Three charged following alleged assault
Charges include attempted murder, rape
Staff Report

MEIGS COUNTY —
Three people are facing
multiple felony charges,
including attempted murder, following an alleged
assault on Wednesday.
In a news release,
Meigs County Sheriff
Keith Wood reported that
around noon on March
7, his ofﬁce received a
phone call in reference to
a female that showed up
at a residence on Curtis

Hollow Road that had
been allegedly beaten
and was bleeding. Deputies arrived at the scene
and began an investigation as the victim was
being treated by Meigs
EMS. Once paramedics
arrived, it was determined the victim had a
severe fracture from what
investigators later discovered was incurred from
falling from a nearby cliff
along Forked Run Lake.
Deputies were able to

obtain information from
the victim prior to her
being ﬂown to St. Mary’s
Hospital in Huntington,
W.Va. for her injuries.
Deputies had learned
during the investigation
that sometime Wednesday morning the victim
was at a residence on
Bald Knob Stiversville
Road when Marissa
Starcher, age 34, of
Pomeroy, Brooke Watson, age 29 and Nathan
Grimm, age 31 of Ross

Grimm

Starcher

Road, Portland, allegedly
began assaulting the victim over alleged missing
money that the victim
was accused of taking.
The victim was reportedly beaten, punched,
and hit with a ball bat
several times by all
involved. Watson and

Starcher
allegedly
pulled the
victim’s
hair out of
her scalp
as well as
Watson
hit her with
a broom
handle. The victim also
alleges being sexually
assaulted.
The victim was then
reportedly blindfolded,
placed into a car and
driven to Putnam Drive
next to Forked Run Lake.
While in the car, the victim stated that her hair

was cut but did not know
by whom. Once they
arrived to a pull-off spot
on Putnam Drive overlooking the lake, the victim stated that she was
drug from the car and
shoved over a cliff which
was several feet down
where she sustained the
severe injury to her arm.
A search warrant was
obtained for the residence on Bald Knob Stiversville Road and was
executed by deputies and
BCI, who was called in to

Village council
discusses cost of
flood damages
By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council recently
met for its regularly scheduled meeting discussing
the cost of repairs for recent ﬂood damage.
Mayor Don Anderson explained the village
reported an estimate of more than $575,000 worth
of ﬂood damages including the loss of six light
poles, a water fountain, and the culvert collapse
on Main Street. Anderson said approximately
$450,000 of the estimate is for repairs to the culvert collapse.
Anderson spoke with council about the Meigs
Football Field being put up on open market. He
shared he asked the Meigs Local Board of Education to give the football ﬁeld back to the village of
Pomeroy and they told him to attend a meeting to
address the issue. Anderson said he was unable to
be added to a meeting’s agenda to speak before it
was decided the football ﬁeld would be put up on
open market.
Anderson stated, “In my view, it should come
back to the village who built it and paid for it to
begin with…both Pomeroy Junior High and High
School came to the village, but not the football
ﬁeld…they were using the football ﬁeld…thinking
ahead on that football ﬁeld, we just passed a resolution to go with the 833 project, so here we are
adding sewer customers…my thinking is, here is a
property adjacent to your sewer treatment plant,
which is perfect for if we have to increase the size
of our sewer treatment plant, Meigs Local doesn’t
see it that way.”
Anderson said he will be attending the next
regularly scheduled Meigs Local School Board
meeting to discuss the football ﬁeld.
Pomeroy Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar approached
council to discuss changing the ﬁre department’s
cost recovery company. Blaettnar explained the
current Cost Recovery Amendment would need
to be changed, updating the name of the new
cost recovery company. The council approved to
change the ﬁre department’s cost recovery company. Also, council approved updating the name of
the company on the Cost Recovery Amendment.

OHIO VALLEY — Pilots from
across the Southeast recently met
with Congressman Bill Johnson
(Ohio R-6) for a meet and greet at
Jackson County’s James A. Rhodes
Airport.
AOPA (Aircraft Owners and
Pilots Association) hosted the
event, and AOPA Great Lakes
Regional Manager Kyle Lewis
welcomed the group. AOPA is a
not-for-proﬁt organization founded
in 1939 and dedicated to general
aviation. It is the largest aviation
community in the world, repre-

senting over 75 countries.
General aviation is deﬁned as
all civilian ﬂying except scheduled
passenger airlines and military
operations. Examples are personal
and business travel, agricultural
aviation, ﬂight training, medical
transport, mapping, law enforcement and search and rescue.
“AOPA is here to represent the
interests of the over 360,000 members nationwide, 8,200 of them in
the state of Ohio,” Lewis said.
Their mission is “to protect the
freedom to ﬂy” by advocating on
behalf of members “to keep general aviation accessible to all.”
The proposed HR 2997/21st

