Final class graduates in the Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS — “Remember to never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something; always challenge yourself; be kind to people; and most importantly have faith.” Those were just a few words of advice given by Eastern High School Class of 2013 Valedictorian Victoria Lynn Goble during Sunday’s commencement. Goble likened her classmates to family, referring to them as brothers and sisters. “Over time this building has become a second home to us and after what seemed like a long 13 years, we are finally up here sitting with mixed emotions.

According to Southern High School Class of 2013 Valedictorian Kody Dean Wolfe, that is how many hours members of the graduating class have spent in high school classes over the last four years. Wolfe, turning the podium to speak directly to his classmates, said, “each of us has spent about seven hundred and thirty days in high school. Going eight hours each day, that makes 5,840 hours or 350,400 minutes. All that time, just to graduate today.” “To take that one step further, there are 39 of us standing up here, yes that’s a tiny class, but with 39 we total 13,665,600 minutes of high school.” Wolfe asked his classmates to pause for a minute and think about high school. “The sad part is that odds are we’ve thought more about the bad parts Southern valedictorian Kody Wolfe (left) and salutatorian John- ny VanCooney are the final seniors to enter Charles W.

Officers on scene of standoff near Chester Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com CHESTER — Officers from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Department responded to a dispute call just after noon on Monday, with the situation escalating to a standoff situation. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood stated that Deputies Adam Smith and Joe Barnhart responded to the call of a dispute between Jack Ritchie and his copartner in a vehicle business. According to Wood, the dispute escalated with Ritchie threatening his copartner with a gun and then threatening Deputy Smith. As of press time Wood, along with Ritchie’s son who arrived at the scene from out of town, and officers from several departments are working to talk Ritchie out of the residence. Wood stated he is certain that there is no one else in the residence. A statement on the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page Monday afternoon read in part, The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office is currently on the scene of an active standoff situation on [Ohio] 248.

Officers with the Athens and Washington County Emergency Response Units, the Washington County Sheriff and Ohio State Highway Patrol have been on scene throughout the situation to assist local officers. In addition, Sheriff Wood noted that Doug Lavender and Bob Byer from Meigs EMS, the Chester and Bashan Volunteer Fire Departments and the Ohio Department of Transportation have assisted his office throughout the day.

(AP) — A monstrous tornado as much as a mile wide with winds up to 200 mph roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs Monday, flattening entire neighborhoods, setting buildings on fire and landing a direct blow on an elementary school. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths, but the storm laid waste to scores of buildings in Moore, south of the city. Block after block of the community lay in ruins, with heaps of debris piled up where homes used to be. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside. The National Weather Service issued an initial finding that the tornado was an EF-4 on the enhanced Fujita scale, the second most-powerful type of twister. Volunteers and first responders were searching through debris looking for survivors. Television footage showed first-responders picking through rubble and twisted metal.

Zach Dunham with Alfac spoke with the members of council with regard to voluntary insurance policies. Would need three people to sign up to receive the group rate. According to discussion, employees did have similar coverage through Allstate in the past and dropped it. Council adjourned into executive session to discuss continuing litigation with Solicitor Mick Barr with regard to the sale of the Pomeroy Village Hall property. No action was taken with regard to the matter discussed in executive session. Mitch Altier from ME Companies presented council with a recommendation letter for the FEMA telemetry project. Two bids were received. Micro Com was the low bid at $78,000. Altier recommended that the project be awarded to Micro Com. The village share of the project is 12.5 percent. The bid was approved. A payment application from Fields Excavating was approved for the third phase of the CSO project. A change order from Dahl Layman was approved for upgrade of the UV disinfectant at the sewer treatment plant in the amount of $73,173.

Council approved all three changes as presented by Altier. Two grant applications were recently submitted, Nature Works for the stake park and CDBG for upgrade of Lincoln Hill and Lincoln Heights booster stations.

