as a community service class project they
decided on together the
second week of November. The students said
CBTS started slowly,
but is gaining momentum as more people
are becoming aware of
CBTS. The students
receive a large amount
of donations from not
only students and
staff at MHS, but also
members of the community. The students
shared various local
church groups and local
businesses have been
donating to the project.
Each week the students
will receive donations

they shared, and each
week at least ﬁve to
10 students will utilize
CBTS and take items
they need.
Perrin and the students explained CBTS
would beneﬁt by having
more men’s clothing
items and toiletries
such as deodorants,
soaps, shampoos, conditioners, combs, brushes,
razors, shaving creams,
toothbrushes, and
toothpastes donated.
Perrin said the students take inventory
every day to see what
items they have plentiful in stock and which
items they are lacking.
Recently, Perrin and
her students shared
they sent around
surveys to all of the
homerooms asking the
students if they have
shopped at CBTS and
if so what items they
have taken.

New Lexington placing fourth, followed by
Southern.
“We are really proud
of our kids,” said Middle
School Principal Bill
Francis, noting that it
was good for the school
to bring home an academic honor with the two
trophies. The trophies
have been placed in the
school’s trophy case
alongside several athletic
trophies and other honors.
The top four teams
from the regional competition advance on to the
state Science Olympiad
event in April at Ohio
State University, but each
school can only send
one team to compete
explained Krista Johnson,
middle school science
teacher who organizes
the team. With Eastern
only able to send one
team, Southern will also
advance to the state competition.
Johnson and Middle
School Principal Bill
Francis explained that
rather than just sending
one of the teams to the
state event the students
are being combined into
a single team which is
being narrowed down to
15 participants and ﬁve
alternates. Students are
being selected based on
ﬁrst place ﬁnish at the
regional event, as well as
other criteria to determine the participants in
speciﬁc events. All members from both teams will
be able to attend the state
competition with the
team even if they are not
participating in a speciﬁc
event.
“Science Olympiad is
awesome,” said Bryce
Newland of the event.
“We got to build and
compete,” added Newland
as he prepared to send his
“Battery Buggy” across
the gym ﬂoor.
“Science Olympiad is
a great learning experi-

ence for something we
are typically not exposed
to,” said Emma Epling.
Epling added that the
students have learned a
lot though the program
and competition, crediting their teacher for her
help in making the students successful.
“The satisfaction of
going to state. There is
something very awesome
about that,” said Newland.
Events are science
based, and include lab
activities, building projects and test questions on
a range of topics.
Taking ﬁrst place in
their respective events
were the following:
Battery Buggy — Bryce
Newland and Riley
Pierce;
Disease Detectives —
Baylee Haggy and Emma
Epling;
Ecology — Savannah
Barnes and Lilly Suttle;

THEIR VIEW

I usually hate Pi Day, but not this year
I am a mathematician,
and I hate Pi Day.
Hate is not quite
right. In the words of
T-Rex from Ryan North’s
superb Dinosaur Comics,
“I feel a profound disconnect with this holiday!”
I came to math relatively
late in my educational
career, and I was attracted to the creativity of
mathematical proofs, not
to numbers or computations.
Pi Day bothers me
not just because it celebrates the ratio of a
circle’s circumference
to its diameter, or the
number 3.14159 … It’s
also about the misplaced
focus. What do we see
on Pi Day? Circles, the
Greek letter p, and digits. Oh, the digits! Scads
of them! The digits of p
are endemic in math gear
in general, but of course
they make a special
showing on Pi Day. You

THEIR VIEW

Sunshine Week: Government records belong to public
This editorial was recently written
for The Seattle Times.

“The people of this
state do not yield their
sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The
people, in delegating
authority, do not give
their public servants the
right to decide what is
good for the people to
know and what is not
good for them to know.
The people insist on
remaining informed so
that they may maintain
control over the instruments that they have
created.”
— preamble to
Washington’s Public
Records Act.

