According to Meigs County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Fisher, Daboni moved into the area solely for the purpose of trafﬁcking in heroine. Fisher asked the court for the maximum on each count to “send a message” to others that trafﬁcking heroin in Meigs County would not be tolerated. Defense Attorney Jason Holdren outlined reasons Daboni, who he said “We continue to battle drugs in the county and the voice of the jury was clear. Our office continues to fight the drug problem and the work of the Major Crimes Task Force of Meigs and Gallia Counties continues.” — Sheriff Keith Wood maintained his innocence, should not be given the maximum sentence. Holdren argued his client did not have any prior felony convictions and was the father of three children. He asked Daboni be considered on his own his- tory, instead of sentencing being about “sending a message.” Judge Crow asked Daboni on two occasions if he would like to address the court or to say something on his behalf.

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio panel is continuing to review a proposal to override local ordinances that regulate pet stores. The Senate Ways and Means Committee added the idea to an unrelated tax measure last week. It heard testimony Wednesday. Grove City’s council members voted in March to require pet stores to purchase animals from shelters and rescue groups. The ordinance would block stores from getting animals from high-volume breeders, which critics say are often “puppy mills” that treat animals poorly. It’s slated to take effect on Jan. 1. Toledo also bars the sale of dogs by retailers unless obtained through shelters and rescue groups. House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger says the amendment needs more vetting and maybe its own separate bill. The Senate committee had inserted the idea into a House bill.

House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger told reporters Wednesday the bill could open up pastors to vulnerabilities, and he believes the U.S. Constitution provides them protections.

She said heroin is a nationwide problem and law enforcement in Meigs County is working to wipe out heroin trafﬁcking from the area. The level of heroin being sold in Meigs County became apparent during the trial as witnesses and law enforcement took the stand. According statements made by Fisher to Crow before sentencing, Amber Duffy and Chad Diddle allegedly sold heroin in excess of $250,000 while they were working for Daboni. The couple were each paid a half gram of heroin a day in exchange for selling heroin the Racine area in 2014.

He was sentenced to the following: Case 14-CR173: three felony counts of trafﬁcking heroin in the ﬁfth degree, 12 months each count; one felony count in the ﬁrst degree of possession of drugs, eight years; one felony count in the ﬁrst degree engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, 11 years.

Call 992.2155 �E ditorial 4 Thursday, May 12, 2016 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Controlling college costs Holding roundtables across our state is one of the most important things I do in the Senate — it gives me a chance meet with and hear the stories of Ohioans of all backgrounds, and to gather new ideas. One of the early ideas that came out of these roundtables was the Ohio College Presidents Conference — an annual summit to bring together the leaders of Ohio’s great institutions of higher learning. We have such diversity in higher education in Ohio — we have public and private schools, colleges with a few hundred students and universities with tens of thousands, four-year institutions and community colleges. And at the end of April, leaders from these schools came together at my ofﬁce in the Senate to discuss the future of Sherrod higher education in Ohio. Brown We heard from experts from think Contributing tanks and government agencies, jourColumnist nalists, professors, and other senators. But the purpose of the conference isn’t only for the presidents to hear from experts — it’s for the experts, and for me and my staff, to hear from our Ohio leaders in higher education. They’re the ones creating opportunity for students to be the ﬁrst in their family to go to college. They’re the ones preparing those students for the jobs of tomorrow. And they are the ones doing the research and partnering with the private sector to create those jobs. One of the biggest challenges we face in higher education today is ensuring that all Ohioans – no matter what their background is — can afford to take advantage of the great higher-ed options we have in our state. More than two-thirds of 2014 graduates in Ohio left school with student loan debt, which averaged more than $29,000 for every student. The total amount of student debt in the United States has more than tripled in the past 10 years, from $363 billion in 2005 to more than $1.32 trillion today– a number that exceeds both credit card and auto loan debt. Across the country, young workers have been forced to postpone important life decisions like getting married, buying a home, or starting a family. Graduates today have less disposable income, lower credit scores, and can struggle to become ﬁnancially secure adults. We have to do better. That’s why this year I joined my colleague Senator Tammy Baldwin to introduce the In the Red Act of 2016, to provide relief for students struggling under mountains of debt, and to make new investments in college affordability. It would allow students to reﬁnance their outstanding debt at lower rates, increase Pell Grants to keep pace with rising costs, and make new investments in community colleges. This is just one step we can and should take to create more opportunity for all Ohioans to get a ﬁrstclass education. It’s also just one of many issues we addressed at the conference – we discussed accreditation, student activism, increasing access to STEM ﬁelds, and so much more. The future of higher education in Ohio is bright — and will be all the brighter when we expand opportunities for all students to graduate without crippling debt and pursue their dreams. Contact Sen.

