State budget woes
Middleport
Council still
discussing
bonuses
By Michael Hart
Special to the Sentinel
MIDDLEPORT —
Nearly two months after
Christmas, Middleport
Council is still discussing
Christmas bonuses given
to public works employees
During the most recent
meeting of Middleport
Village Council, the council again debated Administrator Joe Woodall’s
December distribution of
bonuses to Pubic Works
employees.
Councilperson Sharon
Older contends Woodall circumvented the
budgetary power of the
council by not seeking
specific approval for the
$2431.75, and that a 3-2
vote during the Dec. 20
emergency meeting was

Managed care tax loss
main focus of meeting
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
POMEROY — “Please don’t
leave us behind down here.”
That was part of the message
conveyed by local resident Brian
Condee to state legislators during Monday’s town hall meeting
hosted by the Meigs County
Commissioners.
The meeting brought together
local residents, officials from
Meigs, Gallia and other surrounding counties, as well as
state representatives, and representatives from the governor’s
office, Senator Rob Portman’s
office and Congressman Bill
Johnson’s office, to discuss the
impact of the proposed state
budget on local governments.
The main topic of concern
discussed during the two hour
meeting was the cuts coming to
local governments as a result of
the managed care tax no longer
being in place.
As previously reported, current law regarding medicaid
sales tax provides that “all transactions by which health care
services are paid for, reimbursed,
provided, delivered, arranged
for, or otherwise made available
by a Medicaid health insuring
corporation pursuant to the
corporation’s contract with the
state” is subject to both state
and local sales and use taxes
collected by the Department of
Taxation.
For purposes of collecting
the tax, the Medicaid Managed
Care Organization (MCO) is
considered the consumer of the
service. The state and local sales
taxes are collected by the state
and the local portion is remitted
to the county or transit authority. For purposes of applying local
sales taxes, the state credits the
local sales tax to the county of
residence of the MCO enrollee.
This is set to change this summer as a result of federal regulations.
State Rep. Ryan Smith
(R-Bidwell), who represents the
93rd District, explained that

A large crowd filled the Farmers Bank community room for Monday’s meeting.
the managed care tax went into
effect in 2009 under then Governor Ted Strickland, with medicaid expansion later increasing
the financial benefit over recent
years from the tax. Now, the
federal government says that the
services can no longer be taxed,
resulting in an approximate loss
of $900 million to the state and
more than $200 million to local
governments.
Right now, the focus is on how
to offset the loss and/or lessen
the blow.
While Vinton and Meigs Counties are the two set to see the
largest impact from the cuts,
Ryan Smith said that Cuyahoga
County and others are screaming as well about the impact of
the cut.
Smith said that in order to
approve a budget (or any other
bill) there must be 50 votes in
the house. That being said, a
proposed fix must not only benefit the Appalachian counties,
but other regions as well.
The cut to Meigs County
would be 21.7 percent of the
county’s annual sales tax revenue, or $574,302 annually.

County in the Virginia
Colony.
On this date:
In 1862, Jefferson
Davis, already the provisional president of
the Confederacy, was
inaugurated for a sixyear term following
his election in Nov.
1861.
In 1892, “Lady
Windermere’s Fan” by
Oscar Wilde was first
performed at London’s
St. James’ Theater.
In 1909, the Great
White Fleet, a naval
task force sent on
a round-the-world
voyage by President
Theodore Roosevelt,
returned after more
than a year at sea.
In 1924, President
Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio
broadcast from the
White House as he
addressed the country
over 42 stations.
In 1935, it became
illegal for airplanes
to fly over the White
House.
In 1940, the 14th
Dalai Lama, Tenzin
Gyatso, was enthroned
at age four in Lhasa,
Tibet.
In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race
was held; although
Johnny Beauchamp
was initially declared
the winner, the victory was later awarded
to Lee Petty.

East Pakistan).
In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place
in Lake Placid, New
York, as the United
States Olympic hockey
team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S.
team went on to win
the gold medal.)
In 1987, pop artist
Andy Warhol died at
a New York City hospital at age 58; talkshow host David Susskind was found dead
in his Manhattan hotel
suite; he was 66.
In 1997, scientists
in Scotland announced
they had succeeded in
cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb
named “Dolly.” (Dolly,
however, was later put
down after a short life
marred by premature
aging and disease.)
Ten years ago:
Britain’s Ministry of

although specifics of those

be covered under a “hold

constitutionality of
Ohio execution process
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — A federal
appeals court plans to
consider arguments
over the constitutionality of Ohio’s lethal
injection process as the
state tries to start carrying out executions
once again.
At issue is whether
a contested sedative,
midazolam, is powerful
enough to put inmates
into a deep state of
unconsciousness before
two subsequent drugs
paralyze them and stop
their hearts.
A related issue is
whether Ohio has a
realistic chance of finding an alternative drug
— a barbiturate called
pentobarbital — that
once was widely used
in executions but has
become difficult or, in
Ohio’s case, impossible
to obtain.
The 6th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in
Cincinnati had scheduled arguments for
Tuesday, but reset
them for March 7. The
court’s ruling, likely a
few weeks afterward,
will be closely watched
not just in Ohio but in
other states that use
midazolam or might be
looking to try it.
The case reached
the court after Ohio
appealed a federal
judge’s ruling that
rejected the state’s
current three-drug
method.

