Trial set for April 30 in Marcy Craig case
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — One year to
the day after being arraigned on
three counts of aggravated robbery, Marcy Craig is scheduled
to stand trial on the charges.
Marcy Craig, 38, of Long Bottom, is now scheduled to stand
trial on April 30, as she faces
three counts of aggravated robbery for allegedly serving as an
accomplice to her brother, Alex
Craig, in the armed robberies

which occurred in March and
April 2012. Aggravated robbery
as charged is a felony of the first
degree which carries a maximum
prison sentence of 11 years and a
maximum fine of $20,000.
Marcy Craig and Alex Craig
were arraigned on April 30, 2012,
on charges related to those robberies. At the time of the initial arrest,
the state alleged that Marcy Craig
served as a driver for her brother
as he robbed the three gas stations.
The robberies occurred on
March 30 at the TNT PitStop in

Syracuse, April 2 at the TNT PitStop in Chester, and April 10 at
the 124 Mart near Pomeroy.
Craig’s trial is now set to begin
on April 30, with Judge Michael
Ward presiding. Current Meigs
County Common Pleas Judge
I. Carson Crow recused himself
from the case due to a conflict.
The trial was set to begin in late
January, but was continued due to
the death of the defendant’s father.

County Visitors Guide

POMEROY — Two people arrested following a drug
investigation were arraigned in Meigs County Court on
Thursday afternoon.
Larry Wilson, II, 37, of Detroit, and Miranda Hawley,
19, of Pomeroy, appeared before Judge Steve Story.
Wilson is charged with trafficking in heroin, a felony of
the third degree, and having a weapon under disability.
Hawley is charged with complicity to trafficking, a felony of the third degree, and child endangerment.
According to Assistant Prosecutor Amanda BizubFranzmann, bond for Wilson was set at $100,000 cash/
surety, and bond for Hawley was set at $10,000 with 10
percent permitted.
Both were arrested following an investigation by the
Pomeroy Police Department.
Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt and Patrolman Joe
Barnhart stated that approximately $35,000 in cash, suspected heroin, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and other
drugs were found in the residence on Butternut Avenue
during the execution of a search warrant by the department.
The individuals were arrested without incident. A
loaded .45 semi automatic gun was also found at the
residence. The Public Children Service Agency was also
called, though the report does not indicate children were
present at the time of the arrest.
Proffitt stated that the suspected heroin would be sent
to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to determine the exact weight. Some of the suspected drug was
packaged for sale according to Proffitt.
He stated that if the substance is determined to be heroin, it is the largest quantity he has seen in his more than
20 years in law enforcement, and is believed to be the
largest amount seized in Meigs County.

these fleur de lis decorations.

art, collectibles, gift certificates and home decor, as
well as other items.
Guests will enjoy New
Orleans-style appetizers
and cash bar will be available.
The event committee has
created unique decorations
to transform the event hall
into Mardi Gras, complete
with colorful beads, giant
masks, street lamps, etc.
Joseph Wright, FAC Executive Director explains the
event is a team effort.
“A large group of volunteers have worked for

weeks ensuring every aspect of this event is spectacular and will delight the
senses,” Wright said.
Mardi Gras Night is a
crucial fundraiser for the
French Art Colony. The
struggling economy, cuts
in government funding and
limited grant funding have
created significant challenges for the French Art
Colony. Fundraisers such
as this make it possible for
the non-profit organization to continue to meet
the multi-arts needs of the
community, including edu-

cational outreach programming, the Riverby Theater
Guild program, in-house
classes and workshops, gallery exhibits, community
events and more.

