Lack of quorum cancels Pomeroy council meeting By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council did not hold their scheduled meeting Tuesday night, having insufﬁcient members to reach quorum. Council members Ruth Spaun, Nick Michael, and Victor Young were present, but were short a fourth member as required by the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). The ORC speciﬁes operating procedures for all Ohio village councils, including the minimum number or council members to open a council meeting, called a quorum. Continuing discussions of water/sewer policy and downtown parking meters were expected during the scuttled meeting. The lack of quorum nulliﬁed a second reading of an ordinance, which moves the date of a 4.75 percent price increase of water and sewer service for village customers. The ordinance amends ordinance 780-16, pushing the increase to June, instead of the end of this month.

Colton, the son of Fred and Sonia Zuspan of West Columbia, was born at 24 weeks. He weighed in at only one pound, ﬁve-and-a-half ounces, and was 11 ½ inches long, the same length as a Mattel Barbie doll. Being born premature, or as a “preemie,” left Colton with low vision and cerebral palsy. His goal during the senior project at Wahama High School was to research premature birth, its causes, and its effects. “I wanted to know what that had to do with me,” he stated. And part of that research included a trip back to those ﬁrst days at the Ohio State University Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Colton did not make the trip empty handed though. While at the local Dollar General store, Colton got the idea to take the current babies in the NICU each a “tag blanket.” A tag blanket is a small, soft blanket with looped pieces of ribbon sewn all around the borders.

OHIO VALLEY — Southeastern Ohio is one of only four rural areas in the country to be awarded federal grants to implement innovative approaches to ending youth homelessness, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced recently. Local homeless agencies in Athens, Vinton, Meigs, Jackson, and Gallia counties will be eligible for a portion of HUD’s $2.2 million Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program grant to help address a problem that is largely out of view in rural parts of the state. The Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO) submitted the grant application along with the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) on behalf of the homeless system that includes southeast Ohio. COHHIO, a non-proﬁt agency working to end homelessness throughout Ohio, will serve as the lead agency, collaborating with local partners to create a coordinated community plan and develop new projects to prevent and end youth homelessness in the ﬁvecounty region. A variety of local and state stakeholders will participate in the planning process, including homeless service providers, schools, child welfare agencies, youth advisory boards, the Ohio Department of Education and other community partners.

As a demonstration project, the local initiatives to ﬁght youth homelessness will be closely monitored to assess their effectiveness. “This grant will help us ﬁgure out the best ways to meet the needs of homeless youth in rural communities. The lessons we learn from this pilot project could be applied more broadly throughout rural Ohio and even at the national level,” said Erica Mulryan, COHHIO’s Continuum of Care Director. “We’re honored to have this opportunity to develop policies and programs that could advance efforts to end youth homelessness throughout the country.” Mulryan said the federal funding, which becomes available early this year, will be used to support the development of new local projects that use proven methods to reduce homelessness, like supportive housing and rapid rehousing. The grant money could also be used to fund new and innovative approaches to combat youth homelessness in the community. In addition to HUD funding, local homeless service agencies participating in the project, including Sojourners Care Network, a homeless youth provider based in Vinton County, and Integrated Services for Behavioral Health based in Athens, receive state support through the Ohio Housing Trust Fund. The Trust Fund is the primary source of state funding for local homeless service providers throughout the state. “This federal grant is a great example of how the Ohio Housing Trust Fund helps leverage federal funding for local agencies who are working every day to house Information submitted by Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio. 25 (ESPN) SportsCenter 26 (ESPN2) Around Horn Interruption 27 (LIFE) 29 (FREE) 30 (SPIKE) Civitas Media, LLC (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-992-2155 31 (NICK) 34 (USA) 35 (TBS) 37 (CNN) 38 (TNT) 39 42 Publishes every Sunday and Tuesday through Friday.