THEIR VIEW
That’s unpresidented
By Allan Fallow
Contributing columnist
Remembr speling?
Neither does our president. In his first tweet
as POTUS — posted at
11:57 a.m. on Jan. 21
— @realDonaldTrump
tweeted, “I am honered
(sic) to serve you, the
great American People,
as your 45th President
of the United States!”
(He later deleted the
message.)
He governs as he
campaigned. As the
Washington Post’sDana
Milbank pointed out
in a delicious evisceration headlined “Trump
attaks and dishoners
English,” Trump has
managed to mangle
gimmes like “shocker”
(“shoker”) and “choker”
(“chocker”), as well as
second-round spellingbee softballs such as
“instincts” (“insticts”)
and “unprecedented”
(“unpresidented”).
Now all of Washington, perhaps inspired
by the man at the helm,
is swimming in a sea of
typos.
“No dream is too
big, no challenge is to
(sic) great,” reads the
inauguration poster
recently removed from
the online store of the
Library of Congress.
On Feb. 6, the White
House released a list of
78 terrorist attacks it
claimed the media had
underreported. The
list itself was tragically
underconsonantalized:
Attackers had become
“attakers,” San Bernardino was allotted a
single “R,” and Denmark got domesticated
to “Denmakr.”
Six days later, the
Department of Education tried to tweet an
inspiring quote (“Education must not simply
teach work — it must
teach life”) by civil
rights activist and historian W.E.B. Du Bois.
Just one problem — or
two, depending on how
strictly you grade your
students’ papers: The
Education mavens had
spelled his last name
“DeBois.” Four hours
later came the predictable correction tweet:
“Our deepest apologizes
(sic) for the earlier
typo.”
Does any of this matter? By devoting ink
or pixels to the topic,
don’t we simply prove
the populist point about
out-of-touch coastal
elites?
Once you stop laughing, some useful correctives emerge:
If you can’t figure out
the proper arrangement
of 26 little letters, what
does that say about your
larger enterprise?
When you find yourself saddled with a
slap-dash reputation, it’s
time to slow down.
Think before you
speak. And definitely
before you tweet.
As a copy editor at
Time-Life Books in
the early 1980s, I was
made vividly aware
that perpetrating — or
merely perpetuating —
a typo was a dismissible
offense. That may sound
harsh, but excellence in
publishing extends all
the way down to taking
care that “minuscule”
and “desiccate” are
spelled in the quirky-
“Misspellings can
be haunting even for
non-celebrities.”
but-correct way they
demand. (This mindset also explains why
I never told my boss
about those 2 million
direct-mail brochures
for Time-Life’s Civil
War series that went
out with “Southern
gentlewomen” rendered
as “Southern gentilewomen.”)
Misspellings can be
haunting even for noncelebrities. New York
literary agent Lynn
Johnston says she tries
“to block the worst
offenders from my mind
— they’re too painful.”
She’s talking about her
own career-capping
typos, mind you, not
those committed by the
writers she represents.
As director of membership recruitment for the
American Bar Association in the early 1990s,
for example, Johnston
oversaw the preparation of a marketing
brochure intended to
address “public lawyers.” Instead, Johnston
rues to this day, “The
ABA appeal went out to
‘pubic lawyers.’”
Henry Fuhrmann, the
retired assistant managing editor for copy
desks and standards for
the Los Angeles Times,
was in the middle of
teaching a journalism
class at USC when I
reached him — via
Twitter — so I couldn’t
tell whether haste or
mortification inspired
his curt answer to my
query about erratacism:
“Look,” he typed, “just
google ‘Fuhrmann butt
cracks.’”
I did. Assigned to
shepherd into print a
story containing the
sentence “But cracks
eventually appeared in
Lamb’s public persona,”
Fuhrmann’s copy desk
experienced a conjunction dysfunction that
yielded “the best typo
to ever run in The
Times,” as Tessa Stuart
of LA Weekly dubbed
it. (“It makes for a fun
anecdote,” Fuhrmann
later conceded. “In retrospect.”)
No one, evidently,
is immune. And messages composed in the
heat of the social-media
moment routinely
betray their spontaneity
— I get that. But when
you have 1.07 million
Twitter followers and
run a $69.4 billion federal agency with 4,400
employees — or let’s
say you have 25 million
followers and run the
country — you should
probably hire a proofreader to catch, at the
very least, the obvious
stuff.
Mr. Precedent, now
that you’ve visited CIA
HQ and reassured the
spooks you have their
backs, may I offer a
reciprocal guarantee?
The next time you’re
tempted to express
yourself online, ask
an intern to scan your
Android screen before
you press “Tweet.” Cultur comes from the top.

