Pitchford sworn in as Pomeroy Chief
By Lorna Hart

Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — Although Pomeroy Village Council did not have
a quorum at Monday’s regularly
scheduled meeting, an important
task was accomplished — the
swearing in of the new police
chief.
Mayor Don Anderson administered the oath to Chris Pitchford,
who had been approved by council
on Dec. 18. Pitchford replaced
long-time police chief Mark Profﬁtt, who stepped down at the end
of 2019.
A Meigs resident for the past 20
years, Pitchford is a familiar face
in the county, having served in the

Middleport Police Department.
Originally from Gallia County, he
attended Rio Grande University
and Pickaway Ross Career and
Technical Center.
Pitchford said he grew up in
public safety — his father was a
paramedic and ﬁreﬁghter.
“I grew up watching my father,
and I began my career as an Emergency Medical Technician and a
ﬁreﬁghter, but I was drawn to law
enforcement while attending Rio
Grande,” said Pitchford.
After graduation, he entered
the Buckeye Hills Police Academy
and served in the Gallia County
Sheriff’s Ofﬁce before coming to
Meigs.
As a Division Lieutenant in Mid-

dleport, Pitchford is familiar with
the area’s challenges. He said he
plans to concentrate on the needs
of the Pomeroy Police Department
and establish relationships with
other law enforcement agencies
including the Gallia-Meigs Task
Force.
“Our budget is tight right now,
but we want to be part of the conversation and plan future engagement with the Gallia-Meigs Task
Force as resources allow,” said the
chief.
After the swearing in ceremony,
Mayor Anderson announced Council is proceeding with efforts to ﬁll

Meigs Courts
receive nearly
$300k in grants
Staff Report

MEIGS COUNTY — Chief Justice Maureen
O’Connor announced this week that 54 local court
projects are receiving more than $3.2 million in
this year’s technology grant funding through the
Ohio Supreme Court.
Among those receiving funds are Meigs County
Court, Meigs Common Pleas Court and the Clerk
of Courts ofﬁce.
Meigs County Court is to receive $217,733.90
to upgrade the court’s existing case management
system. The awards is the second largest amount
awarded according to the information provided
by the Ohio Supreme Court, with only Wyandot
County Common Pleas Court receiving more funding.
In addition, the Meigs County Common Pleas
Court, Clerk of Courts ofﬁce, received $53,972
to upgrade the court’s existing case management
system.
The Meigs County Common Pleas Court, general and domestic relations division, also received
$24,929.93 to upgrade systems that support case
management.
Case management upgrades and security
improvements are among the local technology
projects selected to receive funding through the
Ohio Courts Technology Initiative.
This is the sixth year of disbursements since
Chief Justice O’Connor initiated the program,
with just over $17 million being received by courts
across Ohio.
Ohio appeals, common pleas, municipal, and
county courts are encouraged each year to apply
for grants to upgrade systems, hardware or equipment, or purchase new ones.
The projects selected for funding were scored
by a 27-member panel of judges, court administrators, clerks, information technology professionals,
security experts, and other personnel from local
courts across the state.
“Lack of up-to-date technology can hinder the
effective administration of justice,” Chief Justice
Maureen O’Connor said. “This year, the needs of

Killing of Iran general risks US gains against IS
By Robert Burns

AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump’s national security
team knew that killing Iran’s
most powerful general could hurt
efforts to mop up and head off
any revival of the Islamic State
militant group — and that is just
what has happened.
Two days after Gen. Qassem
Soleimani was killed in a U.S.
drone strike in Baghdad, the U.S.
troops in Iraq to ﬁght the Islamic

State are now focused on their
own defense, guarding American
bases and the U.S. Embassy from
an expected Iranian response.
The ﬁght against the militants
is now on hold, and a Trump
foreign policy achievement is in
doubt.
“When we looked at this operation we knew there would be
consequences,” said Gen. Mark
Milley, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. “We knew there’d
be risk.” But he said the threat of
attack on U.S. interests was too

great to not act.
The Islamic State evolved in
Syria after U.S. troops withdrew
from Iraq in 2011; its ﬁghters
swept back across the border in
2014, captured wide swaths of
western and northern Iraq and
imposed brutal rule over a selfdeclared “caliphate.”
A U.S.-led coalition ﬁnally
ousted the group from the last
of its territory in Syria in March
2019, but thousands of ﬁghters
scattered throughout the region
and continue to pose a threat.

Iran: missiles fired at Iraqi air base housing US troops
Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran
state TV says Tehran has
launched “tens” of surface-to-surface missiles at
Iraq’s Ain Assad air base
housing U.S. troops over
America’s killing of a top
Iranian general.
State TV described it
early Wednesday as Tehran’s revenge operation
over the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
U.S. forces could not be
immediately reached for
comment.
Ain Assad air base is
located in Iraq’s western
Anbar province. It was
ﬁrst used by American
forces after the 2003 U.S.led invasion that toppled
dictator Saddam Hussein.
It later saw American
troops stationed there
amid the ﬁght against the
Islamic State group in
Iraq and Syria.
State TV said the operation’s name was “Marytr
Soleimani.” It said the
Guard’s aerospace division, which controls
Iran’s missile program,
launched the attack.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.
AP’s earlier story follows
below.
A stampede broke out
Tuesday at the funeral for
a top Iranian general slain
in a U.S. airstrike, and
at least 56 people were
killed and more than 200
were injured as thousands
thronged the procession,
Iranian news reports said.
As the crowds mourned
Revolutionary Guard
Gen. Qassem Soleimani,
more angry calls rose
from Iran to avenge his
death, drastically raising
tensions in the Middle
East.
The U.S. continued to
reinforce its own positions in the region and
warned of an unspeciﬁed threat to shipping