American Airlines to sell restricted ‘basic economy’ ticket DALLAS (AP) — The evolution of a caste system in the economy cabin of jetliners is deepening, with passengers divided and treated differently based on how much they are willing to pay the airline. American Airlines announced Wednesday that passengers will be able to buy “basic economy” tickets starting next month that will be similar to bare-bones fares already offered by Delta Air Lines and soon to be matched by United Airlines. If you want to get the cheapest fare on American or United, you will have to leave that rolling carry-on bag at home. Passengers who pay basic-economy rates on those carriers will be limited to one item that ﬁts under their seat — no wheeled bags that take up space in the overhead bins. American didn’t describe prices for its version of basic economy, which will begin at 10 U.S. airports and later be expanded nationwide and to close international destinations such as the Caribbean. On randomly chosen ﬂights next month on Delta, the basic-economy price ranged from $7 to $25 cheaper than a regular economy ticket. Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com, said savings can be even higher because Delta tends to try to match prices for Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines. But, he said, Delta limits the number of basiceconomy seats much the same way that it limits seats available for customers paying with frequent-ﬂier miles. The idea behind the stripped-down ticket is to better compete with discount airlines for travelers on a tight budget. Spirit and Frontier go after those customers with cheap fares, then tack on fees for extras including use of the overhead bins. Delta offers basic economy on about 40 percent of its U.S. routes and plans to cover them all by year-end and expand it to international ﬂights. United ofﬁcials said Wednesday that they will begin selling a similar ticket by the end of March at one airport, Minneapolis, for travel starting in late spring or early summer, then expand to the rest of the U.S. If you buy a basiceconomy fare on American, you can expect this: — No wheeled carry-on bags; you’ll be allowed just a single item that ﬁts under the seat. — You will be in the last group to board the plane unless you’re already a high-level member of American’s loyalty program or hold an American-branded credit card. — Tickets are nonrefundable and can’t be changed. — No upgrades allowed. Basic-economy buyers aren’t able to pick a seat when they buy their ticket, although American will let them pay extra for a seat assignment starting 48 hours before the ﬂight. The policy will make it harder for two or more people to sit together if they buy basic-economy fares, although American said it will try to seat children 13 and under with an adult family member. American Airlines President Robert Isom said in a memo to employees that ﬂight attendants won’t monitor whether basiceconomy ticket holders try to put their personal item in the overhead bins. United Airlines President Scott Kirby said his airline would take a similar approach. If a customer gets past the United ticket counter and to the gate with a wheeled bag, an employee will take the bag and the customer will be charged a bag fee and a “handling fee,” Kirby said. The fee for a ﬁrst checked bag is $25, and the handling fee will also be $25. American plans a similar $25 extra fee. The big airlines hope that cut-rate fares will win back some of the passengers they are now losing to fast-growing discount carriers. They also aim to try to convince customers to buy more expensive tickets with more ﬂexibility and amenities. Delta says that about half the customers who intend to buy basic economy decide, when presented with options, to trade up. Delta’s president, Glen Hauenstein, said recently that the industry is in the early stages of segmenting the main cabin — in Delta’s case, from basic economy to “premium select,” which has more room and a special menu and is sort of a watered-down version of business-class.

It was June 18, 2007, and Obama was a ﬁrst-term U.S. senator from Illinois. His demeanor was youthful, and his closely cropped hair was black, both underscoring his relative lack of experience. But it was another prominent feature he mocked in himself when introduced to Register cartoonist Brian Duffy: His ears. “Oh no,” he said, shaking his head in jest. “Ohhhh no.” It was an endearing “The question now is, moment, one of many for all the intemperate I’ve experienced over the 25 years I’ve been pronouncements, attending Register what will we get in a endorsement interviews. President Trump?” George W. Bush showed the same quality eight years earlier, “instantly disarm(ing) a bunch of old skeptics,” as I wrote. “He was funny and familiar, a man who didn’t take himself too seriously, was conﬁdent enough to be self-deprecating and to respond good-naturedly to challenges.” That day, Obama emphasized that he’d bring good judgment to the table and avoid miscues like Bush’s invasion of Iraq. He framed a vision of an America of equal opportunity and upward mobility, respected for its values and ideals, not just its military might. He emphasized how much he was like most Americans; he and his wife Michelle had not long ago repaid their student loans, and she still shopped at Target. He made decisions, he said, after surrounding himself with bright minds on all sides of an issue and hearing them all before taking action. Questioned on a memo his campaign had slipped to reporters criticizing rival Hillary Clinton the support she had garnered from an Indian-American businessman — it called her “the senator from Punjab,” attempting to link her to the outsourcing of jobs to India — Obama called the memo “stupid and caustic.” He said it didn’t reﬂect his views. But he became reﬂective about negative campaigning. “I’m not so naive as to believe I can win without being rough and tumble,” he said. But he also said it was his job to make sure the campaign built the sort of culture he would want in the White House. Reading back over my notes from that interview, I’m struck both by all he got done and by how much we took for granted in those days about how a White House culture should be. On health care, for example, Obama spoke of the need for reforms in which “insurers and drug companies should have a seat at the table but not be able to buy a chair.” Despite a rocky roll out, the Affordable Care Act is law, helping ensure no one can be turned down over a pre-existing condition. But an incoming president and a Republican-controlled Congress are ﬁxing to get rid of it, threatening to strip 18 million people of their insurance within a year, increase the number of the uninsured by 32 million in 10 years, and cause premiums to double, according to the Congressional Budget Ofﬁce. His record on immigration has been less successful. Back then, he advocated a pathway to citizenship for 12 million undocumented immigrants, noting, “I’m not particularly impressed with raids on plants that grab a handful of undocumented workers and send them home.” In fact, under Obama, more immigrants were deported than under any previous president. The Register editorial board endorsed Clinton in the 2008 Iowa caucuses, but I backed Obama, citing his momentum. “It was as if no one could quite believe this youthful but commanding man, who spoke their language and echoed their dreams, might actually run America,” I wrote. This week, Obama leaves ofﬁce, eight years older and grayer, his idealism no doubt tempered by the harsher realities of politics. He hadn’t anticipated how vigorously Congressional Republicans would resist him, even openly wishing for him to fail. He didn’t predict how his name and race would be used to undermine him. But whatever his miscalculations, Obama never lost his oratory and ability to inspire, his diplomatic skills or his abiding belief in the power of people to drive needed change. It’s not hard to see the parallel appeals of Obama and Trump to masses of Americans uncertain about their futures. Both come across as successful, conﬁdent leaders who are outside of the political elite and are willing to take bold steps. Bernie Sanders came across that way, too. As for Hillary Clinton, no matter how progressive her platform may have been, she could never surmount the establishment label. The question now is, for all the intemperate pronouncements, what will we get in a President Trump? How does a people-powered presidency give way to a go-it-alone one, in which no one else is trusted but family, who are elevated to top positions of power. Russian inﬁltration in elections is tolerated, even invited, and every slight provokes a showdown on Twitter.

