, home to an oil refinery, a Ford Motor Co.
engine plant and the nation’s only tank manufacturing plant.

Study: Better TV might
improve kids’ behavior
SEATTLE (AP) — Teaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve
preschoolers’ behavior, even without getting them to watch
less, a study found.
The results were modest and faded over time, but may
hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid
aggressive, violent behavior, the study authors and other
doctors said.
“It’s not just about turning off the television. It’s about
changing the channel. What children watch is as important
as how much they watch,” said lead author Dr. Dimitri
Christakis, a pediatrician and researcher at Seattle Children’s Research Institute.
The research was to be published online Monday by the
journal Pediatrics.
The study involved 565 Seattle parents, who periodically
filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child’s behavior.
Half were coached for six months on getting their 3-to5-year-old kids to watch shows like “Sesame Street” and
“Dora the Explorer” rather than more violent programs like
“Power Rangers.” The results were compared with kids
whose parents who got advice on healthy eating instead.

Dear J.M.: It sounds like
you landed right in the middle of a situation that went
from bad to worse, and you
did what you thought was
right. Although you certainly wouldn’t yell at the
construction team under
ordinary circumstances,
you probably should cut
yourself some slack on this
occasion. First of all, your
instincts were to protect
the woman lying on the
ground, and that fact can’t
be too hard to live with. In
fact, you should be proud
that your first move was
to try to protect the victim from further distress.
This is not to say that you
should just ignore the incident and pretend that
nothing happened; you
have little to lose by taking
steps to clear the air.
If you feel embarrassed
to have been involved in
the incident, I imagine the
contractor is doubly so.
Sometimes when there is
an emergency and a loved
one is hurt, the spouse will
lash out at the victim when
he feels impotent to do
anything. Not being on the
spot to help and comfort
her after the fall probably
was very frustrating to the
husband, and he impulsively let her have it instead of
sympathizing. If you feel
the need to apologize, do
so, and I’ll bet you will receive an apology in return.
I would hope he makes it
up to his wife as well, but
you don’t need to get involved in that. Fear and
frustration can make all of
us crazy, don’t you agree?

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Expanding
Ohio’s sales tax might take some of the
fun out of going to concerts, football
games and amusement parks.
Gov. John Kasich wants to cut the state’s
overall sales-tax rate while also putting
the lower 5 percent sales tax on a long list
of new items that include circuses, arcade
games and carnival rides.
Admission to fairs, museums, and
theme parks would fall under Ohio’s sales
tax for the first time too. So would tickets
to pro, college and high school games.
The governor is proposing sweeping
changes in the way Ohio taxes businesses
and individuals in his two-year budget
that still must be approved by lawmakers.
Kasich’s plan includes reducing income,
small business and sales taxes to stimulate
job growth.
At the same time, his proposal tacks
on Ohio’s sales tax to attorney fees, cable
TV and pet grooming as well as entertainment options.
“By broadening this tax, by broadening
it, we’re actually bringing greater fairness
to the system,” Kasich said last week.
Adding the sales tax on arts, entertainment, and recreation alone is projected to
bring in $85 million to the state government over the coming two years.
It’s also likely to add to the cost of seeing a ballgame or a play.
Some entertainment businesses and
sports teams will pass the costs onto ticket buyers and customers while others are
likely to absorb the costs, fearing that a
price increase will drive away business.
“There has to be a decrease somewhere,
either in my profits or customers,” said
Eric Bates, president of Bates Brothers
Amusements Co., which is based in Wintersville in eastern Ohio and supplies carnival rides to fairs and festivals.
He worries that some cash-strapped
county fairs won’t survive if they’re forced
to give up 5 percent of their gate fees to
the government.
“I don’t know that it’s wise at this time,”
Bates said.
Bowling alley owner Marty Teifke
agreed that it would hurt to pay a tax on
lane rentals.

“It’s not easy to raise prices, and the
economy is not the best around here”
said Teifke, who runs Timbers Bowling
in Maumee near Toledo. “It scares me to
hear this.”
Most entertainment businesses and
groups that would be affected by a wider sales tax are still trying to figure out
what the impact might be and how they’ll
respond, including Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., owners of Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky and Kings Island
near Cincinnati.
Both parks have fought against past
attempts by local governments that have
tried to tax tickets and parking.
The addition of a 5 percent state sales
tax on admissions would amount to $2.75
on the price of a $54.99 Cedar Point ticket
at the gate.
A $22 Cincinnati Reds ticket in the upper deck ticket would generate $1.10 for
the state.
Close to 70 cities and villages in Ohio
already have some sort of admission tax
with most coming in at 3 percent. Cleveland’s is at 8 percent.
Tickets for high school sports wouldn’t
be exempt from the governor’s proposal.
Jim Stoyle, athletic director at Centerburg High School north of Columbus, said
he would want the cost of admission to go
up. “That’s the one thing I hate in sports
today,” he said.
Game tickets at the school now are $6
for adults and $4 for students. He’s concerned that families would be stretched
thin if the price goes up, especially for
those with several children playing, and
that the teams would suffer as well.
“Most of our high school athletic programs survive on ticket gate sales,” Stoyle
said.
Community theater groups would face

around it.”

