There were, luckily, no injuries. According to Ashley Rittenhouse, public information office for Ohio DepartAshley Rittenhouse and Dave Harris photos ment of Transportation An early morning rockslide on Main Street near the Bridge of Honor on Friday caused ODOT District 10, ODOT’s local crews to close the road while working to access, and break down, the large rock for removal. garage manager was made There were no injuries. aware of the slip around 4 a.m., Friday. Rittenhouse said the rock never actually rolled into the road but for safety purposes, and concerns it might slide further, the road in the area near the Marathon station on Main Street was closed. Detours were being set up around the village and as of press time, there was no estimate as to when the road in that area would be reopened. ODOT crews were busy clearing trees and other debris on the hillside so that they could more easily access the large rock. Once crews can get to the rock, which had broken in two, they were to begin the process of breaking it down for removal, literally chipping away at it. Rittenhouse said though no timeline was in place for reopening that section of roadway, crews were working all day and were See ROCKSLIDE | 3A Local grad attending West Point By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia Academy High School 2015 graduate Stephen Blake Wilson chose to visit Gallia students over his recent break from attending the United States Military Academy, commonly referred to as West Point, and share his experiences as a second-year student with the institution. Wilson is considered a cadet corporal. As such, he is responsible for himself and a cadet private, a first-year student. Wilson said he is majoring in environmental engineering. When he graduates he will serve a minimum of five years in the US Army and leave the academy as a 2nd lieutenant after four years in the school. Wilson is in his second year at the institution. Wilson “I always knew the military was for me,” said Wilson. “I always knew I would go an officer road. I forget how I heard of the academy. I think it was mainly because of (other students) who had both gone to the Air Force Academy. They were good friends of my family so I knew what the academies were. I didn’t see myself doing the Air Force though.” Wilson said Congressman Bill Johnson nominated him as a student for the institution. “With the military experience itself and being in harms way, at the same time, commanding and leading other soldiers and men, that leadership quality itself is a big thing that carries weight along with the whole West Point name,” said Wilson. “To show that you have the capability to lead men and women and be successful.” Wilson said that while being in the school was a rewarding experience it was also a humbling and challenging one. His schedule is filled with drills, academic coursing with a military focus, tactics training, marksmanship, dedication to a sports team and more.

Meigs Habitat House now a home A dream months in the making By Jessica Marcum Special to the Times-Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Linda Nease recently took possession of her new home, built by volunteers working through Habitat for Humanity of Southeastern Ohio. The scene could have been lifted straight from “It’s a Wonderful Life,” with the new homeowner standing with family as gifts of flowers, bread, salt, and more were offered in a traditional blessing by those volunteers and sponsors who helped to make Nease’s new home a reality. Ken Oehlers, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Southeast- ern Ohio, spoke briefly, explaining how Habitat for Humanity came to be in Meigs County. Approximately 18 months ago, the organization approached the county commissioners about expanding into the county. Habitat met with a positive reception, and a few phone calls later, it was official: Habitat for Humanity was coming to Meigs County. “We’re always interested in investing in our community. This is one of the worthwhile ventures, to be one of the first ones to sponsor a house in Meigs County,” Mark Porter, owner of Mark Porter Chevrolet Buick GMC, said during the dedication ceremony. “Hopefully for Habitat, and Meigs County, we’ll see more See HABITAT | 3A See WEST POINT | 3A Local woman starts a rock revolution A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Weather: 6A By Mindy Kearns Special to the OVP B SPORTS Sports: 1B-3B, 5B-6B Classifieds: 4B C FEATURES Comics: 3C JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Cobb said the year had been a hard one for her. Heart problems landed her husband in the hospital for nearly a month last year. Then, after returning home from a trip to South Carolina in January, Cobb found a power surge had destroyed all the electronics in her “This has been breathtaking. It has changed the rhythm of the world for me.” — Kathy Ekers Cobb house.

