As my former student, Holly Wonneberger, suggests, perhaps the most damaging “unpatriotic” action is “prioritizing the concept Patriotism is about a of ‘country’ over the desire for progress, people who live in it.” not a yearning for Patriots occupy repetition. It’s about many categories. As wanting to be better, a waist-gunner and not just longing for radio-man on a B-24 an idea of what we Liberator bomber during World War think we once were. II, my father was certainly a patriot. As my friend Ray L’Heurex put it, he was one of those who “wrote a check to the U.S. government, payable up to and including one’s life.” Although my dad didn’t pay the highest price, he talked about the boys who did until, at age 84, his nightmares finally stopped. I carry his dog tags with me everywhere. But my father refused to put an American flag sticker on his car even when everybody was doing it. “I know I’m an American,” he’d say, “I don’t have to prove it to anybody else.” I feel the same way about the flag pins: I understand why people wear them, but since I’m recognizable from 300 feet away as not only an American but as from Brooklyn, I don’t feel the need to announce my nationality. I embody it. My friend Pamela Santerre makes an important distinction between patriotism and nationalism: “For me, patriotism and nationalism are two separate things. Nationalism is like saying that every member of your family is the best and that any suggestions to the contrary warrant immediate ire. Patriotism is like the love that most of us have for our families. Even though we know they aren’t perfect and could stand to work on a few things for their — and our — benefit, we are loyal to them. But we will continue to push them to grow and better themselves, not because we are ashamed of them, but because we respect and are proud of them.” Patriotism is about a desire for progress, not a yearning for repetition. It’s about wanting to be better, not just longing for an idea of what we think we once were. While it should be rooted in a knowledge of history, patriotism is more than a sentimental reverence for an idealized and nostalgic vision of what most people never possessed. There’s a fine line between the encouraging and uplifting parts of love of country and the territorial and threatening parts. That fine line can turn into a firing line — but it doesn’t have to. We need to guard against the worst, most adulterated and shabby versions of nationalism — of what Mark Twain once defined as patriotism “shop-worn product procured second hand.” If we defend, without knowing why, a set of inherited and unexamined platitudes designed to prey on our most base tribal and easily inflamed emotions, we are betraying the principles upon which our country was founded. Twain said a person calling himself a patriot who cannot explain “just how or when or where he got his opinions” is not doing the brave thing, but “the safe thing, the comfortable thing.” Twain had contempt for those who get their patriotic ideas at “the public trough” and have “no hand in their preparation.” Twain suggests it would be more beneficial for us to develop a “public conscience.” In other words, we shouldn’t chant “it’s my country, right or wrong” but instead announce “it’s my country and with both pride and fearlessness, I am working every day to make it better, more honest and more just.” And then we should turn up Springsteen.

I should have publicly thanked them a long time ago, as some of them have already passed on: To Coach Charles Chancey, Coach Jon Bentley, Coach Fenton Taylor, Coach Mike Barr and Coach Don Dixon, thank you for teaching a young man the fundamentals of football and the importance of good sportsmanship; to honor and respect your opponents, and to give your very best on the football ﬁeld for your teammates and school. The things you taught me as a young man stayed with me through college and 28plus years as an ofﬁcer in the US Air Force. You taught me to be a good sportsman and citizen. To Hank Cleland, Robert Arms, Tom Reed, Pat Woods, Frank Casto, Don Thomas and Ray Laudermilt of Pomeroy Boy Scout Troop #249, thank you for teaching a young man good citizenship skills; how to survive in the wilderness; a love of community and country; to try and do the right thing, to be prepared and to help other people at all times. I will always be grateful to you for helping me grow up to become a good citizen as well. John M. Morris, Col (ret), Agriculture. Said allotUS Air Force ments will stipulate how Menifee, California A reader and the ‘ROAR bill’ Dear Editor, The Rural Ohio Agricultural Revitalization Bill. (We call it the ROAR bill). The purpose of this piece of legislation is to ensure that Rural Ohioans beneﬁt ﬁnancially from the impending legalization of industrial hemp and marijuana. Industrial hemp cultivation, processing, possession, use and sale shall be legalized in the State of Ohio. Said cultivation will be subject to the same guidelines and rules for other ﬁeld crops and be regulated by the state Department of Agriculture. Hemp cultivation for non-commercial purposes shall not be restricted in any way. Private citizens regardless of where they reside in the State of Ohio may possess up to six marijuana plants at any one time. Said plants and the marijuana produced from them are intended for personal consumption. They do not have the right to sell marijuana. Unlicensed sale of marijuana will be subject to minor misdemeanor charge. Rural land owners may apply for an allotment to cultivate marijuana on a commercial basis through the Ohio Department of many square feet may be dedicated to the commercial cultivation of marijuana. The recipient of the allotment will be required to cultivate an equal area of vegetables, mushrooms or ﬁsh for either personal consumption or retail/ wholesale purposes. Cultivation may take place indoors, in a greenhouse or hoop house, outdoors or any combination of those approaches. Hydroponics or aquaponics may be used in the cultivation of the allotted square footage of marijuana but the same technology must be used for the cultivation of the required square footage of vegetables. The size of the allotment will be based on the Applicant’s previous year’s tax return. The less money you made last year, the larger the allotment. No allotments will be awarded to corporations or individuals earning an adjusted annual gross income in excess of $100,000.00. There will be no cost to the applicant for applying or receiving an allotment. The marijuana produced under this system must be sold at auctions run by the State Department of Agriculture. Said auctions will be conducted in lots not to exceed 10 pounds. Auctions will be conducted in each county where allotments are issued. The marijuana may be sold directly to licensed retailers or cor- porations for processing, packaging, distribution and sale. Licenses for the retail sale of marijuana will be administered by the Ohio Department of Commerce. Said licenses will not exceed $100 in total cost to include any fees associated with the application. An excise tax of 10% will be levied on the auction sale of marijuana. The Counties in which the sales take place will receive 25 % of this tax. 50 % of the tax will go into a fund to support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) education in public High Schools and students pursuing STEAM studies at State Colleges and Universities. The remaining 25 % will go into the State General Fund. Normal sales taxes will also apply. No additional taxes shall be levied on the retail sale of marijuana. No local licenses will be required in addition to the State License. Municipalities shall have the right to opt out of the issuance of licenses within their borders by a majority vote of the residents of said municipality. Please contact me with your comments on this proposal. Remember: politicians are supposed to work for us, not corporations. You have the right to expect them to act in your best interest. Bill Hayes Athens County, Ohio THEIR VIEW Easy to hate, condemn when we refuse to listen A friend of mine came to visit last weekend. Geography, work and family life mean we no longer have much time to talk, but fortunately, the cliche that we can “pick up right where we left off” aptly applies to our decade-long friendship.

