POMEROY — A Syracuse
man was sentenced to three
years in prison after pleading guilty to several charges
on Monday in Meigs County
Common Pleas Court.
Michael L. Hammon Sr.,
35, pleaded guilty to seconddegree felony aggravated
arson and fourth-degree
felony trespass in a habitation, as well as misdemeanor
charges of domestic violence
and two counts of aggravated

climbed through a window to
gain access to the residence.
At that time, she left the residence and went to her parents’ house next door, where
she advised Hammon came
over and allegedly made
threats toward her. He then
went back to the residence
where he allegedly started a
ﬁre in the house.
Syracuse and Racine Fire
Departments were on the
scene as well as a Medic
truck from EMS. Hammon
was arrested at the scene for
domestic violence and aggravated arson, as well as aggravated menacing for allegedly
threatening Deputies King
and Fennell.
Judge I. Carson Crow
sentenced Hammon in accordance with the plea agreement read to the court by
Prosecutor James K. Stanley.

In the harsh light of the Larry Nascolumnist
sar sexual abuse scandal, everyone is
wondering how this went on so long.
But remember, harsh light is not the norm in this
world.
Secrecy is built into college athletics, particularly big-time football and basketball. Practices are
closed. Travel is teamonly. Injury information “Big-time college

lic universities, have
enjoyed a non-public
responsibility for decades. And when you get to
wear a cloak of secrecy, you start to think you can
control information.
So a call from campus police about an incident
involving a star athlete — police who are sometimes sympathetic to the local sports program
— can be kept private. Discipline can be kept
internal. Wrongdoing can stay “in the family.”
Even getting kicked off the team can be done with
a one-sentence explanation:
“Joe X was dismissed for disciplinary reasons.”
This is the world that college coaches and athletic directors have gotten used to.
It’s over.
At least it’s over at Michigan State. The walls
are coming down there faster than Jericho. A
week ago, there were votes of conﬁdence. Today,
President Lou Anna Simon is gone. Athletic director Mark Hollis is gone. Others will follow. And
the trumpet that felled them was the quivering
voices of more than 150 accusers and family members whom judge Rosemarie Aquilina allowed to
speak in her courtroom.
Day after day, we watched a grim parade of
brave young women detailing abuse that would
make any feeling person scream. It was extraordinary. It shook the world.
And now the world is demanding to know who
else knew, who did nothing, and worst of all, who
covered something up.
Under such scrutiny, it only takes one thread to
pull apart a cloak. That thread already exists, in
the form of two letters concerning a young woman
named Amanda Thomashow, who, in 2014, went
to Nassar for hip pain, and endured him groping
her private parts, despite her telling him to stop.
She had the courage to complain to MSU, which
started a Title IX investigation concurrent with a
police investigation. Somehow, choosing to rely
on employees who were close with Nassar, MSU
cleared him of any wrongdoing and concluded that
Thomashow didn’t understand the “nuanced difference” between abuse and medical treatment.
That’s bad enough. But Thomashow got one
document and the university got another, with
an extra 205 words that basically said “medically
sound or not” Nassar’s procedures opened the
school to potential lawsuits, so they should change
the way things are done.
That’s guilt, folks.
And it’s just the start. A former MSU gymnast,
Lindsey Lemke, told ABC’s “20/20” that her coach
tried “to scare me so I wouldn’t speak up” about
Nassar’s abuse. There’s two accusations of coverup. With Nassar allegedly abusing more than 150
victims, do you really think we’re done?
No. This is just getting started. MSU will be
sued for tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions. And it is now in the eye of the furious public, which means no patience, no tolerance, guilt
assumed before innocence.
This may lead to unfair conclusions. But in the
college world of enrollment and recruiting, perception is reality.
So when ESPN last week came out with a report
detailing sexual assault incidents in the football
and basketball programs, it was lumped under the
“something’s seriously wrong at MSU” umbrella.
Doesn’t matter that these charges were, in some
cases, 8 or 9 years old. Like I said, fairness is out
the window.
And Dantonio and Izzo need to understand
that. They need to accept the old way of “we know
what we’re doing” will get you ﬁred. Even a whiff
of cover-up is too much. Sexual assault, abuse and
harassment are explosive issues in America today.
And sadly, while Nassar showed how rampant
they can be in women’s sports, we already know