He needs to listen to his Cabinet, Ryan and others, not try dictating. Maybe then he will be wary of Russia. He will support NATO. He will avoid disastrous trade tariffs. He will not spend us into more debt that could spell crisis time. A Republican House and a Republican Senate, a genuine effort to negotiate with Democrats, could be the way to grand achievements, especially if he does not buy into doing too much too quickly, the “First 100 Days” trap. One thing he can do in a hurry is get a tow truck to haul away the Obama executive orders evading the rule of law through unilateral action the Constitution does not allow. He should move quickly on repatriation of corporate money overseas that could do enormous good on these shores. Corporate tax reform? You bet. Nothing could do more to produce more jobs. Tackling Obamacare should be carefully, judiciously approached. Nothing could do more to liberate and energize the country than to get rid of the overload of regulations that, to the extent they are decipherable, sometimes conﬂict with each other and often mangle common sense. He could help us whip the current crime rise and save lives all over the country. His Supreme Court appointments could well be supreme, saving us from a nine-person oligarchy. The big, big thing is to trash the worst of the Obama legacy. It was about political incompetence in league with worship of the state and what it tried to do was carry us further to an America out of touch with its founding principles. Obama thought he would transform America. He got a start in all the wrong directions, and now we need a Trump rescue. Jay Ambrose is an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service.

According to Colton, they are particularly helpful when trying to read something on a blackboard at school. Although Colton is unsure about his future plans after high school, he has a number of interests. He is a selfproclaimed “gamer,” enjoying his Nintendo 3DS the most. He likes Percy Jackson movies and books, is a history and trivia buff, and loves all things Disney. In fact, a senior trip to Disney World with his parents is Colton’s next adventure. Even though he was there at age eight, this will be his ﬁrst trip in an airplane. Colton said he has a love for roller coasters and is deﬁnitely looking forward to taking everything in at the Florida amusement park in April. for the idea, but with a cost of $4 each, and a total of 49 beds in the NICU, it was going to be an expensive venture. The pair came home, got on the popular website Pinterest, and found they could make the blankets for a fraction of the cost. Sonia, who has long made decorated cakes from her home, and Colton decided to bake cream-ﬁlled cupcakes to raise the money for the materials to make the blankets. They planned to make four dozen, sell them at $10 per dozen, and make $40 total. Once advertised on Facebook, however, the pair quickly had requests for 16 dozen. The extra money allowed Colton to purchase a gift bag for each blanket, and to make a homemade card for each baby that included his photo and a short story of why he was giving the special gifts.

On delivery day, Colton and his parents headed to Columbus. When they arrived with their gifts, they were surprised to ﬁnd a nurse still working there who had tended to Colton in the NICU all those years ago. She remembered Colton, and the family held a mini reunion. Other workers in the unit joined them for a look through a scrapbook that Sonia had made and kept during those ﬁrst 100 days. The return to the NICU brought back a myriad of emotions for Colton’s parents. They spent a lot of time with Colton at the hospital, but also had Colton’s siblings, Ezra and Kelsey, at home who needed their attention.