The Eastern and Southern baseball teams — which each claimed a victory over the other in the regular season — met for a third time in the Division IV Sectional Final, on Tuesday night at EHS. The Eagles and Tornadoes combined for 16 strikeouts Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Eastern senior Cameron Richmond tossed a complete game, and zero walks, while both shutout on Tuesday night, as the Eagles defeated Southern teams got a complete game 3-0 in the sectional final, in Tuppers Plains. effort from their starting pitchers, but it was the host Green and Gold that came out on top, by a 3-0 ﬁnal. The game’s ﬁrst 10 batters were retired in order before Josh Brewer came through with a one-out single in the second inning for the Eagles (15-9). After advancing to second base on an SHS (11-12) error, Brewer scored on the Tornadoes’ second defensive mishap of the frame, giving the hosts a 1-0 advantage. The Eagles strung together three consecutive hits in the third inning, but a base running error and a 9-4-6 double play allowed the Purple and Gold to escape the frame unscathed. Eastern pushed its lead to 3-0 with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, as Dillon Swatzel singled home Ethen Richmond and Jesse Morris. Southern’s ﬁrst base runner of the game came with two-outs in the top of the ﬁfth inning, when Billy Harmon was hit by a pitch. However, EHS senior Cameron Richmond struck out the next batter to keep the Eagle lead at 3-0. Southern junior Wesley Clark singled to lead off the sixth inning, marking the Tornadoes’ ﬁrst hit of the game. After a ﬁelder’s choice and a ﬂy-out to third base, the Purple and Gold put two runners in scoring position, thanks to an EHS error. However, a ﬂy-out to second base stranded both Tornado runners and kept Eastern’s advantage at 3-0. With two outs in the top of the seventh, Harmon singled to give the guests some hope, but a groundout to the pitcher capped off Eastern’s 3-0 victory and its 19th sectional crown.

White Falcons eliminate Hannan, 15-1 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ASHTON, W.Va. — It started as a battle between Mason County programs. By the end of Tuesday night, it was more of a contest against both time and Mother Nature. The Wahama baseball team scored seven runs in each of its ﬁrst two innings at the plate, then hurried to beat lightning and potential downpours in a 15-1 mercy-rule victory over Hannan in a Class A Regio4, Section 3 tournament contest at the Craigo Athletic Complex on the campus of Hannan High School. The White Falcons (16-8) — who served as the home team on the scoreboard — started its 2015 Class A state title defense on a positive note after sending 11 batters to the plate in both the ﬁrst and second frames. WHS never trailed as Philip Hoffman delivered a sacriﬁce ﬂy to center for the ﬁrst out of the bottom of the ﬁrst, with Ricky Kearns scoring the eventual game-winning run for a 1-0 advantage. Jared Nutter scored on a passed ball for a 2-0 cushion, then Tyler Grimm hammered a two-run shot to left ﬁeld that gave the White Falcons a 4-0 cushion with one out. Wahama plated three more runs with two outs, giving the hosts a seven-run edge after one complete. The Wildcats (4-9-1) followed with their lone run of the night as Junior Morehart reached on a ﬁelder’s choice and later scored on a James Bledsoe ground out, cutting the deﬁcit down to 7-1. Wahama, however, retaliated with ﬁve runs before committing an out in its half of the second, then tacked on two more scores with two outs in the frame while securing a 14-1 cushion through two complete. The Red and White picked up a free run in the third as a bases loaded walk brought Tyler Grimm home for a 15-1 cushion. The skies started to darken headed into the fourth, with both rain and lightning forecasted before the start of the game. Hannan sent the minimal three batters to the plate in the top half of the frame, then WHS countered by bunting three times for a quick trip through the batting order. The Wildcats produced their only hit of the night to start the ﬁfth as Bledsoe singled, but he was thrown out at second shortly afterwards for the ﬁrst out. Grimm followed by recording back-to-back strikeouts to wrap up the mercyrule outcome. Wahama — which had scored four or more runs in only three of its previous eight games — snapped a two-game losing skid with the triumph. The White Falcons had also dropped six of their last eight contests overall. After reaching double-digit runs for the ﬁrst time in May, Wahama coach Tom Cullen seemed to let out a small sigh of relief after seeing his offense suddenly come to life. He’s also hoping for more of the same from here on out. “We’ve been needing a night like tonight because we’ve really been struggling to hit the ball of late,” Cullen said. “The whole group came together and hit the ball hard tonight, so that was encouraging. We have our big arms coming against Calhoun County, so hopefully we can continue to hit the ball hard and get those guys some run support in the next few days.” WHS will face Calhoun County in a best-of-three series starting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Hannan High School. On the other side of things, Hannan had its season come to an end after suffering its second straight loss in the Region 4, Section 3 tournament. The Wildcats lost a 5-4 decision to Calhoun County on Monday night following a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh. Second-year HHS coach Tad Greathouse was disappointed for his seniors and to have the season come to an end, but he also noted that the program continues to make strides — particularly with a young nucleus of talent expected back. “I do want to say congratulations to Wahama and wish them all the best of luck, but I am also extremely proud of my kids as well,” Greathouse said. “We lost by a run in the opener and we came up with a run against the defending state champs, and I know they left everything that they had out on that ﬁeld in both games. Honestly, they always played hard and with effort — and that’s what I’m most proud of. “It’s going to be tough trying to replace what those seniors have meant to the program over the last few years, but we are a relatively young team that has a lot of room for improvement next year if we stick to it. We want to continue building the program so that we can compete.” It was the ﬁnal high school game for Cole Poore and Isaiah Burgess in the Blue and Gold. Wahama outhit the Wildcats by a 10-1 overall margin and committed one of the three errors in the contest. The White Falcons stranded ﬁve runners on base, while HHS left only one on the bags. Jared Oliver was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned run, no hits and two walks over three innings of work while striking out one. Grimm also fanned two and allowed one hit in two innings of relief for Wahama. The Wildcats used four different pitchers in the contest, with Corey Hudnall taking the loss after allowing 10 runs in an inning-plus of work.

