Meigs Local
approves
sale of land
Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS —
The Meigs Local Board
of Education approved
the sale of property and
other agenda items during last week’s regular
meeting.
The board approved
a resolution authorizing
the private sale of real
property owned by the
board.
Treasurer Roy Johnson told the Sentinel
that the property is
located on a hillside
along Laurel Cliff which
the board has taken
several steps in selling.
The property was previously advertised for
sale through a public
auction, with no bids,
therefore allowing it to
be sold privately.
According to previous Sentinel reports,
the district received the
property from the county for delinquent property taxes. A sheriff

sale had been held on
the property a couple
years ago and it did not
reach an acceptable bid
level. Therefore, by law,
the property was deeded over to the school.
The property is located
on Laurel Cliff Road
and formerly owned by
Cora Renshaw.
Cass Cleland, Shawn
Hawley, Jeff McElroy
and Tracy Stone were
approved as volunteer
middle school track and
ﬁeld assistants for the
2017 season.
Ryan Payne and Ryan
Jeffers were approved
as varsity assistant
baseball coaches for
the 2017 season. Jason
Mullen was approved
as a volunteer varsity assistant baseball
coach.
Katie Ash was
approved as a substitute teacher effective
March 1 for the remainder of the school year.

NEWARK, Ohio (AP) — Ohio will hold an auction of items that were taken from about 1,000
abandoned bank safe-deposit boxes and turned
over to the state.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.
ly/2kyaﬁe ) that it will be the ﬁrst such auction
Ohio has held since 1998.
The two-day auction is set for Feb. 23-24 at the
Apple Tree Auction Center in Newark. Among
the items up for bid are U.S. gold coins, silver dollars, foreign coins and currency and 38 100-ounce
silver bars. The state has owned some of the items
since 1968.
The auction center will earn 15 percent of the
proceeds. Co-owner Sam Schnaidt says he expects
40 to 50 bidders to attend the auction while another 150 or so will register to bid online.

Public can see presidential
aircraft at Ohio museum
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Former Air Force One
crew members and security personnel along with
other experts will be on hand to talk with visitors
at an Ohio museum’s collection of presidential
planes.
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
says a retired pilot and ﬂight attendant are among
those who will interact with visitors Monday
on Presidents Day. The museum near Dayton
includes aircraft dating to those used by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Visitors can board and walk through the famed
plane that served eight presidents. The SAM
26000 carried President John F. Kennedy’s body
back to Washington after Lyndon B. Johnson was
sworn in as the new president aboard the plane
following Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas on
Nov. 22, 1963.

Kasich says phasing out
Obamacare “makes no sense”
MUNICH (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich says
he supports repealing and replacing the Affordable
Care Act but thinks a plan ﬂoated by Congressional Republicans last week to phase out the expanded Medicaid program that’s providing health care
coverage to previously uninsured Ohioans is a
“very bad idea.”
Kasich’s comments came during an appearance
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” broadcast
from Munich, where he’s attending an international security conference.
He says one-third of the 700,000 Ohioans who
have gotten medical coverage under the expanded
program have mental health and substance abuse
problems and “to turn our backs on them makes
no sense.”
Kasich also defended the role of the free press
two days after President Donald Trump called the
news media “the enemy of the American People!”
on Twitter.

Pilot killed in small
plane crash in Ohio
SOUTH VIENNA, Ohio (AP) — The pilot of a
small plane has been killed in a crash in Ohio.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol says the plane
went down in a ﬁeld Sunday afternoon near Interstate 70 in Harmony Township in Clark County.
The 25-year-old unidentiﬁed pilot was killed.
According to Federal Aviation Administration
records, the plane is listed as an experimental,
amateur-built aircraft.
It’s unclear what led to the crash. No other information was immediately available.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

