According to Gallia Board of Elections Deputy Director Dale Whitt, six candidates filed to run for a place on the Gallipolis City Commission as three seats will be open to vote upon. Seven would have had to file for a primary to take place. Gallipolis Municipal Judge Eric Mulford has no other Republican opponent running against him for Gallipolis Municipal Court Judge, so he will automatically be a candidate in the fall election. Independent candidates can still file up until the day before May 2 to run. The last day to file for anything that would have been in a primary election was Feb 16, including ballot issues. Candidates running for a shot at Gallipolis City Commissioner are Albert “Tony” Gallagher, Beau Sang, Cody Caldwell, Aaron Buckley, Erin Buckley and Matt Johnson. Board of elections members are set to meet Tuesday and discuss whether special elections will be held in the spring for a Rio Grande fire and policing operating levy as well as Gallipolis’ attempt to pass a one percent income tax increase to fund police operating needs. Whether special elections are held will be up to the board and the individual town officials. Gallipolis City Commissioners voted to amend the ballot language earlier which would have said “A majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage. Shall the Ordinance providing for a one percent (1%) increase on income for public safety operations and capital expenses … be passed?” Capital expenses was struck from the language of previous passage attempts. The tax issue has previously failed twice. Gallipolis residents voted down the municipal income one percent tax increase, 598 to 303, during the May primary last year, and again, 725 to 652, during the 2016 November election. Should the tax issue pass this time, it would increase the income tax already gathered in the city to two percent, as it was previously only one percent. City officials have cut and combined positions in an attempt to save money over the last few years, citing major budgetary problems due to cuts in state spending and legislation changes. Officials have said they are concerned that they are unsure they can make further cuts to policing equipment and personnel without a drop in “services” to city residents. The income tax money would be placed in a special fund solely for Gallipolis Police Department spending, according to past city commission meetings.

Among those at the event was Meigs County Victim’s Assistance Director Theda Petrasko (left). Effort underway for crime victim’s bill of rights Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Ensuring the rights of a person who is the victim of a crime is the goal behind a ballot campaign aiming to place a crime victim bill of rights on the November ballot across the state of Ohio. A kickoff news conference was held earlier this week in Columbus for Marsy’s Law for Ohio, with a number of crime victims, advocates, prosecutors and lawenforcement officials in attendance, including Meigs County Victim’s Assistance Director Theda Petrasko. A news release from the kickoff event states that if voters approve the proposal, which would give victim’s equal rights under the law, Marsy’s Law for Ohio would provide additional protections in the constitution to crime victims and their immediate families. “One of my key roles as county prosecutor is to be an ally and advocate for victims from all walks of life,” said Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien. “By placing guarantees into the Ohio Constitution that a victim’s rights will be protected, Marsy’s Law for Ohio will be another important tool for prosecutors in the battle to help crime victims.” See MARSY’S | 5A Easter Parade includes church entries Staff Report POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A unique parade is returning in April with churches from around the area recreating Biblical scenes associated with the Easter observance.

POMEROY — Two men accused of attempting to meet teenage girls for sex, as well as allegedly sending them photos have pleaded innocent to the charges against them. James M. Morger, 29, of Loveland (Hamilton County) and Michael B. Smith, 22, of Coolville were arraigned in separate hearings in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Friday afternoon. Morger was represented at the hearing by John Kaspar of Lebanon, Ohio, whom his family retained to represent him in the case. Kaspar has previously represented Morger, according to state- ments made by Kaspar in court. Morger is charged with fourthdegree felony charges of importuning and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. According to previous Sentinel reports, Morger was arrested in mid-January in Middleport after allegedly driving there from the Cincinnati area to meet a 14-yearold girl to engage in sex. The disseminating charge relates to Morger allegedly sending a picture of his genitalia to a 14-year old female, while the importuning charge falls under the classification as law enforcement posing as the 14 year old whom Morger allegedly thought he was soliciting for sex. Prosecutor James K. Stanley requested that bond for Morger be set at $100,000 without 10 percent permitted, which was granted by Judge I. Carson Crow. Kaspar stated that Morger is a father of two children who live with him and is not a flight risk should he be released. Kaspar also noted that the state has possession of Morger’s vehicle which also would go toward him not being a flight risk. Kaspar stated that in representing Morger previously he always appeared for court. Crow stated that Morger’s prior record could make him a flight risk. Both attorneys confirmed that Morger does have a prior record, although specifics of that See CHARGES | 2A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, February 19, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS OBITUARIES TERRY RANDAL ‘SHAG’ ROTHGEB GALLIPOLIS — Terry Randal “Shag” Rothgeb, 55, of Gallipolis, passed away on February 9, 2017, born September 1, 1961, the son of the late Randell “Randy” and Elizabeth “Libby” Kingery Rothgeb who survives in Gallipolis.

Annie Glenn turned 97 on Friday. On Thursday, she made her first public appearance since her husband’s memorial service, a reception at Ohio State University’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs.