Blue Devils top River Valley, 62-50 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — One quick run can make, or break your entire night. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team needed just 2:30 to turn a ﬁve-point halftime lead into a 14-point advantage and the Blue Devils never looked back, en route to a 62-50 victory over nonconference host River Valley, on Tuesday night in Gallia County. River Valley (5-10) was held scoreless for the ﬁrst three minutes of the game, as Gallia Academy (7-4) took a 4-0 lead. The Raiders took their ﬁrst and only lead of the game, at 7-4, with 3:49 left in the ﬁrst, but the Silver and Black didn’t score again in the period. GAHS took the lead back at the 2:47 mark of the ﬁrst and pushed its advantage to 12-7 by the end of the stanza. The Raiders cut the deﬁcit to three points twice in the second quarter, but Gallia Academy took the 19-15 lead into the break. “The ﬁrst half was kind of methodical and slow,” fourth- year GAHS head coach Gary Harrison said. “We really weren’t used to the environment, it was loud and everything was rushed. When we came in at halftime, we settled down and took a deep breath. We thought to ourselves ‘we just have to relax and play our game’. We got out and ran a little bit in the second half and I think that’s what changed the game.” The Blue Devils began the second half with an 11-2 run, pushing the lead to 14 points with 5:30 left in the third quarter. GAHS outscored River Valley 17-15 count over the remainder of the third, giving the guests a 47-31 lead with eight minutes to play. The Raiders held Gallia Academy scoreless for nearly three minutes to start the fourth quarter, allowing RVHS to cut the deﬁcit to 12 points at 47-35. The Blue Devils held River Valley scoreless for almost four minutes, however, as a 7-0 run extended the Gallia Academy lead to a gamehigh 19 points, with 2:18 to play. See DEVILS | 7 Big Blacks top Meigs By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com Paul Boggs/OVP Sports Meigs’ Devon Hawley (30) puts up a shot over Point Pleasant’s Will Harbour (25) during Tuesday night’s non-league boys basketball game at Point Pleasant High School. POINT PLEASANT, W. Va. — Doug Workman went out of his way to give the Big Blacks their gigantic lead. He was even more determined to make sure a second Point Pleasant push didn’t end up as another massive Meigs comeback. The senior Workman went off for a game-high 30 points, including the opening six in overtime in a matter of a minute, as Point Pleasant — after enduring the visiting Marauders making a rally for the ages — captured an 83-75 boys basketball victory on Tuesday night in The Dungeon. “We got a second life tonight,” said PPHS coach Josh Williams. “With the overtime, we were fortunate, and Doug (Workman) stepped up and made some big plays and I think the kids fed off of that. It doesn’t take much to get him going.” Williams was also quick to explain that his Big Blacks, after only four wins all of last season, are still in the learning process — despite their now 9-3 record. “To lose that big of a lead and come back and ﬁght, our kids are still learning how to win. They could have just crumbled,” he said. “Hats off to Meigs for ﬁghting all the way back and giving us ﬁts. To give this one up in the fashion that we could have, it could have been real damaging for us. But we’re focusing on the positives from this and learning from the negatives.” And, there was plenty of both for both sides. In absolutely a tale of two halves, or even arguably three quarters, the Big Blacks burst out for a whopping 33-5 See MEIGS | 7 60700396 PLAYER Meigs: Luke Musser Senior 17 points, one of two Marauders in double ¿JXUHV�LQ�WKH�ORVV�WR� Vinton.

