For the past 15 years, Alan Shawn Feinstein has been giving away $1 million annually to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country who donate to the cause of feeding the poor.

Donations can include cash and checks as well as food items. Chadwell said Alan Shawn Feinstein believes each of us was put here on earth to do what we can to help those in need and added that also is the philosophy of the Amazing Grace Church. This has become the greatest grass roots campaign ever to fight hunger in our country, she added. Monetary donations can be mailed to the Amazing Grace Community Church in care of Daryl Collins, treasurer at 1720 Cornes Road in Little Hocking, Ohio 45742. Food items can be dropped off at the Amazing Grace Community Church on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. or on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. or by calling Pastor Wayne Dunlap at 740-667-0194 to make other arrangements.

Eight arrested during weekend drug bust in Glenwood Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com GLENWOOD — A week after five people were arrested during a drug bust in Ashton, eight people were taken into custody in Glenwood on Saturday and are now facing criminal charges in relation to another drug bust investigated by the Mason County Sheriff’s Department with assistance from the West Virginia State Police. Sheriff Greg Powers said seven people were arrested by his department on Saturday, an eighth person was arrested by the W.Va. State Police and a ninth remains at large after a search warrant was executed at a residence along W.Va. 2 in Glenwood. The warrant was obtained after an investigation by the sheriff’s department. Arrested at the scene by personnel with the sheriff’s department were Jami D. Bush, 21, Glenwood; Cameron S. Deal, 22, Glenwood; Joshua S. McFann, 22, Lesage; Samantha S. Hale, 32, Glenwood; Charles Shaffer, 33, Glenwood; Amy M. Johnson, 34, Ashton; Dale Hughes, 48, Glenwood. Arrested by the W.Va. State Police was Jerry L. Chapman, 26, Glenwood. Powers also said a warrant was being issued for the Glenwood property owner, Ariscelene Fowler, who is facing a charge of operate or attempt to operate a clandestine drub lab. According to the criminal complaint filed in Mason County Magistrate Court, Cpl. F.O. Terry of the sheriff’s department arrested a suspect on March 23 shortly after he left Fowler’s residence. The suspect allegedly told Terry he’d made a deal with Fowler to purchase 30 “nerve pills.” The complaint then states the suspect said he went back to Fowler’s home to make the purchase but couldn’t, due to Fowler being asleep after allegedly “partying and cooking meth all night.” After this interview cited in the complaint, the search warrant on the Glenwood residence was obtained. The search warrant included the entire “compound” which consisted of three mobile homes, two campers and two out buildings. During the search of the camper, later identified as the residence of Shaffer and Hale, a gas generator, part of a lab was found, according to the complaint. Also found in the camper, a duffel bag allegedly containing all the physical parts of a meth lab. Due to this discovery, both Shaffer and Hale were charged with operate See BUST ‌| 5 �Tuesday, March 26, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Community Calendar Tuesday: Scattered snow showers before 3 p.m., then scattered rain and snow showers.

Search for missing woman uncovers glasses, little else Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — As day four of the local search for missing woman Sharin Yoczik wrapped up Monday, Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning reported that a search with canine assistance along the Ohio River turned up a pair of eyeglasses, but the woman has yet to be found. Yoczik, 68, was reported missing Friday when her husband reportedly returned home around noon to find her missing from their home on Neighborhood Road near the junction of Ohio 218. Deputies are currently searching the Neighborhood Road area near Ohio 7 for Yoczik. She is described as a white female, five feet, two inches tall, approximately 120 pounds, with blue eyes and grey hair. Browning said the glasses that were discovered along the river, parallel to Ohio 7 and near the junction of Ohio 218, have not yet been confirmed to be those of Yoczik’s. Browning also told the Gallipolis Daily Tribune that the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) has joined local law enforcement in working the case.

