Timothy Warner, a senior at the University of Rio Grande, was this year’s recipient. The Meigs chapter was organized in 1969 and is part of the Ohio Retired Teachers Association established in 1947. ORTAs founding coincided with the organization of the National Retired Teachers Association, and Ohio, along with California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania became the first affiliates. Today, there are 90 chapters of ORTA, one in each county and two in Cuyahoga and Stark counties. Both ORTA and NRTA are advocates for retired public educators and work to improve pensions and benefits. Services are available for both active and retired public educators. The mission of the association is to “encourage educators to improve and develop their capabilities to meet the social and economic changes and issues subsequent to their retirement, and to sponsor and support legislation and programs intended to contribute to their well-being — locally, statewide and nationally.” Membership is open Warner to any teacher or administrator retired from the public schools, state and municipal colleges and universities of Ohio or in any other state but living in Ohio. The Meigs Retired Teachers Association meets regularly and invites speakers who present various topics of interest to the group. The past 16 years, the chapter has sponsored a scholarship for a junior or senior in college majoring in education, and whose family is a Meigs County resident. The scholarship is usually awarded later in the year, but Warner will be graduating in May and the group wanted to extend their support during his last semester of college. Warner is from Pomeroy and has been working part-time as a waiter at Courtside Bar and Grill in Gallipolis during his college years to help pay for his education. As with all Retired Teachers Association scholar- ship recipients, Warner is an education major and has been a member of the track and field team at the university for four years. He plans to teach at a high school after graduation, and said he also wants to coach. “I am on partial scholarship at URG and work to pay for my other college expenses. I am thankful to have the opportunity to further my education at Rio Grande and feel very blessed to have received this scholarship.” Contact Lorna Hart at 740-992-2155 Ext. 2551 Chemical burn at Meigs HS ruled accident By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Meigs Local School District has released some information about a hydrochloric acid spill that occurred in a chemistry class last week. The incident occurred Feb. 12 when procedures in a science classroom weren’t properly followed, Meigs Local Schools Superintendent Rusty Bookman said. He did not elaborate on who had not followed procedures, but said that ultimately it was ruled an accident. According to Bookman, three students were transferred to the Holzer Emergency Room in Pomeroy, where a decision was made to transfer one student to Huntington for further evaluation. According to the Open Chemistry Database, hydrochloric acid is a “strong corrosive juice that is commonly used as a laboratory reagent” which is formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. It is corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. It may also, if inhalated over a short-term period, cause nose, eye and respiratory tract irritation. The solution of this substance is a colorless, watery liquid that has a sharp odor that can irritate the nostrils. Hydrochloric acid, as with many other chemicals, should be handled with gloves and often goggles in a classroom setting. Bookman said that high school Principal Steve Ohlinger has been in contact with the parents of those affected, and that Ohlinger had not heard more on the student transported to Huntington, as of Thursday afternoon. “You’ve just got to tighten up your belt and improve procedures,” Bookman said. “I don’t know if you can ever 100 percent prevent something like that from happening, but you can stack the odds in your favor. Safety is priority.” Bookman said the investigation by Ohlinger has basically been concluded after speaking with students and teachers, all of who were unnamed.

This number is up from 2014’s end amount, which was $2.49 million — $160,000 less than this year. Commissioner Tim Ihle, with agreement from commissioners Mike Bartrum and Randy Smith, said local businesses and those who choose to shop local can thank themselves for the increase. “I hope everybody appreciates the fact that buying locally, car sales, you name it, a lot of different (business types) come back into (residents’) pockets to do something in the county,” Ihle said. “I hope people see new sidewalks, new buildings — a different county.” The commissioners also announced they had received the payment No. 9 application for the EMS Med-Flight building going up next to the new Meigs County EMA building. While nothing has officially been planned, the new building is set to begin operations next month. The commissioners said they will submit to finalize that loan, with Hoon Inc., of Athens, who is completing the project, also approving the payment of the application. The amount is $57,668.49. Lastly, the commissioners clarified some confusion regarding their meeting from last week. Commissioner Randy Smith said the trio had received inquiries from Meigs County residents regarding the details of the county’s jail contract. According to the commissioners, 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. Smith, on Thursday, clarified to residents that many different agencies supply housing for arrestees in Meigs County, not just Washington County. However, the Washington County contract was the first that the commissioners have received this year. Bills were approved, with county general bills totaling $22,193.84 and total bills costing $184,112.14. Next week’s meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 25 at 11 a.m. Reach Lindsay Kriz at 740-992-2155 EXT. 2555. �LOCAL/NATION 2 Friday, February 19, 2016 Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES BOWLES DANVILLE, Va. — Judy Ellen Bowles, 61, of Danville, passed away Monday, Feb. 15, 2016.

