Kaleb said he grew up in Bidwell. His father works in the electricity and power transfer industry and his mother is a teacher. “I went to school at Cedarville (University),” said Kaleb. “My wife and I, she was a Spanish teacher and had studied internationally as well (as Kaleb). When we first met, we were interested in doing long-term international development work. That’s part of the reason we met and what drew us together. I had visited Haiti a couple of times and helped out post-Katrina and things like that. I was an EMT on the side, while I was in school, and had done more disaster relief things. But we were more interested in long-term development efforts.” Stacey and Kaleb met at Cedarville University and married in 2009 before moving to Honduras and have been living in a coffee-producing town See HONDURAS | 8A Meigs County residents receive prison sentences Arrest warrant issued for failure to appear Staff Report POMEROY — Two Meigs County residents were sentenced to prison during hearings this week in Meigs County Common Pleas Court.

Mid-Valley Christian hosts graduation By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MIDDLEPORT — “Let your smile change the world; never let the world change your smile.” Those were the words of graduate Abi Puariea, quoting her grandfather, on Friday evening as the Class of 2018 received their diplomas at MidValley Christian School. Puariea, McKensie Boso and Tyler Peyton received the diplomas as part of the ceremony. Boso, who has attended the school her entire academic career, graduated with honors, having maintained a 4.0 GPA for her high school years. Administrator Jennifer McKinney, who graduated from the school 20 years ago, addressed the graduates, giving each advice as they enter the next phase of their lives. “Follow the path that God has laid for you,” McKinney told the graduates, noting that 20 years will go by fast. “Each one of you has a purpose.” In her speech, Boso thanked the teachers, principal, and her parents for each of their roles in helping her reach her high school graduation. “We have all learned a lot from being here,” said Boso. “It’s been a long tough 12 years,” said Peyton, CLASS OF 2018 SCRIPTURE For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. — Jeremiah 29:11 thanking his family for their support along the way. Peyton recalled challenging his mom with his spelling words for homework and expressed gratitude to his father for the financial support which showed that “a quality education would benefit for my entire life.” Turning to the teachers, Peyton noted that they had taught the students everything from “2+2 to algebra.” “I am truly sorry for the extra gray hairs I gave you,” he told the teachers. To the student coming behind the Class of 2018, Peyton said, “Enjoy and learn as much as possible.” “Class of 2018, we rock,” concluded Peyton.

She was born October 20, 1934 in Gallipolis, to the late Edward Arthur and Margaret Alberta Stark. She was married to the late William James Woods and was preceded in death by her son Kyle Stark Woods and graddaughter, Kylie Woods. Mila was a 1952 graduate of Pomeroy High School and a 1957 graduate of Ohio University. She was a teacher at Addaville Elementary for over 30 years, a profession she loved and a place she formed lifelong friendships with those she so lovingly called “the teachers”. Mila loved life, her animals, friends, family, food and shopping. She was an avid reader, movie watcher, and a connoisseur of peanut butter eggs. Mila is survived by; her son Christopher (Beth) Woods; daughter Heather (Don) Shaffer; granddaughter/daughter Christian Woods (whom she raised), grandchildren Corey, Alison, Blake Woods and Olivia Davis; and four greatgrandchildren, Landen, Brayden, Issac and Eli; her sister Dorothy (Paul) Amberger, their daughters Meg Guinther and Janie abdella; her brother Edward (Sharon) Stark, their daughter Brandy Stark; and four furry companions. All of whom she loved deeply. Any attempt to convey how much Mila was loved and how badly she will be missed is futile. She meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people. She was an advocate for the underdog, independent, honest, and opinionated, but equally as compassionate, fiercely loyal, and loving to everyone close to her. A memorial service will be held at Grace Episcopal Church in Pomeroy Ohio, (where she was a lifelong member) on May 27th at noon, in lieu of flowers please make donations to the Meigs County Animal Shelter. Services are under the direction of the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy. DEATH NOTICES STERRETT MAITLAND, FL. — Judith Anne (Jeffries) Sterrett, 79, of Maitland, FL died on April 24, 2018.

Sunday Times-Sentinel Courtesy Students in the AFNR class spent the term working on a scale model of a ranch style house. The students had to learn the terminology of the components then cut all of the pieces to fit using miniature tools and blueprints. The house has all of the components of a full size home on a scale of 1 inch equals 1 foot. The class estimates they had about 200 man hours invested in the project. Pictured are Shawn Ward, Ty Walters and Bladen Ebersole. The AFNR class is part of the Vocational Agriculture program at South Gallia taught by Mr. Dave Pope Annual conference to focus on rural wealth creation ATHENS — The Seventh Annual Appalachian Ohio State of the Region Conference, “Changing the Narrative: Using Rural Wealth Creation to Transform the Region,” will be held 8:30 a.m.- 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22, 2018, at Ohio University’s Baker University Center Ballroom in Athens, Ohio. Featuring an opening welcome from Tim Thomas, the Appalachian Regional Commission’s federal co-chair newly appointed by President Donald Trump, the conference will gather public officials, regional economic development practitioners, and representatives from businesses and organizations to discuss rural wealth creation in southeast Ohio. Gilbert Michaud, an assistant professor of practice at OHIO’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, said this year’s theme is of vital importance to the ongoing development of the region. “Rural wealth creation is an important and timely subject,” Michaud said. “Strategies such as hiring local labor, purchasing locally and establishing local supply chain relationships are fundamental to developing regional assets, promoting local ownership and building local wealth. Pursuing these strategies can also contribute to improved talent, higher-paying jobs and the enhanced overall well-being of individuals in Appalachian Ohio.” At the conference, nearly 20 speakers will discuss the role of creating wealth in attaining economic development, focused on local people, places and firms. Speakers will emphasize that Appalachian Ohio’s resources are not limited to its financial capital, but also include intellectual, social, cultural, natural and political capital. Consequently, regional wealth creation entails leveraging these already existing forms of regional capital in new and innovative ways. Michaud emphasized that such an approach will inevitably involve cross-sector partnerships. “Attendees will hear from renowned speakers across the region about wealth creation stories from public, private and nonprofit perspectives,” Michaud said. Conference registration and parking are free, and a light lunch will be provided. However, space is limited, so participants should register as soon as possible. The event is sponsored by the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth, the Voinovich School and OHIO’s Economic Development Administration University Center.