Contributing columnist

Bangor, Mich.
You may have heard
about the verbal game
they played, known as
“MFK,” where names
are thrown out and participants say whether
they’d rather marry, kill
or have sex with that
person.
You may have heard
how a six-minute video
of their conversation
went viral. How it was
initially reported that
the game involved students’ names — even
though that was later
denied. How incensed
parents expressed their
ire at a school board
meeting.
And how two teachers and the school
secretary resigned after
the incident. What you
never heard — and I
waited all week, spoke
to the school attorney
and still can’t tell you
— is who ﬁlmed that
conversation. That,
nobody wants to say.
But somebody was sitting a few tables over at
the Bangor Tavern that
night, and secretly let a
camera roll.
So that patron is a
part of the story. A big
part.
Now, let’s state a few
givens here. I DO NOT
condone playing the
“MFK” game loudly
in a public bar. I DO
NOT condone teachers
mentioning students in
ANY form of disparaging conversation. So
I DO NOT have a lot
of sympathy for these
individuals, if this is
the respect they show
their colleagues and
kids. They did reportedly make disparaging
remarks about students
(although not part of
the MFK game) and
that’s hugely inappropriate.
But … since when
it is OK to just start
ﬁlming people in a restaurant? And putting
their conversations on
YouTube? Didn’t we
leap over a rather large
principle there?
Yes, I know we surrender privacy in the
digital age. But is
it really OK now to
record anyone talking in a bar — or the
barbershop, bank or
cafeteria — and release
it? Is it really OK for
news outlets to do
breathless stories about
bad behavior simply
because a video has
been posted without
demanding to know
who posted it?
“I believe this was
initially recorded by
a patron (at the restaurant) and then this
patron gave it to another person who brought
it to us to view, but
would not let us have
it,” said Robert Huber,
the attorney for the
school district. “Then,
somehow, it ended up
on YouTube. And all
hell broke loose.”
Huber had to put out
ﬁres with media outlets

who kept getting the
facts wrong (again, he
insisted, no students
were mentioned in the
MFK game). To date,
Huber said, he still
doesn’t know who the
original ﬁlmer is (even
though a few names
have been associated
with the re-posting).
And, I’m sorry, but
that’s cowardice. No, it
doesn’t make what the
teachers did less awful.
But if you’re going to
destroy others’ reputations, even justiﬁably,
have the guts to put
your own on the line.
People often think
they’re being noble by
posting secret videos,
as if every clip on
YouTube or Facebook
exposes wrongdoing
to the healing light of
justice.
Baloney. There is
as much harm resulting from a quick video
posting as there is
good. And don’t call it
journalism. Journalism
is not deﬁned by hitting
“record” and pretending you’re eating dinner.
When videos like
this surface, I’d like to
see the ﬁlmers turn the
camera on themselves,
say who they are, why
they are ﬁlming and
what their association
is with the subjects.
That way, you could
consider the source, the
same way you do when
reading a newspaper or
watching TV news.
But it doesn’t happen. So we never know
if the ﬁlmer has an ax
to grind, or if a video
has been edited, or if it
was started after a critical event or stopped
before one.
Ask yourself this:
Would you want every
restaurant or bar conversation you ever had
played for the public?
How many of us would
keep our jobs after
that? Yes, the school
employees acted horribly. But why didn’t the
patron walk up and say,
“I am overhearing what
you’re saying, and I ﬁnd
it wrong and offensive.
If you are teachers,
you should show more
respect.”
Few people have that
kind of courage. “Courage” today is pressing a
button and handing the
video to someone else.
Young people seem
to think that’s how the
world should work. I do
not. YouTube, selﬁes
and reality TV have so
blurred the lines that
we don’t even know
where a camera should
or shouldn’t be anymore. The day is coming for a monumental
clash of First Amendment rights, privacy
and our ever-ﬁlming
society.
Meanwhile, justice
is as capricious as a