In that request, the newspaper asked for citation letters for properties where a child’s blood was found to have high levels of lead. The court found those records didn’t contain any information about “medical examination, assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of any medical condition” of individuals, Pfeifer said. ‘Not Christian’ to only build border walls By Nicole Winfield and Julie Pace ingness to needle U.S. politicians on hot-button Associated Press issues.

Francis, the first pope from Latin America, urged Congress during his visit to Washington last year to respond to immigrants “in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal.” He irked Republicans on the same trip with his forceful call for international action to address climate change. Immigration is among the most contentious issues in American politics. Republicans have moved toward hardline positions that emphasize law enforcement and border security, blocking comprehensive legislation in 2013 that would have included a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally. Hispanics, an increasingly large voting bloc in U.S. presidential elections, have flocked to Democrats in recent years. President Barack Obama won more than 70 percent in the 2012 election, leading some Republican leaders to conclude that the party must increase its appeal to them. However, the current GOP presidential primary has been dominated by increasingly tough rhetoric on immigration. Trump has insisted that Mexico will pay for his proposed border wall and has said some Mexicans entering the U.S. illegally are murderers and rapists. While Trump’s rhetoric has been among the most inflammatory, some of his rivals have staked out similar enforcement positions. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are among those who have explicitly called for construction of a wall. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, one of the few GOP candidates proposing a path to legal status for people already in the U.S. illegally, said Thursday that he supports “walls and fencing where it’s appropriate.” Bush said that while he gets his guidance “as a Catholic” from the pope, he doesn’t take his cues from Francis on “economic or environmental policy.” Marco Rubio, another Catholic seeking the GOP nomination, said that Vatican City has a right to control its borders and so does the United States. Rubio said he has “tremendous respect and admiration” for the pope, but he added, “There’s no nation on Earth that’s more compassionate on immigration than we are.” will be 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21, 2016, at Willis Funeral Home.

OHIO STATE BRIEFS State school board member seeks audit of charter office COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio school board member has asked federal education officials to seek an independent audit of the state Department of Education, although the state board rejected the proposal. Attorney and retired judge A.J. Wagner told the U.S. Charter Schools Program director in an email Monday that an outside review is the only way to accurately determine what happened in Ohio’s charter oversight office last year. The office’s then-director, David Hansen, acknowledged omitting failing grades from certain charterschool sponsor evaluations. The evaluations were rescinded, and Hansen resigned. No further action has been taken against him or others in the office. Hansen’s wife manages Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign. Wagner says he’s concerned an ongoing review by Auditor Dave Yost, a fellow Republican co-chairing Kasich’s campaign, won’t be objective. Yost disagrees. Mom, grandma charged after 2 kids revived by opiate antidote WARREN (AP) — The mother and grandmother of two young children who were revived using the opiate antidote naloxone have been charged with felonies in Ohio. Authorities say doctors revived the 9- and 21-month-old children on Feb. 2 after their mother found them unconscious on the floor in their Warren home and took them to a hospital. The 18-year-old mother, Carlisa Davis, was indicted Thursday in Trumbull County on two counts of endangering children. She pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $50,000 bond. The children’s grandmother, 43-year-old Lisa Davis, was charged with permitting drug abuse. She pleaded not guilty and was freed on a personal bond. Court records don’t indicate whether the women have attorneys. Trumbull County has taken custody of the children. Man charged with assault in Ohio hospital guard’s stabbing AKRON (AP) — A man accused of stabbing an unarmed security guard at an Ohio hospital in the neck and abdomen has been charged with felonious assault. Thirty-three-year-old Andrew Wallace appeared in court Wednesday and is being held on $100,000 bond. Online court records didn’t indicate whether he has an attorney. Police say Wallace stabbed a 54-year-old security guard Tuesday night while being accompanied to a psychiatric ward at Summa St. Thomas Hospital in Akron. An Akron police spokesman has said Wallace had two knives when he was taken to the hospital. The guard underwent surgery at another hospital. He is expected to recover. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration says it is investigating the stabbing. Kasich to campaign in Miss. GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich brings his bid for the GOP presidential nomination to Mississippi next week. Kasich will host a Town Meeting at Cafe Climb in Gulfport on Wednesday, Feb. 24. The free event begins at 11 a.m. Kasich finished second in last week’s Republican primary in New Hampshire. He will be the second presidential candidate to campaign in the area. Donald Trump made a stop at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum last month. University to make more cuts amid budget shortfall TOLEDO (AP) — A university in northwestern Ohio will make more budget cuts after a lower-thanprojected fall enrollment. The University of Toledo president said Wednesday that the school will cut its operating budget by 1.5 percent this year and trim another 3 percent from the entire budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Blade in Toledo reports the cuts will amount to about $600,000 this year and around $8.7 million for the upcoming fiscal year. UT President Sharon Gaber announced the latest cuts in an email to faculty and staff on Wednesday. �NATION Daily Sentinel Friday, February 19, 2016 3 NEWS IN BRIEF Obama meets rights leaders Judi Morrison, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky based in Indianapolis, WASHINGTON said the facility “fol(AP) — President Barack Obama met with lowed longstanding protocol and received civil rights leaders on necessary authorization Thursday afternoon from the appropriate to discuss issues such authority ...” as criminal justice and “We ask that the execbuilding trust between utive branch continue law enforcement and the licensure process the communities they rather than continue serve. to make politicallyThe list of invitees motivated accusations,” included representaMorrison said in an tives from the NAACP and the National Urban email response to the League.