Lewis wrote, “but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” This has always been one of my favorite distillations of conservatism. In principle, I still believe it, passionately. Of course, whenever you read a sentence that begins “In principle,” you should consider it a kind of magical conjuring, a rain dance that calls forth a thunderclapping Jonah Goldberg “but” … But politics doesn’t work this way. Contributing For starters, we don’t walk down columnist this road as individuals, but as a very large group. And when we walk down the wrong road long enough, people in the troupe start to like it. They like the sound of the birds and the shape of the trees. They grow accustomed to the weather and the view. Those who said this was the right road don’t want to admit they chose poorly or forfeit their roles as In America, once leaders. They insist the an entitlement payoff is just around the is created, it’s corner. extremely difficult Meanwhile, they add to get rid of. It turns that road not taken was out that people like a bad one, with perils and horrors we cannot free things. And imagine. All bad things when they can’t get happen on the road stuff for free, they not taken, they say. like to purchase it at Why turn back with way below true cost. such wonderful things ahead? This is the conservative, status-quo bias inherent to progressivism. (If you think there’s nothing conservative about progressives, try telling a prosperous Manhattan leftist that we should get rid of rent control because it hurts the poor.) In America, once an entitlement is created, it’s extremely difficult to get rid of. It turns out that people like free things. And when they can’t get stuff for free, they like to purchase it at way below true cost. The wrong road comes with amazing subsidies. The right road has a daunting tollbooth. In principle, I would like to repeal and replace not just the warp and woof of Obamacare all at once, but considerable portions of the Great Society and the New Deal, too. No, I don’t want the aged to suffer or the poor to languish (and if you think that’s the motivation behind libertarian critiques of the corporatist-welfare state, you have a comic-book understanding of politics). That is what I would like, in principle. But it’s hard. But voters often don’t want it. But entrenched interests will fight for their statecreated fiefdoms with any weapon they can find. But the media will freak out like Roman senators being asked to make room in their chambers for Caligula’s horse. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is in the worst position possible right now. He is a grown-up conservative. He understands both that we must get off the road we are on and that doing so is very, very hard. It’s easy to shout, “We’re going the wrong way!” It’s another thing to convince the caravan to turn around. Some of the critics of his plan to repeal and replace Obamacare have many good arguments on their side. The replacement bill certainly needs fixing. But other critics don’t seem to care much about the legislative or policy details at all. They just want to see Ryan himself repealed and replaced with a more pliant nationalist. Ryan surely would prefer a quick and total repeal of Obamacare. But he has to deal with the reality that Democrats will lay down on railroad tracks before they agree to change a comma in Obamacare, and he must deal with the byzantine rules of reconciliation. He also has to deal with the fact that the president ran and was elected on a promise to leave entitlements untouched and to guarantee health coverage for everybody. Trump won by flipping many Obama voters to the GOP column. Obamacare is popular with this constituency. Trump has officially backed Ryan, but he doesn’t seem bothered by the prospect of Ryan failing, so long as Ryan gets the blame. Hence the bizarre argument on the right: the loudest voices for free-market purity on the health care side, with a president who often says he wants to stay on the road that Obamacare (and the New Deal and the Great Society) put us on. This makes more sense than it seems, because much of the Trumpified activist-right only knows how to denounce “the establishment,” even when it is the establishment. It’s almost like some people would prefer to stay the course but be able to complain about it at the same time, like backseat drivers on the wrong road.

THEIR VIEW ‘A world-class host’ Robert Osborne’s passing from this mortal coil on March 6, 2017, at 84 leaves a void in the world of film appreciation that will be filled, but perhaps without the wealth of first-hand experience, knowledge and savvy that the onetime actor and columnist brought to his role as the lead host of Turner Classic Movies. But in the more than two decades in which he performed that role with a courtly and engaging manner, he set a standard for class and backstory about the films he introduced that the cable channel must continue to pursue as co-hosts Ben Mankiewicz and Tiffany Vazquez presumably step up to take his place. Not that I was always in love with Bob Osborne’s approach and TCM’s selection of films, but to each his own. I know he was enamored of the movies that defined Hollywood’s Golden Age, especially musicals produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. But there were times I wondered if he had a certain disdain for some genres and really hadn’t seen some of the flicks he discussed, instead relying on the introductory notes prepared for the broadcast. Case in point: the classic British science fiction entry “The Quatermass Xperiment” (1955, U.S. title: “The Creeping Unknown”), in which he continually mispronounced the name 1937’s “They Gave of the film’s hero, Him a Gun,” starportrayed by Brian ring Spencer Tracy, Donlevy, as “QuarFranchot Tone and ter-mass” instead Gladys George. of “Quay-ter-mass.” As I saw the film, Just ask my poor it struck me that it wife about how had probably been that drove me up Kevin decades since this the wall.

Like TCM with M-G-M and Warner Bros. product, AMC once focused on films from Twentieth Century-Fox, RKO and British studios, but has since transformed itself into a venue for action blockbusters, reruns of “The Rifleman” and original dramatic programming. Fox Movie Channel was also a welcome addition in 1994, focusing on great movies from that studio, but severely needs to have its selection freshened with other items from the vaults. It has been left to TCM to carry the banner for films of all stripes and preserve the history surrounding them, as the channel did with such mammoth documentary series of recent vintage as “Moguls and Movie Stars” and “The Story of Film.” This is all due to the enthusiasm that people like Bob Osborne brought to TCM, and we are the better for it. In a statement to USA Today following his death, TCM General Manager Jennifer Dorian said that Bob Osborne was “a world-class host.” “Robert’s contributions were fundamental in shaping TCM into what it is today,” Dorian added. And no truer words have been uttered. Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years when not watching old movies, resides in Vinton, Ohio.