Raiders runner-up at
TVC wrestling meet
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — The River Valley Raiders
are already inching closer towards the top of the
Tri-Valley Conference wrestling mountain.
That’s because the Raiders, in competing in only
their third TVC meet since joining the conference,
racked up runner-up honors on Saturday in the
annual February competition.
River Valley amassed 138.5 points — and captured three league championships as part of seven
top-four places — as this season’s TVC championships took place at Trimble High School’s William
White Gymnasium in Glouster.
Nelsonville-York, the defending conference
champion, successfully defended its team title by
posting 165 points.
The Buckeyes, of the 14 weight classes, claimed
league crowns in half of them.
Athens followed the Raiders with 131 points,
followed by Alexander at 103.5 and Vinton County
at 102.
The Meigs Marauders, which had ﬁve placers,
secured sixth-place with 67 points —followed by
Belpre with 51 and the ﬁrst-year South Gallia Rebels with 47.
The Rebels placed four wrestlers, as the secondyear Eastern Eagles ended up with 13 points.
Trimble was ninth with 37 points, followed by
ﬁrst-year Federal Hocking with 19.
Waterford and Wellston, with 17 points apiece,
tied for 11th —as Eastern was 13th while Wahama
was unable to compete.
The White Falcons, due to the West Virginia
Class AA-A regional tournament this past weekend, did not wrestle at the TVC.
Southern and Miller do not have wrestling programs.
The Raiders’ three weight-class champions were
Grant Gilmore at 170 pounds, Jeremiah Dobbins at
145 pounds and Jacob Edwards at 113 pounds.
Edwards — in a minute and 43 seconds — and
Dobbins — in ﬁve minutes and three seconds —
won their championship matches by pinfall, while
Gilmore decisioned Ray Lewis of Vinton County
by a count of 10-8.
The Raider runner-ups were Eric Weber at
160, Tyson Still at 195 and Robert Drummond
at heavyweight, as Still lost a 4-3 decision in the
championship tilt to Ryan Williams of NelsonvilleYork —while Drummond dropped a 5-4 outcome
to Dakota Doss of Belpre in the heavyweight bout.
River Valley’s only other placer was Joseph
Burns at 120, as he edged Alexander’s Wes Radford for third with an 8-7 decision.

Lady Eagles win sectional over Miller, 65-36
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— A dozen straight must
feel great.
The second-seeded
Eastern girls basketball
team claimed its 12th
straight sectional title,
defeating seventh-seeded
Miller by a 65-36 ﬁnal, on
Saturday afternoon inside
Meigs High School’s
Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.
The opening period featured three lead changes,
with the Lady Eagles
(19-3) ending the period
with a 6-0 run and a 13-9
advantage. Miller (11-13)
missed just one ﬁeld goal
try in the opening quarter, but committed 11
turnovers and never led
after the ﬁrst period.
Eastern’s lead was cut
to one point within the
opening minute of the
second stanza, but the
Lady Falcons never pulled
that close again. The
Lady Eagles outscored
Miller by a 22-to-15 clip
in the second quarter,
making the EHS lead
35-26 at halftime.
The Lady Falcons
scored the ﬁrst four
points of the second
half, cutting Eastern’s
advantage to ﬁve points.
However, the Lady Eagles
ended the third quarter
with an 18-to-2 run and a
50-32 lead.

EHS ﬁnished strong,
outscoring the Lady
Falcons by a 15-to-4
clip over the ﬁnal eight
minutes to seal the 65-36
win and the spot in the
district tournament.
“I have to give credit
to Miller, you want to
talk about a team that’s
improved,” EHS head
coach Jacob Parker said.
“They shot the lights
out in the ﬁrst half, we
made some adjustments
and played our game a
little bit more. I think the
nerves got settled down
and we came away with
the victory.”
For the game, Eastern claimed a 39-to-28
rebounding advantage,
including 19-to-10 on the
offensive glass. Miller
committed 34 turnovers
in the game, while EHS
gave the ball away 18
times. The Lady Eagles
also claimed advantages
in assists (16-to-10),
steals (15-to-8) and
blocked shots (3-to-2).
The Lady Eagles shot
22-of-63 (34.9 percent)
from the ﬁeld, including
5-of-25 (20 percent) from
beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Miller shot 14-of46 (30.4 percent) from
the ﬁeld, including 4-of13 (30.8 percent) from
three-point range. All
nine of the game’s threepoint ﬁeld goals came in
the ﬁrst half.