Pastor
what James stated
about dealing with “divers temptations.” Previously penned notes in the margins of the page
reminded me about some unique temptations
about which we do not usually consider.
The general tendency of church people is to
lump the issue of temptation with what we refer
to as “the lusts of the flesh.” Sensuality in all its
tempting aspects is the usual consideration.
With clarity, the Bible exhorts the people of
God to endure and resist those sensual temptations attempting to lead us to participate in those
matters which are contrary to the will of God for
our lives. Just like you, I have to strive to stay
strong in the Lord to avoid the pitfalls of these
obvious temptations. God expects us all to endure temptations as the Lord Himself endured
temptations.
But, for the lack of a better term, there are
those “unique” temptations which can also easily pull us away from fellowship with God. These
need to be endured as well.
For example, though one may not consider it,
there is the temptation to grow weary in welldoing. The Biblical exhortation is to not grow
weary in ministering good to others in the name
of Jesus Christ. This temptation tempts one to
lose spiritual zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord’s
service and ministry when what we are trying to
do does not appear to be accomplishing enough.
One becomes tempted to compromise faithfulness. One endures this temptation, however, by
remembering what a privilege it is to do what we
can to bring God honor and glory in all that we
do.
There is the temptation to become a whiner. A
whiner is one who gets self out of kilter with the
rigor of living the Christian life, such as Elijah.
One then becomes tempted to lead a life of solicitation for sympathy. Jealousy spurs a grumbling
attitude. There is the constant emphasis about
how busy we are. But, we endure this “unique”
temptation by focusing on the endurance of Jesus
Christ, who endured every inch of the Calvary
Road, who endured every moment Calvary pain,
and who endured while shedding every drop of
Calvary blood.
At times the temptation to despair confronts
us. The Apostle Paul was confronted with despair. Why was he able to endure it? It was because he remained committed to the plans and
purposes of God for his life. Furthermore, he
was convinced that God could handle the circumstances he was in, and he was willing to
absolutely trust God. As we do the same, we
will always endure and out-last the temptation
to despair.
Here is one that probably is never considered
to be a temptation — the temptation to think
that God is not doing enough for you. Those who
succumb to this temptation get led to look favorably on the things of world rather than keeping
faith and trust in the deep rich blessings of God.
Yielding to this temptation will breed bitterness
in the soul, and many find it a convenient excuse
to turn against God. But, keep your mind on the
debt Christ paid for your salvation, and, if that
does not stir thankfulness in your heart — well,
you just have a serious spiritual problem that
may reveal just what you are not as it involves
true relationship with God.
Yes, there are many other “unique” temptations to be ignored as well as endured. With the
Lord’s help, we can.

less beagles? He got them to run
rabbits; those that didn’t live up
to his criteria, he got rid of.
There was one notable exception, and it was “under grace”
only until its services were no
longer needed. The dog liked to
bark (too much, really), but in
the middle of the night his barking meant just one thing: a bear
was raiding the hives.
As you know, bears love honey; they may not like getting
stung by the bees, but they seem
willing enough to endure the
one to access the other. I should
also point out that bears are not
known for being neat and tidy;
it’s nothing for them to obliterate
a well-constructed hive!
God created bears with a
unique built-in G.P.S. system:
since bees range far and wide in
their search for pollen, sooner or
later they will cross paths with a
bear in the wild. When that happens, it’s likely the bear then will
do its utmost to follow that bee
back to the hive.
Did I mention bee hives also
attract skunks? Oh, yeah; Dad’s
did. F.Y.I.: skunks eat bees;

should you interfere, you’ll end
up very, very stinky!
Of course, if the skunk doesn’t
spray you the bees will “reward”
you for your trouble by stinging
you. Funny thing about bees: unless you’re the queen, or another
member of the same hive, you’re
not welcome anywhere near it —
no way, not at all!
Dad and Mom were losing
sleep, except that Dad still had to
get up early and go to work. Both
an electric fence and the State
Game Commission setting a trap
for the bear were ruled out as a
possible source of a lawsuit, and
the patience of the town police
was about exhausted.
So, Dad gave up bee-keeping
— lock, stock and barrel, so
to speak — including the canine warning system. Then, for
the first time in a long while,
peace and quiet again reigned
at night.
As for the bear, it went on
down the road, literally, got
struck by a car, and ended up
with all four of its paws broken.
The Game Commission then had
to put the bear out of its misery.