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Tuesday, Jan.
30, the 30th day of 2018.
There are 335 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On Jan. 30, 1968, the
Tet Offensive began
during the Vietnam War
as Communist forces
launched surprise attacks
against South Vietnamese towns and cities;
although the Communists were beaten back,
the offensive was seen as
a major setback for the
U.S. and its allies.
On this date
In 1649, England’s
King Charles I was executed for high treason.
In 1798, during a
meeting of the U.S.
House of Representatives
in Philadelphia, Matthew
Lyon of Vermont spat
tobacco juice in the face
of Roger Griswold of
Connecticut (two weeks
later, Griswold physically
attacked Lyon on the
House ﬂoor).
In 1882, the 32nd
president of the United
States, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, was born in
Hyde Park, New York.
In 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor
of Germany. The ﬁrst

episode of the “Lone
Ranger” radio program
was broadcast on station
WXYZ in Detroit.
In 1945, during World
War II, a Soviet submarine torpedoed the German ship MV Wilhelm
Gustloff in the Baltic Sea
with the loss of more
than 9,000 lives, most
of them war refugees;
roughly 1,000 people
survived. Adolf Hitler
marked the 12th anniversary of his appointment as Germany’s
chancellor with his last
public speech in which
he called on Germans to
keep resisting until victory.
In 1948, Indian political and spiritual leader
Mohandas K. Gandhi,
78, was shot and killed in
New Delhi by Nathuram
Godse (neh-too-RAHM’
gahd-SAY’), a Hindu
extremist. (Godse and a
co-conspirator were later
executed.) Aviation pioneer Orville Wright, 76,
died in Dayton, Ohio.
In 1958, “Sunrise at
Campobello,” a play by
Dore Schary (DOHR’-ee
SHER’-ee) about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s struggle against polio, opened
on Broadway with Ralph
Bellamy as FDR.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“History repeats itself in the large because
human nature changes with geological
leisureliness.”
— Will (1885-1981) and Ariel Durant (1898-1981)
American historians

In 1962, two members
of “The Flying Wallendas” high-wire act were
killed when their sevenperson pyramid collapsed during a performance at the State Fair
Coliseum in Detroit.
In 1969, The Beatles
staged an impromptu
concert atop Apple headquarters in London; it
was the group’s last public performance.
In 1972, 13 Roman
Catholic civil rights
marchers were shot to
death by British soldiers
in Northern Ireland on
what became known as
“Bloody Sunday.”
In 1981, an estimated
2 million New Yorkers
turned out for a tickertape parade honoring the
American hostages freed
from Iran.
In 1993, Los Angeles
inaugurated its Metro
Red Line, the city’s ﬁrst
modern subway.
Ten years ago: John

Edwards bowed out
of the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination. Rudy
Giuliani dropped out
of the Republican
presidential contest and
endorsed front-runner
and longtime friend John
McCain. The Federal
Reserve cut a key interest rate for the second
time in just over a week,
reducing the federal
funds rate by a half point
to 3 percent.
Five years ago: In a
dramatic appeal before
the Senate Judiciary
Committee, wounded
former Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords urged Congress to enact tougher
curbs on guns, saying,
“too many children are
dying” without them.
Patty Andrews, 94, the
last surviving member
of the singing Andrews
Sisters trio, died in the
Los Angeles suburb of
Northridge.

Blue Devils burn Portsmouth, 76-50
By Bryan Walters

Gallia Academy sophomore Zach Loveday (32) blocks a shot during the second
half of Saturday night’s OVC boys basketball contest against Portsmouth in
Centenary, Ohio.

