Nellis selected as next OU president
Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com
ATHENS — The Ohio
University Board of
Trustees, in a unanimous
vote, formally elected Dr.
M. Duane Nellis as the
21st president of Ohio
University during a special meeting of the board
on Wednesday.
Dr. Nellis, 62, who
earned his doctorate in
geography from Oregon
State University, is the
past president and currently serves as a University Honors and Geoscience Professor at Texas
Tech University — a role
he has held since January
2016. He was the President of Texas Tech from
2013 to 2016.
Ohio University’s
incoming president has
agreed to a six-year term,
beginning July 1, 2017,
with an initial annual
base salary of $475,000.
Nellis was one of four
finalists for the position
who were brought to the
Ohio University campus
for public forums. In
the weeks since those
forums, three of the four
candidates for the position had dropped out of
the running for the position.
Dr. Nellis shared that
he was eager to begin
his journey as Ohio University’s next president.
He said, “Serving as the
21st President of
Ohio University
is great and deep
honor. Ruthie and
I feel privileged to
join this wonderful community
and make this our
Nellis
home.”
Dr. Nellis
praised the University
on its past successes
and stated goals for his
tenure as president. “I
am looking forward to
the opportunity to build
upon Ohio’s current successes and to push the
university into greater
national prominence
and increasing its status
as a nationallyrenowned research
institution.”
Board of Trustees Chair David
Wolfort lauded the
work of the search
committee and all
of their efforts that
led to a successful
search in naming Dr. Nellis to the position.
“The Search Committee brought us a wonderful slate of candidates;
the public forums were
civil, constructive, and
insightful; and the comments we received were
thoughtful and discerning. I cannot thank the
community enough for
their support and advice
throughout this process.
We strived to conduct a
transparent and inclusive
search. The reward has
been the successful completion of a process that
has brought students,
faculty, staff, community
members and alumni
closer together.”
A native of the Pacific
Northwest, Dr. Nellis
has a progressive and
broad career in higher

Shannon Scott conducted the lecture series event on Pomeroy’s First Ward on Friday evening at
Grace Episcopal Church.
Learning our history
By Michael Hart
Special to the Sentinel
POMEROY — Grace
Episcopal Church’s
pews were filled Friday,
though not with parishioners. The large crowd
gathered to hear Shannon Scott’s lecture on
Pomeroy’s First Ward, a
critical area for AfricanAmerican history in
southern Ohio.
Friday’s presentation
focused on three black
men who shaped early
Pomeroy, which had a
sizable black population
through the end of the
Civil War.
“I wanted to introduce
these people that had
been so successful in the
nineteenth century, in a
time they had to overcome so much,” Scott
said. “The things they
made their way through
just to be smart, just
to educate their fellow
man.”
A large crowd filed Grace Episcopal Church on Friday evening for
the lecture on Pomeroy’s First Ward.
Scott read passages
from the History of
the Jones Family, and
excerpts from a variety
of poems and speeches
crafted by the lecture
subjects — John L.
Jones, James McHenry
Jones, James Edwin
Campbell. The men
were educators, authors,
poets, and strong community pillars during
their life, “from time
where it was dangerous
to have an education,”
described Scott.
Scott fielded audience
questions for the final
15 minutes, both on the
lecture material and his
continuing research into
African American history
in southern Ohio.
Pulling from large
stack of notes, Scott

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Offenders on
parole who commit
technical violations
like missing mandatory meetings wouldn’t
automatically be
returned to prison
under a bipartisan
effort announced
Wednesday as a way
of reducing Ohio’s
prison population.
The bipartisan state
Senate legislation also
would allow more
offenders to petition
to have their records
sealed and give judges
more discretion when
sentencing inmates
to parole. In addition,
it would put more
emphasis on rehabilitation in an effort to
keep more nonviolent
offenders in their
communities.
The proposal is one
of a series of efforts
during the past few
years seeking to
reduce the state’s
bulging prison population by changing
how Ohio punishes
offenders.
The goal is a fair
and equitable criminal justice system,
said state Sen. Charleta Tavares, a Columbus Democrat.
“Not every violation of the law
necessitates a stay
in prison,” Tavares
said. “We are trying
to do right by the
citizens of Ohio by
creating a justice system that rehabilitates
and reforms those
who have offended,
not just places them
behind bars.”
If offenders are
doing their best to
rehabilitate themselves, it doesn’t
make any sense to
send them back to
prison for minor violations of their parole,
said state Sen. John
Eklund, a Republican