The trial is scheduled to continue Tuesday with Arias speaking to the jury. The judge denied the defense’s request for a mistrial based on a key witness receiving death threats. In protest of the judge’s decision, defense lawyers Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott asked to withdraw. The judge promptly denied that request, too. The defense then said they have no plans to call any witnesses, sending the court into recess as lawyers worked to resolve the next step. They later decided Arias would speak to the jury Tuesday. Arias and an ex-boyfriend had been expected to speak to jurors before the panel begins deliberating whether to sentence the 32-year-old Arias to life in prison or execution for murdering her lover in 2008. Arias was convicted of first-degree murder earlier this month in the death of Travis Alexander. Last week, jurors heard tearful comments from Alexander’s brother and sister as they described how his killing has torn their lives apart. Judge Sherry Stephens instructed jurors they could consider a handful of factors when deciding what sentence to impose, including Arias’ lack of a prior criminal record and assertions that she was a good friend, had an abusive childhood and is a talented artist. In opening statements, prosecu- tor Juan Martinez told the panel none of those factors should cause the jury to even consider a sentence other than death, given the brutal nature of the killing. Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi explained to jurors that Arias herself would testify this week. “When you understand who Ms. Arias is, you will understand that life is the appropriate sentence,” Nurmi said. Arias, 32, acknowledged killing Alexander at his suburban Phoenix home on June 4, 2008. She initially denied any involvement and later blamed the attack on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, Arias said she killed Alexander in self-defense. The victim suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, had his throat slit from ear to ear and was shot in the forehead. Prosecutors say the attack was fueled by jealous rage after Alexander wanted to end his affair with Arias and prepared to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Jurors convicted Arias on May 8 of first-degree murder, with all 12 unanimously agreeing it was premeditated, after about 15 hours of deliberations over four days. The panel later took less than three hours to determine the killing was especially cruel, meaning the death penalty would be a consideration for sentencing. The ongoing penalty proceedings will be the final phase of the trial. Jurors are expected to begin deliberating Arias’ ultimate fate this week. The proceedings will play out like a mini-trial as the prosecutor will be allowed to cross-examine each witness, and both sides will offer clos- ing arguments before the jury begins deliberations. Under Arizona law, if the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision on sentencing, the panel will be dismissed and jury selection will begin anew. Another panel would then be seated to hear arguments in only the penalty phase to determine a sentence. If the second panel cannot reach a unanimous agreement, the judge will then sentence Arias to either her entire life in prison or life in prison with the possibility of release after 25 years. The most anticipated part of the penalty phase will be when Arias takes the witness stand, though exactly what she will say remains a mystery. Within minutes of her murder conviction, Arias complicated efforts for her defense when she gave an interview to Fox affiliate KSAZ, saying she preferred death over life in prison. It wasn’t clear whether the prosecutor would use those words against her in court, given some experts say it might not work in his favor aimed at securing a death sentence. “Jodi Arias has proven herself to be a conniving manipulator so she may be saying something like this to get a reaction from the jury,” said San Francisco criminal defense lawyer Michael Cardoza. “She may be hoping the jury says, ‘We won’t give her what she wants, and if she wants death, we’re giving her life.’” Cardoza noted that in Arias’ case, with so much evidence against her, the defense can still claim some level of satisfaction is they can just keep her off death row. Senators require fingerprinting at 30 airports WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate supporters of far-reaching immigration legislation accepted minor changes in public while negotiating over more sweeping alterations in private Monday as they drove toward expected Judiciary Committee approval by mid-week. The legislation would provide an opportunity of U.S. citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, create a new visa program for low-skilled workers and permit a sizeable increase in the number of high-tech visas, at the same time it mandates new measures to crack down on future unlawful immigration. In two previous weeks of deliberations, sup- porters of the legislation have demonstrated their command over the committee’s proceedings, alternately accepting some proposals advanced by the bills critics and rejecting others — all without losing a single showdown. The same pattern held true as the committee embarked on its third and final week of drafting. On a vote of 13-5, the legislation’s supporters agreed to require foreigners leaving the country through any of the nation’s 30 busiest airports to submit to fingerprinting, part of an attempt to strengthen security. The proposal was drafted by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who has yet to announce whether he will support the bill. �Tuesday, May 21, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Local Briefs Cleanup Day POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Cleanup Day will be held on Wednesday, May 22 within the village.