Singer Mindy McCready
dies in apparent suicide
HEBER SPRINGS, Ark.
(AP) — Mindy McCready,
who hit the top of the
country charts before personal problems sidetracked
her career, died Sunday in
Arkansas in an apparent
suicide. She was 37.
The Cleburne County
Sheriff’s Office said in
a news release that McCready was found dead
at a residence in Heber
Springs from what appears
to be a single, self-inflicted
gunshot to the head. An
autopsy is pending.
It wasn’t the first suicide
attempt for the troubled
singer, whose list of problems only continued to
grow in 2013.
McCready
entered
court-ordered rehab earlier this month after her
father told a judge she was
no longer taking care of
herself or her children and
was abusing drugs and alcohol. Her sons were put
in foster care at the time,
but it’s not clear where
Zander and Zayne were
at the time of McCready’s
death.
McCready’s
longtime
boyfriend David Wilson,
the father of her younger
son, died last month in Arkansas. Authorities found
his body on the same
porch where they discovered McCready’s on Sun-

day, and his death also was
investigated as a suicide.
The front porch light
remained on Sunday night
at McCready’s home in the
wooded lakefront community filled with large
homes. Yellow crime-scene
tape blocked off the front
of the house, and a deputy
sat watch over the property, referring questions to
the sheriff. A pickup truck
remained in the driveway.
Wilson’s passing struck
McCready hard. She issued a statement last
month lamenting his
death. She called him her
soul mate and a caregiver
to her sons in an interview with NBC’s “Today.”
She said she’d never gone
through anything as painful as his death.
“I just keep telling myself that the more suffering that I go through,
the greater character I’ll
have,” she said, according
to a transcript of the interview.
News of McCready’s
death spread quickly Sunday night on Twitter, with
major country stars paying
their respects to the one-

time Nashville darling.
“Too much tragedy to
overcome. R.I.P Mindy
McCready,” wrote Natalie Maines of The Dixie
Chicks.
And
Jason
Aldean
added: “Just heard about
Mindy McCready. My
thoughts and prayers are
with her 2 boys and her
family.”
Melinda Gayle McCready arrived in Nashville in 1994 still in her
teens with tapes of her
karaoke vocals and earned
a recording contract with
BNA Records.
In 1996, her “Guys Do It
All the Time” hit No. 1 and
its dig at male chauvinism
endeared her to females.
Her other hits included
“Ten Thousand Angels,”
also in 1996, and her album by that title sold 2
million copies.
She spent the next 15
years chasing another
hit as personal problems
began plaguing her. Her
problems included a custody battle with her mother
over one of her sons, an
overdose and discord in
her love life.

Climate contradiction:
Less snow, more blizzards
Seth Borenstein
AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — With
scant snowfall and barren
ski slopes in parts of the
Midwest and Northeast the
past couple of years, some
scientists have pointed to
global warming as the culprit.
Then when a whopper
of a blizzard smacked the
Northeast with more than 2
feet of snow in some places
earlier this month, some
of the same people again
blamed global warming.
How can that be? It’s
been a joke among skeptics,
pointing to what seems to
be a brazen contradiction.
But the answer lies in atmospheric physics. A warm-

er atmosphere can hold, and
dump, more moisture, snow
experts say. And two soonto-be-published
studies
demonstrate how there can
be more giant blizzards yet
less snow overall each year.
Projections are that that’s
likely to continue with manmade global warming.
Consider:
• The United States has
been walloped by twice as
many of the most extreme
snowstorms in the past 50
years than in the previous
60 years, according to an
upcoming study on extreme weather by leading
federal and university climate scientists. This also
fits with a dramatic upward trend in extreme winter precipitation — both