THEIR VIEW
Supporting the arts for our sake
By Dana Gioia
Contributing columnist
The National Endowment of the Arts is under
attack — again. The foes
are the same tired cast
of characters who have
assaulted the agency
for the last 30 years.
Their arguments are the
same threadbare notions
that have been repeatedly rejected. They are
mounting a partisan battle that will do the nation
no good. But for the sake
of the arts, it needs to be
fought again and won.
Since it was authorized in 1965, the NEA
has been a small federal agency with a large
capacity for making
arts available across the
United States. In the
1980s Culture Wars, the
agency faced controversies about blasphemous
and obscene art, most
notably a Robert Mapplethorpe photography
exhibition. Congress also
criticized that its funding went mostly to a few
cities. Surviving heated
public debates, the agency responded by broadening its program and
its reach. In the current
century, the NEA has
enjoyed wide popularity,
consistently good press
and bipartisan support in
Washington.
The latest attack
comes from two groups,
the Heritage Foundation and the Republican
Study Committee in the
House of Representatives. They jointly recommend that President
Trump eliminate the
NEA and its companion
agency, the National
Endowment for the
Humanities, in the new
White House budget.
The Trump administration has not yet made a
decision, and the president has made no public
statement on the issue.
In the meantime the
arts world is in state of
anxiety.
Both the Heritage
Foundation and the
Republican Study Committee have long been
obsessed with ending
federal support for the
arts. During my six years
as the chairman of the
NEA under President
George W. Bush, these
groups launched one
unsuccessful volley after
another. Their stated
rationale was that the
federal government had
no business funding the
arts. Beneath that smallgovernment ideal, however, was another openly
acknowledged motive
not related to the public
good but to political
advantage. By eliminating the NEA, they could
deliver a symbolic victory against leftist urban
constituencies.
There is an obvious
element of class warfare
in these attacks — the
endowment’s critics
often say its grants are
a way for the rich to
use public money to
subsidize their own elite
cultural institutions. This
assertion misrepresents
how and where the NEA
does its work.
The NEA’s 2017 budget is $149.8 million.
In a nation of 319 million people that amount
doesn’t allow the agency
to subsidize much of
anything. But the endowment has found ways to
make the money work
with outsized effectiveness and efficiency. It
makes thousands of small
grants to nonprofit organizations — on average
2,100 a year. Each grant
requires the recipient
to raise matching local
funds — often at a ratio
of two or three local
dollars for each federal
one. So the NEA mostly
serves as a catalyst for
local groups to raise
private and state money
to serve their own communities.
On its modest budget,
NEA funding now reaches every state, every
congressional district,
and even most counties — rural and urban
— in the United States.
Grants fund programs in
schools, libraries and military bases. Nearly half
the grants go directly to
state and regional arts
organizations to expand
grass-roots efforts. NEA
grants never pay overhead or annual expenses.
They only fund specific
programs of artistic and
educational excellence
that reach the public.
The NEA Shakespeare
program, for example,
has helped bring professional stage productions
to 3,900 towns, mostly
small and midsize communities — from Douglas, Alaska, to Santa
Cruz, Calif., to Pawtucket, R.I. It has provided
millions of high school
students with a chance to
experience live theater,
most of them for the first
time — allowing them
to see the plays they are
studying in class. This
program has also provided work for thousands
of actors and crew. The
NEA funding pays only
a small part of the total
program cost. The rest
is raised by local citizens
eager to have Shakespeare in their schools.
Operation Homecoming allows troops
returning from combat
to write about their wartime experiences. This
program also reaches
the wounded in military
hospitals. NEA’s Jazz
Masters tour grants
have brought musicians
to local festivals and
classrooms; from 2008 to
2014, 51 artists played at
327 venues. Meanwhile
every year a quarter of a
million teenagers participate in Poetry Out Loud,
a national high school
recitation contest. Do
any of these programs
sound elitist?
No American president
— Republican or Democrat — has ever tried to
eliminate the National
Endowment for the Arts.
“Access to culture
should not be a
function of family
income.”
Despite urban legends to
the contrary, even Ronald
Reagan was a supporter.
Although Reagan’s first
budget director, David
Stockman, recommended
“zeroing out” the agency,
the president, himself
an artist, rejected the
proposal. By the end
of Reagan’s tenure, the
NEA budget stood at a
historic high.
The arts in America
wouldn’t be destroyed if
the NEA ceased to exist.
But music, dance, theater, literature and visual
arts would become less
widely available, especially in schools, rural
areas and poorer communities. Access to culture
should not be a function
of family income. That
is why citizens must
remind their representatives in Washington that
the NEA needs to be
protected. Believe it or
not, most members of
Congress will be pleased
to get these letters.
Public support for the
arts and arts education
is neither a partisan nor
a divisive issue. Most
Americans want to see
the arts in their communities and their schools.
Most members of Congress agree. So do most
governors and state legislatures. A 2016 public
opinion poll conducted
by the advocacy group
Americans for the Arts
found that 55 percent
were in favor of doubling
the NEA’s budget (from
46 cents per person then
to $1 per person). In a
divided country, the arts
represent a rare consensus. Let’s not lose it.
Dana Gioia, professor of poetry
and public culture at USC, was
unanimously confirmed twice by
the Senate to lead the NEA from
2003 through 2009. He wrote this
for the Los Angeles Times.

Council was
informed that a resident had complained
about almost being
t-boned at the Broadway and Willow Alley
intersection. The
resident wanted a stop
sign installed, and
claimed that if there
was an accident there
without a stop sign the
village would be liable.
Mayor Scott Hill
advised that he and
Village Administrator
John Holman were
aware of the complaint
and that both had gone
to the intersection to
see how a stop sign
could be legally placed,
something that is still
being worked on.
During discussion
on the matter it was
noted that a motorist,
when entering a street
or highway, must yield
even if a stop sign is
not present, therefore
the village would not
be liable.
Hill reported that the
water line replacement
project is proceeding
nicely, noting that he
was sorry for the mud
and some street blockages, but when completed all waterlines
will be plastic lines.
Council approved the
minutes of the January meeting, a list of
bills to be paid and the
financial statement as
presented.
During a special
meeting held to
appoint a representative to the SyracuseRacine Regional Sewer