The Ohio Tax Credit Authority on Monday approved assistance for 13 projects expected to create more than 1,400 jobs and retain close to 3,000 positions statewide. The tax credit body reviewed proposals from the economic development nonprofit, JobsOhio, and its regional partners. Together the projects are expected to result in more than $57 million in new payroll, and spur about $86 million in investment across Ohio. Verizon plans to add 500 full-time positions as a result of the company’s consolidation project in the Columbus suburb of Hilliard. affirmative action case WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s decision to hear a new case from Michigan on the politically charged issue of affirmative action offers an intriguing hint that the justices will not use a separate challenge already pending from Texas for a broad ruling bringing an end to the consideration of race in college admissions. To be sure, the two cases involve different legal issues. The University of Texas dispute, with arguments already completed and a ruling possible soon, centers on the use of race to fill some slots in the school’s freshman classes. The Michigan case asks whether a voter-approved ban on affirmative action in college admissions can itself violate the Constitution. But the broadest possible outcome in the current Texas case — overruling the court’s 2003 decision that allows race as a factor in college admissions — would mean an end to affirmative action in higher education and render the new Michigan lawsuit irrelevant. If the justices are planning to overrule that earlier decision, “then I would think they would hold this case,” the new one, and order lower courts to review it based on the Texas decision, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine. He is representing students and faculty members in the Michigan case. At the October argument in Fisher v. University of Texas, the court’s conservative justices sounded as if they were ready to impose new limits on the use of race in college admissions. More than five months have passed without a decision, which is not unusual in the court’s most contentious cases. The appeal in the Michigan case comes from state Attorney General Bill Schuette, following a ruling from the sharply divided 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The appeals court, by an 8-7 vote, found fault with the 2006 constitutional amendment to outlaw “preferential treatment” on the basis of race and other factors in college admissions. The provision also applies to affirmative action in public employment and government contracting, but those issues are not being challenged. The appeals court said the constitutional amendment is illegal under Supreme Court rulings from the late 1960s and early 1980s that prohibit placing special burdens on minority groups that want to bring about changes in laws and policies. The court said that forcing opponents of the ban to mount their own long, expensive campaign through the ballot box to protect affirmative action amounts to different, and unequal, treatment. That burden “undermines the Equal Protection Clause’s guarantee that all citizens ought to have equal access to the tools of political change,” the appeals court said. By way of example, the court said that children of university alumni remain free to lobby lawmakers and university officials to adopt policies to take family ties into account in admissions. Schuette said the notion that a measure that forbids discrimination on the basis of race can be unconstitutional is legal nonsense. “Entrance to our great colleges and universities must be based upon merit, and I remain optimistic moving forward in our fight for equality, fairness and rule of law at our nation’s highest court,” Schuette said Monday. The American Civil Liberties Union’s Dennis Parker said the constitutional ban discriminates against students of color. “Michigan’s proposal aims to unfairly keep students from encouraging universities to consider race as one factor in admissions but does not do the same for those who are trying to get the school to acknowledge other factors, such as legacy or athletic achievement,” said Parker, director of the ACLU’s Racial Justice Program Both the Michigan and Texas cases trace their roots to the same Supreme Court decision in 2003 — Grutter v. Bollinger — that upheld the use of race by colleges and universities in their quest for diverse student bodies. The ruling came in a lawsuit involving the University of Michigan law school. In response to the court’s 5-4 decision in that case, affirmative action opponents worked to put a ballot measure in front of voters that would outlaw the consideration of race. Similar laws are in place in Arizona, California, Florida, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington, Arizona Attorney General Thomas Horne said in a legal briefing supporting Michigan. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!

But these beets won’t be processed into sugar. A dozen farmers, supported by university experts and a $5 million state grant, are set to start construction of a Fresno County demonstration plant that will convert the beets into ethanol. If the demo project in Five Points succeeds, the farmers will build the nation’s first commercialscale bio-refinery in nearby Mendota to turn beets into biofuel. Europe already has more than a dozen such plants, but most ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn. California energy officials say the beet plant is an example of expanding state investment in biofuel production and an innovative way to achieve the state’s goal of increasing alternative fuel use over the next decade. “We’re trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to shift our transportation fuels to a lower carbon content,” said Robert Weisenmiller, chair of the California Energy Commission, which awarded the grant. “The beets have the potential to provide that.” The farmers say socalled energy beets can deliver ethanol yields more than twice those of corn per acre. That’s because beets have a higher sugar content per ton than corn. And, the farmers say, the bio-refinery would bring jobs and investment to an area that’s dealing with water pumping restrictions and overly salty soils. “This project is about ru- ral development. It’s about bringing a better tax base to this area and bringing jobs for the people,” said John Diener, a grower who farms about 5,000 acres of diverse crops in Five Points and whose ranch will house the demonstration plant. Driven by a federal mandate to reduce dependence on foreign oil, America’s ethanol industry has boomed over the past decade. Plants in 28 states now produce more than 13 billion gallons of ethanol each year, according to Geoff Cooper, vice president for research and analysis for the Renewable Fuels Association. Today, nearly all the gasoline sold in the U.S. contains the biofuel, generally at the 10 percent level. About 95 percent of U.S. ethanol is made from corn, Cooper said. But that percentage could soon change because the Renewable Fuel Standard, established by Congress in 2005 and later expanded, caps the amount of ethanol produced from corn at 15 billion gallons. Dozens of non-corn ethanol plants are now being developed and constructed throughout the country, experts say. Other California projects involve producing biofuels from food processing wastes, remains from field crops and manure from the dairy and poultry industries. Across the U.S., plants are looking at converting wheat straw, municipal waste and wood pulp into biofuel. In central California, the bio-refinery would resurrect a crop that has nearly vanished. The birthplace of the sugar beet industry, California once grew over 330,000 acres of the gnarly root vegetable, with 11 sugar mills processing the beets. But as sugar prices collapsed, the mills shut down. Only one remains in the Imperial Valley.