February is the month of presidents.
It includes Washington’s birthday, Lincoln’s birthday, Ronald Reagan’s birthday, and, of course, Presidents Day.
Given that I teach and write about presidents, this time of year always prompts
me to strange musings. This year is no
exception, as I’m thinking about six
particular presidents: Barack Obama,
George W. Bush, FDR, Herbert Hoover,
Bill Clinton, and Harry Truman. How
could I possibly connect these six?
Bear with me — I’ll start and end with
Obama.
Barack Obama, and particularly his
re-election campaign, has achieved
something quite dubious of a sitting
president. Namely, he has managed to
successfully blame nearly every woe of
the last four years on his predecessor.
Never mind that every economic indicator under Obama is not only worse than
under George W. Bush, but far worse.
Obama has presided over a steadily
worsening economic disaster, one that
is stacking up as one of the most dreadful economic records of any president in
history. And yet, as he does, he passes
the buck to his predecessor, blaming
George W. Bush.
This is unbecoming of an American
leader; it’s precisely what our presidents
don’t do; they don’t treat each other like
this, having much more respect for the
job and those who have held it. There is
a long-time gentlemen’s understanding,
honored by nearly every president, that
you don’t blame your predecessor for
your problems.
Nonetheless, George W. Bush has become Obama’s go-to scapegoat.
For the record, Obama is not completely alone in mastering this ignoble
tactic. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, like
Obama, conjured up various demons to
advance his “progressive” agenda, with
the rich atop his enemies list. But FDR
also dumped on his Republican predecessor. He blamed everything on Herbert Hoover.
Notably, this really upset Hoover.
Hoover was hurt deeply by FDR constantly trashing him, his record, his policies. FDR did not treat Hoover the way
we Americans expect our presidents
to treat one another. Their relationship became toxic. FDR’s successor,
Harry Truman, took notice. “Roosevelt
couldn’t stand him,” said Truman of
Hoover, “and he [Hoover] hated Roosevelt.”
Even sadder, FDR, like Obama, got
away with this blame-game. FDR successfully pinned everything on Hoover
in re-election upon re-election. As for
Obama, a literal majority (60 percent,
according to one exit poll) who voted
for him in 2012 agreed with him that
the terrible economy was totally Bush’s
fault. They swallowed Obama’s Bush
blame-game hook, line, and sinker.

How do Harry Truman and Bill Clinton relate to this?
Truman and Clinton, like Obama and
FDR, were, of course, both Democrats.
Truman, however, was willing to put
party aside to do what was right. He
had character by the boatload. Truman
saw how troubled Hoover was by FDR’s
mistreatment. A good man, Truman
did what he could to remedy the situation. (This is detailed nicely by Nancy
Gibbs and Michael Duffy in their excellent new book: “The Presidents Club.”)
He reached out to Hoover after World
War II and sought to use the maligned
ex-president in several significant projects, including post-war reconstruction
for Europe.
“I knew what I had to do,” said Truman.
“I knew just the man I wanted to help
me.” And so, Truman employed Hoover’s
considerable managerial talents.
It was a very gracious gesture, and pure
Truman. Truman saw a wrong by his fellow Democrat, FDR, and strived to correct it, regardless of his party loyalties.
Bill Clinton, unfortunately, is the antiTruman. When Clinton, who is very
friendly with both George W. Bush and
his father, learned of Obama’s campaign
to blame Bush for every ill in America,
including those that Obama has not
merely created but mushroomed to unprecedented levels, what did Clinton
do? Did he telephone Obama and say,
“Hey, back off, that isn’t right and you
know it. We presidents don’t treat expresidents that way.”
No, that’s what Harry Truman would
have done. Bill Clinton joined the Obama
campaign against Bush. The most notorious display was Clinton’s Democratic
National Convention speech, where he
prattled on about how not even he could
have turned around the permanently
disfigured economy that Barack Obama
inherited from the malevolent Bush. No,
no way, just impossible. Clinton incessantly pushed the line in campaign stop
after campaign stop.
And no doubt, when the 2012 campaign was all over, and Clinton, who
perhaps even privately voted for Mitt
Romney (it wouldn’t surprise me), surely flew to Texas and (Joe Biden-like)
grinned and back-slapped George W.
Bush and said, “Hey, no hard feelings,
pal!”
And George W. Bush, no doubt, did
what he always did, stoically turning the
other cheek, forgiving Clinton, and gently suffering the insults in silence—and
again helping to make possible another
Obama term.
Happy Presidents Month, America.