Workman, the threepoint sharpshooting specialist, was responsible for three threes — as part of a squad seven in the opening half. An insurmountable edge, right? Well think again. That’s because the Marauders — already with two come-frombehind triumphs as part of their eightgame winning streak that ended at Vinton County — really outdid themselves on Tuesday. Meigs managed to cut the deﬁcit at halftime to 38-21, then outscored the Big Blacks 18-10 in the third period to get within single digits at 48-39. Finally, as missed shots piled up for Point Pleasant against Meigs’ patented 1-3-1 zone, the Marauders mounted their most furious charge in the fourth quarter — scoring 23 points and reclaiming the lead at 61-60 with 36 seconds to play. “It took us forever to get going, and we exerted a lot of energy in regulation to come back, but I’m very proud of our kids for not quitting and showing a lot of resiliency,” said Meigs coach Ed Fry. “I know we’re capable of coming back, but we just dug way too deep of a hole there at the beginning. Point Pleasant shot the ball so well in the ﬁrst half. You have to give them a lot of credit. They are vastly improved and they can really shoot the ball before they get tired. We just had to hang in there and answer them back until our defense started wearing them down. We just couldn’t get anything going offensively to answer them back in the ﬁrst 11 minutes. We changed up at halftime and said nothing but going to the basket. We had to get them in foul trouble and we had to score with the clock stopped.” It was the Marauders’ ﬁrst lead since clear back at 2-0, but Camron Long landed a pair of free throws for the Big Blacks — making it 62-61 with 6.6 seconds showing. However, and with the actual time on the clock down to the exact tenth-of-a-second being debated about, the Marauders made it to the free-throw line one last time in regulation —as Dillon Mahr made the ﬁrst of the double-bonus with 1.3 seconds left. But Mahr missed his second shot which would have given the Marauders the lead again — and Luke Musser’s rebound putback attempt got blocked by Will Harbour. Then, in the unlikely overtime period, it was Workman going back to work. He opened the extra session with an oldfashioned three-point play, then drained his ﬁfth and ﬁnal three-ball to make it 68-62 at the 2:55 mark. He later landed his ﬁnal ﬁeld goal to make it 75-67, as the Big Blacks scored 21 points in the four-minute overtime to outlast the Marauders. Workman ﬁnished with 10 total ﬁeld goals — ﬁve twos and ﬁve threes —along with 5-of-6 foul shots. As the fourth quarter and overtime turned into a free-throw shooting contest, Point Pleasant made 17-of-24 in the dozen-minute span, including 13-of17 in the extra frame. As a club, the Big Blacks sank 19-of-30 — as Meigs never got closer than four points twice in overtime. “We were able to make free throws when we needed them,” said Williams. Good thing for the Big Blacks that they did — for they didn’t make many secondhalf shots against the Marauders’ zone. “Meigs is methodical with that 1-3-1. They hang their hat on it. It’s just a hard defense to prepare for, especially when someone runs it as well as they do. I told our kids at halftime that they would make some adjustments with it, but they are not coming out of it. We got away from doing what worked in the ﬁrst half,” said Williams. “We settled for quicker shots with the lead and we stopped attacking the gaps and looking for the high post.” Parker Rairden, on ﬁve total ﬁeld goals and 6-of-9 free throws, recorded 17 points — while Harbour hit six ﬁeld goals for a dozen. Cason Payne posted 10 points, followed by Long with a three and 5-of-6 freebies. Trace Derenberger, on a basket and foul shot in overtime, and Braydon Ralbusky — on an overtime free throw —rounded out the Big Blacks’ scoring. Both teams tallied 25 total ﬁeld goals, as Musser, Christian Mattox and Jared Kennedy all amounted 17 points to pace the Marauders. Mattox and Musser made three triples apiece, as Kennedy converted six ﬁeld goals and 5-of-9 free throws. Kennedy also ripped down 16 rebounds. Mahr, on ﬁve ﬁeld goals and 6-of-8 tosses, chipped in 16 points. Devon Hawley with ﬁve second-period points, Zach Bartrum with a pair of fourthquarter foul shots, and Weston Baer with an overtime free throw rounded out the Maroon and Gold. The Marauders fell to 8-6 with the loss, but Fry said there was no shame at all with Tuesday’s defeat. “We’re a good basketball team,” he said. “We’re not the same team that started out 0-4 by any means. That’s a credit to our kids really focusing in on what we need to do.” Williams concurred that the Big Blacks’ win was one of “quality.” “I will take this as a quality win against a quality team. Meigs is a good team, won eight in a row there, and their conﬁdence was high,” he said. “We knew it would be a tough one. We hit shots and attacked well early, but basketball is a game of runs. They answered our run with a run, and then we had the last run in overtime.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Thursday, January 19, 2017 7 Golden Rockets edge OVCS By Paul Boggs time.