ROSS “BUD” JUNIOR STEWART
POMEROY — Ross
“Bud” Junior Stewart,
83, went to his heavenly
home on Feb. 21, 2017,
while at Overbrook Nursing Home. His devotion
to his family and his firm
belief in God supported
him in his struggles
and ultimately gave him
peace. Ross was an active
member at the Rutland
Freewill Baptist Church
for many years; he was a
deacon and a song leader.
Bud was born to the
late Ross and Elizabeth
Stewart in Syracuse,
Ohio on May 14, 1933.
Bud was a hardworking
husband and father. He
retired from Midwest
Steel in 1980 where he
was a foreman. Bud was
outspoken, but anyone
who knew him knew just
how kindhearted and loving he truly was. Everywhere he went he was
ready to share the gospel
of Jesus Christ; he was
someone always willing
to pray for others.
Bud was blessed with
a large and loving family. He is survived by his
wife, Jean Stewart; his
four sons, Mike (Sharon),
Steve (Kelly Leigh),
Kelly, and Kevin Stewart;
his two daughters, Diane
(Pete) Hendricks and
Darlene (Don) Gambill;
his six siblings, Bob
(Dorthy), Rollie (Shirley), Roger (Elaine), and
Rudy (Rosalyn) Stewart,
Jenny Lou (Jim) Clifford, and Doll Woods.
Bud also leaves behind
12 grandchildren, Chris
(April) Stewart, Jared
(Stefani) Stewart, Sheila
(John) McKinney, Travis
(Amber) Hendricks,
Jason (Brandi) Stewart,
Stephanie (Cass) Cleland,
Stacy Acree, Corey and
Ross Stewart, Chad, Ashley, and Andrea Bartrum.
Along with his grandchildren, he was blessed with
22 great-grandchildren.
Bud also had seven stepchildren and several stepgrandchildren that he
loved as his own. He will
be dearly missed by his
loved ones, who celebrate
the fact that he is at peace
with his creator.
Bud is preceded in
death by his first wife,
Wanda Stewart. Bud and
Wanda were married for
34 years in which they
raised a beautiful family.
Unfortunately, Bud lost
Wanda after a difficult
battle with cancer. He
then remarried his second wife, Trudie Stewart.
They were happily married for twenty-six years
before her passing.

Holzer has initiated a program to recognize
outstanding physicians within our health system.
Patient feedback is gathered at each location
regarding the service our physicians are providing
for the communities. Patients and family members
are encouraged to submit feedback on their physicians and the type of care they are receiving. One
physician is selected quarterly who meets standards for quality, care, service, stewardship, teamwork, and provides a
helpful and caring attitude.
For Fall Quarter 2016, Nabil
Fahmy, MD, PhD, Holzer Internal
Medicine, has been selected as the
winner of the award. A patient of
Fahmy stated the following: “I was
Dr. Fahmy
not feeling well for days, and you not
only worked me in, but stayed late
to read my reports and called me after hours on a
Friday night to check on me. You, I believe, have
gone above and beyond to make sure your patients
are ok. I just want to recognize you as a Super
Doc. Thank you and God bless you.”
Fahmy completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Mt. Carmel Medical Center in Columbus,
Ohio, and is Board Certified by the American
Board of Internal Medicine. He joined Holzer in
October 1994.
Fahmy sees patients at the Holzer Gallipolis

CUPERTINO, Calif.
(AP) — Apple has
announced that its new
headquarters will open for
employees in the spring
and will include a theater
named for its late co-founder, Steve Jobs.
Apple says in a news
release on its website that
the process of moving its
12,000 employees from its
old digs in Cupertino, California, to the new Apple
Park nearby will begin in
April and will take more
than six months to complete.
The 175-acre campus
includes a 2.8 millionsquare-foot main building
in the shape of a giant ring.
Apple says the building will
run entirely on renewable
energy.
The campus will also
include a 1,000-seat auditorium called the Steve Jobs
Theater. Jobs famously
unveiled new Apple products at theater events. He
died in 2011 at 56 following
a battle with cancer.
“Preneed funeral contracts are attractive
to many consumers. Funeral homes offering
that service must protect consumers and do
so in a lawful manner.”

The Attorney General’s
Consumer Protection
Division will contact consumers identified in the
audit and give them the
option to transfer their
preneed contracts to a different funeral home.
The Attorney General’s
Office also will subject
any preneed contracts
that remain with GatensHarding to increased
monitoring. That will
involve audits six months
and 12 months after the
initial audit, in addition
to annual audits thereafter. Such contracts are
typically audited once
every three years.
The settlement is independent from any other
administrative, licensing
or prosecutorial matters
between Gatens-Harding
and its owners with other
individuals and/or government agencies.
The business and its
owners also will pay
$25,000 to cover the
state’s investigation into
the matter, as required by
the settlement.