The farmers flew twice to Europe to tour beetbased biofuel facilities. This month, Mendota Bioenergy LLC — the company formed by the cooperative — received a grant to build the demo plant, which will turn about 250 acres of beets into 285,000 gallons of ethanol per year. If it’s successful, a commercial bio-refinery would be built in Mendota, capable of producing 40 million gallons of ethanol annually. The bio-refinery, to debut in 2016, would put a total of about 80 beet growers and 35,000 acres back into production. Both the demo plant and the commercial plant would run year-round and use beets grown by local farmers. The plants will also burn almond prunings and other wood waste to generate electricity for internal use and will convert some of those prunings into ethanol. They will process waste pulp from the beets to produce biomethane for compressed natural gas, and will produce fertilizer and recycle water for irrigation. To area farmers, the beets are an ideal crop: they grow in poor and salty soils, and can use lesser-quality water, said Frank DelTesta, a third generation farmer who used to grow 150 acres of beets in Tranquility and is now growing some for the demo plant. “Everybody liked growing beets, because they grew well here,” DelTesta said. “My family has been growing beets for generations and not having that crop in our rotation has affected the yields for other crops like cotton.” NOME, Alaska — If you want to see mushers cross the finish line at the world’s most famous sled dog race in March 2014, better make your reservations soon. There aren’t many hotel rooms available at the end of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Nome, leaving mushers and their families battling with fans, tourists and volunteers for a place to sleep. “Call early and get going,” advised Richard Beneville, a Nome tour company operator and chamber of commerce official. The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race always starts the first Saturday in March in Anchorage with a ceremonial run. The competitive race starts the next day in Willow, about 50 miles north of Anchorage. Both events draw huge numbers of fans since both cities are accessible on Alaska’s limited road system. But getting to the end of the race might be as difficult for a fan as it is to a musher. Mushers will travel with their dog teams a thousand miles (1,600 kilometers) over treacherous Alaska wilderness to reach Nome, a Bering Sea coastal community located on Alaska’s wind-whipped western coast. The winner usually comes in about nine days after the Willow start. For fans traveling to Nome, flights aren’t a problem. What is tricky, however, is finding a place to stay. Nome, with a population of 3,500, has only three hotels. Altogether, there are 134 hotel rooms available. All three hotels have varying policies when it comes to reservations during Iditarod week. The Nugget Inn is located right in front of the burled arch, the famous finish line for the Iditarod on Front Street, a block off the Bering Sea — which in March is still frozen and often serves as a runway for small airplanes. The inn has 46 rooms, but also serves as the home hotel for Iditarod officials and volunteers. Manager Thuy Nguyen said they require a stay of seven nights or longer for reservations made by Jan. 1. Then they will start accepting reservations for shorter stays. The Polaris Hotel has 34 rooms, all of which but a handful have already been booked for next year. Manager Tina Yi says the hotel, 20 steps from the finish line, has a sliding cancellation fee. It ranges from losing 25 percent of your deposit if you cancel more than 90 days out to no refund if the cancellation is within 30 days of the reservation. The city’s largest and newest hotel is the Aurora Inn. They don’t open reservations for Iditarod week until April 1, and always sell out the same day. Reservations for the inn’s 54 rooms are only accepted by email and on a first- 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.