No death for killer mom LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration is asking a judge to penalize a Louisville Planned Parenthood facility for performing abortions without a license. Bevin, a staunchly anti-abortion Republican, ordered abortions halted at the downtown facility after learning last month that it was performing the procedures. Bevin was outraged over the news, saying the facility has shown “brazen disregard” for the law. Planned Parenthood says it got approval to begin performing abortions before former Gov. Steve Beshear’s administration left office in December. The state’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services sued Thursday in Jefferson County Circuit Court, seeking nearly $700,000 in fines against Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, which is based in Indianapolis.

Though Obama sees the re-launch with Cuba as a major achievement of his foreign policy, he’s had to strike a careful balance to defend engaging with a communist government that still is seen as stifling political opposition and restricting free speech. The White House pointed to Cuba’s recent release of long-term political prisoners, expansion of Internet hotspots and easing of restrictions on private business. On the economic front, the two nations signed a deal this week on commercial air traffic, and the U.S. approved its first factory in Cuba since 1959, when Fidel Castro took power and nationalized billions in American property. Still, Obama’s advisers said the U.S. isn’t satisfied with Cuba’s human rights approach, citing a rise in short-term detentions as one example. Obama has argued that the long U.S. effort to put an economic squeeze on Cuba has failed to advance U.S. interests. Engaging the former Cold War foe offers better prospects for reform, Obama and supporters of the policy change maintain. “For Cubans accustomed to watching their government sputter down the last mile of socialism in a ‘57 Chevy, imagine what they’ll think when they see Air Force One,” said Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican and one of Obama’s closest allies on Cuba. Last year Flake traveled to Havana with Secretary of State John Kerry as the American flag was raised over the re-opened U.S. Embassy. �FAITH & FAMILY 4 Friday, February 19, 2016 Daily Sentinel Being spiritually patient is God’s expectation Waiting on God is not so difficult a spiritual concept to understand. I have learned that it simply means giving God time to work things out. On the other hand, it is the “waiting on God to work things out” that proves difficult. The reason it is difficult is because we are not patient. We tend to think that many of our concerns, problems and prayer requests need immediate rectification. Our failure is not being able to see the total picture as God is able to do. Our discernment is limited to our temporal positioning, as opposed to God who is eternally positioned. He is not limited to time, but is always in the past, is in always in the present, and is always in the future, which puts Him in the power position of knowing all the whys-and-wherefores and ins-and-outs of those things which affects our lives.