They are pictured with three of the rocks they recently found, but have painted and hid many themselves. The activity is an inexpensive way to have fun as a family and to brighten the lives of others. Rock From page 1A forced to spend a month at the Holiday Inn in Barboursville that she began leaving painted rocks hidden at the motel to pass the time. Cobb grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and a friend there had started a rock club and encouraged Cobb to do the same here. On Jan. 10, Cobb started a group on Facebook called “Western WV Rocks,” and in a little more than two months, the club has nearly 6,400 members. The idea and the rules are simple: Paint a rock, hide it for someone to find, and/or find a rock and hide it again for someone else. She now realizes that what began while she was “down in the dumps,” has been as much a blessing to her as to the people who find the rocks. “This has been breathtaking,” said Cobb. “It has changed the rhythm of the world for me.” Cobb said the rocks are meant to spread small acts of kindness and to make someone smile. Often, the stories Cobb hears of how the rocks affect others though bring her to tears. She tells of a woman from Jackson, Ohio, who has a brain tumor and found a painted rock on her way to the doctor. The woman said she History From page 4A first published by Doubleday. In 1965, the wreck of the Confederate cruiser Georgiana was discovered by E. Lee Spence, 102 years to the day after it was scuttled. In 1977, the series finale of “Mary Tyler Moore” aired on CBSTV, ending the situation comedy’s seven-season run. In 1979, the U.S. House of Representatives began televising its floor proceedings; the live feed was carried by C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network), which was making its debut. In 1987, televangelist Jim Bakker resigned as felt it was a sign from God. Another said she had lost a daughter. She painted a rock with her daughter’s name on it and hid the rock as a way of healing. “There have been a lot of tears,” Cobb stated. “People need kind words.” But there are many happy stories shared, as well. One woman asked Cobb if she realized what she had created. She told her the streets of Point Pleasant were full again; full of children and their parents on Main Street and near the floodwall, searching for and hiding rocks. Cobb has two people helping her with the Facebook page these days – Amber Long Janicker, a fifth grade teacher at Ashton Elementary, and Cobb’s sister, Joyce Mayes. They try to post a nice comment to everyone who shares photos of the rocks they paint or find on the Facebook page. Cobb said anyone wanting to get started in the club can visit the Facebook page for details and guidelines. She said for the paint to adhere to the rocks, they must be completely clean and dry. Cobb suggests washing the rocks then placing them in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the rocks to cook chairman of his PTL ministry organization amid a sex and money scandal involving Jessica Hahn, a former church secretary.

Affectionately known now as “the rock lady,” Cobb said she recently painted 50 rocks and hid them at the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam. After posting where she hid them to the site, she sat back and watched as the parents and children came with their containers to hunt them. She is planning a painting session soon at Ashton Elementary, and has been requested to hold one at Beale. Schools are very popular hiding places she added, and the project teaches children to show love. Cobb said she has club members from Sissonville to Charleston in West Virginia, and from Ironton, Ohio to Louisa, Kentucky. The rocks have been carried to, and hidden, in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. “What’s funny is, it’s not really me doing anything,” she said. “They all have these beautiful hearts and loving hearts. They just needed a jump start to show themselves what tender-hearted people they really are. They thank me, when it’s all of them who have blessed me.” Mindy Kearns is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing who can be reached at mindykearns1@ hotmail.com. gas explosion in a Siberian coal mine killed 110 workers.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Indeed, just as the Gallia Academy community is also, Alex Penrod is excited to be back in Blue. However, he is most eager about restoring the outstanding tradition that is Blue Devil football. That’s because Penrod, a Gallia County resident and former Blue Devil assistant, has been hired as the new Gallia Academy High School head football coach. Penrod, a Logan High School and University of Rio Grande graduate and most recently the three-year head coach at Alexander, takes over a Blue Devil program that has fallen on hard times — posting back-to-back 1-9 campaigns. He was officially hired in a unanimous vote of the Gallipolis City Schools Board of Education at Wednesday night’s regular monthly meeting. Penrod replaces Josh Riffe, whose contract was non-renewed after three seasons at GAHS. “I’m very honored to have been chosen for this position and I look forward to restoring the great tradition here,” said Penrod. Penrod has been a resident of the Gallia Academy school district for the last 11 years, when he got his start in coaching for then-GAHS head coach Matt Bokovitz. He said he contacted Bokovitz, who gave him an opportunity — which turned into a love affair with the Gallia Academy community. Not to mention, he married a GAHS alumnus, and has a 17-month-old daughter that “will graduate from Gallia Academy.” “I wanted to get into not only the game of football, but also coaching and teaching football. Coach (Matt) Bokovitz let me come in and see how things were run,” said Penrod. “Fortunately, we had solid staff members around some exceptional talent. I fell in love with the town See PENROD | 2B Opportunities for Meigs Spring Cleaning abound Opportunities abound for Meigs Countians to do a little spring cleaning.