Optimism in high
gear at Daytona for
NASCAR’s top teams
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Optimism
abounds after the opening weekend at Daytona
International Speedway, especially for NASCAR’s
top teams.
Teamwork at Joe Gibbs Racing appears as solid
as ever despite adding rookie Daniel Suarez to the
mix, evidenced by Denny Hamlin, Suarez, Matt
Kenseth and Kyle Busch running 1-2-3-4 for much
of the Clash at Daytona.
Team Penske’s Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski look as if they could continue their recent
dominance at restrictor-plate races, and with Stewart-Haas Racing switching from Chevrolet to Ford
in the offseason, they now have a few extra friends
— Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick and
Clint Bowyer — to help around NASCAR’s most
famous track.
Hendrick Motorsports has the Daytona 500 pole
again as well as another front-row sweep.
And the usual suspects — Hamlin, Logano and
Keselowski — seem to be up front at every turn.
Combine all those notable nuggets, and the 59th
running of “The Great American Race” on Sunday
is setting up to be another unpredictable showcase
event.
Some other things we learned from the opening
of Speedweeks:
HENDRICK HORSEPOWER: Hendrick Motorsports has the Daytona 500 pole-sitter for the
third consecutive season and swept the front row
for the fourth time in the last eight years. It’s a
clear indication Hendrick has the horsepower —
as usual — to be a factor in NASCAR’s opener.
Chase Elliott landed the pole for the second
time in as many years, and fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. made his triumphant return to racing
by securing the No. 2 starting spot. Earnhardt
missed the final 18 races of 2016 because of nausea and vision and balance issues after at least the
fifth concussion of his career.
TROUBLING TURN: Although much went
right for Hendrick, the four-car team found cause
for concern.
Seven-time and defending series champion
Jimmie Johnson spun twice in Turn 4 during the
Clash at Daytona on Sunday, adding to the team’s
recent woes in the high-banked corner. Teammates

Raiders knock off Spartans in sectional
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
JACKSON, Ohio — For
Jacob Dovenbarger, and
the rest of the River Valley Raiders, this third
time was absolutely the
charm.
After twice losing in
lopsided fashion in the
regular season to the
Alexander Spartans, the
Raiders and Dovenbarger
didn’t disappoint on Monday night in the Division
III sectional semifinals.
The six-foot, six-inch
senior center poured in
over half of River Valley’s
points, and the 10thseeded Raiders never
trailed in knocking off the
Spartans 47-38 at Jackson
High School.
In a defensive-oriented
contest, Dovenbarger
broke through for 18
of his game-high 25
points in the second half
—including 15 in the
decisive fourth quarter
in which he hit a threepointer, 6-of-8 free throws
and a thunderous slam
dunk.
“That’s a pretty good
half for a sectional basketball game. He (Dovenbarger) is that good and
can get 30 (points) any
night,” said River Valley
coach Bryan Drummond.
“He made free throws
down the stretch because
we got the ball to him.
The guys trust him, they
want him to have the ball,
they want him to be successful and he wants the
team to be successful.”
Alexander, on the other
hand, never found any
offensive flow — shooting just 33-percent on
15-of-46 overall, and
26-percent (5-of-19) from
three-point range.
The Spartans also
never saw the free-throw
line —going only 3-of-4
— while committing 16
turnovers.
“We are a defensive
team first and we have
to be. But tonight was
a little special. We got
after it, and we were tired
when we got done. We
knew what they (Spartans) were going to do.
We’ve played them twice
and watched them several
times on film since the
tournament draw was
announced,” said Drummond.
As the Raiders kept
going inside from tipoff
to final buzzer, they made
10-of-16 free throws as a
team —all in the second
half including 7-of-10 by
Dovenbarger alone.
While River Valley did
have to work hard for
Monday night’s win, it
was worth getting a ‘W’
in the tournament.
“It’s been a long season
for us, but the tournament is where we want to
succeed. The tournament
is what we’ve been talking about all year. One
of our goals was to make
sure we got a tournament
win,” said Drummond.
“Alexander is very tough
and physical and their
defense is tremendous.
From half-court and in, it
is hard to get an inch on
them. They help tremendously in their man-toman defense. And that’s
why we didn’t get many
points, but 47 proved to
be enough. This was a
true definition of a ‘team’
win. We’re better than
our record, and we’re
really good whenever our
big guy (Dovenbarger)
plays well and our guards
handle the basketball
and we make our free
throws.”
The Raiders definitely
did all of those things
against Alexander — the
seventh seed in the Jackson sectional.
With the win, River
Valley raised its record
to 9-14 —and more
importantly —returns to
Jackson on Saturday evening for the Division III
sectional championship.
The Raiders will now
play second-seeded and
highly-touted Oak Hill —
which is 21-1, champion
of the Southern Ohio
Conference Division II
and coached by the legendary Norm Persin.
Tipoff time is set for
Saturday at 6 p.m.
Alexander ended its
season at 11-12, and only
got as close as four onepoint deficits in the opening period (3-2, 5-4, 7-6
and 10-9).
The Raiders relied on
back-door moves, baseline and mid-range jump
shots, and even a couple
of runouts to craft their
points against the Spartans.
And Dovenbarger was
the biggest beneficiary, of
course.
“All of that was a product of just watching film
and knowing how they
(Spartans) were going to
play us,” said Drummond.
“We’re trading little
bumps 30-feet from the
basket where we would
normally go by someone
for a back-door cut or a
couple plays that we put
in to keep them on their
heels. And we wanted to
get the ball inside. The
first play of the game and
the first play of the second half, we went inside.
We wanted to pound the
ball inside and let it be
known where we were
going with the basketball.
And my guys did that.
They wanted to get the
ball to Dove (Dovenbarger).”
In the fourth quarter
especially.
Dovenbarger scored all
but three of the Raiders’
16 points in the stanza,
including the opening 11.
The Silver and Black
staked three 10-point
leads in a two-minute and
nine-second span —first
(37-27) reached when
Dovenbarger bagged a
three off an assist from
Jarret McCarley, who ran

