The plan was to remove the vessel possibly on Friday but with the high water and swift current, that plan was tentatively delayed until Saturday. The U.S. Coast Guard will be overseeing this project with assistance by vessels from American Electric Power’s River Division which will help remove the tow boat and barges from the area, Minsker said. No one was hurt in the incident and though it was unclear how many crew members were on the vessel, everyone was evacuated from it. The Associated Press reported the three barges were loaded with more than 3.7 million gallon of natural gas condensate when it hit the lock wall. It is still unclear what exactly happened to cause the incident. Prior to the lock chamber reopening Thursday evening, the Associated Press was reporting the Coast Guard said it left a queue of 13 vessels that were upbound and 11 downbound.

Paperwork was to be submitted to the Secretary of State’s Ofﬁce on Friday regarding the Prosecutor From page 1A tell they “care about the cases” and are good about keeping the victims informed of hearing and notiﬁcation. Serving as an assistant and then the elected prosecutor, Adkins brings a wealth of experience to his new role which will be an asset to the county. “I’m very excited to welcome Jeff into the ofﬁce. He has a tremendous amount of legal experience, and approval of a new board member to ﬁll the vacancy left by Slavin. Paula Wood was nominated by the Democratic Party for the position, pending approval from the Secretary of State’s Ofﬁce. Speaking with the Sentinel following Friday’s meeting, Wood said she has always been intrigued by the election process, although she did not want to run for a political ofﬁce. Wood is no stranger to the election process or the workings of the Board of Elections, having been an election night poll worker for 20-plus years, as well as helping out in the Board of Elections ofﬁce during their busier times. Wood retired ﬁve years ago after working in the public sector for a number of years, and said that joining the Board of Elections would allow for her to continue to be involved in the public sector. There is no speciﬁc time frame for approval of the appointment from the state, although it is not anticipated to be an extended period of time before the board hears a decision on the appointment. The next Board of Elections meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on April 11. more importantly, he has a tremendous amount of experience as a prosecutor. That, coupled with his wealth of knowledge of both criminal law and civil law, made him an obvious choice to join our team,” said Stanley. Adkins will handle a variety of duties in Meigs County, including some felony cases, juvenile court and working with other county elected ofﬁcials. On Friday, his second day on the job, Adkins was reviewing case ﬁles for the upcoming week, as well as meeting with township ofﬁcials. Adkins said that many of the same issues he saw in Gallia County are the same as those in Meigs County with the drug issues. “Never enough cops and too many people selling drugs,” said Adkins. Also joining the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce is Terri James. James will serve a legal secretary in the ofﬁce after having spent approximately 29 years as a secretary in the Gallia County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce. She will be a “very valuable asset for our ofﬁce,” said Stanley.

It usually develops slowly and is now the second leading cause of cancer deaths, in both men and women, in the United States. Before cancer develops, an abnormal growth (a polyp) may develop in the inner lining of the large intestine or rectum. Polyps are common and usually don’t cause symptoms. But, some are dangerous and can turn to cancer over time. The American Cancer Society reports 1 in 3 Americans are not being screened; each year an estimated 150,000Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer and an estimated 49,000 will die of it. That is why awareness is so important. There are several things that increase your risk of developing colon cancer. These are: being age 50 or older; having a family history of colon cancer; certain genetic changes; a diet rich in fat and red meat; heavy alcohol use; smoking; having diabetes; lack of exercise and being obese (25 pounds or more overweight). In the early stages of colon cancer, there are usually no obvious symptoms. By the time the symptoms show themselves, the cancer may have advanced to a later stage. If you, or anyone you know, experience any of the following colon cancer symptoms, see your doctor immediately:A change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation lasting more than a few days; A feeling you need to have a bowel movement that is not relieved by having it; Blood in your stool; Cramping or stomach pain that is not relieved; Weakness and fatigue; Unexplained weight loss Screening should begin at age 50 unless there’s an earlier age of family history of colon cancer. Even if you have no symptoms, screening is worthwhile because it may: alert you to changes in your colon early enough to make a difference, ﬁnd polyps, or ﬁnd colon cancer early when it’s highly treatable. Meigs Countian Wendell Jeffers has been a colon cancer survivor for several years now. He says, “I am so glad I did the best thing for me and my family; I went to a doctor for a check-up. When I shared the few symptoms I was having, he ordered a Colonoscopy. It found my colon cancer early enough for a good result. I used to be nervous just thinking about a colonscopy. Now I am living proof that it is a real life saver”. Meigs County Cancer Initiative will meet the ﬁrst Monday of April June, August and October at noon in the conference room of the Meigs County Health Department.