Point grapplers sending 12 to state
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ONA, W.Va. — You never get a
second chance to make a first impression.
The Point Pleasant wrestling
program — which had won three
consecutive Class AA-A state
titles before being moved up to
Class AAA this school year — had
a dozen grapplers advance to the
state level Saturday following the

conclusion of the 2013 Class AAA
Region IV Wrestling Tournament
at Cabell Midland High School.
It was the first time in four years
that the Big Blacks failed to win a
regional championship as a team,
as PPHS finished as the overall
runner-up with 228 points. Huntington won the Region IV team
trophy with a score of 274.5 points
overall. Cabell Midland (156),
Winfield (133) and Spring Valley
(104) rounded out the top five

team scores at the 10-team event.
Point Pleasant had three grapplers win regional titles and had
six more wrestlers compete in
regional championship matches.
PPHS also had a pair of third-place
finishes and a fourth-place effort
advance to state — leaving Point
Pleasant without a state competitor in only the 160- and 285-pound
divisions.
The Big Blacks have a total of
nine repeat qualifiers for state, in-

cluding two of the three regional
champs from this winter. Senior
Noah Searls earned another regional title in the 138-pound
division, while junior Brycen
Reymond is headed back to state
with his first regional crown in the
182-pound weight class.
Sophomore Jacob Starcher
— who was injured headed into
the state tournament last year —
picked up his first state berth by
winning the 195-pound division.

John Raike (113), Guy Fisher
(120), Steven Porter (132), Trevor Hill (170) and Jacob Duncan
(220) all picked up repeat state
berths by finishing second in their
respective weight classes, while
Caleb Leslie is headed to his first
state appearance after finishing as
the 106-pound runner-up.
Micah Powell (126) and Josh
Hudson (145) both earned return
trips to Huntington with identical

The Gallia Academy girls basketball team had a fourgame winning streak snapped in what also proved to be
its season finale Saturday afternoon during a 64-45 setback to Jackson in a Division II sectional championship
contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus
of Meigs High School.
The ninth-seeded Blue Angels (9-15) put up quite a
fight in the opening moments of the game, as the guests
hit their first four shots from the field en route to a 9-8
advantage at the 4:36 mark of the first period. The topseeded Ironladies followed with a pair of free throws from
Kari Jenkins at the 3:54 point for a 10-9 cushion, and then
led the rest of the afternoon.
Jackson (22-1) closed the final three-plus minutes of
the opener on an 8-2 spurt for an 18-11 lead after eight
minutes of play. The Ironladies followed with a 16-8 run
to claim their biggest lead of the first half at 34-19 with 27
seconds remaining, but GAHS got a trifecta from Chelsy
Slone 20 seconds later to cut the halftime deficit down to
34-22.
The Blue Angels scored the opening points of the third
quarter after Kendra Barnes netted a basket at the 7:19
mark, allowing the guests to get within 10 points. Gallia
Academy was never closer, as JHS reeled off 11 consecutive points over the next three minutes for a sizable 45-24
cushion with 4:27 left.
Abby Wiseman hit a free throw at the 3:58 mark to end
the Angels’ scoreless drought for a 45-25 deficit, but the
hosts responded with a 9-3 surge the rest of the way to
take a 54-28 edge into the finale. The 26-point margin was
also the biggest lead of the night for Jackson.
GAHS scored the first six points to climb back to within 20 just two minutes into the fourth, and then the Blue
Angels ultimately trimmed their deficit down to 17 points
(62-45) with 52 seconds left in regulation before running
out of time.
The final outcome was as close as Gallia Academy had
been to the Ironladies all season long. GAHS dropped a
65-27 decision at Jackson and also suffered a 55-33 setback at home in the two previous regular season matchups.
The Blue Angels finished the night 17-of-47 from the
field for 36 percent, including a 5-of-16 effort from threepoint range for 31 percent. GAHS committed 20 turnSee FINAL ‌| 8

THE PLAINS, Ohio —
Hot shooting lead the Lady
Rebels to their first sectional title since 2009.
The South Gallia girls
basketball team shot over
54 percent from the field
Saturday en route to a 4940 victory over Belpre in
the sectional final at Charles
McAfee Gymnasium on
the campus of Athens High
School.
The Lady Rebels (18-5)
out scored BHS 7-to-4 over
the opening 5:30 of the
game but Belpre answered
with a 6-to-3 run, tying the
game at 10 at the end of the
first period.
SGHS turned up the intensity in the second period,
as it out scored the Lady
Golden Eagles 15-to-5 in the
quarter. The Lady Rebels
defense forced 10 turnover
in the first half, while holding BHS to 4-of-20 (20 percent) shooting.
South Gallia kept the momentum after the break, as
it out scored Belpre 16-to-8
in the third period, pushing
the lead to 41-23 with eight
minutes remaining.
The Lady Eagles closed
the game on a 17-to-8 run
but it wasn’t enough and
SGHS took the 49-40 victory.
“When we started this
we had the concept that we
wanted to go back to districts,” South Gallia coach
Brett Bostic said. “These
seniors have been with me
since I started this, when
they were in fourth grade.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Snapping the skid.
It had been nearly a month since
the South Gallia boys basketball
team had tasted victory but the Rebels got back into the win column in
the regular season finale with a 5045 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division victory over Miller in Gallia
County.
The Falcons (9-13, 9-7 TVC Hocking) out scored South Gallia (6-16,
4-12) 12-to-7 in the opening period
to take the momentum. Miller kept
it going in the second quarter with
a 14-to-12 run, led by Skylar Hook
with 10 points in the stanza. SGHS
trailed 26-19 at halftime.