URG to host Suicide Prevention Walk “This is a cause I am very passionate about, both professionally and personally. We walk to raise awareness about this important health issue. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 15-24 and the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is preventable,” Bonice said. “We hope that by walking, we save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.” The Rio Out of the Darkness Campus Walk is one of more than 125 Out of the Darkness Campus Walks happening nationwide this year. The walks are expected to unite more than twenty-five thousand walkers and raise over a million dollars for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s efforts. The organization is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. AFSP works to create a culture educated about mental health through community programs, develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy, and provides support for those affected by suicide. CEO Robert Gebbia said AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states with programs and events nationwide. “These walks are about turning hope into action,” said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. “Suicide is a serious problem, but it’s a problem we can solve. The research has shown us how to fight suicide, and if we keep up the fight, the science is only going to get better, our culture will get smarter about mental health, and we’ll be able to save more people from dying from depression and other mental health conditions.” Registration for the Rio Out of the Darkness Campus Walk is already under way for both students and members of surrounding communities. Bonice said the goal for Rio’s walk is to raise $3,000 for suicide prevention efforts. “When I speak to groups, I ask how many people have been affected by suicide in some way and almost every single person raises their hand. This is a major reason why we need to create awareness and raise these funds for prevention efforts,” Bonice said. “I’m glad our students care so much about spreading awareness and being a part of this community to help get the message out there to others.” To register for the walk, please visit www.rio.edu/accessibility.

And the biggest challenge to those individuals either locally, or in Columbus and Charleston who are in charge of making a budget is to make sure, in the rush to craft a workable plan, not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. In other words, don’t zero out everything viewed as expendable by others. West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice brought “The decisions his business sensibilthese legislators will make... we hope, ity to his first State of the State address last be reached with the week, painting a dire welfare of all citizens picture of trying to operate government in mind and some with a steep revenue consideration for gap.

While we are told federal support is only a small part of the funding package for PBS and National Public Radio, the state share is an important component along with contributions from members and supporters. The investment made in something like public TV and radio is as much of a marketing tool for the Mountain State as it is for Ohio, as regional programming reaches thousands of viewers and listeners. The same applies to cultural events, museums, parks, memorials and all of the things that usually suffer in tough economic times. These are the features that make our states unique and attract people to sample the individual delights offered by the region. Not to mention business expansion, development and tourism that generates more money for local and state government to improve the quality of life for citizens. Yet, we admit that this chore of balancing need with available resources gets more difficult with time, especially on the local level when addressing public safety and the drug epidemic plaguing our communities. We are well aware of Huntington’s dilemma after laying off two dozen police officers and firefighters due to lack of resources. Officials in Gallipolis are again asking voters to approve an increase in the municipal income tax to properly staff and equip its police force. Even Ohio Gov. John Kasich has asked for an increase in the state sales tax to flesh out the cash supply for his twoyear budget proposal. And yes, we are again asked to help maintain a level of service we’ve come to expect by digging further into our pockets. Locally, when a tax issue is on the ballot for these purposes, the decision to support it or not is yours. In Ohio and West Virginia, the choice to pass along state-level tax and fee increases lies with the wisdom of our elected representatives. The decisions these legislators will make in the coming months will, we hope, be reached with the welfare of all citizens in mind and some consideration for the smaller things we enjoy, including such diversions as local parks and watching legislative proceedings on our PBS stations. Meeting the needs of citizens in services and infrastructure is paramount when crafting a public budget, and if reducing or doing without the niceties occurs, let it be understood that funding the basics had to come first. It is then up to us and our leadership to work toward a more prosperous situation that allows for government support of the finer points to flourish again. Or something close to it, anyway.

What happened to liberal Democrats, and their concerns about civil liberties and government surveillance of American citizens? Liberals once hated the CIA. And they loved the Russians. Yeah, you can look it up. And their liberal friends in liberal Hollywood made movie after movie about the dangers of The Deep State and its awesome surveillance powers. One of the best was “Three Days of the Condor,” with liberal icon Robert Redford fighting the malevolent CIA boss John Houseman, who longed for “the clarity” of world war. Years later, Edward Snowden became the liberal demigod and WikiLeaks was their winged chariot of truth and beauty. Liberals fretted about the powers of the intelligence community being used on private citizens for political reasons. So what happened to them? What happened to the ideals of these liberal Democrats? Donald Trump was elected president, that’s what happened to them. And now you can clear- with Punch and ly see the change Judy entertaining in them as Trump’s John Kass the small folk.

It’s as if of Flynn speaking with this episode were street the Russian ambassador theater in olde England, — before Trump was inaugurated president. The conversations were recorded during routine monitoring of foreign officials’ communications in the U.S. The American public should know what this is about. I have a hard time believing Flynn was a traitor. But I don’t have a hard time believing that arrogance and foolishness are necessary prerequisites for a hard public fall. What’s astounding about this is that news reports on Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador also mentioned something else. They mentioned the existence of many intelligence community sources, and these many intelligence sources presumably read the transcripts and leaked their contents to reporters. That’s what is amazing. That the intelligence community records the conversations of a private citizen and leaks to damage and weaken a president.

Today’s Highlights in History: On Feb. 19, 1942, during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which authorized the creation of U.S. military areas “from which any or all persons may be excluded”; the order was used mostly to relocate and intern people of Japanese ancestry, including American-born citizens, although fewer numbers of people of German and Italian backgrounds were also singled out. Imperial Japanese warplanes raided the Australian city of Darwin; at least 243 people were killed. On this date: In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1915, during World War I, British and French warships launched their initial attack on Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, a strait in northwestern Turkey. (The Gallipoli Campaign that followed proved disastrous for the Allies.) In 1917, Carson McCullers, author of “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” and “The Member of the Wedding,” was born Lula Carson Smith in Columbus, Georgia. In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1945, Operation Detachment began during World War II as some 30,000 U.S. Marines began landing on Iwo Jima, where they began a successful month-long battle to seize control of the island from Japanese forces. In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece granting Cyprus its independence. In 1963, “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan was first published by W.W. Norton & Co. In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford, calling the issuing of Executive Order 9066 in 1942 “a sad day in American history,” signed a proclamation formally confirming its termination. In 1984, the Winter Olympics closed in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. In 1986, the U.S. Senate approved, 83-11, the Genocide Convention, an international treaty outlawing “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,” nearly 37 years after the pact was first submitted for ratification. In 1997, Deng Xiaoping (dung shah-oh-ping), the last of China’s major Communist revolutionaries, died at age 92. In 2008, an ailing Fidel Castro resigned the Cuban presidency after nearly a half-century in power; his brother Raul was later named to succeed him.