Remember the 1985 Academy Awards, when she was stunned by the idea of being accepted? “And I can’t deny the fact that you like me!” she gushed. “Right now! You like me!” I could give the same speech Leonard today. Pitts Jr. I am, you see, employed in Contributing an industry that is dealing columnist with, well … let’s be diplomatic and call them “challenges.” Truth is, though, the newspaper business is “challenged” in the same sense the Titanic was “leaky.” Wherever I travel, I make a point of picking up the local paper. Almost always, it is like holding a cancer patient, some stricken friend you haven’t seen in a while. You are shocked by how thin and ﬂimsy it has become, how little substance remains. Budgets are shrinking, ad revenue is declining, some cities no longer have seven-day-a-week home delivery; some don’t even have seven-day-a-week newspapers. And now, all of a sudden: “You like me! Right now! You like me!” Which is to Amazingly, a say that lately, I’ve been hearing number of papers from readers are reporting that who say they’ve subscriptions are up found renewed since the November appreciation for newspapers as election. The Washington Post has we trudge through the Valley of the even hung out the Shadow of Trump. Help Wanted sign.... They see them as Apparently, Donald the last line of defense between Trump is good for business. Who knew? 2017 and “1984.” Initially, I didn’t attach much importance to such comments; I thought it was just a few isolated folks. But I’ve since learned that other journalists are hearing the same thing. Amazingly, a number of papers are reporting that subscriptions are up since the November election. The Washington Post has even hung out the Help Wanted sign. Apparently, Donald Trump is good for business. Who knew? I am of multiple minds about this. In the ﬁrst place, as already noted, there’s the Sally Field response. Close behind that there is a wish that some of this love had been in evidence 10 years ago when I began losing friends and colleagues to the unemployment line. And close behind both is a realization that, while an uptick in subscriptions is certainly a good thing, it is unlikely to be a panacea for what ails newspapers. The changes wrought to the business model by the technological revolution of the last quarter-century are too profound. The internet has hollowed this business out like a cantaloupe. We are, as a nation, poorer for that. In the clangorous acrimony of our hyperpartisan politics, in the forward rush to master the new tricks and the next technology, we somehow lost appreciation for the values this old technology — we’re talking things that happened yesterday printed on dead trees, for criminy sake! — brought, quite literally, to the table. When I say that, I don’t intend to signal some romantic rumination about lingering over breakfast with the sports page, or the tactile joys of ink and paper, though those things are not unimportant. But I’m talking about information, the kind of in-depth brieﬁng for which television lacks the time and Facebook, the authority. I’m talking about knowledge that equips a citizen to hold his or her government to account. I’m talking about the fact that facts matter. This is what some people seem to have belatedly remembered. It’s what seems to be prodding their return. I’m more than glad to have them back, but pardon me if I regard all this with a jaundiced eye. The newspaper, we used to say, is the watchdog of power. Well, it seems to me that some of us are only just now — i.e., since November — discovering the paradox of watchdogs: You can get along ﬁne without them. You really don’t need one. Right up until you do. Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, 3=�+�-96?783=>�09<�>2/��3+73��/<+6.M� ��L'L��@/8?/M��9<+6M��6+L� 33172.

THEIR VIEW Watching your neighborhood Increasing crime in our communities have put more pressure on local police, who are struggling with limited resources, stafﬁng and other issues that impair their ability to effectively respond to calls for help. At times, the number of emergency calls coming in to local police, sheriff and state ofﬁcers’ headquarters can be overwhelming. Blame it on a full moon or whatever, law enforcement in our supposedly sleepy part of the world sometimes spend an entire shift or two in answering calls for everything from theft to roadside assistance. That’s why the establishment of Neighborhood Watch groups around the area assist police in many ways, especially in rural areas. A Neighborhood Watch doesn’t take action when a member spots criminal activity in progress; he or she calls the appropriate agency and alerts ofﬁcers to what’s going on. The action helps prevent a crime from occurring, or at least provides information that can help solve a crime. It’s a concept that’s been around for awhile, but remains safety as they are as viable and usewith that of the ful in keeping our general public. communities safe Neighborhood as when it came Watch members into being some 30 are the eyes and or more years ago. ears of the comA Neighbormunity. hood Watch group Kevin Full disclosure meets once a Kelly time: I am a month, basically Contributing member of the to review criminal columnist Crime Watch in activity and help my community identify areas and have been since its where it happens.

It’s been an effective tool in the areas where such organizations have existed for decades, some the subject of articles I produced back in my reporting days. A Neighborhood Watch for Gallipolis seeks new members and its request for help should be heeded by citizens. Its existence in town is just as critical as its work in the county: it helps get the job of law enforcement and justice done. In Gallia, Neighborhood Watch was a priority for Sheriff Joe Browning during his recent tenure. His successor, from all indications, appears to agree. But Neighborhood Watch is not something limited to Gallia County or Ohio in general; it’s a national movement that only asks you to perform a basic function, and that’s to get involved, know your community and do what you can to maintain its standing as a great place to live.

