For the past 15 years, Laudermilt has served as a dispatcher for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and during that time she’s made lifelong friends who will continue to be a part of her life long after her career is finished. During her time as a dispatcher, Laudermilt says she’s heard it all, from calls about assaults in prisons to calls of an Courtesy photo inebriated man operating a lawn Brandy and her son, Herb, live in Racine with their sons Brandon and Ryan. mower. But she said no matter the subject of the call, it’s about keeping her officers safe, both in Athens, where she works full time, and at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, where she serves as a part-time dispatcher. “My main goal is to make sure my units are safe, and no matter (if they’re) in a black uniform or a gray uniform, that they go home to their families,” she said. “They’re my main concern. Even if the phone is ringing nonstop, my guys and gals on the road come first — always.” And it’s these troopers and deputies who recently thanked Laudermilt for her service by awarding her Dispatcher of the Year honors. Laudermilt said her decision for a career, which began in 2001, was practically predestined since law enforcement runs in her family. And she said the key to the job, which can be extremely stressful depending on the calls that come in, is to be constantly vigilant. “Just make sure you’re taking all the notes, all the pertinent information,” she said. “And if (the other person) is being very unprofessional, you say, ‘Hey, listen. I’m here to help you. You either have to slow down … I need to have information about (the issue).’” She said there are differences with her two jobs, including See DISPATCHER | 3A The Meigs County commission ponders jail issues By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — People arrested in Meigs County for violations of municipal and state criminal statutes may find themselves sitting in a neighboring county’s jail. The Meigs County Board of Commissioners on Thursday discussed details of a jail contract in which Meigs County prisoners may be housed in the Washington County Jail. The contract was provided to commissioners by Sheriff Keith Wood before the meeting for their review. In general, the agreement would allow people arrested in Meigs County for violations of municipal and state criminal statues to be held in the custody of Washington County after their initial appearance before a judge. Chris Shank, of the Department of Job and Family Services, asked commissioners for approval to enter into Title IV-D with the following agencies: Meigs County Juvenile Court, Prosecutor, Common Pleas Court and Clerk of Courts. The effective dates of the contracts are Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2016. The motion was made and approved on a roll call vote. Shank also requested a lateral move for an employee within the department to fill a vacancy the Workforce Development Division. Approval was given for Lori Hatfield to be transferred to that position from the Income Maintenance Division. Area 14 Workforce Development Board Director Scott Zielinski introduced himself to the commissioners. He told them his job came about because Ohio wanted a separation on procurement and administrative services, and if there were questions or changes that needed to be made, he would be their contact on the Board. Program Administrator for the Meigs Soil and Water District Steve Jenkins requested a transfer of $26,000 into their Special Fund Account. This will be the first transfer to the fund in 2016 and is half of the previously agreed amount of $52,000 necessary for the Meigs SWD to receive state matching funds from the ODA. The commissioners discussed computers for each prescient in Meigs County.

Clocking out for the very last time By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com RACINE — As Maxine Rose completed her last day as loan clerk at Home National Bank in Racine, she was surrounded by bank employees and customers wishing her well. After 25 years, Rose is retiring and says she plans to spend time with her family that includes two sons, a daughter, two grandsons and a “granddog.” “I’m just going to do what I want to do,” she said. “I’ll continue volunteering in the community and in my church, and of course, spend time with my family.” Rose began her career at HNB in 1990, before the bank moved to its current location 502 Elm St. in 2010. She recalled being at the former location in downtown Racine during snow storms and floods, and said everyone who worked at the bank had a “hands-on” approach in ensuring the bank was open to customers. “I remember the flood of 2002,” she said. “It was Pictured is the HNB loan department. In the front, from left, are Alisa Smith, Maxine Rose and Sheila Buchanan In back row are bank President Roma Sayre, Carol Schuler and Shelly Pierce. the biggest flood during the time I worked at the bank. Everything was flooded. We waded through water and cleaned carpets to get the bank ready to re-open for our customers. It was nice when we moved to our new location and didn’t have to worry about floods anymore.” Snow storms presented problems as well, and she said it was typical for everyone to be shoveling snow, clearing sidewalks and making sure the bank drive-through was passable. Rose said she could always get to work first because she lives nearby and seldom missed a day because of the weather. “In the 90s, we had a blizzard, snow was as high as the stop signs, everyone was shoveling,” she said. “A customer came and plowed our parking lot, and we were open for business.” See TIME | 6A �LOCAL 2A Friday, February 12, 2016 OBITUARY MEIGS COMMUNITY CALENDAR ROBERT LEE MILLER RACINE — Robert Lee Miller, 59, of Racine, passed away Thursday, Feb. 4, 2016, at his residence.