From the free throw
line, Eastern shot 16-of26 (61.5 percent) and
Miller shot 4-of-8 (50
percent).
“I’m a ﬁrm believer that
defense wins games and
if you play good defense,
it leads to offense,” Coach
Parker said. “Early on, we
missed some easy shots
that our defense created.
In the end, we made
the adjustments that we
needed to and came away
with the win.”
The EHS offense was
led by senior Laura Pullins with 22 points, to
go with eight rebounds.
Eastern sophomore Jess
Parker scored 18 points,
while fellow sophomore
Elizabeth Collins posted
a double-double of 15
points and 10 rebounds.
Becca Pullins scored
four points for the Green,
White and Gold, while
Alyson Bailey and Kelsey
Casto both scored three
points. Bailey marked a
game-best ﬁve assists to
go with eight rebounds,
while Laura Pullins led
the Eastern defense with
six steals and two blocked
shots.
MHS freshman Ashley
Spencer led the charge
for the Lady Falcons with
16 points, all of which
came before halftime.
Olivia Houk and Haille
Joseph both scored eight
points, to go with ﬁve

and six rebounds respectively. Houk — who led
the Miller defense with
two steals and two rejections — also marked a
team-high three assists.
Miller’s scoring was
rounded out by Askya
McFann and Chloe Rine
with two points apiece.
Playing in her ﬁnal game
for the Lady Falcons was
Miller’s lone senior Sierra
Bannik.
This marks the 25th
sectional title for the
Eastern girls basketball
program.
Eastern also defeated
the Lady Falcons in both
regular season meetings.
The Lady Eagles claimed
a 56-36 victory at MHS
on December 8, and a
62-27 win at ‘The Nest’
on January 21.

ﬁlm, tighten a few things
up and go from there.”

New Hope knocks out
Lady Defenders, 45-30

Point wrestlers win Region 4 crown

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — They made it to Round
Town, but this wasn’t the goal they had in mind.
The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team
had its postseason journey come to an end Saturday
following a 45-30 setback to top-seeded New Hope
Christian Academy in the opening round of the Ohio
Christian Schools Athletic Association Southeast
Region tournament in Pickaway County.
The eighth-seeded Lady Defenders (8-9) put up
a solid ﬁght through each of the ﬁrst three periods
of play, but a 16-9 fourth quarter surge ultimately
allowed the host Lady Statesmen (10-4) some breathing room down the stretch while wrapping up the
15-point outcome.
OVCS — who had hoped to at least duplicate some
of the volleyball team’s success this past fall in reaching the OCSAA state championship game at Ohio
Christian University — trailed by an 11-4 margin
after eight minutes of play, then NHCA followed with
a slim 13-11 spurt to secure a 24-18 edge at the intermission.
Both teams struggled to score points in the third
canto as the Lady Statesmen made a small 5-3 run
while claiming a 29-21 cushion headed into the ﬁnale.
The visiting Lady Defenders were never closer
than three possessions down the stretch as New
Hope hit all four of its free throw attempts while making its 16-9 closing run, which ultimately led to the
ﬁve-possession triumph.
Ohio Valley Christian had its ﬁve-game winning
streak snapped, while the reigning OCSAA state
champions moved on to the semiﬁnal round of the
Southeast Region. NHCA is also the top overall seed
in the tournament.
The Lady Defenders connected on 10-of-36 ﬁeld
goal attempts for 28 percent, including a 3-of-11
effort from behind the arc for 27 percent. The Blue
and White also committed 22 turnovers and went
7-of-16 at the free throw line for 44 percent.
Katie Bradley led OVCS with a game-high 11
points to go along with team-bests of seven rebounds
and four steals. Rachel Sargent was next with eight
points and four blocks, while Emily Childers added
ﬁve markers and Cori Hutchison chipped in four
points.
Kristen Durst completed the visiting tally with two
markers. Bradley and Sargent are the lone seniors on
the Lady Defenders’ roster.
New Hope made four of its 17 total ﬁeld goals from
behind the arc and also went 7-of-10 at the charity
stripe for 70 percent.
Bethany Conrad and Grace Brown paced the hosts
with 10 points apiece, followed by Kayla Wolfe with
eight points and Sarah Taylor with six markers.
Sadie Pruitt was next with ﬁve points, while Abigail Brown, Hannah Williams and JoAnna Williams
completed the winning score with two points each.