Under Ohio law, the signatures are due July 5. The Marsy’s Law movement began in 1983, when Marsy Nicholas was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in California. Only a week after her murder, Marsy’s mother and brother, Dr. Henry T. Nicholas, walked into a grocery store where they saw the accused murderer. The family, who had just visited Marsy’s grave, had no idea the accused murderer had been released on bail. Dr. Nicholas founded Marsy’s Law for All to ensure the re-victimization his family experienced after being thrust into the criminal justice process does not happen to anyone else. The organization works to provide victims and their families across the country with constitutional protections and equal rights. Dr. Nicholas is funding the Ohio effort in its entirety.

Liberal From page 4A Ohio From page 3A has rejected a lawsuit by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine that challenged what DeWine called an unconstitutional health care tax levied on state and local governments. The 2015 lawsuit argued there was no precedent allowing the collection of $6.25 million the previous year from government entities and nothing in the federal health care law that allowed such a tax. At issue is a provision in the law permitting tax assessments against health insurance companies and certain employers who offer self-insured group health plans to help keep premiums affordable. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday the tax was constitutional. A DeWine spokeswoman said the decision was being reviewed. Lawsuit parties include Shawnee State, Bowling Green and Youngstown state universities and the University of Akron. Suspect in slaying of teenage Ohio girl pleads not guilty CLEVELAND (AP) — A registered sex offender who could face the death penalty for the slaying of a 14-year-old Cleveland girl has pleaded not guilty. History A judge on Thursday refused to set bond for 44-year-old Christopher Whitaker, of South Euclid. He faces charges of aggravated murder, kidnapping, rape and abuse of a corpse in the death of Alianna DeFreeze. The girl’s body was found in an abandoned home in Cleveland on Jan. 29, three days after her mother reported her missing when she didn’t arrive at school. Whitaker was arrested Feb. 2. Authorities have said his DNA was matched to evidence from the slaying. Whitaker’s attorney didn’t return messages seeking comment. Ohio man enters guilty plea in air base security breach DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of causing the evacuation of two buildings at Ohio’s largest military base has pleaded guilty in a deal that dismissed several of the charges against him. Edward Novak entered guilty pleas Thursday in federal court in Dayton to charges of trespass, driving under the influence and disorderly conduct. Other charges including assault, making false alarms and fleeing a police officer were dropped. Messages were left for Novak’s public defender seeking comment.

Now Trump is in open, public war with American intelligence, and liberals cheer on the intelligence community leakers. Trump declared his war with American intelligence on his Twitter account and then did so in person as he stood in the White House at a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I think he’s (Flynn) been treated very, very unfairly by the media — as I call it, the fake media, in many cases — and I think it’s really a sad thing that he was treated so badly,” Trump said. “I think in addition to that, from intelligence, papers are being leaked, things are being leaked,” said the president, adding that such leaks were a “criminal action, criminal act.” The president’s references to Flynn are awkward and politically self-serving. But the president’s reference to the intelligence community — in his government — is an open declaration of war. And it’s dangerous. Democrats are on the outs, so they love this story about Flynn. It feeds into their belief that Trump is some tool of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. It’s not whether they believe it that matters. What matters is that they see a way to sear this deeply upon the American mind before the 2018 elections. Democrats will continue to push this theme, even if it means celebrating a possible takedown of administration officials by American intelligence, and the many sources of those reports. So why aren’t liberals more concerned, when once they’d be outraged about authoritarian tactics? For the same reasons they weren’t concerned about presidential overreach when their guy was president, with his imperial pen and his phone. Because for many Democrats, just like for many Republicans, it’s all about power, isn’t it? And ideals — even those which help keep the republic — be damned.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Not a great start, not a great finish, but what happened in the middle was truly magical for the Marauders. The Meigs boys basketball team outscored Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division guest River Valley by 21 points over the middle two quarters, as the Marauders capped off the regular season with a 61-50 victory, on Friday night inside Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. Both teams held a lead in the opening quarter, which ended with the score tied at 10. The Marauders (14-8, 9-3 TVC Ohio) — winners of four straight — took their second lead of the night with 5:07 left in the first half, at 15-12, and the hosts never trailed again. Meigs led by as much as 13 in the second quarter and took a 31-20 advantage into the break. MHS led by as much as 22, at 49-27, in the third quarter, but River Valley (8-13, 3-8) trimmed the score to 51-30 headed into the finale. Within the opening minute of the fourth quarter, Meigs pushed its lead to a gamehigh 23 points, at 53-30. The Raiders ended the game on a 20-to-8 run, but the Marauders claimed the 61-50 victory. “We tried to get our guys out of there at the end so nothing happened, it was a pretty rough game,” MHS head coach Ed Fry said. “It was a big night and a good night for our seniors. With senior night, they’re either going to come out and play really well, or they’re going to just stink. They came out and did what they needed to do tonight, so I was real proud of them.