Even so, you and I aren’t bees,
bears or skunks! (Beekeepers,
maybe, but you get the idea.)
We’re children of The Most High
God, made in the image of the
Creator of the Earth and everyone and everything in it. How’s
your relationship with Him? Do
you resemble Him?
Perhaps it is to be expected
that our culture, now and again
embroiled in this or that brouhaha, should be so preoccupied
with all things mundane as to
be ignorant of those things divine and spiritual. Wise to the
ways of the world though we
may be, and sure of such things
as “the birds and the bees,” and
bears and skunks, let us also allow that miracles still happen,
too.
As the Church-here-and-now,
the state/world would much prefer we tone-down our “God talk,”
and lighten-up about the exclusivity and uniqueness of Christ.
God forbid we should be so compliant! Ours is not to conform to
the world, but to confront it and
be like Christ in it!

for a moment. Every one
of these mistakes or “mistakers” which the Bible
calls “sinners” also found
forgiveness in the site of
God after repentance was
uttered.
In addition, all these
mistakes demonstrate a
side of the God we serve.
That same Bible tells us
that we can have forgiveness for our mistakes just
like these people did. But
how do we do that?
Our sins can also be forgiven when we admit our
mistakes and turn to Jesus
asking for forgiveness and
surrender our whole heart
and life to Him receiving
Jesus as our personal Lord
and Savior.
The mistakes of life are
real and they are painful,

but Jesus can bring forgiveness and healing for
mistakes as well as total
restoration of God’s will
and plan for one’s life.
The Bible is a dangerous book. It turns our
lives completely around.
It removes the illness from
a sin-sick soul and transforms it into a new person
in Christ.
This book can even
change families, prisons,
and countries without the

book creates a holy chaos

And do not think for a moment
that our government can do the job.
If some can claim that “you can’t legislate morality,” I would most certainly
argue that “you cannot legislate compassion.” But even if the government’s
aims were actually practical (the redistribution of wealth from the wealthy
to the poor), such action will never
have the spirit of compassion of Jesus
behind it. The poor will be quietly relegated to the shadowy and quiet lines
of administrative bureaucracy, coldly
served and satiated. Never unearthed

hungers that lie beneath the surface
of their cry for food cards, clothing

Watch out! Don’t be one who waits
on the government to solve the problems of the poor! That job is for you
and for me! Besides, what about
needs that lie beyond the soil of the
“sovereignty” of the United States?
They are not beyond God’s reach.
And if you belong to Him, then they
are not beyond yours! Ministry to the
“poor” has been and continues to be a
hallmark of Christian ministry.
“For he (God) who worked through
Peter for his apostolic ministry to
the circumcised (Jews) worked also
through me for mine to the Gentiles
(non-Jews)… When James and Cephas (Peter) and John… perceived the
grace that was given to me, they gave
the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the
Gentiles and they to the circumcised
(Jews). Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do” (Galatians 2:9-10 ESV).
Even as the Gospel has long since
moved out from Jerusalem and the
rest of Judea into the wider world, the
admonition to “remember the poor”
continues to be an essential component of genuine Christian faith. You
and I can serve God by “remembering the poor” today. With God’s Spirit helping you, you can learn the joy
of serving Him by helping those who
suffer today from desperate need, in
our towns, our county, our state and
nation, and around the world.
Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in

Warren extends SEOAL All-Sports Trophy lead
Craig Dunn
Special to OVP

LOGAN, Ohio — By either
winning or sharing all three
winter sports championships,
Warren High School extended
its Southeastern Ohio Athletic
League William E. (Bill) Thomas
All-Sports Trophy lead into what
might be an insurmountable advantage.
Defending champion Warren
(45 total points) leads secondplace Logan (36) by nine points
with the five spring sports (base-

ball, softball, boys tennis, boys
track &amp; field and girls track &amp;
field) still remaining.
Chillicothe (33.5) is third, followed by Gallipolis (26.5), Jackson (25) and Portsmouth (14).
The only changes in the order
of placement from fall to winter
are in the second and third positions, with Logan passing Chillicothe to take the runner-up spot.
Warren won the wrestling and
boys basketball championships
and tied Jackson for the girls basketball title to garner 16.5 of a
possible 17 winter sports points.