The release of a list of 100 best-liked novels in advance of “The Great American Read” series that launches Tuesday has generated its share of controversy — as do most things these days — but is producing a positive in our culture. That’s in renewing and maintaining interest in reading. Because those individuals who are passionate about the choices on the list submitted by authors, critics, scholars and celebrities should be just as interested in checking out other great selections both on and off the list. “The Great American Read” will last eight episodes, while voting on the single best-loved of novels will culminate with an announcement on Oct. 23. Scanning the list, readers Kevin will find that many of the choices Kelly Contributing aren’t strictly American — taking the first spot, for example, is George columnist Orwell’s dystopian future classic “1984,” first published in England in 1949. These choices, however, represent the best of great literature with which we became familiar in school and into adulthood. Not like the experience of my poor English teacher back in 11th grade, who in response to an assignment to read and and discuss a British novel, was bombarded with a Nevertheless, for couple of dozen book those folks who reports on Orwell’s “Animal Farm” (1945) enjoy a good read, following the program and “The Time and its discussion of Machine” (1895) by H.G. Wells. those works on the Why? Because they list sounds fun. And were brief and could be knocked off in a weekwith summertime beckoning (or already end — provided the class devoted even that here following our all- much time to the projtoo-brief transition ect.

Debate focuses on the need to include more reading for young adults, and while Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” (2012, 43rd) may not be wholly appropriate for that age group, the choices were the product of thoughtful consideration of which books have influenced or continue to impress readers in the new century. Why else would it contain the entire series of the “Game of Thrones” books by George R.R. Martin or “Fifty Shades of Grey” from E.L. James? Voting for the best American novel will be tricky for those readers dazzled by the sheer variety of what appears on “The Great American Read” list. That is, unless they’re totally passionate about Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With the Wind” (1936, 44th). Additionally, making a choice is difficult due to the reader’s own preference for genre fiction, such as romance, mysteries, fantasy, etc., and their willingness to try something in another category of fiction. And no doubt the final selection of America’s favorite novel will be questioned for all kinds of reasons, echoing the same protests that greeted the American Film Institute’s decision two decades ago to place Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” (1941) at the top of its list of cinema classics. Nevertheless, for those folks who enjoy a good read, following the program and its discussion of those works on the list sounds fun. And with summertime beckoning (or already here following our all-too-brief transition from winter), there’s no better time to check it all out and read some of the choices on the list. Or more importantly, just read, whether it’s this newspaper or the latest vacationat-the-beach paperback or e-book that’s trending out there. *** In the interim, I will be reading up on an American author whose star rose fast, stayed aloft for a number of years and then fell before his own passing.

Though I applaud Mr. Slone for taking the time to personally attend the meeting I felt surprised that it was at this meeting that they were just being informed of the proposed project.

Randolph Pepke Sr. is a resident of Greenfield Township THEIR VIEW Public universities paving way for Ohio’s future We asked and they responded in the ringing affirmative. Ohioans embrace their public universities. Recently, Ohio University joined the Inter-University Council of Ohio in a statewide poll, which revealed strong statewide support for Ohio’s four-year public universities, despite highly publicized concerns about the cost of a college degree. Missing from the Ohio survey results was any significant measure of the negativity directed at universities nationwide in recent years. To the contrary, Ohioans seem inclined to embrace their public universities. Through the poll, voters also affirmed that a large majority of Ohioans recognize and appreciate the high-impact, highvalue benefits of our state’s system of public universities. Informed by the poll results, Ohio University joins with its peers in a statewide communication campaign called Forward Ohio. The purpose of the campaign is to raise public awareness of the university research value of public improves our lives higher education and the world. – and especially, And we work to the many ways our keep college afforduniversities are able.