from Iran in the region’s
waterways, crucial routes
for global energy supplies. U.S. embassies and
consulates from Asia to
Africa and Europe issued
security alerts for Americans. The U.S. Air Force
launched a drill with 52
ﬁghter jets in Utah, just
days after President Donald Trump threatened to
hit 52 sites in Iran.
Tuesday’s deadly
stampede took place in
Soleimani’s hometown
of Kerman as his cofﬁn
was being borne through
the city in southeastern
Iran, said Pirhossein
Koulivand, head of Iran’s
emergency medical services.
There was no information about what set off
the crush in the packed
streets, and online
videos showed only its
aftermath: people lying
apparently lifeless, their
faces covered by clothing,
emergency crews performing CPR on the fallen, and onlookers wailing
and crying out to God.
“Unfortunately as a
result of the stampede,
some of our compatriots
have been injured and
some have been killed
during the funeral processions,” Koulivand said,
and state TV quoted him
as saying that 56 had died
and 213 had been injured.
Soleimani’s burial was
delayed, with no new
time given, because of
concerns about the huge
crowd at the cemetery,
the semi-ofﬁcial ISNA
news agency said.
A procession in Tehran
on Monday drew over
1 million people in the
Iranian capital, crowding both main avenues
and side streets in Tehran. Such mass crowds
can prove dangerous. A
smaller stampede at the
1989 funeral for Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini killed
at least eight people and
injured hundreds.
Hossein Salami, Solei-

Erfan Kouchari | Tasnim News Agency via AP

Coffins of Gen. Qassem Soleimani and others who were killed in Iraq by a U.S. drone strike are carried
on a truck surrounded by mourners during a funeral procession Tuesday in Kerman, Iran. The leader
of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened on Tuesday to “set ablaze” places supported by the United
States over the killing of a top Iranian general in a U.S. airstrike last week, sparking cries from the
crowd of supporters of “Death to Israel!”

mani’s successor as leader
of the Revolutionary
Guard, addressed a crowd
of supporters gathered
at the cofﬁn in a central
square in Kernan. He
vowed to avenge Soleimani, who was killed in a
U.S. drone strike Friday
near Baghdad’s airport.
“We tell our enemies
that we will retaliate
but if they take another
action we will set ablaze
the places that they
like and are passionate
about,” Salami said.
“Death to Israel!”
the crowd shouted in
response, referring to
one of Iran’s longtime
regional foes.
Salami praised Soleimani’s work, describing
him as essential to backing Palestinian groups,
Yemen’s Houthi rebels
and Shiite militias in Iraq
and Syria. As a martyr,
Soleimani represented
an even greater threat to
Iran’s enemies, Salami
said.
Soleimani will ultimately be laid to rest
between the graves of
Enayatollah Talebizadeh
and Mohammad Hossein
Yousef Elahi, two former

Guard comrades killed
in Iran’s 1980s war with
Iraq. They died in Operation Dawn 8, in which
Soleimani also took part.
It was a 1986 amphibious
assault that cut Iraq off
from the Persian Gulf and
led to the end of the war
that killed 1 million.
The funeral processions in major cities over
three days have been an
unprecedented honor for
Soleimani, seen by Iranians as a national hero
for his work leading the
Guard’s expeditionary
Quds Force.
The U.S. blames him
for killing U.S. troops
in Iraq and accused him
of plotting new attacks
just before he was killed.
Soleimani also led forces
supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad in that

McConnell: GOP will start impeachment trial
By Lisa Mascaro,
Mary Clare Jalonick
and Alan Fram
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell said
Tuesday he has the votes
to start President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial as soon as
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi releases the documents, winning support
from GOP senators to
postpone a decision on
calling witnesses.
The announcement
is signiﬁcant, enabling
McConnell to bypass
for now Democratic
demands for new testimony as he launches the
third impeachment trial
in the nation’s history on
his preferred terms. It
could begin this week if
Pelosi sends the articles
of impeachment to the
Senate. She is set to
meet late Tuesday with
her leadership team.
“We have the votes,”
McConnell told reporters. He said the question of new witnesses
and documents will be
addressed later “and not
before the trial begins.”
The contours of a Senate trial have been in
dispute. Pelosi is delaying transmission of the
articles as Democrats
press to hear from former national security
adviser John Bolton and
other new witnesses.
McConnell has resisted
and prefers speedy
acquittal.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., tells reporters at
the Capitol in Washington on Tuesday that he has secured enough
Republican votes to start President Donald Trump’s impeachment
trial and postpone a decision on witnesses and documents that
Democrats want.

door lunch Tuesday that
he has support for his
plan, outlined in an organizing resolution that
would be modeled after
President Bill Clinton’s
impeachment trial 20
years ago. It would start
the trial ﬁrst and postpone votes on witnesses
until later in the process.
“He has 51 (votes), for
sure,”’ said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., a top
ally of the president,
exiting the meeting.
Republicans hold the
majority in the Senate,
53-47.
In withholding the
articles, Pelosi gave
Democrats an opportunity to ramp up pressure
on Republicans not to
go along with McConnell’s proposal. Senate
Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer called McConnell’s plan a “trap” and a
“cover-up.”
“Whoever heard of a
trial without witnesses
and documents?” the
New York Democrat

said. He asked Trump
what he has to hide.
“Witnesses and documents: fair trial. No witnesses and documents:
cover- up.”
Republicans countered
that Democrats rushed
to impeach and then
delayed the process.
Pelosi has yet to choose
House impeachment
managers for the trial,
a politically sensitive
next step, with many
lawmakers vying to be
candidates. The House
impeached the president
last month on the two
charges.
Just four GOP senators would be needed
to deny McConnell his
majority, but he appears
to have locked up the
votes. GOP leaders
were conducting a whip
count Tuesday to gauge
support. Several GOP
senators have indicated
they want to hear from
Bolton and other witnesses, but they are nevertheless standing with