Industry: Philadelphia soda
tax killing sales, layoffs loom
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Some
Philadelphia supermarkets and
beverage distributors say they’re
gearing up for layoffs because the
city’s new tax on soft drinks has cut
beverage sales by 30 percent to 50
percent — worse than the city predicted.
Jeff Brown, who owns six local
ShopRite supermarkets, told The
Philadelphia Inquirer (http://bit.
ly/2loWwJi ) he expects to cut 300
jobs. Bob Brockway, chief operating
officer of Canada Dry Delaware Valley, has predicted a 20 percent workforce reduction by March.
City officials expect business to
rebound once customers get over
sticker shock. They suggest the
industry may be engaging in fearmongering to stop the spread of the
tax to other cities.
Mayor Jim Kenney pushed
through the 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax
on sweetened and diet beverages to
pay for nearly 2,000 pre-kindergarten slots and other programs. The
tax amounts to $1.44 on a six-pack
of 16-ounce bottles.
In dismissing reports of forthcoming layoffs, the Democratic mayor
told the Inquirer he doesn’t think it’s
possible for the industry “to be any
greedier.”
“They are so committed to stopping this tax from spreading to
other cities, that they are not only
passing the tax they should be paying onto their customer, they are
actually willing to threaten working
men and women’s jobs rather than
marginally reduce their seven-figure
bonuses,” Kenney said.
The city initially predicted a 27
percent decline in sales industrywide as a result of the tax. But
Brockway said sales in Philadelphia
were down 45 percent for his company, which distributes about 20
percent of the soft drinks sold in the
city.
Brown said beverage sales
decreased 50 percent at his stores
from Jan. 1 to Feb. 17 compared
with the same period in 2016.
“People didn’t change what they
drink,” Brown said. “They changed
where they’re buying it.”
Brockway claims beverage sales
are up about 20 percent in suburban
municipalities, and even that hasn’t
helped Canada Dry Delaware Valley
break even.
To hit its annual target, the city
needs to collect $7.6 million a
month in tax revenue. The first collection was due Feb. 21, although
details won’t be available until next
month.
Early projections from Philadelphia’s quarterly manager’s report
have the city bringing in just $2.3
million from its first collection. City
spokesman Mike Dunn said that
number is expected to rise and Kenney’s administration still believes it
will hit its goal for the year.
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Americans shrugged
off rising mortgage
rates and bought existing homes in January
at the fastest pace since
2007. That has set off
bidding wars that have
pushed up prices as
the supply of available
homes has dwindled to
record lows.
Home sales rose 3.3
percent in January from
December to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 5.69 million, the
National Association of
Realtors said Wednesday.
Steady job gains,
modest pay raises and
rising consumer confidence are spurring
healthy home buying
even as borrowing costs
have risen since last
fall. Some potential buyers may be accelerating
their home purchases to
get ahead of any further
increases in mortgage
rates. With few homes
available for sale, buyers are pressured to rapidly close a deal as they
find a suitable property.
The typical house for
sale was on the market
for just 50 days last
month, compared with
64 days a year ago.
Strong demand is pushing up median home
prices, which jumped
7.1 percent from a year
earlier to $228,900.
Just 1.69 million
homes were on the
market nationwide in
January, near the lowest level since records
began in 1999. It would
take just 3.6 months
to deplete that supply
at the current pace
of sales, matching a
record low reached in
December. Supply is
usually equal to about
six months of sales in
a balanced housing
market.
The supply crunch
will likely get worse
during the upcoming
spring buying season,
economists say, as
demand typically rises
by more than supply
during that time.
“Relative to the
number of households,
the number of homes
for sale is well through
prior historic lows,”
said Ted Wieseman, an
economist at Morgan
Stanley. “The level of
inventories could be a
much bigger challenge
moving into much higher sales in the spring
and summer.”
MARKET
TREND
Steady job gains,
modest pay raises
and rising consumer
confidence are
spurring healthy
home buying even as
borrowing costs have
risen since last fall.
That, combined with
higher mortgage rates,
could soon restrain
sales.
“We are a bit less
gloomy about housing
than a couple of months
ago but sales will not
continue to rise at their
recent pace,” said Ian
Shepherdson, chief
economist at Pantheon
Macroeconomics.
The bulk of the stronger buying is occurring
among higher-priced
properties, the NAR
said. Sales among
homes and condominiums priced at $100,000
and below fell nearly
10 percent in January compared with a
year earlier. They rose
slightly in the $100,000
to $250,000 bracket and
jumped by roughly 20
percent in homes priced
at higher levels.
Last year, low mortgage rates helped offset
rising home prices. Yet
now both are rising.
Mortgage rates have
climbed since the
presidential election.
Investors are anticipating that tax cuts,
deregulation and infrastructure spending will
accelerate growth and
push up inflation. That
has caused investors to
cut back on their bond
holdings, pushing up
yields.
The average rate for
a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.15 percent
last week, according to
mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. While that
has dipped since earlier
this month, it is much
higher than last year’s
average rate of 3.65
percent.
By some measures,
the housing market has
fully recovered from the
bust that began in 2006.
Yet its newfound health
is creating its own set of
challenges.
In high-demand
markets, mostly on the
West Coast, homes are
being purchased after
less than a month on
the market, according
to real estate brokerage
Redfin.