Keselowski, who also won last week’s race at Atlanta, made up ground in the ﬁnal two turns and posted a top seed of 193.68 mph in his No. 2 Ford for his 13th career pole. He won at the 1.5mile track last year and in 2014. “We found some things we really liked here about three or four years ago and we’ve been able to kind of roll with that,” Keselowski said. Martin Truex Jr., who was the fastest in the midday practice, will join him on the front row Sunday in the 400-mile race thanks to a speed of 193.458 mph in his No. 78 Toyota. “We were really strong in practice and thought it would pick up quite a bit of speed tonight and it really didn’t,” Truex said. “So that threw us for a little bit of a curve and kind of hurt our setup. But it was a good recovery. We made a lot of changes throughout qualifying and got better at the end.” Ryan Blaney will start third in his Ford, and Matt Kenseth qualiﬁed fourth on his 45th birthday.

GA senior will place at state wrestling meet By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — With time rapidly running down, and everybody’s blood pressure going up, Kaleb Crisenbery knew he had to do something. What he did was dominate the ﬁnal 50 seconds of his championship preliminary match —as part of the annual state wrestling tournament on Thursday. As a result, Crisenbery captured a victory in his opening match — in his ﬁrst and ﬁnal state meet — by blanking Rickey Maffett of Ashland 4-0 in the Division II 145pound weight class. Crisenbery claimed all four of his points in the contest’s ﬁnal 50 seconds, and advanced to Friday’s championship quarterﬁnals — right back inside Value City Arena in Columbus. With the win, the senior Crisenbery becomes the seventh Blue Devil in the past eight state tournaments to earn at least one team point — and win at least one match. Gallia Academy senior Kaleb Crisenbery, second from left, is joined by Gallia Academy coaches Todd May (left) and Brandon Taylor and Gallia Academy Athletic Director Adam Clark (right) atop The Schottenstein Center as part of Thursday’s annual state wrestling meet. By simply qualifying for this weekend’s state tournament, he became the 12th all-time Blue Devil to advance to the coveted competition. However, the goal of Gallia Academy wrestling is not only qualifying for the state meet, but also becoming a prestigious state placer. On Friday, Crisenbery did just that —by capturing his initial consolation match to make it to the Elite Eight of 145. He pinned Lane Householder of Sheridan a minute-and-a-half into the match — with exactly 30 seconds remaining in the second period. That was after he led Householder 2-0 following the ﬁrst two minutes. In taking that ﬁrst step inside the Schottenstein Center on Thursday, Crisenbery took advantage of two stalling calls on Maffett —followed by an execution error on the Ashland senior. After a pair of scoreless opening periods, he landed two points at the 50-second mark — then tacked on the ﬁnal two inside of 10 seconds to go. “It feels great, and it’s an amazing feeling to be here. Unlike any other, really,” said Crisenbery, following Thursday’s triumph. “I knew I had to do something to run the time down a little bit, then I realized there was about a minute left. I knew I had to get out (of Maffett hold), and once I got out, he got called for stalling because he wouldn’t return. Right after that, he let me up for one. Then he took a bad shot, and I went and reversed him and got the two.” Neither man got the other off his feet in the ﬁrst period, as Crisenbery rode Maffett for the entire second period, but didn’t score any points. “We both couldn’t get a takedown in the ﬁrst period. He was good on defense and so I was I. He was probably one of the better ones I’ve faced this year. In the second period, I had to just ride See CRISENBERY | 2B Eastern falls to Lady Cats, 50-33 By Bryan Walters WHS has now won 11 consecutive postseason contests overall and also beat Eastern at Jackson for the ﬁrst time since JACKSON, Ohio — There wasn’t much charm to this third claiming a 44-39 decision in the 2006 district championship. time.