CENTENARY, Ohio —
Eight, most deﬁnitely, was not
enough.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team had nine different players reach the scoring
column while picking up its
ninth straight victory on Saturday night during a 76-50 decision over visiting Portsmouth
in an Ohio Valley Conference
contest in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils (14-1, 8-1
OVC) shot 58 percent from
the ﬁeld and trailed all of 23
seconds in the contest as the
hosts broke away from a 19-all
tie after the ﬁrst quarter and
ultimately never looked back.
The Blue and White opened

the second canto with 12
consecutive points after hitting ﬁve of their ﬁrst six shot
attempts en route to a 31-19
edge with 4:33 left in the half,
but the Trojans (9-5, 4-4)
answered with four straight
points over the next minute to
close back to within eight.
Gallia Academy, however,
received ﬁve straight points
from Evan Wiseman to close
out the quarter, allowing the
hosts to secure a 36-23 cushion
headed into the break.
GAHS hit 7-of-12 shot
attempts during that key 17-4
second quarter surge, including all three of its trifecta
attempts in that span. In fact,
the hosts were a perfect 5-of-5
from behind the arc and shot
56 percent from the ﬂoor in the

ﬁrst half.
PHS, conversely, missed its
ﬁrst ﬁve shot attempts and
went just 1-of-10 from the ﬁeld
in the second canto. The Red
and Blue were 9-of-24 shooting
for 38 percent in the opening
16 minutes of play.
After building leads of 7-0,
10-2 and 14-5 early in the ﬁrst
period, Portsmouth’s quickness
starting giving the hosts ﬁts
over the ﬁnal three minutes of
the opener — which allowed
PHS to rally back and take a
brief 17-16 cushion before both
teams ended up deadlocked at
19-all.
The Blue Devils switched
their defensive approach in

top Miller on
road, 59-41

HEMLOCK, Ohio — A perfect end to a perfect
week.
The Eastern girls basketball team picked up
its third win of the week on Saturday afternoon
in Perry County, defeating Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division host Miller by a 59-41 count.
The Lady Eagles (11-5, 9-2 TVC Hocking)
charged out to a 15-8 lead by the end of the ﬁrst
quarter. Eastern broke the game wide open in
the second quarter, outscoring Miller (9-7, 7-6)
by an 18-7 count to make the EHS lead 33-15 at
halftime.
Eastern was held to just four points in the third
quarter, as the Lady Falcons cut the deﬁcit to
single digits, at 37-28, headed into the fourth.
Miller poured in 11 points over the ﬁnal eight
minutes, but the Lady Eagles ﬁnished with their
best quarter of the game, capping off the 59-41
win 22 points.
EHS senior Madison Williams led the victors
with 16 points, followed by freshman Olivia Barber with 12. Jess Parker hit the game’s only threepointer and ﬁnished with nine points, Alyson Bailey and Elizabeth Collins both scored seven in the
win, while Kaitlyn Hawk and Kelsey Casto added
four apiece.
Lacey Alexander paced Miller with 12 points,
followed by Chloe Rine with 11 and Haille Joseph
with 10. Askya McFann scored six points in the
setback, while Ashley Spencer came in with two.
From the free throw line, Eastern shot 12-of-29
(41.4 percent) and Miller was 15-of-31 (48.4 percent).
The win completes the season sweep for the
Lady Eagles, as they also claimed a 51-42 decision
over Miller on Dec. 14 in Tuppers Plains.
After visiting Wahama on Monday, Eastern will
be back at ‘The Nest’ on Thursday to host Federal
Hocking.