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling granting Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted’s request to dismiss the lawsuit. The Democratic Party, some individual candidates for state judgeships in 2010 and a labor organization sued, arguing the law violates constitutional rights to freedom of expression and association. The appeals court found the law doesn’t place a severe burden on those constitutional rights and any “minimal” burden is justified by the state’s interest in minimizing partisanship in judicial races. A message left Thursday for attorneys representing the plaintiffs wasn’t immediately returned. Judicial candidates are allowed to list their political party affiliations on primary ballots. Radio ads defend term limits, though no vote imminent COLUMBUS (AP) — Radio spots are airing across Ohio that warn state lawmakers are scheming to extend term limits — though no vote to that effect is imminent. The ads come from U.S. Term Limits, a national group that supports capping how many years legislators can serve. It began the ads Tuesday in Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown. They reference “politicians in Columbus” seeking to neutralize Ohio’s current term limits, which restrict state senators and representatives to eight consecutive years in either chamber. Legislative spokespeople confirm that no bill extending term limits is before either the House or Senate. The Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission is considering a pair of proposals to extend Ohio’s term limits to 12 years. The body scheduled committee meetings Thursday, but no votes were scheduled. Cleveland mayor apologizes for billing family of dead boy CLEVELAND (AP) — The mayor of Cleveland apologized Thursday to the family of Tamir Rice, a black 12-year-old boy fatally shot by a white Cleveland police officer, for the city having sent the administrator of the boy’s estate a “decedent’s last dying expense” claim of $500 for ambulance services. Mayor Frank Jackson opened a City Hall news conference by saying, “We want to start off again apologizing to the Rice family if in fact this has added to any grief or pain they may have.” Friday, February 12, 2016 3A Hemlock Grove talks Valentine’s traditions By Barb Fry For the Sentinel MEIGS COUNTY — Hemlock Grave met recently for their February meeting. Rosalie Story opened the meeting with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and a patriotic song, accompanied by Ann Lambert on piano. Discussion was held about feral hogs in the county. The bananas bought in stores are not like the ones bought before now. The price of corn and crude oil are very low. Discussion on the 100-year founding of the Grange was again talked about. Kim Romine, lecturer, used “Valentine’s Day” as her program. In Japan, it’s all about spoiling your man on Valentine’s Day. March 14 is Answer Love on White Day, when the men give the women white chocolate and other gifts. In the 1700s, in England, on the eve of Valentine’s Day, single women used to place or pin five bay leaves to each corner of their pillows and one in the center, with the belief it would bring them dreams of their future husbands. Romine ended her program by giving everyone a small box of chocolate candy. The March meeting will be preceded by a corned beef dinner at 6:30 p.m. All members are invited. Senators offer anti-heroin bills By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI — Ohio’s Democratic senator on Wednesday offered his own plan for battling the deadly drug overdose epidemic affecting many states, including his own. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Cleveland said his federal legislation treats opioid addiction as a multifaceted problem and includes prevention, crisis response, increased access to treatment and long-term recovery support. His Republican counterpart, Sen. Rob Portman of the Cincinnati area, has been promoting anti-heroin legislation already moving forward in Washington. Brown’s bill calls for funding expanded training for responding to overdoses and for needle exchange programs, offering financial support to encourage health professionals treating substance use disorders, and targeting help for states and regions seeing sharp increases in heroin and prescription drug abuse. “It shouldn’t be easier for Ohioans to get their hands on opioids than it is for them to get treatment for their addiction,” Brown said.

Our gym was referred to as a “crackerbox gym” because of its small floor and close-to-the-court seating. Back in the day, the sports writer of the Winchester Evening Star, Russ Potts, once wrote about our longtime home-court winning streak that “even the Celtics would lose on the Warriors’ home court.” The streak was still intact when my younger brother, Chris, played. He and his teammates were such care-free characters and cut-ups that it often drew the ire of Coach Pete Vance. One night they had played particularly lackadaisical.

I will be the first to admit that the death of a loved one hurts hard. However, a believer in Jesus Christ should grieve well the death of the believer in Jesus Christ. It begins with the very point of this account that when one dies physically, the Lord gets us to where He wants us. He said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” Receiving us unto Himself is getting us where He wants us, is it not? After all, mankind is behind in the score of life to begin with because of the reality of the condemnation of sin. On the other hand, God knew exactly what He was doing on our behalf when He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross to provide a sure salvation from the guilt and consequences of sin. The Lord loves us. He does not want us to go to hell. He wants us to go to Heaven, for sure. To me, it is no small measure of consolation to know that the Lord takes the bornagain Christian to where He wants us to be there in Heaven with Him. There in the hospital room I gathered the family around for prayer. I told them we have not lost Chris. We know where He is. He is still alive, just living in a far better place. You cannot beat that with any amount of hoops. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Does He know you love Him?