The emails provide a time-stamp on the order that reservations come in. “People pretty much at the stroke of midnight send their emails,” said assistant manager Sean Knudsen. “There’s a real narrow window.” They do keep a waiting list, but Knudsen says he eventually closes it because it gets so long. Adding to a space crunch is that film crews are in Nome filming the popular cable show, “Bering Sea Gold.” B&Bs are another option, but they also sell out quickly. “After all the hotels are booked and the B&Bs, we go into Plan B, which is overflow housing,” Beneville said. Beginning in February, once the commercial rooms are all taken, the Nome Visitors Center begins a file that will eventually match homeowners to travelers. Townspeople call the center, saying they have space for rent that week and what their requirements are: male or female, smoker or nonsmoker, partier or tea-totaler. When people call in looking for a room, visitors center staff try to match them up. Beneville described this makeshift hostelling as “kind of fun.” Be prepared though. Experiences, the type of room or space offered and prices vary by homeowner. You might be sharing your space with a toddler’s toys, rowdy housemates or lots of pets. If lucky enough to get a room, visitors will be able to witness the end of the rugged Iditarod race. Besides the winner, the race’s other mushers will trickle in for a few days. But the Iditarod isn’t the only draw. Nome is still a frontier type of town, where downtown bars are as popular now as when Old West lawman Wyatt Earp owned the Dexter on Front Street at the turn of the last century. Beneville described the celebratory atmosphere of the Iditarod as “Mardi Gras with dogs.” For those needing a break from dogs or the bar, there’s a huge Alaska Native art and craft fair that goes on during Iditarod week. The town also hosts its annual basketball tournament, drawing 70 teams from Norton Sound communities. This year, Howard Farley, an Iditarod founder who helped establish Nome as the race’s finish, gave daily talks at the city’s library, drawing overflow crowds and repeat listeners. Beneville, a former New York actor, has been known to don a top hat and recite the poetry of Robert Service — often called the “Bard of the Yukon” — to crowds at the Nome Convention Center waiting for the next musher to come in. Tour companies in the past also have arranged visits to Safety, the last Iditarod checkpoint 22 miles from Nome. Other winter tours take tourists outside town to look for musk oxen in the wild. You might even see the northern lights. “Nome is a very cool place. Period,” Beneville said.

Rare tiger cubs born at Columbus Zoo COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium says four rare Amur tiger cuts have been born at the zoo, the second-such litter in a year. The zoo says the cubs are being cared for by their mother and the family is being monitored by an animal care team using a camera in the tigers’ den. The cubs are the second for the mother, 6-year-old Mara, and a 10-year-old male, Foli. Two cubs born in June had to be hand-raised by staff because of concerns about the first-time mother’s care and disruptions to the monitoring camera because of a power outage. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection improperly left 255 streams totaling about 1,000 miles off a list of impaired waterways it submitted for approval last fall, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Monday. Those waterways must be added to comply with the federal Clean Water Act and will bring the new list to nearly 1,200 rivers and streams, the EPA said. In January, environmental groups threatened to sue the EPA if it didn’t force West Virginia to enforce the law. Once waterways are des- ignated as impaired, states or the EPA must develop plans to restore them. The West Virginia Sierra Club, West Virginia Highlands Conservancy and Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition accused the DEP of colluding with polluters to help them skirt federal law and avoid hundreds of millions of dollars in cleanup costs. The Legislature, those groups argued, has also collaborated with the DEP by passing weaker waterquality standards last year. Rather than submit those standards to EPA for consideration, they said, the DEP “has defiantly taken the indefensible position that it is not a revision.” Allowing the state to go unchallenged would effectively tell polluters they can defy the law “without consequence,” the environmental groups said. DEP spokeswoman Kathy Cosco said the state won’t challenge EPA’s decision but needs more time to write the rules to implement the new state standards. West Virginia has eight to 13 years to develop pollution limits called Total Maximum Daily Load, she said. So “”taking a year to establish a scientific method for determining the health of the state’s streams rath- er than using an over-simplified and arbitrary limit for conductivity … is not a crisis.” “When you look at the big picture, water quality in the state has continued to improve over the years,” Cosco added. “West Virginia was one of the first states to place water quality based effluent limits in it mining permits, and ours was the first state Legislature to pass a law regarding anti-degradation for state streams.” The EPA said it’s legally obligated to ensure the requirements of Clean Water Act are met. The agency will publish its finding April 15 then take public comment for 30 days. Kerry, Karzai bury hatchet in Kabul meeting KABUL (AP) — Eager to overcome a bout of bickering, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a show of unusual unity between their two nations on Monday. The friendly display came as the U.S. military ceded control of its last detention facility in Afghanistan, ending a longstanding irritant in relations. Kerry arrived in the Afghan capital of Kabul on an unannounced visit amid concerns that Karzai may be jeopardizing progress in the war against extremism with anti-American rhetoric. After a private meeting, Kerry said he and Karzai were “on the same page” on security and reconciliation issues and brushed aside suggestions that relations were in peril. Karzai infuriated U.S. officials earlier this month by accusing Washington of colluding with Taliban insurgents