Washingtonians just
sent a strong message
to the governor and
members of the Legislature that they feel as
strongly about the values
embedded in the state
Public Records Act as
did state voters when
they approved the act by
initiative in 1972.
Three weeks ago, the
Legislature acted to
exempt itself from the
act, which would have
codiﬁed their wrongheaded practice and
disregarded a judge’s
order. Constituents
ﬂooded their ofﬁces with
criticism. And Gov. Jay
Inslee’s ofﬁce received

more than 20,000 calls
and emails, almost all
asking for him to veto
the bill.
The governor did just
that, and the chastened
lawmakers agreed to
review the matter in
a more open process,
including members of the
public and the media.
The feisty public backlash is a ﬁtting contribution to Sunshine Week,
which runs through
Saturday. Promoted by
the American Society of
Newspaper Editors and
the Reporters Committee
for Freedom of the Press,
Sunshine Week is a celebration of the public’s
right to know.
Gerry and Kathy
Kingen of West Seattle
used public records to
prove that the city of
SeaTac acted to sink the
couple’s plans to build a
park-and-ﬂy lot because
it would compete with
the city’s plan to do the
same. After the city lost
in court, the SeaTac City
Council in November
agreed to pay $4.25
million of a $13 million
settlement agreement.
Just last month, a
Seattle Times story on
former Mayor Ed Murray’s generous pension
was written and reported
by Lewis Kamb, with

the help of city and state
records. Kamb found
the Seattle mayor who
resigned in September
among child sexual-abuse
allegations is drawing
both a state and a city
pension that will pay him
$115,920 a year, more
than he made in 18 of
his 21 years as an elected
ofﬁcial. The Seattle
Times stories about the
abuse claims against
the mayor by Kamb and
reporter Jim Brunner
also largely relied on public records.
Seismic Neglect, the
ongoing Times watchdog
series by reporters Sandi
Doughton and Daniel
Gilbert on every scary
aspect of the region’s
lack of earthquake preparedness could not have
been written and vividly
illustrated without public
records. For example,
they discovered elected
state ofﬁcials over the
past three decades have
repeatedly directed
seismic-safety experts to
create reports on earthquake dangers and for 30
years those reports have
been ignored.
In 2016, public records
were key to revelations
about lead in drinking
water at schools across
Washington. Reports
by The News Tribune

of Tacoma, The Seattle
Times and The Associated Press showed that few
school districts regularly
tested for lead in drinking water, raising public
ire. Eventually that led
to more districts testing
and state government
looking for new ways to
pay for those tests.
Over the years, journalists have used public records to expose
predators of children.
The Times’ 2003 series,
Coaches who Prey, used
public records to track
coaches who were ﬁred
or reprimanded for misconduct and moved to
new districts. A 2007
AP investigation found
125 teachers lost their
teacher’s licenses or had
their licenses suspended
between 2001 and 2005
for sexual misconduct.
These are only a few
examples of how elected
ofﬁcials can be held
accountable through
crucial access to public
records. It is a Washington state value that is as
important today as it was
46 years ago.
As the Public Records
Act reads, “The people
insist on remaining
informed so that they
may maintain control
over the instruments that
they have created.”

Marshall, Wichita
State meet 48 years
after plane crashes
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Dan D’Antoni
was a 23-year-old assistant with the Marshall basketball program in 1970, and a babysitter, too. He
was at the home of a friend and team physician for
the Thundering Herd when a plane carrying members of the Wichita State football team crashed in
Colorado.
As they watched the news unfold, and learned
of the 31 lives lost, Dr. Ray Hagley turned to
D’Antoni and said: “You really don’t know how
tragic this is going to be unless you live there.”
Six weeks later, D’Antoni was watching some
of Hagley’s six children when television and radio
broadcasts were interrupted for a report that the
plane carrying the Marshall football team had
crashed near campus, killing all 75 aboard. Among
them were Hagley and his wife. Their children
were suddenly orphans.
D’Antoni eventually left Marshall, and an athletic department ripped apart by pain and loss, only
to return in 2014 to lead the Thundering Herd.
As fate would have it, the program’s ﬁrst trip to
the NCAA Tournament in 31 years means a game
against Wichita State on Friday in San Diego.
“We certainly experienced the same type of
tragedy,” D’Antoni recalled this week.
The meaning of the schools’ ﬁrst matchup in
men’s basketball (they never played in football) is
hardly lost on supports and alumni of two schools
forever linked by tragedy. The bracket release
on Sunday brought back reminders of the bonds
forged by them in the days and weeks after the
crashes, their struggles to rebuild and the awful
memories that will never go away.
“To be 18 years old and to be part of two human
tragedies was a heavy burden,” said John Potts, a
kicker on the 1970 Shockers team who, like other
freshmen, was ineligible to play at the time.
That meant he was home in Wichita when one
of the school’s two planes went down.
“Once we were made aware of the Marshall
plane going down,” Potts said, “we were all
stunned, and it was hard to believe it was happening all over again. We were just a few weeks
removed from laying all of our teammates, coaches, staff, faculty members and supporters to rest.”
The crashes were separated by a mere 43 days
and 1,300 miles.
It was a clear Oct. 2 when the two planes carrying Wichita State’s team took off from Denver,
headed for a game at Utah State. The plane nicknamed “Black” took the planned route north and
arrived safely, while the “Gold” plane carrying
the starters, university ofﬁcials and boosters took
a detour that the pilots thought would give their
passengers a more scenic view.
The plane was unable to pull out of a canyon
west of Denver , near tiny Silver Plume. It crashed
into a hillside, killing 14 starters and more than a
dozen others.
“The events on that mountainside left an indelible mark on all of us,” said Bud Moore, whose
brother, Bill, was a tight end killed in the crash.
“The disbelief and totally lost feeling we all experienced was and still is a hurdle you never quite
clear. You attempt it over and over again but you
always seem to fall just a little short. We all struggled to ﬁnd any kind of explanation.
“Then the next day — 43 days after our horrible
accident — it happened again.”
It was a rainy, foggy Nov. 14 night when Marshall’s chartered jet, returning from a game against