One thing that many younger hunters and outdoor lovers have not experienced here in Ohio, or western West Virginia for that matter, is the explosive, heart-stopping ﬂush of a ruffed grouse bursting from cover almost directly under their feet. It used to be a relaIn The tively common occurrence; you would be Open Jim walking in the woods, Freeman alone or in a group, even talking perhaps, and then (usually after you have come to a stop and start to walk again) there would be the thunderous burst as the hidden ruffed grouse erupted into the sky. When you started breathing again you would resume the hike, a little energized from the pulse-raising episode you had experienced. The ruffed grouse is a large, chicken-like bird, smaller than a wild turkey but larger than a quail, with a fan-shaped tail and mottled reddish-brown feathers that allow it to become almost invisible on the ground. They prefer to remain on the ground or on low branches, but as mentioned earlier they are fast, powerful ﬂiers – for short distances. Ruffed grouse hunting is the picture of the stereotypical upland game hunting experience: think brisk days, briar pants and orange vests, and double-barreled shotguns over pointing dogs. The dog was actually optional in grouse hunting. I remember being a youngster and grouse hunting with dad, without a dog. In retrospect I now realize that I was the dog, getting sent in to kick brush piles and clumps of briars. We would occasionally jump birds, and on even rarer occasions dad would actually take a shot. The rule was, if you actually saw a grouse on the ground, you had to ﬂush it before you could shoot. I don’t recall bringing any grouse home though. I don’t think he actually wanted to shoot them, but he enjoyed being out in the woods. I don’t personally know anyone who hunts wild ruffed grouse anymore, at least not around home. Like the grouse, grouse hunters are a dying breed as well… which actually bodes poorly for the species since in many instances the hunters are the biggest advocates for animals and habitat (think Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, National Wild Turkey Federation, etc.). Without someone to champion for the ruffed grouse what will happen? In the spring, the male ruffed grouse makes another kind of thunder when he puts on his annual courtship display by sitting on top of a fallen log and “drumming” with his wings. I still hear the drumming of male ruffed grouse when I am conducting the spring wild turkey/ruffed grouse survey, but those drumming grouse are few and far between.

Lady Eagles outlast top-seeded Notre Dame, 58-53 in double overtime By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — There’s no doubt that Thursday evening’s Division IV district ﬁnal between Portsmouth Notre Dame and Eastern will go down as a classic, it just wasn’t necessarily instant classic. It took 40 minutes, four eight-minute quarters followed by a pair of fourminute overtime periods. In that time there were six lead changes and 11 ties, and once the dust settled, the Lady Eagles had earned the right to be called district champions once again. EHS claimed its eighth alltime district crown, its ﬁrst since 2014, as the no. 2 seed Lady Eagles took a 58-53 victory over the top-seeded Lady Titans, at Jackson High School in the Apple City. “The fact that we’re a district champion is great, but the way our girls played with heart, that’s what makes me more excited,” said ﬁrstyear EHS head coach Jacob Parker. “There’s a lot of teams that can’t give that, and our girls ﬂat out gave it all tonight.” The Lady Eagles (21-3) never trailed in the opening stanza, leading by as much as ﬁve, at 11-6, midway through the period. Notre Dame (23-2) fought back to tie the game at 12 and again at 14 by the end of the quarter. NDHS tied the game three times in the second quarter, before the Lady Titans grabbed their ﬁrst lead of the game, at 25-23, with 2:06 left in the ﬁrst half. The Notre Dame lead lasted for only 22 seconds, as a Laura Pullins three-pointer gave EHS the lead back with 1:44 left in the half. Eastern outscored its foe 4-to-3 over the remainder of the period, giving the Green, White and Gold a 30-28 lead at halftime. In the ﬁrst half, Eastern shot 50 percent from the ﬁeld, while NDHS hit 36 percent of its ﬁeld goal tries. The Lady Eagles began the second half with an 8-0 run, pushing their lead to a game-high 10 points, at 38-28. However, Eastern