to keep Afghanistan weak even as the Obama administration pressed ahead with plans to hand off security responsibility to Afghan forces and end NATO’s combat mission by the end of next year. At a joint news conference after their talks, Karzai told reporters that his comments in a nationally televised speech had been misinterpreted by the media. Kerry demurred on that point but said people sometimes say things in public that reflect ideas they have heard from others but don’t necessarily agree with. “I am confident the president (Karzai) does not believe the U.S. has any interest except to see the Taliban come to the table to make peace and that we are completely cooperative with the government of Afghanistan with respect to the protection of their efforts and their people,” Kerry said. He noted that he had specifically raised the comment in question with Karzai and was satisfied with the response. “We’re on the same page,” Kerry said. “I don’t think there is any disagreement between us and I am very, very comfortable with the president’s explanation.” For his part, Karzai said that he had been trying to make the point in his speech that if the Taliban really wanted foreign troops out of Afghanistan they should stop killing people. In the March 9 speech, he berated the Taliban for deadly bombings in Kabul and the city of Khost that he said “showed that they are at the service of America and at the service of this phrase: 2014,” — the withdrawal date set for most international forces. Karzai suggested in the speech that the U.S. and the Taliban were working together “trying to frighten us into thinking that if the foreigners are not in Afghanistan, we would be facing these sorts of incidents.” Standing beside Kerry on Monday, Karzai said “today was a very good day,” citing the turnover of the detention facility at the U.S.-run Bagram military base north of Kabul. He also expressed gratitude for the sacrifices made for his country by Americans. At the same time, he defended allegations he has made about American troops or their local contractors abusing Afghan civilians. He said his complaints and criticism were not meant to “offend” anyone but rather to protect his people. “When I say something publicly, it is not meant to offend our allies but to correct the situation,” he said. “I am responsible for the protection of the Afghan people. I am the president of this country. It is my job to provide all the protection I can to the people of this country.” Karzai has ordered U.S. special operations forces out of Wardak province, just outside Kabul, because of allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior. Kerry and Karzai’s news conference came near the beginning of Kerry’s 24-hour visit to the country — his sixth since President Barack Obama took office but his first as Obama’s secretary of state. Kerry referred frequently to U.S. respect for Afghan sovereignty and he said the handover of the detention facility was testament to that. As Kerry flew to Kabul, the U.S. military ceded control of the Parwan detention facility near Bagram, a year after the two sides initially agreed on the transfer. Karzai had demanded control of Parwan as a matter of national sovereignty. The long-running dispute over the center had thrown a pall over ongoing negotiations for a bilateral security agreement to govern the presence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014. An initial agreement to hand over Parwan was signed a year ago, but efforts to follow through on it constantly stumbled over American concerns that the Afghan government would release prisoners that it considered dangerous. An initial deadline for the full handover passed last September; another passed earlier this month. The U.S. concerns are not without foundation. Zakir Qayyum, a former Guantanamo detainee, was released into Afghan custody in 2007. Freed four months later, he rejoined the Taliban and reportedly has risen to become the No. 2 leader in the Taliban. Both Kerry and Karzai lauded the transfer of the facility. Karzai said an Afghan review board would carefully consider any intelligence provided by the U.S. or others about detainees they deem to be too dangerous to free. The pair also called on the Taliban to take advantage of the offer to open a political office in Doha, Qatar, from where they could engage in reconciliation talks with the Afghan Peace Council and potentially negotiate an end to hostilities. Kerry said the Taliban should not ignore the opportunity because the United States is committed to Afghanistan’s security beyond 2014 and will not allow gains made over the past decade to be lost. He noted that Obama has not yet decided how many U.S. troops should stay after next year and that the Taliban should not count on a complete American withdrawal. There are about 100,000 coalition troops in Afghanistan, including about 66,000 from the United States. Although there is no decision on a residual force, U.S. officials have said as many as 12,000 U.S. and coalition forces could remain. Karzai said that peace talks with the Taliban would require the involvement of Pakistan because any Afghan peace process without that country was doomed to failure. Pakistan, particularly its intelligence service, has close ties to members of the Taliban. Kerry, who arrived in Kabul from Amman, Jordan, had hoped to travel to Pakistan on this trip to the region but put it off due to elections there. Instead, he met late Sunday in Amman with Pakistani army chief for Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, U.S. officials said. Kerry and Kayani had a private dinner at the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Jordan as Pakistan continued to seethe in the aftermath of the return of former president Pervez Musharraf, himself a former army chief, from exile. In Kabul, Kerry planned to meet again Tuesday with Karzai.He also had meetings scheduled with civic leaders and others to discuss continued U.S. assistance to the country and how to wean it from such aid as the international military operation winds down. Upcoming national elections also were on his agenda. Kerry praised what he said was Afghanistan’s commitment to “safe, secure” and transparent elections next year that will see a successor to Karzai voted into power.

