The handwritten minutes of the organizational meeting of a group of men and women who saw a need for services to Meigs County’s elderly was read by Beth Shaver, executive director. The meeting took place on May 2, 1972, and Clarence Struble was elected president. Shaver gave a brief history of the Council on Aging over the past 40 years and called the organizers “pioneers in the field of aging.” She introduced the first director, Eleanor Thomas, who was hired as director when the Council on Aging the following year was ready to open the first Senior Center in two rooms on the first floor of the old Pomeroy Junior High School building. In her remarks, Thomas reminisced about opening day at the Center, noting that 10 seniors came. She talked about her supportive staff all through the years as programming was developed and special services to seniors were explored. Thomas served as Charlene Hoeflich/photos Eleanor Thomas, center, and Susan Oliver, longtime directors of the Meigs County County Council on Aging were given special recognition at the 40th anniversary celebration of the agency. Here they reminisce with Alice Wolfe, an early employee and longtime volunteer. the director until her retirement in 1991. Also introduced and speaking briefly was Susan Oliver, who was hired as director after Thomas’ retirement. She was in that position for the next 17 years when she retired. During that time some new programs were introduced, volunteers were recruited to work in the schools and in the communities, and there was an emphasis on assisting seniors so that they could “age in place.” Oliver said she is proud of the agency and its many See SENIORS |‌ Page 5 SHS student selected as National Youth Correspondent Student leader to travel to D.C. for journalism forum FAIRFAX, Va. — Joseph Smith, of Racine, a student at Southern Local High School has been nominated to represent Ohio as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2012 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University. Smith has been awarded the opportunity to join a select group of 250 students from across the country to participate in an intensive week-long study of journalism and media. Smith was chosen based on academic ac- complishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism and media studies. National Youth Correspondents participate in hands-on, experiential learning through decision-making simulations that challenge them to solve problems and explore the creative, practical, and ethical tensions inherent in journalism and media. The experiential portion of the program is complemented by speakers who are well-known leaders in the media community. Presenters include prominent journalists, CEO’s of major media outlets, researchers, and recent college graduates successfully entering the field. Last year’s conference included Hoda Kotb, Chuck Todd, Ann Kornblut, and Jessica Yellin. With distinguished faculty, guest speakers, and direct access to elite D.C. practitioners, the Washington Journalism and Media conference offers aspiring journalists an unparSee YOUTH ‌| Page 5 RACINE — The Southern Local School District, while described as “ahead of the game” in progress this school year, received a second round of funding for the “Race to the Top” (RttT) campaign made available from the Ohio Department of Education under the federal re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Southern received $45,416 for the 2011-2012 school year, Scott Wolfe, director of federal programs for the district, announced. Wolfe said the Race to the Top Fund (RttT) is a national competition with a competitive grant which highlights and replicates effective education reform strategies in four significant areas: *Adopting internationally bench-marked standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and the workplace; *Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals; *Building data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practices; and *Turning around the nation’s lowest-performing schools. Wolfe said the administrative team at Southern has been well ahead of the game in learning state-of-the art, scientifically research based strategies. “Southern was already in the process of doing many of the things that Race to the Top addresses, such as aligning school curriculum to Ohio Department of Education standards, building data systems and promoting Value Added strategies and school improvement,” said Wolfe. “Much of Southern’s school improvement has come through analyzing data and improving student weaknesses.” He explained that, “for- mative assessment, Marzano theory, and co-teaching are areas of the RttT grant that Southern is participating in through a collaboration with the University of Rio Grande. Teachers have been training in these areas over the past three years to not only better themselves, but to improve instruction and improve student learning.” Southern Elementary has twice been an ‘Ohio School of Excellence’ and Southern High School was a 2010-2011 ‘Ohio School of Promise’ as well as an ‘Ohio School of Excellence’. The previous school year Southern Elementary was an ‘Ohio School of Promise’. As for the second year funding, Superintendent Tony Deem said, “While many of the things we were already doing here at Southern, were Race to the Top goals, it only made sense to remain a part of RttT and to use that money to pay for our training needs and professional development. Anytime another resource comes along, it helps.” Southern’s administration noted that RttT funds are restricted to certain criteria, and cannot be used in just any area. Curriculum alignment to the new standards is an area that Southern has emphasized this school year. Staff and administration have been analyzing the new model standards and have begun implementation in kindergarten and 1st grade. These two grade levels will be among the first to take the revised Ohio Achievement Assessment a few years down the road. On Nov. 29, 2011 and Feb. 21, 2012, teachers were trained on Universal Design lesson plan models, formative assessment and formative instruction, value added components and balanced literacy. Ongoing professional development continues with the next teacher waiver day on April 9, 2012. Administrators will be attending training in value added student-teacher linkSee GAME ‌| Page 5 Meigs County Cancer Survivor Appreciation Dinner set Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Meigs County Cancer Survivors are invited to Rock Around the Clock Against Cancer during the annual Meigs County Cancer Survivor Appreciation Dinner.

I’ve tried several different rituals, like a bath and a book, or counting sheep. I keep the room dark and quiet, try to go to sleep at the same time every night and don’t overindulge in alcohol. Before I go the sleeping-pills route, I want to know if I am missing some new routine that would make me go to bed and stay asleep. — W.Y. Dear W.Y.: There have always been endless lists of ways to increase the chances that you will be able to drop off to sleep and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. I see that you already have gone through many of them, beginning with the old standby, counting sheep. But the key thing to understand is that it is the ritual itself — reading a book, drinking warm milk, whatever ritual you may choose — that actually may be the stumbling block in the all-out effort to attract the sandman. Psychologists at Ryerson University examined the rituals people use to go to sleep — even alcohol or sleeping pills — and the importance people put on what they call “safety behaviors” in their nightly routines designed to get to sleep and wake up feeling rested. The researchers found that safety behaviors were popular, but the belief that they would help actually might be getting in the way of the students getting a good night’s sleep, especially if the behaviors — such as alcohol consumption — were already proven to be unhelpful. The conclusion pointed toward all the extra effort to produce sleep being part of the problem, whereas learning to go to sleep naturally was much more likely to produce results.