THEIR VIEW
Trump merely
pushing back
against liberal
media bias
By Mark Davis
Contributing columnist
Is this my lot in
life for the next four
(or more) years? The
night Donald Trump
won the White
House, I strapped
in for an expected
journey of defending
his administration
when I wished, and
criticizing it when
warranted, following
the pattern I had set
during the campaign.
But is it also my
fate to explain to
people across the
various political spectrums what the man
means at every turn?
Whether supporters
or detractors, have
we not yet learned to
speak Trump?
In the most recent
befuddlement, even
among those supposedly trained to cover
him, outrage can be
found based on the
wholly inaccurate
charge that he has
somehow launched
an attack on freedom
of the press.
As with most episodes of this type, it
began with a presidential tweet: “The
FAKE NEWS MEDIA
… is not my enemy,
it is the enemy of the
American people!”
Cue the handwringing among journalists who viewed
this as evidence of a
sinister authoritarian
plot to silence them.
Sprinkle in predictable pearl-clutching
from the usual cast of
haters, and the portrayal was complete:
Trump is using the
language of dictators
as a sign of his wish
to muzzle dissent.
Muzzle it? Has
anyone met the man?
He loves this stuff.
He didn’t want last
week’s 77-minute
press conference
to end. He lives to
mix it up with hostile media sources,
of which there is
no shortage — and
that’s whom he was
talking about in that
adolescent all-caps
reference to “fake
news.” He believes
he benefits from such
skirmishes, and there
is early evidence that
he is correct.
He is singling out
the reporters who are
taking it upon themselves to characterize
his initiatives in the
most sinister fashions: His immigration
policies are xenophobic, the geographic
travel ban was a
Muslim ban, his associates are conspiring ominously with
Russia. This is the
drumbeat across wide
swaths of the media
landscape, and unlike
most Republicans of
my lifetime, he is not
lying down and taking their dark spin.
Because we are
talking about report-
“His point is that
he has been the
target of smears
from the corridors
of media that are
supposed to keep
opinions out of
their stories. The
collapse of that
discipline has led to
America’s dimming
view of media
culture.”
ers tasked with
objectivity, it is fair
to ask: Is reporting that abandons
that responsibility
actually inimical to
the interests of the
people? It is not an
unworthy point.
And yet, there was
a smattering of writers and talking heads
over the weekend —
even Chris Wallace of
Fox News — in full
recoil, as if the president views every line
of challenging coverage as seditious.
This is part of a
larger willful blindness among those
reacting to Trump,
an intentional failure
to grasp his obvious
meaning in order to
get some licks in.
So, for anyone
still needing a crash
course:
—When he correctly identified various crimes as a consequence of porous
borders, it was not
an attack on all Mexicans.
—When he lambasted one judge for
abandoning the rule
of law in blocking
his travel ban, it was
not an attack on the
whole of the judiciary.
—And when he
roasts various media
outlets for their biases, he is not targeting the entire fourth
estate for extinction
at his mighty autocratic hand.
The only excuse for
these blown calls is
an active distaste for
Trump. People are
free to harbor such ill
will, and express it,
even for a living, if
they are in the opinion dissemination
arts.
His point is that he
has been the target of
smears from the corridors of media that
are supposed to keep
opinions out of their
stories. The collapse
of that discipline has
led to America’s dimming view of media
culture.
His willingness to
identify and push
back against the
resulting affronts is
a big part of why he
won.