There HCV is the most common is also a vaccine available in our area. Like Hepatitis B, HCV is a bloodborne pathogen. Unlike Hepatitis B, HCV is not typically spread through sexual contact, though it may sometimes occur. The virus can sometimes be transmitted from mother to fetus, as well. The main route of infection with HCV that is seen today is through injection drug use. This happens when a person who is infected with HCV shares needles or other contaminated drug paraphernalia with those who are not infected. HCV has both an acute and chronic stage, but there are not usually symptoms associated with either stage unless cirrhosis develops later in the chronic stages of infection. Although there is not a vaccine available for HCV, there are treatments for the most common types of HCV. CDC recommends that everyone born between 1945 and 1965 be tested at least once. Baby boomers are considered to be five times more likely to have HCV than other adults. If you are worried that you may have been exposed to any of the Hepatitis viruses, contact your health care provider. As mentioned above, there are vaccines available for both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B which can help prevent the spread of disease. More information, as well as a five minute online hepatitis risk assessment, can be found at CDC.gov/hepatitis.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 20, 1899, taxi driver Jacob German was pulled over and arrested by a police officer riding a bicycle for speeding down Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue in his electric car at 12 miles an hour at a time when the speed limit was 8 mph; it was the first recorded speeding arrest in U.S. history. On this date: In 1521, Ignatius of Loyola was wounded by a cannonball while defending Pamplona against the French; during his convalescence he turned to religion, becoming a leader of the Counter-Reformation and the founder of the Jesuits. In 1712, the original version of Alexander Pope’s satirical mockheroic poem “The Rape of the Lock” was published anonymously in Lintot’s Miscellany. In 1873, Levi Strauss and tailor Jacob Davis received a U.S. patent for men’s work pants made with copper rivets. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France. In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. (Because of weather and equipment problems, Earhart set down in Northern Ireland instead of her intended destination, France.) In 1948, Chiang Kaishek was inaugurated as the first president of the Republic of China (Taiwan). In 1959, nearly 5,000 Japanese-Americans had their U.S. citizenships restored after choosing to renounce them during World War II. In 1961, a white mob attacked a busload of Freedom Riders in Montgomery, Alabama, prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order. In 1978, Japan’s Narita International Airport began operations after years of protests over its construction by local residents. In 1988, a 30-yearold woman walked into Dave Thomas is 70. Rock homes.

The old west in Gallia Creating Broken Antler Ranch By Morgan McKinniss mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest. com MERCERVILLE — What do you do when you have a love for the old west, a creative mind, and the desire to bring a bit of history to where you are? If you are Alan Stapleton, you start building an old southwest town right in your yard. Broken Antler Ranch started out as a single cabin that Stapleton had arranged and built so some friends could stay in it while they hunted deer. It fit into the old west style and from that multiple buildings and structures have been added since. “I have always liked the west, I’ve always been a horse guy, I built the taxidermy shop, and me and my buddies like to hang out. I also like to hunt so I met some guys from West Virginia bear hunting, they wanted to come hunt deer here so they let me stay at their place so I built that little log cabin for them to stay in and from that log cabin we started growing out from it,” said Stapleton. Once the log cabin was built, a saloon was made, which led to the jail, and so on. The ranch currently features the Elkhorn Saloon, post office, water towers, a sheriff’s office and jail, general store, bath house, a church, and a taxidermist’s shop among others. Stapleton himself is a local taxidermist, and his work fits in well at Broken Antler. Squirrels are posed with bows and arrows, a fox is posed with a turtle shell and a spear, and some are dressed up like Native Americans. Aside from the numerous comically BUILDING BROKEN ANTLER Once the log cabin was built, a saloon was made, which led to the jail, and so on. The ranch currently features the Elkhorn Saloon, post office, water towers, a sheriff’s office and jail, general store, bath house, a church, and a taxidermist’s shop among others. Different parts of the old west town are set on the hillside. The general store, bath house, and church are all in a row across the street from the blacksmith’s shop. “I have always liked the west, I’ve always been a horse guy, I built the taxidermy shop, and me and my buddies like to hang out.” — Alan Stapleton stuffed animals, there are several deer, foxes, a bear, and birds from a peacock to a turkey. The name ranch is not simply for the stuffed creatures found in the taxidermy shop, but for the live animals still living on the farm. Being a working farm, Stapleton has several horses and cattle that are common to the area, but he also has creatures very uncommon to Gallia County. Living on the ranch are guineas, a peacock, white tail deer, buffalo, elk, highland Scottish cattle, and a porcupine. The Ranch has hosted several groups so far, but will host an official grand opening next year as Stapleton hopes to continue to expand and refine the ranch. The ranch is located on a hillside and visitors ought to wear sturdy shoes. He has hosted the Redneck games several The town features a bank, post office, and barber shop, each filled with items from the era. times, which he hopes to expand and turn into an annual event with the ranch. “I usually have a redneck games where we have throwing knives and a recurve bow shoot, the Stihl (chainsaw) guy comes and sets his tent up, we’ll have a competition to give away some stuff, we usually have about 50 people there,” said Stapleton. “I eventually want to turn that into a spectacle once a year with the town.” Part of Stapleton’s goal includes a museum looking back to famous characters of the old west, who he has distant relationships to. A new pond was recently dug in and stocked with fish and he hopes to have cabins to rent for vacationers soon. While the ranch may never be complete, it certainly has continued to evolve.