Point Pleasant came away with more than half of the total selections on the inaugural Ohio Valley Publishing wrestling team, as voted on by the three full-time sports reporters from the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and The Daily Sentinel. This ﬁrst-ever tri-county area all-star team was chosen under the pretense of selecting the top wrestler from Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties in each of the 14 weight classes. A Coach of the Year and a Most Outstanding Wrestler were also chosen as part of the local postseason honors. The Big Blacks — who sent 11 grapplers to state and ﬁnished tied for fourth as a team during their return to the Class AA-A ranks this past season — led the local programs with eight choices. PPHS also came away with both of the top individual honors. Gallia Academy was next with three selections and River Valley had two representatives, while both Wahama and Meigs landed one honoree each. Eighth-year Point Pleasant mentor John Bonecutter was a unanimous choice for Coach of the Year honors after leading the Red and Black to its ﬁrst Class AA-A Region 4 team title since the 2012 campaign — Point’s last previous year at the double-A level before last winter. Senior Grant Safford not only captured the selection at 182 pounds, but the threetime Region 4 champion and three-time state ﬁnalist was also unanimously chosen as the tri-county’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. Safford — a four-year state qualiﬁer and 2016 Class AAA state champion at 182 pounds — ﬁnished his senior campaign with a 44-3 overall record and placed second at state at 182 pounds. Safford was also the 195-pound triple-A runner-up as NASCAR Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Grant Safford, right, checks the scoreboard as head coach John Bonecutter, left, gives some instruction during the 182-pound Class AA-A championship match at the 2017 WVSSAC wrestling championships held Saturday, Feb. 29, in Huntington, W.Va. a sophomore. Safford — who posted a career record of 169-25 at PPHS — was also named the 2016 OVP Super 25 Defensive Player of the Year in football this past spring. Safford has committed to play football at West Virginia Wesleyan. Joining Safford on the OVP wrestling squad from Point Pleasant are Justin Cornell (106), George Smith (113), Logan Southall (126), Austin Wamsley (152), Andrew Roach (195) and Brian Gillispie (285). Wamsley was a Region 4 champion and went 38-4 at 152 pounds as a senior, which also led to his third career state appearance. Roach — also a senior — went 39-12 at 195 pounds and ended up third at state in his only career appearance, while Gillispie went 32-13 as a junior and made his second state appearance as a heavy- opportunity to win that ﬁrst stage and collect those points both for From page 1B the season and for the playoffs,” Keselowski said.