THEIR VIEW
Maybe Trump isn’t a strongman at all
By Ramesh Ponnuru
Contributing columnist
By this point in his
presidency, George W.
Bush had announced
the outline of a tax plan
that, with modifications,
he would sign into law a
few months later. Barack
Obama had signed the
stimulus, a bill to expand
the children’s health-care
program, and the Lilly
Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
President Donald
Trump is having a slower
start. He has not signed
major legislation yet.
The White House has
not put out a legislative
plan on three of Trump’s
main campaign issues:
health care, infrastructure and tax reform. He
has been slower in filling
government positions
than his predecessors,
too. And the president’s
highest-profile executive
orders, on immigration,
have been stayed by federal courts.
During the campaign,
Trump frequently promised rapid action once
he took power. It is not
entirely his fault that it
has not happened yet.
Congressional Republicans put the repeal
of Obamacare on their
agenda seven years ago,
back when Trump was
still giving money to
Democratic Sen. Chuck
Schumer, but still have
not united behind a plan.
The Democrats have
fought Trump’s nominees
harder than opposition
parties usually fight presidential appointments.
But Trump has also
been slow to name
people to posts. And the
congressional disarray is
in part because Trump
did not perform one of
the usual roles of a presidential nominee: helping
to settle some of the
debates in his party over
major policies so that
everyone would work
together on an agenda.
Trump isn’t serving
that function even now.
Republicans are having a
sometimes heated debate
about taxes. Some of
them think changing the
way the tax code handles
imports and exports is
a crucial part of reform,
and some of them oppose
“Trump is doing much less to set a direction
for his party in Congress than we have seen
in decades.”
the idea. Trump first criticized the proposal, then
opened the door to it.
He has been inconstant
even about some of the
ideas he touted during
the campaign. He said
the government would
save money by negotiating with pharmaceutical
companies, and kept saying it after the election.
As president, though, he
has renounced the policy.
Trump has also established a White House
without clear lines of
authority. Republican
legal theorists have
championed the idea of
a “unitary executive”
that speaks with one
voice and acts with one
purpose. Trump is not
running an executive
branch that conforms to
the theory’s ideal.
Presidents before
Trump have changed
their minds about issues,
let congressmen hash
out issues, and tolerated
factions in their administrations. The difference
is one of degree, and it
is substantial. Trump is
doing much less to set a
direction for his party in
Congress than we have
seen in decades.
That might be a good
thing. Maybe Congress
will adjust by doing more
to set its own direction,
as befits the branch of
government to which
Article I of the Constitution is devoted.
But it will take some
getting used to. For congressional Republicans,
the problem with Trump
may not be that he is an
authoritarian strongman,
as so many of his critics
say.
It’s that he is, by the
standards to which we
have become accustomed, a weak president.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed
an agreement with Cuba
to lease the area around
Guantanamo Bay to the
United States.
In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill
creating the Federal Radio

of the Federal Communications Commission.
In 1945, during World
War II, U.S. Marines on
Iwo Jima captured Mount
Suribachi, where they
raised a pair of American
flags (the second flagraising was captured in the
iconic Associated Press
photograph.)
In 1954, the first mass
inoculation of schoolchildren against polio using
the Salk vaccine began in
Pittsburgh as some 5,000
students were vaccinated.
In 1965, film comedian
Stan Laurel, 74, died in
Santa Monica, California.
In 1970, Guyana became
a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations.
In 1989, the Senate
Armed Services Committee voted 11-9 along
party lines to recommend
rejection of John Tower

Tornadoes clip
Trimble, 58-56
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
GLOUSTER, Ohio — On a warm night, the
Tornadoes were simply on fire from inside the arc.
Visiting Southern shot a sizzling 77-percent
from two-point range, part of 60-percent overall,
as the Tornadoes topped the Trimble Tomcats
58-56 on Tuesday night in a Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division boys basketball tilt inside William White Gymnasium in Glouster.
That’s right.
Southern shot 27-of-45 on Tuesday at Trimble
— 24 field goals of which were from two-point
range on 31 attempts.
The Tornadoes needed all of those two-pointers
too, given both clubs only made three three-pointers apiece.
Southern attempted 14 and Trimble took 15
threes, as the Purple and Gold got to the freethrow line only five times.
Trimble took two-point leads after the first (1715) and third (44-42) stanzas, but Southern outscored the hosts 16-12 in the last.
The bout was tied 30-30 at halftime, but the
Tomcats shot just 37-percent on 22-of-58.
That offset the Tomcats’ 9-of-11 free-throw performance, as Trimble held a slim 26-25 rebounding
advantage — but committed 20 turnovers compared to 19 for the Tornadoes.
With the win, Southern secured fourth-place
alone in the TVC-Hocking at 9-7 — part of 11-11
overall.
The Tomcats closed their regular season at 13-9
—and 12-4 for second-place in the league.
The contest was a makeup matchup, having
been postponed from its original date due to a flu