Stapleton does taxidermy work as well, which helped start Broken Antler Ranch. His work includes the standard pose for most wildlife, but also reaches into the uncommon and the comical, like these squirrels which have taken poses and props. �Sunday Times-Sentinel LOCAL/TELEVISION GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Skilled Nursing Care Week Grant applications available Sunday, May 20, 2018 7A MEIGS COUNTY — Applications for the first edition of grants to improve the facades of buildings in downtown areas of Meigs County are available at the Meigs County Economic Development office located at 238 West Main Street, Pomeroy.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Two games rolled into one. After seven innings of play in Thursday’s Division IV softball district semifinal in Gallia County, top-seeded Eastern and fifth-seeded Lucasville Valley were tied at one and locked in a pitcher’s duel. The teams played evenly for another seven innings as a slugfest broke out, and the score was tied at five through 14 innings. The Lady Indians scored twice in the top of the 15th inning and the Lady Eagles failed to answer for the first time, giv- “Just a great effort from our kids. I think in time they’ll realize, this was a game that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, I know I will.” — Bryan Durst, ��#�=90>,+66�-9+-2 ing Valley the 7-5 victory. The Lady Indians opened the game with a triple, but the Lady Eagles (177) escaped the inning unscathed. Valley stranded runners on second base in the second and third innings, but failed to break through in either frame. After leaving a runner on first in the opening inning, Eastern began the bottom of the second with three straight hits. The next three Lady Eagles were put away in order, with back-to-back strikeouts and a flyout ended the inning. EHS broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the third, as Cera Grueser led the inning off with a single, moved to second on a wild See EAGLES | 2B Andretti tops speed chart again in Indianapolis 500 practice INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Marco Andretti could be the pole favorite for the Indianapolis 500. He’s certainly been the most consistently fast driver all week in practice. Then again, nobody’s really sure what to expect when the new IndyCars start qualifying Saturday. Andretti posted the fastest lap practice Friday, getting around the 2.5-mile oval at 231.802 mph after drivers were given a boost of roughly 50 horsepower. “I think we’re right on the bubble of the top nine,” he said. “And I think it’s going to take us to nail it to get it in. As with probably five or six other guys, we’re going to be right there with them, and I think it’s going to be all about a third and fourth lap. We’re just going to have to nail it and do everything right to get it in.” Andretti also had the fastest car Wednesday and third-fastest Thursday. Those speeds might not be reflective of just where the son of team owner Michael Andretti and the grandson of 1969 race winner Mario Andretti fits into the 33-car lineup. And because Andretti’s big numbers have all come with a tow, even he’s not sure. All week drivers have been trying to solve problems: tire wear, handling in traffic and drafting from back in the field. So far Andretti thinks he has a car that will work on race day. The question is whether it’s good enough to make Sunday’s nine-car pole shootout. Rookie Robert Wickens, of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, was No. 2 in practice with a speed of 231.732. Two-time Indy pole winner and driverowner Ed Carpenter was third at 231.066. Oriol Servia, who is back with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, was fourth at 230.247. But it was Team Penske’s Will Power, who had the fastest non-tow lap of the day at 229.780. He won last Saturday’s IndyCar Grand Prix from the pole. “I think results don’t lie, right? So they (the Penske drivers) definitely did a very good job today,” Wickens said. “I think they’re top 3 no-tows, but there’s some Hondas in there, there’s the Carpenter team that is good with all three of its drivers. Tony Kanaan jumped in there at the end when the track actually wasn’t that good in my opinion. So honestly, I think Tony could be a sleeper.” Danica Patrick was 20th on Friday with a top speed of 228.284 and Honda claimed three of the top four spots with Andretti, Wickens and Servia.

After five innings of play on Thursday’s Division IV district semifinal in Gallia County, thirdseeded Southern and the second-seeded Lady Titans were halted due to darkness. Prior to the stoppage, the Lady Tornadoes (139) surrendered four runs in the bottom of the first, as Notre Dame charged to a 4-0 advantage by way of four hits and three fielding miscues by the Purple and Gold. The Lady Titans tacked on an additional run in the bottom of the third, when Isabel Cassidy connected on a one-out solo home run to extend the lead to 5-0. SHS picked up its first hit of the contest in the top of the fourth, as Paige VanMeter drove a twoout triple to right field. Notre Dame escaped the inning with no further damage, as Lady Titans pitcher Cassie Scahaefer forced a groundout for the third out of the frame. Notre Dame went down in order in the bottom of the fourth, while Southern was held to one base runner in the top of the fifth, when Kaitlyn DeLaCruz drew a one-out walk, but was stranded in the inning. The Lady Titans put two runners on base in the bottom of the fifth, as Cassidy and Claire Dettwiller each reached on singles before play was suspended due to darkness. The game was resumed on Friday with runners on first and third with out in the frame. Despite the delay, Notre Dame continued to carry the momentum in the contest, as Cassidy scored on a wild pitch in the fifth to extend the lead to 6-0. Southern was held without a hit over the span of the final two innings of play, as the Lady Titans closed out the six-run victory. Sydney Cleland suffered the pitching loss for the Lady Tornadoes, as she surrendered six runs on 10 hits, with no walks and three strikeouts in six innings of work. VanMeter provided the lone hit of the contest for Southern to lead the way at the plate. DeLaCruz and Josie Cundiff each drew a walk in the game, as the Purple and Gold were held to just three base runners over the span of seven innings.