Chase Elliott and
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had
similar issues in the
2016 Daytona 500, both
crashing in the final
turn.
So what may have
seemed like a one-year
fluke is now a fullfledged trend for Hendrick.
“It’s a concern,” said
Alan Gustafson, crew
chief for Elliott. “We
have things in place to
try to improve that, and
we’re very aware of it.”
Earnhardt sounded
like getting the turn
straight would be a priority during the week.
“We’re looking at our
notes from over the
years,” Earnhardt said,
pointing specifically
to 2015. “We’ll look at
what we did then and
what we’re doing now
and sort of go through
the process of elimination, and that’s kind of
what we’ve been doing
until we fix it.”
NEW RULES:
NASCAR’s new rules
received mixed results
in the opening weekend.
Chip Ganassi Racing
driver Kyle Larson was
parked with 14 laps
remaining in the Clash
for violating NASCAR’s
new damaged-vehicle
policy. Officials said
Larson’s team had more
than six crew members
over the wall to work
on his damaged No. 42
Chevrolet. NASCAR
policy states that teams
can’t continue in the
race if they’re caught
with too many men over
the wall.
“I didn’t even know
that was a rule,” Larson
said. “It’s just confusing.
We know now.”
NASCAR also got
its first look at its new
concussion assessment
testing.
Drivers involved in a
wreck that sends their
car to the garage must
report to the infield care
center for an evaluation.
Concussion assessment
tests are administered
if care center doctors
believe there is a concern of head injury.
Former series champion Kurt Busch was the
first to wreck under the
new rule and praised
the extra evaluation.
“There was an individual that met me out
by the car, rode with
me in the ambulance
and again met with
the doctors and just
went through different
sequences to check all
of the different vitals
and we were released,”
Busch said. “It’s just a
little bit of an upgrade.
You can tell that they’ve
made an effort and it’s
nice to have that security.”
PATRICK’S RUN:
Danica Patrick did it
OVCS
From page 6
added bonus.
“It’s a bittersweet feeling,
knowing it’s the last home
game with this group. Then
again, it’s a great memory
for these seniors to know
that they won their final
home game,” OVCS head
coach Steve Rice said
afterwards. “Tonight is one
of those things that those
seniors will remember for
the rest of their lives, and
hopefully they will remember a lot of the other good
things that they have been
part of during their careers
here.”
There were 10 lead
changes in the opening
canto alone, which led to a
12-11 Parkersburg Christian
advantage through eight
again at Daytona.
Patrick has been solid
at times at Daytona
since her rookie season
when she won the Daytona 500 pole and led
five laps. She finished
fourth at the Clash,
a needed confidence
boost following a dismal
2016. She finished 24th
in the standings and
failed to post a top-10
finish.
Brad Keselowski and
Denny Hamlin crashed
on the last lap, allowing Patrick to sneak
through for the best
finish of her NASCAR
career.
“I will say that I got a
little lucky, but there’s a
lot of that in speedway
racing,” she said.
BOWMAN’S LAND:
Alex Bowman’s final
scheduled race for Hendrick Motorsports was
a doozy.
He finished third in
the No. 88 Chevrolet,
his last time subbing for
Earnhardt. Earnhardt
was cleared to race in
the 88 but let Bowman
take a deserved turn for
his sturdy job in parttime duty last season.
Bowman chatted with
Kyle Busch on pit road
after the race. Bowman
worked hard to pass
Busch over the final
laps instead of teaming
with him to chase the
leaders.
Bowman said it was
an honor to drive for
Earnhardt and team
owner Rick Hendrick.
His NASCAR future is
unknown.
“It’s definitely kind of
like a bittersweet feeling,” he said. “I don’t
really know what I have
going forward, and I
only know of one race
for sure that I’m going
to run, and it’s not a
Cup race this year.”
MONSTER DEBUT:
Kurt Busch’s car was
the center of attention
of before the Clash. His
car’s make? A Ford. The
model? Try models, the
bevy of Monster Energy
girls who posed for pictures with bystanders.
Busch is sponsored by
Monster Energy — but
the energy drink company also took over this
season as title sponsor
for the Cup series.
Its debut was a monster dud.
Busch hit the wall a
few laps into the race,
the green squiggly
M logo on the hood
crushed as the car was
towed to the garage.
Other than the Monster girls, there has
been little promotion by
the company. Monster
isn’t selling drinks at
concession stands, and
there are no ads spread
around the track.
There was a billboard
in the fan zone promoting NBC’s television
coverage that still had
the NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series logo plastered in the middle.
minutes of play.
OVCS knotted things up
at 14-all at 6:54 remaining
in the half, but Josh Deem
capped a 9-1 surge over the
next 3:30 to that allowed the
guests to secure their largest
lead of the night at 23-15.
Justin Beaver end an
almost six-minute drought
without a field goal with
a basket at the 1:01 mark,
allowing OVCS to close to
within 23-17 at the intermission.
The Defenders made four
of their 25 total field goals
from behind the arc and
also went 6-of-10 at the free
throw line for 60 percent.