Member SIPC. Baby dropped in field by tornado dies; toll at 39 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Fifteen-month-old Angel Babcock seemed to be the miracle survivor of a deadly tornado that killed her parents and two siblings when she arrived Friday night at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Ky. Though critically injured when the twister scooped her up and deposited her in a field, Angel was opening her eyes. Hospital workers said that was a hopeful sign. But the New Pekin, Ind., girl’s condition deteriorated Saturday as her brain swelled, chief nursing officer Cis Gruebbel said. As the day went on, Angel’s eyes ceased to move, and there was no sign of brain activity. The child’s grandmother, Kathy Babcock, told ABC News that she and other relatives decided Sunday afternoon to remove Angel from life support after medical staff told them there was nothing more they could do. “I had my arm around her when she took her last breath,” Babcock said. “I sang to her ‘Itsy-bitsy spider.’” Angel’s death ended a hopeful tale for survivors in the Midwest and South and brought to 39 the number of people killed by the storms that devastated five states.

The National Weather Service in Louisville, Ky., said the tornado that struck New Pekin measured an EF-3 on the enhanced Fujita scale, while another tornado that struck nearby Henryville, Ind., was stronger yet, measuring an EF-4 and packing winds of 175 mph. Early Monday, a blanket of wet snow covered Henryville and other parts of tornado-stricken Clark County. State homeland security spokeswoman Emily Norcross said the 2 to 4 inches of snow could slow cleanup efforts because it concealed potential hazards. “It’s slippery and it’s hampering visibility on roads, so it’s more difficult to see small debris like nails,” Norcross said. “It’s complicating things.” Theresa McCarty, owner of Pop Top Bar in New Pekin, said her husband was with emergency workers Friday when they found the Babcock family. Their bodies had been scattered, she said. McCarty, her friends and co-workers talked about establishing the bar as a central refuge for victims of the tornado from the immediate region, including making roughly 1,000 meals Sunday for victims and volunteers. �Tuesday, March 6, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com MHS students of the month honored By Shawnella Patterson MHS Junior Special to The Daily Sentinel POMEROY — Intelligent, actively involved, dedicated and hard-working are just a few of the words to describe the students at Meigs High School selected to receive the Student of the Month Award.