In the bottom of the inning, Ally Barber reached on an error to open frame, and then Kelsey Casto and Kennadi Rockhold hit back to back singles to load the bases. Barber scored as Mollie Maxon was hit by a pitch, and then Sidney Cook singled home Casto and Kennadi Rockhold, tying the game at four. Eastern left two runners in scoring position, and the teams continued to battle. After blanking the Lady Indians in the top of the 11th, Eastern began the bottom of the frame with back-to-back hits, but ultimately stranded both runners. Valley loaded the bases with two outs in the 12th, but a groundout ended the inning. In the home half of the frame, Cook doubled with one out, but was left on base. Eastern sent VHS down in order in the top of the 13th, and again began the bottom of the frame with back-to-back singles. However, the next three Lady Eagles were retired. Practice Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Eastern freshman Kennadi Rockhold catches a flyball in right field, during the Lady Eagles’ 7-5 loss to Valley on Thursday in Rio Grande, Ohio. In the top of the 14th, Valley took a 5-4 lead as Caldwell scored on a two-out single by Kensie Spencer. Eastern tied the game in the home half of the inning, as Grueser led off with a double and then scored on a one-out error. The Lady Indians reestablished the lead in the following frame, as Caldwell and Haylee Stone scored on a twoout single by Marissa Markins. The Lady Eagles had a pair of hits with one out in the bottom of the 15th, but couldn’t bring either around to score and fell by a 7-5 final. Following the marathon game, fifth-year Eastern head coach Bryan Durst reflected on the opportunities for both sides. “Just a tremendous game, there’s so many different ways the outcome could have been different,” Coach Durst said. While the expected rain stayed away most of the day and most of From page 1B the week, the track was saturated shortly after the qualifying draw One more wrinkle ended, forcing drivers If trying to figure out to work on a mostly these new cars wasn’t green track. tough enough, drivers The forecast also calls will face even more obstafor rain Saturday and cles Saturday. “You look at the way we had the lead early, then in extra innings they go up three, and I thought ‘our chances are not good here,’ but we just kept battling. We got right back in it, they got another lead and we battled back again. “Just a great effort from our kids. I think in time they’ll realize, this was a game that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, I know I will.” Pitching all-15 innings and suffering the loss in the record book for the Lady Eagles, freshman Tessa Rockhold struck out 10 batters and allowed seven earned runs on 18 hits and five walks. “I thought Tessa being a freshman out on the mound, what she did tonight was awesome,” Coach Durst said. Taking the win in a complete game for Val- ley, Faith Brown struck out seven batters, while allowing five runs, three earned, on 18 hits, a walk and a hit batter. “The one thing that I’d like to have back is that I thought we hit the ball in the air too much tonight,” Coach Durst said. “The ball was just hanging in the air. If we could have hit a few more line drives, kept the ball down and made their infield field the ball more, I think we could have easily won that game. You don’t have do-overs in athletics, we put forth our best effort, and let’s give some credit to Lucasville Valley too.” The Lady Eagles — playing without starting left fielder Courtney Fitzgerald, who missed the game due to illness — had eight players combine for 18 hits, 16 of which were singles. Leading EHS, Cook was 3-for-7 with a double Sunday, when the field is set and the pole shootout is held. “Got to nail it on the first one, especially with — I think there’s weather tomorrow, so at best one attempt tomorrow,” Andretti said. “I think we’re just going to have to play whatever hand we’re dealt and wring it out.” and two RBIs, while Barber and Kennadi Rockhold were both 3-for-7 with a run apiece. Emmalea Durst also went 3-for7 in the setback, Grueser was 2-for-7 with a double and two runs, while Tessa Rockhold was 2-for-7 with an RBI. Maxon and Casto both singled once, with Maxon earning an RBI, and Casto scoring one run. Leading Valley, Caldwell had a triple, two doubles, two singles, three runs and one RBI, while Brown singled four times and drove in two runs. Williams and Weeks both singled twice and scored once, while Sommers singled twice and drove in a run. The Lady Indians committed four errors in the game, one more than the Lady Eagles. EHS stranded 17 runners on base, while VHS left 14. This marks the final game for the Lady Eagles’ senior trio of Sidney Cook, Sophie Carleton and Courtney Fitzgerald. “You feel bad for your seniors,” Coach Durst said. “Sidney’s going to play a lot more softball up at Bowling Green. Sophie Carleton has a great life ahead of her. I really hate it for Courtney Fitzgerald, because she wasn’t here tonight. The seniors that are going on are just great people to be around.” With only losing three seniors, the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division champion Lady Eagles will look to continue their winning tradition in the future. “We started four freshmen tonight, and you can see what they’re made of,” said Coach Durst. “They’ve got the right stuff and they like to play softball. We have plenty of juniors who are going to be seniors next year, that’s a nice class and going to be a nice group of leaders.” Valley is scheduled to return to Rio Grande on Saturday at 1 p.m. to face the winner of the Southern versus Notre Dame game, which was suspended in the fifth inning due to darkness, with the Lady Titans ahead 5-0.

Scahaefer also provided a home run on the offensive side. Detwiller, Baylee Webb and Lauren Delabar led the way for NDHS at the plate with two safeties apiece. Webb also scored once and drove in one RBI. Cassidy, Molly Hoover and Taylor Schmidt each provided one hit apiece, to conclude the hit totals for the Lady Titans. Cassidy also scored twice, while Hoover provided one run scored and Schmidt scored once and drove in a run to close out the offensive totals for Notre Dame. Southern committed three fielding miscues, while NDHS had one error in the game. The Lady Tornadoes stranded three runners, while the Lady Titans left four on base. Following the game, SHS coach Alan Crisp was candid regarding his teams effort and reflected on the wellpitched performance by his opposition. “We came out battling,” said Crisp. “We faced one of the best pitchers in the district. We had three errors in the first inning, but we battled. The four runs we gave away in the first inning really set us behind the eightball when your facing pitching like that. I can’t say enough how proud I am of the girls. “They could’ve come down to finish this game and said the heck with it,” Crisp said. “Instead they were focused and played good defense over the last two innings. These girls have just been amazing this season.” The setback marks the final game for Lady Tornadoes’ seniors Lauren Lavender, Shelbi Dailey, Jolisha Ervin, Josie Cundiff, Paige VanMeter, Jaiden Roberts and Sydney Cleland. “They’ve been a very important part of this team,” Coach Crisp said. “Softball is their sport. They eat, drink and sleep it. I can’t describe what they’ve meant to us. Hopefully the younger players see what they’ve brought to the game and learn from that work ethic.” With the loss, the Southern softball team was the final Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division club to be eliminated from 2018 postseason. “We ran into a steamroller with Notre Dame,” said Crisp. “I felt for Eastern in their contest on Thursday, because they battled and have had such a great season. Belpre also ran into a steamroller against Clay. Despite that, it’s been a good year for this conference. We’ve played some tough teams and pretty well overall this season.” Scott Jones can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext 2106. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, May 20, 2018 3B McCarley signs with GSC basketball By Bryan Walters to impact lives and make a difference with the profession I am choosing.