Century Aviation Innovation
Reform and Reauthorization
(AIRR) Act as introduced in the
U.S. House of Representatives is
seen as a threat to that endeavor
by some. At issue is Title II of HR
2997, a measure that would transfer operation of air trafﬁc services
from the FAA to a separate not-forproﬁt corporate entity.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) currently operates
air trafﬁc services and their “NextGen” program is in the process of
replacing aging equipment.
AOPA is concerned the proposed

TOPS MEETING NEWS
TUPPERS PLAINS
— The weekly meeting of TOPS OH #2013
took place on Monday
evening at the St Paul’s
United Methodist
Church in Tuppers
Plains. After reciting
the TOPS (Take off
Pounds Sensibly) and
KOPS (Keep off Pounds
Sensibly) Pledges, the
group said the Pledge of
Allegiance. After Cindy
Hyde led the group in
TOPS songs the roll
call revealed that Kathy
McDaniel was the best
loser of the week with
Sue Maison as runner
up. Kathy received a
certiﬁcate and the fruit/
vegetable basket. Glenda
Hunt gave the secretary’s
report to which there
were no additions nor
corrections. Progress
was reported on two
ongoing contest — the
“Dime” game and the
“Marble” game.
Local winners of the
TOPS Inc. contest,
“One in a Million”, were
announced. They are as

follows: Nola Easterling,
Roberta Henderson, May
Frost, Mary Rankin,
Dixie Carpenter and
Kathy McDaniel. To
be recognized for this
award the member must
have had a 10 pound
weight loss in 2017.
Each winner received a
TOPS charm.
In the business portion
of the meeting, members
brainstormed ideas to
energize the chapter.
Some thought that
variety in educational
presentations with open
discussion has always
been a good idea. Others thought that having
more contest or more
awards to receive TOPS
charms might be helpful.
A Facebook page was
mentioned. All agreed
that current leader, Pat
Snedden’s weekly leadership and information
sharing from TOPS
materials is invaluable. It
would however be helpful to Pat if others would
take turns presenting the
program. The members

agreed to this. Glenda
Hunt will be presenter
of the program for next
Monday.
Open discussion consisted of ideas on measuring food amounts
because sometimes the
tendency to over exaggerate portions thwarts
weight loss effort. Pat
Snedden did a presentation of this in the past
but has suggested that
we repeat it. She also
said that losing weight
is not rocket science:
“Eat less; move more”.
There are three steps
that one has to achieve
in order to have weight
loss: (1) Identify the
problem (2) Make a goal
(3) Just do it. She went
on to say that with the
foods that temp you the
most that the ﬁrst three
bites are most likely
all that you really taste
anyway so eat the three
bites then stop. And of
course members were
urged to keep a food
journal (chart) and to
exercise.

It was also noted that
of the members attending this meeting that
50 percent were KOPS
(Keep off Pounds Sensibly). This means that
they have achieved their
physician designated
ideal body weight. They
now are on the journey
of maintenance, which
is often as difﬁcult as
losing the weight. The
KOPS give credit to
weekly weigh ins and the
support that the TOPS
group offers as reason
for their success. They
are an inspiration to
those who are still on the
weight loss journey. This
is one reason that the
KOPS receive applause
every week after the
KOPS Pledge is recited.
The group dismissed
with the “Helping Hand”
Circle.
If you are interested
in joining TOPS, call
Leader Pat Snedden at
740-541-9696. The Monday evening meetings
begin at 6 p.m. and last
about an hour.

Issues
From page 1

legislation will adversely
affect general aviation
by allowing preferential
treatment for commercial airlines. The
outsourced Air Trafﬁc
Control (ATC) would
include a board made up
of commercial, corporate
and general aviation
to oversee the operations, with commercial
interests making up a
substantial part of the
board.
Those against the measure call it privatization,
and believe it would give
priority to commercial
interests and allow for
restrictions and prohibitive fees to be placed on
general aviation.
With the proposed
structure of the board,
and the contracted company focused on proﬁt,
commercial interests
may dominate, and segments without power
such as small airports
and even smaller cities
would loose allocations
of resources, according
to some.
Proponents, including
Johnson, a strong supporter of the bill, say it
is a not for proﬁt and
will assist with efforts to
modernize.
Johnson began by
acknowledging “the concerns raised by AOPA
are good concerns, and
there are no user fees
in the bill, nor would I
want user fees placed on
general aviation in the
U.S.”
“I have been a pilot for
49 years,” Johnson said.
“But I do not believe giving more money to the
FAA will solve the problems we are facing.
The concerns
expressed by general
aviation have really hit
home. There are no user
fees in the bill and gen-

eral aviation is expressly
protected. We do not
have the votes to pass
the bill at this time, but
something needs to be
done to modernize and
repair our airport infrastructure.”
Johnson shared that
he believes the best way
to move forward on
aviation related matters
is with Public-Private
investments. He said
those investments have
created innovation,
and gave NASA as an
example.
An audience participant commented that the
FAA was not the problem, rather lack of stable
and predictable budgeting, referring to government shutdowns and
short term rather than
long term funding for
modernization projects.
“This is no way to
run a business,” was
Johnson’s response “Our
budget, appropriation
and funding process is
broken, but the FAA’s
problem is just not of
funding.”
Another audience
member asked,”What
protections does general
aviation have?”