The Rebel defense held MHS to
just seven points in the third period,
while South Gallia scored 13 to cut
the Falcons lead to one point. SGHS
rallied for 18 points in the fourth period, while Miller scored 12, giving
the Red and Gold the 50-45 victory.
South Gallia was led by Ethan
Swain with 14 points in the triumph.
Brayden Greer marked 11 points,
eight of which came in the final period, while Kody Lambert had 10
points for the game. Gus Slone added
eight points, while Landon Hutchinson rounded out the SGHS total with
seven points.
The Rebels shot 10-of-19 from
the free throw line for 52.6 percent.
Lambert and Swain each hit a pair of
three-pointers for the victors.

Hook led the Falcons with 14
points, followed by Elijah Rader with
13 and Hunter Starlin with 12. Trent
Abram marked five points, while
Garrett Sinift added one point to
round out the MHS total.
Miller was just 4-of-13 from the
free throw line for 30.8 percent. Starlin hit two triples for the Falcons,
while Abram had the other.
The Rebels lost to Miller on January 2nd in Hemlock by a count of 6460. South Gallia last victory came on
January 18th in a 55-50 game against
visiting Waterford. The win snapped
the Rebels’ six game skid.
The Rebels return to action in the
sectional semi-final against Ironton
St. Joseph Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at
Meigs High School.

Blue Devils sending four
grapplers to districts
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ALBANY, Ohio — The Gallia Academy wrestling program had four grapplers advance to next weekend’s district
level after placing in the top-four of
their respective weight classes Saturday at the 2013 Division II Southeast
Sectional Wrestling Tournament held
at Alexander High School.
The Blue Devils had two individuals win sectional titles en route to
posting a team score 105 points,
which placed GAHS fifth out of 11
teams overall. Sheridan won the D-2
sectional team title with 242 points,
while Athens (235), New Lexington
(195) and Warren (119) rounded out
the top four spots.
The Blue Devils had eight district
qualifiers and four sectional champs
a year ago, but the one constant between those two teams is Cole Tawney. Tawney, a sophomore, won his
second consecutive sectional crown in

We talked about the concept of winning a sectional
championship.”
Meghan Caldwell led
the Lady Rebels with 15
points on 7-of-13 shooting, followed by Jasmyne
Johnson with 11 points
on 4-of-11 shooting. Ellie
Bostic finished with nine
points, Rachel Johnson
had seven, Mikayla Poling
added four, while Lesley
Small rounded out the
SGHS scoring with three
points.
The Lady Rebels rebounding was led by Bostic with eight and Caldwell
with six, followed by Jasmyne Johnson with five.
Jasmyne Johnson finished
with a team-high three assists, while Caldwell and
Rachel Johnson led the
South Gallia defense with
two steals apiece.
As a team the Lady Rebels had 27 rebounds, six
assists and seven steals,
while committing 20
turnovers and 20 fouls.
Jasmyne Johnson was the
only Lady Rebel to foul
out. South Gallia shot 7-of-

the 120-pound division after scoring a
pinfall win over Andrew Spicer of New
Lexington in the finals.
Senior Mark Allen is also returning
to the district level after clinching his
first sectional championship with a
3-1 decision over Alex Tritipo of Athens in the 170-pound division. Seniors
Briggs Shoemaker and Scott Warren
are both headed to districts for the first
time after respectively finishing second
and fourth in the 195- and 285-pound
weight classes.
Freshman Justin Reynolds just
missed out on a qualifying berth after
placing fifth overall in the 160-pound
division, while junior Ben Bush placed
sixth in his 145-pound weight class.
The 2013 Division II Southeast District Tournament will be held at Goshen