(AP) — Pat McCrory likes to spin a tale meant to illustrate his love for high octane and burned rubber. It was 30 years ago, when the future governor of North Carolina was a 19-year-old who drove a ‘72 Fiat. McCrory says he saw the back gate had been left open at Charlotte Motor Speedway, so he slipped on in and watched David Pearson win the World 600. McCrory draws hearty guffaws when he tells that story during appearances on behalf of NASCAR. He talks about how during his days as mayor of Charlotte, he used NASCAR to help recruit talent to the city, “especially mechanics, electricians, the aerospace engineers, the metallurgy specialists,” McCrory said last October. McCrory also lauded an economic impact study that the speedway said shows a $450 million contribution from the track to the Charlotte-area economy. It’s fair to say that McCrory loves NASCAR and NASCAR loves the governor. That’s now a risky alignment as McCrory has doubled-down on North Carolina’s socalled “bathroom law” requiring transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certiﬁcate. The governor and the U.S. Justice Department sued each other Monday, with the feds saying the law amounts to “state-sponsored discrimination” and McCrory accusing the Obama administration of rewriting civil rights law to protect transgender people’s access to bathrooms everywhere. The law has been criticized by gay rights groups and led Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam to cancel concerts in North Carolina. PayPal reversed plans to open a 400-employee facility in Charlotte, and Deutsche Bank froze expansion plans near Raleigh. Nearly 200 corporate leaders from across the country, including Charlottebased Bank of America, have called for the law to be repealed. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said last month that the All-Star Game won’t be played in Charlotte next February if the law does not change. He also said he sees no reason to move the game now because he’d prefer to ﬁrst try to work with state ofﬁcials. That’s sort of the same stance taken by NASCAR, which waited well over a month to weigh in on the topic at all. NASCAR has ofﬁces in downtown Charlotte, its research and development center is located near Charlotte Motor Speedway, and most race teams are based in North Carolina. Yet NASCAR Chairman Brian France has been standofﬁsh regarding the law, choosing to stay out of the fray with a soft stance of having behind-the-scenes discussions. As always, the debate rages over the mingling of sports and politics. Since sports are supposed to be entertainment and a distraction from real life, many fans prefer their teams and players stay out of the fray. But NASCAR doesn’t get that pass because the series has so openly blurred the lines. In one calendar year alone, France said the Confederate ﬂag is not welcome at NASCAR race tracks, he endorsed Donald Trump for president and the pre-race invocation at Texas Motor Speedway was used to pray for a “Jesus Man” to win the White House. NASCAR is so deep into this political cycle that there’s no climbing out of it anytime soon. So what does NASCAR plan to do about a law that McCrory said Monday is not a North Carolina issue but a national issue? Well, NASCAR could move the All-Star Race scheduled for May 21 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It would be a dramatic decision, one that would place a signiﬁcant burden on fans who have already paid for travel arrangements, and a blow to Speedway Motorsports Inc., the owners of the speedway. It won’t happen and NASCAR is just as unlikely to move the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend. But even starting that conversation could get McCrory’s attention. Unless, of course, NASCAR is OK with the law as it is currently written. If that’s the case, then silence and inaction probably is the best policy. After all, the governor is a NASCAR fan. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant Lady Knights, by a single solitary point, and the Gallia Academy Blue Devils — by 24 to be exact — won Monday evening’s Battle For The Anchor annual track and ﬁeld meet. This year’s dual meet between the Ohio River rivals Gallia Academy and Point Pleasant took place at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Point Pleasant. In a close encounter among the girls, with Gallia Academy amassing 10 event wins while Point Pleasant posted eight, the Lady Knights utilized their depth for more points at the second and third-place spots. Point Pleasant ﬁnished with 71.5 points, compared to 70.5 for Gallia Academy. That said, all points — as the meet was scored on 5-3-1 individual point basis for ﬁrsts, seconds and thirds — mattered. The Lady Knights swept the three sprint relays (4x100m, 4x200m and 4x400m) — picking up 15 points in the process while the Blue Angels earned none. The 4x100m team featured Carlee Dabney, Madison Hatﬁeld, Bri Reymond and Teagan Hay, while opening leg Sydney Moore and anchor leg Kyla Scott joined Dabney and Hay for the 4x200m. Hay, Hatﬁeld, Moore and Scott then combined to win the 4x400m relay. In the shuttle hurdles relay, which West Virginia features regularly while Ohio does not, Dabney, Sierra Toles, Lexi Toth and Cierra Porter captured that event. Dabney also won the 100m hurdles, while Hay followed that by winning the 100m dash. Point Pleasant picked up wins in the throwing events as well, as junior Aislyn Hayman swept the shot put and discus throw. For the Blue Angels, senior Mary Watts won four events, sweeping the three distance races (800m, 1,600m and 3,200m runs) and claiming the high jump. Madi Oiler amounted a pair of wins, taking the 400m dash and 300m hurdles. The Blue Angels’ other three individual victories were by Erin Lincoln in the 200m dash, Grace Martin in the long jump and Varna Thayaparan in the pole vault. Gallia Academy opened the meet by winning the 4x800m relay, which featured Sabrina Manygoats, Caitlyn Caldwell, Abby Cremeans and Halley Deem. On the boys side, the Blue Devils doubled up the Black Knights in event wins — 12-6. Isaiah Lester swept the three sprint races (100m, 200m and 400m), while Kaleb Crisenbery was a triple winner with wins in the 800m run, 1,600m run and high jump. Gallia Academy’s Ezra Blain swept the two hurdles races (110m high hurdles and 300m hurdles), while Caleb Greenlee gained a victory in the 3,200m run. The Blue Devils also amounted 15 points by winning three relays — the 4x400m, the 4x800m and the shuttle hurdles. Lester anchored the 4x400m relay, as Crisenbery ran the third leg with Dylan Nunn and Zac Bokal on the opening two. In the shuttle hurdles, the quartet consisted of Blain, Bokal, Greenlee and senior anchor Matthew Russell. The names of the members of the 4x800m relay were not made available. The Black Knights swept the sprint relays (4x100m and 4x200m) — with the foursomes consisting of Shebaniah Harris, Grant Safford, Keyshawn Stover and Cason Payne. Cody Mitchell swept the shot put and discus throw, while Payne won the long jump and Trevor Hawkins the pole vault. A complete list of results can be found on www. runwv.com. Point Pleasant returned to action on Wednesday with the Class AAA regional meet at Winﬁeld. Gallia Academy is in two conference meets this weekend — at the Ohio Valley Conference meet on Friday followed by the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League meet in Logan on Saturday.

Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Thursday, May 12, 2016 Daily Sentinel Browns owners pick up Curry is 1st unanimous NBA MVP, takes honor again tab to refurbish fields OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry is the ﬁrst unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season Tuesday after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season. The Golden State superstar is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the ﬁrst guard to do so since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada. He was followed in the vote by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh. Curry is the ﬁrst two-time winner in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner. After guiding Golden State to its ﬁrst championship in 40 years, Curry & Co. took that success even further to ﬁnish with 73 regular-season wins to top mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10. In a stunning overtime performance Monday night, Curry showed exactly how he can take over a game in a matter of seconds. He returned from a sprained right knee to score 40 points — and 17 in overtime — in a 132-125 win at Portland to put his team up 3-1 in the Western Conference semiﬁnals. “I ﬁgured that he’d ﬁnd his stroke and make a few shots, but I mean that was, that was crazy,” said Steve Kerr, who was voted NBA Coach of the Year last month. Curry, now one of the most recognizable athletes worldwide, will be presented with his MVP trophy Tuesday at Oracle Arena before trying to close out the series against the Trail Blazers at home Wednesday night. With his dazzling ballhandling and jaw-dropping long-range touch from way, way back, Curry has forced defenses to extend. He made a record 402 3-pointers after no player had previously even hit 300 in a season. He averaged an NBA-best 30.1 points per game to go with 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds. He also led the NBA with 2.1 steals a game while shooting 50.4 percent from the ﬁeld, 45.4 percent from 3-point range and 90.8 percent from the foul line. From the start of the season, Curry vowed to take his game to another level — and did he ever. Now, all that matters to him is staying healthy and leading the Warriors to another title.