Crisenbery, by stating that he was ranked behind Maffett, said “it was more of an upset”. Maybe by ranking, but the Blue Devil standout sure looked like he knew what he was doing. “What I saw was a very mature Kaleb Crisenbery. He did everything he needed to,” said Gallia Academy assistant coach Brandon Taylor. “His match awareness…just the fact that they go scoreless in the ﬁrst period. Both good kids on their feet and good defense. But for Kaleb to know, and Maffett chose ‘down’ in the second period, that time and riding him out hard on top, it was dominant. Kaleb kept a tight waist on, put pressure on with his wrist. After that second period, Kaleb was at the advantage. And the Ashland kid already had one stall warning at that point.” Taylor added that Crisenbery choose ‘down’ in the third period, but “took his time, ﬁghting hands, keeping his hips back and not giving up bad positions.” Crisenbery claimed the ﬁrst point by getting to his feet and weight. Smith — the 2016 Class AAA champion at 106 pounds — compiled a 43-8 mark as a sophomore while ﬁnishing as the state runner-up at 113 pounds. Cornell amassed a 39-9 overall record during his freshman campaign at 106 pounds, which included a Region 4 championship and his ﬁrst state appearance. The same was true for Southall, who ﬁnished 31-18 at 126 pounds. Seniors Jared Stevens (120), Kaleb Crisenbery (145) and Hunter Jacks (170) represented the Blue Devils, with Jacks — a Lourdes University signee — being the only one of the trio to never qualify for state. All three were also Ohio Valley Conference champions this season. Stevens — who made it to state at 106 pounds as a freshman — put together a 45-5 See WRESTLING | 5B Clint Bowyer (13th) just missed getting into the last round. Defending series champion Jimmie Johnson will start 16th and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. 18th. Kyle Busch was the fastest in the ﬁrst qualifying round and Danica Patrick (28th) was among those outside the top 25 who failed to advance. AJ Allmendinger knocked reaching back into a stand-up, forcing Maffett into a stall after he failed to return. From that point on, and now with a 2-0 advantage, Crisenbery seized complete control. Maffett missed on a single-leg takedown attempt, and Crisenbery reversed him for the 4-0 lead with only 10 seconds to go. “You don’t need to win a match by 12 points to dominate it. Kaleb showed a lot of maturity and wrestled a great match, especially the last minute,” said Taylor. “And we’ve gone over the single-leg shot defense so many times in practice. There are so many scramble opportunities he is going to see at this higher level. It was a great smart match Kaleb wrestled.” Crisenbery qualiﬁed for the state meet as the third-place ﬁnisher at the Division II district meet at Heath. In fact, he decisioned Householder 3-2 in that third-place dual. Maffett, meanwhile — with a record of now 21-12 — was the district runner-up at Mansﬁeld. Crisenbery was attempting to join Jeptha Robinson (1988), Jared Gravely (2010), Brandon Taylor (2012), Zack Tackett (2012) and Cole Tawney (2013 and 2014) as the only podium out his teammate Chris Buescher by posting a faster lap seconds before the 20-minute session ended “I thought AJ and I were better friends than that,” joked Buescher, who will start 25th. With only 39 cars entered, open drivers Corey LaJoie (34th), Derrike Cope (38th) and Timmy Hill (39th) all made the ﬁeld. ﬁnishers in Blue Devil history. “One more win and I place. Pretty excited about that chance,” he said. And, advance to the medals stand Crisenbery did. He defeated Householder following his championship quarterﬁnal match — an 11-0 major decision loss against Kevon Freeman of Mentor Lake Catholic. Freeman, with a record of now 44-3, was the 145-pound Division II district champion at Alliance. He is also a two-time state meet placer, including as last year’s 132 state champion. In the Friday night consolation quarterﬁnals, Crisenbery battled — but lost to Adam Shaw of Carrollton by a 7-5 decision. The loss left him with an even 2-2 state record, part of a season mark of now 53-8. Crisenbery wrestled on Saturday in the seventh-place affair, which was set for 11 a.m. inside Value City Arena. He was scheduled to grapple with Franklin’s Trenton Scott for the ﬁnal match of his GAHS career.