And on that day, asks, “if you don’t actually do the things I say? (Luke 6:46) the question, “Does He know you Jesus told His followers, in no love Him?” will be one of eternal uncertain terms, what we should be importance. That big day is a day of judgment, doing if we truly love Him. “If you love me, keep my comin which men will give an account of mandments.” (John 14:15) Jesus themselves to God. God has signified the truth of this event by raising went on to say, “If you keep My coma man from the dead: the very man mandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s He has appointed to judge us — commandments and abide in His Jesus Christ. (cf. Acts 17:30-31) Some men will hear Jesus say, “Well love.” (John 15:10; NKJV) Elsewhere the Scriptures reiterate this done, good and faithful servant.” (cf. Matthew 25:21). Still others will thought: “For this is the love of God, hear, “I never knew you, depart from that we keep His commandments.” me, you who practice lawlessness.” (1 John 5:3a) Jesus doesn’t want flowers as a (Matthew 7:23) sign of affection. He doesn’t want Clearly your relationship with chocolate, or a nice card. He doesn’t Jesus is a matter of no little imporwant mere words of poetry and flattance. tery. What Jesus wants from those Which brings us back around to who claim to love and admire Him is the question: Does He know you obedience to the things He taught. love Him? Such obedience acknowledges the Many will protest that, of course, wisdom of Jesus because it shows they love Jesus. They will claim to a willingness to accept the idea love His goodness, His kindness, that Jesus knows best how we each should be living. Such obedience also acknowledges the authority of Jesus, who, having claimed following coming back from the dead, that all authority, “in heaven and on earth” was His (cf. Matthew 28:18), thereafter taught His disciples to teach other disciples all the things that He, Jesus, had commanded them (cf. Matthew 28:20). To deny the commands of Jesus is to deny His authority and His kingship. Without this obedience, Jesus not only doubts our love for Him, but He knows of a certainty that whatever love we have is not the kind of love he desires. So we return to the question: “Does He know that you love Him?” Is there evidence in your life, in the form of obedience to the commands of Jesus, that you actually care for Him? Does He have a part to play in your life, or is your affection for Him a shallow sort of affection, one where you might be willing to buy a small card, but not actually do much more? Good relationships need more than mere words and occasional small tokens of appreciation. This is true in romantic relationships. It is true in familial relationships. It is certainly true in your relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We might add, “As the big day approaches, make sure He knows that you care.” The Church of Christ would be happy to help you in your relationship with Jesus, and invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

One on one. “It was just a lot of mutual respect,” James said of the embrace. “Sometimes what is known doesn’t need to be said.” The two superstars shared the same floor in Cleveland for the final time on Wednesday night as the Cavaliers, despite playing the second half without Kevin Love, downed the Los Angeles Lakers 120-111 in their last game before the All-Star break. Kyrie Irving scored a season-high 35 points and James added 29 for the Cavs, who feared Love had re-injured his surgically repaired left shoulder in the first half. However, following the game Love said he only has a “stinger” and doesn’t expect to miss any time. Bryant finished with 17 points in his last performance in Cleveland, where many fans cheered his every move and fans serenaded him with “Ko-be” chants throughout the night. For James, there has been no player of his era quite like Bryant. “His competitive nature,” James said when asked what he admires most about Bryant. “A lot of guys might be bigger, taller or jump higher, but it’s something that’s in you that gets you to that level.” Lou Williams scored 28 to lead the Lakers, who have dropped 13 of 15. The Cavs caught a major scare late in the second quarter when Love quickly left the floor after getting his arm caught under Bryant’s while working in the post. “At the time I really didn’t know what it was,” Love said. “It’s like when you get hit in the funny bone in your See CAVS | 6B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, February 12 Boys Basketball Southern at Eastern, 7:30 Waterford at Wahama, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7:30 Meigs at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 South Gallia at Trimble, 7:30 Hannan at Robert C.

GAHS fall short to Warren in sectional By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com LOGAN — The Blue Angels indeed were full of battle. Unfortunately for Gallia Academy on Wednesday night, they were often empty on opportune offensive possessions. As a result, the Blue Angels’ basketball season came to an end inside Jim Myers Gymnasium in Logan, as the top-seeded Warren Warriors advanced past Gallia Academy 53-45 in a Division II sectional semifinal. The underdog Blue Angels — seeded ninth in the Logan sectional — ended their season at 4-20, while Warren raised its record to 15-7 — and advanced to Saturday’s sectional championship game against fourth-seeded Jackson. The Warriors swept all three of their meetings against Gallia Academy this season, including twice in the regular season — as part of the final year of the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League. In fact, the first matchup saw Warren wallop the Blue Angels 92-33. But Gallia Academy almost pulled off a massive upset on Wednesday, rallying from a 17-point second-quarter deficit to trail just 51-45 with 15 seconds to play. In fact, following a missed freethrow attempt on a Warren oneand-one situation, the Blue Angels had the ball with 12.6 seconds left. But, like many of their