“The FAA and Congress would still have the
oversight of the ATC,”
Johnson explained. “The
bill is not outsourcing
the structure and control, just operations and
airspace equipment.”
Lewis initiated a
discussion around the
high cost to transfer the
operations and assets
quoting a Congressional
Budget Ofﬁce (CBO)
report.
“What transfers are
the systems, with publicprivate partnership we
will get to the ADS-B
sooner, Europe is ahead
of us.”
ADS-B stands for
Automatic Dependent
Surveillance, an aircraft
system that uses satellite-based GPS to replace
radar as the primary
surveillance method
for controlling aircraft
worldwide.
Lewis stated the airlines are self serving,
and that “we are looking
for protection for general
aviation in this country.”
Johnson countered
that private sector
innovation is needed
to modernize the ATC,
and reiterated that there

were protections in place
for general aviation.
Another audience
member shared the concern that the ATC had
quite a diverse group of
users, and that historically Congress had been
responsive to general
aviation. He questioned
that once control is
turned over to someone
with a proﬁt motive,
Congress would then be
more responsive to commercial interest.
Johnson again agreed
with the concern, but
remained ﬁrm that the
board would allow all
voices to be heard and
that the FAA and Congress had ﬁnal authority.
While all parties agree
the ATC needs to move
forward with improvement and innovation, the
debate will continue on
how best to accomplish
those goals. Will the
outcome be to continue
to operate under FAA
control, or to outsource
to a private company?
The ﬁnal decision will be
made by Congress in the
following months.

Fourth Sunday of Lent: For God so loved the world
As I was preparing
to write the article for
this fourth Sunday of
Lent, I read something
by a minister name Dr.
Dan Wuori. I thought
it was very good, so I’d
like to use some of his
ideas and then my own
to think about a word
we hear all the time:
LOVE. The Bible verse
this week is probably the
most well-known verse
in the Bible: John 3:16.
We use the word love
a lot – but what does it

really mean? What are
you saying when you tell
someone that you love
them? We love our parents; we love pizza; we
love to play sports; we
love our pets; we love
our new outﬁt; we say
we love a many things,
but is that love all the
same? When you love
someone – truly love
them – it means that
you care so deeply about
them that you’d do anything for them. Love is a
very powerful thing.

There’s a name for

Lawyer and client ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’
mediation pose a
powerful image
The American Bar Association recently sponsored a regional “mediation” tournament that was
hosted by the School of Law at Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va. Around fourteen other schools
of law from in the country participated. Our son,
Jamin, who is a second-year law student, teamed up with Jared Blake,
who is a third-year law student, to
represent Liberty University in the
competition.
The pair received coaching from
one of Billy Graham’s grandsons,
Basyle J. Tchividjian. Jamin said he

name to pronounce.
columnist
As it was explained to me, the
teams were given various scenarios
involving a client who had legal matters with
which to contend about with another person or
entity. The purpose of the lawyer in “mediation”
is to act in the best interest of the client. One
partner played the part of the lawyer. The other
partner played the part of the client. The “competition mission” was to “reward those participants
who used an effective combination of advocacy
skills and a problem-solving approach in the
mediation.”
Oh, how the Scripture came alive as I heard
Jamin explain about with what he had been
involved! In my heart, this lawyer and client
mediation competition posed a powerful image of
our need for Christ and what He accomplishes on
our behalf.
The Scripture says “we have an Advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.” An advocate is a lawyer, and if there is any lawyer who
truly fulﬁlls acting in the best interest of the client, it is Jesus Christ. His mission and purpose
of the Cross and Resurrection were accomplished
with our interest in mind and heart.
By contrast, we are clients of the most serious
sort because we are sinners by nature as well as
by choice. When we sin, it naturally puts us at
odds with the holy demands of God that calls for
justice and judgment. But, standing between God
and us is Jesus Christ, who stands as the means
through whom God is willing to show us mercy
and forgiveness. God has lovingly willed it to be
this way so that he could be both just and justiﬁer.
As clients of the most serious sort, our Advocate, according to Scripture, “sits at God’s right
hand, making intercession for us.” By being in
such close proximity to the Father, the Lord is in
position to act quickly in our spiritual interest,
and to perform perfectly for our best interest.
This mediation is oh, most certainly, inspirational
to those who realize their deep need and appreciation for Him.
Our contribution to His mediation that contributes to the solving of our spiritual concerns
involves trust in Him. Prayer is instrumental.
Faithfulness is requisite. Praise helps. Confession
and repentance are necessary when it is needed.
Furthermore, as clients, we need the Lord’s
mediation concerning the opposition and oppression of the devil. According to Scripture, the devil
spends a lot of time making accusations about us
to the Father. If the devil had his way, he would
have the Father turn against us. If the devil had
his way, he would have the Father consent to
destroying us, for the devil certain “seeks whom
he may devour.”
As in the case of Peter, the devil would “sift” us
to the point of hopeless and ineffective living.
But, our divine lawyer serves in our best interest to keep any of those things from happening to
us. As clients, we need His mediation.
In the mean time, Jamin and Jared ﬁnished second in the competition. They lost in the ﬁnals to
the team from the Ohio State school of law.
Jared Blake is a good-looking young man from
Hughson, California. Jamin was very complimentary of Jared’s performance, saying that Jared
projected a distinct professional demeanor and a
peaceful opposition throughout the entire competition. Jared plans to practice law in New York.
As for Jamin, he is planning on marrying that
maiden from Martinsburg, Morgan, this summer,
about which I have been asked to provide mediation. Then, take her with him to complete his
ﬁnal year of law training at Liberty. I advocate
both actions.
Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and ministers in the local
area.