Along that same line, the University of Rio Grande’s brand new women’s bowling program had yet to officially secure its first signee. But with one stroke of the pen shortly before noon, both of those issues were alleviated. Macy Detty, a 5-foot-8 senior standout in the Panthers’ four-year-old program, signed a letter-of-intent with the RedStorm during a brief ceremony at LeElla Lanes - the place where she’s honed her skills under the tutelage of coaches Kaleb Taylor and Ron Amore, Sr. Detty is a three-time All-South Central Ohio League first team honoree. She finished first in both sectional and district play as a sophomore, while finishing 30th in the state that same year. “I’m very excited to get to continue bowling at the college level,” Detty said. “I absolutely love the sport and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me.” Detty, who carries the high average in her youth travel league and who had a 202 average in SCOL play this year, said the chance to bowl beyond high school is something she’s been focused on since her prep career began. “I’ve been bowling since I was eight years old and getting the chance to continue is truly a dream come true,” said Detty. “I really believe with the coaches at Rio Grande that I’ll be able to continue to learn and further myself as a bowler.” Rio Grande Brett Little is equally as happy to have Detty in his program. “We’re excited to have Macy as our first signee,” he said. “She’ll be a strong, influential leader for our young team. We forsee great potential in her as her bowling skills continue to grow over the next few years.” Detty, who plans to major in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, said she’s excited to get her collegiate career underway. “Hopefully, I’ve got some helpful knowledge about bowling and can give as much support as possible to my future teammates in order See BOWLING | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Monday, February 20 Boys Basketball (10) River Valley vs. (7) Alexander at Jackson HS, 8 p.m. Parkersburg Christian at OVCS, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball Point Pleasant at Sissonville, 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 21 Boys Basketball (9) Green vs. (8) Eastern at Meigs HS, 7 p.m. Mountian State at Hannan, 7 p.m. Point Pleasant at Lincoln County, 7:30 Southern at Trimble, 7:30 Wednesday, February 22 Boys Basketball (10) South Gallia vs. (7) Belpre at Meigs HS, 6:15 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Gallia Academy senior Miles Cornwell (2) releases a shot attempt in front of a Portsmouth defender during the second half of Friday night’s OVC boys basketball contest in Centenary, Ohio. Blue Devils sweep Portsmouth, 81-57 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — They appear to be peeking at the right time, but Friday night the Blue Devils were also pecking at the right time. Junior Justin Peck scored a season-high 34 points while guiding the Gallia Academy boys basketball team to an 81-57 victory over visiting Portsmouth in an Ohio Valley Conference contest on Senior Night in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (166, 10-4 OVC) honored seniors Miles Cornwell and Dondre Armstrong before the game for their years of service and dedication to the program, then the hosts proceeded to ‘Peck’ away at the Trojans in the wire-to-wire triumph. Peck scored 12 points in the opening stanza as part of the Blue and White’s 20-9 first quarter surge, but PHS (16-6, 9-5) limited the 6-foot-5 inside presence to just four points during a 22-18 second quarter run that allowed the Blue and White to secure a 38-31 cushion at the break. With 6-foot-11 freshman Zach Loveday missing the final two-plus minutes of the third and the opening 4:09 of the finale due to foul trouble, Gallia Academy continued to ride Peck’s hot hand inside — which helped the hosts ultimately wear down the Trojans. Daniel Jordan opened the third stanza with an old-fashioned three-point play that allowed the guests to close to within 38-34 just 28 seconds in, but the Red and Blue ultimately never came closer. Peck scored 10 points as part of a 16-7 run over the next 6:30 for its largest lead of the third at 54-41, but Reese Johnson answered with a basket with 23 seconds remaining as PHS closed the gap down to 54-43 headed into the fourth. Mike Malone capped a small 8-5 Portsmouth run with a bucket at the 5:24 mark that cut the deficit down to 59-51. The Trojans, however, were never closer down the stretch. Gallia Academy’s ensuing possession resulted in a lob pass that Peck somehow converted into a layup, which led to quite a roar from the home side of the gym. That basket also started a 22-6 charge over the final 4:46 of regulation and GAHS also scored the final eight points of the game — six of which came on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting effort by Armstrong. The Blue Devils picked up their fourth consecutive win and also claimed a season sweep of the Trojans after posting a 48-43 decision in Scioto County back on January 20. GAHS also secured sole possession of second place in the final OVC standings, while PHS fell to third out of eight teams. Fourth-year GAHS coach Gary Harrison was very pleased with the way things played out over the course of the night, much like he has been for most of the regular season. And the scary thing is … better days might still be coming. “This one was for second place in the league, and we were predicted to finish last in the league at the beginning of the year, so this was an unbelievable night for the kids and our program,” Harrison said. “We’ve won 10 of our last 12 games and I really think that we are starting to peak at the right time. We’ve met a lot of our regular season goals, but our main goal at the beginning of the year was to get back to the Convo … and that’s what we are going to start focusing on right now. “As for the festivities tonight, both Miles and Dondre mean a lot to this program and to me. I’ve coached both of those great young men since they were in seventh grade. They are good leaders and good role models, so I’m glad that we were able to send them out with a win.” Gallia Academy made four of its 30 total field goals from behind the arc and also went 17-of-25 at See DEVILS | 3B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, February 19, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Eagles avenge rival Tornadoes By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — They are known at Southern High School as the ‘Hustlin’ Tornadoes. But, on Friday night, it was all about the visiting Eastern Eagles and the on-fire Facemyers. Spearheaded by a combined 44 points from Jett and Sharp Facemyer, the Eagles seized control early and held on for dear life late —en route to capturing a critical 59-56 TriValley Conference Hocking Division boys basketball tilt. Eastern led for the final 27 minutes and 15 seconds, and even upped its advantage to a pair of 13-point cushions (47-34 and 48-35) in the third quarter. However, the archrival Tornadoes charged back, and doubled up the Eagles 18-9 in the final quarter to make the final few minutes most interesting. After Southern’s Tylar Blevins scored with 13-and-ahalf seconds left to trim the Tornado deficit to 57-56, Jett Facemyer then turned the ball over — and Trey McNickle made the steal for Southern. But the Tornadoes turned the ball over by throwing a pass out of bounds — the last of several Southern giveaways for the night. Facemyer then quickly redeemed himself, as the Eagles — operating underneath the Southern basket and with only four seconds left, set up in a tight four-man stack formation with Corbett Catlett on the inbounds. Facemyer broke away from the stack, Catlett hit him in stride with a pass past midcourt, and Facemyer made a buzzer-beating layup to set off a wild Eastern celebration in Racine. “The previous outof-bounds play, they (Tornadoes) were playing in front of Jett (Facemyer). I told Jett that if they are in front of you, go long, and we’ll look and see if we can get a runout,” said Eastern coach Jeremy Hill. “You kind of don’t want to do it, because you’re afraid the inbounder will throw it too far or the pass gets intercepted. But we felt like with four seconds, a runout in that situation, for some might be too risky, but we felt it was the best move for us.” While that call might have been the game’s best move, it was arguably the Eagles’ best win of the season. Eastern played particularly well for the first three quarters, including the middle two stanzas, when it outscored Eastern scoring. “We’ve relied all season long on Jett to lead us to victories. But that means that sometimes, everybody else doesn’t get involved as much as they should. But the last three or four games, we’ve been preaching for Jett to get his other teammates involved in the game, and to understand that it will all come back around to him,” said Hill. However, speaking of comebacks, the Tornadoes rallied from a 50-38 deficit following the third frame to within 53-52 on four consecutive Rogers free throws. With a minute remaining, Southern —trailing 55-52 — saw a golden opportunity get away when it missed two foul shots and a rebound putback. Rogers scored to make it 55-54, but Sharp Facemyer made a pair of double-bonus Paul Boggs photos | OVP Sports Eastern’s Jett Facemyer drives to the basket against three Southern defenders during Friday night’s Tri-Valley Conference free throws at the 22-second mark for another three-point Hocking Division boys basketball game at Southern High School. lead (57-54).