Logan, which was second in
wrestling, third in girls basketball and tied for third in boys
basketball, made up four points
to pass Chillicothe, which tied
for third in basketball while finishing fourth in wrestling and
fifth in girls basketball.
All-Sports Trophy points are
determined on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis
in sports where all six schools
field full teams. In other sports,
points are determined as to
how many teams competed for
the title, with fractional points
awarded in case of ties. At least

four schools must field teams for
points to count in a particular
sport.
Since Portsmouth doesn’t have
wrestling, for example, those
points were determined on a 5-43-2-1 basis. Four-team sports are
scored on a 4-3-2-1 basis.
Chillicothe leaves the SEOAL for the South Central Ohio
League after the current school
year. Athens High School (in
boys and girls soccer and boys
and girls tennis) and Alexander
High School (boys and girls soccer) join the league as associate

members beginning next fall,
although those points will not
count in the All-Sports Trophy
standings.
The SEOAL, one of the longest-running prep conferences in
the state, was formed by William
E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston
in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that
spring, with 1925-26 being the
first full season of conference
competition.
Craig Dunn is the sports editor of the Logan
Daily News in Logan, Ohio.

Buffalo ends
season for White
Falcons, 69-58

BUFFALO, W.Va. — The Wahama boys basketball team
had its 2012-13 campaign come to an end Wednesday
night following a 69-58 setback to host Buffalo in a Class
A Region IV, Section 2 semifinal contest at The Barn in
Putnam County.
The third-seeded White Falcons (10-13) managed to
keep pace with the second-seeded Bison (20-3) for a half,
but the guests lost grip of the reins in the third canto —
as BHS made a 22-11 charge to turn a three-point halftime
lead into a sizable 59-45 cushion headed into the finale.
Wahama managed to pull within seven points with a little over four minutes left in regulation, but Buffalo closed
the game with a 10-6 spurt to wrap up its third win over
WHS this year while also securing a date at Charleston
Catholic in the Section 2 final on Friday night.
Wahama — which lost 75-67 and 100-67 in both previous matchups — played about as well against the eighthranked team in the state as possible. But as WHS coach
Mike Wolfe noted afterwards, Buffalo has more than
enough firepower to get away from any opponent in a
very short amount of time.
“We had a real good game plan coming in and our guys
executed it to the letter there in the first half,” Wolfe said.
“The bottom line is this though. Buffalo is just a little faster than us and they are able to score both inside and out.
“We knew we had to survive some runs, and we did a
good job of that until the third quarter. They made that
run and it was just too much for us to overcome. I’m
proud that my guys played hard and gave it everything
they had until the final buzzer tonight.”
There were nine lead changes and five ties in the contest, and all of those came in the opening 16 minutes
of play. Wahama also owned the biggest lead for either
squad before the break at eight points.
The White Falcons jumped out to an early 4-0 edge, but
the Bison countered with a 7-3 run to knot things up at
the 5:15 mark of the opening period. Wahama answered
with a 5-0 surge over the next 88 seconds for a 12-7 cushion, but Levi Jordan netted three straight trifectas to give

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— Top seed for a reason.
The number one seed
Pike Eastern boys basketball team topped ninth
seed South Gallia 77-44
in Wednesday night’s
sectional final at Larry
R. Morrison Gymnasium
on the campus of Meigs
High School.
South Gallia (7-17)
scored the opening bucket of the game with, but
the Eagles (18-3) scored
the next nine points to
take to seven point lead at
the 4:30 mark of the first.
The Rebels got back on
track with back-to-back
buckets near the midway
point of the quarter. Eastern closed the opener
with a 14-to-2, expanding
its lead to 23-8.
SGHS began the second period with a 5-0 run,
but the Eagles answered
with a 13-to-5 spurt.
South Gallia scored six
straight points sparked by
a technical foul called on
Eastern’s Brandon Murphy. The Eagles stretched
their lead back out with a
1:30 10-0 run, but SGHS
scored four unanswered
points to close the half.
EHS held a 46-28 advantage at the break. South
Gallia was out rebounded
12-to-4 in the first period
but the Rebels flipped the
script in the second, out
rebounding the Eagles
10-to-5.
South Gallia out scored
EHS 5-to-4 in the opening two minutes of the
second half but Eastern
rallied with an 18-to-4 run