River Valley senior Madison Tabor’s step to the next level of competition in the realm of track and field will indeed be a journey — but one that remains close to home. On May 16 at River Valley High School, senior Madison Tabor signed a letter of intent to join the University of Rio Grande track and field team. “It’s been a dream of mine since middle school,” said Tabor. “It has always been a goal. I’m the first person in my family to sign to a college and some day I hope to compete at a professional level.” Tabor’s signing came on the heels her most recent triumph on the field, having earned a spot at the Region 7 championships following a third place finish in the shot put at the Division II Southeast District at Meigs High School on May 15. In addition to her success on the track and field squad, Tabor also was a member of the Silver and Black’s volleyball and swimming teams. Tabor elaborated on her decision to continue her track and field career, along with the possibility of returning to the court as a member of the RedStorm volleyball program. “Track was my best sport. I have plans to “I like that I can be close to home,” Tabor said. “I’ve always worked well with Coach Wood. He’s worked with me and has always known how to coach me. Of the schools I had opportunities with, Rio Grande was the one I felt most connected to — going away was never in my sight.” Tabor will throw under the tutelage of another Gallia County native, Rio track and field assistant coach Burt Wood.

The people, who sought anonymity because the trade had not been officially announced, said the deal was expected to be completed Friday. The trade would help fill a significant need for the Cardinals — a cornerback to play opposite Patrick Peterson. The Browns would receive a sixth-round draft pick. The impending deal was first reported by NFL.com’s Ian Rappaport. The 27-year-old Taylor played the last two seasons with the Browns, with three interceptions and 23 passes defensed in 31 games. He played his first three NFL seasons with Miami after being drafted in the second round out of Boise State. He was acquired by Cleveland in a draft-day trade in 2016. Taylor was a team captain but the Browns have been shopping him since before the draft. New general manager John Dorsey has completely overhauled Cleveland’s secondary and Taylor would be the sixth player he’s traded since taking over the team in December. Taylor’s fate was sealed when the Browns drafted Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward with the No. 4 overall pick last month. Finding a second cornerback to play opposite Peterson has been a perennial issue for the Cardinals. With Peterson one of the best in the game, teams often didn’t even try passing in his direction, instead targeting the other defender. Arizona didn’t address the position in the draft until the sixth round, when they selected Chris Campbell out of Penn State. The team drafted Brandon Williams out of Texas Aaron Josefczyk | AP file Cleveland Browns’ Jamar Taylor gestures during a game Dec. 24, 2016, against the San Diego Chargers in Cleveland.