I saw our heads droop.
We’re a young team so
we’re still learning, but
that’s no excuse.”
Geary, on seven baskets
and 3-of-3 free throws,
paced Sheridan and all
scorers with 17 points.
Cooke, which burned
Gallia Academy in the
sectional semiﬁnal for 31
points, canned all three of
the Lady Generals’ triples
en route to 13.
Kendyl Mick made six
buckets for 12 points,

as Rhodes ripped down
a dozen rebounds while
Geary grabbed seven.
Fields ﬁnished with
11 points on four ﬁeld
goals to pace Meigs,
while Betzing bagged
four ﬁeld goals and 2-of-2
fourth-quarter free throws
towards 10.
Madison Hendricks
had three ﬁeld goals for
six points, while Taylor
Swartz and Alli Hatﬁeld
had a fourth-quarter ﬁeld
goal apiece — and Danni
Morris made a fourthquarter foul shot.
It was the ﬁnal game
for four Marauder seniors
— Morris, Hatﬁeld, Jones
and the injured Bre Colburn.
However, look for the
Lady Marauders to reload next season with

their core group returning.
“It was a good season
for us. Unfortunately, it
ended a little earlier than
what we wanted,” he said.
“But we’re bringing back
a solid nucleus next year
with Kassidy Betzing
and Madison Fields and
Marissa Noble and Madison Hendricks and Devin
Humphreys. So we have
high expectations for next
year. I’ll get a full summer with them this year
where I didn’t last year,
so we’ll be able to work
on some more things. It’s
not easy playing for me, I
can guarantee you. We’re
going to keep learning
and we’re going to come
back hard next year.”

MOUNT ZION, W.Va.
— Back on top.
After four years at the
Class AAA ranks, the
Point Pleasant wrestling
team returned to the top
of the mountain this past
weekend after winning
the Class AA-A Region
4 title held at Calhoun
County High School.
The Big Blacks — who
ﬁnished second, second,
third and fourth during
their four years at the
Class AAA Region 4 tournament — captured their
fourth straight Region 4
team title as competitors
at the Class AA-A ranks.
PPHS ended up winning
the Class AA-A state
crown in 2010, 2011 and
2012 after winning the
Region 4 title in those
previous seasons.
Overall, the Big Blacks
posted a combined 25-10
overall record and had
11 of their 13 grapplers
qualify for state while ﬁnishing the two-day event
with a team tally of 236
points.
Wirt County — the
top Class A ﬁnishing program — was the overall
runner-up with 188.5
points, while Winﬁeld
(174.0), Williamstown
(102.0) and Sissonville
(89.5) rounded out the
top ﬁve spots in the
15-team ﬁeld.
Point Pleasant came
away with six regional
champions and also had
11 top-four ﬁnishes at the
event. All but one of the
13 PPHS grapplers also
ﬁnished in the top six of
their respective divisions.
“I’m very proud of the
guys because winning
a regional championship was one of our
main goals this season,”
eighth-year Point Pleasant coach John Bonecutter said afterwards. “It is