Hospice receives grant for patient music programs ATHENS — The O’Bleness Health System Appalachian Community Visiting Nurse Association, Hospice and Health Services recently received a $50,000 grant from the Epstein Teicher Philanthropies. The grant will help fund a music program at no cost to hospice patients served by Appalachian Community. The grant was written to model the hospice music program offered at Hospice of Central California in San Luis Obispo, Calif., where three fulltime musicians provide comfort to over 160 pa- tients per year who are in hospice care. Their program uses ancient techniques that blend music and spirituality. Appalachian Community plans to learn from the management and success of San Luis Obispo’s hospice music program in developing their program. “We hope to begin music client visits in the next few months,” said Appalachian Community Director of Development Milena Miller. “We are very excited to provide this hospice music program as there is no other such program in this area.” Ohio becomes a Romney-Santorum dead heat CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Mitt Romney’s allies are hoping Super Tuesday’s powerful imprint on the Republican presidential nomination will bring clarity, at long last, to the fractious contest and rouse Republicans behind their frontrunner. But that’s strictly up to voters across the nation, weighing in on the most consequential day of the campaign to date. Romney and his chief rival, Rick Santorum, scrambled for any advantage they could find Monday in Ohio, the most-watched contest in the 10-state extravaganza stretching from Alaska to the southeast. Speaking to supporters at a guardrail factory in Canton, Ohio, Romney tried to snap the subject back to the economy and away from social conservative issues this, after a furor erupted from radio host Rush Lim- baugh’s caustic comments about a college student who testified to Congress about contraception. “I look at this campaign right now and I see a lot of folks all talking about lots of things, but what we need to talk about to defeat Barack Obama is getting good jobs and scaling back the size of government, and that’s what I do,” Romney said. “Other people in this race have debated about the economy, they’ve read about the economy, they’ve talked about it in subcommittee meetings. But I’ve actually been in it.” The latest polls found Santorum slipping in Ohio, putting him in a near dead heat with Romney, and Gingrich looking strong but not invincible in his home state of Georgia, which he needs to win to have any hope of resurrecting his candidacy. Ron Paul, trailing the del- Chester Council DofA plans trip CHESTER — Chester Council 323, Daughters of America, will travel to Moundsville, W.Va. on March 17, 2012, to assist in instituting a Daughters of America Chapter in West Virginia. Plans for the trip were discussed during a recent meeting of the group held at the hall. Dennis Eichinger was installed to office, and a thank-you note was read from Jo Ann Ritchie. The good of the order committee had a bake sale. Reported ill were Donnie Roush, Opal Eichinger and Deloris Wolfe. The meeting opened in ritualistic form with pledges, scripture and prayer. Attending were Helen Wolf, Everett Grant, Mary Jo Barringer, Sharon Riffle, Esther Smith, Opal Hollon, Charlotte Grant, Samantha King, Gary Holter, Ruth Smith, Nancy King, Julie Curtis, Dennis Eichinger, Elizabeth Norton, Doris Grueser and Jo Ann Ritchie. egate count and the expectations game, hoped one or more of the three caucus states, Alaska, Idaho and North Dakota, would finally give him a victory. Fully one-third of the delegates needed to clinch the nomination are at stake Tuesday, altogether a larger prize than all the previous primaries and caucuses combined. President Barack Obama picked Tuesday for his first news conference of the year, a chance to steal a bit of thunder from the Republicans on their big day and defend a record of economic stewardship that is under daily assault in the GOP campaign. On the eve of Super Tuesday, the message coming from Republican establishment figures was clear: It’s time, if not past time, to crystallize the competition and unite the party behind the effort to defeat Obama in the fall. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, were among the latest GOP luminaries to swing behind Romney. Conservative John Ashcroft, attorney general in the George W. Bush administration and a former Missouri senator, threw his support behind Romney on Monday. “No other candidate stands out for his executive leadership experience or ability to accomplish difficult task as does Mitt Romney,” he said. Cantor told CNN “we’re coalescing around Mitt Romney’s plan to actually address the economic challenges,” and “trying to find ways to work together and bring people together and set aside differences.” Whether Super Tuesday marks that sort of turning point remains to be seen. Romney has been the presumed long-haul favorite from the start but Santorum’s surge unfolded as the latest in a line of surprises from a field now down to four candidates. Gingrich, whose only victory was in the Jan. 21 South Carolina primary, has staked his campaign’s future on winning Georgia, VOTE CARSON CROW Meigs County Common Pleas Judge - Family, Tradition, Community, Community Integrity Paid for by Candidate 60294685 “COACH” the state he represented in Congress for 20 years, and on building a stronghold in the conservative South. Toward that end, Gingrich scheduled stops Monday in Tennessee, where he appears to be in a close race with Santorum and Romney. Gingrich also planned to visit Alabama on Tuesday for the state’s March 13 primary before returning to Atlanta in the evening. Santorum told The Associated Press on Sunday that Romney’s inability to wrap up the nomination, despite an enormous financial advantage, “raises a lot of questions in people’s minds whether this is the man who can unite the party and be effective as a foil against Obama.” He suggested that the GOP nomination may not be settled until the party convention in late August, a circumstance considered improbable despite the jumble so far. While Romney has a significant advantage in northeastern states such as Vermont and Massachusetts where he was governor and Santorum is strong in conservative states such as Oklahoma, Ohio tops the list of hotly competitive and delegate-rich contests Tuesday. Both candidates focused on the state Monday after a weekend swing through the South. Romney has been working to make the race about the economy and to avoid intensifying the debate over conservative social values, a strong suit for Santorum. That effort was not helped when Limbaugh called a Georgetown University law student a “slut” and a “prostitute” on his nationally syndicated radio program, later apologizing. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Sorry mess: Presidential apologies and pardons By Dr. Earl Tilford Much ink has flowed over the recent apologies from President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and General John Allen, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, following the burning of copies of the Koran and their careless disposal. An apology may have been justified. A national mea culpa was not. When the president of the United States speaks for the nation, a national apology for the misguided acts of soldiers on the other side of the world has little meaning other than to feed the suspicions and hatreds of an enemy who hates the United States anyway. Implying that “we the people” are somehow to blame only legitimizes retribution on a potentially greater scale. Follow-on apologies by the secretaries of defense and state potentially extends that culpability to U.S. service personnel and members of the State Department. This compounds the threat to Americans posed by religious fanatics in this global war against al Qaeda and its confederates. What is in order is an examination of the purpose and results of our strategy in the War on Terror generally and Operation Enduring Freedom more specifically. These apologies weaken the United States in the eyes of the Taliban, further jeopardizing our troops, who are already facing the daunting task of withdrawing to meet a temporal deadline driven by domestic political considerations rather than strategic reality. An army in retreat faces the twin threat of an emboldened enemy anxious to exploit perceived weaknesses and a force whose mindset is on disengaging and going home and not on fighting to win. No one wants to be killed on the day we turned out the lights at Bagram Air Base. While controversy rages over the apologies, questions concerning this sorry mess remain unanswered. Who was responsible for disposing the Korans? When it was discovered that prisoners were communicating through messages written in the Korans made available by the prison library, who made the decision to burn the books? Did anyone think that these messages might hold intelligence value? What might have been learned had the messages been copied and analyzed? Did anyone think to slap a security classification on those Korans and then send them in secure pouches to CIA headquarters for exploitation? Had this been done under proper security, not only might we have gained valuable knowledge about the Taliban and al Qaeda, it would have been far less likely this sorry mess would have ever arisen. On the other hand, if the decision was to dispose the Korans, why wasn’t that done in a proper manner consistent with Islamic laws and traditions? In this kind of war, it is imperative that our warfighters understand the culture within which they are operating, especially concerning religious matters. Our enemies unabashedly acknowledge the nature of this conflict as a religious struggle—a jihad. When we deny that fact, we give the enemy a strategic advantage. Additionally, the otherwise “politically-correct” and “culturally-sensitive” U.S. armed forces seem to have their quota of chaplains for every possible religious faith, even Wiccans. It is hard to believe there is not a Muslim chaplain assigned to NATO headquarters in Afghanistan. If so, was he consulted on the proper way to dispose Korans? Did that occur to anyone? These oversights and mistakes, as consequential as they have become, do not rise to the level of an apology required by the president of the United States. Due to a needless knee-jerk reaction in Washington, a level of culpability probably not exceeding a letter of reprimand in a junior-level officer’s file has escalated into a sorry mess with enormous political and military implications.