The Charleston Catholic baseball team defeated host Point Pleasant 19-11 Saturday afternoon, for the Irish’s third consecutive victory. Conner Golden drew a base on balls to begin the game for Charleston Catholic (3-1), and he scored the game’s first run on a Rocco Wilcox one-out double. Just one pitch latter Wilcox crossed the plate for the on the Nelson McKnown double that gave the Irish a 2-0 edge. Point Pleasant (1-3) also got things moving on offense early, as Tylun Campbell came in to score on a two-out single by Evan Potter. Potter came around to score on an error and the score was tied at two after the opening stanza. In the second inning Jack Crockett broke the tie in favor of CCHS, as he scored on an error after reaching on a single. The Big Blacks were set down in order in the bottom of the second and Charleston Catholic added one more run in the top of the third. Campbell, Jacob Gardner and Potter opened the bottom of the third with three consecutive hits, leading to a pair of runs. The Irish answered back with two runs on two hits in the top of the fourth, regaining the lead. A one-out RBI triple by Alex Somerville in the bottom of the fourth drove in Stevie Porter and had the Big Blacks rolling. Potter drove in Somerville, Levi Russell drove in Campbell, while Gage Buskirk drove in Gardner and Potter to give PPHS its first edge of the game. The Irish completed a twoout rally for four runs in the top of the fifth and they were back in control 10-9. Russell singled with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, bringing Campbell and Gardner around to score. Trailing 11-10 Charleston Catholic batted eight in the sixth inning, scoring two, and batted 10 in the seventh, scoring seven, while shutting the Big Blacks out over the final two innings. The Irish claimed the 19-11 victory. Wilcox earned the victory for the Irish after pitching the fifth and sixth innings and giving up two unearned runs on three his and two walks. Andy Hoyer was credited the no decision after throwing the first four frames in which he gave up nine runs, eight earned, on eight hits, four walks and a hit batsman. Golden finished the game for the victors, as he pitched the seventh inning and gave up just one hit. Hoyer struck out three batters, while Wilcox fanned two. Alex Somerville is credited the loss after pitching the fifth and sixth innings, in which he gave up 10 runs, three earned, on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman. Levi Russell earned the no decision after throwing the first four frames in which he gave up six runs, three earned, on six hits and three walks. Caleb Beckner recorded the final three outs for PPHS and he gave up three runs, two earned, on one hit, one walk and one hit batsman. Russell and Somerville each struck out two batters. Wilcox and Nelson McKnown led CCHS with three hits each, while Golden, Kiefer Hovorka, Drew Cable, Hoyer, Crockett, Sam McKnown and Thad Jameson each had one hit. Nelson McKnown and Wilcox also led the team with four runs batted in each, followed by Golden with two. Hovorka and Cable each drove in one run. Golden crossed the plate four times, Wilcox and Sam McKnown scored three times each, while Hovorka, Hoyer and Jameson each scored twice. Crockett, Russell Miller and Patrick O’Leary each scored one run in the game. Golden stole a pair of bases in the triumph, while Wilcox swiped one. The backto-back doubles by Wilcox and Nelson McKnown in the opening inning were the only extra-base hits for the Irish in the game. Potter led the hit parade for the Big Blacks with four, followed by Gardner and Austen Toler with two each. Somerville, Campbell, Russell and Buskirk each finished with one hit. Potter and Russell each drove in a trio of runs, while Buskirk plated two and Somerville drove in one. Campbell crossed the plate four times to lead PPHS, followed by Gardner with three and Potter with two runs scored. Somerville and Porter each scored one run. Campbell swiped a game-high four bases for the Big Blacks, their only four stolen bases. Somerville’s triple and Potter’s double go down as the only two extra-base hits for PPHS. The Irish finished the game with 19 runs, 13 hits and four errors, while Point Pleasant marked 11 runs, 12 hits and 11 errors. Charleston Catholic will look to complete the sweep of Point Pleasant on April 23rd when the Big Blacks travel to the capital city.