to end the period with a
68-37 advantage.The Rebels shot just 4-of-19 in the
third quarter, while Eastern shot 8-of-13.
The Eagles slowed
the pace and out scored
South Gallia 9-to-7 over
the final eight minutes of
regulation, securing the
77-44 victory.
“Eastern is going to
be a tough out for anybody, I can’t believe how
well they shoot the ball,”
said first year South Gallia coach Larry Howell.
“We knew we had to play
almost a perfect game to
beat them. Seeing them
on tape doesn’t tell the
truth on how good they
are and they will be a
tough out for anybody.”
The Rebels were led
by Brayden Greer with
nine points, followed by
Landon Hutchinson, Michael Wheeler and Ethan
Swain with eight points
apiece. Kody Lambert
marked five points, Gus
Slone added four, while
Jared Calhoun rounded
out the SGHS total with
two points.
South Gallia shot 17of-57 (29.8 percent) from
the field, including 0-of15 from beyond the arc.
The Rebels were 10-of-16
from the charity stripe
for 62.5 percent. The
Red and Gold had 28 rebounds and one block in
the game, while committing 15 turnovers and 12
personal fouls. Swain received a technical foul at
the 2:37 mark of the third
period.
South Gallia was held
under their season average of 49.2 points per

game, while Eastern
marked more than their
average of 66.5 points per
game.
The Orange and Brown
were led by Chad Lands
with 24 points and Tavares Pickett with 17. Josh
Thacker had 10 points,
Justin Fultz added eight,
Alex Phipps marked seven, while Colton Lightte
and Tre Lykins both had
four. Trace Creech contributed two points, while
Matt Dyke rounded out
the EHS scoring with one
point.
The Eagles shot 12-of19 (63.2 percent) from
the line and 28-of-63
(44.4 percent) from the
field, including 9-of-20
(45 percent) from beyond
the arc. EHS recorded 43
rebounds and six blocks,
while committing 13
turnovers and 11 person-

al fouls. Murphy had the
team’s lone technical at
the 3:11 mark of the second period.
The Eagles also ended
South Gallia run last
season, but it was in the
district final at the Convo. Eastern will face fifth
seeded Fairfield at the
Convo on March 5th at
6:15 p.m.
This marks the final
game for SGHS seniors
Tyler Reynolds, C.J. Johnston, Alex Stapleton, Tyler
Pope and Kody Lambert.
“For my first year I
couldn’t have asked for a
better group of seniors,”
Howell said. “Winning a
basketball game isn’t as
important as what they
will do with the rest of
their lives, and with their
work ethic and attitude
they’re going to be successful.”

make our offense work. He missed a
couple through passes, but at the end
of the day he made enough of them.”
The Big 12 Conference’s leading
scorer was one of three Bears who

scored double figures Wednesday to
help edge West Virginia 65-62 to snap
a three-game losing string and keep
hopes alive of an at-large NCAA tournament bid.
The Bears (17-11 overall, 8-7 Big
12) not only had lost three in a row,
but six of their past eight. Coming in,
they led West Virginia (13-15, 6-9) by
just one game for sixth place in the
league.
West Virginia has lost three in a row
and is in danger of having the first
losing season in the program since
former coach John Beilein’s first year

here in 2002-03. That group finished
14-15. The Mountaineers have gone
to five straight NCAA tournaments
under coach Bob Huggins.
Baylor was led by Isaiah Austin’s
21 points. Jackson added 15 and A.J.
Walton finished with 10 before fouling
out.
Freshman guard Eron Harris scored
a career-high 25 points for the Mountaineers. Kevin Noreen finished with
10.
Noreen’s 3-point shot brought the
Mountaineers within 63-62 with 1:36

half.
Jackson was 1 of 3 from
the floor in the first half, his
second straight slow start.
In a 90-76 loss to Oklahoma
last Saturday, he was just 1
of 8 from the floor in the
first half, but he finished
with 28 points for the game.
After scoring only five
points before intermission,
he had 10 in the second half.
“I was just trying to get