East Carolina, went down
short of the Tri-State
Airport runway. The
plane burst into ﬂames,
leaving a charred swath
of trees in what remains
the deadliest crash involving a sports team in U.S.
history.
Both schools lost their
athletic directors, head
coaches and so many
bright futures.
“Those very challenging days 48 years ago ring
clearly in both our universities every day,” Moore
said. “For me, it was a
time of total confusion,
looking for an answer was
next to impossible.”
Jim Rhatigan was
watching television in his
Wichita home when the
school’s dean of students
saw a news ﬂash about
the Marshall crash. He
tracked down his counterpart at the school,
Constantine Curris, and
offered his insight on how
his own school had dealt
with the crash.
They discussed grief
counseling and support
services. They talked
about a memorial that
was being planned at
Wichita State, and one
that Curris would eventually plan at Marshall.
“I knew some things
we had done very well
in connection with our
crash, and some things
we’d done not so well,
having had no practice
or experience with this,”
Rhatigan said. “I was able
to help him a great deal.
We never did meet in the
real sense, but I feel like
we were connected for
life.”

bonded forever.
“The very fact that he
reached out, and was
someone who had experienced what we were
experiencing, gave us
a lot of comfort as we
thought about what we
needed to do or what
we could do given the
extraordinary grief that
swallowed the campus
and the community,”
said Curris, who went
on to become the president at Murray State,
Northern Iowa and
Clemson.
Marshall assistant
coach Red Dawson, one
of the ﬁgures in the Hollywood ﬁlm “We Are Marshall” detailing the crash,
had driven to the East
Carolina game because
of a recruiting trip. He
was heading home when
he learned that the Thundering Herd’s plane had
crashed.
The following offseason, Dawson went to a
national coaching convention. He recalled talking
at length with some of
his counterparts at Wichita State, and how they
leaned on each other for
support.
“They couldn’t have
been nicer,” said Dawson, who remained with
Marshall for another year
before the pain and guilt
drove him from the game.
“It’s taken me a long time
to get somewhere thinking about it as history
rather than reality.”
D’Antoni had to leave
town, too, after helping
his family ﬁnd a new
home for the Hagley
children. The crash and
its aftermath “didn’t wear
well,” he said, recalling
his many lost friends.
He would spend three
decades coaching high

his younger brother,
veteran NBA coach Mike
D’Antoni, on the bench
as an assistant for nine
seasons.
D’Antoni took his ﬁrst
college head coaching
job four years ago, at the
age of 66, summoned
back to Huntington by a
school that left him with
so many mixed emotions.
And while they no doubt
presented a challenge, so
did the job he inherited,
taking over a program
that had gone through
seven coaches since last
making the NCAA Tournament in 1987.
One of the assistant
coaches during the intervening years happened to
be current Wichita State
coach Gregg Marshall,

— to the Thundering
Herd’s game against the

RedStorm softball duo honored by RSC
By Randy Payton

For Ohio Valley Publishing

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — University
of Rio Grande softball standouts Kelsey
Conkey and Mallory Powell have been
named the River States Conference
Pitcher of the Week and Player of the
Week, respectively, for the week of
March 5-11.
League ofﬁcials made the announcement Monday night.
Conkey, a junior from Minford, Ohio,

pitched 15.0 innings across three games
and came out of it with a 0.00 ERA on
the week. The highlight was a no-hitter
versus No. 13 Ottawa (Kan.) in a 2-0
victory. She struck out seven, walked
one and gave up no runs and no hits in
7.0 innings.
An earlier start on the week had a
complete-game victory over Calumet
(Ind.), which included six hits, nine
strikeouts and one walk. The only run
she gave up was unearned. She began
the week with a one-inning save in a 7-4

victory over Bryan (Tenn.).
Powell, a ﬁrst baseman/pitcher from
Flatwoods, Ky., was 12-for-25 in seven
games. She pounded out four doubles, a
triple, a home run and drove in 10 runs
as the RedStorm went 5-2.
Powell also slugged .840 and had a
pair of four-hit games. She capped off
her week going 4-for-4 with two doubles, a homer and ﬁve RBIs in a 12-2
win over No. 14 Reinhardt (Ga.). She
was also 4-for-4 with a double, triple
and three RBIs in an 11-1 victory over