The Lady Eagles never came closer than 11 points the rest of the way as WHS nailed 6-of-9 free throws in the fourth quarter while wrapping up the 17-point outcome — the largest lead of the game. With the win, Waterford advances to Saturday night’s D-4 Region 15 championship game at Pickerington High School North and will face Danville at 7:30 p.m. DHS posted a 42-30 win over Fairﬁeld Christian Academy in the other Region 15 semiﬁnal contest held Thursday night at PHSN. It was a frustrating evening for ﬁrst-year EHS coach Jacob Parker, mainly due to the fact that his troops didn’t come close to putting together their best 32 minutes of basketball. Nonetheless, Parker was still proud of where this year’s journey ended up — even if the ﬁnal planned destination wasn’t reached. “I told the girls after the game that I wish there was a way to measure how proud I am of what they’ve done this year, because I don’t think that measurement exists,” Parker said. “We’ve accomplished some things this year that hasn’t happened since we won state in 2014, rather it be winning 20 games or getting back to regionals. “The thing that is most impressive about this group, however, is how well they handled adversity. Through all of the injuries, the girls always came in ready to practice and gave everything they had. These kids have a lot of character about them, and I am proud of them for what they’ve done this year.” Alli Kern gave Waterford a permanent lead with 5:18 left in the opening canto following a trifecta, but Laura Pullins answered with a basket 16 seconds later to cut the deﬁcit down to 3-2. EHS, however, was never closer the rest of the way. The Lady Cats followed by hitting 3-of-5 shots while making a 9-1 surge over the ﬁnal 3:52 of the period, allowing the hosts to secure a 12-3 cushion after one full canto. WHS hit three of its ﬁrst four shot attempts to start the second, which led to a 6-3 run and an 18-6 cushion at the 5:32 mark of the second period. Waterford’s largest ﬁrst half lead came at 27-12 following an Alli Kern trifecta at the 1:08 mark, but an Elizabeth Collins free throw with 52.2 seconds left allowed EHS to enter the break trailing by 14 points. The Lady Eagles hit 4-of17 shot attempts and committed six turnovers in the opening 16 minutes of play, while the hosts netted 9-of23 ﬂoor attempts and committed four turnovers during that same span. Both teams went 5-of-12 from the ﬁeld in the third canto, with Eastern claiming a small 13-11 scoring edge that allowed the guests to trim the deﬁcit down to 38-26. Becca Pullins also capped a small 5-4 run with a trifecta with 4:24 remaining to close the gap down to 42-31. Waterford, however, ended regulation with an 8-2 charge that locked up the program’s fourth regional ﬁnal appearance since the 2010 campaign. WHS outrebounded the Lady Eagles by a 34-20 overall margin, which included a 13-5 edge on the offensive glass. Waterford also committed 12 of the 19 total turnovers in the contest, with eight of those coming in the second half. Eastern connected on 11-of-43 ﬁeld goal attempts for 26 percent, including a 2-of-11 effort from threepoint territory for 18 percent. The guests were also 9-of-17 at the free throw line for 53 percent. Laura Pullins — who ﬁnishes second on the alltime girls scoring list with 1,299 career points — led Eastern with a game-high 16 points, followed by Elizabeth Collins with a dozen markers and a team-best nine rebounds. Pullins also hauled in six rebounds in the setback. Becca Pullins was next with three points, while Alyson Bailey completed the EHS tally with two points. It was the ﬁnal basketball game for seniors Laura Pullins and Hannah Bailey — who did not play due to injury — in the Green and White. That duo — both of whom were on the 2014 championship squad — put together a combined 84-19 record during their prep careers. Experience clearly favored Waterford headed into the matchup, and that proved to be a major factor in the ﬁnal outcome. But, as Parker noted afterwards, his troops picked up a wealth of experience this year — much like his two seniors did as freshmen. And, in looking back on things, Parker thought that his upperclassmen left quite a mark on the program — and on him — during their tenure. “I think the experience factor played a role tonight, and tip your cap to Waterford because they just played a really solid game. Our youth showed itself a little bit tonight, but this group will grow from it and be more determined going into next season,” Parker said. “The toughest part about this is saying goodbye to Hannah and Laura, the two seniors. As a ﬁrst-year coach, you couldn’t ask for two better leaders or two better kids to have than them. “Those are the last two remaining members of the state title team, but they also played big roles in getting us back to regionals and 20 wins this year. Most kids don’t even get to experience that in a career, so I hope they understand how high they can hold their heads when they look back at their playing days at Eastern.” Waterford connected on 17-of-40 ﬁeld goal attempts for 43 percent, including a 5-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 38 percent. The hosts were also 11-of-17 at the charity stripe for 65 percent. Alli Kern — who was chosen as the Division IV Southeast District player of the year by the Associated Press — paced Waterford with 15 points and nine rebounds, followed by Megan Ball with nine points and eight boards. Rachael Adams was next with seven points, while Hannah Duff, Emily Kern and Hayley Duff each contributed six markers. Morgan Lang rounded out the winning tally with one point. This was the third time in history that these two TVC Hocking rivals met up with one another in the regional semiﬁnals, with this contest serving as Waterford’s lone victory. Eastern claimed regional semiﬁnal wins over WHS in both 2011 and again in 2014. Eastern — which lost three of its four decisions this winter to Waterford, with the other coming in overtime to Oak Hill — went 14-2 and ﬁnished second in the TVC Hocking standings. Waterford can become only the second team in southeast Ohio history to qualify for the state tournament in three straight years with a win Saturday night. Sardinia Eastern Brown previously accomplished the feat during the 2000, 2001 and 2002 postseasons.

That’s because a total of 22 basketball representatives from the Ohio Valley Publishing area — even split evenly between 11 boys and 11 girls reps— have earned all-Southeast District honors from the Associated Press. The annual AP allSoutheast District teams were ofﬁcially released on Wednesday — with ﬁrstyear Eastern girls coach Jacob Parker capturing Coach of the Year accolades for Division IV girls. Parker’s pick as COY headlined four Eagles being honored —the most of any of the dozen squads in the OVP area. Three Lady Eagle players were honored, along with two apiece from Gallia Academy and Meigs in Division II — and one apiece from Southern, South Gallia and River Valley. Of the 10 gals which made the list, seven of them are repeat honorees. On the boys side, both Division II clubs — Gallia Academy and Meigs —mustered three spots, while Southern secured two and River Valley, South Gallia and Eastern one apiece. Of the 11 men, four are repeat selections. Parker, in replacing veteran Eastern mentor John Burdette, guided the Lady Eagles to an 18-3 regularseason record —with losses only to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division champion Waterford and to non-league Division III Oak Hill in overtime. Eastern senior Laura Pullins and Southern senior Faith Teaford tallied Division IV ﬁrst team for the second straight season, as Pullins — standing six-feet tall — also made second team two years ago and Special Mention three years back. This season, she averaged 19 points per game. Teaford, at six-foot oneinches tall, also made the second-team unit in 2015 — before back-to-back ﬁrst-team awards. She was the Lady Tornadoes’ only all-district selection, and averaged 18.1 points per contest. The other Eagles to land all-district honors are Elizabeth Collins and Jess Parker. Collins, a 6-1 junior, averaged 10 points per game in earning second team — while Parker repeated as a Special Mention choice. Collins kept moving up the level ladder — after making Special Mention as a freshman and third team as a sophomore. For Meigs, its two selections from last season repeated to the list this year. Kassidy Betzing, a 5-7 sophomore who averaged 11.3 points per tilt, moved up to the second squad this season from third team a year ago. The Lady Marauders’ Madison Fields repeated to the Special Mention group, as did Gallia Academy’s Adrienne Jenkins. Parker and Fields are both sophomores, while Jenkins completed her senior campaign. The three ﬁrst-time honorees all made third team — Gallia Academy’s Hunter Copley (5-8, sophomore, 10.9 ppg) in Division II, River Valley’s Erin Jackson (5-7, senior, 16.0 ppg) in Division III and South Gallia’s Erin Evans (5-7, junior, 10.6 ppg) in Division IV. For the boys, Eastern River Valley’s Jacob Dovenbarger (32), along with Gallia Academy’s Evan Wiseman (11), Zach Loveday (44) and Justin Peck (35), all earned all-Southeast District boys basketball honors from the Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Associated Press.