1,000-point scorer and seventh all-time in boys scoring
at the school — led OVCS

Lady Knights’ season ended by Sissonville
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
SISSONVILLE, W.Va.
— Just like that, your
postseason dreams can
come to a screeching
halt.
The Point Pleasant
girls basketball team had
its 2016-17 campaign
come to a close on Monday night in Kanawha
County, as host Sissonville claimed a 69-29
victory in the Class AA,
Region IV, Section 1 tournament.
Sissonville (17-6)
scored the game’s first
four points, but Point
Pleasant (3-20) fought
back to tie the game at
four, with 4:49 remaining
in the opening quarter.
As part of an 8-0 run,
the Lady Indians reestablished the lead with
4:20 left in the period and
never trailed again.
The Lady Knights cut
their deficit to six points,
at 14-8, by the end of the
first quarter, but they
were never that close
again.
The hosts held Point
Pleasant to just one point
in the second stanza, as
the Sissonville lead grew
to 32-9 by halftime.
The Lady Knights outscored SHS by an 8-to-7
clip over the first 4:30 of
the second half, but the
guests were scoreless for
the remainder of the third
quarter, as Sissonville
pushed its lead to 53-17.
Sissonville pushed its
lead to a game-high 43
points, at 69-26, with 30
seconds to play, but Point
Pleasant claimed the final
three points to cap off
the Lady Indians’ 69-29
triumph.
“We usually play some
good defense, but we
turned the ball over and
then fouled people,” fifthyear PPHS head coach
John Fields said. “We
gave up 14 points from

the line in the first half
and we were down 23.
We’re down nine if we
don’t give those up and
it’s still a game. Quite
frankly, that kills the girls’
attitudes. We did what we
could with what we had,
I’m proud of them. We
just have to start getting
ready for next year, and
look for bigger and better
things.”
For the game, the Lady
Indians held a 48-to-32
rebounding advantage,
including a 20-to-11
edge in offensive boards.
Point Pleasant turned the
ball over 34 times in the
game, while SHS gave the
ball away 20 times. The
Lady Indians also held
advantages in assists (17to-6), steals (17-to-7) and
blocked shots (13-to-1).
PPHS sophomore
Allison Henderson led
the Lady Knights with
11 points, followed by
Isabelle Wagelmans with
eight. Aislyn Hayman was
next with five points, followed by Morgan Miller
with three and Hannah
Smith with two.
Hayman pulled in a
team-best 12 rebounds,
while Wagelmans added
six boards. Miller and
Morgan Roush both
dished out two assists in
the setback. Smith led the
PPHS defense with two
steals, while Kelly Marr
had one steal and the
team’s lone rejection.
SHS junior Brooklyn
Campbell led the way
for the victors with 16
points, followed by Olivia
Montgomery with 15
and Mikayla Long with
14. Ashleigh McGhee
poured in seven points for
the hosts, Laila Arthur
added six, while Morgan
Jennings chipped in with
three points. Lindsey Ullman, Alexis Bailey, Alexis
Hudson and Honesty
Bragg each contributed
two points to the winning
cause.
McGhee — a 6-foot2-inch junior — marked
game-highs of 16
rebounds and six blocked
shots for Sissonville.
Arthur dished out a
game-best six assists,
Campbell came up with
a game-best six steals,
while Montgomery pulled
in nine boards and assisted on four baskets for the
victors.
The Lady Indians
also defeated the Lady
Knights in two regular
season meetings, winning
by an 84-20 count at SHS
on December 28, and by a
72-25 margin at PPHS on
January 7.
This marks the final
game in the Red, Black
and White for PPHS
seniors Aislyn Hayman,
Morgan Roush, Ashlie
Flory, Isabelle Wagelmans
and Grace Sprouse, as
well as Luiza Da Costa
and Michaela Cottrill,
who were both unable to
play on Monday.
“Three of them have
been here since sixth
grade and I love to see
them get this last chance
to work hard,” Coach
Fields said. “The other
four came in late and
helped us out. We’re
really going to miss all of
them. The ones who got
to play, I’m glad they got
to play, they played their
hearts out and everybody
here saw that.”
Sissonville’s postseason
continues on Wednesday
evening, when Poca hosts
the Lady Indians.

half, led by as much as

in the past decade under
the guidance of Persin.
Persin has 706 all-time
career coaching victories,
which ranks third all-time
in Ohio.
His Oaks finished fifth
in the final Associated
Press Division III statewide poll, which was
released on Monday.
But Drummond and the
underdog Raiders hope
some history repeats
itself on Saturday.
“Let me tell you a
little story. Back in 1998,
Norm Persin and Chesapeake came to River Valley 19-0. He left 19-1,”
said the coach. “I’m sure
he is no stranger to what
we are doing and they
will slow the tempo. We
know how many wins he
(Persin) has, but we also
know what we’re going
to get with them. We’ll
come in the underdog,
but we were the underdog
tonight. People on the
Internet thought we were
going to lose by anywhere
from 15 to 25 (points)
tonight. But when a few
shots go in, who knows.
It’s tournament time.”
Raiders