It’s always somewhat
easier to do the right
thing when everyone
around you is likewise
doing the right thing.
Courage is easier to ﬁnd
when you have friends
to the left and the right
standing ﬁrm beside
you. Faith is more readily
found when everyone is in
agreement with you as to
what should be believed.
It’s a bit more difﬁcult
when one is standing all
alone, in opposition to
everyone else. Faith is
harder to maintain when
everyone is telling you
that what you believe
is wrong. Courage is
harder to ﬁnd when you
are friendless, and surrounded by those that are
hostile. Doing the right
thing becomes harder
when everyone around
you is pressuring you to
join them in doing the
wrong thing.
We recognize this phenomena, and label it with
terms such as peer pressure, the effects of which
can be either positive or
negative, depending on
what your peers are pressuring you to do.
When it comes to serving God, the numbers are
always going to be against
those that want to do the
right thing. “We know
that we are from God,
and the whole world lies
in the power of the evil
one.” (1 John 5:19; ESV)

Steps of faith create a walk of obedience
If we’re stepping without the need for faith,
we’re walking outside the
will of God.
In a nutshell, that’s my
message. But wait, there’s
more!
About a month ago, I
purchased my ﬁrst car.
A deal was made, the
paperwork was signed,
and it ofﬁcially became
mine. I was so excited!
After all, I’d been looking
forward to this moment
ever since I ﬁrst obtained
my driver’s license nearly
two years prior. Much to
my disappointment, my
prized possession needed
some minor repairs.
Therefore, I had to wait a
couple of days before taking the car home.
But a couple of days
went by, and my car still
needed work. I was disappointed. I wanted to gain
possession of the car I’d
just purchased. “Maybe,”
I thought, “I’ll get it
tomorrow.”
Tomorrow came, and
my car still wasn’t ready
to take home. Needless
to say, I was even more
disappointed. Turns out,
the car wasn’t ready for
another four days! On
a snowy Saturday afternoon—one week after
my purchase—I ﬁnally
gained possession of my
Chevy.
You see, there was a
gap between the purchase

and the possession.
So Sarai said

“…But she [Sarai]

nations will be among
her descendants’” (Gen.
17:15-16 NLT).
The promised son was
named Isaac. And yes,
Jesus Christ—the Son of
God—later came through
the lineage of Isaac.
Maybe you, like Abraham and Sarah, are
wondering when God
will come through on His
promise. Maybe the car
has been purchased—the
promise made—but it’s
still not in your possession. Whatever you do,
don’t rush it. Don’t take
the situation into your
own hands.
“And I am certain that
God, who began the good
work within you, will
continue his work until it
is ﬁnally ﬁnished on the
day when Christ Jesus
returns” (Phil. 1:6 NLT).
In the meantime, follow God’s lead. The Bible
reads, “For we walk by
faith, not by sight” (2
Cor. 5:7 KJV).
Life is a journey. “And
it is impossible to please
God without faith….”
(Heb. 11:6 NLT).
If we’re stepping without the need for faith,
we’re walking outside the
will of God.

Bylaws and Regulations for the Management and Protection
of the Water and
Waste Water Facilities of the Village of
Pomeroy Ohio and
Amending the Village

Anderson said
deliberations are still
being done regarding
the Salisbury Township ﬁre protection

Anderson informed
the council a rental
agreement has been
made for a three year
contract to be active
April 1 with Dave
Hysell regarding the
car lot on Butternut.
He said Hysell will
be charged $350 per

to take the breakfast
with them into the classroom.
Ann Ohlinger, high
school teacher and
Southern Local Education Association President, explained that the
students are more likely
to eat breakfast with
a small group of their
peers versus in a large
group setting in the gym.
Supt. Tony Deem,
Board of Education President Denny Evans and
Ohlinger emphasized the
importance of students
going to class and not
being hungry.
Evans noted the importance of feeding students
healthy meals at school
as some may go without
food on evenings and
weekends when they are
not at school.
The breakfast menu
allows the students to
choose options, including mini pancakes, sausage biscuits, yogurt and
juices, among others.
Pre-K-6th grade Principal Tricia McNickle
said that the breakfast in
the classrooms has been
going well, allowing for
students who may arrive
late to still eat breakfast
with their classmates, as
well as not missing out
on instruction time.
Southern was selected
for the grant based on
the number of students
that qualify for free or
reduced priced meals,
average daily participation in the school breakfast program, and district
and school-level support.
Southern currently offers
free Breakfast to all students, but launched the
campaign in the Kindergarten and Pre-School
on March 7. Other grade
levels will be implemented in the fall. Next
year, Southern will see