And so the tourism bureau is really the ones in charge and they do a fantastic job to advertise Las Vegas in general.” Indeed, money is driving the sports growth in town. The Raiders are in play because the state of Nevada has pledged $750 toward a $1.9 billion domed stadium. Golden Knights owner Bill Foley agreed to pay a $500 million expansion fee. Money draws numerous UFC and boxing ﬁghts to town. And Speedway Motorsports Inc. decided to move its fall Cup and Truck Series dates from New Hampshire and an Xﬁnity race from Kentucky to the desert because the Las Vegas track will receive $2.5 million a year for seven years from the city’s convention and visitors authority. The bureau is funded mostly through hotel taxes. “Las Vegas has always been one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world and it is now emerging as a premiere destination for major league professional sports and marquee sporting events,” said Kerry Bubolz, President of the Golden Knights. “The addition of the second NASCAR race supports that. And as a NASCAR fan, I personally am excited about the news.” While Las Vegas hasn’t been immune to NASCAR’s dwindling attendance, the visitors bureau said 115,000 attended last March’s NASCAR Cup race, with an estimated 96,000 coming from out of town. “The experience is unique to any other in our sport.” NASCAR executive Steve O’Donnell said. So it wasn’t a difﬁcult call for track owner SMI to move the dates. Neither race at New Hampshire this year has a title sponsor and it was tough to draw crowds for a single Xﬁnity race at Kentucky. But a more saturated sports market will also test NASCAR’s second date, which will likely occur during an NFL Sunday and in the September heat of the desert. “I love Vegas. I think it’s a great atmosphere and it would be good,” driver Kevin Harvick said last week at Atlanta. “But sometimes you can turn one great (race) into two mediocres.” Busch believes his hometown and two NASCAR dates are a great ﬁt. “There’s so much to do. Restaurants, entertainment, gambling, this is a huge destination worldwide,” Busch said. “And now they have two NASCAR dates.” Walker’s late shot gives Kent State win over Ohio CLEVELAND (AP) — Jaylin Walker mistakenly thought Kent State was behind. That was his only error in the ﬁnal seconds. Walker dropped an off-balance runner over two defenders with 4.1 seconds left, giving Kent State a 68-66 semiﬁnal win over Ohio on Friday night and setting up a date with rival Akron in the cham- pionship of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. With the score tied 66-all, Walker grabbed the rebound of a missed free throw by Ohio and took off. He drove the length of the ﬂoor before pulling up in the lane and making his tough basket. “We were only down one and my mindset was to go to the hole,” Walker said before being told the game was tied. “Oh, tied?” he said. “My mistake.” Kent State will forgive him. Ohio had a last chance, but guard Jaaron Simmons dribble into trafﬁc and the Bobcats were unable to get off a shot before the clock expired, sending the Golden Flashes into the ﬁnal against their bitter neighbors. Jimmy Hall scored 22 points — 14 in the second half — for the sixth-seeded Golden Flashes (21-13), who will meet the top-seeded Zips (26-7) on Saturday night for the title and the MAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Kent State and Akron split their regular-season matchups See KENT STATE | 6B Real Estate Auction Wrestling From page 2B overall record at 120 pounds during his senior campaign, while Jacks went 42-10 at 170 pounds. Crisenbery — the lone Ohio state qualiﬁer in 2017 — owned a 51-6 record at 145 pounds before the start of the OHSAA tournament this weekend and will ﬁnish the year with more wins than any other member of this list. Junior Jeremiah Dobbins (138) and sophomore Eric Weber (160) represented the Raiders, who ﬁnished second in the ﬁnal TVC standings. RVHS also had six grapplers qualify for districts, the most of any of the Ohio programs. Dobbins was a TVC champion and amassed a 42-10 overall mark at 132 pounds, while Weber was a TVC runner-up and went 37-14 at 160 pounds. Meigs senior Trae Hood was chosen at 220 pounds after consecutive district appearances and a 36-7 record this past winter. Wahama junior Dalton Kearns — a 2015 Class AA-A state qualiﬁer — claimed the 132-pound spot after going 13-4 overall. Kearns did not compete this year in the postseason due to an injury, but the White Falcons still managed to send four grapplers to state. Eastern and South Gallia were the only programs in the tri-county area that did not have a representative on the OVP wrestling team. Wahama junior Ethan Herdman (145) and freshman Trevor Hunt (120), Gallia Academy juniors Caleb Greenlee (106) and Kyle Greenlee (113), River Valley sophomore Jacob Edwards (113) and senior Robert Drummond (285), Meigs junior Nathan Gearheart (145) and Point Pleasant junior Jacob Roub (145) were also in consideration.