McConnell’s plan for
starting the trial.
Sen. Mitt Romney,
R-Utah, said Tuesday
that the Clinton process
“provided a pathway” to
start the trial and consider witnesses “down
the road.” He said he
supports it.
“I’m comfortable with
that process,” Romney
said. “And at this stage,
I’d like to hear from
John Bolton and other
witnesses with the right
information, but that
process will accommodate that.”
Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine, has also said
she supports McConnell’s approach. Others
say they are not sure
they even need to hear
from Bolton or other
witnesses, blaming the
House for not forcing
them to testify. Trump
had instructed White
House ofﬁcials not to
comply with the House
investigation.
“It’s not that I don’t
want to hear from him,”
said Sen. Thom Tillis,
R-N.C. “I want to hear
from him when the
House is willing to do
their work and have the
same agreement with
the ambassador on their
side of the Hill.”
Trump faces charges
that he abused the
power of the presidency
by pressuring Ukraine’s
new leader to investigate
Democrats, using as
leverage $400 million in
military assistance that
is critical for the ally as
it counters Russia at its
border.

abandon the remaining
limits of its 2015 nuclear
deal with world powers as
his successor and others
vow to take revenge.
In Iraq, pro-Iranian factions in parliament have
pushed to oust American
troops from Iraqi soil
following Soleimani’s killing. Germany and Canada
announced plans to move
some of their soldiers in
Iraq to neighboring countries.
According to a report
on Tuesday by the semiofﬁcial Tasnim news
agency, Iran has worked
up 13 sets of plans to
avenge Soleimani’s death.
The report quoted Ali
Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme
National Security Council, as saying that even
the weakest among them
would be a “historic
nightmare” for the U.S.
He declined to elaborate,
“If the U.S. troops
do not leave our region
voluntarily and upright,
we will do something to
carry their bodies horizontally out,” Shamkhani
said.
The state-run IRNA
news agency later pub-

lished a statement from
the Supreme National
Security Council denying Shamkhani made the
comment.
The U.S. Maritime
Administration warned
ships across the Mideast,
citing the rising threats.
“The Iranian response
to this action, if any,
is unknown, but there
remains the possibility
of Iranian action against
U.S. maritime interests in
the region,” it said.
Oil tankers were targeted in mine attacks last
year that the U.S. blamed
on Iran. Tehran denied
responsibility, although
it did seize oil tankers
around the crucial Strait
of Hormuz, the narrow
mouth of the Persian Gulf
through which 20% of the
world’s crude oil travels.
The U.S. Navy’s
Bahrain-based 5th Fleet
said it would work with
shippers in the region to
minimize any possible
threat.
The 5th Fleet “has
and will continue to provide advice to merchant
shipping as appropriate
regarding recommended
security precautions in
light of the heightened
tensions and threats in
the region,” 5th Fleet
spokesman Cmdr. Joshua
Frey told The Associated
Press.
Meanwhile, Iranian
Gen. Alireza Tabgsiri, the
chief of the Guard’s navy,
issued his own warning.
“Our message to the
enemies is to leave the
region,” Tabgsiri said,
according to ISNA. The
Guard routinely has
tense encounters with
the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf.
Separately, Iran summoned the British ambassador over comments
by Prime Minister Boris
Johnson and the British
defense minister about
Soleimani’s killing, the
semi-ofﬁcial Mehr news
agency reported.

IN BRIEF

Indiana man incompetent
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A southern
Indiana man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend
and eating parts of her body has once again been
found incompetent to stand trial in the 2014 slaying, months after his ﬁrst trial ended in a mistrial.
An agreement between Joseph Oberhansley’s
defense attorneys and Clark County prosecutors
stipulates that he is to be transported to a state
hospital for competency restoration, based on two
evaluations ﬁled in December by psychiatrists, the
News and Tribune reported.
“Both court-appointed psychiatric experts
concluded that (Oberhansley) lacks the ability
to understand the proceedings and assist in the
preparation of the defense,” the agreement, ﬁled
Jan. 2, reads in part.
Oberhansley, 38, is charged with the 2014 rape
and murder of Tammy Jo Blanton, 46, whom he’d
been in a relationship with months before her gruesome killing, in her home in the Ohio River city of
Jeffersonville, just north of Louisville, Kentucky.