C-USA tourney
games on 2 courts
simultaneously
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Conference USA is playing tournament
games two at a time, on opposite
sides of a huge black curtain in the
facility where the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys practice.
This is a unique Texas two-step.
C-USA is believed to be the ﬁrst
NCAA league ever to play such
games simultaneously in the same
building.
“We’re kind of the guinea pig. I
don’t know if anyone else will try it
or not,” C-USA commissioner Judy
MacLeod said. “We’re in a position
where we can try some things and
take some risks and see what we can
build.”
The dual-court setup is being
used for the ﬁrst two rounds of the
league’s men’s and women’s tournaments. Four teams, four pep bands
and plenty of overlapping action on
two courts.
Blair Reed, a Frisco resident who
had never been inside the Ford Center that his tax dollars help build,
had a 50-yard line seat Wednesday
night. With no speciﬁc rooting interest, he sat in a permanent sideline
seat directly in line with the curtain
that split the building in half, where
he could see both courts.
“It is sensory overload in a way,
but if you’re a student of the game,
and you know when to change your
focus — free throws, you can look
here,” Reed said, pointing from
Court A on his left to Court B to
the right. “Fast break, you want
to stay with it. Timeouts, you can
change your focus again. That’s how
I’m doing it right now. I’m enjoying
every minute of it.”
A $20 general admission ticket
was good for the permanent seats,
while $35 general admission got
fans closer to their teams in temporary stands for about 3,500 people
around each of the courts. Fans
could go back and forth between
courts.
The C-USA tournaments are the
ﬁrst major collegiate events in the
facility about 30 minutes north of
downtown Dallas, and already are
set to return next year.
The Ford Center is part of The
Star, a 91-acre complex worth more
than $1 billion where the Cowboys
have their headquarters. The city of
Frisco and the high schools from the
Frisco Independent School District
also share the building.
“Initially, we were just touring the
facility and it’s such a great facility
with the plaza out front, and the
hotels and restaurants. We were
like, what we can do here,” said
MacLeod, whose idea for dual courts
grew on Cowboys ofﬁcials. “I think
they like to be able to show the ﬂexibility of the arena and the surrounding facilities.”
After four women’s games on the
two courts during the day Wednesday, the men did the same that
night. That gets repeated Thursday
when the top four seeds on each side
play Wednesday’s winners.
All of the semiﬁnal games Friday
and both championship games Saturday, with NCAA Tournament berths
on the line, will be played on the
same court.

10, at Gallia Academy High School in Centenary, Ohio.

Point Pleasant comes away with half the selections
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
The ﬁeld is starting to catch
up.
Point Pleasant came away
with half of the divisional
selections, but top honors
ultimately went to the Buckeye State side of the river
during the selection of the
second annual Ohio Valley
Publishing 14 wrestling
team — as voted on by the
three full-time sports reporters from the Gallipolis Daily
Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and The Daily Sentinel.
The second-ever tricounty area all-star team
was chosen under the pretense of selecting the top
wrestler from Gallia, Meigs
and Mason counties in each
of the 14 weight classes.
A Coach of the Year and a
Most Outstanding Wrestler
were also chosen as part of
the local postseason honors.
The Big Blacks — who
sent 13 grapplers to state
and ﬁnished tied for fourth
as a team during the Class
AA-A tournament — led the
local programs with seven
choices. PPHS also led last
year’s inaugural squad with
nine total selections.
Wahama was next with
three selections, while Gallia
Academy, River Valley and
Eastern each came away

Third-year Eastern mentor Josh Mummey was a
unanimous choice for Coach
of the Year honors after a
season in which the Eagles
literally rose from the ashes.
A ﬁre at the beginning of
the year completed wiped
out a large portion of Eastern’s wrestling equipment
and uniforms, which led to
borrowing old singlets from
Belpre just to get through
most of the regular season.
By year’s end, when Eastern’s new apparel showed
up, the Green and White
had another breakthrough
by sending the program’s
ﬁrst two qualiﬁers to the
district level. Senior Gavin
Erwin — who did not make
OVP 14 team — also scored
the Eagles’ ﬁrst-ever district
victory.
In just their third year as
a varsity sport, Mummey
managed to not only keep
a growing program aﬂoat