was scoreless for the next 6:10. Notre Dame hit three straight two-pointers to end the third quarter, pulling within four points, at 38-34. Eastern scored the only point of the ﬁrst four minutes of the the fourth quarter, but the Lady Eagles didn’t make a ﬁeld goal until inside the 1:30 mark. Notre Dame took a 40-39 lead on an old-fashioned three-pointer by senior Hagen Schaefer, with 2:07 left in regulation. The Lady Titans regained the advantage just seven seconds after Eastern junior center Elizabeth Collins was called for her ﬁfth foul. Laura Pullins — who scored a game-high 34 points including all six of the Lady Eagles’ fourth quarter markers — hit a three-pointer on an assist from Alyson Bailey with 1:24 remaining in the fourth. The trifecta gave EHS a 42-40 lead and was Eastern’s ﬁrst ﬁeld goal in over nine minutes. NDHS tied the game at 42, with 40 seconds left, but EHS reestablished the two-point advantage just 18 seconds later. With seven seconds left in the quarter, NDHS junior Lexi Smith hit a two-pointer on an assist from Schaefer, tying the game at 44 and forcing overtime. The Lady Titans stuck ﬁrst in the extra session, as Schaefer made a put back basket with 3:09 remaining. Laura Pullins sank back-toback free throws to tie the game at 46 with 1:59 to play, but Notre Dame sophomore Katie Dettwiller made a twopointer just 19 seconds later to reestablish the NDHS lead. With 52 seconds left in the ﬁrst overtime, EHS sophomore Jess Parker tied the game on a two-pointer, Eastern’s only ﬁeld goal of the four-minute frame. Molly Hoover made 1-of-2 free throws just four seconds later, making the Notre Dame lead 49-48. EHS sophomore Kelsey Casto tied the game up at the line with 37 seconds left, and the score stayed tied at 49 for the remainder of the stanza. In the second overtime, NDHS again struck ﬁrst on a two-pointer by Dettwiller. Eastern tied the game at 51 with 2:44 remaining on a two-pointer by Laura Pullins, who had all of Eastern’s points in the second overtime period. Notre Dame was back up Eastern junior Elizabeth Collins (50) makes a post move against Notre Dame sophomore Katie Detwiller (11). by two with 2:14 to play, on a ﬁeld goal by Smith. With 1:58 left, Becca Pullins assisted on a Laura Pullins trifecta, giving EHS the advantage at 54-53, a lead it never relinquished. With 40 seconds to play, Laura Pullins came up with a steal, leading to a breakaway layup that extended the Lady Eagle lead to 56-53. The EHS senior then hit 2-of-2 free throws with 19 seconds left to seal the 58-53 victory. “She’s a senior, she doesn’t want it to end,” Coach Parker said of Laura Pullins, who scored 23 of the Lady Eagles’ 28 points after halftime. “She gave everything, then found the reserve tank and gave all of it, and then gave some. She pulled a senior effort tonight, that’s the only way to describe it.” Laura Pullins, along with injured senior Hannah Bailey, now has two district championships, as both were a part of Eastern’s 2014 state championship team. “I knew being a senior that I had to step up,” said Laura Pullins. “I just keep reverting back to when we were at regionals my freshman year and how hard those seniors had to work to get there. I’m trying to follow in their foot steps and lead my team there too. I want to do big things and we can do big things as a team.” In addition to Laura’s career scoring night, she pulled in a game-best 14 rebounds, while leading the EHS defense with four steals and one blocked shot. Becca Pullins scored nine points, pulled in six rebounds and dished out three assists for the victors, while Alyson Bailey marked eight points and a team-best six assists, to go with a pair of steals on the defensive end. Jess Parker scored six points and added three assists for EHS, Casto ﬁnished with one point, while Collins hauled in eight rebounds. Notre Dame — which held a distinct size advantage with three girls listed at 6-foot-or-taller — won the rebounding battle by just two, at 36-34, with a 15-to-9 edge on the offensive glass. “If anything it disrupts a lot of shots,” Coach Parker said of the Notre Dame’s size advantage. “Our guards drive the ball really well, but they’ve never driven it into the land of the trees like that. I commend the girls on ﬁnding ways to still score. Tonight, we matured a lot and it was great to see.” Notre Dame committed 21 turnovers in the setback, including three over the ﬁnal four minutes.