everyone involved. I got
Brady (Heslip) some good
shots and Isaiah some good
shots. I didn’t want to force
anything, any shots that I
didn’t have to. Second half,
it’s my job to start being
more aggressive and just do
anything I can to get points
on the board and get stops,”
Jackson said.
Baylor trailed the Sooners by 26 a game ago and
was behind West Virginia
by five this night.
In fact, West Virginia led
39-32 with 17:30 remaining before Baylor scored
five points in 1 minute, 13

seconds to make it 39-37.
West Virginia kept Baylor at arm’s length at 48-43
with 13:19 showing until
the Bears mounted their
second comeback of the
half. They scored seven in
a row with a key 3-pointer
by Gary Franklin to give the
visitors their first lead, 5048, since 9:56 was left in the
first half.
After Harris — who hit
7 of 14 shots and 10 of
13 free throws — tied the
game with two foul shots at
the 9:33 mark, the 7-foot-1
Austin knocked in his second trey of the night.

The score was 53-50
with 9:17 left. Baylor never
trailed again.
Noreen’s
late-game
3-pointer pulled WVU within one, but Austin blocked
Staten’s shot at the end.
“In the scouting report,
Coach said (Staten’s) favorite was the left-hand, hesitation pull-up, so that’s what
he did, and I just stuck my
left hand up there and got a
piece of it,” said Austin.
The Mountaineers outrebounded the Bears 4232, including 21-12 on the
offensive end. However,
Huggins’ team was just 8

of 29 from the field (27.6
percent) in the second half
and made 35.7 percent (20
of 56) for the game.
Baylor was 12 of 23 in the
second half (52.2 percent)
and 43.4 percent (23 of 53)
in the game.
Harris became the first
West Virginia player to
score at least 20 in a game
since Jan. 23. His best night
as a freshman was only the
seventh game this season a
Mountaineer has scored at
least 20.
West Virginia has scored
as many as 65 points only
five times this season.

the hosts a 16-12 lead with 1:58
remaining in the stanza.
Dylan Rich netted a field goal
at the 1:16 mark to give BHS its
biggest lead of the first half at
18-12, but Wahama countered
with a 6-2 run to close the first
quarter trailing by a slim 20-18
margin.
Trenton Gibbs tied the game
at 20-all with a field goal 26
seconds into the second period,
which sparked an 8-0 run to start
the quarter. Another Gibbs basket at the 5:19 mark capped that
surge and gave WHS its biggest
lead of the night at 28-20.
Buffalo retaliated with a 10-0
charge over the next 2:35 to reclaim the lead at 30-28, but Wahama answered with a small 5-3

spurt for the final tie of the contest at 33-all with 1:23 remaining
in the half.
Jordan Fletcher netted a basket at the 1:08 mark, giving BHS
a permanent lead at 35-33. The
hosts closed the half with a 2-1
run for a 37-34 deficit at the intermission.
The White Falcons made 11of-29 field goals before the break
for 38 percent, including a 6-of13 effort from three-point range
for 46 percent. WHS also had 10
turnovers in the first half, compared to seven by the hosts. BHS
made 14-of-35 shot attempts for
40 percent before halftime, including a 6-of-13 performance
from behind the arc for 46 percent.
The Bison made their big
charge in the opening five minutes

of the third quarter, as the hosts
went on a 20-5 run for a 57-39 lead
with 3:03 left in the period. WHS
answered with six straight points
to get to within 57-45 with 1:12
remaining, but a Brad Harris basket with eight seconds left allowed
Buffalo to secure a 59-45 cushion
headed into the fourth.
BHS had four turnovers and
11 missed field goals in the opening three minutes of the finale,
and Wahama managed to close
to within 59-52 with 4:23 left
in the contest. WHS, however,
was never closer the rest of the
way, as Dylan Rich capped a 10-6
run with a run-out two-handed
slam just before the buzzer — allowing the Bison to secure the
11-point decision.
Wahama was 21-of-64 from the
field for 33 percent overall, in-