possessions, Gallia Academy committed an unforced turnover — and Warren’s Katie Rauch registered the final basket for the eight-point (5345) final score. While Warren was without the injured Molly McCutcheon, the Warriors forced 27 Blue Angel turnovers — and committed only seven fouls. The Blue Angels amassed 48 rebounds to the Warriors’ 32 to try and keep within range, but Gallia Academy only shot 29-percent from the field (17-of-58). “We played hard, but just missed easy bunnies (short-range shots) and had too many turnovers. We’ve done that all year, though,” said GAHS coach Joe Justice. “We want to play at a fast pace, but we have very small room for error. In the first half, we really put ourselves in a bind due to missing layups and not taking care of the ball.” The Blue Angels never led, despite the game’s only tie at 2-2 on a Jalea Caldwell putback only a minute-and-a-half in. The Warriors scored three consecutive field goals over the next two minutes, and Gallia Academy’s only other deficit within six was 8-3 on an Adrienne Jenkins free throw. Gallia Academy trailed 17-9 after the first quarter, 29-17 at halftime, and 38-27 following three periods. The Blue Angels trailed by double figures for 11 minutes and seven seconds, before battling back for three nine-point deficits at 30-21, 36-27 and 38-29. Finally, GAHS —on a steal by Caldwell and layup by Hunter Copley —got to within 47-40 with 2:55 remaining. But an Emily Jackson jump shot for the Warriors, combined with Adrienne Lang landing two free throws, made it a double-digit deficit again only 1:13 later. Two free throws by Jordan Walker and Copley canning her third three-pointer trimmed the deficit down to 51-45, but the Blue Angels finally ran out of gas — and ultimately out of time. “We had it (deficit) down to nine three times, then all of the sudden it’s back up to 13, 14 or 15. It’s just getting over that hump and having confidence in themselves that we can do this,” said Justice. “When we finally got it down to seven, I believe we had a little bit of confidence. Then Copley hit a big shot to get it down to six, and we had the ball again but then had that last turnover.” Copley canned six total field goals, including three threes, to lead all scorers with 18 points. She drained two triples and scored 11 of her 18 in the fourth quarter to lead the comeback bid. Jenkins added four field goals for nine points, while Walker (two field goals and 3-of-4 free throws) and Carley Shriver (three field goals) scored seven points apiece. After Jackson’s layup gave the Warriors their largest lead of the fourth quarter at 15 points (47-32), Shriver and Copley connected on back-to-back threes as part of an 8-0 Gallia Academy run. Warren was guilty of 20 turnovers, including nine in the fourth quarter which helped fuel the Blue Angels’ rally. Caldwell, who led GAHS with 11 points in Monday’s sectional quarterfinal win over Athens, scored just two first-period field goals against the Warriors. Copley and Walker both made 3-of-4 free throws, as Gallia Academy only attempted 10 —the same number the Warriors made. A Copley trey and 2-of-2 foul shots, along with Walker’s first field goal and 1-of-2 freebies, kept the Blue Angels at a dozen-point deficit at halftime. The Blue Angels added five field goals in the third frame, including three by Jenkins to trail by 11. Walker grabbed a fourth (12) of Gallia Academy’s rebounds, while Caldwell caromed seven.

Among those still on the free-agent market are pitcher Yovani Gallardo, shortstop Ian Desmond and outfielder Dexter Fowler, who all turned down $15.8 million, one-year guaranteed contracts from their teams last November. “I think it’s disappointing when there are as many talented players still without a home,” Clark said during a Feb. 4 interview with The Associated Press. “I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interest to be in a world where very talented players are at home for whatever reason they are there. It will likely be a part of the conversation in bargaining.” A former All-Star first baseman, Clark took over as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association in late 2013 after Michael Weiner died due to a brain tumor. Now 43 and seven years removed from his playing days, Clark is the first player to head the union. Clark will lead players in negotiations for a labor contract to replace the deal that expires Dec. 1. Following eight work stoppages from 1972-85, baseball has had more than two decades of industry peace. When the current deal was reached, head labor negotiator Rob Manfred — now the commissioner — wrote a memorandum to team executives on Nov. 22, 2011, and estimated eight to 10 free agents annually would receive qualifying offers — the average of the 125 highest-paying contracts — which attaches the loss of a top amateur draft pick for a team that signs a new player. There were nine offers in 2012 and the number climbed to 13 the following year, 12 in 2014 and 20 this offseason, when there was a deep free-agent class. “If there are considerations in areas that appear to be damaging the concept of competitive balance, then they should be reviewed and looked at, and this would appear to be one of them,” Clark said. realize a playoff berth is out of reach. A lottery to determine the order of top picks, such as the NBA has had since 1985 and the NHL has had since 1995, might change behavior. “It will be beneficial to look at that,” Clark said, “and not look at it in a vacuum but appreciate whatever it is that we attempt to negotiate there or propose there, that it ties into the other moving pieces and doesn’t create an imbalance.” Some other topics: A LOTTERY FOR TOP DRAFT PICKS Clubs draft in the reverse order of their winning percentage the previous season, perhaps an incentive to trade talent late in the season once executives DECREASE IN OFFENSE “I think a lot of it is going to be cyclical,” Clark said. “Some of it may be tied to a particular year of weather vs. not weather. Some of it may be tied to fences