By comparison, we all enemy. Learn to listen with ears of faith When our children were much younger, it was not unusual that as the shadows of night deepened to darkness and the quiet stillness of slumber finally filled our home, our children would begin to rest from all their cares and worries only when they were lulled to a place of peace by the gentle melody of their mother’s singing. And when the day’s first light would once again begin to spread its fingers across the sky, one often heard the sound of more quiet singing in our home. When the little ones in our arms nestled their little heads against us, my wife and I couldn’t help but sing. Such singing soothed the inexplicable fears and anxieties that beset our small children, but it also gave utterance to the joy and love we had (and still have) for our beloved offspring. And so our Heavenly Father sings to us a heavenly love song that only the ears of faith can hear. He sings of how A Hunger He would have us set aside worry and For More fear for ourselves, trusting both His goodness and His great and glorious Thom power to sustain us, protect us and Mollohan guide us in our daily living. “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you” (Luke 12:27-31 ESV). Ever does His Holy Spirit softly sing the notes of the melody of His love for you if only you will listen with ears of trusting obedience. Ever does He beckon you to lay your head upon the bosom of His love and hearken to His lullaby of grace. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32 ESV). The song of your heavenly Father, pleased as He is to give you the Kingdom through faith in His Son, is a song of joy and delight. Indeed, all of heaven sings in unabashed celebration when anyone turns from sin and selfishness and embraces the Father’s call to “come home” to Him. “… I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Jesus in Luke 15:10). Are you ready to come home to the heart of God? He is more than ready to receive you. Are you ready for the healing touch of the Father? He is more than willing to wash your sin away and set you free. Though you may feel unwanted, unloved, rejected and shut out of life, He yearns to hold you to Himself and sing you the love song that is borne out in the laying down of His life on the Cross of Calvary. The love song that He sings over you as you rest your weary, anxious heart in Him is one of peace, renewal, acceptance and strength. His voice drives away the dark shadows of worry, fear, sorrow and loneliness. Nowhere else can one find such a reassuring melody than the one our Heavenly Father sings to us through the loving gift of His “only begotten Son” (from John 3:16). Learn to listen with ears of faith and you will find an unparalleled “rest for your soul” (from Matthew 11:29).

One of the worship points of a Psalmists focuses on this very issue of waiting patiently on the Lord. Waiting patiently on the Lord was something he had learned personally. He said, “Truly my soul waits patiently upon God.” He could wait patiently because he knew that God was the “rock” on which he could stand for stability and strength while waiting, and that God was the “defense” that would victoriously sustain him while waiting. And, waiting upon God was something important for him to remind himself to do, for he wrote, “My soul, wait you only upon God, for my expectation is from Him.” In other words, he was expectant that God would work things out after proper and patient waiting. Because of his confident expectation, he averred, “I SHALL NOT BE MOVED!” This is not true for so many. If God does not work things out for them within the time frame allotted Him, they are indeed moved. They move themselves from worshipping God. They move themselves from faithfulness to God. They move themselves to move ahead of God by doing things themselves (as did Saul, and we know what it cost him). It is an important spiritual expectation that God’s people wait patiently on Him. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” Waiting is rewarding.

According to the words of the Lord, he died in his sins, and did not enter into that blessed realm where Christ awaits (cf. John 8:21-24) There are many, many people who are in much the same position as was King Agrippa. They have heard the gospel preached, but they resist obeying it. When the preacher comes calling, they make vague promises about getting right with God at some future date. Hearing the gospel makes them uncomfortable because they know it’s true, and they know it condemns them in their sins, but they don’t want to make the changes that Jesus is calling upon them to make. They are, in short, almost persuaded. Such individuals may go on to do many things in life, even as Agrippa did. They may fight important battles. They may earn important honors. They may have success as the world counts success. But when they die, they will stand before God unprepared. Rather than words of praise, they will hear that sad, final condemnation, “I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:23) Almost persuaded is fully lost.

He was a good man who owned many sheep and cattle. He lived with his wife, Sarai, in the land of Haran. But they had no children. One day, God came to Abram and said to him, “Abram, I want you to pack up all your things and leave your home. I want you to go to the land I will give you. I promise that I will bless you, and make your family great. I will be with you in all you do and because of you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Wow, that was quite a promise that God made to Abram, wasn’t it? But it was a scary one, too. It meant that Abram and Sarai would have to leave “Do not be afraid! I the place they knew am your defender, and go to a place and I promise I will they didn’t know. give you a great They would have reward!” to trust God that Abram asked everything would be God, “What kind of OK. But that’s just what Abram did. He God’s Kids reward? I don’t even have any children!” took his wife, Sarai, Korner Then God took and his nephew, Ann Moody Abram out beneath Lot.