Scott Schebler settled in, ready to win
GOODYEAR, Arizona
(AP) — Scott Schebler
needed a year to settle in.
Now he’s ready to win.
A year ago Schebler was
new to the Reds and was
competing with Adam
Duvall, another newcomer, for playing time in
left field.
“I think the biggest
thing is I know people
now,” Schebler said. “Not
knowing anybody here
was uncomfortable for me.
This year is different.
“I really think this
team can surprise people.
Clubhouse environmentwise, I haven’t seen much
better than here. All the
guys have one goal in
mind. The talent is here if
we perform with consistency.”
Schebeler spent six seasons in the Los Angeles
Dodgers organization after
LA drafted him in the
26th round in 2010. The
Reds traded Todd Frazier
in a three-team deal in
which Cincinnati acquired
Schebler, Jose Peraza and
Brandon Dixon.
Schebler was impressive
enough to make the team
out of spring training,
when he hit .288 with
three home runs and 15
RBIs. Schebler came off
the bench on opening day
and hit a decisive two-run
double off Philadelphia’s
Dalier Hinojosa.
There was little success
other than that. Schebler
hit .175 in 26 appearances
(14 starts). He was sent
to Louisville to get regular
playing time on May 8.
“It was a totally different ballgame than spring
training,” Schebler said.
“It is a totally different
feel once you get into
a season. The speed of
the game is a lot quicker.
Then to be platooning and
not getting every day atbats, was just something
I’d never done before. To
do it on that stage was
really tough.”
Schebler tried to battle
through and was starting
to feel comfortable in the
role, but Duvall was taking off on his way to an
All-Star season. Manager
Bryan Price is not a big
fan of the platoon system
and the team had Jay
Bruce in right field and
Billy Hamilton in center.