very satisfying to see this
happen, but now it’s time
to refocus and get ready
for states next weekend.”
Freshman Justin Cornell (106), sophomore
George Smith (113),
junior Jacob Bryant
(138) and senior Grant
Safford (182) all went
2-0 en route to winning
weight class titles, while
freshman Logan Southall
(126) and senior Austin
Wamsley (152) also won
divisional titles with
identical 3-0 marks.
Senior Andrew Roach
placed second with a 1-1
record at 195 pounds,
while juniors Caleb Lane
(120) and Brian Gillispie
(285) both ﬁnished as
runners-up in their divisions with matching 2-1
marks.
Freshman Juan Marquez ﬁnished third at
220 pounds with a 3-1
record, while junior Jacob
Roub was 2-2 overall and
earned fourth place at
145 pounds.
Freshman Nazar Abbas
just missed a qualifying
spot at 170 pounds after
ﬁnishing ﬁfth with a 1-2
mark at 170 pounds.
Junior Colten Carr also
went 0-2 in both of his
160-pound bouts.

Smith, Lane, Wamsley,
Safford and Gillispie are
repeat qualiﬁers for the
state tournament, while
Cornell, Southall, Bryant,
Roub, Roach and Marquez will all be making
their state debuts next
weekend in Huntington.
The Big Blacks will
also have double-digit
qualiﬁers at the state
tournament for the 10th
time in 11 postseasons,
including the seventh
straight tournament at
the Class AA-A level.
Point Pleasant, however, will have some Mason
County company at the
Class AA-A state tournament as Wahama will also
be sending four grapplers
to Big Sandy Superstore
Arena.
The White Falcons had
six grapplers compete at
the Region 4 meet, which
resulted in a quartet of
top four ﬁnishes and a
9-12 overall record. WHS
ﬁnished seventh overall
— and also placed fourth
out of the Class A programs that participated at
regionals — with 73 total
points.
Ethan Herdman was
the top ﬁnisher for
Wahama as the junior
placed second at 145

pounds with a 2-1 mark.
Herdman is also the lone
repeat qualiﬁer headed
to state for the Red and
White.
Senior Brady Powell
(152), junior Antonio
Serevicz (195) and
freshman Trevor Hunt
(120) all placed fourth in
their respective weight
classes with identical
2-2 records, which also
allowed each of them to
earn state berths.
Braden Weaver was
sixth in the heavyweight
class with a 1-3 overall
record, while Trey Peters
went 0-2 at 126 pounds.
In all, Mason County
will have 15 grapplers
competing this week at
the 70th annual WVSSAC
Wrestling Championships
that are being held at the
Big Sandy Superstore
Arena in Cabell County.
The three-day event
starts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and will run through
Saturday evening.

second straight sectional
title.
The Lady Tornadoes
held a 41-to-27 rebounding advantage, including
a 16-to-6 edge on the
offensive glass. However, Southern turned the
ball over 25 times, nine
more than BHS. Belpre
recorded the game’s only
two rejections, while
holding advantages in
assists (6-to-4) and steals
(16-to-9).
Southern made just
6-of-45 (13.3 percent)
ﬁeld goal tries, including 2-of-10 (20 percent)
three-point tries. Meanwhile, Belpre shot 13-of39 (33.3 percent) from
the ﬁeld, including 0-of12 from beyond the arc.
From the charity stripe,
the Lady Tornadoes shot
20-of-32 (62.5 percent)
and the Lady Eagles shot

16-of-27 (59.3 percent).
“Defensively it was
exactly what we planned
for,” SHS head coach
Kent Wolfe said. “I felt
that we had an opportunity to win and that’s
all we can ask our kids
to do. They fought real
hard defensively, but we
just had some shots on
the offensive end that we
need to make. I’m proud
of them, I thought our
kids played as hard as
they could play, we just
didn’t make any shots.”
SHS senior Faith
Teaford led the Purple
and Gold with a doubledouble of 12 points and
10 rebounds. Macie
Michael, Sierra Cleland
and Jaiden Roberts each
scored ﬁve points for
SHS, Phoenix Cleland
added four points, while
Baylee Wolfe chipped in
with three.
Teaford, Michael, Sierra Cleland and Josie Cundiff each had one assist in