It was just like trusted God because when any other night until God God makes a promise, He appeared. He told Abram, keeps it. And God did keep that promise and because of Abram all people on earth are blessed. It was all part of God’s plan. It’s good for us to remember that we too need to believe God in His promises and have faith in those promises. God has a plan for each of us and loves us very much. One day we will come to live with Him in heaven. This was the beginning of God’s plan. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear God, thank You for giving us promises that we can always count on and loving us so much that You have a plan for our lives and future. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 19, 1986, the U.S. Senate approved, 83-11, the Genocide Convention, an international treaty outlawing “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,” nearly 37 years after the pact had first been sub- mitted for ratification. On this date: In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1915, during World War I, British and French warships launched their initial attack on Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, a strait in northwestern Turkey. (The Gallipoli Campaign that followed proved disastrous for the Allies.) In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, clearing the way for the U.S. military to relocate and intern people of Japanese ancestry (including U.S.-born citizens) during World War II.

The Wahama boys basketball team committed 24 turnovers and trailed by 15 in the final rebounding tally Wednesday night in Washington County, as Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Waterford claimed a 73-50 victory. The Wildcats (17-4, 14-2 TVC Hocking) — who earned a share of the league title with the win — scored the games first 11 points and led by as many as 14 in the opening stanza. Wahama (7-11, 7-8) cut the deficit to one point at 16-15, but the hosts scored the final four points of the first quarter and led 20-15. Waterford’s lead grew to 41-31 by halftime and 60-39 by the end of the lopsided third period. The Washington County team closed out the 73-50 victory with an 13-11 fourth quarter spurt. Wahama junior Philip Hoffman led the White Falcons with 17 points, six rebounds and three assists, followed by Ryan Thomas with 10 points. Travis Kearns recorded nine points and six rebounds, Noah Litchfield added six points and six boards, while Nolan Pierce posted four points and six rebounds. Mason Hicks rounded out the Red and White scoring with four points in the setback. The White Falcons shot 4-of-13 (30.8 percent) from the free throw line and 20-of-48 (41.7 percent) from the field, including 6-of-17 (35.3 percent) from beyond the arc. As a team Wahama recorded 27 rebounds, eight assists, six steals, two blocks and 24 turnovers. Bryce Hilverding led the victors with 19 points and three assists, followed by Montana Brooker with 11 markers. Wyatt Lang and Jordan Welch both scored eight points, while pulling in nine and eight rebounds respectively. Isaac Huffman posted seven points, Riley Burns added six, Cody Harris chipped in with five, while Noah Hilverding scored three. Andrew Thieman, Travis Pottmeyer and Clayton Campbell rounded out the Waterford offense with two points apiece. The Wildcats shot 3-of-7 (42.9 percent) from the free throw line and 30-of-73 (41.1 percent) from the field, including 10-of-30 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc. The Green and White posted 42 rebounds, nine assists, 20 steals, four blocks and 11 turnovers in the win. Waterford also defeated Wahama in Mason on February 12, by a 54-47 final. The Wildcats share the 2015-16 TVC Hocking championship with Trimble, which secured its share of the crown with a win over Belpre on Tuesday. Waterford’s last league title came in the 2013-14 season when the Green and White shared the crown with Southern, while Trimble becomes the first team to repeat as league champions since Eastern won back-to-back titles under current THS head coach Howie Caldwell in the 200910 and 2010-11 seasons.