That’s because Gallia Academy, by being the Ohio Valley Conference boys basketball runner-up, amounted three honorees on the league’s all-league club —which was released on Wednesday. The Blue Devils — in just their second full-time winter in the OVC — placed freshman Zach Loveday and junior Justin Peck on the all-conference first team. Gallia Academy’s automatic Honorable Mention choice was sophomore Justin McClelland. The Blue and White, which placed second behind Fairland, went 8-4 in the OVC. Portsmouth placed third, while Ironton and South Point tied for fourth. Rounding out the order of finish were sixth-place Coal Grove, seventh-place Chesapeake and eighthplace Rock Hill. The all-OVC girls and boys basketball clubs are selected by the league’s coaches, as the two conference champions had three first-team players be honored. From there, the next four teams that finish in order in the conference standings land two firstteamers apiece, while the bottom three squads only get a single firstteamer. All eight OVC schools are allotted one automatic Honorable Mention selection. There are no Players of the Year selected, but Fairland’s Nathan Speed repeated as Coach of the Year. For the second consecutive season, Speed guided the Dragons to a perfect 14-0 league mark —and another OVC outright championship. Three Dragons donned first-team accolades: Isaiah Howell, Luke Thomas and Gunner Short. Portsmouth’s pair of first-team picks were Kendal Reynolds and Mike Malone, while Ironton’s first-teamers included Ethan Wilson and Ryan Bryant. South Point’s first-team tandem included Elijah Adams and Tayshaun Fox, while Jeb Jones of Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Gallia Academy’s Justin McClelland (12) and Justin Peck (35) captured all-Ohio Valley Conference boys basketball honors for the 2016-17 season. Peck posted first-team honors while McClelland made Honorable Mention. Coal Grove, Casey McComas of Chesapeake and Mason Darby of Rock Hill rounded out the first team. In addition to McClelland, Ty Staten of Fairland, Daniel Jordan of Portsmouth, Raphael Glover of Ironton, Logan Wade of South Point, Aaron Music of Coal Grove, Austin Jackson of Chesapeake and Timmy Adkins of Rock Hill were all Honorable Mention.

Penrod, 10 days ago, informed Alexander that he was “coming home” — by accepting the Gallia Academy job. He said he accepted the Blue Devil offer without hesitation, and was quickly contacting potential assistant coaches. “It doesn’t matter who the head coach is. The most important thing is the staff you can put around yourself,” said Penrod. “I’m very excited about the experienced guys we’re going to have on staff, but also the young guys that are Blue Devil alumni that can help mold the tradition that is this 2017 football team.” Penrod said he planned to formally meet with his 2017 squad on Friday (March 17). As for his general football philosophy, he prefers a spread-power attack — along with a fast-paced style of defense. “You are always going to want to put the best guys on the field. We’re going to be a spreadpower football team. We want to try to get as many offensive snaps as we can, but we also want to do what’s best for us. I think we have the personnel to do exactly what we want to do on the offensive side of the ball, and that is put the ball in the hands of the playmakers that we do have,” he said. “There is not going to be just one or two names with all the throws or all the carries. There is going to be a lot of different young athletes that are going to be involved in the game. We want defenses to stay honest and be up-tempo. Then defensively, I think we can be big and physical up front, and eliminate some two-way positions. It also comes down to the strength of our linebackers and being able to read our gaps and our assignments and get to the football.” But Penrod also acknowledged that there is a lot of building back to be done with the current state of the program. “I think it just comes back to belief and passion,” he said.”I think the fans still believed in the students and football players, but it gets hard when you continually see loss after loss and back-to-back 1-9 seasons. It’s just building that pride back into the community and the school every single day.” Although, with Penrod now leading the way, the prevailing thought is that will indeed hap- mores Kelsie Warnock and Allie Marshall made the first team.