THEIR VIEW

Stepping
back into
the past
When my husband asked me what I wanted for
Christmas, I told him I wanted to go up to Galion,
Ohio, to see the house I had lived in before my
family moved to Delaware, back in
1944. I knew the address and have
always wondered if the memories I
have had in my brain, for the past 75
years, are anything like what I would
ﬁnd there today. And, of course, to
do that, we would have to be lucky
enough to see the inside of the
Kay
house.
Conklin
So, on the morning of Christmas
Contributing Eve day, in very heavy fog, we drove
columnist
up to Galion. Finding the house at
225 Grove Ave. was not as easy as
I thought it would be. But eventually, with directions from a mailman, we got there. First, we saw
where the store had been on the corner, so knew
we were close. That was the store I had gone to
for sugar and other foods that were rationed back
in 1944. Because WWll was going on, I remember
mom giving me money, along with the necessary
ration stamps, to purchase said foods that we
needed.
Knowing that I had lived on that street, we
parked the car and walked on the ice and snow
to ﬁnd the house with the address I have always
remembered. When we got to the house and saw
the numbers 225 beside the door, it didn’t seem
real. I was there, right where I had always wanted
to go back to some day!
As soon as George knocked on the door, a
young man opened it, while still talking on his cell
phone, and paused long enough to ask if he could
help us. Wasting no time, I said, “I used to live
here when I was in the ﬁrst and second grades,
and, I would love to see inside again!” He told
the person on the phone that he would call them
back later and invited us to come inside. Wow,
two steps up and there I was stepping back into
my past. I was in the same room I had walked out
of 75 years ago when we left there and moved to
Delaware. It was the door to their kitchen that we
had always used as our kitchen, too.
As I looked around at everything, I remembered
the day the ambulance workers carried mom
inside that doorway on a stretcher. She was just
coming home from the hospital after giving birth
to our new baby sister. And, as we were all trying
to get a look at her, our dad told us her name was
going to be “Jean Louise.”
The owner told us that we could look in the
“great” room. (To me it was known as our living
room.) I just wanted a peek, so as to see where
I remembered our ﬁrst lighted Christmas tree
being. Another memory that I told the owner
about was that most of us had Scarlet Fever while
living there and were quarantined inside. And, I
told him about the big “quarantine” sign that was
posted on the house to keep people out, so as not
to catch the dreaded sickness from us.
Since our oldest sister and our dad had been out
of the house when the sign was put up, they had
to stay out of the house, while the rest of us had to
stay in the house for what seemed like an eternity.
Our food was brought to the house and put on the
front porch, so we would have meals during the
long days we suffered from having that “acute contagious disease.”
I also told him about the “blackouts” we had.
Because World War ll was going on, the blackouts
meant we had to keep all our lights off in the evenings, so as to keep the enemy planes from being
able to see that there was a city down below. It
was only a test, but I didn’t know that. I thought
it was for real and was very scared that we were
going to be bombed. I was especially afraid
because the people directly across the street never
did turn their lights off.
We moved from that house on the day before
school started in Delaware. Eight of us got into
our car, with mom holding the new baby, our Dad
driving, and one of us sitting between them. And
then the other four of us all managed to sit in the
back seat together. How we ever pulled off that
much work and confusion in one day and then
found the schools and got in each of our classrooms the very next morning, I cannot imagine.
Not wanting to wear out our welcome, we
thanked the owner and walked back out of that
kitchen, just as we had done in 1944. Although the
front porch is gone now, the ﬂooring is different
and the walls re-done, I deﬁnitely felt I was back
in that same house I had remembered so well.
This past Christmas Eve day was one that I will
never forget, thanks to the owner of the house at
225 Grove Ave. for having the faith it took to open
his door to us and tell us both to “come on in.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo,
Mississippi.
In 1964, President Lyndon B.
Johnson, in his State of the Union

address, declared an “unconditional war on poverty in America.”
In 1968, the Otis Redding
single “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of

of the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing, was sentenced in New
York to life in prison without the
possibility of parole.
In 2004, A U.S. Black Hawk
medivac helicopter crashed near

Fallujah, Iraq, killing all nine soldiers aboard.
In 2006, the ﬁrst funerals were
held in West Virginia for the 12
miners who’d died in the Sago
(SAY’-goh) Mine disaster six days

6.4 quake strikes Puerto Rico
By Danica Coto
Associated Press

GUAYANILLA, Puerto
Rico — Thousands of
people ﬂed their homes
on Puerto Rico’s southwest coast on Tuesday
after a 10-day string of
earthquakes crescendoed
in a powerful magnitude
6.4 temblor that crushed
an elderly man, injured at
least eight other people
and sent buildings tumbling to the ground.
Hours after the predawn quake cut power to
the entire U.S. territory,
a large swath of southern
Puerto Rico was shaken
by smaller quakes late
into Tuesday afternoon.
Seismologists said there
was no way of knowing
when the series of quakes
would ease, prompting
Puerto Ricans to stay
with friends or family or
even sleep outdoors far
from the coast, fearful of
collapsing buildings or a
tsunami.
“I’m stringing up my
hammock,” said Miguel
Santana, a 38-year-old
resident of the southwest
coastal town of Guayanilla.
Alexandra Colberg, 27,
moved out of her deeply
cracked home in the nearby town of Guánica with
her husband and four
children, packing their
mattresses, a refrigerator,
a set of curtains and their
clothes into two pickup
trucks.
“What do I do with
this?” asked her 9-yearold son, holding a tiny
pink bucket with a pet
ﬁsh that survived the
earthquake.
“We need to go,
because if not we could
end up falling down
there,” Colberg said
as she gestured to the
ground ﬂoor from the
second story of her home.
She and her family soon
left for the mountain
town of Hormigueros,
where Colberg’s grandmother lives.
Most of the damage
occurred in Guánica,
where a three-story
school collapsed. Preparing to start a 12-hour
shift to protect it from
looters was María Mercedes Alcázar, a 63-yearold private security guard
who said she didn’t fear
earthquakes, but her
children, aged 37 and 42,
were jittery.
A friend who dropped
Alcázar off at the school,
49-year-old construction
worker Mario Cruz, said
he remains terriﬁed.
“I’m not right, emotionally,” he said. “I don’t
want to feel another one.”
The morning quake cut
electricity to the island as
power plants shut down
to protect themselves.
Authorities said two
plants suffered light dam-

Maribel Rivera Silva, 58, rests outside a shelter fearing aftershocks after an earthquake Tuesday
in Guanica, Puerto Rico. A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck Puerto Rico before dawn on Tuesday,
killing one man, injuring others and collapsing buildings in the southern part of the island.

age and they expected
power to be restored later
Tuesday. Puerto Rico’s
main airport was operating normally, using generator power.
Puerto Rico’s governor,
Wanda Vásquez, declared
a state of emergency and
activated the territory’s
National Guard. She said
some 300,000 households
remained without running water late Tuesday,
and several hundred
people were in shelters.
“We’re talking about an
event that Puerto Rico
hasn’t experienced in 102
years and we’re talking
about something that we
can’t predict,” she said.
Tuesday’s quake was
the strongest to hit Puerto Rico since October
1918, when a magnitude
7.3 quake struck near the
island’s northwest coast,
unleashing a tsunami and
killing 116 people.
Puerto Rico is in an
area prone to earthquakes, but Tuesday’s
quake was unusual
because it struck just off
the southern coast, said
John Bellini, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden,
Colorado.
Most large quakes in
the area happen some
60 to 80 miles off Puerto
Rico’s north coast, he
said. Since 1950, there
have now been ﬁve
quakes of magnitude 6.0
or larger near Puerto
Rico, and all the others have been far to the
north, he said.
But since Dec. 31, more
than 950 quakes and
aftershocks have been
recorded in the area of
Tuesday night’s event,
most too weak to be felt,
according to USGS.
The Caribbean islands
are prone to quakes
because they’re at a spot
where two tectonic plates
meet in a complex dance.
The North American
plate is being driven
below the Caribbean plate
in some parts of the area,
and the two plates are
also rubbing each other
sideways, Bellini said.