Green eliminates Eagles, 59-50
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— Unfortunately for the
Eagles, there are four periods in a basketball game.
The eighth-seeded
Eastern boys basketball
team held the lead at the
end of each of the first
three quarters, on Tuesday
night in the Division IV
sectional semifinal inside
Meigs High School’s Larry
R. Morrison Gymnasium.
However, ninth-seeded
Green outscored EHS by
a 23-to-12 clip over the
final eight minutes to take
the 59-50 victory and the
spot in Tuesday’s sectional
final.
Eastern (9-14) — which
had won 2-of-3 games
headed into the postseason — committed just one
turnover in the opening
quarter and led 15-12
by the conclusion of the
stanza.
The Eagles never trailed
in the second quarter,
expanding their lead to
as high as seven, at 19-12
and again at 20-13. The
Bobcats (6-17) — winners
of four straight — finished
the first half with a 7-2
run, cutting the EHS lead
to two points, at 22-20.
Green took its second
lead of the game — its
first advantage since 2-0
— at 27-26, with 4:07
left in the third quarter.
Eastern regained the lead
just 17 seconds later, and
never trailed again in the
third period, leading 38-36
by the end of the quarter.
The Eagles were held
scoreless for the first three
minutes of the finale, in
which the Bobcats hit a
three trifectas and a pair
of free throws, giving the
GHS a 47-38 lead with five
minutes to play.
Eastern pulled to within
five points, at 55-50, with
30 seconds to play, but
the Bobcats hit 4-of-6 free
throws over the remainder
to seal the 59-50 win.
“We stopped executing the game plan and
we stopped executing
on offense,” EHS head
coach Jeremy Hill said.
“We started to not move,
I don’t know if that might
have been a case of being
fatigued, but when you’re
playing against a 1-3-1,
you have to attack gaps
and open seams. You have
to find shooting pockets,
but there were times when
we did do that and we
didn’t knock down the
shot.”
Eastern won the
rebounding battle by a narrow 33-to-30 clip, including a 13-to-12 edge on the
offensive glass. However,
the Eagles turned the
ball over 16 times, while
the Bobcats gave possession away 14 times. EHS
claimed a 15-to-14 edge
in assists, but Green held
advantages in both steals
(7-to-6) and blocked shots
(4-to-3).
The Eagles shot 21-of59 (35.6 percent) from the
field, including just 2-of-15
(13.3 percent) from threepoint range. Meanwhile,
Green was 17-of-45 (37.8
percent) from the field,
including 7-of-16 (43.8
percent) from beyond
the arc. From the charity
stripe, Eastern was 6-of10 (60 percent), while
the Bobcats were 18-of-28
(64.3 percent), including
12-of-19 (63.2 percent) in
the final quarter.
EHS freshman Garrett
Barringer led the Eagle
offense with 16 points and
three assists. Kaleb Hill
was next for EHS with a
double-double effort of 14
points and 12 rebounds.
Jett Facemyer — who
joined the EHS 1,000point club earlier in the
season — finished with
11 points, nine boards and
three assists in his final
high school game.
Jeremiah Martindale
scored four points and
dished out a game-high
five assists for the Eagles.
Sharp Facemyer chipped
in with three points and
three assists, while Corbett Catlett contributed
two points and a teambest three steals to the
EHS cause. Barringer,
Hill and Martindale each
blocked a shot for the
Eagle defense.
Tanner Kimbler led the
Bobcats with 24 points, 18
of which came in the second half. Aaron Johnson
posted a double-double of
14 points and 11 rebounds
for GHS, while Tayte
Carver chipped in with
13 markers. Kimbler and
Carver tied for a teamhigh with four assists
each. Rylee Maynard and
Justin Deerfield rounded
out the Bobcat offense
with six and four points
respectively.
Alex Hughes led the victors on defense with four
steals and a blocked shot,
while Johnson posted a
game-best three rejections.
Green defeated Eastern
in the only regular season
meeting between these
teams, winning by a 54-37
final, in Franklin Furnace
on February 4.
“The effort was there
in comparison to the last
time we played Green,
when we had zero effort,”
Coach Hill said. “Tonight
we gave good effort, we
just didn’t pull it out.”
This marks the final
game in the Green, White
and Gold for EHS seniors
Corbett Catlett, Jeremiah
Martindale, John Little
and Jett Facemyer.
“The four seniors have
given a lot to the program,” Coach Hill said.
“Now it’s time for the

Indians’ Brantley hopes ‘bad days’ behind him after injury
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) —
Michael Brantley has clashed
with self-doubt and depression
while pushing his body.
The former All-Star’s light is
flickering.
Brantley’s comeback from
right shoulder surgery has been
grueling for the Indians’ best allaround player, far tougher than he
or the team imagined. And as the
outfielder battles his way back,
Brantley, who played in just 11
games and watched as Cleveland
reached the World Series without
him last year, has been confronted
by his baseball mortality.
“He’s had to fight that thought
that this injury can win,” said
Indians second baseman Jason
Kipnis, among Brantley’s closest
friends.