We’re going to get better, and you’re going to see positive results on Friday nights,” he said. “We have a lot of work ahead to do, but I’m excited about being a Blue Devil once again.” The BOE also hired Cory Camden as the new Gallia Academy head soccer coach at Wednesday night’s March meeting.

The host Lady Falcons (1-0) — who lost to Williamstown 4-1 in last year’s Class A Region 4 final — exacted a little revenge in their home opener while giving Wolfe his first varsity win with the Red and White. More impressively, it was how Wahama went about earning that opening day triumph as the hosts appeared to be more in midseason form — rather it be at the plate or in the field. Wahama had four different players drive in timely runs throughout the course of the night, and some early offensive support allowed starter Cynthia Hendrick to find a groove through the better part of five innings of work as the hosts led 4-1 through five complete. The Lady Jackets (0-1) manufactured a run in the top half of the first as Courtney Dotson led the game off with a single, then stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball. Dotson came plateward one batter later as Skyler Chancellor grounded out, giving the guests their only lead of the night at 1-0. The Lady Falcons, however, answered with three scores in the bottom half of the first — all of which came with two outs in the Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama catcher Maddy VanMatre, left, successfully applies a tag to a Williamstown baserunner during the sixth inning of Thursday night’s season opening softball contest in Hartford, W.Va. inning. Hannah Rose led the inning off with a single, then stole second and third as Williamstown recorded a pair of outs before issuing a walk to Taylor McGrew. With two away and runners at the corners, Emily VanMatre pelted a two-run triple to leftcenter field that allowed both Rose and McGrew to score for a 2-1 Wahama advantage. VanMatre scored one batter later as Ashtyn Russell pounded out a triple to right-center field for a 3-1 lead through one full frame. The Lady Falcons added another run in the bottom of the second as Logan Eades received a leadoff walk and later scored on a one-out double by Rose for a 4-1 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Wahama baseball camp MASON, W.Va. — The first annual Wahama Baseball Camp will be held for any boy in grades K-8 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, at the Wahama baseball field.

In addition, the 32nd annual Ohio River Sweep will be held Saturday, June 17 from 9 a.m. to noon, and volunteers are always needed to contest. The score remained that way through five full innings, with Hendrick fanning three while allowing only one hit and one baserunner between the third, fourth and fifth frames. But in the top of the sixth, Williamstown started to find some rhythm offensively — which ultimately led to the single biggest play of the night for Wahama. The guests started things with a one-out double by Chancellor, who then scored on a Kayla Scott triple that made it a 4-2 game. Kristin Harmon then followed with a bloop single down the right field line that allowed Scott to score for a 4-3 contest. Alexis Schreckengost reached safely on an error in the next at-bat, giving the guests runners at first and second with still only one away in the inning. Wahama’s break, however, came with Nellie King at the plate. King blooped a single down the right field line and the ball was picked up by second baseman Hannah Billups, who fired a strike to catcher Maddy VanMatre as Harmon tried to score the tying run. VanMatre’s tag was in time to get Harmon at the plate, which allowed the Lady Falcons to maintain their slim one-run edge while picking up the second out of the inning. VanMatre caught a popup in foul territory one batter later, ending the Williamstown rally while also preserving that onerun lead. Russell delivered a one-out single to left to get things started in the bottom half of the sixth, then Maddy VanMatre followed with an RBI single to left one batter later as the hosts increased their lead out to 5-3 headed into the finale. Sarah Hendrickson started the seventh with a single and later scored on a one-out single by Dotson for a 5-4 contest, but Hendrick induced a pair of grounders for the final two outs of the game as Wahama held on for the one-run triumph. Williamstown claimed a 9-7 advantage in the hit column and also left five runners on base, compared to four baserunners stranded by the hosts. The Lady Falcons also committed both errors in the contest. Hendrick was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four earned runs, striking out three and walking zero in the complete-game decision. King took the tough-luck loss after surrendering five earned runs and two walks over six frames while fanning six. Afterwards, Wahama coach Mike Wolfe was pleased with the overall effort and outcome of the contest. “That was a great effort by my senior pitcher tonight in this kind of weather, mainly because she went seven innings and didn’t walk a single batter,” Wolfe said. “If we can get starts like that every time out, we’re going to have some success this year. “The other good thing about tonight was seeing all of those different kids contribute tonight. We got some big hits from a lot of different people and we had a lot of different people make some real nice defensive plays. Everybody contributed to this one and it’s definitely a good way to start the season.” Rose and Russell paced the hosts with two hits apiece, followed by Billups and both VanMatres with a safety apiece. Emily VanMatre led Wahama with two RBIs, while Rose, Russell and Maddy VanMatre also knocked in a run apiece. Dotson and Scott paced Williamstown with two hits apiece, followed by Chancellor, Harmon, Schreckengost, King and Hendrickson with a safety apiece. Dotson, Chancellor, Scott and Harmon also knocked in a run apiece in the setback. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Logano says incident at Vegas was ‘honest mistake’ AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The first face-to-face meeting between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano since last week’s post-race scuffle in Las Vegas is over. Whether the drivers feel any better about things headed into Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway is an open question. The two were summoned to a 15-minute session Friday with NASCAR officials as everyone involved tried to put the pit road brawl to bed.