That’s because the visiting Rebels, in being outscored 53-32 over the final three quarters, lost to the Miller Falcons 63-43 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division boys basketball tilt inside Dunlap Gymnasium in Hemlock. South Gallia did lead 11-10 after the initial canto, but was outscored 14-9 in the second, 17-10 in the third and finally 22-13 in the fourth. The Falcons — as a result — charged ahead 24-20 at halftime, then extended their advantage to 41-30 following three quarters. While Miller held a 19-16 advantage in total field goals, including a 5-3 edge in threepointers, the Falcons enjoyed a parade to the free-throw line. They meshed 20-of-27 for the entire game, including 7-of-9 in the pull-away fourth. The Rebels, meanwhile, only attempted 17 —and hit nine. With the loss, South Gallia concludes the regular season at 3-19 — and 2-14 in the TVCHocking. Its only league wins were over winless Federal Hocking. Miller moved to 10-12 in closing its regular campaign, and to 10-6 in the league. Caleb Henry, on six total field goals and 6-of9 foul shots, had a game-high 19 points to pace the Rebels. Josh Henry had four baskets for eight points, while Nick Klaiber and Austin Day dropped in five points apiece. Caleb Henry had five points and Josh Henry two field goals for the Rebels’ second-period points. Austin Stapleton sank a three-pointer and split a pair of free throws, while Eli Ellis added a third-frame field goal. Klaiber and Caleb Henry also connected for trifectas. Miller’s Carson Starlin tied Henry for gamehigh honors with 19 — on three twos, two threes and 7-of-9 charity shots. Seattle Compston, with 11 first-half points, collected six field goals and 2-of-2 free throws for 15. The Rebels will now enter Division IV sectional tournament play — on Wednesday (Feb. 22) with Belpre at Meigs High School.

The boxes were installed a few years earlier by an enterprising Boy Scout troop, and over the years I have routinely inspected them during the winter; which involves cleaning out the old nesting material, replacing any damaged boards and making them ready for the upcoming year. I call it renovating public In The housing units. Open Upon inspection I noticed that one of Jim the posts was bent over, with another Freeman one broken off, moved and reinstalled with the birdhouse about three feet off of the ground. None of them were what I would consider predator-resistant. So this is how I went about replacing the posts, and it is something you can do too. What I decided to do, with some help from Meigs SWCD program manager Steve Jenkins, was replace See BLUEBIRD | 6B Devils From page 1B the free throw line for 81 percent.

Cornwell, Kaden Thomas and Gage Harrison each contributed three points, while Blaine Carter wrapped up the winning tally with two points. The Trojans netted five of 21 total field goals from three-point range and also went 10-of-13 at the charity stripe for 77 percent. Kendal Reynolds paced PHS with 15 points before fouling out of the contest with just under three minutes left, while Jordan and Malone respectively chipped in 14 points and 10 markers. D.J.

