Daffodils, dandelions and other flowers are already in bloom as if it were spring. With temperatures expected in the 60s again on Thursday, local residents can enjoy one more day of spring weather in winter, before winter-like temperatures are expected to return later in the week. Weather forecasts show high temperatures expected in the 30s and 40s for the upcoming week. With the official start of spring still more than a week away only time will tell if the area is in for more winter-weather. POMEROY — Pomeroy Village County discussed time clock upgrades as well as technology for police cruisers during Monday’s regular meeting. Council discussed a variety of options for replacing the village’s employee time clock, ultimately approving $578 for a biometric system that uses ﬁngerprints and a PIN to clock in or out. Fiscal Ofﬁcer Sue Baker assembled options in a range of costs, but advised against the highest end because the village’s payroll system already handled most of the premium features offered by the more expensive services. A low tech solution was discarded after council reasoned simple punch cards were very open to abuse. Mayor Bryan Shank presented a Verizon service that would provide telemetry on police cruisers, tracking such data as GPS location, speed, and notifying dispatch whenever emergency lights are activated. Police Chief Mark Profﬁtt said the monthly cost would be $23 per vehicle (for four cars), with a $155 per vehicle installation fee waiver available in March only. The council debated the extreme invasiveness of the technology versus the public good, ultimately voting 3-2 to approve the purchase and installation. It was not speciﬁed to whom, and under what circumstances, the data would be available. Passing discussion indicated the records would probably fall under a lawyer’s discovery requests An audience member said “why would we need to monitor our police ofﬁcers?” Mayor Shank replied, “In a perfect world we wouldn’t have to do this.” The council then adjourned to a See SYSTEM | 5 Good Luck Lady Eagles in Regionals from your Friends here at Farmers Bank 60708803 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, March 9, 2017 OBITUARIES Daily Sentinel MEIGS BRIEFS MAXINE J.

In an effort to help local baby charities, Fruth Pharmacy will host an event looking for babies to be the “baby face” for the company’s advertising. To participate in the event, children must be 0-36 months of age. Parents or guardians of the children are required to sign consent forms for participation and for use of the child’s image for Fruth’s advertising. There is a $10 fee to participate. The $10 fee is a non-refundable donation to purchase items for a store’s baby organization of choice. For example, a child participating in the Milton location, will help buy $10 worth of baby products for Lily’s Place in Huntington – an organization that helps babies recovering from neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Local charities beneﬁting from the event are the Mason County Baby Pantry, God’s Hand at Work and the Gallia County Outreach Center in Gallipolis and the Meigs Cooperative Parish in Pomeroy. Children participating in the event are also entered for a chance to win several prizes. Each store will be giving away a Pack N Play, Johnson & Johnson Bath Gift Set, and gift cards. There are a total of 75 prizes at the store level. Later, photos of all participants will be submitted to the corporate ofﬁce for a chance at one of four photography packages valued at $250 each. If a parent would like the opportunity to enter their child for a chance at being the “baby face” of Fruth and to help a baby organization, they need to go to their local Fruth Pharmacy by March 24 at 4 p.m. to register. The event will take place corporate wide on Saturday, March 25 at 11 a.m. If someone would like to donate, but not participate, they may drop off a needed baby item for local charities in the store’s collection box.

Lately, that sobering thought has rested uneasily on my mind — and for once politics is not the cause. You might not have guessed that today’s column would celebrate the life of a surfer friend. Just paddle out with me a bit further. I need company. It appears I have reached the stage in my life where friends and relatives are making their ﬁnal bows. To use other euphemisms, some have shufﬂed off this mortal coil, snuffed out their candle, turned up their toes, fallen off the twig, gone into that good night, joined the saints (offer not applicable to all customers), taken their earthly leave or shaken hands with the Grim Reaper. For my dearly departed surfer friend, another euphemism is better suited. He ﬁnally wiped out. It was the wave’s fault, not his. The great wave of life carries us all to the same distant shore. There’s nothing we can do but laugh bravely through our tears. I sorely miss my old friends who have passed ahead — more than half a dozen in the past two years alone. It was my friend Ian’s death in December that gave me the biggest shudder of mortality. He was my age (69) and was among my oldest mates in Australia, the sharer of my happiest younger days. He was ﬁrst and last a surfer. I was never a surfer. I was 120 pounds when surfboards were 100 pounds and long. When I managed with great difﬁculty to lift one up, the sea breeze turned me around like the blade of a turbine and drilled a hole in the sand. Ian’s family name was Oliver so friends called him Ollie. He was a journalist, which is how we met, and a good one. He worked for newspapers, a radio network and a wire service, and edited an Australian magazine for boating and ﬁshing enthusiasts. It had lots of pictures of men in boats holding large ﬁsh, the ﬁsh not looking so happy. Ollie and I shared an apartment in Brisbane, Australia. He was the coolest person I knew — loved by all, conﬁdent and creative. In other words, we had little in