Smith out as Memphis hoops coach
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) —
Tubby Smith has been ﬁred as
Memphis men’s basketball coach
after two seasons amid dropping
attendance and donations to the
athletic department.
Smith told reporters he was no
longer coach as he left a meeting
Wednesday with Memphis President M. David Rudd and athletic
director Tom Bowen.
Memphis issued a statement
saying only that an agreement of
“separation” had been reached in
the “best ﬁnancial interest” of the
university with details still to be
ﬁnalized.
Smith went 40-26 at Memphis,
including 21-13 this season. The
Tigers won seven of their ﬁnal
nine games before losing Saturday
70-60 to No. 8 Cincinnati in the
American Athletic Conference
Tournament semiﬁnals, their
third loss to the AAC champs this
season.

EMPLOYMENT
Help Wanted General

He came to Memphis in April
2016 as one of only two coaches
to lead ﬁve different schools to
the NCAA Tournament. Now
66, Smith leaves without taking
Memphis to any postseason tournament in his two seasons. Smith
is 597-302 with a national title
with Kentucky in 1998. He also
has worked at Tulsa, Georgia and
Minnesota during a head coaching career that began in 1991.
When Josh Pastner left for
Georgia Tech, Memphis hired
Smith away from Texas Tech in
April 2016 with hopes of switching to the Big 12 and gave him a
ﬁve-year contract for $15.45 million that paid him $2.9 million for
this season with $3.25 million due
each of the next three seasons.
His son, Saul, had been one of
three assistant coaches on staff at
Memphis.
Smith went 19-13 in his ﬁrst
season and followed that with a

Thomas retires from Browns after 11 seasons
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Nothing could keep Joe
Thomas off the ﬁeld.
The Browns’ sturdy
left tackle never missed a
game and never missed a
single snap before a freak
injury ended his 2017
season. And, sadly, his
career.
The face of Cleveland’s
franchise for more than
a decade, and one of the
best offensive linemen
in NFL history, Thomas
retired Wednesday after
11 seasons, ending a run
exempliﬁed by durability,
dependability and dominance.
A 10-time Pro Bowler,
Thomas ended months of
self-reﬂection and speculation with a bow.
“This was an extremely
difﬁcult decision, but the
right one for me and my
family,” said Thomas, the
No. 3 overall pick in the
2007 draft. “Playing in
the NFL has taken a toll
on my body and I can no
longer physically compete
at the level I need to.”
Few players have ever
reached his level.

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas has not informed
Cleveland of his plans as the team prepares to sign free agents.
Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowler, suffered a season-ending injury
in 2017 and is still recovering from surgery to repair his torn left
triceps as he considers whether to continue his playing career.

I was drafted, the city
embraced me in a way
that I could never fully
describe,” Thomas said.
“I am proud to call Cleveland home. The loyalty
and passion of Browns

set to always be available, put the team above
yourself and always give
maximum effort.
The Haslams said
Thomas’ playing streak
— the number 10,363
— will be added to the
team’s ring of honor at
FirstEnergy Stadium this
season.
Thomas is one of just
ﬁve players selected to
the Pro Bowl in each of
his ﬁrst 10 seasons, and
the other four — Barry
Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Mel Renfro and Merlin Olsen — are Hall of
Famers.
Easily the best player of
Cleveland’s expansion era
since 1999, he’s on the
short list of the top players in the Browns’ storied
history, a group that
includes Jim Brown, Otto
Graham, Ozzie Newsome
and Lou Groza.
But for all his personal
accomplishments and success, Thomas never got
to play in the postseason.
That wasn’t his fault.
The Browns have
been in a perpetual cycle
of chaos almost since
Thomas was drafted on
a day he chose to spend