And whoever winds up behind center in Cleveland will be well protected. With an eye on making another move at quarterback, Cleveland acquired veteran Brock Osweiler and a 2018 second-round pick on Thursday in a stunning trade with the Houston Texans, who were looking for a partner to help them get rid of the QB’s $16 million guaranteed contract. At ﬁrst, the unusual trade was met with the usual, Browns-beingBrowns skepticism. However, the deal was made simply to give Cleveland more assets to perhaps trade for another QB such as New England backup Jimmy Garoppolo, and it allows the Texans to clear some salary-cap space to make a run at a starter. Cleveland, which also signed veteran wide receiver Kenny Britt to a deal, and Houston are also swapping 2017 fourth- and sixth-round picks.

Stewart said rather than force the kids to sell candy bars, he wanted to do something more substantial and unique that kept the money in the community. In addition to ticket sales, there were advertising opportunities for supporters as well. Back in the days of the old gymnasium, the walls were plastered with advertisements from businesses who supported the event. They were made from newspaper end rolls from Ohio Valley Publishing and went from the “ﬂoors to the rafters” in the old gym, with advertisers paying so much per foot, with Stewart often going door-to-door to help sell them, he recalled. At some point during the show, spotlights shown on the “wallpaper” to reveal the supporters of BKR and patron lists were inside the program. The money raised went to purchase things like uniforms, equipment and ﬁnance memorable band trips. Band trips often dictated the theme each year for the show. If the band was going to Nashville, the show would have a country theme and in fact, that year, had a red barn on stage to imitate the Grand Ole Opry. Several volunteers got very “crafty” and “handy” over the years, building sets and rewiring everything that needed it. One year, Stewart said volunteers built a stage in the middle of the gym for an “in the round” experience. Another year the revue’s theme centered around a showboat, “The Majestic” which at one time was kept in Henderson but traveled up and down the Ohio River. Stewart said he researched the vessel’s history and ended up with a vaudeville type show, complete with Dixieland music. Another year, which had a “Back to the Future” theme, a DeLorean was built that raised to the rafters, thanks to some ingenuity and volunteers. “We would have never been able to afford to pay people for the work they did,” Stewart said of the many hours volunteers, including his wife Linda, gave to the revues over the years. Another interesting fact about the fund raising aspect of BKR was, it afforded kids who may’ve not had the opportunity to travel the chance to do so. Stewart said, everyone in band had a job in the revue. “If you didn’t want to be on stage, you at least had to pull open the curtains and participate,” he explained, adding that money was divided up equally to pay for buses and that travel served as a reward. He also insisted, everyone stay after the Sunday matinee to clean up. In fact, he added the Sunday afternoon show because everyone would leave on Saturday night, never to return…to clean anyway. The fact that the show continues to endure is a testament to not only tradition but the importance of art and music education. “My famous statement is, ‘Do you remember anything about your English class 30 years ago? Or your science class?’ Band kids remember their band experiences and I run into a lot of them,” Stewart said. He estimates there were around 100 kids in his band program in each year of his 33 years as band director, that’s 3,300 kids, many of whom walk up to him and ask, “Do you remember me?” “I say, ‘I don’t remember your name but you played clarinet and you sat on the left in my band See REVUE | 4C �ALONG THE RIVER 2C Sunday, March 12, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Take something, leave something Second ‘Lil’ Free Pantry’ placed in New Haven By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — They are popping up in many towns and cities nationwide with the idea of “take something when in need, leave something when blessed.” They are small boxes ﬁlled with grocery items to ensure community neighbors do not go hungry, and the Town of New Haven, W.Va. recently placed its second one within the municipality. The ﬁrst “Lil’ Free Pantry” was placed in front of the town hall in September 2016 and Recorder Roberta Hysell, who began the project, quickly saw the need for more. Now a second pantry is available in the First Church of God of New Haven parking lot, off of Layne Street. While the town is sponsoring the additional pantry and saw that it was built, the church has taken it on as a proj- ect. Members will keep it monitored and ﬁlled, according to Kenneth Greene, who attends church there. Hysell said the pantry at town hall is used frequently. In fact, ﬁlling it is the ﬁrst thing she does each morning and said it is generally almost empty. Items for that pantry are provided by donations from the townspeople. Hysell said she has seen some of the people who are using the pantry, and knows they walk from the other end of town. That’s when she came up with the plan of a second one. The pantry box was modeled after the ﬁrst, and was built by Paul Hesson. Greene said the church took on the latest pantry to help the town and the community. “We collect food anyway and take it to people,” Greene said. “Now, rather than going out and trying to ﬁnd those in need, they can come Mindy Kearns/Courtesy Town of New Haven employees, from left, Jim Morris, Recorder Roberta Hysell, and Steve Myers are pictured as they help stock a second “Lil’ Free Pantry” located within the municipality. The second pantry was recently placed in the parking lot of the First Church of God of New Haven, after seeing the success of the first one in front of town hall. and get food when they need it.” He said the location of the church makes it “real handy.” The parking lot is located over the hill from the church, which provides more privacy for those taking advantage of the pantry. And, he added, people can just drive right up to the food, get what they need, and drive out the other side. Even though the pantry is somewhat private, those involved said it will be closely monitored to deter vandalism. MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS Anyone wishing to donate food items or money to purchase food can take it to the town hall during regular business hours. Those stocking the pantries ask especially for food that can make a meal, such as spaghetti and sauce, or items that children and teens can ﬁx themselves in the microwave, like canned pastas, beef stew, and easy macaroni and cheese.