common except our overactive sense of humor. This trait led us to make a short horror ﬁlm — shot with a Super 8 camera — about a giant tarantula. “It appears I have reached the stage in my life where friends and relatives are making their final bows.” It was titled “The Spider That Threatened the Earth and Got Killed in the End,” a fair synopsis of the plot. After a few beers, the critics raved. Inspired, we made another ﬁlm called “Suburbicon,” featuring an itinerant clown in adventures so pretentious that people are still bafﬂed. (Just 45 years later, the Coen brothers have written a soon-to-be-released ﬁlm also called “Suburbicon.”) We never got to Hollywood and a good thing, too. With our luck, someone would have picked us from the wrong envelope at the Oscars. Instead, we went to Britain. In the end, Ollie returned to Australia and I came to America. At Christmas, Ollie would send a festive card of himself as a surﬁng Santa. But life is a beach and then you die. Skin cancer, the occupational hazard of sun worshippers, did him in. He called it “the mongrel,” as if it were a mangy dog. For three years, he bravely struggled to avoid its jaws. His memorial service was last month and I happened to be visiting Australia. When I say service, I mean a “paddle out.” The day was sunny, the surf respectfully small to honor its frequent master. His surﬁng buddies, from a club called the Table of Knowledge, veteran surfers at Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast, took his ashes out through the breakers. They were salty dudes, these unconventional pallbearers, as classic as their mostly long boards. Little was said. Ollie’s wife, Elaine, and children, Ben and Nell, welcomed the mourners gathered on the beach. The chief gnarly rider told us that to remember Ollie was to keep him alive. They paddled out and formed a circle, a few more words were said, and they splashed the waves. I had no board and stayed on the shore, but my mate Doug, cast as the clown in “Suburbicon,” had borrowed a small board — actually, too small, because he and it promptly sank. If the dead can laugh, Ollie surely did. I laughed too, just in case he couldn’t. I was sad, yes, but also glad of the truth revealed by this wave of love: In the midst of death, we are in life.

Readers may email him at rhenry@postgazette.com THEIR VIEW Wiki-flood reveals extent of spying By Cal Thomas Contributing columnist Most Americans, I suspect, have the attitude that if the government is spying on someone there is probably a good reason. In the latest document dump by WikiLeaks, Julian Assange’s outﬁt may cause some to rethink that premise. Assange, who is viewed by some as a patriot and by others as a traitor for exposing American secrets and putting the country in jeopardy, has, reports The Washington Post, “obtained a vast portion of the CIA’s computer hacking arsenal” and has begun “posting the ﬁles online in a breach that may expose some of the U.S. intelligence community’s most closely guarded cyber weapons.” The trove, reportedly, exceeds “…in scale and signiﬁcance the massive collection of National Security Agency documents exposed by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.” Assange claims that the 8,761 CIA documents account for “the entire hacking capacity of the CIA.” He promises there are more documents to come. Certain malware allow the CIA access to famil- iar U.S. and European commercial products, including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, Macintosh Windows and even Smart TVs, which, once enabled, could pick up your living room chatter. Attorney John Whitehead, who heads The Rutherford Institute, which self-describes as “A nonproﬁt conservative legal organization dedicated to the defense of civil, especially religious, liberties and human rights,” says he is not surprised at the extent of government spying. In a statement, Whitehead writes: “…government agencies such as the CIA and the NSA have been spying on the citizenry through our smart TVs, listening in on our phone calls, hacking into our computerized devices (including our cars) and compromising our security systems through the use of spyware and malware.” Whitehead calls the latest WikiLeaks revelations a conﬁrmation of what he and his organization have warned about for years, namely, that “the government remains the greatest threat to our freedoms” and “these government programs are illegal, unconstitutional, unwarranted and illegitimate. The only way things will change “Certain malware allow the CIA access to familiar U.S. and European commercial products, including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, Macintosh Windows and even Smart TVs, which, once enabled, could pick up your living room chatter.” is if we force the government to start playing by the rules of the Constitution.” I used to regard such statements as extreme and coming mainly from the left, but now I’m not so sure. There is no doubt that terrorists and American enemies, such as China and Russia, can and have used our U.S. Constitution, the freedoms it guarantees and the protection against government intrusion on our privacy and liberties against us, but does that mean that in order to protect those liberties the government must undermine them? Doesn’t that seem self-defeating? In its oversight capacity, Congress needs to explore what these documents have revealed about the CIA and its tactics. If limited government means anything, surely it means limiting government from the power to invade the privacy of its citizens without warrants and due process. As John Whitehead puts it: “That means put- ting an end to this shadow government — with its secret agencies, secret military operations, secret surveillance, secret budgets, secret court rulings and secret interpretations of the law — all of which exist beyond our reach, operate outside our knowledge, and do not answer to ‘we the people.’” This ought not be a partisan issue, though some can be counted on to turn it into one. Freedom is a precious commodity, which can never be taken for granted. It is always in danger of being reduced by the powerful without proper safeguards and watchdogs. There may be damage done to some of these government agencies and their ability to pursue real enemies, but the damage caused to the Constitution and our freedoms could be worse. Congress has an obligation to look into this ﬂood of documents and what they reveal. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, March 9, the 68th day of 2017. There are 297 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 9, 1841, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. The Amistad, ruled in favor of a group of Africans captured by U.S. authorities after they had seized control of a Spanish schooner, La Amistad, that was transporting them to a life of slavery in Cuba; the justices ruled, 7-1, that the Africans had been illegally enslaved, and should be set free. On this date: In 1796, the future emperor of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte, married Josephine de Beauharnais (boh-ahrNAY’). (The couple later divorced.) In 1862, during the Civil War, the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimac) clashed for ﬁve hours to a draw at Hampton Roads, Virginia. In 1907, Indiana’s General Assembly passed America’s ﬁrst involuntary sterilization law, one aimed at “conﬁrmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles, and rapists” in state custody. (This law was struck down in 1921 by the Indiana Supreme Court, but a new law was passed in 1927 that was repealed in 1974.) In 1916, more than 400 Mexican raiders led by Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, New Mexico, THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.” — Karl Barth, Swiss theologian (1886-1966) killing 18 Americans. During the First World War, Germany declared war on Portugal. In 1933, Congress, called into special session by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, began its “hundred days” of enacting New Deal legislation. In 1945, during World War II, U.S. B-29 bombers began launching incendiary bomb attacks against Tokyo, resulting in an estimated 100,000 deaths. In 1954, CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow critically reviewed Wisconsin Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy’s anti-communism campaign on “See It Now.” In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court, in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, raised the standard for public ofﬁcials to prove they’d been libeled in their ofﬁcial capacity by news organizations. In 1977, about a dozen armed Hanaﬁ Muslims invaded three buildings in Washington, D.C., killing one person and taking more than 130 hostages. (The siege ended two days later.) �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Pomona Grange members discuss final plans for county banquet Hemlock Grange meets Margaret Parker used “Spring” as her program.

(AP) — Long before John Stockton became synonymous with the Utah Jazz and Tim Duncan became known for playing for the San Antonio Spurs, they established themselves as household names thanks to their exploits in college. Duncan starred at Wake Forest. Stockton headlined Gonzaga. Now, they are being honored for it. Duncan and Stockton are the headliners of the latest class that will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame later this year. They’ll be joined by former Duke star Jay Williams, WinstonSalem State’s Cleo Hill, Indiana’s Scott May, Purdue star Rick Mount and Creighton’s Paul Silas. Longtime coach Bo Ryan, who led Wisconsin to a pair of Final Fours, will also be inducted during a ceremony Nov. 19 in downtown Kansas City. “Collectively, this group broke barriers, won championships, set records, competed for their country and left a lasting mark on the coaching profession,” said Reggie Minton, who heads the selection panel. “Each inductee is uniquely deserving of a permanent place in our game’s history.” Stockton spent four years at Gonzaga, where he remains the school’s career steals leader and ranks fourth in assists. The Bulldogs, now a ﬁxture in the NCAA Tournament, never achieved the same heights with Stockton on the ﬂoor in the early 1980s, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a ﬁrst-round draft pick. He had a 19-year career with the Jazz, ﬁnishing as the NBA’s career leader in steals and assists. He also helped the U.S. win Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996. Duncan led the Demon Deacons to four NCAA Tournaments in the 1990s, challenging North Carolina and Duke for ACC supremacy, and went to the Sweet 16 as a sophomore and Elite Eight as a junior. He was chosen No. 1 overall by San Antonio in 1997, and proceeded to win ﬁve NBA title and two MVP awards. Williams was one of Duke’s most decorated players, leading the Blue Devils to the 2001 national title, before the Chicago Bulls made him the second overall pick in the 2002 draft. A motorcycle accident that left him with serious injuries derailed his professional career before it really began. Hill, who died in 2015 at the age of 77, averaged more than 25 points for Clarence “Big House” Gaines at Winston-Salem State. He then became the ﬁrst player from a historically black college to be drafted in the ﬁrst round when the St. Louis Hawks chose him eighth overall. May was a standout for the Hoosiers under Bob Knight in the 1970s, shortly after Mount put together a sterling career for rival Purdue. Silas starred for the Bluejays before winning three NBA titles as a player and coaching four different NBA franchises. Ryan led Wisconsin-Platteville to four Division III national championships before leaving for Milwaukee, where he turned the low-major school into a powerhouse.