As the plates move, they
build up stress, eventually
causing an earthquake.
The unusual location of
Tuesday’s quake means
scientists don’t have a
detailed historical record
to draw upon in trying
to assess future activity,
Bellini said. Residents
can expect aftershocks for
some weeks, but they will
peter out in both size and
frequency and eventually
end, he said.
The USGS said that
while it’s virtually certain
there will be many aftershocks in the next week,
the chance of a magnitude 6 quake -- similar to
Tuesday’s -- or stronger is
around 22 percent.
The risk of a magnitude 7 quake or bigger
is extremely low, USGS
said.
Teacher Rey González
told The Associated
Press that his uncle was
killed when a wall collapsed on him at the
home they shared in the
city of Ponce. He said
73-year-old Nelson Martínez was disabled and
that he and his father
cared for him.
Eight people were
injured in Ponce, ofﬁcials
said. Hundreds of people
sat in the streets of the
city, some cooking food
on barbecue grills, afraid
to return home for fear
of structural damage and
aftershocks.
U.S. President Donald Trump was briefed
on the earthquakes in
Puerto Rico in the past
month, including the one
on Tuesday, said Judd
Deere, White House
deputy press secretary.
“Administration ofﬁcials, including FEMA
Administrator Pete
Gaynor, have been in
touch with the governor
and her team today, and
we will continue to monitor the effects and coordinate with Puerto Rico
ofﬁcials,” Deere said.
In the historic district
of Ponce, authorities
evacuated more than
150 people from two
buildings they said were

in danger of collapsing.
Among them were more
than two dozen elderly
patients from a nursing
home who sat in their
wheelchairs in silence as
the earth continued to
tremble.
Much of the damage
was reported in Guayanilla, where the mayor
said the municipality
won’t have power for at
least two weeks.
A 19th-century church
in Guayanilla partially
collapsed.
Ruth Caravallo, 73,
held on to the church’s
wrought-iron gate as she
cried.
“My sister was the
secretary here,” she said.
“My husband died two
months ago, and I held
services for him here.”
Around the corner, the
Rev. Melvin Díaz spoke
to a friend on the phone
and described damage to
the church’s icons.
“The Virgin fell, Saint
Judas is intact,” he said.
Díaz surveyed the collapsed church and said
he was optimistic about
rebuilding.

WATERFORD, Ohio — A tale of two halves.
The Wahama girls basketball team dropped a
61-34 decision to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division host Waterford on Monday in Washington County, where the Lady Falcons led at
halftime.
Wahama (4-3, 4-3 TVC Hocking) was ahead
11-10 eight minutes into play, and outscored the
hosts 12-to-11 in the second quarter for a 23-21
halftime advantage.
Waterford (7-3, 6-1), however, came out of the
half with a 23-to-5 run and led 44-28 with eight
minutes to play. The Lady Wildcats ﬁnished the
61-34 victory with a 17-to-6 spurt in the ﬁnale.
Wahama made 3-of-4 (75 percent) free throws
in the game, while Waterford was 8-of-10 (80
percent) from the line.
The Red and White were led by Emma Gibbs
with 12 points on six ﬁeld goals. Hannah Rose
sank the Lady Falcons’ lone three-pointer on
her way to 10 points, while Mikie Lieving and
Lauren Noble ﬁnished with four points apiece.
Rounding out the Wahama total with two points
each were Victoria VanMatre and Amber Wolfe.
Leading Waterford, Cara Taylor sank 11 ﬁeld
goals and all-5 of her free throw attempts en
route to a game-high 28 points. Mackenzie
Suprano hit a game-best two three-pointers on
her way to 20 points, 15 of which came after
halftime. Riley Schweikert scored ﬁve points in
the win, while Kari Carney, Brier Offenberger,
Maggie Huffman and Emma Hartline ended
with two points apiece.
These teams are slated to meet in Mason on
Feb. 3.
Next, the Red and White will host Eastern on
Thursday.

Changing of the QB guard

Rio’s Holden
honored
by RSC

By Arnie Stapleton
Associated Press

Suddenly, the old guard looks
rather old.
Tom Brady, who wants to keep
playing next season at age 43,
was overshadowed on wild-card
weekend by a QB who threw for
just 72 yards.
Drew Brees, who turns 41 this
month, followed up what might
have been his best season ever
with a dud that featured his ﬁrst
multiple-turnover game of the season on a day he wasn’t even the
best QB on his own team.
Now, Brady and Brees join fellow graybeards Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger
as spectators to these playoffs,
which feature the likes of greenhorns Patrick Mahomes, Lamar
Jackson, Deshaun Watson and
Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Patriots’ 20-13 loss to
the Tennessee Titans at Gillette
Stadium marked New England’s
earliest exit from the playoffs in a
decade.
Only twice in Brady’s two
decades in New England has his
season ended earlier. In 2002, he
missed the playoffs at 9-7 and in
2008 he blew out a knee in the
opener and watched the Patriots
miss out again despite going 11-5.
Without his usual weaponry
on offense, Brady faded down
the stretch. The defending Super
Bowl champs looked unbeatable over the season’s ﬁrst half,
dominating opponents whom they
outscored 250-61 through eight
games.
That all changed beginning
with a 37-20 loss to Jackson and
the Ravens on Oct. 27 in Baltimore. From that point on, the
Patriots won just four of nine
games and were outscored 184183.
It was during one of those earlyseason blowouts that Patriots
coach Bill Belichick exploited
another loophole in the NFL rule
book that came back to haunt him
in the playoffs.
Belichick realized he could just
eat up game clock with a series of
delay-of-game or false-start penalties prior to a punt and oddly he
exposed this loophole late in a
33-0 blowout of the Jets on Oct.
21.
“It was just the way the rules
are set up,” Belichick said after