through adversity — but
also managed to advance the
Eagles to another level.
And speaking of ﬁrsts, this
year’s OVP 14 team actually features 15 grapplers
because of a tie between two
competitors at 113 pounds.
Because their resumés
were too identical to differentiate between, both Kyle
Greenlee of Gallia Academy
and Jacob Edwards of River
Valley shared the 113-pound
honors — as well as also
sharing in the area’s Most
Outstanding Wrestler award.
Greenlee — a senior —
repeated as champion at
both the OVC and sectional
levels, and also qualiﬁed for
his third consecutive district tournament. Greenlee
went 45-5 during his ﬁnal
prep season and ﬁnished his
career with over 150 victories.
Edwards — a junior —
also repeated as champion at
both the TVC and sectional
levels while also qualifying
for his third consecutive district tournament. Edwards
ﬁnished the year with a 44-8
mark and was ﬁfth at the
Division III district tournament held at Troy High
School.
Both Greenlee and
Edwards are two of the 13
ﬁrst-time selections on the
OVP 14 wrestling squad.
The lone repeat selections to the OVP 14 team
are a pair of juniors in Point
Pleasant’s George Smith and

River Valley’s Eric Weber.
Smith posted a 32-7 overall mark and won the Region
IV title while placing fourth
at state at 120 pounds.
Weber went 36-14 overall at
160 pounds and advanced to
his second straight district
tournament while also placing third at the TVC meet.
The half-dozen ﬁrst-time
selections from Point Pleasant included senior Jacob
Bryant (170), sophomores
Zac Samson (145), Juan
Marquez (195) and Jacob
Muncy (285), and freshmen
Christopher Smith (106)
and Mitchell Freeman (126).
Bryant went 28-21 overall and earned his second
consecutive state tournament berth, while Marquez
ﬁnished the year as a
Region IV runner-up with a
38-14 mark. Muncy was the
Region IV Most Outstanding Wrestler after winning
the heavyweight division
and ended the year with a
25-16 record.
Both Freeman and Christopher Smith went on to
ﬁnish third at state after
winning Region IV titles,
while Samson was a Region
IV runner-up and ended the
season with a 34-16 record.
Freeman completed the year
with a 46-9 mark, while
Smith went 35-4 overall.
Wahama landed a trio of
ﬁrst-time honorees on the
list, all of whom recorded
at least one win apiece at
the state tournament after

ﬁnishing second in their
respective divisions at the
Region IV tournament.
Senior Ethan Herdman —
who ended his career with
over 100 victories — went
38-11 overall and qualiﬁed
for his third straight state
meet at the 152 weight
class, while junior Antonio Serevicz was 34-5 and
earned his second state
appearance at 220 pounds.
Sophomore Trevor Hunt
went 34-14 for the White
Falcons at 132 pounds.
Hunt also scored points at
the state level for a second
straight postseason, the only
WHS grappler from the trio
to make that claim.
Lane ‘Boo’ Pullins was the
second Blue Devil named to
the OVP 14 list as the junior
went 37-11 and won an OVC
crown at 182 pounds. Pullins also advanced to his ﬁrst
district tournament this winter and played a large part in
GAHS three-peating as OVC
champions.
Junior Dillon Aeiker
joined Coach Mummey in
representing Eastern on the
list. Aeiker posted a 35-16
overall mark at 138 pounds
and joined Erwin as the only
Eagles to ever advance to
the district tournament.
Meigs and South Gallia
were the only programs in
the tri-county area that did
not have a representative on
the OVP 14 wrestling team.

Indians’ Kipnis swinging after rocky ’17
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) —
Jason Kipnis was warned the
day would come when his body
betrayed him.
Early in his major league
career, veterans warned Kipnis
the bruises would take longer
to heal and those late nights
would be harder to shake in the
early mornings.
That time has arrived.
“When you’re 24, the excitement, the way your body feels,
you can roll out of bed with a
Red Bull and feel great,” said
Cleveland’s steady second baseman. “Now, I need a Red Bull
to get out of bed.”
But following an injury-riddled 2017 season, Kipnis has
found another gear under the
warm Arizona sun.
An All-Star in 2013 and
2015, Kipnis homered in
each of his ﬁrst six exhibition
games, evidence the 30-yearold may be primed to produce

more this season.
“I’m not trying to hit home
runs,” Kipnis said. “If I had my
choice, I’d save them for the
regular season but you don’t
get to do that.”
Kipnis spent all last year
battling injuries, which limited
him to 90 games. He arrived at
camp with a sore right shoulder, and the lingering inﬂammation landed him on the disabled list before opening day.
He made two other extended
trips to the DL with right hamstring problems, and if his medical issues weren’t troubling
enough, the Indians moved him
from the inﬁeld to the outﬁeld
and he wound up making 11
starts in center.
But he’s moved on, and so
far Kipnis has been Cleveland’s
best camper.
“Yeah, I’m MVP, clearly,” he
joked. “It’s important alone in
the fact that it’s good to feel