the setback. Michael led
the Lady Tornado defense
with four steals.
Belpre — which has
now won nine sectional
crowns — was led by
senior Cheyenne Barker
with 16 points and four
assists. Kyna Waderker
and Trinidy King both
scored eight points, with
Waderker marking a
team-high nine rebounds
and King adding a gamebest six steals.
Kaitlin Richards and
Alexandria Williams both
scored four points in the
win, while Sydney Spencer chipped in with two
points.
Belpre also defeated
Southern twice in the
regular season, winning
by identical counts of
54-43 on December 19,
in Meigs County and on
January 26, in Washington County.
This marks the ﬁnal
game in the Purple and
Gold for Southern seniors

Sierra Cleland, Macie
Michael, Ashley Acree
and Wilmington College
signee Faith Teaford.
“I hate to see it end for
our four seniors,” said
Coach Wolfe. “Ashley
was with me for two
years, but Faith, Sierra
and Macie have taken a
lot of yelling and a lot of
instruction from me. I’m
real proud of them. We
have a lot of work to do,
there are a lot of good
teams in this league coming, and we’re losing four
seniors. We have some
kids who need to work
and get better.”
Belpre will face secondseeded South Webster

by a 40-39 ﬁnal, on Saturday at Northwest High

Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy, Even When Dining Out
There are no excuses overindulging
in foods you know are bad for you
just because it’s the weekend and you
are eating at a restaurant. You can
keep you heart in check and still enjoy
a fabulous meal if you know what
foods to eat and which ones to avoid.
Say no to that Caesar salad, fettuccini
alfredo and cheesecake, but say yes to
a garden salad with dressing on the
side, broiled ﬁsh and sorbet. The latter
is much lower in saturated fats and
calories which is healthier for you and
better for your heart.
High cholesterol levels are a major
risk factor of a heart attack so if
you choose foods that are lower
in saturated fats and prepared in
a healthier way, you will cut your
risk of developing heart disease or
a heart attack. It’s best to stay clear
of dishes that are deep or pan fried,
braised, sauteed, creamed, stewed,
stuffed or escalloped, prepared au
gratin or au fromage style, or are
served with a hollandaise or bearnaise
sauce. Instead, look for entrees that
are steamed, broiled, baked, grilled,
poached, roasted, lightly sauteed or
lightly stir fried, garden fresh or au
jus. For example, look for lean cuts
of red meat and roasted or baked

chicken or turkey.
For seafood, lean
towards baked or
broiled ﬁsh, shrimp
or other shellﬁsh.
If oil is used in the
cooking process,
make sure that it’s
olive, corn or canola.
Don’t be afraid to
ask your waiter
how your entree
is prepared and
what ingredients
it contains. If you are not satisﬁed,
request a modiﬁed version.
Most restaurant chefs are quite
accommodating and can easily
substitute a healthier, low-fat
alternative to the original high-fat
ingredients that some dishes contain.
Here are other things you can do to
keep your meal heart healthy: remove
skin from poultry, substitute a baked
potato for French fries, order a fruit
salad instead of a chocolate mousse.
Get sauces, dressings, gravy and
butter served on the side so you can
limit the amount you use. Try salsa,
mustard or low-fat yogurt instead of
mayonnaise, sour cream or butter.
And, please, don’t deprive yourself

of that delicious, mouthwatering
dessert or after-dinner coffee. You
can still watch your cholesterol and
eat contentedly without feeling guilty.
Choose an angel food cake or a fatfree cheesecake. Why not get a scoop
of frozen yogurt or sorbet instead of
ice cream? Coffee lovers can use skim
or low-fat milk instead of cream or
whole milk, or sip on an iced coffee.
There are so many food options
available that can let you enjoy
your dining experience while still
maintaining the health of your heart.
Once you make those simple little
changes to your restaurant ritual, you
can eat out every night of the week if
you want to. Happy dining!