Had we been healthy, things may have been different. “At the same time, these guys have been to state the last three years and have had winning records during each of their seasons here at Ohio Valley Christian. It’s tough now, but they will have a lot of great things to look back on as they get older. They should be proud of what they have accomplished.” The Defenders netted four of their 20 total field goals from behind the arc and also went 4-of-6 at the free throw line for 67 percent. Austin Ragan and Justin Beaver led the hosts with 16 points apiece, followed by Hollis Morrison with a dozen markers. Dubs and Dante Lewis rounded the scoring out with two points apiece.

Meigs From page 1B some steals and run outs.” For the game, River Valley won the rebounding battle by a 38-27 clip, including 12-of-9 on the offensive end. However, the Raiders committed 30 turnovers, while Meigs gave the ball away just 13 times. The Marauders claimed advantages in assists (12-to-11) and steals (19-to-8), while RVHS held a 5-to-1 edge in blocked shots. The Maroon and Gold shot 18-of-54 (33.3 percent) from the field, including 5-of-16 (31.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, River Valley shot 20-of-49 (40.8 percent), including just 1-of14 (7.1 percent) from deep. From the free throw line, Meigs shot 20-of-32 (62.5 percent) and RVHS was 9-of-19 (47.4 percent). “Good job Coach Fry, that defense just affects you a lot,” RVHS head coach Bryan Drummond said. “When we played them earlier in the year, they weren’t as good as they were tonight. We got open looks from guys who should be taking them and should be making them. Our press did a nice job, but my guys got a little tired, and my depth is a little lacking.” Meigs had all 11 players mark in the scoring column, led by Luke Musser and Christian Mattox with 10 points apiece. Dillon Mahr scored eight points in the win, Weston Baer added seven, while Garrett Buckley and Zach Bartrum both marked six points. Devon Hawley and Bailey Caruthers each contributed four points to the Marauder cause, Jared Kennedy came in with three points, while Zach Helton scored two and T.J. Williams scored one. For Meigs, Bartrum finished with team-highs of six rebounds, three assists and five steals, while Kennedy grabbed five boards and Baer rejected a shot. River Valley — which was limited due to both illness and injury — was led by Jarret McCarley with 17 points. Next for the Alex Hawley | OVP Sports River Valley junior Patrick Brown (center) drives between Meigs’ Zach Bartrum (left) and Bailey Caruthers (12) during the Marauders’ 61-50 victory, on Friday in Rocksprings. Raiders was Jacob Dovenbarger — who fouled out with 4:57 left in the third quarter — with 11 points, followed by Dustin Barber with 10. Ian Polcyn and Tre Craycraft both scored four points, while Jacob Campbell and Patrick Brown each added two points to the Raider total. Polcyn led the guests on the glass with 10 rebounds, followed by Dovenbarger with nine. McCarley dished out a game-best five assists, while Barber marked three steals and Dovenbarger rejected three shots. The Marauders also defeated RVHS on December 16, by a 55-52 count, in Bidwell. Both teams return to action on the tournament. The seventh-seeded Marauders will face second-seeded Fairfield Union in the Division II sectional final, on Saturday, at Logan High School. “We had a real good game with Fairfield Union last year, we had to foul towards the end and they ended up beating us by 12,” Coach Fry said. “They’re a pretty good team, they’re big, and they have shooters. We have our work cut out for us, but we’ve beat some good teams this year.” FUHS knocked Meigs from the 2016 postseason with a 59-47 sectional final victory. Also in a rematch from last year’s tournament, 10th-seeded Raiders face sixth-seeded Alexander in the Division III sectional semifinal, on Monday, at Jackson High School. “If we limit our turnovers, the game will be close,” Coach Drummond said of his looming sectional semifinal game. “Keep our guys on the floor, limit our turnovers, be smart and then we’ll be fine. We can play with (Alexander), we can beat them, and we can move on. That’s what we’re going to work on tomorrow morning when we get into practice.” The Spartans — who eliminated RVHS by a 68-32 final in last year’s postseason — hold a pair of victories over the Raiders this season, as AHS won 68-38 in Albany on January 10, and 45-32 in Bidwell on January 31. In the final TVC Ohio standings, Meigs finishes tied for second, with Athens, while River Valley claims fifth in the seventeam league. Vinton County wrapped up its second straight league crown with a 96-57 victory over Wellston, on Friday. Prior to the game, as part of senior night festivities, MHS honored seniors Dillon Mahr, Jared Kennedy, Luke Musser, T.J. Williams and Garrett Buckley.

Visiting Meadow Bridge used a 25-10 third quarter run to ultimately secure a 91-71 decision over the Hannan boys basketball team on Thursday night in a nonconference battle between Wildcats in Mason County. Host Hannan (7-13) was playing in its third game in four days and was also on the tail end of a back-to-back after dropping a 68-50 decision at Buffalo just 24 hours earlier. Those things didn’t factor in much during a very competitive first half, but the week’s grind certainly caught up to HHS out of the second half gates. Leading 42-38 at the break, MBHS (9-11) made a 14-5 surge that turned a tightly-contested two-possession contest into a comfortable 59-43 cushion with 2:31 remaining in the third. Andrew Gillispie hit a basket 10 seconds later, allowing Hannan to pull back to within 14 points — but the hosts were never closer in the canto as Meadow Bridge reeled off an 8-3 run to take a Coleman led the hosts with 27 points, with 17 of those coming in the first half. Hudnall was next with 20 points, followed by Malachi Cade and Gillispie respectively adding 12 points and nine markers. Logan Nibert chipped in two points and Chandler Starkey wrapped up the scoring with one point. Coleman and Hudnall also hit five trifectas each in the setback. Meadow Bridge hit four of its 32 total field goals from behind the arc and also went 23-of-32 at the charity stripe for 72 percent. Yates paced the guests with a game-high 38 points, which included 14 two-point field goals and a 10-of-11 effort at the stripe.