He answered every question by repeating, “Everything’s great.” Logano initiated a phone conversation with Busch on Tuesday. He said after Friday’s meeting it was good to sit with his former teammate and explain the ontrack incident at Las Vegas was “an honest mistake.” Are the two OK? “I guess time will tell. We’ll see,” Logano said. “I hope he’s able to see that and know that I was sincere about it but time will tell.” The two were racing for position Sunday at Las Vegas and Busch spun because of Logano’s hard racing. Busch stormed River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, PA to its end in Cairo, Ill. More than 20,000 volunteers in six states bordering the river come down pit road and threw a punch at Logano before crews intervened. Team Penske was not penalized for tackling Busch, even though he sustained a gash to his forehead in the scrum. Logano said he has tried to persuade Busch with evidence he says shows he didn’t cause the wreck intentionally on the final lap. “I really just tried to explain that I made a mistake underneath him,” Logano said. “That’s basically what it was. He asked for some data. I was able to show him that.

(AP) — Cincinnati has made a name for itself with a stifling defense, turning every opponent’s possession into a grind. A little known fact outside of the American Athletic Conference: The Bearcats can play some offense, too. Working the ball inside to open things up on the perimeter, Cincinnati shot it way past Kansas State 75-61 on Friday night in the South Region of the NCAA Tournament. “They saw the fruits of trying to work harder to get that ball closer to the basket,” Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. “From there, you’re in a tough spot what do you do because you over help and we got guys on this team that can make shots.” Cincinnati (30-5) was knocked out in the first round a year ago and No. 6 seeds were 0-3 before the Bearcats took the court, with Maryland, Creighton and SMU all losing to No. 11 seeds. The Bearcats took care of their business and the No. 6 jinx with an impressive shooting display, hitting 62 percent from the field. Cincinnati is known for its defense and did that, too, preventing Kansas State (21-14) from making much of a run after building a 17-point lead. Troy Caupain scored 23 points and Kyle Washington added 16 for the Bearcats, who move on to play No. 3 seed UCLA on to go up nine midway through the first half and only slowed slightly. Caupain made all five of his shots to score 14 points and Cincinnati hit 15 of 23 to lead 39-28. “Right away off the bat we took jump shots and they got layups,” Weber said. “We talked about coming and doubling early. We probably weren’t quite in sync.” Kansas State made a run at the Bearcats early in the second half, cutting the lead to six. The Bearcats pushed the lead back to 13 behind their offense and with a tightened-up defense after those early baskets by Kansas State. Cincinnati made 12 of 20 shots in the second half. Inside control The Bearcats controlled the inside most of the night, finishing with a 31-23 advantage in rebounds, 34-22 in the paint.