Basketball is a game of runs. They made a big run, we tried to stop it, we actually made a couple shots and they made them right back on us. We’re not a good shooting team, we’re a running team and we didn’t get very many fast break points tonight, that was the difference.” After shooting just 21.2 percent from the ﬁeld in the ﬁrst half, Gallia Academy ﬁnished the game shooting 22-of-59 (37.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 3-of-10 (30 percent) from three-point range. River Valley also struggled in the ﬁrst half — shooting from the ﬁeld at a 21.4 percent pace — but the Raiders ﬁnished the game shooting 17-of54 (31.5 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 5-of30 (16.7 percent) from deep. Gallia Academy was 15-of-28 (53.6 percent) from the free throw line, while the Raiders went 11-of-16 (68.8 percent) from the line. The Blue Devils committed 15 turnovers in the win, three fewer than RVHS. “I think we grew up tonight,” Coach Harrison said. “As a team, we’re deﬁantly getting better. What really changed the game was our defense, we put pressure on the ball. They shot a lot of shots, but they were contested, and hats off to our manto-man defense for that. I applaud Coach Drummond and his group, they played hard and you can’t take that away from Alex Hawley/OVP Sports River Valley sophomore Jacob Campbell (33) converts a layup while being fouled by GAHS senior Miles Cornwell (2), during Gallia Academy’s 62-50 victory, on Tuesday in Bidwell. them.” Gallia Academy outrebounded the Raiders by a 40-to-39 edge, with both teams pulling in 10 offensive boards. “We have preached rebounding since the summer and we have never rebounded like that, nor have we played a team that big or that physical,” said Coach Drummond. “I love the effort from my guys, if I could get that effort our record would be reversed, we’d be 10-5 instead of 5-10. We just have to get that effort besides when we play ‘Blue’. They’re a good basketball team, they have good, physical, young guards and good, physical big guys.” GAHS held a 9-to-6 advantage in assists and a 10-to-7 edge in steals, but the Raiders rejected seven shots, one more than the Blue and White. The Blue Devil offense was led by junior Evan Wiseman with 27 points, followed by Cory Call with 10 points. Miles Cornwell, Justin Peck and Zach Loveday each had six points, Justin McClelland added ﬁve, while Kaden Thomas ﬁnished with two. Loveday marked teamhighs of 16 rebounds and six blocked shots for GAHS, while McClelland posted team-highs of three assists and three steals. The Raider offense was led by junior Dustin Barber with 19 points, followed by Jarret McCarley and Tre Craycraft with seven points each. Patrick Brown and Layne Fitch both scored ﬁve points, Jacob Dovenbarger added three, while Ian Polcyn and Jacob Campbell both contributed two points. Dovenbarger pulled in a team-best 16 rebounds for RVHS, Fitch led the way with three assists, while Craycraft led the Raider defense with two steals and four rejections. This is the lone scheduled meeting between GAHS and RVHS this season. Gallia Academy is 2-0 against Gallia County schools this season, leaving the Blue Devils as the only team in the county without a loss to another Gallia County team.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Outﬁelder Brandon Guyer has agreed to a $5 million, two-year contract with the Cleveland Indians. Guyer gets $2 million this year and $2.75 million in 2018, and Cleveland has a $3 million option for 2019 with a $250,000 buyout. Guyer was acquired from Tampa Bay on Aug. 1 and he provided offensive punch and defensive depth down the stretch as the Indians won the AL Central and made the World Series for the ﬁrst time since 1997. Guyer, who turns 31 on Jan. 28, hit .333 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 38 games for Cleveland. Overall, he batted .266 nine homers and 32 RBIs in 101 games. He led the majors by being hit by pitches 31 times — the most for any player with fewer than 400 atbats. Guyer also led the majors in that category in 2015. Guyer was Cleveland’s last arbitration-eligible player to reach a deal. He has asked for a raise from $1,185,000 to $2.3 million and had been offered $1.9 million.

Darlington Raceway President Kerry Tharp says the weekend was popular with both fans and race teams.

Brown wrote his actions were wrong. He also apologized to his teammates for providing a distraction with a shot at the Super Bowl on the line.

The White Falcons (5-6, 4-4 TVC Hocking) never led in the contest, but the hosts forced ties at six-all with 5:32 remaining and again at eight-all with 4:18 left in the opening stanza. The Tomcats (7-5, 7-1), however, answered with a Randy Hixson trifecta at the 4:04 mark, which sparked a 12-2 run for a 20-10 lead with 1:20 left in the opening frame. THS also hit seven of their ﬁrst 11 shot attempts while building its ﬁrst doubledigit lead. Travis Kearns ended a two-and-a-half minute scoreless drought with a basket with 46 seconds remaining, allowing WHS to close to within 20-12 after eight minutes of play. It was also the last time that the hosts didn’t trail by double digits. The Tomcats made a 9-2 charge over the ﬁrst half of the second period for a 29-14 cushion, then answered with a 12-4 run over the next threeplus minutes for a 41-18 contest — the largest lead of the ﬁrst half. Noah Litchﬁeld converted an old-fashioned three-point play with 23.8 seconds remaining, allowing Wahama to close to within 41-21 at the intermission. Trimble committed only two ﬁrst quarter turnovers and hit 16-of26 shot attempts in the ﬁrst half, which included a 3-of-8 effort from behind the arc. The White Falcons, conversely, coughed up nine ﬁrst half turnovers and netted 9-of-20 shot attempts — including a 2-of-4 effort from threepoint range. The Tomcats also held a 12-9 edge on the boards at the break, with both teams hauling in two offensive rebounds apiece. Wahama was never closer than 20 points in the third stanza and the guests claimed their largest lead of the game following a Tyler Slack basket with 1:18 left, making it a 55-29 contest. WHS reeled off six straight points to close the third quarter trailing 55-35. The White Falcons twice cut the deﬁcit down to 14 points, the last of which came after a Kearns basket made it a 63-49 contest with 1:49 left. Trimble closed regulation with a small 4-2 run to wrap up the 16-point triumph. The Tomcats outrebounded WHS by a 29-25 overall margin, but the hosts got the upper hand on the offensive boards by a 9-7 edge. Wahama connected on 23-of-52 ﬁeld goal attempts for 44 percent, including a 2-of-10 effort from behind the arc for 20 percent.