High-ranking officers may suffer careerending consequences. In March 1968, a handful of American GIs commanded by Lt. William Calley murdered 501 South Vietnamese women, children, and old men. Calley eventually stood trial, was convicted of several counts of murder, and sentenced to life in prison at hard labor. He served one night in the post jail before receiving a presidential pardon. No one apologized to the Viet Cong—certainly not the president nor secretary of defense, neither of whom were in office when the incident occurred. This My Lai massacre occurred at the start of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. Troop morale was plummeting. Military leadership, from the top down, was out of touch with the true nature of the war. History should not be ignored. Apologizing to the enemy reflects a gross misunderstanding of the purpose and realities to which “we the people” commit our armed forces in our national interest. We go to war with regret, but without debasing ourselves in what are, essentially, meaningless expressions of hand wringing. The real sorry mess is in our strategic assumptions and those who are responsible for articulating them. ♦♦♦ Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East and terrorism with The Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College.

Page 4 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 My job is to help cut through federal red tape By Sen. Sherrod Brown Some of the most important work that I do has nothing to do with votes cast on the Senate floor. As your senator, my most important job is serving you and helping constituents cut through red tape when dealing with the federal government. That means helping seniors access the Social Security benefits they have paid into, assisting veterans and their families in obtaining military records and medals that they earned but never received, and helping small businesses that are looking to create jobs and access federal tax credits or lending programs. In more than 200 roundtables that I have held all over the state, I’ve heard from constituents who must spend hours on the telephone correcting a paperwork problem with a federal agency. They shouldn’t have to do this, and my office is here to help ease this burden. That is why my offices located in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Lorain are open every business day to serve you. With field offices in every region of the state – including rural areas in Southeast and Northwest Ohio – my top priority is constituent services. Ohioans in need of assistance can visit http:// brown.senate.gov/ohio/constituent_services/ or call my office toll-free at 1-888-896OHIO (6446). Still wondering if we could help you? Let me provide a few recent examples of ways my constituent services team have assisted Ohioans. A constituent from Southwest Ohio who was being denied Social Security benefits she earned recently contacted my office to try to resolve the issue with the Social Security Administration. She received a letter from SSA stating that her Social Security benefits had been terminated “as she requested” – but she had made no such request. The Ohioan was instructed to call again in 15 days, then in another 15 days, then in 48 hours. My office reached out to the SSA regional office to explain the problem. They found that nothing was in the record about her inquiry, and a change was made to ensure that she received the benefits she earned. A widow of a soldier from Stow who was killed in Vietnam asked my office to help replace several medals she had lost in a move more than 30 years ago. My office discovered that in addition to the four medals identified, the widow’s husband was also eligible for a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and other awards for his bravery. As a proud member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, it is always a privilege for me to help veterans and military families obtain replacements for lost medals and new medals that servicemembers may have never received. Earlier this month, a veteran was referred to my office after being denied dental care at the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center even though he had serviceconnected disabilities. My office contacted the VA Medical Center Director who determined that an error had been made and our veteran was indeed eligible for dental care. The veteran was immediately scheduled for a comprehensive dental evaluation. Veterans and military families – who often move from base to base – may not always have easy access to the documentation and records needed to receive service-related benefits and medals. Last year, my office helped more than 500 Ohio veterans and their families find these records so that they could apply for their medals or the benefits they earned. Sometimes, there are Ohio companies who want to expand operations and hire new workers, but federal bureaucracy stands in their way. Cool Containers, LLC, a Marietta-based company, produces specialized containers used to ship high value pharmaceuticals and other temperature sensitive materials. This Ohio company struggled for years to secure approval from U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) until my office intervened. With our help, the FAA approved the PharmaPort 360™ temperature controlled shipping container developed and manufactured by Cool Containers, LLC for use in commercial and military air transport. The FAA airworthiness certification follows over 1½ years of formal testing and review of design, systems integration, manufacturing practices and documentation. There is important work to do to improve the quality of life for Ohio seniors, veterans, families, and businesses. Legislation is a paramount aspect of that work, but members of Congress who are concerned about their neighbors do more that give speeches on the Senate floor. One of my most important jobs as Senator is fulfilling constituent services— from helping Ohioans cut red tape to assisting with government resources. If you or your family needs assistance, please contact my office at 1-888-896-OHIO. It’s an honor to serve you.

The week-long program, held at George Mason University’s state-of-the-art campus, encourages and inspires young leaders from across the country who desire a unique experience focused on successful careers in WASHINGTON (AP) — The lure of roads, bridges, buses and trains isn’t enough anymore to drive an expensive transportation bill through Congress. So to round up votes, congressional leaders are pitching the bills as the hottest thing around these days: job generators. But do they really create more jobs? The answer from a lot of economists is not really. The bills would simply shift spending that was creating jobs elsewhere in the economy to transportation industries. That means different jobs, but not necessarily additional ones. “Investments in transportation infrastructure, if well designed, should be viewed as investments in future productivity growth,” said Alice Rivlin, a former director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton. “If they speed the delivery of goods and people, they will certainly do that,” she said. “They will also create jobs, but not necessarily more jobs than the same money spent in other ways.” But that hasn’t diminished the jobs claims being made on Capitol Hill. “This legislation would put 2 million middle-class Americans back to work right away,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday, as he fumed about nearly 100 amendments that have delayed action on the Senate’s version of the transportation bill. “Although our economy has gained momentum, there are still millions of Americans out of work. So it should be obvious why we can’t afford to delay efforts to rebuild our roadways, railways and bridges,” he explained. In the House, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made a transportation bill the election-year centerpiece of the GOP’s jobs agenda last fall when he unveiled its broad outlines. To make sure nobody missed the point, the bill was dubbed the “American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act of 2012.” Game From Page 1 age tools on April 16. ‘Value Added’ is a term that refers to analyzing a student’s growth over time.