being adjusted vs. not.” MANAGEMENT’S DESIRE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL DRAFT “While conceptually it sounds nice to think of everyone entering the game in same fashion, the truth is there are significant issues,” he said. “It will undoubtedly be part of the negotiation in ‘16, and it will be very interesting to see how that discussion manifests itself.” LUXURY TAX THRESHOLD The threshold for where the luxury tax starts rose from $148 million in 2007 to $178 million by 2011, the previous labor deal’s final season. It remained there through 2013, then climbed to $189 million, where it has remained. While industry revenue has grown and the average salary has increased about 40 percent since 2007, the threshold has gone up about 28 percent. That appears to have suppressed spending by most large-market teams. “We were coming out of a very difficult time with the recession in 200809,” Clark said. “As the industry continues to grow, considerations made to the competitive balance tax should grow as well.” CUTTING THE SCHEDULE “We’ve had conversations in the past related to the length of the season. Those conversations didn’t end up going anywhere. I don’t know that they’ll go anywhere this time,” Clark said. “There’s a number of things on and off the field that can be done.” Daily Sentinel TORONTO (AP) — Chris Bosh sees no need to reflect on where he was at this time last year. Physically, mentally and emotionally, he moved past it all long ago. The tubes stuck into the side of his chest, the fear of his life being in danger by the blood clot that attacked one of his lungs, the tests that would determine if his career could continue and the searing pain that accompanied each breath all are safely tucked away in the memory bank, and life as Bosh has known it for more than a decade has resumed. A year after a blood clot gave the Miami forward the scare of a lifetime, Bosh is again an All-Star. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I know C.B. probably as well as I’ve known anybody that I’ve coached and I know his competitive character. You don’t ever want anything like that to happen to anybody in this league. The one thing you can take from it, though, is he has great perspective. I think we all can use that.” Bosh is back at the All-Star Game this weekend, and as an added bonus he’ll do so in the city where his NBA career began. Only three players who will be taking part in Toronto this weekend — Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade — have more AllStar appearances than Bosh, who has been selected for the league’s midseason showcase in each of the last 11 seasons. He’s even taking part in the 3-point contest on Saturday night, not deterred in the least that at least one Las Vegas sports book lists him as the longest shot in the field of eight. So right now, he’s perfectly content looking ahead, not back at the diagnosis that came just days after last year’s All-Star weekend ended. “I just put all that stuff behind me,” Bosh said. “Once I was free of it, once I stopped having pain, I was like, ‘Well, OK, I’m out the door and hopefully I won’t be back here again.’ I appreciate everything more, but that’s really it. We can always talk about it. I don’t mind talking about it, but personally I just walked away being thankful and leave it at that.” Bosh and Wade were on vacation with their wives in Haiti after last year’s All-Star events in New York, and Bosh had been dealing with pain in his side for some time. The pain worsened, so Bosh’s wife Adrienne insisted that her husband get checked out at a hospital. That’s when the clot was found, Bosh’s season was declared over and his future seemed most uncertain. But this season, he’s been good as new. Bosh leads the Heat at 19.1 points per game, just ahead of Wade’s 18.7 as the two veterans have Miami back in playoff contention. Bosh has also established a careerhigh in 3-pointers with 81 already, one of the reasons why he’s in the long-range contest against the likes of more-traditional 3-point stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors. “I don’t have anything to lose,” Bosh said. “No one expects me to win, so I could just throw hook shots up there and I don’t think it’ll be a big deal.” All jokes aside, Bosh’s NBA family is thrilled to have him back and flourishing again. “He’s such a class act on top of being a talented player,” said San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich, who will lead the Western Conference All-Stars against Bosh and the Eastern Conference squad on Sunday night. “You pull for those kind of guys even more than the usual just-good player. To have him back, seeing him doing what he loves and helping his team, it’s good for him, his team, his city and the NBA, really.” Bosh’s reception in Toronto might not exactly be warm — Raptors fans haven’t necessarily forgotten that he left for then Miami in 2010 — but the weekend will still be one to savor. “It takes a lot more to make me nervous,” Bosh said. “I’ve been in so many life situations. It’s going to be exciting. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Just to be in these situations, it’s always a great thing.” Getting your daily Newspaper has never been EZ er @ $8.17 per month with the The Daily Sentinel EZ-Pay Yes, I want to get convenient delivery daily Tuesday – Friday and Sunday to my home! $8.17 / month (reoccurring payment) Payment is enclosed Check Enclosed Please charge my Card #: ____-____-____-____ Expiration date: __ / __ Name: ___________________________________________________ Address: _________________________________________________ Signature: ________________________________________________ City: __________________ State: _______ Zip: _________________ Phone: ___________________________________________________ Email: ____________________________________________________ Mail or bring this offer to The Daily Sentinel, 111 Court Street, Pomeroy, OH, 45769 or call 740-992-2155 60637576 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, February 