Lady Tornadoes turn back Wahama, 52-35
By Alex Hawley

RACINE, Ohio — The
sweep is complete.
After taking a 52-44
victory over the Lady
Falcons on Dec. 14, the
Southern girls basketball
team ﬁnished the season
sweep of Wahama on Saturday in Meigs County,
winning by a 52-35 count
in Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division play.
The Lady Falcons
(4-10, 2-10 TVC Hocking) claimed a 2-0 lead
just over a minute into
the game, but surrendered the next six points
and never regained the
advantage.
Southern (5-12, 3-10)
jumped out to a 11-5 lead,
before the Lady Falcons
reeled off six straight
points to tie the game.
However, the Lady Tornadoes ended the ﬁrst
period with a 7-0 run and
a 18-11 advantage.
SHS scored the ﬁrst
nine points of the second
quarter and led 27-11
with 4:00 left in the half.
Wahama cut its deﬁcit to
32-19 by halftime, scoring
six of their eight points
from the free throw line.
The guests cut the
deﬁcit to 10 points within
the opening minute of the
second half, but never got
closer. The SHS lead was
as high as 17 points in
the third quarter, but the
Lady Tornadoes settled
for a 43-29 edge headed
into the ﬁnale.
The Purple and Gold
pushed their lead to a

game-high 19 points with
1:22 left in regulation and
cruised to a 52-35 victory.
“We kind of allowed
them to hang around in
the ﬁrst half,” SHS head
coach David Kight said.
“I think their last 10-or12 points were off a free
throw or a second chance
bucket. The proof is in
the pudding, when you go
back and look at games
that we’ve done well in,
we haven’t allowed second chance points and
we haven’t put them at
the foul line. That’s kind
of our Achilles’ heel right
now, but we cleaned it
up in the second half.
We were still able to
apply pressure and I was
extremely proud of them
for that.”
For the game, Southern shot 20-of-60 (33.3
percent) from the ﬁeld,
including 3-of-10 (30
percent) from threepoint range. Meanwhile,
Wahama shot 13-of-56
(23.2 percent), including
2-of-10 (20 percent) from
beyond the arc.
At the free throw line,
SHS shot 9-of-17 (52.9
percent) and WHS shot
7-of-16 (43.8 percent).
“It’s a lot better than
it’s ever been,” Wahama
head coach John Arnott
said. “We ended up
with 35, I’ve seen nights
where we could get four,
so we’re getting better.
I’m not a crier, they just
played better than us
tonight. We got out-hustled, they played harder
and we made turnovers
we didn’t need to make.

Wahama sophomore Hannah Rose dribbles near the top of the key
during the Lady Falcons’ 52-35 loss at Southern on Saturday.

I don’t know how to
explain it, it just wasn’t
one of our better nights
and you’ll have those. You
have to comeback and
play through it.”
Both teams grabbed 41
rebounds in the contest,
with Wahama earning
an 18-to-13 edge on the
offensive glass. SHS
held advantages of 9-to4 in assists and 12-to-1
in steals, while WHS
picked up a 6-to-1 edge
in blocked shots. The
Lady Falcons turned the
ball over 20 times in the
contest, while the Lady
Tornadoes gave the ball
away just 13 times.
“We had good ball
movement all night long,
I was extremely please
with it,” Kight said.
“We got a shot or two to
fall early and we got in
our press and I think it

jump started us. We got
three steals in a row, two
scores and once we got
up 6-2 we never looked
back. Our defense led
to offense, our pressure
jump starts our offense
and that was evident
tonight.”
SHS senior Josie
Cundiff hit a game-best
two three-pointers and
ﬁnished with 11 points to
lead the Purple and Gold.
Phoenix Cleland recorded
a double-double of 10
points and 12 rebounds
to go with a game-best
four assists, while Jaiden
Roberts came up with
nine points.
Paige VanMeter hit one
three-pointer and ﬁnished
with eight points, Lauren Lavender chipped in
with seven points, while