Eastern From Page 1 goodbye to those that we now consider to be our family, but also filled with the excitement of knowing that after we walk off this stage today, we are finally moving on in life to pursue whatever it is we think we want to become.” “Have faith in what you can do, and don’t doubt yourself if you don’t get something the first time,” said Goble. “Be proud of who you are, who you are becoming, and never forget where you came from — it’s made you who you are today.” “Lastly, always remember everyone has different strengths, so never doubt your own. When you walk out these doors and begin the rest of your life I want you to remember this quote by Christopher Morley, ‘There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way.’” Goble concluded by telling her “family” to “go out into this world and spend every moment doing what makes you happy, take risks, and take the time to thank those who have shaped you into the person you are. For without them we would have never gotten to this point in our lives.” Eastern Class of 2013 Salutatorian Larissa Lynn Riddle quoted Class of 2012 Valedictorian Janae Boyles as she began her speech, stating, “I stand in front of you today with my legs shaking, palms sweating and voice trembling.” “I had no idea that a year later, I would now be standing before you with the exact same feelings running through me,” said Riddle. “It’s partially because I am speaking in front of a gym full of people that are all focused on me but it’s mostly because along with most of my classmates, I am finally realizing we are no longer students at Eastern High School. Everything is about to change. As we walk out of the gym today and leave our days here at Eastern behind us, we will be forced to leave our comfort zone and try new things.” Riddle also talked about three ideas which are most important to enjoying life. Those three things are, to be an individual, second is about friendship, and third is never limit your self. “You can only be as happy as you allow yourself to become, so keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to try something new,” said Riddle. “This is the last time the class of 2013 will ever be all together in this school. Now, the 55 of us will go our separate ways after being together nearly all of our lives. Some will stay nearby and start a career or go to a local college. Some brave classmates will go wherever the military takes them. Some will go to colleges as far away as Idaho or Utah and others will travel to different countries like Haiti.” Riddle closed with a quote, “happiness is not the destination; it’s the enjoyment you will find along the way.” The Eastern High School Concert Band played Pomp and Circumstance as the graduates entered the gymnasium, and later played Captain America March by Alan Silvestri. Class of 2013 Vice President Gabrielle Thomas Hendrix lead the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the invocation by Timothy James Minear.

Not available in all states �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Tuesday, May 21, 2013 High crop prices entice GOP hopes to capitalize on Presidential woes farms to expand planting Charles Babington The Associated Press David Pitt The Associated Press BIGGSVILLE, Ill. — Clark Kelly plans to spend a lot of time on the links this spring. The Illinois farmer is plowing the Hend-Co-Hills Golf Course near tiny Biggsville into a cornfield. He’s not the only one turning over soil in unlikely places. Across the Midwest, farmers are planting crops on almost any scrap of available land to take advantage of consistently high corn and soybean prices. Growers are knocking down old barns, tearing out fencerows and digging up land that had once been preserved for wildlife. Some are even suspected of tearing into pioneer cemeteries. Kelly moved quickly when he heard the golf course was for sale near the Mississippi River, about 80 miles west of Peoria. With nearby land selling for $15,000 an acre, the 133-acre course with a clubhouse and campground was quite a find for $775,000. “That’s why I wanted to get my paws on it so bad,” said Kelly, who estimates he can plant at least 80 acres on the property. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects farmers to plant 174.4 million acres of corn and soybeans this year, a record high. More than 97 million acres will be devoted to corn — the most since 1936 — as demand keeps prices high. Prices soared above $8 a bushel last summer and have hovered around $7 recently. For farmers with production costs around $5 a bushel, there’s still room for a good profit. The growing world population, widespread use of corn for ethanol and other factors have produced significantly higher demand for the crop in the U.S. and elsewhere, said Dan Steinkruger, executive director of Nebraska’s Farm Service Agency. Gordon Wassenaar, who grows corn and soybeans near Prairie City, Iowa, east of Des Moines, said he’s removed fences and trees to squeeze in more crops. “In all honesty, it’s easier to get rid of the buildings and crop farm as it is to take care of the buildings and mow and do a lot of that stuff,” Wassenaar said. It’s a similar situation for Bill Bayliss, who raises cattle and sheep and grows corn, soybeans and wheat on about 2,000 acres near West Mansfield, Ohio. “We tore out fencerows and tore down one old barn, and we farm right over it,” he said. In Minnesota, state archaeologist Scott Anfinson is investigating whether farmers plowed up pioneer cemeteries. He will soon inspect an area of Grant County in west-central Minnesota, where a farmer hired an excavator to bulldoze trees and headstones near a pioneer cemetery dating to the late 1800s. Headstones were knocked down, and Anfinson will determine whether human remains or coffin parts have been turned up by a plow. The farmer, who is in his 90s and farms with his son, could be charged with a felony if graves were disturbed. He will probably be required to replant trees and reset the