By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — The very thing that rivalries are made of. Both teams have plenty to prove as the Eastern and Waterford girls basketball teams face off in the Division IV regional semiﬁnal, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, at Jackson High School. The Lady Eagles ﬁnished ranked 10th in the ﬁnal Associated Press Division IV poll and bring a ﬁve-game winning streak into the Sweet 16. Eastern enters its ﬁrst regional tournament since 2014 with a 21-3 overall record, with two of its three setbacks coming against the Lady Wildcats. Waterford — which enters the Sweet 16 at 22-3 with a three-game winning streak — is the defending Division IV state champion and hasn’t lost to a Division IV team since since the 2015 state championship game. The Lady Wildcats were the no. 4 team in the ﬁnal AP Division IV poll and have won 16 of their last 17 postseason games. Waterford is making its 11th regional appearance in the last 12 years and is looking for a third straight regional title. Even with all of Waterford’s success, there is still one major hurdle the Lady Cats have to face. In the last three head-to-head postseason meetings, Eastern is unbeaten against Waterford, winning twice in the regional semiﬁnal and once in the district ﬁnal. The last time the two TriValley Conference Hocking Division powers met in the tournament was the 2014 regional semiﬁnal, at Jackson High School. Eastern won that game by a 47-30 ﬁnal en route to its second straight regional crown and eventually its ﬁrst-ever state title. That EHS win is its most recent victory over the Lady Cats. Also at JHS, the Lady Eagles claimed the 2012 district title over Waterford by a 47-43 count. Eastern won the 2011 postseason meeting by a 65-54 margin, in the regional semiﬁnal at Pickerington High School North. The last time Waterford defeated EHS in the postseason was March 1, 2006. WHS topped Eastern by a 44-39 count in the dis- trict ﬁnal at Jackson High School, giving the Lady Wildcats their ﬁrst district title. Together, Eastern and Waterford have represented Southeast Ohio in four consecutive state tournaments. Either EHS or WHS has been atop the TVC Hocking for 13 consecutive seasons, with the two teams ﬁnishing ﬁrst and second, or tied for ﬁrst in eight straight years. The Lady Cats have won six straight games over the Lady Eagles since their last postseason meeting, winning by an average of 15 points per game. In their ﬁrst meeting of this season, the Lady Eagles hosted Waterford on December 17, in a game which WHS won 55-48. The seven-point margin was the closest EHS had been to Waterford during the Lady Cats’ streak. Eastern bettered its performance on January 31 at WHS, but Waterford held on for a narrow 37-33 victory. “One thing about it is, we have some ﬁlm to watch,” said ﬁrst-year Eastern head coach Jacob Parker, who was named AP Division IV Southeast District Coach of the Year. “Seeing them a third time, we’ll at least have a very solid game plan going in. You put two teams like that together in the regional semiﬁnal game, the only thing that could be better is if they were playing in the state championship game against each other. I like Coach (Jerry) Close, his staff and everything they do over there. It will be a fun game and we’ll see what happens.” In the ﬁrst meeting Laura Pullins posted a game-high 21 points for the Lady Eagles, but the EHS senior was held to just six points in the second meeting. Jess Parker and Alyson Bailey both averaged eight points per game against WHS this season, while Becca Pullins averaged four and Elizabeth Collins averaged three. In the ﬁrst meeting, Eastern had the beneﬁt of some depth, as senior Hannah Bailey and junior Madison Williams had yet to be lost for the season due to injury. In both regular season meetings, Waterford has been led by the junior duo of Megan Ball and Alli Kern, who averaged 16.5 and 16 points per game respective- Photos by Alex Hawley/OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Becca Pullins lines up a three-point attempt in front of the Waterford bench, during the Lady Wildcats’ 55-48 win at EHS, on December 17. ly against EHS this winter. Kern was named AP Division IV Southeast District Player of the Year, and was joined on ﬁrst team by Ball. Another similarity between the teams is in their road to the regionals. Both teams cruised past TVC Hocking opponents for sectional championships, Eastern topping Miller 65-36 and Waterford defeating Trimble 51-24 with both games occurring at Meigs High School. In the district tournament at Jackson High School, Waterford and Eastern advanced to their respective ﬁnals with decisive wins. WHS defeated Fairﬁeld by a 48-17 count, while the Lady Eagles stormed past Glenwood by a 67-45 clip. In last Thursday’s district ﬁnal, Eastern needed a pair of overtime periods to knock off top-seeded Portsmouth Notre Dame by a 58-53 margin. Later that night on the same court, Waterford slipped past South Webster by a 41-40 count in one overtime session. The Lady Jeeps had won back-to-back district