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — It took a little extra work
to end the Rebels’ run.
The South Gallia boys basketball team had its threegame winning streak come to an end on Saturday
night following a 50-47 overtime setback to visiting
Symmes Valley in a non-conference matchup in Gallia
County.
The Rebels (4-10) found themselves in a twopossession hole after one half of play, but the hosts
overcame a 30-24 deﬁcit with a 21-15 second half run
that ultimately tied things up at 45-all at the end of
regulation.
The Vikings (8-7), however, got a pair of ﬁeld goals
from Layken Gothard in the extra session as both
teams missed three free throws apiece down the
stretch. SVHS ended up making a 5-2 run over the
ﬁnal four minutes, which wrapped up the one-possession outcome.
Symmes Valley also claimed a season sweep of
SGHS after posting a 55-30 decision in Willow Wood
back on Dec. 1, 2017.
The Vikings led 15-12 after eight minutes of play,
then made another 15-12 second quarter run to
secure a six-point cushion headed into the break.
The Rebels countered with a small 10-8 third quarter run that whittled the lead down to 38-34 headed
into the ﬁnale, then Austin Stapleton scored ﬁve
points as part of an 11-7 charge in the fourth — forcing a 45-all contest through 32 minutes of action.
SGHS made 19 total ﬁeld goals — including four
three-pointers — and also went 5-of-10 at the free
throw line for 50 percent.
Eli Ellis paced the Red and Gold with 15 points, followed by Curtis Haner with 14 points and Stapleton
with eight markers. Braxton Hardy was next with
seven points, while Jared Burdette completed the
scoring with three markers.
The Vikings netted 19 total ﬁeld goals — including
two trifectas — and also went 10-of-17 at the charity
stripe for 59 percent.
Gothard paced SVHS with a game-high 27 points,
followed by Nick Klaiber and Brock Carpenter with
seven markers apiece.
Hunter Adams was next with six points, while Alec
Carpenter and Austin Mannon respectively completed
the winning tally with two points and one point.
South Gallia returns to action Tuesday when it
hosts Eastern in a TVC Hocking contest at 7 p.m.

Indians removing
Chief Wahoo logo
from game uniforms
CLEVELAND (AP) — Divisive and hotly
debated, the Chief Wahoo logo is being removed
from the Cleveland Indians’ uniform next year.
The polarizing mascot is coming off the team’s
jersey sleeves and caps starting in the 2019
season, a move that will end Chief Wahoo’s presence on the ﬁeld but may not completely silence
those who deem it racist.
The Associated Press was informed of the
decision before an ofﬁcial announcement was
planned for Monday by Major League Baseball.
After lengthy discussions between team owner
Paul Dolan and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, the Indians are taking the extraordinary
step of shelving the big-toothed, smiling, redfaced caricature, which has been used in used in
various expressions by the team since 1947.
However, the American League team will
continue to wear the Wahoo logo on its uniform
sleeves and caps in 2018, and the club will still
sell merchandise featuring the mascot in Northeast Ohio. The team must maintain a retail
presence so that MLB and the Indians can keep
ownership of the trademark.
“Major League Baseball is committed to building a culture of diversity and inclusion throughout the game,” Manfred said in a statement.
“Over the past year, we encouraged dialogue
with the Indians organization about the club’s
use of the Chief Wahoo logo. During our constructive conversations, Paul Dolan made clear
that there are fans who have a longstanding
attachment to the logo and its place in the history of the team.
“Nonetheless, the club ultimately agreed with
my position that the logo is no longer appropriate for on-ﬁeld use in Major League Baseball,
and I appreciate Mr. Dolan’s acknowledgement
that removing it from the on-ﬁeld uniform by the
start of the 2019 season is the right course.”
Under growing pressure to eliminate Chief
Wahoo, the club has been transitioning away
from the logo in recent years. The Indians introduced a block “C” insignia on some of their caps
and have removed signs with the Wahoo logo in
and around Progressive Field, the team’s downtown ballpark.
National criticism and scrutiny about the Indians’ allegiance to Chief Wahoo grew in 2016,
when the Indians made the World Series and
Manfred expressed his desire to have the team
eradicate the symbol. Earlier in that postseason,
a lawsuit was ﬁled while the club was playing in
Toronto to have the logo and team name banned
from appearing on Canadian TV. That court case
was dismissed by a judge.
The Indians’ bid to host the 2019 All-Star
Game, which it was ultimately awarded, further
heightened debate over Wahoo.