good in spring training. It’s better than where I was last year
at this point. Instead of being
hurt, I’m having success. These
games, in the end, really don’t
count for anything. I know that,
but you’re not going to hear
me complain about working on
stuff and seeing success out of
it early. I just feel good.
“I’m conﬁdent and it’s showing.”
Kipnis, who was slowed by
some lower back tightness
recently, has been comforted in
knowing that he’s going to stay
at second base — for now.
The Indians signed Rajai
Davis, who was with the club
in 2016, and Melvin Upton Jr.
to add depth and competition
in the outﬁeld.
Manager Terry Francona let
Kipnis know he’s not ﬁghting
for an outﬁeld job.
“I told Kip, I don’t want to
ask him to do something that’s

unfair,” Francona said. “Let’s
do this together. Go out and be
a second baseman. If there’s a
need, that if something comes
up we’ll do this together.
Because of who he is and what
he’s accomplished and what he
can accomplish, I think it’s better if we do it together.”
Kipnis is signed through
2019, and the Indians hold an
option for 2020. Because AllStar Jose Ramirez is more of
a natural middle inﬁelder than
third baseman, there has been
talk of moving Kipnis.
He understands it’s just part
of the game.
“I’m not the ﬁrst person to
ever had trade rumors around
his name, nor the last,” he
said. “I’d be lying if I didn’t
say you’re like, ‘OK, am I not
wanted around here anymore?’
But that’s just the normal reaction every player would probably take. But once you step

years and the way last year
played out. If I’m a fantasy GM
or something like that, I could
see it too, or at least hearing
offers.”
The past year has provided
Kipnis with perspective. He’s
older, wiser and grateful.
“I’ve come to, with the last
season, a new appreciation
for the game of baseball,” he
said. “I’ve said it before: I enjoy
the process now of hitting in
the cage for hours. I enjoy the
working out and stretching,
all that stuff. It’s not stuff I
could’ve said in years past. I

would just show up and once

“But now it’s a need to enjoy

been fun for me.”

Cavaliers beat
Nuggets, 113-108
DENVER (AP) — LeBron James was knocking
down shots no matter
the angle, the degree of
difﬁculty, the distance or
the number of hands in
his face.
Closing time just brings
the best out in him. Still,
as teammate Larry Nance
Jr. aptly said of all James’
off-balanced makes: “It
was ridiculous.”
James scored 39 points,
including nine down the
stretch, and dished out
10 assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the
Denver Nuggets 113-108
on Wednesday night after
squandering a 16-point,
ﬁrst-half lead.
“I just tried to implement my imprint on the
game by just closing it
out for us,” James said.
He certainly did that.
James made one off-balanced shot after another
in the waning minutes to
turn back the Nuggets,
who didn’t take their
ﬁrst lead of the game
until 8:35 remaining on a
driving layup by Mason
Plumlee. Jeff Green gave
Cleveland the lead for
good minutes later with a
3-pointer on a play set up
by James after he tapped
a loose ball out to him.

It was that kind of
night for James. He made
a deep 3-pointer with
1:11 remaining, thumping
himself in the chest with
two ﬁsts in exuberance.
“That’s why he’s the
best in the league right
now,” said Nikola Jokic,
who had a monster game
with 36 points and 13
rebounds.
James wound up two
rebounds shy of a tripledouble to help the Cavs
kick off a six-game trip in
ﬁne fashion. No matter
what the Nuggets tried
to slow him down, nothing worked. James was in
that kind of rhythm.
“Those are shots that
as a defender you just
turn around to your coach
and go, like, ‘Sorry,’”
Nance said. “It was
incredible.”
Nance once again was
in the starting lineup
with big men Kevin Love
and Tristan Thompson
sidelined with injuries.
Nance scored 13 points
and grabbed 13 boards.
James was fueled in
part by a 126-117 home
loss to Denver last Saturday. He said in the morning shootaround: “You
always want to try to give
some giveback.”

Woods makes his Tampa Bay debut
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) —
Tiger Woods has won ﬁve PGA
Tour events that he played for the
ﬁrst time.
Two of them no longer exist
(Disney and BellSouth Classic in
Atlanta). One of them he stopped
playing 12 years ago (Tournament of Champions). He has been
ineligible for another (World Golf
Championship now in Mexico) the
last four years.
The other is Las Vegas .
The next opportunity, which is
rare in his predictable schedule,
starts Thursday at the Valspar
Championship.
That’s not to say Woods has
never competed on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook. He
played in 1996, but he had some
help. It was the old JC Penney
Mixed Team Classic. His partner
was Kelli Kuehne, another amateur
stalwart dressed up in the Nike
swoosh whose career never got
going.
What is Woods doing in the
Tampa Bay area?
He wants to get his game ready
for the Masters, and without being
eligible for the two World Golf
Championships in the spring, he
needs places to play.
Woods has captivated golf audiences more than ever during his
return from a fourth back surgery.
He tied for 23rd at Torrey Pines
(seven shots out of the lead) and
ﬁnished 12th in the Honda Classic

Tiger Woods tees off on the 10th hole at Innisbrook’s Copperhead course during the proam at the Valspar Championship on Wednesday in Palm Harbor, Fla. This is Woods’ fourth
PGA Tour event since returning from a fourth back surgery.