12, 2016 3B Impact Hack-a-Someone tactic having on NBA MIAMI (AP) — San Antonio’s first play of the 2008-09 season was designed and executed perfectly. Spurs’ center Tim Duncan didn’t bother jumping for the opening tap, conceding it to Phoenix’s Shaquille O’Neal. Five seconds later, Michael Finley wrapped his arms around O’Neal for an intentional foul. O’Neal was livid. That is, until he saw Spurs coach Gregg Popovich breaking into hysterics and giving him two thumbs up. Yes, Hack-a-Shaq used to be a laughing matter. It isn’t anymore. The increasing strategy of fouling bad foul shooters on purpose to send them to the line and slow their team’s offense to a crawl has raised the ire of everyone from booing fans to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. The antics will likely be something the league tries to curb in the coming months. But no one seems to know how, and not many seem sure the rules need changing to protect the free-throw challenged. “It’s ugly, but I’m going to do it,” Popovich said. “If you don’t want me to do it anymore, learn how to shoot a free throw.” O’Neal is retired, but Hacka-Shaq — or as it can also be called these days, Hack-aDwight, Hack-a-Dre, Hack-aDeAndre and Hack-a-Hassan — is still around in its aesthetically awful glory. It can turn games into free-throw contests, many coaches and players openly dislike it and it primarily targets a few who are notoriously bad at the foul line. “I hate it,” Popovich said. “I hate it,” added Miami guard Dwyane Wade. They’re not alone, though not everyone speaks with such venom. “In baseball you can walk a player,” Atlanta’s Al Horford said. “There are different things you can to do impact the game. If they want to change it, it’s their call but it doesn’t bother me.” If the league was to change things, one option would be to have such fouls carry the same penalty a flagrant does, two shots and retained possession. “I think that sets a horrible example for kids, honestly,” Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said. “You can’t protect guys because they can’t shoot free throws. We’re getting paid a lot of money to make a damn free throw, dude. I think it sets a bad precedent. “I wouldn’t change it.” And really, only a few guys are worth even trying to use the ploy against. With a 35 percent success rate so far in 2015-16 Detroit’s Andre Drummond — an AllStar — is on pace to have the worst free-throw-shooting season in NBA history, after narrowly avoiding that dubious distinction last year. And if he’s not careful, the Los Angeles Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan could soon rank as the worst foul shooter the league has ever seen. Houston’s Dwight Howard and Miami’s Hassan Whiteside have also been frequent targets this season — seemingly at any cost. When opposing teams are at the free throw line, players have jumped on the backs of poor shooters to ensure the officials see — and call — the foul. “If I’m watching playoff games between the Clippers and Spurs, and if they’re hacking DeAndre, I kind of don’t want to watch the game anymore,” Indiana’s Lavoy Allen said. “But if we’re playing DeAndre, it’s good for us. But I would like to see some change to that. It messes up your game and slows it down and makes it boring to watch.” Of the 137 players with more than 100 free-throw attempts this season entering Wednesday, only five — Drummond, Houston’s Clint Capela, Jordan, Golden State’s Festus Ezeli and Howard — are below 55 percent from the line. Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry from Golden State shoots significantly better from 3-point range, usually guarded no less, than Drummond, Capela and Jordan do from the line. “That’s the thing,” San Antonio’s David West said. “It’s a basic skill that a lot people neglect. … If that’s where guys are deficient or have a weakness, I don’t think it there should be an outside attempt to save them.” Then there’s this element: Hack-a-whoever rarely brings a win. The Spurs won thanks in part to it in December, when they trailed the Clippers by four in the third quarter and started hacking Jordan. Atlanta benefited in December against Houston, the tactic helping keep the Rockets to one field goal in the final 8 minutes. Houston blew a 10-point lead and lost. But such examples are rare, and the fact remains that one of the basic principles of competition is finding weakness in opponents. “There’s no way you can make the game perfect,” Minnesota coach Sam Mitchell said. “I’m all about tweaking it to make it as good as possible. But when it comes down to the skill of players, it’s on the players and coaching staffs and organizations to try to get players better at certain aspects. And at the end of the day, it comes down to that guy in the mirror. Get in the gym and work at it.” And before any change gets made — if one comes at all — Popovich hopes the league considers what the unintended consequence may be. “In your gut, you know there’s no place for it,” Popovich said. “But on the other hand, you’re competing and you take advantage of things, weaknesses of the other team. If you have guys who can’t shoot, they’re not going to guard him. “I’m not sure what the answer is. The league’s trying to figure it out. We’re all trying to figure it out. It’s a tough one.” Vickers to replace Replay officials could have more say Stewart at Daytona “It’s not the case that on every play the replay official is going to scan Replay officials are the field to see what haplikely to have more power pened,” Redding said. when it comes to calling The SEC requested the targeting penalties in col- opportunity to experilege football next season. ment with collaborative The NCAA football rules replay review, with officommittee proposed givcials monitoring games ing replay officials more from a command center authority to overturn incor- away from the stadiums. rect targeting fouls and “This is the necessary to call targeting penalties first step and we will now when they are missed on further engage our memthe field.

Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Brian Vickers is expected to replace injured driver Tony Stewart for the NASCAR season opener at Daytona International Speedway, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. Stewart-Haas Racing has scheduled a Friday news conference to discuss its plans for the No. 14 Chevrolet. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team is awaiting word from NASCAR on whether Vickers is medically cleared to race. Vickers ran only two races last season before having a recurrence of blood clots. He can’t compete when being treated for the clots because the blood thinners increase his risk of serious internal bleeding if he crashes. Stewart is sidelined for the start of his final NASCAR season with a fractured vertebra. He was hurt riding an all-terrain vehicle in the desert in California last week. Vickers is only expected to run at Daytona, which opens Friday ahead of the Feb. 21 season-opening Daytona 500. SHR is still looking at all of its options for beyond Daytona. Stewart is expected to race at some point this year. Vickers has been sidelined four times for health issues since 2010. He missed the final five races of the 2013 season because he was placed on blood thinners to treat a blood clot in his right calf. He also missed 25 races during the 2010 season when clots were discovered in his legs and lungs. During his 2010 absence, he underwent a pair of procedures, one to close a hole in his heart and another to insert a stent into a vein in his left leg. He was private about the heart surgery and didn’t address it until a month after the procedure. Peyton Manning has a little fun with little brother NEW YORK (AP) — Peyton Manning had a little fun with little brother Eli’s sad face at the Super Bowl during an appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show.” Peyton said he understood why Eli wasn’t elated like other relatives in the luxury suite at Levi’s Stadium who were jumping and celebrating after Denver’s late touchdown sealed the Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. He said Eli had his game face on. “Eli and I have always supported each other. I think Eli was analyzing the game and kind of into the game like I would be as if he were playing it. And so he was just as happy,” Peyton told host Jimmy Fallon during the show that aired Wednesday night. Then, he and Fallon quickly pivoted to a bit where they spoke to a lifesized cutout of Eli, the New York Giants quarterback who won two Super Bowl rings himself. “It’s funny, when I saw that clip, Jimmy, I’ve seen that look before. I’ve recognized it. At other big moments in my life he kind of had that similar expression,” Peyton said. “I can remember 18 years ago, calling the night before the draft and said: ‘Eli, guess what? The Colts are going to draft me No. 1 in the NFL draft tomorrow.’” The camera showed cardboard Eli’s expressionless face. — A ball carrier who slides feet first will be treated as a defenseless player. — Deliberate tripping of the ball carrier (with the leg) was approved as a foul. The rules committee also proposed allowing the use of technology such as tablet computers or laptops during games in the coach’s box and in the locker room, but not on the sideline. Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner Tom Yeager said cost concerns about competing schools being able to provide similar technology led the committee to stop short of voting in favor of allowing computers on sidelines. The ineligible receiver rule was considered for a second straight year. Unlike last year, no changes to the rule were proposed, but the committee decided to instruct officials to more stringently enforce the 3-yard limit for offensive linemen when a pass is being thrown and to adjust how officials watch for linemen moving down field. Last season the committee proposed changing the limit to 1 yard, but the proposal was shot down by coaches. Offensive coaches led the opposition, while defensive coaches hoped for a change. There has been an increase in offenses using run-pass option plays that deceive defenses by having linemen block as if it is a running play. Defensive coaches have complained about the lack of enforcement of the ineligible receiver rule. Redding said midway through last season the conference coordinators of officials decided to change how the ineligible receiver rule was officiated. “We jointly made a decision … to continue to have the umpire be primarily responsible for the ineligible receiver down field, but then give secondary responsibilities to the head linesmen and the line judge,” Redding said. “Those are the officials on the sideline who are right on the line of scrimmage. “The coordinators are telling the officials, ‘This is going to be a hard and fast 3-yard rule.’ We’re not going to allow some slop. We’re not going say if it’s 3 1-2 will give them that or 4.” 60576582 By Ralph D.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Dr. Richard Budgett said there are no health warnings against traveling to Brazil, except for pregnant women, and stressed that no consideration has been given to postponing or canceling the games. “Our priority is to protect the health of the athletes,’ Budgett said on Thursday. “The IOC absolutely is not complacent. We do take this very seriously. … Everything is being done to contain and reduce this problem in the lead-up to the games.” Brazil is the epicenter of the Zika outbreak, raising concerns about the potential risks of infection during the Aug. 5-21 Olympics. The World Health Organization has declared Zika a global health emergency. Health officials are investigating whether there is a link between Zika infections in pregnant women and cases of microcephaly, a rare condition in which infants are born with abnormally small heads. Pregnant women have been advised against traveling to infected areas.

We are looking for true facts to make sure we don’t generate any unnecessary worries.” Budgett said the IOC is in regular contact with the WHO, which has a unit dealing specifically with mass gatherings, such as the Olympics. “The IOC are not experts on infection disease,” he said. “We follow the experts, and the WHO and the others at the moment say there is absolutely no restriction on travel, but to seek advice if you are pregnant or planning to be.” The U.S. Olympic Committee said it would hire two infectious disease specialists to advise potential Olympians who are worried about the Zika outbreak. “That’s absolutely fine,” Budgett said. “Everyone involved should take the best expert advice.” Among athletes who have openly voiced worries about going to the games is U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo. “All I can do is speak for myself. If the Olympics were today, I would not go,” she said Wednesday in Frisco, Texas. Budgett said comments such as Solo’s are positive and negative. “It shows people are taking their health seriously and want to protect their health. That’s good,” he said. “It’s negative in that it’s not actually following the advice of health authorities.” Ultimately, he said, the choice is up to each individual. “You certainly can never force anyone to go,” he said. “We just have to keep reiterating the official advice of world health authorities.” Meanwhile, the Australia team medical director said water quality will be more of a threat to the health of athletes and officials at the Olympics than Zika. In a telephone interview with the AP, Dr. David Hughes said the polluted waters of Guanabara Bay and other aquatic venues for Olympic events were a serious health issue. “If someone gets a nasty gastro infection, vomiting and diarrhea, it’s not ideal for competing in an Olympic environment,” Hughes said. Testing of Guanabara Bay conducted by the AP over the last year shows disease-causing viruses linked to human sewage at levels well above what would be considered alarming in the U.S. or Europe.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 6B Friday, February 12, 2016 Daily Sentinel Clippers suspend Blake Griffin LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Griffin was suspended four games without pay on Tuesday for punching a team staff member, and the Los Angeles Clippers will dock the star forward’s pay for an additional game because he broke his shooting hand. In all, Griffin will lose $859,442 from his season salary of $18,907,725. A team spokesman said the suspension will begin when Griffin is healthy, cleared to play and active. He was expected to be out fourto-six weeks while his hand heals from the Jan. 23 altercation in Toronto. The spokesman said the fine was issued by the Clippers, with the NBA assisting in the investigation of the incident as well as in the disciplinary process. No other punishment from the league is expected. The Clippers end a four-game road trip Wednesday night in Boston before the AllStar break this weekend. They resume play with a four-game homestand starting Feb. 18 against San Antonio. The Clippers will donate Griffin’s salary from the five games to charities that help disadvantaged youth in Los Angeles. The team said Griffin asked to donate his time to the organizations. “We have made it clear that this conduct has no place in the Clippers organization,” Cavs team owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers said in a joint statement. “Blake is remorseful and has apologized for his actions. He is a valued member of our Clippers family and we support him as he rejoins the team.” Ballmer and Rivers, who also is president of basketball operations, said Griffin is eager to get back to work, which starts immediately with rehab, appearances and attendance at games. within 108-100, but J.R.