Parker named 2nd team All-GMAC By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Alderson Broaddus women’s basketball player Jordan Parker — a 2014 graduate of Eastern High School — recently completed her junior campaign by being named to the second team of the 2017 All-Great Midwest Athletic Conference squad. Parker — a three-time All-Ohio selection in Division IV while at EHS — led the Battlers in total points (394) and scoring average (14.1) this year while starting 25-of-28 regular season contests. Parker also averaged 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and an assist for ABC. Parker was the lone Battler chosen to the All-GMAC squads after scoring double ﬁgures in 21 of the 28 games she played in this season, which included double-digit efforts in all but two of the ﬁnal 17 regular season contests. It is the ﬁrst postseason honor of any kind for Parker at Alderson Broaddus. Headed into GMAC tournament play, the current junior has amassed 849 points in 82 games for a career average of 10.4 points. Parker — an Early Childhood Education major — is the daughter of Greg and Anna Parker of Tuppers Plains, Ohio. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Cavs top Hawks, 135-130 ATLANTA (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 43 points, LeBron James had 38 and the Cleveland Cavaliers set the NBA regular-season record with 25 3-pointers as they turned back Atlanta’s late rally to beat the Hawks 135-130 on Friday night. After Paul Millsap’s baseline jumper over James cut Cleveland’s lead to 124-123, Kyle Korver — who was traded from Atlanta to the Cavaliers on Jan. 7 — hit the record-breaking 3-pointer to pad the lead. Cleveland made 25 of 46 3s to break a record that stood less than three months. Houston made 24 treys in a 122-100 win over New Orleans on Dec. 16. Tim Hardaway Jr. made ﬁve of nine 3-pointers and led the Hawks with a career-high 36 points. Millsap had 27 points. The Cavaliers set the high-scoring pace by scoring 39 points in the ﬁrst period. The Hawks also shot well, making 55.6 percent of their shots in the ﬁrst half, but still trailed 77-60 at the break. It was an impressive showing by Cleveland, which signed free-agent center Andrew Bogut on Thursday. Bogut has not yet joined the team. Hardaway’s breakaway jam cut the Cleveland lead to six points at 121-115, but James answered with a 3-pointer. Hardaway had too little scoring help for the Hawks to keep pace with the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers made 14 of 23 3-pointers in the ﬁrst half. Cleveland ﬁnished four points shy of their season high before halftime. It had 81 points in the ﬁrst half of a 137-125 win over Portland on Nov. 23. Cleveland continued its high-scoring pace by leading 106-88 after three periods. The Cavaliers atoned for a 110-106 home loss to Atlanta on Nov. 8. It was Cleveland’s only loss in their last 12 games — including the postseason — against the Hawks since the 2015 playoffs. The Hawks retired “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s No. 44 at halftime. The number was uncovered in the Philips Arena rafters beside banners honoring numbers worn by Bob Pettit (9), Lou Hudson (23), Dominique Wilkins (21) and Dikembe Mutombo (55). Maravich’s wife, Jackie, and son, Josh, spoke at the ceremony. Welcome back, Korver Players from both benches applauded after the ﬁrst quarter when the Hawks had a video tribute for Korver. He hugged many of his former teammates during pregame warmups and was cheered by fans, some wearing his Hawks jersey, when he entered the game with 3:16 remaining in the ﬁrst quarter. Burdette named to A-10 2nd team By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com DAYTON, Ohio — University of Dayton women’s basketball player Jenna Burdette — a 2014 graduate of Eastern High School — recently completed her junior campaign by being named to the second team of the 2017 Atlantic 10 All-Conference squad. Burdette — a four-time Southeast District player of the year and four-time ﬁrst team All-Ohio selection in Division IV — led the Flyers in assists (4.7 per game) and averaged 12.0 points in 23-of-28 regular season con- tests that also resulted in a share of the Atlantic 10 championship. Burdette — the Most Outstanding Player of 2014 Division IV state tournament after leading the Lady Eagles to their only state championship — was an Atlantic 10 All-Rookie selection as a freshman in 2015, a season in which the Flyers advanced to the Elite 8 before falling to eventual national champion Connecticut. The all-time leading scorer (1,807 points) in Meigs County history was also a third team selection to the All-Atlantic 10 squad as a sophomore. Headed into A-10 tournament play, the current junior has amassed 808 points in 86 games for a career average of 9.4 points. Burdette was one of a trio of Flyers chosen to the A-10 second team, joining redshirt senior Kelley Austria and senior Saicha Grant-Allen. Austria was also named the A-10 defensive player of the year. Burdette — an Exercise Science major — is the daughter of John and Jill Burdette of Coolville, Ohio.

I really want to blow this thing out of the water,” Cassill said. Pirates’ Kang gets suspended jail term for crash SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates inﬁelder Jung Ho Kang received a suspended two-year prison sentence for ﬂeeing the scene after crashing a car into a guardrail while driving under the inﬂuence of alcohol. The sentence handed down Friday by the Seoul Central District Court was a heavier punishment than the 15 million won ($13,000) ﬁne prosecutors had sought, but still clears the 29-year-old Kang to join the Pirates for the baseball season. “I am sorry, and I am repenting a lot,” Kang said after the ruling. Kang was previously ﬁned twice on drunk driving-related charges in 2009 and 2011. He is in the third year of a four-year, $11 million contract he signed with Pittsburgh in 2015 after a stellar eight-year career in South Korean profes- sional baseball. Pirates president Frank Coonelly said in a statement Friday that the team will work to secure Kang’s work visa and sit down with him before deciding whether to discipline Kang. “We look forward to meeting with Jung Ho as soon as he is able to travel to the United States and having a serious discussion with him on this issue and how he has and will change those behaviors that led to the very serious punishment that has been levied against him in Korea,” Coonelly said. According to police, Kang didn’t stop after driving a rented BMW into a guardrail at about 3 a.m. while returning to his Seoul hotel in December. The crash damaged the guardrail and the car. Police said Kang’s blood alcohol level at the time of the crash would have been 0.08 percent, which is above the country’s 0.05 percent legal limit. Last summer, a 23-year-old woman said she was sexually assaulted by Kang at a hotel in Chicago. He has not been charged. Kang had 21 home runs and 62 RBIs in 103 games in 2016 during his second season in the majors.