titles prior to this winter, eliminating the Lady Eagles in both 2015 and 2016. Experience is on the side of Waterford, which has eight players with state experience on its roster. In addition, 11th-year WHS head coach Jerry Close is entering his 10th regional tournament as leader of the Lady Cats. Eastern has just one player with regional experience in senior Laura Pullins, who was a freshmen during the Lady Eagles state championship season. Whichever team comes out on top on Thursday in Jackson, will advance to the regional ﬁnal, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at Pickerington High School North. Waiting on the victor will be the winner of Thursday’s regional semiﬁnal at PHSN, between Danville (18-6) and Fairﬁeld Christian (24-1). “That other side of the bracket, Fairﬁeld Christian and Danville both put up quite a few points,” Coach Parker said. “That tells me that either they’re tremendous offensively, or in my opinion, they’re probably tremendous defensively, getting run outs and steals, creating a lot of havoc on the defensive end.” The Lady Knights of Fairﬁeld Christian ﬁnished third in the ﬁnal Division IV AP poll and were regional ﬁnalists last season. Fairﬁeld Christian won the 2017 district title by a 56-18 count over the ﬁfth-seeded Wellington School. Fairﬁeld Christian is outscoring opponents by 55 points per game this postseason. Danville won its district title over Granville Christian by a 49-31 count. The Blue Devils have surpassed 90 points twice this postseason and have an average margin of victory of 52.25 points per game.

Purdue’s Swanigan, Gophers’ Pitino AP Big Ten top honorees CHICAGO (AP) — Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan is The Associated Press player of the year in the Big Ten Conference and Minnesota’s Richard Pitino is its coach of the year. Swanigan was a unanimous pick for both player of the year and the AP all-Big Ten team, also announced Tuesday, in voting by 13 journalists covering the conference. Michigan State freshman Miles Bridges was the choice of all voters for newcomer of the year. Joining Swanigan on the all-conference ﬁrst team are Minnesota’s Nate Mason, Maryland’s Melo Trimble, Iowa’s Peter Jok and Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ. Jok and Trimble were second-team picks in 2016. Swanigan is second in the conference in Duncan scoring (18.7 points per game) and ﬁrst in rebounding (12.6 per game), and he leads the country with 25 double-doubles . The 6-foot-9, 250-pound sophomore forward posted four 20-20 games for the Boilermakers, who won their ﬁrst outright Big Ten regular-season championship since 1996. Bridges, one of the nation’s most celebrated recruits last year, overcame an ankle injury early in the season to lead the Spartans with 16.6 points and 8.3 points per game. Bridges is joined on the second team by Michigan’s Derrick Walton Jr., Northwestern’s Bryant McIntosh, Illinois’ Malcolm Hill and Minnesota’s Jordan Murphy. Hill also was on the second team last year. lower than fourth in the Big Ten.

Going into spring practice last year, just six starters were returning from a talented team whose best players were lured into the draft, including the top three receivers, three defensive backs and star running back. But coach Urban Meyer’s young team coalesced and made a run all the way to the semiﬁnals of the College Football Playoff, where the Buckeyes were routed by Clemson. They ﬁnished 11-2. Meyer walked onto the indoor practice ﬁeld at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday with far fewer questions about where all the pieces are going to ﬁt. He has in camp 18 players who either started or saw signiﬁcant playing time last season, and 10 early enrollees from one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. “This is as strong a group of leaders as we’ve had, and there’s a bundle of them,” Meyer said. “We’re very strong at the top, we’re very strong at the bottom (with new recruits),” he said. “Now we got to squeeze it to make sure everybody is productive and everybody provides value. You do that, you’ll have a very ﬁne team. If you don’t, you won’t.” Here’s a look: Jay LaPrete | AP Ohio State quarterbacks J.T. Barrett, left, and Joe Burrow drop back to pass during spring NCAA college football practice Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio. No. 2 QB right now, despite Dwayne Haskins and true freshman phenom Tate Martell waiting in the wings. Mike Weber, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards last year as a freshman, returns at tailback. Guard Billy Price will slide over from guard to center to ﬁll the All-American shoes of Pat Elfelin. Starters Michael Jordan, Jamarco Jones and Isaiah Prince also return to an offensive line that struggled at times last season and put the passing game in the muck. Malcolm Pridgeon returns from an injury, returnees Demetrius Knox and Mathew Burrell will compete for the other guard spot, and 5-star recruits Josh Myers and Wyatt Davis could help provide some depth. “There’s a lot of competition for that spot,” Meyer said.