Noah Litchﬁeld paced WHS with 16 points, followed by Travis Kearns with 14 points and Mason Hildreth with eight markers. Litchﬁeld and Hildreth also hauled in a team-best six rebounds apiece, while Kearns grabbed ﬁve caroms. Jacob Lloyd was next with six points and Philip Hoffman chipped in three markers. Randy Lantz and Isaiah Pauley concluded the scoring with two points each. Trimble netted 26-of50 ﬁeld goal tries for 52 percent, including a 3-of9 effort from behind the arc for 33 percent. The guests committed nine turnovers and also went 12-of-16 at the charity stripe for 75 percent. Randy Hixson led THS with a game-high 24 points, followed by Tyler Slack with 15 points and Jacob Hardy with 12 markers. Kamron Curry and Cameron Kittle concluded the winning tally with respective efforts of 10 and six points. Hardy hauled in a game-high eight rebounds for the Tomcats.

(AP) — The highscoring offenses of the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers appear poised to provide a memorable send-off for the Georgia Dome. Factor in the teams’ leaky defenses, and Sunday’s NFC championship game could surge past the unusually high over/under of 60½ points set by the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. The Falcons led the NFL in scoring . Even so, they know it won’t be easy to keep up with the scoring pace set by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. “It’s obvious they’ve got a stud at quarterback,” Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews said Tuesday. “We’ve played a lot of great teams with great players at quarterback. … Whatever it takes, we just have to put up as many points as we need to.” Matthews said the weekly message from offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is “I don’t know if we’re going to have to win 6-3 or 40-37.” Of those alternatives, 40-37 appears to be the more likely target, in part because the Atlanta and Green Bay defenses don’t dominate the statistics like their offensive counterparts. Shanahan is a leading candidate in the San Francisco 49ers’ coaching search. The game will be the Falcons’ farewell to the Georgia Dome, which will be demolished in the offseason. The Falcons will move into the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next season. The Falcons and Packers ﬁnished the regular season ranked 28th and 31st, respectively, in pass defense. The Falcons allowed 25.4 points per game to rank 27th, only a few spots below the Packers (24.2) at 21st. The Falcons beat the Packers 33-32 in Atlanta on Oct. 30. Atlanta led the NFL with 33.8 points per game. Green Bay linebacker Nick Perry said the goal will be to prevent big plays. “They are very explosive,” Perry said. “When we look at the ﬁlm, we have to make sure we don’t give up those explosive plays. Everything lives off that. They are good at what they do. We are going to look at the ﬁlm and go over it and make sure we prevent as much as we can of those guys giving up explosive plays.” The Falcons advanced with a 36-20 divisional playoff win over Seattle last week. Green Bay’s offense also rolled in a 34-31 win over Dallas. Despite the unimpressive season totals, Atlanta allowed fewer than 20 points in four of its last six regular-season games. But none of those games were against Rodgers. The Falcons have faced Russell Wilson, Cam Newton and Drew Brees in their past three games. Asked who compares with Rodgers, Falcons linebacker De’Vondre Campbell had a quick answer. “Nobody. It’s just that simple,” Campbell said. “The things that he can do, it’s just amazing to see. There’s no one I can compare him to.” The Falcons are led by MVP candidate Matt Ryan , the All-Pro who ranked second in the NFL in yards passing and TD passes. Atlanta’s offense featured depth, as Ryan threw scoring passes to a record 13 players during the season, and balance with running back Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Atlanta’s offense provides nice support for its defense, but cornerback Jalen Collins insisted Tuesday he doesn’t want to have to rely on that strength. “You don’t go in the game thinking you’re going to give up hundreds of yards and a bunch of points,” Collins said. “We’re looking forward to trying to limit the points as best we can and give our offense an opportunity to put points on the board.” Beamer among 3 new playoff selection committee members committee chairman and his term will run through February 2018. Beamer, Smith and Howard replace Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

Smith is in his 12th year as athletic director at Ohio State after serving as AD at Arizona State, Eastern Michigan and Iowa State.

Howard was a Rhodes scholar, attending Oxford University from 199194. “All three played college football.

But as dangerous as dehydration can be, many cases are entirely preventable. The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink enough water. When the body does not take in as much water as it puts out, it can become dehydrated. People who live in warm climates or in elevated altitudes may lose more water than those who do not. In addition, water loss is accelerated during strenuous exercise, highlighting the emphasis men and women must place on drinking enough water during their workouts.

Dieting fads come and go, but water is a mainstay for people who want to control their caloric intake in an effort to maintain healthy weights. Water has zero calories, so reaching for a bottle or glass of water instead of a soda, lemonade or another caloric beverage can help people keep the pounds off. A study from researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center found that even diet soda enhances weight gain by as much as 41 percent.