(AP) — Cleveland’s entire starting rotation is healthy this spring training — unlike late last season. Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar, Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin combined to win 66 games last season, but Carrasco and Salazar got hurt in September and Bauer interrupted his October with his infamous injury sustained while playing with a drone. “Where we’re situated with our pitching, the guys are starting to get to the point where the game’s not going too fast because they’ve got some years under their belt, but they don’t have so many where the wear and tear is showing,” manager Terry Francona said. “Kluber, you keep seeing him ﬁnd ways to get better. And then Danny, Carlos, they’re still pretty young. They’re in their really good years. So we’re hoping that’s one of our strengths.” Salazar sported a “Rotation of Domination” T-shirt after Thursday’s exhibition outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the likenesses of all ﬁve starters on the front. “We have the best rotation right now, that’s the way I feel,” he said. “We have the best rotation not just in the American League, but in baseball.” Mike Clevinger and Ryan Merritt likely will be available for spot starts, and possibly Cody Anderson. Clevinger said he was grateful to observe the starting ﬁve. “It’s made me work twice as hard in the offseason as I normally would, just knowing what they’re bringing to the table every day, knowing what I need to do to be a part of this team and keep producing,” Clevinger said. “That was a huge role model-like experience for me to watch all of them compete.” Salazar, an All-Star in 2016, made his second spring training start Thursday. He missed time toward the end of the regular season with a strained forearm muscle and was also dealing with elbow soreness. “When I pitched in the World Series I was 100 percent, I just wasn’t able to go ﬁve or six innings because that takes time,” Salazar said. “Knowing that we have the same guys this year, everybody saw what we could do.” Kluber and Tomlin are not pitching in exhibitions yet but were scheduled for simulated games on Friday. After Cleveland’s lengthy 2016, the two are to make their ﬁrst exhibition appearances next week. “Our pitchers work hard and prepare well and I feel like they’re always ready. I think that’s why we had a lot of success last year,” catcher Roberto Perez said. “If we had (Carrasco and Salazar) healthy all season, I think we’d have had a great chance to win it all. And that is great motivation for this year, to work our way back and win the World Series.” NOTES: Salazar walked three and struck out two in two innings, allowing a run and one hit. He threw 42 pitches. 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Free agency 2017: A look at the crop NEW YORK (AP) — Free agency is not the lifeblood of NFL teams. The draft remains the most signiﬁcant means by which to build and fortify a franchise. Yet, as the salary cap increases exponentially each year under the 10-year labor agreement reached in 2011, the lure of veterans on the open market can be powerful. Not only do clubs who manage their ﬁnancial structure wisely have increased funds to spend, they can get quick improvement that doesn’t normally come from rookies. To Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman, it’s unusual to see how much money is available for spending, and not just in Carolina. “Different since I got here,” he said. “We had to cut guys to get under, then the next year I think we had to touch one or two contracts to get under, then the last three years we’ve been able to create separation, sort of. “Meanwhile, you’ve got teams that have got crazy money under the cap. It gives you ﬂexibility. It allows you, for lack of a better term, it allows you to expand your thought process.” The Falcons (Alex Mack, Mohamed Sanu), Giants (Damon Harrison, Olivier Vernon, Janoris Jenkins) and Raiders (Bruce Irvin, Kelechi Osemele, Donald Penn) scored in a big way in 2016. The Bears (Danny Trevathan), Dolphins (Arian Foster) and Texans (Brock Osweiler) not so much. With the 2017 crop lacking big-time difference makers, that extra $12 million each team has to spend might get spread around a bit more. Then again, overspending has become second nature in free agency for far too many teams. Head of the class There were four All-Pros whose contracts were up after the 2015 season. Von Miller, Eric Berry and Doug Martin returned to their teams. Josh Norman had the franchise tag dropped by Carolina and scored big with a ﬁve-year, $75 million deal in Washington. Four top guys who won’t be going anywhere: Le’Veon Bell , RB, Pittsburgh — The Steelers tagged their all-world back and he won’t be leaving Steel City. Eric Berry, S, Kansas City — He threatened to sit out 2017 rather than be tagged again and he won, getting a long-term deal as the league’s highest-paid safety. Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington — When a good but not great quarterback such as Cousins is making more than Super Bowl winners, it shows how valued (and overvalued) the position can be. Jason Pierre-Paul , DE, New York Giants — The Giants are convinced he’s found ways to be consistently dangerous despite his hand issues from 2015 ﬁreworks accident. Still on teams’ radars: Alshon Jeffery, WR, Chicago — If he stays Winslow Townson | AP Images for Panini Cincinnati Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth, left, blocks against the New England Patriots during an Oct. 16 NFL game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The draft remains the most significant means by which to build and fortify a franchise. Yet, as the salary cap increases exponentially each year under the 10-year labor agreement reached in 2011, the lure of veterans on the open market can be powerful. healthy, Jeffery can be a No. 1 target. In this passﬁrst league, that’s a must-have commodity. Latavius Murray, RB, Oakland — Teams outside of Dallas have discovered the need for two running backs. Murray pretty much would ﬁt anywhere. Andrew Whitworth, OT, Cincinnati — Veteran left tackles with versatility, leadership skills and intelligence are difﬁcult to ﬁnd. Dont’a Hightower, LB, New England — Probably the best defender on the NFL champions, and a good locker room guy. Dontari Poe, DT, Kansas City — If he isn’t the best at his position in the NFL, he’s close. Superstars without a home: Adrian Peterson, RB: Surely the former Viking will get a nice, if short, deal from a club in dire need of a ground threat who could put it over the top. Darrelle Revis, CB: He might have legal issues, and he slipped badly in his return to the Jets. If he has anything left, Revis is a ﬁnd for someone — with a short-term contract. Jamaal Charles, RB: One of the league’s most gallant and versatile players, but his knee problems might be too much to overcome. Next in line These players are not far behind those above, but some come with signiﬁcant questions marks. Listed alphabetically: A.J.

I go home opmental Disabilities at night feeling as though I have made a Month,” a time to raise difference in a life.” awareness of those with a disability, to promote an understanding of their lives and more importantly, their abilities. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed March “National Developmental Disabilities Month.” Even then, he was quoted as saying, “New opportunities have been created through the efforts of those with developmental disabilities and their family members, along with professionals and ofﬁcials at all levels of government. Working together, they have brought about signiﬁcant changes in the public perception of young people and adults with developmental disabilities, opening new doors to independent and productive lives. One important new milestone is the fruitful partnership between government and the private sector in ﬁnding productive employment for people with developmental disabilities, people who might otherwise have been destined to a lifetime of dependency.” The Gallia County Board of Developmental Disabilities (GCBDD) is celebrating its 50th year of providing services to people with developmental disabilities and their families. Many of the services provided are through the adult day facilities which serve close to 40 adults with developmental disabilities at the Gallco Workshop. Mary Varney has been an employee for 32 years of the 50-year history of the workshop. She started as a kindergarten aide at the Guiding Hand School and now works as the — Mary Varney secretary for the Gallco Workshop. “For someone starting out in the DD ﬁeld, I would say it is one of the most rewarding jobs that you could ever have. I go home at night feeling as though I have made a difference in a life,” she said. Vicky Russell who started with GHS in 1984 and now provides adult day services at Gallco expresses the same sentiment, “I would tell anyone starting in this ﬁeld it is very challenging and rewarding.” Tim Stout returned home to Gallia County in 1989 to accept the position of Gallco Workshop Director. “I have had the privilege of meeting and serving over 300 individuals with developmental disabilities over the past 28 years. It has been extremely rewarding over the years to watch individuals grow and develop new work and personal skills,” he said. “It is satisfying to see their reactions on payday when they receive a paycheck for all the excellent work they have done. It has also been very gratifying for me to see that when they attend and work at Gallco that it gives them a lot of self-conﬁdence and self-esteem.” “Employment is a key objective for the GCBDD to assist Gallia residents with developmental disabilities to ﬁnd work. Many want to be active participants in the community,” said Pamela Combs, superintendent of GCBDD who ﬁlled the position left by the retirement of longtime superintendent Rosalie Durbin. Stout continued to express positive outcomes regarding services in Gallia, “One of the most rewarding experiences has been the opportunity to see individuals getting competitive jobs in the community as well as watching them and others move into their own homes and becoming parts of their community.” Gallco is looking forward to being part of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival on March 18 in Gallipolis. With changes coming to the Ohio community for those with developmental disabilities, family and caregivers, services have gradually been moving towards privatization resulting from the effects of a U.S. Supreme Court decision and Ohio’s Department of Developmental Disabilities. Gallco serves area residents of the age 22 Over 5 million Americans are determined to have a developmental disability. According to the DD Act, the term developmental disability means a severe, chronic disability that occurs before an individual is 22 that is likely to continue indefinitely and results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, economic self-sufficiency. These impairments require the individual to sustain lifelong or extended supports or assistance. Diagnosed conditions may include autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or spina bifida.