(AP) — Ohio State’s only senior ended Michigan State’s regular season on a sour note. William Buford made a high-arcing jumper from the top of the key with 1 second left, lifting the 10thranked Buckeyes to a 72-70 win over the fifth-ranked Spartans on Sunday to forge a three-way tie for the Big Ten championship. “I was fortunate to knock down the big shot of the night to give us another Big Ten title,” Buford said. Draymond Green had a chance to put the Spartans ahead in his final home game with 32 seconds left, but missed a long fadeaway from the right wing. Just before the buzzer, Green had a heave that missed the mark. Buford’s game-winning shot made a once-raucous arena nearly silent and gave a group of people elsewhere in the state a reason to shout with joy. The Buckeyes (25-6, 135) earned a share of their third straight conference championship and fifth in seven years. They also forced the Spartans (247, 13-5) to settle for just a piece of it and ended a quarter-century drought for No. 13 Michigan. The Wolverines, who won their first Big Ten title since 1986, watched their rivals play from the school’s basketball facility in Ann Arbor after winning at Penn State earlier in the day. “It was silent the whole time (Buford’s shot) was in the air,” said Michigan guard Trey Burke, who is from Columbus, Ohio. “Once it went in, everybody just flooded the hallway, jumping up and down.” Michigan State will be the top-seeded team in the Big Ten tournament, which begins Thursday in Indianapolis. Michigan will be No. 2 and Ohio State No. 3. Michigan State jumped out to a 15-point lead over Ohio State in the first half, but let the advantage slip away just as it did with a two-game lead in the Big Ten race with two games left in the regular season. “No excuses,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said, looking and sounding somber. “We just didn’t get it done.” The Buckeyes seized an opportunity created when the Spartans had a seven-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night at Indiana. “Luckily enough the Big Ten’s one of the toughest conferences in the country and it gave us a chance to get a hat and get a shirt,” Jared Sullinger said. Buford scored just four points when Michigan State ended Ohio State’s 39-game home winning streak last month. He returned the favor with his game-winning shot and by scoring 19 of his 25 points in the second half, handing the Spartans their first loss at home this season. “I just came in with a different mindset,” Buford said. “During that last play, I wasn’t going to miss.” Sullinger had 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting and Deshaun Thomas scored nine of his 12 points in the second half for the Buckeyes, who rallied to beat a motivated team that desperately wanted to win an outright championship after starting the season unranked. Green seemed too fired up about playing in his last home game, shooting a long airball on his first attempt from the baseline See BUCKEYES ‌| Page 8 Taylor, Tackett place at D-2 state meet Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Records are made to be broken. Just ask seniors Brandon Taylor and Zack Tackett. The Gallia Academy duo practically rewrote all of the program’s history this past weekend at the Jerome Schottenstein Center during the 2012 Division II OHSAA Wrestling Championships held on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. Taylor and Tackett went a combined 7-4 overall during the three-day event, with each upperclassmen earning All-Ohio honors (top-eight) while finishing in the top six of their respective weight classes. Taylor went 4-1 and finished third in the 170-pound division, while Tackett ended the weekend with a 3-3 mark and sixth place in the 182-pound weight class. Those collective efforts yielded the Blue Devils a 17th place finish and a program-best 27 team points at the state meet, which is — by far — the best-ever finishes for GAHS at the state level. St. Paris Graham won the D-2 crown with 183.5 points, finishing 86 points ahead of the rest of the 87 teams that scored at least one point at the tournament. Both grapplers placed as high as any athlete to ever wear a Blue and White singlet, as Jeptha Robinson solely owned the school mark after finishing sixth in the 1988 state tournament with a 3-3 record. Tackett and Taylor also joined Robinson and Jared Gravely (eighth in 2010) as the only podium placers in Gallia Academy wrestling history. It was the third consecutive year that GAHS had advanced at least one wrestler to the state meet, and it was also the third straight year that the Blue Devils scored at least one point in the D-2 competition — both of which are school records. It was also the third time that Gallia Academy had sent two grapplers to the state level, joining Taylor and Matt Watts last year and the duo of Dustin Winters and Tommy Saunders in 2005. In watching so many school records fall this weekend, second-year GAHS coach Brent Simms was nothing but ecstatic for his dynamic duo. “I’m really excited for both of them this weekend. They have both represented themselves and the program really well this year and over their careers,” Simms said. “They’ve been great examples for the younger guys to learn from and they absolutely deserve what they have done here this weekend. “I’m a big believer in karma, and I believe good things happen to good people who deserve those things. Brandon and Zack definitely deserved this weekend.” Taylor — who joined Ben Doolittle (2002, 2004) as the only two-time state qualifiers in GAHS history — definitely ended his prep career on a high note after becoming the new standard for Blue Devil wrestling. Taylor, who is the school’s alltime leader in career wins with 177, is now the highest state placer to ever wear the Blue and White. Taylor is also the only GAHS grappler to have four consecutive seasons with 40 or more wins at the varsity level. A two-time Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champion, Taylor spoke See STATE |‌ Page 8 Bryan Walters/photo Members of the Eastern girls basketball team pose for a picture after defeating Waterford by a 47-43 margin Saturday night in a Division IV district final at Jackson High School. Lady Eagles outlast Waterford for district title, 47-43 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com JACKSON, Ohio — Now that’s finishing what you started. The Eastern girls basketball team snapped Waterford’s six-year reign at regionals Saturday night during a hard-fought 4743 victory in a Division IV district final at Jackson High School in the Apple City. The Lady Eagles (18-5) stymied the top-seeded Lady ‘Cats (20-4) through three periods with an aggressive 1-3-1 zone, which allowed second-seeded Eastern to claim its biggest lead of the night at 4531 headed into the finale. Waterford, however, made one ferocious charge down the stretch — as the hosts held EHS scoreless for over seven minutes while gradually whittling away at their deficit. WHS went on a 12-0 run to pull within 45-43 with 2:38 left in regulation, but ultimately never came closer the rest of the way. Sophomore Erin Swat- zel ended the Lady Eagles’ scoring drought after sinking a pair of clutch free throws with just 7.7 seconds left in the game, giving EHS its only points of the fourth and an allimportant two-possession advantage. Waterford’s Hannah Brown was fouled while attempting a three-pointer around the time of the buzzer, which would have given WHS a chance to pull within one point at the charity stripe. After a brief discussion by the officials, they deemed that no time would be put back on the clock — making the pending three free throws irrelevant. With that, the game was called because the clock was at all zeros — giving Eastern its second straight district championship and fifth overall in program history. After losing in the regular season by counts of 5544 and 50-44, fourth-year EHS coach John Burdette noted afterwards that his troops never felt inSee EAGLES |‌ Page 10 Bryan Walters/photo Eastern sophomore Jenna Burdette (14) scores two of her game-high 15 points during Saturday’s 47-43 victory over Waterford in a Division IV girls district final at Jackson High School.