(AP) — Shortstop Zack Cozart expected to be manning the middle of the Cincinnati Reds’ infield with veteran Brandon Phillips for the sixth straight season. Instead, the second baseman has been traded, and Cozart knows he could be next. The Reds sent Phillips to Atlanta Bluebird for a couple of pitchers last week, their latest move in a two-year rebuilding program. Cozart is among the few veterans who haven’t been traded away. At age 31, he knows he’s not part of Cincinnati’s longterm future and he could be gone as soon as another team needs a shortstop. From page 3B the hollow metal pipes with t-posts, and then mounting the birdhouses on 1 ½-inch gray PVC electrical conduit, using an appropriate-sized u-bolt to hold them in place. The conduit comes in 10-foot pieces, which I cut into 5-foot pieces, and we drove the posts into the ground deep enough so that the conduit would slip entirely over the metal t-post. The gray PVC conduit presents a slippery surface, challenging to predators – a couple of sprays of glossy tire spray makes it even more slippery. The conduit itself is resistant to sunlight. If you want to move the boxes it should (“should” being the operative word here) be a simple matter to slip the conduit and box back off of the post. Of course any metal pipe or bar small enough to slide the conduit over would work, you probably have a few just lying around. It was one of those freakishly warm and pleasant February days when we installed the new posts – a wonderful day to be outside. The job went well and was over quickly, and more importantly the new posts are secure and aesthetically pleasing, the gray PVC even matches the appearance of the aged bluebird boxes. The birdhouses form a bluebird trail, which is five or more bluebird nesting boxes mounted on fence posts or pipes. The boxes are spaced 100 to 200 yards apart. The Eastern Bluebird is a sparrow-sized, insect-devouring bird that naturally nests in cavities in decaying trees and wooden fence posts, they are a species that benefits greatly from the generosity of human landlords. Invasive European Starlings and House Sparrows compete the native bluebirds for housing. As luck would have it a male eastern bluebird and its mate stopped to inspect one of the recently reinstalled bluebird boxes. It was pretty cool watching a pair of prospective tenants checking out our handiwork. Over the years we seem to have a mix of bluebirds Donna L. Panucci, DDS and tree swallows using the boxes, and the tree swallows are welcome as well – pretty birds, beneficial, and fun to watch. Native, cavity dwelling birds are welcome to use the boxes too. If you are going to put up or renovate your bluebird boxes it is advisable to do it by March 15. More information about constructing bluebird nesting boxes and bluebird trails can be found online. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife pamphlet “Hit the Trail for Bluebirds” can be found on the Division of Wildlife’s website, or at the Meigs SWCD office at 113 East Memorial Drive, Suite D, Pomeroy. Of course you are free to stop by the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area, located on New Lima Road between Rutland and Harrisonville, and watch our bluebirds enjoying their newly renovated homes.

In fact, there Home for Colored Girls” are very few reminders of the old hospital on the in Huntington, W.Va., grounds — memories not and the “West Virginia withstanding. The industrial school was in operation from 1924 until 1956. A brief description of the school appears in the book “West Virginia In History, Life, Literature and Industry,” by Morris Purdy Shawkey and was published in 1928. It describes the school as being “designed for delinquent boys who have not acquired violent habits and provides for such boys the care and training necessary to convert them to good citizenship. Large emphasis is placed upon work for which the farm and the shops provide useful and well adapted tasks in abundance.” The boys who were sent to the school were also known to participate in musical programs at least once or twice a year which were open to the public and put on for families in nearby towns like Clifton, West Columbia and Mason, W.Va. The late Sarah McCoy, formerly of West Columbia, recalled attending the shows which were, as she put it at the time, one of the few times African Americans and white people gathered together. The industrial school property eventually belonged to the West Virginia Department of Agriculture beginning in 1976 - it was inherited from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services. Then, in 2006, American Electric Power purchased the property and the building was demolished in November of that same year. As previously reported, the school met its end much like “colored” drinking fountains and seats saved on the back of the bus - nothing remains of it but an empty field. Whether or not the school retains its urban legend status remains to be seen but at least years after its demolition and over 60 years after its closure, it remains a curiosity for the history books. Though torn down in November 2006, the school lives on across the Internet as one of Mason County’s (allegedly) most haunted sites. The old school still has quite the reputation when it comes to ghosthunters and websites devoted to West Virginia’s “most haunted” — it appears to have a shelf life when it comes to all things that go “bump” in the night. However, over the years, the school was often confused by those on the Internet Jerry Waters | Courtesy This photo, also provided by Jerry Waters, from the website “My West Virginia Home In Photos,” shows the Lakin Industrial School in its prime. with the hospital, located across W.Va. 62 and though some pieces of the old hospital remain, the majority of it was later torn down and the Lakin Nursing Home now stands on that site. Perhaps the “haunted tales” were escalated due to the confusion about which building some ghosthunters were examining - and to be fair, the school looked “foreboding” in its decay prior to its demolition. Lakin Hospital itself has an interesting past, besides being a city within a city for African Americans at a time where housing and medical care were scarce. The late Edith Ross of Point Pleasant, W.Va., passed away earlier this year but was a longtime employee at the hospital from the time it was a segregated facility up to its integration and beyond. In an interview Ross did with the Point Pleasant Register several years ago, she said she was 18 years old when she left her home in Fayette County, W.Va. to find a job and ended up at Lakin Hospital as a psychiatric aide. Ross wasn’t just thrown into her job caring for patients — she received six months of training, earning a salary of $90 a month which included meals. In spite of, or because of, local housing being practically nonexistent for African Americans, all employees lived on the hospital grounds. Before employee dormitories were built in 1952, Ross’ room was just off of the patients’ ward, and at the time, she might awaken to find a patient walking the halls outside her room which she laughs about now but back then, found a little unsettling. “You got used to it,” See LAKIN | 2C This undated photo provided by the Archives Collection of West Virginia State Archives and History, shows an aerial view of the Lakin Hospital facility, which included a working farm, psychiatric care facilities and dormitories for employees.