cluding a 9-of-28 effort from behind the arc for 32 percent. The
guests committed 18 turnovers
and also went 7-of-15 at the free
throw line for 47 percent.
Austin Jordan led WHS with
21 points, followed by Trenton
Gibbs with 17 points and Wyatt
Zuspan with 14 markers. Hunter
Bradley and Dakota Sisk rounded
out the scoring with five points
and one point, respectively.
Buffalo netted 26-of-67 shot
attempts for 39 percent overall,
including an 11-of-23 effort from
three-point territory for 48 percent. The hosts committed 16
turnovers and also went 6-of-8 at
the charity stripe for 75 percent.
Levi Jordan paced BHS with a
game-high 30 points, 25 of which
came before halftime. Laythen
Good was next with 16 points,

followed by Dylan Rich with 11
points and Isaiah Robinson with
six markers. Brad Harris and
Jordan Fletcher rounded out the
respective scoring with four and
two points.
It was the final basketball
game for seniors Austin Jordan,
Trenton Gibbs, Jacob Ortiz, Dakota Sisk and Preston Hudnall in
the Red and White.
“I’m sure these five young men
will go on to do bigger and better
things,” Wolfe said. “I’m excited
for them in that sense, but I will
miss them. They’ve made a lot of
great contributions to this program over the years.”
Wahama finished the season
with a 7-9 mark in the TVC
Hocking Division, which earned
a share of sixth place in the
standings with Eastern.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,
March 1, 2013:
This year no one can deny the fact
that you are able to tackle a problem
and work through it. When it comes to
personal issues, you are able to look
within yourself and find a solution. You
will gain in different facets of your life
because of your sense of responsibility. If you are single, someone quite
different barrels into your life when
you least expect it. If you are attached,
as a couple, you might want to plan a
trip away from your normal stomping
grounds. In a new setting, you will be
able to revitalize the strength of your
bond. SCORPIO brings out your confident side.
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 become energized
when dealing with a difficult associate
or boss. The longer you choose to
indulge him or her, the more difficult it
will be to change the situation. A partner might take a stand, which could
make this person even more irritating.
Tonight: Avoid crowds.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Others come forward and
try once more to get you to agree with
them. Granted, their approach might
be totally different, but the result will
be the same. Dig into your creativity
when you decide to approach certain
people about recent events. Tonight:
Defer to someone else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You have a distinctive style
that encourages others to head in a
different direction. You know how to
communicate your bottom line. You
discover that you are unusually busy
and might not have much time to
have a discussion. Tonight: Join a coworker.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH As you see someone
change in front of your very eyes,
you might wonder how to relate to
this person now. Will the same style
of communication be effective? Take
your cues from the other party. Start
thinking about a trip in the near future.
Tonight: Let loose.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You are coming from a more
secure position. Understand that the
pressure that is building is coming
from a judgment you are making. Your
creativity helps you work through some
of the issues involved. You gain a
better sense of your abilities. Tonight:
Head on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Make a change, only if you
consider it necessary. You will talk
through this decision, and others seem
to help you see how you can make
this transformation easier. Give yourself the time and space to figure out
which way might be best. Tonight: Visit
with a friend over dinner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Don’t go overboard handling
an issue that might make you very
uncomfortable. Understand the alternatives. Tap into different ideas to find
a way to work through this problem.
The solution might not be one that you
would have imagined. Tonight: Your
treat.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You see a certain liability
approaching a matter as you have.
Discuss how you feel with the other
parties involved. An exchange of ideas
could be full of surprises. Others tap
into your creativity, and you might tap
into their sensitivity. Tonight: Find a
reason to celebrate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH The less said, the better off
you are. You might need to ask questions and do some research about
a money “hunch.” Your instincts are
excellent at the moment, but someone
could be deceptive. Keep your guard
up. Tonight: Head home early, even if
meeting friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You are more than aware
of the potential of an offer or an idea.
You might need to make a big adjustment or change if you head down that
specific path. A friend could be rigid
and not willing to negotiate. Be calm
yet assertive. Tonight: Hang with your
friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH You obviously know what you
are doing by letting someone else take
the lead. You could question excessive demands from a higher-up. Still,
you know your role in this situation. If
you opt to change your attitude, you
might need to hang with a different
group. Tonight: In the limelight.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You might want to head in a
different direction. Pressure builds, and
you could have difficulty doing what
you want. In fact, you might not be
able to visualize your desires. Refuse
to make a commitment just yet; you
will be on firmer ground soon. Tonight:
Let go of today.