senior Sydney Holden posted a career-high and also
eclipsed 1,000 career points on her way to River
States Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the
Week Dec. 30-Jan. 5.
The 5-foot-9 guard from Wheelersburg, Ohio kept
the RedStorm unbeaten in the RSC by averaging 17.5
points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game in two
victories. She shot 67 percent from the ﬁeld (12-for18), made 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point arc and
was a perfect 8-for-8 at the foul line.
Holden went over 1,000 points in a win over Indiana University East, ﬁnishing with a career-high 29
points in addition to six rebounds, seven assists and
four steals. She went 9-for-12 from the ﬁeld, 3-for-3
from distance and 8-for-8 from the foul line.
Holden also had six points, six rebounds, ﬁve
assists and three steals in a rout of Fisk (Tenn.).
Rio Grande is 11-6 overall, 4-0 RSC and will be at

Reds agree to $21
million, 3-year deal
with OF Shogo Akiyama
CINCINNATI (AP) — Outﬁelder Shogo Akiyama
agreed to a $21 million, three-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds, the only major league team that hasn’t
had a player born in Japan.
Akiyama, 31, became a free agent after his ninth
season with the Seibu Lions in Japan’s Paciﬁc League,
where he was a ﬁve-time All-Star. The center ﬁelder
could move to one of the corner spots in Cincinnati’s
unsettled outﬁeld.
Akiyama gets $6 million this year, $7 million in
2021 and $8 million in 2022.
Center ﬁelder Nick Senzel is returning from surgery
on his right shoulder, and the addition of Akiyama
gives the Reds another option at that spot. They also
have outﬁelders Aristides Aquino, Jesse Winker and
Phillip Ervin.
“We scouted Shogo for several years in anticipation of his free agency,” said Dick Williams, Cincinnati’s president of baseball operations. “We like his
approach at the plate as well as his outﬁeld defense,
and we think he will complement our team very well.”
It’s the second signiﬁcant offseason move by the
Reds to try to upgrade an offense that ranked near
the bottom of the NL in runs last season. They also
signed second baseman baseman Mike Moustakas to
a $64 million, four-year deal — the largest for a free
agent in club history.
Cincinnati also signed Wade Miley to a $15 million,
two-year contract that added a left-hander to its deep
rotation that already included All-Stars Luis Castillo
and Sonny Gray, along with Trevor Bauer and Anthony DeSclafani.

that game. “We were able to run
quite a bit of time off the clock
without really having to do anything. It’s a loophole that’ll be
closed and probably should be
closed. But right now, it’s open.”
While Belichick was smirking
on the sideline when he was the
one doing it to the Jets, he was
furious Saturday night and yelled
at the ofﬁcials when Titans coach
Mike Vrabel employed that same
strategy — and at a much more
opportune time.
Tennessee was ahead 14-13
when Vrabel had the Titans run
nearly two minutes off the clock
before punting the ball to New
England with four minutes left.
The Patriots went three-and-out
and didn’t get the ball back until
15 seconds remained, still down
by one.
Brady forced a pass that was
intercepted and returned for a
touchdown, sealing the loss in
what could be Brady’s ﬁnal game
for New England if he decides to
play elsewhere in 2020.
“We’ve talked about this,”
Belichick said afterward. “It’s the
same thing we’ve talked about
before. It’s the same. Nothing’s
changed.”
Except that he was the one who
paid the price.
Brady ﬁnished with a 59.1
passer rating, throwing for 209
yards with no touchdowns and
an interception. His counterpart,
Ryan Tannehill, only completed 8
of 15 passes for 72 yards but one
of those was for a touchdown and
another was a 22-yarder to Derrick Henry, who also rushed for
182 yards.
In New Orleans on Sunday,
Brees completed 26 of 33 passes
for 208 yards but he threw a
costly interception that led to a
Vikings touchdown and committed his ﬁrst fumble of the season
on one of his three sacks. The
Saints had set an NFL mark with
just eight turnovers in the regular
season.
Brees was outplayed not only
by Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins
but also by his own teammate,
do-everything backup Taysom
Hill, who became the ﬁrst player
in the playoffs with 25 or more
yards rushing, receiving and passing.
Hill’s 50 yards rushing on four
carries led the Saints, who got
just 21 yards rushing from Alvin