15 (46.7 percent) from the
free throw line and 20-of37 (54.1 percent) from the
field. SGHS was 2-of-5 (40
percent) from beyond the
arc, with Caldwell and Jasmyne Johnson each connecting on one triple.
“The first few days of
the week we had tougher
practices but the last three
days of practice made
me feel really good about
coming in here,” said Bostic. “Belpre’s not going to
quit and they shot the ball
well, while we did some
crazy things but ultimately at the end we held on to
win the game.”
The Lady Eagles were
led by Lexus Cunningham
with 12 points, followed
by Katelyn Hughes and
Hannah Lawrentz with
nine points each. Sierra
Barker marked six points,
while Emily Hughes and
Claudia Hall each finished
with two points to round
out the BHS scoring.
Belpre shot 15-of-27
(55.6 percent) from the
free throw line and 12-of44 (27.2 percent) from the
field. Katelyn Hughes accounted for the lone three-

pointer for BHS. The Lady
Eagles had 24 rebounds in
the game, while committing 16 fouls and 15 turnovers. Barker was the only
Lady Eagle to foul out.
The Lady Rebels have
now defeated Belpre three
times this season. The first
came by a count of 71-53
on December 17th in Mercerville, while the second
came on January 10th by
a count of 59-49 in Belpre.
BHS also lost in the sectional final last year to Waterford. Belpre’s last sectional title came in 2011
with a 51-48 victory over
South Gallia.
SGHS lost in the sectional semi-final last season,
while losing in the sectional final the two years
before that. The Lady Rebels last sectional title came
in 2009.
The Lady Rebels return
to action February 21st at

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Feb. 19, 2013:
This year you experience some
tension regarding what you want to
do and the way in which you go about
executing those goals. Others might
feel as if you are sending them mixed
signals. You can go from being deeply
emotional to highly intellectual within
a few minutes. Confusion surrounds
your communication. If you are single,
you could have a few starts-ups to
relationships with different people.
Potential partners might be confused
by your varying needs, but the right
person won’t be. If you are attached,
the two of you need to work on your
communication. Many events happen
quickly around you. GEMINI can’t
understand your feelings, yet he or
she loves your ideas.
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)
HHHH You have a way with words
that is clear and concise. Right now,
whether confusion lies on your side
or someone else’s, do your best to
clear it up. Not pointing fingers leads
to good will and continued ease
when relating on a one-on-one level.
Tonight: Be clear and direct.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You might have made an
error financially — or maybe someone
else has, yet you’re the one who has
to deal with it. Don’t turn down someone’s offer to help. Once your finances
are back in order, you can make that
purchase you’ve been eyeing. Tonight:
Treat yourself on the way home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Go full speed ahead.
Don’t worry about the outcome of a
situation. Rethink a personal matter involving a child or a new friend.
Clearly there is a lot of caring between
the two of you. If a misunderstanding occurs, don’t take it personally.
Tonight: All smiles.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You are able to make a difference, and you will do your best to
make someone feel more comfortable.
Don’t worry so much about the longterm implications of a situation, as it
might not be the best time to clear the
air. Tonight: Get a little extra R and R.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH Listen to news with a
touch of cynicism. You might sense
that someone has distorted the story
or left out an important fact. Show
interest and ask questions. Others
appreciate your attention. A meeting

takes a positive turn, which leads to
success. Tonight: Find your friends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Others will look to you to take
the lead, so do so. You might be confused by recent events. Ask questions
and trust your judgment. Your friends
and loved ones will demonstrate their
caring because of your kind personality. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Take an overview. You
know what you did wrong, but you also
might be curious about others’ reactions. Explore this further by asking
questions. Your creativity and gentleness might seem like a ploy to some,
but that is who you really are. Tonight:
Watch someone open up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Work with individuals rather
than groups, and you will be happier
with the results. You might need to
sort out some recent confusion. How
you feel about someone could change
once you put a misunderstanding to
bed. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You always have strong
opinions. Allow others to make the
first move and express their ideas and
feelings. Everyone, including you, gets
to see the end results of his or her
actions. On some level, this experience could be important. Tonight:
Defer, defer, defer.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Focus on each task on your
to-do list, and work toward meeting your goals. Your ability to move
through a problem marks your interactions. Others trust you to get the job
done. Understand what your expectations are from a certain situation.
Tonight: Lighten up and relax.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH The unexpected occurs,
and you might profit from the outcome
of handling it the way you want. Others
might take a little while to regroup. If
you are wondering what’s going on, try
to walk in their shoes. You are in the
mood to overindulge. Tonight: Ever
playful.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Stay close to home. You
might want to reconsider an investment involving real estate or your
domestic life. Investigate and discuss
different courses of action with a family
member or roommate. You will come
to a mutually acceptable idea as a
result. Tonight: Order in.