Many want to be active participants in the community.” — Pamela Combs and older and has around 40 clients. Residents work at Gallco roughly six to seven hours a day. According to Combs, PALS out of Columbus will soon be assuming administration of the Gallco facility during the transition period. The organization has agreed to keep employees with the same beneﬁts or higher and Combs said Gallco and the board is excited for those facing coming changes with the hope of a smooth transi- tion. For residents wanting to learn further skills, PALS offers college courses to residents. For more information regarding GCBDD and services provided visit Facebook: GalliaCoDD.

The GHM! Committee, with assistance from Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, gathered community data through the use of assessments, focus groups, and surveys which was then used to create the Community Health Assessment (CHA). Get Healthy Meigs! used the data from the CHA to identify a list of priority areas that the members can work on to make improvements for the overall health of the community. Each of the priority areas has no fewer than ﬁve goals. The priority areas are as follows:Substance Abuse — Reduce rates of drug and alcohol use in the community. Reduce rates of depression, suicide, and drug overdose deaths. Maternal and Child Health — Reduce teen pregnancy, unintended pregnancy, childhood obesity, prematurity, infant mortality, maternal smoking, poor nutrition, drug use/addiction, increase prenatal care and breastfeeding. Workforce Development — Improve the county’s social determinants of health and health inequities including unemployment, education levels, poverty, poor housing, uninsured/cost of healthcare. Chronic Illness — Reduce high morbidity rates, chronic disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, obesity, strike, increase prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Healthy Behaviors — Reduce high tobacco use, high obesity, inadequate nutrition, increase physical activity, preventative care. The MCHD thanks community partners for their participation, and the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College for technical assistance in writing the CHIP. A ﬁnal copy of the CHIP will be located on the MCHD’s website www.meigs-health.com. The Community Health Assessment is already posted on the website. For questions or to volunteer assistance with the priority areas, please call the Michelle Willard at (740)992-6626. Michelle Willard is an administrative assistant/accreditation coordinator with the Meigs County Health Department South Gallia teachers present lesson on local history Staff report South Gallia High School teachers recently shared a lesson with Jeff Fowler’s American History class. Focusing on the westward expansion and the Native Americans in the area, Fowler presented an informative lesson on the local Native tribes, their religious beliefs, and customs during the mid to late 1800’s. Ryan Shafer brought in his own personal artifact collection and discussed with the students the purpose of many different items, such as those used for hunting, ﬁshing, and tanning hides. Dian Fleming talked about the importance of the buffalo to the tribes and various hunting practices. The students were treated to bison tortillas and baked Indian pudding as part of this cultural experience prepared by Fleming and Linda Donohue. Much of the information for this lesson was derived from sources provided by the Landmark Moments Fellowship Program, directed by Dr. Denise Shockley, superintendent of the Gallia-Vinton ESC. Courtesy Pictured in the photo are Linda Donohue, Ryan Shafer, Jane Ann Slagle, consultant with ESC/Landmark Moments Fellowship, Dian Fleming, and Jeff Fowler.

Green celebrated her big day with family and loved ones. Pittsburgh: Warhol, August Wilson and best cake in America PITTSBURGH (AP) — If you’re planning a trip to Pittsburgh, you’ll need to learn a few things. Yinz is local for y’all. Carnegie is pronounced Car-NAY-gie (as in Andrew Carnegie, who made a fortune in Pittsburgh’s steel industry, and whose name adorns libraries, museums and more.) And you don’t get French fries WITH your sandwich at Primanti’s. You get fries ON your sandwich. The city offers plenty for sports fans: Pirates baseball, Steelers football, Penguins hockey. But you can also build an itinerary around food and the arts. After all, Andy Warhol and August Wilson are native sons, and Prantl’s bakery is said to sell the “best cake in America.” Primanti’s sandwiches and Prantl’s famous cake — a burnt almond torte — are hardly Pittsburgh’s only classic local eats. The best way to start your day here is with breakfast at Pamela’s, preferably a crepe-like pancake stuffed with strawberries, brown sugar and sour cream. Besides Primanti’s, another old- school sandwich with a twist is found at Max’s Allegheny Tavern , a German restaurant in Pittsburgh’s Deutschtown neighborhood. Here you can get a sandwich served on potato pancakes instead of bread. The Strip District is lined with ethnic food markets (Asian, Middle Eastern, Mexican) and specialty shops, from La Prima, which serves excellent Italian coffee and pastries, to Penn Mac for cheese. The neighborhood comes alive with shoppers and vendors on Saturday mornings. At the Conﬂict Kitchen , located in Schenley Plaza near the University of Pittsburgh, the ever-changing breakfast-and-lunch menu is inspired by the cuisine of places that have been in conﬂict with the U.S., like Iran and Cuba. Seating is outdoors, so go on a nice day. In the Squirrel Hill neighborhood, the Dobra teahouse offers cozy seating and a vast tea menu that includes unique drinks like cold “beer tea.” Stop by for a Sweetheart of a deal!!