Kamara. Hill also threw a 50-yard
pass and had two receptions for
25 yards, including a 20-yard
touchdown.
(Wondering if Jerry Jones
asked Mike McCarthy about the
Packers cutting Hill in 2017 after
the former Brigham Young star
ﬁrst ﬂashed his skills in Green
Bay that summer).
The Patriots and Saints were
considered the most dangerous
lower seeds in their respective
conferences but neither could get
out of the wild-card round.
The Patriots saw their threeyear run to the Super Bowl
end — along with their eight
consecutive appearances in the
conference championship — and
the Saints lost on the ﬁnal play
for the third consecutive year.
Two years ago, it was on the
Minneapolis Miracle and last year
it was in overtime to the Rams
after the infamous non-call on a
blatant pass interference, which
led to a rules change in 2019.
This time, it was on a tight end
Kyle Rudolph’s touchdown grab
in overtime that gave Minnesota
a 26-20 win moments after Cousins hit Adam Thielen for 43 yards
to the Saints 2-yard line.
Saints fans argued that
Rudolph pushed off defensive
back P.J. Williams on the gamewinning catch.
Many TV commentators and
NFL rules analysts said offensive
pass interference should have
been called on the ﬁeld or by the
league ofﬁce in New York. But
ofﬁciating chief Al Riveron said
that while there was contact by
both players, “none of that contact rises to the level of a foul.”
ESPN rules analyst John Parry
disagreed.
“Nineteen years in this league,
I’ve got it as OPI,” Parry said. “I
mean, I have a right arm that’s
extended. There’s clear separation. And at the end there is a
push, which creates the advantage based on the defender’s body
going back into the ﬁeld of play.
So, the receiver can take advantage and get up and get the football. I have it as offensive pass
interference.”
Wil Lutz kicked a 49-yarder at
the end of regulation to tie it at
20, but the Saints blew a chance
to take another shot or two at
the end zone and avoid overtime
altogether.

Balanced scoring, stifling
defense lead WV over Okla. St.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — It was
a night where the ball just wasn’t falling
for either team, but in the end, West
Virginia’s defense was more stiﬂing and
that was the difference.
Offensively, Oscar Tshiebwe scored
12 points and Derek Culver had nine
points and 12 rebounds to help lead No.
17 West Virginia to a 55-41 victory over
Oklahoma State on Monday night.
Tshiebwe also had eight rebounds,
while Miles McBride added 10 points
for West Virginia (12-2, 1-1 Big 12),
which is now 5-1 in its last six outings.
Despite shooting just 38.8 % (19 of
49) from the ﬂoor, and just 55 % (11
of 20) from the free-throw line, the
Mountaineers were able to maintain at
least a double-digit lead for virtually the
entire second half. They also won the
rebounding battle 40-36.
“I thought we did a pretty good job of
staying in front of them, we didn’t turn
them loose much,” said West Virginia
coach Bob Huggins. “And we rebounded. Pretty much, it was one and done,
which really helps, not giving them
extra shots.”
After defeating then-No. 5 Ohio State
67-59 on Dec. 29, the Mountaineers fell
60-53 to No. 3 Kansas on Saturday, but
bounced back in a big way in this one,
especially defensively.
They held Oklahoma State to just
29.2% (14 of 48), including just 27.3 (6
of 22) in the ﬁrst half. They also limited
the Cowboys, a team that entered the
day averaging 31.3% on 3-pointers, to
just 5% (1 of 20) from 3-point range,
including 0-for-10 in the ﬁrst half.
“We tried to ﬁx a couple of things
from Saturday, where we did a better
job of containing people,” Huggins
said of the West Virginia defense. “But
they had a bad day. We had a bad day,
too. It was hard for me to watch sometimes. It was neither one of our better
games.”
Lindy Waters had 12 points for Oklahoma State (9-5, 0-2), which is 2-5 in
its last seven after starting the season
7-0. Despite shooting just 4 of 16 from
the ﬂoor, including 1 of 9 from beyond
the arc, Waters became the 42nd player
in OSU history to reach the 1,000point milestone.
Cameron McGriff added 10 points
and eight rebounds for the Cowboys.
“I think at the end of the day, we just
got beat tonight,” said Oklahoma State
coach Mike Boynton. “I thought defensively, we did a lot of really good things.
We forced 20 turnovers, we hold them
to less than 40 percent shooting and we

hold our own on the glass against what
I think is the best offensive rebounding
team in the country.
“I am also really excited about what
I saw from our team in terms of their
competitive ﬁght for 40 minutes. At
some point, we’re going to shoot better.”
Following the 28.8 % (15 of 52) they
shot in their 85-50 loss to No. 22 Texas
Tech on Saturday, the Cowboys have
had their two worst shooting nights of
the season back-to-back.
“It wasn’t really anything that we
haven’t seen before,” McGriff said of
West Virginia’s defense. “I think what
we didn’t do is make shots. At the free
throw line, we didn’t shoot well, and we
went 1-for-20 from 3, so that’s not good.
We got a lot of good looks, we just
didn’t knock them down.”
Oklahoma State missed senior guard
Thomas Dziagwa, who sat out with the
ﬂu. Dziagwa is averaging 9.0 points per
game and is shooting nearly 43% on 3s
this year. He had started 45 consecutive
contests.
Big picture
West Virginia: The Mountaineers
entered the game boasting one of the
NCAA’s top defenses, and they showed
why. They started the game ranking
ﬁfth in ﬁeld goal percentage (36.2%)
and They were also third in 3-point
defense (24.9%) and limited the Cowboys, a team that entered the day averaging 31.3% on 3-pointers, to just 5%
(1 of 20) from 3-point range, including
0-for-10 in the ﬁrst half.
Oklahoma State: Coming off a blowout 85-50 loss to No. 22 Texas Tech on
Saturday, the Cowboys started strong
and hung with West Virginia for much
of the ﬁrst half. When Lindy Waters
sank a ﬁve-foot jump shot with 7:05
left in the opening half, Oklahoma
State led 13-12. But the Mountaineers’
defense tightened up after that and the
Cowboys shot just 1-of-7 from the ﬂoor
and West Virginia outscored them 16-6
the rest of the way until half time, as
the Cowboys entered the break trailing
28-19.
He said it
“It’s not an easy league to play in,”
said Oklahoma State freshman guard
Avery Anderson, who had eight points
and three rebounds. “You’ve got to be
tough, you’ve got to ﬁght every night
and you’ve just got to take care of the
ball. Each possession matters in the Big
12.”