Encarnacion gives Indians booming bat
GOODYEAR, Ariz.
(AP) — As fans lining
the chain-linked fence
next to Cleveland’s main
practice field jockeyed for
better position to snatch
an autograph or selfie
with the team’s newest
star, Edwin Encarnacion
showed no emotion.
With his glove balanced
on his head, Encarnacion
signed baseballs, bats,
cards and whatever else
was thrust in front of
him. He didn’t seem to
be enjoying himself and
appeared disinterested,
distant.
That’s when one fan
pleaded for a little more.
“Hey,” he told Encarnacion. “You know you can
smile. You’re with Cleveland now.”
On cue, Encarnacion
beamed a smile that
brightened an otherwise
gray day in the desert.
There’s a lot of toothy
grins on display these
days with the Indians,
whose signing of Encarnacion to a three-year,
$60 million contract
— the richest in team
history — as a free agent
this winter gives the AL
champions a middle-ofthe-order slugger unlike
any they’ve had since
Albert Belle, Jim Thome
and Manny Ramirez
anchored some of those
potent Cleveland teams in
the 1990s.
After eight seasons in
Toronto, Encarnacion has
a new home — and an
unexpected one.
When free agency
opened, the small-market
Indians were perceived as
the longest of longshots
to sign Encarnacion, who
hit 42 homers and led
the league with 127 RBIs
in 2016. There were as
many as four other teams
better financially positioned to sign the 34-yearold, who seemed destined
to resume his career in
Boston or Texas or anywhere but Cleveland.
But he chose the
Indians because of their
potential to be playing
again deep into October.
“I made the decision to
Ross D. Franklin | AP
Cleveland Indians’ Edwin Encarnacion, right, and Carlos Santana, left, laugh at the team’s baseball
spring training facility Sunday in Goodyear, Ariz.
come here, because here
I have the opportunity to
win the World Series,”
said Encarnacion, whose
193 homers over the past
five seasons are the second most in the majors.
“This team, they look
great and I think they
have great, young talented players here. We have
a lot of opportunity to be
in the World Series again
and win it.”
Encarnacion’s arrival
cements the Indians as
the team to beat.
He fits perfectly into a
stacked lineup that will
include young stars Francisco Lindor and Jason
Kipnis and could have
back Michael Brantley
after the former All-Star
outfielder played in just
11 games last season.
One thing is certain:
manager Terry Francona
knows who will be batting cleanup.
“You put a bat in the
middle that you’re not
penciling in, you’re putting it in ink,” Francona
said.
But while the threetime All-Star has established himself as one of
baseball’s most feared hitters, Encarnacion doesn’t
flaunt his status or celebrity. He’s happy being one
of the guys.
Before signing him,
the Indians wanted to
assure they were bringing
in a player who would
enhance their culture
— not threaten it. It’s
early, but Encarnacion
has shown none of the
trappings of stardom. He
goes about his business
quietly, and whether he’s
lifting weights or watching video to break down
his swing, there’s a sense
of purpose to everything
he does.
Nothing flashy, just
driven.
“I’m not sure shy is
the right word,” general
manager Mike Chernoff
said in describing Encarnacion. “I think reserved.
He definitely has a presence. That has been clear
since the minute he got
here. But I think he’s
much more of a quiet,
lead-by-example type of
guy. We did a lot of work
on him in the offseason
with our scouts and
reaching out to contacts.
And everybody said on all
fronts that he is a leader,
but he doesn’t do it in
that kind of loud, vocal
way.”
Encarnacion made an
early impression on his
new teammates following
the club’s first full-squad
workout by going all out
in the team’s “Warrior
Run” or “Beep Drill,” an
unforgiving, go-until-youdrop conditioning test
the club uses to assess
player’s fitness.
Although he probably
could have talked his
way out of participating,
Encarnacion ran until he
couldn’t run anymore.
“He has presence just
walking in the building,
there’s no doubt about
it,” said pitcher Mike
Clevinger. “But watching
him do the beep test, he
wasn’t the front runner,
but he was trying and
stuff like that, especially
to us younger guys, that
was outrageous to see.
I didn’t expect that. No
disrespect to him, but I
didn’t think he was even
going to do the beep test,
but he was out there busting his butt and it was
cool to see that.”
NOTES: LHP Andrew
Miller, who has ramped
up his activity earlier
in camp to be ready for
the World Baseball Classic, pitched live batting
practice to three hitters
during Monday’s workout under sunny skies.
Although none of the
batters swung, third baseman Jose Ramirez left
the field without saying
a word and shaking his
head — a sign Miller’s
electric stuff was working. … 2B Jason Kipnis
did not take any grounder
during infield drills.
Francona said Kipnis was
not injured, but he was
given time off as part of
a strengthening program
designed to protect his
shoulder.
After Huggins’ scary
moment, No. 12 WVU
beats Texas 77-62
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Bob Huggins
fell to his knees and clutched his chest during a
scary moment just before halftime.
West Virginia players picked up their coach,
got him to the bench and made his job easier by
maintaining a comfortable lead the rest of the way
Monday night.
Jevon Carter had 24 points and Lamont West
had a career-high 23, helping the 12th-ranked
Mountaineers roll to a 77-62 win over Texas following Huggins’ frightening fall.
Huggins went down on the court during a timeout just before the half, and his players quickly
came to his aid. Huggins stood, briefly massaged
his chest and returned to the sideline.
Huggins said his defibrillator went off, but he
returned to coach in the second half and finished
the game.
“It comes out of nowhere,” Huggins said. “Well,
I guess I got a little lightheaded, which I do when
I stand up too fast sometimes. A lot of that’s old
age, and a lot of it is some of the medication I
take.
“Then, I mean honestly, the defibrillator went
off,” Huggins added. “But, that’s second time it’s
been going off. It goes off and what it is, it just
shocks your heart back into rhythm.”
The 63-year-old Huggins had a heart attack at
the Pittsburgh airport in 2002 when he was the
coach at Cincinnati. He was back in his office two
weeks later.
Texas coach Shaka Smart later exchanged well
wishes with Huggins.
Once it was apparent their coach was OK, the
Mountaineers continued rolling over the Longhorns. West made 6 of 8 tries from 3-point range,
helping WVU (22-6, 10-5 Big 12) shake off a slow
start.
“When I’m on the court, I always feel like I’m
going to hit a shot,” West said, “but today was just
a different feeling.”
Carter also grabbed 10 rebounds for his third
double-double of the season, and Elijah Macon
had 10 points.
Texas started the game on a 12-2 run but trailed
46-32 at halftime. Jarrett Allen led the Longhorns
(10-18, 4-11) with 17 points.
“We really wanted to come out and be the more
aggressive team to start the game,” Smart said. “I
thought our guys did a good job of that.”
BIG PICTURE
Texas has lost four straight and five of six. The
Longhorns have upcoming games against No. 3
Kansas and No. 9 Baylor, so a strong finish does
not look likely.
West Virginia clinched a bye in the Big 12 Tournament with its fourth win in five games. WVU
had two players score 20-plus points for the first
time this season.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Texas has yet to win a road game this season.
The Longhorns are on a 15-game losing streak
away from home dating to the Big 12 Tournament
last season. Texas has one remaining road game at
Texas Tech, on March 1.
No. 12 Ohio State uses hot start to upset No. 2 Maryland
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Ohio State got off to a sizzling
start and then held off Maryland
to get one of the biggest wins in
school history.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 31
points to lead five players in
double figures as the 12th-ranked
Buckeyes shot 63 percent from
the floor in taking down the No.
2 Terrapins 98-87 on Monday
night. The Buckeyes haven’t
beaten such a highly ranked team
in 24 years.
Ohio State (24-5, 14-1 Big Ten)
scored 35 points in the first 10
minutes on 14 for 18 shooting,
led by nine at the half and held
on as Maryland rallied in second
half.
The victory had Ohio State forward Shayla Cooper waxing lyrical afterward. Cooper played her
last game at Value City Arena,
which on Monday contained a
vocal, hyped-up crowd of 6,500.
“When the ball is moving like
that, it’s so beautiful,” she said.
“It’s like an orchestra out there.
It’s just like soft jazz music. It’s
just so beautiful, and everyone
was feeling it. It’s just a beautiful
sight.”
Thanks to a 14-0 run at the end
of the third quarter, Maryland
climbed back in the game and
was down by two at the start of
the fourth. They trailed by six
with 1:29 left, but had to start
fouling and couldn’t make up the
deficit.
The loss was only the second
for the Terps this season and
their first in the Big Ten. Their
last was a six-point setback to
No. 1 UConn on Dec. 29.
“We’ve got to get better,” said
a dejected Shatori Walker-Kim-
brough, who led Maryland with
29 points. The Terps shot 42 percent, after averaging 50 percent
this season.
Cooper had 20 points and nine
rebounds, and Alexa Hart added
15 for the Buckeyes, who won
their 10th straight game.
Brionna Jones had 21 points
on aggressive play in the paint,
and Destiny Slocum had 15 for
Maryland (26-2, 14-1).
“I thought Ohio State was sensational,” Maryland coach Brenda
Frese. “That’s the best I’ve seen
them. Their first quarter punch
really impacted us hard. They
were really clicking on all cylinders.”
WHAT A START
Ohio State jumped out to a
35-22 lead at the end of the first
quarter, led by Mitchell’s 15,
including 3 for 4 from beyond
the arc. The Buckeyes shot an
astounding 77.8 percent in the
frame and put together a 12-0
run. They were 5 for 6 overall
from 3-point range.
“When you’ve got Kelsey
Mitchell on the floor, that can
happen a lot,” Ohio State coach
Kevin McGuff said.
After going up by 15 early in
the second quarter, Ohio State
came down to earth, and led
49-40 at the half.
“I thought we were very stagnant in the first half,” Frese said.
“I’m disappointed in our transition game. I think we didn’t push
like we normally push, and it
caused some troubles.”