Fortunately for the defending NBA champions, they can always count on LeBron James. James scored 33 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, and Cleveland defeated the Utah Jazz 91-83 on a night that the Cavaliers’ injury-riddled season took another strange twist. Kevin Love played for the first time since having surgery on his left knee last month, and scored 10 points in 19 minutes. But Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert left with injuries. Irving, who scored 21 points, didn’t play in the fourth quarter because of tightness in his left knee and said he left for precautionary reasons. He had a brief conversation with James before leaving. “I went to ‘Bron and was like, ‘You got this?’ and he said, ‘Yeah,’” Irving said. James certainly did. He was 13 of 20 from the field and had 10 rebounds with six assists. He also moved into 13th place all time in field goals, passing Tim Duncan in the fourth quarter. “Kyrie looked at me and said he probably won’t be able to finish the game,” James said. “With Kev being on a minutes restriction coming back, I knew Shump was out, I had to step up the scoring load a little bit.” Irving told reporters the knee had been bothering him for 48 hours and tightened up when he went to the bench after the third quarter. He isn’t sure if he’ll miss any playing time. Shumpert sprained his left shoulder in the third quarter. Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said Shumpert, who has been starting at shooting guard for nearly three months, is listed as day-to-day. Rudy Gobert led Utah with 20 points and 18 rebounds. The Jazz, who played in Detroit on Wednesday, seemed to run out of gas down the stretch. James hit two free throws to put Cleveland ahead midway through the fourth. He drove down the lane for a thunderous dunk and added a 3-pointer, giving Cleveland an 84-77 lead. The Jazz cut the margin to 84-81, but J.R. Smith’s 3-pointer from the corner and James’ layup put away Cleveland’s second straight win after losing four of five. Love had eight points in the first quarter. He had surgery Feb. 14 and was originally expected to miss six weeks. “Wind felt pretty good,” he said. “It was either going to be this weekend or tonight. I think once I saw how I was progressing and didn’t have any hiccups, tonight just felt right.” Shumpert had a dislocated left shoulder when the Cavaliers acquired him from the New York Knicks in 2015. The Cavaliers set a franchise record for 3-pointers made in a season (887), breaking the mark they set last season. Gordon Hayward was 4 of 14 from the field and scored 13 points. Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles each scored 12. To be expected James’ big fourth quarter was no surprise to the Jazz, who had won six of seven going into the game. “That’s why LeBron is who he is,” Hayward said. “He took over the game when we were right there in the fourth.” Tip-ins Jazz: F Derrick Favors (bruised left knee) and G Shelvin Mack (sprained left ankle) remain out. There’s no timetable for Favors’ return. … Gobert extended his streak of blocked shots in consecutive games to 37, a league high. … Utah is 20-14 on the road. Cavaliers: G Kyle Korver (sore left foot) missed his fifth straight game, but is expected to return during the upcoming road trip. … Lue said Smith will return to the starting lineup when the team is back to full strength. … F Derrick Williams (right quad contusion) didn’t play. AP SPORTS BRIEFS QB Geno Smith leaves Jets for Giants NEW YORK (AP) — Geno Smith is switching teams in the Jersey Meadowlands. The quarterback has agreed to terms with the New York Giants, pending passing a physical, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Friday. Like receiver Brandon Marshall last week, Smith is leaving the Jets but remaining in the same stadium. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. The 26-year-old Smith was a secondround draft choice by the Jets in 2013, but his stint with them was marred by injuries and inconsistency. He also lost his starting job in 2015 after then-team- mate IK Enemkpali broke Smith’s jaw with a punch during training camp. When Smith did get onto the field last season, it was brief. Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched for poor play, but Smith tore his right ACL in the second quarter against Baltimore and was done for the season. That was his first start since 2014. Smith will be a backup to Eli Manning, of course, and considering that Manning doesn’t miss games, his role might not include much field time for the Giants. Marshall left the Jets for the Giants and got a two-year, $12 million contract. New York on Friday and Saturday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation. The Jets have just the inexperienced Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg on their roster, and McCown would provide a veteran presence who could potentially start and be a mentor to the youngsters. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith are both free agents and Smith has agreed to terms with the Jets’ New York neighbors, the Giants, pending passing a physical. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the visit. NFL Network first reported McCown’s scheduled meeting with New York. McCown, who’ll turn 38 on July 4, played the last two seasons with CleveNEW YORK (AP) — Josh McCown might be the answer — in the short term, land. He appeared in 13 games for the at least — for the quarterback-needy Jets. Browns, throwing for 3,209 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The free agent QB is meeting with Jets meeting with free agent QB Josh McCown Freshmen lead Kentucky over NKU INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bam Adebayo had 15 points and 18 rebounds on Friday night as Kentucky showed the new kids on their block how it’s done at NCAA Tournament time, gritting out a 79-70 victory over stubborn Northern Kentucky. The second-seeded Wildcats (30-5) won their 12th straight and got their first-game jitters out of the way. They also wound up with a surprisingly close finish after pulling ahead by 18 points in the second half. The Norse (24-11) closed within 75-68 on Drew McDonald’s 3-pointer with 35 seconds left. Malik Monk made four free throws to close it out. Monk, the SEC’s player of the year, missed all of his six shots from beyond the arc and finished with 12 points, eight below his average. Freshman De’Aaron Fox scored 19 points. Northern Kentucky reached the tournament in its first year of eligibility, only the seventh team to do so since 1970. For the Norse, the tournament was more of a starting point than the end of a season. Perfect 2s With Kentucky and Duke winning on Friday night, all of the No. 2 seeds advanced. Arizona won easily on Thursday night against North Dakota. While a top seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, some No. 2 seeds have gone down hard in recent years. In the previous five years, four No. 2 seeds got knocked off in their opening games. The most recent upset came last year when Middle Tennessee beat Michigan State 90-81. Up next Kentucky plays Wichita State on Sunday. The Shockers beat Dayton 64-58 in the earlier game. Wichita State was 35-0 when it lost to Kentucky 78-76 in the second round of the 2014 tournament. �6B Sunday, March 19, 2017 SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Point Pleasant duo signs with WVSU football By Bryan Walters “I’m really excited for both of them because I think West Virginia State is a great fit for both of them, and I also think POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Proof that hard work pays both of them going together will help in the transition off in the long run.