ALBANY, Ohio — Both
Meigs and River Valley had
multiple wrestlers qualify

Saturday following the
2013 Division III Southeast Sectional Wrestling
Tournament held at Alexander High School.
The Marauders had
three grapplers make it out
of sectionals while earning
an eighth-place finish with
69 points, while the Raiders had two wrestlers make
it districts while placing
ninth out of 15 teams with
68 points. RVHS, however,
did have the only sectional
champion between the two
programs.
Junior Trae Cornell captured his second consecutive sectional title for the
Raiders after winning the
145-pound division with

a pinfall win over Colton
Park of Westfall. Cornell

Bryan Walters

SPENCER, W.Va. — History in the making.
The Wahama wrestling program has five athletes headed to
state and also had three grapplers win regional titles — both
school records — following Saturday’s Class AA-A Region IV
Wrestling Tournament held at Roane County High School.
The White Falcons placed sixth out of 11 teams overall
with 116 points, but more than doubled their representation
at state from just a year ago. WHS had only two qualifiers in
2012, and both are headed back for at least a second straight
season.
Junior Kane Roush — a now three-time state qualifier
— picked up his second consecutive Region IV championship after earning a 13-9 overtime decision over Tyler Stewart of Clay County in the 160-pound final. Roush won the
152-pound regional title a year ago before eventually finishing as the state runner-up.
Junior Colton Neal and sophomore Demetrius Serevicz
also picked up regional crowns while qualifying for their first
respective state competitions. Neal scored a pinfall win over
Brady Dye of Herbert Hoover in the 182-pound division final,
while Serevicz earned a 10-6 decision over Kyle Frazier of
Buffalo in the 195-pound final.
Junior Randall Robie — who qualified for state last year —
earned a repeat trip by placing fourth overall in the 126-pound
weight class. Senior Crandal Neal is headed to his first state
tournament after plcaing third in the 170-pound division.
Junior Jacob Bennett also finished sixth in the 120-pound
division for WHS. The 2013 WVSSAC Class AA-A championships will be held Thursday through Saturday at the Big
Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, W.Va.
Clay County won the Region IV AA-A team title with
218.50 points, followed by Wirt County (215) as the overall
runner-up. Williamstown (154), Calhoun County (136.5) and
Roane County (135) rounded out the top-five team efforts.
Point Pleasant had won the last three Class AA-A Region
IV team titles before moving up to Class AAA this school
year.

MLB set to have no
arbitration hearings this year
NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball is set to
finish its first arbitration shutout.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey and San Diego Padres left-hander
Clayton Richard agreed to one-year contracts Saturday, making it all but certain
there will be no salary arbitration hearings this year for the first time since the
process began in 1974 — arbitration was
suspended for 1976 and 1977 while free
agency was put in place.
No cases have been argued before
three-person panels after 133 players
filed for arbitration last month. Only one
remains scheduled for a hearing next
week — and those sides already have a
deal in place.
Relief pitcher Darren O’Day and the
Baltimore Orioles have an agreement on
a $5.8 million, two-year contract that is
pending a physical. As long as that deal
is completed, arbitration season is over.
Baseball’s previous record low was
three hearings, set in 2005 and matched
in 2009 and 2011. The high was 35 in
1986, but teams and players have shied
away from squaring off lately in part because the arguments often grew contentious.
Owners hold a 291-214 lead since arbitration began.
Bailey and the Reds agreed to a $5.35
million contract Saturday, while Richard

and the Padres settled at $5.24 million.
Jerry Buss, Los Angeles
Lakers’ owner, dies at 80
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles
Lakers’ owner Jerry Buss has died at age
80.
Spokesman Bob Steiner says Buss died
Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles. He’d been hospitalized for cancer, but the immediate cause of
death was kidney failure.
Buss shepherded the NBA franchise to
10 championships. He transformed the
Lakers into Southern California’s most beloved sports franchise and a worldwide extension of Hollywood glamour after buying
the club in 1979.
Buss acquired, nurtured and befriended
a staggering array of talent during his Hall
of Fame tenure.
With Buss’ leadership and lavish spending, the Lakers won five championships
during the 1980s Showtime dynasty and
added five more in an 11-year span of Kobe
Bryant’s career.
Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving
wins 3-point contest
HOUSTON (AP) — Cleveland point
guard Kyrie Irving beat San Antonio’s Matt
Bonner to win the 3-point contest during
All-Star Saturday night.
Irving, who will play in his first All-Star
game on Sunday, started 7 for 7 in the final
round and finished with 23 points — two
shy of the record shared by Craig Hodges
and Jason Kapono. Bonner finished with
20 points in the final round.
Players had one minute to take 25 3-point
shots from five positions around the arc.
Bonner had the highest score of the six
players in the first round (19). Irving, who
also played in Friday night’s Rising Stars
Challenge, had 18 points in the first round.
Earlier, Portland rookie Damian Lillard
won the Skills Competition and the trio
of Chris Bosh, Swin Cash and Dominique
Wilkins won the Shooting Stars event.
Ross beats Evans in dunk contest
HOUSTON (AP) — Toronto rookie Terrence Ross beat defending champion Jeremy Evans to win the slam-dunk contest
during All-Star Saturday night.
The 6-foot-6 Ross jumped over a ball
boy, whipped the ball between his legs and
threw down a one-handed slam to clinch
the victory. Earlier, Ross donned a Vince
Carter jersey, took a lob from high-school
teammate Terrence Jones off the edge of
the backboard, spun in the air, and then
slammed home another one-hander.
Evans jumped over a painted portrait of
himself and hurdled Dallas Mavericks forward Dahntay Jones for a dunk in his final
round.
Ross earned 58 percent of the fan vote
in the championship round. The first round
was judged by former Houston Rockets
Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Dikembe Mutombo, Rudy Tomjanovich and Yao
Ming.