Eric loves Barrett, who will be Glover-Williams has made the move from safety given much leeway. Joe Burrow is the clear to wide receiver and will compete there, too. Demario McCall, who was in the running-back stable, could slide into the H-back slot. DEFENSE The biggest holes were left by All-American safety Malik Hooker and cornerbacks Gareon Conley and Marshon Lattimore. Returning are cornerbacks Damon Arnette and Denzel Ward and safeties Damon Webb and Erick Smith. Ohio State also expects incoming 5-star freshmen Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade, as well as junior college transfer Kendall Shefﬁeld, to compete for spots in that rotation. The linebacker corps lost star and team captain Raekwon McMillan but should be in good shape. Chris Worley takes over the middle, and Dante Booker, who was injured early last year, and Jerome Baker will ﬂank him. “Worley’s got the mentality, now we’ve just got to ﬁnd out if his body can hang in there at the (middle) linebacker spot, because he’s got it all,” Meyer said. The Buckeyes’ D-line is an embarrassment of riches. Big Ten Defensive Line- man of the Year Tyquan Lewis decided to come back, as did defensive end Sam Hubbard. Nick Bosa and Jalyn Holmes also are in the rotation at end. Dre’Mont Jones, Tracy Sprinkle, Michael Hill and Robert Landers are among the experienced interior linemen returning. COACHES Former Indiana coach Kevin Wilson takes over as offensive coordinator/ tight ends coach, replacing Ed Warinner, who left amid a coaching shakeup following struggles in the passing game and the poor offensive performance against Clemson. Quarterbacks coach Tim Beck also is gone, replaced by Ryan Day. “The term we use around here is we’re not changing, we’re enhancing what we do. If it was broken we’d have to change it,” Meyer said. “This year there are things we have to work on and (Wilson is) the perfect guy, him and Ryan Day and our offensive staff, to get them ﬁxed,” he said. Also, Bill Davis is the new linebackers coach, replacing Luke Fickell, who took the head coaching job at Cincinnati. Teams mull if backup QBs have what it takes SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck is one of the poster boys for success when it comes to backup quarterbacks changing teams and becoming effective starters in the NFL. After throwing just 29 passes in his ﬁrst three seasons as Brett Favre’s backup in Green Bay, Hasselbeck spent most of the next 10 years as the starter in Seattle where he made six trips to the playoffs, one Super Bowl and three Pro Bowls. For every successful example like Hasselbeck or Mark Brunell, there are probably even more busts such as Brock Osweiler, Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn. With backups quarterbacks such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Mike Glennon, A.J. McCarron and Colt McCoy possibly on the move this offseason, the task for talent evaluators will be ﬁguring out which group best ﬁts each quarterback. “One of the things that helped me immensely was the fact that I was Brett Favre’s backup for three years,” Hasselbeck said. “I really became a better player by playing with him every single day. It’s like playing golf with Jordan Spieth every day. You’re just going to get better by osmosis.” That was a similar pattern that Brunell followed. After two years as Favre’s backup, Brunell was traded to Jacksonville where he made three Pro Bowls and four playoff appearances in eight seasons as starter for the Jaguars. Hasselbeck believes Garoppolo is in that same mold if a quarterbackneedy team tries to trade for him this offseason, even though he has started just two games in his ﬁrst three seasons as Tom Brady’s backup in New England. Garoppolo has completed 67 percent of his passes with ﬁve touchdowns and no interceptions in his limited playing time, with just 94 career attempts, He could cost a team a hefty package, possibly including a ﬁrst-round pick. “If I’m trying to get over the hump and ﬁnd a guy who’s going to be the leader of my offensive huddle, you really can’t go wrong with how Tom Brady does things. That’s what Garoppolo thinks is normal,” Hasselbeck said. “When I see him play, he almost looks like Tom Brady with his mannerisms. At the end of the day, you have to evaluate how did this guy take advantage of his opportunity or not take advantage of his opportunities? He certainly has.” But that has been no guarantee of success, as evidenced by the lack of strong resumes for Matt Cassel, Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer after stints as Brady’s backup. It’s not just New England passers who haven’t been able to make the transition from second string to star. Osweiler spent four years as Peyton Manning’s backup in Denver and helped the Broncos earn the top seed in the AFC in 2015 on the way to a Super Bowl title when he got the chance to start. That led to Houston giving Osweiler $37 million in guaranteed money last offseason, only to have him lose the starting job late in the schedule to Tom Savage. The Texans are on the hook for one more year of guaranteed money for Osweiler, but could be in the market for another starter or go with Savage next season despite the lucrative investment. Osweiler is far from the only quarterback who was a big acquisition for a team after serving behind a star. Flynn was one of the top quarterbacks to change teams in 2012 when he got a $26 million, three-year contract with Seattle based heavily on a six-touchdown performance in the 2011 ﬁnale for Green Bay. Flynn was beaten out for the starting job by rookie Russell Wilson in 2012, was traded the next offseason to Oakland, where he was beaten out once again for the starting job by Terrelle Pryor, who has gone on to have more