UPike coughed up an early lead in the opener before rallying to post a 9-8 win. Rio Grande finished the weekend set with an overall record of 18-14 and a 6-8 mark against conference foes, while the Bears went to 10-14 overall and 4-5 in the MSC. Sophomore Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) and junior Andy Mitroff (Kent, OH) added two hits apiece in the game two victory for the RedStorm, who started and finished strong by scoring five times in the first inning and four times in the seventh. Ford, a freshman from Athens, Ohio, had an RBI single in the five-run first, while freshman Kirk Yates (Chillicothe, OH) and Mitroff also contributed runscoring hits in the frame. Senior Kyle Perez (Casselberry, FL) added a fourth inning sacrifice fly and Spies, a senior from Polk, Ohio, led off the fifth with a long home run to right to make it 7-0. Pikeville scored twice against Rio junior starter Mike Deitsch (Cincinnati, OH) in the home sixth, but the RedStorm tacked on four more runs in the seventh to push the lead to 11-2. Ford had an RBI double in the inning that was followed by a sacrifice fly by senior Vince Perry (Cypress, CA), a run-scoring pinch-hit single by freshman Jonathon Schob (Decatur, OH) and a bases-loaded walk to sophomore Tyler Donaldson (Dayton, OH). The Bears set the final score in the bottom of the seventh by parlaying four hits, a Rio error and a hit batsman into three runs. Deitsch allowed 11 hits and walked two in a route-going performance on the mound, improving to 3-3 for the season. He also struck out four and four of the five runs allowed were earned. Zach Sutherland (2-5) started and took the loss for UPike, allowing nine hits and seven runs over six innings. Erik Manning and Pat O’Brien had three hits each in the loss for the Bears, while Chaz Conteras went 2-for-3. In the opener, Rio Grande erased deficits of 4-0 and 7-5 before the Bears rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to grab the lead for good. After UPike took a 4-0 first inning lead against Rio freshman starter Kyle Miller (Wilmington, OH), the RedStorm scored twice in the second on a wild pitch and a groundout by Perry. The Bears got one of the runs back in the home half of the second, but Rio came all the way back with three runs in the fourth inning to knot the score at 5-5. Sophomore Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) had a run-scoring hit in the rally, while Donaldson and Tamane also had RBI singles. Pikeville regained the lead by scoring twice in the home fourth, but the RedStorm rallied again and tied the score at 7-7 on a two-run double by Findley in the fifth. That’s how things stayed until the Bears’ half of the seventh when RBI singles by Chris Morford and Corey Gilligan off of Rio junior reliever David Steele (Kettering, OH) sent the hosts back in front, 9-7. Rio Grande closed the gap to 9-8 on an RBI single by Tamane in the eighth and threatened in the ninth before the Bears were finally able to secure the victory. The RedStorm got a two-out double by Ford and an infield single by Perry in the ninth, but UPike reliever Mike Rappazzo coaxed Findley into a flyout to center for the game’s final out. Findley finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs to pace Rio, while Dumler went 2-for-4 with three runs scored. Tamane had two hits and two RBIs in the loss, while Ford finished 2-for-4. Steele pitched well, allowing four hits and striking out five over 4-2/3 innings, but suffered his fourth loss in six decisions for the RedStorm. Rappazzo earned his third win in as many decisions for UPike, allowing eight hits and three runs in 5-1/3 innings on the mound. He walked one and did not strike out a batter. O’Brien drove in three runs for the Bears, while Nate Goodwin had two hits and two RBIs. Morford and Bryan Bradley also had two hits each for Pikeville. Weather permitting, Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Tuesday afternoon at Otterbein University.