Tornadoes edge Eastern, 52-48 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS — The Tornadoes took the season series and more importantly the spot in the sectional final. The Southern boys basketball team —which split the two regular season meetings with archrival Eastern —claimed the third clash of the Meigs County schools by a 52-48 edge, in Wednesday night’s Division IV sectional semifinal at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, on the campus of Meigs High School. The 10th-seeded Tornadoes (6-17) started strong offensively, sinking 9-of-19 field goal tries, including 3-of-5 three-point attempts in the opening quarter. The Purple and Gold first quarter defense also came to play, holding the seventh-seeded Eagles (6-15) to 4-of-11 shooting from the field, while forcing five turnovers. SHS outrebounded Eastern by an 11-6 clip in the first period, leading to a 21-9 Tornado advantage on the scoreboard. The Green and Gold scored the first four points of the second stanza, but the Tornadoes responded with six of the next eight points, on three-pointers by juniors Blake Johnson and Tylar Blevins. Those two trifectas were Southern’s only two field goals of the period, however, as Eastern ended the half with an 7-0 run that made the halftime score 27-22 in favor of the Purple and Gold. Eastern continued its hot stretch to start the second half, scoring seven of the first nine points and tying the game at 29 with 3:52 left in the third quarter. Southern head coach Jeff Caldwell was forced to call a timeout to regroup and the Tornadoes responded with a 7-1 run to end the third. “We just ran a set to try and get a shot and Tylar hit a three,” SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell said of his changes in the timeout. “I thought we might need to switch it up a little bit to slow them down, because they had the momentum. That’s when we switched to the 2-3 zone.” Southern’s 36-30 lead at the start of the fourth quarter, grew to 46-35 with two minutes left in regulation, but the Purple and Gold had to play the remainder without the services of starting point guard Dylan Smith, who had just fouled out. By the 1:00 mark, Eastern trimmed the deficit to three points, but the Tornadoes scored three of the next four points and led 49-44 with 20 seconds to play. Eastern junior Jett Facemyer cut the deficit to one possession with a two-pointer at the 17 second mark, but Southern junior Crenson Rogers sank 1-of-2 free throws with 13 seconds left, making the SHS lead 50-46. Facemyer cut the lead to two points with six seconds left, and the Eagles fouled Rogers again with four seconds on the clock. The Southern center hit both free throws to drive the final nail in the 52-48 victory. “That was big, I’m really proud of him for hitting those two shots right there,” said Caldwell on Rogers final two free throw makes. “Crenson has been up and down from the foul line this year, but right there toward the end of the game we were trying to get the ball into Tylar’s hands or his hands. They are the guys who have been our leading scorers in a lot of games this year.” Rogers paced the Purple and Gold with 19 points and nine rebounds, while Blevins added 19 points and six boards. Trey Pickens posted six points and four rebounds, Smith added five points and a game-best six assists, while Johnson chipped in with three points and a team-high two steals. Rogers and Jaylen Blanks each recorded one steal and one block for the Tornado defense. “We really felt that we came in with a solid gameplan,” Eastern head coach Jeremy Hill said. “The gameplan was executed at times and at times, it wasn’t executed. Our kids never quit and that’s the sign of a maturing ball club. They didn’t just roll over and in the past we would have done that.” Facemyer charged the Eagle offense with 24 points, including 14 in the fourth quarter. EHS senior Dillon Swatzel recorded a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds, while Cameron Richmond had five points, seven rebounds and two assists. Corbett Catlett scored five points, Austin Coleman added two points and a team-best four steals, while Ross Keller marked one point and six rebounds.

They’re really a great group of seniors and they’ve shown the underclassmen what it means to be leaders. Everyday we were in the gym it was a positive atmosphere.

Saxton scored three secondperiod points on a field goal and free throw, and snared a game-high nine rebounds. Schultz and Sheets had four assists apiece, but it was Sheets’ shot in the final 2.5 seconds that moved the Marauders on. This season’s sectional at Logan featured five squads with at least 17 wins. Fry said Wednesday night’s matchup was as tough as they come. “Every basket tonight for both teams was just hard fought,” he said. “It was tough to score in there and keep them from scoring. But this four-five (seeded) match pretty much says these two teams are about equal. I said when I watched films of them it’s like looking into a mirror — watching them play and watching us play. But our kids did a great job down the stretch tonight. We really earned a hard-fought win.” Meigs’ most recent sectional championship was three years ago — as a Division III school. The Marauders must be clicking on all cylinders Saturday night to clip Fairfield Union. Tipoff time in Logan is set for 7 p.m. “They (Falcons) shoot the ball well and they have that size inside,” said Fry. “That’s our biggest concern, because we’re really not that strong of a rebounding team. We have to put some extra effort into that.