(AP) — Denny Hamlin spent nearly two months of the offseason in the Scottsdale area, hoping to get away from racing for a while, reinvigorate himself for the 2012 season. It seemed to do wonders, leading to a win at a place where he had one of the biggest disappointments of his career. Hamlin pulled away when NASCAR’s best closer ran out of gas and then had to sweat out his own fuel mileage before completing a confidence-boosting win at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday. “It’s a little bit of satisfaction there, for sure,” Hamlin said. “It’s a bittersweet track.” It was, in fact, the site of one of his worst memories as a driver. Hamlin seemed to have a comfortable lead over Jimmie Johnson in the penultimate race of the 2010 Chase when his title hopes were derailed by a fuel strategy that backfired. Forced to pit for fuel late in the race, he scrambled just to finish 19th while Johnson was fifth. Hamlin left the desert dejected after his lead was trimmed to 15 points and ended up losing the title the next week to Johnson, who earned his record fifth straight Sprint Cup championship. Hamlin then had bit of a hangover to start the 2011 season and never really clicked, ending up ninth in the Sprint Cup standings. That’s where his return to the desert comes in. Trying to get away from the constant race chatter around the Charlotte, N.C., area, Hamlin rented a house in Paradise Valley for seven weeks during the offseason. He came back strong to start this season, finishing fourth at the Daytona 500 with new crew chief Darian Grubb after qualifying 31st. Hamlin started 13th at PIR and briefly led a couple of times before beating Kevin Harvick off the line after a caution with 59 laps left. Harvick, NASCAR’s best finisher, put a scare into him toward the end, but ran out of gas on the final lap. Hamlin was concerned about gas as well, but had just enough for a celebratory burnout after his 18th career win and his first lead in the points since dejectedly leaving Phoenix in 2010. “When I come back here (and win), it puts 2011 to rest,” Hamlin said. “It’s a year I’d soon like to forget and now we can focus on winning a championship.” Hamlin had to hold off NASCAR’s version of a closer to get it. Harvick, who won three races at See HAMLIN ‌| Page 8 �Tuesday, March 6, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Sealed proposals for the Salisbury Township Guardrail Installation Project, Meigs County Ohio As per specifications in bid packet will be received by the Meigs County Commissioners at their office at the Courthouse, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 until 1:00 P.M.., March 22, 2012 and then at 1:15 P.M. at said office opened and read aloud for the following: Installation of Guardrails on Lee Road and BallRun Road and Long Hollow Rd., SalisburyTownship, Meigs County.

Taylor needed 2:44 to pin Brogan Endres of Dover in his first consolation match, then scored another pinfall win over Jacob Kasper of Lexington in the third place match in 4:26 of work. Those victories allowed Taylor to score four wins at the D-2 tournament, the most ever by a Blue Devil at the state level.