headstones. Anfinson said the family whose ancestors are buried in the plots is appalled. “Families don’t forget about these things,” he said. He’s investigating three other cases in which Minnesota farmers are suspected of “nibbling” at the edges of pioneer cemeteries. Many farmers have pulled land out of the federal government’s Conservation Reserve Program, which pays farmers not to plant land that could easily erode or is ideal The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It’s become increasingly lucrative to farm or rent such land to another farmer rather than collect the government payments. In Iowa, the average cash rent for corn or soybean fields is about $270 per acre, said Chad Hart, an Iowa State University agriculture economist. The average conservation payment in Iowa is $141 an acre. Nationally, the number of acres enrolled in the program has slipped to about 27 million acres from a high of more than 36 million acres in 2007. Losing that land worries conservationists, who see dwindling habitat as a threat to the already falling numbers of pheasants and other wildlife. It also raises environmental concerns about soil erosion and water quality, said Tom Fuller, Iowa coordinator for Pheasants Forever, a nonprofit organization focusing on wildlife conservation. Back in Biggsville, corn is returning to land that for 48 years was devoted to golfing. Kelly said his father farmed the land before selling it as a golf course. Although popular for decades, the course ran into trouble during the recession, and flooding by the Mississippi a few years ago hurt attendance. “It was a well-run fun place for the community since 1970, and everybody was sad to see it close, including me,” Kelly said. Tractors have replaced golfers at the former Whittemore Golf Club near Algona, in north-central Iowa. It closed in 2011 after more than 40 years and was planted over by a farmer. The same thing happened near Wayland, Mich., where the Hidden Valley Golf Course closed in November and was sold to a farmer. WASHINGTON — The scandals dogging President Barack Obama are a political gift to Republicans, who could use some good luck after recent election losses. It’s not clear, however, how Republicans can best capitalize on Democrats’ woes, legislatively or politically. Last November’s election dynamics complicate the picture on both fronts. Republican leaders are urging a bit of restraint in exploiting the White House’s new weaknesses. Legislatively one of Obama’s biggest second-term goals is to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, including a new pathway to citizenship for millions of people living here illegally. Many Republicans would like to deny him such a legacy-enhancing prize. But GOP strategists say their party may need “immigration reform” more than Democrats do. Hispanic voters overwhelmingly backed Obama in both his elections. The troubling trend for Republicans might worsen if they don’t show greater interest in Latinos’ concerns. For many, that includes major changes to immigration laws. “There’s a political concern that we need to heal our rift with the Hispanic community,” said Kirby Wilbur, the Republican Party chairman in Washington state. He said, however, he’s not sure it’s necessary to offer citizenship for people who came here illegally. That’s precisely the kind of view that makes immigration difficult for Republicans. On other political fronts, the White House’s scandal problems offer a fat, easy target. Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday ripped into the ousted head of the Internal Revenue Service. He apologized for the agency’s heightened scrutiny of tea party affiliates and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Republicans have been equally indignant in ongoing inquiries into the administration’s role in last September’s terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four U.S. officials. The third controversy now dogging the White House — the Justice Department’s secret seizure of Associated Press phone records in a security leak investigation — has thus far stirred less emotion and partisanship on Capitol Hill. Taken together, Republicans say, these three controversies portray a rapaciously political and inept administration. That could be a powerful message in next year’s congressional and gubernatorial elections, and perhaps in the 2016 presidential race. “I think people are beginning to think, ‘Is anybody running the government up there?’” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a close ally of House Speaker John Boehner. 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 First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. “Incompetence, detachment, lack of oversight. I think the damage is going to be real and lasting for the president.” Cole, however, said Boehner and other party leaders are keenly aware that Republicans can overdo their attacks, and even build sympathy for Obama, if their criticisms appear nakedly political or not supported by facts. “We’ve actually had a lot of discussions about that,” Cole said. Republican leaders wince when their more zealous colleagues talk of impeaching Obama. Cole said the House committee inquiries are being led by level-headed, fact-seeking Republican chairmen. “You’re not going to find ham-handed stunts, politics and shout-outs” from them, he said. Tea party groups — whose influence in 2012 waned compared to their muscular role in 2010 — are finding new political fuel, especially in the IRS scandal that largely centers on such conservative groups. They’re flooding electronic and postal mail boxes with fiery fundraising letters and renewed calls to arms. Democrats hope these grassroots groups overplay their hands. Even if tea party activists boost GOP turnout in next year’s nonpresidential elections, they could complicate the Republican Party’s need to woo a wider audience to win presidential elections in 2016 and beyond. Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. A Quinnipiac University poll this spring found that 24 percent of Americans view the tea party movement favorably, and 43 percent view it unfavorably. Democrats love to remind Republicans of their partisan excess in 1998, when the House’s impeachment of President Bill Clinton struck millions of Americans as political overkill. Republicans lost House seats that year, costing Speaker Newt Gingrich his leadership post. The Senate acquitted the president. “GOP Overreach: 2014 could look a lot like 1998,” said a statement Friday from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Republicans, it claimed, “are foaming at the mouth over Benghazi, AP and the IRS.” Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said he hopes the scandals will increase public attention on Congress, enabling Republicans to highlight an agenda he thinks voters will embrace. “The scandals, they’re not your ticket to the dance,” said Kingston, who is running for the Senate in a crowded GOP field. “They are a reason to have people look at your party. And then, if you have good private-sector job ideas, and balancing the budget, then I think people will vote for you.” The scandals, titillating as they are inside Washington, may have surprisingly little impact on Congress’ actual achievements. Boehner, asked Thursday how the GOP’s apparent momentum might influence legislation, said: “I don’t expect that it will.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

Education Department gives three more states waivers WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced on Monday that three more states would join the ranks of those given permission to ignore parts of the federal No Child Left Behind law in favor of their own school improvement plans. The addition of Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia brings to 37 the number of states operating outside the Bush-era law, along with the District of Columbia. Eight additional states, the Bureau of Indian Education, Puerto Rico and a coalition of California districts are waiting to hear about their requests, which would further dismantle the federal education overhaul from coast to coast. “Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia can’t wait any longer for education reform,” Duncan said in a statement. No Child Left Behind, also known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, came up for renewal in 2007 and its requirements were not updated. Duncan has pushed lawmakers to revisit the law and make changes to accommodate challenges officials did not anticipate when they first passed the measure on a bipartisan basis in 2001. “A strong, bipartisan reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act remains the best path forward in education reform, but as these states have demonstrated, our kids can’t wait any longer for Congress to act,” Duncan said. In exchange for the waivers, states have had to show the Education Department they had their own plans to prepare students and improve teaching. States have sought the additional flexibility to implement their own efforts instead of following the sometimes rigid requirements included in No Child Left Behind. The waivers also allow states to come up short on requirements that all students perform at grade level in math and reading by 2014. If Congress were to update No Child Left Behind, the states would be forced to shift to the new national standards — potentially a headache for states that already have set forth on their own individualized plans. Since President Barack Obama announced his administration would consider waivers from the law in September 2011, 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Bureau of Indian Education have sought permission to implement their own reform plan. Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming are still waiting to hear about their applications. Additionally, a coalition of California districts has requested a waiver from the Education Department. The coalition of 10 school districts, known as California Office to Reform Education, or CORE, includes Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento districts and represents 1.2 million of the state’s 6 million students. Final than the good. This may be because bad things just seem to stick out; they’re like giant flashing lights, irritating us all day long. Then they get engraved in our minds. Try making a list of memories, good vs. bad; I would be willing to bet the bad side is longer. This is just how we work. It’s in our heads,” said Wolfe. “So, why don’t we just think about good things more often” “That is what I ask of you all,” said Wolfe. “It’s a personal goal of mine as well. I want us to recognize and remember these little insignificant joys. They will add up just like our minutes. We will still have bad days or bad thoughts, maybe even ride the struggle bus a couple of blocks. But, try to think about the little things when you need them. Fill up those wasted minutes with good productive ideas. After all, thinking can change everything.” Wolfe concluded, “now, we only have few minutes of high school left, remember them, they’ll be some of the best. Take these memories with you wherever you go, remember old Southern High School, you may miss it someday, and even if you don’t, it’s part of you. You’ve spent all those minutes here, and they have made you who you are now. We’ve made it, and we’re ready. I think I can speak for us all when I say, ‘It’s time, let’s graduate.’” Salutatorian Johnny Ray Lewis VanCooney spoke about his time at Southern High School after enrolling as a freshman. “When I came to Southern freshman year, I was kind of confused and did not know anyone in the school,” said VanCooney. “I remember on my first day Mr. Otto asked me if I was a trouble maker, I replied ‘no’. I’m sure then he had no idea I was going to work as hard as I did in school to become salutatorian.” VanCooney noted that classmate Brandon Marcinko showed him around the school and he along with J.J. Gray took VanCooney under their wings. “I remember later that night he (J.J.) told me, ‘You’re really cool man. You’ll have a lot of friends at our school.’ “Now I realize he was right, I did make a lot of friends throughout the years. I just want to thank all of my friends for all they have done. They have made me who I am today. I sincerely appreciate it.” He went on to thank all the teachers “for listening to me and all of us when we needed your help.” “I also want to thank my mom and dad. They are my main inspiration,” said VanCooney. “My dad always told me school is everything it decides the outcome of your life. He always gave me lectures about why and how I should do well in school. My mom was always there to support me and calm me down when I was worried about something with school.” “Although many kids out there don’t like to go to school when they are younger, because it’s hard to wake up so early, or sitting in classrooms all day is boring, and lectures are terrible. School is very important. Some people don’t realize that until it’s too late,” said VanCooney. “I remember in kindergarten I told my teacher school was a waste of my time. My mom still asks me all the time if I remember saying that. But when I got to high school, I realized I want to be somebody. I figured that I have to be there anyway so I might as well make the best of it. Now, I see it really paid off just to try my best and never give up.” Following both the valedictorian and salutatorian addresses, Southern Principal Daniel Otto presented an honorary diploma to John Jacob “J.J” Gray. Accepting on behalf of Gray were his parents Vincent and Brenda Gray. J.J. was a member of the graduating class who was killed in a car accident in August 2011. Otto also recognized the parents and grandparents of the Class of 2013, staff and faculty of Southern Local, and the board members. Otto recognized the Top 10/Honorarians, National Honor Society members, those receiving honors diplomas and those receiv- ing the award of merit. The Top 10 students in the class were (in no particular order) Tara Marie Eakins, Jennifer Anne McCoy, Jaclyn Marie Mees, Olivia Faith Poling, Stefanie Morgan Pyles, Joseph Lee Smith, Kyrie Jordanne Swann, Johnny Ray Lewis VanCooney, Paige Nicole Wehrung, and Kody Dean Wolfe. Class President Johnny VanCooney welcomed those in attendance to start the evening’s ceremony, with vice president Jennifer McCoy giving the invocation. Student Council President Kody Wolfe led the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the Southern band playing Kong. Following the changing of the tassels, the Class of 2013 lead all those in attendance in the Alma Mater. Christa Renae Berryman then had the benediction, followed by the recessional played by the Southern band.

Danny Ramthun struck out two batters and improves his pitching record to 3-0 at the district level. Pape started the game for the Tornadoes and three seven innings in which he allowed two unearned runs on three hits, two walks and a hit batter. Pape fanned four Lions and went four frames before allowing a hit. The Fairfield pitching staff gave up six runs on nine hits and six walks, while striking out eight Tornadoes. Pape led the victors with a twof singles and a double, while Deem had a triple and a single. Moodispaugh and Danny Ramthun each marked two singles in the victory.

Lady Marauders fall at Wheelersburg, 9-1 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com WHEELERSBURG, Ohio — The Meigs softball team had its 2013 postseason come to an end Saturday afternoon following a 9-1 setback to host Wheelersburg in a Division III sectional final in Scioto County. The visiting Lady Marauders (148) had a four-game winning streak snapped while also suffering their second consecutive sectional final loss to the second-seeded Lady Pirates — who defeated MHS by an 8-2 count last year at home in this same matchup. Meigs — a seven seed — never led in the contest and was outhit 10-7 overall in the setback, as WHS stormed out to leads of 1-0 after one inning of play and 2-0 through four complete. MHS also committed four of the five errors in the game. The Lady Marauders, however, managed their only score in the top half of the fifth to close to within 2-1. Brooke Andrus reached on a one-out fielder’s choice and later score on an RBI single by Tess Phelps. Wheelersburg countered with its big charge in the bottom of the fifth, as the hosts managed four runs on three hits and three Meigs errors — giving the Lady Pirates a 6-1 cushion after five full frames. WHS tacked on three insurance runs in the sixth to wrap up the eight-run decision. Haley English was the losing pitcher of record after allowing nine runs (five earned), 10 hits and two walks over six innings while striking out one. Phelps and Lindsey Patterson both led MHS with two hits each, followed by Liddy Fish, Harley Fox and Destinee Blackwell with one safety apiece. Phelps had the team’s lone RBI and Andrus scored the lone run in the setback. Reyes led Wheelersburg with four hits and three runs scored, followed by Dempsey and Sparks with two safeties apiece. Cunningham and Blair also had a hit each for the victors. Cunningham drove in a team-high three RBIs, followed by Dempsey and Blair with two RBIs apiece. Dempsey also scored twice for the hosts. Meigs still has a TVC Ohio contest to makeup at Nelsonville-York before completing its regular season. �Tuesday, May 21, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, May 21, 2013 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 21, 2013: This year you often surprise others in special ways. You could throw a surprise birthday party, show up randomly at a family member’s door or just do the unexpected. No matter what you decide to do, you are being true to yourself. If you are single, a friend could be instrumental in forming a relationship this year. If you are attached, maintain your friendship as well as your romantic relationship. You will be a lot more forgiving and understanding as a result. LIBRA always keeps it light and conversational. 