Infants should receive all recommended vaccinations. Breastfeeding is recommended to help to reduce the risk of SIDS. Avoid smoke exposure during pregnancy and after birth. Place the crib in an area that is always smoke free. Supervised, awake tummy time is recommended daily to facilitate development. Consider using a pacifier at nap time and bed time, once breastfeeding is well established. Talk to those who care for your baby, including child care providers, family, and friends, about placing your baby to sleep on his back for every sleep. Obtain regular prenatal care, and avoid alcohol and illicit drug use during pregnancy and after birth.

(N) At the time of the interview, Moore described Lakin’s beginnings as unique, explaining, “At a time when the vast majority of psychiatric care for black Americans was markedly substandard, Lakin seems to have been a serious attempt to accomplish the ‘equal’ portion of the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine. ‘Care’ in most other settings consisted of minimal service in inadequate facilities by white staff who were often highly prejudiced.” As for Ross, she retired from Lakin Hospital in 1988 after she’d seen everything from lobotomies, to the introduction and benefits of psychotropic drugs, to patients being rezoned to other counties, to integration of a staff and resident population that went from predominately black to white, to psychiatric services phased out along with the adolescent care unit where she was a supervisor. Ross briefly left Lakin from 1972 to 1976 when she remarried, and when asked why she returned or better yet, why she stayed, she said, “Lakin was like family.” These days, that statement is taken literally with Ross’ daughter Phyllis Penn having worked as Lakin Hospital’s switchboard operator for nearly 50 years now. Penn, a second generation employee, has been at the facility longer than her mother was. As of Friday, the West Virginia Division of Culture and History’s West Virginia Highway Markers Database, states the plaque denoting the Lakin facilities, is officially missing. The inscription was “Lakin State Hospital County: Mason. Established in 1919 by an act of the Legislature. Opened for colored patients in 1926 and integrated in 1954. In 1957, the Hospital acquired the former Boys Industrial School. A rehabilitation center has since been added to the Hospital.” Gone, but not forgotten. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, February 19, 2017 3C 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 By Dave Green By Hilary Price 2/20 Difficulty Level By Bil and Jeff Keane 2/20 1 2 6 7 9 3 5 4 8 3 8 4 6 5 2 9 7 1 7 9 5 4 1 8 2 6 3 4 6 9 2 8 5 3 1 7 5 1 8 3 7 6 4 2 9 2 7 3 1 4 9 8 5 6 2017 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 9 3 7 5 2 1 6 8 4 By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Having A Yard Sale?

It’s become part of my business, but I’m really just an enthusiast.” He gives a buoyant recap of blues history amid the pre-show din, before concluding “I’m thrilled, truly thrilled, to host someone like this.” As they prepare to go on stage, plenty of bands swan dive into an antisocial haze, forming a protective bubble for artistic energies. Not these guys. Minutes before lighting up the audience, the bandmates are cracking jokes and finishing each other’s sentences. “This is what happens when you stay together on the road too long,’’ said drummer Jeremy Cunningham, as he jokingly adopts Knowles’s mannerisms. Good thing they only have three months left on the tour. Knowles gave his own small history lesson while trying to trace why he, and so many others from across the Atlantic, adore the genre. “John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Alexis Korner…even the Rolling Stones to some extent… really reinvigorated the American scene. It’s a bit of a British tradition,” at this point. Music is an optimistic business by necessity, overflowing with touring bands who are enjoying every moment because they know it won’t transform into more. “With blues, there’s room to put our own stamp on it, which is a really gratifying thing to do as a musician, put that mark while respecting what came before,” ended Knowles. A lot of bands can respect the establishment but are unable to leave an imprint. Not these guys.

Now he wants to remake it, too, in a way that counters isolationism, promotes global connections and addresses social ills — while also cementing Facebook’s central role as a builder of online “community” for its nearly 2 billion users. The Facebook founder laid out his thoughts on Thursday in a sweeping 5,800-word manifesto that hews closer to utopian social guide than business plan. Are we, he asked in the document, “building the world we all want?” In a phone interview with The Associated Press, Zuckerberg stressed that he wasn’t motivated by the recent U.S. election or any other particular event. Rather, he said, it’s the growing sentiment in many parts of the world that “connecting the world” — the founding idea behind Facebook — is no longer a good thing. “Across the world there are people left behind by globalization, and movements for withdrawing from global connection,” Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in a Harvard dorm room in 2004, wrote on Thursday. So it falls to his company to “develop the social infrastructure to give people the power to build a global community that works for all of us.” BREAKING NEWS AT MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