After dealing away the No. 2 overall pick and dropping down again in the ﬁrst round, Cleveland’s group of top executives — one of whom cut his teeth in major league baseball — selected 14 players, including a quarterback they hope will challenge for a starting job. “I thought it was terriﬁc,” Dee Haslam said. “I’m extremely excited.” “We got a lot of players,” her husband said. “I think what’s equally important is that we positioned ourselves well for the next two drafts, so we’re excited.” The Haslams spoke Monday following a news conference at which they announced they’re paying to have ﬁve Cleveland-area high school ﬁelds renovated with synthetic turf. The project will cost nearly $3 million. It was the couple’s ﬁrst public appearance since the draft last month when the Browns picked four receivers, three pass rushers, two offensive linemen, two defensive backs, a tight end and an inside linebacker. The club also used a third-round pick on Southern California quarterback Cody Kessler, a Eagles it’s nice for him to have the memory of his last time on our ﬁeld, pitching the way From Page 6 that he did.

Jackson convinced the Browns to sign free agent Robert Grifﬁn III and offered his opinion and support for the club dealing the second overall pick and a chance to select North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz, who was taken by Philadelphia. “His track record’s been pretty good,” Haslam said of Jackson’s inﬂuence on the quarterbacking decisions. “You just look at the teams that are really good in the NFL and for the most part they’re really good at that position. I think we have a head coach who understands talent at that position but equally as important how to coach them. He’s coaching the quarterbacks hard every day, and I think that’ll make a difference over a period of time.” Overall, the Haslams were thrilled with the teamwork shown by executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, chief strategy ofﬁcer Paul DePodesta and executive vice president of player personnel Andrew Berry in their initial draft. 9 PM 9:30 Fantastic Four Four people must (:45) HBO 400 (HBO) Halston Sage, Nat Wolff.

EHS claims the season series over Southern by a 2-1 count, as the Eagles won at home on March 29, by a 11-3 ﬁnal, and Southern took a 4-1 decision on April 15, at Star Mill Park. This marks the ﬁnal game in the Purple and Gold for SHS seniors Kris Shortridge, Jeremy Dutton and Andrew Shockey. “We’re losing three seniors, but we have pretty much everyone in our starting nine back,” Wickline said. “We have a good core coming back and we want to have a good offseason, play some summer ball and get ready for next year. I think we made big strides this year, ﬁnishing ﬁfth in a tough league. With our kids coming back, I think we’ll be in a good spot next year.” The Eagles will advance to Sunday’s Division IV District Semiﬁnal at Paint Stadium, where they will take on the winner of Portsmouth Notre Dame and Ironton St. Joseph. The sectional ﬁnal between the Titans and Flyers was suspended in the ﬁfth inning on Tuesday night, with top-seeded NDHS leading 3-0. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2100.