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 Continue to evaluate the areas of your life where you think a change is imperative. You might want to take action sooner rather than later. You will see a situation in a new light after having a discussion with someone in the know. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH If you are to accomplish what you desire, it will be because of your commitment and concentration. Don’t allow a personal issue to flood through your mental gates. You’ll need to filter calls and minimize distractions in order to complete a key task. Tonight: Easy works. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You easily could be baffled by everything that comes in. You have a lot to share, but you might not feel as if you are being heard. Surprising others with a presentation could attract their attention. Realize how much you need a friendship. Tonight: Share some munchies. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to someone who understands you. A surprise could head your way. Take a walk, and think through everything that you’ve heard. Honor your needs first, and then figure out the rest. You often give too much, which later causes you a problem. Tonight: Happy to be home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll be wondering what to do with some expected news. First, verify all of the facts. There easily could be a detail or two that might have been left out. By keeping your cool while still showing interest, you will help others, too. Tonight: Get together with your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH You might want to investigate the ramifications of a recent purchase or financial request. Some of the responses might be nothing less than shocking. How you handle news and what you do with it could point to a change in the near future. Tonight: Go over your budget. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH While you might be empowered by a situation, others likely will respond much differently, which could shock you. Choose to listen rather than react. Don’t forget to touch base with a loved one! This person might have a lot to share with you. Tonight: Live it up. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You are on top of your game. Don’t wonder what you can do to change direction — trust that it will happen naturally. You might need to adjust to some radical news. Your ability to go with the flow will be tested. Know that others are watching. Tonight: The less said the better. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could shake up your immediate circle with a surprising idea or suggestion. Trust that it will work, and be willing to go through the details carefully. Allow others to play devil’s advocate. Take a time-out for a child or loved one during the day. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to play out a situation differently from others. Prepare to go your own way. Someone’s response could surprise you, and you know that trying to persuade this person to follow you could be close to impossible. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might be jolted by some new information or gossip that heads your way. Realize that you’ll need to detach in order to see the big picture. Though somebody would prefer to have you feel frazzled, you will maintain self-control. Tonight: Listen to a favorite piece of music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to have a long-overdue conversation, and you’ll be considering how to initiate it. Later in the day, the opportunity will appear. You see life very differently from the other party. Each of you needs to accept the other’s viewpoint. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Marauders blast Wellston for sectional title Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — They say good things come in threes. The Marauders are about to find out. The Meigs baseball team captured its third straight district berth Saturday afternoon after posting a 14-2 five-inning victory over visiting Wellston in a Division III sectional final in Meigs County. The second-seeded Marauders (15-11) picked up their third consecutive sectional crown by defeating the 10th-seeded Golden Rockets (4-21) for the third time this spring, as the hosts earned decisions of 11-2 and 10-0 in their previous two matchups in TriValley Conference Ohio Division play. Meigs trailed 2-0 after a half-inning of play, but followed by sending 15 batters to the plate in its half of the first — which resulted in 11 runs on seven hits, three walks and two WHS errors. The Marauders went on to added two runs in the third and another score in the fourth to secure their 12-run triumph. MHS — which is 0-2 in district play over the last two seasons — will face third-seeded Rock Hill in a D-3 district semifinal at 7 p.m. Thursday at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. The Redmen defeated Portsmouth by a 2-1 count in their sectional final contest. Taylor Rowe was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs, seven hits and one walk over five innings of work while striking out four. Mullens suffered the setback for Wellston. Rowe led the Marauders with four hits and four runs scored, followed by Treay McKinney and Ty Phelps with three safeties apiece. Matt Casci and Christian Romine also had a hit apiece for the victors. McKinney, Rowe and Phelps each drove in three RBIs, while Romine and Michael Davis also drove in a run apiece. McKinney scored three times for Meigs, while Davis added two scores. Phelps, Casci, Romine, Ray Johnson and Bradley Helton also scored once each in the triumph. Rafferty paced the Rockets with two hits, followed by Waldron, Downard, Arthur, Faught and Wallace with one safety apiece. Arthur and Faught each drove in a run, while Waldron and Downard each crossed home plate once. Miscellaneous Want To Buy DISH NETWORK.