fans is unmatched and it
was an honor to play in
front of them from the
past 11 years. I would
like to thank all of the
coaches, teammates, staff,
fans and everyone who
has shown me support
throughout my career.
“Even though I will be
hanging up my cleats, I
will always be a Cleveland
Brown.”
The loss of Thomas,
who would have received
a $3 million roster bonus
on Sunday and had a
$10.3 million salary for
2018, leaves a huge hole
for the Browns on and
off the ﬁeld. Thomas was
more than just an excellent player. Jovial with a
Midwestern charm, he
personiﬁed this blue-collar city: loyal, hardworking, reliable.
“Joe has been a pillar of
our organization and one
of the greatest to put on
a Cleveland Browns uniform,” said owners Dee
and Jimmy Haslam. “We
want to thank him for
everything he has done
for the Browns and the
Northeast Ohio community. We should all strive
for the standard Joe has

ﬁshing with his dad on
Lake Michigan rather
than being with the other
college stars at Radio
City Music Hall in New
York.
Thomas played for
six coaches, at least that
many offensive coordinators, and protected 20
quarterbacks during his
11 seasons. When he
was featured in an ESPN
documentary last year,
Thomas incredibly named
all the QBs he played
with, a list that started
with Derek Anderson and
ﬁnished with DeShone
Kizer.
Cleveland won 10
games in his rookie
season but missed the
playoffs, and never won
more than seven games in
any of his other seasons.
In all, the Browns went
48-128 during his career.
But despite year after
year of losing, Thomas
never wavered in his commitment to the Browns or
Cleveland. He’s the only
player to earn the team’s
Walter Payton Man of the
Year distinction several
times and Thomas was
active with several area
charity groups.

Radford downs LIU Brooklyn for tourney win
DAYTON, Ohio
(AP) — Carlik Jones
had a substantial and
loud cheering section
at University of Dayton
Arena, a lot of folks
traveling about an hour
up Interstate 75 from his
Cincinnati hometown to
see him play for Radford
in a First Four game.
Jones didn’t disappoint them. The redshirt
freshman guard was the
engine that drove the
Highlanders, scoring
12 points to go with
career highs in rebounds
with 11 and assists with
seven as Radford beat
LIU Brooklyn 71-61 on
Tuesday night to get its
ﬁrst-ever NCAA Tournament win.
“It’s just big to be able
to come back home and
perform in front of my
family and friends that
haven’t been able to see
me play,” Jones said.
“And it’s just been a
good feeling.”
Radford didn’t play
its prettiest game, but
the team from rural
southwest Virginia will
celebrate brieﬂy before
heading to Pittsburgh
to play No. 1 seed Villanova on Thursday. The
Big South champion
Highlanders are making
their third tournament
appearance and ﬁrst
since 2009.
Ed Polite Jr. had 13
points and 12 rebounds,
and Travis Fields Jr. also
scored 13 for Radford.

LIU Brooklyn’s Joel Hernandez (0) drives against Radford’s Donald Hicks (5) during the first half
of a First Four game of the NCAA tournament Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio. Radford won 71-61.

Despite hitting just
7 of 23 shots from the
ﬂoor in the second half,
LIU Brooklyn managed
to stay within striking
distance, even taking the
lead brieﬂy early in the
second half. The Northeast Conference champion Blackbirds got to
within a point with ﬁve
minutes left, but a 9-1
surge by the Highlanders opened up the lead.
“We remained calm,”
Polite said. “Basketball
is about a game of runs.
So we knew they’re a
good team, so they’re
going to make shots. So
we just had to remain
focused and go with the
game plan. And that’s
to pressure them even
though they’re a fast-

paced team and don’t
give them any easy baskets.”
The Blackbirds went
without a ﬁeld goal in
the last seven minutes of
the game and shot 30.4
percent in the second
half. Each team committed 15 turnovers.
“I thought (Radford)
did a nice job grinding
it out on the offensive
end of the ﬂoor and taking time off the clock to
where we couldn’t get
moving.” LIU Brooklyn
coach Derek Kellogg
said.
Jashaun Agosto scored
16 points and Raiquan
Clark added 14 for LIU
Brooklyn, which is winless in seven trips to the
tournament.

Radford led 30-28 at
the end of a sloppy ﬁrst
half after leading by
as many as nine. The
Blackbirds scored 11
of their points on nine
turnovers by Radford
but were just 3 for 13
from beyond the 3-point
line in the half.
Big picture
LIU Brooklyn: Got hot
in the NEC Tournament
but couldn’t sustain it on
the big stage, shooting
just 38 percent compared to 47.5 percent for
Radford.
Radford: At times
the Highlanders looked
like they didn’t want it,
either, but they played
better in the second half
on the back of Jones.