The work, all of it, was WVSU better than it was worth it.” before. bwalters@civitasmedia.com Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant seniors Andrew Roach and Dakotah Booth, seated from left, are continuing their football careers as college teammates after each signed a letter of intent with West Virginia State University recently. The duo held an officiall signing party on Wednesday, March 15, at the PPJSHS Commons Area to celebrate the event. Joining Roach and Booth in the photo are PPHS athletic director Kent Price and PPHS football coach Dave Darst. Roach — who recorded 85 tackles, two interceptions and four fumble recoveries during his only year as a starter at PPHS — is also thrilled about having four or five more years to play football. Roach — who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 200 pounds — also credits his coaches for helping make this dream a reality. “I’m pretty excited about this opportunity, but this would not have happened without having some great coaches and great teammates to help me along since I started playing,” Roach said. “It’s an unexplainable feeling to know that I’ll be playing college football, which is something that I’ve always wanted to do since I was young. I am really looking forward to having this opportunity while also getting a quality education.” Both Roach and Booth currently hold 3.8 grade-point averages at Point Pleasant, and both also earned at least one varsity letter in other sports. Booth lettered as a member of the track team as a sophomore, while Roach was a four-year letterwinner in wrestling — including a thirdplace finish at state in the 195-pound weight class a few weeks back. Roach plans on majoring in Education at WVSU and Booth is focusing on Exercise Physiology while at school. As excited as Booth is about this awaiting endeavor, he believes that having a classmate and a good friend there with him will only add to the enjoyment of playing college football. Booth also feels that Point Pleasant has done a solid job in preparing both of them for the future. “It will be a big plus to have Andrew there with me, especially that first year. We have a lot of new things to learn, but we will have each other to lean on through it,” Booth said. “I think Andrew would agree that Point Pleasant has done a very good job of preparing us for college football. Coach Darst and his staff have always stressed the importance of hard work both in season and in the offseason, and it has made a difference in the players that we are today. There is more hard work to be done, but we have learned how to work hard over the last few years and we aren’t going to stop now.” Roach realizes that getting on the field may take a little longer than Booth, but it won’t be in different than what he had to go through to get on the field in high school. But, after having a senior year like Roach has enjoyed, he says he’s prepared to do it all again — especially in seeing how things have worked out. “The thing about hard work is that it doesn’t happen overnight. You have to continue to put the effort in every day. If you are willing to see the work through on a consistent basis, you will eventually get the results you are looking for,” Roach said. “I’ve worked really hard for four years so that I could be a starter, which happened my senior year. That one year on the field was enough to earn this opportunity, so I do feel that all of the work has paid off. “In heading to college, there will be more work to put in if I want to get on the field — and I’m prepared to do whatever is needed to make that happen. I also think having a good friend to lean on there like Dakotah will help if things start to get a little tough. I’m very excited that he is going to be a Yellow Jacket too.” Located in Institute within Kanawha County, WVSU was originally founded in 1891 as the West Virginia Colored Institute and later changed the school’s name to West Virginia State College in 1921. Andrew is the son of John and Traci Roach of Point Pleasant. Dakotah is the son of Brian Booth and Serena Young, both of whom reside in Point Pleasant.

The poor quality of discharge from septic systems and age of the systems were the most common reasons for failure. This ODH report has led to federal funding opportunities for the State of Ohio and Meigs County. The Meigs County Health Department has secured financial assistance in the form of a principal forgiveness loan from the Ohio EPA and the Ohio Water Development Authority to assist low to moderate income homeowners with the repair or replacement of their failing household sewage treatment systems (HSTS). The health department has already assisted or in the process of assisting seven Meigs County families with system replacements for a total cost of $59,000. The original amount of the loan awarded to the health department was $180,000 and was required to be dispensed by November 2017. The Ohio EPA has recently approved the Meigs County Health Department for additional funding and an extension of the program types of system through November failures can be of 2018. easily reversed by As mentioned replacing aerator before the most motors/pumps or common cited any other mechanfactors contributical devices of the ing to failure of system.