(eight shots behind the winner.
In between, he missed the cut at
Riviera.
“I only got two rounds in LA. I
missed the cut there,” Woods said.
“I felt really strong afterward. After
playing Honda and really feeling
good about it, I wanted to push
myself in my practice sessions,
which I did, pushed myself in the
gym a little bit. And I can handle
two weeks in a row.”
He also is playing Bay Hill next
week, meaning four tournaments
in ﬁve weeks, and then the Masters.
Innisbrook is not the typical
Florida golf course. It has eleva-

tion, such as the par-5 ﬁfth hole
where the shot is blind if players go
for the green in two. Water comes
into play on only seven holes, none
of the last two.
That’s what has attracted so
many top players over the years.
Ernie Els once considered it the
best tournament course in Florida.
Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia have
played over the years and returned
for this one. Among the newcomers is Rory McIlroy, which gave the
Valspar Championship a real shot
in the arm when he announced he
was going to play. And that was
before Woods and Jordan Spieth
signed up.

Lorenzen getting
mixed results in quest
for Reds’ rotation
GOODYEAR, Ariz.
(AP) — Michael Lorenzen is getting inconsistent results as he tries
to win the ﬁfth spot in
the Cincinnati Reds’
rotation after being
used exclusively out of
the bullpen the last two
seasons.
The right-hander has
made two solid appearances and one wild one
during spring games,
which hasn’t helped his
cause. He’s got a few
more chances to make
his case for a move back
to the rotation. The
alternative is to open
the season as a middleinning reliever.
“It’s about what
you’re going to do
about it,” Lorenzen
said. “It is about
whether you make the
most out of your own
situation.”
Lorenzen made his
major league debut in
2015 and had 21 starts
along with six relief
appearances for the
Reds. He went 4-9 with
a 5.40 ERA overall, and
Cincinnati decided to
move him to the bullpen.
His best season was
2016, when he went
2-1 with a 2.88 ERA
in 35 games. He was
used in late-inning roles
last season and was
inconsistent — a 2.93
ERA before the All-Star
break and 6.32 afterward. He ﬁnished 8-4
with a 4.45 ERA in 70
appearances.
Raisel Iglesias returns
as the closer. The Reds
signed right-handers
Jared Hughes and
David Hernandez for
set-up roles, limiting
Lorenzen’s options in

the bullpen at the outset.
He’s competing with
three others for the only
open spot in the rotation. If he doesn’t get
it, he could move back
into the bullpen.
Lorenzen pitched
two solid innings in his
ﬁrst game this spring,
but failed to last two
innings the next time
out. He gave up ﬁve
runs, ﬁve hits and two
walks while retiring
only ﬁve batters. He
couldn’t throw strikes
with any of his pitches.
“I don’t know what
it was, but I know it
wasn’t right,” Lorenzen
said.
He worked on his
delivery during his
throwing sessions the
next few days and was
better in his following
appearance, allowing
one hit and no walks in
two scoreless innings.
“First you ﬁgure out
what it is and then
every time you throw
a ball, you work on
it,” Lorenzen said. “It
comes from understanding what is that’s
causing you to be out
of sync, then getting
the habit out of you and
retraining your nervous
system to be in sync.”
Lorenzen was a center ﬁelder at Cal StateFullerton and closed
games because he could
throw hard. The Reds
drafted him in 2013
and decided to turn
him into a starter in
the minors. During his
rookie season, Lorenzen went 3-8 with a
5.92 ERA during a span
of 18 consecutive starts,
and the Reds moved
him into the bullpen.

Jerry Jones
to pay NFL
$2 million
for legal fees
DALLAS (AP) —
Jerry Jones has agreed
to pay the NFL more
than $2 million in legal
fees resulting from two
disputes the Dallas Cowboys owner had with the
league, a person with
direct knowledge of the
settlement tells The Associated Press.
The amount to be paid
was resolved Wednesday.
The person spoke on
condition of anonymity
because the NFL did not
announce details.
Commissioner Roger
Goodell held an appeal
hearing with Jones on
Monday. That came a
few days after Goodell
assessed the ﬁnancial
penalties for Jones’
lawsuit to overturn the
suspension of Cowboys
star running back Ezekiel
Elliott, and for a lawsuit
Jones threatened to stop
Goodell’s newly approved
contract.
Many owners were consulted on seeking restitution, including members
of the ﬁnance committee.
Some ﬁnance committee
members are on the compensation committee that
was at the center of what
became a legal back-andforth over Goodell’s deal.
The restitution is rooted in a 1997 resolution
that states owners can
seek repayment for legal
fees if a fellow owner is
responsible for getting
them involved in legal
action.
Jones’ attempt to derail
Goodell’s extension,
which came after Elliott
was suspended over
domestic violence allegations, led to a volley of
threatening letters from
lawyers for both sides.