Years later, Roger Federer still on top
By Howard Fendrich
Associated Press

Used to be that Roger
Federer simply could not
win a match, let alone a
championship, at major
tournaments.
That might be hard
to imagine now that
Federer owns 20 Grand
Slam trophies. But you
can look it up: He lost in
the ﬁrst round on three
of his ﬁrst four trips to
Wimbledon, and three of
his ﬁrst ﬁve appearances
at the French Open.
So let’s recall what
Federer said at the All
England Club on the day
he collected his very ﬁrst
Grand Slam title, all the
way back in July 2003.
“I hope,” Federer said,
“it’s not going to be my
last.”
Seems silly nowadays,
doesn’t it?
Because there he was,
nearly 15 full years later,
tears dotting his cheeks
as he spoke to an adoring Australian Open
crowd after beating 2014
U.S. Open champion
Marin Cilic 6-2, 6-7 (5),

Ng Han Guan | AP

Switzerland’s Roger Federer leaps in the air to let a ball pass
between his legs while playing Croatia’s Marin Cilic during
the men’s singles final Sunday at the Australian Open tennis
championships in Melbourne, Australia.

6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in Sunday’s
ﬁnal in Melbourne.
Holding his most recent
prize, Federer declared,
“The fairy tale continues.”
It’s hard to decide
what is most remarkable
about Federer’s career.
Cilic’s take?
“The passion to
compete, season after
season, especially at this
high level,” said the man
who has lost two of the
last three Grand Slam
ﬁnals to the Swiss mae-

stro. “Also, being able to
challenge himself, ﬁrst
physically and then mentally, as well, to be at the
top almost every single
week.”
The sheer volume of
it all does stand out.
Federer has won exactly
10 percent of the 200
major tournaments contested in the professional
era. Before Federer
started collecting his
20, the most any man
managed to accumulate
was the 14 for Pete Sam-

pras; he now stands No.
3, behind Federer and
Rafael Nadal with 16.
There’s also that constant work to evolve and
improve, most notably
during his recent renaissance by adding versatility to his backhand
side with a ﬂatter, more
powerful shot than his
long-preferred slice.
And there’s the longevity, which is particularly
impressive in light of the
recent injury woes for
the younger members
of tennis’ elite: Nadal,
Novak Djokovic, Andy
Murray and Stan Wawrinka.
At 36½, Federer is
now the second-oldest
man to win a Grand
Slam title in the Open
era — Ken Roswell won
Australia in 1972 at 37.
And after going more
than four years without
a trophy, he’s added
three in the span of four
appearances at majors
(he skipped last year’s
French Open and sounds
like someone contemplating doing so again in
a few months’ time).

AFC rallies to win Pro Bowl 24-23
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— Delanie Walker held
the ball in the end zone
and waited for his teammates to celebrate.
They came from every
direction: Left, right and
even the bench.
The Tennessee Titans
tight end caught two
touchdown passes,
including an 18-yarder
with 1:31 remaining ,
and the AFC beat the
NFC 24-23 in a rainsoaked Pro Bowl on
Sunday.
Teammates mobbed

Antonio Browns, Baltimore safety Eric Weddle,
Jacksonville cornerback
Jalen Ramsey and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin
were among those who
left the sideline to congratulate Walker.
“That’s as real as it
gets in football,” Oakland quarterback Derek
Carr said. “You always
want to win, especially
with money on the line.”
The winning team got
$64,000 each, double the
losing team’s share.
“You’ve got guys on
the sidelines saying, ‘I

need that money,’” Carr
said.
Carr completed 11 of
15 passes for 115 yards
and connected with
Walker on a skinny post
for the winning score.
Denver’s Von Miller
sealed the victory when
he caused and recovered
a fumble by Los Angeles
Rams quarterback Jared
Goff. Miller posed problems all afternoon for the
NFC.
“I go all out all the
time,” Miller said.
Although the game
was more two-hand

touch than hard-nosed
football, there were
plenty of defensive gems.
Arizona’s Patrick
Peterson had two interceptions. Minnesota’s
Harrison Smith returned
a pick for a score. And
two players took exception to one aggressive
takedown. Tennessee left
tackle Taylor Lewan and
Oakland guard Kelechi
Osemele had words for
New Orleans defensive
end Cameron Jordan
after he drilled Indianapolis tight end Jack
Doyle.