success as a pass catcher than a thrower. After starting seven games in four seasons as backup in Philadelphia to Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick, Kolb was dealt to Arizona for starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick. He got a $63 million contract, started 14 games in his ﬁrst two years with the Cardinals before being released. “The less tape, the harder it is,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “So, you have to go off what you have. If there’s not a lot of tape in pros, you study everything in preseason, you study everything they’ve done in college, you study everything that’s available.” Hasselbeck believes his success on a new team was aided by a level of familiarity with Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, who was the coach in Green Bay when Hasselbeck originally signed with the team in 1998. While Hasselbeck joked that Holmgren might not have even known his name during their season together with the Packers, the ability to run a familiar offense and the trust Holmgren had in coaches and scouts still in Green Bay made for an easier transition. It also helped that no one viewed him as the potential savior in Seattle like people would if Garoppolo changed teams. “Mike thought I had potential to be that guy, but there was no one else who thought that,” Hasselbeck said. “They were like, ‘Who is this guy?’ I didn’t get the recognition that Jimmy Garoppolo has. There would be a lot of fanfare if a team acquired Jimmy Garoppolo.” �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 10 Thursday, March 9, 2017 Daily Sentinel Jayhawks favored at Big 12 tourney KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas coasted its 13th straight regular-season Big 12 championship in what has become a rite of spring, running roughshod over what is touted as one of the toughest leagues in the country. Things haven’t always been so easy in the conference tournament. The Jayhawks ended the two-year reign of Iowa State last year, but that was just their second Big 12 Tournament title in ﬁve years. Twice they haven’t even made the title game. And for all its talent, coach Bill Self’s group hasn’t won consecutive tournaments since 2010-11. Part of that is the strength of the league. Part of that is the crapshoot of tournament play. “I think the culmination of games down the stretch should give our team some conﬁdence heading into the Big 12 Tourna- $$$$$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with Pomeroy Daily Sentinel??

Kansas State (19-12) is the team desperately in need of a win, especially since it would be a high-proﬁle win against the Bears. “I’m going to leave it up to the committee,” Kansas State senior Wes Iwundu said, “but you know, we’re a good conversation piece. We’ll be an even better conversation if we do something in the Big 12.” COACH WATCH Speaking of the Wildcats, they could be playing for coach Bruce Weber’s job after missing out on the NCAA Tournament the last two years. Weber guided Kansas State to the Big 12 title game in 2014, his ﬁrst season in charge, but has lost three of its last four tournament games. “Our back is up against the wall,” Kansas State’s D.J. Johnson said. “We’re always that way.” OTHER FAVORITES West Virginia routed the Jayhawks at home and nearly won at Allen Fieldhouse, and its frenetic style can cause nightmares. But the Mountaineers are just 2-4 in the Big 12 tourney since they joined the conference in 2012, and their road to the title could include a date with Baylor. The Bears were ranked No. 1 earlier this season and have the ability to make a deep run. Scott Drew has never won the title, but his Bears have lost in the title game twice in the past ﬁve years. “Theoretically, in most leagues (the 2 seed) is an easier route to the championship,” Huggins said of the stout ﬁeld, “but in this league I don’t think it really matters.” Notices For Sale By Owner Houses For Rent LEGALS NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

The champions remain incomplete. Just an hour or so after saying how excited he was to be joining one of the league’s deepest teams, Bogut broke his left leg after playing just 58 seconds in his Cleveland debut on Monday night, an injury that could force the Cavs to resume their search for a big man. Bogut had just been welcomed with a roaring ovation by Cleveland’s crowd when his shin banged into the knee of Miami’s Okaro White in the ﬁrst minute of the second quarter. Bogut immediately knew his leg was broken, and LeBron James said he heard Bogut’s bone crack on the collision. As Bogut was helped from the ﬂoor, Cavs general manager David Grifﬁn could barely watch as his latest acquisition hobbled into the locker room. “It happened so quick,” said All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who knows about the suddenness of injuries after breaking his kneecap in the NBA Finals two years ago. “Adversity, it can come in waves. It can come just at the moment and that’s what happened with Bogut.” Bogut’s injury came at the end of a day when the Cavs appeared closer to whole than they’ve been in months. At the team’s morning shootaround, All-Star forward Kevin Love did agility and shooting drills and appeared to be closer to a return than the projected sixweek timeframe the Cavs announced when he underwent knee surgery on Valentine’s Day. And then there was J.R. Smith playing in a vigorous 3-on-3 game before the Cavs’ 106-98 loss to the Heat. Smith, who has been out since Dec. 20 after badly breaking his thumb and undergoing surgery, may be just a few days from making his return. Bogut’s signing, which came just days after the team locked up free agent and threetime All-Star guard Deron Willliams for the remainder