But the school recommends applying a hydrating moisturizer within two minutes of leaving the bath or shower and drinking at least eight glasses of water a day to ensure the skin is getting enough water.

But when these feelings are prolonged or interfere with daily life, they may be symptomatic of depression. Depression can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or economic status. The National Institute of Mental Health says around 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Understanding depression can help those dealing with the disorder. I What is depression? Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. The Mayo Clinic says depression can produce a variety of symptoms and affect the way a person thinks, acts and feels. Symptoms may include changes in sleeping patterns, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, unexplained aches and SDLQV��DQG�GLIÀFXOW\�FRQFHQWUDWLQJ� factors are common among those who have the condition. People with clinical depression appear to have physical changes in their brains. In addition, naturally occurring brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters likely play a role in depression. The Mayo Clinic states changes in the function and effect of these neurotransmitters and how they interact with neurocircuits involved in maintaining mood stability may play D�VLJQLÀFDQW�UROH�LQ�GHSUHVVLRQ�DQG�LWV� treatment. In addition to biological factors in the brain, hormones can impact rates of depression or even trigger it. These hormone shifts may be a leading reason why women have higher incidence rates of depression than men. Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives also have the condition. Therefore, those with a family history of depression may be more likely to get it than those without such a connection. What causes depression? Although the cause of depression remains a mystery, certain distinguishing 'LIIHUHQW�W\SHV�RI�GHSUHVVLRQ There are different types of depression. A person may have a single bout of Understanding T seasonal affective disorder major depression or recurring episodes.

Few people enjoy turning the clocks back in autumn as much as they enjoy turning them forward in spring.

Some people easily adjust to less daylight, while others experience a condition known as season affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is a disorder related to changes in seasons. According to the Mayo Clinic, the majority of people with SAD begin to experience symptoms in the fall and continue battling those symptoms throughout the winter. The end of Daylight Saving Time occurs in early November, and the onset of SAD symptoms is no doubt related to the decreased exposure to daylight many people experience once clocks have been turned back. Those who suspect they might be susceptible to SAD can get a better grasp of the condition so they are capable of recognizing and responding to it should any symptoms appear. What is SAD?

Many people are surprised to discover that oral hygiene plays an integral role in overall health. Research indicates that oral health mirrors the condition of the body as a whole. Also, regular dental visits can alert dentists about overall health and pinpoint if a person is at a risk for chronic disease.

Heart disease According to the Academy of General Dentistry, there is a distinct relationship between periodontal disease and conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Joint teams at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, found that people with bleeding gums from poor dental hygiene could have an increased risk of heart disease. Bacteria from the mouth is able to enter the bloodstream when bleeding gums are present. That bacteria can stick to platelets and subsequently form EORRG�FORWV��7KLV�LQWHUUXSWV�WKH�ÁRZ�RI�EORRG� to the heart and may trigger a heart attack. %UXVKLQJ�DQG�ÁRVVLQJ�WZLFH�GDLO\�DQG�ULQVLQJ� with mouthwash can remove bacteria and keep gums healthy.

Gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease, as well as advanced gum disease, affects more than 75 percent of the American population. Dental decay can lead to its own share of pain. Maintaining a healthy mouth can fend off decay and infections, thereby preventing pain. Pancreatic cancer In 2007, the Harvard School of Public Health reported a link between gum disease and pancreatic cancer. In the ongoing study, 51,000 men were followed and data was collected beginning in 1986. The Harvard researchers found that men with a history of gum disease had a 64 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with men who had never had gum disease. The greatest risk for pancreatic cancer among this group was in men with recent tooth loss.

According to Colgate and the American Dental Association, failure to brush DQG�ÁRVV�WHHWK� regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma. Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath.

D etermining the nutritional value of certain foods can be a tricky business. Many foods can be enjoyed in moderation, and labeling them as “good” or “bad” might lead to negative connotations. In addition, food labels change from time to time as nutritionists and doctors learn more about nutrition and revise their opinions on certain items. One food type that has remained off the bad foods radar for quite some time is protein. Protein sources are largely touted as the be-all and end-all in nutrition. But even seemingly infallible protein should be eaten in moderation, and even then only if the right sources of protein are selected. Protein is an essential building block of good nutrition that is found throughout the body and makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions.

Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life. People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs. The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. The following are some of the common types of mobility devices available for purchase. Canes: Canes are handheld devices that provide a little extra stability or support to weakened limbs. Canes are easily transported and can assist those who need only a little help. 6WDQGDUG�ZDONHUV� Also known as medical walkers, standard walkers offer substantial support and must be lifted to move.