XFL to unveil rules innovations
NEW YORK (AP) —
When the XFL debuts in
February, it will take a
“Star Trek” approach of
going where no football
league has gone before.
The eight-team league
will have options for
extra points worth one,
two or three points. It
will allow double forward passes behind the
line of scrimmage.
Kickoffs will look way
different, in the name of
both safety and excitement. Overtime will
look like the NHL’s version of settling matters
with a “shootout.” No
coin tosses here, with
each team getting up to
ﬁve shots to score from
the 5-yard line — similar
to World Cup soccer
shootouts.
Is it a catch at the
sideline? Well, the ofﬁciating calls might be
easier because the XFL
will use the college rule
of receivers needing
only one foot in bounds
rather than the NFL’s
two-feet rule.
Speaking of ofﬁciating, there will be a
dedicated ball spotter to ensure a faster
tempo that comes with
a 25-second play clock.
A running clock, too,
except in the ﬁnal two
minutes of each half.
All replay reviews will
be initiated by an ofﬁciating booth, with no
coaches challenges.
To XFL Commissioner
Oliver Luck, a former
NFL quarterback and
longtime football executive, a speedier game
means a more entertaining one.
“From research we
had done, fans think
there’s too much downtime and dead time. I
suppose games have gotten longer,” Luck says.
“We wanted to take a
step forward by going
back to games under
three hours based on all
our fan research. More

action and more plays
speed it up.
“Our data analysts
looked at hundreds
of games. This makes
sense from a ﬂow perspective, TV perspective
and fan perspective. And
I am looking forward to
as we launch, will our
players be required to be
in better shape? They’ll
be moving fast and playing with tempo. That is
going to be neat; conditioning may play more
of a role in our game.”
The XFL kicks off
on Feb. 8, the weekend
after the Super Bowl,
seeking more success
than its predecessor in
2001 (one season) and
last year’s Alliance of
American Football (less
than a season). Its innovations could be a turnon for fans who never
tire of football. Or they
could come off as gimmicks, though the XFL
mantra is “no gimmicks
— ever.”
Luck and Fox analyst
Dean Blandino, the
former head of NFL ofﬁciating now overseeing
XFL ofﬁciating, believe
these and other changes
are worth a try.
Such as the double
forward pass.
“My thought as I
watch the game develop,
there are more quarterbacks out of the shotgun
and already 6 yards back
from the line,” Luck
explains. “You aren’t
wanting to throw a lateral to a receiver who
would have to be 7 yards
or more behind the line
of scrimmage. I thought
to myself that the traditional trick plays would
be enhanced. … We are
excited to have that in
the repertoire.”
The one-foot-inbounds completions
should ease the strain
on pass catchers — and
ofﬁcials.
“When you look at
the college rule versus

the NFL,” Blandino
says, “it deﬁnitely is
still a skilled play, but
an easier play. But I
will say there will be
less replay reviews; it’s
easier to ofﬁciate looking for that one body
part. I see less controversy in terms of catch/
no catch.”
Adds Luck: “As we
went through this process, we had to keep in
mind that players in our
league will have played
in college, and a vast
majority spent time
in the NFL, some in
the CFL. We had to be
somewhat selective in
terms of innovations to
adopt. They need to be
teachable to our players
to play fast. We have
had our coaches working with the players on
all these innovations to
make sure they don’t
black out and think they
are in a different league
or back in college.”
Luck and Blandino
also note that the onefoot catch is safer
because the receiver is
not dragging his second
foot, so he can roll to
the ground in a true
football fall.
Where fans (and
bettors and fantasy
players — yes, the
XFL is likely to have
those, too) might be
most intrigued is after
touchdowns are scored.
There will be no PAT
kicks in the XFL. Rather, a scoring team can
go for one point from
the 2-yard line, two
points from the 5 or
three points from 10.
Yep, a nine-point lead
can be a one-possession
game.
“I think it brings
strategy into a play that
historically has been a
simple decision,” Luck
says. “Even with the
NFL moving the extra
point kick further away,
it’s still a 93.6% success
rate. A fait accompli.

HURRICANE, W.Va. — Slow starts
will get you in the end.
Host Calvary Baptist Christian outscored the Hannan boys basketball
team by a 30-14 margin in the opening
quarters of each half and ultimately held
on for a 58-39 decision Monday night
in a non-conference matchup in Putnam
County.
The Patriots (8-6) — who were without leading scorer Robert Clutter —
received a pair of trifectas from Rodger
Clutter as part of a 12-6 ﬁrst quarter run,
then both teams netted a dozen points
apiece in the second frame — making it
a 24-18 contest at the break.
The visiting Wildcats (1-6) were ultimately never closer as both Clutter and
Ben Scarbro drilled a pair of trifectas,
sparking an 18-8 third quarter surge that
pushed the advantage out to 42-26.
Calvary limited HHS to just three ﬁeld
goals down the stretch and closed regulation with a 16-13 run to wrap up the
19-point decision.
The Wildcats connected on 14-of-60
ﬁeld goal attempts for 23 percent, including a 1-of-9 effort from behind the arc for
11 percent. The guests were also 12-of18 at the free throw line for 67 percent.
Casey Lowery and Ryan Hall paced
the Cats with 12 points and seven boards
apiece, followed by Chandler Starkey
with nine markers and a team-best 10
boards. Logan Barker and Xavier Stone
completed the Hannan tally with three
points each.
The Patriots netted 24 total ﬁeld
goals — including 10 3-pointers — and
also missed all ﬁve of their free throw
attempts.
Scarbro led Calvary with a game-high
18 points, followed by Clutter with 15
points and Micah Daniels with 10 markers.
Lawson Blake and Isaiah Bosley
respectively chipped in eight and three
points, while Luke Pauley and Caleb Cox
completed the winning score with two
points apiece.
Hannan was at Teays Valley Christian