of the season, was supposed to be the last move the Cavs needed to make before the playoffs. Cleveland has needed a rim-protecting big man all season, and the massive Bogut was projected to give the Cavs more than that. The 32-year-old is a gifted passer with postseason savvy and was motivated to get back to the Finals for a possible shot at the Golden State Warriors, the team he won a ring with in 2015 but discarded him last summer to make room for Kevin Durant. It’s premature to say how long Bogut will be out, and the initial diagnosis of a fractured tibia doesn’t provide any timeframe because it’s not known if he shattered the bone or chipped it. In any event, Bogut will be sidelined indeﬁnitely, which could send Grifﬁn shopping for the postseason. The Cavs need a backup for Tristan Thompson and big body to contend with some of the centers they could face in May and June. Bogut, who missed the last two games of the 2016 Finals with a knee injury, said he chose Cleveland over Boston, the Cavs’ nearest competitor in the Eastern Conference, because “it’s the best opportunity to try to win a championship playing with one of the best if not the best players to play the game.” The allure of playing with James is also what brought Williams to the Cavs. After getting a buyout from Dallas, he told Cleveland he was coming to chase a championship. With one eye on a third meeting with the Warriors in June, Grifﬁn has expertly re-inforced his roster, adding Bogut, Deron Williams, Derrick Williams and Kyle Korver since Jan. 1. There aren’t many quality big men on the market, but the club has interviewed and worked out Larry Sanders and there’s always a chance the Cavs would consider re-signing Anderson Varejao. Despite the second loss to Miami in three days and Bogut’s unfortunate injury, Irving is assured the Cavs have enough to win it all again. “David Grifﬁn has done an unbelievable job and the pieces that we do have, I mean, this is probably the best group that I’ve played on since I’ve been here,” Irving said. “And that’s hands down. And talent all around. So I’m deﬁnitely still conﬁdent about it and I always will be.” Judge: Federal lawsuit against Baylor University can proceed HOUSTON (AP) — A lawsuit ﬁled against Baylor University by 10 women alleging they were sexually assaulted while students can proceed, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. The women, identiﬁed as “Jane Doe” plaintiffs, allege Baylor was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didn’t enforce federal general discrimination protections. Baylor had sought to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing the former students’ allegations were insufﬁcient to state a claim of liability and the women had failed to plausibly allege they were subjected to “further” harassment after reporting their initial sexual assaults. The university faces several federal lawsuits from women who say Baylor mishandled, ignored or suppressed their claims of assault for years, including several cases involving football players. The school also faces a federal civil rights investigation. But in an order issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin rejected Baylor’s arguments to completely dismiss the lawsuit. Pitman wrote that the women had ﬁled their claims alleging that Baylor created a heightened risk of sexual harassment or assault by permitting a “campus condition rife with sexual assault” and by discouraging or mishandling reports of sexual assault within the two-year statute of limitations to do so. While some of the alleged sexual assaults date back to 2004, their claims for heightened-risk liability didn’t 2017 become a legal claim until spring 2016. “The Court ﬁnds that each Plaintiff in the instant case has plausibly alleged that Baylor was deliberately indifferent to her report(s) of sexual assault, depriving her of educational opportunities to which she was entitled,” Pitman wrote in his 27-page order. Pitman did dismiss claims for four of the women, saying the statute of limitations had run out for them to sue over Baylor’s actions toward them after their alleged assaults. Pitman also dismissed claims all of the women had made under Texas law for negligence and breach of contract. Baylor spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said the university was encouraged by the ruling and the judge’s dismissal of some of the claims. “Baylor intends to continue to defend itself against those allegations that have not yet been dismissed,” Lewis said in a statement. “As we have stressed throughout, our hearts go out to all victims of sexual assault at Baylor. We deeply regret the pain they experienced and continue to pray for their healing.” Chad Dunn, one of the attorneys for the women, said he was also pleased by Pitman’s order. “The judge’s ruling is an excellent development for our ten clients, for other victims of sexual assault at Baylor and for university sexual assault victims in general. It’s important now that we can move forward … and ﬁnally determine what happened at Baylor to cause such a dramatic amount of sexual assaults,” he said. Dunn said it’s too early to know when the lawsuit might go to trial. Baylor ﬁred football coach Art Briles in May 2016 and demoted then-university President Ken Starr, who later resigned, after an outside law ﬁrm determined the school had mishandled cases for years. Last week, Briles released a one-page letter defending himself and insisting he didn’t cover up sexual violence by his players or try to obstruct any investigations. Baylor ofﬁcials last month revealed select text messages between Briles, assistant coaches and staff members that appear to show them trying to shield players from police and university discipline.