Rockets head into Game 3 confident after big win HOUSTON (AP) — The Rockets have reason to feel good, tied with Golden State after winning Game 2 in a rout in the Western Conference finals. But a big challenge awaits Sunday at Oracle Arena, where the Warriors have won an NBArecord tying 15 straight playoff games. Houston coach Mike D’Antoni knows all about Golden State’s success in Oakland, but thinks it has less to do with being at home than the fact that the Warriors are a great team. “The challenge is you’re playing Golden State. That’s why they’ve won 15 in a row. Not because of the building, but because they’re good,” he said. “All these players are used to playing in hostile environments … it helps a little bit (but) sometimes you feed off the energy also from the other crowd. So you try to take them out as soon as you can and take out the crowd.” The Rockets aren’t daunted by Golden State’s winning streak there and are looking forward to the challenge. “It’s definitely a great place to play,” Trevor Ariza said. “Their fans are great. They bring a lot of energy to the game. At this point there’s nothing like playing in that type of environment and trying to silence them.” Ariza was one of the keys to Houston’s 127-105 win in Game 2 that helped erase the memory of Houston’s tough home loss in the series opener. Ariza had 19 points as one of five Rockets who scored David J. Phillip | AP Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) stands on the court during a break in the action during Game 2 of the NBA basketball Western Conference Finals on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets in Houston. Curry, Warriors not worried about MVP’s shooting the Rockets as the best-ofseven showdown shifts to Oracle Arena for Game 3 on Sunday night notched at 1 game apiece. He is shooting 15 for 34 overall from the floor, missing 11 of his 13 3-point tries. “I’ve gone 0 for 11 before shooting 3s, 1 for 8. Whatever the case is, you’re always shooting that next shot with the optimism and the confidence that it’s going in,” Curry said. “So you can work on stuff in between practices and games and get your rhythm, just seeing the ball go in, work on your mechanics, but never lose confidence in myself ever. And that’ll never change.” During his extensive shooting work Friday, Curry yelled out “Ahhh!” in frustration a few times. He hollered “Oh my goodness!” and “Crazier things have happened!” Durant just shook his head and noted, “If you worry about missed 3s with Steph Curry …” then carried on about the Houston defense and how impressed he is that Curry has improvised and taken opportunities to drive to the rim when the Rockets switch out on him in an effort to protect the 3-point line. Curry referred to his personal shooting coach, Bruce Fraser, as “sensei,” or teacher. They talk in depth about what kind of workout Curry needs on any given day to feel right with his shot . Curry understands the scrutiny. Golden State took a 127-105 beating from Chris Paul, James Harden and the Rockets on Wednesday night in Houston. “It’s something to talk about and we obviously lost so you can try to pinpoint stuff or reasons,” Curry said. “And obviously I didn’t have to talk to any of y’all to wake up and know I didn’t play well in Game 2. That doesn’t change my outlook on the series or what I need to do. If I don’t shoot the ball well in Game 3 it won’t change a thing about the way I approach the next one. You come to the game with the right intentions, the right approach and more times than not it will work out in your favor.” Curry feels great physically. He missed nearly six weeks with a sprained left knee he injured March 23 before he came back for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against New Orleans. Coach Steve Kerr believes it’s far tougher to return from an injury during the pressure-packed playoffs, with no time to ease in with games that don’t matter or have near the same magnitude. “I think Steph’s healthy, he’s moving fine,” Kerr said. “But this is more rhythm than anything. You come back from six weeks in the regular season, chances are you’re going to have a game where nobody’s focused and the other team’s playing their fourth in five nights and the defense isn’t that tough and you make a bunch of 3s and you just feel good.” — Chris Paul, Houston Rockets more than 16 points to rebound after an ineffective performance in Game 1 because of foul trouble. While the Rockets know what happened in Game 2 won’t matter if they don’t take care of business on Sunday night, they do believe it gives them a bit of momentum. “Yeah, just because we know we’re more than capable of it,” James Harden said. “We’ve just got to go out there and do it every possession.” Houston’s 127 points were the most the team has scored this postseason. But they’re quick to point out that their success on offense was the product of solid defense. That, they say, is the reason it won’t be difficult to recreate what they did in Game 2 on Sunday night. “It wasn’t anything special that we did,” Harden said. “We just created more opportunities with our defense.” Sunday will be just Houston’s second game at Golden State this season and first since the Rockets got a 122121 win on Oct. 17 in the opener for both teams on the night the Warriors received their championship rings. “A lot has been going on since then,” Harden said. “But as long as we take those same principles and that mindset that we have, no matter where we play, we’ll be HELP WANTED FULL TIME OH-70051427 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry has absolutely no concerns about his 3-point touch, so he’s counting on the first one he takes going in. “I have confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence in me to do what I need to do,” the two-time MVP said Friday. “Never worry about it because I know how hard I work at it. It’s not a false sense of confidence. I know how hard I work at what I do.” His teammates and coach also say enough with the panic about Curry already. Kevin Durant doesn’t even want to hear about any shooting struggles: he considers Curry the best shooter on the planet, and so be it if he shows he’s human, too, once in a while. This is after all the same sweet shooter who broke his own NBA record for 3s in a single season by hitting 402 in 2015-16. “When Steph misses a shot everybody gets up in arms about it. That’s how great he is. So many people expect him to make every single shot. Sometimes it doesn’t happen,” Durant said. “I knew the next couple days was going to be about Steph struggling to shoot the ball but that’s the last thing I worry about with Steph. I’ve just got so much confidence in him on the offensive side of the basketball.” Still, Curry has just one 3-pointer in each of the first two games of the Warriors’ Western Conference finals series with “It feels like Game 2 was a week ago now. That’s how it is in the playoffs … we’ve done a great job all year staying even-keeled. We tried not to get too high or too low.” residential construction position available in Meigs County. 