He did his job by knocking them down,” said the coach. So did Lilly, who also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds, when Meigs needed one. Trailing 26-21, Lilly landed his first three at the 6:20 mark of the third — before his other that made it 44-40 and set up the final 2:12. The Marauders shot 43.5-percent (17-of-20) from the field, compared to 34.5-percent (19-of-55) for the Braves, but Logan Elm only made four of its 22 trey tries against Meigs’ zone. In fact, three of those were in the opening quarter, when Young, Preston Schultz and Marcus Paul popped one apiece in building the 11-4 and 13-6 leads. “As a coach, sometimes we out-think ourselves, and I designed this great defense to stop Ridge Young. Of course, that is why we got down seven so early. So we went back to our bread-and-butter, which is our 1-3-1 (zone defense),” said Fry. “Once we started blocking out better on the boards, and came up with some loose balls here and there, we played a lot better.” Indeed the Marauders did defensively. Schultz sank the only other LE three, which made it 31-26 in favor of the Braves at the five-minute mark of the third. Young, despite 10 total field goals, took 25 shots — and didn’t make any of his final 10 three-point tries. He also made off with a game-high four steals. Smith scored the team’s pair FRIDAY EVENING 40 (DISC) Call us at: lessened the end-of-game drama, but Dillon Mahr missed both of the double-bonus free throws — following his rebound on Sheets’ block of Smith. Young needed just seven seconds to forge the 45-45 tie, but Sheets had plenty of time to sprint back up the court and get a run at the bucket — which is exactly what he did. Sheets scored eight points on four field goals, while Lilly landed five field goals and 2-of4 free throws for his 14. Mattox made two field goals and 3-of-4 freebies for seven, while Mahr split a pair of tosses in the third frame. Fortunately for the Marauders, they overcame 21 turnovers and only making 6-of-13 free throws, as Musser made five threes to provide Meigs with a spark. With Logan Elm ahead 14-12, Musser made his first trey from the top of the key, giving Meigs its first lead with nine minutes and 10 seconds gone by. He then canned one from the left corner at the 5:15 mark of the second quarter, making it 18-14, before his final of the canto from the left wing made it 21-18 with 2:40 to play. In the third, he drilled two triples from the right corner, book-ending a 10-2 run over the stanza’s final 4:50. Fry said since Musser didn’t score in Saturday night’s (Feb. 13) Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division game at Vinton County, something had to change. “He (Musser) went scoreless against Vinton County, and we couldn’t have that again. We’ve set some things up for him the last two days in practice. We year, the Tornadoes will meet South Gallia in the sectional championship game in Larry R.

Allen, who often refers to himself as a cowboy after being raised on a ranch, thanked everyone in a short video before saying, “I was going to ride off into the sunset, but seeing there is no sunset I’m just going to ride off.” He then turned the horse and galloped away into the dark night with snow on the ground.

The county is eligible for approximately $80,000 of PY 2016 CDBG Community Development Program funding and other Competitive Program funding programs as follows providing the county meets applicable program requirements: PY 2016 CDBG Critical Infrastructure Program grant ceiling $300,000; PY 2016 Downtown Revitalization Program grant ceiling $300,000; PY 2016 Neighborhood Revitalization Program grant ceiling $300,000; PY 2016 Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program grant ceiling $450,000 per county; PY 2016 CDBG Economic Development Program grant ceiling $500,000; PY 2016 Residential Public Infrastructure Program grant ceiling $600,000. The first of two public hearings will be held Monday, March 7, 2016, at 5:30:00 PM in the Meigs County Courthouse third floor Law Library, to provide citizens and local officials with pertinent information about the CDBG programs including an explanation of all eligible activities and program requirements. The CDBG program can fund a broad range of activities, including: economic development projects, street, water supply, drainage and sanitary sewer improvements, park acquisition and improvements, demolition of unsafe structures, rehabilitation of housing, and neighborhood facilities. The activities must be designed to primarily benefit low-and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or meet an urgent need of the community. Immediately after the first public hearing at 6:00 PM in the Meigs County Courthouse third floor Law Library, the Meigs County Commissioners & CDBG Coordinator will host the required Community Development Implementation Strategy (CDIS) meeting. CDIS stakeholders as follows are invited to attend: All 12 Townships, all 5 villages, MC Engineer, MC ED Director, MC Community Improvement Representative, Middleport Board of Public Affairs, Syracuse/Racine Sewer District Representative and Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency Representative. The purpose of the CDIS meeting is to provide a format to disseminate information about Economic and Appalachian Development Section Programs, all CDBG Programs, and assist with identifying and prioritizing potential funding opportunities. Citizens are encouraged to attend the meetings on March 7, 2016, to provide their input on the county's CDBG program.