Crenson Rogers, on
eight baskets and Southern’s only made free

As the Indians prepare to
defend their AL Central and
league titles, Brantley’s uncertain
status hovers over the talented
team’s desert spring home like
a lone storm cloud on an otherwise clear horizon. Almost every
prediction about the Indians
is framed with: “If Brantley is
healthy … “
An All-Star in 2014, when he
finished third in MVP voting,
Brantley has not been cleared to
swing at pitches, and there’s no
timeline on when he’ll be ready to
try pull a fastball into the rightfield corner.
The 29-year-old, who initially
hurt his shoulder while diving for
a fly ball at Minnesota in 2015,
was in a similar place last spring
as he and the Indians tried to get

him ready for opening day. He
began the season on the disabled
list, joined the club in late April
and then suffered an immediate
setback as biceps soreness forced
a second stint on the DL.
Despite several starts and
stops, cortisone injections and
therapy, Brantley never made it
back. The Indians shut him down
on Aug. 3 and he underwent season-ending surgery 12 days later.
Looking back, he grew from the
experience.
“I learned a lot about myself,”
he said reflecting on his difficult
2016. “You’ve got to be mentally
tough. You’re going to have good
days and bad days, but just stick
to the course, stick to the plan,
don’t try to do too much too
early, and it will all come together
for five points.
McNickle also grabbed
a team-high six rebounds.
Trimble’s Tyler Slack,
on 10-of-17 shooting
and 5-of-7 free throws,
poured in 26 points to
pace all scorers.
He nearly notched
a double-double with
a game-high nine
rebounds.
in the end.”
He believes the worst his
behind him, but that doesn’t
mean Brantley isn’t aware of his
limitations.
“I wouldn’t be standing here
in front of you if we didn’t have a
good game plan going forward,”
he said. “I’m very excited. I know
I said it last year. I’m stronger
than I was last year. A lot of
things are looking positive. It’s a
week-to-week basis but things are
going on the right foot so far.”
Whether they’ll stay there is
anyone’s guess. Brantley may
never be the same player he was
just two years ago when he batted .310, led the majors with 45
doubles and played left field at an
elite level before that fateful dive
against the Twins 17 months ago.
Randy Hixson hit four
field goals, a pair of twos
and a pair of threes,
towards 10 points.
Slack sank the Tomcats’ other three-point
goal.

the greatest to ever drive a

Johnson continues to add to
his championship collection.
Seven of ‘em, if you’ve lost

An eighth would push Johnson past Dale Earnhardt and
Richard Petty for most ever,
leaving him alone as NASCAR’s greatest.
Outside his motorhome,
Johnson scratched his beard,
tinged with a touch of grey, as
he considered what an eighth
title would mean. Johnson had
retreated to Aspen, Colorado,
over the winter, where the
snow and ski-filled days made
him want to grow his beard

The King has his feathered

Long before he fires up the

traded his race helmet for
a bicycle helmet during off

marathon before a race.
At Daytona, he biked 42
miles on Sunday morning

Carter with double-double,
leads Ohio over Miami (Ohio) Michigan’s comeback in OT
OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Jason Carter scored a
career-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Jaaron Simmons added in 21 points and Ohio cruised to a
79-62 victory over Miami (Ohio) on Tuesday night.
Ohio (18-8, 10-5 Mid-American Conference) has
won four straight and is in sole possession of second
place in the East Division conference standings.
Miami (10-18, 3-12) has lost seven of its last eight
games.
Carter was 10 of 14 from the floor and Simmons
was 7 of 10 and made all five free-throw attempts.
Mike Laster chipped in 14 points for the Bobcats.
Logan McLane scored 11 points to lead Miami.
Jake Wright and Marcus Weathers had 10 apiece.
Ohio had a double-digit lead with 2:46 left in the
first half and led 38-22 at the break. The RedHawks
pulled to 44-41 with 12:22 remaining. The Bobcats
answered with a 16-0 run and led by double digits the
rest of the way.
Smith leads with 16 as balanced
Dayton tops George Mason
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Scoochie Smith scored 16
points and three others finished with 12 each as Dayton used a 20-0 run in the second half and defeated
George Mason 83-70 on Tuesday night to clinch a
double-bye into the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament.
The Flyers (22-5, 13-2) entered Tuesday in a firstplace tie with idle VCU and have won seven in a row