740-416-1771 pretty good.” Kevin Durant has scored 75 points combined in the first two games to lead the Warriors, but Stephen Curry hasn’t really gotten going yet as he rounds into form after missing almost two months with a knee injury. The Rockets know the 2015 and 2016 Most Valuable Player is capable of having a huge game at any time and they must account for him at all times, just as they do with Durant and Klay Thompson. “I just think everybody on their team can shoot,” Ariza said. “When they’re in a scoring position, you just have to give some sort of resistance. Try to make them think about doing other things.” The Warriors have much more experience at this level of the postseason with this being their franchise-record fourth straight trip to the conference finals. But Houston has plenty of veteran leadership led by ninetime All-Star Chris Paul, who said it’s easy to look forward regardless of how the last game went. “It feels like Game 2 was a week ago now,” he said. “That’s how it is in the playoffs … we’ve done a great job all year staying even-keeled. We tried not to get too high or too low.” BULK MULCH Red or Black IN STOCK Also Available Top Soil & Over Sized Gravel CROWN EXCAVATING & STONE 5885 St Route 218 Gallipolis 740-256-6456 Mon-Fri 8-5 Sat 8-12 60409816 OH-70047687 �COMICS 6B Sunday, May 20, 2018 BLONDIE Sunday Times-Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green "Y $AVE 'REEN � � ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner ���� � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE � � � � � � � � � � � � � � THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price � Hank Ketcham’s � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Hockey fans in Atlanta — yes, they actually exist — are still bitter about the way they lost the Thrashers seven years ago , a move that deprived this city of a team for the second time and probably any chance of ever again being a member of the NHL club. In the A-T-L, a popular refrain of the postseason seems to be A-B-T-J. Anybody But The Jets. “I won’t support the Jets,” former Thrashers fan Fred Johnson wrote in an email. “In fact, I’d like to see their fans suffer for a lot longer like we did.” Instead of suffering, the Jets and their fans are thriving . Winnipeg reached the Western Conference final against the Vegas Golden Knights — a sort of double-whammy for Atlantans, who have seen what their former team could have been while getting a tantalizing glimpse of what a well-run expansion franchise can do its very first season. Founded in 1999, the Thrashers managed just 14 wins and 39 points in their debut year, which remains the worst fullschedule total in almost a quarter-century. The Golden Knights piled up 51 wins and 109 points, captured a division title and were just two wins away from playing for the Stanley Cup going into Game 4 of their series against the Jets on Friday night. “It’s not hard to feel like just yesterday Atlanta was an expansion team,” said another Thrashers fan, Tiffany Burns. “I couldn’t have imagined how surreal it would have been to be a part of something so successful so quick.” In contrast to the Golden Knights, the Thrashers never really had a chance in Atlanta, doomed by a bickering group of owners who spent more time suing each other than caring about what was happening on the ice, clueless management and inept coaching, and a roster perennially low on talent. The lone highlight came in 2007, when the team captured the Southeast Division title and finally made the playoffs for the first (and only) time. The euphoria didn’t last long. The Thrashers were swept in four straight games by the New York Rangers. Atlanta began the following season with six consecutive losses, leading to the firing of coach Bob Hartley, and the dismantling of the franchise commenced a few months later. In what became an all-too-familiar scenario, the frugal Thrashers dealt away Marian Hossa rather than lose him as a free agent — one of many horrible deals engineered by general manager Don Waddell, who somehow kept his job throughout the Thrashers’ entire existence without ever really demonstrating that he knew what he was doing. Anyone remember Angelo Esposito, a supposed top prospect who was acquired in the Hossa deal? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? The Thrashers always seemed to operate under a dark cloud, most tragically exhibited in 2003 when star player Dany Heatley lost control of his Ferrari on a narrow Atlanta street, struck a wall at high speed and killed teammate Dan Snyder . Heatley recovered but was never the same, eventually requesting a trade so he could get a fresh start elsewhere. The Thrashers soon followed Heatley’s lead. In 2011, after a proposed move of the bankrupt Phoenix franchise to Winnipeg fell apart, the NHL quickly engineered a deal to send Atlanta’s team north in place of the Coyotes , collecting a hefty relocation fee and ridding themselves of another troublesome franchise. While it’s impossible to deny that the team has been more embraced by hockey-mad Winnipeg than it ever was in Atlanta, this city’s fans have long gotten a bum rap that goes all the way back to its first NHL team. Yes, the Flames lasted only eight years in Atlanta before moving to Calgary in 1980. But they averaged more than 10,000 fans every season (not a sure thing in those days) and outdrew the NBA’s Hawks every year but their last. That franchise was largely doomed by the economics of the late 1970s. For the Thrashers, it was a similar story. They averaged more than 17,000 in their debut season despite putting one of the worst teams in modern NHL history on the ice. But the franchise was essentially doomed when it was sold to a group known as Atlanta Spirit (what a malicious example of false advertising that was). The new owners wanted only the Hawks and Phillips Arena. Almost immediately, they began trying to pawn off the Thrashers. Not surprisingly, no one was interested in acquiring a team that would have to rent an arena from an increasingly dysfunctional group. As the losses mounted, reportedly in the range of $130 million, Atlanta Spirit began looking for another way out. When the Winnipeg offer came along, there was no real attempt to keep the team in Atlanta. Through all the turmoil, the Thrashers never ranked at the bottom of the NHL in attendance. In fact, the average from their gloomy final year would have beaten out three teams this season. For some players, changes to draft rules may come too late CHICAGO (AP) — Mo Bamba is fully convinced that he’s ready for the NBA. He also believes that was the case a year ago. If Bamba — the massive Texas center who will likely be taking his 7-foot-10 wingspan to a lottery team at the NBA draft next month — was a high school senior in 2020, he probably would have bypassed college and made the jump straight to the league. The expectation around the NBA is that will be the year where so-called “one-anddone” rule will come off the books and players will no longer have to wait a season before going to the pro ranks. So Bamba went to college and waited his turn, though he’s not sure it was needed. “I thought about it a lot,” Bamba said. “It’s an area I probably would have explored.” Out of the 30 firstround picks that will be made at the draft, it’s entirely possible that as many as 25 will have played no more than one season of college basketball. Some didn’t even play in college — there are a couple of European players likely to be firstrounders, and intriguing combo guard Anfernee Simons did a year of postgraduate work at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Simons tested off the charts at the draft combine this week, with a 41 1/2-inch vertical. He’s a former Louisville commit, who decided to hold off on college after the scandal that ultimately led to the dismissal of coach Rick Pitino. “I’ve just been working hard on all aspects of my game, trying to get better every day,” Simons said. The NBA makes no secret of the fact that one-and-done doesn’t work ideally for any party involved — the pro ones or the college ones. The league has talked about making 20 the minimum age where a player can enter the NBA; the players’ union has said it would prefer it going back to 18. And now with the college game on the cusp of massive changes amid an ongoing federal investigation, it seems quite likely that the oneand-done policy will be scrubbed soon. Bamba’s reaction to that: About time. “It’s only right by the athletes,” Bamba said. “Some kids have lifelong dreams of wanting to play in the NBA. Not manipulating, but changing the rules so we have more of an option as players is what’s most beneficial to us.” Gallia County Youth & Employers Wanted OhioMeansJobs Gallia County, 848 Third Avenue, Gallipolis **OhioMeansJobs Gallia County is searching for EMPLOYERS AND YOUTH for the 2018 CCMEP-TANF Summer Youth Employment Program.