Bryant and James started out guarding each other, a matchup NBA fans never got to witness in the Finals and will only see one more time when the Cavs visit the Lakers on March 10. Before the game, Bryant said he’s never viewed James as a rival. “I never looked to see what he was doing,” Bryant said. “I just felt like we were a completely different generation. I just missed that thing completely. Not like a Magic-Bird sort of thing. From the time he came into the league it was more helping him, giving him direction, advice.” James said he’s sorry he never developed a rivalry with Bryant. “We never had the matchup that everybody wanted, that we wanted,” he said. GAHS Rauch recorded three field goals and Autumn Roddy one. Wednesday’s loss marked the final game for GAHS seniors Walker and Hanna Johnson, along with the team’s foreign exchange student Koko Higa. “Those two seniors mean a lot to me. They stepped up and played big roles this year,” said Justice, completing his third year as the Blue Angels’ From Page 1B Jackson, off the bench, paced Warren with six field goals and 3-of-4 foul shots for 15 points. She scored 13 of those in the second half, while Lang —on five field goals and 4-of-6 free throws —finished with 14, including four field goals in the opening quarter. Kate Liston and Peyton Bowe added eight points apiece — and combined for all three of the Warriors’ three-pointers. Bowe bagged two and Liston one, all in the first half, while Liston went 3-of-4 from the foul line.

Coming in tonight we were a little flat, and we didn’t seem to have the intensity that we needed in the first half. We kind of got after them at halftime, they picked it up and that’s what we needed to push us over the edge.” RVHS ended the contest with a 36-34 rebounding advantage, and the Lady Raiders pulled down six offensive boards in the second half, one more than Wellston did. The Lady Raiders were led by senior Shelby Brown with 13 points and seven rebounds, followed by Courtney Smith with seven points, nine rebounds and three assists. Jaden Neal scored five points, Maggie Campbell and Tianna Qualls each added four, while Erin Jackson came away with three points and two assists. RVHS senior and Fairmont State University signee Leia Moore recorded two points, six rebounds and three assists for the victors. Smith and Brown also led the Silver and Black defensively with four and three steals respectively, while Qualls marked a team-best four blocked shots. For the game River Valley shot 8-of-12 (66.7 percent) from the free throw line and 14-of-48 (29.2 percent) from the field, including 2-of-15 (13.3 percent) from beyond the arc. As a team the Silver and Black recorded head coach. “Hanna was in her first year in the program, but came on strong at the end of the season. Jordan was one we counted on for rebounds and scoring. Both of them are going to be missed.” However, a solid nucleus should return. “Everybody should be back for next year. I’ve told the girls all year long that they are a 10 assists, 10 steals, seven blocks and 17 turnovers. “Offensively we couldn’t get much of a rhythm going,” Evans-Moore said. “We took some shots that we were making in the last two-orthree games, but we did not hit them tonight. We kind of changed our plan and looked to put it inside and that helped us a little bit.” WHS senior Alexis Green led the Blue and Gold with nine points and 13 rebounds, while Sydney Mullins scored four points. Amber Kisor rounded out the Lady Rocket scoring with three points to go with eight rebounds. Lauren Riepenhoff posted a team-best three assists, Green and Katelyn Stewart led the defense with two steals apiece, while Kisor blocked two shots. The Lady Rockets made 2-of-6 (33.3 percent) free throws and 6-of-48 (12.5 percent) field goal attempts, including 3-of-26 (11.5 percent) three-point tries. Collectively, the Blue and Gold posted five assists, five steals, three rejections and 21 turnovers. River Valley also topped Wellston twice this regular season, first on December 7 by a 47-29 count in Jackson County, and again on January 14 by a 60-37 final in Bidwell.