13 points and 13 boards, Marcquise Moore added 12
points and nine rebounds.
There was a significant “visitor” in the building
Tuesday. The NCAA championship trophy, which is
making a tour of selected venues in advance of March
Madness, was on display in the arena’s concourse.
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Bryce Moore scored his
only points of the game on a 3-pointer from the wing
with 29 seconds left in overtime and Tucker Haymond
added two free throws as Western Michigan rallied to
defeat Toledo 61-56 on Tuesday night.
Thomas Wilder led the Broncos with 30 points
on 11-for-19 shooting, and Drake LaMont added 10
points and 10 rebounds.
Western Michigan (12-15, 8-7 Mid-American Conference) was trailing 42-27 when LaMont rebounded
a teammate’s miss and put it back up to score. That
led to a stretch where Toledo was held to seven points
in the last 12 minutes.
Each team missed a chance to break the 49-49 tie
in the last minute of regulation. Toledo (14-14, 7-8)
scored first in OT when Steve Taylor Jr. had a shot
blocked by LaMont, controlled the rebound and fed
Jaelen Sanford for a jumper.
But Haymond followed with a 3 and Wilder scored
back-to-back buckets. Nate Navigato hit a 3-pointer
to bring Toledo into a 56-56 tie but then Moore, who
had been 0-for-6 shooting, hit his lone 3. Western
Michigan has won five in a row.
Taylor paced Toledo with 17 points. Navigato was
held to five, half his average.
Bowling Green snaps 17-game
losing streak to Akron 66-65
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Dylan Frye
scored 22 points, Wes Alcegaire sank the game winning free throws with 2.4 seconds left, and Bowling
Green snapped a 17-game losing streak to Akron with
a 66-65 win on Tuesday night.
Bowling Green (12-16, 6-9 Mid-American) led by
11 early in the second half but Akron chipped away
before finally grabbing a 61-59 lead on an Isaiah
Johnson 3-point play with 2:26 left. The lead changed
hands four more times before the penultimate possession, and Akron appeared to have put the Falcons
away after a Johnson layup gave the Zips a 65-64 lead
with seven seconds left.
On the ensuing possession, Johnson was called for
a questionable blocking foul and Alcegaire dispatched
both shots at the line for the final lead change. Akron
(22-6, 12-3) advanced it past midcourt and called
timeout with 1.3 seconds left but turned it over on the
inbounds pass.
Storen aiming for Reds’ closer role, Price mulling bullpen
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) —
Drew Storen is comfortable
with his catcher, and that’s
important for a former closer
who is trying to earn the role
with the Cincinnati Reds.
Storen attended high school
in Indiana with Reds catcher
Tucker Barnhart, who lobbied
for him to join Cincinnati in
the offseason. Storen agreed to
a one-year, $3 million deal and
will be in competition for the
closer spot.
After a tough season last
year, the 29-year-old reliever
hopes that having some familiarity will help him get back
into a good frame of mind. The
right-hander went 4-3 with a
5.23 ERA in 57 appearances
last season for Toronto and
Seattle, which primarily used
him in roles other than his
accustomed spot as a closer.
“It was a big thing for me
last year,” Storen said. “You
take for granted that comfort
zone of knowing everybody.
You have to start over. It’s different.”
The Reds’ most glaring need
in the offseason was to find
a closer. They had a historically bad bullpen last season,
converting only 28 saves in 53
chances. Reds relievers gave up
a major league record 103 homers and led the NL in walks.
Storen grew up as a Reds fan
and talked to Barnhart when
he was considering signing
with them.
“It was like buying a house,”
Storen said. “You check off
a lot of boxes. By talking to
Tucker, I knew what I was getting into.”
Manager Bryan Price isn’t
inclined to name a closer.
There are several candidates —
Raisel Iglesias, Michael Lorenzen and Tony Cingrani as well
as Storen — who can pitch
more than one inning rather
than only the ninth.
“With multiple-inning guys
like them, you don’t need to
designate a closer,” Price said.
“I would really like to look at
the end of the year and see
Storen, Iglesias, Cingrani and
Lorenzen in particular to have
some saves.”
Storen would like to be the
closer, but he’s fine with Price’s
plan to share the role at the
outset.
His best seasons were with
the Nationals. He went 2-1
with a 1.12 ERA and 11 saves
in 2014, and followed it with
2-2, a 3.44 ERA and 29 saves
in 2015.
Storen’s new team is trying
to dig out from two years of a
rebuild. The bullpen is a work
in progress and will be one of
the main areas in the spotlight
as the Reds try to escape the
bottom of the NL Central this
season.
“You’ve seen the evolution
of the bullpen,” Storen said.
“You’ve seen how important
they view those last three
innings. We have a unique situation with (relievers) who can
go multiple innings. It’s going
to be a fluid situation.