AT RIGHT, Point Pleasant senior Andrea Porter (453) sprints toward the finish line in the Class AAA 800m final held Saturday during the 2013 WVSSAC Track and Field Championships. Riffle wins 800, Point boys finish tied for 7th Porter scores 1 point for Lady Knights at AAA final CHARLESTON, W.Va. — It was a memorable weekend for the Point Pleasant track and field programs, as both the Big Blacks and Lady Knights scored at least one point in the Class AAA team standings following the conclusion of the 2013 WVSSAC Championships Saturday at Laidley Field on the campus of the University of Charleston. Point Pleasant collectively finished the twoday competition with seven top-six finishes, six of which came on behalf of the Big Blacks’ efforts. The Point boys also came away with Mason County’s lone state champion this spring in senior Caleb Riffle, who shocked most of the running world with his thrilling triumph in the 800m run. Riffle — who has signed to run track and cross country at West Virginia Wesleyan — practically pulled off the impossible by knocking off Jacob Burcham in his Cabell Midland finale. Burcham won both the 1600m and 3200m titles this weekend and the Oklahoma-bound distance runner currently owns the AAA records in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m events. Riffle trailed only Burcham and Brian Lawhon (CMHS) after the first lap, then the trio ended up sideby-side headed into the home stretch — where they remained close headed into the final 10 meters. Riffle, on the outside, claimed a slight edge and lunged forward ahead of his two Cabell Midland competitiors before all three fell across the finish line. As Riffle was getting up, it took a few seconds to register that he had just won a state title. And if had any doubts, apir of higs from teammates Marquez Griffin and Zach Canterbury all but confirmed what he thought had just happened. Riffle — who finished third in the AA 800m final (2:03.71) last year — posted a winning time of 1:54.98, less than onehalf second ahead of the third-place Burcham. Riffle’s mark was almost four seconds faster than his fourth-place regional qualifying time of 1:58.91, which earned an at-large bid into this finale. Riffle spoke about his incredible accomplishment afterwards, noting that he couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish up as a Point Pleasant athlete. Riffle championship time was also a new personal record. “This is an amazing feeling, and it feels good doing this for Point Pleasant. My family has grown up here over the years, so it just means a lot to me from that aspect,” Riffle said. “I knew coming in that if I could keep up with Burcham over the final 200 meters, I could outkick him — and I executed perfectly. I had never beaten him in any race before now.” Riffle also joined Griffin, Canterbury and Ryan Bonecutter in the 4x400m relay, where the quartet finished fifth with a time of 3:28.03. Canterbury was fifth in the 400m dash with a mark of 50.24 seconds, while Griffin was disqualified in the 100m final for a false start. The 4x200m quartet of Griffin, Canterbury, Chase Walton and Andrew Williamson also claimed sixth place with a time of 1:31.97. Cody Mitchell and Tannor Hill respectively placed fourth and fifth Friday in the discus final. The Big Blacks posted a collective score of 21 points and finished in a tie with Musselman for seventh place out of 27 scoring teams. Jefferson won the AAA boys title with 121 points after finishing 43 points ahead of runnerup Cabell Midland (78). The Lady Knights were one of 23 teams to score in the Class AAA tournament, as PPHS tied George Washington for 22nd place with one point each. Buckhannon-Upshur won the AAA girls title with 102 points, finishing 18 points ahead of runnerup Morgantown (84). Senior Andrea Porter — a Marshall University signee — scored the Lady Knights’ lone point by fin- ishing sixth in the 800m run with a mark of 2:22.82. Porter — who finished second last year in the Class AA 800m final with a time of 2:25.58 — was also 12th in the 1600m run with a mark of 5:29.96. The quartet of Cassie Jordan, Carlee Dabney, Brooke Grimm and Allison Smith earned a pair of 11th-place finishes in the 4x100m (51.96) and 4x200m (1:51.96) relays, while Whitney Layton was 1-of-8 competitors that failed to clear the starting height of 8 feet, 6 inches in the pole vault. The 4x400m squad of Smith, Jordan , Grimm and Porter also finished 15th overall with a time of 4:35.84.