Hoosiers, Buckeyes reach NCAA Sweet 16 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Khalif Wyatt patted his chest twice, acknowledging that his incredible game wasn’t going to be quite enough. Across the court, the Hoosiers’ heartbeats could finally slow down. No. 1 Indiana had barely escaped the big upset. The Hoosiers finally figured out a way to stop Wyatt — bump him, shadow him, deny him the ball — and used a closing 10-0 run to beat Temple 58-52 on Sunday at the University of Dayton Arena, sending them into the round of 16 for the second year in a row. “That was a relief,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said. Tell Ohio State about it. The second-seeded Buckeyes also advanced with a pulsating finish, beating Iowa State 78-75 on Aaron Craft’s 3-pointer with a half-second left. Ohio State is in the round of 16 for a school-record fourth year in a row, the last high seed remaining in the tournament’s most busted bracket — the Wild West. “The moment is definitely bigger than me,” said Craft, who won it with his only 3-pointer of the game. Now, the two Big Ten heavyweights go their separate ways. Indiana (29-6) heads to the East Regional to play fourth-seeded Syracuse on Thursday in a rematch of the 1987 title game won by the Hoosiers. Ohio State (28-7) goes to Los Angeles to play sixth-seeded Arizona in the West Regional, which is missing four of its top five seeds. Ohio State was the lone one to make it past the opening weekend. “With all that’s gone on in college basketball, anything’s possible,” Craft said. “You can see it with what’s gone on in our bracket right now.” List From Page 6 Washington; Trevor Britton, Parkersburg; Nequan Carrington, Woodrow Wilson; Travis Clower, Hampshire; Trey Dawson, Hurricane; Doug Dennis, Parkersburg South; Curl Dixon, University; Aaron Ferguson, Princeton; Zach Fisher, Winfield; Tyler Groves, Preston; Chase Hancock, Woodrow Wilson; Tommy Hargroves, Musselman; Rasaan Harris, Hurricane; Kade Harrison, Ripley; Eric Johnson, Brooke; Jerome Jones, Washington; Jacob Kilgore, Spring Valley; Mitchell Koch, Preston; Evan Magers, John Marshall; Wade Martin, Point Pleasant; Dean Marshall, Morgantown; Nathan McNeil, St. Albans; Zach Minnick, Logan; Shaquan Miller, Huntington; Hunter Moles, South Charleston; Cody Monroe, Parkersburg South; Logan Phillips, Elkins; Joey Re, Oak Hill; Marcus Reed, Riverside; Ryan Reinbeau, Wheeling Park; A.J.

At times, you might question your boundaries, as well as those of the other parties involved. Know that everyone is different. You might wonder which approach would be best to take — to do what you feel or do what you think. Experiment, and see the results of each. If you are single, you could have difficulty deciding whom to date. If you are attached, the two of you have a hard time juggling your different needs. Kissing and making up will be a frequent habit. LIBRA can be challenging. 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 Your drive helps you stay charged throughout the day. Nevertheless, you could be overwhelmed by all the inquiries you encounter. By late afternoon, you’ll be looking for ways out of conversations and situations. Trust your imagination. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Carry a notebook with you in order to jot down your many ideas. You’ll want to test them out on others before deciding which one works best for you. You could be looking at different options to make more money, or perhaps you just want to travel. Tonight: Play it low-key. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel unusually knowledgeable, which could cause you to question the reasons for doing things in a certain way. Your creativity emerges, and you’ll find the right path. Success greets you. A friend also could have some feedback for you. Tonight: Let the good times roll. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH Give a presentation in the morning, and speak your mind. You will see a situation in a different light because you’re able to make a change that you have desired for a while. Follow your instincts. A partner can be testy, so give this person some space. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Take care of your business and financial concerns. News coming from a distance proves to be quite distracting. You have reason to smile, but you might doubt yourself or what you are hearing. Know that there are some details being left out. Tonight: Catch up with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others note your self-confidence. Whatever you decide to put on your plate tends to work because of your upbeat attitude. Open up to a possibility of travel or consider taking on more responsibilities. A new friend expresses the intensity of his or her feelings. Tonight: Run errands. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Though you feel be out of sync in the morning, you’ll feel far more together come dinnertime. You can see the difference in your energy through others’ reactions. You might be taken aback by someone’s behavior. Say little, and watch what happens. Tonight: Do your thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your ability to read between the lines will come through for you. Others might not totally understand where they are heading in a key matter, but your insightful nature lets you know. Step back, and watch how the situation develops. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You know what to do, and you’ll do it. Understand that you might need to have a difficult discussion with a loved one. You have gone long enough without saying anything, but know your limits. A meeting points to a fun adventure. Tonight: Whatever sets your imagination afire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH News from a distance could evoke a discussion. The topic involves real estate and your domestic life. Know that someone is passionate about his or her perception, but this could change. You will be centered and direct in your dealings. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner has a lot to say, and he or she will say it. You can’t escape this inevitable discussion, so step up to the plate and have it. Reach out to someone at a distance who cares about you; the discussion could be quite animated. Tonight: Learn a new hobby. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others seek you out, and you will be forced to juggle many different concerns. Do be aware of the cost of pursuing several situations at once, as you could become distracted. A partner wants to talk money. Be available for this conversation. Tonight: Chat over dinner.