No. 1 Indiana in showdown at No. 4 Michigan State
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP)
— Tom Izzo put it best.
“It doesn’t get any better or bigger than this,” the Michigan State
coach said.
Izzo’s fourth-ranked Spartans
will host the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers — led by his former assistant and good friend, Tom Crean.
Tuesday night’s game marks the
first time two top-five teams have
met at the Breslin Center.
It’s the third matchup of topfour teams in college basketball
this season, and the second for Indiana, which beat then top-ranked
Michigan. It’s just the fourth with
a pair of Big Ten teams since
1997, according to STATS LLC.
First place in the Big Ten —
and perhaps top seeding in next
month’s NCAA tournament —
will be at stake with four games
remaining in the regular season
after this matchup.
And to add to the hype, former
Michigan State great Magic Johnson is scheduled to work the game
as an ESPN analyst.
“What I’m going to preach to
my guys is, these are opportunities that 99 percent of America
never get to be a part of,” Izzo
said.
While Izzo is embracing the significance of the showdown, Crean
insisted he won’t even mention
what is on the line when he talks
to his players.
“It’s another very big game and
right now at Indiana, and I’m sure
it’s this way at Michigan State,
every game is a big game,” Crean

said. “Not just because it’s a great
league, but because of where you
sit in the league and where you sit
nationally.
“Our guys have played in quite
a few of these types of games and
we’ve been in some tough environments. There’s no question that
the environments will be incredibly exciting.”
Crean would know, because
he was on Izzo’s bench in East
Lansing from the 1995-96 season
— Izzo’s first as a head coach —
through 1998-99, when the Spartans went to their first of three
straight Final Fours.
Izzo said coaching against his
former colleague is a little like
Crean’s brothers-in-law — John
and Jim Harbaugh — competing
on opposite sidelines earlier this
month in the Super Bowl.
“I don’t like doing it,” Izzo said.
“They didn’t like doing it. But
I thought John Harbaugh had a
great line, ‘The only thing that
could be worse than this is if one
of us didn’t make it.’”
The Hoosiers were expected to
be great — ranked No. 1 in the
preseason — and they have been
with center Cody Zeller, guard Victor Oladipo and forward Christian
Watford leading the way. They’ve
won three straight since losing by
two points at Illinois and eight of
their last nine games, including
a closely contested victory over
Michigan State last month.
“Indiana is playing at a level like
no other,” Izzo said. “They’ve sustained it the whole year, which, to

me, is one of the most impressive
things you can do.”
The Spartans, without AllAmerica forward Draymond
Green, were expected to be in
somewhat of a rebuilding mode.
Ranked No. 14 in the preseason,
they got their first quality victory by beating Kansas and have
steadily climbed in the poll by
winning five straight and 11 of
their last 12 games thanks to a
balanced offense and stifling defense.
“Their team is good, and they’ve
been good for a long time,” Crean
said. “To look at what they’re doing now and say, ‘Wow, they’re
doing such a good job,’ would discredit what they did in November,
December and January.”
On Jan. 27 at Assembly Hall,
Oladipo had 21 points, seven
rebounds, six steals and three
blocks to help the Hoosiers hold
off Michigan State in a 75-70 win.
Crean said he expects Oladipo
to play Tuesday, three days after
he limped off the court with a
sprained left ankle in the first half
of a win against Purdue and sat
out the second half.
Michigan State freshman guard
Gary Harris, an Indiana native,
said the Spartans will try to stop
Oladipo from doing what he does
best.
“He guards on the defensive end
and gets them going offensively in
transition,” Harris said. “We just
have to be smart, especially on the
offensive end because he plays the
passing lanes.”