Brandon Wood scored 15 points and Derrick Nix had 11 off the bench, while Keith Appling was held to two of his 11 points after halftime for the Spartans, who lost standout freshman Branden Dawson in the first half with an injured left knee. Dawson has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Even with Michigan State’s students on spring break, there was big-game buzz in the Breslin Center and the fans had plenty to stand and cheer about when the Spartans went on a 12-0 run to take a 19-7 lead. “It was looking pretty bleak,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. Michigan State led 24-9 midway through the first half, then had a setback that will hurt heading into the Big Ten tournament this week and the NCAA tournament the following week. Dawson injured his left knee with 10:16 left in the first half. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound forward, who ranks third on the team in scoring, second in rebounds and perhaps first in athletic ability, rubbed his left knee while his leg was propped up on a chair and later walked gingerly to the locker room. After the game, Michigan State said Dawson has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Sullinger missed his first five shots and was 2 of 10 in the first half, but stayed active and aggressive enough to make all four of his free throws and to score eight points to help Ohio State trail by just nine at halftime. The Buckeyes scored the first six points of the sec- ond half and went ahead 52-51 with 9:53 left to take their first lead since scoring the game’s first two points. For the rest of the game, each team took a turn with a small lead, exchanging shots and banging bodies in a test that should prepare both for the rest of the month. In the second half, there were nine lead changes and seven ties. “This is about as high a level game as you can see,” Matta said. “I’m happy we were on this side of it.” Michigan State’s team posed for pictures without smiling in front of a Big Ten championship banner during a postgame ceremony to honor its seniors. When it was Izzo’s turn to address the crowd, he vowed that the Spartans would bounce back at the Big Ten tournament. “We’re going to go win our championship back,” he said. midway through the race. The five-time Sprint Cup champion led early in the race, but had to pit twice during a caution because of a vibration and returned to the track in 25th. Johnson clawed his way back toward the front to finish fourth, a nice result after he was docked 25 points for his car failing inspection the first day of Speedweeks and wrecked two laps into the Daytona 500. “We’ll take it,” said Johnson, still 71 points behind Hamlin. “I’m not really satisfied. I really felt like we had a car to win the race with. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out there. We had a little hiccup early in the race, but we still rebounded back and got a strong finish.” Johnson wasn’t the only one feeling a little pride. Grubb led Johnson to a victory in the 2006 Daytona 500 with crew chief Chad Knaus suspended and guided Tony Stewart to his third Sprint Cup title last year. But just a week after winning the title, Grubb was fired by Stewart, who later hired Steve Addington away from Penske Racing to serve as his crew chief. Grubb landed with Joe Gibbs Racing and seems to have clicked right away with Hamlin. “I guess you could say it’s a little bit of vindication, but I really don’t think that way, I just try to take the high road,” Grubb said. “I feel like I came into a very good situation and we’re building a heck of a team with the No. 11 car.” The teams didn’t have much time to prepare after one of the most bizarre Daytona 500s ever. Weather pushed the start of the race to Monday night and Juan Pablo Montoya’s did-that-reallyhappen crash into a safety truck during a caution led to a two-hour delay of flames and suds as crews tried to clean the track with laundry detergent. Adding to the long weekend, many drivers weren’t able to get home after the race because the airports in North Carolina were shut down due to bad weather. Six days later, there were no delays, no jet dryer crashes, no in-race tweeting. Just a track that got slicker as the weekend wore on. PIR was resurfaced after the 2011 spring race and held up well in the fall. The grip was decent for the early practice session Friday, but the track became tougher as the temperatures rose Saturday and again for the race. With the sun shining and the temperature in the 80s, drivers fought for traction all day, wobbling and sliding all over. Kasey Kahne slid into the wall early and Paul Menard did the same after A.J. Allmendinger got loose in front of him near the midpoint of the race. Ryan Newman, in a backup car because of a practice session crash, was knocked from sixth when Carl Edwards got loose with about 60 laps left and Brad Keselowski dropped back when he got a little squirrely a few laps later. “It was definitely slick for sure,” said Kyle Busch, who finished sixth. Not for Hamlin, allowing him to get a grip on a memory he wanted to erase. Hamlin From Page 6 the finish last season, had Hamlin lined up for another last-second victory. But as he closed in on the No. 11’s bumper, Harvick’s car turned off. His team had been concerned about having enough fuel to get to the end and just missed it, the No. 29 coasting over the line just ahead of Greg Biffle for second. “Those are the types of things you’ve got to do to take the chances and when you’re close enough to at least coast around, they did a good job,” Harvick said. Johnson did the best he could after his right rear wheel started shaking Miscellaneous TUESDAY PRIMETIME 6 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) 18 24 25 26 27 29 30 31 34 35 37 38 39 40 42 52 57 58 60 61 62 64 65 67 68 72 73 74 400 450 500 (WGN) (FXSP) (ESPN) (ESPN2) (LIFE) (FAM) (SPIKE) (NICK) (USA) (TBS) (CNN) (TNT) (AMC) (DISC) (A&E) (ANPL) (OXY) (WE) (E!)

You have a strong sense of direction that is fueled by an enthusiasm often not seen by others. Your self-expression is dynamic and caring. If you are single, you are the apple of many people’s eyes. The only question is: Who will you choose? If you are attached, you have great influence over your sweetie. At some point, expect a rebellion. Remember you are in a partnership and both of you have say. LEO likes working with you.

(AP) — Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun hasn’t made any plans to retire just yet. The 69-year-old Hall-of-Famer, a self-described gym rat, is back from a monthlong medical leave that had many questioning whether he would ever coach again. “We started this thing, I started it, 26 years ago and I haven’t made any plans to do anything else except come back,” Calhoun said Friday. “A few other things along the way Eagles From Page 8 timidated by the eight-time defending TVC Hocking champions — who also finished the season as the No. 6 ranked team in the final Division IV AP poll. “I don’t think there was ever a doubt in any of our kids’ minds that it couldn’t be done,” Burdette said. “We worked on stuff this week that we hadn’t done all year, and we executed well for three quarters. Luckily, it gave us enough of a cushion to hold on down the stretch.” The ‘stuff ’ that Burdette referenced was a suffocating 1-3-1 zone that ultimately held WHS to just 20 percent shoot- have gotten in my way.” And so he was at Gampel Pavilion on Saturday, less than a week after having a disk fragment removed from his spine, leading the Huskies to a 74-65 win over Pittsburgh. And on Monday, he was leading practice and getting ready to head out to Madison Square Garden for Tuesday’s start to the Big East tournament, hoping to lead the Huskies on a run similar to the 11-game streak that brought them a third na- ing in the contest. Sixth-year Waterford coach Jerry Close said the key to the final outcome was Eastern’s defensive approach, specifically early on. “I felt like we let Eastern dictate what we did in the first half. We got out of sorts against their zone, and they did a nice job with that, but we haven’t seen a lot of zone defenses this year,” Close said. “We have had success against zones this year because the teams weren’t as good, but when somebody good bumps you around a little bit in something you are not use to — you can struggle. I think that showed tonight.” tional title a year ago. “Somebody said to me, ‘Jeez it will be great to have you there,’” Calhoun said Monday. “I said, actually, you’d be better off having (former UConn guard) Kemba (Walker) here. “ What happens after this season is anyone’s guess, and pundits, friends, even former players and assistant coaches are doing just that. “It’s like, ‘OK, Jim you’re 70 years old, what more do you want to The Lady Eagles took a quick 3-0 lead a little over a minute into the game, but Waterford countered with eight straight points for their biggest lead of the night at 8-3 with 4:24 left in the opening period. Eastern countered with 10 straight points and closed the quarter on a 10-1 surge, giving the guests a 13-9 edge after eight minutes of play. EHS, which never trailed the rest of the way, followed with a pair of 16-11 runs over the next two stanzas — giving Eastern leads of 29-20 at the break and 4531 headed into the fourth. The Lady Eagles’ biggest lead in the first half was nine points. John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $750!