ANNIVERSARY FSO and RFE food licenses The Meigs County Health Department issued 90 food licenses last year. This year looks to be about the same. Food Licenses fall into one of two categories, RFE or FSO. An FSO (Food Service Operation) is a business that sells individual portions of food to consumers. Examples of FSO’s include restaurants, schools, institutions such as jails or residential facilities and some food trucks. Typically foods from an FSO are already prepared and ready to eat. An RFE (Retail Food Establishment) is a business that sells bulk foods, or foods that are meant to feed more than one person. Examples of RFE’s include grocery stores, gas stations, dollar stores, pizza places, and food trucks that frequent inspecare selling bulk tions than an RFE items.

These standards cover every aspect of the business from purchasing and cleanliness, to preparation and labeling. The health department accomplishes this goal by conducting the required inspections, educating the owners and employees about the food code and being available to answer questions. We also maintain an enforcement program to deal with those who do not comply in a timely manner. Last year there were 382 inspections performed by the environmental health food safety program.

The technology for truly driverless cars of the future already is here — more than a year ago, a Waymo prototype with no steering wheel or pedals drove a blind man on city streets in Texas. Supporters say the cars may one day be far safer than those with humans at the wheel, since they won’t drive distracted, drunk or drowsy. During the more than two years of road testing in California, selfdriving cars with human backup drivers are believed to have caused just a few collisions. A year ago, Waymo reported that during the 424,331 miles its cars had driven themselves, a driver intervened 11 times to avoid a collision. In an update earlier this year, Waymo said its ﬂeet had driven 636,868 miles in autonomous mode; it did not say how many crashes were avoided. In all, 27 companies have Department of Motor Vehicles permits to test on California roads.

Of course, they came from a band program he is known for helping establish, including the tradition of BKR and though he’s been retired as the PPHS band director for several years now, he has never missed a revue - a revue that continues to evolve with directors and organizers who were once his students. This includes PPHS Band Director Ben Loudin, Loudin’s wife Jessica, Stewart’s stepdaughter Crystal Hendricks (who is also the PPJ/SHS choir director) and her husband Chipper who is the PPJHS Band Director. On the night of his last revue, Stewart said he told the audience, “I hope there will always be a Black Knight Revue.” All these years later, he said: “I’ll be there Saturday night.” Reach Beth Sergent at bsergent@ civitasmedia.com or on Twitter @ BSergentWrites.

When Stewart started at PPHS, there were only 48 members in the high school band and each year after that, the program continued to grow. Staying in one place for 33 years was by design. Stewart said it wasn’t about moving on to “greener pastures” for him and he wanted to establish a program that “followed me and my ways, instead of me trying to ﬁnd a better job.” He stressed it’s important to know, and understand, the area you are teaching in. That philosophy must be working because Stewart still coordinates band camps, this time camps held at URG each year where hundreds of kids, and instructors, come to him. Band camp was also a crucial part of being a member of the Black Knight Band, Stewart said. “If you can get those kids through band camp, then you can travel with MyDailyTribune.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