He’s at the point now where he’s won three national titles. He knows what’s at stake. He’s gotta make that decision.” Calhoun is a three-time cancer survivor, overcoming prostate cancer in 2003 and skin cancer twice, most recently in 2008. He has missed 29 games over his 40-year Facing elimination, the Lady ‘Cats responded like a program that had made six straight regional appearances — as the hosts forced seven of Eastern’s 15 turnovers down the stretch. Those mistakes allowed WHS to complete a 12-0 surge over 5:22, pulling the hosts to within 45-43 with just over two minutes left. Neither team could find the basket over the next two minutes, and Waterford had a chance to take the lead late in the contest following a timeout with 17.5 second left. The hosts ran Brooke Drayer off a screen at the top of the key, and the junior let a trifecta fly that ultimately rimmed out and into the hands of Swatzel. Swatzel hauled in the rebound and was fouled with 7.7 seconds remaining, then the sophomore calmly sank both charity tosses to wrap up the four-point decision. The victory secures a date at Pickerington High School North and the regional tournament on Thursday. The Lady Eagles will face Mansfield St. Peter’s in the first semifinal at 6:15 p.m. Waterford’s magical sixyear run as district champions started at Jackson High School back in 2006, when the Lady ‘Cats won a 44-39 decision over Eastern. This will also be the first postseason that WHS will not be at regionals with Jerry Close as head coach. Close noted afterwards that despite being down 14 points headed into the fourth, he never thought that his squad was out of contention. He also said that WHS had its chances, but the Lady Eagles found a way to get it done. “Our kids never quit and we never count ourselves out of any game. We ran a career because of various medical conditions and had to leave another 11 games for medical reasons. Calhoun took his latest medical leave on Feb. 3 and missed eight games because of the effects of spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine, normally associated with aging and sometimes with arthritis. It began affecting him over the summer, but reached the point where he could no longer coach after the team lost at Georgetown on Feb. 1. nice set play late to win it and it rimmed out,” Close said. “We didn’t shoot particularly well tonight and we seemed a little hurried when we did get a good look, but a lot of that was also because of Eastern’s defense.” And speaking of the Lady Eagles’ efforts, Burdette felt proud of what his troops accomplished collectively Saturday night. “The best thing about tonight was seeing everybody contribute to the win,” Burdette said. “Everybody on the floor chipped in something big, and everybody on the bench was into the game — talking to the players, trying to keep them up. Seeing everybody do their part tonight was something truly special for me.” Eastern connected on 16-of-40 field goal attempts for 40 percent, including a 5-of-15 effort from threepoint territory for 33 percent. The Lady Eagles were outrebounded by a sizable 36-20 margin, but also forced eight of Waterford’s 13 turnovers in the opening half. Jenna Burdette led EHS with a game-high 15 points, followed by Jordan Parker with 14 markers. Savannah Hawley and Erin Swatzel both chipped in six points apiece to the winning cause, while Kate Keller and Brenna Holter rounded out the respective scoring with four and two points. Eastern was 10-of-12 at the free throw line for 83 percent. Waterford made 13-of66 shot attempts overall, which included a 6-of-22 effort from three-point range for 27 percent. The hosts were also 11-of-19 at the charity stripe for 58 percent. Brooke Drayer paced WHS with 12 points, followed by Kaitlin Pottmeyer IN UP TO 6 ROOMS Where available.

Emily Brown and Hannah Brown both chipped in seven markers apiece, while Chelsey Paxton and Olivia Sprague rounded out the respective scoring with six and three points. The setback also marked the final game for seniors Emily Brown, Olivia Sprague, Kaitlin Pottmeyer and Alicia Donahue in Wildcat Green. Those losses, according to Close, will be difficult to overcome. “Emily’s a one thousand point scorer, and you just don’t replace that the next season. Olivia, Alicia and Kaitlin have all been a big part in what we’ve done here over the years as well,” Close said. “They are good kids and have been great to coach. They will definitely be missed.” Burdette, Drayer and Emily Brown — a trio of All-Ohio honorees a year ago — all went without a single point in the fourth quarter. Brown had six of her seven points in the opening quarter, while Drayer’s dozen markers came in the middle periods. Burdette had seven of her 14 points in the second canto and also tacked on four points apiece in the first and third stanzas. Brown also fouled out with 4:49 left in regulation. As much as this victory means to Eastern right now, Coach Burdette says that the real test comes Thursday when the Lady Eagles make another trip to the Sweet 16. Having been there just last winter, Burdette believes the experience will be very valuable this week in preparation. “I don’t think we’ll be overwhelmed by going back to regionals, but I also don’t think anybody else there will be either,” Burdette said. “We just have to be mature and take care of some things that we didn’t do so well tonight, but I am truly proud of them for getting back to Pickerington.” Eastern 47, Waterford 43 E 13-16-16-2 — 47 W 9-11-11-12 — 43 EASTERN (18-5): Brenna Holter 1 0-1 2, Savannah Hawley 2 0-0 6, Jordan Parker 4 4-4 14, Jenna Burdette 6 2-3 15, Kate Keller 2 0-0 4, Hayley Gillian 0 0-0 0, Maddie Rigsby 0 0-0 0, Erin Swatzel 1 4-4 6.
